Are you still looking for a good mouse for MMOs or shooters? Right now, thanks to Black Friday, you can get two top devices from Roccat and Logitech at Amazon and MediaMarkt.
Here’s the deal: Are you still searching for an excellent gaming mouse that will accompany you in future raids or battles? Then you should check out the offers at Amazon and MediaMarkt. Because you can currently get two really good gaming mice at a really good price:
The Roccat Kone AIMO Remastered is currently available for 35 Euros. That’s the best offer at this time.
The Logitech G502 Hero is currently available for 32 Euros. On average, the mouse costs around 45 Euros, and it has never been this cheap before (via geizhals.de)
Based on our experience, both mice are excellent gaming devices. So if you’re still looking for a mouse for your favorite game, we will introduce you to these devices in more detail.
Why the Roccat Kone AIMO Remastered is worth it
We from MeinMMO have extensively tested the Roccat Kone AIMO Remastered. In the test, we were particularly impressed by its excellent ergonomics and good build quality. The mouse fits comfortably in hand. With 8 buttons, you have plenty of options, which you can configure through the extensive software.
In general, some users have criticized it, and we can confirm that after over 2 years of active use of a Kone AIMO Remastered. If that bothers you or if you’re not a fan of a heavy gaming mouse, then the Roccat mouse is probably not for you.
A very lightweight gaming mouse from Roccat would be, for example, the Roccat Burst Pro, which MeinMMO has also tested. An alternative would also be the Razer DeathAdder V2, which is both lightweight and uses good tactile switches.
The Logitech G502 Hero is a true classic among gaming mice and is not without reason one of the best-selling devices. The mouse offers you 11 directly programmable buttons, and the mouse wheel gives you an option without scroll locking. Additionally, you can even increase its weight.
We from MeinMMO have extensively tested Logitech’s G502 and compared the successful gaming mouse with the SteelSeries Rival 5.
We found the ergonomics of the G502 to be comfortable, and the Logitech gaming mouse fits well in the right hand. Additionally, the slightly wider thumb rest means that the thumb rests directly on the mouse instead of on the mousepad. Thanks to its 11 programmable buttons, the mouse is also extremely flexible and usable in almost any genre. The weight system is a cool idea in principle, but in practice, we have almost never changed the weight.

In Destiny 2 players have been reporting on PCfor a few months now about unexplained frame drops and stuttering during gameplay. Even expensive, high-end GPUs cannot run the game anywhere with stable frame rates. Where do the problems come from and what can affected players do about it?
Bungie regularly makes changes “under the hood” of Destiny 2. This has included, for example, improved lighting in the European Dead Zone or on Nessus as well as more realistic fire effects during the mockery. But as good as these optimizations look, they seem to further worsen the FPS drop problem along with the introduction of BattleEye.
What problems are there? Players are increasingly reporting strange FPS drops. Even on top-of-the-line high-end PCs. While the frame rate remains consistently high in some areas, it drops noticeably sharply in others. And this, despite the fact that there really isn’t anything in these locations that could cause such poor performance. The VRAM usage remains constant and should actually still allow the game plenty of headroom.
Every single season in Destiny 2 has slowly caused the FPS to drop for some players. Most dropouts were reported by players in the season of the Splicer and most recently with the introduction of the anti-cheat system BattlEye.
Is BattlEye possibly to blame for the issues?
Is the anti-cheat system BattlEye to blame? BattlEye apparently has not only extended the loading times of Destiny 2. It also seems that Bungie already knew that the introduction of BattlEye in August 2021 would also lead to FPS drops. In a security update prior to the release of BattlEye, Bungie explicitly pointed out this possibility and potential problems.
I knew there would be a slight decline [in frames] because of Battleye, but I didn’t think it would be this bad.
BattlEye as an anti-cheat solution does indeed require some additional system resources. Those who used to run Destiny 2 with high priority had to forgo that after the update. Battleye seems to block these DLL files, among other things, to save process priorities.
Background: To give the game more resources and improve its performance, some players have directly increased the priority of Destiny 2 in the task manager. This can be done with just a few clicks and is hence a simple performance optimization. Whether this still works after the introduction of BattlEye is unclear.
What does Bungie say about it? At the moment, there is no further information from Bungie on whether a fix for this is planned or not. However, the developer seems to be aware of the problem. So it’s not out of the question that Bungie is already working with BattlEye to fix Destiny 2’s FPS drops. We will continue to monitor this and should Bungie release a fix, we will update this article for you.
Since the season of the Splicer, reports from players have been increasing.
3 Tips that can help against FPS drops in Destiny 2
What could help? Affected players can currently only try to optimize their system in other ways to prevent frame drops in Destiny 2 from continuing.
Method 1: Adjust your video settings
Affected players recommend checking the windowed mode option in the settings of Destiny 2. Running the game in windowed mode has its advantages, but fullscreen mode can help maximize frames. In addition, reducing shadow quality is also helpful and can lead to an improvement in frame rate.
Method 2: Delete your temporary files
To fix Destiny 2 PC frame drops, a simple shader cache update fix can also help. Here you clean up the temporary files stored by DirectX on your hard drive. Afterwards, a custom reinstall of the graphics card driver is recommended. This tip is not only helpful for Destiny 2, but also works in other games.
Method 3: Close unnecessary programs and optimize Windows performance options
If you have other programs running alongside Destiny 2, it is recommended to minimize them. Some programs, such as an open browser with 30 tabs or a system monitor, consume a lot of system resources. This also leads to frame drops, stuttering, and game delays in Destiny 2. Therefore, end all unnecessary programs that may be running in the background when playing Destiny 2.
Afterwards, players can also optimize the Windows performance options for better Destiny 2 performance. This removes unnecessary animations, window shadows, and ensures that window contents are no longer displayed when moving.
There have also been technical issues in Destiny 2 recently:
If you are using an HDD to store Destiny 2, that can also reduce game performance. HDDs are usually slower than SSDs. To increase the FPS of Destiny 2 and improve the gaming experience, it is recommended to install or move the game to an SSD. This is quite easy to do via the Steam settings, moving the game files of Destiny 2 to a new Steam library folder.
Have you also noticed the drop in frame rate more frequently in recent months? Do you perhaps have further tips that could help affected players minimize their frame drops? Do you think that the release of BattlEye has also worsened performance?

The shooter World War 3 looks like the Polish answer to Battlefield 2042 – but started back in 2018. Now the game is attempting a relaunch in Closed Beta. This catches the competitor from EA during a turbulent phase. This is also reflected in the ratings on Steam.
World War 3 has been in development since 2018. With a new version, the game has now launched on Steam and in Closed Beta. The relaunch began just a few days after a rocky start for Battlefield 2042 – inviting comparisons.
Who are the developers? World War 3 comes from the Polish developer The Farm 51. The studio drew attention to itself this July with the game Chernobylite. This S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-inspired survival game received generally positive reviews, scoring 75 on Metacritic (via Metacritic) and “very positive” feedback on Steam (via Steam).
World War 3 has been in development since 2018. Now the developers are trying a relaunch with a new version of the game.
How do I play the game? Since November 25, the game has been in Closed Beta Test (CBT). This is supposed to last until March 2022 (via My.Games). Everyone who owns World War 3 or buys it now on Steam can participate in the Closed Beta. The game is playable on PC and costs €12.99 on Steam (via Steam).
The Polish answer to Battlefield?
Even if the relaunch wasn’t so shortly after the release of Battlefield 2042, World War 3 would still remind players of Battlefield. With a modern war setting, large maps, many customizable weapons, and vehicles like tanks, the game is heavily inspired by DICE’s competition.
How does the game play? Up to 40 players can compete against each other in two game modes:
In the Tactical Operations mode, two teams of 20 players each must capture control points.
In the classic Team Deathmatch, teams of 10 players compete against each other. The goal here is to collect more kills than the opposing team.
But the Battlefield games are not the only inspiration for the game: The loadout menu visually and in content resembles that of Call of Duty. There is also a mechanic that can be compared to the killstreaks from CoD.
World War 3 is received better on Steam than Battlefield 2042
This is why World War 3 performs significantly better among Steam users despite an average overall rating compared to Battlefield 2042:
How do the ratings compare to Battlefield? World War 3 currently has 64% positive reviews (via Steam). In comparison: Battlefield 2042 only has 32% (via Steam). However, World War 3 has only about 15,000 reviews on Steam since 2018. In comparison: Over 50,000 Steam users have submitted a review for Battlefield 2042 in just one week.
The sheer volume of reviews is therefore not fully comparable, but a clear trend can be seen among fans. Especially since some players explicitly state that they find World War 3 better than Battlefield 2042 and point to the rocky release of the AAA shooter:
“Had a rough start, almost died back then, then reborn strongly. Veteran Alpha was a dream compared to the BF2042 Beta. If they keep it up, it could really become something.” (Walls # on Steam)
“The game has the potential to be a real Battlefield competitor!” (Ludwig958 on Steam)
“Please push the game and also take a look for yourselves. It can only be better than Battlefield right now!” (xxSnakeXx[GER] on Steam)
Whether the game can take advantage of the current situation of Battlefield 2042 remains to be seen. Are you looking for an alternative to Battlefield 2042? Will you try World War 3? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
Meanwhile, EA and DICE are working on the issues of Battlefield 2042:
New Signature Signings Cards: In addition to the traditional Best of TOTW, new special cards will be introduced this year. They are called ‘Signature Signings’ and celebrate important transfers in the football world.
Here are the new cards:
This is the Best of TOTW Team 1
This is the team: The first Best of TOTW is now available and can be found in packs. It features really strong cards like Mbappé, Salah (91), Son (90), or Suarez (89). But the Inform cards of Goretzka (88), Foden (86), and Hernandez (86) are also really exciting.
The team will remain until Saturday at 7:00 PM, along with the very strong TOTW 10 and the Signature Signings cards, in packs and will be replaced by the Best of TOTW Team 2.
What content does the event offer?
Traditionally, Black Friday revolves around special offers, and that is also the case in FIFA. There will be offers such as:
Lightning Rounds, special packs that are available worldwide in limited numbers and therefore only for a very short time.
Promo Packs, which are rarely available in the game.
Flash SBCs, which are Squad Building Challenges that are only available for a short time. There you can exchange teams for special rewards.
Special tasks that grant you rewards.
What do you think about Black Friday in FIFA 22? Are you looking forward to the event? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
If you want to know what changes the last update brought, take a look here:
Not everyone celebrates the idea of a “Mass Effect” series. One of the former story writers from BioWare expresses his concerns.
A few days ago, it became known that Amazon is apparently in the final stages of securing a deal for a series based on the “Mass Effect” universe. Fans are excited about it, but there are also concerns. The idea of turning the games into a series makes one of the former story writers from BioWare “cringe”.
What was said? David Gaider spoke on Twitter about the plans for a “Mass Effect” series. Gaider was long one of the lead writers at BioWare, primarily responsible for Dragon Age at that time. In a tweet, he explained that the “possibility of an adaptation [into a series] makes him cringe a bit”.
The same thought applies to the possibility that Dragon Age could also eventually receive a series.
Why does Gaider think this way? Gaider elaborates further on what he means. From his perspective, the story of Mass Effect, concerning the games, is not easily adaptable into a series. This is mainly because Commander Shepard is essentially a “blank slate”.
Players shape their Shepard in the story – deciding whether he is a man or a woman or what decisions he makes. No matter how one might want to adapt this into a series – they will always run into people who have made completely different decisions for Shepard.
The entire game world and experience is tailored to each individual player through the many choices. It would be nearly impossible to satisfy long-term fans with a series focused on Shepard and his companions.
Mass Effect has many characters – at least, if one were to reference the games.
Mass Effect has to fulfill too many things at once
“Think about how MUCH the story depends on the companions. They are the cipher through which players receive most emotional experiences [in the game]. In themselves, the protagonists of Mass Effect and Dragon Age … well, they are quite boring. That won’t sell.”
He elaborates further:
Think about these companions. Think about how MUCH fans care about these characters. Now consider the fact that there is absolutely no way that a single story can treat them all equally. Think about the outcry of anger if companion X only gets a small cameo … or doesn’t appear at all.
However, Gaider also does not believe that the series is necessarily doomed to fail. He is excited that an adaptation is planned and simply hopes that Amazon will manage to avoid all the pitfalls and possible mistakes.
For the danger of turning the “Mass Effect” universe into just another mediocre sci-fi series, which in the end cannot excite either the fans of the game or new viewers, is enormously high.
In many ways, it would be wiser not just to simply adapt the story of the games. But consider this from the perspective of those making this TV series. They are not doing it just for the fans who already know the whole story and would be fine if it developed in another direction.
The much larger audience is those who know nothing about Mass Effect or Dragon Age.
In a way, the series has to answer the question: “What IS Mass Effect, anyway?” And that means they have to create something that is immediately recognizable as Mass Effect. That means reinterpreting something familiar in a way that fans don’t need and they will likely react negatively to it. Maybe. I guess we will see.
Do you share Gaider’s concerns? Or are you initially optimistic and believe that Mass Effect as a series can work – both for long-time fans and for a completely new target audience?
Other series have recently shown that game adaptations can be really good – like the worldwide success Arcane.

A veterinary clinic was defrauded of over 600,000 euros by its own finance manager. The woman has a massive addiction problem and gambled everything away in a casino game. However, the game is just a casino simulation that doesn’t even payout real money. Read the whole bizarre and sad story here on MeinMMO!
Who stole from whom? Rachel Naomi Perry (49) was the finance manager at a veterinary clinic in Tasmania (Australia) from 2016 to 2019. During this time, she abused her position to steal a total of 940,000 Australian dollars (approximately 600,000 euros) through over 475 fraudulent transactions.
Gambling-addicted manager is glad she was finally caught
How did this come to light? Perry apparently managed to siphon off money unimpeded for three years because she seemed to be the only person responsible for the finances. It was only when another person became active in her area that “anomalies” in the accounting were noticed, revealing the full extent of her misdeeds.
She immediately lost her job and was charged in court with 25 counts of “computer-based fraud” and one count of fraud. Additionally, she is said to have stolen larger sums from her ex-husband and various other sources. The verdict, which is likely to result in a prison sentence, is expected to be handed down next week.
This is what the casino game looks like. You don’t get real money there. Source: ABC
Why did she do it? According to a psychologist’s report, Perry suffers from severe gambling addiction. This reportedly started in the 90s, and since then, the woman has repeatedly gambled away large sums in casinos.
However, she funneled the stolen money from the veterinary clinic into a casino game called Heart of Vegas. But this is not an online casino where you can win money. Rather, it is a casino simulator where you only win virtual coins that have no value outside the game.
According to her own statements, she didn’t care; she just played the casino game every day and sunk thousands of euros into it without ever seeing a cent in real money winnings. According to the Crown prosecutor, she was “in her own world” when she played the game.
When she was questioned by the police after her conviction, she stated that she knew she was doing something wrong. She was just waiting for someone to finally catch her and put an end to her actions.
In court, she pleaded guilty and is expected to receive therapy during her time in prison to manage her gambling addiction. However, she likely won’t be able to pay back the money to the veterinary clinic.
In Fortnite, there are many means of transportation that get you from A to B. Now a player shows you in his clip why sharks on a leash should definitely not venture to the Cube Town.
While traversing rural areas, the player found himself in the new POI – the “Cube Town”. Unbeknownst to him, he was abruptly separated from his vehicle and thrown into the air.
Sharks become mobile catapults for players
The reddit user long_socks2406 posted a video in which he was catapulted through the Cube Town on his shark during his journey.

He only utilized his shark, which was on his leash. He rode through the town and reached the purple lake that stretched across the new POI. Out of nowhere, the water catapulted the player into the air upon contact, separating him from his vehicle.
How can I recreate this? You need three things:
A shark
A fishing rod
The purple lake in the Cube Town
If you have found a lake or river containing a shark, pull out your fishing rod.
Position yourself near it, but not so close that it can focus on you. Then aim the fishing rod and cast the hook. It needs to be within immediate sight of the shark, otherwise it won’t spot it.
If the shark catches the bait, your line gets tangled in its fin, and you can take a ride with it.
Now you just need to head to the Cube Town and jump into the viscous lake. According to the video, this jump does not seem intentional and may be a bug.
Try it out while it’s still there: Chapter 2 is approaching its end soon. On December 4th, the live event will start to bring about another major reset. Epic is retiring the old map and making room for a new one.
Since Patch 18.40 is supposed to be the last of this season, you have time until the live event to capture photos and cool moments from Chapter 2 before everything gets sucked into a black hole again. So make sure to use your time to collect awesome moments.
What do you think about such broken features? Do you find that this is what makes Fortnite special and provides lots of laughs, or should Epic address this and patch it out? Let us know!

MMOs take time, and New World is no exception. A player has reportedly invested a remarkable 675 hours since release to level all professions. And he is not done yet: His goal is to achieve max level for all skills.
Who is the player? The reddit user The_SleepyTiger, in-game known as Sleepy Tiger, sent a screenshot of his professions in New World. After 675 hours, as he claims, he has finally reached level 140 in all skills.
While this may not be a special milestone, he has reached that level in all professions, not just “only” in all gathering professions. A member of the MeinMMO community already brought those to max level 200 shortly after the release .
Recently, Sleepy Tiger has apparently caught up on weaponsmithing and fishing. He has even achieved level 200 in several skills:
This is what the professions tab looks like for Sleepy Tiger currently. Image source: reddit.
Which is the most annoying profession? In a comment, Sleepy Tiger explains that he finds the carpentry profession the most annoying. With this, you can create furniture and decor for your own house.
For production, however, you need materials from all sorts of sources: wood, metals, alchemical resources, and other raw materials. This makes the profession so laborious.
His goal: Everything at 200 – “Nothing can stop me”
This is his plan: Sleepy Tiger aims to bring all professions to level 200 and thus to max level. He still needs 6 professions, including the unpopular carpentry. He himself says that he enjoys the whole process, even though New World is currently being criticized by many players.
For him, that’s enough motivation, and he is having fun. If you want to follow in his footsteps, you can find some useful tips and guides to the professions in New World here on MeinMMO:
By the way, a user even reveals that there is a recipe that makes leveling carpentry easy: the powder horn. You can learn it through the eponymous recipe, and it requires:
Animal Horn x1
Gunpowder x15
Beeswax x5
You get the rare animal horn back when you disassemble powder horns, so you can use it endlessly. Gunpowder can be purchased cheaply on many servers, and you can find beeswax since the big update 1.1 in trees filled with honeycombs. The large trees should guarantee wax, while smaller ones have a chance.

New World: New trailer shows the contents of the first major patch
What about New World? Since many players have reached the endgame of New World, there has been criticism. It is said that the game offers too few contents for max level. However, opinions on this do not entirely agree.
Like Sleepy Tiger, Twitch streamer shroud also believes that you must set your own goals in New World. He celebrates the endgame and explains that it is only boring if you do not seek anything to do.
Nevertheless, the developers are already working on new ideas for the future, especially for the endgame. It is apparently set to become more interesting in the future:
Season 24 started in July and lasts almost four months. Slightly longer than an average season, which runs for about three months.
Find out here how it continues with Diablo 3 after Season 24.
What happens in Season 25? Start and content
When does Season 25 start? A precise start date is still unknown. Typically, there are about one to two weeks between the end and start of a season in Diablo 3. Possible dates could be:
Friday, December 10, 2021
Friday, December 17, 2021
From the past, we know that seasons in D3 usually start on a Friday and end on a Sunday.
What’s included? In recent weeks, Season 25 of Diablo 3 has been extensively played on the test servers. The new season theme introduces soul stones that can make you mean and powerful. On the PTR, players were able to test the stones and socket them into head and weapon.
This is how cool it looks on the PTR when the new stones drop – souls are flying around the map
Typically, detailed patch notes are released when Blizzard announces the new season with a specific date. Until then, final feedback from testers will be implemented, and the finishing touches on the new patch will be made.
This is probably also urgently needed, as the first feedback on the new changes sounded like they were really op. Players stated: The season theme of Season 25 is even much stronger than Season 24. It is clear that Blizzard will adjust the numbers of the stones again. How strong they will come to the live servers is still uncertain.

Right now, you can get the Razer Kishi at a low price on Amazon. It is a very compact controller that wraps around your phone like a Switch, turning it into a sleek handheld console. This is particularly ideal for cloud gaming, such as through the Xbox Game Pass or Stadia.
What kind of device is this? The Razer Kishi is a controller for smartphones. Unlike most smartphone controllers, it is not a regular gamepad that clamps the phone from above, resulting in a bulky and oddly looking device.
With the Kishi, you secure your phone between the two halves of the controller, with one part being firmly connected to the USB-C plug in the Kishi. This also means that you don’t need Bluetooth, and the Kishi does not require its own power source. Thus, your phone looks a bit like a stylish, black Switch.
And right now, this little wonder is available for the bargain price of 60 Euros at Amazon. In the following paragraphs, I will briefly introduce you to the Kishi.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Razer Kishi – Ideal for Cloud Gaming
Weight: 163g | Connection: USB-C plug | Battery: none, powered by the phone | Price range (via Amazon): 60 – 90 Euros
For whom is the controller suitable? With its low weight and compact dimensions when folded (94.33mm x 134.1mm x 37.3mm), the Kishi fits in any pocket. This makes it ideal for all gamers who want to play on the go but don’t want to carry a bulky controller designed like an Xbox gamepad or something similar.
The biggest advantage of the Kishi is for all gamers who are enthusiastic about cloud gaming. This way, you can play your respective games from the Xbox Game Pass or Google Stadia anytime while enjoying the familiar feel of a controller.
This is what the Razer Kishi offers: The Kishi provides the usual buttons of a typical controller. On the left, there is a stick and a D-pad. On the right, another stick along with four buttons labeled X, Y, A, and B. Two shoulder buttons on each side and three action buttons complete the selection of buttons.
The buttons and controls are easily accessible and comfortable to operate. Since the Kishi is not heavy, the overall weight of the setup largely depends on your phone.
The Kishi is compatible with most smartphones, but large devices, like the S20 Note Ultra, push the Kishi to its limits and barely fit in. A list of compatible phones can be found here (via Razer.com). However, be mindful that the USB-C port is occupied by the Kishi, and you cannot connect wired headphones. Thus, you will either have to blast your surroundings with the speakers or use wireless headphones.
The Kishi compared in size to an Xbox controller, a Stadia controller, and a 1-liter drinking horn.
With the Kishi, you can play controller-compatible mobile games, such as the upcoming action RPG Diablo Immortal. Additionally, it works seamlessly with games from the Game Pass or Google Stadia.
The controller responds quickly and smoothly thanks to the direct USB-C connection; input lag is virtually nonexistent. You also don’t need cumbersome software configuration, just plug it in and start playing immediately.
The Kishi is available in a version for Android and for Apple devices.
Pros
very lightweight and handy
does not need to be charged
pleasant ergonomics due to side mounting
very compact when folded
Cons
very large phones cause issues
plastic construction is sometimes criticized
relatively high price
music possible only through speakers or Bluetooth headphones
This is what users say: On Amazon, the Kishi receives a solid 4 out of 5 stars based on 2,337 reviews (as of 26.11.2021). Users praise its portability and the uncomplicated gaming experience with the Kishi. Especially cloud gamers are very satisfied with it.
Other users complain that not all top phones fit well into the holder. The plastic construction is also sometimes criticized as “cheap”.
I, however, am still very satisfied with the Kishi; the device is always with me when I leave the house, and I enjoy playing shooters and action RPGs like Diablo Immortal with the Kishi, as long as the data connection allows it. You can find my detailed review of the Razer Kishi here on MeinMMO.

Today, on November 26, 2021, the new Hoopa event starts in Pokémon GO and brings you a special spotlight hour with Rattata. We at MeinMMO will show you what kind of event this is and whether it is worth it for you.
What kind of event is it? In Pokémon GO, the mysterious Pokémon Hoopa celebrates its release in its unleashed form starting today. For this, a special Hoopa event is taking place. Of course, the mischief that is typical for this monster will not be missing, which is why there will be special spotlight hours today and in the coming days.
As you know from the weekly spotlight hour, a specific Pokémon will also be the focus today and will spawn more frequently during this hour. However, there will not be a special bonus for this, as the Hoopa event itself already brings you a candy and XP bonus.
You will encounter the Pokémon Rattata in today’s spotlight hour, in its original Kanto form.
Spotlight Hour with Rattata – Start and Bonuses
When does the spotlight hour take place? This special spotlight hour starts today, November 26, 2021, at 12:00 PM local time. You will have one hour to catch as many Rattata as possible before the event ends at 1:00 PM local time.
Are there special bonuses? Unfortunately, there is no additional bonus specifically for the spotlight hour today. As you are used to from other events, you will encounter wild Rattata everywhere during this time. You can also attract more specimens using incense.
However, you don’t have to completely miss out on a bonus, as the Hoopa event already holds two special features for you. First, you will receive double XP for catching Pokémon, and second, you will get double candy for sending.
Are there shiny Rattata? Yes, with a bit of luck, you may encounter a shiny specimen. You can recognize it by its greenish body.
Normal Rattata (left) and shiny Rattata (right)
Is the spotlight hour with Rattata worth it?
How strong is it: Rattata is a Generation 1 Pokémon of the Normal type. It can evolve into Raticate. However, its stats are quite poor, and Raticate also does not excel with its stats. Both monsters are not suitable for raids or the PvP league.
Is the spotlight hour worth it? Rattata is particularly worth it today for shiny hunters, as they will get their money’s worth. Those looking for a strong Pokémon will probably not find it during the spotlight hour. As a strong attacker or for PvP battles, this monster is not suitable.
However, the spotlight hour is worth it in combination with the XP bonus. If you are still missing XP on your way to level 50, you can use this short event to collect some additional experience points.
Are you participating in the special spotlight hour today? Or would you rather use the XP bonus on one of the other days? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange views with other trainers about it.

YouTuber Bellular analyzes the data from World of Warcraft and shows how many are still playing – and the numbers paint a grim picture.
Streamer Bellular occasionally takes a look at the numbers regarding players in World of Warcraft. Now, a year after the release of WoW: Shadowlands, he has once again taken the time to assess the state of the game. He uses various data sources, such as Raider.io, which gives him a quite concrete picture of the current state of endgame content in World of Warcraft. It can be noted: Significantly fewer players are engaging with endgame content than a year ago.
In one of his latest videos, Bellular analyzes a whole range of numbers.
The raid participation has dropped drastically: There were a proud 44,317 guild kills of the first boss in Castle Nathria on normal difficulty. However, only 20,080 guilds have defeated the first boss in Sanctum of Domination, also on normal. This indicates a player decline of almost 55% in this area.
Particularly bitter is the direct comparison with the previous expansion, Battle for Azeroth. Because there, “only” slightly over 38,000 guilds were present for the first boss – even fewer than in Shadowlands. In the second raid, there were still 22,061 guilds at that time.
Shadowlands has, therefore, plummeted even more between the release and the first patch than was the case with BfA – and this, despite the fact that BfA sold worse than Shadowlands.
This statistic unfortunately continues in the heroic mode. While guilds managed to defeat the first boss in Castle Nathria 38,420 times, only 18,466 did so in Sanctum of Domination – a drop of nearly 52%.
However, it is also important to mention that Sanctum of Domination was a slightly easier raid tier, and especially the last 3 bosses were significantly easier than the last 3 bosses.
Bellular also poses some theses regarding the numbers. He suspects that, firstly, the more casual players are the ones leaving, who would only raid “normal” or occasionally try heroic. Heroic raiders would not detach from the game so easily – and the mythic players would probably stay the longest. According to Bellular, this is also due to the social ties within the guilds and a certain sense of duty.

Mythic+ looks even worse: A look at the “Mythic+” season paints an even gloomier picture. In Season 1 of Shadowlands, there were still significantly over 750,000 dungeons of the “Mythic+” category completed per week; at the same time in Season 2, it is only just under a third of that. Just over 250,000 dungeons of this category are still being completed weekly.
Even the last season of Battle for Azeroth had over 500,000 dungeon visits per week at that time, making it twice as strong as the current season.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
What impact does Patch 9.1.5 have? It is still too early to say. Bellular wants to reevaluate in a few months, once Patch 9.1.5 has had enough time to take effect. Since the update was released only a few weeks ago, precise evaluations are not yet possible.
The great hope of most WoW players, however, likely rests on the next addon, meaning Patch 10.0. After all, our survey showed that only 24% of players are actually looking forward to Patch 9.2. Many simply long for an end to Shadowlands and hope that the next addon will bring more motivation, a fresh story, and better features.
Are you surprised by Bellular’s numbers? Did you not expect the player decline in endgame content to be so severe? Or did you suspect it would be even harsher?

Thanks to Black Friday, there are dozens of offers on Amazon. MeinMMO presents 5 insider tips that are particularly worthwhile.
Are you overwhelmed by all the offers on Black Friday and don’t know what might be worth it for you? MeinMMO has a few tips and recommendations for you if you don’t want to spend more than 100 euros.
Among these, there are not only everyday helpers but also useful tools for the coming year 2022.
Cable Bag or Helpful Organizers
Why is it worthwhile? Nowadays, you feel like you need a different cable for each device, or you have to carry various stuff for trips or similar. A small upgrade for everyday life is a cable bag or an organizer.
Here you can safely and properly store all your cables.
Often, there’s even space in the bags for a few larger items like power banks or various charging adapters.
The organizers are waterproof, so your valuable electronics are safe while traveling.
Such bags or organizers cost around 10 – 15 euros and offer you plenty of space. In nets, pockets, or loops, you can sort your cables or other accessories, so they don’t get cluttered in your home or workplace.

It Takes Two
Why is it worthwhile? Maybe not necessarily an insider tip anymore, yet the game is a strong experience for everyone looking for a cool co-op game for two players.
The story revolves around the protagonists May and Cody. The two want to get a divorce after some conflicts, but their daughter doesn’t find that funny. Because she transforms her parents into enchanted dolls, and they must rediscover their love.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Microsoft 365 Family
Why is it worthwhile? Do you still have an Office subscription running or are you considering buying one? Then Microsoft 365 Family is currently worthwhile for around 50 euros. Because the Family package not only includes Word with all features, but you also get additional features like a 1TB OneDrive cloud storage.
It’s also practical that you can use the Family license simultaneously with up to 5 people without restrictions. You can also easily use the license on your Android or Apple tablet. If you share the Office license with 4 other people, you each pay only 10 euros for a 1TB cloud storage. You can’t get that much storage space in the cloud any cheaper at the moment.
The only important thing is that you need to be careful at the end during activation, because Microsoft aggressively tries to convince you to continue using Office 365 at full price after one year. You can turn this off somewhat cumbersome and should do so if you don’t want to pay 100 euros per year.
Go to the overview page office.com/myaccount
Then, go to Manage Billing here. From there, you will land on the activation page.
Here, select “Redeem card or code” and use the code you received from Amazon when purchasing.
Keep the option “Recurring billing” disabled.

WISO Tax Savings Book 2022
Why is it worthwhile? Every taxpayer must fill out a tax return each year. You can do this either directly via the Elster form or alternatively with tax software.
Compared to Elster, tax software offers you tips and tools on how to best fill out your tax return. Tax programs cost around 40 EUR and include many video tutorials and tips in digital form. Moreover, the programs guide you reliably through the tax form with so-called assistants and support you with helpful savings tips.
This is faster and easier than if you had to fill out the official forms yourself, and you can send the completed documents directly to the tax office.

Soundcore Life A2 ANC
Why is it worthwhile? Do you enjoy listening to music on the go, want to watch your series, or just want to travel undisturbed by other people or the noise of traffic? Then we can recommend the Soundcore Life A2 ANC. Because the headphones not only offer you great sound but also excellent noise cancellation that can successfully filter out many annoying sounds. Here, the headphones even offer several modes:
The “Traffic” mode filters out low frequencies. This is especially pleasant when traveling in a tram or train.
The “Indoor” mode aims to cut out voices and mid frequencies. This works sometimes better, sometimes worse. Some voices are still faintly audible.
“Outdoor” focuses on a mix of frequencies for a more balanced sound.
You can read an extensive report on the headphones and why they are worth it here on MeinMMO. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann tested the headphones and doesn’t want to miss them:

Trainers in Pokémon GO have been waiting for months to get Hoopa’s unleashed form. With the event “Unleashed Mischief”, it’s finally here. We at MeinMMO looked at how you can get Hoopa (Unleashed) and what special features await you.
What kind of event is this? Since the GO Fest 2021, the mysterious Pokémon Hoopa has repeatedly caused mischief in the game. With the start of the Season of Mischief, it also received its own special research, where trainers could catch the contained version of the monster.
Now the season is coming to an end, and the unleashed form of Hoopa is set to celebrate its release in Pokémon GO. To that end, Niantic has announced a four-day event called “Unleashed Mischief” (via pokemongolive.com).
When does the event start? The Unleashed Mischief event starts today, on November 26, 2021, at 10:00 AM local time. You then have 4 days to take advantage of all the bonuses and features. It will end on Monday, November 29, 2021, at 8:00 PM.
What kind of Pokémon is Hoopa? Hoopa is a mysterious Pokémon from the 6th generation. It belongs to the shapeshifters and can thus take on both the contained and the unleashed form. The contained variant belongs to the Psychic and Ghost types, while the unleashed one belongs to the Psychic and Dark types.
With the help of its golden rings, it can open portals and teleport things from one place to another.
Update from November 26, 2021: We updated this article for you on November 26. In addition, we added the section “The new field research tasks for the Hoopa event” and summarized their rewards for you.
Unleashed Mischief – All Pokémon and Bonuses
As with every Pokémon GO event, there will also be some monsters and bonuses for you during “Unleashed Mischief”. Naturally, the focus is primarily on the mysterious Pokémon Hoopa. We have summarized which monsters and bonuses await you below.
Hoopa (Unleashed)
After trainers in Pokémon GO could catch the contained Hoopa in the special research “Misunderstood Mischief”, many hoped for a release of the unleashed form. This will finally happen during the event “Unleashed Mischief”.
However, the unleashed version will currently not be easy to catch in the game. Similar to Coiffwaff, Hoopa belongs to the shapeshifters, which is why you can change to an unleashed Hoopa. However, you must meet certain requirements to do so.
Hoopa in the contained form (left) and unleashed (right)
This is how it should work: To change Hoopa’s form, you first need the Hoopa from the special research “Misunderstood Mischief”. You also have to complete the tasks in the second stage of the new special research “Unleashed Mischief”.
Once you’ve accomplished that, you can switch the form of the mysterious monster. You will only need a certain amount of Hoopa candies and stardust:
Form Change
Required Items
Hoopa (Contained) to Hoopa (Unleashed)
50 Hoopa Candies & 10,000 Stardust
Hoopa (Unleashed) to Hoopa (Contained)
10 Hoopa Candies & 2,000 Stardust
Pokémon in Special Raid and Spotlight Hours
During the event, Hoopa will naturally cause a lot of mischief in the game again. For this reason, there will be a raid and a spotlight hour on each of the four event days. We’ve summarized which monsters you will encounter on which day below.
All Pokémon that you can also get in their Shiny form are marked with a (*).
Raid Hours: These take place, as you know from the weekly raid hours, always between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM local time. During this time you will encounter the following legendary Pokémon in Level 5 raids:

New Special Research “Unleashed Mischief”
As Niantic announced a few days ago, Hoopa is set to receive another special research. This is the research “Unleashed Mischief”, which will be available in the game from the event of the same name.
Who receives this research? The new special research will be given to all trainers who have completed the first special research “Misunderstood Mischief” for Hoopa during this season. Those who do not complete it can also purchase a special ticket in the in-game shop for the research. This will be available there until the end of the Season of Mischief for $4.99.
How much time do you have left to solve the special research “Misunderstood Mischief”? You have until December 1, 2021, at 09:59 AM to complete the first special research with Hoopa. Only trainers who finish by then will secure the new research for free.
Until when is the ticket available in the shop? The ticket can also only be purchased until the change of the season in the in-game shop. So if you want to have the new research without completing the special research “Misunderstood Mischief”, you should get your ticket by December 1, 2021, at 09:59 AM (local time) at the latest.
What do you think of the new event with Hoopa? Are you getting an unleashed version? Or do you find one of the other monsters perhaps more interesting? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
Alongside the unleashed mischief, the Ed Sheeran event with Squirtle is also running. We took a look at which monsters and bonuses to expect.

In League of Legends there is a real cult formed around the 20-year-old South Korean Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon. The midlaner has managed to lead a team to the quarterfinals of the LoL Worlds 2021 almost single-handedly. He is considered an exceptional talent in the midlane. He is now moving to Gen G., one of the top 4 teams in the world. Fans are now welcoming him in the “Church of Chovy”.
What is sospecial about Chovy?
Chovy is an outstanding talent in League of Legends. He was discovered in 2018 by the controversial but brilliant coach, cvMax, and was one of the key figures behind the meteoric rise of Griffin. Chovy is known for being able to play “just about everything” in the midlane, from aggressive assassins to more defensive champs, the 20-year-old has a vast champion pool.
In 2021, he played for Hanwha Life, a somewhat irrelevant South Korean team: He made the organization competitive almost single-handedly and led them to the quarterfinals of the LoL Worlds. On the way, he also crushed the hopes of Fnatic and demolished the European solo queue.
Chovy was so dominant at Hanwha Life that in the West, the team was dubbed the “Church of Chovy” and ironically referred to Chovy as “Our Lord and Savior.” In power rankings, Chovy appears alongside players like Showmaker, Canyon, Doinb, or Viper in the top 5 best players in the world.
Where does Chovy play now? In 2022, Chovy moves to Gen G. The team from South Korea reached the semifinals of the Worlds in 2021 and only fell short against the eventual world champion EDward Gaming.
The team will almost completely restructure for 2022. From the old roster, only ADC Ruler remains in the starting five. Ruler was part of the legendary team around Ambition, which won the LoL Worlds 2017 as “Samsung Galaxy.” Back then, they denied Faker and T1 the highly coveted fourth world championship title.

In addition to Ruler and Chovy, Gen G. has brought back the legendary jungler Peanut, who played for STK1 for two years and became world champion in 2016. Peanut was acquired in exchange for the previous midlaner Bdd. Gen G. no longer needs him, as they have Chovy in that position in the team.
Gen G. could play a decisive role in the LCK in 2022, especially as it remains unclear how much of the super team DWG KIA still remains:
The survival game Myth of Empires was released on Steam a week ago and today recorded an all-time peak of over 36,000 players. We summarize what the Steam reviews say about the game.
What is Myth of Empires? It is an open-world game for PC, aimed primarily at fans of sandbox survival games like ARK or Conan Exiles. The combat system, however, is more reminiscent of hardcore games like Mordhau and Mount & Blade with its strategic approach.
Once you create your character, you land in an Asian country based on ancient China. According to the developers, the setting is supposed to be “realistic and historical” with only a few fantasy elements.
The following features await you in the game:
Both PvE and PvP modes
Large sieges
Free construction of areas with settlements and fortresses
NPC companions to assist you in combat
Detailed crafting system
You start with your character in any area and immediately get to work on the first tasks. The tasks introduce you to the game and present the various systems so you can gradually get into the gameplay.
A week ago, Myth of Empires launched in early access on Steam and has already attracted several tens of thousands of players.
For more info, check out our “Find Your Next Game” interview with a preview of the game:
“Clear recommendation for everyone who likes Rust and ARK.”
This is the player status: Since its early access launch, Myth of Empires on Steam has collected over 4,200 reviews. Of those, 75% are marked with a thumbs up, giving it a “mostly positive” rating.
According to the statistics site steamcharts.com, Myth of Empires was also played by over 36,600 players in the last 24 hours. This is also the highest point that the new survival game has achieved so far. The current trend is therefore rising.
What the reviews say: Most positive reviews emphasize that Myth of Empires is a solid survival game. Many compare the gameplay to titles like Conan Exiles, Rust, or ARK, which are popular games in the survival genre.
It is also emphasized that the different systems of Myth of Empires offer a lot of depth and that one can get lost in the gameplay.
I can only recommend the game. It is a mix of Conan Exiles, Bannerlord, NW Commander Battle, and Asia. I have never been so addicted to a game in such a short time. […]
Nettelbeck on Steam
So far a very good game, even though it is in early access. Developers are continuously working on the game and there are many updates – mostly at midnight! Those who like games like Conan Exiles, Rust, or Ark will certainly have a lot of fun here.
Tsumikara on steam
In negative reviews, however, players criticized the bugs and the lack of polish. Examples included the many confusing and cluttered menus and skill trees that supposedly overwhelm the gameplay. The grind has also been noted as negative, as it is said to feel very sluggish and unrewarding.
The user Aramis wrote in his review:
I tried to like the game. The graphics are nice, even though it is mostly dreary. […] At the moment, the game is an unprecedented grind hell. The menus and texts are jumbled and confusing. And on top of that, it’s a Chinese game with terrible translation. […] Many quests are either incomplete or the description is so poor that you cannot solve them. […]
I think after three or four years of work the game could be playable and fun. At the moment not so much. I would wait.
Nevertheless, the positive voices currently outweigh and the player numbers seem to continue to grow.
How can I participate? If you are interested in Myth of Empires, you can participate in early access by purchasing the game for €24.99 (€22.49 on discount).
What is your impression of Myth of Empires? Will you try the game or are you perhaps already playing? Let us know your opinion in the comments.
The survival game Valheim has received a new, smaller content patch. Additionally, the developers answered some questions on reddit. It turns out that the already tough game might get even harder…
This is what the developers say: In an AMA on reddit the Valheim development team spoke about the future of the game as early as November. A fan asked whether “harder modes” were a possibility. He finds longer dungeons or larger attacks on his base exciting.
The developer Montilyet responded: “We have actually talked about this! This will probably not happen before the 1.0 release of the game, but it is possible that different difficulty levels will come.”
Challenges are an incentive in many adventure and action games to replay the game. The devs have already revealed earlier that Valheim will eventually have an “end”.
Todeskitos are already bad. Are they going to get worse?!
How tough is Valheim: Already, numerous foes in Valheim cause players to die in droves. However, the bosses with their unique mechanics are not even the toughest opponents.
Especially new players are often surprised by the small, much deadlier foes in new areas. A special place is held here by the small Fulinge and especially the Todeskitos.
Both foes are significantly smaller than your character – but can easily kick you out of the afterlife with a single blow. Let’s see how tough they become on higher difficulty levels. Those who don’t want to wait can just make Valheim harder themselves:
This is in the patch: With the update on November 25, Valheim received some new content. Among them are previously unspecified “things” in the swamp biome as well as new armor. The armor is to be crafted from these unknown “things”.
Furthermore, the developers revealed that the mountains biome will soon have caves where not only wolves roam. There were also some words about the already known, new mistlands biome.
There, new shapes and terrains are slowly forming, but concrete information is still missing. We can already say that many of you will find the mistlands disgusting. We have hidden the images of the update in a spoiler for you in case you prefer to explore them yourself later.
The images of the new update
The mistlands are forming.
A cave in the mountains. What awaits inside?
This is what the new armor looks like.
By the way: The input in the console has also been simplified and should now utilize auto-completion better. This makes the use of the handy admin commands of Valheim easier.
When will the new content arrive? The armor and the unknown entity in the swamp are already in the game. However, caves in the mountains and the mistlands will only come later. Valheim has been in Early Access since February 2021 and has been continuously developed since then.
The team behind it was overwhelmed by the enormous success and is now focusing on making Valheim good. Therefore, new content will take a bit longer than planned, but it will come.
Recently, Valheim received its first major content update Hearth & Home in September. This primarily brought new cooking recipes, improved food and combat systems, and a ton of new building materials. A quirky new building was a major wish of the community:
With the first major update, the developers of Battlefield 2042 have worked on many issues that have troubled fans since the release. Among these are the hovercrafts. They were previously considered far too strong by players and are now significantly more pleasant.
What kind of update is this? The simply titled “Update #2” patch for Battlefield 2042 was released today, on November 25, 2021. The developers have addressed numerous issues, such as the faulty spread of assault rifles and other weapons.
However, a particularly big point were the hovercrafts, one of the various vehicles in the game. For various reasons, they were considered far too strong, and the development team promised earlier to nerf the hovercrafts. That has now happened.
Everything you need to know about the new Battlefield 2042 – in 2 minutes
What was the problem with the vehicles? Hovercrafts were previously heavily armored and could withstand fire similar to a real tank. They were, however, also faster than a jeep, extremely mobile, and dangerous:
4 people can fit in a hovercraft
3 weapons can be used, one by each occupant except the driver
the occupants remain largely protected, as the weapons are controlled from within
the windows are very small, making it extremely difficult to hit the occupants
This is how strong the hovercrafts are now: As a reddit user shows with a telling clip, now only two rockets are needed to disable a hovercraft. This makes the vehicles significantly less dangerous than before:

Moreover, it seems that the hovercrafts also take damage from other sources – for example, from the guns of other hovercrafts. The armor class has thus been reduced, which further weakens the vehicles.
The community reacts with joy. The highest-rated comment is simply: “Good”. A reply to that goes a bit further. InHaalandWeTrust writes: “They are no longer tanks on crack. Hallelujah!”
By the way: You can also target the hovercrafts with the M5 if they were previously marked by another player’s SOFLAM gadget. This can be done alone with the right loadout and is currently popular for taking down helicopters:
What else is changing in Battlefield 2042? Another important change to the game is the spread of the assault rifles. This was too high at the release of Battlefield 2042 and made the weapons nearly useless.
However, the error has now been fixed. The popular weapon class is thereby finally competitive again. Players are glad that shots that are aimed correctly hit again. Some believe that Battlefield 2042 is now significantly better, though still not perfect.
However, with the stronger assault rifles, the formerly most popular weapon has also lost its position and received a nerf. This does, however, significantly broaden the selection of useful weapons:
