In Pokémon GO, shiny Magmar has unexpectedly appeared in the wild. This find gives many trainers hope that a major change regarding Shinies is on the way.
What trainers are saying: On reddit , a player shares a screenshot showing a shiny Magmar. It was caught yesterday, on February 11. At that time, there was no shiny Magmar in the wild. This implies that the shiny form can likely be caught outside of events.
Many trainers are now discussing whether a fundamental change regarding Shinies is imminent: Can evolutions appear as shiny in the future?

Shiny Magmar in the Wild
Current status of Shinies: Generally, evolutions cannot be caught as shiny in the wild. This includes the evolutions of baby Pokémon, such as Electabuzz or Magmar. However, there are some exceptions, like Roselia or Pikachu. They also appear as shiny, despite having pre-evolutions.
During the event surrounding the lunar New Year, Gyarados and Magmar appeared as shiny in the wild. After the event ended, it was assumed that the two Pokémon would no longer appear as shiny. But Magmar is proving otherwise.
Shiny Magmar can still be found in the wild.
What players are hoping for: On reddit , player ravenclaw1991 writes: “I think all newly added Shinies should always be able to be found in the wild. It’s silly to only find the base evolutions.”
He receives a lot of praise and agreement for this statement. Some players suggest that Magmar might have been the start for this and that other evolutions could follow.
Additionally, the Valentine’s Day event this coming weekend brings some hope. Shiny Happiny will be available from eggs, and shiny Chansey can also be found in the wild. So, further events could follow where the evolutions of more baby Pokémon might appear as shiny in the wild.

Blizzard continues to work on WoW Classic. A change to PvP battlegrounds should please solo players and quite annoy “premades.”
The PvP of World of Warcraft Classic has several issues that are currently annoying players. One of them is premade groups that avoid a battleground for as long as possible until they encounter a group that they can easily roll over. However, Blizzard has now put a stop to this. In the future, such groups will not be able to simply avoid these battles.
What was the problem? Especially in Warsong Gulch, there are often “premade” groups. These groups often want to play against an easy team of random players to possibly gain a tactical advantage through good coordination and win easily.
Therefore, such groups send only a single player into the battleground at the start of the match. This “scout” then checks which opponents are participating. If the opposing group is also made up of a coordinated team, the rest declines the invitation to the battleground.
What will change? After the hotfix on February 11, 2020, players can no longer call up the scoreboard before all players have accepted the invitation to the battle. This makes it impossible for players to see in advance, before the start of a match, which opponents they will face. Thus, avoiding certain groups and only selecting “easy prey” has become virtually impossible.
How does the community react to this change? In the WoW Classic subreddit, there is discussion about this adjustment. The prevailing opinion seems to be positive, as it is likely to lead to a better player experience, especially in Warsong Gulch. However, there are also some players who believe that a new variant will simply develop, allowing players to avoid real battles in order to farm honor as effectively as possible.
The patch notes for update 1.14 for Season 2 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are ready. We will show you the most important buffs and nerfs for weapons and equipment and what else has changed in the game with the new season.
Of course, with such a large amount of data, quite a few things were changed. The developers show what is new in the patch notes. We want to show you the most important buffs and nerfs for the Season 2 patch in CoD: MW here so that you can get ahead in multiplayer and take advantage of the changes.
Crossbow: Here there were some fixes. Kills should now be counted correctly when you unlock the crossbow. Additionally, the explosive-Fury ammo should now kill Juggernauts with one hit as intended.
Also, the reload time has been adjusted, but only slightly. The developers are still working on it and will bring further changes.
SA87: The recoil has been adjusted and reduced. Additionally, the weapon now deals more damage.
RAM-7: The improved magazines now hold 50 instead of just 45 rounds.
Other important changes – exploit fixes and quality of life
In addition to these buffs and nerfs, update 1.14 brought important changes that directly affect your gameplay.
Ground War: Several exploits have been fixed. Exactly what those are is not clear. However, there have been some issues lately that are hopefully resolved now.
The second wing of the Ny’alotha raid in World of Warcraft is now open. We will tell you how to defeat the 4 new bosses!
Although the race for the “World First” kill of mythic N’Zoth has already been over for a few days in World of Warcraft, many players have not yet seen the Ny’alotha raid from the inside. This is mainly because the raid is gradually being unlocked in LFR mode. Today (02/12/2020) the second wing finally opened, allowing access to 4 new bosses with nice loot.
So that you are not completely lost in LFR and do not become “that one guy” who leads the group to doom, we have here a series of quick tips on how to defeat the 4 bosses in LFR. With this, you should be well enough prepared to conquer all enemies in the “Halls of Devotion”, the 2nd wing.
LFR Guide: How to defeat Xanesh, Vexiona, the Hivemind, and Ra-den
How to defeat the “Dark Inquisitor Xanesh”: The dark inquisitor holds Queen Azshara captive and tortures her. She does this several times during the fight, causing large areas of damage. However, particularly dangerous is a ball of shadow that must be kicked like a soccer ball.
During the Void Ritual, one player must stand in the damage area each time. These players are then “Void-woken” and must control the shadow ball by nudging it with their body. Maneuver the ball into the shadow portal without letting it hit the edge of the room or Azshara.
Keep your distance from your soul if you are affected by Soul Rend.
Avoid the large black areas on the ground that repeatedly appear when Xanesh tortures Azshara.
How to defeat “Vexiona”: Vexiona is a dragon of the Twilight’s Hammer and attacks players with many Void abilities. There are many additional enemies that must be killed and many void areas to avoid.
If you are affected by Wracking Shadows, quickly move away from the group and drop the shadow puddles at the edge of the battlefield.
Kill all adds that appear during the fight with the highest priority.
Leave the shadow ball “Gift of the Void” on the ground for the tanks. They need the balls to cleanse a debuff and deal massive damage to the adds.
How to defeat “The Hivemind”: The Hivemind consists of two enemies that alternately take control of the swarm of Aqir and then use other abilities.
When Tek’ris uses “Resonating Void”, you should stand spread out, otherwise all players will take high damage.
Kill all appearing adds with the highest priority.
Definitely interrupt Ka’zir’s Spirit-Stunning Nova if you can.
How to defeat “Ra-den the Fallen”: Ra-den was originally a good servant of the Titans, who sacrificed himself to protect the heart chamber. Now he has been corrupted by the Void energy and attacks players with alternating effects.
Ra-den regularly summons black and blue orbs. Always destroy one of the orbs before it reaches him.
Ra-den casts a debuff on players that jumps to the farthest player after a short time. Position yourselves so that there are no other players standing between these two players.
Since the jumping repeats multiple times, you need to swap positions with the distant players so that everyone gets affected by the effects.
Basically, all the bosses presented are quite simple. If you pay attention to the 1-2 core mechanics, a defeat should be hardly possible.
Have you already defeated the new bosses in Ny’alotha? Did you enjoy them in LFR? Or do you prefer to raid “properly”?
You can find the tips for the first wing of the raid here:
It looks like the new Season 2 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has a really big surprise in store – namely a long-awaited Battle Royale mode. We explain what this means.
What is the surprise all about? On February 11, Season 2 officially started for CoD Modern Warfare. Before that, players had to download a gigantic patch – the update 1.14. Depending on the platform, this update is up to 68 GB in size – larger than some games. Now one knows why.
Because in addition to the previously communicated new content that was presented before Season 2, there is also a previously secret mode. And it can only be about Battle Royale. This would explain the massive size of the update for many.
So there it is! Looks like Modern Warfare will indeed get its Battle Royale
No trace of Battle Royale – until the new update: For some time now, rumors and leaks about a Battle Royale mode for Modern Warfare have been circulating in the community. The latest leaks suggested that this mode could be released in Season 2.
Many had speculated and hoped for a Battle Royale in Season 2. So, the disappointment was greater for some players when there was no mention of Battle Royale during the official presentation of Season 2.
It was not noted on the roadmap either. Even in the launch trailer for the new season, there was nothing that hinted at Battle Royale.
But after update 1.14 was loaded and the first fans flooded into the game, joy quickly spread. Because now it really looks like the multiplayer of CoD MW will soon offer a Battle Royale alongside the regular part.
This supports the idea of a Battle Royale in Season 2 of CoD Modern Warfare: Once you had loaded a small update in the game, you were greeted with a new cinematic. And that is already the first big hint at a Battle Royale mode. But see for yourself:

Until the middle of the clip, nothing extraordinary happens. Then Ghost talks about something being wrong in Verdansk and that their own people are shooting at their comrades. Price should send fighters they can trust.
Then it gets really interesting. The view zooms out and initially shows a large airport area where numerous soldiers are already fighting. Some are also using vehicles or helicopters.
The further the image zooms out, the more everything points to a Battle Royale. A massive map is revealed.
Then, in true Battle Royale fashion, a transport plane flies in, from which players jump out and activate their parachutes.
In the background of the map, there is a kind of green poisonous cloud that apparently limits the playable area of the map. Then the intro video ends.
Then, quickly another change catches the eye. The main menu of the game has changed. In addition to the previous options campaign, multiplayer, co-op, and shop, a new menu item has been added. However, it cannot currently be selected and is still displayed as “secret”. It is not known when the new mode can be played.
Thousands of players see this as a more than clear sign that we will soon be able to dive into Battle Royale matches in Modern Warfare. Many also associate the massive patch size with this. After all, the update for Season 1, which had a comparable size, was “only” about 20 GB.
In GTA 5 Online you can currently earn a cash gift of 1 million dollars. But you have to hurry.
What is this gift? Surprisingly, Rockstar Games announced that they will give a total of 2 million dollars of in-game currency to GTA Online players. All you have to do is log in.
The gift is divided over two weeks. The first event week lasted until February 5th and secured you the first million. The second week is still going for a few more hours.
Log in to GTA Online before Thursday, February 13, 2020, to secure the amount
There is nothing else to do – just log in and spend a few minutes in the online world for safety
What if you missed the first gift? That’s not a problem. Although you cannot redeem it afterward, you can still secure the second gift of 1 million dollars.
When will you get the money? You will not receive the amount directly upon logging in. At the latest, 72 hours after your login, the money should be credited to you. You will then have it directly in your bank account at Maze Bank.
How to invest the money wisely? It depends on what kind of player you are. If you spend all day racing, then investing in a solid, fast car is worthwhile. The fastest cars in GTA Online are shown here. But they also cost a lot. Cheaper are the cars and motorcycles for beginners. They are not significantly slower, but affordable.

When is Episode 3 coming? The DLC comes today, maintenance for the update starts at 9:30 AM and is set for 3 hours. However, only agents who purchased the Year 1 Pass can play the new episode in The Division 2. Everyone else must wait a week.
Start for everyone: February 19
Start with Year 1 Pass: February 12
The announcement of the expansion was long awaited. However, on February 11, with a “Hey, it’s coming tomorrow,” few agents would have expected such short notice.
What’s included in the DLC? The conclusion of Year 1 brings a similar amount of content as the previous episodes. This time, it goes to New York to the Coney Island peninsula.
A new trailer announced that Episode 3 opens a new chapter for The Division 2 and shifts the story back to New York. This largely corresponds with a leak that made the rounds just hours before.
With Episode 3, it’s back to New York. The Cleaners will, as in The Division 1, form an opposing faction.
New DLC for everyone free – Division plans major expansion
Does it cost anything? This expansion is free for all players. However, if you haven’t purchased the Year 1 Pass, you’ll need to wait an additional week to unlock the new specialization.
What’s next for The Division 2? In recent weeks, the developers have revealed many upcoming changes in their community streams “State of the Game.”
The entire equipment system will be overhauled, and recalibration will receive a database for storing attributes, just to name a few highlights. Here you can find more info:
The MMO shooter The Division 2 is apparently planning a major expansion for 2020 called “Warlords of New York”. Ubisoft is expected to present it tonight, but a leak from the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store has already revealed the key details.
How things will continue from March 2020 in The Division 2 has not been known until now. But that should change tonight.
This specialization comes with Episode 3.
Ubisoft talks about the future of The Division 2 tonight
This is the official announcement: Ubisoft will hold a major reveal stream tonight starting at 8 PM on Twitch, YouTube, and Mixer to present the future of The Division 2.
Leak reveals “Warlords of New York”, the new expansion
This is what the leaks say: Users on Reddit have already extracted information from the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. There is said to be a major expansion coming for The Division 2. Players will likely have to purchase it again.
This is what is known about the expansion:
it is said to be called “Warlords of New York”
it will bring a new story campaign and open world in New York
there will be a new progression system with a level cap of 40
it includes new tactical options, exotics, gear, and skills
it brings an expanded endgame with 3-month seasons for The Division 2
What is the campaign about? It is said that Aaron Keener has taken over Lower Manhattan. He is supported by 4 highly talented and loyal lieutenants.
They were trained by the Division themselves, but have renounced its ideals and are now the most dangerous enemies the agents have ever encountered.
Additionally, Ubisoft apparently wants to offer a “Level 30” boost, which saves players from leveling with a purchase and unlocks all 6 specializations. This boost is included with many other goodies in an “Ultimate Edition.”
It is said that this expansion will be available for purchase starting March 3rd. When it will launch is not yet known. Apparently, the expansion will also include the changes to the game systems that Massive has outlined recently.
Additional packages are apparently planned.
We will probably learn more in tonight’s live stream. We will report on MeinMMO about it.
Release is already on March 3rd, price is around 30€
Update 9:30 PM: The live stream has meanwhile finished. The information from the leak has been fully confirmed. The most important new information is:
The release of Warlords of New York is on March 3rd, 2020
once the campaign in New York has started, players will not be able to return to Washington until the campaign has been completed
the map is limited to Lower Manhattan in New York City – the city has been ravaged by a hurricane. There are said to be 4 new districts that players do not know from The Division 1
the Rikers and Cleaners return as factions – in addition, there is a new group called “Peacekeepers” made up of hardened survivors and former members of the JTF
The expansion costs 29.99€ for the smallest version – the large “Ultimate Edition” with many goodies and The Division 2 base game costs 79.99€
The new patch2.7.1.1 causes some issues in Destiny 2. Bungie has responded and is conducting emergency maintenance, which is why the game is currently offline. This is the second update in a row where something goes wrong.
The servers are back online: Since about 1 AM last night, the Destiny servers are reachable again. The other Destiny services and third-party apps are also working as usual. In short: the maintenance work is over.
What you need to know about the rollback: Your character will be reverted to the state from yesterday afternoon at 5:30 PM. Any progress you made until 7:30 PM is unfortunately lost and must be made again.
What you still need to know:
Silver that you spent during the 2 hours will be refunded.
If you purchased Silver bundles through your platform store (for example, the Playstation Store), these are not affected by the rollback.
Bungie announces after the update: On Bungie Help’s Twitter account, the developers are currently addressing issues. Destiny 2 has been taken offline indefinitely. The servers are down on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia.
The developers want to provide new information and inform the players when it can continue.

Why is there emergency maintenance? According to Bungie, currencies and materials have disappeared again, just like last time. They are talking about a “re-emergence” of the problem.
Bungie is investigating this again.

Rollback coming – servers will be back online around 4 AM
How long will the servers be down? According to new information from 9:10 PM, the “Destiny 2” servers will be offline until approximately 4 AM German time.
Furthermore, a rollback is coming again: Players’ accounts will be reverted to the state they had at 5:30 PM today. What happened after 5:30 PM will remain lost and is gone.
This time, players hope they won’t have to wait that long. There are also some angry comments on Twitter. Other players, however, think that Bungie deserves respect. After all, they are trying to fix the issues right away.
This is how the update went down: At first, everything went smoothly. At 5 PM, Bungie took the servers down as planned. Then, the maintenance was declared finished. But then the developers suddenly announced an emergency maintenance at 7:27 PM.
What’s in the new patch? One of the biggest highlights is likely that the patch might kick off the upcoming Valentine’s Day event.
Additionally, the triumph “Efrideet’s Gift” will retroactively be unlocked for all players who redeemed 50 Iron Banner packages in Season 9.
What’s next? We at MeinMMO will keep you updated on the issues. As soon as Bungie provides an approximate timeframe for when the issues will be resolved, we will inform you.
Until then, you can browse the following articles:
This is the new season: Today, on February 11th, Season 2 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has started. The pretty big update brings a lot of new content – and besides new maps, modes, and weapons, there is also a new Battle Pass available. You can earn new rewards over 100 tiers.
Trailer shows: This is included in the new Battle Pass
The Battle Pass brings you: Primarily, you can secure cosmetic items for CoD: Modern Warfare with the Battle Pass. However, that’s not all that awaits you over the 100 tiers of Season 2. You can get an overview in the new Battle Pass trailer:

Throughout the season, a new weapon could also be waiting for you:
The new cooperative shooter Outriders has received a new trailer. And it’s not just visually impressive – the booming sound will blow your ears away.
This is Outriders: The cooperative shooter Outriders was first presented at E3 2019. It features a merciless alien world that seems quite apocalyptic. A visually striking mix where monster battles seem to be the order of the day. It was announced for late 2020 – not only for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, but also for the next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X.
In the new trailer for the game from Square Enix and People Can Fly, this combination comes across quite explosively. No wonder: Anyone who knows “Bulletstorm” from People Can Fly knows that the level of explosions can shoot up quickly. But see for yourself:

This is what the trailer contains: Outriders presents itself as a mix of sci-fi and fantasy elements. Destiny-like weapons and seemingly magical abilities clash with Doom-like monsters, resulting in quite wild skirmishes.
This is accompanied by a pretty epic soundscape of explosions and loud music. If you also watched the trailer with your headset turned up, your ears probably blew away too. But in a good way!
What is the song from the Outriders reveal trailer? It is “Blood in the River” by ZEAL & ARDOR.
First reactions – what do the players say?
Here’s what the comments say: In the comments, there are plenty of comparisons with other games. No wonder, as the Outriders trailer combines many different genres at once. The comments mention:
Square’s take on a loot shooter
Square’s version of Anthem
Devil May Cry, Rage, and Gears of War
Destiny and Infamous
However, many comments also point out that there is essentially nothing visible from the gameplay perspective. What exactly is in Outriders will only become clear later.
For our author Andreas, Outriders is already among the most exciting cooperative games we can expect this year:
A new update marks the beginning of Season 2 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. We show you the most important changes.
This is happening in Modern Warfare: Season 2 in Modern Warfare has begun and brings various new content, like maps, weapons, and modes. Coinciding with the start of the season at 7 PM, Infinity Ward also released a new update.
How big is the update? The update is
68 GB for PC
67 GB for Xbox One
51 GB for PS4
This makes the update today significantly larger than the update at the start of Season 1. Back then it was “only” 20 GB.
Why is the update so large: Activision states that the update is large because certain files from CoD MW need to be redownloaded and overwritten to achieve better optimization.
Update 1.14 brings Season 2 – What’s included
Which maps are new: Four new maps await you in Season 2. These include:
Rust – A remake of an old MW2 map
Atlas Superstore – A completely new map
Zhokov Boneyard – A large map for the “Ground War” mode
New Gunfight maps: Bazaar and more (Rust is featured)
Which modes are new? There are supposed to be 2 new modes. One mode allows you to play with CDL rules. The other introduces new Gunfight tournaments.
These weapons are new: Two new weapons will be waiting for you at the beginning of the season. They are called:
Grau 5.56
Striker 45
Nothing is yet known about their exact power. We will keep you updated on MeinMMO when there are first reactions.
Look forward to this operator: The popular character Ghost returns to Modern Warfare. You can play him for the first time in the new Modern Warfare installment with the start of Season 2.
On February 11, the Season 2 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare started. Here you will find all the information about the new chapter.
The hard-hitting shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare brings its players new content continuously through Seasons, and recently Season 2 started. Here you will find all the important facts in a compact overview.
The update is live: Right on time at 7 PM, the update for Season 2 went online. You’ll need to set aside some time, as the new update for CoD MW is huge.
When exactly does Season 2 start for Modern Warfare? The new season began for us on February 11 at 7 PM.
How big is the update? The update is huge again. For PC, it includes a massive 68 GB, Xbox players need to download 67 GB, and the PS4 has an update of 51 GB.
What does the new content for tonight look like? The published roadmap shows an overview of the announced content. For tonight, we expect the following fresh content:
New multiplayer maps
Rust – Remake of a MW2 map
Atlas Superstore – completely new map
Zhokov Boneyard – map for the “Ground War” mode
New Gunfight maps: Bazaar and more (Rust is visible)
Atlas Superstore is a completely new map that comes with Season 2.
What else comes with Season 2? Throughout the season, other modes and at least one new map are expected to be released. The roadmap mentions an “Infected Ground War” for instance. This would take the party mode “Infected” to a whole new level.
On the far right, there is also a new weapon labeled “Classified”. The weapon strongly resembles an M26 shotgun, this is what we already know about it. Apparently, CoD MW releases three weapons every season. In Season 1, it was the crossbow, which came at the very end.
There will also probably be 2 new operators during the season, Talon and Maze. Both characters were not part of the extensive operator leak a few months ago, while Ghost was.
What does the new Battle Pass bring? Besides new maps and modes, Modern Warfare will also receive a new Battle Pass that is again packed with mostly cosmetic in-game items. There will be over 100 items again when you buy the Season 2 pass.
How do I get the Battle Pass? The Battle Pass is generally free. But if you want to fully enjoy it, you need to purchase access to the premium rewards (available at each of the 100 tiers). As with Season 1, the premium reward path of the Battle Pass will cost 1,000 CoD Points. You can get them for around €10 in the Modern Warfare shop.

What about the Battle Royale? There are no further details about it. Theoretically, anything is possible; a general release with Season 2 is not entirely ruled out. However, it seems rather unlikely that Infinity Ward would release such a large mode entirely without announcement and mention in the roadmap.
However, in the course of the season, the developers have already made some promises. Maybe that’s the big surprise that was recently mentioned in Activision Blizzard’s “Finance Call”.
Are you jumping back in with Season 2 or are you still playing? With these tips, you can quickly level up the Battle Pass:
Blizzard and the Overwatch League have recently come under fire from former casters due to an unfortunate statement. Now the development studio is backpedaling and apologizing to the casters.
What happened: The vice president of the Overwatch League, Jon Spector, mentioned in an interview that he couldn’t be happier with the current casters and that they live and breathe Overwatch.
This upset the former casters, who had previously parted ways with Blizzard in conflict. For example, it was stated that Blizzard has no decency and that they too had “lived and breathed” Overwatch.
This is how Blizzard is responding now: Jon Spector has backtracked in a statement. He says that the context was missing and that it came across wrong.

This interview caused quite a stir among the former casters
“We are proud of the broadcasts in 2018 and 2019”
This is what Spector says: According to ESPN, Spector apologizes in a statement to the former casters. He emphasizes that he was proud of the events in the past years.
I would like to apologize for my comments yesterday. I did not intend to offend anyone, but I failed to provide an important context. […]
We are proud of our broadcasts in 2018 and 2019, and we have a good feeling about our lineup this season. We are incredibly grateful for all the talented voices that contributed to the launch of the first two seasons of the Overwatch League. Without your work, we would not be where we are today – thank you for all living Overwatch and supporting our League from the beginning.
Spector is thus defusing his statement, which caused a lot of stir in the heated debate between the casters and Blizzard.
The Overwatch League is currently under a lot of pressure
This is the situation regarding the casters in the Overwatch League: Blizzard and the former casters have clashed before the season. Currently, there are two viewpoints:
The casters say they left because they did not agree with the new direction of the league. Moreover, poor payment was said to be a reason.
Blizzard claims they left intentionally because they wanted to bring new voices into the league.

This is the new level cap: The maximum level in Borderlands 3 will be increased. As Gearbox announced today in the Borderlands Show, you will soon be able to level up your Vault Hunters by three additional levels. The level cap will then be at 53.
Soon you will be able to level up further
With each level, your Vault Hunters will receive new skill points that you can invest in strong builds.
In addition, Gearbox announced that they will bring further increases in the future, all of which will be available as free updates. Therefore, there will be no need to buy DLCs to raise the level.
However, the increase in maximum level also means that you will have to farm some of your best weapons in Borderlands 3 to the highest level again.
Event, Cutscenes, Mayhem 2.0 – Everything new in 2020
When is the new level cap coming? The new level cap will be introduced with the new Valentine’s Day event “Heartbreak Day”. Gearbox did not announce an exact date.
However, since Valentine’s Day is this Friday, it seems likely that the event will come at the usual patch time this Thursday.
The event will bring more cosmetics, among other things
Events are toggleable – Player wish fulfilled
What else does the event bring? The one-week event will provide you with new weapons and cosmetics in Borderlands 3, among other things. You can shoot various hearts that fly around similarly to the Bloody Harvest ghosts to secure different bonuses.
New is, however, that you can now turn event content on and off. According to Gearbox, this was also one of the wishes they wanted to fulfill for the players. So if you don’t want to see hearts, you can simply turn off the event.
The event will break your hearts
Finally Skip Cutscenes in Borderlands 3
More content: Apart from the event, Borderlands 3 will receive several other updates with the big February patch. These include:
Deactivatable Guardian Rank Perks: You will soon be able to manually disable perks from your ranks to make the challenge harder. The system will also be further expanded.
Mayhem 2.0: After Mayhem 4, the Mayhem mode will receive another overhaul. However, this is more of a topic for March, the developers explained.
True Elimination Mode: After Maliwan Takedown now scales to your group size, the original challenge should not be lost. The “True Elimination Mode” presents the original challenge for 4 max-level players that you can freely choose.
You will soon also be able to simply skip cutscenes
When is the new DLC coming? After the Moxxi’s Heist DLC, many players are waiting for the next expansion. When it will come has not yet been revealed. However, the next DLC will be presented at PAX East on February 27. So new information should be available then on what happens next in Borderlands 3.
We will report about it on MeinMMO.
What might be in the new DLC? These contents could await you:
ForDestiny 2 has released a new update today, February 11, on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia – the hotfix 2.7.1.1. Along with this, there are maintenance works, and the servers were down for a while. Here you will find everything important regarding the maintenance process today as well as the patch notes.
Today, February 11, the traditional Valentine’s Day event “The Crimson Days” starts in Destiny 2. However, before you can participate in the festival of love and wreak havoc in the Crucible with your best buddy, Destiny 2 will receive a new update.
The new update is already live and will be downloaded in-game after logging in. On the PS4, it is 5.82 MB in size. After that, you can finally get started – the servers are back online.
The schedule for today’s maintenance
The following times are important today: If everything goes according to plan, the downtime should be short today. Nevertheless, you will not be able to play Destiny 2 for a while.
The maintenance begins at 5:00 PM German time. Already then, login issues may occur, according to Bungie.
At 5:45 PM, all Guardians will be removed from their activities, and the servers will go offline.
At 6:00 PM, the servers should come back online. Bungie will also begin the release of hotfix 2.7.1.1 – across all platforms and in all regions.
By 8:00 PM, the maintenance works should be completely finished, provided there are no issues.
What changes today with hotfix 2.7.1.1?
What’s in the new update? First of all, today’s patch is likely to activate the Valentine’s Day event – probably the last major content of the ongoing Season 9. The Crimson Days will last until the weekly reset on February 18.
Additionally, Bungie intends to address some minor issues with the hotfix. Therefore, the new update 2.7.1.1 should not be too large. Among other things, it is intended to
enable the Triumph “Efrideet’s Gift” retroactively for all players who redeemed 50 Iron Banner packages in Season 9.
ensure that the progress of the quest “Get Closer” will no longer reset when you reset your Infamy rank. This also applies retroactively. As a result, this quest will be automatically completed for all who managed it in Season 9 over the Mythic rank.
add a new Season 9 triumph for the Iron Banner that counts the purchased packages from Lord Saladin. Here too, the progress will be counted retroactively.
However, whether Bungie will make any further changes will likely only be revealed by the patch notes.
Patch Notes for Destiny 2 Update 2.7.1.1
What about patch notes? You will receive a detailed list of all adjustments in the form of the official patch notes. These are already available for the new hotfix 2.7.1.1 even before the rollout of the update and can be viewed now.
Since the patch notes are not yet available in German, we have first linked the original English change log for you:
The Twitch streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp is known as ADC in League of Legends and has made a name for himself there. At the moment, however, he is trying out as a jungler and is experiencing ultimate disgrace.
This is the scene: His team is going for the dragon, and you can see that the enemy team is lurking nearby to “steal” the dragon. Because it doesn’t matter which team deals the most damage to the dragon in LoL, the bonus is awarded only to the team that delivers the finishing blow.
As a jungler, it is Tyler1’s job to “secure” the dragon for his team: With the ability Smite, he must deal the finishing blow to the dragon in this situation.
Timing is important; as soon as the dragon drops to a certain low health percentage, Tyler1 must use Smite. But he fails to do so; the enemy Caitlyn manages to snatch the Ocean Drake with a perfectly timed shot.
Somehow, the muscle-packed streamer manages to destroy his headset in the scene; the right ear cup falls apart as he yanks it off his head.
This continues: A few minutes later, you can see Tyler1 chewing over this scene. He is in a bad mood, complains that he missed the Smite, and is generally in a foul mood, while the headset hangs awkwardly off his head.
In the background of the Twitch stream, his girlfriend comes into view and silently hands him a headset.
This is the big satisfaction: A little later, Tyler1 gets his moment in the spotlight. As a jungler, Lee Sin manages to snatch the Baron from the enemy team and puts his team on the path to victory.
A clip shows Tyler1 watching himself and congratulating.
As you can see, as a jungler in LoL, disgrace and glory are only a Smite and a few milliseconds apart.
Fortnite Season 1 Chapter 2 is slowly coming to an end. But what about the live event that is supposed to take place? Here is the current situation in the game.
Last update of Season 1 already in the game: The last Update 11.50 of this season was released on Thursday, February 5, 2020. With the update Fortnite switched to the new “Chaos” physics system of Unreal Engine 4. However, there hasn’t been much noticeable change so far.
The last update of a season is also important because you can find the data for the live events there. Dataminers look for this data to know approximately what we can expect.
However, no hints that point to a live event were found with this update 11.50. So what’s the status of the event at the end of Season 1?
The black hole event of Season X
Here’s why Season 1 is different in Fortnite this time: Normally, some map changes are made during a season in Fortnite. Additionally, the game tells a clear story through map changes and loading screens.
This story in Fortnite constantly evolves and prepares players for the end of the season. In this season, there were almost no changes to the map, and there was no clear story.
However, there is one hint and speculation that would suggest a live event at the end of Season 1.
The hidden story of the Gold King: There is a small story that is told in the background of Fortnite. However, you hardly notice it, but when you add all the hints together, a cool story emerges.
Suddenly objects on the map turn to gold. These items also cannot be destroyed and it is still unclear why they are changing.
There is also a leaked skin that hasn’t shown up in the item shop yet. This one also fits perfectly with the gold theme.
This refers to the Gold King, who was found in the data by dataminers. He is a skeleton completely covered in gold and wearing a crown. Here’s how he looks:
This skin could be an interpretation of the Greek mythological figure Midas. The legend states that the mythical king Midas could turn everything into gold as soon as he touched it.
This would fit the story of Fortnite. Perhaps the Gold King turns all objects on the Fortnite map to gold without us noticing.
Could we see a similar live event like the Ice King? If it were to play out that way, it would be fun to see an entire golden map.
The Ice King brought a snowstorm that snowed the entire Fortnite map
It is still unclear whether we will receive a live event at the end of Season 1 Chapter 2. However, it would be the first time since Season 3 that no live event would take place at the end of a season in Fortnite.
We at MeinMMO hope that we will get an event and will keep you updated as soon as more information becomes available.
What do you think? Will we get a live event at the end of Season 1 or not?
In FIFA 20, the new Title Update 11 goes live. What’s in it, you can find out here.
When does the update come? As usual, PC players get Title Update 11 slightly earlier than console players. While the patch is already live on PC, it will be available on PS4 and Xbox One at a later time.
The new update mainly changes visual aspects
Patch Notes: What’s in the update?
No gameplay changes: While the previous update 10 made some changes to gameplay, Update 11 comes without any. The latest patch mainly includes visual corrections.
These changes are in FUT: Among other things, a long-standing error in Ultimate Team has been fixed. This involved incorrect representations of dynamic images when opening packs – for example with TOTW players. These have now been corrected. Additionally, visual bugs have been fixed.
Fixes in Career & Volta mode: There were also minor improvements in the other modes. In Career mode, a bug was fixed where matches without conceding a goal were incorrectly rated if the opponent scored an own goal. Moreover, a positioning issue that caused some players to complain about incorrect lineups was resolved.
In Volta, you can now skip more animations
In Volta, you can now skip the “Player of the Match” animation. Furthermore, bugs during the story have been fixed.
Finally, 24 new Star Heads have been added, and kits and stadiums have been updated. Additionally, the coach sometimes displayed timed finishes too late – even if you had turned this option off. This should no longer happen.
Meanwhile, gameplay remains the same. However, relatively new are the many special cards from tasks in FIFA 20:
