MeinMMO Quiz: What role in LoL Wild Rift suits you?

In League of Legends: Wild Rift there are different positions that you can play. But which role suits you? We have created a small personality quiz for that.

What is this about? On December 10, the beta of Wild Rift started in Europe. However, it is particularly difficult for newcomers to figure out which position they should choose.

In this quiz, we will ask you various questions that include both general traits and your gameplay behavior. The result will be a role that might suit you, such as Support, Assassin, or Mage.

The quiz is meant to give you just a small insight and can, of course, also be taken by people who have already discovered a fixed position for themselves. If you are looking for guides to Wild Rift alongside the quiz, you will find some useful tips and explanations here:

How does the quiz work? To find out which role suits you best, you need to answer 8 questions in the tool below. This quiz is a personality quiz. This means there are no right or wrong answers.

Each answer awards one point to the 5 different roles. In the end, these points will be added up, and you will receive your result.

Keep in mind that you cannot undo your answers once they have been submitted. If you want to change your choice, you need to reload the page, and the quiz will start over.

Post in the comments what results you have received!

Have fun!

Leak shows new feature in Pokémon GO that will save you a lot of time

A new leak in Pokémon GO promises to reduce an actual time sink. Sending Pokémon should be made even easier.

This feature is about: The leak from the Pokeminers (via reddit) shows the sending of legendary and mythical Pokémon. Until now, only regular monsters and costumed Pokémon could be sent collectively. Legendary and mythical Pokémon had to be sent individually.

Now this annoying problem is supposed to be solved. At least the Pokeminers have found corresponding text files in the code of Pokémon GO.

Mass sending saves a lot of time

Why is this feature important? Currently, it’s particularly tedious with the wonder box that brings Meltan. There, you can catch 60 Meltan in an hour during the right event, and you have to click and send each one individually. That alone takes over 5 minutes.

It’s similar with trainers who participate in many legendary raids. After an hour of raiding, it’s quite common to catch over 10 legendary Pokémon, all of which must be sent individually.

If you could actually send legendary and mythical Pokémon collectively, it would save a lot of time – especially for trainers who enjoy raiding or regularly open the Meltan box.

Meltan
Meltan can currently only be sent individually.

What else was found? Another interesting find by the data miners revolves around the eggs. Text files were found that indicate more transparency.

According to the files, there should soon be a system that shows which Pokémon can hatch from an egg.

This could be the answer to the criticism of many trainers. After Pokémon like Kapuno or Geronimatz became extremely rare in eggs following their Shiny introduction, trainers wanted to know how rare some Pokémon are in the eggs. There was a demand for the disclosure of probabilities, as is the case with other loot boxes in other games.

You should keep in mind: So far, this is only data mining and not official information from Niantic. While the data is already in the game files, the developers are not required to activate it. Therefore, you should consider the information with a certain amount of skepticism.

Now there is also reason for joy for trainers collecting XL candies. There is a new method: Here’s how you can now earn XL candies for rare monsters more easily in Pokémon GO.

16-Year-Old Dominates Twitch with Minecraft, Attracts More Viewers than All Others

The 16-year-old British Thomas “TommyInnit” Simons is currently dominating the Twitch charts. He has attracted more simultaneous viewers than any other streamer.

Who is TommyInnit? The streamer primarily showcases Minecraft on YouTube and Twitch. Over the past weeks and months, his channels have grown incredibly quickly. He is currently one of the Twitch streamers with the most subscribers and is significantly leading in simultaneous viewers (via sullygnome, as of January 10, 2021).

Tommy is just 16 years old and wins over audiences with his honest and somewhat childish nature. He abruptly ended a livestream when he remembered that he had a homework assignment due the next day at school.

Here, tommyinnit quickly ends his stream because he has homework to do.

Hundreds of thousands of viewers and $140,000 per month

TommyInnit is currently this successful: The streamer is currently experiencing an extreme high. This has built up slowly over the past months and is now reaching its peak (via sullygnome):

  • In the last 7 days, he had an average of 224,690 viewers – at peak, there were even 424,048 viewers
  • His streams never last longer than 2 hours – in that short time, he immediately attracts large masses of viewers
  • According to TwitchTracker, he currently has 37,499 subscriptions and is thus currently ranked 5th worldwide – at times, he even had over 40,000 subscribers

Subscribers are what bring streamers a steady flow of money. A sub is supposed to bring streamers between $3.50 and $5 per month. If you multiply that by the 40,000 subs that tommyinnit had at times, then he alone comes to at least $140,000 (about €115,000) per month.

In addition, there is his YouTube channel, which is currently performing exceptionally well. TommyInnit has almost 5 million subscribers, and it’s on the rise. He just broke the 4 million subscriber mark at Christmas. His recent videos all had over 3 million views, some even over 10 million views.

Why is the streamer so successful? The streamer is young and thus primarily appeals to the similarly young Minecraft players. The young viewers can identify with him, as he often talks about his school and the stress there.

Furthermore, TommyInnit’s environment is right. He often plays with the Minecraft YouTuber Dream, who has an incredible reach. Dream has a YouTube channel with over 15 million subscribers and runs a Minecraft server where he experiences crazy things with numerous friends.

However, Dream is currently facing criticism. He is accused of cheating in his Minecraft speedruns, which made him successful. TommyInnit hasn’t faced such criticism so far. You can find more information about the allegations against Dream here:

GTA Online: Grab 202,000 $ in 3 minutes now

In GTA 5 Online, you can quickly earn 202,000 GTA Dollars with just two races. We show you the races here and give tips on how to earn the money quickly.

Through the bonus races in GTA Online, you can earn a lot of money in a short time. This week, the time trial at the casino and the RC Bandito race in Cypress Flats are active.

Both races can be completed in less than two minutes each. We show you where to start them and give tips to help you finish within the given time. Afterwards, a visit to the casino is also worthwhile.

Time Trial at the Casino in GTA Online

How does it work? For this time trial, you only have one minute. It starts right in front of the doors of the Diamond Casino & Resort. We from MeinMMO have successfully completed the race several times. Based on our experience, the motorcycle Shotaro is particularly well suited here. It handles the tight corners without problems and arrives at the finish on time.

How to unlock the Tron Bike “Shotaro” in GTA Online can be found here.

GTA Online Casino Target

We have created a guide for you that highlights the entire track of the time trial with its pitfalls. If you follow our tips, you will quickly reach the finish and earn 101,000 GTA Dollars.

GTA Online: Guide for the Casino Time Trial

RC Bandito Race Cypress Flats

How does it work? On the world map, in the area of Cypress Flats, you will find the symbol of the purple remote control. Here you will find the time trial for the RC Banditos. These are the small remote-controlled cars.

Anyone who has unlocked these can participate in this time trial and secure another 101,000 GTA Dollars. The time here is more generous. You have 1 minute and 30 seconds to successfully complete the race.

GTA Online RC Bandito Cypress Target

The big difference is that here you compete with the small cars instead of your roadsters. A few tips for that:

  • The number of arrows at the checkpoints indicates the tightness of the curve – 1 arrow is a loose curve, 2 or 3 arrows are tight curves
  • Avoid accidents and orient yourself based on the curve degrees
  • The small racers can also take tight corners at higher speeds, but watch out for bumps so you don’t flip over

So for both races, you need a total of not even 3 minutes. Everyone should take this opportunity. The races are not particularly difficult and are a cool change.

Paragon R at the Casino

What is it? If you are already active in GTA Online, why not quickly visit the casino? Here, the Paragon R is on the podium and can be won by you with a good spin on the lucky wheel.

Players claim to have found a tactic to supposedly always win the podium vehicle in GTA Online’s casino.

GTA Online Casino Paragon R
The Paragon R – The winning vehicle this week

Normally, the Paragon R in the non-armored version costs 905,000 GTA Dollars at Legendary Motorsports. So with a good spin, you can receive a valuable win.

On the list of the fastest cars in GTA Online, the Paragon R is not listed.

Genshin Impact: Ganyu is coming next week – Here is what you should definitely farm beforehand

On January 12, the current banner for Albedo in Genshin Impact ends. Shortly thereafter, the 5-star character Ganyu is expected to be released. We will tell you what you should farm in advance to prepare perfectly for Ganyu.

Who is Ganyu? The new character in Genshin Impact is the secretary of Qixing and is already over 3,000 years old. She is an eager person and her greatest hobby is her work. She possesses the following attributes:

  • Element: Cryo
  • Weapon: Bow
  • Constellation: Sinae Unicornis

You can find detailed information about the character and abilities in our overview of Ganyu.

What should you farm now? Every new character wants to be equipped with weapons, artifacts, and materials for ascension. We will tell you what you need for Ganyu and how to obtain the materials and equipment.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2_uEfXpbjQ

How to Get Ganyu

To unlock the character, you need to purchase the new banner for Ganyu. This costs either real money or Primogems. There are various farming methods to obtain Primogems:

Lastly, you need some luck. Unlocking new 5-star characters can take numerous attempts. Even with characters with guarantee, it could take up to 28,800 Primogems or about 375 Euros in the worst case.

The Best Weapons for Ganyu

Ganyu uses a bow as her weapon. The best bows currently are Amos’ Bow and Skyward Harp. But luck is also needed when drawing from wishes.

If you want to play it safe, you can use Prototype Crescent or Favonius Warbow. These are two bows that you can obtain without spending real money. The Warbow is even available as a reward for completing the story.

These Artifacts are Worth It for Ganyu

If you want to get the most out of Ganyu, you should check out the Blizzard Strayer set, which is perfect for Cryo characters:

  • 2-piece bonus: Increases Cryo damage by 15%
  • 4-piece bonus: Increases Crit rate against enemies affected by Cryo by 20%, and by another 20% against frozen enemies

The artifacts were released together with the new area “Dragonspine” in Patch 1.2. You can farm them at the top of the mountain in the Peak of Vindagnyr domain. You unlock this by playing through the story.

Genshin Impact Ganyu
This is the new character Ganyu in action.

Materials for Ascension

To later ascend Ganyu, you need various materials:

  • Qingxin flowers can be found in high places and on mountains. It is best to use the interactive map to find them. You just have to disable all markers and select the third plant.
  • Shivada Jade is best farmed from the Cryo bosses, Fluxflower, on the east coast of Mondstadt.
  • Flux Nuclei can also be obtained from the Fluxflowers.
  • The Vaniloqua Nectar and Luminous Nectar can be obtained from the Vaniloquas.

In addition to these items, you should also set aside “A Hero’s Wit” for experience points and Mora. Then you will be perfectly prepared for Ganyu’s arrival.

If you want to unlock something new right now, hurry up. For a limited time, there is a free pet that MeinMMO author Benedikt Schlotmann really wants:

Would you play an MMORPG without quests?

Quests are now essential in modern MMORPGs. Or are they? How would you feel about an MMORPG completely without quests?

The concept of quests is as old as the RPG genre itself and was often used during the early “Pen and Paper” rounds of Dungeons and Dragons.

Together with their companions, players received a task from the Game Master, a quest, which could take various forms:

  • Eliminate the gang of robbers that is terrorizing the area
  • Defeat the great monster threatening a village
  • An important item has been stolen. Retrieve it
  • A mysterious disease is spreading in the town. Find a cure
  • The princess has been kidnapped!

The list can go on endlessly. As the RPG genre expanded into MMORPGs, the well-known concept of quests was also employed here.

This is the problem: However, quests in MMORPGs often face criticism. Especially “fetch quests” are often unpopular among players and are seen as cheap fillers. These are quests that keep players occupied with relatively trivial tasks.

These include timeless classics like: “Bring me 50 more wolf pelts” or “Kill 200 orcs in this area”. They are tasks that do not promise hours of fun and excitement.

dnd phandelver rulebook
Even in DnD, players received tasks and quests from their Game Masters. There, however, bringing enormous amounts of items to NPCs was rather rare.

However, they often provide sufficient rewards in the form of EXP and money, making players want to or even have to do them, as otherwise leveling up progresses slowly.

Accordingly, players often wish for quest design in MMORPGs to be reworked and made more exciting. But how would you feel about an MMORPG completely without quests? Would you play such a game?

Are quests perhaps an outdated concept that has no place in modern MMORPGs anymore? Or are quests still indispensable? What do you think makes good quests? Vote and let us know in the comments!

Update: 01/13/2021 – The survey is closed.

Pro in CoD Warzone says: Overpowered DMR 14 will be nerfed again

The nerf of the DMR 14 is currently the big topic in CoD Warzone. The pro player Nickmercs, however, does not view the nerf as too weak negatively. He believes that another nerf will come.

This is the state of the DMR 14: With the introduction of the weapons from Cold War into Warzone, the DMR 14 has taken on an overpowering role. It dominated Warzone and was simply too strong.

Now the nerf has come and the DMR 14 has been slightly weakened. For many players, however, the nerf was too little. The weapon is still strong and continues to dominate.

Pro says: DMR 14 will get another nerf

This is what Nickmercs said: The streamer and pro of Call of Duty sees something positive in the nerf. He believes that the DMR 14 will receive another nerf.

He says: ‘Here is the good news, if a weapon takes over Warzone and gets a nerf, and that doesn’t do much, history shows that another nerf will come and it will be 100% devastating.’

From minute 0:37 Nickmercs talks about the positive aspects of the nerf.

Nickmercs believes that another nerf will be significantly more devastating and that the weapon will be weakened to the point where it plays no role in the meta.

In his video, where he discusses another nerf of the DMR 14, he even bids farewell to the weapon. Nickmercs is firmly convinced that the weapon will soon no longer be as strong.

How likely is a second nerf? It is quite conceivable that the developers will implement another nerf. So far, the damage of the DMR 14 has been reduced, but according to experts, the accuracy has even improved somewhat.

The criticism of the weapon is therefore still considerable and the developers could focus on the precision that makes the DMR 14 so strong in a further nerf. This could appease nerfed players, but at the same time the weapon could become so weak that it plays no role in the meta.

So far, this is just a theory from Nickmercs and not official information. The coming days will show whether the developers are satisfied with their nerf so far or if they will make adjustments.

Which weapons are currently strong in Warzone and what the appropriate setups look like, you can find out here:

ESO as the first MMORPG – A beginner shares his experiences

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is already many years old. Nevertheless, new players keep starting with the game. We at MeinMMO had one of them in an interview, and ESO is even his very first MMORPG.

The Elder Scrolls Online is considered an MMORPG, but it is not one in the traditional sense. ESO takes place in the same universe as the older Elder Scrolls titles and follows in their footsteps. The game focuses not only on group content, as is usual in an MMORPG, but also on plenty for solo players. ESO is among the best MMOs for solo players on the market.

The game was released in April 2014 for PC and in June 2015 for consoles PS4 and Xbox One. Since 2020, ESO has been available for Stadia. A lot has happened in these years, as three players with over 9,000 hours of playtime reported in an interview.

Nonetheless, it still happens today that new players dare to tackle the very extensive game. One of them is Sascha, who told us in the interview how he finds his way in his first MMORPG, why it had to be ESO, what challenges he faces, and what excites him.

The Elder Scrolls Online leads you into the fantasy world of Tamriel.

What made you start with an MMORPG?

Sascha says: Sascha has always been very interested in MMORPGs. This is probably due to his passion for role-playing games: “I love to immerse myself in mystical and magical worlds.” Furthermore, for him, playing with other interested people has its own charm.

I wanted to connect with other people, trade, fight, quest together, exchange experiences, or simply meet like-minded individuals.

He does not play ESO alone. He wanted a game that he can play with his girlfriend. And since they are both RPG fans, they ultimately chose the MMORPG ESO.

Why did you choose ESO?

Sascha says about the TES series: The reason it had to be ESO has to do with Sascha’s gaming past. He had previously played Morrowind on PC and later Skyrim. He spent hours in it: “Sometimes even in the character editor, just to think about which race I wanted to play.”

Years later, he switched to console, but purchased Skyrim again, this time in the Legendary Edition.

The Elder Scrolls has been a name I recognized early on. Additionally, I always found the different installments to be very well done and very atmospheric role-playing games.

Sascha says about MMORPGs: Sascha believes that the entire MMORPG genre is strongly shaped by WoW and became well-known because of this brand.

Accordingly, I often looked at getting a gaming PC to venture to Azeroth [WoW], but ultimately always decided against it. I am and always will be a PlayStation kid.

The road to ESO led Sascha first through the free-to-play MMORPG Neverwinter, which did not captivate him. Ultimately, he came to ESO, where his girlfriend already had the base game but had never played it: “So the optimal moment came to enter online Tamriel.”

Moreover, he was already familiar with Elder Scrolls from older installments. So he knew what to expect and what quality of a role-playing game he could count on: “From there it all went very quickly: bought, downloaded, and started playing.”

Do you prefer to play alone or in a group?

Sascha says: As mentioned above, he usually plays with his girlfriend. When he is not exploring Tamriel with her, he plays alone. However, he has been a member of the German guild “lvl up” for some time and is thus no longer completely solo.

For dungeons, he uses the handy activity search: “So far, I’ve never really had problems with missing teammates or not receiving help and support.”

ESO Mondjägerfeste Dungeon Wolf
A very popular dungeon in ESO is the Moon Hunter Keep.

How regularly do you play ESO?

Sascha says: Sascha plays nearly every day, “Even if sometimes just for the dailies, meaning: doing riding lessons, completing crafting quests, and securing event tickets during events.”

As he is a newcomer to ESO, he cannot yet make long-term forecasts. However, he enjoys logging in and playing regularly: “Depending on mood and state of mind, the tendency will fluctuate upwards or downwards.”

This is Sascha’s character: He opted for a Magicka Sorcerer at the beginning. As a race, he chose Khajiit: “Why? Well, I love cats and magic.”

How beginner-friendly do you find ESO?

Sascha says: ESO offers a tutorial that explains the most important mechanics. Additionally, the game regularly provides hints and tips, which can be turned off if one does not want them. Overall, there is really nothing to complain about.

Moreover, in my opinion, ESO has been ported quite well to console. The menus are neither cumbersome nor fiddly, the controls work well and are rather simple. I believe Zenimax has really done a great job here.

Only the flood of quests, tasks, optional activities, and events sometimes drives newcomers to despair. However, Sascha does not want to voice any real criticism in this regard, because what would be the alternative: “If there were fewer tasks, quests, and activities, ESO would lose its diversity and rich variety. And I am sure that no one really wants that!”

What do you find the hardest in ESO?

Sascha says: Besides a few world bosses that one desperately tries to defeat alone, he finds everything in ESO suitable.

The level is scaled accordingly by the game, there is a search function for activities for the lazy, plus guild traders and guild stores, where buying and selling works really well. Overall, ESO always offers a way to move forward.

And should one really not know how something works, there is still the great ESO community that is truly helpful. Sascha has often experienced this firsthand. He always finds helpful players who assist him “or even truly hold his hand.” Sascha is very grateful for that.

In his opinion, the proportion of friendly players in ESO clearly prevails. However, he still has something to criticize about ESO:

Only the performance on the PS4 is sometimes horrific. Crashes, freezes, delays and so on are almost a daily occurrence. When I criticize ESO, I do so solely because of the sometimes truly poor performance.

What excites you the most about ESO?

Sascha says: First of all, ESO is not Sascha’s first experience with an Elder Scrolls title: “Therefore, like all other installments, I am fascinated by the atmosphere and the gameplay itself, into which Zenimax has really put a lot of effort.”

Furthermore, MMORPGs have long interested the role-playing fan. ESO has been appealing for several aspects, such as the backstory with TES or playing together with his girlfriend. One can say that the game itself interested him and also excited him:

Finally, I just find the stories and narratives in ESO amazing. From terrible, sad, bloody, to absurdly comical stories and fates, everything is represented in ESO and is wonderfully told.

Have you considered starting another MMORPG?

Sascha says: “No, I am fully satisfied with ESO and will probably be for a while.” After all, Sascha is still level 36 and admits that he has not yet completed any zone stories.

Sascha has largely had good experiences with ESO and it is to remain not only his first but also his only MMORPG. If you are considering starting ESO, we at MeinMMO have 13 tips to make your start easier. Otherwise, feel free to leave us a comment on how long you have been playing ESO and share your experiences.

One of the best Minecraft speedrunners is said to have cheated – Loses all his records

YouTuber Dream rose to fame with speedruns of Minecraft. Currently, he has over 15.6 million subscribers on YouTube. However, recently, all his records were stripped by the community. He is alleged to have cheated.

What happened? Already in October 2020, another Minecraft speedrunner accused Dream of cheating. While these tweets have since been deleted, it was specifically claimed that Dream obtained rare items too easily.

The suspicion was raised that he might have manipulated the drop rates. Subsequently, the operators of Speedrun.com, a platform for such records, conducted an investigation.

In December, they published a 29-page evaluation of the allegations, which relate not to one, but several of his record runs. They concluded that the chances of the drops, as Dream obtained them, are about 1 in 177 billion. This seemed so unlikely to the operators that the records of the YouTuber were removed from the platform.

How did Dream respond to the allegations? Dream shared his mod folders online following the allegations. However, he had repeatedly made changes himself, so there is no guarantee for this compilation.

Dream responded to the allegations in a video and also found third parties who checked the calculations of Speedrun.com and claimed to have found errors.

The chances were supposedly not as low as the document claimed. Although he has contested the results, his records remain excluded from the leaderboard for now.

Dream got rare items too often

What is the goal of the speedruns? The aim of the speedruns is to complete Minecraft. For this, one must enter the Nether and defeat the Ender Dragon. Good speedrunners accomplish this in less than 15 minutes.

In these speedruns, two items play a particularly important role in reaching “The End,” a special region:

  • The Blaze Rod
  • The Ender Pearl

However, both items are primarily obtained through random drops. The Blaze Rod has a 50% drop chance from certain mobs in the Nether, while the Ender Pearl is obtained quickest in exchange for gold with the Piglins. However, the chance for this is only 5%.

And this is precisely where Dream is alleged to have cheated.

What did the speedrun community discover? Dream is said to have obtained the Ender Pearl 42 times, while he only killed 262 enemies. This increased his average chance to 15%. He received the Blaze Rod 211 times from 305 mobs – a chance of 70%.

This diagram shows how much luck Dream had (blue), how high the actual curve should be (yellow), and how another speedrunner performed (red). The green bar represents an above-average luck of 1 in 1,000. Even above this line, Dream managed to perform well.

Minecraft Speedrun Luck

What makes the whole situation so complex? At first glance, it doesn’t seem so absurd that Dream managed to get so many Ender Pearls with a higher chance. However, when delving deeper into the statistics, such consistent luck is more than unlikely.

While the speedrun community is very confident in their statements, many fans of Dream, in particular, question the results.

Those who want to delve deeper into the case and the topic of probabilities can find an interesting video from YouTuber Karl Jobst here:

What happens now? Both sides have not come to a common opinion, yet they have asked their communities to refrain from negative comments and hate messages towards each other.

However, Dream has immensely benefited from the hype around his Minecraft speedruns. In 2020, over 12 million new subscribers joined. His latest videos are still getting between 20 to 60 million views.

While Minecraft remains very popular and is still widely viewed on YouTube, a spin-off of the game is not faring so well:

Destiny 2 has revealed more about Season 13 than ever before – This is what we already know

In Destiny 2, the yet unnamed Season 13 is set to start on February 9th. However, Bungie has already revealed a lot about weapons, exotics, and strikes. MeinMMO summarizes all the information and also tells you what else is coming for year 4.

Currently, the Season of the Hunt, Season 12, is running in Destiny 2. Since the Hunt on the High Celebrant went live and we tricked Spider, the season has almost spent all its resources. Guardians are asking: what’s next?

Usually, Bungie keeps specific information about the next season under wraps. Last year, it was common for concrete information to be released only a few days before the start of the next chapter. But we already know of many contents for Season 13 and even beyond.

When does Season 13 start in Destiny 2? An official start date is still missing. But we strongly assume that Season 13 will kick off on February 9, 2021.

  • Indeed, that date marks the end of the current season pass—usually one season flows seamlessly into the next.
  • February 9 is a Tuesday, the typical reset day, and it is traditional for new content to arrive on Tuesdays.
  • Thus, the release date seems to be just a formality.
  • Bungie has also not released the name yet. Although data miners claim to have found out more (Ginsor via Twitter), but we will not go into that in this article.

Let’s take a look at the confirmed contents.

Activities in the Cosmodrome coming in Season 13

These strikes are coming: With Beyond Light, the Cosmodrome on Earth made its return. However, the location is currently significantly smaller than in Destiny 1 – this is set to change in Season 13.

2 strikes will expand the Cosmodrome:

  • “Fallen S.A.B.E.R.” sends the Guardians into an underground laboratory against a massive Shank
  • “The Devil’s Cave” is the hideout of a Fallen Servitor

The two strikes are familiar to veterans from Destiny 1. We assume that the missions will be slightly revised – just like the “Will of Crota” strike in Beyond Light is now called “Fallen from Grace,” and instead of facing the Screaming Omnigul, we will be up against another witch (Navôta).

It is also quite likely that the Cosmodrome will be generally expanded. Until now, Guardians had little reason to visit the location—certainly because the focus is on the brand new DLC location Europa. The “Infested Lands” from Rise of Iron are, on the other hand, highly unlikely to return.

Loot: 6 new weapons, 3 classics and 3 exotics are already confirmed

Destiny 2 currently suffers from a lack of loot. To address this and tackle the weapons retirement, these toys have been confirmed for Season 13:

  • 6 new legendary weapons are set to make core activities more attractive. Strikes, Gambit, and the Crucible will each receive 2 previously unknown weapons. Therefore, the 3 current weapons, Xenoclast VI (strike shotgun), Stars in the Shadow (PvP pulse rifle), and Fan Favorite (Gambit grenade launcher) will be expanded.
  • 3 newly designed legendary weapons will join the loot pool of the Nightfall: the Palindrome (hand cannon), the Swarm (LMG), and Shadow Price (auto rifle). These guns were popular in Destiny 1 and will receive new perks and stats.
  • For the really hardcore Guardians, there’s a master version of the 3 guns, but these will only come from the Nightfall: Trial by Fire on the leaderboard.
  • 3 new exotic armors are coming to the game with Season 13. Nothing is known about abilities or names. We only know that you will loot these from the legendary Lost Sectors. This challenging activity from Beyond Light is well received by Guardians and forces players to engage with their builds.
  • Bungie also announced that you will be able to buy more weapons from past seasons at the exotic kiosk. This includes in Season 13 the PvP tyrant Felwinter’s Lie and the two exotics Whisper of the Worm and Perfected Outbreak.

Joe Blackburn also announced that more will finally be done for PvP fairness: Protection against DDoS attacks is announced for Season 13.

Find out more about the announced weapons and changes in a separate article on MeinMMO:

What about the story of the new season and what’s coming next?

For months, we have known that we will confront the Witch Queen Savathûn at the end of year 4. The major fall expansion of 2021 appropriately carries the name “Witch Queen”.

The story is already being developed, as in Season 12, the witch Xivu Arath obstructs us—the sister of Savathûn and also the sister of Oryx himself.

This is likely: During the last month of Season 12, Bungie will not pull off an epic battle against Xivu Arath. With the victory over the High Celebrant, we have defeated her champion—the fight against the Hive Goddess herself will likely take place in Season 13.

Thus, Bungie is adopting a story arc akin to a TV series.

  • At the end of Season 11, Nokris, the son of Oryx, posed as the puppet of Savathûn – the great puppeteer in the background is now known.
  • Before the showdown occurs, protagonists will have to deal with a host of henchmen while revealing more of the overlord’s plans.
  • The course is clear, and everything has a common tone (finally a common thread in the Destiny story). Unlike the seasons of year 3, which were more separate adventures that only loosely connected.
  • It is also speculated that the Cabal will either play a significant role at the end of Season 12 or in Season 13. Players are still waiting for this scene from the trailer:
Zavala Kabal Osiris Beyond Light Season 12 Destiny 2
Osiris, Zavala, and the Cabal working together?

This is what else is happening in year 4 of Destiny 2

This is already confirmed: Here’s a brief overview of the information we have about future content for 2021 in Destiny 2:

Keep in mind that we do not yet know anything about seasonal weapon exotics, activities from the season pass, or secrets that are likely to also be present in Season 13.

What do you think about knowing more about the future of Destiny 2 already than you did last year? Some players even believe that they already know where the next major DLC will take place: If players are correct, you’ll be hunting a witch in Chicago in 2021

You can now earn XL Candies for rare monsters more easily in Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, you can now earn XL candies in a new way. This is especially worthwhile for rare Pokémon, where these candies are particularly in demand.

What’s new: On reddit, trainers have shared a new method for obtaining the coveted XL candies: by feeding Pokémon in gyms.

There, an XL candy is now expected to be occasionally issued. This is particularly interesting for rare Pokémon, for which it was previously difficult to obtain XL candies.

The new method to earn XL candies

What you should know about the new method: In general, feeding Pokémon occasionally yields a regular candy as a reward. Now, there should also be XL candies available through feeding.

However, keep in mind that the chance of receiving a regular candy when feeding is already quite low. Thus, the chance of an XL candy is likely not better. You will need many berries and some luck to receive XL candies.

What you should do now: Even though the chance of getting XL candies through feeding is low, you should take advantage of this method of candy acquisition.

So primarily place rare Pokémon in gyms for which you’d like to receive XL candies and feed them several times a day. This way, you might get a few XL candies with some luck.

Why the new method is so good: By feeding Pokémon in gyms, you can especially obtain XL candies from the monsters that are otherwise very rare.

So far, these candies are only obtainable through hatching and catching Pokémon. Monsters like Milza or Kapuno are hardly hatched or caught. So the chance of many XL candies is low. Now you can at least receive a few XL candies for such Pokémon.

You should have chances for XL candies from Kaumalat at the next event in Pokémon GO. However, trainers already have doubts about that:

Fortnite brings a skin for one of the biggest streamers on Twitch

In Fortnite there will soon be the next skin of a popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber. TheGrefg will be part of the Icon Series of Fortnite.

It has been announced: The Spanish streamer and YouTuber TheGrefg is getting an exclusive skin in Fortnite. This character in the game will be inspired by the content creator and will be part of the Icon Series.

The series of Fortnite has already brought some outfits from famous gaming personalities in the past:

All information about TheGrefg’s skin

What does the skin look like? A detailed image has not yet been released. On Twitter, TheGrefg has only revealed that the skin will be presented on January 11. There is also an image showing the outlines of the character:

This is interesting: Already on January 15, 2020, Epic Games announced the Icon series for Fortnite. At that time, the Ninja skin was released immediately.

There was also an image of two additional logos that were meant to provide hints about upcoming skins. These were the symbols for Loserfruit and TheGrefg. Loserfruit received her character in June, but TheGrefg’s outfit has remained missing until now. Now there is a sign of life and a soon-to-be release – but only a year after the initial announcement.

Who is TheGrefg? This is one of the largest Spanish content creators. On Twitch, he ranks 14th among the most-watched streamers worldwide in the last 90 days. On YouTube, he has nearly 16 million subscribers.

Among the Fortnite streamers, he is even bigger. No other streamer on Twitch averages as many viewers while streaming Fortnite as TheGrefg.

In the colorful and vibrant shooter, there are plenty of outfits that vary in rarity. We show you here a list of the rarest skins in Battle Royale:

We asked 1,300 WoW players: Should the evil Sylvanas become good again?

Our reader Annika Hadlak on Facebook suspects that there is something much bigger behind the whole story. After all, Sylvanas has been planning for much longer than many players even realize:

I believe that Sylvanas has had something going on since Legion and only assumed the role of Warchief to pursue this plan better. Not to mention that the old Loa of Death was responsible for Sylvanas’ appointment to Warchief. When viewed under that aspect… honestly, Sylvanas was never evil.

Why is this a bad idea? There is also criticism of the idea of making Sylvanas a heroine. This comes from both Alliance and Horde players. MeinMMO reader Desten 96 believes that Sylvanas has harmed the Horde too much to deserve redemption. Reader Kyriae also views the development critically:

No matter what Blizzard does, for me as an Alliance player, they can only lose and I will hate the story because it always has the sour undertone of (Horde) fan service.

If they make Anduin a villain, that’s what the Horde players desire. If they turn the female Hitler-lookalike into a good character, that’s not only a slap in the face for Alliance players, but also a mockery of the victims [of Teldrassil]. In my eyes, I might be a bit radical, but someone who has committed genocide should NEVER be a hero.

The emotions that Sylvanas displays in the new cinematic are extremely ambiguous. On the one hand, she threatens Anduin with the same gestures that the Lich King Arthas once displayed and even holds a Wrathblade in her hands. On the other hand, she hesitates to strike Anduin down immediately.

How the story ends will likely not be revealed for several weeks. In the meantime, it’s worth visiting the Twisted Corridors, as you can get a new mount that even works in the Maw.

In a new cinematic from World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, the “evil” Sylvanas Windrunner suddenly appears hesitant. Her behavior suggests that she might be undergoing a transformation. We asked you for your opinion on the development and you voted quite decisively.

What was it about? Shortly before the opening of the Torghast’s Twisted Corridors, dataminers found a new cinematic featuring Sylvanas and Anduin. In it, Sylvanas hesitates to kill the young king.

You can now watch the cinematic in the game itself. To do so, you need to unlock the Twisted Corridors and defeat Graf Denathrius in Nathria. You will then receive a short quest line from Bolvar to follow the developments in Torghast.

There, she displays something resembling compassion or “humanity” (as far as it applies to a high elf). Many players speculated, based on her hesitation and behavior, about a “redemption arc” for the Banshee Queen.

Here is the corresponding cutscene.

This means that she would undergo a transformation – from the cunning war criminal, responsible for genocide and a massive war, to a “redeemed” hero. We asked you whether you want a “redemption arc” for Sylvanas.

Here are the numbers: A total of 1,321 MeinMMO readers voted. Each had only one vote to cast. This is how the distribution looks:

  • I think it’s good: 63%
  • I don’t like it: 26%
  • I don’t care: 11%

Almost two-thirds of you want a “good” Sylvanas, a heroine. There are various reasons for this – and not everyone agrees.

Sylvanas as a heroine – Why you want a “redemption arc”

Why Sylvanas deserves a change: The story of Sylvanas Windrunner is one of the oldest in World of Warcraft. She has been contributing to the storyline for years, and the current development is, for many of you, a sign that her story continues.

For that reason alone, she should not end as a “villain.” And since she is known for her deception, it fits well that many currently see her as such, as MeinMMO reader N0ma writes:

I think it’s likely, à la Darth Vader. That way, you would have showcased Sylvanas critics under the premise: story not heard all the way to the end.

Our reader Annika Hadlak on Facebook suspects that there is something much bigger behind the whole story. After all, Sylvanas has been planning for much longer than many players even realize:

I believe that Sylvanas has had something going on since Legion and only assumed the role of Warchief to pursue this plan better. Not to mention that the old Loa of Death was responsible for Sylvanas’ appointment to Warchief. When viewed under that aspect… honestly, Sylvanas was never evil.

New map in CoD Cold War will be huge – First images show the extent

In Call of Duty: Cold War, the new map Sanatorium will be released soon. A leaker has now shown the first images of the map, which illustrate its size.

This is the new map: The map named “Sanatorium” will be released with the mid-season patch on January 14. The map is for the Fireteam mode. A total of 80 players will play, so it needs to have a certain size.

So far, there is officially little information and images about the new map. However, a data miner has leaked further images showing different locations and hinting at the full extent of the map.

Images show the new map Sanatorium

These are the leaks: The data miner “Declassified” has released 22 images in total. They are said to all be from the new map Sanatorium. Here is a selection for you:

https://twitter.com/DeclassifiedCOD/status/1347428987430187008
https://twitter.com/DeclassifiedCOD/status/1347431675018543104

You can find the further images on Declassified’s Twitter account.

What do the images tell us? The new map seems to be huge. There are various places where you can take cover and large areas for long-range battles.

There are small houses that promise close quarters combat. However, there are also large buildings where players can fight each other in long corridors.

Additionally, there are large green areas, bridges, and squares where players can meet in open spaces.

You must consider this: So far, this is a leak and not official images from the developers. Therefore, you should view the information with a degree of skepticism.

In the past, the data miner Declassified has released some leaks that turned out to be true. The current images look like they actually came from the game.

Not only in Call of Duty: Cold War are there new things to discuss. In Warzone, the overpowered weapons have been nerfed. We will show you what effects this has:

Twitch brings back the popular emote ‘PogChamp’ – Even better than before

Twitch removed “PogChamp” from chats because the “face” behind it had incited violence. Now the popular emote is making a return, but with a special twist. The face is supposed to change every 24 hours.

What is the new idea? After Twitch announced the removal and reworking of PogChamp, there were suggestions on all social media about what a new emote could look like.

The well-known streamer Day 9 suggested that there could be multiple versions of PogChamp, allowing Twitch users to choose the face of their favorite streamer.

Twitch picked up this suggestion but adjusted it somewhat. Instead of offering various permanent emotes, there will be a new PogChamp every 24 hours for the time being. How long this action will last is currently unknown.

Twitch brings a positive streamer as the new face, relieving pressure from him

What was the first new PogChamp? The first version of the emote comes from Kenny “UnRoolie” McWild. He threw his hat into the ring himself after PogChamp was banned.

UnRoolie is not one of the big-name streamers. He currently has 62,248 followers on Twitch. For comparison: The largest German streamer MontanaBlack has 3.21 million followers.

However, he has made it his mission to make Twitch a better platform and to foster a more positive community. With his calm demeanor, he managed to reach a peak of 19,942 concurrent viewers in 2020 (via Sullygnomes).

Who will be the next face of the emote is currently unknown. However, some streamers and viewers of streamers have already commented many funny facial expressions under Twitch’s tweet.

Why is the rotation so clever? Through the rotations, Twitch takes the pressure off the new face of the emote. Whoever would have become the new face would likely have had to deal with backlash from fans of the old emote and fans of the streamer gootecks, who was previously the face.

By rotating, the pressure is taken off the whole situation for now, and different streamers can temporarily be the face of the emote. Eventually, Twitch will make a permanent change, but until then, the aggressive atmosphere will likely have calmed down.

The original face incited violence

Why was PogChamp even removed? In the USA, on January 6, some protesters and Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. This led to unrest and even fatalities.

The streamer gootecks, the original face of the emote, referenced the situation at the Capitol in a tweet. In it, he asked whether there would be civil disobedience because a woman was “executed” while entering the Capitol. Some saw this as an indirect call to violence, including the operators of Twitch.

Twitch then removed the emote but promised a return. The new idea with the rotations is seen as very positive by many.

PogChamp is not the first emote to be removed by Twitch. In 2020, a whole series of emotes related to the topic of “Simp” were also affected:

What is Need for Speed Heat? Need for Speed Heat, like its predecessor Payback, focuses on fast street racing and police skirmishes. After Payback, police chases are back in the game.

Why the game is worth it: Need for Speed Heat offers you plenty of vehicles and numerous opportunities to improve or customize your cars. The game world is extensive, offering many missions and tasks. The police chases are entertaining and fun, and the game also features a successful voice acting.

The colleagues from GamePro refer to NFS Heat as “the best Need for Speed of recent years.”

What is less successful: The driving physics are simplistic, evident especially in the drifting of vehicles. The story is trivial, and the characters are interchangeable and superficial. However, the biggest issue is the balancing. Even online, you can participate in events with heavily tuned vehicles, leaving no chance for you or others.

Who is the game suitable for? If you found the predecessor Payback entertaining, you will also have a lot of fun with Heat. Tuning fans will also get their money’s worth with the many different vehicles.

Pros
  • many different vehicles
  • numerous tuning options
  • good damage model and destructible game world
  • large and extensive world
  • good German localization
  • fun police chases
Cons
  • simple driving physics (odd drifting)
  • much grinding needed for story missions
  • interchangeable, superficial characters
  • fluctuating balancing both offline and online

Where can you buy Need for Speed: Heat? Currently, you can find the game on offer at Otto. Here, the game currently costs €29.99 (€69.99), a 57% discount.

Here are lightsabers!

What is Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order? The story takes place between Episodes 3 and 4. You take on the role of Jedi student Cal Kestis who survived Order 66. Now you are on the run from the Galactic Empire.

Why the game is worth it: Respawn Entertainment has done a great job with the game design: The worlds become increasingly complex as you progress, and the mix of combat and exploration feels great. The design is coherent, which is further enhanced by the fantastic sound and voice backdrop. The enemies are varied, and the game offers four different difficulty levels.

In Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, you also fight very peculiar enemies.

What is less successful: While the graphics look great, the frame rate on the PS4 (Pro) fluctuates significantly. The very linear story also offers little replay value. It’s also a pity that protagonist Cal hardly develops any character depth throughout the game.

Who is the game suitable for? Do you like action games with a fast combat system and Star Wars flair? Then you should check out Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.

Pros
  • great presentation
  • excellent game design thanks to complex worlds and good atmosphere
  • perfect mix of combat and exploration
  • good German voice acting and sound backdrop
  • many and varied enemies
  • four difficulty levels
Cons
  • fluctuating performance on PS4 Pro
  • very linear story with little replay value

What is Red Dead Redemption 2? The latest installment in the western series is once again an action game with a vast, open world. You take on the role of Arthur Morgan, who is on the run with the Van der Linde gang from justice. Rockstar relies on an open and realistic game world and many interaction possibilities. The game also offers a multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online.

Why the game is worth it: Red Dead Redemption 2 offers a huge game world. And Rockstar Games manages to create a very believable game world. You can interact with your environment, animals and NPCs react to you, and many decisions have noticeable consequences.

The story surrounding Arthur Morgan is also convincing. It is well-presented, thanks to quick scene changes, varied gameplay, and a deep protagonist whose goals you can understand. The ending will satisfy you and not leave you clueless.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Schuss Revolver Titel

What is less successful: The game looks great but requires considerable power. Loading times are long, and the PS4 Pro can’t achieve 60 frames per second. It’s also unfortunate that the game offers only one difficulty level. Target acquisition, especially in tight spaces and buildings, also leaves something to be desired.

Who is the game suitable for? If you are looking for a strong action game with a dense atmosphere and an exciting story, then you should check out Red Dead Redemption 2.

Pros
  • huge and believable game world

Battlefield 5 also does not rely on a premium pass for the first time in the Battlefield series; instead, it aims to provide all content for free through Battlefield 5 Tides of War – Live Service.

Genre: RPG | Developer: EA | Platform: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: October 25, 2019 | Model: Buy2Play

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPbrKXda6RI

What is The Outer World? The Outer World is a role-playing game from the developer studio Obsidian Entertainment. The story takes place in an alternate future where large corporations have taken power and influence life. The game offers you a nice science-fiction scenario with real-time combat and plenty of role-playing elements.

What does the game offer? The Outer Worlds offers you a large and colorful game world with a fresh setting. The developers have also placed great value on character development: You can freely create your character at the start and improve them in a role-playing fashion over time. You invest your points not only in attributes but also in numerous skills, which then influence your companions, fights, and quests. Weapons can be modified, and many quests can be solved in various ways, increasing replay value.

The game also delivers plenty of dark humor and good English voice acting. Our colleagues from GameStar recommend The Outer Worlds as an alternative for players who didn’t warm up to Fallout 76.

This is what the city of Fallbrook looks like

What is less successful: The AI of the enemies in the game world has issues. At times, it causes problems in combat, at other times it doesn’t react when you simply walk into foreign houses. The facial expressions of the characters are poorly done, the presentation of the individual tasks varies greatly, and you receive much pointless loot. The console also has some minor issues with textures.

Who is the game suitable for? If you are looking for a comprehensive role-playing game that offers you a lot of freedom and high replay value, then you should give “The Outer World” a chance.

Pros
  • colorful and fresh setting
  • dark humor
  • free character creation and development
  • decisions with consequences
  • good English voice acting
  • high replay value, thanks to many different solutions
  • weapons can be enhanced and modified
Cons
  • enemy AI with issues
  • much unnecessary loot
  • mediocre gestures and facial expressions

TFT talks about Set 5 and 6 – Brings new Turbo mode for players with little time

Riot Games has talked about the future of their games in a video. For Teamfight Tactics, they announced three major new features, including the new sets, tournaments, and a special Turbo Mode.

What’s next for TFT in 2021? In January, Teamfight Tactics will receive the Mid-Season Update Set 4.5. More than 20 new champions and some new attributes will be introduced.

However, Riot plans several new sets for this year, rotating approximately once per quarter:

  • The Set 5 is expected to be released in spring
  • In summer, there will be a Mid-Season Update for Set 5.5
  • Set 6 is expected to be released in autumn

Another highlight is the new Turbo Mode, which is also expected to be released in 2021. It is said to be a simpler and faster version of TFT.

Additionally, work is continuing feverishly on a Spectator Mode, which is intended to be finished in time for the finale of Set 5.

Set 5 refers to events in LoL and Wild Rift

What do we know so far about Set 5? There isn’t a name for the new set yet, but it is already clear that it will have a “Good vs Evil” theme. Players will be tasked with restoring “Balance”.

The story centers around Viego, the fallen king, who will appear as a new champion in LoL in early 2021. The teaser already indicates that champions like Garen, Volibear, Teemo, Darius, and Veigar will be included.

What do we know about Set 6? Nothing has been revealed about Set 6, except that it is expected to be released in autumn. More information will likely be available only after the release of Set 5.

New mode for players with little time

What is the Turbo Mode? While regular matches currently last 30 to 60 minutes – depending on how long one survives – a match in the new mode should be significantly faster. There is no exact time indication yet. Currently, it is speculated that matches will last approximately 10 to 20 minutes.

This is about the same time that the game Chess Rush requires, which has been a good alternative to TFT due to this short duration.

The basic principles of the Turbo Mode are intended to be identical to TFT, only everything is supposed to be a bit simpler and faster.

When will the mode be released? The release is planned for spring along with the upcoming Set 5.

FIFA 21 Headliners Event: The new special cards from Team 2 – featuring Haaland

In FIFA 21 is now Team 2 of the Headliners event released. We at MeinMMO reveal to you which players have received new special cards.

After the first Headliners team was already released last week, fresh Headliners special cards come to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team today.

What are Headliners cards? The special thing about Headliners cards is that they are dynamic. Similar to Ones-To-Watch cards, they improve as soon as the respective player makes it into a Team of the Week or receives another performance-based card.

Additionally, the following should be noted:

  • The Headliners card is always one point stronger than the player’s last Inform card.
  • After 4 consecutive league wins, the Headliners card receives a one-time upgrade.

In selecting the players, EA focuses on football players who showed strong performances in the first half of the season and thus made headlines – “Headliner players”.

When are the new cards available? Since January 8th at 7:00 PM, the new Headliners cards are available in packs. The cards from the first team are no longer in the game.

The cards from the 2nd Headliners Team

These cards are particularly strong: In the second Headliners team, there are some real stars. Among others, Benzema (92), Haaland (89), Son (89), Lozano (87), and Goretzka (87) get really strong cards.

The Bundesliga players are: Players with Bundesliga squads can look forward to strong cards from Haaland (89), Goretzka (87), and Upamecano (84). However, these cards are unlikely to be cheap.

All players from Headliners Team 2:

  • MS: Benzema (92)
  • ST: Haaland (89)
  • LM: Son (89)
  • RF: Lozano (87)
  • LV: Hernandez (87)

  • IV: Diego Carlos (86)
  • ST: Ings (85)
  • IV: Upamecano (84)
  • LF: Toko-Ekambi (84)

When the Headliners event is over, FUT players will wait for the next big promo with the TOTY event. Which players will you vote for?
