“I bought the two blueprints of the DMR 14 to make sure all damage values have been nerfed – and they have. All rumors are refuted. DMR is simply still really good.”

For both experts, it is clear: The nerf is still in play.

Tips for the Warzone:

Should I try the DMR again? After the nerf, many players were glad about the end of the DMR meta. However, the weapon can still serve you well and was not completely patched. If you enjoyed the single-shot mode, then pick up the DMR again. The tactical rifle continues to be among the best weapons in Warzone.

The Call of Duty: Warzone suffered under the tyranny of the overpowering DMR 14 for a few weeks. A professional player now said that the nerf has been removed again, and many players are wondering: Is the DMR OP again?

What’s going on? The DMR 14 was the big winner of the “Cold War” integration into Call of Duty: Warzone. With the Season 1 of the new “Black Ops” installment, over 30 weapons came into the battle royale Warzone, and the DMR 14 was the total standout.

Two nerfs later, the weapon was left in the closet by many soldiers again. The statements from major Warzone players who announced the end of the DMR zone with the nerf were too bad. But that might have been too early.

Possible Reversal of the DMR Nerf Concerns the Community

Some well-known Warzone players shared the theory that the DMR nerf might have been reversed. The rumor really took off through CoD and Warzone pro Thomas “Tommey” Trewren, who tweeted:

“I’m sorry to have to tell you this. But I think they’ve reversed the DMR nerf…”

After that, the information about a possible reversal of the nerf spread like wildfire in the community. Many actually consider it possible and immediately start field tests to see how the weapon currently plays.

What do players say about it? The reactions to a return of the OP rifle were largely negative. Many players found the DMR meta disturbing and were glad when the terror was finally over. @SteadyGamin replied on Twitter: “I like you, Tommy. But I don’t like the post.”

Others supported the statement and urged Tommy to delete the tweet and not to spread the information widely. @haly_matt said on Twitter: “Keep that to yourself, don’t tell everyone”

Since the rumor came from some of the most popular and largest Warzone players, many assumed there must be something to it. This, in turn, brought the CoD analysts into action, who conducted further tests to check whether the DMR nerf is still active or has actually been removed.

Experts Agree: The Nerf is Still Active

What do Warzone experts say about it? Two of the largest Warzone experts are the YouTuber “TheXclusiveAce” and the operator behind the website “truegamedata.com“. Both have conducted tests to verify the rumor about the DMR nerf. And both come to the same conclusion:

  • @TheXclusiveAce on Twitter: “There’s a rumor about a possible reversal of the DMR nerf. I tested it and it’s not true.
  • @TrueGameData on Twitter: ” […] I tested it, it’s still nerfed. It [the DMR14] is just still really good and some people might have missed that for some reason.”

Players suddenly find naked people in FIFA 21 – What’s going on?

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

After the last update, people with naked skin can suddenly be found everywhere on the sidelines in FIFA 21. MeinMMO shows you the funny bug.

In FIFA 21, it’s unusual to see naked skin. Because even the players don’t take off their shirts after goals or after the final whistle. However, stewards, police officers, and assistant referees apparently got tired of wearing shirts and now show themselves freely on the sidelines.

What kind of bug is this? The “Nude Bug” has made its way into FIFA 21 and is being shared online with numerous images. This bug, which seemingly came into the game with the last title update, sees an increase in shirtless people on the sidelines. No matter if stewards, police officers, or assistant referees – the upper clothing has disappeared.

MeinMMO reader Christoph K. sent us the following screenshots of this bizarre bug:

Here you can see more examples:

However, what exactly is going on with this bug and why shirtless people appear on the sidelines remains a mystery for now.

On which platforms does the bug occur? This bug seems to only affect the next-gen versions (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X) of FIFA 21 so far. There is still no news of missing clothing in the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions.

What does EA Sports say about the bug? In the official EA forum, the FIFA player fleXXXurhead reported the bug and an EA staff member has already responded promising to pass along the report.

Maybe the bug will be fixed with the next title update. But before that, on Friday the TOTY (Team of the Year) awaits FUT players. Are you looking forward to the big FUT highlight?

A glitch makes the new Predator item in Fortnite incredibly strong

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale the Predator can now be found and he brought a mythic item that players can use. But now players have discovered a glitch that makes this item incredibly powerful.

This is the situation: After update 15.21 the Predator can now be found as an NPC boss on the Fortnite map. If you manage to take him down, you will be rewarded with the “Predator’s Cloaking Device”.

The mythic item allows players to become invisible for a short time. After 30 seconds, the effect disappears and you have to wait until you can activate it again. However, a glitch now allows players to remain invisible for the entire match.

Players find glitch that gives an advantage

What kind of glitch is this? With this glitch, players are supposed to not only become invisible for a short time, but the effect lasts for the entire match. Additionally, they can continue to build, edit, and shoot – thus having no limitations.

A reddit user posted a clip where he encountered an opponent who was using this glitch. Although he was able to defeat the opponent, he seemed quite surprised when an invisible player suddenly started hopping around and shooting at him:

Is a fix coming now?

Why this exploit is problematic: As can be seen in the clip, there is no guarantee that you will win every fight when using the glitch in Fortnite. However, it can provide advantages and especially put players in unfortunate situations.

In a fight, it often boils down to a few health points, and if someone sneaks up and inflicts a lot of damage before being noticed, the victim probably won’t be able to counter in time.

YouTuber spreads glitch to “inform Epic”

The YouTuber Glitch King, who has 1.85 million subscribers, shows how this glitch works. According to the YouTuber, this is supposed to help Epic, but surely some will try the exploit with his tutorial.

If Epic Games becomes aware of this, it may be that a fix will be introduced soon. What that might look like, we will probably see if it happens.

Gran Saga reveals itself in a new trailer, looks like Genshin Impact as an MMORPG

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Gran Saga has released a new trailer, in which you can admire its vast game world. It looks absolutely fantastic.

What can be seen in the trailer? The video shows several locations from the game world that you can explore in the MMORPG Gran Saga. The interesting thing about this world is that it is not an open world, but you travel between different zones on a world map, much like in classic JRPGs. However, these zones are often so large that they almost feel like an open world.

  • You see a gigantic city that is so big that you can ride through the streets on horseback.
  • In the wilderness, you will encounter mysterious structures and ruins as well as beautiful landscapes that invite you to linger.
  • There are mysterious, gloomy places. Swamps with dead, gnarled trees from which a mysterious blue energy emanates.
  • A heroine rides over a sparkling lake, while another character stands in a desert next to a dragon-like creature.
  • In the distant ocean, a structure can be seen that looks like a crashed flying object. Such mysterious structures, like ancient, giant weapons, can be found in several locations.
  • Volcano caves, crystal landscapes, eerie and foggy places are also shown.

Gran Saga is an anime to play and watch

What impression does the video make? Gran Saga feels like an anime to play. The developers placed particular importance on the visuals because it is crucial for them that the MMORPG is successful on streaming platforms like Twitch. Viewers should always feel like they are watching an anime where the story continues to unfold.

The video definitely makes you want to visit the shown locations and uncover their secrets. The game visually reminds of the successful Genshin Impact. However, it offers an MMORPG gameplay experience with some interesting innovations.

This includes the weapon system, which allows you to define your playstyle and develop through the special weapons you wield.

When is the game coming out? Gran Saga launches in South Korea on January 26 on PC and Android and iOS devices as a Free2Play game. An international release is planned, but as of now, there is no launch date.

So if you are interested in Gran Saga, you can look forward to a release here in the country, but you will still have to be a little patient. After the launch in South Korea, we should gradually learn more about the international release.

Check out these crazy sneakers with an ‘RTX 3080’

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

The sneaker manufacturer Artifact Studios has presented its new model: shoes that look like a PC. Or are they actually a functioning PC?

What kind of shoes are these? What happens when a luxury sneaker manufacturer with limited designs teams up with a gaming PC manufacturer for a joint project? Apparently, “the future of fashion and collectibles.”

This is at least how Artifact Studios announced their latest creation: shoes powered by an “RTX 3080.”

The futuristic design of the shoes combines the look and shape of sneakers with a PC case, as inside you can see cabling and hardware through the glass that resembles a motherboard.

Artifact Studios partnered with the manufacturer NZXT. This company is known for PC cases and PC hardware, but also for liquid cooling solutions. In a video on Twitter, Artifact Studios demonstrates the joint creation with NZXT:

https://twitter.com/RTFKTstudios/status/1351966812880183296

Like most other products from RTFKT, these shoes will also be limited. However, it is still unknown how much they will cost. So if any of you want to grab the sneakers, you’ll need to be patient and keep your eyes peeled.

More funny and interesting gaming gadgets on MeinMMO can be found here:

Can the shoes actually do anything? It is not quite clear whether RTFKT’s new “PC sneakers” actually house a small PC that can also be used for gaming.

The shoes feature small working screens that can display anime like Dragon Ball or Yu-Gi-Oh! as shown in the Twitter video. This strongly resembles NZXT’s own liquid cooling. The “NZXT Kraken Z63” liquid cooler features customizable LCD displays that can showcase various things like videos.

So it could very well be that your PC sneakers are cooled with water.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Nevertheless, these special sneakers seem to be more suited to being placed on a shelf with your other gaming merchandise and collectibles.

Wearing the sneakers like regular shoes would likely be rather suboptimal given the hardware inside. Moreover, it would likely be quite a wet affair for your feet with liquid cooling.

Who is Artifact Studios? The company specializes in the production of luxurious shoes that are available in limited quantities. Their designs are mostly inspired by gaming and e-sports, and they have previously collaborated with stars like the FaZe Clan.

MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online brings “most controversial” change in 11 years

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

What do you think about this change? Can you live with it or are you angry as well?

The MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online is set to come to PS5, Xbox Series X – Major upgrades planned.

The community of the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online (PC) is currently in an uproar, as a change has been introduced that is possibly the most controversial in 11 years.

What is this change? In the quite successful MMORPG, it is necessary to find so-called “Scrolls of Empowerment.” These allow players to level up the legendary items that are crucial for the endgame.

With this change, it has become extremely difficult to find these scrolls. This also makes it significantly harder to upgrade equipment, which negatively impacts the endgame.

Especially those who want to bring an item to level 100 are now facing a big challenge, as this now takes an extremely long time.

It becomes problematic when groups are being formed for endgame content. Players who have level 100 for legendary items are preferred. This could mean that some players will now be excluded from this content longer until they have grinded enough to bring the legendaries to 100 with the “Scrolls of Empowerment.”

LOTRO battle
A change in The Lord of the Rings Online makes players really angry.

A change in LOTRO that is not well received

What do the players think about it? There has been intense discussion about the change. Many players are extremely upset and express their anger freely. We summarize some voices from the very roleplay-oriented community here for you.

  • James Baggins writes on Twitter: “This patch does nothing but harm the game and your studio’s name. It is a complete disappointment!”
  • Nath, who is regarded as an expert on the MMORPG, writes on Twitter: “Looks like that’s it. Four people, two veterans and two newcomers from my 6-man leveling group left LOTRO tonight after seeing the scroll changes pushed through. This is not a good sign for the future of the game.” He adds on Twitter: “After 11 years of playing, I’ve seen many things, but nothing has been as controversial as this.”
https://twitter.com/Nathrien/status/1351729816580616197
  • Arnenna writes in the official forum (via lotro.com): “At this point, I am done with the game… just done, and I really don’t care anymore.”
  • Starliteyes sees it a bit differently (via lotro.com): “Grinding doesn’t bother me much to get the stuff I need. Then I play more, which means more fun for me.”

What do the developers say about it? The team is aware that the community does not like this change to the scrolls and seems not to be satisfied with it themselves. There is a statement in the official LOTRO forum:

We will take another look at the distribution of the “Scrolls of Empowerment” in the near future for a patch, but we didn’t want to hold up the other changes in this patch, especially some of the performance work, and it will be helpful to get some fresh feedback after people have been engaged with these changes for a while.

CoD Cold War was briefly available for 5 € on PS4, PS5 – But Sony now says: No

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

A supposed bug has led players on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 to purchase the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War for €5. This apparently was not intended, as they are now reporting error messages and can no longer play.

What was this deal? In December 2020, PlayStation players could buy the new Cold War in the PS Store for €5. For this money, they received the “Crossgen Bundle,” which includes the base game for PS4 and PS5, as well as some skins and blueprints.

The bundle normally costs €74.99 in the store. Interested players could save a significant amount of money here.

This was probably the best deal for Cold War so far. Image source: play-experience.

The offer was only available for a short time and it apparently was a mistake, as it was disabled shortly afterward. Now, some players report that they see an error message stating that their game license is invalid.

“Cold War” licenses are invalid

This is what Sony says: Players report that they now see error messages on their consoles. According to these, the license they purchased is “only available for owners of the digital version of Black Ops Cold War on PS4.”

They now suspect that the €5 purchase was merely the digital upgrade from PS4 to PS5, not the actually more expensive Crossgen Bundle. According to the message, players can no longer play and will be refunded.

Players have apparently been receiving this error message since January 20. Image source: mydealz.

Supposedly, owners of the version can still play for the moment, but likely not for long. Those who want to continue playing should purchase Cold War in the PS Store according to the message.

Shortly after the mishap, there was an actual discount for Cold War, where the Crossgen Bundle was reduced by 27%. Additionally, the popular zombie mode was also completely free for a while.

On the deal platform mydealz.de, users are not very upset about the aftermath. Most accept that it was a mistake and took the short time to play through the campaign. Since the money has been refunded, it is not all that tragic.

More about CoD Cold War on MeinMMO:

More problems in Cold War: With an upcoming change, an old issue has resurfaced. CoD Cold War is getting a ranked mode and players are now demanding the removal of “skill-based matchmaking.” This annoying topic has been around for several years and versions of Call of Duty. Whether it will change this time remains to be seen.

Pokémon GO: Do you want to catch Minun and Plusle? Play on Sunday

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, trainers are desperately looking for Minun and Plusle. In this guide, we will show you where to find both and when the chances are even greater.

What is the task? In Pokémon GO, the Hoenn event is currently running, bringing you a limited-time research with a collection task. You are supposed to catch certain species of Pokémon to complete your Hoenn collector challenge.

The task requires you to catch 9 different species, including the two monsters Minun and Plusle. However, these particular ones are causing trainers headaches because they are hard to find.

In this overview, we will show you where to catch Minun and Plusle and why you should take time for it on Sunday.

Where can you find Minun and Plusle?

Field research: Anyone currently wanting to catch Minun and Plusle is having a hard time. One possibility is when completing a specific field research.

  • Catch 11 Pokémon

For successfully completing the task, you will then receive an encounter with Minun or Plusle. The chances are supposed to be about 50% for each encounter. However, it can happen that you complete the quest multiple times and receive the same species back to back. So be patient if you want to catch them via research.

But that’s not the only way to get the coveted Pokémon.

Pokémon GO Voltilamm Smoke Title

Smoke Day with Voltilamm seems ideal for the challenge

What is this? This event was announced by Niantic just recently. On Sunday, January 24, 2021, the smoke day with Voltilamm, Electric, and Dragon Pokémon takes place.

The event starts at 11:00 AM local time. Then the spawns will alternate between Electric and Dragon Pokémon. During the Electric hours, Minun and Plusle can spawn.

In the event overview for the smoke day with Voltilamm, you can see what times you need to play for this.

This event should significantly simplify the catching challenge for you.

More about Pokémon GO:

Have you already caught Minun and Plusle or are you still on the hunt? Are you using the smoke day on the weekend with Voltilamm or will you not be playing during that time?

Let us know in the comments on MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other trainers.

The next events in January 2021 for Pokémon GO are already just around the corner.

Injection of funds breathes fresh life into exciting new PvE MMORPG

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

The promising PvE MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen (PC) has received a funding boost. This is intended to further the development. In 2021, the online role-playing game aims to achieve several milestones.

What is Pantheon? The PC MMORPG follows in the footsteps of the classic Everquest 1 and aims to provide a player experience primarily focused on groups. The team essentially wants to offer an online role-playing game that illustrates how the genre could have evolved from Everquest 1 if World of Warcraft had not existed – even if it currently doesn’t come across as very modern graphically.

The focus is on quests, story, dungeons, and raids that you experience in a team. The MMORPG offers a classic experience with the Holy Trinity of tank, damage dealer, and healer and tactical tab-targeting combat.

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen relies on classic MMORPG virtues and especially on group content.

More Money for the MMORPG Pantheon

What kind of investment is this? The development studio Visionary Realms announced that they have received a seven-figure amount as a private investment in the MMORPG (that is, between 1,000,000 and 9,999,999 US dollars). However, no specific details about this deal were mentioned.

As a first step, the studio hired Christopher R. Kronenthal, an expert in global solutions architecture and omni-channel environments, as a new member of the management team.

We are very happy that Chris Kronenthal has joined us and is supporting us in closing the funding round. The partnership just makes sense. He has incredible insight and a rare acumen that aligns with all our goals for Pantheon and Visionary Realms as a company.

Statement from Christopher Rowan, Chairman and CEO Visionary Realms

Kronenthal himself explains that he finds Visionary Realms very committed and competent in all matters related to game design and ecosystem, technology, and architecture. He believes that players of all kinds will enjoy the epic adventure of Pantheon.

What will the money be used for? The team announced that the seven-figure amount does not represent the full financing necessary to complete Pantheon.

The studio plans to use the funds to continue the development of the game, make preparations to support the more than 8,000 players who have already signed up for an alpha version of the game, and strengthen its back-end systems that support the game client, accounts, and front-end web platforms.

Statement from Visionary Realms

What is the current status of the MMORPG? The team continually showcases new versions, which are slowly taking on the character of a full-fledged MMORPG. In a recent livestream with YouTuber and role-playing expert Ben “CohhCarnage” Cassell, a dungeon run was shown where the developers particularly proudly displayed the now mostly functional music in the game.

YouTuber CohhCarnage plays the latest version of Pantheon.

This clearly shows that while work is being done on the game, progress is slow.

There is also a reason for this. At the end of 2019, Visionary Realms had to announce the sudden death of studio founder Brad McQuaid, who was known for his work on the MMORPG classics Everquest and Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. This has led to some restructuring, but the team is now slowly getting back on track.

When can we expect the release? Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is not expected to be released before 2022. The alpha could still launch this year, but a release date is currently not foreseeable. The team is taking its time to implement the vision of the late Brad McQuaid and satisfy fans of classic MMORPGs.

MeinMMO author Andreas Bertits is very much looking forward to Pantheon. It belongs to the 5 MMORPGs that particularly interest him.

Destiny 2 removes popular raid glitch – players immediately find an alternative

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, you can also easily obtain the first hidden raid chest solo in the Deep Stone Crypt even after Patch 3.0.2. MeinMMO shows how to permanently activate “Refuge from the Storm” now.

This is what happened: On January 19, the Patch 3.0.2 for Destiny 2 was released. It brought many improvements and also a requested Hunter nerf. However, it also removed the ability to permanently protect yourself in the Deep Stone Crypt from “Refuge from the Storm” through an exploit.

This hit many players hard, as it significantly makes obtaining the valuable first solo chest in the raid much harder.

However, after about a day, clever Guardians have already discovered a new method that bypasses the Frostbite debuff and essentially works like the original cheese.

Get the chest from the Deep Stone Crypt raid easily solo without Frostbite

Here’s how it works after Patch 3.0.2: Go into the Deep Stone Crypt raid on Europa as normal and start the activity. Defeat all adds and the 2 Fallen Captains in the first area to open the large door.

Then take the short path to the airlock where you will see the 6 Fallen Gliders (mosquitoes).

Airlock Deep Stone Crypt Raid Destiny 2 Mosquito
This airlock enables frostbite immunity

Now it gets interesting:

  • Slowly drive your Sparrow to the 2nd door in the airlock until it opens.
  • Position the Sparrow so that you drive slowly through the airlock and come to a stop directly behind the airlock at the gliders.
  • The Sparrow should be facing left – that way you will drop back into the airlock.
  • Get off quickly now (you are now in the airlock, but your Sparrow is in the open snow area).
  • As soon as the airlock opens again, get back on your Sparrow.

The whole process takes 10 seconds, and you’ll be immune to the annoying frostbite debuff and enjoy permanent “Refuge from the Storm.”.

Stand like this and dismount from the Sparrow

The whole thing needs to be done quickly. Otherwise, the airlock gate will close, and you won’t be able to get through. Otherwise, pack a rocket launcher and launch yourself into the air for another attempt.

We tested this method ourselves at MeinMMO, and it worked perfectly on the 2nd attempt (January 21, 2021, at around 8 AM)

Tip: To make the cheese as easy as possible, choose a small Sparrow. It bumps less against the passage. So rummage through your collection (under Equipment, you will find Sparrows).

Here you can see the entire process in the video:

Please note: Once you have your frostbite protection, you should be very careful. Because you can no longer easily regain immunity from the cold as before the patch.

Alternatively, just dismount from the Sparrow and make the way on foot – you will remain immune the entire way without your vehicle. It takes a bit longer, but it is much safer, as you won’t accidentally rush too quickly over a glacier crack and plummet into the abyss.

If you are interested in the route through the snowstorm, you can find more information here on MeinMMO:

Destiny 2: How to get the 1st raid chest solo and why you should do it
von Sven Galitzki

This is why it’s so good: The cheese was very popular and was used by both teams and solo players. With the newly found method, you can now easily secure the first hidden chest without raid experience.

  • Here you can obtain conquest loot once a week per character (10 pieces).
  • With this, you can buy rare raid weapons like Anarchy or Tarrabah at the Exotic kiosk in the Tower.
  • Once you complete the raid, you can buy additional raid drops with random rolls using the conquest loot.
  • Teams use the exploit to shorten the pre-phase and start directly in the actual fight.

Are you glad that the Guardians found a new method so quickly? Have raid glitches been a part of Destiny since 2014, or do you find that dishonorable? Let us know in the comments.

Officially, there has been no information from Sony yet regarding when to expect a replenishment. However, it appears that there is finally movement in the situation.

Will the PlayStation 5 be available for purchase again soon?

Considering recent developments, there are indeed realistic chances that the PS5 can be ordered again soon.

Reasons to be optimistic: For several days, there have been rumors that German retailers might receive a new supply of PS5 this week (3rd calendar week) or next week (4th calendar week). The website Gameswirtschaft reported this citing insiders. And it seems that this has actually happened.

The PS5 is still a rarity for many in 2021

For example, Saturn has now started sending out outstanding PS5 orders and offers the option to pick up the console in-store. MediaMarkt has begun to charge customers who have placed orders, suggesting that outstanding PS5 consoles will soon be delivered here as well. You can read more about this here: MediaMarkt and Saturn are delivering PS5 again – When will there be more?

So it looks like new PS5 allocations are indeed reaching German retailers at the moment. Additionally, some major retailers in the USA and Europe have already offered new PS5 this week. So there is finally some action, and Germany shouldn’t be an exception.

When will the 4th wave start? Gameswirtschaft expects that the PlayStation 5 could be available for purchase again in Germany as part of these fresh supply deliveries as early as next week (calendar week 4, from January 25 to January 31). So starting from January 25, you should keep an eye on corresponding retailers.

While this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, the site Gameswirtschaft is considered well-informed and has been correct in most cases with their assessments and predictions regarding the PS5.

Keep in mind: The majority of the new PS5 allocations are likely reserved for customers who have already ordered and paid but are still waiting for their goods. Therefore, some retailers might not offer any new consoles for purchase.

While new consoles are expected to be available for order again, it seems only very small quantities will be available. Because previously unfulfilled (pre)orders take precedence according to Gameswirtschaft.

If the 4th wave does indeed start soon, you will need to act quickly and also require a fair bit of luck. The previous ordering waves were all chaotic and the consoles were sold out within minutes.

Which retailers should you check? If you want to secure a PS5, you should particularly look at the following retailers:

  • Amazon
  • Expert
  • Euronics
  • Otto
  • GameStop
  • Medimax
  • Müller
  • MediaMarkt
  • Saturn
PS5 pre-order

Yes, also MediaMarkt and Saturn. Both are expected to re-enter sales according to Gameswirtschaft this time – unlike in the previous two waves (wave 3 and the mini wave 3.5).

It could be worthwhile to keep an eye on these retailers not just from next week, but already now. Because the supply has apparently already reached some retailers this week.

How important is a 4K TV or monitor for gaming to you?

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

The 4K resolution has now become firmly established in gaming. It is supported not only by graphics cards but also by the new consoles. But how important is it to you?

This is the state of 4K devices: The technology for displaying 4K resolution has existed for many years.

However, the 4K resolution really experienced a boost in the past decade and has also found its way into gaming. TVs and monitors that are “gaming-ready” and offer the corresponding resolution became cheaper and more affordable for more gaming enthusiasts in 2014-2015.

Nowadays, more and more games support 4K resolution, and major publishers try to make their expensive AAA games look as spectacular as possible.

4K resolution scaling
This is how the 4K resolution behaves compared to others (Image source: Wikipedia)

PC gamers can utilize this technology thanks to their powerful graphics cards, and with the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, console gamers can also fully enjoy the beautiful resolution. However, this can only come across properly if players have the appropriate devices that can display 4K.

In general, 4K TVs and monitors offer sharper images, stronger colors, and contrasts and generally enhance the viewer’s visual experience.

But how important is that to you? How much do proper 4K-capable TVs and monitors contribute to your gaming experience? Do you already have a 4K monitor or TV, or is it just an expendable gimmick for you? Vote and let us know in the comments!

How can I vote? In the survey below the article, you can give two votes on the topic of 4K gaming:

  • The first slide is about the question of how important it is for you to own a proper 4K device for gaming
  • The second slide allows you to tell us whether you already have one or not

You have one vote for each question that you can give. The survey ends on Saturday, January 23.

Have fun voting!

WoW Classic is getting a new patch – but a different one than you think

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In WoW Classic, patch 1.13.7 is coming. This changes a lot, especially for PvP enthusiasts, but there are also new features in PvE that you should be aware of.

In World of Warcraft Classic, the wait for the announcement of “The Burning Crusade Classic” has begun. However, Blizzard apparently has something else in mind first. A new PTR is testing patch 1.13.7. This currently contains only one change, but it is significant. This fundamentally changes how spells and abilities are handled in WoW Classic.

What will be changed? Blizzard is temporarily changing the delay for so-called “Spell Batching” from 400 milliseconds to 10 milliseconds. Anyone who wants to experience this change for themselves can try it out on the PTR and see how it feels.

Spell Batching is simply part of Classic for many.

What is Spell Batching? In WoW, “Spell Batching” refers to the simultaneous handling of multiple abilities that are executed at different times. This reduces server load and allows for smoother gameplay; however, it can also lead to overlaps.

Currently, there is a Spell Batching of 400ms in WoW Classic. This means that all spells and abilities that are completed within 0.4 seconds are treated by the server as if they are happening simultaneously. For example, two mages can turn each other into sheep, or a warrior can charge and stun a mage, but at the same time, he is turned into a sheep by the mage.

This value will be reduced to 10ms.

More on the topic
Every second of you found WoW Classic really awesome – but not all of you
von Cortyn

What does the change mean? In plain language, this means that abilities with a time delay will no longer be grouped together, and there will be many more intervals in which abilities can be used. This is especially interesting in PvP, where quick reactions are crucial, and a time window of 0.4 seconds is considered far too large.

WoW Classic PvP Battlegrounds Patch Notes
Especially in PvP, a change to Spell Batching will make a big difference.

Why is Blizzard doing this? It is not clearly stated why Blizzard is testing and wants to implement this change now. However, it is certain that Blizzard first wants to find out whether this change is compatible with WoW Classic and whether all abilities function correctly or if there are errors.

Many fans hope that Blizzard is making the first preparations for “The Burning Crusade Classic”. Because there, arena matches take place, and a Spell Batching of 400ms would be almost unthinkable.

Do you think this change is good and meaningful? Or should WoW Classic retain the increased values for Spell Batching until the end?

The supposed release date of “The Burning Crusade Classic” has already been leaked…

CoD professional ends career at 25 – Injury makes continuing impossible

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

The esports player “ZooMaa” has been active as a professional in Call of Duty in recent years, but now must end his career early. An injury forces him to take this step.

This is ZooMaa: Thomas “ZooMaa” Paparatto began his career as a Call of Duty professional in 2013 and changed teams multiple times in the following years. He then spent four years as a member of the FaZe Clan before most recently competing for the New York Subliners.

However, in the future, the 25-year-old professional will not be able to pursue this career any longer. He explained this in a post (via TwitLonger).

“I don’t know what to do at this point”

What the retirement means for ZooMaa: As the player explains, the post was the “hardest thing he has ever had to write.” In the foreseeable future, he will no longer be able to compete in competitive Call of Duty because an old, long-standing injury has resurfaced.

I don’t know if many of you remember, but a few years ago when I was with FaZe, I struggled with weakness in my thumb/wrist and had to undergo surgery. The process of getting healthy again was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, both physically and mentally, which led to a lot of stress and anxiety.

ZooMaa via TwitLonger

Now the injury has returned, making it impossible for him to compete at the highest level. It is simply not possible to achieve this performance because of the pain.

More about Call of Duty on MeinMMO:

He is no longer “the real ZooMaa” and feels that it is not fair to him and his team to go through all of this again. Another danger is that his hand could suffer even more damage.

It breaks my heart to part ways with a game that I have poured my heart and soul into every single day for eight years. I tear up as I write this, but I don’t know what to do at this point.

ZooMaa via TwitLonger

However, he has had a fantastic run and loved having such a long career as a player. He still wants to support the scene in the future – even if he does not yet know what comes next.

ZooMaa’s current team bid farewell to the professional

Thus, ZooMaa’s career ends at just 25 years – an age at which many other people are just starting to find their footing in their jobs.

However, many esports athletes are significantly younger than ZooMaa. Fortnite pro Benjy Fish, for example, is only 16 years old and has spent the past two years fully diving into esports – but recently criticized it quite a bit.

LoL team brings in new support for $6 million from China – He will immediately be number 1 in North America

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

The League of Legends team TSM from North America has signed support Hu “SwordArt” Shuo-Chieh from China. He has already impressed in his first games for TSM. Now he even reached 1st place in SoloQ.

What kind of player is he? SwordArt played in Season 10 for the Chinese team Suning. The team reached the finals of Worlds in 2020 and lost to the winner DAMWON Gaming, who had previously eliminated G2 Esports.

In November 2020, he moved to TSM for the proud transfer fee of 6 million dollars. Meanwhile, SwordArt is also training in the solo leaderboard of the region and has now reached rank 1, with a narrow lead of 39 points over second place.

He achieved this only with support champions like Bard, Alistar, and Pantheon, and a winning rate of impressive 64 % (via OP.gg).

LoL NA Ranking
SwordArt is ranked 1 in NA at the time of the news (January 20 at 7:30 PM).

What is so special about SwordArt? The Taiwanese player has made it to Worlds multiple times during his career but has rarely progressed beyond the group stage.

Only last year at the age of 24 did he truly attract attention with Team Suning. However, he is already considered almost at retirement age when it comes to E-sports and LoL.

Additionally, there is a quirky situation surrounding his move to the American team SoloMid. Originally, the also aging Yilang “Doublelift” Peng wanted him desperately by his side. But just before the transfer, he decided to retire.

More about LoL on MeinMMO:

SwordArt was Doublelift’s desired partner, but he retires first

What happened? The American team SoloMid exited the 2020 World Championship with 0 wins and 6 losses in the group stage. The team was dissatisfied with this result.

The mid laner Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg then ended his career, but Doublelift wanted to continue as long as he had a good support player by his side. That was to be SwordArt.

However, the deal was threatened to fall through, and Doublelift also announced his retirement. Only one day later, however, TSM announced SwordArt’s transfer. Nevertheless, the former AD carry of TSM decided not to return.

TSM starts unevenly, but SwordArt impresses

How is SwordArt performing for TSM? In America, the new Lock In tournament of the LCS started last weekend. Team SoloMid achieved 2 wins and 1 loss in their group and started moderately:

  • They lost the opening match against 100 Thieves decisively, getting only one kill and being killed 8 times. They lost after just 26 minutes.
  • In the following matches, TSM performed somewhat stronger, with the duel against CLG being very balanced for long periods.

SwordArt had mostly good games, but was often very aggressive in his gameplay, which not all his teammates could match. However, he was a key player against CLG while playing Leona.

FIFA 21: TOTW 17 brings Ben Yedder, the nightmare of all players

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

The new TOTW 17 in FIFA 21 is now available and brings with it a card of Ben Yedder that can presumably tear apart any defense.

When does the TOTW 17 come out? The TOTW 17 is live now, as of January 20 at 7:00 PM. It is available for a week and can be drawn from packs.

As always, there are the black, improved Inform cards of players who have shone in real football through strong performances. They have higher values than the standard cards and are worth more on the transfer market.

This is how you can get the TOTW: To get the cards, you can try with packs – although the chance is very small. The players are also available on the transfer market shortly after release, but they are usually quite expensive.

In the Weekend League rewards, you also receive TOTW players as Player Picks.

The complete TOTW 17 is now live

TOTW 17

The TOTW 17 starting eleven:

  • GK: Oukidja (81)
  • CB: Ogbonna (84)
  • CB: Stones (83)
  • CB: Criscito (82)
  • CDM: Pogba (88)
  • CAM: Müller (88)
  • LM: Insigne (87)
  • CM: Koopmeiners (84)
  • ST: Ben Yedder (87)
  • ST: Ajorque (84)
  • ST: Jovic (83)

The TOTW 17 bench:

  • GK: Zentner (81)
  • CB: Andrei Girotto (81)
  • CDM: Tielemans (84)
  • CM: Ndombele (83)
  • CM: Barella (83)
  • ST: Malen (82)
  • ST: Prevljak (78)
  • GK: Acevedo (79)
  • LM: George (76)
  • ST: Giakoumakis (75)
  • ST: Wyke (74)
  • ST: Bayo (73)

The top 3 players in TOTW 17

These are the top players: According to the overall ratings, the following three players are the top cards in TOTW.

  • In the trio of the 3 best cards, he has the “lowest” overall value, but not much more needs to be said about Wissam Ben Yedder. The attacker has been considered an OP striker in FIFA games for a while now and regularly causes nightmares for the defenses of unsuspecting players. Those who have him on their team can look forward to goals. Those who play against him should brace themselves. Ben Yedder has almost become a meme, which the real player has humorously made use of. He also has a Headliners card, which improves by one point with the new TOTW card. Let’s just hope that we don’t encounter him too often in the coming days.
  • Only a little less intimidating is the “Paul Pogba” card in the new TOTW. The Frenchman has extremely strong values for a midfielder and is perfect as a linchpin in Premier League teams. However, it is likely to be correspondingly expensive.
  • Thomas Müller also receives a new TOTW card, which has good values as well. However, the speed is not very high, which makes him a bit less useful than other offensive candidates.

The Bundesliga in TOTW 17

Several Bundesliga teams are back in the mix. In addition to Thomas Müller, two candidates have made it.

  • Luka Jovic made a statement upon his return for Eintracht Frankfurt and rightfully earns a TOTW card, which mainly features strong shooting and dribbling values.
  • Mainz keeper Zentner is also in, although he’s rated only 81 with his card.

Furthermore, George from Jahn Regensburg is also a second division player in the current TOTW 17. These cards won’t be the only special cards this week: On Friday, the Team of the Year event begins.

You can now buy real “The Elder Scrolls” wedding rings – For $1,000, with Mara’s blessing

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In the Bethesda store, you can currently order wedding rings for The Elder Scrolls. These are made of 10-carat gold and can be ordered until February 14. Price: 1,000 dollars.

What kind of rings are these? The wedding rings “Ritual of Mara” are probably the most expensive merch you can currently find in the Bethesda Shop.

For 1,000 dollars, you will receive a 10-carat ring in yellow gold, which has been polished to a shine. It also includes the inscription “With this ring and Mara’s blessing” on the inside.

Particularly striking is the robust, Nordic appearance, which you probably have to like as a wedding ring.

What should be noted about the rings? According to Bethesda, the rings are only available as a one-time action and only for pre-order until February 14, 2021. However, they will be delivered only in April 2021.

For two Elder Scrolls fans who met through the games, these rings could be a special sign. We reported in 2018 about 3 couples who shared stories of their time together in ESO.

Anyone who finds them cool just for their appearance can also order the same model in silver for 85 dollars.

With the blessing of the goddess of love

What is behind Mara? Mara is one of the 9 gods in the Elder Scrolls universe. She represents love, is the patron saint of the fertile earth, and is a source of compassion and understanding among mortals.

In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, the wedding ceremony is referred to as the “Ritual of Mara,” as stated in the engraving of the rings. Thus, ESO is one of the MMORPGs where official marriages can take place.

ESO Wedding Ritual
The wedding ritual in ESO is always performed at a shrine of Mara or at a shrine of Mother Morrowind.

Anyone who has never had contact with ESO so far has just caught a good time. The new expansion Greymoor has already been significantly reduced in many shops, and right now, there’s even ESO+, the premium version of the game, available for free for a week:

Unlocking the Predator Skin – Here’s how

To unlock the skin and cosmetics and play as Predator, you first have to complete a few tasks. We will show you how it works.

Some challenges are self-explanatory, but we will explain the more difficult challenges in detail.

These are the challenges you need to complete for the Predator items:

  • Collect medkits (3)
  • Find the mysterious capsule
  • Talk to Beefboss, Remedy, and Dummy
  • Visit the Predator’s apartment in Hunter’s Haven as Predator
  • Deal damage while having infrared vision activated as Predator (100 damage)
  • Spend 30 seconds as Predator within 10 meters of a player
  • Complete a bounty hunt as Predator
  • Collect at least legendary weapons (1)
  • Defeat the Predator

Jungle Hunter Quests Week 1

Find the mysterious capsule: In one of the first tasks, you need to find the capsule that has landed on the island. For this, you need to head to Stealthy Stronghold. The mysterious capsule is located in the middle of the jungle.

Talk to Beefboss, Remedy, and Dummy: In another task from the first week, you need to talk to 3 different NPCs. This task may take a few attempts, as they do not always spawn at the same location.

But if you’re lucky, you’ll find all 3 near Stealthy Stronghold. It’s best to stop by there after visiting the mysterious capsule. You should find Beefboss, Remedy, and Dummy at these locations:

Once you have completed these 3 challenges, you will earn some Predator items like sprays and emoticons. After that, you can focus on the remaining Jungle Hunter quests.

Jungle Hunter Quests Week 2

Visit the Predator’s apartment in Hunter’s Haven as Predator: You will only be able to complete this task once you have unlocked the Predator skin. For the task, it is required that you have equipped it.

After that, you can go to the named location Hunter’s Haven on the Season 5 map and visit the Predator’s apartment. This was added with update 15.21 and contains some items of the hunter.

Once you have completed all 9 Jungle Hunter quests, you will unlock cosmetics, sprays, emoticons, and emotes, all of which are related to the Predator. You can then equip yourself and become the hunter in the game.

However, for some tasks, you first have to unlock the Predator skin. You can achieve this by defeating the Predator boss. We have compiled the location of the Predator in Fortnite and some tips in a guide to help you defeat him faster.
