Twitch streamer is stressed with the ex, blocks credit card, explains: “I don’t want to be a DPS, but a healer”

Lydia Lydia Reading time 3 minutes

Former Overwatch pro Félix “xQc” Lengyel (26) is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. He often streams for several hours a day, so it seems there isn’t always time for a private life off-camera. He recently tried to explain his relationship chaos to his viewers and used a quirky gaming metaphor for that.

What kind of relationship was it? Since 2021, xQc has been in a relationship with the streamer Sammy, also known as Adeptthebest. In September 2022, he made the breakup public, even though she had requested privacy, which led to a very public dispute.

As it turned out, xQc’s expensive luxury car was registered in Adept’s name, as he does not have a driver’s license himself. In a stream on November 15, xQc responded to a post about the unclear ownership of his car and tried to explain his relationship situation.

Ex-girlfriend apparently had access to credit cards

What post was it about? The post xQc responded to was a photo that Adept had posted of one of his cars. Numerous Reddit users mocked that his ex-girlfriend was in possession of his cars, but couldn’t afford the repair costs.

xQc responded by explaining that he had already blocked his credit cards. The streamer asked if that made him a bad person. A clip of this statement made its way back to the LivestreamFail subreddit, the largest streaming community on Reddit.

In the subreddit, xQc came across the recording the next day and tried to explain the situation.

How did xQc react? The streamer seems increasingly frustrated with the cycle of constantly fighting against rumors, only for new speculations and mockery to arise under his reactions.

I will be honest. I had one of them blocked already because… I am done. You know what? I’m not even gonna fight this damn stuff anymore. I’m done fighting against it.

After xQc had strived to remain neutral to positive so far, he now had enough of going on the defensive, the streamer said.

I’m done defending. I am fucking done… you know what? I’m done being the fucking neutral/positive force. Okay? I was never that. I will never be that. Okay? I tried to do my best in every situation. I’m over it, sorry. Okay, yes. I did that. I don’t care.

How does xQc see his role in the relationship chaos? Apparently, xQc does not want to constantly justify how he deals with his breakup. However, he also does not want to end up hurting others.

This seems to come out at least from the gaming analogy xQc used to end the discussion:

I don’t want to be a DPS (Damage Per Second). Okay? I just want to play the game, no matter what role. Okay? But at the moment, I need a healer. I pick a healer and heal myself. I’m doing fine on my own right now.

Especially in the last part, attentive xQc viewers might have become alert. Because the streamer is actually not alone: At the beginning of November, he confirmed that he was dating streamer NYYXXII.

Phone call between ex-girlfriend and new partner leads to breakup

What is the current situation? xQc has indeed confirmed that he is no longer with the English streamer NYYXXII. Apparently, he had invited his ex-girlfriend Adept over to talk about the situation with his car and his new relationship.

Adept then accused him of cheating on her. However, xQc insists that there was no overlap between the two women, even though the relationships seemed to come very closely together.

I said: “Okay, but I didn’t do that.” You could say it was a close call, I guess. There were two days in between, okay? And then she thought that I might have cheated on her. And I have nothing to hide, damn it.

xQc then gave Adept his phone to show her that he had nothing to hide. However, she used the phone to call NYYXXII and explain to her that xQc was lying to her.

The phone call apparently was not the only reason for the breakup, but it seemed to have contributed. So far, neither Adept nor NYYXXII have commented on xQc’s latest statements.

More Twitch news on MeinMMO:

If xQc is not currently justifying his relationship, then it’s for not paying the moderators in his chat. In a stream with rising Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, he explained the decision and gave creative reasons as to why the mods should rather work out of passion.

New survival game on Steam mixes RPG with crafting – “As if Genshin and Valheim had a baby”

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 4 minutes

On November 17, 2022, there was an Early Access release of Frozen Flame, a survival RPG with co-op and building elements, on Steam. The game combines various gameplay elements reminiscent of well-known titles.

What is Frozen Flame about? The setting is Arcana, a land that was once ruled by dragons. However, there was a curse that plagued the land, and since then, the world has been dying. The Faceless brings destruction upon the world and threatens to freeze Arcana in eternal ice.

You must equip yourselves with resources and gather powers to join your allies in the fight against the Faceless, reclaim the Citadel from his rule, and save Arcana.

Here you can see the gameplay trailer of Frozen Flame:

Frozen Flame – Gameplay Trailer

Exploring the Game World, Surviving, and Crafting

What does the gameplay in Frozen Flame look like? The game provides a world to discover and explore. There are puzzles to solve and secrets to unveil. You collect the knowledge of your ancestors and take on their special abilities.

There are monsters in the ruins that you can fight, and huge creatures roam the game world from which you can obtain loot.

Here you can see some insights into Frozen Flame

A major aspect of the game is crafting. You build a fortress where you and your allies can seek shelter and store your resources. Because in the world of Arcana, it can get uncomfortable, and you need a safe haven.

You can also create your own items to equip your character. And as you progress through the game, you unlock additional upgrades and abilities to become stronger.

What do the players think of Frozen Flame? Currently, the game is rated as “balanced” by Steam users. It should be noted that at the time of writing the article, the game had been on Steam for just one day. Accordingly, there are only few ratings with 414 reviews. Currently, 60% of them are positive (as of November 18, 2022, via Steam).

More about new games on Steam can be found here:

What do players say in the reviews? Many players see the game as a decent early access title where they have already had fun playing coop.

Overall, the game world and design are praised, and for some users, the game works technically perfectly, according to their statements.

One player also notices the blend of different elements in the game. User Kiba comments: “As if Genshin/Conan and Valheim had a baby. It’s been fun so far. Let’s see what the future brings”.

A point of criticism that has come up several times is the relatively high price of Frozen Flame and the still somewhat limited scope of game content.

An interesting game for co-op. A bright, colorful world. Many places to explore.
Fans of survival games and co-op will definitely enjoy it.

What made me a bit sad:

  • the high price at the beginning
  • Co-op for 4 people (in my opinion this is often completely sufficient), but if you want more people in your group, you have to rent a server for a fee
User VooDoo via Steam

Negative comments contradict the statement in the positive reviews that the game works flawlessly. Players say the game crashes for them or is full of bugs. Some also feel the game is “not finished enough yet”.

How much does Frozen Flame cost on Steam? Currently, the game is on an introductory offer and is reduced by 15%. Instead of €29.99, you currently pay €25.49. The special offer runs until November 24.

Here you can also find a strategy game on Steam that lets you fight as a military against giant monsters.

17-year-old YouTuber with huge reach wants to promote a crypto game to fans – Deal over 10 million $ falls through

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

The only 17-year-old American Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins is a phenomenon on the internet. He has over 13 million subscribers on YouTube, his song for the World Cup reached 19 million views, and he is huge on TikTok as well. But he keeps messing up quite a bit: In a stream on November 16, he announced that he would be giving away PlayStation 5 consoles and meeting Cristiano Ronaldo, but in reality, he ended up promoting a cryptocurrency advertisement that went quite wrong.

What makes IShowSpeed stand out? IShowSpeed has stood out for two reasons:

  • He has extreme success. In a very short time, he managed to gain over 10 million subscribers on YouTube with his wild content mix. He played games, rapped, talked about soccer, and showed his lifestyle. He fueled his rise on YouTube with short clips on TikTok.
  • At the same time, IShowSpeed often trips up: He yelled at a female player with sexism, barked at a little boy in Fortnite or accidentally leaked the phone number of a soccer professional from FC Bayern. And that was just a small snippet; almost weekly, something goes wrong for him.

His fans often defend IShowSpeed by saying that he is very young and is only critically viewed because he is black, while many of his critics are white. IShowSpeed himself repeatedly says: Yes, he makes mistakes. But he is also very young and still learning.

IShowSpeed says he wants to give away PS5 and meet Ronaldo

What went wrong this time? On November 16, IShowSpeed was once again seen in a two-hour live stream on YouTube, where he had a number of PlayStation 5 consoles set up in a room for a giveaway. Additionally, he wanted to meet “his idol”, Cristiano Ronaldo, in the stream (via youtube).

To show the immense popularity of IShowSpeed. A Twitter clip where he meets the wrong Cristiano Ronaldo has over 4.4 million views:

However, fans reacted negatively when they realized that the streamer was promoting the “Paradox Metaverse” with some guests, an open-world adventure game where users can earn a cryptocurrency called “Paradox Coin”.

IShowSpeed was apparently paid to run this advertisement.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo turned out to be a look-alike wearing a “Buy Paradox Crypto” t-shirt.

Some viewers apparently felt that they were lured into the stream with the promise of a PS5 and were now supposed to be sold something.

Viewers shout “Fraud” and “Sellout”

What was the reaction? Some users criticized the YouTuber for this advertisement – he, however, did not respond very gracefully and had critics banned:

“Mods, do something because it pisses me off, bro,” he said. “Calm the hell down, dog. Honestly, you are getting on my nerves, bro.”

He apparently felt personally attacked by the criticism:

The fact that you think that of me at all. I don’t know if you are all trolls or not, but just the fact that you think that of me is kind of messed up. It kind of hurts me.

What happened next? A day later, on November 17, IShowSpeed apparently changed his mind. Now he apologized to his fans for promoting the cryptocurrency. Although it did not really sound like an apology:

You all don’t know what I do for you, bro. Let me put it this way: I do so much stuff for you, bro. Now I made a mistake. You know: I’m not that smart. I’m being honest. But as I go on, I’m going to get smarter and smarter.

What happened with the cryptocurrency was a “small mistake” that he wished he had never made. But he is not a fraud. He would never do that.

YouTuber takes apart the whole issue with glee as an expert

What was the fraud? The YouTuber “Coffeezilla” specializes in such cryptocurrencies. In a 14-minute video, he investigated the incident. He explains that users in the chat denounced the crypto coin as a “fraud” and called IShowSpeed a “sellout,” as someone who sells out for money to a bad cause.

Coffeezilla explains: The situation became so uncomfortable for Speed that he muted his microphone to discuss the situation internally. But it wasn’t really muted, and so fans could hear Speed calling in mods to delete the scam accusations and looking quite puzzled during the action, even though he assured the partners: “I know what I’m doing.”

In the conversation, which was audible despite the mute, it came out that the “project” apparently involved 10 million dollars, which IShowSpeed was apparently to be involved in. The advertisement was, however, disturbed by the chat, which constantly spoke of “fraud”:

The fraud expert Coffeezilla, on the other hand, has great fun dismantling the phenomenon “Paradox Metaverse” over 10 minutes and presenting it as a blatant scam, which he easily rips apart in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers:

  • The studio calls itself an indie studio, yet their game is labeled as an “AAA” project – that is ridiculous.
  • The graphics of the game look like something from “PlayStation 2” times – if you give away a PS5 there, it shows only how bad your game looks.
  • The company’s charts are complicated only to conceal that a pyramid scheme is hidden behind it, in which no one should invest.
  • In the stream, he confronts the makers of the game and verbally assaults them for the audacity to come into his stream and talk such nonsense.

YouTuber Coffeezilla delights in dissecting the misstep.

Coffeezilla is royally amused that the children and teenagers who usually watch IShowSpeed are so clever to see through the scam immediately and confront the YouTuber publicly about it. If even kids can see through such a scam so quickly, it must be pretty bad.

According to Coffeezilla, the fraud could only be more obvious if “IShowSpeed” had renamed himself “IShowScams”.

For influencers, such deals with “cryptocurrencies” are apparently a lucrative business but also a dangerous one:

FIFA 23: Reporter lets the AI simulate the Football World Cup 10 times – This is the result

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

A French reporter has simulated the upcoming World Cup 10 times using FIFA 23. Which team is most likely to become the world champion according to the simulations? You can find out here.

What is this simulation? In the new World Cup mode of FIFA 23, there is the option to play the complete World Cup either online or offline against the AI.

But instead of playing yourself, you can have FIFA 23 simply simulate the matches (in offline mode). To do this, you just start the tournament with any nation, click on “Play Match,” and then select “Simulate.” Now the game calculates a winner and displays it along with the result after a short time.

You then repeat this for each individual game until the final. And just like that, you’ve simulated the entire World Cup. This is exactly what French journalist Warial from Jeuxvideo did. He had the AI simulate the World Cup 10 times.

Start video
FIFA 23 disappoints fans with the new World Cup mode so much that they want to return to the 2014 version

The results of the simulations name a clear world champion

Here’s how the simulations from Jeuxvideo went: In the 10 World Cups simulated by the reporter, there are no major surprises among the favorites. Brazil, France, and Spain each win the simulated tournaments twice. However, Argentina wins the most frequently with 3 simulated World Cup victories.

You can view the results here:

  • 1. Argentina: 30% (3 wins)
  • 2. Brazil: 20% (2 wins)
  • 3. France: 20% (2 wins)
  • 4. Spain: 20% (2 wins)
  • 5. England: 10% (1 win)

Is the prediction realistic? A World Cup title for Argentina is generally not unrealistic, as the South Americans definitely enter the tournament as favorites. They recently won the Copa América and have an extremely strong squad.

Moreover, Lionel Messi should be highly motivated, as it is probably his last chance at a World Cup title.

More about FIFA 23 on MeinMMO:

Where is Germany? In the 10 simulations by Warial, Germany did not achieve a single victory. However, it should be noted that at the time of the simulations, the final World Cup squads were not yet represented in the game. For Brazil, Argentina, and France, this shouldn’t make such a big difference.

However, if Germany had already integrated Double-POTM Füllkrug and Moukoko, the results might look quite different.

That FIFA simulations can be quite realistic is proven by EA Sports itself. The developer studio behind the FIFA series has simulated the last 3 World Cups before the tournament started and was always correct. They predicted the correct world champion 3 times and have now also made a prediction with Argentina again:

FIFA 23 already knows who will become world champion – EA has been correct for 12 years, but fans find mistakes

Pokémon GO: Only avatar items at the release of Scarlet? Trainers say “have patience”

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The release of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet will also be celebrated in Pokémon GO. But initially, it’s still a bit restrained. However, trainers say that you might need patience.

Why is there a celebration? Today, on November 18, the new Pokémon games Scarlet and Violet have been released. This is celebrated in the game’s cosmos, and Niantic has come up with something for the mobile game as well. However, trainers are not particularly impressed.

Currently, you can get free avatar items to celebrate the release. We will show you what they look like, what trainers are saying about them, and why even more might come.

Outfits for the celebration – is there more coming?

These are the outfits: If you want, you can now get free outfits in the Pokémon GO shop and dress your avatar with them. Niantic already showcased the clothing in a preview image:

Pokémon GO Outfit Scarlet Violet

You can choose from items like shoes, hats, or complete outfits.

These outfits are designed in the style of the main characters from Violet and Scarlet. If you want them, you should hurry. It is unclear how long they will be available in the shop.

This is how trainers are reacting: On social media, there are a few trainers who are very excited about the outfits. However, many are wondering if that’s all there is. User chatchan asks on reddit: “No new Pokémon, just clothing? Wow”.

User Furryboh asks whether an announcement was really necessary for the avatar clothing.

Another trainer still has hope: krispyboiz writes that Niantic has never announced the event bonuses for new Pokémon games beforehand:

Thus, krispyboiz concludes: “I wouldn’t complain yet.”

This implies that the Pokémon suddenly appeared in the game and were not previously confirmed by an official announcement from Niantic. Possibly, the release of Scarlet and Violet will bring more surprises to Pokémon GO.

More about Pokémon GO

We will keep an eye on the game today and in the coming days to see if surprising content gets activated.

If something happens, you can read about it here on MeinMMO soon, and we will show you what’s new. If nothing else happens, at least you have a few new clothing items.

CoD MW2 & Warzone 2: Prestige system explained – All about emblems, rewards, and activation

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 und Warzone 2 exists a new Prestige system, with which players can adorn their account. We will show you how to activate it, what rewards you get, and what emblems are available.

Update, November 18: The first season is live, and the Prestige system works as it should.

How do I activate Prestige now? Prestige is activated differently in MW2 and Warzone 2 than previously known. Players no longer receive temporary levels that are reset every season.

Your Prestige thus remains consistent across upcoming seasons and can be earned at your own pace. With the new system, you won’t miss anything and are no longer pressed for time. Now, let’s move on to the emblems.

What emblems and Prestige are there? The developers offer you in Season 1 a total of five levels for Prestige. These must be earned through achieved ranks. Here are the levels needed for the following Prestige:

  • Prestige 1 – Level 55
  • Prestige 2 – Level 100
  • Prestige 3 – Level 150
  • Prestige 4 – Level 200
  • Prestige 5 – Level 250 (Last Prestige for Season 1 and also the level cap)
CoD-MW2-Warzone-2-Prestige
You can see the Prestige emblems in our embedded image.

What rewards are there for each Prestige? When you achieve a Prestige, you automatically unlock the corresponding emblem. Additionally, you will receive further challenges and rewards that the developers have not detailed.

If you complete and pass the challenges, you will receive a special business card as a reward, which you can equip in your barracks.

Why can’t I equip my Prestige? Currently, there is a bug in the system where players trying to equip their Prestige symbol after level 56 encounter issues.

We assume that the system will only be fully functional upon the release of Season 1. However, if this is not the case, we will update our contribution and keep you informed.

If you want to know how it is at the release of Warzone 2, we have a live ticker for you:

A cat is killed live on the German Discord stream, thousands see it on Twitter – How can such a thing happen?

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 3 minutes

Thus, the internet brings out the pitchforks, and everything takes its course: 

A son hits his mother in front of a laughing audience. He kills his cat. We are watching.

A cat is killed live on Discord by a teenager and held up to the camera. The German Twitch streamer MontanaBlack sees this clip and makes it public. Recorded videos of the incident end up on Twitter, trending under the harmless hashtag #Katze and are spread further. MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski wonders: How can this happen?

Attention, trigger warning: This article addresses the topic of domestic violence and the killing of an animal. If you or someone you know is affected by domestic violence, you can reach the helpline “Violence against Women” at
08000 116 016. The helpline “Violence against Men” can be reached at 0800 1239900.
Here you will find the general telephone counseling

A son hits his mother in front of a laughing audience in the Discord stream. This son later kills a cat. He holds its corpse up to the camera and mutilates the dead animal. Footage from the streams ends up on Twitter and is seen by thousands.

I come across the clips because the term “#Katze” appears in my Twitter trends. I suspect something cute and think I will see some sweet cat pictures.

However, after I follow the link, my stomach tightens. Thousands on Twitter feel the same way. The clips are still visible.

The sequence of events is bizarre: Twitch and MontanaBlack play a role

When I think about what has happened here in a very short time, my stomach tightens even more. More than a dried-up raisin that causes an uncomfortable feeling is no longer to be found.

  • On November 15, the clips from the Discord stream appear on Twitter
  • MontanaBlack, one of the largest German Twitch streamers, shares the clip and expresses his anger about it
  • The clips then go viral on Twitter 
  • Another Twitch streamer does a live interview with the teenager about the incidents, where the boy appears visibly out of sorts. Clips from this also go viral.
  • The teenager’s name, address, and contact details are leaked on the Discord server where he hosted the streams
  • A mob forms online
  • The boy streams live on Twitch and “thanks” MontanaBlack. It is clear from the stream that authorities such as the police and lawyers seem to have gotten involved. At least that’s what his mother is yelling at him. Legal consequences could be looming. Parts of the internet celebrate this.

This is the current state of events that have unfolded in the last three days.

At this point, it should be said that we are deliberately not sharing any clips of the incidents. We keep the boy and his family anonymous. However, if you use corresponding search terms on Google and Twitter, you will find it quickly.

I personally have not watched the clip with the cat – even though I should have done so from a journalistic perspective. But I can’t and don’t want to. However, I have had it confirmed by people who have seen the clip that it exists and that it is shocking. 

Many people have started to issue warnings on Twitter about the clips. Similarly, many flood Twitter with actual cat pictures to push the disgusting clips as far down as possible.

How can all of this actually happen?

At the end of the day, the events trigger an emptiness in me, similar to what I felt during the incidents surrounding Drachenlord:

YouTuber Drachenlord must serve 2 years in prison – haters praise “the season finale of the show”

I requested a statement from Discord, which I will include here should they wish to comment on it. The live streams on Discord function differently than on Twitch.

Discord is mainly used online for chats, voice conferences, and video conferences. You can create channels there and meet people. Originally, Discord was primarily used in gaming for communication and networking. However, Discord has grown larger, and at some point, a streaming feature was integrated.

To watch a live stream on Discord, you must already be part of a channel. If the clips had not ended up on Twitter, they would have had no chance of going viral. 

This would be comparable to if something like this happened in a “Microsoft Teams” conference, and someone made a recording to later post it on the internet.

An important factor here is that a streamer of MontanaBlack’s size shared and reacted to the clips. This type of “reaction content” is quick and easy to make, often comes with a lot of reach. If this reaction had not happened, the clip might never have gone viral.

The boy seems to still be a minor. 

How can all of this actually be? Once again, it shows that the internet is still wild and allows things that actually should not happen. There are also always gruesome incidents on Twitch in front of a live audience.

Imagine if something like this had happened on live television. It would be a huge scandal that would run through all media, and the corresponding channels would be held accountable. 

Thus, the internet brings out the pitchforks, and everything takes its course: 

A son hits his mother in front of a laughing audience. He kills his cat. We are watching.

Destiny 2 talks about the future of PvP – Brings real ranking system and new matchmaking

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 5 minutes

Destiny 2 brought the hearts of PvP Guardians back to life with the new TWaB. The Crucible is being entirely revamped, and with it come cool rewards intended to entice players to Shaxx, Lord Saladin, and the 14th Saint. We will show you what to expect.

What has been announced? Destiny 2 has finally detailed significant information about upcoming changes in PvP in its weekly “This Week at Bungie” blog, short TWaB. These are major areas that Bungie wants to address in the coming weeks so that Lord Shaxx and his NPC colleagues can finally earn the reputation they deserve.

This includes:

  • The implementation of a ranked system
  • A new seal for the Crucible
  • Crucible playlists will be revised and optimized
  • New matchmaking, briefly “FBMM,” will be introduced
    • Further techniques for matchmaking are in planning
  • Three maps will be added
    • Two known from Destiny 2 and one completely new
  • The Iron Banner will receive a new mode and one of the most popular armors from Destiny 1

We will now take a closer look at the most important points and show you what to expect soon in PvP.

A brand new ranked system will be introduced

Destiny-2-Rankings-System
All ranks in the new ranked system

How does the new system work? The new ranked system, also known as “Competitive Division,” is meant to replace the old glory system. You will receive a clear ranking system where you can rise through 3vs.3 matches.

With this new system, you should find better and more balanced matches that fit your skill level. Based on your skills, you will then be placed in your corresponding division. There are seven divisions, which are as follows:

  • Copper
  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Adept 
  • Ascendant

The first stage is called “Unproven” and is assigned to every player who hasn’t yet stepped into the competitive mode. You will receive 7 rounds at the beginning during which you will not be tested. After that, you will be evaluated and placed in your corresponding division during your matches.

Note that in the first competitive season, you can only rank up to Gold Rank 3. However, to motivate you in the ranking, you will have the chance to earn the legendary version of the Thorn “The Rose”.

Every week, when you complete the challenge in competitive mode, you will receive one version of The Rose per character at the start of the next week. So, you want a god roll? Then you have to farm hard.

More cosmetic items will be added at the start of Lightfall. Thus, The Rose is just the first reward that PvP enthusiasts can chase.

When will the ranking system take effect? The new division system of the Crucible will start with Season 19.

The Crucible is getting adjustments

Destiny-2-New-Menü-PvP
The menu will be restructured

Bungie has also taken a look at the regular and casual modes in PvP and shuffled some things around.

Based on actual player data and feedback from the Guardians, Bungie has combined certain modes into the rotation and clarified which matchmaking system will be turned on during their active time:

  • Quickplay – 6v6
    • This is now a playlist with Control and Conflict
    • Uses relaxed, skill-based matchmaking (SBMM), optimized in Season 18.
  • Weekly Rotator 6v6
    • Switches weekly between Momentum Control, Clash, Showdown, Rift, and Rumble. Uses pure connection-based matchmaking (CBMM).
  • Competitive / Freelance 3v3
    • This is now a playlist that randomly selects Survival, Rift, and Showdown. These modes present a variety of playstyles to showcase how good you really are.
    • Uses a new SBMM setting created with concepts Bungie developed for a relaxed SBMM setting, but which has been tightened to align more closely with opponents of your skill.
  • Crucible Labs
    • During Season 19, Labs will showcase 3v3 Rift with asymmetrical maps.
    • Labs have a stackable +25% rank booster
    • Uses CBMM.
  • Private Match
    • This will continue to be your place to practice in a specific mode, play against your friends, host small tournaments, or tinker with activity settings to create silly modes.

Those were all mode changes, but Bungie has more in store. A new matchmaking system is intended to ease your nerves, as teams have caused a lot of frustration in the past. Welcome FBMM.

What is FBMM? You surely know the situation when you want to play a match solo in the Crucible, but you have to face a full 6-Guardian team that is even coordinated. That should be a thing of the past with FBMM.

FBMM, also called Fireteam-Based Matchmaking, will be implemented in Season 19 in the casual modes. You will thus have less dealing with teams. Depending on the duration and connection, the FBMM system will ensure that teams are matched more with larger groups.

However, if the connection time is longer, the system adjusts the search and ensures that duos, trios, or 4-player teams come into question. Matches where 6 solo Guardians face a team should rarely occur. But not only matchmaking is increasing, but also the map pool.

Which maps will appear in PvP? This is not yet known. Bungie remains silent, but it is known that over the course of Lightfall three maps will be added to the pool. Two of these are well-known from Destiny 2, as well as one completely new map that no one knows yet.

The Iron Banner finally receives a chivalrous armor

Destiny-2-Iron-Banner-Armor-S19
The known armor from Destiny 1

What armor can Guardians expect? The Iron Banner has a medieval flair, but appropriate armors for the mode were always lacking. In Season 19, however, Guardians are finally set to roam the galaxy like iron knights, as the famed Iron Banner armor from Destiny 1 is set to return. Have you always wanted to wear a wolf as a hood?

New World seemed off-putting at release – Thanks to Fresh Start, I am now involved myself

Anny Anny Reading time 5 minutes

In New World went live on November 2, 2022, with the restart servers. MeinMMO author Anny Bader took a look at the MMORPG as a completely new player.

New World was released in September 2021. I was indeed interested in the game but hesitated to make my purchase. Initially, the MMORPG had enormous player numbers with long queues, but then it suddenly became less populated.

When I heard about economic exploits, empty servers, boring quests, and the tedious leveling process, it turned me off, and I decided to steer clear of New World for the time being.

Recently, when the restart servers went live, where every player starts from scratch, I took the plunge. Also because I heard that New World had improved significantly and was no longer as monotonous. With the Fresh Start, a new, clean economy is also ensured.

Who is speaking here? Anny has been an MMORPG author for MeinMMO since early 2022. She is playing New World for the first time but has been following the events for a while. Now it was time to get her own picture of how good or bad New World really is.

At the launch of the new servers, I arranged to meet a few veterans who wanted to start anew. The server launch was relatively bumpy, but it was probably nothing compared to the release in 2021. Amazon quickly realized that four servers were not enough and delivered additional ones at a minute’s notice, so no one was stuck in endless queues. Currently, all of them are being played diligently, whether newbie or veteran.

Monotonous Quests and Slow Leveling Would Have Scared Me Off at Release

Players who experienced New World before the Fresh Start often complained about the quest design. They were repeatedly brought back to the same location. Cutscenes were significantly less frequent at the beginning.

My own experience is entirely different. I spawn on a coast, do a few things there, and learn the basics, such as crafting at the campfire. Shortly after, I am somewhere completely different; my path from NPC to NPC feels smooth, and I rarely have to backtrack. I am so briefly in the starter area that I even forget to craft my tools. I only get the opportunity to do that a few levels later.

The dialogues are voiced, and there are interspersed cutscenes in comic style that visually remind me of Borderlands. Additionally, my screen occasionally turns red, and I hear the voice of Isabella, leader of the Corrupted. She tells me my mission is doomed to fail. I do not share her opinion.

My character in New World. There is definitely room for improvement in the character editor.

My level is steadily increasing; I reach level 10 in less than an hour. Even later, I level up quickly and have now reached level 40. For some veterans, it is even going too fast now, as they are used to it being different from before: Leveling used to be very sluggish and took forever.

Since an update in summer 2022, leveling from 20 to 50 has become faster, and since the Fresh Start, the required experience points between levels 35 and 55 have been further reduced. Some hardcore players were already at level 60 after 18 hours.

Personally, I find it motivating to progress steadily, which is why I like the current leveling process. Earlier, the tediousness would have likely demotivated me and ultimately driven me away.

In the video, you’ll see a few tips for your start:

5 Tips if you want to start with New World in 2023

I First Test All Weapons and Professions

Unlike before, you now have much quicker access to all weapons. You can find them directly in the starter area since they are just lying around. I found a few, while others I received through quests.

I quickly had one of each weapon and tried them out in peace. The reset of skills is free up to level 20. This was also the case before, but there were hardly any weapons to test. You usually only received them later.

Ultimately, I decide on spear and musket, a build that is said to be good for the leveling phase. Even later, all attributes and skills can be reset again, but then it costs some in-game currency.

Also, with the professions, I first try everything and am impressed by the variety. The fact that you can level everything you do in New World keeps me engaged. I find the music aspect particularly cool – it feels like playing a round of Guitar Hero. It’s not very useful, but I still receive a buff that allows me to gather more items for an hour.

There are 5 different instruments in New World: flute, guitar, mandolin, double bass, and drum.

However, due to the fast leveling of my character, I quickly reach areas where my life skills are insufficient. For instance, I kill a bear and cannot skin it because I need skinning at level 50 for that. So I have to take care of my life skills separately. They also level up quickly, but they go up to level 200, and particularly woodcutting soon becomes too monotonous for me.

Although I Like New World, There Are a Few Issues

Even though I like it a lot, New World is not a perfect MMORPG and comes with some issues despite the restart:

  • Various bugs – resources sometimes cannot be harvested, the achievements interface is visually bugged, sometimes quests are not displayed correctly
  • The group finder totally annoys me. Everyone wants to be a damage dealer, there are hardly any healers and tanks, no one wants to wait long, and people just leave the group. New World does offer a solo option for the quest, but I don’t find that optimal for an MMORPG
  • To keep the level of my main quest, I have to complete almost all side quests
  • There are no mounts, and instead of swimming, my character wades through the water. This happens very slowly, which is quite annoying in the swamp area.

New World Probably Would Not Have Liked Me at Release, but I Love It Now Except for a Few Minor Issues

Regarding the things that annoy me as a newcomer in New World, veterans will probably chuckle. At launch, the MMORPG had so many issues that I would have joined the wave of angry players and left the game quickly. I wouldn’t have had the patience to level up and quest.

But I really like New World in its current form. I can overlook small bugs, and instead of using the group finder, I guess I have to use the old-school method and talk to my fellow players to form a group.

I will definitely continue to play New World and look forward to upcoming content, especially Brimstone Sands.

New World urgently needs to revise a feature if it wants to maintain its hype

Anny Anny Reading time 3 minutes

With the Fresh Start servers, many new and old players came to the MMORPG New World on November 2, 2022. Users in the subreddit give hints about what the developer Amazon urgently needs to do to avoid losing players again.

Since the Fresh Start servers went online, there have been an average of nearly 60 thousand players online at the same time in New World (via Steamcharts). This is the average for the last 30 days. Previously, the average was nearly half, significantly lower in summer. We can therefore talk about a hype that the MMORPG has been experiencing in recent weeks.

However, if you are not playing with friends who are constantly online, you will quickly encounter the group finder and thus a problem. “Even as a tank in low-level dungeons, I find it difficult to find a group,” writes the user Persies under a Reddit post on the topic.

Players can’t find groups – Despite the group finder

At around level 40, you come to a dungeon as part of the main quest and encounter a problem: The group finder. If you don’t set up a group in the chat beforehand, you click on the dungeon, which opens the feature.

You create a lobby or join one. Teammates can sign up and are accepted or rejected by the group leader. There are 5 slots that can be filled by damage dealers, healers, and tanks.

What is the problem? The search is very slow. When a request comes in, it’s mostly a DD – filling the group only with these would be relatively pointless. A tank or healer is rarely there, and if it takes too long for the person, they can simply leave the group.

By the time the content actually starts, a lot of time passes. In expeditions and mutators of various contents, which you can complete from level 60, the search is said to be even more difficult. “I’m getting bored and logging off,” writes harby13, who started the post.

Tips for newcomers in New World can be seen in the video:

5 Tips if you want to start with New World in 2023

The solution would be cross-server content

For the content Outpost Rush, a 20vs20 battle in New World, there will soon be cross-server matchmaking. The developers confirmed this under a forum post: “To ensure that players can participate in content like Outpost Rush if they are on a world with a lower population, we are actively working on cross-server matches.”

Players are also demanding this in Reddit for other content. “The longer it takes, the more the problem will solve itself (not in a good way),” writes randrogynous. He means that many players are leaving New World because they simply can’t find anyone to complete content. “The developers could also improve the group finder,” he adds.

More user opinions:

  • Peliss: “If everything works cross-server, they will stop losing players and won’t see the player numbers drop on all servers.”
  • OddFrenchGuy: “Are you in no company? They should be there to help you.”
  • duanleag: “They need to implement that you can queue from anywhere, not just right in front of the dungeon.”
  • Aventus2: “Cross-server dungeons are a great idea. Today I waited 7 hours on my server to do Tempest.”

The majority of New World players agree that not only Outpost Rush needs a cross-server mode but all content in New World. The fact that the developers have already started to implement this raises hopes for further cross-server content.

What do you think: Does New World need better matchmaking for the group finder and cross-server content? Or should the developers look into another problem first? Do you also have trouble finding teammates for specific content? Feel free to write us in the comments here on MeinMMO!

17 year old MMORPG returns with new publisher – Evokes nostalgic feelings

Anny Anny Reading time 2 minutes

ROSE Online is an anime-MMORPG from 2005, which discontinued its services in 2019. In December, it returns with a new publisher.

The developers Gravity discontinued Rose Online in 2019 – However, with the promise that it could return. In September 2021, the new developers and publisher Rednim Games announced that they would take over the MMORPG and rename it to Rose Online.

After several alphas and closed betas, they wrote in their current post that the early access for Rose Online starts on December 13, 2022.

A classic MMORPG from the past

What kind of game is this? Rose Online is an anime MMORPG that visually resembles NosTale and Ragnarok Online. ROSE stands for “Rush On Seven Episodes”, as there are 7 different planets. They lived in peace until they were plagued by the dark god Hebarn. Your task is to restore harmony.

You choose from 4 classes (Soldier, Muse, Hawker, Dealer) and kill monsters to level up. Over time, you learn new skills and find better equipment.

Here is the trailer from 2011:

Start video
Rose Online Trailer from 2011

What other content does it offer?

  • 7 planets that you can explore
  • Clans that fight each other in PvP
  • Monsters are marked by colors depending on their strength. Blue ones are particularly weak, while red and pink ones are very strong
  • 2 different attack modes to choose from

The MMORPG is free-to-play but offers shop contents for real money.

Fans indulge in nostalgia

Those who played Rose in the past are particularly excited about the return of the MMORPG. Rose Online joins the list of genre comebacks that were long considered dead. For example, Flyff also made a return and a new version of the classic Ragnarok is announced.

Under a post on reddit, many users express their opinions about the relaunch of Rose Next/Online. We have captured a few voices:

  • talonthedeceiver: “I still remember playing it back then and feel a massive nostalgia.”
  • deathm00n: “As a teenager, this was the best MMO. Robots fighting against elves? That was so cool.”
  • fragment059: “The game was great, but it killed itself because they refused to fix the potion glitch. If you picked up a potion, it reset your cooldown and the stack of it made you immortal.”
  • bradstrt: “What year are we in?”
  • neunzehnhundert: “Flyff relaunch, Rose online relaunch, Aion classic is coming to EU. I hope Rappelz comes next.”

Are you looking forward to the relaunch of Rose Online? Did you play it back in the day and also feel nostalgia for the game? Which MMORPG from the past would you like to see return?

CoD MW2 & Warzone 2: This is how you use the Battle Pass correctly and quickly get your CoD Points back

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

The Battle Pass of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 works differently than in previous years – you can partially choose what you want. Players on Reddit have now shown the fastest way to get your CoD points back.

For 1,100 CoD points, you get the Battle Pass in the current CoD games. 100 points more expensive than last year. However, you also get 100 points more if you level up the pass – a total of 1,400.

With the new map system, you can more or less determine the order of your unlocks. This allows for specific paths with which you can unlock all the CoD points you spent on the pass faster.

MeinMMO shows you the order in which you get your points back the fastest. We embed the trailer for the Battle Pass here:

In total, you need 67 Battle Pass tokens until you have recouped your points investment. That’s about 10 levels less than you used to need in the previous system. Usually, you needed between 75 – 85 tiers to recoup your investment.

The remaining 300 points are only available on the last field. For this, you need to unlock the entire map.

More tips for CoD Warzone 2 on MeinMMO:

Shortly after release, the Battle Pass is bugged for some players – your earned tokens are not displayed, and you cannot progress on the map. We also had “0” tokens when creating the article – one day earlier, there were still over 60.

However, the tokens are not gone, just currently a bit inconsistent. Restart the game or your device and log in again. For us, the tokens were back.

„Tastes like victory“ – Gaming streamer DrDisrespect releases $65 bourbon, sold out after 2 hours

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The gaming YouTuber Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm (40) has established an image over the years as a tough macho streamer, who won a meaningless video game competition 30 years ago and still lives off his fame today. And what’s missing to complete the monster mustache, giant ego, and sunglasses? His own bourbon. The $65 bottle was snatched from his hands.

This is Guy Beahm:

  • Guy Beahm was pretty down in 2016: He had just left his job as a developer at Call of Duty, lived with his wife and newborn child in a rough neighborhood, and could see drugs being dealt outside on the street. He began his career as a full-time streamer.
  • Today, 6 years later, Guy Beahm is not just any streamer, but a master at building and marketing himself as a brand. The former Call of Duty developer has created an alter ego with “DrDisrespect”, complete with his own backstory and image. Even a catastrophic career setback couldn’t change his success.
  • Now he has launched a new bourbon variety as Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV.

This was the new action: A new product, a bourbon whiskey, was released yesterday, November 17, via a video on a website. The drink is called “Black Steel Bourbon”.

The bottle cost $65.

DrDisrespect shared the post from the bourbon site via his Twitter account and reached almost a million views in a short period. He even stated that the site couldn’t handle the traffic and crashed.

Just 2 hours later came the news: The bourbon is already completely sold out. The “launch day was a success – The taste of victory has just begun” (via twitter).

How many bottles were sold is not known.

Whiskey was distilled by a master distiller

What kind of whiskey is this? The “Black Steel” is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, with 93 Proof. This corresponds to an alcohol content of approximately 46.5% Vol – so it’s strong stuff.

Bourbon is a specific whiskey that was originally distilled in Kentucky. It is made with at least 51% corn and aged in charred oak barrels. Even today, the major bourbon distilleries are located in Kentucky and Tennessee. Some of the most well-known brands of bourbon whiskey include: Jim Beam (Kentucky) and Jack Daniel’s (Tennessee).

It is said that the bourbon was made by a “award-winning master distiller” and has a “smooth, yet distinctly wild flavor.” There are hints of green apples, vanilla, and citrus fruits, along with notes of charred wood and sweet corn.

As the website “Whiskeyraiders” notes, the whiskey was distilled by Marianne Eaves, the first female master distiller since the Prohibition era. She has likely been working on the brand since May, according to the whiskey site.

DrDisrespect’s mustache is crooked: Maybe because many Twitch streamers are making good money on YouTube right now – Just not him
von Schuhmann

Already in November 2021, DrDisrespect announced plans to launch such a drink.

Black Steel explicitly advertises with Guy Beahm and his alter ego DrDisrespect. It is said that his obsession with whiskey and winning has destined him to create the most delicious whiskey: That’s how victory tastes.

What’s behind it: Alcohol is now practically marketed solely through image and story: Rum tastes of revolution and piracy, gin is classy, comes from nature, and is rooted in homelands, whiskey is for the hard-working man who carries the world on his shoulders.

It’s almost logical that the streamer, who has always told the best story about himself, would achieve great success with this.

Fans of 7 vs. Wild storm Google reviews of hotel in Panama – „I met 7 neglected people“

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 3 minutes

Fans of the YouTube series 7 vs. Wild have adopted the Google reviews of a hotel at the filming location in Panama and written a bunch of humorous reviews related to the second season.

What is 7 vs. Wild? 7 vs. Wild is a survival series on YouTube that airs on the channel of German entertainer Fritz Meinecke.

In the series, 7 participants are abandoned in a remote area and must survive there for 7 days. They only have the clothes on their bodies and a maximum of 7 selected items available to them.

Currently, season 2 is running. Every week, 2 new episodes are released showing how well-known content creators struggle against the odds of nature on a tropical island. Among them are Twitch streamers Starletnova and Knossi, who had a super cute conversation with his 3-year-old son about participating beforehand.

The filming location of the second season of 7 vs. Wild is the tropical island “Isla de San José” south of Panama, where there is also a hotel. This is reason enough for the fans of the series to write humorous Google reviews.

We are embedding a complete list of all participants and other information about the second season of the series here: 7 vs. Wild: All Information about Season 2 – Participants, Rules, Start, and Location

“Weird guy kept asking for cigarettes”

What are users saying? The fans of 7 vs. Wild express their humor in various ways, primarily about Knossi. There are repeated mentions of a man with a crown who keeps asking for cigarettes.

  • “I wanted to have peace and completely relax. It worked for 3 days until I met a guy in the woods on the 4th day. He looked completely disheveled and talked about 7 days. […] He kept following me and wanted to know if he had won (via Google).”
  • “A nice vacation until a young woman opened a construction helmet shop under my bedroom window and called out loudly for customers (via Google).”
  • “Overall very relaxing there. Unfortunately, there was a weird guy wandering in the surrounding jungle who kept asking for cigarettes. (via Google).”
  • “Very beautiful island, unfortunately, there was a small incident. I encountered seven disheveled individuals who were howling like dogs (via Google).”
  • “The hotel was nice, the staff was friendly, the food was very tasty, and there was also a place to sleep. But in the jungle, there was this crazy guy with a crown. He kept asking me if I had cigarettes for him and what day it was (via Google).”
  • “Best place to really let your soul dangle. Just don’t wander too far from the hotel because otherwise, you will encounter weird characters in the woods, who, however, are completely harmless (via Google).”
  • “Overall very nice, but I met a wild specimen. Thought it was poisonous, but turned out to be wild Knossi. Very rare! I was also able to take a few snapshots (via Google).”

Overall, the hotel has over 400 reviews, most of which seem to be from German-speaking fans of the YouTube series. Especially the top reviews with hundreds of “Likes” are allusions to the 7 contestants.

Where can you find the reviews? If you want to take a look at the humorous reviews of the German-speaking “7 vs. Wild” fans yourself, you need to search for the island “Isla de San José” on Google and click on the respective hotel “Hacienda del Mar” there.

You can also sort the reviews by keywords. For this purpose, Google suggests terms such as King, Crown, Screaming, and Machete, which originate from the series and related reviews.

Not only is 7 vs. Wild returning in November with season 2, but also a popular kart event by PietSmiet:

WoW: The 5 Locations for Rukhmar, Galleon and Co. – Here are the Spawns

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 4 minutes

World of Warcraft has increased the drop chance for many formerly rare mounts from world bosses. MeinMMO reveals where you can find the bosses and farm the mounts.

What mounts are these? 5 mounts from Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor are now easier to obtain, because Dracthyr exploited a bug. Blizzard responded and increased the drop chance for all players. You can now obtain the following mounts more easily:

  • Celestial Onyx Cloud Serpent from Sha of Anger (Pandaria, Kun-Lai Summit)
  • Son of Galleon from Galleon (Pandaria, Valley of the Four Winds)
  • Cobalt Blue Terrorhorn from Oondasta (Pandaria, Isle of Giants)
  • Thundering Cobalt Cloud Serpent from Nalak (Pandaria, Isle of Thunder)
  • Sunstrider from Rukhmar (Warlords of Draenor, Spires of Arak)

You will find most of these bosses in Pandaria, but in different areas. We will reveal the exact location for each boss.

By the way: If you have some time left, you should definitely get the new reagent bag for a larger inventory. It makes leveling in Dragonflight much more enjoyable later on.

Rukhmar – Location in the Spires of Arrak

Where does Rukhmar spawn? The map icon for Rukhmar is currently in the wrong place. Instead of the south, where the boss used to be found, Rukhmar now spawns at the Sky Pillar in the northwest (coordinates: 37/38). Rukhmar spawns in the air. If ranged fighters are already waiting for the spawn, you will need to be quick as a melee fighter or already flying to hit the boss in the air before it dies.

You can reach the location fastest by using the garrison hearthstone and then flying to the Spires of Arak. If you don’t have such a hearthstone, take the portal to Ashran in your capital.

wow mounts farmen fundort rukhmar spitzen von arak
The location of Rukhmar.

Galleon – Location in the Valley of the Four Winds

Where does Galleon spawn? You will find Galleon in the Valley of the Four Winds in Pandaria, in the southeast near the border with Krasarang Wilds (coordinates: 71/64). You can reach the boss fastest via a portal to the Valley of Eternal Blossoms from a mage, or via the portal to the Jade Forest in your capital.

wow mounts farmen fundort Galleon Tal der vier Winde
The location of Galleon

Oondasta – Location on the Isle of Giants

Where does Oondasta spawn? Oondasta spawns on the Isle of Giants, a special area in Pandaria, right in the center (coordinates: 50/54). You can reach the giant dino fastest through a portal to the Valley of Eternal Blossoms or the portal to the Jade Forest in your capital.

You need to fly north over the Kun-Lai Summit across the sea and through an exhaustion zone from there to reach the island. There are then flight masters on the island.

wow mounts farmen fundort oondasta insel der riesen
The location of Oondasta.

Sha of Anger – Location on the Kun-Lai Summit

Where does the Sha of Anger spawn? You can find the Sha of Anger on the Kun-Lai Summit in Pandaria (coordinates 54/63). You can hardly miss the boss; the huge Sha can be easily recognized from a distance by its bright glow.

You can reach the boss fastest through a portal to the Valley of Eternal Blossoms from a mage, or via the portal to the Jade Forest in your capital.

wow mounts farmen fundort sha des zorns kunlai gipfel
The location of the Sha of Anger.

Nalak – Location on the Isle of Thunder

Where does Nalak spawn? Nalak spawns on the Isle of Thunder, a special area in Pandaria, at the entrance to the Throne of Thunder (coordinates 60/37). The Isle of Thunder itself is located north of the Townlong Steppes.

You can best reach the location via a mage portal to the Valley of the Four Winds or via the portal to the Jade Forest in your capital. Fly to the Townlong Steppes and speak with an NPC from your faction:

  • Scout Captain Elsia for the Horde
  • Vereesa Windrunner for the Alliance

You will find both of them in the center of the Townlong Steppes at the Shado-Pan Garrison. The NPCs give you a quest that opens a portal to the Isle of Thunder.

wow mounts farmen fundort nalak insel des donners
Here you will find Nalak.
wow mounts farmen fundortTonlong Steppe Insel des Donners
Here you will find the NPCs.

More about World of Warcraft on MeinMMO:

At level 60, you should not have any problems and can solo kill each boss. However, keep in mind that the bosses are not available at all times. They have different respawn times, and it may happen that you have to wait a while if someone has just killed the boss. However, most bosses should respawn after about 15 minutes.

WoW: Brilliant project is “Geoguessr-Azeroth”, works like Google StreetView

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Do you know every corner of World of Warcraft? Then you should check out the “Geoguessr” variant of Azeroth.

Some people feel more at home in Azeroth than in their own hometown and probably know the farthest corners of the World of Warcraft game world better than the streets two blocks away. So that you can brag about this knowledge, there is now a really cool project that brings Azeroth into any browser.

What is Geoguessr? It is a knowledge and guessing game that became possible only through modern recording techniques like Google Street View. In the original, you land somewhere in the world in the middle of the street and can look around a bit. Then you need to mark on the world map as accurately as possible where that place is located. The more precise you are – to within a few meters – the more points you get.

The game has been particularly popular with streamers in the past.

It was only a matter of time before someone created a “nerdy” version of Geoguessr – specifically for the entire game world of World of Warcraft.

How does it work? The project by Reddit user “TheEdenChild” and his friend is incredibly simple to use. Just visit the site (lostgamer.io) and click on “World of Warcraft” at the top.

The coolest part is that it also works with multiplayer mode. You can invite friends, set the rules, and then directly prove who among you really knows World of Warcraft.

Whether solo or multiplayer, you can then select the desired map (such as “Full Map” or just parts, like “only Westfall”).

Finally, you set the rules, which include the number of rounds played, whether there should be a time limit for each round, and whether you are allowed to use the zoom function.

In total, there are over 100,000 different locations where you can land – so you’ll have to put in quite a bit of effort to hit it exactly.

WoW Geogussr Test
The closer you are to the destination, the more points you get.

How much work was that? A whole lot. The entire “Geogussr World of Warcraft” consists of more than 3,000,000 images, and probably another 1,000,000 will come with Dragonflight. However, these were not manually taken as screenshots – just imagine the work involved in sorting them – but rather using some tools that TheEdenChild and a friend created specifically for this purpose.

In the future, there are also plans for more popular games to be available in the “Geoguessr” variant. If you want to have a nerd battle with a colleague on a boring office day, you now have the perfect site for that.

More about World of Warcraft can be found here:

Community celebrates the game: As expected, a project with so much effort and fun is pretty well received by the community. With over 7,000 upvotes and a positive approval rating of 97%, it seems they really appreciate the work. Here are a few comments from the corresponding Reddit post:

  • “Hey, I just wanted to let you know that this is really freaking cool. I am going to play a few rounds of this later.”
  • “I have always wished for a real Geoguessr for Azeroth, I have spent hours on Kruithne.net. But this is so much cooler.” [Note: “Kruithne.net” is a similar game that we have already reported on]
  • “This is beautiful. This is how the internet and technology should be. Thank you for that.”

How many points can you score in your first attempt over 5 rounds, with a time limit of 60 seconds without “Move”? Let us know in the comments!

CoD Warzone 2: Map – Our forecast on the 3 best landing spots at release

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 has celebrated its release and with it the new map Al Mazrah. Therefore, we show you 3 interesting landing spots that are definitely worth a visit.

What are these places? We have chosen 3 places for your landings that not only offer good loot but also give you an advantage in your first steps on Al Mazrah.

Keep in mind that we are only providing a forecast, and every player must decide for themselves whether our listed landing spot really suits them. We have decided on the following places:

  • Fortress
  • Quarry
  • Observatory
All places marked that we have chosen

We will now go into detail and explain why these landing spots are good and why you should visit them.

Fortress

Warzone-2-Fortress
Fortress

Why is the visit worth it? Anyone who has played MW2 knows this place. This fortress is a museum and is located at the southern edge of the map. So this place is not only remote, but its structure also provides enough cover for your looting.

Once you have gathered your loot, you can take the nearest vehicle nearby and disappear. The roads directly in front of the fortress provide ideal escape routes.

Quarry

Warzone-2-Quarry
Quarry

Why is the visit worth it? The quarry, also known as Quarry, is located at the eastern edge of the map. Anyone who played the first MW2 title in 2009 should be familiar with it. The quarry offers a large but also winding terrain due to its location. So you are not only well protected while looting but can quickly shake off your pursuers through its large number of obstacles.

Additionally, the quarry provides the opportunity to quickly get to the center of the map via a road. However, be careful, as many players tend to hide in dark corners.

Observatory

Warzone-2-Observatory
Observatory

Why is the visit worth it? The observatory is completely different from the two POIs listed above. It is located right in the center of Al Mazrah. You can not only gather your equipment through the surrounding buildings but also quickly move to other places by vehicle.

You can also use the height to your advantage, as it allows you to spot enemies more easily with a sniper and eliminate threats more quickly and safely. However, note that due to its central location, it is a popular place. So be alert and watchful.

Find more about CoD Warzone 2 here:

What are good landing zones? Warzone 2 offers a lot of places that you can target during your flight over Al Mazrah. A good landing zone is especially one that offers you protection while looting, drops enough gear, and has perfect escape options.

It will take some time until you find your favorite spot. However, if you have scouted the perfect place, you can loot your territory and immediately know where enemies like to hide and which corners drop loot. This will save you time and get you plenty of kills.

Have you already found your perfect landing zones? Feel free to leave us a comment and tell us which places you like to target.

If you are looking for settings that will make you better in Warzone 2 immediately, we have just the right thing for you:

In Pokémon GO, trainers are looking forward to the next season, which is likely to bring a coveted Shiny

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

A new find by dataminers reveals the name of the next season of Pokémon GO. This gives a good indication of which Shiny Pokémon will likely appear at the tour event.

What was found? In Pokémon GO, dataminers regularly search the game code for changes. Recently, the name of the next season appeared in the latest find. The current Season of Light ends on December 1.

It seems that Pokémon GO is finally getting ready for the release of the Pokémon that is directly related to gifts.

Jirachi and Hoenn Tour are now close

Here is the name of the new season: As the Pokeminers announce, the new chapter in Pokémon GO will be called “Mythical Wishes”. Based on this name and experiences from recent years, predictions can be made regarding the release of a special Pokémon and a new tour.

You should keep this in mind: These findings from datamining are not official information from Niantic. The Pokeminers have repeatedly shown findings in recent years that later appeared in the game. Therefore, their findings are trusted.
Regarding the latest find of the “Mythical Wishes” season, they state: “Now, it is a safe assumption that it is related to Jirachi and probably a Hoenn Tour.”

Why Jirachi? Jirachi is a Mythical Pokémon from the “Wishing Pokémon” category. Thus, the name of the season could already be shaped by this fact.

The story of Jirachi says that it sleeps for most of its life. During this time, it collects wishes on the leaves that are on its head. Approximately every 1,000 years, Jirachi wakes up to fulfill the collected wishes of people. Once the wishes are fulfilled, it falls back into its sleep.

You could already catch Jirachi in Pokémon GO, but only through a special research and not as Shiny. So is the “full” release finally coming?

Why a Hoenn Tour? Jirachi comes from the third generation of Pokémon, which includes the Hoenn region. In recent years, the

A continuation with the Hoenn Tour would be quite conceivable. Fans are now hoping that Niantic will bring shiny Jirachi to the Hoenn Tour (via Twitter). Such a Shiny release would be likely since the Pokémon is particularly rare due to its research and therefore sought after. This would provide Pokémon GO with a strong incentive for the upcoming tour event.

You can see what shiny Jirachi looks like here in the tweet:

More about Pokémon GO:

Now trainers are eagerly awaiting the next few days and the announcements from Niantic. The current Season of Light with its bonuses will not last much longer. Therefore, it should soon be officially announced how Pokémon GO will proceed. It is likely that another regional tour is planned as a major event.
