The last heist week in GTA Online brings new discounts, bonuses, and events. But the main highlight is the rare Panther Statue, which you can grab in the Cayo Perico Heist.
This item is about: The coveted Panther Statue is the most valuable item you can get from the Cayo Perico Heist. Depending on the difficulty, you will earn between 1.7 and 1.9 million dollars for the statue alone. For a single item, that’s quite a sum.
In addition to the statue, you can also collect other valuable items like gold, grass, or paintings as secondary loot in the heist. It’s definitely worth checking out Cayo Perico this week and snagging a few souvenirs.
Since the statue is the rarest and most expensive item you can get from the heist, you should seize this opportunity and grab it this week.
This is how it works: If you play the Cayo Perico Heist for the first time this week, you can select the Panther Statue as your primary target. Simply start the heist from the menu and scout the island to find the statue.
Keep in mind that you cannot steal the statue infinitely. There is only one available per character, but it’s guaranteed. So you don’t have to rely on luck here.
With a value of up to 1.9 million, it’s very tempting, especially for players who are currently low on cash. You can also better prepare yourself with the money for the upcoming December update.
As a bonus for scouting and completing the heist, you will also receive the Orange Skull Emissive Mask and Orange Glow Shades for free.
How long is the statue available? You have time until the end of the event week, which is until next Thursday: December 2nd. You can complete the heist alone or with friends, but as mentioned, the statue is only available once per character.
What bonuses are there as well? This week, you can also expect the next round of bonuses and offers, which include:
2x Money and EXP on Adversary Mode Overtime Rumble
2x Money and EXP on Kart Krash: Full Auto Mode
2x Money and EXP for A Superyacht Life missions
35% discount on the Kosatka, its renovations, and upgrades
40% discount on the Armed Dinghy, Patrol Boat, Veto Classic, Veto Modern, and Slamtruck
You will also receive the Still Slipping Friend T-shirt for free upon login.
In GTA 5 there is a conflict between two German Twitch streamers on a roleplay server. The streamer Justus Henker was banned from the private GTA-5 server LuckyV and now wants to sue the operator. Fans are supporting him with large donation sums. We conducted an interview with the streamer on MeinMMO and asked him how the lawsuit came about.
What is the lawsuit about?
The streamer Justus Henker (4,641 followers on Twitch) played on the German roleplay server for GTA 5, LuckyV, stood in front of a poster of a lightly dressed woman in his apartment and said: ‘Take it in your hand, Ariane’. The server’s support subsequently banned the streamer for a few days, seeing it as a ‘sexual act’, apparently implying masturbation.
From this situation, a conflict escalated: the server operator, Dennis ‘Heideltraut’ Werth (174,491 followers on Twitch), addressed this incident in a stream. Justus Henker responded to this stream with a video. Werth then had this video taken down with a copyright strike.
Justus Henker saw this as an injustice that he was not willing to accept. He announced plans to sue Dennis Werth in the USA and launched a donation campaign. He has already raised 5,000 € for the lawsuit.
We described the incident in detail about two weeks ago in an article on MeinMMO:
MeinMMO: Have you ever filed a lawsuit against someone privately, or where does your enthusiasm for the justice system come from that you play a prosecutor in your free time?
Justus Henker: I have never felt the need to sue someone privately. I don’t just play a prosecutor. The character Justus Henker has been a revolutionary, resistance fighter, lawyer, journalist, theater director, actor, and currently is a judge on the project Skyline-V.de.
I find it appealing in a game that is full of violence to play a character who represents a counterpoint of the supposed reason but is also full of flaws. I enjoy picking up where others stop, when the characters lie on the ground.
My character strives in vain to reach the others and achieve a confrontation with what has happened, even though those affected have no idea about it. Unfortunately, my character is fighting against windmills, like Don Quixote.
The accusation of a sexual act before the poster of the woman seems to anger Justus Henker:

I find the sums involved astonishing. According to the website where your donation call is running, there are at least 10 individual donations of over €100 each for the lawsuit – some donations are even significantly higher (via steamlabs). How do you explain that people are donating €250, €300, or even €500 to help you proceed with your lawsuit?
I must first thank my regular viewers for being so great in participating. More than €5,000 was donated in the first five days. This is also because Heideltraut makes it very easy for me. Among the donors are also many former victims of him, whom he has insulted in front of up to 3,000 viewers, equating role and player, as in my case.
Heideltraut has many fans, but his ban lists likely contain more names. He has created his own bubble, from which one can be banned for even the slightest hint of criticism.
This poster was made by Henker and sent to donors.
How did the lawsuit come about exactly?
First of all: There is currently no lawsuit yet. Our US lawyers are working to get this started. The story of how it came to this is quickly told. At the beginning, there was a time ban from his project. Although I criticized this in my stream, I ultimately accepted it, even though it was arbitrary.
Heideltraut then criticized me in a livestream the following day and portrayed me in an unacceptable light, making it clear that he could not have seen my criticism himself but was only reporting hearsay.
I then took this as an opportunity to make a direct reaction stream because I could not let the many false claims stand.
And then he went on a rampage in the livestream and did what he always does when faced with criticism. I was subjected to legal measures such as the Network Enforcement Act (Germany), a DMCA takedown notice (US law), and as a crowning glory, I received a permanent ban from his server project. All of this happened during his live broadcast. The content was immediately blocked by Twitch. He did what he unfortunately often does when criticized: he reacted with censorship. At the same time, two legal proceedings were opened against me directly. While the matter regarding the Network Enforcement Act was quickly settled, a malicious DMCA strike is still at play that I have to fight against to protect myself from his claims for damages.
It is also important to me that Twitch lifted the blockade of our content solely because of my counterstatement. It took a month until the video was actually released again.
When I followed this, I saw that the server operator Dennis Werth had actually already ended the matter and wanted to unban you. Then the conflict boiled over again – how did that happen?
There were talks. However, no agreement was reached. I also feel deceived. Because everything that came from the other side only aimed to obscure their actions and defame me as the attacker, while I am merely defending myself against his legal actions.
The climax of this sad show was his public advice to just let it be. Every streamer has three copyright strikes available before being banned on Twitch, I should just accept this. Imagine being falsely accused and someone recommends that you simply swallow the punishment, which amounts to an admission of guilt. I find that presumptuous. Especially since I would thereby provide him with the basis to enforce claims for damages against me.

On September 28, the topic was actually already over.
Twitch streamer says he owes it to the donors to carry through with the lawsuit
How much money have you raised so far, and do you really want to proceed with the lawsuit in the USA?
We reached our first milestone after just five days, and over €5,000 have been donated. I had to read some of the funniest things about it. This whole thing is allegedly just an “exit scam”.
We owe it to the donors to push things forward as planned, to ultimately hold written confirmation in our hands: that I was unlawfully censored by the streamer Heideltraut under the misuse of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Mr. Henker, thank you for the conversation.
We at MeinMMO regularly deal with streamers from Germany:
Those who have followed Destiny 2 from the beginning know how extensive the story is, making it even more tragic when half of the story ends up in the Content Vault. Many new Lights do not understand how the connections are woven together. This puts Bungie in a bad spot and deters new players.
What is meant by Content Vault? The Content Vault exists to “store” old content for an indefinite time. This means that old content will no longer be accessible. You will no longer be able to play or earn old areas or missions from past seasons. This creates space for new content, making it easier for Bungie to update Destiny 2.
Many players are against this, as it takes away the opportunity for new players to better understand Destiny 2 and the story. Guardians who have been around longer miss well-crafted missions or areas that have provided variety during some dreary Destiny 2 days.
Players do not understand why Lord Saladin hates the Cabal
What is the problem? Especially new players starting Destiny 2 do not understand many connections or even story fragments. Dialogues from NPCs are confusing, as events are mentioned that are no longer present.
Many new Lights know nothing about the invasion of the Red Legion
A player on Reddit describes his situation very well; he tried to bring his friend closer to Destiny 2 and the story, and this is what happened:
I have a friend I play with regularly, who I tried to get closer to Destiny 2, but he did not understand the story that I and a few others discussed. It definitely made him feel like he did not belong, and in the end, he stopped showing up.
New players get lost in pure confusion, as no connections can be made. Questions arise such as:
Who is the Red Legion?
Why does Lord Saladin hate the Cabal?
Who is Ghaul and what did he do?
What is Caiatl’s relation to these events?
And many other questions that are not actively answered in the current version of Destiny 2. Since the lore unfortunately has to be unlocked in the collection and old lore fragments are no longer collectible, new players already reach their limits.
Bungie is shooting itself in the foot: The Content Vault is not well-received by older players, nor by new players. Through this “feature” of storage, older Guardians have no opportunities to visually explain the story to the new Lights.
This deters new players, and Bungie loses out on growth. No one wants to play something they do not understand.
It is clear, however, that Destiny 2 is generally a very complex game. Programming and evolving it is no easy task, as the development team has also gone through an odyssey to find out what course exists for the title’s continuation.
Bungie is in a pinch. Finding a middle ground in this problem is not easy.
How to find a remedy? Here, YouTubers who are well-versed in lore offer their help. They create videos in which they outline and present the story, as well as connections or theories.
They go through all the important points step by step and convey it to the viewer in a way that every new Guardian can understand. If videos do not appeal to you and you prefer quiet hours of reading, you can find websites that have documented the lore and every lore book.
This way, you can acquire a basic knowledge of the story and possibly discuss this with comments from the community.
What do you think of the current situation of Destiny 2? Do you think we will succeed in the fight against the Darkness if new Lights keep throwing in the towel? Let us know in the comments what you think!

The first update since the official release of Battlefield 2042 has been released today. The patch addresses several issues with weapon balance. MeinMMO tells you how this changes the meta.
Today, on November 25, 2021, the first of 2 updates for Battlefield 2042, announced by EA and DICE for the coming days, was released. The second patch is expected to be released in early December.
The update today addressed several significant issues. In particular, the reduced spread of assault rifles was highly anticipated.
The patch also modified the equally popular and feared PP-29. We will tell you what changes it underwent. We will also reveal how this affects the weapon meta. Instead of the PP-29, you should now use 3 other weapons.
PP-29 harder to use after patch
The PP-29 has so far been one of the most played weapons in Battlefield 2042. That could change with the patch.
The PP-29 still has a lot of ammunition with a fast reload animation. Its quick handling remains a great advantage. However, its greatest strength was how dangerous it was at range.
Because the PP-29 had little recoil, it was a good choice in almost any situation. It shot accurately at range and strongly in close combat. Therefore, it was very easy to play. However, this significant strength has now been lost due to the patch.
Why is the PP-29 weaker now? The PP-29 has significantly more recoil since the update. This makes the weapon much harder to use and less effective at range. Due to its slow fire rate, it cannot compensate for this weakness with short bursts of fire.
After the adjustments, the PP-29 is no longer a disguised assault rifle; instead, it is a submachine gun in the classic sense: strong in close combat, adequately good at medium distances, and poor beyond that.
Since the PP-29 was never the best submachine gun for close combat, there are now better alternatives for all situations. We specifically name 3.
3 weapons replace the PP-29
With the changes in the update, weapons that were previously outclassed by the PP-29 have become relevant again. In particular, 3 weapons are now strong alternatives:
M5A3
Why is this weapon now better than the PP-29? Because the spread of assault rifles has been significantly improved thanks to the new update, the M5A3 is finally worth recommending.
The weapon is completely average in terms of values, but that is its advantage: The M5A3 is never the best weapon, but a good choice in most situations. Since situations in Battlefield 2042 can change quickly, you are always well-equipped with the M5A3.
This very property has previously distinguished the PP-29. However, after the patch, this is more true for the M5A3. The assault rifle is therefore a good direct replacement for the PP-29. Attachments still help to respond to various situations with the weapon.
Pro
Has no special weaknesses
Good fire rate
Low recoil
Many attachments make the weapon even more versatile
Contra
Has no special strengths
Fails against other weapons in extreme situations
MP9
Why is this weapon now better than the PP-29? After the patch, we believe the MP9 is the new best submachine gun in the game – but you unlock it significantly later.
The biggest disadvantage of the MP9 compared to the PP-29 was its high recoil. Thus, the weapon was harder to use for similar yields.
This has changed due to the patch: The recoil of the MP9 is now comparable to that of the PP-29. With its higher fire rate, the MP9 can utilize short bursts of fire better at range. Consequently, it is more effective at range than the PP-29.
The MP9 was already a significantly better weapon in close combat before the patch. These strengths remain intact. With attachments, the MP9 can improve significantly. It even has a magazine with 50 rounds available – giving it similar ammunition capacity to the PP-29.
Thus, the PP-29 has lost its strengths against the MP9 with the patch, without the MP9 having to relinquish its own strengths. Therefore, the MP9 is often stronger than the PP-29.
Pro
Recoil is easy to control, but…
Very high fire rate
Very strong in short bursts
Very good hip fire
Quick handling
Contra
… only the recoil is very high
Very little ammunition in the standard magazine
Low damage
Unusable at longer distances
PBX-45
Why is this weapon now better than the PP-29? If you prefer submachine guns over assault rifles, the M5A3 may not be your favorite alternative. Here comes the PBX-45 into play. After the nerf of the PP-29, the PBX-45 is the new best all-round submachine gun.
It may not excel at anything in particular, but it is not truly bad in any regard either. Therefore, the PBX-45 is never a bad choice. Unlike the MP9, it is also available from the start.
The weapon is effective at almost all distances and can be well controlled despite relatively high recoil. Many attachments make the weapon even more flexible.
Even though the PP-29 remains a good weapon – we believe these 3 alternatives are now better. Will you replace the PP-29 with one of these weapons? Or will you remain loyal to the previously dominant submachine gun? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
The Netflix hit Squid Game was recently recreated with great attention to detail by YouTuber MrBeast. 456 players were chased through the games from the series, and in the end, there was $456,000 in prize money. Here’s how the fun event unfolded.
What is Squid Game? The series “Squid Game” is available on Netflix and originates from South Korea. From there, the series became a worldwide success. In the series, 456 heavily indebted people compete in a series of children’s games. However, those who lose are killed, and the last survivor is supposed to receive an absurd prize money.
What was the Real-Life Squid Game? The YouTube channel MrBeast (75 million subscribers) created his own real version of Squid Game for a total of $3.5 million and a lot of effort his own, real version of Squid Games. MrBeast is known for crazy challenges and events, so such a Squid Game fits perfectly with his style.
Many details of the game clearly correspond to the series template, including the players’ outfits, the set design, the games, and the creepy guards with their masks.
As in the series, 456 selected players, including various content creators, were to reenact the games from the series and ultimately win a cash prize.
Here’s how the real Squid Game unfolded
What were the rules? Faithful to the template of the series, the known games were played. Only the last game, the namesake “Squid Game” was omitted. Probably because it involves a brutal fight that wouldn’t be appropriate for a fun event like this.
Of course, no one was shot or killed otherwise. Every player had a small “bomb” attached to their stomach, and if someone was caught, the little explosive would explode. The effect was audible and visible but did not cause any lasting damage.
The prize money at the end of the game amounted to $456,000, which a lucky winner was supposed to claim.

How did the game proceed? MrBeast and his helpers had the participants play all the games from the series in the correct order. The surrounding context, such as the waiting room between games with the money ball, was also faithfully recreated. The games were in detail:
Green Light, Red Light: Here, the players had to cross a field within 30 minutes, but they could only run when the command “Green Light” was heard. Anyone who moved during the command “Red Light” was “eliminated”. Only 232 players “survived” the first round.
Cookie Figures: In 10 minutes, the players had to remove a randomly assigned figure made of sugar from a mold with a needle, without breaking it. In the end, only 142 players remained.
In between, people could voluntarily leave the game for a few thousand dollars, leaving only 120.
Tug of War: In 12 teams of 10, tug of war was held on a high bridge. However, no one had to throw themselves off to their death. The hole in the middle was filled with foam. As 6 of the 12 teams were eliminated, only 60 players remained.
Marbles: Here, the players were divided into 30 groups of 2, and each received 10 marbles. The goal was to somehow get the other person’s marbles. To increase the drama, the groups were made up of players who got along well. Only 30 “survived” this round.
In the series, there was also a major massacre between the games. This was, of course, solved differently, and they played a small game that eliminated some players. 16 players advanced.
“Glass” Bridge: The most treacherous game in the series made players cross a bridge of 2 parallel plates in random order. One plate was rigged to fall when a person stood on it. Those who fell, however, did not plunge several meters to their death but landed in a pit of foam. As in the series, there were also conflicts here, as various players refused to go first. Only 6 players made it.
The winners received their “last meal” with steaks and (plastic) knives.
As the final game, instead of Squid Game, the less brutal “Musical Chairs” was played. Eliminated players, morbidly, were placed in the coffin boxes known from the series. Player 079 ultimately won the $456,000.
How was the atmosphere? The atmosphere was completely different from that in the series. Because while there, after the first death, a mass panic and a huge massacre breaks out and no one has anything to laugh about, here a lively atmosphere prevailed. The players were having a blast, and even those who were eliminated still smiled happily at the camera.
This seemed somewhat bizarre, especially when the brutal images from the series are in mind. Especially in scenes where the eliminated players lay motionless on the ground all around the gaming arena while the winners continued to cheer happily. MrBeast was constantly cheerful and seemed to be having the time of his life.
As the rounds progressed, the atmosphere became more intense, especially at the bridge, where several players refused to push forward as pioneers and thus were always in danger. Despite all the fun, it was still about a lot of money, and you could certainly see the ambition in some players.
How was the video received? The viewers’ reactions on YouTube were also overwhelmingly positive. The comments praised the great attention to detail and the effort of MrBeast. Only about 6,000 ratings are negative, while almost 4 million (as of November 25) are positive.
In the end, MrBeast congratulated the winner, by the way, on winning the first real-life Squid Game. So there will likely be more versions in the future. What do you think of the real Squid Game? A funny blast or tasteless and macabre since the series has a very serious background? Let us know in the comments.
The streamer Imane “Pokimane” Anys is one of the most famous figures on Twitch. In a recent stream, the 25-year-old talks about how a former employee once cheated her out of a substantial sum and how she deals with it.
However, she is also an entrepreneur with employees and staff. In a stream, she talked about her experiences as a boss.
Applicant for YouTube Manager position was incredibly convincing
Who is the employee? Pokimane does not mention a specific name, only that she hired the ex-employee as a YouTube manager in 2019. As such, he was supposed to manage the entire YouTube channel of the streamer, as Pokimane explains. This includes:
Developing content ideas
Managing all editors
Meeting upload deadlines
In fact, the streamer already had two such managers. However, the new applicant was so convincing that she had to hire him. This turned out to be a mistake.
Why did Pokimane hire him? According to Pokimane, the employee presented an incredibly strong portfolio. His application was so good that she was completely sure:
“The guy wrote me MLA-formatted, freaking long paragraphs with things about things he would do. That was the most convincing thing I’ve ever read or seen. So I said: Okay. Let’s go.”

This is how much the employee received: In his application letter, the ex-manager demanded a whopping $8,000 (around €7,100) as monthly pay. Pokimane says that while this was a lot, she was willing to pay it.
For three months, she paid him, amounting to $24,000 or €21,393. However, he was not worth it, as she explains: “This guy generated less than $200 in value in the first month. No joke.”
Instead, he just kept sending her new documents with his plans. Pokimane even believed that he was actually trying hard. However, all documents are now private, so Pokimane can’t show them.
Why didn’t she end the relationship earlier? Pokimane explains that it took her a while to realize that she was being cheated. The ex-manager’s documents were extensive and convincing.
However, after one of those texts, she slowly began to notice that they were not written for her at all. She saw no successes, and the employee even once missed a week without excuse, supposedly because a family member was sick.
She thought he was collaborating with the other managers. Pokimane says: “He was so good at writing excuses and justifications.” In the end, the ex-manager even tried to negotiate. At that point, Pokimane finally ended the collaboration.

This is how the streamer reacts: In the business relationship, she became colder and ceased unnecessary niceties to demand performance as it was lacking. Today, Pokimane reacts much more calmly to the situation.
She even laughs and explains: “I tell you, seriously: I was his Sugar Mama.”
A Sugar Mama (male counterpart: Sugar Daddy) is a wealthy woman who pays someone to perform services for her that she doesn’t really need. Ultimately, it involves a Sugar Mama paying someone to spend time with her.
Even before the story with her ex-manager, Pokimane talked about how she now handles problems. She says: “I care way less about things than I did three years ago. It’s really pleasant. I still care about important things, but not everything else.” This seems to be part of the process of growing up.
Pokimane is not the only successful businesswoman who has to deal with unpleasant employees and partners on Twitch or other platforms. The well-known streamer Amouranth has also had experiences with this.
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.
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!

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
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”.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.

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:
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:
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 was looking for a new LoL team.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
More news about Hearthstone and WoW can be found here:
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?

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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
If you are now looking for the perfect gaming monitor for yourself, then best check out our buying guide here on MeinMMO. Here we present the best monitors for Full HD, WQHD, and 4K and also have a price tip for you:
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):
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.
More about WoW and WoW Classic can be found here on MeinMMO:
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.
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.
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.
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.

Currently, it is not known how Jensen’s future will play out.
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:
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.
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.
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:
