In 2021, the adventure in the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) continues on PC, Mac, Stadia, PS4/PS5, as well as Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. A new trailer opens the gates to Oblivion.
What has Zenimax announced? During the Game Awards 2020, the developer studio showed a teaser trailer for the next major story event of the MMORPG ESO, which awaits you in 2021. Gates of Oblivion is the story and takes you to the realms of Oblivion.
What is Oblivion? Oblivion, also known as the Realm of Forgetting, is a dimension that exists outside of Tamriel. Oblivion is divided into several realms, each ruled by Daedric princes. Each realm has its own rules, appearance, and significantly differs from the regular fantasy world in which The Elder Scrolls takes place.
ESO will take you to Oblivion in 2021

What does the trailer show? A young, blonde elf has a nightmare. In this, she sees a dungeon through which she flies. She reaches a fiery platform where a massive creature arises.
It seems to be the Daedric prince Mehrunes Dagon, the ruler of the Deadlands. Meanwhile, the sign of Oblivion burns into the book that the sleeping woman holds in her hands. At the end, we also see the title “Gates of Oblivion”. Everything points to a very dark story.
When have we seen Oblivion before? Oblivion plays a recurring role in the Elder Scrolls RPG series.
As early as The Elder Scrolls: Arena from 1994, Emperor Uriel Septim VII was banished to Oblivion by his court mage Jagar Tharn.
In The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (2002), the hero even confronted Mehrunes Dagon and had to journey to the Deadlands of Oblivion.
The Elder Scrolls 4 (2006) was subtitled Oblivion and revolved around closing the gates that opened from this dimension.
Also, in the MMORPG ESO, the Daedric princes and Oblivion occasionally play a role.
What is special about Oblivion? The realms of Oblivion are so different from Tamriel that completely bizarre adventures are possible here. Zenimax has the opportunity with Gates of Oblivion to go far beyond what we expect from regular fantasy.
Horror elements are possible, madness plays a role. Landscapes that constantly change are conceivable. Creatures that are not what they seem are possible. This could mean a really fresh wind for the MMORPG and offer fans something completely different.
When will we learn more? According to the trailer, a reveal event will take place on January 21, 2021 (even though the video mistakenly mentions the year 2020). On this day, we can expect many new details about the major new story of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online.
This is how the event works: As known from the previous “Icon Swap”, you must complete certain tasks. If you succeed, you will receive Icon Swaps tokens as a reward. You can then exchange these for selected icon cards and pack rewards.
The nice thing is: You can only get icons through playing and do not have to spend any coins. The first tasks take place in friendly matches and Squad Battles. So far, icons are not played for in Rivals.
These icons are available: In Icon Swaps 1, a total of 6 icons are available. They are:
Thierry Henry (90) – Needs 17 tokens
Rijkaard (90) – Needs 14 tokens
Koeman (91) – Needs 13 tokens
Suker (87) – Needs 11 tokens
Hagi (89) – Needs 9 tokens
Vidic (85) – Needs 7 tokens.
Even more great rewards: While fewer icons are directly available compared to previous Icon Swaps, there are also more pack rewards and some of them are really good. Here are some examples:
For 2 swap tokens, you get 2 Ultimate Packs
For 3 tokens, you get a pack with 5 players who have at least 85 overall
For 8 tokens, you get a base icon pack with a random base icon
For 10 tokens, you get 1 pack that contains either a base or mid icon.
For 16 tokens, you get a mid icon pack, where the icon has at least 89.
If you have no interest in any of the 6 direct icons, you can try your luck here. After all, the first Prime Icons are now also included in packs.
This is how Freeze works: The event is based on the contents of the old Futmas event, just without the Christmas flair.
As known from Futmas, there will be daily changing SBCs. Every day, FUT will offer a specific player SBC and a new puzzle SBC. Here, you can exchange players for rewards. Weekly tasks will also be included.
These are the contents of the Freeze event
But that’s not all. There’s also a special Freeze team that has been equipped with new positions and adjusted stats to match. You can find the entire team here in the overview:
This is what the Freeze team looks like
There are some strong cards included. If you’re looking for cards from the Bundesliga, you will find a forward version of Thorgan Hazard and a CDM version of Salif Sané.
In World of Warcraft there is more diversity with Shadowlands – but not in all versions of the game. In China, such characters remain silent.
Even during the beta of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, some players noticed something interesting. One of the characters from the story of Bastion, Pelagos, reveals a little more about his character upon request. Players learn that Pelagos had a female body in life, but appears as a man in the Shadowlands. He is thus the first openly recognizable transgender character in World of Warcraft. However, not in all versions of WoW does Pelagos stand by his story.
In China, Pelagos remains silent.
Pelagos is one of your soulbinds with the Kyrians.
What is it like in China? With the Chinese client, you cannot get this information. There, Pelagos just stands around and has no dialogue options. Players learn nothing about his past or motivations. This is doubly absurd because Pelagos is one of the soulbind characters that are of great importance to the player.
What does Pelagos say in the rest of the world? In the other variants of World of Warcraft – such as the German or English client – Pelagos speaks openly about his background and decision upon request. He feels completely himself for the first time in his new form, and his feelings are in harmony with what others see in his form.
This is, by the way, a recurring theme in Shadowlands. Souls can choose a new appearance in the Shadowlands that does not necessarily correspond to their being in life.
In Ardenweald, for example, it is common to take on the form of an animal that fits Ardenweald. In Maldraxxus, on the other hand, most choose warrior forms and also modify them with additional limbs or bone shields.
Why is this so? In China, extremely strict rules apply to media. Almost always, one must adhere to the instructions of the government. If a game conveys values that the government does not like, media quickly disappears from the scene. This is dangerous for companies, as China is a large and important market that one does not want to upset.
In the Chinese version of WoW, some other content is also missing. For example, there are not the new skin tones for humans, and also – which is a bit ironic – the Asian-looking facial customization options are absent.
Soon, the winter event “The Dawning” will start in Destiny 2. In a fresh, winter trailer, Bungie has now compactly presented what Guardians can expect in 2020 during The Dawning.
What is The Dawning about? The Dawning, also known as “Der Anbruch” in German, is essentially the annual winter event of Destiny 2, which traditionally sweetens the Christmas season for Guardians – this time as part of Season 12.
The Tower of the Last City is then decorated in a festive look. It snows, beautiful lights are hanging everywhere, and there is a festive atmosphere. During the event, Guardians can bake cookies, secure festive loot, or stock up on thematically inspired items from the Eververse.
The festively decorated Tower
The ship from the event
The Dawning armor
One of the festive Ghost shells
The new event weapon Glacioclasm
What does the trailer show? With a new trailer, Bungie has presented a little preview of what to expect during The Dawning in 2020. You can look forward to the following, among other things:
Eva Levante as the contact person for the event. The Destiny Grandma is stationed this year under a particularly elegantly decorated tree in the Tower
New universal armor ornaments in a Christmas design, which Bungie presented early because Guardians donated generously
When exactly does the Dawning event take place? The Dawning will begin on December 15, 2020. The Christmas festivities will last into the new year 2021 – namely until January 5. All Guardians can participate, regardless of optional add-ons like the “Beyond Light” expansion or the Season of the Hunt.
What do you think of the trailer? Does it make you excited for the event? Are you joining in? Or does The Dawning 2020 leave you completely cold?
By the way: Even though things traditionally quiet down around Destiny 2 at the end of the year – the winter event is not the only thing to look forward to in the closing year. What else the action MMO has to offer in 2020, you can find out here: Destiny 2 in December – These contents still await you until 2021

The streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla has been banned on Twitch. The exact circumstances of the ban are still unclear. However, there are already speculations as to why the biggest German streamer has been affected.
Update 7:40 PM: In the meantime, Knossi has been unbanned. The ban lasted just under 24 hours.
This is what happened: On December 10, Knossi was banned on Twitch. This was reported by the website StreamerBans. So far, Knossi has not commented on the ban, but there is already a lot of speculation below the tweet from StreamerBans.
Two events in the last few days are at the center of attention:
On one hand, the rapper Sido spat out a drink live during the Christmas camp on December 6. Some suspect that the “vomiting” had consequences (as seen in this clip on Twitter)
On the other hand, Knossi reacted live on December 9 to a video showing a naked male butt. Nudity is always problematic on Twitch.
Both actions could have caused Knossi’s ban. This was already the 4th ban for the streamer. However, that does not necessarily mean anything if they are often just “small” bans. This can also be seen with the German streamer Papaplatte, who has been banned 7 times in 2020. We will inform you as soon as the exact circumstances regarding Knossi are clarified.

What reason is likely for the ban? Most users on Twitter currently assume that Knossi was banned for reacting to a video that showed a naked butt. This is an excerpt from a show by Stefan Raab.
These so-called reaction streams are very popular but carry the risk of showing something that does not comply with Twitch’s terms of use. After all, streamers want to react live and do not watch the content beforehand.
Who is Knossi? With 1,545 million watched hours in the last 7 days, Knossi ranks 12th among all Twitch channels and is simultaneously the number 1 in Germany (via Sullygnome). However, he does not have the most followers. Here his buddy MontanaBlack is in the lead.
However, he continues to attract celebrities with large formats. He is now well known for his “camps”, which he hosted in summer, on Halloween, and most recently on St. Nicholas’ day. During these events, well-known personalities like Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, Manny Marc, or Sido participated in his live streams.
We at MeinMMO took a closer look at the horror camp for Halloween:
In Pokémon GO you can find Felino on every corner and with a bit of luck its Shiny. The Team Rocket grunts and their attackers have changed as well. What is happening in the game right now?
This has changed: Since the night of Friday, December 11, 2020, surprisingly more Felino appear in the wilds of Pokémon GO. To the great delight of numerous trainers, it is even possible to catch the Shiny version of Felino with a bit of luck.
These changes happened around the same time as the small Rocket event that Niantic announced at the start of the Game Awards.
Felino Everywhere – Also as Shiny
New rotation among the grunts: If you fight against the Team Rocket grunts now, they most likely have a Crypto-Felino with them. This is new.
Additionally, the members of Team GO Rocket are currently appearing significantly more frequently than before. This is due to the current Rocket event. Now is a good time to teach your Crypto-Pokémon other moves than Frustration. You should definitely take this opportunity, as it will only last until Saturday morning at 01:00.
Shiny Felino: Many trainers are now wondering what Shiny Felino and its evolution Morlord look like. You can see them in the following graphic:
How many have been caught already? On Twitter, the Pokémon GO team wrote at around 01:30 on Friday morning that Shiny Felino is now catchable in the game. However, it must have come into the game a little earlier for the counting to add up.
Approximately two and a half to three hours later, the Game Awards team tweeted that trainers had already caught 48.7 million Felino during that time. That would have been more than 285,000 Felino per minute.

When is Regirock coming? Regirock will kick off. It will be in gyms from Saturday, December 12, 2020, at 6:00 AM until Sunday, December 13 at 10:00 PM. So you might want to stop by while you’re playing the Community Day in December.
Regirock overview with CP, type, weaknesses
CP after capture: 1784 CP with perfect IVs at level 20, 2230 CP with weather boost (partly cloudy) at level 25, perfect IVs Type: It is a Rock type. Weak to: Fighting, Ground, Water, Grass, Steel Recommended trainers: At least 4 (with extremely strong attackers), 6-7 to be on the safe side
What attacks does Regirock know?
Stone Edge (Rock) – Fast Attack
Brick Break (Fighting) – Fast Attack
Body Slam (Normal) – Fast Attack
Rock Slide (Rock) – Charged Attack
Focus Blast (Fighting) – Charged Attack
Thunderbolt (Electric) – Charged Attack
Regirock Counter – These Pokémon are strong in battle
With the following attackers, you have a good chance against Regirock in the raid and deal a lot of damage. Here are the top counters:
Pokémon
Attacks
Metagross
Bullet Punch & Meteor Mash
Groudon
Mud Shot & Earthquake
Krookodile
Mud Shot & Earthquake
Mewtwo
Counter & Dynamic Punch
Excadrill
Mud-Slap & Earthquake
Swampert
Water Gun & Hydro Cannon
Lucario
Counter & Aura Sphere
Kyogre
Waterfall & Hydro Pump
Dialga
Metal Claw & Iron Head
Shroomish
Counter & Grass Knot
If you can rely on Mega Evolutions, you will also find several very strong options. These are:
Mega Blastoise with Water Gun and Hydro Cannon
Mega Venusaur with Vine Whip and Petal Blizzard
Mega Gengar with Lick and Focus Blast
Best attackers in weather conditions
Rain: If you participate in a Regirock raid while rain weather is active in Pokémon GO, Kyogre is an even stronger attacker. However, be careful if Regirock knows its Electric Attack Thunderbolt. It will then do more damage. Swampert also benefits from its Water Attacks.
Sun: In sunny weather, Groudon moves further up the ranking of the best attackers. Krookodile also benefits from the weather.
Now you should be well prepared for battle against Regirock. Which attackers do you use in your battle team?
A new trailer has introduced what players can look forward to in Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and CoD Warzone. For the first time, there were also moving images of the new Warzone map Rebirth Island.
With a new trailer, CoD presents the new content in moving images as well. Finally, there is also a first look at the new Battle Royale map Rebirth Island, which will be introduced to Warzone in Season 1. Many have been eagerly awaiting exactly this. After all, a new Warzone map is among the biggest wishes of many players.
You can find the other content of Season 1 in our comprehensive overview on the topic:
This is Rebirth Island: “Rebirth Island” is evidently a revised version of the Battle Royale map “Alcatraz” from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. The map was also subsequently introduced for the first Battle Royale of Call of Duty, the Blackout mode – by the way, also only some time after its launch.
Rebirth Island is said to be somewhat larger than the source material from Blackout, but significantly smaller than the current Warzone map in the area around Verdansk. The map apparently offers a good, compact mix of buildings, open spaces, and winding tunnels.
By the way, Rebirth Island is an additional map for the Battle Royale and is not meant to replace or displace the existing map around Verdansk.
What do you think of the new Warzone map? Are you looking forward to finally jumping into the action there? Do you need to form your own opinion first? Or are you not excited about this new map so far?

Scavengers is a new PvEvP game that combines elements from battle royale, loot shooters, and strategy. The developers invited MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus for a preview of the game, which thrilled him – although, or perhaps precisely because it is a game for the “older folks” in the genre.
What is Scavengers? Behind Scavengers lies a game model that is still relatively unexplored: PvEvP. Up to 60 players compete in teams of three against each other and together in rounds lasting about 30 minutes.
The story deals with a quasi-post-apocalyptic scenario. After the moon was destroyed, the Earth is hardly habitable, and the humans have retreated into orbit, where “Mother,” an AI, watches over them. Mother collects important resources and data from Earth and sends clones to the surface – us.
So we play the image of one of the surviving humans and try to assert ourselves against the adverse conditions, aliens, and mutants on Earth that now populate it, to escape with the collected data.

What makes it so special: Instead of being the last one standing, teams need to gather points. Points are awarded for various activities on the map. They must be brought to an evacuation point at the end of the round. The team with the most points wins.
In Scavengers, we are not just playing against other players, but also with them. Some bosses on the map cannot be completed alone or are difficult to handle without a team, and until a certain amount of resources is gathered, we cannot escape the planet.
Scavengers combines the classic feel of a battle royale with an interesting crafting system both in the rounds and in the meta game. Additionally, it offers PvE content and story. Moreover, Scavengers provides players a selection of heroes with unique abilities and roles.
Fortnite or Warzone – the battle royale aspect
Warframe or Destiny – crafting and loot in the shooter
Rainbow Six – team play and various characters
It plays quite similarly to The Cycle, which I found very exciting, which is still relatively unknown. It is also about points rather than kills, and there is plenty to do in PvE with tasks and materials.
Some enemies are simply too tough for a group alone.
It gives me as much fun as a battle royale without the frustration of biting the dust in the first few seconds and having to restart. Scavengers is slower and more strategic – that’s exactly what I like.
Note: I played an early version of Scavengers and derived my impression from this experience. Much can change by the release.
Scavengers – The “Fortnite for old people”
What does Scavengers have from Fortnite? The battle royale title. More or less, since PvP is not even at the forefront. But before you complain about the comparison: The thought behind it is different.
Fortnite is labeled by many older (or more mature?) gamers as a game for children. And indeed, it is colorful and playful with its comic graphics and many references to current pop culture.
Nevertheless, Fortnite is fun for tens of thousands of players and is one of the most popular games currently on Twitch (via sullygnome). The visuals, mechanics, and content continually excite Fortnite fans.
Scavengers also has this potential, only for an “older” clientele. It requires more planning, teamwork, and offers more opportunities to win a round.
It is battle royale, but it is not battle royale
How much battle royale is in it? In Scavengers, only one team can win. The one with the most points reaches first place and earns the crown for that round.
Additionally, a storm closes in around the map, which grows larger and thus leaves less playable area – just like in a classic battle royale. Scavengers also features the search for weapons and equipment. We start with nothing and first have to find weapons, consumables, grenades, and more.
If desired, one can also go on the hunt for other players and fully experience the PvP. However, the chances of success are relatively low, since Scavengers is still not a “real battle royale.”
What is different? A certain amount of resources needs to be collected. Only when a team possesses a specific amount alone or all teams collectively reach a certain value is evacuation possible.
Points are obtained by collecting data that is spread across the map, mostly guarded by NPC enemies. A tip: bears are REALLY deadly. Often, various materials can also be found at these special locations.
Important data can be found at such crystals, but not without a fight.
These materials can be used to craft items directly in the game, like the special weapon of your respective character, grenades, and more – provided the corresponding level in the round has been reached. Others can be taken from the round to unlock new items in a further crafting menu.
What kind of characters are there? The different playable “Explorers” each have unique abilities and weapons that determine their role. For example, there is Kali, a sharpshooter with a bow who can cloak herself or Halden, who uses a tactical rifle and can heal his team. In our test, seven Explorers were available, and more are set to appear in the future.
Additionally, Scavengers impresses with a survival aspect. We have stamina that is consumed while running and attacking in close combat, which must be replenished with food. On Earth, it is freezing cold, and we need fire or warmth gadgets to stay warm. Storms come into play – not just the big one but also smaller ones. If a smaller storm front sweeps over us during the round, we must seek shelter in ruins; otherwise, it will get very cold very quickly.
Furthermore, Scavengers offers more strategy than I have seen in any battle royale before. As a team of three, one must always weigh:
which target makes sense next
whether and where to risk a fight with other players
which other team to help or whether to betray them and stab them in the back
All this gives Scavengers a dynamic that I miss in Fortnite, Warzone, and other representatives of the genre. It is more tactical, more strategic, and … slower. More pleasant for someone whose 360 no-scope may still work, but who is getting more cumbersome.
My first steps: For the playable test on December 1, there were three of us: GameStar editor Christian Fritz Schneider, myself, and our team captain assigned by the developers, who was playing as “CAP Tilman”.
After a brief small talk in English, we found out that our captain actually comes from near the Lüneburg Heath and decided that we could play in German as well. With the ice broken like that, communication was much more relaxed.
Overall, we played for three rounds, one warm-up round and two that were recorded. Tilman introduced us to the basic mechanics and guided us through the game with a win, a second place, and a defeat, which I actually enjoyed the most.
The icy environment can quickly become dangerous or confusing. Good coordination and communication are important.
How does it play now? As already mentioned, Scavengers is slower. The initial phase lasts about 10-15 minutes, during which weapons and materials are searched, equipment is crafted, and goals are set.
Afterward, it is about either continuing to gather points or hunting opponents. As a relatively aggressive team, we often sought conflict and took points from our defeated enemies.
However, I quickly realized that one should choose battles wisely. In one case, we managed to clean up two teams that were fighting each other and thus gained a huge lead in points.
The second time, we defeated several teams but attracted a third. The intense PvP fight was what I enjoyed most about the game. We literally danced around the opponents in the ruins, trying to hit each other and always had to weigh whether we could risk a glimpse or whether we needed to fully take out an opponent or whether we would then get hit by an enemy sniper’s arrow. The fight demanded all my skills with my character that had been rather limited until then.
We narrowly lost – much to my chagrin, because the last headshot did not hit …
In the last round, we barely made it to the ship, only to enter into a firefight with all remaining teams. We managed to gather enough points for a second place and barely escaped. Fortunately, it is enough if one of the team members is on the ship when it takes off.
At the ship, there can be a lot of action at the end.
However, this illustrated to me quite well that planning and teamwork are extremely important. If Tilman hadn’t guided us so well and we hadn’t played so well together, it probably wouldn’t have gone as smoothly and wouldn’t have been as fun.
It’s a blast, but it won’t be a blockbuster
Scavengers is a refreshing break from the other shooters I usually play: Warzone, Modern Warfare, Rainbow Six, and Cold War. It combines the thrill of a battle royale with the tactical demands of a tactics shooter and the action-packed fights of a hero shooter like Overwatch.
This makes Scavengers an interesting mix that I personally find incredibly fun. I already enjoyed The Cycle very much, and especially with friends, I would prefer to play Scavengers over Warzone.
With this praise in mind, I must also say: I don’t believe it will be a blockbuster. The mechanics are extremely cool, but too specific to appeal to a broad masses. Too few players will want exactly this combination of content, and Scavengers is simply too complex for that.
Nevertheless, it will not flop. I am sure that a lot of fans will find themselves who will play Scavengers faithfully and thoroughly. The genre is, similar to point-and-click adventures, something that only exactly the people play who want it, but then all the more extensively.
Scavengers will likely be a cult hit, and there are far too few of those, in my opinion. More studios should have the courage to make fewer players much happier. I’m looking forward to it!

Release and Beta – When can I play it myself?
How can I play it myself? At the conclusion of the playtest event, we could still ask the developers some questions. They revealed to us that a closed beta will be released in the near future, for which you can sign up at playscavengers.com. The beta runs from now until December 22.
Participation is limited, and those who want to test should be quick. Those who had access before will be automatically re-enabled for this test. How long the tests and the subsequent early access will last depends on player feedback and development.
When and where will Scavengers be released? The developers did not have a release date yet. However, it is certain that Scavengers will be released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One and will offer crossplay. Once Scavengers is released, it will be a free-to-play title with a season model. It will receive constant new updates.

Pearl Abyss, the makers of Black Desert, have presented their first gameplay trailer for Crimson Desert. The game is set to release in winter 2021 and will officially be an “Open World Action-Adventure.” However, much of what is shown in the trailer and the accompanying information resembles an MMORPG.
What is happening with Crimson Desert? During the Game Awards 2020, the first gameplay trailer for the new game was released. You can see about 5 minutes of gameplay, showcasing various landscapes, cities, characters, and battles.
All content is said to be real gameplay that has not been polished for the trailer.
Graphically, the new game is very similar to its predecessor Black Desert. You can recognize the game style in the characters, battles, and landscapes, although it appears to look slightly better than its predecessor.

Instead, the video description referred to it as an “Upcoming Open World Action-Adventure.” This description is also present in the new press release.
Previously, the game resembled more of a single-player experience:
The focus will be on the story
You are the leader of a mercenary band, who visually resembles Jon Snow. He has a tragic backstory and now leads his group to survive in the harsh world
Within the story, you can also play as other characters from the group
Recently, Pearl Abyss published more new information about Crimson Desert. These descriptions explicitly mention multiplayer content. And much of it indeed resembles an MMORPG.
Crimson Desert promises content for solo and multiplayer fans
What multiplayer content is there? According to the press release, Crimson Desert will contain content for both solo and multiplayer fans. These include:
Fortress battles that are said to scale massively
Open world events for multiple players
Dungeons
Additionally, the release states that the main story content will be seamlessly intertwined with multiplayer and that there will be character customization that sets a new standard in the gaming industry. While these may not be direct multiplayer contents, both indicate that multiplayer should play a role.
The main character and leader of the mercenary band: Macduff.
A little bit, the descriptions remind of the MMORPG ESO. There, most content can also be experienced alone, and players are almost never reliant on others. The only exceptions are PvP and dungeons. It’s no wonder that ESO is among the best MMORPGs for solo players.
However, how exactly players can interact with each other and whether they can possibly participate in story missions is currently unclear. We will have to wait for more information from the developers.
4K graphics, action-packed battles, and flying mounts
What else has been revealed about Crimson Desert? From the trailer, you can already glean some content that awaits you in the open world action-adventure:
Action-packed battles featuring various weapons such as swords, shields, daggers, and axes have been shown. There are also unarmed combat scenarios where you use your fists or kicks
There will be puzzles and riddles that you need to solve
Players can ride giant, mystical creatures and even fly
Plan 8 – another title from Pearl Abyss in development.
What else is Pearl Abyss working on? In addition to Crimson Desert, the developer Pearl Abyss is also working on two other multiplayer games, including the family-friendly MMO DokveV and the new shooter Plan 8. You can find out more about these two titles here:
The calfskin biker jacket and the rest of the set from Patch 5.4 are new in Final Fantasy XIV. Here you can find out how to obtain the rare calfskin.
With Patch 5.4, many new contents came to Final Fantasy XIV. One of them is the calfskin biker outfit, a new craftable set used for projections.
This is what the calfskin set looks like
To be able to craft this new set, players must first level the crafting job Tanning to level 80. Additionally, you must own the book “Master Tanning VIII”, which teaches you new recipes.
Alternatively, you can ask a friendly Tanner. Once that’s done, you’ll need the new main material: the calfskin.
This leather is the new rare drop from the new treasure hunt: The Carousel of Lyhe Ghiah. The portals to Lyhe Ghiah appear randomly when using the yellowed Glaucus-leather cards during the treasure hunt.
On December 10th, the beta for Wild Rift, the standalone version of League of Legends, will start. It has only been released for Android and iOS so far, but it is also expected to come to consoles. In an interview with MeinMMO, the developers revealed that the release will still take some time.
Who can currently play Wild Rift? With the start of the open beta on December 10, 2020, the twin-stick MOBA from the League of Legends universe is available in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store in Germany.
The launch in Germany has been long awaited, as some countries in Asia have already been participating in the beta since July 2020. In the USA, players still have to wait until 2021.
However, there is currently no version for consoles.
Riot Games comments on the Wild Rift console version
However, there are currently no major updates that can be shared with the players. More information is expected in 2021.
Why console players can’t play Wild Rift yet: Wild Rift was announced as a standalone game in the League of Legends universe after three years of development in October 2019.
With the announcement of the mobile version, a console version of Wild Rift for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch was promised. However, unlike the mobile version, no release date was mentioned.
What to expect in Wild Rift: The standalone version of League of Legends for smartphones and consoles is expected to differ in some aspects from the PC version:
An adapted twin-stick control scheme.
Shorter matches that are expected to last only 15 to 18 minutes.
New animations and models.
Additionally, a different champion pool is expected.

In the /dev update, Michael Chow provides information about the launch of the regional beta of League of Legends: Wild Rift.
When will Wild Rift be released for PS4, Xbox, and Switch? Riot Games has indicated a release on consoles will be possible at the earliest after the beta has ended. The MOBA is expected to leave beta in 2021 and be available worldwide for all mobile users. Console players will need to be patient for a little longer.
You can find everything about LoL Wild Rift, the game modes, and the beta in this overview:
On the evening of December 10, players report problems accessing Dungeons or the new feature Torghast in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. Players can no longer enter instances. MeinMMO is looking into what is happening and what you can do.
What is the problem? Today, on December 10, there have been increasing problems with instances since around 6:00 PM. Players in the forums and in the game itself are complaining that they cannot enter either Dungeons or Torghast. According to current reports, the following are affected:
mythic dungeons
the LFG tool
Torghast
partially the new raid Castle Nathria
When players try to sign up for a queue for one of these instances or enter them, either no connection is established, or they are immediately kicked out of the instance. Playing is not possible in this content.
Why this is particularly frustrating: Since on Wednesday, December 9, Season 1 of Shadowlands has started, players want to explore the new content. This includes the mythic keystone dungeons and the new stages in Torghast, the Tower of the Damned.
Many are trying to get a few upgrades from the dungeons to prepare for the also new raid Castle Nathria, which has already been nerfed just one day after its release. Castle Nathria currently seems accessible, even though there are reports that it is not functioning.
What I can do: If you are trying to join an instance through a browser, just try multiple times. With a bit of luck, you may still be able to enter the dungeon. You just have to hope that the connection stays stable.
There are currently no more tips from the community. However, the problem seems to be affecting multiple players across all realms in Europe.
What do the developers say? The customer service on Twitter has not posted any statements regarding the issue as of now (7:15 PM). So we cannot say exactly how quickly the problem can be resolved.
Players suspect that the instance server is currently unreachable. This is supported by the fact that almost all instances’ content cannot be accessed. Blizzard usually resolves such problems quite quickly, but depending on the severity, it could take some time.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In League of Legends: Wild Rift released on December 7, two new champions, the brothers Darius and Draven, were introduced. You can earn them for free through missions. We at MeinMMO will tell you how to do it.
Meanwhile, a new major update is already available. Patch 1.1 features not only some gameplay adjustments but also new champions. Before the monkey king Wukong, who is set to debut later this month, the “Brothers from Noxus”, Darius and Draven, will join the game.
The brothers appear with the new event that is currently ongoing
Both come with alternate skins into the game:
Academy Darius
High Noon Darius
Commentator Draven
Soul Reaper Draven
How to get Darius or Draven
How good are the champions? In the current tier list in Wild Rift, Darius ranks in the A-Tier in the Toplane, while Draven is positioned in the B-Tier of the AD Carry list. Even though both are not necessarily the best of the best, there is a good argument for them: You can secure both champions at no additional cost.

The start of Season 5 in Fortnite: Battle Royale introduced a new currency into the game: Gold Bars. With these, you can unlock cool weapons. We show you tips on how to quickly collect the Bars.
What are Gold Bars? The Bars were introduced as a new currency in Season 5 – Chapter 2. Unlike V-Bucks, however, these can only be used in game rounds and unlock weapons instead of cosmetics.
The only way to get Gold Bars is to find and collect them in the game. You cannot buy them with real money. However, this can take longer, so we have tips for you on how to make it faster.
What do you need Gold Bars for? The new bounty characters accept Gold Bars as payment. The Bars can then be used for these items:
Exotic weapons
Upgrades
Services: Bodyguards for protection
Information
For an exotic weapon, you need 1,225 Gold Bars each. A high price for a weapon that you can only use in one round. Therefore, it is good if you can quickly accumulate a lot of Bars.
The new currency in Fortnite: Gold Bars
Collect Gold Bars faster
There are various ways to collect Gold Bars. We show you an overview of the things you should pay particular attention to if you want to acquire wealth in a shorter time.
How do you even get Gold Bars? There are various methods to obtain the coveted currency. Here’s how to find them:
What is this mode? In the Fortnite mode Team Rumble, 2 teams of 20 players compete against each other. The team that achieves the specified number of eliminations first wins.
In this mode, you are not directly eliminated, but can respawn on the map repeatedly.
For more information about Fortnite on MeinMMO, click here:
Therefore, this mode is suitable: Gold Bars can hide in various places. So if you diligently destroy items with your pickaxe, you will find some Bars repeatedly. If you pay attention to these things in Team Rumble, you will quickly gather a large amount:
Land at a location and destroy as many items as you can
Search all chests and cash registers you find on your way
Once the storm eliminates you, you go into battle
Eliminate as many opponents as possible – don’t forget to pick up the Gold Bars they drop
If you focus on destroying many items and looting everything in the first half, you will already have a nice amount of Gold Bars. As a bonus, you can then grab the Bars that eliminated opponents drop.
Since you can respawn over and over again in Team Rumble, you also have no pressure and can take your time to collect the Gold pieces.
In Team Rumble mode, you always return to the map after an elimination
Accept various quests from NPCs
What does this mean? The start of Season 5 also brought NPC characters, who are spread across various locations on the map. If you talk to them, they can assign you quests.
You can either start bounty hunts or complete other tasks in the game. The reward for this is Gold Bars. There are various ways to earn this currency:
Start a bounty hunt and eliminate the target person yourself – you get 70 Gold Bars (can be repeated in a round)
Start the bounty hunt and wait for another player to eliminate the person – you get 35 Gold Bars
Complete other tasks like gathering materials assigned to you – you also get 35 Gold Bars per task
If you want to collect as many Gold Bars as possible, you can repeat these steps multiple times in a round and focus only on that.
The NPCs are just waiting to assign you quests
Search Gold Safes
What do you need to do? The “fastest” method to find Gold Bars is the safes on the map. If you find and search one of them, you get 100 Gold Bars per safe.
It would actually be the fastest and easiest method, but because it is so successful, it is also more difficult. The safes do not always spawn, even if you know the location. So if you want to go this route, you have to keep in mind that you won’t always be successful.
In this video, you can see where the safes can spawn:

Here you can see the locations of the safes that contain Gold Bars
However, if you are lucky and find the safe at that location, you will be rewarded with a large amount. Therefore, a search for it can definitely be worthwhile.
Are you already using these methods or do you have other methods that help you in the fast search for Gold Bars? Let us know in the comments!

Players who are encountering LoL for the first time
Players who are familiar with LoL but need to get used to the controls of Wild Rift

For those who are not yet familiar with the world of League of Legends, here are more tips:

Master Yi – The easiest jungler
Master Yi is a jungler and benefits from having a healing ability, and he also deals a lot of damage without needing to land skill shots or perform crazy combinations. He is therefore the ideal jungler for newcomers.
The only downside is that Yi is quite vulnerable to crowd control effects like stuns from enemies.

What are her abilities?

Blitzcrank – The easiest supporter
Blitzcrank is not only an extremely strong but also a very fun support. He has a lot of defense and can knock enemies into the air or silence them (then they cannot use abilities). Those are useful tools.
However, his highlight is the “Grab,” which allows you to pull enemies towards you. This trains your skill shots and you are often thrilled when you land a hit.

Passive: Blitzcrank gains a shield when his health falls below 35%
His first ability is a skill shot that pulls the affected enemy toward himself.

Patch 5.4 of Final Fantasy XIV is now available and here are the new locations of the legendary gathering points. Collect Dolomite Clumps, Hard Acacia Bark, and more here.

Legendary Vegetation Spots for the Botanist
Blue Cotton Boll appears in the Rak’tika Forest from 10:00 to 12:00 in-game time (Teleport Fanow)
Silver-Birch Log appears in Arm Araeng from 6:00 to 8:00 in-game time (Teleport Pawprint)

The submachine gun MP7 is among the best that the arsenal of Call of Duty: Warzone has to offer and can dominate in close combat with the right configuration, but can also compete with assault rifles at range. Try this setup.
Some players are currently just leveling up a few weapons or experimenting with new setups. And if you’re also looking for inspirations for weapon setups or alternatives for your tried-and-true weapons in the Warzone, then try the following composition of the MP7.
With this setup, the MP7 competes with assault rifles
What is this setup about? This SMG is already one of the best weapons for battle royale, but with this setup you exploit the biggest strength of the MP7 – its enormous precision. This reduces the recoil of the weapon so much that it is virtually unnoticeable and embodies the least noticeable and visible recoil of all weapons in the game.
This makes the MP7 a laser even at medium ranges and beyond, but it remains a dangerous killing instrument in close combat. In short: You turn the MP7 into a powerful hybrid of close- and long-range weapon, which can prove useful and effective in most situations.
Who is this setup aimed at: If you’re a player with good aim who can consistently land headshots, you can compete with assault rifles at medium and longer distances in terms of TTK.
The MP7 can already be played solo in this configuration, but it is also a perfect complement to almost any sniper or DMR loadout – for example in conjunction with the also strong Kar 98k.
How to set up the MP7: The focus here is accordingly on maximizing precision and range.
Muzzle: Silencer (Monolith)
Barrel: FSS Recon
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Laser: 5mW Laser
Ammo: 60 Round Magazine
If you’re wondering: Even at long ranges, you can use the MP7 effectively without a sight, just with the standard Iron Sights, thanks to its enormous precision.
How to play: The MP7 is very precise and stable – even while moving. Movement and good aim are therefore the key to success. Make sure to catch the opponent off guard quickly or engage with headshots briefly from cover – even at long ranges, this is deadly with good aim.
If an enemy is in close range, you can also approach them easily with hip-fire. Because even here the weapon is still very strong. If you’re already being shot at or the opponent likely has you in sight, it’s best to avoid direct confrontation.
This setup is particularly effective in combination with a sniper or DMR. Shoot the opponent with it and finish them off with the MP7.
Gameplay with this setup can be watched in this English YouTube video:

By the way, if you’re also waiting for new content: The new CoD Cold War has postponed its Season 1, the first shared season with Warzone, by a few days. As an apology, there are 2 free bundles with in-game items that you can also use in battle royale. MeinMMO explains what you need to do for them:
Testing for a new egg system in Pokémon GO will begin soon. Additionally, raid rewards may be revised.
This will be tested: As announced by Niantic on the “Pokémon GO Live” blog, a test series with two themes is currently being prepared. The first tests concern the eggs in Pokémon GO.
This test is set to take place globally starting Friday, December 11, with the help of a select group of trainers, though it is not specified who will qualify for the test. There is also no end date for the test yet.
During this period, testers will be able to carry 12 eggs instead of the usual 9 – but there’s a catch. The 3 bonus eggs pertain only to eggs obtained from either Adventure Sync or Rocket battles. If you already have 9, you can receive up to 3 bonus eggs from these activities.
The 12km eggs will receive a special status in the test
Finally more space for eggs?
If the egg space is increased permanently, it should solve an annoying egg problem that has existed since the introduction of 12km eggs from Rocket battles. There have been instances where the egg bag was full, preventing players from getting any of the special eggs. This should be a thing of the past for testers – provided they don’t accidentally run around with 3 filled bonus slots all the time.
The test will happen in two variations:
For some trainers, the bonus eggs will simply be displayed in the usual egg menu.
For others, they will come in a sort of bonus compartment.
Both variations have in common that eggs only count towards the Pokémon limit once they are in incubators. Depending on the results, Niantic will involve more trainers in the test.
This is the second test: In addition to the eggs, Pokémon GO is testing revised raid rewards between December 9 and early January. However, this is only being tested in the United Kingdom and Ireland, not in the rest of the world. They have not yet disclosed what the new rewards will look like.
This is the community’s reaction: Discussion about the tests is already happening in the Pokémon GO subreddit. While the expanded egg storage is received positively, some players have suggested other solutions. Notably, many players want the option to delete certain eggs. Others propose a system where players can simply choose from which activities they want to receive eggs.
The raid rewards are still raising questions. One hope that keeps appearing is that they might provide more XL candies. This could help in leveling up legendary monsters more effectively in the future. How the tests will impact the game will become evident in the coming days.

Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming: This is a motherboard for AMD processors. The B450 chipset is compatible with all processors from the first to the third Ryzen generation. According to AMD, the update for the 4th generation (Ryzen 5000) is also coming in spring 2021.

In addition, the motherboard offers you two connections for NVME SSDs and USB 3.1. A “Debug Panel LED” helps you identify errors during assembly.
Unfortunately, the motherboard does not provide passive heat sinks for M.2 SSDs and currently does not support Ryzen 5000.
In the offer for under 100 euros, you definitely can’t go wrong with the Asus ROG Strix B450-F, especially since AMD and Asus want to provide Ryzen 5000 support in January 2021.

This is fast enough for Full HD with maximum details and has reserves for WQHD as well. A downside is the video memory, which is only 6 GB large.
If you mainly want to play in Full HD or are also interested in WQHD with fewer details, then you should take a look at this PC. If you want to game long term in WQHD, you should look for a PC with a stronger graphics card.
The gaming computer currently costs €877.00 (€999.00), saving you 12%.

Thanks to a wireless adapter, the devices are connected directly to a PC or TV device. The keyboard especially offers a very long battery life, making it particularly suitable for mobile users.
The keyboard features 11 special keys and 4 programmable F-keys. While the keyboard performs very well, the mouse is of average quality and quite small.
For users who like to work mobile and occasionally play a little, the keyboard is a fair offer. Currently, the keyboard at MediaMarkt in the Logitech Advent calendar costs €25.51 (€40.92 ), saving you 37%.
Razer Deathadder V2: At the beginning of the year, Razer announced the DeathAdder V2 and the new Basilisk and started sales. The mouse offers you a low weight of 82 grams and a high-performance sensor with the PixArt PMW-3399. Additionally, Razer installs “Razer Optical Switches” instead of the previous mouse switches from Omron. These are said to be more durable and less prone to double-clicks. The mouse is also wired.
If you want to use most functions of the mouse, you need the extensive software “Razer Synapse.” While registration is no longer necessarily required, the software does not work on Macintosh and Linux. Despite its symmetrical shape, the mouse is only suitable for right-handed users.
If you are looking for a reliable gaming mouse that offers a good sensor and feels comfortable in hand, you should take a look at the DeathAdder V2. If you have the predecessor, buying the new version is only conditionally worthwhile. The DeathAdder V2 is also among the best gaming mice for shooter players.
You can currently get the mouse on Amazon for €48.90 (€79.99), saving you 39%.
