The Twitch streamer Asmongold is considered a true WoW nerd. In a new livestream, he impressed many viewers with his knowledge. He plays the WoW version of Geoguessr and hits the correct area every time, often even precisely.
What kind of game was it? In Geoguessr, the goal is to determine where you are on Earth based on images of an environment. This is easily possible thanks to modern recording techniques like Google Streetview.
What was so impressive about Asmongold’s performance? The Twitch streamer looked at a picture and knew within seconds which area he was in. He also refrained from the option to move in different directions and relied solely on the one screenshot he got.
Although he did not always hit the exact point where the screenshot was taken, he was always in the correct area in all 15 attempts.
Asmongold repeatedly says in the video sentences like “that’s obvious” or “we all know where that is”. Apparently, many viewers did not know this, as they were impressed by the streamer’s knowledge in the chat and also in the comments on YouTube.
You can watch the video of the round here:

Praise for Asmongold, but also for the game designers
How do the viewers react? They are very enthusiastic. In the live chat, users wrote things like “he is a WoW god” or “finally, the 18 years of WoW are worth it” and surprised emotes were posted again and again. Some joke that Asmongold knows more about WoW than about his immediate neighborhood.
In the comments on YouTube, there is also recognition for Asmongold, but even more for the game designers. Because they have managed to create a world that is memorable:
Leinoni Bishop writes: “A big shoutout to the game designers who created such an immersive world that we can look at the sky, the color of the sand, or a rock along a path and know exactly where it is on the vast world map.”
Michael Thomas is also thrilled: “When I see this game, I have to think about the great work Blizzard has done over the years to create unique areas. I may not be able to name exact points, but I almost always know the areas.”
2022 will be the first year in a long time that the global gaming market shrinks. That’s what market researchers say. For many years, revenue figures had been steadily increasing, with the revenues of 2020 and 2021 particularly high due to COVID-related lockdowns, but 2022 marks the break of that trend. It will be a corrective year. Revenue on PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile shrinks.
Market researchers say: According to researchers from Newzoo, the gaming market will shrink in 2022 compared to 2021. It is estimated:
the gaming market will generate a total of $184.4 billion in 2022 (down from $192.7 billion in 2021) – that is 4.3% less than in 2021.
What is the basis for these numbers? Newzoo states it has analyzed the financial results of 150 publicly traded companies, focusing on the first 6 months of the calendar year 2022.

MeinMMO at gamescom 2022 – Here are our highlights
After 2 very hot years, 2022 will be a rather cold year in gaming
What is causing the shrinkage? Newzoo says: 2022 is a “corrective year,” as the gaming market was significantly boosted in 2020 and 2021 due to the lockdowns resulting from the fight against the global COVID pandemic:
Therefore, 2020 and 2021 were much stronger in gaming than originally projected.
However, 2022 is now slightly below the expectations that were set in 2020 for growth in the coming years.
Overall, gaming from 2020 to 2022 has grown significantly more than projected before the pandemic, and is expected to grow again in the coming years.
For 2025, growth is anticipated again.
Consoles and mobile shrink – PC grows slightly
Where is gaming not declining? According to Newzoo, PC gaming will not decline in 2022, but will grow slightly by 0.5% compared to 2021.
This is because PC gaming does not rely on hits as much as other platforms: The top games would run on PC for years. There continues to be growth in China and Japan.
Who is hit hardest? According to Newzoo, the mobile market is hit hardest by the shrinkage: Compared to 2021, the market would shrink by 6.4%.
Especially in the second half of 2021, people invested a lot of money in mobile gaming, which is not expected in the second half of 2022, according to Newzoo.
The console market is also expected to be 4.2% worse.
The PC stands its ground even in the crisis.
First shrinkage since records began
What is special about this shrinkage? The special thing is that market researchers cannot pinpoint when the gaming market last shrank.
Newzoo states that the gaming market is now shrinking year over year for the first time since records began. The company has been around since 2007.
Other market researchers, the group “Ampere Analytics,” had already published data in July 2022 showing that the gaming market more than doubled from $95 billion in 2015 to $191 billion in 2021, in just 6 years.
Ampere Analytics stated that gaming is not immune to economic turbulence such as inflation or recession. It is “inevitable” that gaming will be negatively affected by this. However, games still offer a lot of value for the money, so gaming is likely shielded from the worst impacts of a global market slowdown.
Overall, however, market researchers believe that the shrinkage in 2022 is only an exception, and that gaming will continue to grow.
Perhaps gaming will also grow in 2023 based on these MMORPGs:

The German Twitch streamer Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller (24) shared a story about a Tinder date that went bizarre during a podcast. However, a conversation partner, actress Kayla Shyx, pointed out how the situation could also be understood. That made it less funny.
What was the situation? In the video podcast “Edeltalk” on November 13, Papaplatte talked about “dating.” The gaming streamer recounted an incident from his life that he apparently found funny, as reported by the page Ingame:
“My favorite story, I think it was also a Tinder date, we – uh – had sex and then, we were done in less than 30 seconds. As one does afterwards – you go take a shower. I didn’t shower long, maybe two minutes. She was on FaceTime with six friends playing a round of UNO on her phone. I found it so fucking awkward.”
From his perspective, Papaplatte seemed to have gotten a strange partner there.
How did the discussion turn against him? Also invited to the podcast was actress Kayla Shyx, known for her role in the children’s channel’s reality show “Die Mädchen-WG” since 2016. She also runs a YouTube channel.
She wasn’t laughing at the story like the two men present but looked somewhat skeptical. Shyx explained to the Twitch streamer a bit snidely that he had “really delivered” on that.
Papaplatte looks at her indignantly and asks: “What is that supposed to mean?”
If she’s playing UNO afterwards, you probably didn’t entertain her …
The actress says: “Well, dude, no front, but if she immediately plays fucking UNO afterwards, then you delivered so little entertainment that UNO was the next best thing.”
Papaplatte realizes the situation he’s gotten himself into, says: “No, I’m not going to take that now.” But he also gets a broadside from his podcast partner, Dominik Reezmann, who finds the situation hilarious.
The actress follows up: “Hey, have you never reflected on that?”
Papaplatte, now in defensive mode: The evening couldn’t have gone that bad, he explains. After all, the date stayed for another 30 minutes to brush her teeth.
But Shyx is relentless: “Brushed your teeth for half an hour – and you think that’s why she liked you?”
The streamer then informs the actress that they have decided not to invite her again.
The amusing segment starts at 1:37 hours.

Papaplatte was once among the most successful German streamers, even in global rankings. Apparently, many of his viewers appreciate his somewhat clumsy style, which often gets him into trouble.
Thus, Papaplatte is almost legendary for constantly being banned from Twitch. Especially in 2020, he had quite a streak, ending up with 7 bans in one year:
A substantial amount of money is waiting for you in Cayo Perico. Find out why the heist in GTA Online is worthwhile right now and what to expect on Tuesday.
What has changed in Cayo Perico? The heist on the island of drug lord El Rubio has been popular in recent months. With quick runs, you can scoop up millions in GTA dollars. This lucrative business has been further strengthened with the launch of the new bonus week on November 17.
The coveted Panther statue is now available for you to collect for a limited time. And Rockstar Games is planning a big community challenge in a few days.
Bonuses at Cayo Perico now active
What bonuses are available? A few bonuses from Rockstar Games have been activated around the Cayo Perico heist.
You only pay half for equipment costs
You have the chance to loot the rare Panther statue until November 21
Members of GTA+ will find the Panther statue guaranteed weekly until December 12
The Cayo Perico series (game mode) offers double rewards
Grab the statue now!
What does the statue bring? The Panther statue is the most valuable treasure you can steal on Cayo Perico. Its individual value is 1.9 million GTA dollars on normal difficulty. At the “Hard” difficulty level, you’ll get 2.09 million GTA dollars for it. So, the theft is really worth it for you.
Keep in mind that you will only definitely obtain the statue during the first Cayo Perico heist you play in this event week. After that, regular rewards will apply.
This is what Rockstar Games says: In the blog post the developers write, “… come back on Tuesday, November 22, when the heist event reaches its peak with a high-profile community challenge.”
In recent weeks, everything has revolved around the different heists in GTA Online. They yield you more money and cost less in preparations.
Players suspect that the challenge will be something similar to what we had two years ago. In 2020, Rockstar set the community the challenge to steal 100 billion GTA dollars. As a reward, the team then promised a free vehicle surprise.
Shortly thereafter, players could pick up the Brioso 300 for free in GTA Online – basically THE heist vehicle. It’s quite possible that this event will feature a similar challenge, where you can unlock a cool vehicle.

The Gulag is a dark place in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 where players have the chance to re-enter the game after their first death. However, it’s not easy to win the fight, so we will show you 3 tips on how to increase your chances of survival.
What is the Gulag? Every player, who has played Warzone 1 knows the Gulag. This place is located away from the Warzone. When you get killed in your match, you get another chance to fight your way back into the game. In the Gulag, the decisive fight for life and death takes place.
You do not enter this deathmatch alone. Together with another player, you will be sent into battle against an enemy duo team.
If your squad wins the shootout, both of you will be sent back into the match. If you lose the fight, you will be completely eliminated or can be brought back to life by teammates for 4,000 dollars.
The fight in the Gulag is harder than it looks, so we will show you our tips to help you come out of the fight safely.
1. Stick together
Together you are always stronger
How to survive best: The best tactic to get out of the Gulag alive is to stick together. Together as a duo, you can scour the individual cover spots and ensure that your opponents bite the dust with alternating fire – or you attack together for more damage.
If you are playing without a headset and forgo the Proximity Chat, then keep your eyes open and watch for your teammate. Often they run aimlessly into the enemy without warning. If this happens to you, follow your teammate and provide cover.
2. Use your tools
What tools are meant? You are not sent into the Gulag fight empty-handed. A sidearm and a grenade and a tactical grenade should support you in your battle. However, it is often forgotten that these tools are available.
If you run out of these, keep an eye out on the ground for new tools. Sometimes you can find Semtex and flash grenades that you can pick up and use.
If you are looking for the best weapons in Warzone 2, we have a list of setups:
How can patience help you? In the Gulag, there is a boss who runs the show and enjoys watching you fight. However, this boss is not known for his patience, because if you last too long in a Gulag fight, a Juggernaut intervenes.
This Juggernaut is not only heavily armored but also has a large rifle that can put you under the ground in no time. So if you can be quick, you can send this monster at your opponents while trying to weave to safety through cover.
If you kill the Juggernaut, all 4 players will return to the match, by the way. However, if the time runs out beforehand, all players lose.
What should I do if I survived the Gulag? First, give yourself a pat on the back because you are back in the race. After your victory, you will be brought back to the skies. Now you can decide where to land.
You should choose a rather remote spot with a few houses or structures where loot could be hiding. But do not expect strong weapons, as it may be that you are only getting the remnants from the bones now.
Now equipped, you should move carefully through the terrain. Enemies may have seen you from a distance and are likely just waiting behind a corner for an ambush. If you survive that and are not dead yet, the next win may not be far away.
How do you survive the Gulag? Do you have any tips you would like to share? Feel free to let us know your tactics and opinions in the comments!
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a brutal shooter where it’s all about kills – or is it? YouTuber “ThatFriendlyGuy” thinks differently and has reached Max Level 55 in less than 24 hours of gameplay without getting any kills. How is that even possible?
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, everyone is hunting for kills. Higher, further, better – or something like that. Even in game modes where kills are secondary to victory, casual Rambos rack up plenty of kills. This can often ruin the victory.
One wishes for teammates who focus more on the objective, collecting enemy tags in “Kill Confirmed”, holding the point in “Domination”, or at least checking the score briefly to see if they should help.
Sometimes it feels like these teammates do not exist. But YouTuber “ThatFriendlyGuy” proves: They do. Because he is the kind of teammate you wish for in every round with “Objective”, but never gets.
Fully motivated, he set to work, made a plan, and wanted to focus on the riot shield to protect himself from enemy fire. He quickly had to realize: Most gadgets that would have helped unlock only late – the shield only at level 37.
ThatFriendlyGuy recognized that “Kill Confirmed” and “Headquarters” are the best modes to gather the most XP as a pacifist in Call of Duty.
First, he acted as a ninja loot goblin, collecting tags from killed teammates and enemies in “Kill Confirmed”. For this, he “spot” enemies with binoculars – which earns points for spotting and when the spotted enemy is killed.
After unlocking the knife, his movement improved drastically and the decoy grenade was a “game changer” in terms of XP. Unfortunately, too many players know this:
After a tip from his community, he switched to the “Headquarters” mode. Here, you get many points for capturing the headquarters, and if you survive afterward, XP continuously stacks in your account.
With the unlocking of the riot shield, his playstyle changed completely. Now he could protect himself from fire, put pressure on enemies, and gather a lot of XP. He needed less than 24 hours of gameplay to reach level 55.
We’ll embed ThatFriendlyGuy’s English YouTube video here:

The South Korean Kim “Doinb” Tae-sang was at the height of his powers in League of Legends in 2019: With the Chinese team FunPlus Phoenix, he defeated G2 in the finals of the LoL Worlds in Paris and became world champion. Today, the 25-year-old shares his schedule from that time.
What has Doinb achieved?
Doinb was the outstanding player at the Worlds in League of Legends in 2019. He was regarded as a “Super-Carry,” someone who could carry his team to success.
Doinb played a wide variety of champions in the mid lane: He could totally dominate games or brilliantly set up his genius jungle partner Tian. There was simply no way to beat Doinb in 2019. The Europeans from G2 painfully learned this, as they were mercilessly defeated by him in the biggest game of their careers, the finals.
Moreover, Doinb had a great story to tell: He had actually given up on his career. Only his wife, whom he had just married, was able to convince him to continue. The image of his wife at the sidelines, cheering for her husband, went around the world.
6 hours a day of training games with the whole team
How is this being discussed? The background of the discussion is that players from the two major Asian regions, South Korea and China, are much more successful in international competitions than players from Europe and the USA.
Especially North Americans are criticized by fans for having too much private life and playing too little. “They pay too much attention to their work-life balance,” some fans complain.
The legend is:
The US pros lie on the couch after practice and munch chips
Teams in Asia expect professionals to continue training privately after team practice sessions, grind out their hours in solo queue, try out new champions, engage further with LoL, and perhaps even stream

The Life of Faker – Why He is a Living Legend
What is the problem with Doinb’s training method?Even Doinb’s training, with this insane time commitment, seems not to be the real deal that guarantees success, as Doinb only had this absolute peak in 2019.
Practically no player in LoL has managed to dominate consistently internationally since Faker in 2016. Even the best teams of one year often collapse the following year, losing players, suffering from burnout, or just not coping with a new meta.
Another player had to measure his gaming space perfectly with a ruler before he could play.
How is this being discussed? On Twitter, many players are astonished by the work ethic that Doinb displays. Many thought it was simply not feasible to complete more than 5 training matches a day.
For Western players, this workload seems unimaginable and apparently not desirable. A Twitter user says:
If I were a pro, I would play 8 hours of LoL, sleep 8 hours, and of course, do something else for 8 hours.
How hard the life of a LoL pro can be is evident from such stories:
For 8 years, Bungie has been developing the series Destiny: It was supposed to be a drastic break, with players losing all items from the first 3 years. But what kind of armor will be new to Destiny in December 2022? The old Iron Banner sets from 2015. Bungie comments on it with a wink. Fans are now happy about it.
This was the idea behind Destiny 2: After 3 years with Destiny 1, Bungie wanted a clean break. The story was: In a major attack by space turtles, players lose everything they had earned up to that point.
All the great exotic weapons, the cosmetic items that were purchased with real money in the shop, the meticulously assembled armor sets – all of that went up in smoke during the Cabal’s attack. That was the story’s direction, that was what the Bungie leaders wanted.
Players were supposed to start from scratch, developing a real hatred for the enemies. It also carried the promise: All the great items you’ve gathered over the last 3 years are gone – but now there’s also room for much new.
How is it in reality? It hasn’t gone so well. Over the years, Bungie has lost some resources, they no longer have as many support studios and probably not as many employees as from 2014 to 2017.
Moreover, Bungie notices that many players still cling to their memories from the past, and Bungie itself has probably burned through some of its best ideas in the early years.
Furthermore, player expectations for new content have continually risen: It never stopped, every 3 months players want new items in Destiny 2 as a reward for being so diligent.
Armor sets from 2015 are the new highlight of 2022
This is what’s new: With Season 19, armor rewards in the Iron Banner will be reintroduced, which were available in 2015 during “The Taken King.”
Especially the hunter set from back then, with the wolf head, is iconic: Even a toy was made from the armor.
Bungie sounds almost self-ironic at this point:
It has been about a year since we last renewed the armors in the Iron Banner. We have seen some wonderful ideas over the years. Inspiration from the past focuses on the appearance of a true warrior. This year, we bring back one of the favorite sets of the fans from an era of the Taken King.
We expect that they will be a “fun addition” to many sets in the game and are looking forward to your fashion statement in the next season’s Iron Banner.
At the same time, they also bring back the weapon “Rose, “ which is about three and a half years old.
The new Iron Banner set from 2022The old Iron Banner set from 2015.
The sharpness from recycling has worn off – Many accept it
How do the fans perceive this? It is now seen almost as a wink from Bungie. Apparently, there were some comments on Reddit about Destiny claiming that the armor from Destiny 1 was better than that from Destiny 2. Now Bungie simply brings it back, taking the wind out of the sails of the criticism.
Somehow, people have come to terms with the fact that Bungie is bringing back so much from previous years.
At the beginning of Destiny 2, this was viewed much more critically. People said: They had paid €60 for Bungie to take away their old stuff and now Bungie was selling them back pieces of their old stuff with new DLCs for lots of money:
People demanded that Bungie should come up with new things. Bungie was called the “master of recycling”, and people felt cheated out of their money.
In 2022, it sounds more like “nostalgia” and “the fan favorites from earlier days are back” – Bungie has managed to make it sound like they are listening to the players and giving them what they are missing so painfully.
Many critics who are bothered by this recycling policy have probably already moved on from Destiny.
The Callers of the Dracthyr in World of Warcraft are perfect for driving fellow players nuts. MeinMMO demon Cortyn reveals what makes the “Scalies” so nasty.
Actually, I was quite happy that not much was happening in World of Warcraft over the past weeks. I had time for other games and could take a little vacation from Azeroth. Since patch 10.0 I haven’t been able to warm up to the Shadow Priest anyway.
I don’t know exactly. It just doesn’t feel right anymore, I don’t like the new abilities, and I simply can’t understand some design decisions.
But then, on November 16th, the Dracthyr Callers were released. Like about 99% of my realm, I wanted to have the new class at level 60 right away and get into the talents.
No matter how you turn it, the Dracthyr Caller is the perfect class for trolling.
“Rescue” does everything, but surely saves no one
As you know, I am a huge fan of Faith Jump. A priest ability that allows you to pull allies to yourself. The downside is that teammates get used to it. They already see that I’m positioning my priestess in a dangerous spot and are thus forewarned.
Dracthyr can do something similar, only much better in every regard. Because they have the ability to skill “Rescue”:
Dive onto an ally and with them to the destination.
The spell has a range of 25 meters, but you can let allies cover distances of up to 50 meters when you maximize the range.
Even better: the spell works in vertical spaces as well. You can grab an ally and fly them up onto a pillar. Of course, you can also just park them in a fire area or the next boss ability.
And as if that weren’t enough, the spell apparently knows no “No path available” restriction. This means you can also shove your group members off cliffs and steep precipices from which they just slip away. While you gently glide down with wings, other classes crash down ungracefully and crumpled.
Actually, “Rescue” would already be enough to replace my beloved Faith Jump. But what could be better than simply being able to change a teammate’s position?
What that is became clear to me only when I clicked through the PvP talents, and my grin became so wide that it was hardly distinguishable from a Dracthyr maw.
The ability is called “Time Stop”:
Freezes the flow of time for an ally for 4 seconds. While they are frozen, they are invulnerable, cannot act, and auras do not progress. You can reactivate the ability to end the effect early.
And yes, my dear readers, it does exactly what you think it does.
Just freezing time for a moment. A great skill.
It is the power to hold allied players in place. They simply freeze. No matter whether they are falling, want to run away from a boss ability, or just want to fly beside you.
Since it is a PvP ability, it only works in the War Mode of the open world and PvP battlegrounds, but the “Nerve potential” is so immense.
Your friend wants to run from the auction house to the mailbox? Freeze them first.
A colleague just wants to catch the zeppelin that is leaving? Freeze them first.
In Alterac Valley, 10 Horde members are rushing towards your priest colleague who is panicking and screaming as they run away? Freeze them first.
Okay, in the last case, revenge was taken directly with a Faith Jump, and we both went to our deaths. But you understand what is possible with this ability.
Maybe these abilities will mean I have to visit dungeons alone soon, or my tank and healer will knock on my door to apply “Rescue” and “Time Stop” in real life.
But until then, I will continue to have fun with these abilities.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Cheaters are the biggest plague of CoD and in recent years the problem has worsened because more emphasis is placed on Free2Play content – like Call of Duty: Warzone 2. And against certain hardware, “RICOCHET” has little chance.
The first Warzone was for a time the absolute paradise for cheaters. The incredible success of the first free Battle Royale of CoD on PC and console was not planned, the cheat protection was accordingly significantly underdeveloped.
For almost 2 years, those responsible at Call of Duty worked on
The shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (Steam) has nerfed the sniper rifle AWP: The magazine now holds only 5 shots instead of 10 after a recent update. This is the biggest nerf of the iconic weapon since the release of the E-sport shooter CS:GO on Steam in 2012.
What kind of weapon is this? The AWP is the “Arctic Warfare Police,” a sniper rifle from the British manufacturer Accuracy International LTD, used by the police. It has a 24-inch barrel and uses 7.62×51 mm NATO ammunition.
How does the AWP work in the game? The AWP is a “High Risk, High Reward” weapon in CS:GO: With a cost of $4,750, it is one of the most expensive weapons in CS:GO, but it is also one of the most effective.
An experienced sniper can inflict devastating damage on the opposing team, securing two, three, or four kills in rapid succession.
This has led over the years to the “AWP” becoming one of the most critical weapons in PC gaming.
The Wikipedia page for Counter-Strike describes the weapon as a “devastatingly powerful long-range weapon with extreme accuracy and obscene stopping power.” However, the high price and the cumbersome play style required an enormous amount of training, accuracy, and experience to master the weapon (via cs-wiki).
AWP now only has 5 shots instead of 10 after patch – “So that every shot counts”
This is now the nerf: In the new patch from November 18th, the magazine size of the AWP was reduced from 10 to 5. The magazine has been halved.
According to Steam operator Valve: They want every shot to count.
“I was there when they nerfed the AWP”
What do the players say? They recognize the historical significance of the nerf.
On Reddit, a user screams: “I was there when they halved the magazine size of the AWP.”
Another says that this is “one of the moments” in the history of CS:GO.
Others joke that the weapon has only been nerfed now because the famous French AWP player “kennyS” has returned to the game after an 18-month break.
Has this happened before? The last significant change to the AWP was in 2015 when Valve restricted how quickly players could move while simultaneously looking through the AWP’s scope.
In Call of Duty: Warzone 2, you can gain certain advantages in combat thanks to perk packages, which enhance your chances of survival. Therefore, we show you 3 of the best perk packages and for which play style they are suitable.
What are perk packages? Since the release of Warzone 2, quite a bit has changed. Players still cannot customize their perks like in Warzone 1. Instead, there are perk packages that players can equip with pre-made combos.
Which are the best perk packages? In total, the developers offer you eight pre-made perk combos that you can equip. Each of them has its area of use, but there are three options that are particularly worthwhile, and those are:
Currently, there is only one perk package with the extra “Overkill” and the perks in the package are not among the strongest. If it’s worth it to you, you’ll still get 2 primary weapons with your loadout in the game – but not with all methods.
We will now explain which packages are good and which play styles they suit.
Vorhut – The Package for the Sprinters among you
The Vorhut Perks
For which player are these perks suitable? The Vorhut package is especially suitable for the rushers among you who enjoy fast-paced gameplay. “Eiltempo” and “Bombenkommando” ensure that you can sprint longer in tactical mode while also taking more damage from explosive weapons from all sources except killstreaks.
“Nachschub” provides you with an additional primary equipment slot (grenades), and “Alarmiert” indicates in your field of view whether an enemy is nearby – they must, however, see you.
Essentially, you are very mobile with the perks and can partially ignore grenade fire. Additionally, you have an advantage towards the end of your matches, as it allows you to see more easily where your opponents are staring at you.
Spectre – The Package for the Ninjas among you
The Spectre Perks
For which player are these perks suitable? This package is primarily suitable for the players among you who enjoy sneaking and tracking their opponents. “Eiltempo” increases the duration of your tactical sprint while “Spurenleser” marks footprints left by enemies near you. Additionally, the death locations of foes are marked.
On top of that, “Kundschafter” shows you through walls where enemy equipment, field equipment, and killstreaks are located. This way, you can recognize C4 charges or claymores and avoid them.
Finally, “Geist” ensures that you cannot be detected by drones, portable radars, and heartbeat sensors. You remain almost invisible in every respect – even if Geist might not be as strong as you think.
Wächter – The Package for the Campers among you
The Wächter Perks
For which player are these perks suitable? The Wächter package is especially beneficial for the campers among you. “Kampfgestählt” provides the necessary resistance against flash, EMP, and gas grenades, while “Bombenkommando” reduces the explosive damage you sustain. This is especially useful against the anti-camper gadget.
To avoid detection, “Kaltblütig” ensures that players with AI targeting systems and thermal scopes cannot locate you. Soldiers equipped with the perk “Alarmiert” also do not receive an alert when you look at your opponents.
Finally, “Übertakten” gives you tactical advantages as you can recharge your field equipment and store an additional charge.
Will there be custom perk packages in the future? We cannot answer that yet. However, we assume that the developers might implement this feature at a later time. There was actually an announcement before the release that there would be no perks at launch.
Warzone 1 had been able to impress with extensive customization options for perks, and their release in Warzone 2 is very likely.
Do you agree with us? Which perk packages do you like the most and which tactics do you use them for? Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments!
Have you wondered how to detonate a nuke in Warzone 2? We have an explanation for that:
In Call of Duty: Warzone 2, a new mechanic allows illegal agreements. This can be particularly frustrating in solo mode – or a goldmine for kills.
What mechanic is being discussed? Call of Duty: Warzone 2 features a proximity chat. When you are in a team, you can always hear each other in the in-game chat. If you now get too close to opponents, you might also hear them – and they can hear you.
Because chatty players can team up and fight together against the rest of the lobby. Only at the end does it come to the agreed showdown or the betrayal of a “team member”.
However, it doesn’t always go smoothly for such mega-teams, as a clip on Reddit shows:
The next Community Days of Pokémon GO in December 2022, January 2023, and February 2023 have been revealed along with their dates. We will show you which dates you need to remember.
Confirmed by Niantic: In a new blog post, the team of Pokémon GO showed the dates for the upcoming Community Day events. The last Community Day took place in November during the Season of Light. A new season starts on December 1.
We will show you the confirmed dates in an overview. Additionally, the team revealed more dates on which events will be held. So, pull out your calendar!
Community Day in December 2022 – Contents
When is Community Day in December 2022? From December 17 to December 18. The event takes place over two days.
What will happen? During the event, you will have the opportunity to catch all Community Day Pokémon from the years 2021 and 2022. These are:
When are the dates in January? In January 2023, there are again two dates for you. One for the normal variant of the event and one for the Classic variant of the event. In the Classic version, a Pokémon that has previously been featured in such an event will be the focus.
On January 7, 2023 (Saturday) the normal Community Day will take place
On January 21, 2023 (Saturday) the Community Day Classic will take place
When is the date in February? In February there is no Classic date, but there is a normal one.
On February 5, 2023 (Sunday) the normal Community Day will take place
Events in December 2022
This is known:In November, you can expect these events. But besides the Community Days, Niantic revealed other dates that you can expect in the new season. It starts on December 1 and will be active for three months. Among other things, these dates are interesting in December:
Saturday, December 3, 2022
Saturday, December 10 to Sunday, December 11, 2022
Saturday, December 24 to Sunday, December 25, 2022
What will happen on these dates is still unclear. “Shortly” further information about the C-Day in December and the other events will follow.
Throne and Liberty is considered by many to be the most promising MMORPG set to be released in 2023. During the Korean gaming fair G-Star, new details have now been revealed. It concerns PvE, PvP, server structures, and the global release.
What was revealed? The most significant information revolves around the game version. While Lost Ark and Blade & Soul have updates that can take months to years apart between Korea and Europe, Throne and Liberty is supposed to keep a uniform version worldwide.
There will be dedicated servers and different language options for each region, but the game version with all content and balance is intended to be identical.
There are also new details about the server structure. Each server is expected to accommodate around 3,000 to 5,000 players. This makes them slightly larger than New World, but significantly smaller than Lost Ark. Around 20,000 players can fit onto one server there.
No new gameplay was shown at the fair. Therefore, we have embedded the old trailer for you:

New MMORPG Hope from Korea Finally Shows a Lot of Gameplay in New Trailer
The game world divides into Challenges (PvE) and Competitions (PvP)
What was revealed about the game world? Throne and Liberty features an open game world where you can find PvE instances that you enter with your group. The transition is meant to be smooth and without loading screens.
The open world will, however, offer both PvE and PvP:
PvE challenges are referred to as Challenges. This includes major world bosses that can only be defeated with multiple players.
The Competitions in PvP revolve around capturing certain objects in the world. There are smaller objectives, but also large sieges for outposts that guilds can claim.
The entire world is equipped with a “Memorial” system. This is intended to allow players to adapt dynamically. For example, those who run through a starting area can be dynamically downscaled, making the content more challenging but also more rewarding. This way, endgame content can also take place in the starting zones. The system loosely resembles GW2 or ESO.
In the open world, there will also be random events that affect the area. These will be displayed on the map, and there is also an outlook on events coming in the next hours.
In the presentation, a “Wolf Hunt Tournament” was shown. It displays over the players’ heads how many wolf tails they have collected. However, PvP is active, and if you are defeated, you lose exactly those wolf tails and someone else can pick them up.
However, you will not lose any items if you are killed in PvP.
We have embedded four images from the Throne and Liberty presentation at G-Star for you:
A weapon is the bow.The battle for a castle.The Memorial system.A world boss shown in the presentation.
Time of day and weather influence effects
What was revealed about the weather system? In the game world, it is day for 4 hours straight and night for one hour. This cycle repeats after five real hours. All players on the server always have the same time of day and the same weather.
However, there is a special bonus for the best PvP player of the respective server. That player is said to have the power to change the time of day by 10 minutes forward or backward twice a day.
The weather, on the other hand, cannot be influenced, but it directly affects your abilities:
Strong winds make arrows fly faster and deal more damage.
Lightning skills hit more targets in the rain.
Rain can also block certain paths in the game, for example, because they become flooded.
The balance of weather should be about 8:2 in favor of sunshine. However, wind can occur in both rain and sunshine. Weather should also influence the strength of boss monsters in PvE.
What else was revealed? The presentation showed the Skill Grappling Hook, which allows players to overcome larger abysses or climb a vantage point faster.
Additionally, animal forms were discussed, which you can use to move faster instead of mounts or flying creatures. This is because the weather is also said to affect the animals. Good weather can increase health regeneration in animal form.
Where did the information come from? There was a presentation by NCSoft during G-Star 2022. However, it was only in Korean. We based our summary on Ruliweb, a Korean site. Additionally, there was a livestream on YouTube in which a Korean streamer translated the information live into English.
Throne and Liberty is set to be released in 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S
The release was initially scheduled for 2022; however, there were issues with a western partner for the game. Therefore, it was postponed to 2023. The release is planned for PC and the most common consoles. A mobile version is not planned at this time.
We have summarized more about Throne and Liberty and its development history here:
The Limited Research on the Safari Zone in Singapore is running in Pokémon GO. We show you all tasks and rewards in the overview.
What kind of research is this? A large event for the Safari Zone is taking place in Singapore, which trainers on-site can participate in. However, the Niantic team wants to celebrate with players around the world and has activated a global Limited Research for this reason.
When is the research available? From Saturday, November 19 at 08:00 to Sunday, November 20 at 20:00, the Limited Research is active. The tasks must be completed within this time frame, and rewards must be collected if you are interested.
Limited Research: Safari Zone Singapore 2022
Task
Reward
Explore 1 kilometer
Encounter with Felilou
Explore 2 kilometers
Encounter with Felilou
Explore 3 kilometers
Encounter with Felilou
Explore 4 kilometers
Encounter with Felilou
Explore 5 kilometers
Encounter with Felilou
By “Explore,” it means that you should cover the kilometers. So walk 5 kilometers to complete the tasks.
Completion Reward: If you successfully complete all tasks and collect the corresponding Felilou encounters, you will additionally receive 1,000 XP, 1,000 Stardust, and another encounter with Felilou.
Is there a Shiny Felilou? Yes, the new Safari Zone in Singapore brings the debut of Shiny Felilou. If you’re lucky, you might encounter one during these tasks.
Felilou and Kleoparda as Normal version and as Shiny in comparison
In the community, the Limited Research is received moderately well. Some are happy to get encounters with little effort. Others would have preferred it if the spawns of Felilou had simply been increased in the wild.
There are occasional drops with the servers – lags, high pings in matches or sometimes you cannot connect to the lobby.
So far, however, the servers have always calmed down after a while. No reports from the developers regarding the server situation found.
We will list a few workarounds under the reading recommendations in case of errors with the game. You can check the general server status here: via support.activision.com
If your download is progressing slowly, check in the launcher menu under “Settings” and “Download” whether you have capped your download speed:
If you haven’t capped anything here, it could also be the servers. Blizzard confirmed on the evening of the Warzone release via Twitter that the downloads were restricted server-side – in some cases, they were even completely suspended:

Currently, only a few reports about server disruptions can be found, everything is running smoothly with us. However, there is other news: The first nuke was detonated in Warzone 2:
The servers may already be reaching their limits. There are reports that voice chat in MW2 doesn’t work properly and that there are strong lags in Warzone again.
During our test, we were, however, able to log in without any problems and start a battle royale. The ping also looked reasonable.
Still no official word about the servers.
17:25
Currently, the servers are stable, there are few reports of server disruptions and we were also able to log into the game without issues. Our ping also remains stable at the startup of a match.
15:40
There are already initial reports of problems with logging into Warzone 2. Expect some jittery servers again tonight.
Still no reports from the developers regarding the server situation.
13:55
After there were constant problems in our server region yesterday, it continued in the American region. We didn’t notice so many reports of server disruptions before.
Therefore, we expect some difficulties again tonight – especially during peak times between 20:00 and 22:00. During this period, the servers were the most unstable in the last days.
Thursday, 17.11.2022
22:30
There are still sporadic players with server issues, but the worst seems to be over for today. We still couldn’t find any official announcements regarding the bumpy evening.
If you still have problems, keep trying with the game connection and check out some of our workarounds.
21:55
Still no word from the developers regarding the partly difficult server situation this evening. The situation seems to have eased up a bit now. Keep trying with the game connection and take a look at some of our workarounds for problems.
21:20
Occasionally, there are small server drops, but matches are happening – Warzone is not down.
20:40
The servers are apparently losing stability increasingly at the moment. The ping in matches can rise or you can’t get into the game at all.
About 20 minutes ago, there was a small update from the developers, possibly the problems are related to that. However, it could also be server overload during peak times.
20:30
Currently, there are again increased reports of server problems. But still no announcement from the developers on that. However, there was a small fix for squad displays.

Currently, there are no reports of disruptions with the servers – in the middle of the week around lunchtime, however, not as many players are online in our server region as in the evening.
If you still have problems, you can find possible workarounds among the reading recommendations.
The first players are going offline after the release and the server situation is easing. If you still have connection problems with the game, try it a few times and restart your devices too. There was no word from official sources on the server status today.
We at MeinMMO wish you a lag-free rest of the evening.
21:49
Still no word on the struggling servers from official sources. We took the time to analyze the patch notes for Season 1. Here are all the balance adjustments:
Many players continue to report problems with the servers and/or having connection issues with matches. No feedback from the developers on this yet.
20:31
Although the connection to the game sometimes takes a while and the ping can go up at the start of a match, most seem to be getting into the game. The servers are shaky but holding up relatively well.
No announcement from the developers regarding the server status yet.
19:51
Despite server instability, the first playlist update has already arrived, bringing a few new modes to Warzone 2. The following modes are now playable:
Battle Royale Solo
Battle Royale Duos
Crazy-BR Trios
Battle Royale Squads of 4
3rd Person BR – Trios
19:34
Still no word on the shaky servers. Apparently, this is also related to the high number of players in the match. The fewer people left in the match, the better the ping.
19:13
No announcement regarding the bumpy servers shortly after release yet. Some games are stable, while in others players seem to stutter around. Warzone 2 is playable but experiencing occasional drops.
18:55
Currently, there are also problems with the friends lists – they are not loading correctly or you are being thrown back to the menu.
However, there is a trick: Open the menu at the top right and click on the icon with the headphones “Channels”. Create a channel, invite your friends here, and then you can join each other again.

By the way, there are nukes in Warzone, which can decide the match in your favor. The big YouTuber “TimTheTatman” has already unlocked one… well almost:

However, the patch notes for Season 1 are now online. You can view the English version here: via infinityward.com.
17:55
When entering the game, the ping goes high above 100ms. At the start of the match, it goes down again a bit, but the servers are showing signs of stress. Currently, however, it is still possible to play without any issues.

Shortly after release, we have no problems starting a game. The ping is stable, and the gameplay is smooth. Let’s hope it stays that way!
Here’s our first screenshot of the sky over Al Mazrah:
17:00
Just recommended the New Zealand trick, and now Warzone 2 is also online in Germany! At launch, you’ll only find the one playlist for 4 players – it was very similar at the launch of the first Warzone, but it was 3 players then.
Warzone 2 is already online in some regions – but not in Germany. If you want to get some gameplay, many streamers are already live on Twitch – via twitch.com.
15:36
Shortly after the start of the new Season 1, the servers are acting up. However, it seems to be just minor problems with logging in. No reports of larger disruptions yet.
15:24
The Season 1 of Modern Warfare 2 went online significantly earlier than planned and is already available. Battle Pass, prestige system, multiplayer statistics – everything is already available. A quick overview of Season 1 is available here.
There are also rumors that Warzone 2 could also come early. We are keeping an eye on that, but at the moment, it is not available yet.
15:16
Shortly before the official start of Season 1 at 19:00 on November 16, you can level up beyond level 55. However, the prestige system is probably not fully online yet. So do not be surprised that you do not yet have access to the prestige content.
On PlayStation and Xbox consoles, there may be occasional problems with the download. You might get a message saying “Something went wrong” or a hint that the multiplayer has not been installed.
Then go to the menu of the individual game components and delete all parts except the main game. Reinstall the individual game components.
Through the new data from the season update, data miners are again finding many interesting things for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. Three football star operators (Messi, Neymar, Pogba) are coming throughout November – this was already known.
However, there is also a stadium in the game again. It is still unclear whether this belongs to MW2 or WZ2:
We are regularly posting information about the release of Warzone 2 for you here in the ticker. Should anything change or if there are new updates from the developers, you will find all the important information here. In addition, we will keep an eye on the servers when it starts at 19:00.
Important: If you completed the preload of Warzone 2 on November 15, you still need to download an update now. Check if you have the right version; otherwise, you’ll be facing a big patch at release this evening.
We are embedding the launch trailer of Warzone here:

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 – Launch Trailer
How did the release of Modern Warfare 2 go? The first days and the release weekend were bumpy. While it was possible to play, there were repeated disconnections and crashes.
Especially on PC and when playing with a group, there were problems. We have put together a guide in case you also encounter crashes during the Warzone release:
From now on, there are Nukes in Call of Duty: Warzone 2! If you complete a mission, you can blow up the entire map and decide the Battle Royale for yourself. We show you the clip of the world’s first Nuke and the process of the mission on MeinMMO.
Nukes are the ultimate reward for strong gameplay in Call of Duty. In the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2, you need to get 30 kills in a row without dying to unlock the “Atomic Bomb”.
After activation, a countdown begins, after which there’s a bang and victory for your team – no matter what the score looks like.
What do you need to do to get the Nuke? As of now, the Nukes have an event character – it’s not possible to grab the Mega Killstreak in every match.
Currently, it is suspected that you might need a win streak of 5 victories in a row to trigger the contract.
The mission is called “Champions Quest” and you will receive a big announcement when the quest is activated. Then the following symbols appear on the map:
To start the mission, you need 3 components to assemble the Nuke. They are scattered all over the map, so you will be moving around a lot.
Once you have the first component in your inventory, opponents will see you on the map. With each additional component, you have greater disadvantages – the second inflicts damage on the player holding it and other nearby team members. The last component disrupts the map.
Once you have collected all of them, the event “Prison Break” starts – all players who are down but still in the match come back into the game. Conversely, if you notice that the Nuke is about to be detonated, stay in the match if you go down. You will come back and can take revenge.
You will only learn the location of the Nuke at the start of the 4th gas circle. You need to insert the components, arm the bomb for what feels like an eternity, and protect the bomb site. At least the negative effects of the components disappear now.
Now the bomb site is visible on the map and other players can defuse the Nuke. The timer runs for 2 minutes and then the entire map blows up: for your victory.

New changes to the Legendary Armor Sets: Xur now seems to sell not just one but two old armor sets each week. This week you can purchase both the Dubious Dagger Armor Set and the Pathfinder Set from him.

The exotic Scout Rifle “Tale of a Dead Man” (Beyond Light) with the perk “Snapshot Sights”
This is what the weapons cost: For these two Exotics, the costs are each 1 Ascendant Shard, 1 Exotic Cipher, 125,000 Glimmer, and 200 Legendary Shards.
This is what Xur always has in stock: You can always get an Exotic Engram for 97 Legendary Shards from Xur, as well as the weekly quest to obtain an exotic cipher.
Lord Saladin lets the wolves howl one last time in Season 18
Lord Saladin is waiting for you at the Tower in the Last City.
This weekend, there are no Trials taking place as the Iron Banner is active. Instead of sweating for the 14th Saint, you can play a modified version of the former team deathmatch mode “Clash” with Lord Saladin. Just like in “Clash,” you also earn points in “Outbreak” for each of your kills and start to glow, marking you for everyone on the map. Only if you continue to kill can you prove yourself as a worthy wolf.
Complete Iron Banner challenges to earn Engrams and get top loot.
Kills give you and your team ability energy. This increases if you manage to take out a series of opponents without dying. Assists count too.
The first kill grants you only a small amount of ability energy.
Your second kill without dying grants you the buff “Charging.” You start to glow. From now on, every kill is worth 3 points and you also gain +10% Super energy and +20% Grenade, Melee, and Class ability energy.
If you get your fifth kill without dying, you buff yourself as “Ready.” Now your Guardian shines brightly, your position is marked for your team, and the hunt is on.
