Destiny 2: Many armors of Season 10 are useless – This is how Bungie will change it

Season 10 of Destiny 2 brought back a lot of popular armors, but they have a significant disadvantage that Bungie will soon fix.

What is the problem with the new armors? With the launch of the Season 10, many armors from the early days of Destiny 2 celebrated their return to the game. While popular armors like the faction gear have been upgraded to the current “Armor 2.0” level, they have a significant drawback: They lack the seasonal mod slot.

In this slot, the most powerful modifications are inserted, such as those from the artifact. Our most powerful builds of Season 10 can only utilize seasonal mods.

Bungie itself commented on this in the Twab (March 27) stating that the armors are “less desirable and not worth adding to your loadout, even though you were very excited about the return of your favorite armor sets from the past.”

The returning classics miss the seasonal mod slot

This is what Bungie is changing: In the same post, Bungie presents the solution to the armor problem. The essential seasonal mod slots will be added retroactively.

The three group sets (faction armors) will receive “Season of Worthy” mod slots. The rest of the armor will receive “Season of Dawn” or “Season of the Undying” mod slots.

“Season of Dawn” mod slots (Season 9) will get these sets:

  • Irreverent Recovery
  • Retro-Grade TG2
  • Heiro Camo
  • Roadmap AA1
  • Destruction Complex
  • Noble Complex

“Season of the Undying” mod slots (Season 8) will get these sets:

  • Redmoon Phantom
  • Rescuer Simulation
  • Thorium Glade
  • Weaving Web
  • Spender
  • Frumios
  • Noble Size Type 2
  • Ego Claw IV
  • Wandering Knight
  • Kerak Type 2
  • Philomath

Note that since Season 10, seasonal mod slots can accommodate mods from 3 seasons. The season from which the armor originates, mods from the previous one, and also mods from the following season. This means that armors from the Season of Worthy can use mods from Season 10, Season 9, and Season 11.

Fix for armors and issues in the Trials is coming

When will the change come? The changes to the armors are planned for April. Bungie has not yet specified a precise date for the update, but we will keep you informed here on MeinMMO.

Armor Team Faction Destiny 2
Since Season 10, the popular faction armor is back

These changes will come next week: An update (Hotfix 2.8.0.2) is scheduled to be released on March 31 during the reset and will address several issues. In addition to the loot bug in the Trials of Osiris, the following issues will also be fixed:

  • A problem was fixed where season pass upgrades were only unlocked for one character; they are now properly unlocked for the entire account.
  • A problem was fixed where the first weekly clearing of a Legendary “Lost Sector” did not grant a powerful reward.
  • The issue was fixed where players could hold Raiju’s Harness indefinitely in Whirlwind Shield.
  • A problem was fixed where the Titan gauntlet ornament from the season pass restricted first-person view.
  • Season pass submachine guns and shotguns now create Warmind cells when season pass ornaments are equipped.
  • A problem was fixed where Sentinel Titans could extend their Sentinel Shield/Banner Shield by suppressing themselves.
  • A problem was fixed where players received an incorrect number of planetary materials from bunker upgrades.
The loot bug in the Trials is set to become a thing of the past

What do you think of the planned changes? Which returning armor set is your favorite? If you prefer to hunt for the armor from the current Iron Banner, you should also earn the only ritual weapon from Season 10 in the PvP event.

Call of Duty: Warzone and CoD: Modern Warfare have received the new update 1.18 today on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. We show what new content you can expect now and take a look at the patch notes.

What is the new update about? Since early this morning, shortly after 7:00 AM German time, a new patch is available for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and its in-house Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone on all platforms – Update 1.18.

This update was initially scheduled to be released earlier this week on March 24, but was postponed by the developers. Now it is finally here.

The new update is about 11.4 GB in size on PS4. But what’s really inside?

CoD Modern Warfare and Warzone Update 1.18 – The Patch Notes

These are the new contents: From a new Operator to limited-time playlists to completely new modes – there is quite a bit included.

  • The Coalition now has a new Operator – Talon
  • The map Khandor Hideout – the last new map announced so far in the Season 2 for MW. This can now be played as a 24/7 playlist in the regular multiplayer of CoD: Modern Warfare.
  • New Night Vision Infected multiplayer mode. The popular Infected format is played in the dark. Survivors have thermal vision and a limited night vision battery, infected can see in the dark. Additionally, realism rules are active there.
  • New mode Plunder: Blood Money – There are guaranteed cash drops after every kill. Extra cash can be gained through contracts and finishing moves. So you can leave the field much faster as a winner than in the standard playlist.

Changes that have been made: Here we list some of the most important changes that have come to the game with update 1.18:

  • In Warzone, you can now find 4 new weapons: the 725 shotgun, MK2 carbine, EBR-14 marksman rifle, and the .50GS pistol. You can now find these firearms distributed throughout Verdansk and in supply boxes.
  • The price for loadout drops in Warzone has been increased. Instead of the previous $6,000, it now costs $8,500. This means you will need to sweat more to call in and use your personal loadouts. By the way, you can try this loadout directly: CoD Warzone: Loadout of the “human aimbot” shroud – This is his recommendation
  • If you shoot a player in Warzone incapacitated (crawling on their knees) and they leave the match, this will now count as an elimination. Additionally, players will drop their loot immediately after disconnecting and will not simply vanish into thin air.
  • The maximum flight time of crossbow bolts has been increased from 3 to 6 seconds, allowing for shots at greater distances with the crossbow.
  • In addition, there have been numerous bug fixes and stability improvements for nearly all areas of the game, from the campaign, through the battle royale “Warzone”, to regular multiplayer and the co-op mode SpecOps.

Rainbow Six Siege: Players demand an apology for really ugly skins

The popular tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege has received a new Battle Pass. In this, there are brand new skins that buyers (and non-buyers) can unlock. However, they are not well received at the moment…

What is the problem? Since Rainbow Six: Siege received a new Battle Pass on March 25, players with this pass can unlock new skins and other contents by completing tasks and leveling up.

The skins , however, do not meet the expectation that Ubisoft had previously raised. Fans are angry and expect an apology, partly because they believe that much more work went into a previously available skin via Twitch Prime.

New Skins in the Battle Pass

What is the Battle Pass? With the new “Around the World: Battle Pass,” players can unlock various items over a total of 35 tiers from March 25 to April 22, 2020.

The Battle Pass is divided into two paths: free and paid. Those who want to buy the pass pay 1200 credits (approximately €9.99) or 860 credits if they own the annual pass.

Rainbow Six Siege Battle Pass

What skins are there? Skins in Siege roughly fall into three categories:

  • Helmets
  • “Outfit” (Chest Armor and Pants)
  • Weapons

In the free track, there are a total of three skin packs with random skins, as well as three special Battle Pass skins for the operators. The paid Battle Pass has significantly more. Just for purchasing, there is a complete outfit for the operator Castle.

This is the problem with the skins: For the additional skins, Ubisoft uploaded a teaser image in advance. This was supposed to roughly show what skins players could expect. However, a comparison on reddit shows that the skins in the game itself are not nearly as impressive as the concept art was. Fans are even calling for an apology:

In another another reddit thread with over 20,000 upvotes, players complain that far too little effort went into the skins. Instead of an often-requested outfit, there is just a new color for existing outfits.

Rainbow Six: Siege recently set a new player record.

Pizza Skin Causes More Unrest

What is this skin? Just shortly before the release of the Battle Pass, on March 24, Ubisoft introduced a pizza skin for the operator Mozzie. This can be obtained for free by any Twitch Prime user when linking their accounts.

However, players find that it does not fit into the game at all (via GameStar). There was already significant criticism for this.

Rainbow Six Siege Mozzie Pizza Skin

Here’s why players are now angry: Players are dissatisfied because they believe that even in this Mozzie skin, more work went into it. At least that is claimed by reddit user tallguyfilms in a comment rated with over 2,600 upvotes.

That such a skin seems to have cost more work and is still offered to many for almost free, while the new skins must be paid for with the Battle Pass, clearly does not sit well with players.

They see the new skins as only “recolors” of old skins, that is, the same skin that has already existed, with a new color.

Despite the current discontent, Rainbow Six remains very popular. Just recently, a player impressed tens of thousands with a perfect round.

Those who do not have a shiny of them yet can definitely hope that they will be more available starting tomorrow.

What about the event due to the coronavirus? According to Niantic, the event will take place as scheduled. So there will probably be no restrictions on the raid bosses. Only the return of Lugia had already been canceled a few days ago.

Recently, they had removed quests that cannot be completed from home. The Psychic quests may be adjusted accordingly. This will be seen at the start of the event.

Keep in mind that there is currently a risk of getting infected with the coronavirus for yourself and others. The Federal Centre for Health Education recommends staying at home as much as possible, keeping distance from others, and avoiding gatherings. Niantic has taken various measures so that you can play Pokémon GO from home .

3 tips to move faster in CoD Warzone and dodge bullets

If you want to survive long in the Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone or loot effectively, you need to be fast. We will show you some tips to help you move faster around the map while dodging bullets.

What are these tips? The tips will help you to be faster even without the various vehicles in Warzone. They especially focus on helping you reach other locations on foot faster without being taken down by opponents.

You don’t need any special requirements or settings for these tricks. Anyone can easily replicate them. However, having the right settings for Warzone can help you perform them better or react faster.

The YouTuber and CoD specialist TheXclusiveAce has packed these tips into a YouTube video and illustrated them. We have embedded the video here for you:

Tip 1: Use light weapons

Why should I use light weapons? In Modern Warfare, both in Warzone and in the other multiplayer modes, your movement speed depends on the weapon you have equipped.

Generally speaking: The smaller or lighter the weapon, the faster you move. When you sprint, you have 1.3 times the movement speed. With tactical sprinting (double-tapping the button) even the 1.5 times for a short time.

The multipliers refer to the base speed you have with the respective weapon. Only the weapon you have equipped counts. The weapons in your inventory are ignored.

What weapons are recommended? You are fastest with any type of pistol. Therefore, it’s advisable to have one of the strongest weapons for Warzone in your main hand and carry a pistol in your secondary hand. We can recommend:

  • .50 GS (Desert Eagle) for strong penetration even at longer distances
  • .357 as an alternative to the Desert Eagle
  • X16 – The strongest weapon of its kind in regular multiplayer

If you don’t want to carry a pistol in your secondary hand, submachine guns (SMGs) are a suitable alternative. It’s best to build a loadout that utilizes one of the mentioned weapons and buy it as early as possible to be faster.

Tip 2: Slide

How do I slide? When you are sprinting and press (or hold, depending on settings) the “crouch” button, you will slide for a brief moment. This allows you to glide over the terrain and interrupt your sprint.

The special thing is that after sliding you can activate tactical sprint again for a short time. It usually has to recharge after use.

However, TheXclusiveAce has found that this does not make you faster. Over a distance of 188 meters (half a grid square of the map), he takes exactly as much time as if he were sprinting normally.

What is the point then? The advantage is that during the slide, you shift your critical hit zone (head) in a fraction of a second, as well as completely change your hitbox (from vertical to horizontal).

cod modern warfare settings einstellungen bewegung rutschen

This leads to opponents being able to hit you less effectively. You effectively dodge bullets that a sniper is about to fire at you. If you alternate between sliding and sprinting at irregular intervals, it will be even harder for them to hit you.

Tip 3: The “Pro Method”

How does the method work? Ace discovered a method in his video that he has seen many CoD professionals using. In principle, it works just like the sliding from tip 2.

The difference is that immediately after sliding, you go briefly into aim down sights (ADS). This only needs to be a quick moment. This interrupts the delay after sprinting.

This makes you effectively faster. Ace was able to move 6.6% faster with this trick. If you want to reduce the time it takes to aim, you can find attachments that reduce ADS time here.

If you forgo a sight, you can aim faster.

What is the downside? The implementation is, on one hand, a bit more complicated and, on the other hand, takes some getting used to. Especially at the beginning, you may need to concentrate a lot just to sprint correctly.

In this time, it can happen that you overlook opponents or run into traps. Until then, it may be frustrating to adjust. However, after a while, the method should become second nature.

These tips should help you to be faster and safer on the move. However, they will only help if you need them in the current situation. If you simply want to reach a new location and are not under fire or pressure, it is sufficient to sprint normally. If you want to secure the victory, they will help you nonetheless – just like our 10 tips for Warzone.

As a major highlight, it brings the 2nd DLC for Borderlands 3. However, there is finally also an adjustment to the level cap, so you can level up again.

The patch is rounded off with numerous bug fixes and smaller adjustments.

Patch Notes for the new update

What is said about the DLC: There isn’t really any new information on this. It is merely stated that the new patch will bring the DLC to the servers.

This brings the 2nd DLC of Borderlands 3 into play, which introduces new locations and thus also previously unknown enemies.

All the info you need to know about the DLC “Guns, Love, and Tentacles” can be found here.

Borderlands-3-DLC-2

This is the situation regarding the level cap: As previously announced, a new maximum limit will be introduced at the level. You will now be able to reach level 57. Previously, you could only level up to 53.

Quick start for the DLC: With the update, a feature is also introduced that allows you to select the DLC directly from the menu – even if you create a new Vault Hunter. It will then be created directly at the level required for the DLC. The DLC is available from the point at which you can enter Sanctuary.

These fixes have been addressed: The update finally includes numerous smaller adjustments. Here are some highlights:

  • Storage errors during split-screen play have been fixed
  • Equipment lower than the level cap no longer drops when both the player and the opponent are at the level cap

In addition, there are tons of other fixes and adjustments. You can read them all in the Patch Notes on the Borderlands 3 website.

With the new DLC and the expanded level cap, Borderlands 3 is now exciting again. 3 good reasons for this can be found here.

The biggest streamer on Twitch pays girls to play Fortnite with him - It is awful

The Twitch streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney is one of the best players in Fortnite and the most successful streamer on Twitch. To entertain his audience, he now pays women to play Fortnite with him and teases them.

What is Tfue doing? Tfue (7.77 million followers) is looking for ways to offer his viewers something new even after months of Fortnite. His latest idea is to rent female players through a kind of online escort service to play Fortnite with him. Then he creates quite a commotion in his Twitch streams and the chat laughs at how they react to his antics.

There is a page where “E-Girls” offer their services: Players can rent them, pay a certain amount per round, and then play with the ladies.

Tfue immediately joked about the offer: “Hehe, I have never spoken to a woman before.”

This is how he trolls them: In a Fortnite match where only 2 players were left, Tfue announces “He has a plan” to win the match.

Then he jumps to his death and grins as he sees how the girls react when their chance of victory crashes on the hard ground of reality.

Tfue pretends that this is a terrible accident but grins from ear to ear.

In a second match, Tfue, one of the best Fortnite players in the world, jumps from one of the new Choppa to his death and then laughs when the e-girls get confused without him. One even runs into the storm with 5 HP.

When the e-girls realize they are in a channel with the biggest streamer in the world, one of them tries to promote her own Twitch channel. This seems to be a bit embarrassing for her. She looks awkward when she mentions the name of her stream.

Tfue makes a face and grimaces extensively. Tfue’s Twitch chat is laughing hard at this.

E-Girls as Content for the Biggest Twitch Streamer

What’s behind it: Tfue nearly exclusively played Fortnite during his rise to the top of Twitch. That didn’t make him very happy. In September 2019, when he was number 1 on Twitch, he said he was unhappy and took a longer break.

Unlike his rival, Ninja, Tfue is more of a pro-gamer than an entertainer. In the summer of 2019, he tried to qualify for the Fortnite World Cup in solo and duo and make a name for himself. Since that didn’t go too well and there are hardly any tournaments in Fortnite anymore, he seems to be a bit lacking in motivation.

At the moment, Tfue is looking for ways to entertain the viewers and seems to be a bit wild. Recently, he challenged Ninja to a fight in Mixed Martial Arts.

fortnite tfue egirls title
The eGirls are a welcome change for Tfue.

In recent weeks, Fortnite seems to have become a bit dull for the Twitch star, and he is also looking at other shooters like Z1 Battle Royale or Escape from Tarkov. He was even in Destiny 2 to mess around in PVP. Most of the time, Tfue is still active in Fortnite and is looking for ways to entertain his viewers.

The e-girls are welcome victims for him and his chat to mess around with. He has already had fun with them a week ago, pretending to be Ninja.

BioWare is working on a new AAA game – Will this be a Mass Effect?

Some indications suggest that BioWare is working on the next installment of the “Mass Effect” series. But where could the journey lead next?

After Mass Effect: Andromeda, the space franchise from BioWare has been quiet. However, there have been recurring rumors that the world of Mass Effect is not dead and that a new game will eventually come. Now, there are initial hints that this “eventually” is already in development.

What is this hint? BioWare and EA have had a new job posting on their website for a few days now, which has made some fans perk up. They are looking for a “Technical Director” who has experience in the development of AAA multiplayer games. According to the description, he will work on an upcoming title of the “most prestigious franchises of BioWare”.

BioWare is primarily known for the two game series “Dragon Age” and “Mass Effect”. Since Dragon Age 4 received a first teaser some time ago, development there seems to have been ongoing for quite a while. A “new game” could thus be Mass Effect, which is getting another spin-off.

Mass Effect 3 Banshee Asari

Why is multiplayer important? Even though “Mass Effect” has always been primarily a single-player game, multiplayer has been an integral part since Mass Effect 3 – having a Technical Director with multiplayer experience makes sense. In the multiplayer of Mass Effect 3, as well as in Andromeda, up to three friends fought against waves of enemies to earn better weapons, abilities, and new characters.

This was also a good opportunity for Mass Effect to make some extra money through microtransactions, as players could purchase additional boosts and loot boxes in multiplayer, which were also available through normal gameplay.

A multiplayer is therefore important for Mass Effect to keep players engaged with the game longer while generating more revenue.

The last title was a flop: The last installment of the “Mass Effect” series was quite a failure. Mass Effect: Andromeda was released in an unfinished state, and especially the poor and faulty facial animations made immersion in the game world nearly impossible. Although these and other bugs were fixed with some patches, the damage was done.

Additionally, Andromeda largely deviated from the original story of the first trilogy and thus missed exciting and beloved characters.

Planned DLCs were canceled and development was halted relatively early after release. Only a few multiplayer updates were still released.

Yet it was already said in 2017 that Mass Effect has a “beautiful future”.

Whether the next installment of the series can impress again will surely be revealed with time. The current job posting at least fuels the hope that Mass Effect could bloom once more.

Wastelanders: The update that should save Fallout 76 has been postponed again

The release of the huge Wastelanders update for Fallout 76 has been postponed. Like many game studios, Bethesda is currently suffering from the effects of the coronavirus crisis. Fortunately, fans probably do not have to wait much longer and show understanding.

When is Wastelanders coming out now? According to the latest information, the Wastelanders update is now set to release on April 14. That is a week later than originally planned. Previously, the update was already postponed to April 7.

Why the delay? The developers cite the current issues surrounding the coronavirus as the reason. This forces many employees to work from home, just as with other game companies, thus delaying development.

In a tweet from the official Twitter channel, it is stated that due to the circumstances, not as much testing could be done as the developers would have liked:

For some time now, selected players have been able to test Wastelanders on the new test server. Bethesda thanks them once again for that.

Wastelanders saves Fallout 76

Why Wastelanders is so important: Fallout 76 had a rough launch and several issues since its release in November 2018. Many fans of the Fallout series did not see what they wanted in the new installment and have bombarded the game with negative reviews.

A major criticism was the lack of NPCs with whom players could talk and interact. In Fallout 76, all NPCs are already dead when you start the game. Only holotapes and robots remain.

With Wastelanders, NPCs return and with them, the entire story of the game changes. Appalachia becomes populated again, the world livelier, and players must interact with people again, make decisions, and gain reputation with the new factions.

What do fans say about it? After Bethesda has faced numerous shitstorms, also due to delays and issues, the first reactions to the new situation are understanding.

Twitter user Tristan Hicks writes: “Hopefully you won’t receive any hate for this. That’s currently bigger than games.” Other users agree that it is more important to be safe right now and that this is the right decision.

Even if some fans seem to have been happy and are upset that they have to wait longer, they show understanding. User StrawHat Samurai writes: “Take your time, this is literally the test for your comeback. No rush, stay safe.”

FIFA 20: This is the best left-back for your FUT team – Here is how to get him

In FIFA 20 there is a left-back card that really stands out. We show you why Alex Sandro’s special card is so good.

Currently, there are not many left-back cards with endgame quality in FUT 20. Absolute top cards at this position belong more to the TOTY- or Icon cards. But Player Moments Sandro can easily keep up.

We’ll explain why.

This card is about: This is about the Player Moments card of the Brazilian left-back Alex Sandro. He plays for Juventus Turin (Piemonte Calcio) and has not been inundated with special cards so far. But recently EA released a really strong card of Sandro.

And this new special card is so strong that even some Icon cards cannot keep up.

This is how strong Player Moments Sandro is

This is what the card can do: In terms of overall rating, Sandro is currently ranked fourth among all FUT players in the left-back position with a rating of 91. Only Roberto Carlos (91 and 93) and TOTY Robertson (94) have stronger left-back cards. However, the overall rating is not the deciding factor here. If you look at the stats in detail, Sandro even outperforms these top players.

Because the Player Moments card of Sandro has really strong values in the right categories. He is lightning-fast, physically extremely strong, and can also shine with outstanding agility and good passing values. And at 1.80m, he has the ideal height for a left-back.

The Player Moments card is awarded for his victory in the Copa Libertadores 2011

If you compare his standard Gold card with his new Player Moments version, you can see gigantic jumps. Especially in these areas:

  • Speed: 83 -> 91
  • Passing: 77 -> 86
  • Dribbling: 80 ->87
  • Defending: 82 -> 89
  • Physical: 82 -> 91

This is how the card becomes even stronger: To make the card even better, it is advisable to use the “Anchor” chemistry style. This gives the card unbeatable 96 Pace and nearly maximum 97 points in defense. Additionally, physicality is greatly improved, which is a real plus for outside defenders.

In detail, it looks like this:

Here, especially the aggression (99), stamina (99), and strength (91) are convincing. But also the balance (83) and composure (89) are very strong for an outside defender.

That’s why you should get these cards: If you are looking for a top defender who has no weaknesses and currently fits perfectly into the FUT 20 meta, then you don’t need to look any further. Sandro has a card at endgame level. It is incredibly fast, has perfect defensive values, and can score with extremely strong physicality.

What more could you want in the left-back position?

He even outperforms direct competitors like the Prime Icon card of Roberto Carlos (around 900,000 coins). He is more robust, agile, and above all taller than Roberto Carlos.

If he fits into your team and you have the necessary funds, then complete the SBC and get this card. Because you currently can’t have anything better in the left-back position in your team.

This is how you get the card

This is what you need to do: To obtain this special card, you must complete three SBC tasks. The cool thing about this SBC: You have as much time as you want. The Squad Building Challenge has no expiration date.

The card is not cheap, but at around 500,000 coins, it is still a good bit below the competition. If you have a few strong untradeable cards, you can reduce the price a bit.

Task 1 – Brazil

These requirements must be met:

  • Brazilian players: At least 1
  • Team rating: At least 86
  • Team chemistry: At least 75
  • Number of players: 11

Here’s what a solution might look like:

Task 1 - Brazil
The solution costs you about 160,000 coins (PS4)

What will be fixed with the patch? The DPS glitch and issues with certain talents where abilities do not stack correctly.

Already in the last “State of the Game”, the Division community stream, the developers hinted that the DPS glitch is their top priority. This bug allows agents to unintentionally boost their damage and easily breeze through the toughest contents of the loot shooter. This is already the second attempt to eliminate this glitch, but players found a way to exploit the faulty mechanic again.

Additionally, annoying bugs with talents that allowed agents to stack their abilities more often and benefit from bonuses multiple times have been removed.

If you want to engage with Division 2 a bit during the downtime, you can find some interesting articles here:

WoW: Expert shows how crazy the XP boost is – Level 120 in 13 hours

Thanks to the experience boost, leveling in WoW is faster than ever. In less than 13 hours, your character can already be level 120.

In World of Warcraft, there are currently a lot of players leveling second characters. This is mainly because Blizzard has currently activated a huge XP bonus of 100%, making the leveling process incredibly quick. While many players report that they only needed just over a day of actual gameplay, the streamer DesMephisto shows that it can be done even faster. He only needs a little over 12 hours to reach max level.

Who is DesMephisto? In the WoW community, DesMephisto has already made a name for himself as “the crazy one who loves playing warriors.”

As early as August 2019, he had successfully leveled 41 warriors to level 120. His goal was to have a warrior for every race and both genders. Therefore, he knows leveling extremely well and has optimized his route. He loves habits and optimizations, which he attributes in part to his autism. He has also achieved one of our craziest achievements in WoW of all time with this.

WoW Diaperjuggs Level 120 Times

What has he done? DesMephisto has nearly perfected his leveling strategy over the years. He levels up exclusively through quests and only solo. He claims this is faster than leveling through dungeons, island expeditions, or timewalking. He has noteworthy times and achieves a total result of under 13 hours.

Level RangeTime for the RangeTotal Time
20-6003:08:58 hours03:08:58 hours
60-8002:47:26 hours05:56:24 hours
80-9001:35:56 hours07:32:20 hours
90-10001:32:18 hours09:04:38 hours
100-11000:57:43 hours10:02:21 hours
110-12002:27:02 hours12:29:23 hours

DesMephisto also admits that his route was not yet optimal. Due to the bonus XP, he could have been a bit more effective in skipping certain lengthy quests. He believes it’s possible to shave off another half hour or even an hour.

However, DesMephisto leveled an allied race, specifically a mechagnome. They start at level 20, which saves 1-2 hours of gameplay. So, anyone looking to level one of the standard races should plan for a little more time.

These tips you must consider: DesMephisto approaches this with extreme planning. Therefore, he not only has heirlooms (like most players) but has made even more preparations:

  • All heirlooms enchanted
  • A stack of bonus XP potions from Boralus / Dazar’alor
  • Sharpening stones for his weapons at all levels
  • War drums to have a “Battle Rush” every now and then
  • Goblin gliders to quickly bridge large distances
  • Various mount items to interact with loot while questing without having to dismount

Additionally, at levels 40, 60, 70, and 80, the best possible riding skill is purchased immediately to minimize travel times.

You can find more tips on fast leveling in World of Warcraft in our comprehensive leveling guide.

So much planning is of course close to the absolute maximum. But even if someone skips some of these tips, one should still reach the max level in well under a day’s playtime.

New survival MMO launches today on Steam: Offers cool aesthetics, hard concept

The new survival MMO Last Oasis celebrates its release today. Learn here what to expect and when exactly you can start playing.

What is Last Oasis? Last Oasis is a new survival MMO in which you have to fight against the sun. The Earth has stopped rotating, and the sun now continuously burns everything it shines on.

The last refuges are the oases, heavily contested by the surviving people. An important feature for fleeing from the sun is small and giant walkers made of wood, giving Last Oasis a bit of the flair of “Wild Wild West meets ARK“. We have included a first glimpse of the gameplay here for you:

When and where can I play it? Last Oasis releases today, March 26, for PC on Steam. It is playable since 5 PM.

The launch price is €20.74. Starting from April 2, 2020, the price will rise to €24.99. Here’s the Steam page of Last Oasis.

Survival MMO with a focus on PvP

How hard is survival? Although Last Oasis is a survival MMO, you mainly have to take care of water. Water is the most important resource in the game and is also needed for traveling, which you must do constantly.

You can build your own base, but it is not as stationary as in other survival MMOs. Since the sun constantly threatens to burn your home, you can simply pack it up and transport it on your walker to another oasis – which again requires water.

Last Oasis Butterfly Walker
The Butterfly Walker is one of the walkers you can use to transport goods or your home.

Accordingly, the oases are heavily contested, where the water exists. You fight not only against ape-like NPCs and huge boss enemies in the desert but also against other players to secure your survival.

How does PvP work? PvP is the main feature of Last Oasis, and the developers have already revealed that this will remain the case. Their fans want a hard fight against other players.

To that end, you either play alone or in small groups to engage in trade or piracy, or in large clans that can take over and protect entire oases. As a clan, you have the power to establish and enforce your own rules in each oasis.

An oasis (each a separate server) can hold up to 100 players at the same time. Enough space for large territorial battles even between clans.

The combat system is based on your own skill. You must independently indicate the directions of attacks and blocks through movements. Therefore, it is also important in PvP fights to weigh whether you want to engage immediately or rather look for a diplomatic way.

Last Oasis reminds New World Title 2

Last Oasis maintains the decision to be a hardcore PvP game. Amazon just stepped back from exactly this concept with their MMORPG New World at the end of 2019, which is why Last Oasis mocked it with a tweet.

If you are looking for survival MMOs and games that do not focus so much on player-versus-player combat, you can find more survival games to look forward to in 2020 here.

The MMORPG Crowfall is 99.99% finished, only a single error ruins everything

The upcoming MMORPG Crowfall is once again facing problems. More precisely, a single issue is holding everything up. Things looked good for the beta release recently. Even the boss is annoyed.

What is the current situation? Crowfall was actually supposed to start beta around February, so that interested fans can finally play for themselves. So far, the game is still in alpha.

However, everything is now postponed for an indefinite period. In a post in the official forum from March 18, Creative Director J. Todd Coleman writes: “Yes, I know. It’s frustrating. And it frustrates us too.”

Why the delay? The reason is a bug that keeps evading a fix. The game is “99.99%” done, but this one bug causes Crowfall to lag so badly with multiple players that it becomes unplayable. Coleman writes about this:

Any significant player count (and I have reason to believe we will reach it) causes this issue to appear and makes the game unplayable. That would be even more frustrating.

Originally, the beta was supposed to start “soon”, as stated during the introduction of the new class Frostweaver. Now Coleman cannot yet make any statement regarding the exact “when”.

According to a release plan that the developers showed shortly before, the patch should be the last in this phase. After that, all features should be implemented, and it will only be about bug fixing and polishing.

Impatience and understanding among fans

The responses mostly express their impatience. This is fueled by the fact that the official Twitter account of Crowfall posted a tweet for the backers a week after the forum post, on March 24, which Coleman also retweeted:

In the corresponding thread in the forum, players repeatedly ask for new information about when the bug will finally be fixed. No wonder, as Crowfall is one of the most promising new MMORPGs of 2020 and many want to play it.

User APE sees things a bit more objectively: “Repeating ‘It’s not ready’ at this point feels pointless. Coleman said that when it’s ready, it will be there for us. If it’s not there, it’s not ready. Saying ‘we’re close’, ‘we hope it comes Thursday afternoon’ or anything like that, does us no favors.”

APE is not surprised that the release isn’t working out, but he is by no means angry about it. He looks forward to the game but will play it when it’s available and does not get upset about previous bugs. Crowfall has postponed its releases and deadlines multiple times in the past:

PS5: Playing should be as easy as Netflix – will these features come?

What features will the PS5 offer at launch? Besides speed, the PS5 could offer several other advantages.

So far, Sony has not revealed much about the new PlayStation 5. Jason Schreier from Kotaku recently stated that Sony has some exciting ideas for the PS5. Schreier said (via pushsquare.com):

I have heard a few fascinating things about the PS5 system. One of the things they [Sony developers] are telling developers is, “Playing a PS5 game should be as easy as Netflix.”

Jason Schreier, source: pushsquare.com

But what features could the PS5 actually offer?

PS5 Features – What do we know and what could come?

Which features are currently known?

  • Both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X are said to be very fast. This is mainly due to the fast internal storage of the consoles.
  • A released PS5 patent promises that users can start their game directly without loading times. You select the game in the console’s user interface (UI) and can play immediately.
  • The same patent talks about “interactive interfaces”. The game and operating system of the PS5 are expected to be more tightly integrated to offer speed.
  • In another patent, it is stated that the new PS5 controller can assess users’ feelings. Sony has not yet revealed how this will affect gaming.

What features could come?

  • With the PlayStation, it was possible to stream content to other devices such as the PC, PS Vita, or Sony Blu-Ray players using PlayStation Now. This required a fast internet connection of at least 5 Mb/s.
  • Mark Cerny explained in the PS5 stream that there would be neither installations nor patches on the PS5. However, he did not elaborate on how this would work.

PS5 Features: What are users saying about it?

On Reddit, some users say: “With the PS4, we could always return to the game faster than with the Xbox One.” Some also compare this to the taskbar of Windows: A minimized game can be quickly and seamlessly brought back.

User Son of Kong says: “It sounds like they are working on the ability to display my game progress and active missions directly on the home screen, so I don’t have to load them in-game anymore.”

CrippleH is bothered by other things. He states: “I am always shocked when people call the Xbox interface bad. My PS4 home screen is disorganized and ugly. The Xbox UI is miles ahead.”

Is there one opinion that stands out? Many users would be satisfied if Sony could significantly reduce loading times. Many users are visibly annoyed by the long loading times, for example with Destiny 2.

All important information that is known about the PS5 has been summarized for you in our overview.

Doom Eternal and Google Stadia – This is actually going well

The brutal shooter Doom Eternal excites fans on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The demon-slaying orgy is also available on the streaming platform Google Stadia. Does the epic action fireworks work in game streaming? Our returning author Jürgen tried it out.

Wait, Jürgen is back? That’s right. I, Jürgen, am back from parental leave and just Doom Eternal has brought me great joy in the past weeks.

jürgen-bilder-03
Jürgen is back.

However, I was anything but sure whether the brutal action game works via Google Stadia. Because shooters are only fun when you can fully enjoy graphics and sound and for heaven’s sake, there are no stutters or input delays.

In Borderlands 3 via Stadia, such unpleasant problems occurred more often for me despite actually good internet connection. Therefore, I was correspondingly skeptical about Doom Eternal. Nevertheless, I risked the purchase and after the baby was taken care of and my wife was in bed, I started a round of Doom on the TV.

Doom Eternal on Stadia – You notice nothing from the stream

This is how Doom Eternal runs on Stadia: Doom Eternal launched without any problems and immediately threw me into the fray. After a short time, it really went off. The sound effects hit my eardrums, the metal music was booming, and demon blood sprayed in liters across the screen.

Everything ran absolutely smoothly and was – as my colleague Benedict writes in his preview report on Doom – a great fun. The controls were buttery smooth and there was no input delay neither with the controller nor with keyboard and mouse.

Everything ran as smoothly as if the game were running locally on a powerful gaming PC and not coming from a data stream from a server farm many kilometers away. That the graphics were “only” upscaled HD and not real 4K didn’t negatively affect me during all the action.

von Benedict Grothaus

I later tested Doom on the PC via Chrome browser and even on the tablet and smartphone. Everywhere it ran excellently as long as the internet connection was stable. Only once, when the network was acting up, I had some unpleasant stutters on the smartphone.

The optimal game for Google Stadia

Why should you play Doom on Stadia? The developers apparently paid special attention to optimizing Doom Eternal for Stadia to ensure that the shooter runs well.

Doom Eternal demon

This makes the streaming platform particularly interesting for players who don’t have a powerful PC at home. With the Stadia version, it also works on a tablet or an old computer.

That’s why I love Doom Eternal on Stadia! I actually have a formidable gaming PC at home, but I now prefer the Stadia version more. On the one hand, because I really like to sit comfortably on the couch and play. But unfortunately, my wife and child often come into the living room and both don’t think much of violent orgies on the screen.

Doom-Stadia-tablet

With Stadia, I can pause the game and continue playing on the PC next door without interrupting my progress. And more than once, a round of Doom on the tablet made my waiting time while taking care of the sleeping baby more enjoyable. The seamless transition between platforms really works exemplary with Doom on Stadia.

Therefore, I do not regret the purchase at all and hope that Stadia will get more such well-optimized titles like Doom Eternal in the future. I, for my part, am already looking forward to the evening and a hearty round of Doom on Stadia.

Pokémon GO: It looks like we will soon get coins from quests

Do you sometimes lack coins in Pokémon GO? Then a potential new feature could make you very happy soon.

Where do the insights come from? With the new APK update, some new data has entered the game. The data miners from Pokeminers (via Reddit) have taken a closer look at everything and uncovered many interesting features from the code.

So it is a data leak that should be taken with caution. When and if the features go live is currently still open – but in the past, the leaks have proven to be reliable.

A new way to get coins?

This is what the leak contains: One of the most interesting points of the current leak addresses the possibility that a new type of quest could be introduced. This would be a kind of coin quest. The data miners found the following line in the code:

TotalPokecoinReward(QuestProto quest)
DAILY_COIN_QUEST

Earlier a data leak hinted at such a possibility. Now it appears that the signs are pointing to such a feature. “It really looks like daily coin quests,” the Pokeminers explain in their post.

What would this feature mean? Those who do not want to buy coins usually only get them by taking and subsequently defending gyms. Additionally, there is a coin limit of 50 daily coins.

If coin quests do come into the game, it would mean a new opportunity for trainers to secure coins. With this, they could buy more missing Poké Balls, take boxes with them or expand their space for Pokémon and items.

What else is included? Besides the hint at new costumes and additional quests, a new loading screen has also been found. It shows a small section of a forest and several Pokémon. This fits a bit better to the current season than the current winter theme:

A large part of Pokémon GO is currently designed more for home than for forests and similar places. This is reflected in various changes:

A hacker allegedly obtained part of the Xbox Series X code and a nasty plan – Demands 100 million $

A hacker claims to have the sensitive source code for the Xbox Series X. She has partially released it already. Now she wants to sell the code for 100 million dollars. If she doesn’t get the money, she already has a plan.

What’s going on? It seems that chip manufacturer AMD has been going through tough times in recent months. The graphics card for the Xbox Series X is supposed to be developed by AMD, and that’s where there allegedly was a data leak.

In a blog post on the AMD website, they write that they were contacted in December 2019 by a person claiming to have data on current and future graphics products. Some of the data has even been shared online, but it is no longer available there.

AMD is aware that the person possesses additional data that has not been publicly shared yet. The blog post states:

We believe that the stolen graphics IP [IP: Intellectual Property] is not core to our competitiveness or the security of our graphics products. We are not aware of the perpetrator possessing any other AMD IP.

We are working closely with law enforcement and other experts as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.

Source: Amd.com

There are also statements from the hacker

What does the hacker say? The hacker contacted the platform TorrentFreak with a few statements. She reveals that she also possesses data from the yet-to-be-released Xbox Series X. She says:

  • In November 2019, she found source codes for AMD Navi graphics cards on a hacked computer
  • Through a few exploits, they gained access to the unprotected computer to steal the code
  • “The data wasn’t even properly protected or encrypted, which is sad,” says the anonymous hacker
  • The code for “Arden,” which is suspected to be the graphics card for the Xbox Series X, is also part of the stolen data – alongside Navi 10 and Navi 21

What is her plan with the data? She wants 100 million dollars as the purchase price for the stolen data. If she does not receive the money, she plans to “leak everything.” However, how she arrives at this high value for the data is unknown.

Cover image Xbox Series X

AMD states that the data is not of great importance for competitiveness or security. Nonetheless, they are pursuing the story. Part of the data was reportedly uploaded to GitHub and had to be removed from there at AMD’s request, according to TorrentFreak.

It is currently unknown whether the incident will have any impact on the release of the new Xbox console. Just recently, Microsoft reported good news about the Xbox Series X.

Schalke ruined the season in LoL – player blames former star entirely

The Schalke team failed in League of Legends 2020. They will not reach the playoffs of the LEC. And there is a clear culprit: the star of the LoL team, FORG1VEN. He was said to be stubborn and unyielding, says top laner Andrei “Odoamne” Pascu now. With him, Schalke was a “dysfunctional team”.

This is how Schalke performed in 2020 in the LEC: In the Spring Split of the LEC, the European LoL league, 10 teams play a total of 18 matches against each other to determine the 6 best teams.

Schalke lost the first 6 matches in the LEC.

Then in February 2020, there was a major break, and they placed the star of the team, the 27-year-old ADC FORG1VEN, on the bench. He then harshly criticized Schalke, claiming that the team did not want to win, and said he would no longer play for Schalke.

innaxe-Schalke-04-ADC
This was the substitute for FORG1VEN, Innaxe. With him, things went better for Schalke.

In the next 10 matches, Schalke played evenly with the substitute ADC, finishing 5-5. A particular highlight was the victory against the champion G2 Esports.

Nevertheless, after 16 matches played, it is no longer enough for a playoff spot. No matter how the two remaining matches turn out, the season is over for Schalke. They will not reach the playoffs. They stand at 5-11: This is no longer enough for 6th place mathematically.

FORG1VEN stubborn and unyielding

This is what the top laner says now: In an interview with Inven, the top laner of Schalke, Andrei “Odoamne” Pascu (25), clearly explains how he sees the situation.

According to Odoamne, the season for Schalke can be divided into 2 phases:

  • Phase 1 with FORG1VEN – nothing worked, it went terribly wrong. The team did not fit together. FORG1VEN was not willing to put in the extra work to adapt his playstyle and get the team running. He was stubborn and said it was the fault of others that the team was not working, not his.
  • Phase 2 with Innaxe. Here, things started to work better from the beginning. He was willing to work to solve the team’s problems.
LoL-Odoamne
The top laner of Schalke, Andrei “Odoamne” Pascu, has no good words for FORG1VEN.

Regarding the phase with Innaxe, Odoamne says: Things improved now. Although they continued to lose, at least they worked together and were no longer a “dysfunctional” team, where players always blamed each other when they lost.

What’s behind this: These are now harsh words against FORG1VEN. The 27-year-old Greek came to Schalke after a long break due to his military service and returned to League of Legends.

He was actually intended to be the beacon of light to save Schalke, but apparently there were significant internal problems that are now coming to light. FORG1VEN has always been regarded as a strong but also uncontrollable player who received several punishments from Riot for uncontrollable behavior even during his peak as a player:
