In Pokémon GO, a special event for the new generation starts today, on December 2, 2020. Monsters from the Kalos region are coming into play more frequently – along with some additional bonuses.
When does the event start? The event starts on Wednesday, December 2, 2020, at 10:00 AM local time. It will last for nearly a week and ends on Tuesday, December 8, at 10:00 PM.
So you have this much time to grab the bonuses from the event, which is simply referred to as “special event” without a fancy name. And this is happening while there’s a lot going on in Pokémon GO right now.
Yveltal is flying through the air, Xerneas is behind the tree
These monsters can be hatched from eggs: The egg pool is also being shuffled a bit and Gen-6 monsters can be hatched. You will find the following monsters in eggs as of the event start:
What else does the event bring? During the event period, you will discover field researches and time-limited research that will bring you encounters with monsters like Scoppel and Dartiri. Psiau will still be found in raids, with Leufeo also joining the monster in 1-star raids.
Additionally, they will provide you with Mega Energy for Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. So if you haven’t had a chance yet to mega evolve the original starters, you can now gather the necessary energy for that.
The Weekly Reset brings players in Destiny 2 today, on December 1st, new weekly activities and a fresh challenge. But what can the Guardians do beyond that?
What’s going on in Destiny 2? Gradually, the Guardians have gotten used to the new Beyond Light expansion and Season 12, everything is going back to the usual routine.

Petra Venj can be found (Curse Week 3) in the area of “Rheasilvia”. In addition, the 4th Ascendant Challenge is active.
Here are the sources for Powerful Loot in Season 12 of Destiny 2
This is how Powerful Loot is structured in Destiny 2: Powerful Loot comes in multiple tiers, granting various power boosts. Accordingly, higher tiers also grant higher power boosts.
Tier 1 (up to +3 above the current power level)
Tier 2 (up to +4 above the current power level)
Tier 3 (up to +5 above the current power level)
Top gear (+5 or more above the power level. The only gear that exceeds 1250 and goes up to a maximum of 1260)
In MMORPGs, we can often take on the roles of fanciful and exotic races. Which are your favorites?
What is this about? One of the incentives of video games is that we can take on a role that would never be possible for us in real life. We play special ops agents, heroes, treasure hunters, wizards, wolves, undead, and much more.
In MMORPGs, this occurs on one hand through the choice of our class and the story of the game, and on the other hand through the choice of the race for our character.
While MMORPGs like New World are limited to humans, there are many games that offer a wide selection of playable races.
MMORPGs often draw from legends, myths, mythology, or religion when it comes to their playable races.
These races often differ in their stats and abilities, but even more frequently in their statements. This contributes to more diversity in character creation. There are various ways in which these races are implemented in MMORPGs:
Some MMORPGs adopt classic races from fairy tales or legends and adapt them to their own lore and history
Other MMORPGs take place in space. Their races are meant to resemble aliens, like those we see in sci-fi movies or books
Frequently, MMORPGs also use anthropomorphism. This is expressed in races that have animal characteristics, for example
Other MMORPGs, on the other hand, try to design completely original races that have never existed before
But which ones do you think are the coolest? Which MMORPGs do you think have the best and most creative selection of playable races? Which of them do you find particularly cool, whether purely visually or in terms of their lore? Let us know in the comments.
To clarify: This is about all races that are specifically not humans. The “fantasy alternatives” to humans that carry other names (Hyuran, Jin, Bertonen, etc.) do not count here.
So, let it out!

In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands you will find the golden chest of the Provost. To open it, you first need the corresponding gold key. You will receive it in exchange for a ripe Purian fruit. MeinMMO explains how all of this is connected and works.
What are these items? In Bastion, in the middle of the Hero’s Rest, you will find a “Golden Chest of the Provost.” This can be opened, but only after you have found the Provost’s gold key.
You will get this key from Elios, who stands right next to the chest. However, he won’t just hand it over; you need to complete some tasks for him.
Here’s how to prepare everything: In order for Elios to hand you the key, you first need to complete two quests for him:
Fruit of the Gods
Sweet Tribute
These will reward you with a silver key and a bit of loot from the corresponding silver chest. From then on, you will have the opportunity to also obtain the gold key.
Where can I find the fruit? The ripe purians can be found scattered throughout Bastion. For the quest “Fruit of the Gods,” you have an overview on the map of which areas the fruits can be found.
Alternatively, you can approach the silver lockboxes that you also find at various locations in Bastion. You will then receive the buff “Increased Sense of Smell.” This shows you where the fruits are located near you. We have listed some of the boxes here along with coordinates:
Can I farm the fruits? Only to a limited extent. A Purian spoils after five days and can be stacked up to a maximum of 20 pieces. So you can collect some of them, but you cannot keep them in stock.
Open the Golden Chest of the Provost with the Gold Key
How do I open the chest? If you have completed the quests and found a Purian fruit, you need to bring it to the “Provost of the Day.” Elios will tell you who this is next to his golden chest.
You can talk to Elios to get a marker on your map. However, it only lasts for a few minutes. But you can always talk to him again and ask. The user Celesta on wowhead has already listed the positions of all the Provosts:
Alexandros: 53 / 85
Angeliki: 43 / 27
Burnsios: 45 / 59
Chaddius: 57 / 77
Covinkles: 53 / 9
Giannakis: 71 / 37
Ioanna: 26 / 33
Pagius: 46 / 65
Platnos: 61 / 62
Wylia: 34 / 67
The corresponding Provost will then hand you the Provost’s gold key. With this, you can return to the Hero’s Rest and open the chest there. Inside you will find gold, some anima, and vendor items.
Looking for a new mount? You can easily get this frog.
In Destiny 2, you can significantly level up the Season Pass and the artifact faster and more efficiently with some planning. MeinMMO shows you 4 easily implementable tips that every Guardian should know.
Since Destiny 2: Beyond Light was released on November 10, the seasonal rank of all Guardians is prominently displayed above their heads. Some can only shake their real heads at the fact that some players are already far beyond level 100.
This raises questions like “How do they level up so much faster and better than I do?” or “Do they play around the clock?”
What does the seasonal level even bring?
Your seasonal rank corresponds to your level in the Season Pass. Once you reach level 100, you have earned all rewards. Theoretically, you can continue leveling indefinitely.
Additionally, you level your seasonal artifact. This gives you access to powerful mods and even grants you a bonus to your power level – this way, you can master endgame activities like the raid better, at least in the current season.
While the level does not have a direct relation to your power level, which is the power of your weapons and armor, you will still feel a power increase through the artifact.
You can level up in Destiny 2 almost on the side. All activities give you experience. But if you act skillfully and pay attention to a few simple tricks, you can level the Season Pass much faster and more efficiently.
MeinMMO shows you 4 tips for properly and quickly leveling up that every Guardian should know in this article.
Here’s what you need to know about the “new” ghost:
You can now upgrade the ghost shell to a masterpiece – don’t worry, it won’t cost you any Ascendant Shards and is much cheaper than with other items.
This unlocks more space for useful mods – you need at least 6 energy slots for quick XP gain.
Each ghost shell can now equip the coveted bonus XP mods.
Make sure to use the new mod “Blinding Light” (costs 6 energy): This gives you 12% more experience.
This provides 12% more experience from all sources
No matter which activity you undertake or where you get experience points from, you now get 12% more – just like that.
Tip 2: Bounties are your friends
Some jokingly say that Destiny 2 is “Bounty Hunter – The Game”, meaning everything revolves around bounties (Bounties). But you should take advantage of this strong focus on bounties.
By completing the weekly and daily bounties from NPCs all over the solar system, you can earn tons of XP.
Conveniently, every activity in Destiny 2 actually has a suitable overseer – from whom you receive the bounties.
So whether you are currently improving your Stasis skills on Europa or having fun in the Crucible, be sure to grab the corresponding bounties beforehand.
Especially the weekly bounties should have high priority.
The time-to-experience ratio here is top-notch.
Sure, it may take some time for you to fly to the Tower and stock up on bounties. But the next-gen Guardians hardly feel any of that, and the loading times on other platforms have also noticeably decreased since Beyond Light.
Always grab the appropriate bounties if you want quick, high EXP
These weekly bounties should always be tackled:
Strike – Zavala in the Tower
Crucible – Shaxx in the Tower
Gunsmith (Banshee-44 in the Tower)
Gambit – The Drifter in the Annex
Crow – since Season 12 in the Tangled Shore at Spider
Variks – found on Europa
While grinding the weekly activities, always tackle the weekly bounties at the same time. If you have limited time, skip the “repeatable bounties”. These give (regularly) hardly any XP and are not worth it.
Especially at the beginning of a season or expansion, the weekly milestones are very important. Here lies the powerful and top loot that can significantly increase your power level.
Milestones provide good loot and a lot of experience
Many do not know this about milestones: Milestones also generously grant experience points. The great thing is that you can usually complete weekly bounties and milestones hand in hand.
While you run 3 strikes for the milestone, you also complete Zavala’s weekly bounty that requires you to complete at least 3 strikes.
If you are particularly diligent, you can complete 8 smaller bounties and then have completed Zavala’s next weekly task.
Milestones will be displayed to you in the Navigator as yellow star markers – this way you can quickly see where you can still get plenty of experience and strong loot.
You can already see that much is not magic, but just good preparation.
If possible, play in a team with other Guardians. Because in the Season Pass you unlock bonuses to experience. Some of these only take effect in a team. However, you should also consider playing multiple characters yourself.
Why play multiple characters? In Destiny 2, experience is account-wide. Every bit of XP from your first character also counts for the other two (more than 3 Guardians are not possible).
You can then use the bonuses of your artifact with all Guardians or claim many rewards multiple times from the Season Pass.
Sure, saving the universe with 3 Guardians is a real time sink.
But you don’t have to complete everything with your twinks. If you want and have some time left, however, the milestones in your favorite activity are recommended.
Of course in combination with a “+12% ghost shell” and the corresponding weekly bounties.
Many weekly activities can actually be approached at the minimum level of 1,050 – so you don’t need highly leveled Guardians as twinks.
In the Season of the Hunt, one proudly exhibits the bones of their prey.
And don’t forget to fish for the seasonal armor and ornaments from the Season Pass on your second or third characters. Because they remain even after Season 12 and look good (see title image).
Did you know all the tricks and have been “leveling up properly” for a long time? Or do you take it all easier and don’t need to be the fastest, best Guardian everywhere?

Classes play a significant role in MMORPGs. They define what kind of hero you play. There are even online role-playing games where you have a very large selection of classes. MeinMMO presents 6 of them.
If you have choices, you have dilemmas when it comes to classes in MMORPGs. Would you rather be the fighter charging boldly into battle or would you prefer to cast fireballs as a wizard? Do you want to heal or strike from the shadows as an assassin?
There are MMORPGs that offer an enormous number of classes so that every player can really choose the role that suits them. We would like to introduce you to 6 such online role-playing games.
Setting: Fantasy | Developer: XLGames | Platforms: PC | Release: January 15, 2013| | Website:ArcheAge Website
Based on 120 classes, you choose in ArcheAge what role you want to play.
What kind of game is this?ArcheAge is a sandbox MMORPG where you explore a vast world full of challenges and adventures. There is essentially no overarching story; you write your own story.
To do this, you create a hero and take on a role in the game world. This can be an adventurer exploring uncharted lands or a craftsman making weapons and equipment for fighters.
In addition, you will experience quests that tell smaller and larger stories, through which you learn more about the lore. PvP also plays an important role.
How many classes are there? In ArcheAge, it is possible to create your hero from 220 classes. This happens through various combinations of skill sets. There are said to be even more combinations to come.
https://youtu.be/FDz7OqTKChs
This video presents the classes and their skill sets.
Why are there so many classes? ArcheAge relies on so-called skill sets that grant you different abilities. There are 12 sets, of which you can combine three. This means that you can create 220 classes through these combinations that actually differ from each other.
Each class can take on its own roles in the game, and it also makes sense to think carefully about which skill sets you combine to take on the role you want to play.

In Pokémon GO, you can now reach Rank 50. The first step will be Level 41 for you. We show you the XP requirements, the tasks, and give tips for solving them.
This is Level 41: Since December 1, 2020, it has continued after Level 40. You can climb 10 more ranks. The first step is the way to Level 41.
For this, you need to have a certain amount of XP and additionally solve 4 tasks that can be quite tricky.
How much XP do you need for Level 41? You need a total of 26 million XP. That means you need to collect another 6 million XP after Level 40.
You need to complete these 4 tasks: In total, there are 4 quests that you need to complete for the ascent. Only if you reach the XP and complete the quests will you reach Level 41. The 4 tasks are:
Power-Ups on legendary Pokémon are worth it here: You should choose strong attackers for this. Legendary Pokémon are usually quite strong, but there are exceptions.
We recommend using Power-Ups on the following monsters:
Rayquaza
Mewtwo
Kyogre
Zapdos
Reshiram
Zekrom
Giratina (Altered Forme)
Otherwise, take a look at our list of the best attackers. You will surely find suitable candidates there.
Rayquaza is a good choice for Power-Ups
How to quickly win 30 Raids: Especially for trainers in villages, completing 30 Raids quickly can be difficult. Raid hours that occur every Wednesday are worth it here. There, you can easily complete over 10 Raids in one hour.
Otherwise, you should particularly focus on remote Raids. There are even apps that focus on organizing remote Raids. This way, you can comfortably sit on the couch and complete numerous Raids – but of course, it will cost you PokéCoins.
How to catch 200 Pokémon in one day? For such a task, events like Spotlight Hour or Community Day are worth it. Alone during Spotlight Hour, you can easily catch over 200 Pokémon and only need about an hour of time.
We recommend the catching trick for this. With it, you can catch Pokémon much faster and easily complete the task.
What about the Gold Medals? No trainer at Level 40 should have problems here. Alone on the way to Level 40, you will collect numerous Gold Medals. These will simply continue to be counted from Level 41.
Gold Medals are available for various actions in the game.
How to quickly collect XP? This may be the biggest challenge for some trainers. Collecting XP can be quite difficult, but it can quickly be achieved through some actions:
Friendships bring the most XP – get friends from the internet or your community and level up. Be sure to use a Lucky Egg during the friendship level up
Catching Pokémon now brings significantly more XP – especially outstanding throws reward you much more
A Lucky Egg is also worth it during a Raid Hour – there you can earn several hundred thousand XP
Besides Level 41, the first season is now also active. It brings new spawns and numerous other changes to Pokémon GO. We summarize it here for you:
In Call of Duty: Warzonethe pro Nickmercs has created a brutal setup. With the VLK Rogue shotgun, he reliably takes out opponents with just one shot. You’ll find out how that looks in action and how to build the weapon as a one-shot monster here.
Some even believe that the R9-0 is totally OP and ruins the Warzone. Therefore, this weapon may soon be nerfed, and fans are currently looking for alternatives.
At the suggestion of streamer colleague TimTheTatMan, Warzone pro Nickmercs has experimented a bit with the VLK Rogue shotgun. The results are impressive.
This is what the setup looks like: To get a deadly VLK Rogue that takes out opponents at close range with a single hit, you should upgrade your VLK Rogue as follows:
Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder
Barrel: 16” Warlord
Laser: 5mW Laser
Ammunition: 8-S Dragon’s Breath
Rear Grip: Textured Grip Tape
With this setup, you’ll have a weapon that hits brutally at close range. How intense this looks can be seen in the video that Nickmercs has published:

As soon as an opponent comes into Nickmercs’ sights, they are taken down and eliminated with a second shot. To drop a healthy opponent, it only takes one shot with the upgraded VLK Rogue.
You have to unlock the VLK Rogue, and here’s how to obtain it:
Therefore, Nickmercs is also thrilled with the outcome of his experiment. He sees a future for this weapon in the upcoming Warzone meta:
If the R9 nerf actually comes, do we believe then that the VLK will take its place? Personally, I believe that. I think that is the next step. If the R9 is nerfed, I think players will switch to the VLK.
The start of Season 5 – Chapter 2 in Fortnite: Battle Royale is drawing closer. As with every season start, there will traditionally be a new Battle Pass filled with skins and cosmetics. We will show you what is already known about it.
Update December 2, 8:30 AM: The trailer for Season 5 is here and gives a first glimpse of what players can expect in just a few hours.
After that, Season 5 should continue, although it is not yet known exactly when it will go live. However, hints suggest a start a few hours after the live event. But what do we know about the new Battle Pass?
Season 5 Battle Pass
What is already known? Normally, players can only discover the full content of a new Battle Pass on the launch day of the new season. This probably won’t change anytime soon, but Epic has accidentally already revealed some hints.
In the stores where you can buy Fortnite online, the new season title image appeared, showing 3 Battle Pass skins. Epic likely updated this accidentally. However, before it could disappear again, players had already saved it and shared it on Twitter:

Which skins are visible? The image featured 3 skins and a back accessory. There was a character with black-pink armor, a “man” with a pancakes head, and “The Mandalorian,” known from the Star Wars universe.
The back accessory is Baby Yoda, who is likely to hang on the back of the Mandalorian in his small capsule.
How much will the Battle Pass cost? So far, the Battle Passes in the standard version have always cost 950 V-Bucks. There is no indication that this price will change.
However, the Battle Pass package, which allowed players to buy the Battle Pass and 25 levels, has been replaced by a level package costing 1,850 V-Bucks. Epic explains this as follows:
The Battle Pass package has been replaced by a package with 25 levels that costs 1,850 V-Bucks. This offer can be purchased once per season by players who have reached a maximum of level 75. The package can be bought along with the standard Battle Pass or separately. You can also purchase it after obtaining the Battle Pass individually or if you received it as a member of the Fortnite Crew.
These are the current known details about the Battle Pass. What else is included in the Battle Pass and what it will ultimately look like, we will probably only find out when Season 5 finally begins.
The first skin from Season 5 available with the Crew Subscription
If you want to buy the Battle Pass anyway and also want to have an exclusive skin, another option would be to check out the Crew Subscription, which will be available from December 2. If you are wondering whether it is worth it for you, we have all important information about the Crew Subscription for you.

Today, on December 1, 2020, the Spotlight Hour with Jurob starts in Pokémon GO. We show you the bonuses and Shinys.
What is a Spotlight Hour? Every Tuesday, this event takes place in Pokémon GO. During the evening hours from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, you can participate. A Pokémon is in the spotlight during the event. A bonus makes the event even more attractive for you.
This week, the Spotlight Hour revolves around the Pokémon Jurob.
All information about the Spotlight Hour with Jurob
When does the Spotlight Hour take place? It starts this evening as usual at 6:00 PM local time. The event runs for one hour and from 7:00 PM, the spawns active before the event will return.
What bonuses are there? In today’s Spotlight Hour, you will encounter Jurob almost everywhere. If you ignite a Incense module, you will find even more spawns of this Pokémon.
Additionally, you will receive double experience points for evolving Pokémon. So if you have a few candidates in your bag that you can evolve, it’s worth it even more this evening than usual.
Is there Shiny Jurob? Yes! For those shiny collectors among you who haven’t had luck so far, this is good news.
This is why the event is worth it: From now on, it’s going upwards in Pokémon GO starting at Level 40. For each level up from 41 to 50, you need to gain XP and complete tasks. If you’re missing a few experience points, you can make up for them today with the evolutions.
Don’t have a Shiny Jurob yet? Then this Spotlight Hour is an opportunity for you to catch one.
In Taiwan, a husband tried to pass off his new PS5 as a fan so that his wife wouldn’t notice. However, she caught on to the deception and forced the man to sell the coveted console. Read the whole story here on MeinMMO.
What happened? The Taiwanese gamer and Facebook user Jin Wu managed to obtain a PlayStation 5 despite the shortage. However, he had to pick it up personally from the man selling it privately.
On the phone, he was in contact with a woman who, in his opinion, “didn’t sound like a person who plays video games.” But the price was very reasonable, so Jin Wu decided to pick up the PS5 in person.
When he arrived, he was greeted by a middle-aged guy who, according to Jin Wu, looked much more like a gamer. When asked where he bought the PS5, the man gave a reply, but Jin Wu was puzzled.
“You seem to have a good business sense. Did you order two? Why else would you be selling your PS5?”
Wife knows the difference between a fan and a console
Why did the man have to sell the PS5? Full of bitterness and sadness, the man supposedly told Jin Wu the whole truth behind the PS5 sale.
“My wife is selling the console,” the man confessed. “She knows the difference between a PS5 and a standing fan.”
Apparently, the husband wanted to keep his wife from knowing he wanted to buy an expensive new console. Since she obviously didn’t want such a device in the house, the man came up with the “clever” idea to pass it off as an extravagant standing fan.
The man probably hoped that his wife was not very tech-savvy and therefore wouldn’t know that the “fan” was actually a console. But that was apparently not the case, and the angry wife then forced the man to sell his console as soon as possible.
If you still want a PS5, there may be good news for you here:
This is how the community reacts: Jin Wu posted this curious case on Facebook and received almost 7,000 reactions and over 1,000 comments. Some of them include:
A user reports that a friend of hers also has a wife who wants him to sell the PS5.
Other users took the opportunity to express their generosity towards their partners, saying, “Look how good I am to you!”
Other users expressed solidarity with the man, saying, “Brother, buy some beer and sit down, I’ll hide your PS5.”
Others also linked to a viral comic video from South Korea, where a man tries to convince his wife that a console is actually a router.

What do you think about this? Does the man deserve to sell his PS5? After all, he tried to deceive his wife intentionally and thought she was too dumb to tell a console apart from a fan. Or is the wife cruel and mean by not allowing her husband to enjoy the PS5 that he was lucky to get despite the delivery difficulties?

CD Projekt Red is raffling off an exclusive RTX 3080 in the design of Cyberpunk 2077 for its release. The graphics card looks really good, but there is a catch. Apparently, only Chinese users will receive the graphics card.
Here is the graphics card in question: CD Projekt Red has introduced a special GeForce RTX 3080 in collaboration with the bilibili network.
This one comes in the black and yellow design suitable for Cyberpunk 2077 and looks damn good.
The graphics card appears to be a Founders Edition model from Nvidia based on its looks and fans, with a Cyberpunk-2077 design. The GeForce RTX 3080 performed very well in tests. It offers high performance for 4K gaming with ray tracing at a fair price. However, the graphics card is so immensely popular that the RTX 3080 sold out quickly.
RTX 3080 looks great – but there is a catch
What is this action all about? CD Projekt Red, the developer studio behind Cyberpunk 2077, is raffling off merchandise related to the game in collaboration with the Chinese network bilibili. This includes among other things the RTX 3080
a “OnePlus 8T 2077 Edition” smartphone
a gaming chair from SecretLab
a Razer Viper Ultimate “Cyberpunk Edition” mouse
or an Xbox controller in the Cyberpunk 2077 design.
Bilibili is a Chinese social network focused on video sharing around movies, comics, and gaming. The network has 35 million registered users. You can find the entire action in Chinese at bilibili.
What is the catch? These offers before the game’s release only apply to Chinese fans. This means you cannot participate in the raffle with a German address.
But the chance that one of you gets the graphics card would be unlikely even if you could participate here. Because Gamerant writes that there are already over 1.2 million participants in the raffle.
Cyberpunk 2077 Release – it will definitely come in December
Meanwhile, CD Projekt Red has made it clear that the game will definitely be released on December 10, 2020, and there won’t be a fourth delay of the game. During an “Earnings Call,” it was emphasized again that there will be no further delay (via reddit.com).
Meanwhile, someone even took the effort to create a cool trailer mixing Cyberpunk 2077 with World of Warcraft. You can check out what comes out of it in our article:
Tim “Nemesis” Lipovšek is a “League of Legends” professional. He was considered a great talent when he switched from MAD Lions to Fnatic in 2018. But now he has left Fnatic again and wanted to start for another team in the spring. However, he did not receive a single offer from Europe.
What happened? The midlaner Nemesis played for Fnatic from 2018 to 2020. Under him, the European team actually performed quite well:
They had the chance three times for a regional championship title, but were always defeated in the finals by the major competitor G2 Esports.
To prevent this from happening again in 2021, Fnatic wanted to restructure. And this primarily affects Nemesis.
What’s next for Nemesis? In a clip on Twitch, the midlaner shared that he received a few offers from teams, but none met his expectations.
It seems there were offers from various regions that Nemesis apparently is not interested in. There was not a single offer from Europe, his home region.
This is tough for a midlaner who has a lot of regional and international experience. According to his own statement, he will be taking time off in the Spring Split of 2021.

Nemesis was considered a great talent but made many mistakes
Why was Nemesis considered a talent? When the midlaner joined Fnatic in 2018, he had to step into the big shoes left by Caps. But he started very strongly.
The website Picks and Bans wrote in January 2019 that Fnatic had a weak performance, but Nemesis was immune to this criticism. He was “the only solid player on the team” at that point.
More about player transfers in November 2020 in LoL:
So what’s the problem? Nemesis is considered strong, but he has also had some weak phases, especially in the 2020 season.
The biggest point of criticism is his champion pool. While in 2019 his best champs were also the strongest in the game, it looked different this year:
In the Summer Split of 2020, Nemesis only achieved a KDA of 3.1 and ended up in 7th place out of 10 midlaners in the LEC.
He was only involved in 59.5% of all team kills and thus ranked last. ZaZee from SK Gaming, Caps from G2 Esports, and Larssen from Rogue all had involvement over 70% (via Oracleselixir).
But the mid lane plays an extremely important role in LoL and is considered the “prestige lane.” Stars like Faker and DoinB became known and famous through it. Nemesis is strong in his position, but he has not dominated it in recent years.
Fnatic is facing a restart
Who replaces Nemesis? Fnatic has since reinforced with Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer. He was previously the midlaner for the American team Cloud9.
New in the bot lane is the German Elias ‘Upset’ Lipp. He has received a contract for 3 years.
So far, however, there have been no changes in the other three positions.
Nick “LS” De Cesare was supposed to become a new coach for T1.
But changes have not only occurred with the players. The South Korean team T1, where Faker plays, wanted to hire a new coach. However, a wave of hate ensured that he was not hired:
On November 30, there were finally details about what the new PvP will look like.
Instead of 10 ranks, there are now 24 ranks
The four highest ranks have special names
Medals for reaching the highest ranks
New Pokémon rewards
Exclusive rewards depending on the rank achieved
This is how trainer battles change in Pokémon GO
More ranks: Niantic has already explained that they are increasing the limit from 10 to 24 ranks. You achieve these by playing and winning accordingly. You will also receive a rating for your performance. Once you reach a certain rating, you count as one of the four highest ranks in Pokémon GO.

What is Rocket Arena? Rocket Arena is a colorful 3vs3 multiplayer shooter played from a third-person perspective. There is no single-player mode. Essentially, Rocket Arena is a mix of Overwatch and Smash Bros. You engage in action-packed, fast-paced shooter duels in small arenas, focusing on the namesake rockets and different characters – each with their own special abilities.

Worms Rumble (PS4 and PS5)
What is Worms Rumble? The cult game series Worms is known for its tactical, turn-based battles where teams of worms fight against each other. They are heavily armed to the teeth. However, with Worms Rumble, the popular series now takes a new direction, delivering real-time battles focusing on just one worm – including cross-play between PC and consoles with up to 32 players.
You choose from an arsenal of iconic weapons like a bazooka or shotgun and engage in real-time battles with other players in modes like Deathmatch (Solo) or Last Worm/Squad Standing (essentially Battle Royale), participate in challenges, or experience seasonal events – alone or in teams. You are no longer controlling a team but a single worm, which you can level up and extensively customize. Additionally, the worms now also have new movement abilities. They can roll or jump up walls and are generally faster.

The membership costs about €60 per year – depending on the duration of the subscription. As a member, you usually receive 2 PS Plus games monthly – available for download in the PS Store at no additional cost. On top of that, you benefit from several other advantages.
No matter how long you think about it, Cyberpunk 2077 and World of Warcraft have hardly anything in common. A crossover of both games sounds absurd, and few could imagine that it could actually look good. Luckily, there is someone who belongs to those “few” and has simply created this in a cool trailer.
What you can see: The video shows the trailer of Cyberpunk 2077 from 2018. At that time, it was presented at E3. However, only the audio track was used; the entire visuals of the trailer were recreated with the characters from World of Warcraft. Whether it’s elves in tight clothing with neon tattoos or stocky orcs with rocket launchers and cyber eyes – everything found a place in the trailer:

Which locations were used? Many locations seem to have been manually built, and many of the characters were edited afterward to be equipped with technical devices or tattoos. However, some environments players may recognize, as parts of the supposed “Night City” are simply taken from Mechagon. Other parts come from the goblin starting area or were even created completely anew.
It’s amazing to see how quickly one gets used to this mixed style. One almost begins to dream and imagines that one day the goblin and gnome cities in World of Warcraft could look like this.
Many details that impress: If you look closely at the trailer, you’ll find an extreme number of references and details from other games and media. For example, you can see the spray logo “Well played” on a wall, which comes from Hearthstone. Just next to it, you can see a character from the anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” which also took place in a dystopian future.
Hearthstone and Neon Genesis Evangelion in one image.
Can such a setting work? By the way, this idea of a mixed setting is not entirely new. If one were to mix World of Warcraft with Cyberpunk 2077, one would have quite exactly the world of Shadowrun.
It is a futuristic game world where everything is governed by large corporations, while magic with elves, trolls, and dragons has also entered the world.
An apparently insane combination that can actually work well – as the movie “Bright” proved a few years ago.
What do you think of this trailer? A cool idea or are these two games that just shouldn’t be mixed?
The creators of the sex game Subverse searched for an influencer on YouTube to collaborate with them. They found Arch Warhammer: the strategy YouTuber is considered far-right. This led to difficulties.
What kind of game is Subverse? The page Kotaku calls “Subverse” one of the “most anticipated adult games of all time”.
Subverse is being developed by FOW Interactive for PC: it is a “Tactical RPG Shoot’em Up”. The game was funded through Kickstarter, where it raised 1.67 million pounds, which is about 1.86 million euros. This makes it the most successful “adult game” ever funded on Kickstarter.
On Kickstarter, the developers advertise that in Subverse players can travel through a fully explorable galaxy and are the captain of their own spaceship. They are supposed to recruit their crew from the “sexiest and deadliest waifus in the galaxy”. By waifus, they mean sexually attractive ladies in the world of anime.
The trailer for Subverse winks and hints that it is something like a sex parody of Mass Effect. The legendary RPG series Mass Effect from BioWare offered players the option to enter into romantic and sexual relationships with crew members. Apparently, Subverse wants to delve deeper into this aspect. Knick Knack.
This is the controversy: To promote the game, the studio teamed up with the YouTuber “Arch Warhammer”. He has 234,000 subscribers on the platform and with his channel focus on “Warhammer/Total War”, he exactly addresses the tactical RPG community that Subverse aims at.
The YouTuber created a nearly 50-minute video showcasing an “exclusive first look” at Subverse.
The video itself is not the problem, but the YouTuber Arch Warhammer himself. He actually comes from the Warhammer 40k community and is considered someone who holds extremely right-wing views. He is so controversial that the developers of Warhammer, Games Workshop, have warned partner companies against working with him (via twitter).
Shortly after the video was released, there were already complaints to the developers of Subverse about who they were collaborating with.
The developers of Subverse then issued a statement. They said they chose Arch Warhammer because of the quality of his content, his community, and his number of subscribers.
And apparently, they had no great selection either:
As a company that produces pornography, it is very difficult for us to get such an opportunity. We were happy when we found someone who could help us. At that time, we were not aware that he had made racist and other controversial statements.
Statement from FOW in Discord
After the statement, the comments got even worse. Now, fans of Arch Warhammer and other “right-wing YouTubers” felt attacked: the leftists supposedly do not appreciate “virtual flesh and breasts.”
Developer team wants to end the discussion
So there was another statement from the developers. Now they wanted nothing to do with politics. They then stated:
Ultimately, we are just tit-software developers, but suddenly we are in the middle of a political debate.
2nd Statement from FOW
Subverse would have no political affiliation, it would be a game that everyone should play.
The current status is that Subverse will leave Arch Warhammer’s video up but makes it clear that they do not agree with “some of his comments from the past.” Now they should just end the topic and do not want to hear about it anymore.
Let’s see how well that works.
At the moment, it looks like Subverse has achieved a goal and gained attention with the action, while somewhat alienating both sides of the political spectrum.
A sex game that made positive headlines.
Sex games or “adult games” are indeed a prominent topic in the gaming world, even if they are rarely reported on. In February 2020, when the Corona pandemic was already raging in China, an adult game drew attention. The hentai game Mirror wanted to help contain the pandemic:
The Call of Duty: Warzone is known for its insane kill records and the coveted trophy for the longest sniper kill keeps moving forward. The YouTube channel “DefendTheHouse” has set the bar at over 3,000 meters.
What’s going on here? Call of Duty: Warzone has been on the market for almost 9 months, giving players enough time to test the limits of the game. However, dedicated Warzone soldiers are not deterred from experimenting further to see if those limits can be pushed.
Thanks to the new private matches in Warzone, such tests are now much more predictable for players, streamers, and YouTubers than they were a few months ago. With enough players, one can start their own lobby and work almost under “laboratory conditions”.
This is also what the Warzone scientists from the YouTube channel “DefendTheHouse” have done. Since the release of Warzone, the channel has published several “Mythbuster videos” where the two hobby researchers have tested the mechanics of the Battle Royale. Now it was time for the longest sniper shot.
New Sniper Record in Warzone is 3,068.07 Meters
How does that look? Their latest paper is titled “World Record Sniper Shot in Warzone” and is an English video in which the two channel operators demonstrate that you can still get kills in Warzone from a distance of 3 kilometers:

The two had tried to find the last boundary for hits in Warzone in an earlier video. However, they failed because they could only shoot at vehicles and not at real opponents. When shooting at vehicles, the limit is just under 2,500 meters.
The record to beat was previously at 2,459 meters and even happened during an ongoing cash drop round. Here, the Warzone mythbusters added a solid 550 meters and ended up with a staggering 3,068.07 meters.
What else have the guys investigated? Through the private matches, the two crazy Warzone scientists can now push even further to the limits. No mechanic seems safe from their judgment:
Can you stop the loot train?
Up to what distance can you get kills with rockets?
Check out their YouTube playlist on Warzone myths for more. If you want to learn more about the mechanics in Warzone, these two Battle Royale researchers provide strong content for you.
Recently, a streamer broke another record that also sets new standards. The skilled Warzone soldier and Twitch streamer “Aydan” set a new record with 60 kills in a match. MeinMMO shows you how he broke the record.

A lawsuit has been filed in the USA against Electronic Arts regarding the FIFA 21 series. The lawsuit addresses contentious issues such as the long-discussed momentum: EA is accused of manipulating difficulty levels in FIFA and the outcomes of matches. The plaintiffs believe that such mechanics lead to more pack purchases in FIFA 21.
This is the case: In the USA, three players filed a lawsuit in a district court in California against Electronic Arts. Several EA Sports games are addressed in this lawsuit:
The Madden NFL games 17 to 21
The NHL games 17 to 21
And the FIFA games – also parts 17 to 21
The focus is primarily on the Ultimate Team modes in the games, where players must build the strongest team possible. In FIFA 21, players can obtain players on the transfer market through tasks and other activities – but primarily from packs. The chances of pulling a strong player here are not particularly high.
Packs can be purchased with the coins earned in-game, but also with real money in the form of FIFA Points.
The topic of packs in FIFA 21 repeatedly causes controversy:
Primarily, the lawsuit focuses on the issues that players have been raising for years: mechanics that allegedly dynamically adjust the difficulty in the game.
Momentum, Scripting, and DDA as central points of the lawsuit
The lawsuit accuses EA of using mechanics like “Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment” (DDA) or “Adaptive Difficulty” without the majority of players’ knowledge and without disclosure: “At least some of these technologies use heuristic predictions and interventions to adaptively change the difficulty of games and influence or even dictate outcomes, thereby engaging players more deeply,” the plaintiffs accuse EA.
The plaintiffs aim to clarify several questions, such as: “Whether EA uses DDA, Adaptive Difficulty, or other mechanisms for adjusting difficulty (like scripting, throttling, or momentum) in its EA Sports games;”
They are also requesting disclosure on whether such mechanics are used in FUT, whether this influences match outcomes, and whether EA should have disclosed such a mechanism clearly.
This is the effect it should have on packs: The plaintiffs accuse EA in their lawsuit that such mechanics affect players who buy packs. They would have an influence on the game that goes beyond the stats of the players in their own team – making players from packs less valuable:
This is a self-reinforcing cycle that benefits EA to the detriment of EA Sports players, as the difficulty adjustment mechanisms lead players to believe their teams are not as good as they actually are, which causes them to purchase additional player packs in the hope of obtaining better players and being more competitive.
Excerpt from the lawsuit (translated from English)
Thus, players are led to buy more and more packs, according to the plaintiffs. According to them, the game violates California consumer protection laws, engages in false advertising, and leads to unjust enrichment.
This is EA’s response: In a brief statement to GamesIndustry.biz, an EA representative said: “We believe the claims are baseless and misrepresent our games, and we will defend ourselves.” The lawsuit was filed in November but has yet to be brought to court.
In addition to the discussion about momentum, another critical issue concerning FIFA 21 is currently being discussed: Zlatan Ibrahimovic raised the question on Twitter regarding player representation in FIFA 21 and whether it is even legal. Since then, a player advisor has continued this discussion.

On December 1st, the new prayers will be released in Genshin Impact. These will bring two new characters to the game. In this post, we introduce Zhongli in more detail and reveal his abilities and how you can obtain him.
Who is Zhongli? The new character is likely familiar to fans of Genshin Impact. He has already played a role in the story around Liyue and impressed with his likeable nature. He is reserved and philosophical, which is well received by many on reddit and in our comments.
We already know the following about the playable character Zhongli:
Element: Geo
Rarity: 5 stars
Weapon: Polearm
Occupation: Director of the funeral service in Liyue
Additionally, the developers released a short character demo to introduce him in more detail:

What can Zhongli do exactly? On the website Honey Impact, the attributes and abilities of the character have already been gathered through data mining:
Normal Attack: Performs up to 6 spear stabs
Charged Attack: Consumes a portion of stamina to jump forward, leaving spears along the jump
Elemental Skill – Press: Uses Geo power to create a stone pillar. This deals Geo damage to nearby enemies and can be used to block attacks
Elemental Skills – Hold: Creates an explosion that deals AoE damage and generates a shield of jade that scales with Zhongli’s max HP
Elemental Burst: Summons a meteor to fall to the ground, causing Geo AoE damage
The new prayer that will be released on December 1st.
The chance of obtaining a 5-star character is typically 0.6%, but increases the more prayers you open. If you obtain a 5-star character, there is a 50% chance it will be Zhongli the first time and a 100% chance the second time. We explain more about the gacha system in our FAQ.
You will also have an increased chance of obtaining Xinyan, Razor, and Chongyun from the prayer. The last two rank in the good midfield of our tier list.
However, you should hurry, as the prayer will be removed on December 22nd at 14:59. Unlike the character Xinyan, Zhongli will not be added to the standard prayer.
