Throne and Liberty: Missing Characters and Friends Lists – Amazon Games on Known Issues

Karsten Scholz 8. October 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

At the launch of Throne and Liberty, there were and continue to be a number of issues. Now, Amazon Games has addressed the known problems and the solutions that have been implemented so far.

What is this status update from Amazon Games? In a letter to the community (via playthroneandliberty.com), the publisher discussed many of the problems that could have hampered the MMORPG fans’ experience at the launch of Throne and Liberty and continue to do so in some cases.

The server issues were addressed, but also the inability to create characters (Error 10), invisible friend lists, auction house bugs, the resetting of settings, and the faulty connection with the Amazon Games ID.

Here we talk about our launch experience in Throne and Liberty:

Known Issues and Solutions

Why were there server issues at launch? The gate servers were so heavily loaded due to the number of logins that many players could no longer connect to the world servers. Additionally, the servers reached the limits of their resource utilization. Many of the launch problems have now been resolved:

The number of gate servers was nearly tripled almost everywhere
The server services were scaled up (for example, by adding more memory) to provide more resources for the processes
In addition, new servers were made available and the capacities were increased

These measures have eliminated many problems, but they have not been fully resolved yet. The technical team at Amazon Games is currently working on the remaining issues.

Why could no new characters be created? When a world reaches the upper limit for character creation, it is no longer possible to create new characters there. However, affected players only received the error message 10 instead of this information. This caused confusion, for which the publisher apologizes.

However, due to the previously mentioned increase in server capacities, there should now rarely be any queues or restrictions for creating new characters.

Why is the friend list not visible? The reason for this is still unclear. The developers are currently analyzing why friend requests sometimes remain on the screen even after they have been accepted or declined.

Amazon’s MMORPG has only 1 percent of its players left, responds to the case with … a new subscription

What is the current status of the auction house? On some early access servers in the Europe region, there was a problem where the auction houses were blocked. The efforts to consolidate them caused new problems.

Items could not be listed, items were shown as sold even though they were not, new items could not be listed, and the delivery of Lucent was delayed.

Meanwhile, the bugs responsible for this have been found, so the above-mentioned problems should no longer occur.

Why doesn’t Throne and Liberty save my settings? This problem was related to some key servers in the backend being overloaded that are responsible for saving your settings. In collaboration with NCSoft, Amazon Games has brought more of these servers online to handle the additional load from many new players.

Despite this measure, some players still have the issue where they cannot see their created character. It is still present but has been saved in the wrong region. Fixing this bug is currently the highest priority for Amazon Games.

Why couldn’t I claim my rewards? There is a problem with linking the Throne and Liberty account with the Amazon Games ID. An investigation is still ongoing. In the meantime, Amazon Games has started to manually distribute the missing rewards to those affected.

Where can I find a complete list of all known issues? In the support area of Amazon Games, via amazongames.com.

He left Bethesda because there were too many meetings – Now he is creating an open world that is much larger than Skyrim

Cedric Holmeier 8. October 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

If a creative profession gradually turns into a calendar full of meetings, it can diminish one’s enthusiasm for the job. A developer of Skyrim experienced something similar and now prefers to focus on his own game on Steam.

Who is it about? The developer Nate Purkeypile was once one of the key employees at Bethesda. He has been working for the company since 2007 and played a central role in the development of popular games like Fallout 3 and 4 as well as Skyrim.

At the company, he worked as a Lead Lighting Artist. He was responsible for designing and implementing the lighting in the game, ensuring that the atmosphere in the areas was right. However, over time, he became less and less fond of the atmosphere at his employer, Bethesda.

Here you can see the trailer for the developer’s own game:

Start video

Autoplay

More employees, more meetings, less enthusiasm

What changed at Bethesda? Nate Purkeypile was involved in the development of Starfield early on. At that time, he was one of 65 employees. However, as the development progressed, the team continued to grow. In the end, more than 500 employees are said to have worked on Starfield.

With the growth of the team, the number of meetings that Purkeypile found himself in also increased. The meetings and the many employees made his creative work increasingly difficult. He himself states, “There were too many meetings, and that was not my way of developing games.”

Is he alone in this opinion? No, probably not. Other former employees of Bethesda have expressed similar sentiments. The lead level designer of Fallout 76, Daryl Brigner, stated about his employer that “it is harder than ever to know who is doing what and who you are accountable to.”

The lead designer of Starfield, Will Shen, felt the same way. He said that “all departments are fighting over resources and respond to collaboration requests with ‘no.’ […] Something as simple as ordering a chair was not so simple.”

New studio, new game, more creativity

What happened next for him? Nate Purkeypile left Bethesda in 2021 to start his own development studio. At Just Purkey Games, he aims to develop smaller, more independent projects where developers have more freedom and creativity.

His new game The Axis Unseen also offers players a lot of freedom. Thanks to an open world that is said to be more than 5 times the size of Skyrim’s, players can discover a lot. The game is a kind of horror hunting game, where everything revolves around archery.

You take on the role of a hunter who battles monsters using a bow and arrow. Despite the vast open world, the game leaves nothing to chance, and the atmosphere is well-staged.

The Axis Unseen will be released on October 22, 2024, on Steam. However, you can already check out the free demo version of the game to see if the title convinces you.

Even without the developer Nate Purkeypile, work on Starfield continued. The space game has now received a new DLC. Shattered Space was released on September 30, 2024, and has elicited mixed feelings from players: Some consider Starfield: Shattered Space to be the best Bethesda DLC ever, but the reviews on Steam are weak.

Young Pro Insults Older Player Online in DOTA 2, Meets Him Months Later in a Hotel and the Situation Escalates

Schuhmann 8. October 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

In DOTA 2 (Steam), there has been a scandal in e-sports. A dispute between a 27-year-old Russian and a 19-year-old player from Jordan escalated in a hotel lobby on the outskirts of a professional match. The teams and the league have commented on this. In hindsight, no one really wants to take responsibility.

Here are the two young men:

The Jordanian Ammar “ATF” Al-Assaf (19) is an offlaner and carry for Team Falcons. He has earned $824,000 with DOTA 2. At the Riyadh Masters 2024 alone, he took home $120,000.
The 27-year-old Russian Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev is a support and captain of Team AVULUS. He has earned about $415,000 with DOTA 2. His greatest achievement was 13th place in The International 2019 – which secured him nearly $103,000.

The two obviously do not like each other, as the story reveals.

19-Year-Old Calls the Russian “Braindead” in a Standard Match

This is how the dispute arose: Three months ago, both played against each other in a normal match in DOTA 2. It was really just about reaching a certain rating.

The 19-year-old ATF won the match and called the Russian “braindead”.

The Russian is said to have threatened him, but ATF did not take it seriously.

For the Russian, being called “braindead” by a much younger player apparently felt like a severe insult that wounded his honor, and he did not forget it but wanted to address the issue.

Jordanian Feels Threatened Before the Match

This is how the dispute escalated: Both teams were now participating in a match of the “PGL Wallachia Season 2” and were staying at the same hotel. The teams were supposed to play against each other.

But before the match, the Russian approached the younger Jordanian in the lobby, put his arm around him, and threatened to “hit him and send him to the ground.” At least, that is the Jordanian’s account.

ATF responded: “Please, hit me.”

The Russian reportedly challenged him to go outside, apparently to resolve the conflict with fists.

But that did not happen, as the dispute was interrupted when managers, coaches, and players of the Russian team intervened.

League Condemns Behavior and Imposes Minor Penalty

What are the consequences? The league itself, the PLG, has imposed a minor penalty on the Russian and his team, a so-called “third-degree draft penalty.” This ultimately means that they have less time to select champions. Moreover, the league condemned the behavior and stated that it expects more professionalism.

Team Falcon stands behind their player ATF. They expect that an older player like SoNNeiko should not react to trash talk with threats of violence. They also called for harsher penalties from the league – the draft penalty is not enough.

Russian Says: He Just Wanted to Politely Ask How It’s Going

This is how the Russian sees the situation: From the Russian’s perspective, the situation was different (via x). He just wanted to confront the young Jordanian and address that he had insulted him three months ago. He probably thought that face-to-face, the young man would back down and apologize.

He intended to be friendly and just wanted to place his hand on his shoulder. SoNNeiko says he expected an apology, but was shocked when everyone immediately intervened.

He also wants to clarify what he meant by “going outside”: He just wanted to suggest that they have a private conversation to calmly clarify things. The Jordanian suddenly responded, “Go ahead and hit me.” SoNNeiko feels completely misunderstood.

By the way, the match between both teams was won clearly by Team Falcons, the Jordanian’s team, with a score of 2-0. But somehow, that didn’t really matter anymore. In e-sports, there are always scandals and problems: CS:GO – A successful professional caster (33) apparently ruins his 8-year career with a wild night in Rio

The moral of the story: Don’t call strangers braindead, you don’t know how they will react.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred: The best build for the Spiritborn dominates the endgame, is super easy to play

Benedict Grothaus 8. October 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

With Vessel of Hatred, Diablo 4 has finally received its first expansion and with it the new class of the Spiritborn. It has quickly proven to be one of the strongest classes. MeinMMO shows you the currently best build for the Spiritborn.

[toc]

What kind of build is this? The Spike Salvo build currently leads the tier list for Season 6 in Diablo 4, alongside some others. With this build, you harness the power of the Eagle Spirit and throw feathers around you that explode, blowing apart single enemies or decimating groups.

These are the strengths of the build:

easy to play; you basically just spam one attack
you only need one legendary affix to start
equally useful against large groups and bosses
enormous defense while maintaining high damage output
fully utilizes the potential of the Spiritborn and its spirits

General gameplay for the Spiritborn and a potential leveling build can be seen here:

Start video

Diablo 4: This is what a Jaguar-Eagle build from the Spirit Born in Vessel of Hatred looks like

Autoplay

That’s why Spike Salvo is the best build for the Spiritborn

The core skill Spike Salvo fires multiple feathers in a cone in front of you that pierce enemies. If you fan the feathers wide, that is, stand farther away, you hit many enemies. If you stand right in front of an enemy, the skill acts like a shotgun and quickly tears apart even bosses.

Your damage, in addition, largely comes from increased armor later on. So, you deal more damage with more defense. This makes the Spike Salvo build an extremely strong all-rounder that, according to the expert wudijo, could even be the best build in the game.

To start, you only need the Bouncing Aspect. You get it in the “Forge of Malice” dungeon. The aspect ensures that feathers from Spike Salvo explode at the outermost point and then return. This allows you to hit enemies up to 20 times.

You can find the entrance to the dungeon as well as many other aspects for the Spiritborn on the interactive map for Vessel of Hatred.

Spike Salvo Build for the Spiritborn – These items, skills, and runes you need

You can find interactive builds in English for the Spike Salvo Spiritborn at d4builds-gg and maxroll.gg. What you need for the build in detail we explain to you here in the overview.

The right skill allocation for the Spike Salvo build

Although you play an Eagle build, you use the Gorilla as the primary and the Jaguar as the secondary spirit in your spirit hall. This is necessary to receive adequate defense and later benefit from your unique helmet. The active skills look as follows:

Spike Salvo
Armor Skin
Scourge
Devastator
The Predator

You can also add either Rake, Counterstrike, or Vortex depending on your preferences and available items. When leveling up, and if you still have issues with resource generation, you should pack Rock Splitter instead of Scourge.

An exemplary talent tree with all skills, ranks, and passive talents can be found here in the talent planner from wowhead. In wudijo’s video, you will see the build in action:

These legendaries and uniques you need for the build

You absolutely need the Bouncing Aspect for the Spike Salvo build to work at all. You can find it in the “Forge of Malice” dungeon. Most other aspects must be found randomly. A good source is the gambler. These aspects strengthen your build at the start:

Offensive aspects:

Unyielding Hits – The most important aspect in the build for more damage
Cursed Touch
Diverted Power
Plane Strength
Moonrise

Defensive aspects:

Forest Strength
Endurance
Prohibition
Disobedience

Versatile aspects:

Dueling Aspect

Once you reach the endgame and can reliably farm torment levels, start looking for additional aspects and specific uniques for the Spiritborn:

Aspect of Binding Fear (Skatsimi-God House)
Harmony of Ebewaka (Helmet, Beast in Ice)
Hyacinth Cover (Chest, Lord Zir)
Ring of the Midnight Sun (Ring, Grigoire)
Staff of Kepeleke (Weapon, Duriel/Andariel)
Rakanoth’s Watch (Boots, no special farm spot)

If you ever manage to farm a Mythic or even directly craft one, you should quickly acquire Tyrael’s Might. Thanks to your high defense and barriers, you can constantly trigger the effect.

Here you will find all farm guides for the Uber bosses:

von Nicole Wakulczyk

These glyphs and paragon boards you need

Blizzard has significantly revamped the Paragon system and glyphs with Season 6. Therefore, you now have a bit more choice regarding the Paragon boards and glyphs. The following glyphs are recommended, to be leveled in this order:

Unload or Calm
Claw
Spirit
Revenge
Colossal

And the following boards:

Start (Spirit or Unload)
Sturdy Shield (Calm or Spirit)
Revelatory (Colossal)
Convergence (Claw)
Tapping (Revenge)

The best runes and mercenaries

With Vessel of Hatred, runes and rune words have been introduced into the game. If you place an activation rune and an effect rune in an item with two sockets, you create a rune word that can provide you with additional abilities and effects. For the Spike Salvo build, you should ideally use:

PocQue – By spending life force, you gain barriers through the Druid’s bulwark
XolKry – When you use a skill of another class, you cast the Vortex of the Spiritborn
TamOhm – Using skills enables you to cast the Barbarian’s battle cry, making you faster and dealing more damage

The ideal slots for the runes are your weapon and the headpiece.

Also, with Vessel of Hatred, mercenaries have been introduced. These are NPCs that accompany you and fight for you. Which mercenaries you take here depends on your preferences, but Raheir as a companion and Varyana as reinforcement are recommended.

With the Spike Salvo build for the Spiritborn, you should be able to be at the forefront regarding pit push and farm. Hardly any build is currently as strong as this one. Only the leveling could become tedious: After over 300 hours in Diablo 4, I suddenly feel weak in Vessel of Hatred

One of the best games of all time is finally coming to PC

Karsten Scholz 8. October 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Update: The release for PC is confirmed! Data miners have found hints that the people responsible for Rockstar Games are currently preparing for the PC release of a game that holds an average score of 95 on Metacritic: Red Dead Redemption 1.

Update from October 8, 2024: There is finally the official confirmation! Red Dead Redemption is set to release in the Game of the Year edition on October 29, 2024 for Steam and the Epic Games Store. Included: the Undead Nightmare expansion. The PC port is expected to offer the following technical features:

Native 4K resolution
Support for ultrawide and super ultrawide
HDR10 support, full keyboard and mouse functions
Support for NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0
NVIDIA DLSS frame generation

A price has not yet been announced. More information can be found in the original report.

Original report from May 14, 2024: The findings of data miner Tez2 revolve around Red Dead Redemption, which was released in 2010 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Although there is now the option to experience the Western epic on newer Xbox and PlayStation consoles as well as the Nintendo Switch, there has never been a port for PC. Unlike the hugely successful sequel Red Dead Redemption 2 from 2018: which was considered by some to be the best game of recent years.

While the first RDR is said to have sold around eight million units, the sequel has surpassed 36 million units sold. Here is the trailer for RDR2:

Start video

Red Dead Redemption 2: Official Trailer

Autoplay

The first Red Dead Redemption is considered a classic and is among the highest-rated games on Metacritic. Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions boast an average rating of 95.

What has the data miner discovered? According to Tez2, a few hours ago there was an update for the Rockstar launcher. The new files include promotional strings advertising that Red Dead Redemption and the zombie spin-off Undead Nightmare will be playable on PC.

https://twitter.com/TezFunz2/status/1790031522315026508

Using such a string, the Rockstar team has previously promoted other games like GTA V, as Tez2 noted in another tweet on X.

What is the significance of this discovery? It is difficult to assess from a distance. However, it is clear that there have been many rumors about a PC version of Red Dead Redemption that have always turned out to be false. Therefore, until an official confirmation, you should view this discovery with some skepticism.

von Sophia Weiss

Is Red Dead Redemption still fun today? RDR is a typical Rockstar game, with all the narrative and gameplay qualities that you can also find in the sequel, the GTA series, or in Max Payne.

Last year, only the Switch port proved that the game can keep up with modern open-world adventures.

The technology is also quite decent thanks to the remaster. The only downsides were the constant aliasing and the high price on Nintendo’s handheld console hybrid. By the way, there was also a leak before the PC release of RDR2, and it hit the nail on the head

You are looking for a recommendation for Prime Day that costs less than 50 euros. MeinMMO gives you a few sensible options.

For the 2nd Prime Day 2024, there are thousands of deals on Amazon. But which ones are really recommended? MeinMMO presents a series of deals that you can get for under 50 euros. You can read about which deals are particularly worthwhile with us.

By the way, you can read about which products you should definitely not buy in the following article directly on MeinMMO:

Docking Station for Steam Deck or Gaming Handheld

If you want to use your Steam Deck or another gaming handheld not only on the go but also as a PC replacement with a large monitor, a docking station is recommended. The Anker model currently costs 29.99 euros and has 4.5 stars from over 120 reviews.

Anker is a renowned manufacturer, especially known for accessories. However, Anker had security problems with its security brand Eufy.

Vertical Mouse

A vertical mouse is definitely recommended for everyday use, as it relieves your wrist when sitting at the desk for long periods. You can get a budget option with a model from Trust for under 20 euros.

If you want to invest a bit more, we recommend the Logitech MX Vertical. The mouse is better in every respect but costs around 60 euros. For gaming, a vertical mouse is only limitedly recommended: In slow-paced and calm games, such as strategy games, such a mouse is usable. However, when it gets fast and a good sensor is required, vertical mice lag behind.

Razer Basilisk V3

The Razer Basilisk was long considered a “copy” of the popular G502 from Logitech. Even the freely scrolling and locked scrolling mouse wheel from Logitech was adopted by Razer as Razer Hyperscroll. Nevertheless, in everyday use, it is a very good companion.

The mouse is highly recommended for players who enjoy playing a variety of games without wanting to commit to a specific genre. For a shooter mouse, it is almost too heavy at 82 grams. Additionally, it may be too large for smaller hands. The “sniper” button is positioned a bit too far forward.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

512 GB Memory Card

An SD card is a practical way to expand the storage of the Steam Deck or another gaming handheld. Or to provide more storage space in a camera or your phone. Unfortunately, this does not always work, as not all phones now offer expandable internal storage.

With Samsung, storage upgrades are only available for the high-end models of the Ultra series. However, 512 GB for under 50 euros is usually a fair offer.

A war movie by Clint Eastwood is praised by historians for taking a step that is unusual in Hollywood

Christoph Waldboth 8. October 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Movies about war often trigger gasps from historians. Battles are misrepresented or inaccurately portrayed, lacking historical accuracy. However, this is not the case with a film by Clint Eastwood.

Which film is it? We are talking about Letters from Iwo Jima by Clint Eastwood. This film, released in 2006, tells the story of the historical battle of Iwo Jima in the Pacific War. Here, American forces stormed the island of the same name and fought against Japanese defenders.

In the end, all warring parties suffered significant losses, but particularly among the Japanese forces, only a fraction survived. Thus, the battle was won by the Americans.

Clint Eastwood, who works as a director in addition to his acting, depicts the course of the battle from two perspectives. In Letters from Iwo Jima from the Japanese viewpoint and in another film called Flags of Our Fathers from the American perspective. This is quite unusual for Hollywood, as usually only the own perspective finds a place on screen.

However, the effort has paid off, at least from the historians’ perspective. They particularly praise Letters from Iwo Jima as a very good war film. A series by Steven Spielberg has also received similar praise.

Start video

The American Perspective on the Battle of Iwo Jima – Trailer for ‘Flags of Our Fathers’

Autoplay

“An accurate portrayal”

What makes the film so good? In a video by Insider on YouTube, historian John McManus reviews scenes from various war films and rates them on a scale from 0 to 10. In some examples, he has quite a few criticisms, but the two films by Eastwood receive praise.

Especially Letters from Iwo Jima is said to be very authentic when it comes to depicting the details of the battle. The historian emphasizes the tunnels shown, where the Japanese troops entrenched themselves. These tunnels extended about 27 kilometers across the entire island.

According to the historian, the great strength of the films lies in the fact that they do not tell a one-sided story, but show both perspectives. This allows for a better understanding of the events of the time from today’s viewpoint and creates “an accurate portrayal”.

By the way, the historian rates the films 10/10 and 9/10 points. This makes them a must-see duo that is unmatched within the genre.

Star Wars: There Are No Real Spectators in the Podrace – They Tricked with a Everyday Object

Niko Hernes 8. October 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Before the exuberant use of CGI and greenscreens in big films and series, filmmakers had to trick and work with practical effects: masks, miniatures, or self-built sets. A cool trick was used in Star Wars: Episode 1 during the Podrace.

What is it about? Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace was released in 1999, and despite many effects and the use of CGI, there are still some practical effects used here as well. One of the most interesting tricks happens during the Podrace with Anakin.

Anakin must win the Podrace for Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi as a little boy. The race has a large audience, which celebrates the victory of young Anakin in the end. However, the audience is made neither of real actors nor CGI. It consists of cotton swabs.

Another science fiction movie revolutionized CGI but was penalized for it: This film revolutionized CGI in movies, yet did not receive an Oscar because computer effects were considered “cheating”

450,000 cotton swabs instead of real spectators

How were the spectators simulated? In a short YouTube clip, the channel @EuphoricMovie explains how the spectators in the Podrace were made. First, they built the stage and scenery as a miniature. Then they inserted 450,000 cotton swabs into the miniature.

They painted these in various colors. To prevent the spectators from standing still like stiff statues, they placed hairdryers under the cotton swabs that blew air upwards, causing the cotton swabs to move and create the illusion that the audience was celebrating.

In the first trilogy, painting was used to create effects. In the first trilogy, the emphasis was primarily on the brush. Flicks And The City shows on YouTube how the images of large stormtrooper armies were created.

They relied on painted backgrounds and characters. There were only a few real stormtroopers on set, while the rest of the army was drawn. In the clip, you can also see that the sky of the Cloud City was painted by Lando. This achieved picturesque settings without the use of CGI or massive sets.

Throne and Liberty: How to unlock the waypoint from Saurodoma Island

Cedric Holmeier 8. October 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In the southeast of the map of Throne and Liberty lies Saurodoma Island. However, there are some things to consider in order to unlock the waypoint.

What are the prerequisites? To get to Saurodoma Island, it’s worth unlocking the waypoint to the island. From there, you can easily and quickly access anywhere on the island and into the open-world dungeon.

The waypoint for Saurodoma Island can only be unlocked if your server has already unlocked the milestone “Unbroken Hatred.” To check this, you can open the menu and click on the milestone option.

The milestone “Unbroken Hatred” can be found there in Chapter 4.

In Throne and Liberty, everything is easier with a guild:

Autoplay

How to unlock the waypoint

To unlock the waypoint of Saurodoma Island, you first need to get there. The waypoint is located on a kind of tower and can only be reached by flying from the Gigantrit, the large flying whale.

To reach the whale, you need to fly to it from an elevated point. On the following map, you can see the points from which this works well:

In red, you see the possible starting points on the image. In light blue, we marked the destination, the waypoint on Saurodoma Island. For all red points, you should try to get as high up as possible.

At the Reinlicht Tower, you can run up the stairs to the very top and fly off to the whale from the peak.
At the ruins of the Starlight Observatory, you should pull yourself up to the highest point of the ruins using hooks.
At the ruins of the Titan Lair, you should climb the outer wall and fly off to the whale from the highest tower.

What happens once you’re on the whale? Once you’re on the whale, you’ve really done the hardest part. Now you just need to wait a while until the creature flies towards the coast of Saurodoma Island. Tip: Use the opportunity to farm ores that grow on the back of the whale.

As soon as you’re over the island with the whale, you should see a green plateau from above. That’s where the waypoint is located. If you still have trouble seeing it, you can also create a waypoint by right-clicking on the map.

Once you arrive, you just need to activate the waypoint. From now on, you can teleport there anytime. The island has an open-world dungeon that promises good loot. However, if you prefer cooperative dungeons, you should follow a specific strategy to achieve the best loot: A player has calculated how to get good loot from the dungeons in Throne and Liberty most easily

DrDisrespect is disappointed by a friend for whom he did everything: “My daughter called him uncle”

Schuhmann 8. October 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The streamer Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm has lost many friends and business partners since it became known why he was banned from Twitch in 2020. In a stream on YouTube, he now talks about disappointments and introduces a partner who stands by him.

This is the situation around DrDisrespect: DrDisrespect has always been someone who collaborated with other streamers or publicly bantered with them. He playfully clashed with shroud, Asmongold, and xQc:

he saw shroud as a wuss who had crashed a little scooter.
xQc may have tens of thousands of viewers, but he only plays children’s games.
MMORPGs like WoW are the worst, he said towards Asmongold. If streamers only played stuff like that, they would all soon be unemployed because nobody would want to watch.

But these banterings with other streamers became difficult already after his Twitch ban in 2020. Twitch implemented stricter rules that prohibited streamers from collaborating with DrDisrespect.

However, as more Twitch streamers later switched to YouTube, DrDisrespect was often seen with old friends and playing together in shooters, such as with TimTheTatman or CourageJD. He was also friends with Nickmercs and defended him when NickMercs got into trouble with Activision Blizzard over a statement regarding LGBTQ+.

But after his latest scandal, even close friends of DrDisrespect have distanced themselves.

DrDisrespect says: He has only been privately friends with one streamer over the years

This is what DrDisrespect says now: In a stream on YouTube, the streamer talks about how people have turned away from him to avoid being associated with him. Even people he never thought would.

DrDisrespect says: Normally, he lets no one close to him personally. There is online life and there is private life. He has never let anyone into his private life over the years.

But he made an exception for one person. He opened all doors for this person, included them in his close private circle. He loved this person. He offered them so many opportunities to advance in business, to network, he did everything for this person.

It got to the point where the baby-assassin [his daughter] called them uncle and aunt. But when this shit happened, what did they do? They gave me the cold shoulder. It… PUSSY! Fucking hypocritical pussy.

Link to the YouTube content

Who is he talking about? It is unknown. The chat on YouTube has two suspects: streamers Zlaner and TimTheTatman, with whom DrDisrespect has worked closely in the past.

But whether it is one of those two streamers is unclear:

TimTheTatman has actually been on a clear success path since 2017/2018, since he played Fortnite with Ninja. The burly, kind-hearted streamer is actually too successful to be orbiting DrDisrespect, who suffered a significant setback with the Twitch ban in 2020. TimTheTatman said, it breaks his heart, but he can no longer support DrDisrespect.

ZLaner was DrDisrespect’s former duo partner in Warzone. He distanced himself from DrDisrespect because he feared to alienate potential advertising partners.

Even if he may not have specifically promoted him, it is quite conceivable that DrDisrespect is really disappointed in TimTheTatman. He and TimTheTatman have apparently worked closely together all these years and the public banter seemed to stem from a healthy relationship. And TimTheTatman is really the kind of guy people would like to call uncle: Streamers are close to tears as they talk about what their friend DrDisrespect has done.

Streamer causes accident with expensive sports car due to irresponsible driving – Now asks fans for money

Johanna 8. October 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

After the kick streamer Jack Doherty caused a car accident through his own fault, wrecked his expensive sports car, and was banned from the streaming platform Kick, he is now brazenly asking his fans for money on TikTok Live. Many reacted with outrage when they saw that hundreds of dollars were being donated to him.

Why was Jack Doherty banned on Kick? On October 5, 2024, the influencer had a car accident on the highway. He was driving his McLaren in pouring rain and was not paying attention to the road, instead looking at his phone.

Shortly after he accelerated, the car skidded and the streamer crashed into the guardrail along with his cameraman, who was in the passenger seat. The entire accident was streamed live on Kick.

Even immediately after the car accident, Jack Doherty was live on his iPhone and handed the phone to his injured cameraman so that he could continue filming him.

In the German-speaking streaming scene, MontanaBlack is also negligent while driving:

After being banned on Kick, Jack Doherty asks for money on TikTok

Since he can no longer earn any income through Kick, Jack Doherty has now switched to TikTok. A clip of his appearance on the short video platform was posted on X.

On TikTok, he livestreamed and asked his fans to send him gifts. For these, users have to spend real money. Through his livestream, he collected several, as one could see in the stream, hundreds of dollars.

Streamer blames the car

What does the streamer say about the accident? In response to a question from the chat about how the accident happened, the streamer said: “I slipped on the wet road. I was driving a McLaren in pouring rain. What do you expect? You have never driven a McLaren.”

“He should rather ask for forgiveness from his followers. He could have killed someone in the accident.” (floridanow1 on X)

Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred on Metacritic – Here’s how the first expansion performs in the test

Christos Tsogos 8. October 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred was released on October 8, 2024, but how well is the expansion received by the testers? We show you what Metacritic has to say and report on the reviews and opinions.

Vessel of Hatred Metacritic – Summary

Tester Metascore with 34 ratings
- PC: 85 points
- PS5: 85 points
- Xbox Series X: 80 points
No user score yet
Positive points: Blizzard listened to its community and kept improving Diablo 4, Spiritborn is convincing, the campaign is fun
Negative points: Diablo 4 is still desperately trying to be an MMO, technical issues

Vessel of Hatred Metacritic – DLC Ratings Overview

How does the expansion fare on Metacritic? While users are yet to leave ratings, the media have been busy revealing their opinions about the expansion. Across all three platforms – PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X – the DLC has an average rating of 83.33 (as of October 8, 2024, 1:03 PM).

PS5: 85 (8 ratings)
Xbox Series X: 80 (6 ratings)
PC: 85 (34 ratings)

With these preliminary scores, the expansion cannot surpass the base game of Diablo 4 (86 points), but it comes close. The user score of the base game sits at a dismal 2.4 points. It is quite possible that, as Diablo 4 has improved, the user score for the expansion could look better once players have finished the campaign.

GameStar gave a preliminary score trend ranging from 78 to 84 points
GamePro rates it at 86 and praises the epic cutscenes
Our Diablo expert Benedict Grothaus draws the following conclusion: “Surprisingly varied for a green hell, with a class that surprisingly brings me a lot of joy and an uncomfortable plot twist at the end of the story.”

For the English-speaking testers, the ratings look like this:

PCGamesN – 90
PC Gamer – 90

Vessel of Hatred Metacritic – What the Reviews Say

What is well received? The overall picture of Diablo 4 is particularly praised, and many agree that it was good to listen to the community. It has been polished for so long that the game has become what it should have been at release.

The Spiritborn is a refreshing addition, as the class is varied and many testers at Metacritic find it enjoyable.

Nahantu, the location of the campaign, brings life to Sanctuary and offers players materials to explore or hunt. The atmosphere is well captured, and the appearance of the surroundings harmonizes.

What is poorly received? The story itself is criticized by some voices. It is not captivating enough.

Regarding the major updates for Diablo 4, these are not through the expansion but through free updates at the release of Vessel of Hatred. Therefore, the expansion offers little new content for the price, aside from the enjoyable new class, the new destination, and the new quests in Nahantu.

Lastly, technical issues on some platforms are mentioned, which can affect the gaming experience.

In Jurassic Park, there is a logical error that drives scientists up the wall to this day

Christoph Waldboth 8. October 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Jurassic Park is a movie that introduces various scientific ideas. However, there is a logic error that raises eyebrows among real scientists.

The idea of Jurassic Park is not without danger. Extinct dinosaurs are revived and kept in an amusement park. But what if they manage to escape and wreak havoc in the outside world?

It is unimaginable what would happen if the dinosaurs were unleashed on humans uncontrolled. To prevent this, Dr. Henry Wu in the film devised a method to prevent this scenario. He added a gene to the dinos that prevents the production of the amino acid lysine in their bodies.

However, they need this to survive and are supplied with it by the scientists in the park. In case of an outbreak, the dinos would be without lysine and would die. Sounds like a good plan? Well, in reality, it would look a bit different. Moreover, this plan makes no sense from a scientific point of view.

Here you can see the trailer for the 3D version of the movie:

Start video

Jurassic Park 3D – English Trailer

Autoplay

Real researchers roll their eyes

Why is the plan nonsense? In this movie full of little details, there are indeed a few mistakes. The amino acid lysine is actually very important for animals and humans; however, they are not able to produce it themselves in their bodies. What is prevented in Jurassic Park through genetic manipulation cannot happen naturally anyway.

Instead, living beings obtain lysine through food. The amino acid is found in all kinds of food, from vegetables to fruits to meat. In other words: the dinosaurs could escape from the park and wonderfully continue to survive in the outside world by feeding on plants, other animals, and yes, even humans.

Real scientists like Ben Lamm from the company Colossal are annoyed by this small but significant mistake. Lamm is researching the revival of mammoths with his biotech company and is frustrated by such film errors.

This idea is problematic. Unlike in the movie, we do not intend to create dependencies in the animals we revive. Instead, we are working to reintroduce species that will be able to survive on their own.
Ben Lamm via screenrant.com

Another mistake from the movie causes rolling eyes among scientists like him. However, most viewers probably did not notice these logical gaps.

Is Throne and Liberty not for you? Then now is the best time to dive into another MMORPG on Steam

Cedric Holmeier 8. October 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

While many players are currently having fun in Throne and Liberty, this is the perfect moment to start with Lost Ark. The MMORPG offers new servers and many bonuses for your start.

Which MMORPG is it about? While Throne and Liberty is being celebrated by many, there is also criticism of the new MMORPG against the new MMORPG. However, those who are not able to connect with the game might find their fortune in Lost Ark.

The MMORPG from the same publisher will launch its so-called Start Assistance servers on October 9, which are perfect for new players and returning players.

Here you can watch a live-action trailer of Lost Ark:

Start video

Lost Ark Live-Action Trailer

Autoplay

Start Assistance for New Players

What are the Start Assistance servers? The Start Assistance server aims to provide new players and returnees with an easy entry into the MMORPG. The servers offer a range of events as well as an altered experience to help players reach item level 1620 as easily as possible.

In Lost Ark, it’s all about improving your character. The higher your gear score, the more raids you can do. With a gear score of 1620, you are already far advanced and can tackle many of the new content with ease.

Overall, you can create 6 characters on the Start Assistance servers. However, only one can later move to the “real” server. The Start Assistance servers will only be active for 7 weeks. However, the developers say that as an active player, you will need only a few weeks to reach item level 1620.

To achieve this, the servers offer a variety of bonuses. For item level 1540–1580:

Increase of upgrade rate: by 300%
Increase of craftsman energy: by 200%
Discount on equipment upgrades: 80% on fragments and silver
Additional enhancement materials: 80% discount on jump stones, fragments, protection/devastation stones and Oreha materials
Required gold for upgrades: 100% discount

For item level 1580–1620:

Increase of upgrade rate: by 300%
Increase of craftsman energy: by 200%
Discount on equipment upgrades: 50% on fragments and silver
Additional enhancement materials: 50% discount on jump stones, fragments, protection/devastation stones and Oreha materials
Required gold for upgrades: 80% discount

Will anything change with the raids? Yes, some raids will also become easier. In normal and solo mode, the change in difficulty affects the raids Brelshaza, Akkan, Thaemine, Kayangel, and the Ivory Tower. The developers justify this by saying that players should focus on learning new content together.

What happens when you’re finished? Those who complete the new Start Assistance server with their character and reach item level 1620 can transfer it to the normal server. However, the transfer is only possible for one character. Those who do not have a character on a “real” server can transfer their roster information alongside their character from the Start Assistance server.

However, those who transfer their character will lose some items, likely to prevent the abuse of the servers. The developers note the following on their website (via playlostark.com):

Players must leave their guild before the transfer.
All items of the character will be transferred to the universal storage of the target server.
Only one character can be transferred; all others will be deleted.
Items with drop limits or abuse risks will be deleted.
Trade materials, gold and silver will not be transferred; instead, there is a transfer gift.
Important or non-recoverable items will be sent to the universal storage via the “preservation function”.

Those who manage to gear up their character quickly on the Start Assistance servers might even be ready in time for the launch of the new Kazeros raid. Starting October 23, two portals await you there. In the first, you will battle against Akkan and in the second against Aegir.

I’ve been using a gaming headset from Logitech for years and I highly recommend it for under 100 euros

Benedikt Schlotmann 8. October 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Many gamers use a gaming headset on PC, PS5, or Xbox. One is currently on sale and can be highly recommended by MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann.

Which gaming headset are we talking about? The Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED is a mid-range gaming headset from the manufacturer Logitech. The headset is available in both wired and wireless (Lightspeed) versions. Logitech has also introduced a successor meanwhile.

Personally, the Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED has accompanied me for years in everyday life. Whether gaming or in the office. Currently, you can get the gaming headset for under 100 Euros, and I consider that a fair deal.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Good sound, decent equipment, but weak battery life

What I like: The sound is surprisingly neutral and factual for a gaming headset, but there is a noticeable emphasis in the bass range that adds extra punch to action-packed scenes. However, it’s not so exaggerated that you can’t hear anything else.

Another plus point: The contents of the headset package. Besides the obligatory cables, the headset also includes a cloth bag for transport and interchangeable ear pads. You can choose whether you prefer to wear leatherette or fabric pads. In my experience, fabric pads are more comfortable to wear and also easier to clean. However, fabric tends to attract pet hairs like magic.

Are there any downsides? The battery life is not perfect and usually lasts only 2 to 3 days. Depending on how extensively one plays or uses the headset. Other wireless headsets offer significantly more endurance. For example, the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless, which the manufacturer advertises with a 300-hour battery life. Or the SteelSeries Arctis 7 Nova, which I prefer to use on the PS5.

The microphone is okay, but could be better. This is mainly due to the wireless connection, which affects the microphone quality. Usually, I combine a headset/headphones with a table microphone in everyday life, so I don’t weigh the microphone too heavily. Additionally, I can detach the microphone, so it doesn’t bother me in everyday situations.

What I also find unfortunate: Logitech only uses a padded headband made of memory foam. Other manufacturers additionally use an elastic headband that cushions the weight of the headset.

Pokémon GO: Stop Developing Rasaff into Epitaff Immediately – The Next Community Day Will Be Important

Paul Kutzner 8. October 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The next Community Day in Pokémon GO has been hinted at. And this raises hope for some trainers.

On the official channel of Pokémon GO on X, a video was published hinting at the Pokémon of the next Community Day.

In the just 9 seconds long video, many green bushes can be seen, as well as towards the end the tail of a Pokémon, which can be clearly identified through this.

This is Mankey, the Pokémon from the first generation, which will take center stage in the next Community Day. This triggers mixed feelings in the community.

Hope and Frustration in the Community

When does the Community Day take place? Before the start of the current season in Pokémon GO, the dates of the Community Days were announced.

Since the Community Days in September and October have already taken place, the event with Mankey will be held on Sunday, November 10, 2024.

What other information is known? So far, apart from the Pokémon and the date, no further official information is known. However, it is to be expected that you will receive strong bonuses on this Community Day as well, as is the case with every Community Day.

Why should you not evolve Mankey right now? The Pokémon that are in the spotlight during a Community Day receive an exclusive move during the event.

The last evolution of Mankey, Primeape, was one of the strongest monsters for the leagues until the big update in the battle league. Since the update, however, the Pokémon has lost a lot of significance.

This could change if Primeape receives a move during the Community Day that makes the monster stronger in the battle leagues. Therefore, you should wait until the event before evolving your Mankey.

Currently, you can also find Shadow Mankey with Team Rocket grunts.

Genshin Impact unveils 2 new playable characters arriving with update 5.2 – Community sees Wafiu potential

Nathalie Schnee 8. October 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Genshin Impact reveals two new characters, Chasca and Ororon. They are set to enter the game with the new 5.2 update, and players will see Waifu and Husbando potential.

Who are Chasca and Ororon? HoYoverse today announced two new playable characters for Genshin Impact version 5.2: Chasca and Ororon. These two newcomers are the first Anemo and Electro characters from Natlan.

While Chasca, as an Anemo archer, has already appeared in Natlan’s quests, Ororon will make his big debut only in the upcoming Archon quests during Act 3 and 4. So far, he has only been seen in a few trailers.

It is still unclear whether the two newcomers will be 5-star or 4-star characters. At least there is a hint regarding Chasca. Many suspect that she will be introduced as a 5-star character since she had a unique signature weapon available in the story, which hints at a 5-star ranking.

The beautiful region of Natlan will soon welcome two new characters:

What is known about Chasca and Ororon

Who is Chasca? Chasca, known as the “Peacemaker,” is an Anemo user who fights with her bow. She is deeply rooted in the region of Natlan, where she is supposed to mediate disputes and bring peace. Her backstory is as compelling as it is tragic: Chasca was adopted by her sister Chuychu’s family after being raised by wild creatures in the jungle. The community is particularly excited about her legs:

HeresiarchQin bluntly (via Reddit): “LEGS.”
EuthymicHysteria is thrilled (via Reddit): “Oh my god, she is soooo beautiful, I can’t wait, I really hope she is fun to play!”
Tiwat852 sees a new Waifu (via Reddit): “This leg activates my nerve cells.”
Mongerian likes her (via Reddit): “She is beautiful! And I need more Anemo!”

Who is Ororon? Unlike Chasca, little is currently known about Ororon. He is referred to as the “Shadow of the Night Wind,” indicating a connection to one of the six tribes of Natlan. The atmosphere surrounding his teaser text suggests that he will play a deeper, mysterious role in the upcoming story. The community finds him very edgy:

Ghavarus finds him very edgy (via Reddit): “It seems like he will be by far the edgiest character in Genshin.”
Murky_Blueberry2617 draws a comparison (via Reddit): “He steals Diluc’s flow!”
Maleficent_Tackle532 hopes Ororon can fly (via Reddit): “With Kinich came Spider-Man. I hope we get Batman with Ororon.”
Y-Y20 sees an anime character in him (via Reddit): “My Ikuto from Shugo Chara can’t wait to draw for you! I love you.”
