It has long been known that the Imposter mode “Imposter” in Fortnite is very similar to the game “Among Us.” Epic Games has now spoken up and stated that the “Imposter” mode was inspired by Among Us. Could a collaboration be on the horizon?
What happened before? Fortnite released a new mode called “Imposter” towards the end of Chapter 2, Season 7. This mode was very well received by the community and is still being played actively. Many players may have noticed that this activity resembles another game – Among Us.
Therefore, the team from Among Us reached out to Fortnite and indicated that they would have done a crossover if they had been asked. However, there was no collaboration, and everything remained as it was: until now.
Fortnite admits to being inspired – Offers collaboration
In the Twitter post regarding the Fortnite Shimaniski election, Epic Games specifically mentioned Among Us. They referred to Among Us as a hit and the source of inspiration for the “Imposter” mode.

Has Among Us responded? The Twitter account of Among Us took note and responded with an emote to the post. Following that, Fortnite wrote, “Hey @AmongUsGame! Since you’re here, we’d like to ask you something.”
Epic made them an offer for a collaboration. Among Us then responded to the offer and told Fortnite that their agents should contact their crewmates. Although the mode has been online in Fortnite for a while, the two games have now finally found their way to each other.
Is a crossover coming? Officially, nothing is planned yet. Neither Epic Games nor the “Among Us” developers InnerSloth have commented on whether a crossover is in the works. However, a collaboration could make sense for both parties – not only financially. The popular “Imposter mode” could be further refined by the pros at Among Us, and many new opportunities for skins would arise in both games.
What does the community think? Joy is evident under the post. Many Fortnite players can’t wait to see what content is in store. Players are commenting with remarks such as:
YAY YOU MENTIONED THEM! – writes Twitter user @alwaysvibingbro
Respect for mentioning who inspired you – said Twitter user @VakaVG
This is definitely a positive step in the right direction, and now it remains to be seen what surprises await you over time.
What do you think about a crossover with Fortnite? Are you hyped for it or are you not a fan of the Imposter mode? Let us know in the comments what you think.

If there is one reason to play the Halloween event of Destiny 2 this year, it is this honking mask. The Honk Moon mask is currently the hit in the game. Everyone wants to be a legendary honk – but just honking isn’t possible.
The Halloween event in Destiny 2 has started this week. During the Festival of the Lost, players can, as always, grab candy, new weapons, armor, and of course many spooky cosmetics. This year, it is a “gans” special mask that, thanks to its ridiculous appearance and clever wordplay, everyone wants.
Why is the community celebrating “Honk Moon”?: Originally, “Honk Moon” was intended as a joke. But as so often happens, the funniest things occur while playing Destiny 2 with friends or interacting with the community.
Such was the case with players UrbanMarshmallow and TheMidgetG0d, the initiators of this grand joke. UrbanMarshmallow illustrated the “Honk Moon” and commented: “To the guy who suggested “Honk Moon”… please never suggest anything like that again!”

The community loves the brilliant weapon ornament, and player Monkeybiziu even said: “I would lose every game with Honkmoon because I would die laughing when I hear the last HOOOOOOOOONK.”
This is why Honkmoon honks: Falconmoon death blows and precision hits grant “Paracausal Charge” stacks. The last round in the magazine deals bonus damage based on the number of stacks. To appreciate how strong this shot is, players have added a loud honk to this special shot with the “Honkmoon”. This honk is ambiguous because in English “honk” refers both to the act of honking and the quacking sound that geese make.
No more chickens! Now come the geese.
Bungie has also already commented: It is definitely the most wonderful, exotic weapon ornament ever created by the community. Of course, everyone knew it would never come in the game like this. But wait: This is Destiny 2, and if you play “Destiny”, you have to expect anything. Bungie thought so too.
As players discuss how cool it is that Bungie has now actually honored “Honk Moon” with the Halloween event 2021, community manager Cozmo23 chimes in.
You asked about “Honk Moon”. It is all your fault.
Community Manager Cozmo23 on reddit
“It’s hellishly ugly, but I just have to wear it!”
You simply have to wear it: Once you put it on, you really wonder: Why does my head look so much like the moon? Why is there a beak on it? What is with the megaphone-like tunnel? Who the hell actually put this thing together so miserably with tape? And what even is a “Honk Moon”?
This old goose is to blame: The “Honk Moon” weapon ornament and mask were inspired by the goose from the indie game sensation “Untitled Goose Game”.
In it, you play a terrible goose that creates chaos.
All the possessions of the local villagers are stolen by the goose and dragged into its hideout.
The game started on Nintendo Switch and took the gaming community by storm.
“Untitled Goose Game” is crazy, but you can’t stop playing it.

Now Destiny 2 also has a crazy goose: The Honk Moon mask is already an absolute Destiny 2 cult. Even if it looks crazy, doesn’t honk, and comes across like a Vuvuzela from hell: “Honk Moon” simply has to be worn and enjoyed. Cabal? Fallen? Doesn’t matter – bring a HONK! Because with a honk, you can honk everything away.
Bungie has long praised the artists of the Destiny 2 community. On the official page and in the weekly blog “This Week at Bungie”, images and creations along with their designers are regularly showcased by the developer.
The ideas there are not only beautiful but also creative. And now one of those ideas has even made it live in the game. The creator of the original Honkmoon weapon ornament has come forward again after the release of the mask in the game and finds it just genius:
When I created this hideous concept after seeing your post, I never expected it to come into the game in any way.
TheMidgetG0d via reddit
Players shouldn’t be surprised if they encounter a lot of cult honk moons in the open world right now.
Can Bungie top this?: This year, the festival has returned for players as a great experience. It has been refreshed, offering both activity and story. And with “Honk Moon”, the community has really had a laugh during the festival. The cult ducks are now running around everywhere and even the Nightfall bosses are not spared from the honking visit.
If Bungie wants to top this next year, perhaps with “The Cowlony” or “Le Moo-narque”.
Have you already earned the “Honk Moon” mask and are now the coolest honk in Destiny 2? Or do you just find the honking goose mega embarrassing? Maybe you prefer the penguin mask? Write to us which mask is your personal favorite this year.

Two years ago, Pearl Abyss presented the first trailer for the open-world game DokeV. After that, things went quiet around the game until gamescom 2021. There, the new trailer of DokeV was one of the highlights. Now the developer shows new gameplay and gives insights into the development.
What is DokeV? This is perhaps the most difficult question to answer regarding the entire game. DokeV is an open-world game where you make monsters your friends and then let them fight.
The concept is quite reminiscent of Pokémon and Temtem, but it has its own charm. The battles are not turn-based but take place in real-time, and your character does more than just stand around.
The focus of the title is supposed to be on exploration and the story. Each Dokebi, as the monsters are called, has its own quest line. If you complete this, the Dokebi becomes your buddy and will fight for you.
The battle against the evil corporation “The Company” and its nasty robots is at the center of the main story of DokeV. However, there is much to discover around the world.
How much multiplayer is in it? DokeV is not meant to be an MMO. Nevertheless, it brings multiplayer aspects in both cooperative and competitive senses. However, how exactly this will look is still not known.
The colorful trailer for DokeV certainly caused a lot of excitement at gamescom 2021. Even the grumpy streamer Asmongold celebrated the game. The trailer already showed some gameplay scenes and conveys well the atmosphere DokeV wants to convey.
You can watch the trailer here:

Who makes DokeV? It is particularly interesting that DokeV is developed by a studio that usually has little to do with colorful and cute settings. Pearl Abyss is primarily known for the MMORPG Black Desert Online, the MOBA Shadow Arena, or the upcoming shooter Plan 8.
DokeV stands out clearly from the other titles. However, the developers have a clear vision for the game. It is supposed to revolve around one’s own imagination and bring the world with these fantastic elements to the forefront. Since you play a child, it is especially the imagination of a child that is responsible for the colorful aesthetics.
New gameplay and exciting insights into the development
What’s new? A video of about 10 minutes from the Korean channel Subusu News had the opportunity to visit the developers at Pearl Abyss and gather new impressions about DokeV.
The video mainly focuses on the technology used to produce DokeV. The enormous details in the game world are at the center. These are achieved by placing real objects and people in a specially built 3D scanner.
The 3D scanner has 180 cameras that photograph the object and graphically represent it in 3D on a computer. In this way, the world of DokeV shines with really good graphics and is full of details.
Pearl Abyss also relies on motion capturing in the development of the title. To make all of this work well together, a new engine specifically developed for DokeV is used.
What does the gameplay look like? Subusu News shows gameplay scenes that are actually being played in-game for the first time. They come from a developer preview version and were filmed off the screen as direct recording was not possible.
What can be seen is a player character at a harbor. The water makes a particularly good impression here, as it reacts very dynamically. There are several changes in the time of day and weather and their influence on the game world.
You can see the new scenes in the video from minute 5:

The character animations look particularly good, showing the character walking through the city to the harbor. However, the world still seems very empty. But it is a very early game version, so it is to be expected that it will be filled later.
When does DokeV come out? A possible release date has not yet been mentioned by Pearl Abyss. An alpha or beta version of DokeV is currently not in sight either. Therefore, it is unlikely that the title will be released in 2021. However, we are keeping our fingers crossed for 2022.
What do you think of DokeV? Is the colorful style of the game exactly your thing, or are you wondering how DokeV can come from the same minds as Black Desert and Plan 8? Are you looking forward to the release, and what do you think of the gameplay? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
In Pokémon GO the Halloween event starts tomorrow, on October 15, 2021. This brings you, in addition to numerous bonuses, 6 cool new Pokémon. We have looked into what kind of monsters these are and will show them to you.
What kind of event is it? As in every year, there will also be a Halloween event in Pokémon GO taking place in 2021. You will of course encounter thematically suitable Pokémon and can look forward to great bonuses.
This year the Halloween event will take place in two parts: Scary Company and Spooky Companions. There will be cool new monsters in the game for both parts, which we will show you below.
When does the event take place? The first part “Scary Company” starts tomorrow, on October 15, 2021, at 10:00 AM and runs until October 22, 2021, at 10:00 AM. The second part will take place immediately afterwards from October 22 at 10:00 AM. You will also have several days to take advantage of all the benefits until the event ends on October 31 at 8:00 PM.
These are the 6 cool new monsters for the Halloween event
As part of the Halloween event, there will be 6 cool new monsters in Pokémon GO. One of the monsters will make its debut at the start of the first part “Scary Company”. This is Galar-Wailord. The other 5 monsters will follow in the second part “Spooky Companions”. We have looked at the new monsters and will introduce them to you below.
Galar-Wailord
Galar-Wailord is an evolution of Galar-Whalmer. This was released in the game in June 2021 along with its other evolution Galar-Wailmer. Now, for the Halloween event, Galar-Wailord will finally be available. This monster is of the Poison and Psychic types.
Visually, the Galar version is clearly distinguishable from the normal Wailord. While the shell in the normal form sits more like a Viking helmet on its head and gives a very cute impression, the shell of Galar-Wailord completely covers its head.
Galar-Whalmer, Galar-Wailmer and Galar-Wailord
The head and upper body are in various shades of purple. Only the lower part of the body resembles a normal Wailord. A shiny variant is not available yet.
To get Galar-Wailord, you need to take Galar-Whalmer as your buddy. If you catch 30 Psychic Pokémon together, then an evolution can be triggered. You can find Galar-Whalmer in level-1 raids during the first part of the event. The evolution to Galar-Wailord is still possible after the Halloween event.
Irrbis and Pumpdjinn
Starting October 22, you will be able to encounter the Ghost- and Grass-type Pokémon Irrbis for the first time in Pokémon GO. This Pokémon comes from Generation 6 and will be available in 4 different sizes in the game: S, M, L, and XL. Depending on the size, it will also be represented differently in Pokémon GO.
The Ghost- and Grass-type Pokémon externally resembles a typical Halloween pumpkin. Moreover, it can evolve into Pumpdjinn. This monster also belongs to the Ghost and Grass types. However, both Pokémon cannot really shine with strong stats.
Irrbis and Pumpdjinn
However, during the second part of the Halloween event, you can only find Irrbis. You will encounter it either in the wild or in level-1 raids. To get Pumpdjinn, you need to evolve Irrbis. Both monsters are not yet available in their shiny version in Pokémon GO.
Paragoni and Trombork
The Ghost- and Grass-type Pokémon Paragoni and its evolution Trombork are also making their debut in Pokémon GO with the start of the second part of the Halloween event. Like Irrbis and Pumpdjinn, Paragoni and Trombork belong to the monsters of Generation 6.
Visually, you can recognize Paragoni by its black ghost-like body and the tree stump it has on its head. Its evolution, on the other hand, represents a living tree.
Paragoni and Trombork
While Paragoni cannot convince with its stats, the stats of Trombork are already looking a bit better. However, this monster is also not considered among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
During the second part of the Halloween event, you can get Paragoni in the wild, in level-1 raids, and by hatching 7 km eggs. Similar to Pumpdjinn, you can only obtain Trombork by evolving Paragoni. Shiny hunters, however, will have to wait, as the shiny forms are still not found in the game.
Mega-Absol
Another new Pokémon is Mega-Absol, which will also be found in the second part of the Halloween event. This temporary evolution of the Dark-type Pokémon Absol will dominate the Mega Raids in Pokémon GO from October 22, 2021, at 10:00 AM local time until November 05, 2021, at 10:00 AM local time.
If you participate successfully in this raid, you will receive Mega Energy for Absol and can catch it in its normal form. With sufficient Mega Energy, you can evolve into a Mega-Absol yourself. As with all other Mega evolutions, this is time-limited.
You can recognize it by its long white strand on its face and its wings. Mega-Absol is also of the Dark type. With a bit of luck, you will encounter a shiny Absol after the raid. You can recognize it by its head, claws, tail, and horn. These have an orange color.
In addition to the 6 new Pokémon introduced in Pokémon GO as part of the Halloween event, there are also one or two costumed monsters to catch again. Of course, Pikachu must not be missing. But Plinfa and Drifzepeli have also dressed up.
This is also shown in the post by martycochrane on reddit. He shared the current findings of the PokeMiners, a group of data miners, on reddit.

This year, all monsters wear a Halloween mischief costume. Pikachu’s consists of a tall cylinder. Plinfa wears a pumpkin hat and Drifzepeli wears a small cylinder. With a bit of luck, you might encounter these monsters in their shiny variant.
Who are the PokeMiners? The PokeMiners are a group of data miners who regularly analyze the game code of Pokémon GO to find new information. They then make this data publicly available to other trainers. They often inform about upcoming changes or features even before a release. However, since their findings are not official data, they can be changed at any time by Niantic.
What do you think of the new Pokémon that will be available for the Halloween event? Which one is your absolute favorite? Or do none of them appeal to you? Feel free to share your opinion with us here on MeinMMO in the comments.
After a long wait, there are finally updates for the PC players among the Monster Hunter fans. The free demo of Monster Hunter Rise has now been released on Steam. MeinMMO reveals what’s included.
What is Monster Hunter Rise? This is the latest installment in the Monster Hunter series. The series primarily consists of action RPGs in which you take on the role of a hunter.
You start as a complete novice, hunting increasingly dangerous monsters and getting better and better.
At the same time, you craft better equipment from the materials of these monsters and become an elite hunter.
Monster Hunter is known for its huge selection of detailed monsters, sophisticated gameplay, and its detailed worlds.
In contrast to Monster Hunter World, which was released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2018 and is now also available on Xbox Series and PS5, Rise has so far only been released for the Nintendo Switch.
It was confirmed early on that the exclusivity for the Nintendo platform is only temporary and a PC version is set to be released in 2022. Now there is a demo version of Monster Hunter Rise on Steam, and it even offers multiplayer.
When does the demo start? It has been available on Steam since October 13. (via steampowered.com)
How much storage space does the demo need? You need about 10 GB of free hard drive space. The download is 6.7 GB in size.
We’ll show you what to expect. Before that, you can check out PC gameplay of Monster Hunter Rise here:
Demo for the PC version of Monster Hunter Rise free to play
Is there a limit or time restriction? No. According to Capcom, you can play the demo as long and as extensively as you want. On the Switch, the quest attempts and online servers were limited.
Is there multiplayer? Yes. You can play the demo either solo or cooperatively with online friends.
What to expect in the demo: Like the demo that was released for the Switch, the PC demo offers a selection of 5 different missions.
There are two tutorial quests that introduce you to the controls and the new elements of the game
In addition, there are three hunting quests with varying difficulty levels
In total, you can go hunt three different monsters from Rise:
Great Izuchi
Mizutsune
Magnamalo
Especially Magnamalo poses a challenge and is even a challenge for veterans.
As usual, you can try out all weapon classes from Monster Hunter:
Sword and Shield
Long Sword
Great Sword
Bow
Light Bowgun
Heavy Bowgun
Gunlance
Switch Axe
Hammer
Hunting Horn
Charge Blade
Insect Glaive
Dual Blades
Players of the demo will also receive a nice bonus in the form of items when the game is released. These include, for example, 20 Mega Potions, pitfall traps, or other tools.
Monster Hunter Rise changes the old formula with Wyvern Riding and Silkbugs
With Monster Hunter Rise, Silkbugs and Wyvern Riding were introduced. They change the core gameplay of the series and bring new options.
What are Silkbugs? With these bugs, you are more agile than ever before. They function like grappling hooks, except you don’t need a specific point to pull yourself to. Thanks to the bugs, you can simply hold yourself in mid-air and swing around.
In addition, new moves allow you to dodge or introduce new attack patterns. These so-called Switch Skills can be unlocked and swapped, giving you additional move sets for your weapons.
What is Wyvern Riding? Instead of the previous mount attacks, where you could cling to the back of monsters and throw them, you can now ride them using Silkbugs.
If you land enough hits with Silkbug attacks, you can ride the monster at the right moment and even use it as a weapon against other monsters. Here’s how it looks in the video:

Monster Hunter Rise will be released on PC in January – The system requirements
What must my PC be capable of? Since Rise was released on the Switch, the hardware requirements are quite moderate. Here are the official system requirements for Monster Hunter Rise:
Minimum:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit）
Processor: Intel Core i3-4130 or Core i5-3470 or AMD FX-6100
With the Update 16 “Clockwork City”, the Transmutation was newly added to the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online. With Update 28 “Markarth”, the set collection and reconstruction were added. MeinMMO shows you in this guide what you need to know about the Transmutation and Reconstruction.
What exactly is Transmutation? In Transmutation, you change the property of a piece of equipment, jewelry, or a weapon.
This way, you can turn an item with a healing effect like “Fortified” into equipment that better suits your offensive playstyle.
What is meant by the term “Reconstruction”? Unlike Transmutation, you do not change the property of an existing item, but create a new item from a known set. This way, you can also get your desired equipment.
You will learn how both works and what you need to do in this guide.

All About Transmutation
How does Transmutation work? For Transmutation, you need Transmutation Crystals. The Transmutation itself can only be performed at a Transmutation station. This is a type of crafting station specifically for Transmutation and Reconstruction.
When you interact with this Transmutation station, a menu opens up and you see the various items in your inventory and your bank. With just a few clicks, you can then apply the desired property.
However, you must know the property beforehand if you want it as a result of your Transmutation.
The Transmutation itself costs you 50 crystals and the appropriate property material.
First select the item whose property you want to change.
Then you can select the desired property.
What are Transmutation Crystals? This is a type of currency that you can use in crafting. Therefore, you will also find them in your inventory (I) under the Currency tab (at the very bottom). Unlike gold, this currency is not directly tradable.
You can have a maximum of 500, with ESO+ 1000 of them. Any Transmutation Crystals you earn beyond that will be lost. So always pay attention to whether you have enough space before opening Transmutation Geodes.
What are Transmutation Geodes? This is what the containers holding the Transmutation Crystals are called. There are different types of Geodes:
What do I need Transmutation Crystals for and where do I get them?
What do I need the crystals for? The Transmutation Crystals can only be used in crafting. Here there are 2 purposes:
Transmutation: Changing the property of a weapon, piece of armor, or jewelry. This costs 50 Transmutation Crystals.
Reconstruction: Creating a weapon, piece of armor, or jewelry from the set collection. The costs depend on the completeness of the collection. If you only have 1 set item, it costs 75 Transmutation Crystals. If the set is complete, you only need to pay 25 Crystals.
Always pay attention to which of the two options is cheaper for you. Because sometimes it is cheaper to reconstruct a set item than to change the property of an existing item. But also pay attention to your other materials, as enhancers / upgrade materials are also expensive.
Where do I get Transmutation Crystals? Generally, you can earn Transmutation Crystals through various activities.
Here you are guaranteed to receive Transmutation Crystals:
Daily 1st Random Dungeon via group search
Daily Rites of the Undaunted
Weekly Trial Quests
Leaderboards for arenas, trials, and battlegrounds
Completion rewards for campaigns in the Alliance War (Cyrodiil)
The 1st Just Reward of the day
Maze of Trials (Veteran mode)
Dragonstar Arena (Veteran mode)
Here you have at least the chance to receive them:
The last boss of a dungeon
In the Just Reward (after opening the 1st container)
In the Random Dungeon, after the first of the day

Which source is worth it the most? My personal recommendation is to long-term take the campaign rewards on as many characters as possible. For this, you must reach reward level 1 in the Alliance War. As a reward for the large campaigns, you receive 50 Transmutation Crystals.
If you need Transmutation Stones in the short term, in my experience it is most relaxed to run the daily random dungeon (normal). You can also do this with all your characters.
Once you have unlocked all character slots, that would be 180 Transmutation Stones per day.
You want to farm Transmutation Crystals? Then follow the link to our guide:
How do I keep track of my rewards? You can of course take notes. But it is easier to help yourself with add-ons. For example, the add-on WPamA gives you a cross-character overview.
Here you can see all rewards, beyond the Transmutation topic as well.
With the add-on WPamA, you can keep a cross-character overview.
However, you first need to assign a key to the add-on. You can do this in your settings under Controls → Extensions. Then you can navigate through the different categories using the button.
What is a Transmutation station?
The Transmutation station is comparable to a crafting station. It is needed to use the Transmutation Crystals. Here you can change the properties of already existing armor. Since update 28 Markarth, it is also possible to reconstruct equipment once it is listed in your collection.
You can find a free Transmutation station in the City of Clockwork. You can also acquire it for your home. You can buy it from the writ merchant Rolis Hlaalu. You will find him in each capital of the respective alliance: Daggerfall, Wayrest, and Eldenroot. From him, you can purchase the Transmutation station for 1,250 writs.
After that, you can place and use it in one of your houses.
However, you can also look in the guild stores to see if someone is selling it for gold if you do not possess any writs. Currently (on October 14, 2021), the price in gold is around 850,000 – 1,050,000 gold.
In this article, you will get some tricks on how to fill your coin pouch easier:
Writs are also a type of currency that you receive as a reward for master writs. They themselves are not tradable. However, the items you can purchase with them are not bound and can be sold or traded.
You receive master writs with a certain chance from the rewards of daily crafting dailies. But only if you have maximized the 1st passive skill of the skill line:
Alchemy: Solvent Proficiency (8/8)
Blacksmithing: Blacksmithing (10/10)
Jewelry Crafting: Engraving (5/5)
Clothing: Tailoring (10/10)
Woodworking: Woodworking (10/10)
Provisioning: Recipe Improvement (6/6)
Enchanting: Power Improvement (10/10)
How and where do I make master writs?
Apart from the consumable items, you need to craft equipment or weapons for master writs. These always belong to a specific set. You can find the specific crafting stations in the open world. If you do not know the locations, this add-on can help you:
This add-on also gives you cross-character information on learned traits and the level of your craft. You can also bind the overview to a key. Alternatively, you can click an icon on your user interface.
Important for your master writs is especially the following function. In the lower right of the overview, you can display all craftable sets and teleport to the way shrine. However, this does cost gold.
There are exceptions: Some sets are crafted on a “different level.” These include the sets at Augvea (Mage Guild) or in the Earth Forge (Warrior Guild). To reach these locations, you must use a portal.
You can find these in a building of the respective guild. But only after you have completed the guild quest line. Not every guild building has the right portal. You are at the right places:
Portal to Augvea:
Daggerfall (Deshaan)
Portal to the Earth Forge
Riften (Rift)
Marbruk (Greenshadow)
Knurr’kha (Harvestmark)
Evermore (Bankorai)
If you need to craft one of these sets, but have not yet completed the quest line, do not worry. Because there is another way to craft set items. Also at the writ merchant, there are adjustable crafting tables that every player can place in their home.
These crafting tables can be used by any other player, as long as they can visit the home. So ask around in your guild or community if someone has set crafting tables available.
The same goes for equipment sets from the PvP area of Cyrodiil or the Imperial City. Because you can only enter these areas through the campaign. Or you know someone who has the respective crafting tables in their home.
For the master writs themselves, I can also recommend the following add-on. It is particularly worth it if you want to complete a lot of writs at once:
By clicking on the boxes on the right side, you activate the automatic crafting at the corresponding crafting station. If you possess the finished item, the related master writ (unread) is marked in your inventory. You can then select it without worries and submit the quest.
This is your WritWorthy UI.
Where do I submit the quests for the master writs? It is not complicated at all. You can find the NPC Rolis Hlaalu in the capitals of the 3 alliances (Daggerfall, Wayrest, Eldenroot) at the location where you usually submit your crafting dailies.
Adjustable crafting tables for your own home
Of course, you can also acquire the mentioned crafting tables. It is similar to the Transmutation station. You can purchase them for 250 writs each at the writ merchant or in the guild store for gold.
Currently (on October 14, 2021), the price is around 200,000 – 250,000 gold per table.
A full collection of all crafting stations can take good time. Or a lot of writs or gold. Until then, you can still use the other crafting options.
How does Reconstruction work?
Reconstruction is also performed at a Transmutation station. Here, however, you do not change an existing item, but create a new item. For this, you must possess the appropriate piece in your set collection.
You can freely choose the property if you have the necessary materials. The costs in Transmutation Crystals may differ compared to Transmutation. This depends on how many parts of an item set you have already recorded in your collection.
Thus, the costs range from 25 – 75 Transmutation Crystals. It is therefore worth completing the collection. Keep an eye on which option is cheaper.
In Reconstruction, you can also select the quality level directly. However, this will cost you the usual amount of enhancers / upgrade materials. Nevertheless, you save a step.
In Reconstruction, you first select the item of the set.
In the 2nd step, you select property and quality.
Reconstruction: This is how it works!
Your equipment that you reconstruct automatically has an enchantment. This depends on the type of equipment. Here is an overview:
Light Armor: Max Magicka
Medium Armor: Max Stamina
Heavy Armor: Max Health
You can of course re-enchant your item at any time with another enchantment.
If you are more interested in ESO, this might interest you as well:
Since update 28 Markarth, ESO has the set collection. As soon as you bind an item of an item set, it appears in this collection. You can bind an item directly by right-clicking and “Bind”. The item will also be bound as soon as you destroy, analyze, equip, or sell it.
When selling, however, the item does not appear directly in your collection, but only when it has disappeared from the overview for a buyback. When trading an item to other players, the item must be unbound. Consequently, it will also not appear in your collection if you pass it on.
Until now, you have received the items of the various item sets purely randomly. From update 32 Deadlands onwards, players will only receive items that are still missing in their collection.

The Xbox version of Final Fantasy XIV was confirmed years ago by Phil Spencer. However, there has been silence on it since then. Director Yoshida commented on it in our interview.
This is the situation regarding the Xbox version: Discussions about a possible Xbox version of Final Fantasy XIV have been ongoing for years. At a X019 conference, Xbox head Phil Spencer confirmed that the MMORPG will be available on their consoles:
[…] You can be sure that we will bring the game [FFXIV] to Xbox.
However, it has already been 2 years since that statement, with no new information about a possible release on Xbox.
What Yoshida said: During the press tour for the new addon Endwalker, we were able to ask director Naoki Yoshida a few questions from MeinMMO. This included a brief question about the Xbox version at the end of the interview.
Yoshida reacted surprisingly with laughter and replied:
To be honest, that is the number 1 question that I cannot answer at the moment. We are still in discussions with Microsoft, and they are very productive and helpful regarding this. Therefore, I don’t want players to lose hope.
Please, don’t lose hope [for an Xbox version]. If there is good news, we will definitely share it properly with the players.
Naoki Yoshida, Director of FFXIV
In an interview with gamingbolt.com, he confirmed the statement again. There is much he wants to discuss regarding the Xbox version, but cannot, Yoshida said. However, he is confident that the time for that will come.
Fans can be assured that the Xbox version of the MMORPG has not been forgotten or quietly canceled.
What could this mean? Longtime fans of FFXIV know that major changes in the MMORPG often happen very slowly. A revamp of the jobs or entirely new systems occur almost exclusively every 2 years with the addon release.
The FFXIV team works under a very strict schedule to regularly deliver new content for the MMORPG and “on the side” work on innovations like graphical upgrades for the PS5. Therefore, it’s not surprising that the already announced Xbox version is still pending.
Yoshida said in January 2021 to VG24/7:
Since we are currently busy developing Endwalker and preparing the PS5 version, which follows the service of the title on PS4, we would be happy to return to the Xbox version once everything has settled!
The PS5 version has since been released and the release of Endwalker is scheduled for November 23. The FFXIV team is working on the final adjustments and refinements.
It seems like a good time to officially announce the Xbox version now. Perhaps during the next producer stream for Endwalker, which will take place before the release in November.
Would you be interested in an Xbox version of FFXIV? Or would you prefer to see the game on other platforms like the Switch? Let us know in the comments.

Assault rifles are the most used weapon class in Call of Duty: Warzone, and virtually every Battle Royale player is likely to have their favorite. We asked you – Which assault rifle do you actually prefer? And you responded in large numbers.
Assault rifles are the all-round weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone. Whether short, medium, or long-range against the enemy – with the right assault rifle, you can handle them all. It’s no wonder that the “Swiss Army knives of the Warzone weapons” are so popular.
But which assault rifle is the most popular among you? In a survey that started on October 10 at 5 PM, we asked you exactly that, and 1,715 readers of the MeinMMO community gave us an answer (as of October 14 / 10:30 AM). Here you will find the complete evaluation with a clear winner:
Assault Rifles in Season 6 – Places 23 to 11
Rank 23: FR 5.56 – 3 votes
Rank 23: Oden – 3 votes
Rank 21: FAL – 6 votes
Rank 20: Groza – 9 votes
Rank 19: AS VAL – 10 votes
Rank 19: FN Scar 17 – 10 votes
Rank 17: AN-94 – 15 votes
Rank 16: AK-47 CoD MW – 21 votes
Rank 15: QBZ-83 – 28 votes
Rank 14: Grav – 29 votes
Rank 13: RAM-7 – 37 votes
Rank 12: C58 – 38 votes
Rank 11: FFAR 1 – 47 votes
A glance at the top 13 weapons in the ranking already shows how much broader the weapon meta of the Warzone has become in recent months. Assault rifles like the RAM-7, QBZ, or Groza are indeed considered strong in Battle Royale. But being strong is not enough anymore – the favor of the experts and the community is also important today to prevail.
In Season 6, experts like JGOD or TrueGameData see 3 newcomers in the meta:
The AMAX dominated the meta shortly after the hype of tactical rifles and FFAR 1 in early 2021. Some nerfs have taken a bit of its shine away. However, if you prefer weapons from CoD MW and don’t mind a bit of recoil, you’ll get solid damage with good range.
Rank 9: EM2 – 78 votes
The EM2 from Cold War comes with a pre-mounted sight, allowing you to save an attachment slot. It can also perform well as sniper support in Season 5. A special feature is its chest hits: here the EM2 offers unlimited range, and the time-to-kill does not decrease in the second damage range.
Rank 8: Kilo 141 – 82 votes
The Kilo is a reliable companion in Warzone but has suffered from a few nerfs. The assault rifle now has a third damage range, and at around 80 meters, the time-to-kill exceeds one second. However, the Kilo is very stable, and if you avoid too many long-range scenarios or enjoy playing Rebirth Island, the Kilo still rocks.
Rank 7: Grau 5.56 – 110 votes
The Grau was the summer hit of 2020 and still enjoys the trust of many players – rightly so. With its strong iron sight, you can even take down distant opponents without a scope and save an attachment slot. While its damage isn’t spectacular, the Grau impresses with its stability.
Rank 6: Krig 6 – 119 votes
This assault rifle was by far the most popular weapon until the last nerf and still draws from that phase. The damage/recoil ratio is no longer optimal but still quite usable. The Krig can still hold its position at 6th place.
Assault Rifles Season 6 – Places 5 to 1 with Setups
For the top 5, we will additionally show you the currently most popular setup according to “WZRanked.com“. The statistical site evaluates a part of the player information from Warzone to determine the most played weapons including their setups. You can also get an assessment of the current meta there – how this “meta formula” works, we will explain here:
The M4 was already a meta contender in the multiplayer of Modern Warfare and scores with a good risk-to-reward ratio. The recoil is noticeable but manageable, and the damage is also good. A solid 5th place.
Warzone: M4A1 Setup
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: M16 Grenadier
Sight: VLK 3.0x Sight
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 60 Round Magazine
Rank 4: M13 with 151 votes
The M13 is extremely stable and thus ranks high on our list of the best weapons when it comes to assault rifles for range. If you want to securely blow out the lights of opponents at long distances, there’s hardly a better choice in this weapon class. However, the M13 burns through a lot of ammunition due to its high fire rate.
Warzone: M13 Setup
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Tempus Marksman
Sight: VLK 3.0x Sight
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 50 Round Magazine
Rank 3: XM4 with 169 votes
The XM4 is an exciting option if you don’t mind the noticeable recoil. Whether in close or long-range combat – you benefit from the very high neck damage multiplier, which is on par with headshots. This means you also deal headshot damage to the upper chest area, which can make the difference in critical moments.
Warzone: XM4 Setup
Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 13.5″ Special Forces
Sight: Axial Arms 3x
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Ammunition: STANAG 60 Round
Rank 2: FARA 83 with 171 votes
The FARA has an interesting history in Warzone. Initially regarded as a close-combat behemoth, it was completely reworked by the developers. After a brief period at the top of the range meta, where the FARA had almost no recoil, the weapon fell off a bit, but it’s still stable enough to land in your second place.
Warzone: FARA Setup
Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
Barrel: 18.7″ Spetsnaz RPK Barrel
Sight: Axial Arms 3x
Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip
Ammunition: Spetsnaz 60 Round
Rank 1: AK-47 from Cold War with 369 votes
The AK-47 from Cold War has clawed its way into the weapon meta in recent months and has risen step by step. Initially conquering the place as the best sniper support weapon, after a recoil buff, this Russian original now works well at long range. The damage/recoil ratio is currently unbeatable in Warzone – it is not a laser with perfect control but a beast that wants to be tamed by you. A deserved first place.
That was our ranking of all assault rifles in Warzone. Thank you to all readers who participated in the survey. The meta of the Warzone is constantly evolving but currently offers many options, and the fight for the top spots was quite close – except for the AK-47, which clearly wins with a substantial lead.
With Windows 11, the latest version of the popular operating system has launched. However, especially users with AMD processors are currently facing issues. And with the latest update, the problems are expected to worsen. Microsoft and AMD are working on a fix.
This has now happened: Microsoft has introduced its first update for Windows 11. The update brings a lot of bug fixes for various issues. Among other things, network problems with Intel wireless devices are said to be a thing of the past.
However, the update is not only supposed to solve problems. Microsoft and AMD have now jointly found that there are significant performance issues between Windows 11 and Ryzen processors.
Websites like Techspot are reporting that the performance is now expected to be even worse than at the release of Windows 11, where there were already issues (via techspot.com). Some are reporting a drop of up to 15% in performance.
Where are the problems coming from? Already after the release of Windows 11, Microsoft and AMD explained that Windows 11 is poorly optimized for Ryzen processors (via techpowerup.com).
The problem primarily lies with the L3 cache. The cache of the processor is a special buffer memory that sits between the RAM and the processor. The L3 cache is primarily supposed to simplify and speed up data exchange between the cores. However, there are currently high latencies that are not intended.
Performance issues are expected to be resolved in a week
Microsoft, along with AMD, has stated that they intend to address the issues with AMD processors throughout this month. Keep an eye on Windows updates. The updates are set to be released on October 19 and 21 and will be distributed via a software update from AMD (via reddit.com).
What you can do instead: On one hand, you can try to improve your gaming performance with a trick. However, the effectiveness of this trick really depends on the game and the program.
Another option is to roll back the Windows 11 upgrade to Windows 10. You can use the built-in recovery function of Windows 10 if you noticeably experience performance issues and find the problems annoying. However, this is only possible within the first 10 days after the upgrade.

MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch loves MMORPGs and usually tries every new game on the market. However, in 2021 he faced the problem of hardly being able to decide between the many titles. This is partly due to the good further development of old games, but also to new releases.
What is my problem? In recent years, there has been little movement in the MMORPG market. This especially gave me time to farm old games in 2019 and 2020:
In my favorite game Guild Wars 2, I have pushed my playtime to over 8,000 hours.
With the release of Greymoor, I really buried myself deep into ESO.
In the meantime, I had new experiences in Black Desert, Retail-WoW, and ArcheAge.
However, in recent weeks, it has repeatedly happened that my playtime is not enough to do justice to all the MMORPGs I am currently really looking forward to.
I know that this is an absolute luxury problem. But after the long MMORPG drought since 2016, I would have never thought that I would ever have this problem.
New World consumes a lot of time, Bless Unleashed is a pleasant surprise
What is currently occupying me the most? I spent almost all of my last 100 hours in MMORPGs in New World. I used that time to create guides, explore the world, level up, and of course to chop down trees and mine ores.
Because, like my colleague Mark Sellner, I find the soundscape and gathering in New World simply great:
My highlights in New World are – besides the great sound – especially the combat system and the wars over fortresses. Currently, New World has me completely captivated and is a lot of fun.
In the meantime, I have recently farmed the Halloween event in Guild Wars 2 and am trying to complete the daily quests there, started the latest season in Black Desert, and completed the prologue for the new DLC Deadlands in ESO.
But my to-do list is much, much longer.
What else do I want to do? Actually, I had already planned to start WoW Classic again in mid-June and really enjoy the new expansion Burning Crusade. I missed the original release in 2007 and even had a guild that wanted to raid with me this year.
But personal reasons, as well as the release of Swords of Legends Online, PSO2 New Genesis, and Crowfall, have thrown a small wrench into my plans. Even though all three games have not been very successful so far, I wanted to at least try each one to see how much potential there is.
Ironically, Bless Unleashed is after New World my highlight of 2021, due to the combat system and the world bosses.
Additionally, I actually want to invest more time in Bless Unleashed. This MMORPG is my positive surprise of 2021, as I found it completely uninteresting beforehand, but the combat system and the huge world bosses completely convinced me. Since the release of New World, Bless Unleashed has been completely neglected by me.
Also in my backlog are the new features in Neverwinter and Blade & Soul. Both made major revisions in 2021 that I want to check out for myself, but I have not gotten around to it and probably won’t for a while.
Because Elyon is already launching this Sunday, the next MMORPG that I will definitely try out to also be able to provide an assessment here.
In addition, at the end of 2020, I started a Let’s Play of Final Fantasy XIV to finally dive deeper into this MMORPG. But this project is currently completely on hold.
Many expansions, revisions, and new games enrich MMORPGs
What is the reason that there is so much to do right now? 2021 was a really good year from the perspective of MMORPG fans and still holds some highlights:
So anyone who, like me, loves MMORPGs was well served this year.
In Mortal Online 2, PvP and accurate aiming and blocking play an important role. I struggled at the beginning.
The losers of 2021: Due to the many different innovations that 2021 brought for MMORPG fans, in my opinion, two games fell by the wayside that had significantly more potential:
Swords of Legends Online was not a groundbreaking game, but it would have definitely become an MMORPG in which I would have immersed myself deeply in the years 2019 and 2020. The dungeons and raids make a good impression.
Crowfall actually wanted to build a hardcore PvP community. However, the release version was rather weak and garnered little attention. Also, for PvP fans, there are better alternatives with Albion Online, Mortal Online 2, New World, and even Elyon, at least in my opinion.
The release of Lost Ark is also planned for early 2022, an MMORPG from Korea that is already eagerly awaited in the West.
Project TL, an expensive MMORPG from Korea, as well as Corepunk could also celebrate their release in 2022.
There will definitely be another expansion for ESO.
How did you experience the year 2021? Did you also have the problem of not being able to decide between the games? Or were you rather disappointed with all the innovations? Feel free to write it in the comments.

Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War have made a new combat pack available for PS Plus members upon the release of Season 6. What is included in the Combat Pack and how to get it, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
What is the DLC all about? Sony’s console PlayStation and the CoD series have had a partnership for a while, providing PS Plus service users with regular benefits.
This also includes attractive DLC packages at the start of each new season. For Season 6, there is something new again, including a new skin for an operator from Cold War.
The contents of the Season 6 Combat Pack
This is all included in the new combat pack for Season 6: You will get a bunch of cosmetics again. The following goodies can be claimed for free in Season 6.
Epic skin for the operator Kwan Song from Cold War
Epic blueprint for a tactical rifle
Epic emblem
Epic watch
Epic sticker
Epic calling card
Token that grants you double XP for an hour
How can you use this? Redeem the Combat Pack and you can use the goodies in CoD: Warzone and Cold War. But beware! To use the operator skin of Song in Warzone, you must have access to the game Cold War. Only then will you gain access to Operator Song.
You can also admire the contents of the combat pack in this nice trailer:

How to get the Combat Pack for Cold War and Warzone
These are the requirements: As already mentioned, you must be a member of PS Plus. If your current subscription is active, you can unlock the pack in your “PS Plus” section on PlayStation. If you cannot find it, use the text search for the term “combat pack”.
The next time you start Cold War or Warzone, everything should be ready.
As mentioned, Operator Song is only available if you own the game Cold War. Those who only play the free Warzone unfortunately do not have access to the Korean.
How long can you get this thing? The current combat pack will be available for download throughout Season 6. But be careful: Once the season is over, the pack will be gone and replaced by a new one.
What about other platforms? The combat pack is an exclusive part of the cooperation between Sony and Call of Duty. Therefore, it is exclusively for PlayStation players with a PS Plus subscription. Those playing on Xbox or PC will unfortunately miss out.
The Rocket Beans want to bring new momentum to their program and, starting November 1st, will operate under the motto: “Live is live, VOD is VOD”. They are restructuring their channel significantly, and what this means for you is reported by MeinMMO.
Who are the Rocket Beans? The Beans were founded on June 14, 2012, by the four hosts Budi, Etienne, Nils, Simon and the managing director Arno Heinisch (The links lead to the respective Twitter profiles).
Some names might already be familiar to you from television, as four of the original Beans hosted the gaming show “Game One” on the MTV television channel starting in 2006. The show mainly focused on video games, while on Rocket Beans TV they catered to a broader spectrum.
After “Game One” was canceled at the end of 2014, they established their own programming, which was released on the eponymous YouTube channel.
How does their current program run? The current program of the Rocket Beans consists of a mix of live broadcasts and recorded shows that are streamed live. The Beans follow a broadcasting schedule similar to that of TV listings (via Rocket Beans TV).
The Rocket Beans can be found 24/7 on their website, Twitch, or YouTube. However, they want to change this now; Nils said: “We believe we’ve played enough television now – it’s time for something new again.”
This is how their new motto works:
“Live is live, VOD is VOD” aims to show you only live content when it is actually live. This means the stream will no longer run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across different platforms.
The Beans briefly explained in this video how their program will run from November 1st:

There is also a longer video where Etienne, Colin, Andreas, Lisa, and Arno talk about the restructuring and go into more detail about the changes (via YouTube).
This is how their plan should look now:
Live streams on Thursday and Friday.
The live streams will subsequently be available as VOD.
An additional live event on one Saturday each month.
The recorded shows will be uploaded on the remaining weekdays to their corresponding YouTube channels.
Individual hosts from Rocket Beans TV will stream on their own Twitch channels.
What do the Beans aim to achieve with this restructuring? Nils states in the video that the linear format of the channel restricts the Beans and that it is time for something new. They want to produce cooler content, become more flexible, and strengthen the aspect of events and larger shows.
With the individual streams of the hosts, flexibility is to be strengthened, as the streamers can decide for themselves how long they want to play a game and how they manage it. Let’s Plays should not be overlooked with this new broadcasting rhythm.
Such “Let’s Play” formats like “Knallhart durchgenommen” can then be uploaded as recordings throughout the week. These formats do not require a live stream.
Furthermore, Collin emphasizes that this makes block productions possible. If the Rocket Beans notice that a game is particularly well received, they can bring more episodes directly. Planning will thus become easier.
Further detailed questions and answers can also be found on the Beans’ page (via Rocket Beans TV).
Under the announcement video, fans express mixed feelings.
User Skittles expresses his concerns: “I don’t watch Twitch. It will probably become even more confusing for people like me, who generally don’t always have the time and desire to check 30 channels and websites :(‘
Some fans are confused, Sebastian S summarizes: “I’m getting too old… I don’t understand it anymore.”
Daniel Hebel notes: “You forget something: Twitch and YouTube partly have different target groups. I find it disappointing that you’re relocating parts of a format (e.g. speedrun training) to Twitch. I would love to absorb the full program – but have nothing to do with Twitch. I can hardly imagine that the majority will hop between platforms to catch everything. You say you’re giving the platforms what they want. Instead, you should ask the viewer what they want. Please make everything available as VOD on YouTube. Thank you.”
User Mac is concerned but supports the Beans: “I won’t lie: I have a pretty bad feeling about this and I’m worried, but I will continue to support you.”
Part of the community believes: The change could lead to certain formats fading away or the community having to go on a long search to find individual and suitable content for themselves. It remains to be seen whether the new motto will be successful or whether the Rocket Beans will benefit less from it.
What do you think about the program changes of the Rocket Beans? Do you still follow the Rocket Beans or do you want to watch their shows now? Feel free to leave us a comment.

Perks determine victory or defeat in Destiny 2. Since Bungie has announced another revision in the area of “weapon perks”, you should pay attention to which weapon you dismantle. We will show you which one could get a new coat of paint.
Which perk is meant? It concerns the trait “Adrenaline Junkie”. This provided bonus damage and handling with grenade kills. The roll was often found in builds optimized for spam-grenades. Grenades are definitely a way to deal massive damage, but they are not the meta.
Bungie announces fun news for the perk “Adrenaline Junkie”
In Destiny 2, certain traits are adjusted when they are not used often enough. This brings Bungie new metas and variety in combat. So it is now with this one.
Bungie surprised the community with an unexpected message in a tweet:
Recommended editorial content
At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.
I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms.
Read more about our privacy policy.
In this tweet, Senior Community Manager “dmg04” informs the community that they should keep their “Adrenaline Junkie” rolls on their weapons. Soon the team will share fun and good news regarding this perk.
Why is it being adjusted? It is uncertain why Bungie wants to adjust this particular trait. It is possible that it does not meet what the development team hoped for.
Since Bungie often observes gameplay from the shadows, it is possible that they want to revise this for that reason. The fact is, you will soon witness a change. Therefore, keep your weapons with this perk in your nearly full vault until Bungie can provide further details on this.
What could await us? One does not know yet. “Adrenaline Junkie” was known for boosting your damage and weapon handling through grenade kills. Whether this effect will be maintained is unlikely, as it could rarely prove itself in difficult activities.
A fun adjustment could be one that increases your grenade damage per kill. This effect would then stack up to five times. However, this is just wishful thinking and depends solely on Bungie regarding what changes they will allow.
What do you think of this announcement? Are you frustrated that your favorite perk will soon be changed? Or do you find it cool that Bungie is addressing it to make it more attractive in the game? Let us know!

The new MMO New World had some difficulties at the beginning, especially when you wanted to play with your friends. One of the main disruptions has now disappeared.
Why couldn’t you play with friends? At the launch of New World, almost all servers were massively overloaded. People waited for hours in line just to finally log in.
This quickly led to Amazon locking most German servers for new characters, as they simply became too full. This meant that for a long time it was not possible to create a character on 43 of the total 45 German servers.
If you started a little later than your friends, you couldn’t log into the same server as them. And even if you were already on the right server, you had to queue around the same time. This was often associated with very long wait times.
What has changed? Most European servers of New World are now available for character creation again. So the chances that you can play with your friends have massively increased.
But one more thing has quietly disappeared, although it was one of the biggest problems of New World, at least at the start. The queues are mostly a thing of the past.
This was particularly noticeable on Friday evening, when we were able to log in without a queue in the editorial office. The same happened on Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening, during peak times.
The player numbers have hardly changed overall. During the mentioned times, there were occasionally over 670,000 people in New World (via steamcharts.com)
Nevertheless, we have not encountered any or only very low wait times of less than 10 minutes on the servers Ravenal, Asgard, Vimur, and Vyrij. This status has been stable for almost a whole week now. This greatly facilitates playing with friends.
Hopefully, such images belong to the past now
Now is a good time to start with New World
Why right now? The island Aeternum has been open for just over two weeks now, for all who want to take a closer look at New World. With the elimination of the queues and limited servers, it is no longer a problem to play together with your friends.
Even if they have been playing since the release, it is not too late to catch up and experience the higher expeditions together. You are still on time to witness how the cities slowly build up and players discover more and more things.
However, you do not have to figure everything out on your own anymore, as the New World community has been busy creating various guides over the past two weeks that can help you if you want.
You can still experience the feeling of something new and be part of the launch of a major MMORPG, but you are no longer dependent on figuring everything out yourself or being separated from your friends.
The perfect time to start New World and explore Aeternum.
What is New World actually? New World is the new MMO from Amazon, which has made a huge impact in a short time. At times, over 900,000 people played New World simultaneously on Steam, and it quickly reached number one on Twitch.
The game sends you to the island Aeternum. It’s about uncovering the secrets of the magical Azoth, which makes you immortal. In doing so, you join one of three factions and fight for dominance on the island.
New World features:
PvE content focusing on exploration and life skills as well as dungeons and world events
PvP in the open world and in separate game modes and in the large 50vs50 battles
Housing and the ability to have the prettiest house of all to show off to everyone
A classless character system where you are what you wear. You have 11 different weapons to choose from
An elaborate guild system where you can even govern a city as a guild
An outstanding sound design that actually offers you real benefits in the game
How can you participate? New World is available on Amazon and via Steam for €39.99. All you need then is a Steam account.
It is important to mention that the purchase on Amazon only provides a Steam code and a Steam account is required to play New World.
What do you think of New World? Have you been there from the beginning or are you now considering taking a look? Have you, as an active player, also noticed that the queues have been significantly reduced? Or is your server still very crowded? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
A racer in GTA Online wanted to drive home a safe victory when he suddenly had insane bad luck. The community describes it like the blue shell from Mario Kart. The video of the accident is being discussed heatedly.
This is what makes the clip special: In the video, you can see a stunt race in the last lap. The top five positions are battling hard for the lead, bumping and crashing. Amid all this chaos, the creator of the clip manages to navigate through and take the lead.
After a looping that leads directly onto the finish straight with a jump, the driver faces insane bad luck. Because there, the slowest player is parked with his car on its side.
Like the blue shell in Mario Kart
This is how the player gets eliminated: In the clip, you can see how the shown player fights his way from 6th place to the front. After the jump through the looping, you only see at the last moment before landing that something is in the way.
The last-placed player is lying with his car exactly in the middle of the track on its side. He is positioned in such a way that he is very hard to notice for drivers coming out of the looping in the center. The clip creator ZonZolto shows on reddit how it ended for him.
He landed on the parked car, bounced off to the right, and tumbled, after a few flips and spins, finally off the racetrack. The respawn took so long that he finished the race in 8th place.

What does the community say? The clip is super well received on reddit. In 17 hours, it already gathered over 13,000 upvotes and nearly 400 comments. The commenters empathize with the driver’s bad luck and describe the clip as “pain.”
Others write:
“It’s like getting the blue shell in Mario Kart at the finish line… aaaaaaargh,” writes Buttachop187
“The world of GTA stunts is brutal,” says noahloy
“These races really annoy me. Some idiot keeps spinning me around all the time. It feels like you’re being motivated to ram other players before they ram you” finds Chervolet_Dr
Others ask ZonZolto if his monitor survived this incident. He explains, “Yes, the monitor did. But another controller had to leave us.”
Do you enjoy racing in Los Santos yourself and want to win these? We have for you on MeinMMO an overview of the fastest cars in GTA Online. There we show you which cars have the best top speed and which cars have the best lap times. So you’ll know exactly which supercars to save for to do well in races.
But when a block like the one in this clip is lying on the track, then you need a lot of luck along with a fast car.

FIFA 22 receives its first major update. Title Update 1 addresses minor issues throughout the game and adjusts several gameplay aspects.
When will the FIFA 22 update be released? The Title Update is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Below is an overview of what Title Update 1 in FIFA 22 has in store for you.
What’s included in the new FIFA 22 update – Patch Notes
Overall, there are a lot of points in the patch notes for the first update in FIFA 22. On Twitter, EA describes the update as a way to “polish” many areas of the game. Thus, a large part of it deals with minor details.
For example:
Improvements to the menus
Minor bugs in gameplay
Display errors
Changes to certain animations. For instance, the walkout animation in packs is now slightly delayed, or fan choreography can now be seen in the stadium when the game is paused.
However, there are also some gameplay points we want to take a closer look at.
Now, the update tweaks the goalkeepers a bit: They should no longer be as effective at saving shots fired into the top corner from inside the penalty area. This is especially true for shots coming from 11.27 meters or less. These are also extremely difficult shots to save in real life and are likely to score more often in the future.
At the same time, new goalkeeper animations have been added for when they try to block a high finesse shot. However, the effectiveness of the keepers for these shots is only said to be “marginally” increased, according to the patch notes. Primarily, the reactions of the keepers to such shots should look more authentic.
Goalkeepers could soon handle finesse shots better
How this ultimately plays out in the game remains to be seen. Because finesse shots, especially from a long distance, have proven to be extremely effective in the first days. You can find tips for shooting in FIFA 22 here.
In addition, minor situations like faulty saves will be adjusted. Lastly, there were sometimes issues with goalkeepers using their hands to block while sprinting out of the penalty area. This should also no longer happen.
Improved defenders: Not only the goalkeepers but also the defenders will be slightly changed. Specifically: In the case of a corner kick, they should pay better attention. The defensive players should better cover potential counter situations.
Moreover, sliding tackles meant to intercept played balls will be improved. This should also help in defending counter situations.
What else will change in gameplay: In addition to player adjustments, there will be a few more changes in the game.
The referee logic will be improved. More fouls should be called on high-speed tackles, while lighter contact will result in fewer fouls.
The accuracy of throw-ins will be improved.
Feigned shots could lead to a pass – that will be fixed.
Overall, the adjustments are very extensive. In addition to gameplay adjustments, there are also bug fixes in all modes. Some examples:
In Career Mode, there were sometimes board demands that contradicted each other.
Sometimes players demanded to be played even when they were injured.
In VOLTA Arcade, tournaments can now be started with at least 2 players.
In drop-in matches in Pro Clubs, tactical adjustments were not always implemented correctly.
You can find the complete list of changes in the FIFA 22 Patch Notes (via EA Sports).
Along with all these changes, several new songs are being added to FIFA 22, and 31 new star heads are also coming into the game. These refer to realistic faces of certain players – which players are involved has not yet been revealed by EA.
What issues are you currently facing with the game? Are you satisfied with the changes – or do you think something else should be adjusted? Tell us in the comments!
League of Legends is firmly in the hands of Asians in 2021. The lead in e-sports is noticeable at the LoL Worlds 2021. Half of the main round has been played: all 6 teams from Europe and the USA are in positions that would mean elimination before the knockout rounds. The favorites from China and South Korea are even stronger than feared: Showmaker and Viper are the stars of the World Championship so far.
It was expected that all 3 teams from the USA would be eliminated in the main round without a chance
The EU team Rogue was also seen as having no chance: They landed in the death group A, with the two tournament favorites DWG Kia (World Champion 2020) and FunPlus Phoenix (World Champion 2019)
The European team Fnatic was seen as having good chances in group C, as they had “relatively easy” opponents from Asia
The European team MAD Lions was even regarded as the favorite to win group D, as there was “only” the aging team Gen G. from South Korea and the US team “Team Liquid”
This is how things are really going for the USA:For the USA, things are going as badly as expected:
Cloud 9, the team with starting player Perkz, ended up in the death group A after the play-ins – the “Showmaker” show is currently in progress there. The Korean midlaner plays LoL as if from another star. Cloud 9 has lost all 3 games
100 Thieves, the champion team from the USA with the German Felix “Abedagge” Braun, has only won 1 game in group B, against the underdogs from Japan. 100 Thieves would need one or better, even two miracles against T1 with Faker or the favorites Edward Gaming from China to advance
Team Liquid in group D has drawn a strong team from China, “LNG Esports,” and promptly lost against them. Team Liquid sensationally won one game against MAD Lions, but stands with 1-2 before elimination.
This is the final boss of LoL right now: DWG KIA, still undefeated.
Europe is also only at 2-7
This is how things are for the teams from Europe: Rogue is hopeless in group A, there was a victory against Cloud 9, but against the tournament favorites DWG Kia and FunPlus Phoenix, as expected, they lost.
The co-favorite for the tournament victory, MAD Lions Esports, managed to win against the strongest in the group, Gen G. But they also lost against the “play-ins” team LNG Esports and the team Liquid that was actually hopelessly outmatched. Although MAD Lions is still most likely to advance to the main round, at the moment the team is the biggest disappointment of the LoL Worlds.
Showmaker and Viper have not died even once after 3 games
Who are the stars of the tournament so far? The midlaner of DWG Kia, Showmaker, is playing a dominant Worlds. In his 3 games he has not died even once. He has a KDA of 35 with stats of 14/0/21. This is even stronger than expected.
Similarly brutal is the ADC of Edward Gaming, Viper. He is also regarded as one of the best players in the world and has not been sent back to the well even once during the 3 games. Viper has a KDA of 31 with 11/0/21.
In fact, 31 players from Asia are leading in KDA. Only in 32nd place does Santorin, the jungler of Team Liquid, appear.
League of Legends currently seems firmly in the hands of the stars from Asia.
The star of “Keria” is currently rising at the LoL Worlds 2021. He has a KDA of 10.0 with 3/3/27 and is thus in 8th place among the participants:
The South Korean series Squid Game is all the rage, and after the end of the 9 episodes, many are longing for more Squid Game content. We at MeinMMO have compiled a selection for you.
What is this Squid Game? Behind the curious name “Squid Game” lies a Netflix series from South Korea. In it, 456 heavily indebted people are invited by a dubious organization to participate in a series of games. The prize for the winner is a tempting 33 million euros.
It quickly becomes clear that the seemingly harmless children’s games, which the candidates are supposed to complete, have deadly consequences, and the losers are ruthlessly eliminated. Nevertheless, most of the candidates decide to voluntarily continue participating in the murderous games, bringing all sorts of drama and nerve-wracking tension.
Due to this exciting social dynamic and the sadistically cruel games, Squid Game quickly became a global hit.

These online games have a lot of Squid Game feeling
How did we select the games? The following games all have elements from Squid Game, meaning they involve seemingly harmless games that only allow one winner (or one winning team) after fierce battles. We have consciously focused on games that you can play online with multiple players.
These cheerful characters then wobble through a series of wacky games, and with each round, there are fewer left, until in the end, the last remaining choice performs a wild race for the final victory.
What is the gameplay like? At the beginning of each round, 60 of the cheerful wobbly characters start and then tap through a series of games with funny sounds. Among them are wacky competitions, like various obstacle courses where you dodge rotating barriers, balance over tilting seesaws, or jump over floating platforms.
There are also games such as a tag game on a player or the timely collection of golden eggs. There are tons of different games, and anyone who is too slow eventually falls into a pink slime and is permanently eliminated from the round. The remaining jelly beans can then continue to the next game.
This continues until the last bean can grab a golden crown. To make it even more dramatic, the wobbly figures can shove and hold each other, which always leads to wild, chaotic scuffles.
Why should you play it as a Squid Game fan? The similarity to the series begins with the vibrant colors prevalent in Fall Guys, which can also be recognized in Squid Game, among other things, in the colorful stairwell or the uniforms of the game organization.
Additionally, the gameplay involves a horde of determined players plunging fatalistically into a series of crazy games, and after each round, they are mercilessly culled.
After each round, the losers are thrown off a platform amid loud shouting and tumble somewhere into nowhere. This strikingly resembles the icons in Squid Game that fade away when a player meets their tragic end.
Of course, Fall Guys is a great fun for the whole family, and the cute Fall Guys do not die when they are eliminated. Or do they? If you have seen Squid Game, you might see Fall Guys in a different light.
