Gameplay of new class shows: Black Desert has the coolest combat system in MMORPGs

Sascha Asendorf 5. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Black Desert Online will soon introduce a new class in the Korean version. The Hashashin now has its first character trailer, showcasing the Persian assassin in action. Black Desert demonstrates that it has the coolest combat system in an MMORPG.

What’s new: On July 3, Pearl Abyss released the character trailer for the new, now 20th class Hashashin, after teasing it in June.

The Hashashin in the trailer showcases the cool combat system in the MMORPG

This is the Hashashin – A Persian Assassin

The Hashashins, also known as the Assassins, were a medieval organization of assassins in the Middle East.

This is what the Hashashin can do: In Black Desert Online, the Hashashin, equipped with a Persian saber (Shamshir) and dual daggers, fights primarily in melee and occasionally summons sandstorms to harm his enemies or escape from precarious situations.

He can also pull his opponents towards him, perform impressive jumps, and move quickly from point A to B. With a kind of shadow step, the Hashashin moves even faster, and his combos appear very dynamic and action-packed in the trailer. Thanks to his passive skills, the Persian assassin is also supposed to be able to move even faster.

This likely makes the Hashashin one of the fastest melee fighters in Black Desert Online. Fast and deadly – typical assassin behavior.

Black Desert Online has the coolest combat system

The very dynamic and action-packed combat system in Black Desert Online is among the coolest, if not the coolest, in the entire MMORPG genre. In 2020, Black Desert Online is even booming, and player numbers are increasing significantly.

This is why the combat system is so cool: In Black Desert Online, you have the choice between 19 classes, making it 20 with the new Hashashin. These classes are divided into melee fighters, ranged fighters, spellcasters, tanks, and healers.

This makes each class very individual and plays differently in combat. However, all classes in Black Desert Online share one thing: the action combat system is very dynamic, fast, and feels fluid with the beautiful animations. The attacks and spells have a certain impact that players can enjoy wonderfully thanks to the effects and sounds.

It’s just fun to fight against groups of enemies and nasty bosses when it’s conveyed that every hit does significant damage and the hero is truly strong. Other MMORPGs with their tab-targeting and mini fireballs can’t compete with that.

The “The Elder Scrolls Online” YouTuber Dottz Gaming summarized this excellently in one of his videos about BDO:

This game has an incredible and immersive combat system and offers one of the best MMO combat experiences I’ve ever had. It plays really smoothly, the spell effects and audio feel both very impressive, and BDO is famous for its combat experiences.
Dottz Gaming

In addition to the already action-packed combat, secondary weapons can be unlocked for every class in the endgame. Through the so-called Awaken, additional skills and combos are unlocked, and players can switch back and forth between their weapons and skills during combat.

You can find an overview of all classes and their Awakenings here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAoi3Z5YQ9k

All classes in BDO play very action-packed

Not many MMORPGs can match the fights in Black Desert Online. However, relatively fast-paced fights are also offered by Tera and Blade and Soul – also Asian MMORPGs.

What do you think of the combat system in Black Desert Online, and which system is your favorite? Tab-targeting like in World of Warcraft or action combat like in BDO? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Black Desert Online is also one of the 10 MMORPGs with the best PvP on our list.

The slip of the Destiny 2 chief gives hope for a big wish since part 1

Sven Galitzki 5. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, a player wish that many have had since the early days of Destiny 1 could actually come true. We might finally be able to change the appearance of our Guardians.

This is what the wish is about: Even in Destiny 1 and also in Destiny 2, you can create a character before your “tenure” as a Guardian and customize it according to your preferences within the limits of what is possible.

However, these options are not really extensive and the worst part is – there is no way to adjust the appearance of your Guardian after creation. For some Guardians, this is a problem, and there has always been a desire for a change here.

Why is this a problem? Some simply want more customization options for the quite rudimentary editor – like a beard, for example.

Others are simply not happy with the appearance of their Guardian afterward (yes, even if you rarely see them) and would like to make changes without having to delete and recreate the character.

And again, others have been dissatisfied with the appearance of their Guardian since the transfer from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2, as not all details and colors were actually carried over in the same way they looked in part 1. But even here, not everyone wanted to delete and recreate their beloved Guardian with whom they have experienced adventures for years.

In short: There are many reasons for changes to the character, but basically (apart from deleting and recreating) there are no options. So far, Bungie has not made any efforts to address this player wish. But that might actually change at some point.

Where does the info come from? The info is already a few weeks old, but has so far, likely due to the timing of the announcement, flown under the radar for almost everyone.

Shortly after the announcement of Season 11, the new Beyond Light fall expansion and the plans until 2022, Luke Smith, the Franchise Director of Destiny, answered numerous questions from the streamer DrLupo about the future of Destiny 2. This topic was also touched upon. And it actually seems that there might eventually be movement in this matter. So don’t completely give up on your ugly Guardians just yet.

What exactly did Luke Smith say about this topic? During the stream, DrLupo asked almost casually: “Any plans for beards on characters?”

And Smith replied: “Look… As a face fur wearer, I think something like that would be cool, even if it’s a bit crazy on my female characters. But: We are currently working on overhauling our facial customization…. our facial pipeline overall. So maybe sometime in the future.”

What does that mean? This slip of the tongue, combined with the overall statement, gives some Guardians hope that at some point they will not only be able to wear pretty armor and weapons but also have an acceptable face.

The interesting part: Smith initially wanted to discuss customization but then pivoted to “facial pipeline”. But what does that mean? Some interpret it as Destiny 2 potentially upgrading its characters, in this case their facial palette including textures, animations, and maybe customization options as part of the transition to the next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X.

After all, not much has really changed since 2014 and with the transition, they may finally want to catch up or improve. But all of this is pure speculation for now.

What would you think of this possibility? Are you also hoping to one day be able to overhaul the face of your Guardian without having to delete them? Do you not care at all about the appearance of your character? Would you generally like more customization options for the editor? By the way, what to expect in the near future can be found here: Destiny 2 presents roadmap for Season 11 – What to expect until year 4

I enjoy helping beginners in GTA Online – Why doesn’t everyone do it?

Eilyn Rapp 5. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Beginners in GTA Online often have a tough time because they need to gain experience first. MyMMO author Eilyn Rapp is happy to provide support and cannot understand why other experienced players do not like to help.

Why do beginners have it tough in GTA Online? In the multiplayer mode of Grand Theft Auto V, multiple players from around the world are thrown together in a session. There are also different level tiers.

Beginners then face experienced players, but they do not have the same chance in a fight. The “pros” are better equipped with the best weapons and the coolest vehicles. However, there are also cool cars that are particularly suitable for beginners.

But they must first unlock these and gather enough money to even afford the gear. When beginners meet experienced players with their weak weapons, it is often clear who will come out victorious in the fight.

More on the topic

New in GTA Online? These 11 tips will lead you to success

von Patrick Freese

Right now, some new beginners are probably joining after GTA Online was offered for free on the Epic Games Store for a short time. There was such a huge rush of players wanting to download the game for free that the store went down.

Helping beginners is fun!

How do I help inexperienced players? There are various ways I can help inexperienced players in GTA Online. When I find myself in a session, I am often looking for jobs and simply join various heist missions. As luck would have it, I am usually the player with the highest level in the group.

You can tell that the beginners are happy to have an experienced player on their team because they start the mission so quickly that you can’t even say “A”. After that, it goes on with suddenly 3 players arguing about who gets to ride with you in the “cool” car. I always try to make the ride as exciting as possible for them.

In the final mission of a heist, the big reward is distributed among the players. Sometimes I don’t take any money for the help because beginners can use it much more. If we are not successful, then the mission is repeated until we succeed; no one gives up!

Why do I like to help inexperienced players? I have to say that I was lucky when I entered the world of Los Santos. In a close-knit group of friends, I could learn and practice all the game mechanics until I got the hang of it. That’s how I fell in love with GTA, and I couldn’t imagine how disappointed I would have been if I had to deal with random players who wouldn’t accept me.

For beginners who enter GTA Online alone, I wish the same, that they can have a successful gaming experience. They should have fun with the game and not have to leave frustrated again because experienced players won’t let them play.

Can’t we all do this, please?

The topic is important to me, and I am all the more disappointed when I see how some experienced players treat beginners. In my time in GTA Online, I have seen various ways inexperienced players are treated. Whether they are called “noob” or “loser” or are not allowed to participate in missions.

Yes, there are high levels who kick beginners out of their heists, and that is not even rare. I can understand that it can be tedious to take an inexperienced player along because the missions are hard and require strategy, but weren’t we all at that point? How are they supposed to gain experience and learn if we don’t let them try?

Then there are still a type of players who simply have nothing better to do than pick on beginners. It is indeed so hard to kill a weaker opponent – over and over again for hours. The poor beginners can’t even run away because they are immediately killed again.

To all these “pros”: Congratulations, you belong to the most annoying player types you can encounter in GTA Online!

It would be nice if we could all help each other instead of attacking beginners. Then everyone has fun with the game, and eventually beginners will not be inexperienced anymore. Let’s allow them to explore the world of Los Santos and try different things in GTA Online until then. I will certainly continue to do so and support every beginner I encounter.

5 Things Only Real MMORPG Veterans Still Know

Cortyn 5. July 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

Playing MMORPGs has changed significantly over the years. We present to you 5 things that only true MMORPG veterans still know.

MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or The Elder Scrolls Online are now one of the biggest pastimes overall. They are easy to install, often cost little, and can captivate for many hours. But it wasn’t always like that before. In the “old days”, anyone wanting to play an MMORPG had to deal with a variety of problems that today sound like stories from the distant Middle Ages.

It’s time for 5 things that only true MMORPG veterans will remember.

1. The Mammoth Task of Installation

Anticipation is the greatest joy – or at least that’s what they say. When installing PC games, especially extensive MMORPGs, this holds particularly true. When bringing home a new game, one had to prepare for a lengthy installation – often across several CDs.

Completely excited, one would insert CD after CD into the drive and watch the installation bar move forward millimeter by millimeter. If nothing moved, one would even press a ruler or pen against the screen to see if the bar truly wasn’t moving any further.

So one often waited an hour or longer expectantly in front of the computer, hoping that the grayed-out “Play” button would finally be filled with life.

And anyone thinking: “Okay, why didn’t you play something else during the installation?” – Oh, my sweet summer child.

Most computers back then were so busy with the installation of a large game that one wouldn’t even dare to start Minesweeper in the meantime. Who knew back then if that would overload the PC and lead to a crash? A risk no sensible gamer would ever take.

2. The Infinite Value of Magazine CDs

Even though it sounds a bit like the grandpa from the war recounting stories – back then, so-called “magazine CDs” (or magazine DVDs) were something very special. It could happen that on one of those discs, you found the latest patch for your favorite game. While this was only “nice” for single-player games, it was a real blessing for MMORPG players. With a normal internet connection, downloading could often take many hours.

Not only did this lose valuable time while playing, but it could also become quite costly. In most cases, the internet connection wasn’t charged monthly per flat rate but rather strictly by the minute – and that with a transmission rate so low that even images in 640×480 format took several seconds to load.

You always had that satisfied sparkle in your eyes when magazines like GameStar or Bravo Screenfun included the latest patch for a game. Just that was often worth the price of such magazines.

However, there are also game mechanics that only MMORPG veterans still know.

3. Failed Downloads

If there was no saving magazine CD or the only friend with turbo internet didn’t have a USB stick to lend, nothing worked. Patches had to be downloaded manually and that took its time back then. Depending on the game and update, the complete patch process could easily take four, five hours or longer.

Particularly enjoyable were those moments when you returned to the computer after hours, ready to immerse yourself in the game – only to find such a message in disbelief:

The file haettestduwohlgerne.cab has an error in the segment waerewichtiggewesen.data. The download process was aborted.

Unlike today, where you can simply resume the download, back then that often meant: Everything from scratch. If you meet relaxed players in MMORPGs today who apparently “have all the time in the world” – they’ve probably trained that over the years through hellish experiences.

4. “Talking to Yourself” at Home Leading to Connection Breaks

If back then you lived with your parents or had a partner who had little understanding of gaming, you knew the situation: Suddenly the connection to the game broke. As Murphy’s law would have it, of course at the worst time.

You took off the headphones and heard someone in the next room engaging in a self-talk. Oh, no, not that – it was a phone call.

In many households back then, there was exactly one line for internet access – and that ran over the phone line. In plain language, this meant anyone wanting to surf the internet or play games could only do so until someone wanted to make a phone call.

When the phone was used, the internet connection dropped. The understanding among people who didn’t comprehend MMORPGs (or simply weren’t interested) was rather low.

“Do you really need to be on the internet that much? Just download the game.”
“Then just hit pause until I’m done.”
“Yeah, I didn’t think you’d notice if I just called Grandma for a second.”

Yes, I do notice. And unfortunately, all my teammates do too. Thanks.

Would you like to know how much you really play on the PS4? Track your playtime now

Sascha Asendorf 5. July 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

On PlayStation 4, there is no official way to display your playtime. While PC players can track where they have invested the most time on platforms like Steam, PS4 players are left in the dark. A fan site is changing that now.

This is a sad fact: On PlayStation 4, playtimes cannot be displayed on the console itself. Sony does not offer such statistics, unlike other providers like Valve’s Steam – or just as a highlight. Only in the individual games can such information be displayed, but even that is not always the case.

The playtime is an interesting piece of information and often leads to discussions – especially among friends. Just recently, a PC player spent 1000 days of playtime with just one character in the MMORPG World of Warcraft.

This is the alternative: A fan site named PS-Timetracker addresses this issue and offers all PS4 players an alternative. By adding a bot as a friend to your PS account, your activities will then be tracked and presented on the website as statistics for you personally.

The collected playtime data is also used for a publicly accessible top 100 list, where the total playtime of users for a month is aggregated. Currently, the number 1 is The Last of Us Part 2, closely followed by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

These are the disadvantages: PS-Timetracker offers a good solution, but unfortunately, playtime is only tracked once the bot is in your friends list. Any playtime you invested in your PlayStation 4 in the months or years prior will not be displayed.

The website itself does not have too many users yet, so the public monthly statistics are not representative of the entire PlayStation community. However, it still provides a rough insight into the most played titles.

Will you use the service of the website or do you already know which games you have invested the most time in? Whether it’s hundreds or even thousands of hours, let us know in the comments.

The ESO community is really excited about the new mount

Larissa Then 5. July 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has a lot of mounts to offer. In July, it will also get a ram and the community is excited.

What kind of mount is this? The Elder Scrolls Online has given a preview of the Crown Store items for July. Included is also a new mount, a ram with large horns, a saddle, and reins.

The Yorgrim Ram will be available starting July 9, and the price is still unknown. However, the mount will likely be available normally and not through loot boxes. So far, there is only a description of the majestic ram:

In the context of an annual competition, participants must ride their potential prize up a mountain and then down again at full speed – and that without a saddle and without falling off. Most rams intentionally send their riders into the air to make it clear that the ram chooses its rider itself.
On the showcase at elderscrollsonline.com

The new mount sounds pretty ram-like. However, once you can call it your own, it is a loyal companion. The players are already enchanted, and the ram is a star in the ESO Reddit.

The community is hyped

Already on the day of release, July 1, a post on Reddit received 1,600 upvotes and 145 comments in no time. Players are celebrating the new ram mount for various reasons.

Some are excited about more variety in mounts. The last mounts were often horses, senche (riding cats), or wolves. A ram fits well in the mix.

The players’ hopes and expectations for the new mount are high. Some have realistic ideas for the ram and wish to be able to climb mountains with it like in Skyrim. After all, the latest expansion brought Skyrim to ESO:

Then we can finally “skyrim” every barrier!
LahnderRein via Reddit

In Skyrim, a player could almost climb every mountain with their horse. Even vertical walls were often not a problem. You can see what that looks like in this video, which ends with a very nice fall:

With a horse, you can explore many interesting places in Skyrim

Other players have less realistic expectations, but they are quite funny. They wish for a ramming function to compete against other players or to mow people down in PvP.

That this ram mount is again only available for crowns and thus real money seems to bother very few. Some on Reddit even emphasize that they are willing to spend their money on new mounts. This includes my MeinMMO colleague Jürgen Horn, who tried his luck with the last loot boxes.

There is more in the showcase

However, the Crown Store has even more treasures ready in July. Also celebrated in the community are the new companions (via Reddit), two dogs, and a mysterious cat from Razum-dar, which was gifted to him:

The Great Dane is available from July 2 to July 8.
You can get the Ironclad Avalanche Dog just like the ram starting July 9.
The Ja-Khajiit Raz will be available during an event, more information about which will be coming soon.

Whether the companions have a use, like the new rat pet in ESO, remains to be seen. Additionally, the Crown Store will also have a lot of decorations and costumes. There will also be crafting styles and furnishings.

But the coolest new item is probably the ram. We are excited to see what this new mount has in store for us. It is presumably just a mount, but an extremely stylish one.

CoD Warzone: 3 important map changes that are supposedly coming with Season 5

Sven Galitzki 5. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone, there are numerous rumors about how and when the map could change. The US site Video Games Chronicle (VGC) now claims to have learned what is actually happening: The CoD Warzone map is supposed to change with Season 5.

What are the changes about? The developers of Call of Duty: Warzone continuously provide the battlefield in Verdansk with new content, such as new weapons or modes. Just recently, for example, the new mode Juggernaut Royale was introduced.

But there are also changes happening in the game world. For example, a Bunker System has been added, where players can find loot and an atom warhead. The game world is supposed to continue to change there. Because CoD: Warzone is supposed to become a long-lasting constant that connects Modern Warfare and future CoD releases.

Many players and fans have already been expecting some map changes in Warzone during the current Season 4. There have been many rumors and potential clues – for example, about a dam breach. Some even speculated about a completely new map. However, nothing concrete has happened so far. According to a US site, the map will significantly change – namely in Season 5.

This is what VGC says: According to VGC, significant “map changes” in Warzone are finally expected in the upcoming Season 5 at the beginning of August. They claim to have learned this from sources involved in the development. However, the site does not get more specific.

These are not official information, so take this with the appropriate amount of caution and skepticism. However, in the past, VGC has correctly predicted several details about Modern Warfare and Warzone (which they also had from anonymous sources) – including the free-to-play version of Warzone and the correct launch date of the battle royale mode.

What is supposed to change on the Warzone map with Season 5

According to VGC, the following things are supposed to happen on the Warzone map around Verdansk in Season 5:

The stadium will open: First of all, the stadium in the center of Verdansk is finally supposed to open. Already with the announcement of the Season 4 Reloaded, i.e. the mid-season update, official images surfaced (see title image) showing that the roof of the stadium is open and that several floors inside the sports facility are accessible.

This change is not yet in the game. According to VGC’s sources, we won’t be able to explore the interior until Season 5.

There will be a loot train: Furthermore, the site claims that there will be a kind of loot train in Season 5. This train is supposed to circle around the Verdansk map and be filled with loot.

Recently, a whole railway line has been added to the Warzone game world, which circumnavigates Verdansk. However, it currently serves no purpose – no trains operate there yet. This potential feature also does not seem too far-fetched.

You can learn more about the stadium and the railway line in this video by CoD expert TheXclusiveAce:

The atom warhead might finally detonate: What many speculated in Season 4 could finally happen in Season 5, according to VGC sources. The atomic weapon discovered in Season 3 could detonate in the next season and initiate a map revamp.

Additionally, changes are supposed to be made to Warzone according to VGC to align it “with the new Call of Duty 2020 (likely Black Ops 5)“, which is set during the Cold War. An atom warhead from exactly that era would fit perfectly.

VGC has not commented on a potential new Warzone map, which has been increasingly discussed since the launch of Season 4. But what do you think? Would you be excited about these changes? Or would you prefer a new map for the battle royale?

Attention: Quest in Destiny 2 gives away rare weapons that will soon disappear

Philipp Hansen 5. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, you will soon be able to snag rare weapons as part of an Exo quest, which will no longer be accessible starting in Fall 2020, but are particularly valuable for title hunters and collectors.

This is what the quest is about: In Season 11, Destiny players will face a comprehensive quest where we have to evacuate half of the solar system. Commander Zavala sends us on 22 quest steps across 4 planets threatened by Darkness – As a reward, the exotic pistol “Chosen of the Traveler” awaits.

Resourceful players have now discovered that the quest carries additional rewards. These include 4 weapons that will soon no longer be obtainable and were already rare prior.

For those wanting to know more about the great evacuation in Destiny 2, you can find it here:

More on the topic

Destiny 2: Chosen of the Traveler – Here’s how to get the 3rd new exotic in Season 11

von Sven Galitzki

What weapons will be available soon? Throughout the quest, you will receive these 4 legendary weapons:

Silikonneurom: You will receive this sniper rifle from Asher Mir on Io.
BrayTech Osprey: The rocket launcher is available from Ana Bray on Mars.
T.V.O (DFA): The hand cannon is awarded by Brother Vance.
Noble Duty: The auto rifle is handed over by Sloan on Titan.

Players are still pondering (via reddit) whether these are current versions of the weapons. Until now, all four weapons have only been available as Year 1 versions in the game, meaning they lack a perk and mod slot.

Collectors and title hunters will soon be happy in Destiny 2

Why are the weapons so rare? Whether these are currently up-to-date weapons, possibly even with later weapon retirements or not, matters little to many. Because until now, all mentioned weapons have been hard to obtain and therefore missing in many collections.

The reason is that the weapons were exclusive Nightfall rewards. This means that each weapon is only available after the boss fight of a specific strike. The strike must be in the weekly Nightfall rotation – Moreover, the boss drop is also random.

Even rarer will the weapons become starting September 2020. With the major expansion “Beyond Light”, some Destiny 2 content will be moved to the so-called Content Vault. This also includes all four respective strikes, which are located on the planets to be evacuated.

Therefore, title hunters are excited: There have often been complaints when that one strike had not been in rotation for weeks, which offered the missing weapon as a drop. For the Wanderer title, these random drops must be collected – Therefore, the respective strikes are farmed up and down by collectors.

Finally, I can finish Wanderer
Sirman89 via reddit

Even though the evacuation is not yet live, it is already well received by the players. The quest is seen as a farewell song to the (for now) unreachable locations and the facilitated accessibility prior to the inaccessibility of the 4 weapons is considered a nice gesture.

If you missed Exotics from previous seasons, you need not despair, because through an item, the flagship weapons are within reach: Exotic Code in Destiny 2: What it can do and what it is most worth.

MMORPG Black Desert nerfs class so hard that players protested, but nice

Irina Moritz 4. July 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The Tamer class in Black Desert Online has received a significant nerf. Players of the MMORPG are now seeking to effect a change, consciously opting out of the usual shitstorm.

This is the nerf: A few days ago, an update was released in Black Desert Online that brought about some major balance changes in PvP. One change affected the Tamer class, which operates with their pet Heilang.

The Tamers received a hefty nerf of 12.5% on their damage in this update and should expect further nerfs to their ultimate ability in the near future.

Previously, according to player statements, the class was not particularly popular in PvP even before the nerfs.

The 10 MMORPGs with the best PvP of all time

von Andreas Bertits

What are the players doing? In a Discord specifically set up for Tamer players, the admins addressed the nerf. Logically, players were not happy about the changes to their class and decided to start an initiative to reverse the nerf.

Their plan is to seek a conversation with the developers. It will not be a shitstorm or rage thread on Reddit, but rather a civilized discussion regarding the current state of the Tamer class.

In the Discord and official forums, they started a call asking BDO players to write a support ticket. The content of the ticket should be a prepared message that accurately describes all the disadvantages of the class from the player’s perspective. These include, for example,

slow movement speed
low burst damage
increased damage taken

At the end of the message, the developers are addressed directly and asked to find a solution for the Tamer class together with the players.

The polite and constructive tone of the message contrasts with the often rude and angry reactions that follow nerfs in forums and on social media.

Nevertheless, players want their voices to be heard and therefore also ask players of other classes to support them in this initiative. They should send this email to support, and the more people who do it, the better.

Black Desert Online also has content for PvE fans, which you should take a closer look at.

How to kill a Juggernaut in CoD: Warzone – 4 tips for the new mode

Sven Galitzki 4. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone, you can currently play the new mode Juggernaut Royale. We explain what this format is all about and give you 4 tips for the fight.

What is Juggernaut Royale? Recently, the big Mid-Season Update brought new content for CoD Modern Warfare and Warzone into the game. This includes, among other things, a new multiplayer map, the new AMR sniper, and a new, limited-time mode Juggernaut Royale.

Juggernaut Royale embodies the familiar battle royale principle of Warzone, spiced up with heavily armored and armed combat suits – the Juggernauts. Many might already know them as a Kill-Streak from traditional multiplayer.

How does Juggernaut Royale work? This mode is played (currently) in a trios format. Three supply drops will be dropped across Verdansk, the game world of Warzone. Each of them contains a Juggernaut suit and a minigun, which you can use to hunt down other players – provided you get to them first. If a Juggernaut player is eliminated and goes to the Gulag, a new suit will be dropped.

In short: In Juggernaut Royale, battles are fought for, in, and against these 3 suits. This is well received by many players. You can find more details here: CoD Warzone: 200-player mode and Juggernaut Royale leaked

3 Tips for Juggernaut Royale in CoD Warzone

Decide how you want to play: Do you just want to have fun with your friends or play seriously for the win? This may sound trivial, but it is essential in this case. Because this strongly influences your further actions and your strategy for the match.

The right timing is crucial: Once you’ve made your decision, the following two approaches are recommended:

If you want to have fun and don’t care much about the first place, you can move directly to one of the suits after the drop. It will get intense right away. The fight for the Juggernaut suit often escalates into a real massacre – especially when the first player grabs the suit.
If you want to play for the win, it’s definitely advisable to wait. If you want to grab the suit, it’s much easier in a later stage of a match. You’ll have fewer enemies to deal with, and your chances of getting the suit will significantly improve.

Additionally, approaching the suit-wielder and their team in the early stages of the match is almost like a suicide mission.

Combat the Juggernaut’s firepower with even more firepower: As mentioned – at the beginning it’s almost suicide to engage the suit. It has immense firepower, can easily destroy vehicles, and can take a lot of damage.

It’s advisable to scrape together better equipment before engaging a Juggernaut. They might already be damaged and have less health.

Some helpful options are:

Launchers and sniper rifles for combat from a safe distance
Vehicles to ram the Juggernaut
Machine guns like the Bruen are great for combat – especially in mounted position
A cluster strike or precision air strike are effective – especially since the Juggernaut moves relatively slowly

Take down the suit-wielder’s team-mates first: What is often crucial in the later stages of the match: Take out the team-mates of the suit-wielder before focusing on the Juggernaut itself.

They are usually well protected by their team-mates. If you’re not careful and too focused on the combat machine, these can easily take you out. Because what many forget: the Juggernaut is the biggest and most spectacular threat in this mode, but far from the only one.

Once you’ve eliminated their squad members, you’ll have an easier time dealing with the behemoth.

Diablo 3: The new season theme of S21 is cool but also really annoying

Patrick Freese 4. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Yesterday, Season 21 started in Diablo 3 with a new seasonal theme. While this is a lot of fun for our editor, it is also quite annoying. Why?

What is the theme about? In Season 21 of Diablo 3, the seasonal buff is running for the Trial of the Storms. For players, this means that every 90 seconds a power is unleashed that helps in defeating enemies.

When I started leveling my Demon Hunter yesterday at the start of the season, I initially found the buff quite positive. Enemies exploded quickly, and my Nephalem Rifts were much more relaxed than without this help.

But after half an hour, the buff started to annoy me a lot. The reason for that is its effects. I have been playing Diablo 3 for many years and have spent hundreds of hours in seasons and off-seasons. I must say: Blizzard has had better solutions for such buffs before.

Pros and Cons of the Seasonal Buff

This is good: It was immediately noticeable to me and my buddies, with whom I leveled from 1 to 70, that leveling was made easier. The buff sends meteors, snowballs, lightning bolts, or fire walls onto the battlefield every 90 seconds, supporting us and flattening enemies.

This is cool and makes the tedious leveling process quite fun. Even in Season 19, Blizzard managed to make boring leveling cool again with a seasonal buff.

Although this help with leveling is really welcome, it quickly becomes annoying. And for me, there are two reasons for that.

This is annoying: Every 90 seconds, when such a power is unleashed, the game announces it with a loud “tröööööööööööt”. It sounds like a huge cruise ship that blows its horn to let everyone know that it is about to dock at the harbor. Look for “Nebelhorn” on YouTube.

Make sure to activate the sound in the video so you know which horn I’m talking about.

This horn got so annoying to me after the first half hour that I had to mute the game’s sound. When I asked my buddies in Teamspeak, “Hey, what about this horn from the Season Buff?” I was immediately interrupted by an “Oh yes, so annoying!” It’s so loud that I had to turn down my ingame sound significantly as a long-term solution, just to be able to talk to my friends in Teamspeak while still hearing something from the game.

In addition, the visual effects are annoying in two ways.

It’s not enough that this powerful horn has to indicate that a huge snowball is rolling across the map. No, the game also has to visually adapt to the effect. So what do they do? They make it snow all over the visible map. Likely developed with people in mind who don’t want to hear the horn after a few minutes.

And if it’s not a snowball? Then they darken the map or bathe everything in effects. So that no one misses that an effect is being unleashed. What sounds helpful at first, is really tiring for the eyes in the long run.

Furthermore, the effects are initially very confusing. Those green circles on the ground remind 1:1 of attacks used by enemies. So I run out of there in a panic. Until I realize: Oh right, meteors are about to rain down, and that’s the visual announcement on the ground.

Conclusion: I like the idea behind the buff. Also, that Blizzard listened to the negative feedback from testers of the PTR servers and adjusted the buff again. However, this feature annoys me quite a bit in its current form. I would wish for a toggle switch for the sounds and the visual effects – instead, a countdown in the buff bar would be more than enough to prepare for the upcoming event.

What might comfort you over the annoying effects of the seasonal theme are strong builds of your classes. With those, you can race through the Greater Rifts and focus more on your gameplay than on sounds. In our Tier List for Season 21 in Diablo 3, we show you the best classes and builds.

Albion Online lets you be ambushed by enemies in dungeons like in Dark Souls

Irina Moritz 4. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Albion Online receives a major update in August called “Rise of Avalon”. It includes the Corrupted Dungeons, which will be the new PvPvE content of Albion. And fans of Dark Souls will find the PvP system familiar.

What are the Corrupted Dungeons? The Dungeons are a new feature in the upcoming update “Rise of Avalon”. They are PvPvE content designed for solo players and were implemented at the request of the community, according to the developers.

As you explore the open world of Albion, you will encounter the entrances to the Corrupted Dungeons. Before entering, you will need to choose a difficulty level.

Low difficulty means no full-loot PvP, which means you will not lose your belongings after a PvP defeat. However, the rewards are considerably worse than at higher difficulties with full-loot PvP.

To complete the dungeon, you must fight through hordes of demons and cleanse the area. You collect “Infamy” points for each kill and once you have collected enough, the final boss of the dungeon will appear.

When you defeat the boss, you will receive loot that depends on the difficulty and your Infamy rank that you retain after the dungeon.

Invasions into Other Players’ Dungeons

What is the similarity to Dark Souls? The PvP part of the Corrupted Dungeons works as follows: In the dungeons, you will find “Demonic Shrines”, with which you can initiate an invasion and invade other players’ dungeons to fight them.

To do this, you need to register at the shrine, and the system regularly checks if it can find a suitable PvP partner. Once that happens, the attacking player will be teleported to the dungeon of their opponent, where the duel will take place – similar to how it is in Dark Souls games.

The defending player can either accept and fight the duel or has the option to expel the opponent from their dungeon. To do this, the defending player must destroy all demonic shards that appear in their dungeon along with the attacker.

This is how the PvP system is meant to gain more depth: A series of features will ensure that the invasions in the Corrupted Dungeons are exciting. When the attacker lands in their opponent’s dungeon, they do not necessarily appear directly in front of the other player.

The opponents must first find each other, but they are not marked on the map. Instead, one can see the positions of the slain NPC monsters in the dungeon and try to guess where the other player is located.

Additionally, there are “Watcher Demons” in the dungeons that patrol the area. If players are not careful and enter the line of sight of these demons, their position on the map will be marked and they will become visible.

Furthermore, the developers have placed a large number of traps and dangers in the dungeons that players can exploit to their advantage during PvP duels by luring their opponents into them.

The 10 MMORPGs with the best PvP of all time

von Andreas Bertits

What rewards are there in PvP? Players who successfully engage in duels in the Corrupted Dungeons will receive rewards for their victories. On the one hand, you can deprive your opponent of their belongings if they play at a high difficulty that allows full loot.

On the other hand, the winner receives a boost to their Infamy after a duel. This adds up and increases their ranking, which in turn leads to better rewards in the Corrupted Dungeons.

CoD Warzone: The new item Spotter Scope – Here is how to use it correctly

Sven Galitzki 4. July 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

Recently, there is a new item in Call of Duty: Warzone – the Spotter Scope. MeinMMO explains what this new piece of equipment can do, where to find it, and how to use it best.

What is the Spotter Scope all about? The Spotter Scope is a new piece of equipment for CoD Warzone and was recently introduced with the big Mid-Season Update.

It takes up an equipment slot like a smoke grenade or the Heartbeat Sensor and embodies, alongside a sniper scope with high zoom or a drone, essentially another useful means of reconnaissance.

By the way, if you often use a sniper scope, you should check out this article: CoD Warzone: All about the telling Scope Reflection – For Shooters and Victims

Everything you need to know about the Spotter Scope in Warzone

What exactly can the Spotter Scope do? Whether as a sniper, its support, or just in a team: If you want to spot or scout a target, you have previously relied on sniper scopes or drones. But these have their disadvantages. Drones can be easily heard, and sniper scopes have a telling reflection that warns the victim and draws attention to the shooter.

Now there is another item that excellently fulfills this role – the permanently usable Spotter Scope. It is essentially a binocular that allows you to look far thanks to high zoom – both normally and in thermal view, which often makes spotting targets in heavily vegetated areas or in windows easier.

In addition, you can mark enemies, making them visible to you and your squad.

What is the big advantage of the Spotter Scope? The big advantage is: It is silent and has no reflection. This means: The telling shine of a sniper scope is eliminated. You can scout and mark targets completely unnoticed at all relevant distances – whether you want to eliminate them yourself as a sniper without revealing your position or for your team.

How do you get the Spotter Scope? You find this new scope randomly on the ground and in crates scattered across the game world or as a reward for completing a reconnaissance contract.

How exactly does marking work? If you keep an enemy in the middle of the scope for a while, they will be marked with a red diamond. This remains (temporarily) even if the enemy disappears behind a corner or enters a building.

The distance to the enemy plays a role:

You need 3 seconds to mark an enemy at long distance
2 seconds at medium distance
and just under 1 second at close range

The marking remains for 5 seconds and is visible to all squad members. However, it remains permanently on the enemy if you stay on them with the Spotter Scope. The 5 seconds only count once you are no longer aiming at the enemy with the scope.

You can check out how the Spotter Scope looks in action in this English video by YouTuber MrTheRevertz:

How to best use the Spotter Scope

Solo: If you are playing alone and like to play as a sniper, this new item is essentially a must-have. It allows you to easily spot targets even at extreme distances without revealing your position through a flickering reflection – whether in open areas, wooded areas, or in the windows of high buildings.

Just find a quiet spot and scan the most important strategic points for enemies. You just need to quickly use your sniper scope to shoot and then you can change your position.

However, the device competes as tactical equipment with the strong Heartbeat Sensor. Also an important device in solo mode, and you should carefully consider which gadget is best suited for your match and chosen playstyle.

8 Tips for Snipers in CoD Warzone – Loadout and Tactics

von Noah Struthoff

In a team: The new item is also very valuable in a team – especially in combination with a Heartbeat Sensor. If one member of the team has the Spotter Scope and another has the Heartbeat Sensor, then you are essentially tactically well-equipped for all eventualities.

If you have to cross a larger area, scan specific points from a distance or mark enemies for your comrades, then the scope comes into play. If you need to enter a building or are in a densely built area, the Heartbeat Sensor helps.

In short: Working with others makes the Spotter Scope an effective sniper or its direct support, but also an extremely valuable member of the squad that can generally mark enemies for all his comrades and can scout and monitor the battlefield unnoticed.

Destiny 2: Record player count in PvP – After controversial matchmaking change

Sven Galitzki 4. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, nearly a million players were active in PvP at the same time at the beginning of July. It seems Bungie’s matchmaking plan is coming together.

What’s happening in July in Destiny 2? Currently, the first Iron Banner of Season 11 is underway – a one-week PvP event held once a month. However, the Iron Banner is doing some things differently this time, which is reflected in the player numbers.

What’s behind the record numbers in PvP? The July Iron Banner has led to player numbers in PvP that haven’t been seen in this capacity for a long time. According to the US site GameRant, it is the most popular Iron Banner event Destiny 2 has ever had.

In the first days of the event, nearly a million players played simultaneously in PvP, which includes the Iron Banner; according to DestinyTracker, on July 1st there were 942,766 Guardians.

Meanwhile, only 956,282 players were engaged in PvE – a phenomenon not seen in a long time. Normally, significantly more players are active in PvE than in PvP.

For immediate comparison: On June 29, according to DestinyTracker, there were still 794,873 players in the Crucible and 945,433 in PvE.

This is the controversial change: The first Iron Banner of Season 1 does some things differently. There were, among other things, changes to loot and new, event-specific perks for weapons.

There were also changes to matchmaking. For the first time, the Iron Banner in July does not rely on skill-based matchmaking (SBMM). This means your skill and stats do not influence which opponents you are assigned to in the Iron Banner.

You can learn more about it here: Destiny 2: First Iron Banner in Season 11 starts – What’s changing

This change was already introduced by Bungie in large parts of the Crucible at the beginning of June and aims to bring more fun back to PvP in Destiny 2. The goal is to have shorter waiting times before matches, and to ensure better connection quality. It should simply go more relaxed and carefree. Players should not always have to “sweat” and give their best but rather have fun, according to Bungie.

In Season 11, skill-based matchmaking was also disabled in the Iron Banner. However, the change is controversial and is debated by some – even here at MeinMMO.

There are players who find it much more enjoyable and fun now, but also some who dislike it entirely. They say the chance of being taken apart by overwhelmingly strong teams is now much higher. Weaker players might hardly stand a chance, as they can now be matched against significantly stronger Guardians.

Are the high numbers solely attributable to the matchmaking? It is difficult to judge to what extent the new matchmaking actually played a role here. However, especially in conjunction with the Iron Banner, which has seemingly lost its former glory, this change seems to make many players happy.

Top loot has been available in the Iron Banner for a while. So that shouldn’t be a reason for such a spike. Although there’s a shorter quest and new perks, even these are not so outstanding as to justify such an increase in players.

Furthermore, the Iron Banner does not take place at the start of a new season, and there are currently no really new contents. The new matchmaking likely brought some additional players to the Crucible – not entirely on its own, but rather in conjunction with the other adjustments in the Iron Banner. It seems, therefore, that Bungie hit the nerve of many players with the change despite some loud criticism.

What do you think? Is the noticeable increase in players in PvP due to the new matchmaking, or is it attributable to something else? Was moving away from SBMM the right choice? By the way, in the Iron Banner, there was another, but not communicated change that may be of interest to some players: Why the Iron Banner might be really worthwhile for you this time

Pokémon GO: 10 damn cool monsters that should be much stronger

Noah Struthoff 4. July 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are already hundreds of Pokémon. Many of them are really strong, but there are also some monsters that look cool and powerful, but unfortunately are not really strong.

This is shown by the list: The best attackers in Pokémon GO often look immediately dangerous or strong. You can tell at first glance: “Yes, this is a good Pokémon!”

Unfortunately, this does not apply to all monsters. There are some Pokémon that look strong, but unfortunately are not very useful in the game.

Therefore, we show you 10 Pokémon that look really strong but unfortunately can do nothing.

10 Pokémon that should not be weak

This is how we proceed: This is a personal assessment of the author. The appearance of the monster is taken into account and compared with the values in Pokémon GO.

Either the Pokémon simply has weak stats or unfortunately has bad attacks.

Blastoise

Blastoise stands representative for almost every starter in Pokémon GO. In the main games, you always raised your starter and spent the entire game with it.

In Pokémon GO, starters are often weak. Blastoise is probably the worst case here. The Water Starter from Gen 1 visually has all the potential to be a strong Pokémon. Two cannons on its shoulders, a shell for protection, and an intimidating look. In the end, however, it all means nothing.

Blastoise does not even reach 2500 CP and as a Water Attacker, even with Community Day attack, it is pretty weak. Only in the Hyper League of the PvP mode is it somewhat usable. However, unfortunately, Blastoise is not a real weapon.

Nidoking

The name Nidoking already sounds powerful, but unfortunately it does not live up to that. Although it is a powerful and armored monster with a horn, you cannot do anything with Nidoking in Pokémon GO.

The stats of Nidoking are poor, and the attacks seal its fate. The combination makes Nidoking a weak Pokémon that is not strong for either PvP or Raids.

Armaldo

Armaldo somewhat resembles Nidoking and unfortunately suffers the same fate. The Bug and Rock type Pokémon looks really fierce and has actually powerful claws. Unfortunately, in Pokémon GO, they don’t help.

It does reach at least 2848 CP, but the attacks and its weak attack value make it not competitive.

Ursaring

Ursaring actually has the best potential to be a really good Pokémon. It is after all a big bear with huge paws that looks fierce.

However, in Pokémon GO, it appears more like a small teddy bear. Ursaring can reach nearly 3000 CP, but it is of Normal type and is thus already branded. Its attacks are either ineffective against no Pokémon or lack STAB because they are not of Normal type.

Walrein

A large walrus with sharp tusks. It has everything it needs to become a really strong Ice Attacker.

However, reality looks different. Walrein is maximally solid and no more than an alternative to Mamoswine or Snorunt.

Abomasnow

Abomasnow somewhat resembles a giant snow-covered fir tree. Additionally, it always has an angry look. It bears the nickname “The Ice Monster” and definitely looks the part.

However, in Pokémon GO, Abomasnow is not an Ice Monster. It can hardly reach 2400 CP, and its actual strength is not found in the smartphone game. Here, it has just an attack value of 178.

Stalos

Stalos can grow over 9 meters tall and has a huge head with a mouth. The Pokémon looks really dangerous and could actually be really good.

Unfortunately, Stalos is not particularly strong in Pokémon GO. It only reaches about 2400 CP and has an attack value of 148. Compared to other ground or steel type monsters, it performs terribly. In addition, it also has poor attacks.

Karippas

Karippas is the ninja turtle among Pokémon. A standing turtle with an armored head. However, anyone who thinks they see the strength of a ninja turtle here is mistaken.

Karippas can only reach 2600 CP. It also has poor water attacks and the competition is huge.

Siberio

Siberio somewhat resembles a yeti. It is a large polar bear that looks really fierce. The icicles hanging from its mouth give it a dark appearance.

In Pokémon GO, it still reaches over 3000 CP, but it is not really useful. Wrong attacks and a relatively low attack value make it no more than a weaker alternative among the ice attackers.

Gyarados

Gyarados is depicted as a powerful Pokémon in the anime and the story behind it is quite good: A small, inconspicuous fish evolves into this huge monster.

In Pokémon GO, Gyarados is definitely not useless, but it is also not really strong. As a Water Attacker, it is only an alternative, and monsters like Kyogre or Kingler are much better.

Considering that you need 400 candies for its evolution, Gyarados is unfortunately no longer the top attacker it once was at the beginning of the game.

If you are looking for really strong Pokémon, then you should remember the upcoming raid boss Kyurem. It is one of the best attackers in the entire game.

Teenager secretly spends $21,500 on PUBG Mobile – Parents make him work now

Irina Moritz 4. July 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A teenager from India spent a huge amount of money on the mobile version of PUBG without his parents knowing. Now he has to pay for it by working.

What happened? It is no secret that PUBG Mobile is extremely popular in many countries, including India. There was an incident related to the game’s microtransactions.

Although PUBG Mobile is free to play, players can still spend money on it. And that’s exactly what a teenager from Punjab reportedly did, according to the Indian newspaper The Tribune.

The 17-year-old spent 1.6 million rupees on “cosmetics, artillery, tournament passes, and virtual ammunition,” the newspaper reported. This is equivalent to about $21,500.

How did the boy spend the money? The teenager spent most of the money over the course of a month, managing to keep the expenses secret from his parents for the time being.

The boy explained his excessive phone usage to his parents by saying he was using the smartphone for online courses to learn more during the lockdown. The parents only noticed the expenses when they received the bills at the end of the month.

To cover up the massive expenses, the boy used money from two different accounts and always made only small purchases. According to his parents, he also deleted the notification emails about purchases from their smartphones and moved money between the accounts.

After we received the bank statements and bills, I found out that he had transferred money several times from one account to another to avoid a zero balance.
He had been using his mother’s smartphone for a quite long time, and she wasn’t attentive enough to notice.
Father of the teenager

These are the consequences: According to the parents, the money spent was actually savings that the teenager’s father had set aside. They were meant to cover his medical expenses on one side and to secure the boy’s future on the other.

As a punishment for the fraud, the teenager now has to work in a scooter repair shop.

I can’t just let him sit quietly at home now and I also cannot give him a smartphone anymore, not even for learning. He is now working in a repair shop to understand how hard it is to earn money.
Father of the boy.

PUBG Mobile is extremely popular in India

The popularity of PUBG Mobile in India has caused some commotion in the past. In some parts of India, the game has even been banned as it is considered harmful for children and teenagers because it is addictive and promotes violence.

For some time, some bizarre stories about PUBG Mobile circulated in Indian media, which were supposed to emphasize the dangers of the game.

For example, a teenager reportedly died of a heart attack due to PUBG Mobile
Two other teenagers were hit by a train because they were distracted by PUBG Mobile.
Another was so distracted by PUBG Mobile that he drank acid instead of water.

It is not known whether the teenager will face further consequences for playing the banned game. However, he will be kept busy with his new job in the workshop for the time being.

WoW Shadowlands: Story, Style or Strength – What do you choose for your covenant?

Cortyn 4. July 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In WoW Shadowlands, you all need to choose a covenant. But how do you make your choice? How important are style, story, or character strength to you?

In World of Warcraft Shadowlands, the choice of covenant is a significant and meaningful decision. Characters can join only one covenant at max level. There are four to choose from, and they are the leading factions in the different areas of Shadowlands.

What do covenants offer? Covenants have a fairly broad range of bonuses they provide. Each character gains 2 new abilities – one for all members of the covenant and one for the corresponding class. On top of that, there are “soulbindings”. These are small talent trees with passive additional bonuses. But a covenant has even more to offer.

There is a complete campaign that further elaborates on the covenant’s story and uncovers new, interesting aspects. Additionally, covenants offer a variety of cosmetic rewards. This includes the impressive armor of the covenant as well as cool items like wings and possibly even some mounts.

The choice of covenant is crucial: Once decided on one of the four covenants, this choice cannot easily be changed. While it should be possible to switch covenants if you think you’ve made a big mistake, it comes with some effort. There will likely not be a repeated “back and forth”, so the choice is more or less considered permanent.

Even outside of the covenants, there is a lot of new stuff – like countless new character customizations.

What covenants are there? In total, four different covenants are available in Shadowlands. You will only get to know all covenants during the leveling phase and then have to decide for one of the four at level 60 (the new max level).

Kyrians: You will meet the noble Kyrians in Bastion. These blue, angelic beings stand for order and a regulated, controlled process in the afterlife.
Venthyr: The vampiric Venthyr encounter you in Revendreth. They oversee the “punishment” of souls that are held accountable for their actions.
Nekrolords: You will find the Necrolords in Maldraxxus. They form the armies of the Shadowlands, and only the strongest warriors end up here.
Night Fae: The Night Fae await in Ardenweald and take care of nature spirits that have died in their world.

How do you decide on a covenant?

But we don’t really want to know which of the covenants you choose – rather, we want to know what criteria you use to select your covenant! Are you mainly concerned about the strength of your character? Are you interested in the coolest style items? Or do you even choose the covenant based on the most interesting story?

If you want to justify your answer a bit better, then feel free to leave us a comment and explain how you will find your covenant.

Problems with CoD Modern Warfare: Double XP Event causes frustration instead of joy

Sven Galitzki 4. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Currently, a double XP event is running in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which many players have been looking forward to. However, many players are complaining about significant issues with the experience points. This is causing frustration.

What is the double XP event about? Currently, Season 4 is in full swing in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD Warzone. Just recently, a major mid-season update was released, bringing new content such as the new AMR sniper and a new multiplayer map into the game.

Additionally, one of the most popular playlists in the game has been running since the evening of July 2nd, alongside this, a double XP event is now also happening. Many players wanted to take advantage of this to level up weapons, boost their rank, or complete some tiers in the Battle Pass.

Despite double XP – Frustration prevails for many: Especially in the USA, many were looking forward to the double XP over the weekend. Because there, due to Independence Day celebrations on July 4th, many have a long weekend ahead.

However, so far the double XP event has caused more frustration than joy for many players. Because there are apparently issues and inconsistencies with the XP. There are numerous threads on Reddit where players express their discontent. The most prominent one has already received over 18,000 upvotes and more than 1,300 comments after just about 20 hours.

What exactly are players complaining about? Many complained right after the event started that they felt they were not making as much progress as they usually do on double XP weekends – especially regarding weapon levels and Battle Pass ranks.

Then some players investigated further and found: The XP seems to have been halved (likely unintentionally), and with the double XP modifier, you get as much as you would in regular gameplay.

The interesting thing: while some can substantiate their displeasure with specific numbers and comparisons, it seems that many, but not all players are affected by these issues or only encounter inconsistencies in some areas.

Some say that when it comes to weapon XP, they are making good progress and really getting double the amount, while they are stuck on Battle Pass tiers and vice versa.
Others say that they are overtaking their friends in Battle Pass ranks but are oddly lagging behind in seasonal player level.
Some also report that they receive only regular experience points in some rounds and disproportionately high amounts in others, leading to an impression that the extra XP not credited earlier is being given later in bursts.
And some point out that such events have been having issues with XP distribution for some time.

Meanwhile (since the early morning of July 4th according to German time), some players are reporting that things have normalized for them, meaning they are now receiving the correct amount of XP and that the problem seems to have been fixed. However, there are still players for whom things do not appear to be working smoothly.

7 Legends that could make their way into FIFA 21 Ultimate Team

Max Handwerk 4. July 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

What icons could be new in FIFA 21? We looked closely at 7 legends that we want to see in FIFA 21.

These are icons in FIFA 21: The icons in Ultimate Team are among the best cards ever. These are cards of former football players who have become true legends.

There are always four icon cards per legend that reflect different stages of their careers. They are also extremely useful as they can be linked with all players in Ultimate Team. It’s no wonder that they are extremely expensive at the beginning of the game and only get cheaper later.

In FIFA 20, there were already a lot of very strong icons. Now we turn our attention to the future: Who could be in FIFA 21?

Xavi

That’s why Xavi deserves an icon card in FIFA 21: Xavi shaped the midfield of FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team for years. The conductor in the center significantly contributed to the success of the “Tiki-Taka” playing style.

In 2008 and 2012 he became European Champion with Spain, and in 2010 he won the World Cup. He celebrated victories in the Champions League three times and won the Spanish Championship seven times. In short: Xavi had a true fairy-tale career, and an icon card in FIFA 21 would be more than deserved. The Spaniard ended his career in May 2019 – will it now be revived on the virtual pitch?

Ferenc Puskás

That’s why Puskás deserves an icon card in FIFA 21: At least once a year, the name Puskás goes through the football world: Namely every time the annual Puskás Award for the most beautiful goal of the year is presented.

The fact that the award is named after Ferenc Puskás is no coincidence. He was a true one-man goal factory and scored 84 goals in 85 international matches for the Hungarian national team. By the way, he was also the captain of Hungary’s “Golden Team,” which traveled to the World Cup in 1954 as a favorite and largely lived up to that status – until the final that was to go down in history as the “Miracle of Bern”.

reddit user wadelaw had an idea of what an icon card for Puskás could look like

As an icon, he would still be suitable in FIFA 21 – and is also among the fans. In a fan voting on the site “fifauteam“, which icons must be in FIFA 21, Puskás takes first place. Directly followed by:

David Beckham

That’s why Beckham deserves an icon card in FIFA 21: The term “icon” might even suit David Beckham better than other football legends. The Englishman developed into a magnificent footballer and became a real global star.

After starting at Manchester United, Beckham traveled the football world, playing in Madrid, Los Angeles, Milan, and Paris. Above all, he enchanted fans around the world with his incomparable free kicks.

Francesco Totti

That’s why Totti deserves an icon card in FIFA 21: Francesco Totti is also among a number of legends that fans have wanted to see in the game for a long time, yet he is still not available as an icon. Will that change in FIFA 21?

He would definitely deserve an icon card, as Totti became a true legend in Italy. He spent his entire active career without interruption at AS Roma, wearing the club’s jersey in 785 matches and scoring 307 goals. He never changed clubs as a player – an absolute rarity in modern football.

The only other team he played for was the Italian national team. There he scored 9 goals in 59 matches and became world champion at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

John Terry

That’s why Terry deserves an icon card in FIFA 21: When looking at the current squad of icons, you’ll find some legends of Chelsea FC in FIFA 20. Last year, Michael Essien and Didier Drogba joined the ranks, and Frank Lampard had already received an icon card before that. Another player who shaped the Blues’ game wouldn’t be surprising.

John Terry could definitely be an option for the icons in FIFA 21. The center-back led Chelsea FC as captain to five championships and several cup victories. He also won the Europa League and the Champions League – his trophy cabinet is well filled. He was last playable in Ultimate Team in FIFA 18. Will he return in FIFA 21?

Oliver Kahn

That’s why Kahn deserves an icon card in FIFA 21: There is no doubt that Oliver Kahn deserves an icon card. Fans have been wishing for him to be an icon in FIFA for years; the goalkeeping titan is considered one of the best keepers of all time. His national teammate Lehmann has been in the game for a long time – so why is the Bayern legend still missing?

The problem: There is not too much hope for a Kahn card this year either. The goalkeeper and EA Sports were in a legal dispute over Kahn’s personality rights in the early 2000s. It may be that Kahn’s previous absence can be explained by this – but one can still hope!

By the way, when Ultimate Team was first introduced in FIFA 09, Kahn had already ended his career. Therefore, there is also no classic card we could show you.

Phillip Lahm

That’s why Lahm deserves an icon card in FIFA 21: Lothar Matthäus, Miroslav Klose, Michael Ballack, Jens Lehmann – these are the four German icons currently represented in FIFA 20. There are many players who could be considered to expand this list. Players like Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, or the aforementioned Kahn come to mind quickly.

Looking back in recent history, there are also a few candidates. Philipp Lahm would be one such candidate: The 2014 World Champion acted as one of the best right-backs in the world at Bayern Munich for many years, later he also excelled in midfield. Lahm experienced many great moments in his career, such as in 2006 when he scored the first goal of the 2006 World Cup and initiated the “Summer Fairy Tale.” Eight years later, he became world champion – and would be more than worthy of an icon card in FIFA 21.

This list could be continued indefinitely – after all, there are plenty of legends in world football. However, at the very beginning of their careers are these talents, who could also get good cards in FIFA 21.

Valorant – All new agents so far and which ones are still to come

Jürgen Horn 4. July 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Valorant there are supposed to be 6 new agents released per year according to the official roadmap. This is why we at MeinMMO would like to present to you the already published heroes and information about upcoming champions.

This is how the Valorant roadmap works: On June 29, 2020, Executive Producer Anna Donlon stated on Twitter how they envision the roadmap for the development of Valorant at Riot Games. Valorant is supposed to bring two episodes each year. Within these, the previously little-known story of the game will be explained and continued gradually.

Each episode is to be divided into three acts. Essentially, these are seasons, but Anna Donlon indicated that the term season could mean anything and that using the term “act” would be clearer.

Each act lasts about two months, and according to the roadmap, a new agent should be introduced with each act. Thus, with two episodes each containing three acts, we would have a total of six (!) new heroes per year. But what do we already know about future champions and which new agents are already in the game?

The latest agents in Valorant:

Demolitionist Raze joined the game on April 7, 2020, just in time for the beta launch.
The vampire lady Reyna joined the game’s release on June 2, 2020 in the agents’ selection.
After a long guessing game and data mining, on August 4, 2020, the German engineer Killjoy entered the game as the 12th heroine.

This article from July 4, 2020, was revised on August 18, 2020, concerning the latest information.

Information about upcoming agents in Valorant – Is Bombshell still coming?

What is the name of the next hero? According to data mining, there are already concrete voice lines for an agent named “Bombshell” in the game. It is quite possible that he will be next.

What does the new agent look like? We do not know much about this yet. There is only a big question mark regarding the new hero. However, if the Bombshell quotes are accurate, then the new agent could be very small. The other agents are actually making fun of this. Since hitboxes in Valorant are all the same size, Bombshell might be wearing a mechanical suit to match the same size.

What can the new agent do? Unfortunately, we have no hints yet. If the name Bombshell is correct, then it might be a character with explosive abilities, similar to Raze, an option.

When can we expect a new champion? According to Anna Donlon, a new agent should come every 2 months. Since Reyna came on June 2 and Killjoy on August 4, the 13th agent should arrive by early October.

You can find a classification of the previous heroes in a tier list here.

Valorant Tier List: Which agent is the best?

von Jürgen Horn

These heroes are already available

In addition to the upcoming new additions, there are also the following new agents in the game:

This is Raze: The Brazilian demolitionist Raze is one of the strongest offensive agents in the game. Her skills are fully geared towards damage and kills. She throws grenades, sets explosive charges, and uses a targeting robot that explodes. As her ultimate, she has a rocket that is outright hated by some players because it takes out entire teams. However, Raze’s abilities have been nerfed multiple times and are now announced audibly.

This is Reyna: Reyna is an agent for professionals. Almost all of the Mexican’s skills require a kill of her own. Assists do not count explicitly! However, when you kill an opponent, you can consume their souls to heal Reyna or allow her to dash away quickly. Additionally, she can blind opponents and become the “Empress” as her ultimate. Then she is almost unstoppable as long as she gets enough kills.

This is Killjoy: The German engineer Killjoy relies on technical gadgets to dominate the playing field. She is a mix of reconnaissance and defense. Her alarm bot secures areas, and the automatic turret shoots opponents automatically. Especially when Killjoy is supported by the utilities of other players, the turret is dangerous. Additionally, she can throw grenades and, with her ultimate, literally disarm entire groups of opponents.
