What is the drop chance? When asking around in the New World community, players talk about a 1% – 3% drop rate. This has not yet been explicitly tested, and other factors also play a role. So take such numbers only as estimates and not too seriously.
A significant role is played by the loot system and its function. MeinMMO author Alexander Leitsch has summarized everything for you in this article:
Are you one of the lucky ones who have already received legendary jewelry, or do you know other locations and want to share them with the community? We look forward to your comments.

While the Destiny 2 community celebrates Halloween, players have become aware of a major issue in the game: the artificial limits on currencies and items that they keep encountering even during the event.
Bungie’s new version of the Halloween event has been well received so far. There have only been minor changes to the event, but the removal of the Haunted Forest has brought fresh air to the stale event. The idea of the lore book and the community armor has also been something players have enjoyed. If it weren’t for that one nasty thing: artificial limits.
In Destiny 2, there are artificial limits that many players consider annoying, arbitrary, and completely unnecessary. This has been especially felt during the event with Spectral Pages.
In Destiny 2, there are various limitations:
You can collect a maximum of 75 Spectral Pages during the Halloween event.
Seasonal currency (Parallax Fragments) is also limited to 3000 pieces.
Players may only possess 20 Ascendant Shards per character. (40 max with 3 characters)
The enhancement prisms are also limited to 50 pieces per character. (200 max with 3 characters)
And that was just an excerpt of the current limitations. Bungie has even more caps that repeatedly restrict players in one way or another. The farming potential for many of the materials in Destiny 2 is too restrictive.
How to farm the lore pages for the Halloween event, we have summarized in this article.
After the posting, it quickly became clear that this problem does not only affect the Gambit misfortune bearer.
The reddit post has now received over 6.5K upvotes, and the community is increasingly demanding Bungie to remove all artificial limits and agrees with the demand from Oravital1, who put it succinctly:
Stop putting a damn limit on everything. Glimmer, [legendary] shards, [planetary] materials, and a thousand other things. Just stop. Let us play the damn game the way we want. If I get 200 Spectral Pages and then want to turn them in, just let me do it for heaven’s sake.
Bungie has been limiting its players for a long time. The players’ demand is not new. Artificial farming limits have been a sore point for the community since Destiny 1. The Festival of the Lost 2021 has only brought this highly controversial topic back into the spotlight:
integralofEdotdr writes: “I think one of the worst caps is Glimmer when Ascendant shards cost 50,000 Glimmer and the kiosk weapons over 100,000 Glimmer. If [Bungie] could raise the cap to 400,000, that would be nice.”
Umbral Engrams are capped as well: Players in Destiny 2 have only four chances per week for a good weapon/armor through their focused T3 Umbral Engrams. Additionally, the perk combinations and armor values have gotten worse in Season 15:
The player SPEEDFREAKJJ notes:“Capping T3 Umbral Engrams, which have no high value, was the ultimate d**k move.”
The limitation is probably intended to “inflame” player “engagement”. A limitation on Umbral Engrams, for example, ensures that players return week after week to farm their four T3 Umbral Engrams. Similar to time-gating, Bungie thus stretches the content over a longer period.
Such elements that stretch the content lead to more consistent player counts. However, this is received very poorly by the players. They no longer feel free in what they can do in Destiny 2.
What does Bungie say about it?: So far, Bungie has not specifically addressed this. The last Glimmer cap increase occurred with the release of Shadowkeep in August 2019. That was also a demand from the community that Bungie fulfilled. It is therefore not unlikely that with “The Witch Queen” in February 2021, a few adjustments will also be made. However, whether all or any limitations will be lifted remains uncertain.
Have you actually reached the limit for your Spectral Pages? What is your opinion on the artificial limits in the game? Have you also lost Ascendant Shards via the post because you couldn’t have any more in your inventory? Do you feel restricted, or do you not even reach the caps?
The stark opposite are materials that no one needs anymore. The unpopular mod components, for example, can be stacked infinitely in the inventory. The difference here is: The components are useless when you have all the mods.
Destiny 2 players want to be free, and limits only unnecessarily hold them back.
Bungie is artificially limiting its players
The dissatisfaction with these artificial farming limits is currently growing louder. Especially because it increasingly happens that the limit prevents players from obtaining certain items:
Players lose the most valuable currency in the game, Ascendant Shards, because they cannot store more than 10 of them in the post and in their inventory. If the post is full because you might be spending longer in a raid, they are gone forever.
Or players do not pay attention to the caps of seasonal currency, and without realizing it, they simply get nothing for their time and effort.
The Destiny 2 player Oravital1 experienced the same thing when he wanted to farm his Spectral Pages in Gambit.
I just did a 3-hour Gambit grind, only to find out that the Spectral Pages cap is at 75. Who knows how many I missed?
writes Oravital1 in the Destiny 2 reddit
As long as this is the case, players should keep an eye on the number of their Spectral Pages during the Festival of the Lost to avoid losing event progress.

There are in Genshin Impact a total of 46 special chests on the island of Tsurumi and even one on Watatsumi. In this guide, we will show you when and where you can find the chests.
What are “special chests”? With the Patch 2.2, special chests were introduced into the game. These chests contain blueprints for decorations that you can use in the Housing system. These blueprints allow you to learn how to craft certain items.
Where can you find special chests? 46 special chests are scattered across the island of Tsurumi. You can only find all of these chests if you take on the Quest line from Tsurumi, visiting the island day by day.
Especially in the east of the island, you will be able to find plenty of blueprints. In the pictures, we marked where you can find the chests, following a specific pattern:
Asterisks not marked with a colored circle indicate chests that are available from Day 1.
Asterisks that are circled in red indicate chests that you will find on the island starting from Day 2.
Asterisks that are circled in yellow indicate chests that you will find on the island starting from Day 3.
Far in the north of Tsurumi.
The south of Tsurumi.
The east of Tsurumi.
Some chests can only be found with the “extraordinary feather” and the corresponding eagle statues.
There is one chest that hides particularly well: You will find this chest south of the Chirai Shrine. Many candles and altars are around there.
If you use the teleporter located north of the Moshiri Shrine and then continue north, you should be there in no time.
The special chest is located in a crack in a wall and is additionally hidden by a small bush. If you remove the bush with sword strikes, you should be able to spot the treasure right away.
Location of the tricky treasure chest.
Revealed chest.
If you have trouble locating treasure chests, you can use your elemental sight. It will show you where they are.
You need to unlock the path to the special chest: First, you need to complete the world quest “Heart of Watatsumi,” which is given to you by the NPC named Tsuyuko. Tsuyuko is located at the Mouun Shrine, which is just behind the Sangonomiya Shrine.
If you need help with the quest, you can find it in the video by YouTuber Spielestyler, who has published a walkthrough of the quest (via YouTube).
Where is the special chest on the island of Watatsumi? This treasure chest is a bit hidden: it is located in the cave, the entrance of which is to the east of the Sangonomiya Shrine and which you unlocked during the world quest.
More specifically, the entrance is right of two waterfalls that are situated directly next to each other.
When you enter the cave, you should head to the lowest level and then walk to the left. Use your elemental sight while doing this, and you can thereafter discover a breakable wall hidden under a ledge.
Destroy this wall and retrieve the blueprints from the chest behind it.
Entrance of the cave on the map.
Entrance of the cave on the overworld.
This special chest contains even two blueprints for decorations.
Could the guide help you discover the special chests? What do you think of Genshin Impact’s idea with these chests and the blueprints inside them? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

Minecraft started a vote that the community could participate in. According to fans, the popular YouTuber Dream allegedly manipulated the voting at Minecraft Live 2021. However, he denies the allegations and claims he just wanted to have some fun. He also has an alibi.
What vote is it about? In a show called “Minecraft Live”, Minecraft lets the community vote on which new mob should appear in the game. The voting took place on October 16, and “Allay” will be the new mob in Minecraft.
“Copper Golem” and “Glare” would have been the alternatives to Allay.

If you give Allay a specific item, it will search for it and pick it up for you.
“Dream manipulated the voting again”
How it went in 2020: Minecraft already held a vote in 2020 on which mob should be included in the game. In 2020, three mobs were also offered as options.
Some content creators wrote tweets at the time to promote their favorites. Among those was Dream, who encouraged people to vote for a glow squid (via Twitter).
In the end, the squid won, and everyone agreed: Dream manipulated the voting; without his fans, the mob wouldn’t have appeared in Minecraft.
He was accused of choosing the dullest mob just to show that he could, because he is so big, or because the mob would supposedly help him in his speed runs.
Why is Dream accused of manipulating the voting in 2021? A video has gone viral on TikTok, showing a supposed screenshot of a tweet that allegedly was written by Dream (via TikTok). In this screenshot, Dream urges people to vote for Allay.
Under the TikTok video, there are comments like:
aqwarteee: “That’s why I don’t like Dream.”
apersonthatdoesgmod: “Dream exploits his fame to get what he wants. Just because his 10-year-old fans treat him like a god.”
fellgasterbutworse: “I wanted Allay, but that’s just wrong :(.”
However, this screenshot is fake. The Twitter user Pitbull created this image as a joke and just wanted Allay to win.
He himself was surprised that the fake received so much attention.
Pitbull later apologized in a tweet, but added that it had to be done (via Twitter).
Dream was banned from Twitter for 24 hours
Why was Dream banned? Due to the screenshot and concerns that Dream would actually influence the voting, an anti-Dream group was founded with the aim of mass reporting his Twitter account – successfully.
The YouTuber tweeted a day after the voting that he had been banned from Twitter for 24 hours and had remained silent during the voting, yet viral TikTok videos were circulating accusing him:
So he couldn’t exert any influence via Twitter on the votes during the event. Previously, Dream had repeatedly joked under posts that he would manipulate the voting and wanted to poke fun at himself (via Twitter). This happened after he had faced much criticism for his glow squid action in 2020.
Dream’s community jokes with him
This is the reaction from Dream’s community: The community is making jokes about the situation.
Dream is always blamed for everything because he is Dream. If someone else did the same as Dream, it wouldn’t matter because they aren’t named Dream.
The Twitter user kit created a suitable graphic that received many laughs:
aimsey: “You could delete every social media profile, move to another country, change your name, and you’d never be seen again, and people would still find a way to say you manipulated the vote.”
Some people probably realized that Dream was just joking and wanted to poke fun at himself. Others are upset with him because he announced he would manipulate the voting.
What do you think about the whole situation? Should people in Minecraft take it easier or can you understand their excitement? Feel free to write it in the comments.
This year, horror fans in CoD Warzone and CoD Cold War will get their money’s worth again. The new Halloween event “The Haunting 2021” has started and brings a lot of new content to the game. MeinMMO summarizes everything about the event for you.
What kind of event is this? For Halloween, many major shooters traditionally hold special events in their games. CoD Warzone and Cold War are also participating.
After the successful event last year, there is a new Halloween event in 2021 with The Haunting, just before the release of CoD Vanguard on November 5.
This time, horror movies come into play in CoD, and with the event, there are new bundles related to horror classics like Scream or the sci-fi film Donnie Darko.
When does it start? The Haunting 2021 starts on the evening of October 19 – it kicks off at 7 PM. Until November 2, it will haunt in Warzone. Here you can watch the trailer for the event:

What else did Update 1.44 bring? The event came with a small update, which, however, takes a long time to install on consoles. Plan a little time for the update. In addition to the Halloween event, the new assault rifle Grav has been buffed (less recoil) and there were some bug fixes. If you want to see the complete English patch notes, check out developer Raven (via ravensoftware.com).
CoD Warzone & Cold War – Halloween event brings new bundles, skins, modes and more
This is how the event works: In CoD Warzone, there is a new mode that fits the Halloween theme. In Cold War, there is even a new map and three new modes.
Moreover, there are, as always, cross-game content:
New weapon from Season 6
The new submachine gun LAPA can be unlocked
Event rewards
New challenges that reward you with 19 suitable Halloween items at the end.
These also include blueprints
Halloween bundles for the in-game shop
Operator Ghostface from the horror classic Scream
Operator Frank the Rabbit from Donnie Darko
Halloween skins for other operators like Portnova, who becomes the Necro Queen
In addition, there are, as always, content that is only found in Warzone or Cold War.
Here you can find images and an overview of the content:
New weapons for Halloween – LAPA submachine gun and melee weapon
What kind of weapon is this? This submachine gun is actually one of the weapons that you can only unlock with the upcoming Season 6.
Thanks to the Halloween event, you can now achieve this earlier. It is apparently a slow-firing submachine gun that is said to be strong even at greater distances.
How do you unlock it? You need to complete all 18 challenges in Cold War and Warzone.
In addition to the LAPA, the weapon Hammer and Sickle will also be available during the event. This is a two-handed weapon that can be unlocked on November 2 in a special challenge.
Halloween event 2021 in CoD Warzone
This is what to expect in CoD Warzone: In Warzone, there is a new mode called Ghosts of Verdansk that is active for the duration of the event. It is reminiscent of the Zombie Royale from the Halloween event last year.
You have to defend yourself against human and supernatural enemies on the map. You will have to deal with a new problem: your fear.
How does it work? Your fear value starts at 0 at the beginning of a match – 100 is the maximum. The value increases through various factors. For example, if you get hit, teammates die, or you simply camp somewhere, the value increases.
If you die, you do not go to the Gulag. Instead, you become a ghost. You will no longer have weapons but gain supernatural powers:
Super Jump: As a ghost, you have no body, thus no weight. You can jump really high and also float down from any height
Teleport: You can teleport short distances, even through enemy players. The ability has a short cooldown
Spectral Blast: An area attack that can slow down enemy operators and vehicles
If you manage to eliminate three players as a ghost, you can revive yourself with those three souls.
Halloween event 2021 in CoD Cold War
This is what to expect in CoD Cold War: The Nuke Town map gets a new appearance for the Halloween event and is available for the event as “Nuke Town Halloween”.
In addition, there are three new modes:
Infected
18 operators fight against each other in two teams. One team consists of zombies: They must infect the other team. If the timer runs out, the human team wins
Prop Hunt Halloween
You can disguise as a pumpkin, skull, or a heap of other objects and must hide from the enemy hunters
Scream Deathmatch
As the name suggests: In this mode, the killer Ghostface from Scream is after you. Two players take on the role of the operators, while the others have to hide from him unarmed. Be aware that the survivors can scream during a match, potentially revealing their hiding spot
This is what to expect in the zombie mode: For Halloween, there is a special variant for Outbreak. In Hallow’s Eve Outbreak, you have to survive long enough. After 10 minutes, you can be airlifted out at one of two points on the map.
Additionally, there is a new world event where a monster appears on the map that can take you out in one strike. So be careful.
Moreover, there are now so-called Scare Packages that spawn every five rounds. They contain valuable items such as ammo mods, wonder weapons, support weapons, armor, and more. But the crates have a catch, so be careful.
The big Twitch leak from two weeks ago included not only information about the earnings of various streamers. A “Do Not Ban list” has also surfaced, which apparently put certain streamers in a special position. Now, anonymous Twitch employees are speaking out about the list and say: “It’s not that bad”.
What kind of list is this? When hackers launched a major attack on the livestreaming platform Twitch, countless sensitive data was made public. Among other things, the following can be found:
Twitch source code
Unreleased Steam competitor named “Vapor”
Hacking tools intended for Twitch’s security team
Payments to the top 100 Twitch streamers
Internal services used by Twitch
Also included was a list of streamers titled “Do Not Ban”. There were also channels on the list that fell under an extended rule: “Do not ban in any circumstance”.
Users of the platform are wondering what this list is all about.
Where do the new information about the list come from? Employees of the streaming platform want to clarify: They provide further details about the mysterious list in conversations with the Washington Post. The Twitch employees wanted to remain anonymous as they did not have their employer’s permission to disclose the information.
There is no statement from Twitch regarding the list.
This is how the “Do Not Ban list” of Twitch is supposed to be in reality
According to employees, this is what the list represents: The Do Not Ban list found by internet detectives in the data leak is said to be less severe than what the web currently assumes. According to an employee, the list is a relic of the past, over five years old, and has long been out of use.
It allegedly was not meant to give individual streamers a ban-proof vest. Rather, Twitch wanted to protect these streamers from a hasty decision by a Twitch admin. “Do not ban” meant to explore the reasons for the rule violation more closely and perhaps overlook some things.
For example, names like TimTheTatman were added to the list because they started with Just Chatting streams early on. At the time, Twitch banned all streamers who were not broadcasting video games — crazy, right?
But even partnered streamers on the “Do Not Ban” list were not completely ban-proof. Their cases were just dealt with more thoroughly.
TimTheTatman was for a long time one of the biggest Twitch streamers, now he streams on YouTube.
Special status was not “You get a free pass from prison,” but “Handle with care”
What does “Do not ban in any circumstance” mean? This caused raised eyebrows: “Do not ban in any circumstance” in the list.
The status was held by Twitch co-founder and CEO Emmett Shear, which makes sense when you think about it: You really don’t want to ban the boss of the company.
Employees say about the list that it was not perfect, but far from the devil’s tool that the Twitch community holds it to be today:
It was not quite a prison-free card, but there were clearly streamers who were treated with more care than others
Anonymous Twitch employee
The employees also shared with the Washington Post during the survey that channels such as Tyler1 and RiceGum were not banned from Twitch due to the Do Not Ban list, despite some serious controversies and toxic behavior.
The reason for the special treatment were the high viewer numbers both channels received. Due to their success and importance for Twitch, the streamers enjoyed more freedoms than others – but even these freedoms were not unlimited.
Does the list still exist? According to anonymous Twitch employees, there is currently no special treatment for streamers and also no Do Not Ban list. Today, Twitch uses a new system that aims to treat all streamers fairly. This is based on objective criteria and no longer on the personal feelings of admins.

In DOTA 2, “Team Spirit” from Moscow won the championship “The International” in 2021. Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the entire team with a message for this achievement.
What is the occasion? On October 17, the final of the DOTA 2 World Championship “The International” took place. The Chinese star team “PSG.LGD” faced the Russian team “Team Spirit”. They played a Best-of-Five, which Team Spirit was able to win 3:2.
The players secured the largest eSports tournament prize to date. Even Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a message to the players, congratulating them on their outstanding skills.
Putin emphasizes the outstanding leadership qualities of the players
How did Team Spirit perform? The final of The International was close. Team Spirit initially secured the first two games, leading 2:0. However, in the following two matches, the Chinese team from PSG.LGD won. It wasn’t until game 5 that Team Spirit was able to win again and bring the prize back to Russia.
The prize money for the winning team is more than 18,000,000 dollars, which is about 15.7 million euros. This is the largest prize payout in the history of eSports (via PCGamer.com).
This is how Vladimir Putin congratulated: After their victory, Team Spirit received an official letter from Russian President Vladimir Putin:
“Congratulations on your well-deserved victory at The International 2021, the DOTA 2 World Championship. For the first time in history, the Russian team from Team Spirit has won this prestigious competition. Well done!” (via kremlin.ru, translated with deepl.com)
In the further part of the letter, Putin addresses the special achievement of the team.
He speaks of solidarity and leadership strength that brought the team to the finals and of an initiative that secured the victory.
On the way to the finals, you have demonstrated great leadership and solidarity, and in the decisive battle, which was a true test of skill and character, you were able to focus and take the initiative from your strong opponents at the crucial moment. It has indeed been proven that our cyber-athletes are always result-oriented and capable of conquering any summit.
The last major victory for an Eastern European team at the International of DOTA 2 was brought home by Natus Vincere (Na’Vi) in 2011.
The MOBA “DOTA 2” is known for its huge prize pools at the world championships. A large part of these prize pools comes from in-game purchases made by players in DOTA 2. Thus, they have a direct influence on how much money each team can win.
One of the monsters that trainers have been expecting in Pokémon GO for a long time is Kecleon. Niantic has now commented on a possible release in an interview. We at MeinMMO have looked into what was said and have summarized all the important information for you.
What information are we talking about? The gaming magazine Eurogamer conducted an exclusive interview with Niantic (via eurogamer.net) during the Safari Zone held in Liverpool. In this interview, they talked about the future of the game and a possible release of Kecleon.
Kecleon – Is a release coming?
What kind of Pokémon is Kecleon? Kecleon is a Normal-type Pokémon from the 3rd generation. Visually, it resembles a green chameleon. Its red zigzag pattern on its belly is particularly noticeable. It also has yellow hands and feet, as well as yellow lines on its face.
Kecleon
Kecleon is not one of the strongest monsters, but it has a special ability. It can adapt its color to its surroundings and thus camouflage itself. Only its zigzag pattern on its belly remains unchanged.
This Normal-type Pokémon is the only monster missing in Pokémon GO in the Hoenn region. For this reason, many players have been waiting for a long time for a release. So will it finally come to the game?
This is what Niantic says about a possible release of Kecleon
As Niantic revealed in the interview with Eurogamer, a release of Kecleon is generally high on their agenda. According to their own statement, Kecleon is a very special monster for them and it should also be implemented in Pokémon GO, which takes its time.
Michael Sterenka (Director, Global Product Marketing) said the following in the interview:
Kecleon is definitely a special Pokémon, one that has unique characteristics in the main series games, as you know. So the release of this Pokémon is not something we want to take lightly. We want to do justice to the things that make this Pokémon so special.
So trainers in Pokémon GO will have to wait a bit longer for a release. Furthermore, it is hoped that Kecleon will actually be implemented as a unique monster with special abilities in the game.
However, Niantic has not yet revealed when it will be ready. They have also kept rather tight-lipped about their plans for the future in the interview. Only a further expansion of AR was hinted at (via eurogamer.net).
When there are more details about the release and future plans of Pokémon GO, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
What are the community reactions?
Many in the community are disappointed by the answers. Michael Sterenka was rather tight-lipped on many questions and revealed little. Especially regarding a possible release of Kecleon, many trainers were hoping for a more concrete answer.
For this reason, there is intense discussion in the community on reddit about the interview and criticism of Niantic’s answers (via reddit.com). Of course, Kecleon is also a major topic:
DadaBigfoot: “I feel like every answer in the interview was the same.”
glencurio: “Kecleon is not that special or unique. Meanwhile, unique Pokémon like Ninjatom get nothing.”
PowerlinxJetfire: “I don’t think Ninjatom was disadvantaged, but they probably want to do something with it, like how you find invisible Kecleon in the main series. Special features would need to be added for that. Honestly, the negative response to the lackluster release of Ninjatom might be a reason they want to put a bit more effort into Kecleon.”
Trainer Vaelthune also writes what he thinks should have been said in the interview: “AR should be pushed forward until the end of time, as they see it as a pillar of GO (even though players don’t want it / say something else), because it will be better in ‘the future’; Kekleon has ‘unique attributes’ in the main series (abilities) and they are waiting to do justice to him.” (via reddit.com).
How do you find Niantic’s response to Kecleon? Are you okay with having to wait a bit longer for this monster? Or would you rather have a quick release where Kecleon’s ability is not considered? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.
In FIFA 22 there is now the FGS swap. With the SBCs you can secure free packs.
What is the FGS swap? “FGS” stands for “FIFA Global Series” – a series of official competitive FIFA tournaments. Here, professionals compete for places at the FIFA world top.
But even if you don’t participate, you can still secure rewards: through the FGS swap SBCs that have now been released in FIFA 22.
What are these SBCs? Currently, there are four repeatable swap SBCs where you are supposed to exchange so-called FGS tokens for rewards.
The first SBC offers a Premium Gold Pack (costs 1 FGS token)
SBC 2 offers a Premium Gold Player Pack (costs 2 FGS tokens)
SBC 3 distributes a Prime Gold Player Pack (costs 3 FGS tokens)
SBC 4 provides a Jumbo Rare Player Pack (costs 4 FGS tokens).
The rewards are untradeable. However, especially the more expensive SBCs provide a good opportunity to strengthen your team without investing coins. The Jumbo Rare Player Pack is one of the best packs in FIFA 22.
You will find the FGS SBCs in the swap tab
How to get tokens and use the FGS swap
These are FGS tokens: The tokens are player items primarily intended to be exchanged in the corresponding SBCs. You can only obtain them by watching certain events of the FIFA Global Series. They are not available on the transfer market or in packs.
How to get FGS tokens: To get tokens, you need to link your Twitch account to FIFA 22 and then watch certain events of the FIFA Global Series. There is currently no exact schedule available for which events will qualify for token distribution.
In the past, it was usually enough to watch a stream for 60 minutes to receive a Twitch drop with tokens.

In New World, a glitch is currently making the rounds, allowing players to become invulnerable. It doesn’t even require an external program, just the windowed version of the game. Amazon has already commented on the glitch.
What kind of glitch is it? With a relatively simple trick, players can make themselves invulnerable, as long as they are not actively playing in the window of New World.
This is primarily used in the wars for territories to defend capture points. Even though the player cannot defend themselves, it is impossible for attackers to capture the point and thereby attack the fortress.
YouTuber Kona highlighted the glitch in a video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv1KBEOneS8
What do the developers say? In the forum, the community manager Mugsy stated that the developers are already aware of the glitch.
However, there is no statement on when the exploit will be fixed. A possible date could be Wednesday when the regular maintenance of the game takes place.
Hello CInetrix, the team is aware of the problem and its effects. Thank you for suggesting that wars be disabled. The team is reviewing the issue and possible solutions. I understand that this is stressful, but please be patient while the team addresses this issue.
Players are surprised by the simplicity of the glitch
How are players reacting? On Reddit and under the YouTube video, many reactions from players are accumulating, who are especially impressed by how easy it is to implement the glitch. They wonder why the developers didn’t spot this problem earlier.
They are also demanding that the developers disable the wars until the issue is resolved.
Spacedude comments under the video: “Thanks for pointing out the issue. I definitely won’t participate in any wars now. I’m sure people on my server will exploit this too. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.”
Charlie writes: “I just tested it and it works. This is completely game-breaking.”
Can something be done against the glitch? Yes, several players report that while players are invulnerable, they can still be hit. So theoretically, they can be thrown off the point to still capture it.
We will also keep you updated in this article regarding the exploit and a possible fix.
What do you think about the glitch? And should players who used it in wars be punished for it? Let us know in the comments.

Crafting plays an important role in New World. There are a total of 17 disciplines in which you can improve and through which you can craft buff food, housing furniture, and gear. In fact, you should even be able to craft the best armor and weapons in the game through crafting. We at MeinMMO explain how exactly that works.
What crafting disciplines are there? The crafting in New World is roughly divided into 3 different tasks:
Gathering – for example, through lumberjacking, mining, or fishing
Refining – which allows for wood, iron, and other materials to be processed further
Crafting – here you can craft armors, weapons, jewelry, furniture, and buff food
Each discipline can be leveled from level 1 to level 200. The highest level is required to craft endgame gear, while you can only craft common items at the lower levels.
You don’t have to restrict yourself to one profession; you master every profession at any time. So you don’t have to first go to a teacher, you can just get started.
How do I level the different disciplines? You level by using the discipline. With every tree you fell, you level lumberjacking. With every weapon you craft, you level weapon smithing.
While the first levels are relatively easy to achieve, you will need to craft more complex items for the higher levels. But this will pay off in the endgame.
The various crafting disciplines at a glance.
Can you level every discipline immediately? Yes, once you have completed the tutorial, you can essentially perform any profession right away. However, certain gathering professions require appropriate tools, and refining and crafting require specific crafting stations that you can find in settlements.
The higher you level a crafting discipline, the better the crafting stations need to be. However, such upgrades can only be made by the company that controls the respective settlement.
The gathering professions
How do these professions work? When gathering, it’s about using specific tools to harvest various materials:
For lumberjacking you need an axe
For mining a pickaxe
For harvesting a sickle
For tracking and skinning a knife
For fishing a fishing rod
All these tools can be crafted directly after the tutorial at the campfire at the watchtower or at your personal campfire. Later, you can craft higher-tier tools through the engineering profession. They work on the same principle as equipment, and are thus available in 5 tiers:
Wood
Iron
Steel
“Starmetal” (the English translation is still pending)
Orichalcum
You can directly equip the tools in your inventory to save space.
The tools have a special place where you can equip them.
What can be harvested? This varies a bit from profession to profession:
Lumberjacking offers different types of wood at levels 0, 50, 100, and 175
Through mining you can already access stone and iron at level 0 and at levels 10, 20, 45, 50, 100, 105, 110, 155, and 175 you can access additional materials
Harvesting offers simple plants, fibers, and mushrooms as early as level 0 and new materials at levels 30, 100, and 175
The level in skinning determines what level the animals you can skin have
In fishing, there are 11 different types of fish that you can catch
Helpful for gathering is also the map from Newworldfans.com, which shows you exactly where the respective occurrences for the materials are (via Newworldfans.com).
The refining professions
How do these professions work? Refining is about upgrading the materials found through gathering professions:
Through melting, raw materials like iron or orichalcum become iron bars or orichalcum bars. Additionally, wood can be turned into charcoal here.
In woodworking, raw wood is turned into wood planks
In leatherworking, you make leather pieces from animal hides
In weaving, you create fabrics from plant fibers
In stonemasonry, raw stone is turned into solid stone blocks
The various professions are quite self-explanatory.
How do these professions work? The crafting professions are about creating finished gear from the gathered and refined materials. This applies to at least 6 of the 7 professions:
In blacksmithing, you create weapons
In armor smithing, you create armors
In engineering, you create gathering tools, the weapons musket and spear, as well as the ammunition
In jewel crafting, you create jewelry
As a carpenter, you create furniture for housing
Through arcana, you create staves and potions
Unlike the other professions, the cooking profession is somewhat different. It does not require a refining profession as an intermediary step. As a cook, you create food and are especially dependent on skinning and fishing. Additionally, there are different types of food that either restore health points or provide buffs.
This is what possible buff food looks like in New World.
How exactly does crafting work? We will walk through the crafting process using blacksmithing as an example, although the various professions hardly differ.
You can create the first wooden weapons directly at level 0 and in a level 1 forge, requiring only wood and leather as materials.
You can already create iron weapons with skill level 0, but you need a level 2 forge. For the weapons, you need iron, wood, and leather, and you can also add special items and azoth.
Special items can give weapons new effects
Adding the currency azoth increases the chance for additional attributes and values
For weapons of level 3 and above, you need specific blueprints, a higher skill level as a blacksmith (between 25 and 200), as well as a forge of level 3 or higher. The maximum level of a blacksmith’s forge can be 5 and depends on the respective settlement you are in.
Basically, every time you craft weapons level 3 and above, you have a chance for a special effect or additional slots for gems that you can use to upgrade the weapons.
How do you craft endgame gear? A legendary weapon requires a blueprint, a forge at level 5, and a skill rank as a blacksmith between 175 and 200. Additionally, you need several rare materials that also require the highest levels at the crafting stations and ranks between 175 and 200.
Furthermore, you need the appropriate special items, enough azoth, and a bit of luck. Because your attributes and gem slots ultimately depend on chance. You can only influence the special effects with the help of the special items.
You can find specific guides for the legendary items here:
This is what a perfect weapon with additional effects could look like in this screenshot:
A spear that you can craft as an engineer.
Where do you get the special items? It’s still unclear. According to the developers, you can get them with a small chance from trees, rocks, and various enemies. In the beta, we had 3 of these special items in our inventory at level 10 with a strong focus on crafting.
What do you think about crafting in New World? Do you find the system good or are you less interested?
We have gathered all guides related to New World here:
Elyon started its head start on October 17 and celebrates its official release on October 20. The MMORPG from Korea is particularly praised for its combat system and character development. There is criticism mainly for Pay2Win. But is that really the case? We at MeinMMO took a closer look at the shop.
Special accessories like wings, glasses, or hairbands
Various mounts and pets
Extensions for inventory slots, character slots, and bank
A scroll that gives you XP back when you die (maximum of 5% XP is lost)
Two buffs that last for 30 days each and remind a bit of ESO+
Luminus boxes that help you acquire attributes faster
It is striking that there are some items in the shop that make life in the game easier. Especially the Luminus boxes and the buffs provide bonuses that could be seen as reducing the overall grind in Elyon, hence some players may perceive them as Pay2Win.
Buffs for comfort and faster progress
What are these buffs? The first buff is called Star’s Blessing and costs 1,500 Rubies – equivalent to 15 Euros. In return, you get the following bonuses for 30 days:
10% more experience points when killing monsters
10% increased drop rate
3 additional points in work point regeneration
16 inventory slots
14 bank slots
Auto Charge for Luminus Energy
15 Laurel Wreath Pieces per day – they activate a buff for additional items that lasts for 30 minutes and can also be earned in-game
This buff offers clear advantages but is comparable to ESO+ and premium buffs offered by other free-to-play games.
The second buff is called Wilter’s Brush and costs 1,100 Rubies – equivalent to 11 Euros. With this, you can change the appearance of your characters as often as you like for 30 days. Essentially a permanent voucher for the hairdresser.
In addition to this buff, you can purchase access to the bank or a vendor for 750 Rubies (7.50 Euros) each. These can then be summoned for 30 days wherever you are standing.
These 4 buffs each last only 30 days. If you want them permanently, you’ll have to spend approximately 31 Euros per month.
Are the Luminus boxes Pay2Win?
What exactly lies behind Luminus? Luminus is a system through which you can obtain additional attributes. Luminus comes in strengths T1 to T5, with upgrading being difficult. You always need 3 Luminus of the same level to upgrade them:
3 Luminus at level 1 can be combined to level 2
3 Luminus of level 2 can then be upgraded to level 3, and so on
However, such a combination can also fail. Then you only receive one Luminus of the same level, although you used 3 of them
Luminus through in-game currency is expensive, and regardless of how much in-game currency you have, you only get 3 Luminus of level 1 per day. Additionally, there are a few achievements that reward you with Luminus with fixed attributes, which you might not be interested in.
You have a total of 11 different Luminus slots, with only one of them being able to be actively selected at a time.
What does the shop offer? In the shop, you can get Luminus of level 1 for about 5 Euros. So theoretically, anyone who wants can start with enough money to bring a Luminus of their choice to the highest level 5 right away. Thus, the entire grind for this stat is eliminated.
An offensive Luminus at level 5 grants bonuses such as 10% increased magic power, 10% reduced cooldowns, or 25 additional attribute points.
For 400 Rubies (4 Euros), you can also buy a Luminus Converter that allows you to customize the attributes of your Luminus to your liking.
Are there items that help with equipment upgrading? Both with Luminus and with equipment upgrades, failures can occur. Unlike in Black Desert, there are no items in the shop that guarantee you an upgrade or increase the chance for it.
Many cosmetics for fair prices
What does the rest of the cash shop look like? The rest of the shop consists of general expansions and various cosmetic content. We are looking at the prices for you:
8 additional inventory slots cost 8 Euros
7 additional bank slots also cost 8 Euros
An additional character slot costs 6 Euros
An additional Luminus slot costs 2 Euros
Pets from the shop cost 5 Euros
The 8 different outfits cost 18 Euros each
The accessories, emojis, and stickers cost between 50 cents and 3 Euros. You have almost 100 different items available here
The mounts and gliders each cost 10 Euros. Here there are 18 different skins
A small selection of outfits and mounts has been collected for you in this gallery:
What do you think about Elyon’s shop? Do you see Pay2Win in the contents or can you live with the fact that you just have to grind more without spending money? Feel free to write it in the comments.
What exactly lies behind Elyon and whether this new MMORPG might be interesting for you, we reveal here:
If you have obtained your weapon God Rolls in Destiny 2, you will reach a point where the armor needs some fine-tuning. However, this is not so easy, as much depends on good RNG. Therefore, we show you a piece of armor from a Guardian that is truly the God Roll par excellence.
Which armor is it? The reddit user “AGooodman” received the exotic Warlock chest piece “Starfire Protocol”, featuring amazing stats. The usual sight Guardians have regarding armor are sets with wildly randomized stats.
This armor, on the other hand, appears with a base value of 70 points. What is astonishing is especially the distribution. Because, 32 points are in Recovery and 29 in Discipline. These are the two most important values with which Guardians can shine the best with this exotic armor piece.
The rest, apart from Resilience, is at an identical value of 2 points. Such a roll is truly a God Roll.
A “God Roll” in Destiny 2 refers to an item that has the ideal combination of stats and perks. An item has only a certain pool of stats that are distributed across the individual stats, and some values are significantly more effective and therefore more desirable than others.
3 points in Resilience – this can’t be a God Roll, can it? Many Guardians may now cry out and say that this is only a half God Roll because one point seems to be wrongly assigned: After all, Resilience is +3 and not +2.
But that is misleading. Many exotic armors that were added before the expansion of “Shadowkeep” are equipped with an intrinsic perk. This perk increases a specific value by one point. Therefore, this exotic armor piece is the God Roll par excellence.
How did this find come about? Many Guardians joke that this player will now need insurance for this armor piece.
Another player notes that his RNG luck is now used up and he has no luck left in this season.
The community sees this find positively. The find shows, above all, that such an armor piece can also be possible with such outstanding stats if you bring the necessary patience and luck with you.
How often does one find such an item? Such rolls are unfortunately not easy to come by. Many Guardians have been playing Destiny 2 for ages and yet few have had such a perfect roll so far. Bungie advertises a higher drop rate of such armors, but so far this has only happened sporadically.
The Grandmasters: Nightfall or Glass Chamber promises loot with very good rolls, but usually you get rare armors and these are then also equipped with wrong distributions.
However, there is still the Umbral Engram focusing. This is also not very promising, as the drop relies on RNG and consumes a lot of resources.
Such rolls should remain rare. Many modes in Destiny 2 consciously lose their shine over time, so chasing after such jewels becomes the primary occupation of the Guardians. This usually happens indirectly through a random drop or directly by completing a difficult raid.
What do you think of this find? Do you find it interesting to see what the “best” armor really is, or do you even have such a jewel in your vault? Let us know in the comments.

Many of you can’t wait to finally play Lost Ark. The Europe release of the new MMORPG was postponed to early 2022 some time ago and was originally supposed to be released this year. Now there is still something to play with the 2021 Beta, and there are now details about it.
Here are the latest updates: On the late evening of October 18, the “Lost Ark” Twitter account posted the latest entry of the monthly developer update. This mainly concerns the Closed Beta, which takes place in November.
The post also announces that there will be more new information before and during the Beta. This includes more precise information about the payment model of Lost Ark.
This is particularly exciting, as Lost Ark has so far been communicated as a Free2Play title. It remains to be seen whether the payment model will change. But moving on from speculation to the confirmed innovations, there are quite a few.
What has been announced? The monthly developer update mainly revolves around the Beta. This is intended to test and improve technical systems. The developers emphasize this multiple times in the blog post (via playlostark.com).
The Closed Beta will also take place without NDA. This means, unlike the Alpha, that content may be shared and streamed, as well as screenshots and videos published. Amazon assures, however, that much can change before the launch and the videos should not be used as a final source.
The Beta is intended to allow players to test as much of Lost Ark as possible before the game is released in 2022. Therefore, many new contents will be included in the MMORPG that were missing in the Alpha.
The entire new continent Rohendel can be visited in the Beta
New dungeons, including the Phantom Palace, can be played in the Beta
Abyss and Chaos dungeons and Tier 2 Guardian Raids are also available
You will receive a Power Pass that allows a character to start at level 50, provided you already have a character at level 50
The cash shop will be opened for the first time. There, you may not spend real money yet, but you will receive 40,000 of the real money currency to experiment with
Several technical innovations such as voice chat and a mode for color-blind players
In a sub-tweet, the Lost Ark Twitter account also talks about new PvP modes (via twitter.com)
How can you participate? The Beta of Lost Ark is not open to everyone. You can sign up for it via the Lost Ark website. Then, with a bit of luck, you can participate in the tests. Currently, you need an Amazon account (via playlostark.com).
People who bought one of the Founders Packs have guaranteed access to the closed Beta. The cheapest package that provides this advantage costs €14.99.
The hype just won’t die down
How does the community react? Many fans were disappointed with the developers before gamescom 2021 that they had not been informed for a long time. Apparently, Amazon took this criticism to heart, as they have been sharing monthly updates about the MMORPG since then.
Thanks to this, their community appreciates them, as the hype is still alive on the Lost Ark Twitter page as if there had never been a problem. This is also due to the very active Twitter account that replies to nearly all fans.
What do the fans say? One searches in vain for negative comments under the update posts. There is an overwhelmingly positive mood in the Lost Ark community (via twitter.com).
On Twitter, the user OmniPower writes: ‘This is really impressive! Thank you for listening to your community so much.’
User GeneticColossus agrees: ‘Thank you for the update. The community is more than ready and excited to finally play Lost Ark. I just can’t wait for the Beta.’
The streamer TowelTheTank also writes: ‘I’ve been waiting for Lost Ark for 5 or 6 years. I am so ready.’
The excitement of user Bxkid7 is even at a peak: ‘I have never been more hyped about a game. It is one of the titles I’m looking forward to the most.’
User xSoloGG writes: ‘Thanks for the update, reading it was enjoyable. I hope we get more of this every month.’
To keep the hype from dying down, the developers have created an official Discord for the Lost Ark community, where they can come together and discuss all relevant topics about the MMORPG. Amazon concludes the blog post with a request for feedback on the Beta and the changes.
What do you think of the announcement? Is the excitement also huge among you, or are you still a bit disappointed from the pre-gamescom period? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
In Fortnite today, on October 19, the servers on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, Android) will go down. The downtime will be used to roll out the new update 18.21. All changes will be summarized here on MeinMMO in a timely manner.
What is happening today in Fortnite? Fortnitemares is entering the 2nd round and with it, more spooky beautiful content will wash ashore in Fortnite. So get ready for some downtime, so Epic Games has the opportunity to deploy the update to their servers.
Update 12:22 PM: The update is now available for download and is 1.271 GB on PS5. You now have access to the game. The servers are back online.
To ensure you don’t miss anything, we at MeinMMO will update this article for you. This way, you will always be up to date.
Fortnite servers go into downtime – when and how long?
Downtime in the morning: The servers will be shut down at 10 AM our time to roll out update 18.21. Matchmaking will already be disabled 30 minutes earlier, so you won’t be able to play from 9:30 AM.
When can you play again? The servers will be offline for a full hour and playing will not be possible. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This has been shown by the updates of the past weeks.
Of course, technical problems and delays can always occur during such work. If complications arise, we will report on them.
When will the patch notes be released? As usual, Epic Games will probably not release patch notes regarding the update. Therefore, the community is forced to go on a scavenger hunt to uncover changes.
If important changes occur, we will also update this article for you.
What new content will update 18.21 and Fortnitemares 2021 bring?
What’s new for the Battle Royale mode? We can’t be sure about the changes yet, but leaks and data miners have often proven to be reliable sources in the past. The following changes may occur:
Possible new Halloween skins
Fortnite has teased Halloween skins in the form of tarot cards over the past few weeks. These were decorated with various symbols. Epic allowed players a bit of guessing as to which skin is behind the card.
Hypex, a well-known leaker from the Fortnite scene, had already announced that a Cube City would be available as a new location during the 8th season. Now it has arrived, and a piece from the kingdom of the cubes has made it to the map.

The center is now called “The Convergence” and can be discovered as a new location. But be careful, the queen and her minions may be waiting for you.
New enemy – The Caretaker
A huge creature will await you in Fortnite. His name is “The Caretaker” and he is a giant version of a cube monster. To illustrate how gigantic these creatures are, Hypex made a comparison with a skin.

On September 28, New World finally celebrated its release on Steam after several delays. Now we wanted to know from you at MeinMMO what you think about the new MMO. Many of you currently have a positive view of New World.
Moreover, 255 (11.33%) of the participants have not played New World at all so far
This means that a considerable part of our readers is satisfied with the new MMO. However, many of you have expressed concerns about the endgame and the future of New World in the comments. The situation with the servers has also led to some depreciation.
Praise for Atmosphere and Crafting
What do our readers praise about New World? In almost all comments under the survey, the atmosphere and crafting in New World are praised. For instance, our reader Nyxaro writes:
I am now at about 150 hours and level 54. I have enjoyed the game a lot so far. I can also drift off into resource gathering and/or crafting for an hour when I no longer feel like questing, and I even earn good XP while doing so. The instances have been really fun so far, as mistakes can sometimes lead to an immediate oneshot. Even tanking has been a lot of fun in this MMO. It’s nice to have to do a little more in an MMO than just spam 1234.
Max Mustermann is also excited about crafting:
[I like New World] very much! Fantastic crafting, whatever you gather, it will be needed for something. The best items are crafted by yourself in the endgame, and that makes the grind a positive obligation.
Another criticism that has also been mentioned multiple times is the difficult participation in the wars for territories. We have gathered more about this here:
What should the future of New World look like? For the future, many of you wish for new weapons, new expeditions, and further PvP modes, such as an arena. Crafting should also continue to be expanded after the release.
Here too, some express concerns that Amazon might be too slow in delivering new content. Some of you wonder why there has been no statement or roadmap about the future of New World yet.
Some players are not warming up to New World at all
What do the players who rated New World poorly say? While the positive voices primarily praise the crafting and atmosphere of the MMO, some readers on MeinMMO are not warming up to the game at all.
They have issues with the quests or the combat system. Ryngha, for instance, does not understand the hype around New World at all:
I must unfortunately say that NW does not appeal to me at all. Aside from the lousy communication from Amazon and the queue times at the beginning: super boring, uninspired quests, crafting is okay, but also dull in the long run. The combat system is also okay, but nothing more.
The hype train threw me out of the back wagon shortly after the launch. Surely no one can seriously be captivated like in WoW, ESO, or FFXIV?
This opinion is not alone, but even in the comments, our readers have pointed out that tastes are indeed very different.
Feel free to follow us on our special Facebook page for New World to not miss any important news or our guides.
Swimming as a Meme of New World
A topic in our comments was also swimming. Many of you wonder why there are no swimming animations in the game and characters instead walk underwater.
Tronic48, for instance, is actually fully convinced by New World but mentions swimming as one of the criticisms: “You still can’t swim, which is totally ridiculous.” The topic of swimming was then taken as a joke in further comments.
What do you think of New World so far? Has the MMO convinced you or are you more inclined to ignore it? Feel free to write and discuss about it further in the comments!
For the atmosphere, there is praise from readers MeisterSchildkröte, Law, and Horteo. MeinMMO author Mark Sellner is so enthusiastic about the game world that he plays an MMORPG with sound for the first time:
Concerns about Endgame, Trade Prices, and the Future of the Game
Where do our readers have concerns? Many of you shared your concerns about the future of New World in the over 100 comments. One of them relates to the endgame.
Our reader Alex, for example, hopes that Amazon brings new content quickly enough:
However, there are currently too few regular alternatives [in PvP]. The Outpost Rush mode is the only one, and it will surely get boring at some point. I hope that Amazon quickly adds a few more PvP modes, and also a few more endgame expeditions.
Threepwood is also skeptical about the endgame. This is partly due to the bugs in higher areas, and partly because many players will soon gather in a few areas:
The level 60 players are rightly upset because so many bugs exist, and they have to gather in a few small areas to make progress. When the “mass” of players arrives there, it will get really cramped on the map.
Also pointing to the endgame is the issue of trade prices. Several of our readers fear that the prices for goods could soon drop significantly. MeisterSchildkröte writes:
The so-called player-driven economy is unfortunately more appearance than reality. Players’ storage is overflowing, only a few goods sell really well on the market. Because equipment drops from every corner, every mob, and every chest, crafting professions have largely become irrelevant again. It can’t be the point of crafting to level up to 200 just to be able to craft 5 essential items.
The nonexistent mechanic of destroying loot and thereby removing it from the game also leads to total inflation.
Another criticism that has also been mentioned multiple times is the difficult participation in the wars for territories. We have gathered more about this here:
What should the future of New World look like? For the future, many of you wish for new weapons, new expeditions, and further PvP modes, such as an arena. Crafting should also continue to be expanded after the release.

The European team Fnatic participated in the World Championship in League of Legends : A video shows their journey to the LoL Worlds 2021. What starts like a mix of a commercial for BMW and a school trip to Iceland ends in a drama as the team’s hopes are shattered.
This was the situation for Fnatic before the Worlds:
Fnatic is actually one of the two dominant forces in European League of Legends. But before the 2021 season, things started to crumble: The key player, Rekkles, had switched to rival G2. The contracts of the other players were expiring, and new young teams had overtaken Fnatic.
With some risky maneuvers, Fnatic adjusted: The team picked up a mega-talented but inexperienced top-laner, moved the old top-laner and team leader Bwipo to the jungle, and let go of the team’s best player, the main jungler.
This new team then played much better than expected, qualified for the Worlds, and the mood was excellent.
“Iceland has beautiful landscapes – but I can see that on Google too”
This is how the video begins: In the first minutes of the video for Week 1 of the Worlds, you can see the team slowly arriving in Iceland. The atmosphere is relaxed, the players are excited: A year of LoL has now led to this extraordinary experience.
The video feels like a mix of a commercial for BMW, the sponsor of the video, and a lively school trip:
Supporter Hylissang is happy – his contract has been extended by 2 years. The teammates congratulate him.
The Belgian Nisqy underestimated how cold Iceland is and worries that he hasn’t brought enough warm clothes.
The young top-laner Adam says that the landscape of Iceland is quite beautiful, but he could just look at pictures on Google.
Bwipo makes grand announcements, expressing excitement about beating Royal Never Give Up.
Key player departs due to family tragedy
This is the break in the video: In the middle of the video, the realization hits the team that one of their key players, the German ADC Upset, will leave the team: He will depart from the World Championship due to a family tragedy.
The rest of the video has a completely different tone.
The coach of the team, YamatoCannon, emphasizes what a leader Upset is for their team and how obsessed he has been to participate in the Worlds. Even after his wedding, he immediately went back to playing LoL without being able to take a break:
“He set a very high standard for us: In every way, he was a leader for the team. Nothing was more important to him than qualifying for the World Championship. When a person like him goes through so much pain and starts to wonder, ‘Should I go?’, then he has weighed the decision carefully.”
Yamato, Coach Fnatic
Yamato says that if Upset had been allowed to continue at the Worlds, it could have had long-term negative consequences on his psyche. A guilt he would not want to live with.
Everyone on the team accepted that Upset is leaving now. There was no discussion. Everyone knew how difficult this decision was for Upset and respected it.

Coach Yamato shares how difficult the situation was for Upset.
This is how the video ends: In the video, it’s clear that Fnatic is doing everything they can to motivate themselves and maintain good team spirit. They wish the substitute player on the bot lane all the best and express how much they believe in him.
In the last moments of the video, you see the mid-laner Nisqy starting to sob and cry after a team meeting. He apologizes to his teammates. Yamato leads him out of the room.
This is how the reactions are: The usually hard-hearted LoL fans show much sympathy in the comments. Yamato is praised for his calm and dignified way of handling the situation. The team has worked so hard to get to the Worlds and then it goes so badly for them.
This is how it went for Fnatic after the video: Fnatic managed to at least score an honorable hit in the second round. Curiously, they achieved their first and only victory in the tournament against the clearly superior Royal Never Give Up – just as Bwipo had previously announced.
However, the next 2 games were lost, and Fnatic was eliminated with a 1-5 record after the group stage.
Fnatic, who were considered candidates for the quarter-finals before the tournament started, could not meet expectations without their starting ADC but earned the respect of many LoL fans during the Worlds.
In Destiny 2, “Telesto the Besto” has been suspended for the second time in Season 15. As Bungie announced via Twitter, the developer has locked the exotic fusion rifle because it could make players nearly immortal.
Time and again, the customizable combinations of various mods, buffs, and exotics in Destiny 2 create unique, and unfortunately also unintended, effects. This variety of possibilities makes Destiny 2 builds flexible, but also prone to bugs, especially when unintended synergies are created or powerful effects arise that give players an advantage.
Over the weekend, two new bugs were uncovered by the Destiny 2 community that prompted Bungie to temporarily disable both exotics.
The deactivated exotics are:
Telesto, exotic fusion rifle Unplanned mercy period. Fusion projectiles stick and detonate with a delayed Void explosion and Harbinger’s pulse: Multi-kills immediately reload your equipped kinetic and energy weapons from reserves.
Raijus Harness – Exotic Hunter chest armor for the Arcstrider Moebius Conduit. Early deactivate Whirlwind Guard. No additional super energy is consumed when deflecting.
The bugs generated by both exotics would have provided too great an advantage for the ongoing Trials of Osiris to leave them in the game. Therefore, Telesto has been disabled in all PvP and Gambit activities, and Raijus Harness has been disabled in all activities until further notice.
The following video especially highlights the problem with Telesto:
Telesto made players nearly immortal: The video shows how projectiles from Telesto are shot onto a player’s body. They stick there and almost completely envelop the Guardian. Subsequently, they come under fire.
At least body shots are completely “absorbed” by this “Telesto shield”. Even though the head is not protected, and enemy shots can still land there, the player takes hardly any damage, making them much harder to defeat. Even a Vex Mythoclast can’t do much.
What does Bungie say about it?: Bungie likely already has a big red emergency button for such specific “Telesto emergencies”. The community manager wrote on Twitter after the bug was discovered:
What is the scariest thing in Destiny? I’ll start: TELESTO!

Telesto is always good for a glitch
While Bungie is working on a solution, players have already commented on the new Telesto bug through social media. “Every season needs its Telesto glitch – or even two or three…” The official Destiny 2 account posts a photo with an update of the Safety-First display board in the Tower hangar.
Destiny 2 posted an update on Twitter regarding the “Safety display” in the Tower.
But could it go much further?: As Drexis Animation wrote in September 2021, during Telesto’s first bug in Season 15 on Twitter: Telesto will probably be the only thing that remains in the end.
It goes by many names. The Entity. The Winnower. It is the final form. The end of all things. When all other bugs are fixed, only Telesto remains. It is unstoppable. Inevitable. Paracausal. Savathun herself fears its power.

Time and again, the community finds new ways to break the game with the weapon Telesto. In Season 15, Telesto has done this for the second time, further solidifying its position as the best game-breaking queen of Destiny 2.
Telesto is allowed to do that: But the community also agrees. If one weapon is allowed to do that in Destiny 2, it is Telesto. For players, the exotic fusion rifle Telesto is the undisputed queen of game-breaking. No other weapon has required Bungie to make so many adjustments and fix so many bugs.
The Destiny 2 community feels a bit sorry for Bungie. Perhaps it would make sense to completely remove such a broken exotic like Telesto from the game. But so far, Bungie has repeatedly repaired the bugs with Telesto. After all, Telesto is a very unique weapon because it does not fire normal projectiles.
How diversely Telesto has already disrupted the game mechanics of Destiny 2:
Its fusion projectiles are registered as enemies
With Telesto, it was possible to get infinite ammunition
The Exotic bypassed complete raid mechanics
In the Blind Well, it was possible to almost skip the entire activity with Telesto
It gave Guardians maximum buffs when shooting at the projectiles
A seasonal mod from Season 15 allowed infinite power spheres to be generated
Together with the exotic fusion rifle Telesto, it also affected the Hunter chest armor “Raijus Harness” from Season 10. It is also disabled until further notice because it allowed players to use infinite super energy. All that was needed was to activate the “Whirlwind Guard” just before the Arcstrider super would expire. Once activated, it could then be executed infinitely, even after the super had ended.
Raijus Harness: Also disabled until further notice.
When will the two exotics be available again?: Currently, there is no known date for when Bungie will re-enable the two exotics. As soon as we know something, we will inform you.
Let us know what you think Telesto will break next. Maybe Telesto bubbles will soon drop exotic engrams? Or when you shoot the Telesto bubbles, you can improve your K/D. Who knows. But one thing is certain, this definitely wasn’t the last time Telesto defended its status as a gamebreaker. Or do you also think Telesto should be completely disabled?

How to pull and hold aggro in New World? We will show you everything you need to know about aggro in the game. This way, you can successfully tank or be a non-annoying teammate for your tanks.
What is aggro? In multiplayer games, aggro refers to the attention of an opponent. The one who has aggro is focused on and attacked by the corresponding mob. In a group, ideally, the tank should have the attention of the enemies and maintain aggro.
If you deal too much damage/healing or attack too early, you might steal aggro. With the taunt ability, a tank can regain focus from the opponent.
We show you in the overview how aggro works in New World.
Pulling, building, and holding aggro – How does it work in New World?
What the developers say: In the New World forum, Chardis, a developer of New World, explains how the target prioritization of enemies and the aggro system of the game works (via forums.newworld.com).
How do enemies select their targets? Most enemies in New World select their target based on threat (aggro). Threat is calculated from damage dealt to enemies, blocking enemy damage, healing done (to other players and also to yourself), and the taunt ability.
Enemies choose the player who is currently highest on the threat list as their target. This player then has aggro from that opponent.
You hold the aggro of an opponent until one of the following events occurs:
Another player generates more aggro than you and climbs to the top of the threat list
Another player uses the taunt ability
The AI enemies use a special ability that targets players who currently have no aggro
The battle against an elite opponent in the open world. Here it is important who is focused by the boss.
Chardis explains these three scenarios in more detail:
1: Player A has 100 threat and therefore has the aggro of the opponent. Player B generates 110 threat and surpasses Player A. Now Player B has aggro from the opponent and the AI attacks Player B
2: Player A has 100 threat and Player B has 0 threat but then uses the taunt ability. This immediately pulls aggro from the opponent, who will then attack him as long as the taunt ability is active. After that, the opponent will attack the player who is highest on the threat list.
3: If Player A has 100 threat and Player B has 0, an opponent can still attack Player B. If it uses the ability “I throw my spear at the player who is farthest away”, then this ability ignores the threat list.
How does it work for healers and aggro? As Chardis explains, healing causes significantly less threat per ability than any other weapon. However, since you can also cast AoE heals and damage over time (HoTs) with the life staff, you can build threat this way as well.
If you heal your tank before he can deal damage to the opponent, then you have aggro as healer at first. In this case, your tank can taunt and build threat with damage to hold aggro.
Are you playing as a tank? We have summarized for you the best tank builds in New World. This way, you generate threat and withstand a lot.

Elden Ring is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games to be released in 2022. The release was originally planned for January 21, 2022. However, the date has now been postponed by just over a month.
When is Elden Ring coming out? The open-world game Elden Ring will now officially be released on February 25, 2022, which is just over 4 weeks later than initially planned.
Why is Elden Ring delayed? The official reason given for the postponement states that the “depth and strategic freedom of the game” has exceeded expectations. Therefore, more time is needed.

ELDEN RING will be released on February 25, 2022, as the depth and strategic freedom of the game has exceeded the original expectations. We thank you for your trust and patience. We look forward to letting you experience the game in the closed network test in November.

New RPG from the creators of Dark Souls
What is Elden Ring? This is the next big RPG project from FromSoftware, who created an entire genre with Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls.
Elden Ring is expected to be significantly broader and larger than previous games from the company. The story, however, is expected to be dark as usual.
The well-known trademark, the combat system, will also play an important role in Elden Ring. Dodging, blocking, parrying, and the use of different weapons are the focus.
Furthermore, we know the following things about Elden Ring:
There will be 6 areas that you can visit in any order
There will be a day-night cycle and dynamic weather
You can ride a spirit horse through the world
The big feature are the Legacy Dungeons, where you can unleash your creativity
