Battlefield 2042 is currently playable in beta and players are testing the gameplay possibilities. Among them is the popular ‘Flying Bomb’ trick, where you attach explosives to a seemingly harmless reconnaissance drone and deliver a sudden death to unsuspecting enemies.
How does the trick work? The reddit user and Battlefield player chunkynoobdoge has impressively demonstrated in a post on reddit that the good old C4 trick also works in the beta of the new Battlefield. He got himself a reconnaissance drone and attached a few C5 charges (which is the name for the otherwise known C4 explosive in the new Battlefield).
Then he activated the remote control and went hunting with the drone.
Cheater sites expect big profits, but is it really that bad?
What was the outcome? In fact, soon after an unsuspecting opponent wandered through the foliage. No enemy was in sight, and the player (or possibly a bot) suspected nothing wrong.
But suddenly, a drone with whirring rotors flew out of the bushes, and still, the player did not react. Either he had not seen the small flying device or he didn’t care; after all, drones are unarmed.

But by then it was already too late. Chunkynoobdoge ended the remote control and immediately pressed the trigger on the C5 charges. The drone exploded along with the unfortunate victim in a massive fireball, of which chunkynoobdoge sadly missed because it took place far away. But the satisfying message about a kill certainly gave him a corresponding sense of achievement.
Where else was the trick often used? Anyone who enjoys playing shooters with modern warfare equipment is surely familiar with the trick involving exploding drones. This cheeky tactic has often been used in the competing game Call of Duty: Warzone. In a particularly spectacular case, several players teamed up to execute a cinematic drone attack with a drone equipped with C4.
So much for the cheeky and quite mean action with the armed drone. Such scenes are, however, somewhat normal for Battlefield games, where all sorts of crazy things can happen in large maps and epic battles. You can find out how the mood was on the first day of the Battlefield 2042 beta launch here: Battlefield 2042 is finally here: This is the mood on Day 1 of the beta.

As a killer in Dead by Daylight, even bad luck can lead to victory. He only wanted to reload his weapons – but the survivors prevent that.
In Dead by Daylight, it’s not always just hardcore action and suspense; sometimes it gets really absurd, and despite the dark theme, you just can’t help but laugh heartily. This also happened to the streamer Zearro. The match was far from over – but reloading made him win instantly.
What happened? The match for streamer Zearro was largely over. Two of the four survivors had already died, even though all generators had been repaired. The remaining survivors could have opened the gate and escaped.
However, Zearro only had 10 throwing knives left, which is why he decides to refresh his throwing knives at the next locker. As soon as he opens the door, he is surprised – because in the locker waits one of the two survivors, whom he can capture without a fight and hang up immediately.
Since finding the survivor did not refill the knives, Zearro then heads directly to the next locker to refresh the knives – only to be greeted once again by a survivor. Zearro stares in disbelief at the screen for a few seconds and then bursts out laughing in amusement.

Such luck is likely to be experienced by very few killers in Dead by Daylight.
Why does the killer need to reload? Most killers in Dead by Daylight do not need to reload. Only the two ranged killers “Huntress” and “Trickster” need to regularly go to lockers to refill their axes and throwing knives. This is actually a clear disadvantage for these killers, as refilling weapons costs valuable time during which the survivors can escape or hide.
Most survivors are also aware that it is particularly risky to hide in a locker against these killers for exactly this reason. Unlike other killers, Trickster and Huntress will eventually have to open lockers.
To happen to hit exactly the two lockers where the remaining survivors are hiding, just by sheer luck – that must occur very, very rarely.
More entertainment around Dead by Daylight can be found here:
Here’s how the community reacts: In the Dead by Daylight subreddit, the short clip is being celebrated quite a bit. The clip managed to gather more than 2,500 upvotes in less than a day and receives a lot of – sometimes very amusing – support.
For instance, BaeTier writes:
Wow, the Trickster is so bad, just look how easily the survivors can counter his ability.
Most players humorously point out that Trickster is considered a weaker killer and even “bad at reloading” if he can be countered so easily by blocking the lockers.
Have you ever had such a lucky moment as a killer, where you accidentally caught the survivors? Or is such luck something that always happens to others?

Call of Duty: Warzone kicks off the final joint season with Black Ops Cold War with a bang. Explosions in old bunkers beneath Verdansk have destroyed parts of the map, providing some variety. What else the new season has to offer, we will show you on MeinMMO.
Call of Duty: Warzone is entering the last live season before the release of the new CoD: Vanguard on November 5th. Season 6 is live and aims to impress you with extensive map adjustments on the large Verdansk map. Find out everything about the latest adjustments here:
We will go through the patch notes with you, show the extent of the destruction in Verdansk, and provide the most important information about downloading and additional content for the season. We will embed the roadmap for the new season here:
Warzone: Update 1.43 – Information on size, download & trailer
When does Season 6 start? The new season is live. Season 6 kicked off on Thursday morning at 6 AM.
What is the download size? This depends on your platform. PC players have to provide a bit more storage space this time:
Warzone: Update sizes Season 6
PlayStation 5: 30.6 GB
PlayStation 4: 30.6 GB
Xbox One Series X/S: 30.1 GB
Xbox One: 30.1 GB
PC: 39.3 GB / 40.5 GB (with CoD MW)
What about Cold War? The new season has also gone live for Cold War. A few new maps for multiplayer and a large, classic zombie map have been introduced. You can check out the English patch notes at developer Treyarch (via treyarch.com).
We will embed the trailer for the new Season 6 here:

What happened in Verdansk? The operator Adler detonated seismic bombs beneath Verdansk in a brainwashing frenzy, reducing parts of the city to rubble and ashes. A fissure opened up, exposing old bunkers that give you new looting opportunities.
However, the most visible changes are above the surface. From the large signal grid (array) to the hospital, the fissure runs through and almost swallowed everything that stood in its way:
The stadium is destroyed, many skyscrapers in downtown are no longer there, and the former face of the city is hardly recognizable. The large fissure is walkable in many parts, providing new cover opportunities throughout the region.
Alongside many new features, something familiar is also making a return: the Gulag resembles the very first version after the release of Warzone. In the last seasons, the respawn arena has constantly changed its layout and returns to its origins with Season 6:
New mode and Halloween event provide variety
What new mode is coming in Season 6? The new mode is “Scopes & Scatterguns” on Rebirth Island. The name of the mode is not new, but the developers are taking the concept to the next level and putting it on the small map Rebirth Island. This time, there are really only sniper rifles and shotguns:
Scopes & Scatterguns rules on Rebirth Island
Revival rules – If a team member survives, other members will be revived up to a certain point
Limited loot – The collectible weapons on the map are either sniper rifles, shotguns, or crossbows
No loadouts – You won’t get a free loadout and can’t buy your equipment
Shotgun at the start – Instead of the 1911, you will receive the small Marshal shotguns at the start of the match
The mode goes live on Thursday, October 14, and will stay in the playlist for 2 weeks.
What do we need to know about the Halloween event? “The Haunting” is expected to return sometime between October 18 and 21, bringing Halloween flair to Verdansk. However, the developers haven’t revealed how the event will look this year.
What has been confirmed already: there will once again be licensed skins from horror movies. “Ghostface” from the Scream series was already seen in the game due to a glitch, and Call of Duty even responded to the clip:
Warzone update nerfs 4 strong weapons and brings 2 new
What changes are being made to weapons? 4 weapons have been nerfed, which experts considered part of the meta. There are also some adjustments to attachments. Here are all changes from the patch notes:
Weapon adjustments Season 6
C58 – Nerf
Recoil increased
EM2 – Nerf
Recoil increased
MG82 – Nerf
Gunkick intensified
Recoil increased
Reload interruption time increased
Time to raise the weapon increased
Stoner – Nerf
Gunkick intensified
Recoil increased
How the changes will affect gameplay is yet to be seen. However, all 4 weapons were certainly part of the extended meta and known for good damage and manageable recoil.
Attachment adjustments Season 6
Tigerteam flashlight – Nerf
Movement speed multiplier reduced from 3.2% to 3.0%
ADS movement speed multiplier reduced from 3.2% to 3.0%
OTs 9: Spetsnaz 40 rounds – Nerf
ADS multiplier reduced from 0.85 to 0.835
Reload time increased from 2.6 to 2.7 seconds
Empty magazine reload time increased from 3.0 to 3.1 seconds
OTs 9: Fast VDV 40-round magazine – Nerf
ADS multiplier reduced from 0.8 to 0.78
Reload time increased from 1.93 to 2.11 seconds
Empty magazine reload time increased from 2.23 to 2.32 seconds
For more information on the meta weapons of Warzone and alternatives, check here:
What do the new weapons look like? As in every season, 2 new shooting weapons come into the game via the battle pass. This time, they are a shotgun and an assault rifle. We will show you the developers’ descriptions of the weapons:
.410 Ironhide: Shotgun – Level 15 Battle Pass
High damage at close range with a moderate rate of fire. Reliable 2-shot kills and short range even for one-shot kills.
Grav: Assault rifle – Level 31 Battle Pass
Rapid-fire assault rifle with high range and the highest bullet velocity among assault rifles.
How the weapons will be received by players and in the meta is still uncertain. However, a new assault rifle is usually welcomed, and if the .410 shotgun can indeed achieve one-shot kills against enemies with full armor, this weapon will certainly be a topic of conversation.
At the start of the season, you can also unlock a combat axe. Later in the season, a submachine gun (LAPA) and the melee weapons “Hammer & Sickle” will come into play.
If you’re looking for more information about the battle pass for Season 6, check here:
Further adjustments and playlists for the upcoming weeks
What else is there to know? We have already covered the major adjustments, but there were more changes in detail:
Preparation for the new clan system with Vanguard – regiments are now deactivated
The loot cards of weapons in the game now also show the fire mode
You can now customize the display of the kill feed
New adjustment options for mono sound in the settings
There were also a few bug fixes to eliminate known issues in the game. If you want a closer look at the bug fixes, check the English patch notes from Raven Software (via ravensoftware.com).
What does the playlist look like for the coming weeks? Even during Mid-Season 5, the Warzone makers provided a longer preview of the playlist for the first time and want to make that possible in the future as well. The patch notes contain the playlists for the next 4 weeks:
What comes next for Warzone after Season 6? Warzone kicks off the last season with Cold War and Verdansk. After the release of Vanguard and the merging of the new CoD with the battle royale, a new era for Warzone begins.
A large new map, the fresh engine, anti-cheat – Warzone will continue and could present itself in a whole new way.
In Call of Duty: Warzone starts with the release of the upcoming Season 6 in 2021, the final season in Verdansk. Here you will find all important information and links.
When is the release of Season 6? The new season of Call of Duty: Warzone is now live. Since 6 AM on Thursday, October 7th, you can experience the updates in the game.
It will be the last joint season of Warzone and Cold War before the battle royale “merges” with the new Vanguard. Vanguard releases on November 5th and the merger could take place at the end of November / beginning of December – including a new map and polished engine for Warzone.
Warzone: Season 6 – All Information on Update & Download
When is the release of Season 6? Season 6 is now live. The mid-season likely starts on November 2nd or 4th, one day before the launch of Vanguard.
How large is the download? This depends on your platform. PC players need to free up a bit more storage space this time:
Warzone: Update sizes Season 6
PlayStation 5: 30.6 GB
PlayStation 4: 30.6 GB
Xbox One Series X/S: 30.1 GB
Xbox One: 30.1 GB
PC: 39.3 GB / 40.5 GB (with CoD MW)
What about Cold War? Season 6 will be the last season shared by Warzone and Cold War. However, there will again be new maps, modes, and the shared Battle Pass with Warzone. The English patch notes for the Cold War update can be found here (via treyarch.com).
The roadmap for Season 6 of Warzone and Cold War is included here:
What happens to the map in Warzone – Season 6
What will change in Verdansk? Season 6 of 2021 will be the last in which you can experience Verdansk in its current form. The map adjustments are quite extensive. These are the biggest changes since the switch to Verdansk ’84 in April 2020.
Explosions create a path of destruction from the stadium through the entire “Downtown” area:
In addition to the map adjustments, a new/old Gulag is coming back. The showers from the early days of Warzone are returning, but the many duels in the basement have apparently taken their toll on the area.
Season 6 again with Battle Pass – Mason as Operator
What does the Battle Pass bring? There will be a Battle Pass with 100 tiers for 1,000 CoD Points again.
There is a free path in the Battle Pass that all players have access to. In exchange for points and playtime, you can unlock some items from the pass for free. If you already know that you will be playing more CoD in Season 6, then the premium pass is worth it. It offers more than 100 items to unlock throughout the season.
Overall, you can earn progress for the pass in three CoDs: CoD MW, Cold War, and Warzone share the Battle Pass. However, the contents are only available for Warzone and Cold War.
This is included in the Battle Pass: The Warzone & Cold War Battle Pass for Season 6 will contain 100 tiers. It costs 1,000 CoD Points (about 10 Euros). You will receive the new operator at launch. 2 new weapons to unlock are included – which ones they are has not been officially announced yet.
In addition, there are new blueprints for weapons. Furthermore, if you complete all tiers, you can earn 1,300 CoD Points. So, you’ll get more money back than you invested.
In addition, there are various goodies:
Legendary rewards upon completion of the pass
Many operator skins with missions for even more skins
Cosmetics like calling cards, emblems, sprays, and charms
Vehicle items like battle songs or skins
XP tokens for an experience points boost
10% experience boost on the Battle Pass
A complete overview of the specific contents of the Battle Pass can be found here. If you buy the “Battle Pass” bundle for 2,400 CoD Points, you will start directly with 20 tiers and receive a dark collection of panda skins for the operator Bulldozer:
The theme of Season 6 feels a bit like “Horror Circus”.
Who is the poster boy / poster girl of Season 6? The trailer features the legendary “Black Ops” operator Alexander Mason as the showcase operator for Season 6. If you purchase the Battle Pass, you will get the operator with the skin “Alaska” immediately.
This should also advance the story about brainwashing and reversed double agents. See the crazy red doors or the recently launched event with the numbers. Find out here if the Battle Pass is worth it for you:
Which weapons are coming specifically? A total of five new weapons are coming into play in Season 6, and 3 of them right at launch:
.410 Ironhide – Shotgun: At launch, Battle Pass Tier 15
Grav – Assault Rifle: At launch, Battle Pass Tier 31
LAPA – submachine gun: Coming with the event on October 19th
Combat Axe – Melee: At launch, available as a bundle or through a challenge
Sickle and Hammer – Melee: Coming later in Season 6
Halloween Event and Transition to Pacific Map in Season 6?
On October 19th, the Halloween event “The Haunting” starts in Cold War and Warzone. How exactly the event will unfold this year is not yet known. But there will most likely be another batch of creepy cosmetics that you can unlock in both games.
Leaks are also talking about a kind of reveal event in Warzone for the zombie mode of Vanguard. However, there is currently no further information regarding this.
What is already certain is: there will be licensed horror movie skins during the event. “Ghostface” from the Scream series is definitely coming, and “Donnie Drako” is part of the speculation regarding which skin could come next. Check here if you want to know how the event went last year.
At the end of the season, there might be an event that initiates the transition from Verdansk to the Pacific map. It is supposed to be called “To the Pacific”. In it, you should collect postcards from the Pacific in a kind of scavenger hunt. However, there is currently no official confirmation for a Pacific event.

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
With the Battle Pass, Call of Duty wants to reward you for playing for a long time during a season, and the new Season 6 also brings a pass. We’ll show you what content you can expect for Black Ops Cold War and Battle Royale Warzone and what the new weapons have to offer on MeinMMO.
What is the Battle Pass? Call of Duty offers you a large amount of cosmetics in every season that you can unlock through the so-called Battle Pass. In exchange for game time and 1,000 CoD-Points (about 10,- €), you have the chance to obtain over 100 items – from weapons, to skins, to XP tokens.
There is also a free path that gives you some of the items, even if you don’t want to spend the 1,000 CoD-Points. This includes, for example, the 2 new weapons. You can find out what Season 6 includes in the Battle Pass and what features the new weapons offer here.
2 new weapons as a gameplay highlight in the Battle Pass
What kind of weapons are these? With Season 6, there is a new shotgun and the 10th assault rifle from the Black Ops Cold War arsenal:
.410 Ironhide – Shotgun at level 15
Grav – Assault rifle at level 31
What can the .410 Ironhide do? The new shotgun reportedly takes out enemies in 2 shots according to the developers’ blog on Season 6 and can even be a one-shot kill at extremely short ranges. It remains to be seen how strong that will be in matches.
Solutions like the Marshal in Akimbo, the JAK-12, or the Gallo 12 are already very strong in their melee niche. Let’s see how the .410 can fit into this meta.
As a bonus, the .410 offers two unique grip attachments that can increase your fire rate or reload speed.
What can the Grav do? The assault rifle is likely to be significantly more interesting than the shotgun. Weapons in this popular class usually have the potential to shake up the meta. The Grav is expected to engage in the meta battle of assault rifles for medium and long ranges.
The new assault rifle comes with a similar fire rate as the Groza (about 750 shots/minute) and the highest bullet speed in its weapon class. Additionally, the Grav offers a ammunition conversion that deals more damage but also reduces the fire rate. The recoil of the rapid-fire version is pretty strong but very vertical:

Whether the fast-firing or slow-firing version of the weapon can prevail in Warzone will be revealed soon on MeinMMO. You can find out more about weapons in Warzone here:
What else does the Battle Pass bring? If you buy the Battle Pass for 1,000 CoD-Points, you immediately receive the legendary “Black Ops” operator Alex Mason with the “Alaska” skin right at the start. Overall, you can unlock more than 10 operator skins through the Battle Pass – including an ultra-reactive skin for Mason at level 100.
If you buy the “Battle Pass” bundle for 2,400 CoD-Points, you will receive 20 tier jumps and 3 dark panda skins for the operator “Bulldozer”:
Overall, some contents in Season 6 seem to reflect the current theme of “horror circus”. The Halloween month has begun, and you can see that in the Battle Pass as well. Throughout Season 6, a Halloween event will also take place.
You can also find 20 weapon blueprints scattered throughout the entire Battle Pass, which allow you to beautify your firearms according to your taste. In line with the horror circus theme, for example, there is a colorful skin for the MP5 from Cold War:
If you are a frequent player, you should definitely get the Battle Pass. Throughout the 100 tiers, you can earn a total of 1,300 CoD-Points and even earn 300 points.
This works retroactively as well. So if you’re not sure whether you’ll be playing much in CoD during Season 6, you can first play without the pass. At the latest by level 80, you can then buy the pass and get your investment back directly into your CoD-Points account.
If you want to see all the items in the Battle Pass, we will embed a short video here:
What else does Season 6 bring? For Cold War, the new Season 6 brings a large, classic Zombie map and a total of 3 new multiplayer maps. Zombie players, in particular, can look forward to experiencing the conclusion of the current Dark Aether story. Season 6 is also the final season of Cold War – the new CoD: Vanguard will be released on November 5.
Also in Warzone, there is a kind of conclusion. The large map Verdansk is entering its last season before the “merger” with the new Vanguard. The battle royale will then get a new map, the Vanguard engine, and with the transition, it will provide a whole new experience.
What can the classes in Diablo 2: Resurrected actually do and which is the best class? MeinMMO gives you an insight into the 7 playable characters and reveals who they might suit.
Update from October 7, 2022: We have equipped many classes with builds to provide you with direct examples of playstyles.
What classes are available? Diablo 2 offers a total of 7 classes with different focuses. Especially as a newcomer, you might quickly lose track here or not know what suits you best.
To give you an overview of all the classes and help you make a better decision, we list the 7 classes of Diablo 2 here and briefly outline what they can do:
Amazon: Warrior with spear, bow, and elemental magic – For damage and support
Assassin: Skilled in the use of traps and claws – For melee and control
Barbarian: Powerful fighters with large weapons – As melee or tank
Druid: “All-rounder” and nature-based spellcasters who can shapeshift and summon animals – For damage and support
Paladin: Holy warriors who strengthen their allies with auras – Ideal as off-tank and support
Necromancer: Creates servants from skeletons and curses enemies – Strong for damage and solo gameplay
Sorceress: Utilizes magical powers and various elements – For damage and control of multiple targets
The classes are bound to their respective genders, so you cannot choose freely. Through the table of contents, you can jump directly to the respective class, where we will look more closely at the advantages and disadvantages as well as the playstyle. We have also prepared a quiz that helps you choose your class.
[toc]
Amazon
Who is the Amazon suitable for? If you like playing hunters or rogues in MMORPGs, you should pick the Amazon in Diablo 2. She primarily fights with spears and bows at a distance and deals damage. The Amazon is also suitable for players who want an easy class to start with that can be learned quickly.
Pro
easy to play
virtually unbeatable at long distances
versatile against immunities due to various elements
Contra
vulnerable to being surrounded
rather “boring” playstyle due to simply enhanced attacks
How does the Amazon play? As a fierce warrior, the Amazon primarily relies on her weapons and enhances them with elemental magic. For example, you can improve your attacks with lightning damage or shoot charged bolts.
Later, you can even summon a Valkyrie that fights by your side and tanks for you. Together with your mercenary and the Valkyrie, you essentially form a group on your own. By the way, the Amazon has sparked much discussion in the community:
As an Amazon, you mainly focus on normal attacks, which you enhance with various skills. You primarily fight from a distance and find yourself rarely in melee.
In doing so, you are especially efficient against single targets. Larger groups of enemies can quickly become problematic for you.
Assassin
Who is the Assassin suitable for? Assassins in Diablo 2 are roughly equivalent to a mix of Monk and Demon Hunter from Diablo 3. If you enjoy playing these classes or generally rogue archetypes in MMORPGs, you should choose the Assassin.
Pro
high damage even with normal attacks
good defense even without a shield
various playstyles with martial arts skills, claws, or traps
with the right build, virtually immortal solo
Contra
rather difficult to play
traps require good coordination
How does the Assassin play? Traps are a unique mechanic of the Assassin. They can cause various effects like poison or ice. The Assassin can set these traps on the ground and then lure enemies into them. Additionally, the Assassin is adept in martial arts and claws.
Assassins rely heavily on agility and speed. With their traps, they can control enemies and even take out groups. Roughly, the Assassin is divided into three playstyles:
Traps (“Trapsin”)
Martial Arts
Claw weapons (“Vampire”)
In any case, you focus on attacking enemies in melee or luring them into your traps. With your abilities, you make yourself faster and maneuver enemies around.
By the way: MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus has played over 20 different Demon Hunters in Diablo 3 and has now fallen in love with the Assassin in Diablo 2. This is also due to the excellent controller controls that solve a major issue of the PC version.
Barbarian
Who is the Barbarian suitable for? If you like being the big tank in RPGs that enemies focus on or one that fights with large weapons, the Barbarian is your class – following the motto: Think less, hit more.
Pro
strong control effects
enormous pool of life points and good survival abilities
handles groups of enemies well
with battle cries and as a tank, the heart of a group
Contra
poor offense
pure “bash” character with less depth than the other classes
How does the Barbarian play? Barbarians use large weapons, and this is reflected in their class fantasy. You are effectively a mountain or a wall that enemies must pass before they reach your friends.
Accordingly, gameplay is rather simple. You primarily stand at the front and ensure that enemies are drawn to you. In the process, you continuously shout at your companions to buff them.
Apart from the shouts and skills like Whirlwind, you will mainly rely on normal weapon attacks.
Druid
Who is the Druid suitable for? If you can’t decide what you enjoy most in an RPG, play the Druid. This class is a true jack-of-all-trades and requires a lot of effort and skill to master well.
Pro
a true all-rounder who can take on any role
absolutely unique with his transformations
various focuses to summon animals or weather
good addition to any group
Contra
likely the hardest class in the game to master
requires strong specialization; can do a bit of everything, but nothing “right”
How does the Druid play? In Druid builds, you mainly encounter Werewolves or Werebears. These shape-shifting skills make Druids unique and turn them into strong melee fighters or even improvised tanks.
You can also use Druids as spellcasters, although they are less versatile than Sorceresses in this role. With fire and cold skills, you deal damage and control enemies. Alternatively, you can summon animals to fight by your side.
In groups, you can primarily fight larger numbers of enemies with area effects, which can be tanked for you.
Paladin
Who is the Paladin suitable for? If your heart burns to protect your friends without playing a bloodthirsty berserker, you should choose the Paladin. These holy warriors are fully committed to protecting and supporting the group.
Pro
relatively easy to learn
auras are strong buffs for the whole group
can tank well with shields, but also deals damage and supports
THE support for groups
Contra
loses much of its uniqueness in solo play
pure melee
How does the Paladin play? Auras make the Paladin special and can grant useful effects to the entire group, such as increased mana regeneration or improved resistance to elements.
Paladins are a kind of middle ground between spellcasters and melee fighters, as they primarily fight with magic. If you find Barbarians too boring but Sorceresses too soft, the Paladin fills the gap in between perfectly.
Since you primarily specialize in shields, you can even serve as a tank in emergencies when your group doesn’t have a Barbarian on hand. Either way, you are mainly there to support other players.
Even solo, the Paladin can shine. As a “Hammerdin,” you deal significant damage and buff both yourself and your mercenary. Thus, you can mow down even larger groups of enemies.
Necromancer
Who is the Necromancer suitable for? If you enjoy pet builds or simply love to see your enemies suffer, play a Necromancer. In other RPGs, the class roughly corresponds to Warlocks, whereas Necromancers are already a well-known archetype.
Pro
various spells for summoning or direct attack
curses are an effective means against many stronger enemies
makes even tough fights easier for the entire group
Contra
difficult to master
can feel weak alone, needs a group
How does the Necromancer play? The unique feature of the Necromancer is that he uses corpses of defeated enemies to build his own army. You can overwhelm enemies with a true horde of skeletons.
Alternatively, you empower yourself with unholy powers and throw bone spears at foes or make corpses explode. Poison is also a popular means for Necromancers to harm enemies. You primarily fight at a distance, although you could go into melee as a “Daggermancer.”
A notable aspect of the Necromancer is also the curses. You can weaken the resistances of enemies or greatly slow their movement. This makes you stronger in solo play and particularly popular in groups.
Sorceress
Who is the Sorceress suitable for? If you like playing mages and fighting with strong spells from a distance, the Sorceress is your class. She packs quite a punch and is ideal for anyone who loves to see enemies explode – or freeze them outright.
Pro
deals tremendous damage
can choose various focuses, such as area damage or control
extremely mobile, perfect “scout” in a team
a must for any ambitious group
Contra
entry takes longer than with other classes
initially weak, becomes truly powerful later
can’t take much damage
How does the Sorceress play? Sorceresses primarily rely on elemental damage with fire, ice, and lightning. Accordingly, you typically choose one of these specializations and utilize various abilities of the respective element.
Particularly popular are Blizzard and Lightning Sorceresses, which we introduce to you here in the best builds of the Sorceress in Diablo 2:
Due to their versatility, Sorceresses can deal a lot of damage alone as well as ensure group control. Particularly ice spells are efficient in slowing down enemies and supporting your own group.
With Teleport and Telekinesis, you can quickly navigate through the maps, explore them faster than any other class, and even interact with objects from a distance.
General Tips for Diablo 2: Resurrected
In general, there is no “best class” in Diablo 2, only the best class for your playstyle. The Sorceress can deal so much damage – if you prefer melee, then the Assassin would be better for you.
However, the right preparation is essential in any case. With our guides, you can generally prepare for Diablo 2 – they are ideal for preparation or as a reference and practical compendium at any time:
In February 2022, the new Guild Wars 2 expansion End of Dragons will be released. While in the last few weeks mainly the elite specialization of the expansion was presented, there is now a trailer for the island of Shing Jea. This evokes nostalgic feelings for many fans of Guild Wars 1 and is also well received by the players.
What can be seen in the trailer? The nearly one-minute trailer shows an idyllic and beautiful Asian landscape. There are cherry blossom trees, a serene lake, and people fishing and sailing in their boats. Both of these are content that will come into the game with “End of Dragons“.
Additionally, there are large meadows, mountains, ravines with suspension bridges, and a monastery where monks train their combat skills. Especially the very vibrant colors stand out in the trailer.
The images shown are accompanied by texts referring to the area as “Harbor of Tranquility and Peace” off the mainland of Cantha.
Anyone who has already visited Shing Jea in Guild Wars Factions will immediately recognize many of these places.

A lot of praise for the visuals and the atmosphere
How are players reacting to the trailer? Nearly 2 hours after the release, the English trailer has over 32,000 views. The viewers gave the video 2,300 thumbs up and only 48 down. The ratings are therefore very positive.
Users are overwhelmed with compliments below the video. The visuals and the atmosphere of the area are particularly praised:
Steven M is totally thrilled with the trailer: “Wow, it looks so amazing and beautiful! What a great surprise this trailer is!”
Queen Lemur can’t wait to enter the area: “Beautiful, the aesthetics are simply stunning! I can hardly wait to hang out here and fish peacefully to the music.”
Seishuu12 feels right at home: “I feel so nostalgic, I set foot on the island of Shing Jea for the first time in 2006, and it feels like I’m coming home. I love you, guys!”
What do critics say? While the trailer is generally well received, there are two things that bother players a bit:
On the one hand, there is criticism that Shing Jea has become too colorful. Some players of Guild Wars 1 wished for less of the colors and the “typical Asian look”.
On the other hand, some are surprised about the Tengu, who apparently call Shing Jea home. Because according to the lore, only humans should live in Cantha.
The latter can be explained by the fact that we are on an island off the mainland, and different rules were in place here even in GW1. It will be exciting to see how ArenaNet constructs the mainland.
What do you think about the island of Shing Jea and the trailer? Do you find the area just as beautiful, or are you bothered by the many colors? Feel free to write it in the comments.

In New World, the battle between the 3 factions plays an important role. Individual guilds can conquer settlements and defend them against attackers. However, one guild went wrong. A great drama then ensued.
On the server Heracleion, a great drama occurred within the faction “The Syndicate”:
The guild leader of a company allegedly led his guild to a defeat in war and then stole from them.
The action is said to have cost the company 60,000 gold. Additionally, they are now without a leader.
But the entire Syndicate has also suffered due to the action. The faction is clearly outmatched on the server, and the gold that was stolen went directly to their rival, the Marauders.
“He robbed us of all the fun in the game in 2 hours.”
What exactly happened on Heracleion? A company from the Syndicate faction lost a battle for their previously purchased settlement. According to reddit user Paradoggs, this was mainly due to poor organization within the company.
Afterward, the company tried to purchase the last free settlement in Reekwater, but it failed due to the donated money.
The guild leader then became angry and called on all players to put money into the guild bank. 60,000 gold was gathered from 200 players. But then he betrayed his fellow players.
He stole the gold from the bank and used a friend to take the gold to the enemy faction of the Marauders. He then deleted his character and started anew on the side of the Marauders, who were already dominating the server.
Can he do this without punishment? It will now be seen. The player has allegedly been reported by several company members. Paradoggs emphasized that the guild leader robbed everyone in the guild of fun in just 2 hours.
Today marked the start of the Early Access phase of the beta for Battlefield 2042. MeinMMO summarizes how the release day went and what the first players are saying.
As a result, numerous players were unable to log in at times, or even not at all. Nevertheless, many players were able to play some rounds on the Orbital map and shared various reactions.
We provide an overview of the first voices and how the beta is perceived at launch by some players. So far, the feedback is quite mixed.
Numerous problems, but also positive voices about the beta
Where do the reactions come from? We are collecting numerous comments from the official subreddit, evaluated from well-known Twitter channels related to Battlefield.
Overall, the feedback offers both good and bad insights. Since this is the first day of the beta, it is still too early to draw a conclusion.
How the beta is being received so far: It is difficult to divide the beta feedback into positive and negative. While some players praise the graphics and performance, others have massive issues with stability and numerous graphical glitches.
The differences are clearly evident through discussions on Twitter. RG3T Company writes: “The game looks great on PS5 and runs smoothly for me.” (via Twitter)
Reckless-WOLF strongly counters: “The game doesn’t run well at all on PS5.” The problems seem to affect not only PS5 players but also individuals on PC and Xbox consoles. No platform seems to be running smoothly.
It seems that hardware is not a decisive factor. From the reactions, it is clear that even high-end PCs are struggling with performance issues and FPS drops.
EA attributes this to the beta build (via reddit), which is supposedly several months old. Accordingly, many problems that occur should be fixed by the release. However, this does not change the fact that numerous players are struggling with bugs and gameplay errors.
Even industry insider Tom Henderson is experiencing issues in the beta.
Nonetheless, there are also numerous positive voices enjoying the beta. Fun_Acanthisitta1313 writes: “Yes, the game is not perfect. […], but overall I’ve had a hell of a lot of fun […].” Although he also sees that the game is not in a good state, he emphasizes the positives. (via reddit)
ol7s sums it up well: “This is the best, bug-ridden chaos I have ever played. I think it will be good.” (via reddit)
Many players share this sentiment and praise elements like the tornado that can appear as a random event during a match. Apart from the technical issues, many testers are having fun with the shooter.
A post is making the rounds on reddit where a player even managed to launch themselves into the air with the huge rocket:

Gameplay is generally fun, but the technical condition is not
The beta of Battlefield 2042 has already caused some controversies at launch. While numerous players criticize the technical state, others defend the game, arguing with the beta state, noting that this is something we have experienced from previous Battlefield installments.
Ultimately, it’s also a question of expectations. If you expect a smooth beta without technical difficulties, you might want to sit this one out.
But if you still feel like it and enjoy the Battlefield principle, you might want to give it a try anyway. Otherwise, you can also check our checklist.
If you do not have Early Access, you can check the beta starting October 8th. From 9 AM, all players can then participate.
The beta is running on all platforms and will end on October 10 at 9 AM. Battlefield 2042 is set to be released on November 19 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4, and PS5.
What do you think of the beta so far? Have you been able to play yourself, and have you also encountered technical problems? Share your impressions with us.
In FIFA 22 the TOTW 3 is now available. Which players made it into the Team of the Week this time, you will find out here.
When does the TOTW 3 come out? The new Team of the Week will be available in Ultimate Team starting from October 6th at 7:00 PM. It will be included in packs and will replace the regular gold cards of the selected players.
What is the TOTW? The TOTW stands for “Team of the Week” and consists of various players who have secured one of the special cards due to strong performances in real football. These are so-called “Inform” cards that reflect these performances in the game.
How do I get TOTW cards? You can draw TOTW cards from packs, but you need a lot of luck. Alternatively, the Inform cards can be obtained on the transfer market, but they can be quite expensive there. How to get the necessary coins, our trading tips show.
Now let’s take a look at the new TOTW 3.
The TOTW 3 in FIFA 22 – All Inform Players
This is the TOTW 3: The new TOTW contains some interesting cards. The jackpot is likely the new Inform card for Tottenham’s Son, who has secured a 90 upgrade and shines with great offensive stats. However, Luis Suarez (89) and Phil Foden (86) also score with high ratings.
The featured player this week is David from Ligue 1. He receives an upgrade to 84 and can also score with good values in speed, dribbling, and shot. Locatelli also gets an OTW upgrade with the Inform card, the same applies to Anderson Talisca.
These Bundesliga players are included: A total of three Bundesliga players made it into the current TOTW 3. At least for Bundesliga starter squads they could be worthwhile.
Frankfurt’s Kevin Trapp is included with an 84-rated card. He should do well in goal – regardless of whether the new update in FIFA 22 focuses on goalkeepers.
Freiburg’s Lienhart is represented in the TOTW with an 81-rated card. He scores mainly with defense and physicality, while there is still potential for improvement in the other stats. His teammate Christian Günter is currently nominated for POTM.
Gladbach’s Breel Embolo (81) completes the trio. The forward has good speed stats and can score solid numbers in the other offensive stats as well. A plus is his 86 physicality. Possibly an interesting card if you are looking for a new Bundesliga forward.
Are you satisfied with the TOTW, or should other players be represented in the Team of the Week from your perspective? Let us know in the comments!

A hack occurred on the streaming platform Twitch, during which valuable data was reportedly leaked. Twitch has since confirmed the hack in a statement. However, that very statement has now led to mockery and ridicule, spearheaded by the Minecraft YouTuber Dream.
What kind of leak is this? A hacker published a data collection of 125 gigabytes. The following data is among those leaked:
Information about a competitor to the Steam platform
Is the leak real? Apparently, at least Twitch itself confirms that an attack occurred. Otherwise, the official statement from the platform is rather vague and only reveals that they are researching the cause:
We can confirm that a breach has occurred. Our teams are working diligently to understand the extent of the incident. We will keep the community informed as more information becomes available. We thank you for your understanding.
Apart from this statement, there have been no further details from Twitch or Amazon, which bought the streaming platform a few years ago.
We can confirm that GeorgeNotFound has a fat butt. Our teams are working diligently to understand the extent of the incident. We will keep the community informed as more information becomes available. We thank you for your understanding.
While the original tweet from Twitch received about 47,000 likes, Dream’s response got over 64,000. Many people are making fun of the fact that Twitch essentially shared nothing in the statement and that you just need to swap out a few words to apply it to any situation in the world.

Other Twitter users are also commenting with ironic responses like “Oh really? We didn’t notice that at all” (via Twitter) or “Congratulations on switching to open source” (via Twitter).
Who is GeorgeNotFound anyway? The streamer is primarily known among Minecraft fans, similar to Dream. On YouTube, his videos average several million views. On Twitch, GeorgeNotFound is less active but streams on his main channel to over 100,000 concurrent viewers. It’s common for them to joke around at each other’s expense.
What happens next with the leak? It’s currently just 9:00 AM on the American West Coast, where Twitch is headquartered. It’s quite possible that there will be more information from Twitch regarding the leak in the coming hours.

Finally, there is good news for all Gambit fans. Destiny 2 has announced an overhaul for the unique PvP and PvE hybrid mode in Season 16 and has also considered the players’ most anticipated wish.
This is what makes Gambit so special: The Gambit game mode is, along with the Vanguard Strikes (PvE) and the Crucible (PvP), the third playlist activity that players in Destiny 2 can start. What is special is that Gambit represents a hybrid activity that combines PvP and PvE.
This is how Gambit is played:
Two teams collect Darkness particles separately.
The particles are dropped by defeated PvE enemies.
Players can collect a maximum of 15 particles to then deposit them at the bank.
5, 10, or 15 particles summon Taken on the opponent’s side, which block the bank.
Both teams can regularly receive visits from an enemy Invader.
The Invader phase is meant to keep players from collecting.
Sometimes it can also happen that an Invader, with a bit of luck and the right weapon, takes out the entire enemy team:
In recent seasons, fewer and fewer players have been playing the Gambit playlist for several reasons.
There is a lack of top weapons: There is simply nothing in Gambit that can entice players anymore. Numerous good rewards, such as legendary ritual or pinnacle weapons, are scarce. Gambit hasn’t had the most attractive loot pool in recent seasons.
Players can obtain these weapons through the Gambit playlist:
“The Supreme Servitor,” scout rifle (kinetic + current season drop)
Last Dollar, hand cannon (Void)
Trinary System, fusion rifle (Solar)
Borrowed Time, submachine gun (Solar)
Fan Favorite, grenade launcher (Void)
Players miss the highly coveted loot carrots from the past, such as the machine gun “21% Delirium” or the shotgun “Python”. All weapons from the Drifter that were always at the top of the loadouts.
21% Delirium – a forgotten top-tier machine gun
The mode currently offers little variety: When players start the playlist, they only play on a handful of maps, and these often repeat directly after each other. Furthermore, there are locations that no longer exist in the Destiny universe, such as Titan or Mars. This quickly becomes boring, so it’s no surprise that player counts in Gambit are now getting worse and worse.
The Destiny 2 player PopAd writes via reddit: “Can we please get the Gambit maps back from the content vault?” and speaks to the soul of many players.
For starters, the return of a few of the old maps, such as the Gambit arena in the Dreaming City, would already be a welcome change.
Bungie has also noticed that players are not yet ready to give up Gambit, as the mode is actually an enrichment for Destiny 2.
You can find the best tips for Gambit in Destiny 2 here:
Bungie wants to address player wishes in Season 16
Joe Blackburn, the Game Director of Destiny 2, addressed via Twitter the changes for PvP as well as the issues with Gambit. He even created a separate thread where suggestions from the entire community were discussed to improve this unique game mode together.

These are the changes Bungie has announced for Season 16: Besides changes to heavy ammo, Bungie is also planning nerfs for Invaders as well as changes to the Ancient battles.
But the best news is that Joe Blackburn mentioned the possibility of new Gambit maps in Season 16. Bungie is working on it. For every Gambit fan and those who want to become one, this is great news.
Let us know your thoughts on Gambit. Do you start the Gambit playlist every week or has it become too boring for you? What is actually your favorite location that you want to have back for Gambit? Would you like more weapons for Gambit that are worth farming?

Even after the launch of New World, there are still rumors that the MMORPG is supposed to destroy graphics cards like the RTX 3090. Now there is an official statement from Amazon regarding this.
Even after the launch of New World, there are reports about broken graphics cards in connection with New World. This unsettled some users and raised questions about whether one can even play New World with a clear conscience at the moment.
Now Amazon itself has commented on the issues and explained how the situation looks with New World.
Amazon has investigated the problems: No danger to your hardware from New World
This is what Amazon has now said: Amazon has now addressed the issues with broken graphics cards that some players are currently reporting.
Amazon explained to us in a statement that New World has been extensively investigated and that the game does not cause any problems. Players experiencing hardware issues are advised to contact the manufacturer of the graphics card directly:
In the last few days, we received few reports from players who had problems with their GeForce RTX cards. After a thorough investigation, we found no unusual behavior from New World that could be the cause of these problems. EVGA already confirmed faults in the production of some GeForce RTX cards. New World can be played safely. We recommend players who experienced a hardware failure to contact the manufacturer.
So you can play New World without problems and do not have to fear that you will damage your hardware. According to Amazon, the broken graphics cards are due to manufacturing defects.
It gets complicated here only if you bought your graphics card from a scalper, for example on eBay for a lot of money, because there is no warranty here. However, the manufacturer warranty is automatically transferred when the product is sold from one person to another. For this, however, you need the warranty card, which should be included with the graphics card (via kanzlei-franz.com).
A manufacturing defect caused broken graphics cards in the beta
What were the problems? During the New World beta, there were already problems with broken graphics cards. Here, however, manufacturer EVGA commented and pointed to a manufacturing defect in the RTX-3090 graphics cards. Subsequently, EVGA also explained what happens with the broken graphics cards:
New World was not to blame for the mentioned problem. Amazon Games subsequently implemented an FPS limiter in the main menu. This limiter is meant to prevent graphics cards from being under full load already in the main menu.
If you still encounter problems with high temperatures or other occurrences, we have here our optimal graphics settings for New World for you. Here we recommend using an FPS limit.

New World is getting its first major patch today. This update resulted in maintenance work and corresponding server downtime. This maintenance was scheduled for 4 hours but was extended due to technical issues.
How long will the maintenance last? Originally, the maintenance was scheduled for 4 hours and was supposed to run from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM German time. However, the maintenance was extended by one hour shortly after it began.
Recently, community manager Tosch commented in the official forum, explaining that there are technical difficulties. The maintenance will therefore be extended by another 2 hours.
Unfortunately, we are experiencing some technical difficulties and need to extend the maintenance by two hours. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and support. We will update the post as soon as there are further announcements.
The servers are therefore expected to return no earlier than 7:00 PM. Since the maintenance affects all servers worldwide, you currently have no chance to play New World.
If there is another extension, we will inform you here on MeinMMO.
What should I do until the server is back online? If you want to pass the time until the maintenance is over, we have put together some tips for you here:
On NewWorld-Builder.com, you can create your own builds and gather new information about different weapons. Each skill tree is available there in German.
Join our MeinMMO Discord and discuss with us about New World or present your company there. This way, we as a community can engage in better conversation.
Check out videos about current content of New World on YouTube.

The streaming legend Nicholas “Nickmercs” Kolcheff remains on Twitch: The 30-year-old announced this with an epic video showcasing him as a Roman legionnaire with the Twitch Gladius.
What happened? Nickmercs’ break is over, and recently the US streamer addressed his fans on Twitter. In a tweet, he spoke about a “big announcement,” which only fueled rumors about his return (via twitter.com).
Fans thought this might be the announcement that Nickmercs could also switch to YouTube Gaming. After all, he would be not the first streamer to switch to YouTube. He dramatically shows his decision for Twitch and against YouTube in a video depicting him as a Roman legionnaire.
Nickmercs signs new contract with Twitch – “My place is here”
What sums of money were involved and what demands had to be met for Nickmercs to stay on Twitch is unclear. A switch to the competitor YouTube Gaming seems to not have been an option for the US streamer.
At least that’s what his video suggests, which he posted regarding his return. Here you can see Nickmercs as a Roman legionnaire turning away from the YouTube Creator award and reaching for the Twitch sword. The decision behind this clip is clear: Nickmercs remains on Twitch.
Details about Nickmercs’ new Twitch contract are not known. However, for the livestreaming platform, the signing of this contract should be a reason for joy. For some time now, more and more Twitch streamers have been migrating to other platforms. After the closure of Microsoft’s Mixer platform, some returned while others went to YouTube.
With 6.2 million followers, Nickmercs is a huge asset for Twitch after big names like TimTheTatman and Dr.Disrespect have already left.
The streamer is one of the biggest in the world and is also a well-known figure in the gaming community. Earlier this year, he became a co-owner of the famous FaZe Clan and even appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Nickmercs is also known for his barbecue in Tampa Bay Stadium, to which he had invited 6,000 people (via youtube.com).
Among the games the streamer plays on Twitch are Fortnite, Apex Legends, but most notably Call of Duty: Warzone. On average, around 60,000 fans watch him. It will be interesting to see how his viewer numbers behave after the short break.

The release of Windows 11 was only a day ago, but already the first users are complaining about poor performance. Microsoft has not officially confirmed the issues yet.
The current discussion revolves around a technology that was previously available as an option in Windows 10 and has now been introduced as an important feature in Windows 11.
Specifically, it concerns VBS, a virtualization technology. However, this function is now causing trouble among gamers. MeinMMO explains what VBS actually is and whether you are affected by it.
New security may worsen gaming performance
What technology is involved? The issue apparently lies with Virtualization-Based Security, or VBS for short. This function utilizes hardware virtualization to create a secure area in memory. This secure memory can then be utilized by other security features like Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) and Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity (HVCI). Think of it like a virtual machine where certain things can be executed.
How significantly does this affect performance? The online magazine Tomshardware conducted initial benchmarks with Windows 11 (via tomshardware.com). The initial tests show that performance is at least somewhat impacted:
With an Intel processor of the 11th generation, the performance loss is between 5 and 7%.
With an AMD processor, the loss is between 4 and 8%, depending on the game.
Tomshardware explains that while the problems are not severe, a performance loss of nearly 10% is still noticeable. Many users likely wouldn’t see a reason to sacrifice a tenth of their performance for new security measures.
Online magazine PCGamer (via pcgamer.com) notes even more clearly. Here, editor Dave James speaks of a performance loss of up to 28%.
Both Tomshardware and PCGamer point out that the extent of the losses really depends on the game.
Will Windows 11 change gaming forever? Special by GameStar on Windows 11
Pre-built PCs may be affected, those upgrading themselves likely not
Am I affected by the problems? It really depends on whether you install Windows 11 independently or use a pre-built computer. According to some testers and benchmarks, it varies based on both the installation and the hardware:
For custom systems that you are upgrading to Windows 11, the new security settings are not activated, and you need to do this manually. You must check the box consciously.
For pre-built systems (or OEM), however, Microsoft recommends activating these features. This depends on how manufacturers distribute their updates with Microsoft.
Is there a statement from Microsoft? Microsoft clearly stated that VBS does not have to be used during the upgrade to Windows 11 and all features are optional (via blogs.microsoft.com):
While we do not require VBS during an upgrade to Windows 11, we believe that the security benefits it provides are so important that we wanted to ensure through the minimum system requirements that every PC running Windows 11 offers the same security relied upon by the Department of Defense.
Microsoft also explained that this feature is intended as an offering for businesses. This allows companies to lock down their computers with the technology to prevent them from being compromised by malware. Microsoft has not provided recommendations for pure gaming machines so far.
Microsoft also states: “In collaboration with our OEM and partners, we will activate VBS and HVCI on most new PCs over the next year.” Therefore, if you buy a new PC with Windows 11, the security features may already be activated.
What do you think of Windows 11? Do you like the new operating system? If you are still unsure whether to upgrade, you can find all the important points regarding Windows 11 in our checklist:
On November 1, 2021, the new Update 32 Deadlands of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online will be released. This update introduces 6 new equipment sets to the game. We at MeinMMO take a look at what these sets can do and whether it is worth collecting or crafting them.
With the new update, you unlock the areas of Fargrave and the Deadlands. As the names suggest, these places are far away from Tamriel. Similar to the Clockwork City, Coldharbour, or Artaeum.
What new sets can you expect in Deadlands? In total, 6 new equipment sets will come into play. There are 3 craftable sets for each type of equipment and another 3 sets that you can find and collect in the open world.
The New Craftable Sets in ESO Deadlands
You will find two of the crafting stations in the Deadlands. In the southern part of the Deadlands and east of the Wayshrine of the Raging Coast, you will find a place called “Blade Works.” There you will find the crafting stations for the “Deadlands Demolisher” set.
To the east of the Deadlands and southeast of the Wayshrine of the False Martyr’s Madness, you will find the place “Stormweaver’s Hollow.” Here you will find the crafting stations for the set ‘Misery Vitality’.
The crafting station for the set “Iron Flask” can be found at the Forgotten Relic Shrine in the Ruins of Fargrave. You can get there from the Wayshrine of the Ruins by following the dotted path on the map that leads west along the Forgotten Relic Shrine.
These are the 3 new craftable sets from ESO Deadlands.
Let’s take a closer look at the sets:
Deadlands Demolisher: This set gives you 2 Max Stamina bonuses and a bonus for Magicka & Weapon Power. The last effect boosts your Heavy Attacks and adds a conical AOE that interrupts enemies.
Heavy Attacks were heavily nerfed a few patches ago. Presumably, this set will not make Heavy Attacks as powerful as they once were. Nevertheless, the interrupt can be a useful effect in duels. Perhaps it could be combined with the Maarselok monster set for synergy.
Misery Vitality: This set gives you 1 bonus to Stamina regeneration, 1 bonus to Magicka regeneration, and another bonus to Magicka & Weapon Power. The last effect increases your Stamina & Magicka regeneration when you apply a minor / major buff or debuff to a target.
This set could be useful in PvP areas or for duels, as every bonus aims to restore resources. A duel can be long, and sometimes the state of your resources determines the outcome.
Iron Flask: This set gives you 2 Max Health bonuses and a bonus to Armor. The last effect reduces the damage you take for 20 seconds once you consume a potion in combat.
This set increases your survivability. It is questionable whether the damage reduction is a one-time effect or reactivates with each hit. If it is a one-time reduction, the set appears rather weak. If the other scenario occurs, it could be very strong depending on the situation.
Open World Sets of ESO Deadlands
These are the 3 new open world sets from ESO Deadlands.
Let’s take a closer look at the sets now:
Clawhawk (light): This set gives you 1 Max Magicka bonus, 1 bonus to Magicka & Weapon Power, and 1 bonus to your critical hits (Crit. Chance). The last effect grants you 7 ultimate power every 5 seconds.
This set ultimately allows you to use your ultimate ability more frequently and has some offensive stats as well. With the hard cap for critical damage likely to overhaul some group support sets in the next update, this set could become interesting for off-tanks or off-healers.
Hexos’ Shield (medium): This set gives 2 bonuses to your critical hits and a bonus to Magicka & Weapon Power. The last effect grants you a damage shield of 11,124 damage every 6 seconds when you deal direct damage.
This set focuses on a player’s survivability while still providing additional offensive status values. It may be worthwhile in combat situations where you fight alone, such as in a duel or in a solo arena.
Kinlady’s Cruelty (heavy): This set gives you 1 Max Health bonus, 1 bonus to Stamina regeneration, and 1 bonus to Armor. The last effect applies one of the following debuffs to targets within 8 meters for 18 seconds: Major Breach, Major Cowardice, Major Defile, Major Cripple, and Major Vulnerability. This effect can occur every 8 seconds when dealing direct damage.
Since the cooldown of the set effect is shorter than the duration of a debuff, it seems that up to 2 debuffs could be applied to an enemy. It is uncertain whether a further effect will also be added in that case. It may become interesting for support roles in PvE and PvP groups. Whether it is powerful or not largely depends on whether the effects can complement each other well or if it remains often with the same effect.

What is your opinion on the new sets? Have you perhaps already been able to try them out on the PTS (Public Test Server) or are you still eagerly awaiting their release? We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new equipment. Perhaps some of you have interesting ideas about how these sets can be used.
You can now vote for the Bundesliga “Player of the Month” (POTM) September. The winner receives a strong special card in FIFA 22.
What is the Bundesliga POTM? For several years, various “Players of the Month” in FIFA 22 have been equipped with a special card. These cards are available in the Premier League, Ligue 1, and this year also in Serie A, and, of course: In the Bundesliga.
For the POTM September in the Bundesliga, you can currently vote at EA Sports. There are six candidates eligible for the title.
Why is the POTM important in FIFA? The one who ultimately receives the title will be equipped with a strong special card in FIFA 22. The interesting thing is: This card can be obtained through a Squad Building Challenge. It is not simply available on the transfer market or in packs. You can earn it by trading in suitable squads for the card.
Let’s take a look at the candidates.
The 6 Candidates for the Bundesliga POTM in FIFA 22
The 6 candidates have all distinguished themselves with good performances in September and are currently eligible for the POTM in FIFA 22. If you want to vote at EA, you can go to the POTM vote (via EA Sports).
These are the candidates:
The 6 POTM candidates
Christian Günter: SC Freiburg is currently in fourth place in the Bundesliga and is still unbeaten this season. Left back and SC captain Christian Günter contributed to this and would be especially interesting for players who need a good LB for their Bundesliga team in FUT.
Erling Haaland: The Dortmund forward scored 4 goals in September, assisted another, and impressed with strong performances on the field. In FIFA 22, he is a popular striker – he should have good chances in the POTM vote as well.
Joshua Kimmich: The Bayern midfielder recorded three goals in September in his personal statistics, even though his primary role is not scoring goals. Kimmich already has a TOTW card – a POTM card could follow.
Christopher Nkunku: The forward from RB Leipzig managed to score twice in September and provided one assist. Nkunku has already received a well-improved TOTW card (84). A POTM card could mean a really exciting upgrade for Bundesliga teams.
Leroy Sané: Not long ago, there was talk of a form crisis for Sané – from which he is slowly emerging. 2 assists and 2 goals are on the books for September. A POTM card would be interesting for players looking for a speedy winger for their Bundesliga team.
Florian Wirtz: The Leverkusen talent would be an option for your Bundesliga attack, just like Nkunku. With 3 goals and 2 assists, the young forward qualifies for the POTM selection and could strengthen your team.

The creators of Genshin Impact, miHoYo, have announced what new features are coming or could come with future patches. The community does not agree with them and demands entirely different innovations.
miHoYo has a format called “Developer Q&A” (via HoYoLAB). There, they discuss community questions and how they plan to address issues. They also announce new features or updates for upcoming patches.
What new features and updates are coming? Genshin Impact has announced some new things and fixes that are supposed to come even in Patch 2.2:
In Mondstadt, event items from previous events will now be purchasable with Mora from the NPC named Marjorie. These items are:
“Balloon commemorating the Windblume Festival”
“Scenic Lyre”
“Wind Blessing Harpastum”
Special effects will be made more transparent when the crosshair of bow characters overlaps with them in target mode.
In Hangout events, options that you have previously selected will now be marked with a symbol to help you obtain different paths and endings.
Support for the DualSense™ Wireless Controller (PlayStation®5) will be available. The haptic feedback and the dynamic adaptive trigger function will be implemented.
Transport requests in Inazuma will be made faster by increasing the movement speed of goods.
The brightness of the special effect from Raiden Shogun will be reduced. This refers to the glowing orbs that indicate the stacks when you have used the special ability.
When pausing the game, cooldowns and durations of enemy abilities will no longer be skipped.
Balloon commemorating the Windblume Festival
Scenic Lyre
Wind Blessing Harpastum
These are the event items being referred to.
These features and updates are coming in the future:
The images from the Hangout events should be able to be hung in frames in the housing system.
There will be decorations that can play music.
The information display about the enemies on the different “Twisted Abyss” levels should be made more visible. Probably you can then also see the monster information during troop formation.
When leaving multiplayer mode, the original party will be restored. This also applies if another leaves your multiplayer mode.
What does the community say? The community is not satisfied with miHoYo’s announcements. They would prefer other things to be changed, fixed, or added.
Mcraven_Crow tops the same post (via HoYoLAB) with 2000 upvotes, almost as many as the actual post with 3100 upvotes:
My suggestions:
1. Electro Traveler’s Electro Greatsword is cooler than their current in-game ability set. We want more than their support capabilities.
2. Increase the forging limit for “Mystical Enhancement Ore”.
3. Continue to revise the Electro reactions, we can hardly feel the damage.
4. Increase the Mora per hour so we can obtain more items from the pot shop.
5. The last limit in the pot is still too low.
6. Increase resin from 160 to 200. Also reduce the time it takes to refill resin.
7. Controller support for Android smartphones.
The user nekroslol and many others under the post also want:
Please add the feature that allows switching constellations.
What does nekroslol mean by that? Once you have unlocked a constellation for a character, you cannot turn it off again. Bennett’s 6th constellation is a good example, as unlocking it limits rather than expands Bennett’s team capabilities. It would be practical if you could deactivate it for certain teams.
The community also wants more endgame content and artifact builds. They want specific artifact sets stored in a specific configuration for certain characters.
For example, if you equip Jean as support and then want to quickly switch to a sub-DPS build, you have to go through a long process of switching each individual artifact instead of being able to quickly switch between set configurations.
Additionally, fans have been asking for the feature that allows you to pet animals for a long time. So far, none of the features that the community has been longing for have been addressed.
What do you think of the new updates and fixes? Have your requests been fulfilled or do you have similar wishes as many of the fans? Feel free to write it in the comments.
