The wrestling organization WWE has released Thea Megan Trinidad (29). She was an emerging star in the wrestling world under the ring name Zelina Vega. She apparently refused to follow a directive from management to give up her Twitch channel. The termination puts WWE in the spotlight of influential US politicians.
Why are so many wrestlers suddenly streaming? In the USA, the Corona pandemic is raging. This affects every public event.
The WWE is also feeling the restrictions. While TV shows are still happening, they are recorded in empty arenas.
As a result, WWE is losing a ton of money, as ticket sales and merchandising profits are missing. The missing money and opportunities to do their jobs are felt by the wrestlers.
The wrestler Paige is successful on Twitch.
Wrestlers at WWE are not employees, but independent contractors. They are feeling the lockdown acutely. Many wrestlers who are usually on tour all year are suddenly stuck at home, have no contact with fans, and their income opportunities are disappearing.
Therefore, many wrestlers have earned extra money in recent months by streaming on Twitch or sending messages for money through platforms like Cameo.
Many wrestlers are naturally charismatic entertainers and have a large following that follows them everywhere. People like Cesaro, A.J. Styles, or the wrestler Paige quickly found success on Twitch.
This is why WWE is banning it now: A few weeks ago, it became known that WWE is prohibiting its wrestlers from appearing on Twitch or earning extra money through Cameo.
It was stated: WWE invests a lot of money in the “stage names of the wrestlers,” therefore they want to maintain full control over it. It is crucial that WWE protects its “most important assets,” so they cannot allow individuals to do their own thing on a personal level.
According to an insider, the new policy stems from WWE hiring a new manager, Nick Khan, who is implementing new ideas and wants to take a more restrictive approach.
In fact, after the ban, some of the big WWE stars have ended their Twitch streams, such as Cesaro. They stated how much joy Twitch brought them, but said goodbye to their fans.

We have reported on MeinMMO about former wrestler Paige, who opposed this ban. Tearfully she stated that Twitch is extremely important to her, and she does not want to be prohibited from it. For Paige, the refusal to give up Twitch has so far not had any negative consequences, at least none that have become known.
“Heart broken,” says wrestler
This wrestler was fired: A wrestler who also refused to give up Twitch was Zelina Vega. She has now been fired by WWE. According to the Wrestling Observer, she was released because she had refused to give up her Twitch account.
Zelina Vega says her termination has broken her heart. But she claims this is not the last time people will see her:

These are the larger implications: Wrestling enjoys a high status in the USA. An important Democratic politician, the interim presidential candidate Andrew Yang, has already announced in September that he would address the “situation of wrestlers”.
He said that if he does not become Secretary of Labor himself, he will at least have the number of the Secretary of Labor. He finds it ridiculous that wrestlers are categorized as “independent contractors” while they are simultaneously prohibited from doing everything, even appearing on Cameo.
It is now clear that the Democrats are moving into the White House. Yang has already announced after the termination of Zelina Vega that he has not forgotten WWE and Vince McMahon.
Wrestling and gaming have some parallels and are continuously seeking proximity to each other. The streamer Dr Disrespect is actually something like a wrestling character himself and had a confrontation with the Undertaker a few weeks ago:
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) offers you 6 different types of weapons to choose from. We want to know from you in our survey which one is your favorite.
Here’s what it’s about: Although ESO comes with a wide variety of weapons, every one of you surely has a favorite. You can always equip two of them and switch your weapon in battle, but everyone must have a favorite. And that’s the one we want to know from you through a survey by MeinMMO.
A staff, two weapons, and a two-handed axe – this is how heroes face the enemy
The agony of choice when it comes to weapons
These types of weapons are available: In The Elder Scrolls Online, you have a lot of freedom concerning your combat strategy. You can choose from 6 different classes, all bringing different foundations.
Each class can be played as a tank, DD, or healer and can wear any armor. Not only is every armor available, but all types of weapons are also at your disposal in every class and provide you with additional skills. These are the 6 types of weapons:
Bow – A weapon for ranged combat, designed for physical damage
Healing Staff – The weapon for healers or for other classes that want to have a backup
Weapon with shield – Here, you carry a one-handed weapon and a shield. There are swords, axes, maces, and daggers
Two-handed – These weapons are great for stamina builds and are popular in PvP
Two weapons – This type of weapon allows you to deal high damage in physical melee combat. Here, too, there are swords, axes, maces, and daggers
Destruction Staff – The choice for magical damage, mostly in ranged combat
These 6 categories are just the respective overarching term for the individual weapons. Each of these types of weapons also has different variations, such as a destruction staff with the fire element. Let us know in the comments which specific weapons you use and which classes you play with them.
Choosing a race can also play a role here. The individual races provide partially higher experience gain for your types of weapons. For example, Wood Elves have improved bow skills and Argonians are skilled in using healing staffs.
This is how you vote: You can cast your vote in the survey tool attached below. Keep in mind that you only have one vote, so you need to decide on the absolute best weapon.
The survey ends on November 29.

In Season 22 of Diablo 3, there are 3 achievements that reward you with a cool pet – Deckard Cain as a walking, bearded book. All you need to do is complete the seasonal journey. We will show you how in this guide.
One of the requirements of the seasonal journey this time is to complete three achievements. While two are relatively simple, many players wonder which achievement to choose as the third to complete “Flawless Victory”.
We will show you which achievements can be easily completed. This way, you can quickly secure the pet from Season 22.
I have the pet and you will get it too!
Use these 3 achievements for Season 22
This is the first achievement: The easiest of the three achievements is “Mineral Collection”. For this, you need to upgrade three legendary gems to level 65. This happens almost automatically while you run through the Greater Rifts with the strong builds from Season 22.
If you are already on the last page of the seasonal journey, you should be ready for portals of level 75+. At this level, you can easily upgrade the stones with Urshi after completing a Greater Rift.
What is it? For “Boss Mode”, you need to kill specific bosses within 20 minutes of starting a game. There are 16 bosses on the list that need to be killed. What sounds difficult at first is actually easy with some coordination.
How to do it? You can complete this achievement solo, with 2 players, with 3 players, or even with 4 players. The more players in the group, the easier it becomes.
We have a guide to Boss Mode in Diablo 3 here for you. Just follow the group division and you will achieve the success with a good amount of remaining time.
Portal Mania
What is it? For this achievement, you need to successfully complete a Greater Nephalem Portal of level 55 or higher with six class sets. And it is easier than it sounds.
How to do it? The basic requirement is that you have progressed with your character in the season and have set aside sets along the way. If you haven’t done that yet, you should start now. Because you need to collect six sets.
This can be done, for example, with 5 sets of the Demon Hunter and one Monk set. But you can vary according to your taste and take one set from each class.
So equip your skill set for maximum mobility and durability. The rest will be taken care of by the shadow clones that are summoned once you activate pylons.
If you want, you can also play the sets as they were intended. The biggest challenge of this achievement is really just collecting enough sets. And this happens easily in Nephalem portals or with the help of Kadala, who often gives you the sets you don’t actually play with.
Your Reward – The Cain Chronicle in Season 22
If you have completed all the tasks, a cool pet awaits you as a reward. You equip it through the menu, where you find other companions, wings, banners, and more content. On PC, you reach this via the F1 key.
If you want, you can equip the ongoing reading now so it accompanies you in your adventures in the rifts. Just notice the huge steps the bearded book has to take to keep up with you. A real eye-catcher in group play!
Which achievements have you completed in Diablo 3 to finish the seasonal journey? And did you have any difficulties with it? Tell us here in the comments on MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other players who are currently playing.

The Twitch streamer and YouTuber Aydan “Aydan” Conrad broke the kill record of a single player in Call of Duty: Warzone – 60 kills in a match. Check out the clip here and find out how he did it.
The battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone has already set some fantastic kill records since its release in March 2020. The highest proven number of kills that a single player amassed in a match was 58.
The streamer and CoD YouTuber Aydan was able to top that. In a “Solo against Quads” game, where he faced entire 4-player teams as a solo player, he ended up with a whopping 60 on his kill count. An outstanding achievement, and his gameplay is impressive as well. We embed the edited YouTube video here for you:

60 Kills in a Match with Boss – All About His Playstyle
How did he approach it? An important prerequisite for such high kill numbers as a solo player are matches with larger teams. Instead of going into a camping solo playlist, he starts a BR-4 match without filling. This way, there are fewer teams on the map, but all of them can potentially deliver more kills.
Aydan remains fully focused from start to finish and shows at every encounter with opponents how important good and clever movement is. His behavior in the Super Store at the start of the match underscores this directly. He fires at enemies, scores many headshots, and even against his rather weak Uzi, his foes can hardly respond.
He plays exceptionally well and has an excellent decision-making ability. In almost all situations, he makes the right choice whether to take cover, fire at enemies, or attempt a flank to surprise opponents from an unexpected direction. No one seems to be able to stop him – except in one situation, when he is sent to the Gulag north of the airport tower in the warehouse.
After the intense battle in the Super Store, where he already scored 8 kills, he gets caught up in record fever and fetches his two meta weapons Kilo 141 and the R9-0 with Dragon’s Breath. From here on, he is on the hunt and perfectly demonstrates how to utilize every advantage that the equipment and the map of Warzone provide:
He uses many vehicles to reach the next team and get kills
Acquires drones to track teams without the Ghost perk
Watches for enemy vehicles on the map that could indicate enemies
Always uses cover to move to the next point
He “reads” his enemies to push them into unexpected situations
Particularly impressive is his fight against a four-player team north of the Super Store (YouTube video at 8:50). From the roof of the house, he takes a few shots at an enemy who then calls in a precision airstrike on him. He positions himself exactly at the corner by the stairs, where he can obviously be seen. However, the enemy team was so focused on the “push” that he can hit 3 of the opponents hard from this corner and also take out the fourth.
The entire match then even ends with a boss fight (YouTube video at 14:00). In the end, he is alone with a Juggernaut on the map, who can take much more damage than he can. He is unsure if he can handle it, but he stays focused, proceeds wisely, and takes out this opponent from the match.
Which weapons did he use? He fully relied on popular guns of the battle royale, which are considered particularly strong – Kilo 141 and R9-0:
Aydan’s Kilo 141 setup
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Singuard Arms 19.8″ Hitter
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 50-Round Magazine
Aydan’s R9-0 setup
Muzzle: Choke
Barrel: FORGE TAC Barrage
Laser: 5mW Laser
Ammunition: Dragon’s Breath Rounds
Grip: Rubberized Grip Tape
The Kilo 141 helps him from a distance of 10 meters. The weapon is extremely stable with the barrel and the VLK scope, allowing him to repeatedly land painful headshots on his opponents.
Anything that gets too close he takes out with his shotgun. The R9-0 offers a strong double shot that leads to heavy hits thanks to the fiery Dragon’s Breath ammunition. Here you can find more information about both weapons:
Which perks did he use? Here he relies on a combination that does not protect him from detection by drones, heartbeat sensors, or thermal optics, but provides advantages in duels with enemies:
What can players take away from this? Especially the way he moves is exemplary. In every situation where he cannot directly take down his enemies, he considers how he can surprise them. Each time he uses a way his opponents do not expect and gains an advantage over the often helpless foes.
You can try this yourself. If you know your opponent knows your position pretty well, use that to your advantage. Think briefly about how you would proceed and set traps for the enemy.
A good example of this is shown quite near the end of the video, just before the “boss fight” (YouTube video at 12:46). He drives his car visibly into the hangar for the enemy, but he gets out to then pressure the opponent from the other side. The enemy expects Aydan to stay in the car. Another easy kill.
However, it must be said that Aydan plays a lot of Warzone and is correspondingly skilled. But you should always keep an eye out for how you can improve yourself, and such strong gameplay videos are a good way to do that.
The strong playable character Fischl is currently available for free in Genshin Impact. However, this will change soon, so hurry up.
What is currently happening in Genshin Impact? The “Distant Stars” event is currently active in Genshin Impact, revolving around meteors. It runs until November 30 and offers a range of rewards that you can exchange for special event currency.
The most important reward of the event is the strong playable character Fischl. You can obtain the archer for free after completing all event quests. But you need to hurry, there isn’t much time left for that.
Get Fischl before it’s too late
How do I unlock Fischl? To obtain Fischl, you must complete all tasks of the “Princess Pact” quest line. This must happen by the end of the event on November 30, or the quest will expire.
Since November 23, all three phases of the event have been available, so you can complete everything in one go. The only prerequisite is that your adventure rank must be at least 20.
You start the quest in Mondstadt at the Adventurers’ Guild. The three parts of the event are:
Unknown Star
Star of Deceptive Dreams
Star of Destiny
What exactly the individual steps entail and how to solve them can be found in our detailed guide to the event:
What can Fischl actually do? Even though Fischl is “only” a 4-star character, she is a strong support character who enables good elemental combos with other characters. At the same time, she can also deal good personal damage and ranks at the top of the best 4-star characters in our list.
Is it worth it even if you already have Fischl? Definitely. Even if you have already unlocked Fischl as a character, you can still strengthen her thanks to the event. Instead of Fischl, you will receive her constellation and thus also powerful bonuses.
If you are more interested in Genshin Impact,this might also interest you:
What else does the event offer? Even if you have no interest in Fischl, you should check out the event. The individual quest steps are rewarded with primogems, and you can collect up to 360 of them in total.
Additionally, you will receive special currencies during the event called “Power of the Waning Stars” and “Essence of the Waning Stars.” You can exchange these currencies at the action merchant for various rewards:
Materials for character ascension (Wisdom of a Hero)
Mystical Enhancement Ore
Materials for talent improvement
There is also the Crown of Wisdom available in the shop, which you should definitely try to get.

Update 17:09: It is now known where TSM is investing the money it saves by not keeping Doublelift. SwordArt (23) is actually coming from Suning to TSM as a supporter.
He is said to earn $6 million for a 2-year contract, as stated by the head of TSM in an interview with the Washington Post.
From what is known, this is by far a new salary record for a LoL player in the West. At least for contracts that have become known or are rumored.
Doinb was the absolute star at the 2019 World Cup in LoL.
But at 27, Doublelift is also relatively old for a LoL player. Perhaps comments like those from world champion Doinb from China also reached him. Doinb said: In the USA, the same players always play and too few rookies come up. Doublelift and Bjergsen are now making way for a new generation:
Doublelift said: It feels wrong to retire on such a bad note, as following the Worlds embarrassment. But Bjergsen’s retirement has apparently troubled Doublelift.

Shortly after, it was announced that TSM would sign SwordArt, the supporter of WM finalist Suning. Doublelift would have received a high-class partner for the bot lane in his later years.
But the deal became complicated for visa reasons and dragged on. Insider Jacob Wolf reported: Doublelift did not want to play for TSM anymore if he did not receive “foreign support”.
It is likely that these circumstances played into the retirement decision. Perhaps Doublelift would have played for TSM in 2021 if the deal with SwordArt had gone through sooner.

In the League of Legends last year, Team Solo Mid had two legendary players. In 2021, TSM will have none. Following Bjergsen, Yilang “Doublelift” Peng has also announced his retirement. The bot laner has shaped US LoL like few others. The 27-year-old shone with his skill but ruined many chances with his massive ego.
Why is Doublelift so important? The bot laner Doublelift became a champion in the US LCS with 3 different teams. He played League of Legends since Season 1 and later became the star of US LoL. He has significantly influenced the history of the LCS and is regarded as one of the most well-known, talented, and controversial LoL players in the West.
Of the last 11 championships of the LCS, Doublelift has won 8:
In 2015, Doublelift became champion with Counter Logic Gaming. He was such an ego monster that he clashed with his supporter Aphromoo, who told the team: Either Doublelift goes or I go (via youtube).
Doublelift moved to TSM, his biggest rival, and won two championships there in 2016 and 2017. However, due to TSM’s lack of international success, management disbanded the team.
Those were still “good times” before TSM was shattered in 2017. Bjergsen and Doublelift in one picture.
After being kicked from TSM, he swore to take bitter revenge on the team, he moved to Team Liquid, winning 4 championships with them in 2018 and 2019.
When that was no longer enough, he returned to TSM and grabbed the 8th championship in the summer of 2020.
What was Doublelift like outside of Summoner’s Rift? The 8 championships show how much Doublelift has influenced the league. At the same time, he built a Twitch channel (1.4 million followers) and is someone who constantly shares his opinion on everything without holding back.
Later there was an affront because the manager held a phone conversation discussing internal details of TSM. The conversation became public because Doublelift was streaming at that moment and internal information leaked live via Twitch.
In spring 2020, it was a big topic: TSM’s manager supposedly brought in “her boyfriend,” Doublelift into the team.
“Everyone else is trash”
As a quote that made him famous, “Everyone Else is trash” – everyone is garbage, except him.
Doublelift started as a shy boy in League of Legends but has since developed into someone who flaunted not just being good, but especially being better than everyone else.
Doublelift clearly enjoyed the role of the “bad boy,” telling others how little they are capable of. He often does this with a smirk. There is surely some showmanship in this demeanor, but the question is: How much?
What still haunts him: Doublelift has never managed to get past the group stage at the Worlds. His teams always failed in the group phase.
Doublelift and Bjergsen were still the 2 stars in US LoL in 2020. Both have now retired.
Shy and unpopular before LoL – Confident afterwards
This is what Doublelift says: In a post on Twitter , the 27-year-old states that LoL has completely changed his life. Before he became a pro, he was a nerd and unpopular. In school, he was bullied, so he kept a low profile and tried not to stand out. He was shy, had zero self-confidence, and was basically someone who was forgotten while being seen.
As a pro LoL player, Doublelift finally gained recognition and pride. In the beginning, he faced harsh criticism. He played “too greedy”, didn’t fit in a team game like LoL, and was better as an analyst than as a player.
It was said that he could never win anything, but Doublelift trained 14 hours a day and then won 8 of the last 11 LCS championships.
From what is known, this is by far a new salary record for a LoL player in the West. At least for contracts that have become known or are rumored.
Doinb was the absolute star at the 2019 World Cup in LoL.
But at 27, Doublelift is also relatively old for a LoL player. Perhaps comments like those from world champion Doinb from China also reached him. Doinb said: In the USA, the same players always play and too few rookies come up. Doublelift and Bjergsen are now making way for a new generation:

Update 17:09: It is now known where TSM is investing the money it saves by not keeping Doublelift. SwordArt (23) is actually coming from Suning to TSM as a supporter.
He is said to earn $6 million for a 2-year contract, as stated by the head of TSM in an interview with the Washington Post.
From what is known, this is by far a new salary record for a LoL player in the West. At least for contracts that have become known or are rumored.
Doinb was the absolute star at the 2019 World Cup in LoL.
But at 27, Doublelift is also relatively old for a LoL player. Perhaps comments like those from world champion Doinb from China also reached him. Doinb said: In the USA, the same players always play and too few rookies come up. Doublelift and Bjergsen are now making way for a new generation:
The Penitent Hunt in WoW Shadowlands is causing issues for some players. We will reveal where to find the NPCs to complete the quest.
In the Venthyr of Revendreth, a new area of WoW: Shadowlands, things are anything but gentle. Souls are often tortured and tormented for fun during a hunt to extract Anima from them. However, the Penitent Hunt frustrates some players. The reason is that the quest objectives are not always correctly displayed on the map and minimap.
What do you need to do for the quest? For the quest “The Penitent Hunt” in WoW: Shadowlands, you need to hunt the recently released NPCs and instill real fear in them. First, however, you speak with the Fearmonger to start the event. Instilling fear is achieved – as is often the case in WoW – by attacking the penitents and nearly killing them. Normally, the NPCs are shown on the large map and also on the minimap, but there is currently a bug that prevents this from always working.
Here you can find Tiana, Yoshai, and Loksey – Coordinates
Where are the NPCs located? The exact coordinates of the NPCs are as follows:
Boss Tiana: 50 / 61
Yoshai the Merciless: 45 / 70
Master Hound Loksey: 47 / 64
With Master Hound Loksey, you need to be careful that he is being attacked by Truulax, who you must take out first. A video also shows the quest process:
https://youtu.be/HlXL8VkCWHo
However, please note that the NPCs may also be temporarily unavailable if they have just been defeated by other players. In that case, you just have to wait a few moments. This can take a few minutes in rare cases.
Other quests in Shadowlands are also causing discussions:
How can you see coordinates? It is not possible to see coordinates in World of Warcraft from the game itself. You need an interface addon like MapCoords (link to download on Curseforge). The currently best addons that everyone should install for WoW: Shadowlands, we present to you in this article.
Did you also have problems with the Penitent Hunt? Or did you complete the quest without any difficulties?

In Destiny 2, as a member of Amazon Prime or Prime Gaming, you can currently claim some Exotics. MeinMMO explains how anyone can secure the Twitch Prime loot for free and what rewards are available.
What is the Twitch Prime loot about? As Bungie has now announced, the studio is teaming up with Prime Gaming for another year. Players with an active “Amazon Prime” and/or “Prime Gaming” membership can benefit from this and grab additional in-game rewards for Destiny 2 across all platforms.
In this new cooperation year, there are set to be 12 monthly gear drops. Each drop will contain four Prime Gaming rewards such as exotic weapons, Ghost shells, ships, Sparrows, or weapon ornaments from previous seasons of Destiny 2.
When exactly can you secure these items? The first new gear drop has been available since November 25. You have until December 23 to claim it.
The following items can currently be secured through Twitch Prime: The first new Twitch Prime drop includes the following items:
the exotic emote “Unleashed” (seasonally inspired)
the exotic Sparrow “The Royal Howl”
the exotic ship “Transpose JT-24-X”
as well as the legendary Ghost shell “Bow Shell”
These are the 4 drops
Additionally, Bungie announced that at the start of each new season, there will be a special, seasonally inspired item available through the Twitch Prime loot in the respective month. For the current Season 12, the Season of the Hunt, it is the emote “Unleashed”.
This is how it works as an Amazon Prime member: Access to Twitch Prime is automatically available to Amazon Prime members; you just need to log in there and link your accounts. This is a service from Amazon.
If you’re already an Amazon Prime or Prime Gaming member and have linked your Twitch account to your Bungie account, simply visit the page of Prime Gaming. Log in, and you should see Destiny 2 directly under “In-Game Loot and More”. Go there for new content and claim it.
If you are a Prime member but have not yet linked your Bungie account, you can do so on this page.
This is how it works without a Prime membership: If you don’t have an Amazon Prime membership, it should not be a problem. You can test Amazon Prime or directly Prime Gaming free and without restrictions – as long as you have not done so already. You can register for the Prime Gaming test on this page.
Important: However, note that you must cancel the service before the 30 days expire if you do not want to use it longer. After that, monthly fees of 7.99 € will apply.
Now visit Amanda
Where can the items be found in Destiny 2? After you have successfully logged in and claimed your loot, you must visit Amanda Holliday in the game. You will find the mechanic in the Tower’s hangar.
What do you think of the current Prime loot? Is there anything you missed and absolutely want? Are you a complete newcomer and excited about new Exotics? Or do you have no interest in such exotic gifts?
A YouTuber has turned his Xbox Series S into an emulator for classic games. Games like Mario Kart or Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2 run with strong performance.
What is it about? The YouTuber Modern Vintage Gamer presented in a video how to play classic games on the Xbox Series S. He played various games on the next-gen console and demonstrated the performance.
Where can you watch it? You can watch the entire English video on YouTube. Here you can also see how well the games perform on the Xbox Series S.

Playing classic Sony and Nintendo games on Xbox Series S
This is how it works: The YouTuber started the official Developer Mode of the Xbox Series S and then installed “Retro Arch”. “Retro Arch” is an emulator overlay that consolidates emulators and ROMs into a single interface. Afterwards, several emulators can be used. The YouTuber tested a few to demonstrate the performance:
Dolphin Emulator ( Nintendo GameCube and Wii games)
Beetle Emulator (Sega Saturn)
Reicast Emulator (Sega Dreamcast)
GameCube classics like Metroid Prime or The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker run smoothly and with very good performance on the Xbox Series S. A few titles do have issues, but most titles run very stable.
What to consider: A few obstacles will be put in the way of interested parties. To unlock the “Developer Mode” of the Series S, you must register your Xbox Series S with Microsoft and pay a one-time fee of 20 US dollars.
After that, you can install the “Unified Windows Platform (UWP)” version of Retro Arch via the console’s web browser. After that, it is not difficult to integrate emulators into the system.
Also important: Once the Xbox Series S is in Developer Mode, you cannot play regular Xbox games anymore. If you want to play next-gen games, you need to switch the console back to normal mode. The switch between the two modes is not very complicated.
Buying Xbox Series S: Who is it worth it for?
But who is the Xbox Series S worth it for? The Xbox Series S is the smallest and cheapest next-gen console. The console only achieves WQHD (1440p), offers no disc drive, and is therefore only a device for digital needs. However, the Xbox Game Pass offers a large selection of games for little money.
Who the Xbox Series S is worth it for and who should refrain from buying it, we explain in this article:
Marvel’s Avengers is not a financial success for publisher Square Enix. In a report to investors, the company president expressed clear words and admitted that the development costs have not even been recouped. However, they do not want to give up on the game just yet. A model here is likely the later success of games like Final Fantasy XIV.
What has been said about Marvel’s Avengers? Yosuke Matsude, the president of publisher Square Enix, recently released a report to investors. It also addressed the troubled Marvel’s Avengers. That the superhero MMO is not performing well is no secret. The player numbers are dwindling and the game has caused huge losses for the publisher in light of sales.
According to Matsude, the game has not even recouped its development costs:
The initial sales of “Marvel’s Avengers” were lower than we expected and could not fully cover the amortization of the game’s development costs. In the second half of the fiscal year (“2H”), we hope to compensate for the sluggish initial sales by offering plenty of additional content to boost our sales.
Square Enix wants to turn things around
What is specifically planned? The “plentiful additional content” mentioned by the CEO is partly already known.
We know that at least Kate Bishop will be coming to the servers on December 8, 2020. Early in 2021, content regarding Hawkeye and the villain Maestro will be released.
A leak has already revealed several more Marvel heroes, including Captain Marvel, She-Hulk, War Machine, and Black Panther. Additionally, a large raid in Wakanda is firmly scheduled. However, these contents do not yet have a release date.
Here, the outstanding development chief Naoki Yoshida and his team were able to completely redesign the game through hard work, ultimately making it one of the publisher’s most successful titles.
I fear the worst and hope for the best
If the currently struggling Marvel’s Avengers is to pull off a similar story, similar amounts of work will have to flow into the project. It will require massive bug fixes, much more new content, and a convincing marketing campaign.
After all, more must happen than just bringing the relatively unknown heroine Kate Bishop into the game with a bit of mission content months late and then talking about “plentiful new content.” The remaining fans of Avengers want more content, and they actually wanted it yesterday.
However, all this new content costs a lot of time and money, and it remains to be seen whether Square Enix and its investors are willing to bear it long enough.
Jürgen Horn Editor at MeinMMO
By the way, I really do not want my superpower of killing games to repeat with Marvel’s Avengers. The game is simply too fun and entertaining.

Anyone looking to buy or order a PS5 has to keep an eye on many markets right now. We definitely need a Twitch stream like this for retailers here.
What kind of stream is this? On Twitch, you can currently follow live in the stream of killercam1020 how the availability of the PlayStation 5 looks at various retailers.
Every few seconds, the broadcast updates the list of PS5 and Xbox Series X stocks at Amazon, Target, GameStop, Bestbuy, Newegg, Walmart, and AmazonUK. The stream also shows the current time and when new consoles were last available.
It’s a brilliant idea considering how many people are still trying to get a PS5.

The downside: The stream shows US and UK retailers. Stores like Media Markt, Saturn, and Otto, which are attractive for gamers in Germany, are not shown.
But the idea is so brilliant that we need something like this as well. This would reduce chaos when pre-ordering in Germany. It would be immediately clear at a glance in the stream which site to visit to secure a console. It saves a lot of work and nerves.
How does it work?
Here’s what it’s about: As Polygon.com reports, Cam Ritz runs this streaming channel and uses a program called Streetmerchant (via jef.codes/streetmerchant). This is publicly accessible and is said to be “the easiest tool in the world to check supplies.”
And does it work? Ritz explained to Polygon that some of his viewers have already secured a PS5 or Xbox Series X with the help of his stream. “I did this to help others,” Ritz humbly explains.
He himself was able to secure a PS5 right at the start of pre-orders. He plans to add more retailers to his watch list.
You should keep in mind: If you want to secure one of the coveted PlayStation 5 consoles through this stream, there will be a significant fee for shipping and likely also for importing from abroad. So make sure to find out how much everything will ultimately cost if you want to order there – and do so before you do.
A father used this method to buy a PS5 for his child
This is what Sony says: Directly from Sony, there is good news. They confirm that there will be more PS5 stock in 2020. So this could mean another chance for you to comfortably play the latest PS5 games with a controller in hand over the holidays while munching on speculaas cookies – provided shipping is accordingly fast.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the new map Nuketown ’84 has a nasty glitch that causes unfair kills. The dilemma is based on an old trick that was already usable in previous Nuketown maps.
In some of these maps from the past, there was a trick that allowed you to drive the scorestreak of the remote-controlled car (RC-XD) through hidden paths on a small race track around the map into the enemy spawn area. A user on reddit shows it here:

However, the current Nuketown-84 map still allows players to follow a form of this path, which clearly should not be in the developers’ intentions.
Old trick becomes game-threatening glitch
This is what the glitch does:According to Dexerto, their staff have found a way to glitch through the edge of the map. From there, you can apparently directly enter the enemies’ starting area and easily farm kills there. By the time the enemy reacts, you may have gained a valuable advantage.
However, we will not explain how the glitch works here. Please do not exploit such unfair advantages, as it is not fair to your opponents and may even lead to a ban. In the near future, you should be a bit more cautious at the outer spawn points and watch out for unwanted guests from the neighborhood.
The developers hopefully will fix this severe glitch soon with a hotfix. Then maybe a bug on another map will also become a thing of the past. Because in the Moscow map in CoD Cold War there are deadly windows where you can get hopelessly stuck. Then only death can free you from this dire situation.

In Pokémon GO there could soon be an update regarding the egg slots. Data miners have found hints of a slot for special eggs.
This has been discovered: The data miners from “Pokeminers” have taken a close look at the code of Pokémon GO again and have come across something new related to eggs.
A new egg slot is said to be coming, specifically designed for special eggs. Many trainers are now hopeful that an update will soon come to the game that will significantly simplify the gameplay.
New Egg Slot Just for Special Eggs
This could be behind the find: A new egg distribution has been found between “Normal” and “Special”. In addition, the new egg slot was discovered with a background and a new page in the game.
Now it can be assumed that Pokémon GO will soon categorize different eggs between “Normal” and “Special”. Normal eggs will get one egg slot, while the new egg slot will be for the special eggs.
This would simplify things: Until now, it has always been the case that you had to keep an egg slot free to get to these special eggs. Only if you had a maximum of 8 eggs could you also receive a crypto egg or the egg from the weekly reward. If you accidentally spun a PokéStop and received a regular egg there, you had to hatch an egg again to get the special eggs.
With the update, it could be easier to obtain the special eggs, and you wouldn’t have to clear an egg slot anymore. This would be a significant simplification in the search for eggs.
You should consider this: So far, these are findings from data miners. They have not yet been officially confirmed by Niantic. Therefore, you should view the findings with a degree of skepticism, even if the Pokeminers are a reliable source for such findings.
What is definitely confirmed are the upcoming events in December:
The quest “Trade and Change” causes issues for some WoW players. We’ll tell you where you need to turn it in.
More and more players are slowly reaching level 60 in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands and want to try out the endgame content. However, a small quest causes problems because players cannot find the place to turn in the quest. We’ll reveal how you can complete “Trade and Change”.
What kind of quest is this? You receive the “Trade and Change” mission at level 60 in Oribos after completing the main campaign. You get it from the innkeeper “Host Ta’rela,” the only inn in Oribos called “The Idyllia.” It’s essentially just a fetch quest that wants you to report to Finder Ta’sul. He is shown on the map one level “lower.” However, this does not refer to the “Ring of Transfer,” but rather another, somewhat hidden level.
Where do you turn in “Trade and Change”? You don’t need to leave the inn. Just turn to your right while standing in front of the quest giver. You will then enter the dining room of the inn. From there, look to your left. Two “security specialists” are guarding a small gate that seemingly ends in a wall.
Just turn right and go through the gate.
Pass through the gate and turn right. Here you will find a staircase that leads you deeper into the vaults of Oribos.
The staircase continues downward.
From here on, you can’t get lost anymore. Just follow the staircase down until you enter the room “The Hideout of the Mediator”. Here you will find the quest giver and subsequently also the follow-up quests.
You get the weekly quests for dungeons from these NPCs.
Why is the quest important? The quest is relevant because it leads you to the weekly dungeon quests. These not only reward you with a nice chunk of reputation points with a new faction of your choice but also with equipment that can be quite useful for fresh characters at level 60. So it’s worth checking in here every week and completing the quests.
If you are interested in more about WoW, this might interest you:
“Reading the quest” helps: This mission is, by the way, a typical case where reading the quest description would definitely be worthwhile. The quest already indicates that you should look into the “dark corridors opposite the pots” – which can be found in the adjoining room of the inn.
You should come by here every week to pick up new quests and be doubly rewarded for completing dungeons.
The action RPG Torchlight 3 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is receiving a winter update in mid-December. But how is the game doing right now, 5 months after the failed launch of the early access phase?
What is Torchlight 3? Torchlight 3 was originally planned as a sort of hack and slash MMORPG. An action RPG in which you explore the game world together with many friends and fight monsters. After numerous tests, the developers decided to change the game to a classic hack and slash with a focus on single-player, small co-op groups, and random areas.
You set off with your hero to complete quests, defeat monsters, and collect loot. This allows you to experience a story in which you will get your own fort that you can expand according to your ideas.
Torchlight 3 offers many battles against enemies in randomly generated areas.
At the official release in October, 46% of the 4,770 Steam reviews were positive. Currently, the ratings from 6,368 players stand at 48%.
How is the game being received now? Here we summarize a few of the newer reviews:
The_Driver writes on Steam: “Endgame feels hastily cobbled together and lacks any real goal, except to reach higher levels, etc. Technical disaster, starts with long loading times and doesn’t even end with unreliable movement skills.”
Ajora sees it a bit more positively: “I don’t understand why there are so many negative reviews. Is it the best thing since sliced bread? No. Is it the best action RPG ever made? Certainly not. Still, it’s fun.”
holydonkey17 has hope for the game: “I won’t lie. The game is still very rough. There’s hardly any story and it’s quite buggy. But the developers are doing their best and post weekly updates and bring many improvements to the game. I believe it has a great future ahead.”
C_WHOA agrees: “I really can’t understand why it’s so hated. Just play it and forget that it’s called Torchlight 3.”
Guido thinks the game is actually good: “Great casual action RPG!”
Is it worth it now? Torchlight 3 is still struggling with issues like bugs and those looking for an exciting story could be disappointed. However, a lot has changed in the game since the release.
One problem is that the predecessor Torchlight 2 was very well received by players and the community was disappointed with the release of the third part. This still hangs over the action RPG. However, those who want to give the game a chance can expect a quite nice casual action RPG.

The video introduces the winter update of Torchlight 3.
What’s new for the game? With the “Snow & Steam” update, winter is coming to the fantasy world of Novastraia. This means that you can decorate your own fort winter and Christmas style. New decoration options will be available to you through the “Snow & Steam” quest. This even includes an “ugly cat sweater.” Also included are new pets that will accompany you during your adventures.
Additionally, it is possible to acquire new legendary equipment. These include:
A new mace
A sword
A shield
A focus
A set of armor
In addition, the following are included:
A revamp of the Forged class with a new HUD, reworked skills, and a style station for visual customization, as well as
bug fixes
basements for your fort
better rewards at higher difficulty levels
optimizations for pets, drop rates, and more.
When is the winter update coming? The developers have not yet provided an exact launch date. However, it is expected to be released for Torchlight 3 in mid-December.
The most famous pandaren from World of Warcraft is leveling up again. He is now at level 52 – and still in the starting area.
This is one of those news items that always appear shortly after the release of a new expansion, and WoW: Shadowlands is no exception. The now legendary pandaren Doubleagent is on the move again and on his way to level 60. He seems to have chosen the most challenging path to reach the new maximum level.
Who is Doubleagent? Doubleagent is a pandaren shaman from the US server Mannoroth, who has built quite a reputation over the years. Although he regularly reaches the maximum level in World of Warcraft, he belongs to neither the Horde nor the Alliance. He has simply never left the starting area of the Pandaren and thus has not needed to join any faction. Even today, he is still on the island, making his way to the maximum level without committing to the Horde or the Alliance.
How does he collect XP? Doubleagent collects XP through the few opportunities available to him on the Pandaren island. This is limited to picking flowers, mining ores, and occasionally some pet battles that he completes on other characters to redeem them on Doubleagent.
Doubleagent is back on tour. You can see his progress in the WoW Armory.
How far is Doubleagent? Already now, two days after the release of Shadowlands, Doubleagent has reached level 52 with this method, meaning he is still 8 level-ups away from the new maximum. As the early levels required relatively few XP, this went quite quickly. How long it will take him for the upcoming levels is still hard to estimate.
Doubleagent has an NPC in the game: The whole action is so famous that Blizzard even dedicated a NPC to Doubleagent. In the monks’ class hall in Legion, you can see a NPC wandering in the background, collecting ores and picking herbs. The NPC is dedicated to Doubleagent, who has been doing exactly that for weeks and months to level up.
It is nice to see that some legends in World of Warcraft will probably never disappear. Doubleagent is definitely one of the more entertaining ones.
With Beyond Light, Destiny 2 has received a new exotic sword – The Lament. A player has now discovered how this new weapon exotic can deal significant damage even without ammunition.
What was discovered about the weapon: Normally, swords in Destiny 2 also require ammunition. While you can swing the blade without ammunition, it causes significantly less damage and is also slower—regardless of whether it’s a heavy or light attack.
The Lament is apparently an exception, at least for now. As Redditor and Destiny player Astrological_X has discovered and shared in the Raidsecrets subreddit, the heavy attack of The Lament also works without ammunition—but only with a trick.
How this works: If you perform the heavy attack with The Lament while jumping and hitting an opponent without ammunition, it deals damage as if you have heavy ammo available. In short: even without ammunition, you deal heavy damage with The Lament—in all modes and areas of Destiny 2.
That’s why Guardians now have to fear the exotic sword
Here’s what you need to be careful about: This trick can be quite useful in PvE and can help you in numerous situations, especially when ammunition runs out.
However, this trick is already being used in PvP as well. It works there too. You can take down a Guardian at full health with just one hit using this trick, as I, MeinMMO author Sven Galitzki, have already experienced myself.
Here’s how it looks in the Crucible:

So be cautious. Even early in the game and without a regular Heavy spawn, you can already be sent to the virtual beyond by a sword-wielder. So play a bit more carefully and keep this information in mind—especially if you’ve already encountered a sword-wielder in the match.
Should this be the case? Even though some may still be pondering and the sword offers some unique mechanics—no, most likely not. Some assume that it’s only a matter of time before this glitch gets fixed or the sword gets completely deactivated—especially with regard to PvP or Gambit.
Bungie itself has not commented on this yet, although in other comparable cases they responded quite quickly. The trick was also discovered before the recently released hotfix 3.0.0.4, but it was not fixed there.
It remains to be seen whether and when Bungie will address this discovery. Until then: Enjoy it in PvE and be careful in PvP. Because the trick is already being used actively there.
After 7 years of drought, 2021 finally looks like the year when new AAA MMORPGs will be released here in Germany. With Lost Ark and New World, two high-profile games are set to launch in Europe. Project TL is also set to be released, even though it has only been announced for South Korea so far. These are three games that many MMORPG fans have been waiting for a long time. One for even 10 years.
When was the last good MMORPG year?2014 marked the end of the era of “WoW killers.” That year, WildStar and The Elder Scrolls Online were the last two high-profile Western MMORPGs to be released in the same year. The Free2Play hit ArcheAge from South Korea caused a stir towards the end of the year. In November 2014, the WoW expansion, Warlords of Draenor, was released, which at least provided a strong campaign, even if the endgame was disappointing.
[toc]
All three new MMORPGs from 2014 had a successful launch and had to cope with huge demand but revealed weaknesses and quickly ran into difficulties . ESO managed to turn things around and became a hit after being ported to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One starting in 2015. WildStar did not make a comeback, first going Free2Play and shortly thereafter shutting down. ArcheAge flared up intermittently. The MMORPG was particularly exciting at launch when everyone was competing for building spots.
Those were the days: In 2014, WildStar was fighting for survival. Unfortunately, it didn’t make it.
Although the MMORPGs of 2014 brought a lot of sorrow, the year 2014 gave us the last major wave of fresh online role-playing games. If you wanted to, you could spend a lot of time in the worlds of the new MMORPGs in 2014.
What has happened between 2014 and now? Little has happened: Only Black Desert has broken into the ranks of “great MMORPG hits in the West.” Since then, 5 major MMORPGs have more or less shared the player base in the West:
WoW – has had two peaks since 2016 with Legion and 2019 with WoW Classic. It’s still the “largest MMORPG” in 2020, but is no longer the undisputed king it was in 2010 during the Lich King times. WoW has become more of a “first among equals.”
WoW has been sitting on the MMORPG throne for 15 years.
The Elder Scrolls Online has made a positive development and is probably the hottest MMORPG for console players. It attracts especially those who usually don’t have much to do with MMORPGs and prefer adventure like Skyrim but want to experience the adventures with their friends.
Black Desert offers something for fans of grinding and graphics. It focuses on different game concepts and aesthetics than Western titles and has been actively developed in recent years.
Final Fantasy XIV has undergone a strong development and offers solid and inspired MMORPG food with a rich history. It’s an excellent MMORPG all around.
Guild Wars 2 has its fans who adore it and spend thousands of hours in it. The fantasy MMORPG follows its own concepts in development, which come with pros and cons. They are paving their own way.
Games from Asia couldn’t establish themselves in the West or caused disappointments like Bless – hardly a month goes by without an MMORPG from the second and third tier dying .
Good new MMORPGs have been hard to find in recent years.
AAA games that are in development and many are waiting for either don’t come to Germany or are postponed. New World was actually considered a safe bet for a 2020 release – but has already been pushed back twice due to the pandemic.
But 2021 might finally be the year. 3 AAA MMORPGs are planning their release for 2021. And fans have been looking forward to each of these games for years: now it should finally happen.
In October, the new Watch Dogs: Legion was released. The action game received mixed reviews but managed to excite some fans. In December, a major update was scheduled to introduce a co-op mode. However, this has now been postponed.
What happened? As Ubisoft announced in a blog post, the release of the multiplayer mode has been postponed to early 2021. They cited existing technical issues as the reason, which also contributed to the average ratings on Metacritic.
Currently, Ubisoft aims to focus on update 2.20, which is supposed to bring new stability across all platforms and a save button for PC. The release for this is still planned for this week.
In the following weeks and months, further fixes and improvements for the single-player mode are also expected. The multiplayer will only be released when Watch Dogs: Legion runs smoothly and the co-op mode has been thoroughly tested.
In the co-op of Watch Dogs: Legion, you will be accompanied by up to 4 players – when it is released.
What is the co-op mode? In co-op, you should explore London together with up to 3 other players and master special modes and events.
The characters from the single-player mode cannot be transferred to co-op. Instead, the multiplayer is intended to function independently.
How is it going with Watch Dogs: Legion in general? In this action game, you assume the role of a hacker and explore virtual and open London. You try to persuade more and more people to join your resistance.
However, the over 9 million characters available in the game often appear very similar and rarely offer real depth. Additionally, there has been criticism for weak AI and uninspired action combat that offers little variety.
To what extent these criticisms will be addressed by Ubisoft in the near future has not yet been detailed. Similarly, we currently do not know whether this postponement will affect upcoming content like the DLC featuring Aiden Pearce.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In Destiny 2 players discovered a loot cave in the Cosmodrome and were very excited about it. However, Bungie identified the flaw and removed the endless spawn of enemies. But players are already looking for a new cave.
What is the Loot Cave about? There was also a cave in Destiny located in the Cosmodrome where a lot of loot could be farmed in a relatively short time and with little effort. Players have found such a cave again in Destiny 2 Beyond Light.
Where could the next Loot Cave be located? The reddit user Sanches319 has already found a first similar spot on the western side of Asterion Abyss in Europe.
There, a HVT Minotaur appears irregularly. As long as it is alive, many Harpies will spawn that can be defeated and looted. However, this spot has the disadvantage that the Minotaur appears only rarely and can also be killed.
But perhaps other players will find a better spot in the coming days.
