WoW: The War Within Played – In the Fruitless Search for the MMORPG DNA

Karsten Scholz 17. April 2024 Reading time 5 minutes

Our MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz had the opportunity to play the new WoW expansion The War Within during an exclusive alpha test round. The new adventure in the World of Warcraft is as comfortable and accessible as never before, while losing even more of its MMO roots.

Blizzard is preparing for the upcoming alpha of WoW: The War Within and allowed me to play the new expansion a few days in advance. The following content awaited me on the press client:

A tailored introduction to the “The War Within” adventure, which is supposed to differ at the final launch.
The three campaign chapters of the new area Island of Thorn, which is home to the Earthlings (all in-game sequences were locked).
Some depths instances that I was able to explore with NPC dwarf Brann Bronzebeard.
At level 71, I unlocked the new hero talents for my rogue, which were still placeholders for my favorite class. The talent trees from Dragonflight will still be present.

Revised UI elements and options like the spellbook, character overview, or the new mode for arachnophobes (which replaces all spiders with other creatures).
Access to the first advantages of the Warband feature (such as an account-wide bank with multiple slots and account-wide reputation for all characters).
The opportunity to test the dynamic flying properties of dragon riding with a pure heart runner – the horse mount hops through the air.

Through the group search, I was also able to queue for the new battleground “Deephaul Ravine” and the first two dungeons. However, due to a lack of players, I was unable to conduct any practical tests. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to enter the PvE instances of The War Within with followers (which should be possible later).

Autoplay

Typical WoW …

On a cozy evening, I was able to complete the quests of the island, master several depths, and bring my rogue to just below level 73. The War Within felt very much like Dragonflight during this time, only that dwarves are bouncing around everywhere on Thorn and much revolves around smithing.

True to WoW, my pre-made fighter equipped with green clothes chopped through enemies and quests like a hot knife through butter. You probably shouldn’t expect a crispy difficulty level or innovative quest mechanics while leveling.

The only remarkable task I found was one where I had to fend off several waves of Nerubians. For this, I had to place defensive structures at different access points. I then watched the actual fight from the back of a flying mount while throwing various lightning attacks at the approaching enemies.

… but even more accessible

What you can count on, however, is the even higher accessibility of WoW. With dynamic flying, you’ll reach every quest in just a few seconds while leveling. All dungeons of The War Within that you encounter during the campaign or leveling phase can optionally be played solo or with AI followers. Waiting for other players? That’s so 2020!

And the new depths also play comfortably: There are several difficulty levels, if needed Brann Bronzebeard provides healing as well as additional damage, and after ten minutes you’re back in the fresh air. By the way, there are some special features awaiting you in the depths:

In the Earthcrawler mines, there are nets lying everywhere on the ground that slow down and regularly summon attackers as soon as you touch them.
The depths of Warvals empowerment are shrouded in darkness that gradually reduces your maximum health. You can only counter this with the bright glow of candles that burn out after a while.
In the depths, traps (such as flame thrower candles), special tasks (for example, I had to save all the Earthlings spun by the Nerubians) and elite bosses lurk.
Through boxes, you can earn temporary buffs that remind of the perks from Torghast in Shadowlands.
In the end, a treasure chamber awaits you with the final reward as well as a shortcut to the entrance of the instance.
Brann Bronzebeard gains experience points, levels up, and unlocks more abilities for your joint adventures.

Lastly, the new Warband feature brings more comfort and accessibility. You get access to a new account-wide bank with multiple slots (unlocking all slots costs a pretty penny). Additionally, reputation progress, achievements, and collections count for all characters on your account. For those of you who play multiple characters, this new feature is a blessing.

Homeopathic traces of MMORPG

For many years now, World of Warcraft has followed the path of all major theme park MMORPGs, breaking down walls and offering increasingly more options and content designed to expand the target audience and lure new players to the servers.

Especially casual gamers are the target of Blizzard, who only want to play quietly for a certain period from time to time. And players who do not want social obligations, fixed raid times, and unfriendly dungeon teammates.

More about WoW:

Counter Strike 2 has made it with a map in WoW – Because a player is putting in a lot of effort

In WoW you can now earn powerful Epic with item level 259 without setting foot in a raid

von Karsten Scholz

A part of me can absolutely relate to that. As a dad of two kids, a quick dungeon run of WoW: Dragonflight or Final Fantasy XIV, which I complete alongside AI companions, fits much better into my daily routine than a three-hour trip through the Blackrock Depths in WoW Classic.

However, the other part of me thinks: At least you remember the whimsical visits to BRD! Modern MMORPGs already play too often like single-player RPGs with optional multiplayer. With The War Within, WoW is now moving even more in that direction. Silly!

Alternative perspective on The War Within
My wonderful colleague Mary also had the opportunity to take a look at the alpha of The War Within for Gamestar. Furthermore, she was able to grill the Blizzard developers with all sorts of questions about the upcoming expansion of World of Warcraft. What she learned and what her personal view on the addon is, you can find out in her preview of WoW: The War Within.

You see, there are two hearts beating in my chest. Luckily, it’s not a matter of “either … or”, since WoW Classic and The War Within are running in parallel. Which version of World of Warcraft do you prefer?

I spent 127 hours on the brilliant new game on Steam, but the ending is a joke

Schuhmann 17. April 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

The strategy game Millennia was released on March 26 on Steam. MeinMMO author Schuhmann has spent countless games with the 4x game and is enthusiastic. But he also says: With all due love, the ending is a joke. After 10 hours of world conquest, there’s a tired screen. Seriously?

What kind of game is this?

Millennia is something like Civilization, but you can only own and directly control a limited number of cities, perhaps six to eight. However, these cities can span a vast area and continue to grow even after many hours of gameplay.
Therefore, it is important where you position the cities and that you have enough space to expand them over 6,000 years.
Different ages, which sometimes appear and sometimes don’t, provide variety in gameplay. At times, you gain skills that you have always wished for in strategy games: You can build sandbanks where there is only water or flatten mountains. Areas that were previously useless suddenly become valuable after thousands of years.

Start video

Announcement Teaser Trailer to Millennia

Autoplay

Millennia has a great learning curve and brilliant ideas

Why do I like the game so much? I was immediately captivated by Millennia from the start, and the fascination has only grown over the past three weeks as I understand the game more.

Because this is not Civilization, not even close, but a city-building simulation, where you have to eliminate neighboring peoples or at least lock them out of your territories so that their little villages do not ruin your plans for massive metropolises that span entire continents.

Millennia has an incredibly satisfying learning curve and is coherent in itself. It even holds pleasant surprises. In each age, new challenges await the player: constantly, the citizens want more, first food and houses, then sanitation, electricity, a religion, and finally even access to the Internet.

It is worth thinking logically and building production chains: Cities have natural tendencies to grow in one direction or another depending on their surroundings. Where there is a lot of forest, you can deforest it and produce paper. Perhaps here the religious or intellectual center of an empire arises. A mining city can extract ore, perhaps becoming the Ruhr area of your own empire.

Meanwhile, standard strategies from other games, such as unrestrained growth or ruthless conquest, come with some pitfalls, as those who grow too quickly will awaken desires in the populace that they cannot fulfill. Those who conquer too much without securing it will quickly have a revolution on their hands.

Whenever you neglect an aspect of the game, it comes back to bite you.

von Karsten Scholz

This gives me the thrill: Despite mediocre Steam reviews, I enjoy Millennia very much because I accept the limitations of the game:

Millennia would be much easier if you could simply demolish conquered cities of enemies to make room for your own cities – but this is not possible; you have to build around the existing enemy cities.
Millennia would also be much easier if you could take over all conquered cities and control them yourself – but that is not possible either; you are limited to relatively few cities.

This is criticized in the reviews on Steam; it annoyed me at first as well, but by now I have accepted it as a necessary limitation of the game. They make the charm of Millennia.

Complaining about it is about as reasonable as getting upset that the pawn in chess can only take opposing pieces diagonally and can’t just clear away pieces in front of him.

How do the games end? That is the point I cannot forgive Millennia, no matter how hard I try.

Although there are several ways to end a game. After 127 hours with the Steam version, I have found two of the standard endings; either you lead your people to transcendence, which is quite easy, or you painstakingly build a colony ship to Mars before the evil Germans do.

But no matter how you end the game: After an epic game of 10 hours, you get a single dull victory screen, with the message “You have won,” without any statistics, fanfare, videos, or anything.

And then it’s back to the main menu, where you are expected to start the next game, as the game makes clear.

If anyone thinks that “View Map” offers anything exciting for the player, they must be disappointed. You are only allowed to scroll over the map ineffectively and almost in slow motion, admiring the game’s weak point, the graphics.

steam-enden — For every way to win, there is an achievement.

For all the love and charm that I can find in the unpolished and unfinished game mechanics, the few hours of work to give Millennia a somewhat appropriate ending should indeed have been possible.

Thus, even I, who is utmost positively inclined towards the game, suspect that Millennia should have stayed in development for at least another six months.

You can read my impression of Millennia after the first days here:

I am obsessed with a new game on Steam: I’ve already sunk 40 hours in 4 days

Baldur’s Gate 3: After hundreds of hours, a player realizes that they get one of the strongest weapons even before Act 1.

Christoph Waldboth 17. April 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

In Baldur’s Gate 3 there are plenty of cool weapons. One of the strongest can be obtained early on. All it takes is a simple trick. A user on Reddit didn’t know this and was quite surprised about it.

What weapon is it about? The sword “Everburn Blade” is a powerful weapon, especially at the beginning of Baldur’s Gate 3.

It is especially suitable for fighters, barbarians, and paladins. The blade deals a base damage of 3-16. It consists of 2d6 slashing damage and +1d4 fire damage. Additionally, your strength modifier is added.

The fire bonus is quite impressive and useful against enemies who are susceptible to it. So it would be practical to use the sword right from the start, right?

It’s good that there is an easy way to obtain the weapon already in Act 1. Even better: You don’t even have to finish the prologue to call the Everburn Blade your own.

But not everyone knows this. The Reddit user Gingerbread_Dad, for example, didn’t know it and eventually revealed in a post how to get the weapon.

Start video

Baldur’s Gate 3 Temple of Shar Runthrough

Autoplay

A simple spell helps you

How do you obtain the sword? In the prologue of the game, you are trying to escape from the Nautiloid. During this, you encounter Commander Zhalk, who is fighting a mind flayer.

Zhalk carries the desired sword with him. However, he won’t just hand it over. You either have to fight him and take the valuable loot from his corpse – or you can use a trick.

If you have previously rescued Shadowheart from her prison, she can help you get the sword now. Open the menu and equip Shadowheart with the spell “Command”.

Then proceed until you reach the room where the fight takes place. But instead of attacking Commander Zhalk, cast “Command” with Shadowheart on him. More specifically, the command “Drop”.

If you are a wizard or cleric yourself, you can do this without Shadowheart. By the way, cleric is the least popular class in the game.

When you reach Zhalk, you need to be a bit lucky. The chance that he actually drops the sword is 65%. To be on the safe side, save beforehand and possibly reload the game.

If you are lucky, the sword will lie on the ground waiting to be picked up by you. Grab it and continue to the console at the end of the room. Activate it, and the prologue ends. You start Act 1 with a powerful weapon in your inventory, which will make your adventure significantly easier.

A player on Reddit feels silly

What does the community think about the trick? The Reddit user Gingerbread_Dad emphasized in his post how silly he feels since learning about the trick.

He has gone through “several dozen runs” and often tried to kill the commander. He often died in the process, as the fight is quite difficult at the beginning.

The alternative would have been to ignore the commander and thus also his sword. When he realized how easy it is to get the weapon, he felt really silly.

Other players are also commenting in disbelief under the post:

“I foolishly commanded him to drop the sword, but then I never picked it up,” regrets Miss_M4rs her actions.
“It’s my second run and I don’t know what you’re talking about. Everburn Blade?” asks Junior_Mention2803, who apparently knew nothing of the existence of the sword.
“I prefer to kill Zhalk, because that gives me an early level up,” says Jaren_Starain instead.

Did you already know the trick? Have you used the sword, or are you planning to for your next save? Let us know in the comments. The quirky Volo from Baldur’s Gate 3 is much more important than you think

17-year-old was disqualified from a Pokémon tournament for laughing at the question about pronouns – Here’s how he is doing today

Schuhmann 17. April 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

One year ago, the then 17-year-old Makani Tran made headlines worldwide in the gaming scene. He had flown 4 hours to a tournament in the trading card game Pokémon, but was disqualified for laughing when asked about his preferred pronouns.

That was the news back then: We reported the bizarre incident on MeinMMO on March 31, 2023:

The 17-year-old Makani Tran had qualified for the regional championships in the trading card game Pokémon.
He had to fly 4 hours to Charlotte to compete against other trainers. The flight and hotel cost the young man $800. For the student, that was a lot of money. Until then, he hadn’t earned a cent with Pokémon.
The tournament was going well for him, so the excitement was even greater when he was excluded from the tournament. And for a reason that many found incomprehensible.

Pokémon is a serious competition:

Autoplay

The young man was nervous and couldn’t think of a darned pronoun

Why was he disqualified? During the tournament, the referee asked him which pronouns he preferred to be addressed with so that he could be referred to with the pronouns of his choice during a live-streamed game.

But the young player said: “Uh, he or him or um …” – he simply couldn’t think of the third pronoun “his.” He stood there and ultimately laughed nervously.

The referee took the laughter the wrong way. The referee said he preferred the gender-neutral pronouns “They/them” himself, and that Makani shouldn’t be a jerk for that.

17-year-old disqualified for violating inclusion rules

Shortly thereafter, Makani Tran was asked again about the incident, regarding what he had answered and the tone in which he had spoken.

Ultimately, he was excluded from the tournament by the head referee for violating “the inclusion rules.”

The player was completely devastated by the news. He insisted he had done nothing wrong, now wasted the big opportunity, and lost a lot of money. But the referee remained firm.

Makani was out.

Young trainer drawn into a culture war

What waves did this cause? The story made quite an impact in the USA and was picked up by national news outlets.

Especially for the conservative press, such as Fox News, this story was a goldmine. The mention of preferred pronouns is a contentious issue for many in the USA.

Makani Tran himself found the whirlwind too much. He felt uncomfortable being drawn into the “culture war” in the USA.

When asking about preferred pronouns, it is about a person’s gender identity. This ensures that individuals are addressed and referred to in a way that corresponds with their gender identity. Providing preferred pronouns is increasingly common in social media. It serves to choose the form of address that the person prefers right from the start.

5 times more donations than desired

How is the young man doing today? The whole uproar had something good for Makani Tran. Through a “GoFundMe“, 339 donations came in to reimburse the young man for his travel expenses. The goal was to raise $1,500, but a total of $7,602 was raised for Makani Tran: There were some donations over $100. Two anonymous donors even contributed $500 to the cause.

Thus, the trip was at least a financial success in hindsight.

The first prize money in Pokémon has now also arrived

The Pokémon career also took off. In January 2024, he participated in two tournaments that offered prize money (via liquipedia):

At the Regional Championships in Portland, he finished 5th-8th and earned $3,000.
At the tournament in Charlotte, where he had been so shamefully disqualified a year earlier, he placed 9th-16th and won $2,000.

The tournaments then proceeded as Makani Tran had wished, without any national headlines. It was all about Pokémon.

Gamer buys new graphics card for 260 euros, but it is way too big – Asks the community: “What can I do now?”

Martin Vollert 17. April 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

A user wants to upgrade their gaming PC. Installing a new graphics card fails for several reasons. The special form factor of their computer plays a significant role.

Upgrading one’s gaming PC is usually a great experience. As long as nothing goes wrong and no beginner mistakes are made, one can enjoy their faster system afterwards.

However, there are also cases where the existing computer becomes a dead end when one wants to swap or upgrade certain hardware components.

A gamer failed to install a new graphics card in their gaming PC because the manufacturer did not intend for such an upgrade for the system at all.

Failed PC Upgrade Causes Frustration

What upgrade failed? A gamer wanted to upgrade their PC with a new graphics card. They chose the Arc A750 Limited Edition model from Intel. This budget graphics card currently costs 260 Euros and is intended for gaming at Full HD resolution.

This pixel accelerator is what Reddit user Clockwork_crowwww wanted to install in their computer to achieve better performance in games.

I just want to play newer games than Left 4 Dead with more than two frames per second. But apparently, some things like Unreal Editor and Cities Skylines require such a large and powerful graphics card.
Clockwork_crowwww on Reddit

But even the size of the pixel accelerator caused him problems. The graphics card does not fit in his small PC case, which did not stop another gamer from finding a solution for a similar space issue.

The HP computer is a system in SFF form factor (Small Form Factor). This is mainly used for office computers that do not require much space.

The player Clockwork_crowwww describes his problem on Reddit

What other problems were there? If the player had not already failed at the size of their new graphics card, the proprietary hardware of their PC would have thwarted them at the latest.

Due to the form factor, the manufacturer-specific hardware components can only be exchanged or upgraded to a limited extent. HP has installed a special power supply that differs significantly from regular power supplies, especially regarding the available connections.

Replacing it with a suitable power supply upgrade that offers much more connection options is simply not possible.

Additionally, there is likely the much too low power output of the power supply itself. Depending on the configuration, power supplies in SFF PCs range between 180 and 240 watts. The recommended power supply output is at least 550 watts, according to techpowerup.com.

I searched online for help, and in every video, it showed that I need to connect the graphics card to the power supply. But there were no cables included at all, and all cables that the computer has are integrated into the power supply.
Clockwork_crowwww on Reddit

Moreover, the computer is almost hopelessly outdated. An Intel i5-3570 processor from 2012 along with 16 GB of DDR3 RAM powers the system. Even if the player could use the graphics card, players would be held back by the aging CPU.

Otus511 says in his comment:

“Cities Skylines is a pretty intensive game for a CPU, probably even more intensive than the graphics card. Once you start with medium-sized cities, the computing power required to run the game engine becomes clear, and the slow speed becomes unbearable.
Even at the absolute lowest settings at 1080p, you’ll achieve under 30 FPS with this CPU.”

Sympathetic Community

What do others say about his case? Many comments under his Reddit post are full of sympathy and tell him not to be discouraged by this failed upgrade. They also advise him against spending more time and money on the existing PC.

Unlikely-Answer tries to comfort the player with his comment:

“Don’t feel bad, we all go through this.”

MasterBaiter0004 wants to encourage him and says:

“This can sometimes be a very frustrating hobby, but don’t let it discourage you. We’ve all gone through many frustrating situations and annoyances. Most of the time it’s a love-hate relationship. However, when everything works properly, it will pay off.”

Again and again, gamers on Reddit experience many helpful community members who are not out to make fun of others. Even with the simplest problems, they stand ready to help: Player builds €1,800 gaming PC, only gets a meager 6 FPS in games – Yet the solution is unimaginably simple

CoD Warzone: Meta loadout for the MORS – Setup with attachments

Nicole Wakulczyk 17. April 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

In Warzone, the sniper rifle “MORS” was introduced in Season 3 and has since dominated the meta lists for builds in the battle royale mode. We will show you strong setups with attachments.

The sniper rifle “MORS” came with Season 3 in CoD: MW3 and quickly secured a spot among the meta builds for Warzone.

To help you understand the attachments you can work towards, we have selected strong setups for the MORS for Warzone. According to wzstats.gg, the sniper rifle is currently the best choice in the category for the battle royale mode.

The MORS is also frequently chosen in multiplayer. If you missed the trailer for Season 3, you can watch it here:

Warzone: Meta Loadout for the MORS

The sniper rifle MORS (Military Operated Rail Sniper) has a good combination of precision and damage, possesses a high destructive power and a relatively fast reload speed. With the right attachments, it becomes even stronger.

These attachments are needed in Warzone:

Barrel: Heavy Tonne Barrel
Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
Stock: Lightweight Icarus Stock
Ammunition: HVP Anti-Materiel Slug
Bolt: Quick Bolt

Attachments in English

Barrel: Tonne Heavy Barrel
Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
Stock: Icarus Light Stock
Ammunition: HVP Anti-Materiel Slug
Bolt: Quick Bolt

What makes the setup strong? The setup is considered according to wzstats.gg to be a meta build for Warzone. The SL Razorhawk Laser Light greatly improves precision and handling, while the Lightweight Icarus Stock reduces unnecessary weight. The bolts allow for quicker reloading, while the Heavy Tonne Barrel provides better range and precision.

Although the “HVP Anti-Materiel Slug” ammunition is fired at a lower speed, it has a higher stopping power. Stopping power refers to its ability to effectively stop or incapacitate a target when hit.

MW3: Meta Loadout for the MORS in Multiplayer

If you are also looking for a loadout for multiplayer in MW3, we have one for you here. If you have already tested and saved the loadout for Warzone, nothing changes except for the barrel, and you only need to swap one attachment.

These attachments are needed in multiplayer:

Barrel: Crown-50 Barrel
Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
Stock: Lightweight Icarus Stock
Ammunition: HVP Anti-Materiel Slug
Bolt: Quick Bolt

Attachments in English

Barrel: Crown-50 Barrel
Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
Stock: Icarus Light Stock
Bolt: Quick Bolt
Ammunition: HVP Anti-Materiel Slug

What makes the setup strong? The setup is considered according to wzstats.gg to be a meta build for multiplayer in CoD: MW3. The only difference from the setup in Warzone is the barrel. The “Crown-50 Barrel” is a shorter sniper barrel and gives you a more mobile approach in combat.

LEGO Fortnite: Improve Village – All Levels, Benefits and Materials

Nicole Wakulczyk 17. April 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

In LEGO Fortnite you can upgrade your settlement to unlock rewards and increase construction and population capacity. On MeinMMO, you will learn in detail what materials you need for each level and what benefits they bring you.

How do I upgrade my village? Just like with the upgrade of the workbench, the requirements for your village increase with each upgrade. In LEGO Fortnite, there are a total of 10 levels that your village center can reach.

To do this, you need certain materials, and at the same time, you must build buildings and devices to unlock the subsequent level of the village center. In the game, you can observe how the village’s level bar fills up in the top right corner as you build.

All Village Center Levels, Required Materials, and Benefits

In the table, we list all the levels that your village center can reach in detail. Additionally, you can see the materials required for the levels and a glimpse of the benefits you unlock.

Village Center Level	Materials	Benefits
1	automatically occurs when building the village center for 10 granite, 10 wood	– friendly NPCs visit you – you can recruit 1 NPC for your village
2	15 granite, 15 wood	– you can assign tasks to villagers – 5 new building plans
3	10 planks, 20 granite	– occasional gifts from villagers – 1 more spot for villagers – 2 new building plans
4	10 gnarlroot, 15 planks, 25 granite	– new tasks for villagers – 3 new building plans
5	15 gnarlroot, 20 planks, 15 marble	– rare explorers visit your village – villagers gain more shield & stamina – 1 more villager spot – 3 new building plans
6	20 gnarlroot, 30 granite slab	– new tasks for villagers – 3 new building plans
7	20 gnarlroot stick, 20 marble slab	– occasional unique recipes from villagers – 2 new building plans
8	30 marble plates, 10 amber	– 1 more villager spot – 2 new building plans
9	15 softwood, 15 obsidian, 10 polished amber	– villagers also collect resources in other biomes – 2 new building plans
10	15 softwood sticks, 30 obsidian slabs, 20 polished amber	– 1 more villager spot – 2 new building plans

How do I build a village? To construct a village, you select “Village Site” in the building menu and place it for 10 wood and 10 granite where your village center and the NPCs’ point of reference should be. You will receive the blueprint for the village site after placing a campfire and a small hut.

You can build multiple village centers, but they do not level up, and you must unlock the levels for each one individually. However, you cannot move the centers.

What do I need a village for? Various NPCs congregate in your village center who can assist you in your work in LEGO Fortnite. You assign them tasks during conversations. Additionally, the NPCs defend your village against attacks, even at night.

By upgrading the village, you can recruit up to 5 NPCs – the final spot is unlocked at level 10. Furthermore, the individual village center levels provide useful benefits that you can use for your survival in LEGO Fortnite.

Armor is also vital in LEGO Fortnite. How to increase it to protect yourself is explained in our guide: LEGO Fortnite: Increase Armor – here’s what you need

EA FC 24: New event with dynamic cards instead of Community TOTS? Leak suggests big change

Julian Schröder 17. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In EA FC 24, the highly popular TOTS event is about to begin. However, this year there could be significant changes, as leaks suggest a new starting team. Could the new LIVE team replace the Community Team of the Season?

In the coming weeks, a lot is in store for FC players, as the upcoming TOTS event is arguably the most extensive promotion of the FC 24 year. It spans several weeks and brings a dedicated team for almost every major league with extremely upgraded special cards.

However, a leak now suggests that the new TOTS Live Team could replace the venerable Community TOTS.

Leak shows new dynamic cards with “TOTS Live”

This is what the leak shows: The well-known leaker for Ultimate Team FUTDONK shared a leak on X regarding a supposedly new promotion for the TOTS event in Ultimate Team. It is called “Team of the Season Live” and, according to the leaker, is set to start on Friday, April 19.

As the name suggests, it is supposed to be a new live event that ensures that the cards can become better if certain conditions in real football are met. However, the leak does not specify what these conditions could be this time.

The leak team, filled with big names like Bruno Fernandes, Modric, Raphinha, or Romero, can be seen here:

Will TOTS Live replace Community TOTS? For many years, it has been a tradition that the Team of the Season always started with the Community TOTS. The community was able to vote for players who had a strong season but did not receive more than one performance-based special card.

However, whether the Community TOTS will be completely omitted this year or will only start after the supposed “TOTS Live” is still uncertain. Perhaps EA will release a roadmap for the upcoming TOTS weeks. If we learn more, you will find out here on MeinMMO.

Developer from Austria programs cool dwarf game on Steam, but someone steals it and makes a mobile game out of it

Cedric Holmeier 17. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

On Steam, there are great indie titles, one of which features dwarves beating up orcs, but not just the fans think that’s cool.

What kind of game is this? The Austrian developer “ichbinhamma” has created an indie dwarf game called “Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot.” In it, you assemble a legion of up to 10 dwarves that you lead into battle against orcs and bosses.

As a mix of auto-battler, rogue-like, and RPG, you gather your legion, equip them, give them abilities, and choose their next opponent. The battles are automated. So, the game revolves around creating the best legion to defeat the orcs.

The game is available on Steam for €13.79 and has received 77% positive reviews from over 800 submissions. According to the game’s developer, around 50,000 units have already been sold, and the game is a success, but he is not the only one who wanted to profit from it.

Here you can watch the trailer for Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot.

Start video

Autoplay

Another developer steals the game, forgets the ESC key

How was the game stolen? Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot was apparently so successful that other developers came up with the idea of stealing the game. An unknown person downloaded the game and created a mobile version, which he then offered in the Google Play Store. It seems that he was only in it for the money, as the first thing he implemented was microtransactions.

What the thief forgot was to properly change the controls, as the tutorial required pressing the ESC key, which is a bit inconvenient on a mobile device. Some unsuspecting players who had the game from the Google Play Store complained to the original developer. This is how he became aware of the situation.

How did the developer fight back? The developer was unsure how to proceed, as a complaint to Google support had been unsuccessful. On Reddit, he sought help and received it.

The Reddit users advised him:

He should hire a lawyer and try to claim money from the foreign developer, even if the chances of success are rather slim.
He should file a DMCA request to have the game removed from the store.

Several users also reported the game in the Google Play Store.

What is a DMCA request? A DMCA request is a request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which, in very simple terms, requires websites to remove copyrighted content in a short period of time. These requests are usually processed very quickly because severe penalties can be imposed.

From Plan to Triumph – How HandOfBlood Won the Championship in LoL

How did it end? The DMCA request from the Austrian developer “ichbinhamma” was answered by Google within a few days. Google removed the game from the Google Play Store, and it is no longer accessible there.

Contrary to user recommendations, the developer seems to be unwilling to take legal action against the unknown thief. On Reddit, he revealed that he does not expect much chance of success in that case.

Thus, the developer will not be compensated for the efforts around the removal of the game from the Play Store and the losses he incurred due to missed customer purchases.

Another indie game is also doing well at the moment; it has reinvented an old and gruesome game: Dark game reinvents Russian Roulette and becomes a hit on Steam

LoL: 25-year-old cries as he defeats everyone after 7 years, even surpasses Faker

Schuhmann 17. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The final of the LCK was held in South Korea in League of Legends. The titans of LoL faced off, Faker and Chovy. But another was crowned the most valuable player: the 25-year-old top laner Kim “Kiin” Gi-in. He has a long journey behind him.

Who is Kiin?

Kiin started playing LoL professionally at 18, with the Afreeca Freecs, and stayed there for many years. Kiin has long been regarded as an excellent LoL player, but he was never in a really strong team until he moved to Gen G in November 2023.
He has managed to finish in every position at the end of a LoL season except for the championship: he placed third 3 times, fourth 2 times, and even ended last in 2017.
But now, at an age where many end their careers, he finally secured his 1st title, and what a title it is.

He had to pass him:

In the duel of the greatest stars, an eternal loser becomes a hero

How was the title win for him? Kiin won his 1st title now in one of the biggest LoL games of all time. At its peak, 2.6 million people watched the duel between the reigning world champion T1 and perhaps the currently best LoL team in the world, Gen G.

In this battle of titans, there are endless stars:

At Gen G, “Our Lord and Savior” Chovy plays, along with the brilliant jungler Canyon and the young ADC Peyz.
In the most famous and popular team in League of Legends, T1, play 5 world champions, whose names every LoL fan knows by heart: Zeus, Oner, Faker, Gumayusi, and Keria.

But none of them became the MVP; this honor was reserved for Kiin, who hardly anyone had on their radar.

The veteran shows the rising star Zeus his limits

In Match 1, Kiin eliminated poor Zeus (0-5-0) on Rumble (8-2-11). In the 4 other games, Kiin was able to keep the 5-year-younger Zeus, who had shone at the World Championship, completely under control.

Especially Kiin’s performance in Match 5 is praised. Here, the strong team T1 was limited to just 2 kills. Zeus played 0-4-1 on Zac.

HandOfBlood wanted to change e-sports with his LoL team, now he is finally German champion

Schuhmann 17. April 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

After more than two years, the plan has indeed succeeded. The then-active German influencer HandOfBlood had founded an e-sports team in November 2021 in League of Legends : Eintracht Spandau. After a few lean years in LoL, it has now succeeded with the championship in the German Prime League, although it didn’t look like it for a long time. The original plan could only be partially implemented; in the end, stars were needed.

This was the plan:

In November 2021, HandOfBlood announced that he was founding a team in LoL and would enter directly into the highest German league, the Prime League.
The plan was to find and develop players so that fans can identify with the team. Other LoL teams would constantly swap players and staff around the team, making it difficult to build a bond. They wanted to do it differently.
The club was also to be complemented by streamers and influencers. HandOfBlood promised: “The content quality and strategy will be insane. We want to shake up the scene”.

In November 2021, MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch wrote: Many German fans hoped that the German midlaner “PowerOfEvil” would switch to Eintracht Spandau , but he was actually overqualified for the regional league.

Eintracht Spandau: Great atmosphere, but the big success was missing

Here’s how it really went: The project “Eintracht Spandau” went well, but not optimally:

In terms of sports, the team was indeed successful but tended to lose important matches, which increasingly bothered HandOfBlood. At the end of a season, they usually ended up in 2nd or 3rd place, but there was “the cup to drink from” missing.

The strategy of going through influencers actually worked out completely. The team was present on social media, was able to excite many fans, even with HandOfBlood in the role of difficult team president Knabe.

Time and again, HandOfBlood staged scandals around the egomaniacal character “President Knabe” who became the villain in the story of “Eintracht Spandau,” wasted money senselessly, lost control in interviews, or berated the fans. The viewers loved the spectacle around “the president”.

Even the competition had to admit that Eintracht Spandau became the flagship of the Prime League, while other teams faced significant financial problems. A team from Berlin was even forcibly relegated from the league in September 2022. It could not sustain itself financially.

The idea of running Eintracht Spandau like a football club excited the fans. But the plan to get 5 players and hold onto them ultimately failed due to sporting realities, as the team had to admit over time.

Eintracht Spandau signs the best players on the market before the season

This was the current season: After some disappointments, Eintracht Spandau increasingly turned away from the plan to develop their own players.

Before the current spring season, Eintracht put together pretty much the best team that could be had in the Prime League. Of the 5 players with whom Eintracht Spandau started in 2021, none are left in the team today.

In fact, two years after the fans had already wanted it, they were able to sign PowerOfEvil, a man with international level. Eintracht Spandau also strengthened itself well in other positions and signed the player who became the league’s MVP in the summer of 2023: Johannes “fun K3y” Werner.

Weak season with outstanding finale

The season went quite bumpy despite the strong squad: Eintracht Spandau finished fifth in the regular season with 11-7 and had to start the playoffs in the loser’s bracket.

However, they fought their way through the four better-placed teams and were able to beat SK in the finale.

George Lucas was very disappointed when Disney didn’t want him for Star Wars 7 – compared it to a breakup

Marie Friske 17. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Director George Lucas is one of the most well-known directors of all time and has made film history with his Star Wars films. He actually wanted to work on Episode 7 as well, but Disney declined, which hit the filmmaker quite hard.

“People don’t even know it’s a soap opera”

In 2012, the Star Wars franchise went to The Walt Disney Co. So George Lucas approached the company and pitched his new ideas for Episode 7.

His plan was to tell the story of the grandchildren of the well-known characters from the original trilogy.

But the problem was that while they had looked at the stories, they wanted to do more for the fans, as George Lucas recounted.

But the family aspect in Star Wars was so important to the filmmaker and defines the well-known franchise:

“People don’t even know it’s a soap opera dealing with family issues and not spaceships. So they decided not to use these stories, but to do their own thing, and I decided: ‘Fine […] I will go my way and let them go their way.'”

Pokémon GO: Trainer finds hints that we are actually the bad ones

Paul Kutzner 17. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, we encounter representatives of Team Rocket more often. A trainer on Reddit is now wondering if we are actually the bad ones.

Who is Team Rocket? In the Pokémon world, Team Rocket is a criminal organization that frequently opposes the protagonist. Their goal is to take over the world, primarily by stealing Pokémon from trainers.

The Team Rocket is also present in Pokémon GO. In addition to the Rocket Grunts and Rocket Bosses, whom you can find and challenge, there are also events at irregular intervals where the Rocket Boss, Giovanni, makes an appearance.

A trainer has now raised the question of whether we have actually become Team Rocket ourselves. He has found quite a concrete reason for this.

Start video

Autoplay

Have we inadvertently become Team Rocket?

What does the trainer say? The trainer asks on Reddit if we are not the bad ones ourselves, as our approach is similar to that of Team Rocket. He writes:

Has anyone else noticed that in Pokémon GO, we do the same thing to Team Rocket that they do to the heroes in the anime? We defeat them in a Pokémon battle and then steal one of their Pokémon. Have we inadvertently become Team Rocket for Team Rocket?

What does the community say about it? While some commentators from the community agree with the trainer and find additional reasons why we secretly are the bad guys, there are also some voices that suspect that we are not so bad after all.

The fact that we catch multiple Pokémon just to farm them for candies is quite villainous, and then sending all the weak and unwanted Pokémon to a lab instead of releasing them back into the wild? That’s textbook Team Rocket, writes another trainer on Reddit
I’m waiting for the documentary about how candies are really made, reads another comment on Reddit
We don’t steal the Cryptos. They abandon them. What do you think, why do we usually get the weakest (i.e., the first)? With Giovanni, I assume he has his core team of Snorlax and his second Pokémon and then discards the legendary ones if they disappoint him, says another trainer on Reddit
You free one of their Pokémon. Big difference, reads another comment on Reddit

So there are both reasons that suggest we are the bad ones and those that oppose it. The question of what exactly we are now has to be answered by each person for themselves.

Bungie gives players a large, free event in Destiny 2 and that should worry you

Christos Tsogos 17. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

A free and large event full of content that is supposed to entertain players in Destiny 2 until the last DLC, but something seems odd. Since when has Bungie been so generous when it comes to content for the loot shooter?

What is the problem with the event? In fact, there is no problem in the traditional sense. The event is free and offers many ways to keep entertained until the release of “The Final Shape”. One could only criticize the timegating of some content from the “Into the Light” package, which aims to keep players engaged artificially longer, but aside from that, everything is fine, and that’s the problem.

Bungie has created a decent event with the resources they had, and even made it free for all players. And here comes the problem: Is it not strange that Bungie, especially in times when they currently need money the most, is being so generous? I’m telling you, we should be worried.

Start video

Destiny 2: The Final Shape – Gameplay trailer for the new talents

“My boy, let’s go fishing”

What could the free event mean? Even long-time Destiny streamer “Aztecross” finds Bungie’s newfound generosity unsettling (via youtube.com).

He himself addresses Bungie’s unusual behavior and compares it to a grandfather with whom one has never understood throughout life until he invites you fishing. He treats you nicely and lovingly on this trip, which you are not used to, only to show up at his funeral a week later.

Aztecross believes this is an indirect message to the community. A final thank you to the fans, to let them know it could be over soon. And although this may sound extreme, there might be something to it.

Bungie has never or only very rarely given things away for free to its community. This can especially be confirmed by veterans of the franchise. Additionally, Bungie is pulling out all the stops and even brings up three completely new PvP maps from their forge.

The reactions from the developers are also faster, and they respond to community feedback. The best example is the timegating. The developers wanted to distribute many weapons over several weeks, but then changed their plan and shortened this time.

It is unusual to see Bungie operate this way, as one is not accustomed to such behavior from the developers. In any case, it is clear that “The Final Shape” not only marks the end of the Light and Darkness saga, it could, depending on the success, also mean the end of Destiny 2 and the end of Bungie, should the sales figures not meet what Sony wants.

Do you also find it strange that Bungie has become so generous? Do you think it is a sign and a final thank you, or is there nothing behind it? Let us know in the comments!

Players are banned in Overwatch 2 for small swear words, asking: “What is the filter for then?”

Cortyn 17. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Only a few words can lead to account suspension in Overwatch 2. It’s incomprehensible how some think and wonder why certain words can be hidden.

Even though there is a lot of criticism surrounding Overwatch 2, at least one thing seems to be taken very seriously by the developers: The punishments for players who do not adhere to the rules and throw around insults or slurs.

If someone is reported in Overwatch 2, they quickly lose their recognition levels and soon after, face a temporary account suspension that grows more severe. However, some do not see what they did wrong. After all, the game does have a profanity filter.

Start video

Overwatch: Let’s embark on an adventure with Venture

Autoplay

What is currently being discussed? On the Overwatch subreddit and on Twitter/X, several account suspensions are being discussed. Some find themselves suddenly banned and cannot explain why. Some do not understand why they received a suspension. They have tried multiple times to discuss the ban with Blizzard, but only received automated responses.

On Twitter/X, Blizzard commented on one case:

[The ban] was upheld, [automated] templates are all you get then. Such requests are not for discussions. In this case – profanity. F-bombs in any form are not accepted.

“F-bomb” refers to the expression “Fuck,” also with slightly different spellings.

Profanity filter is not a free pass: Some find it incomprehensible that small profane words like “Fuck” or “Shit” can lead to such consequences. Especially since there is an optional profanity filter in the game. Those who activate this will not see many words in the chat.

From this, some deduce: “If there is a profanity filter, that means I can curse. Because if you don’t want to read it, you can activate the filter.”

A fallacy, as Blizzard states in several instances:

No, the filter is for those who want to use it, but profanity has never been allowed in our games. If they are reported, they are grounds for sanctions.

Or to put it another way: Just because some players do not want to come into contact with profanity and can hide it, does not mean they have permission to use those words.

Why are the heroes allowed to curse? Another argument that some bring up is the fact that there are certain curses or profanities in Overwatch 2 itself. For instance, Genji often curses with a “Damn” and Cassidy prominently has “BAMF” on his belt – which stands for “Bad-Ass Motherfucker” – a phrase that could be kindly translated to Devil’s Guy in German. Other heroes also occasionally use lighter curses or insults.

However, many point out that this comparison is a bit flawed. There is indeed a difference between characters using profanities within a fictional universe and whether these occur in interaction with players.

The basic rule is simple: Do not throw insults or profanities around in the online space, and there will be no punishment for that.

What do you think of this rigorous enforcement of the rules? Is it good and right? Or is Blizzard too strict?

Twitch: The largest German streamer was away for 8 months – reveals how it looks financially

Lydia 17. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Until her break in 2023, Antonia “Reved” Staab was the biggest streamer on German Twitch. Now she officially streamed again and also talked about where the money comes from when a full-time streamer can no longer stream.

What happened with Reved? Reved announced in August 2023 an indefinite streaming break. She reported on health problems that she had been suffering from for quite some time. She wanted to finally address them calmly.

Since then, viewers have only seen the streamer on her Twitch channel for special occasions, to moderate her Stream Awards – and to shower Papaplatte with awards. Reved’s fans must have been quite surprised when they discovered her stream last Sunday – could this be the long-awaited comeback?

With a week-long streaming marathon, Reved performed at her best before her break.

Spontaneous stream with 20,000 viewers

What was this stream like? On April 14, 2024, Reved spontaneously started the stream. She explained that a recording of the format “The Dumbest Flies” was planned for that day. While sitting at the PC, she thought she might as well stream – perhaps she was tempted by her secret comeback.

The streamer admitted that she had previously been uncertain about such spontaneous streams, but she decided to give it a try.

How did it go? Contrary to Reved’s concerns, the spontaneous stream went really well. Although she announced the stream only about two hours in advance, up to 27,000 fans tuned in, with an average of 19,800 viewers – for comparison: before her break, Reved streamed to an average of 6,000 to 8,000 fans (via SullyGnome).
