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

Sven Galitzki 23. October 2020 Reading time 7 minutes

We explain which buffs, nerfs, new features, and changes await you with the launch of Destiny 2: Beyond Light and Season 12 concerning weapons.

What are the changes about? The autumn expansion Beyond Light is about to start in Destiny 2 along with Season 12. Traditionally, Bungie also tweaks the sandbox at the start of new content.

Now that the studio has already opened up what will change, for example, with the mods, it’s now time for the weapon changes. There are some nerfs, buffs, and general adjustments waiting for you. Additionally, there are finally new details about the upcoming adept weapons for the Trials.

Buffs and Nerfs For Weapons

According to Bungie, some surgical changes will be made to selected weapons for Season 12 – based on player feedback. There have been some buffs to increase the effectiveness of certain firearms, but also nerfs to bring overpowered weapons in line with other options. Here’s what to expect starting November 10:

Outlaw weapon perk: The increase in reload speed felt insufficient at times, so the reload value bonus was increased from +50 to +70.

Merciless – exotic fusion rifle: The inventory value was increased from 36 to 55. This increases the weapon’s reserve ammunition.

The Mountaintop – legendary grenade launcher: This weapon received particularly much feedback. Many Guardians say this top weapon is too strong in PvP. Consequently, it received a nerf:

The explosion damage was reduced by 33%, and the impact damage was increased so that the total damage is 5% lower than before.
The projectile speed multiplier of the “Micro-Missile” perk was reduced from 1.4 to 1.2. Specifically, this means: The grenades are then 20% and no longer 40% faster than other breech-loading grenade launchers.
Decreased precision in the air. The Mountaintop has significant projectile deviation while in the air (about 7 degrees without the “Icarus Grip” mod, significantly less with the mod).

Falling Guillotine – legendary sword: Swords are generally very strong in Season 11, and this example is probably the best sword currently available. However, the dominance of the Guillotine was apparently too much for Bungie. There is a nerf:

The damage of heavy attacks was reduced by about 24% to balance it with other swords.
The Falling Guillotine will still be slightly above the average of swords after this nerf but not as much as it is now.

MIDA Multi-Tool (exotic scout rifle) and MIDA Mini-Tool (legendary SMG):

For the MIDA Mini-Tool, the trait “MIDA Synergy” becomes intrinsic
Additionally, the following perks will be added: Hip-Fire Grip and Kill Clip

By the way, there is a problem with the masterwork upgrade for this weapon, which will be corrected in a later patch.

Sturm (exotic hand cannon) and Drang (legendary pistol):

For the Drang pistol, the trait “Unbreakable” becomes intrinsic
Additionally, the following perks will be added: Improved Rounds and Moving Target

There is also a problem with the masterwork upgrade here, which will be fixed in a later update.

Fallen Image – exotic trace rifle: There will be a change regarding the transmutation spheres. The damage of the air melee attack was reduced by 25%. Also, the damage of the energy drain effect on enemy fighters was significantly reduced.

Arbalest – exotic linear fusion rifle: This weapon, especially popular in PvP, will no longer hit shields multiple times, but its efficiency against enemies shielded by a shield has been increased.

The Jade Rabbit – exotic scout rifle: Armor-piercing rounds will be replaced with large-caliber rounds. This solves a problem where sometimes the exotic perk could not be triggered.

Changes to Weapons

Hand Cannons: There will be profound changes here to create more diversity among the various archetypes and give each of them more reasons to be used.

Aggressive:
- Rate of fire will be increased from 110 to 120.
- Aggressive hand cannons have been split up to tune their values (e.g., damage drop for 100 range in this subfamily now starts at 32 m).

Adaptive and Precision:
- Range now has a greater impact on the minimum damage drop range for both archetypes.
  - Damage drop for 100 range now starts at 25 m (previously 20 m).
- Precision hand cannon
  - (Rate of fire 180) magazine was increased by 37 percent.
  - Note: This also applies to exotics with this rate of fire.

Light Frame (added to Adaptive):
- All hand cannons with light frames (rate of fire 150) have been moved into the adaptive subfamily (rate of fire 140).
  - This also includes “Luna’s Howl” and “Not Forgotten”.
  - An exotic hand cannon retains the rate of fire of 150 – the Sunshot

Currently, lightweight hand cannons (rate of fire 150) are the most used hand cannons in the Crucible. After many experiments with 150s and 140s, Bungie ultimately decided to equalize their rate of fire – to 140, as this is quite balanced in the PvP sandbox. This also gives other weapon archetypes more breathing room between shots, avoids an abundance of hand cannons with a faster TTK than other firearms, and harmonizes well with other upcoming weapon changes.

Sniper Rifles: Snipers are to continue feeling powerful without dominating. Therefore, there will also be some changes to this weapon class in the new season.

Aim assistance will then be influenced by the zoom level of the respective sniper rifle. Lower zoom ranges have less aim assistance, higher zoom ranges have more, and ranges around 50 zoom remain unchanged.
The lowest zoom ranges will have a significant reduction in aim assistance cone angle. The highest zoom ranges will have a slight increase in the angle.

Auto Rifles: In the Season of Worthy, auto rifles with the adaptive archetype (rate of fire 600) such as Grumbling had a buff and have since been very dominant – especially in PvP. This will change with the new season to allow other auto rifles to shine.

The damage per bullet will be reduced from 15.75 to 14.25. Before the Season of Worthy, it was still at 13.75. So it doesn’t return completely to the old value.

Scout Rifles: In Bungie’s eyes, scout rifles already have a reasonable time to kill (TTK) and cannot be adjusted too much; otherwise, they would become too dominant. Therefore, only minor changes were made to make the use of this weapon class a bit easier:

The extent to which a higher aim assist value widens the aim assist cone has been increased.
At maximum values, the aim assist cone will be 15% wider.

Rocket Launchers: Bungie believes that the reserves here are too low, so adjustments will first be made here.

The reserves will then be increased by 1 or 2 rockets. This ultimately depends on the inventory value of each rocket launcher.

By the way, Bungie states that it will likely take another look at this weapon class in a future season. Currently, rocket launchers play almost no role in the power weapon slot; perhaps something will finally change there.

The New Adept Weapons for the Trials of Osiris

Bungie announced a few months ago that they wanted to bring the beloved adept weapons from Destiny 1 back to the PvP pinnacle activity Trials of Osiris in part 2 – but with some new elements. Now there are finally more details about these special weapons. Here’s the most important overview:

General:

All Trials weapons will receive a master version in the future.
The infusion cap will correspond to the season in which they were introduced.
For the first set of master weapons, the infusion cap will correspond to the Season of Worthy (Season 10).
With Beyond Light, special master weapon mods will also be introduced that can only be used on master weapons.

How master weapons differ from base weapons: When leveling up a master weapon to masterwork, it grants additional values:

+10 for the primary value, which is the specific masterwork of the weapon
+3 for all other values

Additionally, for master weapons, you can use either a standard weapon mod or a new master weapon mod. A unique master shader for these weapons has also been designed, which cannot be applied to other weapons or gear.

This is what master weapon mods are about: These mods come in two types:

As weapon stat boosts, each granting +10 to a specific value – similar to the masterwork values. For example, range +10
As versions of existing mods that grant an improved bonus but also have a downside. For example, +40 to magazine, -20 to handling

How to get the master weapons and mods: You can only obtain these master items at the Lighthouse – meaning you need to complete a flawless run and open the Flawless chest at the Lighthouse.

Every week, a different master mod can drop from the Flawless chest. Master weapon mods rotate, and certain mods may only appear later in the season.
The mod will be permanently unlocked for all master weapons upon dropping.
Master weapons will be available from the Flawless chest in a two-week rhythm, rotating in a fixed order. During the other week, there will instead be an armor drop.
The first master weapon of a week will be top loot.

What do you think of these changes? Is there anything you are particularly looking forward to or something you absolutely cannot live with? By the way, weapons are not the only thing that changes with Beyond Light. Therefore, we have summarized everything important for you in a comprehensive overview article:

Pokémon GO: You can catch and evolve Galarian Ponyta and Porygon – But only for a short time

Noah Struthoff 23. October 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO you now have the chance to catch the Galar forms of Ponyta and Porygon. We will show you how to do it and how to evolve them.

How long are Ponyta and Porygon available: The two Galar forms are only in the game to celebrate the release of the latest DLC of Pokémon Sword and Shield. The celebrations only last for one day.

On October 24 at 3:00 AM the event will be over and the Pokémon will disappear.

How to obtain and evolve Galar Porygon and Ponyta

How to catch Galar Ponyta: This Pokémon is initially only available in raids. You need to invest at least one raid pass to fill your PokéDex with the Galar form. You can also do this via remote raid.

After the event, Galar Ponyta, just like the Galar form of Porygon, will then be found in 7 km eggs.

But don’t worry, this is a level 1 raid. You will have no problems in battle.

You can then evolve Galar Ponyta in the usual way. You just need to invest candies and then you will get Galar Rapidash.

How to get Galar Porygon: This Pokémon appears in the wild. When you’re out and about, you will encounter one of these specimens now and then. They are really not that rare.

It is already the second time that Galar Porygon is in the wild.

Evolving Galar Porygon – Here’s how: This is a bit more complicated. First, you need to have the Porygon you want to evolve as a buddy.

Then you need to make 10 excellent throws. So you will need to show off your throwing skills. However, there is no time limit for this. You can complete this task at your own pace.

If you’ve managed that, the evolution to Lurantis will happen. This will be a completely new PokéDex entry for you.

Are the two Pokémon worth it? In short: Neither Lurantis nor Galar Rapidash will become very strong.

We have taken a closer look at the stats of the two Pokémon and provide you with the overview here:

Hearthstone: The new expansion confirms an old WoW theory

Cortyn 23. October 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The new Hearthstone expansion goes to the Darkmoon Faire. Some of the most popular cards are returning.

Blizzard has once again revealed a new expansion for Hearthstone. As many players suspected, the last expansion in 2020 goes to the Darkmoon Faire. It is one of the funnest yet eerily unsettling places. We will reveal what awaits you in “The Darkmoon Madness.”

What’s included in the expansion? As usual, there are 135 new cards available at launch. A smaller “mini-set” with 35 additional cards is expected to follow a few weeks later to shake up the meta a bit and keep the game fresh.

The theme of the expansion is indeed a fun fair, but it will also get quite creepy and dark – reminiscent of “Whispers of the Old Gods.” Of course, a bit of gambling belongs to the fair – although not as much as with this player, who won in turn 1.

A taste of this comes from the cinematic, which, as usual, features a musical performance:

Link to the YouTube content

The expansion “The Darkmoon Madness” will be released worldwide on November 17, 2020.

Corruption is the new keyword: As usual, there is also a new keyword with Darkmoon Madness. In this case, it is “Corruption.” A card with Corruption receives an additional effect or undergoes a transformation when a card is played that costs more than the Corrupted card.

As an example, there’s the Fleetfoot Pearltusk. It is a beast with the stats 4/4 and Rush for a cost of 5 mana. If Corruption is triggered – because you play a card that costs 6 mana or more – then the Fleetfoot Pearltusk gains +4/+4. It then becomes an 8/8 beast with Rush for only 5 mana. Quite powerful.

The Old Gods return: With the Darkmoon expansion, Blizzard finally makes a long-standing rumor true that has existed in World of Warcraft. The Darkmoon Faire is filled with cultists of the Old Gods who worship these dark creatures. Therefore, all four Old Gods are returning as new cards. Their effects are reminiscent of their previous versions, but each has a new twist.

Log in now for a bonus: If you log in to Hearthstone right now, you will receive a legendary card for free – Silas Darkmoon. He is the head of the fair and a servant for 7 mana with the stats 4/4. His battlecry allows you to choose a direction and shuffle all minions one position in that direction. Thus, you pass the minion on your far right to your opponent while gaining their far left minion. This allows for many tactical plays.

Is there more to come? Yes. The developers have come up with a lot. There’s the new “Duel” game mode, which is a mix of self-built decks and dungeon runs. Anyone who pre-orders the new expansion can test the mode already.

Additionally, progression will also be significantly overhauled. We will explain how this works in detail in a separate article.

Destiny 2 is bringing a new moped from ‘Beyond Light’ even before release – Here’s how to get it

Alexander Leitsch 22. October 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2 the release of the new expansion “Beyond Light” is coming soon. But even now you can secure an initial reward from it. The new Sparrow “Cryptomnesia” is available for free through Twitch Prime.

What kind of vehicle is this? The new Sparrow “Cryptomnesia” is an icy vehicle with some cool effects. The ice around the vehicle shimmers, and while flying, it leaves a trail of snow. This already prepares you for the upcoming expansion “Beyond Light”.

The name also hints for many fans at the Deep Stone Crypt, which will be released with the expansion. Cryptomnesia is a phenomenon where suppressed memories and ideas unexpectedly return and are experienced as new. This might exactly apply to the Crypt.

You can watch what the new vehicle looks like in this video on Twitter:

Next, visit the Twitch page and select the “Crown” at the top right. Here you will always find all rewards and actions like the Prime loot.

How long is the item available? The promotion runs from October 21 to November 25.

Is it available on all platforms? In short: Yes! No matter if you play Destiny 2 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, or Google Stadia, everyone can benefit from the promotion.

Where do you pick up the loot in the game? Visit Amanda Holliday in the Tower Hangar. Once you have linked your accounts and claimed the loot on Twitch, the mechanic will have your rewards ready for you in-game.

What else is there besides the Sparrow? Together with the Sparrow, there is the legendary emote “Lumina” and the legendary ship “Ada-1’s Lonely Wolf.” However, neither of these is new content.

Are there more items from Beyond Light? Besides the Sparrow, you can also secure additional items from the upcoming expansion in Destiny 2 – but you will only receive them at release.

Hidden codes from the Collector’s Edition have been found that you can redeem to get the in-game items. However, you do not need to own the expensive version of Beyond Light.

FIFA 21: EA announces Rulebreakers event – What could it be?

Max Handwerk 22. October 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 21 there is a new event coming up on Friday. And EA has now confirmed that it is a new promo called “Rulebreakers”.

Update 22.10., 19:20 Uhr: In a tweet, EA has now revealed the event name. The new promo will be called Rulebreakers and is set to start tomorrow, on 23.10. at 19:00.

However, nothing is known yet about the contents and new special cards. A picture on Twitter suggests a Rulebreakers card that could fit Dries Mertens from SSC Napoli.

In the background of the image, a pitch line is also visible. There are not many more hints available. What could be coming up?

Players speculate – Rulebreakers instead of Ultimate Scream?

This is unusual: Many players actually expected the start of the “Ultimate Scream” event this Friday. The Halloween promo is almost traditionally the first major event after release that takes place in the Ultimate Team season. The timing would have been perfect. This year, however, it seems that another event is taking precedence. Or?

What could be in the event? Some players on reddit speculate that it could be a Halloween variation. Words like “Resurrects” or “Resurrections” often come up as possible names for the event – thus a promo with the theme “Resurrection.” This could also fit Halloween, for example when thinking about zombies,

Players suggest ideas like older players receiving special cards – essentially “brought back to life.” Names like Robben, Ribery, or Ibrahimovic are mentioned. However, this concept would also correspond to the already existing Flashback cards.

By the way, do you know the oldest player in FIFA 21?

Another possible event title that often comes up is “Rulebreakers.” The name is mentioned, for example, by “FUT Watch,” where the code of the game is frequently discussed. And this time, something apparently has been found in the code:

According to the code, the name has already been leaked. Such a promo might not have a Halloween reference, but on reddit, discussions are already taking place about what it could be. Some users suspect that it could indeed be a promo for “unfair” players – that is, players who frequently foul or receive cards. Names like Pepe or Sergio Ramos then come up. However, how this would be implementable is not entirely clear.

Ideas like: “Objective: Concede 5 penalties in Rivals; receive 2 red cards” (via reddit) sound funny, but probably not realistic. How the promo will ultimately look and what it will be called will likely only be revealed by the event itself, unless there are any further hints beforehand.

As for Ultimate Scream, that is also still open for now. However, there is still time for that. Halloween is only on Saturday next week – a Friday remains with October 30 until then to promptly start a Halloween event.

Fallout 76 celebrates the most dreadful day in history and you benefit from it

Benedict Grothaus 22. October 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

Today is Bombs Drop Day – The day when a nuclear strike destroyed the world. Or will destroy, since the day is still far in the future. Fallout 76 is already celebrating this day. MeinMMO explains what Bombs Drop Day is and what you gain from the world coming to an end.

What kind of day is this? Bombs Drop Day is October 23, 2077 (Eastern Time). That’s just a few hours away and is already being celebrated. On this day in the history of Fallout, the atomic bombs fell that destroyed the world.

In itself, this is a terrible day. However, for the world of Fallout, this day marks the beginning of all the games and other media that you know from the universe. Without this day, the entire story of Fallout would be meaningless.

That’s why the developers celebrate Bombs Drop Day particularly with events and discounts. But what exactly is it? We explain what the fall of the bombs means and how you can benefit from the catastrophe.

The End of Everything is the Beginning of Fallout

What exactly happened? On the morning of October 23, sirens go off in the USA announcing an airstrike. Many people think it’s just a test. Then the first bombs fall, both in America and in China.

Only two hours later, the Great War, as it is later called, is already over. A large part of the known world is destroyed, and humanity is mostly wiped out. The people who managed to find refuge in a (functioning) vault have survived.

The aftermath of the war includes irradiated wastelands, mutated humans, animals, and plants, as well as a world where survival is difficult. Even hundreds of years later, people will try to rebuild the world from the ruins – or loot what’s left.

What does this mean for Fallout? For the story of Fallout, this day marks the beginning of everything you can experience in the games. Some of the most important consequences of Bombs Drop Day are:

the uprising at the Mariposa Military Base, where Captain Maxson decides to break from the US government after the war and found the Steel Brotherhood.
the mutation of the Forced Evolutionary Virus (“FEV”), which is responsible for super mutants, mutated ants, and later even for Fire Beasts and the Scorched Plague
Vault-Tec’s experiments slowly becoming clear – Most vaults were never meant to protect people, but for experiments on them
Politicians protect themselves in special state bunkers but are partially killed by a coup. New people come to power and continue the destruction of humanity
people begin to loot the wasteland for what’s left, killing and enslaving others for fun or profit. They roam the world as raiders for decades to come
first new governments are established and try to rebuild the world – like the New California Republic or the new society in Appalachia
important state institutions like the space agency are destroyed, causing people in space to miss the war, die in cryosleep, or crash land

The part that historically occurs first is, by the way, Fallout 76 in 2102 – or 2103 with the Wastlanders Update. In the survival MMO, you essentially play through the backstory to everything that happens afterward in Fallout.

Note: Of course, our world won’t end in 57 years. Or maybe it will, maybe earlier or later. But Fallout takes place in a world where transistors and microchips were never invented, so in an alternate reality.

Events, Bonuses, and Discounts for Bombs Drop Day

What do I get from it? Fallout celebrates the day with classic, quirky humor through some events. You can play Fallout 76 for free all week and there are many reasons to try out the survival MMO. For the event, in-game you can expect:

double experience points
double S.C.O.R.E.
discounts on weapons and armor at the legendary merchant
a free trial version of Fallout 1st

In the current large update “One Wasteland” puts Fallout 76 fully on team play, particularly benefiting newcomers with changes such as dynamic levels. The update is expected to be a turning point for Fallout 76 after a difficult launch:

What discounts are available? In addition to the events in the game, there are discounts on atoms in Fallout 76, the real-money currency, as well as on some content packages. There are also price reductions when purchasing Fallout 4 and on packages in the Fallout Shelters shop.

For more information on the discounts, you can find the official announcement for Bombs Drop Day at Bethesda.

Pokémon GO is said to have caused 30,000 injuries and 250 deaths in the USA

Noah Struthoff 22. October 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A study in the USA has shown how dangerous Pokémon GO can be while driving. According to estimates, over 250 people have already died in connection with traffic accidents related to the game.

This is the study: Purdue University in the US state of Indiana conducted a scientific study on the dangers of Pokémon GO in road traffic.

They reviewed nearly 12,000 accident reports from their county and found that between March 1, 2015, and November 30, 2016, there was an increase in traffic accidents. They noted that many of these accidents occurred in locations that were particularly popular in Pokémon GO, especially those that took place after its release in the summer of 2016.

The scientific study went further and scaled these accidents up to a national level. It concluded that more than 250 fatalities in the USA are attributable to accidents related to Pokémon GO.

145,000 accidents due to Pokémon GO in the USA

The study finds: At the national level, analysts report the following damages related to Pokémon GO in road traffic:

145,000 car accidents
30,000 injuries
256 deaths
Damage amounting to $2 to $7.3 billion

The study stated the following:

Based on police accident reports for Tippecanoe County, Indiana, and using the introduction of the augmented reality game Pokémon GO as a natural experiment, we document a disproportionate increase in accidents and associated vehicle damage, injuries, and fatalities near locations where users can play the game while driving.
We estimate the nationwide costs for users playing Pokémon GO while driving at $5.2 to $25.5 million in the 148 days following the game’s release. When scaling these estimates to the national level, a total amount between $2.0 and $7.3 billion arises.

What to note: There is a lot of estimation behind this. The analysis is based only on Tippecanoe County and was then directly applied to the entire USA. It is likely that there are other areas where these numbers are significantly higher or lower.

Moreover, the number of players has significantly decreased after the release. In the summer of 2016, thousands of people tried Pokémon GO but quickly lost interest. It makes sense that there was a significant increase at the beginning of Pokémon GO, but this declined as players decreased.

Nonetheless, the numbers mentioned here are remarkable, and even if they are only partially accurate, they do indicate a risk associated with Pokémon GO in road traffic.

The police often encounter bizarre situations related to Pokémon GO. For example, they were able to capture a drug dealer because he was on his phone playing Pokémon GO while driving. This led to his arrest and the discovery of drugs.

Another incident occurred in Japan. There, a man assaulted another man over a dispute regarding a gym in the game. Ultimately, the police had to intervene and arrest the attacker. Japan has already seen several bizarre incidents related to Pokémon GO.

The best 4-star characters in Genshin Impact

Alexander Leitsch 22. October 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In Genshin Impact, the strength of the various characters plays a major role. However, the characters with the highest stars can only be obtained through a gacha system. We at MeinMMO will reveal to you in this article which are the best 4-star characters.

Why specifically 4-star characters? In Genshin Impact, you can only earn 4 and 5-star characters through a gacha system, known as wishes. However, these characters also make up the best in the game, as both the tier list for all characters and our MeinMMO community ranking show.

The chance of pulling a 4-star character in a wish is 5.1%
The chance of a 5-star character is only 0.6%

This means that you will get a 4-star character significantly more often, and it also plays into the reroll tactic. In the rerolls, you create new accounts until you start with a good character. This will mostly be a 4-star character.

This ranking shows you the 5 best 4-star characters. For this, we have oriented ourselves on our own tier list, as well as lists from Forbes, Game8, and a video from YouTuber Tectone.

Rank 5 – Chongyun – A-Tier

Who is Chongyun? Chongyun comes from Liyue and was born into a renowned family of exorcists. He himself is also one and has made it his mission to hunt evil spirits and demons.

Chongyun uses a claymore as a weapon and has the element Cryo.

Why does he belong in 5th place? As a Cryo character, Chongyun has the ability to freeze water and thus overcome natural barriers. His ability also causes a delayed AoE Cryo explosion that you can use to create combos. Additionally, cool winds are generated afterwards, which convert all melee attacks into Cryo attacks, which is especially strong in a pure melee team.

Rank 4 – Barbara – A-Tier

Who is Barbara? Barbara is a deaconess of the Favonius Church and a respected and popular character in Mondstadt. This is due both to her kind nature and her special knowledge in healing arts.

Barbara uses a catalyst as a weapon and operates with the Hydro element.

Why does she belong in 4th place? Barbara has a strong ability that allows her to heal all characters in the group. This AoE effect can turn a fight completely, especially when fighting tough bosses in the Twisted Abyss.

Barbara’s healing scales with her maximum HP. Therefore, strengthen her in that area to get better healing.

Rank 3 – Xiangling – A-Tier

Who is Xiangling? Xiangling is the head chef at the Wanmin Restaurant and also serves as a waitress. She cooks with great passion and is characterized by her typically spicy and hot dishes.

Xiangling is played with an elemental build to fully utilize her Pyro powers. She uses a polearm as a weapon.

Why does she belong in 3rd place? Xiangling has an ultimate ability that creates a fire tornado around her, which also stays active when switching characters. This allows for many combos with other characters.

Additionally, Xiangling offers good DPS, even without relying on combos. This makes her a worthy 3rd place.

Rank 2 – Razor – A/S-Tier

Who is Razor? Razor is a young man with a claymore and the Electro element. He was raised by wolves as an orphan and thus has animalistic instincts.

Why does he belong in 2nd place? Razor is by far the best 4-star DPS in the game. Generally, only 1 or 2 5-star characters can match him. His ultimate is particularly strong, summoning a spectral wolf that deals damage alongside him.

Additionally, the skill reloads so quickly that it can be used multiple times in a fight against tough bosses.

Rank 1 – Fischl – S-Tier

Who is Fischl? Fischl is a mysterious girl who travels the world with her raven named Oz. She wields a bow as a weapon and has strong Electro attacks. Therefore, it makes sense to play Fischl in a way that amplifies her elemental damage.

Why does she belong in 1st place? Fischl is a versatile character who can deal a lot of damage while also enabling combos with other characters and elements.

Her normal skill summons the raven Oz, who remains on the field even when you switch Fischl. In her ultimate skill, Fischl also deals a lot of Electro damage to multiple targets.

Overall, Fischl is therefore a strong character and rightfully belongs in the S-Tier.

Another strong and popular character is Venti. However, he has been removed from the wishes for the time being. This led to sorrow among the players.

Fortnite: Dance at the highest and lowest point on the map – Locations

Eilyn Rapp 22. October 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In week 9 of Season 4 – Chapter 2 in Fortnite: Battle Royale you should dance at the highest and lowest points. We will show you where these two are located.

What is the task? In week 9 of Season 4, you will be sent to the map, which has changed for Halloween and you are to dance at specific locations there. Since these are two unnamed locations, we will show you exactly where they are.

Locations on the map:

Highest and lowest point on the map – Here they are

We will show you here in detail which is the highest and which is the lowest point on the map of Season 4 – Chapter 2, so you know where to dance.

Highest point – Mount Kay

Where do you need to go? The highest point is also found on the largest mountain located on the Fortnite map. This is Mount Kay, which towers above all other buildings.

For this task, you must land at the top of the mountain and perform a dance there. If you would like to get a new broom, you can find one near Mount Kay.

Lowest point – Coral Castle

Where do you need to go? The lowest point can be found at Coral Castle. An “underwater castle” has been built there, which also caused Epic to be sued.

Since it is located “under” the water, it is also the lowest point that you can enter on the map. So fly to Coral Castle and dance there to complete this week 9 task.

If you would rather watch both locations in a video, you can do so here:

Once you have visited both points, the task will count as completed. As a reward, you will receive 25,000 experience points, which will help you level up the Battle Pass.

If you want to collect even more experience points for the Battle Pass, you should definitely complete the secret mission from Season 4 before it ends. You will be rewarded with some XP when you prevent the dwarves from blowing up the map.

FIFA 21: With these items you can currently earn a lot of coins in FUT

Julian Schröder 22. October 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, players can not only bring coins. Consumables can also be valuable. We show you which items you can surprisingly sell for a high price right now.

In almost all packs that are opened in Ultimate Team, in addition to player cards, there are also consumable items. And some of them can currently be sold for surprisingly many coins. While this won’t make you rich, you can definitely earn a few coins.

What are consumable items? In FIFA 21, there is a variety of consumable items. These include:

Contracts
Healing Items
Position Modifiers
Chemistry Styles
Manager Leagues

But new items related to the FUT stadium and the club (club items) can also be sold. These include jerseys, crests, celebrations, balls, goal songs, choreographies, and so on.

So, take a look at your club. It can really pay off.

These items you can currently sell for a high price

Which items bring the most coins? The items in FUT 21 that are currently worth the most coins can vary greatly. Here we show you the items that can currently (as of 22.10.) be sold for the highest prices on the FUT transfer market.

These are the PS4 prices.

These chemistry styles bring the most coins:

Hunter (approx. 1,800 coins)
Shadow (approx. 3,400 coins)
GK Basic (approx. 4,800 coins)

The remaining chemistry styles currently have a value of 200 to 400 coins.

These position modifiers bring the most coins:

LF -> LM (approx. 800 coins)
ZOM -> ZM (approx. 2,200 coins)
ZDM -> ZM (approx. 1,200 coins)
ZM -> ZDM (approx. 900 coins)
ST -> MS (approx. 900 coins)

These goal songs bring the most coins: The goal songs of real clubs are currently very sought after on the transfer market and therefore bring you between 4,000 and 5,000 coins. However, it is difficult to determine the exact current market value, as the songs cannot be searched for individually.

AC Milan (approx. 4,000 to 5,000 coins)
Borussia Dortmund (approx. 4,000 to 5,000 coins)
Inter Milan (approx. 4,000 to 5,000 coins)
Real Madrid (approx. 4,000 to 5,000 coins)

Other items you can sell for a high price: Popular and therefore expensive on the transfer market are these objects:

The celebration “Turn and Zoom” (approx. 5,000 coins)
Diverse coaches like Jürgen Klopp (approx. 2,000 coins) or Zinedine Zidane (approx. 4,000 coins)

In addition, the new Champions League player cards can be sold for significantly higher prices than the gold versions. This is because these cards are currently needed for SBCs and can only be obtained on the transfer market or in packs.

Have you discovered any other items that can be sold for a high price? Please let us know in the comments. And if you want to know how to get players cheaply on the transfer market, check out our sniping guide.

Dead by Daylight fails at the most important moment of the year

Cortyn 22. October 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Halloween and Dead by Daylight are actually a perfect pair. However, this year the developers have crash-landed the “event”.

Just yesterday we reported on the new skins that are now available in Dead by Daylight. They are part of the new Halloween collection, which is supposed to accompany the annual Halloween event in Dead by Daylight. Now the event is live and players are upset. For many, the event is a disappointment.

What is the problem? Players of Dead by Daylight have been used to being able to earn at least one of the new skins with an additional currency for years. However, this is not the case in 2020. All skins can only be purchased using real money or the known in-game currency. Farming enough bloodpoints takes several hundred hours of gameplay and has nothing to do with the Halloween event. So players are asked to pay.

What can you do new in the game? The innovations in the game are also minimal. While there are a few event add-ons for killers and survivors, they also disappoint. Survivors can modify their flashlight or give themselves a one-time speed boost, while killers can exchange their special ability for a short sprint. This allows you to use the killer’s ability Blight once. Above all, the killer add-on feels more like a bad joke. During the sprint, you cannot attack and after that the add-on is used up. Hardly anyone enjoys this – at least on the subreddit.

How it used to be: In previous years there was always an optional currency. Players could collect serum. Sometimes this was done by “milking” disgusting plants, sometimes by completing special challenges. There was enough serum so that at least every player could earn one of the cool Halloween sets without spending a cent. Those who wanted all sets had to pay, but at least everyone could get their personal favorite set for free.

Why does BHVR suck from r/deadbydaylight

Community pulling together: At least we have to give the developers credit for managing to – probably for the first time in the history of Dead by Daylight – bring all players onto one side. A look at the Dead by Daylight subreddit reveals how unpopular the patch and the event are. Both killers and survivors are complaining, and everyone agrees that Halloween 2020 is a disaster. Accordingly, many memes and criticisms are currently circulating on social media.

This is the first time I’ve seen this whole subreddit on the same page from r/deadbydaylight

And if you manage to unite the Dead by Daylight community, which usually tears each other apart, that is already an impressive achievement. Unfortunately, it is not something to be proud of.

Cortyn says: I absolutely cannot comprehend how the developers from Behaviour could crash this event so badly. Halloween should be the most important time of the year for a game based on horror and fright. Now, during the spooky season, new players could be excited and old players could be shown what the game does so well. Instead, there is an event that doesn’t even deserve the name, and no way to earn any of the sets like in previous years. I have little understanding for this, and my desire to play the game during this time has been stifled right from the start.

What do you think? Do you also find the development terrible? Or do you just play with one of the 21 killers and don’t care about it?

Twitch deletes thousands of clips, warns hundreds of streamers – They are angry and perplexed

Schuhmann 22. October 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

The streaming platform Twitch has deleted thousands of clips that violate copyright. Furthermore, streamers have been warned. This concerns the use of copyrighted music. Streamers now seem perplexed: they have to delete content that dates back years, and thus their life’s work.

This is the situation: Some streamers on Twitch have been using music in their videos for years: they let songs play in the background to create ambiance. They think nothing of it or at least not much.

This has always been against Twitch’s rules but remained without real consequence for a long time.

In June 2020, however, music publishers began to scour Twitch’s archives for such copyright violations. They then filed complaints with Twitch that streamers were using copyrighted music.

The music industry has apparently exerted pressure on Twitch: they should take these clips offline.

In June 2020, the drama about copyrights on Twitch began.

Twitch subsequently warned streamers and said they needed to clean up their archives. A tone was struck that put the streamers in panic: they felt threatened that Twitch would ban them for things they did years ago.

Some streamers then deleted all their clips: The German streamer and comedian Kaya Yanar was one of those who took down his clips and videos (via twitter). He said it had become “dangerous.”

Now in October 2020, the topic is boiling up again, as Twitch has deleted thousands of clips and warned hundreds of streamers.

Twitch is now giving streamers a specific date to clean up their channel: they only have until Friday to review all their material and delete content.

Streamers have only a few days to clean all videos

This was the warning: On October 20, Twitch sent a message to “hundreds of streamers”:

They found “one or more” copyright violations on the channel – and deleted the respective content
Twitch acknowledges that they give the streamer no opportunity to contest the deletion. They issue the streamers a one-time warning
Streamers should review all their clips and videos to see if there are further copyright violations. These clips should then be deleted
As of Friday, normal copyright violation rules apply again

As can be seen from tweets, many well-known streamers received this email, including LIRIK, Mongraal, Jack “CouRage” Dunlop, or CoD pro Scump.

The streamers appear insecure and perplexed.

LIRIK says: He has no idea what he should have done.

Because the tricky part is that Twitch is withholding from the streamers which clips have been deleted and which song it was exactly.

The email also does not mention what the consequences will be if streamers continue to have clips in their archives that violate copyrights.

This has created a situation where streamers appeared angry and perplexed.

This is the problem: Those who have been on Twitch longer have no overview of which clips and videos at some point had music playing. Therefore, streamers are now puzzled about what to do. They simply cannot comply with the request to “review their material” in this way.

Some streamers see only one option for themselves: they have to delete all videos and clips. In doing so, they are destroying their “life’s work” on Twitch.

As the streamer Ellohime points out, it will be difficult to use “In-game Music” in the future. Even that could be copyright protected.

“Delete everything” is the only safe way.

The streamer “TimTheTatman” speaks on Twitch about being perplexed. The solution would probably be to “Nuke it” – to delete everything. Otherwise, he doesn’t know what he should do now:

This is the criticism: The streaming expert, Devin Nash, criticizes Twitch’s approach. He says it is simply crazy. Twitch needs to provide a system that allows streamers to specifically find such videos that violate copyright.

Twitch’s solution now is that streamers must “delete their life’s work.” This is ignorant.

Just like many other streamers, “Teawrex” writes that he simply doesn’t understand why Twitch can’t manage to explain to people the rules that they’re supposedly breaking (via twitter).

Twitch allegedly deletes clips “without penalties for streamers”

This is what Twitch says: In a statement to the website Kotaku, a spokesperson for Twitch admits that they’ve received thousands of complaints from rights holders. These complaints must be addressed legally.

In an official statement on Twitter, it is further stated that Twitch is proud to have become such an important service for many artists. It is critical for Twitch to protect the rights of songwriters and partners in the music industry.

They want to continue to work on giving Twitch streamers the opportunity to collaborate with the music industry.

We are incredibly proud of the essential service Twitch has become for so many creators, including songwriters, artists and other music industry partners, during this challenging time. It is critical to us that their rights are respected.
— Twitch Support (@TwitchSupport) October 20, 2020

On Twitter, it is also said: In additional cases, Twitch wants to delete clips that violate copyright without punishing the streamers.

This is what it’s about: For years, the topic of “Copyright” on Twitch received too little attention. Streamers thought: The music is just playing, no one will mind. No one watches a streamer just to hear music. With the growing relevance of Twitch in 2020 came the rude awakening: Twitch received thousands of complaints about copyright violations.

Allegedly, large music publishers have now co-financed a company that screens streams for copyright violations in order to prevent them. At least that’s what lawyer Noah Downs said in a live stream.

Twitch apparently has no technical means to resolve the problem “cleanly” and is now passing the pressure on to the content creators.

As a result of the current wave of complaints, Twitch has apparently just deleted all clips that were subject to complaints without hearing from the creators or informing them exactly which clips were deleted.

The critical question in practice is: What can happen to Twitch streamers in the worst case if they have further such clips in their archives that are discovered by music detectives?

In June 2020, it was still thought that Twitch would impose bans for this, and people could lose their channels
However, according to Twitch’s new statement on Twitter, it seems like Twitch is simply deleting the clips itself and the streamer receives no “penalty”

The situation still appears unclear. This is currently unsettling for streamers.

In any case, it is bitter that several streamers here delete their “archives” from Twitch and thousands of clips and videos disappear from the internet forever.

GladdX Twitch.v1 — The action unsettled and angered several streamers, such as GladdX, already last summer.

In June 2020, the topic of “Copyright” on Twitch caused a short panic. At that time, streamers even received multiple warnings. At that time, some feared for their Twitch accounts and thus for their number one source of income:

Copyright strikes cause panic – streamers delete clips out of fear of a ban

Phasmophobia Guide: Here are what the different items can do

Alexander Leitsch 22. October 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

Phasmophobia is a horror co-op game on Steam and is very popular. We at MeinMMO will tell you what the various items can do that help you identify the ghosts.

How does Phasmophobia work? In the horror game, you take on the role of a ghost hunter and embark on an adventure with up to 3 other players. Phasmophobia is well-received on Steam primarily due to its atmosphere.

You start in a van and receive some information about the mission, as well as secondary objectives. Your task is to identify the ghost in a house. There are various items for this purpose.

What items are there? In Phasmophobia, there are numerous items, some of which are available at the start, while others can only be unlocked by you over time.

Flashlight and a stronger flashlight
EMF Reader
Thermometer
Spirit Box
A photo and a video camera
Ghost Writing Book
UV Light / Glowstick
Motion Sensor
Cross
Lighter and candle or matches
Glow Stick
Pills for mental health

However, since the game currently offers a rather mediocre tutorial, we will introduce the items in more detail and categorize them into two categories: items for identifying ghosts and items for survival.

[toc]

Items to Identify Ghosts

To determine the type of ghost, you need to learn more about its identity. You need to figure out what kind of ghost it is (e.g., a Poltergeist) and what it has done in the past.

You can carry up to 3 items at the same time. Some of these items fall under the “starter items” and are available right from the start of the round, including the flashlight, EMF Reader, or cameras.

Flashlights

Useful for: Lighting up the environment, as the houses are usually very dark.
Provides proof: None

In the game, there are two different flashlights: the standard version and an improved one that illuminates a larger area. Flashlights are important and should always have a place in your inventory.

EMF Reader

Useful for: Measuring electromagnetic fields and thus locating the ghost
Provides the following proof: From level 5 it provides an entry

The EMF Reader is also an essential tool. You activate it by using the right mouse button and then sweep through the house. A high EMF value just means there are paranormal activities. However, from level 5 it counts as proof that you can record in your journal.

Thermometer

Useful for: Finding the ghost
Provides proof: Cold temperatures

The thermometer is not part of the standard equipment and must be purchased separately. However, we highly recommend it. If the temperatures in a room drop below 10 degrees, you have a good chance of having a ghost nearby. If the temperature even drops below freezing, you have found proof.

However, you can theoretically also recognize the low temperature by your breath. The thermometer makes it easier and more accurate.

Spirit Box

Useful for: Communication with the ghost
Provides proof: Spirit Box

The Spirit Box is one of the most interesting tools in the game. You place it in a room, turn off the light, and try to talk to the ghost. You use your microphone for this and ideally speak in English, even though the ghost may understand German in some situations.

You can ask several questions. Here is a small selection:

Open a door.
Turn on the light.
Are there any ghosts?
Give us a sign.
Show us.
Can you speak?
Make a noise.
Would you like to talk?
Are you happy?
Are you male or female?
Do you want us to leave?
Can you make a sound?
Show us your presence.
Make a sound.
Throw something.
Talk to us.
We are friends.

The ghost can respond by speaking or performing an action. A conversation counts as proof, an action does not. However, it shows that the ghost is nearby.

Furthermore, ghosts can kill you if you insult them.

If the ghost does not respond, it may not be willing to talk to you, which some ghosts actually do not, or you are not alone or it is too noisy in the house.

Video Camera

Useful for: Filming paranormal activities
Provides proof: Ghost Orb

The video camera is especially worthwhile when you have already identified the room where the ghost is located. Then you leave one of the other items in your van and take the camera with you. Position it so that it captures as much of the room as possible. Also, remember to activate the camera before returning to the van. The green light means it is recording, the red means it is in standby mode.

Ghost Writing Book

Useful for: Communication with the ghost
Provides proof: Ghostwriting

Like the video camera, the book is only worthwhile when you have identified the room with the ghost. Place the book in the middle of the room and wait for the ghost to write in it. It is best to combine the book with the video camera and sit in the van to observe the activities.

UV Light / Glowstick

Useful for: Finding fingerprints
Provides proof: Fingerprints

The UV light becomes really interesting later in the game and can initially be left in the van. At the beginning, there are rarely fingerprints to find. However, the more paranormal activities take place, the more useful the item becomes. Fingerprints are usually found on light switches, doors, or windows.

The glowstick works on exactly the same principle.

Camera

Useful for: Photographing the ghost and completing side missions
Provides proof: None

The camera does not provide any proof but is useful for many side missions. For example, you may be tasked with taking a photo of the ghost.

Items That Can Ensure Your Survival

In addition to the aforementioned items to successfully complete the mission, there are also items that can ensure your survival. The more paranormal activities take place, the more “sanity” or mental health you lose.

Moreover, ghosts can attack and kill you. You can partially protect yourself from this.

Cross

Useful for: Survival
Provides proof: None

A cross can be used against a ghost to protect yourself from death. To do this, you lay it on the ground beforehand. If the ghost walks over it, it disappears; however, the radius for this is quite small.

Crosses are more effective against certain types of ghosts than others. Moreover, really aggressive ghosts that are already hunting you will not be impressed by it.

Recommended editorial content

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

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

Lighter and matches/candles

Useful for: Light, side missions, and survival
Provides proof: None

Lighters can be used to light matches and candles. You can either do it yourself or have another player light them with a lighter.

Since flashlights start to flicker with high ghost activity, these items are useful to ensure there is still light. Moreover, you can throw them to temporarily protect yourself from the ghost. Lastly, they are needed for some side missions.

Motion Sensor

Useful for: Side missions
Provides proof: None

The motion sensor is mainly part of side missions and is supposed to capture the movements of the ghost. However, it does not provide proof and is useful only when the room has already been located.

Sanity Pills

Useful for: Maintaining sanity
Provides proof: None

During a round of Phasmophobia, your “sanity level” decreases due to ghost activities. At 30-40 percent sanity, you start to see strange things, like flickering lights or shadows. Additionally, the likelihood of the ghost attacking you increases. At 0% sanity, the risk is extremely high that the ghost will hunt and kill you.

The pills, in turn, ensure that the percentage increases again.

As if Phasmophobia itself weren’t scary enough, hackers have found a way to terrorize players and streamers with jump scares.

One Tamriel was the greatest turning point for ESO, which is why it led to Fallout 76

Benedict Grothaus 22. October 2020 Reading time 6 minutes

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has excited many players with the “One Tamriel” update. The developers of Fallout 76 then adopted this idea after several discussions and an active exchange, as chief Jeff Gardiner tells MeinMMO in an interview.

The “One Wasteland” update has shaken up Fallout 76, brought numerous innovations, and completely changed the familiar leveling system. Many players had to get used to what it is like to play Fallout.

However, such a change was apparently planned. On the occasion of this major update and the upcoming “Steel Dawn,” Project Lead Jeff Gardiner and Lead Quest Designer Brianna Schneider answered our questions.

Jeff Gardiner is the Project Lead of Fallout 76 and talked to us about the current state and the future of the game. He previously worked on Fallout 3 and was the Lead Producer of Fallout 4. He also contributed in a leading role to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. He has been employed at Bethesda for over 15 years.

We specifically asked whether the already very similarly named “One Tamriel” update from ESO had been a model. After all, this has changed the MMORPG just as significantly. And ultimately, the studios behind Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online are sister studios.

Jeff Gardiner reveals to us: Yes, One Tamriel was a model. And moreover, One Wasteland is a tribute to the work of the MMORPG makers. But how exactly can one imagine this?

What is One Wasteland at all? The update was released on September 15 as the autumn update of Fallout 76 and brought about:

dynamically leveled enemies
legendary skills to make players even stronger
daily operations, a kind of dungeon system for single players and groups

One Wasteland aims to make Fallout 76 more attractive for new players while simultaneously being interesting for veterans. It should ensure that everyone can play in their own way and still have fun while promoting the game in groups.

One Tamriel is the model for One Wasteland

What is One Tamriel? The major update was released in 2016 for the MMORPG and is considered a major breakthrough for ESO. One of the biggest adjustments was that enemies adapt dynamically to the players’ levels.

This keeps the content relevant and the game becomes easier for beginners and better for groups. After all, now almost anyone can play with anyone, regardless of their level, and everyone still contributes to the success.

In the review of One Tamriel on MeinMMO, ESO expert Jürgen Horn even claims that this update has more MMO elements than ever before.

Jeff Gardiner also confirms this to us in the interview. He says:

We adopted the idea for One Wasteland from One Tamriel because the team there repeatedly says it was the biggest turning point. They adjusted the game so you can play virtually anywhere. It changed much about player behavior and mechanics, and the players really liked it.
The game became more successful from that point on.
Jeff Gardiner in an interview with MeinMMO.

Why was One Tamriel so important? Before the update, ESO was still overshadowed by other games like Star Wars: The Old Republic. Players criticized that while it looked like an Elder Scrolls game, it did not play that way.

Only with One Tamriel did this change. The dynamic levels created more of the “Elder Scrolls” feeling: players became adventurers again who could explore the world without being strictly limited by levels. At least to a certain extent, the hardest content is still reserved for the toughest players.

ESO even attracted new players in this way, who could play directly with their friends after creating a character, who were already further along. The MMORPG became more friendly for groups while simultaneously being more enjoyable for solo players – Just as one imagines an Elder Scrolls game, only online in multiplayer.

What does this have to do with One Wasteland? The One Wasteland update has adopted the same system with dynamic levels as one of its innovations. Enemies adapt to the players’ levels, and everyone can contribute to completing events and defeating bosses.

This promotes both group play and the opportunity to invite friends. Because they no longer just get “carried through,” but can also earn their share of the reward properly.

We asked in more detail and wanted to know what the thoughts behind One Wasteland were. What led to the decision to create One Wasteland?

“One Wasteland as a tribute to ESO“

This is what the chief says: Gardiner explains that this level design was actually planned for the release of Fallout 76. However, there were difficulties at that time, which is why another system was adopted, where a player determines the levels of enemies upon entering a zone, even for players who arrive after him.

This was supposed to change with One Wasteland. There were already preparatory changes, such as public teams. Gardiner says:

The goal was for players to be able to play together, especially at events. Over the past year, we tried several things to bring the community together. We introduced light [public] teams that allow them to form groups quickly and provide bonuses when you are in a group.
Events were adjusted and are continually being adjusted to be more player-friendly. And we wanted to ensure that everyone can participate in events, especially seasonal events. Everyone should feel like they earned their share of the reward and have more fun at the event.
Jeff Gardiner in an interview with MeinMMO.

This corresponds exactly to the idea that the developers of ESO already pursued with One Tamriel. “That’s why we called it One Wasteland,” explains Gardiner. “As a tribute to them.”

This is how the collaboration went: In fact, it sounds like the creators of ESO not only provided the template but even helped create One Wasteland. At least with ideas.

Gardiner emphasizes in the conversation: “Our developers and theirs spoke and exchanged ideas on how to do this. It was a fascinating process and really a great collaboration with one of our sister studios.”

However, the developers of Fallout 76 did not simply adopt what helped ESO. One Wasteland offers several new features that fit the Fallout universe perfectly – such as legendary perks that make your characters even stronger.

More on the topic

Fallout 76 now brings what ESO saved – Is “One Wasteland” worth it?

von Benedict Grothaus

What does the future of Fallout 76 look like?

The developers are putting a lot of work into the project. So far, One Wasteland is the foundation for helping Fallout 76 achieve the success that the game lacked at launch. The franchise has much to offer, a deep story, and holds opportunities to explore the history of a beloved game series in depth.

Gardiner mentioned in the interview that the lessons the team learned from One Wasteland will serve as a tool for the future. It should become easier to bring better content to players more quickly and easily.

I think that One Wasteland can become a similar turning point for Fallout 76 as One Tamriel was for ESO. The ambitions of the developers clearly speak for that.

The entire interview: In the conversation, Gardiner and Schneider reveal to us what One Wasteland means for Fallout 76 and what changes will occur with Steel Dawn in winter 2020. They also chat a bit about the development in 2021 and 2022.

There, I speak with Jeff Gardiner and Brianna Schneider about the gameplay changes of One Wasteland and Steel Dawn and what they mean for the players. Here you can find the complete interview.

The Bombs Drop Day: Currently, everything in Fallout 76 revolves around the Bombs Drop Day, which is celebrated on October 23. This is the day when the bombs fell and everything began for Fallout. On the occasion of the holiday, there is a Free2Play week and numerous reasons why you should take a look at Fallout 76 (again).

WoW: The hate for the new cash shop set is really inappropriate

Cortyn 22. October 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

Around WoW there is currently a lot of criticism regarding a set in the cash shop. Cortyn from MeinMMO finds it hard to understand.

Barely a week after the launch of Patch 9.0 the joy over the new character customizations in World of Warcraft has faded. Instead, a new wave of anger is currently rolling through the official forums and the WoW subreddit. The point of contention is the new transmogrification set Grimmlingflitzerflügel, which has been available for purchase in the shop for a few days.

Extremely poor reviews: The video with the announcement has sparked significantly negative reactions. With only around 2,600 positive ratings and over 19,000 thumbs down, the opinion is clear. Even with the German version of the video, it is rather negative, with 200 positive responses and over 500 thumbs down (as of: 22.10., 12:30 PM).

I don’t want to blindly rush in and take “Blizzard’s side”, but I still think that some of the criticisms raised are quite silly or ill-considered.

Shadowlands delayed to make more money?

Time and again, one reads, often with a distinctly sarcastic undertone: “Oh, that’s why Shadowlands was delayed, so they can make a little more money” or “Shadowlands is not finished, but you have time for such a set?”

At first glance, that may seem like a valid criticism, but with a little thought, it falls apart. The developers responsible for the art and visual design are basically done with their work regarding Shadowlands. The game as such is complete. The beta has been extended to fine-tune the endgame content. So those designing sets have very little to do.

Let’s help Blizz fund Shadowlands. from r/wow

However, the second point is much more important: The set has been in the game for almost a year. The items were not just added with Patch 9.0. The Grimmlingflitzer set was already found in the game data in Patch 8.2.5 and Patch 8.3. So it is not something new that Blizzard has just “spontaneously inserted”. The set has existed as such.

What was the set intended for? There are also some indications that the set was never meant to be released in the shop. Although there is no concrete evidence, there are some good considerations. The most likely one is that Blizzard had planned the set as a bonus for the virtual ticket. Because originally, they were supposed to hold a BlizzCon 2020, which is canceled due to the ongoing Corona situation. Instead, there will be a BlizzConline in February.

At least traditionally, that would fit, as last year there was a cosmetic set that looked rather “silly”.

A second option could be that the set was intended for a questline that never made it into the game. Because in Patch 8.2.5, there was a – not fully implemented – questline about a murder mystery in the Druid Grove. That would at least fit visually, as the questline also involved Sparkles – a well-known faerie dragon.

However, it is also possible that the questline, along with the set, was intended for another promo event.

The fact that the set was actually planned for something other than the cash shop is also suggested by the style of the announcement video. Because it seems rather hurriedly put together at the last minute and does not match the quality that Blizzard usually presents for such items in the shop. A few dancing characters are indeed the minimal effort.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the set was meant for the shop from the very beginning. We simply do not know and will probably not find out so soon.

“Such silly things ruin the beautiful game!”

Another point that is often mentioned goes something like this: “This does not fit into World of Warcraft at all, this game is ruined by such things.” What is meant by this is that such rather “silly” armor pieces are a problem as they make the game world less appropriate and distract from the seriousness of the respective situation – such as the threat posed by Shadowlands.

Here too, I have to ask: Really? Have you ever looked around in World of Warcraft with open eyes? I have at least 50 different items in my toy collection that can transform me into some nonsense. From other characters, to huge murloc eggs, to a night elf guardian or a naked mermaid from the shell, everything is really included. If I want, I can even take on the appearance of my battle pets or walk through the game world as a giant tree.

Currently, the Hallow’s End event is also running, where everyone is running around as a zombie, banshee, or leper gnome anyway. Or is that just silliness that we have gotten used to? If yes: Then we will also survive the faerie dragon set.

Less complaining or drawing consequences

I personally find the set quite funny and will definitely wear it on some occasions – simply because it will surely contribute to the entertainment in Discord among friends.

What criticisms remain? In the end, there is of course also justified criticism. That such an elaborate set is only available through a subscription or the direct spending of money is unfortunate. This is especially true since it is the first set that has earlobes for elves and other races. They do not just clip through the hat but look really good on these races. Other sets in the game do not have that, and that is a shame.

This. THIS is what makes this feel so bad. from r/wow

The “longstanding” criticism remains in place. WoW is after all a game with purchase costs for each new expansion and a subscription model. Some find that this alone is reason enough not to have a cash shop in the game. Anyone who pays monthly for a game should be able to access all content.

At least I can understand this last point well. But it must also be said that the shop has been a fixed part of the game since Mists of Pandaria. Why one is still so upset about this, over 8 years later, as if this were something entirely new is baffling to me. Especially since the set is “free” anyway if you are a loyal WoW player with a perpetual subscription.

Perhaps it’s time to draw consequences and simply stop playing WoW. Because the practice of having an in-game shop is unlikely to change – neither in World of Warcraft nor in other MMORPGs.

In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves how they feel about such items in the shop or as a bonus for loyal subscribers. Yet all the hate the development team is currently receiving for this, I find simply silly.

Destiny 2: “Damn YouTubers are to blame for me not being able to cheat anymore”

Philipp Hansen 22. October 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, cheating has become much harder now. The cheaters are not happy about this. They are complaining and providing curious justifications, but this results in a lot of laughs.

Why are the cheaters angry? Recently, Destiny developers Bungie took legal action against a major cheat seller. This is a provider of cheating software that sells things like aim bots, wallhacks, and other unfair advantages. These cheats have plagued the PvP for quite some time.

The seller “Perfect Aim” then informed its customers that they were very sorry, but cheat support for Destiny 2 had to be discontinued due to legal demands. Even though they weren’t sure if they were actually violating any licenses or other conditions.

More on that can be found here on MeinMMO:

Players of Destiny 2 mock salty, angry cheaters

Some of the, well, not-so-fair Destiny players didn’t blame Bungie or justice for the ban. No, they blame the nasty YouTubers and streamers.

These YouTubers are always complaining in their videos that they can’t sweat properly in the Trials.

Now, a few of the mentioned YouTubers have made a joke by reading the comments of the annoyed cheaters on Twitter or in the forums of the cheat providers.

Among them are the generic comments you would expect – things like:

Will I get my money back?
Can I still use my cheats?
Are there new cheats for Beyond Light?
Where can I buy cheats now?

These are the funniest comments: Content creators like Aztecross and Fallout (in the thumbnail) are also digging through much funnier contributions from cheaters:

It’s actually sad that Bungie is going against a site [Perfect Aim] that has helped so many people get better at the game. I even enjoyed the cheats and got better at the game.

In response to the question of why people even use cheats, there were also answers – even if there is probably some self-irony involved:

I cheat to compensate for my inevitable virginity.

Some users are now threatening honest players, saying they will go all out one last time and make their lives in PvP hell out of revenge.

Other cheaters are truly retaliating against Bungie:

Just canceled my pre-order for Beyond Light, fuck it, it was a fun time lmao.

YouTuber DFP (Destiny Fun Police) stated on Twitter that Bungie should now “target the other providers that the Perfect Aim weasels are now all running to. Sue them all.” He received this reply on Twitter: “Sue people for playing games the way they want instead of soft banning them?” DFP activates his detective skills and states: “Cheater found.”

This is how Bungie responds: Destiny developer Bungie is keeping a low profile despite the success. However, Community Manager Dylan “dmg04” Gaffner stated (via Twitter): “The fight against cheaters never ends.”

A user points out that many players will soon have no reason to complain. After all, Perfect Aim has been defeated and soon the meta will be nerfed. In response, the legendary (still) Bungie employee David “DeeJ” Dague dryly replied:

Deej says: “That has never happened.”

Are you also enjoying the salty tears of cheaters? Do you see it like the above-mentioned PvP pro Aztecross? He claims that Perfect Aim was the largest cheat seller for Destiny 2 and that 90% of the hacks came from there. Therefore, the game should soon be a safe place.

Or do you think that such scenes will always occur: Destiny 2: This cheater curses you to death in PvP

Activision explains: These 3 things make Call of Duty Mobile so successful

Sven Galitzki 22. October 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

Call of Duty: Mobile is a great success. But what makes the mobile shooter so successful? What accounts for this success? Shooter expert Sven Galitzki from MeinMMO spoke in an interview with the Vice President of Mobile at Activision and asked about the 3 biggest success factors.

This is the state of CoD Mobile: The mobile shooter Call of Duty: Mobile is a great success – financially and in terms of player numbers as well as its ratings. Currently, the one-year anniversary is being celebrated as part of the now 11th season.

At launch nearly a year ago, it was the most successful mobile game of all time. And this success continues to this day. Ratings in the respective stores are still strong. As of October 2020, CoD Mobile has now exceeded 300 million downloads. In Activision’s quarterly reports, success has been repeatedly mentioned for Call of Duty: Mobile since its release.

MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn also states: CoD Mobile is the first Call of Duty that I actually enjoy

But what really drives so many players to play Call of Duty for pocket devices? What makes this mobile shooter so successful? MeinMMO directly asked Activision.

What makes CoD Mobile so successful? Here are the 3 most important factors

Activision in the interview – who is speaking? I recently had the opportunity to speak with Chris Plummer – the Vice President of Mobile at Activision. Together we chatted a bit about the current state of Call of Duty: Mobile, the first birthday, the new season, and the ongoing success of the mobile shooter.

During the interview, I explicitly asked which 3 factors are the most important for CoD Mobile’s success in Plummer’s eyes. He extensively outlined his top 3 success factors.

Authenticity: According to Chris Plummer, authenticity and the unmistakable CoD feeling play a major role in the success of CoD Mobile. He stated to MeinMMO:

“For players – whether they are fans of the franchise or have just heard of it – there is a kind of universal appreciation for authenticity in CoD Mobile. It simply contains the right stuff, the right maps, the right characters… It feels like a Call of Duty.”

And that’s something no other mobile game offers: “That is primarily the most important thing. And that is very hard to achieve. It gives us an advantage because no one else can do that.”

Controls: Plummer also counts the controls of Call of Duty: Mobile among the important factors for success:

“I think the controls are in second place. While one could say that this is a part of an authentic CoD experience, on mobile devices it is something entirely different.”

Activision also found this to be new territory, they had to realign themselves. However, that evidently worked: “No one had played Call of Duty in this way before, and we had to figure out what that even means. When you talk to people who have played competing products or other games in this area [mobile] that offer a comparable level of intensity and action – even other genres – you hear that Call of Duty: Mobile has a very successful control scheme. And we are very proud of it.”

Then Plummer emphasizes again how crucial this aspect is for success – even with the order, he is not sure: “This is one of the key aspects through which every ‘Call of Duty’ title is fun to play – how it feels in your hands, how the weapons feel when you fire them, how the feedback from the controls feels. It is also hard for me to say which comes first and which comes second in terms of importance. But these [authenticity and controls] are definitely two huge success factors.”

Live Service: As a third point, many might have suspected the strong graphics of CoD Mobile, but Plummer names a different important aspect:

“Third, and this may not be the expected response, is the way the game is supported. Week after week, month after month. It is one thing to offer this authenticity and good controls. You might say: ‘Hey, this is really Call of Duty, wow.’ And then that feeling eventually fades and it becomes dull. That is not what we want. We want it to remain fresh and exciting. So that every time you fire up the game, something new awaits you.”

Here is a look at the content of Season 11

Here, in Plummer’s eyes, they have really delivered and already have a lot to show: “If you look at what the team has delivered month after month – and the game is now a year old: We have gone from 11 to 23 multiplayer maps, instead of one we now have 27 multiplayer modes, from 200 weapons we now have over 1,400.”

In this regard, they are decisively ahead of the competition: “In my opinion, we deliver more exciting content month after month than any other (mobile) game out there. I find it hard to even find a genre that brings out new content at this rhythm every month. And you don’t even have to spend a cent for it. There are new maps, new modes, a free battle pass that you can play through. We do have premium content, but all of that is purely cosmetic, purely optional.”

In short: “If you have any interest in this genre at all, you jump into the game, get a feel for it, and then realize: there is always new content, new events, new characters (now over 180), new weapons – that also makes a big part of the success. These content drops are possible because we manage the game well.”

Plummer’s conclusion: Finally, the VP of Mobile summarizes: “So it’s the authenticity, the controls, and the live content – those are the 3 biggest success factors. There are many more things I could talk about and we are also proud of, such as the graphics. But if you ask me about the top 3, these are definitely the ones.”

By the way, if you actively play Call of Duty Mobile or want to try it out: 5 settings you absolutely must activate in CoD Mobile

6 highly announced MMOs that will probably never be released

Andreas Bertits 22. October 2020 Reading time 8 minutes

New MMOs are often announced with great fanfare, piquing interest in learning more about them. However, as time goes by, updates become sparse. We present to you six such online games that are unlikely to ever be released.

You know the situation: A really cool MMO gets announced, it looks amazing, but suddenly there’s no more news, and you get the impression that it will never be released.

This is the case with this selection of online games that we present due to their grand announcements and the ever-sparser updates.

The article was updated on October 22, 2020. New information regarding Chronicles of Elyria has been added.

Age of Wushu 2

Genre: Sandbox MMORPG | Developer: Snail Games | Platform: PC | Release Date: None officially announced | Model: Unknown

What is Age of Wushu 2? The sequel to one of the most well-known Wuxia MMORPGs is this time focused on survival. However, do not think of games like ARK or Conan Exiles. Survival in Age of Wushu 2 means successfully navigating your own path and mastering it without failing.

In doing so, you will explore a vast open sandbox world, learn martial arts, fight against other players, and improve your hero. The battles are said to rely heavily on combos and therefore resemble the beat ’em up Street Fighter.

How has the development progressed so far? In summer 2016, Snail Games announced Age of Wushu 2. While a release date wasn’t specified, the pre-registration for the beta in 2017 hinted at a release in 2018 or 2019.

The developers also shared a number of details in 2017 regarding the large game world and the combat system, but suddenly news regarding the MMORPG ceased.

Why might the release never happen? There have been no new updates about the game since 2017. This is quite strange. No gameplay footage has been shown either. Has development been halted? Were there significant changes to the gameplay? What is happening? All of these questions do not bode well for a potential release of Age of Wushu 2.

Stream Snipers ruin charity event in CoD Warzone – and DrDisrespect loses it

Noah Struthoff 22. October 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The streamer DrDisrespect participated in a charity event around Call of Duty: Warzone. However, he lost his composure when a nasty viewer tracked him down on the map.

This was the situation: The charity event “Cracked Creators” by David “Hitch” Edwards was for $10,000, and numerous content creators and professionals from the CoD scene, who are among the top earners there, were present.

Among them were also DrDisrespect and his partner ZLaner. However, they didn’t have a good day and couldn’t win a round. The reason: They were often terrorized by stream-snipers, who were only out to eliminate the two players.

DrDisrespect expresses his anger on Twitter

This is how the stream-snipers disturbed: DrDisrespect streamed the entire tournament live. Viewers watched closely and then entered a new lobby together with the streamer. Some got lucky and were placed in the same lobby as DrDisrespect.

They then closely monitored where DrDisrespect was during the stream and literally hunted the streamer. There was hardly a round where this was not the case.

Already in the early rounds, they encountered such a stream-sniper who had eliminated DrDisrespect. The streamer reacted and said: “I will never again participate in a Warzone tournament without delay, never.”

In the end, DrDisrespect sounded really desperate: “That’s it for me today. I literally lose brain cells. […] The tournament completely took me out of the game. Lesson learned. I didn’t think it would be such a big problem… but it is a terribly big problem.”

This is what the streamer wrote on Twitter: After the tournament, DrDisrespect also took to Twitter to vent against the stream-snipers.

He described this type of gamer with some insults and summarized: “Nothing is worse than being chased by a bunch of wannabe gamers during a charity tournament while streaming.”

DrDisrespect was not alone: Not only DrDisrespect was chased by stream-snipers. Alongside him, Jack “CouRage” Dunlop was also affected. He later wrote on Twitter: “I am officially withdrawing from Warzone tournaments.”

The tournament was not the first time stream-snipers caused trouble in the Warzone. Other streamers have already been affected by such nasty players:
