FIFA 23: Out of Position is live – With really strong striker card for Salah

In FIFA 23 starts a new event called “Out of Position.” We will show you the new special cards of the FUT promo.

Update, October 28, at 7:00 PM: The event is now live and the new OOP cards are available. Especially strong cards are available for Salah (92), who is now a striker, as well as for CM Cancelo (90), LF Hernandez (88), and RF James (88).

Here you can view the original article.

When does Out of Position start in FIFA 23? The event starts on Friday, October 28, 2022, at 7:00 PM in FIFA 23. This is now confirmed by a loading screen in Ultimate Team, after leaks had previously hinted at the possible event.

At 7:00 PM, the current Rulebreakers event will also end and make way for the new promo. But what could the event bring?

What does Out of Position bring to FIFA 23?

What kind of event will this be? The name itself is already a pretty clear hint. It is likely to be an event where players are assigned to other, perhaps unusual positions.

FIFA 23 Out of Position
The new loading screen confirms the event

Such an event has already occurred in the past in FIFA, called “Shapeshifters” – but it didn’t arrive until very late, in Summer 2022, in FIFA 22. It provided some of the most popular players in Ultimate Team with new positions.

Left-back Davies from Bayern, for example, received a striker card, defender Sergio Ramos also landed in attack, and Mario Gomez suddenly ran around in defense. Similar changes are expected for “Out of Position”.

What do leaks say about Out of Position in FIFA 23?

Leaks about Out of Position in FIFA 23: After leakers had already revealed that this event could be coming in recent days, first candidates for special cards are now also known.

The well-known leaker “FUT Sheriff” has shared on Twitter some names.

Notably, Salah is expected to come as a striker and Theo Hernandez as an attacking player. Reece James is also apparently getting a card, as well as Cancelo.

However, these are still just leaks, not official information. Which cards will ultimately appear in the event remains to be seen – until the start of Out of Position.

In FIFA 23, new positions could be even more interesting, as the chemistry system has significantly changed. There are now alternative positions for various players, but also the restriction that they only provide chemistry in their correct position.

Positions have become much more important in FIFA 23 than before. All the more exciting new alternatives could become.

As soon as there are more information about the event, we will keep you updated here.

CoD MW2: Players are happy about the permanent boost of weapon XP, but only one platform gets the advantage

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is finally out and as in previous years, PlayStation players get advantages once again. Some of these are quite worthwhile, but Xbox and PC players can breathe a sigh of relief as there is no exclusive mode this time.

What are the advantages this year? CoD MW2 celebrates its release and PlayStation players can enjoy a few advantages again. MeinMMO will show you what they are:

  • PlayStation Party Bonus
  • free Combat Packs every season
  • two additional loadouts
  • bonus for the Battle Pass Bundle
  • monthly double XP events

If you want to know what CoD MW2 changes in the gameplay of the shooter series, we will embed a related video:

CoD Modern Warfare 2: Important changes explained quickly – With gameplay

Additional Loadouts and Boost for Weapon XP

What does the PlayStation Party Bonus bring? Among the advantages, one exclusive addition stands out: the PlayStation Party Bonus.

With the PlayStation Party Bonus, PlayStation players receive an additional 25% weapon XP when playing in a party with other players. This bonus is active even when your team members are playing with you from another platform via cross-play.

What are the free Combat Packs? PlayStation players receive free Combat Packs every season from CoD MW2, which can contain items like operator skins, weapon blueprints, and emblems.

You can check how such a package looked back from Vanguard times here:

What do the extra loadouts bring? In addition to free Combat Packs, PlayStation players also receive two additional loadout slots where they can save their self-created classes. You unlock these along with the ability to create a class when you reach level 4.

Bonus for the Battle Pass Bundle: PlayStation players who purchase the Battle Pass Bundle receive five additional tier skips, allowing them to skip a total of 25 levels.

Double XP Events: Exclusive events will take place every month, giving PlayStation players double XP. These events will be active for 24 hours and are usually linked with other XP events – on PS, they run a day longer.

CoD MW2 has no exclusive mode

What were the advantages in the past? Although the PlayStation Party Bonus can be a strong advantage, allowing PlayStation players to get to the best weapons faster, the advantages this year are relatively minor.

Looking at Call of Duty: Cold War, we see many advantages that have also returned in MW2. These include additional loadouts and the party bonus, as well as double XP events and advantages for the Battle Pass Bundle. However, what is missing in MW2, and what may please Xbox and PC players, is an exclusive mode.

In CoD: Cold War, PlayStation players had an exclusive mode for 1 year. This was the Zombie mode Onslaught, which was only playable on other platforms 12 months after the release of the shooter.

What do you think of the PlayStation advantages? Do you find them acceptable in MW2, or do you think CoD should separate itself from this in the future? Feel free to write it to us here on MeinMMO in the comments!

Have you already tested CoD MW2? Please share your first impressions with us!

If you’re currently looking for the hardcore mode, it’s now called Tier 1 and will be available soon according to Infinity Ward.

  • 50 rounds
  • and the notorious flawless run that leads you to the lighthouse

CoD MW2: Free skin from Burger King creates a black market on Ebay – selling for $40

At the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, there is a Fast Food promo skin at Burger King. However, not everywhere, and thus some fans are willing to pay up to 40 dollars to wear a ‘Burger Town’ T-shirt in multiplayer and Warzone.

What kind of skin is this? It features an operator with a combat helmet, tactical backpack, brown pants, holster, and a ‘Burger Town’ T-shirt. ‘Burger Town’ is a fictional fast-food chain that fans may already know from Verdansk.

If you were worried that the operator skin was a giant burger mascot, we can reassure you. In the past, there have been skins that looked somewhat out of place in the serious setting of Modern Warfare.

However, with Modern Warfare 2, the developers at Infinity Ward want to focus more on realism again. The chances that you will soon be flattened by an opponent in a Godzilla costume in Warzone 2 should, accordingly, have decreased somewhat.

That skins in Call of Duty are not always purely cosmetic regularly causes controversy. Some skins are so dark that they give you an advantage in Warzone.

You can see the operator skin in this promo video released by Burger King in Spain:

Activision is heavily promoting the release

Where is the promo skin available? Activision and Burger King have teamed up to promote the launch of the new entry in the Call of Duty series.

In 40 countries worldwide, Call of Duty fans can receive a promo code with their burger and fries order at Burger King. Although the promo event only takes place in selected countries, the skin itself can be redeemed from anywhere.

Fernando Machado, the Chief Marketing Officer of Activision Blizzard, shared a photo on Twitter showing a Burger King location in Puerto Rico—entirely in “Call of Duty” design.

Surprisingly, the USA is not among the countries where you can obtain the promo code. Given the continuing interest in exclusive items, it didn’t take long for the first codes to be offered for sale on Ebay.

Over a dozen codes have already been sold on the auction platform. Sellers were able to achieve prices between 20 and 40 US dollars. Currently, there are even 51 listings for the skin on Ebay.

Call of Duty promotions with chips, soft drinks, and now Burger King

Are the codes also available here? No, at Burger King in Germany you unfortunately cannot obtain promo codes for the skin. In France, Denmark, Spain, and Switzerland, however, the promotion is available.

If you live near the border or plan a vacation in these countries in the coming days, you can secure the operator skin there with an order at Burger King.

However, we advise against accepting offers on Ebay or other platforms. There is simply no guarantee that you will actually receive the codes in the end.

Wasn’t this done before? To promote Call of Duty, Activision has frequently collaborated with fast-food chains and snack manufacturers. There have been promo codes during the purchase of Doritos chips or the soft drink Mountain Dew.

Usually, these codes could be redeemed for double XP in the game. But weapon emblems or talismans were also available through promotional products.

What do you think of the ‘Burger Town’ skin? Would you spend 40 $ for it? Is it unfair that there are no promo codes at Burger King here? Please leave us a comment!

Hollywood star first falls into Destiny 2, then Call of Duty – fans ask: “When will the first stream on Twitch come?”

The 25-year-old actress Chloë Grace Moretz became known as Hit-Girl in the superhero comedy Kick-Ass. She is now a PC gamer. She seems particularly excited about CoD: Warzone 2.

Who is it about? The actress Chloë Grace Moretz is known for movies like Kick-Ass and Let Me In. She played a killer girl with nunchucks and an ancient vampire who remained a child forever.

In a video for Alienware, Moretz played Overwatch 2 and explained that video games were an opportunity for her as a child to really take down her brothers. We have already reported about her on MeinMMO, when she discovered her love for Destiny 2.

The title image of this post is a screengrab from the video for Alienware (via YouTube).

After Witcher actor Henry Cavill, the “PC Master Race” can look forward to another prominent new member: On October 25, actress Chloë Grace Moretz reached out to “all gamers” on Twitter to ask for advice on a suitable desk (via Twitter).

Actress asks Twitter how to get started as a PC gamer

The next day, Moretz reached out to the Twitter community again. This time she was asking about a PC setup.

For that, the actress wanted to know where to even start, how much she needed to delve into the details, and whether she could gradually adjust her setup.

Quickly, the actress received hundreds of responses. While some wanted to introduce Moretz to the joys of building a PC, others recommended various prebuilds.

Numerous brands offered their services to the actress, including Starforge System, the company of the cool MMO crew on Twitch (via Twitter).

In the end, Moretz chose a custom build from PowerGPU, which also equipped Minecraft YouTuber Dream (via PowerGPU). They apparently got to work right away: Later that same day, Moretz shared a video of her future PC, noting that it’s really happening.

What kind of PC will it be? The video reveals the components that will be installed in the PC for Moretz. The actress’s new PC is reportedly going to feature an i9-12900k and an RTX 3080 in “white”.

You can take a closer look at the individual components here:

Here’s how the PC is received: Numerous comments praise Moretz for her choice and wonder what the actress wants to play on it. The only criticism is directed at the GPU choice – some Twitter users believe the new 4090 should have been included (via Twitter).

Some fans are already taking it a step further: they apparently want to see the actress on Twitch – streamers are the new celebrities anyway (via Twitter).

This is what Moretz plans to do with her new PC: The actress has already revealed that she is a fan of racing sims. She already has a suitable wheel setup (via Twitter).

At the moment, however, she seems particularly excited about the release of Call of Duty Warzone 2 (via Twitter).

In addition to her new PC, Moretz has already received a care package from Logitech. It probably won’t be long before the actress can really get started. Some fans are undoubtedly hoping for gaming streams, but Moretz hasn’t said anything about that yet.

Does the PC for Chloë Grace Moretz make your gaming heart race or do you see room for improvement? Are you also looking forward to Warzone 2? What would you play first on the brand new setup? Feel free to leave us a comment.

In general: caution with pre-builds:

CoD MW2: 3 strong weapons with setups for your entry into multiplayer

It is still too early for a reliable assessment of the weapon meta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. However, MeinMMO has taken a look around and delivers you 3 strong weapons with setups shortly after release – an assault rifle, a submachine gun, and a battle rifle.

A strong weapon is like a good teammate in the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2 – you can’t always rely on it, but it brings advantages.

MeinMMO looked around shortly after the multiplayer release and lists 3 strong weapons for you that you can rock in the first hours. Here you can also find a setup for the starter weapon M4.

Update October 30: Modern Warfare has now been officially accessible to every player for several days, and for this reason, we have created a new setup list according to the current weapon trend:

CoD MW2: The 3 best weapons with setups for the multiplayer shortly after release

If you want to get a little in the mood for the release of CoD MW2, we are embedding the Celebrity Trailer 2022 for you here:

Modern Warfare 2 brings trailer with star power – but ‘Squad Up’ fails with many players

CoD MW2: MP – Vel 46 available from the start

  • CoD MW2: Vel 46 Setup
    • Muzzle: Singuard MKV
    • Barrel: Lach-165 Zulu
    • Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot
    • Stock: Demo RXT Stock

    • Muzzle: Singuard MKV
    • Barrel: Lach-165 Zulu
    • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
    • Stock: CQB Stock
    • Underbarrel: VX Pineapple

The Vel 46 is probably better known to many players as the MP7. You have the submachine gun right upon unlocking your loadouts, and you will likely like the little weapon.

Because even though MP7 is no longer on the label, it is still the MP7 inside – good hip fire, decent damage, low recoil: a strong MP for the entry.

CoD MW2: Assault Rifle – TAQ-56 at Level 19

  • CoD MW2: TAQ-56 Setup
    • Muzzle: Komodo Heavy
    • Barrel: 14.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel
    • Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot
    • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
    • Rear Grip: Demo Cleanshot Grip

    • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
    • Rear Grip: Demo Cleanshot Grip

Here, too, a different name is on a weapon otherwise very well known in the MW universe: this is the SCAR-H. In CoD MW2019, the SCAR never really made it into the meta, in Warzone even less so – magazines are far too small.

In CoD MW2, however, the assault rifle has a good chance of establishing itself a bit – low fire rate meets high damage.

If you haven’t reached Level 19 yet, rely on the starter assault rifle M4. You can hardly go wrong with that.

CoD MW2: Battle Rifle – Lachmann-762 at Level 16

  • CoD MW2: Lachmann-762 Setup
    • Muzzle: Polarfire-S
    • Barrel: Lachmann Nova
    • Optic: SZ SRO-7
    • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
    • Rear Grip: Lachmann TGC-10

    • Rear Grip: Lachmann TGC-10

If you also like to carry a marksman rifle in your pocket, you should opt for the first weapon of the Lachmann platform. Massive damage and high range will make your kill feed glow – if you can handle the single shot and feel like it.

Single-shot styles could be very strong in CoD MW2 overall. However, not enough time has passed since the release for a safe statement. But level up your quickscope sniper.

As soon as there are analyses and more data about the weapons, you will find a list of the best weapons from CoD MW2 on MeinMMO.

Until then, however, we can help each other – write in the comments which weapons you currently see at the top and why.

The right settings are also important. Check it out here: Settings that will make you better in Modern Warfare 2

Twitch streamer discovers photos of herself on her cameraman’s phone – “I have never been so scared”

Streamer Elly “f1elly” was just live at an F1 event when she made a disturbing discovery on her cameraman’s phone. Apparently, he had secretly taken photos of her. Now she has shared more information with her fans.

Who is it about? The streamer f1elly primarily showcases racing sims on her Twitch channel. On average, around 600 people watch her. She has nearly 69,000 followers on the streaming platform (via sullygnome).

f1elly mostly plays racing games like F1 2022:

I don’t know why people watch Formula 1 – But after the trailer for F1 22 I want to go to the racetrack immediately

Streamer makes shocking discovery during a live event

What was the original incident? f1elly streamed live from the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, on the weekend of October 21. However, a scene from the stream shocked and raised speculation among viewers:

The streamer wants to check something on her cameraman’s phone as she was having connection issues. But when she opens the notes app, it quickly becomes clear that something is wrong. f1elly apparently discovered something and asks her cameraman, “What is that, why is that there?”

What happened next? Viewers cannot see what is happening; they can only hear the voices of the streamer and her cameraman. f1elly insists on seeing the phone again, wanting to prevent the cameraman from deleting the content.

Then f1elly starts to cry, turning away from the camera. However, she does not want to end the stream. Instead, she tries to keep her composure and continues to cover the event for the rest of the weekend.

f1elly: “I need to process this first”

What was going on? In a stream on October 27, f1elly clarified to her viewers. She didn’t want to go into too much detail, the streamer said, but she had found photos of herself on her cameraman’s phone.

What kind of photos were they? These photos were explicitly not images from her Instagram account, which the cameraman had initially claimed. f1elly explained that she recognized the outfits in the photos, but not the actual images – apparently, they were taken secretly and without her consent.

Additionally, she discovered screenshots from her streams in which she was either standing up or sitting down.

In tears, f1elly explained that she felt extremely uncomfortable because of the photos:

I saw photos of myself. And I had never felt such fear because I recognized myself, I recognized the outfits, but not [the images]. I recognized myself in my hotel room.

In that moment, however, f1elly did not want to say anything about the images; she was afraid it could trigger some viewers.

Why didn’t she end the stream? f1elly also explained why she chose to stay on air even after discovering the photos. For one, she did not feel safe with her cameraman, he felt like a stranger.

Although she did not feel in immediate danger, f1elly said she wanted to have her chat with her.

On the other hand, a lot of work had gone into planning the weekend; she did not want that to be ruined, as the streamer said:

It just felt unfair, even in that moment of confusion. It did not feel fair that someone could take this weekend away from me, for which I worked so hard. […] That’s why I continued. And we had a lot of fun, right?

f1elly reassured her worried viewers that everything was fine now. The situation is a bit stressful at the moment, she needs to process it all first. However, she never wants to talk about it in the stream again, f1elly said.

Despite the terrible experience, the streamer hopes to remember the weekend positively and hopes to participate in future events with her viewers.

Note: We expect increased moderation effort on this topic, which we currently cannot guarantee. Therefore, comments are closed.

f1elly’s experience is not an isolated incident; other female streamers have also made shocking discoveries:

Fortnite: A corrupt employee of Epic has apparently created codes for “150 €-collector items” and shamelessly sold them

There is a scandal involving a Russian employee, a contractor from Epic, in Fortnite. He is said to have done quite a bit: It is claimed that he created codes for the valuable ‘Minty Pickaxe’ and sold them on the black market. Furthermore, he is alleged to have leaked sensitive data. He also reportedly manipulated the game. Epic has already blocked his access.

Where do the allegations come from? The allegations stem from a Russian-language YouTube video from October 27 (via YouTube): There is said to be an “extremely corrupt Russian employee of Epic Games.”

From a response from Epic Games, it can already be seen that there seems to be some truth to the allegation. Epic Games quickly clarifies that this is a “Contractor”, meaning someone who was contracted for specific tasks.

Epic Games states that they are “actively looking into the allegations”. Meanwhile, they have blocked the man’s access to Epic Games’ systems.

An English-language video on the subject has been taken down by Epic Games via copyright strike on YouTube. It is claimed that the video contained “sensitive personal information” about members of the Fortnite community (via Twitter).

Everything you need to know about the battle royale shooter Fortnite

A Russian is said to have created and sold codes for a collector’s item

What particularly serious thing is the employee said to have done? The most serious accusation is that the Russian employee created codes for the item ‘Minty Pickaxe’ and then offered them for sale on the black market.

The Minty Pickaxe is a digital cosmetic item that could be obtained, among other ways, by purchasing a “FUNKO-POP-Llama figure” in December 2019.

It is a collector’s item, and it can only be obtained in-game in Fortnite by redeeming a code that was supposed to be strictly limited.

Fortnite-Minty-Pickaxe

Because these items are relatively old, they are valuable. Versions of the item are currently being offered on eBay for $150, and reportedly already 14 have been sold.

Furthermore, the employee is said to have committed a whole series of other offenses:

  • He is said to have leaked how much money creators received for their created maps – these are apparently the “sensitive data” that Epic is talking about
  • He supposedly boosted the maps of his own friends in Discovery
  • He is said to have altered existing maps in the hope that they would be removed

It looks like Epic has a lot to clarify here.

Epic is known for setting an example with wrongdoers

Why is it so difficult? It is embarrassing for Epic and also legally relevant if someone exposes sensitive data to the public.

That someone creates valuable collector’s items and then sells them also interferes with the market and contradicts the sense of justice among players.

Epic is known for making an example out of people so that no one gets the idea of emulating wrongdoers who prey on Fortnite. They sued a tester who revealed secret information about upcoming content, and they took strong action against cheaters, even if they were very young:

Destiny 2: Bungie realizes that weapon crafting is a bit silly – Names 4 points that are supposed to improve it

In Destiny 2, weapon crafting is a topic of its own. For many Guardians, this feature simplifies the path to their God roll, but many mechanics behind it cause frustration in the community. However, Bungie has now announced that some changes are meant to finally improve the weapon forge.

What has been announced? On Thursday evening, October 27, the notorious “This Week at Bungie” blog post came with a lot of news regarding changes for Destiny 2.

The most important information in this post was this time changes for weapon crafting. Bungie has analyzed the system behind it and identified some sources of problems that are to be eliminated in the coming months.

These problems include primarily:

  • the difficulty in obtaining desired blueprints
  • hoarding weapons for crafting materials
  • stress with your loadout due to weapons with red borders
  • poor adept weapons in grandmaster raids

Finally blueprints for the weapons you want

Lightfall will make some things better: Bungie has looked closely at the above-mentioned issues that affect weapon crafting. However, these are to be addressed with the release of Lightfall and the following solutions:

  • More sources will exist to obtain resonance alloys,
  • paths will be created so you can decide which weapon you want to tackle as a blueprint first
  • Bungie wants to reduce your compulsion to carry a weapon that disrupts your loadout just to level it or generate currencies
  • finally equip grandmaster weapons from raids with improved perks to make them more attractive
The forge on Mars is very useful

Especially the adept weapons have had a hard time after the introduction of the weapon forge. Legendary raid weapons can be crafted with improved perks after obtaining the blueprints.

Through this system, the hard-to-obtain adept weapons are overlooked, as they are worse than their normal versions. Bungie wants to change this and provide you with adept weapons that can drop randomly with improved perks.

First changes already in December: However, that is not all, as Bungie also wants to make an old raid more attractive. From December 6, you will have the opportunity to obtain blueprints for weapons from the Deep Stone Crypt raid. Many of the weapons from the Europa raid are very useful and especially powerful weapons that should not be missing in any collection.

Clear your vault before Lightfall: However, the most important change is the adjustment of Deep Sight weapons that cannot be crafted. These will no longer spawn with red borders after the release of Lightfall.

With this, Bungie aims to relieve your vault and inventory. So if you still own such weapons, you need to extract their remaining materials, otherwise, they will be lost on February 28, 2023.

What do you think of the upcoming changes from Bungie regarding weapon crafting? Is this a relaxed step in the right direction or do you think more needs to be done? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

An arena battle in Pokémon GO escalates: 75-year-old to serve 3 days in prison

In Pokémon GO, players can earn in-game currency by taking over gyms. Such a fight escalated in 2018 in the USA, in the city of St. Louis. It turned physical. Now one of the perpetrators is facing prison time.

Who is involved? A jury in the USA recommended prison time for a 75-year-old Pokémon GO player. In addition, he and his son are to pay a fine.

A fight over a gym in Pokémon GO, which was supposed to be settled in-game with Pokémon, turned into a real-life altercation.

Three people fought in the water; bystanders had to intervene

Here’s how it happened: In 2018, Robert Matteuzzi (75) and his son Angelo (35) wanted to take over a gym in Kirkwood Park (St. Louis, Missouri) together. But a member of a rival team, known as “Sammy the Bull”, also attempted to seize the gym.

According to the victim’s testimony, a dispute arose over the gym between the trainers, leading Angelo Matteuzzi to strike him. This was reported by St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

In Pokémon GO, a trainer can choose between Team Red, Yellow, or Blue at the beginning. When encountering a differently colored gym held by another team with defenders, they can battle those defenders with their attackers. If they defeat them all, the gym becomes ‘free’, and the attacker can place a Pokémon from their collection as a defender there. The gym then changes to the color of the team and can be attacked again shortly after.
When you have Pokémon in captured gyms, you earn PokéCoins. With the coins, you can buy interesting items in the in-game shop, such as raid passes, incubators, and other content.

The situation at the gym in St. Louis escalated into a bigger scuffle, leading the victim and Angelo Matteuzzi to fall into a roughly 1.5-meter deep lake. One of the bystanders filmed this. The video was shown to the police in court. In the video, you can see the two Matteuzzis repeatedly striking the victim and holding him underwater.

On the audio track of the video, you can hear a person outside shouting “Break it up right now!”, while a younger voice shouts “Dad, don’t interfere!” The fight was then ended by the bystander who separated the parties.

According to witness statements, the victim sustained abrasions on his face, a traumatic eye injury, a broken fingertip, and a detached fingernail.

That was the trial: The defense argued that the two Matteuzzis did not start the fight. Robert testified: He didn’t want to be in the water at all.

When the prosecution reminded him that he jumped into the water to his son, he said: “When you are 71 years old and get hit on the head, you don’t know what you’re doing.”

On the witness stand, the father admitted to holding the victim’s head underwater: “I just wanted to submerge him.”

The son stated in court: “I just wanted to take my Pokémon to the gym.” The fight actually occurred on Father’s Day, which he now knows is not a good day to fight anyone.

Further witnesses testified in court, who were on the victim’s Pokémon team: a police officer and a paramedic. They had stopped the fight at the time.

Another family member of the Matteuzzis testified for the father-son duo and spoke of a previous incident between the two Pokémon teams.

Although the incident occurred in 2018, the sentencing recommended by the jury was only announced on October 26. They recommended three days in prison for Robert and a fine for both Matteuzzis.

The passion for the mobile game knows no bounds for many people. 2 police officers were fired because of their love for Pokémon GO.

Twitch streamer Trymacs reveals what EA demanded from him after he heavily criticized FIFA 23

The German Twitch streamer Trymacs revealed in a conversation with fellow streamer Unge that EA wanted a clarification video from him after he heavily criticized FIFA 23.

Who is Trymacs?

Trymacs says he is on EA’s blacklist

What does Trymacs say in the stream? In the conversation with Unge on October 21, 2022, Trymacs talks about the consequences of his criticism of FIFA and especially the gambling mechanics of Ultimate Team. According to Trymacs, he is now on EA’s “blacklist” and has lost any advertising deals with the publisher.

I lost all of EA’s partners for events […] I am completely on the blacklist. So what I do is a thorn in EA’s side […] when I say: It’s child casino, it’s extreme ripping off and all that stuff.

Trymacs on October 21, 2022 (via Twitch)

“They demanded that I make a video”

In the course of the conversation, Trymacs explains that EA demanded he make a video about the payment aspects of FIFA 23. According to Trymacs, EA wanted him to explain in a video that Ultimate Team is not pay-to-win, but pay-to-progress.

They demanded that I make a video, and that it’s not pay-to-win, but just pay-to-progress. You can also progress with free-to-play and so on. It’s crazy how much that has pissed EA off.

Trymacs on October 21, 2022 (via Twitch)

What does EA say about the situation? We have asked the FIFA developer for a statement but have not yet received a response. As soon as EA comments, we will update this post.

What do you think about the topic? Do you classify Ultimate Team as more pay-to-win or pay-to-progress? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

CoD MW2: Multiplayer reactions after the first player tests – The 3 best and the 3 worst things

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is online and thanks to the regionally adjusted release on consoles, many fans have already been able to play and share their first reactions. MeinMMO shows you 3 positive and 3 negative aspects that players celebrate or reject shortly after the release.

The reboot of the “Modern Warfare” series is entering its second round. CoD MW2 is online and you can play the campaign, the multiplayer mode and the Spec-Ops co-op mode.

The campaign has been online since October 20. You can find reactions to the story here. In this article, we focus on the first reactions to the multiplayer mode.

We list 3 positive and 3 negative aspects that we noticed in the community shortly after the release.

CoD MW2: The Good – Weapons, Nuke, Movement

Modern Warfare 2 already generated a lot of positive vibes before the release. The decision to make the campaign accessible to digital pre-order customers over a week earlier was well received across the community.

Our impression shortly after the release is also a positive one. Many players are satisfied with their first hours, despite some problems. This is evident from the comments under the release trailer (via youtube.com) – “Finally, it’s here.”

The following points are also well received:

  • Weapon camos and their grind

Players celebrate the extensive possibilities when creating their own weapon skins. Each attachment can be individually customized, providing many options for visual experimentation.

NeroI989 writes on reddit: “The good news is true: You can set different skins for different parts of the weapons. The customization options in this game are huge.”

Even when unlocking the skins, there is a lot of goodwill. Players report that it takes about 2 hours for the gold skin of a weapon, whereas in Vanguard it was more like 10. Additionally, many like the appearance of the new gold skins:

  • Nukes in match

At release, “nukes” returned to Modern Warfare. That is the most intense killstreak you can collect in CoD. There were no nukes in the beta and players are glad that they are now in the game.

A nuke is the ultimate gameplay reward in Call of Duty: You collect 30 kills in a row and end the match at the push of a button. Your team wins the match – no matter what the score looks like.

The appearance of the killstreak is also well received:

  • Movement adjustments

The developers made two major updates shortly before the release. One of them even with patch notes. This resulted in some multiplayer adjustments compared to the beta, including tweaking the movement.

There should actually no longer be a slide-cancel. Additionally, the old trick with bunny-hopping was rampant in the beta. Due to the adjustments, such tricks are now even less rewarding, and many celebrate that.

A thread creator on reddit intended to show that he did not like these changes (via reddit.com). However, in the thread, there are many users who are happy about the adjustments.

Among them is a single comment with over 1,200 upvotes (as of October 28, 10:45 AM): “No slide-cancel, no bunny-hopping – there is indeed a God.”

CoD MW2: The Bad – PS advantages, highway map, hardcore mode

Regarding the negative aspects, the discussions are surprisingly moderate. The last years and the long live service of Call of Duty: Warzone have often shown us how intensely players can react to even the smallest problems.

And even though there were server issues at the PC release and some major adjustments are particularly annoying to hardcore players, the reactions mostly remain factual. Here are the 3 biggest points of criticism shortly after the release:

  • Advantages on PlayStation

Although CoD no longer creates exclusive modes for PlayStation, there are still some advantages for PS players with a PS Plus subscription:

  • Battle pass bundle gives 5 more tiers
  • Free cosmetic package every season
  • 2 extra loadouts
  • 25% weapon XP in a PS party
  • An additional 24 hours of 2XP event every month

The discussion surrounding the PS bonuses has been ongoing for several years and is very emotionally charged. Although it does not affect gameplay, frustration can be felt in a thread on reddit (via reddit.com).

  • Map: Santa Sena Border Crossing

Shortly after the first players were allowed on the servers, initial reports emerged about a map that only offers one lane. A 3-lane system is considered the standard model for CoD maps.

It quickly became clear that many players would not be happy on the map. The map consists of a highway section, filled with abandoned vehicles:

https://twitter.com/sndylan/status/1585596206729744384

However, not all voices are negative. There are also comparisons with the popular small map “Shipment” (via reddit.com). The linear design of the highway map could create a similar chaos that many players love.

  • Hardcore mode missing

At launch, Modern Warfare 2 does not offer hardcore modes. However, there are many fans who only play in these modes with especially strict rules.

You have less health, hardly any information on your HUD, and you can eliminate team members – but not at launch, which is not well received (via reddit.com).

Hardcore mode fans will have to wait a little longer. It is still unclear when CoD MW2 will introduce the mode. What is already clear is that hardcore means “Tier 1” in Modern Warfare 2.

By the way, in CoD MW 2019, the hardcore modes were also not available at launch. It took about a week after the release for the extra rules to be introduced.

These were the first player reactions to the multiplayer shortly after the release. We are even more interested in your opinion. Leave a comment with your first impressions – what would you do differently/better, what do you think is really well done?

You should play Pacify with friends

What is the gameplay like in Pacify? The player can search for the supernatural in both single-player mode and in a team.

In multiplayer mode, you can choose whether to play together with your friends or against them. In the haunted house, it’s about searching for clues regarding what is going on and how to appease the supernatural being in the house.

Additionally, the player must find items in the house that will help them uncover the secrets of the haunting. However, the players are not alone in the house and must avoid being seen by the evil.

What do the Steam reviews say about Pacify? The game has a very positive rating with 88% positive user reviews. Out of a total of 25,862 reviews, over 20,000 positive comments have been made by players (as of October 28, 2022).

What do players say about Pacify? Overall, many players praise the multiplayer aspect of the game and say that Pacify should definitely be played with friends. However, it is admitted that it is quite a short game with very limited content. Therefore, the game can be completed relatively quickly.

However, many find the limited scope acceptable given the price and recommend the game mainly as an entertaining pastime in a friends’ circle. Playing alone is generally discouraged.

How much does Pacify cost? Currently, the horror game is in the Halloween Sale and therefore costs on Steam €2.79. The offer is valid until November 1, 2022.

Currently, there is a special Halloween promotion happening on Steam – the so-called “Steam Scream Sale.” During this time, from October 25 at 7 PM to November 1 at 6 PM, selected horror games like Pacify are available at a lower price, and some games feature special Halloween events.

Beware, LoL permanently bans innocent players for buying a new, way too strong item

In League of Legends there is a new item on the test server that you definitely should not buy. The tank item “Heartsteel” can apparently trigger a permanent ban and is currently affecting some players who want to test new items in LoL. Riot is already working on a fix.

This is the situation: In LoL, the Worlds are currently happening. For the best players in the world, it is all or nothing.

But in the game, the “experiment phase” has begun. After the end of Season 12 and before the start of Season 13, Riot Games is experimenting with daring changes on the test server PBE.

But a new feature is apparently going very wrong now.

New tank item provides permanent health points, is way too strong

What kind of item is this?

  • Heartsteel is a new mythical item for 3,200 gold that grants health points and health point regeneration, as well as some skill tempo. The item was previously called “Goliath’s Ascendancy”.
  • The catch of the item: You can execute a hit that is stronger the more maximum health you have yourself. Even crazier: The hit permanently adds health points to your own champion, making you progressively more powerful and tough. Experts call this “infinite scaling”.
  • When the item came to the test server, some said on reddit : The item is too crazy, especially with the permanent health points as a bonus. In ARAM everyone is now playing this, as it is so easy to get permanent health points with it that practically everyone becomes a tank.

Riot employees are amused that you can do such crazy things in the pre-season.

A LoL player has taken the item to the absurd and has skyrocketed to an unbelievably high number of health points, so that he hits extremely hard with the proc of the hit, with numbers beyond comprehension.

It can be assumed that Heartsteel in this form will not make it to the live servers, but will remain a wild experiment in the pre-season.

Players permanently banned due to cheating – apparently due to item

This is now the problem with the item: As a LoL player said on Twitter on October 27, he and teammates were permanently banned after a match on the test server.

They were accused of using a “third-party tool” or a “cheating program”. He cannot explain what is going on.

Other users on reddit say they were suddenly banned for cheating on the PBE – they cannot explain it at all.

One says: He is only playing against bots, you wouldn’t cheat there. He has invested so much in his account, has everything from the shop – that would be a huge loss.

Many other users also respond in the discussion under the thread, stating that they too have been banned.

As common ground emerges gradually, it turns out that all of them had purchased the new item “Heartsteel”.

In the English-speaking gaming press, it has been assumed since this morning that Heartsteel is apparently responsible for the bans (via dotesports).

This is what Riot says: Riot Games has not yet commented on whether the bans on the PBE are really due to Heartsteel.

But they say they have received many reports of such bans “at the same time”, are currently looking into it, and are “working hard on a fix”.

However, there is no date yet for when players will be unbanned,

This information is provided by a player who wrote a support ticket and received a reasonable response. Not everyone can say that: Some users share responses from Riot Games that dismiss their complaints, simply stating that they have looked into it, the ban is justified, and will remain in place.

However, it can be assumed that Riot Games will soon resolve the issue with the permanent PBE bans – we likely won’t see the item much longer.

I wanted to write something good about the new action MMORPG Dekaron G, but I just can’t do it

About a week ago, the new action MMORPG Dekaron G (Android, iOS) launched, and the G stands for global because they wanted to appeal to as many players as possible. Even our MMORPG author Mark Sellner felt drawn in, but he quickly regretted his journey. In this article, he tells you why.

Dekaron G is the remake of the now 18-year-old Dekaron, which was originally called 2Moons. In between, there was a mobile version of the MMORPG called Dekaron M, where the “M” stands for mobile. However, since mobile games generally leave me rather cold, I never tried M myself.

What I have tried more than once is the original Dekaron. The Asian action MMORPG with the outdated graphics was my absolute highlight back then. Right after my first MMORPG, Last Chaos, which I revisited last year and immediately regretted, I played Dekaron almost excessively.

Who writes here? Mark Sellner is an MMORPG author at MeinMMO and has been in the genre for over 15 years. He has spent thousands of hours in various genre representatives. His passion was fueled a long time ago by Dekaron, which is why he looks back now.

Unfortunately, there is no way to track your playtime, but if I claim that I played Dekaron for about 10,000 hours, I would be underestimating it. During my school years, I practically lived in Dekaron until I eventually moved on to other MMORPGs due to a lack of content.

Then, a few weeks ago, the new trailer for Dekaron G unexpectedly appeared and had my full attention. The stroke of genius the developers used was simply to remake the ancient trailer. And exactly the same trailer that I had fallen for back then drew me back in.

You can see the aforementioned trailer here:

Start video
Fantasy MMORPG from Korea gets a reboot after 18 years – but the trailer hints at a controversial feature

Play2Earn and crypto caused frustration, just not for me

The first trailer already hinted at it, and the information that the developers later provided confirmed it in the end. Dekaron G is an MMORPG developed for mobile devices that focuses on Play2Earn and cryptocurrencies. A PC version is supposed to follow, but it should only be a port of the mobile version.

Although many fans were already deterred in advance, I was not bothered at all. I am by no means a fan of Play2Earn, and mobile games usually don’t go beyond any puzzle platformers for me, but despite these bad omens, I was looking forward to Dekaron G.

Because I wanted to return to the world of Dekaron and was convinced that I could end up writing that I played a Play2Earn crypto mobile MMORPG and actually found it pretty good. I wanted to tell something really good about the MMORPG that would shock everyone.

But after over 4 hours in Dekaron G, I come to the sober conclusion that I simply cannot say anything good about the game – as much as I want to. However, and surprisingly, it has nothing to do with the crypto part. Not even the mobile optimization is to blame.

No, the game is a slap in the face for anyone who wanted to have the old Dekaron back.

While the game still downloads in the background, I get to play Memory. It’s more fun than I thought.

Only the names remain the same in a completely new game

Dekaron may still be called Dekaron, but there is hardly anything left of the original game. This quickly becomes apparent as soon as you start Dekaron G. Instead of the 9 classes available in the original, G offers me only 4, and they have even been stripped of their names.

The Azure Knight has become the “1H-Sword” class, and the Incar Magician has been promptly renamed to “Staff”. So, you don’t really select a class anymore, but only a weapon that you want to play with. But at least they are still genderlocked – great.

This is complemented by the Trans-Up system, which seems to be a kind of gacha mechanic, but even after 4 hours in Dekaron G, I still haven’t quite understood it. Here too, the name misled me, as in the old Dekaron, a Trans-Up was simply a skill that you unlocked in the endgame that could briefly transform you.

In Dekaron G, on the other hand, I can change my entire class through the Trans-Ups. I switch gender, appearance, weapons, skills, and more by selecting and unlocking one of the many possible Trans-Ups.

I received one of them through the story of the game while questing. I assume I can buy more, but so far I haven’t been able to see where that actually works. At least this system provides more class variety, albeit in a strange way.

Some Trans-Ups I can select, others I cannot. But they change everything about my class.

Besides that, I barely recognize the areas in the game anymore. Although the cities, monsters, and surrounding landscapes still have the same names, everything is simply different. Even the layout of the zones has changed significantly and has become more compact.

However, this has nothing to do with the Dekaron that I loved. This is also because a highlight of the old MMORPG was the combat system, which is hardly present in Dekaron G and is even somewhat unnecessary.

I don’t want to play any further, but no problem – Dekaron plays itself

Relatively early in my play session, I accidentally pressed a button on the right side of the screen. Suddenly, there was an “Auto” button, and the whole game simply did everything by itself. Fighting, walking, handing in quests, talking to NPCs – everything.

While just minutes before I was annoyed that as a “Magician” aka Staff I had only received 2 skills that could barely be used, spells and abilities were now completely unnecessary.

This also gives me a picture just a few days after release that I last knew from Lost Ark. Bots everywhere. Even in the starting area, numerous characters with identical appearances and generic names cross my path.

This annoys me. I still want to see something good in the game, but G really isn’t making it easy for me.

Such gatherings can be found on every corner.

Dekaron G disappoints, but probably only me

By now, every eager reader should have noticed that I am really not enthusiastic about Dekaron G. Angry, disappointed, and a little sad, I put the phone down after a total of 4 hours.

But the longer I think about it and let the experiences sink in, the more one thing becomes clear to me: Dekaron G is actually not that bad.

Soberly viewed, there will probably hardly be people like me there. People who have played the original for thousands of hours and are disappointed by a remake. I am not the target audience for Dekaron G, and that’s a good thing.

The truth is, those who have no problem with mobile games and Play2Earn and do not know Dekaron actually get a solid game here. The graphics are pretty, the Trans-Up mechanics offer class diversity, and in terms of story, Dekaron G does not have to hide from PC MMORPGs, especially if you like dark fantasy.

And especially in terms of story, there is even an improvement over the original, namely dialogues and pretty animations added. Those did not exist back then and make the overall picture more coherent.

In the screenshot, it doesn’t look as good as in-game, but it looks really good.

So if you’re looking for a free-to-play game that you can play alongside and can also put down without losing progress, Dekaron G isn’t that bad at all.

I just had completely wrong expectations of the MMORPG. It hasn’t turned out to be a nostalgic trip back to the game of my school days. But in the end, that’s probably just my very personal problem with Dekaron G.

What do you think about it? Have you already checked out Dekaron G? Did you play the original back then and wanted to draw a direct comparison? Or does the name mean nothing to you, and Dekaron is a fresh brand for you? How do you feel about Play2Earn and crypto? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.

My whole circle of friends loves Lost Ark, but no one plays it – why is that?

LoL: Here are the currently 5 best champions in each role – For the rank climb

At the end of each season, Riot Games awards rewards for the ranked placement in League of Legends The higher you succeed in the ranking, the better rewards you get. To give you a good chance at the end of season 12, we have listed the 5 champions who have the biggest impact in the last patch and may offer an easier victory.

What do I play on which lane? The division of lanes in League of Legends is clearly determined by the system in ranked games. You have the choice between 3 lanes: Top, Mid, and Bot. While two of the lanes are played by just one player, there are two players on the Bot lane. The 5th player from each team stays in the Jungle and supports all lanes.

In the Top lane, characters are usually played who either have a lot of health or good potential for a 1 vs. 1 fight. In the Mid lane, mages or assassins typically play, who can pick off single enemies or influence the behavior of the opponents with their abilities, such as “Crowd Control (CC).”

The Bot lane is typically played by an “Attack Damage Carry (ADC)” who is characterized by automatic attacks, and the supporter. The supporter aids the ADC in winning the lane. The jungle is the most demanding role of all 5. It’s about not only dominating your opponent but also supporting your 3 lanes.

You can read more tips in the article about Rekkles. The LoL pro gives you 3 tips on how to quickly climb the ranked ladder.

If you can’t get enough of the Worlds 2022, we have the anthem for you here:

These champions help you achieve easier victories

Now let’s look at the individual lanes and their best champions, especially for new players:

First, let’s talk about the Top lane:

  • Garen – This champion is considered a very simple character and still offers good potential for 1-vs-1 fights on the Top lane. Definitely worth recommending for beginners on the Top lane.
  • Sett – As the boss, this champion brings high potential in 1-vs-1 battles. At the same time, his abilities and endurance can provide many options for the team.
  • Nasus – If you just want to kill minions on the Top lane, Nasus is your champion. If he defeats a minion with the Q ability, he permanently gains 3 additional damage on his attack.
  • Mordekaiser – As the only AP champion, Mordekaiser offers a lot of potential to round out the team with his ability strength. With his ultimate ability, you have the opportunity to completely take a single target out of the team fight, giving your team an advantage even if you haven’t played well.
  • Aatrox – The favorite from the Worlds. Aatrox is a champion who, alongside a lot of damage, also brings a very high durability. While it is somewhat more challenging to hit his abilities, he is still a strong tip for the Top lane.

In the Jungle, primarily champions with a lot of health are listed:

  • Rammus – Through his ability, Rammus can face any team that builds on attack strength. Additionally, he brings a lot of CC and can thus play an active role in team fights.
  • Amumu – Amumu is considered one of the characters that bring the most CC. This allows him to have a significant impact on team fights and provides the option to focus on individual targets from time to time.
  • Sejuani – She is also regarded as a CC monster, but takes the focus on individual targets to another level. When played correctly, you can stun an opponent for 3 seconds and take them out of the fight or target individual players.
  • Volibear – If you want more action, Volibear is a good choice. He provides the option to take down towers and thus transforms reckless plays into well-considered ones.
  • Bel’Veth – This champion has gained more attention through the World Championship. With high damage and flexible options, Bel’Veth can play a significant role in battles, destroying both individual enemies and entire teams.
Sejuani, Fury of the North – offers a lot of health and CC

Mages with a lot of damage over time are very effective for the Mid lane:

  • Swain – The champion offers the ability to deal a lot of damage, keep opponents in check, and simultaneously the option to heal and gain health.
  • Malzahar – With your Voidlings, Malzahar’s W ability, you have the opportunity to dominate the lane. With his abilities, Malzahar prefers to stay back in fights, but causes a lot of trouble for all opponents.
  • Heimerdinger – This champion has also remained very strong. With his turrets, you can hold your lane without losing much. With his ultimate ability, Heimerdinger enhances his standard abilities and deals massive damage.
  • Vex – If you want to play a champion that oscillates between CC and assassin, Vex is your option. You can terrify your enemies every few seconds and have an ability to damage either single targets or the entire opposing team.
  • Viktor – As a character that is almost the most frequently played in the World Championship, Viktor offers massive damage against single opponents.

These 5 ADCs deal serious damage to your opponents:

  • Miss Fortune – The strongest ADC by far on our list is the pirate. Miss Fortune brings a lot of damage and doesn’t even have to do much. Her abilities provide high damage and a bit of CC, allowing her to shine.
  • Caitlyn – This champion has one of the longest ranges on the Bot lane, giving you the chance to defeat your opponents from a safe distance. With her ultimate ability, you can additionally eliminate single targets.
  • Tristana – In the beginning, this yordle isn’t particularly strong but gains momentum throughout the game. With each level, her range increases, and through her E ability, she deals massive damage not only to one champion but also to the immediate surroundings.
  • Kai’Sa – If you want to play a champion that focuses heavily on automatic attacks, Kai’Sa is a good choice. Additionally, with the option to enhance your abilities, you can reposition yourself in the middle of a fight using your ultimate ability.
  • Jhin – This is the character who only has a short phase where he deals damage. But it hurts a lot. Every 4th shot from Jhin is a guaranteed critical hit before he has to reload his magazine. This means that while he cannot deal as much in long fights as the other mentioned champions, he excels at quickly taking down individual targets.
Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover – She offers a lot of range and is an answer to many ADCs

The role of the supporter assists the ADC and brings a lot of CC:

  • Amumu – One of the champions that can be played flexibly between several positions. On the Bot lane, he brings a lot of CC and is a thorn in the side of the opposing ADC.
  • Maokai – Like Amumu, Maokai also provides a lot of CC. He can specifically focus on one opponent. With his E ability “Sapling Toss,” he can annoy opponents on the lane without taking damage himself.
  • Soraka – If you prefer to stand behind your teammates and keep them alive, then Soraka is your champion. She can use her abilities to bring her teammates back to life from the most critical situations.
  • Sona – Sona is known for her ability to enhance. Each of her abilities strengthens teammates in the immediate vicinity. In addition, she can both heal and deal damage, making her a strong champion for the Bot lane.
  • Zyra – If the damage of your ADC isn’t enough for you, then Zyra is a good choice. With her abilities, she can hold enemies in place and deal massive damage from a distance. A mage on the Bot lane who brings a lot to help her team.

What else can you do to win games more easily? Many guides and experienced players will give you the same tip. As soon as you enter the game, turn off the chat. It only distracts you during the course of the game. However, if you still want to communicate with your teammates, pings are the quicker and easier alternative.

If you feel more confident with a champion not on the list, then play your favorite champion instead. Playing with an unfamiliar champion slightly reduces your chances of winning. Even the pros have their favorite champions that are regularly improved before important tournaments.

If you get a role that doesn’t suit you and you don’t want to play, leave the game during champion selection. This way, you will lose fewer points for your rank, but not a whole game. A loss affects your point total much more drastically.

So try to be friendly with your team, as you need them to win the game. League of Legends is a team game, and even professional players have to remind themselves of this. They cannot win games alone.

Pokémon GO: Player hat 128 Halloween-Eier ausgebrütet und zeigt, wie viele Shinys und 100 % drin waren

A player in Pokémon GO took the effort to check how good the Halloween event eggs actually are. He shares his results with the community.

What kind of eggs are these? Currently, the big Halloween 2022 event is ongoing in Pokémon GO, bringing some changes. You’ll find costumed Pokémon, special bosses in raids, special research, time-limited research, and also altered 7 km eggs.

In the eggs, an increased chance for certain shinies was advertised. A trainer wanted to find out what it was all about.

Yield from 128 Halloween eggs

What you need to know: The Halloween event 2022 takes place in two parts. The trainer hatched the 128 eggs in the first part of the event.

In the event’s announcement, Niantic wrote:

Furthermore, you might encounter Shiny eF-eM in Pokémon GO for the first time with some luck. There is an increased chance that a Shiny eF-eM hatches from these eggs.

This is the result: Trainer Goombafk writes on reddit: “From 128 eggs, I hatched 0 shinies and 2 100% Pokémon. These are eF-eM and Golbit.” It is then listed how often each Pokémon hatched from the eggs.

  • eF-eM: 32
  • Makabaja: 18
  • Galar-Makabaja: 43
  • Paragoni: 12
  • Golbit: 23

As a comment on the yield, Goombafk writes: “Pretty bad idea, I wouldn’t recommend it. But I will try to continue hatching in the second half and see if my luck changes. Also, the incubators were bought before the boxes got so bad.”

How players reacted: The thread gathered over 190 comments in just under 12 hours. One user writes: “Lesson: Eggs are never worth the time, effort, or (especially) the money.” Many other participants agree with this statement with their upvotes.

Another writes: “Thanks for your post. It’s always interesting to see results. And it confirms what the majority here thinks: Hunting shinies in eggs is pointless.”

Have you also hatched some of the Halloween eggs and were you lucky or unlucky? Feel free to share your experiences with us here in the comments. Maybe you were luckier than the trainer and managed to catch a special shiny.

New MMORPG Reminds of WoW – Shows Us Exclusive First Images from the Alpha

Scars of Honor is a new MMORPG that strongly resembles WoW. It focuses on story, quests, and the battle between two factions. Currently, an alpha is running under an NDA – so nothing can be shown. However, we at MeinMMO have received exclusive images.

What kind of game is this? Scars of Honor will be a classic MMORPG with tab-targeting. At launch, you will have the choice of eight different races, of which four play on the side of the “Sacred Order” (blue), while the other four races belong to the “Domination” (red).

  • You create a character, choosing from 10 different classes and various races like humans, dwarves, orcs, and undead.
  • You will level this character from level 1 to level 50.
  • There are supposed to be dungeons that scale with you already during the leveling process. In the endgame, dungeons and especially raids are expected to play an important role.
  • There will be crafting and player housing.
  • PvP will be available in the open world between the two factions. In addition, arena PvP and guild battles are planned.
  • The community is supposed to have a lot of say in the development.

Scars of Honor is set to be a free-to-play MMORPG funded through a shop. However, the developers emphasize that this will be free of gameplay advantages, such as additional bank or inventory slots, and above all free of pay-to-win.

Where does the game currently stand? Currently, an alpha test is taking place, which can only be attended by those who have financially supported the game. However, this test is under a confidentiality agreement, so no content can be shown.

However, we have exclusively received a series of images in Europe. In these, you can see the starting area of humans, the undead, the crafting interface, and the quest interface. All images are still from an early stage of the game.

Princess uses dark magic and deceives her kingdom

What do we know about the game’s background? In line with the new alpha test, the developers have also shared a video about the lore background of Scars of Honor. The focus is on a princess who became lost in dark magic and was long thought to be missing.

Over time, she transformed into an undead, but received an amulet from the demons that allowed her to deceive the gazes of humans and transform into one of them. Thus, she was proclaimed the rightful ruler.

She sent away all her doubters and best warriors, and then took the city with her undead. The humans, in turn, had to seek a new home.

Here you can watch the lore video:

WoW as a free-to-play MMORPG?

What makes the game interesting? Basically, Scars of Honor promises no revolution in MMORPGs. However, the focus is clearly set on group content and brings back the “old feeling”.

Another important aspect is community input. For instance, players have demanded open PvP, which was not originally their plan. However, now the two factions can also fight in the areas, similar to how it is on PvP servers in WoW.

Additionally, Scars of Honor does not rely on a subscription model, making it interesting for players who want to spend little money.

What do you think about Scars of Honor? Does the basic concept appeal to you, or is it too close to World of Warcraft? Feel free to write it in the comments.

Just recently, a completely new MMORPG was released with Embers Adrift. Whether it is worth it for you, we reveal here:

In 2022, a new PvE MMORPG was released – It is an absolute niche game with a very special appeal

WoW is lagging after Patch 10.0? Here’s how to fix the error

Your World of Warcraft has been stuttering and lagging since Patch 10.0? A simple trick fixes this annoying bug and brings back the enjoyment of the game.

The Patch 10.0 of World of Warcraft is live and has brought many changes to Azeroth. In addition to the new interface and the fresh talent system, there are also some changes in the background. Some of these currently cause WoW to stutter suspiciously and result in frequent “mini-freezes”. We will explain what is causing this and how you can fix it.

Where do the stutters come from? With Patch 10.0, Blizzard apparently made a change to how WoW calculates the shaders. Currently, they are stored on some PCs’ hard drives – rather than, as is usual, in the PC’s RAM or the graphics card. This leads to the small “mini-lags” or stutters, as WoW demands far too much from most hard drives.

How to fix the stuttering in Patch 10: To resolve this issue, a single command in the chat is sufficient. Simply open your chat window and enter the following line:

/console GxAllowCachelessShaderMode 0

Then, you either restart the game completely or enter this command:

/console gxRestart

When you log back into WoW, the game should run significantly smoother than before.

You only need to enter this once and not at every game start. After you have made this setting for the first time, the problem should have disappeared and World of Warcraft should run significantly smoother again.

It is expected that Blizzard will fix this error themselves in the coming weeks, as currently many players are suffering from this issue.

What can you do if it still stutters? In general, it is advisable to first disable the interface addons. Especially addons that consume a lot of resources – such as “All the Things” – can drastically limit performance. Many addons have also not yet been updated and therefore cause error messages that lead to problems.

If it still stutters without addons, try lowering the graphics settings a bit, as with Patch 10.0 the maximum view distance has been increased – if it is set to maximum on your end, it could overwhelm your PC now.

Have you also had problems with World of Warcraft since Patch 10.0? Or is everything running smoothly for you?
