FIFA 21: Ultimate Edition is finally worthwhile for career mode fans

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 6 minutes

You can now pre-order the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 21 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This special edition also includes benefits for career mode fans – and not just FUT bonuses like in previous years. There is also time-limited content in the 2020 version.

This is the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 21: EA Sports is offering this year’s FIFA installment in three editions that differ in price and content. So there is

  • the Standard Edition for €59.99 (PC), €69.99 (PS4, Xbox One)
  • the Champions Edition for €79.99 (PC), €89.99 (PS4, Xbox One)
  • and the Ultimate Edition for €89.99 (PC), €99.99 (PS4, Xbox One)

The Ultimate Edition is thus the most expensive version of FIFA 21, which essentially includes all bonuses from the cheaper editions and also grants additional bonuses. Since it costs nearly €100 for the consoles, many players are currently asking: “Is the Ultimate Edition really worth it for me?”

Overview of the FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition:

  • Release: October 6, 2020
  • Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Steam, Origin)
  • Price: €89.99 (PC), €99.99 (PS4, Xbox One)
  • What about PS5, Xbox Series X? When FIFA 21 will be released on the next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X is still unknown. However, if you buy FIFA 21 for PS4 or Xbox One, you will receive the corresponding next-gen version at no additional cost.

All pre-order benefits of the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 21 for FUT and Career

We will now take a detailed look at all the benefits of the Ultimate Edition and give an assessment of whether they are worth the €100. If you’re looking for a quick overview of all editions of FIFA 21, you can find them here.

This is what the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 21 offers:

  • 3 days early access
  • Career mode youth talent from the own youth with world-class potential
  • Up to 24 Rare Gold FUT 21 Packs
  • 1 Cover star FUT loan item for 5 FUT matches
  • 1 FUT Ambassador loan player choice
  • Special edition FUT jerseys and stadium items
  • Time-limited offer: OTW card for FUT 21 (untradeable)

FIFA 21 with Early Access – You play the game as one of the first

This is the advantage: FIFA 21 actually has its global release on October 9. However, with the Ultimate Edition, you can start 3 days earlier. The early access for FIFA 21 is October 6, 2020.

Is it worth it for me? The 3-day early access plays an important role for many FIFA fans. It is considered a major argument for why players choose a special edition of the annual football simulation.

Most fans are concerned about not falling behind other players in Ultimate Team mode right from the start. Especially at the beginning of FUT 21, it’s crucial to quickly build a competitive team to be able to compete in the online modes. You don’t want to watch others as they build their ultimate teams while you still have to wait 3 days. For this early start alone, many fans are willing to pay the extra cost – the remaining bonuses are just a side note for them.

However, the Champions Edition also allows you early access. And it is €10 cheaper than the Ultimate Edition. Therefore, additional arguments are still needed for the most expensive version to be convincing.

Career mode youth talent with great potential

This is the advantage: You get a “youth talent from the own youth with world-class potential” for FIFA 21’s career mode.

This means: When you select your first club in FIFA 21 career mode that you want to manage, you receive the youth talent for that club. The talent is supposed to be a “local youngster” – meaning the player’s nationality matches the country of the league you manage your team in.

EA Sports states that this bonus in the form of a local youth player applies to every save file you create on your profile. It will also transfer from PS4 to PS5 and from Xbox One to Xbox Series X.

fifa 20 karrieremodus

This is what makes this bonus special: In recent years, as with FIFA 20 and FIFA 19, special editions only offered bonuses for FUT. In FIFA 21, career mode fans finally have a benefit when purchasing a special edition.

It might indicate that EA Sports is giving more attention to the career mode this year – something fans have been demanding for years.

Is it worth it for me? If you don’t play career mode, this youth talent doesn’t benefit you at all. Otherwise, this bonus should be a nice and welcome surprise. After all, for many fans, the career experience is about training young talents, realizing their potential, and transforming them into world-class players.

However, keep in mind that you also receive the youth player with the Champions Edition. If you exclusively play career mode, you can save the extra €10 for the Ultimate Edition. The Standard Version does not offer this bonus.

24 Rare Gold Packs in FUT 21

This is the advantage: Only with the Ultimate Edition do you receive 12 weeks of 2 Rare Gold Packs each week as a pre-order bonus. In total, that’s 24 extra packs.

  • With the Champions Edition, you receive half as many Rare Gold Packs, so 12
  • With the Standard Edition, you receive 3 Rare Gold Packs

Is it worth it for me? If you spend €10 more, you get 12 Rare Gold Packs more compared to the Champions Edition. One of these packs usually costs 25,000 coins or 500 FIFA Points. This means you’re getting packs worth 6000 FIFA Points (12 x 500).

6000 FIFA Points correspond to around €50 (100 FIFA Points cost €0.99, but there are several bundles with bonus FIFA Points. 12,000 FIFA Points cost €99.99).

If you’re already willing to invest additional money into FUT 21, the Ultimate Edition is definitely worth it price-wise. However, keep in mind that you cannot open all 24 extra packs at once, but only two per week.

More FUT bonuses in FIFA 21

This is the time-limited offer: If you pre-order the Ultimate Edition by August 14, 2020, you will receive an untradeable OTW player for FUT 21. The offer is time-limited and applies solely to the Ultimate Edition. OTW stands for “Ones to Watch” and describes dynamic player cards that can automatically improve throughout the season – provided the player performs well in real football.

fifa 21 otw

This is the Cover Star FUT loan item: You will receive a cover star loan item for 5 FUT matches. EA Sports states that they will reveal the new cover stars in the coming weeks, but they are expected to provide a significant boost for your FUT clubs. All pre-orderers of any FIFA 21 edition will receive a loan player.

This is the FUT Ambassador player choice: You can choose one from three player items for 3 FUT matches. These are the “FUT Ambassadors,” with which EA Sports will promote FUT 21. Which players these are will be announced later. All pre-orderers of any FIFA 21 edition will receive this bonus.

This is the jerseys and stadium items: A few cosmetic items for FUT 21 will be received by all pre-orderers of any FIFA 21 edition.

Is it worth it for me? The OTW cards are highly sought after by many FUT players. However, you need a lot of luck to really pull a good and usable OTW card. Because which one you get depends on chance. And since the OTW card from the pre-order bonus is untradeable, you cannot sell it for a lot of coins.

The remaining FUT 21 bonuses are “nice to have,” but not a purchasing argument for the Ultimate Edition.

Buy Ultimate Edition – Yes or No?

Get the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 21 if you …

  • definitely want to kick off on October 6
  • clearly focus on FUT 21 and want every advantage you can get
  • are willing to invest additional money in FUT 21
  • can log in regularly to FUT 21 to claim the weekly bonuses
  • also want a nice bonus in career mode
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Save the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 21 if you …

  • have no problem starting later than other players in FIFA 21
  • play FUT 21 only occasionally or not at all
  • can do without a guaranteed youth player with great potential in career mode

Then you will come away much cheaper with the Standard Edition. However, if you definitely want the career mode bonus, but are less interested in FUT 21, you might be better off with the Champions Edition.

Diablo 3 is now giving you disgusting wings for doing nothing – Grab them

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 3 you can now get a pair of wings for free. They are being given away for the 20th anniversary of Diablo 2.

What kind of wings are these? For the 20th anniversary of Diablo 2, Blizzard has some surprises for fans of the hack-and-slash genre. The “Wings of the Prime Evil.” These are available to you completely free, just in time for the start of Season 21 in Diablo 3.

How do you get the wings? All you have to do for the gift is log in to Diablo 3. It seems that there is no time limit. As soon as you log in to Diablo 3 after June 29, 2020, you can claim the wings as your own. You will receive confirmation as a popup in the interface as soon as you join a game.

Then click F1 or open the menu of your collection on PS4/Xbox One or Switch. You should find the gift right in the first place under the wings.

Diablo 3 Wings of the Prime Evil

Blizzard says: “If you log in to Diablo III after June 29, you will receive your own pair of Wings of the Prime Evil, allowing you to proudly display the legacy that you forged atop the summit of Arreat. Baal – as we know him from Diablo II – didn’t have wings, but just imagine how they would have looked, and how stylish they would be on your hero!”

What do the wings look like?

The look in the game: You can already get a glimpse of the new cosmetic item on the YouTube channel of Bozhidar Todorov.

They are gruesome, sharp-looking vines growing from your champion’s back. And they are animated.

What else is there for the 20th anniversary?

Special content for the anniversary: To celebrate the anniversary, Blizzard has come up with some cool things.

From Carbot Studios, you can see a funny video titled “Baal Runz 101.” It shows a rather accurate representation of the fight against the Lord of Destruction.

Diablo 3 Bust Figure Blizzard Shop

You can find the piece here at Blizzardgearstore.com

If you want to showcase your love for Diablo in your home, you can purchase the limited “Bust of the Lord of Terror.” The piece is 23 cm wide, about 18 cm deep, and nearly 27 cm tall.

With the new wings in Diablo 3, you can also equip your character for Season 21, which starts this week. With a new set, the Demon Hunter is now going from one of the worst classes to the top class.

Borderlands 3: All 213 Legendary Weapons with Locations – List

Larissa Then Larissa Then Reading time 10 minutes

We have created a list of all legendary weapons in Borderlands 3 and summarized what is known about them so far. This includes the brand, the weapon type, and where you can get them.

Attention: This list is continuously being updated. Information about new weapons will be added as soon as it becomes available.

Missing information and German terms will also be supplemented as quickly as possible.

What does this list include? The following list summarizes all weapons of the highest rarity. It is organized by the 9 weapon manufacturers of Borderlands 3. You will also see which weapon types they belong to and where you can get them. The values of the weapons are often random and depend on your level.

Update, June 29, 2020: We have added more weapons to the list. New legendary weapons have been included as a result of events and the new “Blood Money” DLC.

Previously, new legendary loot was introduced with Maliwan Takedown in the game. The major November patch brought specific loot pools for bosses. As far as it is known which boss drops which weapon, this is indicated under “Origin.” The list will also be continuously updated in this regard.

What do the words mean in “Origin”?

  • Worlddrop: Loot can drop randomly. Most of the weapons have been farmed from the boss Graveward. However, it is also possible from the slot machine.
  • VIP: Such weapons could be obtained via VIP points on the Borderlands homepage.
  • Quest: Here you receive the weapons through tasks. Sometimes, rare opponents are also part of these missions.

How many legendary weapons are in Borderlands 3? So far, fans have found 213 legendary weapons. However, it is to be expected that new ones will continuously be discovered and added here.

CoD Warzone: 3 tricks that significantly improve your chances of revival

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

Just because you’re down in Call of Duty: Warzone doesn’t mean the round is over for you. MeinMMO shows you some hot tricks to significantly increase your chances of being revived.

What are those tricks? If you take a sniper headshot or lose a firefight in Call of Duty: Warzone, you enter the K.O. phase. At least if one of your teammates is still standing or there are self-revive kits available in the team.

If you’re “down” and the enemy doesn’t send you directly to the Gulag or the observation screen, your chances of being revived are often quite good. How you can further improve your chances has been explained by YouTuber and CoD expert “TheXclusiveAce” in one of his English videos:

Link to the YouTube content

The video was actually created because he often got asked how much health you actually have when you’re down. Additionally, he provided some tips around reviving, which we will list for you here.

Tricks for the K.O. Phase in the Warzone

What is there to know about the K.O. phase? If you’re K.O., you can’t shoot anymore, but you can crawl. If the enemy doesn’t finish you off right away, try to get to cover quickly. Here are some important facts about the K.O. phase:

  • You have 200 health
  • Your health decreases by 4 every second
  • It takes 50 seconds until your time runs out
  • If you’re crawling, you don’t lose any health

You have as much health in K.O. as with 2 armor plates. The opponent has to pump a lot of bullets into you before you are completely out. This often gives you the chance to get back on your feet and start a revenge quest. With the following tips, you’ll be able to do that even better.

Tip 1 – Survive Longer and Save Self-Revive

For this trick, you need a revive kit. The mobile medic box is considered one of the most important items in the Warzone and has a lot more to offer than just self-reviving.

If you use the syringe while lying on the ground, it stops your K.O. countdown. If you release the button, the countdown continues and the progress for a successful revival decreases. You can use this to drastically increase your K.O. time to over 75 seconds.

If one of your teammates is on the way to you, you extend your “down time” this way. This might save a revive kit, which is otherwise only available at buy stations for $4,500, and later you have another chance for revival.

Revive self-revive cod call-of-duty-warzone
Self-revive is an important item in the Warzone and really strong.

Tip 2 – Prepare for Reviving

Another trick with the revive kit. If you have one of the medical bags in your pocket, you can increase the progress for your revival without losing the kit.

If a teammate is nearby but still busy engaging the enemies, you can almost fill your bar and your buddy just needs to help you up for a moment.

This way, you also save a revive kit, which makes more sense to use in a later situation when no friend is nearby.

Tip 3 – Move Properly in the K.O. Phase

This tip is especially important if a sniper has taken you out. A headshot is enough to get you shot out of the match in the K.O. phase with the best sniper rifles of the Warzone. However, if the snipers only hit your chest or limbs, you need 3 shots with the 200 K.O. health, which can take some time given the slow fire rate of the larger rifles.

So don’t crawl directly to the cover, but move your crosshair left and right while doing so. Your body moves on an axis around your waist area, which causes your head to wobble unpredictably.

If the snipers go for the headshot, it becomes extremely difficult for them to land that last shot, and they might not hit you at all.

cod warzone soldier weapon title
Often enemies finish you off directly. If they don’t, you still have a good chance.

Besides pure aiming, tactics, map knowledge, and understanding the small mechanics of the game are important elements for a successful strategy in the Warzone. For example, you can acquire recon drones with a long duration. There’s also much to know about gas and the closing of the circle.

The choice of the right weapon also makes a big difference, and you unlock some of the strongest weapons through challenges. Don’t forget these missions and unlock the 12 weapons you won’t unlock through level-ups – especially the assault rifles are worth it.

GTA Online closes strong money glitch – But players already find new way

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

With a money glitch in GTA Online, some players got rich. The method was active for weeks. Then Rockstar took the method down. However, it took only a few hours for a workaround to be found.

What did Rockstar Games do? As GTA insider Tez2 explained on Saturday, June 27, Rockstar Games shortly before removed two glitches from the game:

  • One glitch made players invulnerable, putting them in God mode.
  • The other glitch gave players a lot of money in the online world.

For weeks, the money glitch was a topic in the GTA Online community and was reportedly used diligently by players to fill their accounts.

On the night of Saturday, this glitch was seemingly fixed – at least at first glance. In the thread on reddit, players wrote that since June 26, nothing was working anymore and they were receiving an error message.

But only a few hours later, players reported back: They had found a workaround.

What is this money exploit?

This is the function: Players switched between their online characters in such a way that they could duplicate money.

To do this, they disconnected their internet connection at a very specific point in this process, as is common with many glitches. There are about 8 more steps that need to be performed to make money with the glitch.

GTA Online Michael Money Title

If this glitch is executed correctly, it quickly fills the online character’s account with substantial millions.

We at MeinMMO refrain from providing you with a detailed guide on how to recreate the glitch. Because there is already a workaround to continue the method.

After a few hours, the glitch works again, just a bit differently

What happened next? Just a few hours after it became known that the glitch was removed from the game, workarounds were already circulating in the glitch community. They now explain how to proceed after the “fix” and are diligently duplicating money.

GTA Online Money Glitch Workaround
On reddit, the workaround is now the hot topic

A similar story occurred almost a year ago when the casino opened in GTA Online. There was a horse racing glitch where players earned millions. Rockstar just could not get a handle on the money glitch with horse racing.

Money glitches in GTA Online – What’s going on?

This is the story: In recent years, since the release of GTA Online, money glitches have been repeatedly circulating. Players find ways that are not wanted by Rockstar Games to quickly generate money.

Such glitches and exploits are therefore always a part of GTA Online.

But the developers crack down on such violations: The people who exploited the chip glitch in the casino faced severe punishments.

Now it remains to be seen how long the workaround of the current money glitch stays in the game and whether Rockstar will find a solution against it as well.

We advise against trying to scam money in GTA Online with money glitches. Your entire account is at stake.

Instead, use these 12 ways to earn money quickly in GTA Online in 2020. This way you can legally fill your account.

Are shroud, Ninja, and Dr Disrespect opening their own Twitch with Brime?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

In the world of streaming services, there might be an uproar now. After the end of Mixer, streamers Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Michael “shroud” Grzesiek are free. Following their exit from Twitch, Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm also finds himself without a platform. Enter a new streaming service called “Brime.”

These are the 3 free streaming stars: Currently, 3 of the biggest streamers in the world are without a streaming platform. All three have built huge channels on Twitch and have a large following and relevance in gaming:

  • Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has 14,713,963 million followers on Twitch. That is by far the largest channel. The “guy with the funny hair” became popular through Fortnite in 2018 and is a business person who sees himself as a major brand. He wants to be like the “David Beckham of gaming”
Fortnite-Ninja-David-Beckham-1140x445
Ninja wants to become the star of gaming.
  • Michael “shroud” Grzesiek has 7,069,584 followers on Twitch. He is regarded as “THE serious shooter player” with high skill. People watch him for his gameplay and calm demeanor. He has dominated games like Apex Legends and Escape from Tarkov on Twitch.
  • Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm has 4,450,718 followers on Twitch. He is the entertainer on the platform, a character with a huge mustache and an even bigger ego. He entertains mainly with high production values, creative ideas, and a charisma that cannot be denied. And he is a decent player in games like Call of Duty: Warzone.
DrDisrespect Title
After a ban, he is currently the big mystery in gaming.

The 3 faces of Twitch are currently free

This is their current status: Ninja and shroud have been without a streaming platform since the end of Mixer. They allegedly rejected an outstandingly good offer to stream on Facebook.

Both are represented by the agency Loaded, the most powerful agency a streamer can belong to.

Dr Disrespect has been free since a mysterious ban on Twitch. No one knows what lies behind the ban. Because he had actually signed a multi-year contract with Twitch and considered himself the “face of the platform.”

Ironically, the 3 are the “most recognizable faces of Twitch” of the last 3 years:

  • Dr Disrespect dominated 2017 with PUBG
  • Ninja 2018 with Fortnite
  • shroud 2019 with Apex Legends – although to a lesser extent

None of the three streamers currently have a clear status or talk about what they plan to do next.

This is the conspiracy theory about “Brime.”

Spotify is allegedly behind the 3

This is what a rumor says: A strange theory has appeared on the site 4chan. It suggests that Google wants to build competition to Twitch through the streaming service “Spotify.” For this, they have contacted players Dr Disrespect, shroud, and Ninja.

Dr Disrespect would have contacted several streamers from Twitch and tried to lure them away. Twitch found out and fired him.

No one is supposed to talk about the deal yet. Twitch is trying to prevent that. The information will be announced on Monday.

https://twitter.com/WatchBrime/status/1275906227021611008

What is Brime?

What does this have to do with Brime? There is a Twitter account called “Watch Brime.” It claims about itself: It is a new streaming service. They plan to change the name later.

This account follows only 15 people, including Ninja, Dr Disrespect, and shroud. However, it does not follow any of the other top streamers from Twitch like Tfue, Myth, or TimTheTatman, but rather other people like Ewok, DrLupo, or the Destiny streamer Gladd.

This account wants to announce something new on Monday, June 29, today. This would coincide with the theory that this “Brime” is the new service of shroud, Ninja, and Dr Disrespect.

What argues against the theory: First of all, Spotify does not belong to Google.

On the other hand, Brime itself says: They do not belong to Spotify. And they say: Just because they follow people, that does not have to mean anything.

Furthermore, they claim to have only 4 employees, want to grow organically, and are amazed by this attention.

https://twitter.com/WatchBrime/status/1277447216865501184

Moreover, it would likely have become known if Dr Disrespect had randomly approached several people on Twitch, telling them they should switch. Especially since Dr Disrespect is contractually bound to Twitch.

That shroud and Ninja, after the experience with Mixer, would now build their own platform and then want to stream to even fewer viewers seems unlikely. They could have also taken the money and gone to Facebook.

In any case, one should be curious about what will be announced at “Brime” this evening and what will happen there. Ultimately, the more interesting question is what the 3 huge streamers are currently planning and where they see their future.

von Schuhmann

This is the logical but boring explanation: Currently, it seems more like a coincidence that “Brime” is suddenly hyped.

It could just be a small project that is getting much more attention than initially thought due to the strange situation with the 3 “free giant streamers.”

We will learn more throughout the day.

The streaming world is currently in uproar.

The streaming world is currently in uproar and there is a lot in motion. This is also due to Microsoft shutting down their Twitch rival Mixer. This was a blessing for big stars like Ninja and shroud, but for some smaller streamers on Mixer, a world collapsed.

While Ninja and shroud cash in, small Mixer streamers are completely devastated

The Cycle is the shooter you don’t know you want yet

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 11 minutes

Genre: Shooter | Developer: Yager| Platform: PC (Epic Game Store)|Model: Free-to-play | Link: The Cycle on the Epic Games Store |Release: pending | Season 3: July 8, 2020

The science fiction shooter The Cycle is like Battle Royale meets the shooter Destiny 2. Currently, The Cycle is still in Early Access but is making significant progress. Two employees from the German developer Yager explain to MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus about the game and its future.

The Cycle was announced back in 2018 but has since received little media attention. However, it has been known since its announcement that The Cycle aims to be a unique mix of PvE and PvP, a kind of battle royale with special features.

Since Gamescom 2019, The Cycle has been playable in free Early Access, which you can easily download via the Epic Games Launcher on PC.

As part of “Find Your Next Game“, I joined the developers for some rounds of the sci-fi shooter. My colleague Christian Fritz Schneider from GameStar YouTube was also there.

In the process, I, as a complete newbie, got to know The Cycle, as well as being one of the first to see and play the new features of the upcoming Season 3. I also took the opportunity to extract some information from the developers regarding the future and development of the game.

What is The Cycle? The Cycle can broadly be described as a battle royale with a strong PvE focus. It is a kind of PvEvP. The goal of the game is to be at the top of the score list at the end of the round, but you do not simply need to shoot down all opponents.

Instead, you complete tasks that appear in the world. With your “Prospectors”, as the characters in the game are called, you collect crystals, fight against aggressive species on the planet, or collect specific items to secure points. You play in groups of four players, in duos, or solo with a total of 20 players in the lobby.

If you encounter opponents, you can kill them, but you don’t have to. It’s also possible to form alliances with opponents and break them again. After a “death”, the player can re-enter the game and get a second chance – they are not truly killed but sent back to the ship. Only upon their second “death” are they permanently out.

At the end, a storm closes in, harming all players within it, with a rescue ship waiting in its center. At least one player from the team must reach the rescue ship for the points to count.

The German YouTuber HandOfBlood shows a bit of gameplay from The Cycle.

The Cycle played – Battle Royale differently

This is how a round goes: Before our first match, my more experienced teammates explain to me that we do not drop onto the map like in a battle royale. Instead, we land, like all other teams, at the edge of the map.

The flow of a round always follows a roughly similar structure:

  • Complete tasks to earn points
  • Kill NPC opponents or open chests to gain currency
  • Buy new weapons that can be obtained at any time from a shop
  • Kill opponents, as long as they are in the way
  • At the end of the match, reach the rescue ship and escape

There is no ever-closing circle. Instead, there is a time limit of 20 minutes, during which a storm grows and creatures become more aggressive and stronger. In the end, the storm becomes so strong that you can only survive for a few seconds. Then it’s time to reach the rescue ship and flee.

Opponents do not necessarily have to be killed. Especially towards the end, it can even be useful to work together with them to clear the landing zone. In solo mode, you can form pacts with others if they agree. To me, it sounds similar to the idea of Scavengers – only that The Cycle is already playable for free.

What makes the game special? The rounds and the special events and tasks that must be completed distinguish The Cycle from genre representatives. Even before a round, you can see in the station what type of task is active. There are various tasks, ranging from simple monster hunting and collecting items, to holding specific points, to rescuing drones.

  • The Cycle FYNG Season 3 MeinMMO Kristall Contract
    One of the possible tasks: Collecting crystals
  • The Cycle FYNG Season 3 MeinMMO Anlage Contract
    One of the possible tasks: Charging stations
  • The Cycle FYNG Season 3 MeinMMO Map
    The map shows available tasks
  • The Cycle FYNG Season 3 MeinMMO Station vor dem Start Aufträge
    Which four tasks are active, you can see even before the match starts
  • The Cycle FYNG Season 3 MeinMMO End Screen
    A breakdown at the end of the match

There are many tasks that favor PvE and some that are specifically conflict-oriented. The conflict tasks are usually events where it is displayed on the entire map that a team is currently completing and where it is taking place. Other players then have the opportunity to disrupt this team and take the points for themselves.

Additionally, you can purchase weapons from a shop that can be called up at any time during the game. You prepare your loadout in the station with weapons, abilities, and suits that you can buy from three different reputation factions and then upgrade with mods. For weapon builders and anyone who enjoys taking their own creations into the field, it’s an ideal feature – almost as exciting as the gunsmith in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Aside from the fact that everyone starts with the same conditions and it’s about who is the last one to win, The Cycle really doesn’t have much in common with battle royale.

The gameplay principle of The Cycle takes elements from various genres and combines them into something completely new. Something that I personally didn’t know I would enjoy so much. This system leads to players who think they wouldn’t like the game finding it pretty cool. Florian tells me this in an anecdote:

At the fairs we attended, whether at Gamescom or at MAG in Erfurt, we had many people say: “Oh no, that’s not my type of game, but… I’ll give it a try anyway!” They were then totally excited about the approach that they could say: “We focus on PvE, gather as many points as we can, and then disappear again.” That’s part of our player base that doesn’t want hardcore gaming.

  • The Cycle FYNG Season 3 MeinMMO Florian Rohde

Season 3 brings more features, even from Destiny 2

The main reason the developers invited us from MeinMMO to play is the upcoming Season 3. This is expected to start on July 8, 2020, with update 16. While playing, I was the first to see some of the new features. They enhance the gameplay of The Cycle in many areas, but completely change it in others.

The tests for Season 3 are currently under an NDA. We have received exclusive early insights in Germany. Therefore, here you see images of the new season and the features that The Cycle will receive.

With the launch of Season 3, players in the Epic Games Store will also receive a free bundle of cosmetics. Anyone who wants to start or who is already playing should take advantage of that.

The Cycle receives a social hub with Season 3, the station

These are the new features: The biggest new feature with Season 3 is the station, where you hang out when you are not in a match. Up until now, the station has simply been a menu. With Season 3 it will become a real social hub – like the Tower in Destiny 2.

There, you can meet other players, buy new weapons, customize your loadout, or just spend some time in the bar and look for interesting places and Easter eggs.

Another significant adjustment is the elimination of crafting materials. Previously, you needed to bring certain resources from a match to unlock your weapons and mods. Starting with Season 3, there will simply be a single currency, which is intended to ease the entry significantly.

In the rounds themselves, there is a new task: a moving train. This train travels across the map and can be taken by players. As long as you own it, it passively earns you points, and you don’t have to pay attention to it. However, opponents can steal it from you at any time. This creates a new dynamic over whether to protect the train and ignore other tasks or to take the risk that others might take the train from you.

Preliminary patch notes for Season 3 show exciting changes

Overall, there are supposed to be several pages of changes and fixes. I have summarized some of the most important additional changes here:

  • All weapons and mods have been adjusted; gunplay has been overhauled
  • Anyone who dies can now repeat their “Recall Beacon” from the place of their death to regain their entry
  • The queues will get “skill-based matchmaking” (SBMM)
  • A new battle pass with new prospectors
  • An “invite-only” game mode for tournaments – for the esports community
  • The ping system will be contextual, like the highly praised system from Apex Legends
  • The Cycle FYNG Season 3 MeinMMO Loadout Primetime

  • The Cycle FYNG Season 3 MeinMMO Ronin
    The new prospector Ronin
  • The Cycle FYNG Season 3 MeinMMO Primetime
    The new prospector Primetime

How good are the changes? I only really started playing The Cycle after testing Season 3. However, my impression is that the game is becoming significantly more enjoyable and polished with the new features.

The overview with the individual places in the station is improved, and the huge collection of dozens of different materials is replaced by a single currency. For newcomers, Season 3 is ideal.

Some of the changes, however, are more of a “nice to have” – like SBMM or the new mode for the community. However, these are things that players have been very eager for, as Florian and Lena tell me.

Steam, PS4, Xbox One? The future of The Cycle

What features are still coming? Some of the features originally planned for Season 3 had to be scrapped for now. However, they are expected to come later, likely by the end of July. These include:

  • A 10vs10 player mode
  • Statistics and achievements for players, such as a statistic about kills with certain weapons
  • A new career, the “Prospector Levels”, to have progress with the entire account

Additionally, The Cycle is expected to receive several limited-time events with special event modes, like egg collecting at Easter. This will keep the game fresh in the long run.

The material now being removed from the game with Season 3 could also return in the future – for example, to craft legendary weapons. The game’s story will also receive additional missions to draw you deeper into the narrative.

After Season 3, The Cycle will get a third map and new weapons. However, Florian and Lena couldn’t tell me when exactly that would be.

von Schuhmann

When is the release of The Cycle? So far, there is no specific date for the release. Florian and Lena explain that this depends a bit on how well the bug fixes are progressing.

In the course of 2020, the exclusivity contract with Epic will also expire. When asked whether the release of The Cycle coincides with a release on Steam, both laugh and respond, “Possible.”

What about PlayStation and Xbox? The focus of The Cycle is currently fully on PC. However, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are “interesting” for the developers. If or when this gets underway, versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X would be “a good plan.”

Who is The Cycle suitable for?

Anyone who has any interest in shooters should take a look at The Cycle – even if they think this type of game wouldn’t appeal to them. The unique concept offers a way for almost every type of shooter player to enjoy the game.

  • Do you just want to collect points? Complete tasks and avoid contact with other players – you can almost always escape.
  • Are you into PvP? Target your opponents and eliminate the squads in front of you.
  • Do you like tactical gameplay? Choose the tasks that cause conflicts and collect points with them, or split up to do more tasks simultaneously.

The system that The Cycle follows is quite frustration-free. Since you at least receive some reward even if you don’t make it out alive, a defeat is easy to bear. In the worst case, it’s even enough for one person in the team to escape to secure the points for everyone.

And since there are many PvE activities and the TTK is relatively high, conflicts are manageable, and a fight doesn’t lead to me quickly tossing the mouse away in annoyance. I am usually a rather competitive player and tend to get a bit tilted when I fail in other shooters. The Cycle is significantly more relaxed.

The fusion of PvE and PvP in The Cycle has been remarkably successful. So successful that I hope more games will orient themselves to this system and that more ideas will come up.

However, anyone who already knows that they only enjoy realistic hardcore shooters or who generally can’t get into shooter games, won’t find The Cycle to be for them either.

I expected Battle Royale and got something much better

The Cycle attracts with a system that everyone knows since Fortnite and does everything differently than one would expect.

The PvE content that is essential for a victory loosens up the system of fighting to the last man. It ensures that the now almost overused battle royale elements are broken up. Meanwhile, the content remains varied and challenging – in our rounds, we even died a couple of times from NPCs. Moreover, there’s always the danger that other players might ambush your team.

Everyone starts with the same conditions, and at the end of a round, it’s still about having the most points and surviving. The path to get there, however, is entirely different than in PUBG, Fortnite, or Warzone.

This makes The Cycle interesting for anyone who enjoys competitive shooters and wants to match up against others without being seemingly hopeless if they land without gear. Instead, there’s even the opportunity for teamwork – or for heated battles over the last points you need for victory.

I have only played a few hours so far, but I see the potential that this genre could engage me more than other sub-genres of shooters. With Scavengers already in development, which follows a similar approach, I hope for a potential new trend after Battle Royale. Perhaps The Cycle will be able to spark this trend. I think: The chances are good.

The coolest new weapon in Borderlands 3 is a sniper that blows everything up

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

The new “Blood Money” DLC in Borderlands 3 comes with a lot of fresh weapons. Among them, the “Complex Root” stands out as a rather firepower-heavy sniper.

This is the Complex Root: The Complex Root is a sniper rifle from the brand Maliwan. Like all other Maliwan weapons, it is based on energy bursts and emphasizes elemental damage. The gun is available in all sorts of elemental variants.

The unusual thing about the Complex Root is that it doesn’t necessarily function like a typical sniper. Instead of using single, aimed shots at long distances, it is also effective at close to medium range.

The special effect of the weapon defines its usefulness: When you fire it, your shot bounces around a few times, hitting your enemies multiple times. This allows for high damage values, as shown by YouTuber Joltzdude139 in his video:

The Complex Root might work even too well

Here’s why you should be careful: If you’ve acquired a Complex Root in the new Borderlands DLC, you can be pleased with one of the currently strongest weapons. But: If you shoot with it, you’d better take cover.

Because the bouncing projectiles from the Complex Root can cause a lot of splash damage. This was demonstrated by YouTuber Ki11er Six in another video: Here, you can see how the gun outshines any rocket launcher, but also fully hits the player.

Ki11er Six praises the new weapon but also shows its dangers

The Complex Root does a great job against enemies, but one should preferably wait behind a wall until the fireworks are over. Especially Moze, who tends to unleash one or another explosion on her enemies, is in danger here.

Where can I find the Complex Root? The Complex Root was introduced with the new DLC and can be found on Gehenna as a world drop. But you can also try to get it from Lani Dixon in Ashfall Peaks.

Let’s just hope that the new super weapon doesn’t fall victim to the nerf hammer. Gearbox has often taken it out against some weapons that were too strong. Especially in the new, tough takedown, such heavy guns are very useful.

Exotic Code in Destiny 2: What it can do and what it is most worth

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

If you missed some weapon exotics from previous seasons in Destiny 2, you can catch up now – with the Exotic Cipher. But which weapon is the most worth using the code on? And what else should be considered?

What is the deal with the exotic code? Due to the seasonal model of Destiny 2, there are several exotic weapons that were only available during a specific season – after that, they are no longer obtainable.

With Season 11, this has changed to the delight of some players – thanks to the exotic code (Exotic Cipher) from the current Season Pass (at Level 55). Because in the Season of Arrival, you have the chance to secure at least one of the 5 seasonal exotics retroactively with the code.

Some may wonder now: How does this even work? And which of the 5 or which of the missing exotic weapons should I get? You will find out here.

The code in the Season Pass

What exactly can you do with the Exotic Cipher? Basically, there are 2 things:

  • You can trade the code along with some other resources for one of 5 seasonal exotics from previous seasons with the Tower cryptarch Master Rahool.
  • With it, you can also draw another Fate Engram from Xur, which contains (missing) exotics from the regular exo pool.

Which seasonal exotic is the most worth using the Exotic Code on?

How expensive are the 5 exotics? So far, it seems there is only one exotic code available per season. Other sources outside of the Season Pass are currently unknown.

Each of the 5 exotics requires an exotic pass for purchase. Currently, you can only buy one of them per season – even if you should be missing all 5.

The exo selection at Rahool

Additionally to the Exotic Cipher, the following costs apply per exotic:

  • 100,000 Glimmer
  • some planetary resources
  • 3 enhancement prisms

Which weapon exotic is the most worth using the code on? If you are missing all or some of the exotics, refer to this list. Position 1 is the most worthwhile, and position 5 is the least.

  • 1. Hand Cannon Eriana’s Vow: the hybrid of a hand cannon and sniper is probably the best choice of all 5 exotics when it comes to endgame content. Essentially, it’s almost a must-have all-rounder when you encounter champions.
  • 2. Hand Cannon The Devil’s Ruin: A very strong hand cannon and simply a monster against unstoppable champions. Especially in Season 11, many powerful builds are possible with it.
  • 3. Fusion Rifle Bastion: A strong fusion rifle that, in the right hands, can really shine in PvP. Unfortunately, it’s not very helpful against champions in PvE.
  • 4. Heavy Bow Leviathan’s Breath: A fun bow, although there are several better alternatives in the heavy or exotic slot for its strengths against champions.
  • 5. Scout Rifle Symmetry: The weapon is not bad, but of all 5 exotics, it is certainly the weakest option – unless you are a die-hard scout rifle fan.
Destiny-2-Devils-Ruin-1140x445
The Devil’s Ruin

Keep in mind: The order may certainly look different according to individual preferences for some.

von Sven Galitzki

Therefore, you might want to wait with the code

For some players, it might also be worthwhile to save the exotic code until the next season and the big autumn expansion Beyond Light. But why?

Locations are disappearing – what about the exotics? In Destiny 2, with the new expansion this autumn, several locations and their associated content will temporarily disappear into the Destiny Content Vault. And with that, Destiny 2 has to rethink its approach to up to 18 previous weapon exotics, as they are tied to corresponding activities.

It is entirely conceivable that starting next season, some more exotics could expand the offering from Master Rahool, for which you would need another exotic code. So if you already own all 5 currently offered exotics or do not necessarily need the missing specimens, it might be worthwhile to save the code for now and possibly redeem it in Season 12.

destiny 2 Xur
The mysterious exotic vendor Xur

I have already obtained all seasonal exotics – and now? In autumn, new exotics will most likely enrich the game as well. If they belong to the regular exotic loot pool, which is very likely for armor, then they will also be available through Xur and his Fate Engram.

Consequently, you would have, thanks to the Cipher Codes, double the chance for a new world drop exotic from the Fate Engram in the first week of the new content with Xur.

By the way, since swords are currently very popular in the power slot, the selection of strong exotics is relatively limited. Here you can find the best 4 exotic weapons for the other slots: The best 4 weapon exotics to try in Season 11

CoD Warzone: Player unfairly humiliates his opponent, is immediately punished

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

A player in Call of Duty: Warzone had a bitter experience that schadenfreude is not always good. He faced immediate karma after a nasty action.

Here’s what happened: A clip titled “I will never teabag a knocked player again” appeared on reddit. It features a player trying to humiliate his opponent after the knockout.

His teammates then laughed loudly at him, saying things like “You are so stupid!”

Teabagging goes wrong and is punished immediately

This is the clip: The reddit user and streamer Webzys was in the Warzone at the end of a round and recorded the following clip:

So the player first eliminates 5 enemies and is celebrated by his teammates. In the end, he wanted to humiliate the last opponent who was already on the ground. He teabagged him, meaning he stood over him and crouched repeatedly.

What he did not consider is that the opponent could still self-revive. Within seconds, the enemy got back up and eliminated the completely surprised player.

This player cannot believe it, jumps up from his chair and throws himself on the floor. His colleagues in Teamspeak laugh loudly, and one of them then shouts: “You are trash! You are so stupid!”.

This clip is also available: Almost simultaneously, a video from the opponent who ultimately eliminated the teabagging player appeared on reddit.

There you can clearly see how the supposed winner stands in front of him and crouches repeatedly. The knocked player already regenerates himself during that time and then has an easy job at the final kill.

Are there more such videos? That streamers can also work well together is shown in another clip about Warzone. There, a team won without a gun.

Another clip shows a genius knife throw by a player. He hit his opponent while he was in a vehicle chasing him. It was almost a last desperate act from the player to save himself from the vehicle and the opponent.

Noah’s Heart sounds like the new “Sword Art Online” MMO that we all want

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

An MMORPG like Sword Art Online? With “Noah’s Heart,” the wish could come true. At least there are many similarities.

For years, players have longed for an MMORPG adaptation of the popular anime Sword Art Online (SAO). So far, this wish has been largely unfulfilled – but a new MMORPG might come close. At least at first glance, Noah’s Heart seems to have a lot in common with the world from the series.

Why is this like Sword Art Online? The parallels to the fantasy world from the anime Sword Art Online are quite pronounced. On one hand, the game world is virtual – also in the story of the game. The virtual environment was created by a mysterious construct called “Cube.” What exactly Cube intends and why it created this world can be discovered by players throughout the storyline.

But also visually, the game world resembles the anime, as the graphic style is clearly inspired by manga, as is the colorful fantasy world. What it looks like is shown in this trailer:

Recommended editorial content

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

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

What else is there? Other game elements also remind of the anime template. Players can customize their character, and there don’t seem to be fixed character classes. Not everyone has to become a great fighter and want to save the world. Those who simply want to lead a peaceful life in a village can do so – a theme that was also addressed in SAO.

Player decisions are supposed to have consequences. There are storylines with different endings. For example, if a player lets an NPC die in a quest, that NPC remains dead – which can have repercussions for the further course of the game. There will not be a possibility for reversal. Consequences are therefore palpable.

The Steam chief thinks we are getting dangerously close to a “real” Sword Art Online …

When will the game be released? Whether Noah’s Heart can truly fascinate in the end remains to be seen. The game is set to be released in 2021 also in English on mobile devices. As mmorpg.org.pl knows, a PC adaptation of the title should also follow afterward. However, there is no specific date for this yet.

Will you take a look at “Noah’s Heart” upon release? Or do you share the concerns of some commentators under the video that this will be another “generic trash game”? Maybe it will be good enough to be one of the best mobile games.

What new stadiums does FIFA 21 have? One is already known

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

In FIFA 21 you can virtually step onto the pitch in numerous stadiums from the real football world, of which EA Sports holds the licenses. Fans are eagerly awaiting which new stadiums EA has secured this year. The complete stadium list for FIFA 21 is not yet known, but fans have already discovered a new arena.

Which stadiums will FIFA 21 have? FIFA 20 could boast 90 licensed stadiums upon release, which were spread across the globe and came from various leagues. FIFA 21 will likely be released with a similar number and diversity of “real” stadiums, although the complete stadium list is probably not going to be revealed until mid or late September 2020. In recent years, the official list has typically been released in mid-September (on September 17 for FIFA 20). However, since the release for FIFA 21 is being pushed back by 2 weeks, we also expect a later stadium reveal.

Until then, fans still have time to create wish lists and vote for their favorite stadiums on relevant FIFA sites. Additionally, there will be continual unveilings throughout the summer regarding which licenses EA Sports managed to secure and which went to Konami for the competing game “Pro Evolution Soccer”. FIFA recently introduced 2 new German venues.

Providence Park is in FIFA 21

This new stadium is already known: In the first trailer for FIFA 21, some gameplay scenes are seen, with the camera repeatedly capturing the fans in the stands along with the stadium atmosphere. Here, fans discovered brief scenes from a stadium that has never been featured in any FIFA installment before: Providence Park. This stadium can be seen starting at minute 1:24, though due to the green smoke, not much is visible:

This is Providence Park: This stadium, which has a capacity of around 25,000 spectators, is the home of the Portland Timbers. The Portland Timbers have been playing in the MLS, Major League Soccer, since the 2011 season, which is the top division of North American football. The Portland Timbers wear a green home jersey, which fits the green smoke and fan jerseys in the trailer.

The discovery of Providence Park in FIFA 21 is confirmed by the official Twitter account of the Portland Timbers. They write: “What’s this?” and tag the video at the relevant point:

In the comments, the excitement of the Portland Timbers fans is tremendous. One writes: “Damn, now I have to get the PS5 and FIFA 21 after all.”

Which stadiums from North America are still in the game? FIFA 20 was released with 5 North American stadiums. Unless there are any changes to the licenses, they should also be included in FIFA 21:

  • BC Place Stadium (Vancouver Whitecaps, Canada)
  • Centurylink Field (Seattle Sounders FC, USA)
  • Mercedes-Benz Arena (Atlanta United, USA)
  • Dignity Health Sports Park (LA Galaxy, USA)
  • Red Bull Arena (New York Red Bulls)

Further new North American stadiums are not yet known. FIFA fans on Reddit, however, hope that the scene in the trailer is a teaser that all new MLS stadiums will be in FIFA 21.

Stadium Wish List for FIFA 21 – What about the Allianz Arena?

These are the stadiums fans around the world wish for: Big English-speaking sites like fifplay are already holding votes where fans can vote for new stadiums they wish to see in FIFA 21.

Over 75,000 fans have already participated in the vote on fifplay – with this preliminary result:

  1. Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris (Genoa, Italy) – 24% of all votes
  2. Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium (Istanbul, Turkey) – 10%
  3. Stadio San Nicola (Bari, Italy) – 10%
  4. Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce, Italy) – 7%
  5. Stade Bollaert-Delelis (Lens, France) – 6%
  6. Stadio San Filippo (Sicily, Italy) – 5%

It is noticeable that especially Italian stadiums occupy the top spots. In a survey by fifauteam with significantly fewer participants, however, world-famous stadiums like Camp Nou or Celtic Park rank higher. However, the rights to Camp Nou in Barcelona have been with Konami for years.

Bear in mind that these are international voting polls. If only Bundesliga fans were asked, stadiums like the Allianz Arena would surely rank higher. So far, only 1% of votes on fifplay have gone to the Munich Allianz Arena.

Allianz Arena in FIFA 19

Is there already information about the Allianz Arena in FIFA 21? The venue of FC Bayern was missing in FIFA 20. Because Konami managed to secure the exclusive rights to it. However, it is not known how long this partnership lasts. It might be a multi-year contract, or perhaps EA Sports was able to compete for the Allianz Arena this year already.

Before FIFA 17, FC Bayern entered a partnership with EA Sports, which led to FIFA fans having a “realistic” representation of the Allianz Arena in FIFA installments for three years. How long they will have to wait without it remains to be seen.

More Atmosphere in the Stadiums of FIFA 21

This is what EA Sports officially says so far about stadiums in FIFA 21: EA has not yet released a stadium list. However, they promise an upgraded stadium atmosphere on the next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X. Thus,

  • the “Deferred lighting & rendering” will provide more realism and “even more authentic football in all areas of the stadium,”
  • a “next-generation atmosphere” and better stadium experience through “fan reactions and explosive emotionality” will be possible
  • and you will be visually and acoustically immersed in professional sports.

What new stadiums are you wishing for in FIFA 21?

Diablo 3: In Season 21, one of the worst classes finally becomes top again

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The Demon Hunter looks really good in Season 21 of Diablo 3. The new set catapults him up in the tier lists. What makes the class so good?

What makes Season 21 so important? This week, the new Season 21 of Diablo 3 starts. This is important for players because it brings along two new sets. Demon Hunter players must have followed the patch notes with their mouths wide open. Because: Finally, the DH gets a new set.

The good news continues, as the set greatly helps the Demon Hunter. In the last seasons, he was always in the middle of the tier lists with the same sets and at the end of the rankings.

The “Gear of Terror” set changes a lot and puts the class on the path to victory.

Demon Hunter with great potential in Season 21

What is changing? The new set “Gear of Terror” can now be found in the game through patch 2.6.9. The 6-piece bonus of the set buffs the damage of your primary skills by 10,000%. This update also adjusted several other items that you will use with the new set and the Demon Hunter in general.

What testers are saying: On the PTR servers, players could already try out the new patch 2.6.9 with all its adjustments and innovations. In the case of the Demon Hunter, fans have more good news because the set is new and also powerful.

On early tier lists, such as that of Diablo 3 expert Raxxanterax, the Demon Hunter ranks in a strong 2nd place overall. Only the Barbarian achieves a higher ranking in terms of potential in Season 21.

Why is this so important?

How it has been so far: In the past seasons, things looked pretty grim for Demon Hunters on the leaderboard. We regularly check the leaderboards during the seasons. We give you insights into which classes are making it the farthest in solo Greater Rifts or delivering the fastest times.

  • Season 18: 2 months after the season start, the Demon Hunter was in second to last place.
  • Season 19: 3 months after the season start, the Demon Hunter was in last place.
  • Season 20: 2 months after the season start, the Demon Hunter was in last place.

Moreover, players had to constantly use the same sets and builds. The same Multishot build kept dragging through the seasons. Sometimes with minimal variations.

Conclusion: With the new set, there is finally a new playstyle for the Demon Hunter fans among you. Additionally, there is the potential to finally lead the leaderboard and compete at the top instead of always being at the bottom.

From early indications, the Necromancer hasn’t been doing so well either, who also receives a new set in Season 21. On Raxxanterax’s overall tier list, the Necro ranks 5th and can only impress in groups.

Dream couple from the movie finally marries in Lord of the Rings Online – With epic quest

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online (LotRO), an important event is coming up. Two great heroes are getting married, which is associated with a new quest series.

Who is getting married? Aragorn and Arwen enter into the bond of marriage. Those who know the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien or the films of The Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson know that these two are important characters.

Ranger Aragorn accompanied the Ring-bearer Frodo and the other companions and played a significant role in the Battle of Helm’s Deep and the White City of Minas Tirith. He is a descendant of Isildur, King of Gondor, and thus the rightful heir to the throne. After the War of the Ring, he will be crowned.

Arwen is the daughter of Elven Lord Elrond. Due to her love for Aragorn, she remained in Middle-earth when the Elves left the land and chose to die together with her husband.

The wedding also starts a new holiday in the MMORPG, which will be celebrated every year with festivities and rewards.

Since you are currently receiving a content pack worth around 200 € for free, it’s worth checking out LotRO.

How long does the event last? The event is supposed to end on July 20. Rumors suggest that it will then transition into a new story in which West Rohan will be made accessible as a housing area.

Pokémon GO: Break should fix bugs in PvP League – Fans still complain

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The PvP league in Pokémon GO has been available again for a few days. After a nasty exploit, the league was recently closed for over a week. However, the break apparently did not help much.

This is the state of the PvP league: On June 13, Niantic took the PvP league offline. The reason was a player who had cheated their way to the top of the leaderboard using an exploit.

On June 23, ten days later, the PvP league was back online. The bugs were supposed to be fixed, and there were some adjustments to the rewards as compensation.

However, after several days of testing, many trainers found that many bugs and even the serious exploit were still in the game.

Trainers continue to report nasty exploit

What kind of exploit is this? It became known as the “Melmetal GBL Exploit.” The cheating player always used Melmetal and thus exploited the advantage. However, it does not have much to do with the Pokémon itself.

The exploit uses third-party software to make Pokémon GO think that the game is running faster. This allows players to throw their attacks much faster in the PvP league, giving them a huge advantage over their opponent.

Is the bug still in the game? Even right after the restart, some players reported that their opponent had used the exploit.

These reports are becoming frequent. However, there is no real proof video of this. A video has surfaced on Twitter that could show this bug. Experts, however, are not entirely sure if it is indeed this exploit:

https://twitter.com/CommunityGONews/status/1275754269636022272

In addition, there are numerous statements from players who have experienced this exploit against them.

Other bugs are still annoying in PvP: Despite the one-week break, there are still numerous bugs found in the PvP league. User FabiusM1 writes on reddit: “The real problem after the fix is that the PvP league has more bugs than ever, and switching Pokémon is an absolute chaos. These are the real issues that should be fixed! Season 2 is a disgrace!”

If you still enjoy the PvP league despite the numerous bugs, we recommend our tier list for the league. There we present the best Pokémon for each league so you can have a decisive advantage in battles – provided your opponent does not exploit any.

CoD Warzone will finally fix the problem with gas masks, which is so unfair

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone, there are sometimes minor or major bugs. One of the most unfair glitches in the game is finally set to disappear – the invulnerable gas mask.

What kind of bug is this? To protect you in the Warzone from the deadly, radioactive gas, a special item is available that allows you to survive a few seconds outside the gas-free play area – the gas mask.

Overall, the equipment provides you with 12 seconds of protection from the harmful effects of the poison gas. This way, you can survive twice as long in the player-hostile area compared to without a mask.

Due to a glitch that occurs sometimes and randomly, the mask does not break when its time is up. Players with these super masks are completely immune to the gas and its unpleasant properties.

Rare Mask Glitch Disrupts Normal Gameplay

Why is this so unfair? The gas forms the boundary of the play area and should rarely or never be entered. When soldiers now have unrestricted access here, it leads to really unfair advantages:

The gas mask glitch is therefore considered one of the most unfair bugs plaguing the Battle Royale. Only cheaters and hackers above it are still a major problem for Warzone. Also, because it has now come to light that they can easily buy back into the game for just $2 after a ban.

cod warzone gas action vehicle
Sometimes you have to really step on the gas to escape the gas. Not with the glitch mask.

When will the glitch disappear? An exact date is not yet known, but the bug now appears on the developers’ Trello board. Here, Infinity Ward lists bugs in the game that the creators are currently working on. Regarding the mask glitch, it says:

  • In rare cases, the gas mask can become invulnerable and does not completely break when it reaches 0 health.

It is difficult to assess when exactly the fix will go into the game. The developers do not provide any information on the board about how long they expect to need for the entries there or what they are currently working on intensively.

When we can say goodbye to the mask glitch is not entirely clear. Similar to the strong assault rifle Grau 5.56. A nerf is expected here and MeinMMO has already put together a few “Goodbye Grau” setups for you.
