WoW: Twitch streamer explains why it is so important for Horde and Alliance to play together soon

The Twitch streamer Asmongold explains why the decision of World of Warcraft to allow the Alliance and Horde to play together is so important. It’s a huge step, he says.

World of Warcraft is undergoing a major change and well-known streamers are also addressing the topic. Asmongold explains why he finds this decision so significant – and why it is so crucial for the future of World of Warcraft. Because in Azeroth, the Horde and Alliance will soon be able to play side by side.

Who is this? Most WoW players are likely familiar with Asmongold by now. He is considered the largest streamer on Twitch in the World of Warcraft category, although his streams are often viewed controversially. From time to time, he shares his opinions on games like WoW, as well as Final Fantasy and other MMORPGs.

What is it about? In one of his latest videos, Asmongold talks about the biggest change looming in Azeroth: With Patch 9.2.5, players from the Alliance and Horde will be able to join forces to embark on adventures together. They will then be able to visit dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds together. The feature is optional and is primarily intended to create more opportunities. We have explained all the details to you here.

“The best thing Blizzard can do for the Alliance”

What did Asmongold say? Asmongold is extremely positive about this announcement, even though he believes it should have happened years ago.

This is a damn big deal. I’m really excited about it. I’m very happy. […] I think this is the best thing Blizzard could have done for the Alliance.

The reason for this is that the Alliance is the noticeably more inactive faction with fewer players in the endgame area on most realm pools. This problem has been evident for years, as more and more players switched to the Horde due to the stronger racial abilities at the time. This triggered a vicious cycle.

Fewer players from the Alliance found groups, which led them to switch to the Horde to find a group again.

Later he says:

There are many people out there who play Horde because it’s just more convenient. […] If the choice of faction no longer affects gameplay options and no longer restricts who you can play with, then that’s just a big deal. […] It’s the players who have already abolished factions. And the players decided that by simply playing on the same side.

The change will ensure that every player can choose the character and faction that they visually prefer and with which they feel the most identity. Barriers between friends who might be on different sides will also be almost completely removed. Ultimately, it could even help to rebalance the factions – because one can simply play what one wants, without being excluded from the endgame later.

Do you agree with Asmongold? Or do you have a completely different opinion on this?

Battlefield 2042 delays Season 1 to summer, reveals details about the next update

In an announcement, DICE confirmed that Season 1 of Battlefield 2042 has been delayed until summer. Additionally, there were first details about the update that is set to arrive in March. MeinMMO summarizes the most important information for you.

This is the situation in Battlefield 2042: Since the release of Battlefield 2042, the game has had disastrous first months.

This has led to player numbers plummeting recently, and particularly in the Hazard Zone mode, very few players can be found cross-platform.

EA eventually announced some new updates aimed at addressing these issues. However, Battlefield 2042 was supposed to keep players engaged with seasons, battle passes, and events. But there has been virtually no news about this in recent weeks.

There were already speculations that Season 1 and the Battle Pass could be delayed. DICE has now confirmed this. Furthermore, the developers reveal what players can expect in the March update.

Season 1 of Battlefield 2042 Delayed – Reason is the State of the Game

Why was the season delayed? Essentially, it’s obvious, but the developers have now openly confirmed it: According to DICE, they prefer to focus on optimizing the core elements of the game and fixing it.

They emphasize that they want to save the game:

This gives us time to improve the player experience of Battlefield 2042 while also finalizing the development of our season content to ensure everything meets our quality standards.

ea.com

What will the season bring then? There are no exact details on this, but DICE provides insight into the general contents of the seasons. A total of four seasons are supposed to be released within a year. These will include:

  • One new specialist each, totaling four new specialists
  • New locations
  • More new content

What about buyers of the Gold and Ultimate Editions? Anyone who purchased the Year 1 Pass with either of the two editions will receive a special package with various skins and a player card as a consolation for the extra wait.

Here you see the “consolation bundle” and its contents. (via ea.com)

The package is expected to arrive with the next update, which is likely to be released in March. DICE has also provided new information here.

Battlefield 2042: March Update Fixes Annoying Issues and Brings Voice Chat

This is what we know about the March update: In the announcement, DICE outlined some of the features and fixes from the upcoming update.

  • Improvements to the scoreboard
  • Voice chat and player profiles
  • Improved gunplay based on player feedback
  • Expanded tools, modes, and changes for Battlefield Portal

When is the update scheduled to come? So far, it has been stated officially that the patch is expected to arrive in early March.

What comes next? In the announcement, the developers emphasize that they take the criticism and feedback from the community very seriously and focus on improving the most important aspects of the game and addressing the numerous technical shortcomings.

Moreover, DICE has introduced a sort of action plan:

1. We will present specific, larger focuses including our considerations about them and clearly outline where we want to make changes.

2. Next, we will take time and follow your discussions on the topic to ensure that your concerns and suggestions can truly be taken into account.

3. Later, we will inform you again about the topic, this time however with included feedback and our decisions for improvements.

ea.com

Central points include, for example, map design. Here, they particularly want to pay attention to player feedback and improve this.

They promise improvement in the feedback loop and transparency so that players can better understand the decisions made.

Reactions Show: Numerous Players No Longer Believe in a Rescue

This is how players react to the announcements: Under the post of the official Twitter account, numerous reactions can already be read. These are not particularly positive or optimistic, as expected.

For some, the game is now “officially dead” (via Twitter), while many simply vent their disappointment. Still, there are some voices that defend the game and still hope that DICE could save the shooter.

However, looking at the majority of the comments, the mood is clearly against Battlefield 2042.

But what do you think? Do you believe that Battlefield 2042 can still be saved? Or would you consider the rescue attempt to be rather failed?

One of the greatest English talents was removed from FIFA 22

Mason Greenwood is considered one of the greatest English talents in FIFA 22, but also in real life. On Sunday, the Englishman’s girlfriend released a video in which she accused him of physical abuse. Now, Greenwood has been removed from almost all content in FIFA 22.

What is Greenwood accused of? In a video on Instagram, Mason Greenwood’s girlfriend appeared on Sunday with a bleeding wound and several bruises on her face. She wrote in the post: ‘For everyone who wants to know what Mason Greenwood is currently doing to me.’

The video has since been deleted. Greenwood is said to have been arrested by the police on the same day on suspicion of bodily injury and rape, as Der Spiegel reports. He has been suspended from his club Manchester United until further notice. The sponsor Nike has also temporarily ended the collaboration.

How is EA responding to the allegations? EA has also reacted to the allegations concerning FIFA 22. After an initial step, Greenwood is no longer playable in offline modes. He has also been removed from packs and drafts in Ultimate Team.

However, players who own Greenwood can still trade with him.

Mason Greenwood is a strong talent in FIFA, could become expensive in FUT

What are the consequences of the change in FIFA 22? Greenwood is one of the top talents in FIFA 22 in the RM/ST positions. He starts there at the age of 19 with a strength of 79. His potential goes up to 90, which is a good value for a market price of 38 million.

Mason Greenwood FIFA

The removal of Greenwood from offline mode could have a similar effect as the removal of Benjamin Mendy in September 2021. He had been accused of four cases of rape, which led EA to deactivate this player as well.

However, in Ultimate Team, he could still be traded and his price increased because he could not be drawn from new packs.

There were also earlier examples where players were removed from FIFA due to real-life incidents:

There has been no official statement from EA regarding the removal of Greenwood so far.

5 Exotics in Destiny 2 that every Warlock should have for Void 3.0

In Destiny 2, after the introduction of Stasis aspects and fragments, the first Light subclass is also being revamped in the new expansion Witch Queen. YouTuber Ehroar has already presented his top 5 Exotics for Void 3.0, which Void Warlocks should definitely secure.

When Witch Queen launches on February 22, 2022, Void 3.0 will also introduce the first revamped Light subclass, which comes with some really exciting ability updates.

These Void 3.0 aspects will soon be utilized by Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks in Witch Queen:

  • Void Hunters will devilishly disappear into the Void, and the aspect “Stylish Execution” doubles the options of “Silent Assassin”.
  • Sentinel Titans will remain the front line protectors and keep their team safe. Their empowered barricade with the aspect “Overview” will slowly generate a Void overshield that also protects nearby allies.
  • Void Warlocks will become more threatening through the aspects, becoming Void 3.0 vampires that “drain” energy from their opponents in a vampiric manner, weakening them.
destiny2-void 3-0 -warlock

Void will soon be a powerful element: With Void 3.0, Warlocks will receive an aspect for their new Void ability that grants them the melee “Pocket Singularity”.

A seeking, unstable Void energy ball that explodes when near an enemy. Perfect for long-range combat. Properly placed, you can use it to launch enemies into the air and exploit their instability to take them out with a well-placed headshot before they land.

Equally exciting is that Warlocks can soon create a Black Hole from the Void with the aspect “Child of the Old Gods”.

With this ability, the Warlock gets a powerful debuff tool, allowing Voidwalkers to control an area and empower themselves. Use your Rift to summon a black hole that hovers next to you and waits for a target.

It attacks enemies on its own, draining their energy and weakening them. The energy you get back comes in the form of grenade or melee energy (if you use a Healing Rift) or health (if you use a Empowering Rift). When you defeat enemies from whom the aspect drains energy, you get Rift energy back.

Here you can learn more about the new “Void 3.0” abilities:

von Sven Galitzki

Melee Exotics might get really strong: Although nothing can be said about the gameplay yet, it seems that especially the two aspects for the melee and grenade ability of Warlocks have the potential to become really strong in Season 16.

For this reason, YouTuber and content creator Ehroar presents his best Exotics in the latest video, which could be particularly interesting for Void Warlocks in Witch Queen. Here is his ranking.

Who is Ehroar?
The Destiny 2 PvE pro and expert Ehroar is a member of the well-known Redeem Clan, which has already won several World’s First raids in Destiny 2. His passion is completing PvE challenges and speedruns with strong and sometimes really crazy builds. He has been sharing these with the Destiny 2 community for years. His builds regularly inspire players to try out other combos and help them understand the game mechanics better.

Ehroar shows you which Exotics could soon make Void Warlocks even stronger.

Rank 5: Eye of Another World – Headgear

The Exotic marks priority targets for you, making them easier to identify. Above all, it improves the regeneration rate of grenade, melee, and Rift abilities. It has already been a popular choice for Warlocks in Stasis as it is not bound to any kind of Supers (Solar, Arc, or Void).

The benefit for Void 3.0: As the new aspects are heavily geared towards melee and Rift, it could indeed be useful for Void 3.0. It’s also practical that its abilities are purely passive. You equip it and basically don’t have to pay attention to anything else to make full use of the exotic benefit.

eye-of-another-world-destiny2-exotic
Eye of Another World.

Rank 4: Controversial Hold – Arm Protection

The exotic Warlock arm protection grants the wearer resistance to incoming damage while charging their Void grenade with “Chaos Accelerant”, “Feeding the Void”, or “Hand Supernova”. Upon hitting, charged Void grenades also grant grenade energy back. This exotic is indispensable for many Warlocks as a solid Grenade Void build.

The benefit for Void 3.0: The ability of this exotic is also strongly passive and requires no triggers. It’s enough to deal damage with your grenade. So if Void 3.0 can be used for any of the three grenades, you can also look forward to regular grenade ability pushes.

controversial-hold-destiny2-exotic
Controversial Hold.

Rank 3: Cloak of Combat Harmony – Chest Protection

With “Cloak of Combat Harmony”, you load your most powerful ability, the Super, significantly faster. Every kill you get with a weapon matching your elemental focus gives you some Super energy automatically.

The benefit for Void 3.0: For the exotic to boost your better “Void 3.0” abilities, you need a Void weapon and the elemental mod “Source of Power”. Together with the new aspects and fragments, this could create strong synergies that grant you plenty of Super energy.

cloak-of-combat-harmony-destiny2-exotic
Cloak of Combat Harmony

Rank 2: Skull of Dire Ahamkara – Headgear

The exotic offers additional damage resistance during the Super, and Nova Bomb kills additionally grant extra Super energy. The Void exotic has long been the best thing you could equip as a Warlock in Destiny 2. Thanks to it, you could almost get your Super back to 100%.

After a nerf in Season 15, however, its glory days seemed to be over for now. Bungie changed the energy recovery cap to a maximum of 50%. Too little to continue to entice Warlocks.

The benefit for Void 3.0: However, with Void 3.0, this exotic could regain traction. Similar to what happened with Stasis, it could also become possible to build a fast Super build with the aspects and fragments for Void 3.0. You recover 50% of your super ability from the exotic helm, and the rest could be pushed further through the aspects and fragments.

skull-of-dire-ahamakara-destiny2-exotic
Skull of Dire Ahamkara (with ornament).

Rank 1: Nezarec’s Sin – Headgear

This exotic is fully focused on Void. All Void damage kills increase the reload rate of ability energy.

The benefit for Void 3.0: Here, it wouldn’t really matter which aspects and fragments you opt for. This exotic would improve the energy recharge rate of all abilities, including the Super.

nezarecs-sin-destiny2-exotic
Nezarec’s Sin

What else to consider: For grenade abilities, there is also another exotic that could be helpful for Void 3.0 Warlocks: The “Brow of Truth”.

The exotic ensures that weapon kills with a damage type matching the equipped focus grant a damage bonus for grenades as well as grenade energy. Allies nearby also receive significantly increased grenade regeneration for a short time. Depending on what the new aspects and fragments bring, this is another good option for Warlocks.

Lost sectors are the best source for targeted farming: If you still don’t have one of these Exotics in good condition, then we recommend playing the daily rotating Lost Sectors.

The big advantage here is that you can farm for specific Exotics in a more targeted way. The sectors offer a daily rotation between arm, leg, chest, and head gear. You can see which sectors are active either on the overview map or through the bray.tech website.

Alternatively, you can rely on your luck and play a Nightfall on Grandmaster or Heroic. There, the reward is also an Exotic, only you have no control over what type it will be. However, the armor stats here are often better, even if the run costs you more time.

When can the new Void 3.0 aspects and fragments be obtained? With the release of “The Witch Queen”, on February 22, 2022, players will be able to earn the new aspects and fragments and utilize Void 3.0 in the fight against Savathun and her “Radiant Spawn”. Arc and Solar will then follow throughout the year 2022, over the individual seasons, and receive expansions.

Of course, it’s always a personal decision which Exotic players ultimately choose for their playstyle. However, the Void Exotics shown by Ehroar and the combination possibilities expected with Void 3.0 are truly diverse.

Are you excited for Void 3.0? Do you agree that Warlocks have a great chance to benefit significantly from the revamped Void element? Or do you think the other two classes have much more potential? Which Exotics do you think will soon become relevant again? Please share your opinion in the comments.

Lost Ark lets you automatically level up characters and you don’t even have to pay real money

The new MMORPG Lost Ark offers several ways to quickly level up your character. In one of them, you don’t even have to play yourself. We at MeinMMO summarize the bizarre mechanics.

How does automatic leveling work? Once you have a character above level 50, you unlock a quest on your island. You can pick up this task near your main house, and it will lead you back to your island through several detours.

In the end, you have a small robot on the beach of your tropical paradise, where you can commission the automatic leveling. This is available in 5 different options, each with different costs and requirements.

However, the first option of the booster is truly interesting. This takes a character, with no prerequisites, from level 10 to level 50 in just 8 hours.

What are the costs? The costs for the booster amount to 600 gold. This is an in-game currency that is initially quite difficult to farm, but later becomes much more common.

So it offers experienced players a way to level new characters faster – without investing real money. Another option to achieve the same results faster would be the Powerpass, which is purchasable with real money.

In addition to the gold, you also need to bring 8 hours of your time during which you can absurdly continue to play the character. After these 8 hours, you are then teleported to a city, receive gear by mail, and have completed the entire story up to that point.

What are the other 4 options? After you have completed the first boost, you are level 50 and have a gear score of 302. However, to start the next boost, you need a GS of 460. You cannot simply skip everything.

The remaining boosters will skip the story of an entire continent. However, the requirements and costs steadily increase, while the 8 hours remain the same. For the final boost, the story of the continent Punika, you need a GS of 1,100 and a whopping 2,400 gold.

This video from streamer Saintone describes the mechanics in detail:

“This is just ridiculously efficient”

Is the boost worth it? The first variant of the booster, which takes you from level 10 to 50, is definitely worth it. 600 gold can be collected relatively quickly in endgame, and you simply skip a lot of content.

Streamer and Lost Ark expert Saintone confirms in his video that this boost is extremely worthwhile. He says: “600 gold is way too little for this. This is just ridiculously efficient. Level 50 in 8 hours, that’s faster than I would play myself. Just incredibly efficient.”

However, the situation is different for the other variants. Especially with the last stage of the booster, which practically skips the Punika continent, Saintone considers the boost to be more than unnecessary.

He repeatedly emphasizes that it would only take about 2 hours to complete the skippable content if played manually. Waiting 8 hours for that and also paying 2,400 gold is, in his eyes, utterly unnecessary.

The streamer also considers the remaining three levels of the booster to be more or less useless or at least too expensive. In the comments of the video, a fan confirms: “It’s just not worth skipping the entire way to GS 1,302 unless you have the gold to spare and want to get rid of it. But skipping the main story up to level 50 is brilliant.”

Will this be available at launch for us? According to the community manager in the Lost Ark Discord, the boost will be available to us right at launch (via imgur.com). The system has also been officially confirmed in the patch notes for our release. So we can look forward to the feature that automatically levels our second characters.

What do you think of the booster without real money? Would you use it or are you against being able to simply buy a leveled-up character? Do you see skipping the entire story as good content? Or are you more bothered by the gear that the game gives you afterward? Let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.

Everything you need to know about Lost Ark’s endgame is available for you in the video as well.

Pokémon GO: How did you find the Community Day Classic and how often should it take place?

The only difference between the C-Day Classic and a normal Community Day was that the Classic event started at 2:00 PM and thus only lasted for 3 hours.

Which monster would you like for a next Community Day Classic? And what did you particularly like about the last C-Day Classic and what did you not like at all? Please share your opinion and experience here on MeinMMO in the comments.

In the coming weeks, a lot is happening in Pokémon GO. We have taken a look at which events are expected in February and which are particularly worth it.

In Pokémon GO recently the first Community Day Classic took place, featuring Bulbasaur. Now we at MeinMMO want to know from you how you found this event and how often the C-Day Classic should take place according to you.

What kind of event is it? Every month, a special event takes place in Pokémon GO for the trainers, focusing on a specific Pokémon: the Community Day. In January 2022, there was for the first time a second one of these events, the so-called Community Day Classic with Bulbasaur.

In the context of the Season of Origins, this event should, according to Niantic, reflect back on the roots of Community Days (via pokemongolive.com).

What did you think of the C-Day Classic and how often should it take place?

Now that the first “C-Day Classic” event is over, many trainers are wondering whether there will be more such events in Pokémon GO (via reddit.com). The reason for this is the hope for Pokémon from the first Community Days like Larvitar. Additionally, some trainers are pleased that a way has been found to prevent the C-Days from constantly repeating for longtime players.

Since there is still no concrete information from Niantic regarding whether there will be further Community Day Classics and if so, how often they will take place, we would like to know your opinion on this topic.

Feel free to write to us in the comments about how you found the first Community Day Classic. And be sure to participate in our following survey and let us know how often similar “C-Day Classic” events should take place in the future?

This was the first Community Day Classic with Bulbasaur

As Niantic stated in their event announcement, they want to reflect back on the roots of C-Days during the Community Day Classic. One of the first monsters in Community Days was Bulbasaur, which is why it is no surprise that the Community Day Classic highlighted it first. Thus, the first “C-Day Classic” event in Pokémon GO took place on January 22, 2022, featuring Bulbasaur.

As you are used to from the normal Community Days, you could find Bulbasaur at almost every corner during the event. Additionally, you could enjoy one or the other bonus.

So, the C-Day Classic gave you an XP bonus when catching, longer duration for incense and lures, as well as the event attack Flora Statue if you evolved Bulbasaur into Venasaur within 2 hours after the event. Of course, you could also purchase the usual ticket with a special research.

The only difference between the C-Day Classic and a normal Community Day was that the Classic event started at 2:00 PM and thus only lasted for 3 hours.

Which monster would you like for a next Community Day Classic? And what did you particularly like about the last C-Day Classic and what did you not like at all? Please share your opinion and experience here on MeinMMO in the comments.

Former large Twitch streamer takes 450,000 € from fans: “I could return the money, but I won’t”

The former big Twitch streamer Paul “Ice Poseidon” Denino is said to have lured his fans into a crypto scam. He allegedly tricked them out of over €450,000 for a “long-term crypto plan.” Now all information has been made public, but he still refuses to return the money.

This led to the current situation

  • Ice Poseidon was once one of the biggest streamers on Twitch and was even recruited for the platform Mixer. He is known for many escapades and became famous through IRL streams and his stalkers, whom he made friends with.
  • Twitch banned Ice Poseidon due to a bomb prank on a plane. He was not allowed to stream himself, nor appear in another Twitch stream.
  • Until a few months ago, he was active on YouTube. Now the former streamer finances himself differently and calls himself a crypto trader.
  • Amidst the crypto hype, the 27-year-old from Florida invited his fans to a Telegram group, promising them the dream of big money – which at least came true for him.

IcePoseidon rips off fans: with cheap Doge Coin copy

What happened? The YouTuber Coffeezilla uploaded a new video on his channel. In it, he portrays Ice Poseidon as a criminal who is said to have exploited his fans for big money. These are serious accusations that Coffeezilla substantiates and even discusses with the former streamer Ice Poseidon.

Around €450,000 is said to have been taken by Ice from his fans in just under 2 weeks. Thanks to the crypto hype, it was relatively easy in recent months to convince people of what seemed to be the next big thing. After all, Shib and Doge Coin have also risen by several tens of thousands of percent.

Of course, many think they could get rich with one of the countless new dog currencies. Ice Poseidon apparently capitalized on this thought. Although his currency is called “CxCoin,” its entire design is based on the cute red-faced dog (via cxcoin.net).

This is how he got caught: In a talk with the podcast channel WoodysGamertag, which includes the former YouTuber FPS-Russia, Ice Poseidon mentioned that he realized the following (via youtube.com). Hoping for others to invest in cryptocurrencies is a game for losers; only those who can convince others to buy theirs win. He proclaimed he would create a currency, wait until enough people had invested, and then flee with the money.

Ice Poseidon later claims that it was just a joke. However, he seems to ignore the fact that he made his announcement a reality. This was about six months ago. YouTuber Coffeezilla confronted the former streamer about his actions in a call.

In this call, Coffeezilla demanded that the streamer return the money. However, Ice Poseidon has no intention of doing so and responds:

Wait, I need to see where I’m at right now – I’m not going to do that.

Ice Poseidon via YouTube

The former streamer shows no remorse at all. In the call, it quickly becomes clear that he does not see himself as the villain. He shifts some of the blame onto the currency buyers. Ice Poseidon claims that the users are to blame for trusting him.

This is how Ice Poseidon ultimately reacts

After the call with Coffeezilla, the YouTuber receives a message: Ice Poseidon claims he would refund the buyers of his currency at least around €150,000. To date, however, the streamer has only refunded about €40,000 – not nearly as much as he keeps for himself (via twitter.com).

What’s next? Coffeezilla has encouraged all affected by the scam to file a complaint with the “Internet Crime Complaint Center” of the FBI. Even though this has resulted in little real consequence in previous influencer scams like the “SaveTheKids” scam of the FaZe Clan, it should address the volume of complaints.

WoW: Horde and Alliance play together – What do you think about it?

Soon, elves, orcs, humans, and trolls will play together in World of Warcraft. But do you even want that? Or is it a taboo break?

For players of World of Warcraft, exciting times have just begun. Not only has the spam from boosting offers been drastically reduced, but in the future, horde and alliance characters will be able to embark on adventures together and form groups. Cross-faction play is coming.

This is a feature that many in the community have been requesting for years – but what do you think, the readers of MeinMMO? We want to know how you feel about this feature.

What will be possible? Players from the alliance and horde will be able to join groups together and communicate in group chat. They can then visit dungeons, complete raids, or explore rated PvP battlegrounds together.

This is possible if players either have a Battle.net or Real-ID friendship, belong to a cross-faction community, or apply to join a group through the dungeon browser that accommodates both factions.

WoW Orc Male Night Elf Female Kiss red blue background cross faction play titel title 1280x720
The future top duo of healer and tank?

What will not be possible? The fundamental hostility status in the open world does not change. If two players from different factions are engaged in war mode and in a group, they can still attack each other. Cooperation – such as granting buffs or healing – is only possible within organized actions like dungeons.

In random groups, such as through the random dungeon tool, you will always end up only with players from your own faction in a group. You will never cooperate randomly with the other side.

But now let’s talk about you! What do you think of the announcement of this feature? Do you think it’s a good idea? Or does it only lead WoW into new problems?

When will the feature come? Cross-faction play is being tested on the PTR of patch 9.2.5, which will likely only start once patch 9.2 is released, which still has no release date. So, it will take at least 3 months until the feature is released, probably even longer.

If you want to elaborate further on your opinion, please feel free to leave a comment and explain in more detail how you feel about this feature.

In the near future, we can first look forward to patch 9.2: The End of Eternity …

LoL shows new champ – This is what the “evil supporter” Renata Glasc can do

Riot Games has introduced the next champ for League of Legends. Renata Glasc, the “Chem-Baroness”, is supposed to cause confusion among your opponents by letting them go against each other.

When will Renata Glasc be released? Renata Glasc is expected to join League of Legends with Patch 12.4. The patch is currently expected to be released in mid-February.

However, it is already known what kind of champ you can expect as a successor to Zeri. Riot has introduced Renata Glasc with an extensive backstory and her abilities.

Renata Glasc uses Friendly Fire to eliminate confused opponents

Here are Renata’s abilities: A trailer has been released for Renata Glasc that should give you an impression of her skills:

Here you can find all her abilities:

  • Passive – Leverage
    • Renata’s basic attacks mark enemies and deal bonus damage. If allies attack marked enemies, they receive the additional damage, but the mark disappears.
  • Q – Handshake
    • Renata’s robotic arm fires a projectile at her enemy. Upon reactivation, Renata can throw the opponent in the target direction, where enemies are hit and stunned if the enemy is a champion.
  • W – Bailout
    • Renata increases the attack and movement speed of an allied champ or herself. If your ally defeats an enemy during this time, the buff duration is reset. If your ally is defeated during the buff, their health is restored, but they start to burn to death over 3 seconds. If you defeat an enemy champ during this time, the burning stops.
  • E – Loyalty Program
    • Renata shoots Chemtech rockets that protect team members while simultaneously damaging and slowing down enemies.
  • R – Hostile Takeover
    • With the R ability, Renata fires a chemical cloud that puts enemies into “Berserk” mode. Their attack speed is increased, and they attack everything in the vicinity. In the following order: First, they attack their own allies, then neutral units, then Renata Glasc’s team, and finally Renata herself.

Especially with “Hostile Takeover”, Renata can cause a lot of confusion and damage among enemies who do not expect their allies to suddenly turn against them.

Character has a dark backstory

Who is Renata Glasc in the story? Earlier this year, Riot Games hinted at several champs for LoL, including a “dark support character” who is supposed to act as a malicious enchanter (via LeagueofLegends.com). She is meant to represent a counter-design to the normally more cheerful characters in the support area, a real “boss”, it was said back then.

This new figure turns out to be Renata Glasc. She is described as a character with a dark backstory: Her brilliant parents ran a small alchemy family business, caring for the poor and sick. Renata herself was driven more by a sense of business.

Lol Renata Glasc
The in-game model of Renata Glasc.

But the charity of her parents was repaid with a deadly attack from greedy clan leaders, which took away Renata’s parents and her legacy.

Renata, who had little regard for altruism, then turned to the chemistry business and built an empire that secretly thrived.

She presented herself as a charitable figure, but at the same time pursued the plan to supply all the residents of the area with materials from her Glasc works. What the customers did not know: that all products contained a secret compartment that could release a gas that would break their will and put them in the service of Renata Glasc.

What do you think of the new champion? Do you like Renata Glasc?

Meanwhile, there has been a stir in LoL regarding the term “Arcane”: An artist suddenly faced accusations from Riot Games for copyright infringement. However, it was not about League of Legends at all.

The 3 best sniper rifles in CoD Warzone and which one you should use

Call of Duty: Warzone has already amassed a respectable amount of sniper rifles, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. MeinMMO shows you the best snipers for all situations – short, medium, and long range.

The sniper rifles in Call of Duty: Warzone have one thing in common: They take down enemies with just one headshot. It’s clear that many players want to use this special property to their advantage.

To give you an overview of which sniper rifle is worth it for your playstyle, here are the 3 best sniper rifles categorized by usage, complete with verified setups from experts:

  • Aggressive Sniper: Kar98k from CoD MW
  • Medium Range: SP-R 208
  • Long Range: ZRG 20mm

Aggressive Sniper Rifle

How do I use aggressive sniper rifles? These are the rifles for quick-scoping – you briefly zoom in, take a precise shot, and leave the scope again. Ideally, you land a headshot and take down your enemy outright.

When aggressive sniping, you utilize the strength of individual hits to suppress enemies and get closer to them. Once you’re close enough, switch to your secondary weapon with less range and finish them off with automatic fire.

Key Features Aggressive Distance

  • High scope speed
  • Moderate resistance to flinching from incoming hits (Flinch)
  • Aim stability is negligible
  • Bullet speed is not as important

Which weapon should I use? The Kar 98k from CoD MW continues to dominate the weapon meta for aggressive sniper rifles. The weapon simply has everything you need for this:

  • Clear scope
  • High scope speed
  • Flinch is okay
  • As a bonus, there’s good aim stability

However, the Swiss K31 from Cold War is not far behind. Find out here why controller players should prefer the Kar 98k.

The downside of the Kar 98k from CoD MW: With a scope, you have to reload the bullets individually.

What does a strong setup look like? Compared to previous setups of the Kar from CoD MW, you should now focus on the perk “Focus”. This reduces flinching significantly when you take a hit. The other attachments provide higher scope speed, more range, and stability.

  • Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
  • Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″
  • Laser: Tactical Laser
  • Scope: Sniper Scope
  • Perk: Focus
Attachments in English
  • Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
  • Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″
  • Laser: Tac Laser
  • Scope: Sniper Scope
  • Perk: Focus

Alternative aggressive Sniper

  • Kar 98k from Vanguard – For Vanguard Royale
  • Swiss K31 – Better for PC players

Sniper for Medium Distances

How do I use sniper rifles at medium distance? At medium range, you are more likely to be in the second frontline, supporting your more aggressive teammates. You’ll stay in the scope longer, but you’re not a stationary hard-scoping sniper.

It is important to have strong resistance to flinching when you take incoming hits (Flinch). Enemies will fire at you more often. This resistance has become significantly more important since the release of Warzone: Pacific because flinching has become stronger.

Key Features Medium Distance

  • Moderate scope speed
  • Strong resistance to flinching from incoming hits (Flinch)
  • Moderate aim stability
  • Good bullet speed is a bonus

Which weapon should I use? The SP-R 208 from CoD MW currently offers the greatest resistance to flinching when enemies shoot at you. Also, it barely shakes when you move while aiming and has decent chest damage.

The scope speed could be better. However, overall, the SP-R provides the safest feeling when you support your squad with precise shots.

von Maik Schneider

What does a strong setup look like? Especially important for the SP-R is the perk “Focus”. This gives you unmatched flinching resistance in the current Warzone, which is a major advantage for this playstyle.

  • Barrel: SP-R 26″
  • Laser: Tactical Laser
  • Scope: Variable Zoom Scope
  • Magazine: .300 Norma 5-R Mag
  • Perk: Focus

Alternative Sniper for Medium Distances

  • Kar 98k from Vanguard – For Vanguard Royale

Long Range Sniper

How do I use sniper rifles at long distance? With the large sniper rifles, you are the nasty player who delivers hard hits over long distances. It’s often irrelevant how long you take to zoom in. What matters is that you can aim well with your large scopes.

Moreover, high bullet speeds are essential so that the bullets hit where you want them to.

Key Features Long Distance

  • Slow scope speed
  • Low resistance to flinching from incoming hits (Flinch)
  • High aim stability
  • High bullet speed

Which weapon should I use? The ZRG 20mm from Cold War offers you the best stats in the game for long distances.

In terms of bullet speed, this weapon is among the best, and the re-centering is outstanding – the weapon returns to the point you aimed at quickly after a shot. Additionally, the aim stability is very pleasant, allowing you to keep your crosshair easily on a point.

What does a strong setup look like? Range, aim stability, and a larger magazine – everything that helps you take down your enemies at long distances.

  • Muzzle: Agency Moderator
  • Barrel: 43.9″ Combat Recon
  • Underbarrel: Bipod
  • Magazine: 5 Rnd
  • Grip: Serpent Wrap

Alternative Sniper for Long Distances

  • Three-Line Rifle – For Vanguard Royale
  • HDR from CoD MW

Many players enjoy using sniper rifles in Warzone. The power to eliminate an enemy with just one hit can feel very rewarding.

However, be mindful of how you use sniper rifles. If you like to play aggressively and want that one-shot option in your loadout, choose a fast sniper rifle.

If you prefer to support your squad from the second or third row, then grab one of the more stable options.

Fortnite: All Haven Masks and how to get their feather

Fortnite has sent you an island dweller in Chapter 3 Season 1 in the Battle Pass. Her name is Haven and she has many masks that players can now unlock. We at MeinMMO show you all the tasks for masks as well as locations where you can get the important feathers.

Which skin is meant? Haven is her name and she is an inhabitant of the island. Based on her appearance, she seems like a hunter and gatherer. She has a large collection of ancient masks that you can earn since Patch 19.20.

Important information about the new masks and feathers

How do I get masks and which ones are there? In order to get masks, you must first meet a requirement. This includes simple tasks like fishing for sea creatures or gathering food. We will list these for you for each mask.

Name of the maskTask
All-seeing MaskCan be earned in the Battle Pass
Revived CatCatch a Shield Fish, Chilli Fish, and a Jellyfish
Midnight CatCatch fish (20 pieces)

Primordial BirdComplete daily tasks (20 pieces)
Hunter of Fire Obtain Haven masks (5 pieces)
Hunter of SnowObtain Haven masks (15 pieces)
Hunter of the Solar EclipseObtain Haven masks (25 pieces)
This is the list of all masks and tasks (as of 01.02.22)

If you have completed the tasks, you only need the feathers that you receive during your matches. Each mask has three tiers that can be purchased. You will need to spend 10, 15, and 20 feathers. Therefore, your feather investment increases with each ascending tier.

What are feathers? Feathers are similar to the rainbow ink from Season 8. They are needed to donate 30 masks to your Haven. They can be used to unlock new masks and color variations for the masks.

With this large selection, you have the opportunity to create your personal huntress.

Where do I find the feathers? To find feathers, all you need to do is open as many chests as possible. Each opened chest gives you a chance to be rewarded with feathers. We have created a map of Fortnite.gg for you, with all the possible chest locations.

These are the locations of all the chests (fortnite.gg)

How much does a mask cost? Each mask has three variants that become more expensive. So if you pay 10 feathers for the first variant of the mask, your investment increases to 15 feathers for the second variant, until you want to collect the last of your kind, which costs 20 feathers.

If you want the third variant of each mask, you must first complete the previous mask tasks of your kind. All tasks build on each other.

What do you think of the new individual skin? Are you a fan of the mysterious Haven? If so, let us know which mask you like best.

Dying Light 2: Cut or Uncut – Which version are you playing?

The new survival game Dying Light 2 is released in Germany as a cut version. Nevertheless, the uncensored version is available for purchase – just not in this country. However, it remains playable. Which version will you choose?

Update: If you purchased the version via Steam, Epic, or directly from Techland, you received the uncensored version of Dying Light 2.

How do the versions differ? In Dying Light 2, you play as a survivor of the zombie apocalypse. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, making survival tough – and bloody to boot.

Since the scenes shown can sometimes be very graphic, Dying Light 2 is cut in Germany. Particularly brutal violence is removed, but at its core, there are only 2 significant differences:

  • Human opponents cannot be decapitated or dismembered.
  • Neutral NPCs cannot be killed.

Ultimately, how big the difference is and how much it affects your gameplay experience is for you to decide. But we want to know from you: do you play the cut or uncensored version?

Cut vs. Uncut – A matter of friends

What you need to pay attention to: The two versions do not differ greatly from each other, but there is a catch. Dying Light 2 is playable in co-op, but only with the same version.

If you buy the cut version and want to play with friends who are playing Dying Light 2 uncensored, it will not work. The “international” version is not compatible with the “German” version. You need to agree on one version with your friends.

We have already summarized on MeinMMO what you need to consider: Don’t buy the wrong Dying Light 2: What co-op players should pay attention to

Activating via Steam and the like should not be a problem in Germany. You are allowed to own the version, but it is not available for purchase in German stores. You may need to acquire uncensored versions through Austria or Switzerland, if necessary.

When will Dying Light 2 be released? The survival game will be playable from February 4, 2022, on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. A Switch version will be released within the next 6 months, though currently without a specific date.

How it plays and how significant the differences to the cut version are can be read in our preview by MeinMMO author Tarek.

Plans are also underway for the time after the release. Dying Light 2 will bring DLCs and content to support the game for years to come. New content is expected at least until 2027. You can find more about this in the roadmap:

LoL: Supermarket recruits team for the 4th league – Provides them with a gaming house and scholarship

The supermarket chain Kaufland has established its own esports team for League of Legends. The team “Kaufland Hangry Knights” will compete in the 4th German league, but is expected to play in the first league in the future. There is a lot of support for the players.

What kind of team is this?

  • In November 2021, Kaufland sought LoL players who want to compete for their esports team.
  • Out of over 500 applicants, they have now selected five players who will compete for Kaufland Hangry Knights.
  • They will play in the Prime League Division 4, which is similar to the fourth German-speaking league.
  • However, in the long run, the team aims to play in the first league. There they would meet Eintracht Spandau, the new team of HandOfBlood. To make this happen, there is a lot of support for the players.

Own gaming house and scholarship for the players

How does Kaufland support the team? The new esports team is set to move into its own team house in Berlin in the coming weeks. From there, the players will participate in tournaments, leagues, and livestreams.

Presences on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook are also planned.

Accommodation in the house is free for the players. They also receive a fixed monthly salary through the “E-Sports scholarship,” as Kaufland announced in a press release.

Who will compete for the team in the future? The players of Kaufland Hangry Knights are:

  • Benjamin “Crowno” Micic – Toplane
  • Jan “Sevenarmy” Fragstein – Jungler
  • Paul “Paul227” Gurisch – Midlane
  • Yannick “Missclick” Hiller – Botlane
  • Simon “Flay” Menne – Support

Four of them have already played in the second division of the Prime League and thus have the potential to compete in the first league in the future as well. After all, that is the goal of Kaufland Hangry Knights. Paul227 has only played in the third league so far according to our information. However, all players are tournament-experienced.

Kaufland is by no means the first major brand in LoL esports

Who else is represented in esports? Kaufland has offered an interesting arrangement to the players with the gaming house and the scholarship, but is by no means the only major brand in the various German leagues in LoL:

  • In the first league, there is the team E WIE EINFACH E-SPORTS, which is supported by the power supplier
  • In the second league, there is the event agency Cowana as a team sponsor
  • In both leagues, there are football teams like Schalke 04, Eintracht Frankfurt, or Hertha BSC, which have also not started out as traditional esports organizations

One of the most well-known German supermarkets also became a new sponsor for a German team from the LEC in 2021:

Warframe brings new expansion with content that excites fans – “I am really looking forward to it”

Digital Extremes revealed more information in a live stream about the future of Warframe in 2022. They also announced a new expansion. It is called Angels of the Zariman. MeinMMO summarizes all known information for you.

What kind of expansion is this? According to the developers, Angels of the Zariman is supposed to connect to the last expansion “The New War”.

This could convince players and is reportedly, according to Digital Extremes, the largest story update in Warframe.

  • It brought a story chapter that could only be played solo.
  • You controlled your Tenno, but also other characters.
  • Multiple storylines were completed.
  • Among other things, there was a new Warframe with the Caliban collection.

In a previous outlook for 2022, we speculate that a sort of Warframe 2.0 may appear.

But until then, the developers already have the next content with Angels of the Zariman. We will tell you everything that is known so far.

You can also watch the Dev stream here:

Warframe expansion brings new content – Connects to The New War, pleasing players

This is what we know about the expansion: According to the developers, the nature of the content is supposed to connect to The New War. How exactly, they did not reveal.

However, some things have already been confirmed:

  • At least two new game modes.
  • A new quest.
  • A new Warframe.
  • Some quality-of-life improvements.

There are no specific details on this yet.

Here is the first image of Angels of the Zuriman. (via Twitter)

When will the expansion be released? We still don’t have exact dates for the release of the next expansion. However, we do know with which patch Angels of the Zariman is supposed to come. The expansion will be part of Update 31.5.

When will there be new information? In February, there is supposed to be another Dev stream, where the content will be presented.

This is how players are reacting: One aspect, in particular, is positively received by fans. The developers’ statement that they want to connect to The New War is well received.

In a reddit post, players are already discussing possible content and what they would like to see. User ZyfraWF speculates: “I am very excited […] about what it means to be able to play with the Operator. Will there be new game modes with the Operator? What kind of missions would you like to see there?”

Operator-specific events are a common wish from the community. However, not everyone agrees that a new Warframe is needed.

Some players are now feeling that the number of game modes is becoming too large. Vaporninja wrote on Twitter about this:

I implore you, please do not add more game modes. We do not want more game modes that will be abandoned a month later, but we want you to build upon existing game modes. Support the content that already exists instead of constantly evolving it.

So there are also players who are not enthusiastic about new content in every respect. Some are even saying that the developers should first fix the existing Warframes before adding new ones.

But how do you see it? Are you excited about the new content? Or do you agree with some of the more critical players and would prefer some optimization of the existing content first?

Important times for the Fortnite server downtimes – when and for how long?

Downtime in the morning: The servers will be shut down at 10:00 AM our time to roll out update 19.20. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes beforehand, so you won’t be able to search for games after 9:30 AM.

When can you play again? The servers will be offline for a while and playing will not be possible. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This is what updates from recent weeks have shown.

Of course, such work can always lead to technical problems and delays. If there are complications, we will report on them.

When will the patch notes be released? Normally, Epic Games releases little to no information about the update changes in Battle Royale mode. These are often found by the community itself.

However, if there are significant changes, we will also update this article for you.

What new content does update 19.20 bring?

What’s new for the Battle Royale mode? There are no concrete statements from the developers yet, but leaks and data miners have often proven to be reliable sources in the past. With these changes, you might expect:

WoW players celebrate new ban: “I can see the trade channel again!”

For a few hours now, players in World of Warcraft have their trade channel back after Blizzard banned the spam from cross-realm boosting communities. Some can hardly believe their luck – thanks to the boosting change.

The era of negative news surrounding World of Warcraft seems to be over for now. After a rumor was confirmed last night, boosting communities in World of Warcraft were banned with a new regulation. This had a rather interesting effect almost immediately:

The trade channels in World of Warcraft are readable again, the spam has come to an end.

For years, boosters spammed the trade channels

What was the state before? Depending on the size of the realm, the trade chat in World of Warcraft has been many things over the years, but not a real place for trading. Especially, boosting communities offered their services here, such as dungeon or raid carries. Since these groups operated cross-server, they had secondary characters on numerous realms, advertising their offers at intervals of a few seconds.

The chat was a flood of messages, actual trade was impossible.

What has changed now? Almost “overnight,” the massive advertising of boosting offers has been banned, particularly on foreign realms. This has resulted in the trade channel on numerous realms being used again for its original purpose – trading or simply conversing in a chat spanning several cities.

This is how the community reacts: Overall, the change is well received by many players – no matter how they felt about boosting. The fact that the trade chat is readable again brings a lot of enthusiasm, as numerous players share in the Subreddit of World of Warcraft.

A screenshot from user PUSCIFER shows the astonished and happy players on his realm who can suddenly write to each other again. It received impressive 2,500 upvotes, along with numerous comments.

Especially nice is this little clip, which essentially shows a “before-and-after comparison” of how the trade chat looks on the EU realm Kazzak.

On the left, you can clearly see how the messages of boosting offers rush through the chat, and on the right, you see actual players chatting after the change.

Clearly amused, reikschield writes about the topic:

Okay, guys! Now it’s time to get back to politics discussions and anime spoilers. Let’s go, hypeeeee!

Somewhat more seriously, Malarkeycreator states:

This is actually so nice. I didn’t think it would matter to me this much, but this is a huge improvement in quality of life. I don’t even write [in the trade channel], but it’s just nice not to see spam anymore.

However, the change hasn’t only brought positives, as PUSCIFER later corrects. He writes:

Update: Now the channel is getting spammed with anal jokes.

But that only garners reactions like: “Just as the Lord intended.”

Some things in World of Warcraft never change – even if something changes.

How have you experienced this on your realm? Has the trade chat improved significantly there too? Or has everything remained the same for you?

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Leufeo and XP

Today, on February 1st, the Spotlight Hour with Leufeo starts in Pokémon GO. There is a bonus for more experience points (XP). We will show you the details of the event, start and end time, as well as Shiny Leufeo.

What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, a Spotlight Hour starts in Pokémon GO. For the duration of one hour, a selected Pokémon is in the spotlight. This means you will find it almost everywhere in the wild. The whole thing is accompanied by a bonus to make the Spotlight Hour more appealing.

We will show you what to expect this evening and who it is worth it for.

Spotlight Hour with Leufeo – Start, Shiny, and Bonuses

When does the event start? The Spotlight Hour begins today, February 1st, at 6:00 PM local time. You can play the event for one hour until it ends at 7:00 PM.

These are the bonuses: During the event, you will find Leufeo almost everywhere in the wild. If you want even more spawns, light a incense. It will mostly attract Leufeo.

As a bonus, you will receive double the amount of experience points for evolving Pokémon. So it’s worth it to search your collection beforehand and mark Pokémon you want to evolve. Especially if you still need to gather XP, you can easily increase it this way. This is how much XP you need from Level 41 to Level 50.

Is there Shiny Leufeo? Yes, since the start of the Lunar New Year in Pokémon GO, you can catch Leufeo for the first time in its shiny form. So you have the chance during the Spotlight Hour as well.

Here you will find the comparison between Leufeo and Shiny Leufeo, as well as the evolution Pyroleo in male and female

Is the Spotlight Hour today with Leufeo worth it?

For whom is it worth it? If you are still in the leveling process and gathering experience points, you can take advantage of the evolution bonus and use it to help you a bit.

Leufeo and its evolution Pyroleo are not really useful in trainer battles. There are simply stronger representatives that have significantly better chances in battle. Even in PvE, that is, in raids, Leufeo and Pyroleo don’t really have much to say. So use the Spotlight Hour mainly to fill your PokéDex and, if lucky, catch shinies.

All Spotlight Hours in February and their bonuses we show you on MeinMMO.

Guild Wars 2 accidentally leaked the release date of the expansion – disappointing the fans

Guild Wars 2 wanted to announce today, February 1st, the release date of the new expansion End of Dragons. However, the video was accidentally published too early. In addition to the botched announcement, players are also disappointed with the chosen release date.

What happened to the trailer? Guild Wars 2 is getting the End of Dragons expansion in February. This has been known since July 2021, but there has not been a concrete release date for a long time. This was supposed to be announced today at 3:00 PM.

However, the trailer was accidentally placed in a playlist too early, marked as “unlisted” and thus visible to everyone. The community saved it and published the trailer along with the release date on reddit.

When will the expansion be released now? End of Dragons is set to release on February 28, 2022. There is no exact time yet.

However, the announced date is not well received by many players.

Fans hoped for a Friday to game over the weekend

What is the problem? The last two expansions of Guild Wars 2 were released on October 23, 2015, and September 22, 2017. Both days were Fridays, which allowed fans to game for three consecutive days with just one day off, thanks to the weekend.

Many therefore hoped for a release on February 25. However, that wish was not fulfilled.

Many players see Monday as the worst release time, because they have to work all week before they can finally dive into the game world.

Is the day of the week the only reason for criticism? No, the release on February 28 is also seen critically by some players, as it is indeed the last day of the month when the expansion is supposed to be released.

They fear that End of Dragons could be released unfinished, just to keep the promise of February. Even with Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire, there was a feeling that the respective endings of the expansions seemed incomplete and “rushed”.

We at MeinMMO have already played End of Dragons:

No conflict with Elden Ring and quick bug fixes

Do all players view the release date negatively? No, there are positive voices, but they are rather in the minority on reddit. They are happy that they can use the weekend after February 25 for Elden Ring, the new RPG from FromSoftware.

Additionally, some players hope for quick updates and bug fixes, as End of Dragons comes out on a Monday, leaving many hours of developer work before the first weekend starts. For them, the late release time also has its positive sides.

How is the trailer itself received? The new trailer provides a good overview of the features and content of End of Dragons. It also shows the Etherblades, airships, the center of Kaineng as the new capital, and the Jade Bots as new technology.

There is praise mainly for the shown world bosses, including an underwater opponent.

Buy PS5: The chances of getting a console are highest with two retailers

This week, there are mainly two retailers where you might be able to buy a PS5. MeinMMO introduces what you need to consider.

Anyone who wants to buy a PS5 has to be extremely lucky right now. Because interested users are fighting against scalpers and other users for every available console. And currently, there are few opportunities to buy a PS5. Sony itself had recently only sold a few consoles directly.

However, it currently looks like you have a great chance this week at two specific retailers to buy a PS5.

MeinMMO briefly presents the two biggest hopes for buying a PS5.

Here is currently the best chance to buy a PS5

Which retailers are involved? You currently have the best chances with the retailers Müller and Otto.

  • The last drop at Otto was now 45 days ago and was at the end of December. From experience, we know that Otto usually sells PS5 consoles multiple times a month.
  • Müller is the second candidate this week where you can calculate high chances. The last drop here was now 42 days ago. Müller usually sells PS5 consoles once a month.

What speaks for the retailers? Both mentioned sellers have not sold a PS5 for over a month, and that is rather surprising. There has been a rumor that you might soon be able to buy a PS5 at Otto.

Although the last action turned out to be a false alarm, the signs are currently intensifying that it could finally happen this week.

It is also surprising at Müller that there have been no consoles available for purchase for over a month. The website Forum reports that there are several indications that there could be a drop during the week (via foraum.de). However, we cannot verify the source, so you should take that statement with caution.

Are there specific times? Most retailers have a specific time window during which they offer consoles in their shop.

At Otto, you mainly have chances in the mornings between 9 and 1 PM to buy a PS5. The last two drops at Otto in December both took place during this period.

Müller is often found even earlier in terms of timing. Here you can sometimes buy a PS5 even before 9 AM.

Didn’t get a PS5? If you didn’t get a PS5, then it’s best to check out our ticker. Here we keep you updated daily and explain how to best get a PS5 and show you drops around the desired console.
