In Counter-Strike 2 on Steam, numerous players are complaining that they have been banned despite having done nothing wrong. However, the ban is said to be a mistake, as Valve has now explained.
In the shooter Counter-Strike 2, numerous players have just received a VAC ban. This is the worst type of ban:
You cannot enter any game that supports VAC with a VAC ban.
Moreover, your Steam profile will be branded with the VAC ban.
Ban Affects Innocents, Developer Wants to Revoke the Ban
What kind of ban is this?On Reddit players are discussing the surprising ban in Counter-Strike 2. It seems to have caught numerous players using an Nvidia graphics card. Specifically, it seems to be due to a software update from Nvidia that has likely caused chaos.
The players are quite dissatisfied. Some complain that they have been banned while cheaters continue to roam freely in the game. One player writes:
That’s cool, but it would be nice if they would ban the real cheaters. I’ve never used a cheat or had a cheater in my group, and I woke up with a ban.
Others explain that Valve’s anti-cheat system must be working incredibly well if it is placing bans on so many innocent players.
How did Valve respond? The developers have already stated that it is a mistake. On Twitter they explained that they have now resolved the issue and want to revoke the VAC bans.
Valve has been struggling with false bans for several weeks
Has this happened before? Yes, a few weeks ago Counter-Strike 2 banned many players with AMD graphics cards. The ban was due to a new feature from AMD for graphics cards. However, this feature activated Valve’s VAC system. Again, the anti-cheat system imposed bans on innocent players.
In the current case, Nvidia owners have been affected. Some players are complaining that Valve has set the anti-cheat system in Counter-Strike 2 too sensitively and must urgently make some changes. It cannot be that innocent people receive a ban while real cheaters can continue playing.
In EA FC 24 Title Update 6 will be released soon. The announced Christmas update brings, among other things, a change that has been longed for by the FIFA community. We present the change and summarize the fans’ reactions for you.
What is the new feature? An important change will occur for AI-controlled pressing. According to the latest pitch notes, the opposing players should press less aggressively in the future. This affects both the wings and the center of the field.
More space in midfield and less pressure on the wings
What do the changes mean for gameplay? EA states in the pitch notes that they want to “ensure even greater tactical diversity” (via EA Sports). For example, new spaces and more passing options should open up in the center. This is expected to lead to more passing sequences in midfield.
There should be less pressure and more time for the wing players, as it has “previously been the case that too much pressure was put on this professional and the defending team positioned too high.” (via EA Sports). Now the professionals would have more space to turn and maneuver, allowing them to create new play and passing situations.
In light of these new circumstances, formations like the 4-1-2-1-2 (narrow diamond) or the 4-3-1-2 may become really interesting again. These are designed to combine with many passes through the center.
EA Sports is thus responding to the ongoing criticism of recent months and shows willingness to make adjustments to the automatic OP pressing of the AI. This new approach sounds not only promising but also pleases the community.
Fans are thrilled: “Finally I can play differently again.”
How does the community react? On Reddit, the Christmas patch has been warmly received by the majority of the community. Under the subreddit “EA Sports FC Holiday Update Patch Notes”, comments have already been flowing. Many comments celebrate the contents of the new patch.
The top comment aptly summarizes this enthusiasm: “I just saw someone kneel down in an Asda (English supermarket chain).” (via Reddit) This post is meant to express the fans’ relief that their demands have finally been heard by EA Sports.
Another comment with many likes looks optimistically towards the weekend in light of the reduced AI and is looking forward to the weekend league with its new rewards:

He writes regarding the reduced pressure on the wing players: “Thank God. For a month, I can finally play differently in FUT Champions.” This means that the previous pressing meta allowed hardly any variability in ball play. According to the patch notes, this is expected to be loosened up.
But not everyone is convinced: Some also warn against being too enthusiastic. With the reduced AI, one must be able to rely on one’s own skill in manual defense again. In this context, a user puts a damper on the enthusiasm: “I think many people believe that the reduced pressing is good for them. But it’s not.” (via Reddit).
In the end, it remains to be seen what influence the changes will have on gameplay. The patch notes at least show many good approaches. You will likely be able to try out how exactly the adjustments will affect gameplay tomorrow, Thursday, December 7, 2023. We assume that the patch will be available for download in the morning.
If it really turns out that AI presses and defends less, you will have to rely more on your own defensive skills again. If you still need some tutoring, we recommend our 5 tips for conceding fewer goals in EA FC 24.

Shortly before the release of the live-action adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho, Netflix has released a brand new trailer. After an initial teaser trailer, we can now see in the new video even more clearly how good the CGI effects look in combat. The trailer raises hopes for a good anime adaptation.
What is Yu Yu Hakusho?
The manga of Yu Yu Hakusho comes from Yoshihiro Togashi, the husband of the creator of Sailor Moon.
The associated anime aired from 1992 to 1995, concurrently with Dragon Ball Z. However, the anime is rather unknown in Germany as there is no German dubbing.
From then on, he must be active as a spirit hunter and hunt the dangerous yokai that pose a threat to humanity.
Netflix will soon launch a live-action adaptation of the anime. The release date is December 14, 2023, worldwide. The first full-fledged trailer shows that the series is not just for fans of Asian martial arts.
You can watch the new trailer here:
Start video

What can be seen in the trailer? The trailer is full of action. There are some scenes from Yusuke’s training that might especially please fans of Asian martial arts. In further fights, Yusuke then uses special powers that are animated with CGI effects.
Furthermore, some of the yokai appear in the trailer that are responsible for the destruction of entire cities. The creepy monsters have also been brought to life with special effects.
Below the video, there are a few comments on YouTube that look forward to the adaptation and find that the production team has done a good job. The scenes look cool and the Netflix series could be awesome.
However, there is concern among hardcore fans that the series could be too rushed. In the reddit forum, fans discuss that an important arc might be omitted and that the trailer makes it look like several arcs are being crammed into one season.
They write:
HarveyBirdmana: ‘Yu Yu Hakusho: Speedrun Edition. The characters and the action look mostly quite solid, but this trailer makes it seem like they are just sprinting through all the arcs.’
SSDuelist: ‘I am… slightly concerned about how compressed it all feels. […] I hope I am wrong because it looks incredible and I am more and more convinced by the cast and the actors the more I see, but it’s a very valid concern IMO.’
disablednerd: ‘I want to be optimistic, but it looks like they are rushing through the story.’
So far, it is still unknown how many episodes the first season will have. Therefore, it remains to be seen which arcs will appear in the series and which Netflix might reserve for further seasons.
The new NPC “Mateo” in Pokémon GO is expected to meet Trainers at the end of routes. However, Trainers report difficulties in encountering him. Now, some are trying tricks.
Who is Mateo? This is the new NPC in Pokémon GO with whom you can exchange gifts. He is an important part of the new event “Along the Routes”, where you can complete a special research with him.
Here’s the problem: Mateo can be found on routes in Pokémon GO, but only once a day and not guaranteed. This means: It’s possible to walk a route and simply not encounter the researcher.
This is inconvenient when you want to complete the special research with him. However, there was a similar problem before with the Zygarde cells, which did not reliably appear on the routes for all Trainers when they were searching for them.
And just like with the coveted cells, Trainers are now looking for tricks to encounter Mateo.
Mateo is part of the new season in Pokémon GO:

What tricks are Trainers testing to meet Mateo in Pokémon GO?
Currently, some Trainers are desperately searching for Mateo, as he simply does not appear for them. Thus, several Trainers in the Pokémon GO Reddit community report numerous route attempts without the researcher making an appearance.
In doing so, one should definitely keep in mind:
Mateo appears only once a day, so you don’t need to search for him multiple times a day
He is supposed to appear at the end of a route, so you need to walk it completely
And: Some Trainers report that he disappears after the route has been completed, even though he has already spawned. So be careful not to overlook him.
Trainer “Disgruntled Goat” shared in the subreddit “TheSilphRoad” that you should restart the game shortly before the end of a route if you don’t see him: “That just worked for me,” writes the Trainer (via reddit): “I reached the end of a route, no Mateo (or Zygarde cell). But after a restart, he appeared.” For him, it worked on a “loop route”, meaning a route with the same start and endpoint.
The Trainer has tried this once so far, and it worked immediately, so it is still unclear how reliable this is. In the comments and further posts in the community, players report both that it works for them, but also that it doesn’t work for others. We’ll have to wait and see how this trick develops.
Another variant was shared by Trainers in the comments as well: They refer to tapping on the arena at the end of the route, after which Mateo appeared. This is also something to try when you are nearing the end of the route. However, there are also voices here saying that it did not work for them.
What do I need Mateo for? Basically, Mateo can exchange gifts with you. The most interesting thing about this is that you can receive postcards from Trainers in completely different regions, as Mateo has them like a postman. This can help if you want to complete your Vivillon patterns.
Otherwise, you need him to complete the current special research that requires you to exchange actions with Mateo.
Do you already have a trick to meet Mateo? Do the tricks work for you? Let us know in the comments!

The MMORPG Tarisland has published the beta statistics, and apparently you particularly have it out for a small harpy. An old tree is also the most frequently defeated boss.
Why has the harpy been hunted so often? The harpy was one of the first enemies in Tarisland and widely spread in the first area. In the beta of the MMORPG, many players took the time to try out different characters. So it is not surprising that the enemy who was defeated most often comes from the starting area. The harpy has been defeated a total of 827,777 times. In the published statistics, the developers ask why everyone is bullying the fallen harpy.
Here you can see the trailer for Tarisland.

Why is the developer publishing the statistics? The statistics are certainly published for advertising purposes. With 142 years of playtime spread over all players, the two-week beta phase looks good. Impressive statistics in the beta include 1,200 defeated bosses per day and a total of 17,510 bosses in two weeks.

Here is the official post from Tarisland, with all the developer’s statistics.
The most frequently defeated boss in Tarisland is an impressive old tree
Why has the boss been defeated the most? The so-called “Ancient Tree” is the raid boss of the level 40 raid in Tarisland. He was defeated so often because the old tree was the most appealing boss for max-level players. The raid was the most meaningful for level 40 players for nearly a week because it offered the best loot.
Are there player numbers as well? The Tarisland developers have not published direct player numbers, but they have provided information about the most played classes.
“Ranger” is the most played class, it is the counterpart to the hunter from World of Warcraft and has been played 27,104 times
“Phantom Necro” is the second most popular class and a kind of necromancer with damage and healing abilities. It has been played 26,790 times.
Slightly behind with only 19,480 characters is the “Shadow Swordsman”, who is most similar to a rogue.
The class with the fewest players was the “Warrior”. The warrior class has only been played 10,970 times.
If we project the average player numbers of these 4 classes across all 10 classes, we arrive at about 210,000 characters that visited Tarisland during the beta.
What about lifeskills and professions? If you have always wondered whether players in MMORPGs really fish, the developers now have a number for you: Almost 8,000 hours have been spent fishing in Tarisland. What sounds like a lot at first only accounts for about 0.64 % of the total playtime.
In Tarisland, over 2.5 million minerals have been collected and over 2.3 million potions have been crafted, although potions were also available for silver in the shop. The most popular professions were blacksmithing, alchemy, and crafting.
Whether one can earn enough money with the professions to compete with players who equip themselves with real money in the shop is questionable. Asmongold recently went on a quest regarding the Pay2Win accusation against Tarisland and found something.

A new game on Steam brings fresh wind to the world of MMORPGs. On 12/04/2023, “The Wagadu Chronicles” launched in Early Access. The game promises interesting concepts in an unusual Afro-Fantasy setting. What exactly can you expect?
What is “The Wagadu Chronicles”?
The game is developed by “Twin Drums“, a small development studio from Berlin.
Originally, the game was funded through crowdfunding on Kickstarter, where it was able to raise over €160,000.
Additionally, the developers receive support from Riot Games, the developer of LoL. The company invests in various startups, primarily to empower underrepresented founders.
In the Early Access trailer, you can see the game for yourself:
The Wagadu Chronicles is a sandbox MMORPG where you gather resources, craft items, and found villages. Here you can see the main features at a glance:
1. Focus on Roleplaywith Pen&Paper elements
The Wagadu Chronicles places great emphasis on story and roleplay. On Kickstarter, the developer advertises that it is the first online game tailored 100% for roleplayers, from the lore to the mechanics.
With this RPG focus, the game is reminiscent of Baldur’s Gate 3, which recently demonstrated with its huge success how popular the genre currently is and what potential it holds. The game has already won an award as the “Ultimate Game of the Year.” Baldur’s Gate 3 is also a strong contender for Game of the Year at the 2023 Game Awards.
We can expect to see even more games that will be oriented around the concept of the RPG in the future.
Unlike in Baldur’s Gate 3, the roleplay in The Wagadu Chronicles is also meant to take place primarily through player interactions. For this, there is a special “Dialogue Mode” that can be opened when two or more players are chatting. Close-ups make animations and the characters’ facial expressions more visible.
To further motivate players, there are also rewards for groups that deliver particularly interesting and well-thought-out roleplay.
In the dialogue window, you can interact with your teammates.
The extensive lore of The Wagadu Chronicles is intended to be regularly expanded in the game. The developers also explain on their own website that a whole book will soon be released. This will be a “Pen & Paper” rulebook that allows adventures in Wagadu to be experienced analogously at the kitchen table.
Of course, the book also offers interesting backgrounds for pure video gamers who want to refine their online roleplay. A 300-page demo is already available for free.
Baldur’s Gate 3 takes place in the “Dungeons & Dragons” universe and is based on the fifth edition of the game.
A similar focus on worldbuilding is also supposed to be found in the new survival game “Coreborn: Nations of the Ultracore.” In an interview, we talk to the developers, including “Pen & Paper” legend Hauke Gerdes:
Although there is no direct PvP in The Wagadu Chronicles, interaction with other players is still important. In “communities,” you can team up to claim islands and build your own village. If multiple communities are interested in a building site, so-called “guardian spirits” must be convinced with gifts.
3. Player-driven economy
Players not only influence the world of The Wagadu Chronicles by building villages. The economy is also completely player-driven. Most items can only be crafted by players. The NPCs offer only the bare essentials.
Many items such as clothing or weapons can also be customized individually in an editor. With the right sense of fashion, you might even become a little designer and sell your creations.
4. Free class system
In the MMORPG, there are no fixed classes. You can freely develop the skills that are most important to you. This applies to combat skills as well as various professions like farmer or fisherman.
A special feature is that players automatically receive experience points every day. Thus, no grind is needed to progress. This way, players of peaceful professions such as traveling merchants or tailors can level up just as quickly as a warrior.
5. Turn-based combat system
Rather uncharacteristic of the genre, the game relies on a turn-based combat system. With its hexagon fields, it is reminiscent of strategy classics like Civilization.
The combat itself is divided into movement and action phases. Here, D&D players or fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 are likely to feel right at home.
In pure PvE combat, it is crucial to coordinate a good strategy with up to 11 friends.
The turn-based combat system requires strategic planning.
6. Afro-Fantasy setting
Last but not least, the game comes with a very special setting. The game world resembles the African savannah; the characters have dark skin and wear traditional garments. Combined with a touch of fantasy, this creates a unique setting in the genre.
The developers describe their approach as “What if Tolkien had been black?”.
Inspired by African mythologies and traditions, there are seven different fantastic races in the world of The Wagadu Chronicles. For example, the Asiman are powerful elemental mages and alchemists, inspired by African desert dwellers. The Ikaki, on the other hand, are fish people representing the inhabitants of Central Africa.
As a community, you establish your own village.
How the game is received
The game is praised mainly for its role-playing elements and fresh approaches.
“The focus is on expressing yourself and building a community,” writes a user on Steam. “The game encourages you to actually play a character instead of being a standard MMORPG,” another user adds.
“The vibe I get is a relaxed feeling. I can progress at my own pace and let myself fall into the world.”
The quests and crafting mechanics also seem to convince.
What’s not so good? Despite the already good ideas, the game is still very fresh in Early Access.
Players report that there are frequent bugs and glitches. Mechanics aren’t always intuitive, the options are still quite limited, and the game pace is a bit too slow.
One user summarizes: “You can tell that the game is in Early Access. Although it still has its rough edges, the game is definitely fun and the current problems can be fixed in the future.”
Another hope on the MMORPG horizon is the Oldschool-inspired “Ravendawn.” The game is set to be released in 2024, but you can already test it:
MeinMMO demon Cortyn is taking a stand against Warcraft Rumble from Blizzard. After a good start, it quickly becomes clear: It screams Pay2Win.
A little over a month has passed since the mobile game “Warcraft Rumble” was officially released. I’ve been playing diligently – some days a lot more, some a little less. But I logged in every single day and completed at least the dailies or contributed to the guild’s progress.
However, in these four weeks, it has become clear to me that I have to retract some of my original statements. In my first review of the game, I dismissed PvP as not particularly tactical – that is definitely not the case. It is extremely tactical and quite demanding.
Unfortunately, I also have to retract another statement, because in recent weeks it has become clear to me: Warcraft Rumble is heavily Pay2Win in PvP.
Start video
Warcraft Rumble: Cinematic for the Game Launch
Especially the first matches feel good. Everything seems to come down to actual decisions in the game. Which minis did you bring? How do you counter the minis your opponent uses? Do you make the first move yourself, or do you try to outsmart your opponent only by reacting? Do you have minis that can secure the treasure chests immediately?
But as soon as you start climbing the ranks a bit, that changes. Because the better your rating, the more players you encounter who either had extreme luck with their minis or who just “went all in”.
Because the crucial element here is the talents. You can equip every mini with a talent – but only after you have upgraded it for the first time. There is a larger selection of talents when you make further upgrades – but that costs a lot of gold. And gold is the limited resource you can only earn to a certain extent per week, no matter how much you play. Alternatively, you can buy gold endlessly in the shop.
To illustrate this with an example: A Sylvanas without talent deals damage to a single target and leaves behind a banshee upon death that takes over an enemy mini. But a talent turns Sylvanas’s shots into an area attack that hits all minis in a row – this way, the opponent’s Sylvanas can wipe out entire groups.
It’s significantly simpler with other minis. The “Murloc tide hunters” always appear in pairs. But with one talent, you summon not 2, but 3 murlocs upon purchase.
In other words: In this case, a mini with a talent is simply 50% stronger than a mini without a talent.
Many minis are important – but in PvP, you need talents to progress.
Anyone who has a large selection of talents can only have achieved that at this point through the use of a lot of real money – it’s mathematically impossible any other way, as gold gain is strictly limited. In a battle between “normal” minis and minis with talents, the minis with talents will almost always win.
And that is unfortunately the definition of Pay2Win.
Solving the problem would be quite simple, because: Blizzard could completely disable talents in PvP or unlock all talents in PvP.
Then it would be a fair, largely skill-based PvP system. Not doing that is, however, a conscious decision. Because those who spend money should feel good.
FOMO and the “great feeling” of being allowed to buy something
Especially irritating is the type of monetization that has been chosen for Warcraft Rumble. There are indeed some “good” offers – such as the one-time, permanent boost on all gold earnings. You invest 20 euros and then have this boost for life. Some may roll their eyes at this, but I can still overlook that – especially since you also receive all the bonus gold retroactively if you finalize this deal later.
However, the numerous limited-time offers that the game constantly throws at you are worse. Not only are there weekly offers, but also those that you unlock during gameplay.
For example, when you complete the area “Darkshore,” you unlock a special package in the shop. Yes, compared to the other offers, this package has a really solid value – but it also has a time limit. Because after “unlocking” these offers, you only have 2-3 days to buy it.
The same applies in PvP, by the way. As soon as you reach a new rank, a new offer appears in the shop to “celebrate” it.
That simply feels wrong. The “big reward” after completing an area is that you can buy a “great” package in the shop.
As if that weren’t annoying enough, these packages are also getting increasingly expensive, making it obvious that initially “bait offers” are made that then increase in price. Because where the “reward package” initially costs 5 euros, the costs for the next packages already rise to 7 euros, then to 10 euros, and probably even higher – I haven’t even checked the last ones.
This reminds me of the darkest offers from Diablo Immortal, only that here you don’t make absurd promises like “600% value,” but instead call it “legendary offer” or “epic offer.”
Here, they simply try to trigger FOMO in players, based on the motto: If I don’t buy this now, maybe I will never be able to get important resources as easily again!
I want to emphasize clearly: I still enjoy Warcraft Rumble. Sometimes finishing a dungeon run in 15 minutes or slowly working through the heroic campaign while completing the daily quests for hefty XP boosts still feels good. I still play it every day.
But the entire PvP aspect of the game has continued to lose importance for me, and that is frustrating, as in the long run that should be the only motivation left after the campaign.
In the end, it really comes down to who has the better talents and the higher upgrade level for their minis in Warcraft Rumble. And ultimately, unfortunately, that is determined mainly by one thing: the wallet.
It’s a shame, Blizzard. Really a shame.

How does the community react to the comparisons? The community’s reaction to the comparisons of real situations in the trailer for GTA 6 is mostly positive. Most find the allusions humorous and appreciate Rockstar Games’ meticulous attention to detail.
Fans particularly praise the developer’s ability to weave real events humorously into the game. We have summarized a few Reddit comments for you:
Prestigious_Plant_81 writes: “Now I sort of wish I were a crazy man from Florida so I could have made it into GTA 6.”
Mono_KS writes: “Florida is like mixing the trashiest parts of American scenery and cities, adding a little glitter, and throwing in a few alligators for good measure. Basically the perfect GTA world.”
amir_s89 writes: “What!? All these things actually happened? Crazy!”

The premature release of the GTA 6 trailer by Rockstar Games has not only exceeded the planned timeline but also the expectations of the gaming community.
With a visual homage to the sun-kissed Vice City and clever allusions to actual events in Florida, the trailer has generated enthusiastic reactions.
Microsoft has distributed an update for Windows 11 , but now players are complaining about performance issues. There is actually a fix that can help somewhat mitigate these problems.The second option is to simply uninstall the troublesome update.
As reported by the colleagues at Techradar, Microsoft has rolled out the 23H2 update for Windows 11. However, along with the update, there seem to be frustrating issues. According to various sources, this primarily affects players with an AMD processor.
With the command line, you should be able to resolve the performance loss issue. The culprit seems to be the Windows Defender, which you should reset. MeinMMO will explain how to do this.
It helps to reset the Windows Defender using the command line
How severe is the performance loss? The issues are mainly related to processor performance. A user on reddit writes that every processor thread works 5-8% slower. In some games, strong stuttering occurs, making them unplayable.
Depending on the game, the 23H2 update can thus have a significant impact on your gaming performance.
How to solve the problem: Microsoft’s official solution proposal is to reset the Windows Defender. You can do this through PowerShell. To open it, press Windows key + X and then click on “Windows PowerShell (Administrator).”
After starting PowerShell, execute the following two commands and confirm each entry with the Enter key:
With the second command, you reset the Windows Defender and restart your computer.
In a further step, you should check in your BIOS whether CPU virtualization is enabled. It’s best to check your motherboard manual, as every BIOS is structured differently. Ideally, the function is already enabled, so you won’t need to do anything further.
Once you have restarted the system, open the “Windows Security” menu and select “Device Security.” Here, look for the option “Core isolation memory integrity” in the bar and enable it. After that, you’ll need to restart your computer again.
What is the alternative? If all this effort is too much or the process too cumbersome, there is another, quicker way: uninstall the 23H2 update and revert to version 22H2. Then the performance issues should disappear on their own.
However, be aware that you’ll need to disable automatic updates, otherwise Windows will reinstall the update and you’ll face the same problems again.

On the night of December 4th to 5th, Rockstar dropped the trailer for GTA 6, after leakers posted it online. This is how the community reacted in the first hours after its release.
Just after midnight on December 5th, Rockstar Games released the first trailer for GTA 6 on YouTube. Originally, it was supposed to be released at 3:00 PM. However, since the trailer leaked, the developer decided to post the official trailer online earlier.

The trailer for GTA 6 is getting a hell of a response – this is how the community reacted
As soon as the trailer went online, the first hyped reactions from users started flooding in:
Bander Gaming via Youtube:The attention to detail in the environment is insane! From busy urban areas to tranquil landscapes – it looks like the map is going to be incredibly diverse. Rockstar, you’ve set the bar high!
IdkSamad via X.com:Oh man, the trailer feels so damn real. 2025 is not that far away.
anikmcz5652 via Youtube:One thing that stands out to me is how full the streets are and the attention to detail in the environment is crazy! From busy urban areas to tranquil landscapes, it looks like the map will be incredibly diverse.
“Vice City, oh how I’ve missed you. What a trailer. They really captured the vibe of the original. Incredible (via Reddit).”
StarryBarry_ via X.com: This is the biggest hype ever and [Rockstar Games] still manages to excite us!
arifarif-df9uo via Youtube:[…] These 10 years of waiting were totally worth it, I can’t believe it’s finally happening!
marfuton via Youtube:I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. Seeing this takes me back to my childhood.
The majority of the community seems absolutely hyped about the trailer. Many, however, also express disappointment that the release was announced for 2025. Other users, however, state that they have already waited 10 years, so they can wait a bit longer.

And of course, there was the first user who asked about the next Rockstar game: Is there anything new about GTA 7? (@RubberNinja via X.com)

WoW: Guardians of the Dream – Launch Trailer
What is this event? In World of Warcraft, there are small mini-events every week that are intended to encourage players to try out certain types of content. From December 6, 2023, to December 12, 2023, it is the “Dungeon Event”. Here, the final bosses in normal, heroic, and mythic dungeons drop an additional reward.
The really interesting thing for most is the weekly quest that comes with it. Because in Valdrakken, you can accept a quest from the NPC Kazra at the big fountain, for which you need to complete 4 dungeons on mythic difficulty. Alternatively, you can accept the quest directly through your adventure guide.
What dungeons must you complete? The dungeons must be from the current content. The options include:
The 8 dungeons from Dragonflight on Mythic.
The 8 dungeons of the current season on Mythic+.
If someone just wants to quickly grab the reward chest, they can simply complete 4 dungeons on “Mythic 0,” which is the normal mythic difficulty. However, if you also want to do something for the weekly cache, you might as well go directly for “Mythic+” dungeons – that way, you kill two birds with one stone.
What rewards are there? The reward chest for completing the quest contains an item from the heroic version of the current raid “Amirdrassil, Hope of the Dream.” This means that the item has a minimum item level of 467 – but in the best case, it can even be 483.
Which item you get from the raid loot is left to chance.
The quest should still be worthwhile for most main characters to have an additional chance at particularly rare items. It is equally interesting for alts to get a significant item level boost directly.
On December 5, Update 2.1 was introduced in Cyberpunk 2077 and provides an insight into the new content in the trailer. Now you can ride a subway through Night City, hold races, and listen to the radio on the go. But the romances also get a fresh breeze.
Players were quite pleased with the successful Update 2.0 and requested a live-action adaptation on Reddit, which has now even been announced.
On December 5, Update 2.1 was introduced in Cyberpunk 2077, and a day earlier, a trailer was released on YouTube presenting the new features. This was exactly at the moment when many people were busy waiting for the new trailer for GTA 6, which came earlier than planned.
The trailer for the update shows new features for Cyberpunk 2077: Now you can not only listen to the radio on the go or ride the subway through Night City but also participate in car races.
Here you see the new trailer for the new features of Update 2.1 in Cyberpunk 2077:

Fast car races, motorcycle stunts, and new dates
What does the trailer show? In the trailer, you get an insight into the new content that has been introduced with Update 2.1 in Cyberpunk 2077. The video starts relatively calmly – we see Night City and hear the character “V” asking, “Ok, what do we have here?” as she selects a track on her radio. Then the music starts.
V walks to the rock music and then wonders, “Hm, where do I go to have a good time?” She boards the subway, which is now available in Night City. On the way, she admires the beautiful view. In the next scene, you see Johnny Silverhand standing next to a racing car.
Then V is sitting in the racing car and says, “This should be fun.” The scene switches to a moving motorcycle, and you hear V again saying, “Alright, let’s go!” In the following seconds, you get a glimpse of moments that V spends with other characters in Cyberpunk 2077.
“That wasn’t all” V notes as the video transitions to fast scenes showcasing a boss fight, motorcycle stunts, and the subway in quick succession to the music. Finally, an overview of the new content is displayed.
These features are being introduced with Update 2.1 in Cyberpunk 2077:
Subway
new (romantic) dates with NPCs
Radio port
New vehicles
improved vehicle combat
new motorcycle stunts
repeatable car races
improved boss fights
What do fans say about the trailer? The trailer was uploaded on December 4 on YouTube and currently (December 5, 9 PM) has over 4,700 comments. Many users express their admiration for the content there.
“shiny1457” writes: “You make me want to play the game again with every tiny update.” and receives over 6,000 likes. “uctghoul766” comments: “This world keeps growing, and I love every single second of it. I can’t say how exciting these updates are.”
And “Brainflayer” writes in a comment: “PLEASE CDPR, don’t stop giving us more Cyberpunk content.” Other users also praise CD Projekt Red for the work they put into the game and for “still caring for their games and the fans.”
What fans have recently also praised about Cyberpunk 2077 are the nightclubs there. Especially when comparing them to the clubs in Starfield:
“Where Winds Meet” is a Chinese action RPG with an unusual twist. In addition to sword fighting, you should also be able to engage in everyday jobs. The RPG looks like a Kung Fu movie and resembles Ghost of Tsushima.
What kind of game is this? “Where Winds Meet” is a Chinese action RPG that resembles Ghost of Tsushima. The game is set in the ancient Wuxia universe. Your character uses classic Chinese martial arts techniques while moving through the open world. We have already reported on the more detailed backgrounds of the game here.
What do the fights in “Where Winds Meet” look like? Sword fighting is the most important gameplay element of “Where Winds Meet”. You can counter enemy attacks and reflect them using Tai Chi. You should also be able to learn techniques from other martial schools. On the game’s website, it says that you can sneak into other schools and learn their techniques.
Your character is able to jump over roofs, climb walls, and perform other acrobatic feats. Watching feels like being in a Kung Fu movie.
In addition to melee techniques, you can also incorporate ranged weapons into your combat style. In combat, you will encounter not only human opponents but also various wild animals and supernatural creatures.
Here you can watch the new trailer.

Where Winds Meet 5 Minutes Gameplay Trailer
The trailer for “Where Winds Meet” promises action like in a Kung Fu movie
What can be seen in the trailer? The trailer introduces you to the story of the game, but also shows gameplay elements and video sequences from the game. In a cutscene, the protagonist rescues a woman and must then prove himself against her guardians.
In the trailer, not only is Tai Chi used, but also supernatural abilities. In one scene, the protagonist disarms an opponent using supernatural powers. In another scene, a heavy opponent is thrown. Watching feels like watching a Kung Fu movie.
The trailer shows many story elements, as well as the beauty of the game. The world feels alive and colorful. Fans of Wuxia games are likely to find this very appealing.
What about the jobs? In “Where Winds Meet”, you should also be able to take on everyday jobs. Previously, the developers revealed in an interview with IGN that jobs can also be used online to interact with other players.
However, nothing about everyday jobs is shown in the new trailer. Only some live skills are displayed. Whether this feature has been removed remains to be seen.
Why is there a trailer? The trailer serves to announce a beta, which is probably intended only for the Chinese-speaking area. On the game’s website, there is also a registration in English, but the news about the beta is not translated. Whether you can also play the beta, which starts on December 15, 2023, in Germany remains questionable.
On December 6th, the first season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will start. It also brings a fresh start for Warzone. What this means for your hard-earned stats, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
But there will not only be changes regarding the map, because: All your stats will be reset in Warzone with the start of Season 1. What this is all about, we will reveal to you here.
You can watch Urzikstan in the trailer here:

“Those who still want to brag should take screenshots”
Which stats will be reset? On December 5th, the developer Raven Software writes on X (formerly Twitter) that Warzone will start the season with a “fresh combat record”, but specifies nothing exact in the post.
Thus, we assume that all stats that can be viewed in Warzone are meant:
Playtime
Games played
Average kills per game
Points per minute
KD (kill-death ratio)
Placements
Best weapons
Best finish (per squad size)
In the post, Raven Software writes:
Season 1 of Call of Duty: #Warzone will start with a new combat record that will directly display the stats for battle royale.
Visible stats for resurgence and loot cash will appear in later seasons.
Please note that tracking stats for all modes will start with the beginning of Season 1 and will be displayed retroactively when the mode-specific combat records go online.
If you currently have a combat record that you like to brag about, then take a screenshot of it now, because it will only be available for a few more days!
How are the fans reacting? Reactions are quite mixed. Some welcome the reset of stats, others mourn their KDs and wins. Below, we have summarized a few opinions from the community for you, from various posts on X that we link to:
“midWinter” via X: “I love it. Thanks for the communication @RavenSoftware”
“Reece_C” via X: “More games should do this. Now I will actually get the game since they reset the combat record.”
“J007tv” via X: “Good. It only counted about 1/3 of my kills and deaths in the last months. That stuff was broken.”
“billy james” via X: “W [Win]. It’s basically a new game.”
“Augvsto” via X: “W [Win], as my Warzone 2 stats were limited and not great because of the [bad] movements.”
“PBandzOfficial” via X: “So my 2 KD will be deleted? Wow.”
One user adds in a post on Reddit, which addressed the topic on December 5th: “If you are good, the stats will be better when they are reset, as you (probably) have improved over time. Also, stats are not important, just play to have fun.”
Why are the stats being reset?According to Dexerto, this is related to the integration of Warzone into CoD: MW3 and represents a fresh start. This way, the movements from MW3 should also play a role in Warzone, thereby replacing the outdated mechanics from MW2.
With the onset of Season 1 in CoD: MW3 and Warzone, not only new content comes – a popular mode is supposed to be no longer supported soon. Although it will not be completely scrapped, but rather left to its current state:
The well-known Twitch streamer Papaplatte was contacted by the Make-A-Wish organization and fulfills a heartfelt wish for a seriously ill fan. In one of his recent livestreams, he talks about this moving day.
Who is Papaplatte? Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller, 27 years old, is one of the most famous German streamers and content creators in the gaming sector. Through his authentic and humorous style, he has gained a loyal fanbase on platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.
Likewise, the Friendly Fire event is a highlight each year for many and fulfills the wishes of numerous people:

In a previous event, Papaplatte joined forces with his community on Twitch to participate in a treasure hunt organized by moderators Joko and Klaas to win 1 million euros. Live on Twitch, he puzzled together with his community, and the outcome was that one of his viewers is now in possession of a considerable fortune.
Now, Papaplatte has been contacted by the Make-A-Wish organization to fulfill a sick fan’s heartfelt wish.
“He could wish for anything, but he chose you.”
What did the viewer wish for? In the stream, he initially did not reveal why he was at Phantasialand, only saying that there was a special person who was the reason for it. When the chat jokingly speculated whether it was Merkel or Obama, he finally revealed the secret. The streamer had received an invitation from Make-A-Wish, which he spontaneously accepted.
The organization is dedicated to fulfilling the heartfelt wishes of seriously ill children and teenagers to bring them joy, hope, and strength. Papaplatte reported on the ill viewer, who is only 17 years old.
Despite the chat’s curiosity, Papaplatte initially did not want to go into detail. He emphasized that this day should be solely about the special person, as it was their wish to spend a day with him.
However, he revealed at least a few small moments from this special day. The young fan apparently knew every detail from Kevin’s streams and was overjoyed to spend time with not only his idol but also with his friends.
As Papaplatte shared these touching moments in the stream, a chat comment pointed out: “You have to imagine, he could wish for anything, but he chose you. Of course, he knows everything about you.”
When asked in the chat if he had done this for free, Kevin initially joked about a “big paycheck.” Later, however, he revealed that he did it out of conviction and without financial interests, seeing it as a “cool” gesture.
How did Kevin feel on that day? In the next segment, Papaplatte reported that he was not feeling well that day. Despite having only five hours of sleep, he took advantage of the Phantasialand tickets that allowed him to visit certain attractions without waiting times. However, he felt continuously unwell afterwards.
Nonetheless, his discomfort provided the opportunity to sit down quietly with the ill viewer and talk. Details about the fan’s illness were not elaborated upon.
In Destiny 2 geht es heute tiefer in Rivens Versteck, denn noch sind nicht alle Eier in Sicherheit. Allerdings fragen sich die Hüter, was dieser Deal mit dem Wunschdrachen für einen versteckten Preis hat. Auch Krähe, Mara Sovs Bruder, hat schon seltsame Wunschgedanken geäußert. MeinMMO nimmt euch mit in Woche 2 und sagt, was euch dort alles erwartet.
This week: In this season of the wish, Mara gets in touch with the guardians every week when she has new information. After today’s reset, the story quest All Best Wishes continues.
The key to the bleached heart of the Traveler, the objective of the DLC The Final Form, cannot be extracted. It must be surrendered.
The soul of Riven is able to open this path to the guardians with the last 15th wish. In return, the wish dragon demands that we save her eggs, which lie deep under the dreaming city. Because she wants to ensure the survival of her species.
Other NPCs in season 23 have strange thoughts because such a last wish could ultimately undo Crow’s greatest mistake. The price for that is just the destruction of the universe.
Additionally, you can dive into the free Iron Banner event, which now offers bananas.

Caution is advised, as the other guardians won’t be the only ones guarding these high-value tribute stations. Caiatl will also be watching you and sending her units onto the field.

Some resourceful users on Reddit have revealed a secret that the production of the third season of 7 vs. Wild probably wanted to keep hidden.A participant spot is said to have been only 400 meters away from a resort hotel.
What’s the deal with the distance to the hotel? A thread is currently going viral in the largest subreddit for 7 vs. Wild. There, pictures and evidence are being gathered to show that the wildcard winners, Ann-Kathrin “Affe auf Bike” Bendixen and Hannah Assil, were only 400 meters away from a dock of a resort hotel.
Reddit users back their theory with screenshots from the show and additional information.

Here is the Reddit thread where the evidence is collected.
Viewers Gather Evidence
What kind of evidence have the viewers found? The hotel resort itself has published a map on their website showing the drop-off locations of the participants. There, the resort is located about between the teams Affe auf Bike and Hannah, as well as Knossi and Sascha.
However, on a map of the drop-off locations, as shown in episode 1 on YouTube, the island is not visible. Some viewers therefore suspect that the island may have been photoshopped out to hide its proximity to civilization.
Efficient-State-3355 comments: “I also find it interesting that the overview graphic of 7 vs. Wild does not show the island with the resort at all. The similarly sized Pine Island further north is included, though. Perhaps this could also simply be an error in the graphic creation, as Malei Island is also missing in the standard view of Google Maps and is only visible in satellite view.”
One of the participants of the third season is Twitch streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla. You can see more about him in our video.
Start video

Estimated less than 400 meters direct line to the hotel
What other clues have the fans found? Some viewers have also noticed that in shots of Affe auf Bike, a boat dock is visible in the background.
In other “evidence photos,” Reddit users compared images from the making-of and the main series with images of the resort and pictures from Google. They claim to have established that the drop-off location of the team must have been within sight of the hotel resort.
According to our own research, the aforementioned dock, which belongs to the resort, is less than 400 meters away in a direct line from the shown drop-off point of the team.
Is there already a statement from the participants or the production? So far, there is no statement from participants or production. Whether the clues are true remains to be seen. You can find the entire thread with the evidence here.
chilluminate68: “It’s all just an embarrassing marketing construct.”
Godzilla-9651: “This is just a game and not a real survival situation.”
Hanoverview: “I have to say it, it’s becoming more and more like Hartz4-TV.”
IntrovertedPerson22: “It’s all just a joke, let the child die already.”
However, there are also viewers with a different opinion:
cHpiranha: “I don’t think it changes much for the participants. You see it, but since it’s not relevant to you, you just block it out. […] It’s like a power pole in the forest.”
Yallneedjesuschrist: “Sometimes I wonder why people watch the series when they say such things about it? And it was clear from the beginning that it’s not a documentary, but just entertainment, right?”
Juritoke: “They can’t help the proximity to the dock. I would find it absurd to see their performance diminished because of that.”
Some users wish for season 1 back, where participants were dropped off at a lake in Sweden without much hassle. Recently, Papaplatte criticized the production. According to him, the participants were not informed about a possible danger.
