Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 19.10. – The heroic Astral alignment begins

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, the “Festival of the Lost” is still on everyone’s lips. If you have not collected all the masks yet, you still have a chance this week. Meanwhile, the heroic variant of the “Astral Alignment” will be unlocked. You can find out more about it here on MeinMMO.

This is exciting this week: In Destiny 2, the festivities of the Halloween event continue. So you still have time this week to earn crazy masks or even secure the creepy Sparrow in the spider look. This will be available in Eververse for Glimmer this week.

But you can also look forward to another challenge in the Astral Alignments. These will be active at the difficulty level “Legend”. After successfully completing it, you will receive a 3rd chest at the end to open. So gather a team of 6 Guardians, polish your weapons, and fight your enemies.

For PvP players in Destiny 2, Bungie has something planned as well. This weekend, the Trials will bring out the Lab again and you have the chance to test the new “Freelance mode”. This mode is designed for solo players and only allows you to face other solo players.

In October it gets dark: Destiny 2 will host its Halloween event, the Festival of the Lost, starting today for three weeks until November 2. Players can explore the new “Haunted Sectors” for the first time, as the Haunted Forest is no longer available. With the fall of Mercury, it has fallen to darkness. Soon, the Tangled Shore will also face the same fate: Destiny 2 seals the end of the Tangled Shore – Must Spider die for that?

Take a look at the brand new trailer for the Halloween event:

FIFA 22: 7 Cards are Currently Dominating FUT – This is Why They are So Strong

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 5 minutes

In FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, you will encounter several cards repeatedly. We show you the currently most popular players in FUT and what makes them special.

What kind of list is this? On the popular FUT site “futbin“, data on the so-called “Players Game Performance” (PGP) is collected. This data shows us the number of games for each card, goals per game, and other interesting information.

Futbin collects the data of the cards found on the FUT transfer market. Untradeable cards, such as objectives or SBC players, cannot be assessed.

Nevertheless, the numbers provide an interesting overview of which cards are played the most in Ultimate Team. Here we present to you the 7 most popular cards in detail (as of October 19, 2021).

1. Ousmane Dembélé

With an astonishing 1,908,856 games, Ousmane Dembélé is currently the most popular player in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. The French winger has a goal rate of 0.62, which indicates that Dembélé is likely more focused on assists.

This is what makes the card so popular: If you want to get Dembélé on your team, you currently need to spend around 64,000 coins. In return, you get a lightning-fast winger who can impress with his very good dribbling stats.

However, the Frenchman is likely especially popular due to the rare combination of 5-star skill moves and 5-star weak foot. This allows you to execute any trick at full speed and get the ball on goal or to a teammate from any position.

2. Marcus Rashford

The Gold card of Rashford currently has 1,833,036 games with a goal rate of 0.86 in FUT 22, placing him in 2nd place.

This is what makes the card so popular: With Rashford, you get a strong attacker with very high speed and strong shot and dribbling stats. Especially the 5-star skills combined with the flair trait make the fast Englishman so popular.

FUT players most often use Rashford with the Engine chemistry style, which significantly boosts his passing and dribbling stats. His price is currently around 78,000 coins.

3. Theo Hernández

The Gold card of Theo Hernandez has so far recorded 1,789,383 games in FUT 22, placing him in 3rd place among the most played players.

This is what makes the card so popular: Theo Hernandez is arguably the best left back in Serie A, but the Frenchman is also interesting for hybrid teams due to his nationality. He is characterized by his tremendous speed and stable stats in all other areas. He is a strong left back who can also create offensive opportunities.

If you then use the Anchor chemistry style, you get one of the best defenders in the game.

4. Vinícius Júnior

Vinicius Junior’s first inform card has already achieved an incredible 1,785,307 games, which is an unusually high number at a price of around 331,000 coins. On average, the inform card scores 0.79 goals per game.

This is what makes the card so popular: Vinicius Junior plays on the left wing and impresses there with an extreme speed of 96 and 5-star skill moves. If you give him the Deadeye chemistry style, average shot stats turn into really strong shot stats, rounded off with 4 stars for weak foot.

If you’re interested in more about FIFA 22 you might also find this interesting:

5. Heung Min Son

Son has been a popular card in FUT for many years, and this has not changed in FIFA 22. Proudly, the former Hamburg player has already recorded 1,780,850 games with a strong goal rate of 1.09.

This is what makes the card so popular: When you look at Son’s card, you don’t have to think long about why it is so popular among many players. Son has top stats in all important areas: he is very fast, has very strong shooting stats, and offers strong dribbling and passing stats. But especially interesting are the 5-star weak foot ratings, which allow you to score goals from any position.

The only problem: Son is not exactly cheap and currently costs around 306,000 coins.

6. Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba is slightly stronger in FIFA 22 than in the previous year, which is also reflected in the number of games played, currently at 1,769,859 games.

This is what makes the card so popular: Paul Pogba is a dribbling midfielder with decent strength, outstanding passing stats, and strong shot stats. A combination that is not very common in FIFA.

Additionally, the Frenchman has 5-star skill moves and 4 stars on the weak foot. If you also use the Shadow chemistry style, you get a fast box-to-box player with stats over 80 in every area.

He currently costs just under 100,000 coins.

7. Bruno Fernandes

The Portuguese player from Manchester United currently has 1,645,459 games in FUT 22, placing him in 7th place.

This is what makes the card so popular: This year, Bruno Fernandes has received a really strong FUT card that excels in shooting, passing, and dribbling. He is a strong option for the attacking midfield and costs no fortune at 75,000 coins.

If you use the Shadow chemistry style, Fernandes can also help defensively and stop opposing players with strong defensive stats.

The following players are in the next places:

  • Kevin De Bruyne
  • Alphonso Davies
  • Erling Haaland
  • Ferland Mendy
  • Achraf Hakimi
  • Phil Foden
  • Sadio Mané

What do you think about the most popular cards in FUT 22? Have you encountered them often? If you’re looking for strong cards yourself, we have a few surprisingly affordable players for you:

Steam Deck Specs: What can Valve’s handheld do compared to the PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 4 minutes

At the end of 2021, Valve’s new handheld console, the Steam Deck, will be launched. But how much power is in the device? MeinMMO has taken a look at the specs of the console.

What is the Steam Deck? With the Steam Deck, Valve introduced a handheld console that aims to transport all the features of a gaming PC to handheld form. Many fans celebrated the reveal of the Steam Deck as the “Switch Pro.”

But what specifications (specs) does the Steam Deck actually offer? MeinMMO explains the specs of the Steam Deck in detail and discusses how much power the console can theoretically provide. By now, there are also first benchmarks. In addition, we compare the Steam Deck to the PS5 and the Xbox Series X.

Valve has also shown how the inside of the Steam Deck looks. Theoretically, you can disassemble the device yourself, but you should not do this:

More on the topic
Valve shows how to mod the Steam Deck – Here’s why you should avoid it
von Benedikt Schlotmann

The Processor

What kind of hardware is in the Steam Deck? Valve uses a custom-made APU (accelerated processing unit) from AMD in the Steam Deck. This is a processor that also includes a graphics chip. APU is a proprietary term from AMD; Intel does not have this designation.

The Steam Deck employs a processor with the latest architecture that AMD currently has on the market, which is Zen 2. The CPU is a 4-core processor with 8 threads, and the processor clocks between 2.4 to 3.5 GHz.

What do the PS5 and Xbox offer? Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S utilize the same Zen 2 architecture as the Steam Deck. In contrast to the Steam Deck, the next-gen consoles use 8-core processors with 16 threads. The PS5 clocks up to 3.5 GHz, while the Xbox Series X clocks up to 3.8 GHz.

In direct comparison on paper, the Steam Deck delivers less performance with the same system architecture. However, this is not surprising, as the performance of the Steam Deck will be thermally and battery-constrained. The PS5 and Xbox Series X do not have these issues, but they are also not as easily portable without effort.

The Graphics Card (GPU)

What kind of hardware is in the Steam Deck? The GPU of the Steam Deck is also based on AMD’s latest RDNA 2 architecture and features a total of 8 compute units (CUs) that operate at a variable clock rate of 1 – 1.6 GHz. Valve states the performance of the GPUs at about 1.6 teraflops. Teraflops describes the theoretical maximum performance on paper.

Compute units (CUs) are a part of the GPU and are an important component for graphics performance. The more CUs a graphics card has, the more performance it offers.

The performance is comparable to the PlayStation 4, which officially achieves 1.84 teraflops. However, you should note that the PS4 does not encounter the specific thermal and battery-related limitations compared to the Steam Deck.

What do the PS5 and Xbox offer? Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X use an APU from AMD like the Steam Deck, but with the RDNA-2 graphics chip, they employ the more modern and faster architecture: While the Steam Deck has only 8 compute units, the PS5 and Xbox Series X each offer 36 compute units, delivering overall more power than the chip in the Steam Deck.

The GPU of the PS5 promises a theoretical performance of 10.28 TFLOPS, which is about six times faster than the Steam Deck. The Xbox Series X offers even more power, with 12.14 TFLOP.

Consequently, while the graphics chip clearly lags behind the next-gen consoles, it still provides more power than the Nintendo Switch, with which the Steam Deck is often compared. You can read about the biggest differences between the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch here:

More on the topic
Steam Deck vs Nintendo Switch – Here are the 5 biggest differences
von Benedikt Schlotmann

However, it should be clear that the graphics chip of the PS5 and Xbox must handle different tasks than that of the Steam Deck. The graphics chip of the Steam Deck does not need to render in Full HD or 4K resolution like the PS5 or Xbox Series X. Instead, the resolution in handheld mode is limited to HD (720p). Therefore, the graphics chip of the Steam Deck does not, and cannot, need to be as powerful as those in the next-gen consoles.

RAM

What kind of hardware is in the Steam Deck? The Steam Deck uses a total of 16 GB LPDDR5 memory with a frequency of 5500 MHz.

LPDDR5 is referred to as “Low Power DDR.” It offers the same performance as traditional memory but uses significantly less power. Thus, it is much better suited for mobile devices like smartphones or the Steam Deck. Both the processor and the graphics card must use the RAM of the Steam Deck, as the graphics chip of the Steam Deck does not have its own dedicated graphics memory like a normal graphics card.

What do the PS5 and Xbox offer? Both PS5 and Xbox Series X also utilize 16 GB of RAM but opt for the faster GDDR6 version. This provides significantly higher memory bandwidths and better performance than the memory used in the Steam Deck.

Steam Deck: Performance and Benchmarks

The hardware of the Steam Deck is oriented towards the HD resolution (720p). While the hardware installed is weaker on paper compared to next-gen consoles or many modern gaming PCs, the Steam Deck must calculate at a significantly lower resolution. Valve has also reiterated that all your games should run on the Steam Deck.

How fast is the Steam Deck? There are already first unofficial benchmarks for the Steam Deck. You should approach this performance with a healthy dose of skepticism.

GameSettingsFramerate (FPS)
Shadow of The Tomb RaiderHigh30+ FPS
Shadow of The Tomb RaiderCustom60+ FPS
Doom EternalLow60 FPS
Doom EternalCustom46 FPS
DOTA 2High47 FPS
DOTA 2Low Settings80 FPS
Cyberpunk 2077High Settings20 – 30 FPS

Apart from these benchmarks, there is currently no comparable AMD hardware that can be compared to the Steam Deck. The combination of Zen-2 CPU and RDNA-2 GPU has not yet been seen in this form, as AMD’s desktop APUs utilize a combination of Zen-2 CPU and Vega graphics, which are based on older technology.

What we do know for sure is that the theoretical total performance of the Steam Deck is 2 teraflops. The CPU with 448 GFlops and the graphics unit with 1.6 teraflops together yield the mentioned number.

We will have to wait a few more weeks for further benchmarks and data about the handheld. Currently (as of October 19, 2021), there are still many questions unanswered.

If you are looking for a handheld console but the Steam Deck has not convinced you so far, MeinMMO presents you with four promising alternatives that can also handle gaming:

Fortnite: Unlock and obtain the new Tilted World Scythe – Here’s how

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, a new weapon has been introduced to the game. It is a new Tilted weapon and offers unique features. We will show you where to find it and how to get it.

What kind of weapon is this? This is a melee weapon. Just like the Sword of the Ice King, this weapon is designed for close combat. The scythe can also cover wide distances with its movements and sweep across multiple enemies.

How do I get this scythe? To do this, you need to enter the notorious “Tilted Worlds” and open chests there. These Kevin-like chests are usually found scattered all around the Tilted World.

This is what the dimension looks like from the inside – Chests are located near such monoliths

Can this weapon be upgraded? Yes, this Tilted scythe can be upgraded, like any other Tilted weapon, with cube fragments. You obtain these fragments by defeating cube monsters or you can buy them from the cube assassins.

How do you fight with the scythe? Its move set is very expansive and mainly geared towards speed. Hypex, a well-known leaker in the Fortnite scene, tested the weapon and published a video about it on Twitter:

Link to the Twitter content

This weapon can also excel in ranged combat, as with the push of a button, you perform a large jump in your chosen direction.

What should I pay attention to in a fight? If you possess the weapon, you should rather act from ambush. An aggressive advance could lead to a quick end due to a shotgun pump. If you are in a Tilted World, use this weapon to fill your rounds in this dimension faster. Since the cube monsters usually fight up close, you can quickly chop them to pieces without using any ammunition.

You can find interesting things about Fortnite here:

However, if you are in a fight against an opponent with the scythe, you can quickly end that person with an SMG or a pump. Still, don’t be hesitant to use this weapon in battle, as it can surely lead to some cool fights.

Have you already tested this weapon, and if so, what do you think of it? Let us know in the comments how you feel about this new weapon.

German Twitch streamer earns over 100,000 € in 2 weeks – This is how he did it

Kevin Willing Kevin Willing Reading time 2 minutes

The German Twitch streamer XRohat has been playing with the big streamers on Twitch for less than half a year, yet he has raised over 100,000 euros in the last two weeks. How did he manage that?

Who is XRohat? XRohat has been streaming since the beginning of 2019, but for a long time only for a small audience. It wasn’t until September 2021 that he celebrated his first major successes.

From 20 viewers at the beginning, the number grew to several hundred, and now sometimes up to 14,000 fans are watching simultaneously (via sullygnome.com).

The Hamburg streamer owes this mainly to GTA Online RP, through which he has become very well-known in recent months.

The development of XRohat’s viewer numbers.

2 Weeks Marathon Stream Boosting Him Crazy

This is how the Subathon works: For 17 days now, XRohat has been live on Twitch continuously. He spends a lot of time in GTA Online, closely followed by sleeping. Because even when XRohat is not gaming, he is constantly filming himself. This pays off, as even while he is dreaming, 3,400 people are watching him.

The planned end of the marathon is on October 25th. Then XRohat will take a break.

However, the marathon also means that fans are constantly subscribing. If fans suddenly stop paying, the streamer will end the broadcast – not forever, of course. The more fans donate, the longer the streamer will stay live.

Is it worth it? So far, he has earned around 110,000 € through this concept, an unbelievable sum. Since he has just reached the halfway point, this amount could double again.

Thanks to his continuous stream, XRohat has also rapidly become one of the largest German streamers.

More about Twitch

This is how many subs XRohat has now: On October 19 at 2:00 PM, XRohat had about 26,500 active subscriptions (via twitch-tracker.com). He is now only behind MontanaBlack in first place among German streamers and just ahead of FIFA pro EliasN97.

This is an incredible increase, considering that his sub count was at 1,600 active subscriptions in August 2021. He is nearly matching the success of US streamer Ludwig, who was able to earn around 400,000 US dollars with his Subathon. This is equivalent to around 340,000 €, which Ludwig earned in just 186 hours.

On top of that, there are the donations that XRohat has received in the last 17 days. These can only be estimated, but they should amount to at least a five-figure sum.

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Mollimorba and plenty of XP

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the spotlight hour with Mollimorba and an XP bonus begins today, October 19th. You can collect 1.2 million XP in the hour if you throw well. We will show you all the info and tips.

What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, an event of this kind starts in Pokémon GO. During a spotlight hour, a specific Pokémon is in focus for 60 minutes. You will find it at almost every corner and your lure will attract this Pokémon.

Today’s event features the Psychic Pokémon Mollimorba from the 5th generation.

Spotlight Hour with Mollimorba – Bonuses and Times

When does the event start? As you know from other events of this kind, the spotlight hour starts again today at 6:00 PM. After one hour, at 7:00 PM, the event will then end.

What bonuses are there? Almost everywhere in the wild, you will encounter the Psychic Pokémon Mollimorba. This is a good opportunity for you if you want to evolve Galar-Lahmus into Galar-Laschoking.

The event is accompanied by a catch XP bonus. During the event, you will receive double the amount of experience points for catching Pokémon. How to make the best use of this and secure 1.2 million XP, we will reveal to you in the section “Is the spotlight hour with Mollimorba worth it?” further down in the article.

Is there a Shiny Mollimorba? No. The Shiny version of Mollimorba is currently not available in Pokémon GO to find or catch.

Is the spotlight hour with Mollimorba worth it?

How strong is the Pokémon? Mollimorba can evolve into Hypnomorba and Morbitesse. All three Pokémon are not noteworthy in battles and are not “must-haves” in your Pokémon collection. There are many stronger Psychic Pokémon that you can find in our overview of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

Why is the spotlight hour worth it? The spotlight hour is definitely worth it for you today if you want to earn a lot of XP. The catch circle of Mollimorba is large and you can easily land excellent throws while catching.

In combination with a Lucky Egg, you will then receive 4,000 experience points per catch. In an area with many spawns, 5 catches per minute are possible. This results in 300 catches that will bring you a total of 1.2 million experience points.

Additionally, the spotlight hour is useful if you want to evolve Galar-Flegmon into Galar-Laschoking. For this, you need 30 Psychic catches.

More about Pokémon GO

Will you participate in the spotlight hour today and earn a lot of experience points, or do you find the event boring without a Shiny and with a weak fighter? Let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.

In the coming days, there will still be a lot to do in the game for you, as more events are coming up. In the overview of all events in October in Pokémon GO you can see exactly what content to expect in the next days.

When will CoD Vanguard be released? The shooter seems to be coming on November 5. Until then, we should know more precisely which exclusive content will come for PS4 and PS5.

For which platforms will the shooter be available? CoD Vanguard will be released on PC, the new consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as on the older consoles Xbox One and PS4.

Activision has confirmed in the latest trailer that the new Call of Duty Vanguard will receive time-exclusive content for PS4 and PS5. This does not sit well with players on other platforms. How long the exclusivity is planned and how players react to it, you can find out here with us on MeinMMO.

What is the deal with the exclusive content? For several years, Call of Duty has been offering exclusive content for PlayStation consoles with new installments. This is the case again with CoD Vanguard, as shown in recent trailers.

Which content is exclusive? This is not yet fully clear. According to CharlieIntel, two additional slots for your loadouts have definitely been confirmed so far. This means PlayStation players will have two more loadouts for their equipment setups.

It remains to be seen what other content will come. There was also an exclusive deal for Cold War that even went too far for Sony fans.

At that time, PlayStation players received the following content:

  • Battle Pass Bundle Bonus: If you purchased the premium battle pass, 5 additional levels, totaling 25 levels, were unlocked.
  • PlayStation Party Bonus: Players on PlayStation received a 25 percent bonus on weapon XP when playing in a team (even with non-PS players).
  • Double XP Bonus: Every month there were 24-hour events in which PlayStation players received double XP.
  • Extra Loadouts: PlayStation players received two additional slots for loadouts.
  • Zombie Mode Onslaught: This additional game mode for Zombies was initially only available on PlayStation. Other platforms received the mode only on November 1, 2021 – just before the launch of CoD Vanguard.

Whether the bonuses will be as generous this year remains to be seen. Players are, however, fearing the worst.

How long are the contents exclusive? In the last trailers for the zombie mode, there was a promotional note about the exclusive content. Here, November 1 is mentioned as the end of the time exclusivity, as was the case this year with Cold War.

“I’m not saying this just because I’m an Xbox guy, but there should NOT be exclusivity.”

This is how fans react: Reactions are mixed. On one hand, most players are not really surprised and have already gotten used to the procedure.

  • Nevertheless, there are still numerous fans who do not endorse this practice at all. Coolade even goes so far as to call it fraud: “I’m not saying this just because I’m an Xbox guy, but exclusivity should NOT exist. […] Locking content to a specific platform is in a way equivalent to fraud.” (via Twitter)
  • Discount adds: “I also don’t see why we should suffer from it.” (via Twitter).
  • Most hope especially that this time there will be no exclusive content for the zombie mode. They fear major disadvantages from this deal.
  • RyTheZombieGuy writes: “I find it just stupid how they think it won’t have any consequences for the community if they make something exclusive for a year. Especially since every Onslaught map contains information and things like blueprints.” (via Twitter)

Which content exactly falls under this deal remains to be seen. However, the fact that the hints about exclusivity have appeared in the new trailers for the zombie mode makes players particularly skeptical.

The story was recently revealed in a substantial trailer: In the zombie mode of CoD Vanguard, you save Europe from an army of armored Nazi zombies.

More about CoD Vanguard:

The topic of exclusivity regularly causes discussions. Every console manufacturer tries to convince customers of its platform with such content.

Recently, Sony has really caused a stir. Whether with deals like in the CoD series or with Marvel’s Avengers, where Spider-Man is released as an exclusive DLC, for example.

When will CoD Vanguard be released? The shooter seems to be coming on November 5. Until then, we should know more precisely which exclusive content will come for PS4 and PS5.

For which platforms will the shooter be available? CoD Vanguard will be released on PC, the new consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as on the older consoles Xbox One and PS4.

Soccer professional became a joke to the FIFA legend – fans demand a monument in FIFA 22

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Christian Gauseth became known as “the guy with the funny cards” even before FIFA 22. Now, the Norwegian is facing retirement. A perfect opportunity for one last major upgrade, fans believe.

Who is this about? Christian Gauseth plays in midfield for the Norwegian top-tier club Mjøndalen IF. Gauseth has been lacing up his football boots for the club since 2013, so he has been part of the team’s roster for quite some time.

But now it seems the 37-year-old wants to hang up his boots: Gauseth announced on Instagram that 2021 would be his last year on the pitch. He would miss it and he loved being a footballer – but now new challenges lie ahead (via Instagram).

But it wasn’t just fans of the Norwegian club who took note of the statement. FIFA 22 players also reacted to Gauseth’s impending retirement. Because: in the FIFA series, he has become something of a cult figure.

Christian Gauseth, the man with the funny cards

What makes Gauseth special? The Norwegian doesn’t have exactly the best stats. His bronze card won’t necessarily help him secure rewards in the Weekend League.

No, it wasn’t the numbers that made him famous among FIFA fans – but rather his tendency to make funny faces.

Gauseth apparently did this regularly for official player photos. And they kept appearing in Ultimate Team as well. At least when his club was participating in the first Norwegian league, which wasn’t always the case.

FIFA 22 Gauseth
Gauseth’s cards through the years – unfortunately, FIFA 22 only had new stats and no new picture.

Fans demand a monument for Gauseth: After Gauseth announced his upcoming retirement, the fan favorite was quickly discussed in the FIFA subreddit. One thing is clear: the man deserves a monument in the game, as the general consensus goes. Here are a few examples:

  • “He needs an EOAE card,” says user Burt-Macklin-26 (via reddit). These end-of-an-era cards are often very strong and have been given for instance at the retirement of Rooney or Robben.
  • “If they had a sense of humor, they would give him a special card and make him pull a face for the dynamic image,” hopes user LegendoftheHaschel (via reddit).
  • “I’m going to buy this guy in my career mode and give him a ton of money. Let the guy retire with a fortune” plans another user for a very personal farewell gift (via reddit). Gauseth surely still has a few good tips for the young talents in career mode.
  • “He deserves a tribute,” summarizes another comment simply (via reddit).

One shouldn’t expect an extremely strong card for Gauseth – but who knows. Perhaps there will be a small upgrade for the Norwegian, who brought joy to many fans. At least EA Sports has occasionally shown humor in the past regarding quirky stories from the game.

For example, a funny animation caused a lot of discussions where a 60-year-old coach outran his players. And at least on social media, the developers had a little laugh too.

Do other items drop besides jewelry? Each of these monsters also drops other valuable items. So it can happen that you also find one of the 133 legendary weapons or legendary armor.

More New World tips & guides:

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:

Destiny 2 players ask Bungie to lift all limits: “Let us play the damn game”

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 6 minutes

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.
  • The current cap on your Glimmer is at 250,000.
  • Your vault is limited to 500 equipment items.
  • 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.

Destiny 2: Guide to the Halloween Event 2021 – This is how you find Haunted Sectors
von Britta ♤ BeAngel

Players want the removal of all artificial limits

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.”

What Destiny 2 players are currently upset about:

Why does Destiny 2 limit its players at all?

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.

How to farm the lore pages for the Halloween event, we have summarized in this article.

Genshin Impact: All locations of the 47 special chests containing blueprints

Sayumi (Lena) Sayumi (Lena) Reading time 4 minutes

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.

More about Genshin Impact on MeinMMO

A secret special chest on Watatsumi

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.

Fans choose new mob for Minecraft and blame YouTuber for everything

Sayumi (Lena) Sayumi (Lena) Reading time 3 minutes

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.

Link to the Twitter content
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.

von Schuhmann

Fake screenshot goes viral on TikTok

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.

https://twitter.com/soggyeboy/status/1449418421309956099?s=20
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:

https://twitter.com/dreamwastaken/status/1449635138804011009?s=20

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:

Others replied with irony to Dream’s Twitter post:

  • KarlJacobs_: “Alright buddy. Thanks for manipulating it [the vote] again. Dummy.”
  • TommyInnit: “I don’t care, you’re evil.”
  • 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.

CoD Warzone: All information about the Halloween event “The Haunting” 2021 – Skins, Bundles, Weapons

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 5 minutes

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.

Update October 20: Here you will find a guide with tips for the event tasks that will allow you to unlock the new MP quickly.

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

Zombies receives a new Outbreak variant

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 event ends shortly before the official release of CoD Vanguard. There, there is also a zombie mode. There you save Europe from an army of armored Nazi zombies.

Twitch employees say there was actually a “Do Not Ban List” for streamers with special status

Kevin Willing Kevin Willing Reading time 3 minutes

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.

More about Twitch

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-youtube-wechsel
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.

Tyler1 returned in 2018 after a two-year pause from League Of Legends and was suddenly the big winner on Twitch.

Tyler1-Titel-LoL.v1
A controversial streamer: Tyler1.

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.

DOTA 2: Putin congratulates the Russian team on their World Cup victory – Sounds like he is awarding military orders

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

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)

More on the topic

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.

I wish you great success and good luck.

Vladimir Putin

(via kremlin.ru, translated with deepl.com)

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.

Even before the big International 2021, DOTA 2 has distributed a total of 235 million dollars in prize money – but only 0.002% of it went to women.

Niantic says: Kecleon is supposed to become a very special monster at the release in Pokémon GO

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 3 minutes

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.

Michael Sterenka (via eurogamer.net)

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).

More about Pokémon GO:

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 a few days, “Spooky Companions,” the 2nd part of the current event in Pokémon GO will start. We will show you the cool new monsters for the Halloween event.

FIFA 22: FGS Exchange – How to get the free rewards

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

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.

FIFA 22 FGS swap
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.

If you are more interested in FIFA 22 this might also appeal to you:

What do I get if I watch? There are supposed to be up to 5 bonuses per event, the longer you watch a stream – these include:

  • An FGS token
  • Various FGS cosmetics with which you can equip your club

As soon as there is more information on which events will participate in terms of tokens, we will keep you updated!

Do you prefer to play yourself rather than watch others? Then we have some strong formations and tactics for Ultimate Team that can help you secure victories.

New World: Players make themselves invulnerable: “Is completely game breaking”

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Migsy via New World Forum

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.”

More about New World on MeinMMO:

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.
