The PvP of Destiny 2 is not as relaxed as it used to be due to Stasis. Right now, Stasis Hunters are tough opponents and hard to counter. Until now. A player shared the perfect blocker move against the Ice Ultimate “Calm and Storm” of the Stasis Hunter.
In Destiny 2, there are various game modes and combinations. Players can freely combine them to create their own builds for any situation, such as for raids, strikes, or the Trials of Osiris, the weekly endgame PvP event.
Especially when it comes to Guardians against Guardians in the Crucible, one must also consider the intelligence of their opponent.
Players might spontaneously switch their loadout.
In a team, the right tactic can be match-deciding.
Communication is an underestimated team advantage to counter opponent tactics.
Knowledge about the abilities of opponents is essential.
A good counter is often crucial in the PvP of Destiny 2: That’s why it’s not a bad idea to know good counters for some of the most annoying builds and abilities. Here it’s always worth checking out the Destiny 2 Community, as proven by the video from keklordalmighty from a 6v6 PvP match. He plays Void Titan with ‘Dusk Shield’ and effortlessly ensures that three of his teammates are saved from certain ice death.

Why is this so cool: Stasis Hunters currently have one of the most annoying Supers in the game when it comes to PvP. These abilities are hard to counter or hardly counterable. Those who want to win have better chances with an Ice Hunter on their team. However, it seems that the Titan is now making a PvP comeback because he can coolly and casually stop the Ice Wrath of a Stasis Hunter. This shows how powerful the Bubble is against Stasis Hunters.
The player aGorillianBucks puts it succinctly under the post:
Incredible, you embody everything that a Titan is: a wall, a defender, and definitely a real nuisance for that Stasis Hunter.
If you need a few more tips to rock the Trials, check this out:
In fact, the Titan’s Bubble in Destiny 2 is not the first choice for a PvP match. But it is already the second time they can score in PvP.
The first time in the Trials Labs when Bungie tried out the elimination mode. Players had to capture random zones on the map. A Titan Bubble placed on the flag was almost always a guaranteed win.
The Titan Bubble also has disadvantages: While it is a good protection in many situations, it is not possible to shoot out of it. Additionally, the Titan Bubble is of course not indestructible. Players can counter it with their own ultimate accordingly.
Very effective examples include:
The Nova Bomb(top tree): Thrown at the Bubble it makes it burst and the Nova Seekers of the Warlocks kill the Titan and everyone inside.
The Golden Gun with Celestial Nighthawk (top tree): The shot guarantees to kill the Bubble.
Chaos Reach with Geomag Stabilizers: If the Warlock brings nearly the entire ultimate to the Bubble, it bursts.
Commander’s Code with Starfall Armor: This makes the Bubble and everything in the vicinity burst.
What is your best counter in PvP? Do you think the Titan Bubble is underestimated? Or do you prefer a Warlock with Well of Radiance because you can keep firing?

If you look at images of the three different factions in New World, you’ll find an interesting headpiece with the Syndicate – the ‘Plague Doctor’ mask. Not only does it look really cool, but it also has useful stats in the fight against the Corrupted. We at MeinMMO will reveal how you can obtain it.
How do you get the mask? The mask is part of the ‘Plague Doctor’ set, which is exclusive to players of the Syndicate faction.
As a prerequisite, you must reach the highest rank in the faction – the Alchemist. You achieve this rank by completing faction missions in PvE and PvP starting from 49,000 reputation points.
Once you’ve reached the highest rank, you can buy the epic armor set piece by piece. The mask costs you 30,000 faction tokens and 800 coins. It can only be worn by players of level 60 and cannot be traded with other players.
What stats does the mask have? The ‘Plague Doctor’ mask belongs to medium armor and provides you with the following stats:
535 armor rating
151 armor against elemental damage
113 armor against physical damage
22 constitution
13 corruption resistance
2.6% reduced cooldown
One free socket for gems
What about the rest of the set? The mask is just one part of the ‘Plague Doctor’ set. It consists of a total of 5 armor pieces. The iconic mask and the robe are also available as heavy armor.
The headpiece
The chest piece – 45,000 tokens and 1,200 coins
The gloves – 22,500 tokens and 600 coins
The pants – 37,500 tokens and 1,000 coins
The shoes – 15,000 tokens and 500 coins
We have included an overview of all set pieces here:
Set is inspired by 16th-century doctors
Where does the name of the set come from? In the 16th century, the term Plague Doctor was used to refer to the physicians who treated plague patients.
To protect themselves from the plague odor, they would stuff strong scents under their noses. This included the masks with the beak, which are now considered a trademark of these doctors.
What do you think of the set? Is that even a reason for you to play the Syndicate faction? Feel free to write it in the comments.
In League of Legends, one of the best German players is on the market. Tristan “PowerOfEvil” Schrage (23), the Midlaner of TSM, announced on Twitter that he is looking for a new LoL team.
Who is PowerOfEvil?
The 23-year-old German started his LoL career in 2014 for the team “EYES ON U”, moving through several teams in Europe but ended up as a Midlaner in the USA in 2018.
In the LCS, he worked his way up through stints at Optic Gaming, CLG, and FlyQuest to probably the most sought-after position in North American LoL: He became Midlaner at Team SoloMid, the largest and richest team in the LCS. There, he replaced the legendary Midlaner Bjergsen.
In the Summer Split 2021, PowerOfEvil was the starting Midlaner in the USA with the best KDA: He achieved a KDA of 4.7. The German Abbedagge followed with 4.5 in second place. Superstar Perkz came in fourth with 3.7.
Is he the best German LoL player? It is hard to say in LoL because you have to compare “cross-positionally”. It is difficult to compare a Midlaner like PowerOfEvil with a Botlaner like Upset (Fnatic) or a Support like Kaiser (MAD Lions) .
The advantage of PowerOfEvil is certainly his experience and that he has delivered consistently excellent performances over the years.
This is what he says now: PowerOfEvil is apparently on the market. He writes on Twitter that while talks are still ongoing with TSM, he is also looking at his options for 2022.
He is open to North America and Europe – no transfer fee is necessary.

A Midlaner has never stayed longer than one season with a team
Why is he leaving TSM? PowerOfEvil is a nomad in LoL: He has never played with any LoL team for longer than one season.
He actually still has a contract until 2022, but apparently, wanderlust has taken hold of him. This could also be due to the fact that his predecessor at TSM, Bjergsen, announced after a year as coach that he wants to play again: It is not clear whether Bjergsen is going back to TSM, but if PowerOfEvil leaves the team, that would likely be the case.
Where could he move? Where PowerOfEvil is headed seems currently open: The top team in Europe, G2, has issues everywhere, but they are well-staffed in the Midlane with Caps. For a team like MAD Lions, he could perhaps be an asset.
It is therefore quite possible that PowerOfEvil moves to a second-tier team to help bring them forward. On reddit, a move to “Evil Geniuses” is considered possible.
Bjergsen could be the predecessor and successor for PowerOfEvil at TSM.
If he really leaves TSM, it is probably quite certain that Bjergsen will return to TSM and that then a new legionnaire will be brought in for a lot of money, because then there will be a spot for a foreign player. On reddit, there is already speculation about which highly paid Korean superstar could be signed: Teddy, the ADC from T1, is among the names being discussed.
One should be curious where PowerOfEvil ultimately lands.
The bags of TSM are currently overflowing with crypto money:
Actually a small patch, the update 5.3.0 brings many changes to Dead by Daylight. A total of 14 killers will be changed – and there is also a new survivor.
The latest patch “Hour of the Witch” for Dead by Daylight is live. Even though the core of the chapter is the new survivor Mikaela Reid with her controversial “Boon perk”, the patch offers much more: a total of 14 killers are at least slightly revised and adjusted.
In addition, one of the most annoying elements of the game is disappearing: descriptions now use fixed numbers as values instead of vague descriptions like “moderate” or “drastic”.
This is what the survivor Mikaela Reid can do
Mikaela Reid is a “modern witch” who enjoys engaging in occult rituals, divination, and other mysterious incidents. Accordingly, her 3 perks reflect this. As with all survivors, the perks are initially only available to Mikaela but can be unlocked for all survivors through the blood web. Her 3 perks are:
Clairvoyance: The perk is activated when you cleanse a totem. If you are not carrying an item, you can use the “Active Ability” button. For up to 8 / 9 / 10 seconds, you can see the aura of all exit gates, generators, hooks, chests, and the hatch within a range of 64 meters.
Boon: Circle of Healing: Press and hold the “Active Ability” button on a dull or cursed totem to convert it into a blessing totem with a 24-meter radius. All survivors within the radius can self-heal without a med-kit and receive a 90% / 95% / 100% bonus to healing speed. Only one totem can be blessed at a time. All benefits of all boon perks are combined in this totem.
Boon: Shadow Step: Press and hold the “Active Ability” button on a dull or cursed totem to convert it into a blessing totem with a 24-meter radius. All survivors in the range leave no scratch marks, and their aura is not shown to the killer. The effect of the totem lasts for an additional 2 / 3 / 4 seconds after survivors leave the radius. Only one totem can be blessed at a time. All benefits of all boon perks are combined in this totem.
The developers have also addressed feedback from the PTB. The boon totems are no longer stackable, converting a hex totem into a boon totem now takes a substantial 24 seconds, and the base radius of these perks has been reduced by 4 meters. This should prevent ridiculous situations where survivors were simply immortal.

14 killers are being changed, Trapper and Pig benefit greatly
There are also plenty of adjustments for the killers – too many to cover in this article. Here’s a quick rundown of the most important changes; if you’re interested in all the details, we recommend the official patch notes on the official DbD forum.
This is what’s changing with the Trapper: The Trapper can now carry 2 traps by default, and 6 traps will spawn on each map. Almost all of his add-ons have been revised, allowing traps to reactivate themselves after a survivor has escaped, or the Trapper can even start with all 8 traps in his inventory at the beginning of the match.
This is what’s changing with the Wraith: The Wraith has been nerfed. The duration of his speed boost after appearing has been reduced by 20%, and his aura detection add-on now has a radius of only 8 meters (down from 12 meters).
This is what’s changing with the Hillbilly: The Hillbilly is receiving only a few small add-on adjustments to prevent his weapon overheating too quickly with certain add-ons. The other changes are negligible.
This is what’s changing with the Nurse: The Nurse is receiving a single add-on adjustment. The “Line of Sight” restriction of the “Torn Bookmark” is removed, but her special ability recharge time is increased by 50%.
This is what’s changing with the Shape: The Shape is getting a few add-on improvements. Thus, the Vanity Mirror will no longer impose a movement speed penalty, and Judith’s Tombstone will only slow him down while he is in Tier III of his ability. This officially marks the end of the popular meme of “Burger King Myers”, who moved particularly slowly.
Many killers receive changes.
This is what’s changing with the Hag: The Hag receives one change. The add-on Watterlogged Shoe now increases the killer’s movement speed to 4.6 m/s, or 115%. This allows the Hag to move as fast as most other killers.
This is what’s changing with the Pig: The Pig is set to undergo over a dozen add-on adjustments. She can now use add-ons to ensure that all survivors start the match with bear traps on their heads. Other add-ons ensure that survivors injure themselves on the Jigsaw boxes if they fail a skill check, or that the aura of generators is shown when survivors work on them while having a bear trap on their head.
This is what’s changing with the Spirit: The Spirit is getting nerfed. In the future, survivors will be able to hear which direction the killer is coming from during her special ability. As compensation, there are now also some more interesting add-ons that show survivors with a killer instinct effect when the Spirit passes by them. Moreover, this killer now has its own music for the terror radius.
This is what’s changing with the Plague: The Plague has received several improvements. She now moves faster during the cooldown of her ability, the duration of the corruption on items is longer, and survivors take longer to heal from their sickness at the well. Overall, her add-ons now offer more room for cool strategies – she can choose that her corruption no longer directly affects survivors but lasts 100% longer on items.
This is what’s changing with the Deathslinger: The Deathslinger receives adjustments that will likely weaken him somewhat. His terror radius grows from 24 meters to 32 meters, and he now has to wait for his entire “aiming” animation before he can shoot. However, he now moves faster while aiming, and some of his add-ons have been strengthened and no longer impose a slowdown.
This is what’s changing with Ghost Face: Ghost Face also receives a clear improvement. The cooldown of his ability has been reduced from 30 seconds to 24 seconds. Corresponding add-ons that also reduce cooldown have been slightly nerfed – overall, this is a clear buff that now allows for more varied add-ons.
This is what’s changing with the Blight: The Blight has only received two minor add-on adjustments. Particularly the improvements to the Summoning Stone now ensure that pallets will be blocked for a substantial 15 seconds, thus robbing survivors of more options to evade this killer.
This is what’s changing with the Oni: The Oni is also only receiving a small change, namely a nerf to the add-on Scalped Topknot. The reduction of the activation time of the “Demon Dash” is halved, making the add-on significantly less effective.
This is what’s changing with the Trickster: The Trickster is receiving just a small bug fix, as an add-on provided more benefits than originally intended. Therefore, Ji-Woon’s Autograph is slightly nerfed, now requiring only one less blade instead of 2.
Lastly, most add-ons have had confusing and unclear terms like “moderate” or “drastic” removed. Instead, there are now clear indications in seconds of exactly what an add-on provides and how significant the advantages and disadvantages are. This provides more clarity and resolves the issue where players had to either spend hours experimenting or simply Google what each value meant.
The Trapper is finally a true master of traps again.
Changes to the Hatch
The most important change for survivors concerns the hatch, also called the fall door or in English “Hatch”. Until now, the hatch appeared once more generators were repaired than survivors still in the game. This has now changed.
The hatch now only appears when one survivor remains and all others have died or escaped.
It is thus no longer possible to “camp” at the hatch and hope that the other survivor dies. The hatch is now truly a last resort for escape and can no longer be “planned” to save the entire team.
More news about Dead by Daylight can be found here:
The patch also brought a number of small changes – as the Stranger Things characters will soon be disappearing. Until November 17, you can purchase Nancy, Steve, and the Demogorgon; after that, they will no longer be available. However, those who own the characters can continue to use them.
As the license with Netflix expires, the perks of all three characters have also been renamed and converted into general perks. So do not be surprised if “Inner Strength” suddenly becomes “Inner Healing” – this fate has befallen all perks of the three characters.
What do you think of all the changes that were in this patch? Good and sensible adjustments? Or way too much at once?

The MMORPG Elyon celebrates its release today, on October 20. We at MeinMMO are giving away 300 exclusive mounts, which can currently only be obtained through giveaways.
Update October 21, 11:11 AM: Since the 200 keys from yesterday’s giveaway were snapped up very quickly, we have received a new batch from Kakao Games. Here are an additional 300 keys for the exclusive mount in Elyon.
Update 6:57 PM: There was an issue with the keys, where they were rejected as “invalid” by Elyon. This should now be fixed. Everyone who has already registered can submit their key again to receive the mount. If there are still issues, please contact us in the Discord feedback channel.
What kind of mount is this? The Red Parrot Mount is, as the name suggests, a red parrot that you can ride through the game world.

This is what the mount looks like in-game.
How can I win the mount? To get a mount key, you first need a MeinMMO account. Log in, reload the page, and you will see a registration window further down. Register through this window for the giveaway, and the key is yours.
Depending on the number of registrations, it may take a while for your key to arrive via email. So please be patient.
What is Elyon? The new MMORPG from Korea was originally announced as Ascent: Infinite Realm and has gone through many changes. For example, the combat system has been almost completely overhauled, tab-targeting has been removed, and the game has become action-oriented.
Additionally, the classes and skill trees have been extensively revised, offering more depth and more diverse builds.
In the MMORPG, two rival factions, Vulpin and Ontari, fight for control over the mysterious portal Elyon, which is meant to lead them to paradise. You will carve your way through raids, dungeons, and especially through the massive “Realm vs. Realm” battles, which are set to be one of Elyon’s highlights.
We are covering the launch of the new MMORPG in a live ticker:
Blizzard continues to investigate its games for inappropriate references: This time it affects the NPC “Gorge the Corpsegrinder” in WoW. The Orc is based on the musician George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher, frontman of the band “Cannibal Corpse.” In an interview in 2007, he said he passionately plays World of Warcraft, but he considers the Alliance a bunch of “emo faggots.”
Which NPC is it about? The NPC “Gorge the Corpsegrinder” (German: Gortsch der Leichenmalmer) is an NPC in Garrosh’s Landing, an area from the 2008 expansion “Wrath of the Lich King.”
The NPC is a clear reference to the musician George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher.
This is the change: As reported by Wowhead, the character will be renamed with the WoW Patch 9.1.5. From now on, he will be called “Annihilator Grek’lor.”
Musician loves WoW, hates the Alliance
Why is Blizzard renaming him? The musician gave an interview in 2007 (via youtube). There he emphasizes his love for WoW, saying he has 4 accounts with 7 characters at the then max level 70, takes his laptop on tour, and always plays. He doesn’t just play WoW, it is his “damn life.”
But then the interview derailed:
I don’t play damn Alliance. I don’t play fucking Night Elves and Gnomes. There are only damn Orcs and Undead! Screw the Alliance! Die, you damn emo faggots.
George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher
Apparently, Blizzard originally named the NPC after the musician because they were aware of his passion for WoW. However, they have now decided to remove the reference from WoW, as it is no longer considered acceptable in 2021.
The background for the change is a sexism lawsuit that Blizzard faced. Subsequently, employees announced that they would examine games for references that no longer align with Blizzard’s values.
This makes the change spicy: In 2011, there was already an uproar over exactly this video: During BlizzCon 2011, Blizzard played a heavily censored version of the interview (via youtube).
Afterward, so many people complained about the inappropriate interview that the head of Blizzard, Mike Morhaime, had to apologize for playing the video during a concert of the Blizzard band, Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain. That was insensitive and shortsighted.
However, Morhaime’s apology had no impact on the game at the time: The NPC remained unchanged in WoW for more than a decade. That has now come to an end.
New World is currently experiencing an economic crisis. The Taler, the in-game currency, is simply too rare and is needed for too many things. That’s why players are now starting to trade their goods in cities instead of selling them at the trading post.
What is the problem with the economy in New World? Most MMORPGs experience strong inflation over time. Prices rise because players can generate endless gold and can hardly spend it.
However, in New World, the opposite is currently happening. It’s hard to come by many Talers in the game, and at the same time, there are many fees and ongoing costs that players have to pay.
How are players reacting to this? Some players have now begun to trade their goods directly with other players. As reddit user Puffelpuff reports, about 1,000 linen is being traded for 600 iron bars and 20 eggs on his server.
No trading taxes apply in this way, and players do not have to give away any of their rare Talers to another player.
The material system is well thought out, but there is a lack of Taler sources
Is the problem caused by crafting? No, because New World actually has a well thought out system for crafting and materials.
Since materials from starting areas are constantly needed to craft higher crafting materials and ultimately endgame items, they remain constantly relevant and should actually have a stable price.
If you need steel bars in New World, you first have to produce iron bars. This ensures that older materials remain important.
What is the problem then? Mainly that there are too few sources for Talers:
Quests provide too few rewards, especially in the endgame
Monsters hardly drop Talers
Found equipment can only be disassembled, but not sold to an NPC for money
At the same time, there are many fees that players have to pay in New World, including rent for houses, taxes at the trading post, and even a fee for crafting.
Since some settlements impose exorbitant taxes on these things, players in the endgame are running out of money. Those who own 3 houses to travel faster and more comfortably can hardly keep up with farming Talers for the rent.
What does the future look like? If Amazon does not intervene, prices will continue to fall. At some point, many players could even reach a scenario where they have almost no quests left in the endgame. This would push the Taler down even further and could even cost them their house.
Suddenly, players who hoarded their Talers during the leveling process and do not own any houses could become the richest people in New World.
However, it is more likely that Amazon will tackle the deflation with a fix or at the latest with new content. After all, some players could be frustrated that they have achieved the highest level in crafting but cannot earn any money.
How do you see the economy in New World right now? Do you also have problems with too few Talers?
In addition to the economy, New World also has several other issues that we have summarized here:
The new WoW book has been postponed again – and probably also the release date of Patch 9.2. We still have to wait almost half a year.
The community of World of Warcraft has to deal with another bad omen. The upcoming WoW book has been postponed again. However, this could also mean that the next major content patch of World of Warcraft is being pushed further into the future.
Patch 9.2 could therefore still be over 5 months away.
What happened? The next book about World of Warcraft, simply titled “Sylvanas” by Christie Golden, has been postponed again. After the release was originally moved from November 2021 to February 2022, there has now been another change. According to current plans, the Sylvanas book will now be released in English on March 29, 2022. The German version will generally follow a few weeks or months later.
What does this have to do with WoW? In the past, Blizzard has often ensured that books are released in time with important events in the game, such as an intro to a new expansion or as a link between two expansions.
The fact that the Sylvanas book is now being postponed again could be an indication that the next major patch 9.2 – which is sure to reveal new aspects of Sylvanas’ story – has also been delayed. A new release date for the book could therefore coincide with a release date for the patch.
The Sylvanas book with the new release date on Amazon. Image source: wowhead
This is of course not confirmed by Blizzard, and an official statement regarding Patch 9.2 will probably only come in a few months after Patch 9.1.5 is released.
More news about World of Warcraft and Blizzard can be found here:
What does this mean for WoW players? Probably not much good. Patch 9.1.5 brings some minor innovations, but is heavily criticized for “too little, too late.” As a result, players of World of Warcraft are heading towards a new content drought, which will likely cast Shadowlands in an even worse light.
Because there won’t be any really new content – like raids, a new area, or dungeons – until Patch 9.2. Since Blizzard has been struggling with delays throughout the entire “Shadowlands” expansion while also dealing with the fallout of a huge sexism scandal, it seems that work is once again delayed.
Were you already looking forward to the book? Do you believe that it is related to Patch 9.2? Or could there be other reasons?

Since the evening of October 20th, there is a new Limited Research in Pokémon GO. This is content brought by Niantic to apologize to you. One of the Halloween contents did not function correctly.
What kind of research is this? If you now open your Pokémon GO app, you will find a new research under the “Today” overview named “Limited Research”. Some trainers are confused about what the tasks involve. However, the developers explained that it is a kind of apology.
Because the development of Galar-Slowking has been faulty in recent days, frustrating some players.
Limited Research from October 20 – What’s inside?
Here are the tasks: The requirements are quite straightforward. After just one chapter, you will have completed the new research:
Catch 1 Pokémon
Reward: 10 Poké Balls
Catch 3 Pokémon
Reward: 50 Slowpoke candies
Catch 5 Pokémon
Reward: 1 Incense
Stage Reward: If you successfully complete all tasks and claim the rewards, you will receive an additional 1,000 Stardust, 1,000 experience points, and an encounter with Galar-Slowpoke.
From now on, you can again evolve your Galar-Slowpoke into Galar-Slowking without issues. And this is how the evolution works:
Here was the problem: For the Halloween event 2021, Niantic activated the new evolution of Galar-Slowpoke to Galar-Slowking. For many trainers, this evolution is considered one of the highlights of the spooky event. Accordingly, the mood was poor when the news about the broken evolution spread in the community.
Some trainers evolved their Galar-Slowpoke with the corresponding requirements using the button for the Galar-Slowking evolution, but received Galar-Snorlax instead.
Niantic explained that the error was on their part. On Twitter, the developers wrote on October 20:
“Trainers, we thank you again for your patience while we resolved the issue with the Galar-Slowpoke evolution. As compensation for the inconveniences, a limited-time research is now available to all trainers.”
With this new Limited Research, Niantic apologizes for the development issues.
The server transfer in New World is live. We show you how to transfer your character to other worlds and servers in New World.
What is it about? In the first days after the release of New World, the game struggled with endlessly long queues. To counteract this problem, many more servers were opened. To enable you to play with your friends now, New World offers free server transfers for your character.
Update from October 20: With the new Update 1.0.3, server transfers became available in New World today.
New World: How can I transfer my character?
This is how the server transfer works:
Log in to the game with the character you want to transfer
Go with the character to a safe place like a settlement or outpost
Leave your current company
Remove all active buy and sell orders at the trading post
Open the game’s shop and select “World Transfer” on the left side
Click the button for the Free World Transfer
Select “Buy” at the bottom (a free world transfer is available to you)
Then select the world you want to transfer your character to from the list
In the next window, you can confirm the transfer with “Confirm Transfer”
You will then be logged out and redirected to the main menu
In the following video, you can see how the character transfer works in New World:

Which worlds can I choose? In your region, you can generally choose any world as the destination for your transfer. However, this does not apply to worlds that are already full, those currently undergoing maintenance, or those in world sets where characters from your account already exist.
What do I take with me during the character transfer? Your entire character progress including level, weapon mastery, titles, and so on will be transferred. You will also take the following with you:
Inventory and storage contents
Gold and other in-game currencies
Housing and decorations
Progress on quests
What is lost during the character transfer? Since you must leave your company before the transfer, it will not be transferred. You should also remove your active buy and sell orders, as they will not be carried over during the transfer.
Additionally, your friend lists only apply to the specific worlds you play on – they are not transferred to other worlds.
Oops, I chose the wrong world: If you have chosen the wrong world for transfer for whatever reason, there is currently no additional free transfer available. Another transfer requires a new token. However, Amazon wants to monitor and evaluate the situation:
In the patch notes (via newworld.com), the team writes:
Another transfer requires another token. Our team will monitor world populations and queue times and evaluate the necessity of whether another issuance of free server transfer tokens is sensible. Once we are sure that players have had enough time to find the right server for themselves, we will offer server transfer tokens for purchase in the shop. We will notify you in advance when the tokens can also be purchased for a fee.
Server switches in New World repeatedly postponed
This is how it went recently: On October 16, Amazon stated that slightly more time was needed for the feature. They plan to release server transfers in the current week. The developers do not specify a concrete date.
This was initially planned: In the patch notes for New World from October 6, the team states that the feature for server transfers was to be activated during the week of October 10. However, due to technical difficulties, the release has now been postponed by one week – to October 17.
We have implemented the foundations for character-server transfer, and you can see elements of this work in the in-game shop. We continue to work on this feature and will have more information about how the system works later this week when we release server transfers.
This is how it should proceed: In a forum post on October 9, the development team explains how exactly the transfers work and mentions that more time is needed for additional tests. However, they are aiming for a release in the week of October 17.
Some elements should be visible immediately after today’s patch. However, the function will not be released until the server transfer is completely developed.
Switching between regions, world set, and more information
Is a regional server switch possible? In the New World community, players are asking whether the free server transfer could also allow switching between regions.
“We do not have a system for regional switching. You can play in any region, but you have to start with a new character from scratch,” explains Camulos from customer support in the New World forum. You can read more about the rules and possibilities for switching:
Does the world set matter? In a response from Camulos, players learn that the world sets do not matter for the server transfer. The employee mentions that you could choose a server, but only with the regional restrictions.
What does this mean? You cannot switch between AP Southeast, SA East, US West, US East, and EU Central. However, you can switch within a region, like from Fomax (world set Vanaheim Air) to Ravenal (world set Vanaheim Rho).
Why is the switch necessary? The New World team wanted to ensure that everyone could log in quickly, especially during the time after release when hundreds of thousands wanted to play. To achieve this, many new servers were brought online and the capacities of existing servers were increased.
Players created characters on servers with low player counts during this time so they could log in without long queues. Often with the disadvantage of not being able to play with their friends. With the free server transfer, players can think carefully about whether they want to switch to their friends and play together on a populated server, or settle down on a smaller server.
Have you considered using the server transfer to play on a server with high population or low population with your friends?
Today marks the start of the new MMORPG Elyon (PC) on Steam and in its own client. We at MeinMMO are accompanying the launch with a live ticker and will answer your questions about the game in the comments.
Update 1:20 PM: We have created a short video to introduce you to Elyon again:
Update October 21 7:50 AM: Scheduled maintenance work has been announced for today. It will run from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. We will update the ticker accordingly if the maintenance extends.
Update 7:30 PM: The queue on Andromeda is now at nearly 90 minutes. Over 3,000 players are waiting to enter. The number of players alone on Steam has also grown to over 13,000. However, Elyon also uses its own client, which can be downloaded directly from Kakao Games.
Update 6:00 PM: Unfortunately, we had to take the giveaway for the mounts offline. The keys we received from Kakao Games are invalid for an unclear reason. We will let you know when the issue has been resolved.
The people who have already won a key will definitely get a key as soon as we are supplied with new ones. It’s currently the middle of the night in Korea, so this may take some time.
Update 5:50 PM: The servers were temporarily down but are now back online.
Update 5:45 PM: The queue is currently about 50 minutes. However, a second EU server named Sagittarius has been added. You can play there directly.
Update 5:12 PM: Now there are indeed the first queues. Currently, the wait time is 30 minutes – trending upward.
Update 4:50 PM: In-game, there are already a lot of players who have completed the tutorial and are milling about in the starting area.
This is what it currently looks like in the starting area.
Update 4:40 PM: The MMORPG is currently running stable, and there are no queues yet. However, as there is only one European server, it is possible that this will change over the course of the day.
Update 4:20 PM: The launch is now set for 4:30 PM, as the developers have communicated on Discord.
Update 3:49 PM: The maintenance is being extended. However, there is currently no information on how long the launch will be delayed.
Update 3:40 PM: Elyon is still undergoing maintenance. Anyone who has already downloaded the client for the head start must download a new patch. It took us about 5 minutes.
When does it start? Elyon celebrates its official release on October 20 at 4:00 PM local time. Then all players can try the new MMORPG, as it is free to play.
Previously, a head start took place on October 17, but only those who paid in advance could participate.
What happens here in the live ticker? We will accompany the launch of Elyon and keep you updated on any server problems, queues, and other issues. So if you want to play Elyon today, you should follow this post.
The game is currently in maintenance, so even head start players cannot play. This maintenance runs from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. We will report live on the state of the game starting at about 3:30 PM.
At the focus of the game is the action-packed combat system, which resembles a mix of TERA and Black Desert. This allows you to grind in the open world, complete dungeons, and participate in various PvP activities. This includes fights in the open world at higher levels.
Additionally, it offers a special system where all skills can adapt to your playstyle.
A detailed overview of the contents of Elyon can be found in this article:
The Battle Royale Warzone is facing its biggest change yet. With the new Call of Duty: Vanguard, Warzone takes over many gameplay elements and may become a completely different game. We will show you how this could affect loadouts on MeinMMO.
With Call of Duty: Warzone, the popular shooter series has created a free title that connects the annual paid CoD games. Warzone adopts parts of the setting and creates connections in the story. The Battle Royale even allows you to use cosmetics from the main games and gets all the new weapons from each title.
Call of Duty: Vanguard takes this “connectedness” to the extreme. Warzone will get the fresh graphics engine from CoD 2021, including a new, large Pacific-style map. The exact details of the integration are not finalized yet. However, we want to take a look with you at what a loadout in Warzone could look like after the transition to Vanguard.
Warzone loadouts in Vanguard – A thought experiment
How do loadouts change with Vanguard? The basic conditions likely won’t change. You will navigate to the “Weapons” tab and can adjust your loadouts just like in the past years of Call of Duty. The view of the complete loadout also feels familiar:
This is what the loadouts looked like in the Vanguard beta.
The devil is in the details. While the loadouts will visually resemble those of the past, the way they are assembled will change. And the changes might be drastic. We will go through the individual points with you:
Gunsmith
Perks
Grenades
Tactical Equipment
Field Upgrades
The Gunsmith: 10 Attachments as the New Standard
How does the Gunsmith change with Vanguard? The weapons from the new Call of Duty are said to be significantly more flexible than in its two predecessors, Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare. There will be a total of 10 attachment slots, with each slot able to be equipped with an attachment. Instead of 5, we will have 10 attachments in Vanguard.
Currently, the first Vanguard weapons are already available in the “Cold War” Warzone, and this strengthens the hints that this 10-attachment system will also make its way to “Warzone: Pacific”. The laser attachments may no longer play a role with the new weapons, and extra attachments from Modern Warfare might return:
In the blueprint version of the StG 44, which you can already organize in Warzone, you will find the ammunition type attachment in the laser slot. The long-range ammunition shown here would then increase the bullet velocity of the weapon, for example.
Since new weapons in Warzone have always matched the number and selection of attachments one-to-one with those from the premium titles, the ammunition types will likely also come to the Battle Royale. This would introduce a few new gameplay elements to Warzone:
Subsonic – Works like a silencer
Fragile – Enemies are slowed
Incendiary – Ammunition with fire damage
Hollow Point – No reduced damage to extremities
What advantages or disadvantages this will ultimately bring is still difficult to assess. However, weapon balancing will likely not be easy if the firearms want to be this flexible. This problem has already occurred with the weapons from Cold War and Modern Warfare.
The “Cold War” weapons are often considered stronger because they generally provide better mobility. However, there are a few strong extra attachments for the weapons from CoD MW. There is currently no real balance between the weapons.
What happens to the old weapons in Warzone? The weapons and your blueprints will remain in the game, that much is certain. However, how the Gunsmith will function is still unknown. So far, it appears that the weapons will remain as they are.
An FFAR 1 from Cold War or M4A1 from Modern Warfare keeps all of its attachments and you can equip only 5 attachments. The models of the weapons will be implemented into the new Vanguard engine and everything stays as usual.
The other possibility would be a standardization, similar to what has already happened with Cold War. Here, the “Third Barrel Attachment” of a weapon class always has the same function. This was different in Modern Warfare. Such an adjustment would facilitate a general balancing, but would also require many adjustments.
Then there is still the question of whether the old weapons might also adopt the new 10-attachment system. There are still many questions to clarify.
The Perks: Ghost and Overkill Separated
How do the Perks change with Vanguard? When you build a loadout in Warzone today, the first question arises: Ghost or Overkill?
With Ghost, you hide from heartbeat sensors and drones
Overkill allows a second primary weapon in the loadout
If Warzone transitions to the Vanguard engine, that could change – Ghost and Overkill are in 2 different perk categories. Currently, Overkill is set in the Vanguard Warzone, as there is only a little competition in that slot. The perk belongs to the yellow category “Bonus & Equipment” and shares the space here with bonuses for grenades or sprinting.
Everyone could then directly grab their 2 primary weapons with the first loadout and also get Ghost – if they even want that.
However, due to the change of conditions, the currently very strong perk could become less appealing. The heartbeat sensor is currently the best tactical item because it allows you to detect enemies without Ghost. Whether this sensor still exists is doubtful.
You can read about which perks for Vanguard are already known and what data miners have discovered here:
How will grenades change with Vanguard? According to current standards, the biggest change is that the Claymore is now part of the tactical equipment in Vanguard. Additionally, the targeted Claymore mines will disappear.
Furthermore, the Semtex grenade, known as the “gambler bomb,” no longer has a timer but explodes immediately on impact. C4 only receives a cosmetic update and a bundle of dynamite – but can still be operated via a remote detonator.
Tactical Equipment: Bye Bye Heartbeat Sensor
How does tactical equipment change in Vanguard? As mentioned, the “S-Mine 44” will become part of the tactical equipment, seemingly replacing the proximity and Claymore mines. However, the biggest change revolves around another item in that category: the heartbeat sensor.
If Warzone really adopts the gameplay of Vanguard, there will be no more heartbeat sensor. The item currently shows you when enemies without the “Ghost” perk are within a 50-meter range.
The removal of the heartbeat sensor would strip away an important mechanic of Warzone and allow for significantly fewer scouting options. A small change with a huge impact – also on the relevance of the “Ghost” perk, which would become less important.
Bonus: Field Upgrades
Unlike in multiplayer, you do not choose field upgrades in the normal battle royale of Warzone beforehand; instead, you find them during matches. In the Vanguard beta, some of these gadgets were already visible:
Supply Box – Provides ammunition and equipment
Armor Plate – Gives you some body armor
Goliath – Explosive mini-tank to control
Directional Microphone – Shows nearby enemies on the mini-map
Dead Silence – Silences footsteps briefly, weapons and knife kills reset the timer
The Trophy System, which intercepts grenades and rockets, may disappear completely. Vehicles would therefore be significantly more vulnerable to missile fire. It is also likely that “Special Ammunition” could vanish, as the weapons from Vanguard have their own ammunition types.
Whether the small drone or the ballistic shield will be included is also currently doubtful.
When does Warzone change? There is currently no exact date yet. Vanguard will be released on November 5, and so far it seems likely that Warzone will transition to the new engine with the start of Vanguard’s first season.
However, there is no date yet for the season start. The current Season 6, the last live season of Black Ops Cold War, ends on December 2, and there is speculation that Season 1 of Vanguard will start then.
Officially, it only says: this year near the Vanguard release.
How likely is a complete transition to the Vanguard mechanics? Many details about the transition are still unknown. However, during the stream for the multiplayer reveal of Vanguard, Creative Director Amos Hodge from developer Raven Software stated:
With the release of Vanguard, we want to ensure that the game feel and character of the game reach into Warzone beyond the multiplayer experience.
This could mean that the feel of multiplayer served as a model for how Warzone should feel after the “merger” with Vanguard. Trophy systems and heartbeat sensors seem to fit less into this picture. The mix with the modern weapons would fit – because there are also weapons in multiplayer, regardless of the year of manufacture.
How does the new evolution from Galar-Slowpoke to Galar-Slowking in Pokémon GO work? We’ll show you in the guide.
What’s new? In Pokémon GO, since the start of the Halloween event in 2021, the new Slowpoke evolution from Galar-Slowpoke to Galar-Slowking has been active.
We’ll explain what requirements the evolution to the new wizard Pokémon has so that you can evolve it without any issues.
Update from October 21, 2021: The evolution from Galar-Slowpoke to Galar-Slowking now works without any issues. Niantic has fixed the bug that cost trainers the evolution.
Evolution to Galar-Slowking – What you need to do
This is how the evolution works: If you want to evolve Galar-Slowpoke to Galar-Slowking, you must:
Choose Galar-Slowpoke as your buddy
Catch 30 Psychic-type Pokémon while Galar-Slowpoke is your buddy
Have 50 Slowpoke candies for the evolution
If you have met these requirements and select Slowking as the evolution button in your Galar-Slowpoke overview, the following preview window will no longer show a question mark.
What you need to pay attention to: If you have caught a Galar-Slowpoke and select it in your collection, you will see an evolution with the silhouette of Galar-Slowking (recognized by the shell crown) at the bottom of the evolution options.
In the next window, a question mark may then be displayed on the right side of the Pokémon preview. If this is the case for you, you should not evolve it. Because you still lack the requirements.
This bug existed: Many trainers could not evolve Galar-Slowpoke to Galar-Slowking. (As of October 15 at 1:10 PM). For them, Galar-Slowpoke evolved to Galar-Politoed.

For the error with the evolution, Niantic started a new limited research that provided trainers with Slowpoke candies and also an encounter with Galar-Slowpoke. So you can conduct another evolution.
Could the bug be worked around? On reddit , trainers explained that the evolution works if you walk 2 kilometers with Galar-Slowpoke in addition to the official requirements as your buddy. However, this is not a requirement on Niantic’s official blog.
Have you already successfully evolved Galar-Slowpoke to Galar-Slowking? Did you try it with the 2 kilometers or did the evolution succeed for you due to another requirement?
Share your experiences with us here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers in the community.

The former eSports caster Jack “CouRage” Dunlop is a legend in Call of Duty. However, in recent weeks, he has completely immersed himself in New World and streams it almost daily on YouTube. Yet the wars for territories, which should actually be so much fun for him, are currently just causing frustration.
What is the problem? CouRage has expressed negativity regarding the wars in New World in several tweets. However, he does not mind the massive number of false reports that lead to bans, nor the lags caused by AoE attacks.
CouRage complains that the Syndicate faction on his server supposedly has four times the number of players. Meanwhile, there are 6 larger streamers fighting against him. This makes it impossible to wage a reasonable war against the Syndicate.
That’s why he now wants to send a tweet to the developers every day to remind them of the balance problem:

Is this really a problem? Yes, on almost all servers, either one faction dominates or two are fighting for supremacy, while the third faction is completely left behind. Currently, there is also no function that helps an inferior group, such as through buffs or cheaper declarations of war.
In fact, new players can even see which faction dominates on their server before they join a faction. This often leads to more players joining the “winning faction”.
The unbalanced factions are generally one of the major points of criticism players currently have against New World:
Where does CouRage currently see a solution? On Twitter, the streamer was asked what his approaches for a solution to the problem would be and whether a fourth faction would help.
CouRage denied this and instead suggested that there should be a maximum number of players who can do PvP quests for a faction while being in an arena. This would at least make declaring war easier.

Another possibility would be that the costs for attackers increase the more often they unsuccessfully attack the same territory. This would reduce the attacks themselves. Additionally, a portion of the costs incurred by attackers should go to the defenders to reward them more.
What do you think about his suggestions and what do you generally think about the problems with faction balance? Feel free to write it in the comments.
CouRage is a CoD legend, but now is addicted to New World
Who is CouRage anyway? Jack “CouRage” Dunlop is a 27-year-old American who started his career as an intern at Major League Gaming.
Later, he moved to Activision Blizzard and became a host and commentator for the professional league of Call of Duty. He is now an active streamer on YouTube and has over 3 million subscribers there. He is also part of the clan “100 Thieves”.
How active does he play New World? Since the release, CouRage has already streamed New World on 13 days – sometimes for up to 12 hours straight. On October 13th, he reached the max level 60 and has since experienced the highest dungeons, invasions, and some wars.
On Twitter, CouRage shared that he would love to play New World for 16 hours a day.

On the occasion of an important holiday in the history of the Fallout universe, the survival spin-off Fallout 76 is currently free to play. We at MeinMMO show you what the game is about and who should take a look.
What is Fallout 76? After a brief but intense nuclear war, the USA and possibly even the whole world lie in ruins. You are among the few survivors who managed to find safety in one of the protected vaults.
As some of the first to return to the surface, you are now tasked with cleaning up and rebuilding the USA – starting in Appalachia, West Virginia. This is where Fallout 76 begins, in which you slowly reclaim the nuclear wasteland.
The day the atomic bombs ultimately fell is October 23rd. This date is both a reminder and a holiday in the Fallout universe. With this date also approaching in our world, Fallout 76 is hosting a free week where you can try out the survival game for free.
How long is Fallout 76 free to play? The promotion started on October 19th and ends after a week on October 25th.
During this period, you can try out the entire scope of the game. If you purchase Fallout 76 afterwards, you can carry over your progress.
Here is a trailer for the Day of the Atomic Bomb:

Who should take a look? Fallout 76 is particularly suitable for people who want to get into the survival genre. One of the reasons for this is the community. Most veterans will greet you warmly and help you get started.
Some may even provide you with gear. As in any game, there are people here who want to ruin the fun. Overall, however, you will mostly encounter helpful wastelanders.
Additionally, the PvP mechanics are hardly relevant, so enemies cannot “grief” or kill you if you don’t want them to. This makes exploration easier at least in terms of other players.
If you also love the Fallout universe, you will find enjoyment in Fallout 76. The game delivers the typical quirky humor and bizarre sci-fi weapons, armors, and mutants.
Thanks to the camp system, fans of their own housing can let loose, designing it according to their wishes. However, the camps are not limited to just shelters; you can also build all sorts of other things with them.
For instance, one player repeatedly built elaborate traps to take other players out. Restaurants and own vault bunkers are also possible with the camp system. You can easily pack the camps up and take them to other locations.
Big Halloween Event and celebration for the Day of the Atomic Bomb announced
What is happening right now in Fallout 76? On the occasion of the Day of the Atomic Bomb and Halloween, which is just around the corner, Fallout 76 has announced numerous events and promotions.
With the latest update from October 19th, Fallout 76 is adorned with spooky decorations, and even the Scorched (zombie-like creatures) are roaming around in Halloween costumes. If you take them out, there is special loot to be had. There’s also an event centered around collecting candy.
In addition, there are daily and weekly challenges that bring you special rewards:
Consumables
Skill card packs
Lunchboxes
Repair kits
S.C.O.R.E.
Halloween costumes.
Completing both weekly challenges will reward you with a popcorn machine for your camp. You can find more information about the event in the announcement (via fallout.bethesda.net).
In addition to these promotions, there will also be a weekend with double chances for legendary scripts, weapons, and armors.
How long do the Halloween activities last? The events have been running since October 19th and end on November 2nd.
What do you think of the free promotion? Will you give Fallout 76 a chance? Are you still playing actively? Or do you think nothing of the Fallout MMO?

The TOTW 5 in FIFA 22 is now known. We show you which players made it into the new Team of the Week.
What is the TOTW? In the TOTW, players who have made notable performances in real-life football are featured each week. They receive a so-called “Inform” card that reflects this performance.
Additionally, there is always a “Featured” card in the new TOTW. This represents a weaker player who receives a few extra rating points.
How to get TOTW cards? You can pull TOTW cards from packs, but you will need a lot of luck for that. Alternatively, you can find the Inform cards on the FUT transfer market, but they cost quite a bit. We show you how to get the necessary coins in our trading tips.
The TOTW 5 in FIFA 22 – All Inform players
This is the TOTW 5: The new Team of the Week offers a range of strong cards that should be particularly interesting for Bundesliga teams. Besides Gnabry (86) and Kramaric (85), Szczesny (88), Ilicic (86), and Firmino (86) have also received high ratings.
The featured player for this week is Damian Suarez from FC Getafe. He receives a strong upgrade from 78 to 84.

The Bundesliga in TOTW 5
These Bundesliga players are involved: This week, four Bundesliga players have made it into the new TOTW.
Bayern’s Serge Gnabry scored 2 goals over the weekend and is now rewarded with a TOTW card. The new card offers improvements mainly in passing and physicality.
Matthias Ginter receives an interesting new card this week with an overall rating of 86. While the new card is still a bit slow, it shines with top stats in defense (88) and physicality (82).
Jude Bellingham makes a significant leap with his first Inform card in FUT 22 to an 82 rating. He has solid stats in all areas, which should be interesting for many players with Bundesliga teams.
Hoffenheim’s Ante Kramaric gets an interesting Inform upgrade and now offers very strong shooting stats and decent dribbling stats.
Are you satisfied with the TOTW, or do you think other players should be featured in the Team of the Week? Let us know in the comments!

The Cycle: Frontier is a shooter from the Berlin studio YAGER, which has now officially entered beta on Steam and the Epic Games Store. While player numbers on Steam are currently quite low, the game is ranked 2nd in the trends on Twitch.
What kind of game is The Cycle? The new free-to-play shooter is reminiscent of a mix between a survival game and Hunt: Showdown:
You spawn on a vast map after entering the game. You can stay there as long as you want, although the server restarts every 6 hours.
The focus is on collecting equipment as well as resources like ores.
Like in Hunt: Showdown, you lose your equipment if you die. You only keep the loot if you successfully make it to the rescue ship during your game session.
To keep you entertained, there’s a social hub with various factions that give you missions. Through these, you can unlock new weapons and upgrades.
This new trailer gives you an insight into the game:
What is the current status of the game? Since September 30, 2021, The Cycle: Frontier has been in beta. You can request access on Steam or the Epic Store. More detailed information about the beta and the contents of the shooter can be found here:
The gameplay of the shooter seems to be well received. Because although the player numbers are still small, the first larger streamers have become aware of the game.
The Cycle is ranked 2nd in Twitch trends
Where does the game currently stand on Steam? In the last 3 days, The Cycle has achieved some initial successes on Twitch. With nearly 1.1 million streamed hours, the game ranks only 23rd in all categories on Twitch, but hardly any other game has reported such strong growth.
In the previous 3 days, it was only viewed for about 200,000 hours.
In the last 3 days, The Cycle ranks 2nd among trending games, right behind Fortnite. The trends are based on how many viewers the game has gained compared to the previous 3 days.
The number of channels streaming The Cycle has also increased significantly. On October 15, there were only about 25 channels online at the same time, but by October 19, there were over 250, or ten times as many.
The number of simultaneous viewers (left) and the channels streaming The Cycle (right) – via Sullygnome.
Where do the viewers come from? The biggest boost for The Cycle came from streamer Jaryd “summit1g” Lazar, who is among the top 30 streamers on Twitch.
He is known for trying different games and has spent over 33 hours live with the new shooter.
One of the highlights was a kill from a player who had called him a “fool” over the in-game voice chat.

His longest session, lasting over 11 hours on October 17, ended with him being killed by simple wolves while he was collecting ores.
In addition to summit1g, well-known streamers xQc (8th place among the most watched channels on Twitch) and LVNDMARK (88th place) also played the game.
It’s quite possible that other streamers will follow this example.
How do player numbers compare? While summit1g had up to 21,000 concurrent viewers in his livestream of The Cycle, the game currently only has an average of 711 players on Steam (via SteamCharts). We do not know the player numbers from the Epic Store, but based on our previous experience, they tend to be slightly lower.
The low player numbers are likely due to the fact that The Cycle is still in beta and one has to actively request a key. Additionally, the new shooter from German developer YAGER is still relatively unknown.
If you want to try the game yourself, you can still apply for the beta on Steam or Epic Games.

In Destiny 2, the annoying overload champions are becoming bolder and driving players insane. They are hardly impressed by disruptions, and even if they are, they continue to shoot coldly or dodge cheekily. What is wrong with these disturbed champions?
“How good it is that there is infinite kinetic ammunition in Destiny 2,” many players are surely thinking by now. At least it makes the fight against the rampaging overload champions a bit more bearable. But it does not change the fact that players have been trolled by the crazy overload champions for almost 7 months. No matter where you encounter the champions, they are completely insane.
What is wrong with them?
Overload champions, especially captains, quickly heal back to full health, despite the disruption buff.
Once disturbed, they become cheeky and shoot back like crazy.
Cooldown? These champions don’t know it, but they can dodge perfectly.
Overload champions also teleport around wildly and take cover.
Stasis makes the problem even worse.
It is primarily the overload captains in Destiny 2 who simply do not want to die. And that, despite players doing everything right. How hard it is to deal with them right now is also shown by the PvE god Esoterickk in one of his latest videos.
An almost endless fight, as if from a creepy time loop.

Disruption mechanics are not triggered correctly: Players report that they often hear the disruption sound, rely on it, but the champion is not stopped at all. Or the timing does not align between disruption and effect. The endgame enemies feel so broken because of this.
Players want a nerf for these enemies
Why has the problem been in the game for so long and not been fixed, players wonder. Is it supposed to be this way? Is it intentional by Bungie for the overload champions to react this way? Hardly believable, as the encounters are in many situations way too harsh for Bungie to have intended it this way.
The community hopes not only for a patch: Many players now believe that these tough enemies fundamentally need a nerf. Overload champions are too strong in their opinion and far too often not beatable, even without their crazy behavior.
This sentiment is also shared by player Bug who comments under the video:
Overload captains are by far the most annoying champions/enemies in all of Destiny. They seriously need to be nerfed a bit and are super buggy.
User kgosietsile sere replies: “Having two overload champs side by side is the worst. Constant stuns then make them ‘unstunned’ and they return to full health faster than the speed of light. It’s a bug that needs to be fixed.”
Especially because Esoterickk is now prominently drawing attention to it, it shows: These overload champions actually do not belong in the game, but in a straightjacket.
You don’t know Esoterickk? Here is more information about the undisputed Destiny 2 PvE god:
When will the obvious problem be fixed? Bungie has not reacted at all so far to the fact that their overload champions are rampaging in the game. And that, despite the problem having existed since Season 14. The community has pointed this out multiple times on reddit and in the Bungie support forum. However, so far the developer has not added this issue to the list of known problems. Players are now hoping that the problematic situation might get more attention thanks to the influential YouTuber.
Player kf jokingly comments: “I now know why Bungie gave us infinite primary ammunition, so we can work overtime on stunning. Yes! Just stunning, let them regenerate, don’t kill them lol.”
What are your experiences? Do you have the crazy overload rampagers under control or is this actually a problem in Destiny 2’s gameplay that Bungie should urgently address?

Finally, it is confirmed: God of War is getting a PC version. The Game of the Year 2018 was originally released on PS4, and now it is coming to Steam. MeinMMO will provide you with all the important information.

PC features with graphic enhancements like DLSS and bonus items
What is special about the PC version? While there are no changes to gameplay, the PC will mainly receive graphic updates. These include:
Nvidia’s DLSS and Reflex
Support for 21:9 aspect ratios
Ambient Occlusion with GTAO (Ground Truth Ambient Occlusion)
SSDO (Screen Space Directional Occlusion)
As is typical for a PC version, there is also support for native 4K resolution included. Additionally, there are no limits on frame rates.
What are DLSS and SSDO? With Nvidia DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), the game is internally calculated at a lower resolution and scaled up to a higher resolution like 4K using an AI algorithm to increase FPS. With the RTX 3060, the performance gain is up to 30%.
Nvidia Reflex, on the other hand, is supposed to reduce system latency and thus accelerate performance.
Additionally, there are a few extra bonuses for PC players. Buyers of the Steam version will receive some bonus items:
Death Oath armor sets for Kratos and Atreus
Warden of the Exiled shield design
Forge’s Shield shield design
Souls Shield of the Light Elves shield design
Dökkskjöldur shield design

God of War completely revamped the series
How does God of War play? While earlier parts became famous as hack-and-slash games, God of War 4 completely revamps the gameplay.
You play as Kratos from a third-person perspective, exploring a more or less open game world, collecting equipment, unlocking new abilities, and upgrading your stats using skill points and gear.
In combat, you are actively supported by Atreus, who can also be indirectly controlled. The gameplay is quite demanding.
The game world is open but rather compact and labyrinthine. As you progress, you unlock new paths and explore the mysterious world of Midgard.
Midgard also serves as a hub to access the other worlds from Norse mythology via the World Tree. You explore places like Helheim, the Norse hell.
In 2020, the sequel God of War: Ragnarök was announced. However, there is still no exact release date for it. The game is also supposed to come out in 2022.
Will the sequel also come to PC? This is currently unknown. So far, Ragnarök has only been announced for PS4 and PS5.
Streamer Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofsetter (29) is the biggest gaming streamer in the world. She is now promoting a product that she has allegedly worked on for 2 years: The skincare line “RFLCT” is supposed to protect against blue light emitted by monitors or smartphones. She is facing a lot of criticism for the products. Twitch streamer Hasan Abi says it’s just soap.
This is Valkyrae:
Until January 2020, Valkyrae was a Twitch streamer who made a name for herself with Fortnite while maintaining an Instagram account and being active on YouTube.
This is how the streamer promotes her product: The streamer claims to have worked for two years with a team on RFLCT: The product line is designed to protect users from the harmful effects of “blue light” (HEV light) emitted by screens.
The product page cites a study stating that there is “increasing evidence” supporting the thesis that blue light contributes to skin aging.
In an interview that accompanied the product launch, it states: Especially someone like Valkyrae, who spends so much time in front of a monitor, must be careful to avoid the “ugly side effects” associated with blue light. It is said to cause “DNA damage” and “tissue and cellular damage”. Blue light has a negative effect on the eyes and contributes to skin aging.
Valkyrae says the idea for the product came to her after she suffered from acne and felt constantly unwell due to streaming so much. Therefore, she decided to focus on her health and skin health. The cream now fits into a lifestyle that mainly takes place in front of a monitor.

“This is just damn soap”
Dhis is the criticism of the product: Essentially, the criticism is: It is not scientifically proven that blue light really has a negative effect on the skin.
A user on Twitter says, for example, that the whole company aims to explain to the average customer that the product is based on actual science. This is not the case. There is a lack of studies proving that blue light really has significant negative effects on the skin (via twitter).
This is how Valkyrae responds: Valkyrae tweeted that she was told to wait until tomorrow before commenting. She is also confused.
The tweet was later deleted.
As the site Dexerto reports, changes have already been made to the RFLCT website. Now it is stated that there is evidence that blue light negatively affects the skin. In earlier versions of the site, this had been presented as a clear fact.
MeinMMO is a site that deals with online gaming. That is our expertise. We refrain from making an assessment of the extent to which “blue light” affects the skin.
Valkyrae is aware of the downsides of being a streamer – one can probably fear that in the coming days some new experiences will emerge:
