In Destiny 2, the weekly reset is back today, June 5th. Group fights are live! With the weekly reset, new activities such as the Nightfall strike or the Flashpoint can now be played. The weekly Crucible playlist is also rotating again.
A new week is dawning in the Destiny universe. And with today’s weekly reset, group fights finally return after months of enforced break.
The factions proudly unfurl their banners in the Tower once again, rallying their followers to push their own interests. Guardians now have a week to help their faction achieve victory and snag new rewards.
However, since the Nightfall loot in the base game strikes and the “Curse of Osiris” expansion is currently bugged, and Bungie has not yet presented a solution, it may be that no exclusive rewards will drop in the Nightfall this week.
No modifiers are active in the normal Nightfall strike!
In Prestige mode, you must activate the modifiers using the challenge cards. These cards drop for DLC owners in the normal and Prestige modes of the Nightfall strike. Don’t forget that you can upgrade your challenge cards with Xur again starting Friday.
The following challenges want to be mastered:
Unbroken: Complete the Nightfall with less than three deaths
Siege Engine: Don’t let Brakion be shielded for more than 40 seconds before defeating him
Heroic Strike Modifiers
The following modifiers are active in the heroic strike playlist:
Voidburn: Void damage from all sources is slightly increased
Iron: Enemies have more health and do not flinch from damage
Heavyweight: Power weapons do more damage and more ammo is available
The MMORPG Bless from South Korea is quite open in its original version. However, this does not seem to be the case in the Western version. Among other things, a sex scene is missing.
What happened? Bless caused quite a stir upon its Western release on Steam. The online role-playing game from South Korea did not run particularly smoothly, contents were missing, and many players wanted their money back.
Bless has since recovered from the initial rage, but there are still many things that remain a thorn in the side of many players. This also includes the censorship of content!
No Sex in the West!
Whoa, there’s sex in Bless? Yes, but not in the EU and US versions of the game. In all other editions, there is a scene early in the game where two characters are seen making love. However, the developers apparently found this too risqué, and thus the scene is simply missing in the Western version. Here we have embedded the scene from the Asian version for you:

Why was the sex scene cut? The response to the censorship allegations has come from an official moderator on Steam. He admitted that the contents of Bless had been censored for the West in order to still achieve a “T-Rating” under the ESBR classification.
This refers to an independent review body that classifies media according to their content into age groups. Too much erotic content quickly leads to a classification of “M”, which means “17 and older”. This would make Bless less marketable, at least in the US. Furthermore, the new standards at Steam regarding adult content are also said to have played a role. Recently, some explicit anime games were subjected to a review.
Was more censored?
In the statement from the community employee of Bless, it was mentioned that “some contents” were changed. Therefore, some pets in the Western version are also more modest.
This mainly concerns half-naked harpy pets and a mount that depicts a hybrid creature of a woman and a spider with exposed breasts.
It is also said that certain clothes are a bit more modest in the West. However, female characters are still often dressed rather revealingly. At least, not too much censorship seems to have been applied here.
Players upset about censorship
Understandably, many players find this censorship terrible and demand a patch that brings back nudity. However, some gamers simply don’t care, as they prefer to play an exciting MMORPG and are indifferent to breasts and nudity.
What do you think about the matter? Is censorship unacceptable or is it more sensible for developers to reach as many players as possible and therefore have as low an age classification as possible for their game?
In Realm Royale, the popular survival battle plays out differently, as you choose a class before the match and can forge weapons. The spin-off of Paladins is finally here. This is how you start the download and begin in Early Access without a key.
You can now download Realm Royale on Steam (PC). This is a battle royale game in the style of the hero shooter Paladins. The fight to be the last survivor has a special twist here, as you select classes and can forge weapons.
In Realm Royale, 100 players fight for survival on an island surrounded by the fog of death. There are currently 5 classes, 17 weapons, and 25 abilities that you can use in matches.
Realm Royale PC – What is it?
From battle royale games like PUBG or Fortnite, we know that the chosen characters do not influence your gameplay. Whether you play as a man or a woman, have blonde hair or a bald head, does not affect the gameplay. It is solely about items that are collected on the map and your skill.
In Realm Royale, you have a choice of 5 classes. Play as a Warrior, Assassin, Hunter, Engineer, or even Mage. You then utilize their advantages in the match.
Mages can fly and shoot fireballs, while as a Hunter, you shoot precise shots with your bow. Engineers deploy popular turrets, and Assassins teleport. As a Warrior, you sip a delicious shield potion to prepare for battle.
Legendary weapons like shotguns or swords lead you to victory. You craft these yourself at the forges scattered across the island.
Mounts instead of cars: When moving from the colorful mushroom forest to the icy plains of Everfrost, you won’t have to walk. Just call your mount so you can escape the death fog together.
Team Royale with four players! If you enjoy playing in a team, you do so in Realm Royale with four players. With healing totems, you help injured teammates back on their feet. Sensor drones detect nearby enemies. Here, the five classes can once again showcase their advantages. This squad mode is currently the only one available for testing. Solo and duo modes will follow.
Even after the release, the game will remain free-to-play. The developers at Hi-Rez are now working closely with the community and are relying on feedback to positively evolve Realm Royale.

It has happened! Bungie has officially introduced the new expansion Forsaken for Destiny 2! Check out the ViDoc here with all the information about the upcoming fall expansion with German subtitles.
Fans have been waiting for this for a long time! Bungie finally speaks plainly and reveals numerous details about the upcoming Forsaken expansion. In a 9-minute video documentation, the studio also showcases moving footage of the upcoming fall addon. Here you can now watch the brand-new reveal trailer.
The video is in English but has German subtitles, making it quite understandable. Anyone who wants to know what Bungie revealed about Forsaken can calmly watch the video with the option to hit the stop button to pause occasionally and digest the information.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Therefore, it is not impossible that Fallout 76 will also receive such a video.
Marketing isn’t cheap
What does this mean for Fallout 76? First and foremost, it means that Fallout 76 will not be an “insignificant offshoot,” as some fans have feared until now.
The costs for marketing major gaming titles run into the millions, and large, highly visible advertising spaces like that of the Figueroa Hotel cost an extreme amount of money.
If Bethesda is willing to spend the necessary money to rent this advertising space, they will also expect high revenues from the sale of the game.
This places Fallout 76 on the same level as Skyrim, and one can conclude that the budget for the game is likely to be very high.
You can watch the teaser trailer for Fallout 76 here:
In the run-up to E3 2018, Bethesda is further fueling the hype around Fallout 76 and spares no expense. The towers of the Figueroa Hotel are being used as a canvas for a massive “Fallout 76” artwork.
Not much is known yet about Bethesda’s new game, and fans are clutching at every new image and piece of information.
What’s certain so far is that it has a huge marketing budget and is definitely not just a small offshoot.
Landmark of Los Angeles
Figueroa? Can you eat that? The Figueroa Hotel is one of the landmarks of Los Angeles, where the E3 conference will take place next week.
The three towers of the hotel offer excellent advertising space with their blank walls, which is often and gladly used by game developers, film studios, and other large companies.
In the past, EA and RockStar have also taken advantage of this advertising opportunity for games like Star Wars: Battlefront 2 or GTA V.
Hasn’t Bethesda done this before? It is not the first time that Bethesda has used the advertising space of the hotel. A huge artwork of Skyrim was painted on the walls of the buildings in 2011.
Bethesda even released a “Making Of” video of the very impressive process:

In the online shooter Destiny 2, Bungie will present the big autumn expansion “Forsaken” in a live stream this evening. We at Mein MMO will ticker in German.
Everything else was just a prelude: Today it’s all or nothing. Bungie is showcasing the autumn expansion for Destiny 2. Since players noticed in November 2017 that Destiny 2 fell short of high expectations in some areas, it became clear: The two planned DLCs and smaller content updates would not solve the fundamental issues with the game. The autumn expansion must fix that.
Even higher expectations: Three years ago, the “autumn expansion” for Destiny 1 was what many players had wished for. It gave the game more depth, brought an interesting story, and several features. Destiny became more of a “hobby” with “The Taken King.” Bungie has promised that again for September 2018. So far, the exact details have been withheld – that should change this evening.
When does the stream start and where can I watch it? The stream starts at 6 PM – usually it’s a bit later when Bungie does it. Around 6:05 PM it should be ready. You can watch the stream here.

Live ticker in German: We at Mein MMO will accompany the reveal stream with a live ticker, as the holy tradition dictates. Then you can read in German what the gentlemen are up to later or during the show.
The Mein MMO Live Ticker for the big reveal
5:15 PM: The five most important questions for this evening:
Who will take the lead for the expansion? Who from Bungie’s team is presenting this? Will we see Luke “Throw money at the monitor” Smith again? Or is in some form the B-team in charge, which we might have to assume? Maybe Matt Simmons, Chris Barrett, or people from Vicarious Visions? Is Jason Jones back or someone completely new?
Will there really be new surprising features for Destiny 2? Is this revolutionary PvP mode really so that one would say: “With Xur’s tentacles, I definitely need to get this thing?”
Is there any shock moment that sends a clear signal “We have understood”? Fans would love a “Oh, by the way, the expansion is free” – but that seems almost impossible.
And is there any concession or official hint towards “Yes, we have something to make up for” or do they ignore it all and play the PR game straight.
5:55 PM: About 6 minutes to go until the start. There are 46,332 people in the chat. Let’s see how high the number will go and what we will see. What kind of presentation will this be? Probably a relatively concise, prepared one with many trailers. I can’t imagine that DeeJ will be sitting on the sofa again in a jacket right away.
5:57 PM: DeeJ sound check. He is the host, has two developers on the sofa. I was right again – Destiny expert is on board. “Awesome” moment: This is a sound check. So you can ensure that your eardrum doesn’t burst while we blow your mind. Expectations set.
6:01 PM: Fans are most excited about the return of Variks. The stream is starting. 127,648 people are watching.
The reveal stream for Forsaken in Destiny 2 begins
6:01 PM: B-Team producer is Scott Taylor, who was responsible for “Rise of Iron”. The first sentences in the video documentation for “The Forsaken” are: “This expansion brings everything fans want.” Destiny does not hold back. It brings everything it has.
Firefly vibe: It will be a western expansion
6:03 PM: At the beginning, Cayde-6 breaks out of prison. There is supposed to be a western vibe. First place “Tangled Shore”, a location full of pirates and outlaws. One will hunt “Barons” who have different traits, such as being snipers or carrying melee weapons.
6:04 PM: The weapon slot system will be different. Players should be able to decide for themselves:
Will I play like Destiny 1
Will I play like Destiny 2
or play completely crazy with 3 shotguns.
New Super – Together with a new weapon: Bow and arrow
6:05 PM: New Supers are coming: Giant Hammer. And weapons are supposed to be unique now. Players should be able to invest time again.
6:06 PM: New weapon type: Bow and arrow, but like Hawkeye style, with technical arrows.
6:07 PM: The new super mode is called “Gambit” – a mix of PvE and PvP. Players fight in their own arena, where items drop that can be picked up and have effects on the enemies. One will be able to send one player per side to the other, allowing him to infiltrate the enemies and disrupt them in PvE.
6:08 PM: The new raid “Dreaming City” is supposed to have more bosses than any raid before. It is the homeland of the Awoken. The raid is a magical, mysterious place with puzzles, hiding spots. Raiders should be able to change the place.
6:10 PM: Phew, quite an information overload.

6:11 PM: “We’re making Forsaken for people who love Destiny.” In the ViDoc, they essentially say everything the fans want to hear in the first 10 minutes.
6:12 PM: Now it’s time for the couch. DeeJ with Scott Taylor (producer) and Steve Cotton (creative director). The team from the “Rise of Iron” corner.
6:14 PM: First big announcement, as expected: We want a deeper Destiny. Players should think about Destiny and feel smart.
6:15 PM: The raid is supposed to be an endgame zone, full of secrets. This zone is supposed to be connected to the raid in interesting ways – but they apparently don’t want to talk about it. Players should discover that for themselves.
6:16 PM: The story is supposed to be revealed at E3: For me, it already looks very clearly like a kind of “space western”.
Gambit aims to bring PvE players closer to PvP
6:17 PM: Over the summer, Bungie seems to be wanting to involve streamers and present further details. They seem particularly proud of the new mode “Gambit”. This mode is also supposed to help bring pure PvE players closer to PvP. The mode will put players in decision-making situations, also tactically: Will you play aggressively, focus more on resources, or even attack the enemies? At E3, Gambit is supposed to be playable.
2nd season pass “Annual Pass” for Destiny 2 planned, will probably cost money
6:22 PM: Year 2 of Destiny 2 will likely come again without DLC – but it will cost money. They call it “Annual Pass.” Instead of two DLCs, there will be three content updates, it seems. There are supposed to be additional power upgrades here. This is the plan for winter 2018 until summer 2019. Those who pay will receive exclusive content here. The idea is to provide content but no big cutscenes. Each of the three updates is also supposed to bring a new season.
6:25 PM: A new roadmap for Year 2 of Destiny 2 is here. There are already plans for July. The new seasonal event here is called “Solstice of Heroes.” This is stuff that every player gets, also for free:
4 new Crucible maps
“Mass shader deletion”
200 more slots in the vault
A new mod update
Equipment collections
6:28 PM: With all due respect, after Bungie has had hardly any info for months, they have now planned total overkill. Just for “Weapon Randomization” or “Weapon Slot Changes” they should do their own “This week at Bungie”.
6:29 PM: The astonishing thing is that they haven’t really said a word “Oops, last year was nothing”, but are approaching it directly like “This is all coming”.
6:30 PM: For hardcore Destiny fans, the big question will be: “How does all this play? How does it really feel to be out there with the new freer weapon slots?” From the table it all sounds interesting. What Bungie apparently wants to make a point about is: “Let’s allow players to do more of what we want.”
6:32 PM: A little warning, not every number from the stream has to be the final number. Everything can still change.
Destiny 2 is supposed to become more open and deeper – also bring content and progress in 2019
6:34 PM: So far it is what one expected. Maybe even a little more: It’s not just “We’re going back to Destiny 1”; apparently, they intend to make Destiny 2 even deeper and more open than Destiny 1.
Little things that will probably please people: They want to bring more lore into the game and make it findable. And they likely want to ensure a steady power increase beyond 2019 – until now, there has always been a drought in the year after release
Disadvantage: They likely also want to make more money through the Annual Pass in this otherwise “quiet” year.
6:40 PM: The collections should awaken the collectors’ passion of the guardians. Make them aware: “What is still missing – go hunt for it!” This will come with Forsaken.
6:41 PM: The stream has now raised many questions: Especially in the gameplay field and regarding mechanics, there is certainly a need for clarification:
“Upgradeable masterwork weapons”
“Free weapon slot system”
What are the new supers?
How does the new mod system work?
6:45 PM: 150,000 people have watched the stream on average. No sign of Mara Sov so far. Here at Mein MMO, we will thoroughly deal with everything seen today and in the coming days – just as you have come to expect from us over the last four years.
Thank you for staying with us as we engage with this game, which still has a unique appeal even after four years, even if at times you want to grab it and shake it a bit.

The best talents with high development potential in FIFA 18 before the World Cup can be found in this list. We present to you interesting, young players for your manager career sorted by positions.
In FIFA, there are regular updates for players and the potential of talents in career mode. Below, we present to you the best, inexpensive talents in goal, defense, midfield, and attack.
We only consider players with a market value of under 2 million euros who are younger than 23 years. We refer to the current player database from June, just before the World Cup.
[toc]
If you are looking for the absolute top talents and can invest a bit more money, you should check out our comprehensive overview list with the best young players.
It should be noted that the potential does not have to be reached but can also be exceeded. It is only a guideline and not a binding final overall rating.
Cheap defender talents under 2 million
In addition to the well-known top talents like Matthijs de Ligt, Jonathan Tah, or Andreas Christensen, there are also some hidden gems for little money among the defenders.
We present to you inexpensive defender talents with high potential separated by position.
Right-back (RB) – Talents
Diago Dalot, 69 -> 85 (18 years, FC Porto) – The Portuguese has a contract until 2019 and a market value of 1.9 million euros. His physicality and speed stand out in combination with his height of 1.83 meters. However, he still needs to work on his passing and defensive values.
Tom Edwards, 67 -> 84 (18 years, Stoke City) – The 1.75 meter tall Englishman is contracted until 2022, with a market value of 1.4 million euros. He also relies on speed and physicality but has weaknesses in offensive and defensive values.
Sofiane Alakouch, 67 -> 83 (18 years, Nimes Olympique) – The fast Frenchman has a contract until 2020 and a market value of 1.4 million euros. He is a classic speedster: Besides speed, he excels in stamina and agility – other values are still improvable.
Center-back (CB) – Talents
Alessandro Bastoni, 66 -> 86 (18 years, Atalanta Bergamo) – The Italian boasts a height of 1.90 meters and is under contract until 2019 with a market value of 1.2 million euros. His defensive values are good, and he is likely to ensure complete aerial dominance with a jump power of 71. His pace and physicality are rather below average.
Juan Foyth, 68 -> 85 (19 years, Tottenham Hotspur) – The Argentinian has a contract until 2022 and a market value of 1.7 million euros. He is quick, has strong defensive values, good jumping ability, and stamina, and is surprisingly agile for a center-back. Plus, with a height of 1.87 meters, he has hardly any weaknesses!
Ethan Ampadu, 60 -> 85 (16 years, Chelsea FC) – The Welshman has a low market value of 400K euros and a contract until 2020. However, his price and age are evident: Only his jump power of 75 stands out for the 1.83 meter tall talent.
Left-back (LB) – Talents
Gian-Luca Itter, 67 -> 85 (18 years, VFL Wolfsburg) – The first German talent has a contract until 2012 and a market value of 1.4 million euros. He is the classic all-rounder: no strengths but also no significant weaknesses except for shooting value. After all, he is relatively tall for a full-back at 1.85 meters.
Kik Pierie, 68 -> 85 (16 years, SC Heerenveen) – The Dutchman currently has a contract until 2020 and a market value of 1.6 million euros. He is also 1.85 meters tall and has good speed values and strong jumping ability. However, endurance and defensive values still need improvement.
Blas Riveros, 68 -> 84 (19 years, FC Basel) – The next talent comes from Paraguay. He has a market value of 1.7 million euros and a contract until 2021. His strengths are extreme speed, stamina, jumping ability, strength, and agility. The offensive values are good, but the defensive values suffer badly.
Cheap midfield talents under 2 million
Next, you will see the best future stars in central defensive and offensive midfield. Players in right (RM) and left (LM) midfield can be found one section below with the wingers.
Defensive Midfielder (CDM) – Talents
Sandro Tonali, 65 -> 87 (17 years, Brescia) – The Italian is under contract until 2020 with a market value of 1.1 million euros. Besides shooting, his values are quite balanced, especially passing is strong. Additionally, he has 4 stars on his weak foot and medium/medium work rates.
Aurélien Tchouaméni, 63 -> 83 (17 years, Girondins de Bordeaux) – The Frenchman has a market value of only 650K euros and is under contract until 2020. He is an aggressive player with a high strength value, stand 1.85 meters tall and has medium/medium work rates. However, the defensive values could still be improved.
Oriol Busquets Mas, 66 -> 83 (18 years, FC Barcelona B) – Following in Sergio Busquets’ footsteps, the Spaniard has a market value of 1.2 million euros and a contract until 2018. He excels at stamina, strength, is 1.85 meters tall, and has medium/medium work rates. Speed and offensive values, on the other hand, leave much to be desired.
Sergio Gomez, 67 -> 87 (16 years, Borussia Dortmund) – Nominally a number 10, the Spaniard fits better as a CM with 3 stars skills and weak foot as well as medium/medium work rates. With a contract until 2021 and a market value of 1.5 million euros, he is equipped with solid pace, dribbling, and passing values; he could improve his shooting and defensive values – at least if he plays as a CM.
Fabrizio Caligara, 63 -> 83 (17 years, Cagliari Calcio) – The Italian with a contract until 2023 and a market value of 725K euros is a classic box-to-box player. 1.80 meters tall, medium/medium work rates, and balanced, solid values overall. Only his shooting is a bit weaker and should be trained more.
Harry Cochrane, 61 -> 82 (16 years, Heart of Midlothian) – The next youngster is Scottish and has a contract until 2021 with a market value of 550K euros. 4 stars on the weak foot and his pace and short passing stand out. Otherwise, there is still much room for improvement.
Attacking Midfielder (CAM) – Talents
Angel Gomez, 64 -> 87 (16 years, Manchester United) – The market value of the Englishman amounts to 975K euros, and his contract ends in 2021. For a number 10, the small (1.68 meters) player brings a lot: 4 star skills and weak foot, the “Flair” trait, solid pace, and good agility and balance. His shooting and passing values still need improvement.
Phakamani Mahlambi, 69 -> 85 (19 years, Free Agent) – The first talent without a club is South African. 4 stars on the weak foot, a very strong burst of speed, and good dribbling make him a good free transfer deal. He also has the “Flair” trait and still needs improvements in shooting and passing.
Ben Woodburn, 65 -> 85 (17 years, FC Liverpool) – The second Welshman on the list has a market value of 1.1 million euros and a contract until 2022. He also possesses good pace and agility with 4 stars on the weak foot and the “Flair” trait. Additionally, he has an “Actual Face” in-game – he is not generic. The rest of his values, however, require improvement.
Cheap attacker talents under 2 million
Full attacking power is now on display: These are the best attacker talents for a small budget.
Left Winger (LW) – Talents
Jadon Sancho, 68 -> 87 (17 years, Borussia Dortmund) – The second BVB talent is English, has a contract until 2020, and a market value of 1.8 million euros. He is fast, agile, and has 4-star skills, plus the “Flair” and “Speed Dribbler” traits. His shooting and passing still need training.
Alphonso Davies, 68 -> 86 (16 years, Vancouver Whitecaps FC) – The Canadian is valued at 1.8 million euros and is only under contract until 2018. Over 90 pace, good agility, stamina, and jumping ability make him one of the top talents along with 4-star skills and a weak foot. He also has medium/high work rates and stands 1.80 meters tall.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, 63 -> 85 (16 years, Chelsea FC) – With a market value of 800K euros, the Englishman still has a contract until 2020. He brings solid pace, passing, and dribbling values, but his great strength lies in his height of 1.85 meters. 3-star skills and weak foot do not impress.
Marcus Edwards, 66 -> 87 (18 years, Tottenham Hotspur) – The Englishman has a contract until 2020 and a market value of 1.5 million euros. He stands out with outstanding dribbling and 4-star skills. His pace, shooting, and passing are rather below average for a winger.
Reiss Nelson, 64 -> 85 (17 years, FC Arsenal) – The next Englishman has a market value of 975K euros and a contract until 2019. His strengths are pace and agility combined with 4-star special moves. Shooting and passing should still be trained.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles, 68 -> 84 (19 years, FC Arsenal) – Another English winger talent from FC Arsenal: His contract runs until 2019 with a market value of 1.9 million euros. He relies mainly on speed and physicality, thus bringing everything necessary to still improve the remaining values.
Striker (ST) – Talents
Kwang Song Han, 68 -> 87 (19 years, Cagliari Calcio) – Our best striker talent under 2 million euros comes from North Korea. He is under contract until 2023 and has a market value of 1.9 million euros. He especially stands out with his acceleration and jumping ability, coupled with 5-star weak foot. Dribbling and shooting are solid, but he is very weak and only 1.78 meters tall.
Amine Gouiri, 67 -> 86 (17 years, Olympique Lyon) – The Frenchman with a market value of 1.5 million euros is under contract until 2021. The right-footed player mainly relies on speed, while strength and dribbling are solid. Otherwise, there are few strengths, as he stands 1.83 meters tall and has a shooting and passing value that needs improvement.
Brahim Diaz, 67 -> 85 (17 years, Manchester City) – The Spaniard signed with City until 2019, and his market value is 1.5 million euros. He is only 1.70 meters tall but stands out with pace and especially mobility. His dribbling is extremely strong, and combined with 4-star skills and special moves, he is very unpredictable. He also has traits like “Flair” or “Speed Dribbler.”
Cheap goalkeeper talents under 2 million
Christian Früchtl, 65 -> 86 (17 years, FC Bayern Munich) – FC Bayern also has a strong goalkeeper talent. The German is under contract until 2020 and has a market value of 975K euros. A proud height of 1.93 meters is notable, and except for his pace, he has solid values everywhere.
Alessandro Plizzari, 65 -> 85 (17 years, Ternana) – The Italian with a contract until 2018 and a market value of 875K euros is comparatively small for a keeper: only 1.87 meters tall, but he has very strong reflexes.
Mile Svilar, 65 -> 85 (17 years, SL Benfica) – The Belgian has a market value of 875K euros and a contract until 2022. At 1.88 meters, he is a solid height for a goalkeeper and stands out with his pace. However, he has weaknesses in ball security.
Training talents takes a lot of time. If you focus on young talents, you will not have an elite team immediately, but a team with great potential. Only after a few seasons will these young players show what they are truly capable of.
If you wish, you can then sell them for a multiple of the purchase price.
If you are looking for more talents, you can send out scouts in the game to look for young players. They will send you reports with interesting talents. Good – and expensive – scouts can assess potential better than cheap scouts. Set specific criteria like age and snap up strong talents at a bargain price.
You can find top talents in all countries. These countries should be particularly suitable for the specific positions:
Goalkeeper: Germany, Netherlands, Spain, or Italy
Defender: England, Brazil, or Germany
Midfielder: Argentina, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Brazil, or England
Forward: Italy, Germany, France, Netherlands, Argentina, Spain, or Brazil
Two more tips:
Scouts are particularly effective in their home country
Don’t jump in immediately. The longer the observation time, the fewer “nasty surprises” you will have.

What is it about? The Earth has ultimately been overrun by hostile aliens who are technologically superior. The members of the resistance (XCOM) have either surrendered, been killed, or retreated to secret hideouts.
Now it is up to you to rebuild the XCOM organization using the remnants of the resistance and lead a campaign against the evil extraterrestrials.
How is it played? XCOM 2 is a turn-based strategy game – meaning you plan and execute your actions, then it’s the opponent’s turn. You alternate turns this way. The controls on the console are very well implemented – allowing you to easily plan and manage turn-based battles on the PS4.
You must gradually transform the underground bunker refuge of your resistance fighters into a fully equipped headquarters. There, you will also develop your soldiers and their equipment.
From here, you will also embark on the tactically challenging missions to reclaim strategically important locations, gather more resources, restore humanity’s trust, and drive the aliens away.

XCOM 2 offers a multiplayer mode where you can compete against another player. However, the strength and focus of the game are clearly on the single-player mode. The multiplayer mode is merely a nice addition that is not particularly popular among players.
You should check out XCOM 2 if you appreciate an intelligent mix of real-time strategy, RPG mechanics, and resource management. Hobby strategists can’t go wrong with this title.
Trials Fusion
What is it about? Trials Fusion is the latest installment in the Trials series. Here, too, it’s classic and typical for the series: you hop on a Trials motorcycle and perform all sorts of cool stunts – from death-defying flips to breathtaking jumps and hair-raising stunts.
How is it played? It’s not just about mindlessly accelerating with closed eyes. Trials Fusion is based on realistic physics. The jumps need to be carefully planned, weight needs to be properly shifted, and the course must constantly be kept in view. To achieve high scores, you must master your bike and the track without looking.

Once a month, “PS Plus” members receive a delivery of free games that they can download from the PlayStation Store and add to their library. This game lineup is included in the subscription of the online service. PlayStation Plus costs around 60 Euros per year.
Bless Online had a catastrophic start, and player complaints piled up after the release. However, positive reviews are increasingly rising and the negative voices are becoming quieter.
Shortly after the release of Bless, there was a huge refund wave on Steam. Players left bad Steam reviews and were angry about their purchase. Only 38% of players rated the game positively on Steam. This was the status on May 30, the official release day.
One week after the release, the situation for Bless looks better: Reviews and positive ratings on Steam have significantly increased. Today, on June 5 (11:30 AM), 54% already leave a positive rating. That’s quite an impressive increase within a few days.
How did this happen?
Neowiz responds quickly to criticism and dissatisfied players stay away
The players who actually enjoyed Bless remained: After the big refund wave, only those players stayed who wanted to give Bless a chance. Because there were not only negative voices. Especially the combat system and animal taming received a lot of praise shortly after the release.
Neowiz receives recognition for quick reaction: It is astonishing the pace at which the developers are currently delivering updates. With each patch, a problem that the community struggled with is fixed. A major topic right now is the balance of the game. Here, Neowiz tirelessly works and responds quickly to player requests and complaints.
The players are largely satisfied with the rapid development and the performance has noticeably improved. The quick response time from the developers may have also led some to view Bless in a more generous light.
The developers apologized and offered compensation: Especially the players who purchased a founder’s package had to deal with significant problems during the head start. Neowiz publicly apologized for the major disappointment they delivered and provided compensation in the form of premium currency. Many viewed this as a nice gesture.
Communication in the Bless community has changed
Anger turns into meta-discussions and feedback: The community portals on Discord or Reddit were still full of anger directly after the release, but this has since adjusted. Initially, these were flooded with complaints about Neowiz and disappointments. Now, players can be found discussing gameplay and opening feedback threads. Complaints still arise, but everything is running a bit less heated.
The actual players are annoyed by the many negative criticisms: The actual players can no longer hear the whining from their own community. They acknowledge that there are still many issues, but they can still enjoy the game. They wish to be left alone in this.
This is what our reader Badoldy writes about the constant negative criticism:
“Just move on, honestly. Go play WoW or BDO. […] Just move on, and I’ll have a smaller queue when I get home from work. Then I can get in faster and enjoy the game. Keyword: Enjoy. Try to discover the world instead of reaching Max-Level in 48 hours.”
What does our Mein-MMO community say? You should wait and see
I have not formed an opinion yet and am waiting: 29 %
Good, I am satisfied: 21%
Bad, this is unacceptable: 19%
No idea, I am not interested in Bless: 18 %
So-so, could be better: 13%
The majority of our community remains patient. Most likely want to see if Neowiz can fix all the problems. After that, the good and bad voices are approximately balanced. The satisfied voices slightly outweigh the dissatisfied ones by two percent.
A selection of reader comments
Moritz Heitkamp is positively surprised: “I have already put in some hours of playtime. So far, I am positively surprised. The game really makes me crave for more. Let’s see how it goes with Max-Level and PvP. If a few dungeons, raids, and PvP events come, it could become something great. I found it amazing how quickly the developers addressed and resolved the major problems.”
Erzkanzler is surprised; he recognizes parallels to HDRO: “It’s an advanced Lord of the Rings Online with a dynamic combat system! (…) I spent ages in HdRo and immediately felt at home in Bless. The skill system corresponds to my favorite class from HdRo (good old Rune) and I LOVE it. Wild jumping around like in other ‘action combat systems’ annoys me, and pure tab-targeting alone bores me. (…) Overall, I feel well entertained in Bless. Even the usually mindless ‘kill quests’ manage to excite and motivate me. I tame animals just for the variety and craft voluntarily… a rarity in other MMOs for Erzkanzler.”
Elyth finds the term beta inappropriate: “What is the point of everyone bringing up the ‘beta phase’? This game has existed since 2016 and was released before. Also, they are selling it in the store for 30 euros, with a cash shop, and then hide behind the beta when everything is bad. If it is a beta, they should distribute free keys and let people TEST it. They could build everything on that, as has been the case in other MMOs for decades.”
Nyo finds Bless simply boring: “In conclusion, I can only say that the game does not engage me in any special way. It’s a standard MMORPG that personally reminded me a lot of WoW, but nothing seems particularly coherent to me. For me, at least, it cannot motivate me. Or simply put: It’s just boring.”
EliazVance finds good and bad: “I am currently neither excited nor overly disappointed. The launch was a disaster with countless poor decisions from the developers. But the speed with which many problems are being addressed is exemplary. The game itself feels somewhat old, swinging visually between ugly and quite nice. The performance is terrible. The sound seems cheap and sometimes annoying, aside from the mostly quite good voice acting. BUT: It’s fun.”
The developers of the survival MMORPG Citadel: Forged with Fire are walking a fine line. Because a server wipe is necessary for a major update, which does not please all players. The developers are aware of this.
Major update requires server wipe
A major update is coming. The developers of the MMORPG are currently preparing a comprehensive update. This brings the following:
a redistribution of player progress and many other improvements
a new game balance
optimizations to the world layout
a revision of the costs of various crafting recipes is planned, which will significantly change the balance and pace of the game
A server wipe is necessary. Since the update brings such significant changes, a server wipe is required. The developers aim to ensure a fair game. The update is expected to be released around early to mid-July 2018 and the server wipe is planned shortly before that. A specific date will be announced later.
Citadel spares these 10 servers – no wipe on legacy servers
Not all servers will be deleted. The developers are well aware that a server wipe is not well-received by all players. To avoid alienating these players, 10 servers will be retained where progress will not be deleted. These will be considered as legacy servers:
TheBrink(OfficialEurope)
CitadelUSEast33
CitadelEurope11
Tokoree(OfficialUSEast)
Elundriel(OfficialUSEast)
Luminous(OfficialUSWest)
ShadowCape(OfficialEurope)
Akatore(OfficialEurope)
CitadelEurope4
CitadelEurope5
Many players are already showing little enthusiasm for a wipe, while others express understanding. The “Harry Potter MMO” Citadel: Forged with Fire needs to evolve. Players are demanding new features and optimizations. And these inevitably come with a wipe.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) a player did everything right and shot almost a third of all opponents. But at the last enemy, he overdid it and thus threw away the epic victory!
What happened? Teeqzy is a professional Fortnite player who plays for the French team Millennium. He is really good, and when he is on the way, kills rain down on his account. Therefore, he had an impressive 30 kills in one match! This is almost a third of all players in a round that he took down by himself!
At the end of the round, there was only one opponent left, and the safe zone was extremely small. Teeqzy only had to deal with the last enemy, and then a truly epic victory would have been his.
Only one opponent left!
The opponent is trapped! Luckily for Teeqzy, his last opponent didn’t seem to be particularly skilled. He had barricaded himself in a tiny hut and had no escape. Instead of simply taking him out, Teeqzy wanted to celebrate his last kill in a particularly nasty way.
A really nasty trap! He simply opened the door, placed a trap on the ground, and closed it again. You can hardly execute a kill in a meaner and more malicious way. The ground trap regularly deals damage, and without an escape route, it means a painful end for the victim in that cramped space.
Too early to rejoice!
Unfortunately, the “victim” did not want to be one and defended itself. Teeqzy’s opponent still had a decent amount of hitpoints and survived the first damage spikes of the trap. Teeqzy was still in front of the door, dancing joyfully his victory dance, when the supposedly doomed opponent suddenly peeked out and hit Teeqzy with a volley from his weapon.

Recently, Bungie revealed the name of the major autumn expansion for Destiny 2 – Forsaken. However, there may be more behind this name than just the title of the upcoming addon.
On June 4th, Bungie unveiled the name of the next expansion for Destiny 2 in a short teaser. They also provided significant hints on how your Guardian’s journey will continue in autumn 2018. Players will reportedly return to the Reef, the home of the Awoken and also a (currently) allied Fallen – Variks.
However, it is possible that the last known survivor from the House of Judgement is not the only fallen ally that players will find among the ranks of the Fallen.
Can we expect an unusual alliance in Forsaken?
There may also be allied Fallen in Destiny 2. After completing the Destiny 2 campaign, players have the opportunity to return to various locations and engage in different missions.
One mission series on Titan is called “The Enemy of My Enemy” and leads players to the Rat King questline. However, before that, there is an interesting encounter during this mission. Players encounter a Hive Knight and a Fallen Captain fighting against each other in a reactor room.
Notably, the English name of the Fallen stands out: Mithrax, The Forsaken. When Guardians encounter these two fighting enemies, they must decide whom to eliminate. If you take out Mithrax first, you are then forced to destroy the Hive Knight as well.
However, if you take out the Knight first and refrain from shooting at the Fallen afterwards, the Captain remains calm. Mithrax even turns to the Guardian, utters a few words in the language of the Fallen, and then teleports away or assumes a defensive stance instead of attacking his usual enemies. Apparently, he is thankful to his rescuers.
Is this a hint at the autumn expansion? Some fans now believe that Bungie is using this encounter to hint at the upcoming Forsaken expansion and a potential alliance between the Vanguard and the Fallen.
Mithrax is a member of the House of Dusk. According to Destiny Wiki, the House of Dusk is made up of former members of various other Fallen houses. The Fallen regrouped under a new roof after being severely diminished in the storyline of Destiny 1 and losing much of their infrastructure.
The House of Dusk was formed with the aspect of survival in mind. Worshipping and revering Servitors and other machine gods is not at the forefront of this Fallen house. And even though the House of Dusk is currently not friendly toward the Vanguard, many Guardians believe that it would be plausible and even logical to form such an alliance in this time of need.
The Fallen can’t afford to suffer more losses, and the Vanguard is still grappling with the aftermath of the Cabal invasion.
Perhaps Mithrax will help to initiate a new alliance between Guardians and Fallen to withstand new threats together. Bungie is known for ensuring that such nuances never find their way into the game by chance.
However, this is of course just speculation and one of many plausible theories on how the story of Destiny 2 might progress. None of this has been officially confirmed in any way. But in a few hours, we should know more. The official reveal stream for the Forsaken expansion will start then. As is tradition, we will accompany this reveal with a live ticker.
What do you think? Will there actually be such an unusual alliance in Forsaken? Might Prince Uldren even have a say and promote such an alliance?

Those who only buy the standard version are out of luck. Rockstar includes two side missions only in the expensive game variants of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most anticipated games of the year. Therefore, it was not surprising that Rockstar presented several variations of the game yesterday and even introduced an additional box for €100 that does not even include the base game. However, within the content of the various game versions, a major annoyance has emerged. Some of the side missions are only available if players decide to purchase the special editions.
Which content is being withheld? The two side activities “Bank Heist” and “Gang Hideout” are available to players only if they purchase either the Special Edition (€84.99) or the Ultimate Edition (€99.99). Both missions are not part of the main story but belong to the numerous “side activities” that players can engage in within Red Dead Redemption 2.
Players express outrage: On Twitter, Rockstar Games confirmed that the two missions were “specifically crafted for the special editions of the game.” Fans do not believe this and rather think that “Bank Heist” and “Gang Hideout” were cut from the base game to later offer them as a bonus for the special editions. Most players likely would have no problem if various cosmetic items found their way into alternate versions, but when it comes to story content that tempts them to purchase a more expensive version, the fun ends for many.

However, it remains unclear what scope the two missions will have and whether their absence will even be noticed or completely lost in the scope of the game.
The mood among fans is definitely tense now, and accusations are growing that Rockstar is “only out for money.”
What is your opinion on these bonus missions? Can you do without them? And what do you think of the practice of offering story content only in premium editions?

Women often have a hard time gaming. A female streamer reveals the kinds of hostility she sometimes has to deal with.
AnneMunition is one of the more well-known female streamers, with nearly 300,000 subscribers and over 10,000,000 channel views, who has built a loyal audience. A few days ago, she spoke out about how women are still treated in video games and responded to the following questions on Twitter.
“Why don’t you use voice chat?” “Why can’t I find a girlfriend who plays video games?” “Why do you mute people when they ask if you’re really a woman?”
In the video, she only shows clips from a single round of “Rainbow Six Siege” and what kind of hostility rains down there – solely because she is a woman.

In the video, it seems she can’t please the gentlemen of creation either. When she dies early in a round, she is insulted for being “so bad.” When she then gets multiple kills, they say she “took them from the others.”
Further insults come continuously during the match:
“How old is it?”
“Your kind is not welcome here.”
“Hey, tranny bitch, kill her.”
“We are not like this because we dislike women. We are like this because you suck.”
“Are you playing the right game, lady? This is not League of Legends or some shit where you just flaunt your tits in the stream.”
“I hope you die.”
Mixed reactions as a response: The reactions to the video are varied. On one hand, AnneMunition receives a lot of support from other women who also state that they always end up as targets for hate when they reveal themselves. Some other players counter that one “shouldn’t take it so seriously” and that insults on the internet are just part of it. It’s pure coincidence that it sometimes also affects women.
In an interview with Kotaku, AnneMunition added that she thinks “maybe I’m a naive fool, but I don’t refuse to accept that we can’t all treat each other a little nicer.” She is tired of the subject being swept under the rug time and again and everyone pretending that everything in this area is fine.
“Players have learned that they can do these things without fearing any consequences.”
The new bounce pads are coming today, Tuesday, June 5th, to Fortnite: Battle Royale. What else will be included in Content Patch 4.3? There was no server maintenance! And the challenges for week 6 will only become active on Thursday. We have the patch notes in German.
The patch notes for Fortnite 4.3
Update: Update 4.3 has now been released. The admittedly quite short patch notes are already available:
Fortnite Battle Royale 4.3: The bounce pads are now in the game as expected – this is a rare trap that can be found in treasure chests, llamas, supply drops, and simply from the ground. They can be placed on walls or on floors.
Fortnite Save the World 4.3: Diecast Jonsey and Chromium Ramirez are available in the “Save the World” event store. Both will be available starting June 6th. This is what they look like. We have included them in the featured image.
Original article:
Bounce pads come in today’s update to Fortnite Battle Royale: The “simple” bounce pads will still be familiar to the veterans among you. These could cover a large distance in a specific direction in Fortnite. These bounce pads were removed in the meantime and are returning today.
Because their rarity level will be lower than that of normal bounce pads (epic/purple), the new bounce pads can be found significantly more often.
The catch with the bounce pads: You will not receive fall damage. So you can build a tall fortress, place the bounce pad in the middle, and easily escape in a dangerous situation. But even in combination with shopping carts, you can move even faster.
When will the update for Fortnite arrive? The content update 4.3 is expected to be available around 2 PM German time. Unlike in previous weeks, there will be no server maintenance. The bounce pads are expected to be found in the game world starting from 2 PM.

Player reporting
Specifically, the ability to report players is often a hot topic. Epic promises a comprehensive communication on this soon.

The long-awaited mobile MMO Royal Blood (Android and iOS) is finally here. You can now download and play it for free on Android and iOS phones and tablets.
What is it about? Behind Royal Blood lies one of the most ambitious mobile MMORPGs of recent times. The game from South Korea aims to change the way you see mobile MMOs especially in the West. According to the developers, they have totally revamped nearly all aspects of the game and took their time with the release.
Therefore, Royal Blood was released on June 5 instead of the originally planned December 2017.
A mobile game in the style of a PC MMORPG
Royal Blood has some unique features that are meant to distinguish it from previous mobile MMOs. Here are some of the most prominent features of Royal Blood:
The Unity graphics engine looks great and has already won two awards
In Royal Blood, you should not rely on autopilot. Those who don’t play themselves won’t be able to tackle the most lucrative challenges
There are four heroes (Warrior, Bard, Mage, and Archer), each with two skill sets, allowing for different play styles
In addition to the usual quests and tasks, there are events in the world that promise special rewards and further enhance the gameplay
There is a crafting system that allows you to create your own items
Life skills, such as fishing, are also included. So you don’t always have to fight.
There are raids in PvE against particularly nasty bosses
In the 3vs3 PvP arena, you fight as a small team against other players
Fans of mass battles compete in 70vs70 clashes
The best PvP players can be crowned ruler for a week if they are particularly victorious in the battles.
Royal Blood: Free download for Android and Apple
You can now download Royal Blood from the Apple App Store or from the Google Play Store. The game is free. However, there are items in the shop that you can buy with real money. According to the developers, these items are also available in the game. It just goes faster with real money.

Sony begins the countdown to the E3 2018. Before the fair starts, a new game will be revealed daily starting June 6th.
On the official PlayStation Blog, Sony announced its own countdown to E3. In this context, the company plans to gradually reveal something new daily starting June 6th, until the main event in the form of the official E3 presentation is served on June 12th at 03:00 AM.
Sony’s E3 Countdown – What You Need to Know
The E3 has not yet started, but Sony wants to provide excited fans with exciting information and updates even before the game fair.
Which games are in the running? Official information is scarce here. However, two allegedly leaked lists are currently circulating that could possibly provide insight into which titles some of the countdown dates may refer to.
If the lists are to be believed, the three new games could possibly be a new Bioshock with VR mode, Bloodborne 2, or Devil May Cry 5. The title from the Worldwide Studios could be The Last of Us 2.

In Black Desert, hackers are causing disturbances, gaining unfair advantages in PvP or buying out the auction house. Players feel that Kakao Games isn’t doing enough to combat these hackers.
Black Desert requires a lot of time and effort: Black Desert is a PvP-focused game where you can be attacked by other players at any time once you reach a certain level. To craft the best equipment for PvP, players need silver and materials. However, some players do not want to “work” for their gear for hours.
Black Desert has a bot problem
With bots to the top: To contribute at the top in Black Desert, players need to play a lot and grind. It’s clear that some players choose the path of least resistance and let a bot handle the grinding.
Speed hackers are causing trouble, among other places, in the Hystria Ruins. Since there are rarely players there, they can hunt monsters undisturbed. If they encounter another player, they simply switch channels.
Those who cheat become rich: According to a Reddit user, speed hackers in Hysteria make between 100 million to 200 million silver per hour. With this money, hackers then buy rare resources in the auction house and inflate prices.
Players accuse Kakao Games that the publisher is not doing anything against the botters because they leave money in the cash shop.
There are other ways: In BDO Korea or BDO Southeast Asia, the last names of banned players are regularly published. This way, players see that the developers are reacting to the hackers.
Hacks for everyone
Hacks are openly distributed and advertised: Hacking in Black Desert isn’t even difficult. Anyone with an internet-enabled device and knowledge of how to use Google will quickly find what they need.
In relevant forums, one can buy attack and spell speed hacks, allowing players to spam their abilities. Players can also disable animations, enabling various skills to be triggered consecutively without pause.
Or you set your attack speed to 100. As stated in the offer: “Higher numbers are possible, choose the number you like.”
But the hacks don’t just limit themselves to fighting. They can also increase your cooking speed if you want. The hack is then available as a complete package for $30.
How does Black Desert solve its typical MMORPG problem?
Typical MMORPG problem: Almost all major MMORPGs suffer or have suffered from such hacks and bots. An entire industry exists around these games. For example, Blizzard fought for years against the German bot manufacturer “Bossland”. Players are closely observing how the publishers are tackling this battle against bots and hackers. Apparently, Kakao Games is doing too little in Black Desert to ensure a fair game.

Neowiz has released the patch notes for Patch v1.0.0.8. These changes are expected by the players of Bless Online.
Why was the class balance adjusted? Shortly after Bless Online launched in Early Access, some players complained that the game was too easy. Monsters and players would die far too quickly, and the gameplay just didn’t feel right.
In response, Neowiz released Patch v.1.0.0.4, which reduced the damage of all classes, increased their health points, and lowered the mana costs of abilities.
A little too well-intentioned: However, with Patch v.1.0.0.4, issues arose. The early game had become unplayable for some classes, as monsters were taking too much damage. Classes that did not focus on damage were particularly affected. The patch was released on June 1, 2018.
Only a few days have passed since the last patch, yet Neowiz has already implemented a new patch. Patch v1.0.0.8 addresses some of the players’ concerns.
Leveling between level 11 to 13 should feel better. Some quests can now be started earlier and they grant more experience points.
The health points of open world monsters have been reduced.
Level 1-15: by -30%
Level 16-40: by -25%
Level 41 and above: by -20%
The health points of monsters in dungeons have been reduced by 20%. This affects the dungeons Guiscard Hideout, Sleeping Scale Remains, Balmont Dungeon, Mausoleum of the Wise Ones.
The damage bonus from combo chains has been increased. You now receive a damage bonus from a 2-hit combo, and it is overall higher.
Additionally, Neowiz is changing the abilities of some classes.
Guardian:
The ability “Shield Upper Swing” now has a cooldown of 15 seconds.
The ability “Draw Sword” now has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Berserker:
Players gain 10% more “Anger” when they successfully execute the last ability in a chain.
The modified “Rampage Tactic” stance now sets the cooldown of the “Assault” ability to 10 seconds.
Ranger:
The ability “Steady Concentration” and the way it can be modified have been adjusted.
The ability “Dodge Move” and the way it can be modified have been adjusted.
The modified chain bonus time has been increased from 2 seconds to 5 seconds.
Wizard:
In the “Cold Tactic” stance, the cooldown of the combo starter “Biting Cold” has been increased from 0 to 7 seconds.
The cooldown of the ability “Thunderbolt” in the “Atmospheric Tactic” stance has been increased from 0 to 7 seconds.
Big Plans for the Future
The upcoming changes: Neowiz has also commented on future adjustments. The chain bonuses should only be interrupted if the player misses with an ability.
Currently, the combo chain is interrupted if an ability misses, the opponent dodges, resists, or is immune. However, since players can only influence their hit rate, only missing should lead to a combo break.
When will the action camera come? Neowiz also comments on the announced action camera. They found that all classes, except for the Berserker, are not optimally controllable with the camera during development.
Therefore, they want to fine-tune the camera but are currently focusing on stabilization and balance. They will provide fans with more information once they can estimate when the action camera will find its way into the game.
Neowiz wants the action camera to be activatable for all classes except the Paladin.
The Community’s Mood is Shifting
This is what the community thinks: In recent days, the mood of the Bless community has shifted. They are trying to give Neowiz constructive feedback and are pleased with the developer’s open communication. With the patch, Neowiz has also nerfed the wizard, which many players view positively. In recent days, wizards have jumped through Bless Online and spammed the ability “Biting Cold” of the “Cold Tactic” stance while completely ignoring the combo system.
Where many negative comments dominated at launch, the mood is now more positive and hopeful.
