Your PS4 controller is no longer sufficient for the new PS5 games, says Sony

Patrick Freese 3. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Sony has now officially confirmed that your DualShock 4 controller from the PS4 will not work with the new PlayStation 5 games. Here we show you Sony’s explanation.

What’s new? Sony published a post on their PlayStation blog today, August 3, 2020. It specifically discusses the compatibility of PS4 peripherals with the new PlayStation 5. However, there was tough news right away for fans of the DualShock 4.

Your beloved controller, with which you have played PS4 games for several years, is now outdated. It will no longer work with new games for the PlayStation 5.

Say goodbye to the PS4 controller in PS5 games

This is what Sony says: The developers clearly state in the blog: No, the DualShock 4 is not compatible with PS5 games. You will have to use the new PS5 controller.

And the team also provides an explanation for gamers. They write:

Is the DualShock 4 compatible with PS5 games?
No, we believe that for PS5 games, you should take advantage of the new features and capabilities we provide on the platform, including the features of the DualSense Wireless Controller.
Source: blog.playstation.com

This does not mean that your PS4 controller will be completely useless on the PlayStation 5. Because Sony also reports on other use cases.

The DualShock 4 controller and the PlayStation-licensed gamepad controllers from third parties are compatible with supported PS4 games.

You won’t have to completely put your beloved PS4 controller away. It will just have to watch from a distance when it comes to new games, as your hands wrap around the new PS5 controller.

But don’t worry, the new controller isn’t so bad either. The new PS5 controller in battle with the new Xbox Series X controller.

Which PS4 peripherals still work? The good news for you is that you don’t have to put away everything related to controlling your PS4.

Sony explains which components still work. These include steering wheels or flight sticks. Wireless headsets and more specialized accessories are also included. The PlayStation Camera for PS4 also works with PS5 – a free adapter ensures that.

In detail, Sony lists the following compatible accessories:

Which PS4 peripherals/accessories are compatible with PS5?
Special peripherals such as officially licensed steering wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks are compatible with PS5 games and supported PS4 games.
The Platinum and Gold Edition wireless headsets as well as third-party headsets that connect via USB or audio jack are compatible with PS5 (but not the headset companion app).
Both the PS Move motion controller and the PlayStation VR aim controller are compatible with supported PS VR games on PS5.

Using DualSense controller on PC: You can also use the new PS5 controller on Windows PC or Mac. We explain how this works here on MeinMMO in our detailed guide.

Pokémon GO: Don’t miss any breakthroughs with Zurrokex – Here’s how strong it is

Max Handwerk 3. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In the current research breakthrough in August 2020 in Pokémon GO, you can secure the monster Zurrokex. It flies under the radar for some players – but it’s really useful.

This is how the research breakthrough works: To achieve a research breakthrough in Pokémon GO, players must collect seven stamps. These stamps are awarded for completing field research tasks. However, players can only earn one stamp per day – ideally, it takes a week to achieve the breakthrough.

Then you can look forward to the research breakthrough, which brings you an encounter with a specific Pokémon. This month, from August 1 to September 1, 2020, it’s Zurrokex. And you definitely shouldn’t miss it.

Zurrokex is rare – and useful in PvP

Zurrokex is that rare: If you don’t find a Zurrokex in your Pokémon collection, you might not be a big PvP fan. Because: This monster has usually only been available as a reward from the battle league (as it is also in the newly started Season 3).

Apart from the battle league, there was also a Smoke Day in May, where Zurrokex was obtainable. However, those who missed it or had no luck with the spawns had to rely on the PvP league to get the rare Zurrokex. And that makes sense.

This is how strong Zurrokex is: The fact that Zurrokex has been tied to the league is probably no coincidence – after all, it’s quite useful there. That is, its evolution Irokex.

Irokex may fly under the radar for some players, but it is a useful Dark/Fighting-type monster in PvP. In the Super League ranking of PvPoke, based on battle simulations, Irokex ranks 27th among the best monsters overall. It is listed as a good counter against popular PvP monsters such as Swampert, Alolan Marowak, Umbreon, or Galarian Lickilicky. However, it has problems against top-tier monsters like Azumarill, Registeel, or Panzaeron (via PvPoke).

It can learn, for example, the fast move Counter and the charged moves Power-Up Punch and Foul Play. Both charges quickly, and Power-Up Punch increases Irokex’s attack. A combination that takes down Rocket Boss Giovanni as well.

So, if you’re looking for another option in PvP, you shouldn’t miss the research breakthrough. And if you don’t have Zurrokex and Irokex in your Pokédex, then definitely not.

In addition to the Zurrokex breakthrough, August offers a lot of other events, from Community Day to Spotlight Hour. Here you can find an overview of all Pokémon events in August 2020.

New trick of the pros in CoD MW & Warzone gives you the advantage in every duel

Benedict Grothaus 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

To win a duel in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and in CoD Warzone, you don’t necessarily need perfect aiming. It’s enough to make your opponent miss you. A new movement trick from the pros helps with that.

What is this trick? Professional player Anthony “Shotzzy” Cuevas-Castro has discovered a new trick that can confuse opponents in the Battle Royale Warzone and in the multiplayer mode of Modern Warfare.

With the unique movement, you drop to the ground from a sprint and jump less than a second later. It does require a bit of practice, but it works on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The trick is so new that it doesn’t even have a name yet. Some users and players have only called it “Belly Flop” so far, but whether the name will stick remains to be seen.

How do I perform it? You need to execute several movements directly in succession. The sequence is:

sprint
slide
cancel the slide (“Slide Cancel”)
immediately drop to the ground
jump as soon as you lay down – the pro advises to “spam” the jump button

It sounds like a cheat code from early 90s games or like a complicated combo from a fighting game, but apparently it works very well. Shotzzy demonstrates the trick along with a few others in the video:

The “Slide Cancel” was supposed to be removed at the beginning of 2020, but it is still functioning. Many pros rely on it, and it has now become a trick that many players use in all modes.

“Belly Flop” helps in duels

Here’s why it’s so helpful: As Shotzzy shows in the video, his hitbox changes enormously while he is moving. Players have to follow you vertically with the crosshairs and keep readjusting, especially when aiming for the head.

At the same time, the hitbox is minimized by lying down, making it harder to hit you at all. For you, not much changes, allowing you to easily keep your crosshair on the opponent.

What can I do against it? When playing against this trick, the tips for generally better aiming will help you. For controller users, this means you need to configure the aim assist correctly and find the appropriate dead zone settings.

Additionally, certain tricks and settings will help you gain an advantage in the game to react faster. We reveal those to you here:

Moreover, there are expert aim training sessions to help you cope better with moving opponents and specific weapons.

More tips: In multiplayer, it helps to play proactively. If you already suspect that an opponent might come around the corner, try to intercept him or find cover to let him run into your fire. Many maps provide the opportunity to monitor corners well.

In Warzone, it is helpful to move correctly. If you’re struggling against this trick, avoid cities and alleyways where you need to fight at close range and instead seek open fields. Here you have more space and can safely approach or retreat with the right movement techniques.

Former Sony executive says: If the PS4 had flopped, it might have been the end

Benedikt Schlotmann 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

PlayStation is an important brand for Sony today. But it could have been different, as a former Sony manager explains. If the PS4 had flopped, it could have meant the end for PlayStation. One reason for this is also the PS3, which was anything but successful.

Who is speaking? The statement comes from former Sony manager Shahid Ahmad. He worked for PlayStation for about 10 years and left the company at the end of 2015. At the company, he was responsible for strategic content, among other things.

What exactly did he say? Ahmad explained in a conversation (via gamingbolt) that the PS4 was very important for PlayStation. So important, in fact, that a flop could possibly have meant the end for PlayStation. He recounts:

I believe even we were surprised by how enthusiastic the reception for the PS4 was, as it was also a kind of redemption. We had gone through the fire with the PS3, and now everything was at stake. We had to get this right, and if we hadn’t succeeded, it could have been the end [for PlayStation].
Shahid Ahmad, former Sony manager; Source: gamingbolt.com

If PlayStation had ceased to exist, there would likely have been no PlayStation 5.

PS5 lying — If the PS4 had not been successful, the PS5 might not have existed at all.

Thus, the success of the PS4 was so important for PlayStation

With the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2, Sony established a strong brand in the console market. The PS2 is still the best-selling console in the world.

But with the release of the PS3, things suddenly looked very different. Sales were sluggish and were disastrous compared to the PS2.

Thus, the PS3 performed so poorly: There are various reasons why the PlayStation 3 could not build on the success of the PS2.

The PS3 had a new, complex system architecture. This made game development comparatively difficult for developers.
Sony responded relatively slowly to problems.
The launch of the PlayStation 3 had to be postponed multiple times.
Compared to the PS2, the price of the PS3 was set too high. 599 Euros was too much money for many buyers, accordingly, the buyers stayed away.

However, the biggest mistake was the very high price. One reason why there is currently discussion about the potential price of the PS5.

Thus, the price of the PS3 was a problem: After many gamers had spent good money on modern technology and DVD players with the PlayStation 2, the strategy did not work with the PlayStation 3. For many, 599 Euros for the 60-GByte model with Wi-Fi support and Blu-ray player was just too much.

The constant postponement of the console also contributed to this: Initially, it was announced for spring 2006, then November 2006, and finally March 2007. This is said to have caused Sony to lose many potential buyers.

PS3 as “Icarus Moment” at PlayStation: The PS4 was to learn from the mistakes of the PS3

Shawn Layden, the head of Sony Worldwide Studios, referred to the PS3 as an “Icarus Moment” in the history of PlayStation (via gamingbolt). After the failed launch of the PlayStation 3, something new had to be devised, as this could not continue.

This is what Sony did better with the PS4: With the PlayStation 4, Sony tried to take a different path and learn from the mistakes. Layden explained:

We listened to developers and gamers. We listened to Mark Cerny [lead architect of the PS4]. We created the PS4, a console for both developers and fans. We focused on the quality of our games, on developing titles that withstand the test of time, as the best works of art often do.
Shawn Layden, head of Sony Worldwide Studios; Source: gamingbolt.com

The PlayStation 4 was easier to handle and significantly more accessible at launch than the PS3. With the low price, one could also differentiate oneself from the direct competition.

There are still people today who have only just discovered the PlayStation 4 due to COVID. For example, one father, who actually hates gaming but has become a fan of the PS4.

Diablo 3: Two classes fight for the top spot in the Season 21 leaderboard

Patrick Freese 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Season 21 of Diablo 3, two classes are currently leading the leaderboard and stand out from the rest. The Demon Hunter has tough competition as a contender for the number 1 spot on the leaderboard.

What’s happening in Diablo 3? Exactly one month ago, on July 3, 2020, Season 21 started in Diablo 3. When such a season begins, players start completely from “zero” and earn gold, experience points, and equipment with their fresh characters from the ground up.

A new balance patch often coincides with the start of a season, which slightly alters the strengths of each class. That’s why we regularly check the leaderboards for Diablo 3 at MeinMMO and give you an overview of which classes are currently on top.

Leaderboard of Season 21 in Diablo 3 – October 3

What do we see here? Here we show you the current state of the seasonal solo leaderboard for Season 21 in Diablo 3 in softcore. Status: August 3rd at 14:35.

What builds are being played? We will link you to the hero profiles of the players who set the best times behind each entry. There you can then view their builds on Blizzard’s website. Keep in mind that these builds were used to set the best times and may have changed since then.

Demon Hunter – GR 150 in ~ 13 minutes and 55 seconds (Hero profile on Diablo3.com)
Barbarian – GR 150 in ~ 14 minutes and 35 seconds (Hero profile on Diablo3.com)
Necromancer – GR 143 in ~ 10 minutes and 55 seconds (Hero profile on Diablo3.com)
Witch Doctor – GR 140 in ~ 12 minutes and 32 seconds (Hero profile on Diablo3.com)
Crusader – GR 136 in ~ 14 minutes and 21 seconds (Hero profile on Diablo3.com)
Monk – GR 134 in ~ 14 minutes and 46 seconds (Hero profile on Diablo3.com)
Wizard – GR 130 in ~ 12 minutes and 56 seconds (Hero profile on Diablo3.com)

What’s special about that? The Demon Hunter is returning to the top of the leaderboard after years of absence. However, the lead over the Barbarian is very slim. A neck-and-neck race has emerged in the rankings. Here it should be noted that the Barbarian’s best time in the rankings occurred before the hotfix that adjusted the seasonal theme by Blizzard.

In the last seasons, the Demon Hunter was usually found in one of the last spots, if not the last. The new “GoD” set pushes the class significantly forward.

However, it is also evident that the Barbarian remains extremely strong and can almost keep up with the Demon Hunter. The Whirlwind build is popular in the community and is still played today. Spin to win!

In the tier list for Season 21 of Diablo 3, you can see which sets currently have the most potential for the various classes. If you want to see yourself on one of the leaderboard spots here, then it’s best to use the builds shown there.

In group play, the leaderboard looks very different. The largest portals are completed in just a few minutes. The reason is a mechanic that players actually considered cheating. But Blizzard says: This mechanic in Diablo 3 is not an exploit, but intended.

Valorant: G2 declares itself the “Real Madrid” of e-sports – Can have anyone

Benedict Grothaus 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The E-sports in the new shooter Valorant is slowly gaining momentum and already has a top favorite: G2 Esports, the organization that has already made a name for itself in League of Legends. Its CEO sees his team as a kind of “Real Madrid” of E-sports. You can have any player you want.

Who is G2 Esports? The E-sports organization based in Berlin has existed since 2014 (then still under the name Gamers) and was founded by former LoL pro Carlos “ocelote” Rodríguez and his partner Jens Hilgers. ocelote is still the CEO today.

The organization maintains teams in several disciplines, where they often rank at the top, including League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Rainbow Six Siege, where they are currently participating in the GSA League.

Since the release of Valorant, G2 Esports has also assembled a team for this new discipline. Instead of simply acquiring a complete team, the organization picks individual players and builds the team itself. This approach seems to be working.

G2 Esports is that successful: Although Valorant currently has no own E-sports, several tournaments are already running in various leagues. G2 Esports has participated in four of them so far and won all four (via liquipedia).

The team managed to win its last victory in the Mandatory.gg Cup, which had a prize pool of €15,000, a quite impressive sum. Already, some pros are raving about how much money they can make with Valorant.

More on the topic

Why the best LoL team in Europe is now investing so much in Valorant

von Jürgen Horn

G2 Esports is the “Real Madrid” of E-sports

What makes the team so good? In a short interview with the US magazine Forbes, CEO ocelote talked about his team and how it is structured. Unlike other organizations, G2 Esports does not purchase an established team in Valorant, but builds it themselves.

To this end, they recruited Oscae “mixwell” Cañellas Colocho, a former CS:GO pro who played and won in the highest tournaments until 2018. G2 wanted to build the team around him – which was quite easy, as the CEO reveals, because somehow everyone wants to be part of it:

G2 has fortunately become the go-to organization for players who want to win and have fun at the same time. Just as it historically happened with Real Madrid in football, it is now happening with G2 Esports in video game competition.
ocelote in an interview with Forbes

According to ocelote, it is harder to “hit the nail on the head” when doing it this way, without purchasing a “ready-made” team, but building it yourself. It was coincidental that they managed to attract particularly pros from Counter-Strike.

The former CS:GO pro Ardis “ardiis” Savarenieks was also to be recruited by G2 – his past initially hindered this. The team he was eventually recruited from is Fish123, which ocelote now describes as one of the strongest in Valorant.

Instead of purchasing the 5-man team Fish123, G2 only extracted the star player ardiis and added him to their own team. This ruined Fish123’s plan to become professionals together.

5 friends could have become pros in Valorant, but one shatters the dream

von Schuhmann

Apparently, G2’s system is working quite well, as the successes show. It helps create a community and a fanbase around the team. The goal now is to become better and make Valorant the most popular tactical shooter for PC “on the planet”.

What is the current state of E-sports? Valorant is still in the early days of its release and is slowly moving forward from there. There is already an E-sports scene, but no official tournaments yet. However, these will come.

The first major tournament “100 Thieves Invitational” took place in April 2020 and was hosted by the E-sports organization 100 Thieves. There was no prize money at that time, but notable participants like the former shooter pro shroud and the star streamer Ninja. These are good signs for the future of Valorant E-sports.

CoD MW, Warzone: The First can load Season 5 already – Preload live on PS4

Sven Galitzki 3. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone, there is currently a real novelty. For the first time ever, CoD: MW allows you to preload a patch. The preload for the big Season 5 update has started on PS4.

Novelty in CoD MW – there is an update preload: Soon, on August 5th, Season 5 will start for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD: Warzone.

Traditionally, the start of a new season is heralded by an update. This is also the case for Season 5. However, what is different this time is that there appears to be a preload for the big seasonal update – a first since the game’s release. Some players can already download it.

You can find more about the new Season 5 here:

This is what many have been waiting for: The updates for MW and Warzone are often huge. Some players have been struggling with storage space problems (especially on consoles) and particularly with long download times.

Many have long wished for a way to preload such patches so that they can jump into the new content right on launch. And now it seems that this wish is finally being fulfilled.

On which platforms is the preload active? Currently, reports of the preload starting on PS4 are emerging. While not all players can load the new update yet, it is clearly being rolled out gradually in different regions. So if it isn’t available to you yet, it is probably just a matter of time.

Recommended editorial content

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

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

Link to the Twitter content

If you are on Xbox One or PC – please let us know in the comments if the preload is live for you too.

How large is the download this time? The developers had already warned that the new patch for Season 5 would be large again. On PS4, the update 1.24 that brings Season 5 is slightly larger than 36 GB.

What you should still consider: For the preload of the update, players are randomly divided into 2 groups. The first can start as early as Monday, August 3rd (48 hours before the start of Season 5), while the second will have the preload unlocked on Tuesday, August 4th (24 hours before the start of the new season).

Furthermore, the update will be preloaded, but it will only be installed and activated on Wednesday at 8:00 AM German time – right at the start of Season 5. You will still be able to play Modern Warfare and Warzone, but you won’t have access to the new content until then.

By the way, if you also have storage space issues on consoles: CoD MW weighs almost 200 GB: Team advises how to reduce it on PS4, Xbox One

Blade & Soul: Players “cheat” themselves rich – NCSoft asks to refrain from doing this

Andreas Bertits 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In the MMORPG Blade & Soul, an exploit is currently allowing players to become rich. Even the economy is suffering from it. However, the developers’ response to the problem has led to some criticism.

What happened? The MMORPG Blade & Soul just received a new class. But currently, something completely different is the number one topic. It is possible to buy the Moontide Outfit from the NPC Gu Okrim in Bamboo Village. For this, you currently have to pay 2 Designer Threads.

However, if you dismantle the outfit, you will get 10 Designer Threads back. So, players are currently buying a lot of these outfits.

They then invest the Designer Threads in the Rosethorn Chest, which also costs 2 Threads. This chest has a chance of containing a pet. The pets can then be converted into so-called Pet Packs.

The players then sell the Pet Packs on the market for gold and thus become rich – or should become rich, if the price hadn’t already totally collapsed.

Because the exploit is now having a strong impact on the game’s economy. Before the exploit, these Pet Packs sold for around 200 gold. This led to some players being able to earn more than 100,000 gold in a single day. But now, as so many players wanted to get rich through this exploit, they are only worth 15 gold. The entire market has collapsed.

The exploit also affects the price of soul stones. Because these are needed to convert the pets into Pet Packs. The price of soul stones is now rising significantly.

A Request from the Developers

What do the developers say about the situation? In the official forum, there is a statement. The following can be read:

We are aware of the problem that the Moontide Outfit is being sold for lower costs of Designer Threads than planned. We have also recognized the purchase abuse related to this issue. Therefore, we ask you not to buy the Moontide Outfit from the NPC Gu Okrim in Bamboo Village.
We understand that some of you may have already purchased the outfit from this NPC, so we ask you to refrain from further purchases until this issue is resolved. Thank you!
Developers in the official forum

The developers are simply asking players not to buy the outfit. No rollback or anything similar is planned.

Anyone exploiting the exploit may face a temporary ban.

What do the players think about this? There are heated discussions in the official Blade & Soul forum.

pato 1 writes in the official forum: “We need a rollback!”
blooash23 is quite angry: “Are you joking? There’s only a ban for 3 to 7 days for abusing the bug that allowed one to earn 100,000 gold in just one day?”
PRrexoe says: “Yes, mistakes were made, but look at the positive side. PvP has been revitalized, players can upgrade again, it has brought more players into the game…”
WasFornel sees things divided: “On the one hand, people received a lot of free outfits, didn’t have to grind for months to get a pet upgrade, and we got an insight into how the RNG in the game really works. On the other hand, there are people complaining about the fact that such a bug even exists.”

Currently, it remains open what will happen next. Whether there might still be a rollback or harsher penalties for exploiters.

We have contacted NCSoft to inquire how they will proceed with this situation. Once we receive a response, we will update the article.

The MMORPG Blade & Soul offers very interesting PvP battles, which is why it is among the 10 MMORPGs with the best PvP of all time.

A German is currently the largest streamer in the world – The king rules Twitch

Schuhmann 3. August 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

In the last 30 days, no channel has been watched more on Twitch than Jens “Knossi” Knosalla, a former contestant from game show and reality TV formats on German private television. He has become the star of German Twitch and has crowned himself the “one true king.”

Here’s how it went for Knossi before Twitch: A YouTube video chronicles the early years of today’s Twitch star. Knossi confirmed the accuracy of the statements on his own YouTube channel and was moved that someone had traced his life so closely. In general, Knossi makes no secret of his feelings. This is one of the reasons for his success: You can see at any time how he is feeling.

The 34-year-old wanted to be on television as a teenager and applied to Big Brother. Although the production company Endemol did not hire him, they recognized and certified his potential.

So at the age of 22, he landed on the Pro7 show “WipeOut,” where he made it to the last four. In the years that followed, he repeatedly appeared in guest roles in pseudo-documentaries like “Judge Alexander Hold” or “K11: Commisars in Action.” Considering this portrayal, Knossi himself asked, “Where are Lenßen and Partner, brother?”

He had 8 or 9 appearances on “Judge Barbara Salesch” as an amateur actor. In one role, he played a rapist. According to his own statements, on the day of the broadcast he was confronted in a supermarket by an older woman, asking why he wasn’t in jail.

Knossi’s thing became poker, where he made his mark in 2011 in a casting show, allowing him to start a career as a poker player and commentator. This brought him the recognition he so desired. The trained office clerk described himself as “media-hungry.”

This path through reality TV ultimately led to his own Twitch channel. He has been registered on the streaming platform since September 2014. At Twitch, he was finally able to gain a foothold with the support of people like MontanaBlack or Unsympathisch.TV through guest appearances. However, this took a while.

2018 only 437 viewers on average – 2020 the big German star

This is Knossi on Twitch: Knossi currently has 1.244 million followers on Twitch. This has allowed him to surpass Gronkh and move up to 4th place among the largest German-speaking channels. Besides Twitch, Knossi is active on YouTube, where he has 1.04 million subscribers.

Knossi mainly focuses on gambling formats; he plays on online slot machines or broadcasts poker.

He has been doing this for several years but has only found success in recent years. Knossi broadcasted in 2018 rather in the upper middle range on Twitch:

In 2018, he had an average of 437 viewers over 1008 hours on air
However, in 2019, Knossi already had an average of 8436 viewers over 887 hours on air
In July 2020, Knossi reached an average of 96,885 viewers

The streamer presents himself as “the one true king” and wears a crown. In the streams, he appears emotional and sometimes yells at the slot machines, pleading for the right combination and grappling with his fate. Knossi is loud. The fans seem to love that about him.

Link to the Twitch content

This is behind the success: The largest German streamer, Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris, had established gambling on German Twitch, but then himself stopped transmitting gambling. This created a gap in 2019 that Knossi apparently fills. Since then, his career has gained momentum.

Knossi is particularly praised for his innovative ideas. In mid-July, he implemented a large, high-quality event at a swimming lake; the rapper “Sido” was the star of the camp. The participants wanted to fish and endure, regardless of what wind, weather, and other circumstances might be against it.

The fishing camp broke the German viewer record on Twitch and followed a similar pattern to the reality TV formats that Knossi had participated in 10 years earlier.

Knossi leads the top 5 on Twitch

These are the 5 largest streamers right now: The basis is the “most watched hours” on Twitch in the last 30 days starting from August 3, 2020 (via sullygnome):

In 5th place is Fextralife with 6.23 million hours – the variety streamer has 24,090 viewers when he plays the new PS4 hit Ghost of Tsushima
4th place goes to Asmongold with 6.584 million watched hours – the WoW super nerd plays almost exclusively World of Warcraft, where an average of 42,570 people watch him. Asmongold is known for his analyses; he talks about God, the world, and deer girls while playing the MMORPG

3rd place goes to Nickmercs with 7.898 million hours – he plays almost exclusively Call of Duty and has 46,273 viewers. He is the type of uncomplicated entertainer with a 3-day beard: a strong shooter player
2nd place goes to xQc with 11.282 million hours. The variety streamer has established his own style. He often reacts to videos of others. In “Just Chatting,” an average of 33,461 people watch him. This is less than others, but xQc is on air for incredibly long periods. He is seen as the streamer for “young viewers on Twitch“. Taking the calendar month of July 2020 as a benchmark, xQc was number one.

Twitch xQc.v1 — xQc is especially popular with young viewers.

In 1st place over the last 30 days is indeed TheRealKnossi, the German who came from reality TV. He was watched for 12.270 million hours. Normally, Knossi does not play in the top league, but the big fishing event currently brings him into the illustrious circle of top stars on Twitch. During the multi-day special event, an average of 149,983 viewers watched him. Here he broke the German viewer record.

The current boom of Knossi is mainly due to the 3 days in July 2020 when the “Fishing Camp” set new standards on German Twitch. Never before had so many viewers watched a German Twitch channel simultaneously:

MMORPG Ashes of Creation has dungeons so large that you actually need flying mounts

Andreas Bertits 3. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A new video about the upcoming MMORPG Ashes of Creation (PC) showcases, among other things, a massive dungeon. This dungeon is so large that you could use flying mounts in it.

What was shown? In a new gameplay video, the developers of the MMORPG Ashes of Creation talked about gathering resources and presented a dungeon. This particular dungeon is especially interesting as it is truly enormous. The developers also emphasize their commitment to creating a vast world – this includes gigantic dungeons.

The developers flew in the video from an alpha version of the online game on a huge moth, which you can obtain as a mount in the MMORPG, through the immense halls. You can, of course, also travel on the ground, but then you will have to rely on horses to cover the large distances.

If you want, you can also walk, but then you will spend a really long time in the dungeon. It is still unclear to what extent flying mounts will be allowed in the dungeons at the release of the MMORPG. It could be that some areas are only accessible on foot or that flying creatures are not allowed in all dungeons – or ultimately in none for balancing reasons. In the alpha, however, it seems possible to simply fly in with flying mounts.

You can see the huge dungeon in the video starting at about minute 43.

You are not alone in the dungeons!

What else is special about the dungeon? Besides its immense size, where you are traveling for minutes even with a flying mount, there is another special feature:

The dungeons in Ashes of Creation are not instanced. This means you share the vaults with other players. This explains why the displayed dungeon is so large. After all, a lot of players can be present there.

This also leads to skirmishes over treasures or monster spawn points. Ashes of Creation is an MMORPG that places great importance on PvP. Therefore, conflicts between player groups could arise in the dungeons. Whether PvP is allowed everywhere is still uncertain. However, the developers have stated that no one is forced into PvP.

However, you will need to get used to the fact that not only you and your group are in the dungeon wanting to fight the massive dragon, but you will also encounter other groups along the way.

What else can be seen in the video? The developers also talked about gathering resources in Ashes of Creation. You can only mine certain resources once you have reached a specific level. Furthermore, your tools wear out over time. The better you are at gathering resources, the higher your chance of finding rare resources.

Additionally, for example, ore veins do not provide resources indefinitely. At some point, everything is mined. However, a new vein will appear at a different location.

What do you think of the dungeons in Ashes of Creation? Would you have preferred instances?

Ashes of Creation is an extremely interesting MMORPG. It could perhaps even become the online role-playing game that everyone is waiting for.

Blizzard bans players from WoW Classic for a bad joke

Cortyn 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Be careful with bad jokes in WoW Classic. They can also lead to a ban that can last quite a long time.

In World of Warcraft Classic, players are regularly banned. Usually, it affects bots and cheaters, but occasionally a few innocent players are removed from the game as well. Recently, there was a case that caused a stir on Reddit. A player was banned for making a joke – one that was quite obviously recognizable as such.

What happened? The user giganticmom posted in the WoW Classic subreddit a message from a Game Master that he had received. It explains why his game account was suspended for 7 days. The Game Master stated that there was a violation of the in-game rules because giganticmom had written in the chat that he “possessed a fly hack and had unlimited ammunition”.

Is the ban justified?

What exactly did he do? As the player admits in the subreddit, he had a macro that he would occasionally use in the trade channel as an “obvious” fake offer. His macro reads (translated) as follows:

WTS ZG boost for 15 gold 鳄鱼 (River Crocolisk) and 虎 (Wild Cat), I am the second most professional player ever. Still 1 spot left, I have a fly hack and unlimited ammunition AND I AM NOT A BOT

Other things, like ravaging Stormwind for 4 months, do not lead to a ban …

Is the reaction appropriate? It is hard to say. For most players, it seemed relatively obvious that the macro was just a joke. After all, hardly anyone would advertise that they are “only” the second most professional player ever.

However, encouraging the use of hacks and cheat tools is prohibited and can result in penalties – just as has occurred in this case. After all, Blizzard does not want such programs to be mentioned. Because that could lead players to become interested and ultimately resort to such hacks themselves. It would therefore be indirect advertising.

This may seem a bit surprising, as players using bots and hacks are a constant topic in the general channels, yet it fundamentally does not comply with the rules.

The Game Master also mentions that previous penalties are taken into account when applying new ones. Whether giganticmom’s account had been previously flagged is unclear, but it would explain the severity of this penalty for a “joke”.

Some streamers even have “private GMs” that they use to go after other players …

This is how other players react: Other players are hilariously amused by the Game Master’s reaction and the reason for the ban. They find it interesting that players are banned for obvious jokes, while actual bots continue to roam freely in the game. Zarianin, for instance, says:

I really can’t decide what my favorite part of the GM’s response is:
1. That he says they want to keep the game fun for everyone while banning a player who is making a joke
2. His question that you should participate in a survey to rate him, even though he admits that his response seems drastic.
3. Or that he banned you for pretending to have hacks, while actual hackers get away with it every day.

There is more drama currently around the opening of Ahn’Qiraj – many accounts are getting bans there, but for different reasons.

Have you ever been punished for a bad joke in one of the channels? Or have you never experienced anything like that?

CoD MW, Warzone: Does Season 5 bring a new sniper? Leak shows first gameplay

Sven Galitzki 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD: Warzone, Season 5 will start soon. Two new weapons are essentially already known, and there is still speculation about the third. However, there is much to suggest a new sniper – the R700.

What new weapons will Season 5 bring? On August 5, Season 5 will start for CoD: MW and Call of Duty: Warzone. Not much is known yet about the contents of the new season, but some fresh details were revealed by Infinity Ward in the past few days.

It is said that a completely new faction, the Shadow Company, will be introduced. And also two new weapons have already been discovered by observant fans, which will most likely expand your arsenal in Season 5.

There is still speculation about the third (and possibly fourth) new weapon of Season 5. For a while, there have already been indications of another new sniper rifle. A new leak with initial gameplay now reaffirms the possible new sniper.

New leak shows iconic R700 in-game – But not quite finished yet

This is the weapon in question: It is the classic and iconic sniper rifle R700 from Remington, which was used in the original Modern Warfare 1 and was very strong and popular there.

This is shown in the leak video: The video comes from the well-known and reliable data miner BKTOOR. He discovered initial data some weeks ago, and now a short clip provides the first moving images of the R700 in action.

However, it is still an unfinished asset. For example, the textures are still missing. The model, animations, and sound are already complete, and this new sniper can already shoot. But see for yourself:

Although the leaker says it could possibly also be a DMR and not a sniper, this is very unlikely since the weapon is a classic sniper rifle – whether in games or real life.

When will this sniper arrive? BKTOOR hopes for Season 5 but assumes that the weapon could come with the mid-season update. After all, it is not yet fully finished, and the new season starts soon.

However, the Rytec AMR was discovered shortly before Season 4 in a similar “raw condition”. And in Season 4 the sniper was introduced with the mid-season update. That the same could happen with the R700 is not far-fetched and is actually very likely.

This weapon is also in question: In addition to the R700, entries for the M200 Intervention were also found some time ago – another popular sniper in CoD.

However, there seem to be only entries for it at the moment and no showcase-worthy in-game assets. Thus, a quick appearance seems rather unlikely.

But who knows, in Season 4, the Cali Sticks were also introduced as the first fourth weapon in the game. Maybe Season 5 will follow suit and also bring 4 new weapons during the season.

By the way, the update for Season 5 apparently needs quite a bit of space on the hard drive again, but there’s also something good about it: CoD MW & Warzone: Update for Season 5 is large, but saves disk space

According to the leak: 4 points in which the DualSense is supposed to be better than the DualShock

Benedikt Schlotmann 3. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A leak via reddit has mentioned the advantages of the DualSense over the DualShock 4. Especially the battery life is said to be significantly better. However, one should take the leak with caution.

Where do the information come from? The leak comes from a reddit post. According to the post starter, the original post was deleted, but he shares the facts about the DualSense. To strengthen his credibility, he also uploaded a nearly 10-second video sequence of the DualSense.

How reliable is the information? The information presented here should be taken with caution, as they are not official. Also, the poster’s note that the hints do not come directly from him seems initially not very trustworthy.

First official gameplay of the DualSense was shown at the end of July: Here, the gaming journalist Geoff Keighley showcased the PS5 controller.

4 things that the DualSense is supposed to do better than the DualShock

The DualSense controller is said to have 3 to 4 hours more battery life than the DualShock 4. This would double the battery life.
The L2 and R2 triggers are more comfortable to grip, thanks to the new adaptive triggers. One developer praised the adaptive triggers.
Additionally, the DualSense is said to be significantly more comfortable to hold and provide more comfort than the DualShock 4. The reason for this is the round, ergonomic shape of the DualSense.
The touchpad is said to be much more responsive, while the D-Pad and main buttons are said to feel like the DualShock.

What the DualSense is not supposed to do: The leak also addresses a problem that the DualSense has compared to the DualShock 4: Due to the new light bar, which is much darker, the DualSense is no longer compatible with PlayStation VR (PSVR).

This could not be tested: According to the leak, neither the haptic feedback nor the built-in microphone in the DualSense could be tested. So we need to be patient a bit longer.

Pokémon GO: Save your Kapuno encounters until today – It’s worth it

Patrick Freese 3. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In the limited research for the Dragon Week in Pokémon GO, you will encounter Swablu twice. Save these encounters until Tuesday evening, because then you’ll get more candies.

Why wait? On Friday evening, the Limited Research for the Hyperbonus 2020 started simultaneously with the Dragon Week in Pokémon GO. Spread across 5 steps, you will receive quests and rewards. Among the rewards are two encounters with Swablu.

If you haven’t claimed these yet, you should wait until Tuesday evening. Swablu is extremely rare in Pokémon GO. An egg analysis of the Dragon Week shows this as well. Therefore, it is important to make the most of these rare encounters.

In combination with the spotlight hour, you will receive more candies and can make the most of the encounter. We will show you how to do this.

Collect Swablu Candies – Get 12 Right Away

How does this work? In step 3 of the limited research for the Hyperbonus 2020, you will receive your first encounter with Swablu as a reward. You can start this and leave right away without catching the Pokémon. The prompt to catch will then be listed under the research in the Today view.

This way, you won’t lose the encounter. You will then continue playing until step 5 and encounter Swablu again there.

During the spotlight hour with Seel ditto, you will earn double candies for catching Pokémon. It takes place on Tuesday evening from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time.

Complete the research from step 3 of the limited research
Claim all rewards, but do not catch the Swablu.
Now proceed with step 4 of the research.
Claim the rewards of each step, but not the total stage reward.
After starting the spotlight hour on Tuesday, catch the saved Swablu with a Razz Berry.
Now claim the stage reward from step 4 – you will catch Farfetch’d.
Now collect the rewards from step 5 – these will all be automatically completed.
As a stage reward from step 5, there is now the second encounter with Swablu – also catch this one with a Razz Berry.

While it is also possible to stack multiple Pokémon encounters and claim all rewards at once, according to reddit user ntnl, this is the most reliable method.

In August, many cool events await you in Pokémon GO. If you want to get more candies from sending, it’s best to wait until the spotlight hour with Sableye. That’s when decluttering your Pokémon space really pays off.

Top streamer plays MMORPG ESO for 210 hours on Twitch, but fails

Schuhmann 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Jaryd “summit1g” Lazar is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. He is known for establishing games solo on the platform. Now he wanted to do that with the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, but ends it after 210 hours. The game is wearing him out, his channel shrank.

This is the special thing about summit1g: The former CS:GO pro has one of the five largest channels on Twitch with over 5.24 million. However, he rarely plays what is trending, instead setting his own accents. He is considered a calm and factual player, creating a relaxed atmosphere: a streamer where viewers can feel comfortable and unwind.

summit1g is so big and has such a unique style that he can establish games alone on Twitch. For example, he made the previously unnoticed Sea of Thieves suddenly a popular game on Twitch in January 2019.

After spending a lot of time with Valorant and roleplay in GTA 5 in recent months, he suddenly turned to the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online in mid-July. This is also not an established title on Twitch, currently sitting at rank 51.

The MMORPG ESO was apparently recommended to him by his friend shroud, who is currently on a streaming break. At the beginning of his time, summit1g also seemed enthusiastic.

He said: “Maybe I’m addicted to ESO.” (via twitter)

summit1g increases ESO viewer numbers by 63%

This much ESO he played: Since July 13, summit1g has been broadcasting for 210 hours on ESO. On average, 11,889 people watched him.

The sheer power of the streamer temporarily caused a boom for ESO. The viewed hours of ESO increased by 63% in the last 14 days. In ESO, however, there was actually little going on, as the Greymoor expansion was already released in mid-May.

After the initial enthusiasm for the game, disillusionment set in quickly.

ESO simply wears out streamers

This was the problem: summit1g played a lot of ESO in recent weeks, but was dissatisfied with himself. He said that since he started playing the MMO, it brings a different vibe to the channel.

The streamer himself developed a different attitude. He began to become “salty”, complaining too often and grumbling. This then transferred to the chat (via twitch).

He also complained live on stream about dungeons in PvE, going into a tirade. He said this would be the last dungeon he ever goes into, and he will now only play PvP. This is all so stupid, in dungeons it’s only about “walking slowly”. That is the only mechanic.

So summit1g is sometimes like this, he was already like this before, but this is apparently not what he wants and what his viewers expect from him.

The figures of his channel also noticeably suffered under the new programming. During the time with ESO, only about half as many people watched him as in GTA 5. In addition, he lost over 91,000 followers during the 210 hours in the MMORPG: his channel shrank.

This is how it ended: On August 2, summit1g announced that he would step back from ESO. He apparently pulled the emergency brake after he announced the day before: ESO sends him on an emotional roller coaster.

summit wants to try a new game now. He has now decided on Guild Wars 2.

In a first stream, over 24,000 people on average watched him. Maybe he can now help Guild Wars 2 breakthrough on Twitch, if he does not become salty again.

PvP MMO — Why do MMORPGs struggle on Twitch?

MMORPGs are still not playing a big role on Twitch in 2020. The boom that WoW Classic initiated in 2019 is over. Currently, other games again dominate the platform, and in every Twitch hit, it’s actually about PvP. Why is it actually that MMORPGs don’t take off on Twitch?

PvP titles are booming on Twitch! Why aren’t MMORPGs succeeding?

Fortnite disables motorboats for everyone – A nasty fish glitch is presumably to blame

Eilyn Rapp 3. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, the motorboats have been temporarily disabled in all modes. The reason for this could be a fish glitch that allowed players to gain an unfair advantage to win.

This is the situation: Fortnite Status announced on Twitter on August 3rd that they have disabled the motorboats in all game modes. There have been issues that need a fix.

They are looking into it, but it is still unclear when the motorboats will be reactivated.

Recommended editorial content

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

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

Link to the Twitter content

Under the tweet, some players pointed out a glitch that was discovered recently. They suspect that this is why the motorboats had to be disabled.

Fish glitch makes players immortal

What kind of exploit is this? Players had found a way to spawn unlimited healing items like floppers. This allowed them to heal in the storm, which takes away their health points, until the match is over.

For this, they only needed a motorboat, a healing item, and a weapon. With the right timing, they could rack up thousands of health points. If they then eliminated themselves and were retrieved by a teammate with a reboot van back into the match, the floppers would appear.

A similar exploit occurred in Season 10, where players could recharge unlimited shields.

The YouTuber Glitch King, who has uncovered several glitches in Fortnite, demonstrated this unfair fish exploit and how it works:

https://youtu.be/17rgHZIEQF0?t=21

The YouTuber Glitch King shows in the video how the fish glitch worked.
Mobile users, please skip to 21 seconds

Although Fortnite Status did not provide a proper reason why the motorboats were disabled, the video from Glitch King, uploaded on August 2nd, has 190,000 views and may have drawn Epic’s attention, prompting their response.

After all, this glitch is quite unfair. Players can “hide” at the edge of the map until the storm spreads across the whole map. Honest players cannot avoid storm damage anymore, while glitchers can constantly heal themselves with the floppers.

It is also not the first time Epic has responded to such a glitch and disabled affected items. An exploit was so unfair that they had to remove grenades from the game shortly afterwards.

Even Bungie doesn’t know if you can destroy your old armor in Destiny 2

Philipp Hansen 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny 2 is finally set to receive real transmog. Players are eager for new information, and finally Bungie is speaking up after a long silence, but they struggle to provide solid details.

This is the feature players are excited about: Destiny 2 is finally supposed to get a proper transmog feature announced by Destiny head Luke Smith in May 2020. Since then, however, the topic has gone quiet – at least officially.

The announcement brought joy to guardians, as players know and love transmog from many other MMORPGs and MMOs.

What is Transmog? Transmogrification (shortened to transmog) refers to a system where armor and clothing are cosmetically altered. New equipment pieces can assume the appearance of already earned older items.
This is useful when the new armor is stronger or at a higher level but does not appeal visually. This way, players can look how they like without sacrificing the power of new items.

This is why players are upset: Bungie has remained silent on the topic for months. It is only known that the new system is expected in Year 4. So far, Destiny 2 only has a stripped-down version of gear transformation.

Through ornaments, certain armors can already be placed as skins over legendary armors. However, only a few armors are available as ornament skins: Most are armors from the Eververse (in-game shop) or the Season Pass. Many of the rare and especially good-looking outfits that players work hard for cannot be used as skins – such as raids or Trials armor.

These armors clog the guardians’ vaults, because even if they are not useful level-wise, players do not want to part with their achievements. The announced transmog feature raised hopes for empty vaults and cool, strong armors.

Players now want to know if they can still use armors for transmog once destroyed but registered in the collection – that is, whether it is sufficient to have once owned them. Or whether one actually needs to have a physical copy somewhere in their inventory to use this item for transmogrification.

Guardians are constantly asking via reddit and official forums for updates on the transmog topic. One such post recently caused a stir again. A simple question was raised:

Bungie, we just want a yes or no: Can we use armors from the collection for transmog?
TheHobgobling19 via reddit

So anyone who wants to be safe will continue to store everything in the vault, because not even Bungie currently knows if you are allowed to dismantle your armors.

More on the topic

Destiny 2: Players are irritated by sending their favorite armor into retirement – Here’s what Bungie says

von Schuhmann

This topic will soon heat up even more: On August 11, the summer event “Solstice of Heroes” will start. The focus is traditionally on one of the best-looking armors in the game – you can see this year’s version in the cover image.

However, to obtain the special armor, a tough grind must always be undertaken. We hope that Bungie will soon provide new information on transmog and make the Solstice of Heroes tempting for players.

In less than a day, the post received 7,500 upvotes, and nearly 800 comments were discussing among guardians. This time, Bungie even joined the conversation.

Bungie comments on the transmog topic in Destiny 2

This is what Bungie says: Bungie’s community manager Cozmo responds on reddit: As soon as they can provide a definite yes or no, they will let players know. It continues: We do not want to make promises that will lead players to dismantle their armors. In closing, Cozmo thanks the community for their patience.

No new information is currently available. Whether this means Bungie themselves are still in the dark about transmog or how they will finalize it can only be speculated.

So anyone who wants to be safe will continue to store everything in the vault, because not even Bungie currently knows if you are allowed to dismantle your armors.

World of Tanks shows mercy to the bad guys and lifts bans – But not all

Andreas Bertits 3. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Players banned in World of Tanks can hope for redemption. Wargaming announced an amnesty campaign for the 10th anniversary of the online game, during which some bans will be lifted.

What was announced exactly? Wargaming stated that the 10th anniversary of World of Tanks is approaching. They want to give those who received a permanent ban in the game and chat the chance to play again.

Players are given a second chance to reflect on what matters most to them in a game.

We hope that players who receive an amnesty will be able to learn from their mistakes and adhere to the principles of fair play. However, if they are caught violating the rules again, they will be banned immediately, and this time for good.
Anton Pankov, Product Director

Wargaming Grants Amnesty

Which players are specifically mentioned? It specifically refers to those who received a permanent ban in the game and chat before March 24, 2020. However, not every player will be unbanned. This concerns World of Tanks and not the spin-off World of Tanks Blitz. The amnesty will apply to the following violations:

Account selling (only for cases with a chat ban, cases with a game ban do not count)
Destruction of allied vehicles (team killing)
Player names that violate the game’s rules
Flooding and advertising in the chat
Insulting players and administrators in the chat

Players who have committed the following violations will not benefit from the amnesty:

Various legal violations
Fraud and spam
Botting (creating and controlling bots that imitate human behavior)
Use of prohibited mods

When will the players be unbanned? From August 3, players can expect that their ban in World of Tanks will be lifted. However, it may take some time before everyone is unbanned.

Unbanned players should expect to be under observation. Wargaming states that fair gameplay is of utmost importance, and those who violate the rules again can expect to be banned once more.

Furthermore, this action should not be interpreted as meaning that players will no longer have to fear bans because they might be unbanned eventually. So far, this is a one-time action for the 10th anniversary of World of Tanks.

What do you think about this amnesty action? Do you think it’s a good idea? Should permanently banned players be given a second chance? By the way, do you want to join in for the 10th anniversary of World of Tanks? We reveal in an article, why it is still worth starting in the year 2020.

CoD MW & Warzone: Update for Season 5 is big, but saves storage space

Sven Galitzki 3. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD: Warzone, there is a new update for Season 5, and the download will once again be large. But there is something positive about it. Because in the end, your hard drive will be somewhat relieved by the patch.

What is happening this week in CoD? As a first trailer recently confirmed, the Season 5 starts on Wednesday, August 5, in CoD: Modern Warfare and Warzone. And the new season will traditionally be brought into the game and launched with a new update.

However, updates are a hotly debated topic in CoD: MW. Because often the patches are gigantic, which leads to long download times for some. Moreover, it causes some players, especially on consoles PS4 and Xbox One, to have to delete other games just to download and install the latest CoD update. But what about the upcoming update for Season 5?

By the way, if you have storage space issues on consoles: CoD MW weighs nearly 200 GB: The team advises how to reduce it on PS4, Xbox One

Developers warn about: The developers are also warning here. Just before the start of Season 5, Paul Haile, Production Director of MW, spoke up on Twitter. He announced that Season 5 is coming soon and that the update with all the new content will again be large.

So if you are short on storage space, you can already prepare to (once again) need to make room on your hard drive.

This time there is actually a real novelty: CoD MW, Warzone: The first can load Season 5 already – Preload live on PS4

The large update also has something positive: However, according to Haile, the new update also includes optimizations for the game’s asset packs. This also contributes to the fact that the download will be large. But in the end, it will ensure that the overall size of the game on PS4 and Xbox One will shrink – despite the many new content being added with the new patch.

WoW Classic: Here is the drama you all have been waiting for

Cortyn 3. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In WoW Classic there is currently the “most glorious” drama unfolding that one can imagine. The opening of Ahn’Qiraj is to blame – or is it just the players?

In World of Warcraft Classic, a rather heated phase is currently active. Presently, the event for the opening of the gates of Ahn’Qiraj is taking place on all realms. The first step, gathering war resources, has ended quite quickly on many servers. But players are now struggling with the other steps. This has led to plenty of fine “WoW drama” that players probably haven’t seen in years.

What is the problem? With the opening of the gates of Ahn’Qiraj comes a very special mount, the black Qiraji mount. However, only a limited number of players per realm can receive it. These are the players who complete the quest line for the scepter and thus ring the gong at the gates – they have 10 hours to do so, after which the mount is forever lost. This is associated with a lot of farming work and requires the efforts of the entire guild. There are plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong or for players to troll each other.

What kind of drama is happening in WoW Classic?

The drama is currently coming in several forms, here are some of the current “highlights” from the ongoing issues.

Mass reports to eliminate competition

Things are equally “funny” on the realm Sulfuras, as Jpo- writes on r eddit. There, players of the Alliance have repeatedly tried to interfere in boss fights to prevent the completion of the quest line, which often succeeded.

When the guilds of the Horde then cooperated to kill the boss with 200 characters despite the griefing attempts, the Alliance switched their strategy. They simply reported one of the guild leaders pursuing the quest line through the reporting system. So many reports came in at once that the guild leader was automatically banned from the game – for a whopping 7 days. That is way too long to have any chance at the special mount.

While exploiting the reporting function is punishable, it is questionable whether Blizzard can react in time in such cases.

The trolling is likely to get even worse soon – because during the opening of the gates, there is a player cap in Silithus …

Agreements between Horde and Alliance

Many players on various realms report that the Alliance and Horde apparently cooperate. This also seems to be an “open secret”. For example, some Alliance guilds pay players of the Horde to patrol in Silithus and repeatedly kill other Alliance players.

In Silithus, a large grind needs to be completed, targeting several thousand bugs. To hinder other players in farming, the large guilds are now sending “assassins” from the other faction against their competitors.

False bans for ambitious players

Recently, there have been a whole lot of temporary bans on players who allegedly used bots or hacks. It seems that numerous players, who played honestly, were again affected, and in some cases could confirm this well with screenshots, streams, or conversations with guild members. Most of these were players who still wanted to gather resources for the collection of Ahn’Qiraj.

Apart from these major incidents, there is, of course, still a lot of “small drama”. Some guilds are losing their guild leader because he believes that his guild members are not farming enough for him (via reddit).

In summary, the opening of Ahn’Qiraj is causing a lot of drama once again. And all of this for a black insect mount from a game that is over 15 years old.

What do you think of the behavior of those involved? Did you see something like this coming?

Fortunately, there are also some nice stories in WoW right now, such as the hunter who leveled “completely wrong”.
