Testers showcase the huge PS5 compared to Xbox Series X

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Sony’s PlayStation 5 (PS5) has been unboxed by testers. We show you how gamers are talking about the new photos and videos of the console and what topic is particularly of interest.

What is it about? On October 27, an embargo on the unboxing of the PlayStation 5 was lifted. Selected testers had the console at home and were allowed to make videos and pictures of them unboxing the PS5 and how the console looks in real life.

We reported that the first videos of the PS5 unboxing are there and the internet is going crazy.

The PS5 next to the Xbox Series X – Size is the topic

This is the comparison: One of the websites that got to unpack and set up the PS5 is TheVerge.com. They were also chosen to test Microsoft’s new consoles, the Xbox Series X and Series S.

A comparison photo shows the three consoles side by side on a table. Here it becomes clear how tall Sony’s console is compared to the other two when standing upright.

Previously, there were such size comparisons between PS5 and Xbox Series X as well, but they were still digital and without “real” photos.

For those who don’t like the comparison to the Xbox, a video from GameSpot might be more enjoyable. They compared the size of the PS5 with the PS1, PS2, PS3, PS3 Slim, PS4, and PS4 Pro.

We have unboxed: If you are interested in next-gen consoles, we have some exciting photos for you. We got to unbox the Xbox Series X and Series S. Included are the “banana for scale” and a dog. Will that end well? Find out in our unboxing of the Xbox Series X and Series S.

How players react to the size

On Twitter, memes are already circulating. This comparison by @DomsPlaying mentions that actually the first Xbox was considered bulky. Now, however, the PlayStation 5 could take that position:

This is what players are saying:

  • “For a gaming console, this is huge. Looks like a PC tower” via YouTube
  • “I’m still amazed at how big the PS5 is” via YouTube
  • “It looks big, but seeing it live must be different” via YouTube
  • “That thing is way too big” via YouTube

On our site MeinMMO, user EViolet writes:

“[…] Man oh man, the PS5 is HUGE – A real block on the leg. So I won’t buy either one, but if I did, I would choose the Xbox based solely on design. It looks more elegant to me and would fit much better in my living room. But that’s just my opinion.”

Others notice that the box in which the PS5 is packaged is also large. A mailman would probably struggle with large packages when the consoles are shipped.

A large package also reached a YouTuber who received a giant Xbox fridge from Microsoft.

You are asked – What do you think of it?

In our survey, we want to know how you like the PS5 after the unboxing.

Do you find it too big or does it fit well into your living rooms or on your desks?

Just take part in the survey and vote for your opinion. Also feel free to let us know in the comments why you decided that way and what your opinion of the console is.

Streamer says: “I regret covering Genshin Impact”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

On the verge of tears, a streamer reports how much he regrets having supported the co-op RPG Genshin Impact. He apologizes and feels dirty.

Genshin Impact still attracts numerous players and is one of the major games of the past weeks. Many streamers and YouTubers have also jumped on the hype train and have supported Genshin Impact or even spent large sums of money on the game. The streamer Mtashed is now drawing a first conclusion. He could not sleep because of his videos and felt dirty for having endorsed the game.

Who is he? Most readers of MeinMMO will probably know Mtashed, as he is a prominent Destiny streamer. Since the launch of Genshin Impact, he has primarily focused on the co-op RPG and has created numerous videos about it. Most of them are guides and explanations of different mechanics, but often also videos in which he uses the prayer system to obtain new characters.

His videos on Genshin Impact are popular, reaching between 150,000 and 1.7 million views on YouTube.

Genshin Impact Claymore Razor
Mtashed often recommends the hero Razor.

What did he say? In one of his latest videos, Mtashed talks about not continuing to play his Genshin Impact account, into which he has invested over $5,000. He regrets having showcased the game and especially the gacha system so often.

There are very addictive practices in this game. I’m sorry if I ever seduced you into using prayers [the gacha system]. I feel guilty about this. I could only sleep poorly. I’m not joking, I regret having accompanied this game.

I’m a content creator, and I can declare that as a business expense. And a single video, my tips video, earned me $7,300 [referring to Canadian dollars, approximately $5,500 US or €4,700] and basically paid for all the prayers I made on this account. I know that other people cannot afford that. And I know that probably people incited by my content have spent money on this game.

Then Mtashed is visibly on the verge of tears. He struggles to find words several times, but his voice breaks repeatedly. The relevant passage can be seen at minute 2:27.

I’m concerned that by promoting this game and showcasing these weapons, I’ve seduced others to spend money in this game and thus potentially caused financial damage. I believe this system is very predatory. I believe this system is gambling.

A little later, he further explains:

I can no longer promote this game in good conscience. I can’t spend anything on it anymore because I feel dirty for that.

Genshin Impact and the gacha principle are often criticized for being gambling or pay-to-win.

What consequences is Mtashed drawing? Throughout the day, Mtashed is setting all videos on private in which he used the gacha system and made wishes. He regrets possibly having led others to invest money in the game, which they might not even have.

genshin impact money survey results header
In Genshin Impact you can spend a lot of money – and still be disappointed. Just like in gambling.

What is Mtashed doing now? Mtashed still wants to play Genshin Impact, but on a new free-to-play account. There, he does not want to spend any money and will only use wishes when he has earned them in the game. This can also be done with the earnable currency Primogems.

He wants to use his old account only for a few guides and explanations but will no longer play otherwise.

What do you think of the streamer’s reaction? Do you find it good how he proceeds and what he is saying? Have you also spent a lot of money in Genshin Impact?

In a survey, you told us how much money you have already spent in Genshin Impact.

FIFA 21: Why Dembélé must definitely be in your Ultimate Team

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 21, Dembélé’s card is truly impressive. Here we explain why you should definitely get the Frenchman into your Ultimate Team: The price-performance ratio is outstanding, for relatively little coins you get so much speed.

Which card are we talking about? This is the standard gold card of Ousmane Dembélé with an overall rating of 83. At first glance, it may seem somewhat unassuming, but it is an incredibly dangerous weapon for your FUT team. We explain why you should definitely bring Dembélé into your team.

Gold card of Dembélé

Dembélé already appears in our list of the currently most popular cards in FUT 21 and not without reason.

Dembélé’s card is that strong

What makes the card special: There are several reasons why Dembélé is highly recommended in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. The main reasons why you should get him are quickly listed:

  • He is incredibly fast,
  • can shoot with both feet
  • and is not too expensive. (around 50,000 coins on PS4)

If you take a closer look at his stats, you’ll quickly understand what makes the card so grand. He has an insane speed of 95 and outstanding dribbling stats of 91. Also, his passing stats are really good, and his shooting is impressive. Particularly because Dembélé has 5-star weak foot skill, making him two-footed.

But the player has one more ace up his sleeve: He also possesses 5-star skill moves. This makes him almost unstoppable, as the combination of 5-star weak foot and skill moves is super rare.

Many goals and assists should be guaranteed,

With “Basic” Chemistry Style

How to make the card even stronger: If you decide to bring Dembélé into your team, you should definitely use the “Deadeye” Chemistry Style. This boosts his shooting stats significantly. However, the passing stats will also be enhanced by the Chemistry Style in the right places.

With “Deadeye” Chemistry Style

The former Dortmund player is thus a clear recommendation for your FUT team. Here we show you the strikers with the best ratings in FIFA 21 and whether they are worth it.

Pokémon GO: Spotlight hour with Zwirrlicht today – Can be really good

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO today, on October 27th, the Spotlight Hour with Shuppet is taking place. We will show you the bonuses and the Shinies that you can catch.

What is a Spotlight Hour? This event takes place every Tuesday in Pokémon GO. For one hour, a special Pokémon is in the spotlight and a special bonus rounds off the event.

This week is all about Shuppet. That’s fitting, as the Halloween Event is currently ongoing, which increases the spawn of this monster anyway.

Spotlight Hour with Shuppet – All Information

When does the Spotlight Hour run? It starts at 6:00 PM local time. For one hour, Shuppet spawns will be increased.

What are the bonuses? Currently, Shuppet already appears more often, but during the Spotlight Hour, there will be almost only Shuppet. Additionally, spawn rates are generally increased.

As an additional bonus, there are also double XP for evolving Pokémon.

Are there Shiny Shuppet? Since the Halloween Event 2017, you can catch Shuppet in its shiny form. You can recognize it easily, as it is red instead of gray.

Shiny Shuppet

Is the event worth it? From a usability standpoint, Shuppet is not interesting. Its final evolution, Banette, is not strong.

However, Shiny hunters will surely find it worthwhile. Outside of the Halloween Event, Shuppet is quite rare. So you could take advantage of your chances for a Shiny here.

Shuppet does appear quite frequently during the Halloween Event, but during the Spotlight Hour, you obviously have the best chances. After all, it will be almost everywhere.

What happens next? This is the last Spotlight Hour in October. However, in November, it will continue every Tuesday with new Pokémon in the spotlight.

All information about the Spotlight Hours in November and other events can be found here:

PS5 Unboxing: The first videos are here and the internet goes wild

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The first unboxing videos for the PlayStation 5 went live just now. We show you on MeinMMO the videos and look at the comments: The interest in the unboxing of Sony’s new console is immense.

Why are the videos coming out right now? There have been rumors for some time, that Sony has already shipped consoles to influencers and journalists. However, reporting on the PS5 was apparently under an embargo. This embargo ended on 27.10.2020 at 1:00 PM German time.

Now journalists and influencers have posted their videos about the unboxing of the PS5 online. Although it is still early morning in the USA, the comment sections are already full, view counts are skyrocketing, and excitement is pulsating across the web.

Unboxing video of the PS5 has over 250,000 views immediately

These are the unboxing videos: Influencer Marques Brownlee has 12.6 million subscribers on YouTube. Brownlee is known for reviewing hardware. His channel is filled with videos in which he tests smartphones, regularly racking up between 2 million and 5 million views.

He is now unboxing the PlayStation 5 and showcasing the hardware to his fans, many of whom envy him for this privilege.

The YouTuber says:

  • The first thing he noticed is simply the size: The PlayStation 5 is gigantic
  • The textures of the PS5 are interesting, the outside of the PS5 is matte, but the inside is glossy with reflections
  • “super cool” is the text that consists of tiny X and O, the controller symbols of PlayStation

Brownlee places the consoles side by side to highlight the size difference between the PS5 and the Xbox Series X.

The unboxing video of the PS5 has already surpassed 250,000 views and more than 35,000 comments just a few minutes after its release.

A second unboxing video for the PlayStation 5 comes from the international gaming site IGN. There, Destin Legarie carefully unboxes the PlayStation 5 and even puts on gloves for it.

Legarie also seems impressed by the size of the PlayStation 5, comparing it to and placing it next to every other console in his household, including a standard PlayStation 4.

PS4-vs-PS5
In comparison to the PS5, the PS4 looks quite small.

In the comments, it says:

“Dude, that thing is a beast. God damn, the PS3 looks small next to it. Everyone will lay this thing down to fit it into the living room decor.”

During the unboxing, testers show the PlayStation 5 in direct comparison with the Xbox Series X and other PS consoles.

You can easily try out whether the PlayStation 5 fits into your living room decor with an AR app.

By the way, in an interview, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan spoke about the pre-orders and the availability of the PS5 at launch. For example, the PS5 sold better in the USA in the first 12 hours than the PS4 did in its first 12 weeks. You can find more about this here:

CoD Mobile introduces new weapon – But locks it immediately for tournaments

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Call of Duty: Mobile received a new weapon in Season 11, the NA-45 sniper rifle. This has already caused players to curse, as it has an unfair mechanic that reminds of “noob tactics” from the past. Now the gun is banned, at least for professionals.

What kind of weapon is this? The NA-45 has been in the game since the Halloween event in CoD Mobile. It is a sniper rifle that has a unique feature.

While the weapon is weaker than most snipers in terms of damage per shot, it has explosive ammunition. The NA-45 has only two rounds in the magazine: The first sets an explosive charge, and the second detonates it.

These two rounds can be fired in quick succession. Although the NA-45 is (still) not among the best weapons in CoD Mobile, it is incredibly powerful because of this. The explosion can surprise enemies and kill them instantly. In the weapon’s trailer, you can see how it works:

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

However, professionals can currently do little with the NA-45. The new sniper was banned from the championships on the same day it was released.

How do I get this weapon? Anyone who wants the new sniper rifle without paying for it must complete a series of challenges:

  • 10 kills with the “Agile” perk
  • 5 kills with a sniper rifle
  • earn the “Long Shot” medal 5 times
  • 15 kills with a sniper rifle with two attachments
  • 20 kills with a sniper rifle with five attachments
  • 20 kills with the Outlaw with a laser attachment
  • 20 kills with the Outlaw with a scope attachment
  • 20 kills with the Outlaw with four attachments

The challenges also provide a lot of XP for the new Battle Pass. If you don’t want to invest the time but have some cash to spare, you might get the NA-45 with the “Lycanthrope” skin in the new lottery.

CoD Mobile Lycanthrope NA 45
The Lycanthrope comes with a stylish appearance and strong attachments. In the new Arsenal you can view the legendary skin.

NA-45 too unfair – Banned in the Championships

Why is the weapon unfair: The use of the weapon resembles “noobtubing”, a technique that has been frowned upon since the early days of shooters. In this, players aim roughly at the ground in front of a player with rocket or grenade launchers and kill them without actually having to hit them.

The same trend has emerged with the NA-45. Players no longer aim properly, as is customary for snipers, but quickly scope in, fire both shots at the ground, and kill a player without them being able to defend themselves effectively.

cod mobile fhj-18
“Noobtubing” is typically associated with rocket launchers, now likely with the NA-45 as well.

Since the shots can come in quick succession and only then does it reload, there are hardly any ways to prevent this. Many players struggle with it and do not quite know what to do about it.

Why is the weapon banned? In the currently ongoing Championships of CoD Mobile, the NA-45 cannot be played. It is not explicitly stated whether this is because it is too strong or because the tournament is currently underway.

Both are possible, although usually in tournaments it is not allowed to change the rules or allow new content during the ongoing competitions.

Can I play it? The weapon was therefore banned from the Championships of CoD Mobile, at least for now. Apparently, the problem with the NA-45 is greater than expected. However, you can still use it in regular games.

If you want to farm some XP in Season 11 or rank up, the NA-45 might help you – or stand in your way, as you could also run into it. In our special, you can read what changes with Season 11 and what has happened in the game since release.

How to unlock World Quests in WoW: Battle for Azeroth

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

If you want to complete world quests in WoW: Battle for Azeroth, you first need to unlock them. A few requirements are necessary.

World quests are important in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. Many players want to start with world quests right away to prepare for dungeons and later for raids or PvP – but they may be missing. In this small guide, we will show you how to unlock World Quests in Battle for Azeroth.

Update: This article was originally published in 2018. We updated it on 29.10.2020 with the latest information from WoW Patch 9.0.

WoW Guide: Requirements for World Quests in Battle for Azeroth

The maximum level is required: After the level squish, the most important requirement for unlocking world quests is reaching level 50. Before that, world quests are not offered at Kul Tiras and Zandalar.

WoW Jaina Writing a book because I can

Reputation with three factions: To unlock world quests, a character must have friendly reputation with three different factions from Battle for Azeroth.

  • Horde players need friendly reputation with:
    • Zandalari Empire
    • Talanji’s Expedition
    • Voldunai
  • Alliance players need friendly reputation with:
    • Order of Embers
    • The Storm’s Wake
    • 7th Legion

To achieve this reputation, it is usually sufficient to complete some quests in all three zones of your own faction. After just a few quests per area, the requirement is fulfilled. Only with the Order of Embers in Drustvar does it take a bit longer, as the quest line grants reputation only later – but a large amount then.

WoW Battle for Azeroth Tulanji Fire

Advance the war campaign: Most players overlook this step. To unlock world quests, the war campaign must be advanced. You need to play it until you have established a base in all three areas of the opposing faction. The war campaign always starts on the respective ship of your faction in Boralus or Dazar’alor. In doing so, you also unlock the island expeditions “by the way”.

Whistle as a reward: When all requirements are met, you can turn in the quest “The Unity of Kul Tiras” (Alliance) or “The Unity of Zandalar” (Horde) on your ship. This unlocks the world quests on both continents and also grants the flight master’s whistle. With this, you can teleport directly to a flight master.

If you already have a whistle from Legion, it will just be upgraded.

What do world quests offer? World quests are one of the fundamental endgame activities of WoW: Battle for Azeroth, especially for new characters at max level. They not only provide reputation, gold, and artifact power, but often reward good equipment that eases access to dungeons and raids.

Are you still having fun with world quests? Or are you already eagerly awaiting the next expansion Shadowlands?

After ban and scandal: Today, MontanaBlack returns to Twitch

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris returns after his Twitch ban today, October 27.

This is what happened: On September 24, MontanaBlack was banned on Twitch. The reason was his streams from his vacation in Malta. There he took pictures of women from a distance, made Neanderthal sounds and shouted to a woman to come for “Ficki Ficki”.

After that, he expressed regret and accepted a Twitch ban for it. The ban followed: 33 days off was Twitch’s response to these actions.

This is how it looks now: Now the 33 days are over and tonight the streamer is allowed to go live on Twitch again. He had already planned some things in advance, which were partly unable to be implemented due to the Corona crisis.

Return after 33 days

This is what the streamer says: On Twitter, MontanaBlack announced that he is likely to be able to stream again around 10:00 PM. Exactly then he wants to start his livestream.

Previously, the streamer had planned to start his first stream after the ban back in Malta. Namely exactly where the reason for his ban occurred.

However, the Corona crisis disrupted the streamer’s plans. Malta was declared a risk area and MontanaBlack decided against a trip to Malta.

Now the stream will take place in Germany and he has already planned something for that as well. On Instagram, he showed that he wants to raffle some things during the stream. Among them are also some new smartphones that he paid for out of his own pocket.

What did MontanaBlack do in the meantime? During his ban, the streamer was still busy. He regularly uploaded videos to YouTube, which mainly focused on FIFA 21.

He also invited YouTube colleagues to join him. This resulted in a provocative scene from MontanaBlack’s streamer room. Colleagues appeared there who had taken over this room from a “previous tenant” who was obviously still out of sight.

Now MontanaBlack no longer has to hide in the streams and can go live again openly. It will be interesting to see how his stream will go for his return.

What is today’s maintenance about? A week ago, The Division 2 received the next major update with Title Update 11.1 (TU11.1). Besides changes in numerous areas of the game – especially for the Summit mode – the patch also brought various bug fixes, but even now there are still a few glitches, and adjustments to the game are ongoing – albeit on a smaller scale.

This is how today’s maintenance will go

These times are important: As usual, the developers at Massive have already announced the schedule for today’s maintenance on Twitter.

This is what you can expect today:

  • Maintenance begins at 9:30 AM German time 
  • Downtime will also start, meaning the Division 2 servers will go offline on all platforms
  • Unless issues arise during maintenance, it is expected to last about 3 hours. During that time, your agent life must pause
  • Servers should be back online by 12:30 PM German time at the latest
  • With the server restart, the downtime ends and thus today’s maintenance as well

However, keep in mind: The maintenance schedule may change. The end of maintenance is often moved forward or back by Massive. If anything goes wrong today, we will update this article as usual.

Ubisoft explains how their latest games on PS5/Xbox Series X will be better

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

The new consoles from Microsoft and Sony will be released soon – the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X/S. And Ubisoft has now explained in detail how exactly their latest games will be improved through free next-gen upgrades on the upcoming hardware compared to the PS4 and Xbox One.

When will the new consoles be released? Gamers won’t have to wait much longer – at least not if they managed to secure one of the new next-gen consoles in advance. Currently, the PS5 and Xbox Series X are sold out. Whether that will change before launch is still unknown.

But for those who were lucky, the following dates are when it starts:

ps5 xbox series x new survey header

What’s the deal with next-gen upgrades? Numerous games will be released for the then old console generation and for the next-gen.

Many of these games will receive so-called next-gen upgrades on the PS5 and Xbox One platforms – either directly at launch or a bit later. This means that buyers of the last-gen versions will also be able to enjoy the new technical possibilities on the next-gen (usually) at no additional cost.

For 8 of its latest or upcoming games, Ubisoft has now explained in detail in a blog what changes come with the next-gen upgrades. Below you will find the games and the corresponding upgrade details.

By the way, all the upgrades listed below are free for owners of the PS4 or Xbox One versions. If you want to upgrade from the PS4 disc version to the PS5, consider that you need a PlayStation 5 with a drive. This will not be possible on the all-digital PS5.

The music industry writes a nasty letter to Twitch: A matter of life and death

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

A conflict between the music industry and Twitch is brewing. Representatives of artists in the music industry sharply criticize the streaming platform, claiming they are doing too little to protect the rights of artists. This endangers their existence. However, Twitch denies this.

This is the letter: The US site Variety has a letter from representatives of musicians and songwriters to Twitch and Amazon. It is signed by 18 organizations representing copyright holders. Among these organizations is the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which claims to represent 85% of the music legally sold in the USA (via riaa). So this is somewhat like “the music industry” you often read about.

The letter was sent on Thursday, October 22nd. It was addressed to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and the Twitch CEO Emmet Shear (featured image). Amazon acquired Twitch in 2014 for $970 million.

The letter states that Twitch allows its streamers to use the rights holders’ music without a license. It appears that Twitch is doing nothing against the thousands of copyright violations and doesn’t even acknowledge them.

It is mentioned that the representatives of the artists are “deeply disappointed” by Twitch’s actions. There is still an immense amount of “unlicensed music” available on the platform. This “concerns” the rights holders.

Twitch grows with music, jeopardizes artists’ livelihoods

Twitch uses music to grow their platform and dismisses musicians with vague platitudes. Twitch turns a blind eye when the rights of musicians are violated. However, it is crucial for musicians to receive fair royalties on a growing platform like Twitch. This is a matter of life and death:

  • Because the money that is missing makes the difference between whether a musician has a roof over their head or not.
  • It makes the difference between whether a musician can afford health insurance or not.
  • It makes the difference between whether they can work as artists or whether they have to give up a lifelong dream.
Twitch is primarily a gaming platform. Right now, the platform is growing rapidly, also because the Corona pandemic restricts other entertainment options. Twitch, through its strong growth, has drawn the attention of the music industry, as artists use Twitch as an alternative to concerts and tours.

Twitch says: We are proud of how we help musicians

This is Twitch’s response: Twitch denies these allegations in a statement from Monday. They are very proud of what an important service Twitch has become for musicians and songwriters, now that other stages in the real world are closing and tours have to pause.

They have teamed up with “dozens of labels” to ensure that the music of the artists is distributed and promoted. Additionally, they pay some labels royalties.

Twitch claims they are proud to contribute to the health of the music industry. Furthermore, they investigate every copyright infringement complaint.

Copyright strikes are causing panic – streamers are deleting clips out of fear of bans
von Schuhmann

“Twitch turns a blind eye when users violate rights”

This is what the rights holders are saying now: In a further statement from the rights holders RIAA, it is said:

Twitch looks the other way when users violate rights. They shift the responsibility to the streamers: No company seeking a genuine partnership with artists behaves like that.

Therefore, a large coalition of organizations has now come together to point out Twitch’s misconduct, which continues to make unlicensed music available on their platform.

Twitch exploits the work of musicians, songwriters, and many others without compensating them.

Twitch must now acknowledge the seriousness of the situation and ensure that no unlicensed music is available on Twitch.

TimTheTatman-Titel-Twitch.v1
Streamers like TimTheTatman have received warnings on Twitch.

The conflict between the music industry and Twitch has been brewing for several months. Just a few days ago, Twitch deleted thousands of clips that had copyright complaints lodged against them.

This gives streamers on Twitch a uneasy feeling:

Twitch deletes thousands of clips, warns hundreds of streamers – they are angry and confused

Destiny 2 Beyond Light: Which new class will you try first?

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time < 1 minutes

In Destiny 2, the expansion Beyond Light is on the horizon. This time, the launch is particularly exciting because new classes are coming for the first time – but which one should you play?

That’s why the launch is so interesting: With the launch of the next expansion “Beyond Light“, players will have access to completely new classes in Destiny 2 for the first time. Instead of receiving upgraded Arc, Void, or Solar subclasses, the DLC brings fresh Stasis classes.

This introduces the first new element ever in Destiny. The Stasis abilities resemble ice or frost magic from other games, and their source is not light, but darkness.

No wonder Guardians are itching to try out the new classes.

MeinMMO wants to know which class you want to dive into the adventure with first. Before we get to the survey, we’ll briefly introduce you to the 3 new classes.

With A3: Still Alive comes a new hardcore mobile MMORPG – this is what makes it so special

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Hardcore PvP fans will receive a new MMORPG for iOS and Android with A3: Still Alive in just a few weeks. Even Battle Royale fans can take a look at it.

What is A3: Still Alive? The mobile MMORPG by Netmarble is based on a very popular PvP MMORPG in Asia called A3. Player-versus-player battles are also at the forefront in the mobile version. It is played from an isometric perspective, similar to Diablo 3.

You are not safe anywhere in the world and can be attacked at any time. However, there are also quests and additional PvE content. This mix made the quasi-predecessor A3 so popular in Asia.

  • The MMORPG also offers a story told through chapters and cutscenes.
  • You create your hero from the classes Berserker (Male), Archer (Female), Templar (Male), Wizard (Female), and Assassin (Male). There is a gender lock.
  • The character creation is very detailed with many options to customize your hero.
  • Classic MMORPG gameplay with solo and cooperative campaigns in areas like deserts, forests, and snowy landscapes.
  • A Battle Royale mode for 30 players, where you will be leveled up.
  • The free-for-all mode “Dark Presence” for 100 vs 100 players, where you fight with the levels and items you have earned.
  • Guild wars play a significant role in PvP battles.
  • It is possible to summon an AI partner to assist you.

An MMORPG with Battle Royale

  • In this mode, you are given predetermined weapons and skills to ensure fairness. Your level will also be adjusted.
  • It is possible to unlock special weapons by collecting points on the battlefield.
  • There is no auto-combat in the Battle Royale mode. You must actively strike.
  • The map is designed for 30 players and is therefore not too large. The developers want the battles to progress very quickly and that a match does not drag on too long.

Is it not possible to play the MMORPG on PC? You can play the game on release via the BlueStack emulator on PC.

To do this, download BlueStacks from the official website and then install A3: Still Alive as soon as it is released.

When does the MMORPG launch? The global release of A3: Still Alive is planned for November 10 for Android and iOS devices.

WoW has just buried one of the fastest leveling methods

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The turbo leveling in World of Warcraft has been nerfed. The “dungeon boosting” is no longer worth it.

In World of Warcraft, there are many methods to level up quickly. Whether it’s traditional questing, visiting dungeons, island expeditions, or PvP. However, one of the fastest methods has now been drastically nerfed. Those visiting dungeons with incomplete groups now receive less XP than before.

What has changed? Enemies in dungeons now grant the same amount of experience points per player, regardless of the group size. Previously, enemies had a value of experience points that was distributed among all players. The fewer players in the group, the more experience points individual characters received.

WoW Hotfix Dungeon XP

Now all players always receive the same value of XP, regardless of the group size. So it is no longer worthwhile to tackle a dungeon with only 2 or 3 players.

Why did Blizzard do this? Blizzard has fixed a bug that arose primarily due to the Pre-Patch 9.0. Due to the scaling of dungeons, some “extreme leveling tactics” were possible. Blizzard wants dungeons to still be seen as a lucrative means of leveling up, but not overshadow all other methods at the same time.

Patch 9.0 caused some bugs. For a brief time, gems were the best one could get as The Burning Crusade.

What does this mean? For most players, this is likely of little relevance. Those who normally play dungeons with 5-player groups will not feel any change, as the experience points gained remain the same.

Only those who have been “boosted” and march through dungeons with smaller groups of 2-4 players will now receive significantly less experience points.

WoW GM Game Master Goblin cry gold titel title 1280x720
Boosters are missing a nice source of income.

Boosters themselves are of course missing a nice source of income, as some players simply let themselves be pulled through a dungeon to quickly reach level 50 without doing much. Booster players could demand a lot of gold when pulling others through dungeons.

Leveling is already fast: Basically, it should be noted that leveling in World of Warcraft has been extremely fast since Patch 9.0. Anyone who takes a weekend can quickly get their character to level 50. Experienced players can even accomplish this in the span of a single evening.

Did you often use the leveling method through dungeons? Or do you prefer to level in a totally terrible way?

Knife attack teleports player in CoD Warzone over half the map

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone, the developers are constantly trying out new mechanics to keep the battle royale exciting for its players. However, it can be doubted whether a new teleport feature is actually planned.

What’s going on this time? A new bug is wreaking havoc in Call of Duty: Warzone. This time, science fiction fans are in for a treat, as the new glitch sends you on a journey halfway across the map – and in breathtaking record time, similar to teleportation technology.

Glitch moves players 2,000 meters in an instant

What does it look like? On reddit, user “DandruffMuffin” shared a clip showing that the current CoD universe is miles ahead of our world when it comes to matter transport:

As Muffin gathers some loot with his teammate near the dam in a BR-2 match, he wanted to leave the house using the shortcut through the upstairs window.

However, the shortcut did not lead outside the house. Just as he pulls out his knife to clear the window, his action teleports him nearly 2,000 meters away. Instead of being at the dam, he suddenly finds himself at East Promenade (see thumbnail).

Clearly confused, he puts away his flame knife (also proof of the technological advancement in the CoD world) and has no idea what just happened. Even a quick glance at the map doesn’t help at first – utterly perplexed, Muffin jumps at the end of the clip, as if he wants to pinch himself to check if it was all just a bizarre dream. But it was just an absurd glitch.

Players love the visible confusion of the victim

What do players say about it? In the comments on reddit, other Warzone players are particularly entertained by the confused reaction of the player. Although no words are spoken, Muffin’s confusion is clearly evident through his gestures. Many players can relate:

  • JustCallMePick: “Yea. The confusion while looking around makes me almost hear the ‘What the … ?’ Then the jump for ‘Is this real now?'”
  • NickFromRugby: “Your reaction really made me laugh because I felt it in my soul ?”
  • lawlykilla: “You were lucky that didn’t happen in the final circle. Then it would have teleported you into the gas LUL”

However, on Twitter under the post from “Call of Duty News”, the mood is not quite so calm. There are many negative comments questioning why anyone would still voluntarily play Warzone.

In fact, reports of bugs and glitches have been increasing again since the introduction of the Halloween event “Haunting of Verdansk”. Just yesterday (October 26), we reported here on MeinMMO about a broken item that allows everyone to cheat. Some players are experiencing issues with the event rewards.

However, our author Maik Schneider has had fewer problems lately and was able to fully enjoy the spooky event, even if it sometimes ruins matches. He considers the event to be very well done and would like to see something like this more often.

Sony names the 1st free game for the PS5 – If you have PS Plus

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Sony has announced that the game “Destruction AllStars” will be delayed on the PS5. However, it will be included in the February 2021 lineup as a monthly game with PS Plus. This also affects users who have pre-ordered the game.

What is it about? Pete Smith, Director of Product Development at Sony, announced in the official PlayStation Blog that the multiplayer game “Destruction AllStars” will be delayed. Instead of being released in November 2020, the game will now be released in February 2021.

However, you will no longer have to buy it – because in February, the game will start directly through PlayStation Plus just like Fall Guys once did, and will be available as one of the monthly free games at no additional cost – provided you have a PS Plus subscription.

Destruction AllStars is a multiplayer game best enjoyed when you play against players from around the world online. We want as many people as possible to experience the chaos on the PS5, and what better way to do that than to make the game available to our PlayStation Plus members?

Sony in the official PlayStation Blog

What about pre-orders? Sony stated that all pre-orders will be canceled and people will be refunded. It does not matter whether the game was pre-ordered digitally in the PlayStation Store or in a physical store.

What if I don’t have PS Plus? Since it is a purely multiplayer title, PS Plus is expected to be required.

What kind of game is this? Destruction AllStars is an action game that focuses on PvP multiplayer. In an arena, you compete against other players with vehicles and more.

The game is developed by Lucid Games. In 2017, the team, along with developer Ghost Games, released the racing game Need for Speed Payback for EA.

PS5 buyers get at least 20 free games with PS Plus in November 2020

Anyone who subscribes to PlayStation Plus and has purchased a PS5 will enjoy the 18 best games from the PS4 era starting in November – in addition to at least 2 regular monthly free games. Because PS5 owners get access to the PlayStation Plus Collection. This should be especially worthwhile for players who have not yet enjoyed the PS4 gaming gems.

By the way, our author Sven Galitzki believes that it’s not that bad if you don’t have a PlayStation 5 at launch, because there aren’t that many exciting exclusive titles available at launch.

FIFA 21 gets its first major update – What’s inside?

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

FIFA 21’s first major update is here. What does Title Update 3.1 include? Here you will find the most important changes from the patch notes of Update 1.05. The update is now live for PS4 and Xbox One.

Update, 27.10. 10:05 AM: The update has now been released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One after PC. It includes all changes from the major Title Update 3 as well as the changes from the smaller Title Update 3.1.

For PlayStation 4, this is Update 1.05, which is 2.5 GB in size.

When will Title Update 3.1 be released? The new Title Update 3.1 is now available on PC (via Origin or Steam) and the consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Previously, FIFA 21 had received two updates, each of which only made minor adjustments. Title Update 3 (along with Title Update 3.1) has a long list of patch notes. We will look at the most important points.

The most important changes from the patch notes for Title Update 3.1

What’s included in the patch notes: Title Update 3.1 has changes from all areas and modes onboard. Both gameplay and visual elements are being revised. In the following list, we summarize the most important changes.

Gameplay – Changes

Various adjustments have been made to gameplay:

  • The “Competitor Mode,” which allows the AI to mimic the playstyle of some of the world’s top FIFA players, will be more challenging.
  • The time players take to recover after a block animation is to be shortened.
  • The Elastico skill move has been slowed down, especially when chained together. This skill move was deemed particularly strong by FIFA pro Cihan in an interview.
  • Through passes sometimes turned into short passes – this should now be prevented.
  • The skill moves “Sombrero Flick,” “Standing Step-over” and the combination “Ball Roll/Scoop Turn” sometimes did not work as intended.

Additionally, many further changes to gameplay arise in specific game situations. For example, the ball could unrealistically fly when two players went for a header.

The “Competitor Mode” plays like the FIFA pros

Ultimate Team – Changes

These bugs have been fixed in Ultimate Team:

  • Many points in the menu were adjusted. For example, the menu sometimes lagged when scrolling right – and options that were on the left side suddenly hung off the screen.
  • Newly bought or obtained players through SBCs sometimes ended up in the wrong places in the menu.
  • Player cards were sometimes displayed incorrectly after goals.
  • In the Co-op Mode, several bugs were fixed, including incorrect displays and stability issues.

Overall, a lot of visual bugs have been corrected in FUT.

Career Mode – Changes

This has been corrected in Career Mode:

  • You can now scout for talents in Hungary, Bulgaria, and Iceland.
  • Incorrect texts were replaced or corrected in various places.
  • If a player was put on the transfer list, and you delegated his contract extension to the assistant, he could no longer be removed from the transfer list.
  • Sometimes development plans were not shown as completed, even though time was up.
  • Players wanted contract extensions, even though they had just signed a new contract.
  • Recently signed players could not be loaned out.

Additionally, many more visual adjustments and bug fixes have been made.

Other Changes

What else has changed? The list of further changes is also long. For example, some bugs in Pro Clubs have been fixed, just like in VOLTA. There were issues with playing music, menus were revised, and stability has improved.

Additionally, a new coach star head is said to have been inserted – however, it is not mentioned which one it will be. Maybe it’s a redesigned Carlo Ancelotti?

Various visual aspects of stadiums and kits have also been revised, animation bugs have been corrected, and stability adjusted. Overall, the list of revisions is very long – you can find the complete patch notes here (via FIFA Forums).

Overall, it seems to primarily involve bugs, adjustments, and improvements. There are indeed many coming together in the list. It remains to be seen how much the patch will affect the gameplay feel once it is live everywhere.

Additionally, the continuation of the OTW event is still to come this week. Here you can find out who is in the Ones-to-Watch Team 2.

After criticism: Pokémon GO changes the important coin system again

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are major changes to the coin system again! The tests regarding the new system are coming to an end and the old system will be reactivated in Germany.

This is the change: From November 5th at 11:59 PM local time, the tests regarding the coin system will end. All countries that participated in the tests, including Germany, will return to the old coin system.

This decision is being implemented due to the feedback from the trainers, says Niantic. There has been continuous criticism of the new system, as initially, one even had to participate in raids to earn coins.

Returning to the old coin system – But why?

This is how it continues: From November 6th, you can earn your coins again in the old ways. You will only receive 50 coins if you have sat in the arenas for about 8 hours. In other ways, such as solving quests, there will no longer be any coins.

Coins
These daily quests will soon no longer exist.

Why is this change happening? Niantic cites trainer feedback as the reason. However, they do not elaborate further.

The criticism was quite loud. Especially at the beginning, one had to do significantly more to get the same amount of coins.

One had to sit in arenas and also solve tasks that were quite tricky. Over time, there were minor adjustments. The task “Win a raid”, which was needed on some days to earn your 20 coins from the quests, was removed.

This was the mood now: After the raid quests were removed, the mood around the system had significantly improved. Therefore, there are now some comments on reddit that believe that this change was no longer necessary.

max_mullen writes on reddit: “‘Based on trainer feedback’, which trainer feedback? After they removed the task “Win a raid” (or made it very rare), all the feedback I read was super positive. I understand if it’s because they are earning less money, but then they shouldn’t say it’s based on trainer feedback.”

Now Niantic has pulled the emergency brake and after a few months canceled the tests. However, they also stated that they are still working on solutions to change the coin system. We can therefore expect another test run soon.

Finally, there has also been criticism of the new eggs in Pokémon GO. They don’t seem to be any better:

The big egg overhaul in Pokémon GO did not make the eggs any better
