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

Schuhmann 13. April 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

The streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel is no longer the most-watched streamer on Twitch. His viewer hours halved in early April 2021 since he was banned from playing on the roleplay server for GTA 5, “No Pixel”. He was kicked from the server three times. The last kick was apparently too much. Since the ban, xQc has been streaming much less on Twitch.

So xQc’s numbers have changed:

A week ago, xQc accumulated 9.27 million viewer hours on Twitch in 7 days – which gave him a clear number 1 spot. He had over 3 million hours lead on the second place.
Now he has plummeted to 4.22 million hours for the same value. Thus, he lost more than half of his viewer hours. However, that’s still enough for a strong number 2 spot.

The new number 1 on Twitch is now the constant streamer Ludwig, whose subathon just won’t stop. In contrast to xQc, Ludwig even gained in the last week.

xQc is banned from the roleplay server for GTA 5 three times

Why did xQc lose the number 1 spot? In the extremely strong previous week, xQc was almost constantly on the roleplay server “No Pixel” for GTA 5. There he played a criminal who repeatedly clashed with police officers portrayed by other streamers.

The cat-and-mouse game and the constant conflicts with the police were highly appreciated by xQc’s fans:

xQc constantly complained about the supposedly bad treatment he received from the cops.
He accused the police streamer of wanting to profit from his fame and harassing him by stopping him and forcing him to interact with them longer.
Once, xQc shot two cops from a prison cell with a weapon he had smuggled in. He felt unfairly treated then.

But xQc is no longer showing GTA 5 because he was banned from the server after xQc clashed with the cops again on Easter.

More on the topic

The biggest streamer on Twitch is banned from the biggest game for Easter

von Schuhmann

“I’ll be back on the streets very soon!”

At first, xQc apparently thought that this third permanent ban would also be lifted quickly like the first two:

One of the cops told him the whole server hopes he logs off and doesn’t come back.
But xQc was sure: He would be back on the streets soon.

In the following days, it became a running gag. In the stream, it was repeatedly a topic that xQc would be unbanned practically any second and would be allowed to play GTA 5 again.

The 3rd ban of xQc on GTA 5 No Pixel was apparently permanent

The fans wanted to see him back in GTA 5. xQc himself probably also longed to continue his adventures on the roleplay server.

But it doesn’t seem that xQc will be back on the streets of the simulated city anytime soon. As xQc explains in his Discord, the last ban was apparently permanent.

He says he will now stay out of everything to see if he can still play GTA 5, but seems to expect that this time is over.

Without the roleplay server in GTA 5, xQc seems to have lost some interest in streaming. He was significantly less on air in the last week. Moreover, he apparently has business to attend to. He now has his own flavor of Gfuel, the “Juice,” and often refers to his viewers as “Juicers” and has been talking about “the Juice” for years – but he doesn’t seem to know exactly what that is himself.

Is the ban also negatively affecting GTA 5? Well, it is missing about 4 million viewer hours – just like xQc. However, the hours are affecting differently:

While xQc lost 54% of viewer hours in the last 7 days
GTA 5 only loses 10% of viewer hours on Twitch in the same period.

Apparently, the operators of No Pixel have decided to listen to the other streamers: Many had demanded serious consequences for xQc after he had behaved selfishly and toxically multiple times. He appears to be self-centered and reckless in K9 conflict situations. Apparently, he loses control after long streaming sessions and lets his emotions run wild. His fans reward him for behaving like that, but other streamers do not appreciate it.

After the last incident, other Twitch streamers on No Pixel demanded: They did not want to be “food” for xQc clips on YouTube, as he uses them for his purposes.

How is it going for xQc now: xQc still has many viewers when he streams Minecraft now, but significantly fewer than when he was active in GTA 5. In Minecraft, he is doing great, by the way. It’s nice to see that he has his temperament under control:

xQc unbanned and back in No Pixel

Update 13.4., 9:42 AM: The ban from No Pixel was not permanent but lasted only a week. xQc was unbanned.

That he can stream on No Pixel again apparently surprised the streamer himself. In a Twitch clip, you can see his first reaction when he realizes he is allowed back on the server:

xQc has already completed a mammoth stream in GTA 5:

The new stream lasted almost 24 hours
had an average of over 100,000 viewers
and was the second most successful stream of xQc in the last 90 days.

The streamer xQc has come a long way to the top of Twitch in the last 3 years. In 2018, it started out much smaller:

All about the 11 classes and 33 subclasses in the MMORPG Crowfall

Alexander Leitsch 13. April 2021 Reading time 9 minutes

The MMORPG Crowfall aims to give players a lot of freedom in class design. Therefore, there are not only 11 classes, but also 3 subclasses for each.

The developers have already provided an insight into their talent system. They also addressed the subclasses and additional specialization options. In another article, almost all of the 33 subclasses were presented in English (via Crowfall).

The presentation is quite brief and mainly focuses on the most significant features. Most subclasses can be divided into the following categories:

High Damage
Versatility
Healing
High CC

We have created an overview of classes from this article, our own experiences with the MMORPG, and the latest information from the website.

Note: This article was originally written in December 2018 and last updated on April 13, 2021.

[toc]

The Assassin

The Assassin is a melee fighter focused on invisibility. He works with deadly knives and silent arrows to take down his enemies. He can mainly be created by Elves, Half-Elves, Nethari, and Fae.

Rogue: By specializing in the Rogue, your poisons become more interesting. You passively gain 8% lifesteal when you apply poisons to enemies.

You also passively gain a damage barrier when you stun an opponent. This fits perfectly with the fact that attacks meant to stun opponents have a reduced cooldown.

Throat Cutter: The Throat Cutter, on the other hand, focuses on pure damage. Thus, your attacks deal 20% more damage when you are behind an opponent. Additionally, the numbers for Kidney Shot and a successful Backstab are also increased.

Vandal: If there is such a thing as defensive for the Assassin, you will find it in the Vandal. The passive effect Yaga’s Gift ensures that you do not die immediately from lethal attacks and receive a damage reduction of 90% for 4 seconds.

On the next pages, you will learn everything about Duelist, Myrmidon, and the other classes in Crowfall.

Pokémon GO suddenly weakens Thundurus upon release – How strong is it now?

Noah Struthoff 13. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the legendary raids with Landorus start today, April 13. However, shortly before that, there is a setback, as Landorus has been weakened again. We’ll show you if it’s still worth it.

Here’s the situation with Landorus: The legendary Pokémon would actually be by far the best Ground attacker in the game – at least in its Therian Form, which appears from April 13 at 10:00 AM. However, there is a change in moves for Landorus, which has weakened the form again.

In short: Landorus is getting weaker, but remains useful. We’ll show you exactly what has changed here.

This is the story of Landorus: It is part of the trio “Forces of Nature,” which also includes Tornadus and Thundurus. The three monsters represent wind, thunderstorm, and ground. Unlike Tornadus and Thundurus, which are feared by farmers, Landorus is popular. It appears where the harvests are rich. Because of this, it is also referred to as the “Lord of Agriculture” in the Pokémon world.

Landorus with Earthquake – Is it worth it?

These are the new moves: There is a whole bunch of new moves. Some old attacks will disappear because of this. The entire moveset of Landorus now looks like this:

Fast Moves: Mud Shot (Ground), Confusion (Psychic)
Charge Moves: Earthquake (Ground), Steam Roll (Ground), Superpower (Fighting), Stone Edge (Rock)

Previously, Landorus could learn Earth Power. This attack is significantly better than Earthquake or Steam Roll, so Landorus has now been slightly weakened.

How strong is Landorus now? Basically, the Pokémon is still strong, but by no means as powerful as it was with Earth Power. Reddit user Enemigo_Poderoso explains (via reddit): “A Landorus at level 50 with Earth Power takes down Heatran in 384 seconds. A Landorus with Earthquake does it in 410 seconds and a Groudon does it in 418 seconds.”

Overall, the Therian Form of Landorus remains the best Ground attacker, but compared to Groudon or Stoutland, it’s almost equally strong. The difference in battle will be significantly smaller.

Are Landorus raids still worth it? If you already have a strong team of Ground Pokémon, you don’t necessarily need a strong Landorus in your ranks. It’s slightly better, but only minimally.

However, from past experience, we know that Niantic brings back old raid bosses with new moves. So it’s quite possible that we’ll see a Landorus with Earth Power in the future. For this, you can already catch a good Landorus and later upgrade it into a real machine using an Elite Charge TM.

Basically, you still can’t go wrong with Landorus, but you won’t notice a significant difference compared to Groudon. Everyone has to decide for themselves how many passes they are ultimately willing to spend on the raid boss.

What’s next in Pokémon GO? In April, there are still numerous events. This includes raid and spotlight hours, as well as a sustainability week.

This week, Rival Week is waiting for you! In this event, new Pokémon appear, and rare Shinies show up in the game. We’ve prepared an overview of all bonuses for you here:

Worm Spirit Cells in Destiny 2 – What They Can Do and Why You Should Use Them

Philipp Hansen 13. April 2021 Reading time 6 minutes

Destiny 2 gives you the opportunity to become an immortal killer with Warmind Cells or clear entire rooms with explosions. We explain everything about the right mods, the suitable weapons, and why you need to try this.

Update April 8, 2021: This article was originally published in March 2020 but has been fundamentally revised and adjusted to the conditions after Beyond Light.

Why this topic is so important: Many Guardians do not know that Destiny 2 has taken a big step towards RPG. You can build proper builds with mods that make you significantly stronger than other Guardians.

You can use these 3 powerful mechanics for your builds:

In this guide, we will focus on the Warmind Cells. The mini-nukes have been in the game since spring 2020, but many Guardians are still unaware of their devastating power. Since Bungie has now abandoned the weapon sunsetting, these builds will remain with you forever – now is the ideal time to engage with them.

If you want to learn how to clear an entire room with one explosion and turn your Guardian into a killing machine, this article is just right for you.

[toc]

What are Warmind Cells in Destiny 2?

Warmind Cells are about soccer ball-sized spheres that glow red and have immense explosive power. You can shoot or collect these spheres. This will cause them to either explode, sabotage enemies, or grant you powerful bonuses.

How do I create Warmind Cells?

You can only create Warmind Cells in Destiny 2 if you use the appropriate weapon and/or the right mod in your armor. We go into detail about mods and weapons in the post on MeinMMO.

Where do I get Warmind Cell mods?

In Season 13, your only chance for the mods is to visit Banshee-44 in the Tower. He offers 2 random mods daily. With a little luck, one of them will be a Warmind Cell mod. Starting from Season 15 (May 2021), Ada-1 in the Tower will offer armor improvements, where you will then have the chance for Warmind Cell mods.

Let’s make a big bang in Destiny 2

This is how the mini-nukes work: If you use the right weapons in combination with at least one Warmind Cell mod, kills with the corresponding weapon can generate Warmind Cells. In practice, it has been shown that normally every 5th kill spawns a Warmind Cell.

The red ball then just rolls around and dissolves after a while. After a few hits (regardless of who), however, the cell will explode and usually take everything around with it. Alternatively, you can activate additional effects with the right mods. A Warmind Cell can also increase your defense or damage.

Your equipped mods determine which effects you would like. Aggressive or defensive builds can be created this way.

More on the topic

Destiny 2: The strongest War Spirit builds for all 3 classes in Season 10

von Philipp Hansen

Which weapons do I need? As mentioned before, not all weapons can create Warmind Cells. However, Destiny 2 does not really disclose which weapons are currently capable of doing so.

Originally, only the so-called Seventh Seraph weapons from Season 10 were capable of this. Meanwhile, the Warmind Cells arsenal has increased somewhat, and with tricks, you can bypass a few rules. Therefore, MeinMMO lists all applicable guns.

But keep in mind, you need at least one Warmind mod in addition to the appropriate weapon! At the end of the article, you will find a table with all currently available mods.

These 6 Seventh Seraph weapons generate Warmind Cells

Seventh Seraph Carbine (Auto Rifle)
Seventh Seraph Officer’s Revolver (Hand Cannon)
Seventh Seraph SI-2 (Handgun)
Seventh Seraph Saw (Machine Gun)
Seventh Seraph CQC-12 (Shotgun)
Seventh Seraph VY-7 (Submachine Gun)

You can obtain all 6 weapons as random World Drops. There is a chance for a Seraph weapon from every Legendary Engram and after each activity.

These 4 Ikelos weapons generate Warmind Cells

IKELOS_HFW_V1.0.2 (Hand Cannon)
IKELOS_SF_V1.0.2 (Shotgun)
IKELOS_SSG_V1.0.2 (Sniper Rifle)
IKELOS_MP_V1.0.2 (Submachine Gun)

You can only obtain the hand cannon and the shotgun in the Prophecy Dungeon. Sniper and SMG await you randomly as World Drops.

Trick with Solar Damage that all guardians should know

This method works too: If you don’t want to use an Ikelos or Seraph weapon but still don’t want to miss out on Warmind Cells, one mod makes your dreams come true: “Rasputin’s Fury” (this is a Warmind mod). Every kill that generates a solar explosion for you has the chance to create a cell.

It’s important to note that it is not the weapon kill itself that generates the Warmind Cells, but the explosion must take down the enemies. Here are some examples of exotics and weapon perks that cause solar explosion damage:

Xenophage (each shot counts as a solar explosion)
One Thousand Voices
Sunshot
Ticuus’s Divination
Skyburner’s Oath
Wish-Dragon (with the firefly explosion)
Any solar weapon with the perk “Explosive Payload” or “Time Payload”
Any kinetic weapon that you combine with a solar focus and the Warlock exotic Chromatic Fire

Did you know about this method? You can trick the game with some skill and generate Warmind Cells without properly using the previously listed methods. For this, you need a weapon that deals damage over time and a Seraph or Ikelos weapon.

For example, if you poison enemies with Withering Scourge and switch to an Ikelos or Seraph weapon, Warmind Cells can emerge. This works because at the moment of death, an Ikelos or Seraph weapon is actively being used. Destiny 2 doesn’t care that the kill actually came from another weapon (or the poison). This is also possible with Telesto or Anarchy.

All about Warmind Mods in Destiny 2

As mentioned, you must equip at least one Warmind mod to make a mini-nuke appear. You can install all 19 mods in the 4th slot of your armor, the so-called “Combat Style Mod”. Alternatively, you can also put the mods for the other mechanics like Charged with Light or Elemental Sources here.

Each mod offers the same base effect, namely that kills with Seraph or Ikelos weapons can create Warmind Cells.
Additionally, each mod offers a unique effect – there are much damage, bonuses for your team, or suppression of enemies.

Here is a list of all Warmind Cell mods available in Season 13:

Mod Name	Effect	Energy Cost
Global Reach	Larger explosion from Warmind Cells	1 no element
Warmind Light	Picking up cells charges with light	3 Arc
Rasputin’s Blessing	Increases the chance that weapons create a cell	2 Arc
Rasputin’s Strength	Cells grant melee energy	2 Arc
Chosen by the Warmind	Disruption wave when picking up or destroying cells	1 Arc
Modular Strike	Picking up creates chaining Arc lightning	3 Arc
Protective Energy	You receive an overshield when picking up	5 Arc
Rasputin’s Fury	Kills with Solar explosions can create cells	1 Solar
Burning Cells	Enemies burn upon cell destruction	3 Solar
Fireteam Medic	Heals nearby Guardians when destroying cells	3 Solar
Igniting Light	Quick kills from cell explosions charge you with light	3 Solar
Light of Fire	Quick kills from cell explosions create orbs	4 Solar
Wrath of the Warmind	Additional Solar damage on cell explosions	5 Solar
Wrath of the Warmind	Additional Solar damage on cell explosions	5 Solar
Warmind Longevity	Warmind cells stay on the field longer	1 Void
Warmind Protection	Nearby enemies deal less damage near cells	2 Void
Grip of the Warmind	Allows you to pick up, carry, and throw cells	3 Void
Light from Darkness	Charges you with light when you quickly kill enemies near cells	3 Void
Cellular Suppression	Cells suppress enemies when shot with Void	4 Void
Rasputin’s Power	Increases weapon damage against enemies near cells	4 Void

You must note that different energy costs apply depending on the mod. It is also important to know that a Void mod only fits into a Void armor. However, it does not matter whether you install the mod in your boots or helmet. You can install any mod in any armor piece.

The most important mod is probably “Global Reach”. It only costs you 1 energy point and is not tied to any element. Alone with this mod and a suitable weapon, you already have a Warmind build. You can then add up to 4 more mods to enhance your explosions or use the free combat style slots for other mechanics. Here you can be creative.

What is happening today in Fortnite? The update 16.20 was announced by Fortnite Status on Twitter and is supposed to be deployed today. The patch brings some changes to the game.

Update 12:30 PM: The update 16.20 has now been deployed. We will show you in our German patch notes what has changed in the game.

Before players can start searching for all the new features, the Fortnite servers will be taken down for a while.

Fortnite servers are going down – when and for how long?

Downtime starts in the morning: The downtime for the update 16.20 starts earlier than usual today – at 8:00 AM German time. So at 7:30 AM you can join a new round for the last time, after that the servers will be taken down and Fortnite will be down for a short time.

How long will the maintenance work take? Fortnite Status has already announced that the downtime today will be a bit longer. However, since the downtime starts earlier, maintenance should be completed as usual around noon.

Technical problems or other delays could cause an extension of the maintenance work. If this is the case, you will hear about it here on MeinMMO from us.

When will the patch notes come? According to the experience of the last updates in the new chapter of Fortnite, there will likely be again no or only superficial patch notes for the battle royale mode from Epic published.

However, if major changes are deployed, we will collect them for you and create our own version of German patch notes. We will then publish these here on MeinMMO.

What new content does update 16.20 bring?

What new things will there be in battle royale mode? Fortnite Status presented a few new features when announcing the update on Twitter. Here’s what to expect after the downtime today:

Reworks for vehicles – Equipped with new wheels?
A special duo cup with bows
“50 player” matchmaking in creative mode

Maybe Epic will also bring one of the leaked bows found by data miners.

Update 16.20 could bring some changes to the game again. Maybe this is a chance to bring your friends back to the game? With the “Reactivate a Friend” program, you can unlock 4 cool items if you get your friends who haven’t played for a while excited about Fortnite again.

This is included in the patch: Patch 5.5, titled “Death Unto Dawn,” is the last major update before the next expansion Endwalker. As always, it brings a whole range of new content. This includes:

Continuation of the main story
Final section of the Nier raid
Fight against Diamond Weapon in normal and EX
The celebration for the reconstruction of Ishgard
PS5 beta goes online

The preliminary patch notes with all the information can be found on the official website (via Lodestone). You can watch the German trailer for Patch 5.5 here:

Link to the YouTube content

Is that all? No. Patch 5.5 will be split into several parts. The main part comes on April 13, with further parts to follow. By the end of May, the second part with the number 5.55 will be released, bringing the continuation of the story from Shadowbringers. It is meant to form the transition to the expansion Endwalker.

The quests around the Resistance weapons will also continue. Players will enter the new area “Zadnor Plain” and will be able to fight there. It is located at the border between Bozja and Dalmasca. This time, no minimum rank is required for the continuation of the quests at the Resistance.

Additionally, the “New Game+” mode will receive further content that you can play again.

After the server maintenance, it begins

These are the maintenance times: The server maintenance preceding the patch will start on April 13 at 3:00 AM and run until 12:00 PM noon German time. As always, the end of the maintenance might be delayed if there are unexpected difficulties. However, experience shows that maintenance in FFXIV often ends earlier than planned.

Here is a concise overview of all unlockable content you can tackle after the server maintenance.

Continuation of the main story

How to unlock the quest:

Name of the start quest: “Silver Armor”
Quest NPC: Alisaie
Location: Mor Dhona, Instance Sunstone (X: 6.0 / Y: 5.9)
Requirements: One combat or magic job at level 80, completion of the quest “On Malevolent Wings.” This is the last story quest of the previous Patch 5.4

The new dungeon Paglth’an will be unlocked during the main story, so just follow the quest line.

This is what to expect in the story: The situation intensifies for the Warrior of Light and his friends. With the help of mysterious towers that have appeared all over the world, Zenos and Fandaniel are attempting to foretell the end of the world.

The land of Eorzea is burning, the allied city-states are under heavy siege by opposing hordes, and the situation seems hopeless. The Warrior of Light must rally all his allies to withstand the overwhelming force.

With Patch 5.5, only part of the main story quest will come. The second part, which will form a transition to the expansion Endwalker, will be available by the end of May after the Fan Festival (May 15 and 16). So expect a significant cliffhanger.

YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse – Conclusion

How to unlock the quest:

Name of the start quest: “Sorrowful Plague”
Quest NPC: Foreman
Location: Kholusia (X: 34.7 / Y: 18.2)
Requirements: One combat or magic job at level 80, completion of the quest “Sorrow in Orb Form.” This is a short side quest that appeared with Patch 5.4. Item Level: 495

There will also be weekly quests after completion, which conclude the story around the Nier raid. They are optional, however.

This is what to expect in the Nier raid: The final part of the “YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse” raid takes players into the tower Paradigm Breaker. Together with 2B and 9S, you will explore the raid and hopefully uncover the secret behind the androids.

The raid is expected to consist of 3 bosses and a series of segments with trash mobs that players will have to fight through. The bosses will be familiar enemies from the Nier universe.

You can look forward to new hairstyles modeled after those of 2B and 9S as rewards. Additionally, there will be new gear with an item level of 520 and coins that you can exchange for upgrade materials.

Quest series “Battle for Werlyt” and the fight against Diamond Weapon

How to unlock the quest:

Name of the start quest: “Gleaming Life”
Quest NPC: Magical Officer
Location: The Fen (X: 11.3 / Y: 22.5)
Requirements: One combat or magic job at level 80, completion of the quest “Monument of Atonement.” This is the last quest from Werlyt.

The fight against the Diamond Weapon will be unlocked during the quests.

How to unlock Diamond Weapon EX (Diamond Flash – Trauma):

Quest NPC: Garlond Model Builder
Location: The Fen (X: 11.5 / Y: 22.5)
Requirements: One combat or magic job at level 80, completion of an unknown Werlyt quest from Patch 5.4. Presumably, you will have to defeat the normal version of the weapon for this. Item Level: at least 510

This is what to expect in Werlyt: After the victory over Smaragd Weapon, the VII Legion from Garlemald has one last trump card to play. Diamond is supposed to be the strongest weapon of its kind and will force the Warrior of Light to his knees.

The fight against the mechanical monster will take place high in the sky on a flying platform. There will again be a normal and an EX version of the trial fight, with the latter rewarding you with cool loot.

new weapons for all jobs
new mount
a crafting item that you can use for a new Chocobo harness
totems that you can exchange at NPC C’intana in Mor Dhona (X:22.7 Y:6.7) for weapons

New Super-Mount

With Patch 5.5, the new super mounts will also enter the game. You can unlock them after obtaining every Gwiber mount from the trial content of FFXIV: Shadowbringers.

Name of the start quest: “Dragon of Fire and Iron”
Quest NPC: Garlond Model Builder
Location: The Fen (X: 11.5 / Y: 22.5)
Requirements: Ownership of the mounts “Pixie Gwiber”, “Innocence Gwiber”, “Shadow Gwiber”, “Ruby Gwiber”, “Light Gwiber”, “Emerald Gwiber” or “Diamond Gwiber”.

Dream Trial: Leviathan

How to unlock the new dream trial: If you haven’t unlocked the mini-game yet, you can do it here:

Name of the start quest: “Came to the Fox”
Quest NPC: Traveler from Ishgard
Location: Frohenhalde (X: 7.0 / Y: 5.9)
Requirements: One combat or magic job at level 80

This is what to expect: The current dream trial with Titan will rotate out, and in its place comes Leviathan. The fight is about the old extreme version of Levi, which has been elevated from level 50 to level 80. And it is correspondingly challenging.

After the victory over Leviathan, you will engage in a small mini-game with the fox and earn the currency Dream Leaves. You will be able to exchange these leaves for rewards such as companions or mounts.

Wish Deliveries: Count Charlemend Durendaire

How to unlock the quests:

Name of the start quest: “A Reliable Duo”
Quest NPC: Francel
Location: Sky City (X: 11.0 / Y: 14.4)
Requirements: One crafting or gathering job at level 70, completion of the quests “A Livable City”, “New Momentum for the Scions” and “Happy Collector’s Gathering.” These are quests that are part of the reconstruction of Ishgard.

This is what to expect: Although the construction of Ishgard is complete, work continues. Various items are needed in large quantities, and you are to procure them. In Wish Deliveries, you will craft particularly high-quality items or gather them as a collector and present them to the delivery NPC. Overall, you will be able to accept 12 assignments from the esteemed Count each week.

As for rewards, you can look forward to hefty EXP bonuses for your gathering or crafting jobs or, if you are already level 80, crafter tokens. These tokens can be exchanged for further rewards and crafting materials.

Additional Notes

Here are a few things to watch out for in Patch 5.5:

With Patch 5.5, a festival celebrating the reconstruction will kick off in Ishgard. About every 2 hours, FATE-like events will be held there, where you can win prizes
The popular hairstyle “Gambler” returns. You will be able to exchange it at the Gold Saucer for MGP
The day after the patch, on April 14, the slightly delayed Easter event will begin, in which you can receive an absolutely glamorous new outfit. It starts in Old Gridania (X: 10.2 / Y: 9.4)
The beta for the PS5 version starts for all players and test accounts
In the treasure dungeon Kyhe Ghiah, there will be new items from which you can create stylish glamour outfits
New NPCs will be added who sell luxury goods such as new mounts: Edelina in Mor Dhona (X: 22.1 / Y: 4.8) and Tabeth in Eulmore (X: 10.0 / Y: 11.2)

Some WoW players are already mocking the new patch 9.1, don’t feel like it

Benedict Grothaus 12. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is set to receive a plethora of new content with the upcoming Patch 9.1. Among that is a confrontation with Sylvanas, who currently appears to be acting as an antagonist. Some players are not looking forward to it at all. They fear a cliché.

What kind of patch is this? The upcoming Patch 9.1 brings the first major changes and new content to the eighth WoW expansion Shadowlands. The patch includes:

Continuation of the Covenant campaigns
new story surrounding Anduin, who is becoming a sort of “Arthas 2.0”
Korthia, a new area with daily quests and more
the mega-dungeon Tazavesh

Overall, these are good changes and some believe that the worst thing about Patch 9.1 is the wait for its release. However, not all players are satisfied with what they expect.

What is the problem? One of the major new contents is the raid Sanctum of Domination. In this, players will face ten bosses – with a final battle against Sylvanas Windrunner, the Banshee Queen.

Sylvanas is a controversial character, loved or hated by players. There is hardly any gray area. And right now, the battle against her is causing some of the community to mock the upcoming content.

“Who is ready to not kill Sylvanas?”

What players criticize: Threads keep appearing in the WoW subreddit where players criticize that nothing will happen with Sylvanas anyway. The players think that the story writers are glorifying the Banshee too much:

Even though there will be a fight against her, players are sure that nothing else will happen. The reddit user knihT-dooG writes cynically: “I can’t wait to get GENOUGH’t at the end of 9.1 and see her bansheet away” (via reddit).

The discussion has been going on for a while. Several weeks ago, the reddit user AnwaAnduril opened a thread titled: “Who is ready to not kill Sylvanas in the new Maw raid and see her redemption cinematic?” In his text, he notes: “Because genocide isn’t really that bad, according to Blizzard, I guess” (via reddit).

Why is this a problem? Players feel that Blizzard exploits its villains too often (the antagonists, not the class). They could be holding players off too frequently, only to later celebrate one or more reappearances.

The antagonists escape and are then “recycled” in upcoming stories. Either they freeze the players in battle and flee, or they avoid their just punishment in other ways. Sylvanas herself demonstrated this at the end of BfA.

In the honor duel against Saurfang (“Mak’gora”), she used her banshee powers and fled before Tyrande could take her revenge – or practically anyone else who had already built up hatred against her at that time.

Now players fear that this will simply happen again – or that Sylvanas will receive a so-called “redemption arc.” This is a plot in which a villain is redeemed and converted to “good.”

There are already signs for a “redemption arc” for Sylvanas and players are now sure that at the end of 9.1 they will either be held off once more, or that Sylvanas will suddenly be redeemed. Similar to what has already happened with Illidan (via reddit).

Joy over new mounts and more

Is everything really bad? Even though Sylvanas is a common and recurring topic of contention, not the entire community is against the development. Many players are looking forward to new content, such as the new mounts for their Covenant:

Me, a Nightfae, when 9.1 finally drops from r/wow

Here they humorously point out parallels between the Nightfae mount and the dog-dragon Fuchur from The NeverEnding Story, but overall seem satisfied with the changes.

Overall, the fact that more content is coming is welcomed. Cortyn here on MeinMMO thinks: Patch 9.1 looks really good and I don’t get the hate

What else players suggest: With the upcoming patch, some constructive players also see the opportunity to address issues in Shadowlands. They wish for a removal of caps for soul ash, conquest points, and honor or the fee for changing binding median (via reddit).

This would make playing Twinks, or alternate characters, significantly easier. Blizzard has even already helped by removing one of the most annoying endgame grinds, making it a bit easier for Twinks.

von Cortyn

When is Patch 9.1 coming? So far, no specific date has been announced for Patch 9.1. Due to its size, with at least 18 new bosses in one raid and a mega-dungeon, testing could also take a while.

The patch testing is likely to start on the PTR sometime in April. From there, you can expect around 6-8 weeks, although this estimate may persist because of the size and the difficulties with the current corona situation.

Samsung presents new high-end monitor – What do you get for 1,900 Euros?

Benedikt Schlotmann 12. April 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

Samsung already presented its latest high-end monitor a month ago, and new details have now emerged. But who is a gaming monitor that costs more than 1,500 euros aimed at?

Samsung already introduced the new monitor Odyssey G9 S49AG95NC about a month ago (via news.samsung.com). The Odyssey series is Samsung’s gaming monitor series, which is designated from G3 to G9. The G9 monitors represent the high-end models and offer particularly high-quality craftsmanship and many features.

Further details about the new monitor have now become known through the Chinese retailer Taobao (Taobao.com). The price of the Odyssey G9 S49AG95NC is around 1,900 euros. But note that the price is not yet official, and we convert the Chinese currency into euros.

The predecessor model – the Odyssey G9 LC49G95T – is currently available for around 1,600 euros on Amazon:

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

The new successor relies on similar specifications as its predecessor. The new monitor offers:

49-inch resolution with 32:9 aspect ratio
5,120 by 1,440 pixels (DQHD)
240 Hz
LED display

What is special about the new version? Especially with brightness, the new monitor makes a significant leap forward. Instead of 10 lighting zones, the new monitor is supposed to offer 2,048 brightness zones. This is intended to significantly improve the lighting of the LED display, but it does not reach the pixel-perfect brightness control of OLED displays.

However, LED displays do not have the issue of possible burn-in of static images. This is better for users who work at the monitor.

The monitor is also supposed to provide a brightness of 2000 cd/m². For HDR representation, a minimum of 400 cd/m² or higher is required. With this brightness, the screen is even certified with “VESA DisplayHDR 2000”. The special thing about it is: so far there is officially no “VESA DisplayHDR 2000.” The current standard is HDR 1400. VESA describes a certificate on how well a display is suitable for HDR playback.

The new gaming monitor is primarily aimed at enthusiasts who have matching hardware

Samsung charges more than 1,000 euros for its new high-end model. That’s quite a lot of money at first. But who is it aimed at?

Who is the monitor aimed at? Interested parties should basically understand that you need appropriate hardware to really operate this monitor. To achieve 240Hz at full resolution, you need at least an RTX 2080 or an RTX 3080. Therefore, the monitor is primarily aimed at enthusiasts.

In gaming, you also have to consider that the games support the large resolutions. How significant the differences are at 32:9 has been presented by GameStar in an article. GameStar looked at how much performance 32:9 costs compared to 16:9.

In competitive games, you have the advantage of having a wider field of view than players who play on 16:9. Other games like Overwatch try to create an artificial zoom so that resolutions like 21:9 and 16:9 resemble each other and no advantage is gained for players.

How big is actually 32:9? You can think of a monitor in ultra-wide format (32:9) and 49 inches as two WQHD monitors each with 27 inches side by side, just without the annoying bezel of individual screens. The resolution is not quite 4K but comes close. Instead of two monitors, you have one large monitor. This further enhances immersion while gaming. How significant the differences are can also be read on the GameStar.

In the 27-inch range, Samsung already offers the Odyssey G7. According to Rtings.com, this is one of the best gaming monitors you can get for the Xbox Series X at a resolution of 1440p.

How good is the predecessor? The predecessor already managed to impress reviewers. For example, Rtings.com describes the Samsung Odyssey G9 LC49G95T as an excellent gaming monitor that impresses mainly with its good response speed and strong display. Some users primarily criticized issues with G-Sync. However, these have supposedly been resolved by now.

However, the curvature is not suitable for all uses. Due to the strong curvature, it is only suitable for gaming and office work, but not for video and image editing.

If you are enthusiasts and looking for a large monitor, keep an eye on the Odyssey G9. However, if you already own the predecessor, the successor model may not be worth it.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Further exciting monitors are also expected to follow in 2021

The manufacturer ViewSonic presented the Elite XG321UG at CES 2021 in spring. For the first time, a 32-inch monitor with UHD resolution and 144 Hz refresh rate has been introduced. The use of mini-LEDs in monitors is still a rarity in this area.

However, there is currently no official price or release date for the ViewSonic monitor. ViewSonic did not show any official pictures nor was a price mentioned. The market launch of the Elite XG321UG is expected in summer 2021.

Good gaming monitors that are currently recommended are also presented in this article. These are suitable not only for gaming PCs but also for Xbox Series X|S and PS5.

Genshin Impact continues its story – Here’s why you should check it out

Alexander Leitsch 12. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In March, the latest update 1.4 for Genshin Impact was released. In this context, the main story of the RPG has been continued today, April 12. This is especially interesting for players who have dropped out for a while but still have an interest in the story, particularly since the chapter was teased back in August 2020.

What happened? On March 17, the new patch 1.4 was released in Genshin Impact. It brought a new character, new events, and a date function.

It was already known before the release that the story surrounding Dainsleif and the Archon Quest would be continued as part of the update. However, not immediately but rather in April, specifically on April 12 at 4:00 AM.

For several hours now, Act 4: “We Will Meet Again” has been live.

Why is this interesting? The Archon Quests represent something like the main story of our character. So anyone interested in the story surrounding Genshin Impact should definitely play the new chapter.

What is particularly interesting about the new chapter is that the story “We Will Meet Again” was already teased with a trailer back in August 2020. As the name suggests, you will meet a special person in the chapter, which is one of the highlights of the story.

The corresponding trailer has been embedded here as a YouTube video:

New Story Takes You into Battle Against Terrible Monsters

What is the story about? The new chapter takes you back to the storyline surrounding the Abyss Order, a powerful legion of monsters from the abyss. They seek to combat humanity and the civilization of the surface and are considered the main antagonistic faction along with the Fatui.

The chapter begins with Ganyu and Lan telling you that the treasure keepers from Mondstadt and Liyue are meeting to investigate ruins. These are said to be connected to the Abyss Order.

Your path then leads you to these ruins and into battle with the Abyss Order.

How can one play the new story? To experience the new chapter, you must meet the following requirements:

Reach Adventure Rank 36 or higher
Complete the previous prologue quest “Bough Keeper: Dainsleif”
Complete the story quest “The Meaning of Lupical”. You receive this from the character Razor.

To start the quest, you need to travel to the Adventurers’ Guild in Liyue and speak with Ganyu there.

What’s next in Genshin Impact? The update 1.5 is expected to be released at the end of April. The special feature is housing. But beyond that, there will also be some interesting new additions.

However, not much seems to be happening in the story. As it looks, there will only be one story quest about the character Zhongli. There is also talk of more hangout quests.

Outriders: Vulnerability, Ash Effect and Weakness – This is what the status effects do

Tarek Zehrer 12. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

In Outriders there are numerous status effects from burning to poisoning. What exactly these do is shown to you by MeinMMO in this guide.

How can you create status effects? There are mainly two methods to achieve this in Outriders: your weapons and your skills. The status effects caused by weapons are mainly determined by mods, while your skills depend on the respective class.

Each status effect has a different impact and can be an important part of a build or even an entire class. For example, the skills of the Pyromancer are based on the fire element and the status effect of burning.

A build in the endgame is also based on the status effect, which we presented here: Strong Pyromancer build even completes the toughest expeditions of Outriders solo

But what status effects are there and what do they bring? We summarize this for you.

What are mods? Mods or modifications can be found in Outriders on equipment from the rare (blue) level. They give weapons and armor pieces certain effects and bonuses. This ranges from causing status effects to extra effects for your skills.

With Outriders’ generous crafting system, equipment can be modified and once unlocked mods can be placed on other equipment pieces. This allows you to build your own builds.

The 8 status effects of Outriders

These are all status effects and their effects: In total, there are 8 types of effects. These can be roughly divided into three categories:

Enemy Control

Frost: Freezes enemies for 3.5 seconds.
Ash: Freezes enemies for 2.5 seconds.
Slow: Reduces enemy speed depending on their resistance by 30-75%

Damage over Time

Burning: Deals damage every 0.5 seconds for 6 seconds. The damage corresponds to 3.7% of your anomaly power.
Poison: Deals damage every 0.5 seconds for 6 seconds. The damage corresponds to 3.5% of your anomaly power.
Bleeding: Deals damage every 0.5 seconds for 5 seconds. The damage corresponds to 2.5% of your anomaly power.

These values can also be active simultaneously.

Debuffs

Vulnerability: Enemies take 15% more damage for 10 seconds.
Weakness: Enemies deal 30% less damage for 10 seconds.

What you need to keep in mind: The status effects work as mentioned above. However, if you apply a frost effect more frequently on the same enemy, the duration is shortened. Each enemy also has their own resistance values against status effects.

Elite enemies are particularly resistant or even immune when your status effects are too weak. You should keep this in mind when building your builds around the frost effect, for example. With the right mods and equipment pieces, you can circumvent resistances.

How to enhance your status effects: For this, you can for example increase the status effect power value or your anomaly value in general. These not only affect abilities and cooldowns, but also the strength of your status effects.

This is mainly done through appropriate equipment and weapons. Pay attention to the attributes (shards) of your loot when looting.

Have you already dealt with status effects? Can you recommend particularly strong combinations or builds? Or are there effects that you find particularly useless? Feel free to write it in the comments.

The crafting system of Outriders has particularly impressed MeinMMO author Benedict. Here you can find out why: An important detail in crafting sets Outriders apart from other loot shooters

Pokémon GO: Tomorrow the Rivals Week Starts – Here’s What You Need to Know

Noah Struthoff 12. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO starts tomorrow, on April 13th, the big Rivals Week. It brings you new Pokémon, exciting Shinies, and many bonuses. Here is an overview.

How long does the Rivals Week last? It starts on Tuesday at 10:00 AM local time. You can use the bonuses until April 18th at 8:00 PM. The event lasts about 6 days, filled with bonuses.

This event is about rival Pokémon. There are some monsters in the Pokémon world that are enemies purely based on the story. They will appear more frequently during the event.

Rivals Week brings Algitt and Scampisto as new Pokémon

These are the bonuses: The list is long again this time. Here are all the bonuses:

Algitt and Scampisto are making their debut in Pokémon GO – They appear in the wild, in quests, and in raids
There is a Global Challenge mainly focused on raids
In the wild you can find: Kicklee, Nockchan, Makuhita, Meditie, Sengo, and Vipitis
In 5 km eggs, you can find: Machollo, Rabauz, Elekid, Magby, Makuhita, Meditie, Sengo, and Vipitis
In raids, you can find: Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Sengo, and Vipitis
New field research includes event Pokémon
Team Rocket appears more frequently at PokéStops
Demeteros in the Therian form appears for the first time in level 5 raids

What is a Global Challenge? Here, all players worldwide are called upon. In the case of the Rivals Week, raid battles are important. If all trainers worldwide complete a certain number of raids, double catch Stardust will be unlocked.

How special are the spawns? Some Pokémon will appear this week that are otherwise rather rare. Kicklee and Nockchan have only been available as Shiny since the Kanto Tour in February. During the event, you will get your first chance to hunt for the two Shinies outside of the Kanto Tour.

With Vipitis, you will find a regional Pokémon here that normally does not exist in Germany. So if you are still missing the Dex entry or the Shiny, you should take the chance.

Additionally, there are Algitt and Scampisto, which are at least interesting for the PokéDex. The evolutions of both Pokémon are not particularly strong. However, you can use the event to gather enough candies for the new monsters.

What should you take with you to the event? Besides the spawns, you should also challenge Demeteros in the Therian form. The legendary Pokémon is really strong and is one of the best ground attackers in the game. So you should invest some raid passes.

What comes next? After the Rivals Week, numerous events await you in April. These include raid and spotlight hours, but also an event focused on sustainability. You can find all the information about the upcoming events here:

Outriders can fill up your hard drive – Here’s what you need to pay attention to

Noah Struthoff 12. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

The loot shooter Outriders could become a real storage hog on your PC. Players report that they have up to 23 GB of unnecessary files from Outriders on their hard drives. We will show you how to avoid this.

This is the problem: Outriders struggled with massive server issues right at release. The game kept crashing, and this problem is still affecting PC players.

Players report numerous crash reports that they find in their Outriders folder. It even got to the point where a fan shared a photo on reddit showing 23 GB of crash reports filling up his hard drive.

Crash reports fill up hard drive – What to do?

How do these crash reports occur? When Outriders crashes, you are asked for a report for this crash. Normally, these reports are not permanently stored on the hard drive. With Outriders, however, this seems to be different, at least for numerous players.

This is what players show: On reddit, there are some players who are astonished by the huge amounts of data from the crash reports. A thread by Toasteroven shows a total of 23 GB of data. Under the thread, several players report having at least 10 GB of crash report data on their hard drives.

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

In this tweet, the user Toasteroven shows his used storage space.

How can you deal with this? Simply put: Just delete these files. To do this, you need to open the folder “/Users/[username]/AppData/Local/Madness/Saved/Crashes” and delete the files there. However, make sure to only delete this content, as you still need the other files in the “Saved” folder.

It may also be that you are not affected or that there is only a small amount of data in the folder.

Expect this: The developers have been dealing with technical issues since release. For example, there is a bug that steals all your loot. Although Outriders has now released patch 1.05 , problems still occur afterwards.

So expect that this error with the unnecessary occupied storage space will be fixed in one of the upcoming updates. However, if you want to clean up your hard drive right now, you can remove the file.

What else is going on in Outriders? There are also many positive news about the loot shooter, as the game content is generally well received. The hunt for legendary weapons is popular, for example. We show you how you can guarantee getting 3 of the weapons:

Outriders: Strong Pyromancer Build Even Conquers the Hardest Expeditions Solo

Tarek Zehrer 12. April 2021 Reading time 5 minutes

Anomaly is considered a value in Outriders that is rather weak in the endgame, especially at Challenge Rank 15. A YouTuber has now presented a build for the Pyromancer that proves the opposite and even works solo.

What can the Pyromancer do? This is the “Fire Mage” of Outriders. It is considered a support class and can keep enemy groups at bay and burn them with its fire skills.

At the same time, it has the reputation of being strong only in groups and has some disadvantages when playing solo. However, YouTuber Chadly99 shows that it can be done differently and has presented a build for the endgame that allows you to play the Pyromancer solo.

The build works without the ammunition skill, which was weakened in the latest patch of Outriders and is mainly based on properly heating up your enemies with Anomaly power. MeinMMO shows you what you need for it.

What is Anomaly power? This is the value that determines the strength of your melee attacks, abilities, and status effects. Some players believe that this value performs poorly in the endgame compared to weapon strength.

Because while you can constantly use your weapons, skills are subject to a cooldown and cannot be used continuously.

Pyromancer Build – Skill Tree, Abilities, Equipment

What kind of build is this? Chadly99 uses a combination of the subclasses Firestorm and Incinerator for the Pyromancer.

True to the motto of the class, the build is designed to burn as many enemies as possible. The perks significantly increase Anomaly damage, meaning that not only skills deal more damage, but burn damage increases as well.

According to Chadly99, the build is excellent for solo players and is also very useful in a group. Apparently, with this build, he is also able to complete expeditions alone at the highest challenge rank 15. With the build, he completed the mission Chem Plant in under 9 minutes.

These perks you need:

Archmage (x3)
- Increases your Anomaly power by 6%
Burning World
- Reduces the reload time of your Explosivity ability by 15%
Gifted (x2)
- Increases weapon damage and Anomaly power by 5%
Accumulation of the Mark
- Increases your ability damage against marked enemies by 8%
Melting (x2)
- Burning deals 20% more damage to enemies
Firewalk (Link skill between the subclasses)
- Reduces the cooldown of all your abilities by 10%
Erasure (Link skill between the subclasses)
- Increases damage against enemies with less than 30% health by 20%
Magma Golem (x3)
- Increases your health by 10%
Insatiable (x2)
- Increases your life leech from abilities by 6%
Kindling the Ember
- Doubles life leech from abilities when your health falls below 30% of your max health.
Warming Up
- Reduces the cooldown of Ignition abilities by 15%
Trial by Fire
- Enemies affected by burning take 15% more damage
Magma Elemental
- Activating Ignition abilities increases your armor penetration by 45% and your resistance penetration by 45% for 10 seconds

The Skills of the Pyromancer Build

Heat Wave: A wave of fire that deals damage and burns all affected enemies. Can also hit through walls.
Eruption: A volcanic explosion that deals massive damage to enemies in a small radius. The explosion also leaves lava behind that deals extra damage over time.
Living Bomb: A homing bomb that interrupts enemies, stops them for a while, deals damage over time, and also burns. If an enemy dies during this time, it explodes and deals damage in a large area.

This is how it is played: Heat Wave and Thermal Bomb can even be used through covers and walls. You only need to leave cover for the use of Eruption. Through the passive bonuses, you deal massive fire damage.

Weapons, Armor, Mods

As this is an endgame build, mostly legendary armor pieces and weapons are used here. Keep in mind that it can be difficult to create such a build.

These weapons used by the YouTuber: The main weapon of the build is the legendary shotgun “Deathshield”. It comes with the mod Fortress, which provides up to 43% bonus damage based on your armor. Additionally, Chadly99 has rolled the perk “Shadow Comet” onto the weapon via modification.

This mod allows a comet to rain down on your enemies and deals powerful damage. The secondary weapon is less important, but you should also have Shadow Comet on it. This way, you can constantly switch between the weapons and let a comet rain down each time.

These are the optimal armor pieces: Again, legendary equipment pieces are used here. Chadly99 uses three parts of the “Acari” set and two epic equipment pieces. This is how it looks:

Acari Helmet
- Fire Tsunami: Your Heat Wave hits a larger area
- Ride The Wave: You can use Heat Wave one more time before the cooldown sets in.
Acari Armor
- Power Assimilation: Your Anomaly power is increased for each elite enemy on the field by a certain amount.
Acari Waist Ring
- Tidal Wave: You can use Heat Wave one more time before the cooldown sets in.
- Anomaly Echo: When you activate a skill, you gain a bonus to your weapon strength and Anomaly power for 15 seconds.
Acari Set Bonus: Every enemy hit by Heat Wave gives you a 50% bonus to your Anomaly power for 10 seconds.

Use only the helmet, chest, and waist ring of the set. The gloves and shoes of the set are not suitable for the build. Therefore, he also relies on epic items for this build:

Epic Gloves
- Fire Frenzy: You can use Living Bomb one more time before the cooldown sets in.
- Branded: Enemies affected by Living Bomb take 40% more damage.
Epic Boots
- Burnt-Out: Enemies hit by Heat Wave suffer 25% more damage for 8 seconds.
- Damage Absorber: Increases armor and resistance by 10%

For the attributes, you should focus on Anomaly power, status power, and cooldown reduction. If you haven’t found any of these legendary equipment pieces yet, you can also look for epic equipment pieces that at least have similar modifications.

How the build is played, you can see in the video by Chadly99:

What other classes are there? Besides the Pyromancer, you can also choose from the following classes in Outriders:

Technomancer
Assassin
Devastator

Each class can play various roles. The Technomancer, for example, is considered an all-rounder who can support but also deal substantial damage. The Assassin is a nimble assassin who manipulates space and time, slows down enemies, and takes them down in close combat.

The Devastator is regarded as a tank and can influence gravity. In doing so, it unleashes powerful attacks on foes with earthquakes and other strong abilities.

This could mean Ryzen 7000 is a real upgrade for budget gamers in 2022

Benedikt Schlotmann 12. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

A leak about AMD’s latest processors reveals that mid-range processors with graphics chips are also expected. This could be a good alternative for gamers hoping for falling prices in components. MeinMMO explains why AMD’s Ryzen 7000 could be a good and cheaper upgrade for gamers than a graphics card in the future.

A leak has now revealed some details about AMD’s new Ryzen 7000 processors (Videocardz.com). The new processors are expected to feature “Zen4” architecture and run under the name “Raphael”.

The latest leak also shows that AMD might incorporate a graphics chip with Navi2 architecture into its latest processors. Processors with a powerful graphics chip should particularly interest gamers who are not willing to spend a lot of money on a graphics card. At least, this can be seen on a roadmap.

This map has not yet been confirmed by AMD.

https://twitter.com/Olrak29_/status/1378726252941438983

So far, AMD offers various Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). With these so-called combo processors, AMD refers to processors that provide a graphics chip in addition to the actual CPU. The PC can thus start even without an additional graphics card, and some games can also be played with it.

If the leak is to be believed, further AMD processors with powerful graphics chips could follow. This would be a strong statement, especially at a time when graphics cards are hardly available. Because so far, it is also not known how long the low availability will last.

Lack of graphics cards could give combo processors a boost

Those who currently want to buy a fast graphics card have to pay hefty surcharges. Because hardly any graphics card is currently really affordable. They often cost double the recommended retail price. Also, older graphics cards are currently not a recommended purchase if you are looking for a new graphics card.

If AMD now equips mid-range processors with powerful graphics chips, it could definitely appeal to some gamers currently searching for a reasonable alternative to modern graphics cards. Especially for bridging the current shortage phase, such a combo processor is worth considering right now.

With Ryzen 3 3200G and Ryzen 5 3400G, there are currently entry-level processors with decent performance, especially in the low-budget segment.

There are already several combo processors from Ryzen 5000, but these are installed in pre-built PCs and are not easily available for self-builders.

AMD’s Ryzen APUs primarily target budget gamers

What is the advantage? A computer with a combo processor can also start without an installed graphics card. Even playing some games is possible without any issues. For those who play casual titles or more E-Sports titles like League of Legends, Dota, and others, an APU is still a good alternative. Basically, you save additional money here.

Additionally, the APUs also fit on the standard socket. Since a graphics chip is already integrated, these processors can also be easily installed in compact computers, as you do not need to fit a large graphics card into the PC.

What is the disadvantage? Those who want to game at high resolutions and with high details are currently at a disadvantage with combo processors. Also, the CPU performance is on average below that of regular processors since both share the space on the socket.

AMD’s APUs also do not have their own video memory. Instead, the processor has to rely on the system’s DDR4 RAM. This memory is not as fast as video memory.

Currently, prices in this area are also slightly rising, but they are still at a relatively affordable level. They are still far from the excessively high prices of new graphics cards.

What do you think? Would a fast gaming APU be an alternative for you, or do you definitely want a graphics card? On MeinMMO, you told us that you are indeed willing to spend a lot of money on a graphics card.

2021 will still bring a big MMORPG – now presenting its 1st cool class

Alexander Leitsch 12. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The Chinese MMORPG Swords of Legends Online (SOLO) had barely any players from the West in sight at the end of 2020. However, it was announced last week that it is scheduled to be released in summer 2021. We at MeinMMO have received preview material to introduce you to the first class, the Reaper.

What kind of game is this? Swords of Legends Online is a theme park MMORPG that focuses on an ancient Chinese story about a demonic sword. In the game, you can:

Complete quests that feature voiced cutscenes (in English)
Visit dungeons and raids
Ride various animals
Decorate your own houses
Engage in PvP in designated areas

The release of Swords of Legends is planned for summer 2021 on Epic Games and Steam, with an alpha and beta testing phase to take place beforehand. The MMORPG will be Buy2Play and is expected to have a shop with purely cosmetic items.

At launch, the game will feature 6 classes, including the Reaper, which we would like to introduce to you in this article.

The Reaper is an assassin who can also heal

What is the Reaper? The Reaper is a disciple of an ancient clan living in a purple underground temple. In combat, the class uses a scythe that enables the creation of massive whirlwinds of darkness.

Each class in Swords of Legends offers two paths along which you can develop the class. These are particularly interesting for the Reaper:

On one hand, you can choose an assassin path. There you gain access to powerful curses, toxic companion creatures, and lightning-fast scythe attacks, allowing you to mercilessly mow down enemies. Additionally, there are abilities that let you sneak up on opponents unnoticed.
The second path, however, turns the Reaper into an occultist. This allows you to sacrifice your own blood to heal and support allies. You can also enhance team members with specially bred insects and grant them supernatural abilities. Moreover, damage from allies can be redirected to yourself.

You can freely switch between class paths outside of combat.

To give you an insight into the class, we received gameplay for the Reaper in advance and uploaded it to YouTube.

In it, you can already see the fast attacks and the characteristic purple effects that define the Reaper. Towards the end of the video, you can also see the support abilities:

Spear Master – A melee fighter

What exactly each class can do will likely be revealed in the coming weeks leading up to the release. By the way, each class starts in its own starting area after the tutorial.

Players in Outriders still lose all loot – This is what you must know

Schuhmann 12. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

In Outriders , unfortunate players have been suffering tremendously. Due to a bug in the game, it takes away all items: hardcore players lose over 100 hours of progress. Even after the first patch, the problem persists. The developers have been putting in extra hours, but they haven’t been able to fully eliminate the bug. However, the team has a tip on what to do if you encounter the bug.

What kind of bug is it? The error is every player’s nightmare in a loot shooter: it is an “Inventory Wipe Bug.” This bug takes away all collected items from a player in Outriders.

Players log in to Outriders as usual, then see their naked character on the login screen, but cannot log that character in anymore.

The problem has existed since the launch of Outriders on April 1. It seems to randomly affect people; it’s unclear how this happens and what exactly triggers the bug.

Problem persists despite the first patch

Wasn’t it fixed? Well, at least that’s what the developers said. In the patch notes for the first swift patch on Thursday, the developers stated that they had repaired the bug.

However, that was a hasty success announcement.

As seen in numerous reports on Reddit from Friday and Saturday, the bug was still active over the weekend.

Players report that they have lost everything. For those who are already in the endgame, up to 100 hours can disappear into thin air.

The frustration among affected players is high. They announce that they will delete Outriders. Because what are they supposed to do now? Without items, they can’t farm new ones, if they are even allowed to log back into the game.

The bitter thing about the bug is: it hits hardest those who particularly enjoy Outriders.

The release was on April 1
Anyone who has already spent 80 or even 100 hours in the game by April 10 has been working on Outriders like a “job” for the last 2 weeks, putting in 40 or 50 hour weeks

If you are affected by the bug, you can hope to get your items back, but probably not everything:

Outriders will give you back your lost loot, but not everything

Particularly mean: none expected to be affected by the bug anymore. The developers had said they had repaired the bug in the patch.

Outriders fixes exploit that gave players too many legendary items

Developers respond again on Sunday, reducing frequency

This is how the developers reacted again: On Sunday, the developers got in touch via Twitter. They said they had taken additional measures to resolve the issue.

However, it only states that they have “reduced the frequency of the issue” – the bug is not gone yet. The team will continue to work on the problem.

Anyone who still gets affected by the “Investor Wipe Bug” after the second fix is advised to report it, according to the team.

In fact, reports show that the bug still occurs even now, on Monday. Anyone who is unlucky can still lose all items in Outriders.

The team says they have reduced the frequency of wipes. However, the problem still exists.

What you can do if you encounter the bug and all items are gone

Can anything be done about the problem? The developers suggest: as soon as you encounter the bug that causes your equipment to disappear, immediately quit the game and reboot afterwards. You should perform a “hard shutdown”.

If you are affected by the bug, you can hope to get your items back, but probably not everything:

Outriders will give you back your lost loot, but not everything

Does Blizzard land the next retro hit with Diablo 2? This is what alpha testers say

Andreas Bertits 12. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The technical alpha of Diablo 2: Resurrected provided a first glimpse into the remaster of the classic. Testers are largely enthusiastic and surprised that while the action RPG feels like before, it plays slightly differently. Blizzard seems to be landing the next retro hit after WoW Classic with Diablo 2.

What did the first alpha have to offer? From April 8 to April 12, the technical alpha of the single-player part of Diablo 2: Resurrected took place. Those who managed to get a key were able to play the first two acts of the story and test the improved graphics and quality-of-life changes in detail.

A second alpha focusing on the multiplayer part is yet to follow.

Alpha removes skepticism for many testers regarding Diablo 2

How was the alpha received? While there was some skepticism before the start of the testing phase, the majority of testers are now enthusiastic. The skepticism stemmed from the rather failed Warcraft 3: Reforged. The remaster of Blizzard’s strategy game was received very poorly by many veterans.

However, the situation looks different for Diablo 2: Resurrected after the alpha. Here, we summarize some opinions from the gaming press:

Polygon editor Ben Kuchera writes in his article (via Polygon): “This is not the Diablo I played as a child, but it still feels like a warm blanket on a cool night.”
Gamespot editor Michael Higham believes (via Gamespot): “Diablo 2 Resurrected shows all the signs that it will preserve the unique RPG many of us fondly remember.”
Ars Technica editor Sam Machkovech explains (via Ars Technica): “I’m excited that D2:R feels like the Diablo of old – and I’m looking forward to the promised multiplayer alpha test, because the old-school clunkiness of the game is much more rewarding when experienced with a group of like-minded friends.”
Brandon Adams from Attack of the Fanboy writes (via Attack of the Fanboy): “Nothing from Diablo 2 has been removed or fundamentally reworked in Resurrected. If anything, this remaster sometimes feels like it’s playing it a bit too safe.”
Mitchell Saltzmann from IGN believes (via IGN): “Yes, the core of Diablo 2 still holds up 20 years after the original’s release, even though there are some significant frustrations caused by certain outdated design issues. Overall, Diablo 2: Resurrected is very promising despite its alpha phase.”

Our colleagues from GameStar streamed live from the alpha. You can watch a video of it here:

The community is also excited about the release

What does the community think of the game? Players who are not from the gaming press also had the opportunity to check out the alpha of Diablo 2: Resurrected.

m43h from the MeinMMO community explains (via MeinMMO): “I am by no means disappointed, I played Diablo 2 nearly 20 years ago and still play it today. I think it’s great what Blizzard is putting together, really cool!”
ShadeScapes is very happy (via reddit): “It looks fantastic and feels exactly like I wished a remake would be.”
darthreuental is still somewhat skeptical (via reddit): “My main concern is that this will just be D2 with a new coat of paint. And I understand that – I really do. The demand for it is huge. But whether people love it or hate it, there are a lot of features that Diablo 3 introduced that I will sorely miss.”
TOPCommander believes (via official D2R forum): “D2R feels like D3LOD 1.14d and plays that way too. And so far, that is fantastic.”
Shivan is not so thrilled about the alpha (via official D2R forum): “I prefer the original D2 Classic and LoD over this version. It’s too clunky or tedious to play this version of the great D2.”

What is well received? Testers especially praise the detailed graphics and lighting of Diablo 2: Resurrected. Some of the quality-of-life changes are also well received:

The larger and shared stash
The gold pickup
The overview of all stats of items
More information about the mercenaries, so you know which one to choose

What is less well received? Besides the redesign of the enemy Blood Raven, which is met with some criticism, the following things are criticized about the alpha of Diablo 2: Resurrected:

Loading times could be shorter
Some skill effects do not feel powerful enough yet
There are too many popups regarding quest progress
It does not play as smoothly and comfortably for non-veterans as Diablo 3

Did you also have the opportunity to check out the alpha of Diablo 2 Resurrected? What is your impression of the remaster of the hack ‘n’ slash classic?

We also reveal everything you need to know about the release of Diablo 2: Resurrected as a remaster.

Tiny studio sues Activision Blizzard over CoD Warzone – The complaints back

Schuhmann 12. April 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

The huge gaming publisher Activision Blizzard is going to court in California. They want to get a cease and desist declaration. A developer says they have violated the rights to his brand “Warzone” with Call of Duty: Warzone. Activision Blizzard appears to be pretty snarky in court. They apparently see it as a lèse-majesté to be compared to such a game.

What kind of case is this? There is a browser game called “Warzone Idle”. The game clearly markets the parallels to the popular board game “Risk” by Hasbro.

The browser game launched in 2020. The operator of the game, someone named Fizzer, issued a cease and desist to Activision Blizzard in the same year, protesting that they in turn want to protect the brand “Warzone”:

Activision Blizzard wanted to protect the brand “Warzone” in June 2020, as a downloadable video game and as an entertainment service.
The developer Fizzer also wanted to protect the brand “Warzone”. He was 4 months later, his application came in October 2020.
Fizzer says: “Activision’s claim to the brand already causes affected customers to confuse the two brands and be misled. And that will continue to happen.”
In November 2020, Fizzer therefore sent a cease and desist to Activision Blizzard, noting that it was within his rights to prohibit Activision Blizzard from using the brand “WARZONE” and to seek financial compensation because Activision Blizzard violated his rights.

“Unimaginable that anyone could confuse the two games”

This is how Activision Blizzard reacts: They don’t seem to see that anyone could confuse their military shooter with the risk game.

They write to the court in a current filing:

Call of Duty Warzone could not be more different from the defendant’s game, a “low-budget, niche, virtual board game that resembles Hasbro’s Risk.”

It is inconceivable that any member of the public could confuse the two products or come to the idea that the two products are in any way related.

Activision Blizzard asks the court to determine that they have not violated Fizzer’s rights and that the rights to “Warzone” be granted to them.

Normally it is Activision Blizzard that issues cease and desist notices:

New World introduces 4th new weapon – This is what makes it so special

Alexander Leitsch 12. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

A short video teased the latest weapon in New World. It is Ice Gauntlets, which you can use to harness magical abilities.

Update April 21: In the meantime, New World has introduced the two skill trees of the new weapon:

The Ice Storm tree focuses on dealing damage and restricting enemy movement.
The Ice Wizard tree focuses on controlling enemy groups, protecting allies, and summoning an ice pillar that fights alongside the player and increases their power and efficiency.

Additionally, the attack values of the Ice Gauntlets are expected to scale with the attribute “Intelligence”.

More information about the new Alpha update can be found here: New World brings back open-world PvP with a new update, but differently

What kind of weapon is this? The Ice Gauntlets were introduced in a short teaser on Twitter. They can be equipped normally and allow you to attack enemies with ice attacks.

What the gauntlets can do exactly was not explained in the teaser. However, the approximate skills can be inferred from the video:

The glove can summon an icicle that attacks enemies
With another attack, icicles emerge from the ground and push enemies back
The third ability seems to be a kind of “Ice Fire” that the character can summon in front of them

How was the weapon introduced? To be able to see the glove at all, a tweet had to be retweeted at least 200 times. This original tweet has now received over 2,300 retweets, and accordingly, the video of the Ice Gauntlets was released as promised:

What makes the weapon special? It is notable that the glove breaks a bit from the usual pattern of weapons. While there has been magic in the game before, most weapons have a more traditional style, such as hammers, swords, or bows.

Also, the associated abilities did not place much emphasis on special magical effects, but revolved around quicker attacks or jumping at enemies. So, effects were not expected in New World.

The only exception to this was the fire staff, which already created larger fire fields. The Ice Gauntlets are now the appropriate counterpart to that and increase the number of available weapons.

Many new weapons since the test in summer 2020

What weapons does New World offer? During the test in summer 2020, there were 7 weapons: hammer, sword, axe, bow, musket, fire staff, and life staff. Since then, four more weapons have been added:

In October 2020, the developers announced the spear as a new weapon. It can be used both in melee and thrown
In December, the war axe was added. It can hit an enemy multiple times directly or bring significant AoE damage.
Another weapon was introduced in early 2021: the rapier. Here, bleeding damage and dodging are emphasized.
The last new weapon is the Ice Gauntlets introduced here.

Together with the new weapons, the combat system has been significantly revised. Weapons no longer share cooldowns, and the dynamics have generally improved.

New World brings many new features: Those who follow the news around New World may have already stumbled upon some new features, including a new Asian territory, fishing, or the first dungeons that are now set to come.

Together with many adjustments to the combat system, crafting, quests, and the behavior of NPCs, New World now sounds particularly interesting on paper, especially for theme park fans. We at MeinMMO have also discussed this development in a column: New World is increasingly becoming a theme park MMORPG, and that is a good thing.

Whether the development is actually good and whether New World can convince will likely be revealed in July 2021. The beta is then set to start. The release of the MMO is planned for the end of August. We at MeinMMO will of course closely follow New World before and after the release.

One of the biggest YouTubers about Pokémon GO says: “Eggs are a scam”

Noah Struthoff 12. April 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The American YouTuber Nicholas “Trainer Tips” Oyzon openly criticizes Pokémon GO. He says “Eggs are a scam” and complains about the exclusivity of the Pokémon.

This is what happened: Trainer Tips uploaded a video on April 9 titled “Pokémon GO Eggs are a scam”. In it, he talks for 20 minutes about the problems he has with the eggs in the game. He frequently compares it to loot boxes. Many trainers have made this comparison before him.

For Trainer Tips, the exclusivity of certain Pokémon in the eggs is a major issue, which is why he hardly hatches eggs anymore.

Who exactly is Trainer Tips? The American YouTuber has been one of the biggest voices on YouTube regarding the game since the release of Pokémon GO. He currently has 972,000 subscribers, making him part of the Top 5 largest YouTubers for Pokémon GO.

Trainer Tips usually gives tips about the game in his videos and showcases gameplay from his California life. He analyzes things and tends to take a slower and more careful approach.

Eggs used to be useful – now they are just disappointing

This is the video: If you want to watch Trainer Tips’ video in full length, we embed it here for you:

Link to the YouTube content

What problem does Trainer Tips have with eggs? For the YouTuber, it’s primarily about exclusivity. There are numerous Pokémon that can only be obtained by hatching eggs. The first were the baby Pokémon, then followed the Alolan forms, and now there are even regular Pokémon that are exclusive to eggs – here he mentions the 3 Gen-5 Pokémon that are only available in 12 km eggs.

The new highlight is an event Wonneira, which appears very rarely and exclusively in eggs.

Trainer Tips believes that the exclusivity in the eggs increases the incentive to hatch the special eggs. If you then get one of the desired monsters, it feels similar to landing a hit in another loot box.

Regarding this, Trainer Tips says: “When you buy incubators, you’re paying for a chance to get something you want, and the chances are low. When it happens, it feels good in your brain, and you want more.”

Here, too, the comparison with loot boxes comes in. They work very similarly, which is why there are many restrictions on them. Trainer Tips believes that this is especially dangerous for children who also play Pokémon GO.

What does Trainer Tips hope to achieve with this? The YouTuber tells his viewers in the video to reconsider their behavior when hatching eggs. Is it really worth the money you invest? Do you really need all the Pokémon from the eggs?

He himself has decided that he will no longer hatch eggs with purchased incubators. He says it’s just not worth it anymore. The chance of getting a special Pokémon that is ideally shiny is just too low for him.

Are eggs really a problem in Pokémon GO? Trainer Tips’ criticism is justified. The comparison with loot boxes is obvious and numerous trainers have already made it. Niantic has already responded to the criticism and at least implemented a system where you can roughly see the chances of Pokémon.

Ultimately, however, it must also be said that eggs are not strictly necessary. Trainer Tips himself emphasized that he no longer hatches eggs with purchased incubators. There is an infinite incubator that can be reused over and over. Additionally, you can also obtain strong Pokémon without hatching eggs. Thus, hatching doesn’t necessarily give you a great advantage in the game.

How do you see the eggs? And do you still regularly buy incubators?

Another contentious issue in Pokémon GO is the cheaters. Do they really have such significant advantages? Here you can participate in our survey on this:
