Diablo 3: Season 22 start date is set – Here’s what’s in it

Patrick Freese 7. November 2020 Reading time 7 minutes

We now know when Season 22 in Diablo 3 starts. The date, which Blizzard has now officially set, is still in November. These changes are in Patch 2.6.10.

When does Season 22 start? As Blizzard announced, the new season in Diablo 3 starts on November 20, 2020. As usual, that’s a Friday. If the start goes smoothly, PC players should be able to enjoy the season starting at 5:00 PM.

Based on the start times of the last seasons, it is expected that Season 22 will start on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Nintendo Switch at 2:00 AM on November 21.

The end of Season 21 is November 8, 2020.

So what content, changes, and gifts does the new season in Diablo 3 offer? We will show you the changes in the patch notes here.

[toc]

The Season Theme – You summon Shadow Clones

The new Season 22 is called “Shadows of the Nephalem” and gives a rough idea of what the theme offers right from its name.

Whenever you activate a shrine or pylon in Season 22, the game creates a shadow clone of your class.

How strong is this? The clones scale with your character. The stronger you are, the stronger the clone. The shadow fights by your side for one minute. It can also die beforehand under certain circumstances.

In the following gallery, we will show you all the builds that will equip the clones of the respective classes. There are three builds per class clone.

The second bonus: Besides these shadow clones, you can expect another bonus in Season 22. This ensures that Kanai’s Cube prepares a fourth slot for you.

In this fourth slot, you can activate any property – whether weapon, armor, or jewelry does not matter. However, keep in mind that you cannot activate the same bonus twice in the cube. So you cannot activate the bonus of In-Geom twice.

Cosmetic Rewards in S22 – Here’s What You Can Win

What’s new? If you complete the Season Journey of Season 22 completely, you can expect two cosmetic rewards again. This time it is the portrait frame “Lost Civilization” and a new companion. “The Cain-Chronic” is the mobile book with a beard that will accompany you on your adventures.

What other rewards are there? With Season 17, Blizzard first introduced that players can earn cosmetic rewards from old seasons. So in S22, you can earn the rewards from S10 if you do not already own them. These are:

Head and shoulder protection of the exclusive set of the Conqueror
a series of portraits matching the black soulstone
The Storyteller’s Flag

Haedrig’s Gift – Here Are Your Starter Sets

What is this? If you work through the Season Journey with its different tasks in Season 22, you will be rewarded with set pieces. During the steps of the journey, you are supposed to kill certain bosses, such as key guardians, train your artisans, and complete a lot of tasks that you would anyway have to fulfill on the side.

The big reward is a complete class set when you finish the Season Journey at stages 2, 3, and 4. For each of these three stages, you receive a few set pieces, so that after stage 4 you have the complete set in your possession. Keep in mind that you must open all the gifts with the same class to receive a complete set.

The contents of the gifts always depend on which class you open the gifts with.

What sets are there? In Season 22, the distribution looks like this:

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

As you may notice, these are all the sets that were released for the classes in the last seasons. So anyone who took a break from Diablo 3 for a few months has a lot to discover here.

Diablo 3: Patch 2.6.10 Patch Notes – What’s Inside?

When is the update coming? Patch 2.6.10 releases on November 10 for Diablo 3, assuming everything goes according to plan. However, the bonuses from Season 22 will only be activated at the start of the season.

General: The stone gauntlets are now dropped for every class.

In addition, the Paragon gold finding bonus has been changed to an increased gold collection radius. This increases by 0.1 per point.

Changes to Items

New items: Completely new to the arsenal of Diablo 3 are Gelmindor’s Mark of Protection for Necromancers and Ursua’s Trampled Image for Witch Doctors.

Gelmindor’s Mark of Protection: Bone spears cast by simulacrums now deal 300 – 400% more damage.
Ursua’s Trampled Image: New legendary mojo for Witch Doctors. Increases the damage of Zombie Dogs by 100 – 150%. The Zombie Bears rune now summons 8 bears that continue to run.

Mantle of Channeling: The 1 second channeling time before the effect activates has been removed.
The Twisted Sword: Energy whirl now deals 125-150% more damage for each active energy whirl (up to a maximum of 5). Energy whirl now automatically gains the effect of the Furious Storm rune and the tornado can merge with three additional energy whirls.

Akkhan’s Armor: The set bonus (6 parts) has been increased from 1,500% to 2,000% damage bonus.
Roland’s Legacy: The set bonus (4 parts) has been increased from 13,000% to 17,500% damage bonus.
Seeker of Light: The set bonus (6 parts) now increases the damage of Blessed Hammer by 15,000% (previously 12,000%).
Belt of the Trove: Every 4 seconds, you rain bombardment down on a random nearby enemy. Bombardment deals 400–500% more damage.
The Mortal Drama: Doubles the number of hits from Bombardment. Bombardment deals 400–500% more damage.
Thorns of the Accursed: The set bonus (2 parts) has been reduced from 350% to 90% and is now stackable up to 10 times. The set bonus (6 parts) has been increased from 15,000% to 67,500% and the attack speed bonus has been increased from 50% to 100%.
Manajuma’s Gory Fetch: The bonus to the explosion damage of Angry Chicken has been increased from 400% to 2,000%. Manajuma’s Path now contains a third legendary affix that allows Angry Chicken to create a chicken that seeks out enemies every second and deals 25% of the explosion damage of the angry chicken.

Shenlong’s Spirit: The damage bonus has been increased from 200% to 350%.
Uliana’s Stratagem (set): Now provides a 77% damage reduction for 7 seconds after using Exploding Hand.
Gungdo Gear: The explosion triggered by the death of Exploding Hand also applies Exploding Hand to all detected enemies. The damage of Exploding Hand is increased by 75–100%.
Blade of the Tribes: War Cry and Threatening Shout trigger Landslide and Earthquake. Landslide and Earthquake deal 600–800% more damage. The affix of Blade of the Tribes for Earthquake has been integrated into a new legendary affix, so Earthquake is no longer strengthened by two affixes.

5 Tips to Farm a Lot of Gold in ESO Right Now

Larissa Then 7. November 2020 Reading time 6 minutes

In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), gold doesn’t grow on trees. If you want to earn some extra money, you have to farm. We will tell you how to do this well in our guide.

Money makes you happy. This applies to many MMORPGs, and The Elder Scrolls Online is no exception. You need gold for new equipment, if you want to engage in housing, for additional inventory space, or simply for consumables for raiding.

And the necessary pocket money certainly doesn’t grow on trees. We at MeinMMO want to give you some tips on how to earn good gold in ESO.

One thing in advance: An ESO+ membership is definitely worthwhile. It makes things much more convenient; otherwise, you will quickly run out of inventory space. However, it is not a must for most tips.

The right method

This is what you should start with: If you are still at the beginning and on your way to level 50, you can strive for additional gold in Public Dungeons. There are enemies that drop relatively high amounts of gold and equipment items. Additionally, you can level up. So it’s double practical. If you are in a hurry, we at MeinMMO have put together 5 good spots for power-leveling.

Especially set pieces can greatly boost your gold reserves. They can be found in chests or from bosses you encounter in the world. You can also obtain some sets through the PvP area Cyrodiil. Besides the gold and chests you receive for this, there are also motifs. You can trade these for sets or styles and sell them again.

Earn gold through crime: If you have a criminal streak, you can earn some good side money with pickpocketing. Enter houses and hide. If you remain undetected, you can loot cabinets and dressers and sell the items to a fence underground.

If you have a serious criminal streak, you can even become a murderer. If you kill NPCs in a city, you can loot a lot of stolen items.

However, use a character that you don’t intend to play otherwise. You will accumulate quite a bounty for this. If you want to earn money through crime, it pays off to invest some points in the “Sly and Cunning” skill tree.

Farming materials as the most popular method: However, the most common method is to farm ores, wood, and more. This way, you can achieve the best results without accruing a bounty, having to kill large monsters, or needing to engage in PvP.

Therefore, the rest of the tips will focus on this method. However, you can of course continue to mix in the others.

Adapt your character accordingly

These are the requirements: Of course, you can simply head out with a new character to gather wealth, but you will only find low-tier materials this way. While they provide less gold, they require no effort on your part.

If you want to make gold faster, you should focus on top-tier materials. You will get these when your character reaches maximum level. You will find more of them if you additionally learn a crafting skill, for example blacksmithing for ores.

The right race and class: If you are creating a brand new character for farming, Orcs are a good choice. They have lower costs for sprinting thanks to their racial abilities and are 10% faster. Additionally, they receive a bonus to stamina and crafting. A good choice for farming characters, even though Orcs were the least popular in your ranking.

Additionally, a Nightblade fits well. They come with the skill “Hidden Weapon”. As long as you have it equipped, you can run 25% faster while sneaking. You find it in the “Shadow” skill tree. This way, you can easily avoid any monsters.

In general, stamina-based characters are particularly suited for farming because you need to sprint a lot to progress well. And sprinting costs stamina.

There’s even more: To equip your character with even more useful stats, here are some options:

Mundus Stone: The Steed – This stone’s buff grants you 10% increased movement speed.
Bufffood: Longfin Pasty with Melon Sauce. This increases your three main stats: Health, Stamina, and Magicka. It’s never wrong to boost your character’s resources when farming, especially your stamina for sprinting.
Champion Points:
- Master Gatherer – Allows you to gather faster
- Abundant Harvest – Allows you to harvest double the amount with luck
- Both can be found in “The Lover”

Maximize movement speed

Talents for more speed: The Orc with its 10% speed and the Mundus Stone with the same bonus were mentioned earlier. This is because you should be maximally fast for effective farming. This way, you can gather more in a shorter time. There are also useful talents in class-independent skill trees that increase your speed:

Defensive Maneuver – Gives you 30% speed. This boost lasts for 7 seconds; you can find the skill in the Alliance War skill tree “Charge”.
Concentrated Acceleration – Also grants you 30% movement speed. The buff lasts 12 seconds; you find the ability in the Psijic Order skill tree.

Equipment for more speed: You can make your character even faster. However, keep in mind that you can never exceed 200% speed in ESO. You can enhance this even more with your equipment. A good choice for this are the 5-piece bonuses from the following sets:

Dark Step – Reduces stamina costs for sprinting and sneaking by 50 %
(Fiord’s Heritage – Reduces costs and increases sprint speed by 15 % each
Coward’s Outfit – You gain increased speed and greater protection while sprinting, resulting in an increased running speed and you take 30 % less damage
Escapist – Grants you permanently lesser speed, increasing your running speed by 15 %

In addition, there are jewelry items that you can transmute with “Fleet.” For a purple item, for instance, this can provide 5% extra speed. Additionally, there’s the Mythic Item “Ring of the Wild Hunt.” This grants you 45% speed when you are out of combat and 15% in combat. You can obtain it through the antiquity system introduced with Greymoor to ESO.

If you fancy trying a vampire, you can test a special build that allows you to sprint while sneaking:

Finding the perfect route

This is the suitable addon: To farm effectively, you naturally need a route. The addon “HarvestMap” can help with this. It remembers the spots where you have already found materials. This way, you can choose your routes according to your own taste or conveniently import data from other players. However, the addon is only available for PC.

These are sensible areas: It’s best to establish a round route. This way, the materials from the beginning will be back when your round is finished. Generally, small areas are well-suited for farming since the density of resources is often higher there.

Small areas include the starting zones of the three factions:

Khenarthi’s Rest
Auridon
Stros M’kai

However, you can also choose many other areas, depending on your preferences. It somewhat depends on what you want to achieve. For example, there are locations that don’t stand out for their resource density but offer exclusive materials that are correspondingly expensive. Quality over quantity, so to speak.

A good tip here is Kargstein, where you have the chance to obtain Nirnstone, which sells for a high price. Additionally, there are some chests there that you should always take with you when farming. The contents of such a chest can significantly increase your profits.

Here’s how to get rid of competition: Of course, you are not the only ones wanting to farm gold. If your route becomes heavily contested, you can prepare an alternative.

Alternatively, you can change instances by logging out or using a wayshrine. The mega servers of Tamriel are always portioned to a certain number of players, and if you switch, your competition might disappear.

Accumulating your money

This is how you create capital: To maximize your gold reserves, you can convert materials into items if you have skilled in crafting professions. This comes with a bit more risk, so you have to see what is important to you.

You can also use the materials to submit daily crafting writs. For this, you receive gold, level up your crafting, and also have the chance of obtaining items alongside it. For example, to upgrade your equipment.

Otherwise, it’s all about saving, saving, saving. Maybe not buying every little thing for your house or teleporting to a wayshrine every 5 meters without using another one.

This is how you increase your capital: Besides farming, you can also flip items. However, you need a certain amount of capital and a feel for the market in ESO. This way, you can buy things and sell them for profit. Joining a trading guild is recommended for this.

The easier way, especially for beginners, is undoubtedly farming, as you can’t incur losses here. However, if you are further along, you can multiply your saved wealth this way. And if you don’t feel like farming, we at MeinMMO suggest 5 things to do in ESO when you are bored.

In addition to those listed here, there are surely another 100 methods to earn good gold in ESO. What tips do you have up your sleeve? Let us know in the comments!

Dr Disrespect cannot play CoD Cold War before release – Blames Twitch

Jürgen Horn 7. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The controversial streamer Dr Disrespect is not allowed to stream the upcoming Call of Duty: Cold War before the release. Other streamers, however, can. The Doc sees this as a targeted devaluation and blames the Twitch ban for it.

What happened? Various well-known streamers received a so-called “Creator Code” from Activision. With this, they can freely play and stream the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in advance. Among them are famous streamers such as TimTheTatman and Nicmercs. The Doc, on the other hand, surprisingly received nothing.

This is all the more strange, as the Doc is especially famous for his streams of Call of Duty games, and he was also an official Call of Duty streamer for a long time. Therefore, the Doc sees no coincidence here, but rather a deliberate avoidance tactic by the publisher.

Is the Doc now damaged goods?

What does the Doc say about it? For Dr Disrespect, the issue likely stems from his Twitch ban. For seemingly no reason the popular streaming platform banned the Doc and thus crippled his basis for work. The Doc had to find a new home on YouTube, where he continues his activities. The official reasons for the ban are still unknown, but there is much speculation.

However, since the Doc feels he is being deliberately ignored by Activision, he sees this as a plan. They presumably want nothing more to do with him to avoid negative associations. The same seems to apply to the chat platform Discord, which has removed the Doc as an official partner. In a video here, you can see how the Doc reacts.

Here the Doc speaks out.

I was a CoD partner for 3 years. I loved it! Who wouldn’t want to be an official CoD partner? Then you’re thrown off a platform [he means Twitch] for reasons we still don’t know. We really don’t know anything! And then suddenly Activision comes along … I mean, I streamed the last 2 CoD games so much … [longer pause]

The Doc then eventually stops, frustratedly staring into the camera, and goes back to killing in the Warzone. But it is clear that the Doc is visibly affected by it. While the other streamers are enjoying themselves in Cold War, he has no choice but to haunt Warzone.

On the other hand, it is still unclear what exactly lies behind the Doc’s ban, and Activision might know things that make it highly problematic from their perspective to remain associated with him. The Doc, on the other hand, still seems to have trouble accepting the ban. In a very emotional stream, he was quite clear about it.

Destiny 2: Secret weapon from Beyond Light leaked – Xbox is to blame

Philipp Hansen 7. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Players have found a new weapon and armor in Destiny 2 from Beyond Light. It is said to be another Exotic from Season 12.

What is the deal with the weapon? On November 10, the Beyond Light expansion launches. In recent weeks, Bungie has excited players with many trailers and information about the DLC. Particularly, the new 10 Exotics have been received very well.

When the roadmap for Season 12 was presented, players were a bit puzzled. There are 12 new Exotics mentioned by name. In addition to the already introduced items, 2 more weapons are joining:

Hawkmoon
Duality

That “Hawkmoon” is returning was clear, as Destiny head Luke Smith announced this a few months ago. This leaves only the mystery: What is the deal with “Duality”?

This has now been leaked: Players found a new image of the Beyond Light expansion in the Xbox Store, specifically on the rewards page there.

In the image, we see a Titan in front, carrying an unknown weapon. Additionally, the armors of the three Guardians have not been seen anywhere yet.

The image likely shows a secret Exotic and armor from the Season of the Hunt

This is said to be the Exotic shotgun Duality: Like all information about the new expansion, this news is being closely examined by the Destiny community. On Raidsecrets (via reddit), the Guardians concluded – this is Duality, the new Exotic shotgun:

The weapon looks too elaborate for a legendary gun
It is a hunting shotgun, as it doesn’t have a scope like a sniper rifle or scout and lacks a large magazine like an LMG
Players have known concept art of a double-barreled shotgun since Forsaken (via reddit) – it fits that the typical “Dreaming City” decoration seems to be at the bottom of the weapon’s barrel
In summer 2020, some leaks about a secret shotgun named Duality surfaced (via Twitter)
According to the leak, it should feature 2 different fire modes: Hip-firing will shoot a buckshot, while aiming will fire a slug like the Chaperone

Given this information, the Guardians conclude that what we see in the image is the exotic shotgun Duality. However, keep in mind that this is by no means official information from Bungie, and it could also be a different weapon.

Where will the items come from? The detectives among the Guardians are divided on the source from which you will get the weapon and the armors in Beyond Light. However, two theories have emerged:

This is the gear from the new Season Pass: This is suggested by the way the image is structured. The promo material from previous seasons looked very similar. You often saw 3 Guardians wearing new armors and proudly holding the special season weapon in front of the camera.
This is equipment from the new raid of Beyond Light: It is clear that a new raid exotic and special armors from the Deep Stone Crypt are coming. However, Bungie traditionally keeps images or information about them until the World First race. We only have a small teaser image – on which players say they can see the distinctive helmet of the Titan.

What did Xbox accidentally show here? Do you also assume that we are dealing with the shotgun Duality and now know all weapon Exotics from Beyond Light?

Recently, there was another leak about a Bungie game. However, it doesn’t concern Destiny 2, but the new IP Matter. However, whether that is true is highly questionable. It just sounds too good to be true…

“Leak” about Bungie’s new game sounds like the dream of every Destiny fan

Pokémon GO distributes strong egg bonus to everyone, lasts for a week

Patrick Freese 7. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The egg-hatching distance in Pokémon GO has surprisingly been reduced to 1/4. When you hatch eggs, it works super fast in the coming days. But why is there this bonus?

What kind of bonus is this? Niantic, the developers of Pokémon GO, announced the new bonus on the night of Saturday, November 7.

They explain that you now only need a quarter of the actual distance to hatch the eggs. So to hatch a 5 km egg, you now only need to cover about 1.25 kilometers. The bonus applies to all egg types in the game that you can hatch.

Keep in mind: You will only see this bonus when you place eggs in the incubator. The bonus is not displayed directly at the eggs. Eggs that were already in the incubator before the event starts also do not receive this bonus.

How long does the bonus last? The reduced hatching distance will be active in the game for about a week. Niantic explains that this bonus ends on November 13 at 3 PM PT, which corresponds to 00:00 AM on November 14 in German time.

Attention: Keep in mind the current restrictions on going outside due to Corona in your region. However, you do not necessarily have to go outside to hatch eggs. You can also conveniently hatch the eggs in Pokémon GO from home.

Keep in mind that there is currently a risk of contracting the coronavirus for yourself and others. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying at home as much as possible, keeping distance from others, and avoiding gatherings of people.

Why is there this bonus?

Android is “to blame”: On Twitter, Niantic’s support account explains why this bonus is available in the game now. Previously, there were persistent issues with Adventure Sync on Android devices. This is the feature that counts your steps and distances traveled, even when Pokémon GO is turned off. You can also find Pokémon with the app closed.

The developers write: “Thank you for your understanding while we worked on the problems affecting Adventure Sync on Android 9 and older versions. As a token of appreciation for your patience, we are now launching the 1/4-hatching distance bonus, which will remain in effect until [November 14 at 00:00].” (via Twitter)

The shorter egg hatching distance also helps you with one of the new research tasks for the cartoon week, which are currently active in Pokémon GO.

How do you like that all players benefit from this bonus, even though the problems only existed on Android? Are you using this while exercising in your own four walls and quickly hatching your Pokémon?

FIFA 21: RTTF event has started – Davies & Zakaria are included

Max Handwerk 6. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Tonight, on November 6th, the “Road to the Final” event starts in FIFA 21. The road to the final brings strong Champions League cards – who could be there?

When does the event start? The “Road to the Final” started tonight at 7 PM. The players are currently available in packs as well as on the transfer market. In addition, there are weekly objectives and SBC players.

This is the RTTF event: The Road-to-the-Final cards that come into play for the RTTF event are directly related to the Champions League. Players from teams participating in the European competition can receive special cards here. There are also some cards related to the Europa League.

The special thing about RTTF cards is that they become stronger the further the player’s team progresses in the competition. Last year, it was Bayern players like Coman who were extremely strong in the end – Bayern Munich ultimately won the competition.

Once a team is eliminated, the upgrades for the respective cards end. Surprising results in real football can thus have a direct impact on the strength of the cards, and therefore the transfer market. This creates a lot of excitement – in FIFA 19, the transfer market was shaken up significantly one evening.

Road to the Final – These players are involved

These players are involved: The RTTF team consists of many players from top teams who can further improve over the course of the season. Here you can see the entire team overview:

GK: Oblak (92)
RF: Salah (91)
ST: Griezmann (88)
LM: Rashford (86)
CDM: Zakaria (85)
LM: Perisic (84)
LM: Taison (84)
LB: Davies (84)
CB: Klostermann (83)
ST: Muriel (82)
CM: Sanson (82)

These players are particularly exciting: In principle, all players in the team have the potential to become exciting, depending on how far they progress. From a Bundesliga perspective, however, three cards are particularly interesting: Davies, Zakaria, and Klostermann.

All three are already very popular Bundesliga cards and would, even in their unenhanced form, be very good additions to Bundesliga teams. If they receive further upgrades, they will become even more interesting.

For Premier League players, an interesting card is Mason Mount from Chelsea FC in the player SBCs. In the weekly objectives, you can find an RTTF variant of Sevilla defender Koundé.

Additionally, the Weekend League also started again on Friday. Here you can find tips for more wins in FUT Champions.

Borderlands 3: New DLC introduces 4 new skill trees – How strong will they be

Max Handwerk 6. November 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

Next week, Zane, Amara, Moze, and FL4K will receive new skills in Borderlands 3. What do the new skill trees offer?

When is the DLC coming out? The new “Designers Cut” DLC will be released on Tuesday, November 10, as part of the new Season Pass 2. It brings a lot of content even before the Borderlands 3 launch on NextGen.

What’s included in the DLC? For one, the Designers Cut includes the new mode “Arms Race” (or in English: Plüller-Parade). This corresponds to a roguelike mode that throws you into the Stormblind Complex, where you must quickly grab equipment to survive.

But the new mode isn’t all that’s included in the new Season Pass. The Designers Cut also brings new skill trees for your Vault Hunters, which have been announced for a long time and are finally coming.

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

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

In the trailer above, you can see the skills in action – and below we will take a closer look at the trees.

Zane, the Pro

Here’s what’s included in Zane’s new skills: The Agent has acquired a fancy new toy – a shoulder cannon. The nice thing is that since Zane can always equip two skills, you will not miss out on the clone, the drone, or the shield – depending on what you like the most.

Zane Cannon — The cannon is suitable for quick shots

The advantage of the cannon is that Zane has previously made good use of buffs that are active during the triggered action skills. After all, all his skills are long-term active. However, the so-called MNTIS cannon only shoots briefly and thus triggers effects more often that occur at the beginning and end of an action skill.

Furthermore, you can unlock a grappling hook for the cannon that pulls enemies in. This way, you can now also go for melee damage, which hasn’t really been Zane’s thing before. Additional skills that cause more damage and speed are also included.

Moze gets a new pet

Here’s what’s included in Moze’s new skills: Moze is primarily known for jumping into her fancy mech and shooting everything to bits from there. With the new skill tree, she gets the action skill “Iron Cub” as well. This is a smaller version of Iron Bear, which now fights alongside Moze and wreaks havoc on enemies. Basically, it’s a bit like Zane’s clone.

The advantage is that you can fight well outside of Iron Bear, but still gain action skill bonuses from buffs and abilities. Additionally, the new “Mother Bear” tree is fully focused on fire damage. So, for example, you get more health from igniting enemies, or you can extend the duration of Iron Bear or Iron Cub.

Amara plays volleyball

Here’s what’s included in Amara’s new skills: Amara gets a cool new ability called “Phaseflare”. This is an energy ball that can be shot directly in the faces of enemies. The catch: If Amara strikes the ball, it gets even stronger and deals more damage to enemies. If you need high damage values, this ability should be perfect.

Additionally, Amara gains the ability to convert her elemental damage into cryo and simultaneously has the ability to temporarily ignore the elemental resistances of enemies. This way, you can deal plenty of elemental damage, no matter who or what you are fighting against.

FL4K lets loose the bot

Here’s what’s included in FL4K’s new skills: In terms of abilities, FL4K learns a new trick called “Gravitational Trap”. This small tool pulls your enemies together and gives you the opportunity to line up many enemies for a shot. Alternatively, you can also send your pets after them.

Speaking of pets: The Beastmaster now also has a Loader Bot in his repertoire. And this bot can make use of rockets, shotguns, or sniper rifles – depending on how you distribute your skills. And it, too, will be happy about easily hit targets thanks to the Gravitational Trap.

Furthermore, FL4K gets a lot of skills in the new skill tree that revolve around his shield capacity, making him noticeably more resilient. And since FL4K is a good Beastmaster, he can also equip his pets with shields.

What’s next for Borderlands? Even in the future, Borderlands 3 will continue to receive more content – and it will be playable on the new consoles from the start. Here you can find out what’s next for Borderlands 3.

Benedikt Schlotmann 6. November 2020 Reading time 6 minutes

What is the best accessory for your new Xbox console? In this article, MeinMMO presents accessories that you can use with your console.

The most important thing in brief:

In this article, you will find an Xbox battery pack, charging station, controller and headset recommendations, and the official storage expansion for the Xbox Series X|S. Additionally, a television that definitely supports HDMI 2.1 is presented.
The Xbox accessories are definitely compatible with the Xbox Series X|S, as they come either directly from Microsoft or from a certified third-party manufacturer.
The accessories presented are designed to make gaming on your new console easier.

What do you need accessories for? You can connect several devices to the Xbox Series X that you can use additionally. These include additional controllers, as well as good gaming headsets or an external hard drive.

The article was published on November 6, 2020. It is continuously updated and extended with current accessories for the Xbox Series X|S.

[toc]

Xbox Play & Charge Kit M

What is this? This is a battery set for Xbox controllers. It works with both the old “Xbox One” and the new “Xbox Series X” controllers.

You can charge the battery either in standby mode or while gaming. According to Microsoft, the battery should be fully charged in four hours.

By the way, the Xbox controller only contains regular batteries; therefore, the battery set is a sensible long-term upgrade for gaming.

Controller Stand: Twin Docking Station

What is this? This charging station allows you to charge two Xbox controllers simultaneously. An LED on the docking station indicates whether your controllers are fully charged.

This docking station also comes with two rechargeable battery packs that you can use with your Xbox controller.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S

What is this? The Seagate storage expansion card is the official expansion for Xbox Series X and S. This is particularly worthwhile for users with many games. You can integrate it directly into the Xbox Series X. All games that you install on the storage thus directly benefit from the speed of the Xbox Series X.

If you are already using an external device on the Xbox One, you can easily use it on the Series X and even start the old games directly there.

Who should consider the new storage card? However, if you are thinking about a new storage medium, you should go for the new card. Not only does it have a significantly higher write speed, making it faster to save and move files, but it will also be important later when there are many next-gen games.

Xbox Elite Controller

What is this? Are you looking for a controller that focuses on great quality, high battery life, and feels good in your hand? Then check out the Xbox Elite Controller.

This is what the Xbox Elite Controller offers: In addition to great workmanship, the controller guarantees support for the Xbox Series X. The “Xbox Elite Controller” is among the best controllers available for the Xbox Series X. Additionally, it offers an enormous variety of accessories. Along with the controller, you get a USB-C charging cable, a charging station, 6 thumbsticks, 4 paddles, 2 D-pads, and a tool to adjust the thumbstick. The package is completed with a travel case.

Things to note: A disadvantage is its comparatively high weight. The Elite 2 weighs about 350 grams, making it significantly heavier than comparable controllers. However, if you don’t mind the price, you get the best Xbox controller currently on the market.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Additional Xbox Controller

What is this? The Xbox Series X|S comes with a new Xbox controller. But if you want to play cooperatively on your new next-gen console or want a different color, you can buy another one.

In direct comparison, the design of the launch controller for the Xbox Series X has changed significantly. How good the new Xbox controller is has been explained in detail here.

In direct comparison with the launch controller of the Xbox Series X, three changes stand out immediately. The new controller features the new Share button, and the D-pad has also been redesigned.

More controllers for Xbox and PC: If you are looking for more controllers, check here: MeinMMO presents the best controllers for Xbox and PC that you can buy in 2020. Many controllers remain compatible with the Xbox Series X.

Xbox Adaptive Controller

Who is the controller suitable for? The Xbox Adaptive Controller is designed for people with mobility impairments. Therefore, the controller mainly targets these players. The base station resembles a rectangular box and features two very large buttons, a D-pad, and menu buttons.

The Adaptive Controller does not need to be held in the hands; it can also be placed on a table in front of the player. Another good aspect is that the controller works on both PC and Xbox One/Series X|S.

While additional controls like switches, buttons, mounts, and joysticks can be connected to the station via USB, you need to purchase these separately.

Buy Xbox Adaptive Controller starting at 89.99 Euros directly from Microsoft*.

TV with HDMI 2.1: LG CX9

What the television offers: The LG OLED TV supports Nvidia G-SYNC, among other things, and is one of the TV devices that are suitable for next-gen. Thanks to a fast response time of 1 ms and support for VRR, ALLM thanks to HDMI 2.1, you can utilize all modern features of HDMI 2.1 with your Xbox Series X. This way, nothing stands in the way of gaming at high frame rates.

Gaming Headsets for Xbox Series X|S

Here are two headsets that are suitable for the Xbox Series X. You can find more strong gaming headsets for the Xbox Series X in MeinMMO’s buying guide.

SteelSeries Arctis 9X

What does the headset offer? If you are looking for a headset with balanced sound, high wearing comfort, and good microphone quality, you should check out the gaming headset from SteelSeries. It sits well on the head and offers clear sound. Thanks to “Dual Wireless,” the headset can connect to Bluetooth-enabled devices such as smartphones while simultaneously using wireless with the Xbox. A brand alternative to the Arctis 9X in the same price segment is the new Razer Kaira Pro.

Things to note: The bass is not as balanced as the rest of the sound profile. The original price is around 200 Euros, which is somewhat high, but those interested should definitely take advantage of any offers.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Turtle Beach 700 Gen 2

What does the headset offer? Similar to the SteelSeries Arctis 9X, the Turtle Beach headset offers good sound quality and high wearing comfort. Compared to its predecessor, much has improved and Gen 2 also impresses with a better microphone. Like the Arctis 9X, the Turtle Beach headset also offers “Dual Wireless.”

Things to note: The gaming headset sits very tightly on the head, also due to the Aerofit ear cushions. So keep in mind that the wearing comfort may vary depending on the user. Some testers report that the headset can be quite tight on larger heads. The app “Turtle Beach Audio Hub” is also not very intuitive and takes some getting used to.

The 1st mythical weapon in CoD Mobile is great, but also super expensive

Benedict Grothaus 6. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty: Mobile a new tier of rare weapons has been introduced today, on November 6th: mythical. The first weapon of this tier is the “Fennec – Ascended” (engl.: “Ascended”). It is strong, but bothers players with its high price.

What kind of weapon is it? The Fennec – Ascended is the first mythical weapon in Call of Duty: Mobile. The skin comes with special attachments and effects, similar to legendary weapons.

The twist with mythical weapons is that they can be further upgraded. You unlock various effects such as kill animations or additional setups. The attachments thematically match the skin of the weapon. Effects can be adjusted in the Gunsmith feature.

How good is it? In terms of performance, the Fennec seems really strong and can easily compete with the best weapons in CoD Mobile. It is the first primary weapon that allows you to use Akimbo, meaning you can carry two weapons at once.

This makes it particularly strong in close combat. As it is a submachine gun, you are also fast with the Fennec and can play ideally in “Run&Gun” style. If you master the expert technique of the 6-finger claw, you should be a true nightmare for opponents.

The expert iFerg has already bought the weapon and fully upgraded it. In the video, he shows how strong it is:

The Fennec is only legendary – Unless you pay

How much does the Fennec cost? To get the new skin, you first have to get it in the Lucky Draw. The chance of receiving the Fennec immediately is only 0.08%.

Assuming you have to pay for the entire draw and receive all other items first, it will cost you 14,730 CoD Points. This equates to around €220 if you buy the largest package with 8000 points (each package costs 109.99 €).

However, that is not all. If you purchased the Fennec for this price, you only own the base version. The upgrades for up to 8 levels of the weapon require a new currency, which you can only buy once you own the mythical skin.

At this stage, it is largely random how much money you will have to spend again on upgrading, as the number of upgrade tokens you receive is determined by a lottery.

This is why it’s so frustrating: You do receive the Akimbo perk with the base version, but if you want to fully utilize the Fennec’s potential, you must fully upgrade it. Consequently, the reactions have been negative.

In a larger thread on reddit, players complain that the price is simply too high. The weapon is indeed really good, but they find it unfair to buy something unfinished and then have to expand it with money:

There is no way to unlock these levels through grind? Save your money, guys. It’s not worth it.

As long as the Fennec is not equipped with the corresponding upgrades, it is not much better than a regular legendary weapon. For many players, this is a reason to express their frustration.

Currently, there has been no reaction from the developers to the criticism. However, many players agree that something needs to change here.

With some bad luck, the Fennec might even be directly affected. This has happened with another new weapon: The NA-45 was banned immediately after its release, at least for tournaments.

Shock for PS5 fans in Germany – MediaMarkt and Saturn could deliver later

Max Handwerk 6. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Are pre-ordered PS5 consoles arriving later for players than expected? Currently, emails from Saturn and MediaMarkt are going out to pre-order customers announcing a possible delay.

This is the email: If you have pre-ordered the PS5 from MediaMarkt or Saturn, you should check your inbox. Because currently, emails from the stores are going out that indicate a possible delay in deliveries.

At both Saturn and MediaMarkt, the messages are similar in wording. They state that “due to the very high demand for orders, we cannot guarantee […], that you will receive the desired item by the release date on November 19, 2020. We ask for your understanding and sincerely apologize for this.”

They are currently in contact with the manufacturer to deliver to all pre-order customers as quickly as possible. Both in social media and in comments here at MeinMMO, reports about the email are accumulating; some members of the editorial team are also affected.

Whether it is a mass email that was generally sent to all pre-order customers is still unclear at this point. We will keep you updated on this.

When will the PS5 arrive then? The email does not provide any new delivery date that the affected customers could expect. However, it is also explicitly not stated that the PS5 will definitely be delayed – it is merely the announcement that there may be a delay. A precise shipping date cannot currently be reliably provided, the message states.

However, it is certain that you will not be able to get a PS5 in retail on the release day. Sony confirmed this recently.

LoL should grow from the small map with 3 lanes to a huge universe

Alexander Leitsch 6. November 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In 2009, the game League of Legends was released and was seen by many as a clone of the Warcraft 3 mod Dota. Today, however, LoL is one of the most influential games. This is also due to many decisions that were made surrounding the game. One of them was the creation of a virtual band that even appeals to non-gamers.

What makes LoL so significant? League of Legends is a phenomenon. In 2019, it was the PC game with the most players worldwide. When the World Championships are on, tens of millions of viewers tune in. The influence of the game is huge. According to the website Esports Observer, LoL was by far the most influential game on the market in Q3 2020 – measured by game hours, watched hours, and tournaments.

Fans are still playing or watching on the same map as they did 10 years ago. It has been revised in details and graphics, but still fundamentally consists of the 3 lanes and the jungle in between.

Yet in 2020, there is much more surrounding League of Legends than just the map “Summoner’s Rift”. There are new games like TFT or LoR, huge events in the real world, social media profiles of champions, and even virtual pop bands.

During a virtual press conference attended by MeinMMO, Riot Games spoke about the background of the band and confidently stated that it is about more than just a video game.

“We want to create pop moments that everyone remembers”

What does LoL do to become even more famous? One of the most successful campaigns surrounding the LoL universe was the creation of the virtual band K/DA. They released their song “Popstars” during the LoL Worlds 2018. On YouTube, it has more than 380 million views.

What was the idea behind K/DA? The formation of the band was a promotional campaign to advertise new skins for the characters in the game. However, according to Riot, there is more to it.

Its big goal was to connect LoL with music and “to create pop moments that everyone remembers”. This is how Patrick Morales, the Creative Director for Marketing at Riot Games, described it.

This was likely achieved with the appearance at the LoL Worlds 2018, when the essentially virtual champions even stood on stage.

Link to the YouTube content

With the music, they also want to excite not only existing LoL players but also reach new target groups. These include both gamers and people who do not play. According to their own statement, this has also been successful, as evidenced by good chart positions on Spotify and iTunes.

Today, on November 6, the first complete album of the band titled “ALL/OUT” has been released.

K/DA is not the only music project: The band K/DA is not the only project that Riot Games has regarding music. With their songs for new champions, they have repeatedly drawn attention.

One of the best-known examples is “Get Jinxed”, the song for champion Jinx. The video from 2013 has nearly 100 million views.

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

Besides these individual songs, there are two other projects – Pentakill and True Damage:

Pentakill is somewhat like a precursor to K/DA. Here too, there are songs related to LoL, but without the singers or champions being in the foreground.
True Damage, on the other hand, is a hip-hop group and essentially works like K/DA. It was established in 2019 and has skins designed by Louis Vuitton.

However, music is still far from all that makes up the universe of LoL.

“Players love to interact with their champions”

What is Riot doing to engage fans further? In recent months, the developers have increasingly focused on social media profiles for the champions. On Twitter, Instagram, and Weibo, for example, you can find the band K/DA, but also the newest champion Seraphine.

They tell stories from their lives, interact with followers, and even host challenges. According to Patrick Morales, this is received quite well:

Just like with real pop stars, we wanted our players to be able to interact with them like with real people – through social media.
Something we also recently found out through in-game events like Spirit Blossom is that our players love to interact with their champions.
Patrick Morales in the press conference on K/DA

Does that always go well? However, the approachability of the champions isn’t well received by everyone. There is currently a lot of criticism surrounding Seraphine. This is based not only on her gameplay and background story but also on the aspect that she seems too human.

In a rough and brutal world like Runeterra, where many wars take place and champions constantly betray one another, a character with pop star-like qualities and at the same time strong self-doubts doesn’t fit the image for many.

The huge LoL universe

League of Legends already includes much more than just this one map and this one game mode. And this is also expected to continue into the future.

Morales promised in the press conference that there are further plans for K/DA and the expansion of the LoL universe towards music.

However, there will also be new features gameplay-wise. One is the single-player game “Ruined King: A League of Legends Story,” which is set to be released in 2021. This will be a turn-based role-playing game for PC and consoles.

Also in 2021, the mobile and console version of League of Legends, called Wild Rift, will be released. All important information about the game and the beta starting in December can be found here:

WoW: Level expert levels character to level 50 in record time

Cortyn 6. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Reaching the maximum level in World of Warcraft – in 3.5 hours? It is possible, as this professional demonstrates.

In the last days of the expansion Battle for Azeroth, records are falling once again. Especially the player DesMephisto keeps outdoing himself every few days, setting new achievements in leveling speed. He has once again beaten his own record – leveling a Death Knight to level 50 in 3 hours and 33 minutes.

Alliance 10 to 50 in 3hrs and 33 minutes (video guide instead alongside actual video) from r/wow

How does it work? Basically, the stars are currently aligned for particularly fast leveling, as several bonuses coincide.

Buff from the Darkmoon Faire – it gives a 10% bonus XP through a carousel buff
16th anniversary of WoW – this gives an additional 16% XP
The bonus from the War Mode is also significantly strong depending on the region

Additionally, there are many small enhancements. Such as an enchantment for increased movement speed on the shoes or the XP potion available from the warfront vendor. Moreover, allied races start at level 10, which reduces leveling time by several minutes.

Which area did he play? The leveling route is quite simple:

Darkmoon Faire (for the buff and accepting quests)
Elwynn Forest
Redridge Mountains
Duskwood
Intro to “Warlords of Draenor”
Shadowmoon Valley
Loch Modan
Gorgrond

Particularly helpful is the mole machine that Dark Iron Dwarves can use. This is basically an additional teleport to specific places in the game, such as Stormwind, for a quick stop at the fair. This saves one use of the Hearthstone and ensures even shorter travel times.

You can see the exact description in the video:

At this point you will find external content from Twitch that complements the article.

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 Twitch content

All of this combined reduces the necessary leveling time to a minimum of 3 hours and 33 minutes. However, DesMephisto believes he could still be a little faster. Towards the end, he was hunted by “stream snipers” who wanted to ruin his run and chased him in PvP.

Who is DesMephisto? Many players may know DesMephisto as the “crazy one” who has leveled nearly 50 warriors to the maximum level. He consistently sets new records in leveling speed. He usually plays a warrior, but occasionally takes on other classes.

Recently, an item in WoW was even named after him, which you will likely find more frequently in the auction house in the upcoming expansion Shadowlands.

What is your fastest leveling time in World of Warcraft? Do you think hunting for such records is good?

What happens when you connect a PS4 controller to the PS5

Benedikt Schlotmann 6. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

What can you actually do with the old PS4 controller on the PlayStation 5? We present to you what you can do with the DualShock 4 on the PS5 and where its functions stop.

So far, the tests for the PS5 have been published, but what about the old DualShock 4 controller? We present to you how you can use the old PS4 controller on the PS5 and what it can actually do.

Connecting the PS4 controller to the PS5: If you’ve already gamed on the PlayStation 4, you don’t need to adjust, as everything remains the same.

You connect your DualShock 4 to the PlayStation 5 using a microUSB cable to connect them. Afterwards, you can also use the controller via Bluetooth on the PS5.

Update: 11/9/2020: Ambiguous wording adjusted.

Using DualShock 4 on the PS5, but it can’t do everything

What can the DualShock do? Once you have connected your old controller to the PlayStation 5, you can do various things with it. You can…

use and navigate the PS5 user interface
launch and use apps
and also launch games.
You can also play old PS4 games with your DualShock 4.

What can’t the DualShock 4 do? With the last point, you are limited, as you can launch new PS5 games with the old PS4 controller, but you cannot actually play them.

Because once you start a PS5 game, you need to switch to the DualSense controller. If you start Astro’s Playroom, which is pre-installed on every PS5, you will receive a prompt from the console that you need to connect your DualSense. At this point, your DualShock will no longer work. Sony had already stated that PS5 games do not work with the PS4 controller.

So you cannot use your PS4 controller to play PS5 games. Conversely, it is possible that you can also use your new DualSense controller to play PS4 games.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Games like Marvel’s Spiderman: Miles Morales cannot be played with the PS4 controller

What about third-party controllers? The same applies to third-party controllers that are licensed for PlayStation: These work with PS4 games but not with the latest PS5 titles.

And if you haven’t noticed yet: The DualSense has a cool detail that many gamers tend to overlook. And this detail has a specific reason.

PS5: Most overlook this cool detail on the new DualSense controller

PS5 vs. Xbox Series X loading times: Which one loads your games faster?

Patrick Freese 6. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The testers of the Xbox Series X and the PS5 have shared their results online. Which one is ahead in loading times? We show you the comparison.

There are only a few days left for you to wait to have your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X (or S) in your hands. Right now, in this hot phase, new information on the consoles is particularly exciting. After all, you want to know what you have pre-ordered.

For us gamers, loading times are an important point. Which console loads new and older online games faster and where does each one fall short?

We looked at tests from the international press and evaluated them. As of today, November 6, 2020, the first reviews for the PlayStation 5 are available.

Loading Time Comparison Between PS5 and Xbox Series X

What is being compared here? The two next-gen consoles

By the way, you can’t start PS5 games from the external hard drive of the PS5.

We found specific tests on these loading times at GameSpot and TrustedReviews.

This is what GameSpot shows: In the test, the magazine compared the loading times of Destiny 2 (with pre-patch), Final Fantasy XV, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Monster Hunter World. For almost all games, the Xbox Series X is in the lead. Sometimes just narrowly, sometimes decisively.

Specific situations in the games are shown, such as loading a save state or the comparison of the time from startup to menu on both consoles.

The games were installed on the internal hard drives of both consoles. (Via GameSpot.com)

Game	PS5 (Min:Sec)	Xbox Series X (Min:Sec)
Batman: Arkham Knight (Startup to Menu)	0:41.39	0:40.35

Destiny 2 nerfs Hunters in Beyond Light – Preview of the Patch Notes in the DLC

Philipp Hansen 6. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny 2 changes the sandbox with Beyond Light. We show you here the highlights from the Patch Notes Preview. Included are Exotics that are finally endgame-worthy and Hunters who are being nerfed.

On November 10, the expansion Destiny 2: Beyond Light will be released and aims to satisfy the content hunger of players. Guardians can expect to explore two fresh locations, enjoy new Stasis classes and a ton of new loot to collect.

With the DLC, Destiny 2 is also significantly changing the sandbox. Bungie has now given another preview of the Patch Notes that will be coming up on Tuesday’s reset.

MeinMMO summarizes the most important info from the last TWaB before Beyond Light. More on buffs and nerfs of legendary and exotic weapons we have for you here:

More on the topic

Destiny 2 nerfs some of the best weapons in Beyond Light – This is what will change

von Sven Galitzki

What now happens with the Hunters? The Destiny developer announced that the class ability of all Hunters, namely dodging, will have a longer cooldown. We are talking about “a few seconds”.

Bungie gives a small example: Level 4 (with Mobility), old cooldown: 22 seconds, new cooldown: 26 seconds.

The class ability of the Hunters (base 28 seconds) charges significantly faster than that of Warlocks (base 1:57 seconds) and Titans (base: 52 seconds).
With the right mods or the appropriate stats, Hunters could almost permanently execute the useful dive roll; at level 10 the next roll was available after 9 seconds.
Especially in PvP, some Hunters have gotten used to always having a dodge jump ready.
How scaling works at other levels (1-10) is currently unknown.

Otherwise, no existing class or subclass receives significant adjustments. To be expected, as the focus is entirely on the new Stasis classes.

These changes are still coming to Destiny 2: Beyond Light

This is how Exotics become more relevant in endgame: Starting with Beyond Light, you will no longer install all Anti-Champion mods on your weapons, but on your armor.

This wish has been long wished for by the community, as no additional mod fits on Exotic weapons.
Without these mods, it was nearly impossible to deal with the frequently occurring champions in endgame.
However, Bungie says nothing about other mods like recoil control or increased boss damage.

In line with this, these two Exotics will receive a fix:

Chosen of the Traveler: The intensity of the muzzle flash has been reduced
Divinity: A problem was fixed where some weapons could not deal precision damage to the Divinity dome (e.g. Ariana’s Vow).

This is interesting for the Trials: Anyone who wants to participate in the Trials of Osiris in the future must have a minimum power level of 1,210. Keep in mind that all players will automatically be 1,050 on November 10 and can level up to 1,200 (soft cap) very quickly.

A new Trials requirement is therefore not an impossible effort. However, it may still be harder for many cheaters with so-called “throwaway accounts” to ruin your rounds, as they will first have to invest time in leveling.

With this, Destiny is making it a bit harder for dishonest players. Just recently, they tackled the cheater problem at the root.

What do you think of the changes to the Exotics that finally get a place in the crucible? Are you cheering as a Titan and Warlock, or has Bungie always had it in for you Hunters?

On November 10, we can expect a true tome of patch notes. If you want to get up to speed beforehand, you can take a look here: Haven’t played Destiny 2 in a while? Here’s what returning players need to know before Beyond Light

What Call of Duty has planned with Warzone is the best solution for all CoD players

Sven Galitzki 6. November 2020 Reading time 6 minutes

Finally, we know what the future of Call of Duty: Warzone looks like. The battle royale combines three CoD titles: Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare. In the eyes of shooter expert Sven Galitzki from MeinMMO, Activision Blizzard has chosen a really strong solution that benefits every current CoD player.

What is the solution about? The popular and successful battle royale mode CoD Warzone is supposed to continue for years and serve as a link and constant to connect various “Call of Duty” releases – soon including Modern Warfare and the new Black Ops Cold War.

This has been known for some time, but how it will work concretely and in detail is something many players, including myself, have been wondering for a while. Both games rely on the same basic framework and many similar elements, but they also have some significant differences.

Now, Activision has finally let the cat out of the bag and disclosed its plans for Warzone and the integration of the latest CoD title.

These are the plans for Warzone

These titles will be interconnected: Specifically, these are

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare from 2019
as well as the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which will be released on November 13, 2020

Both titles will be linked to Warzone. Modern Warfare already is. Buyers received the battle royale as a free update, but Warzone is also available for free as a standalone version and is currently based on equipment, game world, and characters from CoD MW. The integration and focus shift to CoD Cold War will occur on December 10 – with the launch of Season 1 of Black Ops Cold War.

The most important changes for Warzone: In principle, almost all progress from the three games will be combined.

There will be shared progress between CoD Cold War, Modern Warfare, and Warzone. Starting with Season 1, the progress system will be synchronized across all three titles and will be universally valid: Players will be able to progress and level up across all three games.
With the launch of Season 1, all weapons available in Cold War and Modern Warfare will also be available in Warzone. These firearms can be used and leveled up across Warzone and in their respective game.
Previous weapons will not be removed from Warzone, and perks, equipment, field upgrades, and specific killstreaks from Modern Warfare will remain in Warzone.
Every operator unlocked in Modern Warfare or Cold War (i.e., purchased or earned) will be available and playable across Warzone and in their respective titles – including skins, finishing moves, and everything else that comes with them.
The battle pass system from Modern Warfare will continue with CoD Cold War. Season 1 will bring a new battle pass with fresh content for Warzone and the new Cold War. Progress for the battle pass can be achieved in all three games, while the content from the new battle pass only offers items for Cold War and Warzone. However, these can also be unlocked by playing Modern Warfare.

For more details, you can find them here: Finally, we know how CoD Warzone will continue with Cold War – This is the plan

This leak is also circulating: Recently, there was also a leak suggesting that the entire arsenal of CoD Cold War will receive a complete rebalancing specifically for Warzone to adapt to the current weapons in Warzone. These come from Modern Warfare and have a completely different time to kill.

It is also said that Warzone will offer over 100 different weapons in 2021 (after the integration of Cold War) – an impressive arsenal for a free-to-play shooter.

That’s why this is a really strong solution for CoD players

This is how I see it, Sven from MeinMMO: Players have speculated about various scenarios for how the integration could unfold – especially regarding progress, weapons, and the battle pass. In my opinion, Call of Duty couldn’t have handled this any better. For anyone who has been actively playing Call of Duty lately, is still doing so, or intends to do so with Black Ops Cold War, this is basically the best solution. But why?

Free choice through unified progress

With this orientation, you have the freedom to choose what you want to play. Whether it’s the new Black Ops Cold War or Warzone itself – I can earn progress for the latest content everywhere. Even in the “old” Modern Warfare, which remains relevant for fans and lovers like me even a year after release. If I own all three titles, I can freely choose what to play and achieve progress everywhere. This generous freedom did not exist before.

No pressure to buy the latest CoD

The best part is: You are not forced to buy the new CoD Cold War if you want to enjoy Warzone properly.

For example, I can continue to play my beloved Modern Warfare and still unlock the new content from the battle pass for Warzone – even if I do not own Cold War. However, I can still carry weapons from the new Call of Duty in Warzone. And should I feel like playing the new Black Ops – I have already achieved battle pass progress for that too.

This allows you to check out Modern Warfare and Cold War, even if you do not own both games. After all, the arsenal will soon be united in Warzone, and if the leak is to be believed, it will even offer more than 100 different weapons.

Experience will not change, but expand

I also find it cool that Warzone will not completely change its face, even if a new title will be increasingly in focus. Old weapons from the Modern Warfare setting will not disappear. Equipment, killstreaks, or perks from CoD MW will also remain and will be expanded by Black Ops, not replaced. This is exactly what I wanted. That Warzone grows and does not completely get thrown over and tries to reinvent the wheel.

My conclusion: There were several possibilities for how Warzone could have developed. For example, to completely leave Modern Warfare behind. Or to completely embrace the specific mechanics of Cold War. However, the battle royale maintains its character and mechanics while being consistently expanded.

In general, I have the feeling that the annual releases are no longer the focus of Call of Duty, but Warzone will become the heart, the focus. After all, CoD Cold War is now being integrated into Warzone, not vice versa. This emphasizes the importance that the battle royale now holds for the franchise. And I like this development.

In my opinion, Warzone fulfills its role as a link between the various CoD releases well, and if everything is implemented with the integration for future titles as well, then I believe this is the best solution for all currently active CoD players. Because it finally gives players the freedoms I have desired for a long time, but did not really consider realistic. I am very pleased about this.

What do you think of the future plans for Warzone? Cool ideas or do they leave you completely cold? By the way, it seems that CoD Cold War has just revealed the next Warzone map

I thought a new Switch game was ruining my evening – But I was wrong

Max Handwerk 6. November 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

With “What the Fork?!”, the Switch has a new couch co-op game that requires good teamwork. This reminded MeinMMO author Max Handwerk directly of the co-op hit “Overcooked” – and thus also to the one or other evening with 280 pulse.

This is What the Fork: What the Fork has been available on Steam since mid-October, and it landed on the Nintendo Switch on November 5, 2020 – and thus also in my living room. You can play the game alone, but it is clearly designed for couch co-op with up to 4 players. The Switch version does not offer an online component.

Often, the name “Overcooked” is mentioned in connection with the game, and that is no coincidence. What the Fork has basically the same principle as the couch co-op hit. In close quarters, you have to:

Transport items from A to B.
Pay close attention to what your teammates are doing.
And try to keep track of everything.

What the co-op party game for the Switch looks like is well shown in the trailer:

In “What the Fork”, however, you are not bustling through imaginatively designed kitchens with stressed restaurateurs, but racing back and forth with forklifts between warehouse and loading ramp. Instead of serving finely roasted fillets, you deliver loading crates here.

Otherwise, the similarities are significant – which is why I had a bit of anxiety about the gameplay.

This is the thing with Overcooked: Not once has Overcooked caused a few wild co-op evenings at my home. Because: When the processes work out, and you can cook everything well together, the game makes you incredibly happy. Then you work together, follow a plan, and congratulate each other at the end on a successful game.

But beware, if the nerves yield to the chaos in Overcooked. Then suddenly the burger burns on the grill, you send the game partner salad instead of tomatoes, and lastly, you keep falling into abysses. You get upset about yourself, about the teammates, about the devil who invented the frying pan, and above all about the damn game … and in the worst case, it becomes so heated that in the end even the controller gets cooked in your own hands.

Accordingly, I looked with a skeptical eye, shaped by personal experience, at the forklift task that lay ahead of me and my girlfriend. Would “What the Fork” summon the same demons?

Yes, What the Fork is forklift Overcooked – but more relaxed

This is how What the Fork plays: With Joy-Cons securely strapped to our wrists, we started the game. It begins in an office room with the chief forklift telling us the story that you must stack as well as you can to defeat flying delivery drones … fine.

Outside the office, you go up onto a map, and there from level to level. This is also known from Overcooked. By the way, there is no big tutorial, but there are helpful control overviews displayed during loading times:

However, it ultimately boils down to:

Driving
A small speed boost
Raising and lowering the forklift forks
Picking up and dropping off packages

This looks very clear and is quite easy to grasp. You only need a few buttons: The game runs wonderfully on the small Joy-Cons and is thus also suitable for inexperienced players or children who may not play often or are not used to controllers.

Only the raising and lowering of the forks – you have to get that right first. Because if you are not at the right height, you can’t pick up the package. This can lead to problems when you want to grab a package from the conveyor belt but it makes an honorary round until you position the fork correctly. At first, this looks like a small stress factor, but it relaxes with some practice.

Overall, the game is noticeably more relaxed than Overcooked. Because while you have to combine many different ingredients in the kitchen and must simultaneously ensure nothing burns, can’t get lost, must make the right order, and keep an eye on the conveyor belts … I’m getting invested again.

In short: Overcooked is sometimes very complex. In What the Fork, you generally only have to bring the right packages to the correct delivery vehicles while keeping in mind the specifics of the levels.

The levels are nicely designed and quite equipped with tricky elements. Here, too, there are conveyor belts, springs, or icy floors and pits. The tasks are partly demanding and require good coordination. But it doesn’t get too overwhelming like Overcooked.

Sometimes you load a package into a cannon and shoot it over to your teammate, or you throw the package off a roof. But at least during our evening with the game, we did not encounter situations where everything suddenly went haywire.

Here, by the way, you will find some free alternatives for the Switch.

What else does What the Fork offer? Overall, What the Fork is very colorful and nicely designed, even though the Switch version is not necessarily among the best graphics you’ve ever seen. However, this does not detract from the fun of the game. Occasionally, there are strange bugs where the forklift suddenly flies across the level – but those are also tolerable.

On the mini-map, the levels can be freely selected and repeated at any time if you want a better result. There is also the possibility to unlock many different forklifts.

If you know Overcooked, the principle becomes clear very quickly – but when it comes to complexity, the forklifts lag a bit behind the cooks. You can hold that against the game, as the comparison just arises.

Nevertheless, the forklift operation is a lot of fun and provides for really entertaining co-op evenings – and so far, at least, without melted controllers.

Are you still looking for more games to try out together at home? Then you can find some co-op tips for the couch!

Outriders gets endgame content from Diablo 3, but calls it differently

Benedict Grothaus 6. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The shooter Outriders has introduced new content for players who have completed the campaign: Expeditions. These sound very much like the “Greater Rifts,” a popular feature from the action RPG Diablo 3.

What is Outriders? The new RPG shooter from Square Enix and People Can Fly focuses on co-op PvE and mixes elements of classic role-playing games and loot shooters, similar to Remnant: From the Ashes. Roughly it is a mix of Diablo and Anthem.

Weapons and skills in combination take you through various levels of a story campaign and the new endgame content.

What are Expeditions? The new endgame feature consists of repeatable missions with adjustable difficulty levels. They are available once the approximately 40-hour long campaign is completed.

In the Expeditions themselves, you have to defeat enemies and complete tasks to reach the end within a given time. This is designed for experienced players and groups who can coordinate their playstyles.

You unlock up to 14 Expeditions by ranking up in the available tiers. Once you have mastered all 15 difficulties, you gain access to the final Expedition: the Eye of the Storm. We’ve included a video on the Expeditions for you:

Greater Rifts – Just in a Shooter

How exactly do Expeditions work? You start the Expeditions via a map in your camp. There you will find various important points through which you can start the new missions. Each Expedition is uniquely crafted and is not made up of reused content.

The Expeditions utilize 15 “Challenge Tiers,” which can make each mission harder or easier. The difficulty, along with your speed, determines how good your loot in the Expedition is.

The faster you are, the better the rewards. The loot is only available at the end. Therefore, you can focus on completing all assigned tasks as quickly as possible. By successfully completing them, you then gain access to higher tiers.

This feature is intended to further upgrade your character after reaching the max level of 30. Weapons and equipment you have collected can level up in the Expeditions up to level 50.

More on the topic

Outriders reveals secret 4th class in action – See the new co-op gameplay here

von Max Handwerk

What does this have to do with Diablo 3? The feature is structurally similar to the “Greater Rifts” in Diablo 3. They are also the ultimate endgame content in the action RPG for anyone looking to improve. Greater Rifts work as follows:

you start at a low level and work your way up
the faster you complete a Rift, the greater your reward and the higher you climb in the tier
you receive no loot until defeating the last boss
the Rift must be completed within a given time, otherwise it is considered failed

The Rifts are designed for you to adapt and optimize your character builds and abilities to ensure you come through the levels ideally. Each season, players come up with the best builds for their class and level up with them.

This works the same in Outriders: You should specialize and can freely and costlessly change your talents to adapt to your group.

Crafting and Mods Enhance the Expeditions

What else is there: Closely tied to the Expeditions is Outriders’ crafting feature. This allows you to manufacture or modify weapons. Weapons and armor have slots for mods, passive skills that change their properties or add effects.

You obtain mods by breaking down special items that they are found on. You can break down legendary items with unique abilities. This way you get this special mod that you can then insert into another item.

There are general mods for weapons and attributes as well as specific mods for classes that can only be applied to armor. Combining both, you can create your own builds and generate strong synergies.

When can I play Outriders? Outriders will be released on February 2, 2021 after a delay on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Epic and Steam). It will also launch on Google Stadia during the course of the coming year.

Minecraft: Fans have been working on this mega project of Lord of the Rings for 10 years

Cortyn 6. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

When Minecraft fans and “The Lord of the Rings” enthusiasts meet, great things happen. Like this recreated world of Middle-earth.

Surely every Minecraft player has at some point thought about wanting to recreate something truly grand in the game world. However, while many projects fizzle out and one gives up after the first week, there are also a few special projects that see it through and grow over months and years. One of them is the “Minecraft Middle-Earth” server, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary.

What kind of server is this? On the “Minecraft Middle-Earth” server, fans attempt to recreate the world of “The Lord of the Rings.” Here you find the vast mines of Moria, the River Anduin, Isengard, Minas Tirith, and the Shire with Hobbiton. A small tour through Middle-earth showcasing all these locations, which also illustrates the sheer scale of the project, is provided in this video:

How big is all of this? The server now covers an area of 30,000 x 29,000 blocks, which corresponds to an area of 870 km² – just slightly smaller than the size of Berlin. Anyone wanting to see everything from this realm should set aside many hours. For just traversing the game world from one location to another can take several hours.

What started as a small project with a few people has developed into a truly large community. Over 300 players are now working on casting more and more locations from Tolkien’s fantasy world into block form. Within the community, there are several ranks and a proper hierarchy. Anyone breaking a rule is an “Oathbreaker” and must walk to a specific location as punishment and wait there for up to a week.

Initial struggles and problems: Even though the current result is quite impressive, not everything on the server went as smoothly and planned as one might imagine now. When the project began in late 2009, many tools that large Minecraft projects rely on today did not exist yet. Rather than starting with a flat map, the LotR team took a normally generated world and then modified it. Mountains were removed block by block, valleys were dug out, and rivers were rerouted.

In normal Minecraft, caves soon become more interesting – you can already play the latest patch now.

What do you think of such a project? A cool achievement to recreate the fantasy world of “The Lord of the Rings” in this way? Or is it just crazy that one can spend so much time recreating something?
