Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 29.09. – Iron Banner & triple experience

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2 today, on the 29th of September, the weekly reset is back. Starting today, the Iron Banner lures with bonuses, but what else awaits the Guardians?

What is happening in Destiny 2? This Destiny week starts off calmly without an update or lengthy copying process. Bungie continues the “compensation bonuses” for the delay of Beyond Light and grants you triple experience gain in the Crucible.

Coincidentally, Lord Saladin appears in the Tower and will hold the next Iron Banner event of Season 11 until the 6th of October. So you can quickly level up PvP ranks this week and prepare yourself with rare mods and good armor for the DLC.

Even though major updates are planned for autumn, thanks to technical improvements everything is expected to run smoother and relieve your groaning hard drives:

Torchlight 3: Release in a few days – Here’s how it went in Early Access on Steam

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

The release of Torchlight 3 will take place in October on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. We will show you what the game has to offer and how it has performed so far in Early Access.

What’s new? After a few months in Early Access, it is now clear when the release of the action RPG Torchlight 3 will take place.

  • Torchlight 3 will be released on October 13, 2020, on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
  • The release for Nintendo Switch will take place later this year, with no exact date provided.
  • The price of Torchlight 3 will be $39.99.

Since June 2020, Torchlight 3 has been in Early Access. It had a disastrous launch on Steam and faced a lot of criticism. We will show you what to expect in the release version of Torchlight 3 and what the course of the game has been so far.

What to expect on the release of Torchlight 3

What to expect: As usual, you can expect hack and slash battles in Torchlight 3, similar to what you know from the ARPG series. Especially if you love playing with friends, the co-op mode for up to 4 players offers you that opportunity. You can even live in a large fort, if you earn it.

In three acts, you will play the story of the game with many quests and boss fights that you can also experience offline as a single-player.

According to different play styles, TL 3 offers you four classes.

  • Dusk Mage – The spellcasting class that uses light and darkness
  • Robot Smith – A robot with a large arsenal of weapons
  • Rail Fighter – A “locomotive-like powerhouse” that enters battle with a big hammer and a train
  • Sniper – The ranged fighter with precise skills and magical trinkets
Torchlight 3
A look at the classes in Torchlight 3

What is the story about? “Torchlight III takes place a century after the events of Torchlight II, where players defeated the Dark Alchemist and sealed the heart of the Netherlord within the clockwork core. The heroes brought peace to the world of Novastraia, but now the Emberstone Empire is on the brink of collapse, as the Netherim and their allies are back. To save Novastraia, players in Torchlight III must wisely and bravely seek glory, honor, and new adventures on the front line,” the official description states.

In conjunction with the release announcement, there is also new gameplay material:

How has it gone so far for Torchlight 3?

A disastrous start: Right at the beginning, Torchlight 3 did not fare well on Steam. When we reported on it on June 15, two days after the release, 66% of the 2022 reviews on Steam were negative.

  • The combat system was too slow for players
  • The areas were too simple and linear
  • The character development felt uninspired and superficial to players
  • The higher difficulties only changed health points and damage from opponents but did not lead to more challenging behavior
Torchlight Character Pirate

At the end of June, we at MeinMMO took another close look at how things were developing for Torchlight 3. The Steam reviews rose from 34% positive to 43% positive. Players positively noted that the developers were listening to feedback. A major update was released on June 30, bringing more story, new locations, dungeons, and additional bosses and enemies into the game.

What do the ratings look like now? Overall, as of September 29, Torchlight 3 has 4770 ratings on Steam at 6:26 PM. Of those, 46% are positive. The 228 ratings from the last few days look even better, with 56% being positive.

Players write

  • The game still needs work, but is already fun
  • The classes are incredibly enjoyable
  • While different from the predecessors, it feels fresh because of that

Criticisms include

  • lags
  • disconnects
  • poor navigation in quests
  • the suboptimal support for gamepads
  • and the lack of ability to form quick groups in multiplayer

We are curious to see how Torchlight 3 performs at the official release. Are you going to check it out, or have you played it already?

Just in time for the release of the Xbox Series X, the Game Pass will be even cooler

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

EA Play comes to Xbox Game Pass! The news is already known, but now we know that this offer will be available on time for the release of the Xbox Series X.

What has been announced? EA Play will be available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on November 10. This offer includes EA Access and Origin Access and provides Game Pass users with some of the best EA games in subscription form. It was announced a few days ago, but at that time without a release date.

The release date applies not only to owners of the new Xbox Series X but also to all other Xbox consoles.

Therefore, it is now clear that the release of the Xbox Series X will also be a real highlight for all Game Pass users, as it will make the Game Pass even more exciting and worthwhile.

Top EA Games in Game Pass

This is included in EA Play: Over 60 games developed or supported by EA will make their way into the Game Pass. This includes titles such as:

The special thing is that you can play these games at no additional cost. You just need to have a Game Pass subscription and then you can access them.

Here you can see a trailer for EA Play.

How good will the Game Pass be? With the improved Game Pass, Microsoft could attract numerous players. There are already over 100 games in the Game Pass that come from Microsoft. Now over 60 more games are being added.

The Game Pass Ultimate costs 12.99 Euros monthly – for a renewal, you do not necessarily have to spend 10 Euros. Even without EA Play, there were some reasons for buying the Game Pass. Many game highlights are already included, such as:

What about PC players? If you want to enjoy Game Pass only on PC, you will have to wait a bit longer for EA Play. That feature is expected to be released in December, but you will receive the same benefits.

Why is the release date well chosen? EA Play is released directly on the launch day of the Xbox Series X. On that day, many new players will access Microsoft’s console.

If you can promote EA Play directly on launch day, it could attract numerous new customers.

The Game Pass was also one of the reasons why MeinMMO-editor Leya Jankowski is switching from PlayStation to Xbox this year.

FIFA 21: What is included in the Champions Edition and who is it worth for?

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 3 minutes

The release of FIFA 21 is approaching rapidly. We have examined the Champions Edition and will tell you for whom it is worthwhile and whether you should pre-order it.

How to play FIFA 21 earlier: If you can’t wait any longer and want to secure an advantage over other Ultimate Team players, you want to start FIFA 21 as soon as possible.

First, this works with EA Play: The paid membership gives you the opportunity to try out FIFA 21 eight days before release. The catch: The total gameplay time before release is limited to ten hours.

You can only start without a time limit if you are a member of EA Play Pro. However, this version is only available on PC and is therefore of little interest to console players.

With these editions, you get early access to FIFA 21: Unrestricted early access to FIFA 21 can be obtained with the two special versions: the FIFA 21 Champions Edition or the FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition.

Both versions are slightly more expensive than the standard version but allow you to start earlier in the new FIFA season. On October 6, which is 3 days before the release of FIFA 21, you can start with the special editions.

But is the extra cost worth it? We take a look at the Champions Edition and reveal what’s included and for whom it is worthwhile.

The FIFA 21 Champions Edition for PS4, Xbox One, and PC at a glance

  • Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC
  • Release: 06.10.2020
  • Price: 89.99 € (PS4, Xbox One), 79.99 € (PC)
  • Pre-order: You can only get the Champions Edition digitally – for example, in the relevant stores for Xbox One (in the Microsoft Store), PS4 (in the PlayStation Store), and PC (in the Origin Store).
FIFA 21 Champions Edition

The contents of the Champions Edition:

  • The game “FIFA 21”
  • Early access starting October 6
  • Up to 12 Rare Gold Packs (1 per week for 12 weeks)
  • Cover star loan item (Kylian Mbappe) for 5 FUT matches
  • Career mode youth talent from your own academy with world-class potential
  • FUT Ambassador player selection (Choose 1 out of 3 player items for 3 FUT matches)
  • Special Edition FUT kits and stadium items
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

What advantages does the FIFA 21 Champions Edition bring?

What does the extra cost bring? Compared to the standard version of FIFA 21, the Champions Edition is 25 euros more expensive. But what advantages does it offer? And for whom is this surcharge really worth it?

And how does it compare with the Ultimate Edition, which is the most expensive? In terms of gameplay and new features, all editions are identical.

The Champions Edition has its own cover

This is the main argument for the special versions

This is what players want the most: The main reason for purchasing the Champions Edition is likely the early access. With the early access, you can start three days earlier and even build an Ultimate Team while other players are still waiting for the official release.

This early access is also offered by the Ultimate Edition, which, however, costs another 10 euros more.

These bonuses are available in Ultimate Team

Both special editions offer: Both special editions provide identical FUT bonuses: Kylian Mbappe as a loan player for 5 matches and a FUT Ambassador as a loan player for 3 matches. Additionally, there are special kits and stadium items.

The only difference between the Ultimate and the cheaper Champions Edition lies in the number of Rare Gold Packs received:

  • FIFA 21 Champions Edition: 12 Rare Gold Packs
  • FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition: 24 Rare Gold Packs

Otherwise, both editions are identical in content. The OTW player that the Ultimate Edition had available for pre-orders until August 14 is no longer available.

Should I buy the Champions Edition or not?

Get the Champions Edition if you… 

  • absolutely want to start on October 6.
  • are planning to invest real money in FIFA Points in packs anyway.
  • want the advantage of the extra packs. However, please note that you will not receive all packs at once.
  • are willing to spend 25 euros more for these benefits.

Only get the Ultimate Edition if you…

  • want to start on October 6.
  • absolutely want the 12 extra packs that only this version offers.

Instead, get the Standard Edition if you…

  • don’t necessarily have to start earlier in FIFA 21.
  • have no interest in FUT.
  • don’t want an exclusively digital version of the game.

What about you? Do you value the benefits in FUT and an early start in FIFA 21? Which version of FIFA 21 will you choose?

In CS:GO, 37 coaches are banned for cheating – It’s already being referred to as ‘The Purge’

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

In Counter-Strike Global Offensive, there is a huge cleanup operation. Since 2017, coaches in e-sports for CS:GO have allegedly been cheating by exploiting a bug. It is already being referred to as “The Purge,” the great cleansing. However, the 37 coaches are apparently just the tip of the iceberg.

How did they cheat? The e-sports referee Michal Slowinski explains the exploit. Essentially, on a map at a certain spot, one can “bug” in such a way that one can move freely over the map like in spectator mode.

This allows players to see exactly how the opponent is playing and pass that information to their team in CS:GO. The camera can be moved freely.

Knowing exactly where the opponent is and how they proceed offers enormous advantages.

This “spectator” bug has somehow been in CS:GO since at least 2017 and has circulated in the scene. Allegedly, coaches have stumbled upon this bug by chance over and over again. Some coaches have dutifully reported the exploit to tournament organizers. Others, however, have apparently exploited it.

Cheater situation has been pending for a month

This is what was known so far: A month ago, at the beginning of September 2020, the ESL issued bans against 3 pro coaches who had exploited the bug. The coaches received bans of up to 2 years.

Even then, it was clear: the situation with the 3 bans is not over but is just beginning.

The ESL then stated, “Guys, if you also cheated, come forward; everything is being investigated now.”

CSGO0 Header Title
CS:GO is targeting cheaters.

So it is now: The “Esports Integrity Commission” has now presented its investigation. They have to review 15 terabytes of material and have received nearly 100,000 demos from ESEA and HLTV. They are only 20% through with the review.

  • The good news is: Evidence of cheating has been found in only 0.1% of the demos.
  • The bad news: With the large amount of data, that is still quite a lot. In the meantime, further penalties have been imposed on 37 coaches from CS:GO. The penalties and offenses are listed in a table (via esic).
  • The final report is expected at the end of October.

The bans range from 3 months in the lightest case up to 3 years: Someone extensively exploited the bug.

One ban of a coach who had already been punished a month ago has now been extended: MechanoGun, who was previously banned for two years, is now the coach who has been banned for 3 years. His team “Hard Legion” had already released him.

Those who are banned are not allowed to have contact with their team 15 minutes before match start. They cannot be physically near the match, must leave the server and Discord, and cannot interfere with the map selection.

Coach admits to cheating, receives 60% discount on his penalty

How to deal with this now? In the CS:GO community, at HLTV, the action against the coaches is already being called “The Purge” – the great cleansing. The incidents have been occupying the community for 4 weeks now. Individual coaches have repeatedly come forward, stating that they also used the bug. More and more horror reports have emerged regarding how many would be affected.

Some coaches had already confessed behind closed doors. They received milder penalties.

Coach “guerri” from FURIA was supposed to receive a penalty of 10 months. However, because he confessed earlier, 6 months of his penalty were waived. guerri is now satisfied with his ban. He is glad to have that behind him.

The issue has been concerning CS:GO for weeks – Which coach is guilty?

Teams are dealing with coaches differently:

  • Some teams want to continue working with their coaches and support them. The team OG Esports stated that they wanted to give their coach a second chance (via twitter)
  • Other teams, however, have immediately parted ways with their coaches.

The commission states: There is no way to determine whether the teams and players of the convicted coaches knew what was going on. Therefore, they urge fans not to speculate.

In a statement, the commission says: They understand how tough the revelations are for many in the CS:GO community but believe it is ultimately for the best for the game and esports to confront these problems sincerely.

In any case, it is a drastic development that calls the integrity of 3 years of esports into question.

CSGO Skeletton
Cheaters are a constant annoyance in CS:GO esports.

CS:GO is a shooter that has traditionally been associated with cheating. This has been the case since time immemorial and is no different in 2020. It is important for all esports athletes and viewers that CS:GO feels secure and fair. Those who cheat will always have in mind whether they will eventually be found out.

Because ultimately, the misconduct haunts the cheaters:

Cheaters were only discovered at a CS:GO tournament after they had won.

Genshin Impact: Many play the female twin – Does the choice make a difference?

Larissa Then Larissa Then Reading time 2 minutes

In the co-op RPG Genshin Impact, you have the choice between the two main characters Lumine and Aether. In this case, the girl Lumine is favored in the community. But does it really make a difference which twin you choose?

In the co-op RPG Genshin Impact, you have the choice between two main characters. These are the twins Lumine and Aether, a girl and a boy.

The new game is popular in the community. And many players choose the protagonist Lumine. This is also shown by a poll on reddit from user Shironeko_25, in which 781 players participated:

  • 259 Aether
  • 423 Lumine
  • 99 undecided

Here, players’ personal preference clearly leans towards the female heroine. Ultimately, it’s more about personal taste. Which twin you choose is actually not that important. We from MeinMMO will tell you what we know about the siblings.

Genshin Impact Title Gacha
The sweet Lumine (left) is a fan favorite

The agony of choice with the main character

What can the main characters do? Ultimately, it is completely up to you which of the two twins you choose. Lumine and Aether have the same story as well as the same abilities. Both fight with a sword and elemental attacks, and their stats are the same at the start:

  • Max HP – 912
  • Attack – 41
  • Defense – 57
  • Max Stamina – 100

Which of the two you choose is therefore a matter of personal taste, as you will have to watch their back all the time. And if you did make the wrong choice, you can still switch to your new characters.

You can unlock them through Genshin Impact’s gacha system. Here, getting a character or weapon of the highest tier is ridiculously low.

Fischl Genshin Impact
Fischl is a very strong character in Genshin Impact

What is the background? The story of Genshin Impact begins with a cutscene and both twins. They encounter a rather hostile goddess during their journey through the dimensions, who promptly attacks them.

Then you come into play and have to choose one of the two twins during the battle. The other will be kidnapped by the goddess, and you will be left alone.

As you might guess, you then try to find your only family member with the chosen protagonist. You can freely name your character and unlock new companions on your journey. We from MeinMMO will also tell you which of these characters are the best.

Pokémon GO: Home is coming this year and finally brings back Shiny Meltan

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Later this year, you will be able to connect Pokémon GO with Pokémon HOME. We will show you what benefits this brings.

What’s new: The developers of Pokémon GO, Niantic, provided an important update about a feature today, on September 29.

Pokémon HOME was first announced in February. However, it has been quite quiet on the topic since the announcement. Now it is known that it will collaborate with Pokémon GO later this year.

What is Pokémon HOME? The service allows you to manage your monsters from all current Pokémon games in a cloud. You can:

  • trade globally with other players
  • store them there
  • or transfer them from one game to another.

What changes for you in Pokémon GO due to Pokémon HOME

What does this bring? Once the integration is available, there will be limited-time events in Pokémon GO focused on specific Pokémon. You will be able to activate a Mystery Box after you have sent a Pokémon from GO to Pokémon HOME. If you open the box during the Celebration event, you can encounter Shiny Meltan.

What you need to know about the Mystery Box for Pokémon, we will show you here.

The chance to catch the Shiny Meltan was previously available in the game but only for a limited time. Currently, you cannot catch a Shiny Meltan. With the new event, Shiny hunters will finally get the chance again.

So after a long time, you will finally get the chance for Shiny Meltan

When the Celebration event will take place is still unclear. Niantic will provide more details later.

More new Shinys? With the launch of Pokémon HOME more Shiny forms of Formeo appeared. So far, you could only catch the Shiny of the normal form of Formeo in Pokémon GO. However, not the sun, snow, and rain forms.

Will these 3 Shinys come to Pokémon GO soon?

The three new Shiny forms are basically the figurehead of the HOME service. It is possible that they will find their way to Pokémon GO through the new integration later this year. This also aligns with the data mining findings. Because recently, the 3 new Shiny forms of Formeo have appeared in the game data of Pokémon GO.

An exact date for when the integration of Pokémon HOME and GO will take place is not yet known. Official sources state that it should happen “later this year.” We are already excited to see what the Celebration event for this feature will look like.

FFXIV or the new FFXVI? Head of both games clearly sets his priorities

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 3 minutes

The director and producer of Final Fantasy XIV is also working on the latest main installment in the series: Final Fantasy XVI. However, he does not intend to neglect his MMORPG because of this.

This is the situation: A few weeks ago, Square Enix announced the continuation of their main series with Final Fantasy XVI. The game is being directed by Naoki Yoshida and his Creative Business Unit III.

Yoshida is also responsible for the MMORPG FFXIV. There he simultaneously holds the roles of director and producer, so he is quite busy.

Accordingly, the question arose for many players regarding how Yoshida’s priorities would now be distributed in development.

What did Yoshida say? During the Tokyo Game Show stream, Yoshida shared a few words about his work on the two major games.

In response to a question from co-developer Yoko Taro about whether FFXVI content would also be shown in the stream, Yoshida laughed and said:

No, today in the program there is only FFXIV […] We want to focus on the development of FFXIV until 2021.[…]

Yoshida during the TGS

Apart from a teaser page, we should not expect any major news about FFXVI before 2021. However, FFXIV has a lot of content in the pipeline.

von Irina Moritz

What is still planned for FFXIV until the end of 2020?

What’s next in October: For FFXIV, several major content updates are expected before the end of 2020. The first of these goes online on October 13.

It will continue the questline regarding the Bozjan South Front, where players can further enhance their “Queen’s Weapons.” They are the Shadowbringers equivalent to the relic weapons from earlier expansions.

In the Bozjan update, players can expect large instanced battles involving up to 72 participants. In addition to weapon upgrades, there will also be other rewards such as mounts and companions.

During the upcoming producer live stream on October 9, we will surely learn more about it and see gameplay footage.

More on the topic
Final Fantasy XIV: What is Bozja and why will it be important for us soon?
von Irina Moritz

Yoshida explained in the TGS stream that this update was slightly delayed. The reason for this was that the development team took a break during this time.

Normally, the break would have occurred in the summer, but that was not possible. Due to the corona lockdown, the team was already behind schedule with the major patch 5.3 and wanted to complete that as quickly as possible.

What’s next in December: Additionally, Yoshida provided a rough timeframe for the release of the next major content patch 5.4 during the TGS stream: The team is aiming for a release in December 2020.

This patch will, as always, continue the story of FFXIV, which now builds up to the next expansion. In addition, the final part of the Eden raid will be released.

Players will experience the conclusion of the Eden story and will be able to obtain new powerful equipment from the regular and epic boss battles.

Gaia is the key NPC in the Eden raid storyline

What else is planned? Originally, the first of the three fan festivals for FFXIV was supposed to take place in November. However, due to corona, both the event in the USA and the one in Japan have already been canceled. Europe is currently still uncertain, even though it is supposed to take place at the end of February 2021.

Traditionally, new expansions of FFXIV are introduced at these fan festivals. The team has been known for a while to be working on the next expansion.

However, it is still unclear how exactly it will be presented to the players. Square Enix could follow the example of other fairs and festivals, such as gamescom 2020 or BlizzConline by Blizzard, and hold a purely online event.

Whether they will actually do that or find another solution remains to be seen.

Boogie2988: With a parody of the typical nerd, he became a famous YouTuber.

Frank Hassle is a significantly smaller content creator who is currently banned from YouTube. He is a troll of the hard kind: His content consists of harassing people and amusing himself over their reactions.

Daniel “Keemstar” Keem is a third YouTuber who acts as a host and tournament organizer, covering current topics from the community while gladly pouring gasoline on any fire he can find. His main show is called “Drama Alert” and lives up to the name.

Boogie has felt harassed by Hassle for 3 months

This is how the feud unfolded: For three months, Boogie has been targeted by Frank Hassle. Hassle has made a joke out of suggesting he would go to Boogie’s home, ring his doorbell, and then do God-knows-what with him.

The YouTube star warned him that if he did that, he would shoot at him. He suffers from an anxiety disorder. Frank Hassle is threatening him. Boogie will protect himself, his property, and his loved ones with the weapon.

Hassle finds this incredibly funny, and every threat seems to only egg him on more.

The roles were clearly defined: Frank Hassle was the aggressor – Boogie from the beginning was on the defensive and in the victim role.

Frank Hassle shared his location with Boogie

How the feud actually began is not entirely clear. Allegedly, Hassle blames the YouTube star for his own channel being banned on YouTube.

However, Boogie denies this and stated that Hassle had already written on Reddit at the very beginning that he wanted to come to his home. Hassle denies this again.

https://twitter.com/Boogie2988/status/1310472741917732864
Boogie says: He did not have Hassle’s channel deleted. He is really tired of being the victim.

Apparently, fans have further fueled this conflict: Boogie is someone who currently reacts sensitively to harassment. Frank Hassle is someone who mercilessly harasses people. Apparently, some found it funny to pit one against the other.

“Go ahead, you pussy”

This happened just before the shot: The dispute escalated further on social media. Keemstar got wind of the matter and invited both to a video interview on his show “Drama Alert”. They both hyped each other up even more:

  • Frank Hassle hinted that he was already “in Boogie’s town” and would come by soon
  • Boogie said on one hand, he should definitely not do that. Hassle triggers an anxiety disorder in him. Boogie said he hadn’t slept for 24 hours. Hassle triggers his post-traumatic stress disorder, and that is all driving him crazy. On the other hand, he also said: He should come by – then he would end Frank Hassle’s life.

The interview was so explosive that Keemstar decided not to publish it right away. He was apparently concerned about Boogie’s mental state, who seemed distressed in the show and made multiple threats.

Ultimately, both had talked themselves into a no-win situation with their public statements: Both had threatened each other and urged the other to carry out the threat.

Apparently, neither wanted to back down now.

Even after the interview, they continued discussing. Boogie calls Hassle a pussy and says “Come on, come on.” He repeatedly threatens to kill him, while Hassle finds this roaringly funny. Keemstar tries to calm Boogie, saying he must realize what kind of troll Hassle is and that the reaction only further eggs him on.

This image of Boogie with the weapon was shared last night shortly before 11 PM.

This is how it ended: There are now recordings of Frank Hassle showing up at Boogie’s house and continuing to insult him there. He stands at the front door, rings the bell, yells insults, and calls Boogie cowardly and fat. Hassle demands: “He should shoot” and carry out his threat.

Then you can hear Boogie actually firing a warning shot.

There are only audio recordings of the shot, but apparently, Hassle is indeed impressed by the warning shot and finally leaves the property. Hassle seems unable to believe that Boogie actually has a weapon. The two continue to insult each other further, but the fire is a bit out.

https://twitter.com/f7u12s/status/1310719997635952643

Incident apparently has legal consequences

This is what Boogie says now: In a video, Boogie portrays the other as a “stalker”. He was only defending himself. He uses this as an example of why you should never go to a YouTuber’s house. Someone could have seriously been harmed during the incident.

He cannot say much more about it, as it is now an ongoing police investigation.

Boogie says he has more recordings of the incident, cannot show them on YouTube, but has turned them over to the authorities.

Boogie apparently now wants to sue Hassle and issue him a restraining order, prohibiting Hassle from coming near him (via twitter).

Relentless troll against “Leave me alone already”

This is what it is about: When you watch the interview with the two, you can see how difficult the situation is (via storyfire):

  • Boogie apparently has mental health issues and keeps warning people to leave him alone. He sounds like someone who is cornered and sees no way out. He repeatedly calls Hassle a liar and says his accusations are totally unfounded – but that hardly bothers Hassle.
  • On the other hand, Frank Hassle keeps laughing and shows absolutely no empathy. He presents himself as someone who finds all of this incredibly funny and who cannot be touched anyway. He stands for everything that is funny, and this is just hilarious.
  • Even Keemstar seems to find the situation increasingly uncomfortable, which he has created. He tries to be objective.

From a German perspective, it is quite irritating that Boogie presents it as the most normal thing in the world to shoot at intruders with a weapon. In Germany, one would urgently advise calling the authorities in such a case and not taking the law into one’s own hands.

YouTube-Paar
A fan once broke into their home.

It seems to be a real danger for YouTubers that fans show up at their homes. In 2018, this happened to a YouTube couple. A mentally disturbed fan was apparently in love with the woman and drove 11 hours to their home. The intruder then died during a shootout with the police:

Excitement about new LoL champion Samira – Too strong and too complex

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

The new champion in LoL (League of Legends) was initially way too strong and has a crazy deep passive ability. In the past, champions in LoL were significantly easier to understand, as a comparison shows.

Who is it about? Samira has only been active in League of Legends for a few days. She came into the game as the new ADC in Patch 10.19 and was really strong right from the start. Even too strong. On day one, she had to be nerfed by Riot Games via a hotfix.

The developers reduced her base health points and her ultimate became weaker. However, anyone who wants to start playing her and understand the character must first wade through a lot of text. This was not the case with older champions at all.

Samira’s complex ability compared to other champions

The passive ability is that complicated: LoL champions are often equipped with 4 abilities. A fifth is passive. In Samira’s case, the peculiarity is that she can equip herself with guns or swords, making her either a melee or ranged fighter. With each hit on an enemy champion, she increases her style ranking from “E” to “S”. However, each hit must differ from the previous one for the rank to increase.

The higher you are in the style rank, the faster you move with Samira. Once you reach rank “S”, you can activate the strong ultimate ability.

To do this, Samira throws enemies into the air when they have been hit by hard CC within a certain range.

This passive ability also has some details that players need to consider. On Samira’s page on Fandom.com, the passive ability is explained as follows:

LoL Samira Fandom

In comparison to other champions, it almost feels like an essay that you have to read carefully to understand what is actually happening.

With Dr. Mundo, it’s quite different:

LoL Mundo Fandom
Dr. Mundo’s passive ability – Simple and easy to understand – Source: LeagueOfLegends.Fandom.com

Also with Kassadin, it is clear: He can move permanently through minions and takes less magic damage:

LoL Kassadin Fandom
Source: LeagueOfLegends.Fandom.com

When playing the marksman Sivir for the first time, you quickly understand: Okay, if I hit an opponent with an attack, I run a bit faster.

LoL Sivir Fandom
LeagueOfLegends.Fandom.com

All three champions compared, Dr. Mundo, Kassadin, and Sivir, were released early in LoL – They were released in 2009. At that time, such simple mechanics were still a unique feature.

However, over time, more and more new champions have been introduced to the MOBA. By now, in September 2020, we have reached 151 heroes in LoL. For the new characters to find a place in LoL, they must be unique. The developers had to move away from the simplicity of attacks. And this is evident, among other things, in Samira’s passive ability.

It gets more complex: The mechanics with which new champions are now released in the game are more complex than with some “old” champions.

  • With Senna , you have to manage souls from dead units
  • The ADC Aphelios comes with 5 weapons that affect his abilities

Players are noticing this as well and are posting memes as comparisons:

The player jokes that he is still busy reading the long descriptive text of Aphelios’ passive ability.

How does this affect? Especially for casuals, this is a significant shift in LoL. Those who logged in before and tried out a new champion like the bomb-throwing Ziggs quickly got the hang of it through trial and error. Q throws an AOE bomb, W throws a detonator that can be activated again with a second press, and so on.

Today, you read through the descriptions of the champions and immediately face many more situations and niches that you have to understand first.

What do you think? Do you also find that the heroes are becoming more complex, and is that good? Soon there will be a major change regarding critical hits in LoL, but players want to abolish the whole mechanism.

What’s new in CoD Modern Warfare and Warzone: Today, on September 29, 2020, at 8:00 AM, the new Season 6 has launched in Modern Warfare and the Battle Royale Warzone.

We have summarized the most important details and information for you:

What’s the deal with the new Battle Pass? The new season brings plenty of new content, such as maps and modes, but also a new Battle Pass with a total of 100 Tiers is traditionally included.

This offers a free reward branch that is free for all players and where you can unlock all gameplay-relevant items, such as the new base weapons.

However, there is also a paid premium branch that costs €10 or 1,000 CoD points and offers more cosmetic rewards. This will earn you a reward at each of the 100 Tiers.

Additionally, there is also a season pass bundle for 2,400 CoD points, which not only provides access to the premium branch but also allows for 20 tier skips.

But what kind of rewards are in Season 6?

What the new Battle Pass for Season 6 offers

You receive this immediately upon purchase: If you purchase the new Battle Pass for Season 6 – whether for €10 or the large bundle – the following will be unlocked directly upon purchase:

  • Farah as a new operator with the Halmasti skin
  • The Poloski skin for Minotaur
  • A new blueprint for the AK assault rifle
  • Along with XP boost tokens

With the purchase of the Battle Pass bundle, you also get the 20 tier skips on top.

Here are all the rewards from the new Battle Pass in the video: If you purchase the Battle Pass, you will receive a reward at all 100 tiers. If you don’t spend money, there are rarer free unlockable rewards, but all gameplay-relevant items are available.

You can see all the rewards in a compact video summary here. Items marked with “Free” are also available without premium access:

  • At Tier 15, you can unlock the first new weapon – the new DMR SP-R 208 (essentially it’s the R700 sniper as a DMR)
  • At Tier 18, there is a cool new finishing move – the bat “Edward” that you can scare your opponents with
  • At Tier 31, you can unlock the 2nd new weapon – the automatic rifle AS VAL
  • At Tier 50, there’s a cool operator skin with a German look
  • At Tier 55, a nice blueprint for the crossbow is waiting for you
  • At Tier 85, you can unlock a stylish weapon blueprint for the new SP-R 208
  • Tier 93 offers a sleek hologram watch
  • Finally, waiting at the last Battle Pass tier, among other things, are the new operator Nikolai and a cool weapon blueprint for the new AS VAL

Learn more about the two new weapons here: CoD MW & Warzone: Unlocking new weapons AS VAL and SP-R 208 in Season 6 – Here’s how

What do you think? Are you getting the new Battle Pass in Season 6? Is there anything you absolutely want? Or are all the new items completely cold for you?

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour with Eneco – Finally Exciting Again

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the Spotlight Hour with Eneco starts today, on September 29. The event is finally getting exciting again.

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

Today, Eneco is in the spotlight. After the Spotlight Hour was disappointing last week, there’s now a really good event hour again.

Spotlight Hour with Eneco – Here’s what you can expect

When does the event take place? It starts today at 6:00 PM local time. The bonuses will be active for one hour.

What bonuses are there? Eneco will appear significantly more frequently for an hour, and the overall spawns are increased. Additionally, there will be double Stardust for catching Pokémon.

This is probably the best bonus of a Spotlight Hour, as Stardust is the most important resource in the game.

Is there Shiny Eneco? Yes! You can also catch the monster in its shiny form. However, you need to look a bit closer, as Shiny Eneco is only slightly lighter than the normal form.

Pokémon GO Shiny Eneco

That’s why it’s good again: Last week there was nothing good. Habitak was in the spotlight, couldn’t be Shiny, and there was a disappointing XP bonus for evolving monsters.

This week is looking much better. With Eneco, there’s a possible Shiny, which hasn’t been in the game for that long. Some trainers should still be missing the shiny version.

There’s also the double Stardust, which you can even turn into triple Stardust with a Star Piece.

So there’s a useful Pokémon and a good bonus. These are both things that were not available last week.

What’s next: Also in the coming weeks, some exciting Spotlight Hours and other events are waiting for you. Niantic has already announced all 4 Spotlight Hours for October.

Company disassembles PS5 DualSense controller – These cool things are noticeable

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

A company has disassembled an unofficial PS5 DualSense Controller. Here, for the first time, you can see the features and the battery.

Who is behind it? Evzen Elite Technology manufactures various custom controllers, including a DualShock 4 controller and an upgrade kit. The manufacturer describes itself as a “specialist in high-performance controllers” (via Evzen-Elite.com).

Evzen Elite has now posted on Instagram how they disassembled the unofficial DualSense controller:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CFc7RtFgt2P/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading

For the first time, you can see what the new controller actually looks like from the inside.

Gameplay with the DualSense: In action, the controller could already be seen earlier, as journalist Geoff Keighly had the opportunity to test the PS5 DualSense controller during the Summer Game Fest 2020:

PS5 DualSense Teardown Shows Features of the New Controller

This is what you see on the outside: Some things that can be seen were already known beforehand:

  • You can clearly see the USB-C port in the pictures, which replaces the Micro-USB port of the DualShock 4.
  • The pictures also show the surface of the controller, which is designed for better grip.
This is what the pictures of the disassembled controller look like. The white rectangle on the circuit board (top left) on the controller is for example the microphone.

This is what you see on the inside:

  • At the bottom, you can also recognize the USB-C port that was seen on another picture from the outside.
  • The thumbsticks of the controller are firmly connected to the (green) circuit board like in the DualShock 4 and are very similar in construction to the thumbsticks of the DualShock 4.
  • It is also noticeable that the black front panel, in which the thumbsticks are seated, can also be removed.
  • One of the photos also shows us the adaptive triggers. The adaptive triggers are supposed to provide a particularly intense gaming experience with their haptic feedback (via GamePro.de). The controller can block the R2 triggers to indicate that the weapon is jammed. And games like Horizon Forbidden West are also expected to utilize the adaptive triggers for simulating firearms.
  • The built-in microphone can be recognized on the circuit board as a small rectangular (white) box.
Image source: fixit.com – For comparison of the DualShock 4: Here you remove the entire front panel of the controller.

PS5 games only work with the DualSense: Sony also explained why the DualShock controller does not work with PS5 games: For the new features of PS5 games, you need the PS5 DualSense controller absolutely.

Unlock new weapons AS VAL and SP-R 208 in Season 6 of CoD MW & Warzone – Here’s how

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

With Season 6 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone come a few new weapons to the game: the assault rifle AS VAL and the DMR SP-R 208. Find out here how to unlock them.

What kind of weapons are these? Just like with the last 5 Battle Passes, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone also with Season 6 get fresh, new rifles:

  • AS VAL: Soviet assault rifle from the late 80s – has built-in silencers in all barrels
  • SP-R 208: The DMR resembles the American bolt-action rifle Remington 700

With this, the 13th assault rifle comes to the current CoD. This could be particularly exciting for Warzone, as most assault rifles offer wide versatility and “all-round weapons” are particularly in demand in the Battle Royale. Find out here how to get them.

  • cod modern warfare warzone weapons season 6 SP-R 208
  • cod modern warfare warzone weapons season 6 AS VAL

Battle Pass Season 6 brings 2 new weapons to CoD

How do I get the guns? You can unlock the new rifles through the Season 6 Battle Pass. They are part of the free rewards branch, and even if you don’t purchase the Battle Pass for 1,000 CoD points, you will receive the items once you complete the respective level:

  • DMR Foxtrot – SP-R 208 at level 15
  • Assault rifle Mike – AS VAL at level 31

Once you have completed the specified level, you can use the weapons for your arsenal. You should plan 45 – 60 minutes of playtime for one level of the Battle Pass. Whether the Pass is worth it for you can be read here:

More on the topic
Buy CoD Modern Warfare: Battle Pass or not – who is it worth it for?
von Sven Galitzki

Can I get them faster? If you want the weapons without starting the big Battle Pass grind, you basically have 3 options:

  • Play during the next double XP event
  • Buy a bundle for CoD points in the shop
  • Skip Battle Pass tiers with so-called Tier Skips

With a double XP event, you only need half the normal time, as you earn double the points for the Battle Pass. Pay attention during the events that “Battle Pass Tiers” are really doubled. Sometimes there is only double weapon or account XP.

You can also purchase a paid bundle with the weapon in the shop. Select the gun in the weapon selection, and to the right of the field with the weapon, another field opens that says “Shop”. If you click on it, you will come to a bundle that contains the weapon. However, you only get the weapon configuration from the bundle – you cannot freely equip the weapon with attachments.

For the third option, you would need to shell out a hefty chunk of cash. Using “Tier Skips,” you could unlock the entire Battle Pass immediately. This would cost 15,000 CoD points, which, depending on the points package, is up to 150,- €. For the weapons, you need:

  • SP-R 208 – 2,250 CoD points for 15 tiers (just over 20,- €)
  • AS VAL – 4,650 CoD points for 31 tiers (between 40,- & 50,- €)
MW-S6-Announce-BP-Bundle
The Battle Pass brings over 100 in-game items to unlock.

Are the guns worth it?

It’s still too early to say where the two new rifles will rank. The patch notes from update 1.27 are still hot.

However, after an initial round in a private game, it is noticeable that the AS VAL feels more like an SMG, with a high rate of fire and vertical recoil upwards. For Warzone, this piece may be less exciting, as the magazine only holds a maximum of 30 rounds, which is somewhat too small for Battle Royale. Perhaps an interesting small 10-round magazine will increase penetration and change the fire mode to semi-automatic.

The DMR SP-R 208 looks at first glance like a mix between the Kar 98k and the MK2 Carbine. The shots feel more powerful than the carbine, but not as penetrating as the Kar. Moreover, the SP-R offers a colorful selection of attachments, which should make it suitable for different applications.

Judging by first impressions, the two new guns are not necessarily among the best weapons in Warzone. But how they will actually perform will only become apparent in the coming days. Until then, MeinMMO wishes you a cheerful “Battle Pass” leveling.

Genshin Impact: The chance of 5-star characters is frighteningly tiny

Larissa Then Larissa Then Reading time 3 minutes

The co-op RPG Genshin Impact has published the probabilities for 5-star characters and weapons. Those hoping for the most valuable items must be blessed by luck or open a lot of boxes.

What is Genshin Impact? The free-to-play co-op RPG was released on September 28 for PC, PS4, and Android and iOS devices. At a later date, Genshin Impact will also be released for the Switch. In addition, the developers have expressed plans for next-gen consoles.

In this game, you travel through a colorful fantasy world in anime style. From Adventure Rank 16, you can team up with up to 3 other players. This allows you to do RPG-typical things like complete quests, conquer dungeons, or take down bosses.

You can acquire new characters either for free or through the gacha system. Through the loot boxes, you can obtain characters and weapons with a value of 4 or 5 stars, but the probability is extremely low.

This is what it looks like with the gachas in Genshin Impact

First play the gacha lottery

The co-op RPG is free to play and naturally needs to finance itself somehow. A loot box system is certainly an option for this, although it is controversial in the gaming community.

How likely are the characters? To get new heroes and weapons, you need to purchase the premium currency Primogems. You can also earn them by completing certain quests or through a monthly subscription. With Primogems, you can then buy boxes, the contents of which you obviously do not know.

However, the chances of getting the rare characters and weapons are vanishingly low. These numbers are officially confirmed by Genshin Impact:

  • The probability of a character or weapon with 5 stars is 0.6%
  • For 4 stars, it is at least 5.1%

And then you have a 0.6% chance of getting a random 5-star character or weapon. So if you want a specific character, it could take a very long time or become very expensive.

Genshin Impact Start Title
The anime-style characters are colorful and versatile in their abilities

Is there a way out? However, Genshin Impact has something called the pity system or a pity pull. This means that with every 10th pull, you are guaranteed a 4-star character or weapon. For the more valuable 5-star items, it is every 90th pull. So you should have enough gems to reach your guaranteed item.

Otherwise, there is unfortunately no way out. However, beta players reported that it is not necessary to obtain new characters and weapons through loot boxes. The items you receive while playing are more than sufficient. However, over time, this may become boring for some.

The community takes it with humor

In the community, Genshin Impact is well received. However, the issue with the gachas in the Genshin Impact subreddit is a big topic. Here, people discuss and joke about the pain and despair that come with such a loot box. The community is divided but takes it with dark humor.

The gachas are associated with a grieving cat

Besides all the memes on Reddit, the topic is unfortunately a nuisance for some players. Many free-to-play games have this problem: The question arises whether Genshin Impact employs a pay-to-win system or not. The real influence of characters and weapons will likely only become apparent over time.

New online RPG comes to Steam, lock yourselves like Sword Art Online in a virtual reality MMORPG

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

With Floor 100, a new MMORPG on Steam reminiscent of the anime Sword Art Online is expected in early 2021. You are trapped in a virtual reality MMORPG and must escape.

What is Floor 100? The online RPG is played from a 2D iso perspective, thus resembling games on the SNES. You can choose whether to be a warrior, scout, or cleric and further enhance your hero with a second and third class.

In addition to battles against monsters and exploring dungeons, there are activities such as fishing, cooking, herbalism, forging, and alchemy. Housing also plays an important role. There will also be PvP and large events.

Floor 100 Screenshot 1
The MMORPG Floor 100 visually resembles SNES games.

What makes Floor 100 special? The online role-playing game, which will be released on Steam, follows a similar principle to the anime Sword Art Online. Your character is stuck in a virtual reality MMORPG and must find a way to escape.

To do this, you fight your way through 100 worlds, called 100 floors. At the end of each world, a dangerous boss enemy awaits you. If you manage to defeat it, you will travel to the next world. There, you improve your hero further to take on the next boss. This way, you continually progress until you find the exit after 100 worlds.

How does the multiplayer work? You are certainly not alone in the MMORPG. It is possible to team up with other players. This improves your chances – especially in boss fights.

However, there is also rivalry among players. It is about earning special rewards by being the strongest, fastest, prettiest, or richest player in the respective world.

You must therefore try to fight your way up the leaderboards.

When will the game be released? Floor 100 is scheduled to launch on January 16, 2021, via Steam. The website mentions a cash shop, indicating a free-to-play release.

Do you want to know which MMORPGs you should not check out in 2020? In the MeinMMO article “The 15 currently best MMOs and MMORPGs 2020” you will find a selection.

PS5 Controller – All details with images, design and features

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 6 minutes

Sony has released information about the design, features, and first images of the PS5 controller. You can find all information about Sony’s PS5 DualSense with us.

What is the name of the PS5 controller? Sony officially presented the PS5 controller on April 7, 2020. One of the biggest surprises was certainly the name: the PS5 controller is not called DualShock 5, but rather DualSense. And not only the name differentiates the PS5 controller from the PS4 controller.

In our article, we explain to you what the PS5 controller can do and how it differs from the DualShock 5 or the “Xbox Series X” controller.

This article was published in April 2020 and has been continuously updated with new information. On September 29, 2020, we added the current price, compatibility, and information about the adaptive triggers.

What does the PS5 controller look like – images and design

On the official PlayStation Blog, Sony presented not only the first information about the “PlayStation 5” controller but also the first images.

PS5 controller Dualsense official image
The PS5 controller “DualSense” from the front. The two-tone design is clearly visible. The symmetrical basic design remains intact.

The most surprising aspect is the design: While the classic DualShock controllers have all been one color, the PS5 DualSense opts for a two-tone design.

PS5 controller Dualsense official image angled from the back
The PS5 controller “DualSense” angled from the back. The USB-C port and triggers are visible. It can also be seen that the triggers are black.

The light bar is now no longer located on the back, but surrounds the touchpad, which looks trapezoidal. We have also wondered how the PS5 controller would look in black.

PS5-Controller – Price, backward compatibility, and gameplay

PS5 Design - Cube
One of many PS5 concepts. We have presented you with the top five concepts for the PS5.

PS5 Controller Costs – What is the cost of the PS5 controller?

Meanwhile, the price of the PS5 DualSense controller is known. The controller will cost 69.99 euros at launch. Thus, the device costs 10 euros more than the DualShock 4.

The price of the PS5 is now also known. The PS5 with disc drive will cost 499 euros and the digital edition 399 euros. The retail version of the console will also include an official PS5 DualSense controller.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Is the PS5 controller backward compatible?

On the official French PlayStation site, it was stated for some time that the PS5 controller would be compatible with the PS4. However, this information has since disappeared.

However, Sony has already explained that you will need a DualSense controller for PS5 games; you cannot play PS5 games with your PS4 controller. The reason is simple: only the DualSense controller supports the new features and functions of the games, and Sony wants to prevent problems this way.

You will still be able to play PS4 games on PS5 with a PS4 controller, as these do not yet offer the new features. We have presented you the best controllers for PS4 and PS5:

Triggers, Touchpad, and Headphone Jack – Features and functions of the DualSense controller for PS5

PS5-Dualsense
USB-C port, trigger buttons (black), and light bar (indicated in blue) are clearly visible.

Adaptive Trigger: The adaptive triggers are designed to make the gameplay feel significantly more realistic: it will feel different whether you are kicking a ball around in FIFA or reloading your gun. Developers have been very impressed with the adaptive triggers so far.

Haptic Feedback: For the “DualSense,” developers can define the resistance of the L2 and R2 triggers. For players, this means that each weapon will feel different.

Battery: The PS5 controller has a built-in battery. Sony promises that the battery life of the DualSense will last significantly longer than that of the DualShock 4. A built-in battery stands in contrast to the “Xbox Series X” controller, which uses removable batteries. According to Evzen Elite Technology, which disassembled an unofficial controller, the battery capacity of the DualSense is said to be 1560mA.

Ergonomics: The new PS5 controller is slightly smaller than the DualShock 4.

Touchpad: The new touchpad of the “DualSense” is trapezoidal shaped, with the light bar arranged around it. According to a patent, the controller’s touchscreen is supposed to not only register fingerprints, but also display them both on the screen and on the TV itself.

Create Button: The PS5 controller no longer has a Share button. Instead, there is now a Create button. This offers the same functions as the Share button of the DualShock 4 but is supposed to offer even more ways to share gameplay, images, and videos.

Headphone Jack: The PS5 controller will still feature a headphone jack. Many fans had wished for this feature for the PS5 controller. It is still possible to connect headsets or headphones if you want to play quietly or if the PS5 might become very loud like the PS4.

Microphone: The PS5 controller has a built-in microphone that can be used for chats. However, you can still connect a headset via the headphone jack.

Does the PS5 controller have paddles? It is still unknown whether the PS5 controller will have paddles. The back of the controller has not yet been seen in the images.

PS5 Controller vs “Xbox Series 2” Controller

Title image Xbox vs PS5 Controller
The PS5 controller compared to the new Xbox controller.

How do the PS5 controller and “Xbox Series X” controller compare to each other? We examined the differences and similarities between the two controllers in more detail.

Similarities between PS5 controller and “Xbox Series X” controller:

  • Both controllers use USB-C as a connection.
  • The price of the controllers is currently unknown.
  • Both Xbox and PS5 controllers have a social button: “Create” (PS5) or “Share” (Xbox Series X).
  • A 3.5 mm headphone jack is available on both controllers.

Differences between PS5 controller and “Xbox Series X” controller:

  • The Xbox controller follows the familiar Xbox design, while the PS5 controller has departed from solid color.
  • The Xbox controller uses replaceable batteries, while the PS5 controller has its battery built-in.
  • The PS5 controller, like the DualShock 4, offers a light bar and touch bar.
  • The PS5 controller features a built-in microphone and integrated speakers.
  • The PS5 controller features adaptive triggers. The “Xbox Series X” controller might also have these, but this has not been announced yet. The predecessor, the Xbox One controller, uses “Impulse Trigger”.

In our extensive comparison, we took a closer look at both controllers and examined how the “Xbox Series X” controller stands against the PS5 controller:

WoW: How good does the Tomb of Sargeras look in Minecraft

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The most famous WoW temple now also exists in Minecraft. Check out how dark the Tomb of Sargeras has become.

In Minecraft players can always let their creativity run wild. But those who don’t feel like coming up with something themselves prefer to build cool places from other games. Especially World of Warcraft is often the starting point for build-crazy players who transfer memorable places into the block world. Like the Reddit user EternalDawnbt.

What did he build? Eternal Dawnbt has chosen one of the most important buildings from World of Warcraft: The Tomb of Sargeras.

Although the Tomb only became significant in the “Legion” expansion, it already played an important role in the history of the Warcraft games. In Legion, it was the attack point of the Burning Legion, while previously Gul’dan sought power in the Tomb. Even further back in the past, the Guardian Aegwynn defeated the avatar of Sargeras and imprisoned him there. And besides, the Tomb was actually an ancient temple of Elune and belongs to the Night Elves.

This is what the temple looks like: In the Minecraft version, the temple stands apart from the rest of the Broken Isles, making it a standalone project. The large statues of the temple maidens are easily recognizable, although details like facial features are missing – but that is hardly realizable in Minecraft. The menacing atmosphere of the environment has definitely been captured well, and with some shaders and mods, the whole work looks even darker.

Can you see it for yourself? Yes! If you want to walk the map yourself or have ideas on how to expand or remodel it, you can download it on Planet Minecraft. This is easily possible for the PC version of Minecraft. This way you can check out the map yourself or make changes to customize it or simply find some inspiration.

By the way, our author Sascha has also completed a mega project in Minecraft – he rebuilt the entire city of Stormwind.

Streamer has been live on Twitch for 1068 hours because he is afraid of being alone

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The streamer GPHustla has broken the record for the longest uninterrupted stream on Twitch. He has been live for more than 1000 hours. In a clip, he says he is afraid of being alone again. That sounds like a pretty depressing version of The Truman Show.

How the record was set: The streamer started a 24-hour marathon stream on August 24. It escalated and continued indefinitely. He just didn’t stop streaming and even slept on camera.

Currently, GPHustla has been live on Twitch for 1068 hours. At the moment, he is sleeping, and there are still 230 viewers watching him.

The last 30 days haven’t been particularly successful: he has an average of 8 viewers. In the last hours, there have been a few more as word spread about the strange experiment happening on Twitch.

The streamer broadcasts his entire life on Twitch. When he goes shopping, he films himself in an IRL stream with his phone.

His ultimate goal is to break the official record of the Guinness World Records: he plans to start on January 1, 2021, and then be on air for longer than 161 hours. Right now, he is training for that and has shattered all unofficial records.

Why is he doing this? In a clip, GPHustla explains why he is pursuing this record. The streamer says:

I look forward to it every day so much that I don’t want to stop. I want to live on Twitch. I want to be the streamer who is always live.

You can check out GPHustla’s channel at any time and he is live.

I am alone – I have nothing

That sounds positive and like a joyful PR message that a marketing agency came up with.

The most popular clip on GPHustla’s channel with over 70,000 views sends a different message. In it, he says:

I think that’s one of the reasons why I don’t stop the stream: I am afraid of being alone again. It’s like they are back in my mind: As soon as I’m offline, I’m alone again.

I am alone. I have nothing. And that’s why I feel so connected to streaming. I haven’t felt this way in a long time.

The streamer then explains that in his youth he was sociable and enjoyed being the center of attention.

In recent years, he has wondered: “Do I really have to go outside?”

In the film “The Truman Show” from 1998, the life of an apparently normal person is filmed without their knowledge: Every second is broadcast for the entertainment of the viewers. The man’s life seems stylized and scripted. He is the realization of the American suburban dream.

This was considered a bold vision for the future 22 years ago. Today, it is reality that someone broadcasts their entire life, and it is not as glamorous as in the “Jim Carrey” movie.

We reported in December 2019 about the German streamer Seansstream, who tried to be live on Twitch for the maximum number of hours in a month. However, he did not broadcast his sleep breaks live.

Broman
Professor Broman warned about excesses on Twitch as early as 2017.

Twitch is unregulated. Ultimately, each streamer decides for themselves how long they want to be live, what is healthy for them, and how many breaks they take. As early as 2017, Destiny streamer ProfessorBroman raised awareness of the issues associated with this.

The Twitch system encourages self-exploitation:
