Many exotic weapons have their particularities in Destiny 2. The cooler it is when weapons perfectly match your abilities and grant you bonuses. We at MeinMMO show you which weapon perfectly harmonizes with the Stasis super and whether this is the beginning of more.
Which weapon is meant?Agers Scepter is the piece in question. This exotic trace rifle can be obtained during the seasonal quest “A Hopeless Coronation.” With its exotic perk “Agers Call,” you can freeze all nearby enemies after a kill. This gives you a weapon that is perfect for add control.
But that’s not all. Players have discovered that this weapon perfectly harmonizes with the Stasis super. Could this also happen with your old Light classes?
Agers Scepter and the Stasis class harmonize together
This has only been somewhat present in Destiny 2 so far. This discovery could revolutionize the combat system. Since the dusty Light classes don’t allow this yet, it would be worthwhile to take a look at the new synergy first.
How do they work together? The Stasis super has many fragments and aspects that harmonize with the exotic trace rifle from the 15th season. For example, if you use the Iceflare Aspect, you can generate seekers with every destroyed Stasis crystal.
This is the weapon behind all the wonders
These seekers freeze all surrounding enemies, and when the crystals are destroyed again, more seekers appear that cause the same effect. Since only melee, grenade, or the Warlock’s super could freeze enemies, Agers Scepter is a very good addition in this regard. Now you can determine when your enemies should be frozen.
Could more Light classes follow? It’s possible. Bungie announced a rework of all light classes anyway. It could be conceivable that the Void class creates a black hole with a kill from Void, pulling everything in close proximity and dying from a final explosion, just like with the Lorentz Driver.
Many cool ideas can be gathered this way, and there remains plenty of room for one’s own imagination. Here Bungie also shows us that such synergies make the game more exciting.
What could be in store for you? With the impending war between Light and Darkness, it becomes clear that a wide range of abilities will be necessary to survive.
Bungie is creating a deepening of the game through such changes in Destiny 2, which also imposes certain basic requirements on the player. Without taking time to figure out which aspects and fragments are the right ones, you will be impossible to survive in the future.
I, for my part, am looking forward to such a change because I missed the Destiny 1 ability system. The synergy with weapons makes it even more delightful.
Now it’s your turn. What do you think of the synergy of the exotic trace rifle with the Stasis super? Are you also looking forward to the big changes in this regard? Feel free to let us know in the comments what you think.

You want to play a new MMORPG but don’t necessarily want to spend money on New World and the like? And actually, you prefer to play alone, but the possibility of gaming with others is still cool? Then Mist Legacy (PC) is something for you.
What is Mist Legacy? The MMORPG launched in Early Access on October 5 and has been available on Steam since then. It has received over 70% positive reviews, but also solid critiques.
Mist Legacy emphasizes the RPG aspect of MMORPGs and is, in many ways, a classic role-playing game, reminiscent of Dungeons and Dragons. Played from a top-down perspective, if you don’t want to have players around, you can surround yourself with NPCs.
The battles are turn-based and completely classless. It relies similarly to New World on a classless character system, where you get better at the things you do regularly.
The game places a strong emphasis on an exciting crafting system, where you can fundamentally craft everything from everything, and there are no pre-made blueprints for items. The world itself also plays a major role in Mist Legacy, as you have different abilities depending on where you are.
What are the core features? Mist Legacy offers a number of core features, many of which are aimed at solo players.
A story that guides you through the MMORPG
A classless character system where you level up what you do
Turn-based battles where you can play with friends as well as NPCs
Areas with effects so that you receive different bonuses when you are in cities, in forests, or in different weather
Housing system with gameplay influence
Various PvE content like dungeons and bosses
The overworld of Mist Legacy resembles table-top RPGs
RPG in focus of the MMORPG
How does it feel to play? The MMORPG gives you the freedom to mostly go solo and is thus perfect for solo players. For all battles, you can call on your NPC supporters at any time, so you are not dependent on other players or friends.
You can play Mist Legacy as a single-player RPG if you don’t feel like having other people around. However, you can use the trading post at any time, where players can offer and buy their found and crafted items.
How does crafting work? Mist Legacy presents an exciting concept in crafting, as you can essentially create any item from any other item. There are no fixed recipes or blueprints for items.
Much more, you can experiment with what happens if you swap the wood of a chair, for example, for metal. There are always ways to optimize your crafting and produce better items using different materials.
How do battles play out? The battles in Mist Legacy are turn-based, and you always enter the ring in groups of three. For this, you can take two other players with you or your NPC colleagues who are always ready.
Regarding the combat system, five specializations await you that you can level up and thus improve. You can then assign corresponding specializations to your NPCs and thus form an effective three-person team that can withstand any danger.
The turn-based battles always take place in groups of three
What does RPG focus mean? At heart, Mist Legacy is an RPG, but actually in every other “body part” as well. Action elements, as known in many MMORPGs, are absent here. Jumping, dodging, climbing, or similar maneuvers do not exist.
If your hero needs to accomplish something, there is a skill in the game that is related to it and in which he can improve. This offers a lot of room to customize your own character just the way you want it.
Community is excited but has one major criticism
What is the sentiment? The Steam reviews of Mist Legacy are currently mostly positive with 117 reviews. Most players are thus pleased with the MMORPG for solo players.
However, there are criticisms regarding the issue of Pay2Win. As with many Free2Play titles, Mist Legacy also offers an in-game shop where you can buy items for real money. With the items offered, you can save a lot of waiting time and, for example, buy experience bonuses. This has raised concerns among some fans.
What do the players say? We summarize some of the Steam comments for you to give you an insight into the opinions of the community (via Steam).
The user isomer_ writes: ‘It has a unique style for an MMORPG, good job!’
After almost 20 hours in the game, Ligma writes: ‘The game is fantastic, but I want to point out some things to address the many negative comments here. […] The game is still in Early Access, so there are some server issues and you occasionally get kicked out. But that’s not a big deal, and the developers have already confirmed they are working on it. Yes, the cash shop is there, and the only way to repair items is to spend about 2 cents. But why would you do that? It’s easier to just recreate the item. […] The game is really a lot of fun, especially as a solo experience.’
After 23 hours, the user I’m Nobody writes: ‘It’s good enough for a small team that is doing its best to make the game a reality. Give it a try, it costs nothing and the community is nice and helpful.’
Have you perhaps already checked out Mist Legacy or are you now considering it? How do you like the concept of the game? When is the cash shop a problem for you that would prevent you from playing a game? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.
Bad news for fans of DreamHack Leipzig. Because the popular LAN event will no longer take place in this form, and the licensor has not extended the contracts. Nevertheless, Leipzig does not want to completely neglect the topic of gaming and is planning something new. Learn everything we know about the matter here on MeinMMO!
What has been officially announced? Recently, the organization of the Leipzig Messe shared a sad announcement: The popular gaming event DreamHack Leipzig will not only be canceled in 2021 but will die forever.
The Swedish licensor DreamHack AB will therefore not continue the contract with the Leipziger Messe. Thus, there will be no further edition of DreamHack Leipzig under the direction of Leipziger Messe and their partner Schenker Technologies/XMG.
What was DreamHack? DreamHack was a local gaming festival and essentially the largest LAN party in the entire country. Every year, gamers could gather in Leipzig to play together, watch exciting eSports tournaments, and experience their favorite pro gamers live.
The last DreamHack was in January 2020 and recorded a visitor record of 23,300 fans and 2,000 players who played live. Shortly thereafter, Corona began, and in 2021, the event only took place online. At that time, we at MeinMMO were also involved.
DreamHacks take place in various locations around the world, including Valencia, London, Montreal, and Stockholm.
Licensor withdraws, but organizers do not give up
What do the organizers say about it: Despite the bad news from Sweden, the Leipzig Messe is fighting and is by no means ready to simply let the matter go. Because – according to the organizers – they know how to put together a decent gaming event.
That’s why the organizers confidently tweet:
“We promise you: We will be back. See you again next Thursday in the stream! <3”
How is the situation received by the fans? The fans of DreamHack are understandably upset about the end of “their” event and are glad that the organizers do not want to simply stop. They hope that there will still be a comparable event in Germany, as very few want to travel to other countries for a LAN.
Slaycex via Twitter: “Very sad to read this. There were great memories at DreamHack. I always looked forward to going there and seeing great people. I hope you find a new location so that we can meet again with people and the community in the coming years.”
BloodyMely: via Twitter: “Honestly … I am really extremely angry. But not at you, rather (excuse my words) at DreamHack AB. And I say this as a true Sweden fan. So, 2020 was my last DreamHack. I hold on to Leipzig, and no, I am not traveling around the ‘world’.”
co_Jack via Twitter: “It feels a bit like canceling Christmas… it has always been a great time and was actually a tradition! I hope there will be a Christmas 2.0 soon; otherwise, I don’t know how I will meet all the awesome people at once.”
There clearly isn’t a lack of support and interest from the community. It remains to be seen what the organizers will reveal in their stream soon.
So much for the official announcement about the end of DreamHack Leipzig. What do you think about the matter? Have you ever visited DreamHack, or do you not care much because LAN parties are no longer relevant in the Corona age? Let us know in the comments.

Here you will find all important information about the release of Battlefield 2042, the beta, and the contents of the multiplayer shooter from DICE and EA.
When does Battlefield 2042 come out? The shooter will be released on November 19, 2021. This is the most current date; Battlefield 2042 was originally supposed to be released on October 22.
However, due to the Corona pandemic, there were difficulties during development, which forced developers Dice and publisher Electronic Arts to postpone the release.
The early access phase of the open beta is already underway. Starting October 8, all players can try out the shooter for the first time. We will follow the launch of the open beta for you in the live ticker.
Here you will also find a trailer for Battlefield 2042:

As is known from the series, the shooter offers a selection of maps and modes focused on massive warfare.
Players compete in either 32v32 (Xbox One and PS4) or 64vs64 matches (Xbox Series, PS5, and PC)
There are three major, different areas of multiplayer: All-Out Warfare, Portal, and Hazard Zone
There are a total of 13 maps at the release of Battlefield 2042
7 in all modes, 6 map classics in Portal mode
There will be a total of 10 specialists at launch
What exactly Hazard Zone entails is still a secret
There is crossplay between platforms, but only to a limited extent
There will be seasons and battle passes
What about story? This year, Battlefield is skipping a story campaign and focusing on multiplayer. However, that doesn’t mean there’s no story. It will just be told within the framework of multiplayer and in the Hazard mode.
What about anti-cheat measures? In a statement, DICE has commented extensively on the topic. Battlefield 2042 will show no mercy to cheaters and will immediately ban every caught cheater without prior notice.
On Saturday, October 9, 2021, the monthly Community Day in Pokémon GO will take place again. In October, everything revolves around Zwirrlicht. We at MeinMMO will show you what to expect on this day and how to take full advantage of it.
What kind of event is it? Every month, a special event takes place for trainers in Pokémon GO: the Community Day. A specific Pokémon is always in focus, which spawns more frequently during the event period and is also easier to obtain in its shiny form.
You will therefore have a good chance of encountering one or another Shiny on this day. Additionally, there will be a few bonuses again. In October, everything revolves around the Ghost Pokémon Zwirrlicht.
Community Day in October 2021 – Start time and bonuses
What? The Community Day with Zwirrlicht When? Saturday, October 9, 2021, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time Pokémon of the day: Zwirrlicht spawns more frequently in the wild during the event Exclusive move: Shadow Ball, if Zwirrlicht evolves into Zwirrfinst by 7:00 PM Bonuses: – 3x Stardust when catching Pokémon – Lure lasts 3 hours – Incense lasts for 3 hours – free limited research on Zwirrlicht to obtain Sinnoh Stones – a surprise when you take snapshots
For the Community Day with Zwirrlicht, you will again have 6 hours to catch the Ghost Pokémon. By using incense and lures, especially many Zwirrlicht will be attracted. Therefore, playing from home should not be a problem.
Are there additional items in the in-game shop? Yes, you can purchase additional items in the in-game shop during this Community Day:
A Community Day box with 50 Ultra Balls, 4 incenses, 4 star pieces, and a premium raid pass for 1,280 PokéCoins
How to make the most of the Community Day in October
Make these preparations: As with every event, you should collect enough balls since they are essential for catching Pokémon. To avoid having to restock on balls immediately on Saturday, you should have at least 350 balls in reserve.
Additionally, you should also make space in your Pokémon storage. This way, you can focus entirely on catching without constantly evaluating and sending off your Pokémon.
The event with Zwirrlicht will also grant you a special move. You will receive it for evolving into Zwirrfinst. But beware, this Pokémon can only be evolved with a Sinnoh Stone, so don’t discard that item.
Use these items: Besides having enough space in your bag and a decent supply of balls, you should also pay attention to having a sufficient amount of star pieces for the Community Day with Zwirrlicht. One star piece lasts for 30 minutes and gives you 50% more stardust during that time.
Given the triple stardust bonus that will already be in effect when catching, the additional item on Saturday is particularly worthwhile.
To ensure as many Zwirrlicht spawn as possible and to make the most out of the star piece, you should also consider using incense and lures. You will need 2 of each for the whole day. Since you will need some candies for evolving and leveling Zwirrfinst, it’s a good idea to use Nanab Berries when catching.
Use these items for Community Day
Is the Community Day with Zwirrlicht worth it?
How strong will it be? Zwirrlicht is a Ghost-type Pokémon from Generation 3. It is not among the strongest Pokémon and cannot impress with its stats. Therefore, it is also unsuitable for use in the PvP League or in raids.
Its evolutions, Zwirrklop and Zwirrfinst, are not among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. Although the new special move ‘Shadow Ball’ is expected to be the strongest one for Zwirrfinst, you should rely on better candidates in the PvP League and in raids (via pvpoke.com).
Is there a shiny form of Zwirrlicht? Yes, Zwirrlicht has been available in its shiny form in the game for some time. You can recognize it by its reddish-brown body. This color continues with Zwirrklop. Zwirrfinst stands out in its shiny form with a bluish-gray body.
Zwirrlicht, Zwirrklop, and Zwirrfinst normal (top) and shiny (bottom)
Is the event worth it? Even if Zwirrlicht and its evolutions are not among the best attackers, you should take part in the Community Day. The reason is the triple stardust bonus that you will receive on that day.
Stardust is one of the most important currencies in the game, and you need it for leveling up or trading Pokémon. Therefore, this is a good opportunity to boost your stardust balance.
Additionally, shiny hunters will also have their chance during the Community Day. If you haven’t yet caught Zwirrlicht in its shiny form, you should definitely seize this opportunity.
What do you think of the Community Day with Zwirrlicht? Will you participate in this event or will you rather skip it this month? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and chat with other trainers.
By the way: If you want to make even better use of the stardust bonus, then wait to redeem an egg quest until Saturday. We have looked at why this can be helpful and explain it to you.

In FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, the Weekend League is the toughest and most lucrative competition. Here are 7 tips for a strong start in FUT Champions.
This is the Weekend League: The FUT Champions Weekend League is the most important and toughest competition in FIFA Ultimate Team. There are the best rewards in the form of coins, packs, and player picks where you can receive guaranteed TOTW players.
Unlike in previous years, the competition does not take place solely on weekends anymore. FUT Champions is divided in FIFA 22 into play-offs and finals. The play-offs take place during the week and the finals are still held on weekends.
But no matter if you play the FUT Champions play-offs or the finals on the weekend. We’ll tell you on MeinMMO what you need to do to get as many wins as possible.
About the Author: Julian Schröder (32) manages the FIFA series games on MeinMMO. He has been playing FIFA for over 20 years and has spent numerous hours in the Weekend League in FIFA 21 (as well as in the predecessors).
When does the first Weekend League start? If you have qualified for the finals, the first Weekend League will start on October 8, 2021.
You can find everything about the process and rewards of FUT Champions here:
Before you start in the Weekend League, it is advisable to play a warm-up match in Division Rivals or Squad Battles first. It often takes a little while for your fingers to warm up, the skill moves to click, and to actually get into competition mode.
A warm-up game can therefore help you get into the right FIFA mood. Especially since your opponent is likely already warmed up from previous games.
Always stay concentrated
If you take an early lead with several goals in the Weekend League and already believe in a safe victory, concentration can easily slip away. You look at your phone, think of something else and suddenly the opponent scores goal after goal.
To prevent this, you should try to always remain concentrated and give your all until the last minute. Many players also find it helpful to listen to music or turn off the commentators to stay more focused.
Never give up
In football, anything can happen and the same goes for FIFA. So don’t give up the game early if you are two goals down in the 80th minute. With concentration, you can still manage to score the necessary goals and secure the win.
However, if you lose concentration, become frustrated and no longer believe in victory, the game is already lost.
Play with your best players and the best formation
There is no room for experiments in the Weekend League. When you start the competition, your top eleven should be on the field. In addition, you should have thoroughly tested your formation and tactics beforehand in Division Rivals, so you are familiar with the runs and positions of your players.
Be sure to have a strong bench as well. Being able to bring on some strong super-subs towards the end can often determine victory.
Don’t put pressure on yourself
Feeling like you absolutely have to get a certain number of wins is not a good premise for the Weekend League. You should think game by game and not build pressure on yourself. Then the game will feel much more relaxed.
Time pressure is also an important factor. Don’t play another game if you really don’t have time and your mind is already elsewhere.
Take enough breaks
Although the Weekend League has been reduced to 10 games, so only 20 games remain. However, trying to complete them as quickly as possible is often not a good idea.
If you are currently on a losing streak, it can be tempting to want to “at least end with a win.” But that can go really wrong: You keep playing, lose your enjoyment, and your concentration – and lose game after game. It’s better to take a break and play later.
So take a break and try again later or the next day.
Engage with the FIFA 22 meta
In the Weekend League, you will face experienced players who will know the game very well. So as not to be at a disadvantage, it is important to know which passes, shots, and tricks are effective in FIFA 22. Here’s a brief overview:
These are the strongest shots:
Long shots from outside the box: Hold R1/RB and charge the shot button.
Power shot from inside the box: Hold the shot button and aim for the far corner.
Targeted low shot from close range: Hold R1/RB and L1/LB, charge the shot button, and aim for the desired corner.
The most effective tricks:
Lobbed through ball for a deadly pass: Hold L1 (LB) and tap Triangle (Y) twice at the right moment.
Full power cross to switch sides: Hold R1 (RB) and then press Square (X).
Feinted shot for a sudden change of direction: Press the shot button and then L2 + R2 (LT + RT) and push the stick in the desired direction.
For more details, be sure to check out our tips and tricks for FIFA 22:
If you internalize and heed these tips, nothing will stand in the way of your success in the FUT Champions Weekend League.
What is your formula for success in the Weekend League? And are you looking forward to the first Weekend League of FUT 22? Feel free to share it with us in the comments!

Last week a drama unfolded in the world of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. People had invested cryptocurrency worth several million US dollars in the virtual apes of “Evolved Apes”, but the developer reportedly absconded with the money. He allegedly made off with units of the cryptocurrency “Ethereum” worth 2.3 million Euros.
This is Evolved Apes:
The idea of Evolved Apes was for players to buy one of 10,000 “unique apes”. The ape serves as their limited, signed digital property through NFT technology – a type of collectible and investment.
The apes, living in a “lawless land”, were expected to battle each other in a fighting game, where the “strongest ape prevails.” The battles were supposed to involve rewards like the cryptocurrency “Ethereum”. Without these virtual fights, the virtual apes were essentially just JPG files.
The apes were sold at auction. The money was actually intended for the project’s further development.
All project accounts deleted – Project head “Evil Ape” has vanished
This is the problem with the project: As reported by Vice, the project head, a certain “Evil Ape”, absconded with 2.7 million US dollars in Ethereum. He secured the money in several transactions.
Meanwhile, the official Twitter account of the project and the website have been deleted.
It is said that all the money intended for the development and financing of the game is now gone. Even the one who created the images of the virtual apes has not been paid.
Trust no “Evil Ape”
Was nobody suspicious? Customers had noticed some irregularities in the operation: The announcements appeared unprofessional and some of the project’s leaders had disappeared. However, it was attributed to the inexperience of the actors.
Ultimately, the community realized that the winners of promotions on social media were not receiving NFT prizes. The community then came together and elected one of their investors, “Mike_Cryptobull”, who had invested about $10,000 in the project, as their spokesman. He then found out that the project head, “Evil Ape”, had absconded with the money.
What happens now? The investors do not want to be satisfied with their loss, but instead want to relaunch the project as “Fight Back Apes”.
They have now declared the villain “Evil Ape” as their arch-enemy.
Here’s the background: On Twitter, a user writes that he does not understand how such a scam works. One just has to paint “ugly pixel art” and someone pays $40,000 for it? Someone should create a guide for him on how to set up an NFT scam so he can pay off his student loan (via twitter).
For many people, it is completely incomprehensible how one can spend tens of thousands of Euros on virtual items, even if they are limited through the NFT system. For them, such operations are anyway a virtual “scam”.
In the case of “Evolved Apes”, the worst fears have now come true.
How much money can be made with NFTs is demonstrated by a former Twitch streamer:
With Season 6 of Call of Duty: Warzone, there are loot bunkers again. Overall, there are 3 bunkers distributed across the map, and MeinMMO will show you where to find them.
What’s going on in Warzone? The new Season 6 has started and left some marks on Call of Duty: Warzone. A large crater now runs through the city and has destroyed the stadium and parts of downtown. You can find the patch notes for Season 6 here.
The story behind the explosion and the crater also involves bunkers from World War II – likely a hint at the new CoD: Vanguard, which features a World War setting. Overall, there are 3 bunkers that offer you a lot of loot for your matches. We’ll show you where to find the entrances.
CoD Warzone: Bunker Locations in Season 6
Where are the 3 bunkers? Unlike the earlier bunkers, you don’t need any codes to start a loot fest. Remember the positions and visit the locations when it fits your match:
Bunker 1: Northeast of Array
Bunker 2: East of the airport hangars
Bunker 3: Northeast of Boneyard
The entrances to the bunkers are easy to recognize. Look for a stack of red containers. Inside the containers, you’ll find a hole to rappel down into. However, these are not the only entrances – there are also additional accesses from the sides that can be entered without rappelling.
What can you find there? The bunkers offer you a nice pile of loot and can be a good target at the beginning of a match. You will find killstreaks, boxes, and cash here. However, you won’t find the strong bunker loot with high-tier items like the ‘specialist bonus’ here. The really good stuff is still only available through the ‘Red Doors’.
Season 6 is the last excursion to Verdansk and the last shared season with Black Ops Cold War. With the release of Vanguard on November 5, a new era begins for CoD, and Warzone goes along – just like back then with Cold War.
However, the adjustments will be much deeper than with the last change. A completely new map, the Vanguard engine, anti-cheat – Warzone is cleaning up and will likely change a lot.
In FIFA 22 there is again a Squad Battles glitch. Players found a trick to make the matches against the AI in Ultimate Team easier.
Where does the glitch work? The glitch can only be used in Squad Battles. Here, you don’t play against real opponents, but against teams controlled by the AI. You can choose opponents from different teams with varying ratings, chemistry values, and multiple difficulty levels.
For each victory, you earn points that advance you in the ranking. Depending on your rank, you can secure Squad Battles rewards once a week.
Players have once again found a way to make Squad Battles matches easier with a trick, thus obtaining rewards more easily. Similar errors occurred in the last FIFA installments after release.
Squad Battles Glitch Keeps Opponents Away
This is the trick: In the FIFA subreddit, user “chummi17” shared a video showing how a player – in this case, Cuadrado – stays in their own corner and repeatedly performs the ball roll (via reddit).

The AI-controlled opponents may lurk around the player, but they do not attack properly. There is no tackle, so there is also no ball recovery for the opponent. Currently, this works at the difficulty “World Class.”
So if you score and then withdraw to the corner, it may happen that you can easily maintain a 1:0 lead and end up winning.
The opponent lurks but does not intervene
Does it work without problems? On one hand, you first have to manage to score before you start rolling the ball in the corner – otherwise, there will be no victory in the end.
Moreover, you have to be careful about how your player moves during the ball roll. Otherwise, you might run out or directly into the opponent. This can result in a loss of ball and may lead to an opponent’s goal. Also, there is the halftime break, after which you need to regain the ball if the opponent kicks off.
Lastly, it is not entirely sure if this works in every single game. Players report that some opponents still make an effort to regain the ball.
Is this completely new? In the past, there have been instances in Squad Battles where players found ways to outsmart the AI. In FIFA 20, for example, this worked with a feigned shot, which apparently impressed the AI so much that it no longer dared to attack. In FIFA 21, on the other hand, it was a specific goalkeeper pass that paralyzed the opponent.
After such tricks emerged, EA Sports typically addressed the issue through an update. Then it was over with the time-wasting and the opponent attacked again. However, the new glitch is still in the game as of now.
How long this glitch lasts this time remains to be seen. In the current update for FIFA 22, there is still no mention of a fix. It primarily concerns goalkeeper and quality improvements.

Summoners battle with summoned dead, poison, and curses in Diablo 2: Resurrected. MeinMMO presents you 2 builds for the powerful necromancers and explains how to play them correctly.
What are these builds? Among the 7 classes of Diablo 2, summoners stand out with their ability to utilize the corpses of deceased enemies for their magic, summon skeletons and golems, or curse enemies with powerful hexes.
MeinMMO introduces you to 2 builds with which you can play necromancers ideally: Bones and Summons. Both builds are extremely strong in solo play and turn summoners into true damage monsters:
The Bonemancer actively uses powerful attack spells and can take a lot of damage – and it’s quite inexpensive to build
Summonmancer does not actively fight, but unleashes armies of the living dead on enemies – the classic “Pet Build”
In the individual sections, we will show you the pros and cons of each build and explain which skills you need and how best to allocate the attributes. There will also be tips for your equipment, playstyle, and a gameplay video.
Bonemancer – Cheap and Easy to Play
Pros
Does not require expensive items to function
Can take a lot of damage due to enormous armor
Primarily deals magical damage, against which only a few enemies can protect themselves
Ideal for beginners
Cons
Less damage than most builds
Damage against bosses is rather moderate; gameplay can become quickly boring here
Extremely mana-intensive
These are the skills you need:
Clay Golem (Summoning) – 1 point
Golem Mastery (Summoning) – 1 point
Monster Resistance (Summoning) – 1 point
Teeth – 20 points
Bone Armor – 1 point
Corpse Explosion – 1 point
Bone Wall – 1 point
Bone Prison – 20 points
Bone Wall – up to 20 points
Bone Spear – 20 points
Bone Spirit – 20 points
Amplify Damage (Curses) – 1 point
Decrepify (Curses) – 1 point
Fear (Curses) – 1 point
Lower Resist (Curses) – 1 point
Any leftover points, or those you save on Bone Wall, can be invested in the Iron Golem
Your most important spells are Bone Spear and Bone Spirit. Try to get these as early as possible. Corpse Explosion does a lot of area damage, but you need some dead enemies first for it to work. Amplify Damage helps with that.
Bone Armor should also be leveled up as quickly as possible. This keeps you alive and saves you a ton of potions. With the Clay Golem, you have an early companion and protector in the game.
Hexes like Lower Resist help especially against stronger bosses. With one skill point into Blood Golem and Iron Golem, you’ll have another strong companion later on. Further down, we will explain to you how exactly the Iron Golem functions.
An example of the Bonemancer build. Built with maxroll.gg
Here’s how to allocate your attribute points:
Strength – Enough to wear the respective equipment
Dexterity – Enough for items or to have 75 % block chance (only with shield and only hardcore)
Vitality – All remaining points into Vitality
Focus – No points
Which items are important? For the build to work, you should create the rune word “White” in a staff (Runes Dol + Io – make sure to use the correct rune!). The rune word enhances your poison and bone skills in general as well as some important skills directly.
With “White”, you already have the tool for most damage at hand. In our guide, we show you all rune words and how to build them. For the remaining equipment, you should pay attention to the following attributes:
Particularly items with the “+Skill” attributes are strong, as these enhance one or several skills. Only then do most builds in Diablo 2 become powerful. Additionally, the class-specific item “Homunculus” can help you. The off-hand increases your block rate enormously and thus saves many points in Dexterity, especially in hardcore mode.
Other rune words can help you to improve further. Some of them are already useful at the beginning:
How do I play the build? Always ensure that your Bone Armor is active. This protects you from damage and ensures that you are not overwhelmed by groups of enemies. Otherwise, take out the first enemies in packs with Bone Spears and let their corpses explode when about 3 or more dead lie there.
Against bosses, you should rather use Bone Spirit, as it deals more damage against individual targets. With the Clay Golem and Lower Resist, you can slow down any opponent so much that they can hardly reach you.
If you want to play cooperatively, you should invest a few more points in curses. As a pure damage dealer, sorceresses are better here, but with Bone Armor, you can temporarily tank. In the gameplay from Diablo 2 expert Dbrunski, you can see the build in action:

Enormously high damage from companions and minions, even against groups
Very safe; enemies can hardly reach you
Easily moves through almost all areas of the game and can quickly take down bosses
It’s entertaining to see dozens of skeletons beat enemies
Cons
More or less dependent on one of the most expensive items
Summons are not always reliable
Takes a lot of time to prepare
These are the skills you need:
Raise Skeleton – 20 points
Skeleton Mastery – 20 points
Clay Golem – 1 point
Blood Golem – 1 point
Iron Golem – 1 point
Raise Skeleton Mage – 1 point
Reanimation – 1 point
Golem Mastery – 20 points
Monster Resistance – 1 point
Teeth (Bone & Poison) – 1 point
Corpse Explosion (Bone & Poison)- 20 points
Amplify Damage (Curses) – 20 points
Remaining points as desired – preferably into other curses like Lower Resist
Raise Skeleton and Skeleton Mastery are your key abilities that you should maximize immediately after assigning the first points into all prerequisites. You should also level the Clay Golem as soon as possible.
Amplify Damage and Corpse Explosion are needed to eliminate groups of enemies. The various curses are useful at higher difficulties to secure your survival and build your army.
Consider the Iron Golem later when you can spare appropriate items. Further down, we will explain how the Iron Golem works exactly.
An example of the Summonmancer build. Built with maxroll.gg
Here’s how to allocate your attribute points:
Strength – Enough to wear the respective equipment
Dexterity – Enough for items or to have 75 % block chance (only with shield and only hardcore)
Vitality – All remaining points into Vitality
Focus – No points
Which items are important? As a Summonmancer, you primarily want the rune word “Enigma”. This grants you the Sorceress ability Teleport. With a teleport, you gather all your summons to yourself to unleash them from there.
The rune word is extremely expensive, regarded as one of the most expensive and best items in the game. On eBay, such armors are occasionally offered for over 2000 euros. Aside from “Enigma”, you should pay attention to the following attributes:
+Skill
higher cast rate
resistances and recovery after being hit
If you have trouble finding runes for your words, you can use the Horadric Cube. With this you can easily upgrade runes. In our guide, you’ll find all the recipes of the Horadric Cube:
How do I play the build? As a Summonmancer, you first need to build up your army. Use your Clay Golem and your Mercenary to eliminate enemies so that you can turn their corpses into skeletons. This can take some time.
Once you have the army, you can teleport through the levels thanks to Enigma, and your minions will follow you. You deal little damage yourself, but your companions, especially the Mercenary, deal significantly more. Skeletons are primarily cannon fodder.
Reanimation is ideally only used against bosses, as the skill can disrupt your companions’ AI. They may then not swarm out on their own. Thanks to the many curses, you are also useful in co-op mode.
In the gameplay video by Diablo 2 expert Dbrunski, you can see what the build looks like in action:

To summon the Iron Golem, you need an item made of metal. The properties of the used item then transfer to the enemy. That’s why the rune word “Infinity” is often used here.
Drop the item on the ground and use the skill on it. The summoned golem will then have the “Conviction” aura, which originally belongs to the Paladin. This lowers the resistances of enemies and thus increases your damage.
Iron Golems remain intact when you switch maps or even games. They accompany you until they die. This makes the use of a rather expensive rune word like “Infinity” worth it by being sacrificed.
Alternatively, you can give your Mercenary the weapon. However, this sacrifices some of the power of the necromancer. You can better use other items or rune words for the Mercenary that can further enhance you.
The builds presented here differ greatly in playstyle but are both excellent for solo runs and farming. Summoners are generally one of the more popular classes for tackling the content of Diablo 2 alone. If you’re new to Resurrected, we have prepared some tips for beginners here:
In the endgame of New World, much revolves around controlling territories in the open world. Companies of different factions can fight each other for this. However, participating in such a war is not so easy, at least if you do not belong to one of the large companies on the server.
What exactly is the problem? In New World, there are only a limited number of areas that can be controlled by a company. Currently, there are only 11 territories that are highly coveted.
When a war begins, it allows all members of the faction to sign up to participate. However, the final battle for such a territory is only fought in a 50v50 format, so there are only 50 attackers from one faction and 50 defenders from the other faction.
Since the companies want to win the war, usually only certain players are taken: those you know and who join in a voice chat.
However, those who do not belong to such a chosen group often find themselves left out.
The wars for fortresses are the highlight of the endgame in New World.
So can you not participate in PvP at all? No, besides wars, there are further PvP contents that players can participate in, including:
Fights for forts in the open world
Duels against other players
The Outpost Rush mode, which essentially simulates a modified version of war and is designed for 40v40
However, despite these alternatives, the fights for territories are something special that many want to participate in. Yet, in the current version, not everyone will be able to do this.
The leaders of the company decide who will be taken
How exactly does the selection of players work? If a territory is to be attacked, the enemy faction must first gain enough influence in the area, such as by attacking forts in the area. Once they have enough influence, a war can be declared.
The defending faction could already set a timeframe beforehand during which they can be attacked, such as in the evening starting at 6:00 PM. If the war is declared for the following day at 6:00 PM, attackers and defenders can sign up for the battle.
There is no upper limit on registrations. However, 15 minutes before the start, the first 50 players on the list are summoned. The order of the list can be determined by the leader of the company. Even within the 15 minutes, players can still be invited or removed from the war.
The leader (with the yellow crown) and the admins (with the white crowns) determine who belongs to the 50 chosen ones and who remains “on standby”.
Why is this problematic? A company can theoretically control multiple territories. Those who are part of a large and successful company will then have a good chance of participating in a war. Because typically, their own members are preferred over any random players.
However, with a small company or as a solo player, it will be difficult to participate in the wars. The reddit user Idunaz even fears that this circumstance could lead to frustration and player loss for New World (via reddit).
Other versions of the war or weekly caps as proposed solutions
What could Amazon do about the problems? On reddit, some players have already gathered ideas on how to solve the problem.
The user Pat_the_catdad has two proposed solutions – additional instances of the war or global cooldowns:
I would find it cool if an abundance of participants would create additional instances of this war. Each instance could also be weighted differently in a point system. So if three or four instances of a war take place at once, the attackers could win even if the primary instance has been successfully defended. However, the other three instances would then have to be successfully attacked.
Another possibility would be that anyone who participates in a war receives a global cooldown, so they cannot immediately participate in another war (weekly cooldowns?). This would give hundreds of other players the opportunity to sign up for a war. This element would also create drama over which areas the no-lifers want to defend/attack and which areas the casual players have to fight for.
The user GeloGelo made a similar suggestion regarding the additional instances, where only the strongest instance should decide victory or defeat:
Depending on the gear level, there should be different war classes: low, medium, and endgame. While the low and medium wars will only provide player rewards, only the outcome of the endgame group should determine the winner. This way, everyone will have an experience in the war, and it will balance the war based on gear values.
What do you think about the situation with the wars? Have you been able to participate in one or are you still waiting to be taken along?
Currently, many players are still waiting for the free character transfer, with which they can switch servers and finally possibly play together with their guild. We have summarized all important information for you here:
The new MMORPG New World has its share of problems. One of the bigger issues lies within the community, as players sometimes heavily insult each other. Amazon is now responding with new rules.
What is the problem in New World? In New World, there are three factions fighting for the island of Aeternum. Players are forced to join one of the factions and fight for the Syndicate, the Marauders, or the Covenant.
This game mechanic alone creates a healthy foundation for conflicts between fans of the different factions. It’s easy to become frustrated when killed in the open world because you forgot to deactivate PvP. Or when your faction just lost an important area to another.
This leads to intense verbal conflicts in the chat and other forms of disrespectful behavior. Unlike many other MMORPGs, there are no chat restrictions between factions. Anyone can talk to anyone, and that has its downsides.
Amazon wants to crack down harder
How is Amazon responding? With the first major update after release on October 6, New World also introduced a new message that must be acknowledged before you can play.
These new rules can be summarized as “Don’t be a jerk” rules and deal with the interaction between players in New World. Additionally, Amazon threatens with temporary and even permanent bans if these rules are not followed.
The developers describe these as guidelines to create a safe, positive, and fun environment for everyone within the community.
The message appears before you can play.
The exact wording of these guidelines is divided into three categories and can be translated as follows:
Protect the community: We will not tolerate hate, insults, bullying, threats, hate speech, or abusive language. This also includes prejudices and condescending comments about race, gender, sexuality, nationality, ethnicity, religion, age, and disability.
Play fair: The use of cheats, hacks, bots, or any software that interferes with the game is not tolerated. Exploiting bugs that provide unfair advantages is also not allowed. Trading real money for in-game items is also forbidden under any circumstances.
Respect each other: Griefing, trolling, boosting, and wrongly reporting players, as well as cheating players in trading or pretending to be someone else reduce the experience for others.
Are the rules sensible?
Will this help? Time will tell. Since this message appears before you can even log in, every player has at least seen it briefly. However, whether these guidelines will change player behavior is questionable.
Ultimately, it is assumed that these basic rules of interaction should be known to everyone. People who have not followed these rules before will probably not do so now.
It remains to be seen how Amazon will enforce the threat of bans for violations of the guidelines. If insulting players are rigorously banned, this could indeed lead to a change in behavior, even if only out of fear of losing their accounts.
What do you think of the new rules? Do you find this box sensible or do you think it won’t help? Have you experienced unfair play yourself, or have you completely turned off the chat? Let us know in the comments.
The streamer TimTheTatman is known for his humorous deaths in various shooters. Now it’s Battlefield 2042 that takes its turn. There, he dies in an embarrassing way, so much so that even the official Twitter account trolls him about it.
What happened? In a stream of the beta for Battlefield 2042, TimTheTatman was just with his buddy in a fighter jet. Initially, he modified his weapon and got ready for the jump.
However, the jump went completely wrong for him. He failed to pull his parachute in time and slapped down onto the virtual asphalt like a wet sack. At first glance, a mistake anyone could make.
Who is he anyway? TimTheTatman was one of the biggest streamers on Twitch until his switch to YouTube. His career began with Fortnite, where he played alongside Ninja, among others.
But Tim, over 30 and a father, is more seen as a “nice streamer next door”, who is less performance-oriented and plays just for fun. He simply seems like a nice, “normal” guy who complains about his age and enjoys having fun while gaming.
Anyone who knows TimTheTatman already knows: He is always good for such slapstick moments and is known for embarrassing death moments in various games like CoD Warzone. Especially because of this trait and the way he can laugh at himself, he is very popular with his fans.
This was probably also known to the official Twitter account of Battlefield 2042. They grabbed Tim’s latest slapstick moment and tweeted the clip. It says: “Games change, but players remain the same.”
Battlefield 2042 trolls streamer, bringing more laughter
This is how the streamer reacts: His response to the tweet from the Battlefield account does not reveal what exactly the streamer thinks. He merely writes dryly: “Who runs this account?” (via Twitter). So it is unclear whether he is annoyed or finds it funny himself.
At least he is apparently surprised that the writer of the Battlefield Twitter account is familiar with these insider jokes.
What do the players say about it? They are having a great time with the reactions from the Twitter account and TimTheTatman. Additionally, there’s the almost traditional slapstick death of the streamer.
In response to Tim’s question, PnG KillorDie writes: “[The writer of the Battlefield account] looks like someone who knows their stuff”
James Potter writes: “Whoever this is, they deserve a raise.”
leviathanpriim comments: “Tim, I want you to know: You’re the rock of your squad…”
Eklipze responds: “Probably why he fell so hard.”
Withers4Real writes: “Same crap, different day, Timmy.”
There are still numerous other ideas about who might be behind it. Among others, the all-seeing eye of Sauron is named. Also, a child from Thailand is under suspicion.
With the numerous possibilities of dying in Battlefield 2042, this is unlikely to be the last slapstick death of the streamer.
How can you actually play Battlefield 2042 already? Currently, the early access phase of the open beta is running. Under certain conditions, players can already play earlier.
Starting tomorrow, October 8th, the beta will open its doors to all players. This way, you can also get an impression of the next installment of the big shooter series.
Valve has now shown how to disassemble the Steam Deck and explained what you can customize. Nevertheless, Valve also issues a clear warning to all users who want to do such things.
Why you shouldn’t do it: Valve has now extensively presented in a video how to take the Steam Deck apart and exchange various components. However, Valve warns against disassembling the console yourself.
On one hand, you could damage sensitive components like the battery. And damaged lithium-ion batteries can explode.
On the other hand, Valve explains that damage caused by you is not covered by the warranty and the guarantee. So if you really want to open the device, it is entirely your risk, as Valve makes clear again.
Valve shows the inside of the Steam Deck and explains how it works
Valve explains in its video that many components inside are specifically tailored to the Steam Deck. This means you need very specific parts that fit exactly there.
At the same time, Valve explained that it intends to offer spare parts like an SSD or thumbsticks in the future. Furthermore, it was stated in the video that additional components might be offered in the future as well.
In the video, the technician removes both the left thumbstick and the internal SSD. Also clearly visible during the presentation is the CPU with graphics chip (APU), whose heat pipes are connected to the cooling system.
All components are specifically manufactured for the Steam Deck; you cannot install “normal” hardware.
If you still want to install other hardware, you need to be aware, according to Valve, that you could damage the Steam Deck’s ecosystem.
Valve clearly explains here what you need to pay attention to when installing and removing components.
The approximately 6-minute long video from Valve can be watched on YouTube. We have embedded the video here for you again:

Valve receives a lot of praise for the detailed video
These are the reactions: Many users praise Valve for presenting this video. Because Valve clearly shows how to open the console and that you can also modify it – if you are aware of the risks. A user writes under the YouTube video:
A big shout out to Valve for actually making this video instead of claiming that it is impossible or trying to hide the information.
Another user also expresses a positive opinion, as Valve explains exactly where you need to be careful when disassembling the console.
Basically, [Valve] says: “You shouldn’t do it, but it’s yours and you can do it. Here are some of the traps and pitfalls to watch out for.” I think this is very repair-friendly. Since we know some problems may arise, we can look for specific SSDs and other components that fit and do not disturb.
What do you think of the video and the possibility to disassemble the Steam Deck? Are you excited that you can replace parts or does this play only a (minor) role for you?
Other manufacturers have also publicly demonstrated how to disassemble next-gen hardware. For example, Sony released an extensive video on how to take apart the PS5. Here, too, there was the recommendation not to try it yourself.

A change in XP gain in Fortnite is currently receiving a lot of praise and enthusiasm from the community of Fortnite. In Season 8, earning XP was quite difficult. This led to criticism of the game. With a major change to quest XP, Fortnite is reaching out to the players.
What was the problem?Season 8 in Chapter 2 designed the concept of XP gain so that players could consistently earn XP throughout the season. So, players had to play regularly to gradually climb their Battle Pass. However, for players who only played occasionally, earning XP was thus difficult.
In Patch 18.10, Epic Games already made some changes, but these were not well received. However, now, with an update from October 6th, the repeatable quests are well worth it for you.
This is how much XP quests give now
This has changed: On Twitter, the Fortnite Status account wrote on October 6th about the new quest changes. The rewards for both regular quests and legendary quests are changing.
Common: 2,500 XP
Previously, these only gave 500 XP
Green – Uncommon: 2,650 XP
Previously, there were 525 XP
Blue – Rare: 2,750 XP
Before the update, there were 550 XP
Purple – Epic: 2,900 XP
Previously, there were 575 XP
Orange – Legendary: 3,750 XP
For legendary quests, there were only 750 XP before the update
This is what you should keep in mind: These changes apply not only to shared quests that you share with your teammates but also to when you complete quests alone and receive them from NPCs. A question that arose in the community and has already been answered by players on reddit.
Community celebrates the changes
What do players say about it? The changes are being well received in the community. Players are happy that Epic Games took the problems of players to heart and now presents a solution.
“Big W[in], good change. Even if the general XP from chests, eliminations, etc. still needs a little buff,” writes BroMan2755 on reddit.
“Fortnite, keep this for every season and no one will ever complain again. If you want to grind, you can do that, and if not, you can still slowly reach level 100. This is perfect,” says MorraRocky on Twitter.
Some players now wish for rewards up to level 300, as reaching level 200 through the changes is now quite easy.
Have you now developed a taste for it and want to earn a lot of experience points in Fortnite? Then take a look at a guide on our site at MeinMMO that helps you with that. How to solve all stamp cards and tasks in Season 8 in Fortnite. Together with the increased quest XP, you should now level up quickly.

In Destiny 2 a certain Exotic has been causing trouble for quite some time. The popular Titan boots “Dunemarchers” suffer from a bug that is being exploited by many players. We show you how Bungie has now responded.
This Exotic is meant: The Dunemarchers are exotic Titan boots. They boost your sprint speed. While sprinting, you charge a shockwave that you can trigger with melee attacks.
This shockwave chains to surrounding enemies and ideally results in dead Guardian groups. Many players have noticed this, and thus they are finally demanding a fix, as it is long overdue.
The Exotic perk of the Exotic is broken and has been causing trouble in PvP for a long time
How severe is the bug? These boots are broken and have been for some time. Therefore, Guardians asked on Reddit why Bungie has not fixed the bug yet. To illustrate the extent of this bug, we embedded a video from YouTube:

These boots can cause damage to nearby enemies, which is acceptable, but the fact that someone can take out 3 Guardians with just one melee is not desired. It is important, however, that this bug cannot be triggered with every melee attack. You must hope as a Titan that the right jump works this time.
Bungie finally spoke up: On the Destiny Reddit, a post went viral, asking when the fix will finally be rolled out. Many Guardians have been struggling with it for a long time.
It is even better that the community manager dmg04 has finally commented on this:
Apparently, the team is working on some fixes for a future patch. […] As soon as we have more information, we will inform you.
dmg04 reported via Reddit
Continuously, he also addresses the question of why it took so long to fix this bug. dmg04 replied that this error does not occur as frequently as other bugs.
The error was known within the team, and dmg04 himself mentioned that he was occasionally killed by this bug, but it still does not happen often. Therefore, this error was not pursued for a certain period.
How do players react? Players are thrilled that someone from Bungie’s side finally speaks up. However, many want the boots to be freed from the bug rather than nerfed. As one user mentioned on Reddit:
Hopefully, they are just bug fixes for the Dunemarchers and not a nerf.
Players not only use this Exotic in PvP. They also find their place in PvE. With them, many ads can be sent to the virtual afterlife with just one melee. However, it is difficult for Bungie that they do not separate the nerfs for PvE and PvP. Therefore, it remains to be seen what changes these boots will undergo.
Have these boots terrorized you in the Crucible as well? Let us know what you think about a nerf or bug fix for this Exotic.

A major leak at Twitch revealed who received the most money directly from Twitch on the streaming platform in recent years. Only three women are among the top 100. Female streamers are often criticized for raking in so much money through their looks and sexually suggestive behavior.
The figures about streamer earnings are based on a leak. Twitch has now confirmed that there was a “data breach.” Whether the figures are accurate down to the cent is currently unknown.
This is the situation:
Yesterday, on October 6th, a major Twitch leak occurred: 125 GB of the most important and secret data from the streaming giant was made public. Among other things, it was leaked which 100 Twitch streamers received the most money from Twitch between August 2019 and October 2021.
Among the top 100 earners on Twitch, there are only 3 women. The statistics show only the money that comes directly from Twitch: primarily revenue from ads and subscriptions. Other earnings from streamers through exclusive contracts or sponsorship deals are not included in the statistics.
This is now sparking a debate. For a long time, parts of the community have accused women of undeservedly making a lot of money on Twitch through suggestive behavior. Female streamers have been accused of doing things like streaming from bathtubs in their living rooms or “ASMR” streams, where they moan into the microphone to rake in a lot of money.
Only 3 women among the top earners – surprisingly also a German-speaking one
Which women are among the top 100? Among the top 100 earners on Twitch since August 2019 are:
The streamer Pokimane in 39th place – a gaming streamer. The 25-year-old is known for streams in Valorant or Fortnite.
Amouranth in 48th place – The 27-year-old “cosplay streamer” is indeed someone who has done “bathtub in the living room” streams and is often criticized.
Sintica in 71st place – a German-speaking music streamer. She primarily plays music in her streams. With “only” 247,000 followers, she is significantly smaller than her colleagues but apparently has loyal fans who support her with subscriptions on Twitch.
The music streamer Sintica apparently has loyal fans on Twitch.
How do the 3 top earners react? Pokimane seems to be happy about the leak (via twitter). She says:
At least people can no longer exaggerate and claim that I earn millions a month from my viewers.
What comes from subs and ads is the “smallest part” of her income. Pokimane says: She wants her viewers to keep their money.
There is no public statement from Amouranth. She is currently licking a microphone on Twitch. However, it is known that Amouranth earns a major part of her income not through Twitch, but through the platform “Onlyfans”.
Sintica writes: The leak would change nothing. It has no impact on anything.

This is what others say: A streamer points out that this statistic shows that the excited debates about “titty streamers” making a lot of money from their looks have no real basis. She writes on twitter:
All this energy we spent whining that women are creating a “dangerous precedent” or like incels yelled “titty streamers” and then they aren’t even in the same league when it comes to payouts. Show me the black person on the list while you’re at it.
Vanessa Brassfield, Twitch streamer
Other users discuss with Pokimane whether it is appropriate for millionaires like her to even accept donations.
Women are underrepresented among the top earners – just like in all other statistics, such as those for the “biggest streamers” on the platform.
However, it should be noted that the figures published in the leak only reflect a part of the income and do not represent total earnings, but “male streamers” also earn additional money through exclusive deals and sponsorships.
Pokimane once answered a question many are asking about this topic:
The launch of Back 4 Blood has finally arrived. We will tell you when it starts and how you can dive in right away.
After a postponement of the release date, a very successful open beta, and long months of waiting, the day has finally come. Back 4 Blood is being released, and all those who have longed for zombie action can finally send a lot of undead to the afterlife.
But how can you start playing today? We will reveal what is necessary to jump right in.
What is Back 4 Blood? Back 4 Blood is a co-op zombie survival shooter for 4 players from Turtle Rock Studios. They are the creators of Evolve and the now legendary Left 4 Dead. The naming of Back 4 Blood is similar, and the gameplay also reminds players of the old zombie hit. 4 players fight their way through relatively short but challenging levels to get from one safe room to the next.
The “Cleaners” have plenty of weapons, talents in the form of cards, and character-specific bonuses at their disposal. But the zombies know how to defend themselves – special infected make the players’ lives and the usually short path to the next safe room a hell.
Back 4 Blood: The Early Access Start Date
When does Early Access begin? Already today, on 07.10.2021. When exactly the Early Access starts depends on the respective platform. The dates differ slightly depending on the platform.
PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows Store: Early Access starts on 07.10.2021 at 1:00 PM.
Steam and Epic Games Store: Early Access starts on 07.10.2021 at 5:00 PM.
How can you participate in Early Access? To be able to play at the above times, you must either purchase the Deluxe Edition (€90) or the Ultimate Edition (€100).
What advantages both versions offer, apart from early access, have been explained in this article:
Is there a pre-load? Yes, but probably only on consoles. Players on PlayStation and Xbox can already download the game for several days. PC players have not been able to download the game so far – so it is likely that this will only work with the start of Early Access.
So anyone with a slow internet connection who wants to play on PC will have to wait a long time.
More interesting news about Back 4 Blood can be found here:
When is the official release? If you don’t have time yet or don’t want to buy either of the two Deluxe versions, you will have to wait until October 12 – which is next Tuesday. Then Back 4 Blood launches worldwide at midnight (local time) and will also be available for Standard version players and Game Pass subscribers.
Will you check out Back 4 Blood right at launch? Are you waiting until the weekend? Or can you wait until the regular release?

The shooter Far Cry 6 celebrates its release today, October 7th. We at MeinMMO have looked at the reviews and ratings on Metacritic and summarize how the game is being received so far. There is criticism, especially regarding the story and difficulty levels.
This is what the ratings on Metacritic say:
The highest rating comes from the website “The Games Machine” with a score of 94
The lowest rating comes from Stevivor with a score of 45
Most ratings fall in the range between 70 and 80 points
This means that the shooter is rated similarly to its predecessor, Far Cry 5, which scored 78 points. The first title of the shooter series, however, was rated 89, part 2 with 85, and part 3 with 88 points.
On PS5, Far Cry 6 receives a rating of 75 from 42 critic reviews. On Xbox Series X, it receives a rating of 81 from 27 reviews.

What leads to the ratings and what do the critics say?
This is what the ratings on Metacritic say: We summarize a few of the ratings for you here.
The open world, the game’s presentation, the fundamental game mechanics with the switch between stealth and shooting, and tinkering with weapons are praised.
However, criticism is directed at the story, which is said to be very one-dimensional, the difficulty levels, many of which are too easy, and the fact that much in the game is artificially stretched. A lack of innovative new features and ideas is also repeatedly criticized.
“A game you will like without loving it” – MGG Spain
The test from Millenium.gg was written by editor GalleGutsito. He gives Far Cry 6 a score of 80 and lists positive and negative aspects. Criticism mainly centers on Ubisoft’s low willingness to take risks, the weak AI, and occasional bugs that have occurred:
Ubisoft wants to please everyone with a Far Cry 6 that screams for much riskier decisions. It fulfills most playable decisions with its own touch, but neither the story nor its great villain live up to what we expect from a major revolutionary adventure. A game you will like without loving it, and that destroys the special elements that could have made it the best Far Cry in history.

“Far Cry 6 is a fun open-world shooter with great weapon variety, but it gets bogged down in its own feature overload” – GameStar
Our German colleagues at GameStar give the game a score of 77/100. Each gets 4 stars for presentation, game design, and handling. The story and balance only receive 2 stars each.
Editor Elena Schulz summarizes her experience as follows:
The fundamental game mechanics and the game world function exceptionally well and entertain until one questions the purpose behind it. […] Far Cry 6 is a thoroughly toothless game that only gives me an illusion of gameplay freedom. In reality, I should not feel restricted. I can do everything, but what I do is completely irrelevant. The next task awaits regardless. Nothing has weight or consequences.
I find it laudable how accessible and versatile Ubisoft designs its open worlds, that there are modes for the colorblind, a story mode for beginners, and countless ways to engage or tackle missions. But what ultimately comes out of it is primarily shallow and extensive rather than a deep gaming experience. […].

“The lack of change in narrative and structure holds Far Cry 6 back” – PCGamesN
Jorden Forwads, Deputy Editor at PCGamesN, gives Far Cry 6 a score of 7/10. He criticizes mainly the lack of innovation in storytelling and gameplay.
The foundations of the series have been reworked to provide exciting and satisfying new gameplay. However, not all revisions have a positive effect. Unfortunately, it is the complete lack of change in narrative and structure that really holds Far Cry 6 back.

“No revolution in gameplay, but a successful guerrilla adventure” – PC Games
Editor Matthias Dammes has tried Far Cry 6 and gives the game an 8/10. Praise is given for the beautiful game world, where there is much to discover, as well as the gunplay. Criticism, however, is directed at the lack of innovation and an anticlimactic story.
Far Cry 6 has delivered impressively. The game pleases me in many aspects much more than its predecessors. The story and its characters are interesting. It doesn’t shamelessly delve into the box of madness this time. Especially antagonist Anton Castillo makes a much stronger impression on me than Joseph Seed, the twins, and Pagan Min combined. This may also be due to the excellent performance of Giancarlo Esposito. In terms of gameplay, I like that Ubisoft has made their usual open-world elements more subtle. All the stuff on the map is still there, but it is no longer presented with a sledgehammer.

What do you think of the new Far Cry 6? Have you already bought the game or have you waited for the reviews? Feel free to share in the comments.
We have summarized all information about Far Cry 6 for you in this overview:
In Pokémon GO, trainers have the opportunity to place their monsters in a gym and collect coins there. Now, one of these gyms has been turned back into a PokéStop, and a trainer is worried about his monster. We looked into what happened and are showing it to you.
What are gyms? Similar to PokéStops, gyms are places of interest that are meant to incentivize trainers to visit them in real life. These include, among others, monuments, murals, and interesting viewpoints.
Unlike PokéStops, you can also play raids there or take over the gym. This gives you the chance to collect up to 50 coins a day. To claim a gym for your team color, it must first be colored and then a monster must be placed inside. However, this has now become a disaster for one trainer.
That’s why a trainer is worried about his Pokémon
As the trainer scooterdood reports in his reddit post, he placed his Slaking in one of the local gyms. While it was defending it, however, it was removed by Niantic and turned into a PokéStop.
But now there is a big question: Where is Slaking? The Normal-type Pokémon has, according to its trainer, simply not returned. Now, scooterdood is worried about his friend and reminisces about their time together.

As can be read in his post, he remembers the thousands of days that Slaking defended a gym. Now he suspects that his monster will probably be gone forever due to the change from a gym to a PokéStop.
But how can this happen? That gyms or PokéStops can be removed from Pokémon GO again is related to the game’s guidelines. According to these, new PokéStops and gyms may only be created in certain locations, such as near monuments, and specific distances must be maintained.
This is usually checked in advance by several trainers through the Wayfarer page. However, local conditions can change over time, which is why this location may no longer meet the game’s requirements. Then these points can be deleted or changed.
Usually, the monsters that sat in such a gym return to their owners. This is also confirmed by lynnclewis, who reassures the post creator: “It comes back. We have had gyms taken away and the Pokémon have returned.” (via reddit.com).
This is how the community reacts
Many trainers support the post creator scooterdood in the comments and hope that his beloved Pokémon will return soon. They definitely recommend that he contact support.
However, some players suspect that this contact will not be very useful and that he will only receive a standard response or a poor compensation such as 20 free Pokéballs.
Is Team Rocket behind this? Other reddit users are surprised that a change from a gym to a PokéStop is even possible in the game. MegaBZ jokingly suspects: “It was never a gym. Team Rocket created a fake gym to steal your Slaking. Obviously, you were not prepared for trouble.” (via reddit.com).
The trainer MonteBurns clarifies the situation and writes: “The Verizon gyms were time-limited promotions. This means they can influence the number of stops in a cell via Wayfarer, and a gym can be removed this way.” (via reddit.com).
Scooterdood’s Slaking was also in such a gym. Thus, it could be an explanation of why it has now become a PokéStop. However, where Slaking is and whether it will return to its trainer is still unknown.
Have you ever defended a gym that was then deleted or transformed? And did you get your Pokémon back? Feel free to share your opinions and experiences in the comments here and discuss with other trainers on MeinMMO.
In the coming weeks, a lot is still happening in Pokémon GO. We will show you which events will take place in October and which of them are particularly worth it.
