For 10 years, especially Mad Max fans have been waiting for a film that is finally set to premiere in 2024. The story of this film has been in the works for a long time and now seems ready to be told, as you can see in this video by Marco Risch.
Who is Marco Risch? Marco Risch has been uploading videos with news, reviews, analyses, and interviews about current films, series, and video games on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur since 2015.
In his Podcast Nerd & Kultur , he chats every Sunday with his colleague Yves Arievich about topics such as Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. With both, he is part of the Webedia network, of which MeinMMO is also a part.

Nerd culture: We’ve been waiting for this movie for 10 years
Which film is finally set to be released? In his video, Marco reports that next year the film “Furiosa – A Mad Max Saga” is supposed to hit theaters and tells you what it’s all about.
The fourth film in the Mad Max series, “Fury Road,” was announced in 2014 after it had been in development for 15 years. The film quickly became a super hit and, according to Marco, still ranks among the most impressive action films of the century.
In 2015, Mad Max met the legendary Furiosa (Charlize Theron). Now, the young Furiosa is set to take the screen with her own film.
A chapter of the story that originated with Fury Road so that Theron could better understand her character. Now, we are also to learn this story to get to know Furiosa better – told by an almost 80-year-old George Miller, whose films, according to Marco, still refuse to look like they were made by an old man.
What can you expect from Furiosa? Marco describes in his video the “Jesus principle” of the Mad Max films, which ensures that each film can be seen as a standalone.
Because in each film, different eyewitnesses recount Max’s various deeds, which ultimately benefit others – in a world where everyone generally thinks of themselves.
Furiosa – A Mad Max Saga will be the exception. Because even though Mad Max is mentioned in the title, he would be in a completely different place in this film and timeframe.
Instead, you will experience the story of the young Furiosa, who wants to return to the Greenlands, as Marco reports. The film is supposed to encompass 15 years in the wastelands and recount different moments from Furiosa’s life.
In the video, Marco also tells you a bit about how Furiosa is still supposed to feel like a typical Mad Max film. And for everyone who finds that not enough, a new Mad Max is also being worked on.
Activision Blizzard has agreed to a settlement of 54 million US dollars to settle a lawsuit regarding discrimination against female employees.
What is this lawsuit about? In 2021, the U.S. agency “California Civil Rights Department” (abbreviated: CRD) filed a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard.
The background of the lawsuit involves various allegations that Activision Blizzard discriminated against and treated female employees inequitably. Women were reportedly paid less for the same jobs, top positions in the company predominantly went to white men, and women were sexually harassed.
The lawsuit consists of 29 pages and was filed on July 20, 2021, in the “Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles” (via aboutlaw).
Who is suing? The California Civil Rights Department is a U.S. agency that until July 2022 was known as the “California Department of Fair Employment and Housing”.
The agency advocates for the enforcement of civil rights and is tasked with protecting California residents from workplace discrimination, among other duties.
Activision Blizzard agrees to settlement
Why is the company paying 54 million dollars now? As stated by the Civil Rights Department in a press release on December 15, the agency has reached a settlement agreement with Activision Blizzard (via calcivilrights.ca.gov).
In the agency’s statement, it says:
The California Civil Rights Department (CRD) announced today the conclusion of a settlement agreement of approximately 54 million US dollars to address allegations that Activision Blizzard, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and Activision Publishing, Inc. (Activision Blizzard) discriminated against women in the company, including by denying promotion opportunities and paying less than men for essentially equal work.
According to CRD, Activision Blizzard will pay approximately 54,875,000 US dollars to cover direct compensation payments to female employees and the costs of the litigation. Of the total amount, about 45,750,000 US dollars will flow into a settlement fund intended for compensating female employees.
Therefore, women who worked as employees or contract workers for Activision Blizzard in California between October 12, 2015, and December 31, 2020, may be entitled to compensation.
Does the settlement have other implications? Yes, if the court should approve the settlement, Activision Blizzard will also be required, according to CRD, to hire an independent auditor to evaluate Activision Blizzard’s “compensation and promotion policies as well as training materials and make recommendations.”
Additionally, Activision Blizzard will also need to continue to strive to include qualified candidates from underrepresented communities in recruitment, hiring, and retention efforts.
Kotick denied that Activision Blizzard has a sexism problem
However, in February 2023, Activision Blizzard had to pay a 35 million US dollar fine after an investigation by the “U.S. Security and Exchange Commission” (abbreviated SEC) revealed that Activision Blizzard had violated several laws and regulations.
The game will feature various PvP modes along with PvE content.
The different maps offered by EFT: Arena are set in the fictional Russian city of Tarkov.
At various gaming events, selected streamers and event guests have already had the chance to test the game. One mode in particular focuses on two teams of five battling against each other.
Also, EFT: Arena is playable again at the ongoing DreamHack Hannover 2023. There, the developer studio Battlestate Games showcased a trailer announcing the start of beta testing.
You can watch the beta launch trailer for EFT: Arena here:

EFT: Arena: Closed beta release announced
When is the release of EFT: Arena? The closed beta for Escape from Tarkov: Arena starts on December 17, 2023. This was announced by Battlestate Games at DreamHack Hannover 2023 (via Twitch).
However, the start of the closed beta for Escape from Tarkov: Arena is comparable to a real release. As of today, the extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov is still only playable in a closed beta, for which you need to purchase access for at least 52 €.
How can you participate in the beta? Access to the beta for Escape from Tarkov: Arena will be granted in waves. To be invited to the beta, you need to be logged in on the official website Tarkov.Arena.com).
The first wave will consist of players who purchased the most expensive version of Escape from Tarkov, the “Edge of Darkness Limited Edition,” first. Additionally, those who pre-ordered EFT: Arena first will receive priority access (via Twitch).
What is the cost of EFT: Arena? You can pre-order EFT: Arena as a standalone game or gain access through the “Edge of Darkness Limited Edition” of Escape from Tarkov. Depending on which variant you choose, the price varies significantly.
37.00 Euros – Pre-order EFT-Arena as a standalone game
155 Euros – Acquire EFT-Arena as a buyer of the “Edge of Darkness Limited Edition” of Escape from Tarkov
If you want to purchase EFT: Arena, it can only be done through the game’s website. The shooter is not available on Steam or other well-known launchers like the Epic Games Store. This also applies to the “regular” Escape from Tarkov:

What does the trailer show you? In a short trailer, you can get a first look at the new content that awaits you in the multiplayer space simulation through the new update for Alpha 3.22.

Star Citizen Alpha 3.22 Trailer
Why do players like this trailer so much? Besides a few comments that express excitement about the new content like the X1, players repeatedly praise the team behind the trailer.
This is indeed impressive with its cinematic scenes and beautiful graphics. For example, user thegamingtribunal writes: “By far one of the best trailers to date.” And apparently, he is not alone in this opinion.
User TheStumafoo goes as far as to say that the developers should just make movies from now on. Generally, the team behind the trailer is praised, and similar to user robopenguin5501, some believe that CIG should give them a raise for this work.
In a humorous comment, user BR1ZZO writes: “Cinematics team, blink twice if you are being held hostage and forced to work 24/7 on these masterpieces? We won’t do anything about it, because they are damn incredible, but we are here for you.”
What content does Alpha 3.22 bring? With the update to the new alpha version, Star Citizen delivers some new content again, as you can read on the official site (via starcitizen.tools). In the trailer, you can also catch a glimpse of the new content.
Among other things, the X1 is introduced as a new vehicle at the beginning. A stylish single-seater with which you can explore your surroundings. Among others, user carlosmendez506 writes in his comment (via YouTube): “I have waited forever for the X1. It’s finally here! My 400i is complete.”
You can also catch a glimpse of the new hairstyles for your characters as well as new areas in the trailer.
From the latter, a total of 15 are supposed to be added through the update. You should find abandoned settlements, others serve as local trading hubs, and some house gangs that won’t be pleased about your visit.
Additionally, the developers promise you some gameplay updates:
The Jumptown event returns revamped and is set to start on December 22, 2023.
A new update for the Arena Commander offers a new racetrack and arena, Bloodshot Ridge, and an exciting new FPS map, Maker’s Point.

Destiny 2 is known for its diverse selection of weapons, providing players with numerous tactical options. In Season 23, a new, crazy weapon type with rocket-based casing is drawing particular attention. MeinMMO tells you how good the weapon “Owed Grace”is and whether the effort is worth it.
What kind of new weapon type is that? Season 23 of Destiny 2 has expanded the weapon arsenal of the loot shooter with a brand-new weapon type featuring “rocket-bearing casing”.
The first weapon of this kind is “Owed Grace”, a crazy mix of legendary arc pistol and a rocket launcher that uses special ammo instead of primary ammo.
Your perk pool includes typical rocket launcher perks like High Velocity Rounds as well as benefits like “Precision Hits” or “Adagio”.
Additionally, its fire rate of 120 is significantly slower than its peers, but it also deals strong single-shot damage with every fired bullet.
In Season 23, you should have the perfect tool against anti-barrier champions with it.
In this article, we will see if the weapon lives up to the hype. Additionally, we will take a closer look at the perks and tell you what you should aim for to get the most out of the weapon.
This is new in Season 23 of Destiny 2:
Start video
Destiny 2: Season 23 sends the Guardians for a Last Wish to the Dragon’s Lair
“This thing sounds satisfying and hits hard”
What makes the weapon so good? The 120 archetype shines with a solid fire rate and high single-shot damage values. With precise shooting behavior and well-balanced handling, it is mostly suitable for PvE rather than PvP use.
Its specialty is the rocket-bearing casing, which fires self-propelled rocket ammo.
The pistol rocket shots can not only achieve critical hits but also cause impact damage and a small AOE explosion.
Precision hits are not necessarily required with this weapon.
Additionally, there is an incredible ammo economy that can exceed 50 shots.
These are the Godrolls for “Owed Grace”
It is important to select the perks according to your preferred play style to fully exploit the potential of the new weapon type in Destiny 2. However, most players have already identified their clear favorite among the weapon perks and that is Voltshot.
The arc pistol “Owed Grace” has a rocket-bearing casing
This is the Godroll for PvE:
Barrel: Quick Shots
Magazine: High Velocity Rounds
Perk 1: Impulse Amplifier or Signal Light Rounds
Perk 2: Voltshot
Masterwork: Speed
In PvP, “Owed Grace” doesn’t fare as well. Here it cannot be compared to other special ammo options nor keep up with them. Shotguns, fusion rifles, and snipers are the better choice here. However, if you still want to give it a try, we recommend this combo.
What experiences have you had with the pistol “Owed Grace” in Destiny 2? And do you believe that weapons with rocket-bearing casing can secure a permanent place in the Destiny 2 meta? Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.
In World of Warcraft Dragonflight it is raining buffs and nerfs again. Monks and priests rejoice – but demon hunters shed tears.
In World of Warcraft Dragonflight, the 3rd season is already a few weeks old, but balance is still being tinkered with. Blizzard has analyzed the data from the past week and found several classes and specializations that are either underperforming significantly – or are too strong. Therefore, there is a new round of buffs and nerfs affecting many classes.
The most important points at a glance: The clear winners here include Windwalker monks and shadow priests, who will feel a significant boost in their damage. But summoners, mages, and warlocks also feel a tailwind.
In contrast, it looks bad for demon hunters and assassination rogues – here it is downhill and damage is throttled. But healing monks also receive a small nerf.

When does it go live? The changes will go live with the next maintenance, on Wednesday, December 20. Until then, you will have to endure your (underperforming) specialization or enjoy your overperforming specialization.
This will likely be the last balance change this year, as the development team is traditionally very thinly staffed over Christmas.
DOTA 2 is one of the most popular games on Steam and the competitor of League of Legends. Both MOBAs are also very competitive and free-to-play, which is why they face similar issues. Among them are particularly smurf accounts and the toxic behavior of some players. Valve is once again addressing these issues and presenting them to the community in a special way.
Who is it about?
Mason “masondota2” Venne (32) is a US streamer and former e-sports player of DOTA 2.
In his active career as a professional player, Mason Venne played for teams like Evil Geniuses, Digital Chaos, and Infamous.
On Twitch, Mason had 2,617 viewers over the past 90 days and has over 240,000 followers (as of December 16, 2023).
Although Mason occasionally streams other games like World of Warcraft or Path of Exile, he spends most of his time in DOTA 2 – at least until recently.

Just in time for Christmas, Valve gives away permanent bans
What a gift this is? Valve is now giving away in DOTA 2 “gifts that result in a ban”. Included is a highly toxic lump of coal that is meant to be a reference to the toxic behavior of players.
When affected players open the gift, they receive a message that they have been permanently banned. The reason stated in the description of the lump of coal is a violation of Steam’s guidelines. An example of such a violation is smurfing.
Mason Venne also received a toxic lump of coal as a gift and was given a permanent ban. The streamer was live at the time and reacted with astonishment: “What? Am I banned? […] What if I just never opened it? Are you serious?”
Here you can see a clip of the situation on X.com:

Streamer comments on the ban, viewers say: “Nonsense”
What does the streamer say? Following his ban and the corresponding stream clip, Mason Venne addressed the community on Reddit and tried to explain his situation with a statement.
In nearly 6,000 characters, the streamer stated that he had realized some time ago that he enjoyed DOTA 2 the most when he played it competitively and communicated accordingly with his team.
DOTA 2, however, has a so-called “Communication Score.” This is a value that, simplistically speaking, evaluates a player’s communication. If the score is very low, a player is characterized by poor communication, for example in the form of toxic behavior. This can lead to the person being banned from text and/or voice chat. This also applies to Mason.
The 32-year-old explains that he tried everything and behaved well to increase his Communication Score and be able to talk to his teammates again. However, the value simply did not rise high enough. Therefore, he paid someone to play on his account and increase the score for him.
Although he had already decided after one day not to arrange for someone else to boost the Communication Score, he was banned. In conclusion, he asks for a second chance because he loves playing and streaming DOTA 2.
What does the community say: On Reddit, some players responded to the streamer’s statement and made it clear that he has been known for toxic behavior for years: “I recently watched a stream and you were flaming non-stop, toxic as hell. Bro, you know you do that.”
The comment has a total of 1,500 upvotes, while the streamer’s statement has 1,200. Other users also commented on Reddit that Mason Venne has been “a symbol of the toxicity of the game” for years and deserved the ban.
Besides toxic behavior, smurf accounts are a major problem in DOTA 2. When these are hit by a ban wave, it is a reason for celebration for many players:
A player buys an RTX 4080 from Nvidia for 150 euros. The price would be fantastic, but the user is not buying the graphics card because of the price.Because both he and the community are clear: behind such a brilliant price, there simply can’t be a real graphics card.
Now a user explained on Reddit that he bought an RTX 4080 for only 150 euros on eBay. Normally, the price for an RTX 4080 is significantly higher. On geizhals.de you can find the cheapest offer for about 1,100 euros.
But there is a good reason why the user bought this offer. Because he wants to find out what he really gets. In another post, he already explained that he had friendly contact with the seller:
He sent me pictures of the working graphics card and there is still a warranty. Additionally, [the sale] is covered by eBay’s warranty.
I bought it with the feeling “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
Community disagrees on what the buyer really gets
How does the community react? The announcement that the user ordered the GPU initially causes astonishment. Because the community disagrees on what the player ultimately really receives:
Some speculate that he will receive a photo of the graphics card.
Others believe that he will receive a brick in a graphics card package.
Still others speculate that he will receive an RTX keychain.
For everyone, it is at least clear that he will not receive a graphics card in the end. Because behind such seemingly great offers often lurk fraudsters.
Despite the friendly contact, many are curious about what the user ultimately really gets. We will keep an eye on the user and keep you updated should he post what he really received.
What is the problem with the offer? On all major platforms like eBay, Amazon, and others you will find them: these great offers that sound too good to be true:
A high-end processor for 200 euros.
An RTX 4090 for under 1,000 euros.
Modern OLED TVs that are said to be available for only 500 euros.
All these numbers are indeed completely made up, but unfortunately reflect the offers you really find online. Because fraudsters rely on people jumping at the good prices. In most cases, however, you do not receive any product, but rather receive strange emails that want to lure you away from Amazon.
What should you watch out for with such offers? In principle, you should always question such offers and use your common sense. In many cases, such frauds can also be easily recognized:
The imprint and linked websites of the provider are often neglected and many years old. Facebook pages often haven’t had a post in years.
The mentioned phone numbers are unreachable or you end up elsewhere because the provider has since reallocated the number.
Such fraudsters often offer a whole range of items at ridiculous prices and predominantly high-priced products. You might find graphics cards alongside dishwashers or brand-name bicycles.
A bike shop that suddenly sells graphics cards or a plant boutique that sells you washing machines should also seem strange to you.
Especially during important sales times like Christmas, many fraudsters try to get their hands on the money of unsuspecting customers. So be cautious when buying your Christmas gifts, because with such seemingly great deals, you only end up with a lot of trouble.
However, there are also fraud cases where the seller is ultimately not to blame. Because often it has been another customer:
Anime series can also be really brutal and disturbing. Justifiably, some of them are only suitable for ages 18 and over – we present a few of them.
“Anime? Aren’t they just cartoon series for kids?” Such or at least similar questions, often accompanied by a judging facial expression, are certainly something many have experienced. That anime offers much more and can be quite profound and emotional is clear to most fans. However, some series are even the complete opposite and are not suitable for children at all. Therefore, we present to you today 5 anime series that have received the age rating of “18 years and up” in Germany.
Accordingly, you should also keep your distance from these series if younger family members are nearby – as these 5 anime series are definitely not suitable for children.

Why is Elfen Lied rated 18? The first two episodes of Elfen Lied are particularly marked by very cruel and detailed scenes of violence, which at the time led to a rating of FSK 18. Generally, the entire series is not timid and depicts brutality as well as physical and psychological cruelty with a lot of detail. Body parts are frequently severed, and details such as protruding bones are visible.
Only in 2022 was Elfen Lied re-evaluated by the FSK and the rating was subsequently lowered to “16 years and up” – yet it is easy to see based on the series why it was originally rated “18”.
The Eminence in Shadow

After his premature death, Minoru is reincarnated as Cid in a fantasy world where he can finally live out his dream: to guide the fate of the world as a shadowy eminence in the background. What starts as a fantasy role-playing game of a boy almost accidentally develops into a major phenomenon – because the organization “Shadow Garden” consists of members who faithfully follow Cid’s orders, even if he only meant it as a joke.
At the same time, Cid tries to maintain the appearance of a “useless NPC” despite his exaggerated powers, just to witness how the story develops from the sidelines.

Why is The Eminence in Shadow rated 18? The ninth episode of The Eminence in Shadow is the reason for an FSK rating of 18. The reasons are the themes of “violence” and “injuries” – anyone who has seen the episode will know what it’s about. The depiction of violence here is very graphic, is described in detail, and is simultaneously glorified by the perpetrator, even if it is a villain.
All other episodes would have given the anime “just” a rating of “16 years and up” – but because the overall rating is based on the highest individual rating, the whole series is rated 18.
More anime rated 18 can be found on the next page.

A cinematic is currently exciting the fans of World of Warcraft. At the center is an Orc who amusingly bites the digital dust.
In recent months, World of Warcraft has experienced a surge in popularity again. This is due not only to the good condition of Dragonflight but also to the great success of World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore. Here, the heroes have only a single life – when they die, their journey ends, and they must start anew.
On the way to level 60, many heroes have lost their lives. It has become a major phenomenon to watch the funniest or most ridiculous deaths of well-known streamers. Often, thousands have been live as their favorite streamer made a preventable mistake, ruining days and hours of work.
The most famous of these deaths has now been honored with its own cinematic.

What kind of death was that? It concerns the streamer Guzu. He tragically and quite amusingly lost his warrior in the dungeon “The Temple of Atal’Hakkar”. The group was currently fighting the green dragon “Weaver” when Guzu responded to a question in the chat. He showed his community the mousepad from “Dragonflight” and held it up to the camera – only to be thrown into the air by the dragon at that exact moment.
The throw propelled Guzu directly into the only large hole in the room. Panic-stricken, he tries to drink a Noggenfogger Elixir to hopefully activate “slow fall” – but in vain. The impact ends the warrior’s story forever.
What kind of cinematic is this? The video comes from YouTuber Hurricane. He took the time to recreate the entire scene with modern graphics and a lot of humor.
Hurricane has been known for his high-quality trailers surrounding World of Warcraft for years. In fact, his videos have been so good that for several years now he has even been officially creating trailers for Blizzard – sometimes for special announcements in WoW Classic, sometimes for competitive events, such as dungeon tournaments.
The streamer is excited: Guzu himself is also absolutely thrilled with the video. When he reacts to it in the stream, he can hardly stop laughing and has to watch it multiple times in a row:

Especially the many small details, such as the built-in mousepad, the search for the Noggenfogger Elixir, and even the demonic rune (a reference to another death of Guzu) make the video a significant tribute for him.

Is it worth buying?
What you need to know: In general, the ticket gives you a few extra items and bonuses that exceed the monetary value of the ticket. This includes items like the Rocket Radar, Snivy, and Incense, which cost some Poké Coins in the shop, or Elite TMs which are otherwise very rare to obtain.
However, keep in mind: You can only purchase the ticket with real money, not with Poké Coins. So you can’t earn the coins in the game for this purpose.
The ticket is worth it especially if you were planning to buy items anyway. However, you don’t need it to generally participate in the Community Day and catch the event Pokémon.
In LEGO Fortnite you can find marble to further expand your settlement or to be able to craft equipment. We will show you where to find the material and what you can build with it.
Where can I find marble? You can find marble in the caves in the grassland. You can recognize them by a small cluster of rocks with an entrance on one side. Once you have discovered a cave, it will be marked on your map with a special symbol, so you can find it again and again.
Caves are found in such rocksYou can find the caves you have already discovered by the symbols
In the caves in the grassland you will find, in addition to skeletons, scorpions, and spiders, also knob-root and marble. To mine the marble, you need at least a pickaxe of tier “uncommon”.
Also take a torch, a sword, and enough food with you. Clear some space in your inventory to carry a lot of marble and other materials from the cave. Additionally, there are often chests with useful loot in the caves.
Bonus tip: Sometimes the marble is found on the ceilings in the cave, which you cannot easily reach. So pack some wood in your inventory, or collect some in the cave. With 2 wood, you can then easily build a staircase (you will find stairs under “building materials”) and mine the marble in higher places.
The white chunks in grassland caves are marble
What do I need marble for? With the marble, you can upgrade your settlement in LEGO Fortnite, as well as craft various machines and items. Here are a few of them listed below:
Due to an error, Pokémon GO temporarily distributed two sought-after legendary Pokémon: the black and the white Kyurem.
This is what trainers report: As players from the community report to Pokémon GO on platforms such as reddit and Twitter, it was possible to obtain the black and the white Kyurem in Pokémon GO for a short time.
They were distributed as rewards in the PvP battle league – despite the fact that these two powerful forms are actually not in the game yet. So far, only the normal but weaker form of Kyurem is available in Pokémon GO.
Such examples are currently shown in various posts on reddit or other social media, like here:

Of course, trainers were extremely surprised when they suddenly encountered the new Kyurem forms as rewards. But it became clear quickly: This was not planned.
Niantic corrects the error – This is what the developers of Pokémon GO say about Kyurem
This is how Niantic reacts: In a post on X.com (formerly Twitter), Niantic Support responded. They state that these two Pokémon were unintended and that the error has now been fixed. Accordingly, they are currently not available in the battle league or anywhere else in the game.
Furthermore, Niantic writes that they want to investigate the origin of the error, check further steps, and apologize for the “confusion and the circumstances”.

This is what the players say: In the comments, some players report that they wish that the monsters would just be released now – because they want to catch them too. Others write that this would have been a great motivation for them to participate in the PvP battle league.
But this is not surprising, since the two forms of Kyurem are two long-awaited Pokémon. In the main games, they emerge when Kyurem fuses with the other legendary Pokémon Zekrom or Reshiram. Kyurem belongs to the Pokémon with the highest attack values in these forms.

How things will progress with the two Pokémon remains to be seen. Also, what will happen to the specimens that trainers have already caught is still unknown. We will keep you updated as soon as there are further news.
In the coming year, the new expansion “The War Within” for World of Warcraft will be released. To ensure a smooth process, Blizzard is testing the addon on initial test servers. There are also news regarding other major MMORPGs. MeinMMO summarizes the most important news of this week for you.
The highlights of the week:
Players have formed a community in EVE Online, where an AI takes on many decisions. It helps, for example, in sorting applicants and creating the company logo. However, for important decisions, the human members have the final word.
Blizzard is discontinuing its authenticator. The app is set to disappear on January 5. Until then, players have time to migrate to the “Battle.net Mobile App.” If the migration does not occur, accounts could lose security, or some exclusive items might be lost.
It will probably take 2-3 months for the alpha to start on the servers. The beta is expected in spring 2024. It will likely take a few more months until the release.
Blizzard has released a trailer that appropriately announces the upcoming expansion:

Many MMORPGs celebrate the winter and Christmas season
This is what happened with the big MMORPGs:
In Lost Ark, it’s a frosty affair: As reported last week, a major update for the MMORPG has been released this week. Players can now explore the wonderland Voldis.
The Elder Scrolls Online turns 10! Next year, the MMORPG will celebrate its special anniversary for a year. There will be local events worldwide, including in Germany. Fans can expect cosplay competitions, new gameplay, panels, and more (via TESO).
Tower of Fantasy kicks off the winter celebrations. An update 3.5 is set to be released on December 21, 2023, which includes a new character named Yan Miao. Next year, there will be a crossover with Evangelion (via MassivelyOP).
Winter festivities are also starting in RuneScape. Lumbridge is suddenly covered in white snow, and players can meet Jack Frost. All players participating in the event can receive cosmetic goodies as rewards (via RuneScape).
ArchAge also receives its winter update, but it is not quite as festive. The update includes a new boss that players will have to deal with. The development team has also added some PvE options (via ArchAge).
This is what happened with the MMORPGs in development:
Book of Travels is a small MMORPG or TMORPG that struggles with a low player count. Nevertheless, the development team is taking the time to completely overhaul the combat system. Players can experience it in Early Access.
Palia is still in Early Access but has now been released on Nintendo Switch. The cozy MMO offers crossplay between PC and Switch players as well as cross-progression (via Palia).
The sandbox MMORPG Pax Dei is ending its alpha phase. Thanks to the test phase, the developers have noticed new bugs, such as buildings disappearing. The team thanks all players and is pleased to have gained new insights from the test. The next test is scheduled for the first quarter of 2024 (via MMORPG.com).
With that, we have summarized everything important that happened this week in the world of MMORPGs.
What were you happy about this week? What annoyed you? Let us know in the comments at MeinMMO.
WoW Dragonflight is currently popular with fans. MeinMMO demon Cortyn explains why:
On Steam there is currently a strong offer. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is free to play for a few days. If you want, you can buy the game for only 10 €. DLCs and other games are also reduced. The game has a rating of “very positive” with 89% positive votes in recent reviews.
What kind of game is this?
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is the second part of the Pathfinder series by developer Owlcat. The setting is based on the pen-and-paper of the same name, which in turn is a further development of Dungeons & Dragons.
In Wrath of the Righteous, you play a crusader who must prevent the world of Golarion from being overrun by demons. You develop special, almost divine powers. You have access to 25 classes and 12 races.
The role-playing game is characterized by the fact that your decisions often lead to different outcomes and can even change the main storyline. There is also a secret ending.
Especially players who have just finished Baldur’s Gate 3 and are now looking for new entertainment should check out Pathfinder. The game is one of our best alternatives to Baldur’s Gate 3.
This is the offer: You can play Wrath of the Righteous on Steam completely free from now until December 18. However, you cannot keep the game afterwards. If you decide to buy Pathfinder by December 21, there is a big discount:
the Enhanced Edition costs only 9.99 € instead of 39.99 €
for the Mythic Edition with all DLCs you’ll pay 21.22 € instead of 88.97 €
want the predecessor Pathfinder: Kingmaker as well, you will pay 26.98 € for the bundle instead of 59.98 €
if you are also interested in the RPG “For the King”, you can get both games for a total of 12.73 € instead of 59.98 €
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a classic role-playing game that focuses heavily on story and character development. You have companions with whom you can even build relationships, but in relation to Baldur’s Gate 3, there is significantly more text and fewer cutscenes.
According to How Long To Beat, you can expect a playtime of about 131 hours with Wrath of the Righteous for the first playthrough alone, if you include side and character quests. This also matches our experiences.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – The Trailer for the Role-Playing Hit
The studio behind Pathfinder is the insider tip for role-playing fans
Pathfinder is developed by Owlcat Studios, who have enjoyed a good reputation among RPG fans since the first part, Kingmaker. Only at release does it traditionally happen that the games can still be somewhat buggy.
However, since Wrath of the Righteous was released in 2021 and has received numerous patches and DLCs, you can expect a polished gaming experience.
By the way, the current offer is thanks to the release of the new Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, a CRPG set in the dark future. This is also from Owlcat and currently suffers from some teething problems, which are being patched over time. Unlike Pathfinder, Rogue Trader even offers a co-op mode.
If the fantasy setting doesn’t appeal to you, I can personally highly recommend Rogue Trader so far. In the first week, I already spent over 60 hours there and fully immerse myself in the rough, dystopian Warhammer world. A preview report on Rogue Trader will be released on Sunday. Alternatively, you can find the 10 best role-playing games on Steam here.

Pokémon GO is bringing the double Community Day to conclude the year 2023 this weekend. On December 16 and 17, you will encounter plenty of Pokémon. All info and tips.
This is the event: Normally, the Community Day focuses on a special Pokémon each month. However, in December, there is a special version of the event: You will encounter all the Pokémon from the Community Days in 2023 again, and you also have a chance to catch those from 2022.
There are some really strong Pokémon involved, and on top of that, there are plenty of bonuses. To ensure you are well prepared for the event, you can find our guide to the Community Day here.
We will show you all spawns, bonuses and summarize what you need to know about the event.

Special Attacks for the Community Day in December 2023
You should note: On Community Day, you can also get the special C-Day attacks that you can teach to the evolutions of the event monsters.
You will receive these if you evolve the event monsters into their final form between 9 AM and 9 PM on both days.
Caution: So do not evolve your monsters on Saturday between 9 PM and the following Sunday at 9 AM, even though it falls between the two event days.
Warning for Cryptos: If you have a crypto variant of the event monsters and want to evolve them to obtain one of the special attacks, they must have forgotten Frustration. If they still know Frustration, you will not receive a special attack even through evolution.
Which attacks should you secure? We have a comprehensive overview of the best Pokémon and attacks for the Community Day in December 2023 here for you:
Prepare yourselves: During this Community Day, you will find plenty of monsters that you may already have. If you’ve missed certain Community Days, you should focus on the monsters you still lack or from which you still need the shiny.
Otherwise, there are also some strong attackers included that are always worth catching. These include, for example, Kapuno, Lichtel, Praktibalk, Togetic, or Milza. So set yourself goals for the Pokémon you want to catch. You can find a list of the best attackers in Pokémon GO here.
What items do I need? The balls are the most important, but with additional items, you can make even better use of the bonuses.
Incense & Lures: Are active for 3 hours if you ignite them during the event. Tip: You can also do this shortly before the end to allow incense to run past 5 PM.
Hatching Machines: Ensure that your hatching machine is empty at the start of the event to make use of the halved distance.
With Star Pieces and Lucky Eggs you can further increase the Stardust or XP bonuses.

Trials of Osiris from December 15 to 19 – Maps, Weapons, and Information
Off to the Trials
This week the Trials are taking place again. Lord Saladin is gone and now the 14th Saint can take over the position in Season 23 and host the PvP endgame.
Which map is up this week? In the Trials, Guardians must focus on a specific map. It does not change and remains active until the weekly reset on December 19 at 6:00 PM.
This map is active: Javelin-4
The PvP map “Javelin-4”
This is the reward for a flawless run: Every week you will also find a very special weapon at the Lighthouse, which you will receive as a Master version for your flawless run, i.e., 7 victories. You can earn the weapon until the upcoming Tuesday, December 19 at 6:00 PM.
As a reward, there is always an Adept weapon when you have made it to the Lighthouse safe with your ticket.
This week’s Adept weapon is: Snow Tooth, Surge rifle
“Snow Tooth” – Surge rifle, Master
Focus on the loot you want: You can also focus your Trials engrams on your desired weapon with the 14th Saint. Additionally, you can get enhancement prisms and ascendant shards.
Your rewards increase further as soon as you have a complete Pass – even if you lost one or two Trials matches.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris begin today, December 15, 2023, at 6:00 PM and end with the weekly reset on December 19, 2023, at 6:00 PM.
For players of Destiny 2, the wait for the next DLC is extremely long. The end of the Light and Darkness saga had to be postponed. But it also has its advantages. During this time, you can accomplish things like cleaning out the vault or farming special treasures. Before you do that, you might want to know this list. It contains rare weapon legends and perk combinations that are really worth it in Season 23.
If you have these weapons, you’re cool: In Destiny 2, hunting for strong weapons and good perks is the main focus. Some are average, others are useless. However, there are also some very rare weapons and perks in the history of this game that you should not dispose of.
Some weapons are no longer available and so rare that their existence is almost forgotten.
Others are relics from past seasons and events in Destiny 2 that are still available.
Or they are very specific and strong perk combos that are so rare that you should definitely save or farm them.
All treasures have one thing in common: They are for some players more than just virtual pixels on the screen. They are expressions of skill, commitment, and perhaps even luck. Therefore, the mantra is: Do not delete them from your vault if you encounter them. CoolGuy has picked out a total of ten of these rare pieces for you in one of his latest videos, and we present them to you.
In the latest dungeon of Destiny 2, there are unique weapons:
Start video
Destiny 2: Dungeon “Ruins of the Warlord” holds a brittle secret
Rank 10: The perk “Tap A” on Burst Pistols
[toc]
Why is it so rare? Bungie made the decision at some point that the perk “Tap A” could no longer be found as often on burst pistols because it was incredibly strong and still is to this day. Currently, there are only two pistols in the game that can have this perk at all.
The legendary 2-shot pistol “Threshold Watcher” from the dungeon “Column of the Guardian”
As well as the legendary 3-shot burst Vanguard pistol “The Last Dance”.
After shooting, you get +40 stability, -50% recoil, and -10% accuracy for 6 seconds from “Tap A”. Automatic or rewound rifles have a time delay. Not so with these burst pistols.
They can practically always benefit from the perk and give you maximum stability and a huge aim assist consistently. So if you have one of these treasures in the vault, you should not delete the weapon, but unpack it in Season 23 and have fun with the firearm.
Can you still get it? Yes. Even though the perk is incredibly strong and Bungie does not bring it very often anymore, it is still available in the game. We recommend that you focus on the 3-shot burst “The Last Dance”. You can currently get it from the “Dares of Eternity” if these weapons are in rotation – from December 19 to 26.
Rank 9: “Flinchback-Choke” Shotguns
The shotgun Ikelos_SG_V1.0.3
Why is it so rare? In 9th place, we have the rare shotgun perk combo, “Flinchback” and “Choke”, which should also not be disposed of. Even in difficult situations, it keeps you safe from flinch counterattacks and can still hit hard.
Thanks to “Flinchback”, you have an overshield when using this weapon.
“Choke” increases damage by 50% for five seconds after a successful melee attack or three shots fired, +30 improved handling and +30 faster reload speed.
This is a powerful shotgun shot, and the first shot will effortlessly break through the shield due to its force, no matter what content it is in Destiny 2.
Can you still get the weapons? There are only two shotguns that can have this special combination, and those are “Windrose” and “Ikelos_SG_V1.0.3”. “Windrose” hits enemies harder. However, this perk combo was only found on the original version of the weapon, and you can no longer farm it.
The Ikelos_SG_V1.0.3 hits faster and is still available. To get it, stop by the “Prophecy” dungeon. There, it can drop from the additional loot boxes that can be found there. Or you can regularly visit the gunsmith Banshee-44 in the Tower and hope for your luck.
Rank 8: “Psi Hermetic V” Stasis Pulse Rifle
The pulse rifle “Psi Hermetic V”
Why is the weapon so special? The pulse rifle “Psi Hermetic V” is the only self-triggering “Gravestone” weapon in the entire game. So be sure to save it.
Why? It has the origin perk “Wildcard” for PvE and can automatically destroy Stasis crystals. This treasure is rounded off by the availability of the perk “Golden Tricorn” which is useful in PvP.
Thanks to “Wildcard”, there is a chance with annihilations using this weapon to create experimental scatter ammo at the target’s location, and this then instantly destroys your created Stasis crystals. Great in PvE.
For PvP, “Psi Hermetic V” is also the only pulse rifle with piercing casing, which is also available with the perk “Golden Tricorn”. So the perk “Kill Clip”, but without needing to reload, because the duration of the 50% damage buff can be refreshed by another kill with the appropriate ability.
Can you still get the weapons? Yes. Bungie has packed such treasures into the Legendary Lost Sectors. So you can still farm the weapon there. Additionally, it is occasionally available from the gunsmith Banshee-44 in the Tower. So lucky are the Guardians who should already find this treasure in their vault.
Rank 7: Hip Fire Fioritura-59
The pistol “Fioritura-59”
Why is the weapon so special? In 7th place is once again a pistol, namely “Fioritura-59”. It is the only weapon in Destiny 2 that drops with “Hip Fire Grip” and “Hand Cannon”.
The pistol generally has a base aim assist of about 15 meters. If “Hand Cannon” is active, it increases to 22.5 meters.
But with “Hip Fire Grip”, it’s even more awesome for the fight in the air – even without Icarus grip. You also get bonuses like +25 on stability, +17 on accuracy, and also range.
“Fioritura-59” is the only pistol that is really competitive with this perk combination.
Can you still get the weapon? If you do not have this weapon yet, you can unfortunately only get it by luck. Again, Banshee-44, the gunsmith, is your point of contact.
Rank 6: “Head Seeker” Pistols
The Europa pistol “High Albedo”
Why is this perk so special? When the perk “Head Seeker” was buffed by Bungie, many 2- and 3-shot pistols really took off, as the perk lasts for 0.55 seconds.
Thanks to “Head Seeker”, body shots temporarily increase precision damage and aim assist, and dealing additional non-precision damage updates the timer.
With this perk, the pistols “Senuna SI6” or “High Albedo” drop, for example.
Can you still get the weapons? Yes. “High Albedo” is still available on Europa. You need to go to Variks for that. “Senuna SI6” is currently available from the rotations in the Legendary Lost Sectors.
On the next page, we will tell you which legendary solar bow is better than an exo weapon.

Unfortunately, there is (still) no traditional fast travel like in Skyrim in LEGO Fortnite. However, there are some tricks to help you travel faster. In this guide, we present them to you.
Walking is the first and easiest means of transportation in LEGO Fortnite. However, it is also the slowest. If you want to give your movement a real boost, we have three stylish options for you here.
Build yourself a car
A car in LEGO Fortnite does not need as many components as a real vehicle. Of course, you don’t need a driver’s license either. A guide can help though, and you can find one here in our detailed guide on building: LEGO Fortnite: Building a car with a steering wheel – It’s that easy

Build yourself a glider
Your character has a total of four equipment slots. One of them can be used for the glider. Once you have built and equipped one, you can jump from any elevated point and pull the glider with another click of the jump button. This way, you can quickly glide over the map.
While you still need an elevated point to jump off for the glider, you can move upwards directly from the ground with a simple airship. For this, you will need the following materials. You can find all items under “Toys”:
1 dynamic foundation
1-2 large nozzles
1 activation lever
4 small balloons
And here’s how to combine everything: First, build the dynamic foundation. Then attach the nozzle(s) to one edge of the foundation. Now jump onto the foundation and attach the activation lever. With the lever, you can control the nozzles. Lastly, just attach the balloons.
With this, you have a simple flying platform that quickly takes you from A to B. However, if you’re up for a challenge and really motivated, this build from reddit could be exciting for you:

Here’s a tip: You can craft small and large balloons. They vary in their respective lifting capacity. The bigger and more complex your aircraft is, the more balloons it needs to lift the platform into the air. It’s best to test which balloons in which size are most useful for your purposes.
How do you prefer to get around in LEGO Fortnite? Have you also built a vehicle, or are you still diligently walking across the map? We look forward to your comments.

In LEGO Fortnite, you can expect not only friendly animals and NPCs but also numerous enemies and other dangers. We explain how to increase your armor to protect yourself in the guide.
Here’s how to increase your armor in LEGO Fortnite: In LEGO Fortnite, you increase your armor value not through special clothing, but through items you can craft at your workbench. This includes amulets and jewelry. These items not only increase your armor but also grant you a health bonus in the form of hearts and sometimes even provide additional effects.
You can see the bonus to armor and hearts at the top right in the item overview. The bonuses are stacked. You have a total of 4 slots for armor and can equip 3 items of the same type:
These amulets and pieces of jewelry you can craft:
There are also epic variants of the items that each give you 14 armor and 5 hearts (via Dot Esports). As soon as we unlock these in the game, we will update the table.
Start video
Epic Games shows LEGO Fortnite in the cinematic trailer
Why should I increase my armor? In LEGO Fortnite, there are various enemies in all biomes. Especially stronger enemies, like the giant monsters, can often deal a lot of hearts with just one hit, meaning you would die too quickly without armor.
This is especially frustrating in Survival mode, as you lose your inventory there (at least, if you haven’t changed it in the settings) and spawn at your base. This means you would have to return to the area with the strong enemies to pick up your backpack – or you lose everything that is in it.
Bonus Tip: There are meals you can make at the grill to temporarily increase your health in the form of hearts. For example, grilled meat gives you +2 hearts.
