Farming World Tiers in Outriders – How to Quickly Get Better Loot

Tarek Zehrer 16. April 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

The 15 World Tiers of Outriders not only affect the difficulty of the game, but they also influence your loot yield. MeinMMO shows you how to farm and level them up effectively.

This is how the World Tiers work: There are a total of 15 different tiers. These tiers affect the overall difficulty of the game. The higher you rise, the greater the challenge.

At the same time, there are also some advantages waiting for you. The likelihood of better loot increases with each tier. Additionally, there is a reward for each unlocked rank. At World Tier 12, there is even one of three legendary weapons that you can definitely obtain.

You can find what rewards you unlock and what exactly each tier brings in our overview: How the 15 World Tiers work that make Outriders really challenging

In this guide, we present you with a few methods on how to farm and level up World Tiers while progressing toward the endgame.

How to level World Tiers and where you can do it

How to level your World Tier? The principle is simple: Kill enemies. This not only increases your character level but also the World Tiers.

Below your normal EXP display, you will find a second level bar showing your progress in the World Tiers.
However, you can also lose EXP for your World Tier if you bite the dust.
This automatically balances the difficulty for you.
If you’re making good progress, you will gradually go up one tier at a time.
If you die too often, you will stay at the respective tier until you improve or find better equipment.

If you want to increase your World Tier, you should find places in the game where you can eliminate as many easy enemies as possible without putting yourself in too much danger. MeinMMO presents you with some locations where this works particularly well.

Keep in mind that these are just examples. Outriders offers numerous options for farming loot and World Tiers. Here, it also depends on your preferences and own approach.

In this guide, we have chosen a particularly simple and early available method, but also one that is unlocked later in the game during the campaign and may be a bit more difficult.

Chapter 2 – Main Mission: “Reach the Other Riverbank”

Select the story point “Reach the Other Riverbank” in Chapter 2, which takes you to the First City. During this section, you will encounter numerous enemies that are easy to kill.

You will not encounter strong elite or boss enemies that make things difficult. So carve your way through the hordes until you get to the end and then start all over again.

Pros

Plenty of enemies that are easy to kill
No difficult elite or boss enemies
Available early in the game

Cons

Since there are no elite enemies, this spot doesn’t yield much loot.

Forest Enclave – Side Mission: “Hunted and Hunter”

You will find the side mission in the forest, not far from an intermediary camp called “Crystal Camp”. Like all the other missions, this one can also be repeated if you have already completed it.

Compared to the previous method, the difficulty level here is higher. You will face several waves of enemies, including a boss fight.

This method is not only lucrative for leveling the World Tier, but you should also find some useful loot.

Pros

More lucrative due to the boss fight, especially if you want to farm loot alongside it.
Efficient way to level the World Tier and equip yourself at the same time

Cons

Higher difficulty

Hunting Missions

Hunting missions are generally among the best sources of loot before the endgame. This also applies to experience points.

Some are quite easy to complete, and the rewards come in the form of epic items. There’s even a trick to speed up farming.

If you play a hunting mission and kill the beast at the end, you should not complete the mission normally. Instead, return to the point where you accepted the mission and cancel it. Now you simply restart it, and the game starts all over again.

Which hunting mission is the best? During the storyline, you will come to the quarry. There, at the camp “Gate to the Outpost”, you will find the hunting mission “Bigjaw”. Here, you have virtually no travel times.

It gets even easier. After you’ve killed everything, return to the lobby. This has the same effect, but there’s a catch: To level up in World Tier, you need to leave the fight. However, if you return to the lobby, that doesn’t happen. Thus, you cannot level up; your EXP bar simply remains filled.

The best way is therefore a combination of both. As long as you still need experience points, return to the lobby after killing the beast. Once your EXP bar is full, complete the mission as described above.

What do you think of the methods? Do you have any other methods for farming World Tiers? Feel free to share them with us in the comments.

Recently, there was another patch in Outriders. Update 1.06 aims to prevent the notorious inventory bug: Outriders brings new update, should finally save the broken inventory

New pistol is exaggeratedly strong in CoD Warzone – Here’s how to get it

Maik Schneider 16. April 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

Call of Duty: Warzone has a new pistol – Sykov. The handgun has a barrel with fully automatic fire and can hold up to 80 rounds in the magazine. MeinMMO shows you how to unlock it, which setup to use, and why it’s directly OP.

Update May 27: The Sykov has been nerfed twice and does less damage with the combo of magazine drum, Akimbo, and auto barrel, and has significantly less mobility. The damage remains severe, but handling is now much worse.

The Sykov has been in the game for a long time but is now available as a full weapon in Call of Duty: Warzone. Until now, you could get it through the Survival mode of Modern Warfare and try it out there. From the start, the pistol gave the impression that it was too powerful for Battle Royale. This is mainly due to:

The fully automatic barrel with a high rate of fire
The massive 80-round drum
The Sykov as Akimbo with 2 weapons in hand

Now it is in the game, and according to the first reactions, the analysts are right: The Sykov is exaggeratedly strong, has an incredibly low time-to-kill potential, and is now definitely the best secondary weapon in the game. MeinMMO shows you a setup, value comparison, and how to get the gun.

CoD Warzone: Unlocking Sykov

How do I get the weapon? You need to complete a challenge in the game: Kill 4 enemies with pistols in 5 different matches.

The fastest way to do this is in the multiplayer mode of Modern Warfare. The weapon is still part of the old CoD and cannot be unlocked or used in Cold War. If you only play the free2play Warzone, start a Plunder match for this. Grab a pistol and go hunting.

However, keep in mind that you should always finish the matches. If you get your kills and then leave the match early, there is a risk that your progress will not be counted.

You can do it faster with a purchasable bundle in the cash shop. For 2,400 CoD Points, you can get the “Sparks Operator Bundle” for the Sykov release in the shop. The blueprint for the pistol already has the barrel for fully automatic fire. However, you still need to unlock the weapon the regular way to unlock all attachments.

Problems with unlocking the weapon and Akimbo: According to player reports, there are difficulties in the progress registration of the weapon. Some issues have already been resolved by the developers (via Twitter), but unlocking Akimbo still has problems. A suggested solution is to use the Sykov with the perk “More Coins” to unlock the Akimbo modification instead of another pistol.

Why is the Sykov exaggeratedly strong?

The time-to-kill of the new pistol is absolutely top-notch. Once you have unlocked the automatic barrel (Sorokin 140mm Auto), this thing can even compete with the large primary weapons, and as Akimbo version, you can take down your enemies without having to shove them in the trash first.

Here is the TTK comparison for chest hits with the popular FFAR 1:

The automatic Sykov comes very close to the TTK value of the FFAR, and as an Akimbo variant, it simply outperforms all automatics in the game. The numbers:

FFAR TTK: 467 milliseconds
Sykov Auto TTK: 482 milliseconds
Sykov Auto Akimbo TTK: 241 milliseconds

With the Akimbo variant, you cannot aim down sights anymore and lose some precision, and as full-auto, you do not get extra damage on headshots. But even if half of your shots go astray, you are still on par with the FFAR. Plus, there are the huge monster magazines that hold up to 80 rounds per weapon. So together, you have 160 bullets at your disposal.

And the Sykov is just a pistol. You can pack it as a secondary weapon in your loadout and still bring the strong perk “Ghost”. While the recoil is quite significant, it is negligible compared to the weapon’s advantages. We will also include a short gameplay clip featuring the Sykov:

CoD Warzone: Sykov Setup for vicious close-combat mayhem

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolith)
Barrel: Sorokin 140mm Auto
Laser: 5mW Laser
Ammunition: 80-round drum
Perk: Akimbo

If the Sykov remains in its current state, it is likely to become one of the best close-combat weapons in Warzone. Along with the new sniper, ZRG 20mm, which is considered the new best long-range sniper, two new meta weapons have now been introduced within a short period. The new Season 3 is also starting soon, with further balance changes expected and at least 2 new shooting weapons anticipated.

There is considerable movement in the weapon gameplay of the Battle Royale, and the meta carousel is starting to turn. Check MeineMMO regularly to stay up to date.

Why you have to fear the bows in Fortnite now

Eilyn Rapp 16. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there have been a few changes, mainly concerning weapon balance. The bows now seem to be quite powerful. We will show you why you should fear the bows.

This is what is happening in Fortnite: The start of Season 6 brought some new weapons into the game and now you can even craft prehistoric weapons yourself. However, apparently Epic was not completely satisfied with the weapon balance yet, because they made some changes and buffs to a few guns. Already with Update 16.10 some weapons were adjusted.

Now, it seems that mainly the bows have benefited from a buff after Epic made the adjustments. Are they now too strong?

Bows are stronger than before

This change has been made to the bows: The bows in Fortnite now deal more damage than before and the shot speed has been increased. According to data miner FireMonkey, the base damage on a headshot is multiplied by 2.5X – previously it was 2.0X (via Twitter). This is how it affects the bows:

Makeshift Bow: previously 104 damage / now 130 damage
Prehistoric Bow: previously 130 damage / now 162.5 damage
Mechanical Bow: previously 170 damage / now 212.5 damage

The Makeshift Bow can be transformed into a Prehistoric or Mechanical Bow with the appropriate materials. You can benefit from the higher damage immediately. With a Mechanical Bow, you can now take out an opponent with a headshot, even if they have full health and shield.

Especially the Mechanical Bow becomes dangerous with this change, as it can kill you with a single shot. Additionally, you can further upgrade the Prehistoric Bow and the Mechanical Bow with materials, like crafting a Stink Bow from the prehistoric version – so you not only have high damage, but also additional aspects that make them even harder to counter.

Epic brings further changes to weapon balance

What other changes has Fortnite made? In a tweet, Fortnite Status announced that they have made a few changes to the game (via Twitter). These changes mainly affect the weapons in the game. Here’s what is different now:

The amount of crafting materials has been doubled – you will find them more frequently
Improvement in assault rifle and revolver accuracy
Increased damage on bow headshots and speed
Recycler trash bombs now fly faster
Prehistoric Pistol: Damage and fire rate increased
Improvements for all submachine guns
Spawn rate of common weapons, prehistoric weapons, and makeshift weapons has been evenly distributed

If you want powerful weapons but don’t want to craft extensively, you should look for special chests. These guarantee you good weapons without much effort. However, since they are not easy to find, we will show you our guide on the locations of the bunker chests on the map.

What do you think about these changes? Were they necessary or are the bows now too strong?

LoL introduces new champion Gwen, reminds players of “the old Irelia”

Patrick Freese 16. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

For League of Legends (LoL), the new champion Gwen has been announced. Armed with a large pair of scissors, she storms the map and is supposed to function primarily in the top lane. Players compare her playstyle to Irelia..

What’s new? Developer Riot Game presents Gwen, the gifted seamstress, in the new spotlight. She was originally a small doll that was then brought to life. The large scissors that she fights with come from her creator.

LoL introduces Gwen as a champion for the top lane. She masters abilities for CC, can reduce incoming damage, and hit multiple opponents simultaneously in AOE.

Gwen’s abilities in the spotlight

Here we briefly introduce the abilities that Gwen masters in LoL:

Passive “Thousand Cuts”: Attacks and certain abilities attempt damage that is dependent on the maximum health of the opponent. If she hits an opponent, she receives a portion of the damage dealt as health back.

Q “Snip-Snap”: In a cone in front of you, you deal damage to all hit enemies with two snips. The last snip deals more damage. Enemies in the center of the cone take true damage, and the passive ability “Thousand Cuts” applies.

For every normal attack you hit, Q collects up to four additional charges. If you use Q when you have charges, these will be used to execute additional snips during the attack.

W “Hallowed Mist”: Summons a mist field around Gwen that grants increased armor and magic resistance. Opponents from outside cannot target Gwen in it. If opponents are in the mist, they can target Gwen. Towers always hit them.

After placing it, you can use W again to reposition the mist. If Gwen walks out of the mist, it is automatically repositioned once.

E “Scissors Jump”: Enhances Gwen’s attacks for a few seconds upon usage. These attacks have increased range, speed, and damage.

R (Ultimate ability) “Needlework”: When you use the ability for the first time, you fire a needle that slows the hit opponent and deals damage. If you hit with an attack or ability shortly after, you can reuse the ultimate. This can happen up to 3 times. Each time, the attack fires more needles and deals more damage.

Additionally, all hit opponents are marked with “Thousand Cuts”.

The new champion is introduced to you in the League of Legends YouTube video:

Where will Gwen be played? From her kit, Gwen is well-suited for the top lane. With her shield and slows, she can effectively protect herself against ganks. Due to her passive ability, she gains sustain so she doesn’t have to teleport back to heal as often. Whether this will remain her only role will still be seen.

What players say about the presentation

This comparison comes up: In the comments on YouTube and also on reddit, players feel reminded of Irelia. Irelia has been in League of Legends since 2010 and was considered a solid pick in the top lane for many years.

On reddit, user tyler980908 writes, “[her kit] feels very old school League”. User Slashari emphasizes that it’s like “the old Irelia”.

Especially Gwen’s ultimate ability makes players nostalgic. Irelia used to hurl her blades at opponents with her ultimate. This somewhat resembles Gwen’s thrown needles. Additionally, the slowing effects and playing on the top lane. Irelia has since been reworked, which is why the emphasis is on the “old” Irelia.

How do you like Gwen’s introduction? Is this a champion you want to play in LoL? And if so, in the top lane or do you have other ideas on how to use her as a jungler? Let us know your opinion here in the comments on MeinMMO.

Twitch rogue is suddenly very well-behaved in GTA 5 – Asks fans to be nice too

Schuhmann 16. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel is allowed to play again on the popular “No Pixel” server in GTA 5 and apparently wants to do everything differently this time than before his ban. Instead of exploding immediately when something goes wrong, he is now keeping his cool.

Why is xQc considered a Twitch villain? The 25-year-old Canadian is a talented player, but his temperament often gets in the way: he is a pretty bad loser. As soon as things don’t go well and he is frustrated in any way, he gets extremely upset, becomes snappy, and loses control. Afterwards, he often feels sorry for it:

As an eSports player, it early ruined his career. His team in Overwatch, Dallas Fuel, suspended him multiple times and ultimately kicked him out in 2018, after the league had temporarily suspended him for the second time. He was accused of making “anti-gay comments”. xQc said back then: he was just a child of the Twitch chat, which practically raised him.
As a streamer, fans love it when xQc loses control and goes all out. In recent months, xQc has become the most popular streamer on Twitch: he has particularly great success with role-playing projects like those in Rust or GTA 5. As everyone was playing nicely together in Rust, xQc showed up with his “Team Rocket” and decided to engage in PvP. His fans enjoy being on the side of the “bad boy” who doesn’t follow any rules. A true outlaw, indeed.

xQc just has never been good at losing

It was like this all the time: In GTA “No Pixel” some streamers play as police officers, some as burger flippers and xQc, of course, as a criminal.

Every time xQc felt like he was suffering some injustice in GTA 5, he became snappy again, got extremely upset about the streamers embodying the cops, and was on the verge of a rampage.

So he has already been banned from the “No Pixel” server in GTA 5 three times:

Once he shot two cops from his prison cell with a smuggled weapon.
Last time, at the beginning of April, he had heated up his fans with his flames so much that they went off and pressured the developers of the server in their streams.

This is now different: The last ban from No Pixel apparently hit xQc hard. He anticipated being permanently banned and never being allowed to be the villain on No Pixel again.

This seems to have affected him and made him rethink.

In a new stream, he actually experienced a clearly recognizable injustice. xQc was robbing a bank when a cop caught him and immediately emptied his submachine gun on him. There was no role-play involved – a real cop would obviously never behave like that.

The “old” xQc would have immediately freaked out and flamed hard, inciting his fans and staging an uprising. The new xQc, however, just flinches slightly, pulls himself together, and emphasizes that he will not say anything.

Afterwards, he urged his fans to “stay calm” and not go into the other’s chat and get upset over others.

“I lost – Who cares?”

He suffered a defeat. That’s okay! That happens all the time. He actually said he didn’t care while his pulse rose from 120 to 140.

It will be interesting to see how long the new “It’s just a game” attitude lasts for the hothead xQc.

This change in mindset comes perhaps also because the ban from “No Pixel” has pretty much killed his mood and his run on Twitch:

Streamer loses place 1 on Twitch because he is too toxic even for GTA 5.

ESO Mother Tears: Where can I find the popular set and how strong is it?

Andreas Bertits 16. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

Farming sets is a part of the experience for many players of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). We present to you the popular set Mother’s Sorrow.

What do sets do in ESO? Sets grant you bonuses depending on how many and which items you possess and use from them. This works essentially like in other MMORPGs.

It is important to search for complete sets to receive the full bonus. These sets then affect your build. Depending on which direction you develop your character in ESO, you search for suitable item sets.

A good set for Magicka builds

What is Mother’s Sorrow? The set is considered light armor and is particularly suitable for new players who want to try out DPS Magicka builds. The set is often worn by Magicka Templars. It is popular, among other things, because it improves with passive skills that increase your critical damage.

You receive the following bonuses depending on how many items of the set you wear:

2 items of the set – Grants 1,096 maximum Magicka
3 items of the set – Grants 657 critical Magic hits
4 items of the set – Grants 657 critical Magic hits
5 items of the set – Grants 1,528 critical Magic hits

As a weapon, you should acquire a fire staff with the “Infused” trait, but “Precise” works as well.

There are certainly better-suited individual builds than Mother’s Sorrow, yet it is worth farming the items. They can be sold very well and thus bring you plenty of gold.

Where can you find Mother’s Sorrow? The set is a so-called zone drop, a regional set. This means you can only find it in a specific area of the game world. That area is Deshaan in southern Morrowind. If you are out there, you can find the set from bosses, in dungeons, in the open world, and in chests.

Items for waist and feet are obtained from bosses and in vaults in Three Ways Mine, Lady Llarels’ Hideout, Blade’s Ear Cave, Corpse Garden, Taleon’s Cliff, Underbhanuall
Items for head, torso, legs, and weapons drop from bosses visible on the map of Deshaan, including Druitularg’s Ritual Altar, Grove of Abomination, Caravan Mound, Short Horns Hillock, Mabrigash Burial Circle, Devastated Thorn Patch
Items for shoulders, hands, and weapons drop from bosses in the public dungeon “The Forgotten Crypts”
Rings and necklaces can be found in chests in Deshaan, including chests that appear in the zone as well as those that appear after completing a dark anchor or at the dolmens of Earth Scent, Lagomere, and Siltreen.

You can also buy the Mother’s Sorrow items, including the fire staff (infused) as a weapon, but it can cost you a lot of money.

The set possesses the Argonian style, which fits thematically very well with the upcoming ESO expansion Blackwood. After all, you are there at the border between Cyrodiil and Black Marsh and encounter many Argonians. However, you should not just farm the set to look good. The stats are crucial and whether it fits your build.

Which sets do you prefer in the MMORPG ESO? Let us know in the comments.

Builds also play an important role in ESO’s PvP. However, the community is debating one question: Does ESO neglect PvP?

MMORPG Swords of Legends receives healer class that summons a fairy for assistance

Alexander Leitsch 16. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Swords of Legends Online is getting 6 different classes at launch here in the West. In this article, we from MeinMMO will introduce you to the Summoner and we have once again received exclusive gameplay material.

What kind of class is this? The Summoner offers you two different skill paths that you can freely switch between outside of combat:

With Fury of Nature, you specialize in ranged DPS. You use nature to summon spirits that you can then unleash on your enemies. Additionally, you work with various companions, such as a fox-like creature or the Goldfeather, a bird. Alongside these summons, there are also various nature spells that you can use.
With Nüwa’s Blessing, your Summoner transforms into a healer. Here too, the spiritual energy of nature plays an important role. In addition to classic healing spells, there is the healing fairy Molou that you can summon. This one also has abilities that support your allies.

You can watch how these abilities look in combat in this YouTube video. The gameplay has been exclusively provided to us by the western publisher Gameforge:

The Story of the Summoner: As the abilities already suggest, Summoners live in harmony with nature. The Summoners belong to a clan of the goddess Nüwa, who stayed in the world to spread her word.

However, not only the Summoners pray, but also travelers from all over the world worship the goddess, who in turn sees the Sky Mountain Ridge in the game as a kind of pilgrimage site. The priests who greet you there are the Summoners.

New MMORPG Appeals to Story and Theme Park Fans

Who should take a look at Swords of Legends Online? This is an MMORPG for players who want to experience a traditional Chinese story and are eager for PvE, quests, dungeons, and raids.

I personally have already played Swords of Legends Online in Taiwanese and was particularly impressed by the gameplay and the visuals. A little highlight is also that you can fly through the world while standing on a sword.

WoW: New item reveals that Sylvanas is becoming more like the greatest villain

Benedict Grothaus 16. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

The upcoming patch 9.1 for World of Warcraft is already playable on the public test realm. The bag list for the new raid is already found on the PTR, in which Sylvanas Windrunner is the final boss. Among her loot, there is a trinket that alludes to a famous scene from BfA and hides a dark secret.

What is this item? It is the trinket “Old Warrior’s Soul”. This strength trinket increases the bearer’s attack speed in combat and allows them to heal injured allies in battle at the cost of their own health points.

The soul drops from Sylvanas Windrunner in the Sanctum of Domination, the new raid in the upcoming patch 9.1. However, it is not just any trinket, but also a clue to the past.

What does this soul mean? The icon of the soul shows the head of an Orc. This, along with the name, suggests a famous character whose soul Sylvanas is carrying: Highlord Saurfang.

This is also indicated by the fact that Saurfang received a cinematic titled Old Warrior in BfA. Sylvanas and Saurfang faced off in a duel at the end of the Battle for Azeroth, from which the banshee emerged victorious:

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 YouTube content

Together, this means that Sylvanas has apparently stolen Saurfang’s soul to use it for herself – Just like Arthas, who imprisoned Sylvanas’s own soul in his runeblade Frostmourne back then. Arthas is considered the greatest villain in WoW history.

As early as 2018, there were hints that Sylvanas is becoming more like Arthas. The soul of an old warrior that she carries seems to confirm this even further.

Good or Evil? The Discussion Around Sylvanas

This could also mean for the soul: It is not entirely certain that Sylvanas has actually enslaved Saurfang’s soul and is using it for herself. Some players speculate that she simply holds onto the soul “like a keepsake” (via wowhead).

Since all souls have been going to the Maw since the machinery of death was disrupted in Shadowlands, Saurfang would have faced a terrible fate there. It is possible that Sylvanas rescued the soul in a moment of kindness and is now keeping it safe so it does not fall into the hands of the Jailer.

Signs of a change had already appeared before in a cinematic showing a “good” Sylvanas. Certainty will likely only come in patch 9.1.

Either way, some players are now tired of Sylvanas and her eternal schemes. They fear that Blizzard will continue to spin her story and she will never face justice for her crimes.

Although she serves as the final boss in the Sanctum of Domination, many players are sure that she will not receive her just punishment there, but will undergo some kind of redemption:

Some WoW players are already mocking the new patch 9.1, showing no interest in it

Ludwig makes $1.3 million with Twitch stream: “I’ll never do something like that again”

Schuhmann 16. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The streamer Ludwig Ahgren was on air for 31 days with a marathon stream. With the Twitch stream, he earned over 1.3 million US dollars, and his channel grew by about one million new followers. Nevertheless, he says: He will never do such a marathon stream again.

This was the stream: The marathon stream by Ludwig started in mid-March and extended by a few seconds with each subscription. The stream was originally intended to last only for 24 or a maximum of 48 hours. However, it was doing so well that it would have never ended naturally, even though it was always very close.

The stream ended on Tuesday, April 13, only because Ludwig eventually introduced a “hard limit” and said: After 31 days, it would definitely be over. And indeed, the stream was kept alive by fans for the full 31 days with subscriptions.

In the end, the stream was an event that viewers proudly said: “I was there when Twitch history was made.”

Ludwig watched Ninja and Drake 3 years ago and wanted to do “something cool” like that

This is the marathon stream in numbers:

Ludwig’s stream was on air for a total of 726 hours, during which he got his 8 hours of sleep each day and had 3 meals. He emphasized this. He even says he “never trained more regularly” than in the last month.
He earned approximately 1.32 million US dollars during this time, according to fan estimates, and gained nearly a million followers on Twitch, as the statistics show. This significantly increased the reach of his channel: Ludwig’s Twitch channel grew from about 1.5 million to now 2.67 million followers.
In the last days of the stream, he surpassed xQc and was the most viewed streamer on Twitch, clearly number one.
Ludwig gained over 230,000 new subs (paid subscriptions). This even allowed him to break the Twitch record set by Ninja in 2018. Breaking this record was Ludwig’s stated goal. He said: When he saw Ninja and Drake with big eyes 3 years ago, he wanted to do something cool like them.

How am I supposed to top something that happened magically?

Will he do something like this again? The Twitch streamer makes it clear that there will never be another marathon stream like this with him.

“The reason I will never do something like this again is simple. It’s the same reason why you shouldn’t make a sequel to a movie like Hangover. The sequel will never be as good as the original.
How the hell am I supposed to top something that happened magically, just like that – where a 24-hour stream suddenly lasts a month and breaks records? Should I just say, I’ll do the same thing again? Screw that!”
Ludwig Ahgren

The winners of the stream are mods, the tax office, and Twitch

How much did Ludwig end up earning from the stream? Ludwig earned about 1.3 million US dollars before all deductions, as his fans have meticulously documented in a tracker:

A large portion of the money goes to Twitch, which takes 35% of the subscriptions. Ludwig is annoyed that he is still under an “old contract” that guarantees such a high percentage to Twitch. Now, with a new better status, he could possibly reduce Twitch’s share further.
The tax office hits hard. Since Ludwig lives in California, higher taxes apply to him – which makes the tax office happy. They also had reason to celebrate during the Fortnite tournament in 2019.
$167,000 goes to the mod team that managed his stream. The money is shared among 17 moderators. For one mod, the stream was a big relief: he can finally pay his credit card bill that he has been carrying for years.

https://twitter.com/BBarb/status/1381782602336636932

$10,000 goes to Ludwig’s roommate, Slime, who has temporarily managed the stream.
You need to subtract $52,000; that money went into subscriptions that Ludwig treated himself to keep the stream alive.
A hefty $233,000 goes to charity – for each subscription that came in on the last day, Ludwig donated $5 to a children’s hospital or an animal protection project. Ludwig is into charity: he once spent $43,000 to play for an hour with Shroud.

After all deductions, Ludwig will be left with about $248,420 from the $1.3 million in revenue, his fans calculated. That’s still a strong hourly wage of $342 per hour – about 4 times what a doctor earns on average per hour in the USA.

He could have made even more money with the stream. However, Ludwig temporarily stopped the hype:

Streamer gets rich through Twitch – now bans viewers who spend too much money.

MMORPG player reaches max level with baking cakes – takes 8 months

Andreas Bertits 16. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

A player of the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online (LotRO) has reached the maximum level 130 by baking cakes. The community celebrates him as a true hobbit (Source cover image: Moviepilot, Pixabay).

How did the player reach the maximum level? In the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online, you also gain experience points when you craft. So if you basically just create items, you can also become a high-level hero this way. It is not even necessary to explore the world and defeat monsters.

The LotRO fan Cookingwithsim Pie-Runner apparently set out to become the best baker in Middle-earth and therefore simply baked cakes. By doing so, he gained so much EXP that he even reached the maximum level of 130.

With Cake to Maximum Level in LotRO

How long did it take him? The player stood at the oven for eight months. Cake after cake provided him with the necessary experience points to level up.

Players from near and far flocked to his oven to watch him level up and reach level 130. The players were fascinated that he could get so far and is basically not a fighter at all. This shows how role-playing-oriented the community is.

How does the community react to this achievement? Cookingwithsim Pie-Runner is celebrated as a hero. The player embodies a hobbit and does this people proud with his achievement. After all, hobbits in the novels of J.R.R. Tolkien are known to love to eat and also cook and bake well. A hobbit who reaches maximum level in the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online just by baking fits perfectly into this world.

We summarize a few voices from the community for you:

JmBento writes (via reddit): “I think Tolkien would have been even happier if a player had reached this level by telling stories…”
Illier1 asked in amazement (via reddit): “What on earth did he do with all those cakes?”
wearallhumans has the answer (via reddit): “He is a hobbit. Next question?”
starsheep99 sums it up (via reddit): “Now that’s what I call a hobbit move.”
offenburg slightly twists the subtitle of Tolkien’s novel The Hobbit (via reddit): “To the oven and back again. The story of a hobbit.”

The achievement of Cookingwithsim Pie-Runner shows how versatile the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online can be. Players can basically do what they want in the world and achieve a lot with it.

What do you think about a player reaching maximum level just by baking cakes? Have you ever tried something similar?

The Lord of the Rings Online is among the 13 best Free2Play MMORPGs according to MeinMMO. Which others are included, you can read in the list.

In the Guardian Games 2021 in Destiny 2 you fight your friends

Philipp Hansen 16. April 2021 Reading time 7 minutes

Destiny 2 is celebrating the Olympic Space Games. You are to prove in competition that your class is the best in the universe. As a reward, there is an Exotic weapon and numerous cosmetics in the event – oh, and a year of lasting glory.

What is this event about? The Guardian Games (eng. Guardian Games) replace the well-known spring event from Destiny 1. They are inspired by the Olympic Games from our real world and took place for the first time in 2020. Here are the most important details:

The 3 Guardian classes compete against each other in a sporting competition. This time, your opponents are not alien turtles, but other players.
Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters will compete daily for gold, silver, and bronze medals.
Depending on how well each class performs, the new loot will change and the winner will be honored for a whole year.
The Tower and the loot are fully geared towards “sport” and always show the leading class.
New armor, cosmetics, and even an exotic weapon and its catalyst are waiting for all players.
Some changes from last year and new modes are meant to ensure that the competitions remain fair for everyone and exciting throughout the event duration.

Last year, Titans dominated the competition – can Warlocks and Hunters now take revenge for the humiliation they suffered? MeinMMO will show you in this article the most important mechanics such as “Laurels” and how you can win medals for your favorite class. Of course, we will also show you the event loot for which you endure all this.

To get into the mood, here is the new trailer that presents the Space Olympics in a typical Bungie fashion:

Guardian Games 2021 – All about the event in Destiny 2

When will the Guardian Games 2021 take place?

The Guardian Games will start on April 20 at 7:00 PM. The event will run until May 11, lasting 3 weeks. A closing ceremony will also take place from May 7 to May 11.

Who can participate in the Guardian Games?

Every player of Destiny 2 can participate in the Guardian Games 2021 completely free of charge. You do not need the Beyond Light expansion or the current Season Pass of the Season of the Chosen.

How do I start the event?

Visit Eva Levante in the Tower. She is your contact person for the entire Guardian Games 2021. From her, you will receive a special class item – you must wear the item to earn points for your class.

How does this fit into the story of Destiny 2?

Fun dueling between Guardians doesn’t quite fit into the serious apocalyptic scenarios that are the order of the day in Destiny 2, does it? But this time, Commander Zavala is celebrating the retirement of weapons with the sporting competitions that we “negotiated” with Empress Caiatl in Season 13.

So you play in the event and earn points

How does the competition work? First, you must equip the class item from Eva Levante. Warlocks strap on the new armlet, Titans their new banner, and Hunters the competition cloak. With the item, you can complete event bounties and collect medals, as well as turn them in.

The class item changes its color daily – the first place holder wears the item in gold, the second in silver, and the third in bronze. By the way, you must equip the new items – those from last year are disqualified.

The class items for Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters

What you need to know about medals: You can collect medals every day – you store them in the new “medal box”. This way, you won’t waste inventory slots.

If you have earned the coveted medals for your achievements, you must turn them in at a podium in the Tower. Only submitted medals count for your class, so don’t sit on them for too long. Each medal is worth a different amount:

Bronze: 1 point
Silver: 2 points
Gold: 5 points
Platinum: 15 points: these medals are new. You can only earn them in the Nightfall or competitive PvP and Trials of Osiris.
The weighting is a bit different this year, which MeinMMO will explain in its own article shortly.

This is how you see the status live: Depending on how high your class flag is flown in the Tower, you can tell which position you currently hold in the competition.

Warlocks are represented in yellow/gold in the event, Hunters in blue, and Titans in red. You can see live at the podium in the Tower which class has currently scored the most medals:

Laurels and medals in Destiny 2

You’re probably wondering how to obtain medals. It varies, you can do it through bounties and triumphs. This is where the so-called “Laurels” come into play. For a gold medal in the strike, for example, you need 100 Laurels. If you only manage to generate 50 Laurels, that would grant you silver in our example, and 20 Laurels would earn you bronze.

You generate Laurels through ability kills during the Guardian Games: that is through Supers, grenades, and charged melee attacks.
Imagine the Laurels as particles in Gambit that you must collect.
If you do not collect the Laurels, they will decay – Laurels do not go to the post office.
You can get Laurels from all classes. However, if you pick up Laurels generated by the same class as your own, you will receive bonus Laurels.

What are Candidate Cards? This year, new are Candidate Cards. You receive them from Eva in the Tower in exchange for Laurels. You can only have one Candidate Card at a time, which gives you special tasks for PvP, Gambit, or Strike. Alternatively, you can earn valuable platinum medals by completing extra-challenging tasks.

If you complete such a tough challenge, you will earn the “Allstar Status”. This brings you, for example, a platinum glow at the weekly podium ceremony.

New playlist for Guardian Games promises variety

This is the event activity: During the Guardian Games, there is a special strike playlist. Here you will be teamed up with Guardians of your class. This makes it easier to hunt for Laurels. However, there is a catch.

In the playlist, there are positive and negative modifiers that depend on how your class performed the previous day. This rewards diligent Guardians, while the other classes are given good opportunities to catch up.

These are the positive modifiers:

Gold: Health, shields, and recovery are increased. Kinetic weapons deal more damage.
Silver: Melee abilities charge faster. Increased elemental damage through Guardian sources. More heavy ammunition available.
Bronze: Grenade abilities deal more damage and recharge much faster. Increased elemental damage through Guardian sources.

Here are the negative modifiers:

Class	Modifier 1	Modifier 2
Titans	Take more melee damage	Take significantly more melee damage
Warlocks	Take more damage in the air	Take significantly more damage in the air
Hunters	Radar is disabled.	No radar and enemies do not flinch

The class in first place from the previous day receives both negative modifiers. The second place class only has to deal with the first column’s challenges. If your class finished in last place, you are completely spared.

Sporty loot: The event rewards

By submitting medals, bounties, and triumphs, you will receive event packages. Inside, you will find new cosmetics. Additionally, you can earn the event weapon through a quest and earn a Sparrow and badges.

This is the weapon Exotic: This year, you can earn the heavy machine gun “Heir Apparent” once again. The weapon has not been available since the Guardian Games 2020 – you now have a new chance.

If you managed to obtain Heir Apparent last year, you will be excited to unlock the corresponding catalyst. The item is brand new and enhances the Exotic. The catalyst is intended to strengthen the shield function of the MG so that you can finally stomp across the battlefield like a proper Cabal colossus.

These are the new cosmetics: As announced, you will receive a new Sparrow. In addition, there are plenty of new items in the Eververse that you can use to spruce up your Guardian. This includes emotes, universal ornaments, and many cosmetics that all remind of sporting events.

It is currently unknown whether all items in the event packages are available for medals or if some are only obtainable with silver or even with real currency.

What do you think about competing against your fellow players in sporting competition? Are you already looking forward to showing everyone that Titans will win again this year, or will 2021 be the year of the Hunters or the Warlocks?

Is Kecleon coming to Pokémon GO? Trainers find hidden hint

Noah Struthoff 16. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, a long-lost Pokémon from Generation 3 may soon appear. At least, trainers have found a small hint that could point to the release of Kecleon.

Here’s what it’s about: Pokémon GO has announced Friendship Day and, fittingly, released an image featuring Pokémon that will appear there. This image is currently under discussion, as some trainers recognize a Kecleon – a creature that has never appeared in Pokémon GO before.

The hint is small and not recognized by every trainer as evidence for Kecleon, yet it still sparks discussions. It mainly shows that players are eager to finally catch Kecleon.

Is that a tree or Kecleon?

This is the hint: We are including the image section for Friendship Day here. Kecleon is supposed to be camouflaged behind Tangela in the tree:

One needs a bit of imagination, but the tree behind Tangela somewhat resembles the head of Kecleon. Especially the eye of the Pokémon could be seen there.

Why does this fit Kecleon? This Pokémon is special because it can camouflage itself. This allows it to merge with the background – only its red stripe on its belly is always visible during camouflage.

In this picture, Kecleon could have camouflaged itself as a tree, and we only recognize the rough outlines of the creature. The red stripe would disappear behind Tangela.

What speaks against it? Unfortunately quite a lot. On reddit, a user shared the original image (via reddit), which Niantic has only enhanced with Pokémon. This dark spot on the tree was also found there, even though there were no Pokémon in the picture.

It seems to be an unfortunate coincidence, and it is not Kecleon that we may recognize in the background. However, one can also be mistaken here, and Niantic may have intentionally chosen this image.

This shows the speculation: The discussion surrounding Kecleon is large. After all, the first Pokémon from Generation 3 arrived in the game as early as the end of 2017. The only one missing now is Kecleon, so no player’s PokéDex is complete.

People are clutching at straws when it comes to Kecleon’s release and are anticipating a suitable event at any time. It remains exciting around the Pokémon. Perhaps it will happen on Friendship Day, April 24.

Another event brings a new Shiny into the game that can only be caught in a special way:

ESO introduces new quests that earn you shop items

Andreas Bertits 16. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

With the update planned for June of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), a new type of quest will be introduced. Through this, you can obtain items that are available in crown crates.

What are these quests? Endeavors are daily and weekly quests that present you with various tasks. These include:

Acquire items through pickpocketing
Complete quests
Defeat enemies using class or weapon abilities
Sell items to vendors
Craft different types of items
Defeat various types of monsters
Harvest resource nodes and more

The number of these endeavors you can complete per day and week varies. So you must always pay attention to how many are available in the current week. The missions are designed to be accessible to all players and support every play style. You can see which of these new quests are active in the new Endeavors menu. They are automatically active, and you will also receive rewards immediately upon completing the mission.

Earn Items from Crown Crates

What do endeavors bring you? You receive rewards for each completed quest, including gold and EXP. Additionally, there are the Endeavor Seals. This is a new currency. How many you earn per quest depends on the specific task.

What can you do with the Endeavor Seals? You can use this new currency to buy items that you would otherwise find in the crown crates. This includes items such as

Companions
Potions
Scrolls of Learning
Cosmetic items
Apex Mounts

What’s special about this? These items can be earned through endeavors for the first time. So you don’t have to buy crown crates to obtain the items.

What’s behind this? The crown crates were very controversial when introduced in 2016. Because fundamentally, they represent a loot box mechanic. You purchase the crates for money in the crown store, but you don’t know what items are inside. There are always four random items, with a chance to get a fifth. If you draw items from one of the crates that you already possess, they are converted into Crown Gems. With these gems, you can then purchase collectibles of your choice from the current season of crown crates.

So it’s a kind of loot box. However, Microsoft has a very special stance on loot boxes. The guidelines state (via Xbox.com): “Virtual items in loot boxes can always be earned through gameplay.”

Since Bethesda is now part of Microsoft, the crown crate system alongside the introduction of endeavors will soon align with these guidelines.

What do ESO players think about this? That you will soon be able to earn items from crown crates is well received in the ESO community:

Dirthara writes (via reddit): “This is great!!! Sometimes crown crates have some cool items, but there are so many players who refuse to support gambling/loot boxes on principle that they never spend a cent.”
Regi413 expresses surprise (via reddit): “I didn’t expect this. But I think it’s good.”
AtraxMorgue is also pleased (via reddit): “I really like this. Let’s just hope you don’t have to grind too much to get the rarer crate items.”
ObiMeowKatnobi explains (via reddit): “Microsoft’s loot box guidelines state that virtual items in loot boxes can always be earned. Now you know where the change comes from.”

So it’s a good thing that you will soon be able to earn items from crown crates also through the endeavors in ESO. But we will still see how long it takes to get the desired items. Expect to do some grinding.

With ESO Blackwood, NPC companions will also be introduced into the MMORPG. MeinMMO author Alexander Leitsch was able to see them in a preview event and shares his experiences with you.

Attention! Those who die in CoD Warzone now can become a zombie

Maik Schneider 16. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The zombie event of Call of Duty: Warzone is slowly rolling out. With the playlist update on April 15, a new mechanic was introduced in the battle royale – Infested Zones that turn you into zombies. MeinMMO shows what this means for you.

What’s going on? Many players of Call of Duty: Warzone have been waiting for a new map for the big battle royale, and that the story behind it has something to do with zombies.

Now things seem to be getting underway: After the CoD creators already posted a short teaser for a supposed live event on Twitter on April 13, player-zombies were also added to the Warzone with the latest playlist update. The end of the current map may really have come, and you will feel it.

CoD Warzone: Playlist update turns players into zombies

How do you become a zombie in Warzone now? In addition to the new playlist, the zombies in Verdansk moved to the dam on Thursday evening. They have crossed the map completely during Season 2, wandering from the new location “Shipwreck” in the south to the very north.

But something is happening in the south of the map as well. The locations “Shipwreck” and “Prison” are now infested zones where you take damage if you stay in them. Your vision turns green within the area, and if you go completely down within the zones, you turn into a zombie – and that in the regular battle royale of the Warzone.

The zones are small at the start of the round but quickly enlarge. However, they currently remain as large as shown in the picture. The zones are dynamic and could also get bigger over the next week. They might also shift in the coming days. The current locations at “Shipwreck” and “Prison” were also positions of the zombie event in Season 2.

This is different as a zombie: As an undead, you can jump much higher and further, have special attacks, and make creepy noises. If you currently turn into a zombie, it does not really count as death – you end up back on the field, and if an enemy finishes you off, you reportedly even go into the Gulag. There were player-zombies before, but back then during the Halloween event.

New map becoming more likely – but not certain

What’s next? Call of Duty hinted with the teaser on Twitter on Tuesday at April 21 at 9 PM. It is not officially known what will happen at this time. However, due to leaks and rumors, there is speculation that a live event will start next Wednesday that leads to the end of the current map “Verdansk”.

Judging by the found data, a live event is set to start on Wednesday evening that ends the zombie threat in Verdansk and possibly leads to the complete destruction of the map. On Thursday morning, Season 3 of Warzone will start, and players of the battle royale can enjoy a new map – Verdansk 2.0, which takes place more than 30 years in the past.

A new in-game cinematic has likely also shown the first official image of the new map:

But these are still all leaks and speculations. If you want more background on the event and the map leak of Verdansk 2.0, check this out:

The puzzle pieces are slowly coming together, and indeed, a picture emerges that leakers and alleged insiders have been painting for some time: Verdansk will be destroyed by a nuclear bomb and completely replaced by a new map. With the nuke, the protagonists apparently want to counter the zombie plague that has taken over Verdansk.

The details are still up for debate, but it currently looks like we will get a new map for Call of Duty: Warzone with the start of Season 3. Another season with the “old” Verdansk and zombies is also possible, as some leakers suspect.

LoL: Player collects 25,000 stacks on Veigar, kills the Baron with one shot

Schuhmann 16. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

A player has a special idea about League of Legends: He takes the rather unremarkable champion Veigar and amplifies him to the absolute extreme. With 25,000 stacks of his passive buff, the ‘Little Master of Evil’ becomes a damage machine in LoL.

This is the idea: A user on reddit is now having fun leveling champions in LoL to the absolute maximum. He does this in the training tool of League of Legends:

Some champs in LoL have abilities that can stack to absurd heights, which cannot be achieved in a normal game of LoL, lasting between 20 and 60 minutes.
Veigar’s passive ability ‘Phenomenal Evil Powers’ ensures that his spell power increases further when he kills champions or participates in their deaths. The champ is designed to scale with increasing spell damage.
In a normal match, Veigar might reach a few dozen stacks of this buff, but in the training tool, a reddit user raised the value to 25,000. Apparently, that’s the maximum.

This is what the overpowered Veigar looks like: In a video, the user shows what is now possible with such a strong Veigar. The Baron dies with 4 auto-attacks or with a single hit from each ability.

The Baron is the strongest creature in League of Legends. At a high level, much revolves around who controls the Baron, as its death grants the team a strong buff and leads them on the path to victory.

After Veigar has blown up the Baron a few times, he then gears up and waddles down the mid lane, taking out every turret in his path with an auto-attack.

The Master of Evil has actually achieved maximum evilness.

Did you know that Veigar is based on a character from World of Warcraft?

LoL Champs Swain and Cho’Gath in their “Final Form”

Does he do this with other heroes as well? Yes, indeed. The player has already conducted two similar experiments. However, these are less about the damage of the heroes and more about their indestructibility.

The experiment started with Cho’Gath, the monster. The monster becomes huge and practically indestructible with 10,000 stacks of his buff.

These are extreme cases that hardly play a role in actual LoL. The 3 champs do not reach such heights in normal matches. But even in regular League of Legends, there are always champs that are too strong for a moment:

MMORPG Ashes of Creation brings back Alpha access, but the boss warns

The MMORPG Ashes of Creation will allow more players to participate in the game’s “Alpha One.” However, Creative Director Steven Sharif emphasizes that this should be considered carefully.

When does Alpha One start? The official Alpha phase of Ashes of Creation has been postponed several times. While tests have been ongoing for some time, they are under NDA – which means testers are not allowed to share insights.

The “Alpha One,” from which content can be shown, is now scheduled to start on June 1st and run for one month following the latest postponement. Before that, there is also a preview week that is NDA-free, planned from May 14th to May 21st.

However, the keys for the Alpha could not be secured from the shop recently, for which backers had partly paid over 450 Euros. This is expected to change soon, as Steven Sharif noted in a recent post.

Alpha participation should not be regarded as “playing a game”

This is what Sharif says: In his post, the Creative Director discusses the progress of the recent tests. Among other things, work has been done on stability and performance, network issues have been resolved, and a stress test has been conducted. Now they have a more stable test client, and further tests are planned as the NDA-free phase approaches.

Part of this is the “Alpha One,” for which there will soon be participation options again: “I know that we have received a considerable number of inquiries regarding the reopening of the Alpha One sales in recent months,” emphasizes Sharif. They plan to unlock new Alpha One options “sometime in May,” with more information to be announced at the end of April. How much the keys will cost this time remains open for now. In 2018, there were already accesses for Alpha One, which cost $500 and up. However, one should apparently think carefully about whether to participate.

However, I want to issue a serious warning – participating in our Alpha One test should not be regarded as playing a game. You are helping to test our ongoing work.

According to Sharif, testers are expected to provide feedback and help improve the systems. “So if you plan to participate, take this commitment seriously and know that you have our respect and appreciation. This will not be for everyone,” says the Creative Director.

You should not expect a finished game in the Alpha: “It goes without saying that this is our Alpha One, and therefore you will not see a finished game, quite the opposite. You will see a work-in-progress, with bugs and significant optimizations still to be made. Additionally, many systems and features are not yet implemented or are only in their core form.”

One should also prepare for this when first seeing the game – when the time comes – in streams or similar. This can actually be a problem for new games: MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has taken a closer look at the topic of “Alpha phases” in connection with Ashes of Creation and explains why the classic Alpha no longer exists in MMORPGs.

One of the most annoying operators in Rainbow Six looks really ridiculous now

Benedict Grothaus 15. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

Ubisoft, the developers of Rainbow Six Siege, have announced a collaboration with Adult Swim. They are known for their cartoon series “Rick & Morty”. To kick off, there are two completely absurd skins and ridiculous weapon charms.

Who is the Operator? One of the two Operators receiving a new skin is the defender Smoke from the British SAS. Smoke uses a special gas mixture to hinder opponents.

He is particularly annoying because he often waits at the objective point of the attackers, preventing them from reaching it. He can use his gas to protect a bomb and obstruct the enemies’ vision.

When positioned correctly, he can still see the legs of the opponents and hit them. The gas also makes attackers cough, making them easier to locate. Especially under time pressure, when attackers urgently need to get to the bomb, Smoke can be a real nuisance.

This is the new skin: With the collaboration, Smoke now gets the “Pickle Rick Skin”. With this, he wears the head and parts of a rat’s body, along with the ribcage and some remains of a pickle.

Attacker colleague Sledge (also from the SAS) receives the second skin, the Gromflotite Skin. Gromflotites are an insect species and antagonists in the cartoon Rick & Morty. Additionally, there will be a pickle as a weapon charm:

Why the hell a pickle? The skin is a reference to an episode of Rick & Morty, where the brilliant scientist Rick Sanchez transforms into a pickle out of boredom. He rolls into the sewers and tries to escape and transform back.

To do this, he lures some rats into a trap and uses their corpses to build an exoskeleton and weapons to blast his way back to his lab. Hence the pickle as a charm.

Ridiculous skins surprise, but are well received

Rainbow Six is actually a rather serious game, which is why players didn’t necessarily expect such an event. For Peter L. on YouTube, for example, it is a “completely unexpected crossover” (via YouTube).

Rainbow Six Siege has attempted something quirky before with a pizza skin for Mozzie, which however was not well received. The new Rick-&-Morty skins, however, seem to be significantly more popular. Under the German video, for instance, it says: “What, really? How cool is that? I might actually play again” (via YouTube).

WoW brings the most controversial community tool officially into play

Benedict Grothaus 15. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

World of Warcraft is apparently working on its own tool that is supposed to replace the popular website Raider.IO. This was revealed by the operators of the website – and the code from the new patch 9.1 already contains hints about the new feature.

What kind of tool is this? Raider.IO is a website that tracks player progress in Mythic+ dungeons. It records, among other things:

which dungeons you have completed in time
how quickly you complete the dungeons
what the highest key was completed outside of time
which specializations and roles you are using

The tool assigns you a “RIO Score” that indicates how experienced you are with endgame content. Raider.IO has been popular for many years and is often used to filter in group searches.

How is it in WoW? The creators of Raider.IO revealed in a blog post that Blizzard is also working on such a system (via Raider.IO). The developers have contacted the website for this and asked them questions.

In the form of the “Mythic + Score”, Raider.IO is also supposed to be implemented in WoW and function similarly. There are no details about this yet, but data miners from wowhead have already discovered code lines in patch 9.1 on the PTR of WoW that indicate the tool (via wowhead):

According to the code lines, there will be a UI, which is a dedicated interface for the tool.
The score is apparently based on all dungeons.
The individual values for the dungeons will be displayed separately.
A display indicates how much score a successful dungeon would bring you.

Whether all of this is true remains to be seen and is purely an interpretation of the discovered code. It is also still unclear when the Mythic+ Score will be released. Possibly with the upcoming patch 9.1, but maybe later.

“Mythic+ Score” for WoW – Is it good or bad?

Why the tool is so controversial: The RIO score is heavily disputed among players. Some criticize that players are reduced to a number and are no longer included, even though they might be good enough. Just because they don’t run enough Mythic+ dungeons, they won’t have enough score, even if they possess the technical understanding.

Moreover, the score causes some players to leave dungeons even though they could have easily completed them in time – just below the value that would be useful to them. This leaves four other players in the lurch.
