5 multiplayer games on Steam that players are eagerly anticipating at the end of 2022

Anny 15. November 2022 Reading time 5 minutes

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.

Genre: Survival shooter | Developer: Fnatic | Platform: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

Autoplay

What kind of game is this? In The Day Before, you must survive in a zombie apocalypse. The cause of the world’s downfall was a pandemic. To stay alive, you need to search for and craft food, weapons, and other useful items.

However, you won’t be fighting only zombies – an important aspect of The Day Before is PvP. You live in constant fear of being attacked by other players.

When is it coming out? The Day Before was initially set to release in 2022 but has been delayed. The new date is March 1, 2023. The shooter is expected to release directly in Unreal Engine 5.

Party Animals

Genre: Party game | Developer: Recreate Games | Platform: PC

What kind of game is this? Party Animals is a colorful casual game featuring cute animals. You play as a dog, cat, rabbit, or other animal, battling your opponents in various mini-games. You can grab, push, and shove opponents to secure victory.

If you enjoy games like Fall Guys, Pummel Party, and Gang Beasts, Party Animals is definitely for you.

When is it coming out? There is currently no release date for Party Animals. On Steam, it simply states “TBA,” and on the website, the developers encourage players to add the game to their wishlist.

Sons Of The Forest

Genre: Survival horror | Developer: Endnight Games Ltd | Platform: PC

What kind of game is this? Sons of the Forest is the sequel to the popular horror survival game The Forest from 2014. You crash land on an island in a plane where you must survive. In the first part, you’re looking for your son. In Sons Of The Forest, you search for a millionaire.

The sequel’s gameplay is similar to The Forest and takes place on the same map. However, it comes with several improvements. For example, there are now changing seasons that affect not only your survival struggle but also the various creatures on the island.

Additionally, further improvements include enhanced graphics and AI for your enemies. You even have more firearms, though ammunition is limited.

When is it coming out? The first postponed release was set for May 2022, before the planned release was moved to October 2022. Later, Endnight Games announced that they would not meet this date either. The new release date is set for February 2023.

What kind of game is this? ARK 2 is the direct sequel to the popular survival game ARK: Survival Evolved. However, it is said to differ from its predecessor in gameplay. For instance, there will be a Soulslike combat system. Additionally, it takes place on a brand new map called Arat.

Since the developers are using Unreal Engine 5, there will be very detailed weather, smoke, and even foliage. The environment constantly changes, and there are various events such as herd migrations, gatherings at watering holes, or injured creatures.

In ARK 2, there should also be the ability to build based on templates and use cross-platform mods.

When is it coming out? Originally, ARK 2 was supposed to be released in 2022, but in summer it was postponed to 2023. There is no exact date yet. Additionally, we know that ARK 2 will be available in the Xbox Game Pass for 3 years.

What kind of game is this? Kerbal Space Program 2 is the sequel to its namesake predecessor. You fly into space and take charge of an extraterrestrial space agency. You build spaceships and navigate them through space to discover new solar systems and cosmic secrets.

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.

One of the most annoying killstreaks in CoD MW2 is actually a joke – This is how to save your minimap

Maik Schneider 15. November 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Link to the Reddit content

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.

Sometimes it’s the small tricks that give you a big advantage. And they are not always as obvious as “the best weapons of Modern Warfare 2”.

Do you have any small tips that can be quickly implemented? Or perhaps comments on the drones in the game? Leave a comment on the topic.

MMORPG Aion is oriented towards the success of WoW – Now bringing Classic servers to Europe

Alexander Leitsch 15. November 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

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:

Classic servers launched in America with much hype, but there was also criticism

Where are there already Classic servers? The Classic servers were launched in America on June 23, 2021. At that time, there was a great rush and over 30,000 players were in queues. However, there is also criticism of the new servers.

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?

Intel develops AI to prevent you from falling for fake videos

Benedikt Schlotmann 15. November 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

With artificial intelligence, fake videos can be generated that look real. Intel is now developing an AI that is supposed to detect such videos. You can read about how this works in this article.

Imagine this: A well-known actor appears in a video. But the video isn’t real, as the face of the actor has been overlaid on the face of someone else with the help of AI. So, someone completely different is shown in the video.

How real such a “fake” can look is demonstrated by a video with Bruce Willis, who wasn’t even present during the filming of the movie, as reported by the colleagues from GameStar.

This technique is also called “Deepfake”. Intel is now developing an AI that is intended to detect these so-called “deepfakes” quickly and securely.

FakeCatcher is supposed to help expose “fake” people

What exactly has Intel introduced? The company has developed a project in collaboration with an artificial intelligence called “FakeCatcher”. This is a technology specifically designed to detect fake videos like deepfakes. Allegedly, it aims to achieve an accuracy of 96% within milliseconds.

How exactly is this supposed to work? Intel explains that many other tools trying to detect deepfakes analyze the raw data in the files. Intel wants to take a different approach with FakeCatcher. FakeCatcher is to be trained to recognize real people. The AI is supposed to pay attention to details that distinguish humans from images. This includes specific movements or the blood circulation of body parts.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

Can it be tried out already? No, not yet. But Intel is developing a web-based platform that could be accessible to everyone in the future. It is still not known whether Intel will make FakeCatcher available only to professional users or also to regular consumers.

What an AI is capable of doing, is something a group of researchers wanted to test. They wanted to find out what happens when an AI is supposed to develop dangerous side effects for a drug:

Researchers want to prove what an evil AI can do – It designs 40,000 chemical weapons in 6 hours

Artificial intelligence already plays a role in gaming

Artificial intelligence is also expected to improve in games. For example, Sony is currently developing an AI that is supposed to make artificial companions and your opponents smarter. This could make games where you need support from AI players significantly easier.

However, not everything could become easier due to AI: Raid bosses are considered a major challenge in MMOs, especially when they have just been released. However, over time, players learn all the mechanics and defeat the bosses with ease. Microsoft is reportedly working on an artificial intelligence that will prevent you from easily defeating every raid boss in the future:

Microsoft is working on a new AI that makes raid bosses in MMOs unbeatable

Lost Ark takes the servers offline for hours to reclaim gifted items from players

Mark Sellner 15. November 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

On November 14th, the servers of Lost Ark unexpectedly went offline for several hours. The reason was to take back gifts from players. Although that ultimately did not happen, players are nonetheless quite angry. We from MeinMMO explain the situation.

What was given away? On the morning of November 14th, fans of Lost Ark were initially very happy. For after logging in, they were greeted by a message from Amazon in their inboxes. This again contained the warning that unsaved tripods will disappear on November 16th.

But not only that, this message was accompanied by a combat item chest, a card package, and above all, 10 Pheons. Pheons are a real-money currency needed in-game to purchase valuable items on the market.

Every character on every account received this message, which quickly led to excitement. If someone actually occupied all 24 available character slots, they received 240 Pheons as a gift. This corresponds to about 40 € worth.

What was the problem? However, some fans quickly wanted to take advantage of this and learned that this gift was also received for newly created characters. They therefore created characters, collected the Pheons, and deleted them again. Although some people on reddit say it wasn’t so easy to reproduce, that is the official statement from Amazon (via Lost Ark Forums).

Shortly thereafter, Lost Ark shut down the servers to prevent the exploit, but that was only the beginning of the debacle.

Not even in the difficult Legion Raids can you drop Pheons:

Lost Ark wants to take gifts away from players but then backtracks

How does Amazon react? While the servers are offline for almost 6 hours, Amazon stated in the forum that they want to delete all distributed gifts and Pheons. Once players log back in, nothing of that should remain.

At this point, the developers also promise an apology for all players for the long downtime. However, it is still unknown what exactly that will look like.

Quickly, feedback pours in from players, who think it is a shame that such a great gift is taken away just because a few people misbehaved.

The backtrack really angers fans: When the servers came back online in the evening, some people excitedly noticed that they still possessed their Pheons. Amazon announced on Twitter that they ultimately decided to leave the gifts on the accounts since they could quickly intervene before the exploit spread.

However, this sparked a whole new shitstorm. Because the mails with the gifts were no longer sent after the server shutdown. While all the people who were online before the shutdown of the servers get to keep their Pheons, everyone who did not manage to do so initially receives nothing.

Community is angry and disappointed with how Amazon is handling the situation

Why are people angry? Lost Ark has managed to step on everyone’s toes with the entire situation. People who were not logged in are upset about simply not receiving anything (via reddit).

Even those who were allowed to keep their gifts are disappointed that there was ultimately a lengthy server downtime where nothing happened at all. The mere fact that the servers were offline disturbs many.

Because since the update last week, the servers of Lost Ark have been suffering from severe performance problems. Lag spikes and connection drops have been an everyday occurrence for the entire week.

Some fans are disappointed that due to “a few euros worth of Pheons,” the servers are shut down immediately, but nothing was done about the massive problems for days. Currently, no one is really happy with the situation (via reddit).

Even the promised compensation is meeting resistance from some users. Because a compensation that all players are supposed to receive was promised. Many do not like that the early birds receive Pheons and compensation.

It remains to be seen whether Amazon wants to resolve the entire situation differently. They promised a statement within the next 24 hours that was on the evening of November 14th. We will update this article as soon as we know more.

Christos Tsogos 15. November 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite, the servers are down today, November 15, across all platforms (PC, Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, Android). The maintenance is being used to upload the new Update 22.40 to the servers. Preliminary patch notes for the update can be found here.

What is happening today in Fortnite? Again, the servers in Fortnite are being taken offline. This is the last update for Season 4. After this, the BR shooter is preparing for its live event and the upcoming Chapter 4.

Update, 12:00 PM: The update has been rolled out and is 4,541 GB on PS5. After downloading, you can log in. We have added the patch notes for you below.

Additionally, the story behind Season 4 could be continued. Patch 22.40 could thus bring new quests, items, weapons, and more to the map to prepare you for the upcoming “Nothing”.

Patch notes for Update 22.40

Collaboration with Rocket League: Fortnite is having another crossover with Rocket League. Players can cruise with the Octane on the BR map and run over many opponents with it.

Fortnite-rocket-league — This is the Octane

New item – The Grappler: With the Grappler, you can pull yourself towards walls or floors like with any other grappler, and this time even pull your glider out of your pocket. A new gadget that will certainly help you escape from tight situations.

New LTM – 40vs.40: Fortnite has a new limited-time mode where two teams of 40 players each face off. The new mode starts at 4 PM German time. So if you’re up for a massive battle, you should definitely try this mode.

Combat Lab is being Vaulted: The Combat Lab will no longer be found in the game starting from Version 23.00. Instead, you can select the still current BR map in the Creative mode starter islands and design or explore it as you wish.

Fire button changed on mobile devices: Players can no longer interact with things using the fire button. Additionally, new symbols for eating and drinking will be implemented for mobile devices.

Competitive notes: The Octane from the crossover with Rocket League is not available in competitive game modes.

Important bug fixes: A bug has been fixed that caused certain outfits from Battle Passes from previous seasons to be missing colors.

Fortnite: Server Down – When and how long are they offline?

This is the downtime in the morning: According to Epic Games, the servers are expected to go down at 10:00 AM German time to install Update 22.40. Matchmaking is already disabled 30 minutes prior, so you won’t be able to search for new rounds after 9:30 AM.

Players criticize missing mode and game crashes

Is there criticism from players? Yes, players primarily criticize the technical problems and bugs of the shooter. On Steam, players refer to CoD MW2 as the “Crashing Simulator 2022”.

After the developers subsequently deactivated the so-called attachment tuning to counter the crashes, some players said they didn’t want the feature back at all.

CoD MW2 performs better on Metacritic than CoD: Vanguard

Popular RPG on Steam costs only 14 € on sale – “If you like D&D, you will love this game”

Marie Friske 15. November 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is an RPG on Steam, based on the popular “Pen & Paper“ game Dungeons & Dragons. It is mainly praised as the digital adaptation of the tabletop game by players. Currently, the game is on sale, costing only €14 instead of €40.

What kind of game is Solasta: Crown of the Magister? It is a turn-based RPG that functions in the manner of Dungeons & Dragons. It is officially licensed by D&D creator Wizards of the Coast and is based on the 5th Edition of the well-known tabletop game.

Dungeons & Dragons is a “Pen and Paper” game that is actually played as an analog role-playing game with friends at the table.

In true DnD fashion, you explore ruins and dungeons in Solasta: Crown of the Magister and search for legendary treasures. You must uncover secrets and prevent a great catastrophe that threatens the world of Solasta.

You experience adventures in a group of four characters, fighting against enemies and making decisions that influence the story.

Here you can see the release trailer for Solasta: Crown of the Magister:

Autoplay

Character creation and turn-based combat with dice

How does gameplay work in Solasta: Crown of the Magister? The player can either create a character themselves or choose a pre-made character. There are various classes available, each with different abilities.

Additionally, other aspects of the character are defined, such as backstory, moral values, and virtues. This way, you build a versatile character whose traits then affect their behavior – and also how the NPCs in the game react to you.

The battles take place in rounds. You can move, cast spells, or attack the opponent. The order of who gets to act is determined by a dice roll.

Is there a multiplayer mode in Solasta: Crown of the Magister? At the release of the game in May 2021, it was initially a single-player title. However, this changed when a coop update allowed playing with others in Solasta: Crown of the Magister on April 14, 2022.

In multiplayer mode, depending on the number of players, you control one or more characters of the group. You are usually independent of the other players regarding movements and actions.

Certain decisions, such as taking a rest, are made collectively, and cutscenes are also played for all players.

Here you can see a video with the most important information about the coop mode in the game:

Players recommend it especially for DnD fans

How does Solasta: Crown of the Magister rate on Steam? The game is rated very well by the Steam community. Of the 12,127 reviews, 89% are positive (as of November 15, 2022, via Steam).

In reviews, players especially praise the game as a good implementation of tabletop D&D as a digital game:

User Smidling: “Fantastic game! The closest thing I’ve seen to D&D in digital form! Congratulations!”
User Dababa: “If you grew up with D&D, it’s a great game with a lot of potential to get even better in the future.”

A D&D player elaborates in his review of Solasta:

If you like D&D, you will love this game!

It’s a great game that you can play with friends or alone. It follows the main rules of D&D 5e. The DLCs have all been worth it, as they added great party and class options.

There are the main scenarios that provide many hours of gameplay, as well as a range of player-created workshop scenarios!

I really enjoyed playing it with my gaming group when we couldn’t meet in person. It really gave me more ideas on how to better use my spells in my D&D games in the future, from light spells to spells that control an area.
User Tigerdrow via Steam

Is Solasta: Crown of the Magister worth it? MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus checked out Solasta: Crown of the Magister and even played coop with the developers. Although he has only spent a few hours in the game itself, he can draw on many games as a reference:

First of all: I am a huge fan of tabletop role-playing games, have been playing Dungeons & Dragons and Das Schwarze Auge in several groups for years. Accordingly, I am always excited about pen-and-paper implementations on the PC.

Solasta is still very high on my “Pile of Shame” of games I urgently need to finish. However, I have looked at it for a few hours and really had fun with the character creation and the world. All characters feel like they fit well into the world.

However, this is also a certain weakness. Solasta feels a bit like a pre-scripted D&D adventure, where everything is scripted. Since the player characters, unlike in the Pathfinder games, are always player-created, they have no personal interactions with the world or with one another – at least not outside their pre-scripted behaviors.

Nevertheless, after just over 20 hours, I already like the storytelling a lot and I would probably have finished the game already if Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous hadn’t come in the way some time ago.

WoW: Preview of the Caller, the new class in Dragonflight

Benedict Grothaus 15. November 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

On November 16, you can play the new class in World of Warcraft before the release of Dragonflight. The Evokers of the Dracthyr are the first class that is firmly tied to a race. To get you in the mood, here are some details about the new class and the new race.

What kind of class is that? Evokers are ranged fighters with chain armor who can heal and deal damage. They harness the power of the dragonflights and are linked to the Dracthyr race. This means: every Dracthyr is an Evoker, every Evoker is a Dracthyr.

Evokers are one of the major features of the upcoming expansion Dragonflight and the first class in 6 years. The last class introduced was the Demon Hunters in Legion in 2016.

However, before the release of Dragonflight, you can already create and level Dracthyr starting November 16, so that you are ready at launch. In a new blog post, Blizzard provides an overview of the class once again.

You can find all important information about the Evokers of the Dracthyr in our special here. We have some gameplay footage for you from the alpha of Dragonflight:

Autoplay

More customization “than grains of sand in the universe”

What makes Evokers so special? The great strength of the Evokers is their mobility, as the developers explained to us in the interview. With various abilities, you fly around, gather allies, or even cast while moving. However, you are limited to 30 meters.

Evokers are the only class with the “empowered spells” mechanic. These change their effect or become stronger the longer you channel them. Through the new talent system of Dragonflight, you can customize your spells and choose abilities from the different dragonflights:

Red: Damage spells that mainly deal damage over time (“DoTs”) and area damage (“AoE”)
Blue: Damage spells that are usually strongest against 1-3 targets (“Cleave”)
Bronze: Healing spells that primarily prevent damage
Green: Direct healing spells and healing over time (“HoTs”)
Black: Abilities with mixed or defensive properties

A detailed guide to the Evoker can be found in the new GameStar special issue for WoW: Dragonflight, which MeinMMO also contributed to. The guide was created in collaboration with us.

Like Demon Hunters, you can slow and even control your fall. Additionally, Dracthyr can use their wings to actually fly, similar to dragon riding in Dragonflight.

As the only race, you can also customize Dracthyr with dozens of options. This includes everything from the color of their scales and the shape of their horns to ornaments and armor, as Dracthyr do not display equipment in their dragon form.

MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus liked the Evokers so much that he will be playing a caster in Dragonflight for the first time in 12 years instead of a melee character:

When can I play Evoker? As soon as Phase 2 of Patch 10.0, the pre-patch for Dragonflight, is released, Dracthyr will be playable. This is expected to happen on November 16. Elemental invasions will also go live at that time, the pre-event for the expansion.

To create a Dracthyr, you must have pre-ordered and activated Dragonflight. Otherwise, you will not have access to the new race and the new class.

If you want to catch up with a character for Dragonflight, you should do that right now. The bonuses are currently absurdly strong:

After a year, Eintracht Spandau takes stock: HandOfBlood’s team is a huge gain for the German LoL scene

Alexander Leitsch 15. November 2022 Reading time 7 minutes

On November 14, 2021, YouTuber HandOfBlood announced that he would launch an eSports team in League of Legends. This team was called Eintracht Spandau and was set to shake up the German LoL scene. This is now a year ago, and we at MeinMMO are taking stock.

What is special about the team? HandOfBlood and his agency INSTINCT3 had big plans with Eintracht Spandau. They participated directly at the start of the Spring Season 2022 of the Prime League, the highest German-speaking LoL league. There, they wanted to create a stir primarily through storytelling:

HandOfBlood portrayed himself as a successful, but somewhat foolish and emotional president. His scuffle with the head of the Berlin competitor BiG is unforgettable.
The LoL streamer Broeki became the janitor and commentator of the co-streams.
Every match was accompanied by a lot of fuss on Twitch. Notable names such as Maxim, a former LoL shoutcaster, were guests in the streams.
There were press conferences like the big football teams.
Besides the team itself, a huge fan base also supported the project. On Twitter, you can find numerous accounts that present themselves as fan clubs of Eintracht Spandau and produce additional content.

HandOfBlood proclaimed during the presentation of Eintracht Spandau that they aimed to land among the top teams in the Prime League in the long term. Moreover, the big goal was to win the European Masters, the highest European tournament behind the professional league LEC.

However, in the first year, not everything went according to plan. Especially in terms of sports, there is room for improvement, as head coach Christoph “nRated” Seitz told us. Appropriately, there are also some roster changes for the 2023 season.

Disastrous start brought mockery, but a small miracle followed

How did Eintracht Spandau start in 2022? Very modestly. The first four games in a row were lost immediately. We at MeinMMO mocked back then: If they are losing this often right from the start, how can they win a title at the EU Masters?

However, the team showed character right from the first split. They were able to win match number 5 for the first time, and immediately euphoria broke out. The players and fans celebrated the victory like a real football team – with drinks and singing in front of a pub.

The victory was extremely important for morale, as Johannes Gorzel, the Co-CEO of INSTINCT3, revealed to us:

Our most important victory in 2022 was right away the first one, against Wave in the first half of the Prime League. Actually, it was a match against the bottom team without great prestige, but for us it was the relief after a 0:4 start to the league. We celebrated it like some other teams do with their derby wins.

Indeed, the victory against Wave marked a turning point, even though immediately afterward there was a loss against Berlin International Gaming, the “arch-enemy” of Spandau. This was also where the aforementioned scuffle occurred, which we embedded as a video again:

How did Eintracht Spandau make it to the playoffs? After six match days, it looked like Eintracht Spandau would not play a major role in their first split. But that changed.

The team discovered a special mechanic that helped them win over and over again: the dragons. They secured the first dragon every single time in the upcoming matches and usually added more afterwards. They approached the dragon soul so quickly that the opposing teams had to react. Eintracht Spandau took advantage of this ruthlessly.

By the end of the season, they won 8 games in a row and only lost to GamerLegion in the second half. They even achieved second place and qualified for the playoffs for their first entry into the EU Masters.

How did the playoffs go? Curiously. Right at the start, Eintracht Spandau (second place) and GamerLegion (first place) played to see who would need to face an ascending competitor in the semifinals and who would go directly to the finals.

Eintracht Spandau easily swept GamerLegion off the field with 3:0. Suddenly, they were seen as a great hope for Germany. However, GamerLegion made it to the final and took revenge. They sent HandOfBlood’s team home with 3:0 and took the title. A bitter day:

The worst defeat of the entire year was the final in the Spring Split. Had we won there, it would have been the ultimate storyline. We started weak with a losing streak, fought back, and would have ended the split as titans. But it just wasn’t meant to be.
Kevin Westphal, head of the sports department at Eintracht Spandau

Entry into the EU Masters Spring and the next disappointment

What followed after the Spring Split? The best teams from the Prime League entered the EU Masters. This is a tournament in which the best teams from all over Europe compete for the trophy. The EU Masters take place once in spring and once in summer.

With the second place in the Spring Split, Eintracht Spandau directly made the jump into the tournament, but they didn’t get far. They were eliminated early in the group stage.

Although they won against the Serbian team Crvena zvezda Esports, that was also the obligatory win. They lost against the French team Vitality.Bee and the Polish team AGO. Although the team of HandOfBlood showed morale in the end and eventually defeated the group leader, it wasn’t enough to advance.

In the end, both AGO and Vitality.Bee reached the semifinals, but ultimately the team Karmine Corp, featuring the pro Rekkles, won the EU Masters Spring 2022.

Strong start in the Summer Split – will it be enough for the title this time?

How did the second half of the season go? In May, the Summer Split in the Prime League started. Eintracht Spandau aimed for the title and immediately did everything right at the start.

After three match days, the team had won all matches and even had time for a little mischief. As four teams stood jointly in first place, they renamed themselves to Aintracht Spandau – because the table was sorted alphabetically. Thus, they briefly held first place.

Matches four and five could still be won, but then the team fell into a slump. Match days 6, 8, and 9 were lost, and the second half also began with a defeat.

In the end, they only managed to secure fifth place, but at least qualified for the playoffs. However, they dramatically lost 2:3 against Schalke 04 Esports, who ultimately secured second place. Thus, Eintracht Spandau also missed the qualification for the EU Masters in the summer.

The last chance: the Prime League Supercup

What happened next? The last major tournament of the year was the Prime League Super Cup, a new format. There, the teams from the Prime League, Prime League 2, Prime League 3, and four invited teams competed.

Eintracht Spandau confidently advanced with a 6:0 record through the group stage and won their first match in the knockout phase. However, they were stopped in the quarter-finals against SK Gaming Prime. In the end, Hertha BSC from the second league won, followed by BiG in second place along with SK Gaming Prime and Kaufland Hangry Knights in third/fourth place.

The Kaufland Hangry Knights are an interesting team as the grocery retailer offered a scholarship and gaming house, and over 500 applicants competed for a spot on the team. They started in the fourth league but will already be playing in league two in 2023:

von Alexander Leitsch

How did the year go for HandOfBlood’s team? For Eintracht Spandau, the first year as a team ended up being disappointing overall. There was no title and only one qualification for the EU Masters. Coach nRated told us:

From a sporting point of view, we could have achieved more; thus, we are satisfied with the performance of the individual players, but not with the end result. There was more potential.

Eintracht Spandau is a huge asset for the German LoL scene

Was everything bad in 2022? No, because Eintracht Spandau achieved an incredible number of milestones. HandOfBlood and his team’s biggest wish was to shake up the German LoL scene. And they succeeded.

In 2021, an average of nearly 4,091 people watched the streams of the Prime League.
In 2022, it was 9,215 on average.
In 2021, the peak viewership reached 38,000. However, the second-largest stream only attracted 23,000 viewers at its peak.
In April 2022, there were over 43,000 viewers, and later, thanks to NNO, a team of streamers, even over 78,000 people watched at their peak.
Additionally, Eintracht Spandau launched their Twitch channel with almost 11,000 viewers on average and 37,000 at peak.

Moreover, many more media reported on the German league. We ourselves at MeinMMO wrote more than 20 articles about the team, and even general media outlets like Der Tagesspiegel and Sportschau took interest in the topic.

For Eintracht Spandau, it also went well. Their YouTube channel had already gained 100,000 subscribers by February and is now a Twitch partner.

Is there still more to achieve? INSTINCT3 is not satisfied yet. Especially in international comparison, the German league lags significantly behind France and Spain, where an average of 20,000 people watch and peak viewership exceeds 100,000.

We need to generate more enthusiasm for the league and its characters. And all this requires the teams, the league, and the media to step up. None of these groups are exactly shining right now.

If NNO had been promoted to the first division of the Prime League, this problem would likely have solved itself. That’s why it’s unfortunate that it didn’t work out.
Johannes Gorzel, Co-CEO of INSTINCT3

Coach nRated sees the sporting aspect as especially important:

It is also important that the sporting perception of the Prime League fundamentally changes in the European comparison. For this, there must be Prime League teams that take the sporting aspect seriously and make an impact in the EU Masters semifinals and finals. We plan to contribute to that.

Kevin Westphal also wishes that other German teams would follow suit and create their own storytelling. He jokingly says: “Anyone who takes on the tough challenge of creating a YouTube channel will get a ‘Eintracht Spandau’ cap from me as a gift.”

In a podcast, we discussed in detail with Johannes Gorzel and Kevin Westphal about Eintracht Spandau and the idea behind the team:

A sporting reorganization for 2023

What’s next for Eintracht Spandau? It is certain that the old team will not be taken completely into the new season. Currently, all five players are allowed to explore the market and seek offers from new teams. What the roster for 2023 will look like is still unknown.

In addition to player changes, the organization is also working on itself. Johannes Gorzel states about the future:

We will continue to provide the best infrastructure of all Prime League teams. Aside from that, it is now important to apply many learnings that an organization collects in its first year. Eintracht Spandau will approach 2023 with a strengthened understanding of team dynamics, processes, requirements, and the necessary roster.

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Porygon and Candy Bonus

Patrick Freese 15. November 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on November 15, the Spotlight Hour featuring Porygon starts in Pokémon GO. We will show you everything about the bonuses, shinies, and times of the short event.

What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, there is a so-called Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. During the 60-minute event, a selected Pokémon is in focus and is accompanied by a bonus. At the beginning of a month, Niantic usually reveals which Pokémon and bonuses will be active in the events over the following weeks.

Today you will encounter Porygon from the first generation and receive more candies. We will show you all the details in the overview and explain whether the event is worth it today.

Spotlight Hour on November 15 – Start, Bonuses, Shiny

When does the Spotlight Hour start? As usual, the event begins at 6:00 PM local time. It will be active for an hour and ends at 7:00 PM.

What bonuses are there? During the Spotlight Hour, you will encounter Porygon almost everywhere in the wild. If you activate incense, it will also lure in more of the event Pokémon.

Additionally, you will receive double the amount of candies for catching Pokémon. Keep in mind that this also applies to non-event Pokémon.

We will show you all other Spotlight Hours for this month in the overview:

Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today? Porygon and its evolutions Porygon2 and Porygon-Z are generally not very strong. If you are hoping for a great attacker, you will be disappointed today.

However, the candy bonus may be worth it for you. If you complete raids during the Spotlight Hour, you will also receive double candies for catches. This could be interesting for some trainers who are eyeing the current raids.

Pokémon GO: The new top raids are great, but trainers demand: ‘Niantic should remove them’

Franzi Korittke 15. November 2022 Reading time 5 minutes

In Pokémon GO, special top raids took place again on Sunday, November 13, 2022, offering players a new challenge. However, some trainers are convinced that Niantic should prefer to remove the raids for now. We at MeinMMO looked at what happened.

Which raids are in question? Since October, there has been a new type of raid in Pokémon GO: the top raids. These can only be played on-site and are a bit harder than you are used to from other raids.

They offer players a new challenge that they have been waiting for a long time. However, despite many positive reactions, the top raids are currently facing some criticism. We looked at what happened and what the trainers are now demanding.

That’s why trainers are complaining about the new top raids

Why is there criticism of the top raids? In addition to an encounter with the mysterious Pokémon Hoopa (Unleashed), players should be rewarded with special spawns for 15 minutes after the raids, which are supposed to allow encounters with legendary monsters like Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres.

On Sunday, November 13, 2022, it was finally time again, and you had the opportunity at 11:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 5:00 PM local time to battle against Hoopa. However, the subsequent bonus spawns simply did not appear for some trainers, leading to considerable frustration in the community.

What happened after the top raids? As reddit user Pokecrafter320 explains in his post, he and 12 other trainers did one of the top raids at 2:00 PM at their local arena. After defeating the raid boss and capturing it, however, there was no sign of the bonus spawns.

But the trainer and his friends had hoped so much for these. He writes:

I know I’m definitely not alone in this. You go to your local arena because remote raid passes are not allowed, you hope you have enough people to defeat the raid, you defeat it, you hopefully catch it, and then nothing. I just went through this today with 12 other people. We did a top raid at 2 PM, hoping that there would be a few rarer spawns afterward, and we got absolutely nothing. No confetti, no rare spawns, just a timer.
Pokecrafter320 via reddit.com

What are the experiences of other trainers? Looking at the comments and other reddit posts, it quickly becomes clear that Pokecrafter320 shares this fate with some other trainers. They also did not receive these spawns. The problem is repeatedly reported. Trainer BonLee64 also reports the following in his reddit post:

No special spawns after the Hoopa raid? I managed to join a raid group at 2 PM, defeated and caught Hoopa, and… nothing happened. I walked around the area, restarted the phone and the app to see if something would happen. No bueno. The rarest Pokémon I saw was Wailmer, and my game screen flickered between the Rocket radar color scheme and the normal one. Did anyone else have similar problems?
BonLee64 via reddit.com

The bad part for Pokecrafter320 is that this problem has not just existed since this weekend. Already after the first top raid event on October 16, 2022, many players complained that they did not receive the subsequent spawns. In addition, criticism of the difficulty of the raids has arisen, as many trainers are needed to complete them.

In particular, players in rural areas see themselves at a disadvantage because there are often fewer players there, and they also have to travel to the respective arenas. All the more incomprehensible for Pokecrafter320 that no improvements have been made here yet and he presents his thoughts in the reddit post.

“Niantic should remove top raids until the bug is fixed”

What demand does Pokecrafter320 make? As Pokecrafter320 explains in his post, he finds it incomprehensible that after a month there are still no changes regarding the bonus spawns. Thus, he primarily demands (via reddit.com): “Niantic should remove top raids until the spawn bug is fixed”.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Reddit content

But that’s not enough. Pokecrafter320 has even more ideas on how Niantic could address this problem and thus calm the trainers a bit. He also calls on other reddit users to share their ideas in the comments. In his post, he addresses the following words directly to Niantic:

If you’re not going to fix the spawns, at least make the raid rewards better. I’m not going to do a 6-star raid just to get a fraction of the 5-star rewards and a Knursp. Add some XL Rare Candies or a Premium Charge/Instant TM, or if you don’t want to give rare items, increase the amount of regular items to at least 1.5 times that of 5-star raids.

Temporarily remove the top raids and fix the spawns. Right now, there’s almost no incentive to do them, and having the spawns actually work is a good way to fix that. When I found out that Lin-Fu, Libelldra, Dragoran, and the Kanto birds spawn afterward, that was an incentive to do it. Without that, it’s just another boring raid boss.

Here’s another possible alternative to fixing the spawns or even increasing the rewards: make the boss shiny. I’d much rather do a shiny-capable raid boss than a non-shiny-capable one. Because if there’s at least a chance of a shiny, you have a chance of getting something that’s worth it.

If anyone has other ideas, feel free to leave a comment with your own idea. I hope Niantic sees this, but since they didn’t last time, I don’t hold out too much hope this time…
Pokecrafter320 via reddit.com

Further ideas: And other players are also convinced that a lot needs to change regarding the new top raids. They would even consider the bonus spawns less important if the raids themselves were easier to complete. Various comments can be read (via reddit.com):

NarutoSakura1: “I just want them to be easier. Living in the countryside and not having a local group to help me is tough.”

steameruption: “But seriously, Niantic needs to learn to properly launch their features before they bombard us with all kinds of unacceptable bugs. Zorua was a dreadful experience and is still not fixed, now this too!”

Gaindolf: “I think the top raid concept is cleaner when there’s just a time period available. They should make the rewards and spawns better for that.”

Counterarguments: Other trainers, on the other hand, don’t understand Pokecrafter320’s harsh demands. They don’t do the top raids because of the subsequent spawns, but because of the mysterious Pokémon. As GatekeeperTDS writes (via reddit.com): “Why should we take away the opportunity for people to catch a mysterious Pokémon just because the spawns aren’t great anyway?”

And user thehatteryone sees it similarly (via reddit.com). He also believes that you do the raid because of the boss and not because of the subsequent spawns. For this reason, it would be the simplest solution for him if Niantic removed the bonus spawns until the problem is fixed. Therefore, trainers would have more time to focus on the raids instead of chasing after rewards in his view.

Whether Niantic will address the issue with the bonus spawns remains to be seen. However, if there is any new information, you will definitely find it with us at MeinMMO.

What’s your opinion on the new top raids? Did you get the spawns after the raid? Or didn’t you secure Hoopa at all? Feel free to let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments and engage with other trainers on this topic.

Players in WoW Classic are angry, report problems, wait 40 days for a response and aren’t even allowed to respond

Benedict Grothaus 15. November 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, those trying to reach the customer support of WoW Classic are greeted with wait times of over a month. Players have been complaining about this situation for weeks. The first to receive replies are extremely dissatisfied with them.

What is the problem? Those who wish to report a bug, an issue, or an obviously unintended strong item in WoW Classic usually write a ticket to support. There, the issue is processed and forwarded.

However, those currently reporting an issue in WotLK Classic have to expect long wait times. On reddit, users report waiting between 30 and 55 days, which has been the case since the expansion’s release on September 27.

At the beginning of an expansion, it is normal for the number of tickets to be higher, as there are more new players and potentially more problems to solve. However, WotLK Classic is still in this state a month and a half later. In the meantime, the first 3 raids have even appeared, which are likely to lead to even more tickets.

You can see the rush on WotLK directly at the release:

Start video

At the release of WotLK Classic, hundreds of players are squeezing onto a boat and I am right in the middle

Autoplay

Why players are upset: A player reports waiting the full time for a response. The reply was just an automated message with links to the forum (via reddit). The ticket itself was then archived, so the player can no longer respond.

Another player reports the same, having waited even 40 days for their ticket. This issue keeps appearing on reddit, where users complain about the wait times.

Moreover, it is not even WotLK Classic’s fault; the wait times have been this long since Burning Crusade. A player notes that this is exactly why they have stopped playing (via reddit).

Tickets answered only after over 30 days – What’s going on?

Does it really take that long? We created a ticket for testing (and closed it immediately to avoid burdening support further). The wait time should be over 33 days.

In the community, players are reporting wait times of up to 55 days, showing screenshots of the relevant notification. The wait times are therefore quite plausible.

Why does it take so long? In Blizzard’s replies, they mention an “increased volume” of tickets, which is causing the processing time to be extended. WotLK Classic now has more active players than WoW Classic ever did, and Overwatch 2 and the pre-patch for WoW Dragonflight featuring many of the expansion’s features were released relatively simultaneously. It is probably leading to an disproportionately high number of tickets.

However, fans suspect several reasons behind this. They speculate that Blizzard is either prioritizing differently and limiting customer service in favor of development work or simply employing fewer support staff. Whether this is true, we cannot say yet. MeinMMO asked Blizzard directly for the reasons, but a response is still pending.

MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus hopes that the situation will improve soon. Because WotLK Classic is his “feel-good” WoW, and he is really looking forward to Dragonflight:

For 12 years, WoW has been dying, but now Blizzard is doing (almost) everything right again

FIFA 23: Players Demand Finally Fix for Overpowered Trivela Shot – See the Goalkeeper as a Problem

Alexander Leitsch 15. November 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

The trivela shot in FIFA 23 is a pain point for many players. This special shooting technique is currently extremely strong in high leagues, and the goalkeeper often performs quite clumsily when attempting to defend. Since the release, a fix has been requested, but now it’s heating up again on reddit.

Update November 15: EA has indeed announced a patch that will address the issue. Shots with the outside of the foot will have a 30% lower accuracy in the future. Exception: If the player has the relevant outside foot skill. Then the accuracy will only be reduced by 10%.

We have summarized all the contents of the update here in the overview of the FIFA 23 Title Update 4 Patch Notes.

What kind of shot is this? The outside foot shot – also known as the trivela shot – is one of the new shooting techniques introduced with FIFA 23. It is technically a bit more challenging than the “normal” shot with the inside of the foot. The Portuguese Ricardo Quaresma was feared and admired for his trivela shots in real life.

The execution of the shot is actually quite simple. Just press:

L2 and Circle (shoot button) on the PS controller
LT and B (shoot button) on the Xbox controller
Additionally, you need to charge the shot to at least three bars

The difficult part is the right positioning. Ideally, you stand with a right foot on the right edge of the penalty area or with a left foot on the left edge of the penalty area. Now you shoot the ball into the far corner with the outside of your foot.

This shot looks not only good but is also incredibly effective. Too effective, according to the players. Even players with a shot power of 49 can easily score from outside the penalty area.

The YouTuber Dylan Banks has created a video about it:

Goalkeepers behave strangely during the trivela shot

What are the players complaining about? On reddit, a thread was opened discussing the shot and demanding a fix. The creator complains that the trivela shot scores for him in 9 out of 10 cases, even from somewhat crazy distances.

This feeling is confirmed by many users in the thread:

Jamesv93 writes: “It is completely broken and needs to be nerfed. I have noticed the shots especially on corners. People take a short corner, pass to the edge of the box, and just take a trivela shot as quickly as they can.”
Lejhonny complains: “When a defender with 60 shot power scores like that, you know it’s broken.”
Dylan Banks also provides a vivid example in his video. He scores with a player with 49 shot power. He states: “If you are at the right angle and hit the three bars, the ball goes in 80 or 90 percent of the time.”

The thread has gathered 160 upvotes and 80 comments within four hours. Currently, it is ranked 2nd in the FIFA subreddit. However, not all users are against the shot in general. It is said to be defendable due to the obvious positioning, but only with players outside of the goal.

What exactly is the problem? According to reddit users, the goalkeeper is mainly the big problem. He apparently behaves particularly dumb during trivela shots.

Often he jumps under the ball, even though it sometimes comes in at chest height. Furthermore, he sometimes jumps forward at the ball, even though the outside foot shot is supposed to go into the top corner.

labo_ explains the success of the shot as follows: “Goalkeepers cannot react and defenders cannot react. That is why players in higher divisions always use it. With shots using the outside of the foot, the goalkeeper simply forgets to parry. And the outside foot shot appears as if it had 100% accuracy without randomness. Maybe it’s the animation, I don’t know, but it’s unacceptable how OP L2 modifiers currently are.”

By the way, the power shot is also a strong tool for scoring goals. Here we explain how to use it:

Is a nerf coming? So far, EA has not commented on the shot. However, just last week there was a nerf of a popular technique with corners that was also considered too strong. So it’s possible that adjustments will be made here, even though players have been complaining about the trivela shot since the release.

What experiences have you had with the outside foot shot so far? Do you also find it too strong, or is there too much complaining?

Diablo 4 executives explain one of the biggest new features for 8 minutes

Dariusz Müller 15. November 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

In a recently released interview, Blizzard explains the open world of Diablo 4 and how it affects the story of the highly anticipated title.

Who speaks in the interview? Blizzard employees Rod Fergusson (General Manager) and Joe Shely (Game Director) spoke in an interview with the online magazine IGN about Diablo 4.

What kind of interview is it? IGN publishes excerpts from the interview on the YouTube channel of the magazine, featuring their discussions with Rod Fergusson and Joe Shely.

Just recently, a video of the interview revealed that Blizzard employees stated that Diablo 4 offers more challenges when players defeat powerful world bosses.

If you want to take a look at Diablo 4, we are embedding the gameplay trailer for the Druid, Sorceress, and Barbarian here:

Autoplay

The open world should showcase cool things without feeling like a task list

What does Blizzard say about the open world? Regarding the open world, Joe Shely says in the video it must showcase the different aspects of the game without turning the map into a task list. Players should not feel that they have to complete all 30 possible tasks visible on the map.

Moreover, it was essential for them when designing the map to make it clear whether a place has a coast, a chasm, a mountain, or similar features. Players should not wander around wondering, “How do I get down there?”

Furthermore, according to Rod Fergusson, the open world should allow a non-linear gameplay experience of the story and differ from games like “Zelda: Breath of the Wild.” Nevertheless, there should be a story that starts at a specific point and ends at another.

In between, however, players can choose the order in which they approach the story. Fergusson mentions that in Diablo 4, players can, for example, play Act 3 first after the prologue, and then Acts 1 and 2. When replaying the story, they can, therefore, change the order and start with their favorite section of the story.

Diablo 4 sacrifices an important comfort feature to be more realistic

von Benedict Grothaus

What will fill the open world? Although the world of Diablo 4 should not feel like a task list, there will still be side quests and similar content.

However, according to Fergusson, it seems more important in the design of the open world that Diablo 4 should not have an open world where there is a lot of downtime. The ARPG wants to avoid typical open-world aspects like long traveling or activities like playing poker or fishing that we know from games like Assassin’s Creed, Red Dead Redemption 2, or Far Cry.

Additionally, Fergusson states that Diablo 4 aims to offer players the possibility to stop anywhere on the map at any time and engage in combat against monsters through the “density” in the map design.

During development, there was, however, a point where the map was too “dense,” which was subsequently toned down. Generally, they did not want players to have to travel miles to see “cool stuff,” but the entire map should offer interesting things.

My new PC is as big as 2 apples and saves me 10 euros in electricity costs every month

Benedikt Schlotmann 15. November 2022 Reading time 5 minutes

MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann bought a mini-PC so that the gaming-PC doesn’t have to run all day long. And it has paid off for several reasons.

In Germany, electricity prices are rising sharply. I also looked around in my daily life to see where I could save electricity. And my gaze fell on my gaming-PC. Because I use this all day for work, but I don’t need most of the performance in my everyday life at all.

That’s why I had the idea to buy a mini-PC. They are often only as large as a book or a cookie tin, but are supposed to be much more economical and take up little space. For me, therefore, a way to save electricity and money while working on the PC.

Therefore, I ordered such a device and tried it out in my daily life for several weeks. I wasn’t looking to replace my gaming-PC.

With my new mini-PC, I save a lot of electricity and don’t have to give up anything in daily life

What kind of device is this? I bought the NiPoGi mini-PC for around 350 euros on Prime Day 2022. It is about the size of 2 apples side by side and comes with pre-installed Windows 11, power and HDMI cables. Inside it has

a Ryzen 7 3750H. This is a mobile processor that is usually installed in notebooks.
16 GB of RAM.
256 GB SSD storage. This can also be replaced and thus expanded.

On the back, there are 4 USB ports, a LAN socket, and both HDMI and DisplayPort connections. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are also included, and on the front, there is a headphone jack and a USB-C port.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

How did I measure consumption? I bought a power meter (wattmeter) that I connect directly to the socket. I read the following numbers directly from the device. A wattmeter on Amazon costs around 10 euros.

How much does a gaming-PC consume? My gaming-PC has a Ryzen 5 3600 and a Radeon RX 6700 XT installed. In addition, there is memory with RGB lighting, an HDD, and several fans that I have installed in the computer, as well as a CPU fan with RGB. In idle mode, the computer consumes an average of 100 watts. When I use the device actively for work, it quickly reaches 130 watts.

A colleague made a comparison with his system (Core i5 8600K, GTX 1080 Ti, no RGB RAM and lighting) and achieves 50 watts while working.

Basically, the consumption of my desktop system can be reduced with simple tricks: With AMD Ryzen Master, for instance, the performance of Ryzen CPUs can be limited, and a graphics card can be undervolted. The performance loss is also manageable.

How much does my mini-PC consume? The mini-PC consumes 25 – 30 watts in idle mode. Under load, it can go up to 35 watts.

On average, I save between 70 – 100 watts per hour compared to the gaming-PC, depending on the situation. For the pure working time of 8 to 9 hours, I already save at least 0.54 kWh per day.

When I then also do my dailies in Brawlhalla or Genshin Impact on my small system, I save 70 – 100 watts for two additional hours if I don’t start my gaming-PC.

How much do I save? With the current electricity prices, I save between 10 and 12 euros per month when I use my mini-PC and don’t turn on my gaming-PC.

Currently, I am mainly playing Persona 5 Royal on the Switch. Therefore, my gaming-PC remains turned off during the week after work. The Switch is not for nothing my hardware purchase of the year 2022.

What other advantages are there? I am quite flexible with the device and can take it anywhere. I always have a mouse and keyboard with me, as I don’t particularly like notebook keyboards. So I always have my stuff with me on a trip to the office or home.

I can game with the mini-PC if I forego details

Can I play with the mini-PC? The obvious disadvantage is that such a mini system is only limited for gaming. Gaming at 144 FPS in AAA titles is not possible.

However, gaming is quite possible with the device if you forgo details:

Genshin Impact runs smoothly on low to medium details, and I can complete my dailies or current events.
Older MMORPGs like Star Wars: The Old Republic also run in medium details on the mini-PC.
Also, several smaller games and indie titles like Brawlhalla run without problems.

Are there any other disadvantages? Another disadvantage is that the system is audible. When I work or actually play, I can hear the device lightly to moderately humming. The mini-PC is about as loud as my desktop-PC, which is under my desk. Whisper-quiet, as a review describes the model on Amazon, the device is definitely not.

Since I wear a headset while working or playing anyway, I hardly notice the noise, even though the device is next to my keyboard on the table.

I actually introduced my perfect gaming headset in the following article on MeinMMO:

More on the topic

I have searched for years for the perfect headset – Now I have found it and it wasn’t that expensive

von Benedikt Schlotmann

Many manufacturers now offer such mini-PCs

Are there also alternatives? The PC I mentioned here is just one option. If you look around on Amazon, you will find plenty of alternatives that provide similar performance.

The mini-PC from Snunmu on Amazon is already available with an Intel Celeron J4125 for around 200 euros and is therefore cheaper than my purchased model.
With the MINIS FORUM EliteMini HX90, there is also a powerful model in mini format, but the price is around 900 euros.

However, not all models are recommended. There are also old devices like the Fujitsu Esprimo Q920 or the HP EliteDesk 800 G2 from 2016 available. They usually cost only 100 euros but rely on outdated technology and are refurbished. In the worst case, there is then no update to Windows 11.

Anyone who wants to buy such a device and also wants to have some gaming reserves should look for a system with a Ryzen processor with “Vega Graphics”. Because the Vega chip outperforms Intel’s “HD Graphics” and is the better option if you want to play.

Other ways to save electricity: A power strip is also a good option if you want to save electricity in your everyday life. Many devices consume a few watts from the socket even when they are plugged in:

Can it harm if I switch off the power strip at the PC?

Lost Ark: Act quickly or you will lose important items with the update tomorrow

Mark Sellner 15. November 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In the November update on November 16, Lost Ark will fundamentally change how the Tripod system works in Tier 3. This means that you could lose some progress if you do not save it beforehand. We at MeinMMO explain the situation.

What are Tripods? Tripods are a mechanic in Lost Ark that you will get to know and use starting from Tier 3, i.e., from a gear score of 1,302. From this point on, equipment in Lost Ark has additional skill effects called Tripods.

These specifically improve certain aspects of the mentioned skills and make your life easier. Having the right Tripods on your equipment becomes really important later in the game and can make a huge difference in your gameplay.

Update: This article was originally published on November 4. We have updated it with new information and renewed it to remind you.

What is changing? A few months ago, there was a major update to the entire Tripod system in Korea. This is intended to make it easier to understand and handle in the future. Our western version will also receive this update with the November patch of Lost Ark.

During this transition, Tripods will move away from your equipment to your skills menu, which you can access via “K”. This is meant to be more intuitive and easier to understand, especially for new players. Tripods on your equipment will no longer exist, which is the key point.

A look at further new content for Korea can be found here:

Start video

Lost Ark: Trailer tempts with new continent and another class – But players in the West still have to wait

Autoplay

What do you need to do now? In every capital city of Lost Ark, there is an NPC where you can transfer your Tripods to other equipment or store them in an inventory. By the November update, you must have your Tripods stored in that inventory.

Unlike those on your equipment, which simply disappear, your stored inventory will be transferred to the new system, ensuring your progress is secured. You need to do this for each of your characters individually.

The November update is coming on November 16, likely from 9 AM. You still have time until then. However, after the update, keep in mind that you need to reapply your stored Tripods for them to be active.

“This will be terrible for people who do not read forums or patch notes”

How is this received by the fans? They have mixed feelings. Many are excited about the update, but some are also concerned, although not for themselves. Those who are already informed about what to expect are looking forward to the Tripod changes.

Many fans are worried about the mass of players who do not consume other media related to Lost Ark. Most of them will lose a lot of progress as soon as the update comes and will not understand why.

This problem could be alleviated by an in-game notification, which Amazon has implemented with the patch on November 9.

Others do not quite understand why Smilegate does not just program it in a way that equipped Tripods are also secured. However, there is no answer to this other than that it just is.

Many fans therefore find it important that this message reaches a large part of the players. Especially those who are currently not playing actively, as they are likely to lose the most since they would not receive in-game announcements.

What does the community say? In a thread on reddit, which also informs about the topic, some fans are eagerly discussing. We will let some of them speak (via reddit):

kryu says: “They just roll out a new system and expect users to adjust, otherwise they lose all their hard work. How hard can it be to transfer the equipped Tripods into the new system? You can only shake your head.”
MaraSov is worried: “Korea had an in-game notification for two weeks before the update announcing the changes. Roxx has already confirmed that there will be a notification about the patch notes, which would only give western players a few hours to prepare. That’s bad.”
SockMan0 agrees: “That’s great, but what about the people who are currently taking a break from the game or not watching updates? They should just import everything.”

Lost Ark has at least established an in-game notification with the patch on November 9. From November 14, each of your characters will even receive mail with a reminder and some gifts. Currently, it looks like the update will hit inactive players hard.

What else is planned for the end of the year, the developers reveal in a new roadmap until December.

Guild Wars 2 Infusing Rings – Here’s how to do it and these are the materials you need

Alexander Leitsch 14. November 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

Condition resistance plays an important role in the fractals of Guild Wars 2. To achieve maximum resistance, you should infuse your rings. We will explain how to do this in this guide.

How do you infuse a ring? To infuse an Ascended Ring, you need to place it in the Mystic Forge along with the following items:

5 vials of condensed mist essence
3 batches of coalesced mist essence
1 shard of crystallized mist essence

It is important that the original ring only has one slot for an infusion. Infusing it then adds the second slot.

Where do you get mist essence? Basically, you obtain the mist essences in the fractals. The vials of condensed mist essence can be bought for 32 silver and 30 fractal relics from the vendor in the fractals. Additionally, they can be dropped by enemies on difficulty levels 1 to 20.

Batches of coalesced mist essence can be purchased for 96 silver and 100 fractal relics or can be dropped by enemies in fractal levels 21 to 50.

The shard of crystallized mist essence costs 2.88 gold and 300 fractal relics or can be dropped by enemies in difficulty levels 51 to 100.

Additionally, the various essences can be upgraded or downgraded.

Upgrading and downgrading mist essences

How can I down- or upgrade essences? If you have more of one of the essences than you actually need, but lack something in the other essence, you can choose to upgrade or downgrade them.

To upgrade an essence, you need:

5x lower essences
1x pile of crystalline dust
1x ectoplasm ball
1x mystic coin

To downgrade, you need:

1x higher essence
1x pile of crystalline dust
1x mystic coin
1x Master Reclamation Kit (full with 25 uses)

When you downgrade an essence, however, you can only get the lower essence back three times.

Why do you infuse rings? Infusing creates an additional slot for a torment infusion. You can use this slot to gain more condition resistance. This is essential for fractals at the highest levels.

New World: How to Craft Bags

Alexander Leitsch 14. November 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In New World, inventory weight plays a big role. Only those with large bags can take home a lot of loot. In this guide, we reveal how to craft bags and where to get a few bags for free.

At the largest e-sports event in the world, professionals are asked: “Sex or Dota 2?” – Almost everyone agrees

Benedict Grothaus 14. November 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

At “The International” in Dota 2, Russian adult film actress Eva Elfie was present and spoke with the professionals. With a rather cheeky question, she elicited some embarrassed, some funny answers and awkward moments.

What kind of event is this?

The International is the esports tournament with the largest prize pools worldwide (via esportsearnings.com). The prize pool is well funded, extending to up to 33 million US dollars and more.
The prize money partially comes from money that the community contributes via specific in-game bundles. Teams from all over the world then compete for the money and the world championship.
In 2022, “T11” took place, the 11th tournament of the league. Between matches, the adult film actress Eva Elfie chatted with the players.

von Schuhmann

What was the question? Eva Elfie walked around with a microphone and camera and simply asked players from various teams what they would prefer: Dota 2 or sex? Apparently, the question was meant more as a joke, but it led to some awkward moments.

One pro responded with, “What the hell? Sure, I just had the other one.” Another seemed extremely embarrassed and responded rather reluctantly. However, the pros sometimes gave quite confident answers like, “I usually have no problems with sex, so Dota 2,” or simply: “Both.”

Some take it with humor, sitting on the sofa with their teammate and joking: “Depends on who it is. With him here? Sex. Otherwise, definitely Dota 2.”

The channel Dota 2 Rampage Monster has compiled some of the answers:

“Everyone chooses Dota 2, and I don’t understand why”

The esports journalist Jake Lucky spoke in a short interview with the interviewer herself (via Twitter). There, the actress, who earns money through sex, explains that almost all respondents answered with Dota 2.

However, she cannot understand why: “You would really play Dota 2 and not choose sex?” Some users on Twitter agree, jokingly writing: “Sex is temporary, gaming is eternal.”

The interview with Eva Elfie does remind somewhat of the poorly chosen provocation by RTL some years ago when gamers were asked something similar at Gamescom, but it seems to have been more fun for everyone involved. At least hardly any of the pros reacted negatively or too shyly.

However, the esports players have enough reason to prefer their game. At T11, there was a prize pool of nearly 19 million euros, which the team Tundra secured. The champions were also interviewed after the games and had some cheeky answers:
