Do you want to start the classic remaster Diablo 2 Resurrected tomorrow and don’t know which class to choose? Then participate in our personality quiz.
These classes are available: On September 23, Diablo 2 Resurrected finally releases, and some of you will venture into Sanctuary to face the hordes of demons. But what power will you wield?
In Diablo 2 Resurrected, you can choose from 7 different classes, each with a cool lore and a variety of builds. For players unfamiliar with the action classic, it can be difficult to settle on a class.
The 7 characters you can play are:
The Necromancer: He belongs to the secret order of the Priests of Rathma and can summon skeletons and make corpses explode.
The Sorceress: A member of the Zann Esu mage clan, she wields the power of the elements in battle, raining fire and ice down on her enemies.
The Druid: The close bond with nature allows the Druid to call upon animals and plants for help in battle. He is one of the shamans from the tribes of Scosglen.
The Paladin: Armed with shield, sword, and the power of their faith, Paladins from Westmarch sweep away demons with holy magic.
The Amazon: A master of the spear and bow, she augments her abilities with magical attributes such as fire or ice.
The Barbarian: He learned to survive in the harsh wilderness of the northern steppes from a young age and mows down his enemies with the power of his rage.
The Assassin: As a member of the mysterious Viz-Jaq’taar, she uses no magic in battle but relies on traps and her physical strength.
You can watch how the gameplay of the 7 classes looks in the videos here:
This is how the quiz works: In the tool below, you can answer various questions and choose the option that appeals to you the most. You earn points for the different classes, which will be totaled at the end of the quiz.

Destiny 2 has introduced legendary Stasis weapons in Season 15, a nasty element that was previously reserved for Exotics. MeinMMO examines how these new guns fit into the sandbox and what concerns the Guardians had about them.
What players were afraid of: At the launch of Beyond Light in November 2020, the new ice ability Stasis was introduced. And it confirmed all players’ fears: Slowing, freezing, and shattering was pure Stasis terror. Especially in PvP, frustrated players could only watch as opponents calmly turned them into tiny ice cubes once frozen.
Only when Bungie introduced massive nerfs for the ability did the situation improve. So, it’s no wonder that the new legendary Stasis weapons introduced in the current Season 15 made players skeptical.
Since the Season of the Lost, there have been four legendary Stasis weapons and a new exotic Stasis weapon. For Bungie, this is another step towards integrating the new damage type Stasis into the current sandbox.
Until now, players only had exotic representatives among Stasis weapons available for their loadout:
The grenade launcher Grip of Salvation
The exotic pistol Cryosthesia 77K
This disappointed the Guardians: Both exotic Stasis guns were only moderately useful and ultimately did not resonate well with players. The grenade launcher was used by players for a few specific quests. After that, it was only pulled out for building creative ice towers or bridges.
The exotic pistol came into the game via the season pass in Season 14. It was able to freeze opponents, causing some temporary tremors in PvP. Then it disappeared back into players’ collections.
At that time, it was not a good start for the new weapon element Stasis.
Some of the new Stasis weapons from Season 15.
Legendary Stasis weapons are set to enhance the Season 15 sandbox
These new ice weapons are: In Season 15, Guardians are expected to regain trust in the element on their weapons through four new legendary representatives.
Hand cannon “Vulpecula”: Obtainable through seasonal quests such as the Prism Converter and Astral Alignment
Shotgun “Fracthethyst”: Available at Season Pass level 30 for everyone and also from the same sources as the hand cannon
Pistol “Peace Treaty”: Available only in Iron Banner
Why Stasis weapons are in the kinetic slot: Players are particularly confused about the classification of legendary Stasis weapons in the kinetic slot. While Stasis power weapons are located in the power slot as usual, all other Stasis weapons can be found in the kinetic slot. Bungie has justified this decision by saying they do not want to overload the energy slot. Renaming the kinetic slot is also not planned. However, kills do not count as kinetic weapon kills (via Bungie.net).
How do Stasis weapons perform in PvP and PvE?
This is what they can do in the Crucible: Players’ concerns about the new legendary Stasis weapons in PvP have not been confirmed. Bungie has ensured that legendary Stasis perks with slowing or freezing effects must always trigger first.
The weapons are indeed enjoyable to play in PvP. Moreover, no one is invincible or overpowered with them. Here, Bungie has done a good job with balancing.
This is what they can do in PvE: As energy weapons in PvE, however, all four weapons are currently at a slight disadvantage. There are currently no enemies with Stasis shields. While Bungie has given some PvE enemies Stasis damage, the new armor mods against Stasis are more important for this.
They now use icy incense vessels instead of solar. Some Taken unleash ice thunder on you, making old strikes tougher.
So, do you have any reason to play the weapons in PvE right now? Yes, but not just because of the pure Stasis damage. It’s rather the new perk Graviton, which the community currently views as a significant advantage on legendary Stasis weapons.
What can the new Stasis perk Graviton do?
Graviton causes precise kills to create a Stasis crystal at the enemy’s location. This synergy and the utility of it are currently almost unrivaled in the game – this also impresses expert Drewskys (via YouTube).
You can use the perk to passively push abilities. In PvE, this can be easily triggered against weak enemies. It creates a lot of fun, regardless of which class you are currently playing with Stasis focus. Especially with the right fragments and aspects , interesting combinations emerge.
That’s why the perk is worth it: Thanks to the aspect “Whispers of Chains,” you take less damage near Stasis crystals. When shattering a crystal, you increase the reload rate of your grenade energy. This excellently supports the Dusk Wielder, one of the most popular Stasis Warlock aspects. If you play this with the new perk Graviton, the Stasis turret becomes available faster again when you shatter the crystal.
With it, you can keep mass amounts of enemies at bay. Through the seasonal artifact, you can also stop unstoppable champions with the pistol. A build combination of Stasis turret and the pistol would thus be conceivable as an option in more difficult activities.
The new exotic “Ager’s Scepter” outshines its legendary predecessors
In addition to the current legendary Stasis weapons, there is also a new exotic representative since September 14: Ager’s Scepter.
The Stasis slug rifle does many things better right from the start than its exotic Stasis siblings. Especially with the catalyst, which can be obtained as a random drop after completing the “Astral Alignment” activity in the Dreaming City, this weapon exotic is already one of the best for PvE.
How good are the new Stasis weapons for the sandbox?
Unlike their exotic predecessors, there is simply much more potential here. Thanks to the perk Graviton, it is a lot of fun to catch your enemies cold. Even if you’re not playing a Stasis focus, your team can still benefit from it.
It will be exciting to see what perks Bungie will still introduce for legendary Stasis weapons in the game. The sandbox of Destiny 2 has already benefited well from the new weapons. Both visually and in weapon handling, they all do a good job.
Have you tried the new legendary Stasis weapons and created new builds with them? Or do you find them completely useless at the moment, unable to break shields? Let us know in the comments what you think of Bungie’s latest legendary damage type.

What is the benefit of Early Access with EA Play in FUT?
How to gain an advantage: Generally, you can earn coins by playing the game. Especially during Early Access, this can be interesting, as you get early budget for activities in the transfer market. You can then use this on the transfer market in the web app and potentially benefit from the fact that not so many players are involved yet – and snag some bargains.
Cancel EA Play: You can cancel EA Play at any time. So if you have had enough of the FIFA trial, you can terminate the subscription afterward. For example, it is possible to secure the trial for 99 cents and then unsubscribe.
MeinMMO introduces you to some useful tips on which settings you should turn off on your gaming console.
Many interesting and helpful features are hidden in the settings of the Xbox and PlayStation that not every user knows about.
MeinMMO presents 6 settings that you should turn off. We also explain why this could help you and how you can disable the settings we presented.
Turn off Auto-HDR on the Xbox Series X
What is it? Auto-HDR enhances game lighting with the support of artificial intelligence. The feature also works for older titles. You can also use Auto-HDR on Windows 10. Anyone who wants to use Auto-HDR also needs an HDR-capable monitor.
Why you should turn off Auto-HDR: It really depends on which game you want to play and how it looks. Especially if you encounter problems, you should turn off the feature.
If the colors in your game appear extremely white or extremely black, making it hard to see anything, then you should turn off Auto HDR. However, you must differentiate from game to game whether Auto-HDR represents an improvement or deterioration of the picture.
Here’s how you can disable it: On the Xbox Series X, go to “My Games” and switch to the game settings. Here you can then turn off Auto HDR under Compatibility Options.
Some games like Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim can benefit from Auto HDR.
Turn off DVR game recordings on the Xbox One
What is it? This is a feature that saves special moments on your Xbox One and automatically shares them with your friends.
Why you should turn off DVR game recordings: Some users have criticized that DVR should burden the performance in some games. We cannot confirm that. However, if you are looking for ways to improve the performance on your Xbox One, then this is one possibility.
Here’s how you can disable it: In your Xbox One menu, go to Settings, then to Preferences and there you turn off “Record games with Game DVR”.
What is it? As soon as you open the Xbox store on the console or PC, the store automatically plays videos of the games. You can easily turn this off.
Why you should turn off autoplay videos: Are you annoyed by the autoplay videos or just want to browse the store quietly without being disturbed by the videos playing over the games? Then you can turn them off.
Here’s how you can disable it: Go to the Xbox store menu and select Settings. Here you then disable the checkbox for autoplay videos.
The Xbox Store offers autoplay videos – which can be annoying too.
Turn off trophy videos on the PS5
What is it? On the PlayStation 5, you can collect trophies in almost all games. Once you unlock a trophy, the console automatically saves a video of the trophy.
Why you should turn off trophy videos: The storage space on the PS5 is limited, and on the console, you have a total of 667 GB available for games. Since games like CoD: Warzone require a lot of space, you can save storage space by turning off the videos.
Here’s how you can disable it: Go to “Settings” in the PS5 menu, then to “Captures and Broadcasts”. Under “Trophies”, you must now disable “Save trophy videos” – if you want, also “Save trophy screenshots”.
By now, you can also expand the storage of the PS5 with a new SSD. In our article, we introduce you to how you can do this:
Why you should turn off the microphone: The microphone is always open by the system. This means whenever you join a multiplayer game with voice chat, you are directly sharing your private life with the chat or hearing things you don’t want to hear. We would therefore advise you to turn off the microphone.
Here’s how you can disable it: Under “Settings / Sound / Microphone / Microphone status when logged in” you can turn off the microphone. There you then need to select “Mute” and the microphone is turned off.
The DualSense controller of the PS5 has a built-in microphone.
Disable background music and sounds on PS4 and PS5
What is it? When you start your PlayStation, you are greeted by a soundscape of the console in the menu. You hear the music and sounds whenever you are navigating the menu.
Why you should turn off background music and sounds: You’ve turned on your console and want to download a longer update, but feel annoyed by the sounds and music of the PlayStation? Then you can simply turn off the sounds.
Here’s how you can disable it: For PS4 and PS5, you need different approaches if you want to turn off the sounds.
PS4: Go to Settings, then to Sound and Screen. Here you can then turn off System Music and also the sound.
PS5: Here you go to settings and then select Sound. After that, go to Audio Output. Here you can turn off the Home Screen music and also the sound effects.

The latest patch of Dead by Daylight has silenced the killer Pinhead – now for good. But what lies behind it?
Dead by Daylight has released a new patch. At first glance, not much has changed for players, as it is mainly a bug fix patch. However, update 5.2.2 also fuels rumors that there are legal issues with the latest killer Pinhead – as his last sound has also been removed.
What is the problem? On the PTR, the latest killer “Pinhead” still had his own voice lines, in which he even said some of his most famous lines from the films. Especially the line “The Box. You opened it. And I came.” was popular among players, but was also often used for parodies. When Pinhead was released, all voice lines were disabled – the killer remained silent. Only a single “groan of pain” could occasionally be heard, which remained from the voice lines.
What has happened now? The latest hotfix patch has also removed the last sound, so Pinhead now does not make any human sounds at all. The only effects left are the rattling of his chains and the various destruction sounds, such as when he breaks a palette. All voiced sounds are now permanently disabled.
Previously, Behaviour had already disabled a large part of the voice effects, but only indicated that there was “a problem” with it. There was no further information, except that they “could not talk about it.” This raises the suspicion that there is some kind of legal dispute and issues with the licensing of the voice afterwards. This is hard to explain why Pinhead remains silent, especially since his release was several weeks ago.

Destiny 2 has a new exotic fusion rifle called ‘Agers Scepter’, which you can obtain from the quest ‘A Hopeless Crown’. With the new catalyst, this weapon becomes even stronger. We at MeinMMO show you 3 builds that will freeze everything.
What’s new: The new exotic fusion rifle ‘Agers Scepter’ has now received a catalyst after the new reset on September 21.
This upgrade will now drain your super energy when switching firing modes at the cost of more damage.
This gives you a Stasis beam that deals 80% more damage and fires from the ammo reserves.
You can thus deal more damage for a short duration and keep firing relentlessly until your super energy is depleted. Also, you freeze enemies without killing them – useful against strong opponents.
Many guardians are now wondering, is it worth sacrificing the strong super for a special weapon? We at MeinMMO have prepared 3 builds for each class that will allow you to fully utilize the new power of Agers Scepter while hardly missing your super.
[toc]
Warlock Build with the Chest Piece ‘Mantle of Combat Harmony’
What Warlocks need: You need the chest piece Mantle of Combat Harmony and your Stasis super. Here’s how you should choose your aspects and fragments:
This is how the build plays out: By using the fragment ‘Whispers of Bonds’ in combination with Agers Scepter, you generate super energy when defeating frozen enemies. With the exotic chest piece ‘Mantle of Combat Harmony’, you receive additional super energy. You just need to get kills with a weapon that has the same element as the equipped super.
Since the exotic fusion rifle has the element ‘Stasis’ and your guardian now has ‘Stasis’ equipped as a super, you will be flooded with super energy from now on. This ensures an inexhaustible source of super energy, supported by the generated elemental wells.
Mods you should include in your armor:
‘Source of Wisdom’ for the helmet, for increased super regeneration
‘Elemental Armament’ for your arms, to create elemental wells through kills
‘Source of Power’ on your chest piece, to deal more damage with your matching weapon
‘Elemental Light’ on your boots, to generate elemental wells with super kills
‘Strength Source’ is a seasonal mod on your class item to gain more super energy from matching elemental wells
Hunter Build with the Boots ‘FR0ST-EE5’
What Hunters need: You need your Stasis super and the exotic “Fr0ST-EE5“. Here’s how you should choose your aspects and fragments:
Early Light Field Grenade
‘Whispers of Guidance’ Stasis Fragment
‘Whispers of Chains’ Stasis Fragment
‘Whispers of Hoarfrost’ Stasis Fragment
‘Whispers of Bonds’ Stasis Fragment
‘Gloomy Harvest’ Stasis Aspect
‘Touch of Winter’ Stasis Aspect
This is how the build plays out: You create crystals after killing frozen enemies – for yourself and your team members. With these crystals, you regain melee energy, allowing you to throw your throwing stars more often.
Since we are still wearing the exotic hunter boots, our abilities charge faster with sprints. The armor mods are identical to those in the Warlock build. The mods are designed so that the generated elemental wells produce super energy through collection.
Thus, your super won’t directly deplete and the focus of the mods is on ability regeneration.
How amazing the build performs, you can see here:

‘Elemental Light’ on your boots, to generate elemental wells with super kills
‘Strength Source’ is a seasonal mod on your class item to gain more super energy from matching elemental wells
Titan Build with the Helmet ‘Precious Scars’
What Titans need: You need the exotic helmet “Precious Scars” and your Stasis super. Here’s how you should choose your aspects and fragments:
Early Light Field Grenade
‘Whispers of Torment’ Stasis Fragment
‘Whispers of Bonds’ Stasis Fragment
‘Whispers of Chains’ Stasis Fragment
‘Tectonic Harvest’ Stasis Aspect
‘Diamond Lance’ Stasis Aspect
This is how the build plays out: This build is also specialized in super generation. However, true to Titan, it also emphasizes tanking damage. The exotic helmet ‘Precious Scars’ provides you and your teammates with healing bursts. You just need to get kills with a weapon that has the same element as the equipped super. This enables you to survive longer and deal a lot of damage.
With the aspect ‘Diamond Lance’, you can also become a spear thrower. You kill enemies with Stasis or those who are frozen and throw the resulting spear back into a mass of enemies. This allows you to control the enemies.
Mods you should include in your armor:
‘Source of Wisdom’ for the helmet, for increased super regeneration
‘Elemental Armament’ for your arms, to create elemental wells through kills
‘Source of Power’ on your chest piece, to deal more damage with your matching weapon
‘Elemental Light’ on your boots, to generate elemental wells with super kills
‘Strength Source’ is a seasonal mod on your class item to gain more super energy from matching elemental wells
These builds are all tuned for super generation. So you can comfortably test the new exotic ‘Agers Scepter’ and also exploit its new firing mode. With these showcased builds for each class, you now have options on how to utilize this weapon for good.
Nevertheless, many other builds are possible that are not listed here. If you have more ideas, feel free to share them in the comments.
What do you think of the builds and the options that are now available? Do you think the weapon with the catalyst is too strong, or do you find the weapon useless? Let us know!

Shortly before the release of Diablo 2 Resurrected, you can already watch all the brilliant cinematic videos in one go. Data miners have unearthed them. Even MeinMMO editor Jürgen Horn feels nostalgic despite not wanting to play Diablo 2 Resurrected at all.
What are the cinematics all about? Data miners have – after the first two cinematics were leaked – now also unearthed and released the remaining video cutscenes from the upcoming Diablo remake Diablo 2 Resurrected.
The somewhat lengthy videos show the story of Marius, a poor lunatic who tells a mysterious figure his story. He recounts his journey to the East, following an unknown “Wanderer” and witnessing horrific events.
Since the Diablo 2 remake also includes the expansion Lord of Destruction, we can also see the two very cool cinematics from the expansion at the end, in which the nasty Lord of Destruction plays tricks on a poor clan leader.
The complete selection of cinematics from the leak can be found dispersed in the following paragraphs.
Who is writing here? Jürgen Horn played the very first Diablo back in the 90s and beforehand had already played the demo, which only contained a first small dungeon, for weeks on end. Likewise, in 2000, he was similarly hooked on Diablo 2. The cinematics and especially the voice acting are still fresh in my mind, which is why the new cinematics completely blow me away.

This is how I felt while watching the videos: In the run-up to the release of Diablo 2 Resurrected, I was tasked with writing a news article about the cinematic leaks. I actually hadn’t been keeping an eye on the remaster of Diablo 2 at all, as I am – unlike many other gamers of my generation – not a fan of nostalgia.

I much prefer to play new, modern games rather than revisit old gems. They should rather rest peacefully in my memory and not be ruined by half-baked resurrection attempts in my perception.
But with Diablo 2 Resurrected, I might stray from my convictions, and it’s these damn cinematics that were simply incredibly good and, thanks to the post-processing, are just as good again today.

Just the sequence in the intro, where the screams of the insane echo through the corridors of the insane asylum and the shadowy figure enters the cell of Marius, who first retreats into a corner, whimpering hysterically, transported me back 21 years in just a few seconds.
After that, there are more cool cutscenes, which were the main reason I extensively played the game back then. A clear highlight is still the scene where Tyrael appears and duels the Lords of Hell. The design of the heavily armored, dark Archangel with the cool hood and “light tentacles” instead of wings impresses me as much today as it did back then.

Rarely have I experienced such intense feelings while simply watching videos as I did with these cinematics, and I literally “binged” them while going through the leaked cinematics for this article.

Thus my decision is made, even if I will surely regret it: I will give in to the hellish temptation and, whether I like it or not, get the damn Diablo 2 Resurrected. By the way, my face could just as well appear instead of Shang-Chi star Simu Liu in the new launch trailer for Diablo 2 Resurrected, as we have virtually the same backstory in Diablo 2.
In Final Fantasy XIV you can play many different roles. Whether legendary hero or renowned blacksmith, there are numerous roles to take on. Thanks to a new emote, you can now even become a mime. It comes at a price, but fans are happy with it.
What is this emote? The gesture is simply called “Mime” and represents exactly that: a mime artist. Mime is one of the many forms of expression in art. Often, miming is used in group games like charades to describe things without words. Or to make a fool of oneself.
Most of you have probably seen something like this before in a pedestrian zone, a show, or a movie. The performer often pretends to be surrounded by invisible walls or to be holding invisible objects. With the emote, you can now do the same in Final Fantasy XIV.
What does the gesture cost? In the official FFXIV store, the skin costs 7 dollars, which is roughly equivalent to 5 euros. (via store.finalfantasyxiv.com)
In comparison, the price is still in the middle range between the cheapest emotes (1.40 euros) and the most expensive, unique emote Megaflare (9 euros). For some players, the price for an emote may still be a bit steep.
Nevertheless, the reactions to the gesture are positive, and there are numerous comments about the mime emote on reddit.
iggyworldwide wrote in a post: “I have been waiting for this new emote to come!” The post has now received over 5000 upvotes and 169 replies (as of September 22, 12:35, via reddit.com).
Other players are also excited about the emote. southerngamergirl commented: “It’s so silly that I need it.” Many other players express similar sentiments.
However, there is also criticism of the emote’s price, claiming it is too high. Generally, there is criticism of the FFXIV in-game shop, as it is a full-priced game with an additional subscription model.
Ultimately, everyone has to decide for themselves whether it’s worth the money. However, those who have always aspired to a mime career in FFXIV now have their chance. The competition may be quite large, though.
But what do you think of the mime emote? Is it for you? Or do you agree with the critics of the price? Discuss with us in the comments.
On the streaming platform Twitch, streamers have recently lived in constant fear of sudden account bans due to the use of copyrighted music. This danger now seems to be averted. Twitch has struck a new deal with the music industry (National Music Publishers’ Association). Little changes, but the risk of bans decreases.
This is the problem with copyrighted music on Twitch:
For years, Twitch was a kind of “wild west” when it came to copyright. Streamers had copyrighted music playing in the background or it was simply part of the soundtrack while gaming. Although it was technically against the rules, it didn’t really concern anyone.
Twitch also had to threaten streamers with bans and the deletion of their channels – that was mandated by law. The warnings and threats caused a lot of uproar. Streamers like German streamer MontanaBlack deleted their huge libraries of videos and clips.
Now Twitch has reached a deal with the music industry: Everything stays the same, but the risk of bans decreases.
Twitch says they are now “more flexible and lenient” towards streamers
What does the deal say? According to US sources, Twitch streamers learned of the new rules in an email on September 21. Twitch proudly announces that they have reached a deal with the “National Music Publishers’ Association”. The organization represents music publishers in the USA.
Overall, nothing changes for the streamers. It remains prohibited to play music for which the streamer does not hold a license.
But: If streamers violate these rules, they will now receive a warning instead of a “DMCA strike”.
Twitch says the new process is “more flexible and lenient” towards creators who unintentionally use copyrighted music in their streams.
Now users will initially receive a warning instead of an immediate strike:
After the warning, the videos would be deleted.
If there is a clear violation of copyright during a live stream, further warnings and penalties may be issued.
If someone is known for using copyrighted music, Twitch reserves the right to impose further penalties.
It is clearly stated:
“The new process does not change how music can be used on Twitch. It is never okay to use music on your channel unless you have secured the rights to it.”
This is how it is discussed: The new rule is seen in a discussion on reddit as “reasonable, but halfhearted” (via reddit).
Ideally, Twitch users would have wished for Twitch to strike a “license deal” like Facebook, which would allow streamers to generally stream copyrighted music. Because in the logic of Twitch streamers, playing music has more of a “promotional” effect: viewers would discover and purchase new music.
For the music industry, it is important to participate in the growing revenues of Twitch.
The new deal is now a compromise that at least reduces the constant risk of bans, but does not really change the situation.
New games already have a “streamer mode”: it simply disables copyrighted music that is in the soundtrack.
In the past, the conflict has repeatedly flared up:

FIFA 22 will be released in October, but thanks to Early Access with EA Play or pre-ordering, there are various ways to play before the official release date. Here you will find all options.
When will FIFA 22 be officially released? The official release date for FIFA 22 is October 1, 2021. At this time, it will be possible to play the game in its standard version in full.
All information about the game and what to expect can be found in our release overview of FIFA 22. Here, all information is compiled.
How can I play earlier? If you don’t want to wait until October 1, you have various options to play before this date with different game versions. We’ll take a closer look at these options here.
Update, 5:00 PM: It seems that the first players have started in the trial version. Current information about the release of the trial version can be found here in our overview of the 10-hour trial with EA Play.
How to play FIFA 22 before October 1 – Early Access and Ultimate Edition
If you want to play FIFA 22 before October 1, you can use various options.
Play FIFA 22 with EA Play for 10 hours – September 22, 2021
If you are an EA Play member, you get access to a so-called “early access trial” that is limited to 10 hours and available from September 22. Here you can play all modes of FIFA 22, but time is indeed limited. After the 10 hours, you will have to wait until October 1 to continue.
What is EA Play? EA Play is a subscription service from EA. With a membership, you can access certain games, secure bonuses, or get 10-hour trial versions before release. This is the case with FIFA 22 as well.
FIFA 22 with EA Play Pro – September 22, 2021 (unlimited)
As EA states on the FIFA 22 page (via EA), as an EA Play Pro member, you can access the Ultimate Edition via Origin or the EA app on Windows starting September 22. In this case, it is not a time-limited trial, but unlimited access.
What is EA Play Pro? EA Play Pro is a more expensive version of the subscription service that also gives additional access to deluxe versions of certain games. In this case, it applies to the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 22, which will also be available from September 22 – so even a bit earlier than the normal pre-order version. However, EA Play Pro is only available on PC (Origin / EA Desktop App).
However, the special edition is also significantly more expensive than the standard edition: on consoles, it costs 99.99 euros, on PC 79.99 euros. The standard version usually costs 20.00 euros less.
This is the cover of the Ultimate Edition with Mbappé’s signature.
These are all the known options so far to access the game earlier. Furthermore, there will also be a web app this year, which allows you to build your Ultimate Team. All info about the web app can be found here.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Today, on September 22, the first players are starting their Early Access to FIFA 22. However, most players have a 10-hour limit after which the game must be put aside again. If you want to use this time effectively for Ultimate Team, there are a few things to consider.
This is how Early Access works: The Early Access to FIFA 22 starts today for all EA Play members. However, this access is limited to 10 hours. There is an exception for “EA Play Pro” members on PC – they can play unlimited.
However, a large portion of players will likely be confronted with the 10-hour limit. If you want to use it to get ahead in Ultimate Team, here are a few tips on how to use your time effectively.
1. Completely close FIFA 22 when you are not on the field
What you should keep in mind: If you take a break, grab something to eat, or watch a video on YouTube? Then don’t forget to completely close the game. Not just go to the main menu of your console or minimize windows – but really: quit the game.
The reason is: If the game is running in the background, you risk that this time is deducted from your play minutes. Then you come back from your break and find that your trial ends earlier than expected.
In general, Early Access offers the advantage that you can already be on the field. Through gameplay, you can earn coins that you need for trading. Accordingly, you should try to spend most of the trial effectively in matches.
All these things can, of course, also be done in the FUT menu of the game. However, you will have trial time deducted there that you could also spend on the field. Therefore: Use the Web App for everything that needs to be done in the menu – this way you save time for playing.
With the Web App, you can comfortably conduct transfers
Important: Make sure to explicitly log out of Ultimate Team before closing your game. Because: You cannot use the Web App when you are, for example, logged in on the console. If you simply close the game without logging out of FUT, it can take up to 30 minutes for FUT to understand that you are no longer online – and it won’t let you into the Web App.
By the way: This year again, there will be rewards for returners: Packs for players who have been around before. You can of course open them right away – or use them as soon as cards like the first TOTW or the OTW players (‘Ones-to-Watch’) are available. Then you have at least a small chance at strong cards at the start with a lot of luck.
What you can keep in mind: When Early Access goes live, the first objectives in Ultimate Team should also be available. It could be worth looking for simple objectives, such as those that provide coins for wins in Squad Battles, simple trading objectives – and similar.
Coin boosts can sometimes also be earned through objectives. This is also worthwhile, as you will receive more coins for each game played with them.
During the Early Access, there are special live FUT friendlies where you can play for pack rewards.
An untradeable 80-84 Player Pick and a Team of the Week loan player (10 matches) can be earned through special Early Access objectives.
These contents are likely only available during Early Access and could be worth it. A Ones-to-Watch SBC should also come. But it’s better to complete it via the Web App once it’s available.
Of course, you can also simply use the trial to explore outside of Ultimate Team. After all, the game also offers modes like Career Mode, Volta, or Pro Clubs. All content is available in Early Access.
Diablo 2 Resurrected is now available for pre-download on all platforms. This way, you can optimally prepare for the release on September 23rd. MeinMMO tells you everything you need to know about the release.
When does the preload start?
At the time of writing (September 22), Diablo 2 Resurrected can be downloaded on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The PC, as the last platform, opened the preload last night.
At what time does Diablo 2 start?
On September 23 at 5:00 PM German time, it starts, simultaneously worldwide and on all platforms. You can immediately play with friends, but only on the same platform – Crossplay is not available for now.
How can I start the preload?
To start the preload, you first need to pre-order Diablo 2 Resurrected. Afterwards, you will find an entry in your library on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch and can pre-load the game. On PC, you also need the Battle.net client.
How much does Diablo 2 Resurrected cost?
The standard edition of Diablo 2 Resurrected costs 39.99 €. If you want the ‘Prime Evil Edition’ along with Diablo 3 with all DLCs and some cosmetics, it’ll cost you 59.99 €.
More content after release – What additional content is coming?
This is what’s in Diablo 2 Resurrected: You get with the remaster everything that was in the original Diablo 2 – including the legendary expansion Lord of Destruction. At launch, you will have 7 playable characters/classes available.
Diablo 2 consists of 5 acts, in which you have to defeat a boss in each. Later, you can take on tougher versions of these enemies with the “Über-Bossen.” For the campaign alone, you should budget around 20 hours, depending on your playstyle.
So it continues after release: Actually, Diablo 2 is already complete. However, we already know for sure that the “ladder” will be added later – that is, seasons in which you can compete with new characters against other players.
Major changes to gameplay are not directly planned, but developers are considering adopting a loot feature from Diablo 3. It is important, however, not to destroy the “spirit” of the game. It should still feel like Diablo 2.
Completely new content is also not ruled out, though it is still under discussion how exactly these can be implemented. The development team has already considered this:
Since the announcement of Konami’s eFootball 2022, the monetization of content has been a topic. A taste of this might be a pre-order pack that includes a DLC that is not available at release.
eFootball 2022 will be a Free2Play game and therefore free.
Thanks to crossplay, all platforms can play together.
The game is supposed to be supported for years and thus replace annual installments. The football simulation is now based on the Unreal Engine and aims to impress with completely new animations and new features.
However, this raises the question of funding – traditionally, F2P titles come with in-game shops where specific content can be purchased for real money. A new pre-order pack already shows where this journey could lead.
Pre-order pack includes DLC that won’t be available until 2 months after release
What is this pack and what’s inside? It’s called the Premium Player Pack and includes some pre-order bonuses. The price is set at 40 dollars, but in the European area, it should typically convert 1:1 to euros (via store.playstation.com).
The pack contains 2800 eFootball myClub Coins, which can be purchased for real money, similar to FIFA Points. 2800 Coins are worth around 28 euros. In addition, there are 6 so-called “Chance Deals”.
What are Chance Deals? According to the description, these deals allow you to sign one of 16 “Ambassador”- and partner-club players for your own club. However, there are a few catches: The Coins and Deals are only available with an update that will be released in mid-November.
eFootball 2022, however, is already set to release on September 30. Thus, you will have to wait almost 2 months before you can benefit from your pre-order bonuses.
Why is this unusual? It is nothing new for players to pay upfront for content that will be available after release. However, this content is usually clearly marketed as season or battle passes and not sold as a pre-order pack.
Pre-order content is usually available immediately at release. In principle, this pack is a pre-order of a pre-order. You pre-order the game, but you only receive the content as part of a DLC at a later time.
But what do you think about it? Do you see the pre-order pack critically, or do you care less since it is purely optional? What do you think about eFootball 2022? Discuss with us in the comments.

In League of Legends, the rumor mill is boiling: The successful LoL team G2 Esports is said to be reshuffling after an unsuccessful season. Toplaner Wunder and supporter Mikyx are reportedly up for sale. The German coach Fabian “Grabbz” Lohmann is also for sale. All three even have a price tag, the coach costs 10 times less than the supporter.
What’s going on at G2 Esports?
G2 Esports was the dominant team in European LoL for years: From 2016 to 2020, the team became champions 8 times. After poaching the best player from rival Fnatic, Caps, in 2019, G2 Esports was the definitive power in Europe.
Ocelote announced a month ago that it was time “to go back and rebuild.”
Top-laner costs 2 million – the coach only 160,000 euros
The latest rumor says: According to sources from the e-sports site Dotesports, there are currently 3 contracts from G2 Esports on the market. This means: Other clubs can buy the players out of their contracts.
Supporter Mikyx is reportedly available for 1.5 million euros
The contract of coach Grabbz is available for 160,000 euros
All three actually still have contracts until the end of 2022. The prices are a “bargain” by G2 standards – the bot-laner/mid-laner Perkz was reportedly sold to the USA for 5 million euros before the season.
Who is left then? If the rumor is true, then G2 Esports will restructure around young mid-laner Caps and veteran Jankos in the jungle.
The big rivals, Fnatic and Mad Lions, seem to have largely completed their teams. Especially Fnatic has seemingly found the franchise player of the future with young top-laner Adam. Such a player seems to be what G2 Esports is currently looking for.
Further adjustments in World of Warcraft are pending. The Pink Love Rocket is also subject to renaming.
The renaming in World of Warcraft continues. The latest version of Patch 9.1.5 on the PTR has a handful of adjustments ready. One of the rarest mounts in the game is being renamed, and the icon is also changing. Apparently, it seemed too reminiscent of a phallus.
What is being renamed? The “Pink Love Rocket,” one of the rarest mounts in the game. The rocket can rarely be dropped by the event boss during the Valentine’s Day event (“Love is in the Air”). As the name suggests, it is a large, pink rocket that strongly resembles Goblin technology.
In the future, the rocket will carry a different name, namely “X-45 Heartbreaker” – presumably “X-45 Heartbreaker” in German. The icon of the rocket will also be changed, making it clearer that it resembles a Goblin rocket.
The new icon.
Why is this being renamed? Blizzard does not provide a specific reason for this. However, it is obvious that the “Pink Love Rocket,” especially in connection with the former icon, could be seen as quite ambiguous. For a long time, there has been a community joke that the icon and name refer to a penis.
With the renaming and adjustment of the icon, this parallel has obviously disappeared.
The Pink Love Rocket – soon the “X-45 Heartbreaker”.
A Boss is Also Being Renamed
But the Pink Love Rocket is not the only renaming. A boss from an old Pandaria raid is also being renamed. The “Twin Consorts” in the Throne of Thunder are getting a new name. They will be renamed to “Twin Empyreans” in the English original. A new German name is still pending.
Along with this, Blizzard is also changing the description and the underlying story of these two Mogu. In the (still current) description, the two female Mogu are clearly what the name also implies – concubines:
It is said that the Twin Concubines are the greatest treasures of the Thunder King. According to rumors, they are the only female Mogu who ever existed, so Lei Shen kept them well – but his devastating arsenal against intruders even better.
Current description of the Twin Consorts in the Dungeon Journal
In the new description they are the two loyalists.
In the new description, there is no mention of the fact that they are the only two women of the Mogu and belong to Lei Shen. In Patch 9.1.5 it says (translated):
The Twin Empyreans are among the strongest champions of the Thunder King. Eager to secure his reign, Lei Shen always keeps his loyalists close and their combined powers against intruders even closer.
New description of the “Twin Empyreans” in Patch 9.1.5
This means that former concubines and “love servants” of the Thunder King are now faithful fighters.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
What is this supposed to achieve? Since the onset of the major discrimination and sexism scandal, the developers have begun to alter unwelcome content in World of Warcraft. Initially, only the names of NPCs and items that were reminiscent of former developers were changed. However, other content has also been affected, as female representations have previously been removed from the game and replaced with fruit.
Blizzard apparently wants to fundamentally revise the portrayal of women in World of Warcraft and is not hesitant to alter the story of characters—even if they come from expansions that are almost a decade old.
What do you think about these renamings? Absolutely okay and justified? Or do they go too far?

In CoD Warzone you can currently face a special challenge in the Hardcore mode “Iron Trials 84”, where there is less loot, stronger enemies, and more pace. Other tactics and weapons shine there, as a pro gamer has spectacularly demonstrated. How he managed to rack up 30 kills with an unpopular weapon can be found here on MeinMMO.
What happened? Pro gamer Joseph “JoeWo” Wohala was playing in the Iron Trials 84 in Warzone and deeply engaged with the new gameplay there. He played solo in duo mode and used an unusual loadout to achieve a total of 30 kills before unfortunately exiting as the third place in the endgame of the round.
Who played? Joseph “JoeWo” Wohala is a 23-year-old American CoD pro who has already won over $100,000 in prize money, including 56K recently at the Warzone tournament Atlanta FaZe Gold Rush on May 5, 2021 (via eSportsEarning.com)
What is Iron Trials 84? This new mode is temporarily in Warzone and brings a heavily altered gameplay experience. The TTK (Time To Kill, that is, the time it takes to kill an opponent on average) is much higher since the characters have more than twice as much health.
Additionally, there is less loot and you especially have to make sure to have enough money to buy your loadout.
Iron Trials shakes up the meta – New weapons and tactics are needed
How did he manage to get so many kills? Despite the much tougher opponents, who often flee after a first mistake and regroup, JoeWo managed to achieve an impressive 30 kills. He owes this to a weapon that was first OP in Season 4 and then got heavily nerfed: the MG 82.

This machine gun was very strong at first, but then it got nerfed and since then it has not appeared among the absolute top weapons in regular Warzone, where currently the RPD stands in our list.
In Iron Trials, however, the MG 82 shines due to its large ammunition capacity, still solid damage, and especially low recoil, allowing it to unleash a large amount of bullets without significant deviation.
This directly plays into the new meta of the Iron Trials, where it is essential to engage in longer fights and chases with a weapon that reliably fires bullets throughout the entire combat duration.
What is his loadout? His primary weapon was an MG 82 with the following attachments:
Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 16.4” Task Force
Scope: Axial Arms 3x
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Handle: Serpent Wrap
These upgrades make the weapon a very solid kill instrument with plenty of ammunition and virtually no recoil due to the grip and underbarrel. This allows you to reliably pump a lot of bullets into the opponent: Ideal for chases in the Iron Trials, where you need to quickly finish off a wounded enemy before they escape.
His secondary weapon was an SMG of the type Bullfrog with the following equipment:
Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
Barrel: 7.4” Task Force
Stock: Spetsnaz PKM Stock
Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip
Magazine: 65 rounds
The Bullfrog is a weapon that JoeWo already likes to use in regular Warzone, and in Iron Trials, the SMG can quickly shred enemies at close range. Thus, once again, a weapon that is ideal for finishing off fleeing opponents.
JoeWo’s entire setup was therefore aimed at overwhelming opponents with a very aggressive playstyle and forcing them to kneel with constant suppressive fire.
What do you think of JoeWo’s setup and tactics? Would you try it as well, or do you have other ideas on how to rock Iron Trials 84? Let us know in the comments.
The release of Diablo 2 Resurrected is just around the corner, and to further ramp up the excitement, Blizzard has released a fun trailer. In it, actor Simu Liu, famous from the Marvel movie, makes an appearance with a rather different confession. Check out the trailer here on MeinMMO and learn more about the background.
What is shown in the trailer?Diablo 2 Resurrected – the remake of the cult game Diablo 2 – launches on September 23, 2021, and to finalise the setup, the developers at Blizzard have treated you to a special new trailer after the last video.
A young man (Marvel star Simu Liu) enters a creepy church, where, among other things, statues of demon lords stand, monsters appear in paintings, or the altar image shows Diablo himself in battle with a hero.
The churchgoer then enters the confessional and “confesses” to the priest that he plans to commit a lot of sins, as the Lord of Terror will soon return, and someone has to do something about it.
Among other things, the young man must give in to greed and the pursuit of power and once again bathe in the blood of demons.
The priest asks somewhat perplexed, “That sounds like you are asking for permission, not forgiveness.”
The would-be sinner then replies, “Yes, I am!”

Shang-Chi star Simu Liu has always been a Diablo fan
Who is Simu Liu and what does he have to do with Diablo? The 32-year-old Canadian is the star of the new Marvel hit Shang-Chi and is currently in everyone’s mind. But that wasn’t the only reason he appeared in the trailer.
Simu Liu is himself a big fan of Diablo, especially Diablo 2. This is evidenced by a funny anecdote from the actor in 2003 that he posted on Twitter.

In it, he describes that back then – he was 14 years old – he played Diablo 2 via a DSL modem, even though he should have been writing an essay for school. Therefore, he had the essay open in another window of the computer and listened like a hawk if his parents came up to check on him.
When he actually heard his parents’ footsteps, he tried to switch windows with Alt-Tab, but the PC crashed right at that moment and still displayed the frozen game scene in Diablo 2. In his panic, he yanked out the power cable and thus avoided being discovered, but also killed the unsaved essay.
The words from the trailer in which the protagonist confesses that he will “once again” bathe in the blood of demons and dive into the darkness thus relate to the many hours that Simu Liu spent more or less secretly in Diablo 2 in 2003.
How are the fans reacting? The trailer was well received by fans and has already garnered over 70,000 views and 4.3K upvotes on YouTube (as of September 22, 2021). Fans praise his appearance and are excited to see more of their star after the Shang-Chi film.
Additionally, there are comments like “The guy lives the geek dream” or “I was so happy to see Simu Liu in the Diablo universe”.
In fact, some fans wish for the Marvel star to become a character in the game. Users comment on YouTube, among others:
“At first, I thought the guy would be the new class!”
“Are we getting a Shang-Chi transmog? I want one!”
“I thought that the Shang-Chi superhero would be the new class.”
