FIFA 21 features strong Forsberg as SBC reward – But is he worth it?

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Emil Forsberg has received a new SBC in FIFA 21. He can serve as an asset for Bundesliga teams. But is the price worth it?

This is the card: Emil Forsberg from RB Leipzig has received a “Player Moments card” inspired by his double against Benfica in the Champions League season 19/20. This already serves as a preview for the RTTF event starting on Friday.

The special card represents a significant upgrade over Forsberg’s standard card. It increases by a total of 7 points in overall rating, due to substantial jumps in all areas.

Forsberg SBC
The Moments card is significantly stronger
  • 13 extra points were awarded for speed
  • 9 for dribbling
  • Shot increases by a full 14 points
  • Defense by 13
  • Passing values increase by 7 points
  • And there are 10 additional points for physicality

Overall, it is a significant improvement. But is it worth it to complete the SBC?

This is how expensive the Forsberg SBC is

This is required for the SBC: In the Squad Building Challenge, you need to submit two teams.

  • The first challenge requires an 84-rated team with 80 team chemistry and at least one Bundesliga player.
  • In the second challenge, you must exchange an 85-rated team with 65 team chemistry and one Team of the Week player.

If you were to buy all the players for the challenge, the first part would cost you about 30,000 coins, while the second could be around 70,000. Thus, the new Forsberg card costs about 100,000 coins. You really need a lot of successful trading.

Is it worth it? The Forsberg card is definitely to be considered strong. Especially in the Bundesliga, it fits in very well. With 4 stars on the weak foot and 4-star skills, Forsberg is versatile, and the stats are also strong.

However, the price of the SBC is set very high. 100,000 coins are not just earned, and there are some players in the Bundesliga who can take on similar roles. One alternative is the Story Sabitzer card, which can be obtained for free through season progression and completing objectives.

Another option for CAM is also the standard card of Marco Reus, who has an overall value of 85 and is slightly weaker than Forsberg but currently only costs about 24,000 coins.

The Forsberg card is only worth it if you really want the upgrade for that position or currently have a lot of coins to spare. It looks a bit different if you have unused or untradeable players in your club that fit for the SBCs and you only need to buy a fraction of the challenge anew. In that case, it might be worth it – although you will have to give up quite a bit of your SBC fodder.

The boss explains how Fallout 76 disappointed players and what the mistake was

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Fallout 76 launched with many issues and was not well received in many places. The Game Director and Executive Producer at Bethesda Games Studios, Todd Howard, discusses the background and future in an interview.

Who is speaking? Todd Howard is the Vice President of Bethesda Softworks and the lead developer at the studio known primarily for the development of the “The Elder Scrolls” and “Fallout” games.

In an interview with gamesindustry.biz, Howard talked about the company’s past, the rise with The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, and the development of the Fallout series.

A particular point is that Fallout 76 was received extremely critically at its launch. Howard also believes that things went wrong.

“We disappointed a lot of people”

What did Fallout get wrong? According to Todd Howard, Fallout 76 was supposed to be something different, something new. And it did become that, but apparently it was not well received:

Where the survival aspects worked for many people, we quickly realized that the game didn’t really give our audience what they wanted and they were really disappointed with what they got on Day 1. Without a doubt, we disappointed a lot of people.

We wanted to do something different, but people don’t always want something different. And that’s not their fault, it’s totally understandable. I think we didn’t do a good job explaining how different it would be.

Two of the biggest criticisms that have come up repeatedly since release were the lack of NPCs and the state of PvP in the game. Both were things that apparently did not sit well with players.

In particular, PvP was a recurring point of discussion. Fallout 76 had mechanics against griefers, but that did not prevent players from ruining the fun for others. The developers’ plan was apparently a conflict-laden world. But the players’ idea was entirely different, as Todd Howard also noted at E3 2019:

The absence of NPCs led to the new wasteland feeling lifeless in a bad way. It lacked the depth that is usually inherent in Fallout games, as there were no characters to fill the world with life and stories.

Why didn’t Fallout 76 die? Despite the criticism, according to Howard, some players simply didn’t want Fallout 76 to die:

Ultimately, and despite the issues and well-deserved criticism, many people played. Not to the extent of a regular Fallout, but millions played and told us that there was something there, so we kept at it.

Shortly after the release in November 2018, Howard himself said, that Fallout 76 was not good, but it would be. And that promise has been kept.

A better Fallout, a better future?

How it has improved: The issue with NPCs was already resolved in the huge Wastelanders update one year after release. The first human characters returned to Appalachia along with the players.

With Wastelanders also came the release of Fallout 76 on Steam, which received significantly better reviews than before on Metacritic. The update has apparently resolved many of the criticisms that were previously an issue.

Steam reviews show: Fallout 76 is just escaping the trap
von Schuhmann

Additionally, the PvP has been further toned down. Peaceful players have been better protected, it has become increasingly difficult to simply take down other players, and PvP now primarily exists only in specific PvP areas (at workshops) or in the Battle Royale Nuclear Winter.

Finally, the huge update One Wasteland has given the game another turn. This introduced dynamic levels, allowing enemies to adjust to the players’ level. This promotes group play and keeps content interesting for veterans.

Listen to the MeinMMO podcast about Fallout 76: Leya Jankowski from the MeinMMO editorial team, Michael Graf, Head of GameStar Plus, and Fallout expert Benedict Grothaus discuss in detail the rocky start of Fallout 76 and what has happened in the last two years.

Here’s the podcast: Can Fallout 76 still make a turnaround?

What’s next? Steel Dawn, the new winter update for Fallout 76, will be released in December. This will bring, among other things, the legendary Steel Brotherhood – which in my opinion is the best thing that can happen to the game.

In the interview, Project Lead Jeff Gardiner revealed to us that Fallout 76 is getting better and how that is supposed to work. The lessons learned from the past have apparently borne fruit.

Howard himself says about the future that the studio may work more frequently on multiplayer titles:

All in all, it has been a very positive experience for us. It has made us much better developers, much more connected with the community. So I can’t say this will remain a one-time thing.

Pokémon GO: You should take advantage of the last raid hour with Darkrai today

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the last raid hour with Darkrai takes place today, on November 4th. This is one of the best Pokémon in the game, and you should definitely take advantage of it.

What is a raid hour? This event takes place every Wednesday in Pokémon GO and increases the legendary raids in the game for one hour. Almost every gym will have a level 5 raid.

This week you can secure Darkrai for the last time. The mysterious Pokémon has returned as part of the Halloween event and will remain in raids until November 5th. Then it will be replaced by Lugia.

All info on the raid hour with Darkrai

When does the event start? It starts at 6:00 PM local time. A few minutes beforehand, the raid eggs will appear on the gyms, which will hatch precisely at 6:00 PM and remain active for one hour.

The best counters against Darkrai: The mysterious Pokémon is a Dark type. Fighting, Bug, and Fairy types are particularly effective against it. That makes these attackers particularly strong:

  • Meistagrif with Counter and Dynamic Punch
  • Lucario with Counter and Aura Sphere
  • Machomei with Counter and Dynamic Punch
  • Hariyama with Counter and Dynamic Punch
  • Kapilz with Counter and Dynamic Punch
  • Togekiss with Charm and Dazzling Gleam
  • Toxiquak with Counter and Dynamic Punch
  • Lohgock with Counter and Focus Blast
  • Guardevoir with Charm and Dazzling Gleam
  • Granbull with Charm and Play Rough
  • Pinsir with Bug Bite and X-Scissor
  • Ursaring with Counter and Play Rough
  • Scherox with Fury Cutter and X-Scissor

Generally, it is important that you pay attention to the right moves for your Pokémon. It doesn’t help to use one of these monsters if it knows completely different moves.

How many trainers do you need for Darkrai? To defeat the mysterious Pokémon, you need at least three people. It might work with two, but for that, it needs to be partly cloudy in the game so that you benefit from the corresponding bonus.

However, we at MeinMMO recommend a group size of at least 5 players. This way, you are faster and can complete more raids in a shorter time.

Is there Shiny Darkrai? Yes, you can encounter Darkrai as Shiny.

Shiny Darkrai
Darkrai in the normal version (left) and as Shiny (right).

Why should you definitely take advantage of the hour? Darkrai is by far the best Dark type attacker in Pokémon GO. It can also learn the Ghost Charged attack “Shadow Ball” and is strong as a Ghost attacker.

Dark type Pokémon can be effectively used against Psychic-type monsters, which are most commonly found in legendary raids. A good Darkrai is therefore a must for your team.

Since this is the last raid hour with it for the time being, you should definitely take advantage of it!

You can also only use the “old” coin system for a short time. This will change on November 6th.

New game looks like Genshin Impact – Just as a real MMORPG

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In China, the beta for the new MMORPG Tower of Fantasy has started. The game visually resembles Genshin Impact and focuses on an open game world and plenty of story. Like Genshin Impact, the game is set to be released for both mobile and PC. Currently, there is no mention of a console version.

What kind of game is this? Tower of Fantasy is an MMORPG developed in Unreal Engine 4. It features an anime style and focuses on a large, open world that you can explore with your character.

  • You can climb, swim, and destroy all sorts of objects by throwing them into the fire, for example
  • You can face greater challenges in dungeons
  • The game continually provides you with new quests
  • The NPCs are expected to have interesting personalities
  • You can expect typical MMORPG content like guilds, PvP, dungeons, and character creation

The MMORPG is currently in beta in China. There, the first players can already try Tower of Fantasy and even publish videos about it on YouTube.

The account “Gaming Mobile” directly compares the game to Genshin Impact, the currently successful RPG from China:

Similarities and Differences to Genshin Impact

What makes Tower of Fantasy so interesting? Like Genshin Impact, the new MMORPG from China embraces the anime style. However, the worlds differ somewhat, as Tower of Fantasy has a more futuristic setting than Genshin Impact, which has a more medieval flair.

The movement in the game world with climbing, swimming, and a stamina bar is quite similar. The basic structure of the open world, discovering treasures, and the focus on the story also connect the games, as well as the online requirement.

Other anime MMOs in development:

The biggest difference lies in multiplayer. While the coop in Genshin Impact is often criticized, Tower of Fantasy is a real MMORPG, complete with character creation.

There are also noticeable differences in combat. While Genshin Impact focuses on a few skills and combos between the elements, in Tower of Fantasy you have multiple skills and no switching between characters.

Tower of Fantasy character creation
This is what character creation in Tower of Fantasy looks like.

Is the MMORPG coming to us?

The release of Tower of Fantasy in China is planned for 2021. So far, there is no information on whether Tower of Fantasy will be released here in the West.

However, the game is being published by Perfect World, which is also responsible for the publishing of the MMORPG Neverwinter. The company has already released games in Europe and the USA.

Additionally, the success of Genshin Impact should further encourage the developers to bring their MMORPG to the West as well. A release here is therefore possible, although not immediately at the launch in China.

New LoL champ has the most dislikes of all time – Why do so many hate Seraphine?

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

The latest champion Seraphine has been under criticism since her release in League of Legends. Fans are upset about several aspects and express their frustration in the champion spotlight. The video on the LoL YouTube channel has almost 70,000 dislikes.

What kind of video is this? In the champion spotlight, new champions or their reworks are officially introduced by Riot Games. There, you can view all abilities and get a first impression.

The English video for Seraphine was released on October 29, but it did not go down well with fans:

  • Currently, it has 1.38 million views and gets 40,310 likes, but also 68,202 dislikes.
  • This makes it the spotlight with the most dislikes ever and at the same time the only one that received more thumbs down than thumbs up.
  • The Korean version of the spotlight is doing even worse. There, Seraphine only has 754 likes compared to 9,628 dislikes (via YouTube).

The previously least popular video was the champion spotlight of Yorrick from 2011. It has 13,140 likes and 10,486 dislikes – still, this remained slightly positive in comparison.

Why is there so much hate? There are several reasons for Seraphine’s unpopularity:

At the same time, however, Riot has strongly built this character through her own social media presence and made her more human. This has also led to criticism of her.

Riot Games has made Seraphine too strong and too human

How was the character introduced? Already in June 2020, there were first hints about the release of Seraphine. Riot Games created social media profiles and actively posted there.

But with this presence, they may have overdone it. Seraphine has a cat named Bao, applies face masks, and is a fan of the virtual band K/DA.

In some posts, she also shows herself vulnerable, talking about inner worries and fears. What is actually very human feels out of place in the harsh world of Runeterra, where former friends and brothers murder each other and battles are fought every day.

Criticism of the appearance: Similar to the criticism of the “human side” is the criticism of the appearance.

With her futuristic hoverboard and her “pop star airs”, she does not fit into the game world for many. Additionally, she does not visually resemble the region “Piltover”, from which she is supposed to come according to lore.

All about the upcoming Pre-Season 11 in LoL:

Gameplay she is just a rework

What is the gameplay criticism? Seraphine has the theme of music for her kit of abilities. She can shield and heal allies, cast spells on enemies, and slow them down. After every third ability cast, it will be cast again and receive an additional effect.

This makes her very reminiscent of Sona, who can also heal and shield. Additionally, she also has a passive ability that activates with every third ability.

Many fans therefore see her more as a “rework for Sona”. Riot Games itself defends her against this criticism.

LoL Sona Seraphine Title
Fans criticize that Seraphine resembles a Sona rework.

Is there hope for Seraphine? Developers from Riot Games have already promised adjustments to Seraphine’s lore. It is also possible that a rework for her abilities may come. Old champions are continuously getting reworks and adjustments.

However, it is rather unlikely that this will happen in the near future for Seraphine. Reworks usually require several months of lead time.

It is likely that the drama surrounding Seraphine will simply be forgotten with time and with the release of new champions in 2020 and 2021. However, her champion spotlight will remain the one with the most dislikes for the foreseeable future.

Xbox Series S: First reports on free storage – Here’s how much remains for games and apps

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

A player received their Xbox Series S a week before the official launch of the new Microsoft consoles and found that the free storage for games and apps is limited – especially with large games, the Series S quickly reaches its limit.

Where does the info come from? On November 10, 2020, the next-gen consoles Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will celebrate their release worldwide. Some media representatives and influencers have already received the new consoles from Microsoft in advance.

And on Reddit, a regular player has now spoken out, who apparently received their Xbox Series S a bit too early. He has now revealed some details about the console – including the free storage space. However, keep in mind that this information has not been officially confirmed by Microsoft.

By the way, MeinMMO editor Patrick Freese also received an Xbox Series X and S in advance: Xbox Series X Unboxing – We unpacked the next-gen for you

We will tell you for whom buying an Xbox Series S is worthwhile
von Benedikt Schlotmann

How much free storage does the Xbox Series S offer? The Xbox Series S comes with a 512GB SSD. According to the report on Reddit, the small next-gen console from Microsoft effectively provides 364GB of free storage for games and apps.

What does that mean concretely? Concretely, that means that the Series S should have space for about 3 large games and some smaller titles, when “large” is defined as 100 GB or more. Although games on the Series S are reportedly up to 30% smaller compared to the Series X, as it operates at a lower resolution and textures are correspondingly smaller. Yet some titles like RDR2 or Modern Warfare including Warzone are already over 100GB on last-gen (or still current-gen). Other last-gen games are also nearing this limit.

And the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is supposed to be 136 GB with everything included on the new next-gen consoles from Microsoft.

In short: there will essentially only be room for up to 3 larger games and some smaller titles – how many exactly depends on the size of the respective games.

The new Black Ops Cold War is likely to be over 100 GB. Many such huge titles will not fit on the Series S

von Benedikt Schlotmann

What do the players say about it? This information is currently being discussed in several large Reddit threads and there is considerable criticism.

Many find the free storage to be too limited, which is the general sentiment. Especially considering the fact that the Xbox Series S is a purely digital console without a disc drive. Therefore, an expansion of storage is almost mandatory.

Some also see the focus of the console already on the game streaming service Xbox Cloud Gaming, where no installation of games on the local hard drive is required.

How you can expand the storage: If the available free storage of the Series S is not sufficient for you, it can be expanded optionally – both with conventional hard drives (USB 3.1 is required) and with special memory cards designed for the new Xbox models.

Crazy jumping technique in CoD MW & Warzone helps you get across the map faster

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

A player demonstrated in a short clip an exciting way to move faster across the map or take cover in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone.

What is this technique? In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, there are actually only 3 advanced movement techniques:

  • Running/Tactical Sprint
  • Crouching/Sliding/Prone
  • Jumping

However, players mix the techniques together and achieve entirely new and crazy ways to move across the maps. This also applies to Warzone. Here, particularly the Slide-Cancel is significant, as it allows you to move faster and safer through Verdansk.

A player has now shown a technique that allows you to achieve a speed briefly that is significantly above the usual level. This way you can reach your target point faster, overcome areas that are being watched by opponents, or surprise your enemies.

Super-Bunny-Hop gives you a speed boost

What does this look like? On reddit, the player “deathdude01” posted a clip showing the small speed boost through some examples:

In this, he jumps from a high edge onto an angled surface and can use another jump to create a kind of bouncing effect to catapult himself a few meters further. The shooter in the sniper house on the map “Crash” has little chance of hitting the passing enemy. Instead, deathdude pulls out his AX-50 and takes out the shooter on the middle level.

Timing & Map Conditions are Key

How does this work? Basically, you need 2 conditions:

  • A higher level that doesn’t eliminate you when you jump off
  • An angled surface at the spot where you land

Jump off the higher level with the highest possible speed – it’s best to use the Tactical Sprint (press “Sprint” quickly twice). The moment you hit the angled ground, jump again to gain a few extra meters.

In addition to the two map conditions, you need the right settings, good map knowledge, and a bit of practice if you want to pull off the move perfectly. However, there are plenty of places where even the little trick can help you move faster across the map and take cover when you’re under pressure or know an opponent has already seen you.

cod warzone solo as a team tips title
The trick is also possible in Warzone if you want to get somewhere faster.

Does this work in Warzone as well? The reddit clip comes from multiplayer, but we also tried it out in Warzone right away. And indeed, this works here too. Timing is essential – as is often the case with movement techniques in Call of Duty.

If you jump from one of the bridges over the dried-up canal to the slope below and perform the move at the right moment, you benefit from a significant speed boost that “catapults” you directly into the canal bed. This can be particularly useful when you are moving over cliffs or hills while fleeing or chasing someone.

If the slope continues further, you can even jump more often and get further. However, the speed decreases slightly with each ground touch, and you should gain new momentum after 1 or 2 jumps with a Tactical Sprint.

Movement in CoD MW & Warzone gives you many options

What other movement techniques are there? The CoD YouTuber JGOD demonstrated several techniques in one of his videos that can help you move faster and more safely across the map or gain an advantage in 1vs1 situations:

  • Slide-Cancel (Crouch, Crouch, Tactical Sprint)
  • Bunny-Hop (Crouch, Aim, Jump)
  • Slide-Cancel into Bunny-Hop (Crouch, Crouch, Jump, Aim)
  • Pro Trick to skip climbing levels

He also shows which settings are important to be able to perform such moves. We have embedded his English video here for you:

These techniques work especially well on the controller. In 1vs1 situations, you can benefit significantly from Aim Assist and make it harder for your enemies to aim at you quickly. However, your settings also need to be right. Information about aim assist and which settings you should choose can be found here.

FIFA 21: Road to the Final starts on Friday – Brings exciting, new cards

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

This week, the “Road to the Final” event starts in FIFA 21. What can you expect on the “Road to the Final” in FUT?

When does the event start? The “Road to the Final” (RTTF) kicks off this coming Friday. The Champions League event starts in the evening at 7 PM and replaces the currently running Rulebreakers event.

What kind of event is this? The Road to the Final is a well-known event from past FIFA editions. It revolves around the Champions League: Some players participating in this competition receive special cards with enhanced stats.

The twist with these cards is that they get better the further the player’s team progresses in the Champions League. An example from last year: The RTTF card of Kingsley Coman ended up with a rating of 95 after Bayern Munich won the Champions League.

Coman Champions League
This is what Coman’s card looked like after the upgrades

The cards are especially popular among players because they have a connection to real football. Thus, one can cheer not only for the actual game but also because of the cards in the Champions League. After all, one can always hope for upgrades.

At the same time, they obviously carry the risk of becoming irrelevant very quickly – namely, if the player’s team gets eliminated. For example, one might buy an expensive Liverpool player hoping for many updates – and then the team suddenly gets knocked out. This happened last season when Liverpool had to bow out in the round of 16 against Atletico Madrid.

Which players are involved in the Road to the Final?

When is the team coming? The complete RTTF team will be announced this coming Friday at 7 PM, right on time for the event’s start. However, at least part of the event is already known.

Via Twitter, EA Sports announced that either Skriniar or Isco will receive an RTTF card in the form of a squad-building challenge reward. The decisive factor was the match between Real Madrid and Inter Milan on Tuesday evening – the winning team gets the card.

Since Real Madrid won 3:2 in the end, Isco is likely to be the SBC player on Friday.

Who else will be part of the team will show at the event’s start. Some Bundesliga cards could also be included, as several German teams are also in the competition. You can find the best Bundesliga teams for your FUT coins here.

Glitch in Destiny 2 shows new mechanics – Is it from Beyond Light already?

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 3 minutes

A player is experimenting in Destiny 2 in preparation for Beyond Light, discovering a new mechanic and a buff through a glitch. Some believe that a raid was spoiled here.

This was found: A player recently discovered an entirely new mechanic in Destiny 2. On Raidsecrets, Reddit user CommanderTriss shared how he stumbled upon something unusual during his experiments, which he suspects originates from the upcoming DLC Beyond Light :

  • A glowing ball follows him magnetically – he can navigate the so-called Warmind cell across the map, but he must not exceed a distance of 5 meters
  • Additionally, he discovered a new buff: “Relic incoming” (incoming relic)

It is likely a glitch, as all components have been in the game for a long time, but behave in a completely new manner. However, the new mechanic can be reproduced, and CommanderTriss has recorded the unusual behavior on video:

Link to the Imgur content

What was he experimenting with? The Warmind cells are actually a mechanic that has been in the game since Season 10, i.e., spring 2020. In this, the player summons the red spheres, which in the video follow the Guardian like a loyal puppy.

The cells usually remain on the ground and explode to deal damage to enemies. Alternatively, players can pick them up and use them as projectiles. That the cells follow a player and announce this behavior even with a buff is new. The discoverer also states that this did not occur in his similar tests during Season 10.

Is this a secret raid mechanic from Beyond Light?

This might be what it’s about: The name of the buff may provide a clue. Because relics are well-known among Destiny players. Players frequently encounter these relics in endgame content, such as raids or dungeons, but they are also appearing ever more frequently in seasonal activities.

Relics are the general term for portable objects that players can interact with and solve puzzles:

  • Such a relic can then be carried from A to B or serve as a key
  • Relics can shoot lasers, revealing boss weak points – as seen with Argos on the Leviathan
  • In the “Garden of Salvation” raid, players connect through relics and transfer energy
  • In raids, there is often a “relic bearer” during many phases – this is the Guardian who does not shoot but carries the important item for the mechanics
In the Garden of Salvation, players connect through a relic and transfer energy

More about the upcoming expansion Destiny 2: Beyond Light can be found here on MeinMMO:

This is what the community says about it: Guardians are pondering this on Reddit:

  • Did a glitch spoil a secret mechanic from the new raid of Beyond Light? It would be conceivable for such a ball to navigate through a labyrinth – just not a Warmind cell like in the glitch, but a relic.
  • Some believe that such a mechanic could not only be used in the new raid but generally on Europa.
  • Others argue that it is probably just an unusual glitch that has nothing to do with Beyond Light. After all, why would files from the DLC be in the game before November 10?
  • Although here, some users say it is normal for lines of code to “slip through” and also point out that this mechanic was not in the game before.

What do you think of this find – raid spoiler or strange coincidence that means nothing? We will only find out what is really going on when Beyond Light launches and we can set foot on Europa.

That the community has analyzed every little detail in recent days before the DLC was also recently illustrated by a small tweet. It was searched for possible secrets so thoroughly that Bungie had to pull the emergency brake.

However, if you only hit briefly, you are overall a bit faster than with comparable tools. This would give a slight advantage. However, SypherPK also said that there have certainly been much worse pay2win items.

This is not even the most overpowered pickaxe item that is pay-to-win. We have seen more OP things in the past.

With this, SypherPK refers to the “Star Wand”, a pickaxe that made you faster and dealt more damage than a regular pickaxe. That thing was removed quickly. Sypher also thinks that Epic will nerf the Bash Burner soon, so you shouldn’t buy it if you are only after the speed bonus.

Do you want more pickaxes? Here you can currently get the very first pickaxe from the game for free. How this works, you can find out here in our article on MeinMMO.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there is a new harvesting tool since the end of October. At first glance, it doesn’t look particularly spectacular. However, the streamer SypherPK analyzed the new pickaxe and found that it offers small advantages when harvesting.

Which pickaxe is it about? The pickaxe in question is actually a baseball bat. It is called Bash Burner and belongs to a Halloween-punk set. The bat is a charred baseball bat with a smoldering branch still hanging from it. You can even extinguish it by repeatedly striking with it.

But that’s not the major “feature” of the Bash Burner. Rather, the popular streamer SypherPK claims that the pickaxe breaks materials faster than regular harvesting tools.

Bash Burner hits faster at times – it’s a bit pay2win

What is the problem with the Bash Burner? In a video, which we have embedded for you below, SypherPK shows and explains how the Bash Burner works. The bat has different animations.

The first hits are faster than usual, but with repeated strikes, the movement becomes slower again. So, the speed balances out over longer use.

Here SypherPK explains everything about the Bash Burner.

However, if you only hit briefly, you are overall a bit faster than with comparable tools. This would give a slight advantage. However, SypherPK also said that there have certainly been much worse pay2win items.

This is not even the most overpowered pickaxe item that is pay-to-win. We have seen more OP things in the past.

With this, SypherPK refers to the “Star Wand”, a pickaxe that made you faster and dealt more damage than a regular pickaxe. That thing was removed quickly. Sypher also thinks that Epic will nerf the Bash Burner soon, so you shouldn’t buy it if you are only after the speed bonus.

According to early reports, the item has already caught the attention of the developers. It is said that the Bash Burner is already banned in competitive modes.

Pokémon GO: The last hours of the new coin system are running out

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Your time with the new coin system in Pokémon GO ends in a few hours. We recommend that you take advantage of the system quickly, especially in rural areas.

What happens to the coin system? Niantic tested new methods for earning coins in Pokémon GO over the past months. The test started on August 5, 2020.

Instead of simply earning the currency by defending gyms as usual, trainers can now complete smaller, daily tasks. This is a good solution for trainers in rural areas who do not have a gym nearby to earn coins.

Earn coins in Pokémon GO 20

The daily tasks consist of hitting great or fantastic throws, catching Pokémon with berries, or defeating Team Rocket grunts. Tasks that anyone can accomplish with a little practice. The controversial Raid Quest was removed by Niantic after strong criticism from trainers.

But now it’s over with the new system. You can use it for the last time on November 5.

What happens to the coin system in Pokémon GO?

How long will the new system last? You can use the new system until November 5 at 23:59. Starting Friday, November 6, the “old” system should be active again.

What changes specifically? With the “old” system, you can no longer earn 20 coins through daily tasks, as is currently the case in Pokémon GO.

You will return to the old system, where players earn coins by defending gyms. For defending for about 8 hours, you will receive 50 coins. The daily limit of 50 coins remains in place.

Why is this happening? Niantic states that they are ending the tests related to the new system based on trainer feedback. They thank you for participating and are looking for ways to improve earning PokéCoins. (via pokemongolive.com)

What do you prefer? We have launched a small survey for you to vote on which method of earning coins you prefer in Pokémon GO:

  • The “new” system, which gave you 20 coins through daily tasks and 30 coins through defending
  • or the “old” system, where you could only earn coins by defending gyms?

Each of you has one vote and can cast it in the survey.

Now is a great time for you to participate in the PvP League if you’re looking for strong Pokémon.

Because Season 5 is running in the game with a cool change. In PvP in Pokémon GO, there are now legendary Pokémon as rewards. So if you want to strengthen your collection or need to complete entries in your Pokédex, you should prove your skills now in trainer battles.

Genshin Impact: With this nasty trick, trash mobs become unbeatable

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

No one likes the traveler in Genshin Impact. Even the NPCs don’t have the patience to wait for cutscenes. This results in funny moments.

In the RPG Genshin Impact, there is a plethora of enemies. Most of them are not a big threat and are just trash mobs that you can easily deal with “in passing”. This must be quite frustrating for the corresponding enemies, which is why they have come up with a new trick. They simply beat up players while they are trapped in a cutscene.

What happened? The Reddit user mastocklkaksi experienced a rather peculiar situation in Genshin Impact. During the penultimate step of the questline surrounding Xingqiu, there is a somewhat lengthy dialogue in the wilderness. Some enemies appear that need to be beaten up. However, the cutscene begins with the dialogue as soon as you approach the location.

Usually, enemies are passive and wait patiently while the dialogue takes place – not in this case. While Paimon and Xingqiu are talking, the main character suddenly gets punched in the face by some looters. Shortly thereafter, the traveler is beaten out of the picture while the conversation continues peacefully.

So I get that the traveler isn’t generally relevant to cutscenes or the plot, but this just adds insult to injury from r/Genshin_Impact

Slapstick comedy at its finest: As if the situation wasn’t silly enough, the camera work plays a perfect role too. Now and then, the traveler gets shoved back and forth. In the last dialogue (second 43-47), you can even see her perfectly flying through the background – Hollywood couldn’t have done it better.

At the end, you can also see how mastocklkaksi is just quickly clicking through the dialogue to finish the sequence as soon as possible.

Genshin Impact has some problems – not all of them are bugs:

At least: Ultimately, the enemies were victorious and managed to beat the female traveler to the ground. The game resumes after the traveler is defeated and Amber is up next. A rare moment of success for the enemies.

Have you also experienced such a bug in Genshin Impact?

By the way, Genshin Impact is also among our 8 best MMOs and online games that you can play in November.

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

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

The DualSense controller of the PlayStation 5 is already receiving a lot of praise from the first testers – especially for its features. However, the design is also impressive, even under the microscope. Upon closer inspection, a cool detail can be seen, which is supposed to provide better grip.

What is the DualSense all about? In short, Sony’s new next-gen console PlayStation 5 is launching soon. It comes with a new input device, the DualSense controller.

Since Sony has already provided some media representatives and influencers with the PS5 in advance and the accessories are already available in the USA, some have already been able to try out the new controller – and the first testers are excited about the technology of the PS5 controller.

However, the design and attention to detail are also praised for the DualSense. Why, as shown by Reddit user Thenadamgoes, who simply grabbed a microscope attachment and took a closer look at the surface of the PS5 controller.

Cover image PS5 Dualsense controller
The DualSense controller

Grip surface made of small PlayStation symbols

This is what the detail is about: A cool design detail comes to light. Although it doesn’t necessarily require a microscope to see it, it only becomes apparent upon closer inspection. Therefore, many may have completely overlooked it until now.

The surface of the DualSense is textured – but not just with a random grain or pattern, but with the traditional PlayStation symbols triangle, cross, circle and square, which you can also find on the buttons.

Here you can see the symbols: Under the microscope, it looks spectacular:

Link to the Reddit content

There are two layers of symbols. The two layers are highlighted differently.

What is the point? On the one hand, the textured surface is supposed to provide more grip, meaning more hold in the players’ hands. On the other hand, some suspect that Sony wants to make it harder for counterfeits and cheap copies. Because such a texture would not really be easy to replicate.

By the way, according to some comments in the corresponding threads, the faceplates, meaning the removable side covers of the PS5, are said to display this pattern – in the opinion of some users for the same reason.

This is now different from the first images: That the new controller has a textured surface is not really new. This was already visible in some high-resolution images in mid-June. However, back then, some thought it might possibly be a showcase device, and that the final product might look different.

While the texture apparently remains, it still differs between the first images and the current DualSense. The old pictures show that the texture was engraved, meaning it went inward, and had only one layer. The current images show that the texture of the release version now has multiple layers and extends outward from the surface.

What do you think of this detail? Cool idea or unnecessary gimmick? What wishes and hopes do you have for the new controller? Shooter expert Sven Galitzki from MeinMMO hopes, that it won’t be as harsh on the new PS5 controller as it was for the PS4.

Finally, classic multiboxing in World of Warcraft is banned

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Multiboxing in World of Warcraft is history. New rules make it almost impossible to play multiple accounts simultaneously now.

There are only a few topics in World of Warcraft that have been discussed so passionately for years, like multiboxing. The “problem” is as old as the game itself, and over the years the conflicts have grown bigger. Now Blizzard is changing its rules and putting a stop to multiboxing. Soon it will be banned in WoW and can lead to bans.

What is multiboxing? Multiboxing generally refers to playing multiple accounts at the same time. It’s not just about owning multiple accounts, but also playing them simultaneously. A player can, for example, run through the game world with three, four, five, or even more characters at once and complete tasks that would normally require a whole group of players.

Through software, it was possible to transmit keystrokes from one WoW client to multiple clients. If one of the characters wanted to pick herbs, all characters of the multiboxer would do so.

WoW Multiboxer herb druids night elf ask title 1140x445
Multiboxing when farming herbs – individual players dominate the entire market for herbs.

What is changing now? In the future, the use of software that transmits input commands to multiple clients simultaneously will no longer be allowed. Anyone using such software must expect sanctions against their WoW account. Penalties range from temporary suspensions to permanent closures.

Traditional multiboxing is no longer permitted or possible. In the new expansion Shadowlands, you probably won’t encounter these multiboxers anymore.

More on the topic
The 5 craziest achievements in World of Warcraft
von Cortyn

Why is Blizzard doing this? The reasons are stated by Blizzard in an official post. It says:

Over time, World of Warcraft has undergone a significant evolution. Likewise, our policies have evolved to ensure a positive environment in the game and address the needs of the players. We have taken a closer look at the use of third-party software for transmitting input commands, through which a single keystroke or action can be automatically transmitted to multiple game clients.

We have found that this increasingly negatively affects the game, as this type of software is primarily used for bots and automated gameplay. The use of software to transmit input commands that transfers commands simultaneously to multiple WoW game clients will henceforth be considered a violation of our policies. We believe that this policy is in the best interest of the game and our community.

Official post from Blizzard

Players who are proven to use such software will receive a warning in the coming days that the rules regarding this matter have changed.

WoW Multibox Name Steal Human nightelf
There were multiboxers in PvP as well – it was never fair.

What is still allowed? It is still permitted to own multiple WoW accounts simultaneously and to play them in parallel. However, all keyboard inputs must be done manually. This would mean that the player has to tab out of one WoW client and open the second to control the character directly. This can still be useful for pulling your own alt characters through dungeons or farming specific rare mobs.

However, the effectiveness of farm multiboxers is likely to be massively restricted by this new regulation.

Even Cortyn from MeinMMO recently got very upset about multiboxers.

Get the very first pickaxe from Fortnite for free

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, the jump to the next generation is coming soon. But before heading towards PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, you can secure a piece of Fortnite history.

This is what’s happening in Fortnite: The release of the new consoles is rapidly approaching, and Fortnite is expected to be playable from day one. The Xbox Series X is launching on November 10, while the PS5 will be available in Germany on November 19.

But before we look to the future, Fortnite wants to take a look back – in the form of a gift. Therefore, starting November 4, the “Nostalgia Pickaxe” will be available for all Fortnite players – completely free of charge.

The Nostalgia Pickaxe is the standard pickaxe that was available at the very beginning in Chapter 1 of Fortnite.

Nostalgia pickaxe Fortnite
The Nostalgia Pickaxe represents the classic harvesting tool.

Some might still remember: Back then, you didn’t land at Stark Industries, but in the little house in the middle of Loot Lake, for example. Vehicles like jetpacks, boats, or cars were still a thing of the future. And instead of crazy axe variants like the “Groot Harvesting Tool” from the current Battle Pass, you just had the classic pickaxe in hand.

The Nostalgia Pickaxe represents the classic, unchanged pickaxe from the old days.

How do I get the pickaxe? To get the pickaxe, you don’t have to do much. The Nostalgia Pickaxe will simply be available to every player in the game when they log in between November 4 and January 15, 2021. You will likely retrieve it from the in-game store.

The pickaxe is completely free for all platforms. On PlayStation, you can alternatively use the PlayStation Store to unlock the classic pickaxe.

Fortnite on PS5 and Xbox Series X

This is what’s ahead for NextGen: If you prefer to look ahead, you can look forward to some new features in Fortnite when it comes to the new consoles. Among other things, the game will feature improved graphics and is expected to support 4K resolution at 60 FPS on Series X and PS5. A first glimpse of the new version was already showcased a few weeks ago:

Additionally, features such as shorter loading times, improved split-screen (at 60 frames per second), and enhanced in-game physics will be introduced.

On PS5, the haptic feedback of the DualSense controller will also be supported, and your favorite modes should be accessible directly from the PS5 home screen.

Apart from the NextGen launch, Fortnite is also soon approaching the end of Season 4 and the start of Season 5. What could we expect as a season finale?

Defalt Mask – How to get the mask from Watch Dogs 2

What kind of mask is this? The Defalt Mask belonged to the DJ and hacker named Defalt from Watch Dogs 2. It has a corresponding background and is therefore very popular and sought after.

However, the mask is also relatively difficult to obtain. The right time plays an important role here.

Watch Dogs Legion Defalt Mask

Where can you find it? This mask is relatively hard to get. You must go to Cannon Street Station in London at 2:00 AM. It is located north of the Thames. Leave the station, turn right and head south until you reach the river.

There you will see a café, and to the right of that, there is a pedestrian passage. Halfway through this passage, you’ll find a ladder on the right, where you can jump into a water basin.

Again, to the right of the ladder is a hidden door. You can only open it when it is around 2:00 AM. Behind the door, there is a room, and the mask will be under the table.

Watch Dogs Legion Defalt Mask
Here you can find the Defalt Mask.

Skull with Candles Mask

What kind of mask is this? In Watch Dogs Legion, there are several skeleton masks, but this one is special. It has holographic candles that make the appearance even more interesting.

Watch Dogs Legion Skull with Candle Mask
The “Halloween” mask (Image source: YouTube).

Where can you find it? This mask is the first one from the video linked above.

You need to go to Westminster and look for the construction site Perry Harris. There, keep an eye out for a drone calling station. Here, a construction worker or a member of the Kelley gang can help.

Use the drone and fly it to a ledge at the edge of the site. There, you can collect the mask.

Watch Dogs Legion Ort Maske 1
Here you can find the “Skull with Candl” mask.

Box Mask

What kind of mask is this? In Watch Dogs Legion, there is a mask where you put a box on your head. You definitely need to get this!

Watch Dogs Legion Box Maske

Where can you find it? For this mask, you need to go to Lambeth and again require a drone. You will find the mask at the top of the building’s roof.

Watch Dogs Legion Box Maske Karte
Here you can find the Box mask

Lion Gargoyle Mask

What kind of mask is this? This mask is a mix of a lion and a gargoyle. It also has a huge ring that goes through the nose. This moves back and forth while you roam the streets, making it one of the visually craziest masks.

Watch Dogs Legion Lion Gargoyle Maske
The Lion Gargoyle Mask (Image source: YouTube).

Where can you find it? For this mask, you also stay in Westminster. You will find it in the basement of Somerset House in the northeast of the district. It lies on a wooden crate.

Watch Dogs Legion Somerset House
In the Somerset House, you will find the Lion Gargoyle Mask.

Golden Pig Mask

What kind of mask is this? In Watch Dogs Legion, there are several pig masks, just like there are with the robots. But the golden mask is of course the crown.

Watch Dogs Legion Golden Pig Maske

Where can you find it? To get this mask, go to Nine Elms and head to the US embassy. The mask is located across the street to the south, right on the balcony of a building. Again, you will need a drone to reach the mask.

Watch Dogs Legion Embassy Garden Maske
On a balcony, you will find the Golden Pig Mask.

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 03.11. – The last week before Beyond Light starts

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2 begins today, November 3, the last week before the major expansion Beyond Light. We will see what the final reset of Season 12 has in store for you.

This is coming up in Destiny 2: Just now, the Halloween event 2020 has ended, but that shouldn’t concern the Guardians much. Because in a week, the long-delayed expansion Beyond Light will finally start on November 10.

Many Guardians can hardly wait for the release and analyze every little piece of news about the DLC in detail. Bungie even had to rein in the puzzle solvers.

Others seize every opportunity to prepare. But is it worth stockpiling bounties and grinding levels before Beyond Light arrives?

We now also know that Beyond Light will be larger than Shadowkeep but smaller than Forsaken:

More on the topic
The head of Destiny 2 says: “Unlikely that we will ever see something like Forsaken again”

  • Tier 3 (up to +5 over your current power level)
  • pinnacle gear (+5 or more over the power level. The only gear that goes over 1050 and up to a maximum of 1060)

CoD MW & Warzone: New update brings the modes everyone always wishes for

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the Battle Royale spin-off Warzone, a new playlist update has gone live. This immediately attracts two of the players’ favorite modes.

What’s new: As Infinity Ward announced on Twitter, the playlist in both games will be thoroughly shuffled again. However, the update currently only pertains to the playlist, with no further patch notes available at this time.

Changes in Warzone: In Warzone, two new modes are landing in the playlist. The playlist now looks like this:

  • Battle Royale: Solo / Duo / Trio / Quad
  • Zombie Royale Trio: Instead of the Gulag, there is a zombification
  • Blood Money Quads: Plunder version where kills give more cash
  • Warzone Rumble: Large team deathmatch on the BR map
More on the topic
According to the leak: Weapons from CoD Cold War are being specially adapted for Warzone
von Sven Galitzki

In multiplayer for Modern Warfare, however, there are a bit more changes. You will now find the following modes:

  • Tournament: 2vs2 gunfights in knockout tournament
  • Ground War: The big mode in the standard version
  • Blueprint – Custom Gunfight: 3vs3 fights with blueprint weapons
  • “Which objective?”: Objective modes where you also collect objective points with kills
  • Shipment 24/7
  • Shoot House 24/7

The modes Onslaughter and Gunfight are therefore being removed. Especially the addition of the modes Shipment 24/7 and Shoot House 24/7 will likely please many fans.

What’s going on with Call of Duty?

Update brings Shipment and Shoot House at the same time

This is what the modes are about: Recently, the modes were present in the form of “Shoot the Ship”, now they are available in separate 24/7 form. Both modes are very popular with fans and have almost traditionally been requested in the comments of playlist updates. This week, the request was fulfilled.

cod modern warfare shipment top view
Shipment, probably the most popular map in Modern Warfare.

Shipment is a very small and fast map that stands for plenty of action. You don’t have to search long, but are almost constantly in combat. It is also great for gaining a lot of experience points.

Shoot House is also a rather small map, but it is a bit more relaxed than Shipment. Both maps are a good choice if you are into rapid continuous fire.

Meanwhile, preparations are advancing steadily towards the new CoD Cold War, which will be released on November 13. MeinMMO shooter expert Sven Galitzki is more uncertain than ever regarding the purchase of Cold War. “I’m more unsure than ever with Call of Duty.”

FIFA 21 introduces the first league SBC, deactivated after just one hour

In FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, the first league/tournament SBCs went live on Monday evening. However, they were only available for a very short time: hardly had they gone live, and they were already gone.

Update, November 3, 6 PM: In another tweet, it was explained that they are currently investigating which players are affected by the problem. These players should then get their exchanged player cards back.

Additionally, it is announced that the SBC should be back later this week. However, no specific time is given.

This is how players are reacting: While many players are frustrated with the error, there are also voices that see at least one positive side: Since players should get back the ones they redeemed, they can redo the SBC when it returns.

The main point of discussion regarding the SBCs is that the stronger packs in the challenge were untradeable. In fact, league SBCs are very popular among many players, as they can be effectively used to boost their club with players and coins. However, untradeable pack players cannot be used for trading on the transfer market.

As FIFA streamer Castro commented under the post: “Tradeable packs or we riot.”

Some players hope that this might also have been an error that led to the deactivation. However, that is still open; there is currently no official statement on this issue.

Pokémon GO: Leak shows important changes to Mega Pokémon – Soon permanent?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Data miners indicate that Niantic is currently working on the Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO. There is a change that many of you might appreciate. It is a major wish of the community.

What’s going on with the Mega Pokémon? When this new feature was introduced, many trainers in Pokémon GO were dissatisfied. Mega Evolutions temporarily make a Pokémon stronger for battles, but

  • it initially cost a lot of energy
  • the energy had to be painstakingly collected
  • the Mega Evolutions are only temporary – after the time runs out, they revert to “normal” Pokémon

Trainers found some key issues here. Even big YouTubers like Spieletrend or TrainerTips mentioned some ideas to improve the Mega Evolutions.

A wish that was often expressed in the community was for “permanent Mega Pokémon”. These should remain in this form after the Mega Evolution and not expire after a certain time. And now there is new information on this.

Data miners find hints about permanent Mega Evolutions

This is shown by a leak: On reddit, the data miners of Pokeminers display their findings. They regularly search through the game’s code for changes. This allows them to find out what Niantic is currently working on and what might be activated in the game soon.

However, keep in mind that these data mining findings are not guaranteed changes that will actually be activated in the game. It may be that Niantic is just experimenting and might delete it soon or that the findings could be integrated into the game in a completely different way than expected.

Initially, the data miners show code related to locking temporary Mega Evolutions.

.get_TempEvolutionIsLocked
.set_TempEvolutionIsLocked
.get_LockedTempEvolution
.set_LockedTempEvolution
TemporaryEvolutionFinishMs
TempEvolutionIsLocked
LockedTempEvolution

It is suspected that this code could be related to the following line.

MakeTempEvoPermanent

Make Temp Evo Permanent, meaning make a temporary Mega Evolution permanent. How this will be implemented and whether the interpretation is indeed correct will be revealed in the coming days or weeks when Niantic announces something in this direction.

What could this mean?

The most obvious assumption is that Niantic is changing the function of the Megas so that they remain permanent. A feature that could make many players happy.

What do players say about this?

  • “Sounds promising that they added something to make Megas permanent,” writes 47Dud3_ on reddit
  • “[…] I’m not sure if it’s the right way to handle the Megas. It would make more sense if they simply set the evolution costs to 0 after the first Mega Evolution. It should then last 4 hours and can only be used once every 24 hours […]” says Lambsauce914 on reddit

Other players speculate that one Mega Evolution per species could be made permanent. This would help keep track of them.

What do you think Niantic is planning with the Mega Evolutions and how would you prefer it? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.

However, there is now guaranteed joy in PvP. Because if you put in the effort, Niantic will reward you with cool rewards. Pokémon GO brings legendary Pokémon as PvP rewards to you,
