In Call of Duty: Warzone a bad player got lucky and made it to the final. He also had a perfect position and his opponent trapped. Nevertheless, he ruined his chance at victory in the most embarrassing way!
What was the situation? A Warzone player and reddit user named SMOKEYx64 had already been eliminated in a match of CoD Warzone. But he kept watching to see how the final duel between the two last players in the lobby would turn out.
Such rounds are usually epic duels to the death in CoD Warzone when the two best players in the lobby fight with highly equipped weapons for the final victory.
But this time, the situation was different because the player Smokey was watching had only one kill, which did not reflect well on his skills in the game.
Used an entire magazine and still missed
How badly did it go further? The modest statistics hinted at something worse to come. Because anyone who makes it to the final with little performance is often a type of player who somehow scrapes through the game and encounters little resistance through luck, while the much better players are meanwhile decimating each other.

Nevertheless, the 1-kill player was very lucky, as he was able to spot his last opponent below a hillside and had a golden opportunity with his fully automatic rifle equipped with a scope and a 60-round magazine to earn an epic victory in the Warzone.
So he aimed, targeted, and shot. However, his shots went almost completely off-target, and he only grazed the opponent’s body armor rarely. Meanwhile, the opponent was running around like a startled chicken while bullets were hitting all around him.
How did the drama end? In the end, the entire magazine was empty, and the opponent was still cheerful. However, with a decisive shot from his sniper rifle, he was finally able to take down the enemy. The enemy, however, had a self-revive available.
Driven by the thrill of the hunt, the shooter then left his position and wanted to climb down the hillside. However, he miscalculated completely and tumbled down the cliff like a fool, breaking all his virtual bones and ending his existence in the Warzone.
This way, he thoroughly and completely blew a unique opportunity as an extremely mediocre player to win a final in CoD Warzone. His opponent, who was probably not exactly a top player either, must have been surprised and certainly pleased that he suddenly became the champion of the round without any action.
Has something like this epic mishap ever happened to you, or would you like to witness such colossal failures? Then let us know in the comments!
The Outpost Rush aims to provide a home for all PvP fans who cannot participate in the wars for territories in New World. But the mode was disabled a few days after release due to bugs. Now it should actually return, but it is already shut down again after just a few hours.
What exactly happened? On Saturday, October 23, Community Manager Luxendra announced in the forum that the Outpost Rush can be played again. This mode was originally disabled in early October because of some bugs.
These “critical errors” were said to have been fixed by Luxendra, which is why the PvP mode could be used again.
But the joy about the mode lasted only a few hours. Because on the same day, the Outpost Rush was disabled again.
As CM Tosch reported, errors occurred again:
Hello everyone,
sorry that it took a bit longer to give you an update.
We made the Outpost Rush available for a few hours last night. Unfortunately, there were again some issues that prevented players from having a good gaming experience in the Outpost Rush. Therefore, we decided to disable the mode again. The Outpost Rush will return once the issues for the affected players are resolved.
We apologize for the inconveniences and thank you for your patience and understanding.
What are the problems? On reddit, some players shared their experiences with the PvP mode. They noticed the following issues:
The UI was completely gone after joining the mode.
Some players were not flagged for PvP in the match, making them invulnerable to both sides.
There were bugs with summoned creatures.
Some players could not leave the Outpost Rush after the game ended. Their character was permanently trapped in it.
However, there are numerous reports of how successful the mode is and how important it will be in the endgame of New World.
Outpost Rush brings fun – and a lot of money
What makes the mode so interesting? The Outpost Rush is a PvP mode that can be entered anytime through the faction NPC once you reach level 60. Therefore, you do not have to wait for wars in the area or specifically look for a group with other players.
In this mode, two groups of 20 players each fight against each other. They battle over outposts, conquest points, and can venture out to gather materials to strengthen their outposts.
Additionally, there are plenty of side tasks, like bosses that can be defeated for buffs, or the Corrupted, which can be deliberately unleashed on the enemy.

Why is the mode so well received? The Outpost Rush is a mix of PvP and PvE, offers similarly intense battles as in the wars, and above all, brings in a lot of cash. Many players therefore consider the mode to be the best endgame content currently available in New World.
Winners receive up to 450 coins (depending on their position on the scoreboard), Azoth, and a gear crate
Losers receive up to 350 coins, slightly less Azoth, and also a gear crate
When will the Outpost Rush return? The PvP mode will only be reactivated once all errors have been fixed. When exactly that will be the case is currently unknown.
Have you been able to try the Outpost Rush already? Or are you still desperately waiting for your first round?
The Outpost Rush is currently not the only content causing issues:
The research breakthrough in November 2021 at Pokémon GO is currently causing criticism in the community. Why is the selected Pokémon seen as so bad by trainers? We show you the discussion.
What research breakthrough is it about? When trainers complete a field research task for seven days in Pokémon GO, they receive a Pokémon encounter as a reward. The Pokémon changes every month.
In November 2021, Skallyk is the research breakthrough in Pokémon GO. And the selection is not to the trainers’ liking at all. Is the Pokémon really that bad?
Research breakthrough in November 2021 with Skallyk
What kind of Pokémon is that? Skallyk is of the types Dark and Flying and comes from the fifth generation of games. Its evolution is Grypheldis.
Skallyk is not new to the game; you can already find it in Pokémon GO for some time. However, until now, only as loot from the 12-km eggs.
How strong is Skallyk? The base form Skallyk has no notable strengths. Its evolution Grypheldis, on the other hand, is a good choice for trainer battles. In the overview from Gamepress.gg, Grypheldis scores 4 out of 5 points in the Super League, making it on par with Duodino, Flunschlick, and Alola Raichu.
In the Hyper League, Grypheldis also reaches 4 out of 5 points and is similarly strong as Feelinara, Tauboss, or Pixi.
Stallyk and its evolution Grypheldis
Why is the community dissatisfied?
This is what trainers say: The announcement of the research breakthrough with Skallyk was poorly received by trainers. On reddit, Pokecrafter320 writes, “Skallyk as a research breakthrough. We have reached a new low.”
The comment is being actively discussed. Half-Right writes, “What? Skallyk is much better than most other research breakthroughs that have existed. Grypheldis is still relevant in the Super League and the Hyper League.”
But many other trainers counter that they have already seen and hatched the bird so often. “I have hatched so many diaper birds that I actually let out an extremely annoyed sigh when I saw the breakthrough. Skallyk is my most hated Pokémon lol,” writes SpookyKoops.
And many agree. Skallyk is so frequently available as loot in the 12-km eggs that it is unnecessary to receive more specimens through the research breakthrough.
“I’m looking forward to the raid bosses, but the research breakthrough is bad. Skallyk is the one thing you don’t want to get from the 12-km eggs. What makes them [Niantic] think we want it in the research breakthrough?” asks killertapir on reddit.
“Skallyk is a way, way better choice than Makabaja but also way, way worse than many other Pokémon they could have chosen. It’s a 5/10,” says Dahks on reddit.
This is the problem: Many trainers wish for a stronger research breakthrough that has greater significance in the game. Especially at the beginning of the research breakthroughs, the choices were quite different.
In September 2018, trainers were really happy about the research breakthrough because it gave players the legendary Pokémon Entei. There hasn’t been any sign of legendary Pokémon in the breakthroughs for a long time.
How do you like Skallyk as a choice for the research breakthrough in November? Do you think the Pokémon is good and are you looking forward to it, or have you already collected so many specimens from the 12-km eggs that you don’t need any more? Let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with our community about it.

In the LoL Worlds 2021, the Mad Lions faced DWG Kia on Sunday in the quarterfinals. The Koreans are considered the best team in the world in League of Legends. MAD Lions were the last hope of Europe.
This is the situation:
The MAD Lions are the current champions in Europe, but they had a tough time at the LoL Worlds and barely made it to the quarterfinals. As group second, they had to face a group first. They were the only team from Europe still in the tournament.
DWG Kia are the current champions in Korea and the 2020 world champions. The team around Midlaner Showmaker won all 6 games in the group stage.
The chances for MAD Lions were seen before the game as “hopeless” to “they need a miracle.”
This is how the games went: Anyone who still hoped before the match that the MAD Lions could create a miracle quickly found themselves in harsh reality: It was a 0-3 defeat for the Europeans.

Normally, when playing against DWG Kia, one expects that Midlaner Showmaker will decide the matches. He is considered an exceptional player. However, Showmaker had a – for his standards – rather “quiet” series and primarily picked up assists: In the end, he had stats of 13-9-33.
The problem this time was that his partner, the jungler Canyon, also reached operating temperature. MAD Lions allowed him “Lee Sin” three times, and Canyon, the MVP of the 2020 finals, felt far too comfortable on the Blind Monk. He secured 14 kills, 31 assists, and only died 4 times.

Top-laner Khan has switched twice to the current world champion
What’s up with Khan? Kim “Khan” Dong-ha (25) is considered one of the best top-laners in the world. But his involuntary career-ending due to conscription is looming. He apparently wants to win another title at all costs and has already switched from his current team to the respective world champion twice:
In 2020, Khan switched from FunPlus Phoenix to DWG KIA – this time the switch seems to pay off
Khan is the only one in DWG Kia who has not yet won a world championship title. This could change soon.
This is how the game is perceived: On reddit, there is verbal admiration for the performance of DWG Kia. The support player Beryl is highlighted, who rarely shines among all the stars of DWG Kia, but is also an exceptional player. He has played 8 champs in 9 games and consistently delivered his performance.
However, the real difference-maker in these matches was jungler Canyon. It is astonishing: he is not only ridiculously good but also absurdly consistent in his performances. The victory of DWG Kia is summarized by some as “Canyon Gap”, which makes the difference.

This is what happens next: In the semifinals, DWG Kia will face T1. The clash of the Korean top teams is seen as an advanced final. There, the legendary Faker meets his worthy successor in the mid lane, Showmaker.
It is believed that whoever wins this will then crush Gen G in the final. Although Gen G still has to qualify for the final. They first have to get past Cloud 9 and then deal with EDward Gaming (China).
Currently, the probability is high that DWG Kia will also secure the LoL Worlds in 2021. They simply have too much firepower. After going 9-0, a “perfect LoL Worlds” is even still possible: this is what it is called when one wins the Worlds without losing a single game.
However, the Worlds had a somewhat strange start for DWG Kia:
A small change is making Hearthstone players angry. Because the Mercenary Mode has been nerfed and is now more challenging.
The discontent among Hearthstone players is significant. A glance at the subreddit for the game or the official forum reveals many threads and comments from players who are furious. To them, the hotfix is clearly an attempt to take the fun out of the new Mercenary Mode.
What is going on with the Mercenary Mode? To equip the various mercenaries in Mercenary Mode and collect their coins, players must complete certain tasks. These are available only once daily. However, further missions could be obtained by stepping on the “question mark” field during a bounty hunt. There, players encounter one of several different events. This could be, for example, a teleport directly to the final boss, an “Explosive Potato” as an additional creature on the board – or indeed a strange stranger.
The strange stranger granted an additional quest for one of the mercenaries currently in the team. This allowed players to effectively receive “infinite” quests per day.
What has changed? Blizzard has lowered the chances of the strange stranger appearing when a mercenary in the group has a much higher level than would be appropriate for the current bounty.
For example, someone with their level-30 Arthas consistently farming the low-level elemental could quickly unlock several quests. Now, the chances of this happening have been drastically reduced by the hotfix.
Blizzard itself justifies it by saying that they want to “encourage players to choose more exciting gameplay instead of repeatedly completing low-level heroic bounties with over-leveled characters.”
What are the consequences? Players are receiving quests for their mercenaries significantly slower. If they want to reliably obtain quests now, they must take on high-level tasks.
These not only have many more battles and thus take significantly more time, but in many cases also come with the “disadvantage” that weaker mercenaries cannot be brought along to level up alongside them – especially in the tougher bounties, all 6 slots must be filled with well-equipped and trained mercenaries if players want a realistic chance.
The YouTuber “Zeddy” explains this in a bit more detail in his video:

Players vent their frustration: Players wished that Blizzard would go the opposite route – not nerf the easiest method of leveling and collecting coins, but buff the harder methods so that they are rewarding on their own.
For some players, it is clear that Blizzard wants to limit the gain of coins so that players would prefer to spend their money on mercenary packs, which in turn generate real money. In the eyes of some complainers, this was a clear decision based on greed.
The developers want to “rethink the changes,” which at least holds the hope that something will improve again in the near future.
An incident that can only be described as “unfortunate,” as the Mercenary Mode was well received by many players who now – at least for the time being – have no desire to continue.
For FIFA 22 the TOTW 6 (Team of the Week) is on the agenda next Wednesday. At MeinMMO you can find out which players could be part of the new Team of the Week.Salah, Upamecano, and Mats Hummels have good chances.
This is the Team of the Week: Every Wednesday it is time for a new TOTW in FIFA Ultimate Team. This team includes players who delivered outstanding performances in real football during the past football week. These players then receive improved Inform special cards that are available in FUT for one week.
These are TOTW Predictions: In the TOTW Predictions, we present forecasts for the new TOTW from the FUT community. The players’ performances are carefully analyzed and predictions are made.
However, it is important to note that the predictions are not a guarantee for the final Team of the Week 6.
Bayern’s Dayot Upamecano had a strong game against Hoffenheim and provided 2 assists for the 4-0 final score. It is quite possible that he lands in the new TOTW and misses an upgrade for his OTW card.
This is how strong Upamecano could become.
Mats Hummels delivered a strong performance in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-1 victory over Bielefeld and even scored a spectacular goal. Whether that is enough for a place in TOTW 6 will be revealed on Wednesday.
Manuel Riemann kept the goal for Bochum clean and had a big part in the 2-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt. A spot in the new Team of the Week seems possible.
What do you think of the predictions for TOTW 6? Which player should definitely be in the new Team of the Week? Let us know in the comments!

Many people ask about League of Legends: Who is the best champion? According to what professionals selected at the LoL Worlds 2021, the champion Yuumi was among the top in the group stage. The cat has a pick-and-ban rate of 94%, even though she played hardly any role in the play-ins and the regular season.
How do you determine “best champ in LoL”? In LoL, there is a so-called “meta”: This means that certain champions, considered particularly good, are either “picked” in the draft, meaning they are played, or they are “banned,” preventing anyone from playing them in that match.
The champion with the highest pick&ban rate is currently considered the most influential and best champion in the current meta. This can change quickly, and the numbers can still adjust during a tournament.
This is the distribution of champions at the Worlds in the group stage:
In the first 88 games of the LoL Worlds, the champion meta is balanced: A total of 77 champions were chosen.
The champion Yuumi has the highest pick/ban rate in the group stage at 94%. Yuumi was banned 39 times and selected 12 times.
The surprising thing is that Yuumi hardly played any role during the play-ins. She was rarely chosen there. Here, she had a pick&ban rate of only 11%.
What makes Yuumi so special? The cat Yuumi is a supporter who merges with her botlaner to enhance them. This is an extraordinary champion because it puts even more focus on the botlaner and she cannot be attacked herself.
The cat is often criticized for her “passive way of playing”. Some streamers have proven that they can practically play Yuumi “on the side” by using 2 characters simultaneously.
On the other hand, Yuumi is also considered an extremely strong champ. Opinions here vary widely and depend strongly on the play style of a region:
In 2020, Yuumi was outstandingly strong in the solo queue in Europe
The 5 champions at the LoL Worlds with the highest pick&ban rate
What are similarly popular champions? By now, the first knockout games have already been played. And the 5 champions appearing most frequently in drafts are (via gol.gg):
Lee Sin – 26 picks, 36 bans
Twisted Fate – 23 picks, 37 bans
Yuumi – 15 picks, 45 bans
LeBlanc – 18 picks, 38 bans
Lucian – 13 picks – 40 bans
The world-class player Perkz is known as a passionate cat hater in LoL:
In a few days, World of Warcraft will finally see the release of Patch 9.1.5. However, it has little content – and that concerns players. Is it just a “FOMO” patch?
For weeks, the patch has been hotly debated in the WoW community. If it’s not the removal of jokes and flirt lines that overshadows the discourse, then it’s the actual content being discussed. And that’s where the concern lies, because the upcoming Patch 9.1.5 is quite meager.
What is the problem with Patch 9.1.5? The problem is that Patch 9.1.5 lacks a real “selling point,” nothing with the drawing power that can truly keep players engaged for a long time. Although there are a number of improvements that make grinds more pleasant and the game smoother – at its core, the update only enhances content that players have already extensively played for nearly 4 months, which even some hardcore fans find tedious.
It’s good that this content is being improved – but mainly for players who haven’t experienced it yet. And that’s likely to be a very small portion. Returnees could be a potential target group. But can returnees really be lured back to WoW with the promise that the patch fundamentally brings only the Timewalking: Legion and otherwise rehashes old content?
That a time-limited event is the highlight of Patch 9.1.5 has led many players in the WoW subreddit to conclude: It’s just a FOMO patch.
The Mage Tower is back – at least 3 times a year.
What does “FOMO” mean? The term “FOMO” comes more or less from the marketing world and stands for “Fear of Missing Out.”
It typically concerns time-limited offers that intentionally play on potential customers’ fear of missing something important and possibly never having the chance again, or getting it after a very long time, if they do not play the patch immediately.
In the context of MMORPGs, this “FOMO” often occurs with one-time events, but also with shop offers. For instance, World of Warcraft has in the past removed certain mounts from the shop and sold them with a “Goodbye” bundle and the indirect “threat” that the mounts may never return.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
Content in WoW Patch 9.1.5 is only active at certain times
What does this have to do with Patch 9.1.5? For many WoW players, Patch 9.1.5 is precisely such a “FOMO” patch, as the main feature is the Timewalking: Legion along with the Mage Tower. However, this is only active every 18 weeks for one week – with the exception of the first time, as the event lasts for 2 weeks then.
The new cosmetics, which can only be earned each year for 3 weeks, since the event returns every 18 weeks, are thus perceived as a “FOMO” measure. Many players do not understand why Timewalking is not permanently active so that everyone can experience the content whenever they want.
The criticism from some players: Blizzard has only introduced this “FOMO content” to have people sign up for a WoW subscription briefly in the 4th quarter of the year so that it looks good in the quarterly figures later, even if they effectively only want to experience the 2 weeks of the event.
What do you think about Patch 9.1.5? Do you find the content okay? Or is it all too focused on “FOMO” and therefore annoying?

In Destiny 2, the exotic weapon “Telesto” has become a cult favorite: No weapon has caused as many problems as the exotic fusion rifle. On October 16, Bungie temporarily disabled the weapon for all PvP modes, yet ironically, it is active in the new test mode for solo players in Trials of Osiris.
What kind of weapon is it?
Telesto is a fusion rifle that operates in a unique way: The projectiles are small purple spheres that function like sticky grenades and explode.
Telesto constantly causes glitches and bugs because the projectiles of the weapon behave unusually. Bungie continuously removes Telesto from the game – it is already being referred to as the “Telesto curse”.
Destiny 2 can laugh about it already. On October 16, the weapon was disabled in “all” PvP modes.
Telesto just there besto – No weapon has broken Destiny 2 more often
These are the reactions: Telesto is an absolute cult weapon in Destiny 2, precisely because it has ruined the game so often. The comments on YouTube are now just mocking (via youtube):
“Days since the last Telesto incident: 0”
“Not even the developers can stop Telesto anymore”
Shortly after the release of the new patch, Dead by Daylight has to disable many contents. We reveal what is going on again in the only true “killer game”.
By now, it is a sad tradition with Dead by Daylight that new patches almost always come with problems. As soon as the new survivor Mikaela Reid was in the game, a lot had to be disabled again. In total, 5 map offerings and even a perk had to be deactivated due to sudden bugs and issues.
Which contents were disabled? In total, 5 different objects were temporarily deactivated. They are marked in the game with a message that they cannot currently be used.
In total, the offerings from 4 different realms (5 maps) were disabled. These are:
Dead Dawg Saloon
The Game
Yamaoka Estate
Lery’s Memorial Institute
The corresponding offerings that ensure these maps are played cannot be used for the time being. However, you can continue to collect them from the blood webs. It is also still possible for the maps to appear randomly.
Also, a perk was disabled, namely from the latest survivor Mikaela Reid:
Boon: Circle of Healing
This is particularly annoying, as the Circle of Healing was a reason for many players to purchase and also represents the highlight of the current patch.
“Killers have complained too much,” some say – “There was a bug,” know the others.
Why were the maps disabled? Officially, there is no explanation, but players are sharing their experiences in the subreddit and apparently have already figured out why the above-mentioned maps are disabled.
The reason is most likely the “Boon perks” of which Mikaela Reid has two different ones. There are totem spawn points on the above-mentioned maps that killers cannot reach. When a survivor blesses the corresponding totems, the killer simply has no way to counter it.
This is mainly because the killer has a larger hitbox. He cannot get into some small corners that survivors can access. Those few missing centimeters already ensure that the totems cannot be eliminated by the killer.
Why was Circle of Healing disabled? There has also been discussion about the deactivation of this perk. Some on Twitter suspect that “killers have complained too strongly” and that is why the perk was disabled. However, that is probably not the case.
The actual reason seems to be that the perk could cause disconnects. Some survivors report that they healed themselves in the Circle of Healing and were suddenly disconnected from the game upon completion of the healing. This could also happen if the killer destroyed the totem while a survivor was healing.
More news about Dead by Daylight can be found here:
When will the disabled items return? That is not clear yet. According to their own statements, the developer Behaviour is currently working on a hotfix. It is to be assumed that at least Mikaela’s perk will be reactivated in the next few days. Whether the revision of the maps will also happen that quickly or whether they will remain disabled throughout the Halloween event, remains to be seen.
Have you already got Mikaela Reid and are upset now? Or have you wisely waited?

In this guide, we will build an iron farm in Minecraft 1.17. It works with the Bedrock version and also with the Java version on PC. Beginners can easily recreate the farm and quickly farm a lot of iron from golems.
What kind of farm is this? With this farm, you can quickly farm a lot of iron at the beginning of your Minecraft world. You only need easily obtainable items like cobblestone, beds, water, lava, and signs. Our ingredient list will show you exactly what you need.
Keep in mind that this is an iron farm for beginners on PC, and it can still be expanded and enhanced.
Building an Iron Farm with These Ingredients – Item List
What do you need?
68 blocks of cobblestone
Can also be other solid stones. In our example, we call it cobblestone.
5 beds
32 blocks of glass
1 bucket of water
1 bucket of lava
1 chest
4 signs
48 walls
3 hoppers
2 to 5 villagers
The idea for this type of iron farm came from Voltrox on YouTube.
Guide – How to Build the Iron Farm
The beginning: First, scout the area and choose a nice spot for your iron farm. There should be no buildings nearby, or if there are, they should not allow iron golems to spawn on them. There should not be a village with active villagers nearby.
Start with cobblestone. Stack 8 blocks on top of each other and build upwards. The 8th block is the base of a platform – build a 5×5 block platform: 5 blocks wide, 5 blocks long.
Then place the beds as shown in the following image on the platform and place a cobblestone block on the free spots on your platform where there is no bed. This way, the cobblestone blocks will surround the platform, except for a spot where the foot of a bed is positioned at the edge. Make sure to place the beds exactly as shown in the picture.
This is how your beds should be arranged on the platform.
Now place glass blocks on the cobblestone and above the foot of the bed at the edge. Glass surrounds your platform as a wall upwards. The glass wall is two blocks high.
The glass wall surrounds the platform.
Now you can place the villagers in your glass box. You need at least 5 of them. However, 2 are enough; if you throw carrots to your iron workers, they will breed. If possible, get all 5 villagers in right away.
In one corner of the glass, place the chest and on the three free blocks directly beside it, place three hoppers that you connect to the chest with a shift-click.
Now fill the rest of this level with a layer of cobblestone. This is how it will look in the following image:
Chest, hoppers, and cobblestone form the roof.
The mob trap: Now fence off the platform with your wall around the chest+hoppers+cobblestone. The wall should be three blocks high.
On one side of the corner with the hoppers, place two signs: one on the lower wall block directly above a hopper and one on the middle wall block, directly above the first sign.
The 2 remaining signs are placed on the topmost wall block. However, they should not be placed directly above the hopper but in the middle of the wall to the left and right of the hopper. This leaves the block directly above the hopper free and makes room for the lava.
This is how it should look now:
The arrangement of the signs so you can easily place the lava on top of them.
Now fill the bucket with lava on the sign that is placed two spaces above the hopper. The lava should now be contained in the corner.
In the opposite corner, you fill the bucket with water on the ground. This way, the water flows directly towards the hopper and lava.
Lava and water in the basin between your wall elements – this is how the farm looks in the end.
This is how the iron golem trap works
This is what happens: At night, the villagers will go to bed. During the day, iron golems spawn in your enclosed platform every few minutes.
The golems are driven directly into the lava by the water and defeated after several hits. The loot does not burn because the lava is not on the ground. Instead, the iron ingots fall directly into the hoppers and are then directed into the chest.
If you followed our guide, the iron golems will soon be walking into the fire and dropping the loot into your chest.
What you should know: An iron farm like this only works during the day. You should stay nearby and quickly sleep at night to ensure the farm operates efficiently.
How much iron do you earn? In our test, we earned 25 iron ingots in 15 minutes with one platform. If you want, you can set up the farm multiple times and farm even more iron.
Each iron golem drops 3 to 5 iron ingots. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get one or two flowers as well. While this might not be the fastest iron farm, it is a strong start for beginners.
If you have tried the farm, please share your opinion about it in the comments here on MeinMMO. Perhaps you have improvements or other suggestions for Minecraft guides that you can give us as feedback.

Which striker should you field in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team? We will show you the currently most popular strikers and tell you what makes them so strong.
Strikers are probably the most important part of any team. Because without strikers, there are usually few goals. Here we show you a selection of strikers that are currently very popular and score many goals.
What kind of list is this? We list strikers here that are well received in the FUT community (via futbin) and are played the most. We did not consider prices and show you the currently most popular strikers with the most games in FUT 22 (as of October 23, 2021).
Exchangeable cards, such as SBC or task players, are not included on this list as the data for these cards cannot be captured.
1. Erling Haaland (88)
With 1,557,278 games and a goal rate of 1.41, Haaland is the striker with the most games and the most goals in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. But why is he so popular?
This is what makes the striker so popular: Erling Haaland offers a combination that not many players have: He is tall, extremely fast, strong in dribbling, and has outstanding physical stats that help him maintain possession of the ball. In addition, he has fantastic shooting stats (91), and it’s no wonder why so many FUT players rely on the Norwegian.
His only weakness is his right foot, with which you should only shoot at the goal in emergencies.
The cost of the card: You can currently get Haaland for an extremely cheap 17,000 coins.
2. Romelu Lukaku (88)
1,386,336 games have already been played in FUT 22 with Lukaku’s gold card. The card has a strong 1.31 goals per game.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Lukaku, similar to Haaland, has a solid physique, is fast, and has impressive strong shooting stats. Shots inside the box are a piece of cake for the Belgian and should rarely miss the goal. Additionally, Lukaku has 4 stars for his weak foot, making him nearly two-footed.
His only problem: He is a bit clumsy to control.
The cost of the card: Lukaku currently costs about 17,000 coins.
3. Timo Werner (84)
Timo Werner’s gold card currently has 1,162,226 games with a goal rate of 1.19.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Werner is a completely different type of striker than Haaland or Lukaku. Werner is significantly smaller, nimbler, and has an even higher speed. With him, it’s about playing quick counterattacks and leaving the defenders behind.
Werner offers decent shooting stats that can be improved even more with the Finisher chemistry style. Additionally, Werner has 4 stars on his weak foot, which makes scoring much easier.
The cost of the card: You won’t have to reach deep into your FUT wallet for Werner. The striker is already available for 10,000 coins.
4. Memphis Depay (85)
Depay currently has 1,131,954 games in FUT 22 and has a goal rate of 0.92.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Depay is a striker who can excel in all areas. He is fast, has good physicality, strong passing stats, is very good in dribbling, and even offers 5-star skill moves.
He also has fantastic shooting stats, especially highlighting shot power (88). Therefore, you can search for shots excellently with Depay both inside and outside the penalty area.
However, his problem is also his weak foot. The Dutchman only has 3 stars there.
The cost of the card: Depay is already available for around 5,100 coins.
If you’re interested in more about FIFA 22this might also interest you:
If Ronaldo were a bit cheaper, he would probably be at the top of this list. Nevertheless, it is impressive that a card with such a high price still manages to have 962,267 games. The card has a goal rate of 1.33 goals per game.
This is what makes the striker so popular: There’s not much to say about Cristiano Ronaldo’s gold card. The Portuguese once again has a card in FUT 22 with fantastic stats, making it hard to find any weaknesses. Ronaldo is very fast, has incredibly strong shooting stats, and excels with excellent dribbling.
He also has strong passing stats, very good heading and jumping stats, and possesses 5-star skill moves as well as 4 stars for his weak foot.
The cost of the card: Ronaldo is by far the most expensive player on this list. At the moment, his gold card costs 1.24 million on the FUT transfer market.
6. Ivan Toney (84)
Somewhat surprisingly, the English striker Ivan Toney appears on the list of the most popular strikers. However, his card, which has 939,205 games with a goal rate of 1.16, reveals why.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Toney’s Inform card is a strong upgrade compared to his gold card (76 -> 84) and directly shows why the Englishman is currently so popular. He offers top stats at a reasonable price. If you use an Engine chemistry style, Toney not only has strong shooting stats but also fantastic pace and dribbling stats.
His passing stats, as well as the 3 stars on his weak foot and skill moves, could use some improvement.
The cost of the card: For just 17,000 coins, you can bring Inform Toney into your team.
7. Robert Lewandowski (92)
806,511 games with a goal rate of 1.23 have already been played by FUT players in FIFA 22 with Robert Lewandowski’s gold card.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Unlike in previous years, Lewandowski can finally be recommended in FUT 22, as pace does not play such a dominant role in this FIFA. This year, strong shooting stats, especially with the finesse trait, as well as strong dribbling and physicality, are more important.
All of this is provided by Lewandowski, making him a good choice for the attack and likely to score many goals. Additionally, he has 4-star skill moves and 4 stars for his weak foot.
The cost of the card: You can currently get Lewandowski for about 39,000 coins.
The following strikers are in the further places:
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang
Victor Osimhen (Inform)
Wissam Ben Yedder
Karim Benzema
Paulo Dybala
Kylian Mbappé

In Star Citizen there is a curious new tactic on the test server. A new item allows players to heal others. However, those who receive too much healing will faint. This works even in areas where no PvP is allowed.
This is the situation in Star Citizen:
The SF MMORPG Star Citizen is the “largest indie MMO” in the world. The game has now raised $394 million in funding, initially through crowdfunding, later mainly through the sale of digital ships.
A release is not in sight, but the game is regularly expanded. Currently, patch 3.15 is being tested on the public test server (PTU).
Patch 3.15 introduces the new “healing system” to the game. A “healing gun” creates strange effects.

Weapon heals through drugs, can make players faint from overdose
This is the curious item: With 3.15, a new “healing gun” comes to Star Citizen. With the weapon, you can give other players a healing drug. But if you overdo it and give a player an overdose of healing, they will faint.
These are the effects: A player demonstrates on the test server how people intentionally “overheal” others and thus make them faint. In the state of unconsciousness, players are defenseless (via youtube). As the site Kotaku writes, they can be dragged around and even stripped of their inventories: The players end up in their underwear.
A player on reddit says: “A small group” of players does this and trolls people with the tool. The first time it happened to him, it was quite funny. Because at least they left his stuff alone. But when the patch goes live, this could become a problem.
In the Star Citizen forum, forum user Kinesis is outraged about the problem: This should have been seen coming. If someone wanted to design a stun gun, they should do so – but not as a healing cannon. The use of such a weapon must be illegal in peaceful areas.
This is what it’s all about: This is a bizarre problem that only occurs on the test server and likely won’t be going live. Players are already demanding that you can only heal people in the party or that you must give consent to be healed by others.
The exciting thing is that it shows how seriously Star Citizen takes its systems and how convoluted the systems can quickly become: If a gun can heal, it does so through a drug. When a drug is administered, an overdose can occur as well.
In ‘normal’ games, this would not have been considered and would be a problem that doesn’t arise.
Star Citizen has now raised nearly $400 million from ship sales and donations, yet there are many conflicts surrounding the game:
This week, Battlefield 2042 introduced the new mode “Hazard Zone,” which combines PvP and PvE elements. What do you think about this new mode?
This is Hazard Zone: DICE officially announced the new mode Hazard Zone for their upcoming shooter Battlefield 2042 on October 14. It is supposed to be the counterpart to Warzone in CoD, but it is not a battle royale.
Instead, the developer focuses on a mode that mixes PvP and PvE elements: it is somewhat reminiscent of the Dark Zone from The Division. Therefore, you will not only fight against other players but also against NPCs that complicate your (survival) in this mode.
Your goal is not, as often, to eliminate your opponents, but to collect important data drives and then get extracted from the zone.
These phases will be present: A match of Hazard Zone is divided into 5 sections:
Phase 1: You can receive info about your starting point on the map during a briefing and equip yourself accordingly
Phase 2: You will be dropped on the map and start exploring
Phase 3: Since your objective in this mode is to recover the data drives, you need to comb through the battlefield. Special “Intel Scanners” will assist you.
Phase 4: About halfway through the elapsed time, the first extraction opportunity will become available. The point for this will appear at a random location on the map
Phase 5: In the final phase, you will get one last chance to be extracted from the area. But be mindful of the approaching storm; otherwise, you may not be able to escape from the zone.
In total, 2 teams can safely leave the Hazard Zone. Your priority is more on the data drives than on eliminating your teammates.
This is how big the Hazard Zone will be: The number of players per match depends on your console. Players of the old generation will have to settle for slightly smaller rounds:
24 players on Xbox One and PS4
32 players on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5
You can watch the trailer here:
This is how you can vote: Cast your vote on the new mode using the survey tool below. You can only assign one vote overall, and the vote cannot be undone.
Get started: What do you think of the mode? Do you like the mix of PvP and PvE elements, or would you have preferred a pure PvP mode? Would you perhaps prefer a “normal” battle royale like in Warzone? And what do you think about some players wishing for Hazard Zone to be a free-to-play mode? Let us know in the comments.

The action RPG Diablo II Resurrected has now been out for a month. But for many, a smooth online gaming experience, as they hoped for, is still not possible 30 days after the release. Angry posts are appearing in the forums by the hour, raising serious accusations against Blizzard. The queues and instability of the servers are wearing on the players’ nerves.
However, there are significant server issues with Diablo II Resurrected. They have led to crashes and prolonged outages. As Blizzard states, people were playing it “too modern”:” They are doing too many boss runs. In this, players start a new game, kill a boss, close the game, and start a new round. Since many more people are doing this in 2021 than before, the servers can’t handle it.
As a counter to the problem, there are now restrictions on how often new games can be created (via twitter), and there are queues. But many players are still dissatisfied with the current state of Diablo II Resurrected. Especially on Saturday, there were angry protests: Diablo II seemed to be bursting at the seams on Saturday evening our time.
Players threaten with lawsuits, want their money back
This is the mood: When you look into Blizzard’s official forums, it is full of players expressing their frustration towards Blizzard. They demand their money back or threaten with lawsuits. Generally, it is stated:
The queues are “a disgrace” – one would be stuck in the queue for too long
Online gaming of Diablo 2 is also unstable – one is often kicked from the queue, has to start over, and falls back to the end
Some people demand their money back and say Blizzard is ruining its reputation, which would also negatively affect Diablo 4
Some believe that the high server load is a problem that is also caused by “Chinese botters.” Apparently, the item trading via Ebay is making the game popular for people who are farming Diablo II specifically to sell items on Ebay.
A glimpse into the Diablo forum shows an angry community threatening with lawsuits and demanding their money back.
This makes the situation so difficult for Blizzard: Blizzard is one of the most popular software companies because they have earned a reputation for releasing clean and polished games that come out in a “more mature state” than comparable products from the competition.
The criticism of Diablo II is not directed at the game itself, but at the server structure and the stability of the servers. But it is essential that the servers run well and stably to play Diablo 2 online.
Here, the impression arises that Blizzard has not considered everything in a “relatively easy” task and now seems overwhelmed. Especially the statement that players are playing “too modern” is bitter for some:
For they say: They have already been intensely doing the farm runs with high server load 20 years ago.
According to Blizzard’s statement, however, many more people are doing this today than back then. This is apparently the problem.
The situation is also so challenging for Blizzard because they have had so few releases in recent years: And there has been a lot of criticism of Warcraft III Reforged, the last remaster. Everything was supposed to go differently with Diablo 2. In itself, the game has also been well received and praised for its technical quality, but the server problems, a month after launch, are now ruining the good mood.
To this comes the difficult situation Blizzard is in anyway since the sexism lawsuit:
In Fortnite there was a World Cup in 2019 where, out of 40 million participants, only one could emerge as the winner. That was Bugha, a young teenager, who trained privately with his father up to that point. But what is he doing today?
Who is Bugha? Kyle Giersdorf, also known by the nickname “Bugha“, is an 18-year-old boy who became known as the winner of the World Cup in 2019. Before that, Kyle was a relatively unknown pro in the Fortnite scene. But what is he doing now?
The time after the World Cup
Bugha – not much has been heard from the world champion in recent months.
What happened after the victory? After his victory, Bugha had to pay taxes on most of his $3 million winnings. Nevertheless, he remains present in the esports scene. However, one could describe his victory as a certain one-hit-wonder, as the competition is fierce. Bugha is one of the talents in Fortnite, but gradually more experts are emerging who could contest his place.
Despite all this, he continues to stream on Twitch and shares his progress on Twitter, which he and his teammates have achieved in various cups.
Furthermore, he promotes his sponsorships, such as with the clothing brand “Hollister” or a new banking institution called “Step.” This allows teenagers to manage their money without hassle and without fees.
His immortalization in Fortnite: Bugha was honored in mid-2021 with a skin from the Icon Series. This skin represents him. As a back bling, he carries the World Cup trophy, in which his dog “Zoey” sits.
That was his Fortnite skin
While other streamers, like Ninja, literally hunted down Epic Games to get a skin resembling themselves, Bugha received it without much fuss.
After all this, there was also a Bugha Cup, which had a prize pool of $100,000. This tournament was held under Bugha’s name and appeared as a reminder of his victory in the World Cup.
Is he still among the best? Among the best, yes, but he is arguably not the best anymore. Another player could contest his place. His name is Diego “Arkhram” Palma and he is 18 years old. Arkhram is a player of the team “100 Thieves” and has been with this team since 2019.
This could be the new expert – Arkhram
In recent seasons, he has developed into one of the best players. He was also part of a team that placed first in the last two Fortnite Champion Series. This is no easy task and only a few players manage to do it. Moreover, he has performed very well in recent Cash Cups.
Arkhram’s performances are still improvable, as he does have his weaknesses in team fights from time to time. Despite this, he comes out with high scores in solo tournaments. Arkhram has achieved great results recently; whether he can continue this towards the end of 2021 remains to be seen.
What do you think about the esports scene in Fortnite? Do you find it cool that Bugha has remained loyal to Fortnite and still plays the game with passion? Let us know what you think in the comments.

In New World there are 3 factions fighting for control of the island. Each of them has their own faction shop where you can spend your faction tokens. In this article, we will show you why it is worth collecting the tokens and especially where you can get them the fastest.
Which factions are present in the game? At the moment (as of October 20, 2021), there are 3 factions that you can join. Each faction has its own representative color.
You can find out what they are called and whether they suit you in this detailed article by MeinMMO author Alexander Leitsch.
Why are the tokens so important? Each faction has a shop where you can exchange your faction tokens for powerful equipment or materials. At level 60, you have full access to important things:
Every dungeon requires a key, and to craft it, you need the corresponding chisel from the faction vendor.
Equipment + Weapons
Especially the level 60 equipment costs a fortune in faction tokens, but they are very powerful. Until you gear up completely with legendary weapons and armor, you can wear these without worries.
The most important items in the shop
How can I collect faction tokens? To collect tokens, you must complete faction missions. In each town, there is a representative from the 3 factions where you can take on a variety of missions. However, there are these 2 types:
PvE missions – Safe but slow
Missions scattered throughout the area.
Advantage: You are undisturbed and safe while traveling. Even if you become incapacitated, you do not lose any progress.
Disadvantage: Fewer tokens. You may lose a lot of time as you have to run across the map to the mission location.
PvP missions – High Risk High Reward
Always the same missions. The 2 missions “Demonstration of Power” and “Infiltration” are almost identical for every faction, except for minor differences. “Sabotage” differs completely – in one faction, for example, you have to chop wood, in the other, hunt pigs. However, the effort is not particularly large.
Advantage: A ton of tokens in a short amount of time + always the same missions, so you know the locations by heart.
Disadvantage: Potential danger of encountering players from other factions who may hinder your progress. If you become incapacitated (even by monsters), you lose all progress and have to start over.
Fast token collection with PvP in these areas
MeinMMO author Phuc-Thi Nguyen has compiled all the important information on this topic in a video, in addition to the article.

Tips & Tricks before you start. PvP missions give you a lot of tokens in a short amount of time, but also bring dangers. So before you set off, we give you some hints to increase your chances of survival.
Find a group – The more, the better, because together you are stronger
Take mobility weapons like fire staff or war axe, because sometimes running away is a good option
Pack potions and food so you can use them in emergencies.
If you’re not looking for a fight, hide behind bushes, so you won’t be seen and can wait until the danger has passed.
In these locations, you can get the most faction tokens per minute: I ran around all day in all areas, spammed faction missions, and measured the time.
Brackwater – 610 faction tokens per minute
Duration ~ 9 min = 5510 faction tokens
Advantage: The best area in terms of price-performance ratio.
Disadvantage: The monsters/animals you need to kill there are level 62+ and can especially give players under level 60 a hard time.
PvP missions in Brackwater
Ebenmaß – 486 faction tokens per minute
Duration ~ 9 min = 4377 faction tokens
Advantage: Although not as profitable as Brackwater, the paths are more manageable, so you don’t have to stay completely active and focused to get to the mission area. A bit more comfortable.
Disadvantage: The monsters can also be very nasty here. For players under level 58 – don’t overestimate yourselves.
PvP missions in Ebenmaß
Deep Gorge (Outpost East Brand) – 406 faction tokens per minute
Duration ~ 4.5 min = 2103 faction tokens
Advantage: Extremely short path to the mission area. Quickly complete the missions
Disadvantage: Provides fewer faction tokens compared to other areas. Also, the faction missions have a 5-minute cooldown, which slows you down a bit.
PvP missions in Deep Gorge
Unstable Coast – 391 faction tokens per minute
Duration ~10 minutes = 3911 tokens
Advantage: One of the most pleasant places to collect tokens. 95% of the time, you just run around, and there are virtually no obstacles. Often, I do other things while spamming PvP missions here.
Disadvantage: Unfortunately, the time-value ratio is not as good as the previous options.
PvP missions in Unstable Coast
Break Mountain – 502 faction tokens per minute (bugged)
At the moment (as of October 22, 2021), unfortunately, bugged – as soon as this is fixed, we will update this article.
In New World server transfers now have side effects. It is said that the biggest Twitch streamer from Hungary invaded an English-speaking server with 500 players and devastated it. On reddit, players are angrily calling for his ban: He is ruining New World. The streamer says people are just upset because they can’t defend their territories against even 50 players.
Who is he?
KriszhAdvice is the most watched streamer in Hungary over the last 365 days. Admittedly, that’s not so hard: Hungary is not known for its large Twitch scene. On average, KrizshAdvice has 1,857 viewers. The biggest streamer in Germany, a certain MontanaBlack, has 25 times as many viewers.
In recent weeks, KrizshAdvice has only played New World and has apparently built a relatively large community there.
Coordinated server transfer via Instagram – post gets 6,000 likes
What he did: On October 23, the streamer called on his followers via Instagram to change the server together. The post has over 6,000 likes (via instagram).
The Hungarian streamer writes: Many had already changed the day before, but then a bug temporarily interrupted the server transfer: Nevertheless, everyone who can should switch. “The clans are ready and will take anyone in our community,” he writes.
“Zerg of 500 players” wants to destroy server
These are the effects: A user from the English-speaking community complains on reddit: The streamer and his fanbase have destroyed their own server (Harmonia EU). Now they have invaded their server Aqulia.
It is said that over 500 people have practically taken over the faction “Marauder. Accusingly it is said on reddit: They wouldn’t write any English on an English-speaking server, but “their” language.
It is said that the streamer would start a zerg rush with “hundreds of people”, takeover cities, and they would harass members of other factions and “mass report people”.
The term “zerg rush” comes from StarCraft: It essentially means overwhelming the opponents with sheer numbers.
What is the demand? In the thread, it is stated that the behavior has “extremely negative impacts on the success of the game”. People should report the streamer and Twitch must enforce their usage rules. They are essentially calling for a ban.
Three clips with more than 4,000 views have been created about the streamer, which are supposed to prove that he is reporting people and destroying the server.
However, the Twitch clips that are supposed to show the streamer’s shameful behavior have now been blocked – apparently by the streamer himself.
These clips are supposed to show what a villain the streamer is and that he deserves to be banned. However, they are no longer accessible.
Streamer calls for help from Amazon
What the streamer says: He turns to Amazon and says in English: People are making things up just to get him banned. They are simply angry that they couldn’t manage to defend against 50 players. Now they want to defend their territories by having him banned.
The players are taking clips out of context to portray it as if he is trying to bully people by reporting them. But if you rewind the clip just one minute, you can see that he is being harassed by the people and he is rightly reporting them.

What’s behind it: This is a particular side effect of the server transfer that was not expected, but actually seems logical. If the server transfer is free, such “server raids” are possible.
Apparently, what critics most feared about “Twitch streamers in New World” has happened on the streamer’s home server: A streamer is popular and coordinates his community so well that his faction dominates a server so much that it is no longer fun for others to engage in PvP:
For those affected on the server that is now being “invaded”, this is a difficult situation because they suddenly face the task of fending off a coordinated attack from outside.
For the streamer and his community themselves, this is certainly a huge fun.
One may be curious how Amazon will handle the situation.
“Streamers” are a red rag for some players; they definitely do not want them on their server because they just cause trouble. With server transfers, there is now the problem that you have to deal with streamers, even if you actually wanted to avoid them:
From October 18 to 24, fans could play two fairly new MMORPGs with New World and Elyon. However, both faced issues this week. We at MeinMMO summarize all important news for you.

The 28-year-old Yilang “Doublelift” Peng is an 8-time US champion in League of Legends. The former pro now works as a Twitch streamer and explains what, in his opinion, is the biggest issue in LoL in October 2021: Players are getting back to full health too quickly when they are in trouble.
Doublelift has always made headlines with bold statements. He does not shy away from criticizing other players and teams: Especially in his own league, the LCS, and about North America, he often expressed his frustrations: “Everyone is garbage”, is one of his most famous quotes.
Now he is addressing what bothers him about LoL: There is too much healing, shielding, and lifesteal in the game.
Goredrinker was changed on the test server in early October.
“Too much in LoL is based on ridiculously high healing”
This is what Doublelift says: The bot laner states (via youtube), the game is currently so balanced that
One can die very quickly
But one can also heal back to full health very quickly.
How often have you seen a clip where an Aphelios heals 1000 HP with each auto-attack? How often have you seen a bruiser whose HP jumped between 0 and 100? They are at 1%, then they proc their shield, lifesteal kicks in, back to full HP. So much of the game is based on ridiculously high healing.
Doublelift
How can LoL solve this? Doublelift says the problem now is that you can only kill a champion like Fiora with Goredrinker by catching her with overwhelming damage, otherwise she “vamps” herself out of everything. However, the healing needs to be that high so it works in the current “high damage” LoL.
If you remove the extreme damage from LoL and reduce it, you slow the game down, people could follow it better, and it would also be possible to reduce the extreme healing and shield effects.
Doublelift believes ultimately the main issue is that there is so much healing and shielding in the game. He wishes that Riot Games would reduce that.
Doublelift has developed some radical views after many years in the business as a “LoL pro”:
