“How is the game supposed to run smoothly on the PS4?”

The users are discussing: However, some wonder how the game is supposed to run somewhat stably on the PS4 if the requirements are already comparatively high. For example, a user on reddit asks how the game is supposed to run smoothly on the PS4.

Many users probably still have the scenario with Cyberpunk 2077 in mind, which offered an incredibly poor performance on the PS4 and Xbox One. On the PS4 and Xbox, Cyberpunk 2077 was virtually unplayable, and there was even a lawsuit against the developers, and Sony even removed the game from the PS Store.

Have there been any tests on the PS4? Yes, some players reported that they were able to test Elden Ring during the network test (CNT) and that the game should run here at stable 30 FPS. Therefore, Elden Ring is indeed playable.

However, this does not necessarily reassure many users, as 30 FPS is the limit for many users regarding whether games are comfortably playable. With 30 FPS, you can already be at a disadvantage when you need to dodge quickly. Additionally, it is still unclear what role the framerate might play in crossplay between PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

In competitive multiplayer, players with a lower framerate might indeed be at a disadvantage. Because with fewer frames per second, you have less information available to you.

Elden Ring: All information about the action RPG with co-op and PvP – release, gameplay, system requirements

The studio “From Software” has announced the system requirements for Elden Ring. However, they confuse the users.

What is Elden Ring? Elden Ring is an action RPG in the style of Demon‘s Souls and Dark Souls. You get a very challenging RPG with plenty of depth and a dark story.

The developers have now introduced the official system requirements on Twitter. However, they vary significantly. This confuses many users who are looking forward to the game or have already been introduced to Elden Ring.

People discuss the official system requirements for Elden Ring

What are the system requirements for Elden Ring? The developers have published the official requirements. The requirements are aimed at PC players, as there are no special requirements to consider for PlayStation or Xbox.

Minimum RequirementsRecommended Requirements
Processori5-8400 or Ryzen 3 3300Xi7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600X
Memory12 GB16 GB
Graphics CardGeForce GTX 1060 3GB AMD RX 580 4GBGeForce GTX 1070, 8GB AMD RX Vega 56 8 GB
Hard Drive60 GB60 GB

Why are the users confused? Many users had assumed that Elden Ring would require 8 GB of RAM. However, the minimum requirements now list 12 GB, which has unsettled some users.

A user humorously explains on reddit:

My heart skipped a beat with the 12 GB of RAM. Then I remembered that I had upgraded my RAM to 16 last year, now I just need money for the game, but had to break my piggy bank due to a dental emergency.

On the other hand, some do not understand the confusion. A user on reddit explains that he expected high system requirements. But instead, he was pleasantly surprised:

When I read that the system requirements are crazy, I expected something really wild. But a GTX 1060 and 12 gigabytes of RAM? Really? That’s a pretty modest system by today’s standards. 16 gigabytes of RAM have been the standard for smooth PC gaming for over 4 years now.

In Lost Ark you can spam exclamation marks to deal more damage

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In Lost Ark, engravings play an important role in enhancing your character. However, one engraving is quite curious. You need to spam exclamation points to receive a proper damage buff. So if someone in your group is spamming the chat, they might have to do that.

What kind of engraving is this? The engraving is named Focused Sight and provides a significant buff. When the player types a message containing “!!!!!” in the chat, they increase the damage of their next ability by 8% at the first level and up to 28% at level 3. The buff is halved when you use an Awakening ability.

The engraving then has a cooldown of 30 seconds before the player has to spam the chat again.

So if you have a player in the group who constantly writes sentences with exclamation points in the chat, they are not a troll, but buffing their damage.

Lost Ark engraving Focused Sight

“Let’s be honest: It’s freaking funny”

How is the engraving received? In-game, the engraving has led to some curious situations. The user Tlim pointed it out on reddit after he obtained it himself, and it apparently caused some confusion in the Lost Ark chat. He writes:

I found myself in a dilemma. Is it worth being “that guy” who spams anime quotes in the chat every 30 seconds? Definitely!

The only problem I have is that random group members seem to be unaware of the existence of the engraving and therefore are calling me out for spamming the chat. Sorry, dude, it’s a game mechanic!

I thought I could perhaps raise a bit of awareness about the existence of this ability because, let’s be honest: It’s freaking funny.

via reddit

On reddit, this special engraving is well-received. Many ideas are shared in the comments about what one could spam in the chat to activate the bonus effect, including:

  • Let’s get dangerous!!!!!
  • I’m sorry!!!!!
  • The game makes me do this!!!!!
  • Never gonna give you up!!!!!

One user also reports that the engraving has become such a meme in Korea that players even spam sentences with five exclamation points in the chat, although they don’t even have the engraving active.

More about Lost Ark on MeinMMO:

Engravings strengthen your character, but also require some luck

What are engravings? With engravings, you can improve certain aspects of your character. However, you need to upgrade them by 5 to 15 points to unlock the bonuses.

To obtain the special engraving Focused Sight, you need to activate certain books that you can buy from the marketplace.

Epic finds new, innovative ways to really annoy the buyers of the original Fortnite

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In 2017, the original Fortnite: Save the World was released, initially a PvE game. Over the years, the game has been increasingly overshadowed by Fortnite: Battle Royale. Now comes the next blow: Not even as an “independent game” will Save the World be considered in February 2022, as the new patch removes it from the Fortnite launcher and it will only be a mode of the Free2Play game.

What is the original Fortnite? On July 25, 2017, Fortnite: “Save the World” was released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. At that time, it was an unusual early access title that was sold in stores. This was not typical for consoles. However, Save the World was an exception, as it was intended to be the showcase title of Unreal Engine 4.

Back then, it was stated: The game was now sold in a “raw state” but was to be further developed and ultimately released as a major Free-To-Play title in 2018.

The game heavily relied on microtransactions and grind. Players could sink a ton of money into “Loot Llamas,” which contained rare mythical cards. The selling prices at that time were also quite high: A Founder’s Pack cost up to €149. The standard PS4 version was priced at €59.90 at Media Markt – standard versions for PC and Xbox One were available for just under €40.

In the actual game, players built bases called “Forts” during the day in cooperative mode, which they then had to defend against various types of zombies at night (Nite). That’s also where the name comes from: Fortnite.

Fortnite: Battle Royale was developed in 2 months – By another team
von Schuhmann

Battle Royale turns original Fortnite into Cinderella

How did the mode perform? Relatively quickly, already in September 2017, Epic Games realized that their game “Fortnite: Save the World” was not performing as well as hoped. Therefore, they rapidly brought up “Fortnite: Battle Royale”, a fairly blatant copy of the game concept from “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”, which at the time was the biggest PC game in the world that they were technically overseeing as the developers of Unreal Engine.

PUBG even filed a lawsuit, but later withdrew it.

Fortnite: Battle Royale became one of the biggest gaming phenomena of all time in 2018. Epic Games allocated more and more resources to Fortnite: Battle Royale, shutting down the shooter Paragon, repurposing the team from Unreal Tournament, and limiting further work on Fortnite: Save the World.

The PvE game sank into obscurity, receiving less and less new content. The larger Fortnite became as a phenomenon, the smaller “Save the World” seemed by comparison.

The remaining fans hoped that the release of Fortnite: Save the World as a “Free2Play” title would finally bring a turnaround. After all, the release was still planned for 2018. Surely, all the players from Battle Royale would then recognize how great the PvE mode was and switch over.

But this Free2Play release was first postponed and then completely canceled. Because in the summer of 2020 came the news:

  • The development of “Fortnite: Save the World” is now complete.
  • The game is now officially released, no longer in Early Access.
  • A “Free2Play” version will never exist.
  • The game will now also be developed more slowly than before, which sounded quite cynical: Because the game had been virtually neglected by Epic Games for years in the eyes of fans.
Fortnite-TWitch-DJF.v1
The news was a shock for fans of Fortnite: Save the World in 2020.

Epic removes “Save the World” from the main launcher

Here’s the new news: With the latest patch 19.30 in Fortnite, “Save the World” is now being degraded once more.

The whole time, it was still the case that players could choose when logging into Fortnite whether they wanted to log into “Save the World”, “Battle Royale”, or the “Create your World” mode. This is changing now: Starting today, players will automatically join the “Battle Royale” mode.

Save the World has now been downgraded to a mode that must be selected through its own submenu.

Ouch – no longer an independent game.

$250 paid for “Sub-mode of a Free2Play” game

This is the discussion: On reddit, the remaining players complain once again about their fate. They now say:

  • This is what we are to Epic. Instead of a “$40” game, we are now just a game mode.
  • A player then asks in essence: “What do you mean $40? I paid $250 for the Ultimate Edition back then.”
  • Another player says: “A €40 game should not become a playlist in a Free2Play mode.”

In 2019, we reported how Epic Games dealt a blow to the hopes of PvE fans:

Dying Light 2: Unlocking the Grappling Hook with 3 Tips on How to Use It Right

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

One of the most useful tools in Dying Light 2 is the grappling hook. Unfortunately, you get this tool quite late in the game. MeinMMO explains how you can obtain the tool and how to use it best.

What is the grappling hook? You can attach the tool to certain surfaces by throwing a hook connected to a rope. You then use this rope to swing and make long jumps.

The grappling hook has no effect on enemies; you can only target surfaces. These are marked by a display when you have equipped the grappling hook. However, you need stamina to use it and gain momentum, just like with the paraglider or the secret flying broom.

How do I get the grappling hook? During the mission “Transmission,” you unlock the hook. The mission is one of the last story missions of the game, and you will reach it likely after approximately 10 to 15 hours, depending on how much you focus on the story or other content.

At the end of the mission, you are given the grappling hook so that you can use it to climb a building. From then on, you have access to the tool and can use or upgrade it throughout the city.

Tips for the grappling hook – Fast and safely through the city

Why do I even need the grappling hook? Without the tool, you will not be able to reach certain buildings in Dying Light 2. With the grappling hook, more secrets of the game become available to you, such as some safes with special loot.

Remember to upgrade the hook with a master craftsman. Only then can you fully unleash its potential. We have some tips for you on how to use the grappling hook best.

More about Dying Light 2 on MeinMMO:

1. Use the hook in free fall and prevent your death

When you are above the rooftops of Villedor, it can happen that you misjudge your jump from one house to another. This can often end fatally if you fall too deep or plunge into a horde of zombies.

With the grappling hook, you can prevent that. Throw it in a free fall towards the nearest surface above you to cushion your fall. You can even pull yourself directly to safety or use the swing to quickly take another route.

This does require some practice and good timing – but for emergencies, it is a good way to evade death. You can find more tips here:

More on the topic
Dying Light 2: Falling deep without dying – How to prevent deaths while parkouring
von Benedict Grothaus

2. Move faster through the city

The main area of application for the grappling hook is the swing on the attached rope. With this, you can explore previously unreachable places by swinging happily through the city.

However, an advanced method of moving is to combine it with the paraglider. If you are not making progress with the glider, you can drop a bit and swing forward at the next surface.

Thanks to the speed of the fall and the swing, you can redeploy the paraglider after letting go and continue gliding through the air.

By the way, when you use the hook while running, you also get a small speed boost. Although it’s minimal and not worth mentioning, it can save your life during a chase with good timing.

3. Defeat enemies with new moves and more tricks

The grappling hook cannot target enemies, but it can target explosive gas canisters. You can simply pull them to you and then comfortably throw them at enemies. This is especially useful if you would otherwise get detected or if you find yourself in a precarious situation. reddit user vulturevan shows in the clip how that looks:

Additionally, you can use the swing with the grappling hook to execute jump kicks. These are similarly powerful to the completely exaggerated dropkick, and you can kick entire groups of enemies off rooftops or into traps.

The grappling hook is versatile and one of the most important tools in the game. Especially if you want to see everything in Dying Light 2. Let us know how you like to use it and what tips you have!

With the grappling hook, you can secure your survival in Dying Light 2. But that’s not really the biggest problem, finds MeinMMO author Tarek Zehrer:

SWTOR: The expansion Legacy of the Sith is here – Everything about release, time and story

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 5 minutes

In February 2022, the latest expansion for the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic will be released. The Legacy of the Sith continues the story around Darth Malgus and brings some new content. We at MeinMMO summarize everything important for you.

Update February 15: Currently, the SWTOR servers are down. A new trailer for the expansion will also be released at 5:00 PM.

Update February 13: The exact time for the release is now set. The Legacy of the Sith will be released at 7:00 PM German time. Prior to that, there will be maintenance lasting 6 hours (via Twitter).

What does the Legacy of the Sith expansion bring?

The new update 7.0 brings the following innovations:
– The max level is raised from 75 to 80
– New story content, including on the planet Manaan
– The new Flashpoint ‘Ruins of a Sith Fortress’
– A revision of the drops to almost completely eliminate randomness
– The introduction of legendary gear
– A revision of the class combat styles
– The operation R-4 Anomaly, which will be released shortly after the expansion starts with patch 7.1
– New events and updates that are expected throughout the year after the expansion launches

When will Legacy of the Sith be released?

The new expansion will be released on February 15, 2022. There will be a downtime from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM, after which the expansion is expected to go online. The release was postponed after it was originally planned for December 2021.

How much does the expansion cost?

The expansion is completely free for SWTOR subscribers. However, if you are not a subscriber, you cannot play. Typically, one month should be sufficient to see most of the content, so you should plan for 12.99 euros for it.

Can the expansion be tested already?

Yes, many of the new features are already playable on the PTR, although some story content will be held back until the final release comes.

Story and Flashpoint of Legacy of the Sith

What is the story about? Players can look forward to a continuation of the story from Onslaught. The expansion takes place on Manaan, a water planet. The Sith Empire is trying to seize control of the Kolto deposits and occupies the planet.

The story unfolds somewhat differently, depending on whether you represent the Republic or the Empire. After completing the story, you will unlock a new operations base and daily missions.

Although Manaan is a water planet, all activities will take place on land. There will still be no swimming mechanics in SWTOR.

What happens in the Flashpoint? The new Flashpoint ‘Ruins of a Sith Fortress’ continues the story around Darth Malgus. He is rumored to be hunting ancient relics on the planet Elom. That is exactly where your journey will take you.

Flashpoints are akin to the dungeons of SWTOR. In the story, they can be played solo, but there are harder modes where you will rely on other players.

SWTOR Manaan
On Manaan, there is plenty of water… and even more rain.

Which characters are involved in the story? In the story content, you will encounter some familiar faces from previous updates and expansions, including

  • Tau Idair
  • Major Anri
  • Lana Beniko

Combat Styles for Classes and Changes to the Loot System

What is the deal with the combat styles? The biggest innovation in the Legacy of the Sith pertains to the classes. They will receive the so-called combat styles. This means that at the beginning, you choose a path – Tech or Sith – and then you can freely choose between combat styles (essentially the old classes):

  • Troopers will have access to all kinds of weapons, such as sniper rifles, which was not the case before.
  • All Jedi Knights will access combat styles like Guardian, Sentinel, Sage, or Shadow over time.
  • Sith players can choose between the combat styles Juggernaut, Marauder, Sorcerer, or Assassin.

This is also intended to ensure that your gameplay is no longer bound to a class story.

SWTOR Combat Styles
A trooper will now have access to all Tech classes.

What changes are there to the loot? A further significant innovation in Legacy of the Sith concerns the loot. It will no longer depend on randomness:

  • New gear should no longer be obtained by drops, but through quests, weekly missions, the group finder, or directly through PvP.
  • Bosses will drop a currency that you can use to buy new gear.
  • Fame and random drops will be removed with patch 7.0.
  • However, there will still be random rewards and vanity items as random drops.

Operation R-4 Anomaly with Patch 7.1

Operations are akin to raids in SWTOR. They are more challenging and require groups of 8 or 16 players. The new operation in Legacy of the Sith is called R-4 Anomaly and is expected to be released with patch 7.1. The challenging master mode will be released sometime in 2022.

In the story, a shady Sith cult is gathering technologies to create a terrible weapon.

This must be prevented, no matter whether you are playing on the side of the Empire or the Republic.

SWTOR Anomaly
Spooky locations like this operation will also be part of Legacy of the Sith.

Galactic Season 2: Shadows of the Underworld

Along with the new expansion, the second season in SWTOR will also start. This will bring some cosmetic rewards from the Shadows Syndicate. Also included is a companion from the species Duros.

The seasons themselves were introduced with patch 6.3 in March 2021 and were very well received. There are a total of 100 reward tiers, and you can complete them by mastering daily and weekly challenges.

Anyone with a subscription will automatically unlock the pass, so there are no additional costs. Furthermore, you can catch up to the “average” with in-game currency if you start the pass later.

PvP, further improvements and plans for the time after the release

What new features are there for PvP? So far, no adjustments for PvP have been announced.

What smaller updates are there? With Legacy of the Sith, some small adjustments will be made, including:

  • A new character creation
  • Adjustments to the UI and inventory to modernize the user interface
  • Conquests will yield fewer credits
  • Incomplete daily and weekly quests will disappear when the reset occurs

What happens after the release? The developers plan new story updates, further adjustments to the UI, more seasons, and new flashpoints for the period after the Legacy of the Sith.

In general, there will be some events throughout the year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of SWTOR. The developers also revealed that there is a plan for at least another 10 years.

SWTOR celebrated its release on Steam in 2020. Since then, it has been one of the most popular MMORPGs. We have compiled the games with the best ratings for you:

CoD Warzone: All 7 Bunker Locations on Caldera – Here you’ll find the finest loot

Marko Jevtic Marko Jevtic Reading time 4 minutes

With the launch of Season 2 in Call of Duty: Warzone there are new secret bunkers that you can discover and enter on Caldera. We will tell you where to find them.

At the start of Season 2 of Warzone, 7 secret bunkers are hidden on Caldera. These are roughly marked on the map with a yellow ring. They are still not easy to find.

In each bunker, besides AI-controlled enemies (who do not offer real resistance) and story secrets, you can find some good loot. Alongside rare weapons, important field equipment, and many killstreaks, you’ll also frequently find the new gas ammunition.

[toc]

We will tell you where to find all the secret bunkers. We list them clockwise, starting with the northernmost bunker at the docks.

Additionally, we will also tell you the map quadrant where you can find the bunkers. You can read the quadrant from the letters and numbers that border the map.

The entrance at the docks is quite easy to find. Look in quadrant F1 for the green observation tower, the bunker is slightly east of it.

CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Runway

The bunker at Runway hides behind a door in a building at I2. Look for a building that somewhat resembles a square bracket on the map. The door is at the northern end of the building.

In quadrant I2, you can find the Runway bunker behind a door in the building

CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Fields

The bunker in Fields hides slightly behind 2 blue-gray water towers in quadrant F5.

The bunker in Fields is located in quadrant F5, next to 2 water towers (pay attention to the marking on the map image, not the player position)

CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Resort

The secret bunker at Resort is easy to find, as the hill is well recognizable on the map. Look for the bunker slightly north of the C-shaped water gathering in H7.

The bunker at Resort is on a hill in quadrant H7

CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Power Plant

The most cunningly hidden bunker is the one at Power Plant. Look for 2 waterfalls in quadrant E8. Walk through the left of the two waterfalls – the bunker hides in a small cave behind it.

CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Lagoon

The bunker at Lagoon does not try to stay hidden. You can find it by a hut in C6.

CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Mines

The yellow circle at Mines is somewhat misleading – the bunker hides on a hill in quadrant D3, south of the hut in the yellow bunker marking.

Almost only sexy equipment in Lost Ark for women – This confuses some

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

In Lost Ark, female characters have a rather limited selection of clothing styles. (Long) pants are hard to come by, high-heeled shoes are the norm, and clothing often covers only a fraction of the body. Additionally, some very strange animations and a gender lock are present. All of this irritates and amuses some fans of the action MMO.

What is Lost Ark? Lost Ark is an action RPG MMO from South Korea. The game launched in our country after a long wait on February 11, 2022. However, as much joy as Lost Ark brings its players, some gamers complain about the design decisions made for the female heroes.

What is the problem with the female designs? Looking at the female characters in Lost Ark, it quickly becomes apparent that they wear very little. While male characters wear heavy armor and go into battle well-equipped, the women predominantly wear revealing clothing, high-heeled shoes, and exhibit strange animations.

“Aren’t there any real pants for my heroine?”

Here are some specific examples: Various examples can be found online where otherwise satisfied Lost Ark players express their surprise at what they perceive as the exaggerated sexiness of the female characters in the game.

Players notice that – the higher the armor stats are, the less of the body is covered for female heroes. For instance, according to a Twitter user, her heroine initially wore leggings as leg “armor” at the start. Now, it’s only high boots, a belt, and a thong.

https://twitter.com/shrcksu/status/1492160356763983875

It is “really hard to recommend a game when the first armor upgrade could fit into a sex film.”

Other players complain about the lack of (real) pants for women. This is particularly noticeable for the Gunslinger class, as this lady seems to only wear hotpants. An author from the site RockPaperShotgun writes about how much fun she has with her Gunslinger in the game but that even after a long grind she has still not found proper pants for her heroine.

Lost Ark Kunstschützin Attribute
Those who dislike hotpants will not be happy with the Gunslinger class.

She stated that she has nothing against sexy outfits, but if there are really no alternatives, that would be quite ridiculous. Especially the otherwise serious cutscenes would be completely ridiculous when a character appears who looks like she just stepped out of an “erotic salon with a steampunk cowboy theme.”

The lack of other pants besides hotpants has also been noticed by other users on Twitter.

I really enjoy the fights in Lost Ark. ARPGs are usually not my thing, but here it feels dynamic and flashy in a way that makes me addictive. I just wish the story were interesting. Or that I could find gear for my Gunslinger that doesn’t consist of just shorts and high heels.

Many users seem to have nothing against sexy outfits in the game per se. It would just be nice to have alternatives. Additionally, a further Twitter comment:

Okay, Lost Ark, you have your design philosophy and stick to it. I can respect that to some extent. But [please bring] just one female class that doesn’t wear high heels and runs with knees and elbows covered. Just one.

This is what the animations look like: The problem with the animations has been brought up by another streamer and Twitter user. She can no longer take her heroine seriously after seeing the strange fluttering movements with which her avatar dances through the foliage. To emphasize the absurdity of these animations, she mimics this style live on stream shortly thereafter.

Are the women in Lost Ark too sexy? Top streamer Asmongold says: “Oh, just be quiet all of you”
von Jürgen Horn

Are there other voices? Indeed, many players do not share this view. For instance, it is debated on reddit that Lost Ark is notably a game from Asia, and such designs are common there. Also, many players apparently enjoy heroines who wear little.

Another annoyance for some Lost Ark players is the current strict gender lock, which only allows many classes to be represented by one gender. Heavily armored classes, such as the Paladin, are exclusively male, while female heroines usually embody agile and magical classes.

However, the developers want to at least provide relief here and gradually insert female counterparts of Paladin and others. It remains to be seen what their armor will look like.

What is the cheapest way to play Lost Ark if you don’t have a gaming PC?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 4 minutes

You really want to Lost Ark to play, but you don’t have a gaming PC? MeinMMO presents you with the cheapest options if you want to play Lost Ark but don’t have a gaming PC and don’t want to buy one.

What is Lost Ark? Lost Ark is currently the most successful MMORPG on Steam. The gameplay is very similar to Diablo III, but it offers a real MMORPG experience with dungeons, raids, and PvP elements.

Lost Ark is a massive success on Steam with over 1 million players at the same time. Due to its great success, many users now want to start playing the MMORPG Lost Ark.

Where can you play Lost Ark? You can currently only play Lost Ark on PC, with Lost Ark on PS5 or Xbox Series X looking grim for now. But what if you don’t own a gaming PC or don’t want to buy new hardware? MeinMMO presents you with some alternatives.

Shadow

What is Shadow? Shadow is a cloud service. Unlike GeForce Now or other streaming providers like Google Stadia, you stream a complete Windows PC with desktop here. You can use Shadow like a real PC: You are working and gaming all the time on a virtual desktop. Shadow itself has explained that only you can see what you are doing on the desktop and that the provider has no access to your digital computer.

Where can you use Shadow? You can use Shadow on your Windows PC as well as on Android, iOS, and even under Linux.

What does Shadow cost? You cannot use the cloud service Shadow for free, and there is also no free trial. The subscription price is 29.99 per month. There is no cheaper option, and there is no way to save money with a longer subscription.

This is what you need for Shadow: The provider recommends an internet speed of at least 15 Mbit/s to use Shadow properly. Thus, the requirements for Shadow are at the same level as GeForce Now.

GeForce Now

What is GeForce Now? GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service that allows you to play your games in the cloud. You can stream your own games from Steam, Uplay, and others. There is both a free and a paid model.

Note: Nvidia already lists GeForce Now as a supported title, but you cannot play the game yet. According to a blog post, it can take between 15 days and 2 months for the game to be available on GeForce Now.

Where can you use GeForce Now? You can stream your games on both a computer and mobile devices like a smartphone. There is already a suitable app for Android in the AppStore. As an iOS user, you can currently only use GeForce Now in the Safari browser as a mobile option.

GeForce Now - Game Streaming by Nvidia

What does GeForce Now cost? GeForce Now is available in three different subscription models. In the basic model, you pay nothing, but you also have to live with certain limitations. For instance, you can play for a maximum of one hour at a time before you need to reconnect. In the other models, you have to pay money. In the following table, you can see Nvidia’s three models:

FreePriorityRTX 3080
HardwareBasic RigPremium Rig with RaytracingGeForce RTX 3080 with Raytracing
AccessStandard access to gaming sessionsPreferred access to premium serversAccess to RTX 3080 servers
Session Duration1 hour6 hours8 hours
PriceFree9.99 Euro/month99.99 Euro / 6 months

This is what you need for GeForce Now: GeForce NOW requires at least 15 Mbit/s for 720p at 60 FPS and 25 Mbit/s for 1080p at 60 FPS. Without a sufficiently fast internet connection, GeForce Now does not function.

Depending on which device you play with, you also need a recommended controller. Mobile controllers like the Razer Kishi would also be an alternative if you want to play on your smartphone.

If you want to stream at 1440p and with RTX 3080, you need at least 35 Mbit/s. How well online games and MMORPGs run on GeForce Now has been tested by MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch for you.

Other alternatives if you want to play Lost Ark

What other alternatives are there? Apart from GeForce Now and Shadow, there are other streaming providers. So far, however, none of them support Lost Ark:

  • Another provider would be Playkey. Here you can also stream your games from Steam, Uplay, and others without needing special hardware.
  • Netboom is a service that you can only use in the browser. Here, too, you stream your own games from Steam.

And what if you don’t want to stream? If you are not in the mood for streaming, the alternatives currently look quite poor. At least many users hope that they can eventually play the MMORPG Lost Ark on the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck is a handheld console on which you can comfortably play Steam games on the couch.

However, there are still some hurdles to overcome before you can play Lost Ark on the Steam Deck. MeinMMO explains how likely Lost Ark will be available on the Steam Deck:

Magic prohibits brazen NFT project that calls real cards an “unsafe investment”

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Wizards of the Coast are the developers of the popular card game “Magic: The Gathering”. They have issued a cease and desist against an NFT project called “MtgDAO”. They say the project is clearly a violation of their copyrights.

What kind of project is this? It’s not that easy to see through.

The idea of “mtgDAO” is apparently to create its own Magic format, in which games can only be played with “permitted” cards. Players are to own the actual card in the real world and additionally acquire a self-created NFT of the card, in order to play the game “legally”.

By issuing its own NFTs, mtgDAO wants to further restrict the availability of the cards and maintain stable prices.

The function of mtgDAO would then be to provide players with a kind of “ticket” that allows them to participate in tournaments.

von Tarek Zehrer

NFT Makers: Investment in real card is hard to justify

What is bizarre about the project? The creators of the NFT criticize the card game in a whitepaper for being “an insecure investment” (via mtgdao).

It says:

It is hard to justify investing significant money in individual cards when the value of a card can constantly change. The truth is that individual cards are an unpredictable investment – many lose value.

mtgDAO

It is then explained that the price ultimately depends on how many cards the creators print. Even if the creators promise not to print certain cards anymore, they still have the option to simply release a similar or even better card.

The criticism of cards as “insecure investments” is particularly bizarre because NFTs are considered by many to be completely “insecure investments”, which fluctuate extremely in price or even drop to zero. The mtgDAO project wants to ensure stable prices through a restriction of the card.

Developers praise enthusiasm, but forbid project nonetheless

What Magic is doing: They have hired a law firm to deliver a cease and desist letter to the creators of “mtgDAO”.

It is said that the enthusiasm is obviously great and impressive – the developers are also impressed by the work on the format, but… unfortunately, unfortunately, the project would still violate copyright.

Moreover, Wizards of the Coast is currently considering entering the NFT space themselves. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to associate NFTs with the company’s brands.

As fans of Magic, the NFT creators should surely understand this.

The cease and desist letter has fluttered in.

NFT developers call Magic makers “reactionary”

This is how the NFT creators respond: Quite annoyed. On Twitter, it now says that this letter suggests that the NFT projects from Wizards of the Coast would likely fail. Many gamers are against NFTs. They see them as “empty status symbols” that only show how much money someone can spend.

There are much better ways for the creators of Magic to profit from the new rules of the market, such as with the model of mtgDAO. The position of Wizards of the Coast is retrogressive, and they now want to send them an email to show that something like mtgDAO is a good opportunity and not a threat.

Many gamers do indeed view NFTs critically. Some game designers have already questioned the model strongly:

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Smogon and more XP

Mark Sellner Mark Sellner Reading time 2 minutes

In the mobile game Pokémon GO, the Spotlight Hour with the Pokémon Smogon starts today, on February 15th. There is a bonus for more experience when catching pocket monsters. We will show you the details of the event, start and end times.

What kind of event is this? Usually, a so-called Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO starts on Tuesday evenings. During this time, you will have a selected Pokémon focused in the event for 60 minutes. This means you will find the pocket monster nearly everywhere in the wild.

The Spotlight Hour is accompanied by a bonus on the catch XP of Pokémon, which makes the event even more exciting, even if you don’t necessarily need the Pokémon.

In this article, we will show you what to expect this evening, on February 15th, and for whom it is worthwhile.

Spotlight Hour with Smogon – Start, Shiny and Bonuses

When does the event start? The Spotlight Hour begins today, on February 15th, at 6:00 PM local time. You can then play the event for an hour until it ends exactly at 7:00 PM.

These are the bonuses: During the Spotlight Hour, today’s event Pokémon Smogon spawns in almost every corner of the wild. If you want to improve your catch, you can also light a incense.

This incense and lure modules will also attract correspondingly more Smogon. So if you still need the Pokémon, you should turn on the incense.

As an additional bonus, you’ll earn more XP when catching Pokémon. This means that even if you don’t need Smogon, you can level up well by taking advantage of the Spotlight Hour.

Is there Shiny Smogon? Smogon is available in Pokémon GO in its Shiny variant as well. If you need the poison-type pocket monster in its shiny form, the Spotlight Hour is worth it for you.

This is what the shiny versions of the Pokémon look like.

Is the Spotlight Hour with Smogon worth it?

For whom is it worthwhile? Smogon and its evolution Smogmog are neither particularly strong in PvP (Trainer Battles) nor in PvE like Raids. In the Super and Hyper League, you can use the Pokémon, but there are definitely stronger alternatives for this Pokémon.

However, the catch XP bonus is something you should definitely take advantage of if you are not yet level 50. You can gather a lot of experience if you have enough Pokéballs. 

More about Pokémon GO on MeinMMO

What do you think about the Spotlight Hour with Smogon? Do you still need the Pokémon, or would you have preferred a different pocket monster for the event? Have you already caught a shiny Smogon or do you want to get it during the Spotlight Hour? Feel free to let us know in the comments on MeinMMO.

All Spotlight Hours in February and their bonuses will be shown on MeinMMO.

3 things you should do in WoW before patch 9.2

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Patch 9.2 in World of Warcraft is almost here. We’ll tell you what you need to do to be perfectly prepared.

The next big patch of World of Warcraft is finally on the way. The Update 9.2 Eternity’s End will be the final major patch of Shadowlands.

The patch brings a new area and a big raid where WoW fans can let loose. But to be ready for the launch of the patch on February 23, 2022, you should make a few preparations now. We’ll tell you what you should do in the remaining days.

1. Reach Renown Level 80 in All Covenants

Farming renown in the covenants is certainly not for everyone. Some were already fed up after reaching the maximum renown level with their first covenant. However, it is worth switching covenants at least with your main characters and approaching renown level 80 – if you haven’t done so already.

The reason is that with patch 9.2, the class balance will be overhauled. New tier sets and more legendary items will ensure that a previously neglected covenant might be the best option in PvE or PvP.

It would be particularly annoying if, after the launch of patch 9.2, you have to spend many hours leveling a covenant. So it makes sense to get this done now so you can fully focus on Zereth Mortis and the other new content in Eternity’s End.

wow renown nightfae
If your renown is not at maximum yet, you should urgently catch up.

2. Farm Torghast for More Legendaries

Many players are fed up with Torghast, but a detour there can still be worth it. The reason is that most characters will still need soul ash and soul cinders in patch 9.2 to craft legendary items. While this isn’t necessary for upgrading from rank 6 to rank 7 – it is quite relevant for the previous ranks.

Keep in mind that in patch 9.2 you may need to recraft some legendary items to fill the perfect equipment slot for them. It may also be that what legendary proves to be particularly effective changes – after all, you’ll soon be able to wear 2 of them at the same time, which will shake up the priorities big time.

WoW Torghast Yawn title titel 1280x720
Back to Torghast – only for those who still need resources.

But don’t worry, you can combine two activities here easily. If you still need to farm renown, just do it in Torghast to kill two birds with one stone.

Also important: In patch 9.2 you can send soul cinders and soul ash to second characters. So you can already farm the resources with the character that gives you the most fun in Torghast.

While there are new layers in Torghast in patch 9.2 that also bring a new resource – this can also be gathered in many other activities. A “Torghast obligation” only exists if you have no soul ash or soul cinders to craft the legendary items.

More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:

3. Stockpile Crafting Materials

Unlike many other big patches in World of Warcraft, the previous crafting materials from Shadowlands will not be devalued. While there are new materials for almost all crafting professions, the basic “consumables” will change little.

You will still consume the same potions, use the same sharpening stones, and basically throw the same buff food, even if there are a few cool innovations.

WoW Alchemy night elf cheer potions title 1140x445
A large supply of potions will save a lot of money later when prices explode.

So it can be worthwhile to stock up your bank (or the guild bank) with resources now and have the alchemist refresh the potion supplies.

Because in patch 9.2 many players will return and stock up on consumables, which will drive prices up in the auction house. Having a solid supply can turn out to be worthwhile.

Do you have any other tips for what players should definitely do before patch 9.2? What would you do before the update hits?

Buy PS5: You should definitely pay attention to Müller now if you want to buy a console

Maximilian Maximilian Reading time 2 minutes

The PS5 has not been sold for several weeks now. Müller may presumably have some in stock soon.

Update February 15, 15:00: Presumably, those were just a few returns or cancellations from earlier today.
In general, it is unfortunately the case that the whole “drop” today did not go smoothly at all. The rush was really huge, the quota tiny, and the technical problems considerable.
While this is unfortunately not uncommon for Müller; today it was particularly difficult to get the coveted console.
Another sign that the demand is currently going through the roof due to the current PS5 drought.

Today, only the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition was sold at Müller – the Disc version or any bundles were not available.

Update February 15, 14:11: Sit seems that something is happening at Müller again!

Update February 15, 13:20: What a strange “drop” was that? Around 12:22, the queue was opened, but due to a significantly high surge of PS5 hunters, there were quickly severe technical problems. In social media, various reports and varying estimates about how large the sold quota was can currently be seen. However, it seems clear that it was at best a smaller four-digit number.

Update: February 15, 12:45: Or maybe not? On social media, a few users report that they managed to get through the typical queue for Müller; while others only see error messages. We are definitely keeping an eye on this for you!

Update February 15, 12:22: It seems that the drop is about to start.

Currently, more and more indications are piling up that Müller could soon sell the PlayStation 5.
Apparently, the drugstore chain will soon receive a PS5 restock. Although the product pages still state that no quotas are available, whoever selects a store nearby is given an approximate pickup date; depending on the store, everything between 17.02. and 21.02. is included. Therefore, the likelihood is quite high that we can expect a drop at Müller soon.

Therefore, the likelihood is high that we can expect a drop at Müller soon. Unfortunately, it is not yet known when exactly. In the past, the retailer has always worked with a queue. As soon as it is opened, we will of course inform you immediately.

New players no longer understand Destiny 2 – Here’s how it’s going to get easier now

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 4 minutes

For those who wanted to get into Destiny 2 and played for the first time, they had to study many guides to understand where to find what. With Witch Queen, Bungie aims to solve this problem and make it easier for new players to get into the game. MeinMMO looked at the planned changes.

In recent years, Destiny 2 has often focused on the experience for long-time players. Witch Queen also offers content through the legendary campaigns that is initially only interesting for experienced players.

However, Bungie has also announced a significant overhaul of the experience for new New-Light players for the upcoming expansion. Something that many players have seen as long overdue.

The universe is vast and nothing in it is simple: For New-Light players, it is currently still a significant hurdle to get into the game and especially to fully understand the story afterwards. The use of abilities during onboarding in Destiny 2 is not easy either. The complexity and the lack of explanations for it could quickly overwhelm new players when starting the game.

  • A large number of abilities, aspects, and fragments
  • Many armor mods interact with ability mechanics.
  • New players hardly use their own builds and rarely the diverse mods
  • The story in missions is often disconnected and hard to follow for beginners
Witch Queen might be the last chance to understand the universe

Destiny fans have stepped in for Bungie: This obvious gap has been filled in recent years by long-time Destiny fans. Clan leaders, YouTubers, veterans of Destiny 1 and 2. Basically, all those who know the full story of Destiny have stepped in for Bungie and helped new lights understand mechanics, story, and builds.

MeinMMO also highlighted this problem of new players back in October 2021:

More on the topic
Destiny 2 is a real problem for new players and the Content Vault is to blame
von Britta ♤ BeAngel

This is supposed to change with Witch Queen now: As Blake Battle, Project Lead at Bungie, reported to MeinMMO, this is “definitely a challenge” for the developer. They have been aware for some time that “the breadth and depth of a constantly evolving world can often come at the cost of complexity.” This may also have been the reason why Bungie is now overhauling the experience for new players.

This is the first mission of every new guardian

New introductory campaign soon explains important abilities

Currently, the New Light experience and the target area “Cosmodrome” is where Bungie introduces its primary onboarding mechanisms for new players. There, new players learn the basics of gameplay and the processes within Destiny 2.

New onboarding campaign starting February 22: For Witch Queen, Bungie will add an updated onboarding process. Players are expected to learn not only the new subclasses of the Void 3.0 update but also the Stasis subclasses.

  • Players learn the first aspects and fragments in the “New Light” campaign
  • The following “Schisma” mission contains the quest “Learning Light,” which teaches them the application of subclass abilities.
  • Additional aspects and fragments can be unlocked by visiting Ikora Rey in the Tower.

Previously, the different characters, Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks, started with different abilities (Hunter Solar, Warlocks Void, Titans Arc). This will also change with Witch Queen. All classes will uniformly start with Void subclass abilities.

The story is explained in-game via a timeline

New players in Destiny 2 also recently gained the option to trace all story elements within the game.

The timeline provides a compact overview of the story: Bungie has set up a timeline on the central map. Interested players can see, trace, and also chronologically categorize the various events in the history.

While this is indeed a rather compact overview of all content since the awakening of the Traveler, it is at least a step towards further improving the experience for new players. It is also not excluded that the overview might even be expanded further.

The timeline can be viewed in the game

Interactive trailers take players back in time: For Witch Queen, Bungie has additionally improved how the past of Destiny 1 and 2 is presented. Recently, an interactive trailer was released that excitingly summarizes story content related to Witch Queen.

What awaits you in Witch Queen: If you are still unsure whether entering Destiny 2: Witch Queen is worth it for you, we have a short video summary of the new content for you:

Bungie’s project leader Blake Battle summarized this to MeinMMO:

The Witch Queen marks the seventh year of Destiny expansions and unravels narrative threads that date back to the first Destiny and The Taken King. The narrative themes addressed in the [Witch Queen] release are at the core of Destiny, and they have been written and structured in a way that we believe provides excellent narrative onboarding for new players.

His most important recommendation to interested players is therefore:

For an MMO or FPS player interested in Destiny, my main advice would be to play the Witch Queen campaign.

One day after the “Season 2” update of Call of Duty: Vanguard, the reactions are mostly negative. The mood among fans is partly tense and aggressive, partly players appear dejected and disillusioned. MeinMMO summarizes the reactions.

Thanks to Vanguard, Call of Duty is in the worst state in years. In order to counter this negative trend, Activision and developer Sledgehammer Games have postponed the joint Season 2 for Vanguard and Warzone by weeks.

They wanted to use the time to fix the shooter.

However, even after the delay and a massive amount of new content, Season 2 cannot convince the Vanguard players. The WW2 shooter still suffers from old problems that have not been improved.

CoD Vanguard: Season 2 update brings Bomber killstreak and plenty of zombie content – Patch notes
von Marko Jevtic

“The Season 2 launch has made the game even more broken …”

What are the general reactions? Despite the update’s postponement, the biggest problems of CoD Vanguard continue to persist. But with the patch, new problems also came – some are annoying superficialities like broken skins, while others cause connection issues.

Accordingly, the reactions in the community, which “are losing patience” (via reddit):

  • The FilmMakerGuy writes on reddit: “Does anyone else have the impression that they just stopped caring after New Year’s?”
  • ChiefAnarchy says on reddit: “This has become an insult. The game is a damn mess.”

These problems still exist in the game: Major latency issues and a broken aim assist are reportedly still present in the game (via reddit). Starting games in a group is also still problematic.

Furthermore, the shield meta annoys players due to the lack of weapon balance in the new patch. Additionally, spawns are said to be worse than before. Enemies are starting rounds in the middle of enemy teams (via reddit)

These problems added up: Due to the patch delay, players have only 44 days instead of the usual 56 days to play until Battle Pass Level 100. In Warzone, although 71 days are available for the Battle Pass, the fact that 2 different dates are displayed does not speak well for the update.

Players also report that they cannot progress beyond the main menu (via reddit). Additionally, the Level 100 skin is depicted incorrectly in multiple ways (via reddit).

How are the new contents received? There are still very few opinions about the new Bomber Killstreak, which may be due to the fact that only the best players can use it. The new maps, on the other hand, are being discussed controversially. Casablanca divides the community, while Gondola is being shredded:

  • @iOrdyh writes on Twitter: “I know it’s only the first day, but Casablanca is a top-8 map and Gondola is one of the worst 3 maps in Vanguard.”
  • @EDoggM tweetst: “Casablanca and Gondola are terrible maps!”

More about Call of Duty:

However, the reactions to the new zombie contents, which made up a lion’s share of the Season 2 content, are noticeably negative.

New zombie contents do not convince: “I can’t stand it”

What are the new zombie contents like? Season 2 did bring a lot of new content for zombie fans, but it could not convince the players. The new content is said to be just as bad as the unpopular zombies map ‘The Beginning’, only bigger and a little prettier.

In a new video by YouTuber PrestigeIsKey, one can already see from the video structure how dissatisfied he is with the zombie content. The video titled “Terra Maledicta SUCKS – Zombies need a revival…” lasts 10:50 minutes.

Already after the first 45 seconds, he has formulated all positive thoughts – and spends the rest of the video on the negative. For example, he says: “I hate it so much. I can’t stand it.”

The players agree with this opinion:

  • Pez 7k writes in a comment on the video: “You can’t fix this, Treyarch should just admit they messed it up and leave Vanguard Zombies alone.”
  • @The_Rmxzh tries to capture the mood in a made-up dialogue:

CoD Zombies players: “We hate The Beginning.”
Sledgehammer Games: “All right, hang in there until the next update, guys.”
Also Sledgehammer Games: “We literally reset The Beginning and made you wait a whole season for it, lmao.”

Even if Season 2 can score much better with fans in Warzone – Call of Duty is currently in a difficult situation.

This is not only shown by the reactions to the update in CoD Vanguard. The fact that Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 were announced as early as they were for any Call of Duty before also shows the precarious situation of the shooter giant. Activision recognizes this, openly admitting that they have “screwed up” at the moment:

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 5 minutes

A very comprehensive Season 2 went online at Call of Duty: Warzone and changed many of the top weapons in the Battle Royale. MeinMMO shows you 5 alternatives so you won’t miss the Bren, MP40, and others.

The new Season 2 is online in the free Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone. In addition to new content, there were also a lot of balance adjustments – in gameplay as well as weapons. Particularly the most popular weapons have been nerfed:

  • Bren – LMG for range
  • MP40 – All-round close combat fighter
  • STG 44 – First and easy Vanguard assault rifle
  • C58 – Old overachiever from Cold War
  • Cooper Carbine – Breakout of Season 1

How the comprehensive changes will impact the game after the dust has settled remains to be seen.

However, with these 5 weapons here in our list, you don’t have to worry about standing empty-handed in CoD Warzone after the season starts. Tips for leveling weapons in Season 2 can be found here:

BAR – No Compromises in Recoil

What makes the BAR strong? If you’re looking for an alternative for range, the BAR from Vanguard comes to mind.

In terms of damage, the assault rifle is in the middle tier, but you won’t have to worry too much about control – the thing is very stable.

If a shot goes astray, the time-to-kill increases due to low fire rate significantly. However, the low recoil promises a high hit rate. The new assault rifle KG M40 is also quite stable.

CoD Warzone: BAR Setup

  • Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
  • Barrel: CGC 30″ XL
  • Optic: 1913 Variable Scope 4-8x
  • Stock: Chariot WR
  • Underbarrel: M3 Ready Grip
  • Magazine: .50 BMG 30 Round Magazine

Note: The ammunition attachment ‘Lengthened’ now only increases bullet velocity by 10% instead of 30%, but the barrel is now much stronger at this value. So, feel free to experiment with different ammunition attachments.

Owen Gun – The new MP40?

What makes the Owen Gun strong? The submachine gun had already been climbing the popularity scale slowly before the Season 2 update and is now hoping for its breakthrough.

The close combat weapon is very stable, and if necessary, you can also achieve long-range kills with it. This makes it very valuable as sniper support.

Damage, movement, range – the Owen Gun can impress with many strong values and could really take off in Season 2.

CoD Warzone: Owen Gun Setup

Note: The ‘Incendiary’ ammunition has also been heavily nerfed, causing generally less damage and even reducing the weapon’s damage. Feel free to experiment with different ammunition attachments here as well.

Grau 5.56 – An Old Familiar

What makes the Grau 5.56 strong? A classic of Warzone celebrated its first successes in Season 1 and is now even more in focus after the nerfs in Season 2: Grau 5.56.

The weapon was the summer hit of Warzone after release, shines with high stability, and has one of the best iron sights in CoD history (iron sight).

Dig the weapon out of the cupboard again and show the holiday island Caldera why the assault rifle was so popular in Verdansk.

LAPA – Old School Submachine Gun

What makes the LAPA strong? The SMG was already a hidden gem in Season 1 and now has the chance for a leading role.

The damage is right and the range is decent. The LAPA really shines in movement – as a weapon from Black Ops Cold War, it has certain advantages here.

As a bonus, you get strong damage on limbs. This is especially helpful when close combat gets a bit chaotic.

XM4 – The Indestructible

What makes the XM4 strong? Among the assault rifles on the list, the XM4 delivers the highest damage on chest hits while remaining calm. Here, recoil is not a major issue.

In the end, though, you often have to decide: low recoil or higher damage.

  • BAR: Almost only visual recoil – low damage
  • Grau: Slight recoil – moderate damage
  • XM4: Good recoil – slightly better damage

If you want even more damage, go for the AK-47 from Cold War. The weapon still ranks high in damage among assault rifles but comes with noticeable recoil.

Game designer is looking for his game the way fans want it – Explains why that is a really bad idea

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

A developer from Riot Games, the creators of League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, now explains why game devs shouldn’t strive to be among the best in their games, even if fans keep demanding it.

This is the demand of many fans: In gaming, there is often the demand or criticism from fans:

“Are the developers even playing their own game properly?”

They demand: A game designer should actually play a game themselves at the highest level, to truly “understand” and relate to the players.

In MMOs like New World, it’s said: Yes, of course our game is that lame. The developers have absolutely no idea about the endgame!

If it were up to the fans, a designer would have to grind as hard as they do, go through a tough rank ascent and grind their way up. Only then would they have “real knowledge” and be able to make the “right decisions” in game design and balance.

Riot employee suffers 300 hours to reach the highest rank

This is the experiment: Riot Mort is the lead designer of the tactics game Teamfight Tactics. He has actually done what fans expect from a lead designer: He played so hard in a new season that he became one of the top 250 players in his region.

He says he did this to prove he can. He read how developers were often insulted for supposedly having no idea.

It is then said that they are “only Diamond”; that they belong to only the top 4% and therefore have absolutely no idea. Riot Mort has read such statements and attacks repeatedly, not just in LoL and TFT but also in many other games that are played competitively and with ambition.

Teamfight-Tactics-Scarra
In Teamfight Tactics, the champs from LoL compete against each other in a different way.

Chief designer says after 70 hours TFT the week he was close to burnout

This is what the developer says after the experiment: Riot Mort says that after he played as hard as some fans expect him to, he has concluded that he will never do this again.

The reason is: To be among the top 250, the developer had to complete about 400 games in 2 months. This amounted to 300 hours in 8 weeks. Since he couldn’t just play during working hours, there were an additional 25-30 hours of TFT each week on top of his work hours.

Ultimately, he thus had a 70-hour week for 2 months, during which he only focused on TFT. This inevitably led to burnout.

Furthermore, during this time he could no longer play freely, but only followed the “best way to win.” He no longer learned anything, but just played his pattern down.

He asks the fans: How should devs play their game?

  • Should they grind the ladder and play as guides tell them, practice known combos and become “one-trick ponies” who only master one champ?
  • Or should they play champs they normally wouldn’t play, to understand their weaknesses – should they play decks that don’t work well at the highest level?

If players truly want a better game, they should hope that the dev plays in the second way. Because during the climb, Riot Mort consciously avoided combinations he didn’t feel comfortable with. He played to win, not to learn – as that should actually be his job.

More exciting articles about Riot Games:

Ultimately, such a “win-optimized” playstyle led him to only care about the people who ground the game as hard as he did at the time. But you can’t develop a game like that, because you have to cater to all people, not just the few elite players.

This “designing a game only for oneself” is a typical mistake beginners make. Experienced developers know that you design for a broad audience, considering as many perspectives and playstyles as possible.

He certainly will not play with such ambition anymore. And he could only play like this because he had the support of his wife, who wanted him to “really show it to the haters.” But if players want developers to really improve the game, then they should let them play as freely and relaxed as they would like themselves.

What changes with Title Update 6 in FIFA 22 – Patch Notes

The new Title Update 6 primarily addresses smaller, frustrating bugs. There are no major gameplay changes that could alter the meta this time.

You can find all changes at EA (via FIFA Forums), here we show you the most important:

Changes in Gameplay:

  • Stepovers and flicks can now only be executed 500 milliseconds after you have flicked a player and selected the direction. The problem was that a skill move made it impossible to select the player’s direction.
  • A bug with “Player Lock” has been fixed, which required it to be executed again.
  • Rarely, shots after a skill move were not precise enough. This has been corrected.
  • After “Player Lock” was activated, you could not switch to the desired player with the right stick.
  • Occasionally, tackles could mistakenly be counted as fouls if the ball touched a certain part of the defender.

You can find more about FIFA 22 on MeinMMO

Changes in Ultimate Team:

  • If a large number of packs were accumulated in the FUT Store, only a small portion of the packs could be displayed.

Changes in Career Mode:

  • Manager interviews did not always affect team morale.
  • The Asian International Cup did not display the correct team from the Indian Super League.

Changes in VOLTA and Pro Clubs:

  • Two new party games are being added to VOLTA Arcade.
  • In VOLTA Arcade, one-button controls will be disabled.
  • A faulty pop-up in Pro Clubs that said the match search had failed has been removed.

Other Changes:

  • Updates for kits, shoes, flags, banners, player pictures, commentary, corner flags, balls, and advertisements.
  • 24 new game faces that will only come into the game with a future server update.

What do you think of the new update? Are there any bugs you would prefer to see fixed? Let us know in the comments!

CoD Vanguard: How to get all Wonder Weapons in Zombie Mode

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

CoD Vanguard receives a new map hub for the Zombie mode called “Terra Maledicta.” It also brings back Wonder Weapons that allow you to effectively take down the zombie hordes.

What are Wonder Weapons? Wonder Weapons are special items noted for their powerful stats and effects, granting players an advantage against the endless hordes of the undead in CoD’s Zombie modes.

Wonder Weapons are iconic items that every zombie fan loves. Players were particularly disappointed with Vanguard because no Wonder Weapons appeared in its Zombie mode, despite the involvement of the original zombie creators from Treyarch.

But now, with Season 2, a new map and two Wonder Weapons have been added to the game. The famous Ray Gun and the brand new “Decimator Shield,” which is called Decimator Shield in the game.

Where can you find which weapons? The Ray Gun can be found as a drop and inside the boxes on both Zombie maps. The Shield, on the other hand, is an Easter egg that can only be found in the new map “Terra Maledicta.”

The Ray Gun – What it can do and where to find it?

What can the Ray Gun do? The Ray Gun is a futuristic ray weapon that deals significant damage and can hit multiple zombies at once. However, it falls a bit short of its capabilities in Vanguard. Nonetheless, it is a powerful weapon with a cool design.

Where can you find it in “The Beginning” and “Terra Maledicta”? You can draw the weapon from the Mystery Box by chance, but this can take a long time and is not recommended. Additionally, you waste valuable resources that you could use for your perks.

To obtain the Ray Gun quickly and reliably, you first need to fully open the map. Complete the first three missions. Then simply run up and down the map and open all the boxes and crystals you find. The chance of getting a Ray Gun this way is quite high.

Also, note that special zombies, like the heavily armed “Storm Warriors,” sometimes drop a Ray Gun. So if you see any, take them down. It might be worth it.

More about CoD Vanguard and Warzone Season 2:

The Decimator Shield – What it can do and where to find it?

What can the Shield do? The eerie Decimator Shield is a kind of living weapon. For the first time, you can block with it and protect yourself from damage. Additionally, the Shield can release a shockwave that massively damages all zombies in the vicinity. But be aware of the high cooldown for this ability.

Where can you find it in “Terra Maledicta”? The Shield is not simply available as loot or box content. Instead, you need to unlock it through an elaborate Easter egg hunt. Do the following:

  • Go east and complete the mission there to unlock the area beyond. You will then see the Shield, but it is trapped in crystals.
  • Then go north and complete the mission there. You will now be deemed worthy to carry the Shield. But there’s still much to do.
  • Next, go to the tents by the green well. There you will find a talking stone that tells you some lore about the Shield.
  • A new portal will then open; use it and complete the mission.
  • Then search the hub for four crystals that you will shoot down.
  • Look for the talking stone near the Bazaar and the yellow well.
  • An additional portal will open, and there you will face a boss fight against Zaballa.
  • If you survive the battle, you can finally use the Decimator Shield upon your return.

A video guide on how to obtain the Shield can be found here:

New MMORPG is coming in 2022 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox – Looks like Lost Ark in the gameplay video

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

In 2011, the Korean developer NCSoft announced a new MMORPG called Lineage Eternal, but the implementation was postponed repeatedly. In 2022, it is set to be released globally under the name TL. Visually and in terms of gameplay, it strongly resembles the current hit Lost Ark.

What kind of game is this? TL is an MMORPG in isometric perspective and promises action-packed battles. You will fight against hordes of monsters, collect loot, and be able to destroy things in your environment. Everything looks rather gloomy and creepy in terms of graphics.

Other than that, it is only known that in the beta of 2016, there was a system where you could control different characters and switch between them, similar to what is currently the case in Lineage 2M. However, TL is supposed to be released for PC and the current consoles and will not get a mobile version.

Since the beta, the developer NCSoft – known for Lineage, Aion, and Blade & Soul – has only shared short status updates and has not released gameplay for years.

On February 14, NCSoft returned with a trailer presenting new titles for 2022. Among them is TL with a few short gameplay scenes (from second 50). In addition, the global release for the second half of 2022 was announced.

Lost Ark, just with a prettier open world?

What is shown in the trailer? The trailer shows some edited battles, including two giants that look like world bosses. It is striking that many players are running around these world bosses and the battlefield looks very vast and open.

At second 57, you can also see huge cliffs, the sea, and a harbor. Shortly after, there are images of a battle for a castle. The images give the impression that the areas are more open and vertical than in Lost Ark. However, whether this is really the case is unclear.

The areas, linear levels, and lack of verticality were, however, points of criticism that we expressed about Lost Ark:

I want to love Lost Ark, but 5 things annoy me too much
von Alexander Leitsch

Project TL was announced as Lineage Eternal and then taken offline

How did the development of the game go?

  • Originally, TL was announced as Lineage Eternal and thus as a successor of the successful MMORPG series from Korea. Lineage is as big in Korea as WoW is in the West, but with significantly more offshoots.
  • However, due to the poor reviews in the first tests of 2016 NCSoft decided to completely overhaul Lineage Eternal. Particularly the entry and the heavy grind were seen as problematic.
  • In 2018, it was then announced that the MMORPG would continue to be developed under the name Project TL. Even then, it was said that there would be no mobile version, but that it would fully focus on PC and consoles. A new engine would also be used for the implementation.

Overall, TL is said to have already cost over 75 million euros in development.

Is there an exact date? NCSoft does not provide an exact date. However, there is a leak from the service “Geforce Now”, which gives the release of Project TL for July 21, 2022. However, this could be a placeholder date.

More on new MMORPGs on MeinMMO:

When will we learn more about TL? At the end of the teaser video, a text appears that says “03. 2022 coming soon”. So we can expect new information in March.

What do you think of the idea of TL? Is there really a need for a new MMORPG with an isometric perspective by the end of the year? Or are you satisfied with Lost Ark for now?

Fortnite: Patch Notes for Patch 19.30 – All important information in English

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite, the servers are down today, on February 15, across all platforms (PC/Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, Android). The downtime will be used to deploy the new update 19.30. We will summarize all changes for you here at MeinMMO.

What is happening today in Fortnite? Once again, Epic Games is shutting down the servers to deploy a new patch. This patch will bring some new content, including skins and other surprises, to keep players entertained.

So you don’t miss out, we at MeinMMO will update the article for you, keeping you informed about the latest developments.

Update 11:00 AM: The servers have been restarted, and you can dive back into the battles. After downloading 3.214 GB on the PlayStation 5, you will be able to log in again.

Important times for Fortnite server downtime – when and for how long?

Downtime in the morning: The servers will be shut down at 10:00 AM our time to roll out update 19.30. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes prior, so you won’t be able to search for matches from 09:30 AM.

When can you play again? The servers will be offline for quite a while, and playing will not be possible. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This has been shown by the updates of recent weeks.

Of course, technical issues and delays can always occur during such work. If any complications arise, we will report them to you.

When will the patch notes be released? Usually, Epic Games provides little to no information about the update changes in the Battle Royale mode. These are often discovered by the community itself.

However, if important changes come, we will also update this article for you.

What new content does update 19.30 bring?

What’s new for the Battle Royale mode? There are no concrete statements from the developers yet, but leaks and dataminers have often proven to be a reliable source in the past. With these changes, you might be able to expect:

Gyroscope Control and Flick Stick

Fortnite already had gyroscope control on the Nintendo Switch and Android devices. Now, other platforms like PlayStation and PC are following suit and also have this feature.

With this control, you gain more precision with controller movements. You can tilt your controller in the direction you want to aim. The Flick Stick supports this, as your crosshair will look in the direction you are looking with your right stick.

Instantly in the Menu

If you’ve downloaded the update, you should have noticed that you no longer have to select a menu. You will be thrown directly into the BR lobby and can switch to any mode from there. This allows you to get into the game even faster and start a match immediately.

New Skins

Epic has also thought of new skins and is providing you with two new cartoon skins, various weapon camouflages, and more.
