World of Warcraft and Torghast want to give it another try. A new mode for the tower is coming – and it simply omits the most annoying content.
On the PTR of Patch 9.2 “Eternity’s End”, the final update of WoW: Shadowlands, there was another small, unexpected innovation. The Tower of the Damned, Torghast, is getting a small expansion and a completely new game mode. Here, you simply skip the “annoying” part of the tower – and only fight bosses.
What kind of mode is this? In the “Jailer’s Gauntlet” you don’t have to explore many levels laboriously. Instead, each level consists of just a single, small corridor that leads into a larger room. In there, there are just a handful of trash mobs and otherwise only the boss of the current level.
In this mode, you will repeatedly fight the bosses while unlocking new Anima powers and being able to try out particularly powerful combinations.
This eliminates the need to fight most of the trash, dodge traps, but also destroy phylacteries or save souls.
Do special rules apply? Yes, this has already been compiled on wowhead. Unlike in the regular corridors of Torghast, there are a whole range of peculiarities that you have to get used to again. These are:
The “Box of Infinite Things” is not active. You cannot “reroll” abilities, but there are also no torment effects or blessings.
There is no rating for the time taken. You have as much time as you want.
There is a limited number of deaths. After 5 deaths, your run ends and the Taragrue throws you out. Don’t ask why he’s back.
If you die, the current boss resets and regains full health.
New levels in Torghast are opening up.
What are the prerequisites? Moreover, there is a recommended item level for each level. This is designed so that the first levels can be tackled by “fresh” Shadowlands characters, while the last levels require pretty good gear from Patch 9.2.

What rewards are there? Similar to the winding corridors, there is also a range of rewards in the “Jailer’s Gauntlet” that you receive for completing certain levels. Every 2 levels, you get either a title, a toy, or even a mount. The currently known (and presumably final) rewards are:
Level 2: Faceless Herald (battle pet)
Level 4: Masterful Hearthstone (hearthstone toy)
Level 6: Gauntlet Runner [character name] (title)
Level 8: Sturdy Soulsteel Mawrat Harness (mount)

The mode is purely optional: The best thing about the new Torghast wing is probably that it is completely optional. If you are not interested in the cosmetic rewards, you don’t need to spend time there. The new Legendary upgrades in Patch 9.2 do not require resources from Torghast, so only those players who really want to enjoy the Jailer’s Tower need to go.
Keep in mind that this is still data from the PTR that may change before release.
What do you think of this new Torghast corridor? A cool and meaningful addition? Or just annoying to have more of the tower?

New World has announced a crossover with the TV series Wheel of Time, which is also part of Amazon. Through the crossover, you will be able to obtain new outfits, skins for your weapons, and crests for your guilds. All you have to do is watch Twitch.
This is the crossover: The MMO New World from Amazon Game Studios will launch its first crossover in December with the new TV series Wheel of Time.
As part of the crossover, players can receive a total of 6 different cosmetic items. These include:
Outfits of the characters from the series: Red Aja Cloak, Children of the Light Cloak, Egwene’s Cloak, and Nynaeve’s Coat
Weapon skins: Tam’s Blade and Shadowspawn Blade
The Ouroboros crest from the series, which they can use for their guilds.
This is what the
How to get the items: The crossover items are, as is often the case with Amazon, available as Twitch drops. To receive them, you need to watch a channel that streams New World and has the drops active.
The longer you watch, the more drops you earn. To get all the items, you must have watched a total of 7 hours of New World content on Twitch.
The crossover starts on December 23 and ends on January 12. So you have plenty of time to collect all the items.
More information about New World on MeinMMO can be found here:
What is Wheel of Time? Wheel of Time is originally a book series written by the American author Robert Jordan. The story revolves around the eternal conflict between good and evil and follows the character Rand al’Thor.
He is a farmer’s son who grows up in an idyllic rural area known as the Two Rivers. But he and some of his friends have to flee when they are attacked and pursued by beastmen known as Trollocs.
On November 21, Wheel of Time premiered as a TV series on Amazon Prime and has received relatively good ratings so far, with 83% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5 stars on IMDb.
Currently, the Winter Event is already taking place in New World. You can find everything about it in our article:
Many special cards in FIFA 22 are extremely expensive. However, some of these players can be found for comparatively low prices. We present 5 options here.
FIFA 22 has already seen numerous special events – nearly every week there is one taking place. Currently, for example, the new Winter Wildcards event is running. These promos constantly bring enhanced cards into the game that can improve your teams.
The problem: Many of these cards require a lot of coins. The best cards are hardly affordable.
However, there are also some cards that do not cost excessively many coins and that can be afforded with just a few Division Rivals rewards or Weekend Leagues.
We take a look at 5 such candidates that cost less than 50,000 coins and offer good value for money. We have not looked for specific positions or leagues, but have primarily focused on values and costs.
This is not about the absolute top cards like Mbappé, Neymar, etc., but still about players who can improve many teams. We start with the cheapest card and work our way up.
Because that is ultimately what Arnautovic is: a damn good striker who is well-positioned in all offensive areas. Equipped with a Hunter card, Arnautovic is fast, has great dribbling, and finishing ability. Accordingly, he is a really good choice for your attack.
So why is he so cheap? This is likely due to the fact that he is not very easy to incorporate into typical meta teams, as chemistry must be considered. But if you play a team based on Serie A, you should think about Arnautovic.
Thomas Delaney – OTW
Price: approx. 25,000 coins
This is what makes Thomas Delaney special: This card is the OTW version of Thomas Delaney, which has received several upgrades due to multiple wins and a TOTW nomination. It now stands at 86 overall – and the stats on the card are extremely balanced.
Highlights are the 87 in physicality and 88 in defense, but the other values are also really good for a central defensive midfielder. With a Shadow style, Delaney has everything you want from a CDM.
The low price is likely due to the combination of Denmark and LaLiga. Because of that, Delaney is not particularly easy to link in hybrid teams. But if you play a LaLiga team, he is a very strong option for little coins.
Jesús Corona – Rulebreakers
Price: approx. 25,500 coins
This is what makes Jesús Corona special: Admittedly: The winger is not particularly easy to incorporate into typical mainstream teams due to being a Mexican player in the Portuguese league. But if you manage to do it, you get an extremely dangerous player for your right side.
Corona has 5 stars in both skills and weak foot. Additionally, he has strong values in dribbling, shooting, and passing. If you equip him with a Hunter style, you get a fast, dribbling striker in Corona who can also pass the ball when needed.
Only in defense will you need a decent defensive player behind him. In that regard, Corona is not well-positioned.
This is what makes Alexander Isak special: Unfortunately, the Europa League card of Alexander Isak cannot receive any further upgrades. But at least the Swede has already secured an upgrade through advancing previously.
The result: A really strong striker card that is well positioned in all offensive areas – especially if you also add an Engine style on top. In addition, Isak is tall, strong in headers, and also has 5 stars on his weak foot and 4 stars in skills.
With Isak, the relatively low price is likely again due to the difficult linking options. In doubt, Isak could also be a strong substitution option.
Nicolò Barella – IF
Price: approx. 45,000 coins
This is what makes Nicolò Barella special: Barella’s first Inform card has just dropped below the 50,000 coin mark – likely also because he received another Inform card rated 87 in TOTW 13.
Previously, his 86 card was in the six-figure range for a long time and was one of the most expensive cards in Serie A. This is likely due to his still strong stats: The 86 player has really high dribbling stats as well as a good combination of physicality, defense, passing, and speed. He also has 97 stamina, which allows him to keep up throughout the whole game.
If you equip Barella with a Shadow style, you have a damn strong, versatile CDM at your disposal.
In 2021, numerous new games were released, including survival games of all kinds. MeinMMO presents you with 3 new survival games that were released at the end of the year to sweeten your Christmas holiday.
Which games can I find here? We have compiled 3 games for you that were only released in the 4th quarter. These are brand new survival games that you can experience fresh in time for Christmas.
In doing so, we made no distinction between MMOs and single-player games, but tried to provide a reasonably broad selection. Therefore, you will find tips for gaming sessions alone as well as with friends.
How did we select them? The most important criterion is that the game has to be new. We aimed to present the freshest releases, which are not yet found in the top lists like our best survival games for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
The goal is for you to discover something new. Accordingly, there are currently no or very few ratings. The assessment comes from the author, who has gained experience over many thousands of hours in all kinds of survival games. The list itself is unordered.
What kind of game is this? Humanity is trying to create a new Earth. However, this fails, and the new planet becomes toxic for humans. Nevertheless, scientists discover a new, valuable material there.
You are to collect this. For this purpose, you will be sent back to the planet Icarus in sessions, where you are to survive, explore, and gather resources. Icarus fully relies on PvE and the game together against the inhospitable world.
The first community highlight shows gameplay and some particularly cool scenes from the players.
How does survival work? You play Icarus in individual sessions in which you are repeatedly sent to the planet. Each time you must build a base anew. However, acquired skills and learned technologies carry over between the sessions.
The most important resources for you are oxygen, food, and water. You must always keep an eye on everything and procure food or water. The wildlife of the planet and the environment itself with its various biomes always threaten you.
It is important that you only have a limited amount of time. You must be back at the landing ship before it takes off – otherwise you’ll be left behind. Time is therefore also a factor you must consider in your survival.
Icarus is suitable for those who enjoy classic survival games like ARK, Rust, or Conan Exiles but want to explore a new approach to the genre. With its focus on cooperation and lack of PvP, the game is especially suited for groups.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach (PC/Steam, PS4, PS5)
What kind of game is this? Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach is the tenth installment in the popular “FnaF” series, which includes several main titles and spin-offs. In it, you play as the boy Gregory, who is locked in Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex overnight.
You encounter horrific, living toys and monsters that hunt you down. Those who have played the previous titles will recognize many of them. Your goal is to survive until morning, when the “night protocols” are turned off and the monsters no longer see you as a foe.
FnaF: Security Breach was released on December 16, 2021, for PC, PS4, and PS5. More platforms are expected to follow three months after the release.

The trailer for the new FNaF from Sony’s State of Play.
How does survival work? In FnaF, you do not have to worry about food or oxygen. You are primarily on the run from enemies and must be careful not to run out of battery on your flashlight. Because if you can see nothing, you become easier prey for your enemies.
Through surveillance cameras, you can monitor your surroundings without having to enter them directly. This way, you can see which areas are safe and where enemies are patrolling. If enemies get too close, you must quickly find a hiding spot.
By using color eggs or toys, you can distract monsters that have you in their sights. This makes it more likely for you to escape. Until morning, you will also have to solve some puzzles to proceed.
FNaF is suitable for everyone who enjoys a scare and loves horror games. The series is known for its horrifying, distorted portrayal of otherwise friendly toys. Ideal for those who like to tremble alone in the dark in front of the screen.
Genre: Horror Shooter | Developer: 10 Chambers | Platform: PC (Steam) | Release: December 10, 2021 | Website/Shop:Steam
What kind of game is this? With GTFO, the Swedish indie studio 10 Chambers, consisting of many Payday veterans, has created its first shooter. You play as a prisoner who must collect data in an abandoned research station in space.
You will be sent out in each round with a team of 4 prisoners, meaning up to 3 additional players or AI helpers. The complexes are teeming with aliens, which you should better avoid and not wake up. However, sometimes you will encounter puzzles such as doors that can only be opened through teamwork.
How does survival work? GTFO relies on a tactical approach. The only lethal threat is the enemies, which you should avoid if possible. Because ammunition and healing items are scarce.
The game is intended to be extremely challenging and punishing, very much in the spirit of PayDay. You are expected to work together and communicate to get through the levels without dying.
However, once you have startled the aliens – through careless actions or alarms – you must defend yourself. Hordes will then rush at you, and you will need to coordinate to survive. However, the odds do not always look good.
One of the major changes at release was the implementation of optional checkpoints. This means that dying does not necessarily end a mission but only sets you back a little.
GTFO is suitable for everyone who enjoys big challenges and wants to work closely with up to 3 friends. Especially small groups that like to play games cooperatively should take a look at GTFO.
The 3 games we have presented here are just some of the newest survival games that you can still play at the end of 2021. However, you can already look forward to next year, as more games are planned in the coming months where you can test your survival skills:
In a long stream, the developers of Lost Ark announced a whole lot of content and changes for 2022. This includes new raids and areas, balance adjustments, and above all, the completely new class Painter. However, the updates will initially be available only for Korea.
This is the Artist: The Painter (or Artist?) is a class that comes with a completely new base class called “Specialist”. She is exclusively female and uses a large brush as a weapon.
It is said to be a support class that uses black and white ink in combat to damage her opponents and strengthen her allies. For example, the Artist can use her brush to draw various creatures like birds or fish and send them into battle.
With white ink, she can draw areas on the ground that grant her group buff auras and a kind of shields. The Artist will be playable in the Korean version of Lost Ark starting January 12.
The class was previously found in the code of the Korean version of Lost Ark and was called “Weather Artist” there. The first look at it and information about gameplay is only available now.

These classes were also announced: In addition to the Artist, the Specialist will also receive a second advanced class. It does not have an official name yet, but its abilities will revolve around the weather. She will be able to influence the weather, change it, and use it against her enemies.
Additionally, the existing class Berserker will receive a female version. This is the next step towards weakening the gender lock that exists in Lost Ark.
So far, the Striker and Gunslinger have already been released in this context.

A lot of content for 2022. But (for now) only in Korea
This was also announced: In the long developer stream, a lot of content for the year 2022 was announced, which aims to satisfy both PvE and PvP fans in detail:
Balance adjustments: Especially the weaker jobs will receive buffs.
General improvements to the user interface and gameplay experience (‘Quality of Life’).
The developers will introduce new gold sinks to combat inflation.
With Rowen, a continent will come where open-world PvP will take place. The developers have specifically stated that they will take measures against ganking and PK.
Further PvP updates that introduce two warring factions and “guild vs. guild” systems with siege battles.
A lot of story content on the new continents Elgacia and Voldaik, with the latter possibly also releasing in 2023. Additionally, the backstory of the character Aman will be expanded in a separate quest line.
New raids with the Legion Commander Akkan followed by Carmen, as well as a new Guardian raid in which players will likely fight against a giant golden frog.
New islands on the ocean.
A battle royale mode with predefined classes that will be available to players, as well as a MOBA-style PvP mode. In this mode, however, you will be able to play your own class again.
A lot of mini-games in the style of Mario Party, but with much more blood.
Additional options and adjustments for personal housing on the player island and the wedding feature for players.
Overall, Korean players can expect a lot of content in 2022, released in stages. The launch will be led by the Artist, who will go online in January.
When will all the content come to us? How long Western players will have to wait for all the fun mentioned above is currently hard to say. Lost Ark has to release in our region in the first place, and some are eagerly anticipating the release date on February 12.
The content mix that the Western version of the MMORPG has received so far differs from that of other regions. While Russia and Japan receive their content in roughly the same order it was released in Korea, it has been mixed up in Europe.
Thus, European players will receive the three newest classes Striker, Gunslinger, and Sorceress directly at launch, which only appeared in Korea in 2021.
Christmas 2021 in GTA Online is just around the corner, and even if you haven’t logged into the game for a long time, it’s worth logging in for the holiday. We’ll show you what’s so great about it here on MeinMMO.
What kind of event is this? Every year during Christmas, a special Christmas event starts in GTA 5 Online with gifts, bonuses, and other worthwhile content. Many players return to Los Santos just for this event and look forward to it all year.
In this overview, we show you why a visit to GTA Online for Christmas 2021 is worthwhile for you as well.
New Update “The Contract” brings weapons, cars, and story
What’s included: On December 15, Rockstar Games released the update “The Contract,” which brings you many missions, new weapons, properties, cars, and upgrades. The focus of the update is primarily on the story. Franklin, who you know from the GTA 5 story as one of the protagonists, is now entering the online mode.
He has started an agency, and you are supposed to help it shine. Right away, the first mission shows in typical Rockstar Games fashion that the humor and craziness from the single-player mode have been perfectly transitioned into the online mode. For all story fans, it’s definitely worth taking a look at the new update for Christmas.
New weapons and cars: In GTA Online, the rule is “More is better,” and that’s why there are new weapons and cars available for purchase with this update. At launch, the developers introduced the compact EMP launcher, the stunner, and the heavy rifle.
A part of the new content from The Contract: The compact EMP launcher, the Enus Jubilee, and the agency
Right at the start of the update, Rockstar Games introduced seven new cars to the dealerships. However, in the weeks following the release, more cars will be released that data miners have already discovered.
These include fast sports cars, but also flashy luxury vehicles.
What’s happening? Every year during Christmas, the developers of GTA Online bring out the snow cannons and cover a large part of the map with the white splendor. Snowflakes fall from the sky, and the roads are really nice and slippery.
True to the motto “If you drive sideways, you see more,” it’s up to you to take your sports cars out of the garage and drift around the corners in these completely over-the-top horsepower slides. Driving on the streets of GTA Online during Christmas is always a lot of fun, provided you’re not in a hurry.
Practice your drift skills, shoot cool videos, and enjoy the pure chaos on the streets in multiplayer.
However, the snow also brings some disadvantages. If you need to drive across the map for missions or want to participate in time trials, it’s significantly more difficult. However, if you just want to have fun during Christmas, the snowfall in 2021 has got you covered.
Gifts for Logging In
What is this bonus? During the big Christmas event of GTA Online, gifts are distributed to you. This has always been the case in recent years, and you can safely assume that there will be gifts for you again in 2021.
Even gangsters are happy about gifts – especially in GTA Online when there are weapons and ammunition
Usually, you only need to log in on certain days to receive your gifts. Every year, you get full armor, weapons, ammunition, and cosmetic items. Highlights include vehicles that you receive completely free of charge.
What gifts are there? This is not yet clear for this year. Rockstar Games announces the bonuses a few days before Christmas. Here on MeinMMO, we will quickly show you the gifts.
Will you be logging into GTA Online again for Christmas 2021? What content are you looking forward to the most? Let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.

The MMORPG Crowfall was released on July 6, but soon after the release, it faced issues with player numbers. Now ArtCraft announces that the IP will be sold to the indie developer Monumental. The takeover starts immediately.
This was announced: In a press release, ArtCraft stated that they have sold their PvP MMORPG Crowfall to the indie studio Monumental. But not only the IP Crowfall will now be handed over to the new owners, but also the entire development team of the MMORPG. This includes President and Executive Producer Gordon Walton.
He and his colleagues will leave ArtCraft and continue to develop and maintain Crowfall for Monumental. Since both studios are based in Austin, Texas, this should at least present little logistical issues. The handover of the MMORPG begins immediately, with no interruptions in gameplay.
The Chief Executive Officer of Monumental, Monty Kerr, is according to his own statement one of the early backers of Crowfall on Kickstarter and is also an active player himself. In his statement about the purchase, he said he is pleased to welcome Crowfall to his studio.
The remaining developers at ArtCraft will instead focus on work on an unannounced project.
Who is Monumental? If you look at the game portfolio of the indie developer on their official site, you’ll quickly notice that they have primarily specialized in mobile games so far:
Little Alchemists (4.3 stars in the Google Store)
Storm Wars (4.6 stars in the Google Store)
Looty Dungeon (4.6 stars in the Google Store)
In October 2021, Monumental also purchased the dying Steam card game Mythgard, which has very good ratings but very low player numbers. The goal was to save Mythgard from maintenance mode.
A similar approach appears to be happening now with Crowfall.
What were Crowfall’s problems? The Kickstarter MMORPG was introduced in 2015 and managed to raise enough money for development. However, the launch was tepid and the player numbers seemed to be far below the number of backers.
In early December, a letter to investors painted a grim picture for Crowfall:
Player numbers are lower than expected
The layoffs in September were confirmed
Quarterly revenues were below the set goals, and in the third quarter of 2021, the company even had a loss of 2.4 million dollars.
The letter was clear: If no significant changes occur, Crowfall will either be transferred to maintenance mode to reduce costs or completely shut down.
Apparently, developer Monumental intervened at this point and offered to purchase the MMORPG, much like they had done with the card game Mythgard.
What exactly the future of Crowfall will look like, whether there will be changes in monetization or the type of content, is not yet known.
What do you think of the sudden sale of the MMORPG? Let us know in the comments.
The developer behind Back 4 Blood has been acquired. Turtle Rock Studios now belongs to Tencent – has the game failed?
The release of Back 4 Blood was just a few months ago, the latest patch just 2 days ago. But now there is a major announcement. The developer behind Back 4 Blood has been sold. Is this a sign that the game flopped? Or is the opposite the case?
What happened? Turtle Rock Studios, the developers behind Back 4 Blood, but also formerly Evolve or the original Left 4 Dead, have been acquired by the Chinese company Tencent.
What does the developer say? Turtle Rock Studios immediately released a statement on their own homepage right after the deal – and it paints a significantly more positive picture than some in the community fear. Accordingly, the parent company Slamfire has been acquired by Tencent.
By joining the Tencent family, we not only gain access to their extensive resources and knowledge but we also have a partner who encourages us to act ambitiously and visionarily. Even though our company is being acquired, we will remain independent and continue to be led by our co-founders Phil Robb and Chris Ashton.
Furthermore, Turtle Rock Studios explains that 2021 has been a special year – the launch of Back 4 Blood and now the partnership with Tencent. It states:
We are expanding our team to support Back 4 Blood and create new, exciting multiplayer experiences. We will continue to communicate transparently via our Trello board about what we are working on and expand what makes Back 4 Blood so special. Additionally, we can do something we have never done before: transforming a universe we have created into a long-term AAA franchise. We can now guarantee that the ‘Back 4 Blood’ franchise is here to stay and will continue to evolve in the future.
The community is concerned: In the Subreddit of Back 4 Blood, the news is received with mixed feelings. Many fear that Back 4 Blood might have flopped and this was a good time for Tencent to purchase the studio. Some are also worried that the game will soon be flooded with micro-transactions.
Whether in the end everything turns out as positively as Turtle Rock describes in its statement remains to be seen. The fans’ concerns seem – at least at this moment – rather unfounded. Tencent is known for acquiring studios, but usually only intervenes when there are serious problems.
What do you think of this news? A good thing for Turtle Rock Studios? Or a clear sign that Back 4 Blood has flopped?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The developers of New World have released a 90-minute video discussing the current update. They also provide insights into the future of the MMO. We at MeinMMO reveal the most important details.
What have the developers said about the future? The new video focused heavily on the latest patch 1.2 in December. For example, it was revealed that there is more story behind the Yeti from the winter event which will be unveiled over time.
However, six very interesting statements were made regarding the entire future of New World:
The next weapon will be the Thunder rifle – “coming soon”.
A new event is expected in January that players can look forward to. The February patch, on the other hand, focuses mainly on bugs, balance, and bots.
Mutations will be a new PvE feature primarily targeting hardcore players.
Other weapons “on the table” include Great sword, Dagger, Shield + another weapon.
They plan many new quests, including tasks where NPCs will follow players, and new events in the open world.
PvP content for smaller groups (10v10 was mentioned) is going to be introduced.
You can watch the complete video from the developers here:

Read more about our privacy policy.
What exactly was said about the weapons? The upcoming Thunder rifle is supposed to have more explosions and a “Run and Gun” style. This means you will likely be able to use many skills while on the move. The range is expected to be rather short to medium. However, it was not revealed which attributes the weapon will scale with.
The weapon after the Thunder rifle will probably be the Great sword. The concept there should revolve around switching stances.
The order after that is not quite clear. An as-yet-unknown one-handed weapon in combination with a Shield and Daggers is planned.
What are mutations? Mutations are weekly challenges that players can sign up for at a board. In these, players will run one of the dungeons with adjusted difficulty levels, aimed mainly at hardcore PvE players.
Ten difficulty levels are planned for the mutations. Strategies and the right combo of weapons will be important.
The mutations are supposed to be brought to the PTR in January.
There is a list of bugs they are currently working on
The Trees of Light from the winter event drop more loot the better they are developed in the settlement
The Fire Staff will receive a damage buff, while the Ice Gauntlet will get more CC
What do you think of the developers’ outlook? Do the plans appeal to you or do you have other wishes for New World? Feel free to write them in the comments.
Finally, the head of New World, Scot Lane, commented on player numbers in an interview:
In the shop of Pokémon GO, you can find the ticket for the Community Day in December 2021 for €1. We will show you all the quests and rewards of the ticket here. If you complete the tasks, you will receive two Elite TMs. We will also show you the limited research here.
What kind of ticket is this? In December, the Community Day of Pokémon GO takes place on two days: December 18 and 19. For the price of €1 (varies slightly depending on the shop), you can purchase a special ticket that unlocks a special research. This research is specifically tailored to the Community Day.
Where can I get the ticket? Interested players can find the ticket in the Pokémon GO shop (in the game). Below the boxes, you will find the category “Global Events,” where you can find a ticket for the Johto Tour and the ticket for the C-Day in December.

On Saturday, December 18, 2021, the huge December Community Day will start in Pokémon GO. This will last over two days and bring you some special features again. We at MeinMMO have looked at what you can expect from this event and show you how to make the most of it.
What kind of event is this? Every month a so-called Community Day takes place in Pokémon GO. Usually, a specific Pokémon is highlighted and spawns more frequently during the event. However, December holds a special feature for you, as this Community Day will be huge and brings you 25 monsters.
The selected Pokémon that you can catch on the two event days come from the Community Days of 2020 and 2021. You will encounter them either in the wild, in eggs, or through raids.

Due to the multitude of Pokémon and event attacks, you should carefully consider which monsters you want to catch for Community Day. In the following article, we have summarized the best Pokémon for you.
How to Make the Most of Community Day in December 2021
What preparations should you make? As with any other Community Day, you need to clear space in your Pokémon box beforehand to minimize the sorting you have to do during the event.
Additionally, you will need numerous balls to catch on this day. Gather these now by spinning at PokéStops or opening gifts. Through the current Christmas event, you can open up to 45 gifts a day. Make sure to take advantage of this, as it’s the easiest way to ensure you have balls.
Depending on how much and how actively you want to play, you should have at least 350 balls saved up for each day. This way you can start catching for a while without needing to immediately replenish your supply.
Which items are important for Community Day?
Unlike what you may be used to from regular C-Days, during this one, you will find not just one specific monster in the wild. You can potentially encounter up to 25 different Pokémon, which are available to you through Niantic in various ways.
Depending on which monsters you want to secure, you will need the corresponding items. In addition to the numerous balls for catching, it is also advisable to have incense and lures ready. You will need up to 2 of each per day.
Use these items
To get as many candies as possible, it is also advisable to have a supply of Nanab Berries. During the event, you will already receive double XP and double Stardust for catching Pokémon. You can further increase this by using Star Pieces and Lucky Eggs, each of which lasts for 30 minutes.
For raids, you should also have enough raid passes prepared. If you prefer to make use of the shorter hatch distance of the eggs, you should preferably hatch several eggs at once, which means you may need one or more incubators as well.
What is particularly worthwhile for Community Day?
During Community Day, you can encounter numerous strong monsters that are great for use in raids or the PvP league. Pokémon like Luxray and Flygon, for example, are amongst the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Therefore, it is best to think ahead about which Pokémon you still need and which ones you want a strong specimen or candies for. It is also advisable to utilize the trading bonuses and actively trade Pokémon with your friends. This way, you also have the chance for a lucky Pokémon. The additional special trade you have daily can be optimally used for your lucky friends.
But you should also not overlook the other bonuses for the event. You will receive double Stardust and XP for catching monsters. Therefore, Community Day is the perfect opportunity to farm a lot of Stardust and XP.
And you should also take advantage of the reduced hatch distance. If you don’t want the event Pokémon from the 2-km eggs, you can instead opt for the 10- and 12-km eggs, which include some rare specimens. Which monsters you can currently find in the 12-km eggs have been summarized in another article.
Of course, shiny hunters will also find what they’re looking for during this event. Each of the Pokémon for Community Day is also available in their shiny form.
What do you think of the spawns and bonuses for Community Day? How do you prepare for the event? And what do you absolutely not want to miss on the C-Day? Feel free to share your opinion with us here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange views with other trainers about it.
Palia is a new MMO that mainly focuses on cozy and social aspects. While you can optionally go hunting for animals, your house, your neighbors, and activities like cooking or fishing are the main focus. It is developed by former employees of Blizzard and Riot Games. The first alpha is supposed to start in 2022.
What exactly is Palia? In Palia, you play humans who are a “legendary people” in the game world. At the peak of their creativity, they suddenly disappeared and no one knew why. Now, after thousands of years, humans have suddenly reappeared, and you must create a new home in this unknown world.
Palia offers various activities that you can experience alone or together with other players:
There is housing with thousands of different items. Your friends should be able to come over and help you decorate.
Activities like fishing, cooking, chopping wood, mining stones, or building your own farm are part of the core content.
You can constantly change the appearance of your character and give them cool outfits.
You can build friendships and relationships with NPCs in the area.
While Palia is supposed to allow for combat against creatures from the surrounding area, this is meant to be completely optional. The focus is primarily on special hunting quests. Instead of classes, a system of various skills is implemented.
If you want, you can completely forgo fighting. There will be no PvP at all.
A first look at the world of the MMO is provided by this trailer from June:

Trailer for Palia, one of the most interesting upcoming MMOs
A perfect MMO for fans of Animal Crossing
What content will there be in Palia? The new MMO was first introduced in June 2021. Since then, there have been several interviews and Q&A sessions where the developers have shared more details about Palia:
Your houses should be located in real neighborhoods, small or large, allowing you to interact with the same players in your area.
When you leave your cities, you enter the so-called Adventure Zones. There, you should be able to explore various areas and biomes, discover secrets, and also go hunting.
In the open world, there should be hidden lore items that players can find to learn more about the story.
You will be able to eat and drink in the game. This is not mandatory, but it offers advantages and makes cooking more interesting.
There will be mini-games while cooking to create a similar experience to the real world. There will also be crafting content where you simply drag items into an interface.
Dungeons are planned for the future. How these will look and whether there will be fighting or puzzles has not been revealed.
Also planned for the future are “various ways” to present your achievements and collections.
You should be able to have fun alone and complete tasks, but Palia still strongly focuses on cooperation with others.
Role-playing should be an important part of Palia.
There will be custom key bindings.
Over time, the world and the story of Palia should continually develop. Even after the release, many updates are planned, as the game aims to engage its fans for “decades.”
What makes Palia so interesting? The basic idea of the MMO is based on the fact that players have a world they can immerse themselves in without too much work or stress. Palia is intended to be a relaxing balance to everyday life.
The developers aim to achieve this through their unique gameplay. Many content, such as cozy housing, fishing, and cooking, as well as interaction with NPCs and other players in the world, immediately remind one of Animal Crossing. And it was indeed the most successful new game in 2020 (via GamesWirtschaft).
Graphically, Palia also settles in a similar world. So, anyone looking for a relaxed MMO with many opportunities for interaction with other players might find their home in Palia.
What about monetization? There are currently no details on that. However, the developers are confident that players will be satisfied with the model.
Pre-Alpha for Palia was a success, Closed Alpha expected in 2022
How is Palia developing? In July, the developers announced that they had received investments of 25.3 million euros to advance development. Throughout the year, they have also regularly searched for new developers for the game.
In September, the pre-alpha took place, but with an NDA on it. In the summary of the pre-alpha, the developers wrote that players “caught 78,650 bugs, harvested 76,431 fruits, hunted 128,952 beasts, baked 153 cakes, worked a tremendous amount of land, and identified invaluable system bugs.”
Additionally, it is said that there was a lot of valuable feedback, on which further development will build.
Who is behind Palia? The studio Singularity 6 was founded by Aidan Karabaich, a former developer at Carbine Studios (WildStar) and Lead Designer at Riot Games (LoL), and Anthony Leung, former Development Director at Riot Games.
On board they have:
Evan Hill, Level Designer of The Last of Us Part 2
Jeremy Fenske, former Concept Artist of ESO
Jon Davis, 10-year programmer at Respawn Entertainment (Call of Duty)
Other former developers from Blizzard and Riot Games
According to the developers, not only gameplay is important, but also atmosphere. Accordingly, some first soundtracks have already been shared on Twitter and YouTube.

What’s next for Palia? The closed alpha for the MMO is expected to start in the first half of 2022. You can already register on the official website (via Palia).
With a bit of luck, you will be selected for the tests and can thus test one of the interesting MMOs for the coming years. However, there is no guaranteed access to the alpha, such as through a founder’s package.
The developers have not yet commented on a possible release date. A full release in 2022 currently seems rather unlikely.
What do you think about Palia? Do you find the MMO exciting? Or does it always have to be combat, dungeons, and PvP for you? Feel free to write it in the comments.

In Pokémon GO will be holding the Community Day in December on December 18 and 19, 2021. This will be huge and will bring you 25 different monsters, some bonuses, and of course, special event attacks again. We at MeinMMO will show you which monsters you should definitely secure.
What kind of event is it? As in every month, there will be a Community Day in Pokémon GO again this December. However, while in other months only one monster is the focus, this event will feature all C-Day Pokémon from the years 2020 and 2021.
Thus, on both event days of the Community Days in December, you will encounter a total of 25 different Pokémon. Each of them can also be evolved and will learn a special event attack in its final evolution. We have looked at which monsters will be available and will show you which ones you should definitely catch.
When does the C-Day take place? The Community Day will take place on December 18 and 19, 2021, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time.
7 Pokémon that you should catch at the Community Day
The selection of Pokémon for the Community Day in December is huge. You can encounter Machollo, Roselia, Wablu, Kaumalat, Serpifeu, Dartiri, Evoli, Zwirrlicht, Sheinux, Floink, and Ottaro abundantly in the wild.
In eggs and raids, you’ll also find additional monsters like Glumanda, Hornliu, Abra, Nebulak, Rihorn, Karpador, Porygon, Elekid, Elektek, Magby, Magmar, Samurzel, Plinfa, and Knospi. Evolving the Pokémon from the wild, eggs, or raids will grant the final evolution a special event attack.
Due to the large selection, you should decide in advance which Pokémon you want to catch. Below, we have summarized 7 monsters that are especially worth catching.
Kaumalat
Kaumalat is a dragon and ground Pokémon from the 4th generation. It evolves from Knarksel into Knakrack. Outside of events, Kaumalat is quite rare to find in the wild. Just that is a reason to secure an exemplar.
Moreover, Knakrack is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO due to its strong stats. During the event, it learns the charge attack Earth Power. In the PvP League, it is also a good candidate in the Master League. So, it’s worth securing a strong Kaumalat. You will find it in the wild on the first event day.
The fighting Pokémon Machollo comes from the 1st game generation. It evolves from Maschok into Machomei. You can catch it in the wild during the first event day. If you evolve Machollo into Machomei during the C-Day, it will learn the event attack Counter.
You should definitely take this opportunity during the Community Day to secure a strong exemplar because Machomei is one of the strongest fighting Pokémon in the game. You can use this monster excellently in raid battles, and it can also excel in the Super and Hyper League.
Machollo
Sheinux
You should also secure a couple of Sheinux on this day. The electric-type monster from the 4th generation can evolve into Luxio and then into Luxtra. Luxtra will learn the event attack Psychobeizer this weekend.
Outside of the Community Day, Sheinux is not found in the wild. It can occasionally be found in eggs or raids. So, if you missed out on the last C-Day, you now have the chance to secure a strong exemplar. Luxtra is a good electric attacker that you should secure for raids.
Sheinux
Roselia
You should also secure Roserade, the evolution of Roselia, for the Community Day. The monster can score well as both a poison and grass attacker in raids. For this reason, it makes sense to secure a second exemplar here.
And even for the Community Day, Roserade is special. While every other monster only gets one event attack, the grass and poison Pokémon gets Bullet Seed and Weather Ball Fire. In the GO Battle League, Roserade plays a rather subordinate role.
Roselia
Evoli
Evoli should certainly not be missing from this list. It starts with eight different evolutions. For this reason, it is worth catching a few more Evoli.
If you are still looking for a strong attacker for raids, you should focus on Feelinara (Fairy type), Psiana (Psychic type), Folipurba (Grass type), and Glaziola (Ice type). These are among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
But the evolution into Nachtara can also be helpful for you. If you often compete in the GO Battle League, you should definitely secure an exemplar for the Super and Hyper League. And Feelinara is also an excellent candidate for PvP battles.
Evoli
Dartiri
Dartiri is a normal and flying-type Pokémon. It comes from the 6th generation and evolves into Dartignis and then into Fiaro. This monster is particularly interesting for trainers who love to compete in the PvP League. There, Fiaro is a strong candidate, especially in the Hyper League. PvPoke also recommends using the event attack Incinerate (via pvpoke.com).
Dartiri
Wablu
And also Altaria, the evolution of Wablu, can shine in PvP battles. Especially in the Super League, it can convince with its event attack Moonblast, which is why you should secure a strong exemplar.
During the first event day, you will find Wablu in the wild. However, to evolve into Altaria, you will need to spend 400 candies. Therefore, it is worth it to catch as many monsters as possible on this day.
Additionally, Altaria has a Mega Evolution that can be greatly utilized in raids or Team GO Rocket fights.
Wablu
More strong monsters
Besides the mentioned Pokémon, there are also more interesting and strong monsters to catch. Impoleon, Garados, Gengar, Simsala, Rihornior, Porygon-Z, and Elevoltek are among the best attackers in Pokémon GO and are therefore excellent for use in raids.
Their corresponding pre-evolutions Plinfa, Karpador, Nebulak, Abra, Rihorn, Porygon, Elekid, or Elektek can be found during the Community Day in raids and in 2 km eggs.
Glumanda and Hornliu could also be interesting for some trainers. Their evolutions Glurak and Bibor have corresponding Mega Evolutions, which make the monsters even stronger. They are also good candidates for the GO Battle League. However, these monsters can only be obtained in raids or eggs.
What do you think of the spawns for the Community Day? Which monsters do you absolutely want to secure this weekend? And will you use these specimens more in raids or the PvP League? Feel free to share your opinions and experiences here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange with other trainers.
In FIFA 22 the next event is coming up. Winter Wildcards is a completely new promo, but what could be hidden behind the name?
When does Winter Wildcards start? The new event started on Friday, December 17, at 7:00 PM. Winter Wildcards replaces the currently ongoing Versus event. The freshly started Icon Swaps will of course continue as usual.
What is Winter Wildcards? Looking at the calendar, Winter Wildcards is set to be this year’s “larger” winter event. Previously, it was the “Futmas” event, which was already replaced by “Freeze” in FIFA 21 . Now we have a new successor.
What kind of event is this? In the Winter Wildcards event, there are various boosts – from stats to skill moves and weak feet to position changes. The first team of the event will be available until December 23 – after that, it will be replaced by the second team.
In addition, there is, as speculated before, another swap event. 24 Wildcard tokens can be earned in Squad Building Challenges and tasks, which can then be exchanged for rewards. However, exchanging will only be possible from December 26.
Now, let us first show you the event cards.
This is the Winter Wildcards Team 1
This is the Winter Wildcards team: The Winter Wildcards Team 1 features some extremely strong cards equipped with various boosts.
For example, Pogba gets a new card with all stats above 80 – and thus joins the Gullit Gang. Neymar is moved to the forward position and has extremely dangerous attacking stats. And then there are various boosts on skill moves and weak feet.
You can find the complete list of players from the first team here:

The Trials of Osiris on December 17 – Map, Weapons, and Information
Which map is on for this week? The large and open map “Bannerfall” is back on.
This map is waiting for you – Bannerfall
This is how you get your loot: You will no longer receive your loot in the Trials of Osiris through three, five, and seven wins, but through:
Seven victories
50 rounds
as well as the notorious flawless run
This is the reward for a flawless run: This time, you will receive the Adept version of “Shayura’s Wrath”. This is an SMG with Void element.
Once you have received your desired weapon, you can focus your Trials engrams specifically on it. Additionally, there are enhancement prisms and ascendant shards. Remember that your reward increases further as soon as you have a complete passage – even if you lost one or two games.
When do the Trials start? The Trials start as usual at the daily reset at 6 PM.
How was the week for you? Have you already pushed Xur’s rank to the maximum? Let us know in the comments what you are planning to do until the Witch Queen!

Community Day starts on December 18 in Pikmin Bloom. We will show you all the information about it and how you can earn a medal.
What kind of event is this? As known from other games by the developers at Niantic, there is also a Community Day in Pikmin Bloom once a week. This is an event designed to encourage you to move. Anyone who participates actively can look forward to a medal this time.
If you want to participate in the Community Day in December, it’s free. We will show you the most important information here on MeinMMO.
When does it start? The Community Day is on Saturday, December 18, and will be active all day.
The Community Day in November started with a time limit from 09:00 AM to 06:00 PM, but this has been removed for the December Com-Day, so the event runs all day.
What rewards are there?
With an increased chance, giant flowers will grow into Christmas stars when you plant regular blue, red, yellow, or white petals around them.
Seeds in your plant backpack grow 1.5 times faster than usual. If you plant flowers, you can further increase the speed.
If you reach 10,000 steps during the event, you will receive a special Christmas star flower medal for it.
This is what the Christmas star medal looks like that you can earn during the Community Day in December.
What you need to keep in mind: Niantic appeals to your “common sense” that you should use when taking on the 10,000 steps challenge. Remember, steps are also counted inside your house, and you can climb stairs or participate in the challenge on a treadmill, elliptical, or exercise bike.
Do you play Pikmin Bloom and use it to motivate your movement, or does the principle of the game not appeal to you at all? Let us know your opinion on this here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange with the community about it.

A trusted leaker believes that you will soon be less dependent on the Gacha system in Genshin Impact. Specifically, characters and weapons from the standard banner will become farmable. A system like this already exists in another miHoYo game.
As official information about the future of the game is rare, large parts of the Genshin Impact community rely on leaked information. This should always be treated with caution, of course. One of the most trusted leakers is a Twitter user with the pseudonym UBatcha.
This leaker shared new information on December 14, 2021. Even though he himself rates the credibility of this statement as “questionable,” the tweet catches the attention of Genshin fans:
What does the leaker say? We are translating the tweet for you into English:
[Questionable]
A method to obtain weapons and maybe characters from the standard banner. That would of course be without Gacha. The exact release date is unknown; it should ideally be released in mid-2022 if it happens.
According to the leak information, it could be possible to obtain characters and weapons without Gacha by mid-2022 at the earliest. This would specifically concern the characters and weapons obtained from the standard banner “Wanderlust”.
Methods to currently obtain characters and weapons
How to obtain characters currently? Currently, you can only obtain characters through 5 methods:
As a beginner, you will receive the characters Traveler, Amber, Kaeya, and Lisa through the first story missions.
Barbara and Xiangling are unlockable through quests.
Every month you can buy 2 characters with Stellar Glimmer in the Paimon Shop. The selection rotates monthly through 6 different fixed offers. In December, these are Barbara and Kaeya; in January, Fischl and Xiangling.
All other characters can only be obtained through the Gacha system.
With the change that the leaker expects, this would add a 6th method. Thus, there would be an alternative to the “predetermined fate” to obtain weapons and characters from the standard banner.
How to currently obtain weapons? Weapons are obtained in Genshin Impact through various small events, chests, or quests in the game. Additionally, you can receive some 4-star weapons from the paid Battle Pass or craft them for free at the blacksmith. The Paimon Shop also offers weapons in exchange for Stellar Glimmer.
Otherwise, you obtain weapons, like the characters, from the Gacha banners.
Getting certain things is expected to become much easier due to this change, especially since there is no increased probability for specific weapons and characters in the standard banner. Whether this potential change only applies to 4-star characters and weapons or whether rare 5-star characters could also be unlocked is unclear.
This information is pure speculation: Like all leaks, this information should be treated with caution – especially in this case. The leaker even directly addresses the many uncertain details and eventualities.
However, this speculation might turn out to be true: There is already a similar system in another game by the Genshin Impact developers: Honkai Impact 3rd.
Another miHoYo game allows crafting characters
Honkai Impact 3rd is another game developed by miHoYo. The game was released in 2016. Like Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact 3rd is a Gacha game; however, there has been a system for some time now that allows you to unlock characters without Gacha.
This is what the character crafting system looks like in Honkai Impact 3rd. Image source: Twitter
In Honkai Impact 3rd, you can unlock a character with sufficient “fragments.” You obtain these fragments – similar to Stardust and Stellar Glimmer in Genshin Impact – when you unlock something in Gacha. Additionally, you can purchase these fragments with items obtained from missions and events (via Twitter).
This system in Honkai Impact 3rd makes it easier for you to unlock your favorite characters. You are not completely reliant on the random Gacha system.
Whether this system will appear in Genshin Impact in this form or similarly is unclear. Even the leaker is not sure whether a Gacha-free unlocking of characters will ever be available in Genshin Impact.
What do you think of such a change? Would you like this system? Is there a specific character you just can’t get through the Gacha system, even though you really want him? Let us know in the comments.
Currently, Arataki Itto is the latest 5-star character. If you got lucky in the Gacha and pulled him, you can find a detailed guide here to help you get the most out of this fun Geo-DPS:
A new pet has arrived in the shop of World of Warcraft. Many players find the timing quite inappropriate.
Once again, a new pet has been added to the shop of World of Warcraft. A little faerie dragon named ‘Blinky’ is now available – and this annoys some people again.
What kind of pet is this? The new pet is named “Zwinki” (‘Blinky’) and is a small, cute faerie dragon. It is a new model, not just a small scaled version of the faerie dragons. The faerie dragon changes color from Red to Yellow and Blue and ultimately back to Red.
As usual, the pet costs 10 € and can also be used as a battle pet in pet battles. It is a dragon and uses abilities that are largely also found with other dragons and faerie dragons.
Zwinki, the new pet in World of Warcraft.
What is the problem? Shop items have always had a hard time in World of Warcraft – at least for a loud part of the community. Whenever something new lands in the in-game shop, some players note that this is quite inappropriate for an MMORPG that requires a subscription fee. After all, it would be outrageous to pay 13 euros a month, in addition to the cost of a new expansion, and then be asked to pay again for game content.
Accordingly, the feedback on nearly every shop item is quite negative.

Some point out that you can also ‘earn’ the shop rewards by unlocking real money currency with in-game gold through the WoW token, but the result remains the same: In the end, someone has to pay real money for the pet.

More deals in the shop: In addition to the new pet, Blizzard has also just launched a sale with special offers. Many mounts and pets are discounted, and there is a special dragon pack with lots of mounts and companions.
Whether it’s appropriate to be bringing new items to the shop every few weeks during the current period of content drought is, of course, a different matter.
Do you like this pet? Will you go for it? Or are you staying clear of shop items?

Twitch is increasingly becoming like television. At least that’s what streamer Asmongold explained to his fans during a livestream: He means the current hype of a TV show and the consequences of this hype. But what content can fans expect in the future?
What happened? In a stream on his secondary channel zackrawrr, the streamer talked about the possible future of Twitch content. The reason for this is the ongoing hype surrounding the TV show ‘MasterChef’.
Big streamers describe the show as incredibly funny and exciting, while they watch it live on Twitch with their viewers. Angry Asmongold, however, does not celebrate it at all, calling it a short-lived trend and making a prediction for the future of Twitch.
The future of Twitch is a mix of celebrity and streamer content
What does Asmongold say about the future of Twitch? During his livestream on December 16, the streamer shared his concerns about future content on Twitch. According to Asmongold, the entire meta for streamers is shifting away from traditional gaming. The future belongs to react content, celebrities, and TV shows:
Where is content going in the next few years? I believe that the focus is shifting more towards real-life content. Additionally, celebrity content will mix with the well-known internet content.
Asmongold also believes that watching MasterChef will not hold up as profitable content for long. Streamer Trainwreck is said to have received a DMCA strike two years ago for watching the show live with fans.
Asmongold is sure that the hype around MasterChef will die down as soon as the first streamer receives a ban or DMCA strike. All others will suddenly leave the sinking ship thereafter.

Are there any positive examples of TV content? Not directly from TV, but certainly inspired by it are events like the Angelcamp from Germany. This and other events are hosted by Twitch icon Jens ‘Knossi’ Knosalla.
As a classic example, the format ‘Love or Host’ should be mentioned (via youtube.com). In this Twitch show, there is a contestant who faces a series of streamers. One by one, the potential candidates are eliminated until only two possible dates for the contestant remain.
In the end, the two remaining participants decide whether they want a date or a host from the contestant.
It is difficult to say that Twitch is slowly developing into a mix of reality TV and familiar web content. For a long time, copies of TV formats have dominated the platform. Whether dating, quiz, or sports events, the origin of these livestreams is often found on television.

In Fortnite, skins are the most important aspect of the entire Battle Royale. Many players shine and show off with old, rare, and original skins. Now, the community sees poor prospects for 2022 regarding skin variations. We will show you more about it.
What’s the problem? On reddit, the community expresses its frustration over the ongoing reskin wave. Many new skin packs or offers from the item shop are reskins. These are original and popular outfits that are recolored and sold as new.
The current situation does not bode well for players. The Christmas event usually offered many cool and new outfit options that could be purchased in the item shop. However, in 2021, the offerings look overwhelming, even though Epic had prepared two skins to address the problem.
Fortnite releases reskins instead of contest skins
Epic Games held a concept contest from June 12 to July 15. There, fans of the shooter had the opportunity to showcase their creativity in the form of self-designed skins. Epic also offered a prize of $2,500 and the implementation in the game for the winter event 2021.
A Guardian of the Forest
An Icy Gunslinger
Two original skins that have not yet been released
As the winter event has now been released and leakers have revealed all new skins in the item shop and in the gifts, it becomes apparent that there is no trace of community ideas. Neither in the codes nor as leaked content do the concepts appear.
However, many reskins can be found. As a package offer in the item shop, but also in the data for the two free winter festival outfits.
Why Epic decided to release copies instead of the creative and new options from the community is unclear. However, the fact is that players have had enough of it and can no longer stand seeing these copies.
What do the players say about it? The community can no longer stand such copies. Many think they understand Epic’s intention behind it.
There are newcomers who have seen various models in skin lists that are interesting but cannot be earned because they are locked behind old battle passes.
They think that Epic wants to give new fans the chance to wear their favorite look in a modified form. Nevertheless, this is not an excuse for letting original and creative skins disappear. This is what a reddit user says about it:
The only ones who benefit from this bundle are people who didn’t get the original Midas or were disappointed that Shadow Midas didn’t have the touch effect.
But here’s the truth: As long as there is a demand for a skin, you can expect that as many reskins as possible will be made for it. Because Epic loves $$$. It’s the consequence of the business model “FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)”. That’s why I am neutral towards reskins, as this is an indirect consequence of this poorly constructed system.
It’s noticeable that players’ patience is slowly but surely running out. Alternatively, many designs from the community could be used. Many ambitious and creative minds are active in the community and post their concept ideas in forums daily. Responses to these are rarely seen or not at all.
What do you think about this issue? Do you find the current situation in Fortnite dramatic or do you not care? Let us know in the comments!
