The beta of Call of Duty: Vanguard excites some players, but many cannot cope with the crazy respawn system. It is so out of control that Sledgehammer Games has to intervene with an update.
What is the problem? The spawns in the beta of CoD Vanguard are a thorn in the players’ side. Often, masses of players spawn at the same place all at once, and opponents just need to hold their weapons on one spot to collect kills in rows.
Videos show that the testing phase is currently a dream for spawn campers and why this is so bad.
Spawn kills diminish fun in multiplayer
What does it look like? In the community of practically every shooter, spawn locations at some point become THE topic. Spawn locations are the places where killed players re-enter a game.
What it looks like in-game is shown in the video by 7AMoOoD.K AlAwadhi on YouTube. The video lasts just under three minutes and shows a “Hotel Royal Spawn Trap Location” – a place where players spawn and get trapped.
The clip makes it clear: opponents spawn in a pile at the same spot, and the other team is just waiting there with their weapons drawn to shoot down the new spawns. Clearly, this ruins the fun for the opponents caught there.

Have you played the beta of CoD Vanguard and did you notice the spawn issues as well? Let us know your opinion about it here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss with the community about the current test. Are there details that we should shed more light on?

Your opinion on World of Warcraft is clear. The faction pressure is outdated – at least that’s what nearly 70% think.
The war between Horde and Alliance – a fundamental pillar of Warcraft and thus also World of Warcraft, which has now existed in the game for nearly 16 years. But isn’t 16 years long enough of conflict? Shouldn’t players be able to experience adventures together and tackle dungeons, quests, and raids side by side?
That’s exactly what we wanted to know a few days ago from you, our readers on MeinMMO – and you participated in large numbers in the survey. More than 3,200 of you shared your opinions with us and explained how you feel about this matter. And the result is quite exciting – and shows once again how differently the player base of World of Warcraft views this.
The result was quite clear. (Screenshot date: 10.09.2021, 15:00)
37% want to cooperate, but only in certain areas
The largest group of you (37%) believes that Horde and Alliance should play together in World of Warcraft – but only in certain content. There must be restrictions on where cooperative play is possible and where it is excluded.
For example, it is mentioned a few times that cooperative play in instanced areas – such as dungeons or raids – should be possible. In the open world, however, many can live with the fact that this is not feasible.
As our reader Manuel writes:
I would be in favor of Cross-Faction play, but with restrictions such as:
Capital cities should remain as they have always been, since there are neutral cities Quests that are only for the factions should remain for the respective faction Those in War Mode cannot attack their own people And story-related matters of course
Misterpanda writes about this:
I wouldn’t mind as long as it was limited to content that is the same for both sides, like dungeons and raids. In the single-player quest experience, the lore ‘Alliance vs Horde’ is much more important and too entrenched for example to suddenly quest with a Tauren in Stormwind. While I identify with my side, I would find it absolutely okay as a gameplay orientation to get groups faster in general dungeons & raids.
One in three wants no barriers
The next largest group – a solid 32% – finds the separation between Horde and Alliance completely unnecessary. Cooperative play should be possible everywhere and without any exceptions.
Ectheltawar says about this:
It may only be my personal opinion, but I have always found the very rigid faction wall annoying and can only see it positively when it finally disappears. […]
One would actually just have to ask what advantage the average WoW player has from the faction separation. Battlegrounds work without it and since we are primarily talking about the common tackling of raids and dungeons, which are anyway instanced, I see only advantages without significant disadvantages.
All together that makes about 70% who advocate cooperative play between Horde and Alliance at least in parts – a clear majority.
Only 25% are completely against it
Exactly one quarter of you (25%) have strict ideas and believe that Horde and Alliance should not play together. This would weaken the feeling of WoW and one of the foundational pillars of the game too much.
The user etmundi shares this view:
A clear no – never.
I already thought the decision for shared capitals was nonsense. Outside in the world or in the BGs, you bash each other’s skulls in, and afterwards stroll peacefully next to each other.
Indivion is also against it, but could at least come to terms with it under certain circumstances:
I’ll just say one thing, they are tearing down the pillar of the game. The game is called World of Warcraft and not World of Lovecraft.
I for my part want the conflict to continue. One forgets that every head of the Alliance as well as the Horde has people who would rather seek their revenge than extend a hand to the other faction.
If they at least make it logical, which I doubt, I’m at least willing to accept it. Otherwise, I’m completely against undermining the factions.
Opinions vary greatly, even within the community there are numerous differing views.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
Finally, it is quite interesting that the question alone is already extremely polarizing. Most feel loyal to one side or the other – only about 6% of you do not care whether Horde and Alliance can team up. Consequently, there are 94% who take a clear position on this and know exactly how things should proceed with Horde and Alliance.
What do you think of this result? Are you surprised by the distribution of votes? Or was it clear to you how the survey would turn out?
The upcoming MMORPG Elyon was originally set to release on September 29, but has now been unexpectedly postponed. In addition to a new release date, the game will also have a new business model, as it will change from Buy2Play to Free2Play. We from MeinMMO summarize.
What happened? In a tweet, the developers of Elyon announced that they will change the business model of the MMORPG. The game, which had to be purchased before, will now be Free2Play. To adjust the systems to the changes, the developers also need more time.
Thus, Elyon is now set to be released on October 20 at 4:00 PM, instead of the planned September 29.
Additionally, there will be a head start for buyers of a special version, which will begin on October 17 at 2:00 PM.
Why the delay? According to the developers, more time was needed to adjust the game systems to the new business model. However, the shop is not expected to be significantly affected, as confirmed by the studio on their website. They still do not intend to implement Pay2Win and are not planning to reconsider or revise this approach.
Furthermore, the developers emphasize that this also provides more time to incorporate certain quality-of-life improvements and fix more bugs that came to light during the closed beta.
What happens with the pre-orderers? The various pre-order packages will remain largely unchanged for the time being. Instead of access to Elyon, players will now receive 2,000 Rubies, which is the real money currency of the MMORPG.
If players are not satisfied, they can contact support and request a refund of the purchase price. The developers promise that these requests will be approved and processed as quickly as possible.
All other items in the pre-order packages will remain the same. However, the head start for the different packages has been extended, allowing all packages to start playing 72 hours earlier, which was previously only included in the biggest package. So if you have pre-ordered Elyon, you can start on October 17, regardless of which package you bought.
What else is happening? To make all adjustments, all Elyon packages will be removed from the shop until September 28 and will only be available for sale online afterward. However, according to the developer, there will not be another beta.
There will be events and livestreams with the developers where they want to show you more of Elyon and invite you to see the current state of the game. However, you will not be able to play it until the release on October 20.
What do you think of the delay? Do you give Elyon a chance as a Free2Play title? Are you even happy about the delay and the resulting distance from the release of top competitor New World? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
In Pokémon GO, the Fashion Week is starting soon. A special Pokémon release was teased by the developers on social media. Is Coiffwaff coming to Pokémon GO? All details about the Pokémon and the event are here.
What kind of event is this? The Fashion Week 2021 starts in September for Pokémon GO. The event will bring Pokémon that are stylishly dressed into the game. A “fluffy but fashionable friend” is supposed to be part of the event.
The developers hinted at which Pokémon will come with a silhouette. It is either a really good costume or the Pokémon Coiffwaff, the community suspects.
New Pokémon for the Fashion Week – Will it be Coiffwaff?
This is shown by Pokémon GO: Early in the morning of September 11, the Pokémon GO team shared an image for the Fashion Week on social media. Along with the question: Which costumed Pokémon will walk the runway at this year’s Fashion Week?

Some trainers joke under the image on Twitter that it is probably just a Pikachu with a very fancy Coiffwaff costume. The joke arises because Pikachu often has to stand in for costumes.
But for others, it is very obvious that this must be Coiffwaff itself. We from MeinMMO have brightened the Twitter image for you and made a comparison with Coiffwaff.
Left: The brightened photo from Twitter – Right: The original drawing for Coiffwaff
This makes it very likely that this fashionable Pokémon will be part of the Fashion Week. But who is that anyway?
This is Coiffwaff: The monster is part of the sixth generation of Pokémon. It belongs to the normal type and has no evolution. However, it can take on up to nine forms due to different haircuts. The unstyled standard form is called “Zottelform”.
The other forms are called:
Herzchenschnitt
Sternchenschnitt
Diamantenschnitt
Königinnenschnitt
Kabuki-Schnitt
Herrscherschnitt
Fräuleinschnitt
Damenschnitt
Kavaliersschnitt
In the YouTube video from Daki097 you can see all haircuts for Coiffwaff.

Fashion Week 2021 – What do we know before the start?
When does the event run? The Fashion Week runs from Tuesday, September 21 at 10:00 AM to Tuesday, September 28 at 8:00 PM.
What will happen? The Pokémon GO team explains that “stylishly dressed Pokémon” will appear at the event and will bring their “fluffy but fashionable friend”. These stylish Pokémon will be catchable. In addition, new avatar items will be released.
Further details about this year’s fashion event are not yet known.
In 2020, there was already a Fashion Week in Pokémon GO. The event brought Glibunkel with a turned cap, Sheinux with a top hat, and Kussilla with a bow.
How do you like the outlook for this year’s Fashion Week? Are you participating in the event or haven’t you found the convincing bonus yet?
A good gaming headset accompanies you in the home office and while gaming. However, the search for the perfect gaming headset can take a long time, as MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann had to find out.
A gaming headset often accompanies you for half the day, whether during work or in your free time: If you are in the home office, you need it when talking to colleagues. When you want to game, you talk to friends or listen to the sound in the game.
Nevertheless, it can take a long time to find the perfect headset for your needs. I had to realize this. Because I have very specific needs when I buy and wear a headset:
It must not be too heavy.
The microphone is preferably detachable and hopefully people enjoy listening to me.
The headset is well made and does not give me the feeling that it is going to break just by looking at it.
These headsets I have tried: On my way to the perfect headset, I have surely tried close to a dozen. Here is an excerpt from my search:
The GSP 670 by Epos|Sennheiser impressed me with its sound, but the headset was too heavy for me in the long run and pressed on my ears.
The Roccat ELO 7.1 had a comfortable fit, but my buddies were not very enthusiastic about the microphone.
With Logitech’s G533, I was not convinced by the build quality, the device felt flimsy to me. The sound was decent but did not provide enough punch in shooters. Teammates found the microphone clear.
This is the headset I decided on: After a long search, I ultimately chose the Logitech G Pro X. The MSRP is 129.99 euros, but you can usually get the headset for 80 to 90 euros.
With the Logitech G Pro X, I not only got a detachable microphone but also some accessories. Weighing around 300 grams, the headset is definitely on the lighter side. I have now been using the device for over a year and am satisfied.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
My headset fits comfortably, sounds good, and I sound good
These are the advantages: For currently just under 100 euros, buyers receive a comprehensive package. In addition to the actual headset, several cables for PC and mobile devices are included. There are also interchangeable ear pads, a sound card from Logitech, and a transport bag. You rarely get so much accessories for the price.
Logitech focuses on a simple design for the headset, which I personally really like. Instead of offering various additional features or RGB lighting like the Logitech G935, Logitech has concentrated on the core functions of a headset. I wouldn’t see the RGB lighting on the headset while wearing it anyway and it would only impress my girlfriend’s cat.
The core of a good headset for me consists of three things:
A good sound, because I want to have fun while gaming and enjoy orchestral music.
Comfort, because I have to wear such a headset for hours at a time.
The microphone. Nothing is worse than complaining colleagues or friends who cannot understand you.
And in these three mentioned categories, Logitech’s G Pro X can really convince me. The sound is powerful and bass-heavy, which doesn’t bother me while gaming. From my own experience, I can only advise to definitely use the Logitech G Pro X with the included sound card, as the sound becomes richer and fuller.
Sound is generally somewhat subjective, but the device completely convinces me. When I play Apex Legends with friends, I can clearly locate enemies and can also distinguish how close they are to me.
Explosions sound powerful and in films or dialogue-heavy series, dialogues are clearly audible. Details can also be distinguished well from the sound, such as the small bell from Ganyu in Genshin Impact, which rings softly with each of her movements. As I move through Mondstadt, I hear conversations of the residents coming closer and then fading away.
Various views of the Logitech G Pro X
I can wear the headset for 5 or 6 hours straight without ever feeling the need to just rip it off my head. Nevertheless, the gaming headset feels massive and robust, although it is significantly lighter than the GSP 670 from EPOS|Sennheiser.
My friends understand me during evening multiplayer sessions and my colleagues do not get startled every time I speak my mind into the microphone. Above all, I can game and my girlfriend can watch her series in the background without making friends feel like I am sitting in a waiting room of an American hospital.
The headset itself is made of steel, aluminum, and “memory foam,” which is said to be particularly comfortable for the ears. The “memory foam” is found in both the headband and the ear cushions. The headset gives me a very high-quality impression and is well made.
These are the disadvantages: You do not get spare parts for everything. If you have worn out all your ear pads, you cannot buy replacement pads from Logitech. A few months ago, I lost the microphone and had to order a replacement part through eBay. Because Logitech only offers the main cable as a replacement.
Another disadvantage is the overwhelming software. Because in the G-Hub software, you can customize just about everything or choose from pre-made sets. I am now using a specific set and no longer change the settings.
Maybe not necessarily a disadvantage, but: You cannot fold the headset. So if you like to be on the go or want to take your favorite hardware like a mouse and headset on vacation, the size may be an issue.
The headset always takes up the same amount of space, but if you have little room, it may bother you. The manufacturer Razer solves this better, as with the Razer Kaira Pro you can rotate the ear cushions 90 degrees and thus store the headset practically.
If you are interested in more exciting hardware stories,you might also find this interesting:
Whom can I recommend the headset to? I can recommend the Logitech G Pro X to you, especially if you are looking for a simple, well-crafted headset that scores with good ergonomics and a decent microphone. If you do not like wired headsets, then it is also worth looking at the wireless version, which costs about 40 euros more.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
If you instead wish for a headset with an aggressive appearance and RGB, with which you want to entertain your housemates, then this gaming headset may be less appealing to you.

Yes, Telesto has Destiny 2 broken again. This time the Trials were at risk. However, the Exotic receives support from a mod in Season 15, which is now also disabled.
This Exotic is locked: Bungie had to do this in Season 15 as well: The exotic Fusion rifle Telesto was disabled on the night of September 11, 2021. The lock applies throughout the Crucible and in Gambit (via Twitter).
Why players can only laugh about the curse and why the new Trials were in danger is explained to you by MeinMMO.
This is the Telesto curse: No other weapon is as broken in the Destiny universe as Telesto. The Exotic causes bugs every season and has therefore frequently had to be disabled by Bungie .
The blame usually lies with the special projectiles of the weapon: Telesto fires small purple balls that act like sticky mines and explode later. The game doesn’t handle these things well:
The purple bombs are registered as enemies
You could gain unlimited ammo with them
Telesto bypassed raid mechanics
In the blind source, you could almost completely skip the activity
The Exo gave Guardians maximum buffs only when they shot at the projectiles themselves
Here we have summarized the entire cursed story of Telesto for you on MeinMMO:
This is why the Trials were at risk: The new Trials of Osiris started on September 10 in Destiny 2 (Trials of Osiris). Bungie bragged about strong reworks and meaningful innovations that would finally make the PvP endgame attractive for everyone… but then Telesto came.
A new glitch with Telesto granted a considerable number of Orbs of Power every round. With this, one could either unleash the Super unnaturally often or supply themselves with strong buffs for “Charged with Light” builds. Especially for a competitive PvP mode, this is game-breaking.
This mod is locked: However, this time Telesto is not solely to blame for the mess. The new bug works in conjunction with the seasonal artifact mod “Thermal Clastic Bloom”. This mod has also been disabled now, completely.
With the mod, melee attacks with Solar and Stasis classes automatically grant an Orb. If you remember: Telesto projectiles are perceived by the game as enemies. So after a Telesto charge, there were just orbs raining down.
Every season the same: Telesto brings a purple bug into the game.
How quickly Bungie reacted: The new Telesto glitch from Season 15 made the rounds directly at the start of the Trials at 7:00 PM on September 10 (via YouTube). About 3 hours later, Bungie pulled the emergency brake and disabled Telesto and the mod.
Whether and when the lock will be lifted is still unclear. On September 16, Patch 3.3.0.2 is coming out – but this was already announced before the Telesto fiasco.
Bungie shouldn’t test anything and the Guardians still laugh
Although the current Season 15 is well received and player numbers speak volumes for Destiny 2, the criticism of Bungie is growing louder on one point: “Is Bungie not testing anything anymore?” is heard more and more frequently from the Guardians. Although this criticism is not new, the many locks in recent months raise this question.
This is how the community reacts: Yet somehow, Telesto enjoys largely unrestricted freedom here. Guardians have gotten used to the Exotic breaking something again. This has become a real running gag, and people are just waiting for the announcement of the lock. By the way, Telesto has had the nickname since Destiny 1: Telesto is da besto.
“I am so proud of Telesto,” writes Dthirds3 (via reddit). It continues here: “It let us wait for a whole four weeks and slept but then finally awoke in Season 15.”
throwaway07311999 says: “Days without Telesto incidents: 0. Our little rascal never disappoints us” (via reddit)
And also on MeinMMO, our reader jolux laughs: “Haha! Bungie has just done it again” and quotes Bungie’s Twitter announcement regarding the lock.
What do you think, can you only laugh about Telesto and the locks or do you still complain? Deep down, you knew it was only a matter of time before the curse would strike again in Season 15. Let us know your opinion in the comments.

In the last 2 years, YouTube has increased its offerings in live streaming in the area of “video games” and attracts top stars from the market leader Twitch with lucrative exclusive contracts. We at MeinMMO look at the 5 most important gaming streamers who made the leap from Twitch to YouTube. In most cases, they were convinced to switch platforms with a lot of money.
When did the trend start? In October 2019, a successful streamer, “dellor”, was banned from Twitch for pulling a keyboard over his head. When he got upset about the ban, the head of YouTube Gaming, Ryan Wyatt, appeared and invited dellor to stream on YouTube. Dellor switched and quickly became number 1 in YouTube’s then-minuscule live streaming section.
This made YouTube an overnight alternative to Twitch. Those who were banned from Twitch could find refuge at YouTube and continue. But it quickly became clear: Switching from Twitch to YouTube was financially worthwhile. Shortly after dellor, the first streamers voluntarily switched and signed lucrative exclusive contracts with YouTube Gaming.
Since then, Ryan Wyatt has been poaching streamers from Twitch. He lures them with multi-year contracts that – as rumored – pay streamers handsomely for their services. Although YouTube is a successful and important platform for “video on demand”, Wyatt is now working to enhance the live streaming offerings of the platform through acquisitions.
Jack “CouRageJd” Dunlop switched in November 2019.
Number 5: Jack “CouRageJD” Dunlop
How successful was he on Twitch: CouRage became known as an employee and caster of a US league for Call of Duty before he worked as a full-time streamer. He made a name for himself as part of the “Fortnite” clique around Ninja. The blue-haired Twitch star regularly teamed up with 3 other Twitch streamers: Since Ninja had over 14 million followers on Twitch for the wedding, the viewership numbers of anyone streaming with Ninja skyrocketed.
In 2018, CouRage had an average of 6500 viewers, entertaining a total of 2.1 million followers.
How important was CouRage on Twitch: CouRage was more of a second-tier streamer who was still finding himself as a content creator. He was an entertainer focused on comedy and self-irony.
However, he was already well-connected with other streamers and often engaged in verbal battles with Ninja or DrDisrespect. CouRage was also one of the moderators for the Fortnite World Championship with his friend DrLupo. Additionally, he had contacts with the e-sports organization 100 Thieves.
CouRage switched to YouTube because he wanted to escape the daily grind on Twitch.
Why did he switch? CouRageJD was the “first major streamer” to switch to YouTube. He announced his switch on November 5, 2019. Surely, money played a role, but in a statement, CouRageJD emphasized that he was tired of always chasing subscribers on Twitch. He felt like he was on a treadmill: As soon as he fell behind, he feared losing paying subscribers.
He hoped to achieve a quieter life from streaming on YouTube with the opportunity to try more. The platform switch also made sense as he already had a substantial presence on YouTube, which he would now continue to expand.
How successful is CouRage on YouTube: The career of “CouRageJD” has developed positively on YouTube. He now has 3.4 million subscribers on YouTube, significantly more than he had on Twitch at the time. His videos regularly achieve over 500,000 views.

The video has over 270,000 views. CouRage reads mean tweets about himself.
CouRage is primarily a self-ironic streamer who frequently collaborates with other content creators. They tease each other, play pranks on one another, or enjoy each other’s misfortunes. CouRage is also a co-owner of the e-sports organization 100 Thieves.
It seems that the “video on demand” style suits CouRage better than live streaming on Twitch. With Call of Duty: Warzone, CouRage has also found a new game, following Fortnite, with which he is successful.
Since September 9, the open beta of New World has been running. However, the performance seems to be lacking. The community is complaining about low FPS, high input lag, and sound bugs.
What problems are there? In the New World community, people have been reporting performance issues since the start of the open beta. Even PC systems with the strongest graphics card models are struggling.
For fans, this is a big step back. Some explain that New World ran much better during its closed testing phase. We will show you here the voices from the community and tips for resolving the beta issues.
Lower FPS than in previous tests and sound bugs
How do the graphics problems manifest? On reddit , WardJeYx writes that this has been the worst experience in New World so far. “The closed beta was clearly better in terms of FPS and input lag. I don’t know what happened, but I am relieved that I’m not the only one.”
With his system, WardJeYx was able to play in the closed beta with 50 FPS. “Now I’m at 25 FPS with freezes and 180ms input lag. I hope it won’t be like this at release.”
In another thread on reddit , liquidbeansuc also reports a “very bad performance.” The community member explains how the issues manifest. The user plays with an I5-7300HK CPU and a GTX 1050 Ti graphics card.
“When I play on ‘Very High’ settings, I get about 20 FPS. On ‘Low’ settings, I reach about 40 FPS. There is no software active that limits my FPS. My graphics card is at 15% utilization, my CPU at 50% utilization. 2 threads are permanently at 100% utilization.” As a graphics card, liquidbeansuc uses an RTX 3090 and for CPU an i9-7980XE.
What could help? In the comments on reddit, the community advises adjusting shadow settings. “Shadows seem to be a problem. When I set all settings to ‘Very High’, I reach 70 FPS, 30 FPS in cities. If I change the shadows from ‘Very High’ to ‘High’, I reach 100 and 55 [FPS],” explains Nephiko on reddit.
These improved values without shadows are also confirmed by other users on reddit and they recommend reducing the shadow quality when graphics performance is inadequate.
Reducing the shadow quality has been a “trick” for years to squeeze more FPS out of a game. Players have used this since the early versions of Counter-Strike, as many can do without the shadows while playing. However, in the case of New World, this is only a “quick fix”. Ideally, the game should perform well even with good shadow quality on appropriate hardware.
Better performance in New World – Use these settings
What does Amazon advise? On the Amazongames website, there are some troubleshooting suggestions in technical support. They address low FPS and general performance.
As quick solutions, the team suggests:
Switch from windowed mode or borderless window mode to full screen – or vice versa. That could increase the FPS.
Close any program (browser, etc.) that you don’t currently need but is active in the background.
Check if Windows or other games are currently downloading an update. Tasks that write to the hard drive can significantly reduce your computer’s performance.
Is your power plan set to high performance?
If that doesn’t help, Amazon advises the following solutions:
Go into the game settings and select the “low” option under “Graphics”.
Open your PC’s power profile and set it to high performance. You can find it by pressing the “Windows key” + “R” and then typing “powercfg.cpl” and hitting enter.
Look for Windows updates and update your computer.
Load fewer applications at startup.
Check for the latest drivers for your graphics card.
Verify the game data for errors on Steam. To do this, open your Steam library, right-click on New World and click on Properties, select “Local Files” and then the option “Verify Integrity of Game Files …” – Note, this may result in a new download.
Scan your system for malware.
Reset your profile in the Catalyst Control Center (AMD) or Nvidia Control Panel to default.
Check if your system is overheating.
Audio problems? A simple trick can help with sound bugs
What is the problem? Occasionally, the sound in New World doesn’t work properly. The community reports this on reddit. But there is said to be a very simple trick that can help.
This is the solution: On reddit, TactfulRanger writes: “If your audio is bugging out, just open your inventory and close it again.” And it seems to work, as several voices in the thread thank him. One writes, “You are the best! I came here specifically to check if anyone has a solution.”
How is your performance in the open beta of New World? Are you satisfied or did you have problems that you perhaps solved through this article? Let us know your opinion on the subject here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with our community.

On September 9th, the MMO New World launched its open beta, where you can test the features of the game. One of the most important is the combat system. Which weapons did you like the most?
This is how the weapon system of New World works: The combat system of New World is quite different from classic MMORPGs like WoW or FFXIV. It is action-oriented, and you must position yourself correctly in combat, aim your attacks, and dodge opponents if you want to be victorious.
To stand against your enemies, you get to choose from a selection of 11 weapons, of which you can carry 2 at the same time. These weapons determine your playstyle and which abilities you can use in combat. Accordingly, they have a significant impact on how New World feels for you in combat.
Some weapon combinations are more suited for a defensive playstyle, while others can deal a lot of damage and play as a DD.
These are the weapons you can choose from: During the open beta, you can test the various weapons at will and decide which ones you like the most. The following weapon types are available:
Sword and Shield – Melee, more defensive
Rapier – Melee, high damage
War Axe – Melee, high damage
War Hammer – Melee, high CC
Axe – Melee and ranged, high damage
Spear – Melee and ranged, damage and CC
Bow – Ranged, high damage
Musketeer – Ranged, high damage
Fire Staff – Ranged with magic, high damage
Life Staff – Ranged with magic, damage and healing
Icy Staves – Ranged with magic, CC and support
So you can, for example, go into battle with a bow and a rapier, ambushing opponents from a distance and then going into melee. Or you can use the life staff to support yourself and your allies.
For more guides and information on New World, you can find them here:
Thisis how you can vote: In the survey tool below, you can indicate which weapons have been the most fun for you during the beta so far and which ones you will play after the release.
Since you can carry two weapons in New World, you can also select two of them in the survey. However, the choice cannot be undone.
Now tell us: Which weapons have you chosen? Why those weapons and not others? Did you have to experiment for a long time or did you know right away which ones you would play? Do you already know which builds you will use?
Write it in the comments and have fun testing the open beta.
The dispute between the billion-dollar corporation Epic Games (Fortnite) and the trillion-dollar corporation Apple (iOS) continues. Now, Epic Games wants to use a new law in South Korea to make Fortnite playable again on iOS. On those smartphones running iOS, Fortnite has not been playable for about a year.
This is the situation:
Epic Games protested in August 2020 against Apple taking 30 % of the revenue from Fortnite in the App Store and circumvented the payment method in a nighttime operation. Apple then banned Fortnite from iOS.
Since then, there have been ongoing disputes between Epic Games and Apple: Epic Games accuses Apple of being greedy. They wanted so much of the profit from games on iOS that it hinders game development globally. Apple portrays Epic Games as deceitful scoundrels. They would only sue, to keep their struggling game relevant.
Now a new law in South Korea again provides room for an attack. Epic Games is gearing up for a strike.
New law in South Korea calls for opening of App Store and Google Play
What is this law in South Korea? The law forces Apple and Google to allow alternative payment methods in their stores. Should the tech giants refuse to comply with the law, fines of up to 3 % of their revenue in South Korea are threatened.
According to a report by The Verge, lobbyists in the USA are already working to circumvent the law. This would violate a trade agreement, as the law would attempt to influence the behavior of companies based in the USA.
This is what Epic Games says: They state on Twitter:
“Epic has asked Apple to reinstate the Fortnite developer account. Epic intends to re-release Fortnite on iOS in South Korea and offer both our payment system and Apple’s in accordance with the new Korean law.”
The tweet has already reached over 20,000 likes within a few hours.
This is what is behind it: It is clearly another maneuver to exert constant pressure on Apple. Epic Games wants to force a decision in this case and continue to annoy Apple.
The new proposal would now be a compromise. Players would have the freedom to choose whether to buy their V-Coins from Apple or from Epic Games. Through price discounts, Epic Games could make it very easy for players to choose.
It can be assumed that Apple will not give in.
Apple declines
Update 21:03: The response from Apple is here. In a statement to The Verge, it is said that Epic Games will not be allowed back into the App Store until they “play by the rules that apply to everyone.”
The law in South Korea is not yet in effect. However, even if the law is enacted in South Korea, it will not have any effect on the policies at Apple, it says. Only if Epic agrees to the conditions of the App Store would they consider Epic Games’ request.
More details on the ongoing dispute between Apple and Epic Games can be read here:
Xur is visiting us again this time in Destiny 2 right in time for the daily reset on Friday, September 10. What he has in store for us this time and whether there is something useful among his goods, you will find out here at MeinMMO.
This weekend’s agenda: In Destiny 2, the revised Trials of Osiris are starting today. Bungie took a closer look at the Trials and made changes to the Trials that some Guardians might actually like.
Many Guardians were surely tired of jumping to their deaths just to get good loot from the Saint. That could change in the future.
Did you know that Destiny 2 is successful despite the not-so-popular seasonal model? Bungie’s plan is working, and the numbers speak for the action MMO.
Xur is bringing Exotics today – If you lack legendary firepower, we have a tip for you on how to easily get an unknown weapon that is definitely worth it:
All info about Xur on September 10, 2021 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur arrive? Xur’s schedule always looks the same. The tentacle-faced black market dealer will await us every Friday at exactly 7:00 PM at a random location in the solar system. Xur disappears every Tuesday at the weekly reset at 7:00 PM.
Where is Xur? This is his location for the weekend
Xur’s location: Xur has arrived and is now in the “Twisted Cove” in the EDZ.
Xur’s location in the EDZ
Xur’s inventory from 09.10. to 14.09. – All Exotics at a glance
What does Xur have on offer? Xur always carries exotic weapons and armor for all characters – for Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans. Every week there is a random offer, and the stats on the Exo armor are also rolled randomly. We will take a look at Xur’s current offer and provide the key data about the equipment, including the legendary items.
This is what he has for us this time:
Weapon: Monte Carlo – Auto Rifle for 29 Legendary Shards
Legendary items: Xur is also now offering legendary items. As inflation has also hit him hard, he is forced to offer us Guardians old legendary armor and weapons in order to stay afloat.

This week we will fight for glory and honor on the map “Burnout”.
This is the map Burnout
You will no longer get your loot through three, five, and seven wins, but through:
seven wins
50 rounds
the notorious Flawless Run
What you get from the Saint for the first two conditions is uncertain. However, with a Flawless Run, you will be rewarded with a Shayura’s Wrath submachine gun.
When do the Trials start? The Trials start exactly at 7:00 PM. With the revamped Trials of Osiris system, we hope the sweatiness of the rounds will hopefully decrease. If not, still keep a towel handy.
Are you looking forward to the revamped Trials? Or does the thought make your hair stand on end and you prefer to skip this stress? Let us know in the comments what you think about it.

EA has finally announced all leagues from FIFA 22 as well as a partnership with the Italian Serie A. We show you which teams are included in the latest installmentand what is changing with the licenses.
These licenses are offered in FIFA 22: EA Sports states that FIFA 22 will again feature numerous licensed teams from over 30 leagues. EA mentions the following numbers (via EA):
Licenses for the Champions League, the Europa League, and the new Europa Conference League
Are there new leagues in FIFA 22? In FIFA 22, there will only be one completely new league, the Indian Super League. Also new is the men’s national team of Ukraine.
This is new in FIFA 22: While FIFA 21 already featured most Serie A teams with full licensing, EA did not have a partnership with the league itself. This has now changed for FIFA 22.
For FIFA 22, this means that matches between Italian teams will receive a more authentic presentation and that there will be a monthly POTM card (Player of the Month) for Ultimate Team.
These teams are still missing: The new partnership with the Italian Serie A does not mean that all Serie A teams are fully licensed. As in FIFA 21, all clubs, including player names, are represented, but 4 major clubs do not have original club names, crests, or kits.
These are:
Juventus Turin (In FIFA: Piemonte Calcio)
AS Rom (Roma FC)
Atalanta Bergamo (Bergamo Calcio)
Lazio Rom (Latium)

Is there also a women’s league? If you want to play women’s football, you still have to stick to the national team.
Are you looking forward to a specific league in FIFA 22? Let us know in the comments! We will tell you here what will change in FIFA 22:
The Steam Deck is seen by some users as a competitor to the Nintendo Switch. MeinMMO presents you the differences and similarities of the consoles.
With the Steam Deck, Valve surprisingly introduced a handheld console. Many immediately stated, that the Steam Deck is the right Switch Pro, as it offers better hardware and more features.
But where do the similarities and differences between the two handheld consoles lie? MeinMMO presents you the similarities and differences of the consoles and looks at the end whether the Steam Deck really wants to be a competitor to the Switch.
[toc]
The technical specifications in comparison
In this section, we will look into the technical specifications of the two consoles. We compare what the consoles can offer on paper and where the differences lie.
Steam Deck
Valve relies on AMD for the Steam Deck. For the processor, they use AMD’s Zen 2, while the graphics card employs RDNA 2. Combined, this is paired with 16 GB LPDDR RAM. This is memory designed to consume particularly little power (LP stands for Low Power) and is mainly used in mobile devices like phones, consoles, and laptops.
For the display, Valve opts for a 7-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1280×800. You can choose from three different storage sizes (64 Gb, 256 GB, and 512 GB) for the Steam Deck. Additionally, you can expand the storage.
Nintendo Switch
Nintendo uses Nvidia and its “Tegra X1” chip for its handheld console, which is responsible for both processing and graphics performance. Additionally, it comes with 4 GB LPDDR4 RAM.
For the display, Nintendo opts for 7 inches with LCD technology and a resolution of 1280×720. You get 64 GB of storage, but you can easily expand it with an additional memory card.
Differences between Switch and Steam Deck
In the technical comparison, the Steam Deck has the upper hand over the competition. The Steam Deck uses an AMD chip (Zen 2, RDNA 2), which we already know from the PlayStation 5, albeit with less power.
Another difference can be observed in the battery life. With the Steam Deck, you have a maximum of 2 hours under full load, while the Nintendo Switch lasts for at least 4.5 hours. However, it also depends on which games you are playing and how long the battery ultimately lasts.
The performance difference is not surprising, as the Nintendo Switch is now also 4 years old and Nintendo has not yet released a revised version with faster hardware. With the Nintendo Switch OLED, at least a model with an improved display has been introduced.

Hardware and Software
In this section, we will address the differences in hardware and software:
How are the two consoles built and what functions do they offer.
What does the software of the consoles look like and what can you do with it.
Steam Deck
The Steam Deck is based on an open platform. Theoretically, any user can install whatever they want on their device. If you do not want Steam OS, which is based on Linux, you can easily install Windows as well. Valve itself states in its official announcement: “The Steam Deck is a PC on which you can install third-party software and operating systems.”
You can install games directly from the Steam Store and generally also from other providers like GoG and others.
In terms of design, the Steam Deck features fixed buttons and controllers. There is also supposed to be a docking station with additional features available at release, but nothing is known about it yet.
Nintendo Switch
If you want to use the Switch, you have a given framework. You must use the existing, pre-installed system. It is officially not allowed to install another operating system.
The Nintendo Switch uses so-called Joy-Cons, which are controllers that you can attach to the console, but you can also use without the console. The full-fledged Nintendo Switch offers you, unlike the Lite version, also a docking station that provides you with a higher resolution while gaming.
If you want to install games, you can either rely on physical Switch games via cartridge or purchase them from the in-house eShop. There are no other options.
Differences between Switch and Steam Deck
With the Nintendo Switch, you get a console that operates within a clear framework. With the Steam Deck, on the other hand, you get more of a mini-PC, which you theoretically do not have to use just for gaming.
This naturally has advantages and disadvantages regarding usability. The software of the Switch appears overall more accessible and tailored to a younger audience. With the Steam Deck, you have significantly more options available, which may not please everyone.
Steam Deck vs Nintendo Switch – What games are available?
What games do Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck offer in comparison? Can you play the same games on both devices, or does one of the consoles have an advantage over the competition? We present the differences and specialties here.
Steam Deck
With Valve’s console, you can access your entire Steam library. Which games run well on the console is still unknown.
Additionally, you can officially install Windows on the console alongside SteamOS and thereby use other game launchers.
Nintendo Switch
The Switch mainly offers you games that are exclusively tailored for the Nintendo Switch. These include titles like the Pokemon games, Zelda, or Animal Crossing. In addition, there are also ports of well-known games that you can also play on the Switch. Other games outside of Switch are not planned.
Differences between Switch and Steam Deck
The Switch mainly relies on exclusive games that you can only play on the Nintendo Switch. There are also no ports for other platforms. All games you can play on the Steam Deck are also available on the desktop PC.
You can play your Steam games on both PC and the Steam Deck.
Price
How much do the two handheld consoles, often seen in direct competition, actually cost? We present you the prices of the consoles and explain where the differences lie.
Steam Deck
This is the cost of the Steam Deck: The Steam Deck is available in three different price categories. The price depends on which configuration you choose. The current prices for pre-orders of the Steam Deck are:
The Nintendo Switch currently costs around 330 Euro. The price is quite stable and hardly fluctuates. The price includes not only the Nintendo Switch and the Joy-Cons but also the docking station.
The weaker Switch Lite is already available for 229 Euro, but you have to forgo the docking mode.
Differences between Switch and Steam Deck
In price comparison, the Steam Deck is significantly more expensive than the Nintendo Switch. However, for the higher price, you also receive faster and more modern hardware with the Steam Deck than with the Switch.
Currently, there are only two versions of the Nintendo Switch, and an OLED version is expected to arrive by the end of the year, which will be priced higher than the standard Switch version.
A possible Nintendo Switch Pro is being hotly debated, but Nintendo has not yet presented or announced anything in this direction:
Target Audience: Who are the Switch and Steam Deck aimed at?
When comparing the Steam Deck and Switch, you also have to ask the question of who the consoles are actually aimed at. Especially when comparing the target audiences, the differences between the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch become clearly visible.
Steam Deck
Valve targets mobile gamers and wants to bring the gaming PC to the mobile device. Instead of sitting at the desktop PC, you can now sit on the couch or in bed and game from there.
Valve wants to appeal particularly to users with the open system who are willing to engage with the device.
Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch relies on a simple system without additional options, making it significantly more accessible. Many games that you can play on the Nintendo Switch are also aimed at a younger audience. With a price of around 300 Euro for the standard Switch, it targets a broad audience.
Differences between Switch and Steam Deck
Both Valve and Nintendo are targeting two different markets. While Valve primarily wants to appeal to PC gamers, Nintendo focuses more on a younger and generally broader audience.
Also regarding the offer of games and software, they are targeting significantly different user groups. While Steam offers every type of game, which is not necessarily suitable for children, the games on the Nintendo Switch are overall more family-friendly, and there are clear guidelines for release on Nintendo’s platform.
The Nintendo Switch targets a broad user base
Nintendo has been very successful with its Switch so far, while Valve still has to establish itself in the market. With its previous hardware like Steam Controller or Steam Machines, Valve has been relatively unsuccessful. In the end, the question will mainly be whether you prefer to game on a PC or rather enjoy the “console feeling.”
What do you think? Would you buy a Steam Deck or have you already presented it? Do you see the Switch and Steam Deck as competitors or are they consoles that do not need to fear mutual competition?
This week there were news from Blizzard and Amazon, as well as a protest action on Twitch. Learn more about it in our MeinMMO podcast.
These are the topics: At Blizzard, there was again bad news about declining player numbers in the quarterly report. The monthly active users have been decreasing for years. The company is now combating this with a trick.
The postponement of the MMORPG Lost Ark to early 2022 has upset fans and angered many, but this happened for the good of the game. Otherwise, it would clash with New World. CoD Vanguard revealed new information and unveiled the multiplayer this week.
On Twitter, the head of the publisher Tripwire commented on the controversial abortion law in Texas and subsequently stepped down from his position.

Since players have different tastes, many responses come in. From the new alien skin ‘Kymera’ to ‘Master Chief’, everything is included.
Which skins suit the event? Since this is the season of the invasion, alien skins or agent skins would not be out of place.
Here’s a list of skins that have a connection to aliens or agents:
Interesting skins for the alien–theme:
Kymera
Xenomorph
Zorgoton
Predator
Demogorgon
Master Chief
Bill the Human
Interesting skins for agents:
Midas
Chaos Agent
Agent Jones
Agent Peely
Wildcard
Shadow Enforcer
Ghost Enforcer
Of course, there are many more skins you can use. These lists just give you a small overview of which skins might be possible.
However, you can also choose other crazy skins that have nothing to do with the theme or are fitting. The main thing is that you like the selected skin and embody your character.
Why is the right skin so important? Since every player wants to capture that special Fortnite moment, they feverishly look for a skin that looks great on them or is suitable for the situation.
If players take pictures during the event, looking back at these pictures after a while will create nostalgic moments.
In retrospect, one thinks: “Oh right, I was there too, definitely a cool event” or one thinks “Wow right, I was there too, that event was terrible, hopefully, I never experience something like this again.”
This way, many cool memories can be collected that make Fortnite the game it is today.
Which skin combo will you choose, Christos? My selection was easy, as I always use my favorite skin.
Let me introduce you – Globeshaker, my favorite skin.
This is my favorite skin, which I bought during its first appearance in the item shop and have never changed since: the Snow Globe Head skin. I complement my combo with the old back bling version of Lara Croft and round everything off with the pickaxe ‘Gold Digger’.
These accessories I use in detail:
Skin: Snow Globe Head skin
Backbling: Survival Gear – Lara’s Backpack Style
Pickaxe: Gold Digger
Glider: Design Parachute
Contrail: Zero Point
With this skin combo, I am prepared for everything and ready to destroy the mothership once and for all with other players.
There is definitely a wide selection of skins suitable for the event, but you might want to be there with your favorite skin to give everything a certain character.
Have you already prepared for the event and know which skin you will show up with? Let us know in the comments which skin combo you will bring along.

To be an effective healer in the new MMORPG New World, you need a very specific weapon. Since there are no classes in the game, your weapon determines what you can and cannot do. Additionally, you must level up your weapon to unlock skills with it. So you might be wondering: How do I craft a Life Staff in New World?
What is the Life Staff? The Life Staff is one of three magical weapons in New World. Unlike the Fire Staff and Ice Gauntlet, the Life Staff is the only one that fully focuses on support and scales with the Focus attribute.
The Life Staff gives you the option to choose between healing and protection, thereby supporting yourself and your allies. Especially for beginners, we recommend focusing on Sword and Life Staff.
How do you craft the Life Staff? To craft such a staff, you need to find a settlement of level 2. It is necessary for the Arcana Archive of the settlement, identifiable by the circle symbol on the map, to also be at level 2. This is required to craft magical weapons.
After that, you just need to interact with the Arcana Archive and can craft a Life Staff if you have the appropriate materials. If the staff does not appear in your selection list, the necessary level 2 of the archive has not been reached.
To craft a Life Staff made of iron for beginners, you need the following raw materials:
12 iron bars (obtained by smelting iron ore in the smelter)
5 raw leather (obtained by tanning leather at the tannery)
6 life particles (obtained by harvesting life blooms)
This is how you can craft the Life Staff
How do I get life particles? Especially the life particles can pose a challenge at the beginning. To harvest them, you need the Life skill Harvesting at level 30. You can level this up by harvesting plants of all kinds.
Once you reach level 30, the MMORPG allows you to gather magical plants. Focus on the large and white glowing ones; these are the life blooms that provide you with the necessary raw materials for the Life Staff.
This is what the plants you need look like
The Life Staff is also exciting for solo players
Why is the Life Staff good for beginners? Especially in the early game, the Life Staff is optimal for you, as it makes fighting much easier. You can heal yourself, boost yourself, and deal a bit of damage from a distance before the enemy reaches you.
When the enemy gets to you, you can use the ability “Holy Ground”. This creates a field in front of you that triggers life drain for all who stand in the field. Therefore, if you switch to your secondary weapon and hit, you heal yourself even if you no longer have the staff in hand.
Additionally, with healing and life drain, you can save a lot of food and healing potions.
Which skills should you use? You should invest your first skill points in the protector tree of the Life Staff and unlock the skills “Protection Sphere” and “Beacon”. Around weapon level 6, you can then get the last skill in the healing tree, which is “Holy Ground”.
If you often play solo, you don’t need to unlock the last skills of the trees, as they focus on supporting your group. You can therefore concentrate more on the passive improvements of your existing skills, making you quite strong relatively early.
Among other things, you can learn “Touch of the Protector” to take less damage when attacking or use “Balance” to run away faster when you fall below 50% health. The Life Staff makes your life in New World considerably easier, especially at the beginning.
The first ratings for FIFA 22 are now known. Among other things, Kylian Mbappé showed his new card – and it looks really strong.
What are these ratings? The ratings are the values that footballers are equipped with in FIFA 22. The higher the rating and the individual stats of a player, the stronger he will be.
Normally, EA Sports publishes the ratings collectively before the FIFA 22 release. But now the first values are getting out to the public in bits and pieces: Several footballers are showing their new cards on social media, and EA also released some values themselves in a video. So it seems like the waiting for the ratings for FIFA 22 is slowly coming to an end.
We will take a look here at what values are already known. This article will be updated as soon as more ratings become known.
Mbappé, Bellingham show cards – More values known
These values we know now: The cover star of FIFA 22, Kylian Mbappé, released his new gold card via Instagram Story. It shows that the Frenchman will get a card with an overall value of 91. He will definitely rank among the best players in FIFA 22.
This is how Mbappé’s values will look in FIFA 22 (via futbin)
Also, the individual stats look extremely strong. 97 pace, 92 dribbling, and 88 shooting make Mbappé again a very dangerous attacker. Additionally, there are 80 in passing, 77 in shooting, and 36 in defense. But: Defending, that is not Mbappé’s job anyway.
Alongside Mbappé, Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham also showed his new card in FIFA 22 on Instagram. The central midfielder will be equipped with a 79 overall rating. While he does not belong to the top cards in FIFA, the jump from his 69 card in FIFA 21 is considerable with 10 points.
Additionally, there are more cards that EA Sports released in a trailer for a new partnership between FIFA 22 and Serie A. We will embed that here:

The new action MMO New World has launched into an open beta on Steam. Although players could already try the online game in July and the progress won’t carry over to the release, Amazon’s MMO has again over 140,000 concurrent players. This is enough for 5th place, making the New World beta have more players on Steam than GTA 5 or the new Naraka Bladepoint.
Current player count for New World: New World has reached a daily peak of 141,668 players today. This is enough for 5th place among the top games on Steam. It is only outperformed by the Steam mainstays CS:GO, DOTA 2, PUBG, and Apex Legends.
According to SteamDB, New World is considered the number one game among “Trending Games” with this achievement.
For everyone playing now, the starting area with the ghost pirates awaits again at the release on September 28, 2021. The progress from the Open Beta will also not carry over to the release.
This is how it’s going for New World on Twitch: On Twitch, New World has not quite convinced yet. Currently, the MMO is in 12th place with about 32,000 concurrent viewers.
At its peak last night, New World had 153,813 viewers – which was still enough for 12th place.
The biggest streamer for the beta launch last night was the MMO specialist Fextralife. Otherwise, hardly any well-known Twitch streamers have looked into New World. Many will likely wait for the official launch.
For those interested in learning more about New World and how things will continue after the release, we recommend our MeinMMO podcast:
In The Elder Scrolls Online there is a crossover event with the heavy metal band Trivium right now. You can participate in crazy metal challenges throughout September and even win prizes. What you need to do and how it works can be found here on MeinMMO.
What kind of event is this? From September 7 to September 27, 2021, everything in ESO is about heavy metal! Every three days, there will be a new community challenge that allows you to complete special heavy metal tasks. This entire event is in collaboration with the band Trivium, which was announced during Quake Con 2021.
What is Trivium? The metal band Trivium hails from Florida and belongs to the genre of metalcore/progressive metal. Their lyrics deal with mythical events, among other things. On October 1, Trivium will also present a brand new music video inspired by ESO. This is because the lead singer, Matt Heavy, is an avid gamer and Elder Scrolls fan. This was also the reason for the collaboration with ESO.
If you want to listen to Trivium’s tracks, you have the opportunity to do so here on Spotify:

FIFA 22 is just a few weeks away, and FIFA 21 is suddenly distributing a ton of Super Cards to players. The teams are now packed with intense footballers. But are these Super Cards actually cool?
FIFA 21 releases special cards: The majority of the “season” in Ultimate Team is over, the big events have passed. No wonder, as the FIFA 22 release is just around the corner.
This also means that FIFA 21 now has a lot of special cards that you could get throughout the year. In the current “season preparation,” there are even 100 of the best special cards available in packs.
At the same time, there is a quite simple Squad Building Challenge – the repeatable “85+-Upgrade x 10” SBC. Players are currently using it very successfully to win extremely strong cards in FUT.
98-rated de Bruyne, 96-rated Gómez, 94-rated Navas and many more cards with high ratings in one pack? Such content is currently the order of the day for the SBC. Accordingly, the teams are now filled with intense cards. Thus, the event also provides a good overview of how powerful the cards in FUT are now.
More than 700 cards with a value over 90
This is how strong the players were in FIFA 21: If you take a look at the current status in FIFA 21, you’ll find a total of 713 player cards that have a rating above 90 (via futbin).
Comparing this to FIFA 20, the number has actually slightly decreased: At the end, there were 771 cards that were above 90. In previous years, it looked like this:
FIFA 15: 96 players with 90+
FIFA 16: 168 players with 90+
FIFA 17: 257 players with 90+
FIFA 18: 461 players with 90+
FIFA 19: 553 players with 90+
Looking at the absolute top values, the comparison between FIFA 20 and FIFA 21 looks similar as well.
FIFA 20 had 11 cards with 99, 6 cards with 98, and 20 cards with 97
FIFA 21, on the other hand, offered 8 cards with 99, 17 cards with 98, and 16 cards with 97
Overall, it shows: There were again a lot of special cards in FIFA 21. Here, the cards below 90 are not even included.
But it’s no wonder. After all, there was a new event (or a new event section) almost every week that could bring intense special cards, in addition to the usual TOTW on Wednesday. The question is: How cool are the special cards?
Here, there is a fundamental discussion among FIFA players.
The season preparation showcases the craziest cards
Poll: How do you view special cards in FIFA – and how should FIFA 22 proceed?
In terms of realism, special cards in FIFA are not particularly helpful. After all, there are special cards that elevate completely incomparable players to the same level. For example, there are cards in FIFA 21 for players like Ben Chilwell (97), Vinicius Junior (97), or Samu Castillejo (97) that put them on a level with players like Ronaldo, Zidane, or even current players like de Bruyne. Compared to real football, this is (at least currently) pure fantasy.
A little different are performance-based cards like TOTW or Man of the Match. These cards have an anchor in real football and are therefore more realistic. At the same time, the TOTW also had the problem that it couldn’t keep up performance-wise with fantasy promos like “Freeze” or “What If” anymore.
On the other hand, the special cards provide the opportunity to elevate more players into the FIFA meta. Speed was crucial in FIFA 21 – if you didn’t have a good rating there, you were at a disadvantage. However, due to the special cards, it is possible for players who typically wouldn’t be competitive to rise into the meta. If it’s your favorite player, that’s certainly a nice thing.
However, there is also the criticism that special cards are often awarded to the same players. Just look at Joshua Kimmich, who had 8 different cards this year, or Lionel Messi, who ended up with 9. A player like Wout Weghorst, who scored 20 goals in the Bundesliga, had only three cards in total – and none of them were really meta-relevant.
We want to know: How do you see it? Should FIFA 22 follow suit and fully rely on special cards again? Or would you like to see a different approach? Participate in our poll and tell us in the comments how you see the situation.
