Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) – The best SciFi MMORPG

Developer/Publisher: BioWare/Electronic Arts | Release: December 20, 2011 | Model: Free-2-Play | Platform: PC | Download: SWTOR Homepage

What kind of game is this? Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic MMORPG set in the Star Wars universe. You play as either a supporter of the Republic or the dark Sith Empire. Since the story takes place over 1,000 years before the movies, the developers had the freedom to expand and especially reference the two popular role-playing games “Knights of the Old Republic.” This is why characters like Revan and the mysterious Sith Emperor appear.

You can play SWTOR for free and dip your toes in without worries. However, if you want to dive deeper into the game, you can unlock more features through a subscription.

What are the highlights? SWTOR is the optimal game for fans of the SciFi epic Star Wars. At its release in 2011, the fully-voiced quests and sequences were revolutionary, and one felt more like being in another Star Wars RPG than in an online role-playing game.

The many NPC companions also contribute to this, who were unique for each character class. You can interact extensively with them and even start romantic relationships.

There are also cool mini-games in the game, such as the PvP mode Huttball or a mode where you pilot spaceships and engage in epic space battles.

What are the drawbacks? The gameplay and graphics of SWTOR may have been attractive at the time of release, but now the game shows its age.

Especially the gameplay, where you aim at opponents with tab-targeting and then knock them out by mashing various skill keys, is not very dynamic. Those expecting fast lightsaber battles will find mostly static animations where you continually grind down the opponent’s health points.

Moreover, you can only play the game for free with restrictions. If you want to experience everything, you eventually have to subscribe.

Why is it particularly good for beginners? Especially if you want to experience a cool Star Wars story, SWTOR is suitable as a beginner MMORPG. The gameplay is classic for an MMORPG and you quickly learn how the game works, and the tutorials and beginner areas are particularly well-suited to introduce new players.

By the time you encounter the first group instances, you will have gained enough experience to handle them easily. Once you are deeper into the game, you can try out the numerous addons and new campaigns. Recently, there was Onslaught, in which the war between the Republic and the Empire flared up again. SWTOR will continue soon with the upcoming addon “Legacy of the Sith“. Therefore, SWTOR is worth checking out in 2021.

The GO Fest in Pokémon GO shows me how bad the GO Plus is today

In Pokémon GO, the GO Fest 2021 is currently happening. MeinMMO editor Patrick Freese is playing the event with the “GO Plus” gadget and notices that no one should really try to emulate him right now. At least not when it comes to catching.

What’s going on in Pokémon GO? Once a year, the mobile game hosts the big “GO Fest”. This year, the developers dated the event to July 17 and 18. Saturday focused on the theme of “catching” and changed the spawns of Pokémon so that many rare Pokémon appeared in the wild.

For this purpose, I activated my “GO Plus” again. This is a gadget that turns PokéStops and attempts to catch a Pokémon at the push of a button. This way, I could catch Pokémon even when I wasn’t in the mood to throw curveballs or stare at my phone. At least, that’s the theory. But the result was a huge disappointment for me.

What is the GO Plus?
It’s a drop-shaped gadget that connects to the smartphone and Pokémon GO via Bluetooth. It has exactly one button. It can light up to indicate when Pokémon or Stops are nearby. The device also vibrates. You use it to
– spin Stops to receive items
– catch Pokémon

During important events in Pokémon GO, I probably won’t catch again with the GO Plus

That was the plan: On July 17 at 10:00 AM, the GO Fest of Pokémon GO kicked off. I had been looking forward to it for weeks, as Niantic announced many Pokémon that would appear more frequently for the occasion and also bring their rare shiny forms. For me as a fan of shinies, this was perfect to stock up my collection with rare specimens.

But at the same time, I was still writing articles here at MeinMMO. I didn’t have the time to interrupt my writing every few seconds to catch Pokémon and then continue writing. That’s why I grabbed my GO Plus. All I had to do was press a button, and the device would try to catch a Pokémon for me.

Pokémon GO Plus Ring
This is what the GO Plus looks like – In red and white colors, it resembles a Pokéball. However, in a distinctly different form.

I hadn’t used the device in a while because I preferred to play the last events “myself”. But I gave the red and white plastic drop another chance. And so, I wrote an article while diligently pressing the button on the device.

This is how it turned out: When I took a short break to see how high my shiny yield was, I could hardly believe my eyes. A huge percentage of the wild Pokémon that the GO Plus tried to catch had fled. Out of the last 14 Pokémon encounters, just 10 fled. TEN!

Among them also a wild Tyranitar and the small Unown. Frustrated, I immediately disconnected my Bluetooth connection and preferred to take occasional breaks from writing, glance at my phone, and then catch an exciting Pokémon myself when available.

I didn’t want to lose any more Pokémon. It breaks my heart.

Responsible for this poor catch rate is the function of the device. While spinning stops usually works without problems, catching Pokémon is just a lackluster attempt. As a trainer, I have the choice between Poké, Great, and Ultra Balls (the Ultra Ball has the highest catch chances, while the Poké Ball has the lowest) and I can increase my catch chances with berries. The GO Plus uses only Poké Balls and no berries.

As a trainer, you usually have multiple attempts to catch. If a Pokémon breaks out, you can often try to catch the same Pokémon multiple times with new balls. The GO Plus, on the other hand, throws only once. If the Pokémon breaks out, the device gives up, and there are no further chances to catch the wild Pokémon.

Many of my friends and fellow players reported to me that the Pokémon on the first day of the GO Fest were cool, but they usually wouldn’t stay in the ball without berries. And certainly not in Poké Balls. And for that reason, the GO Plus was not much help for me.

Sure, one could argue: “If you hadn’t used the GO Plus, you would’ve missed 4 Pokémon.” Yes, I would have. However, that doesn’t justify the completely outdated state of the GO Plus.

You are asked: Do you use gadgets like the GO Plus or the Pokéball Plus and unofficial alternatives, or do you just play “yourself” and not use such extensions at all?

I’m curious about your opinion in the comments. Feel free to discuss it with other readers there. My conclusion about the GO Plus in 2021 follows here:

Conclusion: The GO Plus simply feels old and poorly made

I bought the GO Plus early after the release of Pokémon GO to test it. Back then, it cost 30 euros and worked “okay” in the game. When on the go, you could easily catch a few Pokémon without looking at your phone. It also saved battery. It was always a help for spinning PokéStops while driving, cycling, or skating. But now, 5 years after the release of the game, the gadget simply feels unloved and outdated.

The development simply stagnated. If you tell a player today, “I only throw one Poké Ball at a Pokémon – if it breaks out, I leave the battle,” you would probably get laughed at. But that’s exactly how the GO Plus works. And that’s simply poor given the current state of Pokémon GO.

When do you use the gadget then? To spin stops and collect items while on the go – that usually works without problems. In the future, I will use it at events where the Pokémon don’t matter to me. Whether they flee or not would be irrelevant to me.

8 year old MMORPG surpasses Destiny 2 on Steam, has over 60,000 players

The MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV is steadily growing on Steam and has set a new record for the second time. For a short time, it even had more players than one of the all-time favorites: FFXIV overtook the loot shooter Destiny 2.

What kind of MMORPG is it? Final Fantasy is one of the most famous role-playing game series in the world with dozens of spin-offs, and even movies. With Final Fantasy XIV, the game has had an MMORPG for eight years that regularly attracts hundreds of thousands of players.

Over the years, new content and expansions have steadily arrived. Currently, Final Fantasy XIV is in its third expansion “Shadowbringers”, but the next expansion “Endwalker” is already set to be released in November 2021.

Similar to its competitor World of Warcraft, the MMORPG from Square Enix uses a subscription model. Final Fantasy XIV can be played on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, and PS5.

After a failed launch in 2010, Final Fantasy XIV was re-released worldwide in 2013 and has been growing since then. Enough to surpass Destiny 2 on Steam. For a short period, the MMORPG had nearly 2,000 more players than the loot shooter.

This is how it looks now: The numbers for both games have fallen again as of July 18 at 1:00 PM. Final Fantasy is again about 11,000 current players behind Destiny 2 (via Steam). However, the peak numbers of the MMORPG are now almost catching up to Destiny 2.

After Final Fantasy XIV recently set a new Steam record, it has already been broken again. With 61,375 peak players, a new record was reached, only a few players short of Destiny 2 (peak: 62,223).

The current trend is upward. Final Fantasy might soon completely overtake Destiny 2 with a new peak player record and continue to catch up on Steam.

von Alexander Leitsch

Keep in mind that this is only about the numbers on Steam. Other sources like PlayStation, Xbox, or their own launchers are not taken into account.

Final Fantasy attracts thousands of new players

Where are all the players coming from? A large part of the new players is likely coming from WoW. There has been a certain dissatisfaction among parts of the community there for a while.

The biggest WoW streamer Asmongold has finally played FFXIV live on Twitch and triggered a real wave. His community followed him, attracting more players who wanted to check out Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy XIV has been so overwhelmed by new players, that it was even temporarily sold out digitally.

Whether the player numbers can hold remains to be seen. Final Fantasy and WoW differ greatly in many respects, and whether the MMORPG from Square Enix can retain the Warcraft fans in the long run is hard to say.

At least temporarily it seems to be working – Final Fantasy XIV is currently a real refuge for WoW players.

Destiny 2 makes the old Exotic a boss killer that we have wanted for months

In Destiny 2 you should definitely try the Sleeper Simulant. After its buff, this exotic is now a real boss killer. Many Guardians are still confused, but damage comparisons to other top weapons show that it is meta.

This is what this exotic is about: The exotic linear fusion rifle Sleeper Simulant has been a well-known power weapon since Destiny 1. The futuristic gun is usually called Sleeper for short and fires a devastating laser beam after charging, which pierces and can bounce off targets.

The exotic has been gathering dust in Guardians’ vaults for years. Bungie wanted to change that in Season 14:

MeinMMO is examining how strong the exotic is now in the sandbox after the update and why there is currently confusion among Guardians about the power of the power weapon?

The strength of Sleeper Simulant in Season 14 of Destiny 2

In short: The Sleeper Simulant is now a top weapon and definitely worth the exotic power slot.

Now the exotic is a proud 16.5% stronger than in the previous Season 13. The damage per shot is now indeed at the top for the Sleeper. No single weapon deals more damage when it comes to boss damage in a damage phase.

While the Sleeper got stronger, the Tale of a Dead Man received a nerf

That’s why it’s the perfect boss killer in the raid: Against powerful raid bosses, you usually only have a narrow window of time to deal burst damage as a team. Depending on the boss, that’s 20 to 30 seconds – then the boss becomes immune again, and the mechanics circus starts over, or you have defeated him. This also applies to many strike bosses at the top.

Exactly in that time, you have fired all your ammunition with the Sleeper. This is how you optimally use the short damage phase.

Important tips:

  • It is important, however, that you also have the exotic masterwork catalyst for the Sleeper. The upgrade ensures that you have a faster charge time (+75) and more ammunition as reserve (+3). Only then does the boss killer unleash its full potential.
  • Combine that whole thing in Season 14 with a grenade launcher, for example, to quickly charge with Light (“Explosion Radius” mod) and then deal 20% more damage continuously (“High-Energetic Fire” mod). On top of that, you weaken enemies for the whole team (“Breach and Clear” mod).
  • Also equip the appropriate mods on your armor: Especially linear fusion rifle loaders and more reserve ammunition for the exotic are worth their weight in gold.
  • Don’t forget the advantage that while the Sleeper deals the most damage on critical hits, it also performs significantly stronger on body shots compared to other linear fusion rifles. If you don’t hit precisely, it’s not that bad.

Why is there confusion about the buffed exotic?

How good the Sleeper Simulant is now after its buff is still somewhat confusing among Guardians.

This is partly because some bosses in Destiny 2 are no longer bosses, but actually Majors (in Lost Sectors). Thus, in some cases, incorrect or old numbers were used for DPS comparisons, which make the Sleeper look worse. On the other hand, however, some real bosses have strange multipliers that suddenly make a weapon look significantly stronger: Kali in the Last Wish takes absurdly high damage from headshots, for example.

Also, our MeinMMO reader Zuko initially did not really believe in the new power of the Sleeper. But after his own tests, he was pleasantly surprised and even made an informative video about it.

Here you can see how the damage of the Sleeper Simulant compares to other top weapons in the power slot:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3tUcz5PXEk

Damage compared to other top exotics

We are referring here to the current results from Season 14, found out by TheRealZukosan in the video above. Every exotic was tested, only with reload mods and maximum reserves (as well as a catalyst, if available).

ExoticDamage (Shot)Time
Sleeper Simulant1,064,976 (16 shots)26 sec
Xenophage754,698 (34 shots)29 sec
Whisper of the Worm868,940 (23 shots)*27 sec
One Thousand Voices596,384 (8 shots)20 sec
Eyes of Tomorrow813,780 (10 shots)
+65,000 **
36 sec
*Whisper with White Nail **Extra damage from each Adaptive Round

Can it get even better? Yes, but you’ll need more than one weapon. In Season 14, nothing in Destiny 2 surpasses the combo of Anarchy and slug shotguns. Some Guardians take this to the extreme: First 2 shots with the Anarchy exotic, then with two slug shotguns that alternately harass the boss – as soon as the Anarchy charges stop dealing tick damage, the next grenade comes.

But combinations of Witherhoard and another weapon can also make damage soar and are sometimes much more comfortable to play with than the Sleeper. Many Guardians also forgo maximum damage and instead use more comfortable weapons like Xenophage, which is perfectly fine.

Another option that makes bosses melt is to first empty a strong weapon with high DPS and little ammunition in a short time and then give the boss the rest with a super – here the Titan with the Harnisch der Sternschnuppe is a good choice. And you should always carry another exotic weapon with you:

von Philipp Hansen

Have you already dusted off the Sleeper Simulant since its buff and taken it on an outing? Can you confirm that the old exotic is now a real boss killer, or are you using completely different guns? Let us know in the comments.

The currently most popular and strongest power weapon, which appears in all strategies of Season 14, will soon get nerfed: Destiny 2 will soon nerf one of the best exotics – enjoy the weapon as long as you can

Ubisoft delays two important titles again – Rainbow Six not until 2022

In two updates, developer and publisher Ubisoft revealed that the cooperative shooter Rainbow Six: Extraction and the extreme sports MMO Riders Republic have been delayed. The original releases have been postponed, with Extraction being moved to next year.

What kind of games are these? Riders Republic is a new approach to MMOs, where 50 players engage in extreme sports together. In various disciplines such as skateboarding or paragliding, you compete against other players.

Rainbow Six: Extraction is a cooperative shooter and a spin-off of the popular tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege. Together with other players, you try to stop an alien infection.

A variety of characters from Siege are available with special abilities that you must use as a team to navigate through the levels. Extraction is a spin-off of the “Outbreak” event mode from Siege and expands it with new features like “Missing in Action,” which means operators lost in battle must be rescued again.

When will Extraction and Riders Republic be released? Both games were actually supposed to be released in September 2021 but have now been postponed:

  • Riders Republic is now coming on October 28, 2021
  • Rainbow Six: Extraction will not be released until January 2022

Extraction shows new operator first, we postponed the next day

Why the delay? Ubisoft does not provide reasons for why both games are being released later. Interestingly, a new operator, Vigil, was even shown for Extraction just one day before the delay:

However, the video received relatively little appreciation but much criticism in the comments over the operator’s ability. In Siege, Vigil can disrupt enemy cameras, becoming invisible to technology.

In Extraction, he also has this ability but can hide from the alien life forms. Some users took issue with the fact that he can suddenly “hack” biological life forms.

Ubisoft has already announced that the extra time will be used to properly polish both games. It is therefore quite possible that some of the criticism led to the postponement of Riders Republic and Rainbow Six: Extraction in order to further improve them.

At least for Extraction, this is not the first delay. The game was actually supposed to be released under the name Quarantine back in early 2020, but was postponed due to two flops.

Apparently, Ubisoft wants to do everything right with Extraction from the start and not have to polish it later, as was the case with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. Extraction can take some cues from the “big brother” Siege to ensure a successful release:

I say: The new Rainbow Six: Extraction needs 3 things from Siege to be really good

Many MMORPGs struggle with the summer slump – But one is exploding in player numbers

During the week of July 12 to 18, the summer lull in MMORPGs was clearly felt. The only exception is Final Fantasy XIV, which is currently experiencing a boom. We at MeinMMO have summarized all the news.

The highlights of the week: While EVE Online is currently struggling with the lowest player numbers in 15 years and other new MMORPGs like Swords of Legends Online start with rather low hype, an old MMORPG is currently enjoying great popularity:

The controversy of the week: A leaker has unauthorizedly uploaded 8 hours of gameplay from the Alpha of New World. The gameplay, however, evokes mixed reactions.

The discussion of the week: Last week, Crowfall was released, but only a few were interested in the launch. However, some players are now reporting that they do not find Crowfall so bad. What are your experiences with the game?

7 peaceful survival games that do without PvP – For Steam, PlayStation and Xbox

Survival games are known for their appeal and the thrill that anything and anyone can kill you. But sometimes you just want to enjoy the game. MeinMMO presents 7 titles in the genre where you can play peacefully.

What does “peaceful” mean here? The struggle for survival is at the core of every survival game – this excitement is what makes the genre. So you won’t find purely pacifistic games like Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing here, but you will have to fight from time to time.

However, we mark how intense the survival and combat aspect is in each game. When selecting, we made sure to present games where fighting against other players plays no role or is not even possible.

It is important that other players cannot destroy anything or “grief” you in any of the games. In the peaceful survival games shown here, the focus is on taking your time and exploring everything at your own pace.

[toc]

What kind of games can I find here? We have selected a range of survival games, including both single-player and co-op titles for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. The only important thing is that they can do without PvP and do not force you to defend yourself against other players.

What you won’t find here is a top list of the best games, but a selection of recommended games based on the author’s personal assessment. If you’re instead looking for a larger selection, you can find the 25 best survival games of 2021 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC here on MeinMMO.

Benedict from MeinMMO

About the author: Benedict has been working at MeinMMO since the end of 2017 and is our survival expert. His first contact with the genre was with Stranded (2003), which fascinated him completely. Survival has been in his blood for more than half his life.

His most played modern survival titles include Fallout 76 and Conan Exiles, in which he has probably invested around 600 hours together. He also enjoys trying out new titles and indie games in the genre to look for hidden gems and insider tips. He especially values a beautiful environment where exploration is rewarding and a refined crafting system.

1. Raft

Developer: Redbeet Interactive | Platform: PC | Release: May 23, 2018 | Players: Solo or Co-op | Combat/Action: low to medium

What is Raft? In Raft, you play alone or with friends on a raft of the same name. Instead of building a base and exploring the world from there, you explore the world with your base.

You continually expand the raft with debris you fish from the sea or with resources you find while diving or on islands. Your most important tool is a hook on a rope, which you cast out to pull floating objects to you.

Your raft becomes larger and over time turns into a real floating city with houses, crafting stations, and even gardens. The comic style and bright environment give the whole game a friendly, playful atmosphere.

How peaceful is Raft? Raft does not put you under pressure in combat, but the story can become quite dangerous. During the story quests, you encounter mysterious places that tell a story and might occasionally unleash a bear on you. A hungry shark is also a threat to your raft – but not one that constantly puts you under pressure.

Exploration and the collective building of your raft are clearly in the foreground. The story islands also tell a great story about life on the vast, endless sea.

How hard is survival? Even though Raft mainly focuses on exploration, you must pay attention to food and water, which are not always easy to come by due to your situation on a raft. When you die, what happens depends on the difficulty:

  • Peaceful/Easy: You respawn without penalties.
  • Normal: Respawn and lose your items or get revived by friends.
  • Hard Mode: Friends must pick you up and carry you to a bed.

2. Subnautica

Developer: Unknown Worlds | Platform: PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch | Release: January 23, 2018 | Players: Single player | Combat/Action: low

What is Subnautica? After a crash landing on an alien ocean planet, you must somehow survive in the completely alien environment. The goal is to get everything running again and escape the planet.

In the process, you explore the underwater areas and with the “Below Zero” DLC even frozen lakes and ice biomes in search of resources. You will encounter unknown and alien creatures in the picturesque world on your journeys.

How peaceful is Subnautica? Basically, you don’t have to fight in Subnautica. You will occasionally encounter more dangerous deep-sea inhabitants, but you generally flee from them rather than confront them.

Subnautica focuses fully on the beautiful world and detailed backdrop – so much so that it is now known for its environments and considered one of the most beautiful games ever.

The trailer for Subnautica: Below Zero.

How hard is survival? Especially at the beginning, it can be a bit challenging to get used to the mechanics and build the right tools for underwater exploration. However, you will quickly come across necessary resources. Just always watch your oxygen – that is the most important thing for survival in Subnautica.

3. Stranded Deep

Developer: Beam Team | Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S | Release: January 23, 2015 | Players: Solo or Co-op in split-screen (PC only) | Combat/Action: low to medium

What is Stranded Deep? Your plane crashes and you find yourself alone on a deserted island in the Pacific – the classic “Robinson Crusoe” experience in modern guise. This is exactly the story that Stranded Deep is based on.

You must find your way on the island, find water and food, and somehow survive with whatever you have on hand. Vehicles and skills are also available.

Build yourself a small house in the middle of the ocean and make the best of what you have – who wouldn’t want an island in the middle of the Pacific all to themselves?

How peaceful is Stranded Deep? You will primarily be busy chopping down palm trees, sipping coconuts, and building tools and huts from found wood and stone. Still, the island is dangerous.

You will eventually have to hunt to survive, and as you venture deeper into the island or the sea, predators wait there that want to harm you. The further you go, the more you will have to fight.

There are even boss fights in Stranded Deep, so you will have to fight for one of the core features. While you could also just drift along, you would likely miss an important part of the game.

The trailer for Stranded Deep.

How hard is survival? In addition to hunger, thirst, and health, you also have to pay attention to overheating in Stranded Deep. Since an island in the Pacific isn’t equipped with air conditioning, sunburn is a real danger. So survival is already a challenge – but also the core of the game.

4. Wolf Quest

Developer: eduweb | Platform: PC (Steam) | Release: July 26, 2019 | Players: Solo or Co-op | Combat/Action: low to medium

What is Wolf Quest? In Wolf Quest, as the name suggests, you play as a wolf in Yellowstone National Park – either alone, in public games, or privately with friends. You start as a young gray wolf, exploring the world, maturing, and eventually founding your own pack.

Throughout your life, you constantly improve your hunting skills and find new friends and even mates for breeding. And yes, there are cute little wolf pups frolicking around you.

How peaceful is Wolf Quest? The game mainly revolves around exploring the natural environment and serves to get to know the wildlife of wolves. However, this natural life also includes hunting.

Consequently, as a wolf, you rely on hunting and killing prey, as it is your main food source. At the same time, you must contend with other predators like bears and cougars and be careful not to get torn apart in the territories of other packs.

The trailer for Wolf Quest – Featuring: The Amethyst Mountain.

How hard is survival? Wolf Quest uses a realistic model, which makes it difficult to assess how hard survival really is. The law of the stronger applies: The superior wins the fight. A mistake can mean your death.

If you want a particularly tough challenge, you can play in “Iron Wolf” mode: as soon as you die, the game is over.

3 strong weapons in CoD Warzone that you should definitely play in Mid-Season 4

The mid-season update of Call of Duty: Warzone brought a plethora of changes to weapons. Many important weapons have been nerfed and the average time-to-kill has increased significantly. MeinMMO shows you 3 weapons that you can’t go wrong with shortly after the update.

Mid-Season 4 has significantly disrupted the weapon meta of Call of Duty: Warzone. Many nerfs, a few buffs, changes in recoil – over 40 weapons have been adjusted and many have new base values for damage.

Which weapons will prevail with this new meta remains to be seen. However, initial analyses show trends, and MeinMMO presents 3 weapons that are definitely strong enough to be part of the new meta in Warzone. In the list, you’ll find the assault rifle Krig 6, the MP5 from CoD MW, and the LMG RPD – all with verified setups.

Assault Rifle: Krig 6 – If you don’t want to miss the shots

What makes the Krig 6 strong? The assault rifle was already a strong choice before the update. With the numerous nerfs to high-range automatic weapons, the Krig has moved even further forward. It even received a slight buff and now inflicts more damage at range. However, the true strength of the Krig lies not in its damage potential but in its handling. This thing is incredibly stable and allows you to easily land hits.

Warzone Krig 6 Setup

  • Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
  • Barrel: 15″ CMV, Military
  • Optic: Axial Arms 3x
  • Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
  • Ammunition: STANAG 60-Round
cod warzone meta candidate after mid season 4 krig 6 setup

Submachine Gun: MP5 from CoD MW – Passed the update unscathed

What makes the MP5 from CoD MW strong? Like the Krig, the MP5 from CoD MW has always been a strong choice in Warzone. However, due to engaged competitors like the MP5 from Cold War and the MAC-10, the MP5 from CoD MW has flown somewhat under the radar. With nerfs to the strong competitors, the release MP from Modern Warfare is back on top, offering you a strong time-to-kill of nearly 500 milliseconds up to 10 meters and is very controllable.

Warzone MP5 from CoD MW Setup

  • Barrel: Monolithic Suppressor (integrated)
  • Laser: 5mW Laser
  • Stock: FTAC Foldable
  • Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
  • Ammunition: 45-Round Mag
cod warzone meta candidate after mid season 4 mp5 from cod mw setup

Light Machine Guns: RPD – Forgets recoil after a few shots

What makes the RPD strong? If you are a fan of LMGs, now could be the hour of the RPD. The popular Stoner 63 has suffered a bit in the update, and the RPD is asserting itself due to its strong handling. The time-to-kill is decent, although affected by an open-bolt delay. The special feature of the RPD is its light recoil – once you fire a few rounds from the barrel, the weapon hardly recoils anymore. If you stay in sustained fire, enemies at very long distances are also not a problem.

  • Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
  • Barrel: 20.3″ Special Forces
  • Optic: Axial Arms 3x
  • Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip
  • Ammunition: 120-Round Fast Reload Mag
cod warzone meta candidate after mid season 4 rpd setup

Most of the important automatic weapons are weaker with Mid-Season 4, but no firearm has been “broken patched”. You can still rely on the FARA, clean up with the C58, or bring back old classics from CoD MW.

Which weapons, however, will settle at the top of the tier lists remains to be seen. We will keep you updated on MeinMMO and will adjust our list with the best weapons in Warzone accordingly.

Player leaks secret military documents because a tank in a Free2Play MMO is not realistic enough

A particularly ambitious player wanted to add a bit more realism to his favorite tank in War Thunder. However, he did so in a questionable manner: by showing official military documents. This could lead to up to 14 years in prison.

What happened?

  • War Thunder is known for its realistic depiction of military vehicles such as tanks and airplanes – The British Challenger 2 is one of these tanks.
  • One player seemed to find that lacking and submitted suggestions for improvement.
  • He supported these suggestions with official documents from the British military, which he claimed were declassified.
  • The Defense Minister stated that the information shown is still classified, and dissemination could lead to up to 14 years in prison.

What kind of documents are they? In the official War Thunder forum, a player named “Tidworth” leaked documents from a sort of user manual of the British military. According to his own statements, he is a tank commander in Tidworth, the base of the Royal Tank Regiment, where the Challenger 2s are stationed.

There were supposed to be images showing what the Challenger 2 looks like, with technical specifications and more. Most of the document is said to have been redacted or deleted.

It also supposedly had a “Declassified” stamp. The label “UK Restricted” was reportedly crossed out. This was also reported by the British United Kingdom Defense Journal (via ukdefencejournal.org.uk).

Some users in the forum said that nothing could be seen on the cover page except for the name “Challenger 2”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve0JnYqHybs
This is what the Challenger 2 looks like in action in War Thunder.

Player leaks documents, dissemination could lead to prison

Why did the player do that? Allegedly, the Challenger 2 in War Thunder is not realistic enough. To make his point clear, the user supposedly uploaded the images from the military documents.

Apparently, he wanted to show what improvements needed to be made to the tank model in the game and why. He seems to be a very passionate player who desperately wanted to see his favorite tank as authentically as possible.

Moderators in the forum promptly deleted the posts and noted that they need information about their source – and that they are actually publicly available. Because apparently, they were not.

What penalties are threatened? A moderator reports that they have spoken with the British Defense Minister (via forum.warthunder.com). According to him, the documents are still classified, and he does not recognize the markings for declassification.

Typically, the dissemination of such documents leads to prosecution, and there can be penalties of up to 14 years in prison for it. The moderators therefore urge not to upload such documents again. Whether “Tidworth” will face legal consequences is still uncertain.

Apparently, War Thunder frequently has issues with players showing classified material, as there has supposedly already been a “last time”. This is probably the fate of realistic simulations.

If you enjoy realistic shooters and military simulations, check out Hell Let Loose. The hyper-realistic World War shooter is doing great on Steam – just maybe better not leak any materials from the Bundeswehr.

The best thing about new updates in Destiny 2 is the ridiculous comments

However, not all Guardians have such a sense of humor. Many really complain, even if things are being moved by the update that could just as well be done 15 minutes later, without any disadvantages:

I was just about to get the Splicer title. I’m 10 decrypted data away from my first title with the last upgrade for gloves. And now this? I’m really upset

Via Twitter

A patch always comes too early and too late

In the German-speaking area, these patches usually hit in the evening and take down the servers between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Maintenance often takes longer. When everything runs smoothly again from 11 PM, we go to bed annoyed and have to postpone our planned outing as Guardians to another time.

When does the horror come? Traditionally, Tuesday, the weekly reset day, is ruined. But Thursdays and, if it really nasty shows up on Fridays, are also often sabotaged by Bungie’s sneaky update orgies.

When it’s 7:00 PM for us, it’s 10:00 AM for the developers at Bungie near Seattle. They have just finished their first coffee and have nothing better to do than mess with Europeans across the ocean – typical Americans.

On MeinMMO, the Titan warns readers about updates

That’s why it’s always inappropriate: But you can hardly believe it, the updates annoy not only us Europeans. Even in the land of freedom, the patches rob you of the freedom to play Destiny when you want. Guardians all over the globe complain that they were kicked from the game at the most inappropriate moments by the update.

  • You were in the raid, almost had your Vex Mythoclast? Update!
  • Just on a 5 win streak in competitive PvP? Update!
  • According to insider reports, even Guardians who are just chilling in the Tower and give Bungie no reason to kick them are affected. Still: Update!

With updates in Destiny 2, it’s like with wizards in “The Lord of the Rings”… only reversed: An update always comes too late, Guardian, as well as always too early. It hits exactly when no one wants it. (The original Gandalf quote from the movie can be found here on Kino.de)

Let’s get down to business

Of course, I write this with a wink and know that gaming time is scarce and how frustrating a patch can be at the wrong moment.

When you finally manage to gather the whole crew for a raid, planning for days, and then bam, such an update comes and ruins your plans. Even if the maintenance itself is only short, the wisdom applies to many: never play on patch day. Because no one wants continuous messages like “contact Destiny servers” and error code “Weasel”.

Sometimes it’s not so easy to gather the whole crew

The initial frustration is understandable. But you can never please everyone. Even if we often feel attacked during our prime time, the updates are always inconvenient for all Guardians worldwide. One must also consider that Bungie needs someone to oversee the maintenance. That cannot happen at times when the devs are sleeping at headquarters.

Have you ever been surprised by a patch at the worst possible moment? What achievement was ruined for you? What is your general opinion on Bungie’s update policy? Would you prefer to receive only major updates 1-2 times per season, or should even the smallest things be fixed quickly and you take maintenance times more often? Let us know in the comments.

But wait, other Guardians are hit even harder by the updates. Those who thought working 2,000 hours a minute and still finding time for Destiny was crazy should take a look at time mage Deroni76:

https://twitter.com/Deroni776/status/1415717831342280710

The diligent Guardian has 17 jobs and only 2.7 seconds a week to play Destiny. Although he is only a father of 8 children, he is a single parent. Such dedication also impresses our first Guardian, Jale Stevenson, who now takes him as a role model. That was just a snippet, but that’s how it is lately with every update article. Thanks for that.

However, not all Guardians have such a sense of humor. Many really complain, even if things are being moved by the update that could just as well be done 15 minutes later, without any disadvantages:

I was just about to get the Splicer title. I’m 10 decrypted data away from my first title with the last upgrade for gloves. And now this? I’m really upset

A patch always comes too early and too late

In the German-speaking area, these patches usually hit in the evening and take down the servers between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Maintenance often takes longer. When everything runs smoothly again from 11 PM, we go to bed annoyed and have to postpone our planned outing as Guardians to another time.

When does the horror come? Traditionally, Tuesday, the weekly reset day, is ruined. But Thursdays and, if it really nasty shows up on Fridays, are also often sabotaged by Bungie’s sneaky update orgies.

When it’s 7:00 PM for us, it’s 10:00 AM for the developers at Bungie near Seattle. They have just finished their first coffee and have nothing better to do than mess with Europeans across the ocean – typical Americans.

On MeinMMO, the Titan warns readers about updates

That’s why it’s always inappropriate: But you can hardly believe it, the updates annoy not only us Europeans. Even in the land of freedom, the patches rob you of the freedom to play Destiny when you want. Guardians all over the globe complain that they were kicked from the game at the most inappropriate moments by the update.

  • You were in the raid, almost had your Vex Mythoclast? Update!
  • Just on a 5 win streak in competitive PvP? Update!
  • According to insider reports, even Guardians who are just chilling in the Tower and give Bungie no reason to kick them are affected. Still: Update!

With updates in Destiny 2, it’s like with wizards in “The Lord of the Rings”… only reversed: An update always comes too late, Guardian, as well as always too early. It hits exactly when no one wants it. (The original Gandalf quote from the movie can be found here on Kino.de)

Let’s get down to business

Of course, I write this with a wink and know that gaming time is scarce and how frustrating a patch can be at the wrong moment.

When you finally manage to gather the whole crew for a raid, planning for days, and then bam, such an update comes and ruins your plans. Even if the maintenance itself is only short, the wisdom applies to many: never play on patch day. Because no one wants continuous messages like “contact Destiny servers” and error code “Weasel”.

Sometimes it’s not so easy to gather the whole crew

The initial frustration is understandable. But you can never please everyone. Even if we often feel attacked during our prime time, the updates are always inconvenient for all Guardians worldwide. One must also consider that Bungie needs someone to oversee the maintenance. That cannot happen at times when the devs are sleeping at headquarters.

Have you ever been surprised by a patch at the worst possible moment? What achievement was ruined for you? What is your general opinion on Bungie’s update policy? Would you prefer to receive only major updates 1-2 times per season, or should even the smallest things be fixed quickly and you take maintenance times more often? Let us know in the comments.

Such dead serious comments really sweeten the update articles for me. And it’s not just me laughing, because such posts regularly get the most upvotes.

This is how Guardians react: It gets really funny when other users take it for face value. One might read in response that Bungie announced the update, and the 14-time father should calm down. When Jale Stevenson then ironically says that Bungie should orient itself to his personal life, this meets with incomprehension.

But wait, other Guardians are hit even harder by the updates. Those who thought working 2,000 hours a minute and still finding time for Destiny was crazy should take a look at time mage Deroni76:

https://twitter.com/Deroni776/status/1415717831342280710

The diligent Guardian has 17 jobs and only 2.7 seconds a week to play Destiny. Although he is only a father of 8 children, he is a single parent. Such dedication also impresses our first Guardian, Jale Stevenson, who now takes him as a role model. That was just a snippet, but that’s how it is lately with every update article. Thanks for that.

A patch always comes too early and too late

In the German-speaking area, these patches usually hit in the evening and take down the servers between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Maintenance often takes longer. When everything runs smoothly again from 11 PM, we go to bed annoyed and have to postpone our planned outing as Guardians to another time.

When does the horror come? Traditionally, Tuesday, the weekly reset day, is ruined. But Thursdays and, if it really nasty shows up on Fridays, are also often sabotaged by Bungie’s sneaky update orgies.

When it’s 7:00 PM for us, it’s 10:00 AM for the developers at Bungie near Seattle. They have just finished their first coffee and have nothing better to do than mess with Europeans across the ocean – typical Americans.

On MeinMMO, the Titan warns readers about updates

That’s why it’s always inappropriate: But you can hardly believe it, the updates annoy not only us Europeans. Even in the land of freedom, the patches rob you of the freedom to play Destiny when you want. Guardians all over the globe complain that they were kicked from the game at the most inappropriate moments by the update.

  • You were in the raid, almost had your Vex Mythoclast? Update!
  • Just on a 5 win streak in competitive PvP? Update!
  • According to insider reports, even Guardians who are just chilling in the Tower and give Bungie no reason to kick them are affected. Still: Update!

With updates in Destiny 2, it’s like with wizards in “The Lord of the Rings”… only reversed: An update always comes too late, Guardian, as well as always too early. It hits exactly when no one wants it. (The original Gandalf quote from the movie can be found here on Kino.de)

Let’s get down to business

Of course, I write this with a wink and know that gaming time is scarce and how frustrating a patch can be at the wrong moment.

When you finally manage to gather the whole crew for a raid, planning for days, and then bam, such an update comes and ruins your plans. Even if the maintenance itself is only short, the wisdom applies to many: never play on patch day. Because no one wants continuous messages like “contact Destiny servers” and error code “Weasel”.

Sometimes it’s not so easy to gather the whole crew

The initial frustration is understandable. But you can never please everyone. Even if we often feel attacked during our prime time, the updates are always inconvenient for all Guardians worldwide. One must also consider that Bungie needs someone to oversee the maintenance. That cannot happen at times when the devs are sleeping at headquarters.

Have you ever been surprised by a patch at the worst possible moment? What achievement was ruined for you? What is your general opinion on Bungie’s update policy? Would you prefer to receive only major updates 1-2 times per season, or should even the smallest things be fixed quickly and you take maintenance times more often? Let us know in the comments.

Such dead serious comments really sweeten the update articles for me. And it’s not just me laughing, because such posts regularly get the most upvotes.

This is how Guardians react: It gets really funny when other users take it for face value. One might read in response that Bungie announced the update, and the 14-time father should calm down. When Jale Stevenson then ironically says that Bungie should orient itself to his personal life, this meets with incomprehension.

But wait, other Guardians are hit even harder by the updates. Those who thought working 2,000 hours a minute and still finding time for Destiny was crazy should take a look at time mage Deroni76:

The diligent Guardian has 17 jobs and only 2.7 seconds a week to play Destiny. Although he is only a father of 8 children, he is a single parent.

Destiny 2 regularly frustrates players with its updates. Our MeinMMO author Philipp Hansen finds it amusing when a 14-time father works 2,000 hours a minute and in just 2.7 seconds of gaming, a patch ruins everything. You can read about what’s so funny in this very serious opinion.

Guardians hate updates: Destiny 2 is a live-service game and is regularly supplied with content and updates. Well, new content doesn’t arrive as regularly as the smaller patches that come in about 1-2 times a month. When such an update arrives, it always comes at an inconvenient time – that’s a given.

It’s especially annoying when the update only fixes 3 tiny things that personally don’t bother you at all. Yes, you, Hotfix 3.2.1.1 from July 15 should feel addressed. But updates are much meaner than you think.

That’s why update articles are the funniest articles for me

To avoid getting surprised too much by the updates and taking a critical hit from behind, we at MeinMMO always accompany patch days with an article that lists all times and changes, and we update the whole thing multiple times. Recently, these have been the funniest articles for me to write.

That makes me laugh: It’s part of my job to click through Bungie’s Twitter posts – you don’t want to miss an extended server maintenance. The comments there make me tear up from laughter:

The Guardian Jale Stevenson writes dead serious: “I’m so fed up with this game. I was about to finish a solo flawless raid run and was just about to take down Atheon when I got kicked. Bungie, I have 14 kids and work 2,000 hours a minute. That was my only free time. Dead game.”

Jalen Stevenson is, of course, poking fun at all the comments that usually accumulate under such an update post on Twitter:

  • Destiny 2 is dead, why update?
  • You can’t play Destiny 2 when you want (the dead Destiny 2, mind you).
  • I was about to complete the wildest achievement of my Guardian life when the servers went down.
  • I’m really busy, have little time, and the update comes with deadly precision right when I have a free minute.

The initial frustration is understandable. But you can never please everyone. Even if we often feel attacked during our prime time, the updates are always inconvenient for all Guardians worldwide. One must also consider that Bungie needs someone to oversee the maintenance. That cannot happen at times when the devs are sleeping at headquarters.

Such dead serious comments really sweeten the update articles for me. And it’s not just me laughing, because such posts regularly get the most upvotes.

This is how Guardians react: It gets really funny when other users take it for face value. One might read in response that Bungie announced the update, and the 14-time father should calm down. When Jale Stevenson then ironically says that Bungie should orient itself to his personal life, this meets with incomprehension.

But wait, other Guardians are hit even harder by the updates. Those who thought working 2,000 hours a minute and still finding time for Destiny was crazy should take a look at time mage Deroni76:

The diligent Guardian has 17 jobs and only 2.7 seconds a week to play Destiny. Although he is only a father of 8 children, he is a single parent. Such dedication also impresses our first Guardian, Jale Stevenson, who now takes him as a role model. That was just a snippet, but that’s how it is lately with every update article. Thanks for that.

However, not all Guardians have such a sense of humor. Many really complain, even if things are being moved by the update that could just as well be done 15 minutes later, without any disadvantages:

I was just about to get the Splicer title. I’m 10 decrypted data away from my first title with the last upgrade for gloves. And now this? I’m really upset

A patch always comes too early and too late

In the German-speaking area, these patches usually hit in the evening and take down the servers between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Maintenance often takes longer. When everything runs smoothly again from 11 PM, we go to bed annoyed and have to postpone our planned outing as Guardians to another time.

When does the horror come? Traditionally, Tuesday, the weekly reset day, is ruined. But Thursdays and, if it really nasty shows up on Fridays, are also often sabotaged by Bungie’s sneaky update orgies.

When it’s 7:00 PM for us, it’s 10:00 AM for the developers at Bungie near Seattle. They have just finished their first coffee and have nothing better to do than mess with Europeans across the ocean – typical Americans.

On MeinMMO, the Titan warns readers about updates

That’s why it’s always inappropriate: But you can hardly believe it, the updates annoy not only us Europeans. Even in the land of freedom, the patches rob you of the freedom to play Destiny when you want. Guardians all over the globe complain that they were kicked from the game at the most inappropriate moments by the update.

  • You were in the raid, almost had your Vex Mythoclast? Update!
  • Just on a 5 win streak in competitive PvP? Update!
  • According to insider reports, even Guardians who are just chilling in the Tower and give Bungie no reason to kick them are affected. Still: Update!

With updates in Destiny 2, it’s like with wizards in “The Lord of the Rings”… only reversed: An update always comes too late, Guardian, as well as always too early. It hits exactly when no one wants it. (The original Gandalf quote from the movie can be found here on Kino.de)

Let’s get down to business

Of course, I write this with a wink and know that gaming time is scarce and how frustrating a patch can be at the wrong moment.

When you finally manage to gather the whole crew for a raid, planning for days, and then bam, such an update comes and ruins your plans. Even if the maintenance itself is only short, the wisdom applies to many: never play on patch day. Because no one wants continuous messages like “contact Destiny servers” and error code “Weasel”.

Sometimes it’s not so easy to gather the whole crew

The initial frustration is understandable. But you can never please everyone. Even if we often feel attacked during our prime time, the updates are always inconvenient for all Guardians worldwide. One must also consider that Bungie needs someone to oversee the maintenance. That cannot happen at times when the devs are sleeping at headquarters.

Have you ever been surprised by a patch at the worst possible moment? What achievement was ruined for you? What is your general opinion on Bungie’s update policy? Would you prefer to receive only major updates 1-2 times per season, or should even the smallest things be fixed quickly and you take maintenance times more often? Let us know in the comments.

Demon hunters in WoW are annoyed by a bug that identifies them as cheaters

Demon Hunters often experience a disconnect in World of Warcraft. There is a reason for this, and it is likely due to an anti-cheat protection.

It’s quite normal for MMORPGs as large as World of Warcraft to have bugs. However, it becomes frustrating when the errors restrict gameplay so severely that players are repeatedly thrown out of the game. Demon Hunters can sing a song about this – especially since they should preferably avoid using flight paths?

What is the problem? Demon Hunters are currently plagued by a disconnect bug. While this is nothing unusual for Demon Hunters, it has become particularly severe since Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination. Whenever they use a flight path in Shadowlands and land somewhere, there is a high probability that the player will immediately experience a disconnect and be disconnected from the game.

The absurd part: Even if one stands afk at the flight point for a few minutes after the flight ends, a disconnect can be triggered as soon as they move.

What causes this? Apparently, there is a system in place that is supposed to detect cheaters and speedhack users. When WoW registers that a character is moving faster than should be possible in the current state, the system kicks in and disconnects the player from the game.

WoW Demon Hunter Eyebeam title 1140x445
Demon Hunters suffer from disconnects – a feature of the hero class.

Many who have teleport abilities, such as a Mage’s Blink or Night Fae form, have likely experienced something very similar. When one “unluckily” teleports with these abilities, WoW registers it as if the character is in a location that should actually be inaccessible – which also results in a disconnect. In particularly severe cases, players might even have to use a support function to reset their character to a “safe” location.

Is there a workaround? Yes, at least in many cases. To avoid disconnecting after landing, it can be beneficial to mount up before moving. In this case, it seems WoW “updates” the allowed movement speed, and then does not trigger a disconnect.

This, of course, isn’t possible if the flight point is in a location where mounts are not allowed – such as in the Bastion of the Venthyr. There, for now, it seems one must just endure the disconnect gritting their teeth.

Many are affected, but hardly anyone knew it: It only became clear that many Demon Hunters were suffering from this issue when it was raised in the WoW subreddit. Most thought they were individual cases or that something was wrong with their WoW client.

Thai360 comments:

Damn, and I was wondering why this only happens to me. Good to know it’s just Blizzard doing Blizzard things.

Smojar presents a similar solution to the problem:

This also happened to me on my Demon Hunter, and I think it’s related to being on a mount while clicking a teleport or flight point. I’ve gotten into the habit of always dismounting before I fly, and since then I haven’t had any disconnects. I’m not 100% sure that’s the reason, but it’s fixed it for me.

Sickoe00 explains the situation for the Venthyr:

Landing in the Sinfall is a guaranteed disconnect.

Have you also suffered from this bug? Or do “real classes” that you play have no issues with it?

Demon Hunters are also among our 3 best classes for beginners and returnees.

Pokémon GO: Trainers are complaining about problems with snapshot quest – Here is how to solve them

In Pokémon GO the task “Take a snapshot” is currently causing problems at GO Fest 2021. But Niantic shows the solution if the task is not credited after the photo.

What is it about? As part of the special research with Meloetta, you should solve various tasks, including the task “Take a snapshot”. However, this quest is simply not recognized as “completed” by some trainers. The reason is that it does not work when catching new Pokémon.

This is the solution: Niantic’s support explains on Twitter that this task can be completed by taking a snapshot of a Pokémon that is already in your collection (via Twitter.com). So it does not work during an encounter with a wild Pokémon that you still need to catch.

Where does the confusion come from?

Until now: The task of taking a snapshot in Pokémon GO is not new. On the contrary, it has been part of some past researches. It was always the case that you only received credit for the snapshot if you took it of a Pokémon that you had already caught.

That was probably the problem: On Twitter, user SpacePokémonDevon asks under Niantic’s explanation (via Twitter.com): “I … I thought people would know that by now?” However, the responses to the tweet show where the confusion of some trainers comes from and why Niantic clearly explained how to complete the task.

In the past weeks, there have been tasks at events in Pokémon GO that required taking snapshots of wild Pokémon. The change of the task from “wild Pokémon” to “Pokémon” seems to have been a trigger of the confusion.

However, some players explain on Twitter that they still have problems with the snapshot task “Take a snapshot” and cannot explain what the issue is. As soon as there is a response from Niantic, we will update the article for you.

Find out about more problems and solutions, changes, and announcements from Niantic in our live ticker for GO Fest 2021 in Pokémon GO. We will keep you updated throughout the event and beyond, showing you which bonuses are active next and which content you should definitely keep an eye on.

The Steam servers are overloaded because too many people want a new console

Valve has presented its own console, the Steam Deck. After pre-orders started, even Steam’s servers, which are usually quite stable, could not hold up. Apparently, the console is already more popular than expected, even though it might not come until next year.

This is the situation:

  • Valve recently introduced the Steam Deck, a new handheld console.
  • The Steam Deck starts at €419 – Valve CEO Gabe Newell calls the price “painful”.
  • Pre-orders have been open since Friday, July 16, at 19:00 CEST.
  • So many gamers wanted to pre-order the console that Steam could not process the requests and threw out numerous error messages.

What kind of console is this? The Steam Deck is a handheld console that represents something like a portable PC. At 720p, you should be able to play games that natively run on Linux or can be run there via “Proton”.

Some players refer to the Steam Deck as the “real” Nintendo Switch Pro. In terms of design, the new console indeed resembles the Switch. You have a display in the middle with controls on the right and left.

The delivery is expected to begin in December 2021, and orders should be possible from the first quarter of 2022. Pre-orders or reservations are now already possible. In our hub, you will find all important information about the Steam Deck summarized.

This is what the new console looks like.

Reservations overwhelm Steam servers

What happened? After the pre-orders opened on July 16 at 19:00, many players apparently tried to secure a copy. This led to numerous error messages (via Polygon.com).

Both the official Steam website and the app had potential buyers facing issues completing their orders. Often, an “unexpected error” occurred, which prevented the purchase from being finalized.

Those who tried too often were even met with an error message, stating that they had “attempted too many purchases in the last few hours” and should please wait a bit. Particularly bizarre is an error message stating that some users had too young an account, even though they claimed to have been on Steam for well over 15 years:

In other cases, there were errors indicating that the order may have “succeeded” (via Twitter.com). In these cases, buyers were left in the dark about whether they had actually managed to purchase a Steam Deck or not. Sometimes, there was also just a vague: “Something went wrong”.

What is the current situation? As of Saturday, July 17 at 15:00, the servers are still “busy”. Pre-ordering is currently not possible (via steampowered.com). We cannot say if and when you can pre-order a Steam Deck again.

Update: Occasionally, it seems to work. Around 15:15, we were able to place a reservation. If you want to pre-order a Steam Deck, you should just try your luck several times.

Steam is not known for weak servers. Nevertheless, they were overwhelmed by the requests. The price of the Steam Deck has not deterred buyers either: a standard version costs €419, while the most expensive variant is priced at €679.

Valve CEO Gabe Newell calls the price “painful”, but the performance and hardware have been the focus from the beginning. The Steam Deck is apparently intended to establish itself in the long term. How long it will hold up remains to be seen, as Newell already has the future of hardware in mind:

Fallout 76 promises ‘significant feature’ – Will private worlds come for everyone?

In a new blog post, the developers of Fallout 76 promised a “significant new feature” for the upcoming update. They haven’t revealed exactly what it will be yet, but there are already hints.

What new feature is coming? In the latest “Inside the Vault”, the developers talk about the future of Fallout 76 (via Bethesda.net). There are two limited-time events and also a mysterious message.

For the next major update, the devs are planning a “significant new feature” but do not disclose what it is. We at MeinMMO suspect: it will be private worlds for everyone, at no additional cost.

How likely is that? The blog post states that the feature allows players to experience Fallout 76 “in even more diverse ways” and that the “next major update” is aimed for September. This update would be the Fall Update “Worlds Are Changing”. The roadmap for Fallout 76 has two major features planned for the update:

  • the “next level of private worlds”
  • expansion for daily operations

Since the release of Fallout 76, players have been asking to play in private worlds. Other survival games often offer such services through dedicated servers that can be rented from third parties.

Fallout 76 Roadmap 2021
The Fall Update is expected to bring “the next level of private worlds”.

Private worlds are currently only available in the paid Fallout 1st subscription, which has been controversially discussed. However, since many players want to experience Appalachia alone – like a “real Fallout” – private worlds for everyone would be a step towards fulfilling the community’s wish.

As Fallout 76 now has plenty of NPCs with their own stories and even factions for you to work for, the MMO increasingly resembles the classic Fallout games. This also suggests that single-player fans could be re-engaged with solo worlds.

von Andreas Bertits

Private Worlds for Everyone? Roadmap Indicates This

What else is possible? The NPCs in the game are another point of consideration for a new feature. Traditionally, Fallout games have factions for which you can complete quests – or that you can eliminate as a player.

The choices have an impact on the story and the ending; in some cases, two factions even exclude each other, so player experiences can differ significantly.

Fallout 76 now hastwo factions where you can earn reputation: Raiders and Settlers. Additionally, the Steel Brotherhood is in the game but is not yet “farmable”. Other largely unused factions include the Responders and the Enclave. There’s plenty of room to give players choices.

On the Fallout 76 reddit, little discussion is happening about the potential feature. A few players joke that it will be new skins for rarely used weapons (via reddit.com). However, players are currently much more concerned about fixing issues like server lags, crashes, and exploits.

When will there be more information? Soon, more details will be explained regarding what new feature is being announced. You will also have the opportunity to play the feature on the test server in advance and provide feedback.

The test server will reopen its doors in July, and you can join it on PC. If you don’t want to wait or would like to explore further in the genre, you can find in our list the currently best survival games for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Farming Korthite Crystals in WoW – How to do it best

Korthite crystals are important for legendary items in World of Warcraft. We will explain how you can farm them best.

Sooner or later, all current players of World of Warcraft will face Korthite crystals. Some of them are just sitting in the inventory, while others are panicking to find them in order to upgrade their legendary items. We will show you how to quickly gather a lot of Korthite crystals and what they are actually for.

What are Korthite crystals? A new resource that is of interest to anyone who wants to upgrade their legendary items to rank 5 or 6. Korthite crystals (Korthite Crystal) can be obtained in many different ways when playing new content from patch 9.1. A total of 40 are needed for a single upgrade – so farming can take a while. Therefore, it is worthwhile to exhaust as many sources of crystals as possible.

Where can you find Korthite crystals?

There are numerous ways to obtain Korthite crystals. We will present the most important ones here.

Daily Quests: In Korthia, you are offered 3-5 daily quests every day. Some of them can reward Korthite crystals, 1-2 depending on the quest. However, that depends on chance. The rewards can even differ from character to character. Your main character might receive a quest that rewards Anima, while a second character might receive Korthite crystals as a reward.

Treasures in Korthia: Korthia is full of treasures, and many of them respawn every day. Especially chests of the Mawbound, bone piles, and relic chests can be looted every day and have a low chance of containing Korthite crystals.

Mushrooms and nests can also be looted every day, but do not contain Korthite crystals.

WoW Tragekorb fuer abgerichtete Gromits trans
The little Gromit can help a lot – in case you often overlook something.

A tip: Not all treasures in Korthia will be shown on your minimap. Often, there are bone piles, relic chests, and other small treasures that you actually have to “see” to find them. The item “Trained Gromit Carrier” helps with this – it summons a little Gromit that points you to treasures and shows you exactly where to find them. This way, you won’t miss anything anymore. You can buy the Gromit early from Archivist Roh-Suir in the Korthia camp.

Chests in the Rift: In addition to the “normal” chests and treasures you can find in Korthia, there is another dimensional layer – the Rift. Every day, 4 chests appear in changing locations that you can loot. They contain Stygia, relics for the archivist, sometimes transmog, and with an increased chance, Korthite crystals.

WoW Rissgebundene Kiste Korthia
In the Rift, there are 4 chests every day – but the positions change. You will see them on the minimap when you are nearby.

Whether a chest contains a crystal seems to be random. However, the chance is certainly increased there, as multiple players report having drawn a crystal from each of the four chests. Additionally, the chests can also contain the quest starter item “Supplies of the Deathwing Assault” each week. The quest can additionally reward 0-2 crystals upon turn-in!

You can reliably access the Rift once you have reached reputation level 4 with the Archivist. Then you can buy unlimited access to the Rift and always search for treasures there whenever you feel like it.

The chests will be shown on your minimap when you are nearby. An addon like “Handy Notes” with the Shadowlands add-on can help to see possible spawn points for the chests in advance.

Attack in the Maw: Every 3-4 days (always on Saturdays and Wednesdays), the faction that is attacking the Maw changes. This almost always corresponds with four quests and a “meta-quest” that continues once you have completed the other four missions. At the end, a chest from the respective faction rewards you with a Korthite crystal. Thus, you can obtain up to 2 crystals per week from this source.

Even more crystals via Twinks: Korthite crystals have a big advantage – they are not soulbound. This means you can also gather the coveted crystals with second and third characters. You can then send the crystals to your main character and thus reach the required 40 Korthite crystals faster. Here, having multiple high-level characters is actually worthwhile.

Farming takes too much time and the crystals are too expensive! In that case, there’s probably only one thing to do: wait. The price of Korthite crystals will surely decrease in the coming weeks and months as most players upgrade their legendary items. Through weekly attacks in the Maw and the weekly on Korthia, Korthite crystals should always flow in abundance, so more and more of them will flood the auction house in the future.

Have you gathered your 40 Korthite crystals yet? Or are you selling them diligently in the auction house and making a fortune?

Dead by Daylight: You will never have this much luck in the game

Some players in Dead by Daylight have more luck than sense. But you probably won’t experience such a situation ever again.

At its core, the asymmetrical game Dead by Daylight is quite tactical, relying on the skills of individual players. However, there are indeed several factors that depend on luck or chance. A clip now shows how outrageously lucky one can be in the Dead by Daylight subreddit.

What happened? QueenLivCat played as Jane against the Cannibal in Dead by Daylight, and the round was going anything but well. One survivor had already left the game due to a disconnect, another had died on the hook, while the last team member was also in the final seconds of the sacrifice phase. QueenLivCat was already on the ground, facing her fate of dying as well.

Since only 2 out of 5 generators were repaired, it can be said that the round was rather unfavorable for the survivors.

However, QueenLivCat doesn’t give up and does the only thing she can: She tries to free herself from the hook and succeeds immediately. Better yet, at the moment of self-rescue, the hatch appears right beneath Jane, allowing her to escape with a click. No chance for the killer.

At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the Reddit content

What does this have to do with luck? That QueenLivCat’s endeavor works is quite unlikely and requires a strong chain of luck, chance, and a little “mistake” from the killer. Because:

  • Freeing yourself from the hook has only a 4% chance of success. In most cases, you fail and lose only a part of your health bar.
  • The hatch can appear in several dozen positions on the map. Standing directly above it is virtually impossible.
  • The fact that QueenLivCat was even allowed to try to free herself from the hook is due to the remaining survivor being in the death animation of the hook at that moment. If the person had already been fully sacrificed, there would have been no rescue attempts – the killer would only have had to wait a few seconds.

Community reacts enthusiastically: Accordingly, the community in the Dead by Daylight subreddit is also enthusiastically celebrating this clip. Comments include:

  • “The thought that in hundreds of millions of matches in this game, this exact scenario has probably happened less than 1000 times is quite impressive.”
  • “I would be very sad if I were the killer.”
  • “You’ve used up all your remaining luck for 2021.”
  • “The game was trying to make you angry by spawning the hatch right under you, but it couldn’t have foreseen that your luck is ‘over 9000’.”

Have you ever had this much luck skill in Dead by Daylight? Or are these legendary moments that only other players have?
