In WoW, the Malevolent/Volcanic week is now running – The best Mythic+ and tips

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 5 minutes

Mythic Keystone Dungeons (“Mythic+”) are among the toughest PvE challenges in World of Warcraft. Each week, the way you should approach the dungeons changes. MeinMMO provides tips for the affixes this week, Tyrannical and Volcanic, and shows you which dungeons are best to tackle.

How do Mythic+ Dungeons work? A Mythic Keystone dungeon is a tougher version of the regular Mythic dungeons. You need a named Keystone to participate, which you obtain by completing a Mythic dungeon or by opening the Great Vault.

Keystones start at +2 and scale infinitely. You have a time limit to meet and a certain number of enemies to defeat for the dungeon to be considered conquered. If you complete it within the time limit, you can upgrade the Keystone by up to three levels.

Each level increases the strength of the enemies in the dungeon. At certain levels, there are also better loot opportunities and so-called “affixes” that make the dungeons even harder.

How long does the Affix Week last? The Affix Week starts on Wednesday, January 20th. The week goes until Wednesday, January 27th.

Which affixes are active this week? A keystone can have up to four affixes that apply to the entire dungeon. The following affixes are active:

  • Fortified (Level 2+) – Normal enemies have an additional +20% health and +30% damage
  • Tyrannical (Level 4+) – Defeated enemies leave behind a spirit that chases and attacks players
  • Volcanic (Level 7+) – In combat, enemies create volcanoes beneath faraway players that erupt after a short time, dealing 20% of their maximum health as damage and launching them into the air
  • Pride (Level 10+) – Once you defeat 20% of the enemy forces, a manifestation of Pride appears that you must defeat
WoW Mythic Dungeons Overview Pride
In the Dungeon Browser (key I), you will find an overview of the affixes for the week.

Each of these affixes can surprise players if they are not used to them or are not well-acquainted. We provide tips on how to play each one correctly and which dungeons are easier for you this week.

The best dungeons this week

Here are the easy ones: The two easiest dungeons this week are the Mists of Tirna Scithe and the Theater of Pain. These are relatively easy to play every week, as they do not present overly complicated mechanics.

You have plenty of space in both dungeons to manage the affixes without aggroing other enemies. The bosses are also quite manageable. Only in the Mists do you need to pay attention to properly solving the mist puzzle.

Also fairly easy this week are Plaguefall and the Theater of Pain.

More on WoW Shadowlands on MeinMMO:

These dungeons are harder: With the affixes this week, the Sanguine Depths and The Other Side are slightly more challenging. Here, there are already strong “normal” enemies that become even tougher with Fortified.

The Necrotic Wake is even tougher since some groups here are more powerful than those in the Sanguine Depths or The Other Side. Enemies with the ability “necrotic bolt” and the skeletal marauders can quickly wipe an inattentive group.

The most difficult this week are the Theater of Pain. The bosses in the dungeon are considered the toughest in the game and are exhausting even without Tyrannical. The groups are also more challenging with Fortified, and there is little room to avoid Tyrannical and Volcanic.

Fortified and Pride – What you need to watch out for

What are these affixes? These two are a bit different. Fortified rotates weekly with Tyrannical. These two affixes either strengthen normal enemies or bosses.

Pride, on the other hand, is the seasonal affix. This affix will be active from level 10 for the entire first season of Shadowlands.

How to best handle these affixes: Fortified and Tyrannical do not have any special mechanics. You just need to ensure that you do not pull too many large groups with Fortified on higher levels. Use your cooldowns even for “trash mobs”.

With Pride, on the other hand, you need to manage it properly. Defeating the manifestation grants you a damage buff for one minute, which you should use on particularly tough enemies.

Try to reach the 20% mark before a tough fight and then defeat the manifestation before you engage in the next fight. Be aware that the manifestation does not appear in the middle of a fight. Addons like Mythic Dungeon Tools show you how much percent a foe is worth and even allow you to plan routes.

Here you can find Mythic Dungeon Tools on curse.

Tyrannical and Volcanic – What you need to watch out for

How to best handle these affixes: Tyrannical and Volcanic are the two special affixes for this week. Both are not necessarily difficult to manage, making them good for learning for new players.

With Tyrannical, ghosts appear, losing 8% of their health every second. They are fully controllable, so you can generally just freeze, push away, or stun them and then ignore them.

Killing them actively wastes time unnecessarily, but it’s also an option. Just make sure they do not reach you, as their attacks deal significant damage.

Volcanic is somewhat easier. The volcanoes beneath your feet glow brightly, and you have two seconds to avoid them. The only important thing is that you can see your character.

Your interface should not be too cluttered. As soon as a volcano appears beneath you, take two steps to the side.

Which classes have it easier? Melee classes are generally not affected by volcanoes, allowing them to focus on less. However, they need to pay more attention to the ghosts than ranged classes.

It is best to communicate with the tank, so they can reposition groups when ghosts are chasing you. However, tanks generally prefer strategies where they pull enemies in circles. Classes that have particular ease include:

  • Death Knights: can greatly slow or stun ghosts
  • Outlaw Rogues: have a longer melee range
  • Ranged classes that can continue attacking while moving

von Cortyn

Which classes have it harder? Generally, ranged classes have it a bit tougher this week, but not by much. The affixes are balanced; only the volcanoes can interrupt some spells.

The hardest hit are probably healers since they must decide whether to heal their tank during a volcano or avoid it. Classes that have it tough are:

  • generally healers without instant spells or heals over time (“HoTs”)
  • spell-casting classes with long spells like Destruction Warlocks

If you’re still struggling with Mythic+ dungeons, you’ll find in our guide on MeinMMO two tools that help you get the most out of your character in WoW.

WoW: The best guild was „World First“, although the secret weapon was missing

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

Despite adversities such as the Corona pandemic, the guild Limit has won the World First race in WoW . However, they missed their daily secret weapon.

The race for the World First kill of Sire Denathrius in Castle Nathria, the only raid in WoW: Shadowlands so far, was some time ago. However, the victory of Complexity Limit (with accompanying nerd screams) is still being discussed and talked about. After all, there were many concerns and criticism directed at Blizzard for opening the raid just before Christmas. The covenant system was also in the crossfire of the community. Concerns that have dissipated over the first weeks.

Complexity-Limit was able to put in a good performance in the “World First” race and defend the title – with a kill just before Christmas, on December 23rd. The magazine PCGamesN conducted an interview with guild officer Xyronic, who had some interesting things to say.

Secret weapon missing – the shared food break

Castle Nathria was also the first raid to take place under the harder issues of the Corona pandemic. One might think that it shouldn’t actually have much impact on a raid group in WoW, but that was not the case. Normally, raid players are together in one place, which brings an additional planning advantage. Xyronic said:

The biggest downside was the strategy aspect. When everyone is at home and there is a food break, everyone gets up from the PC and does their own thing. But when we are together, we talk all the time during breaks. That’s basically 45 minutes of additional strategy discussion. When we then sit back down at the computer, we all have a clearer idea of what exactly we planned and wanted to do. Losing that was unfortunate.

WoW Which Covenant Jaina confused covenants title title 1280x720
The covenants were less decisive than players had feared.

Covenant differences smaller than feared

A major criticism of Blizzard prior to the release was also the differences between the various covenants. Professionals feared that they would essentially have to play every class four times to have a representative for the Kyrians, Necrolords, Night Fae, and Venthyr. Especially during the beta, many players assumed that Blizzard would not manage the balancing. But apparently the differences turned out to be smaller than expected. When asked if players had to change their covenant during progression, Xyronic explained:

Fortunately not. Much of our criticism simply died when they decided to tone down the overpowering abilities. Even if you chose a covenant that wasn’t the best, it was probably a difference of less than 1% for most classes.

While there were a few who changed their abilities independently, that would have been more of a personal preference and not mandated.

More news about WoW: Shadowlands can be found here:

Castle Nathria was damn good – only one boss was not

Generally, many raiders were surprised by how good the raid Castle Nathria was. The balancing of most bosses was – even though there were some nerfs in the first days – quite good. Especially the fight against Shriekwing was almost perfectly tuned and just allowed for a kill before the raid group was taken down by the boss itself. However, the good mood shifted with the generals of the Stone Legion:

After we killed the eighth boss, Shriekwing, everyone was extremely impressed by how well Blizzard had done the tuning for the bosses. (…) Everyone was really satisfied, but when we moved on to the next boss, the generals of the Stone Legion, that disappeared.

Everything was manageable, but it was a very painful experience. The fight was completely random. We didn’t know in what order the mechanics would come, making it very hard to prepare. I would say half of our progress went into mechanics coming in an order we had never seen before.

WoW Nathria rescue of Kael'thas
The bosses were well received by the raiders – only one was completely out of line.

But Xyronic is not only satisfied with Castle Nathria, but with the entire Shadowlands expansion.

I believe this is a fairly common view among all those who are currently playing. Many of us were really concerned about some of the design decisions they made, especially in the Shadowlands beta. But Blizzard did a damn good job of bringing everything together and making this expansion fun. I’m having a lot of fun, even outside of the raid.

Do your opinions and experiences align with those of the professionals from Complexity Limit? Or do you perceive Shadowlands differently?

Information about the next raid can be found at BlizzConline – which takes place in a month.

Fortnite brings controversial Terminator skin – fans rage: “No money for Arnie?”

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 2 minutes

In the Item Shop of Fortnite: Battle Royale, 2 new Hunters have now appeared. Among them is the Terminator as T-800, but players are now asking: “Where’s the variant of Arnold Schwarzenegger?”

What kind of skin is this? Since Friday, January 22nd, 2 new Hunter skins have been available in the Item Shop: T-800 and Sarah Connor. There is also a trailer showing Agent Jonesy bringing the robot from Terminator to the Season 5 map in Fortnite:

The skins are available either individually or as a complete package for 2,800 V-Bucks. Sarah Connor comes with 2 style variants, but the robot does not. The package also includes additional cosmetics related to the characters.

This is not the first time that hunters from other universes have been brought into the Fortnite world by Agent Jonesy:

Where is the style variant for the Terminator?

What does this mean? Although T-800 is part of the science fiction film Terminator, some likely think first of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger as the main character and Terminator. Therefore, some players seem surprised why there is no “Arnie” variant for the skin.

Under the trailer post on Twitter and reddit, they are asking why there is no style variant for it. They likely would have liked to have one to use in-game.

Some fans probably first think of Arnold Schwarzenegger when they hear Terminator.

“No money for Arnie?”

What do players say about the missing style variant? Some players seem sad that Arnold was not included as a variant for T-800, while others think they know why Epic couldn’t include the “Terminator.” They say on Twitter and reddit:

  • “We want Arnold Schwarzenegger in Fortnite!”
  • “Where’s Arnold? The black jacket and black sunglasses! That’s pretty disappointing.”
  • “It’s a shame there is no style variant of Arnold Schwarzenegger.”
  • “Maybe it was too expensive for Epic to have his face (Arnold’s) in the game.”
  • “An Arnie variant would have been cool, but I guess Epic couldn’t get the rights for it.”
  • “I guess getting Arnold in the game would be totally over their [Epic’s] budget.”

Some fans probably believe that Epic couldn’t afford to bring in the Arnie Terminator or that they did not obtain the rights for it. However, these are just player speculations and may not actually be the case.

Data miners found leaks pointing to the next hunter in Fortnite. However, the leaks and hints rather pointed to another character from the game Tomb Raider. But now it could be that the leaks were referring to the T-800. Will Lara Croft not appear now or at a later time? We will likely have to wait and see.

Outriders: 9 important things you might not know about the RPG shooter

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 6 minutes

The RPG Shooter Outriders aims to impress players with cooperative gameplay and loot. MeinMMO presents 9 important things you might not know about the game.

What is Outriders, anyway? Outriders is an upcoming new RPG shooter set in a sci-fi environment developed by People Can Fly. The gameplay shown so far resembles a mix of Diablo and Anthem. Players can slay monsters and collect loot either solo or in co-op with friends.

Gameplay takes place in closed rounds; there is no open world. The focus is on PvE. Players can choose from four classes, which are:

Skills, classes, and equipment are designed to offer many different combinations, allowing you to slash through the campaign and endgame content.

The Technomancer is the supporter in Outriders.

What we know about the release: After a delay, Outriders is set to launch on April 1, 2021, for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PS4, PS5, and Google Stadia. A demo is expected to be released on February 25.

What’s included in the demo? The demo includes the first hours of the story where you can try out the game, both solo and with friends. All four classes will be playable. Progress should even carry over to the full game.

However, aside from the demo, there are some other noteworthy things about the game that not every interested player might be aware of. To give you a better idea of Outriders, we have summarized them here for you:

1. Outriders is not a live service game

What does that mean? At first glance, Outriders resembles well-known live service games like Destiny, The Division, or Anthem, which also revolve around collecting gear and focusing on shooter elements.

However, Outriders aims to be released as a “finished” game and wants to offer the full scope at launch. According to the developers, there will be a campaign with up to 40 hours of gameplay waiting for you, plus endgame content on top.

What we know about the endgame: After the campaign, players will undertake what are called Expeditions. These resemble the Greater Rifts from Diablo 3 in many ways. In various difficulty levels (up to 15 “World Tiers”) you must battle through missions as quickly as possible to obtain better gear.

Whether there will be additional endgame content beyond this is still unknown.

Will there be DLCs in the future? Currently, there are no known plans for this.

Outriders Expeditions Team Up Titel
Expeditions are supposed to challenge players in the endgame with high difficulty levels.

2. Outriders has no microtransactions 

Here’s the situation regarding purchasable content: Since Outriders is not a live service game, there will also be no microtransactions in the form of an in-game shop or purchasable cosmetic content. This has been confirmed by developer People Can Fly in a Q&A video (via Gamespot.com)

Also, season passes and other similar features are not expected to be included in the game.

3. Outriders offers no PvP

While The Division and Destiny offer extensive PvP modes, Outriders focuses solely on PvE. You cannot compete against other players or measure yourself against them in combat. 

The focus is on the story, cooperative gameplay, and loot collection, as seen in Diablo or Anthem. 

4. Outriders lets you craft

This is how the crafting system works: In Outriders, even outdated equipment has a use. For example, if you have an old shotgun with a modification, you can disassemble the weapon and place the modification on another weapon. This way, the effect can continue to be used.

Keep in mind that you can only obtain mods from weapons of a certain rarity (blue) by disassembling them. The same applies to armor pieces.

You can disassemble all inventory items and utilize the resources.

With this system, you can constantly adapt and change your gear, provided that you collect the necessary resources in the game world. 

These resources can also be used to upgrade the loot you find. In theory, you can upgrade a standard weapon to the epic tier.

5. Modifications influence your playstyle

Modifications have a significant impact on how you create your builds in Outriders. While weapon mods primarily change active combat (damage type, ammunition type), armor modifications (skill mods) have a more passive influence on your build.

This is how weapon mods work: Modifications for weapons can provide a wide variety of bonuses. For example, you might find a light machine gun whose ammo explodes when you kill an enemy. There are many different variants that can also enable electricity damage or even influence gravity.

Overall, there are three “mod tiers,” meaning levels for modifications.

  • Tier 1 is obtained from rare (blue) weapons,
  • Tier 2 from epic (purple) weapons 
  • and Tier 3 can only be found on legendary (gold) equipment.

The higher the mod tier, the stronger the bonuses and attributes.

This is how skill mods work: These armor modifications are obtained the same way as weapon mods, by disassembling loot starting from the rare tier. These are also divided into 3 tiers. However, the effects are more geared toward passive bonuses and talents. This way, you can sometimes obtain bonuses from other classes that you are not even playing at the time.

The video by LaserBolt shows in detail how it all works:

6. Legendary loot is not limited to one slot

Here’s how it’s known from similar games: Anyone who has played The Division or Destiny will be familiar with exotic equipment. These are typically the strongest gear pieces you can find. In addition, “Exotics” usually have very specific attributes and a unique appearance.

In the mentioned games, you can wear only one exotic armor piece and one exotic weapon to prevent players from becoming too strong.

Here’s how it is in Outriders: A developer from People Can Fly has (via reddit) confirmed that Outriders also offers such equipment. Here, however, it is called “Legendary Loot”, meaning legendary equipment. This provides unique attributes and visually distinguishes itself from other gear. However, you can equip this legendary gear in any available equipment slot.

There are no limitations for players, and you can freely combine the strongest weapons and armors.

This legendary LMG is called Grim Marrow.

7. You can reset your skills and talents anytime

What does that mean? Each character class has a talent tree with active and passive skills, as is common in many other RPGs. In Outriders, you can reset and reselect your chosen talents at any time, even while on missions or even in the middle of a fight.

This allows you to try out new variants and interesting combinations if you find yourself stuck at a certain point.

8. Outriders will offer extensive PC features

If you’re worried about the support of the PC version, you can relax. On January 14, developer People Can Fly released a video about the PC features. It emphasizes that they place great importance on this version.

Some examples of the PC features:

  • A customizable UI (User Interface)
  • Ultra-wide screen support
  • Customizable field of view (FOV)
  • Dynamic resolution scaling
  • NVIDIA DLSS support
  • NVIDIA Ansel support
  • Razer Chroma-RGB support

9. Crossplay makes platform choice irrelevant

What does crossplay mean? Crossplay allows for online play across different platforms.

On which platforms can you play Outriders together? Crossplay is available between all platforms where Outriders is released. These include PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PS4, PS5, and Google Stadia. There will also be crossplay between the Steam version and the Epic Games Store version on PC.

What about cross-save? The crossplay feature unfortunately does not mean that you can transfer your save game to any platform. As of now, there will be no cross-save feature. This means: If you start on PlayStation 5, you cannot simply continue on PC with the same save game.

Did you already know all these things about Outriders? What do you think of the game so far? Will you take a look at the demo or are you perhaps already determined to get it right at release?

Destiny 2 will finally give you more opportunities to show off

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, you can make your hard-earned titles even rarer starting from Season 13 and show everyone who the hardcore Guardian is. The new system strongly resembles the popular Prestige from Call of Duty.

Here’s how to show off soon: In Destiny 2, you should be able to gild your hard-earned titles starting from Season 13. Then you can “gild” the title (translated roughly means to enhance or beautify) and virtually earn it again. Why all this? Well, to show off and impress other Guardians.

MeinMMO explains the new system and clarifies why Bungie seems to have borrowed this idea from Call of Duty. Here we briefly present the possibilities for showing off in both shooters:

  • How titles work in Destiny 2: Titles appear visible next to the player’s name and indicate that this Guardian has mastered an activity. Such name additions are associated with a lot of grind and hard challenges. Only about 1% of all Guardians wear some rare titles (via Warmind.io). There are titles for raids, in PvP, or for the current season. Accordingly, Guardians walk around proudly with them.
  • What’s the deal with Prestige in CoD? Particularly dedicated soldiers enter Prestige after reaching max level in the shooter series. They reset their rank and start all over again. With each subsequent reset, they enter a higher Prestige tier, which is then showcased with impressive emblems. In Cold War this occurs seasonally and can go up to 25 times.
Our Warlock has become a Smith

In Destiny 2, it is very satisfying to check off all required Triumphs for a title and then finally equip your rare title. To take it a step further, the new gilded title system will come into play starting from February 9, 2021 (the beginning of Season 13).

Gilded titles are meant to create more incentives for hardcore Guardians

Once you have earned a title, you unlock additional, extra difficult challenges associated with that title. If you also fulfill those, the title becomes gilded.

  • Then the color of the title above your head changes
  • A new symbol shows everyone that you don’t stop at the normal title
  • You adorn the title seal with a golden frame
  • A counter shows how many times you have gilded a title
  • You can gild a title once per season (the tasks vary depending on seasonal events)

At the end of a season, the title is then reset.

If another player sees such a gilded title, it’s immediately clear that you are a dedicated hardcore Guardian who plays Destiny 2 anything but casually. For a casual gamer, a normal title might already be a significant hurdle (whether such a Guardian knows the difference between a title and a gilded title is another question).

These are the titles that start in Season 13:

  • Conqueror (Nightfall: Fire Trial)
  • Unbroken (Crucible)
  • Dredgen (Gambit)
  • Flawless (Trials of Osiris)
Bungie previews the Flawless title in its gilded version

More about Season 13 of Destiny 2 on MeinMMO:

This is the title problem in core activities

Once you have earned the Conqueror title, you show everyone that you have survived even the toughest fire trials. Wearing the Flawless title proudly, everyone knows that it’s better not to cross paths with you in the Trials.

These titles are associated with a lot of work. However, once obtained, many Guardians lack incentives to spend more time in the activities (aside from the loot). Or they wish for their time to be recognized further. With the gilded system, Guardians should have a goal to strive for even after obtaining the original title and be rewarded each season with a “better” title in their favorite activity.

Especially for Gambit fans, this could elevate the otherwise seen as uncool Dredgen title.

Bungie concludes its preview of the new title system by stating that this is the result of “constructive feedback from players of all kinds from the Destiny community.” They then ask for your opinions on it.

Since the big Beyond update in Pokémon GO, you can earn XL candies after reaching Level 40 with your trainer. The candies are available through various in-game actions such as catching Pokémon, raids, or feeding Pokémon that defend gyms.

A trainer now shows how low the chance is to receive XL candies from feeding gym Pokémon.

10,000 berries and only 5 XL candies?

This is how low the chance is: On reddit, trainer Sluft_ shows his “yield” of XL candies. He states, “I fed 10,000 berries and received a total of 5 XL candies.”

This corresponds to a chance of 0.05% to receive an XL candy by feeding a gym defender. So, about one candy for every 2,000 feedings.

He explains that he fed Level 40 Pokémon, but also smaller ones with lower levels. He fed many of them from a distance and not directly near the gym.

So, anyone hoping to receive XL candies by feeding Pokémon that defend gyms should keep their expectations low. One needs quite a bit of luck to obtain this type of candy.

In our overview of XL candies in Pokémon GO, you will find more methods to obtain the sought-after resource.

What the players say about it: The analysis is being discussed by many trainers on reddit.

  • Player j1mb0 writes: “Wow, thanks for this. So minimal that it is basically insignificant.”
  • sobrique comments: “This is quality research, but also frustrating.”
  • PaulCH425 adds: “Basically, it should be treated like a casual bonus for feeding Pokémon for regular candies, gym defense, or stardust gains.”

What do you think about this? Do you feel there should be more XL candies for feeding gym defenders, or is it just a small bonus that you simply shouldn’t rely on? Let us know your opinion here in the comments at MeinMMO.

Trainers are currently searching for Minun and Plusle for the Hoenn event. If you haven’t found them yet, make sure to play on Sunday. An event brings you the rare monsters in Pokémon GO.

How powerful does your hardware need to be for Rust to run perfectly?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 5 minutes

The survival game Rust is one of the most successful MMOs on Steam. Currently, it is also a constant favorite on Twitch. But what hardware do you need to play this survival hit? MeinMMO gives you tips on the best hardware and the Rust graphics settings.

What is it about? Rust is currently extremely popular and is among the most played games on Steam in December 2020. Many are wondering what hardware they need to play the game smoothly. MeinMMO explains in this article what you need to know about hardware and performance in Rust. This includes:

  • the system requirements for Rust.
  • what you need for the absolute minimum and which graphics cards are recommended.
  • Additionally, we will explain how to optimally set your game for PvP.

[toc]

When will Rust come out for PS4 and Xbox? If you prefer to play on your home console, you can find more information here about when the survival hit Rust for Xbox and Playstation could be released.

Rust System Requirements 2020/2021

Shooters like Rust benefit primarily from high FPS numbers. The more FPS you have, the smoother the game runs. Currently, the developer states the following requirements for Rust (as of January 21, 2021):

MinimumRecommended
ProcessorIntel Core i7-3770 / AMD FX-9590 Intel Core i7-4790K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Graphics CardGTX 670 2GB / AMD R9 280GTX 980 / AMD R9 Fury
RAM10 GB RAM 16 GB RAM

You can also check the requirements on the official Steam page. In the following sections, we will explain:

  • what you need for the minimum requirements
  • what you need for the best graphics or high FPS

Finally, we will present you with recommended graphics settings for PvP in Rust.

Rust: What you need for minimum

Compared to the tactical shooter Valorant, the performance of an integrated graphics chip like that of the Ryzen 3 3200G is not sufficient if you want to play at Full HD with reasonable frame rates.

This is what the low-end range looks like: If you only want to achieve the bare minimum, you can look in AMD and Nvidia’s low-end range. Typically, you won’t pay more than 100 euros for the GPU.

In the low-end range, you will find the GeForce GT 1030 and the Radeon RX 550. Both are entry-level graphics cards priced under 100 euros. For the absolute minimum, both graphics cards are more than sufficient, but at significantly higher settings, both quickly become a bottleneck.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Another tip: You definitely need 16 GB of RAM. Rust recommends a minimum of 10 GB. However, you should definitely equip a gaming system with 16 GB.

The RX 550 from PowerColor is a low-end graphics card.

Rust System Requirements: Recommended for more graphics and higher FPS

If you are looking for a bit more power and want to play at 60 FPS or more at Full HD, you need a faster graphics card.

This is what the mid-range looks like: In the mid-range, there are powerful representatives that offer enough performance for Full HD and high details. Usually, the prices are not above 200 euros.

In the mid-range, both the Geforce GTX 1660/1650 and RX 5500 XT are two faster graphics cards. With these, you can easily play on high settings, but you won’t reach 144 FPS at Full HD. The recommended retail price for both cards is about 200 euros.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Somewhat outdated, but still powerful enough, are both the GeForce GTX 1050 and the RX 570. However, both cards are no longer officially produced. Better and more efficient are the Geforce GTX 1660/1650 and the RX 5500 XT.

If you’re interested in Rust, you might also find these articles on MeinMMO interesting:

Rust in WQHD and with 144 FPS

If you want to play in WQHD or even at 144 FPS, you need the corresponding performance that your graphics card must provide. You should expect to pay around 300 to 400 euros. Currently (as of January 21, 2021), many mid-range graphics cards are hard to find at reasonable prices.

In the WQHD range, you will find the RTX 2070 Super and the RX 5700 XT. Currently (as of January 21, 2021), these graphics cards are rarely available. The prices are generally around 300 euros.

Radeon RX 5700 XT Strix OC
The RX 5700 (XT) is currently completely sold out or only available at excessively high prices over 500 euros.

What you should keep in mind: At the beginning of February 2021, there will be another interesting graphics card in the mid-range for around 300 euros with the RTX 3060. It is also not unlikely that competitor AMD will announce a new graphics card in 2021 with the RX 6700 (XT). At the end of 2020, AMD already presented the new Ryzen 5000 processors.

Rust PvP
Especially in PvP, graphics settings play an important role.

Rust: Graphics Settings PvP – this is how to set them best

Nowadays, there are various guides, such as on Steam from user Ubz, that provide tips for the best graphics settings.

What are the settings useful for? The settings are primarily aimed at players looking for optimal settings for PvP.

We will explain which points in the graphics settings are important and which you can forgo if you want to sacrifice performance for more FPS.

Graphics Quality:

  • Graphics Quality: 1
  • Shadow Quality: 1
  • Damage Cascades: no cascades
  • Maximum Shadow Lights: 0
  • Water Quality: 0
  • Water Reflection: 0
  • Shader Level: 100
  • View Distance: Maximum
  • Shadow Distance: 100
  • Anisotropic Filtering: 1
  • Parallax Mapping: 0
  • Grass Displacement: enabled (on)

By lowering the water quality, you can spot opponents more easily in the water. You should also turn off reflections. Furthermore, you should set the view distance to maximum if you like to play as a sniper or are camping on rooftops and want to eliminate enemies from a distance.

Grid Quality:

  • Particle Quality: 0
  • Object Quality: 25 – 50
  • Tree Quality: 25
  • Terrain Quality: 25 – 40
  • Grass Quality: 30 – 50
  • Decor Quality: 0

Other Settings:

  • Anti-Aliasing: Off
  • Motion Blur: Off
  • Depth of Field: Off
  • Ambient Occlusion: Off
  • High Quality Bloom: Off

LoL Wild Rift finally brings new champion Teemo – And everyone hates him right away

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

On January 5, LoL Wild Rift announced 5 new champions. Almost 16 days later, the last of them, Teemo, was released. And he is instantly hated. Either he dominates the game or completely fails.

What is going on? With Patch 2.0, 5 new Yordle champions were announced, all of whom are now in the game. One of them is Teemo, who has a large fan base in the PC version of League of Legends.

Accordingly, many players tried out the new champion right away. And for many, it did not go well. In the Wild Rift subreddit, there are countless threads where Teemo players with 0 kills and many deaths were the reason why their team lost.

This especially frustrated teammates in ranked matches. Instead of getting familiar with the new champ and trying him out in normal or bot matches, some dove straight into ranked on day 1. And it did not end well.

Wild Rift Teemo Ranked
The reddit user iPICKmy8UTT complained about Teemo players in ranked.

On the other hand, there are also players who master Teemo well and dominate with him. There are screenshots of players with 12, 16, and even 19 kills and hardly any deaths (via reddit).

This, in turn, leads to frustration among enemies who have not yet learned how to play against this champion.

But how strong is Teemo really?

Rework for Wild Rift makes Teemo weaker

How does Teemo work in Wild Rift? For the mobile version, the champion has been significantly reworked:

  • His passive no longer makes him invisible when he stands still. Instead, it ensures that all attacks poison the target and deal bonus damage over time.
  • Instead of passive and active movement speed, Teemo now gets a dodge roll from the ability “Move Quick” and then movement speed for a short duration.
  • Guerilla Warfare, the former passive, is now an active ability. It briefly cloaks Teemo and grants additional attack speed after being revealed.
  • The Blinding Dart and the mushrooms remain roughly the same.

Link to the YouTube content

This is how strong Teemo is in Wild Rift: On reddit, user SecualHarassadar published an analysis of Teemo’s abilities. He concludes that he was weakened in many respects compared to the PC version:

  • His Toxic Shot deals about 18% less ability damage than on PC.
  • The Blinding Dart deals less damage and blinds for a shorter duration.
  • The mushrooms deal significantly less damage, making them almost useless.

SecualHarassadar is not alone in his opinion about Teemo. In several threads, the rework is criticized, and the champion is portrayed as too weak. User Byroco writes:

He is extremely weak, as if the developers were too afraid after all the “Satan is coming to us” hype. Thus, he is completely useless, his mushrooms only serve as wards.

He gets killed all the time, provides no real advantages in team fights and his damage is low. Riot, please buff him!

Guides to Wild Rift on MeinMMO:

What does this mean for Teemo? In the coming days and weeks, many players will continue to try Teemo, and most will probably end up helping the enemy rather than their own team.

This currently makes him the most hated champion in Wild Rift.

How strong Teemo really is and whether Riot will buff him remains to be seen in the coming days. Currently, we have not integrated him into our tier list yet. However, the other 4 new Yordle champions are already in:

Resident Evil comes to The Division 2: Soon you will be able to walk around like STARS

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

After a leak, it is now official: The Division 2 announced a crossover event with Resident Evil for February. Players will be able to earn cool cosmetics inspired by the horror classic.

The mystery surrounding the event “Codename: Nightmare” has been revealed. Initially planned as a special event with a spooky atmosphere and a unique gameplay experience, Codename: Nightmare has been transformed into a clothing event. The developers at Massive announced this some time ago. It is set to be a clothing event like none before in The Division 2. That was all that was known until now. However, a new announcement has shed light on the situation.

This is what has been newly announced: Yesterday, Xbox France accidentally leaked this event, where a trailer for it briefly went live – apparently too early. But shortly after, there was certainty.

As Capcom shortly thereafter stated during its stream for Resident Evil Village, there will indeed be a crossover event with The Division 2 in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the horror cult series. The trailer was also officially released afterwards.

This is the same event that is listed in the in-game season overview and in the official roadmap for Season 4 as “Operation: Nightmare”.

When exactly will the crossover event take place? Operation: Nightmare will begin on February 2 as part of the currently running Season 4. The clothing event will then run for 2 weeks until February 15, 2021.

By the way, you can find out what else is coming to The Division 2 in the near future: What else will happen in 2021 at The Division 2? Facts, rumors, theories

What to expect in Operation Nightmare: In this new clothing event, the Division and the S.T.A.R.S., a special police unit from Raccoon City from Resident Evil, will face off – at least visually. Because it will likely remain a purely clothing event – so don’t expect new modes or special gameplay.

As part of this birthday event, you can earn cosmetic outfits of iconic characters from the original Resident Evil trilogy in The Division 2 – as well as weapon skins and other unspecified rewards inspired by the Resident Evil series.

For logging in during the event period, there is already a “Raccoon Police Department” outfit of Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 2.

The trailer also shows several other event rewards – including the classic outfit of the cult character Jill Valentine and Hunk from an elite unit of the Umbrella Corporation. Claire’s PS1 outfit from Resident Evil 3 also seems to be among the rewards.

Here you can watch the trailer:

This is what the players say: The crossover event is well received by players in the first reactions. Many are looking forward to the new outfits and believe that Resident Evil and zombies fit perfectly with The Division 2.

However, many players regret that Operation: Nightmare has been downgraded to a pure clothing event. Originally, it was supposed to offer a unique gameplay experience and take place in a repurposed Kenly College with a spooky atmosphere. With Resident Evil in the background, it likely would have revolved around zombies – something many players would have loved to experience.

But that seems to be the price that The Division 2 has to pay for the new Star Wars game, so the general sentiment goes. Because, as recently announced, the first new Star Wars game without EA will actually be made by Massive, the creators of The Division 2. There may not have been time or resources left for the originally planned format for Codename: Nightmare, or so the suspicion goes.

What do you think of this crossover event? Are you in?

Players return Cyberpunk 2077, receive $250, can still continue playing

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Why are players requesting refunds? When Cyberpunk 2077 was released on December 10, it quickly became clear that it was plagued by numerous bugs and technical issues. Especially the versions for PS4 and Xbox One still do not run smoothly even today, which is why buyers demanded refunds. Sony even removed the PS4 version of Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store. The refunds have now been initiated.

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.

Cyberpunk Collectors Edition contents new attempt
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.

Steve, buyer of Cyberpunk 2077

More about Cyberpunk 2077 on MeinMMO:

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

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:

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.

More about FIFA 21 on MeinMMO:

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.

It is clear: The chances of getting a TOTY from packs are extremely low. The probability of pulling strong cards from packs is already poor, and for a TOTY you need even more luck. This has also been shown in the last years in FIFA.

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.

After developer mishap, Dead by Daylight listens to its players

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

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:

Link to the Twitter content

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.

Dead by Daylight Halloween Iridescent Shards Blight title 1280x720
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”.

Temtem: Earn Money Quickly – 3 Tips on How to Farm Pansun

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 5 minutes

In the Pokémon MMO Temtem, your currency Pansun plays a very important role. That is why we tell you 3 tips to quickly get gold in Temtem in 2021.

What do you need money for in Temtem? Money plays an important role in Temtem. You need it for:

  • Breeding new Temtems
  • New items like potions or Tem cards
  • 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
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.
Tasa Desert Temtem

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)

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.

3. Earn Pansun through side quests

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.

Fallout 76: Role players banned again on Facebook, receive apology

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

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.

Why was the group banned back then? Free States Militia is a role-playing group centered around the game Fallout 76. In October 2020, the group was removed from Facebook without explanation. However, after some complaints, the bans were lifted.

Back then, Facebook stated:

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.

https://twitter.com/Free_StatesMil/status/1348855298350592000

“The Facebook page is 100% related to Fallout”

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.

300 years America Vaul Tec Fallout 76
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.

If someone wants to start role-playing, they can do so in many games. However, we have compiled 7 MMOs that are best suited for this purpose.

Destiny 2 returns a loot mechanic in Season 13 that many of you liked

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

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.

Here you will find detailed information: Focus Umbral Engrams in Destiny 2 – Determine your loot yourself

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 new Reconstructor

More about Destiny 2 on MeinMMO:

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.

By the way: Rewards that you receive from Wrathborn Hunts with your Kryptolith lure will not be included in the scope of the Reconstructor, as you can still earn them in Season 13 through the respective activity.

Umbral Engrams

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.

TFT: The 3 Best Champion Comps to Start Set 4.5

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 5 minutes

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
TFT Set 4.5 Diana

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 – Infinity Blade, Ruunan’s Hurricane, Titan’s Resolve
  • Akali – Zeke’s Herald, Iron Solari Amulet
  • Additional DMG items on Talon
Diana lol
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)
TFT Set 4.5 Zed Carry
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.

  • Zed – Rapid Firecannon, Ruunan’s Hurricane, Mercury
  • Akali with 1-2 Zeke’s Heralds
  • Other useful items are tank items on Aatrox or Shen and Iron Solari Amulet in the backline.
Tft lol Zed header
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
TFT Set 4.5 Guardians

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
LoL Rakan Xayah Title
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
LoL-Samira
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:

Players grumble, but the stock market loves Activision Blizzard: worth $73 billion

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

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.

Activision Blizzard stock Wall Street Journal

There are many reasons for the steady growth. In the third-quarter report of Activision Blizzard 2020, the company had some successes to report:

  • 10 million players play Overwatch every month
  • Diablo Immortal is reportedly doing very well
  • over 1.2 billion US dollars came in through microtransactions (via PCGamer)
  • Shadowlands had more pre-sales than any other WoW expansion before

The new WoW expansion has even become the fastest-selling PC game of all time. Still, many players are currently not necessarily happy with the company.

Activision is doing well – Despite criticism

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.

Additionally, Blizzard laid off over 800 employees in 2019, which caused a lot of negative sentiment, even though the company was doing very well at that time. There were also other significant points of criticism, such as:

von Cortyn

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.

Call of Duty Warzone: Problems with Cold War
Warzone and Cold War are currently at odds.

What is Activision Blizzard doing now? The revenues are apparently flowing into development. In May 2020, Activision Blizzard was looking for 2000 new employees. One of the largest current projects is presumably Diablo Immortal, which has already impressed with its alpha, as well as its “big brother” Diablo 4.

Hearthstone also just received a new mini-set along with new monetization on January 21. The card game has been considered a huge success since its release.

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 introduces new gaming mouse, ideal for MMO players

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

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:

SensorRazer 5G, optical sensor
ResolutionUp to 18,000 DPI   
Switches2nd generation Razer Optical mouse switches
Buttons16 programmable buttons
DesignBlack mouse with adjustable RGB lighting (16.8 million colors, Razer Chroma RGB)
ConnectivityWired via USB
FeetPTFE plastic feet
CableRazer Speedflex cable
Weight85 grams
Price (RRP)€89.99
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.
