A new patch for Diablo 2: Resurrected was released today, on September 28. We show you the patch notes of the new update and which annoying map bug the team removed.
What is this update? In the morning hours of September 28, an update was released for the remaster of Diablo 2. Players on PC can download the new patch, which is only a few MB in size.
The update fixes a map bug and addresses client crashes. Accordingly, the patch notes are minimal, but the feedback is positive.
Patch Notes from September 28 – What was changed?
What was fixed: Blizzard wrote in the official Diablo forum (via forums.diablo.com), that the new PC patch has been released.
Bug Fixes:
A bug was fixed where the minimap overlapped with a minimap from an earlier session
Numerous various bugs were fixed that caused user clients to crash.
How are players reacting? The new update is well received in the community. On reddit players are discussing how important the map fix was. Hallettnr writes:
“The map bug has been fixed!! The patch just came out a few minutes ago. It is said that the map bug has finally been fixed […].” Later, Hallettnr edited their post, explaining that after 20 minutes of gameplay, they had not encountered the bug at all. “I have never managed that for so long. Thank God”
Other players confirm in the comments that the bug has apparently been eliminated.
What kind of bug was it? “At some point, when you finish a run and start a new one, it shows you the old explored map and the new map overlapping in the new run,” explains Hallettnr. “This made it hard to see where you were going and what you had already explored or not.”
Did you also have issues with the map bug in Diablo 2: Resurrected, or were you lucky and avoided it? Have you noticed fewer crashes with your clients since the update? Share your experiences with the new patch here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss them with the community.

Even before the official release of FIFA 22 on October 1, a glitch is making the rounds that makes scoring significantly easier under certain conditions. The bug appears to be an old acquaintance from FIFA 21.
What kind of glitch is this? The bug has so far been tested in the Pro Clubs mode of FIFA 22. This requires more than one active player. It is related to a goal kick being taken up to the opponent’s penalty area, where a teammate is already waiting for the ball.
The opponent’s defense AI usually positions itself in such a way that it does not mark the waiting player at all. So, this player is completely open and can rush towards the opponent’s goal almost alone and free after a successful goal kick.
YouTuber JCC documented this bug in a video after an opponent tried it against his team. JCC’s team then turned the tables and scored a goal in nearly every attempt. Here you can see it all in the video:

What does the YouTuber say about it? According to his statement, JCC has already forwarded the glitch to EA and has not received a response. With the video, he aims to ensure that the bug disappears from the game as quickly as possible.
How are the players reacting? In the comments, players are far from enthusiastic. Some criticize that the bug also appeared in the predecessor. One commenter writes: “This isn’t new, it was like that in FIFA 21. I’ve been using it in Pro Clubs all the time.”
Some therefore doubt that EA would even test such bugs and feel validated: FIFA essentially remains the same every year, including glitches.
Does this only work in Pro Clubs? It’s hard to say. So far, there is no evidence of the glitch from other modes. Theoretically, it should work in any mode where you can play a match in co-op.
Whether EA will fix the bug promptly is currently unknown. Since this did not happen in the predecessor, it may take a while.
When will FIFA 22 be released? The early access phase has been running since September 27. FIFA 22 will officially be released on October 1 for all players.
Dedicated fans of Pokémon GO have a big goal, they want to catch all the monsters. However, this obviously has no limits in the real world, and the sale of fan merchandise is booming. Now there is a new product of desire in the Pokémon community: limited Oreo cookies. We took a look at why they are so popular and show it to you.
What kind of fan merchandise is that? Time and again, themed products are offered for fans of Pokémon. The most well-known fan merchandise includes Pokémon trading cards. However, Pokémon lovers can also encounter the little monsters in other areas. Recently, there are special cookies that make the hearts of Pokémon fans beat faster.
These are the Oreo cookies for Pokémon fans
The cookie manufacturer Nabisco announced at the beginning of September 2021 that there would be a limited edition of Oreo cookies. The edition is called “Pokémon x OREO Limited Edition Cookies.” As the name suggests, the cookies revolve around the theme of Pokémon, which is why a total of 16 different monsters are featured as designs. Here they are:
Bulbasaur
Charmander
Squirtle
Pikachu
Sandshrew
Jigglypuff
Lapras
Dratini
Mew
Cyndaquil
Sableye
Piplup
Snivy
Panpour
Rowlet
Grookey
The designs are randomly chosen in the respective packaging. So you cannot see in advance which monsters you will get. In the following Twitter post from Oreo, you can see how the limited edition of the popular cookies is designed:

That’s why fans spend thousands of euros on the cookies
Fans can now delight in special Oreo cookies featuring Pokémon designs. But why should they spend so much money for a few cookies? The background is a strike at the manufacturer Nabisco. This caused production problems and thus delivery shortages.
In the original series, the games, and the trading cards related to Pokémon, Mew is one of the rarest monsters. This has obviously not changed with the Oreo cookies, as Mew is also the hardest to obtain here. For this reason, the cookies are currently very popular on the auction platform eBay.
The Oreo cookies featuring Pokémon designs have become the object of desire. Depending on the design, they are sometimes offered for several thousand euros. For example, the online magazine NPR reports that cookies featuring a Mew design have been sold for over $15,000 (via npr.org). Also, in our research, according to the sales overview on eBay, the Mew cookies are sometimes sold for nearly 1,000 euros.
That fans of Pokémon spend such high sums for a fan item, like the cookies, doesn’t happen for the first time. Especially the popular Pokémon trading cards have captivated trainers. These are also regularly traded at high prices.
The background here is also the rarity of certain specimens. At the beginning of the year, a fan had purchased a set of booster cards from the first generation for the equivalent of 336,725 euros.
Whether Nabisco will ramp up production of the popular cookies and whether the price will stabilize as a result is still unknown. If there is any information regarding this, you will find it on MeinMMO.
What do you think of the limited Pokémon edition of the Oreo cookies? Would you buy some? And is it also a collector’s item for you, for which you would spend so much money? Feel free to write your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.
In the coming weeks, there will be quite a bit happening in Pokémon GO. We took a look at which spotlight hours await you in October and show you which ones are particularly worth it.

The debate about a strong aim assist for controllers in Call of Duty: Warzone continues. Now the well-known YouTube streamer Guy “DrDisRespect” Beahm has also commented on it, in his usual quirky style. He made an ironic video about how “easy” Warzone is with the controller.
What is it about? For several months now, 3 major topics have been stirring the Call of Duty: Warzone community:
the nasty cheaters
the aim assist for controllers
missing field of view options on consoles
While everyone agrees that the cheaters need to be removed from the game, the discussion is quite different when it comes to aim assist and field of view. Console players and PC gamers are at odds over what is unfair – the small field of view or the lack of aim assist.
In a video on YouTube, the YouTube streamer “DrDisRespect” also took a stand – in his own unique way. Under the title “The Great Aim Assist War Debate Has Gone Out of Control”, the streaming character demonstrated that one can even “close their eyes” and still hit enemies in close combat.
Basically, the Doc is just making fun of how seriously some players take the whole issue.
DrDisRespect makes fun of the debate
What kind of video is this? Essentially, it’s just a regular compilation of a stream from DrDisRespect. The Doc meets up with one of his best YouTube buddies, TimTheTatman, and the two rock a few rounds of Warzone. However, there’s a little challenge – both are playing with the controller. Here’s the video we’ve embedded for you:

What do Tim and the Doc think about aim assist? In the beginning, the Doc apparently makes it clear how easy it is to play Warzone with the controller. He goes further and claims that you can even close your eyes in close combat. He says about aim assist: ‘Even if I don’t want to aim at the guy, I can’t break the magnetism in close combat.’
But the Doc doesn’t mean it seriously. In fact, he wants to show how “normal” the gameplay looks even with the controller.
As ZLaner joins the game during the stream, a companion of the Doc, it becomes clear what this is really about:
ZLaner: ‘Why are you playing with a controller today? Are you trying to prove something or what?’
TimTheTatman: ‘I defend players on the controller.’
ZLaner: ‘And the Doc is trying to make some sort of joke?’
TimTheTatman: ‘Yep.’
ZLaner: ‘He’s trying to show that aim assist is the easiest thing ever?’
TimTheTatman: ‘Yep.’
So while Tim actually wants to support controller players, the Doc is just making fun of the debate and pokes fun at controllers. For him, mouse and keyboard are apparently still the superior input device. By the way, at the end of the video, there’s an ad for Doc’s products – in the foreground: mouse & keyboard.
Who is DrDisRespect? Dr Disrespect is a character portrayed by streamer Guy Beahm. Beahm previously worked as a community manager and map designer at Call of Duty. As Doc, Beahm made his breakthrough on Twitch in 2017. In the following years, he became one of the most important faces and ambassadors of the streaming platform, until he was banned in June 2020 and has been streaming on YouTube since then.
Why is DrDisRespect making such a video? Currently, the discussion about aim assist is heating up again, and the Doc was right in the middle of it. It all started with a tweet a week ago: ‘Without your aim assist, you’re nothing!’ (via Twitter). This was picked up by the big Twitch streamer “Myth”, who became famous through Fortnite and has over 7 million followers on Twitch (via twitchtracker.com).
Myth said: ‘I would never put a controller player in my top 10 best FPS players’ (via Twitter) and referenced the Doc’s tweet. However, reactions promptly followed, and current and former CoD professionals spoke up who have been playing only with controllers for years:

The aim assist heats things up in Warzone, but the Doc isn’t fazed as usual. He jokes about it and uses the momentum of the discussion for his video title. But the discussion is heated and will likely accompany us for some time.
We would love to hear your opinions on the topic of aim assist or the spiraling debate around the mechanics. If you want more background on how aim assist works in Warzone, check it out here: How to optimally use aim assist in Warzone and CoD MW.

Destiny 2 releases a new trailer, but one alien in it is not official. Bungie uses fan art – what do artists and the studio say about the situation?
On September 24, the official Twitter account of Destiny 2 released a new video to hype the Guardians for the upcoming “Witch Queen” expansion. In the clip, you see Ikora staring at walls full of photos, sticky notes, and even red threads, trying to make sense of the next threat like in every second detective movie.
It’s about Hive Gods and betrayal. You see the bizarre aliens that the Guardians have to deal with. But one of these aliens is not the official alien. It appears that fan art has clearly snuck into the trailer. The creator of the fake recognizes his work and speaks up.
This is the fake alien:
What is Ares to the Greeks is “Xivu Arath” – the goddess of war for the Hive in Destiny.
So far, players have not seen this alien themselves.
There are only a few pieces of concept art, even though the characters play an increasingly important role in the story.
That there are so few images of it is now coming back to Bungie: At second 42 in the trailer, two drawings of Xivu Arath can be seen on the left. These are fan art, not official images from Bungie.

As the Guardians analyze every clue and scrap from Destiny 2, it quickly became clear that Bungie made a blunder. What does the creator of the fan art say about this?
“I make no claim of theft”
This is how the creator responds: Forbes asked the original artist, relay314/Mal E, about it. Mal E confirmed there that Bungie did not ask for permission or announce the usage otherwise (via Forbes).
The creator of the fan art also responded that no foul play was intended, it was 100% a crazy mistake. Furthermore, it is stated that no claim of theft is made and that they were inspired by Bungie’s art design.
The almost identical images of Xivu Arath were posted by Mal E back in October 2020:

The whole situation escalated over the weekend, and players expressed everything from “embarrassing thing Bungie” to severe accusations.
The YouTube channel “Hoen Law,” which deals with the legal aspects of gaming, is now using the Bungie blunder as a lesson in their latest tutorial video. It addresses copyright infringement and the rights of fan art from a lawyer’s perspective (via YouTube).
Bungie admits “confusion” – asks for permission afterwards
This is what the Destiny developer says: Bungie’s community manager Cozmo now steps in for the Destiny developer on the evening of September 27.
The studio and the creator of the fan art have since been in contact – there was a “confusion” on Bungie’s part, according to the community manager:
During the creation of this post [the trailer], there was a confusion and [works of] @relay314 were used accidentally. We have reached out to him and received permission to use his work, and we now give him recognition for this great community depiction of Xivu Arath.
Mal E now jokes proudly that he made it into an official Destiny 2 trailer (via Twitter). So there is no bad blood between the artist and the Destiny developers, and the confusion has been confirmed.
What do you think of the incident? Can you understand that one would assume official artworks from such talented artists, and are you not angry with Bungie, just as the creator is not? Or do you find the situation embarrassing?
Another important member of the World of Warcraft team is leaving. One of the most popular authors is no longer working for Blizzard.
The long series of departures of key figures at Blizzard shows no signs of ending. Now another important writer for World of Warcraft has left and announced on Twitter that it was his last day. He was responsible for some of the best stories surrounding World of Warcraft.
Who left? We are talking about Robert Brooks. He was a “Story Developer” at Blizzard and wrote for all major franchises – including Diablo, Overwatch, StarCraft, and Warcraft.
On Twitter, he explained that last Friday was his last day at Blizzard. After nearly 10 years, his work for the Blizzard universes has come to an end.
What did he write? Although the name may not immediately ring a bell for many WoW players, Robert Brooks is responsible for some of the best and most emotional stories in and around World of Warcraft as a writer. His works included:
He was also responsible for the two audio dramas that were released before and during the “Legion” expansion. Many fans consider “The Tomb of Sargeras” and “Thousand Years of War” to be some of the best Warcraft stories created over the years.

Why did he leave? Brooks did not specify the exact reasons for his departure. On Twitter, he simply stated that he had worked alongside some of the “best designers, artists, and technical wizards in the universe” for 10 years. He will “always be grateful, both to his colleagues and to the Blizzard community” for the countless wonderful memories.
Some fans speculate about why Brooks left. It is suspected that he was simply dissatisfied with how his “definitive” account of the story of World of Warcraft was later devalued and presented from the Titans’ perspective. However, Brooks already responded to this speculation on Twitter, stating that there was no conflict among employees:
Does it have to do with the scandal? Blizzard has been reeling from the aftermath of the major sexism and discrimination scandal for several weeks now. This raises the suspicion that Brooks’ departure is related to this issue. He himself writes a few words about all the incidents:
The last two months have been painful.
But remember: The victims have carried this burden alone for years. Abuses, bullying to silence them, loss of career opportunities due to prejudices… too much has been tolerated for far too long.
Believe their stories – both the abuses AND the cover-ups.
Reporting incidents could feel like facing a firing squad. I suspect the people in HR felt the same way when trying to bring the issues to the bosses.

However, Brooks does not see everything negatively. He has hope for Blizzard’s future and believes that real change is underway. He writes:
The good news? I am hopeful about Blizzard’s future. The talented people I have had the privilege of working with across all teams are incredible. They could make the next 10 years some of the best [for Blizzard] the company has ever seen.
To support them, you should support the folks from AbetterABK [a group of employees advocating for improvements].
They are doing a really good job of making the right people nervous.
In Diablo 2: Resurrected everything revolves around items. They have special properties that make you stronger. If you find items with a certain attribute during your journeys, you should definitely keep them – even at lower levels.
What kind of items are these? These are the so-called “+ Skill” items. The property of increasing a skill can appear similar to additional damage or health points on an item. There are different variants:
+x to all skills
+x to all skills of a skill tree
+x to a specific skill
The skills are tied to the class, and there are skills for almost every ability and skill tree of the 7 classes of Diablo 2. However, you can also find abilities from other classes – these will only be beneficial under certain circumstances.
You can usually sell these items to merchants for particularly high prices, and it is tempting to fill your pockets. However, these items are among the most sought-after equipment in Diablo 2: Resurrected, and you shouldn’t just hand them over to the next NPC.
This Eibenstab would certainly be powerful for many necromancers.
Better skills thanks to items
How exactly do the items work? The items increase the value of certain abilities of your class. This is almost like getting another level-up for free.
There can be multiple levels of the skill on the items, sometimes up to +18. Such “+ Skill” items are especially useful and even necessary for later builds.
Accordingly, the items are highly sought after. If you find such an item, you should stash it – either for your next character or to sell it to fellow players. Usually, you can earn more gold selling to fellow players than at the merchant. However, we advise to only trade for gold – even if the RL prices are tempting:
Where can I find such items? Everywhere. In Diablo 2, special items can be in every chest and dropped by every enemy. The necromancer’s staff in the image above, for example, was found in a chest in normal mode in Act 2.
The higher you go, the better the items are in their base stats. Better items are worth more, and it’s more likely that you’ll use such an item later. However, there are also certain items that are even more powerful.
“Oskills” mix the classes
What are Oskills? With “Lord of Destruction,” the first expansion, items were introduced that grant abilities from other classes. This allows you to cast, for example, the sorceress’s Meteor as an Amazon or Barbarian.
These items are referred to in the community as “Oskill,” and the difference from the items mentioned above is that every class can use them. You’ll learn a new skill through them and can use it.
Items with +10 or more on the skills can occur here. However, if you use such an item with a class that already possesses the skill, the bonus is limited to +3. This ensures balance.
Where do I get these items? Oskill items are usually unique legendary items or sets. The set bonus of Trang-Oul’s Avatar, for example, grants the skills Fireball, Firewall, and Meteor.
Like most items in Diablo 2, you obtain these items through random drops – preferably from tough bosses on Hell difficulty. There are also so-called rune words that can grant you Oskills.
Rune words are specific combinations of runes that you find in the game. When placed in the correct order in a non-magical item, they create a more powerful item. You can find here all rune words in Diablo 2 and what they provide.
Have you already found such items? If so, which ones? What would you recommend to newcomers? Leave us a comment!

In Fortnite, the servers will go down today, September 28, on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, Android). The downtime will be used to deploy the new Update 18.10. We will summarize all changes from MeinMMO here.
What is happening today in Fortnite? An update was announced a week ago on Twitter. There, Epic Games addressed important changes regarding the XP system. They will strive to find a good solution so that the current XP system no longer feels like a grind.
To ensure you don’t miss anything, we at MeinMMO will update the article for you, so you are always up to date.
Update – 11:10 AM: You can now download the patch. The size of the update is 2.750 GB on the PS5. We can expect a lot of new things. The servers are back online, and you can start a round of Battle Royale. The patch notes in German have been listed in the post.
[toc]
Fortnite servers go down – when and for how long?
Downtime in the morning: The servers will shut down at 10 AM our time to roll out Update 18.10. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes prior, so you won’t be able to play after 09:30 AM.
When can you play again? The servers will be offline for quite a while, and playing will not be possible. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This has been shown by the updates of recent weeks.
Of course, technical problems and delays can always occur during such work. If complications arise, we will report on them.
When will the patch notes come? Normally, Epic Games releases little to no information about the update changes in the Battle Royale mode. These are often discovered by the community themselves.
If important changes come up, we will also update this article for you.
What new content does Update 18.10 bring?
What’s new for Battle Royale mode? We aren’t entirely sure about the changes yet, but leaks and data miners have often proven to be reliable sources in the past. Here’s what you can possibly expect:
Revised XP System: Since the beginning of Season 8, the current XP system has been criticized. In Battle Royale mode, players received too few XP for completing a match, and other sources of XP, such as the “Stowaway” mode, were modified by Epic, reducing the amount of earned XP by 50%.

The community expressed their concerns on social networks like Reddit and Twitter, demanding a revision of the system. When Epic Games learned of this, they announced positive revisions to the XP system, and now the community is eagerly awaiting the changes.
More color bottles for Cartoon Fish: With the new Season 8, a special skin has been added to the Battle Pass. This is called “Cartoon Fish” and can be dyed in various colors with collected color bottles. New color bottles may also be introduced to unlock more styles.
These color bottles can be found and collected in certain locations on the Battle Royale map. If you still need the first batch, we have a guide for you on the current locations:
This item works like the 6-pack Chug Splash, but with a few changes in effect. Now you won’t get shields added, but you and your teammates will receive a speed boost and healing worth 20 HP.
Other minor changes that could come include:
Preparations for the Halloween event “Fortnitemares 2021”
New weapons like the Combat AR or Combat SMG
New POI at the Sweat City “Tilted Towers”
Changes to Steamy Stacks
New skins or styles
The most important information about the patch notes
In the following paragraphs, you will find all the new features from the update.

New World has finally been released, and the influx of players is enormous despite the unfavorable timing here. Long queues are forming, and some players cannot get into the game. Such a situation hasn’t been seen in years.
What is the situation in New World right now? New World has recently launched, and although the start time here was very inconvenient for employees, many players have ventured into the new world. It has already catapulted into the Top 3 of the Steam Charts.
However, for many players, this adventure ended right after character creation, as the servers are currently being brutally overwhelmed, and the influx is immense. Players are reporting four-digit numbers of players stuck in front of them in the queue, leading to correspondingly long wait times.
The staff at MeinMMO is not spared from this either. Our editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski reports that after character creation, she landed in queue position 6,768 and then even slipped to position 10,044 after an hour. At the time of this article, she is still not in the game, as there was a shutdown for maintenance.
How are the servers set up in New World? New World relies on individual servers that, according to official statements, can host over 1,000 players simultaneously. Unlike games like ESO, no large mega-server is set up per region. Additionally, there is currently no regional lock, allowing players from other continents to also join in Europe, further complicating the situation. You can find a list of the servers – including the German ones – here.
Similar struggles during launch were last seen with Anthem and WoW
When was there ever such a situation? It has been a while since there has been such a high influx for an MMO. A comparable situation last occurred in February 2019 with the launch of BioWare’s ultimately unfortunate action MMO Anthem.
Will Leya ever make it into the game?
It took days for the “infinite loading screen bug” to be fixed back then, allowing players to enter the game smoothly. But even without the bug, there was a significant influx on the servers at that time.
A similar situation arose later in 2019 with the release of WoW Classic. The servers were also overwhelmed by unexpected hordes of nostalgic players, and players could not log in for hours.
What are the reasons for the long wait times? First of all, New World is a new MMORPG, and moreover, one from the West and not an import from Asia. This inevitably led to great interest from genre fans, and many probably took time off or made special plans for the launch.
Additionally, the absence of regional locks means that players from all over the world are storming the servers in Europe.
Finally, an unusual statement from Amazon itself could also be to blame. To reserve names, many players are currently flocking to the servers, just to secure a name. You can find out more details about this here.

In an interview, Sony has now stated that they have thousands of ideas for the PS5 and are already working on new features and want to fulfill user requests. MeinMMO presents the most requested features to you.
The official PlayStation Blog interviewed Hideaki Nishino, the Vice President of Platform Experience at PlayStation (via blog.playstation.com). Nishino is responsible, among other things, for system software and PlayStation features. He and his team take care of the core functions so you can game on the PS5.
What does he say? In the interview, he explains that they have learned a lot from the development of the PS4 and have also noticed which features are particularly popular among users.
We know what is most accepted and most popular; which features are not used. So, before the launch of the PS5, we had a huge list of things we wanted to do. We actually dreamed of doing it all.
In this way, they have designed many features for the PS5 and are still working on many features. They also want to cater to the wishes of the fans. He explains:
We are not just writing down our desired features. We are working for the needs of our customers. We really want to solve the problem in a pleasant way. That is our central passion. We are here for PlayStation.
And among the current and future PlayStation users, there are plenty of things they are still wishing for. Many continue to hope that Sony could bring back some missing features to the PS5. Others are already hoping that the leaks are true and that Sony is already working on a PS5 Pro.
These 5 features are most desired by PlayStation fans
On Reddit and other sites, there are countless users who miss certain features on the PlayStation 5 that were available on the old PS5 (via reddit.com). Besides many minor improvements, users especially desire a handful of bigger features:
Support for WQHD resolution (1440p)
Custom folders on the PlayStation 5 for games, music, and more.
Ability to save games or game data on a USB stick.
Ability to remove games or demos from the library.
Themes for the PS5
At least with the September update, Sony has brought several new improvements to the console and has especially unlocked a requested feature.
The PS5 update in September brought improvements and SSD support
In September, the PS5 received a lot of improvements and new features. Sony has adjusted some menus, and you now see PS5 and PS4 games separately on your next-gen console. Additionally, you can now customize the menu bar (Control Center) to your liking.
Which feature do you wish for the most, or are you satisfied with the features of the PS5 and just wished for the expansion of the PS5 storage?
If you want to expand your PS5 storage, here we present all the important information regarding the upgrade:
In Pokémon GO, the spotlight hour with Alolan Meowth starts today, September 28. As a bonus, there are many candies waiting for you, but you’ll also be rewarded with a lot of Stardust. We provide all the info on the start, shiny, and the bonuses.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday, a so-called spotlight hour takes place in Pokémon GO. For 60 minutes, a specific Pokémon is the focus that you can find nearly everywhere. This is accompanied by a bonus.
Today, Alolan Meowth is in the spotlight and will be accompanied by a candy bonus. Additionally, you will earn slightly over 100,000 Stardust if you play reasonably actively.
Spotlight hour on September 28 with Alolan Meowth – Bonuses and Times
When does it start? As always, the spotlight hour starts today at 6:00 PM and lasts for one hour. Around 7:00 PM, the spawns in the wild should revert back to the “normal” Pokémon that are currently active.
What bonuses are there? During the spotlight hour, you will find Alolan Meowth nearly everywhere in the wild. If you light a lure, it will also yield many encounters with Alolan Meowth.
This event is accompanied by a candy bonus. For sending Pokémon, you will receive double the amount of candies.
What else is interesting? Alolan Meowth is among the Pokémon that give you more Stardust when caught. Without weather boost, you get 750 Stardust per catch, and with weather boost, you will even receive 938 Stardust. If you also activate a star piece, you get 1,125 Stardust per catch without weather boost and even 1,406 Stardust with weather boost. Alolan Meowth receives a weather boost in fog.
With 100 catches during the spotlight hour, you will therefore receive at least 75,000 Stardust; with a star piece, 112,500 Stardust. Near stops and with a lure module, 100 catches in an hour are easily achievable. Trainers with a good route can earn between 200,000 and 300,000 Stardust.
On reddit, biterphobiaPT explains that the record for most catches during a spotlight hour is over 900 catches.
Is there a shiny Alolan Meowth? Yes, the shiny version of Alolan Meowth has been available in Pokémon GO for years.
Is the spotlight hour today worth it?
What you need to know: When Pokémon that give extra Stardust are in the spotlight, an event like this is really worth it. Stardust is an important resource that you need for many actions like power-ups or trades. For that reason alone, it’s worth participating today.
In addition, there’s the candy bonus. So if you’ve caught many Pokémon in the past days or weeks but haven’t sent any yet, you can take advantage of the time today during the event to send them off and earn extra candies.
Are you participating in the spotlight hour, and how many catches are you aiming for during the event? Let us know your thoughts in the comments here on MeinMMO.
In the coming weeks, more events of this kind will be coming up. We have already taken a look at all spotlight hours in October and their bonuses and will show you who it might be worth it for.

After a quiet period regarding the beta of Battlefield 2042, a new leak has surfaced with a release date. Allegedly, it should start next week, and we might learn more tomorrow (September 29).
What kind of leak is this? The information comes from the Chinese site Bilibili. It is a large, well-known website in China that specializes in comics, video games, and other content.
It also features livestreams. Recently, Battlefield 2042 has received its own livestream page, and during that process, a date for the beta was revealed.
When is the beta supposed to start? The beta of Battlefield is allegedly set to run from October 6 to October 9. We currently do not know to what extent the early access phase is included within this timeframe.
If the information is correct, the beta will start next week. As always, be cautious with leaks. Even if the information comes from official sources, things can still change. Until publisher EA or DICE comments on it, nothing can be considered confirmed.
However, the date aligns with previous revelations from insider Tom Henderson, who also commented on it on Twitter:

Battlefield 2042 Open Beta – Date to be revealed tomorrow
When will the announcement be made? According to Henderson, a new trailer for Battlefield along with the confirmation of the beta date is supposed to be released tomorrow, September 29.
What is the significance of the date? Currently, it’s hard to assess. The beta of Battlefield 2042 was originally supposed to be released in September, but no specific timeframe has been announced yet.
The release of Battlefield 2042 has been postponed in the meantime, which likely applies to the beta as well. EA has yet to provide an official statement on this.
Bilibili is well-known in China and also has an official page for Battlefield 2042. Thus, the leak should not be entirely unfounded.
The information also coincides with insider details from Tom Henderson, who has mentioned a similar date multiple times as the new release. Henderson has been regarded as a reliable source in the past and has been accurate with numerous revelations regarding Battlefield 2042.
Thus, the beta could potentially be released next week, and the announcement is expected tomorrow, September 29.
What would the date mean? If the timeframe mentioned by Bilibili is accurate, the beta for Battlefield 2042 would be relatively short. Early access players would have about 4 days, while other participants would have 2 days to test.
For comparison: The beta for Call of Duty: Vanguard was available for all players from September 18 to September 22. They could play for up to 4 days without a pre-order or anything similar. Initially, only 2 days were planned for the open beta, which was extended to 4 days.
What do you think about the information? Would you play the open beta? Does the supposed timeframe work for you, or do you think it’s too short? Let us know in the comments.
At the moment, thousands of players are logging into the MMO New World (Steam) to create a character and, most importantly, secure a name. However, the chance of snagging the desired name is extremely low. This is due to a decision made by Amazon. Players were even advised to secure a name and then delete the character.
Why are all the names in New World already taken? This is due to a decision made by Amazon, which was announced a few days ago on Reddit (via reddit):
“Names in New World are currently global, meaning: whoever secures a name first reserves it for their account, even for a short time after the character is deleted.”
NW_Musgsymania, New World developer
Amazon even stated: People could secure a name even if their servers are not online yet. One could secure the name on any server, and it would then count for their home server. Therefore, it’s also okay to delete the character that was created.
What does this mean in practice? In practice, this means that almost all known names from fantasy games or science fiction series, as well as somewhat “normal” player tags, will likely be taken within minutes.
Because players from the USA or South America can secure a name like “Darklegolas,” and that name will then be unavailable to anyone worldwide:
This “name reserving” contributes to the queues in Europe being extremely long even in the early morning hours.
It also leads to people creating characters racing through character creation at a ridiculous pace, just to secure the name.
The idea is: “First secure the name,” then delete the character, and then create the “real character” in peace. This strategy was also suggested by Amazon.
Here, a streamer skips the details of character creation and is thrilled because he gets his name:

Will it stay that way? Not necessarily. Amazon has indicated that they will later bring options to address the issue that players missed their “exact name” at launch.
At the moment, however, there are no concrete commitments or ideas, only a vague statement of intent.
Why are names so important to players? For many players in MMOs, their names in games are a part of their identity. They associate character names with memories from previous games and are often addressed by their friends and guild members by that name.
What can you do if the name is already taken? The usual approach is to use “misspellings” and “absurd special characters” to make the name still somewhat resemble the original name.
This can take on absurd forms, as anyone who has encountered someone named “Fâceméltòr” or “Darkhleeeeegohlas” in MMORPGs knows.
We at MeinMMO wish you good luck in securing your desired name. You’ll need it.
In FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, you have the option to change your team’s name. However, the option is quite well hidden. On MeinMMO, you will learn how it works.
If you are FUT veterans and had a club in Ultimate Team before FIFA 22, then in FUT 22, the name of your old team will simply be adopted. But what if you no longer like your club’s name?
You can easily rename your club, but unfortunately, the option is not that easy to find. We will show you step by step what you need to do to give your team a new name.
This is how you change your club name in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team
This is how you change your club name: To rename your club, you need to launch FIFA 22 on the console or PC. Unfortunately, the option is not offered in the web and companion app.
Once you launch FIFA 22, the next steps are:
Open Ultimate Team and go to “Objectives.”
Then switch to the “Basics” tab.
Next, in the “The Basics” tab, find the option “Club Name.”
Access it and enter a club name as well as the abbreviation of the club.
Finally, press “Confirm Club Name” to complete the process.
The option is quite hidden.
However, it is not known how often you can change the club name in FIFA 22. In the past, it was possible only once per season. So make sure that your new club name does not contain any typos.
Are you going to give your new FUT 22 team a new name? And let us know in the comments what your clubs are called!
If you are still looking for a strong starter squad with Bundesliga players, then we have a few tips for you:
The shop of New World was unknown for a long time. However, there were discussions beforehand about XP boosters and possible advantages for players who spend money. We at MeinMMO take a closer look at the shop at release.
What’s in the shop? New World is a Buy2Play MMO and, in addition to the purchase price, relies on a shop where real money can be spent. However, this shop is rather unremarkable and offers no nasty surprises. You can currently purchase the following items there:
New emotes
Various skins for armor and weapons
Furniture for housing
New crests for your company
New dyes
In most areas, however, the selection is rather small. For instance, there are only 3 different colors, 3 emotes, and only one skin per weapon type.
Is there Pay2Win? No, none of these shop items give you an advantage in the game. Also, exchanging real money for in-game currency is not possible.
Overall, the shop of New World currently gives a fair impression, especially regarding prices.
Limited selection at pleasant prices in the shop
How much do the various items cost? Those who want to buy an item in New World must first obtain so-called luck tokens. 1,000 luck tokens cost about 80 cents in the cheapest package and about 70 cents in the most expensive package due to bonus tokens.
The luck tokens in New World.
For our calculations, we have always based on the 80 cents.
New weapon skins cost between 6.80 Euros (one-handed weapons) and 8 Euros (two-handed weapons)
Armor costs between 8 and 12.80 Euros.
New emotes are available for 3.20 Euros to 4.80 Euros.
The company crests also cost between 3.20 Euros and 4.80 Euros.
The colors all cost 3.20 Euros each.
For housing, there is only a complete package with several pirate-themed items. The package costs 23,000 tokens and thus about 18.40 Euros.
What is the most expensive item in the shop? The most expensive item is the housing package for 23,000 tokens. It is followed by two armor sets for 16,000 luck tokens, which we have included here as a preview image:
Left is the set of the Righteous Guardian, right is the set of the Rune Bear.
What do you think about the shop of New World? Do you find the selection fair? And are there interesting items and nice skins available? Let us know in the comments.
We at MeinMMO follow New World intensively. That’s why we have already created many guides:
Dead by Daylight changes a lot about the game. The Deathslinger and Plague are being reworked – and the hatch is getting heavily nerfed.
The developers of Dead by Daylight talk extensively about the future of the asymmetrical horror game. They even get quite specific and address some of the biggest issues. After previously announcing reworks for the Trapper and Ghost, two more adjustments are now following: Deathslinger and Plague.
In addition, the hated hatch (Hatch) is being overhauled and will relieve a lot of pressure off the killers.
The Plague is getting even more toxic
The Plague is getting a few improvements aimed mainly at making her more enjoyable. With this in mind, the developers are planning the following changes:
Survivors interacting with infected objects (generators, pallets, etc.) will get sick faster.
The infection duration of objects has been increased from 35 seconds to 40 seconds.
While the Plague is recovering from her vomit, her movement speed is 3.6 m/s instead of 2.3 m/s.
Survivors healing at the fountain will soon take 8 seconds instead of just 6 seconds.
Additionally, many of the Plague’s addons have been adjusted. With one addon, she can now ensure that her vomit no longer infects survivors, but infected objects remain infected for an additional 40 seconds (thus 80 seconds in total).
The Deathslinger is getting slightly nerfed
The Deathslinger is also receiving a few changes to make playing against him feel fairer. So far, survivors have had little chance to effectively counter him and often can only make wrong decisions, as the Deathslinger can quickly switch between ranged attack and melee attack. This will lead to the following changes:
The Deathslinger can no longer shoot until he is fully in “aiming” mode.
The delay after canceling the aiming will be increased before the Deathslinger can execute a melee attack.
The movement speed of the Deathslinger will no longer be significantly reduced while aiming.
The terror radius of the Deathslinger will be increased to 32 meters.
More news about Dead by Daylight can be found here:
The hatch (Hatch) has long been a controversial system in the game. It is supposed to be just an escape option for the last survivor. However, over the years it has transformed from an option into a guarantee for survivors. Especially after large blood points events, where survivors have accumulated numerous keys, the hatch has always been an alternative.
If a survivor died, the rest of the team could escape through the hatch, even though not all generators were repaired. That will change drastically in the future.
In an upcoming update, the developers plan to make the following changes:
The hatch will no longer spawn when there is more than one survivor in the match.
After the hatch is closed by the killer, it can be opened with a key – this takes a few seconds, however. The progress of opening does not reset.
The achievement “Where did they go?” will be changed, so that you only need to escape through the hatch with the key.
The old hatch will be fairer – no matches will end this early.
These changes eliminate several issues. On the one hand, the hatch is no longer a “free escape” even if not all generators are repaired.
On the other hand, there will be no more cases where one survivor waits at the hatch while the other remaining survivor dies on the hook. The hatch will only appear when the last survivor is truly alone.
In summary, this will provide more opportunities for killers to prevent the hatch and give survivors more incentives to truly cooperate until the last moment.
However, there is still no exact date for when these changes will come.
What do you think of these planned changes? Good ideas or absolute rubbish?

New World has finally launched and comes with a download and patch notes for the release. Since around 7:56 AM, the first players can frolic in the new MMO. We summarize the changes for you on MeinMMO.
What are the most important changes? The new update on September 28 for the release of New World is not particularly large, but has made some important and interesting changes:
The bosses Master Henry, Geist Maliko, and Pastor Walsh – all of whom are needed for quests – respawn almost immediately after their death. This aims to prevent waiting times.
The scaling in open-world PvP has been adjusted so that the difference between high-level and low-level players is not so pronounced. This was heavily criticized in the open beta.
A new “Streamer Mode” has been introduced, allowing notifications and player requests to be permanently hidden.
Inactive company leaders will now be automatically replaced if they have not been online for 15 days.
What problematic bugs have been fixed?
Bugs related to duplicating items have been fixed.
Is there new content? No, the patch notes focus mainly on bug fixes and minor improvements. The content of the game is identical to the last open beta.
The following NPCs have been given the respawn rate for named AI required to complete tasks:
Master Henry
Geist Malikor
Pastor Walsh
Tasks
Fixed a bug that prevented players from progressing in the task “Creeping Corruption” by completing certain side tasks.
Fixed a bug that caused players to lose the heart jewel needed to complete the task “The Ritual” by resetting the task.
Updated tasks from Snoozeimedes to fix a bug where players could leave the expedition midway and hoard quest items for multiple completions of quests.
Tasks of the main story unlocked after the expedition “The Depths” – the main story now leads players to the Broken Mountain.
Bug fixes and optimizations for voice output and text.
Technology
Fixed a bug in the task “Only Survivor” in Windcircle that occasionally prevented the task from updating when approaching the Guardian.
Fixed a bug where the animations of Howe the Unfortunate were not displayed correctly.
AI
Important Bug Fixes
Several bugs fixed that caused the AI not to remain in its correct areas or to appear in invalid areas.
Combat
Important Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused players to get stuck in the “exhausted” status permanently.
Speed hacks are now prevented.
Fixed a bug that caused wars to get stuck in the setup phase.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to receive PvP rewards for duels by drowning after completing the duel.
Fixed a bug that caused the PvP marker to remain active in safe zones when players crossed its boundary with a dodge roll.
Fixed a problem that allowed the ice gauntlet effect “Icy Refreshment” to be activated by other abilities than “Mighty Thorn”.
PvP damage scaling adjusted to narrow the gap between low-level and high-level players.
Economy / Progress / Rewards
Important Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that allowed players to duplicate items with the item quick bar.
Fixed a bug that made Azoth sticks of rank 4 and 5 unavailable.
Fixed an exploit that allowed Talers to be duplicated through the war declaration mechanics.
Fixed a bug that caused the PvP reward value of players not to reset when respawning in a campsite.
Added the “Retreat” function in the game menu, allowing players to retreat to the watchtower at their starting beach. After binding to an inn, the retreat function returns players to that inn.
UX / UI / Social
Streamer Mode
We have introduced a streamer mode that allows players and streamers to hide notifications and avoid interactions with other players to improve their gaming experience.
The streamer mode can be activated as follows:
Slash commands in chat: /busy or /dnd
New “Social” tab in the settings menu
Optimizations and Innovations
The number of days a governor must be absent before being automatically replaced by a consul has been reduced from 30 to 15.
VoIP is now disabled in the first 3 hours after character creation to limit misconduct in voice chat.
Twitch spotlight and Twitch subscriber army features activated.
Important Bug Fixes
Fixed an exploit that allowed players to play PvP missions without the corresponding marking (by exploiting duels).
Fixed an exploit that allowed companies to repeatedly declare war during the cooldown period for invasions (but before the scheduled invasion time) to double the Talers through “refunded” war declaration costs.

New World opens its gates today, on September 28th, and brings at launch no less than 63 servers just for Europe. Some big German and international streamers have already revealed their servers. We show you which streamers are on which New World server.
How do we know this? Through the website StreamersOnNewWorld (via Streamersonnew.world), streamers could register with their channels. They had to provide their name, reach, and origin. Also, the server cluster and the server on which they will be playing New World.
Others can then sort by region, cluster, language or even individual servers and streamer names. Among those who registered are Shlorox, Asmongold, and many more. So you don’t have to search long, we have created a list of the biggest streamers from Germany.
Some international giants have also made it into a second list.
Which streamer plays on which New World server?
Here play German streamers: At the launch of New World, there will be 8 German servers. As expected, the biggest streamers are distributed across a few. The reason for this is that some play together – why this is relevant and dangerous will be explained further down. But to the essentials: Where can you find which German streamers?
German streamers in New World:
Shlorox – Learad
Zander – Utgard
Kamikatze – Vanaheim Nu
metashi 12 – Styx
BeamTwitch – Leared
Jessirocks – Styx
C4mlann – Styx
Sebo – Styx
AresLPS – Ravenal
Entenburg – Ravenal
Selfmadetv – Leared
The biggest international streamers:
StoneMountain64 – Valgrind
Asmongold – Olympus
Powe3rtv – Jotunheim
Fextralife – Hades
AquaFPS – Aztlan
What are New World streamer servers? There is often talk of so-called “streamer servers”. In YouTube comments and Reddit, this often leads to confusion. The streamer servers in New World do not describe a server that belongs to a streamer per se. Rather, it describes a server where the streamer’s faction can quickly gain world control, and probably will.
Which server would it be? Better take a close look!
That’s why you should consider your server choice carefully
What you need to consider: Do you prefer a server filled with streamers and their legions of fans or a moderate server where no thousand-strong army is running around?
This choice should be made carefully. As mentioned above, the experience you have with New World can greatly depend on your choice of server. You may have no chance against a streamer’s faction.
Or you prefer to be part of the large company of the streamer and sweep all your enemies off the battlefield.
When creating a character, you should also be aware that you can only create one character per server cluster. This character will accompany you on your entire journey, from the first quests on the beach to the PvP battles in the endgame.
Where will you play? Do you prefer an empty server, a well-visited one, or even one of the streamer servers? Share your choice with us and tell us what motivated you.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
On September 28, New World will be released, and at launch, there will be 8 different German servers. We will reveal which one most readers of MeinMMO and also we editors will be playing on.
Why is the choice of server important? In New World, you can only create one character per server cluster. With this one character, you level up, explore the world, and engage in PvP with other players.
To get a good overview, we prompted you to tell us your favorite server. We will also announce in this article which server the editors of MeinMMO will start on.
If you are currently looking for a group, company, or simply like-minded individuals regarding New World, you can exchange ideas on our MeinMMO Discord server. There, we have set up a category with new channels.
On our Discord, you can find some channels about New World to exchange ideas.
Your favorite has been renamed, but many are still undecided
Which server are our readers playing on? On September 23, we launched a survey where we wanted to know from you which server you will be playing New World on. At that time, there were only 5 servers instead of the current 8.
Nevertheless, we want to give you an overview, as over 8,000 readers participated in the survey (as of September 27 at 4:00 PM):
2,650 of you voted for the server Elysium, which has since been renamed Learad. That is ~33% of the survey participants.
1,879 readers are drawn to the server Utgard, which is also favored by many streamers. About ~23% voted for it.
466 of you will play on Albraca. That is ~6%.
402 prefer the server Ganzir. That is ~5%
343 are drawn to the server Silpium. That is ~4%
255 decided on another server. That is ~3%
Notably, 2,036 readers at the time of the survey had no preferred server yet. That’s nearly 25% of the participants.
But maybe we can help you with the decision, as we editors of MeinMMO have chosen a preferred server too.
Which server is MeinMMO playing on? We have chosen the server Ravenal, which initially was not an option. It is expected that the streamer Entenburg will also be playing there, with whom we have already recorded some podcasts together.
We look forward to playing with or against you and battling for fortresses.
Will there be a MeinMMO guild? No. Although many of our editors are extremely excited about New World and will play the MMO intensively, we have decided against a community guild.
Two points spoke against it for us: the moderative effort and the fact that a company in New World is relatively small. With thousands (or millions?!) of readers, it’s difficult to work with a membership of 100.
Nevertheless, it makes sense for us to collaborate with our community to form dungeon groups, experience events in the open world, or exchange ideas better. That is why we publicly share our server with you and have also adjusted our Discord accordingly.
Have you decided on which server you would like to play? And maybe it has even become one of the new servers? Feel free to write it in the comments.

In a statement on the platform Twitter, the new MMORPG New World announced that there will be a preload. You can download the game before its release on September 28 at 8:00 AM, so you can start playing right at launch. We will provide you with all the information about the pre-download.
Update 27.9: The pre-download for New World has officially started.
It shows that you need to download 37.33 GB. So, it’s slightly smaller than the previously estimated 50 GB.
Original article:
What is a preload? The preload feature is offered by more and more games. This means that you can usually download the necessary files a few days before the game actually releases.
When the title is released, you can directly start the game of your choice and no longer have to wait for annoying downloads. New World guarantees you that you can be right there when it begins.
This is especially interesting for people with slower internet connections since New World is said to be a whopping 50 GB according to Steam, meaning you’ll be busy with the download for a longer time.
When can you download New World? According to the tweet from New World, the download of the game via Steam will be available on September 27 at 5 PM, exactly 15 hours before the release of the MMORPG on September 28 at 8 AM.
You have exactly 15 hours to download and install the 50 GB before the game starts with 63 servers for the EU region on September 28.
You’ll also get the preload feature if you happen to buy the title after 5 PM on September 27. As soon as you own the game and the preload is active, you can use it. So, it won’t only be players who pre-ordered the game who will have access.
Additionally, you can still receive exciting pre-order bonuses for New World if you purchase the game before it launches. There’s no deadline for that, apart from the release of New World.
What makes New World exciting? The MMORPG stands out with a unique setting on the island of Aeternum, which you must conquer and explore for one of three factions. While doing so, you will encounter an ancient power that turns humans and animals into dangerous opponents and corrupts them.
New World relies on a classless system where you are what you wear. You not only choose from 11 different weapons that suit you, but you can also choose between three armor types. So, if you want to be a heavy-armored fire staff-wielding musketeer, that may not be optimal but is definitely possible.
What do you think about the new MMORPG from Amazon? Have you played one of the betas and pre-ordered the game to use the preload feature? Feel free to share in the comments.
