Due to two actions, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has just become the top trend on Steam. Over 51,000 people are playing the game and rating it “very positive”. Where does the sudden hype come from?
What cooperative game is it about? In Warhammer: Vermintide 2, you slash through hordes of rats, cultists, and beastmen seeking to destroy your home with up to 4 players in a group. You can choose from 5 different heroes with special abilities and classes.
In various missions, you must complete tasks and can discover secrets to level up, find loot, and improve your heroes.
The gameplay loosely resembles Left 4 Dead, but with more swords than guns and in a dark fantasy setting.

The success behind Warhammer: Vermintide 2
How successful is Warhammer: Vermintide 2 currently on Steam? On the analysis website SteamCharts, the game is currently in first place among trending games.
In the category “24-hour change,” there is an increase in the player count of 735%. When the article was written, there were exactly 51,809 people in the game (via SteamCharts).
While in October 2022, the peak player count was just 6,460, it has skyrocketed in the last 30 days to 53,966 (as of November 5, 2022, via SteamCharts).
Warhammer is a massive universe that still has many fans. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus believes that Warhammer could have easily become the leading fantasy world:
Why is Warhammer: Vermintide 2 currently trending on Steam? Right now, the game is having a free weekend. That means: Until November 7, 2022, at 7:00 PM, you can get Warhammer: Vermintide 2 for free on Steam. Normally, the game costs €27.99.
What makes Warhammer: Vermintide 2 so good?On Steam the game is rated very well. Out of a total of 91,682 reviews, 83% are positive (as of November 5, 2022).
Many players praise the combat, especially in melee, as a good and fun gameplay. Many also enjoy the world of the game, which impresses with different locations, such as forests, swamps, mines, and cities. Some feel that they appreciate the atmosphere in the game. One player explains in detail what this means for him:
What is there to say about Warhammer Vermintide 2?
It is a graphically very good game that provides a great gaming atmosphere with many small details and atmospheric lighting. Graphics fans will therefore get their money’s worth.
But the “atmosphere” of the game is not only fueled by good graphics but also by 5 exciting characters that are available to the player with various skills.
And all are consistently well-voiced. (In English, with subtitles). The synchronization of the characters reacts to situations of all kinds – whether it’s rushing enemy hordes, boss monsters, or elite enemies – when discovering healing potions or grenades, collapsing buildings, or other map-specific events.
The characters also engage in small, sometimes amusing dialogues with each other during the gameplay, reinforcing the impression of being in a lively game world.
AMD has finally unveiled the Radeon RX 7000. The announcement makes MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann hopeful that gaming will remain affordable.Because the prices of the new cards seem more reasonable.
So far, both AMD and Nvidia have presented their new graphics cards for PC gamers. And both are vying for potential customers who are to purchase the new hardware:
Nvidia has kicked off with the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080. And so far, it looks like Nvidia will retain the crown for the fastest graphics card in 2022.
AMD has followed suit with the introduction of the RX 7900 XTX and the RX 7900 XT. With this, they aim to compete with the competition.
Whois writing this?
For MeinMMO, I have been testing hardware for our readers since 2019 and writing about hardware. I have been assembling gaming PCs for friends and family for several years and also optimize my own system.
Benedikt Schlotmann Hardware Editor MeinMMO
Nvidia believes: Graphics cards will not get cheaper
Where do these high prices come from? After Nvidia unveiled the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090, there was a lot of criticism regarding the high prices for the new hardware. On the occasion of the big unveiling of the RTX 4000, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang spoke with people and was also asked about the prices. He explained that graphics cards will not get cheaper, as Moore’s Law is dead and graphics cards will not get cheaper.
Moore’s Law states that the complexity and performance of circuits can double at minimal cost. Simply put, you get more performance without having to pay much more. So, more performance for less money.
According to Nvidia, that is not the case anymore. Graphics cards simply have to become more expensive: after all, effort, development time, and components go into the models, and that also costs money. However, you would also get great products for that.
Why is price a problem? About 20% of our readers on MeinMMO are willing to spend more than 1000 euros on a graphics card. And that is mainly because the prices for hardware have been too high for months. The majority of our users are not willing to pay more than 800 euros for a graphics card.
AMD announces RX 7000 and that gives me hope
What has AMD announced now? AMD unveiled two new graphics cards on November 3, 2022: The RX 7900 XTX and the RX 7900 XT. Moreover, they also revealed the prices for the new Radeon GPUs:
The RX 7900 XTX is expected to start at 999 US dollars.
The RX 7900 XT is expected to cost 899 US dollars at launch.
In Germany, prices with taxes and inflation are likely to be higher. But this places these graphics cards within the price range I would expect for high-end graphics cards. Just as it has been the case with a GeForce RTX 3080 or a Radeon RX 6900 XT.
Why does this give me hope? These prices for AMD’s high-end offerings make me hopeful that gaming will remain affordable in the future as well. Because the presented graphics cards are the high-end products for 4K and 8K. I am more interested in mid-range cards. These are graphics cards like a potential RX 7700 XT, which targets gamers who want to play in Full HD at 165 Hz or in WQHD.
If AMD sets the price for high-end at 999 US dollars, then further graphics cards should be priced beneath that. Here, I hope that I won’t have to spend more than 500 to 600 euros in the future if I want to “keep up” with other gamers. And I don’t have to invest more than 1000 euros, as Nvidia expects from me to utilize current features like DLSS 3.0.
And I am someone who is willing to forgo features if I can save several hundred euros. Even though Nvidia’s DLSS is incredibly good and AMD lags significantly behind Nvidia in ray tracing performance, that does not lead me to pay 400 euros more.
What else speaks in favor? AMD is currently showing a rather friendly pricing policy. AMD has lowered the prices for many RX 6000 series cards, and currently, I can even buy a Radeon RX 6950 XT, the current top model from AMD, for under 800 euros. Anyone who has not bought a graphics card yet could at least find something among the previous 6000 models.
What could dampen my hopes? Poor availability, greedy scalpers, or a new mining boom: These are all accompanying issues that seem to bring every console and graphics card release to a halt.
In the worst case, the new Radeon graphics cards are hardly available, and I would have to pay thousands of euros on eBay for a single graphics card once again. What good is a price-performance tip if the graphics cards are nowhere to be found? With the RTX 4090, there are once again these eBay problems with excessively priced scalping offers.
So, it is now a matter of waiting. By December 13, 2022, we will know more, as this is the official release of the graphics cards. If you want to get more information about AMD’s and Nvidia’s new graphics cards, then check here:
The popular Twitch streamer Rebecca, also known as “JustaMinx,” discovered on the morning of November 3rd that a window in her house had been smashed. However, this was only the beginning, as throughout the day she found an abandoned sleeping place under her house. All of this happened on her 26th birthday.
Who is JustaMinx? The streamer, often referred to simply as “Minx,” has been active on Twitch since 2016. Originally from Ireland, she now lives in the USA. Minx has been living in Los Angeles since December 2021.
On Twitch, Minx has 2 million followers, with an average of 1,800 viewers tuning in when she plays Overwatch or chats with her fans in Just Chatting. Minx does not hold back, which has led to her receiving a ban or two in the past (via sullygnome).
When Minx plays, she enjoys shooters like Valorant or currently Overwatch 2.

Cats of the streamer disappear after burglary
What happened on Minx’sbirthday? On the morning of November 3rd, her 26th birthday, the streamer found a window in her house smashed. Apparently, there had been a burglary or at least an attempt at one.
There was no sign of the two cats of the streamer, Cornelius and Sylum. On Twitter, Minx referred to it as perhaps the worst birthday of all time:

At that time, however, Minx was still unaware of what was to come. At least one of her cats, Cornelius, she was able to catch safely.
Minx discovers “drug den” under her house
What was under her house? In search of the missing Sylum, the streamer made a chilling discovery under her house: at least one person seemed to have set up camp there.
Minx reported that she found sleeping bags and alcohol in the space. There were also mentions of drugs.
Minx summarized her birthday: smashed window, searching for the cats, drug den discovered under the house.

What do we know about the burglars? As Minx reported, there are supposed to be recordings from the security cameras showing two men. However, they were wearing gloves, which would complicate the search for fingerprints (via Twitter).
Meanwhile, the streamer has also involved the police. However, Minx felt let down by the officers. They initially did not allow her to go under the house to search for her missing cat. Apparently, there were concerns that Minx might unintentionally destroy evidence.
In further posts on Twitter, the streamer made accusations against the police: The burglary, the disappearance of the cat, and even the sleeping place under the house seemed not to matter to them until she found the drugs.

The video attached to the tweet is said to show Minx and her cat sitter exploring the space under her house. Meanwhile, the police only chatted outside.
Was she able to find her cat? Soon after, Minx posted an update that initially seemed positive. It appeared she had finally located her second cat.
Later, however, the streamer clarified that she had only spotted him under the house. He was very scared and did not allow himself to be caught (via Twitter).

Were the perpetrators caught? That night, there was another incident: As the streamer reported on November 4th, the burglar is said to have appeared at her front door because she had uncovered his drug stash. There is still no update on whether anyone has been arrested.
Minx seems to be greatly affected by the situation, particularly by the disappearance of her cat. On Twitter , she writes that she spent the whole night outside waiting for her cat. Now she doesn’t know what else to do.
It is also not yet known if Minx will stay in the house she has apparently only recently moved into. However, she reported that she has not yet found her cat Sylum and does not want to leave the place until he is back home (via Twitter).
Minx is not the first streamer to be burglarized. In 2021, the Russian streamer “girl__fighter” was live on Twitch when a man broke into her apartment and began to vandalize it. He even knocked over her desk while she was still streaming.
The makers of Overwatch 2 have revealed who the new hero of Season 2 will be. Ramattra is the leader of the terror organization Null Sector, which you have encountered before. For the first time, you are really on the “evil side”.
Who is the hero? Ramattra is an Omnic and a good friend of the peaceful monk Zenyatta. He will be available as the new tank hero in Overwatch 2 after Sojourn, Kiriko, and Junker Queen, as soon as Season 2 starts.
The new tank hero is set to be released on December 6th.
Ramattra is also the leader of Null Sector, the terror organization against which you fight in the event “Uprising” (engl.: “Uprising”). Null Sector is an association of Omnics fighting for more rights using very drastic methods and is responsible for many deaths, especially in London. It was referred to as a terrorist organization in the animated short film “Rise and Shine” featuring Mei.
During the finals of the Overwatch League, a short teaser was released showcasing Ramattra’s background story. Originally, many fans suspected the stocky Mauga as the new tank hero since 2019.
Before the teaser, we from MeinMMO were able to attend a reveal event for Ramattra. The developers from Blizzard answered some questions about the new hero.
Check out the teaser for Ramattra here:
Start video
Overwatch 2: Story and teaser about the new hero from Season 2
“Ramattra will be the greatest threat on the battlefield”
What makes Ramattra special: The biggest feature of Ramattra is that he will have two forms: his normal Omnic form and his “Nemesis form”. Similar to Bastion, he can regularly transform for a short period.
As Nemesis, he is supposed to become the literally greatest threat in the game by growing enormously in size. How exactly that will look, we don’t know yet, but there have already been some details about Ramattra’s abilities:
as Omnic, he is supposed to “poke” at a distance, meaning bothering enemies and at the same time protecting his team with a barrier
as Nemesis, Ramattra is supposed to charge into enemies and deliver heavy blows to break through to the backline
overall, Ramattra is supposed to have more abilities than most heroes
the role is expected to be similar to that of Winston or D.Va as “Dive Tank”
The idea behind Ramattra is that enemies should truly fear him when they see he will soon become the Nemesis. You can counter him like all “big” enemies, for example, with Bastion, Ana’s sleep arrows, or Zenyatta’s damage debuff.
What is still pending is the unlocking of Ramattra. The new hero Kiriko was available for Free2Play players only at level 55 of the Battle Pass for Season 1. Whether Ramattra will also require so much grind is currently still under discussion according to the devs.
The new map in Season 2 is also supposed to have something to do with Ramattra – but no information has been provided yet. The developers also promised more heroes in the near future, especially support heroes, where the selection is currently quite limited. More information about Ramattra and other features is expected to be announced soon.
If you want to earn certain things in Overwatch 2, it might be worthwhile to try it in World of Warcraft:
Golden PokéStops, mysterious coins, and a new Pokémon that follows you everywhere? These are the changes you will experience in Pokémon GO after the Community Day.
What changes are these? Just before the start of the Community Day in the early time zones, data miners reported that a brand new Pokémon was found in the game’s data. It carries the Pokémon number 1080.
In the meantime, some trainers have completed the C-Day and confirm what big surprises await players afterwards.
Golden PokéStops, new Pokémon, many items from the stops – What is happening?
This is what trainers report: Right after the Community Day with Dratini on November 5, the stops in your games are supposed to turn gold. Not all, but many stops are likely affected. According to initial reports, there should be many items from them. “I receive A LOT of items from the golden PokéStops. About 15 per stop,” explains trainer aljamzz on reddit.
In the screenshot, you see the golden stops and the new Pokémon that follows on the bottom left – Source: okangorang on reddit
The new Pokémon that you see on the trainer’s screenshot on the left side above the player avatar is still quite unknown. The user okangorang, who shared the image, writes: I spun a golden PokéStop and then talked to Willow. Then I got a coin and this guy follows me now.
Today, on November 5, 2022, the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini is taking place in Pokémon GO, where you can again secure a special research task in the in-game shop. We at MeinMMO have looked at what tasks and rewards await you.
What kind of ticket is this? In Pokémon GO, the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini is taking place today, on November 5, 2022. Just like you are used to from the regular Community Days, there will be a corresponding event ticket today that brings you a special research task about the little dragon Pokémon.
This is available for just under one Euro in the in-game shop of the game under the name “Community Day Classic featuring Dratini.” You can find the ticket there in the category “Worldwide Events.” We have summarized what content you can expect in the ticket and whether the purchase is worth it below.
Community Day Classic featuring Dratini – All content
Where does the information come from? Since the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini is already well underway in some parts of the world due to the time difference, these trainers have already gained insight into the tasks and rewards of the special research.
They are actively sharing this on social media. Accordingly, there will again be a total of 4 task boards for this event, each containing 3 quests. We have summarized what they are and what rewards you can look forward to below with the help of LeekDuck’s overview.

Is the ticket for the C-Day Classic with Dratini worth it?
You must consider: When comparing the ticket price of just under one Euro with the actual value of the items in the in-game shop, it quickly becomes clear that you get a significantly higher value with the ticket. For example, you would pay the following in the shop for the individual items:
For incense, you pay 40 coins in the shop, which is approximately 0.40 Euros.
The Rocket Radar has a value of 200 coins, which corresponds to about 2.00 Euros.
For 80 coins, you get a Lucky Egg. That’s about 0.80 Euros.
To secure a Lure Module, you must pay 100 coins, which is around 1.00 Euros.
Additionally, you will also receive plenty of balls, berries, rare candies, experience points, and stardust from the special research, which you can use for your progress in Pokémon GO.
For whom is the ticket worth it? The event ticket is especially interesting for players who would have bought the items from the rewards in the in-game shop anyway. This way, you can save some coins.
However, if you do not currently need these items, you can also play the Community Day Classic without the special research and without buying the ticket. You will not incur any disadvantages from this.
What do you think of the special research on Dratini? Will you buy the event ticket? Or would you rather save your money for the Community Day with Teddiursa on November 12? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.

What are dragons in World of Warcraft and what is their history? We summarize the most important information about dragons for you.
In World of Warcraft, the release of the latest expansion “Dragonflight” is imminent. We are heading to the Dragon Isles, where we must help the various dragonflights solve a variety of problems. However, those who have not followed the story of Blizzard’s MMORPG from the beginning may not understand the dragons very well.
Do the colors have a special meaning?
Who are the leaders of the dragons?
Why are dragons so important to Azeroth?
Aren’t dragons actually evil?
With this article, we want to summarize the story of the dragons of World of Warcraft – so that you have enough knowledge to understand what is really going on in Dragonflight. Please note that we cannot explicitly cover every detail of the dragon’s story, as that already fills several books. Instead, this article is meant to provide you with the most important information to understand the larger context.
The Origin of the Dragonflights
In the early days of Azeroth, though much later than the battle of the Old Gods against the Titans, proto-dragons began to appear in Azeroth. According to legend, these dragons slowly evolved from elemental beings, conquering the skies and becoming the dominant species on Azeroth.
These proto-dragons visually resembled very little of the dragons we know today – their appearance was more brutish, their nature much more chaotic, and they were not as intelligent as they would later become. However, even then, different colors began to emerge among the proto-dragons, which would later correspond to the colors of the known dragonflights.
Among all the proto-dragons, there was a beast known as Galakrond. A gigantic dragon that continued to grow and threatened to swallow all other dragons. Corrupted by the Old Gods in the earth, this monster grew larger and more horrific, causing the otherwise warring dragonflights to see no other chance than to overcome their instinct to flee and stand together against Galakrond.
The gigantic Galakrond was so huge that he could swallow even the largest other dragons in one bite.
The five greatest dragons ultimately managed to defeat Galakrond. Impressed by this feat, the Titans chose these five great dragons to bestow a part of their power upon them. They were to be the guardians of Azeroth from then on. This marked the birth of the five great dragonflights:
The red dragon Alexstrasza became the Life-Binder and Queen of all dragons.
Her green sister Ysera became the Lady of Dreams and Guardian of the Emerald Dream.
The blue dragon Malygos became the Lord of Magic and Guardian of the Arcane.
The bronze dragon Nozdormu became the Master of Time and Guardian of Timeways.
The black dragon Neltharion became the Earth-Warder.
These dragons became known as the “Aspects”. The five great Aspects of Azeroth, each with their own area of responsibility, shared the mission to protect the planet.
In the cinematic “Legacy – Chapter 1”, Nozdormu recounts his perspective on the creation of the Aspects:
Start video

Through the power of the Titans, the appearance of the proto-dragons changed to the majestic dragon forms as we know them today. Their intelligence increased further, and they were also able to take on a humanoid form when interacting with other races.
For many millennia, the dragonflights thrived under Alexstrasza’s leadership, observing as the mortal races of Azeroth slowly came into existence. The Aspects worked hand in hand and took their role as guardians of Azeroth very seriously.
For this purpose, they also populated a specific archipelago, where they established their home – the Dragon Isles.
The Betrayal of the Earth-Warder
However, during all this time, Neltharion slowly began to alienate himself from his brothers and sisters. This was because the black dragon was haunted by whispers that emanated from the depths of the earth and reached him as the Earth-Warder. Slowly but surely, he succumbed to the whispers of the Old Gods and began to devise a plan to elevate himself and his flight over all dragons.
When the Burning Legion attacked during the “War of the Ancients” over 10,000 years ago, Neltharion put his plan into action. The dragonflights helped the mortals defend against the Legion’s demons, but their strength was not enough. So, Neltharion demanded the other Aspects to give part of their essence into an artifact – the Dragon Soul.
This relic possessed unimaginable power; however, the process weakened the Aspects – except for Neltharion, who retained all his power for himself.
Neltharion attacked his brothers and sisters, and the entire black flight turned against the other dragons. Many dragons died in the process, especially the blue flight was drastically reduced.
Although Neltharion failed to annihilate the other Aspects and seize world domination, he became one of Azeroth’s greatest threats. He renounced his role as Earth-Warder and henceforth called himself “Deathwing” or “Aspect of Death”.
In “Legacy – Chapter 2”, Nozdormu recounts the betrayal of the Earth-Warder:

WoW: New cinematic shows how Deathwing became the dark betrayer
In the next 10,000 years, little was known about the dragons. The remaining Aspects continued to fulfill their duties, while Deathwing attempted to manipulate the various races from within using his black dragons to plunge them into war time and again.
The Subjugation of the Red by the Orcs
A particularly pivotal moment for the dragons is the story surrounding Alexstrasza during the time of the Second War (Warcraft II). The Dragon Soul – now called the “Demon Soul” – was discovered by the orc Zuluhed, whom Deathwing had led to the Demon Soul. With the Demon Soul, the orcs of the Dragonmaw clan managed to subjugate Alexstrasza. The other red dragons could not save Alexstrasza for fear that the orc would annihilate them with the Demon Soul.
During this time, Alexstrasza was forced by the orcs to lay eggs continuously. The dragons and hatchlings that emerged were subsequently trained by the orcs, stripped of their will to serve as loyal mounts, bringing death and devastation to all of the orcs’ enemies.
As the Guardian of Life, Alexstrasza suffered particularly from this abuse – not only the compulsion to continually create new offspring, but also the fact that her children were now responsible for the deaths of countless beings.
Alexstrasza, as she freed herself from the captivity of the orcs.
When Alexstrasza was to be taken from one prison to another, Deathwing attacked to steal some of the Dragon Queen’s eggs – he wanted to create children for his own flight from them. However, this attack ultimately allowed Alexstrasza to be freed and the Demon Soul was destroyed by the human mage Rhonin.
The red dragons then disappeared from the scene and retreated to recover physically and emotionally from the tortures they and their queen had endured.
The Nexus War and the Death of the Blue Aspect
Since Malygos lost a large part of his flight during Deathwing’s betrayal, he was not the same anymore. He lived in seclusion with the remaining blue dragons and became more focused. Ultimately, he concluded during the era of “Wrath of the Lich King” that magic is something that mortal races must be deprived of. After all, magic had indirectly caused much suffering.
Malygos began to imprison and kill the mages of the mortal races while hoarding the magic of the world and its relics.
Although the other Aspects advised against this and especially Alexstrasza tried to convince Malygos, his plan stood: he wanted to eradicate all “evil” magic users from the world, which included the Kirin Tor of Dalaran and all other mortal magic users.
Malygos, the blue Aspect.
Alexstrasza then rallied the other dragonflights around her, leading to the “Nexus War” – the battle against Malygos, which ended with the death of the blue Aspect.
For several years, the position of Aspect remained vacant before the blue dragon Kalecgos took this position during the events of “Cataclysm”.
The Downfall of the Aspects
Just a few years ago, the Aspects lost a significant part of their titanic power. During the “Cataclysm” expansion, the final battle against Deathwing took place. He erupted from the earth and devastated Azeroth to bring about the “Hour of Twilight” – a twisted version of the world where the Old Gods had won and even Deathwing himself had died.
To stop the former Earth-Warder, the remaining Aspects brought the Dragon Soul from the past with the help of heroes and channeled their energy into it again. This ultimately allowed them to defeat Deathwing and put an end to his Cataclysm.

However, the recharging of the Dragon Soul came with a price, as the Aspects lost their immortality and much of the power that had been granted to them by the Titans. Along with that came the loss of fertility – since the Cataclysm, the great dragonflights can no longer lay eggs, limiting their number and causing it to continue to decrease.
Consequently, the dragons took a step back from world events and could only fulfill their duty of protecting the world to a lesser extent.
Having been robbed of a large part of their power, a few years later, the satyr Xavius managed to corrupt the green Aspect Ysera and turn her into a being of nightmare. Ysera then attacked the Temple of Elune and was slain by Tyrande and the heroes. However, Ysera’s soul was saved by the Moon Goddess and taken directly to Ardenweald, a realm of the Shadowlands. There, players could experience in “Shadowlands” how Ysera was resurrected and now occupies a place in the afterlife.

There are a total of 5 great dragonflights. We have summarized the most important information here briefly, so that you know what to expect from each dragon.
The Red Dragonflight
Current leader: Alexstrasza
The red dragonflight is responsible for the protection of life and creation as such. Accordingly, the dragon queen is often referred to as the “Mother of all Life” and many mothers of Azeroth even “pray” to Alexstrasza when asking for the protection of their children.
Known members: Korialstrasz
Alexstrasza is the leader of the red dragonflight.
The Green Dragonflight
Current leader: None, candidate is Merithra (daughter of Ysera)
Former leader: Ysera
The green dragonflight watches over nature and thereby over the Emerald Dream. Therefore, druids of the mortal races have a strong connection to this dragonflight. In the physical world, these dragons are often in deep sleep, as they spend more time in the Emerald Dream than in the waking world. However, this also makes them susceptible to the Nightmare, which has already consumed many green dragons and ultimately cost their lives.
Known members: Merithra
The Blue Dragonflight
Current leader: Kalecgos Former leaders: Malygos
The blue dragonflight is the guardian of magic and ley lines. Many of them collect magical artifacts to hide them especially from the “careless mortals.” They consider magic their domain and are more often found in cold areas. The blue dragonflight has been the most drastically reduced over the years – once due to Deathwing’s betrayal and once due to the Nexus War (“Wrath of the Lich King”).
Known members: Azuregos
The Bronze Dragonflight
Current leader: Nozdormu
The bronze dragons guard the timelines and ensure that history unfolds as it should. Their great adversaries are the followers of the “Eternal Dragonflight,” who seek to divert Azeroth from the true timeline and bring about other events. Therefore, the bronze dragons are constantly busy observing the past and future to identify and eliminate errors in the sequence before they have consequences for the present.
Known members: Chronormu (known as gnome “Chromie”)
The Black Dragonflight
Current leader: None, candidate is Furorion Former leaders: Neltharion, later known as Deathwing
The black dragonflight reigns over the land and the mountains and is capable of shaping entire regions. However, this has also made the members of this flight vulnerable to the Old Gods that had nested deep in the earth. Almost all black dragons are enemies, and many have tried to undermine the mortal races to influence the fates of humans and sow discord.

Aside from the 5 great dragonflights, there are also a number of smaller dragonflights, which mostly emerged from the others. They play only a minor role in the story of World of Warcraft, often taking the side of the antagonists – but their influence is still worth mentioning.
The Chromatic Dragonflight
A small, experimental flight that was bred by the black dragons. Neltharion and Nefarian (Neltharion’s son) attempted to unite all five dragonflights, creating some aberrations, few of which were viable. However, a handful of experiments succeeded at least partially and became fearsome creatures.
The Eternal Dragonflight
These dragons were once bronze dragons but were corrupted by various influences. They are the direct opponents of the bronze dragons and seek to throw the timelines out of balance to create a different narrative.
Murozond – an anagram of “Nozdormu”.
The Netherwings
Some black dragon eggs were taken to the swirling Nether and infused with its wild magics. The resulting dragons are called “Netherwings,” who mainly live in the shattered world and were used as mounts by the orcs. The “flight” is free now, but little is known about its fate.
Nightmare Dragons
The nightmare dragons are former green dragons who have fallen to the corruption of the nightmare. They are thus the direct opponents of the green dragons and seek to further spread the corruption of the nightmare. The corruption is so powerful that even the green Aspect Ysera was consumed by it.
The nightmare dragons are the opponents of the green.
Plague Dragons
Not an actual “flight”, but the attempt of the Cult of the Damned to manipulate dragons with the plague already in the egg. The dragons subsequently have necromantic powers and are supposed to help the cult spread the plague of undead further.
Twilight Dragons
A further experiment by the black dragons, carried out by Sintharia, a former companion of Neltharion. She attempted to alter some black dragon eggs with knowledge of the Nether dragons, creating the Twilight Dragons, which can cause particularly great destruction but are also very close to the madness of the Old Gods.
With Dragonflight, the story of the dragons will be further elaborated, and new details will come to light. However, with all the knowledge from this article, you should at least know the basics to ultimately understand what is really going on on the Dragon Isles.
Some quests in Genshin Impact prevent players from progressing in the main story. Their characters are too “busy” and cannot participate in the events until the quests are completed.
These are the quests: Genshin Impact offers its fans numerous side quests that they can complete in addition to the main story quest. This also includes character quests.
They provide a deeper insight into the background stories of playable characters, and in most of them, you can play the respective characters even if you do not yet own them. To unlock them, you need special keys starting from Adventure Rank 32, which can be earned through daily quests.
You can own a maximum of 8 keys. This leads some players to unlock the character quests so that their additional keys do not expire. However, they do not complete them immediately, and this turned out to be a problem with the latest update.

Genshin Impact: Nahida – Preview of the Abilities
“Nilou is busy”
This is the problem: The characters in Genshin Impact follow the game’s internal logic that they cannot be in multiple places at the same time. This means that if a character is already involved in a quest, it must be completed before they can jump into the next quest.
So if you have accepted Nilou’s story quest and have not completed it yet, then you will not get far in the new main quests. These quests require the presence of certain characters for their progress, but if they are already stuck in a character quest, an error message appears, and they are shown as “busy”.

Diverse players were caught off guard on Reddit and social media when they wanted to dive into the new main quests after the last update on November 2. The characters that have been reported as too busy so far include:
Collei
Nilou
Tighnari
Cyno
If you wanted to leisurely play through the new story section over the weekend, be sure to check your quest list to see if there are any surprises waiting for you.
How do I avoid this? The simplest solution to the problem is, of course, to not accept character quests before the main story is completed. However, if you have already accepted such a quest, you have no choice but to finish it first. After that, you can continue playing the main story.
However, there seems to be another option for patient fans who have enough keys. Some posts on Twitter report that certain dialogues in the main story change if you complete the character quests beforehand.
It might be worth finishing all corresponding side quests beforehand to get the most out of the main story. However, this information has not yet been confirmed.
Have you also been caught or do you always complete your side quests immediately? Let us know in the comments.
On November 5th, the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini will take place in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO will show you what bonuses to expect on this day and how to make the most of the event.
What event is it about? In addition to the monthly Community Days that take place in Pokémon GO, Niantic occasionally holds a so-called Community Day Classic. Just like the regular C-Day, a specific Pokémon is highlighted, which is then available almost everywhere during the event.
Unlike the “original”, during the Community Day Classic, you will encounter Pokémon that have had a C-Day in the past and are now entering the second event round. That’s why on Saturday, you can expect the dragon Pokémon Dratini.
Community Day Classic in November 2022 – Start & Bonuses
What? Community Day Classic featuring Dratini When? Saturday, November 5, 2022, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time Pokémon of the Day: Dratini is more likely to be found in the wild Exclusive Attack: Draco Meteor, if you evolve Dragonair into Dragonite up to 2 hours after the event Bonuses: – triple Stardust when catching – incense and lures last 3 hours – surprises in snapshots Update:After the C-Day, you can expect golden stops and a new Pokémon
Just like the regular Community Day, the C-Day Classic also lasts for 3 full event hours. However, you can secure the event attack only until 7:00 PM local time.
What content is available in the shop? You can also find content for the event in the in-game shop:
Special research “Community Day Classic featuring Dratini” for about 1 Euro
Will there be group bonuses and 4-player raids? No, there will be no group bonuses or special event raids for the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini, unlike the regular Community Days.
How to make the most of the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini
How to prepare: If you want to play all day and catch a lot of Dratini, you should definitely make some space in your Pokémon storage. So sort out a fair amount now. The best way to do this is by using the filter function in the game. By entering “0*,1*,2*”, you will only see Pokémon that have a rating of 2 stars or less.
Use the filter function in the game
During the event, you can also add the entry “Older0” to this filter to only see Pokémon that are no older than 24 hours.
Additionally, you should also have some items ready. So make some space in your item bag and stock up on the essential items.
5 items that are useful for the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini
Balls: The most important item for the Community Day Classic are, of course, balls, because without them you can’t catch the Pokémon. If you play the full 3 hours, you should have at least 200 balls as a supply, so you don’t have to order more immediately.
Incense & Lures: To attract a lot of Dratini, it is advisable to use incense and lures. Since both will be active for 3 hours again, one of each will be enough. If you want to equip more than one PokéStop with lures, you’ll need more accordingly.
Keep these items ready for the Community Day Classic
Star Pieces: Since you will receive a Stardust bonus during the Community Day Classic, it is worth having a few Star Pieces on hand. With these, you receive 50% more Stardust for 30 minutes. You need this if you want to level up Pokémon or trade monsters with a friend.
Sananaberries: If you want to take advantage of the event to collect a lot of candies, you should definitely have a stock of Sananaberries. With these, you get double candies when catching. This is especially worthwhile if you want to bring your Pokémon to level 50.
Activate the right Mega Evolution
Why is a Mega Evolution worth it? If the right Mega Evolution is active during the Community Day, you can earn an additional candy for each Dratini you catch.
Which evolution is the right one? Since Dratini is a dragon Pokémon, you need a Mega Evolution of the dragon type. Use one of the following Pokémon:
Is the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini worth it?
Are there shiny Dratini? Yes, Dratini can also be obtained in its shiny form in the game. During the Community Days, the chances of finding a shiny are generally increased, so you have a good chance of encountering a corresponding specimen on Saturday. You can recognize it by its pink body.
Dratini, Dragonair & Dragonite normal (top) and as shinies (bottom)
How strong is Dratini? The dragon Pokémon from the first generation of games does not have particularly high stats and is therefore uninteresting for use in raids and the GO Battle League. However, it can be evolved into Dragonair and then into Dragonite.
In contrast to Dratini, Dragonite boasts high attack and stamina stats, and its defense is solid as well. With a moveset consisting of Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw, it may not surpass the top dragon Pokémon Rayquaza and Dialga, but it is still among the best dragon attackers in the game.
And even in the GO Battle League, Dragonite is right up there with a moveset of Fire Spin, Dragon Claw, and Superpower, securing 2nd place in the PvPoke rankings.
Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video
Who should take advantage of the C-Day Classic? The Community Day Classic is particularly worthwhile for players who are still looking for a strong candidate for raids or PvP battles. Especially in the Master League, Dragonite is well-suited for use, but it can also hold its own in raids.
Additionally, shiny hunters will be well served on this day. If you have not yet secured a shiny specimen, be sure to take advantage of this opportunity. With the Stardust bonuses, you can also significantly replenish your stock.
What do you think about the content of the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini? Will you take part in the event? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss with other trainers.
Gold plays an important role in New World . You use it to pay for your houses and taxes, buy items from the auction house, and pay your crafting fees. But how do you actually earn the coins quickly in the new MMO? We at MeinMMO reveal it to you in our “Gold farming” guide to New World.
How do you earn gold in New World? Basically, you earn gold for almost all activities:
Quests
City projects
Loot from monsters
Dismantling items
Selling items or crafting materials to other players
However, there are also some tricks to earn coins particularly quickly. We want to present you with 4 of these tips in this guide.
This article was last updated on November 4, 2022, with a new tip.
Trick 1: Earn money through faction missions
What kind of method is this? The faction missions offer two interesting methods to reward you with gold:
On the one hand, you will receive bonus coins for the first 3 missions of the day, which makes the missions interesting in the endgame. Here, up to 700 coins are possible.
On the other hand, you will receive faction tokens. With these faction tokens, you can buy the Rune of Holding, which is worth it, at least on the Fresh Start servers.
The rune comes in various levels and for a different number of tokens. However, they all fetch a lot of money at the trading post, as the rune is needed to create new bags. And every player needs more bag space, as we all know.
How much can one earn? Basically, the small Rune of Holding costs you 1,000 tokens (about 3 to 4 missions) and 250 coins. The price at the trading post varies depending on the server and settlement. Currently, the rune brings between 280 and 350 coins, thereby significantly exceeding its costs.
With higher reputation levels in your faction, there are higher runes of holding available. These will yield more money.
Depending on the server, you should also check whether it is worth selling the rune directly or first crafting a bag and then offering it at the trading post.
Trick 2: Complete side quests
What kind of method is this? It sounds very trivial, but complete all side quests in the game. Unlike city quests and faction missions, they reward you with a decent amount of gold.
How much can one earn? That completely depends on the quest. However, even low-level side quests usually reward between 100 and 300 coins. Those who are quick can thus earn a lot of coins.
However, many quests can only be completed once, which somewhat reduces your income in the endgame. But then there are the endgame contents. There are, however, especially in the expeditions, repeatable quests that can be worthwhile for farming – with the right group.
Trick 3: Participate in Outpost Rush, Wars, and Invasions
What kind of method is this? In this method, you participate in the endgame contents Outpost Rush (Level 60), invasions (Level 60), and wars (here you need luck to be taken along). These contents reward you with many coins, even if you lose.
How much can one earn? That depends on the respective mode:
In Outpost Rush, you earn gold depending on victory or defeat, as well as your personal ranking on the leaderboard. Even with a defeat, you can come to 200 to 350 coins for a round, while the maximum for a victory is in the range of 300 to 500 coins.
In wars, you earn up to 720 coins if you are level 60, and as a loser around 400 coins.
In invasions, you receive 720 as a winner. In case of a defeat, there are 480 coins.
Additionally, there is a PvP reward track that regularly brings bags of around 500 to 800 coins. You also collect progress for this through Outpost Rush and wars.
Trick 4: Farm materials and upgrade if necessary
What kind of method is this? In New World, there are two methods to earn money through crafting:
You can gather materials and then sell them. Due to the special crafting system, even low-level materials are always relevant.
In the endgame, there are materials that you can only craft a certain amount of per day.
Lucrative endgame items include Runestones, Asmodeum, Glittering Ebony, Phoenix Weave, and Rune Leather. However, you need the corresponding professions at level 200 for this.
How much can one earn? That depends on the respective server. All materials can be sold for more than the individual components. People pay for not having to wait days.
Trick 5: Trade in the right trading post
What kind of method is this? Whether you sell materials or buy expensive items cheaply and then sell them at a higher price – known as flipping – it is important that you trade in the right settlement.
Because each town has different trading taxes:
On the one hand, you can lower costs by increasing your reputation in the area and choosing the bonus to reduce taxes.
On the other hand, the company sets taxes that control the respective settlement.
Pay attention to the trading tax when buying and selling goods in settlements.
How much can one save? That varies greatly and depends on the respective servers and of course the owners of the settlement.
If you look at the taxes, you can save between 1% and 10% of the value of your sold goods. Those who want to earn their gold through trading should definitely keep an eye on all settlements.
Tip 6: Farm trophy components
What kind of method is this? In this method, you try to collect rare components for endgame trophies in housing.
You mainly get these from chests in Brackwater or Weaver’s Fen. You just need to find and open these. The chance for rare items can be increased, by wearing equipment with luck as a stat.
How much can one earn? This again depends on the servers. However, there are rare items that are worth hundreds to thousands of coins, such as loaded dice.
In New World, housing plays an important role. Houses serve as fast travel points that can be used for free and provide buffs for players through trophies. But where should you build your first house? And where the others? We at MeinMMO will tell you.
Where should you buy your first house? The best areas for the first house are Windkreis or Immerfall. They are very central, which makes them particularly useful as teleport points. They used to be the best spots for trading, but the auction houses are now global since patch 1.1, so you don’t have to worry about that anymore.
For several reasons, we recommend Windkreis for the first house:
The second house to cover the middle, house 3 in the endgame area
Where should I buy the second house? For the second house, Lichtholz or Webermoor are the best choices. This way, you cover the middle well and have short distances to the endgame areas.
Where should I buy the third house? Here there are also two spots: Either you buy a house in Ebenmaß or in Brackwasser. We recommend Ebenmaß especially if you bought your house 2 in Webermoor beforehand and like to do the farming and portal runs in this area. In Ebenmaß, there are plenty of endgame contents that players frequently run.
If you already have your house in Lichtholz, you will have a relatively short distance to Ebenmaß. Then a house in Brackwasser might be worth it. Here you have access to the dungeon Lazarus Instrument and several endgame runs like Sirens.
This is what our recommended map coverage looks like.
Where should the teleport point go? You set the teleport point in the inn at the end in Bruchberg. This way you have covered the whole map well according to our plan and have the teleport points such that you never have to walk more than one area on foot to reach everything on the map.
Where did you buy your first house? And how does your distribution look? Feel free to write it in the comments.

In Singapore, the tournament “T11” was played in MOBA DOTA 2 (Steam). “The International” is known for its huge prize pools: in 2021, it was about 40 million $, and in 2022, the prize pool is approaching 20 million $. The 25-year-old Neta “33” Shapira is part of the winning team this year and made his mother proud. Because at just 17, he perfectly explained to her what he planned to do with his life: He wanted to become a professional gamer and win a major tournament – by the time he was 25.
What kind of tournament is this?
“The International” is the world championship of DOTA 2. The MOBA is one of the biggest games on Steam.
“TI” is known for having extremely high prize pools, as the winnings are tied to a Battle Pass of the popular game.
In 2021, the tournament distributed a total of 40 million US dollars in prize money. This year, the pool is already around 19 million $ and will continue to grow.
On the occasion of the tournament, Gabe made a personal appearance:

A teenager wanted to become a gaming pro at 17 – Mom is so proud of him
This special story is from one of the winners: The team “Tundra Esport” (based in London) dominantly won the tournament in 2022: The casters said the team had cracked the code of Dota 2.
There are 5 players from around the world: a German occupies the midlane position, a US player is the supporter at position 5, and a Slovak is the hard carry at position 1.
The Israeli offlaner Neta “33” Shapira was one of the lucky winners. He plays at position 3.
As reported by Dotesports, “33” also invited his family on stage, and his mom was allowed to raise the trophy.
A Facebook post from his mother went around the world. She wrote (via reddit):
Since he was 12 years old, he played for hours on the computer. At 17, he showed us a documentary, “Free to play”, so we could understand what kind of game DOTA 2 is and what he wants to do with his life: He wanted to become a professional E-sport player. By the time he is 25, he wanted to win his first big international tournament, he said. Today, at 25 and a half years old, he has fulfilled that wish. Mom is proud of him.

Apparently, the last 13 years have gone perfectly for the then 12-year-old, and he is still right on schedule.
That’s a nice story – especially for gamers, many of whom struggle to explain to their parents why they “can’t just hit pause” and that it’s a real hobby like football.
There are always stories of pros who make their mothers proud, who believed in them:

Update, 20:10: The patch notes are now online via infinityward.com. We have updated the article.
The release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was very successful, but not without issues. Step by step, the developers are fixing the technical stress, including with the latest update 1.08.
CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up
CoD MW2: Update 1.08 – Patch Notes from 03.11.
When is the update coming? The patch is already online.
How large is the update? This time it is very varied, and especially players on Xbox report very large download files.

Do you play Destiny 2? Then you should know Xur. He is the NPC vendor who helps players complete their exotic collection faster. But only if you know where to find him. MeinMMO tracks Xur every Friday and tells you what you can get from him.
What happened in Destiny 2 this week? Things are getting quieter in Destiny 2 now that Season 18 has almost exhausted its potential.
The free Halloween event is still running for now, but that ends next Tuesday. If you still need candies or masks, the coming days are your last opportunity. And those who still need enhancement cores or glimmer will be well supplied at the event.
Additionally, two Bungie employees discussed in a podcast about weapons, raid vendors for craftable weapons, and craftable exotics. Even the magical words “weapons of the Black Armory” have been spoken.
The question of the best DLC in Destiny 2 is now answered differently. The once top DLC “Forsaken” from 2018 simply lacks the hard challenge. The new DLC top favorite among players offers that and thus rises to the top of the DLC hit list.
Are you already fleeing from the Headless or are you still farming them?
All info about Xur on November 4, 2022 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur come? The exotic vendor visits Destiny 2 every Friday at 6 PM. Anyone who still has gaps in their exotic collection awaits him then, as he is the easiest way to get exotics. It only costs you a round trip and some materials as payment.
Where is Xur? This is his location for the weekend
Xur’s location: Xur can be found at a different location every week. So you never know exactly where to find him.
Xur is located in the European Dead Zone in the Shattered Coast.
Xur is in the EDZ.
Xur’s inventory from November 4 – November 8 – All exotics at a glance
What does Xur offer? As the chosen exotic vendor of the “Nine”, a mysterious group in Destiny 2, Xur delivers new weapons and armor to the players weekly on their behalf. All characters, namely Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans, can shop with him. Whether you are new to the game or already experienced Guardians.
This is Xur’s offer this week:
This is what Xur offers from November 4 to November 8.
Weapon: The Prospector – Arc grenade launcher for 29 Legendary Shards
Xur also sells legendary items and offers unique rolls for exotics from no longer available exotic missions from previous DLCs each week. However, keep in mind: You can only buy the weapons if you also own the corresponding expansion.
Currently, he has these two weapons for sale:
The exotic hand cannon “Hawkmoon” (Beyond Light) with the perk “Overflow”
The exotic scout rifle “The Last Word” (Beyond Light) with the perk “Lawless”
The cost of the weapons: For these two exotics, the costs are each 1 Ascendant Shard, 1 Exotic Cipher, 125,000 Glimmer, and 200 Legendary Shards.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has made many gameplay adjustments and plays differently than its predecessors. Therefore, MeinMMO author Maik Schneider has a little tip for you that was already good before and is now almost OP – run slower.
In this short guide, I want to give you an important tip that can improve your gameplay instantly:
Sprint less, be overall slower!
I will give you 3 good reasons to slow down in CoD MW2, so your killfeed can flourish.
CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up
CoD MW2: Slower! – Movement mechanics are weaker
What does that mean? Compared to earlier CoD titles, movement has been heavily nerfed. You can see this in two important techniques:
Slide-cancel no longer in the game
Bunny hopping is hardly worth it anymore
Also, sliding itself is significantly slower than before and doesn’t allow you to shoot for a certain time. Overall, many actions in the game are slower, such as using equipment or activating killstreaks.
You shouldn’t completely stop sprinting – a quick run from one cover to another is still strong. However, if you suspect enemies nearby, always remain at walking speed until you are sure where the enemy is.
Also, pay attention to mission objectives in the individual modes – an important tip from MeinMMO user “Hosenschlange”. To collect tags in “Kill Confirmed” or to quickly get points in a position, sometimes a quick sprint is the only option.
What does that mean? Sprinting makes your weapons worse. There are several modifiers that affect your aim down sights speed (ADS speed). The faster you are, the slower you aim, which leads to disadvantages in direct combat:
Normal running: Standard ADS speed
Sprinting: Decreased ADS speed
Tactical sprint: Even lower ADS speed
If an enemy comes around the corner at full speed, they have a significant disadvantage in their aim speed. Unless you’re using a battle rifle focused on range, you will aim faster and shoot the enemy out of the picture.
However, hipfire setups from submachine guns can still annoy you. They don’t need to aim and can shoot right away – but they have a limited range.
What does that mean? Steps are a valuable tool for detecting enemies even without visual contact. However, if you run around, the enemy’s steps are drowned out by your own. You simply hear enemies worse.
In addition, continuous sprints usually don’t allow for sufficient reconnaissance. You can’t check every corner, not every time quickly “left” and “right” when crossing an uncovered area.
I have been with the franchise for 14 years, and the movement has never been as relaxed as in Modern Warfare 2.
Optimal for my playstyle, my strengths – I could never get used to the CoD jetpacks, and I also recommend to my teammates to take it slow when things aren’t going well.
Through Twitch Drops, you can get exclusive cosmetics for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. For this, events are running on Twitch from time to time, where you can watch certain streamers for gifts. We will show you how to set up Twitch Drops here.
What are “Twitch Drops”? These are promotional actions between game developers and Twitch. When you watch selected streamers during an event, you can earn in-game items. The longer you watch, the more items you can receive.
From October 28 to November 6, such an event is taking place for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In total, you can secure 5 items – from stickers to weapon blueprints, everything is included.
In the video, you will see the latest information about Warzone 2.0:

All rewards in overview
How do Twitch Drops work for CoD: MW2?
First, you need a Twitch account. Follow the link to create an account if you don’t have one yet. After that, the further procedure differs depending on whether you have an Activision account or a Battle.net account:
What’s next? Once you have successfully linked your account, you are ready to participate in the Twitch Drops.
To do this, visit the website Twitch.tv and navigate through the search to streamers who regularly play Call of Duty. Pay attention to messages in the chat that drops are active with these streamers. Streamers often write this in the titles of their streams as well.
Then you just have to watch them play Call of Duty for a while. You should receive a notification that the stream is enabled for Twitch Drops. If you have watched long enough, there will be a notification that you have earned an item. After one hour, you will have earned all the rewards.
Sometimes it may take a little while before you can access the rewards in the game. Just be patient; the items usually appear after a few minutes.
On November 17, the new MMO Frozen Flame (Steam) will start in Early Access and can then be played by everyone. The game impresses with a unique gameplay concept and beautiful graphics. We at MeinMMO summarize.
What kind of game is Frozen Flame? The survival MMORPG draws you into a world that is repeatedly destroyed and goes by the name Arkana. In it exists a magical flame that can curse living beings and turn them into deranged monsters.
Your goal is to survive only until the so-called Cataclysm occurs, which will annihilate your world and your character. Or you manage to prevent it.
To tackle this, you can play the following content in Frozen Flame:
Crafting elements as well as taming creatures and building structures
Survival aspects in the form of hunger, fighting against other players, and cold
An action combat system where you have to actively attack and evade
A large, open world where you can also climb and fly
How does the game work? While you are playing Frozen Flame and battling through the world with your character, a constant danger lurks behind you. You complete quests, craft, and defeat bosses, either alone or with up to 50 other players on the official servers, but you can also create your own.
The aim is to prevent the Cataclysm, which is triggered by a major boss in a fortress. If it happens, the game world and everything in it is destroyed, including your character.
Then you must start from the beginning but retain some of your progress, a few items, and your strength. You will thus get stronger at every world-end until you eventually manage to stop the Cataclysm.
This has been well received: For this idea, Frozen Flame has already won numerous awards. Among them, one for Best Game Design at White Nights 2018 and at the NYX Awards 2022.
Fans are also looking forward to the game, as can be seen from the reddit for the game in numerous threads. So far, there have only been a few betas for the game, in which one could participate with a bit of luck. But now the Early Access is finally set to start.
It has hit potential, just like this Early Access hit with “potato” in the name:
This starts on November 17, and from then on, everyone can participate. However, there is still no exact price for it. Access to the beta currently costs 24.99 €, so it is possible that Early Access will also be in a similar price range.
The game is expected to remain in Early Access for about 12 months and then become a full-fledged Buy2Play title, so you need not worry that your money is just for early access and the game will then become Free2Play.
What do you think about it? Do you think Frozen Flame can convince more than the survival game Rend, which had a similar approach?
In New World, the “Fresh Start” servers opened on November 2nd. The first player reached max level after just 18 hours. He reveals how he accomplished this on reddit.
The leveling phase is more streamlined, requires less travel, and needs less XP
What has changed in the leveling phase? The first levels from 1 to 25 have been completely overhauled. There are many adjusted quests, more story, and significantly shorter travel distances. The required experience points from level 35 to 55 have been significantly reduced. Additionally, new quests have been added that can be completed on the path to max level.

On November 9, the highly anticipated God of War: Ragnarök will finally be released for the PS5 and PS4. This is likely the last major exclusive title for the PlayStation 4. However, you will learn in this article why the console can retire not just because of that.
On November 9, it’s finally time: God of War: Ragnarök will be released as the sequel to the 2018 released God of War for the PS4. The latter is considered one of the best PlayStation 4 games of all time and has an outstanding rating of 94 points on the comparison site Metacritic (via Metacritic).
Since the PS5 has unfortunately been rather scarce so far, many gamers will probably play the sequel on the PlayStation 4. For this reason, it is interesting to take a look at the performance of God of War: Ragnarök on the last-gen console.
The launch edition with extra bonuses if you preorder the game by November 8 is now available at MediaMarkt for €69.99 for the PS5 and €64.99 for the PS4 (including PS5 upgrade).
God of War: Ragnarök on the PS4
One thing is clear: the PS5 is certainly the better platform for God of War: Ragnarök. This is mainly because of the better graphics and faster loading times, but also because you can play the game at smooth 60 FPS.
How is the game’s graphics on the PS4? In short: the game still looks incredibly good on the older hardware of the PS4. If the predecessor from 2018 was already a true visual delight, the developers have really upped their game for Ragnarök.
The game runs at a maximum of Full HD (1080p), but it is clear to see how Santa Monica Studios made sure that everything is sharp, readable, and easily recognizable, even on the last-gen console.
How many FPS does GoW: Ragnarök have on the PlayStation 4? The PS4 only achieves 30 FPS, but usually quite consistently. Only in larger battles with many characters and effects do you occasionally experience brief frame rate drops. Motion blur contributes to the overall smoothness of the game.
How does the game run on the PS4 Pro? On the Pro version of the PS4, you benefit from the console’s better technology. In calm moments and when wandering through the landscape, you can enjoy stable 60 FPS in Full HD with the PS4 Pro. However, it is important to activate the performance mode on the PS4 Pro.
However, once you are involved in action-packed battles, the frame rate noticeably decreases: then the console only achieves 40 to 50 FPS – significantly less than on the PS5. The draw distance is also lower on the PS4 Pro.
In this video from IGN, you can watch a performance comparison of the two versions for PS5 and PS4:

Are there drawbacks to playing God of War: Ragnarök on your PS4?
As good as the game may present itself visually on the old hardware of the PS4, unfortunately, it still shows that God of War: Ragnarök pushes the last generation to its limits.
This is mainly due to the fact that you will most likely never have heard your PS4 as loud as it currently is. The console literally works its “heart out” to deliver performance on the screen and thus sounds almost like a roaring engine.
The only thing you can do about it is to occasionally clean the console.
Tips and tricks on how to quiet and clean your PS4 can be found here:
God of War: Ragnarök is the farewell that the PS4 deserves
It is clear that God of War: Ragnarök will probably be the absolute peak of what the PS4 can deliver.
This is perfectly fine, as the universally acclaimed game (via Metacritic) is a truly worthy title to gradually lay the last-gen console to rest.
Since Sony has also announced that they want to significantly increase the production of the PS5 and the first effects of this are already noticeable here, you can safely say goodbye to your PS4 after the nearly 20 hours of gameplay of the last part of the God epic.

Crossplay in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 allows you to play with friends across the boundaries of your platform. MeinMMO reveals the most important details about the feature.
What is Crossplay? Crossplay allows you to play with friends, regardless of whether you all use the same platform.
You can easily play with friends on PC or Xbox Series X/S even if you are using a PS5 or PS4. Crossplay is available for all multiplayer modes, whether you prefer classic multiplayer like Team Deathmatch or you like to play the coop modes of CoD like Special Ops and Raids or Warzone.
To use the crossplay feature, you need a Battle.net account or an Activision account. If you do not have one of these accounts yet, you can create one for free as soon as you want to play online for the first time. Alternatively, you can also create an account through their respective websites.
Start the game and log in with the respective account
In the game, you need to navigate to the “Options” tab in the menu
(Only PlayStation) – Under the “Account” tab you will find “Crossplay” where you can enable or disable the option with a switch
To invite friends to play, you need to navigate to the “Social” tab in the menu
There you will find the option “Invite Friends”

Can you disable Crossplay?
Crossplay is always turned on by default – Currently, it can only be deactivated without issues on PlayStation.
To do this, navigate to the “Options” button in the menu. There you will find the “Account” tab and there “Crossplay”. With a toggle switch, you can deactivate the feature and reactivate it if needed.
On PC, you cannot turn off the option at all, on Xbox only for most modes:
Can you add friends from other platforms? Yes, this is easily possible and very simple. To add your friends from other platforms to your friend list or group, you must first be logged in with your Battle.net or Activision account. Then go to the menu and navigate to the “Social” tab, where you will find the option “Invite Friends”.
The easiest way is to add friends using the Activision or Battle.net ID. You can find your own ID in the top right corner of the main menu. The ID is formatted as follows: Username#1235.
Crossplay and Cross-Progression, what is the difference? Cross-Progression is another feature of CoD: Modern Warfare 2. It ensures that your game progress is saved across platforms.
This happens automatically through your Battle.net or Activision account and applies to both single-player and multiplayer. Thanks to Cross-Progression, you can easily switch from the console in your living room to the PC in your office without losing your progress – your game settings will also be transferred.
Now it’s your turn! What do you think about Crossplay? Is it great that you can play with friends from other platforms? Or would it be better if everyone stayed to themselves? Feel free to leave us a comment and share your opinion!
