The outcry of the Hearthstone players has helped. Blizzard has promised to change and improve some of the problem skins.
What was the problem? The “Student Jaina” skin was sold for a short time as part of a special bundle. This was when her “Book of Heroes” was released, in which players could experience her backstory.
However, the skin did not meet what the players expected. New skins usually come with their own animations, emotes, and special voice lines. However, Student Jaina had none of this. As some players cynically point out, she was actually just an expensive GIF animation.
What will change now? In a forum post, Blizzard explained that the Jaina skin will be revised. It will, as expected, be provided with its own voice lines. This applies to both:
the greeting lines
the emotes
some special lines when playing special cards
The Jaina pack was not well received by everyone.
Does this affect other heroes as well? Yes. The latest Uther skin for the Hallow’s End event was also rather disappointing for fans. This skin will also be given unique voice lines.
The same applies to all hero skins that are to be released through the “Book of Heroes” over the course of the coming year. They will all be retrofitted with their own lines to ensure they are of the same quality as other premium skins in Hearthstone.
There is currently no specific timeframe for the change. However, they want to do it as soon as possible, once enough time has passed to record the voiceovers with the corresponding voice actors.
So it was worth the “complaining” this time. Another example that one should never give up. Although there are now criticisms that Blizzard should offer Jaina again in the shop. Because if one had known that she would be getting her own voice lines, then they might have considered the offer…
Do you think Blizzard’s concession here is good and sensible? How do you like the Jaina skin so far?

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (MHW) has received its last title update. With it came Fatalis and its armor, which can be considered a real game-changer.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne brought its 5th and final title update on October 1st. Among them were again some new features, such as a time-limited event with the battle-hardened Velkhana.
Additionally, all Master Rank armors are now available as decorations, allowing you to focus even more on style-hunting. However, the most brutal achievement is the armor you can obtain from the new dragon Fatalis.
You must defeat this comrade for the armor
Fatalis brings a grand finale
The final update brings the powerful dragon Fatalis to the ranks of monsters in Iceborne. However, first you will meet an old acquaintance – Alatreon. You must defeat him, but fortunately the battle is somewhat easier than it usually is.
Once you have defeated him, more cutscenes will follow that provide goosebumps and evoke beautiful memories of the early days. However, we don’t want to reveal too much at this point. Ultimately, you will have to defeat Fatalis.
The fight against Fatalis: As expected, Fatalis will bombard you with dangerous fire attacks. In addition, his speed means you must also be wary of his tail and claws.
When Fatalis flies, you can shoot at him with a cannon that resembles a machine gun. You also have a dragon spear at your disposal. When the dragon initiates its massive flame attack, you need to leave a gate open and take cover behind it. More about the fight and an initial assessment of the difficulty can be seen in Rurikhan’s video:

Otherwise, you can mount Fatalis by using your clutch claw and then beat him up. Your claw has also gained strength thanks to title update 5. You can now wound him more easily and longer, depending on your weapon.
Once you have defeated the dragon, you can look at the almost ridiculously powerful reward.
The Fatalis armor with nearly limitless flexibility
Here are the skills: As you are used to, you can unlock a new armor set with Fatalis. It comes again in an Alpha and a Beta version, with the former having more skills and the latter having more slots for decorations. The armor bonuses are as follows:
Fatalis α +:
Critical Eye 3x
Crafting 5x
Stun Resistance 3x
Blocking 3x
Weakness Exploit 3x
Invulnerability 3x
Fatalis β +:
Critical Eye 2x
Stun Resistance 3x
Weakness Exploit 2x
Invulnerability 2x
Aside from the skills, the Fatalis armors also look really cool
This is how the set bonuses work: The most powerful aspect is probably not the skills themselves, but the set bonuses that activate when you wear two or four pieces:
2 pieces – Removes the cap from all skill secrets.
4 pieces – Grants Sharpness/Extra Shot. Additionally, 100 Health and Stamina in every fight and after KO.
With two Fatalis pieces, you can unlock the secrets of each skill earlier and equip them at higher levels without being bound by the respective number of set pieces. This gives you unprecedented flexibility in selecting your skills.
With four pieces, depending on your weapon, your sharpness loss is reduced or you save ammunition and coatings. The 100 Health and Stamina also eliminate the need for buff food like Mega Potions or rations.
Here is how it works with the decorations: The factor that gives you the most flexibility is likely the many slots. Each piece of Fatalis β + has three slots for level 4 jewels.
That makes a total of 15 slots for the largest decorations. You can of course also fill them with smaller ones and have free choice from your collection. You can see more about the individual set pieces in Arekkz Gaming’s video:

Should everyone now have the armor? This doesn’t mean that in the future everyone will have to walk around with 5 pieces of Fatalis. Especially since the big set bonus is already available with 4 pieces. But the armor makes you incredibly flexible and opens up new avenues for your sets.
You can manage with two pieces and mix the various skill secrets as you wish. Or you take all pieces and fill them with your favorite decorations as you please.
Thus, Monster Hunter World concludes with a grand finale. However, there is even more in the update, on October 16th, a Halloween event will even come our way. This lures with even more decorative armors in which you can immediately enshroud your new Fatalis equipment.

FIFA 21 is the latest installment of the classic soccer series. The official release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC is just around the corner. Here are some things you should know before buying.
When is the release? The official release of FIFA 21 is on October 9, but there is also the possibility of starting earlier. The exact dates are outlined below. Additionally, this article answers the following questions:
What does FIFA 21 include?
What multiplayer options are there?
How do the different editions differ?
What happens after the release of FIFA 21?
[toc]
1. What does FIFA 21 include?
This is FIFA 21: For years, the FIFA series has delivered exciting soccer matches on the pitch. Whether alone or with friends at home, online or offline: the various modes of the game offer many opportunities to unleash your soccer skills. There have also been adjustments to the gameplay, which introduces some new features.

This year, there isn’t a new mode per se, but old modes have been partially revamped. There are plenty of innovations in FIFA 21. Here is an overview of the most important modes:
Kick-off mode: The simplest game mode. Here you can jump directly into matches with a team of your choice, against the AI or locally against friends. Fun modes like “Surprise Ball” or “No Rules” are also available here.
Ultimate Team: Here you can build your dream team and compete online against other players. Ultimate Team is the most important competitive mode in FIFA 21, with Division Rivals and Weekend League. This year, some innovations in FUT are present. This includes the ability to play online in co-op and build your own stadium.
Career mode: The career mode is arguably the most important offline mode. Here, you take over a club of your choice and lead it to the top of the soccer world over several in-game years. This involves developing talents, completing transfers, and planning the club’s daily operations. The career also has some innovations to offer: Here is our test of the career mode on MeinMMO.
VOLTA: Volta was newly introduced with FIFA 20 and shifts soccer back to the streets. Here you play on small fields, in backyards, or in special Volta stadiums with small teams. Last year, the mode struggled, but thanks to some innovations like the co-op feature Volta could be more exciting this year.
Pro Clubs: In Pro Clubs, you can team up online with your friends and create a club. You fill it with your own Virtual Pros – matches of up to 11 vs. 11 players are possible here. However, you can also start with fewer players, with the rest being controlled by the AI. Pro Clubs also received some innovations, which are supposed to improve the mode in FIFA 21.
2. When is the release of FIFA 21 and is there a demo?
Differences by version: The official release of FIFA 21 is on October 9, 2020. However, this only applies to the Standard edition. Depending on the edition, there are different start dates that will let you play FIFA 21 earlier.
The Champions Edition starts on October 6 with 3 days of early access.
For EA Play members, early access began on October 1, but is limited to 10 hours. Exception: EA Play Pro members can play unlimited from this date.
What about the demo? This year there is no demo for FIFA 21. The EA Play early access is thus the only way to get a glimpse of the game before October 6. Previously, there was a closed beta phase, which however led to changes in the game.
3. What about FIFA 21 for Xbox Series X and PS5?
This is how it looks on next-gen: FIFA 21 will also be released on next-gen consoles, but there is no official date for that yet. So far, EA Sports has always spoken of a release “sometime this year”.

This is how playing with friends looks: Overall, FIFA is a series that puts a lot of emphasis on playing with friends. The classic couch match is still possible, and you can continue to duel online.
However, there are a few improvements that primarily affect Ultimate Team and Volta.
In Ultimate Team you can now also play Division Rivals and Squad Battles online in co-op. This was previously only possible offline. There should be bonuses for both players, along with special tasks for duos.
In Volta, you can work together in the new co-op mode “Volta Teams”. There you can play a total of three players and take control of teams in 5v5 team play. This is somewhat similar to the Pro Clubs concept and was requested last year. Overall, Volta is supposed to provide more content.
What does the Standard Edition offer? The Standard Edition simply includes the complete game and gives you a few bonuses for FUT in case of a pre-order. Release is on October 9, and the edition costs €59.99 (on PC) or €69.99 (on Xbox One & PS4).

FIFA 21 Champions Edition
What does the Champions Edition offer? The Champions Edition starts on October 6 and therefore offers 3 days of early access. It costs €79.99 (for PC) or €89.99 (for PS4 / Xbox One).
The Champions Edition also includes 12 rare gold packs and some bonuses for FUT with pre-order, as well as a world-class career mode talent. It is worthwhile if you want to start earlier and secure some packs.

FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition
What does the Ultimate Edition offer? The Ultimate Edition also offers 3 days of early access and starts on October 6. It costs €89.99 (for PC) or €99.99 (PS4/Xbox One).
Additionally, the pre-order comes with a total of 24 rare gold packs for FUT (2 per week for 12 weeks), and further FUT bonuses. Pre-ordering by August 14 also included a special OTW card with the Ultimate Edition, though that period has passed.

6. What happens after the release of FIFA 21?
This is how the FIFA season works: FIFA 21 will be constantly updated after release, which may change the game. There is no fixed schedule, but there have been various changes over the past few years.
These can affect gameplay and fix bugs. Especially in Ultimate Team and Volta, you can expect regular events that will introduce new player cards or cosmetics. There will be something new to see throughout the year.
To what extent new modes will be introduced into the game is still uncertain. In the past, a special World Cup mode or the Copa Libertadores update has been delivered. However, there is no official information about such updates yet.
If you want a glimpse of the game beforehand, you should check out our interview with two FIFA pros. The two have already explained what changes in gameplay in FIFA 21.

At level 20, you have no chance against players at level 120 in World of Warcraft. Or do you? This Frost Mage just takes them all apart.
The character level is a big deal in World of Warcraft. Typically, a player with a high level is overwhelmingly superior to a character with a low level. However, thanks to PvP scaling, there are some crazy effects. It is even possible for a character at level 20 to take down a colleague at level 120 in just a few seconds.
What happened? In his latest video, Rextroy has a little helper with him, namely a Frost Mage. This is a freshly created Void Elf, who – like all Allied Races – starts at level 20. Horde characters should only smile wearily at the threat, because it usually takes several minutes for a character at level 20 to defeat an enemy at level 120. Often it is even impossible because the hero at level 120 heals so drastically through passive effects that he cannot die.
But not in this case. In the following video, you can see how the little heroine at level 20 takes on enemies at level 120 and takes them apart. Poorly geared players die almost instantly, well-equipped players can hold out for a few seconds.

How does it work? The trick is, as has been shown in many previous videos, the peculiar PvP scaling in World of Warcraft. This ensures that weak characters receive a boost. By combining various effects, however, this can be maximized to an absurd degree.
A friend (in this case, Rextroy) needs to have the “Unite and Stand” ability in his Azerite armor. This significantly increases the primary attribute of nearby teammates when the effect is triggered.
The trinket Mr. Greed from Drustvar. This increases a teammate’s haste by 990 for 15 seconds. For a level 20 character, that means 300% haste.
Low-level gear for level 20 that brings him to 16% versatility.
The talent “Lonely Winter” increases damage by an additional 25%.
The Frost Mage thus reaches nearly 8,000% bonus damage. Frostbolt has a casting time of only 0.75 seconds – that’s nearly as much as the global cooldown, allowing it to be “spammed” indefinitely.
All together, this causes about 200,000 DPS to players at level 120. It only takes a few seconds to take down characters.
Does this work with all classes? No. The scaling seems to vary with all classes and abilities. Rextroy has only achieved such reliable results with the Frost Mage, as the Frostbolt and Blizzard showed the best results here. It remains to be seen how long this possibility will last – as Blizzard surely didn’t intend it this way.
In Call of Duty: Warzone, there are dozens of different weapons with countless possible setups. A statistic now shows the weapons that are currently the most popular.
Where is the information from? It comes from the website “lootshare“. There are over 25,000 players registered on the site who have uploaded their loadouts. Of course, there are many more players in the Warzone, but the numbers here should provide a good cross-section.
The website only shows the data for the most popular weapons from the last 30 days. The developers regularly change the strengths of the weapons, so some guns become more or less popular over time.
Here we present the 3 most popular weapons from the last 30 days and show the players’ setups.
The most popular weapons are really strong
This is the first place: In first place is the Kilo 141. It is also represented in our ranking of the best weapons in the Warzone, but only as an alternative. The setup looks like this:
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Singuard Arms 19.8″ Hider
Underbarrel: Command Grip
Ammo: 60-Round Magazine
Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic
The most popular weapon in the Warzone is the Kilo 141.
This is the second place: In second place is the MP5, for which we already have a detailed guide. It is also regarded by us as the best submachine gun for the Warzone. Its setup looks like this:
Barrel: Suppressor (integrated Monolithic)
Stock: FTAC Folding
Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
Ammo: 45-Round Magazine
Laser: Tactical Laser
This is the third place: In third place is another assault rifle, namely the Grau 5.56. We have also shown you an OP setup. We will show you the setup:
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Tempus 26.4″ Archangel
Underbarrel: Command Grip
Ammo: 60-Round Magazine
Laser: Tactical Laser
The Grau is justifiably a popular weapon.
This can be said about the ranking: Generally, the 3 weapons are very strong guns for the Warzone. The players’ choice is therefore quite understandable.
The team from Infinity Ward states that more than 200,000 cheaters have been banned in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone . In the future, they want to secure even more. However, players continue to complain about issues with cheats.
How was this determined? Infinity Ward is responsible for the anti-cheat software in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare. Since the game’s release, over 200,000 players have been banned for cheating. This includes the new wave of bans from this week, which also banned a popular streamer.
In shooters, cheaters bring ongoing problems. Aimbots ensure that players automatically hit the head or other body zones of opponents accurately. They do not have to aim themselves, sometimes not even pull the trigger – the aimbot can handle everything automatically.
Wallhacks are also popular. They allow players to see their opponents and other players through walls. This way, one knows who is waiting behind a door before opening it and in which direction to aim. Such software is unfair to “normal” players and results in bans in many games, including Call of Duty.
On Twitter, Infinity Ward explains: “We continue to implement additional security updates and provide new backend enforcement tools. Zero tolerance for cheating.” Even in July 2020, the developers appealed to players: Please do not cheat.

This is how players react: The tweet has already received over 2,800 comments on Twitter.
User @ Zarathos88 writes: “Yes, but there are still ridiculously many of them. Are you sure you are banning them? Ban them and then take away all their rights to play your game in any way. If they want to play again, they must buy the game again. There should be a console ban on consoles that applies to all users on the console.”
User @ MassTheGod writes: “I’m sure you know that they just have to create a new email address to cheat again.” It must be said that hardware bans are also distributed. Even with a new email address, one cannot just start again.
Another user shared a clip showing cheat software active in a match. This shows how cheaters play CoD:

Others complain that among the 200,000 people, there are also “innocent” ones. User @ Preyforkevin writes: “I was banned from your game without cause. These false bans are a problem that you need to spend more time investigating. Zero tolerance is bullshit when you ban normal players in the same mix with cheaters.”
Have you encountered cheaters in CoD Modern Warfare or Warzone? What are your experiences with them and Infinity Ward’s ban system? Do you feel that there are noticeably fewer hackers in the game, or are there still way too many?

Shadowlands is being delayed, the WoW expansion will come later. But what do the players actually think about this decision?
World of Warcraft Shadowlands has been delayed to an unknown date. Although the expansion is supposed to be released in 2020, a specific date is not known. But how has the community actually reacted to this announcement? We want to take a look at that.
How do players respond? Depending on where you look at the comments, there are different reactions to the announcement. In the World of Warcraft subreddit the delay is primarily viewed positively. It is often pointed out that the additional time could be helpful.
“Part of me is disappointed, another part is glad that they are taking it seriously. Basically, I am shocked that they actually delayed it. This is a big deal.”
“This is actually a positive sign from Blizzard. I am glad they are doing this.”
“Just do it right, Blizzard. The game needs a Shadowlands that is really good. In two years, no one will care if a great expansion was one or two months late.”
The post about the announcement of the delay has since received almost 16,000 upvotes and 93% of users like it.
A hotly debated topic.
It looks different on wowhead, Facebook, or also in our user comments on MeinMMO. There, the opinions are mixed and often trend more negatively. For example:
“I hope the loud minority that has complained about everything is now satisfied.”
“It was clear. In times like these, one has much more time for such things and still doesn’t get it done. Well, GZ then.”
“Ridiculous! If they know they won’t be finished, they shouldn’t throw out a date! I see this as real baiting to fill the coffers in advance!” – Gato on MeinMMO
But here too, there are always positive comments and understanding for delaying the expansion once more.
What do you think about the delay of the Shadowlands release?
But enough from other players – now it’s your turn. We want to know how you feel about the release of World of Warcraft Shadowlands. Did the delay of the release catch you off guard? Are you dissatisfied or even angry? Or can you understand the decision and even welcome it? Let us know in this survey:
If you want to elaborate a bit more on your opinion, please leave a comment and discuss actively.
Rogue Company is a new PvP shooter and has been in a closed alpha phase since July. The game has now transitioned to open beta and is free to play. But what makes the shooter interesting and for whom is it worth it?
What kind of game is this? Rogue Company is a third-person shooter that skillfully combines fast action and tactical gameplay. It features various heroes, called Rogues, each with their own skills.
Particularly praised in connection with the shooter is the mix of action-packed and tactical gameplay. Rogue Company is said to play like a mix of Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege.
The shooter is planned as a live game and will receive new content in the future, including new game modes, new Rogues, and a Battle Pass. The Hi-Rez Studios, who were already responsible for hits such as SMITE and Paladins, are the publishers behind the shooter.

Read more about our privacy policy.
What’s new? Since October 1, Rogue Company is in open beta and can be played entirely for free. And that on all platforms. The shooter is available for PC (Epic Games), PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch and also offers crossplay between all of these.
Additionally, a new character was introduced with the beta launch, Dahlia. She is a former military officer who does not hesitate to do what must be done.
A game for fans of hero shooters and complete newcomers
What does Rogue Company offer? In the shooter, you can unlock various Rogues that place great emphasis on different play styles. Unlike in Valorant, for example, each Rogue only has access to two specific weapons.
You no longer need to unlock these weapons and skills and perks separately but have access to all content related to the hero as soon as you unlock him.
Additionally, the shooter offers various game modes, which will not be permanently available in the game but will rotate:
Extraction (4 vs 4): As attackers, hack the objective or prevent your opponents from doing so as defenders. Once the objective is hacked or all players of a team are defeated, the round ends.
Strikeout (4 vs 4): Like Extraction, but each team has a certain number of tickets to respawn fallen agents. Strikeout combines Extraction with a kind of deathmatch.
Demolition (4 vs 4): Classic bomb mode. One team must plant a bomb within a set time, while the other team must prevent it.
Wingman (2 vs 2): A classic deathmatch with 2 players per team.
Rogue Company aims to combine tactics and action.
Who is Rogue Company interesting for? The shooter is considered beginner-friendly because the time to kill is relatively high, especially compared to competitive games like CS:GO or Valorant. So even if you make mistakes and get hit, you won’t die immediately.
Since each hero only has access to their specific weapons, you do not need to know and try all weapons at the start but can gradually familiarize yourself. The game modes are also relatively simple and self-explanatory.
So, if you are looking for a new shooter that you can easily get into and have a lot of fun with, you should take a closer look at Rogue Company. Another highlight is the various heroes, each with their own personality and story.
In Pokémon GO there are new field research tasks corresponding to the beginning of October. We will show you all the quests and tell you which ones you should undertake.
What’s new: At the start of each month, there are new field research tasks in Pokémon GO. In October, there are new quests, and this time they mainly revolve around ghost-type Pokémon.
This is fitting because at the end of the month it will get spooky again in Pokémon GO as the Halloween event approaches. It could be the big highlight in 2020.
All Field Research in October 2020
Where does the information come from? Dedicated players have compiled tasks at TheSilphRoad. However, keep in mind that there might still be some rare tasks missing.
Additionally, there are quests corresponding to events that are not listed here. These are only valid during the event period. The quests mentioned here are available throughout the entire month of October.
Quests with Throws
Land 5 great curveball throws in a row
Reward: encounter with a Pandir #2*
Land 5 good throws
Reward: encounter with a Voltoball*
Land 3 great throws
Reward: encounter with a Nebulak*, Anorith* or Liliep*
Land 3 great throws in a row
Reward: encounter with an Onix*
Land 3 fantastic throws in a row
Reward: encounter with a Larvitar*
A strong quest here is again the task around Pandir. It is among the rarest Shinies in the game and you should ideally always complete this quest.
Otherwise, the Voltoball task remains strong. It is quick to complete, and Voltoball is also a rare Shiny. So, you should take on the field research.
The new tasks involving Driftlon and Zwirrlicht are useful. These Pokémon are likely to appear more frequently during the Halloween event, but they are rare outside of events. Both monsters can be Shiny, so you can hope for rare Shinies.
A really good task is the quest for Lichtel. The evolution Skelabra is among the best attackers of ghost and fire type, and with this quest, you can hope for a good specimen.
Whoever hatches an egg gets a chance at a long-lost Pokémon! Makabaja celebrated its release at Halloween 2019 and has been missing since then. Now it celebrates its comeback, and you have the chance for the Shiny.
Makabaja celebrates its return

Shuppet is available this month from a quest
What about the Pandir form? Pandir will continue to celebrate form #2 this month. This form was also present last month. However, anyone who does not have a Shiny of this yet can try their luck again this month.
How long will the tasks remain? These quests typically stay active for a month. There are some tasks from the list that have remained exactly the same for months – these will likely still be around in November.
Otherwise, there will likely be a new batch of quests on November 1st at 10:00 PM German time.
Research Breakthrough in October
What do you get in the Research Breakthrough? In October, you will receive Ninjatom from the breakthrough. You can find all the info about the new breakthrough in our event overview for the month of October.
Is the breakthrough worth it? Ninjatom is useful for the Pokédex entry. After all, this Pokémon is only available during special events and especially newcomers might still need this monster.
However, Ninjatom is not very strong for raids or in PvP. If you are looking for good PvP attackers, check out our tier list of the best PvP Pokémon.

Have you ever noticed that many dungeons in MMORPGs require a group of 5? Why is that?
MMORPGs are group games. It’s about sharing a world with many others and then experiencing adventures together. If you want to explore dangerous dungeons, you are often limited to 5 players. But it wasn’t always like that. So why exactly 5?
It’s all about the group
Single-player role-playing games in the 80s and 90s adopted the group principle from pen & paper templates. Players should not roam the world as a lonely hero, but rather as a balanced party. At that time, classes such as warriors, thieves, clerics, and mages were available. However, they were also garnished with various subclasses like paladins, rangers, or druids.
For a balanced group, the four main classes were initially necessary. However, that was not enough. On the one hand, because the developers wanted to give players more variation, and on the other hand, it became evident that a damage dealer and a tank could make a significant difference in battles. Thus, the 6-member group established itself for single-player RPGs.
Older MMORPGs like Everquest 1 relied on public dungeons without fixed group sizes.
With MMORPGs, everything changed: When online role-playing games emerged in the 90s, there were initially no group limits for certain content like dungeons. The dungeons were public. Therefore, many players gathered in them. This often led to queues at boss enemies. Everyone wanted to defeat them, but the heroes had to wait until it was their turn and the boss respawned. This brought problems with it. Because no one wanted to wait long.
To eliminate waiting times and ensure better balancing, developers introduced instances. These are dungeons that only a pre-formed group of players could enter. A separate instance was then created for each group. This way, players didn’t interfere with each other and could explore the dungeon and defeat the boss in peace.
What is the right group size?
So how big should the groups be? Initially, there was experimentation. Groups of 6, groups of 16, and other configurations were not uncommon. Nowadays, 5-member groups are the most common.
A significant reason for this is the so-called Holy Trinity of classes. This consists of damage dealer, healer, and tank. These three must always be present since developers base the balancing of dungeons on this. Knowing that 5 players are entering the dungeon helps designers create and balance the dungeon well.
The correct group composition is important in an MMORPG.
In a group, there should always be at least one damage dealer, such as a mage or assassin, one healer like a cleric, and one tank like the warrior.
However, there are also other classes like debuffers, who weaken enemies, buffers, who strengthen the party, and CCs, which are crowd controllers that can hold a whole group of enemies at bay.
5-member groups give players the opportunity to experiment without compromising the Holy Trinity. This means damage dealers, healers, and tanks are already included, and further classes can be tested to see how well they help to master the challenge as effectively as possible.
Reliability and flexibility desired
It’s all about randomness: The two free spots are often referred to as randoms. These are essentially places that can be assigned randomly. Additional healers or tanks, or damage dealers as well as CCs, buffers, or debuffers are welcome.
Groups naturally pay attention to ensuring that the composition fits the dungeon that is about to be entered as closely as possible. If the dungeon is designed by the developers in such a way that groups with more tanks have better chances, then one random spot will be filled with another tank. If damage dealers are advantageous, then one of those will be added.
Small groups are popular in modern MMORPG dungeons.
This makes the groups flexible. The Holy Trinity remains intact but can then be expanded by the classes that are needed for the specific content.
However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t other group compositions. MMORPGs still offer raids for significantly more players. Some dungeons in online role-playing games are also designed for small group sizes of 3 to 4, and even solo content is not uncommon. After all, there should be variety.
5-member groups simply provide security combined with a certain flexibility and also a tactical approach. Because there can’t be two of every class in the party, it has to be carefully considered how the group should ultimately be composed. And for developers, they offer a good way to balance the content correctly since 5 players are simply manageable. Therefore, 5-member groups just make sense for dungeons in MMORPGs.

In aWolverine challenge, you must find Wolverine and defeat him in Fortnite: Battle Royale. We will show you tips and where he appears.
What kind of challenge is this? The Update 14.20 brought the superhero Wolverine from the Marvel universe as an NPC boss to the Fortnite map. In a task, you must now find Wolverine and eliminate him.
But where is Wolverine? There is no location specifically added for the hero, so it is hard to find him. This is because Wolverine spawns in various locations and moves around freely.
Locations on the map:
Wolverine has been found in the red-marked areas
Players report that they have found the superhero in various locations (via Twitter). The hero has been found at these locations:
Weeping Woods
Slurpy Swamp and the swamp area
Near The Fortilla
Now that you must find the hero and fight against him, there is a trick that will help you in your search. Wolverine’s footsteps can be “heard” from a long distance.
If you turn on “visualize sound effects” in the settings, footsteps will be shown on the screen. This way, you can immediately see which direction Wolverine’s footsteps are coming from. This will save you a lot of time in your search.
Make sure to grab a helicopter or a vehicle and search the areas where he appears. Together with the visualization of the footsteps, you will find him quickly.
Grab a “Choppa” and search the area
Defeating Wolverine – The best way to do it
How can you confront Wolverine in battle? With this boss, it is important that you try to keep your distance. If he locks onto you, you’ll quickly lose. Wolverine has lethal claws and is faster than any character in the game.
It is best to equip yourself with long-range weapons before the search and pack a few explosive throwing items as well. It is also helpful if you team up against Wolverine and attack all at once.
If you eliminate him, you will be rewarded with the Wolverine skin. So you should quickly start your search if you want to roam the Fortnite world as Wolverine.
But you can fight not only against Wolverine in Fortnite. You will also find Iron Man and Doctor Doom in the game. There are now 3 bosses in Season 4 – Chapter 2 that you can fight to obtain their superpowers.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is in cooperation with PlayStation, allowing exclusive content for a year on the Sony console. The time is up, and this content is now available on PC & Xbox as well. MeinMMO shows you what is available and whether it’s worth it.
What’s on offer? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare unlocked the Survival mode for Xbox & PC on October 1st. Due to a partnership between Sony and CoD, this PvE mode was previously only playable on PlayStation. Community manager Ashton Williams from developer Infinity Ward confirmed on Twitter that the mode is now available:
In the lower part of her tweet, Williams writes: “And yes, starting October 1st, Xbox and PC players have access to Survival mode.” To give you an overview of what to expect and whether you should check it out, here’s a brief overview of Survival mode.
Survival mode for Xbox & PC
What can the Survival mode do? The Survival mode is part of the Special Ops modes and has its own unique rules. You start with up to 4 people in a team on one of the 6vs6 maps from multiplayer and must defend yourself against incoming waves.
Since the launch of Modern Warfare, new maps have been added, and now you can enjoy 9 different maps that all go online on PC & Xbox:
Aniyah Palace
Grazna Raid
Piccadilly
St. Petrograd
Azhir Cave
Shoot House
Talsik Backlot
Crash
Hovec Sawmill
How does it work? You can go into battle solo or with up to four players. At the start, you are poorly equipped, have to search for weapons, and collect more cash with each wave for better gear. You will also find supply stations on the maps that offer you weapons or equipment for sale.
The enemies are the same as those who annoy you in the Spec Ops mode. You will be attacked by normal NPC soldiers without many special features, but also heavy Juggernauts or exploding enemies. The enemy forces can even be supported by local air support, sending helicopters after you.
You need to try to keep track and limit the number of enemy soldiers. Fallen comrades can be revived, but there is also the “Tactical Insertion” item to buy to secure a respawn. If the whole team is taken out, the round is over.
Juggernauts are the most annoying enemies you’ll encounter in Survival mode.
Is it fun? It’s a bit like the other Spec Ops modes – the entry is quite tough. But after a few rounds, you’ll know the weaknesses of the enemies, how to always have enough ammunition, and how to quickly shoot down opponents.
This can actually be quite enjoyable and offers some fast-paced action for a few rounds. However, the mode appears somewhat carelessly designed. You earn experience points for weapons, your account, and the Battle Pass, but the mode doesn’t seem to have a real purpose. There’s no real goal; it feels more like a kind of busywork therapy.
Is it worth checking out? If you want to face a challenging PvE challenge with your team, give it a try. You can enhance your communication and level up the Season 6 Battle Pass.
But if you haven’t missed the mode so far, there’s no need to get overly excited now. There’s nothing more than a nice little diversion here. We’d rather recommend the Special Ops missions – here you have a clear mission and can also unlock skins for the operators.
You can carry fallen team members around – but reviving them is faster…
What about Warzone players & Combat Packs?
Can I use this as a Warzone player? The Survival mode is part of the Special Ops segment and is only available to purchasers of Modern Warfare. If you play the free-to-play Warzone without having bought the complete CoD MW, unfortunately, there’s no new Survival mode for you.
Will there be more PS4 content for PC & Xbox? Currently, there are only hints about the Survival mode, but actually, the free Combat Packs of Warzone, which reward players with cosmetics, should not be exclusive anymore.
In the PS-Store description of the current Combat Pack (Season 5 Reloaded): “Exclusive for PlayStation®Plus members until October 1, 2020.” However, you cannot currently unlock the package on PC. There are also no current statements about the Combat Packs on how or if they will become available for players on other platforms. As soon as there is news about it, you will find out on MeinMMO, because the packs have always been quite cool.
Even if the Survival mode offers a nice addition rather than essential content, the entire Special Ops mode is a nice package with activities. If you’ve stayed away from it so far, definitely give it a try and try your hand at the missions. Here are some tips for getting started.
Since Warzone continues even after the release of Black Ops Cold War, you can also continue to use cosmetics earned in the Spec Ops mode in the future. Get yourself a few skins before the storage hog CoD MW leaves your hard drive for good. Check here how Warzone might continue with Cold War.

It is also certain that it will be about being quick again, as the demand for Sony’s next-gen console is far from satisfied.
PS5 pre-order: Are there other possibilities?
So far, all hopes and rumors revolve around a 3rd pre-order wave. Currently, there are not many other possibilities, as the PS5 is not likely to be available in retail. Right now it seems that you can only purchase your PS5 digitally.
Is there a 3rd wave for orders? An insider has now explained that new PS5 pre-orders could be possible again in a few days.The insider mentions the upcoming Monday as a possible time.
Sony had already stated that there should be further opportunities to pre-order the PS5 after the 2nd wave. Now an insider has given a specific date when pre-orders can probably start again. At least we now know a specific date.
At sellers like Amazon, the PS5 was sold out within seconds.
PS5 pre-order: The date for the 3rd wave?
As a date, Roberto Serrano mentions October 5, 2020. That is the upcoming Monday. Pre-orders should be possible again through certain sellers. This is what Serrano writes on Twitter:
The new period for pre-orders should start on October 5 due to the delivery management by Sony PlayStation.
Is there a time for the 3rd wave? An exact time is not known yet, at least the insider did not mention one. So we can only speculate when the pre-orders could start again.
The PS5 pre-orders of the 2nd wave were supposed to start around 10:00 AM, but with some sellers like Amazon, you could already pre-order around 9:40 AM. We assume that sales will start again in the morning.
It is also certain that it will be about being quick again, as the demand for Sony’s next-gen console is far from satisfied.

In Destiny 2, the Guardians are still celebrating Halloween in Season 11. We will show you what to expect at the Festival of the Lost 2020 starting next week.
This event is about: The Festival of the Lost is Destiny’s version of Halloween. The event takes place annually in the autumn and has its roots in Destiny 1.
Atmospheric candles, pumpkins, and costumes create the right spooky atmosphere. The loot is also not to be missed, as you can collect cosmetics and weapons during the festivities. Of course, you will pay for Halloween with candy.
MeinMMO gives you a compact overview of the Festival of the Lost in 2020. Read everything you need to know about times, activities, the unique masks, and other rewards in the event.
What you need to know about the Halloween event “Festival of the Lost 2020”
This is the event period: The Festival of the Lost takes place from October 6 to November 3, 2020. Start and end are aligned with the Weekly Reset.
Are there any participation requirements? No, the festival can be celebrated by all players. That means, whether you own every expansion and a season pass or are a Guardian with the Free-to-Play version Destiny 2: New Light – all rewards and activities are freely accessible.
If you started Destiny 2 for the first time, you only need to complete the introductory quest in the Cosmodrome to unlock the Tower as a social space and reach a power level of 770.
You will find Eva next to a gnarled tree in the Tower Plaza
Your point of contact: During the Festival of the Lost, you will find Eva Levante in the Tower. The lovingly called “Space Grandma” NPC is your point of contact.
You receive quests and bounties from her
Eva distributes event rewards
Visit her to receive the “Mask Helm” or to exchange candy for bounties
How does the Halloween event keep players engaged until Beyond Light finally arrives?
Since the major expansion Beyond Light has been pushed to November 10, the Festival of the Lost comes at just the right time for many Guardians. The prolonged Season 11 gives a new incentive to draw some Guardians back to the screens.
Event-specific bounties: The bounties from Eva grant Glimmer, XP, Glimmer, and Chocolate Coins. The objectives follow the familiar pattern of weekly, daily, and additional bounties.
The Haunted Forest returns as an event activity and has been made more rewarding
Under time pressure, you proceed deeper into the darkness of the Haunted Forest
The Haunted Forest – How Destiny 2 intends to scare you
What you need to know about the activity: The Haunted Forest is a dark version of the Infinite Forest on Mercury for up to 3 players. Here you must venture deeper into your nightmares under time pressure and fight against changing bosses. It is pitch dark, and you will be pursued by an unbeatable axe-swinger.
The activity was first available in 2018 and has since been a staple of the Halloween event.
The further you progress in the 15 minutes, the harder Destiny makes it to advance with negative modifiers. To succeed, you have access to special perks with your event masks.
You can start the activity from the Orbit or in the Tower, with 2 options:
Haunted Forest: Offers an integrated matchmaking system and always fills your team to 3 Guardians (recommended power level is 750)
Locked Haunted Forest: Automatic matchmaking is disabled – you enter alone or with a pre-made fireteam (recommended power level is 750)
The knight armed with an axe relentlessly hunts you
Here are the new features for 2020: If the boss remains at the end of your time limit, there are rewards. New this time is that 6 treasure chests will appear. You can open the first one normally. The last 5 can be opened with a “Cipher Decoder.”
These items drop randomly during the event from all activities. To find the “Cipher Decoder,” you must speak to Spider in the Tangled Shore at least once. You can then stack 25 Decoders and, if desired, open all 5 chests in the Haunted Forest.
These are the rewards that the Halloween event brings in 2020
This is how you get the rewards: During the Festival of the Lost, you can obtain your rewards in 2 ways: from Eva and at the end of a Haunted Forest run. Additionally, you can indulge in numerous event items in the Eververse.
Once you have unlocked access to the Haunted Forest, you can acquire bounties, masks, and other event rewards from Eva. You exchange the rewards for Chocolate Coins and candies. You receive these when you eliminate enemies or complete activities with the event masks.
At Eva, you can also complete event-specific triumphs that reward you with a Ghost Shell, a ship, and a mummy-style Sparrow (all exotic). You will also have the chance to unlock a free emblem in the Bungie store and a discount code for a new pin.
In the Haunted Forest supply boxes, you will find:
Random rolls of the event weapons “Haunting Tale” and “BrayTech Werewolf”
Masks
Chocolate Coins
Event shaders
Festival Helm and new masks: You will receive the event helm, meaning the masquerade helm, from Eva. You can choose between a version with Void, Arc, or Solar element. The helm has a power level – but only until the event ends on November 3.
The 5 new and the event masks from previous years can be activated as ornaments on the helm.
This year there are new masks
Festival-specific mods: You can install event-specific armor mods in your masquerade helm again. However, the significant bonuses are active only in the Haunted Forest.
You can choose from 3 mods:
Higher Purpose: significantly increased damage resistance in the air, significantly increased damage against all enemies, increased drop chance for heavy ammo on kills
Vampiric Touch: significantly increased damage against challenging enemies, health regeneration on precision kills, increased drop chance for heavy ammo on kills
Energetic Assassin: Precision kills grant grenade and melee energy, significantly increased damage against phantoms, increased drop chance for heavy ammo on kills
Festival-specific weapons: Through candy or in the Haunted Forest supply boxes, you can secure 2 event-specific weapons in 2020: the two auto rifles “Haunting Tale” (450 RPM) and “BrayTech Werewolf” (600 RPM).
The two auto rifles are remasters from 2018 and 2019 and come with new, random perk combinations.
BrayTech Werewolf
Event-specific Eververse content for the Festival of the Lost
What does Tess have? Tess sells Halloween-themed cosmetics in the Eververse. This includes costumes, emotes, and a new witch broom.
All items can be purchased during the event duration with both Silver (real money currency) and Glimmer (in-game currency). Only the finisher “One-Inch-Punch” is available only for Silver.
With this, Bungie responds to criticism that the best festival items are only available for paying users.
There are also event-specific costumes for Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans. These are universal ornaments, so you can activate them on all legendary armor (Armor 2.0).
In 2019, each set cost 6,000 Glimmer or 1,500 Silver. If the prices vary this year, we will update them as soon as possible.
One week before the release of FIFA 21, the first players can already access the game. However, the start of Early Access went off to a rough start.
What was the plan for Early Access? The Early Access for FIFA 21 was supposed to start on Thursday evening, a little over a week before the official release. EA Play members were supposed to have access to the 10-hour trial of FIFA 21 starting October 1st at 5 PM. However, that didn’t quite work out.
EA Play with Issues, Companion App Leaves Players Waiting
Here was the problem: At 5 PM, many players wanted to access the early version – apparently too many. The EA Play app was overloaded and the path to the FIFA 21 trial version was blocked. Players on PC also reported being unable to load the game.

On PS4 and Xbox One, there was a workaround via the respective stores. There, EA members could also download the trial. However, while this seemed to work well on PS4, there were still issues on Xbox. Among other things, the store was simply overloaded or there were cases where the respective download button was not available.
Finally, in some cases, there were also error messages stating that it was still too early. In short, many players looking to utilize the trial through their EA Play membership simply couldn’t access the game. Additionally, there were further issues. For instance, the Volta mode, which is supposed to be more exciting this year, was initially not accessible in the trial for some players.

What was happening with the Companion App? Also on Thursday, the Companion App was supposed to be released. An official time wasn’t provided – it ultimately appeared just before 8 PM. But this only applied to iOS; Android players had to wait nearly another hour.
But even here, the demand was apparently high, and players reported again – as had been the case with the web app launch – experiencing login issues. Among other things, the problem arose again that a verification code needed to be entered, but it arrived significantly delayed in the inbox.
While players were waiting for trial access and the app, FIFA published a new launch trailer via Twitter. However, the timing was difficult: comments on Twitter often addressed the overall botched start and were quite negative.

What happens now? Anyone who is currently in Early Access can test the game for 10 hours, and via the web and Companion App, players can manage their Ultimate Team.
The next important date is October 6 – then the Champions Edition and Ultimate Edition will be released with three days of early access. The start of Early Access went quite challenging – will the release next week go smoother?

Do you remember Hyper Scape, the battle royale from Ubisoft? The game did not meet the expectations of the team and players, and is now being revamped. The entry barrier was probably too high and there wasn’t enough to do.
What is happening with Hyper Scape? Hyper Scape debuted in July as an open beta. There was already a lot of attention before that, as a test phase ran prior to the beta, where players could grab keys with the help of Twitch Drops.
The launch in July and the open beta performed well on PC, but with the full release on consoles, Ubisoft did not meet its expectations. Furthermore, it did not completely fulfill the players’ expectations, the team from Hyper Scape writes in a blog post from September 30.
These are the problems Hyper Scape faced
The new goal for Hyper Scape is to become a game for “everyone”. Everyone should be able to play the game and have fun.
Hyper Scape was too hard: The developers state that Hyper Scape was always intended to have a high skill cap. But data showed that even the lower skill level was set too high.
“This leads to a difficult experience for new players. Currently, it is too hard to aim, pursue, and consistently deal damage to other players and eliminate them, especially on console.”
Additionally, Hyper Scape did not give new players enough time and opportunities to learn. Our author Jürgen Horn tried the fast shooter and says: “I am too old”.
Was it too boring? To give players more to do, more activities are being added to the game. In the main game mode “Crown Rush”, there will be more variety in formats and player numbers. Respawn systems are planned to be implemented, and game modes in the style of “Deathmatch”. They are also considering how to handle limited-time game modes.
Then Ubisoft also hints that it was simply too boring for players. “Currently, there are not enough medium- and long-term goals for players to keep them engaged in Hyper Scape.”
To change this, Season 2 of Hyper Scape is bringing a ranking system, progression systems, and better transitions from match to match. Furthermore, the team is introducing cross-play earlier than expected to address the issues with player lobbies.
Overall, it sounds like Hyper Scape was too difficult for beginners and casual players, and offered those who had enough skill simply too few goals.
The second season of Hyper Scape starts on October 6, 2020. We are looking forward to seeing how Ubisoft will succeed in the overhaul. After all, The Division 2 also had a difficult start and now there are good reasons to take another look at the shooter.

Currently, many players and interested parties are eagerly awaiting initial reports on how the PS5 performs in practice. And it looks like the wait will soon be over – this weekend.
What many PS5 fans are currently waiting for: How loud will the PS5 be in practice? How hot will it get? What are the loading times? What can the new DualSense controller do in games? And what do the new menu and especially the gameplay look like?
After all, following the direct competitor Microsoft, which has already taken the lead with its Xbox Series X, and after the recent initial tests and hands-on reports about the new Xbox, Sony is now following suit less than 2 months before the PS5’s release.
The Xbox has taken the lead, now the PS5 follows
When will the first tests and hands-on reports for the PS5 come?
According to the report from the Japanese site Gematsu, which is currently considered a serious and reliable source regarding PlayStation, it will happen this weekend.
Sony Interactive Entertainment is participating in the “YouTube Gaming Week Japan” according to Gematsu and will grant some selected Japanese YouTubers early access to the PS5 in this context. The event has been running since September 24 and ends on October 4.

What exactly will be shown? It is not clear which games will be shown, but it is expected that games with gameplay on the next-gen console will be featured. Whether the user interface will be visible and if anything about the volume will be explicitly revealed is still unknown.
It is also exciting whether western media or YouTubers will receive a similar preview opportunity over the weekend. Even if this is not the case, it should not take long before the first reports appear here in the West. We will keep you updated here on MeinMMO.
In Pokémon GO a new autumn event has been announced. It brings the new Pokémon Bambi and also a long-awaited Shiny.
When does the autumn event take place? It starts on October 9 at 5:00 PM German time. The event runs until October 12 at 10:00 PM German time. So you have less than a week to enjoy the bonuses.
The event brings new Pokémon and bonuses focusing on berries to the game. The change of seasons is the main theme and suitable Pokémon will appear.
All info about the autumn event in Pokémon GO
These are the bonuses: This time there are interesting bonuses related to berries that have never been seen before:
Berries are twice as effective when given to your buddy Pokémon
More berries are available when spinning PokéStops and Gyms
The following Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild: Bellsprout, Vulpix, Gloom, Hoothoot, Sudowoodo, Yanma, Bidoof, Zigzagoon, Sewaddle, Burmy (Plant Cloak) and Shroomish
Shiny Vulpix (Kanto form) appears for the first time in Pokémon GO
Autumn Pokémon will hatch from 5 km eggs
Bambi appears for the first time in the wild in Pokémon GO
What does Shiny Vulpix look like? The shiny version of Vulpix is just a bit lighter and not very spectacular. Shiny Ninetales looks much better, as it is gray and clearly distinguishable:
Shiny Vulpix is a long-desired shiny for trainers. After all, it is one of the few Pokémon from Gen 1 that could not be shiny before. Furthermore, it was almost chosen for the Community Day in February. However, Rhydon won the vote at that time.
What kind of Pokémon is Bambi? This monster appears in 4 different forms. It has a different pattern for each season.
Bambi can evolve into Stantler, which also has these 4 forms. It was seen on the loading screen last December. However, it did not come to the game at that time.

What comes next in Pokémon GO? The autumn event was announced just before the start of another event. Starting October 2, everything will be about fashion in Pokémon GO. Costumed Pokémon will appear and there will be additional bonuses related to these monsters.

The MMORPG is coming to the Nintendo Switch. The trailer shows you what to expect.
An MMORPG where you become a god
What is Skyforge anyway? In the MMORPG, you are an immortal from the planet Aelion. Its gods have disappeared, and you are to take their place. This is important because the world has become a target for alien powers without divine protection. You must confront these invasions and become the next god of Aelion.
In Skyforge, you are not locked into a class, but switch between them per mission, depending on which is better suited for the quest. Over time, you can actually become a god and use powerful skills. It’s even possible to compete with other gods.
Skyforge offers you many PvE but also PvP content, which, however, runs separately from each other.
Who is the MMORPG for? Skyforge is a somewhat unusual online role-playing game. There is no open world; instead, you travel to the relevant areas based on your quests, where you fight many enemies.
Therefore, Skyforge is a game meant for those who prefer dense adventures full of battles rather than an open world with great freedoms.
Add to that various PvP modes for those who want to compete with other players outside of the story.
You can also develop your character in interesting ways and try out every class. So if you want to see what it’s like to play as a god and don’t want to be tied to a single class, then Skyforge is certainly interesting for you.
Additionally, the scenario is exciting as it mixes fantasy and science fiction.
In Skyforge, you face monsters from other worlds.
Who is Skyforge not suitable for? If you expect a classic MMORPG in the style of World of Warcraft or The Elder Scrolls Online, you might want to look for another game.
As mentioned, Skyforge does not offer an open game world and therefore feels a bit constricted. The missions also feel very linear. Often, tasks repeat, which can lead to grinding.
If you’re looking for a game that lets you explore a large world and offers missions that provide more than just battles, then Skyforge might not be the right title for you.
