Thanks to Halloween I am actively playing Pokémon GO again – It is so good

Noah Struthoff 1. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The Halloween event in Pokémon GO is in full swing and MeinMMO editor Noah Struthoff has fallen in love with the AR game again. After months of absence, he has now returned.

This is the Halloween event: It will be spooky in Pokémon GO until November 4th! Ghosts appear everywhere and candy bonuses complete the experience.

I’m not really a fan of horror, but Halloween has always been my favorite time in Pokémon GO. In recent years, there have always been strong events, and this year Niantic was able to convince me again.

While I had rather taken a break in recent months and only sporadically played Pokémon GO, I am now active again and diligently walk through the dark alleys of my city after work – if it’s horror, then let’s do it right.

Halloween impresses me in Pokémon GO – Why?

This is what makes the event so good: Halloween has always been special in Pokémon GO. Ghost Pokémon are generally rather rare in the game and mostly appear at night. However, during Halloween, they are always around, and I catch Pokémon that I usually see very rarely throughout the year.

Additionally, there is the candy bonus, which is really worth it for me. Since the GO Fest 2020, I have been rather sporadic about organizing my Pokémon box, and now I can send off some things where double candy is beneficial.

The spawns are also convincing in quality. I keep finding a Litwick, whose evolution is among the best attackers of type Ghost and Fire.

In conclusion, I find the legendary raid boss well done, even though he isn’t really new. With Darkrai, there’s the best attacker of type Dark and hopefully also in shiny form. I have invested some raid passes already.

This is what makes Halloween always special for me: Regardless of the numerous bonuses, it is also simply the nostalgia factor that makes the Halloween season particularly special for me.

In 2016, Halloween was the first event that ever took place in Pokémon GO. Those are for me, among other things, the most beautiful memories I have of Pokémon GO.

It was almost clear to me that I would return to Pokémon GO when Halloween started this year. Nevertheless, I am surprised that the desire hit me so much right away.

Why did I even take a break? It was mainly due to the decisions that Pokémon GO made. In my eyes, too much has simply been repeated in Pokémon GO over the past few months, especially things I didn’t find so great, such as the Community Day with Charmander.

When new features came, they were rather disappointing. The Mega Raids are, in my opinion, wasted money. I have to do raids and then temporarily get a good Pokémon – no thanks, it just doesn’t appeal to me. The 12 km eggs bring my favorite Pokémon, but they are extremely rare there. That has also ruined my mood.

What I miss this Halloween: At first glance, this year’s Halloween event is a copy of previous years. The bonuses are the same and the spawns haven’t changed much. Nonetheless, the event has always been very strong and felt new because you hardly see the ghosts otherwise. Therefore, the “copy” from last year is enough for me here.

Nevertheless, there are a few points that could have made this year’s Halloween event even better:

A completely new raid boss – there would have been several candidates for that
New Pokémon, like for example, the ghosts from Gen 6 – instead, there was only Galarian Yamask as the new Pokémon
A new shiny that can also be hunted in the wild – While there was a new shiny with Chandelure, it was only available through quests

What will happen next for me? The desire for Pokémon GO is definitely back with the Halloween event. Now, Pokémon GO has to show that they can also deliver strong events in the future that can convince me.

I will definitely remain active after Halloween as well and hope that no future events or features will dampen my mood.

Finally, Niantic announced a new event after Halloween:

Pokémon GO is soon starting Cartoon Week with Goh and Lugia

FIFA 21 Squad Battles: Rewards and Tips for More Points

Max Handwerk 1. November 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

When do the Squad Battles rewards come in FIFA 21? What do they offer, and how can you earn more points? You can find all the information here in the guide.

What are Squad Battles in FIFA 21? Squad Battles is a game mode within Ultimate Team. The special thing is: Instead of playing against real opponents, you play against AI-controlled teams. You can set the difficulty yourself. There are different types of teams that you can challenge.

Most teams are from players around the world.
There are special teams assembled by stars.
There are certain EA teams, you can also challenge the TOTW.

Squad Battles are traditionally a single-player mode where you can earn rewards. This year, however, you can also play it in Online Co-op in FUT.

[toc]

When do the Squad Battles rewards come in FIFA 21?

Date and time for the rewards: The competition in Squad Battles ends and starts on Sunday night to Monday at 01:00 AM (Winter time). Typically, the rewards are also available shortly after, so you can usually expect them around 01:05 AM.

How do I get Squad Battles rewards? The goal is to win as many Squad Battles as possible and thus rise in rank. The more matches you win, the more points you receive for the leaderboard. Your performance in the game is also assessed and can earn you extra points. For example, 5:0 victories bring more points than a close 2:1.

Important information about the Squad Battles leaderboard:

The higher you are on the list after a week, the better the rewards.
The rewards are distributed once a week. They provide a good opportunity for coins if you are not a fan of trading.
The leaderboard is reset every week and the competition starts anew.
Your rank is relative to the performance of other players. If you land on rank Gold 1 after one day, other players can overtake you during the week and you will drop down the list.

All “Squad Battles” rewards at a glance

These are the rewards available: What rewards you receive is determined by your rank. So collect as many “Squad Battles” points as possible to finish as high as you can.

There is no fixed number of wins you must achieve per rank, as the leaderboard is dynamic. You must always perform better relative to other players to climb the list. This can be particularly worthwhile for players looking to build their team but having issues in Division Rivals. In Squad Battles, there are some of the best packs to win.

Squad Battles Rewards – Bronze Rank

Bronze 3 (100%-91% of all players) – 1 Premium Loan Player Reward Pack
Bronze 2 (90%-81% of all players) – Gold Pack
Bronze 1 (80%-71% of all players) – 2 Gold Packs, 800 Coins

Squad Battles Rewards – Silver Rank

Silver 3 (70%-61% of all players) – 1 Gold Pack, 1 Premium Gold Pack, 1500 Coins
Silver 2 (60%-51% of all players) – 1 Gold Pack, 2 Premium Gold Packs, 4000 Coins
Silver 1 (50%-41% of all players) – 2 Jumbo Premium Gold Packs, 7000 Coins

Squad Battles Rewards – Gold Rank

Gold 3 (40%-31% of all players) – 1 Jumbo Premium Gold Pack, 1 Mixed Prime Player Pack, 10,000 Coins
Gold 2 (30%-21% of all players) – 1 Premium Gold Player Pack, 1 Mixed Prime Player Pack, 11,000 Coins
Gold 1 (20%-11% of all players) – 1 Premium Gold Player Pack, 1 Mixed Prime Player Pack, 1 Jumbo Premium Gold Pack, 11,000 Coins

Squad Battles Rewards – Elite Rank

Elite 3 (10%-7% of all players) – 1 Mega Pack, 2 Premium Gold Player Packs, 12,000 Coins
Elite 2 (6%-4% of all players) – 2 Mega Packs, 1 Premium Gold Player Pack and 15,000 Coins
Elite 1 (3% of all players up to Top 100) – 2 Rare Mega Packs and 30,000 Coins

Squad Battles Rewards – Top 200

Rank 200 – 101 – 2 Mega Packs, 1 Rare Player Pack, 65,000 Coins
Rank 100 – 41 – 1 Jumbo Rare Player Pack, 2 Mega Packs, 65,000 Coins
Rank 40 – 21 – 2 Rare Player Packs, 1 Jumbo Rare Player Pack, 75,000 Coins
Rank 20 – 2 – 1 Ultimate Pack, 2 Rare Player Packs, 87,500 Coins
Rank 1 – 2 Ultimate Packs, 2 Rare Mega Packs, 100,000 Coins

Tips and information for more “Squad Battles” points in FUT 21

The points from Squad Battles ultimately determine your rank. But how do you get the most out of the mode?

Under the “Special” tab, you can find the featured team and the Team of the Week. Both earn you more points than the opponent selection teams.
The higher the difficulty, the more points there are for a victory. But: If you lose, you only get a fraction of the points. So assess exactly which difficulty you can handle.
Teams with low ratings and weak chemistry are significantly easier to beat than good teams with strong chemistry. Therefore, you can choose a higher difficulty against the former than against the latter.
You can play a total of 40 matches per week that count towards the leaderboard. After that, you only receive coins, but no more Squad Battles points.
The victory is not everything; the type of victory is also important. In addition to the difficulty, the strength of the opponent’s team (i.e., rating & chemistry) and the skill bonus play a role.

What is the skill bonus? The skill bonus can increase your points per game. Extra points are awarded for:

Goals
Shots on target
Successful tackles
Corner kicks
Games without conceding
Pass accuracy
Ball possession
The Player of the Match

Points are deducted for:

Conceded goals
Fouls
Yellow and red cards
Offside

What makes Squad Battles different in FUT 21?

These innovations offer Squad Battles in FUT 21: Compared to FUT 20, some things have changed regarding the mode. What remained is that you have a competitive limit of 40 matches per week, but you can request new opponents as often as you like per day. New is:

The ability to play in Co-op Squad Battles. Both players earn week points and coins for their leaderboard.
You can also qualify for a Division in Division Rivals through Squad Battles in FIFA 21. This was not possible in FIFA 20, but it may not be worth it.
This year, there is a Top 200 instead of a Top 100 in the leaderboard, providing better rewards.
Anyone looking for a brutal challenge can also activate the competitor mode in the difficulties “Legend” and “Ultimate”. This simulates the play style of some of the best FIFA players in the world. This could be worthwhile if you want to train hard for the Weekend League – but it’s surely not the easiest way to victory.

Are you looking for tips for starting in FIFA 21? Then we have summarized the most important tips for the start of the season.

7 games that became really successful and big through Twitch

Benedict Grothaus 1. November 2020 Reading time 12 minutes

Twitch is now an important medium for marketing games. However, there are some games that have particularly benefited from the streaming platform – in some cases years after their release. MeinMMO presents seven such games.

What kind of games are these? Twitch can not only ensure that politicians get a lot of attention, but also games. This is what the platform was originally intended for. And here, Twitch even has a significant influence on development.

Our list is about games that experienced a boost due to Twitch, whether in pure attention or in actual player numbers. It’s not about a specific genre, but spans all kinds of games.

We particularly focus on games that have momentarily or even long-term reached the top rankings of the most-watched games due to certain circumstances and thus became better known.

For each game, we explain what it is, how it benefited from Twitch, and possibly its development through Twitch. The list is not complete and not sorted.

Among Us

Recommended editorial content

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

What is Among Us? The principle of Among Us is somewhat similar to the popular game “Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow,” where werewolves try to eliminate villagers disguised. That’s how Among Us works too.

In Among Us, a group of technicians must complete certain tasks to get a spaceship up and running. To create tension, there is one or more impostors who disguise themselves as crew members and want to kill the others.

The crew must identify who the impostors are and vote them off the ship into space or lava to protect themselves. The crew wins if all impostors are found and loses if too many members die.

How did it benefit from Twitch? Among Us is actually older and dates back to 2018, when it was released on Android, iOS, and PC. Thus, it is also an indie and mobile game that unexpectedly achieved success.

However, on Twitch, it suddenly became a huge hit in August 2020. An announcement for a second part likely led to a streamer showcasing it, triggering a chain reaction.

2 years after release, Among Us suddenly blossoms – What is behind the indie hit?

von Noah Struthoff

In the game, wild accusations and discussions arise via voice chat about who might have killed whom and how. For viewers, this is a tremendous pleasure. They can watch their favorite streamers completely freak out.

The hype on Twitch has resulted in a player record for Among Us on Steam. Due to the success, the developers even decided not to produce a second part, but instead to further develop Among Us.

ESO: 5 Things You Must Know Before Starting Markarth

Jürgen Horn 1. November 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online will soon receive the last DLC for the year 2020 and the finale of the story about the Black Heart of Skyrim and the Greymoor chapter. But what can you expect in Markarth? How do you get there, and what does it cost? Find out here on MeinMMO.

The new DLC Markarth along with the free Update 28 will be released on November 2, 2020, for PC and Stadia, and on November 10 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. With the last DLC of the year, the story about the current chapter Greymoor will also come to an end and pave the way for the yet unknown next chapter in 2021.

In the following paragraphs, you will learn what awaits you in and around the update to Markarth.

What to expect soon in Markarth.

What is Markarth?

Behind the name Markarth is a city that Skyrim fans surely know well. For in the far west of the country lies this curious city, where the so-called “Outcasts” resided in Skyrim.

In ESO, which takes place 800 years earlier, the realm of the later Outcasts is still intact. The so-called “Reiklanders” are a people of wild, nature-bound barbarians who have a penchant for bones and antlers, with which they adorn their armor.

The city of Markarth itself was built on the ruins of an ancient city of the Dwemer. This people of tinkers disappeared long ago, but their mechanical remnants are still active.

Thus, your journey will ultimately lead you into the depths of the old Dwemer city and the caverns of the Black Reach. By the way, this is connected to the Black Reach from the other Skyrim areas, and those who wish can traverse the entire distance underground.

MeinMMO author Larissa Then feels reminded of the Lord of the Rings by the setting.

More on the topic

ESO: I visited Markarth and immediately thought of Lord of the Rings

von Larissa Then

Who is the enemy?

The dark vampires from the Grey Host are also your main adversaries in Markarth. This time, it is against the vampire lord Lady Belain, a particularly insidious bloodsucker. Moreover, hidden in the Black Reach, in the ancient ruins of the Dwemer, lies an ancient library of this people, where something ominous is brewing.

To face these challenges, you will team up in a temporary alliance with the Reiklanders and their witch circle. Those who have already played the regular story of ESO may have already encountered these NPCs and will see them again now. Overall, Markarth promises a lot of additional lore about the Reiklanders and their wild but fascinating culture.

How do I get to Markarth?

This is how the prologue works: You can now start a free prologue quest. This ties into the finale of Greymoor and sends you in the direction of Markarth. In the prologue, you can already get a taste of the new region. You receive the prologue quest in the Crown Store as a free quest starter and can then get started right away. The end of the prologue quest directly transitions into the story of Markarth when it is released on November 2 for PC and Stadia, and on November 10 for PS4 and Xbox One.

This is how you get to Markarth: Once you have purchased the DLC, you can select a way shrine in Markarth. The region is located far to the west of western Skyrim from the Greymoor chapter. However, you do not need to have purchased Greymoor first to play Markarth. However, you can only experience the finale of the overall story about the Black Heart of Skyrim after you have completed the stories of Greymoor and Markarth.

What does Markarth cost? The DLC for Markarth is available in the ESO Crown Store at the usual price for story DLCs. That is 2,000 crowns, which is approximately 18 euros. Those who have an ESO Plus subscription can access Markarth and all other DLCs as well as all chapters except Greymoor for the price of 12.99 euros for 30 days.

What is there to find?

The big loot highlight in Markarth will be the new solo arena. Anyone who is familiar with the Maelstrom Arena from Orsinium knows what to expect. In Markarth, there is also an arena where the bravest and most grim of the Reiklanders can compete to gain fame and recognition or meet a cruel demise.

There are a total of 3 wings of the arena, and the challenges become tougher the longer you endure in the arena. Since you are on your own, you need to master your character well. However, you can also score quite a bit of loot.

In total, there will be 17 new sets of items in the arena as well as in the challenges in the rest of Markarth.

What’s included in Update 28?

In addition to the paid DLC for Markarth, there is, as always, also a general update that all ESO players will benefit from. This includes mandatory bug fixes and additional features. Frost staffs will be upgraded and are now also suitable for offense thanks to a new buff.

The most important new feature is the so-called “Sticker Book”. This is the nickname for a new feature in the game’s collection menu. With it, you can restore items from collections that you have already found, using transmutation crystals at any time.

You no longer need to clutter your inventory with items you no longer need because those items might become relevant again later. Instead, you can now safely get rid of them and restore them if needed. Like in a “sticker album,” you can now see immediately which items you already have and how to get the missing items.

Also convenient: You can now possess more transmutation crystals. Regular players have a limit of 500 stones, while Plus subscribers can hold a maximum of 1,000.

If you are bored until the start of Markarth in ESO, you can occupy yourself with various things. We present 5 activities here that you can wonderfully kill time in ESO. Have fun!

CoD Warzone: Survey shows your favorite weapons in Season 6

Maik Schneider 1. November 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

MeinMMO wanted to know from you in a survey which is the best weapon of Call of Duty: Warzone. You answered diligently and 5 guns are considered by you to be the top shooters of the Battle Royale. We show you the results and strong setups of the weapons.

Shortly after the repair of the two broken Season 6 weapons, we introduced you here on MeinMMO the weapon tier list for Season 6 of Call of Duty Warzone. Afterwards, we wanted to know from you which of these weapons you actually use and consider the best.

In our survey “Which weapon is the best for you in CoD Warzone?” we received more than 1,700 responses from you (as of October 31), showing a clear trend. Only 5 weapons could gather at least 100 votes and thus belong to your absolute top selection in the Battle Royale. One gun was even able to clearly distinguish itself and wins by a significant margin.

We present the results to you here and provide a strong Warzone setup for each. Spread over two pages, you will first learn about places 5 – 3 and on the second page the two winners, as well as the complete results. A total of 1,760 readers participated in the survey.

Place 5 – CR-56 AMAX with 112 votes

What kind of weapon is that? The assault rifle causes the highest damage of the top 5 and is the only one not on the list of the 10 most stable weapons of Warzone. The AMAX excels more in damage and then in stability.

As a heavy assault rifle, the Season 4 weapon comes with a strong character that you can feel when shooting. But it is just stable enough that it can also hit well in sustained fire as an allround weapon in Warzone, making it very attractive for experienced players.

For whom is this weapon suitable? If you are willing to tolerate a bit more rattling when firing but cause significantly more damage than the more stable competition, then grab the CR-56 AMAX. With a Ranger grip, long barrel, and VLK scope, it is quite manageable and takes down enemies noticeably faster than the Grau 5.56 or M13.

cod warzone waffen amax setup geheimnis nickmercs — Here you can find more info about this AMAX setup.

CR-56 AMAX Setup for Warzone

Muzzle: Silencer (Monolith)
Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440
Scope: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Ranger Grip
Ammunition: 45-Round Magazine

Place 4 – M13 with 173 votes

What kind of weapon is that? Compared to the common allround weapons of Warzone, one could say that the M13 is the exact opposite of the CR-56 AMAX. The assault rifle sacrifices damage and offers you an unexpected stability in sustained fire.

This is also the great strength of this weapon. The gun is very easy to control and nearly holds your aim on its own. With a few attachments for better aiming, you have a real laser here.

For whom is this weapon suitable? The M13 is a fantastic beginner weapon. You unlock it at rank 39, but you can use it almost immediately in Battle Royale. Even without attachments, it is pleasantly stable.

Even experienced players can go for the M13. The recoil is so predictable that you can easily land headshots to counteract the rather poor damage values.

cod warzone waffen m13 laser setup — Here you can find more info about this M13 setup.

M13 Setup for Warzone

Silencer: Silencer (Monolith)
Barrel: Tempus Marksman
Scope: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 50-Round Magazine

Place 3 – M4A1 with 269 votes

What kind of weapon is that? This assault rifle also belongs to the best weapons in the Multiplayer of Modern Warfare and is very popular in Warzone.

It offers a good balance of damage and stability. Although it is not as wobbly as the AMAX, you have to do more for your hits than, for example, with the M13.

For whom is this weapon suitable? If you want a bit more damage and still look for a controllable weapon, you are right here. The M4A1 could be classified as “medium weight” in Warzone. Due to its wide selection of attachments, it is also very versatile and a good choice in solo matches.

Destiny 2 now finally knows if you can destroy old armor in Beyond Light

Philipp Hansen 1. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Even when Bungie’s Community Director Dylan “dmg04” Gaffner shared the news on Twitter, Guardians showed their happiness about it.

Recommended editorial content

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

Some players announced that they will immediately declutter their vaults. Other Guardians, however, are disappointed that Transmog will not be available right away with Beyond Light.

What do you think, is it important to you how your Guardian looks? Is the current ornament system enough for you, or does Transmog simply belong to a proper MMO, and are you happy that Destiny 2 is finally getting it after all these years?

By the way, with the start of Beyond Light, your vaults will automatically become emptier, as many items will disappear once the DLC launches on November 10:

Destiny 2 advises: Spend your savings because items will disappear in Beyond Light

The Chef of Destiny 2: Beyond Light finally reveals the information about Transmog that Guardians have been waiting for. If you want to look good, you won’t need a full vault anymore soon.

This is what players have been waiting for: Destiny 2 is finally getting a real Transmog feature in Year 4. Fashion-conscious Guardians have been waiting for this since Destiny 1. We now have new information about how an important part of the system is supposed to work.

To use the look of your favorite armor for Transmog, you don’t need to stash it in the vault or your inventory
It’s enough to have registered the item once in your collection
Then you can pull the appearance from the collection at any time
Once the appearance is registered in the collection, you can safely delete the corresponding armor piece

Year 4 will kick off in less than 2 weeks with Destiny 2: Beyond Light. However, the Transmog system will not be available immediately with the parallel starting Season of the Hunt.

This is Transmog: Transmogrification (short Transmog) refers to a system where armor and clothing are visually altered. New equipment can take on the look of already earned, older items.
This is useful when the new armor is stronger or has a higher level but does not appeal to you visually. This way, players can run around looking the way they like without having to give up the power of new items.

That’s why this information is so important: This is great news because it means you can dismantle everything you’ve accumulated in your overstuffed vaults over the years without worry. Fear of needing the item later has led to irrelevant armors being kept for years.

Keep in mind that until recently, Destiny developer Bungie itself wasn’t sure if old armors can be dismantled. There was a possibility that the items and their looks could be permanently lost as a result. This makes the often neglected collection a lot more important.

Destiny 2: Director says what everyone has been waiting for: “Dismantle the junk!”

Where does the information about Transmog come from? The Game Director for Destiny 2, Luke Smith, personally announced the news. He did so during an interview on the Weekly Twitch Gaming Show (from 1:25 hour).

Twitch Chat Luke Smith Beyond Light — The chat on Twitch when the information about Transmog was revealed

When asked if Smith could reveal a secret about Beyond Light, he instead spoke about Transmog. Because players keep asking him: “What about Transmog?”.

This is how the community reacts: The community responded very positively to the information that players can dismantle their armors and access Transmog from their collection.

Genshin Impact: Location of the Geo Drakes – How to farm most effectively

Sascha Asendorf 1. November 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In the co-op RPG Genshin Impact, you need various materials for weapon and character upgrades. Among them are bone fragments from young geo drakes. We will tell you the locations of the geovishap hatchlings and the most effective farming method.

These are the GEO drakes: The young geo drakes, also known as geovishap hatchlings, are persistent enemies that appear in the GEO area of Liyue. They have tough armor and a dangerous rolling attack.

This is the location of the geo drakes

Scattered throughout the Liyue area, you can find the geo drakes all over the country. However, they are somewhat rare, so we have embedded a map with their locations for you:

This is how to find the geo drake most effectively: To avoid constantly opening an external map, the perfect solution is to check within the game to farm the drakes effectively.

Open your adventurer’s license in the game and click on the bounty hunt tab. Then switch the region from Mondstadt to Liyue and scroll down. There you will find the symbol of the young geo drake and can track its location.

These articles about Genshin Impact might also interest you:

This is how to fight the geo drakes

To effectively fight the geo drakes, it is advisable to lead a character into battle that deals higher damage to armored enemies. For example, Klee, who is currently more often obtained in the action banner or Noelle.

But all other characters can also defeat the drakes quickly if you use the right tactics, pay attention to their weaknesses, and do not get hit unnecessarily by their dangerous rolling attack.

This is its weak point: At the start of the fight, you can attack the drake normally until it burrows into the ground. Several geo crystals will appear at the spot, which you should collect to obtain a geo shield.

Shortly after, the geo drake reappears and begins its rolling attack. It rolls around erratically and is hard to hit. Try to let yourself be hit by the drake while the collected shield is active. This creates a backlash, and the monster falls on its back.

Now is the time to deal as much damage as possible. Use your special abilities if needed and repeat the process until the drake is finished.

These are your rewards: The drake can drop several items:

Mora
Fragile bone fragment
Stable bone fragment
Petrified bone fragment
Various artifacts of the “Flower of Life” type

With the rewards, you can level some of your favorite characters. At the top of our MeinMMO community favorites is Fischl, what are your favorite characters?

FIFA 21: With these 5 players you will rock the Silver Lounge

Max Handwerk 1. November 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In the Silver Lounge, you’ll encounter player cards that would never make an appearance in the Weekend League of FIFA 21. Which silver players are particularly strong?

What is the Silver Lounge? The Silver Lounge is a section of Live Friendly Matches that has one simple requirement: Only silver players are allowed in your team. This mode is currently very popular because it offers an interesting alternative to the usual modes, where you often face overpowered teams.

The Live Friendly Matches do not count towards the Rivals limit and do not consume contracts for your players, but they also do not provide direct rewards. However, there are currently special rewards every week from tasks that you can earn there – such as silver TOTW players. Currently, for example, an enhanced card of Moise Keane is available as a reward.

These reward players can be a significant improvement for Silver Lounge teams. But there are even more players who are well-suited for a powerful silver squad. MeinMMO has looked for some particularly strong silver players.

Ihlas Bebou from TSG Hoffenheim is a good tip if you are looking for a fast attacker for your silver team. He offers standout 92 pace and decent shooting and dribbling stats.

Additionally, he comes with 4-star skills. However, his popularity has made him somewhat difficult to obtain on the transfer market. Timing is essential to avoid paying too much.

Steven Zuber

The Frankfurt midfielder is currently one of the most popular silver players overall. No wonder: his overall ratings are all above 70. Zuber is a true all-round weapon in midfield and has a weak foot with 4 stars.

However, Zuber is not easy to obtain. He sells for a high price on the transfer market and is also generally rare to encounter. At the time of this article, only two Zuber cards were available on the market. Here’s also a tip: If you are not playing in the Silver Lounge and have only stored silver cards in your club, check if there might be hidden treasures like Zuber on the transfer market in your club.

If you are looking for more trading tips, here are some guides to the transfer market:

Che Adams

Che Adams also exploded on the transfer market when the Silver Lounge was introduced – and has remained very popular since then. He brings a good combination of pace, shooting, and dribbling, and he is also strong physically. He does have weaknesses in passing and particularly in defending. But his main objective is to score goals.

Check if you might have unconsciously stored him in your club – he can also sell for a lot of money. If you want to get him, keep an eye on the prices: the instant price is often very high, but he can usually be obtained much cheaper through bidding.

Badou Ndiaye

Ndiaye plays in the Turkish Süper Lig and is not easy to link in typical squads regarding chemistry. However, in the Silver Lounge, you often play with unusual cards – and Ndiaye is worth it as a strong defensive midfielder.

He brings consistently high stats for a silver card, except maybe for shooting.

Jeremiah St. Juste

The Mainz player is currently one of the most valuable silver players on the transfer market. In the Silver Lounge, St. Juste is extremely difficult to overcome. The center-back has high pace stats and good defensive stats. His physicality and dribbling are also impressive for a silver card.

Also with him, be careful about the price if you want to buy him – and at the same time see if you already have him, in case you are not playing in the Silver Lounge and want to earn coins.

A place for experiments: These 5 players are just a small selection of players that are worth it in the Silver Lounge. There are many silver players who operate at a good level – provided they are only playing against other silver players and not against Ronaldo, Mbappé & Co. In the lounge, one can also experiment with unusual players or simply field their favorite club if its players do not belong to the top FUT teams.

Do you also have tips on which players should be tried in the Silver Lounge? Let us know in the comments! And if you prefer to play competitively rather than in friendly matches, here are our tips for more wins in the Weekend League.

One of the best CS:GO players has been banned on Twitch for the 4th time – Why?

Noah Struthoff 1. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The legendary CS:GO pro Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev has been banned from Twitch again. This is the 4th ban in a short time. The pro is considered one of the best players in Counterstrike: Global Offensive and cannot quite understand the ban.

This is s1mple: The Ukrainian is 23 years old and has been among the best players in CS:GO for years. He has already won numerous tournaments and is competing with the French player Zyw0o for the title of the best CS:GO player.

In addition to the tournaments in CS:GO, the pro is also active as a streamer on Twitch. There, he primarily plays Counterstrike and often reaches over 20,000 simultaneous viewers.

However, his career on Twitch has not always gone smoothly in recent months. Numerous bans have shown the dark sides of s1mple.

Another ban – streamer doesn’t understand it

Here’s how s1mple is doing on Twitch: It is now the 4th ban for the streamer within 1 ½ years:

In August 2019, there was the ban because he allegedly made hateful comments. He stated that these were just jokes between him and a friend and should not be taken seriously.
In November 2019 there was then a ban because he used a Russian swear word – he himself felt the word was “normal” and does not understand the ban.
In July 2020, there was again a ban – there he is said not to know the reasons for the ban.

This is what happened now: s1mple has now spoken out again on Twitter and explained that he has been banned from Twitch again:

He explained the ban by stating that another person used the Russian word “Pidor”, which roughly means “faggot”. The other person allegedly tried to get him banned, according to the streamer’s statement.

s1mple himself said that he wanted to condemn the other person because he has a negative attitude towards that word. For this, he was then banned.

s1mple showed no insight with this ban and even says that he finds it funny to be banned for such things.

So, similar to the other bans, he questions the reasons and cannot understand why this ban occurred.

What is Twitch’s stance on such bans? Bans are always a sensitive topic on Twitch. Especially in the past, there have been numerous bans that streamers cannot really understand.

By now, Twitch is more transparent and has already explained in detail when one is banned for nudity on Twitch.

When it comes to insults, it’s often a matter of interpretation. Nevertheless, Twitch rarely shows leniency if a streamer becomes very abusive during streams. Therefore, the German streamer MontanaBlack has also been banned on Twitch.

Dead MMORPG regarded as Diablo shooter – Revived thanks to diligent fans

Sascha Asendorf 1. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Hellgate: London from 2007 was quickly discontinued due to technical flaws, leaving fans disappointed. To this day, it is considered a Diablo-like hack and slay shooter. Now fans are reviving the dead MMORPG as London 2038.

This is Hellgate: London: The MMORPG Hellgate: London was discontinued in 2009 and after several developer changes and unsuccessful revival attempts in recent years, the title eventually landed in 2018 as a single-player variant on Steam. Many fans wish for the multiplayer to return. Modders have taken on this request since the end of 2016 and are now launching their beta.

Basically, hack and slay mechanics should be combined with shooter gameplay in a world ravaged by demons.

Due to the dark aesthetics, the demons, and the hack and slay gameplay, fans quickly drew comparisons to Diablo, only as a shooter. And that’s no surprise, as the founders of Flagship Studios were former Blizzard employees who had worked on the ARPG.

The cinematic trailer left MMORPG and horror fans in 2007 with their jaws dropped, and even today the concept looks exciting.

DrDisrespect experiences an outburst in CoD Warzone – accidentally mutes himself

Noah Struthoff 1. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Afterward, he jokingly mentioned that next time he would be muted for 2 hours, as it apparently can earn him good money.

More info about CoD Warzone:

This is not the first outburst: DrDisrespect is known for blowing up in Call of Duty. Recently, he was angry about stream snipers who ruined a charity event around CoD Warzone.

The streamer is also generally known for his rude behavior. This has also earned him a lifetime Twitch ban, which is why DrDisrespect now streams on YouTube and has his outbursts in Call of Duty there.

The streamer DrDisrespect causes laughter among many viewers with a clip in Call of Duty: Warzone. He got so upset that he accidentally muted his microphone. He didn’t notice it for a whole 10 minutes.

This is what happened: DrDisrespect had just been taken out by an opponent in the Warzone and was not pleased about it. He blew up and yelled into his microphone. At the end, he even slammed his hand on the table.

The vibration from the slam was enough to mute his microphone. He did not notice and kept yelling angrily. However, viewers heard nothing of it and only saw DrDisrespect’s furious expression.

Over 10 minutes muted and 100 dollars richer

This is the clip: On Twitter, the streamer joked about the incident and shared the compilation of the 10 minutes of silence:

Pokémon GO: Twitch streamer experiences shiny chance of 1 in 17 million

Noah Struthoff 1. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A trainer has apparently pulled the holy grail among Shinys in Pokémon GO. With a probability of 1 in 17 million, he was unbelievably lucky.

This is what happened: The Twitch streamer AwesomeAdamTV showcased a few remote raids live on Twitch, while experiencing something that probably hasn’t happened to any of us in our Pokémon careers.

He caught 2 Shiny Darkrai in a row, both of which have 100 % IV. When you add it all up, you get a probability of 1 in 16,842,816.

Incredible luck in Pokémon GO – Trainer can’t believe it

This is the clip: The streamer posted the video of his luck on Twitter, where he received many congratulations:

Link to the Twitter content

Under the video, the Pokémon community’s celebrities gather to congratulate the trainer.

This includes the Belgian trainer Jeroen, who recently achieved a crazy goal with Pokémon from the 1st generation.

In addition, HelsinkiTrolli writes, “You have won the game.” He already has over a million catches and leads various leaderboards. He always shines again when it comes to the topic of Shinys.

More about the best players in Pokémon GO:

Brandon Tan has the most XP in the game and is currently in amazing form
An Australian player is particularly diligent with the trades
Jeroen already had a huge collection of a million candies a few months ago

How likely is this Shiny luck? Pokémon GO itself does not disclose Shiny rates. Diligent trainers have figured it out themselves.

A Shiny in the legendary raid has a probability of 1 in 19. The chance of a 100 is 1 in 216. When you add that up, you get a chance of 1 in 4104.

That already sounds like a lot, but now you have to consider that the trainer had this luck twice in a row. When combined, you get the incredible probability of 1 in 16,842,816.

How does the trainer react to it? He couldn’t believe it when he saw the first Shiny with 100 %. He even asked, “That’s not a hundred, right?”

With the second Shiny with 100 %, the shock was truly written all over his face. He then incredulously asked, “Another Shiny hundred?”

The trainer’s luck is definitely incredible. However, he still can’t win the lottery jackpot with that. The chance there is 1 in 140 million.

This Pokémon fan didn’t have as much luck:

Opening incredibly rare Pokémon cards for $375,000 ends in total disaster

Genshin Impact: Liben at the Port of Liyue – How to Get the Loot Chest

Cortyn 1. November 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

One last time you must visit the quirky trader Liben in Genshin Impact. We will tell you where to find the loot box today.

The last day of the “Wonderful Wonderware” event has arrived in Genshin Impact. To grab a loot box from trader Liben today, you first need to locate him and fulfill his requirements. We will reveal where to find him and what he wants from you one last time.

Where is the trader Liben located? Today’s tip reveals that Liben is at the harbor of Liyue. That’s where you can meet him. When you enter the city from the bridge in the north, he awaits on the right side by the large wall. He is hard to miss. If you need help, his position is marked on the map here.

Once you have spoken to Liben, his position will be marked on the minimap – you will easily find him a second time.

What does Liben want? Today, Liben wants 10x radish from you. They are usually collected quickly unless you already have enough in your inventory. You can sometimes find them in the wild, but often in supply crates and barrels from enemies.

Return to Liben with the radishes and give them to him. Then speak to him once more to receive your last loot box.

These articles about Genshin Impact might also interest you:

What can be in the boxes? The boxes can contain a lot of stuff. Generally, there are 30 Primogems (the premium currency of Genshin Impact) every day. Additionally, there are other possibilities like Mora, upgrade items, or experience points for your heroes. In any case, trading for the loot boxes is always a pretty good deal because the materials in the boxes are worth much more than what you trade in.

However, there seems to be no special reward for collecting the boxes across all 7 days.

Have you found Liben every day and collected all the loot boxes?

We conducted an interview with the developers of Genshin Impact – we came across some exciting insights:

The Top 10 Rarest Mounts in Final Fantasy XIV – Do you own one?

Irina Moritz 31. October 2020 Reading time 9 minutes

We present you the top 10 rarest mounts in Final Fantasy XIV. Spoiler: There are more than 10 mounts.

In Final Fantasy XIV, there are now over 100 different powerful mounts and vehicles with which you can travel the world. Some of them are extremely rare and are owned by only a handful of players. Does one of them belong to you?

How is rarity determined? The rarity of mounts is tracked by the site FFXIVcollect.com. It scans the official FFXIV site Lodestone and searches the profiles of players where all mounts owned by the character are listed.

Since mounts and companions cannot be hidden unlike achievements, the value of the site is reliable.

Rank 10 – Goobbue

1.9 % of all characters

What kind of mount is this? Goobbue was the second type of mount introduced in FFXIV after Chocobos. Originally, these massive beasts were considered untameable because they were simply too powerful. However, in a faraway land, humans managed to bring them under control for the first time, and this art spread to Eorzea.

During the last days of FFXIV 1.0, a wall of Goobbues protected the gates of the city-state Ul’dah from monsters. It is an event that made it into our top FFXIV trivia.

Why is it rare? The reason for the rarity of Goobbue is that it is no longer available. During the 1.0 version of Final Fantasy XIV, players who reached level 30 could pick it up from an NPC. This has not been possible since the release of A Realm Reborn in 2013.

While there is a mount that resembles Goobbue and can be obtained from the Wild Tribe of the Sylphs, it does look a bit different.

Rank 9 – Morbol

1.8 % of all characters

What kind of mount is this? Every player who has played a Final Fantasy will shudder at the name Morbol. These tentacled creatures have spread fear and terror since the beginning of the series with their bad breath.

Morbol inflicts characters with numerous negative status effects and leaves them to die in a miserable state. But in FFXIV, players can tame these corrosive monsters and use them as mounts.

Why is it so rare? Players who want the tentacled mount must complete a whole range of tasks and grinding. First and foremost, they need to level the special “solo” job Blue Mage to level 60 and learn all necessary spells from it. This is only possible by fighting the monsters that use these spells.

Once that is done, you also need 7 more Blue Mages to complete the final tier boss fights of the raids “The Binding Coil of Bahamut” and “Alexander” at levels 50 and 60 respectively.

Therefore, players must not only be well-versed in the Blue Mage job and handle its abilities, but also have the corresponding strategies for a total of 6 raid battles.

Rank 8 – Incitatus

1.4 % of all characters

What kind of mount is this? Compared to most other mounts on our list, Incitatus is a relatively new mount. It was introduced with patch 5.3 in August 2020. It was once pampered and spoiled by the clever merchant Rowena, who had a soft spot for the beautiful horse.

As an intelligent animal that understands human language, it often listened to Khloe Aliapoh recounting adventure stories to her friends. This inspired the horse to venture out into the world itself.

Why is it so rare? It can be exchanged for 600 Dream Sheets at the NPC Master Reineke, but to obtain those, players need to grind every week. First, players must succeed in the boss fight against the primal Shiva as a Dream Trial.

The fight itself can be quite tough when done with random players. Afterwards, they have a chance to play the lottery game “Dream Board,” where they can uncover up to 10 fields to collect points. It is random how many sheets a player receives per week, which means not everyone has been able to collect enough sheets for the mount.

Alternatively, you can obtain the horse from Khloe’s Gold Certificate or buy it at the market board, but it costs an arm and a leg there.

Rank 7 – Centurio Tiger

1 % of all characters

What kind of mount is this? The Centurio Clan attracts adventurers from Eorzea not only with its rewards but also with the challenge to go out into the world and hunt down a truly massive monster.

One such adventurer managed to hunt down a strong monster of rank S, but couldn’t bring himself to kill the cub of the beast. His clan membership was revoked, but none of the remaining hunters could bring themselves to kill the little one either.

Why is it so rare? The Centurio Tiger is one of the mounts tied to achievements. To own the kitty, players must slay a hefty 2,000 hunt monsters of rank A and S.

These monsters have their own respawn timers and sometimes also conditions that need to be met for them to appear. The higher-level ones in Shadowbringers areas definitely cannot be taken down alone. Accordingly, very few players have this mount.

More on the topic

Final Fantasy XIV: A boss monster ruined the business for dozens of bots

von Irina Moritz

Rank 6 – Astrope

0.9 % of all characters

What kind of mount is this? The first sighting of Astrope was extremely confusing for scholars, forcing them to rewrite their books on Pegasi. Until then, there was a belief that Pegasi could not have horns or grow that large.

Astrope, however, is a mature version of a normal Pegasus but is extremely shy. The winged colossus only appears rarely and allows only the friendliest adventurers to ride on its back. However, there is enough space on its massive back for two people.

Why is it so rare? Although Astrope has been in the game for 5 years, very few people have the mount. It is tied to the Mentor system. To help new players in FFXIV, experienced adventurers can take on the rank of Mentor and complete the daily random content: Mentor.

This random content includes almost all instanced content of FFXIV and allows mentors to participate in battles or dungeons where players are urgently needed. To obtain the mount, one must successfully complete 2,000 such contents.

However, since difficult content like extreme fights is also included in the list, one must often endure defeats.

On the next page, you will see the top 5 rarest mounts in Final Fantasy XIV.

Akali cosplayer on a unicycle delights the LoL community – This is how she came up with the idea

Irina Moritz 31. October 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In the subreddit of League of Legends, players are celebrating a cosplayer who plays the song Popstars by K/DA in Beat Saber while riding a unicycle. I chatted with her a bit and asked, “Why?”

The K-Pop band K/DA, consisting of LoL characters, was originally meant to just promote new skins. However, the first video with the song “Popstars” had such huge success, that Riot decided to release a whole album immediately.

Even though I have relatively few touchpoints with LoL, I have liked the songs of K/DA from the beginning and have been following the band closely since then.

When I checked the LoL subreddit a few days ago, a video with over 30,000 upvotes immediately caught my eye (currently 36,394 upvotes, as of 31.10.2020, 16:00). It had literally exploded.

This is the video: In the video, you see a montage of a cosplayer known as sigmagicpi on reddit playing the popular VR game Beat Saber, but not just casually.

She is playing it on Expert+ difficulty while wearing a K/DA-Akali cosplay and riding a unicycle. Because anything else would obviously be too boring.

My first thought was the same as the top comment in the massive reddit thread:

I read the title and just thought “…What?”
Then I watched the video and just thought “…What?”
reddit user RaisinMuffins

As someone who has fallen on their face a couple of times trying to ride a unicycle in the past, I was more than impressed. But see for yourself:

Link to the Reddit content

The cosplayer plays “Popstars” by K/DA, the first song that the K-Pop group released. I then messaged her on reddit and asked if she would tell me who she is and how the hell she came up with such a crazy idea.

Combination of 3 Favorite Hobbies

The idea to do the little stunt with the unicycle and Beat Saber had been in sigmagicpi’s mind for a while. She was later encouraged by some of her friends and acquaintances and subsequently posted it on reddit.

It’s a combination of 3 of her hobbies, which she told me about in our conversation.

Hobby Number 1: Unicycle

As can easily be seen, this is not her “first rodeo.” sigmagicpi told me that she started riding a unicycle in third grade:

My elementary school had a unicycle club that I joined in third grade. I became one of the best at my school, even though I started quite late compared to the others.
I just recently started doing it [riding the unicycle] again because it’s a fun hobby that can be practiced during COVID-19.

The unicycle part is definitely the hardest part of the whole trick in the video. sigmagicpi said that she can’t yet play the song in Beat Saber perfectly, mainly because it is very exhausting to ride at one point.

The limited space is also a problem, and she needed about 10 attempts to get the video to a point where she was satisfied.

I can’t stay on the unicycle for the entire duration of the song, but I can hold on for about a minute. […] It’s really difficult to stay in one place on a unicycle for a long time because my legs get tired after about 30 seconds. It’s basically a battle against exhaustion.

Hobby Number 2: Gaming

sigmagicpi has also been involved with LoL for a long time. This hobby is shared with her older brother, with whom she used to play games when he visited. He introduced her to most of the games she currently plays or has played in the past.

Even though she originally didn’t play much LoL, it changed significantly in high school:

[…] When I was in 11th grade, my mom wanted me to join a club. The only club that I initially felt I would fit into was the gaming club. It was probably the best experience I had in high school.
I started playing more LoL again so that I could be part of the League team. […] Since then, I’ve played a lot of League of Legends and also watch a lot of LoL esports.

She also got into Beat Saber through school. She volunteered for an event in the summer where she worked with other students at a VR station. There she also played Beat Saber for the first time and fell in love with the game.

She bought her own VR headset, the Oculus Quest, and completed all levels of the soundtrack and the DLCs on Expert+ (except Ghost, but she’s very close on that one).

Hobby Number 3: Cosplay

Cosplay is the third hobby that sigmagicpi employed in her video. Due to her fondness for League of Legends, she has cosplayed other LoL characters in the past, such as Miss Fortune or Spellthief Lux.

I actually wanted to go to ComicCon dressed as Freljord, but because of COVID-19 everything was canceled just a week before the convention was supposed to take place.

She wore the Akali cosplay in the video because it matched well with the K/DA song and because Halloween is coming soon.

I enjoyed talking to sigmagicpi, and I wish her success in mastering the last Beat Saber song on Expert+.

Another reddit user I spoke with has forged armor from For Honor that cost him 6,000 €.

FIFA 21: Funny football professional had no FUT card without a crazy grimace

Julian Schröder 31. October 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 21 Ultimate Team there are thousands of FUT cards featuring images of real football players. But one player just can’t stop making funny faces.

What is it about? Most football players probably want to look decent or at least neutral in their player photos. The majority of all FUT cards prove this. However, this is not true for all professional players.

In FIFA Ultimate Team, one player has repeatedly stood out in recent years for his funny faces on FUT cards: Christian Gauseth.

For several years, the Norwegian has been making grimaces in his official player photos. And since EA uses these player photos for Ultimate Team, they end up in the game as well.

Here is his latest FUT card in FIFA 21:

Who is Christian Gauseth? The likable player is a Norwegian football professional who has been playing for the current top division club Mjøndalen IF for seven years. He is 36 years old and plays in central defensive midfield.

Gauseth’s Grimaces

How many cards are there? Since his club, Mjøndalen IF, has not always played in the top Norwegian league in recent years, he has not been featured in all FIFA titles. Therefore, in total, there are 3 FUT cards of the Norwegian, where he shows his humor.

His card in FIFA 16:

His card in FIFA 20:

We are certainly very curious about what he comes up with for his next card in FIFA 22.

Do you know any other funny cards in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team and can you remember the incredible card of Luiz Gustavo in FIFA 19? Let us know in the comments.

New Viewer Record on Twitch: 325,000 watch Horror Camp with Knossi and Sido

Alexander Leitsch 31. October 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In summer, the fishing camp, an event with Jens “Knossi” Knossalla and the rapper Sido, took place. They managed to break the German viewer record on Twitch. In line with Halloween, the horror camp is currently happening. And once again, hundreds of thousands are tuning in.

What kind of event is this? After the huge success of the fishing camp, the second big event is currently running. From October 30 to November 1, the horror camp will be accompanied by a 40-hour livestream.

For this, Knossi, the rapper Sido, musician Manny Marc from the group “Die Atzen”, and YouTuber Sascha Hellinger from Unsympathisch TV traveled to a “haunted house”. There they spend Halloween and do all sorts of funny things.

In line with the event, a trailer has been released to get fans excited for HorrorCamp 2020:

How is the horror camp going so far? The livestream, which was even promoted as part of the TV show “Late Night Berlin”, is already a huge success:

The record stood at 181,600 for a long time. It was set by Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris in September 2019. At that time, there was a significant content drought in gaming and MontanaBlack became the second most successful streamer in the world.
Last year, the fishing camp broke this record significantly. 310,545 viewers watched the event.
But this year, the horror camp took it a step further. According to Sullygnome, 328,945 people simultaneously watched the stream on Friday night at 7:15 PM. This is a new record for German streams. It is quite possible that this will be broken further throughout today’s Saturday.

Such high numbers are usually only achieved by large events like the announcement of the PS5 or the LoL World Championship.

Germans love celebrities, trash, and reality TV

What fascinates the viewers so much? During the horror camp, everything revolves around the celebrities. They do funny things, “hunt ghosts”, reveal private secrets, or make live calls to their parents. This makes them relatable.

In Germany, reality formats like Big Brother or Jungle Camp do well. The horror camp hosted by Knossi and Sido follows a similar vein.

Notably, the high quality for Twitch standards stands out. Trailers, multiple camera operators, and a staged story – this deviates from the usual gaming content.

Another highlight around the horror camp is the song “Keine Angst”. It was recorded by the 4 participants and the accompanying video is supposed to be filmed live during the camp.

Viewers thus experience a live making-of of it.

Why is the event so successful? Many prominent personalities are involved, who bring many viewers along:

Knossi is currently the largest German streamer and was even the worldwide number 1 on Twitch in August.
Sido has a lot of reach on his social media accounts and attracts viewers mainly through his music.
Manny Marc also comes from the music business and has a large following.
Sascha Hellinger, on the other hand, has a large YouTube channel with UnsympathischTV with over 2.58 million followers.
In addition, guests such as Sturmwaffel (YouTube) or Pietro Lombardi (DSDS) are involved.

An advantage of this mix is that not all viewers are necessarily Twitch-savvy. By having guests known primarily from television or YouTube, new target groups are being reached. This led to the new record.

Knossi is under criticism – Due to gambling content

While the livestream is making huge waves and is able to engage many viewers over the entire duration of 40 hours, one of the participants is currently under criticism.

Knossi, on whose Twitch channel the event is taking place, mainly shows gambling content. But online gambling is problematic. The ZDF even showed a documentary about it and mentioned Knossi as a negative example.

Diablo 3: Season 22 finally has cool content again – Here’s why you should play it

Patrick Freese 31. October 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In Diablo 3 the start of Season 22 is approaching. MyMMO editor Patrick Freese is especially looking forward to this season. What makes the new season so good?

What’s happening in Diablo 3? In just a few days, the current Season 21 will end. I have played it for a few hours and already had to realize that this will not be one of my highlights.

The seasonal theme seemed cool at first glance, but quickly turned out to be an annoying addition. Because about every 90 seconds, a loud “tröööööt“ echoed through my speakers directly into my head. Luckily, I was not the only one who found this extremely annoying. Blizzard mostly fixed the problems with a hotfix. But that didn’t help me. Season 21 showed me why it is finally time for Diablo 4.

But with Season 22, I find motivation again to engage with the new season. The exciting seasonal theme, changes to Kanai’s Cube, and more are reasons for players who have been away for a long time to take a look again.

What makes the seasonal theme good?

I’m looking forward to: I have already briefly gotten to know the seasonal theme on the PTR server and was glad about it. Because unlike Season 21, the bonus doesn’t happen guaranteed every 90 seconds, but is luck-dependent. When you activate a pylon or shrine, a shadow clone of your class is created. You can see what that looks like here in this video by YouTuber wudijo:

This clone has one of three possible builds per class active. Witch Doctors can master the following:

A build with Zombie Attackers, Fire Bomb, and Grasp of the Dead
A build with Wall of Death, Hex, and Zombie Attackers
A build with Mass Confusion, Horrify, and Spirit Barrage

How the builds of the shadow clones in Season 22 look in detail, we will show you here.

More on Diablo:

The good thing about it is that the theme is so unpredictable. You never know how much luck you will have with the pylons or shrines and at what moment you will find one. Then it will also be exciting to see how strong the shadow clones ultimately become on the live servers.

Another argument that makes this bonus so cool is that each class has a somewhat different experience. This could create entirely new synergies, and the meta could be shaken up significantly.

I’m really excited to try it out.

What other bonuses are there?

Even if the shadow clones on the live servers are not as cool as I hope, there’s still the improved Kanai’s Cube. And this change should make everyone happy who loves to experiment with builds.

What changes with the cube: During other seasons and normal gameplay, you are limited to three cube slots in Kanai’s Cube in Diablo 3. However, this is going to change now.

In Season 22, Kanai’s Cube will have a fourth slot. And you can fill that with armor, jewelry, or a weapon as you like. It should be noted that you cannot activate the same item in the cube twice.

Why is this cool? With the fourth slot, you can make strong mainstream builds even stronger. This appeals to anyone who simply follows the tier list and plays the builds that are most successful in greater rifts.

But players who enjoy experimenting can now get even more creative and combine items in ways that were not possible before.

Many new sets

What has changed? This point is interesting for returners and active players. Over the last three seasons, the developers of Diablo 3 have provided each class with a new set.

Why is this cool? Returners now have a new set to try with every class in Season 22. Combined with the improvement of Kanai’s Cube, there are now even more options for how to play the new sets.

But this is also good for active players. If you have already liked some of the new sets, you can enhance them even more with the fourth cube slot. And additionally, see how well they harmonize with the shadow clones and whether you can push the best performances in the Greater Rift even further.

Conclusion

After the four-month drought that Season 21 was for me, there is finally something to discover again. I can’t wait to beat my way through Nephalem portals with the shadow clones and to squeeze the last bit of potential out of my builds with the fourth slot in Kanai’s Cube.

While this is still a long way from being a substitute for Diablo 4, it’s finally welcome new content for Diablo 3.

How do you like the changes of Season 22 on paper? Is this something that motivates you for the season as well, or would other changes need to come? And what would those be?

Season 21 will end in just a few days, but when does Season 22 start in Diablo 3?

A new zombie MMORPG will soon be released on Steam – What makes it interesting?

Alexander Leitsch 31. October 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

With Agony Online, a new MMORPG will be released on Steam in December. It focuses on a dark atmosphere and zombies. In addition to a classic MMORPG experience, it will also offer a Battle Royale for hundreds of players.

What kind of game is this? In Agony Online, you can experience either a horror MMORPG or jump into a Battle Royale. Both modes exist within the same game but are thematically separate:

The MMORPG primarily focuses on a dark story and PvP battles to control territories in the open world.
The Battle Royale, on the other hand, takes place on an apocalyptic island that offers 48 square kilometers of space.
It is currently unknown whether the same character can be used in both modes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jcJoEas8Dc

This is the trailer for Agony Online.

When will the game be released? Agony Online is set to release on Steam on December 18 and will be Free2Play. It is developed by GabHub, an indie studio that has yet to release a game on Steam.

The studio has also started a campaign on Kickstarter, where they aim to raise 3,000 euros. This campaign runs until December 1. However, it is uncertain whether this will be enough to prepare Agony Online for a Steam release.

Always keep in mind with Kickstarter projects that they can fail despite successful funding. Even games that have been in development for years can still be canceled. We presented such a case in our MeinMMO podcast on crowdfunding MMORPGs.

Developers promise a lot of PvP and humor

What defines the MMORPG? Agony Online is built around a dark story. Your family perished in a fire. Only you could be saved. Satan, the murderer, has cursed you with eternal life. Now you hunt him down for revenge or at least to be reunited with your family.

The game focuses on zombies, a rather rare setting in MMORPGs
The focus is on PvP. Guilds should be able to fight each other in the open world. Additionally, battles for zones in the game world are planned every weekend.
At launch, you will be able to level up to level 30. Later updates are planned to unlock additional levels.
You can control your character either with point-and-click or WASD.
There are dungeons and raids in the open world.
Mounts and pets are planned.
The game follows a linear story but also offers various side quests. According to its own statement, the game is not meant to be taken seriously and is full of memes and jokes.

What defines the Battle Royale? At the start of a round, you land somewhere on the island. This island becomes increasingly unstable and smaller due to explosions.

Your task is to gather weapons and armor by opening chests or defeating zombie NPCs. Of course, you can also loot other players.
There are said to be boss monsters in the game through which you can get high-end equipment.

In terms of gameplay, Agony Online’s Battle Royale is somewhat reminiscent of Shadow Arena, a BR spin-off of Black Desert that we tested for you at MeinMMO.

Other new MMORPGs:

Graphical issues and a lot of work for the developers

What stands out about the game? So far, Agony Online has 9 supporters on Kickstarter. Overall, the new MMORPG is rather unknown.

The trailer also reveals some weaknesses:

So far, the graphics are very simplistic
The animations seem very jerky
The world is still barren and monotonous
The texts sound as if a developer recorded them themselves

Although the developers have stated that they want to use the funds from Kickstarter to pay for an animator and 3D artists, even with a successful campaign, the implementations will not be visible until well after the Steam release.

The first version, which is set to be released on December 18, will likely be quite basic. Whether the plans can actually be implemented seems questionable given this budget.

In contrast, these 8 promising MMORPGs that are set to be released in the coming years all emphasize appearing in a good state.

The tank in ESO behaves like a real hero – even forgoes the reward

Jürgen Horn 31. October 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In The Elder Scrolls Online, there are often issues with fake tanks, toxic players, or people who simply aren’t very good, especially in random groups. However, a kind player impressed his group and the community with his selflessness.

What happened? The reddit user and ESO player gandalf69420 was playing with a random group in the Blackheart Haven dungeon. But it wasn’t going smoothly. One of the DPS dealt too little damage.

This was probably because he preferred to execute heavy attacks. They return energy in ESO but take longer to execute, negatively impacting damage output.

Therefore, he offered his help and gave the DPS some tips on attacking, showing him among other things how to execute a good rotation of light attacks. This way, the player would also perform well in later veteran dungeons and not fail.

More on the topic

ESO: All group content at a glance – Here is what you can do in a team

von Jürgen Horn

How it continued: The dungeon run was likely successful, and gandalf69420 was quite surprised when he suddenly received a message from the DPS in the group. It simply said, “Thank you for not being toxic.”

Accompanying were 50,000 silver coins, a rather generous sum of in-game currency.

Players celebrate helpful tank – “That’s why I love the ESO community”

The helpful tank saw his actions as normal and declared in a reddit post about the situation that he would return the money.

He doesn’t need it and never intended to profit. However, it concerns him that he should be rewarded for simply not being a toxic jerk.

More about ESO:

Community celebrates tank: The action by gandalf69420 was well received by users on reddit. One user immediately wrote, “Damn, that’s why I love this community!”

However, other users confirmed gandalf69420’s fears and provided examples of how they were kicked from groups for stating that they weren’t very familiar with the dungeon mechanics.

And then there are, of course, players who intentionally sign up for the wrong role in dungeons and respond curtly when pointed out. As such cases seem to occur frequently, the users in the mentioned example were particularly pleased and happy that things can sometimes go differently.

Especially fake tanks are particularly bad, as they are actually DPS players who sign up as tanks to quickly get into the dungeon. They hope that the dungeon run will somehow work out, and in the end, often the whole group fails and everyone is upset.

Our MeinMMO author Larissa Then has a special anger towards such fake tanks, as you can read here.
