Are you waiting for Greymoor? I have already found a lot of Skyrim in ESO

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 7 minutes

In The Elder Scrolls Online steckt bereits viel mehr Skyrim, als ihr womöglich wisst. Hier erfahrt ihr von unserem MeinMMO-Autor Jürgen Horn, wo ihr schon jetzt, vor dem Release von Greymoor, die kühle Luft von Himmelsrand schnuppern könnt.

The region of Skyrim is among the favorites of Elder Scrolls fans, alongside Morrowind. After all, 2 of the most popular games in the series took place in the respective regions. Therefore, it is not surprising that the developers chose Skyrim as the setting in the upcoming expansion Greymoor.

However, unfortunately, Greymoor will only be released on May 26 for PC and June 9 for consoles.

What can a Skyrim fan do if they urgently need snowy expanses and hearty Nord festivities?

Here you can already find plenty of Skyrim in ESO

So much Skyrim is already present in ESO: Anyone who has played ESO on the side of the Ebonheart Pact will have visited several regions of Skyrim in ESO. Over time, additional regions have come, especially in the form of dungeon instances.

eso map 03
Here you can already find Skyrim in ESO. The large spot between Eastmarch and the Glacier is still empty and is expected to be filled with Greymoor. And then there is the island of Solstheim to the north…

I, Jürgen, bravely ventured into the north of Tamriel and searched for Skyrim areas. The following paragraphs show you where you can already catch a whiff of the icy air of the north.

Bleakrock Isle

Here you can find the region: Anyone starting the game on the side of the Pact automatically lands there. On the other hand, you can book a passage to the desolate island from Davon’s Watch. Bleakrock Isle is a barren island off the coast of Skyrim.

eso Bleakrock-Isle02
The icy island of Bleakrock Isle.

What awaits you there: As a starting region, Bleakrock Isle already offers a good portion of Skyrim for all fans of the region. You will find snowy plains, hearty longhouses, and even the ever-popular burial mounds with dungeons and undead.

A particularly funny quest lets you find people transformed into skeevers and turn them back.

As the story progresses, you help the island’s inhabitants fend off an attack from the Daggerfall Covenant and ultimately organize their orderly retreat from the island to the mainland.

Eastmarch

Here you can find the region: Eastmarch is the easternmost of the Skyrim regions. You will find it in the north of the country and can reach it via the Rift region to the south.

eso ostmarsch 01
A landscape in Eastmarch.

What awaits you there: Eastmarch is a major adventure region of ESO, which has been present since the base game. Here you will find plenty of quests and things to explore. There are over a dozen complex quests alone here. In addition, there are 7 dungeons and 2 large group dungeons, which I will detail below.

A highlight of the region is certainly the ancient city of Windhelm, which you will surely remember from the game Skyrim. In ESO, the king of the Ebonheart Pact resides here.

By the way, Eastmarch used to be a mid-game region in ESO, which you visited around level 31 to 37.

Rift

Here you can find the region: Rift is located just south of Eastmarch and is the southernmost of the Skyrim regions in the game. You can reach it, among other ways, from Cyrodiil.

eso The-Rift 01
The regional capital Riften with the magnificent Fighters Guild.

What awaits you there: Rift is further south than the rest of Skyrim and therefore not quite as frosty. You can expect forests and meadows full of animals. In addition, the capital Riften invites you to linger.

Rift offers many challenges: you get 7 public dungeons and a group instance, which I will introduce below. In addition, numerous complex quest lines guide you through the region. You will have a lot to do until you are done with Rift.

By the way, Rift used to be the high-level region of the Ebonheart Pact. You roamed there from level 38 to 43.

Fulstrom Homestead

Here you can find the region: This fortified farmhouse is located in Eastmarch, but you can only visit it during the introductory quest of the DLC Thieves Guild.

What awaits you there: At the request of the aspiring thief Quen, you should steal a mysterious skull from the possession of the local ruler. You sneak through a lovingly crafted Nord homestead, where you can extensively test the new stealth system from the Thieves Guild.

So here you sneak for the first time in ESO from cover to cover and hide from the guards in randomly placed willow baskets.

Direfrost Keep

Here you can find the region: This is a group dungeon that has been around since the base game. It is physically located in the Eastmarch region in the mountains, but you can also easily access it via the dungeon finder.

eso-Direfrost-Keep
Even bears are enemies in the frozen fortress.

What awaits you there: The fortress is the ancient home of the Direfrost Clan. However, nothing has been heard from them in some time. Instead, ice storms rage over the castle.

Inside the fortress, you will encounter undead and, at the end, a nasty witch whose companions we currently encounter at the Glacier. ESO had hinted at a threat here back then that is only now becoming relevant.

Falkreath

Here you can find the region: This town is actually located in ESO in the Reach, but it also somehow belongs to Skyrim. Falkreath is the scene of a dungeon in the DLC Horns of The Reach.

ESO-Falkenring10
The great final battle against the chief bull.

What awaits you there: In this dungeon, which is actually more of a scenario instance, you must defend the city against an attack from minotaurs. It starts off hard, as you fend off a siege mammoth at the gates and bombard it with arrows.

In the end, everything culminates in an epic battle against a colossal minotaur in the hall of the jarl. With the massive boss that fights in a sea of flames, this final battle is considered one of the most spectacular dungeon fights in the game.

Glacier

Here you can find the region: This region is located high in the north and can only be accessed during the dungeon Glacier from the DLC Harrowstorm.

ESO Harrowstorm Titel
These nasty witches are the bosses in the Glacier.

What awaits you there: This dungeon is part of the prelude to Greymoor and introduces two important story elements. On the one hand, you meet the warrior Lyris Titanborn, who plays an important role in Greymoor again.

Here she is not yet involved, but you will find Lyris later in the dungeon, where she helps you at the right moments with her big axe.

Moreover, the nasty witches appear again here, who will be responsible for the dreaded storms in Greymoor and already wreak havoc here.

Especially the final battle, in which all remaining witches of the circle appear together, will keep you busy countering their dark magic in time. Otherwise, you will all just die automatically!

Blessed Crucible

Here you can find the region: This dungeon from the base game is located in the mountains of the Rift region. You can also access it via the dungeon finder.

eso Blessed-Crucible
Here you can expect ruins of the Daedra.

What awaits you there: Most regions of Skyrim are icy and cold. Yet here, you encounter an ancient Daedra ruin permeated with lava located in the mountains.

Bloody gladiatorial battles take place there, and you must prove yourself against the bosses, including a tiefling who has a giant troll unleashed on you.

In the end, you will come face to face with the Lava Queen herself, the 400-year-old arena master. So prepare yourself for a tough battle.

Frostvault

Here you can find the region: The Frostvault is a large dungeon from the DLC Wrathstone. It is physically located in Eastmarch and can also be found via the dungeon finder.

eso-dungeon-frostgewölbe-screens-29
The massive final boss of the dungeon.

What awaits you there: The Frostvault is an ancient Dwemer ruin that has only recently thawed out. However, before you delve deeper into the vaults, you must drive out the goblin tribe residing there.

After that, you will repair a huge Dwemer machine that will clear the way into the chamber for you.

At the end of the instance, you will encounter a giant Dwemer colossus and take part of the Grudge Stone as a reward. But to achieve all of this, you need to transform into a cool new feature into a small, deployable rat and sabotage inside the colossus. Only then will you be able to master the colossus in the end.

Do you want to optimally prepare for Greymoor? Then get our special magazine on the new ESO expansion Greymoor. It is full of information, guides, tips, and tricks.

970x250_3D_Packshots_Skyrim

Additionally, you will receive the base game along with Morrowind for free in the magazine and a 25% discount on the Greymoor expansion. Among other things, our author Jürgen Horn has contributed there.

Here you can get our new special magazine on Greymoor

Here’s another preview of Greymoor

Here’s more Skyrim content: If you have already completed the two dungeons from the DLC Harrowstorm, you can also try the new and free prologue quest to Greymoor. This is open to all players, even if you have not purchased Harrowstorm. There you will meet Lyris and other important NPCs again and even briefly enter the eerie depths of the Blackreach.

Johto event in Pokémon GO brings 7 quests, 2 Shinies and new raid bosses

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The Johto event in Pokémon GO has begun! Here we provide you with an overview of spawns, field research, raid bosses, and the new Shinies.

This is the Johto event: This event is part of the Nostalgia Challenge and is the 2nd event in this series. You can benefit from the bonuses until May 15 at 1:00 PM local time.

The event has changed quite a bit in Pokémon GO, and to ensure you don’t miss anything, we show you the complete overview here.

Shinies, spawns, and quests – The Johto event

These are the quests you need to complete: During the event, there are 7 new field research tasks waiting for you, all featuring Pokémon from the 2nd generation. Here are the quests:

  • Earn a heart with your buddy
    • Reward: Encounter with a Lorblatt
  • Land 3 curveball throws
    • Reward: Encounter with a Noctu
  • Play with your buddy
    • Reward: Encounter with a Karnimani*
  • Catch 3 normal-type Pokémon
    • Reward: Encounter with a Dummisel*
  • Use 5 berries while catching Pokémon
    • Reward: Encounter with a Tannza*
  • Catch 3 fire-type Pokémon
    • Reward: Encounter with an Igelarvar
  • Hatch an egg
    • Reward: Encounter with a Phanpy

The best quests are probably for Dummisel and Tannza. While Dummisel is sought after as a new Shiny by almost all trainers, Tannza is rather rare outside of events, and many may still be missing the shiny variant.

These are the new Shinies: Dummisel has already been heavily promoted as a new Shiny in Pokémon GO. It has already been spotted and caught by trainers.

Additionally, Pikachu returns as a Shiny. This time it wears an Eevee hat. Make sure to get this Shiny, as after the event, this hat-wearing Pikachu will likely not come back for a while.

Pokémon GO Dummisel Shiny

What event spawns are there? Almost every Pokémon from the 2nd generation appears in this event. Particularly interesting are the spawns of Dummisel, Panzaeron, Lampi, Tannza, and Yanma. They are quite rare outside of events or have only recently been introduced as Shinies. So you will have good chances of encountering a sought-after Shiny here.

These bonuses are exciting: Especially the double stardust for caught Pokémon should be utilized. You can now also stack star pieces, allowing you to walk around with the item for longer than just half an hour. This is worthwhile in this event.

New raid bosses for the Johto event

These are the new bosses: A large portion of the new raid bosses come from the 2nd generation. Additionally, there are some Shiny checks from other generations:

Raid LevelRaid Boss
Level 1 (pink egg)Praktibalk*
Klikk*
Endivie*
Feurigel*
Karnimani*
Voltilamm*
Level 2 (pink egg)Traunfugil*
Skorgla*
Flunkifer*
Sniebel*
Tannza*
Kapoera
Level 3 (yellow egg)Nachtara
Pottrott*
Donphan
Psiana
Alola-Raichu*
Panzaeron*
Level 4 (yellow egg)Granbull
Despotar
Absol*
Ursaring
Togetic
Level 5 (black egg)Giratina (Altered Form)*

Which bosses are worth it? This time there are a lot of potential Shinies, which we have marked with an asterisk (*) in the list. So if you still need one of the Shinies, you can try your luck in the raids.

In terms of usability, Despotar, Psiana, Sniebel, and Praktibalk are worth it. They or their evolutions are all top attackers of their type.

For PvP, Togetic, Alola-Raichu, Panzaeron, Nachtara, and Giratina are worthwhile. They are among the best Pokémon in the Tier List of the PvP League. So if you still need a strong team for one of the leagues, you should focus on these Pokémon in raids.

Player spares his opponent in CoD MW – He spontaneously changes sides

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare there are sometimes moments of unity between both teams. One player spared his opponent because he provided convincing arguments for him.

Normally, in Modern Warfare, one should not be lenient with their opponents, after all, the shooter is supposed to be brutally realistic. But a brief moment of connection is now causing excitement on reddit.

After reddit user “SorryForBeingNice” spared his opponent, he quickly joined forces with him and attacked their teammates. The clip has already received over 10,000 upvotes.

Spontaneous Switch of Sides Excites Viewers

This is the clip: First, you see a player with a riot shield clearing an opponent out of the way. Another opponent joins and sees that his chance for a kill is slim, and he begs for mercy. He shakes his head and his counterpart indeed spares him.

Another player from the spared player’s team comes over, but quickly flees again. The spared player then seems to want to take revenge and fires at his own teammate.

The game was played in Hardcore mode. Friendly Fire is activated, so the spared player could actually eliminate his teammate. However, he did not hit him during the action.

How is the video being reacted to? Especially the action of the spared player causes laughter and positive comments. For example, “Jwilso85” notes: “I think the team kill makes it 100x funnier.”

Other viewers are amazed by the gesture from the player with the riot shield. After all, he could have easily eliminated his opponent.

Are there more clips like this? Players frequently showcase their quirky clips in Modern Warfare. Recently, a knife thrower drew attention by winning an entire round with a throwing knife kill across the entire map.

A bug in Modern Warfare is causing excitement, as it allows players to play the shooter in third-person view. Many players hope this becomes a feature and not just a bug in the game. So far, that has not happened yet.

FIFA 20: 3 affordable TOTSSF players that will immediately improve your team

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

The current TOTSSF event brings a lot of new, strong cards in FIFA 20. Unfortunately, they are also correspondingly expensive – here you can find 3 affordable TOTS players that are still strong.

These cards are included in the TOTSSF: So far, the Community-, EFL-, Premier League– and Saudi TOTSSF have been released. And inside there are some big names, like de Bruyne, van Dijk, or Agüero.

If you were really lucky, you already pulled cards like these from your weekend league rewards – they are currently better than ever. Otherwise, these super cards are hardly obtainable. The best cards are in the multiple millions, and even weaker cards like Piqué or Julian Brand cost you more than 100,000 coins.

However, even if you don’t have 100,000 coins left, you can find some treasures among the TOTSSF cards. Here we show you three cards that, while not too expensive, can still strengthen your team.

TOTSSF Grimaldo

This is Grimaldo: Grimaldo plays as a Spanish left-back in the Portuguese Liga NOS. His card comes from the Community TOTS and is likely one of the best cards you can find in the team.

FIFA 20 Grimaldo

Looking at Grimaldo’s stats, it quickly becomes clear: He is one of the top 10 left-backs in FIFA 20 overall. This is especially true if you’re looking for a full-back that pushes forward and not just defends. Thanks to high speed, good dribbling, and strong defensive stats, he can cover both roles. Anyone who already owns Grimaldo should definitely try his TOTS version.

Where is Grimaldo worth it? Grimaldo occupies the left full-back position, and with some chemistry loss, he can also play right back. However, considering his left-footed nature, this should be thought through.

One thing is for sure: This defender is worth the approximately 45,000 to 50,000 coins he currently costs (May 8). The reason he is so cheap is likely due to his difficult-to-integrate league. However, as a Spaniard, you can easily link him with players like Sergio Ramos, Piqué, Thiago, or Busquets – not to mention icons like Puyol. Grimaldo also fits well with the next entry on this list.

TOTSSF Pepe

This is Pepe: Many fans may still remember Pepe as the tough defender from Real Madrid, who often earned a red card or two. Nowadays, the 37-year-old makes his living in the Portuguese Liga NOS.

FIFA 20 Pepe

His TOTSSF card comes from the Community TOTSSF and has stats that make Pepe quite useful. The overall rating is 88, most of which comes from high defensive and physical stats. He also has a 98 aggression rating, which long-time Pepe fans might consider to be too low. His 75 pace can be boosted with a Shadow chem style, allowing him to keep up with the speed.

Where is Pepe worth it? Pepe’s TOTSSF card is available for only 35,000 coins (May 8), making it very affordable. If he can be integrated into the center-back position, you can expect a strong, aggressive obstacle for opposing strikers. He naturally fits especially well with players from the Liga NOS, like Grimaldo. But also Portuguese compatriots like Ricardo Pereira, Nelson Semedo, or Joao Cancelo fit well next to Pepe.

TOTSSF Moussa Dembélé

This is Dembélé: Dembélé stood out as a striker for Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1 with 16 goals in 27 matches last season. He was rewarded with a strong TOTSSF card in the Community Team.

FIFA 20 TOTSSF Dembele

The card offers great numbers in attacking stats, particularly in speed and shooting. At the same time, the 90 physical makes him quite strong, and the four-star skills are unpredictable. Only defensively does he have weaknesses – but that is not his focus. With Dembélé, you primarily get a central striker who knows where the goal is.

Where is Dembélé worth it? There are plenty of French players with good stats in FIFA 20. So you can easily find good links for Dembélé, regardless of the league. And you can now get him quite cheaply: After initially costing 150,000 coins, he has fallen to about 50,000 coins during the TOTSSF event (May 8). A price that definitely makes Dembélé worth it.

In the coming weeks, more strong players are expected to join the previous TOTSSF teams. On Friday evening, the next one will be the La Liga TOTSSF from the Spanish league.

Survival MMO Conan Exiles brings first major DLC 2020 & it looks great

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 4 minutes

Conan Exiles has released its first DLC for 2020: “Architects of Argos.” The new Mediterranean-themed content is announced with a stylish trailer and comes together with a cool, free feature for your slaves.

What is this DLC about? Architects of Argos revolves around the seafaring merchants of Argos, inspired by the ancient Greeks and Argonauts. This is the first DLC of 2020 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4, and the latest after the “Riders of Hyboria” pack in December 2019, which introduced mounts as features.

The associated trailer highlights epic music and showcases features like grand buildings and stylish armors in classic style. We have embedded the video for you here:

In addition to the DLC, a new and free update for companions is coming. With the new changes and the new DLC, Conan Exiles gives you a reason to check out one of the best survival games of 2020 again.

Mediterranean buildings and stylish armors

What’s included in the DLC: As always, the DLC is purely cosmetic and does not provide any gameplay advantages. All content merely changes the appearance of your building components and armors, but not their values and properties.

The style is inspired by ancient Greece and is roughly similar to that of the Aquilonians from the “Jewel of the West” DLC. In the now tenth DLC for Conan Exiles, there are:

  • 49 new and exclusive building components
  • 18 placeable items
  • 3 new saddles for your mounts
  • 15 armor pieces (three sets of five pieces: heavy, medium, and light)
  • 9 weapons
  • Conan Exiles Argos DLC Armors 2
    New armors and weapons.
  • Conan Exiles Argos DLC Buildings
    A small palace in Argos style.
  • Conan Exiles Argos DLC Armors
    New armors and building pieces.
  • Conan Exiles Argos DLC Building 2
    Stylish fountains.
  • Conan Exiles Argos DLC Interior 1
    Interior in Argos style.
  • Conan Exiles Argos DLC Exterior 1
    A small town in Argos style.

What is the price of the DLC? Architects of Argos has been available since May 7, 2020, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, costing €9.99 on all platforms. Here you will find links to the shops:

New update improves your slaves

What is changing for slaves: Along with the DLC, a new, free patch for Conan Exiles is being released, bringing new features for your slaves. These go hand in hand with the massive March 2020 update, which introduced a management system for your slaves.

The “Followers II” update now allows you to issue direct commands to your companions and set behavioral rules. You can command them to protect you or a specific area or to attack enemies, as well as adjust the range at which they pursue foes.

Conan Exiles Slave Behavior
You can now control the behavior of slaves.

The tactics setting gives you the option to determine whether your companions use melee or ranged attacks, thereby complementing your own play style. With a press of a button, you can even command them to attack, stop, or return to their position.

What is changing for mounts: Furthermore, the newly introduced mounts are no longer counted as companions. You can now ride and still have a slave as a combat companion.

To make it easier to capture new slaves, you can now drag unconscious enemies by chains behind your horse, to then bind them to the Wheel of Pain. You can find the complete patch notes in the official forum.

Conan Exiles Slaves on Horses
You can now simply carry new slaves on your horse into the camp.

The initial reactions to the DLC and the update have been quite positive – on Steam, Architects of Argos has about 92% positive ratings, although only 14 reviews so far. In the forum, players are expressing their gratitude for the work done.

If you want to take another look at the survival MMO yourself, but do not just want to fight for survival in the dangerous world, check out these 5 mods that transform Conan Exiles into a completely different game.

How players react to The Ascent, the “Cyberpunk-Diablo” for Xbox Series X & PC

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The developer studio Neon Giant announced the action RPG The Ascent during the Inside-Xbox livestream on May 7. But how is “Cyberpunk-Diablo” received by players?

What is The Ascent? In the dystopian world of the action RPG The Ascent, the mega-corporation “The Ascent Group” has collapsed. Since you and all other creatures belonged to this corporation, chaos is now breaking out. The world is reminiscent of CD Project Red’s Cyberpunk 2077.

From a top-down perspective, you fight your way through the levels either alone or cooperatively with up to four players using futuristic weapons. You upgrade your hero based on loot and skills, similar to how you might know it from Diablo – only here in the form of cyber-technology.

This trailer announced The Ascent and excites players.

This could be promising

How are the reactions to the game? What has been shown so far is being received very positively. Players are looking forward to the release of the game and have been discussing it since the first trailer was released.

  • ichinii says on reddit: “Looks great. As long as they can keep the framerate at a solid 60 with so many explosions, I can only imagine that 4 players and lots of explosions could tax the engine, but that’s what next-gen systems are all about, right?”
  • Doctordarkspawn is very excited on reddit: “A Cyberpunk Diablo? Where do I sign up???”
  • Igor Kuv mentions on Steam: “This looks so similar to Ruiner from Devolver. Also a Cyberpunk setting, similar gameplay mechanics, an isometric camera… even the art style is similar. I hope it really comes close to Ruiner. At least in the co-op mode.”
  • Salvatoris on reddit is not so thrilled: “That looked fantastic until they showed the gameplay. Isometric… I pass.”
The Ascent Screenshot Gleiter
The Ascent looks like a mix between Diablo and Cyberpunk 2077 in gameplay.

Are we expecting a Cyberpunk Diablo?

Will it be like Diablo? Not much is known about The Ascent yet. However, it suggests that we might get a kind of Cyberpunk Diablo:

  • The developers describe it as an action RPG.
  • Like in Diablo, you fight hordes of enemies from an isometric perspective.
  • Additionally, you improve your character like in an RPG, but based on implants.
  • Loot plays an important role.

Where are the question marks? Diablo relies on many quests and replayability. This is not really visible in The Ascent yet. One can assume that there are quests, but how profound they are and whether they tell good stories cannot be said at this point.

Furthermore, nothing is known about the replay value and endgame, which are also important aspects in an action RPG.

When will The Ascent be released? The action RPG is set to be released in the fall for Xbox Series X and PC via Steam.

The Ascent is certainly a very interesting action RPG. However, 2020 is expected to bring more hack and slays that are quite exciting. The MeinMMO list of the 9 hack and slays coming in 2020 will reveal which ones are expected to bridge the wait for Diablo 4.

This is why disappointed Fortnite stars now hope that Season 3 will be much better again

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 2 minutes

The YouTube streamer Jack “CouRage” Dunlop has recently refrained from playing Fortnite. But the changes of the last few weeks seem to give him hope again. He explains why he is looking forward to Season 3.

This is the former Fortnite streamer: Jack “CouRage” Dunlop is a YouTube streamer who was also the caster of the Fortnite World Championship 2019. But he had turned away from Fortnite.

The most compelling reason why the streamer didn’t want to play the game anymore was the skill-based matchmaking that Fortnite had introduced. It was simply too stressful and exhausting for him to fight against strong players.

Fortnite is making a turn

What does CouRage think of Fortnite now? His opinion on the game seems to have changed now, and it seems that the professional is filled with hope for the next season.

In a tweet, the streamer listed what changes Fortnite has made in recent weeks:

“Oh my God. Fortnite is making a turn”

He seems to believe that Fortnite will get back on track. So it might become as fun as he remembers it before he turned his back on the game.

The fact that Epic listens to players’ wishes and makes changes, communicates, and explains decisions seems to give the streamer hope that Season 3 could really be great.

Maybe he will return for the next Season 3 and stream more Fortnite again?

This is how other streamers see it: With this opinion, the YouTube streamer is not alone. The Twitch streamer Ali “SypherPK” Hassan seems to be looking forward to Season 3 immensely after these changes.

He writes in response to CouRage’s tweet:

CoD Warzone: A simple trick makes your cluster strike much more precise

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

A simple trick in Call of Duty: Warzone allows you to maximize the precision of your cluster strikes – even at long distances.

What is the cluster strike all about? Killstreaks like the cluster strike or the precision airstrike are a popular means to rack up extra kills in CoD: Warzone, the in-house battle royale mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Especially in the increasingly tighter gas circle, a well-placed precision attack can indeed decide the outcome of victory or defeat. We show you how to make the cluster strike even more effective with a simple trick.

The laser pointer from the cluster strike

How to make the cluster strike more precise: The cluster strike is especially effective at close to medium ranges. The strike location is marked by laser. However, aiming becomes increasingly difficult at greater distances. At medium and long ranges, it can often be impossible to precisely set the impact zone.

However, Reddit user and CoD player LeagueofSOAD has now posted a valuable tip that can improve the precision of the cluster strike. This makes even surgical hits possible over very long distances.

Instead of aligning this precision strike using the laser, aim your weapons (also possible with sniper scopes) at the desired spot with the sighting device. Then switch to the cluster strike without changing your view or camera angle, and simply activate it.

This way, you can determine the strike location precisely through the weapon’s sight. The cluster strike will hit exactly where you aimed with the sight. If you spot an enemy or an entire group in the distance, you can take them out comfortably from a safe distance.

How do you even get the cluster strike? You can purchase the cluster strike at one of the many supply stations during a Warzone match. This powerful item costs $3,000, which is even a bit less than the 3 best items you should actually buy in every round.

A supply station

Do you want to aim more precisely with a controller? By the way, if you are on PS4 or Xbox One, or generally play with a controller, you should take a look at your dead zone settings. Because not only can you make the cluster strike more precise, but with the right settings, you can also improve aiming in general. You can learn more about it here: Aim better with the correct dead zone setting – here’s how

Destiny 2 reshapes loot balance – Hard activities should be worthwhile again

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, the coolest loot is often hidden in the cash shop instead of behind the toughest challenges in the game. The balance just isn’t right. However, Bungie has now introduced adjustments for the Eververse and rewards from various activities that are meant to change that.

Bungie is currently conducting an information offensive. The Destiny developer is thoroughly addressing current community criticism every week and presenting solution strategies. This week’s topics: loot, rewards, and the Eververse.

In the TWaB (via Bungie) from May 7, Luke Smith, the head of the Destiny franchise, addressed the imbalance of rewards in the game: “There aren’t enough pursuits in the world. We will change that.”

Away from the Eververse, towards earnable rewards

Many players currently complain that the coolest items are only available from the cash shop, the Eververse. That is set to change soon. By purely playing Destiny 2, players will finally be able to earn cool, elaborately designed items through challenging activities.

Changes for challenging activities: In Destiny 2, raids, trials, and dungeons are part of the “aspirational content.” These so-called aspirational activities will receive new loot:

  • Raids, trials, and dungeons will drop cosmetic (thematically inspired) and powerful items in the future
  • Every new aspirational activity will be designed with at least one new accessory to pursue
  • Destiny’s next raid will feature brand new armor, weapons, and exotic accessories
  • Adept weapons for the Trials of Osiris are coming
  • New weapons and armor (no reworked reskins) in the trials starting in Season 13
  • Every year there will be new Trials gear
  • Every season will have a challenging armor pursuit – This armor will not be available through the Eververse or the Season Pass

With these adjustments, players who prove themselves in the toughest challenges of Destiny 2 will also have something to show off and be proud of. The armor planned for the Eververse from Season 11 (summer 2020) will, for example, be part of the challenging armor pursuit.

Eververse Cash Shop Season 10 Destiny 2
Soon you will be able to secure some of the Eververse rewards through skill.

This is how the Eververse is set to change:

  • Starting in Season 12 (autumn 2020), there will no longer be ships, ghost shells, sparrows, or armor ornaments in the Eververse that visibly relate to aspirational activities
  • Legendary weapon ornaments will no longer be sold in the Eververse
  • More opportunities to earn Glimmer (earnable Eververse currency) will be introduced
  • Glimmer rewards will trend towards account-wide rewards. This way, players with only one character will not be at a disadvantage
  • Glimmer engrams from the Season Pass will soon contain Year 3 items that were previously available for Silver or Glimmer from the Eververse

The adjustments to the cash shop, which has been criticized by many players, are likely to make many Guardian hearts beat faster. Recently, MeinMMO author Sven Galitzki has addressed these very topics:

von Sven Galitzki

Strikes, Crucible and Gambit receive new loot

These loot adjustments are coming for core activities: Whether you are a fan of PvP, PvE, or PvEvP – you can look forward to this new loot:

  • Starting in Season 12, there will be a new quest weapon every season (comparable to the ritual or pinnacle weapon system)
    • This weapon can be earned by playing your favorite core playlist.
    • It will have activity-specific legendary skins that can be unlocked in each playlist.
  • New armor sets for strikes, crucible, and gambit will be released with each major annual expansion
  • The gear will be designed and shaded in accordance with the corresponding activities
d2 HCs Luna Not Forgotten
Will the new quest weapons measure up to the pinnacle weapons like Luna’s Howl or Not Forgotten?

Interestingly, the new “quest weapons” will likely be earnable through all activities and can be customized with special skins. These powerful weapons are a carrot in front of the nose for many Guardians, who can chase them and are painfully missed at the start of Season 10. New loot from core activities is a constant wish of the community.

What do you think of the changes? Do the toughest activities of Destiny 2 pay off for you again and are you diving into battle for cool cosmetics and items? Friends of cool aesthetics will be especially happy with the newly announced transmog feature for armor.

Steam hit Wolcen loses almost all its players – This is how they want to win them back

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

The Hack and Slay Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem launched extremely strong on Steam in February. However, almost all players are gone now. The team has plans on how they want to bring the fans back.

How is Wolcen doing currently? The action RPG was released on February 13 via Steam. As you can see from Steamcharts, it amazed a lot of players at launch. In February, 31,746 players played Wolcen at the same time. The peak was even at 127,542 players!

However, by March, this number had reduced to less than half. Now, in the past 30 days, only around 1,803 players are online simultaneously on average.

One can say that Wolcen has almost lost all its players within three months.

Wolcen Steamcharts May 2020
The player numbers of Wolcen have dropped significantly according to Steamcharts.

Wolcen has its problems

What is the reason for this drop? Wolcen already struggled with problems at the beginning. These manifested in connection drops, servers being unreachable, players losing items or even characters in online play, and bugs increased after Chapter 2.

The developers have been working hard since then to improve the Hack ‘n Slay. However, players still complain about bugs. Furthermore, the endgame with city building cannot motivate for long. And fans have to wait a longer time for new content.

How do the developers want to bring players back? The team announced some time ago plans on how they want to take care of Wolcen. Initially, there is a phase of improvement and optimization. Only thereafter will new content be released. Patches are planned until July.

  • May – 1.0.14
  • June – 1.0.15
  • July – 1.0.16

With the update 1.1.0, which is supposed to come after 1.0.16 at an unspecified time, a seasonal event called “Chronicle” will come into play. Additionally, the update 1.1.0 will bring the following:

  • New damage types in the skill modifiers
  • A revision of damage scaling
  • Improvements to the Gate of Fates
  • Search functions in the passive skills tree

What is Chronicle? The seasonal event introduces a world that is only available for a limited time. You create a new hero that faces challenges in this world and thus obtains special items.

Wolcen Demon
Wolcen urgently needs new content. The fights against the same enemies are slowly getting boring.

Content follows, but too late?

What happens after? After the update 1.1.0, further content is expected to follow, including the next chapter in the story. However, these contents do not yet have a release date.

What is the problem? For almost the entire summer, there are only bug fixes and optimizations. Only no earlier than August will the first new content follow. Will the fans hold out until then and will the seasonal event be enough to encourage players to return? It could be possible, and one would wish for a kind of second spring for Wolcen.

Until the Hack and Slay Wolcen hopefully gets back on track, you can still check out other action RPGs. For that, you should best read the MeinMMO list of the 9 new Hack and Slays coming in 2020 to bridge the wait for Diablo 4.

The Faces of MeinMMO

Who is part of the team? The team of MeinMMO has grown in recent years and has undergone many changes. Here is an overview with information about all members. You can ask them questions specific to their area.

[toc]

Management

fragt meinmmo dawid

Dawid Hallmann: Dawid is the founder of MeinMMO, who established the site in 2013 and has continued to expand it. He now leads the team leaders of MeinMMO, GameStar, and GamePro into the future as Head of Digital Publishing at Webedia Gaming.  

Some say that the concept of “free time” is completely foreign to Dawid and that he is always working. However, this is not true, as he was spotted in Cuba riding a donkey and, erm … giving instructions to the team.

fragt meinmmo schuhmann

Gerd Schuhmann: If you have ever been on MeinMMO, you have certainly read at least one article by Schuhmann. As editor-in-chief, he not only writes articles himself but also checks the content published on MeinMMO daily and coordinates the editorial team.

For a long time, there were rumors on MeinMMO that Schuhmann is not a human but an artificial intelligence. However, we can assure you that these rumors have no basis. Beep beep.

fragt meinmmo leya

Leya Jankowski: Like many other employees, Leya originally started as a freelance author on the site in 2016. She is now the brand manager and has her fingers in many pies. She directs many processes behind the scenes and is also keen on new, exciting games that fit our site and you, our readers.

Leya enjoys playing action RPGs like Monster Hunter and multiplayer shooters in her free time. However, her special passion is writing dinosaur guides for Ark Survival Evolved. /SarcasmOff.

Technology

fragt meinmmo ben

Ben Kahl-Grasenack: Most of you have probably never heard of Ben, yet the site would not function properly without him. As a senior web developer & technical lead PHP, he ensures that everything runs smoothly both when reading articles and writing in the backend at MeinMMO every day.

Ben is the only person in the MeinMMO team with scientifically proven superpowers. When Irie rushes to him again because something isn’t working on the site, he only needs to snap his fingers like Thanos.

Editorial Board

fragt meinmmo Patrick

Patrick Freese: Patrick is also one of the oldest team members at MeinMMO. Since 2015, he has been posting articles on various topics in the gaming field every day. He also takes on organizational tasks and supports Schuhmann in team coordination.

In the secret circles of the editorial team, Patrick is also known as the Photoshop professional to turn to when a poor title image needs to disappear from the site and be replaced by a better one. Discreet and unobtrusive.

fragt meinmmo alex

Alexander Leitsch: Before landing here, Alex ran his own fan site for Guild Wars 2. At MeinMMO, he mainly handles the area of MMORPGs and also helps in the organizational field.

According to his own statement, Alex has played almost every free MMORPG that has come out in the last 15 years. Nevertheless, he manages to be surprisingly bad at it.

fragt meinmmo jürgen

Jürgen Horn: Before his work here, Jürgen wrote for many other gaming sites and gained experience. At MeinMMO, he writes about the latest topics in the gaming sector regardless of genre. Because he can.

In the gaming industry, Jürgen is feared due to his curse. It is said that every game he really enjoys will meet a terrible fate in the near future. But probably this is just superstition within the editorial team; his beloved ESO is doing well.

fragt meinmmo noah

Noah Struthoff: Noah is one of the authors who comes from the MeinMMO community; he was once a reader himself. Now, he writes news about all topics and also supports the team with organizational questions. He also manages the large Pokémon GO group of MeinMMO on Facebook.

According to a legend, since the launch of Pokémon GO in 2016, Noah has caught so many Pokémon that Niantic’s servers couldn’t handle it and crashed. Since then, he has his own dedicated Noah server.

fragt meinmmo irie

Irina Moritz: Irie first joined MeinMMO in January 2018, initially writing news about Asian MMORPGs such as Final Fantasy XIV and later Lost Ark. She has now taken over community management and provides you with articles about the MeinMMO community.

Pro tip: Never bring up the subject of Final Fantasy with Irie. Once she gets started, she won’t stop. It’s like with conspiracy theorists; just don’t go there.

Freelancers

fragt meinmmo cortyn

Cortyn Nightshade: The only person in the MeinMMO team who has been there longer than Cortyn is the founder, Dawid. As the veteran and our demon of the service, Cortyn takes care of all news related to Blizzard, with a focus on WoW.

There are legends about the epic meme battles between Cortyn and Schuhmann in the editorial chat. Although the number of victories probably tends to favor Cortyn.

fragt meinmmo sven

Sven Galitzki: If you have read news about Destiny or The Division on MeinMMO, you will know Sven. The freelance author mainly takes care of online shooters and news about Sony products.

Few know that Sven was an officer in the Bundeswehr before his brilliant career at MeinMMO. He decided to hang up this extremely boring job because it is simply much cooler at MeinMMO.

fragt meinmmo benedict

Benedict Grothaus: If there is someone at MeinMMO who knows about survival games, it is Benedict. His specialty is Fallout 76. He started writing for the site as a freelance author in 2017 and deals with topics around survival games, competitive shooters, and esports.

Benedict’s beard has achieved legendary status in the editorial office. It has grown beautifully over the years. Every gaming editorial team should have a beard as epic as his.

fragt meinmmo andreas neu

Andreas Bertits: Andreas is also one of the oldest freelance employees of MeinMMO. He has been writing articles for the site since 2015. He covers everything related to MMOs and multiplayer genres.

Andreas is a super brain when it comes to MMOs and knows a lot about numerous areas because he enjoys discovering new worlds for himself. However, you can also ask him questions related to freelance journalism.

fragt meinmmo max

Max Handwerk: As a passionate football fan, Max is primarily responsible for crunchy news about FIFA games at MeinMMO. Otherwise, he is involved in all sorts of genres, whether on the PS4 or the Nintendo Switch.

One of Max’s greatest qualities is definitely his optimism. No matter how many truly terrible cards he pulls each week for his team at FIFA, he never gives up hope. Next week will definitely be better.

fragt meinmmo julian

Julian Schröder: When it comes to football and FIFA, Julian is one of the top people at Mein MMO. He started writing for the site in February 2019 and mainly deals with articles about EA’s sports game.

Julian himself claims to love his Nintendo Switch so much that he takes it everywhere with him. In reality, he can’t help it, as the Switch has practically grown onto him and would need to be surgically removed otherwise.

fragt meinmmo kevin

Kevin Nielsen: Since February 2017, Kevin has been looking for the hottest deals in gaming, hardware, and entertainment for MeinMMO. However, his true passion lies with Blizzard games, especially WoW.

Kevin is one of the deal hunters at MeinMMO. His instinct for deals and bargains is almost uncanny. It is rumored that he has “connections to the top.” However, where this mysterious “top” is located is not quite clear.

fragt meinmmo larissa

Larissa Then: Larissa originally joined the team to support us during the launch of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, which she plays passionately. However, she is also fascinated by ESO and has already written many articles about the MMORPG.

If you happen to find yourself in the same raid as Larissa, beware of rolling her the gear. To you, they may be “just some cloth shoes” but for Larissa, they are worth virtually throttling you. Really.

fragt meinmmo eilyn

Eilyn Rapp: If it comes to Fortnite, Eilyn is the expert at MeinMMO. She covers all news related to the popular battle royale game from Epic and plays it a lot in her free time. However, she doesn’t miss out on some rounds of GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 either.

Although Eilyn feels at home in Fortnite, the core feature of the game still gives her headaches. Ironically, building does not quite work for her in the battle royale. She has come to terms with it by now.

fragt meinmmo maik

Maik Schneider: The shooter expert Maik takes aim at all games where you hold a weapon in your hands. He joined MeinMMO in September 2019 as a freelance author and has since written guides and analyses for many current shooters like CoD MW or The Division 2.

Maik is always in a good mood and loves to tell funny life stories. However, at the end of a story, one often doesn’t remember what it was actually about in the beginning. Nonetheless, laughter is guaranteed.

fragt meinmmo phil

Philipp Hansen: If you have read news about Destiny 2 on MeinMMO, there is at least one article by Phil among them. He joined the team to support our Sven and mainly takes care of shooters such as Destiny 2 and CoD MW.

When Philipp tells you about his incredible raid adventures in Destiny 2, you should be cautious. Because in 50% of the cases, they are, indeed, incredible. To lighten the mood, he often talks nonsense.

fragt meinmmo benedikt

Benedikt Schlotmann: Benedikt has been a freelance author at MeinMMO since July 2019 and writes about everything related to hardware. When something happens with the PS5, Xbox Series X, or other exciting topics in the hardware world, he is there with news about it.

As is often the case with us nerds, Benedikt regularly serves as the “technician of the day” for the entire family. His specialty is to support his mother and sister from 300 kilometers away.

fragt meinmmo sascha

Sascha Asendorf: Sascha is the newest member of the MeinMMO team, providing you with articles on various survival games. In his free time, he also enjoys playing Minecraft, where he once rebuilt a huge WoW city.

In fact, Sascha had so much fun with his Minecraft project that he now wants to tackle the next one. So look forward to his lifelike reproduction of all of Azeroth in about 30 years. /SarcasmOff.

Destiny 2 for PS5, Xbox Series X officially confirmed – What does this mean for Destiny 3?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

Bungie casually announced the loot shooter Destiny 2 for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Now the community is speculating about possible next-gen optimizations and the impact on a potential Destiny 3.

This has been announced by Bungie: The development studio reacted to a tweet from Microsoft. Microsoft stated that hundreds of games are currently in development for the Xbox Series X. In response, Bungie tweeted, “Destiny 2 will also be released on next-gen platforms. Details to follow.”

So we don’t know when the game will be released for the next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X, or what optimizations it will receive, but we do know that it will definitely be released.

Destiny players hope for 60 FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series X

How are the players reacting? Surprisingly, the community of the loot shooter Destiny 2 does not find this unexpected. After all, rumors about this surfaced as early as June 2019, and it seems logical that Bungie wants to be present with an online game on the upcoming consoles.

The players hope that at least a consistent 60 fps will be achieved on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

  • usrevenge writes on reddit: “Surprise level: 0. Every major game will likely get next-gen versions.”
  • hookset3 on reddit says: “It would be incredibly foolish of Bungie not to release Destiny 2 for the next-gen consoles as soon as possible. I suspect we’ll hear more about Bungie’s plans soon.”
  • Metatermin8r on reddit hopes for a specific improvement: “I expect at least a 60fps patch. Frankly, it’s incomprehensible why we don’t have that yet for Xbox One X and PS4 Pro. Both could handle it.”
  • TVPaulD is skeptical on reddit about improvements: “A 60 Hz version would make it impossible to play with players who have old hardware. They would probably then allow crossplay with PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia to increase the population.”
destiny-2-merkur-sparrow-s9
Destiny 2 is also coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X. What will it look like on the next-gen consoles?

Destiny 3 seems far away – Some doubt it will even come

What about Destiny 3? The release of Destiny 2 on PS5 and Xbox Series X raises the question of what is happening with a release of Destiny 3? According to the grand master plan for Destiny, the launch of Destiny 3 should have long been overdue. Originally, a Destiny title was supposed to be relevant for only 2 years before the next one would appear. Destiny 3 was originally supposed to be released in 2017.

But that plan has changed a long time ago: We know that Bungie still has plans for year 4 (and beyond) in Destiny 2. Currently, we are in year 3 with Shadowkeep. A lot of content is still planned for the current game. Therefore, there are no concrete statements regarding Destiny 3 yet. Nevertheless, Destiny 2 is subject to technical limitations of the current console generation:

Bungie has also stated: Destiny 2 cannot continue to grow indefinitely like this.

destiny 3 pyramindenschiffe
The pyramid ships are likely to play a major role in the future of Destiny.

The community is now speculating about what the announcement of Destiny 2 for PS5 and Xbox Series X could mean for the release of part 3. That Destiny 3 will not come immediately with the launch of PS5 and Xbox Series X has been known since February 2020:

  • StrangelyOnPoint has a fascinating theory on reddit: “I wonder if they will eventually drop the number 2 from the title. Maybe when Destiny 1 goes offline…”
  • Ambient_Riot on reddit doesn’t believe in part 3 anymore: “Destiny 3 will probably not come. Destiny is now an MMO brand in Bungie’s eyes, which means they will continue to develop it until it reaches its end.”
  • Asami97 believes on reddit that we will just have to wait longer: “Destiny 3 will come, either in 2022 or 2023. Bungie wouldn’t have paid so much for the rights to the brand if they were going to stick with D2 indefinitely.”

Destiny 2 recently faced some criticism regarding cheating and the Trials. Bungie is aware of this and announced improvements. Initial plans are already known.

CoD Warzone: Heartbeat Sensor can currently kill you – Here you must be careful

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

The heartbeat sensor is considered one of the strongest tactical items in Call of Duty: Warzone. However, apparently, a bug can occur that turns this otherwise harmless item into a nasty weapon. But it only results in self-kills.

What problem are we talking about? The heartbeat sensor can currently be a deadly item. Normally, it only helps indirectly with kills. If you have one, you can regularly pull it out to check if there are enemies nearby – up to a range of 50 meters.

Now you can also score kills with the reconnaissance device … but only self-kills. Because the sensor doesn’t actually eliminate the displayed targets, but sends the user directly into the K.O. phase. In a solo BR match, the solo soldier then ends up directly in the Gulag or back in the main menu and has to search for a match again.

Actually, the device is considered the best tactical item in Warzone. With such unpredictable behavior, the sensor loses a lot of value. Check out how the glitch looks and what you might be able to do about it.

Heartbeat sensor knocks out the user.

What does that look like? The Redditor “csvolts” shows gameplay of the bug and documents the glitch:

Link to the Reddit content

In a tunnel under the Verdansk airport, he activated the sensor and wanted to check if something hostile was nearby. But instead of the prospect of a kill, he suddenly received a strong hit from an unknown direction and lay on the ground.

Since “csvolts” was separated from his team, it took a moment for them to revive him. Still mindful of the fact that he had just taken a hefty hit, he checked the heartbeat sensor again and a second later, he was hit again. This time, however, he noticed that the sensor must have had a short circuit or something. According to him, that was the last time he pulled out the heartbeat sensor in that match.

How widespread is the bug? At the moment, there haven’t been too many affected games. However, the glitch has been in the game for at least a week (thread on reddit) and it may have come with the big update 1.20 on April 29, which unfortunately also brought some other bugs.

cod warzone equipment heartbeat sensor
The heartbeat sensor. Initially quite useful, but now also deadly.

Probably only lootable devices affected

Can I do something about it? In the thread about the glitch, some users report their experiences with the problem. According to “bigm1ke”, who also had the problem a few days ago, only the “lootable” heartbeat sensors are broken.

He was also knocked out by his found sensor. However, after he got his loadout from the supply crates, the new sensor worked perfectly. However, this could be a one-off case.

So be a little cautious in the next while and test the sensors near your teammates. In solo rounds, you might want to completely avoid found heartbeat sensors and only use your variant from the loadout.

In addition, the counter perk “Ghost” sometimes has a small glitch and players can be shown on the heartbeat sensor despite the perk.

So far, there has been no statement from the developers at Infinity Ward regarding the broken sensor. However, if this problem becomes widely known, it is expected that they will address this nasty glitch. But if this continues, the best gear and perks of Warzone will soon not provide such a big advantage anymore.

“WoW has become a game for casuals” – Is that actually true?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

World of Warcraft has become a game for casuals. But is that really true? Cortyn from MeinMMO thinks: No, that’s just a term that wannabe pros like to shout.

In the past 10-15 years, there have been several points that many players of World of Warcraft have pointed out. The most persistent of these is that WoW has increasingly become “casualized” over the years.

Before we delve deeper into this statement, we might want to clarify what exactly a “casual” is. Apparently, there is no clear definition of this, which is why it should probably be up for discussion.

What is a “Casual Gamer”?

What is a Casual? My personal definition of a “casual” would be: A player who only occasionally has time for gaming (“Casual Gamer” = occasional player). This could be once a month or a few times a week for a few hours. A “casual” clearly differs from a “core gamer,” who typically plays a game more intensively and often even daily for several hours.

Short Dungeons as an Example of Casualization

A frequently cited example of supposed casualization is the length of dungeons. “Back in the day,” they always say, “Blizzard used to make long dungeons for us core gamers.”

And while it is true that many of the classic dungeons were relatively long (just think of the Blackrock Depths), it wasn’t Blizzard’s intention to design it that way for hardcore players. The long dungeons were created under the assumption that players would only enter a dungeon once. The idea of dungeons being revisited over and over again was simply not part of the original planning.

WoW Dungeon bosses title
Dungeons in World of Warcraft are shorter than they were in Classic – but the trend began back then.

Even during the vanilla period, they moved away from this and incorporated shorter dungeons, such as the individual wings of Scholomance or the Scarlet Monastery.

Another misconception here is that a short dungeon is more aimed at casuals than core gamers.

Sure: A casual who only has an hour in the evening can only complete one dungeon. But a core gamer who has several hours can complete multiple dungeons (or the same dungeon multiple times) and thus farm specifically for their optimal gear. Shorter and repeatable dungeons benefit not only a casual but also a core gamer.

The necessary time for a single piece of content cannot be the decisive factor in whether a game content is “casual” or not. Otherwise, one would have to explain that a 5-minute arena match with a rating of 2400+ is definitely something for casuals, because it ends so quickly.

WoW PvP Arenabattle
If time is a factor for “casualization”, then arena matches would also have to be very casual.

Another good example against casualization was mentioned by OnkelBarlow on YouTube some time ago in one of his videos. Nowadays, almost every single group of enemies in a dungeon has multiple abilities, of which almost always one or two need to be interrupted, as long as the dungeon still has relevant difficulty. Barlow paraphrased it this way: “Probably every mob group in current dungeons has more mechanics than all the bosses from Molten Core combined.”

It is clear that World of Warcraft has broadened in recent years in terms of game modes and content. In addition to dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds, new content has been added, such as arena battles, further professions like archaeology, pet battles for pet collectors, island expeditions, war fronts, scenarios, and so on.

Easy Entry – Is that Casual?

The entry barriers for most content in WoW are quite low. Anyone can start a pet battle, and anyone can manage to sign up for an LFR raid with 2-3 clicks. And if that were all that WoW has to offer, one might speak of a casualization. But that is not the case.

WoW Elves Cheering azshara background title 1140x445
The entry into WoW is easy – but is mastering it?

Raids go up to mythic difficulty. The fights there are more complex than ever before. Multiple mechanics stack up, can overlap in certain intervals, and often require the attention of the entire group. A single mistake can lead to the death of the whole group.

Even dungeons have a (even endless) scaling difficulty. “Mythic+” dungeons at level 15 and above, which offer the best rewards, are surely far beyond what a “casual” can achieve with a group of other “casuals”.

This is not comparable to raids, as it was back in the

FIFA 20 TOTS: Here are the predictions for the La Liga Team of the Season So Far

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 20 comes today, on May 8th, the La Liga Team of the Season So Far. Here you will learn which players could be included in the La Liga TOTSSF.

Update: The La Liga TOTSSF is now known. You can find it here:

More on the topic
FIFA 20: La Liga Team of the Season is here – with Messi
von Julian Schröder

After the Community-, Premier League- and Saudi TOTSSF today the TOTS of the first Spanish league is coming. Recently, the Bundesliga TOTS was expected after the Premier League TOTS – but now the La Liga team has taken priority.

What it will look like exactly, we do not yet know. But with the predictions, we can already get a rough overview of the possible top cards.

What are TOTS cards? TOTS cards (or TOTSSF this year) are extremely strong special cards that typically come into play at the end of the FUT season in Ultimate Team. New teams with extremely upgraded TOTSSF cards are regularly released.

The forecast for the La Liga TOTSSF

These predictions come from futhead:

This is how the La Liga TOTSSF could be set up

Goalkeeper:

  • GK: Oblak (Atletico Madrid)
  • GK: Courtois (Real Madrid)

Defenders:

  • LB: Reguilon (FC Sevilla)
  • CB: Ramos (Real Madrid)
  • CB: Varane (Real Madrid)
  • RB: Carvajal (Real Madrid)
  • CB: Pique (FC Barcelona)
  • RWB: Emerson (Real Betis)

Midfielders:

  • RF: Moreno (Villareal)
  • CDM: Casemiro (Real Madrid)
  • CM: Kroos (Real Madrid)
  • RF: Messi (FC Barcelona)
  • CM: Parejo (Valencia)
  • LF: Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad)
  • RF: Ocampos (Sevilla)
  • CM: Saul (Atletico Madrid)
  • CAM: Odegaard (Real Sociedad)
  • CM: Cazorla (Villareal)
  • RM: Fekir (Real Betis)

Forwards:

  • ST: Benzema (Real Madrid)
  • ST: Suarez (FC Barcelona)
  • ST: Perez (Alaves)
  • ST: Avila (Osasuna)

When is the release? The new Team of the Season So Far of the Spanish League is released today, May 8th at 7:00 PM in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team and will be available in packs for one week.

How to get the new TOTSSF cards

From packs: You can generally find TOTSSF cards in these packs:

However, the chance of pulling a TOTSSF card is very low. Playing the Weekend League is currently much more worthwhile.

On the transfer market: Additionally, you can buy TOTSSF cards on the FUT transfer market. However, do not jump to conclusions right away, as prices often drop significantly after a few days.

Destiny 2 introduces an armor feature that many wish for – proper transmog

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny 2 finally receives one of the most requested armor features in Year 4, something many players have longed for – a transmog system.

Destiny 2 offers numerous ways to customize your Guardians visually according to your ideas and wishes. However, a popular customization feature has so far been denied to the Guardians – at least in full.

What Guardians have been wishing for since Destiny 1: As Franchise Director Luke Smith stated in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, Destiny 2 will receive a transmogification system – short Transmog.

The introduction is supposed to take place during Year 4 (starting in Fall 2020), but the feature is still in early development, according to Smith.

destiny 2 shadowkeep vex armor guardian
Soon players will be able to look as cool as they want

Transmog remains one of the most requested features for Destiny. Although a version of the system already exists in a stripped-down form – the universal ornaments – many Guardians feel that these have too many restrictions on their use (more on that shortly). However, this seems to change.

By the way, Bungie has already revealed some additional things about Year 4: Don’t miss anything – How Bungie plans to improve the seasons

How does Transmog work? The transmog feature will allow players to transform their armor pieces into universal ornaments. These can then be applied to other armor pieces, thus changing their appearance. The target item will receive the look of the item from which the ornament was created.

You will soon be able to take the look of your favorite armor everywhere

The transformation of armor into universal ornaments is supposed to be enabled through in-game achievements or through Silver (real money currency). There have been no further details so far. Additionally, it seems that the feature is only intended for armor pieces – weapons have not been mentioned in this context.

Furthermore, starting from Season 12, i.e., the start of Year 4, among other things, no armor ornaments will be sold whose look is visibly based on certain in-game activities. Transmog will thus play an important role if you want to transfer the look of your (hopefully) stylish new raid armor to other armor pieces.

This is what Destiny 2 offers at the moment: Currently, Destiny 2 already has a form of transmog system – albeit a stripped-down light version.

While you can change the look of armor pieces using universal ornaments, a part of Armor 2.0, these ornaments mostly come from the Eververse or the Season Pass. Better said from Eververse armor sets.

destiny-2-last-wish-raid

At the moment, there is no way to transfer the look of raid armors or cool armor pieces from the open world to other armor items.

However, many players want exactly that. Many see the universal ornaments as just a step in the right direction. However, the system does not go far enough, according to numerous Guardians it has not been thought through consistently. One should be able to transfer the look of any armor to any other with better stats. And that is exactly what Bungie wants to enable in Year 4.

What do you think about it? A long-overdue step you are looking forward to? Or does this upcoming change leave you completely cold?

Böhmermann explains why he pushed Twitch streamers into the right corner

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

The satirist Jan Böhmermann explained in a podcast why he pushed the community of the German Twitch streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris into a right-wing corner. He believes that the streamer must be aware of his reach to counteract right-wing tendencies. Böhmermann considers the radicalization of gamers to be a real danger.

This was the reason for the anger: The satirist Jan Böhmermann had talked in his podcast “Fest&Flauschig” about the largest German Twitch streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris and his community, pushing them into a politically right-wing corner.

Böhmermann stated that Twitch is full of MontanaBlack fans and “even further right-wing neo-Nazis” who try to lure the MontanaBlack community.

MontanaBlack reacted to this statement during his stream with surprise and negativity: He accused Jan Böhmermann of being jealous of him and seeking attention with the attack.

Schulz & Böhmermann attacked by angry fans

These were the reactions from the podcasters’ perspective: Böhmermann and Schulz reported in the podcast “Fest&Flauschig” on May 5 about the incident and the reactions (via spotify). They talked about angry direct messages and voice messages from young and outraged MontanaBlack fans.

Musician Olli Schulz said: After he had a conversation with MontanaBlack and he declared him a “friend” on Twitter, people suddenly started to politely apologize to him. Shortly before, they had wished his mother dead.

Schulz and Böhmermann see this rapid change in tone as a sign of how easily MontanaBlack fans can be influenced.

Olli Schulz reports about the conciliatory phone call with MontanaBlack and relativizes Böhmermann’s accusations:

I have never heard a right-wing extremist expression or anything from him [MontanaBlack]. And he also said […], that this one photo, which exists and about which there were some reports with “Thor Steinar” people, might not belong to his greatest moments.

Olli Schulz in the podcast Fest&Flauschig

Schulz refers to a photo showing MontanaBlack with members of the motorcycle club “Nordmänner MC”. In the photo, one of the men was wearing a tracksuit from the brand “Thor Steinar”. This clothing brand is considered a hallmark of the far-right scene.

“Of course not all MontanaBlack fans are neo-Nazis”

This is what Jan Böhmermann says now:

Böhmermann initially approached the incident ironically. He said it slipped out while he was sitting in his gaming chair playing Mario Kart on his gaming computer. When he plays, he often says things like that, something gamers can surely relate to.

Boehermann Coin Master title 1140x445
The satirist Jan Böhmermann has already addressed issues in gaming.

Later, Böhmermann noticeably addressed the problem more seriously.

He sees the issue that Twitch streamers have incredibly high reach and that their audience often consists of young men who are easily influenced. The whole area is unregulated.

The gaming community is a breeding ground for people who have “evil in mind.”

Therefore, streamers like MontanaBlack have a great responsibility:

I don’t think they are neo-Nazis or right-wing extremists. There has to be an awareness in a community with such people and such a group that this is a real danger and not one that I just imagine, but one that has already led to serious matters in the past few years, such as rampage shootings. The attack in New Zealand last year. That was a guy who live streamed during his attack – I mean, it was on Twitch.

Jan Böhmermann in the podcast Fest&Flauschig

In a March 2019 attack in New Zealand, 49 people lost their lives. The perpetrator called out in a Facebook livestream “Subscribe to PewDiePie.”

A German perpetrator, who carried out a terrorist attack in Halle in October 2019, broadcast his act on Twitch.

von Schuhmann

Twitch is unregulated, therefore streamers have great responsibility

Böhmermann elaborated that Twitch is an unregulated platform where no one is keeping an eye. There is no governmental authority regulating it. This attracts people who do things with the platform that they shouldn’t be doing.

As a community or as a streamer with an incredibly high reach, one should be careful and aware of one’s influence.

Especially since there is a small portion of people who have become radicalized. They try to fish people out of the community. According to Böhmermann, it lies with the leaders of the community, the stars, to take responsibility:

[…] It’s not: If you are a gamer, you are a right-wing extremist. And not: If you like MontanaBlack, you are a right-wing extremist. But these communities have been small, grew large, and the responsibility that the people who lead these communities have is often not clear to them. And there are a few candidates in the YouTuber community who are really aware of it. And there are also a few who simply don’t care. And that is the fundamental problem.

Jan Böhmermann in the podcast Fest&Flauschig
Twitch-MontanaBlack-Arme
MontanaBlack is by far the largest German Twitch streamer.

Böhmermann is concerned about gamer boys who want to be radical and become radicalized

This is what Böhmermann is essentially about: The difficulty is the possible radicalization of young players while playing online games, Böhmermann says, and those who think it’s cool to perform in a group.

Böhmermann talks about a “well-kept 48-hour shift Fortnite,” where one can become emotional and a bit more extreme. One might let slip an ironically meant “Heil Hitler.” This then attracts people with political intent. They lured aimless boys who wanted to outdo each other.

Some wanted to be even more ironic and extreme. And then you have “3 boys in the channel who are no longer harmless boys,” Böhmermann said.

Eventually, irony can turn into seriousness. That is a real danger. Böhmermann wants “the stars” to take more responsibility and be aware of their influence on young viewers.

The Twitch streamer MontanaBlack is the largest Twitch streamer in Germany with 2.53 million followers.

He reached a peak on Twitch in September 2019, when he was No. 2 in watched hours among all streamers worldwide. A mix of gambling streams and FIFA 20 brought great success. In September 2019, he had an average of 50,000 viewers – at times there were 181,600 simultaneous viewers.

LoL changes balance between lanes significantly – Bot wins, Mid loses

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

The developers of League of Legends are currently planning a major overhaul aimed at equalizing the strength of the Mid and Bot Lane. Major buffs for the AD carries are planned, while nerfs are expected in the middle.

What is Riot planning? Mark “Scruffy” Jetter, the Lead Designer of LoL, mentioned in a blog post that the developers aim for all lanes to be approximately equally strong.

“In the current situation, we see that the Top Lane has improved significantly compared to previous seasons, while the Jungle has remained strong,” Scruffy revealed (via LoL website). The Mid Lane, however, is currently considered too strong, while the Bot Lane could use a buff.

Exactly that is set to happen in the upcoming updates.

Perkz-Caps-1140x445
Caps and Perkz, the two professionals from G2 Esports, can each play both in the middle and the Bot Lane and freely switch between them.

All ADCs will be buffed, just like their items

What changes are coming to the Bot Lane? In a follow-up tweet, Scruffy even revealed some specific changes for the Bot Lane:

  • The item Zeal should receive +3% additional attack speed.
  • The items Rapid Firecannon, Phantom Dancer, Static Shiv, and Runaan’s Hurricane should all receive +5% attack speed.
  • All AD carries should gain +30 health and an additional +5 health per level.

However, champions that can be played both in the Bot Lane and the Mid Lane will be exempt from the last update. These include champions like Corki, Graves, Kindred, and Quinn.

Which champions benefit from this? The currently most played AD carries in the Bot Lane hardly benefit from the changes. Senna, Ezreal, Varus, and Miss Fortune benefit more from direct damage than from attack speed.

Aphelios, one of the newer champions, is the exception to the rule. He usually builds Runaan’s Hurricane. Caps also utilized this during the finals of the LEC Spring Playoffs 2020 against Fnatic, which set a viewer record, but was relatively one-sided.

The changes could, however, bring back some currently rarely played ADCs like Caitlyn, Tristana, or Jinx, who would benefit more from the attack speed buff.

No concrete changes in the middle yet

What is happening in the Mid Lane? Scruffy has not yet announced any specific changes for the Mid Lane. However, it is clear to him that the middle should remain slightly stronger than the Bot Lane in the end.

Possible candidates for nerfs at the moment could be Talon, Diana, Katarina, and Ekko. They all have a high pick and win rate and are considered S or S+ in the Mid Lane according to the website Lolalytics.

LoL Talon Renegade Skin
Talon is currently among the strongest champions in the Mid Lane and could receive a nerf.

When will the changes be released? Currently, nothing has been seen from the changes on the test server for patch 10.10. Scruffy also mentioned that the changes to the Bot Lane are planned for the following update 10.11.

The update is expected to be released on May 28, provided the current patch schedule is maintained.

Just recently, patch 10.9 was released, which fixed a nasty exploit with Ornn. This, however, resulted in the banning of 3,300 cheaters.

Borderlands 3: New hotfix improves loot in Mayhem 2.0

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Borderlands 3 there is a new hotfix available. This continues the “Loot the Universe” event and addresses two issues.

This is the hotfix: The new hotfix went live on Thursday evening, May 7. Whether it is already active for you can be seen by the “Hotfixes Applied” sign that pops up after a few seconds in the main menu.

The new hotfix is comparatively small this week. There are no changes to balancing or completely new content.

However, the hotfix still ensures that you are provided with better loot.

Mayhem 2.0
In Mayhem 2.0 you should find more weapons again

Hotfix corrects Mayhem 2.0, continues Loot Event

This is what the hotfix addresses: After Borderlands 3 remodeled its entire endgame with the Mayhem 2.0 Update, some bugs occurred. Some of these were already addressed last week. However, everything does not seem to be resolved yet.

The current hotfix addresses loot issues at the different Mayhem levels. Because at times, the chaos levels dropped too weak weapons – this was particularly criticized by players at levels Mayhem 7 to 10.

With the new hotfix, the drop rate is supposed to be corrected. This should make excursions to the hardest levels of the chaos mode worthwhile again.

Graveward
Graveward should hopefully no longer drop loot off the map

Additionally, loot sometimes simply fell off the map when defeating Graveward with an active Giant Head modifier. This should no longer happen.

Here “Loot the Universe” continues: After initially taking place on Pandora and then on Promethea, the “Loot the Universe” event now continues on Eden-6. For one week, there is now extra loot here, which is distributed across the different zones of the planet depending on the type of weapon.

At the same time, the cartel revenge event continues. In this, you can continue to lay waste to Joey Ultraviolet’s villa – a quest that MyMMO author Jürgen Horn has particularly enjoyed lately.
