Jens “Knossi” Knossalla will soon start a new game show called Prime Time Games on Twitch. Here, he invites a celebrity colleague to compete against two streamers in various mini-games. The goal is to make the community happy.
What kind of show is this? In a team, Knossi plays together with an unknown celebrity. The other team consists of two Twitch streamers that Knossi has personally selected. The streamers’ goal is to win prizes, but what’s exciting is what happens to the prizes if Knossi wins:
In Prime Time Games, the viewers also win: Here’s what to expect
This is how the show works: In Knossi’s game show, two streamers compete against Knossi and a famous co-player. Each game offers a different prize.
The twist: If the two streamers do not win, the prizes will be raffled among the viewers — so you can also win.
Knossi himself describes his new show idea as an experiment and is unsure how the concept will be received by fans. However, he emphasizes that many people have invested a lot of time and energy in the planning of Prime Time Games.
If the show is well received by his fans, Knossalla plans to continue it. In the future, sponsors will also be included, which could lead to even bigger prizes.
Who are the participants? Not all of the participants in the new game show have been revealed. Only the identities of the two Twitch streamers that Knossi will face are known:
The mysterious celebrity with whom Knossi promotes his stream remains unknown for now. Knossi reveals no more than that fans have long desired this guest. It is therefore not a celebrity from Angelcamp 2. The fans have now compiled their own favorites:
Stefan Raab (TV producer)
Elton (TV host)
Vincent Weiss (musician)
Frank “Tonmann” Sum (famous face from Circus Halligalli & Late Night Berlin)
Here the show will be broadcast: The Prime Time Games will apparently not be broadcast via Twitch. Knossi and his team will rely on the platform Streamblast (via streamblast.com) for the duration of the show. However, it is not entirely ruled out that the event could also run simultaneously on his Twitch account.
When do the Prime Time Games start? If you are already excited, you can jump for joy: Knossi’s Prime Time Games will start this week. It will kick off on Saturday, October 23rd, at 8:00 PM.
The show itself is expected to take no more than four hours. Afterwards, there will be an aftershow, which, due to Knossi’s tight schedule and the joint show with Mario Barth (via streamblast.com), will likely not last too long either.

The Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris are finally getting the long-awaited Freelance mode exclusively for solo players tonight, October 22. The mode is returning as part of the Trials Labs. If you want to play Freelance, it will be available only this weekend.
The community has long been demanding a complete Freelance mode for the Trials of Osiris, where only solo players can participate. Bungie had already made it easier for solo players to play the Trials of Osiris four weeks ago. But that wasn’t enough. Although the player search was disabled, meaning you didn’t need a fixed team anymore, solo players still often faced teams.
With Freelance Lab, that is no longer the case:
Freelance is specifically designed for solo players (3v3).
No pre-made fireteams are allowed to join. You will no longer face teams among the opponents.
The mode has its own point that will be displayed to you on the right side of the normal Trials playlist via the Crucible Navigator.
Of course, solo players can still use the normal playlist if they wish.
That’s why the mode was long overdue: Until this season, the Trials of Osiris were only accessible if you had a full team of three players. When Bungie finally opened the door for solo players, many more players flocked to the Trials, which benefited the mode. So many players had never visited the Trials before.
The problem was that solo players had to almost always compete against teams of three. Teams benefit from better communication, coordination, and implementation of strategy. No wonder the Trials were a frustrating experience for solo players.
The 14th Saint welcomes all solo players this weekend.
Trials teams manipulated the playlist to their advantage
As if that weren’t frustrating enough for solo players, fixed Trials teams also tried to intentionally match up with solo players. This gave them exactly the advantage they needed in the past week to reach the Lighthouse faster and become Flawless.
How was this possible?: We don’t want to disclose exactly how this little cheating worked in detail. Bungie has already fixed the method with the Hotfix 3.3.1.1. It is no longer possible for fireteam leaders to start the Trials if they haven’t reached the required power level.
This is the players’ demand: Although Freelance in the Trials of Osiris in Destiny 2 is not yet available, players are already wishing for this mode to be permanent. Reddit is filled with various posts where players express the same sentiment: Forever Freelance for the Trials.
Trials need a permanent solo playlist, 3-player teams are completely unbalanced and nearly unbeatable. The solo playlist is a fair way to give regular players access to trial loot (except the lighthouse, which is fine). More hardcore players can play in their own challenging 3v3 stack league.
Will Bungie respond to the demand? Bungie will likely depend on how well the mode is ultimately used by players. After all, it is returning only as part of the “Trials Labs”, Bungie’s testing environment for various game modes and changes. For example, four weeks ago, you could also test the Elimination mode as lab rats.
That’s why the Trials are particularly worthwhile right now: Solo players can not only complete their Trials matches in peace this weekend, but also earn double reputation. This makes it easier to obtain the Trials weapons and armor. Or you can farm a good roll of Reed’s Regret or the Trials weapon for Flawless this week “Sola’s Bane” this weekend as a master variant.
Your rewards will be increased even more if you have a full card. Even if you’ve lost one or two matches. So don’t reset the pass repeatedly. Additionally, Bungie has stated that armor drops now have a higher chance of better stats.
How long will the mode be available?: The Trials of Osiris Freelance will only be available this weekend for the time being. It starts today, October 22, at 7 PM with the Daily Reset. And the Trials will end again at the Weekly Reset next Tuesday, October 26.
Will you be tackling the Trials solo this weekend? Or do you think it is a mode that can’t be played well without communication? What are your thoughts on the manipulation of the Trials playlist?

With Battlefield 2042, the series revamps old features like classes or the traditional conquest mode and refreshes the mechanics. Instead of classes, there are 10 specialists at launch, and MeinMMO shows you their abilities.
Update October 22:With a new gameplay trailer, the remaining specialists were introduced. We have extensively revised the article, and you can now find all 10 launch specialists here.
With Battlefield 2042, the series is heading into the future. Not only in terms of setting – the mechanics are also under scrutiny and are supposed to appeal to a new generation of players. In terms of classes, this means: more freedom, more unique abilities.
A total of 10 specialists will be available at launch, equipping you with unique abilities and essentially determining your class. MeinMMO explains the new class system and shows the specifics of each specialist.
[toc]
Battlefield 2042: Classes Explained
How does the class system work in Battlefield 2042? Basically, the familiar class division still exists in Battlefield 2042:
Assault Soldier – Mobile soldier for the front
Support – Support unit, also a medic
Pioneer – Responsible for heavy equipment
Recon – Scout out enemies or disrupt them
In contrast to earlier Battlefield titles, there are significantly fewer restrictions on weapon selection.
Unlike in Battlefield 5, as a recon you can also use weapons with less range, and an assault soldier has access to long-range calibers that were previously only available to a recon. This generally makes classes more variable, and your enemies can no longer easily identify your combat range specialization at a glance.
Your class is determined by your specialist. These are specialized soldiers whose abilities are meant to support your playstyle. Each specialist has an active and a passive ability that we will introduce to you in this article. In the story, most specialists are called “Non-Patriates” – stateless fighters whose home nation has collapsed.
However, you have the freedom to choose within the team and can also take the same specialist as your comrades – this also applies to enemies. In the “Hazard Zone” mode, it’s different – here you can only take one specialist per class.
All Assault Soldiers at the Launch of Battlefield 2042
Assault soldiers are built for the front and generate aggression with their abilities, but they can also use them for protection or retreat.
The Canadian effortlessly reaches positions for which others would need air support. The grappling hook is very versatile and makes Mackay a dangerous soldier who can appear anywhere.
Additionally, you have better mobility when aiming down sights due to the trait “Agile”. Your movement speed is higher when aiming down sights than with other specialists.
Dozer brings a large shield into battle, protecting himself from frontal fire. However, you cannot shoot while the bullets bounce off the shield in front of you.
But not only bullets have less effect on you – Dozer takes less damage from explosions and restores health faster when damaged by an explosion.
Sundance brings a selection of guided grenades to the front and can choose between disruption, EMP, and anti-tank grenades.
This specialist also wears a wingsuit, and if you jump from a great height, you can swiftly navigate the map with precision.
All Recon Specialists at the Launch of Battlefield 2042
Recon specialists in Battlefield 2042 are no longer just snipers lounging in their warm spots. Their abilities also help at the front lines or can disrupt enemies who are planning an action against you.
Casper is the classic sniper, and with his recon drone, you can help your team gain an overview of the battlefield. It can also disrupt enemy equipment.
Once you assume your strategic position at the edge of the battlefield, no one can sneak up on you. A motion sensor shows you on the screen if an enemy is approaching from behind.
Rao relies on his hacking tools to take control of objects on the map or disrupt enemy equipment. In the trailer, the specialist, for example, raises a series of “neutral” traffic bollards. He can disable the robotic dogs “Ranger” and deactivate functions of enemy vehicles.
A bit of scout work is also done by Rao: If you mark an enemy before eliminating him, you’ll briefly see other nearby opponents.
Ji-Soo is a close-quarters fighter, and when she lowers her glasses, you’ll see enemies through walls. However, the glasses have a battery that doesn’t last too long.
Additionally, opponents who have shot you will be highlighted for you.
All Support Specialists at the Launch of Battlefield 2042
Support specialists in Battlefield 2042 allow for better revives but are also suitable for supply deliveries. If you often help your comrades get back on their feet and want to give them a healing bonus, support specialists are the right choice.
Maria Falck brings a syringe pistol into combat, healing her allies. When you shoot at a team member whose health has suffered a bit, you trigger rapid health regeneration with the pistol.
In addition, your revive is enhanced, and when you help a teammate back on their feet, they will start with full health – unlike with other specialists.
Angel has access to a supply drop that you share with your teammates. At the drop, you can change your weapon loadout, but you also receive gear and ammunition back.
The second support specialist also has better revives, and comrades come back with some armor.
All Pioneers at the Launch of Battlefield 2042
Pioneers are responsible for heavy equipment and provide you with their favorite toys. They are particularly suitable for holding a position or supporting an attack from the second line.
Boris has a mobile sentry gun and can deploy his turret anywhere. The little helper detects enemies and attacks them independently. Thanks to his passive ability, the turret improves when you are near.
Irish is already known from the story of Battlefield 4 and brings a two-part fortification system into BF2042. You can set up a shield to protect yourself and the APS-36 sentry system that intercepts and neutralizes incoming grenades.
His passive ability grants you armor and other, yet unknown bonuses when you neutralize an enemy.
These were the 10 specialists available at the launch of Battlefield 2042.
The revamped class system allows you more freedom than in the predecessor Battlefield 5. Since you can choose any weapon with all classes, you have many more options available, and the specialists support your gameplay through their abilities.
Class Skins and Cosmetics Likely to Provide Variety
To ensure that the battlefield is not just overrun by the same soldiers, Battlefield 2042 will feature an extensive cosmetic system. A battle pass for Battlefield 2042 has already been announced, and in addition to weapon skins and charms, there are also skins for the specialists.
The English YouTuber “SammyBoiii” showcases in a video 21 possible specialist skins that could provide visual variety. The video shows scenes from the reveal trailer – we embed it here for you:

Battlefield 2042 is set to release on November 19. The large-scale battle will feature 10 specialists and 7 large maps. Additionally, there will be the portal mode with plenty of content from earlier Battlefield titles and the hazard mode that sounds a bit like a battle royale.
The beta of Battlefield 2042 is over and DICE has taken the community’s opinions and reports to heart. Now, you can expect positive changes at launch that will enhance your gaming experience.
What will change? From minimal to major changes, everything is included. Primarily, these are changes that positively affect gameplay or give you better visibility of events in Battlefield 2042.
These 5 changes await you at launch
EA DICE has taken the beta and the players’ experiences to heart and is now giving the new installment of the Battlefield series the final polish. Here are the previous changes you can expect:
HUD – Adjustments for better orientation
The HUD in the game will be significantly adjusted. Kills will be displayed in detail as usual under the crosshair. Additionally, the ping has been adjusted and a compass has been added.

The compass will be displayed below your screen without aiming down sights
The ping has not been effective, so changes will be made for better marking
The kill feed will be placed under the crosshair as in the predecessors
The overview map will now be unlocked – providing better insight into the battle situation
Commorose – The familiar quick communication function will be reintroduced
Adjustments to servers and bots
In the beta, players were thrown onto unoccupied servers filled with bots. This is set to change in the future. EA has addressed the issue and stated that they have fixed the error. Now, bots will only be added in exceptional cases to ensure team balance. They are not meant to take over the entire match but to assist.
Loadouts
In the beta, you could only access your loadout while in a match. This is set to change, as you will have the option to adjust your weapon combos with the associated specialists comfortably outside the combat zone.

A lot of customization options will be available to you
In the customization menu, you will take the time to adjust your quick access according to your playstyle. After that, you will also be able to name your loadout for better differentiation.
Warm Up before a round
In the beta, you were thrown onto the map, and each of your teammates went their own ways. At launch, Battlefield 2042 will therefore offer more options for communication. Before a round, you will first be brought to a warm-up area.
There, you can make certain agreements and tactics with your teammates that are essential in battle. The right mix of specialists or exchanging unnecessary weapons can be discussed in this area.
In the beta, you should have noticed that differentiating between friend or foe was quite the torture. Often, you attacked your teammate while your enemy lurked directly behind you. That should be a thing of the past.
Enemies will be made more visually recognizable. They will be given a special color tint. This serves to better differentiate between friend or foe. Teammates or friends will be highlighted in green or blue.
Furthermore, you will receive an auto-spot system. Enemies will thus be automatically detected in a radius of 10 meters. However, they must be within your field of vision.
Those were all the important changes that await you at launch. Can you hardly wait for the release? And if so, are these adjustments exactly what you missed in the beta? Let us know!

The Battle Royale Warzone is getting the graphics engine from the new Call of Duty: Vanguard by the end of the year. This is likely to bring many gameplay elements of the new CoD to Warzone. A small change in movement could then have a significant impact on how we move around in the Battle Royale.
What is it about? The change with Call of Duty: Vanguard involves a slight delay in tactical sprinting after a slide cancel. So far, you could, with a trick in Warzone, go straight back into tactically sprinting after sliding.
The professional trick is widely used in the community and is heavily utilized to move faster and more safely across the map. However, with the Vanguard technique, the speed advantage might be a thing of the past, which could significantly change the movement.
Run faster or be harder to hit – What is more important?
Why is this such a big deal? The slide cancel is an extremely powerful technique in Warzone and is widely used.
This is because by constantly moving, you realign your hit zones on your body. Snipers can hardly land headshots on you because your head is constantly moving. Additionally, you are a bit faster in Warzone when you dash across the map with the slide cancel.
Moreover, the trick is quite simple and drastically improves your movement with a little practice.
How does the slide cancel change with Vanguard? When you come out of the slide, the tactical sprint does not start immediately. There is a delay of about half a second before you start the faster sprint again.
To utilize the speed boost, you have to wait a moment, so you can’t initiate the next slide cancel right away. This leads to your hit zones being less in motion.
On the other hand – if you keep using the slide cancel continuously, you no longer have the high speed of the current trick.
How this will affect gameplay remains to be seen. But it seems you will have to decide: either you move faster or you are safer. Both may no longer be possible.
If you want to compare the two versions of the slide cancel, check out the English video from CoD expert “TheXclusiveAce”:

How does the slide cancel work? It is actually a kind of exploit that bypasses the mechanics around tactical sprinting. With tactical sprinting, you can run slightly faster than normal, and the slide cancel allows you to bypass the cooldown of tactical sprinting.
The trick is regarded as a kind of “positive exploit”. The slide cancel is seen as a move that you need to learn if you want to improve. Timing is especially important; otherwise, the trick is quite simple:
Slide-Cancel in Warzone:
Activate tactical sprint
Press the button to slide
While sliding, press the slide button again
Then press the jump button
Start tactical sprint again
Once you slide, you can cancel the sliding by pressing again, thus “canceling”. However, after that, you are crouched and need to press the jump button to get back up. By pressing the jump button, the tactical sprint is partially reset, and when you stand up again, you can go straight back into super sprint.
You need to activate the buttons relatively quickly one after the other. If you make a small jump after sliding, you pressed the jump button a bit too late. For an optimal slide cancel, enable “Slide on button press” instead of “Hold down” and “Automatic tactical sprint” in the settings.
Is this really coming to Warzone? It is currently uncertain. The multiplayer experience of Vanguard serves as the model for the new Warzone, and currently, it looks like the Battle Royale will play just like the multiplayer by the end of the year.
However, real details are still missing. Also, when Warzone will switch to the Vanguard engine with the Pacific update is still unclear. So far, it’s only said: by the end of the year, around the Vanguard release.
Expert XclusiveAce hopes for a separation here and would like to see the old slide cancel in the new Warzone as well. However, he finds the change quite sensible for multiplayer. In which form the slide cancel will come to both shooters cannot be said for sure at this time.
In FIFA 22, players are currently hoping for upgrades for their new special cards based on real results from football. Bayer Leverkusen has now slightly hindered such an upgrade – and jokingly apologizes via Twitter.
What’s going on? Currently, the “Road to the Knockouts” event is running in FIFA 22 with special cards that become better as the respective teams achieve certain milestones in European competitions.
One such card has also been given to Nabil Fekir from Betis Sevilla. It is currently particularly popular among FIFA players because:
First, he is available through an SBC. So you don’t need to pull him from packs or use the transfer market.
Second, he already has really good stats.
Accordingly, many players are hoping that Fekir might get two upgrades.
One, if Betis Sevilla wins three out of four group matches in the Europa League.
And the second, if Betis Sevilla advances to the knockout phase.
No wonder that many players are rooting for Betis Sevilla for FIFA reasons right now. But those following the Europa League have seen: In the recent match, there was only a 1:1 – against the German club Bayer Leverkusen. The funny thing is: The “Werkself” apparently knows that some FIFA players had bet on Betis.
Leverkusen’s joking apology regarding Fekir
Already on the day of the match, Bayer Leverkusen wrote a short message on their English-speaking Twitter channel, which was received with amusement in the FIFA community:
“Dear Football Twitter. Please stop asking us for a loss at #BetisB04 [match hashtag] so you can get your Fekir upgrade. We need the 3 points and more special cards for our players. Thank you. Sincerely, Bayer 04 Leverkusen.”
This post already caused laughter among some FIFA fans. Among others, FIFA YouTuber Zweback responded directly with a post and tried to persuade Leverkusen perhaps not to win:
Dear Leverkusen,
Normally, we want you to win in this situation. But Fekir is a very special card and you have the best card in the game aka POTM Flo Wirtz. So we ask you, just this one time, maybe not to win. And not to win in the next game either. Thanks. Sincerely, The FIFA community
This is how the match went: Betis Sevilla and Leverkusen met on Thursday evening, October 21st. For those eyeing Fekir upgrades, it looked good fifteen minutes before the end: After a handball, there was a penalty for Betis Sevilla, which Iglesias converted to make it 1:0.
But to the joy of all Leverkusen fans – and presumably to the frustration of all Fekir fans – the “Werkself” managed to equalize. Leverkusen’s Andrich shot in the 82nd minute, the shot was deflected and ended up in the net. Even a win was still within reach for Leverkusen – but it remained a draw.
And here Leverkusen also responded again – with a nice apology to the FIFA fans:

Is the Fekir upgrade off the table now? No, because Betis still has three group matches left that they could win. So, theoretically. There is one more against Leverkusen, and then against Celtic Glasgow and Ferencváros Budapest.
Three wins are of course highly ambitious. If that doesn’t work out, there is still the possible upgrade for advancing. Because in the group table, Leverkusen and Sevilla are at the top with 7 points each and still unbeaten.
The tech channel “Gamers Nexus” tests various hardware for gamers. This time, the YouTuber tested a giant fan. Initially, it was meant as a joke, and not everything went smoothly in the test.
Here’s what it’s about: Most of us probably have a fan installed in our gaming PCs. These fans ensure that the air inside the case is exchanged. This is especially important if you want to keep your PC cool in the summer. On average, most case fans are between 120 and 140 mm in size and can thus be installed in almost any standard case.
Now, the tech channel “Gamers Nexus” on YouTube has tested a computer fan, but it’s huge and almost as large as a gaming PC. Officially, it was likely a joke from the manufacturer Corsair, but “Gamers Nexus” really wanted to test the fan.

However, not everything went smoothly with the fan test, and the channel explained what problems they encountered during testing.
The fan is so huge that you have to mount it instead of the side panel.
The world’s largest computer fan is 4 times larger than a normal fan
Corsair provides not only the fan but also the necessary accessories such as cables and screws. The screws to mount the fan are as big as the tester’s fingers and don’t really fit into a normal gaming case. Therefore, the tester had to mount the fan instead of the computer’s side panel.
This also means that the view of the installed hardware is obstructed. If you’re considering buying such a fan, at least you don’t need to install any additional RGB lighting in your PC.
These are the problems: Initially, not everything went smoothly in the test. The fan made strange noises. They had therefore asked Corsair if they could run the unit for 30 minutes for thermal tests or if there would be any issues. Corsair denied the problems and said the test would be okay. However, after 10 minutes, the fan stopped, and there was a smell of burnt electronics.
How was the problem solved? A technician disassembled the fan and quickly found the cause: The gears inside do not mesh perfectly and have high friction resistance. As a result, the motor has to work harder and overheats too quickly. Corsair should install a stronger motor in the future to avoid these problems.
After disassembling, the technician reinserted an identical model into the fan, and the device worked again. They conducted another test afterward. However, they did not want to conduct a second test, as they feared the risk of further damage.

The giant fan shows good temperature values in the test
Here’s how they tested: “Gamers Nexus” tested the fan with the MSI Sakira 500X. According to the YouTuber, the case has one of the worst case designs he has ever seen. For this reason, he wanted to test the new fan on it.
This is the test result: In the test, the temperatures in the case improved noticeably.
The closed case has an internal temperature of 67.8 degrees Celsius without a fan
With the fan activated, the temperatures drop to 48.2 degrees Celsius, which is a significant improvement over the standard.
The temperatures of the chipset on the motherboard also drop by about 10 degrees Celsius, which is also a good improvement.
What do you think? Do you consider the giant fan a successful joke by Corsair, or would you also install such a fan in your own gaming PC? Let us know in the comments!
By the way, it doesn’t actually take a single fan to keep a computer cool. A YouTuber demonstrated this by building a fascinating PC with a ventilation system that works like a lung. He doesn’t install any fans, but the computer has become quite large:
In League of Legends , the World Championships are taking place in Iceland. The European team Fnatic has already been eliminated. The team’s jungler, Gabriël “Bwipo” Rau (23), says that during the LoL Worlds 2021, fans attacked his girlfriend hard. They allegedly even sent her death threats.
This is what Bwipo says: In a post on Twitter, Bwipo explains his situation (via twitlonger). The news that Upset was leaving the Worlds hit the 23-year-old hard. Especially since the information came so shortly before the first game and without warning, it emotionally broke Bwipo.
“I broke down crying because I knew we had lost. I didn’t know what to do. All our success came from the bot lane. Without them, I saw no way forward.”
Bwipo
The jungler says: He just couldn’t cope with the situation, not after 16 hours, not after 40 hours, and not after 64 hours: Losing everything he had worked for broke him.
What this has to do with his girlfriend: Bwipo emphasizes what an important role his girlfriend plays for him personally and also for the team Fnatic. She has always supported him over the last 3 years, has put her own life on hold, and has always been there for him. She also helped him keep Fnatic together, radiating good vibes and hope – without her, Fnatic would have crumbled in week 2 of the Worlds, believes Bwipo.
Even when he was struggling with the news that Upset was leaving the team, his girlfriend supported him.
At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to be with her. Bwipo wanted to go home, talk to her. He simply didn’t understand why he should continue to endure the Worlds. But his girlfriend persuaded him to stay.
Bwipo found the whole situation unbearable: He unfollowed Fnatic and the management in a fit of anger and frustration. Everything felt so unfair.
However, according to Bwipo, his fans apparently misread the situation completely from the outside and are now blaming his girlfriend for Bwipo seeming so distracted. His own fans and the community sent her death threats, attacked and insulted her for weeks. And Bwipo let that happen.
Bwipo says his girlfriend has always done everything to support him and Fnatic. And he has done nothing but let her take the blame for everything, even though she is not at fault.
She has now left social media – because of all the suffering and the death threats. He will do the same.

In the month leading up to the Worlds, Bwipo repeatedly emphasized on Twitter how much his girlfriend supported him.
What’s next? There is currently no statement from Bwipo regarding his future, but rumors are already circulating that he is leaving Fnatic and looking for a new team as a free agent in 2022 (via twitter).
It seems like a lot has fallen apart during the LoL Worlds 2021.
Apparently a “Yoko Ono” situation
What’s behind this: Bwipo shows his affection for his girlfriend repeatedly on Twitter, in interviews, and also in LoL itself. For example, he hovers over the champion “Kai’Sa” in the champion select as a nod to her. In the month before the LoL Worlds, he often tweeted about her, expressing how much he misses her and how much he owes her.
Apparently, these public displays of affection have somehow led to parts of the community, especially the French-speaking one, forming a view of a kind of “Yoko Ono” figure that is supposedly ruining Fnatic, just as Yoko Ono is said to have ruined The Beatles.
When Bwipo then found himself in an exceptional situation and couldn’t cope with the loss of Upset, it seems the situation escalated. It shows how challenging it is for esports athletes when their private life becomes too public on social media.

The visual differences to the shiny version are clearly recognizable. The crown changes from orange to pink and the body is more purple than black.
So, anyone looking for a shiny version should raid diligently now. Additionally, there’s a special raid weekend coming up on October 30 and 31, during which you can complete many raids with Darkrai and Mega Absol.
What does your raid team against Darkrai look like? Please share your attackers with us here on MeinMMO in the comments.

World of Warcraft has less content than ever before – and players have noticed. The direct comparison makes many angry.
World of Warcraft is currently far from soaring. Criticism of Blizzard is growing, not only due to the sexism scandal but also because of the content in the MMORPG. It has been rather poor for quite some time now. Players in the WoW subreddit have recently looked back and noted: We have had only one content patch per year.
Why are players so dissatisfied? There are several reasons for this. For one, World of Warcraft is still a “premium game.” It not only requires a subscription but also a new expansion that must be purchased approximately every two years.
The second point is that other games with a similar cost offer significantly more and provide two to three major content patches per year.
When I informed myself about patch 9.1.5, I just realized that we have only received one content patch per year for the last two years. One was in January 2020 and one in June 2021. And if the rumors are true, then we will only get one in 2022. […]
I know a lot is going on at Blizzard right now, but what exactly are we currently paying a subscription for?
By “content patches,” they actually mean the major patches that bring real new features and content. The much smaller “X.5” patches are not included.
Then the statement is indeed correct. Patch 8.3 was released in January 2020, the Shadowlands expansion came out in November, and the only major content patch from Shadowlands was patch 9.1, which was released in June.
The players are angry – WoW simply gets too few patches.
Another Reddit user, AmericanPicketFence, compares the patch speed of Shadowlands with the speed of updates from earlier expansions and paints a grim picture:
In Mists of Pandaria, patch 5.4 came out roughly at the same time that patch 9.1.5 is now being released.
Warlords of Draenor had patch 6.2.3 around the same time as patch 9.1.5 is now. […]
In Legion, a year after its launch, there was just the fourth raid tier with patch 7.3. At the same time, we are still in the second raid tier in Shadowlands and have no idea when 9.2 will come out.
Around the same time as patch 9.1.5, Battle for Azeroth released two much larger zones [than Korthia] and its third raid tier; it also introduced new crafting materials. Compare that to Shadowlands, where some professions simply stop at 75 because they couldn’t be bothered to provide more.
By the way, they charge €13 per month for that.
The mood remains rather bleak, and objectively speaking, there is simply too little happening in World of Warcraft right now compared to previous expansions.
More news about WoW: Shadowlands can be found here:
Why is nothing happening in WoW right now? There are likely a number of reasons for this. For one, World of Warcraft has suffered massively due to the Covid pandemic. Even the release of Shadowlands had to be postponed because the developers couldn’t finish it on time. This delay has now been carried forward from patch to patch and is likely to extend into 2022 until the next WoW expansion is announced.
At the same time, the WoW team has struggled with harsh criticism of the available content. Many game contents were disliked by players, so a lot of time had to be invested in improvements. This too is likely to drastically delay the development of new content.
What is clear, however, is that loyal WoW fans are facing tough times in the coming months, and new content will take a while to arrive. Whether Blizzard will manage to give Shadowlands a worthy ending remains to be seen.
The MMO New World offers the possibility to level up through gathering, crafting and some neutral quests. The player oRobozinho was the first to reach level 60 without killing any monsters. He spoke about his experiences in a short stream.
What has the player achieved? oRobozinho is the first player to publicly prove that he has reached the maximum level 60 in New World without a kill.
In a livestream on Twitch, he showed his “Vegan-Run” and presented his achievements accordingly. In not a single category did he kill an enemy. Additionally, he still had the quest for level 2 in First Light in the main story.
How did he do it? He leveled up mainly through two methods. One through city quests, for which he did not have to kill enemies, and the other through crafting.
What’s crazy is that he used the gathering tools and swapping of the first tier until the end of the run. Nevertheless, he got very far:
He brought the gathering professions of logging, mining and harvesting all to level 200
He also leveled smelting and woodworking to 200 in refining, and leveled stonemasonry and weaving significantly over 100
In the manufacturing professions, he only surpassed 100 in 3 professions – jewel crafting, arcana and cooking.
Skinning, fishing, leatherworking as well as the professions of weapon smithing and armor smithing remained at 0
He also completed some faction missions, for which he did not have to defeat any enemies either. You can check out his achievements and more information about the run in this video:

Did he really not kill an enemy? No, because in the tutorial he was forced to defeat one enemy to learn attacking and defending. However, this kill was not counted towards any of his achievements.
At the end of the video, in which he presents his account, he kills a rabbit to “ruin” his account, as he happily tells. No one can take away from him his great success of reaching level 60 without a kill.
What do you think of this achievement? Can you imagine reaching level 60 in New World without kills or does it sound too laborious to you? And how far have you leveled so far?
A new task that oRobozinho could now tackle is crafting legendary armor. You can find a guide on this:
The MMO New World (Steam) is suffering from a gold dupe. An exploit from the new server transfers creates coins out of nowhere. Amazon has now disabled the server transfers that just recently came and has announced that it will ban exploiters and remove the duped items and gold.
What kind of exploit is this?
As MeinMMO reported last night, a “gold dupe” exploit is circulating in New World. This exploit creates coins “out of nowhere” – it has catastrophic effects on the economy.
The exploit came with the new patch 1.0.3 on Wednesday and the ability to transfer a character from one server to another. This was the most desired feature during the release: people wanted to switch servers to play with friends or to avoid queues.
The exploit was relatively easy to produce and spread quickly through social media.
A “gold dupe” is an exploit where items or gold are duplicated. Particularly the Diablo series is known for such exploits. However, “new” MMORPGs are often affected as well. These exploits have catastrophic effects on the economy if they remain undiscovered for too long. As the worst consequence of such an exploit is the “rollback”: servers are reset to an earlier state and progress made in the meantime is lost.
New World bans gold dupers, speaks of “small number”
This is what Amazon says: In a statement (via newworld), community manager Luxendra said Thursday night: A “small number” of characters were in an “invalid data state” after the server transfer. Some of these players transferred gold or items while their character was in this state.
All these items and transactions are in Amazon’s records. They are now looking closely at which players exploited their state to gain an advantage and will ban them for exploiting.
Items and gold will be removed if deemed appropriate.
Additionally, logging in will be temporarily prohibited for characters in this “invalid data state”.

The service had just gone live for all regions on Thursday morning.
Server transfers temporarily disabled
This is what Amazon is doing: This morning, Amazon stated that around 150,000 characters used this transfer. Some had problems with an “invalid data state”. Although they had already fixed a lot on Thursday evening, the error still occurs.
Therefore, they temporarily disabled the character transfer on Thursday evening.
The server transfers were regarded by GameStar as “the most desired feature” of New World (via gamestar). It had just gone live for all regions on Thursday morning. According to Amazon, it had already been disabled on Thursday evening – it was live for only about 12 to 16 hours.
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online had similar problems in its early days:
This is what it is about: A “gold dupe” is one of the worst things that can happen to a new MMO. Such an exploit must be nipped in the bud immediately. If such exploits remain undiscovered for too long, a “rollback” threatens, causing all players to lose invested time. This would be a catastrophe.
The radical manner in which New World is approaching this shows that they are well aware of the problems. It also seems important to them to assure the players: “We know which items are affected – we are removing them from the game.” It is extremely important for the integrity of an MMO to act so radically, quickly, and clearly.
Amazon must have carefully considered the step to disable server transfers.
The wait is finally over. Patch 9.1.5 of World of Warcraft will be released in a few weeks. The release date is known.
For many weeks, the PTR for Patch 9.1.5 has been active in World of Warcraft, with a release candidate deployed on October 21. Blizzard seems to be confident that the completion of the patch is imminent, as a release date has now been published. It will be happening in less than 2 weeks.
When is the release of Patch 9.1.5? Patch 9.1.5 will officially be released on November 3, 2021. As usual, it will start a day earlier in America (on November 2), due to the time difference and varying maintenance times.
What are the highlights of the patch? Patch 9.1.5 is just a small “interim patch” – especially many new contents, like raids and areas, should not be expected. However, the patch brings the timewalking: Legion and thus the return of the popular Mage Tower. In this, all players can unlock new cosmetics, especially bear druids will benefit here.
Apart from that, there are new character customizations for some races, including Nightborne, Lightforged Draenei, and Void Elves.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
What else is in Patch 9.1.5? Apart from that, Patch 9.1.5 is full of small improvements, mainly aimed at enhancing the game experience. Some smaller, but very important changes for some players include:
Covenants can be switched freely – without cooldowns or drawbacks.
Island Expeditions can now also be played solo to farm old transmogs.
Allied races are easier to unlock. The respective quest step that required visiting a dungeon is eliminated.
Farming Soul Ash, Soul Cinders, and cataloged research in Korthia has been drastically simplified.
Entire transmog sets can be saved as a special set and linked in chat, allowing other players to quickly see which items are needed.
Many old bosses in Legion raids (especially Antorus) have been simplified, allowing these raids to be farmed solo.
Are you excited for the upcoming WoW update? Or are you not interested in the patch and would rather wait for the big update 9.2, which may not come out until March 2022?

In Pokémon GO there will be parts 11 and 12 of Misunderstood Mischief starting October 22. We will show you the tasks and rewards here.
What are the tasks? Today, the second part of the big Halloween event starts in Pokémon GO. Under the theme “spooky fellows”, new bonuses are activated for you. In addition to new Pokémon in the wild, raids, and in eggs, the special research “Misunderstood Mischief” continues with Hoopa.
We will show you the overview of the new tasks and their rewards.
Misunderstood Mischief 11/16
Task
Reward
Earn 3 candies by walking with your buddy
10 Makabaja- candies
Catch 30 Ghost-type Pokémon
10 Paragoni- candies
Catch 30 Dark-type Pokémon
10 Irrbis- candies
If you successfully complete all three tasks and collect the rewards, you will also receive an encounter with a costumed Pikachu, 15 Ultra Balls, and 40 Mega Gengar energies.
The candies for Paragoni and Irrbis are exciting for trainers, as these two Pokémon will appear for the first time in Pokémon GO in the second part of the Halloween event. This way, you get closer to evolving the Pokémon and completing your collection in the PokéDex.
Misunderstood Mischief 12/16
Professor Willow is still researching this area of the task
Once the task is unlocked, you will receive 720 Stardust and 720 XP for it.
With the second part of the Halloween event, many new contents are now awaiting you to discover. Pokémon can appear in various sizes, including S, M, L, and XL. For collectors, this is an exciting mechanic if they want to catch all Pokémon.
What that looks like in the game with the different sizes was already shown by Niantic in an example:
At Halloween, you also earn many candies for catching, sending, or hatching. So it’s a good time to play now.
On our site MeinMMO, you can find the overview of the new event and what to expect:
In the MMO New World, you can expect various PvE tasks, including quests, instanced bosses, and events in the open world. However, a highlight are the sieges initiated by the Corrupted. These have now been presented in more detail.
What kind of events are these? In the so-called invasions, the Corrupted, a hostile faction in New World, attack a fort in multiple waves. Defenders can sign up in advance via the notice board in the associated settlement. A total of up to 50 players can participate.
In several phases, the fort must be defended against the invaders. If successful, experience points, gold, and loot await as rewards. However, if you lose, there will be negative consequences for the associated fort.
The Corrupted attempt to destroy the buildings and seize the fort during the siege. You attempt to prevent this.
Note: The article was originally published in April 2020 and updated after the release of New World on October 22, 2021.
Defend the fortress against 8 waves of enemies
How does the invasion proceed? According to the blog post, an invasion can take place approximately every 4 days. The day before the invasion, players can register via the notice board, where the foreman can select 10 players, while the remaining 40 are chosen randomly.
Shortly before the beginning of the invasion, there is a preparation phase where you can purchase additional potions, incendiary mines, and other useful items at the fort using 50 combat tokens. During the invasion, you can earn more tokens to ensure a supply.
Then the invasion begins. The goal is to defeat 8 waves of enemies and prevent them from reaching the core of the fortress. If the Corrupted manage to advance this far, the invasion is considered lost.
Concept art of the siege of a fort by the Corrupted.
What types of enemies are there? In the invasion, you will encounter various types of enemies, including:
Bruisers, who are relatively weak but later go into a frenzy, thereby dealing more damage but also burning slowly.
Pillagers, who are strong and resilient melee fighters.
Archers, who attack players from a distance, especially on the walls.
Bombers, who blow themselves up to destroy buildings.
Brutes, massive beasts that primarily focus on buildings.
Various types of bosses.
Players can defend themselves with siege weapons like the repeater.
How can players defend themselves? So that the defenders are not just fodder for the enemies during these events, they can make use of their own tricks, including:
Various siege weapons like ballistae, repeaters, and bombs.
Defensive structures such as scalding liquid that rains down on enemies or traps.
Supply buildings that provide buffs for defenders or debuffs for attackers.
To keep an overview of the battle, you should be able to see all important information about remaining time, attack waves, and special sub-objectives on the right side of the interface.
What happens after the invasion? After the siege, the rewards are distributed. There is loot for each defeated wave. Additionally, destroyed buildings and fortress structures will be rebuilt afterwards.
If you lost, the associated settlement will also degrade slightly.
PvE offers various quests and events, but is that enough?
What else does PvE offer? New World was originally an MMO focused on PvP, but by now we already know quite a bit about the PvE content:
Classic instanced dungeons and raids will not be available at launch. However, the developers are collecting player feedback and do not rule out the possibility of later introducing them.
The Corrupted are also expected to provide events in the open world.
Is that enough PvE? Currently, there are many discussions about whether the content of New World can actually keep players engaged in the long term. A first negative point for some was the shift in focus from PvP to PvE. Others fear, based on the previous information about PvE, that everything could become very grindy and monotonous.
There are also some alleged alpha testers who welcome the delay, believing that the game is still not ready. A release in May would have been too early in their view; the MMO is still too unfinished.
We will likely get a real picture of New World at the start of the beta, when the NDA is also expected to be lifted. This is now planned for July 2020.

One of the major bonuses of the Halloween event is the evolution of Galar-Flegmon into Galar-Laschoking. Trainers were particularly excited about this new content and couldn’t wait to add the new Pokémon to their collection. However, a bug interfered with the trainers’ plans.
New World finally received the long-awaited server transfers. However, this brings a problem: by exploiting a bug, an endless amount of coins can be generated, the currency of New World. Amazon has already confirmed that a gold exploit exists. The particularly spicy part is that uninvolved players can allegedly be punished for it.
What is this exploit? In a thread on reddit some players are currently discussing a severe bug in New World. With this bug, it should be possible to create coins by deliberately generating an error at the right moment.
The bug causes a player to receive coins from the exploiter without the exploiter losing any coins. This simply doubles the traded amount. There are already “millions” of duplicated gold coins in circulation.
Supposedly, real-money trading in New World is flourishing due to the gold exploit
What is the problem with this? According to players, the exploit has led to an enormous trade of coins for real money. One explains that acquaintances of his earned hundreds of US dollars in just a few hours. A ban is therefore of no concern to them – they have made good money.
In another thread on reddit a player also reports that there are already victims of the exploiters. One cannot defend against receiving the coins, but will still be punished by Amazon if one “uses” the exploit.
Furthermore, the coins are a major problem for the game’s economy. Some players report that prices for resources on their servers have already increased by a thousand times.
Two classes in the game: Unlimited coins vs. Barter trade
This is how it looks for other players: Ironically, the tone in most other places is that there is a shortage of coins. Many players complain that there are too few ways to earn coins.
Everything costs something, one constantly needs money – but hardly receives any. Since the total amount of gold is low, but fees for crafting, respecing, and more apply, this leads to deflation. Even housing costs taxes.
In New World, there is no way to simply sell unused items to an NPC. Thus, it is not possible for coins to be generated simply by grinding – only through exploits or some tricks:
What is Amazon doing about it?In the official forum it is mentioned that they are working on a problem with transferring. It sounds as if the bug is related to this problem. At the same time, exploiters are to be punished.
This should happen without a patch – and apparently also without a rollback. However, players are concerned that the game’s economy will be sustainably damaged if progress is not reset.
They therefore advise not to log in for the time being, but to wait until the problem is fixed. Just to avoid becoming a victim of the exploiters. Thus, this bug joins several other issues that are still pending:
Update 22.10.2021: Amazon has now responded to the problem and quite radically:
InDestiny 2 comes today, on October 21, a new update on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia. Hotfix 3.3.1.1 could solve some issues that occurred over the past week. You can find the key times and information here on MeinMMO.
What you need to know today: Bungie has announced a hotfix for today, Thursday, October 21. Two known bugs have occurred, in which Exos have been causing trouble again. Telesto and Raiju’s Harness caused a stir last week and were quickly disabled by Bungie. Will they be repaired now?
To ensure you know exactly when you can play and what changes in the game, MeinMMO will guide you through Hotfix 3.3.1.1 and continually update this article with fresh information.
Update 19:06: The servers are now gradually coming back online and you can download the update. The update is 284.5 MB on PS5. As usual, there will be queues when logging in, so be prepared.
Maintenance on October 21 – All Times and Server Downtime
These times are important today:
At 6:00 PM German time, maintenance will start on all platforms.
From 6:45 PM the servers will be offline. You will be kicked from all activities and the downtime will begin.

In GTA Online, the Halloween season has begun. Creepy encounters may await you from now on – but not all the time.
Halloween in GTA Online begins: The Halloween content in GTA Online may literally cross your path from now on. There are various features that contribute to the creepy atmosphere.
Two particularly exciting contents are the “Phantom Cars” and the “Slasher” event.
However, you can only find both contents under certain conditions. We’ll show you what you need to do.
Phantom Car and Slasher in GTA Online – Requirements
Both the Phantom Car and the Slasher can encounter you in the open world of GTA Online.
What is the Phantom Car? The “Phantom Car” is a driverless vehicle that attaches itself to your bumper when you drive through the streets of Los Santos. However, if you’re on foot or get out, there’s a risk that the car will ignite itself – and attack you with an explosion.
What are the Slashers? “Slashers” are various creepy killers that can attack you seemingly out of nowhere. For example, there’s a clown or a crazy, burning guy.
This is also shown in the video from “GTA Series Videos”:

Requirements: In order to encounter the Phantom Car or the killers, you must not be indoors. They are only out at night – from 21:00 to 05:00.
According to “GTA Series Videos”, you must also have been in the session for at least 16 minutes, and at least one other player must also be in the session.
The killers can only appear in certain spawn areas. If you defeat such a Slasher, you can get the Twilight Knife T-shirt.
Lastly, the Phantom Car and killers probably only pursue you if you are in a regular car. Helicopters, airplanes, or armed vehicles are not attacked by the Phantom Car.
Both events are said to have a cooldown of 15 minutes according to GTA insider Tez2 (via Twitter).
