Diablo 3: Which class are you playing in Season 22? Ask the Wheel of Fate

Patrick Freese 17. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The start of Season 22 in Diablo 3 is just around the corner. It begins this week. Vote and let us know which class you will play, or consult the Wheel of Fate if you need help deciding.

What’s happening in Diablo 3? On Friday, November 20, 2020, Season 22 launches in Diablo 3. Given this time, some players are now asking: Which class will I choose to play in Season 22?

We want to find out in this article if you have already made a choice. If not, we offer you the Wheel of Fate to let chance decide your class choice.

What you need to know for class selection

Large selection of starter sets: In the past, players used the selection of starter sets as a guide for which class they wanted to play. The class that had the better or newer set in the selection at Haedrig’s Gift was often a favorite.

In Season 22, the selection is harder, as each of the seven classes receives the newest set as a starter set. So, if you have taken a few seasons off, you will discover some new play styles here.

For your reference, we link to the sets with the corresponding set bonuses here.

Barbarian – Horde of the Ninety Savages
Crusader – Aegis of Valor
Demon Hunter – Gear of Terror
Monk – Pattern of Justice
Witch Doctor – Mundunugu’s Regalia
Wizard – The Typhon’s Veil
Necromancer – Masquerade of the Burning Carnival

Balance changes? If the new sets alone aren’t enough reason to choose a class, you might find arguments for your choice in the balance changes.

Everything that changes in Season 22 of Diablo 3 with Patch 2.6.10.

Have you been away from Diablo 3 for a while and feel out of the loop? We have some exciting articles for you that will bring you up to date:

Which class will you play in S22?

Vote now: Only a few days separate you from the start of the new season. Participate in the poll here on MeinMMO and show us which class you want to play.

If you’re still undecided, there’s a Wheel of Fate further down. A spin on it will randomly select one of the seven possible classes for you.

You have one vote per user for the poll. If you want to play multiple classes in Season 22, just vote here for the class you are most excited about.

Ask Fate about your class for S22

This is what you can use: We are embedding a Wheel of Fate for you here. Well, actually, it’s just a kind of random wheel that spits out the name of a class after a few spins.

You simply click on the embedded wheel and it starts spinning. The class it stops on will then be your choice for Season 22. You can later still cast your vote for it in the poll above.

If you have made a decision for a specific class, feel free to share your reasoning in the comments here on MeinMMO, or seek advice from other players in the community.

Are you generally still undecided about whether you should return to the dark world? Season 22 finally brings cool content to Diablo 3 – Here’s why you should play it.

Schalke 04 could finally be strong in LoL in 2021 because TSM is starting over

Schuhmann 17. November 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

The Team Solo Mid blows up their setup in the League of Legends once again. TSM is reportedly replacing the top laner Broken Blade with Huni, a Korean veteran. This time, the German LoL team Schalke 04 will likely benefit from this. Broken Blade is supposed to join them, one of the biggest talents in German LoL.

What’s going on in LoL? The “trading season” has begun in LoL. Teams have been able to announce official transfers since yesterday. And there are transfers happening left and right, and the rumor mill is overflowing.

The most headlines are made by the reported transfer of EU star Perkz to Cloud 9 in the USA. But there is a lot happening besides that.

The transfers we present here are not official yet, but they are almost certain. The teams are already hinting at the transfers and making jokes about it. Insider Jacob Wolf, who reports on transfers in a barrage, is proud to have never been wrong in 5 years when announcing such transfers in advance.

The Team Solo Mid is looking for a new king

This is the situation at TSM: A team that is under tremendous pressure for the LoL year 2021 is “Team Solo Mid,” the most glorious team in North America. This is also the team with the biggest wallet, as is assumed:

For 3 years, TSM has been completely blowing up its team in the offseason and restructuring. TSM has been trying for years to connect with the “golden era” of 2016/2017, when TSM became champions in the US league LCS three times in a row.
Last year, TSM had a strong team together again, which won the LCS, but totally sank at the Worlds and embarrassed itself with a historic negative record.
After that, mid lane star Bjergsen announced his retirement. Bjergsen was not only considered the franchise player of TSM but also as “The King” and the most important figure in the team for years.
Now TSM is forced to change the lineup again and is switching not only the mid lane but also the top lane – once again, everything is revamped before a new year.

TSM allegedly acquires Huni, gives up Broken Blade

These are the changes at TSM:

It’s relatively clear how TSM will replace Bjergsen: One of the best German LoL players, Power of Evil, is supposed to join TSM and take over the mid lane. This has been known for some time, although it is not yet official.

New, however, is that TSM has signed the Korean Huni for the top lane. Huni (22) had his best time in 2016/2017 when he played for SKT1 in South Korea. However, he later moved to the West. There, he reportedly has been paid handsomely. It was said that Dignitas offered him a record sum: Huni is said to have earned more than one million US dollars a year.

What does this mean for Schalke? If Team Solo Mid has a new top laner, the old top laner is free.

The German-Turkish Broken Blade (20) is supposed to join Schalke 04 now. There he will replace Odoamne (25), who will move to Rogue.

At Schalke, they are already looking forward to the new top laner and are talking about how “broken” the top lane will be.

In fact, Broken Blade is considered a highly talented player – there is a good reason why TSM saw its future in him.

Schalke keeps its strongest player from 2020, gets 2 new ones

What will Schalke’s team look like? Allegedly, another player from the USA is supposed to join Schalke: The support player Limit (22) is expected to move from SK Gaming to Schalke (via dotesports).

Schalke has already extended contracts with mid laner Abbedagge and the star of the team, jungler Gilius.

Top laner Odoamne (25) has announced his transfer to Rogue.

If Broken Blade really comes, maybe the ADC spot would be free. Here, there was a back and forth between two rookie players in 2020.

https://twitter.com/S04Esports/status/1322209155059535872

Gilius is the star of Schalke, whose contract has been extended.

Is this good for Schalke? Broken Blade is considered a player on the rise with a lot of potential. Huni is considered more of a player whose best time is behind him, even though he is only 22.

In general, players who move from Asia or Europe to the USA are viewed critically, as the region is considered weak.

At TSM, much recently revolved around the top lane and Broken Blade – however, that hasn’t worked out, at least not on an international level.

Apparently, they are now planning a “new beginning” with different people and also a change in style. This will likely please the bot laner Doublelift.

During the Worlds 2020, “Team Solo Mid” reportedly fell apart because they were hopeless even in practice games. This had a disastrous effect on TSM’s morale, Doublelift said in his Twitch streams.

It could be that TSM is seeking a radical fresh start and wants to change more than just the mid lane.

The big beneficiary here is Schalke, who will get one of the possibly best German players.

Schalke had really turned things around after an extremely poor start in 2020. With Broken Blade, they could further strengthen a well-functioning team and possibly play a strong role in the EU league LEC in 2021.

With Broken Blade, they now have a star after the disastrous failure with FORG1VEN.

The major upswing at Schalke 04 was largely due to Erberk “Gilius” Demir (23). The jungler powered up, and with him, Schalke became one of the best teams in European LoL. Together with Broken Blade, a powerful team could emerge in Germany:

Schalke wins 7 games in a row in LoL, truly performing the miracle

FIFA 21: Bebou looks incredibly expensive – That’s why you should definitely go for it

Max Handwerk 17. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Ihlas Bebou has an exciting RTTF card in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. On the transfer market, it costs a significant amount of coins. However, the card could be worth its price.

This is the card: The Hoffenheim striker Ihlas Bebou has received a so-called “Road-to-the-Final” card in the Europa League version. Currently, it has an overall rating of 80 – but it has the potential to increase further. The further TSG Hoffenheim progresses in the Europa League, the stronger the Bebou card will become in FIFA 21.

This is how much the card costs: With an overall rating of 80, the card might not seem worth much at first glance. One might be surprised when seeing the price tag of currently around 96,000 coins. That’s how much Bebou is currently going for on the transfer market.

This is surprising, especially because the market in FIFA 21 is notoriously low. For comparison: The RTTF Bebou is thus more expensive than the standard cards of:

Robert Lewandowski (around 66,000 coins)
Joshua Kimmich (around 30,000)
Leroy Sané (around 14,000)
Marco Reus (around 10,000)

Great players who cost noticeably less. Is such an expensive card really worth it?

Why Bebou could be worth the money

What Bebou does well: First, the question arises as to why an 80-rated card commands such a high price on the transfer market. There are several answers to this.

First, there is the possibility of Bebou’s card becoming stronger through upgrades. Just reaching the knockout phase would mean a jump in ratings, and after that, there is an upgrade for every additional round completed. Since Hoffenheim is currently in Group L of the Europa League, ranking 1st with three wins and a good lead, progressing is very likely. And with it, an upgrade for Bebou.

But even without upgrades, Bebou in this form is an exciting card, as it fills a gap in the Bundesliga in FUT.

The best striker cards in the Bundesliga currently include Lewandowski, Haaland, Kramaric as POTM, and TOTW Max Kruse. All good strikers, but none shine with extreme speed. The fastest Bundesliga striker in FIFA 20 was Timo Werner, who moved to England, leaving a vacuum behind.

At the beginning of the Ultimate Team season, this gap was somewhat filled by Leipzig’s Hee-Chan Hwang, but a truly fast forward with high ratings has been lacking until now. And Bebou can deliver that – as he is already quite useful in the crucial attacking stats of dribbling and shooting.

If you equip Bebou with a Finisher style, he suddenly has shooting and dribbling stats in the 90s, alongside pace. This includes a 99 finishing and 99 dribbling score. He also has 4-star skill moves. With the chemistry style, Bebou suddenly becomes a top striker – and that without an upgrade.

He only has weaknesses in physicality and passing. Thus, he is more suited as a scorer in the center forward position.

Who should buy Bebou? Primarily, Bebou is interesting for Bundesliga players. He is especially worthwhile if you already have the top players in the league gathered and are looking for an option to further improve your team in detail. If you play a Bundesliga team in FUT, Bebou could be a really exciting alternative to secure.

Besides that, he could also be an interesting investment on the transfer market if Hoffenheim progresses in the Europa League. However, this depends on real football – and of course on the fluctuations of the transfer market. After all, this year has already seen sudden drops in value.

By the way: Even Bebou’s regular silver card is unusually expensive in FUT. This is due to the silver lounge mode, where he is one of the most exciting players.

Destiny 2: Players shoot through new loot cave – Who is it worth for?

Sven Galitzki 17. November 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, players have discovered a new loot cave in the Cosmodrome – very similar to the predecessor. However, the trip is worthwhile not only for nostalgic players. We explain who can currently benefit from this discovery.

What is the loot cave all about? In the early days of Destiny 1, Guardians found a cave in the Cosmodrome on Earth where one could scoop up quite a bit of loot in a relatively short time and with comparatively little effort. This was quickly dubbed the Loot Cave by the community.

From this cave, dozens of simple enemies continuously ran out – essentially in infinite waves. The Guardians mowed down one wave after another and collected the loot or the Engrams that accumulated there over time. Then they would head to the Tower to the Cryptarch, where they mostly received junk but occasionally also got a decent item.

At some point, this was patched and thus became legendary. Now, with Destiny 2 Beyond Light and Season 12, the Cosmodrome from part 1 returned, and players immediately found a new loot cave there.

Here you can take a look at the original:

By the way: The legendary old loot cave is also back with the Cosmodrome, but everything was better back then.

Players discover new loot cave

Where can you find the new loot cave? The new loot cave is also located in the Cosmodrome on Earth, but in a different area – namely “The Rift”.

In this, you will find the new loot cave

This is how you get there:

Select the southern (lower) landing zone “The Steppes”.
Once landed, do not run out into the vastness of the Cosmodrome right in front of you, but turn left and go into the destroyed building.
Follow the corridor through the area “Dock 13” to “The Rift”.
As soon as you see the area name on the left side of the screen and come outside, look to the right. There you will see the protrusion of a larger building.
Right in this protrusion is the new loot cave, but on the other side.

I’m there – what now? Now you can stand in front of the loot cave, keep a little distance, and start shooting.

This is what it looks like in action:

https://twitter.com/AyyItsChevy/status/1327834500420816900?s=20

Who benefits from the new loot cave?

One thing upfront: For players beyond power level 1,200 or for the endgame, this new loot cave is less suitable. Yes, you can work towards Primus Engrams there in a relaxed manner. However, you can neither farm them endlessly nor is it particularly faster than doing regular activities.

For nostalgic players: For nostalgic players, the new loot cave is definitely worth a look. Those who want to reminisce about standing in front of the original cave and shooting in wildly may find the new cave brings a smile to their face.

Especially if you haven’t yet reached the soft cap, or if you are playing with friends who have not yet arrived there, this is a cool way to share some of your nostalgic memories.

For loot quests: Additionally, the new loot cave is a good opportunity to quickly and effectively complete a large part of the Cosmodrome as well as weapons master bounties – provided there are not too many players there.

Up to power level 1,200: Rare or legendary Engrams often drop in the loot cave. And since nearly every new piece of equipment helps you on your way to power level 1,200, you can relatively comfortably advance your power level – for example, if you are still a bit low level for one or the other new mission from Destiny 2 Beyond Light.

However, it doesn’t go quite as fast as it does here: Players wait a year for Destiny 2 Beyond Light, are at level cap in an hour

WoW reduces the spawn time for rare mobs during the pre-event – Here’s why it’s important

Cortyn 17. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A change to the Pre-Event of WoW: Shadowlands is well-received. The rare enemies are now much more common.

The Pre-Event for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is in full swing and numerous players are farming the rare enemies in Icecrown. After all, they reward the players with a special event currency and occasionally unique loot. However, there was criticism about the long respawn time of the enemies – Blizzard has now addressed this criticism and accelerated everything.

What was the problem? The respawn of the rare enemies in Icecrown became a nuisance for many players. After all, exactly 20 minutes passed between the appearance of two rare enemies, leading to frustrating wait times. For some players, it seemed as if the event had simply become an “AFK simulator,” which resulted in a lot of frustration.

What has changed? Blizzard has now, in the second week of the Pre-Event, responded to this criticism. The respawn timer for the rare mobs has been reduced from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. You will now be notified every 10 minutes via an emote that a new rare mob has appeared in Icecrown.

What are the implications? In plain terms, this means that all rare bosses in Icecrown now rotate at double speed and a cycle now lasts only 3 hours and 20 minutes instead of 6 hours and 40 minutes. Additionally, you farm the black plague stones at double speed, allowing event rewards to be obtained in roughly half the time.

Why is this important? Especially for twinks, this is worthwhile, who want solid equipment with item level 100 before the start of Shadowlands. But transmog collectors can also breathe easier. Those who wanted to collect all 4 sets now only need to invest half the time to gather enough tokens for the Argent Crusade.

von MeinMMO

In summary, this is a sensible change that brings a bit more pace to the whole pre-event and ensures that all players can get the gear they want much faster. This is also a massive advantage when farming the large 34-slot bag – as the number of chances per day doubles when Bronjahm appears twice as often.

What do you think of this adjustment?

Crossplay in CoD Cold War – Here’s how to do it on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Series X/S

Noah Struthoff 17. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War you can play together in crossplay with PC, PS4, and Xbox One again. The next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X and S also enable crossplay. MeinMMO shows you how to do it.

What is crossplay? This allows you to play the new CoD Cold War with friends on any platform. As a PC player, you can play together with friends who are on Xbox or PlayStation.

Crossplay is available for almost all multiplayer modes and there are no restrictions except for the PlayStation-exclusive zombie mode “Firestorm”.

Everything about crossplay in CoD Cold War

How can you activate crossplay? Crossplay is usually already activated. However, you can also deactivate it in the settings or activate it again there. Here’s how:

Go to the gear icon in the main menu and open the settings – this is also possible in each individual mode
Click on the “Account & Network” field
In the “Activision account” section, you can activate or deactivate crossplay in the 2nd position

Crossplay applies to every mode by the way. If you deactivate crossplay, the player search may take longer, as only lobbies that actually only include players on your console or PC will be searched.

How to play with friends: For this, you and your friends need to have an account with Activision (via callofduty.com). Once that’s in place, you can invite your friends. Follow these steps:

Click on “Social” in the upper right corner of the screen. You can do this in any mode
There you can choose the option “Add Activision friends”
Have your teammates give you their Activision ID. To find it, look at the bottom of the screen. With a button press, you can display “My Activision ID”
Then you can send the friend request, and your friend will receive this request in his CoD social menu
Once connected, you can join and invite each other

What about cross-gen? The new consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X and S also support crossplay. So you can play normally with friends on other consoles with these consoles.

Can I deactivate crossplay and still play with next-gen / last-gen? Yes, for example, if you turn off crossplay on a PS4, you can still play with your buddies on the PS5. Only PC and Xbox players are excluded from your matches.

What about the PS bonuses? PlayStation players receive special bonuses in Cold War again. These remain exclusive to these players. Despite crossplay, you cannot transfer these bonuses.

What advantages does crossplay bring? With crossplay, you can benefit from some advantages. These include:

The player search is shorter because you are matched with players on all platforms
You can save your progress on one console with cross-save and then continue playing on another platform with that progress

How exactly does cross-save work? We explain this with the example of the PlayStation 4. You have already been playing Cold War diligently and have made some progress. Now you are one of the lucky ones who received the new console at the release of the PS5. You can then continue playing Cold War on the PS5 with your progress, even though you earned it on the PS4.

If you want to earn a good progress first, we show you the best tips for leveling up in Cold War: 7 tips for leveling quickly in CoD Cold War – For weapons & rank

PC-MMORPG seeks to find new players with massive update – here’s what it includes

Andreas Bertits 17. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The Free2Play game Rise of the Archons received a huge update, which almost represents a fresh start.

What can you expect in the game? Rise of the Archons is a remake of the classic Legends of Mir, which started in its third version in 2004. The remake is based on this game but now offers several innovations with a huge update. You still create a hero from the eight classes Barbarian, Pyromancer, Necromancer, Monk, Assassin, Hunter, Mystic, Stormcaller, with which you explore the world from an isometric perspective and fight monsters in hack ‘n’ slash battles.

You can team up with other players, complete quests, and look for better gear to upgrade your hero.

Rise of the Archons is a remake of a classic MMORPG.

A Classic Gets a Refresh

What’s new? Rise of the Archons offers some revamps of the game and also new elements. These include:

New dungeon level 64: Lost World
Complete review and update of monsters and bosses
Faster leveling, as you earn more EXP
Destruction measurement – Double loot, gold, and magical items
Increased drop rate of special items
Increased spawns for super and champion monsters
Many more updates

What do these changes bring? The developers want to make your MMORPG experience more exciting through the update, especially for newcomers. They aim to attract more players who will then roam the vast fantasy world.

How do you join? You can create an account on the official website of the MMORPG. Since it is a Free2Play game, it is completely free of charge.

Then download the client, install it, and you can start playing.

This is how Legends of Mir, from which Rise of the Archons originated, plays.

Who is Rise of the Archons for? The MMORPG has been around for several years. When Legends of Mir 3 was released, it was in 2004. Graphically, it resembles Ultima Online or Lineage 1. Therefore, you should not expect high-end graphics.

Furthermore, the gameplay is rather laid-back. Despite hack-and-slash battles, there is no stress involved. There is plenty to do and explore.

You should have a liking for retro games to enjoy Rise of the Archons.

Do you want to give Rise of the Archons a chance? Or is it too old for you?

There are many more interesting MMORPGs that you can check out in 2020. Which ones they are, we reveal in the MeinMMO article “The 15 currently best MMOs and MMORPGs 2020“.

NCSoft announces 3 new MMORPGs for 2021: Aion 2, Blade & Soul 2 and Project TL

Andreas Bertits 17. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

According to a conference with investors, NCSoft plans to release three major MMORPGs in 2021: Aion 2, Blade & Soul 2 and Lineage Eternal (Project TL). But which of these could be interesting for you?

2021 could be an interesting year for MMORPG fans. At least if you’re interested in the MMORPG franchises Blade & Soul, Aion, and Lineage. Because NCSoft finally wants to release successors to these titles, as NC Soft explained to investors.

Project TL (formerly Lineage Eternal)

https://youtu.be/fItmbqVrvAI

This is what the MMORPG Project TL looks like.

What can you expect from the game? Project TL is planned for 2021, but there is no exact date yet. The game, which was formerly known as Lineage Eternal, aims to be a mix of hack ‘n slash and MMORPG – similar to what is the case with Lost Ark. You’ll play from an isometric view, but you’re not only expecting battles, but also many quests, NPCs, interaction with other players, and more.

The MMORPG takes place in the universe of the two MMORPGs Lineage and Lineage 2 and looks impressive in the first videos. However, little is known about the gameplay so far. It is expected to be released for PC. The developers are currently testing based on initial tests for Project TL whether it is competitive, though this was not explained further.

Who is the game suitable for? If Diablo 4 has too little MMORPG content for you, but you like the gameplay style of a hack ‘n slash, then Project TL might be interesting for you.

The battles are fast-paced and action-packed, and you also need to incorporate the environment into your strategies – for example, to topple stone pillars onto enemies. In addition, you can expect plenty of boss battles.

Aion 2

https://youtu.be/bFbY2zblvLM

AION 2 looks impressive for a mobile game.

What can you expect from the game? The release of the MMORPG is supposed to take place at a yet unspecified date next year. It is a mobile game that is referred to as a “milestone.” This means it is expected to look so good graphically that it could also be a PC MMORPG.

The story takes place around 900 years before the events of the first part, so Aion 2 is a prequel. Just like in Aion, the focus is on flying. However, the combat system is expected to differ significantly from that of the first part. PvP is important, and it is even possible for players from different servers to wage war against each other.

Who is the game suitable for? Aion 2 is obviously aimed at fans of the first part. Flying around and battles as well as PvP should be of interest to you. However, this time it will be played on mobile devices. This means if you’re a fan of Aion, you should be open to the new platform.

Blade & Soul 2 looks impressive from the trailer, even though it is a mobile MMORPG.

What can you expect from the game? Just like AION 2, Blade & Soul 2 is a mobile game. The release is planned for the first quarter of 2021. NCSoft calls the game a “masterpiece.” Initial videos have already shown that we can expect a visually impressive title – even though it is a mobile MMORPG.

The development studio aims to make the battles even more interesting than in the first part. This is to be achieved through an improved combo system and smarter enemies.

Who is the game suitable for? Blade & Soul 2 picks up where the predecessor left off and is aimed at everyone who wants to experience action-packed, spectacular battles in an MMORPG. It is also necessary to enjoy playing on a mobile device, as there are currently no plans for a PC version. You can basically expect a better version of the predecessor from Blade & Soul 2.

FIFA 21: Title Update 5 is now also available on PS4 & Xbox One – This is what changes in gameplay

Julian Schröder 17. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In FIFA 21, the new Title Update 5 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC brings some changes and fixes. We reveal the patch notes and what changes in the game.

When is Title Update 5 coming? The new update has been available since November 12 on PC via Origin and Steam.

Update, November 17: Title Update 5 is now also available on PS4 and Xbox One. EA Sports announced this via their Direct Communication channel on Twitter:

What’s included in the update: The new Title Update offers some changes, but mainly focuses on correcting gameplay and display errors. There are no comprehensive changes like in the last Title Update 4.

The key changes in Title Update 5 – Patch Notes

The patch notes: Title Update 5 includes changes for all areas and modes. Both gameplay and visual elements are being revised. In the following list, we summarize the most important changes.

You can find the official patch notes from EA Sports here (via FIFA Forums).

Gameplay – Changes

Various adjustments have been made to gameplay:

The distance the ball can travel after making contact with a defender’s foot or leg during a block animation has been increased.
The time during which “Team Pressing” (D-Pad tactic) can be active before a cooldown is required has been reduced from 30 seconds to 20 seconds.
The D-Pad tactic “Overload on Ball Side” consumes more stamina.
The tactics “Press After Errors,” “Press After Ball Loss,” and “Constant Pressure” are intended to be more effective.

Furthermore, the following errors were corrected:

Players sometimes took too long to shoot.
A collision between the keeper and a defender sometimes resulted in the goalkeeper being shoved into the goal, resulting in an own goal – this situation is now counted as a foul.
If a yellow-card worthy foul was played on advantage, the player could commit another yellow-card worthy foul and receive a direct red card for it.
The goalkeeper could leap too early and then execute another jump.
Sometimes skill moves could not be executed immediately after a player turned.

Ultimate Team – Changes

What’s new in Ultimate Team:

Club hymns and fan chants can now be listened to in the bidding window.

These errors have been fixed in Ultimate Team:

The matchmaking for placement matches in Division Rivals is supposed to improve.
Some balls had no shadows in the game.
The incorrect names of some goal celebrations have been adjusted.
The player bio of Icon-Riquelme is now correct.

Career Mode – Changes

What has been corrected in Career Mode:

In negotiation scenes, two incorrect and identical manager character models were used.

Otherwise, mainly display errors that presented incorrect texts and information have been fixed.

Pro Clubs – Changes

What’s new in Pro Clubs:

Group, team, and camera celebrations can now be performed.
The camera now zooms in on the goalscorer during goal celebrations.

These errors have been fixed:

Your own tactics are now saved correctly.

Further changes in Title Update 5

What else has changed? The list of changes and fixes is long and includes many smaller visual improvements and bugs that occurred rarely.

However, a major new addition is the 25 new game faces that EA has announced. Which ones they are is not yet known. Perhaps finally an updated Ancelotti?

In addition, EA has revised the ping display. The ping is now shown before a match:

0 to 30 milliseconds show 5 green bars.
31 to 59 milliseconds show 4 green bars.
60 to 99 milliseconds show 3 orange bars.
100 to 124 milliseconds show 2 orange bars.
125 or more milliseconds show 1 red bar.

Thus, FIFA 21 has already received its fifth update. We are curious to see if the 4-2-3-1 formation will remain so strong even after the update.

PS5: After the day-one patch, there is now the first firmware update with 868 MB

Sven Galitzki 17. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A new system update has just been released for the PlayStation 5, which most PlayStation players in Germany and Europe will likely need to download as a day-one patch. What does the firmware update bring?

Although players in Germany and other European countries have to wait a little longer for the official launch of the PS5 on November 19, Sony’s new next-gen console is already available in the USA and some other countries.

Those who already own a PlayStation 5 had to download and install a day-one patch at launch. Now another update has apparently been added.

What is the new update about? MeinMMO has also received a PS5 from Sony for testing purposes in advance. I, Sven Galitzki, shooter expert from MeinMMO, have already tried Destiny 2 on the PlayStation 5 and also had to download the 868 MB day-one patch.

However, today another firmware update has been released – with version 20.02-02.25.00. It is also 868 MB in size and is essentially the first system software update since the first patch at launch.

It is not known whether German players have to download both patches or a cumulative update at launch.

What does the new system update bring for the PS5? The description is very clear. The new firmware update improves the system performance of the still young PlayStation 5, according to Sony.

No PS5 yet? If you’ve had bad luck so far and couldn’t pre-order or secure a PS5 at launch: At least there should apparently be new ordering opportunities at launch – basically a kind of third wave. Two German retailers have already announced this.

In retail, the PS5 is not being sold – at least not at launch. However, something could still happen at launch with Amazon: PS5: Amazon announces replenishment for the EU launch – what about Germany?

WoW: Spend Residuum now before Blizzard does it for you

Cortyn 17. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Now is the last chance to spend Titan Residuum in World of Warcraft. You should definitely do this to make a good amount of gold.

What is Titan Residuum? Titan Residuum is a currency that players could earn during Battle for Azeroth. It was obtained from the weekly “Mythic+” chest and from disassembling Azerite gear. Players could then use the Residuum to buy equipment of their choice. This way, the perfect Azerite gear could be farmed specifically.

What happens to the Residuum? With the launch of Shadowlands, the currency will automatically be converted to gold, but at a pretty modest rate. For every Titan Residuum, you will receive exactly 1 Silver. So, if you have accumulated 20,000 Titan Residuum, you will receive a letter with 200 gold. A pretty bad deal.

What should you do instead? Instead of waiting for the launch of Shadowlands, you should spend your Titan Residuum now. Buy the cheapest chest for 175 Residuum from the Azerite vendor in Boralus (Alliance) or Dazar’alor (Horde). This can be sold for about 70-80 gold pieces.

Instead of 1 gold and 75 silver, you get a whopping 70 to 80 gold.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands – Gewinnspiel

von MeinMMO

If you have 20,000 Residuum, that totals almost 8,500 gold pieces – compared to the 200 gold you would receive through the automatic conversion.

Using a Macro makes it even easier: Many, like the YouTuber Hazelnutty, also use a macro to simplify the purchase of Azerite gear. The macro buys one of the Azerite items and uses it immediately to create a piece of armor. This saves time.

Link to the YouTube content

The macro looks like this in the English client:

/run BuyMerchantItem(3)
/use Relinquished Azerite Chestpiece

For the German client, this macro works like this:

/run BuyMerchantItem(3)
/use Aufgegebener Azeritbrustharnisch

Make sure before using that the chest piece is indeed in position 3 with the vendor for you. If the vendor offers you other items – like essences – you need to adjust the number, for example to 5.

Anyone who still has Residuum lying around should promptly spend it. Because with the launch of Shadowlands, you might miss out on several thousand gold pieces.

How much gold have you made from selling Residuum items?

Pokémon GO: Timed Research for the Home Event brings Kaumalat

Patrick Freese 17. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the limited research for the Home event is running. We show you all the tasks and rewards. This includes encounters with Pokémon, Poké Balls, and Mega Energies.

What kind of research is this? Today, on November 17, 2020, the Home event in Pokémon GO started. There are new spawns, raid bosses, field research, and also limited research for you.

In this overview, we show you all the tasks and rewards that await you in the limited research. Also, the sought-after Kaumalat.

You can find the research by clicking on the binoculars in the lower right corner of the Pokémon GO game screen. The tasks will be displayed in the “Today” overview.

The HOME event special research

The research is divided into 4 chapters, each with 3 tasks. You are already familiar with this structure from other limited researches.

Home Research 1/4

Task	Reward
Send 5 Pokémon	10 Poké Balls
Use 10 Berries when Catching Pokémon	Encounter with Nidoran (f)
Catch 10 Pokémon	3 Razz Berries

Stage reward: For completing this stage, you will receive 500 Stardust, 20 Mega Energies for Pidgeot, and an encounter with Psyduck.

Home Research 2/4

Task	Reward

Already completed	10 Mega Energies for Pidgeot

Stage reward: For completing this stage, you will receive 1,500 Stardust, 30 Mega Energies for Pidgeot, and an encounter with Kaumalat.

Especially Kaumalat as a reward is likely to please many trainers. Because actually this Pokémon is quite rare and hard to catch. Recently, Kaumalat became the reward of a single quest, now even more trainers have the chance for such an encounter.

Xbox chief apologizes: Series X and S will remain scarce until 2021

Andreas Bertits 17. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The Xbox Series X is currently very hard to get. And according to Microsoft’s Phil Spencer, that won’t change in the near future.

What is the situation around the Xbox Series X/S? Microsoft’s new consoles were released on November 10. The Xbox Series X sold out within minutes, while the Series S remained available for a bit longer. However, it has now become difficult to even find the “smaller” version.

Right now, you can basically only order the Xbox Series X through Ebay – and at inflated prices.

Microsoft’s Phil Spencer responded as follows: “We have more demand than supply, and I apologize to the people for that.” He mentioned that the consoles have been built and shipped as quickly as possible for the last two months. However, due to the high demand for the consoles, they sell out immediately at retailers. He is very sorry about that.

According to Spencer, it has simply become very difficult to bring products to market during the Christmas season due to COVID-19. This applies not only to consoles, but also to new games.

It will take time before the new Xbox consoles are available for everyone

When will consoles be available for purchase again? Microsoft’s Chief Financial Officer Tim Stuart explained that this situation is unlikely to change until April 2021. It will remain difficult to obtain one of the new, quiet Xbox consoles.

I think we will continue to see supply constraints even after the holidays, that is, Microsoft’s third quarter, or the first calendar quarter.
Tim Stuart, CFO Microsoft

Stuart expects that there will be significantly more consoles available between May and June 2021, and players will then be able to purchase them regularly.

And when we reach the fourth (Microsoft) quarter, our entire supply chain will be running full steam and heading towards a kind of pre-summer month. And there, I expect to see the supply meet the demand.
Tim Stuart, CFO Microsoft

What does that mean concretely? According to Microsoft, it will remain difficult to get an Xbox Series X/S until May 2021. However, by early summer, everyone should be able to purchase one of the consoles.

This also means that those who have not yet been able to obtain an Xbox Series X/S will have to remain patient or hope for luck, perhaps being able to buy one of the new consoles earlier than expected.

Did you have luck and manage to buy an Xbox Series X/S? Or are you still waiting for consoles to be available again?

Pokémon GO: Home event brings 4 quests, raid bosses and these Shinys

Noah Struthoff 17. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO the big Home Event has started. It brings new quests, raid bosses, and shinies to the game. We provide you with an overview of all the new features.

How long does the Home Event last? It started this morning, on November 17, and runs until November 23 at 10:00 PM.

The event celebrates the integration of Pokémon GO into the cloud system Pokémon Home. For this, Shiny Meltan is returning to the game and additional bonuses round out the event.

Field Research, Shinies, and Spawns for the Home Event

These quests are new: There are a total of 4 new field researches for the event. We show you the rewards for them:

Catch 2 different species of Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a male or female Nidoran (both can be Shiny)
Give your buddy 3 snacks
- Reward: Encounter with a Shiny Slowpoke
Win 2 raids
- Reward: Encounter with a Shiny Dratini
Catch 30 Pokémon
- Reward: 1500 Stardust

The task regarding the two forms of Nidoran is worthwhile. It can be completed quickly and rewards you with a potential Shiny. The quest for Slowpoke should also be collected, as it gives you the chance to get the brand new Shiny Slowpoke. Here you can ideally collect 3 quests at once and then complete them all at once by feeding.

These spawns are available for the event: Alolan Sandshrew appears in the wild. This Pokémon is not otherwise catchable in the wild and can also appear as Shiny. If you don’t have a Shiny yet, you should take the chance.

Additionally, there are numerous exciting spawns including Alolan Diglett, Lileep, Anorith, Magnemite, Slowpoke, and Zubat. They can all be Shiny and appear rarely outside of events.

What new Shinies are there? Slowpoke was introduced as the only new Shiny and is available now. However, it is only slightly lighter than the normal Slowpoke. Only upon evolving into Lickilicky does the difference become noticeable:

In addition to Slowpoke, you can now also catch Shiny Meltan again. The Shiny form has been missing for over a year and is now available again during the event period.

This is how you get Shiny Meltan: The Shiny is only available from the Mystery Box you receive when you trade a Pokémon between Pokémon GO and Let’s GO Pikachu/Eevee. Alternatively, you can also obtain the Mystery Box by transferring a Pokémon to Pokémon Home.

You can find a detailed guide to the Mystery Box here:

Raid Bosses for the Home Event

These are the new bosses: In line with the spawns at the event, there are also new raid bosses in the game. We provide you with an overview here.

All Pokémon marked with a star can also be encountered as Shiny.

Raid Level	Pokémon
Level 1 Raid (red egg)	Alolan Vulpix* Slowpoke* Magnemite* Shinx* Stufful* Clobbopus*
Level 3 Raid (yellow egg)	Walrein Alolan Raichu* Metagross Nidoqueen Absol*
Mega Raid (red-white egg)	Mega Charizard X* Mega Charizard Y* Mega Blastoise* Mega Pidgeot* Mega Houndoom* Mega Gengar*
Level 5 Raid (black egg)	Cobalion* Terrakion* Virizion*

So you have several Shinies available in raids that you can encounter. Furthermore, you have 3 new legendary bosses with Terrakion, Virizion, and Cobalion. We show you here the counters and usefulness of the new Legendary Pokémon:

Help, I’m addicted to skins in Fortnite, even though I don’t play it

Jürgen Horn 17. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there are tons of skins and outfits. They are often pretty cool. MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn hasn’t played Fortnite in a long time, but since he knows what’s currently in the shop due to a silly coincidence, he’s struggling with throwing a bunch of money on a game he doesn’t even play!

What’s the deal with Jürgen and the skins? Fortnite never really appealed to me due to its gameplay mechanics. I didn’t appreciate the building aspects in either the PvE or Battle Royale versions. However, I love the comic-style graphics reminiscent of Pixar movies.

That’s why I eagerly awaited the new skins in the shop every week, and a new Battle Pass was always a special highlight for me. To snag the coolest skins, I slogged through a game that I didn’t really enjoy.

I actually don’t like Fortnite: Since I deeply hate building, I’ve hardly made any significant progress. A few good kills at the start of the game was usually the best I could hope for. My only win in Fortnite happened just because I somehow didn’t encounter any enemies, and my last opponent perished due to stupidity and loot greed in the storm.

Nonetheless, I played Fortnite almost daily until my parental leave to showcase my latest skins. The time before the match, where the large crowd showcased the coolest emotes in an epic dance battle, admiring or laughing at each other, that was the true essence of the game for me!

The temporary end: This went on until September 2019. Then my parental leave began, and I hardly had any time to play for several months. Since my gaming time was incredibly tight, and I didn’t need to play more games for work, I increasingly played single-player games that I could pause at any time or games with very short rounds. So no Battle Royale games that can last 30 minutes or more.

That also did good for my wallet, as I certainly spent way too much money on skins. But then the temptation returned…

The skin list ruins my good intentions

How Jürgen nearly relapsed: Except for a small play session at the start of Season 4, Chapter 2, I had stayed away from Fortnite for over a year. But then, suddenly, boss Schuhmann appeared and said, “Hey, the list of skins, you haven’t updated that in ages, get on it!” And indeed, the list was really outdated, and I spent several hours gathering and categorizing all the recent skins.

More on the topic

List of all skins and outfits for Fortnite 2023 – Here’s how to get them

von Jürgen Horn

And what I saw there made me cheer with joy multiple times, so much so that my wife in the other room was wondering what was happening.

Here’s everything: Because the skins were partially really cool. There were tons of new Marvel skins, Star Wars skins, skins from known streamers, and just original, stylish, and bizarre outfits like Fishstick as a killer commando, a hot dog, zombie football skins, a nasty fox, Baba Yaga, or a Japanese Oni demon.

The selection was just huge, and had I been active in the last months, I surely would have spent hundreds of euros. And even now, while writing these lines and looking at the skins, I am itching to reinstall the game and go shopping.

Who knows what cool skins are currently available in the shop? It’s almost Christmas, and surely something cool and original will hit the market!

That’s why I probably won’t buy anything: But no, that’s it! I really don’t feel like playing Fortnite again, and it’s pointless to have the skins and not use them because I’m not interested in the game. Reluctantly, I close the skin list again and keep my hands off the Fortnite installer. That was a close call.

And luckily I have a kind of substitute drug: Apex Legends also has cool skins, is much more fun for me than Fortnite, and doesn’t release skins at such rapid intervals. That saves my wallet and still satisfies my joy for a virtual Battle Royale fashion show! And sometimes I even win in Apex Legends, because you don’t build there, but shoot more!

I am playing on a console again after 15 years with Xbox Series S – And I am sorry

Alexander Leitsch 17. November 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

On November 10th, the new generation of Xbox consoles was released. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch now has an Xbox Series S at home. He made his first attempts with it over the weekend and failed miserably.

What is my stance on consoles? The Xbox Series S is my first console since the PlayStation 2. I got it as a gift from my parents in 2001 and I was thrilled back then. However, over the years, it became clear where my true passion in gaming lies: in MMORPGs.

For a long time, online role-playing games were played almost exclusively on the PC. Black Desert was only released for consoles in 2019 – 3 years after the PC release. So for years, the PC was either completely overhauled or gradually upgraded.

But with the Xbox Series S, a budget-friendly new console was launched. And since I already own a Game Pass subscription for PC, it intrigued me immensely:

On one hand, I can finally get out of my home office where I work and play at the same time.
On the other hand, since my last move, I have a brand new couch – and that needs to be used too!

What happened? Last weekend, I finally got to use the Xbox Series S extensively. I downloaded FIFA and ESO and was convinced that I, just like on the PC, would dominate the games.

But my first rounds with the matching controller were primarily one thing: pathetic!

About the Author: Alexander Leitsch is 27 years old and mainly focuses on MMORPGs like Guild Wars 2, Black Desert, ArcheAge, and ESO at MeinMMO. He also loves to play TFT and regularly creates tier lists for it. However, consoles have never been his thing.

Lost in FIFA 20, even though I’m decent on PC

How did the first rounds go? Aside from a few gaming conventions, I last held a controller in 2005. I can say that precisely because my PS2 fell from its hanging fixture and shattered on the floor back then.

Since then, I’ve been playing almost exclusively on PC or smartphone. But that didn’t stop me from going full throttle right away. I started a round of FIFA 20, which is also included for free in the Game Pass. On PC, I play FIFA, probably as the only person in the world, with a keyboard!

However, I can usually win against the AI on World Class difficulty easily and on Legendary with some effort. So what could possibly go wrong on the console? I set the difficulty to World Class and got started. My first game ended in a loss of 1:3 – against an AI….

Shortly after, I played a casual kickoff match against a colleague. I don’t even want to describe how miserably I lost, but it was a double-digit score!

What’s the problem? I am actually having incredible difficulty controlling a controller. At first, I struggled to differentiate between X and Y. The shoulder buttons, which are commonly set for player switching and sprinting, did not fit my playstyle at all.

I quickly found myself wishing for my gaming keyboard back, which I had become accustomed to over the past 15 years.

Once multiplayer, always multiplayer

Why am I apologizing here? For years, I have actually only been playing multiplayer games. My focus is mainly on games where you play together, such as MMORPGs or team-based PvP games like LoL or Conqueror’s Blade.

I have also focused on multiplayer games with the Xbox Series S. And of course, I will be playing it extensively in the coming weeks.

Therefore, I already feel sorry if you accidentally end up in my group. Because with the controller, I am an absolute noob and will surely not make your gaming experience more enjoyable. You might find me especially in ESO, Black Desert, or maybe even in a shooter.

How this turns out is written in the stars. Perhaps I will soon be so frustrated that I will just connect a mouse and a keyboard to the console!

How about you? Are you more comfortable with the controller or the keyboard? Let us know in the comments!

If you also, like me, enjoy exploring MMOs, you can find all the MMORPGs you can play on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S here.

WoW: How to find all 20 Rare Mobs of the Pre-Event – Coordinates & Loot

Benedict Grothaus 17. November 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In the pre-event to Shadowlands, there are currently several rare mobs and bosses you can find in World of Warcraft. They have cool loot, such as the coveted Cursed Memorabilia. MeinMMO will tell you where you can find the bosses.

Update – November 17: The bosses now spawn every 10 minutes instead of every 20. This means you will get the rewards from the rare mobs twice as fast.

Original – What are these bosses? In Icecrown, rare enemies spawn regularly as preparation for the new expansion Shadowlands, which you must defeat as a group. These are bosses from various instances in Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) that veterans will surely remember.

In line with the zombie plague that returns from the WotLK pre-event, these bosses also bring nostalgia. They reward you with the same loot they used to have back then, only adjusted for the new level 50.

Additionally, they offer some special loot items that you can only obtain during the event. They can be found all over Icecrown.

Locations and Coordinates of the Rare Mobs

Here you can find the bosses: The rare mobs are scattered all over Icecrown, but they always occupy the same positions. You can find a total of 20 of them at the following coordinates:

Queen Lana’thel: 49.7 / 32.7
Professor Putricide: Coordinates: 57.1 / 30.3
Lady Deathwhisper: 51.1 / 78.5
Skadi the Ruthless: 57.5 / 56.1
Ingvar the Plunderer: 52.4 / 52.6
Prince Keleseth: 54.0 / 44.7
The Black Knight: 64.6 / 22.1
Bronjahm: 70.7 / 38.4
Scourgelord Tyrannus: 47.2 / 66.1
Forgemaster Garfrost: 58.6 / 72.5
Marwyn: 58.6 / 72.5
Falric: 50.2 / 87.9
The Prophet Tharon’ja: 50.2 / 87.9
Novos the Summoner: 77.8 / 66.1
Trollgrind: 58.3 / 39.4
Krik’thir the Gatekeeper: 67.5 / 58.0
Prince Taldram: 29.6 / 62.2
Elder Nadox: 44.2 / 49.1
North the Plague Lord: 31.6 / 70.5
Patchwerk: 36.5 / 67.4 – The entrance to the cave is located at 34.4 / 68.5

How do I see the coordinates? The relevant coordinates are not displayed in the game itself. You need an addon for that. In our guide on MeinMMO, we present three addons that can display coordinates for you. If you’re only interested in determining the location, we recommend MapCoords, which you can find here on Curse.

When do the bosses spawn? The bosses appear in the above order and always at intervals of exactly ten minutes. Once a boss has appeared, it is not attackable for three minutes but already visible on the map.

After that, you can defeat it with a group. Due to the timing, the interval between spawns of the same boss is always 3 hours and 20 minutes. So if you’re after a specific boss, you need to be patient.

When a boss is active, you will also see it as a purple skull on the world map:

Cursed Memorabilia and Other Special Loot

What drops from the bosses: Each of the bosses drops armor and weapons they already had during WotLK. However, the new item level is 110, which is just below the level of loot from the heroic version of the final raid in Battle for Azeroth, Ny’alotha.

Some of the bosses also have special items with them, and all bosses share a loot pool with equipment and items they can have:

Damaged Sword Hilt – Starts the quest line for the sword or mace Quel’Delar
Pitch-black Plague Stones
Cursed Memorabilia

Additionally, you have a chance to obtain the largest bag in the game from the boss Bronjahm and can possibly get a rare mount from Skadi the Ruthless. However, the cursed memorabilia are likely to be quite a sought-after loot.

What’s special about the Cursed Memorabilia? The memorabilia were introduced with the pre-event to WotLK. They have no real use and cannot be equipped.

However, anyone who has such a memorabilia in their pocket has a ghostly visage follow them around all the time. This is a purely cosmetic effect, which is quite popular among players.

Since the drop rate of the memorabilia was extremely low earlier and they have not been obtainable since, they reached high prices in the auction house. However, the chance with the bosses now is also only a few percent.

The pre-event also offers additional rewards aside from the bosses that you can earn through various currencies. In our article on MeinMMO, we show you what loot you should definitely get during the Shadowlands pre-event.

WoW Shadowlands offers 4 covenants, but for many experts only one is worth it

Benedict Grothaus 17. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Covenants are the new core feature in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. You draw a good portion of your strength from them in the next expansion. Even before the release, many guides are circulating regarding the covenants and which ones are “the best.” Many experts recommend the Kyrian in their guides – and that’s only because they offer a specific companion.

What kind of covenant is this? The Kyrian are the first covenant you encounter. They are angelic beings with a strong sense of discipline and rules. The spirit healers, known to almost everyone, come from their ranks. In the cinematic “Afterlife: Bastion”, you will learn more about the history of the Kyrian.

Why are they so strong? Many guides, such as on wowhead, recommend the Kyrian as a covenant for optimized gameplay, especially for DPS specializations. This is solely due to Pelagos, one of the possible companions and the first transgender character in WoW.

Pelagos has the ability in his soulbind to activate two potency mediums and two abilities that increase damage (“throughput traits”):

Combat Meditation, which increases your mastery
Letting Go of the Past, which increases versatility

Potency mediums also ensure that abilities deal more damage. All other companions have only one potency medium or only one of these abilities. Pelagos is the only one who can offer two of each, making him a bit stronger. Just 52% of the guides on wowhead therefore recommend the Kyrian.

Kyrian are strong – But that doesn’t mean much at first

Do I have to play Kyrian now? Basically: No. The recommendation is mathematically the best choice for many DPS classes, yes. However, it’s of no use to you if you cannot deal with the abilities of the Kyrian.

If you find it difficult to integrate your specific Kyrian class ability into your playstyle, you are not well advised with this covenant and will ultimately lose performance. And otherwise, you do not “need” this covenant to be good.

Generally, such recommendations are aimed at players who want or need to squeeze out those last percentages of their performance, like hardcore progression players. For everyone else: You will be better off with the covenant that you also like. In our special on MeinMMO, you can find more information on the covenants and their abilities.

Which covenant suits me? It depends on what you prefer. If you want to get the maximum out of your class, you should find out which covenant has the best ability for you. If style is more important to you, there are besides the Kyrian:

Venthyr, who represent a kind of noble Gothic vampires in Bloodborne style
Nekrolords, the army of the Shadowlands, focusing on brutalist style and many bones
Night Fae, who protect all living things and are close to nature

In our special issue on WoW Shadowlands, you will find even more about the covenants and how they fit into the story. The magazine will be mailed out at the release of the new expansion on November 24, if you pre-order it now.

Covenants are indeed the most important feature in Shadowlands, but not the only innovation. With the new addon, WoW receives numerous content that changes the game significantly in part. In our special, you will find everything about features, story, and content of Shadowlands.

Guild Wars 2 is doing better than it has in 2 years – Where does this suddenly come from?

Alexander Leitsch 17. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

NCSoft has released its report for the 3rd quarter of 2020. It includes the revenue figures for various games. Besides strong mobile titles, it is noticeable that especially Guild Wars 2 has seen significant growth. However, the outlook for other MMORPGs in the West is less favorable.

What do the numbers say? The Korean company has published the revenue figures for the months of July, August, and September. Generally, the company performed well. There is a slight upward trend compared to the previous quarter, which is primarily attributed to Lineage Mobile and Lineage 2M.

Surprisingly, the Western MMORPG Guild Wars 2 has also seen good gains. The third quarter was rather weak. With the new Fractal Sunqua Peak, there was only one major update.

Overall, the 3rd quarter of 2020 looks significantly better than the same quarter last year.

Guild Wars 2 Grows, Blade and Soul Is Weakening More and More

What is the situation with the various MMORPGs in the West?

Guild Wars 2 has been able to grow significantly. Revenue rose from 15.64 billion won (11.93 million euros) to 18.818 billion won (14.36 million euros). The MMORPG is performing as well as it last did in mid-2018. This can likely be explained mainly by some 50% sales of the MMORPG, a major birthday sale in the in-game shop in August, and the announcement of the 3rd expansion “End of Dragons”.
Blade & Soul, on the other hand, has lost significantly compared to the previous quarter. Although a new class was introduced, overall there has been too little happening. This is also evident from the fact that the engine update is still not available.
AION has stabilized somewhat but had its weakest quarter since release in Q2. Classic servers are currently being launched in Korea. However, in the West, there have been discussions about an auto-play feature.

What does NCSoft benefit from the most? The numbers and statistics indicate that especially the mobile games Lineage M and Lineage 2M make up the lion’s share of the revenue. Almost 300 million of the 446 million euros come from mobile games.

However, the older titles Lineage 1 and Lineage 2 have also seen slight gains.

What does the future hold? For 2021, NCSoft has already announced 3 new MMORPGs. Among them is the highly anticipated game Project TL, which, according to previous descriptions, is said to resemble Lost Ark or a Diablo MMORPG in gameplay.

For Guild Wars 2, there are plans in addition to the expansion. A roadmap with 4 major updates for the upcoming 7 months has been published. However, the Steam release originally planned for November has been postponed for now.

It could have possibly boosted the numbers even further, just as it did for Star Wars: The Old Republic this year. The MMORPG noticeably benefited from the release on Steam in terms of player numbers:
