The streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm has been banned from Twitch. The platform does not officially provide reasons for the ban. In a new stream on YouTube, Dr Disrespect hints at how much it tears him apart not being able to talk about the ban. He then indirectly gives a hint about the reason behind his ban: Twitch wanted to save money.
This is the backstory:
The streamer “Dr Disrespect” was a successful Twitch streamer for years, and in March 2020 he even signed an exclusive contract for several years with Twitch. The contract is said to have been highly lucrative.
In June 2020, Twitch banned the streamer from the platform, thus terminating the contract.
With this video, Dr Disrespect celebrated his exclusive deal in March.
Dr Disrespect is boiling, finally speaking about the ban
This is what Dr Disrespect says now: In his streams on YouTube, Dr Disrespect is constantly asked about the Twitch ban. People say he has been “silenced by the big corporations”. Many want to encourage him and express their sympathy for his situation. They think he has been treated unfairly by “those above”.
In a stream at the end of September, you can see how Dr Disrespect is boiling to openly talk about the Twitch ban. However, he holds back again and says he cannot openly speak the truth. One must be “very careful with the truth, especially when legal matters come into play.” He has wanted to address the matter for a long time but cannot.
He has been silenced by the “process one must go through now.” He does not want to say more. Clever people can piece that together.
Then, however, he indirectly seems to talk about the ban. The very next donor says he was a Master Chief in the Navy for 25 years. Doc then says:
“25 years of active service. Master Chief! Hey, imagine the Navy comes to you and kicks you out just like that, and then brings in 3 new cadets because they say: Hey man, as a Master Chief you get a fat salary. Just imagine that. But … thankfully, that doesn’t happen to you.”

Did Twitch ban the Doctor to save his “big salary”?
This is what it’s about: Dr Disrespect indirectly suggests that Twitch fired him because they regret the exclusive contract they gave him. They would rather have signed “cheaper, new streamers” who have not contributed as much to Twitch as the long-serving Dr Disrespect.
Twitch gave Dr Disrespect the big contract in March after the rival platform Mixer lured away two of the biggest stars with Ninja and shroud for a lot of money. Twitch wanted to bind Dr Disrespect to itself and paid a lot for it.
With the end of Mixer, Twitch seems to have regretted the contract and wanted to get out of it. Since there was no “serious competition” anymore, prices had changed as well. Therefore, they banned Dr Disrespect under a pretext and terminated the contract.
According to this logic, Dr Disrespect was the big loser of the end of Mixer, while Ninja and shroud benefited double and triple.
The reasoning about “saving salary” could therefore be quite plausible.
However, the comparison with the “cadet” does not quite fit: Twitch has signed some streamers exclusively before and after Dr Disrespect. However, these were people like Summit1g, shroud, Pokimane or Ninja, who have also been around on Twitch for a long time and are not “new cadets”.
If Dr Disrespect’s comparison were really true, his contract would have had to be insane.
shroud and Ninja have now also received Twitch exclusive contracts again.
At the moment, it is unclear whether Twitch really banned the streamer for business reasons. Both parties remain “officially” silent on the case. In the background, a mediation process seems to be underway.
Furthermore, there is a theory circulating that Twitch separated from Dr Disrespect due to some controversial statements about Covid-19.
Dr Disrespect had spread some theses on Twitch in April that were categorized by the US site Kotaku as “right-wing conspiracy theories” in the context of Covid-19 (via kotaku). Dr Disrespect showed some clips and articles that touched on the topic of “herd immunity”. He urged his viewers at that time not just to be robots, but to engage with the subject.
The ban bothers him.
Dr Disrespect is now streaming on YouTube and has impressive numbers there. He should actually be doing well again. However, that is not the case. He admitted that the Twitch ban is weighing heavily on him and that for the first time in his life, he is feeling pressure and has developed an anxiety disorder.
However, until October 9, you can still easily defeat Zapdos in a duo. We will show you which Pokémon you need for that.
Defeating Zapdos Easily as a Duo
Use these counters: Zapdos is a Fire and Flying type. Therefore, it is vulnerable to attacks from the Rock, Water, and Electric types. It has a double weakness to Rock, so you should especially focus on this type.
These aids should be used:Friendship level is particularly important in duos. It can significantly enhance your attacks. The higher the friendship level between you, the easier the duo will work.
It is similar with the weather bonus. This bonus also increases your attack. For example, if it is partly cloudy, your Rock Pokémon become even stronger.
For our calculations, we only considered the friendship level. The duo also works without the right weather.
Defeating Zapdos at Level 25 – Here’s How
Meet these requirements: Already at level 25, the duo is quite easy. With the highest friendship level, you should have no problems. But even with a lower level, such as with Superfriends, the duo should be doable.
Rameidon is one of the best Pokémon against Zapdos.
Use these Pokémon: You have a total of 6 Pokémon available that can complete the duo at level 25:
Rhyperior with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Terrakion with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
Rampardos with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
Tyranitar with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Gigalith with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
Aerodactyl with Rock Throw and Rock Slide
Mega Blastoise would also be sufficient at level 25 for a duo. However, we did not include it in the list here as it is significantly harder than the other monsters and is only temporarily available.
Defeating Zapdos at Level 30 – Here’s How
Meet these requirements: With the counters mentioned above, the duo becomes quite easy. The friendship level is no longer as important unless you want to experiment a bit with the Pokémon.
Use these Pokémon: 4 additional monsters can be used at level 30:
Amoroso with Rock Throw and Rock Slide
Demeteros with Rock Throw and Rock Slide
Golem with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Alolan Golem with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Defeating Zapdos at Level 35 – Here’s How
Meet these requirements: With Pokémon at level 35 and the best friendship level, you should have no problems in a duo. But it also works without a friendship level – provided you use the best counters we mentioned above.
Use these Pokémon: As best friends and with Pokémon at level 35, the duo works with 4 additional Pokémon:
Aerodactyl with Wing Attack and Ancient Power
Lunatone with Rock Throw and Rock Slide
Sunkern with Rock Throw and Rock Slide
Steelix with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Defeating Zapdos at Level 40 – Here’s How
Meet these requirements: Compared to level 35, not much changes at level 40. The duo is not much easier, but still relatively simple.
Use these Pokémon: 3 more Pokémon complete the duo at level 40, provided they have the right moves:
Zekrom with Charge Beam and Thunder Shock
Castform with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
Carvanha with Rock Throw and Ancient Power
Can Zapdos be defeated alone? Zapdos cannot be defeated alone. You always need a partner to defeat Zapdos.
How difficult is the battle? The duo against Zapdos is quite easy to achieve. So you don’t have to dismiss the challenge just because you are not yet at level 40.
Is the battle against Zapdos worth it? Definitely! Zapdos is one of the best Fire attackers in the game and should not be missing from your team. Additionally, Zapdos can be Shiny. If you don’t have a Shiny yet, you should secure it.

K/DA is a band in the universe of League of Legends and was originally created to sell special skins in the game. In 2018, they had a big hit with the song Popstars. Now, the band’s first album, titled ALL/OUT, is set to be released in November.
What kind of band is this? K/DA is a K-Pop group that Riot Games launched in 2018. It consists of 4 members, all of whom are playable champions and voiced by real singers and rappers.
In addition to these two songs, there is also a “Behind the Scenes” video and a video from the live performance in 2018. All videos combined have been viewed more than 450 million times on YouTube alone. The songs can also be accessed on Spotify, iTunes, and other music platforms.

What is now planned? Via Twitter, the band announced that their first album ALL/OUT will be released on November 6.
However, it is not yet known how many songs will be included. It is certain that “The Baddest”, the second song of the band, will be a part of it.
Rotating singers and collaboration with a new champion?
What do we know about the album? The singers behind the champions of the band K/DA have changed with the song “The Baddest”:
Evelynn was originally voiced by Madison Beer, an American singer. For the new song, Wolftyla took over.
Kai’Sa was sung by Jaira Burns from the USA in 2018. In “The Baddest”, however, Bea Miller sang. She confirmed that she was only brought in for that one song and did not voice the whole album (via Twitter).
On reddit, it was speculated whether the singers could rotate for every song. However, there are also consistent singers in the band:
Ahri has been voiced by the South Korean Miyeon, a member of the K-Pop group (G)I-dle, since 2018.
Akali has been voiced by Soyeon, also in (G)I-dle, since 2018.
The cover of the first album of the band K/DA (via Twitter).
Riot Games has given Seraphine her own presence on social media and even made her cover K/DA songs. Additionally, there was a leaked image showing all 5 champions. Although it is a bit blurry, many fans consider it to be a possible promo image from Riot Games.
A sale featuring the highlights of PlayStation 4 has started in the PS Store before the PS5 launches in November. Ghost of Tsushima is also included in the offer.

What is Ghost of Tsushima? This game is a PS4-exclusive action game. You take on the role of Jin Sakai, the last samurai on the island of Tsushima, who wants to free the island from Mongol domination. The combat system is mainly based on sword fighting and other historical weapons from the 13th century.
Why is this game worth it? The story is interestingly told with many exciting characters, and the developers have incorporated a lot of historical background. Fans of Japanese mythology will particularly enjoy this. The game also offers beautiful landscapes, great lighting and shadow effects, and varied tasks. The German localization is also well done. The save feature is fair and there are three difficulty levels that can be switched at any time.
The game primarily focuses on sword combat, and it works surprisingly well: The combat system is intuitive with blocks, counters, and attacks, and there’s a well-executed duel mode with one-hit chances. However, fighting is not mandatory, as the game offers enough options to approach situations differently. There are useful stealth abilities that you can use to distract and take down enemies.
Starting in fall 2020, the game will receive a cooperative multiplayer expansion called Ghost of Tsushima: Legends – free for all owners of the game.
What is less successful: The fights can sometimes feel chaotic since you cannot lock onto enemies, and thus you can hit opponents randomly. The opponent AI is also only mediocre, and aside from the exciting story, there are some annoying collection tasks that feel forced. Due to the weak AI, infiltration of enemy camps feels a bit too easy.
Who is this game suitable for? If you are looking for a game that not only offers an exciting story but also includes a lot of historically accurate background, you should check out Ghost of Tsushima. Likewise, those who prefer a slower combat pace over fast combos should also take a look at this exclusive title.
Pros
exciting story with interesting characters
historically well-researched backgrounds
good lighting and shadow effects
strong German localization, enemies speak in their language
intuitive, slow combat system
varied gameplay of combat, stealth, and exploration
Cons
with many enemies, fights can become chaotic
weak enemy AI
infiltration of enemy camps is too easy
some annoying collection tasks
Where can you buy the game? Currently, the game is on sale in the PS Store:

What is The Witcher 3? In Witcher 3, you take on the role of the Witcher Geralt of Rivia and experience adventures in a vast fantasy world. From cities to wild landscapes to “Viking” islands, it’s all included.
Why is this game worth it: The Witcher 3 offers a superbly voiced story, combined with fitting music and an enjoyable combat system. Especially fans of the previous games or the books will find joy here. The game also offers plenty to do outside of the main quest. This includes countless side quests and a lively, varied game world that rewards players who also venture off the beaten path.
In The Witcher 3, many adventures await you beyond the story.
What is not so successful: The Witcher 3 is visually beautiful on PlayStation 4, but its performance demands are noticeable. Occasionally, there are frame drops, and loading times can also be quite lengthy.
Tip: We recommend playing the previous games or reading the books. Alternatively, at least take a look at a short story summary of parts 1 and 2. Many references are made to the earlier games, and you can also carry over save files.
Who is this game suitable for? This game is wholeheartedly recommended for any role-player seeking a strong story or interesting characters. In terms of gameplay, The Witcher 3 is certainly one of the best role-playing games in recent years.
Pros
greatly voiced and staged story
dynamically engaging combat system
many tasks and a large world to explore
great music
interesting crafting system
Cons
those unfamiliar with the previous games or books might be lost
frame drops and other technical issues
Where can you buy The Witcher 3? Currently, only the standard edition of The Witcher 3 is on sale:
What is Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order? The story takes place between Episodes 3 and 4. You take on the role of Jedi apprentice Cal Kestis, who survived Order 66. Now you are on the run from the Galactic Empire.
Why is this game worth it: Respawn Entertainment has done great work in game design: The worlds become more complex as the game progresses. This means you take longer to explore since the worlds grow not only horizontally but also vertically. It feels good due to the successful design. The entire mix of fighting and exploration is balanced, and the coherent design is further enhanced by the great sound and voice backdrop, which is also very enjoyable in German. The enemies are variably designed, and the game offers 4 different difficulty levels.
In Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, you also fight against very strange enemies.
What is less successful: The graphics look great, but the framerate on the PS4 (Pro) can vary greatly. Due to the very linear story, the game also offers little replay value. It is also a pity that protagonist Cal does not develop much character depth during the game. Additionally, it is annoying that you constantly have to return to old areas that you have already visited.
For whom is this game worth it? Do you like action games with a fast combat system that have a Star Wars flair? Then you should check out Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
Pros
great “Star Wars” presentation
excellent game design thanks to three-dimensional worlds and a good atmosphere
perfect mix of fighting and exploration
good German voice acting and sound backdrop
varied enemies
4 difficulty levels
Cons
fluctuating performance on PS4 Pro
very linear story with little replay value
protagonist Cal Kestis remains bland and uninteresting
strong backtracking: frequent returns to known areas
Where can you buy Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order? Currently, the base game is on sale in the PS Store. The Deluxe Edition is not on sale:
What is Far Cry New Dawn? Far Cry New Dawn is a first-person shooter with open-world elements and, like its predecessor, takes place in the fictional U.S. state of Montana in Hope County. This time, however, a nuclear war has ravaged the world, and it looks completely different. You fight against the twin sisters Mickey and Lou.
In New Dawn, there are plenty of references to the predecessor, and the story continues from the previous one. Those who haven’t played Far Cry 5 may not understand the plot fully. Unlike other games like Metro and the like, the post-apocalypse is colorful and cheerful.
Why is this game worth it: Far Cry New Dawn embraces the post-apocalypse, but unlike other genre representatives, it doesn’t take itself too seriously:
The post-apocalypse is colorful and portrayed with bright colors, the opponents are wonderfully absurd, and the story is entertaining due to the quirky characters. Like its predecessors, New Dawn provides good arcade fun and offers plenty to discover outside the missions.
Far Cry: New Dawn offers a wonderfully colorful, quirky apocalypse.
What is less successful: In terms of gameplay, Far Cry New Dawn offers little new. The AI of the enemies and your companions is at best average, the missions can be somewhat uninspired, and technically, things don’t always run smoothly. Additionally, the story is only fully understandable for those who have played Far Cry 5.
Who is this game suitable for? Did you like the predecessor or do you generally enjoy arcade-like fun shooter action that doesn’t take itself too seriously? Then you should check out Far Cry New Dawn. If you like open-world games from Ubisoft, you will also enjoy it.
Pros
the story doesn’t take itself too seriously
pleasing visuals with interesting post-apocalypse
quirky and exaggerated characters
great and enjoyable arcade shooting
lots to explore
Cons
weak AI
not always technically clean
some uninspired missions
Where can you buy the game? Currently, the game is on sale in the PS Store:
What is Stellaris? Stellaris is a 4X global real-time strategy game. This means you take care of the needs of your empire, which you gradually build in space. You colonize planets, use diplomacy, research new technologies, or build fleets to defend against pirates or other empires or to subjugate them. Gameplay-wise, Stellaris is very complex like all Paradox games and requires quite some learning time.
Why is this game worth it: Stellaris is incredibly complex and offers a lot to do. It starts with the extensive creation of species and becomes increasingly complex as you gain control over more planets. You can conveniently later merge multiple star systems into a territory, which makes gameplay easier.
The slow expansion and management of your empire is a lot of fun, and you will be engaged for a long time. In addition, there is an extensive technology tree and diplomacy with other species, random events, and many other tasks such as elections that you must manage. Like every Paradox strategy game, Stellaris is incredibly complex and offers a lot to keep you busy.
What is less successful: The game offers a dry presentation; most events occur through menus and text. Much more annoying is the cumbersome gamepad control. This isn’t due to the gamepad itself, but rather the many menus. While on PC, you can quickly hover over spaceships or planets with a mouse to retrieve information, here you have to awkwardly select everything with the controller.
The developer also enlarged the user interface for the TV screen, which makes the game less clear. This costs time and patience. While the PC version supports mods, they are not supported on consoles. Additionally, the world size on PlayStation is limited to 600 stars (PC: 1000 stars).
Who is this game suitable for? Do you love games like Master of Orion, Endless Space, or Sins of a Solar Empire? Then check out Stellaris. Because this game also relies on traditional 4X elements set in space and is, unlike other cool representatives of the genre, also available on PS4. Like other heavyweight strategy titles from Paradox, Stellaris is not very accessible, so bring time to familiarize yourself with its mechanics.
Pros
many possibilities
extensive customization options
expansion and management keep you entertained
diplomacy, research, random events, and elections
clear world map
good tutorials with many tips
Cons
dry presentation
clumsy gamepad controls
no mods on PS4
limited to 600 stars per galaxy (PC offers 1000).
Where can you buy Stellaris: Console Edition? Currently, both the Standard and Deluxe Editions are on sale in the PS Store. The Deluxe Edition includes not only the base game but also the DLCs Plantoids Species Pack, Leviathans Story Pack, and the Utopia add-on.
Even today, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered offers great shooter action – if you overlook the silly enemies.
What is Sniper Elite V2 Remastered? In this game, you are playing as Karl Fairburne in war-torn Berlin. World War II is only weeks away from its end, and your task is to eliminate members of a Nazi rocket program. You fight your way through 11 missions.
Why is this game worth it: Even today, the game provides an interesting story set in war-torn Berlin. The individual missions are designed in a way that allows you to complete the level in various ways. This adds to motivation. The successful co-op mode is also enjoyable, allowing you to fight through Berlin with a partner, which increases replay value. Pursuing scattered collectibles like gold bars is also motivating.
The remastered version not only offers a graphics update but also includes a photo mode and a new multiplayer. Additionally, there are seven new characters from Zombie Army Trilogy that you can play with as a nice bonus.
You fight against Nazis in war-torn Berlin shortly before the end of World War II.
What is less successful: The enemy AI is still quite dumb even in the remastered version, as they don’t seem to take cover when under fire. The levels also feel somewhat lifeless, and the gameplay becomes repetitive over time. Despite the graphical overhaul, you can still see the age of the game. The individual levels appear quite static and lifeless, likely due to the setting in war-torn Berlin.
Who is this game suitable for? Are you in search of an interesting story set in war-torn Berlin and enjoy solid shooter gameplay combined with a nice co-op mode? Then you should check out this game.
If you are looking for more good co-op games, here are the 25 best co-op games for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch:
Those who want their money back for WoW: Shadowlands lose access to a character – at least if the boost was used.
Blizzard has informed all disappointed players of World of Warcraft that they can return Shadowlands without major complications. After all, the release of the next WoW expansion Shadowlands has been postponed. However, this may come with some restrictions. The purchased bonuses will disappear – and with them access to a possibly beloved character.
What happened? The developers of World of Warcraft have postponed the release of the expansion “Shadowlands”. Instead of the targeted date at the end of October, the release will now take place later this year. Blizzard has informed all buyers and pre-order customers about this and has simultaneously offered them a refund.
If desired, one can get the purchase price of Shadowlands back, but will also lose the associated bonuses – so far, so logical.
The postponement of Shadowlands has hit some players hard.
What is the problem? Among the bonuses for pre-orders was, depending on the purchased version, also a character boost to level 120. Those who redeemed this could elevate one of their characters directly to level 120. However, if this boost is now lost retroactively because Shadowlands was returned, then the respective character will be blocked. That character can no longer be logged in.
How can one play the character again? To regain access to the respective character, one must either buy a version of Shadowlands that includes the character boost or purchase a character boost separately. Afterwards, the boost must be re-applied to the respective character. This should unlock the character after a few seconds of waiting.
Those who did not use the boost will naturally not lose access to possible characters.
Are you looking for the best wing talents in the FIFA 21 career mode? Then you will find here young LF, RF, LM, and RM with great potential for your club!
Strong talents at LF, RF, LM, and RM: If you want to launch quick attacks down the flanks, you need strong wingers. These players are often characterized by pace and solid dribbling. They can also serve strikers well and, if needed, finish themselves. At least if they come with the right attributes.
However, these versatile players are often very expensive. Therefore, it makes sense to look for talented wingers in the career mode that you can develop into real stars over the years.
In FIFA 21, your players develop differently depending on training success and match appearances. Position changes are also possible if the attributes allow for it. The new development opportunities are one of the major innovations in FIFA 21 Career.
Here you will find talents that you can make into real stars on the wing in career mode. We present to you the best LF, RF, LM, and RM with the highest potential and then show you affordable yet talented alternatives.
The potentials are to be understood as guidelines. If you train your talents vigorously, it could be that they exceed the values indicated here due to dynamic potential. Conversely, they may also fall short if you neglect them.
The 10 best talents at LF, RF, LM, and RM in FIFA 21 career mode
These are the top wing talents: Here we show you the talents that have the highest potential on the wings. The players are a maximum of 23 years old and therefore have plenty of time for development. However, they can also be extremely strong at the beginning of their career and thus expensive.
Kylian Mbappe: There’s hardly anything to say about the cover star of FIFA 21. He is the best talent in the game, fast, finishing strong, and a real 5-star skiller. He brings everything for the offense – in attack, but also on the wings. Unfortunately, he already costs over 100 million.
Vinicius Jr.: The winger from Real Madrid is only 19 and can increase his 80 rating to 93. A big leap! The market value is between 40 and 50 million.
Kai Havertz: The German talent from Chelsea is actually at CAM but can also perform very well on RM. Havertz is 21 years old and can jump from 85 to 93. Price tag: 120 million euros, making him very expensive.
Jadon Sancho: The Dortmund player can come down both wings; he starts with a rating of 87. The potential is at 93, but the cost is around 120 million.
Trincao: Trincao can be found at FC Barcelona with a rating of 78. The 20-year-old can develop to 91 and costs about 34 million.
Marcus Rashford: The 22-year-old is a real weapon at Manchester United, both on the wing and in attack. His 85 rating can rise to 91; United wants about 80 million for him.
Ansu Fati: Another top talent at FC Barcelona for the wing. He starts with 76, rises to 90 and is available for nearly a bargain at 17 million.
Rodrygo: Real has another huge talent for the wing alongside Vinicius with Rodrygo. He starts at 79, rises to 90, and costs 38 million.
Oyarzabal: The Spaniard can play on both wings and starts his career with strong 84. He rises to around 90, and his market value is 66 million – although his club often demands more.
Mason Greenwood: Greenwood is only 18 years old and can jump from 77 to 89. He costs 24.5 million and will strengthen you on the right wing or in attack.
Mbappé is an extremely strong talent – but also expensive. Who is the alternative?
Affordable, young wing talents with potential – under 10 million euros
Here you will find affordable wing talents: Unfortunately, the top talents have already become real superstars and are correspondingly expensive. Therefore, here you will find some talents that also have strong potential but cost no more than 10 million euros.
J. Bellingham: The Dortmund newcomer is actually at center but can also impress on the wings. He is only 17 years old, can jump from 69 to 88, and costs only 3.5 million.
Pedri: Again Barcelona, again a top talent. The Spaniard starts at 72 and jumps up to 88. Cost: 6 million euros.
A. Urzi: The Argentine was already among the top talents last year and can lead you forward this year as well. He plays at LM, CM, and RM, costs 7.5 million, and can jump from 73 to 88.
J. Doku: A candidate for LF and RF who is only 18 years old and can jump from 73 to 88. You can get him for 4.9 million.
Luis Henrique: You can find the Brazilian at Olympique Marseille and can sign him for 2.8 million. This could pay off: He jumps from 67 to 87.
All young LF, RF, LM, and RM – U21 talents with potential 87+
The best wing talents under 21: In this overview, you will find all strong talents under 21 who have a potential of more than 87. You can sort the list as you like and thus find the best candidates for your FIFA 21 career:
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
The egg pool in Pokémon GO is currently quite disappointing, says MeinMMO editor Noah Struthoff. He mentions 3 reasons why the eggs should be revised.
Here’s the current situation regarding the egg pool: It almost seems like Niantic has forgotten the egg pool. For months there has been no rotation, and you feel like you only get 5 different monsters from the eggs.
I haven’t been actively hatching eggs for a while now; I just let the infinite incubator run. When I have 9 10-km- eggs in my inventory, I do use the bought incubators, but I still get frustrated with the contents.
In my opinion, there are primarily 3 reasons why the egg pool is currently so poor and urgently needs a revision.
Reason 1: Nothing has changed for months
The basic egg pool has remained the same since the beginning of the year. Since then, some new Pokémon from Gen 5 have been added here and there, but you can almost count them on one hand.
The adjustments to the egg pool have not been very significant; Niantic stated at the end of December 2019 that they had made larger adjustments.
Since then, you find the same monsters in the eggs, which is pretty disappointing. In any case, the Pokémon you get from the eggs are mostly not useful, but at least I would appreciate a bit of variety.
Currently, I find Pokémon like Picochilla, Ponita, Felilou and Toxiped incredibly common. If I could at least hatch a few other duds instead, that would be a bit refreshing.
Picochilla is contained in most of my 5-km eggs – that’s annoying
Reason 2: The Pokémon are mostly bad
As mentioned above, the quality of the eggs is not very impressive. Most of the Pokémon are simply bad and can usually be thrown away without even looking.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want the rarest Pokémon to be thrown at me here. But I would wish for a few more useful monsters. Rotomurf, Machollo, Elektek or Kokonodon have strong evolutions and thus belong to the best attackers in the game, but are no longer found in the eggs.
Instead, some duds could be completely thrown out. I actually haven’t seen anyone who was happy about a Toxiped or a Schwallquap in the eggs.
I would like to see Pokémon like Koknodon back in the eggs.
Reason 3: Really good Pokémon are just too rare
The egg pool contains some rare Pokémon, such as Kapuno or Milza. These are also real highlights in the eggs, but they are just way too rare.
Of course, such Pokémon should be rarer in the eggs, but the chance is almost cheeky. For example, if you look at the egg list on TheSilphRoad, the chance for Kapuno and Milza is one percent. In 310 10-km-eggs, there were only 4 Kapuno and just 3 Milza.
Instead, the 10-km-eggs contain Pokémon like Barschwa or Golbit. They and their evolutions are useless and are also extremely common. Among the 310 eggs from TheSilphRoad, it was 72x Barschwa. I also have the Pokémon in every 3rd 10-km-egg. In my opinion, the chance of really rare Pokémon should be increased a bit.
You want to start the new FUT season in FIFA 21 with a Bundesliga team? Then we have a team for you to kick off.
What kind of team is this? Of course: If you have already filled your FUT account with a lot of coins and can freely act in the transfer market, you can simply buy the best Bundesliga team. Players like Robert Lewandowski, Joshua Kimmich, or Erling Haaland are in there. But: Very few have those coins at the start of the game. Wild trading via Web App or Companion App doesn’t help much either.
But even if you don’t have too many coins on hand, the Bundesliga offers several players that are great for starting in FUT. They may not be the absolute meta-players that can wipe the floor with every opponent. However: They are more than enough for a decent start.
This Bundesliga team is perfect for starting
Which players are in the team? We looked at a Bundesliga team that is as affordable as possible, yet still competitive. The market value of the players should ideally not exceed 5,000 coins – and if possible, be below that. Using the team builder, we composed the following team:
This team does not cost too much but can keep up Source: Futbin
As of now, this team costs 38,000 coins on the transfer market. However, the price may change over the coming days – either upwards or downwards. Nonetheless, each of these players can be a good starting point for a Bundesliga team in FUT. We explained why these players are included here:
Hwang Hee Chan: The Leipzig player currently costs around 3,000 coins and can help you mainly with pace in the attack. He is solid in dribbling and shooting as well.
Kramaric: The Hoffenheim player has been a good choice for starter teams for years, and this also applies in FIFA 21 – although he received a downgrade in the new ratings. However, he still has good attacking stats and 4 stars for skills and weak foot. Cost: About 2,000 coins.
Hazard: Thorgan Hazard also has 4 stars for skills and weak foot and good dribbling and pace stats. He should be an asset on the wing, currently costing 4,500 coins.
Bellarabi: The forward is an exception on the list because the other strong alternatives on the right wing in the Bundesliga are still more expensive. He is at 6,000 coins, but he is very fast and good at dribbling.
Tolisso: In the Bundesliga, there are only a few center midfielders with good stats whose prices do not explode quickly. Tolisso is solid in all areas and can justify his 4,500 coins well.
Delaney: Delaney is also an exception: He costs around 6,000 coins, but comparable alternatives like Laimer or Can are still expensive. However, Delaney can also justify the price with generally solid stats.
Günter: The left-back does not have the highest overall rating, but has good stats in pace, defending, and physicality. He is significantly cheaper than alternatives in the position at 3,900 coins.
Piszczek: The Dortmund player has switched from right-back to center-back and has decent stats across the board. The price is manageable at 2,400 coins.
Hinteregger: He has comparable stats to Piszczek and should act as a good duo partner for the Dortmund player. Cost: Around 2,700 coins.
Lainer: Gladbach’s right-back is much more affordable than the competition at the position and costs 2,200 coins. The stats suggest a solid defender who can also make a few runs forward. He probably won’t score any goals though.
Hradecky: The Bundesliga has many good, affordable goalkeepers. With Hradecky, you have a good cost-performance ratio at around 2,000 coins.
Are you more into career mode than Ultimate Team? Even then, you should pay close attention to your team composition. Here are the best talents in FIFA 21 that can bring your club forward with great potential.

Recently, the Guardians in Destiny 2 celebrated the “double loot” bonus. It’s returning next week. We’ll look at why it’s worth it, but not as much as it used to be.
This bonus is coming next week: In the Dawning: Trial by Fire, there will be double rewards. It starts with the Weekly Reset on October 6. You will have exactly one week until October 13, when the increased loot in the Nightfall trials returns to normal values.
The bonus was first active three weeks ago and catapulted the otherwise less popular activity up the popularity scale. The reason for this is that you can farm for
Missing Exotics for the collection,
Exotic armor with random rolls, and
Masterwork resources come
Why is Destiny so generous? In recent weeks, Bungie has been more generous than ever, showering the Guardians with loot, rare items, and experience points. This is due to the delay of Beyond Light to November 10. This also comes with an extended Season 11.
To give the Guardian a reason to log in, Destiny is being very generous. Among all the previous bonuses, the double loot in the Trial by Fire was the most well-received:
A Cyclops guards the double loot in the Trial by Fire
This strike is active: Throughout next week, the mission “A Garden World” (A Garden World) will take place in the Trial by Fire. You can expect numerous Vex on Mercury and a massive Cyclops as the boss at the end.
Double loot is available at every difficulty
While the higher levels promise significantly more valuable drops – but you’ll forgo team search
Is the bonus week worth it? The double loot is very worthwhile. Especially for players who want to prepare for Beyond Light, there is hardly a better opportunity to upgrade the cost-intensive Exotics – as these are not affected by weapon retirement.
You can even build up a stash of the rarest materials and use them freely in the DLC.
A run on Grandmaster can yield 4 of the coveted Ascendant Shards and a ton of upgrade prisms.
There is only very limited space in the inventory for Ascendant Shards, but the Postmaster will gladly stack them for you.
If you hoard now, you can use it freely in Beyond Light
The last time the strike “Sea of Shadows” was active, it was definitely more worthwhile back then. The current mission “A Garden World” is considerably longer and especially the boss fight is more challenging. If you haven’t yet taken advantage of the opportunities, you should definitely plan a few runs.
On October 4th, the first videos of practical tests on the PS5 were released. Some selected Japanese YouTubers were allowed to try the next-gen console. They mainly reported on a quiet fan and showed fast loading times.
What happened? As already mentioned earlier, some Japanese were allowed to try the next-gen console as part of the “YouTube Gaming Week Japan”.
What do the reports say? On the Japanese website Dengeki Online, there is a report from the hands-on event. The author praises the speed of the console in particular.
When switching the game or dying, it is said that loading should occur within a few seconds. A restart of the game should only take about 1 minute.
This short video shows how quickly one is back in the game after dying:

The author also spoke about the noise and heat of the new console. After about 80 minutes of gameplay, the PS5 was reportedly still quiet and only slightly warm.
The Japanese website 4Gamer has also made some close-up shots of the console, of which you can find more on the site itself. They show the connections and the glossy effect around them:

New controller is supposed to provide strong haptic feedback
What about the new controller? In the report on Dengeki, the new DualSense controller was also an important topic. It is described as larger and heavier than the PS4 version, but the author was pleasantly surprised by the weight, as he had expected an even heavier version.
Additionally, he praised the haptic feedback of the controller. Depending on the situation, the resistance when using the trigger buttons on the controller should change. This was what the author liked the most. Furthermore, the vibration of the controller is said to be “different in quality than before”.
The controller also includes a microphone for voice chats or to create sounds in games, as well as a larger battery for longer playtime.
Overall, the controllers were particularly well received by many YouTubers. Although you can’t understand what they say in the videos, you can see the enthusiasm many of them had while using the controller.
Here too, the website 4Gamer published some new pictures:
The blue bar can change color
Close-up of the microphone
The trigger buttons play an important role in haptics.
What about menus and interfaces?
During the hands-on, images of the console and gameplay from some games were shown. However, what was omitted were menus and interfaces.
This led to criticism from some users on reddit. There were speculations that it might have been intentional for these to be missing and that Sony might have something to hide.
However, there were significantly more counterarguments, asserting that Sony would not make major mistakes on this issue, as they had not disappointed users in the last generations either.
We do not know why the menus and interfaces were not part of the hands-on presentations.
In September, a preview event took place in New World, where Amazon’s new MMO could be tested. The monotonous quests were particularly harshly criticized. In an interview with MeinMMO editor Leya Jankowski, David Verfaillie, Head of Player Experience, explained that significant work is being done on these.
About a month ago, New World could be played for the first time without an NDA. At the preview event, there was no confidentiality clause as there had been on other alpha events. Naturally, hot discussions about Amazon’s new MMO erupted online.
This prompted us at MeinMMO to send some questions to the developers about the event.
MeinMMO: What surprised you the most at the preview event?
David Verfaillie: We were surprised by many things. Among them were some exploits that we hadn’t discovered yet, like the delivery mission exploit. We were surprised by how the meta evolved with a high player count. For example, we didn’t think that large groups would team up to level quickly and farm the “High Level” events. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of people who played and how deeply they engaged with the game overall.
The delivery mission exploit explained: Once you join one of the three factions, players can complete PvP and PvE quests for their faction. Now, you must accept all delivery missions. After a wait time of five minutes, the delivery missions refresh. You can accept all delivery missions again. This can be repeated as often as you like and can provide an enormous and quick level boost. The developers only noticed this exploit during the event.
MeinMMO: What went well during the event and what didn’t go so well?
David Verfaillie: Overall, we were very happy with the stability and performance of the game. New World ran well for most players with good FPS performance. We had servers running in multiple regions and could handle the influx of players well in the first days.
What did not go well were issues with weapon balance that overshadowed some cool weapons. We also had activities, particularly the Corruption breaches, that had such good rewards that they were de facto the way to level in the mid and end game.
The Corruption breaches are a PvE event where AI enemies must be defeated. They come from portals and monoliths.
Easy AI was intentional, will become harder
MeinMMO: Your combat system is quite unique for an MMO, and I have heard a lot of praise for it from PvP players. I personally mostly played PvE during the event. When I fought against the AI, I quickly learned their movesets and knew exactly when to dodge, strike, or block. Have you received more feedback from players that the AI should be a bigger challenge?
David Verfaillie: The AI is intentionally kept simple in the early game. Many players coming to New World will encounter an action combat system for the first time. Therefore, we want to provide players with only a slight increase in difficulty at the beginning so they can learn the controls and tactics for the combat system. We want the challenge to increase more in the mid-game and again in the end-game.
During the preview, we were amazed at how quickly players became experts. There is definitely still more room for us to make the AI harder in terms of behavior and numbers.
Quests will be significantly revised before release
MeinMMO:During an interview with YouTuber and streamer Asmongold, Mike Willette [Lead Game Designer] talked about your plans regarding the quests. These currently consist of killing mobs and opening chests. In the interview, it was stated that you are working on quests with more variation and that you want to better integrate them into gameplay. Do you have examples of what that will look like?
David Verfaillie: The feedback regarding quest variety was very unanimous and clear – there are too many simple kill quests. We agree with the feedback and are now making significant efforts to improve them.
We don’t want to spoil all the surprises, but quest variety and the depth of interactions during quests are areas we are working hard on. This means quests will include more exploration, discoveries, interactions, and even some simple scripted events.
We also want to add more quests so that the main story continues beyond the Azoth Staff quests into the endgame.
The typical quests in New World: Kill something or open chests.
MeinMMO: In the interview, Mike also mentioned that all weapons are to receive a rework. Which weapons are receiving your attention and why?
David Verfaillie: There were some major balance issues, such as the throwing axe stun-lock, the throwing axe healing, or the life staff with the light-speed ability and how they impacted PvP and travel.
But there were also smaller problems. The warhammer was rather weak for its sluggish speed. We will spend some more time on weapon balancing before launch. Each weapon should feel like it has its own role and usefulness that is not overshadowed by other weapons.
The problem with the life staff: In New World, you have three weapon slots that allow you to switch dynamically between weapons. Almost every player had one slot reserved for the life staff. You can equip this one with a skill that allows for quick teleportation. This meant players could easily escape quickly with the staff when they faced trouble in PvP, and they could move around a bit faster. This, of course, directly limited the diversity of weapon usage.
MeinMMO: One of my personal favorite details was the zombie-like corrupted who were still doing their farming work. I think that’s cool storytelling about the environment. I would have liked to see more of that. It would have been great if there had been more variety in the houses that conveyed a sense that individual people with their own stories live there. Can we expect more of such things?
David Verfaillie: Our “World Experience” team loves to tell the story of Aeternum through the visual components of the world. There are hints about the world and its history spread throughout the environment. Be sure to look thoroughly at the statues and ships. We want to expand this even further over time. We also have lore notes that tell the story of the regions and some details for those who love to immerse themselves in lore.
More incentives for wars are to come
MeinMMO:We totally understand why you keep emphasizing that wars are at the heart of the game. They feel unique and are a lot of fun. Many players we spoke to could attest to that. However, many also did not really know what they were fighting for. The same goes for open-world PvP. At the moment, both are just for fun. What do you think about this?
David Verfaillie: War is the only way for a company [guild] to gain control of a territory. They play a crucial role in the territory meta-game. Controlling a territory has many advantages, such as determining which direction a territory takes and control over taxes.
But I agree that players who are not in a controlling company do not have significant advantages. We are currently looking at how we can provide strong incentives for everyone in the faction. We hope these incentives will also provide players strong gameplay reasons to participate in wars.
MeinMMO: As a last question, something personal: Which faction did you choose and why?
David Verfaillie: I chose the Covenant. I enjoy role-playing as a righteous fanatic trying to free the land from evil. From a gameplay perspective, the Covenant also usually has the fewest members of the three factions. I like playing the “underdog” role. This means that there are usually many opponents when I activate my PvP flag, and it is a cool challenge to conquer and hold territories.
Before New World launches, there will be another closed alpha test in November with a small group. This will again be subject to a confidentiality clause. It may take some time before we can see and assess the adjustments.
Until then, feel free to check out our impression of the New World preview event. Here you can find out what weaknesses, strengths, and potential we see in Amazon’s new MMO.

The new AS VAL is controversial in Season 6 of Call of Duty Warzone. It causes nasty wallbangs. Now developer Infinity Ward is commenting on the weapon.
Here is the situation with the AS VAL: The assault rifle was introduced in Season 6 into Warzone and the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and has been quickly favored by many players. It is great against campers, but also unfair.
If you have unlocked the AS VAL, you can probably shoot through any wall with the weapon’s armor-piercing rounds and eliminate opponents you can’t even see.
This does not seem to be intended by Infinity Ward, as they have now responded to these problems with the assault rifle.
Infinity Ward promises a soon update
This is what Infinity Ward says now: The developers have a Trello board, where they regularly list known bugs and provide updates on their status.
There is now also a card for the AS VAL. It describes the bug as follows: “AS VAL with SSP 10-R ammunition – allows the rounds to penetrate multiple walls”
The bug is listed under “Known issues for multiplayer” and is supposed to be fixed in the next update. The fix is already available and is just being finalized for testing.
This is the controversial AS VAL.
What does this mean for the players? The AS VAL will be nerfed in the upcoming update, provided that the fix passes the final tests.
It remains to be seen whether you can still shoot through walls after that. In the Trello board, the developers mention multiple walls. However, there is no mention of single walls.
In a new developer livestream, the mounts were showcased in Ashes of Creation. While the gameplay of the beautiful animals was well received by fans, they had a completely different question. When will Alpha 1 for the MMORPG finally start?
What kind of livestream was it? At the end of each month, the developers discuss the current state of Ashes of Creation and continuously showcase new gameplay:
In the September livestream, everything revolved around the mounts in the game. They have various attributes and skills, and some are even meant to be used in combat.
The focus was on the underwater creatures. The tide snapper was shown, which can move slowly on land but particularly quickly in water. The water animations are still far from final, as the developers emphasized. For the land mounts, it’s the exact opposite. They are faster on solid ground but can also swim and move by flailing.
The third category in the game is the air mounts. A simple, downward gliding version can be used by any player. Only the royal mounts allow true flying. However, they are exclusively reserved for mayors of a metropolis or owners of a fortress.

What was bothering the players? While the mounts and the associated gameplay generated a lot of excitement, many players were wondering about the missing information regarding Alpha 1.
Information about previous tests and the upcoming developer letter
What do we know so far about the tests? According to the developers of Intrepid Studios, there have been 3 test phases so far, which took place on a Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday.
Around 440 testers were invited, who purchased the particularly expensive Leaders of Men ($1,000) and Phoenix Initiative ($2,500 and more) packages during the Kickstarter period.
The tests were reported to have been successful, showing many bugs to the developers and generally providing important data.
One of the dungeon bosses in Ashes of Creation that can be defeated in the Alpha.
When will the Alpha start now? Steven Sharif, the game director of the game, stated in the livestream that for Alpha 1, autumn remains the start date. He did not get more specific in the livestream.
However, a new letter from the developers is supposed to arrive on October 8. It will summarize all important information about the MMORPG once a quarter.
It is quite possible that more about the start of Alpha 1 will be revealed there.
The map of Ashes of Creation
In the livestream, alongside the mounts and the tests, there was also a Q&A session. It was revealed that:
players can craft legendary equipment.
at least for the start of the Alpha, there should be no hard cap for AoE skills.
ships will play an important role in the siege of harbor cities.
Additionally, there was a picture of the new world map of Ashes of Creation:
Pokémon GO celebrates Niantic’s birthday today and you can now earn items worth 4 euros in a special research. We will show you all the steps of the research.
What is being celebrated? Niantic is having a birthday and therefore Pokémon GO is giving gifts to the community. In addition to numerous bonuses that are active for 6 hours today, there is also a special research.
In the special research, there are some useful items worth over 4 euros – but you don’t have to spend a cent.
However, the birthday event lasts for only 6 hours, until 5:00 PM. It is not yet known whether this also applies to the special research.

If you catch some Pokémon along the way, you should make the most of your Star Piece.
In addition to the event celebrating Niantic’s birthday, Pokémon GO is also celebrating Fashion Week. In keeping with this, there are currently some special spawns and bonuses:
There is the next big stir about the PlayStation 5. A leak now claims that the PS5, with 825 GB of storage, has nearly 200 GB less free space when all system files are installed and calculated properly.
This is the leak: This leak comes from Russian users on reddit, who allegedly already have a PS5. In the pictures, it can be seen that the free storage space is limited to 664 GB. In the thread about the leak, some users hoped that the system-related files would no longer be included in the 825 GB that the PS5 is supposed to have.
Sony itself only mentioned 825 GB of storage. However, it was not stated whether the system-related files would take away from the storage or not.
You can find the complete overview of all technical specifications of the PS5 here:
Under the leak, a user relativized the reduced storage (via reddit). He claims that the PS5 actually only has 768 GB of free storage if the “marketing error” is deducted.
On the website mac + you, the problem was explained in more detail:
In the digital realm, calculations are done using binary numbers, where 1 kilobyte equals exactly 1024 bytes (i.e., 2^10 bits). Therefore, 1 gigabyte equals 1024^3 bytes, and 1 terabyte equals 1024^4 bytes.
In marketing, however, a kilobyte is typically equated to exactly 1,000.
When converting the actual 1 terabyte (1,000,202,240,000 bytes) and dividing it by the binary value for 1 gigabyte (1,073,741,824 bytes), you get 931 GB, the “real value” of the hard drive without the marketing error.
This problem is said to also affect the PS5 according to the reddit user, which is marketed as having 825 GB of storage.
The same phenomenon also occurs with the Xbox Series X. There, the advertised 1 TB of storage actually means “only” 931 GB again.
What does the leak say about the storage? According to the leak, the PS5’s operating system subtracts another 104 GB. This means that you ultimately only have 664 GB available to download games.
You should keep this in mind: This is only a leak and no official information from Sony. Therefore, you should consider the information with a pinch of skepticism.
With Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a remastered version of the game Marvel’s Spider-Man is being released. For both versions, there will be a new face for Peter Parker aka Spider-Man. However, this new face has received mixed reactions. Some angry fans even sent death threats.
The developers wanted to create better acting performance on the next-gen console PS5 and have cast a new actor. Instead of John Bubniak, who was previously the face in the game, Ben Jordan has now taken on the role, who is also said to resemble the actor Yuri Lowenthal more closely.
However, this change has received mixed reactions from fans. Along with much constructive criticism and discussions among fans, there were also players who took drastic measures and sent death threats to the developers.
This was announced by the Creative Director of Insomniac, Bryan Intihar, on Twitter.
New face meets criticism and death threats
Fans express death threats: According to Bryan Intihar, threats have been sent to the developers, such as “We are hunting you down and will find you. We will make this right now.”

After the tweet, the team from Insomniac received much support from the gaming industry, both from players and from well-known developers like Neil Druckmann, the Vice President of Naughty Dog, or Cory Barlog, the Director of God of War.
How did fans generally react? In a thread on Reddit about Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4, there were generally some critical comments from players:
In the post with the most likes, there is criticism that the new face is supposed to be a downgrade in emotions (via reddit).
Additionally, it was criticized that Peter Parker now looks younger, even too young for many (via reddit).
Moreover, some users are annoyed that the face of Peter Parker, which is rarely seen in the games, was adjusted for next-gen instead of the faces of other characters (via reddit).
However, there are also fans who like the new face (via reddit). Some also hope that this new face could mean that Sony is planning more games with Spider-Man as a character (via reddit).
A large portion of the users there emphasized, however, that the change does not matter much. They reacted with head shaking to boycott calls and the death threats.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be released on both PS4 and PS5. However, those who use the new next-gen console do not need to give up their old game library. 99% of all PS4 titles are said to be playable. Some of them will even look better than in the old generation.

The big “Caves and Cliffs” update for Minecraft has been revealed. Look forward to exciting new caves where new mobs are waiting. You can also prove your skills as an archaeologist.
What’s new in Minecraft? During the Minecraft Live transmission on October 3rd, the Minecraft team presented the next big update for Minecraft. Following the extensive Nether Update in June 2020, the team aims to take another big step and completely overhaul a major theme of the game: caves and mountains.
The new update for Minecraft is called “Caves and Cliffs”
The release is planned for summer 2021
Caves and mountains are the focus of this update
A Christmas update has been omitted
What changes are included in the Caves & Cliffs Update?
The update combines two wishes from players. Improved caves, which have been a wish of the community for years. And an update for the mountains. The mountains are the biome that received the most votes for an overhaul during the Minecon 2019.
The goal of the update is to create more variety in the caves, where players spend so much time mining ores and gems or exploring mines.
New blocks: So far, 3 new blocks have been introduced:
The Sculk Sensor
Stalactites and Stalagmites
Copper Ore
The Sculk Sensor reacts to movement and then emits a redstone signal. With this block, you can build new inventions like “wireless” redstone. In the image, you can see the Wireless Trapdoors:
Stalactites and stalagmites are pointed blocks. If you fall on them, you will take more fall damage. You can see what a cave with such special blocks looks like in the following graphic:
A cave with pointed stones – Just don’t fall on them
You can discover Copper Ore while exploring underground after the update. With copper, you can create lightning rods. But that’s not all. For exciting new houses, you can also use copper in the roof.
A house with copper in the roof looks quite different
If you’re lucky, you might even find the rare crystal geodes. In the screenshot, you can see a cave with the special stones:
With the crystals, you can craft a telescope. This way, you can identify dangers or treasures hiding nearby from a distance of several blocks.
A look through the new telescope in Minecraft
New mobs: The update will introduce two new types of mobs in Minecraft:
Warden
and Axolotl
The Warden are hostile mobs that live in the dark caves. They have the ability to react to movement instead of what they see. They cannot see at all – Wardens are blind. A variation from the Creepers, who can even become your friends underground.
You can distract Wardens with sounds. If you throw a snowball in another direction, you can lure the Warden away from you.
This is what it looks like when you encounter a Warden in Minecraft – But be careful, they are extremely strong
The Axolotl are water beings that can be found in caves. The special thing about them is that they can help you in battles. They attack and even heal. Everything we know about the new Axolotl in Minecraft.
Underwater, Axolotl can be a great help for you
Improved caves: An improved generation of caves should provide more variety while exploring. There will be narrow tunnels, huge caves, lakes in caves, and even underground waterfalls.
New caves include:
Lush Caves
Dripstone Caves
Additionally, there will be a new archaeology system. You can excavate rare, fragile artifacts with a brush item. You also have the chance to discover buried ruins.
Mountains: The mountains in Minecraft are set to be generated differently through the update. You’ll find traps and goats even in the snow. Among the traps is powdered snow. If you step on it, you’ll fall through the snow layer.
The goats blend in well with the snow in Minecraft
More features: Along with all these changes comes the ability to bundle items. This way, you can store a larger amount of certain items in the same slot.
Which update is omitted?
The team says: Because the “Caves & Cliffs” update is so large, the team needs a lot of time for it. Therefore, the traditional Holiday update will be omitted this time.
Originally, an update for the mountains was set to be released for Christmas 2020. However, the team decided to combine the two updates. Both updates share a technical background.
“By combining the two updates, we gave ourselves much more time and opportunities to make this update really what we want, rather than being constrained by time,” revealed Cory Scheviak from Mojang to MeinMMO.
The most anticipated update of all time
Minecraft says: We at MeinMMO had the chance to ask the gameplay team developer of Minecraft, Cory Scheviak, a few questions about the “Caves & Cliffs” update.
MeinMMO: Players have been wishing for a cave update for years. Why is now the right time for it?
Cory Scheviak:
“There are a few reasons why we believe now is the right time for the underground update that players have long yearned for. First, we wanted to ensure that we can actually deliver the epic update that the community has dreamed of for so long. With the bolstering of resources in the team, we feel ready to tackle such a large undertaking now. Second, we wanted to ensure that we bring this update at a time when we can really hear and act on community feedback. Third, we took the time to understand what exactly the community really expects from a cave update. We didn’t want to rush it just because it was in high demand. We took the time to prepare ourselves and the code base for this update. Finally, we wanted to ensure that we could release the update simultaneously on all platforms with full feature parity. Because we want all players to enjoy the same update at the same time, regardless of how and where they choose to play.”
A new cave type in Minecraft: Lush Caves – You can even find them above ground. Because there you can find a special tree – Follow its roots, and you’ll come to a Lush Cave
MeinMMO: Is this huge update part of something big? Will there be more huge updates that will completely revolutionize Minecraft, or will there be smaller updates afterwards?
Cory Scheviak:
“With each major update, we strive to either overhaul or create an important part of the core game. It’s hard to answer what “will revolutionize Minecraft”, but our plan is to continue updating the game extensively in both major and minor ways for the foreseeable future. That said, the cave update is undoubtedly the most requested and anticipated update of all time.”
Why is the cave update so important?
Often requested update: A revamp of the caves in Minecraft has long been requested by players. On the official Minecraft feedback page (via minecraft.net), a request from 2018 shines through. There, over 1000 comments have been lively discussed on the topic of “Caves Update”. The post has gathered more than 58,000 votes, showing how important the topic is to the Minecraft community.
With the new ruins and copper ore there are likely already two important points that will make the underground even more interesting. It will be exciting to find out what you can use the new copper for. It is clear that you can build stairs, steps, and cool lightning rods out of copper in Minecraft.
Buried ruins are likely the perfect content for those of you who have always been looking for mines and hidden rooms underground.
Thanks to these changes, the underground of Minecraft will finally have more to offer than just searching for ores, redstone and diamonds. Moreover, you will find more exciting places like mines.
The Elder Scrolls Online will also receive a new chapter in 2021. But what can we expect after Greymoor and the detour to Skyrim? We at MeinMMO have asked the community and have also listed our own speculations at the end.
What are the chapters about? ESO has been bringing out what are called new chapters every year since 2017 and the expansion Morrowind released at that time. Essentially, these are add-ons, but they are not referred to as such in ESO to avoid confusion with the also-called mods.
Since the chapter Elsweyr in 2019, the major expansions have been accompanied by three DLCs that further deepen the thematic setting. This was also true for the Skyrim setting around Greymoor, and fans expect that it will continue like this in 2021. Therefore, there should again be a big new expansion chapter in the summer, and the new setting should be initiated at the beginning of the year with a dungeon DLC and a prologue quest.
Skyrim was the last setting in ESO.
But where are we heading this time? What will the setting and theme be, and can we once again hope for a new class or something similar? We at MeinMMO have asked the community about this and also share our own speculations and guesses.
ESO Chapter 2021 – Where will the journey take us next?
Here you will find a list of potential and rather unlikely regions for the next chapter of The Elder Scrolls Online.
These popular regions probably aren’t it
Looking at the map of Tamriel, it is already quite well-filled in ESO. Many regions have already come into play, more or less prominently, so they are not really suitable for a new chapter. After all, one wants more than just a small island or a single province of a country that is already in the game. The last four chapters brought huge new areas into the game with the islands of Summerset and Morrowind as well as the provinces of Skyrim and Elsweyr.
Therefore, according to various discussions in the community on reddit, the following regions are more likely to be improbable:
There is still quite a bit of space available.
Valenwood and the Wood Elves: This region was already extensively depicted in the base game, and it is unlikely that there is enough space for a new chapter.
High Rock and the Bretons: As much as this people is desired, their lands have been frequently represented in the base game, and there is hardly enough space to locate an entire chapter in it.
Akavir: This mysterious continent is said by Bethesda to remain mysterious and is unlikely to be used as a setting for a new chapter.
These regions are plausible
Nevertheless, there are still white spots on the map, and fans on reddit speculate on what could come next:
Cyrodiil: 2021 marks the 15th anniversary of the release of the Elder Scrolls game Oblivion, which, despite its name, primarily took place in the central province of Cyrodiil. This region – aside from the Gold Coast from the Dark Brotherhood DLC – has so far only been found in PvP and the Imperial City DLC. However, the Colovian Highlands or Nibenay (after all, the home of Chancellor Abnur Tharn), which are not yet in the game, might make for good settings for the new chapter.
Hammerfell: The province of the Redguards is already in the game in the form of the Alik’r Desert and the peninsula from the Thieves Guild DLC, but there is plenty of space between these two regions. Therefore, fans believe that a whole new chapter could fit here. Additionally, the clueless diplomat Rigurt hints in a final dialogue in Greymoor that he might be sent to the desert next.
Rigurt heard the Skalden king mumble about the distant lands of the forgotten. Or was it the depths of the Alik’r desert?
Rigurt the Rash, Nord Diplomat
With Murkmire, everything from the swamp has actually been shown.
Black Marsh: The swampy homeland of the Argonians is still hardly explored. Only one region was included in the base game, and later the DLC Murkmire. However, there is a lot of room in between for swampy lizard lands. The issue is that a large part of these areas is likely to be uninhabitable and impassable swamp land, where only Argonians can survive. Even if there were new Argonian areas, they would probably look like Murkmire 2.0.
Oblivion: The realms of the forgotten were already represented with the region Coldharbour in the base game. You even start the base game there. Additionally, there is a hint from the rogue diplomat Rigurt, who believes it is likely that he could be sent to the deepest depths of Oblivion, alongside the desert. Curiously, Rich Lambert, the creative director of ESO, recently mentioned in a conversation that there is still plenty of space in the realms of Oblivion beyond the unknown regions of Tamriel. So there might be a lot behind the idea that the journey in 2021 goes to the dimensions of the Daedric princes.
Will the setting come from Oblivion?
Why not combine multiple things at once? A fan also points out that the regions of Cyrodiil and Oblivion could be connected. This would indeed align with the idea behind the game Oblivion from 2006. There, one also traveled between Cyrodiil and the worlds of the Daedra. In this case, the Cyrodiil region would not have to be that large since the Oblivion areas would also be added.
Oblivion and the realms of the Daedra are quite plausible as a new setting.
The Features – New Class or Weapons?
Will there be a new class? According to fans, a new class is highly anticipated. This was already the case in Greymoor when fans on reddit were sure that a bard class would come. However, this did not happen – although the bard college in solitude provided a great opportunity for it.
On the other hand, based on the previous pattern, it seems that a new class is only introduced every odd-numbered year. In 2017, the Warden, in 2019, the Necromancer, and in 2021, by this logic, the next class would be up for grabs. This could very well be the bard. Or some kind of engineer fiddling with the remnants of the steam-punk elves from the vanished Dwemer race.
Engineers would only make sense if the new setting deals with the Dwemer.
At least on reddit, some fans hope for such a class. However, the Dwemer would have to be a part of the new setting and story for the class to fit into the overall picture.
Will we get a new type of weapon? Alternatively to a new class, a new type of weapon could also be introduced. Many fans on reddit wish for this and would actually prefer a new type of weapon that everyone can use, rather than a new class that one would have to start from scratch with.
Magical melee weapons: So far, all magic-based builds have had to use staves. There are no other alternatives. Magic melee weapons would be just right and have been demanded by fans for a long time.
Jürgen’s speculation about the next chapter
As a big ESO fan, I am certainly following the debates about the new chapter with great interest. In my opinion, the theory about a remake of Oblivion sounds the most plausible. Because we actually have relevant regions in Cyrodiil that are not yet in the game, and if a significant part of the next story takes place in the far reaches of Oblivion, that would be a good combination.
You start in Cyrodiil and then keep switching back and forth between the realms of Oblivion in the course of the story. This can then also be combined with DLC dungeons and the big finale DLC at the end of the year.
As for the new class and other features, I am not sure what could be coming. It seems like the most important things are already in the game. The bard as a class focused on support would have fit in nicely, but how that would fit into an Oblivion setting is unclear to me. I also see little hope for an engineer, as real Dwemer would have to provide the setting and I find that unlikely.
Therefore, I much rather think that a new type of weapon will come. And that would be magic weapons, which are possibly adapted to the Oblivion setting in some way.
But enough speculated. What are your ideas and wishes for the new setting in 2021?

The PS5 launch is approaching, and many are asking themselves which title to start with in the next-gen. The shooter expert from MeinMMO, Sven Galitzki, knows exactly what he will play first on the PlayStation 5 – which is not a shooter. And you?
When does the PS5 launch? The launch of the PlayStation 5 is less than two months away.
Here in Germany (and generally in Europe), the PS5 will be officially available from November 19. In the USA, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and some other countries, Sony’s next-gen console will launch a week earlier, on November 12.
Numerous players have already secured a PS5 directly at launch through 2 pre-order waves. Others are still waiting and haven’t completely given up hope for a possible 3rd wave before the release.
Both versions of the PS5 along with accessories
However, for many, one of the most important questions is: What to play at launch?
Which games are available for the PS5 launch? So far, the list of PS5 launch titles is quite manageable. Some highlights, including Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Godfall, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, or the remake of Demon’s Souls, will be available right at the launch of the PS5, but many exciting games will come only some time after the launch, partly not until 2021.
But these are not the only games you can play at launch. Through the backward compatibility feature of the PS5, you will also be able to play a variety of old and new PS4 games. Additionally, some games will receive a next-gen upgrade right at the start of the new Sony console, allowing them to benefit from the additional power of the PS5. More details can be found here: Old PS4 games on the PS5 – Will they all look better?
By the way: PS5 owners with an active PS Plus subscription will receive 18 PS4 games at no additional cost with the PS Plus Collection, right at the launch of the PlayStation 5. More about it can be found here: PlayStation Plus for PS5: These 18 games are free at launch
All PS Plus members will receive this: the PlayStation Plus Collection at launch
There’s definitely a lot to start with right at launch.
No Destiny and not Call of Duty – This will be my first game on the PS5
This is what I will play at launch: Even though many of my friends and gaming buddies already have their favorites among the launch titles, I don’t feel there’s anything for me in that list.
This will celebrate its release on November 19 – which is basically at the same time as the PS5 in Germany – but it is not a next-gen title per se. Because on October 19, Cyberpunk will only be released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It will be playable on the next-gen consoles through backward compatibility and will even receive its first next-gen upgrade. However, the real PS5 version (and also that for the Xbox Series X) is not expected to follow until sometime in 2021.
I can’t wait to finally explore Night City
Why Cyberpunk of all games? I am primarily a shooter lover and prefer to play Destiny 2. But occasionally, I can also get excited about role-playing games – preferably in single-player mode. My absolute favorites include The Witcher 3 and the Mass Effect series, which is apparently getting a remaster soon.
However strong I found The Witcher 3 – I am more into sci-fi, particularly the dystopian sub-genre cyberpunk. And long before the release of The Witcher 3, I always dreamed of finally experiencing an AAA role-playing game with a futuristic setting centered around cyberpunk. Mass Effect already partially fulfilled that (for the sci-fi), and I found these games all great.
But essentially, I have always wished for a kind of “Ghost in The Shell” as an RPG – similarly epic in execution as The Witcher 3. I still love Cyberpunk 2020 as a pen & paper, I love the style and ideas behind cyberpunk. And the setting of the upcoming game from CD Projekt RED, the creators of The Witcher, fits like a glove. When I first read about Cyberpunk 2077 and saw the first trailer, it was clear to me – this will be my game. 100% what I have always wished for. And the more I learned about Cyberpunk 2077, the more my opinion was reaffirmed.
