Eilyn Rapp 7. February 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

Fortnite introduced the Crew subscription with the launch of Season 5. This is on a monthly basis, but how can you cancel it if you no longer want to participate? We will show you how to cancel the Crew subscription on PS4, Xbox, Switch, and PC.

What is this subscription? Since December 2, 2020, the Crew subscription has been available. For players who choose to become part of the Crew, there are a few goodies each month, which are also exclusive to subscription holders.

The subscription costs you 11.99 euros per month – this amount is due as long as you remain part of the Crew. In return, you get these items every month:

Access to the current Battle Pass
1,000 V-Bucks per month, which is about 8 euros equivalent
Additionally, there is an exclusive skin pack available each month, which is only available for subscribers

Choose the best class from Destiny 2 with us

Philipp Hansen 6. February 2021 Reading time 5 minutes

In Destiny 2 können Hunters, Titans und Warlocks aus insgesamt 12 Subklassen wählen. MeinMMO möchte wissen, welche dabei eurer Meinung nach die beste ist – die neuen Stasis-Klassen oder doch die altbewährten Licht-Fokusse?

Ihr wählt in Destiny 2 nicht nur aus, ob ihr als stoischer Titan, geschickter Hunter oder zauberhafter Warlock loszieht. Ihr habt zudem die Qual der Wahl aus mittlerweile 12 Subklassen, auch Fokusse genannt.

Jeder Klasse stehen davon 4 unterschiedliche Spezialisierungen zur Verfügung, die sich durch ihre Fähigkeiten und das zugehörige Element unterscheiden.
Die Spielweise ändert sich spürbar und es macht einen Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht, welche Subklasse ihr ausrüstet.

Das ist neu: Seit wir das letzte Mal von euch wissen wollten, welcher Fokus der beste und beliebteste ist, hat sich einiges getan. Zu den bekannten 9 Licht-Klassen sind 3 Stasis-Klassen dazugekommen. Seit Beyond Light experimentieren Hunters, Warlocks und Titans erstmals mit den fiesen Eiskräften der Dunkelheit. Stasis-Kräfte sind das erste neue Element in Destiny überhaupt und sorgen für reichlich Aufsehen bei den Spielern.

Alle 12 Subklassen für eure Guardians im Schnelldurchlauf

Bevor ihr selbst entscheidet, welche Subklassen nun die besten im PvE und PvP sind, stellen wir euch alle 12 kurz vor. Wir betrachten dabei jeden Element-Fokus als Ganzes. Ihr findet hier also für jede Klasse den Solar-, Arkus, Leere- und Stasis-Fokus.

Wer wissen will, welche Klasse 2020 hoch im Kurs stand, wird her fündig: Die Subklassen von Destiny 2 im Ranking

Fokusse für den Hunter

Revolverheld: Dieser Fokus erinnert an einen einsamen Cowboy, der nicht viel spricht, aber schnell zieht und nie sein Ziel verfehlt. Ihr könnt entweder mit eurer Goldenen Kanone alles zum Schweigen bringen oder das letzte Wort mit euren brennenden Wurfmessern haben.

Arkusakrobat: Als eine der wohl agilsten Subklassen im Spiel weicht ihr gegnerischen Treffern mühelos aus oder pariert feindliche Attacken. Ihr tänzelt eure Feinde akrobatisch aus und schlagt mit Stab und Blitzen zu.

Nachtpirscher: Diese Vertreter sind richtige Großwildjäger und dank ihrer Fallen und Verwirrungstechniken ihren Feinden stets überlegen. Keine andere Klasse spielt sich so hinterhältig und nutzt die Leere für gemeinere Attacken mit Bogen oder Dolchen.

Wiedergänger: Durch Stasis werden Hunters zu Eis-Ninjas. Ihr werft eure beiden Kama-Sicheln und Shuriken, um Feinde zu verlangsamen und einzufrieren. Habt ihr das Schlachtfeld bewegungsunfähig gemacht, lasst ihr Wirbelstürme oder fiese Sprungattacken los, um alles zu zersplittern.

Fokusse für den Titanen

Sonnenbezwinger: Diese Titans wollen die Welt einfach nur brennen sehen. Eure mächtigen Kriegshämmer hinterlassen nichts als Schutt, Asche und verbrannte Erde. Das Feuer verzehrt eure Feinde und stärkt eure Verbündeten.

Stürmer: Als Stürmer fühlt ihr euch mitten in der Gegnerhorde am wohlsten und richtet dort Chaos an. Diese Titans stehen ständig unter Strom und können von nichts und niemandem gestoppt werden.

Sentinel: Nicht alle können so stark wie Titanen sein, daher beschützen Sentinels gleich das ganze Team mit ihren undurchdringlichen Schilden. Diese können sie aber auch meisterhaft als Waffe nutzen und machen selbst Captain America neidisch.

Koloss: Stasis-Titanen hüllen sich in einen Eispanzer, was ihnen enorme Schadens-Reduktion gewährt. Sie schlagen dann mit ihren gefrorenen Fäusten zu und sind – anders als vermutet – enorm schnell. Auf Knopfdruck lasst ihr Gletscher entstehen, die ihr natürlich in tausend Splitter zerhaut.

Fokusse für den Warlock

Dämmerklinge: Wer braucht schon Knarren, wenn er brennende Schwerter sowie Flügel hat? Die Dämmerklinge kann über dem Schlachtfeld fliegen und es Feuer regnen lassen oder wahlweise das ganze Team heilen sowie durch Feuermagie verstärken.

Sturmbeschwörer: Diese Warlocks kontrollieren die Elektrizität und rufen auf Knopfdruck ein Gewitter herbei. Über die mickrigen Blitz-Finger des bösen Imperators aus Star Wars können Sturmbeschwörer nur lachen und nebenbei haben sie das “Kamehameha” aus Dragonball perfektioniert.

Leere-Läufer: Mithilfe der Dunkelheit zerbrechen Leere-Läufer die Realität und lassen mit ihrer Nova-Bombe alles hochgehen. Wahlweise werden sie selbst zur Bombe und heilen sich durch die angerichtete Zerstörung.

Schattenbinder: Stasis-Warlocks bringen alles zum Stillstand. Dazu schwingen die Eis-Magier ihren Zauberstab und frieren Feinde auf alle erdenklichen Weisen ein. In der Super schweben sie dann und zerschmettern alle zur Eissäule erstarrten Gegner auf dem Schlachtfeld.

Umfrage: Welcher Fokus ist euer Favorit 2021 in Destiny 2?

So funktioniert die Abstimmung: Jetzt seid ihr gefragt. Wählt aus den insgesamt 12 Subklassen euren absoluten Favoriten. Beachtet bitte: Ihr habt dabei 2 Stimmen!

Wir teilen die Umfrage in die beste Klasse fürs PvE (Kampf gegen Computer-gesteuerte Feinde) und die beste Klasse fürs PvP (Duelle gegen andere Guardians) auf. Vergesst also nicht, eure Stimme für beide Aspekte des Games abzugeben.

Danke für eure Zeit!

Sagt uns doch in den Kommentaren auch, warum ihr euch so entschieden habt. Dort könnt ihr mit anderen Lesern auch darüber diskutieren, welche konkreten Spezialisierungen für euch die besten sind. Uns hilft es bei der Auswertung enorm, wenn wir nachvollziehen können, was die Klasse in euren Augen so stark macht.

BlizzConline 2021: What can we expect from our games?

Cortyn 6. February 2021 Reading time 5 minutes

Coming soon, BlizzConline 2021 will take place. We will look at what the event could bring and what you can look forward to.

In 2020, BlizzCon was canceled. The reason for this was, as with so much, the Corona pandemic. However, the developer still wants to host a celebration and has come up with BlizzConline 2021. This is almost at the door, as it will take place in less than two weeks. But what can one hope for from BlizzConline and what will likely have no news? We list for you what BlizzConline could hold – and when.

What will be presented at BlizzConline?

In principle, the exact contents of BlizzConline are still a secret; so far, it is not known what exactly will be presented. However, some grounded speculations can already be made that make quite a bit of sense.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands: For Shadowlands, it is already relatively clear what the BlizzCon will be about. The focus is likely to be the reveal of at least one major patch, perhaps even two at once. After all, Blizzard is already preparing Patch 9.0.5 on the PTR. However, it is clear that there will be new information about the progression of the story, and we will find out how Blizzard plans to address the current issues facing Shadowlands.

WoW Classic: The story of WoW Classic has come to an end; Naxxramas has been defeated. But players are already eagerly eyeing the first expansion “The Burning Crusade Classic.” Many surveys have already indicated this in advance. An announcement of the release is considered almost assured, along with plans on how it will work with the current servers.

Hearthstone: So far, nothing is known about the expansions of Hearthstone for 2021 – so an expansion will almost certainly be presented. At the same time, the developers have already let slip that they are working on a completely new game mode, which will be introduced in addition to duels and battlegrounds. A first glimpse of it could increase the enjoyment of the card game again.

Diablo Immortal: The mobile offshoot of Diablo is expected to be released later this year. Thus, more can be expected about gameplay and story, perhaps also concrete hints about the release and possible changes made in response to the beta test.

Overwatch (2): Possibly a new hero or a new map. One shouldn’t expect much more here, as Overwatch 2 is likely still a work in progress. Maybe there will be some insights into the development or already some information about a rough release window.

Warcraft Mobile? Just recently, Blizzard has emphasized once again that they are working on several mobile offshoots from the Warcraft franchise. Some of these are allegedly already in “advanced development.” It is conceivable that we might catch a first glimpse of a prototype.

What won’t come? Bad news for fans who were looking forward to Diablo IV. It has already been mentioned in advance during an earnings call that Diablo IV should not be expected this year. However, there might be some new information after all.

Also, information about StarCraft is likely to be absent; after all, the development of StarCraft 2 has been discontinued. It is still too early to announce a new title here.

How to participate in BlizzConline?

BlizzConline is free: Unlike the usual BlizzCon, where you have to purchase a virtual ticket for access, this is not the case with BlizzConline. All streams and announcements are open to everyone, there is no paywall.

Additionally, the corresponding streams will still be available for viewing after the release, should you want to take another look at the details.

For those who want to avoid spending money but still want to get through such a presentation, they can purchase one of Blizzard’s anniversary packages and get many digital goodies. Alternatively, you can crown yourself for 300 US dollars as the new Lich King. However, this is not necessary.

Where can you watch? Watching BlizzConline can be done in several ways, but the easiest is through the official BlizzConline website. There, all channels are listed and you can easily switch between them as soon as they are available.

The most important dates – When is what coming?

Traditionally, BlizzCon spans several days. On the first day, the big announcements and presentations usually take place, while on day 2, detailed information is spread and community events are held. So you should expect the “big hits” most likely on the night from Friday to Saturday.

Friday, February 19 starting at 11:00 PM

Opening Ceremony: Here all the highlights will be rapidly presented. The big announcements and plans will be introduced briefly and succinctly. If you want to have “the most important things” in short, don’t miss the start.

Deep Dives: Individual, focused contributions on individual games. Those who want to learn more about the updates and plans from the opening ceremony in detail will be happy in the Deep Dives, as they find everything about their respective favorite game.

Opening ceremony and deep dives afterwards are expected to last about 3 hours – until 2:00 AM at night. In total, there are 6 different channels you can choose from.

Saturday, February 20 starting at 9:00 PM

Q&As: In these “questions and answers” sessions, the developers respond to comments and questions that have arisen from the previous day. Thus, there are even more details and insights into Blizzard’s plans, and you can get a more precise picture of what the updates are all about.

Community Events: These are more like events that only tangentially relate to updates. Mostly, it is about cosplayers, musicians, or other artists who present their creations related to the various Blizzard games and are honored.

A detailed schedule with the exact times has not yet been made available. As soon as it is revealed, we will certainly report on it.

Will you stay up all night for BlizzConline? Or do you have no big expectations and’ll read calmly the next day about what was presented?

After 7 years, I am canceling my subscription to Final Fantasy XIV for the first time

Irina Moritz 6. February 2021 Reading time 5 minutes

Final Fantasy XIV has announced its new expansion Endwalker. However, MeinMMO author Irina Moritz will still put her subscription on hold this summer. And that is not a big problem.

This was the expansion announcement: The night of February 5 to 6 was something very special for many thousands of FFXIV players around the world. In an Announcement Showcase, the new expansion Endwalker was finally revealed.

In a stream, the director of the MMORPG, Naoki Yoshida, presented the cool teaser trailer, new playable healer job, and other cool features of the upcoming expansion.

I followed the announcement just like many others, even though the stream here in Germany started at 2:30 AM. And while the conclusion of the story and new features sound exciting, for the first time in over 7 years and 800 days of playtime, I will de-subscribe from Final Fantasy XIV.

More on the topic

Final Fantasy XIV brings new expansion Endwalker – release date and all information

von Alexander Leitsch

A summer without new content

One of the main reasons I decided this was the grim experience of “raid logging” that I had in the summer of 2020.

Raid logging is when you only log into the game at the times the group assembles for raids. For many groups, it gets reduced to once a week after the raid kills, to quickly get their loot and log out again.

The Corona pandemic, which we all have had enough of by now, has also caught the FFXIV team off guard. The consequence was a content gap of 6 months between patches 5.2 and 5.3, during which I hardly logged into the game at all.

The content from 5.2 was fun:

The story continuation of Shadowbringers was entertaining.
The Eden raid had tough bosses and strong new gear to farm.
The reconstruction of Ishgard brought cool cosmetic items as rewards. And because entire servers worked together on it, it felt like a communal project, as it should in an MMORPG.

I ground this content so much that I couldn’t stand to see it by the release of 5.3 in August. It wasn’t enough to fill a 6-month gap.

Will summer 2021 be the same? This delay could not be caught up by the team, according to director Yoshida. And as the roadmap for 2021 for FFXIV currently looks, there will also be such a content gap in summer 2021 until the expansion finally comes out.

Here is the approximate timeline for Final Fantasy XIV for 2021:

The first part of catch-up patch 5.5 will be released on April 13.
The second part of 5.5 will come after the digital fan festival in May and will bridge the story to Endwalker.
The expansion releases in fall 2021. My optimistic estimate lies here between mid-September and early October. Given the unstable situation due to Corona, it could also become November if luck is not on our side.

Again, a gap will open up in summer where there is likely to be no new content supply. It feels like déjà vu from 2020, which is why I want to avoid raid logging this time and will put my subscription on hold until the expansion.

The formula of FFXIV works – just not for me anymore

Another reason lies in FFXIV’s update strategy, which is a double-edged sword. On one hand, other MMORPGs can only envy FFXIV for its constant content supply.

Every 3-4 months, players receive a chunk of new quests, raid bosses, dungeons, outfits, and other content. There is regularly something new for players to grind.

This is the downside of FFXIV updates: On the other hand, it comes at the cost of surprise. The patch structure of FFXIV has not changed since 2013, and veteran players can often predict with astonishing precision what to expect in the next update because they always follow the same pattern.

And it was the same with the new expansion. The announced content has strongly overlapped with that of the previous expansions:

New story content
New 8-man raid in normal and epic
New 24-man raid
New extremely difficult ultimate raid
Some new dungeons
2 new jobs
Increase of level cap by 10 levels
New content for collecters and crafters

The variety, of course, was in the actual form of the content. It was clear that there would be new jobs and raids, but no one could know exactly how the new healer or raid would look. But there is still much speculation about the new melee job. The general tendency is always the same.

That’s why FFXIV updates work: However, from the reports to investors that Square Enix regularly publishes, you can see that the success vindicates Yoshida.

The revenues of Square Enix’s MMO division experienced a strong boost with the release of Shadowbringers, which is also attributed to the rising subscription numbers of Final Fantasy XIV. The update and content strategy seems to be working well for the MMORPG.

Whether the patch structure appeals to you is something everyone must decide for themselves. It has its pros and cons. But after 7 years, I’ve developed a bit of fatigue that has only been exacerbated by the current information about the new expansion.

But hey, in May at the digital fan fest, there will be more announcements. Maybe a big surprise awaits me.

Is this a problem? No, not at all

If the text comes off as bitter, it is not meant that way. Director Yoshida himself once said that you should de-subscribe from your game if you no longer find content that is fun. You should not force yourself to log in every day if you find no engagement in the game, according to Yoshida.

And this is very important. Especially in MMOs, I often feel that people feel they must play every day non-stop and then are incredibly frustrated when content droughts occur.

On one hand, I can understand it. One has fun and wants more of it. But on the other hand, it causes unnecessary frustration. And that’s exactly what I want to avoid at this point.

Therefore, after patch 5.5, I will put my subscription on hold for the first time in over 7 years. When the new expansion is out, I will dive into the content fresh and rested.

If you also feel like you are currently missing the spark while playing and you struggle to find enjoyment in the game, then don’t force yourself.

It’s okay to take a break.

Epic promises more than 100 exclusive titles for the store – These are already known

Alexander Leitsch 6. February 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

Epic has been trying to establish its own store as a competitor to Steam for a few years now. To achieve this, they have relied on exclusive titles. In the next 2 years, several exclusives are set to come, as Epic has now revealed.

What has Epic announced? In a statement to the PCGames website, an Epic employee stated that “in the next 2 years, more exclusive titles will be added to the offering than have been released so far.”

Since the launch of the Epic Store, there have been according to GameStar over 100 titles that have either been temporarily or even permanently exclusive to the shop. Among these were games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Borderlands 3, or Metro: Exodus.

This statement essentially means that over 100 more exclusive titles are planned. 21 of these titles are already known. We will introduce them briefly in the article.

Sweeney-Newell — A duel for several years: Epic Games (Sweeney – left) vs. Steam (Newell – right).

Why is Epic doing this at all? Epic wants, according to its own statement, to destroy Steam’s monopoly. The platform has become an important place for game releases but takes 30% of the revenue in return.

In early 2019, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney declared that they would forgo exclusive deals if Steam gave developers more of their earnings. They would even publish their own games on Steam then.

But the fight against Steam is progressing slowly. Recently, Epic also had to endure a defeat. The Game of the Year 2020 on Steam is Red Dead Redemption 2, a title for which Epic previously held the exclusive rights, but which performed better on Steam despite delays.

21 titles that will probably be exclusive to the Epic Store

So far, 21 titles are known that are expected to be exclusive to the Epic Store. Exclusive often means, however, that they simply won’t come to Steam. Some of these titles are available for consoles and some will also appear in proprietary shops like the Ubistore. Additionally, some titles have limited-time exclusivity.

The following multiplayer titles are coming to the Epic Store:

Chivalry 2 – A medieval PvP game
Far Cry 6 – An open-world game that is expected to have a multiplayer
Monkey Barrels – A shooter with monkeys and a competitive mode
Rainbow Six Quarantine – A co-op PvE shooter
The Settlers – A real-time strategy game with optional multiplayer
Riders Republic – An open-world MMO where you can experience extreme sports

The following single-player games are already known:

Kena: Bridge of Spirits – An action-adventure
Darkest Dungeon 2 – A turn-based tactics game
Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer’s Legacy – A roguelike ARPG
Solar Ash – A jump’n run
The Eternal Cylinder – An open-world survival game
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake – An action-adventure
Oddworld: Soulstorm – A platformer
Saturnalia – A survival horror game
Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong – A role-playing game
The Wolf Among Us 2 – An action-adventure
Jett: The Far Shore – An action-adventure

Additionally, Epic has already announced 4 new games that they want to release or publish themselves. However, nothing is known about these yet.

What do you think about the games? Are you interested in them and will you play them through Epic? What is your general stance on the topic of “Epic Exclusives”? Let us know in the comments.

The most successful game for Epic Games is likely Fortnite, which is among the most popular games in the world. However, it is currently facing criticism in e-sports. Epic isn’t supporting it as much as some professionals had hoped:

15-year-old leaves school, becomes a professional in Fortnite – now says: “E-sport is dying”

CoD Warzone: Player wins after one second in the Gulag – Here’s how you can do it

Noah Struthoff 6. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

The Gulag in CoD Warzone gives you the chance to re-enter the match after death. A player has now shown that you can win the 1-on-1 after just one second.

Here’s the deal: In the Nuketown Gulag, there is a way to take out your opponent after just one second. You need to correctly predict the opponent’s direction and aim well.

With this method, you can directly re-enter the Warzone match without having to engage in a lengthy fight with your opponent in the Gulag.

How to win in the Gulag in a flash

This is the clip: So you can see the quick victory, we are embedding the clip from reddit here:

Link to the Reddit content

How does it work? At first glance, this looks like cheating, but it follows a very simple strategy.

At the player’s spawn point in the reddit clip, you can see a small gap between the wall and the wooden wall on the right side. Right at the start of the Gulag, you need to aim and shoot exactly there.

Theoretically, you hope that the opponent, who is behind the wooden wall, runs directly toward the wall. If he does this at the start of the Gulag, he will run into your shot.

Exactly that happened in the video. The opponent runs directly into the small gap between the wall and the wooden wall, and the player hits him without having seen his opponent.

You need to keep this in mind: The trick does require some finesse, as you need to aim quickly and precisely. Only those who can pinpoint the gap directly and then aim at the right height will hit the target.

Conversely, you could also be standing on the other side of the wooden wall. So keep in mind that your opponent might know the trick too. Don’t run straight into the trap; instead, wait a moment. Otherwise, you will be the loser in a very fast Gulag round.

summit1g promotes small Twitch streamer – he cries out of joy

Noah Struthoff 6. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

The well-known Twitch streamer summit1g has done a huge favor for a smaller streamer colleague. He thanks him, saying that it has changed his life.

Here’s what happened: summit1g streams regularly on Twitch with an average of 23,500 viewers (via sullygnome). On January 4, however, the streamer was late and let his viewers on Twitch know that he wanted to sleep for about another hour before going live. In the meantime, he suggested that his fans check out DiamondJamz’s channel.

DiamondJamz is a small Twitch channel that had an average of 39 viewers. Immediately, some fans dropped by the small streamer and left a follow. DiamondJamz was so touched that he even shed tears.

The streamer is visibly touched and promises summit1g that he will now appoint him as a mod. Furthermore, he explains: “This is changing my life. I have been streaming for 6 years and have been waiting for my big breakthrough. I have a 7-year-old son for whom I work so hard to provide a good future.”

Meanwhile, more and more subscribers are coming in, leaving a follow on the channel. DiamondJamz fights back tears, wiping them from his face repeatedly.

Afterward, it even goes further, and some viewers donate money to the small streamer. The viewers tell him that his reactions have sweetened their day. In return, DiamondJamz replies that the viewers have sweetened his day.

What’s the situation now with DiamondJamz? Currently, the streamer has 12,600 followers. The stream promoted by summit1g peaked at 345 viewers.

It remains to be seen whether he can retain the newly gained viewers on his channel or if this is just a one-time event.

That’s why this is so exciting: There are some huge streamers on Twitch, including summit1g. They have an enormous influence on the scene and can move masses.

This is yet another example of what a small call to action can achieve.

However, there are also examples where negative news can cause a real hype on Twitch. A good example is the ban of Missbehavin. She showed herself naked on Twitch and caused a huge wave of outrage. Even the German streamer MontanaBlack commented on it.

In the end, however, Missbehavin actually won on Twitch. She increased her followers from 16,000 to 98,000 followers in just a few days:

Stress in WoW Shadowlands – I barely have time to have fun

Benedict Grothaus 6. February 2021 Reading time 5 minutes

The new expansion Shadowlands for World of Warcraft has been playable for a few months now. MyMMO author Benedict Grothaus is still playing intensely. His conclusion: It’s good, but there’s just too much to do and too few rewards.

I have been a devoted WoW player for 16 years now and find Shadowlands a really successful expansion. The new covenants are an exciting new feature with interesting lore, and I think the new dungeons are all great.

Even the new raid Castle Nathria is more fun for me than any raid in BfA and even more than most in Legion. The atmosphere and mood in the instance and in the whole addon are just right.

Nevertheless, I am somewhat dissatisfied with Shadowlands. Not because it offers too little, but rather too much. I have to do something at every turn.

Ve’nari sends me through the annoying Maw, the Night Fae would like more anima from me, and Torghast beckons every week with two wings that I have to conquer. Additionally, I raid with my guild three evenings a week. And I also have to work eventually.

Too much to do, no time for fun

Here’s everything you have to do: Shadowlands is full of activities in the endgame. Many of them appear regularly – weekly or even daily. They all take a lot of time:

the Maw with its daily quests, where you can only ride with certain mounts
daily emissary quests and world quests
weekly covenant tasks
weekly tasks for PvP in arenas or battlegrounds
two Torghast wings each week
mythic keystone dungeons and the raid

As a reward for these tasks, there’s anima, soul ash, stygia, or loot – all useful items that I don’t want to miss out on. Unfortunately, few of the activities can be combined.

On top of that, I should actually be farming materials or gold to equip myself for PvE. Nowadays, I almost only buy tokens for real money.

That’s why it annoys me: Each of these activities rewards me, it seems, too little. For the effort I put in here, I would like to see more yield. I miss the feeling of having achieved something.

After I have checked off all my “duties” for the week, I don’t feel like I have accomplished anything. I rather inwardly groan because the whole hamster wheel starts turning again on Wednesday. There’s hardly any time to play a twink or farm something.

The worst part is that I have no choice – or at least that’s what I convince myself. Everything I do has a specific purpose. Every task rewards me with something that I can only obtain elsewhere to a limited extent or not at all.

A sense of duty

Why do I have to do all this? I need each of the activities to improve:

Torghast provides soul ash for crafting and upgrading legendary items
Ve’nari and the Maw grant me access to sockets for my equipment
weekly covenant missions advance my renown and improve my soul binds
I need anima to upgrade my sanctum
PvP, raid, and mythic keystone dungeons improve loot for my Great Vault
rated arenas and battlegrounds improve my rating which I need to upgrade some of my best items

Of course, some of these problems are “self-made”. As a progress raider, I have the ambition to get the most out of my character. In this case, I don’t like the limitations.

With the WoWAnalyzer you will become the right top raider

von Benedict Grothaus

When I have more time, like on weekends or otherwise, I can’t “save up” for the next weeks, nor can I make up for lost time. If I miss something, it’s gone, and if I have extra time, I can at most improve my vault.

I don’t feel like I’m getting anything for my time. I can’t do any more or less than a “casual” player and even as a frequent player, I’m only rewarded the same way.

More rewards would help

How could it be better? It’s actually good that there’s so much to do. But the rewards for many areas should simply be larger – or at least present. This would provide greater motivation to endure the weekly grind.

Torghast could additionally reward anima. The stuff is pumped into the Maw anyway, so why can’t we steal it from the Jailer?
Dungeons and raid bosses urgently need more than a pitiful 35 anima as a “consolation prize”. Anima rewards in general should be higher, even if Cortyn has a different opinion.
I would like to farm soul ash retroactively with a weekly increasing cap, similar to conquest points or renown. That would also be good for twinks.
Sockets need an alternative source other than just Ve’nari. Those who actively raid usually neither have the desire nor the time to fight through the Maw every day.

Overall, I’m sure that it would benefit Shadowlands to not stretch the content so much as is currently the case. Moving a bit faster shouldn’t hurt anyone; many guilds are still stuck on the bosses in the raid. “Too fast” isn’t possible right now anyway.

Is everything bad? Even if it sounds like everything frustrates me, that’s not the case. In fact, it annoys me how much I have to do in a week, but many activities are also fun in themselves.

I enjoy visiting Torghast, I would like to see it more often – but it just isn’t worth it. Dungeons and even PvP are also fun, but only with a fixed group, which again limits possible time.

And ultimately, I raid because it brings me joy. I just sometimes wish that I could achieve better progress. The rewards from dungeons and raids in Shadowlands are already lower than in previous expansions – at least the surrounding content should go a bit faster. Or not?

For the future, I definitely wish to maintain my enthusiasm for WoW, even through tougher times. Others manage it too: This 78-year-old Twitch streamer is still raiding heroically.

Alexander Leitsch 6. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

What kind of game is this? Insurgency: Sandstorm is a tactical first-person shooter set in a war-torn region of the Middle East.

The game emphasizes “slow” and “realistic” gameplay. Weapons are very deadly but also hard to control. Teamwork is also in the foreground.

The game offers various multiplayer modes but no single-player content or story. However, you can play against AI opponents to get used to the game.

Who is the shooter worth it for? If Call of Duty is too easy and Squad is too complicated, then Insurgency: Sandstorm is just right for you.

You don’t need to invest much time if you already have experience with shooters, but you will still need to get used to handling the weapons and the short “Time To Kill”.

Moreover, many reviews on Steam indicate that you should not buy the shooter if you only want to play solo. Multiplayer and communication with teammates are said to be crucial.

How long is the game free? You can play Insurgency: Sandstorm for free until Monday, February 8 at 8:59 AM on Steam. So you have all weekend to test it extensively.

If you then want to buy the game, you can get it at a 50% discount during the same period.

Hardcore approach and gameplay are praised, graphics criticized

What content does the game offer?

Various PvP modes like Firefight, Skirmish, or Team Deathmatch in 16v16
Coop modes where you can team up with 7 other players against the AI
A large arsenal of modern rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, and pistols
Individual loadouts
Cosmetic customizations for characters

What do the reviews on Steam say? In January, there were an average of 2,800 players online on Steam, peaking at just over 4,500. Users rated Insurgency: Sandstorm as 85% positive in the last 30 days, with 1,582 reviews submitted.

Almost all users praise the good gameplay, the voice acting, and the high difficulty. Reports indicate that grind only exists if you want to reach the top of the leaderboard.
Criticism is directed at the somewhat outdated graphics, which reportedly have frequent clipping errors. The limited number of maps and modes are also criticized despite regular updates.
Opinions are divided on performance and bugs. Some criticize them, while others report no issues.
Additionally, there have been recent changes that have shifted the game away from its hardcore approach towards coop vs. AI gameplay, which not everyone appreciated.

What are your experiences with Insurgency: Sandstorm? Will you try the shooter this weekend? You can find more free shooters here:

World of Tanks comes free to Steam – Who is this action MMO for?

Florian Franck 6. February 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

Coming this year, the action MMO World of Tanks will be released on Steam. The free-to-play title featuring over 600 armored vehicles from 11 nations aims to reach new players with the Steam version.

World of Tanks is celebrating its eleventh birthday in 2021, and publisher Wargaming is using this occasion for a release on Valve’s Steam platform. The Steam product page lists the release date as 2021, but there is currently no exact release date.

Who is the action MMO worth it for? The Steam version of World of Tanks is exclusively aimed at new players. Those who already play WoT via the Wargaming Launcher can continue to use it. There will be no synchronization between the two platforms.

If you like historical tracked vehicles from the mid-20th century, you should take a closer look at World of Tanks. Players who have already played World of Warships or World of Warplanes on Steam will find a welcome change with the tank battles.

As part of the digital Gamescom 2020, MeinMMO was able to win an interview with the CEO of Wargaming for a “World of Tanks” interview. In this interview, you will learn why he, as the boss, receives the “hate” when something goes wrong and how World of Tanks came into being.

What to expect in World of Tanks

What tank classes are there? The tanks are divided into five unique vehicle classes, which compete against each other in a balanced manner on the virtual battlefield. The two teams can choose between tank destroyers, artillery, light, medium, and heavy tanks.

What tanks are available? Currently, over 600 tanks are available in World of Tanks. Many of them come from the history of the 20th century.

The British tanks include the famous Churchill VII, which advanced on the battlefield against the German Tiger, which can also be driven in World of Tanks.

The American forces are represented by 99 vehicles in World of Tanks. Their flagship is the Sherman tank, which had a significant advantage at the time due to its vertically stabilized cannon.

With 135 vehicles, the USSR currently offers the largest selection in the game. One of the most famous tanks of the former Soviet Union, the T-34, is also included in the game.

In addition to the three major powers of World War II, players can position armored vehicles from France, Czechoslovakia, China, Japan, Sweden, Poland, and Italy on the virtual battlefield.

Are all tanks free in the game? The majority of armored vehicles are already included in free-to-play or can be unlocked. Additionally, there is the possibility to acquire premium models in the real money shop.

If you want to acquire a specific tank, you should be patient, as there are often special offers and discounts on certain tanks and packages in the Wargaming shop.

What you still need to know about the Steam launch of World of Tanks

We have compiled all important information about the Steam launch for you here in a compact format.

When will World of Tanks be released on Steam? There is already a shop page for World of Tanks on Steam. However, the release currently only states the year 2021. The developers have not yet announced an exact date for the Steam release.

Can you play with non-Steam players? Yes, there is supposed to be full cross-launcher support. This is already the case with World of Warships, which is also offered by Wargaming on Steam and in its own launcher.

Will the Steam version include special features? There are supposed to be no feature differences between the two versions. Updates for the Steam version are also expected to be released simultaneously with those for the Wargaming client.

Do I have to create an account with Wargaming? The account will be automatically created when starting the Steam version of World of Tanks. Registration on the Wargaming website will not be necessary.

Our colleagues from GameStar tested World of Tanks after the release of version 1.0 and found: World of Tanks is (almost) a new game.

New features for World of Tanks are in the works

With the announcement that World of Tanks will be released on Steam in 2021, Wargaming has announced new tests in the sandbox mode. The sandbox is a test environment in World of Tanks where players can test new features in advance. In February and March 2021, players can test changes to HE shells, crew members, and artillery. These features are explained in more detail in the recently released YouTube video.

Final Fantasy XIV divides Patch 5.5 into two updates – Here’s what’s included

Alexander Leitsch 6. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

Final Fantasy XIV has released new details about the upcoming Patch 5.5 – Death until Dawn – which is set to be released in two parts and transition into the upcoming expansion Endwalker.

What’s in Patch 5.5? Following the announcement of the new expansion Endwalker, Naoki Yoshida also revealed details about the new update. The major innovations of the update are:

A new story and its associated dungeon Palgth’an
The conclusion of the story Sorrow of Werlyt
The third part of the Nier Automata raid for 24 players

When will Patch 5.5 be released? The new update will be split into two parts. The first update will be released on April 13 alongside the open beta for the PS5 version of the MMORPG.

The second part is expected to be released at the end of May after the fan festival. The festival will take place on May 15 and 16 and is expected to bring new information about Endwalker.

Story from 5.5 aims to resolve dilemmas and lead into the expansion

What to expect in the story: With the new update, a quest line for the main scenario will be introduced that is linked to the expansion Endwalker. Officially, it was stated that this quest line will resolve ongoing dilemmas while simultaneously opening up the new narrative arc.

Part of this story is the dungeon Palgth’an. It will support the Trust system, allowing you to take NPCs with you. However, specific details about the dungeon and the story were not shared. Yoshida merely mentioned that players will be familiar with the location.

At the same time, the final chapter of the battle for Werlyt is set to be released with Patch 5.5.

What else does the patch bring? In addition to the story and the third part of the raid, some smaller innovations and adjustments are planned:

There will be job adjustments with Patch 5.5, which have not been further elaborated on.
New armor and rewards for PvP are planned.
There will be a new unreal trial.
There will be adjustments for craftsmen, who will receive new challenging expert recipes.
Collectors will be able to display collection points directly on the map via the handbook.

Just a few days ago, Patch 5.45 was released in FFXIV. It raised the level of the Blue Mage and made an adjustment to the weapons of the Resistance:

Anyone who starts with Destiny 2 now has no chance of grasping the story

Sven Galitzki 6. February 2021 Reading time 5 minutes

Destiny 2 has recently made it easier for new players to get started. However, since then, it has become almost impossible for freshly minted Guardians to understand the extensive overall story of the game with its many details and threads.

Not long in the game? This could become problematic: The 13th Season of Destiny 2 is on the horizon. As part of the seasonal story, the Cabal Empress Caiatl appears to be a new, powerful enemy in the game.

But who is this mysterious Cabal Warlord?
How does she fit into the setting?
What was so important about Cayde-6 and who is he anyway?
Or the Wanderer? Or Ikora – the nice lady who just stands in the Tower and never does or says anything?
What has the guy named Crow done that is so bad?

While long-time Destiny players still manage to keep at least a rough overview, such details can be quite hard to grasp for new Guardians who have just recently started with Destiny 2 or are about to begin.

Even though Bungie has specially given the game a revamped beginning for freshly minted Guardians, many story branches, important connections, and whole fates are now harder to follow for newcomers than they have ever been before.

Overall story hard to understand for newcomers – Why is that?

That is different: With the release of the latest expansion “Beyond Light” and the start of Season 12, Destiny 2 brought new content to the game, and the story was finally pushed forward in a more substantial way.

However, according to Bungie, Destiny 2 cannot grow indefinitely, and so, alongside the release of new content in November 2020, many contents from the game were vaulted – into the so-called Destiny Content Vault. Among them were:

the entire campaign from the base game
content from the first two DLCs “Curse of Osiris” and “Warmind”
numerous locations along with their respective content and activities – including quests, stories, and some characters

What is the problem? The issue is that with the removal of many contents, important storylines have been cut or whole pillars have essentially disappeared from the game. As a result, the overall picture is now hard to grasp – at least in its full complexity.

Thus, the campaign of the base game introduced new Guardians to the world as well as many important events and characters. Without this foundation, it is hard to understand why, for example, the death of Cayde-6 had such significance and why the Crow, meaning Uldren, is now experiencing such a harsh fate. Or who the Emperor Calus was, who is closely connected to the main antagonist of the new Season 13. Or what event ultimately brought the Fleet of Darkness to us.

Yes, this knowledge is not important for everyone, many find the game enjoyable even without deeper knowledge of the background. And this knowledge is not completely lost. You can always check out YouTube for good and compact story summaries.

That is a shame: The story has never been considered Destiny’s strong point – at least not in the game itself. However, Bungie has been working over the years to better tell the story in-game, to fill in important story gaps, and to finally answer open questions from the last years – and this has also worked better recently, especially in Beyond Light.

However, with the vaulting of content, this old problem is resurfacing for new players. Bungie has created a huge world with great stories, but some of these stories are now hardly comprehensible for new Guardians – at least not in their full glory, not in their full extent. And that also makes it harder to spark interest in new stories, which often build on old events.

This was supposed to improve the situation

The entry for new players was already made more difficult and confusing with the transition to Free-to-Play. At that time, the Free-to-Play version Destiny 2: New Light still offered a very large scope, but there was no red thread to guide new players through the playable contents in the correct order.

Therefore, Bungie has revamped the onboarding in the game and given Destiny 2 a new beginning. After all, with the base campaign, almost the entire introduction to Destiny 2 has been removed.

And yes, he does lead new players into the game much better now – at least mechanically.

There is a noticeable red thread that gradually introduces newcomers to the principles of being a Guardian and presents the most important mechanics of Destiny 2.
There is also a good, compact introduction story-wise – however, it is very rudimentary and practically hardly goes beyond a somewhat inflated good versus evil.

Story-wise, Destiny 2 is now a patchwork for newcomers, and in many places, it is hard to know exactly what one is fighting against – one just does it for the loot.

That’s why there’s hope: Even though much content has now fallen away – the new content since Beyond Light relies on a much more direct story. Bungie integrates much of the story via cutscenes or dialogues during seasonal quests directly into the game. At least the rough overarching plot established in 2020, which then leads to 2022 in the DLC Lightfall, should also be easily understandable for new Guardians.

We can hope that they will pick up the old, unfortunately somewhat convoluted story strands again and finally connect their now loose ends or branches into a coherent thread. Whether this approach will succeed will be seen first in part in Season 13, when we (hopefully) learn more about the motivations of the Cabal, the daughter of Emperor Calus, and the Darkness.

If this connection is well done, it could very well help to close the knowledge gaps of new Guardians and make the overall picture understandable – at least for this story strand.

What do you think? Do you generally switch off when it comes to the Destiny story, or would you like to know why and whom you are actually shooting at? How do fresh players see it? Does the game make it too difficult for you to understand the big story surrounding Destiny?

Voice actress of Genshin Impact gets harassed after her voice was modified

Irina Moritz 6. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

The voice of the character Barbara from Genshin Impact has received an adjustment. However, this was not well received by many fans, leading them to harass the voice actress.

This is what happened: Since February 3rd, Genshin Impact has had Update 1.3 active. It brought fresh content like the new character Xiao, the photo event, and the buff of the character Zhongli.

However, there was a change that was not well received by a part of the fans. The healer character Barbara has a different voice in the English version of Genshin Impact.

Laura Stahl remains the voice actress, but she received different directive instructions during the recordings. Therefore, her voice for Barbara sounds different than what fans were used to.

“Like a grandma at Bingo night”

These are reactions on reddit: In several large reddit threads, the change in Barbara’s voice was discussed in detail. In one thread (9284 Upvotes), the user angrybob16 made a video comparing the two versions of the voice side by side.

Many of the comments in the thread expressed that they do not like the new change. They miss the lively and cute way of the old voice of Barbara and feel that she now sounds tired and drained.

You don’t realize how much you’ll miss something until it’s gone.
reddit user jare l l108 (4093 Upvotes)

No! My Barbara!
The voice of the old Barbara is rough, but energetic, and I find that it’s the rough voice that makes her so charming […]
The new Barbara is just a typical quiet Moe anime girl. It’s just… unremarkable? Boring? […]
reddit user Nameless497 (1067 Upvotes)

One of the players addressed the developer miHoYo in his thread and even compared Barbara’s new voice to “a grandma at Bingo night.”

The voice actress speaks out on Twitter

This is what the voice actress says: After the change, voice actress Laura Stahl spoke out on Twitter. In a tweet, she asked fans to leave her alone, as she apparently received many requests for her to revert the voice change.

She wrote:

I can’t ask them [miHoYo] to change it [the voice] back.
I don’t know why the change was made. And if I had known, I couldn’t have revealed it.
Please just enjoy the game and stop asking me.
Thank you.

While Stahl did not say what kind of messages she received from the upset fans. So whether there were insults or even death threats, as was the case with the actor of Spider-Man. However, there were obviously enough messages that she felt compelled to release an official statement regarding this.

Subsequently, there was also a call in the official Genshin Impact reddit forum for players not to harass the voice actress. Another part of the players defended the actress and explained that she has no influence over the directive decisions and that it’s not her fault that the change occurred.

Pokémon GO is likely to introduce 3 new methods to acquire XL candies soon

Noah Struthoff 6. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

Data miners have found indications of 3 new methods to obtain the rare XL candies in the code of Pokémon GO. We will show you the findings.

What has been discovered: The data miners from Pokeminers have once again searched the code of Pokémon GO and shared their info on reddit. They have come across new information regarding the XL candies. These XL candies can be obtained starting from level 40 and allow you to further level up monsters from level 40 onwards.

So far, the candies are quite rare, and many trainers wish for more opportunities to obtain them. This wish may soon be fulfilled.

Changes may soon happen regarding XL candies

Earn XL candies through your buddy: The first new method revolves around your buddy Pokémon. It seems that soon you will be able to earn XL candies by walking with your buddy. Previously, you would only receive a normal candy after walking a certain distance.

It remains to be seen whether you will receive an XL candy every time or if it will alternate with a normal candy.

XL candies through Pokémon Home: By sending Pokémon, you sometimes already receive an XL candy. However, other Pokémon platforms are likely to be added. The data miners have found indications that by sending Pokémon to Pokémon Home or Let’s GO, Pikachu/Eevee, you are supposed to receive one XL candy.

Whether this is guaranteed or just as random as with normal sending is unclear.

Guaranteed XL candies when catching: This might be the most interesting aspect for all trainers. Until now, you could only receive XL candies for catching Pokémon occasionally. However, files have been found indicating that there may also be guaranteed XL candies for caught Pokémon.

This may not be active for every monster, but some Pokémon could soon include this possibility. Monsters from raids would be suitable for this. This way, you would have realistic chances of obtaining enough XL candies from legendary Pokémon.

What you need to consider: These are just pieces of information from data miners. They have not yet been officially confirmed by Niantic. It may take a while for these 3 methods to be implemented in the game. They could also be completely discarded. Therefore, view this information with a pinch of skepticism.

However, officially confirmed by Niantic is the Community Day this Sunday. Here are the details:

Most successful games for PS4 & PS5 in January 2021 with the most downloads

Noah Struthoff 6. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

The month of January is over and Sony has taken this as an opportunity to list the most successful games of the month for PS4 and PS5. We show you the list.

What was shown: On the PlayStation Blog, Sony spoke up and published a detailed list of the PS4 and PS5 games that had the most downloads in January.

This provides a good overview and also shows how the player base differs on PS4 and PS5.

List of the most downloaded games

This is how it looks on PS5: First, the 20 games that were downloaded most frequently on PS5. This list is applicable for Europe. Gamers from America or Asia were not considered here:

FIFA 21
Hitman 3
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Mortal Kombat 11
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
Immortals Fenyx Rising
Demon’s Souls
No Man’s Sky
NBA 2K21
WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Madden NFL 21
Dead by Daylight: Special Edition
Borderlands 3
Watch Dogs: Legion
Planet Coaster: Console Edition
Godfall
Dirt 5

What stands out here? With FIFA 21, a game that was already released in October 2020 is in 1st place. The PlayStation exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, however, only ranks “5th.” But it must also be emphasized that it has been available since November 2020.

With Hitman 3, a game that has just recently been released, ranks 2nd. Long-standing titles like Rainbow Six Siege or Dead by Daylight also achieve top placements, although they are already several years old.

This is how it looks on PS4: The list of the most successful PS4 games differs significantly from PS5. We also show you the most downloaded games for January 2021:

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
GTA 5
Minecraft
FIFA 21
The Forest
The Crew 2
Red Dead Redemption 2
ARK: Survival Evolved
Gran Turismo Sport
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint
Gang Beasts
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Tekken 7
eFootball PES 2021
Marvel’s Spider-Man
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

What stands out here? The list differs considerably from PS5. Here, there are significantly more older games, such as GTA 5 or ARK: Survival Evolved. Hitman 3, which is in 2nd place on PS5, does not appear here at all.

Also interesting: On PS4, the old Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was downloaded more often than its successor Valhalla.

What else was revealed? There was also a glimpse into the most successful free games on PS4 and PS5. These games are, however, summarized for both platforms. There, Rocket League is at the top. Next come CoD Warzone, Fortnite, and PES 2021 Lite. The Asian hit Genshin Impact ranks 7th.

5 Crazy Bugs and Glitches that Caused Chaos in GTA Online

Tarek Zehrer 6. February 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

Bugs and glitches have already caused quite a bit of chaos in GTA Online. MeinMMO shows you 5 of them and what exactly happened.

What is it about? GTA Online has a long history of bugs and glitches. Various errors repeatedly lead to curious situations.

From the buggy casino to flying trucks, there have been crazy methods to exploit game mechanics, “earn” a lot of money, or just bizarre things have happened. We present a selection of incidents that have accumulated over the past few years.

GTA Online Trevor fire van gasoline title — Surely you have also encountered glitches and bugs in your GTAO sessions.

1. The buggy casino of GTA Online

Problems with the lucky wheel: With the casino update, GTA Online received a lucky wheel in 2019. Through this lucky wheel, players could then grab a particularly rare car. A glitch occurred at the start, which players still use to get this car.

One just has to disconnect at the right moment to get another spin. This way, players can increase their chances of the podium car.

Later, there was a bug that mixed up the winnings. Instead of the displayed rewards, players received something completely different due to a bug.

Instead of a rare, free car, they only received 10,000 chips, which was pretty disappointing.

Link to the Reddit content

Numerous players complained on reddit about the bug and false winnings. Meanwhile, the error has been fixed.

Glitches at horse racing: Even the horse races of the casino were initially buggy and provided players with significantly higher winnings. Many players exploited this and grabbed millions.

In the reddit forums of glitchers, AFK scripts were even shared that allowed players on PC to automatically participate in the races and collect millions while they were not even at the computer.

Only after multiple attempts did Rockstar manage to fix this error with a patch. Those who had “earned” chips were harshly punished with an account reset.

2. Glitch caused chaos in hangars

What happened? In spring 2019, a glitch appeared that suddenly made Lester the most important NPC for many in GTA Online. Because players could earn millions of dollars thanks to him.

Through Lester, players could order planes for a fee. If it could not spawn, they got their money back. By a trick, players could pay only once but get the money back repeatedly. Players ordered a plane to a specific hangar, parked near the spawn point, and simply pressed the gas.

This way, the plane could not spawn, and there was constantly money back that was never paid. This led to chaotic sessions where all players in a session were sitting near a hangar, mostly not even present at all.

It even escalated to the point where nearby players experienced lag issues.

How the problem was solved: Developer Rockstar needed two attempts to remove the glitch from the game. The first attempt was circumvented by players simply parking mobile command centers in hangars.

The second attempt found a simple solution: It currently costs nothing to order a plane from Lester.

3. Money glitch led to chaotic scenes with stunt tracks

What happened? In some cases, money glitches were taken so far that they even affected other players. For example, on PS4, a glitch was used that simply spawned stunt tracks for other players.

It was one of the few money glitches that also worked on consoles. Players were able to acquire a ton of sports cars with this trick and then sell them.

The glitchers used the director mode, which is actually for videos. In this mode, one can spawn all kinds of vehicles, stunt tracks, and other things. Due to a bug, it could happen that these tracks then made it from director mode into the free roam mode of GTA Online. Then came such scenes:

4. Players “wake up” in the wrong body

What happened? A rather funny bug made the rounds in April 2020. Players logged into GTA Online and noticed that their character suddenly looked different.

New glitches continue to emerge. The latest discovery is being used by players on PC to pretend to be admins.

For example, male characters suddenly had long hair, a beard, and breasts, as shown in this screenshot:

It was one of the bugs that the community took with humor.

5. Glitch makes giant trucks fly

What happened? The glitch was also discovered in April 2020. With this trick, massive vehicles could fly through the air as if they were airplanes.

The trick only works with certain arena vehicles and requires two specific modifications that can be made in the arena workshop.

However, it took a certain level of skill to make the truck fly. In the video by YouTuber GTA_Pure, you can see how it worked.

WoW: Finally! There is more Anima from dungeons and raids

Cortyn 6. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard listens to the WoW players and increases the amount of Anima from dungeons and raids. Is this a good way to farm such content?

Many players feel pressured by the Anima system in World of Warcraft. No wonder, as there are hundreds of rewards for this resource, but very little Anima to earn. Some have trouble gathering the 1,000 Anima for the weekly quest because they don’t want to do world quests. Now Blizzard is increasing the amount of Anima from other sources – namely from dungeons and raids.

What was the problem? In dungeons and raids, Anima is the “consolation prize” for players. If someone doesn’t get an item, they at least receive an Anima token worth 35 Anima. However, that is so ridiculously small that some players consider it an insult and would prefer to get nothing rather than such a meager amount. Blizzard has responded to the criticism and is now increasing the amount of Anima available from these PvE contents.

WoW Nathria Denathrius title title 1280x720 — Bosses like Denathrius will soon drop much more Anima.

What will change? The amount of Anima from the following sources will be increased. The numbers are now the new values.

Mythic Keystone dungeons at levels +7 to +9 will grant 2 rare Anima items (equivalent to 70 Anima).
Mythic Keystone dungeons at level +10 and higher will grant 3 rare Anima items (equivalent to 105 Anima).
The first 8 bosses from Castle Nathria will drop 3 rare Anima items each (equivalent to 105 Anima).
The Stone Generals and Count Denathrius in Castle Nathria will drop 5 rare Anima items each (equivalent to 175 Anima).

When will this change go live? With the next weekly reset, on February 10th for us in Europe. From then on, you can expect more Anima from your weekly dungeons and raids.

What is the consequence? The effect of this increase should become noticeable quite quickly. It is probably still not worthwhile to specifically farm dungeons for Anima, but as a “side” reward, the value increases significantly. Those who primarily play dungeons and raids will now also complete the weekly Anima quest quite quickly. After all, just completing Castle Nathria gives a hefty 1190 Anima. The additional Anima can then be invested in cosmetic upgrades or improvements to the covenant sanctum.

What do you think of the change? A good step? Or is this still far too little to be relevant?

Do you know the “WoW Grandma” who is still raiding heroically at 78 years old?

FIFA 21: Future Stars has started – Here are the new, strong talents

Max Handwerk 5. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

Today the Future Stars Event starts in FIFA 21. What is the talent event about?

When does Future Stars begin? As with other events, the Future Stars Event started on Friday evening. It began on February 5 at 7:00 PM.

At this point, the first Future Stars Team entered the game, which will remain in packs for a week. Another team with improved talents is expected to join next week.

Here is Future Stars Team 1

What is the Future Stars Event? The Future Stars Event is about talents who have the potential to become world stars. This year, there are particularly strong cards for young players that are roughly at their maximum potential.

Here is the first Future Stars Team in FIFA 21:

Giovanni Reyna (Borussia Dortmund)
Eduardo Camavinga (FC Stade Rennes)
Steven Bergwijn (Tottenham Hotspurs)
Harvey Barnes (Leicester City)
Dejan Kulusevski (Piemonte Calcio)
Sergino Dest (FC Barcelona)
Dominik Szoboszlai (RB Leipzig)
Reece James (FC Chelsea London)
Andriy Lunin (Real Madrid)
Alexander Isak (Real Sociedad San Sebastián)
Diogo Dalot (AC Milan)

This team follows in big footsteps. Last year, for example, Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund received a very, very strong card. Some of the new players are already among the best talents in FIFA 21.

The special thing about this team: 3 of the players will also be included in Team 2 – but in a different version. These are the “shining” cards of Reyna, Diogo Dalot, and James.

With Player Pick SBC: In addition to the Future Stars Team in packs, there is also a special SBC for the Future Stars Event. You can secure Bruno Guimaraes – in two different versions. There is an offensive and a defensive variant of the player:

According to the official announcement, there will also be Future Stars Academy players again, for which you can unlock different versions through tasks (via ea.com). This is supposed to start in the second week of Future Stars. However, who will be included is still unknown.

In the weekly challenges, there will be a new “Moments” card for Sandro Tonali. The Italian 87-rated CDM will be available for a week and can be earned by completing several tasks in the “Manager Masterpiece” mode.

Once Future Stars is over, the winter ratings refresh will also be approaching. Here you can already find some Bundesliga players who deserve better ratings.

Pokémon GO: Trainer defeats Arlo with only one Pokémon under 1500 CP

Patrick Freese 5. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

Rocket bosses are currently in focus in Pokémon GO. A player shows how he wins the battle against Arlo with a single Pokémon.

What kind of battle is this? The Rocket Event is currently running in Pokémon GO. For you, this means that the grunts appear significantly more often with balloons and at stops. This makes it easier to collect the mysterious components to build radars, with which you will eventually encounter the bosses Arlo, Sierra, and Cliff.

On reddit, player g-magoto shows how he defeats Arlo with a special tactic.

A Lucario with 1486 CP against Arlo

This is how the battle goes: We embed the reddit video of the trainer here. In about 2 minutes and 20 seconds, you will see how g-magoto practically wins the battle against Arlo using only one Lucario.

Why does this work? With Lucario, the trainer chose an attacker that has effective abilities against Arlo’s Pokémon. Additionally, the opposing Pokémon do not attack for 1-2 seconds after executing a charge attack. During this time, you can charge your own charge attacks and deal damage.

With Power-Up Punch, the Lucario in the video has an attack that charges very quickly and increases its attack after each use.

Moreover, Lucario is one of the best attackers you can have in the game. More specifically, he is the best fighting attacker in Pokémon GO.

This is his team: In his team, Lucario with 1486 CP, Toxiped with 10 CP, and Keifel with 10 CP are fighting. The two low-level Pokémon are there just to buy time and absorb opposing attacks.

Do you want to try out how few Pokémon you can use against the current Rocket bosses? Then try strong counters against them:

In the coming days, a lot is on the agenda in the game. The big Kanto Tour is ahead and brings 150 Shinies with it. Plus a Community Day with Roselia and many other events.

To keep you informed, we show you here all events in February 2020 in Pokémon GO.
