We want to know from you if you have ever been targeted in the context of gaming and what your reaction to it was.
On November 16, 1996, exactly 27 years ago, the UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) signed the Declaration of Principles on Tolerance. It reaffirms, among other things, that tolerance is neither indulgence nor apathy, but respect and appreciation for the diversity of cultures.
This appreciation and respect are not only shaped by cultural considerations but also by our everyday (gaming) life. Especially on the internet, hate speech is a ubiquitous topic. It’s not just social networks like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and others. Voice chats or general text channels in gaming are also frequently misused for hate.
Many of us are probably familiar with this mainly from competitive games like League of Legends, Counter-Strike, DOTA, or other online games, where either “only” our own skills are belittled, or we are directly hit with racist, sexist, or other hate-filled remarks. Often it doesn’t matter how well or poorly one plays. Just one mistake or even just a different opinion is often enough to get “flamed”.
We would like to find out how many are affected on our websites and what they are doing about it through a survey. In the first step, we want to know from you if you have already been a victim of hostility in gaming communities. It doesn’t matter whether this hostility occurred in-game or on social networks in the gaming environment.
The answer to the question is completely anonymous, and you can vote on multiple points:
In the second step, we then want to know from those of you who answered the first question in any way with “Yes” what your consequences were from this hostility. The answer will also be completely anonymous here. However, this time you have up to two votes to document your immediate reaction and further handling of the game.
Of course, for GameStar, GamePro, and MeinMMO, the question arises daily about what we as editorial teams and communities can do together against hate speech. We look forward to your opinions, ideas, and experiences in the comment section. Feel free to write to us there about what you personally do against hate in gaming and what you would like from others. We are excited about your feedback!
What are we doing? There is also no place for hate and hostility on GameStar, GamePro, and MeinMMO. Our teams of community managers and volunteer moderators ensure this. We are also a member of the initiative of the Bavarian State Media Authority “Consistently Against Hate” and work closely with police and justice to promptly report any legally relevant comments to the authorities.

In Pokémon GO, you can currently unlearn the charged move Frustration from the shadow Pokémon. We at MeinMMO show you 2 tips that can help you save a lot of time when used together.
Which move is it about? In Pokémon GO, you have the opportunity to battle against the villains of Team GO Rocket and secure a shadow Pokémon after the fight. These Pokémon not only look different from the regular versions but also have a special charged move: Frustration.
This is a Normal-type attack that isn’t particularly strong. Therefore, it’s advisable to change the charged move. However, this is only possible during certain time periods in Pokémon GO. During the Rocket take-over, it’s time again, and you can unlearn Frustration from the shadow Pokémon. We present you 2 tips to do this especially quickly.
How long does the Rocket takeover last?The Rocket takeover started on November 14, 2022, and runs until November 17, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time. During this time, your Pokémon also have the possibility to unlearn Frustration.
Here’s how to save a lot of time while unlearning Frustration
How can you unlearn Frustration? To unlearn Frustration on your shadow Pokémon, you need charged TMs. When you use these, the respective monster will receive a random move from its attack pool. Alternatively, with a Charged TM, you can directly select the desired move.
While normally you go through Pokémon one by one and use a charged TM on the corresponding monsters with the Frustration move, trainers on reddit now share various tips that you should apply in combination. With these, unlearning the move will be even faster. Here’s how.
How the tips work: To unlearn Frustration on your desired Pokémon as quickly as possible, it’s best to avoid opening each individual monster. This takes a lot of time. Instead, make use of the item and filter function in the game and proceed as follows:
Click on your item bag and select the Charged TM or Charged TM.
A Pokémon menu will open now.
Type in the search bar at the top the search term “@Frustration” or “@Fru”. This will display only the Pokémon you can unlearn Frustration from.
If you want to refine your selection further, you can add more filters to the search, such as “3*,4*” or “Mewtwo”.
Then, just click on the respective monster where you want to change the move and confirm the change.
Those who use a Charged TM can select their desired move at this point. You can see what that looks like in the following image.
This is how you can unlearn Frustration faster
What should you note about the tips? The two tips are especially a really good option in combination when you use Charged TMs and can select your move directly yourself, or when the charged move that the monster randomly gets is not so important to you.
If you want to teach a specific charged move to a shadow Pokémon but still want to use regular Charged TMs, you should rather use a different search filter. After unlearning Frustration, it otherwise won’t appear in your list anymore.
To avoid having to search for these Pokémon again later, it makes sense to search directly for the respective monster, for example by entering “Mewtwo”. Now you can use the Charged TMs to change the move as many times as you like until you get the one you want.
By the way: If you prefer to use tags in the game, you can also create a corresponding tag, for example “TM”. By entering the respective name, you can also search in the item search bar and change the move of the registered monsters faster.
Which monsters are particularly worth unlearning Frustration from, we’ll reveal in the following article:
Can you redeem shadow Pokémon? Yes, in principle, you can redeem shadow Pokémon as well. You must do this for the Completion of the special research “Field Notes”, which takes place during the Rocket takeover.
What do you think of the tips from the reddit community on unlearning Frustration? Will you try them out in the coming days? Or have you been doing it this way for a while? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.
The matchmaking rating (MMR for short) plays an important role in the ranked matches of League of Legends. We at MeinMMO reveal what MMR is and how you can find out your own MMR.
What is MMR? The matchmaking rating is a value that describes your skill level and on which your teammates and opponents in a ranked match orient themselves:
Those with a low MMR play against weak opponents and with weak allies.
Those with a high MMR play against strong opponents and with strong allies.
The matchmaking rating works independently of the actual placement in ranked, with wins and losses impacting your rating. Thus, a gold player with a high MMR can encounter players from platinum, while someone with a low MMR meets silver players.
What is my MMR? Unfortunately, it is not possible to find out your exact matchmaking rating. However, you can recognize a trend by looking at the LP (league points) you receive after a ranked match:
If you get many LP, your MMR is higher than the average of your ranking, and the game is trying to push you quickly to your actual rank.
If you get little LP, then you have played against weak opponents, and your MMR is likely lower. The system will push your MMR while holding back the rank.
The LP gained also takes into account the various MMRs of teammates and opponents; however, you can infer a trend from several matches.
Moreover, there are external tools. The website Whatismymmr uses various algorithms to provide a value as accurately as possible. It uses the solo matches played in ranked. The displayed value indicates a trend (e.g., 1200 ±100), so your actual MMR is between 1,100 and 1,300. Whatismymmr also emphasizes that the value becomes more precise the more matches you have played.
The different ranks in LoL from Iron (left) to Challenger (right).
How do I improve my MMR? The matchmaking rating improves when you win a ranked match and decreases when you lose a ranked match. In general, the rule is: those who win more than they lose will improve their matchmaking rating.
Is it possible during the Pre-Season 2022? LoL is currently in the pre-season, so you can no longer earn rewards for the season. However, your MMR is still changing in ranked matches at this time.
More about the pre-season and the upcoming Season 13:
Why is there a difference between MMR and ranking? There can be several reasons:
The first 10 matches in a season, the placement matches, are particularly important. They give much more LP to quickly bring you to your rightful ranking. If you lose there, it will take longer for MMR and league to adjust.
If you leave a queue—whether through a disconnect or intentionally—you lose LP, but not MMR.
If you lose a match with 0 LP but do not get demoted, your MMR will still decrease.
If you queue with players who have a high MMR, you may gain more MMR than LP.
Is there MMR in other modes as well? Yes, there is also MMR in the normal mode of LoL or in the auto battler Teamfight Tactics. However, each mode has its own rating that functions independently of the others.

In Pokémon GO there were issues with the shapeshifter Zorua. Now the developers have responded to this – and are distributing some items.
On Twitter, the official Pokémon GO account reported on November 15, 2022, announcing that some changes are coming for Zorua (via Twitter).
The Pokémon appeared on October 25, but immediately brought some issues with its debut. You can read more about this below. Now here’s what’s happening:
Incorrect stats and attacks for Zorua will be updated
Untransformed Zorua from gadgets like the GO Plus will now revert to their actual form
You should now be able to use Zorua in the GO Battle League, trade it, and transfer it to Pokémon Home
Additionally, a free box will be released in the shop as compensation. Inside, you will find a total of 22 items:
20 Pokéballs
1 Star Piece
1 Lure Module
Scroll in the shop to the outfits section where you usually collect your daily free box. You will now find the new free box there.
You will find this box in the shop
Note: The box seems to be rolled out gradually and may arrive for some trainers earlier than for others. So don’t be surprised if it’s not there right away, and restart the game if in doubt.
This is what happened: For the release of the shapeshifting Pokémon Zorua, Niantic had planned a special surprise event.
The plan: During the spotlight hour with Shuppet, you were supposed to bring your buddy to suddenly find many spawns of that monster for a few minutes. If you had a Pikachu as a buddy, the wild would fill with Pikachu that would then turn out to be Zorua when caught.
That was how the event was intended. However, in early time zones like New Zealand, the error occurred that Zorua took on the stats such as size, CP, and attacks of the mimicked Pokémon.
This allowed trainers to get Zorua with incredibly high stats and overly strong attacks – this is now being corrected.
But then there was a second error: When trainers caught Zorua with gadgets like the GO Plus, it remained in the mimicked form and didn’t transform into its actual shape. This was, of course, particularly funny if you had legendary monsters as buddies and could suddenly duplicate super-rare monsters.
A curious Telesto week in Destiny 2 is over. But before the “Queen of Bugs” bids farewell, MeinMMO could extract from her what activities the new week will include. Additionally, a new “Outbreak” is available for all players in PvP for free.
This week: Destiny 2 is approaching the end of Season 18. In these final weeks, the voice of a legendary hero and defender of the Last City will once again sound from the Felwinter Peak. The honorable Lord Saladin has returned from the Cabal and calls his most loyal wolves, as well as all who wish to become one, to the Iron Banner event. While it is Guardians against Guardians here, your team is also important.
Which mode is active in the Iron Banner event? Players will face each other in the Iron Banner mode “Outbreak”, the “Call of Duty” interpretation of killstreaks just for Destiny 2. However, not with little helpers as in CoD, but very Bungie-like with a strong boost to your space abilities. Each kill makes you shine brighter and can also push your team.
However, the PvP offers other options this week that you can take advantage of:
“Momentum Control” is active. In this mode, kills are easier to achieve. The radar is disabled, and all weapons deal increased damage. This allows you to complete quests or catalysts in the PvP excellently, as the TTK is noticeably shorter.
Lord Shaxx provides additional bonus crucible ranks on top. This way, your rank-ups can also be quickly achieved without much effort.
For those who are not interested in PvP, we will now reveal what else is in store for Destiny 2 next week.
Belmon, the giant boss in the Nightfall Strike “Mirror Corridor”.
The most important information about activities from November 15 to November 22.
The Mirror Corridor, on Jupiter’s moon Europa (Beyond Light)
Elsie Bray, the Exo Stranger, requests the Guardians’ help to stop the advance of the Vex on Europa. Get ready and defeat the Transcendent Spirit “Belmon” again in the Nightfall.
This is the Nightfall weapon for this week: As a reward for your run, you will always receive a special Nightfall weapon.
Get the master version of the 140 T.V.O. hand cannon this week, which is effective in combat at medium ranges.
Playlist strikes have the following modifiers this week:
Void Singe
Heavyweight
Iron
The modifier for Singe accompanies you all week; the others change daily.
In the current raid “King’s Fall”, you must face Oryx himself in the fourth raid challenge to receive more loot.
In the challenge “In the Construction”, you should, in a damage phase where you steal the aura of a witch, only stand on each platform once to generate the dimensional platforms of the runner. After each completed phase, this restriction is reset, and you can again only stand on each platform once. If you stand twice on the same plate in one run, the challenge is considered failed.
You can expect the following raid requirements and challenges:
In normal mode, completing a challenge gives you double loot.
The requirement for each encounter for Grandmasters is Power Level 1600 with champions.
Only the Grandmaster raid rewards you with status-specific armor and master weapons.
You can also earn the new raid-exclusive exotic cosmetics in the Oryx look in Grandmasters.
Additional legacy top rewards from the endgame:
Warm up for the raid “Deep Stone Crypt” on the ice moon Europa.
Pack super glue for the Dreaming City dungeon “The Broken Throne”.
Whoever visits her dungeon finds her broken throne.
Weekly Activities
In Season 18, Guardians can act as pirates with their own crew to collect cryptic quatrains and complete the seasonal content. This includes:
Ketch Crash: Dive into this new 6-player activity for ship-to-ship combat to prevent Eramis and her pirate crew from plunging the galaxy into chaos. Here you can earn top loot once a week on Grandmaster.
Expedition: Assemble treasure maps, search for treasures, and return to your ship while fending off enemy pirate crews.
Pirate Hides: Fight through weekly missions and loot powerful relics hidden in the lairs of the pirate lords.
Even though the seasonal quest has now been completed by most players, a prologue could still be waiting. Currently, Mithrax and Eido are investigating the mysterious artifacts of Nezarek. It is quite possible that Bungie has a final piece of story along with a community event up its sleeve.
In addition to Season 18, the current DLCs from “The Witch Queen” are still active and can be played. For example, in the weekly repeatable campaign mission. There, you can also earn top loot to reach the current max power level of 1580.
Savathun’s Throne World – Weekly Campaign Mission

All sources for top loot in Season 18 of Destiny 2
To know where you can effectively grab your top loot, we provide you with a quick overview of activities every week.

For Destiny 2 a server downtime is scheduled for today. All Guardians should prepare for the fact that they won’t be able to play for a while this evening. MeinMMO will keep you updated on the downtimeand let you know what Bungie has planned.
What you need to know today: Today, November 15, not only does the “Telesto Week” end in Destiny 2. There is also a server maintenance scheduled before the weekly reset.
Hotfix 6.2.5.4 is on the horizon and that means you’ll face a downtime tonight during which you can’t play.
While Bungie is working on faulty Aether tank communication, MeinMMO will accompany you during the update and update this article with fresh information. That way, you won’t miss anything.
Update history for Hotfix 6.2.5.4:
18:17: The patch notes have just gone live. Further down, you’ll find the link that tells you what Bungie has changed in the update. 18:00: The maintenance at Bungie has just ended and the servers are coming back online. Hotfix 6.2.5.4 is being rolled out across all platforms and regions. The update size on PC is 604.9 MB. 17:40: The servers of Destiny 2 have just gone offline for the announced maintenance.
Here you can relive the most iconic moments from the “The Witch Queen” DLC:
Start video
Destiny 2 shows in the video the iconic scenes from 2022 – “That was an epic year”
Maintenance on November 15 – All times and server downtime
With each update, Bungie provides precise downtime times when players cannot play. We offer you this information in our article with the German times. This way you can plan your gaming evening perfectly.
All times at a glance:
At 17:00 German time, maintenance will start in the background across all platforms.
From 17:40 the servers will go offline and you will be kicked from all activities automatically. So 5 minutes earlier than usual. Bungie is allowing themselves 20 minutes of downtime today.
Around 18:00 the servers are expected to come back online and update 6.2.5.4 will be rolled out for all platforms. After downloading, you can log back into the game.
The maintenance ends at 19:00.
Important: Even if you have downloaded the update and are back in the game, there may be connection issues until the end of maintenance at 19:00. You may also have to deal with queues at login.
Season 19 will bring further ability adjustments to the game on December 6.
With the start of Season 19 in early December, Destiny 2 will continue to tweak the abilities of the Guardians. Bungie will not only take on the gunslinger. Other classes will also receive changes on the way to more balance in the new DLC Lightfall.
Bungie will adjust the bonus base duration of the enhanced storm grenade granted by “Spark of Magnitude” in Season 19.
The Void Hunter will receive more differentiated Supers for the Shadow Shot: Deadfall and the Mobius Quiver. The tether anchor duration will be changed here.
The damage against PvE combatants for some abilities, like Ballistic Slam, the Arc Soul, or Chain Lightning will be increased.
The Stasis Hunter and the Stasis Titan will receive an additional fragment slot for Glacial Harvest and Cryoclasm.
The current hotfix 6.2.5.4 for Season 18 is rather unremarkable, as it likely only brings a small update online and fixes known issues in the game.
Current list of known issues:
There is an issue where players do not receive all Aether tank communication when playing with multiple characters.
The cutscene for the seasonal introduction may have extremely low frame rates when viewed by players on the Epic Games Store.
The Legendary PsiOps Battlegrounds do not indicate that matchmaking is off.
Weapons and UI elements may not load successfully in some activities.
Players may be blocked from seasonal progress if they return to orbit too quickly.
Cross-save links are currently temporarily disabled due to a bug.
Loading times on the Tower remain slow, despite limiting the number of concurrent players to a maximum of 16. Guardians must still avoid the H.E.L.M. to circumvent this bug. Bounties can be purchased through the official Bungie app.
Name changes for players are not customizable through bungie.net. Players are still waiting for the option to adjust their username multiple times instead of only once.
Important notice for Stadia users: Destiny 2 players whose main characters were created on Stadia should set up cross save on another platform to avoid losing access to their characters after Stadia shuts down on January 18, 2023.
If you encounter any other issues in the game, the recommendation is to report them directly through the official Bungie Help Forum to make the developers aware of them as well.
To keep you entertained during the downtime in Destiny 2:
What is in the patch notes? Bungie publishes the comprehensive list of all changes for Hotfix 6.2.5.3 in the form of patch notes. Traditionally, this happens relatively quickly after the servers come back online.
The YouTuber Harldan is intensively engaged in speedruns in World of Warcraft. He already spent numerous hours in the beta finding the fastest route to level up in Dragonflight. He now presents this in a video.
How fast was he? With his completely new character, Harldan took 3 hours and 21 minutes to get from level 10 to level 60. With his strategy, you could complete the jump from a new character to entering the new areas of Dragonflight in one evening.
How did he set this record? First, Harldan created a Vulpera Monk. He considers the Windwalker build for the Monk to be the strongest when it comes to speedruns.
Then he collected various materials and items to ease his leveling. This includes extra bags, potions, buff food, quest items, and heirlooms. Heirlooms are special equipment items that scale with your level, so you don’t have to worry about becoming too weak for your level at some point.
Potions that increase your gained experience are also important, as well as items that allow him to run faster. He recommends using the Jump-Boosted Controlled Stone for the Radinax.
Here you can watch the complete run:

What limited buffs did he benefit from? Even on the beta server, there is the WoW Birthday Buff, which brought 18% additional experience points. Additionally, he used the Darkmoon event to gain another 10% buff.
However, both events are time-limited, so you won’t be able to use them right at the start of Dragonflight.
What was his leveling route?
Harldan started his journey by traveling from Orgrimmar to Silvermoon. From there, he jumped to Undercity and began leveling in Silverwood. He initially leaves Chromie and a corresponding time adjustment aside.
Until level 20, he stays in the area and then jumps back to Orgrimmar. From there, he goes back to the Darkmoon Faire to refresh the buffs. He also activates War Mode for another XP bonus. With the help of the Vulpera camp, he jumps back to Silverwood.
After completing more quests in Silverwood, he moved to the next area, Hillsbrad Foothills.
At level 30, he teleports back to Orgrimmar. There, he learns the next level of riding and activates Chromie Time for Warlords of Draenor. Following that, he plays through the story of the Iron Horde.
At level 36, he teleports back to the Pandaren to do the monk quests he previously ignored.
After the quests, he reached level 38 and teleports back to Hillsbrad Foothills to continue playing.
At level 40, he returns again to Orgrimmar to set Chromie Time to Cataclysm.
Until level 53, he remained in Hillsbrad Foothills. Then he jumped back into the content of Warlords of Draenor and reached level 60 there.
During the entire run, he also pays attention to finding and killing “Rare Spawns”. These provide as much experience as an entire quest.
By the way, Harldan only needed about 30 minutes from level 50 to level 60. However, adjustments were made for Dragonflight compared to the current live version of Shadowlands. Generally, the required experience up to level 60 with Dragonflight is significantly less (about 57%, via IcyVeins).
Could it have gone any faster? According to Harldan, yes. He lost some time in long loading screens and had bad luck with the elevators in Orgrimmar. The time could possibly be reduced by several minutes.
What do you think about this speedrun by Harldan? And how are you preparing for leveling in Dragonflight? Feel free to write it in the comments.
Starting November 16, the new class of Dragonflight will also come to WoW: the Evokers of the Dracthyr. In our guide, we explain how to play them optimally:
For FIFA 23, Title Update 4 has now been released. The patch notes contain a lot of changes to gameplay and other content.
Title Update 4 launched today for FIFA 23: The new update is now available in FIFA 23 (November 15, 2022). It was announced via Twitter on the direct communication – including patch notes full of changes.
The update is only being released for the “NextGen” version of FIFA 23. It will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, but not for PS4 and Xbox One.
There are several points in the update that could noticeably affect gameplay. We will show you the most important content from the patch notes.
FIFA 23 Patch Notes for Title Update 4 with Trivela Nerf
What’s included in the patch notes: The patch notes for Title Update 4 contain numerous changes and bug fixes. This is the most extensive update yet regarding gameplay adjustments.
You can find the complete list with over 60 major and minor changes on the EA FS Tracker (via Trello). Here we will show you the most important areas of the changes.
However, there is an exception: For players with the “Outside Foot Shot Trait”, the accuracy is only nerfed by 10%.
Otherwise, there are many more changes that we will categorize into 3 areas.
1. Numerous changes to gameplay – with goalkeeper improvement
What is changing? The list of changes and especially the bug fixes in Title Update 4 concerning gameplay is long. Particularly interesting are the following fixes:
Players could skip the powered shot animation by rapidly pressing the shoulder buttons after a regular shot. This has been corrected.
The goalkeeper could position himself incorrectly after being controlled manually. Additionally, goalkeepers have been improved, and there are to be fewer errors.
Furthermore, the goalkeeper could suddenly leap in the opposite direction during a penalty, even if he was already heading to the wrong corner.
After a tackle, the ball could fly too far away – this has also been resolved.
Semi-assisted through balls should now arrive better with the player instead of with the opponent.
The referee logic will be improved in some situations.
In addition, many other smaller bug fixes are included.

2. Annoying bugs in FIFA 23 will be fixed
The new update now addresses fixes for issues that have been disturbing the gameplay experience since the release of FIFA 23. The most important fixes in the update are:
Changed settings for controller and camera could constantly be reset. This should be fixed.
Some tasks in FUT Moments were not correctly recorded.
In the FIFA World Cup mode, there was a bug when creating the quarter-finals with incorrect teams.
Additionally, some players were unable to access the World Cup online mode due to a bug.
A 16-Year-Old Apparently Unintentionally Created a “Mic Drop” Moment at a Street Fighter V Tournament. After Winning the Finals Against His Opponent, He Simply Left the Stage. It Seems He Hadn’t Even Realized He Had Won the Tournament.
What Kind of Tournament Was It? From November 11 to 13, the Ultimate Fighting Arena Took Place in Paris: An Event Where Tournaments Were Held for a Total of Seven Different Fighting Games, Including Street Fighter V.
Who is the 16-Year-Old Winner? For the 16-Year-Old “Street Fighter” Player Competing Under the Name Ending Walker, It Was Only His 2nd Offline Event Ever. However, This Inexperience Did Not Show in His Performance.
With Just One Loss, the Young Player Defeated Full-Time Professionals Over the Weekend. That Would Already Be an Impressive Achievement, But During His Appearance in the Grand Finals, He Particularly Stood Out with His Apparent Calmness.
Alongside Classics Like Super Smash Bros and Street Fighter, the Colorful Crossover Fighting Game MultiVersus Was Also Represented at the UFA.

Player Leaves the Stage Instead of Being Celebrated
What Happened in the Finals? In the Grand Finals, Ending Walker Faced Off Against “Street Fighter” Veteran Valmaster and Swept Him 3-0 Off the Stage. Instead of Being Celebrated as a Great Winner, the 16-Year-Old Apparently Unimpressed Left the Stage and Disappeared into the Crowd.
Only After Some Coaxing from the Enthusiastic Audience Did the Slightly Embarrassed Smiling Ending Walker Return to the Stage. There, He Not Only Received His Well-Deserved Applause but Also a Medal and the Grand Prize of €3,000.

How Was the Action Received? Many Viewers Celebrated Ending Walker for His Apparent Calmness in Light of His Victory. The US Magazine Dexerto Admired the 16-Year-Old on Twitter by Calling Him a “Gigachad”.
In the Comments on Twitter, Ending Walker is Even Compared to Ryu, the Protagonist of the “Street Fighter” Series. The Appearance of the Young Player Reminds Some of a Cutscene from the Nearly 30-Year-Old Street Fighter 2.
In This Cutscene, Ryu is Shown Walking into the Sunset After His Victory, with the Text Displayed: “He is Already Seeking the Next Challenge; Ceremonies Mean Nothing to Him.”
What Does Ending Walker Say About the Attention? The 16-Year-Old Explained on Twitter that He Did Not Plan the Cool Appearance. He Was Simply Overwhelmed at That Moment and Couldn’t Fully Grasp His Victory Yet.
The 16-Year-Old Ending Walker Had Already Built a Reputation as a Prodigy in the Street Fighter Community Before His Performance at the UFA and His Appearance in the Finals. Last Year, He Won Several Online Tournaments, and at His First Offline Appearance, He Managed to Achieve Third Place.
The new year brings many changes for Season 13. However, first all players have to go through the Pre-Season of League of Legends. What Riot Games has planned for the season and when it starts, we explain here.
When does Season 13 start? Currently, there is no specific date for when Season 13 in League of Legends will begin. However, we can narrow it down to a closer timeframe based on some data:
The end of Season 12 comes with Patch 12.22. This hits the live servers on Wednesday, November 15.
In order for LoL players to prepare for the start of a new season, it usually begins about 2 months after the start of the Pre-Season.
Season 13 would accordingly start in the first weeks of January 2023.
Here you can see the new champion at the end of the season. K’Sante is intended for the Toplane:

K’Sante Champion Spotlight – League of Legends
Pre-Season simplifies the Jungle, strengthens the Toplane
These are the most important changes: The Chemtech Dragon is returning to the Rift. It brings a new buff that makes you stronger when you have less health and enhances the plants on the map once it changes the map.
There will also be pets for the jungler that you can train to make their effects stronger. The 3 different pets are called in English:
Mosstomper – Gives you a shield when you are out of combat. Additionally, you receive increased resistances.
Scorchclaw – Deals extra damage and slows the first enemy when you attack them.
Gustwalker – Increases your movement speed when you come out of bushes or kill neutral monsters.
Here you see the three jungle pets in their small and fully grown form.
The aggression levels of monsters in the jungle have also been adjusted. This means that no more than two camps can be done at the same time. The jungle paths will be clearer, making it easier to enter the jungle. The optimal paths from Season 12 need to be re-evaluated.
The game now gives you tips on the order in which you can efficiently clear the camps. Additionally, they assist you with items and runes. This means you don’t need external programs anymore. League does all of that itself.
Additionally, new and revised items will be relevant for many top lane champions. We have already introduced the 5 best top laners for the Pre-Season. Tanks will be able to withstand more, and fighters will deal more damage. Furthermore, the top lane will earn more gold and experience for killing minions.

What changes with Season 13? What other changes will be specifically in Season 13 is still unknown. If anything else happens or if the Pre-Season changes, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is already out and soon Warzone 2 will see the light of day. Since the shooter series has many titles, we asked you which CoD is the best and your answer was clear.
Which CoD is the most popular on MeinMMO? On November 7th, we launched a survey on MeinMMO regarding CoD. In this, we asked you, our community, which CoD is your favorite. For this, we listed every known shooter title from the franchise and gave you three votes.
Now that CoD: Warzone 2 is coming tomorrow, we have evaluated your votes and found the following results. Your favorite shooter title is Modern Warfare 2 from 2009. However, this is not your only favorite. We will show you the three best and worst titles that you have chosen.
Here’s another trailer for the gameplay innovations in CoD MW2:

CoD Modern Warfare 2: Important changes explained quickly – With gameplay
The 3 best and worst CoDs
Each reader received three votes from us, as the agony of choice is not easy to bear and usually, one has multiple favorite titles that they will never forget. The top 3 of the most popular CoDs on MeinMMO are (as of November 15, 2022):
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) with 558 votes
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) with 356 votes
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011) with 281 votes
What stands out here is especially that all old installments of the “Modern Warfare” series have the most votes. They were able to offer you more of what you desire from a shooter. Engaging story, smooth PvP, and clear menus.
Now let’s move on to the poorly rated titles of CoD. These include (as of November 15, 2022):
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (2016) with 23 votes
Call of Duty 3 (2006) with 20 votes
Call of Duty: Vanguard (2021) with 15 votes
Those who look at the following results more closely will notice a clear statement. Our readers definitely do not like World War II scenarios, nor futuristic shooters with flying soldiers. We believe it has to do with the setting of the individual games.
Modern Warfare and other titles of the MW series basically show what a war-like conflict could look like in our time. It is therefore very realistic, and this resonates with the community in conjunction with an engaging story and clear PvP.
Maybe you have a different opinion? Then feel free to let us know in the comments and tell us why your title is the best!
More about the release of Warzone 2.0 can be found here on MeinMMO:
For several months, Xbox manufacturer Microsoft has been trying to buy publisher Activision Blizzard. This deal involves numerous well-known franchises like Diablo, World of Warcraft, and Call of Duty. Competitor Sony is not pleased with this and especially CoD has repeatedly become a topic of contention. Xbox head Phil Spencer apparently has no more patience for the bickering and states that Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation as long as gamers want it.
However, PlayStation maker Sony is pushing back and resisting. Although Phil Spencer has repeatedly confirmed that Call of Duty will stay on PlayStation, Sony and even some regulatory bodies are doubting that the deal is legally permissible.
This is what Spencer is saying now: In an interview with the US news site The Verge, Phil Spencer has now spoken more clearly. As The Verge itself headlines, he wants to “settle the debate once and for all”.
In the interview, Spencer states verbatim: “We believe Call of Duty will be on PlayStation as long as players want it. This is not a competitive threat against PlayStation; it’s a pragmatic perspective.” The interviewer, Nilay Patel from Decoder, mentions game streaming, and Spencer interrupts:
Natives. Call of Duty. On PlayStation. Not linked to having to use Game Pass […] If they want a streaming version of Call of Duty, we can do that as well, just like we do with our consoles. But I have no ace up my sleeve.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 runs great on PlayStation, runs great on Xbox. The next game, the next, next, next, next, next… all native on the platform, no obligation to subscribe to Game Pass. Sony does not have to offer Game Pass for that to happen.
Nothing is hidden. We want to bring Call of Duty to PlayStation without any weird: “Aha, I found the hook’ when Ohil said: ‘our intention’!” I understand the concerns of some people on this topic and I am trying to be as clear as I can.
Patel notes that Spencer is apparently responding to some tweets and complaints from third parties that have surfaced in the past. Spencer himself sounds somewhat weary of the discussion and addresses many points as clearly and unequivocally as possible, but only laughs at the comment.
Modern Warfare 2 is a significant success. Some players even believe it is “one of the best Call of Duty games.” Here’s the trailer for the celebrated campaign:
Call of Duty stays on PlayStation – “No Game Pass, no hook”
Spencer does not refer to PlayStation 5 or any specific console but states that Call of Duty will remain native on PlayStation. Native, without hooks, without further obligations such as linking to Xbox Game Pass.
This likely stems from the fact that his last statements were all picked apart word by word. Sony and some fans saw in the promise to bring Call of Duty “for many years” to PlayStation a loophole that could be circumvented at any time.
Phil Spencer also clarifies that a contract “forever” would not be realistic. But he makes it clear that he does not intend to remove Call of Duty as a franchise from PlayStation, if the acquisition indeed goes through.
What does the statement mean for the deal? Phil Spencer’s assurance does not yet mean that every commission will now approve the deal. Recently, there were particularly concerns in the United Kingdom, with some peculiar demands being made.
The reviewing authorities are supposed to decide independently and based on applicable laws, not based on orally made assurances. Nevertheless, Spencer’s promise might counter some arguments from Sony.
The entire dispute over the acquisition is likely to drag on and occupy many people. The topic is even engaging many gamers, and recently there was a fierce argument on Twitter about it:
In Pokémon GO there are now numerous monsters from various game generations. We at MeinMMO show you which ones they are and want to know from you which one is the best.
What are these generations? The monsters that you can find in Pokémon GO can be assigned to different generations. These are related to the various regions where the respective Pokémon can be captured according to their story.
The assignment of the different generations in the main series games is based on the release of the respective Pokémon games, which first thematize the corresponding regions. For example, the GameBoy games Pokémon Red and Blue revolved around the Kanto region and thus encompassed the 1st game generation.
We have summarized which regions belong to which generation and which monsters can be assigned to them below.
[toc]
All 8 Game Generations at a Glance
How many generations are there? While the games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet for the Nintendo Switch will soon see the release of the 9th generation in a few days, trainers can currently only find monsters up to the 8th generation in Pokémon GO.
However, these are also not fully available in the game yet. Trainers have been waiting for the release of Kecleon for some time now, which would complete the Pokédex for the Hoenn region. Below we have summarized all regions and their corresponding generations for you.
1st Generation: Kanto Region
In the first game generation, everything revolves around the Pokémon of the Kanto region. Most players will be familiar with this region, as the anime surrounding Ash and his friends also began here.
Here you can encounter the starter Pokémon Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Popular monsters like Pikachu, Chansey, Snorlax, Mew, and Mewtwo also represent this region.

2nd Generation: Johto Region
The second game generation deals with the monsters of the Johto region. In addition to the starter Pokémon Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile, especially Pokémon like Espeon, Umbreon, Houndoom, the regional Pokémon Scizor, as well as the legendary monsters Lugia and Ho-Oh are in the spotlight.
In this generation, you can also find several baby Pokémon, such as Pichu, Cleffa, Togepi, or Swablu.
Collage with the Pokémon of the Johto region
3rd Generation: Hoenn Region
In the 3rd generation, monsters from the Hoenn region appear. This region hosts the starter Pokémon Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip. Additionally, monsters like Slaking, Hariyama, Kyogre, Groudon, or Rayquaza can also be found.
With the exception of Kecleon, this region is otherwise fully available in the game. When the remaining monster will finally make its debut remains to be seen. According to developers, Kecleon is supposed to get a very special release.
Collage with the Pokémon of the Hoenn region
4th Generation: Sinnoh Region
In the fourth generation, particularly many strong Pokémon can be found. The Sinnoh region is home to not only the starter Pokémon Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup but also monsters like Luxray, Roserade, Rampardos, Garchomp, Rhyperior, or Mamoswine, which are among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
However, this region is also not completely finished. Trainers are still waiting there for the water Pokémon Phione and Manaphy.

5th Generation: Unova Region
The 5th game generation focuses on the Pokémon of the Unova region. It is represented by the starter Pokémon Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott and also features a series of regional Pokémon such as Pidove, Darumaka, and Ducklett, as well as Jiutesto, Karadonis, and Maracamba.
In addition to legendary monsters like Terrakion or Reshiram, it also offers the mysterious Pokémon Victini and Meloetta a home. However, several monsters are still missing here, which are waiting for a release.

6th Generation: Kalos Region
In the 6th generation, you can encounter Pokémon from the Kalos region. Here you will meet the starter Pokémon Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie. Other well-known faces from this region are also Florges, Dedenne, Helioptile, Yveltal, and Hoopa. However, trainers are still waiting for several new releases, such as Volcanion or Zygarde.
Collage with the Pokémon of the Kalos region
7th Generation: Alola Region
The 7th generation deals with the monsters of the Alola region. The starter Pokémon Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio debuted in the game this March.
During the “Alola Season”, the various islands of the Alola region were thoroughly thematized, and you could encounter the legendary guardians Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini.
Collage with the Pokémon & Ultra Beasts of the Alola region
On the occasion of the GO Fest, mysterious Pokémon known as Ultra Beasts, which are pure horror, were also introduced into the game. This includes, among others, Nihilego, Xurkitree, Buzzwole, and Pheromosa.
Although they originate from the Ultra Dimension, they reach the world of Pokémon GO through Ultra Wormholes. Since they are causing chaos in the Alola region’s world and fighting against the guardians, they can also be assigned to the 7th generation.
The latest generation that plays a role in Pokémon GO consists of monsters from the 8th generation. They belong to both the Galar region and the Hisui region. Here you can find Pokémon like Rillaboom, Wooloo, Zacian, Zamazenta, or Zarude, as well as Hisui Pokémon Sliep and Wyrdeer.
Since these regions have not been featured in Pokémon GO for long, several monsters from this generation are still missing in the game, such as Kleavor. Ursaluna, the final evolution of Teddiursa, also belongs to the 8th generation and will celebrate its debut on November 12. Here we reveal how strong Ursaluna will be.

The release of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is just around the corner and you haven’t had time to unlock all weapons and attachments? No problem! MeinMMO will tell you which attachments you should focus on to create multiple meta setups in no time.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the developers at Infinity Ward completely overhauled the gunsmith. Gone are the days when you had to painstakingly level each new weapon from scratch before gaining access to the strongest attachments.
This allows some attachments to be used on multiple weapons – you unlock them once and can attach them to several weapons. We have listed 13 attachments that will be important for Warzone 2 here, along with the weapon you need to level up to unlock them.
A few tips for leveling weapons in MW2 can be found here in the video:
Start video
CoD MW2: 3 tips for quickly leveling up your weapons
CoD Warzone 2: 13 strong meta attachments
Which attachments are good for Battle Royale? Throughout the many seasons of the first Warzone, it has been shown that certain weapon components and attachments repeatedly appear in the meta loadouts of Call of Duty’s Battle Royale.
This is because these attachments can positively influence the values of your weapons that are particularly important in Battle Royale. This includes a reduction of horizontal recoil, for instance.
Silencer
Harbringer D20
Unlock the weapon “STB 556” at level 18
Echoless-80
Unlock the weapon “STB 556” at level 18
Singuard MKV
Unlock the weapon “VEL 46” at level 16
ZLR Talon 5
Unlock the weapon “TAQ M” at level 22
Muzzle Brake
Komodo Heavy
Unlock the weapon “Lachmann 556” at level 18
Scope
VLK 4.0X
Unlock the weapon “Kastov 762” at level 4
Foregrip
FFS Sharkfin 90
Unlock the weapon “Fennec” at level 2
Merc Foregrip
Unlock the weapon “TAQ-V” at level 6
VX Pineapple
Unlock the weapon “Icarus” at level 14
Ammunition
5.56 High Velocity
Unlock the weapon “STB 556” at level 7
Grip
Skin ZX Grip
Unlock the weapon “M4” at level 8
Laser
VLK LZR 7MW
Unlock the weapon “STB 556” at level 5
FSS OLE-V Laser
Unlock the weapon “EBR-14” at level 10
In the Warzone, some attachments are particularly strong
Which attachments have been particularly strong so far? In the early seasons of Warzone, during the times of MW 2019, the monolithic silencer was a must on most assault rifles. This attachment reduced recoil and increased your range. Both are characteristics that provide you with massive advantages in Battle Royale.
In later seasons, during the times of Cold War or Vanguard, certain grips became particularly important. They could reduce your weapons’ recoil while simultaneously increasing your movement speed.
What comes next in Warzone 2.0? Values such as aim down sights speed, fire rate, or range will again provide you with many advantages in the new Warzone. The list below therefore includes a whole range of attachments that improve the values of your weapons relevant to Warzone.
Thanks to the new gunsmith, you can create several meta loadouts with these attachments, thus being well-prepared for the launch of Warzone 2.0. If you haven’t had time to unlock all weapons and attachments, these attachments are a good way to prepare for Warzone at the last minute.
If you want to be particularly efficient, start with the weapon “STB 556” and level it up to level 18. This will unlock 3 attachments at once.
After that, you can continue with the weapons “TAQ M”, “Lachmann 556”, and “VEL 46” since you need to invest some time in these weapons. The remaining attachments can already be obtained at low weapon levels and should therefore be relatively quick to acquire.
For a long time, the Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie was considered the king of YouTube and had the most subscribers as an individual on the popular platform. However, now a competitor from the United States has knocked him off his throne.
Who is the new king of YouTube? Since November 14, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, is the YouTuber with the most subscribers. He has therefore surpassed Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg aka PewDiePie.
In November 2021, MrBeast also made headlines when he recreated the Netflix series Squid Game and awarded $456,000 in prize money to the winner. With his version of Squid Game, he also set a record of 42.6 million views in 24 hours for a non-trailer or music video, which he lost in March 2022 to the slap by Will Smith at the Oscars.
MrBeast surpasses PewDiePie
How many subscribers does MrBeast have? When MrBeast surpassed PewDiePie in subscribers on November 14, screenshots circulated on the internet shortly thereafter, showing him with 111.85 million subscribers and demonstrating that he knocked his competitor off the YouTube throne.
One of these screenshots is from the Twitter account Jake Lucky, who is known for his information within the gaming scene. Below we are embedding that post:

As MrBeast’s growth has not slowed down, the numbers for the 24-year-old have continued to rise. The YouTuber has now reached 111.9 million subscribers according to the website livecounts.io. The site publicly shares data on known social media platforms and claims to have the corresponding data from YouTube.
With still nearly 111.8 million subscribers, the former YouTube king does not need to hide. The Swede can still look forward to the milestone of being the first person to have 100 million subscribers for a long time.
Which channel really has the most subscribers? The list of YouTube channels with the most subscribers is not led by a well-known YouTuber, but by a music agency from India. T-Series is followed by 229 million accounts. However, brand and company channels are often not included in many lists.

The 31-year-old Hasan Piker, known as “HasanAbi”, is a popular political streamer on Twitch, who holds leftist views. On September 23, the influencer “lavlunee” accused him of having slept with her then 17-year-old girlfriend when he was 24. These allegations came to light on November 14. HasanAbi responded on the same day, denying everything.
What are the allegations? On November 14, the streamer ChudLogic displayed a screenshot of a message that lavlunee wrote via Discord on September 23.
In this message, lavlunee accuses the political streamer HasanAbi of having slept with her then 17-year-old girlfriend. She does not name the person.
The accusation does not come from the alleged victim herself, but from an acquaintance
Who is lavlunee? lavlunee, who also goes by Lavender or lavenderlunee, describes herself as an artist and feminist. She runs an Instagram account with 101,000 followers and is also active on Twitter.
Additionally, she uses Patreon to publish diary entries, essays, and explicit content that only paying supporters can see. In the past, she has faced criticism for her statements on issues like sexism and racism (via Twitter).
On Discord, she wrote on September 23:
I find Hasan’s outrage about everything really funny because he slept with my girlfriend when she was about 17 and he was 24.
lavlunee
A clip of the stream featuring the message subsequently appeared in the LivestreamFail subreddit and sparked a discussion there with hundreds of comments. Many users doubt the veracity of the allegations.
What is this subreddit? r/LivestreamFail is the largest general community on streaming on Reddit, with 1.6 million members. There, clips from streams on Twitch or YouTube are primarily posted and discussed.
When a topic heats up there, it is a good indicator of what is currently on the minds of the streaming community. Currently, there are several threads about HasanAbi on LivestreamFail, with the largest threads garnering 3,500 and 2,600 upvotes and up to 700 comments.
Many streamers closely monitor what happens on LivestreamFails and purposefully use the reach of the discussion forum to boost their popularity. There exists a kind of love-hate relationship between streamers and the forum.
HasanAbi responded to the allegations on the same day. He not only denied their authenticity but also hinted that lavlunee could face a lawsuit for defamation.
HasanAbi speaks of defamation
This is what HasanAbi says about the allegations: At the beginning of his stream on November 14, HasanAbi addressed the accusations and labeled them as fabricated.
I know what the allegations are. They are completely insane. They are false. We will get to that. They are also totally illegal.
HasanAbi
Hasan explained that he knows which person the allegations refer to. He admitted to having dated the young woman, but she had not been 17 when he met her, but rather 19. He himself is said to have been 25 at the time and not 24.
The identity of the person Hasan does not want to reveal at this time. He indicated, however, that she could be a publicly known person. The young woman is reportedly not one of his fans, so there was no power dynamic in his favor between them, Hasan said.
The prominence of the woman is said to be significant enough that such an incident would attract attention beyond the streaming bubble. HasanAbi also explained that such claims could have legal consequences for lavlunee.
It’s hard not to say anything here. But considering who the person is, the allegations are so psychotic that they would make it into the damn mainstream news. And that person would likely be sued for a large amount of money. Not by me, by the way… For inventing this nonsense.
HasanAbi
Streamer says: Age of those involved was manipulated to create a scandal
The Discord message from lavlunee brands HasanAbi as a liar and accuses her of having deliberately altered the numbers to provoke a reaction. Had she stated the true age, the streamer claims, people would hardly have been interested in the “problematic age difference”.
According to HasanAbi, this means that lavlunee has put herself in a legally problematic area.
But she knew that, so she had to distort [the numbers] to make it illegal. Which is a crime. […] What she basically says is that I committed a crime. And that’s not just a complete fabrication; she knows what the truth is and has decided to manipulate it a bit so that she can defame me.
HasanAbi
HasanAbi also states that the allegations are so baseless that not even his worst critics have taken advantage of them: The controversial political YouTuber Destiny, with whom HasanAbi fell out in 2019, has also commented on the allegations.
Who is Destiny? The name refers to YouTuber Steven Kenneth Bonnell II, a political commentator from the USA. He is considered a controversial figure and was permanently banned from Twitch in March 2022. On YouTube, he has 583,000 subscribers who follow his political talks.
Destiny is said to have previously spoken out against making the allegations against HasanAbi public, although there has been a feud between Destiny and HasanAbi for some time.
The streamer Destiny.
The woman from whom the allegations came retracts, says: HasanAbi did nothing illegal
What does lavlunee say about the allegations? lavlunee posted a statement on her Patreon account a few hours before her allegations against HasanAbi became public. In it, she mainly addresses her accusations against Destiny.
lavlunee explained that as a result of her allegations against Destiny, she received “hundreds of thousands” of messages in which she was manipulated or insulted.
From this experience, lavlunee now wants to draw the consequences and withdraw from parts of the public eye. She plans to stop streaming on Twitch indefinitely and also wants to say goodbye to Twitter.
However, she will keep her accounts on YouTube and Patreon to continue developing her own content (via patreon).
She denies her allegations against HasanAbi and states that he did nothing illegal or immoral:
Hasan Piker slept with my very young girlfriend when he was not that young. It was legal. But he has publicly called out men who have done much less.
lavlunee via patreon
Destiny had previously released a secret call between several major streamers in September, during which HasanAbi was discussed. It was indicated that damaging information about some well-known streamers exists, but the release has been withheld.
The upcoming multiplayer RPG Blue Protocol caused a lot of buzz and then disappeared from the scene for a long time. Now, developer Bandai Namco returns with a big trailer and hints at many details in December. We from MeinMMO summarize.
What is Blue Protocol? The multiplayer RPG is currently being developed by the Japanese developer and publisher Bandai Namco and aims not only to tell an engaging story but also to provide plenty of content for fans of MMORPGs and games like Genshin Impact.
Blue Protocol features an anime look and a large, open world that is divided into zones, similar to Guild Wars 2, and focuses on a middle ground between MMORPG and the co-op mode of Genshin Impact. Only 40 players can be in a map at the same time.
Thematically, the game revolves around time travel, as you flee approximately 1,000 years into the past to prevent a catastrophe and save the world. Here’s what to expect in terms of gameplay:
A strong focus on PvE and story, with no PvP.
Monsters do not drop equipment; everything must be crafted.
Dungeons for solo players and groups of up to 6 people, with raids planned as well.
Action combat system where dodging and targeting are important.
How long has it been quiet? Blue Protocol was actually supposed to release in Japan in 2021 and potentially go global later, but nothing has happened so far. After the beta, which was closed again in December 2020, and an announcement in 2021, things went very quiet about the game.
Now, the developers from Bandai Namco are back and not only releasing a strong trailer but also bringing two more big surprises.
You can watch the new trailer here:

Blue Protocol – New Japanese Trailer
Playtest in January and many details still in December
What is there besides the trailer? Along with the new trailer, the developers also announced a large playtest for January. There, the network technology will be put to the test. Around 50,000 people will be able to play Blue Protocol from January 14 to 16.
However, the playtest only takes place in Japan, and you will need a Japanese ID to participate. Nevertheless, we can expect some information from the playtest.
But there could be big news for the Western market even earlier, as the developers also announced in a teaser that they have an announcement ready for the Game Awards.
The Game Awards will take place on December 8 and are a major industry event, especially in the West. It is conceivable that we will receive information in December about when and whether we will be able to play Blue Protocol in Germany.
However, there are no more details than this image.
A worldwide release is possible, but not confirmed
Is Blue Protocol coming to us at all? There is still no official statement regarding a global release. According to the developers, Blue Protocol is set to launch for the Japanese market.
However, in the past, localization managers for the English language have been sought, and a deal was made with Smilegate, the developers of Lost Ark, for the Korean market. This suggests that Bandai Namco wants to make their game accessible to a larger market.
What do you think of Blue Protocol? Does this anime MMORPG appeal to you?
Which multiplayer title will be played by everyone soon? We at MeinMMO take a look into the future and summarize which games are on the most wishlists on Steam.
There are a few big announcements for 2023. These include sequels to popular games, as well as entirely new titles. Those who want to stay up to date and know what everyone else is playing or will be playing should not overlook the list.
How was this list created? To find the most wished-for games, we searched Google for “Steam most wanted games” and received an overview, to which we added the tag “Multiplayer.” Here you can find the list.
At the top is Hogwarts Legacy, which according to the developers will not have a multiplayer or co-op mode. There were rumors about this, which is why the game is still likely listed under “Multiplayer” on Steam.

The gameplay of Kerbal Space Program 2 is fundamentally not expected to differ from its predecessor. However, players now have access to more options: more technologies, new colonies, and more modding features.
The biggest change, however, is that the sequel will now be a multiplayer title. In contrast, you could only play the first part from 2015 alone.
When is it coming out? The planned release for the space simulator is February 24, 2023. Then the game will enter early access on Steam, while the console version is still pending.
Which of the games are already on your list? Are you particularly excited about a release? Or do you prefer indie games that are less known? Will you play the sequels even if you don’t know the predecessors? Do you prefer to play alone or with others? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is full of gadgets that provide you with advantages in certain situations – or disadvantages for your opponents. It is very helpful to understand the mechanics of the useful tools. Some annoying gadgets are not so bad after all.
Which killstreak are we talking about? The counter UAV. The device can be unlocked with 5 kills in a row and is the direct counter to the reconnaissance drone.
The reconnaissance drones belong to the strongest killstreaks in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – they show you on the minimap where opponents are located who are not using the perk “Ghost”. But even with “Ghost,” you can be visible in certain situations.
With the counter UAV, reconnaissance can be prevented – your minimap will be disrupted by the killstreak, and you will not see the outlines of the map or the pings of the enemies. The long duration of the counter UAV can be extremely annoying – but it doesn’t have to be.
Why is the counter UAV a joke? The thing has ridiculously few hit points. If you notice that the opponents are activating the killstreak, check the sky and watch for the small drone.

Fire a few rounds from your assault rifle at the counter UAV and it will come down. Your minimap will thank you – it will be ready for use again immediately.
Due to the strong reconnaissance drones, it may also be worthwhile for you to bring a rocket launcher. If you usually only play with your primary weapon, equip the “PILA” and take down the drone as soon as one appears.
With one hit, the reconnaissance bonus for your enemies is gone.
On September 25, 2009, the MMORPG Aion was released in Europe. Since then, there have been dozens of new updates. At the beginning of 2023, you will be able to experience the MMORPG from the beginning again. The Classic servers are launching in Europe. We at MeinMMO will reveal everything important to you.
What does the MMORPG offer at launch? Aion Classic is set to launch in Europe with the status of Patch 2.0 and some adjustments compared to the current MMORPG:
You will experience the PvE content up to level 55 on various maps and in dungeons such as Poeta of Darkness.
You will be able to play Rifts, Dredgions, and Fortress battles in PvP.
You will still have access to cool features like flying.
It will be Free2Play, but there are features like Daeva Pass and Siel’s Energy, which we will discuss in more detail later.
The Classic servers are intended to remain permanent and attract a lot of nostalgia, as some veterans view the current Aion as “pushed to death.” Furthermore, they are a great opportunity for new players to try Aion again. The publisher of the servers in Europe is Gameforge, which also manages the current Aion.
When will Aion Classic be released? The current release window is set for early 2023. There is no specific date yet.
We are excited to exclusively present to you the latest trailer for Aion Classic:

Aion Classic – Trailer for the EU Release
Classic servers launched in America with much hype, but there was also criticism
The Daeva Pass, for example, is a Battle Pass that offers various useful items in its premium variant, including coins for equipment. Additionally, some items could be sold for in-game currency in America, which some viewed as “indirect Pay2Win.”
How exactly the Battle Pass will look in the European version will be revealed to us in early 2023.
Additionally, there is Siel’s Energy, a subscription system. This is needed for players to trade with each other and access all items. Aion Classic is thus heavily restricted for Free2Play players.
How exactly the systems will look for us in Europe is still unknown.
What do you think about Aion Classic? Will you try the new, old version again? What makes Aion so interesting in your view?
