How many trainers are needed? If you have the top counter Pokémon and have reached a fairly high level (40+) in Pokémon GO, you can battle Registeel with three people. At lower levels but with strong counters, you should rely on more trainers.

The Twitch streamer Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo wanted to give banned viewers in his chat a second chance and unbanned a total of 25,000 people. We report on how it ended from MeinMMO.
This is Mizkif:
He is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch with nearly 27,000 subscribers and 1.8 million followers.
On average, 27,000 people watch him in his streams.
When Mizkif is gaming and not hanging out in the “Just Chatting” section, he plays games such as League of Legends, Super Mario 64, or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
What happened before the unbanning? Mizkif adorned his livestream title affectionately with the words: “I am unbanning 25,000 people before I start… This could get ugly… tune in.”
Before he started the process, he emphasized again how crazy his action was. Additionally, Rinaudo hired ten new moderators for the chat to ban people again who cannot behave. However, Mizkif believed that everyone deserves a second chance – some bans were unfair and years old.
This is how the unbanning went: As Mizkif started the bot to unban people under epic music, he realized: “The chat will be hell. Pure chaos.”

He was right, because some viewers immediately started insulting the streamer and spamming meaningless messages in the chat. These were mostly banned again immediately.
However, it became clear that some truly deserved a second chance: A few messages in the chat reported how they had written something stupid years ago and regretted it to this day. They were grateful to be able to participate in the chat again.
The chat and the unbanned people celebrated the action with many donations, gifted subscriptions, and follows. One viewer even donated $100 as a thank you.
Jokingly, Mizkif said that everyone who was unbanned should leave him a subscription with Amazon Prime. In fact, some viewers did just that.
The action seems to have turned out positively for the majority. His loyal viewers were especially happy to finally be able to be a full part of the community again. The trolls and insults were banned again throughout the entire stream.

Long-time players have expressed many wishes regarding how World of Warcraft could be better. One goal seems clear: The cap in the quest log should finally be lifted.
Just a few days ago, we reported that the big change in World of Warcraft has slowly but surely begun. Blizzard is ready to question and change the previously unshakable pillars of the game and outdated game systems. This makes players in the MMORPG’s subreddit dream and hope that another relic from the past will finally be retired:
The restriction in the quest log.
Limit for simultaneous quests has been the same for 15 years
What is it about? World of Warcraft has always had a maximum number of quests that can be accepted simultaneously per character. In the days of Vanilla, this maximum was 20, while “The Burning Crusade” (2007) increased this limit to 25 – and it has not been touched since.
What is the problem? Even though 25 quests are generally much more than players can take on in a single current area at once, this cap is increasingly being reached by more and more characters. Especially characters that also roam in old content often hit their limits.
Those who pursue current Shadowlands quests while also returning to old areas, perhaps for collecting transmog or achievements, are often confronted with the quest log limit.
This is particularly problematic with quests that must be completed over several weeks. Many raids have missions that require you to collect items over 4 weeks to later skip certain bosses. Here, players feel almost forced to keep the quest for weeks or months – because canceling the quest later would reset the progress completely.

What does Blizzard say about it? In the past, Blizzard has sometimes commented on the issue. Upon inquiries – such as during the BlizzCons – the response has been that the quest log serves the purpose of keeping players focused on certain tasks. When the quest log is full, you have to let go of some quests. It is simply a limitation to avoid overwhelming the player with too many tasks at once. Since then, there has been no new statement on this.
With more and more expansions and an increasing number of tasks that can last for days or weeks, this has become more and more of a problem.
For more current news about World of Warcraft, click here:
This is how players react: In the WoW subreddit, a thread is currently heating up that has already gathered more than 3,200 upvotes within hours and is demanding the removal of the quest cap. With a proud 96% approval rate, this seems to be a topic behind which the part of the community present in the subreddit is almost united.
Captain_Saftey writes about it:
It’s pretty crazy that they increased the cap in Burning Crusade from 20 to 25 and then just never touched it again.
Donteatthedonuts explains his problems with the limit:
I hit the cap way too often, especially in old content that I want to complete. This means I often miss things and then wander around to find the one quest I couldn’t take anymore…
I think the problem is especially caused by the quests that stay in the quest log for many weeks while you work on completing them. I don’t know if the limit should disappear completely, but I would at least like to see an increase.
The general opinion seems to be: The game, with its tens of thousands of quests, many of which are repeatable, has simply become too large to justify a quest cap of 25.
What do you think about it? Do you see the matter in the same way?

Strange things are happening in the League of Legends right now in the USA. Team Cloud9 has parted ways with its European star Perkz and is now going “all in on Korea”. The new coach LS is impressing with innovative concepts and crazy plans. Cloud9 has now won the first 2 games of the LCS 2022 league with exciting champions in the mid lane.
This is the situation at Cloud9:
In 2021, Cloud9 had the plan “We will get the best players from Europe and then it will work out” – Cloud9 with Perkz and ADC Sven, but it only lasted a year, and then the Croatian left after a mixed season. Sven had fallen out with the team and was banned to the academy team for parts of the season.
For 2022, Cloud9 had completely different plans: They brought in controversial US analyst Nick “LS” de Cesare from Korea, also signed his buddy, Malice, a 24-year-old jungler, and some young talents from Korea. There was no place for Sven in the roster. They replaced legendary Perkz in the mid lane with their own top laner Fudge.
These strange actions raised questions for many people about what is going on at Cloud9. However, after the first games, Cloud9 is looking fantastic.
Cloud9 relies on Ivern and Soraka in the mid lane – Wins both games
This is how it’s going for Cloud9 now: In the first game of the new season in the LCS, Cloud9 played with the champ “Ivern” in the mid lane, which is unusual. If Ivern is played at all, it is usually in the jungle. On the top lane, the Korean summit played the hero “Gnar”, which is also a rather unusual pick in the West.
Cloud9’s unconventional lineup led to a game where the opponent, the Golden Guardians, won the start of the match but was hopeless in the teamfight phase. The site Dotesports attributes to Cloud9 a “incredible understanding of macro play and mechanical skill”.

The teamfight turned the game against the Golden Guardians in Favor of Cloud9.
In the second match of the LCS, Cloud9 faced “Evil Geniuses”. Cloud9 relied on the supporter Soraka in the mid lane, which is also an unusual pick for the LCS. Fudge played 0-3-11 with the heroine, which practically allowed Cloud9 to field 2 supporters.
In the game, the new Korean ADC, Berserker, went berserk. He scored 8-0-5 on Aphelios. Berserker is only 19 years old and comes from the legendary team T1. In the comments on reddit, people are wondering what T1 feeds its carries, whether it might be “Faker Flakes”.
On reddit, people are generally excited about the new “Korean Cloud9”: The South Korean Summit on the top lane is said to be a whole lot better than anything else playing in the LCS.
Soraka in the mid lane is an unusual pick.
An unusual coach goes his own way
What makes LS so unusual? The new coach of Cloud9 is Nick “LS” De Cesare. He is considered an unusual LoL mind who actually comes from strategic card games. LS is credited with the thesis that players and coaches in LoL have no idea about drafts. That’s something for strategy experts like him.
LS is apparently fascinated by Korea and the Korean way of playing LoL, has also trained a team in Korea, but was unsuccessful there. When it was rumored that LS was to train the legendary team T1, South Korean fans protested publicly against it.
LS is seen as someone who often questions the current meta, and stands for different ideas. Hiring someone like him as a coach and letting him set up the team was quite a risk, but it seems to be paying off now.
What’s behind it: Before the season, there was some gossip that Cloud9 was now essentially becoming a branch of the LCK – just as Team Liquid is a team of the European LEC and Team Solo Mid is becoming a “Chinese enclave”.
After the first two games, it looks like Cloud9 will be one of the most exciting teams in League of Legends 2022.
LS’s ideas of relying on a “10-man roster” that provides a high level of training and can purposefully practice tactics already seem to be paying off. The two hungry talents from Korea are already impressive in the first games.

You can navigate through the zombie-infested streets in Dying Light 2 in various ways. However, whether you move over rooftops or choose a brutal method, you shouldn’t forget a certain selection of skills. Find out here on MeinMMO which skills are essential in the zombie apocalypse.
What matters in Dying Light 2? Dying Light 2 allows for diverse approaches. You can move like a parkour artist over rooftops and walls or simply march through hordes of the undead and human enemies, smashing everything in sight.
At launch, there are two skill trees in Dying Light 2, each with 24 skills. These are divided into combat skills and parkour abilities, which is the art of swiftly and acrobatically moving around.
You earn experience points for the respective skills by doing things that relate to those skills. So through fighting, you level up combat skills, and through jumping around, you level up parkour abilities.
So that you don’t waste your hard-earned skill points, we have gathered some essential skills here.
The most important combat skills
You should quickly acquire these six skills as they significantly ease your fights. First, choose the essential skill Vault Kick. With it, you can already jump between enemies and land powerful kicks. After that, you can get the following skills:
Perfect Dodge: If you manage the timing here, you can stagger the opponent, allowing you to execute a Vault Kick.
Air Kick: A very useful skill to flatten enemies from heights. Since you often maneuver on rooftops, this skill is essential.
Dropkick: With this skill, you can push one or more enemies away from you with a massive dropkick. Ideal for sending them off rooftops or into spikes or other hazardous obstacles.
Power Attack: This skill allows you to get the most out of large two-handed weapons, delivering significant blows and stunning enemies. Ideal for chaining further combos.
Perfect Parry: This skill functions like Perfect Dodge, only with a block. It also unlocks the next very useful skill.
Block Projectiles: Some of the toughest fights in the game are against enemies who take cover at a safe distance, bombarding you with arrows and other projectiles. With this skill, you can easily block the projectiles, taking away their advantage.
The most important parkour skills
Your first skill here is High Jump. This allows you to reach greater heights, which is essential for parkour. After that, you can get the following skills:
Firm Grip: This lets you grab one last time if you’re hanging by edges and running out of breath. You can also reach for saving holds while falling, thus saving yourself from many falls to your death.
Active Landing: With this, you can roll after a fall with the press of a button, taking less damage.
Far Jump: This allows you to leap from obstacles, which also provides a significant advantage.
Safe Landing: This increases the distance you can fall safely, forgiving many mistakes in parkour.
Dart: You cannot simply run in Dying Light 2. It requires a skill, and this one gives you a brief speed boost, increasing your jump distance.
Sleek Runner: This increases your speed when running over narrow or otherwise challenging spots.
That’s all for our selection of important skills in Dying Light 2. Have you adopted a different selection or have other tips for players in Dying Light 2? Let us know in the comments.
Not every MMO that has prematurely passed away deserved this fate. Often, the time just wasn’t right or there were misconceptions about the game. To ensure that we don’t forget these lost gems of MMO history, MeinMMO presents a selection of games that left us far too soon.
However, not every game deserved its end. Some were true gems that are still mourned by their fans. A few of the most important games in this category will be briefly introduced in the following paragraphs.
How was the selection made? Our selection is primarily based on games that did not simply die due to lack of love in implementation and the resulting player base decline. We will cover games that had, among other things, a great core idea, a particularly lovable implementation, or other features that were generally well received. However, they were doomed to die due to other adverse circumstances.

WildStar
What kind of game was it?WildStar was a large MMORPG developed by Carbine Studios. Many former WoW developers worked there. Their goal: To develop a second large MMORPG like WoW. However, the setting was a bizarre sci-fi world where a wicked empire and a band of rebels wanted to colonize a new, unknown planet.
There were many areas of the planet Nexus to explore, with various PvP activities. The highlight of WildStar was the fast-paced action combat system, the humorous story, and the vibrant setting. Additionally, the developers aimed to return MMORPGs to their roots: with challenging content and massive 40-player raids.

What was so great about it? WildStar captivated players from the start with its crazy, vibrant appearance. The game never took itself too seriously and had a lot of humor – albeit crude and dark humor.
For instance, there was a quest where a space hamster lying on the grill gives numerous quests but does not want to get off the grill because it’s “done”.
Or the delightfully greedy and extremely capitalistic Protostar company, which tried every ridiculous gimmick to squeeze money out of your hero.
If you preferred solid action, you could unleash yourself in the wonderfully dynamic combat system. WildStar had one of the best and most sophisticated combat systems in the MMORPG genre to this day. Only what was directly in front of the weapon was hit.
Prominent telegraph indicators that clearly displayed where an attack lands were necessary to get the most out of your heroes.
Furthermore, you had to dodge attacks and catch them in other ways. Just standing there and putting out the rotation never led to success in WildStar.
Another highlight that is sorely missed: WildStar had brilliant housing in which you could let your creativity run wild. You had a flying plot of land and could fill it with all sorts of stuff. Some players even built a bar where their guild was hosted.
Hi! Can I have all your money?
Why did it have to die? Unfortunately, the developers made a crucial mistake and underestimated how quickly players churn through content nowadays. What would have lasted for months during the WoW release time was quickly completed in WildStar’s era, and soon after the release, players wanted more. However, the supply ran dry and did not come in sufficient quantities.
Furthermore, some of the hardcore features were far too harsh for many casual players, and the particularly demanding raids in the endgame were never played by the majority of players.
Additionally, there was a reason why 40-player raids were no longer featured in WoW and other games. It is simply extremely stressful to organize and execute. Only a small minority of players truly wanted that back, and this community alone was not enough to support WildStar.
The great success remained out of reach, and even a switch to free-to-play did not bring a long-term turnaround. Therefore, on November 28, 2018, four years after release, the servers of WildStar were permanently shut down.
Even today, I remember well my first steps in WildStar:
WildStar was the first MMORPG I worked with professionally. I wrote – back then at Buffed – about the closed beta of the game and for a long time tried unsuccessfully to gain access. Once it finally happened, I spent many hours in the beta and enjoyed every minute.
Especially the excellent combat system will stay with me forever. Since then, most other MMORPGs feel slow and boring. In WildStar, it was simply a blast to dance around the enemies and unleash devastating combos at the right moment.
No MMORPG has impressed me so much since then.

In Pokémon GO the raid with Shuckle is one of the most feared for solo players. Although the turtle is not particularly strong, it can take a lot of hits. Now, a trainer has defeated it alone and the community is celebrating the video.
What did the trainer do? On reddit, user ArktisPingvin shows a video of his battle against Shuckle and explains that one can indeed take on the turtle. In the past, trainers have tried this but failed miserably, as the turtle is so well-protected in its shell. They simply lost against time.
Now, more videos are appearing of trainers taking advantage of the cold weather and finally defeating the turtle as a single trainer with just one Pokémon.
“Wow, it was still very close”
This is what the trainer shows: In his video, ArktisPingvin writes that he has been waiting a long time for the solo victory against Shuckle. However, he found a raid when it was snowing in the game. Due to the weather, the moves “Bullet Seed” and “Meteor Mash” of his Shadow Metagross are boosted and deal even more damage to Shuckle. This bonus is important for the solo raid.
As an attacker, he used a Shadow Metagross at level 50 with 15 attack points and an IV value of 91.
With a remaining time of about 10 seconds, he was finally able to defeat the armored turtle. We will embed the video of the battle here in the article:

This is what the players say: The video is well-received in the community of TheSilphRoad. Players are excited to see that one can really defeat Shuckle alone, as long as the weather is right. Another user later posted a video showing that even a Shadow Metagross at level 45 can win the battle (via reddit.com).
Players are writing in the comments on reddit:
“Oh wow, that was still very, very close. Congratulations. What an exclusive solo.”
“I remember, my friend and I were about level 30/32. It was the first time Shuckle was released in level 3 raids and was only available in raids. We tried to beat it in duo, but it didn’t work. Back then, there was no Metagross with Meteor Mash. Since then, I’ve done countless level 3 raids solo. But this Shuckle still gives me nightmares.”
“Man, I had a perfect Shadow, I waited over two years for Shuckle to come back to raids to do this. I just had no luck with the weather here or with a snow invitation from afar.”
Why is Shuckle so hard at level 3? The special thing is that level 3 raids can actually be completed solo. However, some players have a lot of difficulty with Shuckle. The reason for this is the enormous defense values.
Let’s look at its stats: With an attack of 17, it ranks, along with Shadow Shuckle, 982nd and 983rd out of 983 positions. So it’s at the bottom. Its stamina value of 85 puts it in 971st place out of 983. Just ahead of Magikarp. In return, Shuckle has a defense value of 396, which places it at the absolute top of the 983 Pokémon. Even ahead of the defensive form of Deoxys, which has over 330 defense.
That’s why trainers take unusually long in this level 3 raid.
Lost Ark is a complete MMORPG, even if it is often compared to Diablo. This MMO also includes many mechanics that you would normally find only in RPGs, including the essential flirting with the residents of the world. They give you money and, if you earn enough affection, come to your island with you.
What kind of mechanic is this? The mechanic that you need to flirt with characters in the world of Lost Ark greets you relatively early in the game. As soon as you have battled through the tutorial and reached the city of Prideholm, you will encounter the first NPCs.
Once you have completed the first main quests, you will meet two characters with whom you can initiate a romance. The tavern keeper Neria is the first one you meet.
In conversations with her and other characters with whom you can improve your relationship, you have two big boxes to choose from. One of them always starts the normal conversations or quest-related conversations, while the other, heart-shaped, initiates your flirts with the characters.
The left “Rapport” action unlocks the flirt conversations
How does it work exactly? Shortly after your meeting with Neria, you will meet the bard Siera, the second character in Prideholm, with whom you can slowly get to know better. Even now, you can notice the differences between the two characters and that you need to do different things to get closer to them.
You have to assure Neria that she cooks well. And you must prove that you really think so, because she can’t cook at all.
For bard Siera, on the other hand, you have to perform a song or bring her her favorite flowers.
As you increase your level of familiarity with them, you can collect a reward. This also varies from NPC to NPC. Neria, in particular, is very worthwhile in the beginning, as she simply gives you 10,000 silver after a short time at the second level.
If you then reach another level of familiarity, you will also unlock new quests with the NPCs, where you can get to know them better. These tasks usually present exciting or funny stories and are richly detailed. So it is worth listening.
The characters in Arkesia who are open to your efforts are marked with a red heart on the minimap so you can find them directly.
Bard Siera can be found on the minimap. She is marked with a red heart.
Not only your wallet will benefit
What do the flirts bring? Improving relationships with various NPCs brings more than just filling your wallet. The items that the NPCs give you vary greatly.
In addition to the silver or gold you receive, you also obtain additional experience points, items to enhance your equipment, and items that support you in battle. But even apart from loot and levels, relationships offer you advantages.
Once you have charmed a person enough, you can offer the NPC to follow you to your island. Then you can find the character there and use them for your expeditions.
The various characters each bring different bonuses that they can provide on your island and contribute to your adventures. Additionally, there are even skins available for purchase that allow you to change the outfits of your new loved ones.

How much time do you need to invest? Since you can only perform the affection actions a total of 5 times a day, it takes quite a while for some NPCs to actually trust you.
Until then, you will need to give them a lot of gifts, play many songs for them, and do quite a bit for your NPC friends. But as previously mentioned, it’s worth the effort.
However, the daily limit makes it feel like it takes forever to win over some NPCs. While bard Siera in Prideholm will trust you completely after 10 days and come to your island, it takes a full 87 days for you to convince Ninav on the Whispering Islands.
With whom can you improve your relationship? At first, it may seem like you can only charm beautiful women and earn their trust, but this pattern is already broken in the second city.
There you can also flirt with men. But it doesn’t stop there. Throughout the story of Lost Ark, you will meet many NPCs with whom you can improve your relationship. This is not always about flirting, but often it is simply about trust.
For example, you can even win different animals as NPC companions. In total, you can build a relationship with 77 different characters in Lost Ark. Your island can get pretty crowded.
What do you think about the flirt quests? Does it annoy you that you suddenly have to take care of some NPCs? Or does it rather enhance the immersion when you can take your time for the characters in the world? Feel free to tell us in the comments here at MeinMMO.
The MMORPG Element Quest is a colorful 2D game that somewhat resembles the anime “Avatar: The Last Airbender”. It launched on November 24, 2021, as a free-to-play game on Steam but received mixed reviews. The game has since been taken down from the platform. The developers, however, have hinted at a potential return.
What kind of game was it? Element Quest is a 2D side-scroller and thus reminds one of the successful game MapleStory. The core of the game revolves around the different elements that give the character one of the typical RPG tasks:
Fire focuses on damage
Earth works with control and was a kind of tank
Water takes on the role of healing
Air is the hybrid class that masters damage, some support, and crowd control
Moreover, the developers emphasized that their game focuses on social aspects. With expeditions, there is a kind of dungeon system for groups of 3 to 5 players. However, these adventures are supposed to consist of randomly generated levels and boss fights. In particular, the boss fights with various mechanics are meant to be the heart of the game.
Element Quest also features an open game world that offers a day-night cycle. This cycle affects the available NPCs and merchants. The shop is completely free from pay-to-win and offers only cosmetic content for 7 to 15 euros, as well as additional character slots.
A glimpse into the game is provided by this video from Indie Patron:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6knu0TeX-b0
What has happened now? At the end of January, the developers announced the shutdown of the Steam version (via Steam). They admitted to several mistakes but also emphasized that the much negativity from players had demotivated them.
The MMORPG received 109 reviews on Steam, of which only 69% were positive. At peak times, only 30 users played simultaneously.
Element Quest made many mistakes that players heavily criticized
What were the problems of Element Quest? According to the developers, there were some aspects that led to the shutdown:
Players viewed the MMORPG as a finished product rather than seeing the potential that the game could offer in the future. This led to much negativity.
The developers, on the other hand, wanted to target too broad an audience, which caused them to neglect the quality of the game.
They believed that by using Google Translate into different languages, players who do not speak English could still play their MMORPG, and thus the overall payers would increase.
There was a lack of players because the developers did not know where and how to promote their game. There was apparently no collaboration with the press.
The many negative comments led to the main developer leaving the game shortly after release.
The game supposedly did not generate enough revenue, which is why the version on Steam was not profitable.
What happens to the game now? While the Steam and thus the PC version has been shut down, Element Quest is supposed to continue on mobile for now. A return to Steam is planned, but only under certain conditions. The developers write:
Hopefully, the game will be back in operation in the near future. With a better player experience, a smaller target audience, no localization, and perhaps under a different name.
Would you find a return of Element Quest interesting? Or did the MMORPG fail for good reason? Feel free to write it in the comments.
Element Quest is not the first MMO to announce its shutdown in 2022. One game has already completely died, and three others have announced their demise:
Next Wednesday, the TOTW 21 (Team of the Week) will be released in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. Here, you will find out which players might secure a spot in the new Team of the Week.
This is the Team of the Week: Every Wednesday it’s time for a new TOTW in FIFA Ultimate Team. This team features players who have impressed with strong performances in the past football week. These players will receive enhanced Inform special cards that are available in packs for a week.
What are TOTW Predictions? In the TOTW Predictions, we present forecasts for the new TOTW from the FUT community. The performances of the players are closely examined, and predictions are made.
However, it is important to note that the predictions are not a guarantee for the final Team of the Week 21.
This is what happens if Zakaria receives an Inform card: This week could be frustrating for all owners of the Headliners card of Zakaria. If the former Gladbach player, who now plays at Juventus Turin, actually receives an Inform card, his Headliners card will be updated and also change clubs.
Particularly frustrating: The card will no longer fit into any Bundesliga team and cannot even be sold, as it is an untradeable squad building player.
What do you think about the predictions for TOTW 21? Which player should definitely be included in the new Team of the Week? Let us know in the comments!

Lost Ark will soon host an event on the Twitch platform, where selected streamers from various regions will duel. During this event, streamers can unlock new Twitch Drops for their viewers that are actually quite rewarding.
What kind of event is this? The event is called “Legends of Lost Ark” and revolves around Twitch streamers. Twenty of them from Europe, America, and South Asia will compete against each other.
They must complete tasks such as obtaining 3 Island Hearts, upgrading a weapon to at least +9, or mastering the Tower of Shadows at level 50. With each completed task, the Twitch Drops improve for their respective region.
And these Twitch Drops are quite lucrative for the viewers.
Update: We have added information from the livestream on February 3 and updated the article accordingly.
When does the event actually take place? The event will start on time with the launch on February 8 and will run throughout February. The end of Legends of Lost Ark will be on February 28. Until then, you have time to collect the Drops.
What rewards are there for the viewers? The following four items will be available for the viewers. Once the rewards have been unlocked by the streamers, you must watch for 4 hours to receive a Drop.
Battle Item Chest – A chest containing in-game currencies
Paper Hat Chest – A chest with 5 different headpiece skins (you receive one randomly)
Helgaia Pet Chest – A chest with 4 different pets (you receive one randomly)
Which German streamers are participating? Those who want to watch the streams in German can tune in to Twitch streamers AresLPs, Meashi12, and Dhalucard. All three are competing for Europe.
Other well-known European streamers are Jessirocks, Fextralife, and Nugiyen.
How do you get the Twitch Drops? To receive the Drops, you only need to have a Twitch account and watch the selected streamers for a certain amount of time.
For players who have not purchased Lost Ark in advance, this is a way to get acquainted with the game. However, you can also just let the streams run in the background without sound.
Do you often miss edges or just want to get back down to the ground of the world of Dying Light 2 faster? MeinMMO shares some tips that will help you soften your fall and survive even high drops.
Parkour is an important element in Dying Light 2. You need it to get through the city quickly, escape from zombies, or find secret Easter eggs.
Unlike many games, the game’s assistance is not as pronounced. If you miss a rooftop edge, it’s a free fall. A high fall does not always mean death, but it can cause damage, stun you, and attract zombies that will finish you off.
If you fall too deep, you die instantly. If you play co-op, a teammate can revive you after a slip-up. However, this only works if they survive the fall as well.
There are some tips that will help you survive a fall or daring jump from very high buildings and towers, even without a parachute.
The game itself advises you to soften your fall. There are various ways to do this.
1. Use Mattresses
Mattresses are your primary survival insurance. Throughout the world, you will find mattresses marked with a blue X. They are often located in trash bins or on a pile of garbage bags, so they may not be immediately visible.
Even if Aiden lands quite hard, a mattress softens a jump from any height. Some crazy players have tested how deep the fall can be and concluded: very deep.

If you are lucky – or unlucky, depending on your perspective – to encounter a zombie or another enemy on a rooftop, you can use them as a cushion for your fall. As seen in the trailers for Dying Light 2, you can simply pull them down with you.
An enemy must be standing at the edge of a building, and you need to have the “Block Attack” skill in the combat skill tree. After a block, press the corresponding key/button to throw the enemy backward.
You will fall to the ground with them. If the fall is deep enough, the enemy dies instantly. According to some players, this can even work with strong elite enemies.

The third tip requires a bit more practice and good timing. Additionally, you must have learned the “Air Kick” skill. Alternatively, the following also work:
Smash
Smash Jump
However, you only get both skills later on. When jumping from a building, you need to press the corresponding key when an enemy is underneath you. Timing is important in this case because if you press it at the wrong time, you’ll crash to the ground.
If you decide to use enemies as cushions, you will even be rewarded with bloody effects. And they are not even cut – at least not if you play on PC:

With these tricks, you will survive jumps from any height – but you should be careful. Because not everywhere are there enemies or mattresses. However, it is useful if you need to get back down quickly.

Even shooter veterans can have a tough time starting with PUBG: Battlegrounds. We at MeinMMO asked a professional in an interview how to improve in this battle royale. Here are his tips.
PUBG: Battlegrounds remains one of the biggest and best battle royale games on the market, even 5 years after its release. However, newcomers may find it difficult to start with PUBG now. Even seasoned shooter enthusiasts can be challenged by its realistic and tactical gameplay.
That’s why we at MeinMMO asked a professional what makes him so good and what tips he can give us. This professional is Dorian “TecK” Kaiser, Community Coordinator at PUBG Studio. The PUBG expert is also available on Twitter and often appears on the official German Twitch channel for PUBG.
Dorian “TecK” Kaiser is a PUBG professional and gives you important tips for the battle royale.
Who did we ask? Hey! I am Dorian, also known by the gamer name “TecK”. I have been a Community Coordinator at PUBG Studio since July 2018. However, I’ve been playing PUBG: Battlegrounds since 2017 and have now accumulated over 2000 hours of gameplay.
The tips that Dorian “TecK” Kaiser shared with us in the interview are revealed here.
For the PUBG professional, these are the best weapons for every situation
When asked what to consider when selecting weapons in PUBG, the professional had a detailed answer:
“The choice of weapon is extremely important and of course always depends on the gaming situation.” He recommends several weapons for every situation and skill level:
“If you land on the map at the beginning, an SMG or shotgun is the best choice! You need to prevail in close-quarters combat and eliminate opponents accordingly at short range.
“Once you’ve made it past the initial phase, grab an assault rifle,” says the professional.
“If you are new to PUBG: Battlegrounds, the M416 is your weapon of choice. It is the easiest to control and simultaneously very powerful.”
“Experienced players grab the Beryl M762, which is currently the strongest assault rifle but also difficult to control.”
“As a second weapon beside your assault rifle, you can choose between a semi-automatic rifle and a sniper rifle. Semi-automatic rifles can be extremely powerful; the SLR is the best semi-automatic rifle and should be prioritized over all other weapons. […] In international tournaments, almost everyone plays this type of weapon.”
“Sniper rifles are situationally strong. If you are very accurate, sniper rifles can be powerful. However, I generally recommend using a semi-automatic rifle like the SLR.”
“Assault rifle & semi-automatic rifle is the best combination to win firefights at all distances.”
To learn how to handle the weapons, the professional also has an important tip:
“The training mode is your best friend if you want to learn how to control recoil. It has everything you need: all weapons, all weapon modifications, movable targets & long-distance targets. Of course, it takes some practice, but no pain, no gain!”
Better Landing, Looting, and Movement – Tips from the PUBG professional
In a battle royale like PUBG: Battlegrounds, there are generally 3 phases of gameplay:
The Start: The jump, the landing, the first looting phase, the first fights.
The Middle: Keeping up with the circle and optimizing equipment.
The End: The high-intensity finale with the last battles.
We asked the professional how to properly behave in these phases of the game. Here are his answers:
How do I decide where to land?
What the professional says: “It all depends on your playstyle! Are you more the players who take it easy or those who like to face the fight?
Let’s take a look at Erangel – large cities like Rozhok, Pochinki, Georgopol, Yasnaya Polyana & the military base offer plenty of loot but are highly contested. A good middle ground can be found in Severny, Mylta, and Primorsk. If you prefer to take it easy, I recommend Gatka, Lipovka, or the many small houses scattered across the map.”
What tricks do I need to know to land better and faster?
What the professional says: “Every map offers its own possibilities. On Sanhok, you should jump about 1200 meters before the target, on Vikendi about 1000 meters, on Erangel about 950 meters, on Miramar at 900 meters, and on Taego around 950 meters. Once you jump out, fly as slowly as possible toward your target and switch to a dive at 150 meters before your target.”
How do I loot the fastest, most effectively, and safely?
What the professional says: “Many make the mistake of looting items using the ‘F’ key. The fastest and most effective way is to open your inventory and drag the items into your inventory.
Also, always keep an overview of your inventory. Do you have enough ammunition & grenades, first aid kits, and bandages & boosters, vests, helmets, and backpacks? A good overview of your inventory is important and can be crucial in many situations!”
The professional’s answer: “It depends on your playstyle. The goal is to win a chicken dinner, and that is easiest done if you only move into the zone and secure houses that are within the next zone. Of course, a fight may be necessary to secure these houses.
Scout the houses you want to go to well to ensure they are free. Then you should drive there with a vehicle. One trick is to turn off the engine when you’ve been moving at high speed and your target is in range. With the engine off, your enemy won’t hear you!”
How do I stay calm when I’m getting nervous towards the end?
The professional’s answer: “Everyone who is new to the game and is close to a chicken dinner is nervous! Gaining much routine is essential. The more you play and warm up with the game, the nerves will fade over time.”
The 3 best settings recommended by the professional
We also asked the professional what settings are absolutely necessary. He says: “There are some settings that can make the game easier.”
He specifically mentions 3 settings that he highly recommends. You will find them all under Settings → Gameplay → Functionalities:
Automatic Reload → Activate
The professional’s explanation: “With this setting, you don’t have to worry about manually reloading your weapon.”
Default fire mode for assault rifles/handguns/submachine guns/bolt-action rifles → Fully automatic
The professional’s explanation: “[This setting] I always have activated! An assault rifle in single-fire mode can quickly cost you the game.”
Automatically equip modifications from inventory → Activate
The professional’s explanation: “Also a practical setting, so your weapons are always automatically fully modified.”
He has no clear recommendations for graphics settings. “Graphics settings should always be used based on personal comfort,” says the professional. We at MeinMMO have compiled settings that are specifically designed to improve performance and visibility:
A hotly debated topic in the PUBG community (especially for newcomers) is the question of TPP or FPP. But what is it, actually? Here’s what the professional says:
“A brief summary: FPP is the perspective through the eyes of the character, and TPP is the perspective over the character’s shoulder. You can see most of your character from behind and have a wider field of view.”
Although TPP offers a broader field of view, the professional sees no correct setting. Instead, it is a choice based on personal preference – whether beginner or pro.
The expert says: “There’s no such thing as ‘FPP is better’ or ‘TPP is better’! Every player has their own playstyle and preferences.”
What the professional says about FPP: “Many see FPP as the competitive perspective, as this is usually played in international events. You are more reliant on your reactions because you can’t see approaching enemies around corners, allowing them to eliminate you.”
What the professional says about TPP: “In TPP, you have the advantage of calm. You can hide safely behind a wall and observe your opponents, striking once you’ve found the right moment.”
When asked what tips he would give to players in general, Dorian Kaiser had a clear answer: “Practice makes perfect! Everyone starts small, but it’s worth sticking with it – because the chicken dinner is coming.”

Weapons with low recoil are in demand in Call of Duty: Warzone, but not always can weapons be controlled as well as their recoil pattern suggests. Much more important is the visual recoil, and we explain it to you on MeinMMO.
How do “real” and visual recoil differ? To test the recoil of a weapon in Call of Duty: Warzone, one seeks a straight wall with a uniform surface and fires off an entire magazine or a certain number of shots.
The “recoil pattern” on the wall shows you the “real” recoil – how much the weapon shakes when firing.
However, we are in a video game. What happens at the end of the bullet’s trajectory does not necessarily have to correspond to what we experience in front of the monitor or TV.
This is where visual recoil comes into play. This is the recoil that you actually feel in the sight when firing. This is partly independent of what happens on the wall.
What arrives at the wall does not necessarily reflect the noticeable visual recoil.
Why is visual recoil more important? The “real” recoil says less about how much you have to correct with the mouse or controller when firing. The visual recoil, on the other hand, determines exactly that.
If you have less visual recoil, you need to work less against the weapon when firing continuously. You actually have to correct less and end up hitting better.
That’s why it’s more important to know how the recoil of a weapon behaves in the sight than the bullet artwork during the recoil test. However, the test can tell you whether the weapon has any special characteristics when firing, such as a pull to the left during sustained fire or something similar.
Are there exceptions? In general, the rule is: Look for weapons with low visual recoil for better control. But as always: exceptions prove the rule.
For example, there is an interesting setup for the assault rifle BAR. The weapon fires very slowly and has an overall low recoil. The “real” recoil is so low that the entire magazine lands almost in one point during the wall test.
In the sight, however, it looks different. The BAR makes a strong jump upwards. Due to the low fire rate, the weapon returns to the starting point before the next shot.
In this setup, visual recoil plays a secondary role because the weapon hits almost perfectly. You just have to suppress the reflex to correct the recoil. We’ll bind the corresponding setup here:
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 Rounds Mag
Ammunition: Lengthened
Rear Grip: Grooved Grip
Perk: Hardscope
Perk 2: Fully Loaded
Attachments in English
Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
Barrel: CGC 30″ XL
Optic: 1913 Variable 4-8x
Stock: Chariot WR
Underbarrel: M3 Ready Grip
Magazine: .50 BMG 30 Rounds Mag
Ammunition: Lengthened
Rear Grip: Grooved Grip
Perk: Hardscope
Perk 2: Fully Loaded
How can I influence visual recoil? Aside from your optics, there are very few attachments that positively influence visual recoil. One of them is the “Command Grip” from CoD MW – not for nothing does the grip often appear in setups.
Regarding optics:
Greater zoom increases visual recoil
Less zoom leads to less visual recoil
Moreover, there is an exciting slider in the settings that influences visual recoil. However, this only applies to players on PC. It’s about the field of view slider (FoV slider).
If PC players increase their “field of view settings” and use the “affected” field of view, they also directly reduce their visual recoil. Console players do not have the field of view options.
This is because with a larger field of view, the same distance appears smaller than with low field of view settings. This also applies to visual recoil.
If the weapon moves 1 cm upwards on your screen when firing at a field of view of 80, then this distance decreases with a larger field of view. Theoretically, both weapons have the same recoil – practically it appears that way and feels like less recoil.
With the narrower field of view on the left, the recoil appears stronger with the same attachments. Source: YouTube
Are there downsides? If you adjust the field of view upwards or use smaller zoom levels with your optics, enemies on the screen appear smaller, harder to see, and also harder to hit. Therefore, it is also a matter of personal preference and your setup.
Console players often sit farther away from their screen because they game on the couch in front of the TV. A lower field of view and more zoom make sense here, as enemies appear larger.
If you are sitting only 50 centimeters in front of the monitor and enemies almost jump at you, then a larger field of view and/or smaller zoom levels often bring more success.
The analyses on visual recoil come from the YouTube channel “TrueGameData”. You can find the corresponding English videos with more background information below in the sources.
How can I use this to my advantage? Understanding the mechanics behind it can help you find the right optics for your needs.
Furthermore, do not rely solely on the descriptions of the attachments when building a setup. Visual recoil is a hidden value where it is not entirely clear how, when, and why it is influenced. Experiment a little and keep in mind how important visual recoil is.
Aside from that, console players can’t do much more. On PC, you should play around with the field of view slider to adjust it to your favorite sight.
A druid charges at the enemy players in World of Warcraft – and kills them by the dozen. Because he deals 400% more damage than intended.
In a game as complex as World of Warcraft, so many effects in the form of buffs and enhancements have accumulated over 18 years that it is nearly impossible to keep track of them all. Yet one player has set himself the goal of finding all possible exploits and proudly presenting them: Rextroy.
In his latest video, he escalates as a druid and simply wipes out the horde population outside the gates of Orgrimmar.
What happened? The well-known YouTuber and WoW player Rextroy has once again found an exploit that allows for insane amounts of damage to be dealt in a short time. This time it even happens in the form of AoE attacks, causing horde players to drop like flies. The reason for this is a stackable buff mechanic that can be exploited.

How does it work? The core of this combination is the Venthyr covenant ability of druids, “Insatiable Fury.” This spell increases damage by 2%, haste by 1%, and critical strike rating for 20 seconds with every spell cast. In principle, a maximum of 20 stacks is possible before the effect would end anyway.
However, Rextroy found a trick. In the “Trial of Fire,” you can reset cooldowns and stack “Insatiable Fury” even more frequently, resetting the duration to 25 seconds each time. A whopping 99 stacks are possible, resulting in an impressive 198% bonus damage, 99% haste, and over 100% critical strike rating.
With 99 stacks, Rextroy was summoned by a warlock to Durotar to charge straight into a group of horde players and obliterate them with Starfall. Thanks to additional buffs like elixirs, potions, or even Blessing of Summer, each projectile from Starfall hits for nearly 12,000 damage, killing every horde player within a radius of 40 meters in about 5-6 seconds. Most don’t even have time to react before it is too late.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
Is this still working? No. Rextroy reported the discovery of this exploit to the developers before the video was published and waited for their confirmation before going live. The error has now been fixed with a hotfix, and other players can no longer exploit it.
Rextroy did this mainly because the exploit could have been used in raids. With proper coordination, it would have been possible to summon several druids simultaneously in a raid and let them fight with 400% bonus damage for 20 seconds – this could have quickly taken down many bosses and skipped entire phases.
What do you think of this find? Crazy what Rextroy keeps discovering?

The Twitch streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp is the most successful streamer for League of Legends, but is also known as an uncontrollable hothead who regularly has outbursts and flames wildly. As the legendary LoL team T1 now announces the separation, Tyler1 hastily assures: It was not because he poses such a high risk for any advertising partner.
This is Tyler1:
The 26-year-old American is by far the biggest streamer for League of Legends. He plays the role of a raging musclebound character in front of the camera, who believes he is 2 meters tall, even though he apparently stands below 1.70 meters.
Tyler1 is known for his fits of rage on camera. He likes to type in “All Caps” and reminds all teammates that they are far inferior to him and actually quite stupid. Due to his toxic nature, Tyler1 was banned from LoL for a long time; since a Riot employee wished him testicular cancer and was subsequently fired, Tyler1 is back in the game and can pretty much do anything.
In the last 14 months, Tyler1 had a partnership with T1, the huge LoL team from South Korea. Since the “marriage” of Faker from 2013 to 2016, when they became world champions three times, T1 is considered the “biggest team” in LoL – albeit these golden years are already quite a while ago.
T1 announced: On February 1st, T1 announced that Tyler1 is leaving the “T1” family. They thank him for the great time and wish him all the best.
https://twitter.com/T1/status/1488633257390444548
Fans speculated: Tyler1 had been fired
This was the rumor: Quickly, the idea arose among LoL fans that T1 had thrown Tyler1 out because they no longer wanted to take the risk of having such a walking time bomb in their ranks.
The term “brand-safe” means that someone is marketable and large brands can advertise with him without any scandals lurking around. A “brand-risk”, on the other hand, is someone that could be embarrassing or harmful for big brands to be associated with, because that person might do something offensive or damaging to their reputation.
T1 is, after all, a reputable team with numerous lucrative advertising deals, and Tyler1 is considered a walking “Brand-Risk”; the kind that can damage a brand single-handedly.
It is then said that T1’s wording of thanking for the shared time is just “corporate talk” meant to cover up the truth.
The people in the chat laughed:
“Tyler1 was fired on his day off”
Tyler1 was “canceled”
Looked like a dream couple: Tyler1 hugs T1 star Faker.
This is what Tyler1 says: But Tyler1 does not want to leave it like that. In a stream, he says:
So it’s officially… we are out at T1. It’s a sad day, guys, a sad day. It’s amicable. – There’s no specific reason.
“Doesn’t that sound like corporate talk?” No, I am not a brand risk! That’s really not it. I’m not a damn brand risk!

What’s behind it: The idea behind the deal was probably:
for T1 to establish itself more strongly in the US market as a South Korean team and build a relationship with the current LoL scene in the USA to sell more merchandise
for Tyler1 to gain even more “credibility” by having contact with the big names
But both sides probably realized that the effects of such a partnership weren’t that significant after all. Aside from occasional hugs with Faker when meeting at an event once a year, not much happened. The worlds of an explosive Twitch streamer in the US and a South Korean professional team seem just too far apart.
Therefore, it seems the deal has simply run its course.
Even without the deal, Tyler1 will likely not be starving; he is fully occupied with his “You have to play 200 hours of LoL per month” deal with Twitch:
MMORPGs do not go well with leisure planning, especially when you have a family like MeinMMO editor Jürgen Horn. You play differently and usually less intensely. But right now, The Elder Scrolls Online suits me very well, especially with the upcoming expansion High Isle, which has been heavily criticized.
Who is writing here? I have been a father to a little son since 2019 and since then I have had to adjust my gaming habits. Simply gaming through the nights is no longer possible, and complex games are less likely to be an option. Instead, games that offer a lot of fun in a short time are in demand. MMORPGs are generally no longer an option, but that’s not the case with ESO.
Because the upcoming chapter High Isle, which is currently criticized by many fans, will likely be a real hit for me. What many don’t like fits perfectly with my changed gaming situation.
Start video
Everything you need to know about The Elder Scrolls Online – in 2 minutes
3 reasons why High Isle will be great for ESO for people like me
But what hardcore ESO players do not like, suits me (and people in a similar situation) perfectly.
The setting and story bring a pleasant deceleration
The last three expansions brought a steady escalation. First, there were dragons in Elsweyr (in your homeland! Dragons!). Then, there was a gigantic vampiric conspiracy in Skyrim. And then the last chapter even literally sent us to “Hell,” where a corporeal Daedra prince wanted to take us down.
How could that be surpassed? By turning a Daedra prince into a vampire and binding him to a dragon? Hopefully not!
Or one could take a break from the gigantism and downshift a few gears. You don’t need a bombastic threat from super monsters to tell an exciting story. And that seems to be exactly what High Isle promises.
It’s time for ESO to become a bit more down-to-earth.
Because completely normal mortal villains are often much more tangible and multi-dimensional than immortal vampire lords, dragons, or even Daedra lords. Just think of nasty guys like King Geoffrey or Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones. They were ordinary but powerful people who were very dangerous in their lust for power.
I am therefore really looking forward to a whimsical setting full of intrigues and noble feuds, just like I loved in Game of Thrones.
For me, it also has the advantage that the story can be enjoyed at a slower pace. The world is not in immediate danger, I do not have to complete all quests on the first day, and I can portion my gaming time ideally.
The new card game is perfect for taking a break
The news that there will be a cool card game as a “game within a game” made me very curious. Because I love mini-games! In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, I always take time for a round of Orlog and never miss a drinking contest.
And in The Witcher 3, Gwent was sometimes the main activity for me during a whole gaming evening. And just because I loved Gwent so much, I am really looking forward to the new card game “Tales of Glory” in High Isle.
I am extremely looking forward to the card game!
I totally loved the Elder Scrolls card game Legends until it was unfortunately shut down. But I can imagine that some elements will find new life in ESO.
I see myself already spending an entire evening without completing any quests or dailies. Instead, I’ll be hanging out in the tavern all night playing cards with shady Khajiit.
The game will be less complex and thus more beginner-friendly (again)
My last argument for High Isle is also one that many fans criticize about the new chapter. There will be achievements across the entire account, and there will be significant changes in the combat system.
So anyone who has invested time in numerous twinks and their achievements will kind of be at a loss. Because in the future, the achievements of all your account’s characters will be shared. However, what irritates and angers hardcore players suits me as a casual player extremely well. Because I only have 2 twinks, and they haven’t done much. Now, they will all benefit from all of my achievements.
Even better, I find that the combat system will be less complex. After weeks of absence, I always struggle to grasp the gameplay and the mechanics behind it to play my character optimally. But I do not want to spend my limited free time sifting through numerous stats and their effects. Otherwise, the gaming evening will be over before I’ve accomplished much.
With a simpler system that the developers promise, I will have more fun in my limited time. And that suits me very well.
But this is just my opinion as a player with little time. What do you think about it? Let me know in the comments!
Shortly after release, players already found some Easter eggs in Dying Light 2. Some of them are even really useful, like drivable vehicles. Unfortunately, at least for a few of them, there seems to be no way to obtain them honestly.
What vehicles are there? Dying Light 2 offers plenty of secrets, such as hidden safes with valuable loot or Easter eggs. New videos and clips from players moving through the city with vehicles pop up on Reddit and YouTube all the time. So far, 3 have been found:
What use do these vehicles have for me? At least with the bicycle, players are significantly faster than on foot. The two flying vehicles allow for a slower descent, similar to the parachute – but they consume stamina in the process.
The clips and videos excite fans. But they are now puzzling over how to obtain them. Most videos seem to use a trick, but all vehicles can apparently also be found honestly in the game.

Are the vehicles available legally in the game? For the hoverboard and the flying broom, you need to complete a few challenges and be good at parkour. The broom is a bit easier: complete the “Baba Yaga” challenge at the VNC Tower. However, you can only get there after reaching the Central Loop.
To get the hoverboard, you need to go to the Cathedral of St. Paul on Saint Paul Island. Climb the church and enter the bell tower. There, you need to complete a series of tasks:
get a cable from the bottom of the tower
power the box at the top
go through a window one level down
interact with the radio/device there
pick up the first piece of the hoverboard that is lying there
use the survival sense and follow the displayed red trail
the second part is on the bridge in the southeastern corner of Muddy Grounds
the third part is in a trunk in the southwestern corner of Muddy Grounds
The bicycle remains somewhat more mysterious. User Taki7o7 claims to know at least 2 locations in the game where bicycles can be found. In one video, he shows one leaning against a tree on a high-rise building. To get it, he apparently has to kill himself. Whether that is true, we cannot confirm.
How else can you get the vehicles? Since the vehicles are apparently made for challenges, they shouldn’t actually work in the open world. However, there is a trick here.
Dying Light 2 can be expanded through mods. Mods change certain game contents or bring new ones in. In this case, there is a mod that brings the developer menu into the game (via NexusMods).
Through the menu, you can activate cheats (like “back in the day”, no tools like from shooters), change decisions, or spawn items. This way, players have apparently discovered the vehicles and obtained them.
If you’re having trouble reaching the locations with the hidden vehicles, we have some tips for you:
Is this the beginning of a particularly thrilling and atmospheric film series in Destiny 2? Quite possible, as the fan project “Destiny: Solas” has taken Bungie’s New Light entry to a new level. The short film series is exceptionally well-received in the community and is even better than the original.
For those new to Destiny 2, your first mission awaits you on Earth in the Cosmodrome.
You are a “New Light” and have no idea who you are.
There you will initially experience disturbing encounters with aliens who are not friendly.
However, when you find a weapon, you can defend yourself against them.
Your Ghost is always by your side, guiding you on the right path.
The mission itself is quite unspectacular and quickly completed. But those who take 20 minutes to watch this short film from a passionate player project can lean back and experience the entry into the Destiny universe from a new perspective. And it’s brilliantly emotional.

What makes the video so special? The video is a so-called “Immersiplay”, a unique mix of immersive role-playing, let’s plays, and scripted original Destiny gameplay. This means it blurs the boundaries between actual game content, as Destiny players typically play, and fabricated elements.
You feel like you’re watching an exciting series. Though one must say, not much has changed in the story itself. However, the events are better staged and more engaging.
Moreover, the series looks into the heart of Destiny 2. The new Guardian Vero Solas quickly finds friends on his mission who take him along and support him. Shortly thereafter, he is no longer alone but has found a community that accepts him as he is and welcomes him. But his adventure is just beginning.
Who is behind the project? The idea for this short film came from Destiny 2 player Gage Allen. He also works professionally in the creation of video game trailers and film sequences. He had the idea of making a real Destiny series for a long time.
I spent so much time tinkering and playing around with this idea to create a series that feels ridiculously cinematic and immersive. 6 years of experimenting, and I think Episode 1 here is a pretty good start. I have a weakness for Destiny, so it just felt right to take my love for this world and try to write something in it. I hope you enjoy it.
And what does the community say about it? Many players commented that they felt transported back to their early days by the video. They had almost forgotten what it’s like to find secrets around every corner, to explore the world while continuing to discover, and to make friends along the way.
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The story of this game is really cool and has never felt so accessible. Not only that, the direction, the framing, the voice acting… All the little things make a production feel as if we are all outstanding. I would pay for more of this.
The short film shows Destiny at its most beautiful
And Melissa finds the experience even better than the original from Bungie:
As someone who started playing Destiny for the first time last season, I would have given anything for a ghost like this to accompany me. I’ve learned more about the D2 lore/backstory from watching this one video than the game has ever given me. Beautifully produced!
Bungie has also taken notice of the brilliant production: The first episode of the series “Destiny: Solas” was declared by the community managers at Bungie the “Movie of the Week” in the official “This Week at Bungie” blog. A small accolade from the Destiny developers for enthusiastic fans.
The video seems to be a welcome change for some Guardians, especially after such a long season like this.
We are certainly looking forward to the second part. What about you? How do you feel about the fan project? Would you tune in to Episode 2 of the first “Destiny TV series” or would you rather play yourself and write your own story? Let us know.
