The release of Diablo 2: Resurrected was somewhat rocky, but most issues seem to have been resolved by now. Only one stubborn problem remains: AVX support. This currently prevents some players from enjoying the remaster. Blizzard is responding.
What are the current problems? Currently, there are complaints from some fans that they cannot play Diablo 2 on PC. The game simply doesn’t start. This issue follows several other launch difficulties, such as:
Most of these problems have now been resolved, but some affected players still cannot start Diablo 2.
Where does the problem come from? The AVX technology has apparently been identified as the cause – a protocol that has been used in almost all processors since 2011. In the original requirements for Diablo 2 (from 2000), AVX was not a requirement.
By now, Blizzard states that all processors that do not support the technology fall below the minimum requirements. This is unfortunate because: during beta, everything worked, and it is now leading to poor ratings for the game. The team is now responding to the complaints.
At GameStar, Diablo 2 is mostly well-received – but some fans are having problems.
AVX fix is coming, but it could “affect all players”
Will the error be fixed? Right now, developers are working to fix the required AVX support for Diablo 2: Resurrected. According to community manager PezRadar (via Blizzard forums):
“The team believes they have a potential fix, but it goes beyond AVX. It could affect all users […] While CPUs without AVX fall below our minimum requirements, we want to ensure that as many people as possible can play. Setups without AVX worked in the beta. When we optimized the game, we accidentally added AVX as a requirement.”
What is AVX anyway? Advanced Vector Extensions, or AVX, roughly accelerates the processing of images, videos, and graphics by the CPU. Since 2011, nearly every new mainstream processor from both AMD and Intel uses this technology.
However, this will take a few more days. To ensure that players who are already playing are not affected, quality assurance will continue testing for a few more days. Those who have already bought Diablo 2 but prefer to wait for a final purchase until after the fix should contact customer support for a possible return.
What’s the status of Diablo 2? The remaster does exactly what most fans expected: it brings new light to an old game but doesn’t change much – although there are indeed a few changes.
Some problems and new bugs are being fixed by patches, but most remains the same. Consequently, Diablo 2 also excites those players who can play it and can even attract some new fans. If you’re still unsure whether Diablo 2 is worth it for you, our checklist on MeinMMO will help you:
For more than 24 hours, you can finally play New World. But how do you like the new MMO so far? Or have you only been standing in queues? We created a survey about this, and as always, you can share your experiences in the comments.
How did the release of New World go? The launch of New World varied greatly, depending on whether you got on a server early enough or had to wait long in queues.
Once on the server, the game ran very smoothly and had hardly any problems. Disconnects or crashes were rare. Some players were able to play from morning till night.
However, most players had to settle for a queue. On some servers, this consisted of over 10,000 players who lined up and had to wait a long time. Because of crashes in the queue, some players never made it onto the servers.
How did the release go from your perspective? Were you able to play New World, and what is your impression of the new MMO so far? Are you satisfied with the game, or did you expect something different? Please share that in the comments.
You can also participate in this survey and give us a quick overview of your opinion.
This is how you can vote: In our survey tool, you can cast your vote and let us know what your first impression of New World is.
You can vote exactly once, and the choice cannot be undone.
We will analyze the survey and your comments in the coming days and present you with a reflection of our readers’ opinions.
MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch accompanied the entire release and spent the first hours in the game. You can read his opinion on the launch of New World here:
Call of Duty: Warzone has released an impressive cinematic trailer for the new Season 6. You can find out what new information is revealed by the trailer on MeinMMO.
What’s going on? Call of Duty: Warzone is approaching the last season with Black Ops Cold War and has now begun the conclusion of the joint story. What started with the capture of Operator Adler now ends with the ceremonial reunification of the legendary “Black Ops” operators Woods, Mason, and Hudson.
To this end, the Warzone creators have now released a cinematic trailer. However, it not only concludes the story in 80s Verdansk but is also likely to have major impacts on the coming months in the game. For after the start of Season 6, Verdansk will probably never be the same as we know it:
6 Things the New Trailer Reveals – Release, Story, Vanguard
The Release of Season 6 is confirmed: The new trailer shows the exact start date of Season 6 – Thursday, October 7. This was also the previously suspected date, as the Battle Pass for Season 5 ends on this day. Season 6 likely starts at 6 AM our time.
Verdansk takes a full hit: As already hinted in the story of Modern Warfare and the teaser for the new Warzone map, Verdansk will be destroyed as part of Season 6. The trailer suggests that the entire downtown area, viewed from the stadium towards the south, will be destroyed.
Viewers are keen on the destruction: The trailer is well received by viewers. Almost 12 hours after its release, more than 170,000 users had already clicked on the trailer on YouTube, and 16,390 gave it a thumbs up. In contrast, there are only 393 thumbs down.
The poster-boy of Season 6 is Mason: It was not so certain that Alex Mason would come as a playable operator for Cold War and Warzone. The story events of the seasons take place quite a while after those in the campaign, and Mason was supposed to raise his son in Alaska before being reactivated for the campaign of Black Ops II.
But after the trailer, it is clear that Mason will come into play with Season 6, and you will likely unlock the legendary operator through the Battle Pass. This would be the first “good” story character to appear in the course of the Cold War season as a showcase operator. Until now, it has always been nasty henchmen of the villain “Perseus,” who pulls the strings behind the scenes.
Possible connection to Vanguard: The trailer begins with a scene in a German World War bunker. The Nazis apparently conquered the area around the fictional state of “Kastovia” and built facilities. More than this small hint about the World War setting of the new CoDs cannot be found so far.
The “Black Ops” team is reunited: The probably best scene for fans of the CoD series is the heroic advance of the 4 operators from Black Ops. The new companion Adler, who only joined the team with Cold War, is not necessarily a fan favorite yet. But seeing Mason, Hudson, and Woods together running through Verdansk was indeed a special moment.
Cold War is entering its last season, and Warzone wants to say goodbye to Verdansk with a bang – in every sense of the word. It is still too early to say how significant the map changes will be. But at first glance, the destruction looks massive, and the last weeks in Verdansk are likely to look somewhat different.
We also look forward to hearing your opinion on the trailer. Is it time for Verdansk to disappear? Or would you have preferred regular adjustments to keep the map fresh?
Genshin Impact turned one year old on September 28. Correspondingly, the community is giving poor ratings in the Google Play Store and is spamming just one sticker everywhere. MeinMMO reports to you what exactly is going on.
Happy Birthday, Genshin Impact! However, the birthday wasn’t very “happy,” as the community is completely disappointed. Many were still hoping for a special announcement or surprise from Genshin Impact, in addition to the rewards and events they had previously teased.
Genshin Impact remained silent about additional rewards. Instead, they released a promotional video that was immediately bombarded with 43,000 dislikes:

Google Play Store ratings dropped from 4.6 to 1.9 stars
What did the community do? For days, new angry posts have been made on social media, and now the community has started giving poor ratings in the Google Play Store. They want Genshin Impact to see how unhappy the fans are.
In Germany, the Google Play Store rating fell for a while from 4.6 to 1.9 stars. Meanwhile, some fans are trying to raise the ratings again because they find the reactions childish. Currently, the rating stands at 2.4 stars.
Additionally, reviewers report that 1-star ratings are being deleted.
1.9 star rating on September 28 at 9:16 PM.
2.4 star rating on September 29 at 9:58 AM.
Twitter user Ezeiko even posted a picture showing that the ratings dropped from 4.5 to 0.6 stars (via Twitter).
Also, the “Genshin Impact” streamer Enviosity addressed the Google Play Store reviews with his community. He humorously emphasized that ultimately everyone would return when the first important banner reruns featuring Ganyu and Hu Tao came (via YouTube).
What is the community writing in the reviews? The community mentions a past event in Liyue, where there were exactly the same login rewards as for the first birthday. Therefore, they are convinced that Genshin Impact is not making an effort and does not care about the anniversary.
The spelling has been adjusted in parts to make the comments more readable, but the content has not been changed.
Link321 writes in the Play Store:
@Genshin Impact: I have been playing Genshin for 1 year now. I really love the game (AR57), but see many complaints regarding the anniversary and all the crap you are doing. And the anniversary reward is really a joke! Sorry, many wished for a free 5* character. No matter which one and 3K Primogems – that’s really a reward. But 1x 10 pull? Your rating has really dropped “4.6-1.9”. Today – ON THE ANNIVERSARY DAY – please do something about it! 5* rating is SAFE.
It is not about the amount of the reward, but about the lack of effort. What kind of anniversary is this? It is not even celebrated. No new content, no special banner, not even a little effort. A classic login event that was completed within 10 minutes. The web story was pretty cool, but that is not very time-consuming either. And the concerns that nothing would come had already been there a month ago. Simply weak.
Flawed, expensive characters, rewards of any kind – ridiculous for a game that makes millions, even billions. No support, my 1 whale account AR55 got hacked, no reaction from support or Mihoyo. I started playing from scratch because I love the game. I started my 2nd account, I am now AR56, but now this anniversary is a slap in the face… this is not how you treat your players… enjoy the money you have made – thanks TO US…
Qiqi sticker spam in the public Genshin Impact Discord
Who is Qiqi? Qiqi is a character from Genshin Impact who has a sticker in the game and Discord. The sticker features an expression of “oh great,” “uff,” or just “…”, implying silence.
This is what the public Discord of Genshin Impact looks like right now: In every chat in the “Teyvat” category, the one Qiqi sticker is currently being spammed. Occasionally, there is one or another message expressing criticism of the game or those spamming the sticker – nothing else.
The Discord users are only spamming one sticker in many chats.
The community is determined to show Genshin Impact that they are dissatisfied with the handling of the first anniversary. However, whether this will make any difference remains questionable. So far, Genshin Impact has not commented on this.
What do you think about the reaction? Do you find it understandable or are you satisfied with the rewards and events available since September 28? Feel free to write it in the comments.
“FIFA 22 Ultimate Team is Pay2Win,” many say. However, the Hamburg streamer Trymacs now impressively shows: Even the best team in the world can lose on the pitch. It comes down to the better skills.
The Twitch star Trymacs is pulling card packs in FIFA 22 like a world champion. Already in one of his first rounds of pack opening, he pulled R9 Ronaldo – one of the best players in the Ultimate Team mode. Just a few packs later, he even got Cristiano Ronaldo and many other strong players.
On paper, Trymacs actually has the best team in the world. However, on the freshly mowed digital pitch, things look different. Although the streamer won round after round against his colleague Rumathra, against another opponent, his hammer team couldn’t come out on top.
Luck in drawing, bad luck in the game: Trymacs loses despite super team against MontanaBlack
MontanaBlack versus Trymacs, who would probably win? Most would bet on Trymacs, who, in addition to his relatively high skill level (via YouTube.com), also boasts the literally best FUT team in the world.
Accordingly motivated and confident of victory, Trymacs entered the six-round match. And behold: Trymacs won – at least twice. In the remaining rounds, MontanaBlack wiped the floor of the locker room with Trymacs’ top players.
Here are the match results:
Round 1 – 3:2 for MontanaBlack
Round 2 – 2:1 for MontanaBlack
Round 3 – 2:0 for Trymacs
Round 4 – 4:1 for Trymacs
Round 5 – 2:1 for MontanaBlack
Round 6 – 1:0 for MontanaBlack
However, this defeat did not sit well with Trymacs, and the two streamers have already agreed to a live rematch. Who wins then, you are welcome to discuss in the comments.
It’s clear: Anyone who wants to spend money on card packs in FIFA 22 has no barriers. Perhaps the mockery and ridicule from supposedly real core gamers, who look down on sports game players. Or all those who reject the FUT system along with real money purchases.
The case of Trymacs against MontanaBlack shows, however: You don’t have to pump enormous amounts of real money into FIFA Ultimate Team to have a chance. Much more it comes down to the skill of the person behind the keyboard or the controller, despite top players.
What do you think? Do good or bad player cards in FIFA Ultimate Team determine victory and defeat, or does it only depend on the player behind the team who wins? Share your opinion with us in the comments.

Manchester City player Benjamin Mendy has been removed from FIFA 22 following serious allegations. However, some of his cards are still available on the transfer market – and are getting more expensive.
These are the allegations against the player: Defender Benjamin Mendy is accused of four counts of rape and another sexual assault. According to the latest information, a court trial is scheduled for January 24, 2022, with a further hearing set for November (via Sportschau).
Mendy has already been suspended by his club Manchester City last August. He has now also been removed from FIFA 22 by EA Sports. In a statement to Eurogamer, EA said: “Since Benjamin Mendy has been removed from the active squad of both Manchester City and the French national team, he has also been removed from the respective squad in FIFA 22 and banned from FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) packs and Ultimate Draft while he awaits his trial” (via Eurogamer).
Individual cards in FUT still available on the market
This is what happens to the player card in FIFA 22: In fact, Mendy is no longer found in the kickoff mode, now just days before the release of FIFA 22. However, he still appears in Ultimate Team at times. Because: Mendy’s removal from the packs only took place the day after the start of Early Access.
Accordingly, some players were still able to pull the defender from packs. Since already acquired cards have not been removed from the game, he can still be offered on the transfer market. And it is noticeable: The card has even become more expensive.
Mendy is being offered overpriced. Bids can be found at around 3,000 coins.
Looking at Mendy’s price development on the portal futbin, it can be seen that he initially cost around 600 to 800 coins on the FUT transfer market. Then the prices started to rise. Currently, Mendy is about 3,500 coins on futbin, and even more expensive versions can be found on the transfer market.
This means he is currently noticeably more expensive than other regular gold cards with comparable stats. These are generally in the range of 700 to 1,000 coins.
Has this ever happened before? There have been instances in the past where players have been removed from FIFA due to real-life incidents. For example, Marco van Basten was removed from the game after a scandal in FIFA 20, which led to a spike in his price.
Back then, EA reacted by lowering the player’s price range to the point where selling was no longer “worth it”. However, the card of Adalberto Panaranda, who had a similar last name and apparently was confused by some players, then increased in value.

A new item has taken hold in Fortnite and players are using it extensively. It is about the armored walls. We at MeinMMO show you a trick on how to crack the pesky walls.
What is new? In Chapter 2 Season 8, the armored wall was now added to the item pool. This armored wall can be applied to any self-built wall, just like a trap. Upgrading your wall to an armored wall creates an impenetrable and sturdy cover.
However, you cannot edit them, which means: if you build yourself in with armored walls, you are forced to tear down the wall. In the heat of battle, knocking down a wall with 2,500 health points can quickly seal your fate.
Player gets slowly roasted in the safe armored cube
In combat situations, unusual situations arise from time to time.
What happened? Two players faced each other in a 1 vs. 1. Since one player was possibly at a disadvantage, he built a safe refuge with the new armored walls.
After the player had built himself in, the other one considered how to break through this “bunker”. After refreshing his health and shield, the excluded player had a cunning idea.

What did the player do? The Galaxy skin looked around in his environment to see if something useful was lying on the ground to crack this refuge. Shortly, the player decided to use a gasoline canister to help.
With the detonation of the canister, fire spread across the ground, making its way into the other player’s shelter. As a result, the player in the shelter did not have enough time to free himself and died painfully from burn damage.
How can you counter well? Ultimately, you should be clear that this wall is hard to break through. However, if someone builds up high and then barricades himself, you should consider tearing down the building. This will destroy the entire structure, including the armored walls, and your opponent will break their neck.
Furthermore, you can make your environment your ally. Enemies who have built in near sharks can be alerted to the armored cube by provoking them. With a targeted jump from the shark, it breaks through the enemy’s cover and takes your opponent to the virtual afterlife.
Definitely, this new creation from “Epic Games” is a useful item that you can use to your advantage.
What do you think of the new invention? Have you built yourself in with it and perhaps sealed your own fate? Let us know in the comments what you think.

On September 28 at 8:00 AM, the servers of New World finally went online. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch was right in the middle of it and stood in queues for hours. He expected problems, but the way the queues were set up frustrated and angered him.
How did the release of New World go? The launch by Amazon went well for some, terribly for others, as you can read in our live ticker.
Those who managed to get onto one of the few EU servers directly at 8:00 AM probably experienced an interesting and perhaps even very fun release. Because the servers were very stable.
Only between 10:20 AM and 10:45 AM was there maintenance on almost all servers. Individual servers also had crashes, but spots were reserved for players who were already logged in. This allowed them to bypass the queues without any issues.
However, those who were not so lucky stood in queues. And sometimes for 10 hours or longer. Because Amazon only allowed a certain number of players on each server. And that extremely frustrated me.
Who is writing here? Alexander Leitsch is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO. He has witnessed the launch of games like Aion, Guild Wars 2, ArcheAge, or Black Desert and has sunk thousands of hours into these titles. But he has never been as frustrated as with New World.
Some players had the day of their lives, others just stared at queues
What was and is the problem with New World? When a new MMORPG is released, everyone expects server crashes or queues. This is completely normal, and that is exactly what I expected with New World. I fully assumed that I would play for only a few hours – if at all.
But Amazon uses a rather atypical system for their servers.
While most online games artificially create the queue so that not too many players flood into the starting areas at once and crash the servers, the servers of New World were actually full. Those in the queue had to wait until a player truly left the server.
Although there is no exact player number per server, it is estimated that there are around 2,000 players per server based on company sizes. Thus, the 63 EU servers at launch only offered space for about 126,000 players.
Given the fact that over 250,000 players were already online early in the morning, the long queues were almost pre-programmed. It was also to be expected that players who were early on a server would not leave it the entire day.
There were queues of at least 2,000 players on almost all servers. At its peak, over 15,000 waited for a spot on the German “Server Utgard”.
“I was jealous of those who could already play”
What frustrated me so much? Basically, it was two things:
On the other hand, I could watch and listen to streamers and friends having the day of their lives in New World. At the same time, I had NO CHANCE to ever enter one of the servers. Because to get access at queue position 5,000, all 5,000 players before me would have had to log off.
Players who were online once could essentially play all day without major downtime or issues. That felt worse to me than if the servers had been offline all day.
Feel free to call it jealousy at this point, because that’s all it was. I was and am jealous of those who could play. They could finally experience the MMO I have been waiting for years and that I enjoyed so much during the beta. But that joy was denied to me.
I also heard a lot of anger from some colleagues who even planned to control a settlement with their company. The server was actually irrelevant to them, but they couldn’t play together anywhere. If they start together now, all settlements on all servers will already be taken.
In the end, the servers also led to New World receiving poor reviews on Steam:
Did it have to go this way? Basically, I don’t want to blame Amazon because a surge as immense as the one New World experienced at launch is hard to handle.
I expected problems and downtime, but not that some could play all day while over half of the interested players were stuck in a queue all day.
I would have liked to see more open communication from the developers to be really prepared for this. Amazon could have:
Already explained their plans at launch, including regarding new server openings
Immediately clarified the cap so players wouldn’t get in line for position 10,000 in queue
Announced the now announced free server transfers before launch. So players could have queued on small servers and then switched to the large servers later. Also, the “subsequent increase of server capacity” is important information that came much too late.
These three aspects would have made my launch much more pleasant, although a bit of jealousy would probably still have remained.
What else is there to criticize? I would have liked more servers right at launch. The hype surrounding New World was widely known. I myself reported on MeinMMO that due to this hype, Lost Ark would have been overshadowed by New World.
Of course, behind the decision of how many servers to launch with are many technical aspects we have no insight into and that are difficult to criticize. But Amazon took too long with statements about queues and new servers, which also led to frustration.
From my perspective, Amazon also could have spared themselves some trouble by not making the naming globally available. This led to players from other regions creating characters in Europe at launch just to secure their names.
How is New World itself? Since then, I have managed to play New World for several hours last night and this morning. And I am still convinced of the MMO. The entry was successful, and the first endgame is present. Much also depends on how Amazon delivers additional content after the release.
The criticism in this article is therefore not directed against the game itself, but against the way the servers functioned at launch.
If you want to get an overview of why New World is a suitable game, you can find our quick check here:
Riot Games has given a first look at which 2 new champions will be coming to League of Legends in 2022. A marksman and a supporter are planned. The hints are still cryptic – it is speculated they might fit with the new Netflix series.
This is the situation:
LoL has a sophisticated system for introducing new champions. Initially, only vague hints about the direction the heroes will take are given. Just before the release, Riot Games always publishes more concrete hints, trailers, and ultimately the exact presentation with skills.
The first new champion, a marksman, is planned for “early 2022.” The second, a supporter, for “a few patches later.”
The 2 new champions were originally supposed to appear at an event in 2021. However, Riot realized that they did not fit well with the event and has now scheduled them for 2022 – players are speculating that a previously planned event could be related to the Netflix series “Arcane.”
This is what Riot Games says about the first champion: The first new champ has many allusions to a hero that charges with lightning. This is about a kinetic marksman who is always in motion, pulsing with “sparkling conviction.” He plays “the game” at the speed of a machine gun.
Riot Games states that they want to vary the idea of how “auto-attacks” function in LoL with this character. Apparently, for this hero, auto-attacks will take on a special function, similar to Graves, Xayah, or Jhin.
Riot Games says they want to completely turn around the “actual idea” of what auto-attacks mean with him.
The hero is expected to appear “very early in 2022.”
This image was published with the new marksman.
This is what Riot says about the 2nd new champ in LoL: It is apparently a supporter who focuses heavily on the themes of “money, technology, and power.” Riot states: “You can buy anything if you have enough cash.”
There are hints that the new hero can bribe his opponents to attack each other. The supporter apparently can also send people to their death.
The new supporter in LoL is said to be someone who makes calls from the background about how things are going.
The new hero is expected to come “a few patches after the marksman” in 2022.
This image was published with the new supporter.
This is being discussed: On reddit, people immediately have ideas about what the heroes could be like and what role they might take later in LoL. One user believes the marksman could use a kind of “taser” to connect with the opponent and constantly deal damage, but he would need to chase them. This would be a champion without much burst damage, but with a lot of “sustained damage.”
For the supporter, there is a belief he could perhaps use the opposing champions or minions against their own allies and force them into specific actions. The new supporter is being compared to the champ “Winter Wyvern” in DOTA 2.
It is speculated that the new characters could originate from “Piltover” and thereby create a parallel to the new LoL Netflix series Arcane.
The latest heroine in LoL, Vex, was just released a few days ago and was reportedly too strong:
One way to get monsters in Pokémon GO is by hatching eggs. However, a trainer has now reported a bug that left him terribly disappointed in the end. We at MeinMMO took a look at what happened and will show you.
What is it about? To catch monsters in Pokémon GO, you have various options. They spawn in the wild, you find them in raids, or you get them through rewards. Another way is to hatch eggs. Which Pokémon you can find in the respective eggs is summarized here for you.
To hatch them, you need to put them in an incubator and walk the required distance. However, you do not know in advance which monster will come out of the egg, and it usually remains a surprise.
However, this was different for the trainer Azazicc, who reported a game bug in the egg overview on reddit. He was already shown his egg reward before hatching, which ultimately led to a nasty disappointment. We will show you why.
From top attacker to a dud
This is what the bug looked like: As trainer Azazicc shows in his reddit post, he wanted to put a 10 km egg in the incubator. Unlike usual, he was not only shown the corresponding egg. A bug in the game caused his supposed egg reward to be displayed to him in advance. Accordingly, he saw a Flampion, which was supposed to hatch from this 10 km egg.

At the time he created his post, Azazicc still believed he would receive Flampion and wrote: “I think I know what I’m gonna hatch from this egg.” He also explains in the comments that although he is not familiar with the game’s coding, it seems logical to him that Flampion is hiding behind the egg (via reddit.com).
The reddit community is also eagerly following along and asks for an update on whether Flampion really hatched from the egg. Adudewhosadudeforfun writes: “Please keep me updated on what it is. It would be really amazing if it were a Flampion.” (via reddit.com).
It’s not surprising that the community is so excited about this monster, as Flampion can evolve into Flampivian, which is among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. However, the joy of the post creator was short-lived and eventually resulted in bitter disappointment.
This is what hatched from the egg: As he has now announced, instead of the hoped-for Flampion, only an Ohrdoch hatched from the egg. This led to a nasty disappointment for Azazicc and other trainers in the reddit community. 20rzaugg summarizes the situation with the words “Damn bug” (via reddit.com).
This reaction is also not surprising. Compared to Flampion, Ohrdoch is rather a weak Pokémon and thus mainly suitable for the Pokédex. Azazicc can only hope to have better luck with hatching next time.
What are your experiences with hatching eggs? Do you usually get the weaker Pokémon? And have you ever encountered the game bug where a monster was displayed to you before hatching? If so, what came out? Feel free to share your thoughts here on MeinMMO in the comments.
Now Amazon has introduced the Astro, a robot with the functions of Alexa. And the robot looks really cute and could convince many users right away.
However, you should not trust it more than necessary, as behind its cute face lies a watchdog.
The robot looks totally cute but is a nasty watchdog without teeth
The first impression is quite adorable, as its appearance is very friendly. Its winking face and funny beeping sounds make it a sympathetic everyday companion.
What can the robot actually do? The Astro offers you all the functions you might know from the Amazon Echo tablet. You can:
set reminders,
play music
or make calls
If you already own a device with Alexa, the functionality of Astro shouldn’t surprise you much. Except that Alexa can now roll around your home.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Additionally, it functions as a kind of guard robot. It watches the house when you are not there and reports activities. It can also connect with your security cameras.
With the new subscription “Alexa Together”, it should also be possible to support family members in need of care from a distance. “Alexa Together” works like the previous Care Hub and is expected to cost $19.99 per month.

The official Amazon video for the new Amazon Astro.
Astro observes all your actions
The robot uses a visual ID that allows it to distinguish all members of your household and responds, according to Amazon, to unauthorized actions.
That’s why you shouldn’t trust the robot: If Alexa felt untrustworthy to you before, then a robot with Alexa that constantly follows you might be even less convincing.
Imagine you just want to grab a beer from the fridge and you get ambushed by the robot because you violated the drinking ban or because you wanted to get your favorite snack for gaming.
Additionally, it is likely that all data is synchronized with Amazon servers, and we do not yet know which data will ultimately be transmitted. Even if the robot looks so cute, you should consider how much privacy you really want to share with the device. Otherwise, Amazon’s privacy policy in Europe still applies, which you can access directly at Amazon (via amazon.de)
Moreover, Astro can continuously track you everywhere and flood you with calls, messages, or reminders – even when you might want some peace and want to leave your electronic “companion” outside the door.
The robot is only available in the USA at the beginning
How much does Amazon Astro cost? The price starts at $999. After a “launch phase,” the price is expected to rise to $1,450.
Anyone who wants to get the robot must be strong, as the robot is currently only available in the USA. Amazon states on the official product page: “Please note that this product can only be shipped to addresses in the 50 US states.”
When the robot will come to Germany is still unknown. However, all Alexa devices have previously arrived in Europe with a slight delay.
New World has been released and thousands of players want to play it. However, many of them are anything but satisfied and vent their frustration through negative Steam reviews of the game. But what are the reasons for this? Find out here on MeinMMO.
What are the reviews of New World? Amazon’s new MMORPG New World has recently launched and has mobilized a huge number of players. Even now, thousands of reviews for the game can be found on Steam. However, these are anything but positive. Rather, of the current 19,672 reviews (as of September 29, 2021), 49 percent are clearly negative.
This is mainly due to a problem that surely no one could foresee.

Players blame the servers
What are the reasons for the poor reviews? If you look at the negative reviews from players, one overwhelming theme clearly dominates: the inadequate server capacity!
Because at the launch on September 28, 2021 nothing worked for many players for hours and they were stuck in various queues for a long time. The frustration of players can be represented in this German Steam review:
I was really looking forward to the game. I understand that there can be bottlenecks at release and that not everything runs at 100% yet.
But when a world company like Amazon can’t manage to deliver a somewhat stable launch for European players / primarily players living in Germany, considering pre-sale numbers / experience from the beta / experience from other releases, then I’m out of ideas.
Some servers already had a queue of 10,000 players at the start = 80h waiting time.
How is the situation developing? The poor server capacity frustrates fans, especially since the developers actually knew about these problems after the betas and wanted to improve these issues before the launch.
However, the developers are at least planning a prompt solution. Because according to Amazon, soon players will be able to freely choose their servers again and transfer their characters to the realms of their choice. This should distribute players more effectively in the coming days and hopefully smooth things over.
What is your opinion on the launch of New World? Is such chaos just normal for MMORPG releases or could Amazon have handled it more effectively? Let us know in the comments.

There is news regarding character transfers in the new MMO New World. As the game is currently struggling with full servers, the developers are offering you to switch servers for free. This offer will be active soon so that you can play right now.
This is the situation of the New World servers: On September 28, the new MMO New World was released. A large influx of hundreds of thousands of players set off towards Aeternum, the game world. However, servers quickly reached their limits leading to long queues.
Players are now faced with the dilemma: Should I wait for hours until a spot frees up on the server where my friends/streamers are playing, or should I take an empty server and start right away? The New World team is making this decision a bit easier for you now.
Character Transfer – Soon switch servers for free in New World
What does the team say? Through social channels like Twitter, the New World team shares a message to the community. They explain that the first 24 hours after release were “incredible” and thank players for their support.
They also mention in the message the “very long wait times.” Therefore, they plan to open more new servers and expand the capacity of existing servers. This is related to tests that need to be carried out first. You can find a list of all available servers in New World here.
Our current focus is on ensuring everyone can log in and play – at the same time, we also want to ensure that everyone finds a long-term home in Aeternum.
Therefore, we will provide all players with a free character transfer in the next two weeks.
We thank you for your patience and support as the New World community grows and encourage you to solidify your long-term server plans together with your community.
At some point in the next two weeks, there will be a free server switch for you. You can now start on whichever server you want and then switch to your friends’ server when the queues calm down a bit.
Queues exist not only at login but also, curiously, in the game itself:
Is this only for new servers? In the original English announcement, there was mention of character transfers to “new” servers. Amazon then clarified on Twitter that you can transfer your character to any server that is available at that moment (via Twitter.com).
What about a region switch? In the New World forum, a player asked whether it is possible to switch regions with the free character transfer. According to a member of the New World customer support, this is not possible (via forums.newworld.com).
“We do not have a system for region transfers. You can play in any region, but you have to start over with a new character,” explains Camulos from customer support.
How do you feel about the offer from New World? Will you first go to a server with low player numbers and start there, only to use a character transfer in the coming weeks, or do you prefer to play on your chosen server from the beginning, even if it means waiting in a long queue?
In CoD: Warzone a player managed to win thanks to a really sneaky trick. But he admits that he is actually ashamed of it. How to still gain an advantage in a specific situation with the ‘Wheat Hack’ can be found here on MeinMMO.
The situation was as follows: The reddit user and Warzone player AntiUnicorn was in a solo match and made it to the final circle. The fight was supposed to end between Superstore and Storage Town at the wheat field.
He knew that his last opponents were nearby and used a simple and cheeky trick: he employed the ping function in the rough direction of the enemies, and as soon as he hit an opponent, they were briefly marked by the ping.
This way he could precisely identify the enemy’s position without putting himself in danger and take out the last enemies carefully. In the end, he secured the victory in this cheeky way. ‘Not a win I’m proud of, but it’s still a win!’
How to rock the wheat field with the ‘Wheat Hack’
Why the trick is unfair: The ping function is actually intended to mark enemies, items, and locations for teammates. The feature was introduced widely in Apex Legends and has since been found in almost every battle royale.

A marked opponent is indicated in Warzone for a short time after the ping with an icon. This is not a problem in itself, but in situations where terrain creates a visibility modifier, a marked opponent clearly has a disadvantage.
Because while the opponent – like in AntiUnicorn’s example – cannot see you in the wheat field, you can reveal the opponent despite the lack of visibility by wildly pinging.
The ping marker in the wheat field is thus something like a wall hack or ‘Wheat Hack’.
This is how the victory is rated: The comments under the reddit video from AntiUnicorn are mostly positive. The community largely sees nothing reprehensible about it. After all, one is in a battle royale game to secure wins and if you don’t cheat, that’s still okay.
The use of the ping is a regular game mechanic, and its use is perfectly fine. Furthermore, the situation is very specific and not reproducible in every end fight.
The new survivor in Dead by Daylight is known. She can cast spells because she is a real, modern witch!
The last chapter of Dead by Daylight was a bit lackluster. This is because it only included the new killer Pinhead, but no new survivor. Now the developers are following up and announcing the small chapter “The Hour of the Witch.” The content: A new survivor who is a real witch! We will reveal what Mikaela Reid can do.
What can Mikaela Reid do? Like all survivors, Mikaela Reid comes with 3 of her own perks. She is the first survivor who can create what are called “Boon Totems.” With this, she turns inactive or active totems into positive buffs for the survivors nearby. As usual, the perks can initially only be played on Mikaela, but you can unlock them for all other survivors via the Bloodweb. In detail, they are:
Clairvoyance: The ability activates whenever the survivor cleanses a totem. If the survivor holds no item in hand, Clairvoyance can be used with the “Active Ability Button” to see all exit gates, generators, hooks, and chests within a 64-meter radius for up to 8 / 9 / 10 seconds.
Boon: Circle of Healing: The survivor can bless a dull totem (Dull Totem) or a hex totem (Hex Totem) to turn it into a blessing totem. Quiet sounds can be heard within a radius of 28 meters. Survivors within a radius of 28 meters receive a bonus of 90 % / 95 % / 100 % on the healing speed. Survivors within the radius of the totem can heal themselves even without a med-kit. Only one totem can be turned into a blessing totem at a time per survivor. This totem encompasses all blessing perks of the survivor.
Boon: Shadow Step: The survivor can bless a dull totem (Dull Totem) or a hex totem (Hex Totem) to turn it into a blessing totem. Quiet sounds can be heard within a radius of 28 meters. Survivors within the radius leave no scratch marks, and their aura is never revealed. When a survivor leaves the radius, the effect lasts for another 2 / 3 / 4 seconds. Only one totem can be turned into a blessing totem at a time per survivor. This totem encompasses all blessing perks of the survivor.
Please note that these perks are still information from the PTR. The perks may change before the release.

What is the story of Mikaela Reid? Mikaela is a “modern” witch who has always been interested in horror stories and loved telling them. Over the years, she read people’s futures, created her own soaps and ointments from herbs, and built her livelihood this way.
At a large Halloween festival, she was supposed to present her spooky story. But while she was writing this story, she was already plagued by nightmares – of spider-like claws and a creature dragging her down a basement stairs before a sharp hook pierced through her chest.
On the day of the big story, she ends her work by pointing to the sky and declaring that no darkness is truly superior to the light. The audience thought the fog that then engulfed her was a magic trick – but Mikaela was never seen again.
More news on Dead by Daylight can be found here on MeinMMO:
When will the survivor be released? There is currently no specific release date for Mikaela Reid. However, since her entire theme revolves around witches and thus also Halloween, a release around mid or late October is quite likely. Presumably, October 19 is targeted as the release date.
Several survivors will surely change their main character.
What do you think of Mikaela Reid, her design, and her abilities?

Friday, October 1, 2021, sees the release of FIFA 22. The football game is the latest entry in the long series of FIFA titles and is set to bring a few innovations. MeinMMO takes a look at the game and shows who it is interesting for.
What is FIFA 22? FIFA 22 is the current football simulation from EA Sports. As usual from previous years, the game is released in fall and brings a variety of licenses. Real clubs from the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga, the 3rd league, the Premier League, and many other leagues are represented in the game.
There are many different modes to play: You can manage your own club in career mode, play street football in Volta, or team up with friends in Pro Clubs.
Additionally, there is the Ultimate Team mode, which is updated throughout the year with new content and where you try to build a strong team using various player cards.
When does FIFA 22 come out? The official release of FIFA 22 is on October 1, 2021. Prior to that, it was possible to secure early access with EA Play Early Access or by pre-ordering the Ultimate Edition. The standard version will start on October 1.
FIFA 22 will be released in various versions.
All innovations can be found in the version for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Stadia.
PC and older console generations will have to do without some of the new features, such as “Hypermotion”.
Additionally, there is a stripped-down, but cheaper “Legacy Edition” for Nintendo Switch. This primarily updates things like jerseys or rosters but remains at the gameplay level of two generations ago.
Checklist – Should I play FIFA 22?
For a quick overview, we have included a short checklist for you. We have prepared 10 statements, and if you answer at least 7 of them with “yes,” you can safely pick up FIFA 22. More detailed information about FIFA 22 can be found further down in the text.
I am a football fan and want to play with my favorite players and clubs.
I am looking for a game that is fun to play against friends on the couch.
I don’t need a story; I’m looking for a game to play in between.
I enjoy every game in the FIFA series and want new content in Ultimate Team.
I enjoy building a team and searching for better players.
I have taken a long break from the FIFA series and want to get back in.
I’m looking for a sports game that is also fun to play alone.
I want to play online against other players and improve.
I have only played FIFA on older systems and want to try the new versions for PS5 or Xbox Series X | S.
I am looking for an alternative to Pro Evolution Soccer.
FIFA 22 – What’s new in the game?
Why should I check out FIFA 22? 22 players chase a ball and try to score more goals than the opponent. If you can’t relate to this principle at all, FIFA 22 is not for you.
However, if you are a football fan, FIFA 22 can convince with several points. One is the large package of licenses, which currently no other game offers. From Bayern Munich to TSV Havelse, clubs from the three major German leagues are included. Most of the other clubs from around the world are also present. Only fans of the Italian league have to make some compromises now.
On the other hand, FIFA 22 impresses on NextGen consoles thanks to HyperMotion with overhauled gameplay and realistic animations created based on motion capturing. This is the big innovation in FIFA 22 and is definitely noticeable – however, Hypermotion is missing on older consoles and PC.
Otherwise, the gameplay offers significantly improved goalkeepers, new ball physics, and improved AI. You can learn more about this in the PS5 review of FIFA 22.
In Ultimate Team there are new legends like Rooney
These modes are available: Both alone and together, FIFA can be fun. Offline you can let loose in career mode, which this year offers the option to create your own club. Here you have free rein in terms of stadium, club crest, jerseys, and more. Additionally, the player career has been improved with a new skills system.
Furthermore, the Volta mode has been revamped and now brings some fun mini-games as well as new elements like special abilities. Those who enjoyed FIFA Street in the past will recognize some aspects here. Especially this mode can be fun online in FIFA 22 with friends.
Otherwise, Ultimate Team (FUT) is the first stop. There you try to build your personal top team using card packs and defeat online opponents. In FUT, you can also engage in trading on the transfer market or crafting squad building challenges. This year there is a new progress system and probably more new events and content as well.
The problem with Ultimate Team remains that due to the pack mechanics, you get a gameplay advantage if you invest additional money. If you want to play Ultimate Team competitively without investing money, you will probably need to compensate with a lot of time – unless you get very lucky and quickly draw strong players from packs.
However, if you are more relaxed about it and not necessarily aiming to play against the elite in the highest divisions, you can also progress well in FUT without spending money or making huge time investments.
Finally, there is the Pro Clubs mode. Here you can play matches with up to 11 vs. 11 players. For the first time, it is possible to set up male and female pros together. Additionally, there are more customization options; here, you can also customize the stadium, jerseys, goal songs, and more.
FIFA 22 – How worthwhile is it for newcomers and returners?
What it looks like for newcomers: Anyone picking up FIFA for the first time (or after a long break) will find a realistic football game that scores with many names from real football. Additionally, there is a large package of modes in which you can indulge virtually. Career, Volta, FUT, and Pro Clubs – all these modes have something to offer and are fun.
What it looks like for returners: Those who played FIFA 21 will quickly recognize a lot in FIFA 22 as well. FIFA 22 improves many details but doesn’t reinvent the wheel. The truly fresh elements are the “Create-a-Club” feature in career mode and the new gameplay variations in Volta.
Additionally, there is a new season in FUT with a new rewards and competition system, as well as improved gameplay. This is particularly notable in the NextGen version thanks to gameplay improvements. If you haven’t experienced the PS5 or Xbox Series X version from last year, the leap is definitely noticeable.
Who should not play it?
Players are wrong with FIFA 22 if they have no interest in football.
If you expect a completely new gaming experience compared to FIFA 21, you might be disappointed. There are no completely new modes as of now in FIFA 22.
If you want to try “HyperMotion” on PC or old consoles, this innovation is not available there.
If you want to play crossplay against friends on different platforms. This is not possible in FIFA 22.
If you don’t play FIFA online but only in career mode and expect more than the “Create-a-Club” feature? Then you can continue playing FIFA 21.
If you want to play competitively online, but the Ultimate Team system does not appeal to you. A large part of the new content that comes throughout a season lands there.
Diablo 2: Resurrected is divided into different acts where you can complete quests. In the first act, there are 6 quests, with the penultimate being “The Right Tool” – eng. “Tools of the Trade.” MeinMMO reveals how to solve it and what to pay attention to.
What kind of quest is this? “The Right Tool” is the fifth quest in Act 1 of Diablo 2. It leads you further to the end of the act and is necessary for completion. During the quest, you will encounter one of the first tougher enemies, the Smith.
You start the quest when you speak to Charsi in the Hunter’s camp at level 8 or enter the Tamoe Highlands. However, you must have rescued Deckard Cain as part of the quest “The Search for Cain” beforehand.
For the quest, you are to find the Horadric Malus, an enchanted smithing hammer left behind by the smith Charsi in the monastery. As a reward, you may receive an item upgrade that allows you to obtain particularly valuable items.
You must complete the quest in order to subsequently receive the quest “Sisters to the Slaughter,” where you defeat the first boss of Diablo 2: Andariel.
At Charsi, you start and finish the quest.
Finding the Horadric Malus in the Barracks
Here you can find the Malus: The Barracks is part of the renegade monastery, which you can find behind the Black Marsh. Cross the marsh and look for the large monastery, which you can enter through the gate at the entrance.
There you will find the teleporter to the “Outer Monastery” and from there the passage to the Barracks through a door. No map change occurs. In the Barracks, you will have to fight through some Huntresses and skeletons.
Search the building for the smithy and do not enter the prison, which also has an entrance in the Barracks. The smithy is a distinct, unnamed location. You know you are in the right place when you find a large demon with a special name: the Smith.
The Smith is a so-called “super unique” that always appears there. Defeat him or lure him away and interact with the weapon rack next to the forge. The Malus will fall to the ground and you can pick it up.
The Smith stands between you and the Malus (found on the marked rack).
This is how you defeat the Smith: The Smith is one of the first minibosses in the game and is considered one of the first hurdles. He and his minions deal up to 2.5 times as much physical damage as normal enemies, so good armor will help you. Tips for the fight include:
use frost effects to slow the Smith
fight at a distance, if possible
equip your mercenary with a bow that has frost effects if you can’t do it yourself
With sufficient damage output, you should not have major problems. Be cautious, especially in hardcore mode, so that one of his attacks does not catch you off guard. Alternatively, you can let the Smith be and just take the Malus.
Afterward, bring the hammer back to Charsi and claim your reward.
Free Item Upgrade and Battle Against Andariel
This is how you upgrade an item: After completing the quest, Charsi offers to upgrade an item for you. This only works with non-magical items, which will then be improved – for free. However, keep in mind that this can only be done once per difficulty.
So it’s best to save the option until you have found better items later in the game, such as from Act 5. Travel back and speak to Charsi only then.
Particularly popular are Stealth upgrades because these items can have strong attributes. However, you can choose any non-magic item for the upgrade.
This is how you defeat Andariel: After the Malus is back in Charsi’s hands, Deckard Cain sends you on the hunt for Andariel. You can find her inside the monastery, which you can enter through the previously mentioned prison.
Andariel herself deals a lot of poison damage. Antidotes are a good option for your potion slots, and in case of emergency, you can portal back to town before the poison becomes too strong. The Lesser Evil is very vulnerable to fire damage. Use skills of this element or socket rubies into your weapons, if possible, to defeat Andariel faster.
Andariel is the first and probably the easiest boss in Diablo 2. As a newcomer, her poison attacks can overwhelm you quickly if you’re not careful. If you need general tips, you can find our guide for newcomers on MeinMMO:
In Destiny 2, Lord Saladin invites you to a fiery battle, thus the Trials are planned to be cancelled. In PvE, the seasonal quest of Season 15 continues and in the Shattered Realm, you will encounter some secrets.
This week in Destiny 2: You are setting out to explore new secrets in the Shattered Realm. Additionally, the seasonal story involving Mara, Crow, and Savathûn is slowly coming to an end.
But the long quest “Journey of the Pathfinder” will not be completed today.
However, you can give the Pathfinder Compass its final upgrade.
In the Tower, you will find Lord Saladin, who is hosting the 2nd Iron Banner event of the season. The PvP event will take place until the next reset and provides a great opportunity to quickly increase your power level. Remember the 4 bounties with top loot.
What’s new in the Iron Banner of Season 15?
A complete armor set for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks (in the title image)
The pulse rifle “Forge’s Vow” (390) and the Stasis pistol “Peace Treaty” (491 – Salvo)
The quest “For the Approaching War” – you will definitely receive pieces of the new gear this way
The Stasis weapon Peace Treaty is only available exclusively in the Iron Banner.
In line with this, you can expect double Crucible reputation throughout the week. But don’t forget that there are no Trials this week. Since the Trials and Iron Banner can no longer get in each other’s way, to avoid splitting the player base.
The key info about activities from 28.09. to 05.10.
In “Wait for it…” you are only allowed to kill Wyverns at the conflux during the encounters when they start to sacrifice themselves at the conflux. Critical, because if the sacrifice succeeds, you have to wipe.
As a reward, in Challenge Mode you will receive the time-lost weapon “Vision of Confluence”. The scout rifle will then definitely come with 2 perks per slot.
The high-stat armor this week is focused on recovery – good for all Warlocks.

How can I play early? To participate in the early access phase and play earlier, you need to pre-order Battlefield 2042 or have an EA Play subscription.
What is included in the Beta? This is not yet known. So far, there has only been a technical alpha in which the map “Orbital” was playable. Beyond that, we do not know much, as the playtest was kept confidential and only information leaked out.
Whether the Beta will be more extensive than the Alpha playtest is still unknown. The official trailer indicates that it will likely also feature the Orbital map.
When will Battlefield 2042 be released? The full game is set to be released on November 19th. The release was previously postponed; Battlefield 2042 was originally scheduled to be released on October 22nd.
According to developer DICE, the Corona pandemic caused unforeseen difficulties, and they would not be able to get the game into a release-ready state by the end of October.
The shooter is expected to be released in November on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. However, owners of a PS4 or Xbox One will have to settle for some differences compared to the newer consoles. This is likely also the case with the Beta.

Today is the release day of the new MMO New World. The queues to get onto the servers are huge. But now, even in the game itself, queues are forming to kill certain NPCs.
The players who successfully join a server and start playing are now facing other problems. Because there is so much happening in the game that you literally have to stand in line to complete quests.
This is how players wait in New World
This shows players: On reddit, TRNogger shares a screenshot from New World and titles the image “This is so German”. The image shows two overlapping screenshots depicting player queues.
The user writes that the corrupted cleric was overrun by players wanting to take him down. But it didn’t quite work out, and thus a queue formed, so that each could take down the boss one after the other. It looks really good in the game:

Characters in the game line up to complete quests, such as defeating the corrupted cleric. This task is part of the quest line “Not so good,” which is part of the main story of the game. Every player has to go there sooner or later to progress in the story.
So it’s clear that the spawn of the corrupted cleric is heavily contested. To untangle the chaos a bit, some players agree to the queues.
This is what players say: Some write that it would be “more German” if they had pushed forward in the queue. Others are reminded of the launch of WoW Classic. Because even at the new, old servers of WoW, players struggled with queues outside and in the game.
In the coming hours and days, there will likely continue to be such situations in New World. The influx remains high, and many new players are eager to finally begin their adventure in Aeternum.
Do you want to start soon as well? We have some important tips for you:
What type of player are you in New World? Would you patiently wait in a queue until it’s finally your turn to take down the boss or NPC? Or do you lack patience, living out the roleplay of your nasty character and pushing your way to the front of the queue? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.
