LoL: One of the easiest champions might soon become the best healer in the game

During the preseason of League of Legends, new playstyles for the champions are constantly being tested. The champion Sona has become one of the strongest champions for the support role.

What has changed? The change is an adjustment to Sona’s item build. While the champion currently has a positive win rate and is well-positioned in the list, LoL players are always looking for new options to play their champion stronger than others. The new supporter could pose a competition for Sona.

Thus, support players have come up with entirely new ideas for Sona in the meantime. The champion was played for ability power. This leads to a significant increase in her damage. However, this does not do justice to her role, and most players, around 89% (via LeagueofGraphs), start with a more traditional build for Sona.

The item Rod of Ages gives the Sona build a new twist. Although she does what she did before, she does it better now. She no longer faces the dilemma of having too little mana, and the focus is on supporting her teammates and thus directing the game.

In this video, you can see how massive League of Legends has become:

Why almost everyone can play the champion

What does the Rod of Ages do for Sona? With the item’s early stages, Sona is able to stay longer on the lane right from the beginning of the game. Her mana pool will not deplete so quickly, and she can use her abilities as soon as their cooldowns are over.

Her abilities themselves are designed to affect nearby enemies and allies.

  • Her Q ability deals damage to 2 nearby enemies, prioritizing champions.
  • The W ability heals herself, one ally, and provides a shield to all around her.
  • Her E ability increases the movement speed of allies that are within her range.

The basic abilities are very easy to play since they only work around Sona. The only challenge is her ultimate ability, where enemies are stunned in a line in front of her. This needs to be aimed and hit. With a little practice, this should not be a problem.

The rod transforms into the item “Seraph’s Embrace” at full stacks and allows Sona to restore health when she consumes mana. Additionally, the item comes with the ability that the cooldown reduction increases the more mana Sona has.

The effect of Seraph’s Embrace

All in all, this item harmonizes with the attributes Sona wants to build. Cooldown reduction is important for her, so she can cast her spells, and she needs a lot of mana to cast many spells. Additionally, her strong self-healing allows her to exert influence on the lane for a long time.

Other items that synergize well with her abilities and playstyle as a supporter are:

  • Shurelya’s Reverie
  • Glacial Augment
  • Rod of Flowing Water
  • Chemtech Putrefier
  • Riftmaker

Some of these items need to be considered in individual situations. However, they can serve as a guideline if you are unsure.

Why does this make her the strongest healer? Through the healing of her ability and the health she gains from Seraph’s Embrace, Sona is a champion who can survive on the lane for a long time. This is particularly annoying for opponents, as she always represents a potential threat.

Unfortunately, not much helps against Sona. The simplest way is through the new strong jungle strategies. It is important to focus on the bot lane and hit Sona with as much damage as possible at the same time to avoid long fights.

However, it is not always so easy on the bot lane. It is characterized by fights where you want to gradually defeat the opponents. Sona, however, disrupts the opponents’ plans here. The long fights allow for health regeneration and healing for her team.

WoW Dragonflight: “Clans of the Realms” solve – All the correct answers for the quest

Do you not know the answers for the WoW quest “Clans of the Plains”? We have all the correct answers for you so that you can proceed quickly.

Questing in World of Warcraft Dragonflight goes along quickly. However, some quests consist of a lot of “talking,” which may lead some players to skip sequences entirely or only half-listen. However, this can turn out to be a mistake because some quests expect you to have knowledge — such as the quest “Clans of the Plains”.

What kind of quest is this? About halfway through the story of the Plains of Ohn’ahra, you suddenly need to prove that you know exactly what the various clans stand for. You must speak with Sansok Khan and then explain what each clan of Ohn’ahra stands for. If you have followed the missions attentively, this is no problem — but those who only focused on “killing and looting” are out of luck.

The correct answers for Clans of the Plains

In total, you need to correctly answer 4 questions in “Clans of the Plains.” The order of the questions is always the same, and you must name one of the clans that the question pertains to each time. The correct order is:

  1. Teerai (Storytellers of the Maruuk)
  2. Ohn’ir (Connection to Ohn’ahra)
  3. Nokhud (Military Power)
  4. Shikaar (Hunters)

After that, you can complete the quest and see how the rest of the storyline unfolds — as it picks up pace from there.

Bug sometimes complicates quest

Some players also report that they are unable to complete the quest as the corresponding NPC does not appear in the village. If this is the case for you as well, it may help to leave the village and re-enter. Make sure you completely leave the village and switch to another area (this is indicated by the location text in the middle of the screen).

Did you have problems with the “Clans of the Plains”? Or could you answer the questions without any issues?

Nintendo ends Smash World Tour – Organizers lose “hundreds of thousands of dollars”

The current Smash World Tour is canceled and the events in 2023 will not take place either. The organizers and Nintendo comment on the reasons in statements. Issues with the official licensing of the event seem to have played a major role.

What is the Smash World Tour? The Smash World Tour (also SWT) is one of the largest tour events in eSports worldwide with huge prize pools. For 2023, a total prize money of over $350,000 was planned.

However, on November 29, 2022, the organizers announced on Twitter that the tour in 2023 and all events in 2022 were canceled.

One of Nintendo’s well-known characters will soon have its own movie. Here you can see the trailer for “The Super Mario Bros Movie”:

Start video
First trailer for the ‘Super Mario’ movie – completely made of CGI

What do the organizers say about it? The Twitter post refers to an official statement on the American publishing website Medium. There, the organizers explain in detail how the collaboration with Nintendo went and why the Smash World Tour was interrupted.

Regarding the surprising cancellation, they write:

Without warning, we received the message from Nintendo the night before Thanksgiving that we could no longer proceed. This was particularly shocking considering how we negotiated with Nintendo over the past twelve months. Since then, we have been working around the clock to take the right logistical steps and prepare this statement with the right legal support.

Smash World Tour via Medium

The organizers also write that they will lose “hundreds of thousands of dollars” due to the cancellation of the events.

The statement also addresses the collaboration of the esports company “Panda” (which is now conducting official Smash Bros. events) with Nintendo, and the organizers shed light on how they have been in constant communication with Nintendo regarding this matter.

What is Nintendo’s response? Nintendo has only officially commented on the matter to Kotaku so far. It states:

Unfortunately, after multiple discussions with the Smash World Tour and after a thorough review, as we do with every potential partner, we were unable to reach an agreement with SWT for a full season in 2023. Considering the negative impact on players who had already planned to participate, Nintendo has not requested any changes or the cancelation of the remaining events in 2022, including the championship event in 2022.

Nintendo spokesperson via Kotaku

Subsequently, the organizers also spoke to Kotaku and responded to Nintendo’s statement. According to their statement, they had inquired multiple times with Nintendo whether they had considered the consequences of canceling the events in 2022 and the tour in 2023, which Nintendo allegedly confirmed.

Furthermore, the organizers had received a message from Nintendo stating that a license was necessary to conduct commercial events with their games. Smash World Tour did not meet the conditions regarding health and safety regulations and violated internal partner guidelines, which is why no license would be granted to the event organizers.

The organizers contradict this and state that they had not yet submitted an application for 2023: When they asked Nintendo whether they could continue to work “without a license,” this was apparently denied.

What does the future hold for Smash Bros events? While the collaboration with the Smash World Tour organizing team has ended, Nintendo announced on Twitter on November 18, 2022, the partnership with Panda.

Together, they already held the first official licensed championship in Super Smash Bros in North America this year. It is likely that events will continue to be held with this partner in the future.

The fastest player in WoW Dragonflight reached level 70 because he crafted a hat

Just a few hours after the release of WoW Dragonflight, the first players reached the new maximum level 70. One of their tricks for achieving this so quickly: Crafting. The revamped professions in the expansion are definitely worth it.

Who is the player? Gingi is a professional player who plays for Echo, one of the best WoW guilds in the world. Echo achieved about the World First Kill in the last raid in Shadowlands. Gingi is also a multiple world champion in the Mythic Dungeon International.

The pro reached level 70 in just about 1.5 hours, as seen on his stream (via Twitch.tv). So far, no player is known to have been faster. However, Gingi was not the first, as release issues made it difficult for the player.

Almost 2.5 hours after release, the first player reached level 70, after Gingi had to deal with loading screens and missing boats. The moment when Gingi reaches level 70 is quite curious, though.

This is how Gingi reached level 70: Most of the time, Gingi plays in a group with his druid and two others. The class is incredibly fast when traveling, giving him an advantage. Plus, the group almost exclusively completes campaign quests for leveling to progress quickly.

Gingi and his group level with big pulls and some tips that we explain in more detail in our leveling guide, including the powerful guild banners. However, he gains his last experience points through crafting.

As seen in the clip, Gingi crafts several items in succession using leatherworking. The last item is a “Reinforced Covenant Cap,” a chain headpiece. This item pushes him to level 70:

Professions as a Leveling Method – How does it work?

Professions have undergone a major overhaul in Dragonflight. You can now choose specializations and allocate talent points to define your focus in crafting more precisely.

The best new feature for leveling is that you get a big chunk of experience when you craft an item for the first time or gather a resource for the first time. Gingi is taking advantage of this.

He crafts equipment sequentially, but always only one item at a time to gain the XP boost. You receive less XP per item than for a quest, but the items can be crafted much faster, especially if you can simply buy the materials from the auction house.

In the video, we show you the changes to the profession system:

Gingi went straight on to the next characters to level these as well – first a hunter, then a mage. For all of them, he used the profession trick to secure experience points quickly and easily.

Twitch: Trymacs wanted to let play ice football, Stefan Raab prevented the project – Now a lawyer explains whether that was legal

The German Twitch streamer Trymacs had planned a big event for December called “Kick auf Eis”. But now he has to change the event because Stefan Raab and his company threatened him with a hefty fine. But did Raab even have a chance of success? This is clarified by the famous “internet lawyer” Christian Solmecke in a video.

What was the problem?

Trymacs then revised the entire event and will now allow the influencers to play on a modified football field. But would Raab really have won the lawsuit? Lawyer Christian Solmecke, a specialist in internet and media law, doubts that in his video.

“A television show can essentially be copied in concept”

What exactly does Solmecke say? In the first minutes of the video, he summarizes the situation and Trymacs’ statements. The streamer explained that he did not understand where the problems were, as football on ice is difficult to protect.

Solmecke picks this up and starts to break down and explain the various trademark and patent rights.

Recommended editorial content

Link to the YouTube content

In trademark law, the lawyer finds an entry from 2009. There, Raab wanted to secure the naming rights to “Deutscher Eisfußball Pokal”. However, the application was rejected due to a lack of distinctive character.

What Raab and his company have secured are the image rights to specific logos for the event. However, the image of Trymacs is “miles away” from that, as Solmecke emphasizes.

There can also be no patent rights for the event, as patents are rights for technical innovations. That is not the case here.

What about other rights? In the end, copyright remains. However, the event must be something “never before seen”, which can be doubted in the case of playing football on ice.

Moreover, Raab interrupts the Federal Court’s ruling on broadcasting formats. According to Solmecke, it states that “a television show can essentially be copied in concept”. An abstract show concept, such as kicking on ice, does not enjoy copyright protection.

Only the presentation may not be copied, such as the lighting, special rules, or the stage design. However, according to Solmecke, it is not enough to secure an ice surface with two goals as a “special stage design”.

From the lawyer’s point of view, Trymacs only had to make a few minor adjustments for the event to take place after all.

Start video
Twitch: Who were actually the first successful streamers?

A residual risk remains

Why is the event still being changed? The event “Kick auf Eis” has now become “Der große Kick”. The broadcaster Joyn, with which the event is being organized, emphasizes that the event will have a “new game principle” but that the participants may change. How everything will work is currently unclear.

But why did they change the concept and not insist on ice football? Because there remains a residual risk.

There could be a temporary injunction shortly before the start, which would cancel the event. Even if a court later disagrees, the event must be canceled at first.

“That’s why television stations sometimes back down and say: ‘This is too risky for us, even if we are in the right'”, Solmecke says. And there is always the chance that the broadcaster might lose and then still have to pay damages.

Trymacs himself is very disappointed in his idol Stefan Raab. He had always been a big fan, but he is far from thrilled with the warning. After all, both had at least indirectly collaborated in the last Wok-WM, which Raab organized in the background:

A single outburst could destroy the probably most beautiful gaming PC in a few seconds

A gamer has showcased a beautiful gaming PC. The community jokes that the system wouldn’t survive a meltdown. After all, the entire case is made of exquisite glass.

Anyone looking to build a gaming PC has numerous options on how to design their system. Among them, the case is one of the most important components:

  • One option is to go for a very small case and have the PC virtually disappear.
  • Or you can opt for a large case to show the world what great hardware you’ve built in.

User Kumag1989 has now presented a particularly unique system. He has built his PC into a glass table. The specs and appearance are impressive. You can check out several photos and the design on reddit:

Gaming PC is built into a glass table and looks great

What exactly did he do? The gamer designed a unique build. Instead of mounting his components in a normal PC case, he crafted a table where he installed his gaming PC. The result looks spectacular.

What hardware is inside? Both the “case” and the water cooling were developed by the user himself. The remaining components are cleverly integrated within the table:

  • Case: custom-designed table
  • CPU: Intel 11900K
  • CPU Cooler: custom water cooling
  • GPU: MSI 4090 Gaming Trio
  • Mainboard: Z590 AORUS PRO AX
  • RAM: 32G Trident Z
  • Power Supply: ASUS ROG Thor 850W

Additionally, a small plant is integrated inside. The PC builder explained that it is artificial and doesn’t need regular watering. There are even genetically modified houseplants for gamers that cost quite a bit.

Some in the community are already joking that the desk would present its owner with entirely new challenges. One person says (via reddit.com): “A meltdown, and that’s the end of the glass.” The thread starter then remarked that he would have to temper his anger a bit with the new desk.

WoW: Dragon riding is so awesome, I never want to use a flying mount again – Even though I have so many

Dragon riding is so awesome that it should permanently replace flying mounts in World of Warcraft. At least that’s what MeinMMO demon Cortyn thinks and he is absolutely thrilled about the new feature in WoW.

Dragonflight has been released for about two days now and I’ve been “totally hooked”, playing at level 70 and enjoying all the content of Dragonflight that one can experience while leveling.

However, although so little time has passed, I am already completely sure of one thing: I never want to sit on a regular flying mount again.

I have spent so much time in the last 36 hours jumping off cliffs, racing through courses, and enjoying the landscapes of Dragonflight that I now have a permanent grin burned into my face.

The feel of dragon riding is just so much better than anything WoW has had up to this point.

It’s hard to describe in words and even a video can scarcely capture it. Dragon riding has to be felt, experienced personally to truly understand its appeal.

You haven’t unlocked dragon riding yet? It’s very quick to do, as we show here.

WoW dragon riding Draenei
Images, videos, and words can hardly capture how great dragon riding is.

Of course, it’s also only so great because the Dragon Isles were designed with exactly this idea in mind. Everything is a bit more spacious, the locations are larger, and you can cover longer distances in one go. But that fits because it doesn’t feel artificial, it harmonizes perfectly together.

Although I play this partially during the beta, it feels different in the live version. Maybe because it’s now “permanent” and because it’s really “my character” that can do this.

Almost 600 mounts in my collection – I would give them all up

I would definitely consider my Draenei a collector of mounts – after all, she has a proud 593 to choose from. I have been busy with her, farming some of the rarest mounts ever, which I am also a little bit proud of.

Nonetheless, I would gladly leave all these mounts behind and trade them for dragon riding without batting an eye.

WoW mounts account
Over 590 mounts – but none are as great as dragon riding.

I briefly went to “the old world” to clear an old quest from my quest log and had to sit on a regular flying mount. No more: It’s infinitely boring compared to dragon riding. After spending just a few minutes with the dragon, the flying mount feels “wrong,” boring, and uninspired.

I understand anyone who says “Meh” after the first few minutes of dragon riding and doesn’t warm up to it immediately. At first, you have little stamina, don’t quite understand the mechanics, and struggle with the dragon. Because you only advance as long as it goes downhill.

But that changes. Give the feature a little time. Participate in the various races, keep an eye out for glyphs, and start upgrading your dragon’s talents. No later than when you have about half of all talents, dragon riding is absolutely awesome.

I’ve caught myself multiple times just plunging from Valdrakken to see how far I can go and how long I can stay in the air. Now I can confidently say “infinitely” and I’m even significantly faster than with the epic mount.

Start video
WoW: Epic cinematic for Dragonflight captivates players – Fans call: “Goosebumps”

I am completely thrilled by dragon riding. Whether this will ultimately be a good thing remains to be seen. Because Blizzard is – at least for me personally – now practically obligated to take dragon riding into the future of World of Warcraft.

Because I never want to sit on a flying mount again, no matter how long and persistently I have farmed for it in recent years.

Patrick Freese from MeinMMO thinks: I was initially skeptical about dragon riding. Do I really need it? There are flying mounts with which I can fly precisely without losing power.
Fast forward to release:
I am now only level 62. Which is mainly because I want to complete all dragon races in gold time and collect all glyphs. I just can’t stop. Dragon riding just feels so … good? I call my dragon and it doesn’t just spawn out of nowhere, but comes running onto my screen from behind. Flying feels so smooth, the controls are easy to understand. Crazy. My skepticism has completely disappeared into thin air, and I am now a fan of the feature. 

And finally, one last tip: The glyphs that improve the abilities of your dragon riding … don’t look them up in the guide or have them displayed by addon. You can collect them only once on your account; after that, the unlock immediately applies to all other characters as well. Collecting these glyphs is really fun, as you are not only notified by the dragon, but also receive a buff that shows exactly how far away you are from the glyph.

The feeling of having found them all yourself is significantly better than just having “checked off a guide” – plus you’ll see a lot of the Dragon Isles and surely come across some rare mobs or treasures, and in the process become real experts in dragon riding.

How do you like dragon riding so far?

  • The overall ratings for the game are mostly negative: only 32% are positive.
  • However, the recent reviews from the last few days show a significantly better score with 58% positive ratings.

The upward trend for Battlefield began even before the new season: Season 2 already impressed more players.

What comes after the Autumn Sale 2022? Currently, there is again a special offer on Steam for Battlefield 2024. With a discount of 67%, the game costs €19.79 instead of €59.99 until December 6, 2022 at 7:00 PM.

LoL: Players find an overly strong strategy to storm the rankings – the double jungle

In League of Legends, the preseason has been running for a few weeks. It is meant to try out new mechanics and make adjustments to the player experience. Despite all the changes, the battle for the leaderboard continues. The players of LoL have developed a new strategy that will help them climb the rankings.

What kind of strategy is it? During the preseason, Riot Games made some adjustments in the jungle. This is intended to make the role more attractive for new players. However, players who have already been in the jungle have to completely readjust.

In particular, the jungle items have been overhauled. After a bug was recently discovered in these items, which is now being fixed by Riot, new strategies need to be found. The players have thought about how they can use the jungle more effectively.

They have decided to enter the game with 2 different positions that bring the “Smite” spell. If the two players coordinate their jungle item cookies precisely, they can gain a massive gold advantage. This strategy offers few opportunities to counter.

In this video, you can see how huge League of Legends has become:

Start video
A spectacular video about League of Legends has now 138 million views – Shows how huge LoL is

The excessively strong strategy for the jungle

How exactly does the tactic work? Both players take a position in the jungle. The goal is not to rethink the team’s role distribution, but to play differently in the jungle role.

The two players take turns using the advantages of the jungle. They use the summoner spell “Smite” and it works as follows:

  • The first player buys the jungle item and the second their normal starting item.
  • Once the first player has farmed 20 stacks on their jungle item, they switch to the mid lane.
  • The player from the mid lane returns to base and gets their jungle companion. They then collect 20 stacks on Smite as well.
  • Once the second player is finished, they switch again until player number 1 reaches the next milestone.
  • Then they switch again.

Through this switching, both players gain experience and gold from both the lane and the jungle. The team also then has Smite available twice and can contest neutral objectives, such as the new dragon and Baron Nashor more easily.

Here we have an excerpt from “Value247” (via YouTube):

YouTuber “Value247” shows when the jungle item should be purchased in the mid lane

What is the downside of this strategy? The major drawback of this strategy lies in finding the right players with the right champions. If either one is not suitable, it becomes very difficult to execute this tactic.

This tactic is suitable for Graves in the jungle, as he also does well in the lane. Any champion is possible for the mid lane. However, if the jungle player does not know how to behave in the mid lane and cannot play there, valuable gold and experience will be lost.

If the two players do not coordinate properly, it can also lead to significant difficulties in the mid lane. For example, no one may feel responsible for the mid lane. Or the player from the jungle insists on defeating his neutral opponents.

Both are possibilities that present a challenge for the players. However, if they can coordinate, the players will easily storm the rankings and improve their statistics.

What do you think of the new strategy? Do you want to try it out or do you stay away from it? Let us know in the comments.

What kind of quest is this? In the zone Awakening Coast on the Dragon Isles, you will find the side quest Rapid Fire Plans. You receive it at the Skyhigh Observatory. Unfortunately, after accepting the quest, it does not automatically show where you can find the required items.

We will show you here in the guide where to find the primal flame fragments and how to shape the sphere of primal flames.

Rapid Fire Plans – Locations for the Fragments

Where should you search? You accept the quest at the entrance at the coordinates 67.07, 56.56 approximately. Fly southeast from there, across the marked river on the map. You will then see an area with lava and glowing cracks ahead of you.

There, opponents like “Ash Spark” and “Magma Shaper of the Primalists” roam around. When you take them down, they have a chance to drop primal flame fragments.

Just take down the mobs there until you can collect 8 of the primal flame fragments. Once you’re done, you just need to look for the fragments in your bag and right-click. After a short casting time, you will then shape the fragments into a sphere.

A right click on the fragments shapes them into a sphere

After that, the quest is ready to be handed in, and you can return to the NPC where you accepted it.

On the Dragon Isles, you will encounter quests that may not make much sense or are hard to understand at first glance. Here at MeinMMO, we will provide you with guides in the upcoming weeks and months to make questing in WoW Dragonflight easier for you.

Pokémon GO provides important shiny update for the Hoenn Tour 2023

In the announcement for the Hoenn Tour 2023 in Pokémon GO, two Pokémon were not marked as Shiny. Trainers expressed their anger and disappointment. Now there has been an update to the announcement.

What kind of event is this? On November 29, Niantic officially announced the Hoenn Tour in Pokémon GO. It starts in February and is split into two events: One on-site in Las Vegas (USA) and a worldwide event for all players the following weekend.

This is now the third tour of this kind. In 2021, the Kanto Tour took place, and this year, the Johto Tour occurred. Highlights of these events are Shinys that appear in the game.

So now: Shiny Proto-Groudon and Shiny Proto-Kyogre

What was the problem? In the announcement of the Hoenn Tour, the Niantic team also presented the spawns and raids. As usual, Pokémon that can be caught as Shiny are marked with Shiny stars in the official graphic.

However, the new Proto-Raid battles that are active during the event lacked the marking. In the Hoenn Tour, you will encounter the Primal forms of Groudon and Kyogre for the first time worldwide. What the Proto forms of Groudon and Kyogre are about.

The absence of the markings for Groudon and Kyogre disappointed trainers. It was assumed that Niantic might be withholding the Shinys, as trainers would rush into the new raids to catch the new Pokémon (via reddit)

What’s new now: A few hours after the official announcement, trainers noticed a change on Niantic’s website (via reddit). If you now look at the official raid graphic, you will see the Shiny marking for the Proto-Raids:

Pokémon GO Shiny Proto Groudon Shiny Proto Kyogre announcement

Trainers are pleased that Niantic has confirmed the Shiny forms after all. However, at the same time, they criticize the team for allowing such mistakes to happen in such an important announcement.

What remains is a certain uncertainty. Because it is unclear whether the Protos will “revert” to the normal Groudon and Kyogre after being caught, similar to Mega Pokémon. Or, whether Proto-Kyogre and Proto-Groudon are “new” Pokémon that will remain as Shiny in the collection.

In the coming weeks, Niantic plans to announce more information regarding the Hoenn Tour. Gameplay changes are also expected and announcements about items are still pending.

It is likely that the team will also reveal more about how the Proto forms of Groudon and Kyogre work. And a similarly important question: What about Kecleon – is it finally coming?

Pokémon GO: New Promo Code brings you Mini Research with Anego – Only today

In Pokémon GO there has been a new promo code since November 27. It works for all players, but you only have a few days to redeem it.

What kind of code is this? Promo codes for Pokémon GO are often released. You can redeem these codes either in the game or on a relevant website to easily secure some gifts.

This time, however, there are no items given away, but rather the Mini Collector Challenge: Anego and a medal. The code from November 27 is:

What’s included? The unlocked mini-research can be found in your Today overview in Pokémon GO. You are to catch Anego and will receive extra candies for it. The event with the Ultra Beasts this Sunday is quite suitable for this.

If you don’t see the research immediately after entering, it may help to close and restart your app.

How long is the code valid? You can redeem it immediately, and you should do so while you can. You can only redeem it until November 30 at 11:59 PM local time. The code was originally supposed to be shared in a livestream at an inconvenient time. But apparently, Niantic listened to the trainers’ feedback and decided to release a global code that is valid for longer than 15 minutes.

How to redeem promo codes in Pokémon GO

How you redeem the codes depends on your smartphone. In Pokémon GO, the procedures between iOS and Android are slightly different. While you can redeem codes easily in the game on Android, you have to go through an external website on iOS.

On Android devices: If you are playing on an Android device, you can simply redeem promo codes in the in-game shop. You just need to scroll down until you find the “Promos” field. There, you enter the code, confirm, and the items should already move into your bag.

Promo Code

On iOS devices: On iOS devices, entering in the shop is not possible, the corresponding field does not exist at all. Instead, you need to visit Niantic’s rewards website. You can find the link here: Redeem promo code (via rewards.nianticlabs.com).

Here, you need to select your linked account and enter the code. If everything worked, you should see a corresponding notification on the website. In the game, you can check in the diary if the items have been credited to you via the code.

Community complains about CoD Warzone 2 update policy – bugs last for weeks, XP glitches only for hours

Players of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 are currently widely discussing the update policy of the Battle Royale. Many are wondering why annoying bugs can remain in the game for weeks while XP glitches can disappear within hours.

The releases of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 were extremely successful for the people at Activision Blizzard:

  • CoD MW2 had more players after release than any other premium CoD before it
  • Warzone 2 reached the threshold of 25 million players within 5 days

However, from a player’s perspective, one cannot necessarily speak of a smooth operation. Missing features at the release of CoD MW2 and issues with a “Dev Error” in Warzone 2 led to a lot of criticism.

An XP glitch has now caused the tipping point for some players. While matches in Warzone 2 keep crashing, a glitch disappears in just a few hours.

CoD Warzone 2: Lack of Communication Leads to Frustration

What’s the problem? Warzone 2 is plagued by dev errors. Matches crash and kick players out, without a chance to return to their team.

While it was annoying to simply get kicked out of a match in Warzone 1, it goes even further in Warzone 2.

There is now a nuke killstreak – it allows you to bomb the entire map. However, it requires a win streak, players must win several matches in a row.

If you get kicked out of the match while the team is hunting for the nuke, you stay out. The efforts were in vain. This happened to “Nadeshot”, a former CoD pro and founder of the e-sport organization “100 Thieves”. He gets a bit salty:

He was hunting for the nuke for 9 hours, only to get kicked out of the crucial match due to a dev error.

The criticism is now reaching a peak, as other bugs that benefit players quickly disappear from the game. This concerns a severe XP glitch in the DMZ mode. This has already been criticized and extensively mocked with memes:

While developers have increasingly explained the thoughts behind their changes in recent years, their willingness to communicate has noticeably decreased after the release of CoD MW2 and Warzone 2.

Players also understand that such glitches quickly disappear from the game. But the other issues are rarely, if ever, addressed. This currently leads to a lot of frustration… and memes.

Warzone 2 and CoD MW2 had a successful release and are working on their bugs. However, the current technical issues and the lack of information about progress are causing unrest in the community.

Twitch streamer shroud cheats in exactly the way that streamers hate – “I had to win”

The Twitch streamer and esports player Michael “shroud” Grzesiek usually plays shooters like Valorant. In his free time, he probably enjoys playing the card game Marvel Snap and has a certain ambition there as well: In a stream, he explained how he used questionable methods to achieve a victory.

Who is shroud? shroud was previously a professional in CS:GO but switched relatively early and became a full-time streamer on Twitch. With his professional background, he was vastly superior to regular players and other streamers, earning the reputation of a “human aimbot.”

shroud became known for his skill and was always considered an honest and ambitious player. He recently admitted to cheating in a game of Marvel Snap; apparently, he was immediately plagued by a guilty conscience.

It was probably an accident, but also not

How did shroud cheat? In a stream on November 28, shroud explained how he cheated to achieve a victory in the collectible card game Marvel Snap the day before by literally looking at another streamer’s cards.

shroud explained that his opponent in Marvel Snap had the abbreviation TTV in his name – which stands for Twitch.TV and indicated that the opponent was a streamer. This piqued shroud’s curiosity, and he wondered if his opponent was currently live streaming on Twitch.

shroud then watched his opponent’s stream and found that he was indeed streaming – allowing shroud to see his cards completely. However, the streamer emphasized that this was not intended:

I accidentally cheated yesterday. I admit it wasn’t really an accident. I kind of did it on purpose, but it wasn’t really intentional.

shroud quickly closed the stream after that. He was able to win the game, but he was plagued by guilt. shroud felt really bad after the incident.

I wanted to see if he was live, and he was live; I saw his hand. I should have left, dude. I should have left, but I had to win. I had to win.

However, shroud hurried to relativize the situation: The knowledge he gained in this way didn’t actually help him achieve victory in the end. He did see his opponent’s hand, but that was still pretty out of line.

Stream snipers are players who intentionally compete against streamers and gain an advantage by watching the stream simultaneously. This method is considered quite scummy and falls within the realm of cheating. It is therefore quite curious that a streamer like shroud found himself on the other side.

Twitch streamer is busy trying to survive – lets girlfriend keep playing at home for him

The German Twitch streamer Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler was not allowed to participate in the survival series “7 vs. Wild”; now he is planning his own format with “Nerd in the Dirt.” But the streamer is worried about his account in the mobile game Clash of Clans. For this, he has now developed a solution: His girlfriend should play for him.

What kind of show is this? Behind the title “Nerd in the Dirt” is a planned survival series by Trymacs: A group of gamers and streamers without survival experience tries to hike through the Finnish wilderness in temperatures as low as -30 degrees.

As an expert, the ex-soldier Otto “Bulletproof Entrepreneur” Karasch is to assist the unprepared “nerds.” He is one of the participants of the second season of 7 vs. Wild.

What is bothering Trymacs before Finland? In a stream on November 24, Trymacs reacted to an episode of 7 vs. Wild. In the episode, participant Jens “Knossi” Knossala almost burned down the jungle to light a cigarette (via Twitch).

von Dariusz Müller

While Trymacs commented that for Knossi it was only about his cigarettes, he suddenly remembers: “Speaking of addiction.” The streamer explains that his biggest worries regarding his survival trip to Finland are currently focused on his account in the mobile game Clash of Clans.

This is not a joke, Trymacs emphasizes, he has already thought a lot about it. But the streamer also has a solution ready: His girlfriend should continue to play for him in his absence and handle the daily tasks.

This is what his girlfriend should do: Trymacs describes which tasks his girlfriend should handle for him:

  • Daily star bonus
  • Night base
  • keep all five workers running
  • run the worker in the night base
  • Research
  • Take the raid medal on the weekend

But although Trymacs explains that he taught his girlfriend the essential basics, he still has one worry: “I really worry that she might forget it one day.”

His viewers have little understanding for Trymacs’s worries and laugh in the chat, but the streamer promptly defends himself.

“This is my profession!”

Why is the game important to Trymacs? Trymacs gained fame, among other things, with content on the mobile game Clash of Clans and has already invested so much money into the game that he could exert massive influence.

At the moment, however, Trymacs is hosting a free-to-play challenge with his colleague Sebo, where the aim is to see who gets further in the game without spending real money. Over the past days, Trymacs has built up a lead that he must not lose now.

Why is everyone laughing? This is really the challenge. This is the most successful format on my channel right now; this is my profession. I can’t just not play for a week, that doesn’t work.

Whether Trymacs can win the challenge with the help of his girlfriend remains to be seen. Now, however, the streamer is heading to frosty Finland first.

In addition to his survival show Nerd in the Dirt and his free-to-play challenge, Trymacs has another project in the pipeline: for December, he planned the event “Kick auf Eis,” where well-known streamers and YouTubers were supposed to play football on an ice surface.

However, the event cannot take place as planned: Twitch streamer Trymacs sells thousands of tickets for event – now his role model threatens him with fines of up to 500,000 euros
