Phantasy Star Online 2 becomes more of an MMORPG with New Genesis

Andreas Bertits 21. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis will release in 2021 on PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. New information promises more MMORPG elements than its predecessor.

What’s new in PSO: New Genesis? Essentially, New Genesis could be called a sequel, but it’s not named Phantasy Star Online 3. There’s a lot that’s new, so you can expect basically a different and new game:

It has a new engine that makes Phantasy Star Online 2 (2012 release in Japan) look modern and really good
You are in an open world rather than small areas
You encounter more players in the world
The class system is revised
There are new abilities
The story takes place 1,000 years in the future
Exploration is more in the foreground

The new cinematic trailer gives you an insight into PSO 2: New Genesis.

With Open World to MMORPG

What exactly does the open world offer? The developers refer to the open world of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis as “Open Field.” It is a very large, open zone with a lot to discover.

World events take place where you need the help of other players
You complete quests in the Open Field
You can find cocoons that lead you to instances just for you and your group
There is a big city, Central City, that functions as a hub. There you can find 100 players per server.
In Central City you access quests, team up with other players, trade, and engage in crafting.
You can swim to reach certain places in the Open Field.
There are teleporters, the Ryuker Devices, which allow you to shorten routes.

This is what the gameplay looks like in the open world of PSO 2: New Genesis.

So is Phantasy Star Online 2 with New Genesis an MMORPG? Until now, you have been in smaller areas in PSO 2 and can explore these in the group you have assembled in the hub. However, you do not encounter other players in the zones. There aren’t really any world events where you need the help of other players.

With the open world, foreign players, more exploration, world events, and teleporters, Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is now much closer to being an MMORPG. Whether it will truly become an MMO and play like one remains to be seen.

What else is interesting? PSO 2: New Genesis allows you to jump back and forth between the “old” Phantasy Star Online 2 and the new version. Therefore, it is also possible to transfer your character from PSO 2 – at least partially.

The graphics of the “old” PSO 2 will be improved to prevent any visual break during the transition.

When does PSO 2: New Genesis start? A closed beta is planned for late January or early February in Japan. The release of the online role-playing game is supposed to occur globally sometime later in 2021 on PC and Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X/S.

Do you want to play a new MMORPG now? These 4 have already been released in 2020.

DrDisrespect and xQc fight for the soul of Twitch

Schuhmann 21. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

The two streamers DrDisrespect (38) and xQc (25) are jokingly in a dispute about the idea of what gaming and entertainment really are in 2020. xQc is having great success on Twitch with Bloons TD 6, a tower defense game for PC and mobile. This does not sit well with the gaming purist DrDisrespect at all. However, xQc accuses the older streamer of being out of touch with the times.

These are the two opponents: The streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel is 25 years old and something like “the new generation of Twitch.”

xQc is the rising star on the streaming platform. In 2018, he played a minor role on Twitch (9600 viewers on average), became bigger in 2019 (17,800 viewers), and is the most successful streamer on the platform in 2020 (39,000 viewers).

The former Overwatch pro started with shooters, but now his channel offers a wild mix of games.

xQc jumps from reaction videos to any games. He plays practically everything and has no scruples. Nothing is too niche or too weird for him: He plays “The Game of Life,” some “Four in a Row”-variants with virtual school friends (and gets banned for it) or a tower defense mobile game. What he plays doesn’t really matter.

More on the topic

Dr Disrespect cannot cope with the Twitch ban, has real problems

von Schuhmann

The 13 years older Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm had his breakthrough on Twitch in 2017 with PUBG and was one of the most successful and influential streamers on the platform until his ban in 2020.

The former “Call of Duty” designer appears as a macho character and is considered a gifted entertainer who provides his audience with elaborately produced videos and sets. He is also a strong shooter player, though not as outstanding world-class as he often portrays himself.

Even though he has brought many new impulses to Twitch in the field of entertainment in recent years, DrDisrespect is a purist when it comes to gaming like many gamers of his generation. He takes pride in his huge and expensive PC setup and primarily plays the big AAA shooters like Call of Duty: Warzone. For weeks, he plays the same games and hardly varies. He outright rejects mobile gaming, stating it is not real gaming.

“xQc, are you kidding me?”

This is the conflict now: xQc simply plays everything on Twitch. He caught “Bloons TD 6” and showcased the colorful tower defense game in a stream, where he peaked at over 57,000 viewers.

DrDisrespect apparently couldn’t handle this at all. In a Twitter video, he stares in disbelief at the camera while xQc shows Bloons in the background: “xQc, you have 60,000 people watching you play Bloons Tenacious Distraction Six – or whatever it’s called. Are you kidding me?”

https://twitter.com/drdisrespect/status/1340173464162848768

xQc laughed off this criticism in his stream and gratefully picked up the gauntlet: This “boomer” needs to rethink his definition of entertainment. The term “boomer” refers to older people who are no longer in touch with the times.

xQc then imitates DrDisrespect, portraying him as he clumsily danced around and boasted about his arena. xQc explains: Entertainment is changing. “The boomer DrDisrespect” needs to adapt to the times.

xQc vs. DrDisrespect: 13 years age difference is noticeable

This is what’s behind it: Even though the conflict is surely meant in jest, two concepts are opposing each other here. xQc and DrDisrespect are two of the exceptional streamers on Twitch over the past five years.

There are some similarities:

Both are primarily entertainers who have recognized that viewers want more than just watching one guy or girl play a game
Both streamers are characterized by their flamboyant personalities and stand out strongly from the crowd. DrDisrespect has created his own character. xQc is his own brand with his hyperactive way of speaking and moving
Both streamers rely on interaction with the chat and engage their viewers
Both streamers polarize strongly; they have their fans, but also many who can’t relate to them – both leave few indifferent
Both streamers are independently successful regardless of games. They do not have “the one game” like Tfue or Ninja with Fortnite that makes them successful, but are variety streamers
Both show that behind the character, there is a person who, with all the commotion that the character causes, has his problems

But there are some differences:

xQc plays everything and constantly wants to give the audience new stimuli – DrDisrespect focuses on few, high-quality games. He is committed to the shooter genre. He doesn’t understand how someone on Twitch can play something like “WoW Classic”
DrDisrespect opts for a classic performance; some segments of his show are prepared and presented to the audience – xQc improvises more and is a bundle of energy that continuously engages with the chat
Whereas in DrDisrespect’s case, the game and his performance in it always play an important role, it seems that for xQc, gaming itself recedes into the background and merely serves as a basis to keep the show running

Conflict shows the difference between generations

The two streamers xQc (25) and DrDisrespect (38) represent two generations of gamers in their dispute. For the older generation, something like “mobile gaming” or casual gaming is something that has little or nothing to do with their hobby. For someone like xQc or younger players who grew up with smartphones, these boundaries are increasingly blurring.

DrDisrespect’s ban on Twitch in 2020 was one of the major topics on the platform. Even in the autumn, the ban still had repercussions. Because the seemingly indestructible streamer was privately hit hard by the ban, as he explained:

DrDisrespect struggles with the Twitch ban, is having real problems

Alpha of Diablo Immortal is running – Here’s how to register

Andreas Bertits 21. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A technical alpha of the mobile hack ‘n slay Diablo Immortal has started in Australia. But when will we be able to play?

Who is the alpha of Diablo Immortal for? Blizzard initially wanted to start the test of the free-to-play action RPG in just one region and chose Australia.

A small number of players who pre-registered in Australia received the Diablo Immortal alpha APK of the game for download and can now test the action RPG.

How many players were selected? According to Blizzard, several thousand players are to be selected. An exact number has not been mentioned.

Blizzard presents the technical alpha of Diablo Immortal in the video.

We still have to wait for Diablo Immortal

Can people outside of Australia participate as well? Some representatives of the gaming press and streamers have received access from Blizzard. For example, our colleagues from GameStar were able to play Diablo Immortal. You can read the preview report on the GameStar website.

How can you register in this country? You can pre-register in the Google Play Store. There, simply click on the “Pre-register” button from your smartphone. Once a test starts or the release of the action RPG takes place, you will be informed.

It is currently not possible via the Apple App Store.

When you can play is still undecided. Blizzard has not yet provided any dates for further tests or the launch of the game.

How long will the test last? It is planned to keep the testers in the game for several weeks to gather enough feedback. The main focus is on the stability of the servers and the performance of the hack and slay.

Which smartphones are supported? Blizzard has announced recently raised minimum requirements for mobiles:

Android minimum requirements
- CPU – Snapdragon 710 / Hisilicon Kirin 810 and better
- GPU – Adreno 616 / ARM Mali-G52 and better
- RAM – 2GB RAM and better
- Version: Android OS 5.0 (Lollipop) and above
Apple minimum requirements
- iPhone 8 and better
  - Version: iOS 12 and above

If your smartphone does not meet the requirements, you will see an error message and cannot participate. So pay attention to the system requirements if you plan to play Diablo Immortal as soon as it becomes available.

Diablo Immortal borrows some features from World of Warcraft and plays like an MMO.

Twitch streamer is totally right about Cyberpunk 2077 but does not benefit from it

Schuhmann 21. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

The Twitch streamer Jaryd “summit1g” Lazard decided not to play Cyberpunk 2077 at release because he accurately anticipated that there would still be many bugs in the game. However, he doesn’t gain much from this assessment, as other streamers benefit greatly from the hype surrounding the polarizing game. But the hype was short-lived.

This was summit1g’s assessment of Cyberpunk 2077: The 33-year-old American summit1g is a longtime streamer on Twitch. Together with xQc, he is the hard worker among the top streamers, who stream more frequently and for longer than their colleagues. The streamer was repeatedly asked whether he would also play Cyberpunk 2077.

But summit1g waved it off. He said:

I think I’ll skip it at release and play it another time. From my experience: If you give a game a little time, a few months to release updates, you’ll play a better version later.
summit1g

summit1g maintained that assessment at release, when Cyberpunk generated so much hype. He said he had seen the game played by shroud and xQc, but he stuck to his decision not to play it.

Those who want to see it should watch other “motherfuckers” play Cyberpunk 2077.

More on the topic

YouTuber plays Cyberpunk 2077, skips review at launch – as a protest

von Schuhmann

As we know today, summit1g had a good instinct: After a lot of hype at release and great review ratings, reality set in quickly. Cyberpunk 2077 seemed unfinished and suffered from many bugs. Sony even removed the game from the PS Store.

summit1g was playing mainly the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov in the last days. On average, about 20,000 people watched him, which corresponds roughly to his usual level.

These are the big winners of Cyberpunk 2077 on Twitch

Who are the winners of Cyberpunk 2077 on Twitch? But summit1g remained an exception with his refusal to play the new game. Because even though Cyberpunk 2077 showed many problems at release, there were some streamers who fully jumped on the Cyberpunk bandwagon and were able to benefit greatly.

The most successful Twitch streamer for Cyberpunk 2077 is shroud. He played for 42 hours, and an average of 60,350 people watched him. Especially at release, he achieved record numbers. In his first stream, he had an average of 95,602 viewers and peaked at 128,407. Thus, he is one of the big winners.

The most successful clip from shroud regarding Cyberpunk 2077 revolves around a special feature in character creation:

A higher peak was reached by the Spanish channel of Rubius. He had 131,633 viewers at release. The Spanish-speaking Twitch isn’t as prominently on our radar in Germany, but it is a huge market for Twitch.

Optimal for his channel, the Twitch veteran CohhCarnage is making use of the release of Cyberpunk 2077. He has already spent 102 hours with the game and maintains an average of 18,963 viewers. The niche streamer is even in the game himself.

It seems there are three types of streamers for Cyberpunk 2077:

Some streamers who specialize in RPGs, like CohhCarnage or Fextralife, really play a lot of Cyberpunk 2077 – and benefit greatly from it. They are at 100 hours in 14 days
Mainstream streamers like xQc or Pokimane only check out Cyberpunk 2077 for a relatively short period and fully embraced the release hype – they had about 10 hours in 14 days. The biggest German Twitch streamer MontanaBlack played it for just 2 hours.
Big shooter-oriented Twitch streamers like shroud (42 hours), LIRIK (41 hours), or DrLupo (36 hours) seem to have found a middle ground and are doing well with it.

Cohh Carnage Titel Uhr — CohhCarnage is one of the big winners of Cyberpunk 2077 on Twitch.

Cyberpunk 2077 dominates Twitch, but only for 2 days

How is Cyberpunk 2077 performing overall on Twitch: The game sparked a huge hype at release and reached peak numbers of over one million simultaneous viewers, especially on the first day. The second day was still strong, but then the curve dropped significantly.

Over the weekend, Cyberpunk 2077 only had about 71,000 viewers on average.

It is hard to compare Cyberpunk 2077 with other games:

The similarly large game “Red Dead Redemption 2” had a much lower peak at launch in October 2018 (382,000), but maintained a much higher average level for a longer time before the numbers crashed.

The numbers for Cyberpunk 2077 suggest that the game could only generate significant hype at release, but then quickly cooled off and probably won’t play a major role on Twitch in the future:

In the last 14 days, Cyberpunk 2077 is in 2nd place with an average of 167,448 viewers
In the last 7 days, Cyberpunk 2077 is in 5th place with an average of 123,711 viewers
In the last 3 days, Cyberpunk 2077 is in 11th place with an average of 71,088 viewers

Cyberpunk 2077 sought closeness to Twitch and influencers. Some German streamers and YouTubers even made it into the game. A list of 7 internet celebrities that you can meet in Cyberpunk in one way or another can be found here:

CoD Warzone: Developer announces nerf of powerful weapon – Quickly backtracks

Noah Struthoff 21. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone there is currently confusion about a possible nerf of the shotgun R9-0. A developer announced the nerf but then quickly backtracked.

This is what happened: On Twitter, Amos Hodge, the Creative Director of Raven Software, reported that the maximum damage of the R9-0 shotgun was reduced. According to Hodge, this was supposed to be in the patch notes, but it slipped through.

Shortly thereafter, however, the developer deleted the tweet, causing a lot of confusion. Has the shotgun been nerfed now?

Link to the Twitter content

The deleted tweet from Hodge was shared by players on Twitter

Was the R9-0 secretly nerfed?

What about the nerf now? There is no official confirmation at the moment. In various forums, numerous players are writing that the shotgun is still incredibly powerful and that the nerf is not really felt. It might actually have been a mistaken tweet from Amos Hodge.

However, it speaks against this that Amos Hodge was directly involved in the patch that was supposed to have brought the nerf. He must have had some reason for that tweet. Many players are holding on to this hope, wishing that the nearly overpowered R9-0 finally gets a nerf.

Why is the shotgun so strong? The R9-0 has been considered a really strong close combat weapon since September. It was equipped with dragon’s breath ammunition as an attachment. This allows you to shoot hot magnesium shards at enemies instead of the usual shotgun pellets.

In combination with this ammunition, the shotgun wipes everything out in close combat and is loved and hated by players. No other weapon is as powerful as the R9-0 up to 8.5 meters.

The CoD professional Nickmercs already stated in early September that the shotgun is ruining Warzone, and not much has changed since then. The R9-0 remains incredibly strong, and many players hoped that it would finally be nerfed with Season 1.

What could happen next? Now we have to wait for an official announcement from the developers. The nerf may have already been implemented or is expected to occur in the near future.

Currently, the R9-0 still counts among the best weapons in Warzone. You can see which weapons are included here:

Survival MMO wanted to do everything better in 2020 – has to give up and close

Alexander Leitsch 21. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The medieval MMO Life is Feudal is closing. The reason for this is a lawsuit that cannot be pursued due to a lack of financial resources. The survival game was supposed to make a fresh start in 2020 and planned another update for the combat system.

What kind of game is this? Life is Feudal is a medieval MMO that focuses on the sandbox aspect. Your task is to survive in the harsh world. To do this, you gather resources, craft tools and weapons, can build structures, and attack other players in PvP.

LiF places a lot of importance on high difficulty and realism. It was released on January 18 in Early Access on Steam and switched to Free2Play in 2019.

Why is it closing now? The developers explained that there is a lawsuit with a publisher that was newly established in 2016 and was supposed to distribute the MMO as Life is Feudal.

This company, however, is said to have done a poor job, which is why the developers of Bitbox then marketed themselves. There seems to have still been a contract with the publisher. This company is said to have offered a new deal in 2020.

After the developers rejected this, the publisher is said to have refused to share their revenue from Life is Feudal. The financial pressure is said to have now led to the game’s shutdown.

Link to the YouTube content

When is Life is Feudal closing? The servers will close on January 18, 2021. However, only the MMO is affected by the changes. The standalone version – Life is Feudal: Your Own – will remain.

Are there refunds? All items purchased since November 1, including currency for real money or the premium account, will be refunded by the developers via Xsolla.

In the FAQ regarding the shutdown, the developers also explained that there will still be an update.

One last update and rule changes

What else is happening with Life is Feudal? The developers originally planned a larger update that would significantly overhaul the combat system. Adjustments to armor, weapons, and mounts were planned.

This update is now supposed to be released in an unfinished version so that players can have a modified gaming experience one last time. Only the planned server wipe with the update will not happen.

Rule changes: Additionally, the developers allow breaking rules during the last weeks in the game. Those who wish can use movable objects to gain access to enemy fortifications.

Until the shutdown, players should still have a lot of fun with the MMO.

2020 was supposed to be a fresh start

Why does the end come as a surprise? For the year 2020, the developers of Life is Feudal had a lot planned. On April 17, the Godenland update was released, which came with some adjustments, including:

A revision of the rules in the world. These were intended to be fairer
Fights received an overhaul
The skill cap was raised
The controls were reworked

Additionally, the new language Turkish was added, which was supposed to reach a whole new audience. Classic MMOs with a lot of PvP are very popular in Turkey.

The second major update was supposed to bring additional features.

Temporary upturn: The Godenland update actually brought some players back. In April, there were 2,941 players online simultaneously – the highest number since March 2019.

However, the upturn was only short-lived. November 2020 was the worst month since the release of the game. Anyone who wants to take another look at the game before shutdown can do so on Steam. It is free to play.

Destiny 2 finally brings back the coolest weapons from part 1

Philipp Hansen 21. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, the iconic weapons like Fatebringer return with the Vault of Glass. Bungie has now spoken for the first time about the modernization.

What’s coming “new” to Destiny 2: The MMO shooter will be richer by a raid in 2021. Specifically, the Vault of Glass from Destiny 1. Players have known and loved the Vex-infested labyrinths since 2014.

Six years have passed by now, and the original raid enjoys such a cult status that even today joyful tears and pleasant memories arise in the Guardian when they hear about Atheon or weapons like Fatebringer.

For many players, it was their first raid ever, a very special adventure that is now supposed to celebrate its return in Destiny 2. Bungie has now revealed details for the first time about what Guardians can expect in the “new” Vault of Glass and what will happen to the iconic weapons of that time.

Vault of Glass gets a facelift because you are too strong

We’ve known for some time that the Vault of Glass is coming to Destiny 2. The Destiny Content Vault (DCV) makes this possible. Joe Blackburn, the Assistant Game Director for Destiny 2, shared details about the return in an interview with Polygon.

The raid will be modernized: According to Blackburn, today’s Guardians would “literally smoke” the raid from 2014.

Since then, our Guardians have become significantly stronger and more versatile
have an almost incomprehensible number of over 150 Exotics
There are new and powerful weapon types
new Supers, even the new Stasis element

Therefore, the raid team faces the challenge of modernizing the Vault of Glass. Blackburn stated that the raid will change and will be “challenging like it was back then […] but we do not want to go so far as to change the raid in such a way that it feels like a different raid”.

What the changes will look like exactly, we do not know yet. Luke Smith indicated, for example, that we might find Champions in the familiar encounters. Nevertheless, the old strategies should still work today – more or less.

In short: The “soul” of the Vault of Glass should remain, you should still be able to say, “oh, this is the Templar phase and the Oracles are coming soon.” But the most famous raid from Destiny is getting a facelift that still leaves it recognizable.

By the way, Blackburn has not yet mentioned an exact release date. Speculations currently suggest Season 14 as the return for the Vault of Glass. That would be in early summer 2021, but that is just speculation.

Soon you will hunt the legendary Fatebringer in Destiny 2

Here is the good news: Blackburn confirmed that the cult weapons are returning: “You cannot bring Vault of Glass back without the weapons that feel like Vault of Glass, right?”.

He further noted that the guns should feel in the hands of veterans like before. But there are some adjustments and modernizations, especially regarding the perk pool.

No one is trying to create a Found Verdict or a Fatebringer that feels radically different from the original Fatebringer. Because then it feels like we are lying to the players, right? […] Everyone knows what the recoil on that weapon is. Everyone knows what perks they wanted.
Joe Blackburn via Polygon

This is why the raid weapons were so special: A large part of the nostalgic memories about the Vault of Glass comes from the raid weapons. The guns are still anchored in the minds of the Guardians – they were the reason the activity was played so often.

The reason is simple: The guns were very rewarding. Until then, Guardians had not seen such good weapons. Here, the loot spiral worked perfectly. As a reward for the hard raid phase, there was a weapon that everyone who was not raiding envied.

Here you can view all the loot from 2014 with perks and detailed descriptions:

von Tom Rothstein

Which weapons are returning? It is not guaranteed that all 10 weapons from back then will return. Blackburn speaks of “I would expect that favorites return”. He specifically mentions the shotgun (Found Verdict) and the hand cannon (Fatebringer) in the interview.

We strongly assume that more weapons will join. For many, the exotic Vex Mythoclast is simply part of the raid and the “Vault of Glass” feeling – and Bungie surely knows this too.

In 2017, Bungie last celebrated the coveted classics in Destiny 1 during the Moments of Triumph.

What memories do you associate with the Vault of Glass? Do you think it makes sense for the raid to be adjusted to the changed conditions of Destiny 2, or did you wish for a 1:1 copy? If not all 10 weapons should return, which gun must absolutely be there – let us know in the comments.

Steam gets a new MMORPG without dragons, orcs, and elves

Andreas Bertits 21. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A new MMORPG called Myth of Empires has been announced, which is set to be released on Steam.

What is Myth of Empires? The MMORPG places you in 3rd century China at the beginning of the Han Dynasty. You start as a nobody, but you can slowly rise to become a respected figure in the land and maybe even take the emperor’s place.

Myth of Empires is a sandbox MMORPG where you forge your own path.

You must survive in the world, searching for food like in a survival game and crafting equipment from resources.
You can build your own buildings and forts.
It is possible to recruit NPCs who then work for you or whom you train into soldiers for an army.
Cooperate with other players to wage war against other guilds.
You participate in massive siege battles.
It is possible to conquer and control lands.
Diplomacy is also important. For example, you can obtain essential goods through trade.

Check out Myth of Empires here in the trailer:

The horse, your best friend in Myth of Empires

What is special about Myth of Empires? Horses are extremely important. They not only get you from point A to B faster, but it is also possible to fight from the animals.

You can also breed and train horses. Horses are necessary for battles, as mounted combat is the focus. However, you must also equip your army with good horses.

Horses are also intended to become a kind of companion and partner.

What do you have to give up? The MMORPG Myth of Empires does not take place in a fantasy world. Consequently, there are no dragons, orcs, elves, or magic. This is how the game aims to distinguish itself from other MMORPGs that often rely on fantasy elements.

Instead, you fight against wild animals, bandits, and other players.

When does the MMORPG launch? Currently, there is no release date yet. However, it is expected to be released as an Early Access title on Steam at an unspecified time.

A beta is also planned, for which you can register on the official website. However, the beta also does not have a start date yet. Should you be selected for the testing phase, you will receive an email with further instructions.

How is the game funded? The developers explain that they want to finish the game itself before discussing the monetization system. Therefore, it is still unclear whether we can expect a free-to-play, buy-to-play game, or a title with a subscription.

Do you want to know which MMORPGs are awaiting you in 2021 and beyond? We present you 18 exciting representatives of the genre.

What is the Team of the Week? EA Sports assembles a new TOTW each week. This team consists of 23 players who have shown strong performances over the past week.

For this, they receive a spot in the Team of the Week as well as improved Inform cards, which can then be found in packs for one week.

Potential Bundesliga Players in TOTW 13

These Bundesliga players could land in TOTW 13:

Robert Lewandowski: The newly crowned World Footballer could receive his second Inform card in FUT 21 this week. With his 2 goals in the top match against Bayer Leverkusen, he is the perfect candidate for a spot in the Team of the Week.

Lars Stindl: In the 3:3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, Stindl scored all 3 goals for Borussia Mönchengladbach. With this hat-trick, he has definitely earned a spot in TOTW 13.

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw: The defender from FC Augsburg had a strong game and scored the decisive 1:0 against Arminia Bielefeld. Whether he will receive his first TOTW card is something we will find out on Wednesday.

Timo Horn: The keeper from 1. FC Köln shined with several saves and kept his goal clean against RB Leipzig. For this performance, he could very well be rewarded with a spot in the Team of the Week.

WoW Classic: Blizzard asks again about “Burning Crusade Classic”

Cortyn 21. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The WoW developers are asking again about “The Burning Crusade Classic” – with some initial plans also becoming apparent.

For a long time, the community of WoW Classic has speculated that Blizzard will soon discuss the release of the first expansion “The Burning Crusade”. After all, there was already a survey about this addon. Now a second survey has been sent to selected players showing new, interesting ideas. Because how should a “The Burning Crusade Classic” look best?

What kind of survey is this? In the WoW subreddit, the user NEM-Furious has published some screenshots of the survey he received. Other players also report that they were able to participate in this survey. While many questions revolve around the current WoW Classic and aim to gather information about the report system or the fun of the game, there are also a few questions about a potential “The Burning Crusade Classic”. For example, Blizzard wants to know:

How interested players would be in “The Burning Crusade Classic”
How likely they would play “The Burning Crusade Classic”

What else was asked? Interesting are also some of the other questions. It seems that Blizzard is considering some “Fresh Start” realms. These would be Classic realms that essentially start from day 1 of WoW Classic and unlock content gradually – starting only with raids like Onyxia and Molten Core. On such a “Fresh Start” realm, content would then be unlocked in a similar way to how it was for the other Classic realms.

Is “The Burning Crusade Classic” coming? Even though there is still no official confirmation for it, it seems very likely. The question will not be whether a BC Classic will come, but rather how. Therefore, Blizzard is probably also sending out the surveys to already plan how the release of the “new old” expansion could look. BC fans can expect a release in 2021 – and a year or two later, the fans of “Wrath of the Lich King” can also look forward to this Classic experience…

Are you looking forward to more expansions for WoW Classic? Or should the Vanilla version not be touched anymore?

Classic was extremely popular with you – every second found it really great.

Twitch streamer Ninja is now in Fall Guys – Now players want Dragon Ball

Max Handwerk 20. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Twitch streamer Ninja has received his own personal skin in Fall Guys. However, the announcement sparked fans’ desire for another collaboration.

Why is Ninja in Fall Guys? The Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is not new to being featured in a game. He already had his own skin in Fortnite – and now in Fall Guys as well.

The streamer participated in a charity marathon last summer, where the numbers soared. The highest donations were to be rewarded with a skin in Fall Guys, which became a huge hit on Steam and PS Plus during the summer.

According to a tweet, Ninja, Mr. Beast, Aim Lab, and G2 Esports donated one million dollars. Ninja is now the first corresponding skin to come into the game.

The skin was announced via Twitter. In the announcement, it was initially mentioned that 5 crowns would be required for the upper and lower parts of the skin but currently, both can be found in the in-game shop for one crown each (as of December 20, 1:00 PM).

However, the announcement of the skin came with a second tweet – and that grabbed players’ attention.

Dragon Ball? Not a bad idea at all

What does Dragon Ball have to do with it? In the second tweet from the official Fall Guys Twitter account, which occasionally enjoys joking around, the following is stated: “I actually wanted to post this and let you all guess, but I was afraid it looked like a Dragon Ball Z collaboration lol”.

Just seeing the shadow, one could indeed recall the typical spiky hairstyles of Dragon Ball heroes. Some fans noted this in the comments – and they find the Dragon Ball idea anything but bad:

“Now I REALLY NEED a DBZ crossover” comments one user (via Twitter).
“It definitely should have been a DBZ collaboration, because I don’t even know who the other guy is” writes another (via Twitter).
“Good that you didn’t post this. I would have definitely bought it if it were a Super Saiyan” comments another user (via Twitter).

Comments like these are continually found under the tweet. It seems there is indeed a market for a possible DBZ crossover. That Fall Guys is open to wacky skins was evidenced when the game recently featured a Godzilla skin.

What’s going on in Fall Guys? Currently, the third season is running in Fall Guys, featuring winter-themed levels and new cosmetics. Among other things, players can deal with slippery floors, be rolled over by giant snowballs, or be blown around by the wind. So there are plenty of traps that can throw your Fall Guys off balance!

The game is currently only available on Steam and PS4. What about other platforms?

FIFA 21: 5 really strong players under 25,000 coins

Max Handwerk 20. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Are you looking for reinforcements for your team in FIFA 21? Then you can find some players under 25,000 coins here who are worth it in Ultimate Team.

What kind of list is this? In this article, you will find players below 25,000 coins, whose stats promise to improve your own team. They all have to be good enough to justify the price.

Important: We are only looking for players whose value is at least 10,000 coins. Why? Because we already have a list of really good players under 10,000 coins: Here you can find strong bargains on the transfer market.

This time we are looking at a higher price range. Who is worth it on the transfer market at the moment if you want to spend a maximum of 25,000 coins?

Jamie Vardy

The Englishman currently costs around 25,000 coins and just makes it onto our list. He is a good option if you play a Premier League team. High pace and a reliable finish make him a dangerous striker.

Alejandro Gomez

The Argentinian plays in the Italian Serie A and brings everything a good playmaker needs. He has the necessary vision for passing and decent dribbling. His 90 pace makes him a fast attacker. He also has four stars for weak foot and skills. He currently costs about 23,000 coins.

Jordi Alba

If you are looking for a good option for the left defense, Alba might be your choice. He currently also costs about 23,000 coins and brings good stats in terms of pace. Moreover, he is a reliable dribbler and passer. He is especially worth it if you also expect offensive play from your full-backs.

Kai Havertz

Havertz plays as a playmaker in the Premier League and has good stats in pace, shooting, and dribbling. He also has the double four-star combination. He is particularly suitable as a link between Bundesliga and Premier League teams. Currently, he costs only about 13,000 coins.

Riyad Mahrez

The winger from Manchester City comes mainly with strong dribbling stats and also offers a 5-star rating for skills. In terms of tricks, Mahrez is well-equipped. Additionally, he has good stats for passing and dribbling. He is a good creator and currently costs 15,000 coins.

These players can potentially be a good reinforcement for your team. At the same time, they also offer high stats to serve as SBC fodder if needed.

For example, there is currently an SBC for POTM Haaland. It is expensive, but the price is worth it.

Sorry, Pokémon GO, but a garbage bag doesn’t fit your seasons at all

Noah Struthoff 20. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Pokémon GO has introduced seasons since early December. For MeinMMO editor Noah Struthoff, it’s a brilliant feature, but unfortunately the implementation doesn’t fit at all.

It could have been so nice. The seasons in Pokémon GO are a feature I’ve wished for since the beginning of Pokémon GO. In winter, there are mostly Ice-type Pokémon, and in summer, there are Water-type Pokémon. In spring, the Grass-types come, and in autumn, the Bug-types.

This is more or less how Niantic announced the seasons. “In the first season, for example, winter Pokémon will appear in the wild in the Northern Hemisphere” – this was proclaimed for the first season named “a festive season”. It would make sense because while in the real world the first snow falls and it gets cold, Ice-type Pokémon in the game would be just great.

Sack of Trash instead of Ice-type Pokémon

This is how the seasons were implemented: The reality now unfortunately looks quite different. Ice-type Pokémon hardly appear outside of events. There are sporadically a Petznief or Shnebedeck, but I rarely see the winter Pokémon.

Instead, there’s trash everywhere. You can take this literally, as the most common Pokémon for me is Unratütox – a Pokémon that looks like a trash bag.

While one thinks of Christmas Pokémon during a “festive season”, one instead has to catch trash bags. This is neither festive nor wintery.

If one is not being besieged by trash bags, there’s little diversity in the spawns. I usually find Karadonis, Makuhita, Smogon, or Hornliu during my rounds. These are Fighting and Poison-type Pokémon. Two types that actually don’t fit Christmas at all.

You need to keep this in mind: I’m only talking about the spawns outside of events. In events, there are mainly event Pokémon, such as Kiesling or Lithomith (in the Celebi event). I’m quite satisfied with that, but unfortunately outside of events, it looks very different.

This bothers me the most: I don’t see it quite so strictly with the seasons. However, particularly annoying is the diversity of the spawns because it’s actually hardly given. It feels like 80-90% of the spawns outside of events consist of 5-6 Pokémon. There’s barely any variety.

If I think about it, I’ve caught maybe 20 different types of Pokémon outside of events. There are currently over 600 Pokémon in the game, and only 20 species somewhat commonly found in the wild – that’s significantly too few for me.

Niantic has promised that in the next season, other Pokémon will be more frequently encountered, and that’s great. Still, I wish for at least a bit more diversity per season, because catching almost only 5 different Pokémon for 3 months is quite disappointing in the long run.

Do other trainers see it this way? The diversity of the spawns is also a hot topic of discussion among other trainers. It’s interesting that different regions around the world have different Pokémon that appear continuously. In India, players complain about Grillmak, South America has a Felino plague, and Scandinavia reports Shnebedeck on every corner.

Especially the weather plays a role here. In Germany, it’s currently mostly overcast, which is why Unratütox is ubiquitous. In Scandinavia, it snows a lot, so at least the Ice-type Pokémon Shnebedeck comes out.

It is still a problem. Because instead of allowing numerous Pokémon with weather enhancement to spawn, there are usually only 1-3 Pokémon that always appear.

The trainer expir3 sums it up well on reddit: “The season update feels like a step backwards in spawn diversity.”

This is what I wish for: Finally bring on the winter spawns that were promised! Of course, it doesn’t snow everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, and the overcast weather lures out the Poison-type Pokémon. That’s all fine, but having Unratütox everywhere is very disappointing. Here I would wish for significantly more variety.

Now the Christmas event is waiting for us trainers. There will probably be fewer Unratütox appearing:

The best deals from December 20 – with Razer’s Naga Trinity

Benedikt Schlotmann 20. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

Are you looking for hardware deals or cheap offers before Christmas for gaming PCs or consoles? We’re checking out deals at Amazon, MediaMarkt, and more, and presenting you with offers around gaming like headsets, mice, and keyboards. This time featuring a WoW board game and Razer’s Naga Trinity for MMO fans.

What’s it about? In recent weeks, there have been many exciting offers with Black Friday and Cyber Week. However, there will still be a few deals for gamers or enthusiasts in the coming days up to Christmas.

The article presents a selection of the best deals. If you’re still looking for a Christmas gift idea, a game, or an upgrade for your gaming PC, then check it out here.

The most interesting offers from December 20

Before Christmas, there are plenty of interesting offers for gamers. Since Monday, Amazon has been running its “Last-Minute” deals, and MediaMarkt has an Advent calendar. We present the most interesting offers from December 20, 2020.

Razer Naga Trinity: The Naga Trinity is the best mouse for those who want to stay flexible in the MMO genre and like the Razer ecosystem. The mouse allows for easy switching between MMO shooters, MOBAs, and MMORPGs. MeinMMO tested the Naga Pro – the successor to the Trinity.

The Naga Trinity from Razer offers a variety of buttons that can be freely configured. The side panel can be removed and exchanged for other parts. The mechanical buttons provide good tactile feedback. Unfortunately, the mouse is only suitable for right-handed users, and some users report issues with button wear during prolonged use.

Both the Razer Naga Trinity and its successor are counted among MeinMMO’s best gaming mice that you can currently buy if you want flexibility with your mouse or play games that require many buttons.

Currently, both Amazon and MediaMarkt offer the gaming mouse for 67.26 € (~~109.99 €~~), saving you 38%. According to Geizhals.de, this is currently the best deal for Razer’s gaming mouse.

With the Razer Ornata V2, there’s also a keyboard on offer that matches the mouse, which we want to present to you in the next section.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Buy Razer Naga Trinity at MediaMarkt

Razer Ornata V2: The Razer Ornata Chroma gaming keyboard is a good combination with the Naga Trinity and also with the new Naga Pro. The keyboard combines rubber domes with mechanical keys. This combination is said to ensure that players do not tire even during long gaming sessions.

The keyboard offers a pleasant typing and gaming experience, has a very comfortable wrist rest, and provides a good overall package for its price. The keyboard does not offer in-game storage, and the durability of the keys could be better, and for the lighting, you absolutely need Razer’s proprietary software. Also, for lovers of mechanical keyboards, this one is less suitable; there are better candidates like the HyperX Alloy FPS, which costs about the same. We’ve listed the best gaming keyboards available right now in our top list.

Overall, you get a good gaming keyboard in the offer, especially if you like the Razer ecosystem.

Currently, the Razer Ornata V2 at MediaMarkt costs 75.06 € (~~109.99 €~~), saving you 31%. According to Geizhals.de, you can’t find the gaming keyboard from Razer cheaper anywhere else than this offer.

Buy Razer Ornata V2 at MediaMarkt

LOGITECH Marathon M705: This mouse is currently available in MediaMarkt’s “Logitech Advent Calendar”. This mouse is a 6-button mouse from Logitech. It uses a Logitech Unifying receiver and connects wirelessly to the PC. The major strength of this small, ergonomic mouse is its long battery life.

The mouse is available only for right-handers. The scroll wheel is also not the mouse’s strong suit, as it feels a bit mushy.

For users who are often on the go, the Marathon M705 is a good deal. Pure gamers should look for another mouse, as the DPI maximum of the mouse is 1000.

At MediaMarkt, the wireless mouse costs 22.22 € (~~36.82 €~~), saving you 39%. Thus, the price is currently lower than with other providers according to Geizhals.de.

Buy LOGITECH Marathon M705 at MediaMarkt

Small World of Warcraft: This game is a licensed version of the well-known classic “Small World”. However, it is not just a simple licensed board game. The author Phillipe Keyaerts, who is behind the WoW variant, incorporates many features of Azeroth into the game. These include well-known locations or artifacts that you can find in the game world. Things like Thrall’s Doomhammer or the dungeon Karazhan. These provide various bonuses in combat.

The conflict between Horde and Alliance can also be found in the race abilities, reflecting the world of Azeroth.

Nevertheless, it is and remains a “Small World” game, and it is an area-control board game: You conquer regions, collect victory points, and in Small World fashion, you let old races perish when they no longer yield points. Those expecting significantly more may be disappointed. All others can buy it without hesitation at the offer price of 39.99 €. According to Geizhals.de, you won’t find the game cheaper currently.

Buy Small World of Warcraft at MediaMarkt

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

More exciting offers: If you’re still looking for games for your PC or console, you should check out the current offers at Amazon. There is currently a 3 for the price of 2 deal on 3 games. The offer runs until December 21. Here, you can find a few interesting games for the cold season:

WoW “World First” Race: The Penultimate Boss Leaves Professional Guilds Desperate

Cortyn 20. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The “World First” race in WoW: Shadowlands is still ongoing. Three guilds are tied – and more EU guilds are catching up.

The “World First” race is currently taking place in World of Warcraft in the only raid of Shadowlands. Castle Nathria has been available in mythic mode for a few days, and numerous guilds are trying to reach the boss Sire Denathrius to be the first guild in the world to complete the raid. The race is quite exciting this time, as many guilds are closely matched.

What is the current status? As of now, the US guild Complexity Limit is still in first place, as they were the first guild in the world to defeat the boss Sludgefist. However, the lead is dwindling, as EU guilds Echo and Pieces have also now defeated Sludgefist and are tied with Complexity Limit. Method, which have reformed after a scandal, are in 4th place, just ahead of the German guild Aversion.

So far, 11 guilds have reached at least boss 7, making the gap to the top spots extremely small and there could still be a surprise.

What is currently the obstacle? The current block for the top guilds is the boss “Generals of the Stone Legion.” This fight is the ninth in Castle Nathria and thus the last before the final boss Denathrius.

The Stone Generals are quite a complex fight, which was made even harder by Blizzard a few days ago. There were also a number of bugs causing players to receive double the amount of debuffs, leading to an instant death. However, even without these errors, the fight requires the full attention of the players. There are numerous adds that need to be killed quickly, and coordination is more important in this fight than ever before. Here Maximum from Limit explains some of the bugs:

Additionally, there are phases where players cannot be healed at all, which often overlaps with other fatal abilities and frequently leads to an instant wipe of the entire group.

Whether the boss can only be defeated after further fixes by Blizzard or if it simply requires more gear is currently unclear. The next few days will surely show.

Do you think Complexity Limit can defend its title? Will Echo take the title? Or can Method still overtake everyone?

Activision Blizzard is doing exceptionally well – the stock is at an all-time high.

Fortnite: Dance by Christmas Trees – All Trees on the Map

Max Handwerk 20. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, you need to find Christmas trees and dance in front of them. Here you can find all the trees on the map.

What kind of task is this? Currently, the “Operation: Snowdown” is ongoing in Fortnite with various missions. You need to complete these missions to unlock various rewards like skins, emotes, and other cosmetics.

One of the missions is “Dance in front of different Christmas trees.” This task is actually easy to solve if you know where the trees are located. Therefore, you can find all the trees on the map here.

Here you can find the Christmas trees in Fortnite

Where are the Christmas trees? To complete the task, you need to dance in front of a total of 5 different trees. You cannot use the same tree twice.

Currently, the northern island half is the best place to complete the tree task. Here on the map, we have marked the currently available trees.

In the north of the map, you can also find the new mythic weapon Dragon’s Breath.

You can currently find the trees in:

Holly Hedges
Dirty Docks
Craggy Cliffs
Orchard
Pleasant Park
Salty Towers

How to complete the task: To finish the challenge, you now need to visit the locations and dance in front of one of the trees using an emote. Finding them within the place is simple: They are huge, they glow, and presents including boxes are also in front of them. You can easily spot them from the air.

Theoretically, you can complete the task within one round, as the locations are not too far apart. Especially if you use cars or the returning planes to move quickly. Rift Fish or Zero Point Fish can also help with mobility.

FIFA 21: Gnabry is now the best CAM in the Bundesliga – Here’s how to get him

Max Handwerk 20. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The new Freeze version of Serge Gnabry is an absolute top card in FIFA 21. Especially for Bundesliga teams, he is a real asset in FUT.

This is Freeze Gnabry: The new Gnabry variant switches, like many cards from the Freeze promo, its position. The new card moves Gnabry from the right midfielder (RM) to the central attacking position (CAM). In addition, there are some value boosts for the Bayern attacker. This card is perfect for Bundesliga teams.

This is what makes the card so strong: Looking only at the overall value, Gnabry, with his rating of 88, is already the strongest CAM in the Bundesliga. He surpasses:

Rulebreakers Marco Reus (87)
Inform Thomas Müller (87)
RTTF Julian Brandt (87) from the current event
Moments Emil Forsberg (86)

But his individual stats are simply incredibly strong for the central position. On the one hand, Gnabry’s pace is increased from 82 to 88. This is a decent upgrade, and especially important: In the center, pace is less crucial than on the wing. Additionally, there are further boosts to dribbling, shooting, and passing values.

Gnabry thus receives an upgrade in all crucial attacking values, which you can further boost with a Chemistry Style. He also brings 4 stars for the weak foot as well as for the skills. In short: Freeze Gnabry is a versatile option in central midfield, capable of directing your game but also becoming a finisher himself. He also fits as a playmaker for the new POTM Haaland.

How to get Freeze Gnabry from the SBC

How to get Gnabry: To get Gnabry, you need to solve two partial SBCs. This means you need to build and exchange teams. The requirements are as follows:

The first requires an 84-rated team with at least one Bayern player and 70 team chemistry. It will cost you around 55,000 coins if you have no SBC fodder left.
The second SBC requires an 86-rated team with one player from the Bundesliga and at least 60 chemistry. Here you can expect about 185,000 coins if you need to start without any fodder.

We show you two possible solutions for the SBC from the community of futbin.

Bayern Munich SBC:

This solution relies on players who do not necessarily play in their usual positions. However, it is sufficient for the chemistry and rating requirements.

Bundesliga SBC:

This solution also places players in unfamiliar positions but is also sufficient for the requirements.

Important: These two solutions are just suggestions. It may be that you can also complete the SBCs with players you already have in your club – or at least partially. You can, for example, use untradeable players in your club to lower the cost of the SBC since you won’t need to buy as many additional players.

If you have Gnabry in your team, you can look forward to a real boost for your squad. Are you looking for more good players? Then you will find great deals here in our bargain list.

The stock of Activision Blizzard is more valuable than ever

Cortyn 20. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

For Activision Blizzard, 2020 will likely go down in history as a new record year. The stock reached its highest value ever.

While 2020 will likely be considered by most people as “Once is enough, please never again”, there are also some companies that will record 2020 as a record year. One of them is certainly Activision Blizzard, as their stock set a new record in 2020. The highest value ever was reached, as the stock is worth $90.37 (as of December 19, 2020). Thus, the stock has risen a whopping 17% in value since the release of WoW: Shadowlands.

A low was followed by a high: In 2018, things did not look so good for Activision Blizzard. After many negative reports and scandals, the stock plummeted and lost steadily in value from September 2018 to February 2019 – the stock lost nearly 50% during that time. Since then, it has gradually recovered, so that the value now stands at $90.37 and thus the highest value ever has been reached.

What is the reason for the success? There are probably many reasons for this. On one hand, Shadowlands was the fastest-selling PC game, breaking many records on the day of release. On the other hand, Activision Blizzard had not only WoW in store, but also other titles that could shine. The “Call of Duty” franchise, along with new Hearthstone expansions and games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater ensured that Activision Blizzard’s games were widely played.

Lastly, it should not be forgotten that the Corona crisis has also helped some companies. In times of social distancing and contact restrictions, many people stay at home and turn to video games for entertainment. Companies like Activision Blizzard benefit from being able to meet the needs of people at home.

What does the future look like? Speculation suggests that the coming year will be similarly successful for Activision Blizzard (and thus the stock). Although Corona is expected to be curbed by a vaccine, Activision and especially Blizzard have several major releases planned for the coming years, such as Overwatch 2, Diablo 4, or Diablo Immortal. Additionally, there are potential games, like “The Burning Crusade Classic”.

Do you consider the success of the stock and thus Activision Blizzard deserved? Or were the wrong ones “rewarded”?

Destiny 2: New Exotic suddenly makes old Supers top-tier

Philipp Hansen 20. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

Warlocks can rejoice in Destiny 2. A new and underrated Exotic from Beyond Light transforms the dusty Solar Super into a monster. MeinMMO provides you with a suitable build.

This Exotic is about: The exotic helmet Dusk Chorus from Beyond Light is exclusively available to Warlocks. This significantly benefits your aging Solar Super.

Carriers receive a whole range of strong bonus effects:

The burning swords of the Dawnblade Super ignite enemies.
When the Flame Swords hit burning enemies, the damage increases significantly – up to 3 times the damage.
All burning effects damage enemies for significantly longer.
If an enemy takes damage from burns, it reloads your melee ability. This also applies to Solar grenades.

Why is there no love for the helmet? Why isn’t an Exotic with so many bonus effects played up and down? Quite simply: Currently, the new Stasis Supers overshadow the old classes. It’s no wonder that Exotics for aged Supers are overlooked. But that’s a mistake.

Even the big names in Destiny are slowly becoming aware of the Warlock Exotic and are raving about it. We show you why the Dawnblade with the right helmet Dusk Chorus is now considered one of the best Supers in the game.

Where to get the helmet and the 5 other new armor Exotics from Beyond Light, you can read here on MeinMMO:

Dusk Chorus from Beyond Light should not be overlooked

How strong is the Exotic? As mentioned, the damage of your Dawnblade increases significantly. When your swords hit burning enemies, each sword adds bonus damage until you reach 200% – which is 3 times as much as a regular Dawnblade.

The damage level is shown in these comparisons:

A Hunter with the exotic helmet Celestial Nighthawk deals less damage with the Golden Gun
Even a Chaos Reach plus the exotic Geomag Stabilizers or a Nova Bomb lose the damage duel against the Solar Super.
Throughout the entire duration of the Super, you deal more damage with the Dawnblade combined with the Dusk Chorus than the most famous anti-boss Supers.
However, you must keep in mind that it takes the Dawnblade longer to deal the same amount of damage as the other Supers.

This is why the Solar Super is so good: This Exotic bypasses the Dawnblade’s (bottom tree) inherent weakness: boss damage. The Super has been one of the best for a long time when it comes to clearing out normal enemies.

You can either scorch entire waves of adds, as each defeated target with your seeking Flame Swords ultimately extends the Super. Or you ignite a boss and deal massive damage to a single target.

This little trick is important for maximum damage

So you ignite enemies before the Super: To ensure your Solar Super doesn’t have to set enemies on fire first and deal more damage, you should pre-ignite bosses. Use your melee for this, for example. This way, you don’t waste a blade and let the damage soar earlier.

The melee of the lower Solar Warlock normally deals fire damage 5 times. With Dusk Chorus, it’s up to 17 times. Solar grenades also ignite enemies this way but do not burn for much longer.

By the way, you fully recharge your melee attack through the long burn time. So you have a burning fist ready for each enemy.

Build for Warlocks with the Exotic Dusk Chorus

We provide you with a strong build that will have your Dawnblade ready to unleash your devastating Solar Super as quickly as possible, but also brings heavy bonuses outside of the Super.

This is what you need:

The exotic pulse rifle Bad Karma – If you missed it back then, you can buy it again at the exotic kiosk.
Of course, the new exotic helmet Dusk Chorus.
Select the lower tree (Flame Harmony) for your Solar Warlock.
The mod Berserker – you can find it in the Artifact from Season 12

You can then extend the build with Warmind Cells. Since you fully focus on Solar damage, the mods Rasputin’s Fury and Global Reach are recommended. Also, invest heavily in intellect.

This is how you play it: When you use your Dawnblade and get kills, you automatically reload the Berserker mod. Once you come out of the Super, you have a 35% buff on weapon damage. Since the lower Dawnblade lasts significantly longer and loads up through kills, the buff remains for up to a minute after ending the Super.

During this time, you mow everything down with your Bad Karma.

The fully automatic pulse rifle nicely reloads the magazine on its own.
The rifle reloads the Super and generates orbs through its catalyst that also give you Super energy.
In addition to the extra damage from Berserker, the weapon increases its damage on kills.

In between, you ignite enemies with your melee – they explode and ignite everything in the vicinity. If a boss or strong mini-boss gets in your way, let loose with your fully recharged melee and let your Flame Swords do the talking.

What do you think of the unjustly neglected Exotic Dusk Chorus? Does the oddly shaped helmet give the dusty Solar Super a new shine?

Bungie has now also commented on whether the Supers from before Beyond Light will receive the same updates as the fresh Stasis Supers.

5 things that LoL Wild Rift must adjust in beta

Alexander Leitsch 19. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

On December 10, LoL Wild Rift started in Europe with its open beta and has received a lot of praise since then. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has already spent a lot of time in the game and has gathered some points where Riot Games still needs to improve.

What is this about? Wild Rift is currently still in beta, but in its current form, it’s already a very good MOBA for smartphones. It runs smoothly, has a notable pool of champions, is easy to control, and offers various game modes like Normal or Ranked.

However, there are still some things that Riot Games needs to work on to make Wild Rift perfect for me. The points mentioned here are based on my own opinion. If you have other criticisms or additions, feel free to write them in the comments.

1. Role selection before the match starts

What bothers me? In League of Legends, various modes allow me to directly register for a position I would like to play. This is possible in both normal and ranked matches.

In Wild Rift, however, there is only the “Blind Pick” option. You start your match and only know which role you will be playing once the others have selected their champions. Those who are too slow may end up having to play a role they are not comfortable with – or worse – they select a role that is already filled.

What can already be stressful in normal matches is a disaster for ranked. In my last 3 matches, we had at least one position that was filled twice. Support and jungler positions are rarely played. This often leads to a loss, especially if the opposing team properly selects their roles.

What change do I wish for? The adjustment is actually quite simple: At least for ranked matches, such a role selection should happen beforehand so that I can play a role I am comfortable with.

I would also like to see a new mode: “Alternate Selection”. This already exists in LoL and simulates ranked gameplay, but without the risk of losing my rank.

I suspect that Riot Games has initially disabled a role selection because it could lead to long waiting times. As mentioned above, support and jungler are currently rarely played. However, in my opinion, there are already enough players in ranked that an adjustment would be worthwhile.

Update December 21: Meanwhile, we know that work is already being done on the role selection.

2. Bans in Ranked

What is the problem? In Wild Rift, there are champions that are significantly stronger than others. Some also counter the champions that you like to play. For this, LoL has a so-called ban phase, where both teams select champions that cannot be used throughout the match.

What change do I wish for? Although Wild Rift has a significantly smaller champion pool, with 49 champions, it’s reasonable to start allowing each team to ban 1 or 2 champions. The selection thereafter would still be large enough.

You can find the best champions in our tier list.

3. ARAM

What is the problem? Currently, Wild Rift only offers a single map: Summoner’s Rift. While this is the mode most used by all players, I am a huge fan of ARAM – All Random All Mid.

In this mode, there is only one lane, and it consistently leads to 5v5 fights. The rounds are already significantly shorter on PC than in Summoner’s Rift, and it’s also a lot of fun.

What change do I wish for? Clearly, I want Riot Games to bring this fun mode to Wild Rift as well. It provides variety and helps players get used to new champions in teamfight situations.

4. Remove the “Refused to Surrender” banner

What is the problem? In Wild Rift, it frequently happens that a player on the team wants to give up because the start didn’t go as expected.

This player can then initiate a vote to surrender. If 4 out of 5 players agree, the game is surrendered. If not, the game continues.

However, if it continues, a huge “Your Team refused to surrender” banner appears right in the field of vision. And that has killed me multiple times.

What do I wish for? A small message in the chat is sufficient to convey this information. If I’ve hidden it, I probably don’t want to see it. After all, you notice if the team has surrendered.

5. An interface for statistics outside the game

What change do I wish for? In this case, there is actually no problem, but just a change I wish for. For years, I have used tools outside of LoL for statistics, for example, to track my win rates with champions or see how high I am in the TFT ranking.

Currently, however, there seems to be no such interface for Wild Rift. At least I haven’t found any provider using this. So this wish goes to both Riot Games and the diligent programmers out there: Create a website where I can admire my achievements in Wild Rift!
