Dragon killing is a challenging endeavor in World of Warcraft. Not for this group – they took less than a minute for their Onyxia kill.
In World of Warcraft Classic much is not as difficult as it was during the original “Vanilla” time. This is mainly due to the fact that players today have much more knowledge and approach content more effectively. That is why some records are currently falling in WoW Classic. Now a group of players has managed to defeat the raid boss Onyxia in record time. The whole fun took less than a minute.
What happened? Onyxia is not necessarily one of the hardest fights in World of Warcraft Classic, but usually requires a few minutes. However, a raid group has now set a crazy record. In just 58 seconds they killed the dragon lady Onyxia – a new record. You can see the video of the kill here:

How did they do it? The special thing about this group is that it largely consists of hunters. The group has a whopping 33 hunters and rains a lot of arrows on the dragon lady.
Each of these hunters has fully collected the T2 set, thus also the 8/8 bonus. This ensures that occasionally a weakness is created on the opponent, increasing the ranged attack power of all attackers. This effect is stackable, which is why the 33 hunters had multiple stacks of this debuff on Onyxia almost permanently, leading to extremely high damage numbers. Since all hunters can feign death, threat was also not a problem – it could be reset at any time.
In the group, there was also a rogue and a warlock, whose armor-reducing debuffs further increased the damage of the hunters.
A warrior and druid as tank and three shamans as healers rounded out the group and ensured this new record time.
Other records are close behind: However, other record hunters are hot on their heels. The second fastest recorded kill is currently at one minute, so only about 2 seconds slower. These record times are likely to improve again when players first have access to new weapons from Ahn’Qiraj – because the next raid will probably open in a few days.
What do you think of this record? A cool achievement with a clever idea? Or nothing really impressive?

The release of New World has been postponed.Both the beta and the MMO itself will only be released in spring 2021.MeinMMO editor Leya Jankowski is sad about it. However, she also believes that this decision is the right one for the players and the MMO.
Oh, New World, what are you doing to me?
The new MMO from Amazon Game Studios and I have a tumultuous relationship. Here’s a quick outline:
Originally, the MMO was supposed to be a survival sandbox game with mandatory PvP.
I began to develop a certain cautious excitement for New World, as it evolved into a game that appealed to me more and more. Especially the new PvE content, which focuses on exploration, sounds cool and made for me.
So, New World catapulted itself from complete indifference to the point where I could hardly wait for the release in August 2018!
The news that made me sad
I had already laid out a plan for when I must have completed Ni No Kuni (via GamePro.de) to be ready for the beta starting in two weeks. A single-player RPG that I planned to play in the meantime. After that, full focus on New World.
Once again, Amazon Game Studios played with my feelings. This time, however, I was sad, and my doubts about the game became apparent.
New World has not been postponed for the first time. Originally, the release date of New World was in May 2020 – but Amazon postponed it on April 9, citing the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as the reason. Now New World is delayed by more than half a year. This time, the reason is said to be missing content for the mid and end game.

The freshly showcased PvE gameplay of New World made me very eager for more.
The postponement is actually no surprise
The news about the postponed release was initially a small shock for me. It would have been good for MeinMMO to manage a new MMO from the West again with a publisher like Amazon backing it.
Why the postponement was to be expected: Let’s look at another game from Amazon: Crucible. The free-to-play hero shooter had a pretty bad launch. The game is technically still unpolished, the gameplay still has a lot of room for improvement, and it could generate only limited interest among players. All this led to the un-release of Crucible. The hero shooter started in a delayed beta after release on July 1.
I strongly suspect that the catastrophic start of Crucible is partly responsible for New World pulling the emergency brake and radically halting the release in August.
New World has already undergone closed alpha phases. Although there is an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) in place, some alleged players occasionally spill the beans. It is often claimed that the game is not yet ready. Too much content is still missing, and also technically the MMO is not yet in a release-ready state. However, there is no evidence for this due to the mentioned NDA.
In an interview with MeinMMO, however, Amazon stated that alpha players indeed want more PvE content – more quests above all.
The free hero shooter Crucible was still immature at release and was retrospectively sent back into beta. Amazon surely does not want this for New World.
The postponement of the release is the right decision
I told you at the beginning of the article about my tumultuous relationship with New World, not just to show you my feelings towards the game. As you can see, Amazon has completely changed its vision with New World.
As much as I am excited that New World now focuses on PvE content and rewards exploring the world, I am also acutely aware that such a radical change carries a risk. At the beginning of the MMO, there wouldn’t even have been quests. Everything was supposed to revolve solely around large-scale battles, building your own economy, and conquering territories.
The mystical lore, the NPCs, the factions, the housing, the deep RPG systems, the arena bosses – all of this came later. All of this came after the game changed its direction towards the end of 2019. This aligns with the developers’ statement that the release of New World is being postponed again due to missing content in the mid and end game.
The developers probably know why they are taking more time until spring 2021 to get New World ready for release. The launch is immensely important for an MMO to survive. Server issues and technical hiccups are usually forgiven. However, if fundamental things are off and players burn through content too quickly, then a service game can hardly recover or not at all.
The problem was also observed with the MMO shooter Anthem from BioWare – the fundamentals were correct and fun, but it was simply an unfinished game at release. We know that did not end well for Anthem.
I believe we can all agree that the postponement, under all these circumstances, can only be a good thing.

In Call of Duty: Warzone, you can compete in 4 different team sizes. However, if you are playing alone and Battle Royale solo is not for you, you can team up with strangers. Here are some tips on how to still be successful.
What’s this about? At the start of Call of Duty: Warzone, players could only enter the Battle Royale as a trio. Now you can fight in 4 different team sizes, ranging from solo to 4-player teams.
However, many players do not necessarily go into the solo playlist as a solo player. The game is often much more “campy” here, and you rarely get the chance to not land directly in the Gulag or the score evaluation after a knockout. If you do occasionally drop in, here’s a strong solo setup.
For all solo team players, Warzone offers a “Fill” option. This way, you can also move through Verdansk as a single player in teams and might even find new and nice teammates. To make a good impression as a “mercenary” and not end up as a team drag, MeinMMO provides some tips on how to successfully start as a solo fighter with random teams.
Tips for Lone Fighters – Never Be “the Dumb Random” Again
As a random player (Randy, stranger, the other guy), it’s often tough in Warzone. The prejudices and expectations are high, and seldom can you meet the high standards of the random team. But with some behaviors, you can significantly increase your acceptance. Here are our tips:
Communication is key
Follow the tactics
Play defensively and cooperatively
Bring support equipment
Treat the strangers like friends
1. Communication is key
Consider beforehand whether you want to play with an open mic, muted, or without chat at all. It would be optimal if you communicate with strangers via voice chat. But for some players, that’s not an option since it can get annoying depending on the teammates.
However, even without speech, Warzone provides excellent communication tools. The “Pings” are great for sharing all relevant information:
Where’s the exit?
There are enemies
Here lies equipment
I’m going this way / This way
Help!!!
In voice chat, there might be a little trash talk and small talk during the quiet mid-game, but the pings cover the most important points. So, if you are with a random team, always use the pings to communicate.
Be stingy with your calls and don’t spam the same pings constantly, or your team may quickly turn away from you.
Help spot enemies and let them know what you plan to do. But don’t spam pings.
2. Follow the tactics
If you enter a team as a lone fighter, don’t expect the rest to follow your calls. Instead, adapt to the approach the team is taking and support as best as you can.
This starts with the jump. Even if the team chooses a landing spot you don’t like at all: jump with the team and fight your way through. And who knows, maybe you’ll find besides new teammates some really good landing spots.
3. Play defensively and cooperatively
When moving through Verdansk and during fights, the same applies: you are the one who needs to fit in. Stay a step back and wait for a revival instead of going for a kill. Offer the team safety by playing defensively.
Don’t go into combat first, but observe the approach of your teammates to help out when needed. If you notice a good flanking position, try to take it and support the firefight. If your team pushes, keep up and stay close to your comrades.
Once you’ve revived your first teammate, you’ve already become an important part of the team, and the others will pay more attention to you.
Get your unknown friends back on their feet and try to go down as little as possible yourself.
4. Bring support equipment
Build your own loadout for fights as a mercenary with equipment that is helpful but not often used.
Rocket launchers, for example, are very strong in Warzone, as you can get easy kills on nearby vehicles and easily destroy Warzone vehicles otherwise. However, they are seldom chosen as they displace a primary weapon. If you have a “PILA” and take down the annoying helicopter that was just about to turn your unknown friends into mush, you’ll definitely rise in the esteem of their teammates.
The same goes for perks. With “Amped” (Yellow Perk), you revive your fallen teammates faster. Smoke grenades help you safely revive friends.
Be sure to choose the perk “Ghost”. While many teams play with “Overkill” as the red perk, if you land in a team that relies on “Ghost”, you will be prepared. If you take a rocket launcher, you don’t need “Overkill” anyway.
For grenades, the proximity mines are strong. Whether it’s a Claymore or a proximity mine, both help when you want to hold a position and secure entrances.
As a primary weapon, you need something that covers as many operational areas as possible. The strong FAL performs extremely well at close and medium ranges and can also hit accurately beyond that. If you don’t like single shots, grab the Grau 5.56 or one of its alternatives. An assault rifle is the best choice here.
Support equipment for helpful players
Versatile assault rifle
Rocket launcher
Blue perk: Free choice
Red perk: Ghost
Yellow perk: Amped
Claymore or proximity mine
Smoke grenade
A strong support loadout makes you much more popular.
5. Treat the strangers like friends
Except for the sometimes rude language among friends, you should treat a random team like people you usually play with. Take a risk to revive someone or scrape together $4,500 to bring back one of the strangers into the game. If you show goodwill, you’ll often get it in return.
Even if things aren’t going so well for you, but the team still has chances, don’t immediately leave the match and diminish the chances further. There might always be an insane match event starting that brings all players back or the team is signing a “Most Wanted” contract, which also brings back fallen players. If you play with your friends, you usually wouldn’t leave the match either.
As a supporter of the team, you can be a great help, and the other players will appreciate that, even if you’re not in voice chat together. If this role is new for you, you’ll gain a whole new perspective on the fights and can improve overall.
A victory with a random team is difficult but not impossible. If you adapt to the gameplay, there’s a good chance you will also have team success in Warzone without friends.

Ubisoft has presented a new trailer for Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad. The game is being released for mobile and reminds a bit of Rainbow Six Siege. We show you how to register in advance and secure bonuses.
You can do that now: On the Elite Squad website, you can now follow a link for pre-registration. You will then land in the Play Store and can register there in advance. The same applies to the App Store from Apple.
If you have done that, you can secure an exclusive content. This includes the M1911, a semi-automatic pistol. It is a level-2 weapon from the character Montagne and can then be played upon download.
What is known about the game so far? In many ways, the shooter resembles Rainbow Six. You can also play characters that you know from there. However, characters from Ghost Recon, The Division, and Splinter Cell are also expected to be playable. The latter has even been shown as a new operator for Siege by a data miner.
You will then compete in a 5v5. A mode that is also familiar from Rainbow Six. However, there are also single matches against each other. Additionally, there is a campaign mode that you can play through.
Another parallel to Rainbow Six is the abilities of the characters. As mentioned, Montagne can be seen, but also Caveira and Tachanka.
Many details are not yet visible, but it seems that different players also have different strengths. For example, there are experts in sniping, explosives, and even in disabling EMP.
When is Elite Squads supposed to be released? The shooter is supposed to be available on August 27 for iOS and Android. So we can expect more information soon.
Six YouTubers from the popular online shooter Fortnite have joined the organization “One Percent” and purchased a lavish villa, which they showcase in a YouTube video. While younger viewers find this cool, some older viewers are less impressed and criticize the mentality behind such a video.
This is the group:
Formula is the largest YouTuber in the group with 4.4 million subscribers
Kiwiz has 3.28 million subscribers
The YouTuber Nicks has 3.22 million subscribers
Randumb has 3.01 million subscribers
Razz has 309,000 subscribers
Aeolus is the smallest with 11,100 subs
The 4 major YouTubers with millions originally came from “Luminosity Gaming,” separated from them, and formed the group “One Percent” with the two smaller YouTubers.
Just the name indicates the direction: “One Percent” refers to the “super-rich” in the USA, the one percent of the population with the greatest wealth.
This is their house: In a video on YouTube, which now has over 4 million views, the young YouTubers show off their villa. This is a “multi-million-dollar” estate that the YouTubers have purchased with the money they’ve earned over the years through their fans’ support, as they proudly recount. So they didn’t need a sponsor for it or have to enter any financing plans.
During the video, they repeatedly showcase merchandise with the “One Percent” logo. Fans might buy that.
My House, My Piano, My Fortnite Funkopop Collection
These are individual scenes from the video:
Right at the driveway to the villa, some luxury cars are parked
YouTuber Formula shows a glass display with 160 wine bottles and comments: “None of us drink wine,” sponsors are invited to send things to present there
“None of us drink wine.”
In the living room, there is a piano by Kawai, on which supposedly Frank Sinatra played, later one of the YouTubers will wildly tinkle on it
In Formula’s bedroom, the girlfriend is seemingly on the bed, pausing for a few seconds to stare at her phone before positioning herself beside him before turning back to her smartphone
In the YouTuber’s private room, there is an impressive gaming setup and next to it the “snack cabinet” with a bag of M&Ms and other treats in their own jars, next to it proudly displays the Funkopop Fortnite collection
Gaming setup, snack bar, and Funkopop collection.
In the hallway, the boys’ trophies hang, the plaques from YouTube for 1 million subscribers, coming from different “eras of YouTube”
One shows off his complete sneaker collection and briefly points out the great merchandise beforehand
Much Enthusiasm for Video – Shows That “You’ve Made It”
This is being discussed: The video has predominantly positive ratings. There are over 304,000 thumbs up, with only 10,000 dislikes. However, the comments are somewhat mixed.
The villa obviously has a pool too.
Many apparently young fans seem to be thrilled by the lifestyle of the YouTubers. They say: Their dream is to live like that. One could live together with friends and just have constant fun. The house is in the right hands.
However, there are also some critical comments. It’s noted that the YouTubers are constantly trying to sell their “merch” to the fans. One says, somewhat maliciously, that the house was bought with the money of kids who were served clickbait. A third asks whether it really has to be shown, especially in the Corona crisis, when so many people are losing their jobs and homes.
Frank Sinatra played on this piano in the past.
The video is viewed even more critically in the comment sections of the website Kotaku. There, the entire lifestyle, which is based solely on wealth and consumption, is criticized. The height of it is to still call it “One Percent.” It is believed that the YouTubers will face the same fate as some stars who bought such luxury items at the height of their careers and were later surprised by the ongoing costs.
Furthermore, it is suggested that the group could fall apart; enormous problems could then arise.

This is what it’s about: Fortnite YouTubers are somewhat like rappers. It is considered chic to outwardly display that you’ve “made it” and can afford the lifestyle that viewers wish for themselves. The most prominent streamers exemplify this:
Displaying one’s success in this way is a peculiarity that is critically viewed by older individuals established in life. Particularly in Germany, we consider it improper when someone flaunts their wealth like that.
How exactly this lifestyle should look when you’ve “made it,” seems unclear to the YouTubers themselves. These are status symbols of the previous owner still presented, like a “piano that Sinatra played on,” a “wine display,” or “a valuable pinball machine in the style of Kobe Bryant.”
The YouTubers themselves likely have no connection to these things; they certainly consider the snack bar or the particularly large flatscreen TV much more important.
He is considered the gamer with the most money.
For the villa, it seems the 6 YouTubers combined their resources. However, with 4 million subscribers, the largest among them is not even close to the level of the biggest stars. They operate in entirely different dimensions:
In Call of Duty: Warzone, there is currently a bug that can eliminate your entire team. The culprit is the event helicopters that are currently present.
This is the bug: The bug revolves around one of the 3 in-match events, which have been in the game for a few weeks now. A transport helicopter appears over Verdansk, which can be shot down and looted.
However, this helicopter does not simply spawn in mid-air. Players are dying because the helicopter suddenly appears out of the ground right in front of them.
Crazy bug can wipe out entire team
This is the bug in the video: The reddit user LostLobsters showcases the insane multi-kill in a clip:

The video shown is from July 12th. The bug still seems to be a problem in Warzone.
What do players say about it? They are quite upset. After all, Infinity Ward announced a bug fix, yet the problem still persists. This can be especially bitter when you’ve just invested in a strong setup for Warzone and suddenly get taken out by a bug.
tayzak15 writes on reddit: “I thought this was fixed in the last patch? What idiot thought this was good game design?”
WastedGiraffe_ is even more sarcastic: “This looks just as ‘fixed’ as the Burst M4 was removed from the loot pool. Incompetent Infinity Ward.”
The tactical shooter Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is getting a new feature. Fans have wished for this even before the game was released. The feature comes late, but the fact that it’s coming is really good for Breakpoint.
What is this feature? It involves AI teammates that you can fill your team with when playing solo. Ubisoft announced the AI feature during the Forward event, where the game company also showcased new games like Watch Dogs: Legion.
In total, you can have three bots in your squad with the next update, which will follow your commands and assist you. The three have fixed names, their “Callsigns”: Fury, Fixit, and Vasily.
The AI comrades even come with their own backstories.
The feature is available whenever you are playing solo in regular, Immersive, or Custom mode and can be activated or deactivated as you wish. You have the option to play either as a squad of four or as a lone wolf.
When will AI teammates arrive? With the next Title Update 2.1 on Wednesday, July 15, you can deploy AI teammates in Breakpoint.
AI Comrades: Finally play together – even alone
How does the feature work? You can visually customize the three bots as you wish. Options are available such as gender, hairstyle, tattoos, and more. Their appearance does not affect their performance.
The AI players follow all your commands and can be equipped with any primary weapons. Only their secondary weapon is always a designated assault rifle, as they need this for the Sync-Shot feature. By default, they carry the following:
Fury: Primary: Vector, Secondary: 553
Fixit: Primary: M4, Secondary: 805 Bren
Vasily: Primary: Scorpio, Secondary: 416
Your teammates can even revive you once. This ability recharges when you rest in camp.
You can give them commands like to go to a specific point or to follow you. The most recent command generally applies, so you can inadvertently cancel previously given commands. The bots also follow your approach and never break your stealth, for example. If an enemy has not detected you yet, the bots will not cause that to happen either.
How good they are and how they behave, however, can depend on which weapons you give them. The weapon type of the primary weapon determines for example:
the distance at which they can engage (e.g., larger distance equipped with a sniper rifle)
the damage dealt
the rate of fire
shooting patterns, such as single shot, burst, or full auto
the reload pattern
In a video, Ubisoft shows how the new AI comrades work:

Why is this important? The absence of AI teammates is one of the biggest criticisms that Breakpoint faced at its release. The game struggled with a weak launch and received poor player scores.
Breakpoint has thus turned out to be a relatively strong flop that could not convince at its release and needed a lot of reworking. Ubisoft is now delivering this continuously, including with the new AI feature that brings further advantages from the predecessor.
Sync-Shots: Up to seven kills at once
If you play with AI teammates in a squad, you will have the ability to synchronize your shots with them again. This is something that was appreciated in Wildlands and was quite important.
Since you, as a Ghost, often have to fight alone or with a small group against many enemies, it is important that they do not notice you. The “Sync-Shots” help with this, allowing you to mark targets that will be simultaneously taken out at your signal.
In Breakpoint, this was not possible before, but it will be again. You can mark up to seven targets: four that you and your bots will kill and three more that your drone will take out. This way, you can clear heavily guarded areas without being noticed.

Those who want to see this live can play Breakpoint for free from July 16 to July 19, as Ubisoft offers you the chance to test the game during this period. Additionally, on July 16, the new live event “Resistance” begins, where you will attack enemy troops together with the rebels.
In GTA 5 Online, jet pilots turned a public lobby into an air show, and there is much praise for it. Players are happy to see that there are not only toxic players to be found in the online world.
How did the air show come about? In public lobbies of GTA Online, spontaneous gatherings among players happen from time to time. Often you see “tuner meets,” where players gather in large areas like Los Santos Airport and show off their modified fastest supercars.
The reddit user imhereforthetea33 shared a video of a spontaneous air show with players on reddit. He writes:
“Sometimes my friend and I fly in lobbies and activate smoke trails. Sometimes a few people join, this time it was half the lobby! I love it when friendly players come together like this, and that’s why I wanted to share it.” About 10 to 12 players participated in this action.
In the clip, you see the planes in the sky of Los Santos trailing blue, red, and white smoke, putting on an air show:

What do the players say? In the comments, users are excited about the action. One writes: I said this before and I will never stop saying it: Not everyone in this game is toxic.
Another writes that he would love to be invited if players would recreate this. “That’s really cool,” writes ladiesloveapickupman on reddit.
“I want more of this wholesome content,” writes FestesTestes.
In this situation, the uploader also shows that he was pleased that so many friendly players came together.
This joy comes mainly from the fact that toxic players in GTA Online quickly stand out and can be frustrating for the “non-toxic” players. They destroy the cargo of opposing CEOs, costing them millions in profits, camp other players until they leave the lobby, or even use god-mode glitches to cause even more stress.
Here you see this more frequently: With its many aircraft and the large community of GTA Online, crazy stunts happen in the sky. The YouTube channel of The Red Sparrows showcases in impressive videos how such a show can look in the air when planned well.

Hyper Scape, the new battle royale shooter from Ubisoft, has launched in open beta. But what advantages does the game have over competitors like Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone? Pro gamer and top streamer SypherPK explains.
What is Hyper Scape and what makes it special? Hyper Scape from Ubisoft aims to make its mark in the battle royale genre and recently launched into beta. 33 teams of three players compete in a constantly disintegrating virtual metropolis. In addition to weapons, there are so-called hacks. These are skills like building walls, planting bombs, or becoming invisible.
As major features, Hyper Scape offers full-fledged Twitch integration. You can directly engage with your viewers on Twitch, and the viewers can regularly trigger special events in the game. Suddenly, gravity might be reduced, or there could be infinite ammo for a short time.
What stands out the most is the extremely fast pace of Hyper Scape. The game is fast-paced and swift. You climb walls like a monkey, jump around with jump pads, and can even transform into a giant bouncing ball with a hack. Hyper Scape is truly not for fans of ‘cozy’ battle royale games like PUBG.
The game world of Hyper Scape is futuristic and full of action.
This is how Hyper Scape compares to Fortnite and Warzone
What are the comparison points? Popular streamer and pro gamer SypherPK (nearly 3.5 million followers on Twitch) discussed Hyper Scape in a podcast with other top players Nadeshot and CouRageJD. Since the other two participants had not yet played Hyper Scape, SypherPK introduced it to them and compared it with other battle royale games.

The talk show featuring SypherPK, Nadeshot, and CouRageJD.
He focused on one aspect: How much action does the game provide during a match? But before we get to the resolution, let’s take a quick look at the other competitors in the survey, Fortnite and CoD: Warzone.
This is how Warzone plays
What is special about Warzone?Call of Duty: Warzone brings the refined gunplay of CoD into a large, free-to-play battle royale. Dropped over the abandoned area of the fictional city “Verdansk”, players flee from the radioactive gas and fight in 150-player battles for victory.
Grim soldiers continuously shoot for victory in Warzone.
Warzone offers a relatively fast pace, as there are good chances that a fallen team member will rejoin the game – either by winning in the gulag or by buying back. In Warzone, you can start with 1 to 4 players, and there are always rotating modes that refresh gameplay or introduce new mechanics that change the whole gaming experience a little bit.
This is what SypherPK says about it: Until now, Sypher considered Warzone to be the fastest game that offered “nonstop action from start to finish.” Because opponents keep coming back and there’s always something in your sights, the game has been his favorite regarding action content. You jump into the fray with a pistol in hand and can start shooting right away.
This is how Fortnite plays
What is special about Fortnite?Fortnite is a free-to-play battle royale game from Epic Games. Fortnite primarily focuses on building structures with resources from the game world. With various movement items, the game often gets quite fast. However, you cannot climb or vault over obstacles.
Fortnite is colorful and quirky, but often quite monotonous in the mid-game.
This is what SypherPK says about it: For Sypher, Fortnite is the underdog in this comparison. He believes it offers the least action, and it’s possible to encounter only 10 players in a match. Therefore, he calls it “Resident Sleeper”. There is just too much downtime where nothing happens.
Conclusion: What makes Hyper Scape better than Warzone and Fortnite
This is how SypherPK rates Hyper Scape: For Sypher, Hyper Scape is the new Warzone. Because until now, the BR offshoot of Modern Warfare has been the game with nonstop action. However, in his opinion, Hyper Scape offers “real” action from start to finish.
This is mainly due to the insane pace that Hyper Scape showcases. There is always something happening, making the game even more action-packed than Warzone, which according to Sypher is “really hard to pull off”.
Sypher also states that Hyper Scape successfully transfers the pace and fun of a wild arena shooter into the battle royale genre. For Nadeshot, who has not played it yet, the pace of Hyper Scape is even down right “terrifying”.
This also speaks in favor of Hyper Scape: Reasons for this assessment are – even if Sypher does not mention it directly – the many skills that provide even more speed. Additionally, one can gladly climb onto roofs and balconies and dash around at breakneck speed. There is also a very liberal respawn option that allows dead players to roam around as ghosts and still support their team with reconnaissance.

When the team makes their own kills, they can revive the dead player at the location of the kill. This ensures that the player pool remains relatively constant in the mid- and late-game, providing enough cannon fodder.
Therefore, Hyper Scape is truly a game that speaks primarily to action fans and adrenaline junkies. What else speaks for Hyper Scape and why you should try it out, you can find in our article on reactions to the beta of Ubisoft’s new battle royale shooter.

The introduction to World of Warcraft should be easier than ever before. Blizzard promises this with Shadowlands – but does it really work?
World of Warcraft Shadowlands will be the 8th expansion of the MMORPG, but it is not only aimed at completely experienced players. It is also supposed to become more accessible for newcomers due to several factors:
However, Game Director Ion Hazzikostas also stated in an interview with IGN that there has never been a better time to start with WoW than the launch of the Shadowlands.
What was the problem? Hazzikostas explained what the current issues of World of Warcraft are, especially regarding newcomers:
This game has been around for 15 years, and that is impressive. I have played it all these 15 years. At the same time, however, this rich offering of content, the depth, and the entire story have become a hindrance. It is intimidating for new players. And part of what we have found over the years is that while we have countless hours of stories to tell, we didn’t want it to take hundreds of hours to catch up to your friends to experience the latest content.
Ion Hazzikostas, the Game Director of World of Warcraft.
This is not a new thought. In the past, this led to the developers speeding up World of Warcraft and accelerating the leveling phase.
This led us to accelerate the game. That brought us to a state where [things happened too quickly]. It was particularly overwhelming for new players who wanted to play the game at that time.
Shadowlands aims to be better: With the Shadowlands, it is now supposed to be the best time to start in World of Warcraft. Even a better time than back in Classic. Because Hazzikostas further explained:
Shadowlands is probably the best time to start as a brand new player with World of Warcraft since 2004. That is something we have focused on for this expansion.
Standard adventure should be the starting point: Newcomers will receive a completely new starting area that corresponds to the current state of WoW technology. On the island “Exile’s Reach”, newcomers will experience their first adventures in a story that is typical for World of Warcraft and focuses on the core of the conflicts between the two factions: the war. After that, it continues to Battle for Azeroth:
Battle for Azeroth is an accessible standard story of Horde against Alliance, which tells the players about this world. This will take a few dozen hours for new players, then you are ready to go into the Shadowlands together with everyone else, equipped with all the knowledge – regarding gameplay and story – to succeed in this environment.
Is this all true? For WoW veterans, these statements might imply a slight eye roll. For many years, the developers have claimed to improve the entry for newcomers with each expansion. Therefore, many doubt whether this time it will really succeed.
One fact is definitely that the first impression of the “experience for new players” seems quite good. The new starting island “Exile’s Reach” teaches the most important mechanics sensibly, and the new leveling system up to level 60 drastically shortens the entire leveling process, even though heirlooms lose their XP bonus.
On the island Exile’s Reach, newcomers experience their first adventures.
However, whether the island is really that great for newcomers will only become clear with the launch of Shadowlands. Because then new players will likely flood into Blizzard’s MMORPG. After all, the current testers in the beta – as is often the case – are largely veterans of World of Warcraft.
Do you know people who want to start completely new in WoW with Shadowlands? Perhaps you’re even one of them?
Destiny 2 allows players to turn their enemies into weapons and beat up other enemies with them. This madness is made possible by the new Exotic Fallen Avatar and is very popular in the community.
This is the weapon: Destiny 2 welcomes a new Exotic in Season 11 that is currently being praised. The new Exo toy is called Fallen Avatar, crafted from a magical tree, shoots laser beams, and even turns enemies into weapons that you can use to beat up other bad guys.
By killing enemies with the laser, they disintegrate and turn into spheres. These small, purple orbs can then be picked up by players and carried like a basketball under their arm.
First shoot lasers, then use the ball to laser opponents away
Exotic Fallen Avatar breaks Destiny 2 and is celebrated for it
What makes the weapon special: While a laser beam is nothing special in Destiny, the small purple ball definitely is. Because with the sphere, you can not only bounce off the opponent.
By default, the ball comes with these features:
Life steal and weakening of enemies
A unique ammo system
Area damage
Shield
Insurance against annoying boss stomp mechanics
Even friends can pick up the ball and have fun without owning the weapon
How the weapon is received in the community: Fallen Avatar is celebrated primarily for its creativity. This shows that players want not only overly strong but rather unique Exotics.
This is how MeinMMO readers express it:
Criz Zle: “First impression of the weapon: Strong thing! Feels unique, just like the season grenade launcher. Bungie is finally making EXOTIC weapons again and not just some boring stuff.”
Der_Frek: “This is also an exciting Exo again. Bungie has really been creative with this lately, you can’t deny that.”
RaZZor89: “I think the weapon is great. The damage is considerable and the mechanics are superb. That’s what I call an Exo.”
It is striking in your comments that this Exotic really plays exotically. In other words, it is a weapon that breaks known patterns and dares to try something new.
However, some Guardians also express criticism amidst all the love, as Fallen Avatar sometimes trivializes the game. Representing this is the following comment:
As great as it is… something needs to change. I only need one red bar and PvE activities become a joke. The slam dunk does more damage with the weakening than a heavy sword attack. And I can just run through ads and they fall over like flies. Gambit/Gambit Prime, strikes […] and individual raid encounters have become a joke.
While it is not new in Destiny to carry objects around, many raids often involve carrying such relics. But the many tactical possibilities that come with the ball have truly surprised players.
A similar phenomenon was observed in Destiny 1 with knight swords: initially, the blade weapons were only rare mission objects that you could swing for a short time. This break with the typically sci-fi weapons was appealing to many. Interestingly, swords also rely on the third-person view and are among the most popular weapons today.
The Fortnite top players Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf and Brett “Dakotaz” Hoffman have a problem with a new feature introduced in Season 3. They think Epic’s idea is just stupid.
What feature is being criticized? In Season 3, new NPCs were introduced: the Marauders. They spawn in groups of 5 during the match and attack real players when they spot them.
Unlike the henchmen from Season 2, who one could obtain hidden weapons from, the Marauders do not always spawn in the same location. They are thrown onto the map in “meteor capsule” and even multiple groups can spawn in one round.
However, they are easily recognizable, as a question mark hovers above their heads. But as soon as they spot a player, the question mark turns into a red arrow.
The Marauders are easily recognizable
Pros don’t understand the reasoning behind it
What do the two pros say about the Marauders? The two top players Dakotaz and Bugha have already had unpleasant encounters with the new opponents, which led them to criticize this idea.
“Honestly, it’s just stupid.” Why is my whole game ruined just because Marauders spawn on me? I waited 30 minutes for a round, just to be killed by Marauders.”
Bugha
In the fight, he mentions that it would be so annoying and stupid for Marauders to spawn right at the start of a round.

In this YouTube video, you can see the encounters of Bugha and Dakotaz with the Marauders in Fortnite and what they think about them
Twitch streamer Dakotaz even prefers to give up rather than be killed by Marauders. He showed this in a stream when he was sniped by an NPC in the air and then chased into a house where he wanted to heal.
When he was then pushed by several Marauders, he shortly thereafter ended the match before they could kill him, because he “definitely would not let himself be killed by NPCs.”
“It’s so bad. Why do they (Epic) think the (Marauders) is a good idea? I’m not even mad, just amazed why they think this is a good idea. I’ll tell you, a few of the Epic employees are just brainless.
Dakotaz
What is the problem with Marauders? Since the NPCs appear in groups of 5, it can be difficult for a single player to fight them all. Moreover, they often hit very well, even from a distance, as can be seen in Dakotaz’s example.
If you are already fighting with real players and then being chased by Marauders, it can be quite difficult and frustrating.
Do the Marauders also have advantages? Those who choose to fight against the NPCs and even defeat them will be rewarded with a progress of the stamping cards from Season 3. These bring you experience points to level up your battle pass.
Another advantage of the Marauders is the weapons they drop when eliminated. You can snag some higher rarity weapons. However, whether it’s really worth engaging in a fight is something every player must decide for themselves.
Ninja already had a problem with the NPCs from Season 2
The Fortnite star Ninja already had a problem with the henchmen NPCs from Season 2. He thought they were intentionally targeting him and became almost paranoid. Because according to the pro, the henchmen hit him particularly well while missing other players.

A knife skin with hate messages against members of the LGBT community sparked much criticism during an Asian tournament of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The caster Jason Kaplan then asked on Twitter, “How awful can one be?”
This is what happened: During the Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020, the Chinese team Invictus Gaming played against the selection of D13 from Mongolia. The issue was a weapon skin that bears the inscription “LGBT-Slayer”. It was used by Chinese gamer Destroyer.
LGBT stands for “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender.”
As a result, there was much criticism against the professional player. The tournament caster, Jason Kaplan, expressed sharp criticism of the gamer, triggering a shitstorm.
Player claims: Skin was just borrowed
This is how the community reacts: On Twitter, Jason Kaplan initially wrote a pretty harsh Tweet about the professional Destroyer. He said, “I’ve seen some disgusting names for skins from people in CS:GO, but Destroyer’s tops it all. How awful can a person be to name his knife “LGBT Slayer”?”

Shortly afterwards, the caster explained the situation from the player’s perspective:
The knife was just borrowed
Destroyer will not use it anymore
Additionally, Kaplan suggests that the Chinese player did not even know what “LGBT Slayer” means and still used the knife
In response to the tweets, there are mixed reactions. Many players see no big problem here. They say it is just pixels in a video game, and that there are greater issues in the world.
Other readers support Kaplan’s opinion. They say sarcastically: “He doesn’t own it, but borrowed it from a homophobic friend and proudly used it in the game. Ah, that makes it so much better.”
Some others think that the professional probably did not know what he had written on his knife. Conversely, not everyone thinks about what the Chinese characters on their items mean.

Are there consequences? So far, no consequences for the incident are known. The professional and his team Invictus Gaming have not officially commented. The tournament organizers also did not issue any penalties.
By the way, this is not the first controversy at a CS:GO tournament. In May, it became known that a man participated in a women’s tournament. He had simply disguised himself as a woman.
The player Puppeh was allegedly sexually manipulated by a woman in 2016.
Recently, more and more scandals at tournaments have come to light. For example, a 14-year-old player from Super Smash Bros. was allegedly sexually used by a 24-year-old:
Valorant has stirred the emotions of the community with expensive dragon skins for 95 euros, similar to how fire-breathing dragons do to their opponents. However, the hefty sum for acquiring the Elder Flame Bundle is not the end of it. With the in-game upgrades, the total rises to nearly three times!
What do the dragons and their upgrades cost? When Riot Games introduced the new skins from the “Elder Flame” edition, many players were excited. Because the skins transform your weapons Judge, Operator, Vandal, and Frenzy into living dragons.
But fans were taken aback by the price immediately. Because the whole package costs around 95 euros! That was too much for some players, including many readers here at MeinMMO. But it gets worse.
Now that the skins are finally in the shop, first customers have looked at the upgrades. So if you want all animations and extras, you have to buy so-called Radianite Points. And they cost real money too! For all upgrades, another 187.96 euros are due. With the purchase price of the bundle, that totals up to 282.96 euros!

This is how cool the dragons look from the beginning.
Why the Total Package is So Expensive
What do the upgrades do? Those who buy the expensive dragon skins only get static weapons that look like dragons at first. They don’t do anything, don’t glow, make no special sounds, and have no finishing move.
To get all of this, you need to buy upgrades per weapon with Radianite Points. The upgrades and their costs per weapon are:
Upgrade
Cost
Variant 3
15 points
Variant 2
15 points
Variant 1
15 points
Finishing Move
10 points
Animations
10 points
Sound and Visual Effects
10 points
So, you need 75 Radianite points per weapon to unlock all upgrades and turn the skin into the fully animated, wriggling, and hissing dragons that you saw in the videos. With four weapons in the set, that means a total of 300 points are needed. Additionally, you need another 10 points for the knife upgrade. So you need a total of 310 Radianite points. A user on reddit has calculated all of this.
Why is it so expensive? Radianite Points are the in-game currency that you can also earn in the game via the Battle Pass. However, if you buy them, you first have to exchange them for the real currency “Valorant Points.”
Without upgrades, nothing moves here.
For the needed 310 Radianite points, you need 19,200 Valorant Points. Those cost you around 187.96 euros. However, if you are diligent and have not spent the points elsewhere, you can at least earn 150 Radianite Points from the Battle Pass. Nevertheless, in the end, it’s a lot of money. Therefore, a reddit user also sarcastically remarked, “Riot recognized the problem with microtransactions and instead introduced macrotransactions!”
Conclusion: So, if you don’t just want rather boring, static shooting dragons, you have to spend a lot of money. Even this is too much for me, MeinMMO author and skin freak Jürgen Horn. I am willing to invest 95 euros for a few really nice skins. But through these absurd costs for an upgrade, it’s even too much for me. For that price, I could almost get a half dozen AAA games. I think that for the price of 95 euros, at least the upgrades should be included.

For a short period, players in Call of Duty: Warzone could find a killstreak that wasn’t supposed to be in the game at all. It turned out to be quite powerful, even though it has some weaknesses. Now it has been removed in its current form.
What kind of killstreak is it? It is about the Counter UAVs, which were found in the game at the beginning of July. These drones disrupt some of the technical gadgets and especially limit reconnaissance, causing enemy drones and mini-maps to not function properly.
Using a drone in a specific area causes players to lose sight of their map and, consequently, they can no longer see where the gas circle is and in which direction it is closing.
A well-placed drone can easily take players out of action towards the end of a match. Although its disadvantage is that it can also be easily destroyed, this becomes particularly difficult when the circle is smaller without being detected.
Players have discovered the drones as loot in crates and have already shown videos on how best to use them:

Since the hotfix on July 9, the Counter UAVs have disappeared from floor loot and crates. You can no longer simply find them as instantly usable killstreaks in Warzone.
Will the powerful Counter UAVs return?
According to the gaming website VG24/7, it is still possible to call in a Counter UAV in Warzone when four UAVs are in the air at the same time. However, it seems finding them as loot from crates was unintended – so for now, they are no longer available as killstreaks.
However, the drones are apparently set to return, even regularly. According to a leak on reddit, the killstreak will be available for purchase at the supply stations. They might soon become one of the strongest items you should buy in every round. They are expected to cost $4,500:

We do not yet know exactly when you can expect the return of the drones as killstreaks. The upcoming playlist update, which is expected to be released on July 14, might bring back the Counter UAVs. However, you might also have to wait until the next Season 5, which is expected to start in early August.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a new multiplayer game that developers place in the battle royale genre – even though there are no fights at all. Instead, you have to master an obstacle course.
What is Fall Guys? When it comes to the term Battle Royale, most people probably think of fast multiplayer battles where players fight each other with weapons until only one remains.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout does without weapons. You run as a kind of potato creature over an obstacle course. Your task is to overcome all obstacles and be the first to reach the finish line. This brings a lot of chaos, as you have to try to push your opponents to make them tumble down abysses or get stuck on walls.
Each obstacle course offers new challenges. For example, it might also be necessary to shoot a ball into a goal to proceed.

What makes the game special? If you watch the trailer for the game, it seems that Fall Guys is just pure, fun chaos. Watching the little, cute characters wobble around trying to overcome obstacles and pushing each other, it’s definitely something that is great for parties.
Fall Guys therefore resembles the mini-games of the Mario Party series a bit. It could be just as much fun.
How many players compete against each other? In each match, up to 60 players try to reach the finish line as quickly as possible. This is pretty funny to watch on the often narrow paths. And of course, the little guys squeeze through tight openings, which leads to traffic jams.
Costumes play a big role in Fall Guys.
How to customize your character: To make the rounds even more fun, you can give your character colorful and crazy costumes and hats. This makes each match a colorful, chaotic fun as the wildly dressed characters waddle around.
You can unlock new costumes as rewards by winning rounds in the game.
When does the fun start? Fall Guys releases on August 4th for PS4 and PC. The PC version will be published via Steam. You can already pre-order the game for around 20 euros.
If you want to play a battle royale where fights with weapons are replaced by an obstacle course, then you should keep an eye on Fall Guys.
The ban of streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm from the streaming platform Twitch remains a mystery. Now, the biggest YouTuber in the world, Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg, has commented on the ban. From his perspective, the ban has an interesting timing.
On June 26, it became known that Twitch has banned streamer Dr Disrespect, apparently permanently. A few months earlier, the streamer had signed a multi-year exclusive contract with them. YouTuber PewDiePie spoke about the events in a stream on July 8 and shares his perspective (via youtube).
This is how PewDiePie views Dr Disrespect’s ban: What doesn’t add up for PewDiePie: Twitch offered Dr Disrespect a “multi-million dollar” deal in March, only to ban him at the end of June without providing reasons.
Three months ago, Twitch was willing to put money on the table and invest in this guy. And now he is permanently banned? That’s crazy!
PewDiePie
This is PewDiePie.
PewDiePie believes that Dr Disrespect now regrets not signing with Mixer:
Dr Disrespect is going to be so incredibly angry about not signing with Mixer. […] He signed with Twitch because he was hopeful about the future, instead of grabbing the big bucks. “I’ll be better off signing with Twitch” – I bet that’s what he thought. Oh God, that hurts.
PewDiePie
If he had signed an exclusive contract with Mixer, he would have had a similar payday at the end of Mixer as Michael “shroud” Grzesiek who reportedly made $10 million for 8 months of work. How much luck shroud had with his deal was addressed by Dr Disrespect himself in his stream.
What concerns PewDiePie the most is the lack of information regarding the ban. He finds the circumstances of the Doctor’s ban “crazy.”
When PewDiePie reads a tweet from a streamer saying the Doctor is “done”, he calls it “creepy.”
What could that have to do with Mixer? PewDiePie has heard the theory that Twitch wanted to dissolve the contract with Dr Disrespect, after Mixer shut down. Without a competitor to switch to, Twitch allegedly no longer wanted to pay the Doctor so highly.
This may not be the decisive reason, but it is still interesting timing, PewDiePie believes.
But the theory has a flaw. Because by doing so, Twitch conveys the idea to everyone: “If you sign with Twitch, you risk being completely shut down and losing everything. It’s not safe to sign with Twitch.”
PewDiePie believes Twitch must have a serious reason to ban Dr Disrespect and dissolve the contract. We will likely have to wait for the trial to learn more details.
We at MeinMMO have already dealt extensively with the ban of Dr Disrespect. The best theory we’ve heard so far comes from a lawyer specializing in business matters:
In this quiz, we have wrapped 15 popular MMOs and multiplayer games in the form of emojis. Can you guess which ones they are?
What kind of quiz is this? Many of the large and well-known MMOs and multiplayer games on the market have been around for many years and are very famous.
Most of us would recognize images of WoW, Destiny, or Fortnite, even if we have never played the games ourselves. That’s why we decided to make this quiz a bit trickier.
Games like Red Dead Redemption have created a lot of hype and will be known even to players who have never played them.
In the tool below, you will find emoji palettes with 4 icons each. Each combination of emojis represents a multiplayer game that you should guess. The icons give you clues about which game it could be.
Note: The emojis do not combine to form the titles of the games, but refer to the contents that exist in the games.
We have chosen a total of 15 popular multiplayer games. Some of them are quite old, while others are relatively new. And all of them have been extensively covered here on MeinMMO in articles.
It should be no problem for professionals like you to recognize these games at all.
Here’s how it works: If you think you have guessed the name of the game, you can click or tap on the image and find the answer on the back. There is no points system, but feel free to share your results in the comments.
How many of the games did you guess correctly? What was difficult and what was easy? Share your thoughts and have fun solving the puzzles!
Since a strong buff, the FAL is one of the absolute killers in Call of Duty: Warzone, yet hardly anyone chooses the semi-automatic weapon. A leak has now shown an attachment that could suddenly change that.
The Twitter account “Modern Warzone”, which is one of the biggest leakers of Call of Duty: Warzone (DougDagnabbit), listed his personal tier list of the Battle Royale in a tweet. As a small side note, he casually dropped that he discovered a “Full-Auto Conversion” for the FAL in the data. Here is the tweet:

FAL as an automatic rifle would likely be very overpowered
Why could the FAL become more popular because of this? Despite the really strong buff of the FAL, which was already among the strongest weapons, hardly anyone picks the assault rifle. The thing shoots in semi-automatic fire mode, meaning in single-shot mode.
What is tolerable with the strong sniper rifles in Warzone is something that hardly anyone wants to play on their main weapon for short and medium distances. But if the weapon should actually get an automatic fire mode, that might look very different. If you want to see the FAL even without automatic fire, here is our special on the FAL, with setups and important info:
What should the attachment offer? Some of the “conversion kits” that currently exist for some weapons change the caliber of the guns and the general properties. The submachine gun AUG, for example, becomes an assault rifle with its “ammo kit” and offers a completely different gunplay.
A conversion of the FAL should change the weapon as little as possible, then it could really take off:
Rate of fire remains at about 500 RPM, just automatic fire
Ammo capacity increased to at least 30, better 40 rounds
The damage profiles and ranges do not change
However, the weapon is already pretty strong, maybe even overpowered. The damage dealt by the weapon is fantastic, and with the low rate of fire, you can control the recoil well. If that also applies to the new auto-fire mode, the FAL gets a lot closer to the title of “best weapon in Warzone”.
The FAL could clear up quite a bit with automatic fire in Verdansk.
How certain is this? It is a leak from the game data, and a release is by no means certain. So take the information with a good portion of skepticism. However, the finding of such a file is often a clear indication that something is coming in Warzone.
The still short history of Warzone is closely linked with leaks and unwanted pre-information. Even the release of the Battle Royale was fueled by leaks for weeks and even now players are getting a lot of information about new content beforehand:
Of course, that doesn’t mean that automatic fire for the FAL is coming, but Warzone leaks based on game files can often be looked at more closely.
Experience has shown that the chance is relatively high that there is something to it. By the way, the current biggest leak is the suspected changes with Season 5. An atomic explosion in Verdansk is considered inevitable by many players and leakers.

In Destiny 2, we will soon encounter a Fallen Baroness, who will not only become the new Archon in the DLC but has been bothering us for years.
This is the new Archon: With the major Autumn expansion Beyond Light, Destiny 2 leads us to the icy moon Europa. Here, a Fallen Baroness has settled, who is the new main antagonist of the DLC: Eramis, Kell of Darkness.
The lady made her first appearance in the official reveal trailer (via YouTube). What many do not know is that Eramis has been giving players headaches for years – for example, she was the puppet master behind one of the coolest missions ever.
In this article, we take a look at the dark machinations of our great adversary, through which the first new element in 6 years will come to the Destiny universe in autumn:
This role has Eramis played so far: Eramis made a name for herself among the Fallen in the past by stealing ships as a space pirate. In English, her nickname is also “The Shipstealer”. She originally belonged to the House of Devils – veterans will remember another member of this faction: Sepiks Prime.
She is involved in these significant events:
Eramis was captured and imprisoned in the notorious “Prison of Elders” – where scoundrel Skolas also resides
During the Forsaken story, the Baroness managed to break out of the high-security facility – you may remember, during this breakout, fan favorite Cayde-6 died
From then on, Eramis wanted to take revenge on the world – she set out on the search for SIVA
After her misdeeds and the defeat in Hour Zero, the villain fled and hid in the depths of space – she has now been tracked down in Europa.
Skolas
Aksis
SIVA in weapon form: Perfected Outbreak
Eramis’ claw adorns the box art of the DLC
Eramis wants to bring new glory to the Fallen
Here she has quietly experimented and created a new element: Stasis. She succeeded in controlling the cold with the help of the Darkness. We will be able to taste this dark fruit ourselves starting September 22.
It will be exciting to see in what form the Ice Queen will confront us. Will she be the final boss of the story or will she make an appearance as a raid boss?
