After the launch of the action RPG Cyberpunk 2077 went disastrously, some players are requesting refunds. They received their money back, but they are allowed to keep the game at least for now.
Cyberpunk 2077 can still be played despite the refund
What are players saying about the refunds? Several buyers of Cyberpunk 2077 report on the website VICE that they received their money very quickly after filling out the online refund form. So there is no reason to complain.
However, some are puzzled that while they received their money, they are still allowed to keep Cyberpunk 2077. This is even true for the collector’s edition, which costs around 250 US dollars. Customers report this for both the digital version and the disc version.
The collector’s edition of Cyberpunk 2077 offers plenty of content.
I was surprised that I didn’t have to return the collector’s edition. So I still have everything. As a customer, I feel that they have ‘made it right’. Just prove your purchase and you will get your money back.
What does the collector’s edition offer? In the collector’s edition of Cyberpunk 2077, in addition to the game, there is a 25-centimeter tall statue of V in action, a hardcover art book, a world compendium, postcards from Night City, a map of the city, stickers, metal pins, patches, and a steelbook. And all of this comes in a very large, stylish box.
Player Ben also reports that he applied for a refund and was able to keep the game:
Strangely, I still have access to the game through my Xbox; it doesn’t show as revoked, even though I sent them the code. No idea how this will affect things in the long run.
Ben, buyer of Cyberpunk 2077
Can players really keep Cyberpunk 2077? Normally, a refund of the purchase price is also associated with the return of the corresponding product. Why players are allowed to keep Cyberpunk 2077 even though they have already received their money back is unclear.
Those who filled out the online form from CD Projekt Red for the refund were informed that they must return the game. When this was to happen was not mentioned.
It is therefore quite possible that players will receive a message from CD Projekt Red with a request to send the game back. There has not been an official statement regarding the situation from the development studio yet.
Cyberpunk 2077 will receive a multiplayer mode in the future. MeinMMO author Florian Franck thinks, he knows what it will look like.

When does the TOTY come to FIFA 21? The “Team of the Year” will be released tonight, January 22, 2021, at 7 PM in FIFA 21. A loading screen within Ultimate Team indicates this:
The countdown ends at 7:00 PM on Friday evening
At this time, the event will start. The TOTY is among the most anticipated promos in FIFA every year, as it brings extremely boosted cards for 11 players who have managed to make it through in the TOTY voting.
What to expect in the TOTY of FIFA 21
Which players are included? Which players are officially included is still unknown. The final TOTY eleven will likely be announced at the event start at 7:00 PM. Should any cards be announced beforehand, we will keep you updated here.
It is certain that the TOTY eleven will consist of a selection of nominees that players were allowed to vote on recently. So it must be 11 of the following players who were originally available for voting:
TOTY leak about Kevin de Bruyne: The club Manchester City announced that Kevin de Bruyne has supposedly made it into the TOTY again. The club shared this post on Twitter – so de Bruyne is expected to be included:

Predictions for the Team of the Year: While the official members are not yet known, there are already plenty of TOTY predictions in the community for which players could be included. There are some favorites that could be in the TOTY tonight. Among the closer favorites are players like:
Attack: C. Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Messi, Mbappé, Neymar
Midfield: De Bruyne, Kimmich, Bruno Fernandes, Thiago
Defense: Alexander-Arnold, Ramos, Van Dijk, Davies
Goal: Neuer, Alisson
Which players have actually made it by the end, the TOTY release will show.
How to get TOTY cards? The Team of the Year is expected to appear first only in packs. It is still unclear whether the entire eleven will be available directly, or if it will be released in stages over several days. In the past, it happened that attackers were available for a few days first, then midfield and defense in packs, before all players were available at a later time.
The TOTY cards will also land on the transfer market, but they will be extremely expensive. Here you will need plenty of coins to secure a TOTY member.
What else does the event bring? It is to be expected that there will also be special SBCs and tasks with which you can secure special rewards during the TOTY event. How this will look is yet to be revealed at the event start.
A developer of Dead by Daylight has lost his temper. Therefore, announcements have been made that were actually supposed to take longer.
The developers of Dead by Daylight are often accused of not being transparent with the community. Players are often left in the dark about planned changes, leading to discontent in the community.
Now one of the developers expressed himself poorly during the stream – which is why Dead by Daylight had to announce an upcoming feature prematurely.
What happened? During a live stream in which the developer Ethan Larson played Dead by Daylight, he was repeatedly confronted by viewers about the implementation of colorblind settings. A topic that has long been a concern for the community. However, Larson reacted in an irritated tone:
“Alright JC, it’s getting really boring to keep talking about the colorblind mode. We’ve heard it a million times. We know it. Continuing to bother us with it won’t change anything. If it’s done, it’s done, when we have the time for it or when someone decides that it’s something that needs to be done. You know? We know that many players want it and that it’s not a small group. We got it.”

This did not sit well with the viewers, and after the clip was released on Twitter and Reddit, it was not well received by the entire community. Players who have been waiting for years for a way to play Dead by Daylight with such options felt disregarded and that their needs were not taken seriously.
What happened next? After a backlash erupted on the subreddit and on Twitter, an unexpected message came from the official “Dead by Daylight” account on Twitter. They announced that a colorblind mode has been in development for some time and even showed some example images.
They stated:
“This is not how we wanted to announce it, but we believe that it’s the right time… we have been working on colorblind options for a while now and we plan to release them soon.”
“We want to ensure that we get it right and we hope that it will be included in the next major release [patch], but we cannot guarantee a release date yet.”
There was then an image of how different settings for various forms of colorblindness might look:

What is the problem? Although Dead by Daylight has been around for several years, there is still no support for different forms of colorblindness. These have been requested for years, and in many major games, such settings are now standard. The developers have always said that they would “address it someday” – but concrete results have yet to be seen.
Why is this so important? Dead by Daylight is extremely difficult to play for players with various forms of colorblindness, since colors play a significant role. For example, for someone who cannot perceive the orange-red scratch marks of survivors, it is nearly impossible to be a successful killer player. Also, different auras indicating the positions of generators or survivors are difficult, if not impossible, to perceive, as well as the reddish glow that appears in front of the killer.
A handicap that in a game like Dead by Daylight is double the burden.
In Dead by Daylight, the color palette is very closely arranged.
There is also criticism: However, there are players who are against such options. Because after all, even normally sighted players can access the options and adjust the aesthetics of the game. Scratch marks might be more visible to normally sighted players under certain circumstances, which could be an advantage.
However, the general sentiment in the community seems to be that this small advantage for some players can be tolerated if it allows a large group of players to finally play “properly”.
New clothing sets, including expensive clothing for up to 40,000 Pansuns, which is considered the current endgame content
Therefore, we will show you how to quickly get Pansuns, also referred to by some as gold.
This article was originally published in February 2020 and updated in January 2021.
[toc]
1. Earn money through FreiTem
What is FreiTem? FreiTem is an organization that you can find in the second zone of the game, in Omninesia.
This organization rewards you for releasing Temtem right after catching them. They pay you Pansun for each Temtem, and there are also weekly tasks that reset on Mondays.
Home of FreiTem
How do I earn the most money through FreiTem? The amount of the reward from FreiTem depends on how rare a Temtem is and its level.
You can earn the most money with special specimens. The 5 most lucrative are (considering level 20):
Oceara – 192 Pansuns
Shuine – 170 Pansuns
Kinu – 170 Pansuns
Nessla – 113 Pansuns
Ukama – 106 Pansuns
The value of Temtems increases the higher their level is. Besides, there are valuable Temtems that you cannot catch, such as Pocus or Smazee. You can theoretically exchange those as well.
A complete list of earnings can be found at Temtemstart. Always keep in mind that using a Tem card costs 15 Pansuns, which slightly reduces profit.
Where do I farm the best Temtem? One of the most lucrative locations is in the Far Omninesia at the volcano. In the marked area, you can find many Magmis and Mastione. Both are fire Temtem that you can quickly and effectively attack with a water team. This location is also perfect for beginners.
The best place to earn gold in Temtem
This way, you can catch as many Temtem as possible as quickly as possible without having to visit a healing station. If you do, the station is not far away:
A level 38 Mastione yields 125 Pansuns directly
A Magmis at level 35 yields 77 Pansuns
The king’s deal would be a Shuine, which you could theoretically catch directly at level 41. That would give you 328 Pansuns at once, but it is a very rare occurrence.
Shuine, a rare and expensive Temtem
Another good place is in Juu Tunnel between Uhuru and Vumbi. There, you will encounter Grumvel 80% of the time at the entrance and Zizare 20%, each in level ranges between 32 to 35 and 39 for Zizare.
For Zizare at level 39 you get 176 Pansuns
For Grumvle at level 35 you get 112 Pansuns
The great thing here is that there are “no misses”. However, you are quite far from a place to store the Temtem.
The third farming spot is in Tasa Desert directly in the cave at the marked location on the map. You can expect:
75% Akranox at levels 40 to 46. At level 46, you get 135 Pansuns.
25% Pycko at levels 38 to 40. For a Pycko at level 40, you get 100 Pansuns.
What are the weekly rewards? Besides the rewards for releasing individual Temtem, there are also weekly rewards.
In the week of February 3, 2020, there was a Sub-Omninesia dye pack for releasing 300 Temtem. It costs 2,399 Pansuns if you want to buy it. You save it by completing the weekly challenge.
Other missions have been:
Release 200 Temtem: 5x Silicone fragment
Release 250 Temtem: 2x Life Force DNA strand (5,000 Pansuns each at the vendor)
Release 250 Temtem: 2x Powerful DNA strand (5,000 Pansuns each at the vendor)
Expensive items from the breeder that you can get for free through FreiTem
2. Earn gold through items
How do you earn money through items? Over the course of your adventures, items that you do not need accumulate in your inventory. They can be sold for good money at the vendor.
These items include:
Sea salt – 300 Pansuns
Mini crystals – 20 Pansuns
Unfortunately, you cannot specifically farm these items. However, you can find crates all over the world that you can now easily open without any issues.
It does not matter which vendor you sell the items to, as the prices are identical everywhere.
How do you earn money through side quests? In the world of Temtem, you will encounter side quests everywhere. These often reward you with Pansuns or items that you can then sell at the vendor.
So make sure to regularly and diligently complete your quests.
Sometimes you also discover hidden zones where trainers are waiting for you. Fights against trainers also reward you with Pansuns.
New quests are constantly waiting for you in Temtem
Bonus: Save money and auction house
How do I save money? One way to accumulate a lot of money is not to lose it. Every “death” deducts Pansuns from you, so you should rather visit a healing center once too often than not enough.
This way, you also save revives and ointments, which you should only use in emergencies. They are worth actual money as well.
What else is planned for Temtem? For the future, an auction house for Temtem is planned through which you can also make money. This is not yet included in early access.
Free States Militia is a role-playing group focused on Fallout 76. It was banned on Facebook last year for being too close to reality in its role-playing. Now the group has faced another ban. They are changing their home now. Facebook has since apologized.
Update January 22: As reported by PCGames N, Facebook has since apologized again to the group and has unbanned them. The statement reads:
The groups and associated admins were mistakenly banned and have now been restored. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We encourage anyone who believes we made a mistake to report that mistake.
We apologize for mistakenly removing the Fallout 76 group and have since restored the accounts of the group and the admins.
The group members suspected they might have come under Facebook’s scrutiny because of their name. Exactly during that time, there were protests surrounding the “Black Lives Matter” movement. The word “Militia” might have been a trigger in this case.
However, the admins of the group chose to remain on Facebook. They justified it by saying it was the easiest platform to reach thousands of people.
What has happened now? As reported by Polygon, Free States Militia has been banned on Facebook again. The members suspect this time that the unrest surrounding the Capitol riots contributed to it.
Once again, there is no official explanation from Facebook. It simply states:
You can no longer comment until February 7. You have posted multiple things that do not meet our community standards.
To avoid getting banned again, they are now changing their platform. In the future, the group plans to meet on Discord.
What do the admins say about the ban? In an interview with Polygon, the founder Bobby emphasizes that the role-playing group only refers to the world of Fallout:
The Facebook page is 100% related to Fallout. I would say 90% of the page consists of lore. We write our stories in line with the 76th faction of the Free States Militia. 5% are group events and 5% are in-game photos. [We write] about our individual characters and their adventures in the wasteland.
They originally suspected that the word “Militia” was the problem. Therefore, they circumvented this with spellings like “m![[!+!@” or used abbreviations like “Free States”.
But that did not protect them from a second ban.
Fallout 76 takes place in America, 20 years after a fictional nuclear war.
What is the problem with Facebook? Many private groups on Facebook used the platform to exchange ideas among themselves and with like-minded individuals. Nevertheless, these groups are not a lawless zone.
Facebook therefore responded and announced changes on September 17, 2020, to reduce “harmful content and misinformation”.
Moreover, organizations and movements that pose a “significant risk to public safety” have been examined, including militia organizations and groups that support violence in protests. That is exactly what may have unintentionally affected Free State Militia in this case.
With the new Season 13, Umbral Engrams are returning to Destiny 2 – with some changes. The popular mechanic is set to become a permanent part of the game – at least during Year 4.
Bungie has revealed this about the upcoming Season 13: Currently, Destiny 2 is still in Season 12, the Season of the Hunt. However, more and more details about the next season are becoming known, with fresh information just released. As the developers stated in the latest edition of “This Week at Bungie,” the new Season 13 will see the return of Umbral Engrams.
What are Umbral Engrams anyway? This loot mechanic was originally introduced as a feature of Season 11. The special engrams allowed Guardians to earn specific weapons and gear more targetedly. This way, players could better determine their loot and hunt for God Rolls more effectively. They could be decrypted at the Prism Decoder or further customized at a Reconstructor to target specific stats.
Umbral Engrams were well received by players, as many desired just that in Destiny 2 – less randomness. However, to the surprise of many Guardians, they were removed from the game at the end of Season 11 with the launch of Beyond Light and Season 12. Now, these engrams are set to return soon and this time they are expected to stay long-term – at least in all Seasons of Year 4 of Destiny 2.
This is what the Decoder and the Reconstructor for Umbral Engrams looked like in Season 11
How Umbral Engrams work from Season 13
The basic mechanic essentially remains the same, but there have been some adjustments. For instance, after the return, fewer Umbral Engrams are expected to drop compared to the Season of Arrival. There, the drop rate was simply too high in Bungie’s eyes, prompting them to make adjustments to the balance.
In these activities, you will receive Umbral Engrams: The fastest way to earn new rewards is always to participate in the new seasonal activity. However, Bungie wants to ensure that no matter how you spend your time in Destiny 2, you will also obtain fresh loot through the Umbral Engrams.
Umbral Engrams are expected to drop in a variety of activities, but the list has been slightly adjusted. Here’s where you can find them:
on patrol
in strikes
in the crucible (PvP)
in gambit
in the forge
during public events
in the blind well
in nightmare hunts
in exo challenges
in empire hunts
in the new seasonal activity (which is still unknown)
Additionally, there is a chance that Umbral Engrams will drop throughout the game by defeating enemies. So even if you are not specifically working through this list for Umbral Engrams, you can still obtain some.
The Prismatic Reconstructor and Prismatic Decoder: The Prismatic Reconstructor is also returning in this context – but as a kiosk. With this device, you can focus the Umbral Engrams in exchange for certain resources (Prismatic Lens). With focused Umbral Engrams, the target loot pool is even smaller, allowing you to determine more precisely your desired item that will drop from the engram at the end.
The Reconstructor kiosk will have different pages for each season, and you will be able to focus Umbral Engrams on gear from the season of your choice. Once an Umbral Engram has been focused, you will still need to take it to the Decoder to receive your reward.
Prismatic Lens: This is a new reward or resource with which you can unlock various focusing options for your Umbral Engrams. This way, you can aim for a tighter selection of gear pieces or target specific armor stats.
You can earn these lenses by playing various activities in the game. Progress towards unlocking the lenses can be tracked at the Reconstructor. Bungie, however, did not want to reveal more at this point. Players are meant to find out for themselves in Season 13.
What do you think about the return of Umbral Engrams and the adjustments? Feel free to tell us and other readers of MeinMMO in the comments.

On January 20, the new set 4.5 started in Teamfight Tactics. We at MeinMMO will tell you what has changed and which champion combos are the strongest right from the start.
What are the biggest changes in set 4? With the new set came a completely new set of champions into the game. You will have to learn all builds from scratch. To give you an overview of the champions and items, we have compiled the most important cheat sheets.
So you can get started right away, we have put together the 3 best builds for the start of set 4.5.
6 Assassins Diana
Which chosen one does the combo need? The combo relies on getting a chosen assassin. Ideally, that’s Diana, so you can reach 4 assassins early with Pyke and Akali. Alternatively, Talon and Akali can also take on this role.
Which champions are used?
Diana – Spirit/Assassin
Pyke – Cultist/Assassin/Slaughterer
Akali – Ninja/Assassin
Katarina – Warlord/Lucky Guy/Assassin
Talon – Enlightened/Assassin
Kindred – Spirit/Executioner
Yuumi – Spirit/Mystic
Teemo – Spirit/Sniper
Another Mystic as 9th unit
These attributes are used by the combo:
6 Assassins
4 Spirits
1 Ninja
Which items does the combo need? The combo focuses on Diana as the carry:
Diana is the carry in this combo and ideally suited as the chosen one.
What is the gold plan? You collect 50 gold and slowly level up to level 5 to get Diana to 3.
Are there alternatives? Yes, the combo can also be played with Diana and 4 assassins. Then you forgo Katarina and Akali and instead include Shen and Yone. This way, you get the mystic bonus earlier and also benefit from the Adepts.
Chosen Zed
Which chosen one does the combo need? The combo does not necessarily rely on a chosen one, but Zed is a suitable slaughterer. Alternatively, Pyke as a slaughterer or general bonuses like Adept or Mystic can also help.
Which champions are used?
Zed – Ninja/Slaughterer
Akali – Ninja/Assassin
Kennen – Ninja/Guardian
Shen – Ninja/Adept/Mystic
Aatrox – Cultist/Frontline Fighter
Pyke – Cultist/Assassin/Slaughterer
Zilian – Cultist/Mystic
Azir – The Emperor/Warlord/Guardian
Samira – Demon Guy/Slaughterer (As 3rd slaughterer when no chosen one)
This is how you should set up the combo.
These attributes are used by the combo:
4 Ninjas
3 Slaughterers
3 Cultists
2 Mystics
2 Assassins
2 Guardians
1 The Emperor
possibly 1 Demon Guy
Which items does the combo need? This combo focuses on Zed as the carry and requires specific items.
Other useful items are tank items on Aatrox or Shen and Iron Solari Amulet in the backline.
Zed is the carry in this combo.
What is the gold plan? You aim to reach 50 gold and then quickly level up to levels 7 and 8 so your combo works. Once you have your chosen Zed, slow roll after level 7 to get him to level 3. If you need Samira as the third slaughterer, you should go faster towards level 9.
Are there alternatives? Yes, the combo can also be played without the cultists. Then you also include the two Adepts Irelia and Yone.
Another flexible method is to bring Samira as the second carry on board and instead forgo the ninjas. Here you play with the 3 cultists, Zed, Samira, Teemo, Yuumi and Sejuani as tank. This way, you gain the bonus of 2 snipers and 2 spirits, which is also strong.
6 Guardians
Which chosen one does the combo need? This combo requires a guardian. Kennen or Xayah are best suited.
Which champions are used?
Kennen – Ninja/Guardian
Jarvan IV – Warlord/Guardian
Rakan – Ancientwood/Guardian
Xayah – Ancientwood/Executioner
Azir – The Emperor/Warlord/Guardian
Kindred – Spirit/Executioner
Aatrox – Cultist/Frontline Fighter
Ornn – Ancientwood/Blacksmith
These attributes are used by the combo:
6 Guardians
3 Ancientwood
2 Executioners
2 Frontline Fighters
1 Ninja
1 Blacksmith
1 The Emperor
Which items does the combo need? The combo is very flexible with items, with Xayah taking on the carry role:
Xayah: 2x Hand of Justice, Deathblade
Kennen: Morellonomicon, Guardian Angel
Rakan and Xayah, two Ancientwood characters, play an important role in this build.
What is the gold plan? You aim to reach 50 gold and then quickly level up to levels 7 and 8 so your combo works.
Are there alternatives? Yes, the combo can also be played with 3 warlords, with Katarina taking on the role of the second carry alongside Rakan. For this, you also use Elise as the guardian and Pyke as a substitute for Kindred to get the assassin and cultist buff.
Bonus: Random Legendaries
What kind of combo is this? As in general in set 4, it can be very strong to play simply with 4- and 5-gold champions that have no significant synergy. Carries in this case are for example Samira or Yone.
Especially with Shen and Zilean you have a strong combo, since you get the mystic bonus and Zilean always resurrects strong units. A possible combo would be:
Samira – Demon Guy/Slaughterer
Olaf – Dragon Soul/Slaughterer
Tryndamere – Warlord/Duelist/Slaughterer
Shen – Ninja/Adept/Mystic
Zilean – Cultist/Mystic
Yone – Adept/Exiled
Lee Sin – Divine/Duelist
Azir – The Emperor/Guardian
Another legendary unit like Sett
Samira is considered particularly strong in this set 4.5.
The combo requires that you reach level 9 early, for example through a strong early game. This is also something that many underestimate and therefore lose their matches. But you can avoid this:
Activision Blizzard, the company behind games like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, CoD Warzone, and World of Warcraft, is on a high. According to reports, the stock is more valuable than ever, with the company’s value exceeding 73 billion US dollars. And this is despite many players currently expressing criticism.
Where do the numbers come from? The Wall Street Journal reports that Activision Blizzard’s current market capitalization is 73.5 billion US dollars (via Wall Street Journal, as of January 21, 2021).
The stock currently costs 94.98 US dollars, exceeding the peak from December 2020. Since 1984, it has never been so expensive to invest in Activision Blizzard.
The trend of Activision Blizzard’s stock. Image source: Wall Street Journal.
Why are players grumbling? Although Shadowlands is well-received, there are also negative voices among the many players. On Metacritic, there were initially poor reviews, and players are still disturbed by some of the new mechanics, such as Anima, which can only be farmed slowly. This is a resource for which thousands of units are needed for important upgrades or cosmetic items, but can only be found in small quantities.
In Overwatch and Diablo 3, not much is happening anymore. The games are just coasting along, still receiving updates, but are no longer as prominent in the media as they were at their release. Fans of the games may feel somewhat neglected.
Recently, however, Call of Duty has been receiving a lot of criticism. Since the release of the new Black Ops installment Cold War, players of Warzone in particular are dissatisfied. Cold War was integrated into Warzone and brought with it new weapons that many players do not like. They are even demanding that Cold War be removed from Warzone.
In February, BlizzConline 2021 will take place, the replacement for the BlizzCon 2020 which was canceled due to Corona. During this event, Blizzard will present online and free for all what the future holds for the many games of the company. We have already made some speculations about what you can expect at BlizzConline 2021.

Razer has introduced a new gaming mouse, the Naga X. This mouse, with its many buttons, is primarily aimed at MMO players. MeinMMO presents Razer’s new gaming mouse and explains what makes it special.
Here’s what it’s about: Razer unveiled the Naga X at CES 2021. Prior to this, the manufacturer introduced a cool face mask and an innovative gaming chair. With the new mouse, Razer is directly targeting MMO players.
We will explain why Razer’s Naga X is particularly suited for MMO players and what functions the mouse offers in this article.
The Razer Naga X from the side
Razer Naga X – Mouse with Many Buttons for MMO Players
Why is the mouse suitable for MMO players? On the thumb side, there are 12 buttons that you can program freely. Overall, the Razer Naga X has 16 programmable buttons. In MMORPGs, it is essential to have many skills readily available. If you lack a third hand, you will gladly accept the side buttons.
You can configure the buttons as you like. Whether it’s simple skills like spells or complex macros needed for your favorite raid in WoW.
The technical details of the Razer Naga X at a glance:

Technical Specifications of the Razer Naga X
With a weight of 85 grams, the Naga X is the lightest mouse in the Naga family. Inside, it features Razer’s 5G sensor, which is already used in the Viper Ultimate. The 5G sensor is based on the well-known PixArt PMW-3389.
Thanks to the HyperShift mode, you can create a second button profile that can be activated with a key press.
Is there already such a mouse? Razer has a similar mouse in its portfolio with the Naga Pro, which MeinMMO was able to test. With the Naga Pro, you could switch between three side parts, but it costs €169.99. The Naga X is already available for €89.99.
The Razer Naga Hex V2, Razer Naga 2014, and Razer Naga Trinity (with interchangeable side parts) are three other older models in the series.
What is the difference from previous Naga models? Razer uses a higher resolution sensor (18,000 DPI) in the Naga X and its second generation of Razer switches. These are supposed to provide even better haptics and longer durability. Additionally, its weight is lower at 85 grams. The Naga X’s ergonomics are closely aligned with those of the other Naga models.
Various views of the Razer Naga X
Price and Availability: The mouse is available for purchase now at Razer and various retailers. The mouse will cost €89.99.
On Amazon, the gaming mouse is already listed, but it is not yet available for delivery.

An employee of PlayStation has posted some pictures of his work. Among them is a PS5 controller that has not been seen anywhere else before. This appears to be a gift from Sony to its employees.
What kind of controller is this? There are no technical specifications for the controller; it seems to be an ordinary DualSense controller. However, the colors are special: The controller itself is white as usual, but the decorations are in a golden tone.
The image from Joey Rabbitt on LinkedIn, the Product Design Manager at PlayStation, shows part of the controller. It can be seen that “PS5 Launch Team” is engraved on the left grip.
Apparently, the controller is exclusively intended for employees who worked on the launch of the PlayStation 5. Even if you join the company now, you probably won’t get this controller.
What makes it so special? This version of the controller is not available for purchase. PS5 players only have the standard model for €69.99 to choose from, which can either remain as they are or be adorned.
If you like the golden color, you can also go for a PlayStation 5 entirely in gold, also with a controller. However, you’ll need quite a hefty wallet for that…
Anyone generally looking to buy a PS5 is likely facing a few problems at the moment. Although retailers have a certain quota periodically, bots and scalpers manage to snag a lot of copies, leaving little for honest buyers.
However, it may be good that there will soon be a fourth ordering wave in Germany. According to reports, the stock of many European retailers is being replenished, especially in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Those who have already had the luck to pre-order probably won’t have to wait long for their package. MediaMarkt and Saturn are delivering PS5s again to players who have managed to get one. All others will probably have to be patient.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint was a major flop for publisher & developer Ubisoft at release in October 2019. MeinMMO has taken another look at the military simulation and concludes: The soldiers’ playground is now a really good PvE shooter.
Genre: Open-world tactical shooter / loot shooter | Developer: Ubisoft Paris | Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia | Release: 04. October 2019
What is Breakpoint? The tactical shooter from Ubisoft takes place in the Ghost Recon universe and places you on the fictional Pacific island of Aurora. The island is the headquarters of the sinister organization “Skell Technology”, which has made the island a site for the research and production of its deadly drones.
Unfortunate circumstances and rocket fire lead you to want to find out what is going on on this island. Additionally, there is a classic revenge motive, as an old comrade executed some members of your Ghost team upon arrival.
The local inhabitants take you in and you start in a large open world, infiltrating hostile areas to uncover the plans of “Skell Technology” and work on your revenge plans. As a soldier of the special unit “Ghosts”, you specialize in stealthy infiltration of enemy bases, and the game world offers you countless unique environments to carry out self-planned, discreet attacks.
For this, you have a vast arsenal of lootable weapons and unlockable equipment available to refine your tactics and adapt them precisely to the combat situation and your plans.

What was the problem with Breakpoint at release? The tactical shooter was released in October 2019 as a AAA title and was supposed to build on the success of its predecessor Wildlands (2017). But things turned out differently, and after a somewhat decent release, the game turned out to be a major flop for Ubisoft. On Metacritic, the shooter temporarily fell to 2.2 out of 5 points on PC, failing among many players.
The title was released too close to the long-developed Wildlands
New gameplay elements need to integrate perfectly into the game – however, the target audience rejected many innovations
Additionally, Breakpoint offered too few differences from its predecessor despite some innovations
After the analysis, Ubisoft recognized very similar problems with the loot shooter “The Division 2”, which also fell short of financial expectations. Ubisoft apparently changed its strategy afterward and also announced delays for 3 major releases.
The developers then presented a 5-step plan to rescue Breakpoint. Nearly a year and a half have passed since the announcement, and Breakpoint is now, gameplay-wise, in a much better state than at release. The “Ghost Recon” is now a really strong PvE shooter, and MeinMMO shows you how Ubisoft achieved this.

Ubisoft promised comprehensive development – And kept its word
Why is Breakpoint now significantly better? The developers implemented much feedback from fans during the time since the release and gradually improved the game. The biggest changes include:
There are now AI companions that can be activated and deactivated at any time
You can now decide whether to play with or without a loot system
Comprehensive customization of your experience – in terms of difficulty, but also the game world in general
The enemies are now fairer and smarter, which becomes noticeable when silently infiltrating a base
Helpful AI companions
What do the AI companions provide? Breakpoint now gives you a moody team with fully customizable AI companions to assist you in your missions. Each one is visually completely customizable like your own character and can be freely equipped with weapons.
Depending on the weapon, the companions also behave differently. A sniper will position himself further away from the enemy than a comrade with a shotgun. You can also give commands to the team, such as “go there”, “gather around me”, or “hold position”. Simultaneous shots are also possible – if you mark an enemy for a coordinated shot, the NPC soldiers will find a good position with a clear shot and inform you as soon as they are ready.
This works really well and is especially a great addition for solo players to clear enemy bases stealthily – like a real squad of Ghosts.
You can completely customize your AI team members and they are also helpful.
Optional disabling of the loot system
Can you now play completely without loot levels? At launch, Breakpoint was almost more of an open-world loot shooter than a tactical shooter. All weapons had a weapon level and rarity, which made some found items better than others. With increasing levels, you had to continually upgrade to match higher-level enemies.
This “development” was not well received by everyone, and with the “immersive experience” you can now completely turn off this system. There are no rarities, no weapon levels, and you can play exactly what you want from the start.
Furthermore, loot and immersive modes can be changed for saved games. If you want to collect some level loot with your AI buddies in a solo round today, you don’t have to choose the same settings with your friends tomorrow. You can set your save to “immersive” and start here.
With the push of a button, weapon rarities and levels disappear from the game.
Ideal for testing: Breakpoint offers you some good options to preview the game:
From January 21, 9 am to January 25, 6 pm, there will be a free weekend – Even with a live event (via Ubisoft)
With the “Friend Pass”, you can invite up to 3 friends to play with you for free and unlimited (as long as the Friend Pass event is active)
A 6-hour trial version available on all platforms that is always available
Great customization options on almost all gameplay aspects
However, the community wished for more settings options to adjust the experience to their own ideas, without constantly having to ensure that all players adhered to the restrictions.
And Breakpoint delivered. Whether it’s enemy behavior, the attributes of your character, or the interface – you can shape and customize your Breakpoint adventure via the settings. A few examples:
Only one primary weapon is allowed because that is more realistic
It should get really dark at night so that you need your night vision equipment
Remaining ammo in your magazines is lost during reloading
Syringes should no longer heal injuries
Additionally, the “world parameters” offer adjustments to the game world. In the “normal” Breakpoint experience, you constantly encounter patrols or must hide from drones while traversing the island of Aurora. Total chaos could break out at any moment if you were unfortunate enough to be discovered by reconnaissance units. These elements were perceived as disruptive in the tactical shooter and can now be almost completely turned off.
On top of that, there are event modifiers. Since the release, 2 live events have taken place (the third started on January 21, 2021), bringing special mechanics into the game world. Among them, a crossover event with the Terminator franchise (via GameStar).
After the end of an event, you no longer have access to the live event rewards, but you can still access the special mechanics. For example, you can let nasty Terminator robots roam your game world, for which you need special weapons to defeat them. The battles bring plenty of action into the otherwise ghost-tactic-based shooter.
Skell Technology receives support from Sky-Net and sends Terminators after you.
Revamped enemy AI leads to more exciting infiltrations and battles
Why do the silent battles work better now? Breakpoint has seen improvements to enemy AI with almost every major update since release. This started with the overhaul of faulty paths but continued with smaller and bigger adjustments to their general behavior.
For example, when sabotaging the storm generator of a base, enemies will now only “raise suspicion” and not be “worried” directly. This leads to fewer enemies gathering at a location, making them easy targets for your ghosts. The developers fine-tuned this over many months.
Furthermore, the behavior upon discovery is now fairer. Instead of intruders alerting the entire base telepathically, it now takes a moment for the NPCs to communicate their situation via radio. Depending on the alarm state, you have 0.2 – 1 second to prevent the enemy from transmitting. Also, the unusually accurate mortars now have a less absurd hit rate.
In combat, many NPCs now run out of ammo. Enemies have reloading animations that you can use for an attack while they take a fire pause. However, directly attacking a base is still not very enjoyable. The AI continues to show weaknesses, sending alarmed enemies at you one by one as they run into your line of fire.

Great playground for fans of open combat – Solo & Coop
What makes Breakpoint special? Breakpoint presents you with a huge soldier playground with countless points of interest and many enemy bases waiting to be explored and/or cleared by you. You can approach all activities in the game solo or with a maximum of 3 colleagues.
The tactical shooter has an extensive story, countless weapons and attachments, a PvP mode for variety, many customization options for the appearance of your characters, and a bunch of gadgets to help you with undetected infiltration.
You can either let the game guide you so you always know where to go, or you can completely go your own way, help the local population, and gradually discover what is happening in the game world “Aurora”. You just go out, set a goal, and infiltrate everything that may turn out to be interesting along the way for hours.
As endgame content, Breakpoint also offers raids designed for four players. These particularly challenging PvE activities push you to your limits and represent the greatest challenge in the game. You can now even tackle the raids solo. In a solo run, you won’t encounter the big bosses, but the solo raid has its own challenges.
The game world Aurora is vast, varied, and features 8 different biomes. Source: reddit
Breakpoint closes the gap between regular and hardcore shooters
Now that you can decide whether to have the system in the game, this criticism diminishes entirely. You still have to loot your favorite weapons and unlock some equipment, but weapon colors and levels are no longer a factor. And if you want to try it out, you can reactivate the loot fest at any time.
Fans of open-world shooters will also be satisfied. Players from Borderlands, The Division 2, Rage 2, or Mad Max, perhaps even Destiny 2, should check out the title – as long as they can adjust to the realistic setting. It makes no difference whether you prefer playing solo or in coop.
If you are into realistic military simulations and want to try something new, Breakpoint could be for you as well. With the vast customization options, you can set the game to a hardcore difficulty that provides you with a large PvE playground in a soft science fiction world.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint is often available at a low price, and fans of PvE shooters should definitely take a look at the title. However, buy it during a sale or get a cheap disc version – you shouldn’t pay full price for Breakpoint anymore.
Pro
Large open world with many POIs to infiltrate
Often available at a low price
Playable in coop & solo
Huge arsenal of weapons & equipment
Contra
Shooting wildly often isn’t fun
The digital version in console stores is still full price without a discount
Weapons need to be looted, equipment needs to be unlocked
Conclusion: Hours of self-determined open-world fun
The concept behind Breakpoint fascinated me even at release and finally works very well after comprehensive revisions. You set a point on the map and check off everything interesting along the way. This can create many hours of gaming fun, which is enhanced with coop buddies.
At first, it was sometimes very frustrating to infiltrate enemy areas stealthily due to the poor enemy AI and the direct alerting of the entire base upon discovery.
Now even inexperienced ghosts manage, with the help of AI companions, to dismantle entire bases alone. And if it should be harder, the game offers plenty of dials and settings to adjust the experience and keep it interesting for veterans.
Breakpoint now plays much smoother and more predictably. It is now the large soldier playground that it wanted to offer at release but could not. For PvE players with shooter ambitions, the game is now definitely a strong recommendation, especially since it is now available at a low price on all platforms.

Breakpoint has made some significant strides since release and continues to be developed. Especially in coop mode and with some solid teammates, the tactical shooter delivers some exciting adventures.
Which classes are the best in “Mythic+” in WoW? We take a look at what is most commonly brought along in successful groups.
Those who enjoy crisp content in small groups of 5 in World of Warcraft dive into Mythic Keystone dungeons. As the level increases, these become ever more challenging, demanding more and more performance from the players. But which classes and specializations are particularly popular? Which classes are hardly ever used? The statistics from Raider.io provide a good overview and show what is currently in demand – and what you virtually never see.
When looking at the keystones of level 10 and above, there is still a fairly solid distribution of classes in DPS roles. The 5 most common classes in Mythic+ level 10 and higher are:
Marksmanship Hunter (13.0 %)
Balance Druid (9.3 %)
Fire Mage (8.3 %)
Unholy Death Knight (7.0 %)
Shadow Priest (6.4 %)
The other specializations all follow closely behind, represented between 5 % and 2 %.
The only specializations that completely stand out from the crowd here are the Assassination Rogue and the Survival Hunter. Both are represented by only 0.2 %, which is also due to the fact that Survival Hunters are viewed critically as additional melee combatants, and Assassination has become rather unpopular among rogues since the overhaul. Most rogues switch to Outlaw or Subtlety for dungeons.
This is how it looks on higher keystones: At Keystone level 20 and above, the picture changes drastically. Here, a few DPS specializations have crystallized that are particularly popular and take the lead. Only Marksmanship Hunters, Outlaw Rogues, Fire Mages, and Balance Druids together account for nearly 80 % and are therefore highly sought after.
Other specializations, such as Vengeance Demon Hunter, only achieve 0.8%. Even harsher is the situation for Retribution Paladins, who are only picked in 0.4% of cases.
Why are few specializations so popular? The popularity of classes like Fire Mage, Balance Druid, or Marksmanship Hunter is due to several factors. Especially Mages and Druids have no problem with large numbers of enemies – they can deal damage without restriction and are not limited to few targets. Marksmanship Hunters, while a bit more limited, can deal strong burst damage and very solid AoE with a short cooldown, which is why they often top the damage charts in dungeons.
Fire Mages are in demand – they rock everything in M+.
Are all other classes then bad? Certainly not. The current records on keystones of difficulty 20 and above have mostly been set by professionals who pay attention to the last percentage points of performance. For most “normal” players, this is not very relevant, especially since dungeons above level 15 do not yield better rewards anymore.
In principle, all classes can excel in keystones up to level 15 and offer various advantages that can make them strong additions. CC effects, snares, dispels, just health stones, or an additional elemental as a temporary tank can bring powerful bonuses that can defuse many tricky situations.
More news about WoW: Shadowlands can be found here:
Additionally, the gear level and performance of all classes is still increasing, for example through unlocking the final soulbind rows. If you master your class and specialization, then every specialization is viable in Mythic Keystone dungeons and can be played. Only those who are really striving for records and the absolute optimum should orient themselves accordingly.
What class and specialization do you play in Mythic dungeons, and at what level are you playing?
Kyogre and Groudon are back as current legendary raid bosses in Pokémon GO. Who are the raids worth it for?
How long are Kyogre and Groudon available in raids? The two legendary monsters returned with the start of the current Hoenn event and have been occupying level 5 raids since then. However, this only lasts until Sunday, January 24 at 8 PM, then it’s over again. By the way, on Sunday, Minun and Plusle are boosted for the current catching challenge.
You only have a little time to catch Kyogre and Groudon. But it can be worth it.
Raids bring strong attackers
That’s why the raids are worth it: The raids are generally worth it if you haven’t caught either Kyogre or Groudon already. The two monsters have been part of Pokémon GO for a long time, yet especially new players probably haven’t caught either of the legendaries. If you belong to that group, you should definitely complete the raids, as both are among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Kyogre is in the top 3 of water attackers in raids and has only two special monsters ahead of it: Mega-Blastoise and Shadow Swampert. Leaving those special forms aside, Kyogre with Waterfall and Surf is the top choice, especially against fire, rock, and ground type monsters.
Groudon is the best ground type attacker when equipped with Mud Shot and Earthquake. It is particularly strong against electric, rock, poison, steel, and fire monsters.
Kyogre can also be obtained as a Shiny
Additionally, both can be caught as Shiny. If you want to try your luck here, you should also aim to complete as many raids as possible since the chance of shiny versions is quite small. You can find the right counters against Groudon and Kyogre here. With three trainers, you can defeat both monsters, but it works better and faster with four or more players.
Shiny Groudon is a bit more eye-catching
A good argument for the current raids is also the ongoing Hoenn celebration research event. If you catch two Groudon and two Kyogre, you’ll get an extra 10 candies for both monsters. It’s worth it if you want to improve them.
Another point, which may be the most important for some, is only indirectly related to the two.
Rayquaza bonus from research
Raids bring you a Rayquaza: As part of the Hoenn celebration research, you get a bonus encounter with a Rayquaza that knows the move Hurricane for completing it. Additionally, you need to catch 30 Pokémon on top of the Kyogre-Groudon duo – that’s also easily done.
Rayquaza can also be Shiny
You should definitely secure Rayquaza since it’s one of the best attackers in the game.
Rayquaza is the best dragon attacker in the game, excluding the special forms Shadow Salamence and -Dragonite as well as Mega-Charizard X. If you equip it with Dragon Tail and Outrage, it takes the top position. It is also a strong flying attacker when using appropriate flying moves.
An advantage: You don’t have to go through another raid battle against the monster but can simply catch it from the encounter. Plus, with a bit of luck, you can also get the black Shiny variant. As an additional bonus, there are 3,000 XP and a silver pinap berry.
So if you are already tired of Kyogre or Groudon, you should at least consider whether a bonus Rayquaza would benefit your team.

Hawkmoon has finally arrived in Destiny 2. We show you what the exotic hand cannon has to offer in PvE and PvP and what the new Masterwork catalyst brings. Here are the best perks that you should farm.
This classic is about: Some weapons have burned themselves into the collective memory of the Guardians. This is especially true for the exotic weapons from the early days of Destiny 1. Exotics like Gjallahorn are known far beyond the game’s borders, but the hand cannon Hawkmoon is such an unforgettable classic.
Update January 21: Since January 20, 2021, you can hunt Hawkmoon with random rolls and unlock a Masterwork catalyst. Therefore, we have expanded the article with the relevant information.
Bungie brought back Hawkmoon for the Destiny players as part of the Season 12. This is not a 1:1 copy, but a reinterpretation of the classic.
MeinMMO takes a close look at the storied Exotic and explains to you why the revolver feels better in your hands now and has more punch than ever before.
This is what the weapon can do: Like before, Hawkmoon belongs to the 140 hand cannons. It positions itself in the middle range in terms of damage and fire rate. You equip the Exotic in the kinetic slot.
A look at the status values reveals: Nothing is in the middle here. You have the strongest base values of all comparable guns:
These are the stats – still without the bonus effects from the perks (Source: Light.gg)
Especially strong are the hidden values aim assist (93) and recoil direction (96). But across the board, you have excellent values that ensure that Hawkmoon simply plays better than almost all other weapons. Only the small magazine (8) stands out negatively at first – this weakness, however, reveals itself as a strength upon closer inspection.
The two exotic perks are:
Paracausal Shot: Kills and precision hits give you a stack of “Paracausal Charge” each. The more stacks you have, the more damage the final bullet in the magazine does.
Transformative: Hawkmoon can come with random rolls.
How does Paracausal Shot work exactly with Hawkmoon?
Whenever you land a critical hit or take down an opponent, you receive a stack – you can see this on the left side of your screen.
These accumulated stacks initially have no influence on the weapon or your damage. You can also switch weapons or use other abilities, the stacks remain saved.
Only when you arrive at the very last shot in the magazine, you will hear a bird cry.
This final bullet instantly consumes all stacks and converts them into bonus damage, whether you shoot or not. You are not allowed to switch the weapon now.
The damage of the Paracausal Shot depends on the amount of precision hits or kills. At this point, let me say: No other primary weapon comes close to the damage.
But remember, you cannot collect more than 7 stacks.
If you miss with the final bullet, you waste all the extra damage.
Such is the damage: So you don’t have to guess how high the damage is with every stack, we have a table for you:
PvE
PvP
Normal shot
2,793
70/47
1x Paracausal Charge
10,945
91/61
2x Paracausal Charge
11,198
93/62
3x Paracausal Charge
12,291
102/68
4x Paracausal Charge
15,231
127/85
5x Paracausal Charge
21,435
178/119
6x Paracausal Charge
32,717
272/181
7x Paracausal Charge
51,292
426/284
In PvE you already see a huge jump with one stack and the maximum number of Paracausal Charges x7 causes more damage than 18 regular shots. In PvP, the damage increases significantly slower, but becomes enormous towards the end – keep in mind that a Guardian has about 190 to 200 health.
Now you know how the Exotic works. We now look at how Hawkmoon performs in its normal form in PvE and PvP. We will address the possible random rolls further below.
Hawkmoon is better than ever – This is what the Exotic can do
How good is Hawkmoon in PvE: First, you have a very good, but normal hand cannon. You collect Paracausal Charges at lightning speed through all the adds. Then you unleash your devastating final bullet against powerful mini-bosses or even bosses.
The small magazine size allows you to quickly reach the final bullet. By default, Hawkmoon has a “Rifled Magazine,” which greatly increases reload speed when you completely empty the weapon. And that’s what you want to do at all costs.

Is it worth it? The question now is, is the extra damage (51,292) worth sacrificing the exotic slot? To help you visualize this, here are two comparisons:
The best legendary special weapons – slug shotguns – deal about 30,000 damage with Vorpal weapon and fitting spec.
The exotic sniper rifle Izanagi’s Burden deals 68,000 damage with catalyst and x4 sharpened edge.
Even in boss phases, you quickly reach a maximum stack of Paracausal Charges through the large crit spots. Even if the damage is incredible for a primary weapon, in most endgame situations, a power weapon in the exotic slot is more advisable.
If you want to use Hawkmoon, we recommend pairing the hand cannon with the new grenade launcher and the sword Falling Guillotine.
What can the weapon do in PvP?
In the Crucible, Hawkmoon is probably the easiest hand cannon to use. Only 180 revolvers come close to its ease of use. Due to the combination of stability, range, and aim assist, critical hits happen almost automatically – even with the controller on consoles.
In your first duel, you have a normal, but excellently performing hand cannon.
As a 140, you have a standard TTK of 0.87 seconds.
Usually you need 3 critical hits for that.
The appearance of Hawkmoon hasn’t changed much since Destiny 1
But what about Paracausal Shot? This is where it gets interesting:
After just 3 critical hits or 2 critical hits and a kill, you have 3 stacks. Now you just need one critical hit and two body shots.
At x5 you only need one crit and one body hit – this corresponds to an excellent TTK of 0.43 seconds.
Starting at x6, one critical hit is enough to send an opponent straight to the virtual afterlife.
If you are now wondering whether x7 is enough to take out an opposing super with just one shot, the answer is: yes. With maximum stack, even a body shot is enough to kill ordinary Guardians with one shot.
This is how you should play: Don’t focus too hard on accumulating the maximum stack of Paracausal Charges. And don’t stress, even though it’s incredibly important to hit with the final shot. Play with the weapon normally, because after just one duel, you have an advantage over nearly all weapons.
By the way, don’t reload too early, or use exotics like the Transversive Steps. Your beautiful accumulated damage will then dissipate. Also, make sure to use the very affordable hand cannon mods in the artifact from Season 12.
Find out more about strong weapons in Destiny 2: Beyond Light here:
Since January 20, Hawkmoon is one of the Exotics that you can upgrade to a Masterwork with a catalyst. This creates power spheres on quick kills and grants bonus effects that make the revolver even stronger.
As a Masterwork, Hawkmoon gets:
A magazine expansion to 9 shots – Paracausal Charge x7 is still the maximum, but you have one more chance to increase your damage.
Handling, range, and reload speed increase passively with every collected Paracausal Charge.
The catalyst therefore supports the playstyle you’re already using with Hawkmoon: collecting precision hits and then letting loose a powerful shot. With every crit (or kill), your next shot becomes easier, and the weapon becomes easier to handle.
Is the catalyst worth it? Definitely! The bonuses are noticeable, especially the added range. The effects are primarily geared towards PvP and combat against Guardians. In PvE, you get a weapon that feels good due to the catalyst, which plays a bit smoother – but this doesn’t make the revolver deadlier.
The maximum effective range increases to about 35 meters (previously just under 30 meters). The weapon becomes noticeably more accurate, and the aim assist decreases significantly later.
The handling increases how quickly you aim, switch the weapon, and readies the weapon after running – the differences are in the frame range (because the base value is already so high). You get the biggest jump already at Paracausal Charge x1.
The reload speed with the catalyst nearly reaches cap at which you can’t reload faster. With this effect, you can also afford to go for negative reload speed in the perk selection.
You can watch all the comparisons frame by frame in this video:

You can level the catalyst from 0 to 100 in about 45 minutes. To do this, head into the “Last Wish” raid and wish directly for the encounter against Shuro Chi. Here you start the encounter and ideally have a Hunter with a bow.
These are the best random perks for Hawkmoon
Do you remember the second exotic perk Transformative? This allows random rolls. This is brand new; no other Exotic has the possibility to change its traits.
The exotic perk Paracausal Shot and Rifled Magazine are always fixed.
You can farm the barrel, a perk slot 1, and the grip according to your personal preferences.
You still can’t go hunting for your personal Exotic. However, players have already figured out how to obtain Hawkmoon with random rolls soon:
Murderous Wind (deaths grant temporarily increased mobility, range, and handling)
Heavy Grip (+10 stability and -10 handling)
What you should use in PvP: In PvP, the choice is significantly harder. Here it depends on personal preference and also the platform you are playing Destiny 2 on. PC players tend to focus on range, while on consoles you want a good mix of stability and range.
Corkscrew rifling (+5 stability, handling, and range) or Hammer-Forged Rifling (+10 range)
First Shot, Murderous Wind, and Eye of the Storm all help you land those crucial critical hits much easier
Smooth Grip (+5 stability and handling) or Heavy Grip (+10 stability and -10 handling)
With these combinations, you get a bonus on all important values without having to compromise on negative effects. The good increase in handling compensates for the lack of Fixed Grip or Snapshot Sights, and the Catalyst additionally helps you out. You also have perks like Aiming Aide and the random Hip Fire Grip available.
With weapon ornaments, you can also customize the appearance of Hawkmoon
What about the random rolls? Through this loot luck factor, Bungie reinterprets the classic. In Destiny 1, individual random shots in the magazine dealt bonus damage. Now it’s always the last bullet. But through the random rolls, the characteristics remain intact somehow.
What do you think about this exotic return? Was the reinterpretation successful, or did you expect something different from Hawkmoon?
The new Minecraft patch makes squids glow. And you can showcase glowing ink items in even cooler ways.
For 2021, a major Minecraft update is planned, namely the “Caves and Cliffs” patch. As the name suggests, this will primarily modernize and enhance underground caves, but also introduce many new creatures and objects. One of the new beings is the glowing squid. They leave behind glowing ink upon their death, providing a variety of new decorative options.
The glowing squids are worth it – the glowing ink looks really impressive.
What benefit does the ink have? Glowing ink can be used for several things that are likely to create a lot of atmosphere. For one, it is possible to give text on signs a glowing effect. Normally, signs need to be illuminated by other light sources, such as torches or lanterns, to be visible in the dark. With glowing ink, it is possible to read the text even in total darkness.
A second benefit is possible in connection with frames (“Item Frames”). When frames are made with glowing ink, the items in those frames will be brightly illuminated. This allows you to create an illuminated display case and showcase special items – like diamonds, cool armor, or simply a golden apple – well-lit in your own home.
The difference between glowing and non-glowing objects is clear, as this picture from Reddit user bigvillain7 shows:
Left illuminated, right not. If you can see anything on the right …
Glowing ink is therefore mainly for decorative purposes, but it may also find some application in adventure maps. Especially in spooky gardens that take place in deep darkness, glowing ink on signs is an interesting and useful effect.
What else is new? Also new are the glowing lichen. These are thin plants that spread over blocks and emit a faint, eerie light. The glowing vines only produce a light level of 7, which is why monsters can still appear nearby. Glowing lichen primarily appear in caves and offer a small light source for orientation – or illuminate the looming danger when creepers and zombies approach from the shadows.
Glowing lichen can be harvested with scissors and then placed on other blocks. If desired, they can be “bred” with bone meal to jump to other blocks.
The stone block in the middle is covered with glowing lichen – not easy to recognize, but the light reveals it.
When will the patch come? There is no exact release date for the “Caves and Cliffs” patch yet. Roughly, it is scheduled to be released “mid-2021”, so you will have to wait a few more months. However, if you want to try out the new features right now, you can download the current snapshot (essentially a beta version) of the Java edition and get a firsthand experience of the new content.
However, keep in mind that glowing squids currently do not spawn in the open world, but can only be created using spawn eggs. You can use them in the creative mode of the snapshot.
Are you excited for the new Minecraft update? Is it time for new features or do you still have enough to do in the game?
To get the absolute maximum out of your character in World of Warcraft, you can hardly avoid various tools. MeinMMO presents you with two tools that can optimize your performance in raids and dungeons.
What are these tools? Ask Mr. Robot and Simulationcraft/Raidbots are websites and addons that simulate your character. They help you find the best gear that you can wear.
They show you which of the items in your bag represent the currently best combination and where in the game you can still find improvements. They also provide an estimate of how much DPS you can achieve with the gear.
These are calculated simulations, so a mathematical maximum. You probably won’t be able to reach the numbers. However, the information helps you see how you can improve. Ideal if you have little time and don’t know where to get the best gear.
What do I need for this? For preparation, you need addons that you have to install. One of them is sufficient, as both tools do about the same thing. If you want to compare, install both:
The links will take you directly to the download page for the respective addon. Alternatively, you can use WoWUp, a new, sleek addon manager. We will explain how you can optimize your gear with the addons.
How to use Mr. Robot: Once you have installed the addon, you can simply open it with a click on the button at the minimap. A window will appear that explains how to initialize your current gear.
Switch to each of your available specializations once and equip the gear that you usually wear there. Then go to the bank and open it for at least two seconds. After that, the initialization should be complete.
When you click on the minimap icon, a jumble of numbers and letters will be displayed to you. Just copy it completely and visit the Ask Mr. Robot website. There, click on “optimize” and simply paste the copied string.
You need this huge, unwieldy text.
What functions does Mr. Robot offer? Once you have entered your character, you get several options:
“Best in Bags” shows you which items in your bags provide the best combination
“Upgrade Finder” gives you a list of items that improve you – starting with the highest DPS gain
“Worst in Bags” shows you which items you can simply destroy or sell
“Gear Check” checks your current gear and gives brief improvement suggestions
“Best in Slot” shows you the optimal gear for your character that you can currently wear
For some of the functions, you need a paid premium account. However, a test in advance is free. The “Best in Slot” option, which shows you where to get the best gear, always works. You can manually change certain talents or your specialization to get more information.
With “Best in Slot” you can see which items are best for you and what your stats look like.
How to read the data correctly: Ask Mr. Robot works more with percentage values than with actual numbers. You can directly see how much a specific item can improve you.
However, be aware that some items have high fluctuations, such as the trinkets “Macabre Sheet Music” or “Unfathomable Quantum Device”. The simulation always assumes the best possible outcomes.
So don’t blindly believe the displayed numbers, but consider whether the suggested improvements will actually help you.
How to use Simulationcraft and Raidbots correctly – Here’s how
How to enter your data: Similar to Mr. Robot, you need to copy a long text from the game. Install the Simulationcraft addon and type the command /simc. You will then receive a pre-selected text that you can simply copy.
Tip: If you have opened the bank or the Great Vault while typing the command, corresponding items will also be considered.
You then enter the copied text on the “Raidbots” website. However, here you must first choose which function you want to use.
Simulationcraft shows you a similar jumble of text.
What functions does Raidbots offer? Like with Mr. Robot, you have various options, but they work a bit differently with Raidbots.
“Top Gear”: selects gear to be calculated, this option shows you the best possible items you can wear, as well as talents, enchantments, and gems and calculates the possible DPS
“Droptimizer” calculates your best upgrades from dungeons, raids, and other sources
“Gear Compare” compares two sets of gear directly
“Talent Compare” compares two talent combinations directly
“Quick Sim” checks your current performance and shows details about it
“Stat Weights” gives you an overview of your secondary stats and shows how much each improves you
“Advanced” offers a multitude of options to simulate everything possible – this function is primarily needed to squeeze out the last few percentages
Raidbots can be set up more precisely, so you can filter from which sources you want to search for improvements (only PvP, only dungeons, only raids, etc.). You can also choose talents and exceptions in the simulations more easily and set options for how many enemies you want to simulate your damage against or what special circumstances are present.
When calculating, thousands of possibilities are simulated to find the best combination. If you purchase a premium account, you can simulate more combinations in one go.
In the result, you see the best possible gear at the top – items you should replace are highlighted in yellow. The list below outlines other possibilities.
How to read the data correctly: Raidbots shows you either concrete DPS numbers or percentage improvements you can achieve, and lists exactly how much you can expect from other combinations. This gives you a bit more overview of possible improvements.
However, as with Mr. Robot, the simulation always assumes the best possible outcomes and does not calculate errors. Also, you must consider that some boss fights have special requirements and you may not always be able to attack them.
Such settings can also be made, and you will likely need some practice with the tool to use it to its full extent.
The new expansion brought another component with the covenants that you can improve with. Not every covenant is equally strong, and even though the difference is usually minimal, the choice can make a difference. You can find the best covenant for each class with us.
If you have played around with your gear and are convinced that you are wearing the best gear but still want to improve, you need to analyze your playstyle. Websites like the WoW Analyzer, which we have already presented, help with that. The Analyzer checks recorded logs of boss fights and gives you tips on how to perform better in that fight next time.
How do you handle that? Do you use these tools to improve or do you decide the old-fashioned way by instinct?

Temtem was released in 2020 in Early Access and has often been referred to as the “Pokémon MMO.” Now, it is celebrating its one-year anniversary – what has happened in the flying archipelago?
What kind of game is it? Temtem is an MMO from the studio “Crema” that was released on January 21, 2020 for PC and can be downloaded via Steam. As of December 8, 2020, it is also playable on console – at least on one. It was also released for the PlayStation 5. There has not been a release yet for other consoles like the PS4, the Xbox consoles, and the Nintendo Switch, but it is planned.
Important: As of now, Temtem is still an Early Access game. It is not yet completed and is continuously being improved and expanded. However, you will need to spend some money if you want to get into Temtem: Currently, it costs €33.99 on Steam, while on the PS5 it costs €39.99 (or €59.99 if you are interested in the Deluxe Edition with a few additional cosmetics).
You can customize your trainer freely
This is how the game works: If you have chosen Temtem as your next game in the sense of “Find Your Next Game,” you can look forward to a game whose basic mechanics you probably already know or have at least heard of. Because: The fact that Temtem is often referred to as “the Pokémon MMO” is anything but a coincidence.
The parallels are unmistakable, as this gameplay video for the PS5 version release shows:

The developers explained before the release that they were inspired by Pokémon, and you can definitely see that. Once you have created your character, you start – how could it be otherwise – in your bedroom. There, your mother greets you, hands you a Tempedia (the equivalent of the Pokédex) and tells you it is time to travel to the “Accademie.” So far, so good!
Once you leave the house, you meet a group of NPCs, which is quickly joined by a professor. His name is not Oak like in the classics or Willow like in Pokémon GO, but Konstantinos. However, his approach is the same. You are not supposed to go on your journey alone, but take a starter Pokémon, uh, -Temtem with you. So you head to the professor’s lab, receive your starter and even get to battle your rival. Then you set off to catch Temtems, train them, and battle to become the very best, like no one ever was.
Now one might think “well, I can just play Pokémon,” and those who prefer to play solo and catch the classic monsters have a point. However, there are several things that set Temtem apart from Pokémon.
Your starter accompanies you from the very beginning
This is what awaits you in the MMO world
This is what makes Temtem special: Once you step out of the lab, you will notice that the village is bustling. The reason: NPCs are suddenly joined by other players who are running around with their Temtems. After all, this is an MMO!
You can also interact with other players right from the start. With the press of a button, you can trade, battle, chat, travel together – whatever you want. You can also easily search for your friends and complete the entire game in co-op. Then XP is shared and battles are fought together.
By the way, the battles also differ a bit from the original: You typically fight with two Temtems against your enemies, and these team compositions can sway the battle in your favor or against you depending on types. Temtem is quite tactical, and the right teamwork can be crucial. Features such as “synergies” between monsters make the fights more exciting.
Fights usually take place in pairs
Moreover, your Temtem have a stamina meter that determines which attacks you can use. If you use attacks with an energy level above your available stamina, your Temtem can take damage themselves. To prevent this, you can have your monster take a turn off and recharge – but then it won’t be able to attack, which can be fatal. Tactical play is required here.
However, Temtem is also very entertaining solo. The colorful style of the game is convincing. The options to catch monsters, improve them, and expand their abilities are fun – just as it has always been with Pokémon. You start with weak monsters, train them, test them in battle, and find increasingly powerful monsters.
A welcome change are side quests that NPCs assign to you, and you can help them for rewards. Currently, you can travel to four islands (out of a total of six, once the game is finished) that provide you with a story of about 30 hours. MeinMMO author Maik Schneider has already put in over 70 hours with side activities such as breeding and training the monsters – so there is already a lot to do in Early Access.
However,Temtem is still in development. Therefore, let’s take a look at what it currently offers – and what is yet to come.
What has changed in Temtem?
This is how Temtem was received: Temtem had a pretty successful launch on Steam in January 2020, which was accompanied by various technical problems – the servers collapsed under the pressure. This has somewhat lessened: Looking at the player numbers, Temtem peaked at about 22,000 players on average (January 2020) to settle down at around 1,000 active players on average on Steam after a year (January 2021). The peak recently was 1,671 players.
The game’s ratings were not significantly affected by the decline in players, and as of now (January 21, 2021) on Steam, the majority of reviews are “very positive” – both in terms of all reviews (87% positive out of over 23,000 reviews) and recent reviews (88% positive from over 400 reviews made in the last 30 days).
The cooperative aspect of the game is particularly praised. The art style of the game itself is also generally well-received. The comparison to Pokémon runs through many of the reviews – not surprisingly.
However, there is criticism regarding the price of the game, which some players feel is still too high considering the content. However, Temtem is delivering in this regard.
In Temtem you can also engage in housing
What’s next for Temtem: After the launch, Temtem first delivered features like chat. In summer, the new island Kisiwa was added. Additionally, there is a housing system where you can set up personally.
In 2021, more innovations are expected to be introduced. In an interview with ShackNews, Game Director Guillermo Andrades explained that this is the first time for the studio to provide a game with regular patches on PC and consoles – that managing just one additional platform in the form of the PS5 is a good test phase.
The developers wanted to ensure cross-play from day one. This is to be the case in the future as well when additional platforms are added. In the future, the new island Cipanku is expected to be added, including the first mythical Temtem. These are special monsters that players will likely be able to encounter during a new activity. More Temtem are also planned, with new features and enhancements to older elements taking priority.
Currently, there are 100 Temtem, and there will be more
While still in Early Access, Temtem is expected to receive the following features:
In total, 61+ additional Temtem, bringing the total to 161+
Auction/trading houses
A “Nuzlocke” hardcore mode
Tournaments
The upcoming updates are set to be released simultaneously across all platforms. A complete release of the final version is planned for this year – including for Xbox consoles and the Nintendo Switch. By the way, cross-progression across multiple platforms is also on the agenda, although this has not yet been implemented.
Who is Temtem interesting for?
Conclusion: Yes, Temtem is an online Pokémon – but it’s a bit different
You have long wanted to play Pokémon again, but have no Nintendo console, only a PC or a PS5? You’ve completed all Pokémon games and want something similar? Or you are Pokémon fans looking for an online version? Then you are in the right place, because Temtem is something for every Pokémon fan who loves the game mechanics and doesn’t necessarily cling to the “classic” monsters.
Temtem caught a lot of attention right at its release, primarily due to the Pokémon comparison. And I must say: The game resembles the big reference in many aspects quite strongly. However, this does not have to be a disadvantage, because I personally still find the game mechanics exciting after all these years – and Temtem manages to give the whole monster-catching-and-training a unique twist. Particularly when playing with other players, the game is a lot of fun and provides a value that the classic Pokémon games have not had in this form so far.
While the price of the game may seem a bit high for its current state, more content is coming that I am already looking forward to. It should be noted that Temtem is still an Early Access game. Therefore, if you are looking for a game without any faults or flaws, you are in the wrong place – better wait for the complete release. And, oh yes: If you only play serious games or are more into shooters or similar genres, you might not feel at home here – as Temtem is rather colorful and cute. But you might have already noticed this from the title image!

The survival MMO Rust launched in 2013 with a few rudimentary survival features, but over the years it has grown into a remarkable game. One feature that Twitch streamers and viewers are currently fascinated with is a casino.
What makes Rust special? Rust has been in development for PC for 7 years. When it started in 2013, it was essentially planned as a clone of DayZ and wanted to add a few elements from Minecraft.
Over the last 7 years, the game has gradually grown, offering numerous features and a vast world. It has developed significantly.
This is how the casino works: In 2018, the “Bandit Camp” was introduced to Rust. It is a place that can be found on some servers and serves as a safe zone. Here, one can engage in gambling, a kind of roulette or fortune wheel. You bet “Scraps”, the currency of Rust, on one of 5 colors on the wheel and have the chance to receive multiple times the amount of Scraps back or lose your bet.
There are 5 different fields: Half of all fields are Yellow, but only one is Red:
If you bet on Yellow and win, you only get a “small profit”: If you put in 1000 Scraps, you can double it to 2000.
If you bet on Red and win, you gain a huge profit. For 1000 Scraps, you receive 21,000 Scraps back.
What fascinates Twitch so much about the casino? It is the same fascination as with “real gambling”, which is also highly popular on Twitch.
The big streamers gamble their Scraps and then celebrate their victories or lament their defeats. Fans comment wisely from their seats, share the joy with the streamers when they win, or claim they knew better when they lose.
Many streamers swear by “secret methods”: They claim to have recognized patterns or know what comes next. Viewers shake their heads and explain that the streamer has no idea what he is talking about.

The most popular clip of the past week on Twitch related to Rust shows the perpetual gamer xQc slowly gambling away his entire fortune in Rust and ultimately leaving the casino dejected and silently. The chat mocks him for not being able to stop gambling. He should have listened to the chat. xQc is called dumb, brain-dead, just bad, one can read.
A car drives past xQc. Through the proximity chat, you can hear the streamer shroud calling out how much he is looking forward to the casino, while xQc continues on unaffected, pretending he hasn’t heard it. The chat bursts into loud laughter.
For some Twitch fans, “the best clip of all time”. That shroud, the biggest streamer in Rust after xQc, drives past at that moment is just picture-perfect and shows how closely joy and sorrow lie next to each other in the casino of Rust.
He has become a major streamer in Germany with casinos.
There seems to be a great fascination with casino streams on Twitch. Even in Germany, some streamers have grown significantly when they focused on gambling streams. But that has now apparently come to an end due to new regulations. Because even successful streamers like Jens “Knossi” Knossalla are suddenly ending their casino streams:
In Call of Duty: Warzone there are currently heated discussions about a well-known player who is said to have cheated in the tournament. In a livestream, he is confronted by pro Tommey.
Who is it about? The player Pacesetter is in the spotlight of the accusations. He happily posted on Twitter on January 15 that he had once again broken a world record. 57 kills in solos (via Twitter).
The “Call of Duty” pro Tommey, who plays for 100 Thieves, scrutinized Pacesetter closely. Rumors of cheating had already been in the air. Both participated in the Mainland tournament. After Tommey was eliminated, he could quietly observe the remaining players.
Tommey requests evidence in the chat, gets ignored
This is how it continued: Tommey noticed irregularities in Pacesetter’s gameplay. Therefore, he requested in Pacesetter’s Twitch chat that he quickly turn his camera towards the monitor. He writes:
“Without touching anything, Pace. Quickly turn your camera towards the monitor. So hold it [in your hand] and show us your screen.”
The background is that cheats like wallhacks can be hidden from one’s own streams. You can see them on your monitor, but the viewers on Twitch only see the “normal” gameplay. Tommey suspected this kind of cheating from the streamer as well.
However, the streamer ignored it. Although he clearly looks towards the second monitor and, according to Tommey, thanks a new follower who followed only after Tommey’s message. In the following clip, you can observe that exact moment, which is commented on by Tommey:

After seeing Tommey’s message, he continued playing and was taken out in Warzone. According to his own statement, he then used the keyboard to change his music on the second monitor. But he looked directly at his primary screen.
After that, Pacesetter disappeared from his PC for more than an hour. Tournament admins tried to contact him but failed. They feared that he would delete logs that would incriminate him of cheating. Because he did not cooperate with the tournament admins and deleted his Twitch and YouTube videos, he was disqualified from the tournament.
His opponent from the semifinals said: “The admin says they had a program to check what he deleted. The admin asked him on Discord to do something. Pace then said BRB and didn’t come back.”
This is the statement: Tommey writes on Twitter: “Well, there it is. Pace has finally (somewhat) admitted to cheating. He claims it was only on a [secondary account] and he would never have done it on his main (there are clips for that). That settles the matter. I hope people leave him alone now so he can work on himself and move on with his life.”
He also shows a snippet from a stream in which both players can be heard. There he asks him what he says to the accusations that he cheats on secondary accounts. To which he replies, “that’s a secondary account, bro” and admits that he has done it “once.”

In the embedded clip, both players discuss the cheating accusations.
This means that Pacesetter at least admits to having had some involvement with cheats. Whether that was the case during the tournament remains unclear.
What is your opinion on the case of Pacesetter? Do you think all of this could be coincidences and he just didn’t want admins to scan his PC, or are the videos clear enough for you?
