The movie about Monster Hunter has received a new trailer. And this time the focus is where it should be: on monsters, hunters, and the Palico head chef! Finally, it’s a trailer that MeinMMO author Larissa Then likes.
When a film about Monster Hunter was announced in 2018, I was initially very hyped. I had just started with Monster Hunter World and loved the game. Today, 1000 hours of gameplay later, I still look forward to the film.
I have been a big Monster Hunter fan for years, even before Monster Hunter World. However, I was quite disappointed by the first teaser for the film. Usually, I like to let movies come to me and do not judge them hastily based on trailers. However, my excitement here was truly dampened. And it wasn’t just me, but many others in the community felt the same way.
The first trailer felt more like a dull movie about Call of Duty with lots of military PR. Some soldiers are shooting some guns at the monsters. And one of them is even too dumb to close the right eye while shooting, whatever the reason for that may be.
The official Chinese trailer for the Monster Hunter movie
A focus on hunters and monsters
The latest trailer gives me hope, and in many ways. The action, the monsters, the characters, everything just feels like Monster Hunter and no longer like a clumsy action shootout.
These monsters can be seen: In the first trailers, and in a video with the developers of Monster Hunter World, we have already seen the first monsters. These included Diablos and Rathalos as well as the small Apceros.
The new trailer offers an even deeper insight. There, spider-like Nerscylla scurry around, seemingly fulfilling another purpose.
Furthermore, we briefly see a Gore Magala, at least as far as I recognized it. This means that two monsters appear in the film that were not in Monster Hunter World, which I would like to see more of.
A small look at what I think is Gore Magala
This is what the main characters are doing: I just mentioned a deeper purpose of the Nerscylla: I now finally know how to pronounce it! But in addition, Tony Jaa and Milla Jovovich seem to want to put the Diablos to sleep with their poison.
However, a certain language barrier separates the two main characters, which I find quite understandable and likable. The hunter has to explain to his soldier colleague with gestures what he actually wants from her.
This already brings a smile to my face in the trailer and is not the only moment. Even when Milla doesn’t want to play the bait a second time, I had to grin. But the funniest was the hunter’s facial expression when Milla says “Let’s do this” to him:
Silence… Silence… Silence… Huh?
Overall, the role with Tony Jaa seems well-cast and well-written. He knows what he has to do, and that in fine old Monster Hunter manner. Going after monsters with huge weapons and all kinds of tricks.
I’m in love with a Palico
What I like most about the trailer, however, is the meowscular chef. I was already a big fan of the former warrior who now dedicates his life to cooking in Monster Hunter World.
In the trailer for the film, he is really well portrayed, even the cooking sequence, as known from Monster Hunter World, is featured. However, when he throws the kiss at the camera at the end, I was completely in love.
So the last few seconds are my favorite in the new trailer for the Monster Hunter movie. The kiss from the Palico was definitely meant for me!
The Palico that the women (and men) trust
Additionally, another small hope creeps in. Even though the film itself has nothing to do with the developers of Monster Hunter, I have not yet given up hope for a weapon switch.
In the film, Tony Jaa alternates between a bow and a great sword. Something like a weapon switch likely won’t happen, but one can dream.
Now I am curious about what we can really expect from the film and what monsters will join the ranks. Maybe there is even a few Iceborne monsters waiting for us.

The new Exotic sword “The Lament” from Beyond Light can now be earned in Destiny 2. We will show you how the quest “Gigantic Expectations” unfolds and where you can find the dead Exos, the gigantic Exo, and the blade pieces on Europa.
What’s going on in Destiny 2? Recently, the Beyond Light raid launched in the Deep Stone Crypt in Destiny 2. And after the new raid was mastered, a lot has changed. For instance, two new weapon Exotics from the Beyond Light expansion can now be earned.
These include the Exotic sniper Wolkenschlag as well as the sword The Lament. And MeinMMO explains to you how to obtain this new exotic sword.
The Lament (The Lament)
This is how the exotic quest “Gigantic Expectations” for “The Lament” unfolds
This new exotic quest consists of a total of 11 steps and revolves around the Clovis Bray AI as well as tasks related to the new location Europa.
Where do you get the quest? The quest was unlocked for all owners of Beyond Light after the first team cracked the new raid in the Deep Stone Crypt. You will receive the task from the gunsmith Banshee-44 in the Tower.
Here are the individual steps
1. Find 3 dead Exos: Right at the beginning of the new quest, you need to find 3 dead Exos on Europa. You will need to scan the bodies of the robots. MeinMMO presents you with the locations of all 9 hidden Exos – but for the Lament quest you only need any 3 of them. It starts in the video at minute 1:12:

2. Find the gigantic Exo: Now you need to find a gigantic Exo hidden in Bray Exo science. Just put a marker on the quest step and follow it along this route:
https://youtu.be/nvMFmtBk02g
3. Gigantic Expectations: Now you must prove yourself worthy to the Clovis AI by taking out Vex all across Europa with swords. A total of 100 Vex must be defeated, of which 20 must be Minotaurs, Hydras, or Cyclopses.
4. Gigantic Expectations: It continues with the Clovis AI. You now need to obtain and complete the listed quests from Commander Zavala and Variks to prove yourself before the Clovis AI and continue “Lost Lament”. For this, you need to have completed “Fall of the Empire”, “Reclamation of Europa” and “The Priestess of Darkness” – these tasks you could have already completed before the Exo quest went live.
5. Gigantic Expectations: You are still working with the Clovis AI and still need to prove that you are worthy – this time by completing an Exo challenge. Currently, this is the new replayable mission called “Old Secrets, New Challenges” in Bray science (Power level 1.230, found on the map after the first playthrough as “Simulation: Survive”). Mark it on the map, then you should find it easily in the first large hall of the research complex. The mission is self-explanatory.
6. Gigantic Expectations: Now you have almost convinced the AI. You now need to eliminate 60 Vex with finishers to finally satisfy it. Powerful Vex grant greater progress.
7. Save the Past – Find Blade Pieces: Now the strike “The Corridor of Mirrors” awaits you on Europa. Simply select this on the Europa map. There you need to find the blade pieces for the sword. Don’t waste any time searching, the item is found at the very end in the boss room. You will get the parts dropped there by one of the Harpies with yellow health bars – and the entire team will get them if you have all progressed equally far in the quest.
8. Blade of Broken Dreams: After the strike, you will return to the Tower. There you should speak with Banshee-44 about the broken blade.
9. Blade of Broken Dreams: Next, you should search for an abandoned bunker in the Eventide ruins on Europa and explore its interior. Simply defeat the boss there and open the chest.
10. Complete “Reforging the Past”: Now you no longer need to impress the AI, but this time it is relying on you. You will go on the mission “Reforging the Past” to save the Clovis AI from destruction. The mission is self-explanatory and at the end, the finished sword will await you.
11. Last stop: Finally, return to the Tower to Banshee-44 to report your discoveries and complete the quest.

This is what makes the weapon special: The Lament is an exotic sword, meaning it is a power weapon, and deals solar damage.
The exotic perk is called Banshee’s Wail. This is how the sword works:
Hold the light attack button to intensify the blade. This increases damage, bypasses shields, and adds “shield-piercing” to all attacks.
The sword gains stacks when damage is dealt through intensified attacks. Additional stacks increase the damage and damage resistance of heavy attacks.
Additionally, there is the special perk “Intensified Consumption”. It heals the sword bearer for damage dealt to enemies.
Furthermore, it is already known that The Lament will receive an exotic masterwork catalyst, presumably also from Banshee shortly after mastering the quest. However, it is still unknown how the catalyst will improve the new weapon exotic in detail.
On November 16, the event “Distant Stars” started in Genshin Impact. We will reveal to you what rewards there are and how to unlock the character Fischl.Meanwhile, all sections of the event are available.
What is it about? On November 16, the event “Distant Stars” started in Genshin Impact. Just on November 11, the major update 1.1 of the game was officially launched.
In the event, strange meteors fall upon the fantasy world Teyvat, and anyone who touches the stones is afflicted by a sleeping sickness. Now it is up to you as a player.
Update 11.23.2020. The entire event is now available. We have added hints for “Delicious Farmer’s Vegetables in Qingce Style“.
[toc]
How long does the event last?
The event started on November 16, 2020, and runs until November 30, 2020. A special event merchant is even available until December 6, 2020.
What are the requirements?
You need to reach Adventure Rank Level 20 to unlock the first event quest. Here you will find tips on how to quickly level up the Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact.
What does the event offer?
There are several tasks and events that you need to complete during the event. For the completed tasks, you will receive an event currency that you can spend on rewards.
What rewards are there?
Throughout the event, you will collect various shards that you can exchange for rewards. The highlight of the event is the character Fischl, who you can unlock for free at the end of the event quests. We will tell you how to unlock her in our article.
What do I need for the challenges?
With “Salvaging the Meteorite Debris” and “Falling Star” you can play two special challenges. For both, you need 20 or 40 original resin to claim your rewards.
Is it worth it, even if I already have Fischl?
Yes, definitely! Because instead of the character, you will receive Fischl’s “Stella Fortuna”. With this you can enhance the constellation. This provides you with strong bonuses for the character. The Crown of Wisdom is also worth it.
Genshin Impact: How to unlock Fischl
Who is Fischl? Fischl is a bow user with a rarity of four stars. The chance to pull a 4-star character in a wish is 5.1%, which is very low.
Fischl is one of the best characters in Genshin Impact. She is a strong damage dealer and a good support. In battle, she can summon a raven that deals Electro damage just like Fischl. The raven also remains summoned for several seconds, even when you switch to another character.
This is what you need to do: To obtain Fischl, you must complete all the tasks of the “Princess Pact” quest line by the end of the event.
You must complete the quest “Star of Destiny.” This has been available since November 23, 2020.
You must complete the challenge “Salvaging Meteor Debris” 14 times.
Thirdly, you must complete the challenge “Falling Star” 7 times.
This is what you need to keep in mind: The three phases are not available immediately but will be unlocked over several days. The following three phases are available:
The first part of the event “Unknown Star” has already started.
The second part “Star of Deceptive Dreams” has been available since November 18, 2020.
With “Star of Destiny,” the final part of the event series started on November 23, 2020. Upon completion, you will obtain the character Fischl.
Genshin Impact: How to Start the “Distant Stars” Event
How to start the first quest: You can already complete the quest “Star of Destiny.” For this, you must fulfill a multi-part quest. You receive the quest through the event menu and then have to talk to Katheryne from the Adventurers’ Guild in Mondstadt.
Next, you need to visit three different regions of the game world and collect 7 meteorite shards in each. However, these are not always easy to find, and you need to gather them in these three areas.
In each area, there are more than 7 shards; you do not have to collect them all to complete the quest. Every collected shard also counts as event currency “Essence of the Waning Stars.”
This is how the meteorite shards are displayed
You can repeat the gathering the following day. However, it will be three different areas than the previous day. In these areas, you will find the shards:
Day 1:
Starfall Valley (east of Mondstadt)
Bishui Plain (north of Liyue)
Guyun Towers in the Sea of Clouds (east of Liyue)
Day 2:
Whistling Slope (southeast of Mondstadt)
Qiongji Estuary (northeast of Liyue)
Minlin (northwest of Liyue)
The meteorite shards can be in unusual places
How the “Meteorite Debris Recovery” Challenge Works
When does the challenge begin? According to the official website, the “Meteorite Debris Recovery” challenge started on November 18, 2020.
To unlock the challenge, you must first complete the quest “Endless Crisis.” During this quest, you will also learn how the challenge works. Afterwards, the locations of the meteorites will appear on your map and you can select the challenges individually.
You can start the “Meteorite Debris Recovery” challenge at such locations.
How does the event work? It is a challenge where you must defeat a lot of enemies within a certain time. Beforehand, you can choose one of three different difficulty levels, which in turn offers you different rewards.
You can play the challenge in three stages.
Things to keep in mind: While you are destroying the enemies, you must stay in the blue influence area of the meteorite debris. If you leave the area, it turns red, and your progress decreases quickly!
Each meteorite also carries an element that strengthens the enemies. If you use the correct counter-element, it can be to your advantage. How elements and combos work in Genshin Impact will be explained elsewhere.
Each meteorite debris has a specific element that you can counter.
These rewards are available: If you manage to defeat all enemies within the limit, you can collect your rewards. Similar to dungeons or elite bosses, you need 20 points of “original resin” to recover the debris. As a reward, you will receive
the event currency “Fading Stars Power” and
friendship EXP for your characters.
How the “Falling Star” Challenge Works
When does the challenge start? On November 23, 2020, the third installment of the event and the second challenge “Falling Star” was activated.
Once you have completed the quest “Secret of the Sky, Revealed in Water,” you can unlock the “Falling Star” challenge to collect the event currency “Essence of the Fading Stars” here.
Tip: During the quest, you need to talk to a soldier. However, you can only do this if you have completed the quest “Siege of Quinec” beforehand. Otherwise, the soldier will not appear in Quinec, as they will be tied up with another quest.
How does the event work? The event works similarly to the previous co-op event in Genshin Impact. You can play this challenge both solo and in multiplayer mode.
You need to defeat monsters within a given time, which drop energy just like in the last co-op event, called “heavenly energy” here. You must then deliver this energy at a designated location. However, if you are hit by an enemy, you will lose all your energy. Once you have completed a wave, the next enemies will appear.
In total, you have 10 minutes to complete the challenge. There is a chance that the event will be affected:
Star Wandering: The drop locations change position.
Monstrosity: More strong enemies will appear.
Energetic Misery: higher risk of losing all collected energy if you are hit by enemies during the delivery.
A random effect influences the challenge
Once you gather enough energy, you have successfully completed the event.
These rewards are available: If you successfully complete the event, you can collect your reward for 40 pieces of original resin. Your rewards will be
the event currency “Essence of the Fading Stars”
additional rewards that are yet unknown.
More about Genshin Impact Update 1.1 and 1.2 on MeinMMO:
What’s next for the event? So far, we do not know how the event will proceed. However, we will keep you updated on what you need to know about the new event on MeinMMO.
These are the two event currencies of the current event in Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact: Fresh Produce Find and Craft
What is this needed for? For a quest during the third event segment, you need “Delicious Fresh Produce, Qingce Style.” A man who has awakened does not want to talk to you until he has eaten properly. You need to cook him a “Delicious Fresh Produce, Qingce Style.”
This dish is needed for a quest during the event
Here is the recipe: Once you have accepted the quest, you can buy the recipe from Miss Bai, the miller of the village Qingce. It will cost you 5000 Mora. She is located in the far east of the village.
You can buy the recipe for fresh produce directly in the villageYou can buy the recipe from this woman
What you need for crafting: Afterwards, you can use the cooking station just a few steps away for cooking. For the fresh produce, you need the following ingredients:
3 Champions
2 Lotuses
1 Jueyun Pepper
1 Cabbage
Here are the ingredients: You can find lotuses and Jueyun peppers both in Qingce and in the nearby irrigated fields. Champions grow under the trees, and you can get cabbage from crates or market stalls.
Genshin Impact Event: Additional Rewards
Additional Tasks: Three more quests are unlocked in each event section (a total of 9 tasks).
Each task rewards you with event currency and 40 Original Resin each. Overall, you can collect up to 360 Original Resin, which is worth it. Original Resin is the in-game currency that you use in the Gacha System of the game.
Additional tasks during the event
What is this currency? During the event, you can collect during the challenges “Power of the Waning Stars” and “Essence of the Waning Stars.”
What can you spend the currency on? You can exchange your Power or Essences at the action vendor for various items:
Materials for character ascension such as “Hero’s Wit,” which gives you 20,000 EXP per use.
Mystic Enhancement Ore, which you can use to upgrade your weapons.
Various materials to improve talents.
The Crown of Insight.
Other characters can also become very strong. In this article, we present a strong build for Baidou, which makes the swordswoman a real strong damage dealer. Thanks to this build, she can easily take on bosses.

A student apparently didn’t feel like following the home-schooling classes and preferred to play the MOBA LoL. But the round went horribly wrong and, due to a mishap, he embarrassed himself in front of the whole class.
What happened? The streamer behind the nickname Scyrine is still in school, and due to the Corona pandemic, classes are currently held via online meetings using Zoom. However, Scyrine preferred to play games instead of attending class. So, he secretly played and streamed League of Legends while pretending to follow the lessons.
But the round didn’t seem to go well, and at some point, frustration took over Scyrine. He jumped up from his chair and loudly vented his anger:

“I’m so done! I can’t play this game anymore! I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough, I’ve really had enough of this, man!”
Scyrine continued to complain when suddenly his teacher asked in an authoritative voice what was happening.
At that moment, the student suddenly realized that he had left the microphone on the whole time.
That was my brother!
So Scyrine tried to cover up: “In shock, Scyrine stammered, ‘I wasn’t muted!’ when the teacher asked, ‘Did something happen with any of you?'”
The caught schoolboy couldn’t think of anything better than to tell a pretty lame lie: “That was my brother,” was the smartest thing that came to his mind in that situation.
The teacher, meanwhile, had no understanding and simply stated that “Josh” would have to ban his brother from the room if he couldn’t behave quietly during class. Furthermore, she wanted to have the answer to the question asked.
More bizarre stories about LoL streamers can be found here:
The following multiple-choice question could not be answered correctly by Scyrine, even though some of his stream viewers were trying to give him the correct answer in the chat.
Meanwhile, Scyrine’s channel was also banned from Twitch, and the streamer was suspended. Whether it was due to the incident with the secret gaming and outburst during class is unclear. In the case of the popular streamer xQc, however, the situation is clearer. xQc was banned from Twitch for unfair stream sniping and the matter has led to a whole series of consequences.

With World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, professions in the MMORPG take on new, greater significance. Old recipes return, new possibilities open up, and the method of crafting changes as well. MeinMMO explains everything you need to know about crafting in the new expansion in the extensive professions guide.
With Shadowlands, many professions in World of Warcraft undergo a major overhaul. Numerous recipes from the past return, similar to how the returning class abilities have done.
In general, professions are to be assigned a higher value again. They are once again more interdependent, and each individual profession is meant to have a greater impact on the game.
In our guide, we show you what these innovations and changes look like, how each profession actually changes, and what you should keep in mind in general.
[toc]
General Changes to Professions
What’s new? One of the biggest changes is the optional crafting materials. With these, you can determine the properties of crafted items, trigger additional effects, or alter the item level.
Additionally, crafting professions are generally becoming more relevant again. In Shadowlands, there is the possibility to craft legendary items. However, you need “blank armor pieces” that are crafted by the various professions. These are intended to ensure that professions generate gold for you throughout the entire addon.
Professions should remain important throughout the expansion.
You can also find journals, for example, when killing monsters, when completing world quests. With the journals (Eng. “Journals”), you have the opportunity to gather skill points faster. One journal can be read per week, granting you 5 skill points (via wowhead).
In Destiny 2, you can now find the new second aspect for your Stasis class. We will show you how to do this and where to find all 9 Entropic Shards on Europa.
What’s new: Players can customize their new Stasis classes in Beyond Light much more than the traditional focuses. This is enabled by the “Aspect and Fragment” system. For almost 2 weeks, Guardians have been wondering where to get the 2nd aspect for their Warlock, Titan, or Hunter.
We have good news: You can unlock the 2nd Stasis aspect starting now. This will make your icy abilities even nastier.
Are there any prerequisites? Yes. In order for you to even hunt for the new Stasis aspect, you must meet some prerequisites.
You must have completed the questline “Born in Darkness, Parts 1-3”. For that, you should have found your first Stasis aspect and acquired the exotic Stasis launcher. Players also report that you must have located the massive Exo in Bray Exo Science first.
This is how you complete “Born in Darkness, Part 4” in Destiny 2
You start the questline with the Stranger Exo on Europa in the area “Beyond”. Then you need to master 6 steps. In between, you also have to undertake the quest “Aspect of Destruction”, where you need to locate all 9 Entropic Shards.
Quest Step 1: Achieve 50 Kills with Stasis abilities.
It doesn’t matter where you land the kills, so you can continue with your other tasks or farm.
This step goes really quickly in the weekly Shadow Zone. Because here, your Stasis abilities recharge faster. Until the reset on November 24, you can find the zone in the “Eventide Ruins” area in the north of Europa.
The current Shadow Zone is always marked by a yellow pyramid on the map.
Visit the Stranger Exo
Quest Step 2: Head into the Strike playlist “Nightfall: The Ordeal” and show off your Stasis skills.
You must complete 3 Nightfalls while equipped with a Stasis focus.
You also need to influence 60 enemies with Stasis abilities.
It doesn’t matter if you eliminate them, freeze them, or slow them down.
The difficulty of Nightfall: The Ordeal doesn’t matter – so just pick the 1180 version and have an easy time.
Quest Step 3: Defeat the forces of the House of Salvation.
Select the quest step on the Europa map and mark it.
Now follow the marker to the “Creation” area – which is located behind the “Bray Exo Science” in the west.
In a lab area, a Pyramid Shard will appear, step up and fight the few Fallen.
Then ideally stay exactly where you are.
Quest Step 4: Bring the Skeleth key to the Stranger Exo.
Open the Europa map and select the new quest marker in the “Creation” area.
Then delve deeper into the underground lab.
You will need to jump over several platforms and let yourself fall through holes in the floor.
Your goal is reached when you arrive at the head of the gigantic Exo.
Here you will then listen to an exciting story dialog between 3 members of the Bray family.
Now that’s a truly gigantic Exo
Quest Step 5: Return to the Stranger Exo.
Head back to the “Beyond” area and talk to the Exo.
She now has another task for you before you can finally hold the new aspect in your hands.
You need to find all 9 Entropic Shards on Europa.
MeinMMO will show you the locations of all Entropic Shards for the quest “Aspect of Destruction” if you haven’t found all items yet.
Quest Step 6: Visit the Crux of Darkness in “RIIS Reborn Access”.
Select the quest step in the far north of Europa and follow the marker.
When you arrive at the Pyramid Shard, a fight awaits you.
Prepare for an overload champion.
Help in fighting against champions can be found in your seasonal artifact:
Find all 9 Entropic Shards for “Aspect of Destruction”
You have already found and destroyed at least 3 Entropic Shards (Entropic Shards). Since the raid in the Deep Stone Crypt was mastered by the first Guardians, the doors in the “Bray Exo Science” have opened to the “Creation” area.
Here you will find the previously unreachable 9th and final Entropic Shard.
MeinMMO presents to you here how Destiny expert Esoterickk finds all 9 Entropic Shards in Europe in the video:

This is what your new Stasis Aspect can do for Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans
If you have fulfilled all tasks of the Stranger Exo to the satisfaction of the time-traveling lady, you will finally receive your 2nd Stasis Aspect.
You select it through your Stasis class menu and can assign supporting fragments to it if you wish. The new aspect differs depending on your class:
Frostpulse (Warlocks): When you use your Rift, it creates a Stasis shockwave that freezes everything nearby.
Shroud of Winter (Hunters): Your dodge jump slows down enemies in the surrounding area.
Tectonic Harvest (Titans): When you shatter a Stasis crystal, you create a Stasis shard. This grants you or your team melee energy.
Have you mastered all tasks and are looking forward to another customization for your Stasis focus? Let us know in the comments which combination of aspect, fragment, and exotic you are choosing for your Guardians.
XL Games, the developers of ArcheAge, are currently working on a sequel to the game. ArcheAge 2 is set to be a huge MMORPG in Unreal Engine 5. The first images have now been shown, and a release window has even been mentioned.
What kind of game is this? ArcheAge 2 is intended to be a sequel set in a parallel universe of ArcheAge. The focus will be on freedom and the sandbox concept.
During G-Star 2020, the largest Korean gaming expo, new details about the game were revealed in an interview:
ArcheAge 2 features an open world
There will be new playable races that were not available in its predecessor
There will be housing, vehicles, and naval battles
The game is expected to offer a “new approach” to trading and social elements
ArcheAge 2 is being developed as a “cross-platform” game, with a focus on PC.
The developers themselves describe ArcheAge 2 as “the epitome of a next-gen MMORPG”
In addition to the information, the first images were shown. However, these are initial insights into the production. They have not yet been created in UE5, which should be released to developers at the earliest in early 2021.
When will ArcheAge 2 be released? XL Games has also commented on a possible release date. The MMORPG, which is being developed in collaboration with publisher Kakao Games, is expected to be released in the second half of 2022 in Korea.
When a release will occur in the West has not yet been revealed. However, XL Games is proud of how successful ArcheAge has been “overseas.” This increases the chances of a timely release here.
Developers want to learn from the mistakes of ArcheAge
What more do we know about ArcheAge 2? In September, there was an interview with Jake Song, the head of XL Games. He spoke about the differences between ArcheAge and ArcheAge 2.
Although there was no gameplay shown for ArcheAge 2 at the expo, the relatively short timeframe until its release suggests that development has been ongoing for a long time. Typically, creating a new MMORPG takes 5 years or even longer.
What do you think about ArcheAge 2? Are you interested in the new MMORPG or are you more skeptical due to your experiences with ArcheAge 1? Let us know in the comments!
In addition to ArcheAge 2, several new MMORPGs are currently in development. You can find the most promising ones here:
The launch of a new expansion is always an exciting time for the fans. Here at MeinMMO, we are starting a countdown to WoW Shadowlands, which will run until midnight.
Tonight it is finally happening. The latest expansion of World of Warcraft will go live at exactly midnight and players will be able to explore the Shadowlands.
To celebrate, we at MeinMMO have started a countdown! So sharpen your swords, polish your shields, dust off your spellbooks, and join us as we wait for the launch:
As the countdown ticks relentlessly down, there are still a few things you can do before it runs out. For example, the Pre-Event for Shadowlands, for which there are special rewards.
If you have already done everything necessary in the event, then check out our stylish guides to Shadowlands to prepare perfectly for the addon. We answer your most important questions and also help you decide which covenant you should choose, for example.
Whether you are completely new to WoW, returning after a long break, or one of the active players, we have the right guides and advice for you. You can find them in our big WoW hub along with many other exciting articles.
But do you already know how you will proceed after the launch? Each of us has our own preferences and priorities when gaming. How are they distributed for you? What do you want to do first? Which class will you start with?
Blizzard has also given the all-clear that you don’t have to rush when leveling in Shadowlands. You have over a day before some important content of the addon is unlocked. What do you want to accomplish during that time?
The addon starts with us directly at midnight from Monday to Tuesday. That is not exactly the perfect time for people who have to work or go to school and university the next day. Let us know, will you start right at midnight or will you approach the addon more casually? Let us know in the comments!

In World of Warcraft, a deadly plague has broken out. It turns players into infected zombies. Even new heroes are not safe, as they are dying in droves in the starting areas.
These turned into bloodthirsty zombie monsters. They, in turn, can attack other players and NPCs and turn them into zombies as well. Therefore, the capitals Stormwind and Orgrimmar are currently being besieged by zombies, making normal gameplay often impossible.
This is what’s happening in the starting areas: The zombie plague does not spare the starting areas either, where zombies have also been sighted. There, they are conducting bloody harvests among the defenseless starter heroes who roam there.
A player reports on reddit that he couldn’t even play his brand-new hero because he was devoured by the greedy zombies during the intro cutscene. He comments on a screenshot of his hero, who was helplessly munched by the undead, with:
“Have you ever seen someone die during an intro cutscene? Yes… neither have I. Welcome to the prepatch!”

This is how players are reacting: The reactions from readers on reddit have been quite clear. People generally complain that this zombie event often disrupts and ruins the game:
Teelolws says, “I remember Blizzard once said that the reason why there are Alliance/Horde areas on PvP servers is that you can’t be ganked during a cutscene. How times have changed.”
Grasswhistle28 has specific reasons why he doesn’t like the event: “This event is a huge failure for two reasons: Zombies are too weak to really raid capitals unless more people are playing zombies. The fact that you cure yourself by talking to NPCs in the cities exacerbates this. This leads to people who want to be zombies griefing in non-capital areas, where there aren’t nearly enough players to stop them. This means quest hubs are being besieged.
Arvoleth has a creative solution: “I have a level 1 bank character in SW who gets killed by zombies every time I log in. My clever solution was to handle my mail and AH stuff in the dwarven quarter… it’s right next to the graveyard.”
These heroes are safe: However, there are places where you can safely create new heroes. When you create a character, you can also let it start in the new starting area “Exile’s Reach.” No zombies are allowed there, and you can prepare for Shadowlands in peace.
Someone who is really enjoying the event and delights in the whining of those affected is our MeinMMO house demon Cortyn. She thinks it’s great that the bright chaos has broken out in World of Warcraft and that almost no one is safe in the capitals. Such events are simply part of a living world like WoW, according to Cortyn, and everything will be over by the launch of Shadowlands.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
With Shadowlands come several new dungeons in World of Warcraft. One that has particularly stuck in the memory of MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus is the Mists of Tirna Scithe. Even though he likes the dungeon a lot, he is sure that you will curse it and that it will cost you many nerves and time.
Which dungeon is it about? The Mists of Tirna Scithe is a dungeon in Ardenweald, one of the new areas of Shadowlands. It is actually a sanctuary of the Night Fae, one of the covenants in Shadowlands. However, the mists are also affected by the drought that threatens the realm of the dead.
In the current Beta of Shadowlands, I have already played the mists, and the dungeon itself is quite small and short. Only three bosses await here, and the actual area is not particularly large. However, the paths are convoluted and even attempt to mislead you at times.
This is part of the fantasy of the dungeon, as uninvited intruders are supposed to be confused and never find a way out again. This very idea necessitates a mechanic that I am already sure will drive you to the brink of madness.
Spoiler alert: If you want to be surprised (and probably frustrated), you should stop reading here. Spoilers and descriptions of the new dungeon and one of the core mechanics follow.
In the heart of Ardenweald, the new dungeon awaits you.
Mechanic in Mists of Tirna Scithe Costs Nerves
What is so bad about it? After the first boss, Ingra Maloch, you will encounter a labyrinth of mists on the way to the Mistcaller, the second boss. This labyrinth can cost you a lot of time, as
it consists of several sections with groups of enemies
you find different symbols and three possible exits from each area
only the correct symbol opens the way forward
as soon as a player from the group touches a wrong symbol, you have to go back the whole way – every time
Especially annoying is that even already solved puzzles trigger this mechanic. If the path is already clear, but a player touches a wrong mist wall, the whole group has to start over.
The Mistcaller mocks you even.
The symbols are the clues you need to pay attention to.
Which way is the right one?
Even the Mistcaller uses the mechanic.
Moreover, the Mistcaller herself uses this mechanic for her ability “Guessing Game”. In this ability, she creates clones that deal increasing damage to you and additional damage to the group if the wrong clone dies.
Meanwhile, she doesn’t do anything else – except in mythic mode. There she stays in the fight and takes 100% less damage. If you do not kill the right clone in time or even kill the wrong one, it is almost a guaranteed wipe.
How do I play with the mechanic? The trick is to find the symbol that differs from the others. The first symbol you see (in the areas or when fighting the boss) serves as a reference:
only one of the symbols is an outline, all others are filled
only one is a leaf or a flower
only one has a border or does not have one
It is not always easy to immediately find the right symbol, especially under time pressure. The images from Icy Veins give you examples of how these different symbols can look:
Some of the possible signs and solutions. The image with the green checkmark is correct in the respective row.
A beautiful dungeon with challenge
That’s why I love the mists anyway: In my first run through the mists, we were certainly stuck in the labyrinth for a quarter of an hour while the Mistcaller mocked us. However, I think that fits perfectly with the fantasy of the dungeon.
After all, the fairies are playful and known as tricksters. Additionally, the design of the dungeon in its blue, green, and brown tones is extremely coherent, bringing across the idea of an enchanted forest. Also, if Cortyn has to play Venthyr after the cinematic, I am definitely leaning towards the Night Fae thanks to the Mists of Tirna Scithe.
After defeating the Mistcaller, she is not quite in a good mood.
A Drust is the first boss – Connections to Gorak Tul from BfA?
However, the mechanic itself has also captivated me. It is refreshing and makes me really enjoy that I cannot just brute force my way through a dungeon. In the mists, I have to think and pay attention to the mechanics; otherwise, I will not get ahead. Unless, of course, I invest an hour in “trial and error” attempts.
What else does Shadowlands offer? The Mists of Tirna Scithe are just one of eight upcoming dungeons, all of which have pretty cool mechanics. Additionally, with Castle Nathria, the first raid with ten bosses will be released.
The expansion will be released on October 27. If you haven’t received an invitation to the beta yet, you will soon be able to play anyway. If you want to get informed in advance, you can find all the information about features and story of Shadowlands in our article here.

In Destiny 2, you can now earn the new exotic sniper rifle Cloudstrike from Beyond Light. MeinMMO explains how to obtain this new weapon exotic.
What is the new exotic weapon about? Recently, the Beyond Light raid in the Deep Stone Crypt opened its doors in Destiny 2. And after mastering the new raid, a lot has changed. Now, two new weapon exotics can be earned from the new expansion, or a few fresh quests and challenges can be tackled on Europa.
Among the newly obtainable new exotics, alongside the sword “The Complaint”, is the exotic sniper rifle Cloudstrike. And MeinMMO explains to you how to obtain the new sniper.
How to Get Cloudstrike
In short: The new sniper is a random boss drop from Variks’ “Empire Hunt.”
Cloudstrike
Requirements: You need to unlock the sabotage upgrade “Europa Explorer I and II” with Variks.
You need Part I to unlock Part II.
Part II activates selectable difficulty levels for the Empire Hunts after successful completion.
Then you can undertake Empire Hunts, from which you can earn Cloudstrike.
Unlocking Europa Explorer: For those who have already completed the Beyond Light campaign, the World First Clear of the new raid has now unlocked a new quest at the Exo Stranger on Europa – “Hard Rain.”
You can find the Exo Stranger in the southern area “Beyond.” The Exo Stranger will then send you to the current Shadow Zone (currently in the Eventide Ruins) on Europa, where you should complete public events and patrols, with powerful enemies and heroic events granting the most progress.
At Position 1 (Beyond) you’ll find the Exo Stranger, and at Position 2 (Charon’s Crossing) stands Variks.
Once that is done, you need to return to the Exo Stranger. She rewards you with a pistol from the new Europa arsenal, but more importantly: she unlocks new quests for Variks’ sabotage missions, leading to new sabotage modifications – including “Europa Explorer I.” Select it and complete the corresponding task.
For “Europa Explorer I,” you need to achieve 50 kills each with kinetic and energy weapons on Europa, as well as 25 kills with the power weapon at the new location. Once you’ve done that, return to Variks. You can now also select “Europa Explorer II” with him.
Now you need to defeat 30 powerful enemies in the Empire Hunts. One mission run should be enough to farm the required 30 enemies. However, you should only complete the hunt when you reach 30 – this saves you the necessary resources for a new hunt.
After completion, return to Variks and hand in the quest. This will unlock the Empire Hunts for you.
Complete Empire Hunts and obtain Cloudstrike: You can now simply select the Empire Hunts on the map of Europa, including difficulty level. Currently, there’s one available, but these will likely rotate weekly.
It’s a bit strange that Cloudstrike is currently listed as a possible drop at all difficulty levels, but the chance is labeled as rare at all difficulty levels. Whether you have a correspondingly higher chance of this new weapon exotic at higher levels is still unclear.
At the first two difficulty levels, Master and Hero, the player search is still active, and the modifiers are relatively simple. So if you haven’t progressed far in your power level, don’t want to go solo, and don’t have a fixed team, one of these two difficulty levels is recommended.
But be prepared that you will need to run the hunt multiple times, as Cloudstrike is a random drop – even on the highest difficulty. When you get the weapon is therefore highly dependent on RNG.
Here’s the whole thing again in video:

What the new sniper can do: It is a sniper rifle for the special slot. It is therefore an energy weapon, and green ammo is required. Cloudstrike deals Arc damage.
The exotic perk is called Deadly Polarity: Precision kills create a lightning strike at the target’s location.
The second special perk is called Stormcaller, which generates a storm at the impact point with rapid precision hits.
What the new sniper can do in practice will be explored here on MeinMMO soon.
When health points in the MMORPG run low, the hero often reaches for a delicious ham and is instantly healed. Or the mage sips a bit of a liquor and is once again filled with mana juice to cast more magic. But where does this system actually come from?
“Oh, there’s a delicious bread on the floor of the dungeon that has been closed for centuries. I must taste it as it will surely awaken my vitality. And the slimy mushroom growing in the brown puddle above it must be particularly healthy!” That’s what a hero in an MMORPG might think. Because food plays a very special role in role-playing games.
Food serves as healing in many games. More modern MMORPGs even allow players to cook various dishes based on recipes, which can have different effects. These include not just healing but also temporary buffs. But where do these rather unappetizing tendencies come from?
Food is part of MMORPGs as a remedy.
PnP has made it possible again
The system upon which all this is based traces back to pen and paper role-playing games – as is often the case with computer RPGs. Healing has always been an important topic. After a tough battle, heroes want to replenish themselves and treat their wounds to quickly dive back into the next adventure. In real life, it would probably take weeks or months for a belly sliced open by an axe to heal.
In fantasy worlds, this must happen faster. This is where magic often comes into play.
The healer treats the injuries,
healing potions close wounds
and even a nap can work wonders.

That food has healing powers makes sense: After all, a good warm soup strengthens. It can also heal a wound in the game, or a drink ensures that a wizard’s mana is replenished.
A healthy diet does indeed contribute to the body’s recovery. A balanced diet supplies the body with substances that it cannot produce itself. These nutrients energize the body and help it to function. And this includes the ability to heal itself. In games, this is, of course, exaggerated.
While in a pen and paper role-playing game, it wouldn’t be a problem to let heroes rest longer after an adventure to heal all injuries, in a computer game, and especially in an MMORPG, this is not so good. In online games, it is not possible to “fast forward” time.
A severely injured hero cannot just lie in the infirmary for four weeks. And using food to heal or drinks to regain mana is a logical and good solution.
The Japanese role-playing game Dragon Slayer 2: Xanadu from 1985 is considered the first game in which food was used to heal heroes. However, the principle worked differently here. The character had to eat. If they didn’t, they would lose hit points. By consuming food, they would heal slowly.
Especially the Gauntlet game series relies on food as a source of healing. Even in the arcade game from 1985, it was necessary to find food. This could even be destroyed in the heat of battle against hordes of enemies, leading to disputes among players at the arcade machines.
The role-playing game Dungeon Master, released in 1987, made it possible to gain food from defeated enemies. Giant mushrooms (and other monsters) roaming the dungeons, for example, left behind something to eat, which healed the heroes. Here you can see a longer excerpt from this classic:

In Dungeon Master from 1987, some monsters left behind food.
At that time, it was often the case that food was absolutely necessary. In the northern trilogy of The Dark Eye (The Fate Sword: 1992), heroes had to go hunting or buy provisions in the city to have enough food for long journeys.
The RPG Ultima 7 then took this food necessity to the extreme in 1992. The hero group had to eat regularly, which led to players hauling backpacks full of food. When the food ran low, party members loudly complained about starving, which became quite annoying over time.
So, they had to interrupt their exploration of the dungeon to quickly go hunting or to the city to shop at the baker and butcher.
Therefore, Ultima 8, which was released in 1994, switched to a different system. Food was only used for healing. It was no longer necessary to eat, as the hero could not starve.
This system became established and was adopted by more and more role-playing games.
From remedy to survival
MMORPGs also use this way of making food an important game element. Because being able to heal through eating is a clever and simple method to regain HP, even in the wild. This developed into a complete game system.
Modern MMORPGs no longer just let you gather food and then eat it. They offer complex cooking features through which you must collect various ingredients based on recipes to create dishes. These then return varying amounts of health points or mana, or even provide buffs.

In modern games, food is very important. For example, in Conan Exiles.
However, the necessity to consume food has also become popular again – in survival games. In games like Conan Exiles, it is necessary to eat and drink. Otherwise, the character can starve or die of thirst. Thus, you constantly search for food such as berries or hunt animals to cook and eat their meat. And by the river, the hero sips some cool water. Depending on the type of food you consume, it not only replenishes your health points but also grants buffs.
The tradition of food as healing in MMORPGs is long. So when you find a piece of meat or cheese in a moldy dungeon, your characters should enjoy it – after all, it promises a refreshing of health points.
If you want to know where the concept of healer, damage dealer, and tank in MMORPGs comes from, we’ll reveal it to you.

For the release of the PS5, MediaMarkt, Saturn, and other retailers failed to ship all pre-orders on time. Additionally, some packages that were sent got lost along the way. What is the current status and what should one do if they haven’t received a PS5 yet?
However, even now, 3 working days later, many are still waiting for delivery or collection slips for the local store. For some buyers, it is also frustrating that they ordered as guests and therefore have no way to check their order history. They rely on email notifications from the retailers.
Although the retailers apologize for the delay, they do not provide a general date by which the shipping should have occurred. Instead, there are shipping confirmations sent directly to the buyers when it happens.
What did MediaMarkt and others say? In an identical statement on Facebook, MediaMarkt and Saturn last addressed buyers on November 20:
Unfortunately, we couldn’t provide every customer directly with a console at the PS5 launch. Regardless of whether by delivery or for self-collection, we are doing our best to ensure that everyone receives their console as quickly as possible. The demand is very high and we are in close contact with the manufacturer to execute all pre-orders as soon as possible. We want the console for all hobby gamers, for all pro gamers, for all of you.
They indirectly place the blame on Sony, who is not delivering consoles to retailers quickly enough. However, the statement does not clarify when exactly the PS5 will be going out to customers.
Anyone currently trying to find out more about their order status with Saturn or MediaMarkt will first hear a recorded message. It says that one should be patient. Orders can also be checked at the local store. However, even there, people are usually met with waiting.
At least many buyers at MediaMarkt and Saturn did not experience the same shock as with Otto. The large online retailer had to cancel numerous pre-orders:
Can I cancel the order? Theoretically, you can still cancel your orders. You will also get back any possible deposits. However, since there is nowhere else to buy a PS5, it is probably not worth it.
Complaints to consumer protection: On Twitter, many users have mentioned the consumer protection agency NRW in their tweets. They confirmed that they are accepting complaints about the current situation regarding the shipping of the PS5. You can fill out a form on their website.

New shipping confirmations: Many disappointed buyers are expressing their feelings on Twitter under the hashtag #wobleibtmeineps5. However, there are also positive messages from users who received a shipping confirmation or even a console delivered on Saturday or today, November 23.
As it stands, there are significant delays, but at least no halt in shipping.
However, there are also users who report that they received a shipping confirmation or even a delivery confirmation, but their console never arrived.
No delivery despite shipping confirmation – What to do?
No PS5 despite delivery confirmation: If a PS5 is said to have arrived according to the delivery confirmation, but you have not received any goods, you should complain. It might have gotten lost during shipping.
The editorial team of Gameswirtschaft recommends in this case to contact the retailer and the relevant shipping service directly.
Will I still get a PS5? Following the chaos surrounding the pre-orders, there is now increased discussion about the shipping of the consoles. However, many interested buyers still haven’t even been able to pre-order a PS5.
We have analyzed the future of pre-orders and whether you still have a chance of getting a PS5 by Christmas:
The first season of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War starts on December 10 and brings new content to the game. MeinMMO gathers all the facts & leaks about the first season and explains what the Warzone has to do with it.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has faced a lot of criticism for bringing very little content at launch. With the start of the first season on December 10, the developers at Treyarch aim to gradually combat this situation.
Therefore, MeinMMO shows you here what the rumor mill has served regarding the first season and what facts the developers have already established about the new season.
Cold War: Season 1 starts on 12/10 and runs like in CoD MW
How do the seasons progress in Cold War? The developers have emphasized several times that they want to operate a very similar service model as the predecessor Modern Warfare. For players, this means that all gameplay-relevant content after release is completely free. Whether weapons, maps or modes – you don’t need to spend any more money to benefit from the season content.
Each new season also comes with a fresh battle pass. Here you can unlock more than 100 cosmetic items for 1,000 CoD points (about €10). The pass will also again have a free reward path, with which you can unlock a few things even without the 1,000 CoD points. This includes, for example, the new weapons.
Even before the official release of Cold War, the developers showed a roadmap with the contents of the first season:
Season 1: Content according to roadmap
New modes & maps for multiplayer
Modes for the zombie mode
New weapons
2v2 Gunfight from CoD MW returns
Secret Warzone experience
And more
What else comes with Season 1? On December 10, the complete prestige system starts. So far, you can only advance 100 levels after your 55 military ranks and attain prestige rank 3.
No one can take these prestige ranks away from you, and with each new season, you can level up these ranks further (maximum 4 per season). However, unlike the pre-season, it will then continue, and you can advance another 1,000 levels after the 200 levels for the 4 prestige ranks and unlock rewards.
What about the merging of Cold War with Warzone? Also an exciting topic, where it will likely only be revealed on December 10 how it works. What is certain is that Cold War, Warzone, and CoD MW will merge their leveling systems, and there will be no difference anymore in where you earn your experience points. In all 3 CoDs, you can grind for your prestige rank or level up the battle pass. More information on this can be found here:
In this context, Warzone & Cold War are more merging and leaving CoD MW somewhat aside. While you can use all your unlocked or purchased cosmetics from Cold War in Warzone, this does not apply to CoD MW. Also, the weapons do not transfer to the CoD from 2019, everything is limited to Warzone.

Leaks speak of 3 completely new maps with Season 1
What maps are coming with Season 1? A leak on Twitter mentions a total of 3 completely new maps for multiplayer:
Dune
Mall
Echelon
What types of maps these will be is still unclear. The developers at Treyarch stated on Twitter on November 13 (the release date) that the following will come with Season 1:
New 6v6 maps & modes
New 2v2 Gunfight maps
New Fireteam map
One of the maps could be reserved for the large Fireteam mode. The other two for 6vs6. However, new maps are also needed for the gunfights. The current maps seem too large for 2v2 matches, so new maps or reworked versions of the existing maps would be required. Perhaps Treyarch interprets the 2v2 skirmishes differently and works here with 6v6 maps.
Furthermore, the large Fireteam maps could also come as reworked versions for 6v6 modes. Excerpts from “Alpine” and “Ruka” for 6v6 battles would further increase the selection.
Weapons, zombies, and scorestreaks are likely to increase
What about the weapons? It is considered quite certain that the Striker shotgun and the Groza assault rifle will come with the battle pass of the first season. Both weapons are shown on the roadmap. The operator “Adler” is holding the shotgun in hand, and in the “new weapons” field, a weapon can be seen that looks very similar to the Russian Groza. However, the Groza actually only comes from the 90s, although the multiplayer plays in the 80s. Current information still points towards Groza.
What about zombies? The leak initially teased a new map for zombies. However, it now seems more likely that a new mode will be introduced that expands the experience on the first zombie map “Die Maschine”. Further information about that is not yet available.
What about the scorestreak? The Twitter leak mentions the “K9 Unit”. Other sources consider the release of this scorestreak to be rather unlikely, as a previous leak photo had already shown 5 new streaks, but the K9 Unit was not included.
If it does come, it would be a dog unit that you send after your enemies. Multiple dogs storm the field and attack your enemies. If the opponents are quick enough, they can eliminate the dogs. However, the streak can result in quite a few kills and was already part of Black Ops 2, the CoD from 2012.
So it could be a new map based on the Alcatraz map from the spiritual predecessor of Warzone “Blackout”. It was part of a DLC from Black Ops 4 (CoD from 2018), and a return is quite conceivable. As a story background, an island from Black Ops 1 (CoD from 2010) could serve. On “Vozrozhdeniya Island”, experiments with weaponry were conducted in BO1, such as deadly nerve gases. A fitting template to replace the radioactive gas in Verdansk.
However, what is coming for Warzone is still not conclusively clarified.

Black Ops Cold War wants to replicate the success of CoD MW and relies on very similar recipes for this purpose. It sees itself as a service game that wants to remain current and exciting until the release of the next CoD in 2021. So you can expect a lot of content that will only land in the game throughout the coming seasons.
Pokémon GO is likely to get a new feature that will massively help you sort your Pokémon. We will show you what is already known about “tagging.”
This was found: Diligent data miners on reddit have searched the code of Pokémon GO for updates. They came across several text files related to “tagging.”
This feature has already been briefly mentioned by Niantic, but there hasn’t been any detailed information about it yet. Now we give you a first overview of tagging.
Tagging in Pokémon GO – What does it bring?
This is tagging: This feature refers to small labels that you can attach to your Pokémon. For example, you can label all the Pokémon you want to trade with the same label and then find all these Pokémon using a search command.
According to the data miners, you can choose the text for the label yourself. You can also select a color for the label.
This is what the tagging symbol looks like.
What does tagging bring? This makes sorting Pokémon significantly easier. Until now, you could do something similar by renaming the Pokémon and then filtering by search command.
In the future, you should be able to see both the name of the Pokémon and the tag. Additionally, the different colors should provide even more clarity.
Which tags would be suitable? You can proceed in various ways. For example, you can mark battle teams differently. Additionally, Pokémon that you want to trade or get rid of due to duplicate candies would be ideal for such a tag.
When could this feature arrive? So far, it’s important to note that this information is based on findings from data miners. Niantic has not yet officially announced any information about it.
However, the developers mentioned the feature in a blog post . There, different employees talked about their work on the new GO Beyond update . Jessica Taylor mentioned that she worked on Pokémon tagging. So it looks like the feature is ready and will come to the game soon.
It might come alongside the big update at the beginning of December. Adjustments to the catching system and further improvements are also expected there. Tagging would therefore fit in. We’ll have to wait to see when we can expect the release of the feature.

In Call of Duty: Warzoneyou can also equip your soldier with stylish watches. However, these fashionable accessories can cost you your life in critical situations. Here, on MeinMMO, find out where you should prioritize utility over aesthetics.
What’s the problem with the watches? Normally, the watches in the Warzone only look good and otherwise sit obediently on the wrist of your virtual super soldier in the Warzone. But two particularly cool watches have a function that can work against you in the game. It’s about the following watches:
Strange Magic
Time of the Season
Both watches are available in Season 6 of Call of Duty: Warzone in the Battle Pass. They are unique in that they project the time above the wrist via hologram.
It looks cool and hip, but it’s not a good idea for the following reasons.
In addition to the watches, there are customized weapons in Season 6:
Here’s why you shouldn’t wear the two watches: Reddit user Khurlauss has impressively shown in a clip how impractical bright holo displays are in the Warzone. This is particularly problematic in the Gulag. Because in the dim hallways of the prison, the bright holograms are very visible, essentially marking you as a conspicuous target.

This is how the watch can be seen through walls: But it gets worse, as due to a strange glitch, the watch can even be seen through walls. While only a small dot is visible, if you know the dot is there – like Khurlauss does – you essentially gain an involuntary wallhack.
In the embedded video, Khurlauss can therefore target an opponent at the end since he knows exactly where his enemy is located. In a close-up, you can also better see the telltale dot from the watch. At least the issue of watches visible through walls is something that hopefully will be resolved by the developers soon. However, the brightly lit watches are intentionally designed that way and will likely not be changed. So only take them with you if you can handle giving your opponent an advantage out of vanity. Perhaps consider getting the Kill Tamagotchi instead.

A new heroine awaits us in the cooperative RPG Genshin Impact with Ganyu. A leaked skill list now reveals what she can do.
Who is the new heroine? According to the latest leaks, the new heroine Ganyu is set to be introduced before the Update 1.2. Ganyu has pledged her allegiance to the Geo God Rex Lapis. She wields a bow and employs the Cryo element. Players are already referring to her as “Cryo Amber”.
Amber also uses a bow in Genshin Impact but is dedicated to the Pyro element and is D-Tier, meaning her skills are based on fire. Ganyu’s skills, on the other hand, use ice and cold.
Ganyu is a new playable heroine that will soon be introduced in Genshin Impact.
Ganyu is the Cryo Amber
What skills can Ganyu use? A leaked list from the Beta of Update 1.2 reveals that Ganyu utilizes the elemental skill “Trails of Qilin”. This leaves a single Ice Lotus that attracts enemies. Ganyu jumps back, dealing Cryo damage.
If the lotus is destroyed, it deals additional area-of-effect ice damage. The skill is reminiscent of Amber’s “Baron Bunny,” which operates similarly but deals fire damage.
Ganyu’s elemental burst is called “Celestial Shower.” She creates an “Ice Soul Gem” that rains Cryo damage. This is also said to resemble Amber. The “shower” additionally provides buffs for teammates and debuffs for enemies through Ganyu’s constellations.
This video introduces you to the leak:
https://youtu.be/pljMopp4gbU
This video presents Ganyu’s skills.
How reliable is all of this? The information comes from the Beta of Genshin Impact 1.2. It is possible that some aspects may change based on tester feedback. But generally, you can expect Ganyu to be a Cryo version of Amber.
When will Ganyu and Update 1.2 be released? The new update for the cooperative RPG Genshin Impact is planned for late December. Ganyu is set to arrive along with another 5-star character, Albedo, with Patch 1.2 on December 23.
What do you think of Ganyu as the new heroine in Genshin Impact? Do you think she should have differed more from Amber?
The SF epic “Cyberpunk 2077” is set to release on December 10, but some players seem to already have a copy. The first streamer even showcased the game. The leak featuring 20 minutes of gameplay at the start aired, but the streamer is likely to enjoy it for much longer. CD Projekt Red announces that it will take “legal action” against anyone who breaks the embargo.
That was the stream: A user showed 20 minutes of gameplay from Cyberpunk 2077. The game was showcased on the PS4.During the stream, viewers saw:
The character creation
followed by the first 18 minutes of the game
According to GameStar, the shown material featured scenes from the “Nomad prologue backstory on the PS4 Pro.”
The streamer mainly wanted to celebrate how early he could showcase the game and how great it is that he can show it so early.
Hardly anyone watched the stream live: In the end, the streamer had 52 viewers. However, mirrors of the first 20 minutes spread across the internet.
More cases where developers took legal action against a user:
CD Projekt Red is deleting, but too many mirrors online
This is how CD Projekt Red is responding: The development team has apparently been busy in recent hours deleting mirrors of the 20-minute stream from the internet. It’s as tedious as trying to push toothpaste back into the tube.
Anyone searching for the clip will find working mirrors in forums like “Resetera” to watch the video.
CD Projekt Red announced to the site Dualshockers that it will take “legal action against anyone who breaks the embargo/street date.”
Players on reddit already said: They held the game in their hands.
This is how the leak of Cyberpunk 2077 is being discussed: In recent days, quite a bit of gameplay has already been seen. Journalists like Michael Graf from GameStar have already spent 16 hours with Cyberpunk 2077, wrote major previews, and showcased gameplay (via GameStar).
Therefore, the newly leaked gameplay isn’t extremely exciting. But it’s at least interesting to see how the “unpatched Cyberpunk 2077” runs on a regular PS4.
What’s the catch about the leak? The version presumably features gameplay from a version that is still missing the optimization of a day-one patch.
Players now fear that they will be spoiled by people who have already been able to play the game. Therefore, one should probably be cautious from now on if one wants to check out Cyberpunk 2077 without knowing what to expect.
The streamer who spent 20 minutes on Cyberpunk 2077 on Twitch might definitely hear from the developers’ lawyers and think about those 20 minutes a lot longer.
Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the most anticipated game of 2020. But recently, some dark clouds gathered over the game. Reports circulated about harsh working conditions and a culture of overtime that raises concerns:
Has Destiny 2 finally received its Gjallarhorn 2.0 with Beyond Light? The new exotic “Eyes of Tomorrow” from the new raid can stand up to the comparison with the cult weapon.
This is causing a stir in Destiny: The first Guardians have completed the new Deep Stone Crypt raid from the expansion Destiny 2: Beyond Light and have found a new exotic toy: the rocket launcher “Eyes of Tomorrow”.
The Guardians who have this thing in their hands are giving the exotic top scores. Destiny expert Aztecross even says, “This is the strongest raid exotic that Bungie has ever given us.” Initial comparisons with the most famous Destiny weapon, the Gjallarhorn, are being made.
MeinMMO shows you where to get Eyes of Tomorrow, what the rocket launcher can do, and how it performs in the various activities of Destiny 2.
How to get Eyes of Tomorrow: You have to raid; there’s no way around it.
The exotic awaits in the new raid “Deep Stone Crypt” on Europa.
You have a chance for the rocket launcher when you defeat the final boss and loot the chest.
Whether there is an increasing chance for each attempt is currently unknown. Such a system has been implemented by Bungie in the past with other raid exotics – a kind of bad luck protection.
Eyes of Tomorrow can only be found in the Deep Stone Crypt raid from Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Now you know where to get the new exotic, but why is everyone so crazy about the weapon?
What the exotic can do: Eyes of Tomorrow is a rocket launcher that deals solar damage and requires heavy ammo. The weapon’s stats are almost irrelevant, but the high reload speed stands out, which greatly benefits you with the ideal play style.
The main focus is on the two exotic perks:
Everything in sight: The weapon tracks multiple targets and can simultaneously fire at several enemies.
Adaptive projectile: If you take down 4 or more enemies with a salvo, the damage of the next salvo increases.
Don’t be fooled by the sober description: When you look through the scope, you can ping up to 6 enemies instantly. The targets are then stored, and the rockets aggressively seek their victims.
If you then take down 4 enemies – which is not a problem due to the explosion radius and tracking – the damage of the next batch of rockets increases by 40 to 50%.
The 6 green eyes won’t let the prey escape
The new exotic “Eyes of Tomorrow” destroys everything in Destiny 2
Only a few Guardians have the new raid exotic yet. But brace yourselves to see the “Eyes of Tomorrow” soon in all areas of Destiny 2, as the item performs strongly in PvE, the Crucible, and Gambit.
How good the exotic is in PvE:
The weapon can easily take down a wave of normal enemies or deal heavy damage to bosses.
The normal damage seems to be about twice as high as that of the powerful raid exotic Outbreak Perfected.
Activating the damage bonus is enough to send everything that is not a raid or powerful end boss straight to the virtual afterlife.
With a reserve mod, you can reach the limit of 8 rocket salvos and can quickly fire them off thanks to the high reload speed.
Take a look here at how the target acquisition works:

What can the rocket launcher do in PvP? Here, the weapon can be referred to as the baby of Wardcliff Coil and Truth. Both exotic rocket launchers are very popular, and Eyes of Tomorrow combines their power.
If you have an enemy team in your sights, they’re basically all dead.
The target acquisition is instantaneous, and the target tracking is very aggressive.
In the Crucible, the weapon performs the weakest, as the rockets fly somewhat slower than those of the exo-parents – but you won’t go wrong with Eyes of Tomorrow even in PvP.

That’s why the weapon is the Gambit king: The rocket launcher is incredibly strong in PvE, good in PvP, but an absolute monster in Gambit.
No matter if time travelers, witches, or high-value targets – everything is surrounded by adds and can be quickly taken down.
The weapon shines the most during invasions. As an invader, you can catch the 4-player team with a single rocket load if you’re lucky. The target tracking makes it hard to escape, and you can send your merciless, homing killers even over great distances.
With 2 rocket scavenger mods, you receive 4 rockets per heavy ammunition box. This ideally means you can wipe out the opposing team in just 4 visits.
Has Bungie created a carrot with the new exotic that can lure you into the raid? Do you think Eyes of Tomorrow could soon become a problem, or do we simply need such powerful weapons?

Those who wish can already pre-order the latest expansion. But this time, the WoW add-on comes in three different digital variants:
Base Edition
Heroic Edition
Epic Edition
We’ll tell you what’s included in each version.
What is included in the Base, Heroic, and Epic Editions of Shadowlands?
What is included in the Base Edition? The Base Edition costs 39.99€ and is thus comparatively inexpensive. Buyers receive the base game of Shadowlands. Additionally, there are:
since the release of Patch 8.3 visions of N’Zoth early access to Death Knights for Pandaren and all allied races.
What is included in the Heroic Edition? The Heroic Edition costs 54.99€ and includes all the content of the Base Edition. Additionally, there is:
A character boost to level 50.
The flying mount “Enchanted Eternal Wyrm”
The mount grants a quest that unlocks a special transmog set
What is included in the Epic Edition? The Epic Edition of WoW: Shadowlands costs a hefty 74.99€ and includes all the content of the Heroic Edition plus some extra goodies:
30 days of game time
Pet Animawyrmling
Hearthstone with “effect of the Eternal Traveler”
Weapon illusion: Wraithchill
What the weapon enchant “Wraithchill” looks like can be seen in this video:

Which version is worth it? If you just want the base game Shadowlands, then the Basic Edition is sufficient. If you are considering wanting a new character at level 50, you should go for the Heroic Edition. If you want all the bonuses and goodies, then pay a little more and spend 75€ on the Epic Edition. Whether the extras justify the additional 35€, everyone has to decide for themselves. You can purchase the three versions at the Blizzard Shop.
This is how the transmog quest works: If you have purchased at least the “Heroic Edition”, you can use the mount Enchanted Eternal Wyrm and receive a quest from it. To do this, you need to click on a sphere on the back of the mount. You can also get the quest from other players, even if you do not own an Eternal Wyrm!
The quest requires you to collect 40 items. These drop from all humanoids in current areas. The drop chance is relatively low, which is why the quest can take a lot of time. It’s best to complete it “on the side” while playing dungeons or other content.
Which version of Shadowlands will you get? Is the Basic Edition enough for you? Or do you want it all?
