How well do you know the world of WoW? The great Azeroth quiz

In the last 15 years, the world of World of Warcraft has become increasingly vast. The story has taken us through many areas in various expansions. How well do you remember it?

Wherever you are in Azeroth: there is always something to discover and see. This is one of the most beautiful features of World of Warcraft and surely one reason why the game still captivates players after all this time.

What is this quiz about? By now, there are dozens of areas in World of Warcraft that hardly anyone visits anymore – because they simply offer nothing that is needed. Only Twinks might see a little of the world.

Probably every veteran has seen each area at least once. Now the question is: How much of it is still stuck in your head? Which areas do you still know, which do you recognize?

WoW Map Azeroth Shrouded

While others are wondering where Patch 8.3 might lead us, or what will be presented for World of Warcraft at Blizzcon on November 1, we want to test you a bit.

Big Azeroth Quiz – How does it work?

This is how you participate: We took a close look at Azeroth and visited the areas that every player has likely fought through at least once. We looked for particularly impressive features.

On the front sides of the maps, you will find a description of a location and the area in which it is located. We now want to know from you: Where are we, which area does the map describe?

Click on the map to flip it over and see the result. You need to write down your points yourself, so be fair to yourself! Bonus points are given if both the area and the exact location are guessed.

Dieses Quiz ist geschlossen.

How well did you know Azeroth? Did you recognize all locations, or were you unsure about some descriptions? Did some maps perhaps mislead you into thinking of something completely different? Share your results with us!

If you haven’t had enough yet, you can test your further knowledge of World of Warcraft in our other quizzes:

Player reaches max level in CoD Modern Warfare – This is his impression

After 18 hours of gameplay, a fan of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare speaks up. He reached Max Level and now shares his thoughts about the game.

What is the maximum level? The regular Max Level is considered to be level 55 of the so-called Enlisted Ranks. After that, you level up to the Officer Ranks and can chase an additional 100 levels, but you unlock nothing important there, just cosmetic items.

Moreover, the Officer Ranks are seasonal, meaning they reset at the end of each season. The Max Level of the Enlisted Ranks, however, remains with all its unlocks such as weapons or perks forever.

Read more about it here: This is how CoD: Modern Warfare aims to keep you motivated for a long time with the leveling system

Who has reached it now? The player “BenjaminWareing” has already reached level 55 of the Enlisted Ranks. He reports that he spent 18 hours and 18 minutes in the game and only slept for 3 hours. Then he reached Max Level.

With this experience in the game, he has now shared his opinion on reddit . Over 13,000 people found his post helpful.

What the player thinks of Modern Warfare

What does he like? The maps are especially praised. He describes them as “refreshingly blunt” and means it positively, as they do not contain any large futuristic details. They remind him of Modern Warfare 2 and provide him with unforgettable images.

modern-warfare-alpha-2

He also praises the missions in multiplayer. They are varied and you have to mix up your weapon setup to succeed.

Another point the fan praises is crossplay. He says it works flawlessly and he was finally able to play with his little brother, who is on PC.

What does he criticize? Like many other players on Xbox One, he has been affected by game crashes. He was particularly affected by this on release day and not as much afterward.

He also does not warm up to the Spec Ops mode. He says it does not really feel like a special operation and he does not quite understand the purpose of the mode.

Modern Warfare Spec Ops

BenjaminWareing also criticizes the loud footsteps in the game. He says it is good that he can hear his opponent from a distance, but the opponent can hear him just the same, which is why he wishes for the perk Dead Silence. He has tried that perk, but it does not really make him quieter.

Finally, he criticizes that pure kills are rewarded more than pursuing an objective. You get more XP, especially when going for kills, than when you proceed cautiously and pursue the objective of the respective mode. Here he wishes for a better balance.

How did the player level up so quickly? The fan named the Ground War mode as the best way for a lot of XP. There you should just jump into a tank and collect killstreaks. This leads to the most XP. He himself describes it as somewhat boring, but damn effective.

CoD-Modern-Warfare-Panzer-1140x445
Leveling up was really easy, especially in the tank

These things he recommends: As a weapon, he mainly played with the Kilo 141, which we also recommend. He used this most frequently during the 18 hours of gameplay.

He also gives some tips to other players. He says you must definitely use the Gunsmith. It really improves your weapon and you can better tailor it to yourself.

He also recommends that you should increase the sensitivity. This way you can react better to opponents and often be a second faster and get the kill.

Finally, he advises every player to wear headphones. This way you can hear the opponents from a distance and have a huge advantage.

In Modern Warfare, there is also a new update. Here are the patch notes:

These are currently the strongest assault rifles in The Division 2 – Here’s how to get them

The Division 2 has become much more diverse since the last update, but assault rifles remain one of the most popular weapon classes. We present you the best high-end models and show which special versions are in demand.

What has Title Update 6 done to the equipment items? In The Division 2, the recently released Title Update 6 has caused a major overhaul, and hardly any weapon, talent, or mechanic has escaped the cleanup.

The developers’ goal was to make more equipment items or talents more useful for strong builds. The same applies to the weapons, so the direct damage output within the weapon classes is getting closer together.

division 2 pentagon agent

Assault Rifles are strong and versatile

Why do many agents use ARs? Assault rifles (ARs) represent the typical average in many shooters. Damage, range, fire rate, reload speed – all usually not extraordinary and therefore particularly appealing.

In Division 2, assault rifles are very popular and widespread, but which weapons should you take a look at now and how are they best obtained?

Raid Team division 2
Many players are running around with an assault rifle

DPS with the FAMAS at the highest

Which is now the strongest high-end AR? Although the “FAMAS” did not receive a damage buff with TU6, unlike many other AR models, the weapon can rank at the top of the damage output table.

The weapon is known for its high fire rate and received a mod slot for the magazine with TU6. Equipped with additional rounds, the saved reload speed brings the “FAMAS” to a new level.

division 2 ar after tu6
The graphic shows how close the damage output has come together with TU6.

Distributed damage gets closer together

How do the assault rifles compare? The damage values mentioned here were mathematically created and thus based on the best possible conditions for sustained fire. Additionally, the magazine size was maximized through mods, and the talent “Allegro” (increases fire rate) is set.

  • Column 1 shows the respective weapon
  • Column 2 shows the base damage without enhancements from extra weapon damage or similar
  • Column 3 shows the average damage per second during sustained fire.

The strongest variants of the weapons are included.

This looked very different before the update.

An old acquaintance is also up there

Also back in the fray is the custom version of the P416. The rapid-fire assault rifle was extremely popular even before the update and was the benchmark in the high-end range of assault rifles. It ranks third.

But at the top are two weapons that could hardly be different in gameplay. On one side is the rapid-fire FAMAS with one of the lowest base damage values in the first place, while on the other is an AK version with high weapon damage, but a significantly lower fire rate in second place.

Does this apply to all assault rifles in my inventory? Since the base damage of the weapons is determined by the roll, a random value, it may well be that the dusty FAMAS in your crates are not necessarily better than your worn high-roll P416 Custom.

Division-2-Raid-Duo

What assault rifles come on top? Some weapons have a special version, i.e., an exotic or named variant. These not only offer a special appearance but also come with strong talents and can inflict a lot of damage beyond the normal base damage.

Eagle Bearer still incredibly strong

At the moment, two weapons are competing for the throne: On one hand, we have the, despite nerf, still very strong Eagle Bearer assault rifle. The exotic firearm comes with a hard-hitting sustained fire talent and strengthens the magazine until the last shot.

division-2-eagle-bearer
The exotic raid weapon Eagle Bearer is still a very good choice

Attack of the Eagle

  • Sustained fire increases values until the last round in the magazine, up to a maximum of:
    • +100% Precision
    • +100% Reload Speed
    • +50% / +30% Damage (PvE / PvP)

Fire Devil could also beat the Eagle Bearer

This weapon competes with the exotic: But there is a new sheriff in town. In recent days, the named assault rifle “Fire Devil” has burned into the gun-loving hearts of agents.

“Named items” come with perfect versions of normal high-end talents, and the named version of an “M4 Police Version” also comes with a relentless damage talent:

Fire Devil Division 2
YouTuber Charles already has his Fire Devil version and swears by high stability values.

Perfectly ignited

  • burning enemies receive +40% weapon damage
  • after two kills, the next enemy is set on fire

With these perks, not only are burning enemies easily taken down, but the weapon can also ignite fires on its own. This is incredibly strong even without extra fire damage in the build.

With a good “Fire Devil” in your backpack, you can even make proud Eagle Bearer owners a little envious.

division 2 agent
For Fire Devil and Eagle Bearer, an extensive search is necessary.

Special versions not so easy to obtain

How do I get the weapons? The normal FAMAS is usually found quickly, perhaps already in your crate. With the two special versions, it is a bit more difficult. To obtain the named “Fire Devil”, a bit of luck is needed, let alone the raid drop “Eagle Bearer”.

These are the sources:

  • High-End FAMAS and Fire Devil
    • Targeted loot: Assault rifle area
  • Eagle Bearer
    • Raid on normal difficulty

With the new Targeted Loot System, you can now go directly hunting for assault rifles. However, the “Fire Devil” only drops in the “Light Zone”, so days when the “Dark Zones” offer more assault rifles are out of the question.

If invasion missions offer assault rifles, you should definitely check them out. In these missions, there are sometimes guaranteed drops of “Named Items”.

What do you think of the new Fire Devil tool, or do you have other OP weapons on your radar?

Pokémon GO introduces Rocket Boss Cliff, whom you will soon have to battle

In Pokémon GO, the story continues around Professor Willow and Team GO Rocket. For the first time, the Professor meets a Rocket Boss but is quite scared.

This is the story: In recent days, there have been repeated new reports from Professor Willow. The Professor has built a prototype for a Rocket Radar and is diligently testing it.

In the latest entry, Willow reports on an encounter with the Rocket Boss Cliff. There are some small details that can be gathered from the text.

Rocket Boss Cliff seems to be strong

This is Willow’s story: The Professor reports that he was searching for hideouts of Team GO Rocket together with Blanche, the leader of Team Wisdom.

Cliff
On the right, you see Cliff

During this, they encountered Cliff, one of the bosses of Team GO Rocket, who asked them to leave. Blanche and Professor Willow followed this request because both were too afraid to fight. Blanche was said to have stood there as if frozen in ice.

What does the story mean for us? There isn’t much new information. It is now known that Cliff is a Rocket Boss and is referred to as such.

It is certain that Sierra and Arlo will also appear.

Niantic portrays the bosses as particularly dangerous, while the Rocket grunts at the PokéStops were not presented as threatening. This gives hope that the Rocket bosses could indeed pose a challenge and be harder to defeat.

Rocket Radar
This is where Professor Willow found the Rocket Radar

How could it proceed now? Players on reddit already suspect that this is not the last announcement. It is likely that Arlo and Sierra will also appear, and Professor Willow will be with the other two team leaders.

So far, there has been such an entry from the Professor every 2 days. If there are announcements on 28th and 30th October, then it could be that the new feature will come into the game soon. This would also coincide with the end of the Halloween event.

What is already known about the feature? In the last update of Pokémon GO, several details about upcoming features were found:

  • You will most likely fight against the 3 Rocket Bosses and Giovanni.
  • You can then track them down and challenge them with a Rocket Radar.
  • However, what rewards are available for this is still completely unclear.

The Halloween event is currently ongoing. You should particularly hunt 5 Pokémon:

WoW: New leak about Shadowlands – Is it the next addon?

A new leak for World of Warcraft (WoW) has surfaced. It concerns the already leaked “Shadowlands” expansion. The new leak reportedly comes from the Blizzard shop.

What has been leaked? An image allegedly from the Blizzard fan shop is currently circulating in the WoW communities. It features an advertisement for Blizzard merchandise, possibly for BlizzCon 2019. It advertises a t-shirt in various sizes as well as a print.

What makes the leak interesting is that both the t-shirt and the print are said to be related to “Shadowlands.” The supposedly next expansion, which has already been announced through leaks in the past months. But this time it is said to come directly from Blizzard.

The print shows the character Bolvar wearing his Lich King helmet. The quality resembles that of Blizzard’s cinematics, however, this has not been seen in this form on the print before.

WoW Shadowlands Leak 26.10 2
Source: Reddit

Where does the leak come from? As reported by GameRant , the leaked image may come from the annual BlizzCon brochure. Mystery products like these prints, which are limited in number, would be typical.

The image first appeared in the forums of MMO-Champion. A user there claims to know someone from the security staff at Blizzard who was able to smuggle photos to him on a USB stick.

von Cortyn

How is the community reacting to the leak? On Reddit , the leak is being hotly debated. There are skeptical remarks about the leaked image featuring Bolvar.

A Reddit user writes, “Bolvar looks crazy, but didn’t he have fiery eyes? Where did you actually find that?”

To which another user replies, “It seems strange to me that someone who is so skilled with Photoshop would forget such an obvious detail. I mean, the eyes really stand out, maybe Ner’zhul has taken control again or something.”

Bolvar is burning. For a long time now.

The blue eyes are an important detail that is being discussed in the comments. One player speculates that they might appear blue because it is a sign of the helmet’s power.

Most readers agree that this image is of particularly high quality. “This is either a real leak or a damn good artist,” writes a user on Reddit.

This leak regarding the next WoW expansion is supported by the fact that there are currently some leaks around Blizzard franchises. There are also new insights regarding Diablo 4.

What is known about Shadowlands? This is not the first leak regarding a possible WoW expansion named Shadowlands. A photographed image showing the region around Shadowlands has already surfaced.

Later, further screenshots allegedly related to the expansion were leaked on the 4Chan forum. It looks like all the WoW characters would die in Shadowlands.

We will show you another leak regarding “World of Warcraft Shadowlands” here. It comes from the Twitter account “WeakAuras.”

CoD Modern Warfare: Update finally brings Ground War in full – Patch Notes

Shortly after the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the next update has already been released in record time. What changes on 26.10.? We take a look at the patch notes.

Modern Warfare receives new update: The new CoD: Modern Warfare has only been live for a few days, but it is already being actively updated. Here you can learn how it is received in the first tests: CoD Modern Warfare in review – Here’s what the first ratings on Metacritic say

After a major Title Update 1.04 and a Playlist Update on 25.10., another Playlist Update followed on 26.10. This should please many fans of large-scale battles. We take a look at the patch notes.

CoD-Modern-Warfare-Panzer

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Update from 26.10. – The Patch Notes

What has changed in Modern Warfare? After the first major and a smaller update from the previous day, there were only 3 minor changes this time. However, many fans of the new large mode Ground War should be pleased. Here are the changes:

  • On the Quarry map, 64 players (32vs32) can now join in the fun. The player count has been increased by 16 additional operators from 48. Now Ground War can finally be played at full scale (64 players were already available during the beta).
  • A problem was fixed that prevented players from being revived in the HC Cyber Attack mode (which is a core element of the gameplay there).
  • The Defcon timer is now set to 45 seconds. This increase had been requested by numerous players. Previously, players only had to hold all flags in Ground War for 30 seconds for the Defcon nuke to be called and end the game in favor of the holding team.

Is there finally a solution for the problems with the Xbox One X? Since the release of Modern Warfare on October 25, some players have been experiencing massive problems with the game on Microsoft’s flagship Xbox One X. There are frequent hard crashes, the game freezes completely, and the console becomes unresponsive.

In the current update, there has not yet been a fix for this. However, the developers have already found the cause of the problem and assure that they are working intensively with Microsoft to resolve this issue.

modern-warfare-alpha-2

What about Dev Error 6068? Another problem currently plaguing many players of Modern Warfare 2019 is so-called Dev Errors. Particularly, Dev Error 6068 is ruining the mood of many players. This crashes the game completely. Many can only play under limited conditions or not at all.

So far, there is no way to fix this error yourself or a working workaround. Accordingly, demands are becoming louder towards the developers to quickly resolve this annoying error.

Unfortunately, there was no fix included in the current update. When an official solution will be available is still not known. Unfortunately, affected players will have to continue to exercise patience.

What do you think of Modern Warfare and the quick updates so far? Have you largely been spared from bugs? Or are you also troubled by problems?

Borderlands 3: New hotfix makes farming a boss more lucrative

In Borderlands 3 there is a hotfix for a boss in the “Bloody Harvest” event, who apparently gave some players too little loot.

It concerns this boss: We are talking about Captain Haunt. The boss currently gives you quite a lot of loot, but that is apparently not enough. In the current loot event, Borderlands generally drops more loot.

Gearbox is therefore reacting mainly for the future and is proactively fixing the loot from Captain Haunt.

Small hotfix with a big impact

This is what Gearbox says: The developers announced this hotfix via Twitter. There should only be 2 changes:

Link to the Twitter content

Some tweaks were made to the sounds of Captain Haunt, but the more important change is the increased loot drops from this boss.

That’s why the hotfix is so important: Captain Haunt has the Fearmonger shotgun ready for you. You can only obtain this from this boss. Since you now receive more loot due to the hotfix, the chance of getting the shotgun is higher.

So, anyone fighting Captain Haunt now will be rewarded with more loot and also has a good chance of getting this special weapon.

Shotgun
You can now get this shotgun more easily

This fix is particularly good for: Right now in the event, the hotfix is not that crucial. There is more loot and therefore it doesn’t stand out as much that Captain Haunt holds too little.

However, next Tuesday, October 29, the “Mayhem on Twitch” event ends, and then Captain Haunt will also provide less loot.

The hotfix ensures that the loot from the boss does not dwindle in the future, as it will continue to stay high until at least the end of the “Bloody Harvest” event on December 5.

What’s more in the event? The Bloody Harvest still holds much more for you. You will have to fight against creepy variants of bosses, such as against Borman Nates.

Additionally, you need to solve a pumpkin puzzle to complete a quest series. There is a lot to do in the event and the increased loot from Captain Haunt is just the beginning.

Mayhem 4 has also been announced in Borderlands 3. We will show you the patch notes:

Fortnite: The bunker has reappeared – Is the story continuing?

In Fortnite, Chapter 2 has started. We received a new map and the story has been told. But what is actually with the mysterious bunker that has been on the map since Season 4?

Which bunker is meant? In Season 4, a bunker appeared in Wailing Woods. However, it could neither be opened nor entered.

If you wanted to peek through the hole, you could only see a hole that led to nowhere.

Shopping Cart Bunker Fortnite

The bunker is still there

Many have probably wondered what has become of the bunker now that we have a new map. Actually, the story of Chapter 1 should have been finished and told, but the mystery surrounding this mysterious bunker has not yet been resolved.

Where is the bunker now? The bunker from Season 4 can even be found on the new map. If you land southeast of Retail Row, near a snowy hill at the edge of the map, you will find the mysterious bunker.

However, it is hidden in a bush that can be destroyed to take a closer look at the bunker.

In the pictures, you can see exactly where the bunker is located:

Does the story continue?

If the bunker from Season 4 can now be found on the new map, it must mean that the story of Chapter 1 has not yet been fully told.

What does the bunker have to do with the story? The bunker appeared in Season 4 when the superhero theme was trending. Back then, it was suspected to be a hideout for the villain Omega.

Epic has also never commented on this bunker and provided no clues about what lies behind it. What exactly this bunker has to do with the story is unclear.

But since the bunker can be found on the new map, it must have something to do with the story.

fortnite-contest-superheroes

A new large bunker has appeared on the map: Additionally, you can now find a large bunker in the high snowy hill southeast of Lazy Lake.

If you land at this location, a message appears: New point of interest. However, the location is still encrypted and the bunker door cannot be opened or destroyed.

The place itself strongly resembles Area 51. It is surrounded by barbed wire and there are still vehicles there that look like they belong to security personnel.

What is behind those doors must not be discovered at any cost. It must have something to do with the story.

Do the two bunkers have something in common? When you look at the locations on the map, they don’t appear to be far from each other. Could the bunker from Season 4 have a connection to the new bunker?

Are all the secrets of Fortnite stored there? What could be so important that players must not find out?

What is actually inside the bunker?

Many players already tried to destroy the bunker entrance in Season 4. They attempted with pickaxes, weapons, and explosions, but nothing could open it.

A player even tried to drive in with a shopping cart.

What is actually in the 1st bunker? YouTuber StanPlay wanted to get to the bottom of this and found a way to see the inside of the bunker.

He tried to use the drone from replay mode to get under the map and see the lower area of the bunker. He succeeded. While it looked cool, unfortunately, it could not clarify what is behind the bunker.

New leak from the art book introduces a character from Diablo 4

Another leak has emerged, mentioning Diablo 4. The shown page of the art book also discusses one of the villains you will encounter in the game. This is Lilith.

What was leaked? Just days before the start of BlizzCon 2019, leaks about upcoming games from the studio are increasing. This includes the “Diablo IV” that has not yet been officially announced. The new leak is said to stem from an art book that Blizzard will sell only at BlizzCon. This book also contained the leak about Diablo 4. This time, an alleged page of this book is being presented.

The return of the character Lilith is shown. According to PCGamer, Lilith was first seen in Diablo 2’s Pandemonium event. It is still unclear what role she will play in the upcoming ARPG. The text states:

“Lilith’s debut in Diablo IV is a reimagining of her form, which significantly differs from her previous appearance.” There are additional lines regarding the character’s introduction and a concept art.

In the introduction of the art book, it states: “Their new design is, according to Art Director John Mueller, a great example of ‘plussing’. This is a collaborative process where an artist takes another’s concept, affirms what they like about it, and then tries to add more cool new ideas from them.”

diablo-3-klassen-dämonenjäger

Why could she be a villain? Lilith receives a significant introduction in the art book and is introduced in the text as “Mother of Sanctuary” (the setting of Diablo). It is also noted that she has been languishing in the abyss but will now return. “It will be a great and terrible day for everyone.”

These descriptions and the concept art could suggest that Lilith will play an important villainous role in the new Diablo IV.

On the other hand, it is unclear how much attention other characters will receive in the upcoming art book of Diablo. It is also possible that Lilith will just be one of many bosses in the new game.

When will there be more information? At the latest during BlizzCon 2019, there will be further information about the future of Diablo. Then we will find out whether this leak is actually real.

LoL Worlds: Fnatic meets the final boss and it is the damned Ryze

However, Doinb has already impressed on Ryze this year and he pulled it out now at the Worlds.

LoL Champion Ryze
Ryze, somehow he is always there at the Worlds.

Doinb played the mage Ryze in three of the four games, and Fnatic found no way against him:

  • Doinb went 5/0/11 in Match 1.
  • 5/3/6 in Match 3 – which Funplus lost.
  • And he played brutally 9/0/7 in Match 4.

There was no way to deal with Ryze. It was simply a strong team performance around Ryze.

Additionally, FunPlus Phoenix’s jungler, Tian, was superior to Fnatic’s jungler, Broxah, and outplayed him regularly.

Why no ban?

This is being discussed: On reddit , players are discussing somewhat incredulously about the series. Naturally, there are many Fnatic fans who are now disappointed: The Chinese were simply better during the draft.

Hardly anyone can explain how after Game 1, Doinb was allowed to touch Ryze again. The level he was at was simply deadly.

A Chinese team already safely in the LoL Worlds finals

What’s next: With that, 2 teams from China are through and stand in the semifinals of the LoL Worlds 2019. There are still 2 matches missing between Korean and European teams. Then the semifinals will be complete.

On Sunday, we will see SKT1 against Splyce and DAMWON Gaming against G2 Esports.

On Saturday, November 2, the first all-Chinese semifinal will take place: Invictus Gaming meets FunPlus Phoenix. One team from China will therefore be in the finals – just which one remains to be seen.

Ryze, somehow he is always there at the Worlds.

Doinb played the mage Ryze in three of the four games, and Fnatic found no way against him:

  • Doinb went 5/0/11 in Match 1.
  • 5/3/6 in Match 3 – which Funplus lost.
  • And he played brutally 9/0/7 in Match 4.

There was no way to deal with Ryze. It was simply a strong team performance around Ryze.

Additionally, FunPlus Phoenix’s jungler, Tian, was superior to Fnatic’s jungler, Broxah, and outplayed him regularly.

Why no ban?

This is being discussed: On reddit , players are discussing somewhat incredulously about the series. Naturally, there are many Fnatic fans who are now disappointed: The Chinese were simply better during the draft.

Hardly anyone can explain how after Game 1, Doinb was allowed to touch Ryze again. The level he was at was simply deadly.

After every rework of Ryze it was said: “That’s it, the champ is dead – Ryze will play no role at the Worlds” – but then someone always comes along who pulls him out.

One on reddit says: If Doinb approached Fnatic, they would ask each other: “Why am I hearing boss music?”

A Chinese team already safely in the LoL Worlds finals

What’s next: With that, 2 teams from China are through and stand in the semifinals of the LoL Worlds 2019. There are still 2 matches missing between Korean and European teams. Then the semifinals will be complete.

On Sunday, we will see SKT1 against Splyce and DAMWON Gaming against G2 Esports.

On Saturday, November 2, the first all-Chinese semifinal will take place: Invictus Gaming meets FunPlus Phoenix. One team from China will therefore be in the finals – just which one remains to be seen.

Note: The title image is from a tweet by Fnatic immediately after their elimination from the Worlds 2019.

He is known for picking heroes that are not meta – and that was again the trick this time.

Ryze is played relatively often in China and Korea and is considered strong there – but in Europe and the USA, he is not as popular. (via invenglobal)

He is known for picking heroes that are not meta – and that was again the trick this time.

Ryze is played relatively often in China and Korea and is considered strong there – but in Europe and the USA, he is not as popular. (via invenglobal)

However, Doinb has already impressed on Ryze this year and he pulled it out now at the Worlds.

LoL Champion Ryze
Ryze, somehow he is always there at the Worlds.

Doinb played the mage Ryze in three of the four games, and Fnatic found no way against him:

  • Doinb went 5/0/11 in Match 1.
  • 5/3/6 in Match 3 – which Funplus lost.
  • And he played brutally 9/0/7 in Match 4.

There was no way to deal with Ryze. It was simply a strong team performance around Ryze.

Additionally, FunPlus Phoenix’s jungler, Tian, was superior to Fnatic’s jungler, Broxah, and outplayed him regularly.

Why no ban?

This is being discussed: On reddit , players are discussing somewhat incredulously about the series. Naturally, there are many Fnatic fans who are now disappointed: The Chinese were simply better during the draft.

Hardly anyone can explain how after Game 1, Doinb was allowed to touch Ryze again. The level he was at was simply deadly.

After every rework of Ryze it was said: “That’s it, the champ is dead – Ryze will play no role at the Worlds” – but then someone always comes along who pulls him out.

One on reddit says: If Doinb approached Fnatic, they would ask each other: “Why am I hearing boss music?”

A Chinese team already safely in the LoL Worlds finals

What’s next: With that, 2 teams from China are through and stand in the semifinals of the LoL Worlds 2019. There are still 2 matches missing between Korean and European teams. Then the semifinals will be complete.

On Sunday, we will see SKT1 against Splyce and DAMWON Gaming against G2 Esports.

On Saturday, November 2, the first all-Chinese semifinal will take place: Invictus Gaming meets FunPlus Phoenix. One team from China will therefore be in the finals – just which one remains to be seen.

Note: The title image is from a tweet by Fnatic immediately after their elimination from the Worlds 2019.

In the LoL Worlds 2019, today the 2nd quarterfinal was played. The Europeans from Fnatic faced off against FunPlus Phoenix, the top team from China. They packed a mage, Ryze, into the midlane, against which Fnatic found no counter. Thus, one of the favorites from Europe has been eliminated from the world championship of League of Legends .

What was played? It was the 2nd quarterfinal at the LoL Worlds 2019. This was played today afternoon until early evening in Madrid.

Fnatic is a team from Europe and is regarded as the clear number 2 in the region behind G2 Esports. Fnatic is one of the most popular eSports organizations in Europe.

ADC Martin “Rekkles” Larsson (23) has built a great reputation in Europe over the years. His support, Hylissang, is considered top-notch. Additionally, midlaner Nemesis seemed to really step up at the Worlds.

Actually, the team looked incredibly strong.

LoL Worlds 2019 Fnatic Victory
At this point, everything was still cool for Fnatic: The team managed to survive the group stage.

Fnatic has experienced a resurgence in the past months at LoL and was regarded as a dark horse to win the championship.

At least they managed to escape the death group C and eliminated Royal Never Give Up with star player Uzi.

FunPlus Phoenix is the number 1 team from China, but was quite an unknown before the start of the LoL Worlds 2019.

This was their first time qualifying for an international tournament. Hardly anyone from Europe or North America had played against the Chinese. In 2019, however, they were the big winners of the regular season in China with a record of 13-2.

How the game went: It was quite brutal. FunPlus Phoenix was able to win the series 3:1. The victories came in 26 minutes, 24 minutes, and 36 minutes.

The wins were relatively quick and clear. This corresponds to the “Chinese style”: They want to decide games in League of Legends early and enlarge small advantages in the laning phase until it comes down like an avalanche over the opponents: This is called “snowballing.”

The 2nd match ended 18:3, the 4th match 21:8. The series wasn’t really nail-biting exciting.

Ryze gets 19 kills for FunPlus Phoenix

What was decisive for the victory? The key player in the series was clearly the midlaner of the Chinese team: Kim “Doinb” Tae-Sang (22).

Russian Twitch streamer cancels CoD: Modern Warfare – in protest

A well-known Russian Twitch streamer suddenly lost interest in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare during his live broadcast and just stopped playing. But why?

What happened? Recently, the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was released. Since then, numerous players have been diving into the single-player campaign or having fun in the multiplayer part of the game – for example, in the new Ground War mode for up to 64 players.

The well-known Russian streamer WELOVEGAMES (nearly 365,000 followers) tackled the game’s story and streamed it live on Twitch.

As he progressed through more and more sections of the campaign, the streamer visibly lost interest. At a gruesome execution scene, he paused briefly in silence and then completely stopped.

Why did the streamer stop? The reason was the controversial and, in his opinion, highly exaggerated portrayal of the actions of Russian soldiers, as well as the generally anti-Russian orientation of the storyline. Apparently, the streamer did not want to endure that any longer.

In the mission being played, Russian special forces terrorized, raped, killed for fun, and publicly executed the residents of a fictional city in the Middle East to set an example. The player experiences all of this up close as a CIA agent.

This became too much for the streamer during the mission. When the Russian soldiers callously and even jokingly hanged three villagers publicly, he decided he’d had enough.

This is where the streamer stopped

This is what the streamer said: After visibly disgusted by the scene, he turned away and remained silent for a few seconds, then ended the session and said: “I also think this is too much (in response to the chat). I don’t want to dwell on it. We call it We love Games, we love games. I don’t like politics in the gaming industry.”

Since some viewers wanted to see what happened next, he continued: “Think what you want. There are plenty of streams of this game; you can check it out there. I don’t want to play anymore.”

He then said, noticeably dejected and resigned: “I thought… I was warned; then they said it would all be okay, don’t worry, it’s just a game.”

Then he briefly let his emotions run free: “But damn, you shouldn’t be talking about Russians like that. Just say there’s an enemy, terrorists, and anti-terror units. And that’s it!”

As a shooter fan, I love CoD Modern Warfare – As a Russian, my heart bleeds
von Sven Galitzki

This is what other players say: A post on Reddit has been controversially discussing this topic since yesterday. The reaction has been received with mixed feelings.

Many users can certainly understand the streamer’s reaction.

User oo-op2 says: “It’s a miracle this game hasn’t been banned in Russia yet.”

NaderZico says: “Didn’t you (developers) say that the story wouldn’t be just black and white?”

Komlz notes: “I played the campaign and noticed that too. I am neither Russian nor American, yet why did they decide on such a biased story and the defamation of Russians?”

And neglera adds: “Damn, he even dressed up and everything. When he then starts the campaign and only sees pure propaganda against his own country – it’s understandable that he’s upset.”

However, many also have no understanding and believe that the streamer overreacted.

As tinypantsondeck writes: “The Modern Warfare series has always had evil Russians as a central plot. You must be new to these games…”

whtevrwt says: “So are we just going to forget that Price has a hard-hitting Russian friend who helps him through the last missions?”

A-way_forward thinks: “Sure, but it’s a stupid opinion if he’s played other CoD campaigns, killed people of other nations, and found that okay.”

And PigpenStrikes is of the opinion: “After ‘No Russian’, you really can’t pretend to expect anything less from a CoD.”

That’s why Halloween is the best event in Pokémon GO

The current Halloween event in Pokémon GO lasts a full 2 weeks and offers various bonuses. For our author Noah, this event is the highlight of the year.

Halloween always represents something bad for me. I can’t get into horror movies, and the end of October always heralds the arrival of winter. It’s going to get cold.

But since the release of Pokémon GO in 2016, I’ve been looking forward to Halloween every year. It’s event time at PoGO, and for the past 3 years, this event has continued to impress me.

Halloween event offers everything you need

It all started: The first Halloween event in 2016 is a reason to love this occasion. It was the very first event in Pokémon GO.

Halloween 2016

Suddenly, the spawns were different, and rare Pokémon like Tragosso or Nebulak were everywhere. I was internally cheering every time I caught a Gengar back then. That was really special, and I spent hours at the event.

I remember it was pouring rain, but I was walking through the city with an umbrella in hand. Those were the days when I had the most fun in Pokémon GO.

This is what the Halloween event stands for: The following Halloween events were also always special. Each time, there were new Pokémon to catch, and spooky ghosts came into play. In 2017, it was Shuppet, Zwirrlicht, and Co., in 2018 then Driftlon and more Pokémon from Gen 4, and now in 2019, Makabaja.

With each event start, new shadows were near, and you could diligently complete the Pokédex.

Halloween 2018
This was the image for the event in 2018

A paradise for Shiny hunters: The spawns at Halloween are teeming with Shiny checks, and anyone who invests a bit of time will surely find one or two shiny specimens.

Almost every event Pokémon can be Shiny, and it’s worth clicking on every monster. Annoying Pokémon like Nasgnet, Kinoso, or Mogelbaum are rarely found.

These are the missing Shinys in Pokémon GO – There are surprisingly few
von Noah Struthoff

This is how it goes in 2019: This year, I am spending a lot of time in the game. The spawns are just right, and the raid boss is a blessing. I have already caught around 5,000 Pokémon in just a few days and will continue to be active in the coming days.

A special highlight for me are the numerous Lichtel that are currently spawning. While I still lack Kaumalat or Kapuno, I was at least able to develop Lichtel and have a strong new Pokémon on my team.

Event 2019

Is it the best event in the game? In terms of bonuses, there are definitely better events. Double candies are nice, but triple stardust is much better, for example.

However, the event offers a lot of variety. You can go Shiny hunting, defeat a strong raid boss, or catch rare Pokémon like Lichtel.

Especially because it has this nostalgia factor and was the first event in Pokémon GO, the time around Halloween is always special for me, and I am out and about even more than usual.

What do you think of Halloween in Pokémon GO? Soon we will also be able to fight Regigigas. We will tell you how strong the Pokémon will be:

Steam asks players if they want to reconsider their review of Destiny 2

The gaming platform Steam is asking its Destiny 2 players, who have accumulated quite a few hours in Bungie’s shooter since the PC launch, whether they would like to reconsider their original review.

What is the question about? With the launch of Shadowkeep on October 1st, the PC version of Destiny 2 moved from Battle.net to Steam. The Free-to-Play version Destiny 2: New Light was also released simultaneously for PC on Steam.

Numerous fans wrote their first reviews of Bungie’s MMO shooter back then.

As some players now report on Reddit, Guardians on their new PC home platform are asked whether they would like to revise their review of Destiny 2 written there.

Who is the target audience? Affected are players who have spent many more hours in the game since their original review. The Redditor PunnyCasual wrote his first opinion after nearly 3 hours of gameplay and had already played another 93 hours when he received the corresponding message from Steam.

It literally says: “You have played an additional 93 hours. Would you like to revise your review?”

Source: Reddit user PunnyCasual

This is just a reminder or invitation. You can do it, but you don’t have to.

Is this “normal”? Some might now wonder what it is all about. Is Steam trying to push the ratings for Destiny 2 specifically?

However, this is probably unrelated. Other users also report that they receive the same prompt for other games, such as Hitman 2, after they have spent a certain amount of time in the game following their review.

Steam now checks in on several games

Why is Steam doing this? An official explanation is not known, but the goal of the feature is likely to improve feedback for potential buyers and interested parties of the respective game. There have been frequent issues with objective reviews on Steam.

Specifically, this is about so-called review bombing. The rating system has often been abused by players who vented frustrations about things that had little to do with the quality of the reviewed game or the game itself – for example, the general business policy of the publisher or that a highly anticipated game was initially available on another platform instead of Steam.

This was also the case with the Borderlands series, which received massively negative reviews on Steam because the yet-to-be-released sequel Borderlands 3 was supposed to be available only in the Epic Store at first.

The rating score can be heavily distorted this way and would present a completely false picture of a game to potential buyers. It seems this new feature aims to improve that.

The reviews on Steam should then reflect the long-term experience rather than the first impression.

What do the players think about it? Both the affected players and other Reddit users consider the feature a cool and useful idea. The corresponding post on Reddit received over 6,700 upvotes within a day.

Some hope that this prompt becomes part of the regular Steam review process – a long-overdue idea. Others felt reminded that they wanted to revise their original review for one or another game. The feature shows clear initial effects.

What do you think about Steam asking for a review update after a certain playtime? Useful feature or just annoying? How would you rate Destiny 2 now? Differently than right after the launch?

LoL Worlds: Invictus Gaming finds the weakest link at Griffin, breaks it brutally

At the LoL Worlds 2019, the first quarter-final match has been played. The Chinese team Invictus Gaming won decisively against the Koreans of Griffin. The strongest player from Invictus Gaming, TheShy, faced the weakest player from Griffin, Sword, on the top lane. The matchup proved fatal for the Koreans. They are eliminated from the World Championships of League of Legends.

This was played: Earlier today, the 1st quarter-final at the LoL Worlds 2019 took place:

Invictus Gaming are the World Champions from 2018 from China. This year, however, they were not as strong in the regular season and qualified only as the 3rd from China for the World Championships.

TheShy is a rather quiet guy. He donates some of his winnings.

2018 was the tournament for top-laner “The Shy” (featured image). Together with the previously less known players JackeyLove (ADC) and Rookie (Mid), he really shone at the World Championship. Suddenly, the three were regarded as world-class players.

2019 looks again like “TheShy” could make his mark on the LoL Worlds.

Team Griffin lol Worlds 2019 header
This is the team Griffin.

Griffin are the second strongest team from Korea. They are newcomers on the international stage.

In Korea, Griffin always plays top during the year but loses the final against established teams like SKT1. This year there is a strange drama involving the head coach who was fired. Apparently, there was a power struggle with the manager, who has also since been dismissed.

The team has won their group and has played strongly in the Worlds so far. Recently, they managed to win against G2 Esports twice in a row, who were previously regarded as “the super team” from Europe.

Therefore, much was unclear before the matchup, although Invictus Gaming was favored.

The play decided Game 2 in favor of Invictus Gaming.

TheShy on Kayle will be a decisive factor

What were the match outcomes? The teams played against each other in a “Best of 5” series. Invictus Gaming won 3-1.

The key in the decisive 4th game was that top-laner “TheShy” clearly won the matchup against Sword with Kayle on the top lane and then dominated the match.

Kayle lol tft Teamfight tactics
Kayle is currently extremely strong in League of Legends.

In doing so, the player Sword from Griffin took on the role of the scapegoat. He was not only constantly demolished by TheShy, but also members of Invictus Gaming seemed to prefer to focus their attacks on Sword.

Sword has always taken a beating in Griffin’s losses. He died 22 times in 4 games. Thus, more than every 3rd kill from Invictus Gaming went to poor Sword (22 out of 61).

Jayce-LoL
Sword played Jayce in Game 4 and was the victim.

Sword was often isolated on the weak side.

As soon as he dared to stray too far from the tower, Invictus Gaming would attack him with 2 or more players or someone would pick him off in passing as a solo kill.

Due to Sword dying so often, he remained weak throughout the match and became an easy target, facing consequences in teamfights as well.

Only in Match 3 was Griffin able to really hold their ground. Here Chovy on Sion managed to transform the tide in teamfights early on with a good ultimate and put Griffin on the path to victory.

Yet even in this match, when Griffin only had 6 deaths recorded, Sword died 5 times as Kayle.

In Match 4, Griffin attempted a wild stunt with Karthus as jungler.

However, TheShy on Kayle was even stronger than before, and Invictus Gaming absolutely massacred poor Sword on Jayce:

  • In Match 4, Shy played 8/0/5 on Kayle
  • Sword played 0/6/1 on Jayce

Invictus Gaming won the series against Griffin by identifying the weakest link in Griffin’s chain and breaking it.

In CS:GO, an AI handles toxic players – with 20,000 bans

Anyone who has ever played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) has certainly noticed the toxic player base. A powerful artificial intelligence is now taking care of that and is quite harsh.

What kind of AI is this? The artificial intelligence is called Minerva and was developed by the online gaming platform FACEIT. The AI is supposed to read and evaluate chat messages in CS:GO directly.

Since August 2019, it has been in use and already shows strong results. Over 7 million messages have been marked as toxic and more than 100,000 players have been warned or banned.

Minerva is harsh and punishes repeat offenders more severely

This is how Minerva operates: During the game, the artificial intelligence monitors the chat history of the players. If it detects a violation, it reports it to the affected player immediately after the match.

Minerva

Initially, the gamer is cautioned and receives a warning. If it is a repeat offender, they will be banned and will not be allowed to play anymore.

How successful is the program? According to FACEIT, Minerva is extremely successful. The program has already warned 90,000 players and issued 20,000 bans. That is quite a lot, but fits with the statement of a study from this summer. In that study, CS:GO was among the most toxic online games.

As a result, the number of toxic messages has decreased by 20% from August to September. 8% fewer unique players who send toxic messages were counted.

Diagram
This chart shows FACEIT’s success with Minerva.

This is what FACEIT says: The developer of the artificial intelligence raves about Minerva. They believe this is just the beginning of the possibilities and based on this, Minerva can still be further developed and improved.

They state in their blog: “In the coming weeks, we will announce new systems to support Minerva in its training.”

It remains exciting around the artificial intelligence. If this continues, then Counter-Strike: Global Offensive could soon be significantly less toxic, as games like Rainbow Six Siege also wish.

Recently, a professional team was desperate with a bugged bomb:

As a shooter fan, I love CoD Modern Warfare – As a Russian, my heart bleeds

Our author Sven has fought through the campaign of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and states in his preview that it offers the best single-player experience of a CoD installment in years. However, one thing bothers him greatly.

How does the story play out in the new Modern Warfare 2019? On October 25, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare celebrated its release. While many dive into the multiplayer part of the game, there are also some players who are looking forward to the single-player campaign of the new Modern Warfare and started there first – including our author Sven.

Here you will find out what he thinks of the campaign and here, how the new Modern Warfare performs in initial tests.

This is how I find the story of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

This is what Call of Duty: Modern Warfare had to measure up to: I am a “Call of Duty” fan from the beginning and loved the story of Modern Warfare 1-3 and really enjoyed it. Sure, it wasn’t very deep, but still exciting due to my involvement in the events, spectacularly implemented, and very entertaining – like a good action movie.

Since then, no other CoD installment has impressed me in terms of story.

I love this about the new campaign

This is what I have been waiting for: Accordingly, my hopes for the story of the new Modern Warfare reboot were high. Now I have almost finished the single-player campaign and must say as a player: This is the best story I’ve played since the last Modern Warfare from 2011 – at least if I completely disregard a certain aspect. But more on that later.

This is why I love the story: The new Modern Warfare finally offers me the single-player experience I’ve been longing for in Call of Duty for years. I finally felt like I was in an exciting action movie.

Without wanting to spoil much, but the story is indeed exciting – after the ending, I absolutely want to know how it continues. The atmosphere is simply breathtaking.

As a player, it feels like you’re in the middle of it when an attack occurs in central London, and you engage in a firefight with terrorists in a crowded pedestrian area amidst all the chaos.

Modern Warfare Team Ops

It crackles as an SAS access team infiltrates a house full of terrorists and encounters women and even a baby. And the player is right in the middle of it.

The operations as a CIA agent alongside rebels in the Middle East are also really well done in terms of gameplay.

You can find out more about the story here: Is the campaign of CoD Modern Warfare as intense as announced?

Who should check out the story? In short: Even though most people probably buy Call of Duty for the multiplayer – I can only recommend to everyone to play the new campaign or at least give it a try:

  • Anyone who generally enjoys story in Call of Duty surely won’t go wrong.
  • And those who are not into stories might discover that the single-player part is definitely worth a detour.

The story of Modern Warfare plays out like an action film from Hollywood, in which you are the hero. If you’re looking for a challenge and a denser atmosphere, you can also play it on realism – with only minimal display aids and limited tolerance for damage.

modern-warfare-dark-edition-title-01

And if you don’t like the story, it was still not in vain. Because through the campaign, you can also unlock things that you can use in multiplayer.

And that’s why my heart bleeds for the story of Modern Warfare

What specifically bothers me: As cool as I find the story of the new Modern Warfare, a certain aspect bothers me greatly, where the developers show a lack of sensitivity in my opinion. Only if I completely disregard this aspect can I enjoy the game.

I must admit that for the first time I feel attacked by a game as a Russian native.

While playing, I sometimes didn’t know whether to laugh or cry – and that was apparently visible. Because my wife often had to chuckle and said that she had never seen me so emotionally stirred by a game.

Specifically, I am concerned about the demonizing portrayal of Russia, which in my opinion has almost the character of a political smear campaign that bears little resemblance to reality.

More on the topic
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will definitely not be in the PS Store in Russia
von Max Handwerk

This is how Russia is portrayed in Modern Warfare: The story resorts to nearly all the crude clichés and prejudices about Russians that one can imagine. I have never experienced this in any other video game – not even in the original three Modern Warfare installments, where Russia was also portrayed as an adversary.

I don’t want to open a can of worms or start a political discussion, but in my opinion, Modern Warfare has clearly gone overboard here.

Thus, the Russian armed forces embody one of the antagonists against whom one takes up arms in the campaign. The Russians are consistently depicted as murderous, pillaging, drunken, and almost mindless beasts who brutally mistreat civilians in a fictional country in the Middle East – for fun and whenever possible:

  • Russians essentially provide terrorists with chemical weapons
  • Women are raped
  • Children are shot
  • The country is bombed senselessly
  • The Russian general attempts to exterminate the population through birth control
  • Some citizens are simply publicly hanged
  • Others are made to work like slaves
  • Still, others are just shot for fun
Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-Celebration title

Does reality really look like this? Actually, Modern Warfare aspired to portray the realities of war credibly. There was supposed to be no black or white. Instead, the campaign should show that war consists of shifting shades of gray.

However, in my opinion, you can’t present a clearer black and white. American “missteps” go entirely unmentioned, just like the fact that Russia is also fighting against global terrorism. But we don’t want to talk about that here.

Bashing worse than in the 90s: Everything related to Russia is consistently portrayed as negative, evil, and barbaric. Essentially, Russia is almost exaggeratedly built up as a greater enemy than the actual adversary “The Wolf” and his terrorist organization, which is in view.

Whenever possible, the Russians are attacked. The Russia-bashing sometimes escalates to the point where it makes even really bad 90s action movies or old James Bond films look pale.

Unfortunately, this runs through the entire campaign, unnecessarily giving it a bitter aftertaste (in my opinion) and largely coming across as artificial and ridiculous.

Even my wife had to ask me laughingly, “Which stuck-in-the-past US hawk wrote the script for this?” when she watched me play for a while.

6 Things You Should Know Before Buying Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Why this disappoints me: As a native Russian, I feel hurt and disappointed at the same time. It’s pretty uncool when you feel like your favorite game series thinks of you as an asshole.

After some conversations with friends I’m probably not alone in this. Because the image painted here of Russia hardly corresponds to reality, is one-sided, and presents Russians as the greatest evil of the present. I have never experienced such a thing in video games before.

My Conclusion on the story of Modern Warfare 2019

Is Modern Warfare a bad game because of this? In my opinion, this is the only aspect that significantly diminishes the otherwise largely successful experience within the campaign for me personally at times.

If I disregard this, I get the best single-player experience of Call of Duty since 2011, which could have been even better with a bit more sensitivity – at least for me.

And that you can handle it better and more elegantly with Russia as an opponent was something game developers had already proven with Modern Warfare 1-3.

Set Dark Mode on Mein-MMO.de – Here’s how

Dear readers, I know you have long demanded that it gets dark here. The site you visit daily should finally get a Dark Mode, they said. And to be honest, we also find it quite sexy, and besides, everyone is doing it anyway.

LET IT GET DARK!

We promised it to you during the relaunch, and now it’s here: Starting today, you can visit Mein-MMO.de in the popular dark mode. We will explain to you how it works and have another upcoming change to share.

P.S. As soon as the Dark Mode is out of beta, we will place the “switch” more visibly on the home page.

The article was originally published in early October. We have brought it back up for new readers.

Dark Mode MeinMMO
Not only on desktop is there the dark mode, but also on your smartphone. Personally, I only use Mein-MMO.de like this now ?

How to switch MeinMMO to Dark Mode

Not registered yet? To use the dark mode, you need to be logged in on the site. You need an account on Mein-MMO.de, which you can create here.

During registration, you can choose the “Dark Theme” on the first page. After that, you’re done.

How to switch it back to the light mode later, you will find out in the next guide.

Already registered and logged in? Go to the user icon in the top right header. In the “My Profile” section, you have the option to set the “Theme” to “dark.” This is illustrated again with an image.

Just a small step!

Still not perfect and the future

Do you still find errors? We are currently working on correcting a few cosmetic issues. There are still some elements here and there that are not optimally aligned with the dark mode.

We would be happy if you could share such findings with us on our Discord server under #relaunch-beta or just here in the comments. Best with screenshots. We will take care of it quickly.

Once we are 100% satisfied with the implementation, we are considering presenting a simple switch on the site that doesn’t require an account. We still see it as a beta!

The promised announcement: This year we will switch to a native commenting system, away from the third-party provider Disqus.

The new commenting system is already working very well on our test servers. Our designer is currently working to ensure it looks good in the end.

The good thing is that we can then expand it ourselves in the future. We are already planning ranks and similar features. You will also need an account on Mein-MMO.de in the future if you want to use these features.

More on this soon. Stay tuned!

Player plays Final Fantasy XIV despite paralysis – Controls character with his brain

A Reddit user has been almost completely paralyzed for many years due to a car accident. However, he has not given up and has now released a video showing how he controls Final Fantasy XIV just with his brain.

Who is BCIcanDoBetter? The real name of the Reddit user is Nathan, and he has been almost completely paralyzed since a serious car accident in 2004. As a big fan of Japanese pop culture, especially robots and cyborgs, he decided to participate in the “Brain Computer Interface” research at the University of Pittsburgh.

Over the years, he has worked with many different types of brain implants. The latest one allowed him to control the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV purely through his brain.

How does brain control work? In the Reddit thread, Nathan explained that the control works through four rows of microelectrodes. They measure activity in specific regions of his brain responsible for motor movements and transmit the signals to the PC, where they are translated.

Movement is controlled by my thinking about how I move my right arm left, right, up, and down. The two buttons were controlled by my thinking about the movement of my wrist.

Nathan

In the video, you can see Nathan controlling his level 1 gladiator through one of the starting areas of Final Fantasy XIV and killing some monsters. Even though Nathan is an experienced FFXIV player, it seems that the beginning is a bit difficult for him as he tries this type of control for the first time. The scientists also did not warn him, the test was meant to be a surprise.

Nevertheless, the control was surprisingly intuitive according to a comment from Nathan:

The control was fluid and precise. I originally played the beta of “A Realm Reborn” and a few years after the release. I do have enough control over my arms to play with the keyboard, but severe pain in my shoulders and neck has been preventing me from playing lately. This is the first time I am using BCI [brain control] while playing.

Nathan

In theory, Nathan could freely move his character and operate up to 6 buttons with this type of control. He also mentioned that if the researchers inform him early enough next time, he would reactivate his own account and play with it.

During the test, he played his trial character that the researchers had created for him.

Director and producer Yoshida is in regular contact with the community. Players believe he needs to see Nathan’s video

What do other players say? The community on Reddit and YouTube is absolutely thrilled with Nathan. Many players find it incredibly cool that he is participating in the research and, above all, that he has not given up despite his disability. He received many encouraging words and cheers from people.

Some have also offered to send him codes for the expansions Stormblood and Shadowbringers, as he does not have them yet. There were also suggestions to send the footage directly to the FFXIV development team.

Send this to the producer [Yoshida]. He will love it!

From SuicuneSol Sanbefore on YouTube

Such an action deserves to be seen by the developers. And maybe he would even get support from the FFXIV team.

Shroud coolly switches from Twitch to Mixer – DrDisrespect explains the mistake

Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is the second big streamer to switch from Twitch to Mixer after Ninja. He portrays his transition between streaming platforms with a cool clip but explains it only thinly. However, DrDisrespect speaks extensively about Mixer’s strategy and makes it clear why he will not follow shroud.

This was the move: The shooter streamer shroud announced his switch from Twitch to Mixer on Thursday night with an ironic Twitter clip.

The clip has now 7.2 million views and appears professionally staged. The clip is really cool.

The 50-second video has two dimensions:

  • Once a bombastic shroud striding through a tunnel to epic music – The surroundings are darkened and shine blue-black. Everything is new, everything is exciting: like the walk of a modern gladiator into his arena
  • his girlfriend, Hannah “bnans” Kennedy, then turns on the light. She stands in the living room with the cat in her arms and makes the kitten wave: It’s everyday life and no big deal

The cat waves and says hello.

The message is clear: Nothing changes for Shroud. It’s the same shroud, just in a new environment.

What looks like a gigantic move from the outside is not a big deal for him. He sits at the same computer, the screen just shows a different layout.

Filming for the clip took 12 hours

This is how Shroud explains the switch: Calmly and casually, shroud explains the switch to his fans: It was the move he thought was best for his career. It’s that simple.

He was a bit nervous about how the first day would go. But all cool.

Shroud seemed a little startled during the first streams by how many were watching him on Mixer.

Shroud is not a man of many words, just that a team spent 12 hours building the tunnel in his living room and that there was someone who was solely responsible for the cat and checking its medical info – that seems to impress Shroud.

“Like Hollywood,” it was.

Shroud and DrDisrespect know and appreciate each other.

This is why Mixer is now acquiring shroud: They want to be relevant

This is what DrDisrespect says: Even though he doesn’t seem like it with his mustache and enormous volume, Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm is probably one of the most seasoned businessmen on Twitch.

He says that even before Ninja and shroud, Mixer tried to poach him. But DrDisrespect declined.

According to DrDisrespect:

  • Mixer says they have 30 million users – but that is only because every Xbox user automatically gets Mixer streams. The engagement is extremely low – in contrast to Twitch
  • By acquiring top streamers like shroud and Ninja, they want to boost that engagement

Error: Microsoft is advertising on Twitch

  • Mixer plans to become relevant and grow with a bit of Xbox streaming and some well-known influencers – but the plan is wrong
  • Microsoft spends $300 million each year to advertise for Xbox and video games. They could save that money by building a strong live platform – but for now, they are even advertising on the Twitch platform

So anyone asking: “Who will follow Shroud?” hasn’t done their homework.

The answer is: Nobody, nobody will follow shroud.

DrDisrespect wishes his friend shroud good luck. The man has been paid. Just like the guy with blue hair. But for himself, DrDisrespect seems to rule out the switch.

Ninja says: massive switch

Who sees it differently? Naturally, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins sees it a bit differently. Until then, he was the only “big and relevant” streamer on Mixer.

He says that shroud’s switch is “seriously a massive move for the platform and the streaming industry.”

Twitch has 750 million hours ahead – Shroud brings about 5 million with him

This is what’s behind it: The facts currently speak more for DrDisrespect.

In fact, Mixer is currently far behind Twitch in terms of “viewed hours” and has even fallen further back in market shares after Ninja’s switch.

Twitch’s lead in September 2019 (777.6 million hours) over Mixer (29.7 million hours) was so immense that even a shroud hardly counts.

In September 2019, Shroud achieved 5.3 million hours. (via sullygnome). At his absolute peak in February 2019, during the swing of Apex Legends, it was 15.5 million.

Such a switch can have an effect if more streamers switch as well. Alone, it will change little, even if the biggest streamers from one platform switch.

Twitch-Mixer
These were the figures from July to September 2019 from StreamElements.

For top streamers, a switch is certainly attractive, as Microsoft offers them pleasant working conditions and bonuses through “free subscriptions.”

The streamers come to Mixer from the grind of “I always have to be online” and apparently have a more regular income through deals with Microsoft.

However, it can be doubted whether the switches of Ninja and shroud will really lead to a turning point. So far, these are isolated cases – also because the two probably have received particularly nice and financially lucrative conditions from Microsoft through free subscriptions.
