Destiny 2: New update adjusts Exotics and issues – Preview of patch notes

Philipp Hansen 4. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

On Destiny 2, the biggest update since Beyond Light is coming on December 8th. This update addresses bugs but also brings a long-requested quality-of-life feature, although differently than expected.

On November 10, 2020, the wait for many Guardians was finally over, and Beyond Light went live. The expansion hit like a bomb, even though there were launch issues. In the following weeks, there were constant fixes and small updates.

What’s coming in Destiny 2: In just a few days, on December 8th, the first fully packed, “real” update for Destiny 2 is coming. Update 3.0.1 is relatively large, with file sizes ranging from 1.5 GB to as much as 70 GB depending on the platform.

Here’s what you can expect just in time for the next Weekly Reset:

Destiny 2 will receive extensive improvements for PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
Numerous fixes and minor issues will be addressed.
Three of the new Exotics will be adjusted.
You can accept bounties from vendors without having to visit them.
The first Iron Banner of Season 12 will start.
The popular endgame activity “Prophecy Dungeon” returns with top loot.
And the Crucible will be a bit more forgiving.

MeinMMO gives you an outlook on the highlights of the announced changes and looks at the patch notes.

For all the important details about the next-gen upgrade and download size, read about it here in a separate article:

Update improves Destiny 2 on PS5 & Xbox Series X, but the download is huge

Patch Notes Preview 3.0.1 Destiny 2

What happens with the new Exotics: Beyond Light brought 2 new Exotics each for Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans. Three of the unique armors will receive changes.

Mask of Bakris (Hunter):

Improved visibility of the visual effect – this means that opposing Guardians will now see more clearly when a Hunter jumps at them with the Exotic.
The item description will be adjusted to correctly name the damage bonus: The additional damage does not affect Guardians, only PvE enemies – this applies to Arc weapon damage and damage against slowed or frozen opponents.
Players affected by Stasis in the Crucible and Gambit will no longer take damage (this was a bug).

Necrotic Grip (Warlocks):

If you were eliminated by the damage of the Exotic, you used to receive the message “Eliminated by the Architects” – that is now a thing of the past with Update 3.0.1.

Icefall Mantle (Titan):

Due to a bug, the description of the Exotic did not mention that activating the protection creates a slow field. The additional effect will now be visibly added for all.

Patch Notes at a glance: Here we give you a summary of the most important changes of Update 3.0.1. For the full preview, visit the Bungie page on Bungie.net .

The new quest sniper rifle can now finally be pulled from the collection. If you dismantled or infused it, you can regain it.
Your collection should also no longer “forget” which page you were on when you viewed an item in preview. Additionally, armor mods will now correctly state the source in the collection and you will see the correct class for shards.
The mercy rule in the Crucible no longer triggers prematurely – this rule ends matches with an unassailable point difference more kindly, instead of forcing players to endure the shame longer.
The Exotic kiosk no longer blinks continuously, even if you own all Exotics.
The new entry for “New Light” guardians and veterans has been eased by some issues. So if you had problems there, you can relax and continue playing after the update.

Bungie also lists a long list of known issues that they are currently working on. Soon, for example, colorblind guardians should have fewer issues tracking the Born of Wrath.

Destiny 2 gets a long-awaited feature – but only in the app for now

What the Companion App will soon be able to do: Along with Update 3.0.1, the “Destiny Companion App” for Android and iOS will also receive an update:

You can finally accept bounties from NPCs without having to visit them.
This will work with your smartphone.
However, initially, this will only work when you are offline, in the Tower, or in orbit.
Anyone wanting to learn more about the useful features of the official Companion App for Destiny 2 will find information here.

Whether the feature will also be integrated into the game itself later is still unclear. The guardians have been demanding this for a long time. With one vendor, this already works: The Eververse – it can be conveniently accessed through the menu at any time.

Are you looking forward to the changes and do you think it’s good that Destiny 2 has been so generously supplied with fixes and updates since the launch of Beyond Light? Especially the veterans remember much longer intervals.

The creators of Destiny are apparently also working on completely different projects, which not everyone likes: Bungie has been developing new games for 3 years – fans of Destiny 2 criticize this

MediaMarkt and Saturn are delivering PS5 consoles again – The current status

Alexander Leitsch 4. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Some pre-orders from waves 1 and 2 are still waiting for their PS5 from MediaMarkt and Saturn. But there is good news. Some consoles are expected to be shipped again in the coming days.

What is going on? While some retailers have already shipped consoles from wave 3 on November 19, MediaMarkt and Saturn are still lagging behind significantly.

Even before the release date of the PS5, MediaMarkt sent emails that some orders might not arrive on time. At the end of November, there was a larger number of shipments – but this did not cover all pre-orders.

As the website Gameswirtschaft reports, dozens of buyers supposedly received a shipping confirmation on the night of December 4 – especially customers of MediaMarkt. However, not all consoles are expected to be shipped at once, but rather piece by piece.

How can I see if my console is being shipped? If your PS5 is shipped by the retailer, you will receive a corresponding notification via email.

If you have a customer account at MediaMarkt or Saturn, you can track the status of your order there. In general, you should keep an eye on both platforms.

Some buyers have also arranged for pickup in-store. For this, you will need the pickup confirmation that is sent via email. However, there could be regional differences in the supply of stores, warns Gameswirtschaft.

PS5 orders are still chaotic

How did the sale of the PS5 go? Pretty much every wave of pre-orders for Sony’s new console was chaotic. The first pre-sale started too early and almost all retailers experienced technical problems. Additionally, further pre-order actions faced huge demand and technical failures.

In wave 3, for example, Otto had to cancel some purchases because too many were ordered in too short a time. This made the chaos perfect for many.

In the current 4th wave, which took place on December 3, Euronics experienced problems. Buyers are said not to have received an order confirmation, even though the money was already debited. In this case, you should contact Euronics support.

Will I get a PS5 in 2020? Sony made many interested parties hopeful at the end of November again that there might be more sales before the end of the year. Whether this refers to the recent sales wave on December 3 or if there might be another wave before the end of the year is currently unknown.

However, all the pre-order actions also brought forth heartwarming stories. One father sat down with a total of 8 devices and tried for 13 hours to get a PS5 for his son – and he succeeded:

BioWare loses 2 of its key people – What will happen to Dragon Age 4 and Mass Effect?

Andreas Bertits 4. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

No BioWare fan probably expected this: Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah are leaving the studio and handing over Mass Effect and Dragon Age to other hands.

What was announced? On December 3rd, both Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah unexpectedly announced that they were leaving the game studio.

Both are very important figures for BioWare. Casey Hudson is the head of the studio and as Creative Director is responsible for the Mass Effect series as well as the next game. Mark Darrah, on the other hand, was the Executive Producer for the Dragon Age games.

In the meantime, Gary McKay (Senior Director of Development Operations) will take over the leadership of the studio.

Casey Hudson wrote:

I have been incredibly lucky in my career to work with brilliantly talented individuals, to create entire worlds from our imagination, and to see millions of people around the world enjoy them. And now, after almost 20 years of work at BioWare, I have made the decision to step back from the studio and make way for the next generation of studio leaders.

It is not an easy decision, and major changes like this always come with a certain degree of sadness. I will miss being able to work every day with our inspiring developers on the biggest and most exciting projects I can imagine. But I also know that this is a good time for a change, both for me and for BioWare.
Casey Hudson, Head of BioWare

Mark Darrah mentioned on BioWare’s website:

I have been at BioWare since the 90s. Since back when CRPGs were considered a dead genre. Over the last 23 years, I have witnessed video games evolve into a truly powerful medium of communication. We are an important part of so many people’s lives. And BioWare has been a part of that journey. While I still believe in the strength of BioWare and will continue to have a place in this conversation, I have decided to step back from my position at BioWare.

This was a very difficult decision for me. The team of amazing developers at Dragon Age makes my life more fulfilling and better. They have taught me so much. But it is also the strength of the team that makes this possible. I know that Dragon Age will not only survive without me but thrive.
Mark Darrah, Executive Producer of Dragon Age

What the two will do next has not yet been revealed. Mark Darrah at least said that he does not know yet.

A new Mass Effect and Dragon Age 4 are still coming

What does this mean for Mass Effect? Recently, not only was the Legendary Edition of the Mass Effect Trilogy announced as a remaster to be released in 2021, but a new part of the science fiction series is also in development. And that will remain the case. However, who will take over the role of the new Creative Director is still unclear. However, Andromeda Producer Mike Gamble is expected to take on a larger role.

What does this mean for Dragon Age? Work is also continuing on the next part of the Dragon Age series. Christian Dailey, who Darrah says is a great leader, will take over from Mark Darrah. Darrah is confident that the team can develop the best Dragon Age of all time.

What will happen to Anthem is not revealed in the two blog entries by Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah. The game is currently undergoing a major overhaul.

Both the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age 4 are still in development. Whether the departure of Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah will have an impact on the games and their direction remains to be seen. Very little is still known about both games.

What do you think? Will the departure of Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah affect the new Mass Effect and Dragon Age games?

Things at BioWare seem to have been a bit chaotic for some time. An insider report on the development of Anthem already caught the fans’ attention.

Dead by Daylight now has its first double killer – he is really nasty

Cortyn 4. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The Twins are now killing in Dead by Daylight. Survivors are getting reinforcements and must face two killers at the same time, being doubly on guard.

It has been a long-held wish of the players of Dead by Daylight to be able to face off against two killers at the same time. This wish has now been fulfilled – although not in the way the players expected. The new killer “The Twins” is now live. The duo is now rampaging on the live servers.

Link to the YouTube content

What can the Twins do? The conjoined twins are actually fused together, but the entity allows them to separate. Most of the time, the player controls Charlotte, the main body of the two. She is a standard killer with standard abilities. However, if desired, the killer can switch to Victor and climb out of Charlotte’s body.

Then, the small but extremely agile Victor is controlled, who can pounce on his enemies and pin them for a short time. Already wounded characters will go down in the process. However, Victor can also be left behind on the map to serve as a “lookout” and reveal the location of nearby survivors. However, Victor is also vulnerable. Left alone or after a failed attack, he is stunned and can be destroyed by the survivors. He will then reappear in Charlotte’s body after a while.

The killer’s new perks: Like all killers, the Twins also come with three unique perks:

Hoarder: Two additional chests spawn in the match, and the quality of the items in the chests is reduced. The killer gets a signal when a survivor starts searching a chest within a radius of 24 / 36 / 48 meters.
Suppression: When the killer damages a generator, up to 3 additional generators are damaged. If there are survivors at these generators, they receive a difficult skill check. This perk can only be used once every 120 / 100 / 80 seconds.
Mercy Kill: Each time a generator is fully repaired, the killer receives a token. He can use one token to increase the attack range of his next strong attack by 40% / 50% / 60%.

We have the best perks for killers for you here.

The survivors’ new perks: Also, the survivor Elodie Beamount has three standalone perks that she brings into the fog. They are:

Assessment: The survivor starts the round with 3 tokens. If a chest is already opened, a token can be used to search that chest again. Additionally, the survivor opens chests 40% / 60% / 80% faster.
Deception: While the survivor is sprinting, he cannot enter lockers, but only creates a loud noise at the location of the locker. For the next 3 seconds, the survivor leaves no scratch marks. Deception can only be triggered once every 60 / 50 / 40 seconds.
Wilderness Wriggle: When the survivor is carried by the killer, he must wriggle free up to 35% / 30% / 25% to activate the perk. Once done, the survivor can knock over a nearby standing pallet – if one is available – to stun the killer and free himself. Then the perk is deactivated.

How much does the DLC cost? Anyone wanting to play as the Twins and the new survivor must pay around €7, as usual. However, both characters can also be unlocked through in-game currency, but this may take dozens of play hours. Those who like to unlock new characters or already have many points saved up can also take advantage of this option.

Patch brings new bugs: As has become a “good old tradition” at Dead by Daylight, the latest patch has also brought some new bugs. For instance, the grabbing animation of the killers seems to be even more buggy and often breaks off. Additionally, all killers with a special chase music (like Demogorgon or Oni) now hear the music that only the survivors should hear during chases.

It is to be expected that an initial patch will follow in the coming days. After all, the developers still have a larger problem to fix.

Update improves Destiny 2 on PS5 & Xbox Series X, but the download is huge

Sven Galitzki 4. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Destiny 2 will soon receive its next-gen upgrade for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. This should allow the game to run better on the new consoles, but you will essentially need to download it completely anew.

What is the next-gen upgrade for Destiny 2 about? Next Tuesday, December 8th, Destiny 2 will receive the new major update 3.0.1. This patch addresses several issues from Destiny 2, Beyond Light, and Season 12, but also includes the long-awaited next-gen upgrade for the new consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.

This will allow Destiny 2 to run better on the next-gen consoles, and the game should finally take advantage of the new technical opportunities. For example, higher FPS, true 4K resolution, or a FoV slider. You can find out more about it here: Upgrade for PS5 & Xbox Series X comes in December – What’s included

But before you can enjoy Destiny 2 in better quality on the new consoles, a download awaits you. And for the next-gen, this will be gigantic.

This will be the size of the new update 3.0.1 for next-gen: In short: On PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, you will essentially need to download the entire game again – even if you’re already playing it there. The patch download size for update 3.0.1 is

for Xbox Series X and S: approximately 70.0 GB
for PlayStation 5: approximately 67.0 GB

These will also be the final installation sizes of Destiny 2 on next-gen.

This will be the size of the new update on other platforms: However, the gigantic download does not affect players on Steam (PC), Xbox One, or PlayStation 4. The size of update 3.0.1 there is as follows:

Xbox One: Approximately 2.35 GB
PS4: Approximately 2.09 GB
PC (Steam): Approximately 1.5 GB

Is there a preload? If you are on next-gen consoles, you need to be very brave now and depending on the connection, possibly bring a lot of time: Because no, there will be no preload for this patch – neither on next-gen nor on the other platforms.

The update goes live on December 8 at 6:00 PM German time, so right with the weekly reset, and it may take a while before it is downloaded on the new console generation, and then you can finally hit the ground running on next-gen.

By the way, what Destiny 2 has to offer this year, you can find out here: Destiny 2 in December – These contents await you until 2021

Gloria Victis, a medieval MMORPG, launches Beta on Steam – Who is it interesting for?

Alexander Leitsch 3. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The MMORPG Gloria Victis (PC) has been in Early Access on Steam for several years, but has now transitioned from Alpha to Beta. This shifts the focus of development. Moreover, the release is expected to take place in just a few months.

What kind of MMORPG is this? Gloria Victis is an indie MMORPG set in a medieval world. However, it aims for realism, so you will have to forgo spells, giant monsters, and flashy effects.

Instead, the sandbox aspects are in focus:

You manage huge castles and must pay attention to the morale of the inhabitants
Other players can besiege and conquer the castles
Generally, PvP is possible everywhere in the world, with Gloria Victis relying on an action combat system
There are PvE content like group quests, events, and raids
Crafting plays an important role
You develop your heroes based on skills. There are no classes

An overview of all the content in the game is provided by this graphic, created by the developers in November 2020:

Gloria Victis – An MMORPG for medieval fans

Who is the MMORPG interesting for? Gloria Victis primarily targets PvP and medieval fans who do not place a strong emphasis on graphics. It is evident that Gloria Victis is developed by a small team.

The MMORPG is also Buy2Play (costs 19.99 euros on Steam) and offers a shop with cosmetic upgrades. There is no Pay2Win.

A glimpse into the game is provided by the YouTuber TheLazyPeon, whose video was recorded in January 2020:

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

How is the MMORPG performing on Steam? The MMORPG has been in Early Access on Steam since 2016. In recent months, it has consistently had around 320 active players, with peaks of up to 520 online at the same time (via Steamcharts).

Although that doesn’t sound like a lot, the community is very engaged and rates the game positively (71% positive votes from 4,104 reviews).

What is changing in the game? As the developers announced in their 250th Weekly Update, Gloria Victis transitioned from Alpha to Beta on December 3.

This shifts the developers’ focus and is intended to bring the MMORPG closer to completion. The Beta is expected to last “a few months” and then lead to leaving Early Access.

Increased focus on optimizations – New content is planned

What does the Beta mean? The developers are now focusing on bug fixes, optimization, performance, and technical updates. They also intend to pay more attention to player feedback.

Only part of the team is still working on new features. However, the developers view Gloria Victis as a “Game as a Service” and intend to implement regular updates during and after the Beta.

What happened with the transition to Beta? With the Beta, a new “Glory Season” began, and the leaderboard was reset. It’s a good time to start with the MMORPG. Additionally, there were numerous bug fixes and small “Quality of Life” adjustments.

Gloria Victis has so far only been released on Steam. It is among the smaller MMORPGs on the platform. However, we will also reveal which are the largest titles on the platform:

These 6 MMORPGs currently have the most players on Steam

LoL professional retires because he doesn’t get the desired teammate – Now he is coming after all

Alexander Leitsch 3. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The League of Legends player Yilang “Doublelift” Peng announced his retirement from professional gaming at the end of November. One reason for this was the debate surrounding a new support for him and his team TSM. But now the player Doublelift wished for has finally arrived.

What happened at TSM? The AD Carry Doublelift has been playing League of Legends since Season 1. That’s nearly 10 years ago. He was last contracted with the American team SoloMid. With this team, Doublelift won his eighth championship in the LCS in the summer of 2020.

He has significantly shaped the history of the LCS and is considered one of the most well-known, talented, and controversial LoL players in the West. But in November he announced his retirement:

There were rumors that this had to do with the signing of a new support player. Doublelift reportedly desired a foreign player who could still speak fluent English.
His preference would have been Hu “SwordArt” Shuo-Chieh. He is originally from Taiwan and last played for the Chinese team Suning, where he even reached the finals of Worlds.
However, the signing of the player seemed unlikely, and thus Doublelift ended his career.

Just one day after the retirement, however, TSM announced the signing of SwordArt. Doublelift reacted to this in a livestream, emphasizing that he still will not return to professional gaming.

“I am better off in retirement”

What did Doublelift say? In the livestream, Doublelift recounted the entire story surrounding his retirement:

The Worlds 2020 were a debacle for TSM. After the 0-6 defeat, the team’s midlaner Bjergsen announced his retirement. Doublelift also considered it.
However, the idea of SwordArt reportedly kept him hopeful. He claimed to want to play with the best roster that TSM could assemble.
However, the negotiations with SwordArt did not go well. The management then asked Doublelift whether he would stay with the team if Nguyễn “Palette” Hải Trung were to become the new support.
Doublelift thought the player was good and even claimed to have recommended him to TSM. But since he does not speak good English, the AD Carry decided against a new season.

How does Doublelift react to the transfer of SwordArt? At the time of his retirement, the professional player did not know that SwordArt would indeed be transferring. Due to his quality and good English skills, Doublelift had wished for this supporter so much.

But even in hindsight, he is still satisfied with his retirement:

The whole situation [surrounding SwordArt] made me realize: I am better off in retirement.

TSM is restructuring, a German player is joining

Many changes are happening this season for the American LoL team. The old veterans Bjergsen (24) and Doublelift (27) are gone, and the top laner Broken Blade (20) transferred to Schalke 04.

Joining is the German mid laner Tristan “PowerOfEvil” Schrage, who is to replace Bjergsen. Also new is the top laner Heo “Huni” Seung-hoon, who played for Fnatic in 2015 and for T1 in 2016.

In addition, there were many changes in the support position. The supporters Erik “Treatz” Wessén and Vincent “Biofrost” Wang have left the team. They alternated playing for TSM. They will be replaced by the aforementioned SwordArt, who is reportedly to receive $6 million for a 2-year contract.

The only unclear situation is around the AD Carry position. Doublelift currently leaves a gap there. Who will fill it is not known at this time.

While we in western LoL primarily discuss player transfers, there is a major legal case against a coach in South Korea. He is accused of having choked a player.

WoW adjusts drop rates for legendaries – Here you can get them easier now

Benedict Grothaus 3. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A hotfix for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has increased the drop rates for legendary effects. The memories you need will now drop significantly more often with the increasing difficulty of a dungeon. It will get even better in the future.

Here is the change: On the evening of December 3rd, Blizzard deployed a hotfix for World of Warcraft. This increases the drop chance for legendary effects depending on the difficulty of the dungeon you enter:

Heroic dungeons have a significantly higher chance than normal
Mythic dungeons have a significantly higher chance than heroic
Mythic Keystone dungeons have an even higher and increasing chance

The Keystone dungeons (“Mythic+”) can only be entered starting December 9th. According to the official post in the forum, the chance will continue to increase the higher you play the Keystone.

Why do I need this? The legendary effects are one of the resources you need for crafting Legendaries in WoW. They determine what effect the armor piece you are crafting has. You can find out exactly how it works in our detailed guide on crafting Legendaries in Shadowlands.

Legendaries: Easier to farm through heroic dungeons

Which Legendaries are affected? According to Blizzard, the change only applies to legendary effects you receive from dungeons. Torghast and world bosses are not affected. You can check if your top effects are affected in our list of the best Legendaries for each class.

Farming will now be significantly easier for many effects, especially since there is no daily lockout for heroic dungeons anymore. If you are still missing an important effect, you can run the “HC dungeon” as often as you like.

What does this do for me? With the change about a week before the raid opens and the start of Mythic+, you can now prepare in time for the new endgame content.

If you already have everything you need, you can use the time to prepare further or level up a second character to have a bit of choice. However, there is still plenty to do until Castle Nathria opens its gates. If you are feeling lost, here are 5 things you should do in week 2 of Shadowlands.

CoD Warzone: 2 professional setups make the AUG one of the best weapons the SMG

Maik Schneider 3. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

The submachine gun AUG was among the absolute top weapons at the release of Call of Duty: Warzone, but fell off after a nerf. 2 pro players show with their setups that it is still a blast in Battle Royale.

Update January 15: If you are looking for a setup for the AUG from Cold War, you will find a strong attachment combination in another special, with replacement weapons for the nerfed DMR 14.

Why was the AUG so powerful at the release of Warzone? The submachine gun rumbled through the first weeks as a strong assault rifle replacement in Call of Duty: Warzone, boasting outstanding time-to-kill values (TTK).

A nerf put the weapon back on track: it maintained its top damage values but lost its outstanding control.

What makes it still strong? The AUG continues to benefit from its high damage and is very controllable at short range. It also offers better range than the top choice MP5 and is particularly interesting for Warzone players who cannot make use of the MP5.

It is one of the strong alternatives for combat distances up to 20 meters, along with the MP7 and the P90:

MP5: Best TTK, but low range and a bit wobbly
MP7: Nice stability and 60-round magazine
P90: Extremely stable, but somewhat weak TTK
AUG: Good mix of control and TTK

If you play with SMGs in Warzone as a secondary weapon, you should definitely check out the AUG. MeinMMO has found 2 tested pro setups for you, with which the submachine gun is absolutely competitive and ranks among the best weapons in Warzone at short distances.

AUG setups for Warzone that can compete with the MP5

Which setup should I try? To provide you with strong setups, we looked at how major Warzone YouTubers play the MP. We then tested the setups ourselves to assess recoil and overall playability.

The first setup comes from “Nickmercs”, one of the largest streamers and YouTubers in Warzone, who also participates as a pro player in many tournaments at the highest level. The second comes from “Swagg”, who also runs a significant YouTube channel with CoD content and frequently competes at major tournaments.

Warzone: Nickmercs’ AUG setup

Muzzle: Silencer (Monolithic)
Barrel: Extended 407mm Barrel
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Grip: Rubberized Grip Tape
Perk: Sleight of Hand

What does the Nickmercs setup bring? The AUG is quite rough without attachments for better aim and does not feel particularly comfortable to play. The barrel and underbarrel give the weapon the control it needs.

Together with the silencer, you also increase the range for the first damage range to nearly 18 meters. In this range, you take down enemies with 3 plates in about 570 milliseconds. The MP5, with its most popular setup from November 2020, already takes 680 milliseconds at about 10 meters.

The grip tape gives back a bit of the aim speed that you lose with the barrel and silencer. To not burden the weapon further, a larger magazine and sight are also missing. The Iron Sight (Iron & Sights) works fine at short ranges and the somewhat sparse ammunition in the magazine is balanced out again by the perk “Sleight of Hand”.

If you want to see the weapon in action, check out the English gameplay video from Nickmercs:

Warzone: Swagg’s AUG setup

Muzzle: Silencer (Monolithic)
Laser: Tactical Laser
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammo: 5.56 NATO 30 Round Magazine
Perk: Sleight of Hand

What does the Swagg setup bring? The pro Warzone player gets more damage on his bullets with the 5.56 conversion kit and also has 5 more rounds in the magazine. This makes the weapon a bit slower, but the tactical laser balances that out.

For better recoil control, the commando underbarrel is sufficient for this setup. Overall, the Swagg setup tends to go sideways a bit more but offers less vertical recoil. Both versions can be easily controlled, and you can easily engage enemies in the crucial 20-meter range of SMGs and maintain your aim.

To compensate for the somewhat small magazine, Swagg also relies on the perk “Sleight of Hand”. If you want to see some gameplay of that setup, check out the English video from Swagg:

AUG compared to other meta weapons

Where does the AUG stand compared to other strong weapons? Especially the AUG with the 5.56 ammunition comes very close to the MP5 in TTK. However, you get a bit more range. In combat against strong shotguns, like the R9-0 with Dragon’s Breath, you can maintain enough distance from the enemy and still benefit from the strong first damage range. The AUG without 5.56 ammo is exactly on MP7 level:

Both options presented in this article thus represent excellent and stable alternatives to the sweat weapon MP5 and can easily compete with the other strong Warzone SMGs.

If you haven’t had the AUG in your loadout so far and are always looking for improvements that match your playstyle, you should try using the AUG in Warzone. However, once you exceed 20 meters, assault rifles or light machine guns with high stability usually take the lead. For that range, you can find the 10 most stable weapons in Warzone ranked here.

RTX 3060 Ti: Nvidia introduces new graphics card – sold out within minutes

Benedikt Schlotmann 3. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Especially for gamers who want to play in Full HD with very high frame rates beyond 100 FPS, the graphics card is a worthwhile investment.

RTX 3060 Ti: Alternate, Saturn and Co. Offer Limited Stock

Is the graphics card still available for purchase? Even among German retailers, there are hardly any available RTX graphics cards, as many are interested in the new graphics cards after the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 were quickly sold out.

Currently, as of 3.12.2020, Alternate is offering only the RTX 3060 Ti from Gainward; other graphics cards are not available at Alternate at this time:

Gainward GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Phoenix GS for 619,- at Alternate

But it’s not just Nvidia that has supply issues with the new GPUs. Competitors also face similar concerns. AMD has been struggling with high demand since the launch of the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT. The graphics cards were immediately sold out and there continues to be a large demand for the graphics card.

Mit einem Einkaufswagen markierte Links sind so genannte Affiliate-Links. Beim Kauf über diese Links erhalten wir je nach Anbieter eine kleine Provision – ohne Auswirkung auf den Preis. More info.

Nvidia releases the RTX 3060 Ti with high WQHD performance for 400 euros. However, the graphics card is sold out just a few minutes later. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition is also gone. This repeats the pattern seen with the RTX 3080 and the RX 6800 XT.

The RTX 3060 Ti is a fast, efficient graphics card that offers a similarly high gaming performance as the RTX 2080 Super, but at a significantly lower price.

Here’s the deal: Nvidia has released its mid-range graphics card, the RTX 3060 Ti. This is a graphics card that aims to compete primarily with AMD in the mid-range WQHD sector. GameStar praises the high performance of the new graphics card in their review.

However, many interested buyers will not get their hands on the RTX 3060 Ti, as the graphics card is sold out just moments later (via gamerant.com).

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti: Why It’s So In Demand

The main reason is the price of the new graphics card. Nvidia sets the original price of the RTX 3060 Ti at 400 US dollars, offering a very good price-performance ratio. This follows the same approach as with the RTX 3080. Nvidia’s high-end graphics card was also sold out shortly after its launch.

This is especially evident when comparing the graphics card with other models:

The RTX 3060 Ti offers a similarly strong performance as the RTX 2080 Super, which cost around 699 US dollars at launch, 300 US dollars more than the RTX 3060 Ti.
Additionally, the graphics card offers about 40% more power than the RTX 2060 Super, which costs about the same.

Especially for gamers who want to play in Full HD with very high frame rates beyond 100 FPS, the graphics card is a worthwhile investment.

Is the hottest new MMORPG for PC and PS5 really no MMORPG anymore?

Schuhmann 3. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

The creators of Black Desert, Pearl Abyss, presented their second new MMORPG in 2019: Crimson Desert was set to be released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. It looked a bit like Game of Thrones meets Red Dead Redemption 2. Now there should be new information about the game, but it is now referred to as an “Open World Action Adventure.”

This is Crimson Desert: In August 2019, Pearl Abyss announced that they would bring 4 new MMOs in the coming years. They had just made enough money with the MMORPG Black Desert that they could buy the western MMORPG EVE Online. They were now considered “big global players.”

Pearl Abyss was set to announce a new engine and a whole lineup of exciting new games. The most exciting new project they introduced was Crimson Desert:

It was to be Pearl Abyss’s 2nd major MMORPG
Crimson Desert was supposed to be released for PC and “consoles,” actually hinting at a release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X
It was to be a “prequel” to Black Desert, set in the same world, but long before the time of the online role-playing game
A first trailer showed a dark and brutal world – the visuals were reminiscent of Game of Thrones

It was said that players would lead a mercenary group in Crimson Desert and could interact with the hired fighters and other NPCs. Thus, the idea arose that the player would lead a “gang,” similar to Red Dead Redemption 2
In interviews, representatives from Pearl Abyss later said: The focus of Crimson Desert is on PvE, the story is more important than in Black Desert – although there is PvP, the focus is on fighting monsters

No more talk of “MMO,” just “Open World Action Adventure”

This is now new: Crimson Desert has released a new teaser trailer that points to a redesigned website (via crimsondesert). In the trailer and on the site, all references to “MMO” or “MMORPG” are missing.

In the YouTube channel description and on the South Korean website for Crimson Desert, it is now referred to as an “Upcoming Open World Action-Adventure.”

Welcome to the official YouTube channel of Crimson Desert, an upcoming open world action-adventure by Pearl Abyss.
YouTube channel description of Crimson Desert

In the first trailer, Crimson Desert was still clearly introduced as an “MMORPG” – such references are now completely absent.

In the YouTube comments, players demand a “better version of Black Desert,” but some are already asking: Is this still an MMO? (via youtube)

There is still no official statement from Pearl Abyss.

If Crimson Desert really is an action-adventure, then another MMORPG hope dies here before the release.

Even the “Magic-MMORPG” turned out to be an “Action-MMO” in a second presentation in January 2020.

The 5 new MMOs and MMORPGs for 2022 with the best prospects

von Schuhmann

This is behind it: From the beginning, the concept of “leading a mercenary gang” seemed contrary to an MMORPG. The trailer also seemed to suggest that there was a fixed main character in focus: The young man who strongly resembles Jon Snow from Game of Thrones.

How an MMORPG with a “fixed main character” is supposed to work is puzzling. They can’t all look the same and act the same.

In 2019, Crimson Desert was still advertised everywhere with “MMORPG,” now a genre designation is deliberately missing: The “Open World Action-Adventure” is relatively well hidden.

The basic idea of Crimson Desert reminded us early on of “Red Dead Redemption 2” with a focus on NPCs and stories. It is quite possible that the game has developed even more strongly in this direction over the past year.

Actually, Pearl Abyss specializes in MMOs and MMORPGs. They have not done anything else so far. But the South Koreans have had a lot of success in North America and Europe. Maybe it is a conscious decision to “go west” and introduce an action-adventure in a fantasy world here. It probably has already reached South Korea that these do super well here.

We will probably receive certainty on December 10: A further presentation of Crimson Desert is scheduled during the Video Game Awards. Perhaps we will still see elements of an MMORPG or at least a multiplayer mode.

Lost-Ark-Monster — This is Lost Ark – many are looking forward to it.

For Crimson Desert, we can expect new information in 2020, but a release is not expected for some time anyway. Even if Crimson Desert is now dropped, 2021 could still be a strong MMORPG year:

The price gouging of the PS5 on eBay remains – Sellers exploit scarcity

Patrick Freese 3. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

If you want to buy a PS5 console on eBay, you have to dig deep into your pockets. Prices from €700 to €1,000 are not uncommon.

What’s going on eBay? Currently, many players are looking for deals to purchase Sony’s new PlayStation 5. Here and there, new consoles are arriving at retailers again. As on December 3rd in the 4th wave of the PS5.

However, the offers are limited and sold out within minutes.

The unfortunate part? People who managed to grab one of the coveted game consoles during the console shortage are selling them on eBay. They take them away from those who simply want to play and hold them out for sometimes more than double the purchase price.

Thus, the PS5 was offered on eBay for up to €2,500, five times the original price. Many gamers and also readers here on MeinMMO demand therefore that these traders put a stop to the gouging prices.

What do the offers look like?

This is what eBay shows: If you simply search for “PS5” on eBay, you will find numerous offers there. If you sort by “newly listed”, you’ll see consoles that were bought today, on December 3rd, and are already being put “in the bay”.

Some of these will only be available for delivery from December 19th.

In these offers, there is no secret that the consoles are still in their original packaging and even sealed. It is often clearly stated that the buyers are still waiting for the arrival of their order and want to resell it directly.

In the auctions, you can read sentences like:

“Bought at a well-known electronics retailer. Delivery is scheduled for December 18th. Shipping will occur no later than the next working day after receipt of payment via DHL.”

“The PS5 has just arrived, so NOW available”

“The delivery date confirmed by the Expert online shop is in KW 51. Therefore, this is the last opportunity to get a PS5 before Christmas.”

“The PS5 was only unpacked and tested for functionality – immediately available!”

For many people who simply want to play PS5, this is a problem. Because these “resellers” buy the console just to sell it at a higher price. Since they are unavailable from the big retailers, they exploit the scarcity.

What does eBay say about it? These “problems” surrounding the trade of the PS5 are not new. We already reported on this on November 25th. At that time, players were already calling on eBay to ban the gouging prices.

Subsequently, we from MeinMMO inquired at eBay and asked for a statement on the matter. They told us on November 25th that eBay had already responded this year with a new guideline regarding price gouging. However, this only applies to necessary items or things for daily needs.

We place great emphasis on reasonable pricing and ensure that current developments are always in line with eBay policies. Where this is not the case, we will take appropriate action. This year, we have introduced a guideline for price gouging.
This guideline applies exclusively to items considered necessary or items for daily needs, and only these items can be reported as price gouging. Since the PlayStation 5 does not meet the necessity of daily needs and no emergency is being exploited, this guideline does not apply here.
Response from eBay to the inquiry from MeinMMO

Those who were lucky enough to snag a console during the 3rd wave of the PS5 on Amazon may now have an email from the retailer in their inbox. Amazon brings good news about the delivery date of ordered PlayStation 5 consoles.

Fortnite: Complete bounties and collect gold bars in Season 5 – Here’s how

Eilyn Rapp 3. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In Season 5 – Chapter 2 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, you can complete bounties and collect gold bars. This is a new feature that rewards you with the currency that can be used in the game. We will show you how it works.

This is the new feature: The start of Season 5 brought a new opportunity that you can try out in the game. You will now become bounty hunters and can carry out missions for characters on the map.

When you talk to the characters, they will give you a mission. This marks the hunt for a specific player who is in your game. The goal is to eliminate them before the designated time runs out.

More on the topic

Fortnite: Here are the patch notes for Season 5 in English – Update 15.00

von Eilyn Rapp

Start the Bounty Hunt – Here’s How It Works

Where to find the quest givers? To start a hunt, you first need to find the NPC characters. They are spread across various locations on the map. However, you can use your mini-map as a guide, as a speech bubble will appear when an NPC is nearby.

There are certain locations where there is a high chance of finding a character. Since they can change their location, it’s not always guaranteed that you will find them at a specific spot again. They should appear at these locations:

How to start a hunt? Once you find a character on the map, you just need to stand in front of them and then interact with them. A selection wheel will open, where you can choose what you want from the NPC. To start a bounty hunt, select the “Bounty” option.

As soon as the mission is accepted, a timer will start. This will show you how much time you have to eliminate the target. Only if you succeed within the given time will you receive the reward for the job. The golden circle that appears on the map marks the area where your target is currently located.

Here you can see how such a bounty hunt takes place in the game:

Bounty hunting without NPCs: MeinMMO user “Wolve In The Wall” has another tip on how you can start bounty hunts in the game. This variant works without NPCs, by simply visiting bounty boards.

The boards are located in various places on the map. So far, the following locations are known:

North of Camp Cod, by the small wooden bridge (Grid F7)
Northwest of Dirty Docks (Grid H3)
West of Retail Row, by the green bridge (Grid G4/F4)

We at MeinMMO will continue to update the list as more locations for bounty hunts are found. If you find a board that is not listed here, you can let us know in the comments. We will then add it here.

Important: If you fail to eliminate the target in time, the player will receive a gold bar for surviving. You go empty-handed and will have to start a new hunt.

What are Gold Bars and how do you get them?

This is the new currency: Bars were introduced at the start of Season 5. They serve as a currency that can only be used in a single game round. You cannot purchase them with real money – they do not work like V-Bucks. Data miners had found this currency some time ago in the data.

The new bounty characters accept gold bars as payment. The bars can be used for the following items:

Exotic weapons
Upgrades
Services: Bodyguards for protection
Information

How to get gold bars? You can earn bars by successfully completing bounty hunts, eliminating opponents, or finding secret supplies on the island. Additionally, you earn one gold bar each time a bounty is placed on you, provided you survive the hunt.

For a successful bounty hunt, you get 70 gold bars
Search chests, as they also drop gold bars
Using your pickaxe, destroy items like beds, sofas, or cash registers to find more bars
Eliminated players also drop bars with their loot
Complete the challenges that reward you with gold bars

Important: The gold bars you find in a round can be stacked and carried over to the next rounds. You can collect as many as possible. However, in Arena mode, you lose all bars after a round.

Once you have collected enough of them, you can use them for cool weapons or upgrades. If you prefer bodyguards, you can hire them for gold bars.

In another challenge, you are required to find the Razor Crest. There you should also find an NPC who can give you a bounty mission. In our guide, we will show you where the location is, so you can complete the task and also start a bounty hunt.

Pokémon GO throws out 75 Pokémon from nests – This is the new list

Noah Struthoff 3. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the nests have undergone a major overhaul. Over 70 Pokémon have been removed as potential nest Pokémon. We will show you all the monsters that can appear in nests.

What are nests? These are places in Pokémon GO where a monster tends to appear very frequently. Almost all parks or green spaces that you have in your city are nests. A Pokémon then appears there more often, which is the nest Pokémon.

What has changed: Not all monsters in Pokémon GO can appear in nests. Previously, there were 100 monsters that could be considered nest Pokémon. A rotation occurred every 2 weeks, with new Pokémon coming into the nests from the list.

However, the nests have now been fundamentally changed. Instead of 100 possible monsters, there are now only 29 Pokémon that can appear in nests.

List of all possible nest Pokémon

This has been noticed: For the release of Generation 6 the nests were changed. Generally, the nests rotated one more time, but some Pokémon were completely removed from the rotation.

On reddit there is now a thread listing 29 Pokémon that currently appear in nests. Among them are also some monsters that have never appeared in nests before. Over 70 Pokémon have, however, disappeared from the nest list.

This is the list: We will include all the Pokémon here that have currently been found in nests:

Generation	Pokémon
1st Generation	Bulbasaur Charmander Squirtle Pikachu Clefairy Quaputzi Machop Seadra Staryu Eevee
2nd Generation	Chinchou Shuckle Qwilfish Houndoom Phanphy Donphan
3rd Generation	Treecko Torchic Mudkip Poochyena Makuhita Shroomish (new as nest Pokémon) Corphish (new as nest Pokémon) Swablu (new as nest Pokémon)
4th Generation	Turtwig Chimchar Piplup Stunky Snorunt (new as nest Pokémon)

You should keep in mind: The data here only refers to a nest change. The list might look completely different at the next change.

However, previously each prior nest change had significantly more Pokémon discovered in nests. It is definitely interesting that there are now significantly fewer nest Pokémon.

Is such a change good? For the general player base, it is definitely a good thing. Many “junk” Pokémon have been removed from the nests. Starters from the 2nd and 5th generations no longer appear in nests. Those who have enough candies for them will probably be pleased about this.

All in all, there are now significantly more Pokémon in nests that can be shiny. Only a few monsters, like Phanphy, Swablu, or Corphish appear in nests but cannot be shiny.

For individual trainers who hoped for a specific nest Pokémon that was removed, this is certainly not good news. However, one can hope that Niantic will revise the list again later.

In December, you will find new field research in Pokémon GO. We give you the overview:

Phantasy Star Online 2 will be expanded in 2021 with “New Genesis” – But what exactly is behind it?

Andreas Bertits 3. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In just a few days, you will experience the end of the story of the online role-playing game Phantasy Star Online 2 (PC, Xbox One), before it continues in 2021 with “New Genesis.” We will reveal what the expansion is about.

What is New Genesis? Next year, Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis will be released. This will overhaul the old version, provide new graphics, and make it more modern. At the same time, there will be completely new game content.

New Genesis takes place 1,000 years after PSO 2 and starts a new storyline. Instead of traveling through small zones, there will be a huge open world. Everything related to EXP, skills, and techniques will be overhauled.

Players can experience the new content with their old character or create a new one. It should be possible to switch between the old content and New Genesis in the game, although not all equipment and cosmetics will function in both games. Additionally, content such as friends list, block list, and the premium account will be shared between both games.

A livestream on December 19 will introduce the concept of New Genesis in more detail.

https://youtu.be/3quyigmEEL8

This is what the remaster Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis looks like.

What to expect before New Genesis

Before the launch of New Genesis, the current story of PSO 2 will be completed. The new Episode 6 will be released soon. In this, you will engage in the final battle for the fate of the ARKs, which could even impact the entire universe.

Afterwards, “New Genesis” will be released in 2021.

These innovations await you:

You will encounter new enemies with new abilities and unique skills
New quests will be added to the game
There will be a special level-up quest that grants you a 200% EXP bonus and many rewards
Summoners can summon the two new pets Herbie and Vulcan
The level cap will be raised to 95
Quests will receive a new difficulty level, Ultra-Hard
The two classes Etoile and Phantom will be introduced

When is the update coming? You can dive into the adventures of Episode 9 of the online role-playing game Phantasy Star Online 2 starting December 9 and try out the innovations such as the two classes.

When will “New Genesis” be released? New Genesis currently does not have a release date. It was only said that it should be released in 2021 and that it will be available for Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.

In addition to the online role-playing game PSO 2, 4 more MMORPGs were released this year. We have introduced them to you:

Destiny 2: Players find an extremely nasty Stasis combo that will kill you instantly

Philipp Hansen 3. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, you now need to watch out for a “forbidden hunter technique”. We explain why it’s called that and how it works.

First, you need to be careful: Those who venture into the Crucible now will face numerous Stasis Hunters who can freeze everything. It’s already frustrating to see your opponent gleefully building up in front of you and then transforming you into a helpless ice sculpture that shatters into a thousand pieces.

But recently, a new stasis technique has been making the rounds that is even nastier. To die from the so-called “forbidden hunter technique” or “the Drewsky,” you don’t even need to be frozen. Even without line of sight, Stasis Hunters can knock you out with just one hit at any time.

This is how it works: Through a combination of aspects and fragments, the new Revenant class can create wide-ranging ice crystals and destroy them in less than a second. The resulting explosion is enough to instantly kill everything within a few meters.

What you need for the new Wombo Combo in Destiny 2:

The Glacier Grenade of your Stasis Revenant: Creates a large ice wall
The Aspect “Shatter Dive”: You can rush down from the air and shatter all Stasis constructs in the vicinity
The Fragment “Whisper of Rifts”: Increases damage and size of the Stasis explosion when you destroy a Stasis crystal or defeat a frozen target
The Fragment “Whisper of Fragments”: Shattering a Stasis crystal temporarily increases your grenade recharge rate

What is a Wombo Combo?

In video games, the term “Wombo Combo” refers to a series of attacks or a chain of skills that, when executed correctly, are impossible to counter. Often, such a combination can take out the hopeless opponent directly.
In Destiny, it has become customary to refer to the combination of Smoke Grenade and Void Grenade of the Nightstalker as a Wombo Combo, since the suppressed and blinded opponent cannot escape the grenade damage. However, the term originally comes from Super Smash Bros.

This is how you play it: Equipped like this, throw a Glacier Grenade in the general direction of enemies. Then activate the Shatter Dive from the jump and land near the ice wall. It will explode in a large shatter explosion, sending everything in the vicinity to the virtual beyond.

You can use the “forbidden hunter technique” again in a short time with the equipped fragments – if you can handle any hate messages from your competitors.

Those who want to can invest in plenty of discipline and use the exotic boots “Fr0st-ee5” to charge your grenade extremely quickly.

Will this last in this form for long, or will it soon be adjusted, like recently with the Stasis Warlock? How to unlock fragments and aspects for your Stasis classes and what they can do, you can read here on MeinMMO:

Why is it called “forbidden hunter technique” or “doing the Drewsky”?

The nasty Stasis combo was most recently prominently used by the streamer and YouTuber Drewsky.

Other content creators, like the friendly Destiny expert Fallout, have now picked it up. His video on the subject is titled “The New Forbidden Hunter Technique…”.
The PvP crack Ascendant Nomad, known as the Crucible Doctor, titled his corresponding video: “How to do the Drewsky Dunk”.

That’s why it has tradition: Of course, Drewsky didn’t invent the combination, as he and the other content creators know. However, in the community, it has become a tradition to name such approaches after prominent users.

For example, “doing an nKuch” means quickly firing with a sniper rifle and immediately following up with a hand cannon.
So not sniping precisely, but rather landing a comparatively easier body shot, immediately switching weapons, and then finishing off the wounded target with the primary weapon.
It is named after the well-known YouTuber nKuch.

Have you already fallen victim to the new Wombo Combo, or are you using the nasty technique yourself? Do you think that the Stasis Hunter will soon end up like the Warlock and that Bungie won’t leave it like this in the game?

How is the Steam MMORPG Arcfall 3 years after EA launch?

Andreas Bertits 3. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In 2017, the MMORPG Arcfall entered Early Access. However, it wasn’t well received by MeinMMO readers. Now, more than 3 years later, let’s see what has become of the title.

What is Arcfall? The sandbox MMORPG emphasizes community interaction, as every player should be an important part of the economy. While you explore the vast world, you gather resources and craft essential items for other players to sell. Additionally, you experience exciting adventures by fighting against monsters. PvP and guild wars are also important.

Arcfall has no classes. You can freely improve your hero based on skills. You can even acquire your own house and decorate it according to your ideas.

This is what the MMORPG Arcfall looks like in 2020.

The current status of the MMORPG Arcfall

How did the game resonate with you? When we introduced Arcfall in May 2017, your reactions on MeinMMO were as follows:

Longard wrote: “Brazen Albion Online clone. Might as well sue immediately.”
Nirraven commented: “The gameplay doesn’t look that great.”
Andy Boultgen thought: “This is going into EA and will stay there forever.”

He wasn’t entirely wrong, as even today, in December 2020, Arcfall is still in Early Access.

What is the current status of the game? In terms of player numbers, the MMORPG currently does not look good according to Steamcharts. The Early Access version on Steam had only 2.9 concurrent players in the past 30 days. The peak was at 9 players.

The ratings on Steam are currently at 58% “Mixed.”.

The release, which was initially planned for late 2020, will happen later. When, the developers cannot say yet. However, it is planned to definitely release Arcfall. Over the years, there have also been updates with new content.

These include:

more quests
instanced housing instead of building houses in the open world
the ability to quickly switch tools
seasonal dungeons and more

Further features are also planned. This includes giving players access to kingdoms where they can settle and further develop them. Additionally, players are expected to receive their own dungeons.

Arcfall still has a future, and we hope that players will give the MMORPG a chance.

WoW: The new endgame feature Torghast is a big disappointment

Cortyn 3. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The Tower Torghast in WoW: Shadowlands is popular among many players. But the ending is disappointing.

WoW: Shadowlands has been live for over a week now, and most players have left the leveling phase behind and have reached the endgame. Especially visits to the Tower Torghast are regularly on the agenda, to craft legendary items. But as much as Torghast is praised, the ending feels unsatisfying – at least that is what many players in the WoW subreddit think.

What is the problem? Torghast inundates players with cool abilities and challenging tasks that become increasingly exciting and demanding towards the end. However, the end comes without a cool climax. Instead of a summary of achievements or a chest containing loot, there is only the “Leave” screen at the end. This is quite unsatisfying and leaves a feeling of emptiness.

von MeinMMO

What players are saying: In the WoW subreddit, there is lively discussion about Torghast. A post by user Roar_of_Shiva has over 5,000 upvotes and a 99% approval rate. He writes:

It feels quite anticlimactic when you finish a run and are simply ejected from the tower. A recap screen would significantly enhance the experience of the tower, showing you what Anima powers you had, how many enemies you killed, and how much damage and healing you dealt.

There is a lot of agreement on this, along with further suggestions for improvement, such as from Erva420:

Yes, and it’s also strange that you kill the boss and nothing really happens. You simply go out through the portal. I mean, these are really the basics of roguelike games. Come on, Blizz.

The desire for a chest or similar conclusion is great, even if this chest only contains the Soul Ash that the boss would otherwise drop. Thus, Sheth1984 notes, receiving much agreement:

Lol, it’s fascinating and at the same time a psychological fact that a big fat chest with Soul Ash would fix this, haha.

Is more to come? Torghast is still not fully present in the game. The last section, the “Twisted Corridors,” will only appear with the start of Season 1. The Twisted Corridors are 18 levels each instead of just 6, making for a longer endeavor. At the same time, you cannot earn Soul Ash here, but you can get plenty of cosmetic rewards, such as pets, toys, and even mounts.

Would you like a different “conclusion” for the Torghast runs? What do you think the perfect ending would look like?

Our author Alexander Leitsch really likes Shadowlands – even if he has no clue what he’s actually doing.
