On Steam, the new free-to-play MMORPG DreamScapes Dimensions has now entered Early Access. The online role-playing game is not well received by players: they tear it apart in Steam reviews.
What kind of MMORPG is this? DreamScapesDimensions has been in Early Access on Steam since January 22. Behind the title is the indie developer AHDS.It is a free-to-play MMORPG set in a medieval fantasy world. Players navigate through a game world divided into hubs from a first-person perspective.
Here’s what the description says about DreamScapes Dimensions:
A comprehensive character editor
Various races such as humans, elves, dwarves, orcs
Character attributes like strength, agility
Crafting
Magic
Housing elements that allow building your own homes, castles, and temples
The game world is procedurally generated and offers random adventures in various areas such as forests and caves.
How is Dimensions received? Initial testers are mostly dissatisfied. The most common criticisms revolve around the technical state of the game, which is said to be very poor even for an Early Access title. The most frequently mentioned points include:
Way too long loading times
Outdated graphics
Frequent frame rate drops
Poor tutorials
Various “gamebreaking” glitches
Some players apparently do not even get to test the actual gameplay. For example, Psychopatton writes: “An hour to get into the game (45 minutes waiting for the download [(Note from the Editor) of the game world] and 15 minutes for character creation), 4 crashes in the first 15 minutes of actual gameplay, all while walking through doors […]. Not for me, but it’s free to try.”

Are there positive voices as well? Some reviewers, like user torca, have shown more patience and can indeed report positives. The loading times would only be that long the first time, afterwards it runs better. And if you overlook the bugs and glitches, you have a raw old-school MMO.
“It’s an old-school MMO, but one with potential that I hope will be continued. […] It’s not for everyone, but I personally enjoy identifying bugs, interacting with the developer, and watching a game grow. That’s the purpose of the Early Access system for me.”
Remnant also writes that the game is“more for people who miss RPGs from the 90s.” – via Steam
However, other positive reviews seem to be more sarcastic in nature. For instance, user Terranin writes that the game is next-gen and the combat system is better than in The Elder Scrolls Online. (via Steam)
Is DreamScapes Dimension worth it? At the moment, the game is really only for those who are frustration-resistant and have an affinity for old-school RPGs from the 90s. The multitude of bugs and eternal loading times seem to spoil the fun for most testers. Since it is a free-to-play MMO, it depends only on your time and motivation.
Will you try DreamScapes Dimensions, or have you perhaps already taken a look? What do you think?
DreamScapes Dimensions is not the first free-to-play game that has been rated very negatively on Steam. Another one was Rebirth Online, which was released in August 2020.

Fortnite posted some teasers on Twitter that told a story of Drift, an evil force, and an unknown character. But then they deleted everything. We will show you what happened.
Update 17:10: The suspicion has been confirmed. The mysterious character will actually be the next skin in the Crew Pack. Fortnite announced this on Twitter. It is “Vi”, a female character in fox style.
Vi will be the next skin in the Crew Pack and will be available in February
What happened? On Sunday, January 24, Fortnite published several posts on Twitter and changed their profile picture. They mentioned a fox clan that is said to be in danger. The posts were directed at Drift, known from Season 5 – Chapter 1.
But since an “evil force” is said to be after the clan, the tweets were deleted to cover their tracks. Will we soon see a new character coming to the Fortnite map?
“The Fox Clan is in Trouble”
What was seen in the tweets? As mentioned, all tweets and teasers have now been deleted by Fortnite. However, Forbes was able to secure screenshots of the tweets.
It started when Fortnite changed their profile picture on Twitter to show a logo of a fox. Then the first tweets addressing Drift appeared:
The connection was established and someone spoke to Drift. This mysterious character seems eager to have a conversation with Drift, as the fox clan is in dire need of help.
The character continues to say they are being hunted by something “evil and old” and he is the only one who could escape.
According to the character, Drift is also in danger, because “whoever gave you that mask has made you a target.” He seems to be referring to the fox mask that Drift wears in a style variant as a skin.
Drift wears a fox mask that apparently makes him a target of evil
The mysterious character warns Drift that if they do not work together and form a team, the evil ones will soon be after him.
The connection had to be cut off as the evil ones approached. The mysterious character said he had to cover his tracks and that they would hopefully see each other again soon.
This was the last tweet before Fortnite deleted all posts related to it again and changed the profile picture back. It now looks like this conversation never took place on their Twitter profile. This is probably also the goal, so that this mysterious character is not discovered by this evil force.
Will this be a new Crew Skin?
What could these teasers mean? The story itself is already mysterious enough, but what could it all possibly mean? Here is what we know so far:
The character from the tweets seems to still be unknown
The teaser image shows a skin that does not exist yet
The next Crew Skin has also been teased with a fox
So, looking at all the hints together, it seems very likely that this mysterious character could become the new skin from the Fortnite Crew Subscription.

It is also exciting that apparently the story of Drift seems to be repeating itself. He was the main character back when Season 5 – Chapter 1 ran. Now he seems to be returning in Season 5 – Chapter 2.
The Twitch streamer and YouTuber Tommyinnit is currently dominating the streaming platform Twitch with Minecraft. A few years ago, however, the 16-year-old was still a huge fanboy of shooter legend shroud and pursued the stream sniper in PUBG, as he now recounts.
Currently, his channel is growing on Twitch faster than any other
Tommyinnit had peaked at 650,000 viewers in the last 7 days – as much as no other channel (via sullygnome)
The special thing is that he only streams “briefly”: His Minecraft streams last only between one or two hours. Many of the big streamers are on air for 10 to 12 hours straight. However, Tommyinnit has an extremely high number of viewers in the short time he streams and is therefore currently one of the top 5 most-watched streamers in the world.
The British streamer has committed some youthful sins that he is now confessing. In 2018, he was a fanboy of streamer shroud. In a new video on YouTube, Tommyinnit explains his story with shroud.
Tommyinnit was a fanboy of shroud – played the protector
This is what Tommyinnit said: In a video from January 19, Tommyinnit tells the story of him and shroud. Because back then, Tommyinnit did everything to get into the same PUBG matches as shroud. This behavior is called “Stream Sniping” – it is actually frowned upon. Because streamers want to play “authentically” and not be bothered by fans vying for their attention during their streams.
His career as a stream sniper began on August 9, 2018. That was when sommyinnit was killed by shroud for the first time. But more importantly: shroud mentioned the name of the boy.
Tommyinnit now tells in the video that it was a fantastic feeling and that they became “best friends” because shroud apparently knew him.

In this video, Tommyinnit talks about the virtual meetings with shroud.
After that, the story continued, and Tommyinnit regularly tried to get into shroud’s PUBG rounds and talk to him.
So they met on a map, and Tommyinnit ran to an opponent who was just attacking shroud – he wanted to save his idol from elimination
In a later round, the two streamers met again. There, they even talked longer, and Tommyinnit introduced shroud to his buddy, who was staying over at his place
In general, Tommyinnit reports that there were many great moments when he met shroud. He regularly made it his mission to get into games where shroud was playing.
However, Tommyinnit also talks about the difficulties of stream sniping. He says: “I had to stay awake until 11:00 PM, which is really quite late for a 14-year-old!”
This is how the viewers reacted: Many of Tommyinnit’s viewers, who are still teenagers themselves, identify with his statements. The feeling of being the best friend of the streamer just because he reads the name seems to be known. In the comments, there are many ironic statements, but understanding for Tommyinnit’s actions is given.
Wolfy C1-37 writes in the comments: “Oh shit, they are really best friends, shroud knows who he [Tommyinnit] is!”
Particularly well received is apparently that Tommyinnit can laugh about his behavior today and often alludes to how incredibly embarrassing it all was, how terrible he sounds in the videos and how crazy excited he was to just be near shroud.
His honest and authentic way of dealing with his behavior, which is generally frowned upon, makes the streamer likable.
This is interesting: Stream sniping is generally frowned upon, and Twitch does not like it either. Nevertheless, Tommyinnit’s statements come across so sympathetically that there is hardly any criticism. The video has already received 296,000 thumbs up and only 1,900 thumbs down (as of January 25 at 12:30 PM).
The viewers understand the action, as Tommyinnit was not toxic to shroud but even wanted to help him. He used PUBG to be close to his streamer idol.
This is the current status of shroud and Tommyinnit: A few days ago, the two streamers met again. This time in Minecraft, the game through which Tommyinnit became truly successful.
The two met again on the OfflineTV server. However, shroud did not seem very pleased with the reunion. Tommyinnit then mentions that shroud left the server shortly after. Nevertheless, even three years after their first meeting, Tommyinnit does not want to stop stream sniping. His next attempt will be on the OfflineTV Rust server. shroud is also regularly seen there.
Amid all the stream sniping, Tommyinnit emphasizes that he only wants to help shroud and does not want to eliminate him at all. Other streamers have already acted quite differently. For example, xQc was temporarily banned for eliminating a colleague through stream sniping:
The origin of the creepy “Herobrine” legend has been found. The probably most eerie character from Minecraft that never existed.
In a game with the age of Minecraft, there are many legends and rumors. One of these urban legends is about the strange character Herobrine, whom several players are said to have encountered in the game world. Now the origin of this rumor has been found – the world in which Herobrine supposedly first appeared.
Who is Herobrine? Herobrine is an old Minecraft legend. This is a character who uses the default player skin but has creepy white eyes. In an early video, Herobrine suddenly appeared in the house of a player who had just returned.
Herobrine is said, according to internet legend, to have been a tribute to the deceased brother of Minecraft developer Notch, who immortalized him in the game.
Unfortunately, the original video of one of the first sightings no longer exists in acceptable quality, but you can see a (fairly faithful) remake here:

What else did Herobrine do? Quickly, more and more stories were built around Herobrine. Allegedly, one could sometimes see the character in the distance and observe strange behavior. He is said to have dug small 2×2 tunnels or removed leaves from trees.
However, Herobrine soon became a dark creature that would sneak up on players, scare them, and push them to their deaths. He lurks behind dark corners or at the ends of very long corridors, visible only for a few moments before disappearing again. He often lures players into his 2×2 tunnels, then closes them off and symbolically buries the player alive.
What has been found now? It concerns the Minecraft world in which Herobrine was supposedly discovered for the first time. This world, like all worlds in Minecraft, has a specific seed that has now been found by the “Minecraft@Home” team. Those who want to see the game world need a “Historical Version” of Minecraft, specifically version a1.0.16. Then you need to select the seed code “478868574082066804” and go to the coordinates X= 5, Y=71 and Z= -298. That is exactly the place where the Herobrine myth developed.

Developer further fueled the Herobrine legend: The former Minecraft developer Notch further fueled the legend of Herobrine. After Herobrine gained attention as an internet phenomenon, Notch added the note “Removed Herobrine” at the end of almost all patch notes for Minecraft, indicating that Herobrine had been removed from the game. This didn’t happen just once, but at almost every patch, leading many players to further spin the story of Herobrine.
For apparently, the “evil code” of Herobrine was so powerful that it survived in the game files even when the developer deleted it. A typical creepypasta story.
Is there any truth to Herobrine? Nothing. Herobrine never existed in the game and all videos of him are fake. They are either edited images or just other players in multiplayer using a Herobrine skin. Herobrine never existed in the game code, and Notch never had a brother he wanted to immortalize in the game. This is a classic example of a modern internet legend that has taken on a life of its own.
The streamer Copeland, who created the first video about Herobrine, admitted a while later that it was a fake. He had simply changed the texture of an image so that it looked like Herobrine.
The Grau 5.56 was for a time the benchmark in Call of Duty: Warzone. After a nerf, many players lost sight of the weapon, but now it’s back and MeinMMO shows you how it is one of the best weapons in the Battle Royale.
Update January 3, 2022: We have checked the setup option in the article and can still recommend the attachment combination.
What makes the Grau special? Players of Call of Duty: Warzone who were active in the Battle Royale during the summer of 2020 will remember this firearm well. At that time, the weapon was practically “unmissable” and almost every killcam showed a kill with the Grau 5.56.
This was mainly due to two of its special characteristics:
Very good iron sight
Extremely high stability for accurate hits
After a small nerf, the weapon was suddenly out and the LMG Bruen Mk9 took over. After the weakening of the overpowering DMR 14 and a range nerf of the Kilo 141, the Grau is back on the radar, and some players even suspect that it has been buffed a bit.
Although there are no indications of a buff, the Grau 5.56 is now back among the best weapons in Warzone. Its accuracy provides a good feeling when firing, giving you security and confidence. MeinMMO shows you how to get the best out of the assault rifle.
CoD Warzone – Grau setup for a secure feeling
How do I build a strong setup? The Grau essentially needs a classic setup for “Modern Warfare” assault rifles in Warzone. Mono suppressor, longest barrel, larger magazine and a under-barrel attachment for better aiming. However, you should do without a large sight.
Iron sights are so “clean” and open that you should try the weapon without a sight – even if you usually don’t like it. The Warzone expert “JGOD” calls the sight in his latest English YouTube video about the Grau the best iron sight ever in a CoD.
Warzone Grau 5.56 Build
Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: Tempus 26.4″ Archangel
Laser: Tactical Laser
Under-barrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammo: 60 Round Mag
The barrel and muzzle increase the range of your first damage zone to nearly 48 meters. Up to this distance, you need 9 hits to knock out an opponent with full armor (658 milliseconds). After that, you need 12 shots (904 milliseconds). Additionally, with the suppressor, you are not visible on the map when firing and have the strong iron sight and increased recoil control from the long barrel.
The Commando Foregrip brings the already low horizontal recoil to a hardly noticeable level, making the Grau a real laser. In terms of recoil control, only the M13 can keep up with automatic weapons, which sacrifices a bit more damage. A larger magazine is also set to exert more pressure when multiple enemies are in the line of fire.
The attachments mentioned so far can be seen as “base attachments”. They bring the Grau to a level where it performs decently at almost any distance. The last attachment is a matter of taste – we recommend the tactical laser here, which significantly lowers your “time to aim”.
However, you can also choose a stock, grip, or sight if you prefer that. The perk “Fully Loaded” can also help you if you prefer a weapon with full ammunition.
Grau can’t keep up in damage – but it doesn’t have to
How should I use the Grau? The weapon is an all-round rifle focused on range. You can land secure hits even at long distances and even annoy snipers when you see their sight glare, if you see their scope reflection. Try to get headshots at medium range. The Grau is so stable that you can aim for hard headshots here.
As a secondary weapon, you should equip a submachine gun, like the MAC-10 or one of the two MP5s. In 1v1 duels, you will quickly find yourself at a disadvantage in close combat otherwise. If you also have the tactical laser, enemies can spot you if you are in their sights.
How does it compare to other strong weapons? The Grau 5.56 profiles itself entirely through its strong iron sight and high stability. You can hit your targets much easier and more reliably than with the stronger competition. Since you’re saving a sight, you also have an attachment slot free that allows for other bonus selections. However, in the time-to-kill comparison, it ranks poorly:
If you celebrated the Grau at its last peak, it might be worth pulling it back out of the weapons cabinet now. Even if you are just looking for a stable weapon right now, you should try the rifle.
In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) you can earn points for good behavior in the future. The Battle Royale will receive a reputation system with update 10.2, allowing you to evaluate your teammates. Will toxic players become better people because of this?
What is the reputation system? The reputation system shows other players whether you behave decently or if you are a toxic flamer ruining the fun for everyone. The reputation level ranges from 0 to 5.
Your reputation is displayed to other players directly next to your username. It is also shown in team searches and the list of teammates.
The reputation system outwardly shows how you treat your teammates. This gives others an impression of what kind of teammate you are, as well as who you are playing with.
This is how the reputation system works in PUBG
At the start, everyone begins with a reputation level of 2. If you get reported for negative behavior, it can lead to a loss of reputation. Negative behavior is defined in the PUBG blog post about the new update as follows:
Hindering teammates through your own gameplay
Verbal outbursts in voice chat
Team kills
Repeatedly leaving matches without returning
Every PUBG player starts at level 2 in the new reputation system.
If a player violates PUBG’s terms of service, this can also lead to a downgrade in reputation level. In the future, cheaters may lose their entire in-game reputation in addition to a temporary ban. A report on suspected cheating has no impact on the reputation level.
Those who behave positively will be rewarded: Your reputation level increases with normal gameplay in both regular matches and ranked mode. As of now, positive ratings from teammates are not possible.
Hatred, cyberbullying, and sexual harassment are major problems on the internet and social networks, as well as in video games.
Behind the supposed anonymity, many tend to extreme reactions. Particularly when teammates have been randomly selected by the game and things aren’t going the way the player would like it to.
It doesn’t matter if you’re playing PUBG, Rocket League, Minecraft, or any other game with strangers. Many developers have already responded by integrating reporting systems into their games, trying to combat hate on the internet.
The player receives no feedback on whether a report has had any effect. So it is unclear whether and when a player will receive punishment for their behavior.
Players who behave well in PUBG gain more reputation.
This is how the new reputation system works: The visual display allows for an initial assessment of whether the teammate has shown positive behavior in the past or has behaved toxically towards others. With the system, a piece of anonymity fades, and other players may think twice about playing with someone who has a low level in the reputation system.
The incentive to behave positively and rank up may also lead many players to reconsider their own behavior.
Will this work? Anyone who is faced with a mirror and called “toxic” by the game may reconsider their attitude towards teammates.
Statements like: “How did you get to this low rank? You are actually nice?” could be common among friends. Through the visual branding as a toxic player, they will find it difficult to find suitable teammates in the future.
Whether PUBG will use the reputation system in the future with random teams is unknown. This scenario is conceivable, allowing nice and toxic players to be separated in the future.
Are there comparable systems in other games? In League of Legends, toxic players are already punished. Those who behave badly in LoL and insult others in chat are sometimes automatically banned. If someone wishes another to die (“kys” – Kill yourself), they will be banned for 14 days on first offense. If they continue to do so, they risk a permanent ban. Although there is no reputation system in the MOBA from Riot Games, the consistent action by developers against hate does have an effect, and at least in the in-game chat, players think twice before insulting a teammate.
PUBG will not be able to convert all toxic players into better people. But the step taken now is a right and important one to banish hate from the internet.
A Twitch streamer played Madden NFL 21 while having a small child on his lap. Because he was doing poorly in the game, he had a tantrum, slammed his controller violently on the table, and yelled at the child. The behavior outrages people online, who even attack the streamer’s family.
This is shown in the clip: The Twitch clip shows a young man with a child. The man is playing the football game Madden NFL 21. In the game, his opponent just made a long pass that the streamer cannot defend. He is already losing at the end of the 2nd quarter, 3-10, and the opponent now has a good chance to score before halftime.
This angers the Twitch streamer so much that he screams and slams his hand with the controller hard onto the table.
Then he looks at the controller and gets upset that the $300 controller is now broken. The child on his lap starts to scream. The man angrily fiddles with the controller and yells whether he can pause. The child continues to scream.
The man then puts the child behind him and says: “Stop it, I need to get away. I’m going to completely lose it otherwise.” When the child screams again, the man turns around and yells at the child to shut the hell up.
This is the reaction to the clip: The clip was shared on Twitter and went viral through retweets. A retweet from the account “Def Noodles” has almost 800,000 views and many angry comments. A YouTube channel with 6.33 million followers also covered the video (via YouTube).
The man’s behavior in the stream is being sharply criticized. It’s called child abuse and the cops should be informed. The outrage on Twitter is enormous.
People are calling for the youth welfare office to be involved.
Who is in the clip? The man in the clip appears to be a very small streamer with 87 followers, with an average of 5 people watching when he streams. Over the past 90 days, he has only been live for 10 hours.
His last stream on January 21 lasted only 25 minutes and was the first in 2 months. The clip is from this stream.
The streamer deleted his Twitch account and social media channels after the public outrage.
What happened next: The clip caused so much outrage that people on the internet found out who the streamer is, where he lives, and who is related to him. Apparently, the situation escalated and some of the streamer’s family were contacted to inform them about their terrible relative. From the family’s perspective, this bordered on harassment.
On Facebook, the streamer’s wife later said: “I appreciate all of you who have inquired about us and expressed your concern. We are taking care of the situation and I can assure you that my son and I are safe. We would like to ask you to pray for our family instead of harassing us.” (via facebook)
Another woman from the family says: She loves all 3 people involved in the story. It was a “devastating misjudgment,” but it should not define the lives of the entire family. The child is safe. The mother has taken all the right steps. People should stop harassing the family and pray for them. (via facebook)
How to calmly handle a situation as a streamer when a small child needs attention is shown in an incident from August 2019. A little girl simply turned off her father’s PC during his stream. The CS:GO streamer is known for his rage moments, but he behaved exemplary:
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, a player achieved an incredible lucky shot, which is now being massively celebrated by the community. Have you ever been this lucky in CoD?
What’s going on in CoD Cold War? Currently, in Black Ops Cold War, the second half of Season 1 – the first shared season with the Battle Royale Warzone – is taking place.
“Buy a lottery ticket” – Cold War clip causes excitement
It’s about a video from the traditional multiplayer mode of CoD: Black Ops Cold War, which the user llGaappll posted on the discussion platform reddit yesterday (January 24).
The clip shows: The video shows one, or rather 3 incredible lucky shots that a player managed on the multiplayer map Raid. Right at the beginning of a round, he fires a shot from his grenade launcher blindly in the general direction of the enemy spawn point – followed by 2 thrown tomahawks.
Shortly thereafter, you can see: He actually hits – and that 3 times! But see for yourself:

What’s so special about it? In principle, the title of the Reddit thread and numerous comments sum it up quite well: You simply can’t get much luckier than this.
While many players repeatedly try to land a lucky shot at the beginning of a round like this, it rarely happens that one actually hits.
Here, however, the player achieves 3 out of 3 possible hits – something that is practically nearly impossible.
What do otherplayers say? Many are excited and celebrate this extreme lucky shot. Just one day after the clip was posted, it has already received more than 10,400 upvotes.
A battle on the map “Raid”
There is also praise and congratulations in the comments, or simply astonishment. Here are some excerpts:
“Congratulations, you just used up all the luck in our world in 5 seconds”
“Probably one of the best top 5 plays of the game I have ever seen. Pure art”
“Clip of the year?”
“HOW?”
A comment that is often seen is: “Go and buy a lottery ticket”.
What about you? Have you ever had comparable luck in Black Ops Cold War, Modern Warfare, or another CoD? Have you ever managed such an extreme lucky shot? Let us know in the comments, along with other readers of MeinMMO.
In FIFA 21, you have to complete an online friendly match for the tasks in week 4 silver. Due to a bug, many players are unable to do this – but there is a solution.
This is the problem: In the week tasks of FIFA 21, you have to solve a seemingly simple task at the silver level. It says:
Play 1 online friendly match
Normally, you should just jump into the live friendlies and play a match there. However, the task in week 4 is not shown as completed if you, for example, play a match against strangers in the manager masterpiece to also complete the Sinkgraven task.
Despite having completed the match, many players do not receive credit for the task
How to Solve the Week 4 Silver Online Friendly Match
This is how the task works: The task is not completely lost. You can solve it through a workaround: To get a green checkmark for your task, you just need to complete an online friendly match with a friend.
If you play directly against a friend, it will be counted
To do this, you go into the friendly match mode and directly challenge one of your friends who also plays FIFA 21. After one match, your task should be marked with a green checkmark and counted as completed.
What are the week tasks for? The week tasks are part of the current season in FIFA 21, where you can earn rewards through seasonal progress. Every week, challenges with the difficulty levels Bronze, Silver, and Gold appear, which are unlocked as soon as you complete the previous level.
You need the weekly XP for the rewards
The seemingly faulty silver task can hold you back if you need as many XP as possible for seasonal progress, as you cannot reach the Gold tasks without it. There, you can get a whole lot of XP for your seasonal progress every week – and you will need that to reach level 30 on time and receive all the rewards.
The latest updates in Guild Wars 2 disappointed many players. They offered hardly any new content and recycled boring missions. In a livestream, the Narrative Director explained why the updates were so weak.
What’s going on in GW2? When the ongoing Icebrood Saga was announced in the summer of 2019, the developers promised content worthy of an expansion. However, such content has not been present in the previous updates.
The last two episodes were particularly disappointing:
The story was shorter than before
No new areas were introduced
They mainly focused on new “Dragon Assistance Missions.” These are instanced missions that always follow the same pattern and are not challenging for many.
Why are the updates so disappointing? In the latest Guild Chat, a livestream of the “Guild Wars 2” developers, Narrative Director Bobby Stein talked about the development of the Icebrood Saga.
He explained that normally plans for the future are established early on. However, the upcoming expansion “End of Dragons” was only decided during the development of the Icebrood Saga. And that led to changes in the plans.
How did the developers learn about the expansion? Before the announcement at PAX West in the summer of 2019, the developers stated that they knew where they wanted to go with the Icebrood Saga.
Thus, the beginning and end of the story were set, as well as the fundamental innovations.
However, in the middle of the development, plans for an expansion were made. And that surprised the developers:
At one point in the development of the Icebrood Saga, we were gifted with the opportunity to work on a new expansion, which, quite frankly, most or all of us wanted to do.
But it was a bit of a surprise.
Adjustments to the story: Thereupon, the developers had to make adjustments so that the Icebrood Saga could be implemented according to the old plans while simultaneously working on the expansion:
What we had to do then was say: “Okay, how do we deliver a satisfying ending while also working on an expansion? How can we get these things right?”
It was a big challenge to bring the people together and solve the problem as a group. It took time, but we reworked the story, we reworked the way it was told. […]
We had to see which plots stayed in and which we had to cut. It was quite a big change, but I think we have reached a point where we are quite happy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2N9zyLotQc
Why were these changes made? 2019 was a complicated year for Guild Wars 2 and developer ArenaNet:
Especially the last point is interesting from the community’s perspective. They suspect that the new director decided on the expansion in November 2019, necessitating the adjustments described by Bobby Stein.
Developers seem excited about the expansion
How is the community reacting to the statements? On reddit, many users feel confirmed in their suspicion that the expansion is the reason for the weak episodes of the Icebrood Saga. Thus, the user Keruli_ writes:
This is confirmation that everyone’s suspicions were completely correct. […]. They could have saved a lot of ridicule if they had been more open about all of this earlier, because proper communication is surprisingly important.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t undo the fact that someone from the top thought a simple new saga with a fancy and meaningless name would be enough to keep the ball rolling, and he was bold enough to continue, wasting a lot of resources and time.
However, some users react positively to the fact that the developers are eager for a new expansion. Thus, the user DiogoALS writes:
The team wanted to work on an expansion earlier, but they couldn’t until they were “gifted” with this opportunity in the middle of Icebrood Saga production.
The second part was easy to guess, but it’s interesting to see that most/all in the team WANTED to work on an expansion. Sometimes it feels from the outside that ANet doesn’t care much about this game anymore, and, well, the top management obviously doesn’t either […].
But still, it’s interesting to get some insight into the developers’ opinions and see that many of them really wanted a third expansion for GW2.
The new expansion End of Dragons must also be successful if Guild Wars 2 is to survive long-term. Because the Icebrood Saga ruined the concept of the Living World for many. How important the expansion really is, we have already summarized from MeinMMO:
Project Zomboid is one of the most realistic zombie simulations on Steam and a true gem for some hardcore survival fans. MeinMMO presents the infected title as part of “Find your next Game”.
Genre: Zombie Survival RPG | Developer: The Indie Stone | Platform: PC | Release: November 8, 2013 (Early Access)
What kind of game is this? Project Zomboid is a nasty survival title with RPG elements and a cooperative hidden gem on Steam. Just like the well-known TV series “The Walking Dead”, the modern world was surprised and overrun by a zombie apocalypse. Food, weapons, and safety are scarce – water and electricity will only flow through the pipes for a few more days. Project Zomboid wants to know – “How would you survive in a zombie apocalypse?”.
For this, the game places you in isometric view in an area that has been completely taken over by zombies. You and your optional teammates are the only ones lucky enough to have survived the undead apocalypse and now have the chance to survive in this harsh world. The game shines with a high simulation component and every small, wrong decision or carelessness can mean the end. It is one of those indie games that define themselves by the depth of their gameplay and offer you many details and mechanics. However, it makes significant sacrifices in graphics.
You can play on a private or public server, and there is even a local split-screen mode that supports Steam Remote Play. Large servers can support high player numbers, and there could be more than 100 survivors in a game competing for the best loot.
If you are not deterred by the appearance and are fans of zombie games or series like “The Walking Dead”, then take a good look at the following English fan trailer. What you see in it could consume your free time for the next few weeks, like a hungry zombie feasting on warm human brains:
https://youtu.be/4eBy0woHWjA
The trailer is in English, but you can play the game entirely in German.
Project Zomboid – “This is how you died”
How does the game work? You create a character in the character editor, which you can equip with skills and a profession. Here, the game shows its depth for the first time and offers you 41 positive and 36 negative traits, which either give you skill points if you choose something bad or deduct points for good traits.
In addition, there are 21 professions that, while also costing points, often provide an efficient mix of skills. For example, you can enter the game as a farmer with bonuses to “Fitness”, “Farming”, and “Strength” or play as a former burglar who brings advantages with the traits “Quick”, “Light-footed”, and “Sneaking”.
You create your own doomed character.
You create a character, choose a spawn point on the map, and the terror begins. To prepare you for the entry, the game then gives you the motivating lines “This is how you died” at the start. If your character dies in the game, you have to start with a “fresh” survivor to rejoin the game world.
Like many survival games, you are stressed at the beginning. On the “normal” difficulty, you have hardly any supplies, no weapon, and no idea at first. There is a tutorial, but that only scratches the surface of what you have to consider in the zombie simulation. You only know one thing: It’s about survival.
Comprehensive crafting & survival mechanics meet deep zombie gameplay
The zombie simulation uses many typical survival mechanics and offers extensive crafting options to make the adventure more exciting:
Day and night rhythm
Comprehensive RPG system – you level up and gain skill points for your passive abilities
You usually have to take risks for good loot
Zombies have swarm mechanics, which influence each other
Your character gets hungry, thirsty, sick, bored, and depressed
Piece by piece, the mechanics open up to you and you somewhat understand how survival works in the new world. Project Zomboid keeps surprising you with original gameplay ideas that make the game a real apocalypse simulator. There are mini-mechanics everywhere that make the zombie adventure feel deeper and more realistic. A few examples:
Areas you cannot see due to obstacles remain black – your line of sight also decides whether you see the zombies
You have to carry backpacks on your back, and they have their own inventory – taking something out of the backpack takes a moment
Bags can also be used for storage – but you have to carry them in one of your hands to use them
If you crawl through a broken window without removing the glass from the frame, you have a high chance of getting injured
If a character dies with a zombie infection, they also turn into a zombie afterwards
Your characters get panicked and develop mental issues during zombie attacks, resulting in penalties to your abilities
In the first few days of gameplay, there is still electricity and running water – for as long as you can learn skills on the TV and stock up on supplies
You should hang fabric in front of your windows so that zombies cannot see inside
Do not use firearms – otherwise they will come
In this hostile environment, it’s important to find a safer place for a shelter and expand your base. In towns, you will find countless more or less useful items, but also most of the zombies. You grow food, craft new tools, constantly fight off the undead, stay vigilant, and experience firsthand how a zombie apocalypse would impact your life. No other zombie game comes as close to being a “The Walking Dead” simulator as this one.
Why the Walking Dead comparison? On Steam, there is a review from user “.Samson” from January 2021 about Project Zomboid that says: “This is the “Walking Dead” simulator, but only the first good seasons.” And depending on your opinion on the series, he might be kind of right.
Every action poses a risk and you must try to keep your group together. Especially at the start of the game, you feel overwhelmed by the situation, and the danger of a zombie bite is ever-present. And zombie bites are deadly – always.
You build up your base, go on looting tours in zombie-infested cities, and constantly fight at the brink of a nervous breakdown to survive. Just like the group led by former sheriff Rick, where you sometimes don’t know if zombies or depression pose a greater danger to the protagonists of the series.
However, while “The Walking Dead” lost its momentum somewhere between Terminus and Alexandria for the author of this text, Project Zomboid unfolds even further with increasing playtime. And instead of becoming tedious, you can have zombie action anytime you want.
Theoretically, you even have the unpredictable element of “Human” in populated servers, which includes PvP in the game rules. However, there is currently no active PvP server that would allow role-playing like in the survival hit Rust.

Find out if you are strong enough for the apocalypse
What makes Project Zomboid special? If you’ve ever wondered if you would survive after a zombie apocalypse, you can find out with this insidious game.
Project Zomboid calls itself “the ultimate zombie survival RPG” and provides you with a huge sandbox in which you can experience your own apocalypse. Death lurks around every corner, but so do good loot and plenty of adventures. Maintaining your character’s body and mind keeps you as busy as a horde of undead in front of your base.
With mouse and keyboard, the controls resemble point-and-click adventures. You can move your character with the keyboard, but you check with your mouse which actions are possible at which point. Project Zomboid also offers complete controller support, which is well implemented.
Additionally, the graphics should be classified as “special”. Here, the simulation has its limits. Even though many gameplay mechanics support immersion and create a suffocating apocalyptic feeling – the graphics quickly remind you that you are fortunately sitting at home in your gaming chair and can reach into a bag of chips. Unlike the slowly starving character.

Top ratings on Steam – But slow development annoys
Players praise especially the high simulation aspect, and some share their outrageous experiences. For instance, one of the characters of user “_Clip_” had a heart attack when it got scared (via Steam). “SymmoT” mentions that he lost his character while cooking – because he was deaf and couldn’t hear the breaking windows of the invading zombies (via Steam).
The fascination that the game can trigger is best shown in the comment from user “djvirus” (via Steam):
I started playing this game when I was 13. Now I’m 17, have 1,000 hours, create community content, and love the game and its community so much. There really is no better survival game where you can customize your hardcore zombie apocalypse like here. The developers might be slow, but the content is gold every time. Plus, there’s always more content in the workshop.
Negative reviews often revolve around the big elephant in the room – the long development time. Project Zomboid has been in early access on Steam for more than 7 years and has already been one of the games that spent the longest in this pre-release mode as of 2017 (via GameStar).
Especially one criticism appears repeatedly in negative reviews: the lack of surviving NPCs that would bring more motivation and story to the game. They already existed in an early version but were “temporarily” removed and have not returned since. And that was years ago. Although mods can currently bring NPCs into the game, the developers have not fulfilled the NPC promise to this day. Also, negative reviewers feel that the endgame is too small if you manage to get your character there.
Another point of criticism is the graphics: The style itself is usually not the problem, but the lack of smaller animations to make actions more realistic. At the moment, many actions only show a progress bar filling up. A somewhat higher level of detail in the animations would give the simulation another boost.
Who is this for? Fans of grind-heavy cooperative survival adventures with a high crafting share like Minecraft, 7 Days to Die, or Conan Exiles should keep an eye on the title. The open world is huge and offers enough to do for days of looting tours followed by upgrading the base to the next level.
Those who are very fond of the zombie genre can also have a lot of fun with Project Zomboid. If after a season of “The Walking Dead” you feel the urge to experience the thrill of a zombie adventure yourself – give Project Zomboid a try.
Players of hardcore games that require strict resource management and thoughtful decisions for survival will also get their money’s worth. If you liked “Rimworld”, “This War of Mine” or “Frostpunk”, you can add Project Zomboid as the next fun time sink to your Steam library.
At €13.99, the price is also at a level where you can’t go too wrong. A 4-pack costs €45.99, reducing the price per copy to just under €11.50. There’s also a demo version on Steam to try out.
Pros
Unique hardcore zombie simulation
Deep gameplay
Huge open world
Appropriate old-school graphics
Weekly community updates from the developers
Strong as a coop game
Cons
Very long development time
Animation-poor graphics
Difficult to get started
No real story content
Rather weak for solo players
Project Zomboid brings the biggest update ever with Build 41
What can we expect from Project Zomboid in the future? A still rather slow development speed, but a steady one. The developers are, however, still very active and keep the community updated with weekly updates on “projectzomboid.com”.
Currently, a beta phase is running for the next Build 41, which the developers state is the biggest update of Project Zomboid ever. However, the beta is currently only available as a solo adventure.
New features of Build 41 include, among other things:
Reworked character creation & customization system
New combat options with fresh weapons – Change the difficulty of the fights
Zombies receive new behavioral patterns
Damage model for clothing
A armor system that protects against zombie attacks at different levels
Improvement of vehicle mechanics
Fresh audio effects
Expanded weather system
More types of broken glass and corresponding injuries
More realistic loot system – the loot should fit more to the environment in which you find the loot
The new build will be so extensive that old save files cannot be transferred. The developers mention on a Project Zomboid website that they are creating a foundation with the upcoming update to make the game world even more lively and realistic, and tease with Build 42 wildlife that will populate the vast forests.
But even without the major innovations coming in future updates, Project Zomboid is a strong zombie simulation and a great hardcore survival game that you can still expand through mods.
Conclusion: Don’t get bitten by your friends!
Project Zomboid was one of those small games that kept being suggested to me on Steam for years. At some point, I had a chat with a gaming colleague about it, and suddenly it ended up in the shopping cart. And I haven’t regretted it.
Because this hardcore survival adventure is once again such a deep indie game that it continues to surprise with newly discovered mechanics even after several sessions. The graphics are not more than “serviceable”, but the game simply convinces with its gameplay mechanics.
There is always something to do, and the undead are a constant threat while searching for loot. Over many hours of gameplay, you will discover new items and crafting options that open up a new loot loop and keep the motivation going.
This can also work solo, but it’s a lot more fun in a group. Or to put it in the form of a Steam review: “I starved to death in the woods with my girlfriend at night. She went down just before me, turned into a zombie, and I was shredded by her: 10/10”.
In Pokémon GO the first trainers have reached level 48. Now we finally know how leveling continues and how difficult the requirements for level 49 are.
This has now happened: It took 9 weeks, but now the first players are at level 48 in Pokémon GO. Trainers from Australia have achieved this – there, the new levels were tested in advance. So the Australian trainers had an advantage over all other players.
Now we know what tasks are required for level 49. Here, especially trades will be important.
Tasks for Level 49 in Pokémon GO
What needs to be done for level 49: There are again 4 tasks that trainers must master. This time it’s about trading Pokémon and sending gifts:
Trade 10 Pokémon that were caught at least 300 kilometers apart
Receive 50 lucky Pokémon through trades
Send 500 gifts to friends
Receive 35 platinum medals
How challenging are the new tasks? Receiving lucky Pokémon could become quite tricky. 50 lucky friends will be open for very few trainers, so you have to rely on lucky Pokémon within normal trades. The probability varies depending on the age of the Pokémon. The older the monsters, the more likely the chance of lucky Pokémon.
35 platinum medals are also not to be underestimated. Here you need some exotic medals to achieve this goal.
Why did level 47 take so long? For level 47, trainers must have received a 25-kilometer reward from Adventure Sync 8 times. However, this reward is only available once a week. So, you have to wait at least 8 weeks to solve this task.
In the end, the level in Australia actually took 9 weeks. This was due to the fact that in the first week, the Adventure Sync reward was not counted for the level. This was a mistake that was fixed the following week.
When will it continue in Germany? German trainers have reduced the gap due to the error in the first week in Australia. Here, too, the first trainers have likely reached level 48. Now it’s a race to see who will be the first player to reach level 50.
It remains to be seen when the first trainer will reach level 49 and what tasks await the players at level 50.
The MMORPG Neverwinter (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S) has received a major update that has revamped the combat. However, not everyone is happy about it, raising a significant question around MMORPGs in general.
What kind of update is this? Extensive changes have been made to the combat system, which affect the scaling of player levels in the various adventure areas, the item levels of gear, micromanagement, and more. This is intended to make Neverwinter more understandable and interesting.
Neverwinter has become more interesting for groups due to the recent changes.
Neverwinter becomes more interesting and challenging for groups
What is the problem? The changes have led to controversial discussions. Not everyone likes them. Player MotelKhon summarizes the changes as follows (via reddit):
Previously, Neverwinter played out like this:
Enter dungeon
Max-level guy rushes ahead with a 150% speed buff while you’re still at the beginning and can’t catch up
Max-level guy takes out all enemies with just one hit
You toil away and occasionally join the group to reach the tough checkpoints, essentially doing nothing else.
Overworld content was basically “cookie clicker” meaning “click wildly on the monster and it dies immediately”.
You mostly log in just to let some max-level guy drag you through the daily quests and then log out.
With the combat update, things are now different:
You actually need to play your roles in the dungeon
Fight together or die alone
Mechanics matter; dodging area-of-effect attacks, using the block button…
The equipment makes a noticeable difference
Fights feel more direct; you actually have to think about the combat strategy
Now you log in to play a co-op MMO with your buddies, where cooperation actually matters
However, not everyone agrees with him here:
Radian-Yam-1285 writes (via reddit): “People are just mad that they have spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours building their characters to be able to handle higher level content. And then Cryptic just comes along and introduces a combat overhaul that forces players to reinvest the time and money they have spent to tackle higher level content.”
Shoziku agrees (via reddit): “That’s the problem. They keep making drastic changes, and every time you invest time, effort, or money, everything gets nerfed or removed.”
RikRakJones agrees with MotelKhon but points out a problem (via reddit): “I agree with everything you said, but as a long-time Neverwinter player, the problem is not that the content is “hard” or that the content is no longer “easy one-shot”. The content is damn near impossible to do solo because the developers ADVERTISE solo content in-game with a companion.”
Going solo in Neverwinter is no longer a good idea since the update.
So what exactly are players complaining about? It’s about the fact that many of Neverwinter’s contents could previously be mastered alone, and many players enjoyed the MMORPG this way. In the tips displayed on loading screens, it even mentions that you can play the content solo with a companion in co-op. And that is no longer the case since the overhaul of the combat system.
For those wanting to play Neverwinter solo with a companion, they now face nearly insurmountable obstacles. A group is basically required now.
This bothers MotelKhon: The player understands the criticism of the solo content, but also explains that in his opinion, players represent the problem in the development of MMORPGs. He writes:
I just thought it was an interesting observation about the “modern MMO player base” and how you have to take care of them. It seems they don’t really want to play a game, but would rather be hooked up to a dopamine drip and let the game play itself while the numbers go up.
And this is not just true for Neverwinter. This post is an observation of what the lowest common denominator is nowadays.
MotelKhon is fundamentally saying that Neverwinter has become more challenging and is returning more towards being an MMORPG as group play has become more important. Yet, it seems that some players do not want that. They complain that they can no longer do the content alone and demand that the changes be reverted.
Therefore, MotelKhon wonders if it is the players with their expectations and playing styles that are contributing to the decline of the entire MMORPG genre.
On January 27, FIFA 21 will release TOTW 18 (Team of the Week). Here on MeinMMO, you can find out who might secure a spot in the next Team of the Week.
What is the Team of the Week? Every week, EA Sports assembles a new TOTW. This team consists of 23 players who have performed strongly in the last week.
For this, they receive a spot in the Team of the Week as well as upgraded Inform cards, which can then be found in packs for one week.
These are TOTW Predictions: Every week, the FUT community tries to guess which players could make it into the TOTW. The performances of the players are analyzed closely, and predictions are made.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that the predictions are not guarantees and may differ from the actual TOTW.
They provide a good overview and can also be excellent for earning some coins in FUT 21. Here we reveal how you can do that:
Keep in mind with the current Team of the Week that players represented in the TOTY (Team of the Year) cannot receive TOTW cards. Therefore, Kimmich will not be in the next TOTW despite his 3 assists in the 4:0 victory against Schalke 04.

These Bundesliga players could receive new Inform cards: The predictions this week might particularly please FUT players with Bundesliga teams. There are plenty of players who have stood out with strong performances in the last two Bundesliga match days.
David Alaba could secure a spot in the next TOTW since Kimmich and Müller already have current special cards. However, he also impressed with a strong performance against Schalke and scored a beautiful goal, winning the match without conceding.
This could be what Alaba’s first Inform card looks like
Jiri Pavlenka may not have kept a clean sheet in the 4:1 win of Bremen against Hertha BSC, but he prevented a total of 9 shots on goal from the Berlin side. A TOTW card would certainly be deserved for the Bremen goalkeeper.
Nico Elvedi is a center-back, but that did not stop him from scoring 2 goals against Borussia Dortmund, leading to a 4:2 victory.
Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen had a strong game against BVB. He scored one goal and assisted another. A performance that definitely calls for an Inform card.
Filip Kostic had a strong game against Arminia Bielefeld, contributing with precise passes as well as one goal and one assist for the final score of 5:1. Whether he will make it into the TOTW remains to be seen on Wednesday.
Andrej Kramaric has impressed in the last two match days. In both matches, the forward scored 2 goals each, which speaks volumes. If he does not receive an Inform card, it would be a surprise.
Thanks to the reduction of spell batching, many things will soon be more reliable in WoW Classic. Statements like “The heal was actually through” will come to an end.
Not much is happening currently in World of Warcraft Classic. Many players eagerly await the BlizzConline in February, hoping for the announcement of “The Burning Crusade Classic.” However, a small change is coming. As reported by MeinMMO, the duration of spell batching is being reduced. Currently, WoW Classic “collects” all requests for spells and abilities from players and processes them in intervals of 0.4 seconds simultaneously.
How long has it been like that in retail WoW? The massive spell batching of 400ms was actually active in World of Warcraft much longer than many players think. Originally, it was not removed with The Burning Crusade, but only in 2014 with the expansion Warlords of Draenor. This is evident from an old post from that year in which Blizzard employee Celestalon explained what all the changes affected. The statements also apply to the reduction of spell batching in Classic, of course.
Only with Warlords of Draenor was the value eliminated from 400ms in spell batching.
What does this have to do with healing? Anyone playing a healer or tank in WoW Classic surely knows the situation. The tank’s health points drop dramatically, and the healer starts sweating. From the healer’s perspective, the spell is cast, and the tank is healed in time. However, the small delay of up to 400ms means that the tank dies, but the healing is still considered completed. Because during the delay, the mob simply dealt another blow and ended the fight prematurely.
With a shorter interval of 10ms, this can still happen, but it’s significantly rarer and hardly noticeable. Thus, “The heal was actually through” will truly just be an excuse.
Healing that goes through – soon a regular occurrence, even in tight situations.
What else will improve? The adjustments to spell batching from 400ms to 10ms bring a number of other improvements as well. Many processes in the game will then work faster and can be completed almost “instantly.” These include:
Looting items from a corpse
Opening letters and retrieving their contents
Selling items to an NPC vendor
But there are also several improvements for combat situations due to the change:
Tank taunts are now almost instantly active and not delayed
Warriors can use “Execute” more frequently as the game recognizes the current HP value of the enemy faster
Mages and other crowd control effects are hardly able to be used simultaneously by two players against each other (for example, two mages turning each other into sheep at the same time)
Rogues can enter stealth without being immediately pulled out by an instant cast spell
There are many changes being made to WoW Classic as a result. While some players do not like this as it changes the “Classic” feel, PvP and PvE should play out much smoother because of it.
In WoW Classic, the spell batching of 400ms comes to an end. Because if the current PTR test runs positively, Blizzard will likely release patch 1.13.7 soon. Players hope that this will coincide with the announcement of “The Burning Crusade Classic”.
What do you think of the change?

With luck, the PlayStation 5 might be available for order again this week. However, the quantities are likely to be very limited. Significant restocks are probably not expected until February.
Current availability status of the PS5: The PS4 could last be ordered in small quantities in Germany on December 3, 2020. Since then, the PlayStation 5 has been sold out again. Those still waiting for a chance to buy Sony’s new console might get lucky this week. Otherwise, it seems one would have to wait at least until the second half of February.
Although German retailers received new stock since the end of last week, large portions of it seem to be reserved to cover outstanding orders. So if new orders are indeed taken this week, you will have to be quick and very lucky.
Whether the PS5 should be lying down or standing up, many are still unable to ask themselves
If you want to try your luck, pay attention to the following retailers from now on:
Amazon
Alternate
Expert
Otto
GameStop
Conrad
Medimax
Müller
MediaMarkt
Saturn
Spielegrotte
It is currently unclear who among them might offer the PS5 again this week (especially whether they will and in what quantity), but if they do, you have the best chances here.
And if you are wondering: According to Gameswirtschaft MediaMarkt and Saturn are also likely to rejoin the sale.
If it actually comes to sale this week, we will quickly provide an update on the specific retailers involved here on MeinMMO.
The PlayStation 5
What if it doesn’t work out this week? If it doesn’t go on sale this week or you have no luck, you will likely have to wait a few more weeks.
According to Gameswirtschaft, which is considered a reliable source, well-known suppliers are not expecting significant replenishments until the second half of February. At the earliest (from February 15), a larger order wave is expected again.
Good news for already waiting customers: If you have already (pre)ordered a PS5 and are still waiting for the console, you might soon have it in your hands. Last week, Saturn resumed delivery, and it seems there is finally movement at MediaMarkt too. More on this can be found here: MediaMarkt and Saturn are delivering PS5 again – When will there be more?
If you notice that new PS5s are offered by regular retailers this week, please let us and others know in the comments.

In Destiny 2, the tyranny of the Stasis Hunter in the Crucible should come to an end with a harsh nerf. However, the Shatterdive combo still kills almost everything in one hit. An expert suspects a bug, as a super receives ridiculous damage.
This is what should happen: At the end of last year, the Stasis Hunter evolved into the tyrant of PvP. With his combo of Shatterdive, Glacier Grenade, and suitable fragments, he could instantly kill enemy Guardians from great distances with just one attack – even in an active super, one was not safe.
The whole thing left the victims no time to react and could be used very regularly in matches.
Bungie responded and returned after the winter break with a harsh nerf for the Revenant and the Shatterdive. In Patch 3.0.2 on January 19, it was supposed to be the case.
Even the changes to Shatterdive and the aspect “Whispers of the Rift” were agreed upon by Hunter mains.
Thus, the balance in the Crucible should be restored. But as an expert has now discovered, the Hunter seems unwilling to be nerfed.
What has been found now? Fallout Plays has made a name for himself in the community with his detailed test videos. He shows on January 23 that the Stasis Hunter with his combo is still able to knock out almost everything instantly.
Despite – according to the patch notes – reduced range and significant damage loss, the Hunter can still smash just like before the patch.
Check out the video from Fallout Plays here:

Was the patch faulty or does Bungie want an OP Hunter?
This is strange: The only super that actually has reduced damage from the killer combo is the Colossus Titan. Here, the damage numbers from the shatter explosion are even absurdly low and barely scratch the Titan’s health bar in his super.
All other supers show significantly higher values and take so much damage that they can easily be one-shotted. With the exception of the Spectral Blade in the invisible state – which barely survives the combo (the reason is the enormous damage reduction during invisibility, not the reduced Shatterdive damage).
The Colossus takes the Shatterdive masterfully, while all other supers do not.
One might now think that the Colossus itself is a Stasis super and receives less damage from Stasis skills. That is not the case: The other Stasis super, the Shadebinder Warlock, is reliably smashed out of his super – with nicely high damage numbers.
Our MeinMMO reader Chris has discovered in his tests that the maximum range of the Shatterdive combo is now significantly lower than before the patch.
This is what the expert thinks: Fallout believes that the nerf for Hunters has somehow not been delivered correctly. The only super that now receives “proper” damage from Shatterdive and the Glacier Grenade is the Colossus Titan. For all other supers, the planned nerf seems not to be working at the moment.
Developer Bungie has not yet officially commented on the discovery. MeinMMO will keep you informed about this.
What do you think? Does the nerf not work properly and was the patch faulty, or should the Hunter continue to smash everything in one blow? Let us know in the comments.
In FIFA 21, the ratings of the midfield players of the TOTY have been released today. You can now get them for a short time.
This is the TOTY: Since Friday evening, the Team-of-the-Year event in Ultimate Team has been running. As every year, it brings extremely strong cards, which players could vote on beforehand.
At the start of the event, the values of the attackers were already revealed before they entered the packs. Now, the midfield players are following, while the defenders are still missing.
The TOTY midfield ratings are so strong
These cards are included: In total, there are three cards in the midfield of the Team of the Year. The members were already known, and now we also know their values:
Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United has fantastic offensive stats on his new 97-rated card. Especially in passing, the Portuguese stands out, but dribbling and shooting are also extremely strong. Currently, this is one of the best cards in the game.
Kevin de Bruyne has also received a strong card with a 96 rating. The midfielder from Manchester City is very strong in all offensive areas and is likely to shine as both a playmaker and a finisher in attack.
Joshua Kimmich is participating as a Bundesliga representative and has received a very good 96-rated card. The Bayern player is particularly equipped with strong defensive stats and is likely to be the perfect link between your defense and offense.
How to get TOTY cards? Unfortunately, the chances of getting cards from the TOTY are very low. You need a lot of luck to pull the TOTY members from packs – especially since currently only the midfielders are available in packs. In a few days, the defenders will follow before the team is once again expected to be fully available in packs.

Fortnite
Genre: Battle Royale | Developer: Epic Games | Platform: PC, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S, Switch, iOS, Android | Release Date: September 26, 2017 | Model: Free2Play
What is Fortnite?Fortnite: Battle Royale is the BR version of the PvE game Fortnite. The spinoff has now overshadowed the original game in popularity and is one of the most popular games with millions of players worldwide.
As is common in the BR genre, you jump with 99 other players over an island, looking for weapons and ensuring that either you or your team remains at the end.
The gameplay of Fortnite is quite simple; the weapons have only one firing mode each, and the inventory is also kept manageable.
The big feature of Fortnite, however, is building. You can dismantle almost the entire game world and craft fortifications and other structures from it.
The developers demonstrate an enormous pace with updates and regularly expand the game with new features, bring fresh weapons, remove old ones, or change the balance.
Challenges motivate players to provide themselves with variety in gameplay by focusing on certain weapons or completing tasks in the world.
The Free2Play Model of Fortnite
How free is it really? The Battle Royale mode of Fortnite is free to play and can be played without restrictions. There is an item shop that exclusively sells cosmetic items, including skins and emotes.
About every 10 weeks, a new Battle Pass is released. This is a progression system that allows you to unlock items during the validity period. The pass costs 9.50 euros but does not provide any gameplay advantages and can even be purchased with in-game currency that you could unlock in the previous pass.

With the many updates, occasionally poorly thought-out features are introduced
Who is Fortnite suitable for? If you like shooters and also enjoy games like Minecraft, then Fortnite is for you. Here, you first build cover when being shot at, and then try to trick the opponent and lure them out of their cover.
Additionally, there are plenty of cool events and crazy new features. The funny comic graphics add to the experience.
What is Pokémon GO?Pokémon GO is an augmented reality app for mobile devices that allows you to find and catch small, cute monsters in the real world.
These “Pokémon” appear in specific locations in the real world. If you find one, you can hit it with a virtual ball to catch it.
The caught monsters can then be leveled up and made to fight against other players in arenas or participate in raids to hunt particularly powerful and even legendary Pokémon.
Those who play Pokémon GO must move a lot. New items, like balls or berries, are obtained at fixed locations, known as PokéStops.
The Free2Play Model of Pokémon GO
How free is it really? The app is free, and you can play all the content in Pokémon GO without spending money. You can complete one free raid per day. You can catch an unlimited number of monsters until your pockets are full.
You can also earn 50 coins of in-game currency per day by defending gyms. This is equivalent to about 50 cents.
If you save the daily coins, you can purchase many items in the in-game shop, such as raid passes, incubators, or lucky eggs. There are also special boxes with discounts available.
If you don’t like to save, you can buy items faster with real money. This way, you can do multiple raids in one day and level up faster with lucky eggs. However, this can also be done without real money and just through the coins earned in the game.

Thanks to the app, one gets fresh air and stays active
Regular events make the game sweeter for trainers
The target audience is huge. From young to old, anyone can enjoy Pokémon GO.
Contra
In the countryside, there is less to do, as fewer Pokémon spawn. Gyms and PokéStops are rarer to find.
Some bugs disrupt the game. These occur in many places, such as in raids or when catching Pokémon.
Who is Pokémon GO suitable for? If you enjoy playing virtual games but want to be outdoors, Pokémon GO provides an interesting way to combine both.
The game continuously lures you outside, and while searching for special Pokémon and remote PokéStops or gyms, you may discover regions of your home that you didn’t know about.
And if you’ve been a fan of the adorable little creatures since the 90s, you will likely make joyful noises at every Pikachu or Snorlax you find.
Keep in mind that there is currently a risk of contracting the coronavirus for yourself and others. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying home as much as possible, maintaining distance from others, and avoiding crowds. Niantic has implemented various measures so you can play Pokémon GO from home.
League of Legends (LoL)
Genre: MOBA | Developer: Riot Games | Platform: PC | Release Date: October 27, 2009 | Model: Free2Play
What is League of Legends?League of Legends, short LoL, is one of the most successful MOBAs in the world.
The popular competitive game has millions of active players who regularly engage in exciting battles for victory.
In LoL, you can expect typical MOBA gameplay. You choose a champion from a vast selection of characters with unique attributes and skills. Along with up to four other players on your team, you then engage in combat against other champions.
With the help of AI-controlled “minions” and clever use of skills, you must destroy the opponents’ fortifications, level up quickly, and ultimately capture the enemy’s base before they do the same to you.
Each match begins with your champion at level 1, and as the game progresses, your character becomes stronger, gaining additional abilities and levels. Want to get started in LoL? Then check out our comprehensive guide for beginners in League of Legends.
The Free2Play model of League of Legends
How free is it really? The download and playing of League of Legends are fundamentally free. However, you only have a small portion of the available champions to choose from. The free selection rotates every week, offering new heroes regularly.
However, if you want to permanently have a champion, you must unlock it or purchase it with real money. Additionally, there are alternative skins for the champions available for real money, which are purely cosmetic. Through special events, you can also earn free skins from time to time.
You can also purchase additional runepages with real money (and in-game currency), which provide a slight advantage in the game.

LoL draws players “right in”, absorbing their attention because high concentration is necessary
Contra
Lots of grind needed to unlock everything
The community has a reputation for being toxic
Entry is difficult for MOBA beginners
Who is League of Legends for? Fans of flashy fantasy and action-packed MOBA gameplay will not go wrong here. Anyone who can relate to the gameplay of MOBAs should definitely check out LoL and play a few rounds.
But get yourself a thick skin because the comments from your teammates and opponents can be quite nasty.
Apex Legends
Genre: Battle Royale | Developer: Respawn Entertainment | Platform: PC, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S | Release Date: February 4, 2019 | Model: Free2Play
What is Apex Legends?Apex Legends is a fun battle royale game by the Titanfall developers. The game launched in 2019 unexpectedly out of nowhere and there was no hype beforehand. Apex quickly became a hit nonetheless or perhaps because of that.
However, the developer Respawn must have thoroughly examined the mechanics of BR games and seriously thought, “How can we do this better?”.
The result is a game that gave the genre a solid boost of cool features, including a fantastic gunplay and plenty of comfort features that have since been eagerly adopted by the competition. This also includes the brilliant “ping system”.
Essentially, Apex Legends is a typical battle royale game where you jump onto an island with 2 teammates and must survive as long as possible. To do this, you collect weapons and gear and fend off opponents.
As a special feature, Apex Legends also has various characters that you choose as an avatar before the game. Each of these “Legends” has its own skills, making teamwork and clever use of skills very important.
The Free2Play Model of Apex Legends
How free is it really? You can download Apex Legends completely for free and play without restrictions. However, there is a real money currency and a shop. There, you can only purchase cosmetic items such as weapon and character skins.
You can unlock new characters or purchase them with real money. However, six characters are free for every player.
Additionally, there is a Battle Pass, which you can level up over a certain period of time. You also have to purchase it with real money currency, but those who play a lot can get the in-game currency back in the pass. Some of the rewards in the Battle Pass are free and can be obtained by everyone.

Numerous comfort features like ping and community drop
Different characters with skills
Excellent gunplay
Contra
Only one active map
Second map mostly active only during events
No solo mode
Who is Apex Legends suitable for? If you enjoy Battle Royale games but can’t stand overly colorful comic graphics and building, then Apex Legends is your game!
The title impresses with its wonderful gunplay and fast pace. The game is extremely accessible and even offers exciting and fun rounds with random players.
What is Call of Duty: Warzone? CoD: Warzone is a free battle royale spin-off of the popular Call of Duty series. Up to 150 players can compete against each other either solo or in teams.
Call of Duty: Warzone does a few things differently than its genre counterparts. You can call in your custom-made loadouts via supply drops, and death isn’t as final as with many other representatives of the genre. You have the chance to return to the warzone if you emerge victorious from a duel in the gulag.
In the warzone, you are not just on foot but can also grab one of the various vehicles. Cars, trucks, quads, and even a helicopter.
The Free2Play Model of Call of Duty: Warzone
How free is it really? Call of Duty: Warzone is free to play. Through an in-game shop, you can buy operator or weapon skins, as well as charms and emblems in bundles, which are purely cosmetic.
The more you play, the higher your rank rises, which in turn unlocks new weapons, gear, and skins. If you frequently use the same weapon, it will also level up, allowing you to unlock useful attachments.
Those who own Call of Duty: Modern Warfare can also unlock additional cosmetic items in Warzone.
You don’t have to spend money to enjoy Warzone and unlock more skins and weapons. If you want to give your weapon a specific look, you can purchase the skins in the shop.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Call of Duty: Warzone
Pro
Good and polished CoD gunplay meets Battle Royale
Fast-paced gameplay without complicated inventories
Cool ways to respawn after death
Contra
Only one map
Newcomers have a disadvantage as the good weapons need to be unlocked
The playlist changes regularly and not all “squad sizes” are always available
Who is Call of Duty: Warzone suitable for? If you enjoy battle royale games and are a big fan of the Call of Duty series, you can go ahead with confidence.
The mechanics, the fast-paced combat, and also the vehicles make Call of Duty: Warzone a great BR title, where it won’t get boring quickly. Even beginners will warm up after a few rounds and can reach the top.

In Destiny 2, you can now earn the title “Guardian”. Here you will find tips on the Triumphs for the Fallen-Spawn Hunts from Season 12 and all necessary weapon kills.
This is how seasonal titles work: Particularly diligent Guardians can earn cool titles in Destiny 2. Those who complete all of the tough challenges or time-consuming requirements unlock a name addition. Other Guardians will see this title and immediately know what a tough cookie you are.
You can earn special titles in raids or PvP, but each season also introduces a so-called seasonal title. In Season 12, it is called “Guardian” (Eng. Warden) and revolves around the Fallen-Spawn Hunt, Crow, and the mystery surrounding Hawkmoon.
Starting from Season 13, a new title system will be introduced, reminiscent of the popular Prestige from Call of Duty:
All Triumphs for the Guardian Seal: To unlock a title, you must complete a handful of Triumphs. You can view the individual tasks and their progress at any time in the Triumphs tab in the menu.
MeinMMO shows you all 11 Triumphs needed for the Guardian title in a clear table
Afterwards, we will show you tips that can save you time and more details about the tough challenges.
Keep in mind that the game states you should master 19 Triumphs, but there are only 11, as some give you progress multiple times.

This is how you become a Guardian in the Season of the Hunt in Destiny 2
How much time do I have? You can only complete the Guardian title of Season 12 since January 19 (or for some due to bugs from January 22). The next Season 13 starts on February 9 and brings a new seasonal title.
However, Bungie is now reducing FOMO in Destiny. Almost all activities relevant for the Guardian title will remain in the game until Fall 2021. Therefore, we strongly assume that you can still earn the Guardian title later if you prepare some things now.
The required Triumphs are divided into 3 categories
Fallen-Spawn Hunts
Seasonal Missions/Quests
Weapon Kills
Most of the Triumphs here are quite self-explanatory but time-consuming. Others have hidden details.
Tips for Fallen-Spawn Hunts and Missions for the Guardian title
To provide your lure all necessary upgrades, you only need to complete regular Fallen-Spawn Hunts. Each time you collect reconnaissance data, and accordingly, you will automatically and directly reach Level 7. All information about the Cryptolith Lure can be found here.
It is somewhat tricky to find the 4 mentioned bosses. To fight Savek, HKD-1, Dul Arath, and Xilox at Level 2, you first have to set the corresponding boss in the first slot of your lure as prey. Afterwards, ensure that a “Strong Mutation Mod” is still in the 3rd slot of the lure. The bosses rotate through with loot variations after each lure use.
Equip the lure with a strong mutation mod
In the “Coup de Grâce” mission, you must also pay attention to not deal too much damage to the High Celebrant at once after a patch. Otherwise, he may sometimes become immune and you cannot complete the mission.
For the Omen activity, it is advisable to team up. The power level is quite high at 1,270. You can also start the mission from orbit (EDZ) after your first visit. Make sure to bring elemental damage, as “Match Game” is active and otherwise you could hardly break the enemies’ shields. More about the mission can be found here on MeinMMO: Destiny 2: How to get Hawkmoon with random rolls and their catalyst
The triumph for completing the Omen activity with 3 Guardians, each using Hawkmoon, was fixed by Bungie on January 22 (Twitter).
If you equip all 5 armor pieces of the “Wild Hunt” set, you receive 5 points for the multi-stage triumph for each Fallen-Spawn. Keep in mind that you defeat 2 bosses in each hunt, so do not equip the armor only at the end. Furthermore, only the legendary armor itself gives fast progress; the ornaments from the season pass do not count.
The “Wild Hunt” set is available multiple times in the season pass, at Crow, and after Fallen-Spawn hunts
How many kills you need to make with the weapons from Season 12
You can complete the required kills basically in all activities, not just in Fallen-Spawn Hunts. If you have a favorite farming spot, you can target them there or simply work through them over time.
Hailstorm (Submachine Gun): This weapon is available from Crow or as hunt loot.
400 kills
200 kills from close range (feel free to fire from the hip; you really need to get close to the enemy)
Thunderous Whisper (Grenade Launcher): This weapon is available from Crow or as hunt loot.
200 kills
50 quick multi-kills (just shoot into a group of adds; the AoE damage will decimate the whole horde)
Explosive Pursuit (Grenade Launcher): You will first obtain this weapon at level 45 in the season pass
