Just before the launch, there is more and more new information about WoW Dragonflight, but there is also news to report not only from Blizzard’s MMORPG. What happened this week, you can find out here at MeinMMO in the MMORPG week review.
Black Desert Online is getting a new class, in fact, even two. The “Twin Classes” are coming simultaneously and will be unique for both the PC and mobile version of the MMORPG (via massivelyop).
Lost Ark is still working on the ongoing server issues. For over a week there have been constant disconnections. An initial fix came from the developers, but it could not change anything (via mmorpg.com).
The next expansion for the MMORPG evergreen EverQuest is called Night of Shadows and will be released on December 6 (via mmorpg.com).
Mortal Online 2 banned hundreds of accounts for using an exploit to avoid the game’s full-loot system (via massivelyop).
Tower of Fantasy introduces a new area and new challenges with its update 2.1 (via massivelyop).
Metin 2 is getting a battle pass 18 years after its release with the next update (via gameforge.com).

Controversial MMORPG gets another mobile version – tests starting in December
What happened with MMORPGs in development?
The autoplay MMORPG MIR 4 focuses on cryptocurrency and is generally considered controversial. Now, a new offshoot of the game with a similar concept, MIR M, is being released, completely optimized for iOS and Android. The first beta tests will start on December 8 (via mirmglobal.com).
Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is also bringing new tests in December. The PvE MMORPG will start its pre-alpha tests on December 3 (via massivelyop).
The MMORPG publisher Kakao Games has had little luck with its new sci-fi shooter Dysterra. Shortly after entering early access, the game must already perform a rollback due to too many cheaters (via massivelyop).
These were the MMORPG news of the week in overview. What was your highlight? Did you experience something exciting this week that you would like to tell us? Or did we perhaps forget something important? Feel free to write it to us in the comments here at MeinMMO.
The release of WoW Dragonflight is coming soon. To prepare, we spoke with Doctorio, a well-known figure in the German Twitch community when it comes to WoW. We asked the expert some questions about the new class, the expansion in general, and asked him for tips for players.
Who is the streamer? Doctorio is a Twitch streamer and WoW expert. In the German community, he ranks 4th among the largest WoW streamers by viewer hours over the past 365 days (via sullygnome). He streams almost daily on his Twitch channel.
Doctorio is known primarily for his deep expertise with all classes and the gameplay of WoW. Many of his fans appreciate his advice and insights on balancing or seek tips for better gameplay from him.
The Twitch streamer is also part of the German e-sports organization Aversion, which is both the best German WoW guild and one of the best in the world. We previously spoke with the head of Aversion and asked how professionals actually prepare for raids.
In the conversation with Doctorio, the expert reveals his assessment of the new class of the Dracthyr Evoker, what will occupy him the most in the expansion, and what tips he has for you.
WoW shows the main features of Dragonflight in the gameplay trailer, fans praise: “Finally hype again”
“I prepare by not preparing”
MeinMMO: In comparison to previous expansions, how would you rate Dragonflight just before release? Feel free to compare it to other addons.
Doctorio: Very hard to say. The essence of an expansion only becomes clear with later patches, once the teething problems of the still very young new talent system are resolved, and new innovations, such as more exciting tier sets, new raid item mechanics, and more, determine the meta.
MeinMMO: How are you preparing for Dragonflight?
Doctorio: By not preparing. As an intensive player, you quickly face the problem of having played through all the content too quickly. Then you rely on alternate characters. But those are also accelerated through the built-in catch-up mechanics for players who generally have less time.
Of course, you could already play through every quest, every achievement, every dungeon, and every secret on the beta. But that ruins your motivation for the coming months.
Cross-faction “will give a healthy boost in the right direction”
MeinMMO: What new feature do you celebrate the most and why?
Doctorio: Changes that keep the game alive in the long term are always more interesting than acute features. Sure, new tier sets or dragon riding are exciting, but really meaningful features are the merged auction houses and the current efforts to blur the lines between Alliance and Horde.
Both factions can already enter dungeons and raids together. And soon, joint guilds should also be possible. This will give a healthy boost in the right direction.
MeinMMO: What will occupy you the most in Dragonflight?
Doctorio: Writing WeakAuren for all 38 specializations. These packages are popular in the community and offer me the opportunity to engage more deeply with all classes to stay up to date. Outside of streams, this is by far the biggest task and occupies me the most.
For clarification: WeakAuras is an addon for World of Warcraft that simplifies many game controls or provides information. You can find out more in our list of the best addons for World of Warcraft.
MeinMMO: Which features should Blizzard definitely expand in the future and which should be phased out?
Doctorio: That’s a very good question. I would refer to the features we discussed earlier: Accessibility for returning players and better integration between Alliance and Horde. Any measures that secure player numbers for the coming years are important for the game.
The further the game develops in a complicated direction, the higher the likelihood that beloved WoW will end up like WildStar. This MMO [WildStar] has become so deep and elitist that newcomers lost all sense of direction and were very demotivated to quit. The top end of players had a lot of fun, but due to a lack of players, the servers were eventually shut down.
That’s the very big drawback when a game is overly complicated just to satisfy the top 1% of players. And no one wishes for that scenario. Therefore, I would answer here: Features that change or complicate the game too much should be phased out. This includes:
Cleansing of class abilities to Shadowlands: Many classes have unnecessary or unused spells that remain in the spellbook only for reasons of class identity.
Highly intrusive tier sets: By Season 3, many classes received very drastic tier sets. Tier sets can be very fun and also end up providing a task to farm something for the class that offers a boost in strength. However, small rewards or passive improvements are sufficient. Just like it is with the current tier sets in Dragonflight Season 1.
Media:Conduits (media) were an exciting thing for many. Good players quickly recognized the value of conduits and adapted their playstyle accordingly. Or also soulbind abilities. Example: Korayn’s “First Strike.” Regular players underestimated the strength of soulbinds and conduits and merely copied the meta without adapting their rotation.
Currently, Blizzard has adopted many of these abilities into the new talent system. Although it may seem daunting at first, the new system is very good. It consolidates many abilities from past content (artifacts, legendaries, conduits, soulbinds, talents) into the class itself.
Many specs have anchored these essential mechanics in their kit, instead of having to rely on external strength – i.e. borrowed power. This talent set can be easily expanded with additional points with the next addon, and you work with a framework that is already very familiar and does not require learning much from scratch.
This rewards dedicated players who know every aspect of their talent tree and can now build even more connections. At the same time, it is not too intimidating for returning players who are already familiar with the talent tree from the beginning of Dragonflight. I think this is also Blizzard’s core idea, which is why they present Dragonflight as the third era of WoW. Very long-term thinking, and that’s a good thing.
“Don’t waste too much time on just one class”
MeinMMO: What is your assessment of the Evoker as a “mid-range class”?
Doctorio: There are three possibilities:
Blizzard designs bosses with strong consideration for the mid-range of the Evoker. However, that means they heavily restrict themselves regarding the variety of mechanics that require group positioning. Sludgefist as an example. A boss with similar positioning demands for the raid is less likely to be developed.
They design the bosses according to usual guidelines and trust that the Evoker – and the entire guild – will dynamically respond to any situation. That would be interesting but thankless.
What I find unlikely: They make Evokers into a full ranged character with a 40-yard range and avoid many unique problems.
MeinMMO: If you had to give someone 3 tips who hasn’t played since Legion and now wants to start Dragonflight, what would they be?
Doctorio: The most important tip: Don’t be afraid of leveling. It has become very easy and quick, and the reward is the highest one you can get in the game: character levels that do not lose their value.
Tip 2: Don’t waste too much time on just one class. The game is very good at throwing players small breadcrumbs after essential weekly tasks that they may want to fulfill for perfectionist reasons. Like farming rares all evening for just 5% more reputation.
Tip 3: Build on tips 1 and 2: By leveling several characters and not wasting unnecessary time on just one class, you maintain all your twinks at a significant level. Once the meta slowly sets in, you then have the pleasant option to choose from several classes what you want to play for the rest of the season. A positive side effect: you improve in the game in general because you have learned about different classes and roles. This experience remains valuable in the long term.
MeinMMO: Thank you for the answers!
We also spoke briefly with the developers of World of Warcraft about the lore, the features, and the endgame of Dragonflight:

In a few weeks, the next update 3.3 for Genshin Impact will be released. Along with it comes a new, permanent PvP game mode: the card game “Genius Summoning.”
The action RPG Genshin Impact is still one of the most popular mobile games. Therefore, it’s not surprising that the developers are diligently bringing new content for the online game. This is also why we consider Genshin Impact to be one of the best mobile games that you can play in 2022.
Now the update 3.3 has been introduced. Included are not only two new characters but also a new PvP mode. This is a card game. There were already persistent rumors about the card game.

Genshin Impact Trailer Version 3.3 – „All Senses Clear, All Existence Void“
In the new card game, you can challenge NPCs and other players
What kind of card game is this? With “Genius Summoning,” the developers behind Genshin Impact have presented a completely new game mode: In the card game, you can compete against NPCs or human players. For a victory, you earn coins with which you can unlock more cards or other items.
With the coins you win, you can unlock more content for your deck.
How does the new PvP mode work? In the card game, the goal is to defeat your opponent’s character cards.
For your game deck, you need different cards that have different functions. In addition to the character cards, which show you well-known characters from the game, there are also cards that can deal damage.
Besides, there are also action cards: These include equipment, event, and support cards that provide various advantages such as enhancements or permanent effects.
The cards are played with elemental dice. At the beginning of each round, you roll with 8 eight-sided dice and thus earn points for the 7 elements of the game. You can then use these points to play cards.
In each round, you start with 8 eight-sided dice that you need to roll.
Unlocking and monetization are still unknown
What is still unknown? It is not yet known when the card game can be unlocked in the game. It is also still unclear how long a match will last and whether there are hidden monetization mechanics behind the card game. For example, you need to unlock new characters in the game via Original Resin. However, the developers will surely release more information soon.

Fortnite will soon have a live event, but not just any event. It is set to be the longest event in the history of the BR shooter. Why the event lasts 40 minutes and what you can expect will be revealed here.
How long does Chapter 3’s live event last? The live event of Season 4 Chapter 3 starts on December 3rd at 10:00 PM German time. Players can enter the matchmaking 30 minutes before the event starts. This way, you can secure a spot and form special teams with fellow players.
The event will then continue until 10:40 PM and conclude Chapter 3. You will be in the live event for a total of 40 minutes and experience things that herald the new chapter. Live events from Epic Games usually last a maximum of 20 minutes, so what lies behind this potentially largest event? We will show you.
What you need to know about the Chapter 3 Season 4 event
A chaotic image full of destruction
What happens in Fortnite? In Fortnite, the event “Shattered” begins on December 3rd and ends the shortest chapter in the history of Battle Royals. The island is slowly being consumed by the chrome of the Herald over four seasons, and tornadoes will finish off the residents. As always, chaos is at the forefront before the end of a chapter, as also suggested by the event image from Epic Games.
The map is being ravaged by countless tornadoes that even tear whole pieces from the island. You can even see parts of the amusement park from Season 3. It’s clear that the island won’t survive the event. So it is conceivable that you will experience the live event through cutscenes and playable elements.
Epic Games has used this in the past to bring the story closer to the players. Moreover, there is a greater power behind the Herald, namely the “Nothing.” It’s very likely that the developers have much to show, in order to make the transition to a new map plausible.
Even at the end of Chapter 2, after an alien invasion, the map was simply turned upside down, but this time the situation is more complicated and may require more time for players to grasp the connections. Therefore, 40 minutes might not be so long.
Why does Chapter 3 end so early? There could be many reasons. Hypex, a well-known Fortnite leaker, is already listing all the possible innovations for Chapter 4. The following could await you:
Creative Mode 2.0
New type of cosmetic items (Apparel)
Flying creatures as vehicles
First-Person Mode
Motorcycles
The most important feature is probably Creative Mode 2.0. Epic Games started to expand and improve this with Chapter 2, but it did not manage to complete it. However, as we know Epic, each chapter begins with large expansions and new game features for the BR shooter.
In Chapter 2, it was swimming and fishing, in Chapter 3 it was sprinting and especially parkour. With Chapter 4, Creative Mode 2.0 and First-Person Mode could be the core features that players will encounter.
Such massive innovations have never been implemented in the middle of a chapter. It’s very likely that Epic Games has many innovations already finished, but cannot wait six more seasons to release them. Chapter 3 may thus have served as a so-called filler to bridge the time until the team finishes the projects.
That was all the information about the live event in Fortnite, what do you think about the chapter ending so quickly? Is it good, or will you miss the map? Let us know in the comments!

The new proximity chat of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 creates fantastic social moments in the intense PvP game. This has led to some amazing videos, especially one with the “Backstreet Boys” that went viral.
Warzone has reinvented itself with its successor: Call of Duty: Warzone 2 does many things differently, yet at its core, it is still the Battle Royale that many CoD fans got to know and love in early 2020 – perhaps even a little better.
This leads to incredibly funny situations and several content creators have already recognized the goldmine that this is. This includes YouTube streamer “Big E”, who went viral with a Warzone version of the Backstreet Boys.
Warzone 2: Proximity chat is crazily wild
The video shows a well-groomed Big E with a glass of wine in hand. He starts with: “I accidentally formed a boyband in Warzone’s proximity chat.” But see for yourself:

The video went global and has nearly 2 million views and almost 70,000 likes on Twitter alone. In the comments under the tweet, users are heavily celebrating the clip:
@Nokokopuffs: “Why doesn’t this have 10 million views? Pure gold!”
@flexinja: “This is what the proximity chat should be used for. That was beautiful.”
@BanKsEsports: “This is incredible. We need more of that.”
Even the official Twitter account of Call of Duty shared the video and commented: “Sounds identical.”
Although the video is just edited in that way, the situation didn’t actually happen like that. But the opponents’ voices really come from the proximity chat (via youtube.com). It made many users laugh – at least until they realized that the brutal earworm can still be heard hours later.

For a week now, players can play Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. But one Pokémon already has the reputation of being far too strong.
Since November 18, 2022, you can play Pokémon Scarlet & Violet on the Nintendo Switch. With the 9th generation, there is also a whole bunch of new pocket monsters that you can catch in the world of Paldea. A certain Pokémon type, however, did not make it into the official game.
But one Pokémon is currently causing a lot of excitement. This pocket monster is said to make things too easy and ruin a unique challenge. MeinMMO explains what it’s all about.
The starter “Krokel” is considered too strong by some players
Who are we talking about exactly? When you start Pokémon Scarlet or Violet on your Switch, you have to choose one of three starters with which to embark on your Spanish-influenced journey. You have the following options:
Felori, looks like a cat and is a grass-type Pokémon
Kwaks, looks like a duck and is a water-type Pokémon.
Krokel, looks like a crocodile and is a fire-type Pokémon.
However, Krokel, the fire-type Pokémon, is now causing a stir among a whole bunch of players. Many people feel it is far too strong, especially when they want to participate in a specific challenge in Pokémon Scarlet or Violet.
Krokel is considered overpowered if you’re a Nuzlocke player.
What kind of challenge is this? The Pokémon games are anything but challenging for many. For this reason, players set self-imposed challenges to make the game harder and more complex. This challenge is called the “Nuzlocke” mode:
Here, there is the capture rule that forces you to catch only the first Pokémon that you encounter in an area.
Another rule is: If a Pokémon faints, meaning it has 0 hit points, you must either release it or permanently box it in a PC.
What is the problem with Krokel now? The fire starter Krokel makes the Nuzlocke mode far too easy. For example, the user “PokemonChallenges” writes on Twitter: “It [Krokel] has taken on 5 gyms by itself” and all players who are Nuzlocke fans should ban the starter:

The user describes the fire starter as the “most cheated starter in Nuzlocke history.” This would undermine the entire challenge.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: How much multiplayer is in the new game
Other users also have little “luck” with the new Pokémon games. The game has already reached the top 3 on Twitch within a few days, but there seems to be a nasty trap for streamers. A well-known streamer has now fallen victim to it:
In League of Legends the transfer season is in full swing: Teams are reshaping for 2023. The most successful and renowned professional player in Europe is the Croatian Luka “Perkz” Perković (24), who has been incredibly successful for years. However, his plan to form a new superteam in France went horribly wrong in 2022 – now Team Vitality wants to do everything new in 2023, at least almost everything: Perkz is allowed to stay.
Why is Perkz considered the greatest player in Europe?
Perkz played for Team G2 Esports from 2015 to 2020, first in the midlane, then in the botlane – and won almost everything there.
Perkz is considered an absolute leader and someone whose engine always runs at 100%. When he left G2, the team crumbled and has not fully recovered to this day: In 2021, they did not qualify for Worlds, in 2022 G2 disappointed.

LoL stages its biggest professionals in a trailer so perfectly that I still get goosebumps 4 years later
Super team in France was supposed to tear everything apart – instead, it tore itself apart
What was the plan? In 2022, a super team was actually supposed to emerge in France with Team Vitality, meaning a team with outstanding individual players. To this end, they picked up some of the best European LoL professionals available on the market, brought Perkz and top-laner Alphari back from the USA, but it simply did not work.
Despite the gathered firepower, the team did not harmonize and played no particularly good role in the LEC: Perkz and Alphari were even said to have lost some of their class in the USA and were still chasing their form.
This is now the plan: Team Vitality has now let go of 4 of the 5 regular players: Only Perkz remains from the old squad. Additionally, they are keeping backup jungler Bo, who seems to have enormous potential.
According to reports, they are now adding 3 players to Perkz and Bo:
Photon, a top-laner who plays for the youth team of T1
Neon, a carry who previously played for Misfits
the German supporter Kaiser, who is coming from Mad Lions

How are the players reacting? Especially the sorted-out top-laner Alphari, who was supposed to be a “co-star”, sounds disappointed. He tweeted initially: “Who is Photon and why do people say I’m taking a break in spring?”
In the meantime, he stated: He is taking a break at the start of 2023, not looking for a new team, but just taking time off. He has now played for 6 years, and his life has revolved solely around winning a split, in which he has always failed. It is becoming increasingly difficult for him to motivate himself (via twitter).
On the other hand, Perkz seems to be looking forward to 2023: A “banger team” has been put together (via twitter).
Alphari is taking a break after another year went by without success.
For Perkz, this must also be an adjustment, as he played for years with the same 4 people at G2, the core group around him, Caps, Wunder, Jankos, and Mikyx felt like a sworn team, now he has new teammates again after 3 years.
“Ready or Not” is a tactical first-person shooter in Early Access, where you must resolve tense situations with your SWAT unit. The game has 93% positive reviews on Steam and is currently available at a discount during the Autumn Sale 2022.
What kind of game is Ready or Not? The game is a tactical shooter from a first-person perspective. Players are thrown into various situations that they must resolve with their SWAT team. Ready or Not resembles the old Rainbow Six or SWAT games.
Here you can see a trailer for Ready or Not:

Ready or Not – Trailer ‘No Room for Civility’
What does the gameplay of Ready or Not look like? Even though the game is a shooter, you should focus more on tactical approaches. The goal is primarily to apprehend criminals; blunt force won’t help you.
You have various ways to approach the situation: sneaking, yelling at opponents until they drop their weapon, or using gadgets that are non-lethal.
Here are some screenshots from Ready or Not
The game emphasizes a realistic setting, which is why it implements “the penetration of bullets and ricochets, Kevlar and plate dynamics, and the spread and impact of projectiles” (via Steam).
In the game, 60 different items are available for missions. From various optics, muzzle modifications, magazines to items such as shields or ladders.
There is also a coop mode where you can play with your friends online.
Even now, the shooter seems to be well-received in the community. Out of a total of 64,896 reviews, 93% are positive (as of November 26, 2022, via Steam).
How much does Ready or Not cost? The game is part of the discounted titles of the Steam Autumn Sale 2022. Therefore, you can get the game in Early Access at a lower price, with a 15% discount.
Instead of €35.99, you currently pay €30.59. The special offer is valid until November 29, 2022. That is when the Steam Autumn Sale ends.
The German Twitch streamer Trymacs had planned a big event for December titled “Kick auf Ice.” But now he has to change the event because Stefan Raab and his company are threatening him with a hefty fine. Trymacs expresses his disappointment towards his great role model.
Maximilian Stemmler, alias “Trymacs,” is one of the biggest German Twitch streamers. He regularly comes up with crazy ideas and is known for spending a lot of money.
Now, the Twitch streamer had announced a new event. With “Kick auf Ice,” a big event was supposed to take place at the end of December: well-known streamers and YouTubers were to compete against each other and play football on an ice surface. But it seems that this will not happen, as he explains quite disappointedly in a statement.
Stefan Raab has called for Trymacs to cease – streamer changes the event
What exactly happened? Stefan Raab, or rather his production company “Raab TV,” has called for Trymacs and his team to cease the event and threatens him with a fine of up to 500,000 euros.
According to various statements, it is also about protecting one’s own rights. For instance, GamesWirtschaft writes on Twitter: “In cases like these, it’s not about $$$ – but about protecting one’s own IPs and rights. One cannot just let it go unchallenged.”

In his statement, however, Trymacs expresses his heavy disappointment towards Stefan Raab and explains in his video that he has always been a big fan of the TV legend and that he has been a role model for him (in the video at minute 1:07). However, he is less than thrilled about the warning and cannot understand it at all. We have embedded the entire statement here for you:

What will we see now? An event will still take place, as they have already sold thousands of tickets for the “Lanxess Arena” and have also invited many well-known streamers such as MontanaBlack or Knossi.
For the new event, the ice will now simply be omitted; instead, they will play football as an indoor version. Instead of “Kick auf Ice,” the event is now called “The Big Kick.”
Why is Trymacs so upset? Just recently, Trymacs and Stefan Raab had “collaborated” at an event.
Because Trymacs had participated in this year’s Wok WM with other streamers. This was initiated by Stefan Raab in 2003 after he had offered it as a wager during “Wetten dass..?”:
A gamer bought a new PC with an RTX 3080ti. However, searching for a fault cost him several weeks. Later, he feels quite embarrassed about the mistake, as he emotionally explains. The community praises him for staying so persistent.
When someone buys a new gaming PC, they usually want to dive right into the latest games without much setup. The advantage of pre-built systems is that you can usually get started right away. While some people are willing to spend a lot of money on a gaming PC, there are also users who cheat to build a good gaming PC themselves.
A gamer also bought a new PC and was very happy at first. But after 2 months, the problems began, leading to weeks of troubleshooting.
Gamer overlooks faulty cable in his 3,000-Euro computer
What exactly happened? A gamer bought a gaming PC for around 3,000 Euros. With an Intel i7-12700k as the processor and a GeForce RTX 3080Ti as the graphics card, he had invested in a high-end system.
However, after about 2 months, his games crashed on his system. There was a black screen, and nothing else happened. In an emotional post on reddit, he explained that he had spent days trying to track down the error. The solution had been so simple that he felt like an idiot looking back.
What was the exact solution? The problem was indeed inside the PC. After opening it, he found out that one of his power cables wasn’t properly attached to the graphics card. Presumably, a cable had come loose from the graphics card without him realizing it.
After he properly secured the cable, he restarted the PC, and the problems were gone. In his thread, he writes that he feels like a fool for taking so long:
Then I go to the graphics card, and everything looks good except for a tiny gap in one of the 3 6 + 2pin connectors on the 2pin side. I felt like a fool, secured it, and restarted. Finally, the game worked properly again, and I immediately regretted not sticking to the basics and checking how the connections looked. After trying for weeks to find a complex solution, it had been so simple.
Community shows understanding and praises his persistence
How does the community react? Other users show surprisingly much understanding for the user. One explains that you surprisingly often have to return to the “basics” when dealing with computers.
Another user tells him: “Persistence is a skill that comes into play not only in PC troubleshooting.”
More gamers with problems: Other players also have issues with their expensive systems. Another gamer also bought a new system, but the frame rate never reached the values that the new hardware should actually achieve:
A very rare mount will soon be given away for players of World of Warcraft. This has sparked a discussion in the community: should certain content really be limited in availability? The Game Director Ion Hazzikostas has a clear opinion on this.
Which mount are we talking about? The Fel Drake is a special version of a black dragon that glows in places with the neon green of the famous fel corruption.
The mount is quite rare and sought after in World of Warcraft, as it comes from the trading card game that is no longer produced. Accordingly, there are collectors who pay up to $3,000 for the Fel Drake.
This is the problem with the mount: Since the dragon is only available for a limited time, it is considered an absolute collector’s item and rarity – and as something that can easily be missed. Those who did not play the trading card game or purchased packs never had a chance at the mount.
This sparked a discussion in the community that has been brewing for some time. The topic: FOMO, short for “Fear Of Missing Out”. This has long been a point of contention among players.
Certain content in WoW is only available temporarily. The best known are certain achievements, called feats of strength, which you only receive if you complete raids at the highest Mythic level, as long as they are active content.
Often such content is linked with rewards like titles and mounts that are never available again. Those who start later will never have the chance to obtain such an item.
Since the Twitch Drops, the community has been discussing in forums, on reddit, and other social media whether FOMO is still relevant, how long exclusivity should last, and whether such content truly needs to be inaccessible, especially when the only ones who have it no longer play.
One of the most famous FOMO mounts is probably the black Qiraji Battle Tank. Only a few players per server could obtain it in Vanilla WoW. Here you can see the rarest mounts in WoW:
His response to the question of whether content like Gladiator mounts and top-tier achievements will ever return is very direct:
I consider this extremely unlikely. Some of these very special mounts, rewards, and titles that exist at that time mean: You were there. You achieved this. And if you missed it, you missed it.
The vast majority, over 99% of all rewards in World of Warcraft, are things you can come back to years later and obtain. Kill old Mythic raid bosses and get their titles, farm the mounts. But for a handful of things, it’s really about being part of the experience. And when you see someone with it, you know they achieved it when it still counted.
We don’t want to expand this area too much, but we will probably keep it as it is.
Hazzikostas is only talking about content that can actually be earned in the game and not external rewards like the Fel Drake. Nevertheless, he clearly answers the question of whether FOMO content will ever be made available to new players.
With the release of Dragonflight, by the way, some content from World of Warcraft will also disappear irretrievably. You still have time to secure it:
The MMORPG Diablo Immortal is heavily criticized but brings in a lot of revenue. Now 129 servers have been closed, as the number of players is decreasing.
Blizzard made a lot of money with Diablo Immortal. At the end of July, a report spoke of 100 million euros, according to colleagues from mmorpg.org.pl, it is now said to be even 300 million euros.
Although the game has always been under strong criticism, it was especially a big success in Germany. The criticism was mainly about the monetization. Certain content and progress were tied to items that could be purchased:
In a second wave of closures, a total of 129 servers have now been closed, including several German ones. We will explain what you need to pay attention to and which servers are affected.
Blizzard closes several servers, characters, and in-game purchases remain intact
When were the servers closed? After November 23, the servers were merged.
Which German servers are affected? For German-speaking players, 13 servers have been merged. We list them here for you:
Akeba
Harrogath
Imperius
Vizjerei
Hemlir
Hratli
Segithis
Solarion
Larzuk
El’Druin
Tabri
Zolthrax
Qual-Kehk
What do I need to pay attention to? According to Blizzard, you do not need to transfer your characters or pay attention to other things. Your characters will remain intact and you can keep your purchased Battle Passes. Even special achievements for Challenge Rift will be transferred to the new servers.
However, it is different when it comes to names: If other characters already have your name on the new server, Blizzard will add a number to your name and offer you a free name change.

Diablo Immortal: All 6 Classes in Brief Overview with Gameplay
More content for Diablo Immortal: Just recently, Blizzard presented its first major content update for the MMORPG. This includes a large new dungeon and a castle that you can conquer. MeinMMO presents the content in the following article:
For the first time in 6 years, World of Warcraft is getting a new class. The Evokers of the Dracthyr are one of the core features of the new expansion Dragonflight. MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus helps you decide if this class is right for you.
Since November 16, you can play Evokers of the Dracthyr yourself if you have pre-ordered Dragonflight. From the release on November 29, you can then level the class up to level 70. The time until then is ideal to take a closer look at the class.
We provide you here with assistance to decide if the Evoker is something for you. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has already played the Evoker in alpha and is excited. He will even switch and play a spellcasting class for the first time in 12 years.
A good portion of the reasons for and against the Evoker are based on the personal experience of our expert author. However, we also looked at what other experts think about the Evoker – for example, on wowhead and in the class Discord.
In general, the rule is: If you are interested in the class, give it a try. Here, we mainly look at how Evokers perform in everyday WoW scenarios and at higher levels.
WoW shows the main features of Dragonflight in the gameplay trailer, fans praise: “Finally hype again”
5 Reasons to Play an Evoker
Evokers are a flexible spellcasting class with many builds
What sets the Evoker apart the most from most other classes is the range of options in how you can play it. Evokers can essentially deal damage and heal, but all in various builds.
From our experience, the different talent combinations for Evokers are significantly more extensive than for other classes. There are hardly any “must-have” talents, but many variants that are playable. This is partly due to how the spells of the Evokers are structured, which can be traced back to the five dragonflights:
Red: Damage spells that mainly deal damage over time (“DoTs”) and area damage (“AoE”)
Blue: Damage spells that are usually strongest against 1-3 targets (“Cleave”)
Bronze: Healing spells that primarily prevent damage
Green: Direct healing spells and healing over time (“HoTs”)
Black: Abilities with mixed or defensive characteristics
This leads to you either adapting to the situation or completely experimenting with what suits you: do you prefer to heal with direct spells or prevention? Do you prefer to deal damage with DoTs or fly like Deathwing across the battlefield?
In our guide, you will find detailed information on how to play the Evoker as well as example builds:
If you are used to Warlocks or Priests, you probably know spellcasting classes more as stationary, slow characters. Evokers are dragons with flight, and accordingly, the class relies heavily on mobility. The developers even emphasize this.
You can cast most spells while moving by “Soaring” and also have the ability to catapult yourself forward.
As a healer, you can quickly fly to allies and heal them, and both specializations can learn “Rescue”. This allows you to grab a party member and fly a long distance across the battlefield. Your friend can even continue casting spells.
Many of your abilities are connected with movements, allowing you to frequently change position. A little

In FIFA 23 the Black Friday and the “Road to the FIFA World Cup” has now started, along with World Cup Icons in the event.
When does the event start in FIFA 23? The “Black Friday” in FIFA 23 started on Friday, November 25.

Black Friday, Road to the World Cup, Best of TOTW and new Icons in FIFA 23
Update, November 25, 19:00: And now the first team of the “World Cup Icons” has also been released:
What are World Cup Icons? “World Cup Icons” replace the base and mid versions during the event and can be packed. The rating of the cards is between mid and prime, so they can be weaker than the prime icons.
However, they are said to come with other attributes, skill moves, and weak foot values that can be better than the prime version.
Update, November 25, 15:00: The “Road to the World Cup” team has been released.
This is the “Road to the World Cup” team
According to EA (via ea.com), the cards consist of players who have particularly distinguished themselves in qualifying for their countries. They receive an upgrade, but apparently, they are not dynamic cards that can be further improved.
Update, November 25, 09:00: Meanwhile, the “Best of TOTW” has already been released, which is currently available in FIFA 23. You can see the whole team here:

How exactly the course of Black Friday will be this year is still open for now. As soon as there is more information, the article will be updated.
While the Best-of-TOTW was released during the event, it is also known that the regular TOTW will first be paused: There will be no typical TOTWs during the World Cup. This also affects the important rewards of the Weekend League in FIFA 23.

In Destiny 2, the mysterious spaghetti face is flying in – Xur. He is the best NPC vendor for all Guardians who still have gaps in their collection. MeinMMO tells you where to find him and what his offerings look like.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? At the beginning of the week, it got musical in Destiny 2 when a developer revealed a secret that no Guardian had discovered since 2020.
Alongside this music secret, the already leaked community event also started. There, Misraaks asked the Guardians to make the Eliksni quarter a better and especially warm new home for the Fallen and their sweet babies. But what was supposed to be a two-week event ended after record-breaking 25 hours, as the Guardians exploited the already known “donation exploit”.
If you were still looking forward to a little story tidbit at the end of season 18, we unfortunately have to disappoint you. Leakers have already published the last cutscene, ruining the suspense early.
Season 18 has one last story detail in store for you.

Where is Xur? This is his location for the weekend
Xur’s position: Each week, Xur can be found at a different location. So you never know exactly where to find him.
Xur is located at the Tower in the hangar.

Trials of Osiris from November 25 – 29 – Map, Weapons, and Info
The Trials of Osiris are an endgame PvP activity and they take place every weekend. There is only one exception, which is when the Iron Banner event is active. Otherwise, Bungie refills the inventory of the 14th Saint with new Trials passes every weekend so you can increase your glory in the PvP endgame.
Which map is on for this week? The so-called PvP Trials always take place on a designated map.
The new map for this week is “Altar of Flame”.
“Altar of Flame” – Trials map for this weekend
If you are interested in playing the Trials with a fixed team, MeinMMO recommends the Callout maps via Warmind. This way, you can clearly communicate to your fireteam where the enemies are located on the map, which provides useful information for the entire team.
Here’s how to get your loot: The Trials of Osiris have a reputation rank system. Your top loot reward from PvP matches is currently available for:
Seven victories
50 rounds
As well as the infamous flawless run that takes you to the Lighthouse
This is the reward for a flawless run: Every week you can also expect a very special weapon at the Lighthouse, which you will receive as a Master version for your flawless run, i.e., 7 victories. The weapon can be earned until next Tuesday, November 29, at 6 PM.
As a reward, you will always receive an Adept weapon if you successfully make it to the Lighthouse.
The master weapon of this week is the Stasis Fusion Rifle “Burden of Guilt”.
Burden of Guilt – Stasis Fusion Rifle (Kinetic)
All Trials weapons have a Trials origin perk: “Quick Charge” – Improves reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last surviving member of your fireteam or fighting alone.
You can focus your Trials Engrams on your desired weapon at the 14th Saint. In addition, there are enhancement prisms and ascendant shards. Remember that your reward increases even further once you have a full pass – even if you have lost one or two games.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris start today, November 25, at 6 PM, and end with the weekly reset on November 29 at 6 PM.

In Call of Duty Warzone 2 the ping for each player when logging in for the first time is neutral and thus white. However, to make your markings stand out on the map, we will show you a setting that allows you to change the ping color.
What is ping? Ping is an important feature in Warzone 2 and the DMZ mode. You can use it to mark locations, vehicles, or contracts, giving your team instructions without direct communication. Therefore, it is important that the color stands out from the map.
When you log in for the first time in Warzone 2, you will quickly notice that your ping is white. This is counterproductive, as it does not stand out from the other symbols and colors on the map. We will show you a setting to quickly solve this problem.
How to change the ping color: To change your ping color, you need to start as follows:
Open the settings in Warzone 2 or DMZ
Now go to the “Interface” menu item
Now go to the “Color customization” point
Scroll down to the “Neutral” point
The “Neutral” point represents your pings in this case
If you activate this point, you can choose your own color
Now you have colored your ping
Here is the setting with the change to pink
Why is my color not changing? The system behind it is somewhat opaque, and at first glance, you will not notice any differences. The ping has changed, but only when you look at your terrain from the first-person perspective. The ping color on your map remains white. Whether this is intended or if it is a bug is not known.
If further information becomes known, we will update our article and provide news. Until then, this is the only method to change the ping color.

Marcel “MontanaBlack“ Eris (34) is one of the most successful German streamers on Twitch. However, he has been dissatisfied with his streaming home for quite some time and has already threatened to withdraw from the platform. In December, his project is set to launch on the streaming service Joyn.
What kind of project is this? With “Get Away”, MontanaBlack gets his own show on the streaming platform Joyn: Joyn is a joint project of several media companies, including the channels ProSieben and Sat 1. Advertising is ubiquitous when watching one of the channels.
In addition to the media libraries of individual TV channels, Joyn has its own productions. This is not the first project for the streaming platform with a streamer: In July, “Knossis Kingdom” with the German entertainer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla was already broadcast there.
Start video
Career and Life of MontanaBlack in 2 Minutes: What Makes Him Unique?
What is the show with MontanaBlack about? “Get Away” is supposed to be an escape show. In a decommissioned prison, some of the biggest German influencers will have to face individual and team challenges to escape from prison in the end.
MontanaBlack is expected to serve as host and accomplice alongside ProSieben moderator Steven Gätjen (e.g., Joko & Klaas against ProSieben). He will likely assist or hinder the participants in their escape attempts.
The grand finale is expected to feature a “particularly surprising challenge”.
Included is the streamer who replaced him as German number 1
Who are the participants? 4 German influencers will compete against each other in Get Away. Among them are some of the biggest Twitch streamers in Germany:
YouTuber Kayla Shyx is the only woman in the group
When will the show air? Get Away is supposed to be a live show and will be broadcast on December 11 at 6:00 PM on Joyn. A page for the show has not yet been created, but it can be assumed that Get Away will be free to watch.
Actually, MontanaBlack has wanted to leave Twitch for years
Why is MontanaBlack dissatisfied with Twitch? In a talk with YouTuber Staiy, MontanaBlack spoke in September 2022 about his dissatisfaction with his streaming home. There are 3 things in particular that bother the streamer about Twitch:
In the past, MontanaBlack had repeated trouble with Twitch for violating the platform’s strict rules on sexual topics. After he wanted to give young men advice in a “cool sex talk” in November, Twitch even threatened him with a permanent ban if he drew attention to himself with sexual topics again.
MontanaBlack was long the biggest German streamer on Twitch, even one of the biggest worldwide. However, Twitch withdrew after negotiating with him for half a year for an exclusive contract.
Twitch is becoming less lucrative for big streamers. Some of the changes the platform has made over the past months do not suit MontanaBlack at all. Among other things, the share of streamers in the revenues from paid subscriptions has been reduced.
Actually, he would have left Twitch a long time ago, says MontanaBlack. But the competition simply hasn’t been there or has shown no interest in him.
Currently, Joyn is probably not a real competitor for the streaming giant Twitch. However, it is evident that MontanaBlack is eyeing alternative providers. Perhaps he also hopes to make Twitch reconsider the exclusivity contract.
Get Away is not MontanaBlack’s first appearance on television. Already in early November, he was with Trymacs and Knossi at the Wok-WM 2022 on ProSieben and landed there in a disappointing 8th place. However, in retrospect, that was not what upset him the most about the show:
However, for all the mentioned graphics cards: They are all high-end models aimed at enthusiasts who want to game in 4K or higher. The majority of players are still gaming in Full HD or WQHD. And for these users, such an expensive model is still not worth it.
Midrange models, so-called mid-range cards, have not yet been announced. These are graphics cards aimed at the vast majority. It may take another good six months before an RTX 4060 or RX 7700 XT comes to market. Whether such cards will even come is also still unknown, but very likely.
RTX 3000 and RX 7000 are worth it in 2022 with good deals
What is the alternative? The last generation, the RTX 3000 graphics cards, and the models from the RX 6000 series are now well available.
For an RX 6800 XT, you currently pay around 800 euros, a year ago you paid 1,300 euros.
For an RTX 3080, you currently pay around 850 euros, a year ago you paid 1,500 euros.
The current graphics card prices are therefore far from the prices of Christmas 2022, and there are always good deals that could be worthwhile.
If you can get an RTX 3080 or an RX 6800 XT near or slightly above the MSRP, then you will make no mistake buying such a graphics card.
Because the GPUs from the last generation are still excellent models. If you buy an RTX 3080 or an RX 6800 XT now, you can still play top current games comfortably for several years. You don’t have to buy an RTX 4080 or wait another year for the mid-range cards to arrive.
Right now, it’s especially worth looking at the models from AMD. Why this is the case and what you need to consider when buying, we explain in the following article:
