New weapon from Fortnite is not a firearm, but a throwing axe – Are Vikings coming now?

In Fortnite, new weapons are occasionally forged that contribute to refreshing the gameplay. Leakers have now made an interesting find that presents a new weapon. We at MeinMMO show you all the details.

What kind of weapon is it? Leakers in Fortnite found a weapon model in the game’s data. This weapon is a throwing axe that resembles that of a Viking. This axe is said to be a throwable item and can likely be thrown at any conceivable target.

In appearance, the weapon is curved and adorned with stickers from the Fortnite world. The handle is made of wood and is wrapped with a leather strap at the grip area. Additionally, the axe has a sore muscle pendant and its blade is tinted light blue.

The throwing axe could suit Christmas

Fortnite officially announced that Chapter 2 is coming to an end. Players should prepare for the live event that will start soon. Coinciding with the end of Chapter 2, Chapter 3 will start in winter, and fitting for the winter event.

In terms of appearance, this weapon would fit the winter conditions. This axe would be the 19th item belonging to the category of throwing weapons.

What can the axe do? That is still unknown. The only certain information about the weapon is its appearance and the fact that it is indeed a weapon. However, some cool features are possible, such as:

  • Target tracking when thrown
  • Chained damage (hits nearby enemies in succession)
  • Explosion upon impact
  • Area damage in the form of a shockwave
  • The axe can split into several smaller axes when thrown
  • A feature that allows you to recall the axe after throwing it

Could Vikings be coming? This thought cannot be entirely ruled out. Vikings have also been present in Fortnite in the form of skins. Since Chapter 3 will start in winter and Vikings would fit well with this setting of snow and ice, more skins or even multiple Viking weapons are quite possible.

Unfortunately, this is only speculation, and we will learn more when Chapter 3 is ready for download.

What do you think about the new weapon? Do you believe it will find its way into the new chapter? Let us know in the comments what you think!

Gaming platform Roblox sues a YouTuber for 1.4 million euros

Roblox (PC, Xbox One, iOS, Android) is a gaming platform that is especially popular among children, teenagers, and investors. On Tuesday, the company behind the platform filed a lawsuit in a California court: They are suing the YouTuber Benjamin “Ruben Sim” Simon (24) for $1.6 million in damages. He is said to finally stop harassing Roblox players and developers.

What are the allegations against the YouTuber?

  • The YouTuber “Ruben Sim” (766,000 subscribers) is portrayed as the leader of a cyber mob that has caused trouble in Roblox for years.
  • It is said that the YouTuber has been banned from the platform for years. He was kicked off for harassing other users, using homophobic and racist slurs, and uploading photos of Adolf Hitler. Roblox also accuses him of sexual harassment.
  • However, he keeps gaining access to Roblox by using other accounts, according to the company’s lawyers.

Threat of Terror Against Roblox Developer Conference

That is the probably most serious accusation: Roblox’s lawyers accuse the YouTuber of ensuring, through terror threats, that the Roblox developer conference had to temporarily close in October.

It is said that Simon posted on Twitter that the police in San Francisco should look out for “notorious Islamic terrorists” at the conference. 

Roblox states that they spent $50,000 alone to investigate the false reports that the YouTuber and his “cyber mob” circulated among followers.

The YouTube videos by Ruben Simon reach millions of users.

Other allegations include:

  • He glorified the shooting at YouTube’s headquarters on April 3, 2018, and hinted that something similar could happen at Roblox’s headquarters
  • He attempted to upload nude pictures of himself with only minimal coverage of his genitals
  • He tried to upload a sex game
  • He attempted to upload a picture of Hitler

How does the YouTuber respond to the lawsuit? He consciously does not want to comment on it to make it easier for his lawyers. Once the lawsuit is over, he will tell “his side of the story”.

Ruben Sim says he will continue to upload videos.

https://twitter.com/realRubenSim/status/1463632795750653952
The statement from Ruben Sim came on the night of November 24 to 25.

Roblox involves billions of US dollars – security is extremely important

Why is the case so significant for Roblox? Roblox is a relatively open platform where creative people can create content that others can buy and play. It is also a type of marketplace. Creative people can earn good money there.

The company is worth an enormous amount on the stock market, at times worth more than Activision Blizzard, the massive gaming corporation. The concept of a digital marketplace where users create content for others and can make money from it is one of the big trends currently. This is also referred to as the “Leisure Economy.”

For such a network and the company behind it, it is essential that no inappropriate content is uploaded – especially because the platform is primarily used by children and teenagers. This has been set as an important goal. It is said that 2000 “real people” are looking for content that violates the platform rules and moderating it. Nonetheless, inappropriate content seems to continually slip through.

Now, with a lawsuit for a high damage sum, Roblox apparently also wants to set an example.

Massive bugs paralyze the Pacific event in CoD Warzone and Vanguard – Fans ask: “Why?”

In Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone should actually have an event to get excited about the upcoming Pacific map in Warzone. However, due to massive issues, the developers had to take the event “Secrets of the Pacific” offline after just one hour. Find out here on MeinMMO what happened and what comes next.

Update: The event is working again, you can find a guide to the Pacific event here.

What was this event about? In the multiplayer mode of CoD Vanguard and in Warzone, a special event for the new Pacific map in Warzone was supposed to start on November 24, 2021. In “Secrets of the Pacific,” 12 challenges were supposed to be offered in both games. In Warzone, players had to visit certain locations, for example.

There were double XP tokens and the chance to earn a special legendary blueprint for the powerful STG44 assault rifle.

Players were in good spirits and motivated on the evening of November 24, ready to start. But then everything turned out differently.

Players wonder how this small event can cause so much trouble

What went wrong? Massive game problems ruined the fun for everyone. The event was hardly playable, as the game was constantly crashing. The exact cause was not clearly identified. Some players claimed that the notorious attack dogs were to blame, as the crash would always occur when someone released the dogs.

According to other reports, however, it was not the dogs but something else. The developers were apparently unable to identify the error immediately and therefore had to throw in the towel. After not even one hour, the event and the associated challenges had to be removed from the game.

What do players say? Many players are expressing their frustration on Twitter. They don’t understand how an event that consists of just a dozen challenges can cause such massive problems.

Imagine adding an “event” to the game that literally changes nothing about gameplay or anything similar, and still manages to ruin the game.

James Herbert via Twitter

Additionally, many people are annoyed that something is always broken or just annoying in Vanguard. One player is still frustrated that you can summon the already annoying dogs multiple times because an item is buggy.

What do the developers say? The developers have stated via Twitter that they are on it and are working as quickly as possible on a solution. They will let players know when everything is working again.

However, time is running out for them, as the event is only supposed to last until December 8, 2021. After a delay, the new Pacific map in Warzone is set to go live and Vanguard is to merge with Warzone.

New World: Players miss items after rollback – Developers explain what happened

New World has been struggling with problems since its new update on November 24th. First, players had too much gold, and now they are missing their items. The developers are working on it but warn that it might take longer.

These are the current issues: New World received an update on Wednesday, November 24th. In this update, many players were supposed to get their money back for certain actions. However, this led to some problems.

Right after the update, many fans found huge amounts of coins in their pockets that they shouldn’t have had. This apparently is due to a bug in the distribution of compensation.

With this money, several players completely cleaned out the trading post – literally. On some servers, there was nothing left to buy. The developers responded with a rollback that restored the servers to a state before the patch.

This required further maintenance work that lasted until the night of Wednesday to Thursday. Now, however, many players are complaining in the official forum that they are suddenly missing items that they had before the patch.

Start video
New World: New trailer shows the contents of the first major patch

Trading Post Disabled – Items to Return Later

This is what the developers say: The rollback resets the servers to a point before the update. Furthermore, the trading post is currently disabled, as explained by developer Lane in a blog post – in the German forum translated by Community Manager Tosch. This has also led to items or coins now being missing.

However, the lost items have not completely disappeared, but are currently in a kind of “limbo”. Once the issue with the trading post is resolved, the missing items are to be returned.

However, this may take a while, as Lane explains. The post states:

We are already working on resetting the trading post contracts, but we cannot yet estimate how much time it will take. […]

To be clear: no items are lost when the trading post is disabled. All seemingly missing items will be restored after the data operation on the trading post.

Some few players who used one of the server transfers at the time of the rollback also had no access to their character anymore. However, this problem should have already been resolved by now. Simultaneously, there is already a plan for the future to address one of the biggest points of criticism:

von Alexander Leitsch

When will the trading post return? So far, there is no specific time for when the trading post and thus the supposedly lost items will return. The last maintenance took about 10 hours. So it is possible that the problem will still be resolved later today.

The developers are working to ensure that as few inconveniences as possible arise for the players. Already with the last problem involving gold dupers, Amazon found a solution that should be satisfactory for most fair players:

League of Legends: A professional player from Schalke dies at just 23 years old

On League of Legends, professional player Pavle “Yoppa” Kostić passed away on November 23, at the age of 23. The Serbian top-laner last played for the youth team of Schalke 04 in LoL. According to a Balkan e-sports league, he died from complications related to the viral illness Covid 19.

The Esports Balkan League is one of the regional leagues of LoL in the Masters division. The league shared an article from a Serbian news site on November 24, which reported on Yoppa’s death due to complications from the virus “Covid-19”. The Serbian was only 23 years old.

It is said that the death came unexpectedly.

Yoppa was considered the first Serbian to “make it” in LoL

In the announcement, Yoppa is described as “one of the most promising players in our region”; he was the first Serbian to reach first place among the Challengers on the EUW server and one of the first Serbians to make it into international teams.

Player was looking for a new team just 10 days ago

The tragic part is that the league’s Twitter account posted a picture of Yoppa just a week prior, showing him going through all his contract offers to indicate how sought after Yoppa was in the transfer market.

On November 16, Yoppa posted on Twitter that he was looking for a new professional team.

Where did he play? Yoppa was contracted with various lower-tier LoL teams or academy teams over the past years. In 2019, he had a spot on the roster of MAD Lions, the current top team in the LEC, which played in the lower tiers at that time. Last year they became champions of the LEC.

In 2020, he was with Vitality.Bee and in 2021 with Schalke Evolution.

He left the Schalke team on November 16. Schalke sold its professional spot in the league for financial reasons, and is likely to completely rebrand for 2022.

Many others who knew Yoppa are also expressing their grief and shock on Twitter over the death of the 23-year-old. One person said: He just can’t believe it. He had spoken with Yoppa just a few days ago, and Yoppa said his Covid symptoms were already improving.

In 2019, during the Christmas season, we reported on MeinMMO that a professional female LoL player died at the age of 24:

Genshin Impact: YouTubers fight each other in PvP, even though it doesn’t exist

The community and content creators of Genshin Impact keep coming up with something new: This time, YouTuber Tony “Tony To” Ga Had hosted a PvP event in the game’s endgame dungeon. MyMMO reveals how it was held.

In Genshin Impact, there is usually no PvP content; the game is entirely focused on PvE. Even in the endgame dungeon, the winding abyss (Abyss), there are no official leaderboards regarding time or player damage output.

YouTuber Tony To nevertheless created a PvP event, the “Golden Creator Cup: Pyro Puppet Prix,” in which various other content creators and commentators participated.

Who is Tony To? Tony To regularly posts content and meme videos about Genshin Impact. However, he mostly shows how strong individual characters are when you invest time and money into the game.

On his YouTube channel, Tony To published the PvP event, which was commented on by player Zanto and Genshin YouTuber xf3 while the participants competed against each other.

Who are the participants of the event? Four content creators for Genshin Impact participated in the Golden Creator Cup and formed two teams:

  • Team Baron
    • IWinToLose Gaming
    • Windy
  • Team Guoba
    • Sawa
    • Crit

Each of them uploads showcases of characters and their damage potential. Some videos are only a few seconds long, while others include comprehensive analyses and comparisons.

This is how the PvP event in Genshin Impact unfolded

In the PvP event, the 2 teams, each consisting of two members, were to compete against each other. They had to complete the entire twelfth floor of the winding abyss as quickly as possible.

The twelfth floor consists of 3 rooms, each containing 2 different sections. Each team member had to complete one section per room, making a total of three attempts.

During this, the individual team members competed against each other in a race against time. The team that could complete the entire twelfth floor the fastest won the Golden Creator Cup.

What rules were there? To spice up the event a bit, there were additional rules for the participants:

  • Each team can alternately ban 4 characters and 4 weapons so that they may not be used by either team.
  • A maximum of three 5-star weapons may be equipped on the characters.
  • A maximum of 10 fully leveled artifacts may be equipped on the characters. The remaining artifacts must be at level 0.

However, there were no rules regarding maximum refinements of weapons and constellations of characters.

At the beginning, the first ban phase took place. After 4 bans from each team were distributed, they were allowed to choose 4 characters that they had to use in all 3 rooms.

Then the second ban phase occurred, where another 4 bans were distributed. Finally, the participants were allowed to select the last 4 characters. The various ban and pick phases and special rules required strategic thinking from the content creators.

Within the teams, decisions had to be made about who would use which characters, as these could not be swapped afterward.

After that, all participants delivered exciting and fast-paced battles. However, we won’t reveal who won in the end and how they did it.

The PvP event thrilled community members and received a lot of praise. What do you think about it? Do you find it creative, or do you have even better ideas for such PvP events? Feel free to share in the comments.

WoW: The famous panda ‘Doubleagent’ gets its own Hearthstone card

One of the most famous players of World of Warcraft is getting his own Hearthstone card. The legendary “Doubleagent” will soon be making waves.

Hearthstone is often a slightly more relaxed version of the Warcraft universe, filled with many little references and jokes that have been in World of Warcraft for many years. With the latest expansion “Divided in Alterac Valley”, this tradition continues. For one of the most well-known Pandaren players from World of Warcraft is now getting his own card: Doubleagent.

Who is Doubleagent? Most players should already be familiar with the Pandaren Doubleagent, as we’ve reported on him from time to time over the past few years. Doubleagent was the first Pandaren to set out to reach the maximum level – without joining the Horde or the Alliance. This is done by never leaving the starting island as a Pandaren.

Once all quests are completed, players can still earn some XP through daily pet battle quests. Then it’s just a matter of picking herbs and mining ores, which provide a very small amount of XP each time. An endeavor that takes many, many weeks of gameplay.

Hearthstone Double Agent
The “Double Agent” in “Divided in Alterac Valley”.

Over the years, “Doubleagent” has found many imitators who also visited him on the Pandaren starting island and emulated him. So now there are neutral Pandaren on many realms who, while theoretically could participate in WoW’s endgame, practically belong to no faction.

What kind of card is this in Hearthstone? In the latest Hearthstone expansion “Divided in Alterac Valley”, Doubleagent now receives an honor, as one of the new rogue cards is a clear reference to him. It is named “Double Agent” and shows a Pandaren tearing the tabard of the Horde – for underneath lies a tabard of the Alliance. His “flavor text” then explains: “And under the tabard of the Alliance? Another tabard of the Horde.”

In the game, he is a 3/3 minion for 3 mana, who summons another copy of himself as a battle cry, provided the player has at least one card from another class in hand.

By the way, Doubleagent was previously immortalized in World of Warcraft. In the Monk Order Hall, you can occasionally see his character bustling around in the background as he mines for ores.

What do you think of this honor? Well deserved and a cool detail? Or does it not belong in the game?

Design Chief leaves Battlefield 2042 shortly after bumpy release – Was already “planned” for longer

Fawzi Mesmar, the design head of Battlefield 2042, is leaving DICE. This news comes shortly after a tumultuous release. MeinMMO explains the background.

As reported by VGC, this decision was communicated to the development team of Battlefield 2042 via email (via VGC). This step had been planned for a longer time.

In the email, Fawzi Mesmar writes: “It has been an absolute pleasure to work with the best design team in the galaxy. The incredible work you are doing here inspires me every day.”

Why is the developer leaving? Mesmar has accepted an offer from another company. He speaks of a decision that had been planned even before the launch of Battlefield 2042:

Another company made me an offer that I couldn’t refuse, and was kind enough to keep this position open for me until after the release of [Battlefield 2042]. It was very important to me to be here with the team while we create this historic milestone.

Fawzi Mesmar, former design head at DICE, in his farewell email

Mesmar joined in 2019 from King, the studio behind Candy Crush. Since then, he has been the ‘Head of Design’ at DICE. Mesmar was therefore the head of the design teams for Battlefield 2042, Star Wars Battlefront II, and Battlefield V. 

More on the topic
Battlefield 2042 had a rough start, but how is it going for you?
von Tarek Zehrer

When is the developer leaving? Mesmar will leave DICE on November 26. His email indicates that his successor is already determined and will be announced soon. 

EA has confirmed Mesmar’s departure to VGC: “Fawzi Mesmar is leaving DICE at the end of the week. We wish him the best for his future.”

Players mock his career

On reddit, players mock Fawzi Mesmar’s career. In particular, his past as a developer of Candy Crush generates a lot of excitement:

  • “The design head of the new Battlefield comes from the Candy Crush development team? No wonder the game turned out to be trash.” (ayNynYoonit on reddit)
  • “He was obviously unqualified for the job, and it’s no wonder we got garbage when DICE makes a mobile game developer the design head.” (No-Win-2468 on reddit)
  • “A new announcement is coming soon, the guy who hired him is getting fired.” (Lincolns_Revenge on reddit)

Fawzi Mesmar was already part of DICE during the development of Star Wars Battlefront II and Battlefield V. His email also indicates that his departure had been set before the release of Battlefield 2042. He stated that he is therefore leaving DICE independently of the reactions surrounding the release of the game.

Departure comes at turbulent times

Mesmar’s departure comes at a time of great turbulence for DICE: Battlefield 2042 received mixed reviews from critics and was torn apart by users on Steam. The developers reportedly even received death threats. 

What does this mean for Battlefield 2042? Personnel changes like this are not uncommon in the gaming industry. Mesmar’s departure appears to have been planned for some time, as has his succession. It is therefore not expected that this personnel change will affect long-term plans for Battlefield 2042 after the release.

The release of Battlefield 2042 reportedly went better for DICE than that of Battlefield V:

The release of Battlefield 2042 is going better than its predecessor, it is said to have “millions” of players

Black Friday 2021: Is it worth buying a second monitor for gaming and home office?

It is Black Friday and some of you may be considering whether to buy a second monitor for your setup. MeinMMO explains why a second monitor could be a worthwhile investment for gaming and home office.

In many offices, multiple monitors are often present at the desk, and it is no longer uncommon in the home either. Presumably, some of you have also thought about getting a second monitor.

But what do two monitors or a dual monitor setup actually bring me? MeinMMO presents the pros and cons and explains for whom and why a second monitor could be beneficial.

Two monitors increase productivity and save time

What’s the case for a second monitor? More screen space better mimics our natural field of vision. This generally feels more comfortable for the eyes. Curved monitors also replicate our visual field.

A setup with multiple monitors can be worthwhile for three reasons, especially when you want to not only game on your setup but also use it for work:

  • You can open several workspaces side by side, saving time in the process. For example, you can type text on the right while viewing the email you want to reply to on the left. Searching for information across many windows and clicking back and forth is eliminated.
  • You can keep an eye on your colleagues during a conversation while following a presentation on the other monitor.
  • You have more organization on your desktop, as you can spread your content across multiple spaces.

Another advantage is that you can easily use a dual monitor setup with a laptop as well.

Some games offer advantages when you have a second monitor. For example, Battlefield 4 provides a battlescreen where you can see important information like a real-time strategy map while you move on the other monitor.

A second monitor is important if you want to start streaming

Here’s how a second monitor can help: If you want to start streaming, you need to do many things simultaneously. It becomes cumbersome as soon as you have to open and manage different windows on your monitor while constantly checking the chat between gaming sessions.

A second monitor simplifies the situation significantly:

  • You can place a video or the chat on one screen while gaming on the other monitor.
  • Or you can interact with your viewers while gaming or watching the mentioned video.
  • Alternatively, you can also place important streaming tools on the second monitor. You will definitely save yourself frantic movements when things need to be done quickly.

If you are looking for more accessories for your streaming career alongside a second monitor, we have some additional tips for you on MeinMMO. In our overview, we present what equipment you need:

5 things you need for a good streaming room

A gaming monitor that currently ranks among the best devices in the Full HD range is the Asus TUF Gaming VG279QM:

What are the disadvantages of two monitors?

More space required: In principle, you should be aware that a second monitor requires space. If you already have a small desk and don’t have room to mount the monitors, a second monitor may be difficult for you.

Of course, to avoid the problem, you can also combine a large monitor with a smaller device.

More distraction: Also a downside can be the additional distraction. If you’re opening your feed on your second monitor or checking what your best friend had for breakfast this morning, this can distract you from really important tasks.

Moreover, you can and must process more information at once than if you are only looking at one screen.

Additional costs: For a dual monitor setup, you need to invest extra money. Depending on what kind of monitor you already have and whether you want to have the same model again, the costs vary.

In principle, you also need to consider that you will connect the second monitor to your computer at all. You may need a second cable or an adapter if you only have one HDMI port on your motherboard or laptop.

Ultrawide vs. dual monitor – An alternative?

What speaks for the ultrawide monitor: As an alternative to two small monitors, you could also use a large monitor.

While you often use two 16:9 screens in a dual-monitor setup, the ultrawide screen is just one device, without annoying interruptions in the middle.

The resolution is generally a bit lower than if you place two Full HD monitors next to each other, but you can see everything directly without having to constantly turn your head when you want to glance at something on your second monitor.

Additionally, a large monitor is more compactly arranged than two larger monitors. Another advantage is that you only need one HDMI or DisplayPort connection when you want to connect the monitor.

The Samsung C49HG90DMR from the Odyssey series is currently one of the best-known widescreen monitors and is already available in early Black Friday offers for around 800 euros.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

According to the renowned online magazine rtings.com, one of the best ultrawide monitors for gamers is the LG 34GN850-B (via rtings.com). Here you get, according to the testers, an excellent response time on a 144 Hz panel and low input lag. However, the contrasts are not perfect, which is typical for an IPS panel.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

What speaks against it: Two small screens are also more flexible to use. For example, you can rotate many monitors vertically and use them that way. This is helpful if you want to open and read documents or long chat histories. Theoretically, it is even possible to combine different sized monitors.

A point against ultrawide monitors is that you get ultrawide resolutions in the range of 21:9. However, many programs and websites are designed for 16:9. When gaming or doing other tasks, black borders are then left. An alternative would be to go directly for a 32:9 monitor. However, you currently pay at least 700 euros and more, as is the case for the Samsung C49HG90DMR, where the price is around 800 euros.

A large monitor is often significantly more expensive, especially if you do not want to forgo certain features or high refresh rates for gaming.

WoW: Classic players want to be “hardcore”, but one brings them all down

The hardcore dream for many players of World of Warcraft ends quickly. Because one brings the hardcore fans down – by kiting a dragon to Stormwind.

In World of Warcraft Classic, “Season of Mastery” started a few days ago, which brings some very special features. In addition to tougher bosses and more XP for group quests, there is also a “hardcore” mode where players must never die.

But this calls in people who want to thwart exactly that – and thus a “WoW legend” is currently causing chaos on the Classic servers.

What is the “hardcore” mode? In the “Season of Mastery”, players can pick up a special buff, the “Iron Soul”. This buff indicates whether a character has died at any point in the game or has never been defeated. If the character is killed – no matter how – the “Iron Soul” buff is lost and can never be regained. This buff is essentially an indicator for hardcore players – as they have only one life; after that, they lose this buff.

What has happened? Many players with “hardcore” ambitions may have met a sudden end when suddenly a dragon rampaged, roasting players in dozens in the middle of Stormwind.

The player Frond, also known as Taestiranos, has made it his mission to lead the boss dragon “Teremus the Devourer” to Stormwind. The dragon is actually based in the Blasted Lands but can be drawn all the way to Stormwind. Although it takes nearly 20 minutes, the resulting chaos rewards the effort.

The dragon not only hits hard in melee but also breathes fire on all enemies within a radius of 35 meters approximately every 50 seconds. This causes extremely high damage and simultaneously heals Teremus by a large amount. If not enough level 60 players assemble, the dragon rampages until he is manually reset or simply has no one left on his aggro list.

Frond is now so skilled that he can kite Teremus for nearly infinite time, bringing death and destruction to Stormwind for a long time.

Especially at the beginning of the Season of Mastery, where few players are still level 60, he can farm a lot of kills – by the way, he is already doing this at level 39. A pretty impressive achievement when considering that Teremus could probably take his life with a melee attack.

How players have reacted to him after the first day, he has captured in a large image – from promises to name the first child Frond to vicious threats, everything is included (click to enlarge):

WoW Fond Flames and Devotion
The result of just one evening with Teremus. Image source: reddit.com/r/classicwow/

Frond is a legend: Frond is not really a newcomer who has just started with “kiting Teremus” – he has been doing this for years. On many English-speaking realms, he is a legend and is even revered by many for his endurance.

Even though some repeatedly react angrily to this troll action, many more players celebrate what he keeps doing. According to his own statements, he receives messages in a ratio of about 70:30. About 70% of the people cheer him on and are excited, while 30% insult him and are hostile.

What one may think of Frond’s behavior and his fire-breathing friend in tow is something everyone must decide for themselves. It is impressive, however, with what endurance he pulls this off.

Thus, the hardcore mode has become even harder.

At the launch of Classic, Frond has already done this…

LoL pro ends his career after debacle at Worlds 2020, now returns

Player Soren “Bjergsen” Bjerg (25) ended his career in League of Legends in 2020. At that time, his American team was eliminated from the Worlds with 0 wins and 6 losses. Now he is returning and will play for a direct competitor of his former team.

This is the situation:

  • Bjergsen was one of the most well-known and popular LoL players in the West. He played in Europe from early 2012 until the end of 2013, but was then brought to the USA by Team SoloMid.
  • There he won several championships and was even named MVP four times.
  • However, in 2020, the World Championship ended in catastrophe. TSM was knocked out of the tournament with 6 losses and not a single win. Subsequently, Bjergsen ended his career, but became the coach for TSM.
  • After a season as a coach, which went only moderately well, he left TSM. There were rumors that he might resume his career and even move back to Europe. But now it is officially confirmed how things will go for Bjergsen.

Bjergsen plays in the LCS again in 2022 and wants to win

Where will Bjergsen play in the future? Team Liquid, a direct competitor of TSM in the American LCS, has announced the signing of Bjergsen. He will not be active as a coach there but as a player again.

In an introductory video, Bjergsen revealed why he chose Team Liquid: “Team Liquid is similar to me in many ways. They really want to win. Winning is their top priority.”

Does Bjergsen have a chance for international success? Team Liquid is one of the stronger teams in the LCS. Since 2018, they have participated in the Worlds every year, albeit with little success. However, none of the American teams have succeeded in recent years.

According to the professional DoinB, who became the World Champion in LoL in 2019, this is mainly due to the fact that many “old players” are in America. Instead of young talents, only well-known professionals are being shuffled around. This is exactly the case with Bjergsen, who at 25 is already considered “old” in LoL.

In Korea and China, on the other hand, rookies constantly make life difficult for the established players. Some of the strongest players at the last World Championship include Canyon (20) and Showmaker (21) from the runner-up DWG Kia or Viper (21) from the world champion EDward Gaming. All of them are significantly younger than Bjergsen.

Whether Bjergsen will be successful at the next World Championship with his move to Team Liquid is questionable.

Bjergsen replaces mid laner who is even older than himself

What happens to Jensen? Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen was the previous mid laner at Team Liquid. He will turn 27 years old on January 1, 2022, and received a record contract offered by his team at the end of 2020. He was to receive a total of 4.2 million dollars over 3 years.

However, it seems his contract is now ending prematurely. He posted on Twitter: “Who wants me” with two sad emojis at the end.

In general, transfer activity is currently revolving around the LoL teams. Until the start of the new season, teams can reassemble and recruit players.

Particularly interesting could be the European team Vitality. Because there, several veterans from Europe, who played in the USA last year, are now gathering:

Release of Battlefield 2042 runs better than its predecessor, is said to have ‘millions’ of players

In a blog post by developer DICE, we got our first indication of how well Battlefield 2042 actually sold at launch. It is said to be more successful than its predecessor Battlefield V.

The developers say at launch: In the official blog post, which mainly discussed the upcoming update and the roadmap for Battlefield 2042, DICE directly thanked the players for the successful release.

According to them, “millions” of players are playing Battlefield 2042. Nearly twice as many players are said to be active compared to the predecessor Battlefield V.

The blog post states: “Just a few days after the global launch of Battlefield 2042, there are already millions of players among you. We are excited to see so many of you back on the battlefield – almost double the number from our last release.”

This may come as a surprise to some observers, as the fan feedback and reviews regarding the launch of Battlefield 2042 have been at least mixed.

Battlefield 2042 more successful than the predecessor despite criticism

How many copies has Battlefield 2042 sold? So far, there are no exact numbers, but based on DICE’s statements, one can at least make an estimate.

  • As reported by MeinMMO at the time, Battlefield V sold around 1.9 million copies at launch in November 2018 according to estimates from Superdata.
  • Combining this figure with the statement that Battlefield 2042 has “almost double the number” of players, one can assume numbers between 3 and 4 million.
  • However, one must consider that players with EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can also play the shooter. This likely gave the numbers a significant boost.

Interestingly, Battlefield V lagged far behind the numbers of its predecessor, Battlefield 1.

How did it go back then with Battlefield V? The predecessor of Battlefield 2042 also recorded numerous sales at launch but was relatively weak compared to earlier titles in the series and had issues even in pre-sales.

  • There was also much criticism at the time regarding both the content and the technical condition.
  • Battlefield V managed to sell around 8 million copies in the first two months after release but fell short of expectations.
  • EA attributed this back then to the lack of a Battle Royale.
  • An analyst also cited other factors such as the negative feedback from the community, the “limited campaign,” and missing co-op elements as responsible.

According to DICE’s statements, Battlefield 2042 could become more successful than Battlefield V. Whether the critical voices will throw a wrench into that remains to be seen.

How was Battlefield 2042 received? The shooter launched with numerous technical and gameplay issues. On Steam, the shooter was literally torn apart and landed in the first days among the worst-rated games. However, in line with the statement, it is also one of the most played titles.

Even on Metacritic, the reviews are rather mixed, with gaming magazines rating Battlefield 2042 at a metascore of 73. This makes Battlefield 2042 one of the lowest-rated installments on Metacritic. The user score of 2.3 is also devastating.

The upcoming updates are supposed to fix it

What’s next for Battlefield 2042? In the blog post, the developers discuss the upcoming updates. Update #2 is set to be released tomorrow, November 24, and will address some of the major issues that are currently annoying players.

This includes the spread on some weapons, which predominantly affects assault rifles. Additionally, the OP hovercrafts and some annoying bugs will be tackled.

Update #3 is expected to follow in early December and will include over 200 improvements, of which we have summarized the most important for you:

Allegedly, Sony is giving you a cool co-op title for PS4 and PS5 in December 2021

According to a leak, you will get a fun co-op title with PS Plus in December 2021 for a few cold winter evenings. MeinMMO introduces the title and explains why it might be worth it for you.

So far, there have been several leaks regarding PS Plus in December 2021. One of them is said to be a cool co-op title that could be worth it, especially for the cold winter evenings. MeinMMO presents the game and explains who might find it worthwhile. It seems that Sony has accidentally confirmed the leaks for PS Plus in December 2021.

A Lego game where you can finally play the villains

What kind of game is it? In the Lego game “Lego DC Super-Villains”, you take on the roles of well-known DC villains like the Joker, Harley Quinn, or Deadshot and fight your way through various locations.

The Lego game offers many familiar contents that Lego fans will likely recognize:

  • A story with 15 chapters that you can complete. Afterwards, you can replay the levels with free characters and discover more secrets.
  • The game also features a small open world where you can find side quests and other things.
  • In addition, there are more than 150 minifigures available for you, which you can unlock one by one, each with their own special abilities.

Like every Lego game, “Lego DC Super-Villains” also offers a local co-op mode.

What else is special about the game? You can watch the official launch trailer for the game on YouTube. Here you can also listen to an absolute highlight of the game: Both in English and German, the voice actors are top-notch.

If you are proficient in English, you should definitely switch the game to English, as the Joker is voiced by Mark Hamill and Batman by Kevin Conroy.

Lego games are twice as fun in co-op

What kind of co-op is this? Like every Lego game, you can also play Lego DC Super-Villains in couch co-op. Lego games do not offer online multiplayer; you can only play the game together on one console.

Together, you can then fight your way through the 15 chapters in split-screen, solving puzzles and building, which can get quite chaotic as usual for Lego. This is also due to the strange camera control that accompanies every known Lego game as faithfully as the humor and the many references.

MMORPG Black Desert plans a major “restart of the classes” for 2021 – almost every class will be revised

Black Desert currently offers 23 different classes. However, the majority of them are not well-balanced, partly because new classes are becoming increasingly unique and powerful. A major update is expected in December, which will revise 17 of these classes.

What exactly will be revised? According to the developers, the classes will be adjusted in various areas, including:

  • Damage
  • Survivability
  • Attack range
  • Accuracy

The goal is to adjust the older classes so that they do not perform “below average” compared to the newer classes. The focus will primarily be on abilities that are rarely used to make them more useful in the future.

Just in spring 2021, the new class Seer was released, which many consider extremely strong. It has a lot of AoE, abilities with 100% crit chance, and can teleport. Many old classes cannot compete.

When will the update be released? The release is scheduled for December 15 in Korea and for the SEA servers on December 22. It is very likely that the changes will also come to us on December 22.

A detailed announcement about the adjustments will be posted in the coming days. So far, there is only this teaser:

Black Desert Class Reboot

17 classes will be revised

Which classes are affected? The adjustments primarily affect the classes that were released before 2020:

  • Tamer
  • Dark Knight
  • Warrior
  • Kunoichi
  • Lahn
  • Maehwa
  • Wizard
  • Witch
  • Musa
  • Ninja
  • Mystic
  • Giant
  • Ranger
  • Dark Mage
  • Striker
  • Valkyrie
  • Ranger

von Alexander Leitsch

Is it worth starting with the changes? Essentially, it’s always worth starting with Black Desert when a new season starts.

Then you will receive an XP boost with a new character, gain useful equipment faster, and PvP is temporarily disabled until you move to one of the main servers.

Such a season is expected to start again in December/January and represents an ideal time to play one of the revised or one of the new classes.

How good these seasons really are has been revealed by a BDO veteran:

Halo Infinite: 1st live event is being criticized – „Terrible way to conduct an event“

The “Fracture: Tenrai” event is supposed to be the grand kickoff of Season 1 in Halo Infinite. With the announcement of the schedule, however, fans have expressed significant criticism. The reason: You cannot unlock all rewards at once.

What kind of event is this? The Tenrai event offers various rewards that can be unlocked through a special playlist and event challenges.

  • There is a special progress tree with 30 levels. This event pass is free.
  • The rewards include cosmetic items such as colors, weapon skins, and two special Spartan armors designed in the Japanese samurai style.
  • There will be a total of 6 separate event weeks. This week, you have access to a part of the event challenges. If you complete these, you will receive a portion of the event rewards.
  • These challenges revolve around the mode Tenrai – Fiesta, which is only available during the respective event weeks.

However, the fact that you only get part of the challenges and only part of the rewards has led to some confusion among players, and some do not take it well. We summarize what exactly is being criticized.

Players are eager for rewards, want to unlock everything without restrictions

What is the reason for the anger? A debate has erupted on Twitter under the event announcement. Some players also feel that developer 343 wants to stretch the content of Season 1 “Heroes of Reach.”

They believe that progress is being time-restricted so that players do not unlock everything after just one or two weeks. This is a “terrible way to run an event.” (via Twitter)

However, some players argue that this is just the way it is in a free-to-play game with a battle pass concept. Many Halo veterans are simply not used to it yet.

What does 343 say about the discussion? The developers have already responded to player feedback. They will listen closely to the feedback and use it to improve such events (via pcgamer.com).

What rewards are there actually? Throughout the event, the following cosmetics can be unlocked:

  • Torii Reflection – Epic Backdrop
  • Gatekeeper – Legendary Shoulder Pads
  • Rare Samurai Nameplate & Emblems
  • Sol Devil – Legendary Weapon Coating (MA40 AR)
  • Whispered Sky – Epic Weapon Coating (Sidekick and BR75 Battle Rifle)
  • Spring Blossom Filter – Legendary Helmet Attachment
  • Swordsman’s Belt – Legendary Utility for Yoroi Armor Core

In the first week, emblems and a new armor core will be available at level 5.

Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is well-received by players, but there is also criticism

What was going on with Halo Infinite? The debate occurs during a time when there is already criticism of the progress system in Halo Infinite. While the game and its content are largely well-reviewed by critics, the unlocking of armor and other cosmetic items is not.

The system is perceived by many players as grind-heavy. Unlocking new things would take ages if you did not purchase the premium battle pass. Alleged prices for future shop items also caused significant discussions.

Here too, the developers have already responded and promised to make adjustments and consider fan feedback.

The multiplayer of Halo Infinite has been playable in beta as a free-to-play title since November 15. The campaign will be released as a full-price game on December 8.

New World accidentally gives away up to 300,000 gold to players – Now brings rollback

How long will the emergency maintenance last? There’s currently no statement regarding this. We will keep you updated in the old article.

Server Down in New World – Europe is facing major issues with the new update

It is also possible that there will be a complete server rollback, as trading posts are also affected by the issues.

Do all think the idea of a rollback is good? No, in the forum there is a very small group of players who actually approve of distributing gold. The player BRITISHZEUS, for instance, claims that the community overall would benefit from the bug (via New World Forum):

  • Players who received gold could buy levels and materials
  • Players who sold materials now have a lot of gold
  • Players who didn’t have anything for sale are not interested in having gold

This reasoning sounds absurd, but in fact, there are still relatively few sources to quickly obtain gold in New World. This also results in relatively little gold in the game, which drives down the prices of materials and led to an economic crisis.

However, the argument did not resonate well with most users in the forum. They see someone who finally received gold and doesn’t want to lose it.

Server Down in New World – Europe is facing major issues with the new update

In New World, a peculiar bug occurred in the latest update. Players were supposed to be compensated for the high taxes on their houses, but instead, they received huge sums of gold. A rollback for the characters has since been confirmed.

What exactly happened? Today, a new update was released that should refund players the taxes paid for houses. Due to bugs related to housing, players had been significantly restricted in that aspect. This was exploited for item duping, forcing developers to disable some content.

Therefore, the taxes on houses were reduced by 90%, retroactively effective from patch 1.1.

For houses, taxes typically range between 5% and 20% of the house cost, depending on the owner’s settings. In the best case, you pay 250 gold weekly, and in the worst case, 4,000.

However, players in Europe received excessively high compensations. Some amounts reached up to 300,000 gold. Some players took advantage of this to buy out the trading posts or level new characters quickly. This bug seems to have occurred only with us.

How did Amazon respond? After about 2 hours, the developers took all European servers offline and performed an emergency maintenance, which is still ongoing.

However, it has been confirmed in the forum that a rollback will occur and that players will not retain the gold and materials.

Rollback for all affected characters, but not everyone is pleased

What do the developers say exactly? In a post by Community Manager Tosch, it is stated that the affected characters will be reset. He says (via New World Forum):

Our investigations into the erroneous coin compensation are ongoing. Additionally, we are working on a reset for all affected characters.

Unfortunately, we cannot currently estimate how long it will take until all work is completed – but as soon as there are further updates, we will inform you.

Anyone who has played with a character affected by the gold bug should expect that their progress within the 2 hours will be lost.

It is also possible that there will be a complete server rollback, as trading posts are also affected by the issues.

Do all think the idea of a rollback is good? No, in the forum there is a very small group of players who actually approve of distributing gold. The player BRITISHZEUS, for instance, claims that the community overall would benefit from the bug (via New World Forum):

In the trailer, four armed skins are shown, who pass through a roll gate. They face the well-known threat: The Cube Queen. She also prepares for battle and statically charges her half-finished alien pyramid.

Fortnite Countdown has started

If you haven’t logged into Fortnite yet, the trailer will play for you upon logging in. Afterwards, you will be taken to your lobby, which is now equipped with a countdown.

When does the live event start? The countdown will end on Saturday, December 4, at 10 PM. After that, you will have the opportunity to face the Cube Queen to free the old map from her threat.

How will the live event unfold? It is not yet known, but rumors suggest that the Cube Queen will throw the map into chaos and a black hole will appear again. Before that happens, however, you will be able to face her and try to stop her.

What happens after the live event? Leakers assume that a black hole will spread again and Fortnite will fall into a winter sleep for a few days.

During this time, everything will be prepared for the new Chapter. You will not be able to play matches or adjust your skins. This will be comparable to what happened after the live event of Season X in Chapter 1.

Destiny 2: Forsaken campaign returns – What is free and when does it start?

Soon, the best expansion of all time will be added to the Destiny 2 content vault. But before that happens, you can play Forsaken for free one last time and say goodbye to Cayde-6. We’ll tell you when and what exactly you can play today on MeinMMO.

The fact that Forsaken, the best expansion of Destiny 2, will soon move to the content vault has been met with mixed feelings by the community. In December, the last opportunity for interested players to experience this entire story for free will be available and properly say goodbye to the Tangled Shore, the Scorn Barons, and Bungie’s coolest gunslinger of all time.

These contents will leave Destiny 2:

Forsaken is regarded as one of the best expansions in Destiny 2.
This will be free starting December 7, 2021:
The complete Destiny 2: Forsaken campaign can be played for free (free2play) from December 7, 2021, to February 22, 2022, the launch of the new expansion “The Witch Queen”.

Here’s why you shouldn’t miss it: For long-time players, the Forsaken campaign has a high emotional value. It is not only the best expansion Destiny 2 has had so far but also a milestone for many Destiny fans. It also contains important story details that play a very significant role in the storyline of the current Season 15.

Playing the Forsaken campaign will shed new light on Uldren Sov/Crow’s backstory for every player. It is closely tied to Crow’s character development and also explains why currently no one represents the Hunter faction at the Vanguard.

The Forsaken campaign takes you to the Prison of Elders.

These contents will not be included:

For this purpose, Bungie will offer players a complementary Forsaken pack that grants access to these raid and dungeon contents as well as all Forsaken exotics. It also includes three so-called Forsaken cipher. With these, players can unlock three exotic Forsaken weapons at the Monument of Lost Lights, as long as they are not exotics from the dungeon or the raid.

That’s why old content is disappearing: The complexity of Destiny 2’s code necessitates that old content must leave the game. The content vault is Bungie’s parking lot solution for this and is meant to create the necessary space for the new Witch Queen content.

However, the fact that already paid content is regularly removed from the game is a major criticism from players.

Important for all who have already purchased the Forsaken DLC: The three Forsaken ciphers will also be given to players who have already purchased Forsaken. If you already own all Forsaken exotics, the ciphers will automatically be converted into Ascendant Shards, and you can spend them elsewhere. Therefore, you do not have to repurchase Forsaken to play the campaign again and receive the ciphers.

Will you take the time to play the Forsaken campaign for free? Even if you already know the campaign?
