Bungie will pack almost half of Destiny 2 into a “content vault” on November 10, removing it from the game. A YouTuber is now talking about a secret meeting and Bungie’s actual plans. They are much more comprehensive and exciting than what has been publicly shared by Bungie so far.
Here is what the YouTuber reported: YouTuber Aztecross says he sat down with other content creators and Bungie for eight hours in September 2019, including Destiny director Luke Smith.
During the meeting, Bungie openly discussed Destiny’s problems: The game has issues with its code, which is why there are so many bugs in it.
Luke Smith is said to have already discussed his master plans for Destiny with content creators in the autumn of 2019.
Bungie explained that the solution to the problem would require removing content from the game and completely reworking it. This reworking of game content is the alternative to a Destiny 3. Bungie has now abandoned the idea of a sequel and will continue to provide new content for Destiny 2 at least until 2022.
Here’s why Bungie is doing it: Aztecross mentions that Bungie asked the content creators how they envision Destiny 3. The three most important wishes, which he also supported, were:
Subclass based on Darkness
Subclasses that players can customize
More true MMO elements like large open-world activities
The first two wishes will now be fulfilled in November – at least partially.
He believes that the two new zones, Cosmodrome and Europa, are a preview of a new kind of zone that allows for more MMO elements.
With “Beyond Light”, the new damage type “Stasis” is introduced, which is based on Darkness.
This is the big question mark: Aztecross wonders why Bungie has not yet publicly shared the plan to remove content from the game for reworking and to make Destiny 2 more of an MMO:
“I’m sitting here, biting my tongue and saying nothing, because I’m waiting for them to explain it in a blog post.”
Aztecross
Aztecross believes if Bungie had explained why they are removing elements from the game, the mood would be much better right now.
He speculates that Bungie wants to usher in a new era with “Beyond Light” and steer Destiny 2 more towards an “MMO”: the content is being removed from the game to be completely reworked and adapted. When they come back, they could reappear as “next-gen” content.
Aztecross speculates:
If the reworked zones return someday, Bungie might leave behind the original consoles of Destiny 2, the PS4 and Xbox One, and only have it run on PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, PS5, and Xbox Series X. During the Destiny 1 expansion “Rise of Iron”, Bungie already left behind the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Bungie might rename Destiny 2 to just “Destiny” or choose another name to signal that something fundamental has changed.

What’s behind this: Aztecross’s information is new and sheds light on Bungie’s decision:
Up until now, it was assumed that Bungie would take the content out of the game and later bring it back just like that: the content is removed to save players storage space and Bungie a lot of work.
Aztecross now says that Bungie is taking content out of the game, reworking it from the ground up, and bringing it back later – so Bungie is doing more work with the vault than less.
If this is indeed the case and the information from a year ago is correct, it seems utterly crazy that Bungie hasn’t yet publicly released this information. It remains to be seen how things truly are. This “reworking from the ground up to be more like an MMO” actually sounds almost too good to be true.
Destiny 2 “Beyond Light” is expected to be something like a Destiny 3
Aztecross’s perspective closely resembles the theory we proposed a few days ago. According to the theory, the Destiny 2 expansion “Beyond Light” is something like a “Destiny 2.5” and represents a real fresh start for Destiny, as it has been decided to extend the game’s life to 6 years rather than just 3 as originally planned.
The space sandbox MMO Dual Universe starts today in beta. Then fans of free building and exploration can finally explore a complete universe full of planets and spaceships. All information about the beta launch and how to participate, as well as the exclusive trailer, can be found here on MeinMMO.
What is Dual Universe? Dual Universe is an ambitious space MMO sandbox developed by Novaquark. The highlight of Dual Universe is clearly the walkable world where you can explore countless planets. Additionally, the entire economy is based on players’ actions, and thanks to the modified Unity engine and voxel graphics, you can build almost anything yourself.
Space battles are particularly spectacular in Dual Universe.
This applies to buildings as well as to spaceships. So look forward to crazy creations with which you can zoom through the universe, gather resources, or take out other players.
Moreover, many players should be able to gather together on one server and conduct their businesses in real-time.

The beta trailer for Dual Universe – exclusively here at MeinMMO.
When does the beta start? Today, on Thursday, August 27, 2020, the big beta of Dual Universe starts. By the time this news is published, the game should already be playable.
How can you participate in the beta? The developers have intentionally chosen against a Free2Play model and opted for a paid subscription for Dual Universe. Only backers of the alpha version can access the beta for free. The rest must get a subscription that costs 6.99 euros per month. On the official Dual Universe website, you can sign up and subscribe.
If desired, players can also build impressive houses.
What happens in the beta? In the beta, the gameplay focuses primarily on space, where epic battles can take place. Ground combat is not yet present. The beta will run until the release in 2021 and will end with a final wipe.

Here’s the interview: If your interest in Dual Universe and the beta has been sparked, we can recommend the big interview between our sister site GameStar and the lead developer and studio founder Jean-Christophe Baillie from Novaquark, where they will discuss the game.
Oneshot-Builds help you kill enemies in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD Warzone before they can even react. They are accordingly powerful and popular, but not every weapon can do this. MeinMMO presents you with 5 weapons with setups that allow you to take down enemies with just one shot.
What are Oneshot-Builds? Our builds are not about the strongest weapons of each category, but about those weapons that can kill with one shot. This means your damage is so high that it immediately reduces the opponent’s hit points to 0, even if they were previously full.
All of these builds work in both the multiplayer modes of Modern Warfare as well as in Warzone. However, not all on the list can achieve hard one-hits in Battle Royale. We are only looking at the softcore variants, as many weapons are lethal in the hardcore mode of MW anyway.
By the way, most of these weapons are not necessarily “meta”. So if you are looking for some variety in your play style and want to try out new builds, take a look at these options.
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip or Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolith)
Ammunition: M67 10-Round Magazine
What makes it strong? The CR-56 is one of the few assault rifles that can kill with one shot. With the special magazine, it deals enough damage to down enemies with a headshot immediately and fires semi-automatically by default. As long as your enemy is not wearing armor plates or you are playing in multiplayer, you will knock down enemies with one hit.
With the optic and the barrel, you have enough range to compete with DMRs. The stock and the Commando Foregrip give you the necessary stability when aiming and if you need to follow up shots. The underbarrel attachment is one of the best attachments for better aiming.
In Warzone, however, you should be a bit careful, as you have a very limited magazine with only 10 shots. If you can’t reliably hit the opponent, that could quickly become a disadvantage.
These alternatives exist: The more well-known oneshot assault rifle is the FAL, which also fires semi-automatically but ranks behind the CR-56 AMAX in the popularity ranking of all assault rifles.
Despite a recent nerf of the FAL, it is still strong and a good alternative to the oneshot CR-56. The advantage of the FAL is that it comes standard with a larger magazine and you can save yourself the ammunition attachment for it. However, it is a bit harder to control and does not have as much range as the CR-56.
Oneshot-DMR: Kar98k
This is how you build the setup:
Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolith)
Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″
Optic: Target Scope, VLK 3.0x Scope or 4.0x Hybrid Scope – depending on preference and use
Stock: FTAC Sport Comb
Ammunition: Patterned Grip Tape
What makes it strong? The Kar98k is already one of the best weapons for Warzone and can efficiently kill with a headshot even at long distances. Its range is greater than that of all DMRs and can even compete with sniper rifles.
Since April, the Kar98k may even be the best sniper rifle in Warzone. Its strength lies in the fact that it is as strong as sniper rifles, but significantly more mobile. You can follow up on missed shots faster and engage multiple targets more efficiently.
With the different optics, it can be used for medium, medium to long, and long distances and its high bullet speed even outperforms sniper rifles. However, hits must count. Because at longer ranges, hits to limbs or below the chest deal hardly any damage – only headshots and chest hits are where the Kar really shines.
These alternatives exist: The Mk2 Carbine, as the best weapon in its category, is a strong alternative to the Kar98k. Like the Kar, the lever-action rifle is also a oneshot weapon in multiplayer, but for Warzone you need 2 hits.
With a higher rate of fire and faster reload time, the Mk2 performs slightly better for multiplayer than the Kar. However, the Kar gives a better sniper feeling. Both weapons can kill an opponent without armor even in the torso with one shot.
Stock: FTAC Champion (better for Warzone) or FTAC Stalker-Scout (better for Multiplayer)
Ammunition: 9-Round Magazine or any optic if you don’t like the default optic
What makes it strong? Like all “bolt action” sniper rifles, the HDR can kill enemies with one shot to the head at long distances in Warzone, even in the torso without armor. With the Champion stock, you gear up for more precise aiming at long distances, while the Stalker stock increases your ADS speed for faster aiming.
With the attachments, you build fully for range and can still kill enemies immediately at many dozens of meters. However, be aware that at greater distances you are dependent on the bullet speed stat.
A major advantage is the already strong built-in sniper scope. You don’t need to change the optic to play well with the HDR. Although it is a bit bulkier than that of the AX-50, it is more than sufficient for good shooters.
These alternatives exist: Both the AX-50 and the Rytec AMR are good alternatives to the HDR, although the Rytec has slightly less range. Only the Dragunov stands out a bit among the snipers because its damage output is simply not competitive with the others.
The HDR is best suited along with the Rytec for “true” sniper gameplay at the longest distances. The AX-50, on the other hand, is better suited for more mobile snipers who rely on quickscoping.
Ammunition: 10-Round Magazine or Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolith)
Grip: Patterned Grip Tape
What makes it strong? With the right attachments, the .50 GS can be deadly at medium distances. A headshot with it can kill instantly at up to 15 meters, at least with a maximum of 2 armor plates.
What makes the “Desert Eagle” particularly strong is the fact that it is a pistol. You can draw and fire it faster than any other secondary weapon, surprising opponents when your magazine is empty.
Additionally, you can even use it in “Akimbo”, meaning two weapons at once at the cost of accuracy. If you prefer to play the gunslinger, you can intimidate opponents with it, even if they don’t instantly die.
These alternatives exist: Like the .50 GS, the .357 can also kill instantly with one shot in multiplayer. It even has a longer range, but is considerably slower and has an even higher recoil, making it less accurate.
Optic: Marksman Reflex Sight (or another optic of your preference)
Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
Ammunition: Slug Rounds
What makes it strong? With this build, you forgo the wide spread of shotgun pellets and the strength at close range and instead build for range. With the choke and the slug rounds, you can easily kill opponents at several meters.
The barrel helps further increase your range. With the optic and the foregrip, you will still be accurate at your target even with a second shot.
The R9-0 also has the advantage that you can fire two shots in quick succession. If you hit both, you can even take down fully armored Warzone soldiers with it. In multiplayer, the second shot gives you a good chance to follow up if the first shot has not convinced the opponent to go down.
These alternatives exist: Basically, any shotgun that uses slug rounds and ideally a choke works here. With this combo, the 725 was even a feared sniper rifle in the past.
In Warzone, the armor of opponents often gets in the way, but in multiplayer, you can easily kill your opponents even over a long corridor with the shotguns.
Will Hearthstone become even more Pay2Win and take away players’ gold? Blizzard responds to players’ concerns and explains what the new system will entail.
For several weeks now, the expansion “Scholomance Academy” has been live in Hearthstone, bringing 135 new cards that have refreshed the game. However, another topic is causing a lot of discussion in the community, as Blizzard seems to want to take away player rewards – at least, that’s the fear of some. But Blizzard quickly reassures: All players should receive just as many or even more rewards in the new system.
What is this all about? Some time ago, Hearthstone conducted a survey to gather players’ opinions on new reward systems. This sparked discussions in the game’s subreddit. In the new system, quests would no longer earn gold but instead grant experience points. These points slowly fill a player level. Each level-up then grants rewards. Primarily, there is gold, but less frequently, card packs or cosmetic rewards.
The community is already referring to the system as a “Battle Pass” because it resembles mechanics found in Fortnite or Dead by Daylight.
Players are concerned about more Pay2Win: Initial information from the survey and an early look at the system led to the assumption that rewards for players would be drastically reduced. Due to the elimination of quests as a source of gold income, the monthly gold earnings would drop from about 9,000 gold to around 5,000 gold.
This would ultimately mean that players would have a harder time obtaining the newest packs. These contain the freshest and most sought-after cards, which are essential for winning.
The implication would be: If obtaining the newest cards becomes more difficult, then purchasing packs for real money becomes necessary. Only those who pay can keep up – which would be more Pay2Win.
Hearthstone has already been grappling with Pay2Win accusations for some time. After all, it is relatively difficult for free-to-play players to obtain all cards. It’s not impossible, but it requires a lot of time, ambition, and also a good amount of skill to succeed in the arena.
More packs or fewer? The players are concerned.
This is what Blizzard says: Dean Ayala from the Hearthstone team spoke up. He explained in the game’s subreddit that players should receive at least the same amount or even more rewards. The new system would still generate approximately the same amount of gold, if not a little more. Players’ freedom in how they spend their gold would not be restricted in any way.
Accordingly, it should also be possible in the future to spend saved gold at the start of an expansion to purchase many packs.
The intention behind the system is that it should represent an improvement for all players. Rewards should be granted through a unified system, allowing players to play Hearthstone exactly as they wish. They would no longer be forced to play a specific mode. Experience points are awarded everywhere – so every game mode would inevitably lead to rewards through new level-ups.
Somewhat jokingly, he added as the source for his statements: “Countless hours spent staring at Excel spreadsheets to get this right.”
So Blizzard aims to reassure and assures that the new reward system fundamentally means no change or at best positive innovations. Whether this is true or Hearthstone ultimately takes a step closer to Pay2Win remains to be seen once the new system goes live.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Both New World and the streaming platform Twitch are part of Amazon. Both are also supposed to interact with each other. In the currently ongoing preview event, you can see how this already works with a special feature.
How do New World and Twitch fit together? In the interview with Game Director Scot Lane, it was revealed to us by MeinMMO that New World is designed for Twitch streamers.
For this, there are special features, like PvE and PvP battles on a set schedule with pre-registrations. This allows streamers to mobilize their community and set out together with them. Additionally, there is supposed to be an in-game symbol to alert players who are currently live on Twitch.
What feature is currently attracting attention? Even the voice chat in New World already offers a way for communication between streamers and their fans. For MMORPGs, such an open chat that is audible to the entire environment is the exception.
What happened in Sodapoppin’s voice chat? While the streamer Chance “Sodapoppin” Morris was out and about in New World, he repeatedly activated the voice chat and entertained his entire surroundings with a pirate accent. He then encountered the player Yogg, with whom he had a longer conversation.
After some time, Yogg realized that he was talking to the well-known player and let his “fanboy” side show a bit. He loudly expressed his excitement about speaking with Sodapoppin and immediately told him about his gaming time in WoW, which is said to be 4 years.

Another player, on the other hand, was supposed to defend Sodapoppin and received a “quest” from the streamer. Many users in the chat were thrilled by the way Sodapoppin plays his role.

Asmongold declined the request, whereupon the player simply ran away, leaving the streamer alone. The clip has already been viewed over 30,000 times.

New World temporarily reaches number 1 on Twitch
At the start of the Preview event for New World, things went really well for the MMO. At one point, over 330,000 people were watching simultaneously on Twitch (via Sullygnome). This even put the title at number 1 among all games on the streaming platform.
At one point, New World was in first place on Twitch, ahead of Just Chatting, CoD MW, and Fall Guys (Image via MMORPG.p).
However, the viewer numbers have since been declining after the initial hype. At the time of writing, 45,200 people were watching the MMO, placing it at number 5. It will be exciting for New World, especially when the release is slated for 2021.
The band K/DA in League of Legends performed at the World Championship in 2018 with a song. This was originally intended to promote skins, but it turned into a viral hit. Now the band is getting a new song and possibly a new member.
Ahri – sung by the South Korean Miyeon, who is a member of the K-Pop group (G)I-dle.
Akali – sung by Soyeon, also from (G)I-dle.
Evelynn – sung by Madison Beer, an American singer.
Kai’Sa – sung by Jaira Burns, also from the USA.
Initially, the entire band was mainly a promotional campaign to advertise a series of special skins in League of Legends. However, it was “big thinking” from the start and involved a lot of effort.
The accompanying video went viral and has now reached over 360 million views. Now, however, the band is returning and apparently even getting another member.

What is currently happening with K/DA? The official Twitter account for the band has already shared a teaser for the upcoming song “The Baddest”. The premiere is set for today, August 27.
Interestingly, the song is supposed to be a “pre-release single”. It is possible that more songs or even a full album will be presented at Worlds 2020.
Another hint shared by Twitter user Daniel Ahmad features an image about the partnership between Universal Music Group and Riot Games (via Twitter).

This is how K/DA is supposed to look for their new song.
Will the band get a fifth member?
A picture is currently circulating on Twitter showing the 4 members of K/DA together with the soon-to-be-released champion Seraphine. This image appears to be a leak, but it’s attracting a lot of attention.
Although the picture is a bit blurry and the logo does not match the old one from the band, it could fundamentally be a promo picture from Riot Games.
There is also a Seraphine account on Twitter that claims to be a songwriter and producer. The account was created on June 26, 2020, but was only discovered in August.
Whether it is an official account from Riot Games has not been confirmed, but the account has shared a link to Soundcloud, where the well-known song by K/DA is covered by Seraphine. The version is significantly calmer and less upbeat. Many K/DA fans find that very refreshing.
After months of back and forth, the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War finally shows the first proper trailer – and that in the Battle Royale Warzone. MeinMMO summarizes the reactions.
What was going on? Call of Duty 2020 has already done many things differently than its predecessors months before the release. The reveal came much later than CoD players are used to, and the nature of the reveal was something quite special. Instead of relying on the usual channels like trade shows or press releases, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War showed its first proper trailer to players, in-game in the Battle Royale Warzone.
You can find out how players reacted and how the first reactions to the trailer and the many new details about CoD 2020 turned out here.
Reveal event for self-playing was well received – but caused problems
What kind of event was that? The reveal event started on August 6th. Some streamers and news sites received mysterious boxes that eventually led to the first official mini-teaser after a weeks-long hunt. We have summarized the hunt for the first trailer for you here.
The whole thing culminated in an in-game event that was active for an hour yesterday, on August 26th, in Call of Duty: Warzone. MeinMMO actually live-tweeted it. Throughout the event, a modified Plunder mode replaced all other game modes. Here, 4 tasks had to be completed, and at the end of a crazy round, you got to see the trailer.
In the special game mode “Know Your History”, everything was a bit different.
How did the event go over? The reactions to this crazy trailer release are, however, mixed. On one side, there are players who could hardly believe what they experienced. On the other hand, there were also many who were annoyed because they could not start the regular Warzone for an hour and instead were only exposed to advertisements for the new CoD game.
@5PYGL4SS wrote on Twitter: “Guys. This game reveal was the first time I had to cry in a game… Thank you for letting me feel like a kid again for a moment.”
pm_bouchard1967 wrote on reddit: “It’s advertising. Funny advertising, to be honest, but ultimately an ad for the new game. I had hoped that at least something related to Warzone would be available. A new map or something. But this is quite disappointing.”
solesupply wrote on reddit: “I think it was pretty damn cool… I admit I was a little disappointed that the map wasn’t ‘nuked’ when we all had to run to the stadium. Overall, this event was a blast, and I wish we would have seen something like this more often in Warzone in recent months.”
Another problem was campers. The last item on the to-do list during the event led you to a familiar “Black Ops” operator – Frank Woods. However, his location appeared to be the same for many players in the match, leading some nasty trolls to camp there. “AmpdVodka” wrote on reddit: “As predicted, other players are ruining the event ‘Know Your Story’… The event is over. We missed the chance to get the blueprint. I can’t believe it. Due to other players trolling, we missed out on the blueprint. Fu**ing wow.”
Frank Woods gives you a weapon blueprint. However, he was unreachable in some lobbies.
Additionally, there were problems with the timing, especially in the USA. The event started for us at 7:30 PM – a perfect time for many to check in after work. However, depending on the time zone, the event took place at very inconvenient times and fell right in the middle of the day. That’s why many are upset that they had no chance to earn the rewards that the event distributed to players on the side. “Li0nSlicer” wrote on reddit: Is it over already? Quite a hassle for people who, well, you know, work in the middle of the day.”
If you missed the event, you can catch up. In the coming days, the playlist will be available from time to time, and if you want to get the cosmetics, you’ll have another chance. Here are the dates:
August 27 from 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
August 29 from 1:00 AM – 3:00 AM
August 29 from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
August 30 from 2:00 AM – 4:00 AM
Trailer evokes mixed opinions – expectations were high
How did the information about the new CoD go over? Here too, opinions are rather divided. Many players are excited about the new game and eager to experience the next “Black Ops” episode. However, a large portion seems to be rather skeptical and is waiting for further developments. Particularly because there were few images of the multiplayer and the zombies mode.
@RealBlazeStorm on Twitter: “Yes, it just feels like a normal CoD campaign trailer. We all know how it usually plays, and we also know that this part of the game is only really important to a minority. We all want to see something about the multiplayer or zombies, not the campaign.”
@LiquidTitan on Twitter: “Congratulations!!! I haven’t been this excited about a CoD since Call of Duty 4.”
The trailer already showed some impressive visuals, but not the right ones for many.
One major point of criticism that keeps coming up is the retraction of the first CoD trailer due to a scene that apparently didn’t sit well with China. Especially since the words “Know Your History” are mentioned repeatedly. On YouTube, the most liked comment under the trailer on the official “Call of Duty” channel is exactly about that: “julius ochoa” writes on YouTube: “Activision: Know Your History. Also Activision: Tiananmen Square never happened.”
Two other fears that players often express are collaboration with Sony/PlayStation and the possible size of the game on the hard drive.
@TreyarchNick on Twitter: “I’m a little worried that some of the zombie mode might again be exclusive to PlayStation for a year, like the survival mode from Spec Ops. Hopefully, that won’t happen!”
@TheNamessJT on Twitter: The event was insane! Great job Treyarch… The question I had to think about – When Cold War comes out, do we need to have Modern Warfare installed? I hope not, that would mean 300 GB or more with the Cold War files.
At the end of the trailer, there’s the opportunity to preorder.
Overall, many players particularly appreciated the reveal event and commend the effort that developer Treyarch put into the reveal. However, fears still outweigh, as there is currently too little information to form a complete picture.
Many wonder how matchmaking will work or how multiplayer maps will be implemented in Cold War. Until the most important questions are clarified, players will likely continue to approach the new title with caution.
Pokémon GO has given insight into the upcoming raid bosses. Four different legendary Pokémon await you in September – two of them haven’t been in raids since 2018.
What’s new: Niantic has provided a great overview of the events in September. In addition to Spotlight hours, breakthroughs, and Victini, there was also information about the raid bosses.
In September, there are 4 bosses waiting for you:
Heatran
Cresselia
Articuno
Zapdos
We’ll let you know which bosses are worth it and how long they will stay.
Is Heatran worth it? As a Fire attacker, Heatran is solid, but it performs worse compared to other Fire Pokémon. The reason for this is its weak attacks.
Heatran is available as Shiny. So if you haven’t got a Shiny yet, you should go on a Shiny hunt. It’s not necessarily essential as a strong attacker.
Cresselia – A monster for the PvP league
How long will Cresselia stay? The legendary Pokémon will replace Heatran directly on September 10 at 10 PM. It will then stay for about a week until September 18 at 10 PM.
Is Cresselia worth it? For raids and gym battles, Cresselia is quite useless. It is a Psychic type and has a lot of competition there that it cannot stand up against.
Moreover, Cresselia can be Shiny. So you can go on a Shiny hunt if you don’t yet have the legendary Pokémon in its shiny version. Otherwise, it mainly pays off for PvP fans.
Articuno – A long-lost returnee
How long will Articuno stay? The legendary Pokémon replaces Cresselia on September 18 and remains until September 25, so for exactly one week.
Is Articuno worth it? Articuno is likely to please many newcomers. It was last seen in raids almost exactly 2 years ago. After that, it could still be obtained through research breakthroughs and by battling Giovanni in its Shadow version.
However, you only had a great chance of getting Shiny Articuno in raids. If you didn’t get a Shiny there, you needed luck in the breakthrough or have been out of luck ever since. Now you get another chance for a week.
Articuno is a solid Ice attacker, and if you don’t have a good Mamoswine or Snorunt, you should definitely consider using Articuno.
Zapdos – The second bird as a returnee
How long will Zapdos stay? The legendary Pokémon arrives directly after Articuno on September 25 at 10 PM. It will then stay until October 2 at 10 PM. So you also have exactly one week here.
Is Zapdos worth it? The legendary Pokémon has been absent for just as long as Articuno. The last time you could catch it was in the summer of 2018, and after that, it could only be obtained through research breakthroughs or by battling Giovanni.
So if you still don’t have a Shiny here, you can finally take your chance and challenge Zapdos multiple times.
From a usability perspective, Zapdos is a solid Electric attacker. There are better alternatives like Raikou, Zekrom, and Electivire, but if you like variety, you can also go for Zapdos.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, Season 4 Chapter 2 has begun! Accordingly, some changes have also been made to the map. We show you what is new in the game world.
You will now find small pieces from the Marvel world everywhere. A first look at the map shows that there are not too many significant changes. Only a few places have changed:
This is what the new map of Season 4 looks like.
3 new places in Season 4
Doom’s Domain: If you look at Pleasant Park, there is a big change. Dr. Doom has taken over the city. Almost all houses have been flattened, and in the middle of town stands a large statue of Dr. Doom. The character is known from various Marvel movies, where he often played the villain.
Marvel Helicarrier: This is a flying platform. Aircraft can take off from there, and it generally resembles an aircraft carrier.
It is the new spawn island, where you start the round. So you won’t notice much of it during the game.
Sentinel Graveyard: This is a collection of some robot parts. There are a total of 3 robots that are lying destroyed on the map. They are huge, and you can walk on them.
What else has changed? The Authority is still in the middle of the map, but it seems to have been taken over by the Marvel agents. You can also discover some new things there.
Deadpool’s ship has disappeared and other places have changed slightly:
Slurpy Swamps has become noticeably larger
The Fortilla has shrunk and various buildings are destroyed there
There are some crash sites of drones on the map – good loot might await you there

What remains open: In Season 3, the map changed repeatedly throughout the season. The water receded more and more, and more places became known.
Similarly, it could happen in Season 4. The changes might not be final for this season. However, it remains to be seen whether Season 4 has more map surprises in store.

In August 2020, MontanaBlack sounds almost a little in love with Twitch: The chat, the emotes, the Twitch culture have captivated him. Twitch is the only true platform. In December 2019, it sounded different. He was flirting with other platforms and canceled his Twitch contract to see “who loves him the most.” It was a maneuver to negotiate a new, better contract with Twitch.
Apparently, he has received that, judging by how he talks now:
This way, you are not allowed to hang out with your friends who are streamers in the evenings, explains MontanaBlack. That is tough. But he doesn’t make the rules.
Twitch ban is a “mindfuck”
This makes the ban of Flying Uwe so hard: According to MontanaBlack, it hits Flying Uwe particularly hard because he is permanently banned and cannot defend himself anymore.
Flying Uwe could only file an appeal once, which was rejected, and then he has to wait 90 days to file another appeal:
“Just think about what a mindfuck it is when you are permanently banned. Your first application is rejected, and you remain permanently banned and then have to wait 90 days until you can file the next appeal. You don’t know if anything will happen. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. It’s terrible.”

Apparently, he has received that, judging by how he talks now:
The biggest German Twitch streamer, Marcel “MontanaBlack”, Eris has commented during a stream on the permanent Twitch ban of Flying Uwe. The ban is hitting him pretty hard. There is no real alternative for gaming streamers to Twitch, and once you are banned from Twitch, it is a terrible situation.
According to the streamer’s account, someone called him anonymously five times on his phone while he was on the street and live streaming with his smartphone.
Due to the calls, the stream was interrupted repeatedly. Flying Uwe stated that he had “harshly insulted and threatened” the anonymous caller.
Twitch interpreted this as a threat of physical violence: which leads to a permanent ban.
“Twitch is the only true platform for streaming.”
This is what MontanaBlack says now: In a stream from August 21, MontanaBlack addressed the topic of “perma-bans” and how hard they hit streamers.
“Being permanently banned on Twitch is a pretty crappy feeling. And even though I haven’t been in contact with Uwe for a while, you can see it in his videos that it affects him. It affects him a lot: He no longer uploads videos on his gaming channel. He doesn’t stream on YouTube. And I can also tell you why. Because the only thing Uwe desires regarding the internet is to be able to stream again on Twitch.
And why? Because Twitch is simply the only true platform for streaming.”
MontanaBlack
MontanaBlack then explains that there is no real alternative to Twitch if you’re used to the platform. On other platforms like YouTube, you can only stream if the “money feels right behind it.”
Apparently, he has received that, judging by how he talks now:

In Final Fantasy XIV, there are now dirndl and lederhosen outfits for your characters. However, they are only available exclusively in the MMORPG’s cash shop.
Oktoberfest? What? In the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, it is now “O’zapft is!” Players can now host their own Oktoberfest if they wish. Today, on August 27, two new outfits came that bring the authentic Oktoberfest feeling into the game:
The mountaineer costume set
The dirndl costume set
On the left, the mountaineer set for men, on the right, the dirndl outfit for women
Both outfits consist of 5 parts each, which can be worn separately and freely combined. All parts are also dyeable, and you can give your dirndl or lederhosen the color that you like the most.
Like all other fashion items, they are at level 1 and do not grant any status values or other gameplay bonuses.
You can also view the outfits in the game environment. A dataminer presented them in a video:
What’s the catch? The Oktoberfest feeling comes to Final Fantasy XIV, but it also comes with Oktoberfest prices. Anything else wouldn’t be authentic, right? The two outfits are not free in the game; they are available exclusively in the cash shop.
They cost €13.50 each for a character. So if you also want to equip your twinks and side characters appropriately for Oktoberfest, it will cost you quite a bit.
But what would Oktoberfest be without beer? Toasting with your friends is also possible. Thanks to the emote “Prosit!” your character pulls out a big mug and downs it in one go. So for an additional €4.90 per character, you can spread even more Oktoberfest cheer.
Prosit! is not a completely new emote, but it perfectly fits the Oktoberfest feeling
So if you feel like roleplaying an Oktoberfest event in the game, you now have everything you need for it. However, it will cost you extra.
Now the rumors and speculations come to an end. The new CoD 2020, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, has finally been officially presented. We summarize the most important details known so far about Campaign, Multiplayer, Zombies, the editions, pre-orders, release, platforms, and the Open Beta.
Many have been waiting for this: On August 26, it finally happened – the new Call of Duty 2020 with the long name Black Ops Cold War was officially revealed – initially with an in-game event and trailer in Call of Duty: Warzone, followed by announcements on social media and other info channels.
However, there was not only the trailer with a brief look at the storyline and release date, but also a lot of additional details about various aspects of the game. We have summarized the most important information below and will continuously add fresh info until the release.
Everything we know so far about Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
When is the release? The official release date for CoD: Black Ops Cold War is November 13, 2020. The new Call of Duty 2020 will be available on all current platforms. On the next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X, the release will occur as soon as the consoles become available.
On which platforms will CoD Black Ops Cold War be released? PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X. Google Stadia is not currently listed as a platform.
I missed the reveal event in Warzone – What now? If you missed the event, it’s nothing serious. However, there are some cosmetic items, and if you still want to experience it, you are in luck. The special “Know Your History” mode will return to Warzone on the following dates:
August 27, from 19:30 to 20:30 German time
August 29, from 1:00 to 3:00 German time
August 29, from 17:00 to 19:00 German time
August 30, from 2:00 to 4:00 German time
Vietnam is also one of the locations of CoD: Black Ops Cold War
Details about the single-player campaign
Contrary to some leaks and rumors, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will not be a reboot of the Black Ops series. The new CoD will directly connect to Black Ops 1 story-wise.
The setting: Black Ops Cold War is set during the Cold War in the early ’80s. In the context of the story campaign, you experience and lead the dirty geopolitical battle almost from the front lines as an elite operator and hunt for the mysterious Soviet spy named Perseus.
Your journey will take you to numerous exciting locations such as East Berlin, Vietnam, Turkey, or the headquarters of the Soviet secret service KGB. Along the way, you will encounter iconic Black Ops characters like Woods, Mason, or Hudson, as well as new heroes.
A scene from the campaign
A first – character creation: For the first time, it will be possible to create your own character in CoD as part of the campaign. You can determine your gender, name, identity, background, and more – essentially creating a kind of CIA dossier about yourself.
Your choice will not grant any gameplay advantages or bonuses but is purely cosmetic. For example, your gender will affect your voice heard in the game.
Decision-making and alternative endings: Players will have many decision-making opportunities throughout the campaign – from the approach to a mission (stealth or shooting) to individual dialogue choices and voiced responses, to optional side missions unlocked during the storyline.
All these decisions will influence the ending of the game. There will be several alternative endings, increasing replay value.

Warzone will also share its content with the new CoD 2020. There will be cross-progression between Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, meaning you will be able to use certain items in both titles. Additionally, Warzone players will still have access to Modern Warfare content they have already earned – such as operators or weapon blueprints. More information can be found in the previously linked article about the multiplayer reveal.
A zombie from Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
Here’s the situation with Zombies
What we know so far: Coop enthusiasts can rejoice. As expected from a Treyarch title, the popular Zombies mode will be included in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War – that much is certain.
No season pass: Unlike its predecessors, there will be no season pass or loot boxes in CoD: Black Ops Cold War. All relevant post-launch content such as new MP maps, new modes, Zombies experiences, or in-game events will be free for all players.
Battle Pass and seasons: Instead, there will be a Battle Pass and a seasonal content model similar to Modern Warfare.
It can be assumed that the Battle Pass will have a free and a paid premium reward branch, with all gameplay-relevant content such as new weapons being obtainable through the free branch. Additionally, seasons should ensure a steady flow of content.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale Update 14.00 has been released, which heralds the start of Season 4 Chapter 2. We show you the patch notes. It includes new features, plenty of superhero stuff, and new locations!
What’s new in the 14.00 update: This update initiated the new Season 4 and allowed the worlds of Fortnite and Marvel to collide. As seen in the trailer, characters and superheroes must unite to defeat the villain Galactus.
But what does this mean for gameplay and Fortnite players? We show you what has changed in the game.
Become real superheroes or villains
What’s new now? The new battle pass skins not only look like the superheroes, but they also come with their abilities. You can activate Groot’s “Thorn Shield.” Throughout the season, more abilities will be unlocked. In the battle pass trailer, you could see how the abilities work in the game.
The Marvel superheroes have brought their powers with them
New locations from the Marvel universe
What’s new: When you dive into the Fortnite world now, you will see that it is no longer just Fortnite, but also a mix with the Marvel universe.
Overall, there are 3 new locations. Some of them are on the island, another will serve as the starting island. Here you can see all the map changes at a glance:
What’s different now: Those who participated in Season 9 will remember the little drones that could be found at hot spots. They flew through the air, and you could shoot them down to get more loot.
Now in Season 4 – Chapter 2, they are back. But this time they fit the Marvel theme of the season. If you shoot them down from the sky, you will receive powerful weapons and hero abilities. They can be found at the Quinjet landing sites marked on the map.
The new drones bring you cool loot
Bots can now help you
What’s new: The superhero Iron Man aka Tony Stark has brought some bots to the Fortnite world. They attack you, just like the marauders known from Season 3.
But now they have a new feature. If you take them down, you can hack them with the push of a button and turn them to your side. Once they get back up, they will fight for you:

Season 4 has brought not only map changes and cool features. What would a mix of the Fortnite world and the Marvel universe be without the superheroes and skins? If you want to be suitably dressed, there are many Marvel superheroes in Fortnite style in the Season 4 battle pass that you can unlock if you like.

Sylvanas was called a “bitch” in World of Warcraft for a long time – at least that’s what several NPCs referred to her as. However, this will soon be removed from the game.
Anyone currently looking at the pre-patch for Shadowlands on the PTR or the beta of the new expansion can experience some changes to old quests. Blizzard has slightly revamped some of the coolest quests from Silverpine Forest. In doing so, a curse word has been removed. Sylvanas will no longer be called a “bitch” in the future.
What is it about? Since the Cataclysm expansion, there has been a fairly long quest line in Silverpine Forest with Sylvanas in an important role. The series begins directly with “The Warchief Approaches” at the Forsaken command post. There, Sylvanas initially discusses with the then Warchief Garrosh about the approach to the humans of Gilneas and how the Forsaken can multiply. Garrosh is not thrilled and insults Sylvanas before his departure in the English client – “bitch”.
This term has been completely removed in two instances with the new expansion Shadowlands. The term is simply omitted. The text has been adjusted, and the corresponding sound file ends a second earlier.
The word “bitch” is missing after “Watch your clever mouth”.
Why was this changed? There has not been a statement from Blizzard explaining why this term was removed from the game. However, players derive many explanations for why the term was struck from the game.
The insult “bitch” is exclusively used in Silverpine Forest and Shadowfang Keep. It doesn’t really fit into World of Warcraft. Here, (almost) always original creations are used as insults, often referring to other creatures of the game world (ogres, gnolls, etc.).
“Bitch” allows for many interpretations of meaning. It’s not just “wretched dog” or “whore”, but also the sexually connoted “slut”.
Some players suspect that Blizzard is having trouble enforcing chat policies regarding insults when terms like “bitch” appear in the game world.
Whether any of these reasons are actually true is, of course, not entirely clear.
This is how it was in the German version: In the German client, the insult “bitch” was never used anyway, instead, Sylvanas was referred to here as “Miststück”. This word is not so loaded and does not allow for multiple interpretations, as is the case with “bitch”. However, it is still unclear whether “Miststück” will also be removed from the German client.
“Miststück” is clearer in the German version.
Cortyn says: Honestly, my first reflex reaction was also negative because I really liked the quest lines in Silverpine Forest. I found the insult from Garrosh fitting because he truly despised Sylvanas. However, the more I think about it, the more I agree that the insult doesn’t actually fit into World of Warcraft. WoW has insults in many places, but they usually fit better into the game world, like an “ogre-faced clown” or something similar.
The negative term “bitch”, on the other hand, is quite modern. Furthermore, it was only used in Silverpine Forest and stood out significantly there. I can understand why Blizzard is stepping back from it and adapting it so that it fits with the rest of the game world.
What do you think? A good decision that makes the game world more consistent? Or are there other reasons behind it?

Skin Leaks from Season 3 – Back Bling, Emotes, and Gliders
What else was found? In addition to the new skins, there is much more visual fluff. This includes gliders, emotes, harvesting tools, and Rocket Raccoon as a pet! Additionally, there seems to be unique awakening emotes for each hero, allowing them to unleash their true powers.
These are the Back Blings: The developers have some cool items ready with the back blings. Each of the Marvel heroes gets their own piece. Storm gets her cape, She Hulk gets a scale, and Iron Man gets a tech item.
Curiously, Groot is carrying himself as a baby, and the long-known skin Flytrap finally gets his own back bling.

The highlight here is clearly the new “pet”. It represents the legendary psycho raccoon Rocket, whom one should never refer to as a raccoon. So, anyone who has always wanted to have an angry, weapon-carrying not-raccoon on their back can now do so.
Is there anything among the new skins and items that you particularly like? Then let us know in the comments below this article! You can tell everyone what outfits you want to use to explore the newly designed map in Chapter 2 Season 4 of Fortnite.

World of Warcraft Classic has now existed for over a year. We look back and ask you: Are you still in?
It has been nearly a year since World of Warcraft Classic fulfilled a long-held wish for Blizzard fans. Since August 26, 2019, players could finally experience classic Azeroth not only on dubious pirate servers but also legally under Blizzard’s flag. So it is time to take a brief look back at the past year and then pose the question: Are you still active in WoW Classic? Or has the frenzy of nostalgia long since faded?
The Good Sides: Nostalgia and Community
For many players, the first whiff of nostalgia blew in with the launch of the game. Thousands of characters swarmed the starting areas, desperately trying to complete their first quests and cope with the massive lag. Groups quickly formed, and before the most important bosses of a quest, queues often formed on many servers. Everyone took their turn, and those who strayed from the line were banished. The solidarity sometimes extended to almost all players on a server.
Queueing bravely for the quest mob – that was part of Classic.
Overall, the mood at launch was extremely positive. Many guilds were founded, players sought groups and always found them. In the chat channels, the atmosphere was merry, and everything seemed like a while to be the land of milk and honey for WoW fans.
But not everything in Classic went exactly as players had wished. Initially overcrowded realms were something everyone could cope with, and the layering that lasted longer than planned was also acceptable. However, the large number of bots that gradually took over all realms was less bearable. Especially in dungeons like Blackrock Depths or Stratholme, there were often dozens of automated farming groups flooding the server with essential materials. This ruined the economy of some realms. At the same time, players had the feeling for months that Blizzard was doing nothing about it.
Blizzard tried to ban the bots – but they didn’t always succeed.
Another issue was the drive for performance optimization that crept in at many places. Many associated something carefree, freedom, and more social interaction with the vanilla experience. However, in many cases, this was destroyed by the urge to cover everything with “Best in Slot” items, to have all major World Buffs permanently, and to be generally tuned for maximum efficiency. Those who did not meet the demands were kicked out of many groups.
WoW Classic – Are you still with us?
But now let’s come to you! With more than a year under its belt, it’s time to ask whether Blizzard’s plan for a long-term WoW Classic has at least been successful among our readership. Therefore, we have a survey here to find out how your current interest in Blizzard’s MMO stands.
If you want to elaborate on your answer, feel free to leave a comment and discuss actively.

In Destiny 2, players love to roam as space cowboys with hefty revolvers. However, the most traditional ones are useless. We take a look at the shine that the 140s used to emit and why that is a thing of the past – but at the end, there’s also a glimmer of hope.
Why do guardians love hand cannons so much? At first glance, the old-fashioned firearms hardly seem to fit into the MMO shooter. However, during their adventures in the world of Destiny, many guardians have developed a deep bond with hand cannons and carry them proudly in their inventory.
The hefty revolvers are archaic weapons that one would expect in the hands of Clint Eastwood but not in the hands of a sorcerer slaying aliens in a distant future. Yet, it is precisely the models that are as old-fashioned or quirky as possible that have shot their way into the hearts of players; laser blasters like those from a generic sci-fi film do not fare well in Destiny at all.
The classic 3 Exotic revolvers: Thorn, Hawkmoon, and Last Word make up the triumvirate
The Destiny story is therefore also the story of special hand cannons:
The first PvP year of Destiny 1 was dominated by the triumvirate of exotic hand cannons
The legendary Fatebringer lured guardians week after week to raid in the Vault of Glass
In year 2, the Imago Loop was up as the weekly strike drop, and it was clear what was being farmed
In the beta of Destiny 2, everyone wanted to try out the Exotic Sunshot for themselves
In the Leviathan raid, the Midnight Coup was considered the highlight
In memory of Cayde, Bungie brought back the Exotic Pinace to Destiny 2, which has more perks and abilities than a Swiss Army knife
With Forsaken, every guardian celebrated or cursed Luna’s Howl and Not Forgotten – it all depended on which side of the race you stood on
It is noticeable that an above-average number of revolvers belong to the 140 family. In Destiny, weapons are usually classified according to their rate of fire.
Even MyMMO colleague Tom Rothstein has sung a love song to the revolvers:
Space cowboys and their revolvers have a tough time in Destiny 2
This is how things stand for hand cannons in PvE: The playstyle differs significantly from many other weapons: A rather leisurely rate of fire makes every bullet count, and the high damage rewards precision, creating a real power fantasy when pulling the trigger – or at least it should.
Especially the traditional 140s, with which the guardians “grew up”, are now just a shadow of their former selves.
In PvE, one bullet is often not even enough to take down a trash mob. Yes, even with a critical hit, the red bars continue to laugh. A corresponding reddit post has received over 6,400 upvotes in a single day, and nearly 500 comments lament the once flagship weapons.
What are red, orange, and yellow bars?? In Destiny, enemies are divided into three categories, corresponding to the color of their health bar. Red is found among the weakest enemies, orange among stronger foes and weak mini-bosses. Yellow is the health bars of the bosses.
This is the situation in PvP: In PvP, the 140s don’t fare any better. While the flow of taking cover, firing a powerful shot, and hiding again is still a popular tactic — unfortunately not with 140 hand cannons.
This also reflects in the usage rate in the Crucible (via Destinytracker). Looking at the most used weapons, you have to scroll far down in both Quickplay and Comp to find a legendary hand cannon of the 140s.
The Night Watcher is one of the few usable legendary hand cannons currently
Out of all 4 types of hand cannons, only one is currently useful
In principle, the entire weapon archetype is useless. The 150 cousins like the Night Watcher simply do everything better: they shoot faster without dealing significantly less damage and grant intrinsic bonuses to movement speed.
What do you think, will the space cowboys rejoice in Beyond Light over improved hand cannons? Why do the hefty revolvers hold such a special place in your heart? Some players even say that we should part ways with nostalgic memories and completely remove the 140s in Destiny 2.

In Valorant, a player from a clearly inferior team tried a desperate trick. By faking a message from the developers, he made his naive opponents surrender voluntarily in a ranked game.
What happened? On reddit, a noticeably angry player posted about how he was tricked and lost what seemed to be a guaranteed round. They were leading 7:5 and were generally better than the opposing team.
This was especially significant as it was a match in ranked mode. Every win counts, and losing can mean dropping in rank, forcing players to fight their way back up. Therefore, the competition for victory is particularly fierce.
But suddenly, in the middle of the game, an alleged message from the developers appeared:
Due to recent reports, Riot has now taken action against one of your teammates in your current game. According to the Vanguard policies, this match will not affect your current rank, and if you surrender, it will not impact your matchmaking. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This is what the message looked like in the game.
Players surrender dutifully and are very upset
Here’s how it went on: In fact, the players from the leading team believed this message and surrendered. Later it turned out: It was all fake. The player from the opposing team, who also had the least kills, had posted the message in the chat and hoped the opponent would fall for it.
Since they did, they lost the game, and the trickster’s team was spared a possible defeat and loss of rank points. Coincidentally, the player who sent the message was also playing as Cypher, a character known for tricks and confusion.
Here’s how the victims reacted: The mood among the deceived players was understandably bad. The secure game was gone, and there were indeed losses in ranking. In a reddit post, one of the affected players lamented loudly:
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. We were in a hard-fought game and were winning 7:5. Your bottom-fragger (Cypher) faked a message in all chats saying: “Due to recent reports, this match will not be counted towards your MMR and a surrender will have no impact.” All I can say is that I hate life.
On reddit, the player received further ridicule: “It’s like seeing a button on the internet that says, ‘You have a virus, click here to get rid of it.'” Another reader remarked, “How is it possible that all five of you fell for it?”
Others sympathized with the victim and showed solidarity. Such tricks seem to be quite popular, and many players have fallen for similar actions. However, should a cheater actually be present in a team and become noticeable, some players have a similar attitude. Once, there was a situation where the team banded together to troll the cheater until they all lost.
