The 21-year-old streamer Imani has been continuously streaming on Twitch under the name “iimany_” since Monday, November 7. With this, she has set a new record, but she is not done yet. She would like to hold out for a whole week.
What kind of stream is this? Imani intends to set a new record for the longest uninterrupted stream. For this, she has been on air continuously since Monday, November 7 at 00:30 without sleep.
This record was previously held by an American veteran who streamed for 103 hours straight under the name “Cryptowrench”. He aimed to raise awareness about sleep disorders, which he suffers from due to PTSD:
We at MeinMMO are an editorial team specialized in gaming and do not have the medical expertise to assess the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation from a medical standpoint.
However, the “Techniker” health insurance company explicitly warns against the consequences, which become more extreme depending on the duration of sleep deprivation and can even lead to hallucinations (via Die Techniker).
If you are suffering from health problems and insomnia, please consult your trusted doctor. Extensive health tips can be found at the Federal Ministry of Health (via bundesgesundheitsministerium.de) or by having a conversation with your personal physician.
Why do this? However, there are no known illnesses affecting Imani, she only wanted to break the record. She succeeded today, on November 11, 2022. But that is not enough for the 21-year-old.
How long is the stream supposed to go? Currently, she is still live, and the stream has been running for over 105 hours (as of 11:30). When asked how long she wants to keep streaming, Imani replied that her goal is a whole week. Then she would be online until Sunday night.
However, she also admitted that this plan would likely get her into trouble with her viewers and her own mother. Because depriving one’s body of sleep for so long is a heavy physical burden.
Therefore, she initially aims to stream just until this evening and wants to “chill” with her viewers. With that, Imani has already lasted longer than her cam. She has already turned it off since it has now been running for a consecutive four and a half days.
In Imani’s chat, comments are already appearing that it should be enough now. The record has been broken, and the streamer should go to sleep. However, she claims not to be tired yet.
What does she do all the time? In her continuous stream, Imani mostly plays GTA V Online. In between, she chats with her viewers or ventures into the party game Pummel-Party and the shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.

Prime Gaming, the secret behind Twitch’s success
How does this stream affect Imani’s channel? The streamer has gained 204 new followers through her continuous stream so far. On average, 133 people watched her, with a peak of 298. Additionally, there were 6 subs, that is, paid subscriptions.
Whether for a good cause, attention, or just for fun, Twitch streamers have set all sorts of records. The record for the most concurrent viewers is currently held by the Spaniard Ibai Llanos Garatea. Previously, it was held by the Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, who also holds the title for the most followers.
Transmog should be much better in WoW: Dragonflight. But Blizzard forgot something – or did they?
In less than a week, the Dracthyr will debut as a new race in World of Warcraft, and two weeks later, the latest expansion, Dragonflight, will finally launch. With the new talent system, less “borrowed power” and the implementation of many community requests, Blizzard seems to be on the right track.
However, a promised feature is missing and collectors are now raising the alarm: The transmog changes for white and gray items are still not here – neither in the live game nor in the beta.
Which feature is missing? The transmog system of WoW has been expanded increasingly over the past years. Restrictions have been removed step by step, artifact weapons have been added, and numerous items can now be used as transmog templates that previously could not.
However, one category of items is still excluded. We’re talking about “non-magical” items – that is, white and gray items that have no stats but are mostly left as “junk” by enemies.
In an interview, Game Director Ion Hazzikostas promised that the feature would be available “before or by Dragonflight.”
So far, there is no sign of these transmog changes. Neither in the live version of patch 10.0 nor in the beta for Dragonflight is the feature available.
Stylish transmog is important to some players. And it doesn’t always have to be as “fancy” as in this picture.
Why do players even want this? Especially because white and gray items resemble ordinary clothing and in some cases even have looks that are not found on any other items, many players yearn for these transmog templates.
Especially roleplayers are always pleased when they have more options available, but all others also benefit from more choices in customizing their characters.
One hope of the fans is that Hazzikostas’ words were taken too literally and that the feature will instead be received “during” Dragonflight and not just “by” Dragonflight. After all, the new WoW expansion is supposed to receive many smaller patches, in which such a feature could easily fit.
In the WoW Subreddit, many players report that they have hoarded countless white and gray items since the announcement, in order to soon feed them into the transmog system. For some, even inventory space is becoming rare, forcing them to store the items on bank alts.
We can only hope that Blizzard does not quietly let this feature fall by the wayside – because at least the transmog fans will keep pointing it out. They now fear that this promise will become the “new dance studio”, that is, a promised feature that simply fades into oblivion.
Have you also hoarded a lot of white and gray stuff to later use for transmog collections? Or is this “problem” completely unimportant to you?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launched with great success. However, the release state is not well received by many players. The shooter is partly referred to as “Beta” because many standard features are missing that have always been included in recent years.
What a release: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 shatters the old player record for the launch of a CoD premium title. 40% more players were attracted at launch than ever before.
What is the problem? The success had its consequences: Especially during the first weekend after release, the servers were shaky and crashes were the order of the day. Things are functioning better now, and the focus is shifting to the content at release.
There are many experienced players who are dissatisfied with the state of CoD MW2 in the current pre-season. Features that should be part of every CoD title’s standard repertoire are missing, whether at release or at the end of the life cycle.

CoD MW2 at launch – players call it “Beta”
Looking at the big battle royale Warzone 2.0, which comes as a free-to-play expansion for CoD MW2, some even go so far as to label Modern Warfare 2 after release as a beta for Warzone:

“The game I bought for $70 turns out to be a beta for a free-to-play BR” – titled Reddit user “r4bb1th0l3z”, hitting a nerve. After just 11 hours, the post has around 2,800 upvotes and over 450 comments (as of 11.11.22 – 11:15 AM).
Just a few days earlier, “thecloudbruh” discussed features that are missing in CoD MW2 after release – although they are usually included right from the start (via reddit.com):
Hardcore mode
Barracks
Challenges
Emblems
Leaderboards
Customizable reticle
The disappointment is palpable in the thread creator thecloudbruh. He titles: “I love the gameplay. But the state of the game is unacceptable.” He even says he is addicted to CoD – he needs it as an “escape” in his life.
This thread also gathered more than 400 comments – and many agree that the current state in pre-season deserves their criticism.
Will all of this still come to the game? Yes, with the launch of Season 1, things should ease up a bit. Hardcore mode will be added to the game, statistics will soon be viewable, and countless unlockable items beyond weapon skins are also in planning through the new prestige system.
What do you think about this topic? Season 1 starts on November 16 and the pre-season will last approximately 3 weeks. Is it acceptable for familiar core features to be missing at launch, in favor of focusing on performance? Leave a comment on the topic.
In Pokémon GO, the post of a reddit user is currently causing nostalgic feelings in the community, which is why they are now mourning a 4-year-old April Fools’ prank. We at MeinMMO show you what prank this is about.
Pokémon GO hosts a fun April Fools’ prank every year to lead its trainers astray and thus send them into April. This year, you were able to find Professor Willow with Ditto eyes and the shape-shifting Pokémon played a central role that day.
Now, however, trainers are longing for an April Fools’ prank from 2018, where the appearance of the monsters in the Pokémon storage was changed. We have summarized how the prank looked and what the trainers wish for below.
That was the April Fools’ prank of 2018
Why is the community talking about an old April Fools’ prank? Some players are currently reminiscing nostalgically in Pokémon GO. The trigger for this was the user Tomantini with his reddit post. He showed a picture of a Pokémon storage that was completely pixelated in the old Nintendo style.
Additionally, he wrote (via reddit.com): “How do you get your Pokemon storage to look like this? I found this here and want to get the nostalgic pixels too.”

What is the deal with the appearance? While such graphics cannot usually be found in Pokémon GO, this view is not unusual for trainers who have been active in the game for more than 4 years. This is due to an April Fools’ prank from 2018. For a few days, Niantic had switched the appearance back to the nostalgic style to prank the trainers.
What trainers wish from Niantic
It is certain for some trainers that this was one of the best pranks from Niantic, which is why they are still mourning it over 4 years later. Players who missed it are frustrated that they couldn’t experience it, and that this appearance no longer exists in the game.
This is primarily because the pixelated Pokémon remind trainers of the beginnings of the main Pokémon games for the Nintendo Game Boy. Therefore, it is not surprising that many want this graphic back for nostalgic reasons. You can read the following in the comments (via reddit.com)
DouchNukem: “The worst April Fools’ prank was taking that away from us!”
TheRealMrRogers: “I’m so angry that I missed that.”
DAZW_Doc: “I don’t know why this feature is not adjustable.”
Amonster101: “It would be cool if it was adjustable. But then Niantic would have to create some of the sprites, and do we really want that after what they did with Blanche?”
LorenzoLBaldo: “The best update of all time, and it was a prank.”
Could the graphics come back someday? Although trainers wish for a feature that allows them to adjust the game’s appearance to get a nostalgic gameplay graphic, some players believe that this is not feasible.
The reason for this could be the newer game generations, such as Hisui. These games no longer have a pixelated appearance in the main games, which means that Niantic would have to develop this separately for Pokémon GO. Whether Niantic will do this for the sake of the players remains to be seen.
What is your opinion on the nostalgic appearance from the April Fools’ prank of 2018? Do you wish for the graphics to come back? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.
In the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, players are currently debating a bug in the “Search and Destroy” mode. Enemies can see when a bomb is being defused. This makes it incredibly difficult for the affected team to win. Some users believe this is intentional.
Which mode are we talking about? The “Search and Destroy” mode is a classic PvP mode, as you already know from Counter-Strike: One team must plant and protect a bomb, while the other must defuse it.
This mode is quite popular and is considered one of the greater challenges of the game by many fans. However, a mistake is making the mode disproportionately harder – almost unplayable.
What kind of bug is this? When someone tries to defuse the bomb, the enemy may see a bomb icon on the minimap. This means: They know that the bomb is being defused. This bug also existed in Modern Warfare (2019).
For a defending team, meaning those who need to defuse, it becomes almost impossible to win. Because the attackers have to pay less attention to the bomb site after planting. They can see if someone is tampering with it.
Especially when you, as the last defender, try to turn the round with a hidden defuse, it becomes nearly impossible. Former CoD pro Tommey shows in a short clip what the bug looks like:

This is how players react: Some users on Twitter are angry that Tommey shared this bug instead of quietly reporting it to the developers. Now everyone knows it’s a problem, and only because of that, it becomes a “game-breaking bug”.
Here you can find the most important changes to Modern Warfare 2 briefly explained:
Start video
CoD Modern Warfare 2: Important changes explained quickly – With gameplay
However, most fans agree with Tommey and hope that the developers will react as quickly as possible and fix the problem.
Is it a bug or a feature? In fact, despite the opinions of some users, this problem is likely a bug. Because the icon appears only under certain circumstances and not when someone is defusing a bomb from start to finish.
Since the bug has now been shared on many social channels, the developers should have become aware by now. However, we cannot currently say when a bug fix will come.
However, the first season of Modern Warfare 2 is about to start. The developers are bringing a lot of new content. This would be a good time to deliver important bug fixes:
Fishing in World of Warcraft is now much more enjoyable than before. Because a small option makes the side job the perfect relaxation.
Fishing in World of Warcraft is pure relaxation – at least for some players. While it can be quite time-consuming, it can also be meditative and consume an hour or two. Often, it’s also the perfect way to get a bit of something “on the side” done and collect some resources for the guild.
For the last 18 years, Blizzard has hardly changed anything about the profession of fishing. But Patch 10.0 has changed that. From now on, fishing is even more relaxing, and you just need to make a small adjustment.
What is the problem with fishing? To fish, one primarily needs one thing: patience. Because usually, you wait 10 – 15 seconds for a fish to bite, then click on the bobber to reel in the catch. Therefore, fishing is perfect for doing something else at the same time, like binge-watching a series.
But as Murphy’s law would have it, you obviously look away at the moment the bobber starts to twitch. Panicking, you try to aim the mouse back at the bobber and click – but too late. The short time frame of 2-3 seconds is already over, and the fish escapes.
It was mentioned by the YouTuber “Kraken Latte” in one of her latest videos:

How can you avoid this? A new feature in Patch 10.0 is the “Interact” key. You can assign this in the settings and must check it off beforehand. You can find the setting under Options → Controls → “Enable interaction key.” One entry below, you can then set a key for “Interact with target” where this function should be placed.
This key ensures that you interact with people and objects when they are directly in front of your character.
Here you will find the corresponding option.
And – you might have guessed it – this also works with the bobber when fishing!
From now on, you just need to listen for the distinctive sound of splashing water when a fish bites and press the previously assigned key. The catch will go directly into your inventory.
The days of hastily clicking to catch a fish at the last moment are over.
Is that intended? Pretty sure, yes. Blizzard has been trying to eliminate more and more barriers in recent years to make World of Warcraft accessible to all sorts of player groups. Since there are players who cannot or can only hardly use a mouse – for example, due to physical disabilities – such an interaction function is the perfect solution.
While some are concerned that fishing bots could be fueled by this – they have lost importance in recent years anyway. This is mainly because fish typically lose value quite quickly, and a connected market through the cross-region auction house will likely keep the prices of fish relatively low in the long term.
What do you think of this change? Perfect for all fishing enthusiasts and those who want to become one? Or yet again a “too strong simplification”?

In action-packed games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, high frame rates are especially important for smooth gameplay. If you want to check your frame rate, there are various methods to display your FPS.
Basically, you can display the FPS in several ways. However, not every method is suitable for every player. For example, there are differences between console and PC or between Battle.net and Steam.
The easiest way is to display the FPS directly through the game.
Open the menu in the game
Go to “Settings” then “Interface”
There you will find the tab “Telemetry”
Activate the “FPS counter”
Steam
If you want to display the FPS not just in Call of Duty, but in all your Steam games, the Steam overlay is recommended.
Start Steam
At the top left, you will find “Steam” and “Settings”
Then select “In-Game”
Now you can choose where you want the FPS counter to be displayed and what color it will be
Windows
You can also display the FPS, as well as a few other useful information about your CPU, GPU, or RAM usage through Windows. This feature is available from Windows 10 and is called the Windows Game Bar.
Press the “Windows key” and “G” on your keyboard at the same time
Then a handful of tiles will pop up, for example for sound settings
Navigate to the “Performance” tile and click on the pin to fix the tile
If you want to make further adjustments, you need to click the button left of the pin.
A lot has changed in the gameplay of Modern Warfare 2. You can find all the info in the video:
Start video
CoD Modern Warfare 2: Important changes explained quickly – With gameplay
Are there other ways to display the FPS?
In addition to the methods listed above, there are many other ways you can display the frame rate. For example, through your graphics card or software. Just try out several options until you find a solution you like.
Console players should also check their hardware. Many modern TVs and monitors offer the ability to display the FPS through the device. However, this varies from model to model. So it’s best to check the user manual.
The release of Battlefield 2042 was marred by crises and it has now been almost a year. The developers have now presented plans for the future and announced testing opportunities.
Battlefield 2042 was released on November 19, 2021, but it had a rough start: It was met with criticism – for errors, bugs, and new features that didn’t work. This launch is now nearly a year old.
The developers have now reached out with a development update: Season 2, which received cautiously positive feedback, is coming to an end and Season 3 is set to bring further changes.
The exact start date is still unknown, but Season 3 is expected to be fully presented in November. It is already clear that Battlefield 2042 wants to try once again to attract players for the occasion.
So Battlefield 2042 will come to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with the start of Season 3 and will also be available for EA Play members. Players with the appropriate memberships will be able to jump into the game.
Additionally, there will be free periods for Battlefield 2042 for all players who want to check it out:
On Xbox consoles from December 1 to December 4, 2022
On Steam from December 1 to December 5
And on PlayStation from December 16 to December 23
Furthermore, the developers have already hinted at the upcoming content.
What will Battlefield 2042 bring in the upcoming season?
What’s coming: As early as summer 2022, the developers announced that the game would return to the old, more popular class system. This will be implemented in Season 3.
The specialists will be categorized into the classes “Assault”, “Support”, “Engineer”, and “Recon”. Each class will receive class-specific equipment and gadgets, as well as certain weapon proficiencies. This way, each class will have its gameplay advantages. Recons, for example, will be able to steady their aim better with sniper rifles than other classes.

Furthermore, Season 3 will bring more vault weapons back, such as the XM8 from Bad Company 2 and the A91 from Battlefield 3. More will come during Season 3 and Season 4 – as it has also been announced that more content for Battlefield 2042 is in the works, with pre-production for 2023 already started.
Work is also being done on the maps. Enhanced versions of the launch maps Kaleidoscope, Renewal, and Orbital are expected, as well as reworks of “Manifest” and “Breakaway”.
For example, in Manifest, flags are expected to be brought closer together to allow quicker access to battle. Moreover, there will be better cover, and lighting and visibility will also be improved. Breakaway has been extensively adjusted and some POIs on the map have changed.
In Season 3, Battlefield 2042 will also introduce a new specialist, a new battle pass, and a smaller, tight map for infantry, featuring a new location.
More detailed information about Season 3 is expected to arrive in November.
What do you think of the new changes? Are the testing phases something for you? Will you jump back into Battlefield 2042? Let us know in the comments! And you can find strong shooter alternatives here.

29-year-old Abe Chung and 31-year-old Wendy Luo got married on November 8. This wouldn’t be unusual if the two weren’t active on “BaboAbe” and “Natsumiii” on Twitch and had live-streamed the wedding to thousands of viewers.
Who are the two? Natsumiii and Abe both belong to the environment of the influencer group OfflineTV, which also includes well-known content creators like Pokimane, LilyPichu, and DisguisedToast.
Natsumiii originally gained fame with her content on LoL, but now she mostly streams Valorant, Lost Ark, and Minecraft for her nearly 525,000 followers. Her husband Abe has nearly 284,000 followers, and he is also primarily active in Valorant and Minecraft.
This clip also shows that Twitch doesn’t always have to be about scandals and drama:

Twitch: One of the most popular clips shows a super sweet scare moment
Natsumiii and Abe get married, all fans are invited
What kind of wedding was it? After Natsumiii and Abe kept the exact date of their wedding a secret at first, the bride-to-be surprised her followers on November 7 with an announcement on Twitter: The wedding would take place the next day, and everyone was invited to watch live on Twitch (via Twitter).
How did the stream go? The wedding itself took place in a festive hall with the couple’s close family and friends. However, thousands of viewers followed the ceremony virtually through Natsumiii’s Twitch account.
Twitch itself – in the form of the official Twitter account of the platform – also couldn’t help but congratulate Natsumiii and Abe: “Thank you for sharing this special moment with us,” it says.
What a lovely couple 💜@Natsumiii, thank you for sharing such a special moment with us and thousands of our closest friends. pic.twitter.com/nASm3hPuav
For the subsequent wedding celebration, however, the cameras were turned off.
This is how the wedding was received: More than 60,000 people watched as Natsumiii and Abe exchanged their vows. While the two exchanged their wedding vows at the altar, the chat on Twitch was flooded with heartwarming emotes and good wishes for the newlyweds.
For Natsumiii and Abe, who usually have an average of 2,250 and 650 viewers, respectively, this was likely not just a very special day, but also a huge success (via sullygnome).
A clip of the wedding on the LivestreamFail subreddit received more than 5,300 upvotes, and the clip itself has over 241,600 views (as of 11/10/2022). In the comments, in addition to numerous congratulations, there are discussions about whether weddings on Twitch could become a new trend.
“Wedding meta on Twitch is a meta that I could support,” writes a Reddit user (via reddit).
In another thread it says, “60,000 viewers for streamers who usually reach around 1,500 viewers. Yup, all streamers will now live stream their weddings.” (via reddit)
Other users point out, however, that not all streamers have such a illustrious circle of friends with millions of followers. Therefore, a wedding alone is not a guaranteed success without the right guest list.
Two streamers invite to the wedding and the prominence of Twitch and YouTube shows up
Who was present? When two popular streamers get married, the inner circle of friends includes well-known personalities with millions of followers. Thus, the guest list of the couple reads like a who’s who of the big names of YouTube and Twitch.
The role of the cameraman was taken by none other than Jeremy “DisguisedToast” Wang, another popular member of OfflineTV.
Among the guests were also other prominent personalities from Twitch and YouTube. The YouTubers Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter and Leslie “Fuslie” Fu were present as bridesmaids. Guests included Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Ludwig Ahgren.

When normal people watch a series on Netflix, like the League of Legends series Arcane , it usually sounds pretty lame: chips, couch, crumbs. But with actor Henry Cavill (The Witcher, Superman), it somehow sounds like a fantastic experience, says MeinMMO author Schuhmann.
This is how Henry Cavill was 10 years ago: Henry Cavill is on a roll. Back then, it was hard for people like me to even remember his face. Moreover, he proved to have a pretty bad choice of roles.
Cavill is a 1.85 m tall British actor. For years, he seemed colorless, with his rugged chin and perfect posture. As if someone had ordered a “male lead for action movies” from a catalog. He resembled other actors like Matt Bomer (White Collar) or the, in my opinion, much cooler Timothy Olyphant (Justified), making it hard for Cavill at the beginning of his acting career to stand out from the crowd.
He had a first breakthrough in 2007 with a role in the series: “The Tudors”. However, Cavill then repeatedly faced bad luck, losing roles in major productions to Robert “Sparkles in the Dark” Pattinson in his twenties: both in Twilight and in Harry Potter, Pattinson outshone him.
Ultimately, Cavill was cast as an “action hero” when he was about 30, but he remained somewhat colorless and unlucky:
In 2012, he got the leading role in the thriller “The Cold Light of Day” – the film has a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and even though Bruce Willis is in it and I have seen it multiple times, I can’t remember Cavill.
Cavill played the mythical hero Theseus in “Immortals” (2012), which was like an assembly line – the real heroes in the film were the monsters and their special effects.
Not even in Superman: Man of Steel (2013) did Cavill stand out much, with his flawless chin. Even though it was certainly an important career step for him.
Since the nerds love Cavill, his career is also on the rise
This is how it’s been for him since then: But that changed gradually over the past few years, especially in the last 5 years he has been on a roll.
For Cavill has proven in interviews to be someone who is unashamedly into science fiction and fantasy, who loves painting miniatures in his free time, tinkering on his PC, and can discuss the great fantasy epics for hours. Fantasy and science fiction fans worldwide immediately embraced him.
Somehow it has become cool to like Cavill.
His career has been on the rise. He played Superman more frequently (and better), landed the lead role in the Netflix series „The Witcher“ (2019 – 81 % Rotten Tomatoes), and got to beat up Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible (2018 – 97 % Rotten Tomatoes).
As a seemingly flawless figure with something dark, Cavill works significantly better than as a shining hero. Just like that role, Anthony Starr is rising to the top tier as Homelander (The Boys).

Arcane: Season 2 in the teaser
BBC Reporter recommends Arcane on Netflix – Cavill falls in love immediately
This is what he says about Arcane now: In an interview with the BBC regarding his new film “Enola Holmes 2”, Cavill was asked by interviewer Ali Plumb if he had seen Arcane yet. Because Plumb had recommended the series to him, thinking he would surely like it.
Plumb asks: “Did you enjoy Arcane as much as I told you you would.”
Yes, I really enjoyed it. I’m so glad you recommended it to me. When you told me about Arcane, I got home and told Natalie: A guy from work told me that I have to watch Arcane. And she said: Oh, I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. So we started with Arcane and couldn’t stop. It got really late, and Natalia said: We should go to bed now. And I said: No, no, no, we should definitely keep watching. And she said: Alright, you’re right. It was fantastic.”
Normally, one would assume that a Hollywood star like Cavill spends time in the gym or at events, networking, or preparing for new roles.
But apparently, he has the luck to just sit in front of the television for 6 hours, and he has a woman by his side who shares his hobby and watches with him.
In Guild Wars 2, a new collection has been released, through which you can earn a special item. The reward is called “Lion’s Pride” and is a pass that teleports you to old Lion’s Arch from anywhere. The item is highly popular. We will reveal how you can obtain it.

Netflix has released a 2-minute trailer for the new series Dragon Age: Absolution. In the series, you will hear many well-known actors and voices that you already know from other video games, movies, and series. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus is over the moon.
What game is it about? The Dragon Age series is a popular RPG series by BioWare (Anthem) and is considered their flagship in terms of game franchises alongside Mass Effect. The first installment, Origins, was released in November 2009.
In the meantime, however, Netflix is planning a series based on the game that will even premiere on December 9, 2022.
Watch the full first trailer here:

The first trailer for Dragon Age: Absolution
What kind of series is this? Dragon Age: Absolution follows the story of the young elf Miriam, who grew up as a slave in the mage state of Tevinter. Together with a group of mismatched adventurers, she is tasked with stealing a valuable artifact.
I love Dragon Age. Origins is still among my top 3 of the best games of all time, and I have also happily devoted many dozens of hours to Inquisition. The fantasy world is well-crafted, a perfect mix of dark, “gritty” world and bright fantasy.
Accordingly, I was already looking forward to Absolution when the first teaser was released in June. I am now even more excited after seeing the first real trailer.
With Dragon Age, BioWare has managed to create a world where magic and dragons are something almost everyday yet still special. Particularly, Tevinter has always been that fantastic place that I would love to explore in more detail. A land full of mages with quite archaic structures sounds… wild.
Unlike Arcane, Dragon Age: Absolution will only have 6 episodes.
In the comments on YouTube, some users have already criticized that the style of Absolution resembles those that already exist on Netflix a bit too closely. Arcane particularly excelled with its strong animations. Nevertheless, I am already very much looking forward to the new series.
Although I have probably played more hours of LoL than Dragon Age, I would argue that no other game has shaped me as much as Dragon Age: Origins – except perhaps Gothic. Therefore, Absolution is even more important to me than Arcane. It’s like I’m about to see a piece of my childhood and youth that I haven’t known yet.
However, whether Dragon Age: Absolution will start as strongly as Arcane seems unlikely to me, given the accomplishments of the LoL series:
She only learned afterward that other participants had also been injured, Chechik stated.
How was I supposed to know that I would be the one to break my back after watching a group of people do the same thing? Not knowing that two people had been injured the day before? So don’t blame me, because I’m the victim here. Right? I was at an event, and the last thing I would think is: “Hey, this pit is not set up properly.” No! I said: “Hey, I’m ready to look for my friend and throw her off this platform.” That’s all I thought. I didn’t think beyond that.
Twitch colleague Asmongold advises to sue
What does Asmongold say? Chechik receives support not only from her fans but also from some other influencers. The well-known MMORPG streamer Asmongold had already reacted to the revelation of her pregnancy a few days ago.
His first reaction was a shocked exclamation: “That’s just damn awful.” The streamer believes it is unfair to hold Chechik responsible for the situation:
I don’t think it’s fair to criticize someone for something they did or didn’t do… she wouldn’t have been injured if it hadn’t been grossly negligent… of course, people can be particularly careful, but is it really her fault that she wasn’t particularly careful? It’s their fault [the organizers] because they didn’t follow the safety protocol.
Asmongold also has a suspicion as to why people are trying to blame Chechik for her accident: These people probably dislike her because of her past as an adult film actress, according to the streamer.
For Asmongold, the case is evidently clear: “As I said, I think she should sue Twitch.” This advice can also be found in numerous comments on the topic.
It remains unclear whether the responsibility lies more with Twitch, the organizer of the convention, or with Lenovo, the organizer of the event. Both parties have not yet commented on the situation.
What legal steps Adriana Chechik will take or has already taken is not yet known.
She only learned afterward that other participants had also been injured, Chechik stated.

The streamer Adriana Chechik (30) broke her back in two places at TwitchCon in San Diego on 10/09 when she jumped from a PR attraction of Lenovo Legion into a foam pit. Since the end of October, she has been back on Twitch, and now she gave her viewers an update on her health condition.
What kind of accident happened at TwitchCon?
Lenovo Legion hosted an event at TwitchCon where Twitch streamers were supposed to push each other into a foam pit.
It went horribly wrong when Adriana Chechik won her match and joyfully jumped into the foam-filled pit: She broke her back in two places.
In the hospital, Adriana Chechik additionally learned that she had been pregnant at the time of the accident. In a comeback stream on October 29 she explained that she could not keep the child due to the surgeries following the accident.
Since her return to Twitch, Chechik has been hosting more frequent, typically shorter streams. Now she brought her viewers up to date, defended herself against accusations – and showed her physical therapy in the stream.
“I’m already tired from this”
What is the current status? In a stream on November 7, Chechik updated her viewers on her current condition. She showed the harsh reality after a serious injury: Chechik appeared in her orthopedic corset and jogging pants, took a short break to do some physical therapy.
While Chechik was leaning against the wall with one hand, she turned to her viewers and explained: “I’m tired from this. It’s just that, I’m already tired from this.”
How is Chechik doing? After about 15 minutes in the stream, Chechik revealed that she had a numbness in her right leg. Apparently, she will still have to undergo further surgeries, an appointment with her neurosurgeon in LA is supposed to take place later this week.
How is Chechik’s streaming comeback being received? Many viewers are impressed by Chechik’s bravery and wish her a speedy recovery. Journalist Jake Lucky also shared clips from her stream and wrote that one must admire the “grind.”

But not all reactions are so positive: On Twitter, there are also derogatory comments that do not want to recognize it as an achievement to “sit in your chair,” accusing Chechik of exploiting her accident for attention.
Some viewers of the streamer also seem to think that she bears at least some responsibility for her accident. When asked why she did not notice that the pit was not sufficiently secured, Chechik responded with an analogy:
Let me be honest with you: when you get into a car, you don’t think that something in the car could be broken. When you get on a plane, you don’t think that something could be broken.
People do something every day. They go to trampoline parks, they go to climbing parks. And you’re at an event where you’re watching other people. I stood in line for 40 minutes and watched other people. I filmed them, and everyone came out fine.

In our class guide to Warhammer: Vermintide 2, we provide tips and tricks on how to play Bardin Goreksson, Kerillian, Victor Saltzbrand, Markus Kruber, and Sienna Fuegonasus.
Update from November 10, 2022: We have added all available premium classes of the characters with brief tips. After 2 strong promotions, where Vermintide 2 was available at a lower price or even for free, the game has become a top trend on Steam.
Vermintide is a brutally difficult game, in which you can invest hundreds of hours at increasing difficulty. Whether you are clearing beginner levels at the lowest difficulty or playing as a champion: you must be able to play your class correctly and learn.
Over 100,000 players are now playing the action game, more than ever before. Here you will find information about all playable characters and their specializations with brief tips on how to play them correctly.
Bardin is the dwarf of the group. He drinks and stinks and is always at odds with the elf Kerillian about who kills more rats and northerners (quote: “Whatever the elf kills, I kill it more!”).
Level 1 – Ranger Veteran
Specializing in ranged combat and deception, Bardin uses his skills as a ranger to support his group.
When you use your ability “Retreat”, you disappear into a smoke bomb. You will generally not be attacked by enemies again, and can safely revive or heal allies.
Elite enemies drop ammunition upon death. The amount depends on the selected weapon. Use the ammunition to be even more effective with your increased ammunition capacity and faster reload rate.
The Ranger Veteran is a group supporter and plays best as fire protection from a distance. A focus on improved healing and revival is recommended.
Level 7 – Ironbreaker
With heavy armor and shield, Bardin as an Ironbreaker is trained to withstand massive hordes of enemies in deep cave systems.
You can completely ignore attacks with your passive ability. With the right timing, you can block even strong attacks from bosses for the group.
Use your ability “Impenetrable” when you are surrounded and your team needs help. For the next seconds, all human-sized units will focus on you, and your group can deal with them in peace.
Only the Ironbreaker can use flamethrowers. With them, you can hold off or kill many enemies. But beware, you will die immediately if you overheat!
Make sure nothing happens to your group and always stand at the front. But don’t run too far ahead and think about attacks from behind.
Level 12 – Slayer
With two axes, the dwarf becomes a berserker and carves a path through the enemies. He has sworn to fall only in battle with an overwhelmingly powerful foe.
The only class that does not carry a ranged weapon. Plan your two melee weapons accordingly.
Your ability “Jump” is available very often. Use it frequently to reposition yourself in fights, to escape, to avoid attacks, and to increase your attack speed.
The Slayer is a melee fighter, but not very robust. Remember to have a tank in the group with whom you can coordinate.
Premium Class: Outcast Engineer
To play the Outcast Engineer, you need to purchase the “Outcast Engineer” DLC. Unlike Bardin’s other classes, the Engineer relies on the use of his self-built weapons, especially his deadly Gatling gun.
You should maximize the use of your steam-powered crank weapon. Use it whenever possible to quickly reset the one-minute cooldown. Elixirs do not help you here, as they do with other classes.
As an engineer, you have access to stronger bombs and the ability to carry more of them. Coordinate with the team so that you are more likely to be supplied with grenades to maximize your effectiveness.
Always choose the talent “Improved Power” at level 15. It increases the efficiency of all your firearms that you rely on as an engineer.
You enhance the ranged combat of all nearby allies. The engineer combines excellently with the Waystalker (Kerillian) and the Bounty Hunter (Saltzbrand).
Razer has introduced a new mouse for MMOs with the Razer Naga V2 Pro. MeinMMO has tested the gaming mouse for you and reveals for whom the mouse might be worthwhile.
With the Naga series, Razer has now launched several mice in its portfolio aimed at MMO players and those who want to remain flexible in their games. With the Naga V2 Pro, a new version of the Naga Pro has been introduced. Razer itself writes: “The MMO King is back.”
I already tested the Razer Naga Pro for MeinMMO in 2020 and explain in the test whether the improved relaunch is worth it. Because while the mouse still looks identical from the outside, a lot has changed inside.
Who tested it?
I have a penchant for gaming mice and privately own over 20 gaming mice. I have been testing hardware for our readers at MeinMMO since 2019. Mice are among my absolute favorites when it comes to peripherals for PC and console, alongside gaming headsets and keyboards, and I know my stuff accordingly.
The Naga V2 Pro was provided to me by Razer for testing.

Contents, Design, and Build
What does the package include? The Razer Naga V2 Pro comes with three interchangeable side plates, a USB receiver for wireless connection, a USB extension cable for the adapter, and a USB charging cable for the mouse.
This allows you to use the mouse both wirelessly and wired on your computer. Additionally, there is a comprehensive English manual and the mandatory Razer stickers.
How is the mouse built? The model features a black design:
On the top of the mouse are the main buttons, with the four-way mouse wheel in between. There are also two small switches on the top to adjust the DPI or mouse wheel.
On the left side, you can choose between three side parts: one attachment with 12 buttons, a module with 6 buttons, and a third with 2 buttons. These can be magnetically attached to the mouse.
The model features a rough surface with no rubberized sides. Additional grip tape is also not available.
When the mouse is connected to the computer, the Razer snake symbol lights up along with certain buttons on the mouse. For example, the 12-button module is fully illuminated.
Overall, the Razer Naga V2 Pro feels hefty and almost a bit bulky. This is especially noticeable compared to other mice.
Processing
The Razer Naga V2 Pro feels stable and high-quality. This is also due to the high weight of 134 grams. With this weight, the mouse is significantly heavier than competitor mice: Logitech, Roccat, and SteelSeries are now opting for mice that weigh less than 100 grams.
In the shake test, only the mouse wheel can be heard, and the mouse does not creak when pressed. What slightly disturbs me, however, is the fact that you can see fingerprints or slightly wet fingers directly on the surface of the mouse.
The mouse without the left side. Here you can attach modules.
For the interchangeable side modules, Razer uses magnets encased in plastic. Additionally, a small plastic peg ensures that the piece sits securely on the mouse. In the long run, this combination of plastic and magnets could become a weak point in the processing if the modules are changed regularly.
Software
As usual for Razer products, the Razer Naga V2 Pro relies on “Razer Synapse.” The software is very comprehensive, and many components can be installed additionally. For my personal taste, the software is cluttered and offers too many functions when I just want to configure my mouse.
Razer Synapse is quite cluttered but does what it should.
The software can also be used as a guest; you do not have to register for the Naga V2 Pro.
On the next page, you will find my assessment of the weight, ergonomics, and features of the mouse. In the final conclusion, I will also explain for whom the mouse is worthwhile and what (still) might speak against a purchase.

League of Legends was released in 2009 and has evolved tremendously since then. Currently, there are over 160 champions. But which champions were actually introduced first? We at MeinMMO will tell you.
Who were the first champions? Even during the testing phases of League of Legends, players had a choice between different champions. This initial roster includes these 17:
Alistar
Annie
Ashe
Fiddlesticks
Jax
Kayle
Master Yi
Morgana
Nunu
Ryze
Sion
Sivir
Soraka
Teemo
Tristana
Twisted Fate
Warwick
So, they started with a rough selection of about four champions per position, although the meta was quite different back then. The position of the jungler did not exist. The game was played in a 2/1/2 split and it was not uncommon to choose Smite with all five champions to kill both minions on the lane and the creatures in the jungle.
A spectacular video about League of Legends has now 138 million views – Shows how huge LoL is
LoL launched with 40 champions at release
Which champions were added before release? The first to be added in April 2009 were the two champions Zilean and Singed. In May, Evelynn, Tryndamere, and Twitch followed.
LoL launched with a total of 40 champions. The aforementioned 23 and the following 17:
First champion ever was not part of the first line-up
Who was the first champion ever designed? Surprisingly, the oldest champion in the universe is Singed. Although he appeared later than the first 17, the concept for him was already established earlier, as the developers revealed.
Right after Singed, work began on Twisted Fate and Annie.
Were you surprised by the champions from the first line-up? Which champion was missing at release but is now a real icon in the game? Feel free to write it in the comments.
By the way, there are not only special champions but also special skins in the game:
In Red Dead Redemption 2, you can ride a horse through the game. However, one user found that not “real” enough and created a setting for himself. But he can’t really play or ride with it anymore. MeinMMO explains what he has done.
In Red Dead Redemption 2, a horse is an important means of transportation that allows you to move quickly across the vast world map. However, that was apparently too boring for one user.
The Indian YouTuber Teenenggr has already carried out dozens of crazy creative projects and tests a lot with games. Now he has tried Red Dead Redemption 2.

YouTuber converts gaming PC, the result is quite crazy
What exactly does the YouTuber do? At the beginning of the short video, the YouTuber rides leisurely through the snowy landscape. But apparently, that is too dull for him. Because in the following minutes, he begins to modify his gaming setup.
He mounts a motor and corresponding metal rods to his desk. He links this with a self-written code: Whenever he makes a movement with the horse in Red Dead Redemption 2, the movement is also transmitted to his desk.
The whole action then runs a little out of control. Because in the end, the YouTuber has to glue the keyboard and monitor to the desk so that nothing flies towards him. This is probably more impressive for many than a YouTuber playing CS:GO with absurd 4,000 FPS.
You can watch the entire roughly 4-minute video directly on YouTube:

How does the community react? The viewers are excited and amused by the absurd setup. Some say they wouldn’t want to be his neighbors when he is riding through the snow-covered landscape again.
Another user humorously comments on YouTube: “The fact that his monitor is still alive is a true miracle.” Another adds: “For content like this, I pay my internet bill.” A third mocks that the YouTuber must be testing the durability of monitors for sure.
More creative projects: By the way, Teenenggr has developed other interesting projects. Once, he made a motorcycle feel more realistic. For that, he also used a motor and other technology. The result is also a bit strange. You should read it yourself what the YouTuber has done:
From former developers of the sci-fi MMORPG EVE Online and veterans from EA Games, the new studio Arctic Theory was founded. They are working on an MMO that forces players to work together towards a large goal.
What kind of game is this? The MMO that the new Icelandic studio is working on is currently titled Annex. Although the game is set to enter Early Access by the end of 2023, this is not the final name, as confirmed by the developers.
Annex takes place in a post-apocalyptic scenario, where the last civilization has long fallen, and nature has reclaimed large parts of the formerly modern world. The overarching goal for all players is to build a new civilization.
And everyone is involved, whether they want to be or not. All players cooperate in a large shared world that is gradually influenced and improved by the actions of large player groups as well as by each individual.
The MMO features the following:
Shared world that changes through all players
A common goal for all players
Resources and crafting play a major role
Logistics and transport of these resources are also important
From small huts to democratically run industrial cities, you should be able to build everything
Combat is not the focus
What is unclear? Regarding the actual gameplay of Annex, Arctic Theory is currently withholding information. It is not known whether the game will be played in first or third person, or whether you will need to pay a one-time, ongoing, or no fee at all.
Also, what role combat plays is still unclear. While it is stated that it will not be in the foreground, we do not yet know whether you can fight at all or if there is no PvP.
Details about the shared world and how many players actually contribute to it are also missing. A mega-server model like in Guild Wars 2 could be conceivable here, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Some of the developers previously worked on the space MMORPG EVE Online:

EVE Online: Uprising Expansion – Trailer
Annex impresses with developer veterans
What makes the project exciting? Even though we know little about Annex so far, the team at Arctic Theory working on the game is quite experienced. Mainly former developers from EVE Online are on board. The founder of the studio, Matthías Guðmundsson, for example, previously worked for over 15 years as a lead programmer and technical director for the MMORPG.
But there are also some veterans from EA Games, like Snorri Sturluson, who worked there for over 4 years as a senior software engineer. And this has already convinced not just fans. In a first funding round in March 2022, the MMO managed to secure 2 million dollars from Brunnur Ventures. But that should not be the end.
The team is currently looking for a publishing partner who will bring the game to market. Who that will be is still uncertain.
When will the game be released? This will still take a few years. While Arctic Theory aims to enter Early Access with Annex by the end of 2023, it should be a true Early Access experience. The developers want fans to be able to influence how Annex develops as early as possible.
A final release will therefore happen no earlier than 2024, and probably later. It is also still completely unknown on which platforms, besides PC, Annex will be released.
What do you think of Annex? How do you feel about the concept? Or do you think it is still too early to make a meaningful statement about the title? Do you like the idea of working on a large project with all other players? Please share your thoughts in the comments here at MeinMMO.
Still in May of this year, The Division 2 launched with Season 9 and a good story. This fueled hope and the small flame in the hearts of many fans. But now developer Ubisoft is once again falling into the familiar behavior pattern. Season 11 and the new content for Year 5 are now all coming in Spring 2023.
Things just won’t go smoothly with Tom Clancy’s – The Division 2. It seemed so promising for new and especially regular content in the cover shooter mid-year. After a long period without anything happening, Season 9 finally brought an engaging story into the game.
Back then, the developer announced that The Division 2 would be regularly supplied with fresh content as a live-service game. A roadmap for 2022 supported the ambitious plans.
The targets from Season 10 in The Division 2.
Season 10 was planned for August and Season 11 for December 2022. However, these dates could not be met.
The launch of Season 10 “The Price of Power” was pushed back by a month – thus it only came into the game on September 13.
Due to a problem with the voice system after one of the recent updates, both the hunt for “General Anderson” and the clothing event of the current Season 10 are now pushed to December. It was supposed to start next week.
Thus, Season 11 will not start on time either. It will, if everything goes according to plan this time, go live in Spring 2023.
This also includes the new PvE game mode “Descent” with rogue-lite elements. It was also supposed to start in December.
The updated roadmap from The Division 2 for Season 10, 11, and Year 5.
New roadmap generates frustration among players: The continuous flow of new content and updates continues to be sluggish in The Division 2. Player Bertram Hein on Twitter makes a direct comparison with the live service game Destiny 2.
Imagine you have a live-service game that is worse than the live service of Destiny 2. At least Bungie still does [weapon] reskins and recycles old content [from Destiny 1] to make “new” content… [Division 2] doesn’t even make “new” content. And yes, I know they added 2 new game modes. But I mean 2 game modes in 3 years, and Seasons 1 to 4 literally ran twice.

Meanwhile, the developer also has to deal with many old and new problems of the cover shooter.
The Dark Zone, the PvP area in Division 2, is plagued by an “invisible glitch”.
The set “Activated Directive” does not always drop hollow point ammunition correctly for team members.
Delta errors in activities or the open world still plague the game today.
Additionally, a “language switch bug” grants infinite SHD levels and materials.
How long the response times at support for the game can be has been shown by a recent game bug. A weapon was available for free in the game for several days after the weekly reset. Players acquired it thousands of times and resold it for credits. Or, they dismantled it to push their expertise and know-how levels with the materials.
At least Ubisoft continues to commit to developing content for Year 5 and for The Division 2. Agents can therefore expect updates into next year, even though they, following this announcement, now have a nasty aftertaste.
The current story still promises some excitement. Soon the main goal of the hunt for “General Anderson” will begin. Players will have to find the leader of the True Sons. He is trying to negotiate peace with the Black Tusk in order to then unite forces against The Division.
What can players expect in 2023? Year 5 will then include a complete season reset, where players will start again from Season 1. However, this is not meant to be a restart of the already known old seasons. With Year 5, the new PvE game mode “Descent” with rogue-lite elements will also go live.
Once these contents are launched, players can expect a livestream event with the developer team of The Division 2 and presumably a more detailed outlook on upcoming content.
What do you think of the sudden delay of the current Season 10 contents? Are you surprised or did you already expect Ubisoft would not be able to keep the dates? Feel free to let us know in the comments how you feel about this.
