Since this morning, many players have been desperately trying to preorder a PS5. While many retailers are sold out, Medimax is somewhat like the last hope for buyers. Because there, technical issues have meant that no console has been sold yet.
Update 1:00 PM: Medimax has now also confirmed on Facebook that the PS5 consoles are sold out:
Unfortunately, the PS5 consoles are sold out. Of course, we understand your frustration, but we tried to make the sale as fair as possible. If you couldn’t reserve a console, please continue to follow our Facebook page for the latest updates. We apologize and sincerely appreciate your understanding!
Medimax on Facebook
Update 9:30 AM: We from MeinMMO have now called Medimax again and asked if the sale has already happened and whether it still makes sense to wait. And the answer is likely to disappoint many who have been waiting.
The employee was not 100% sure but said that some had already gotten through, and it basically doesn’t make sense to wait on that side, which is still struggling with technical problems.
Update November 20, 8:50 AM: We have compiled the current status regarding the preorders of the PS5 and a glimpse of how things will proceed:
Update 9:00 PM: According to the current status, Medimax is the last station still available for purchasing a PS5. However, the site is still facing technical issues.
As communicated via Facebook, the servers are currently overloaded. When they will be back online is uncertain.
Update 6:15 PM: According to EURONICS, the first orders are apparently starting to come in. They announced on Twitter that a limited number of accesses to the shop are now allowed. However, the tweet has since been deleted.
What is going on? We from MeinMMO have been accompanying the preorder of the PS5 with a live ticker throughout the day. There you can find all retailers and general info.
However, the PS5 is sold out at most retailers by now. Only EURONICS has spoken up in a tweet and announced that no consoles have been sold yet.
Instead, preorders will only be possible once their system is running stably. Currently, you can access the EURONICS website, but as soon as you click a link related to the PS5, an error message appears.
Will there be preorders today? It is currently not certain whether the EURONICS system will be stable today or not. There is no guarantee for a purchase on this platform.
Nonetheless, the retailer is currently somewhat of a last hope for interested buyers:
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: Without affecting the price, we receive a small commission from the provider.
Medimax is also still struggling with the system
Are there no other retailers left? Many retailers like OTTO, Amazon, Expert, and GameStop are already completely sold out. However, there is still a small hope: Medimax.
Because the retailer is also currently struggling with technical issues. As we were told in a phone inquiry, they are already working on fixing the problems. Once the site goes online, you will also have a chance to get a PS5 there.
How did the release day go? Throughout the entire day, there have been many crazy things to observe regarding the PS5 release. For instance, the shipping retailer Amazon has already gone down and on eBay prices for PS5 consoles have skyrocketed.

In the upcoming update “Steel Dawn,” the legendary Steel Brotherhood finally returns to Fallout 76. But what exactly makes the Brotherhood so special? MeinMMO gives you a little history lesson on Fallout and explains who these knights are, where they come from, and what their goals may be.
What is the Steel Brotherhood? Primarily, the Steel Brotherhood aims to preserve the technology of the old world before the war and safeguard it for the future of humanity.
It is essentially a military order with a strong hierarchy, originating from former soldiers and officers of the US troops, which has evolved over the decades. Goals and structures have continually changed.
The Brotherhood is such an important part of the Fallout world that it has appeared in every official installment of the series. It even received its own game, which, however, is not part of the official canon.
With its knights, paladins, and scribes, it is an iconic presence that every Fallout player has likely heard of at least once. Behind the somewhat mystical name, however, lies much more than just a group of daredevils in centimeter-thick steel armor wielding big guns.
The Steel Brotherhood is known for its use of power armor.
“America has failed. Let us forge a Steel Brotherhood”
The origins of the legendary faction: The very first predecessors of the Steel Brotherhood were still officially soldiers of the US Army, who had served even before the Great War. A unit of the army served in 2076 under Captain Roger Maxson at the Mariposa military base in California.
There, they were to oversee a research project, amid fears from the US government of espionage by China. The project focused on the study of FEV, the “Forced Evolutionary Virus,” which would later lead to super mutants and even the Scorched and Flame Beasts in Fallout 76.
After Maxson’s unit learned that the scientists were conducting experiments with the virus on prisoners of war, they rebelled. Such a venture was against their moral standards.
However, through interrogations, Maxson found out that these projects were sanctioned by the government, and his faith in them was shaken. As the leader of the new rebellion, he declared his separation from the United States and only three days later, the bombs fell.
Arthur Maxson, a descendant of Roger Maxson, still leads a branch of the Brotherhood in Fallout 4. Image source: Fallout Wiki.
How was the Steel Brotherhood formed? After the atomic strikes, Maxson, his unit, and their families fled to Lost Hills, an old government bunker. This remains the main base of the Steel Brotherhood to this day.
Using satellite communications, Maxson sought out other survivors of the army and found Lieutenant Elizabeth “Lizzy” Taggerdy of the US Rangers, who was operating in Appalachia, West Virginia, at the time.
Maxson explained to Taggerdy what he had experienced in Mariposa and why governmental organizations are doomed to repeat the same mistakes that ultimately led to catastrophe.
He made it clear that America had failed and renounced governmental organizations. The Brotherhood was to operate explicitly outside the US government to prevent it from being misused as an army. He stated:
We cannot simply remain the US Army. Then it is only a matter of time before some general or damned politician comes out of a vault and starts commanding us around. And worse yet: They will order some soldier to start again with everything. Another round of atomic death.
Maxson in the holotape “Founding of the Steel Brotherhood”
In a holotape that can be found in Camp Venture in Fallout 76, Maxson gives a speech in which he mentions the Brotherhood by name for the first time, saying: “We will keep only the good from the past. And one day we will reclaim the lost. Let us forge a Steel Brotherhood!”
Did you know? The idea of the Brotherhood is likely based on the “Guardians,” a hostile faction from the game Wasteland. This is considered the spiritual predecessor of the entire Fallout series.
How is the Brotherhood organized? The Brotherhood is an order with a strictly military hierarchy. Every superior gives instructions to their direct subordinates, and they must obey.
The ranks are modeled on archaic structures. In the provisional first model, newcomers start as scribes or knights. Both can be promoted to paladins, though knights must first be dubbed as knights. Paladins then have the opportunity to be elected as elders. Later, these ranks are initially replaced by candidates who choose their path or are assigned one.
The system has been revised and expanded several times during the Brotherhood’s history, with the roles of scribes and knights, and at times also paladins, being further developed. Some chapters even later offered the role of “Lancers” to represent the air forces.
Register of Key Members
Roger Maxson: Founder of the Steel Brotherhood, first elder, and now worshiped by many followers.
Elizabeth “Lizzy” Taggerdy: The likely first paladin and leader of the Brotherhood in Appalachia.
Grant McNamara: A civilian accepted by the Brotherhood in Appalachia, who was instrumental as a researcher in the fight against the Flame Beasts.
Hailey Takano: A researcher working for the Brotherhood in the fight against the Flame Beasts and who trained Odessa Valdez.
Odessa Valdez: One of the first keepers of the code and part of the expedition force that aims to restore the Brotherhood’s presence in Appalachia.
Leila Rahmani: Leader of the expedition to Appalachia.
Elder Elijah: Founder of the chapter in the Mojave Desert.
Nolan McNamara: Elder of the chapter in the Mojave Desert, ensured the Brotherhood’s survival after the war with the NCR (New California Republic). Possibly related to Grant McNamara.
Owyn Lyons: Founder of the chapter on the East Coast, revolutionized the Brotherhood’s hierarchy. His vision for the Brotherhood was to help others instead of just seeking technology.
Henry Casdin: Founded the “Brotherhood Outcasts,” outcasts who disagreed with Lyons’ ideas. He wanted to return to the original mission.
Arthur Maxson: Descendant of Roger Maxson and current leader of the Brotherhood on the East Coast/Commonwealth. He adopted Lyons’ model and further refined it. He also brought back the Outcasts into the Brotherhood.
“New Traditions and Our Own Mythology” – The Brotherhood’s Goals
What is its mission? Although the idea and desire of most soldiers just before and after the founding of the Brotherhood was to help others, the goals soon changed.
Under Roger Maxson’s leadership, the Brotherhood was still supposed to help other people, but this became secondary. The main mission became to find and preserve the technologies of the old world as a kind of guardian organization.
With this, the Brotherhood aims to ensure that knowledge from the past is preserved for humanity while also preventing it from being misused.
To rebuild civilization, to reclaim it, our successors will need the secrets of the past. And these secrets are at risk of being lost forever […]
Until now, the Brotherhood has been a well-armed combat force. In the future, we will be the guardians of civilization. Therefore, we must gather every blueprint, every holotape, every book, and every damned note that contains the building blocks of the old world before it is too late.
Our scribes will take them, keep them safe, and perhaps even gain new insights. The knights will protect them like a hard shell around a precious seed. One day […] this seed will blossom into a new civilization […]
Helping fellow humans is a good goal, the goal of a soldier. But in this way … we will be the driving force that changes the world.
Maxson in the holotape “Preservation of Technology”
The Brotherhood’s Religion: After Maxson’s death in 2135, the Brotherhood’s mission evolved into something akin to a religion. Many members referred to him as the “Founder” and “Savior” and nearly worshipped him.
The code created by the scribes, containing Maxson’s ideologies, is seen as something like the holy scripture of the Brotherhood. Thus, this quasi-military organization transformed over time into a proper order.
The sword with wings and gears is the Brotherhood’s emblem and represents their mission to preserve and protect technology.
“West vs. East” – Divided Views in the Brotherhood
What is this inner conflict? These views, however, led to the development of various currents within the Brotherhood. Some members placed more value on helping their fellow humans, while others viewed Maxson’s mission to preserve technology as the highest good.
This development was further exacerbated by the Brotherhood being scattered throughout North America. Although their numbers were relatively small, expeditions were launched in many different areas.
This led to the establishment of new “chapters,” groups within the Brotherhood, each led by its own elder in their respective area. As each chapter faced its own challenges and had different conditions, many different ideas of the Brotherhood emerged from this.
The Chapters of the Brotherhood
The Steel Brotherhood: The original Brotherhood based in Lost Hills with several outposts. This is where the Council of Elders operates and manages all chapters of the Brotherhood.
The Steel Brotherhood in Appalachia: The sister organization of the Brotherhood led by Lizzy Taggerdy, which was founded almost simultaneously. It was wiped out a few years after its founding when the knights were overwhelmed by Flame Beasts.
The Mojave Chapter: Founded by Elder Elijah, who betrayed and abandoned the Brotherhood at the height of the war with the NCR. It is now led by Elder McNamara, who has since isolated the chapter from the outside world.
Lyons’ Steel Brotherhood: A chapter led by Owyn Lyons that openly disregarded the orders of the Elder Council. The chapter’s primary goal is humanitarian aid rather than the forced preservation of knowledge. At some point, the Brotherhood withdrew all support from this chapter.
Elder Owyn Lyons, known from Fallout 3, revolutionized the Brotherhood’s hierarchy. Image source: Fallout Wiki.
The Eastern Chapter: Led by Arthur Maxson, who founded the new chapter in the Commonwealth from the remnants of Lyons’ Brotherhood and the Outcasts. Currently active in the wasteland around the capital and in the Commonwealth.
The “Circle of Steel”
To maintain order within the Brotherhood despite the many currents and ideas, there exists something akin to an internal affairs department: the “Circle of Steel.” Members of the Circle ensure that rules within the Brotherhood are followed and violations are punished.
The most well-known member is Christine Royce, who is assigned to Elder Elijah in Fallout: New Vegas after he betrays the Brotherhood. The fact that she hunts him with a sniper rifle and camouflage gear shows roughly how the Circle carries out its missions.
Deserters and Outcasts
Throughout the many years of existence, numerous members of the Brotherhood have split off from it. Some of the most well-known include the Outcasts, who were later brought back under Maxson, and the chapter in Chicago, which severed all ties with the Brotherhood after a plane crash.
Most of the deserters harbor no ill will against the Brotherhood; they simply disagree with the leadership’s decisions or those of their chapter.
Hank Madigan was one of those former members. He separated from the Brotherhood after Roger Maxson’s plan to focus primarily on preserving knowledge and to make helping people a secondary concern. Madigan helped found the Fire Devils, a civilian aid organization in Appalachia that closely collaborated with the Brotherhood until tensions eventually arose.
What role does the Brotherhood play in Appalachia? Already before the events of Fallout 76, the Brotherhood chapter in Appalachia was wiped out. Like all the people that players can initially encounter, the knights and paladins are dead.
Nevertheless, they are an important part of the story, as players must undergo the initiation test so that they can ultimately succeed in the fight against the Flame Beasts and create a cure for the Scorched plague.
These hinted, when decrypted, that the Brotherhood wants to return. In a new video, Bethesda itself tells the background of the Brotherhood in Appalachia:

How can I interact with it? During various community events, it was possible to donate resources to Russel Dorsey so that the Brotherhood could establish a base in Appalachia. Every week during the events, a specific material had to be donated.
This has been the only real interaction with the Brotherhood so far. Since the major “One Wasteland” update in Fallout 76, however, there is the quest “Breaking the Silence,” where you first truly come into contact with the Brotherhood.
With this letter, a real member of the Brotherhood contacts you for the first time.
The quest is linked to the new daily operations, in which you must complete a small scenario with special tasks and enemies for Vernon Dodge. In return, there are rewards corresponding to your performance that match the ranks of the Brotherhood.
When will the Brotherhood return? With the upcoming update “Steel Dawn,” scheduled for December 1st, the Brotherhood is finally set to return to Appalachia. However, there is no specific date for this yet.
Since the update “One Wasteland”, there have been increasingly concrete hints about what will actually happen. For example, we already know that scholar Odessa Valdez is traveling to Appalachia with the “First Expeditionary Unit of the Brotherhood.” Leila Rahmani, scholar Valdez, and knight Daniel Shin will settle with Russell Dorsey at the ATLAS Observatory.
Support comes directly from Lost Hills, the main base of the Steel Brotherhood, under the leadership of Leila Rahmani. She is to ensure that Appalachia becomes safer again.
The story of the Brotherhood will continue to be told in upcoming updates. This was revealed to us by Project Lead Jeff Gardiner and Lead Quest Designer Brianna Schneider in an interview here on MeinMMO.

The Steel Brotherhood after Fallout 76 – What Happens Next?
This is how the Brotherhood’s history will proceed: From the history of the other Fallout parts, we already know that the Brotherhood gets embroiled in a war with the New California Republic, in which they are nearly wiped out.
Moreover, some parts of the Brotherhood forget their origins and their mission or are at risk of ceasing to exist due to lack of successors.
However, the Brotherhood still exists in Fallout 4, which takes place nearly 200 years after Fallout 76. It will not find its end already in Appalachia.
What will players be involved in? There are currently no concrete details about what players in Fallout 76 will be able to do. However, the legendary Roger Maxson is still alive at this time.
He may even personally make an appearance, and you will help him lead the Brotherhood to the greatness it later achieves. However, you might also encounter descendants of Grant McNamara or ancestors of Nolan McNamara and watch as the Mojave chapter is established.
What the Brotherhood exactly intends to accomplish in Appalachia and how you can help with it is still uncertain. However, many players are already excited about the update and have even made suggestions on how it can be improved.
What are you particularly looking forward to? What do you think about the Brotherhood? Discuss in the comments and listen to our MeinMMO podcast with editor Leya Jankowski, GameStar editor-in-chief Michael Graf, and Fallout expert Benedict Grothaus, whether Fallout 76 can make a turnaround and how the Brotherhood can help with it.

What can you expect in Elite Dangerous? Elite Dangerous is the latest installment in the long-running space game series, with the first part released back in 1984.
The current game places you in a persistent online galaxy where you can meet and interact with other players. You will encounter many missions, such as transportation, trading, or space battles. Over time, you can upgrade your spaceship or acquire new vessels.
The story of Elite Dangerous is told through updates. For example, there was a war with the alien Thargoids. However, players also write their own stories by exploring the farthest corners of the galaxy or initiating rescue missions for pilots lost in space.

In League of Legends, the Pre-Season 11 has arrived. With it came various changes, especially to the items. Several new items were introduced, and with the Mythic items, even a completely new category. We from MeinMMO reveal what has changed and which are the best Mythic items for Season 11.
What has changed regarding the items in the Pre-Season? With Patch 10.23, the items in LoL were significantly adjusted:
19 items were removed or changed. Some of them will return as the so-called Mythic items
What are the new Mythic items? These new items are items of which you can only have one at a time. They are particularly powerful, have a passive effect that enhances your other “finished items” and are meant to serve as cornerstones of your build.
What is this guide about? In this guide, we want to tell you which Mythic items are most useful for each position in the game. We will also adjust this to future updates to provide you with the most current list possible.
Especially at the start of the Pre-Season, the changes caused some confusion among players. For those who want to inform themselves generally about the Pre-Season, here is a fitting video:

The item here depends a bit on which champion type you are playing.
AP damage over time: If you like playing mages with a lot of damage over time, like Malzahar, Cassiopeia, or Azir, you should go for Liandry’s Anguish. With the special effect, you burn your opponents and gain more magic penetration for your later attacks:
80 ability power
600 mana
20 ability haste
Unique – BURN: When you deal damage to enemies with abilities, they burn and take 15 damage (+2.5% ability power) per second for 4 seconds, as well as magic damage equal to 1% of their maximum health. You gain 5% magic penetration per second against burning targets (up to 25%).
MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,400 gold
AP burst damage: If you instead rely on mages that deal a lot of burst damage, such as LeBlanc, Zoe, or Syndra, you should take a closer look at Luden’s Tempest. The item generally provides more magic penetration and causes additional AoE damage when you cast abilities:
80 ability power
10 magic penetration
600 mana
10 ability haste
Unique – ECHO: Damage-dealing abilities deal an additional 100 (+15% ability power) magic damage to the target and 3 nearby enemies, and grant you 30% movement speed for 2 seconds (10 seconds cooldown).
MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 5 magic penetration.
The item costs 3,400 gold
LeBlanc is the epitome of a burst damage mage in LoL.
AP melee fighters: Fans of AP melee fighters, like Sylas or Ekko, should use the Hextech Rocketbelt instead. Here you gain extra health and have an ability with which you can jump to enemies:
80 ability power
250 health
15 ability haste
Unique – HYPERSONIC (ACTIVE): Jump in the target direction and fire magical projectiles in an arc that deal 200–300 (level 1–18) (+15% ability power) magic damage. You then gain 75% movement speed for 2 seconds when moving towards enemy champions (40 seconds cooldown).
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 magic penetration.

The item costs 3,200 gold
An alternative for assassins in the middle is also the Duskblade of Draktharr, which we will introduce again in the Jungle items.
The best items for Junglers
For Junglers, much also depends on the playstyle. Four items have stood out in the meta so far.
Jungle Tanks: In the Pre-Season, tank junglers like Sejuani, Zac, or Jarvan IV are making a return to the meta. One reason for this is the Mythic item Sunfire Aegis, which causes burning around them. This affects both enemy players and neutral minions in the jungle:
450 health
30 armor
30 magic resistance
15 ability haste
Unique – BURN: Deal 20–40 (level 1–18) (+1% bonus health) magic damage per second to nearby enemies (damage against minions is increased by 50% and against monsters by 200%). If an enemy champion or epic monster takes damage from this effect, the subsequent burning damage increases by 12% for 5 seconds (max 6 stacks).
Unique – FLAMING TOUCH: At maximum stacks of “Burn”, your normal attacks burn nearby enemies. The burning deals damage per second for 3 seconds.
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,200 gold.
Sejuani is a strong tank and enjoys great popularity in Pre-Season 11.
Lane Ganker: If you actively attack lanes and are looking for kills, the new item Duskblade of Draktharr may make you happy. It is especially suited for champions like Shaco, Rengar, or Kha’Zix, as enemies are slowed by attacks:
55 attack damage
18 lethality
20 ability haste
Unique – NIGHTWALKER: Attacks against a champion deal an additional 100 normal damage (+30% bonus attack damage) and slow them by 99% for 0.25 seconds (15 seconds cooldown). If a champion you damaged within the last 3 seconds dies, this cooldown is reset and you become invisible for 1.5 seconds.
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,200 gold
AP Jungler: Although they are currently a bit weaker than tanks, AP junglers like Elise, Nidalee, or Evelynn are still very popular. The item Night Harvester is best suited for them:
80 ability power
250 health
15 ability haste
Unique – SOULREAPER: When you deal damage to a champion, they take an additional 175–250 (level 1–18) (+15% ability power) magic damage, and you gain 25% movement speed for 1.5 seconds (60 seconds cooldown per enemy).
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,200 gold
Ability Users: For certain champions like Hecarim, Vi, and Xin Zhao, the strength of Trinity has always been the best item. This remains true even after the rework:
200 health
35 attack damage
35% attack speed
10 ability haste
Unique – TRIPLE STRIKE: Normal attacks grant you 25 movement speed for 3 seconds. If the target is a champion, your base attack damage is increased by 6%. Can be stacked up to 5 times (max 30%).

MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 10% attack speed.
The item costs 3,333 gold.
Hecarim is one of the champions that always rely on the strength of Trinity.
The best items for the Top Lane
In the Top Lane, two items are well-suited, depending on the champion type you play.
Tanks: In the Top Lane, tanks like Volibear, Ornn, or Malphite can be played wonderfully. They all benefit from Sunfire Aegis and the additional damage around them:
450 health
30 armor
30 magic resistance
15 ability haste
Unique – BURN: Deal 20–40 (level 1–18) (+1% bonus health) magic damage per second to nearby enemies (damage against minions is increased by 50% and against monsters by 200%). If an enemy champion or epic monster takes damage from this effect, the subsequent burning damage increases by 12% for 5 seconds (max 6 stacks).
Unique – FLAMING TOUCH: At maximum stacks of “Burn”, your normal attacks burn nearby enemies. The burning deals damage per second for 3 seconds.
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,200 gold.
Ability Users: For certain champions like Fiora, Darius, and also Garen, the strength of Trinity is the best item here. This remains true even after the rework:
200 health
35 attack damage
35% attack speed
10 ability haste
Unique – TRIPLE STRIKE: Normal attacks grant you 25 movement speed for 3 seconds. If the target is a champion, your base attack damage is increased by 6%. Can be stacked up to 5 times (max 30%).

MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 10% attack speed.
The item costs 3,333 gold.
AP Top Lane: Currently, AP Top Laners like Lulu or Galio are rather rare. For Lulu, the strength of Trinity is also recommended, for Galio, the Hextech Rocketbelt.
The best items for AD Carries
Classic AD Carries: The new item “Shieldbow of Immortality” has proven to be particularly strong for classic AD carries:
+50 attack damage
+15% attack speed
+20% critical strike chance
+12% lifesteal
Unique – RESCUE ANCHOR: When you take damage that would drop your health below 30%, you gain a shield for 3 seconds equal to 250–700 health (levels ≤ 10–18). You also receive 15% lifesteal for 8 seconds (90 seconds cooldown).
MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 5 attack damage and 50 health.
The item costs 3,400 gold in total
The Shieldbow of Immortality is ideal for characters that like to attack from a distance but want to withstand the attack of an assassin from behind. It is particularly suited when you want to play aggressively.
Ashe is an immobile champion but can benefit from both items.
Immobile Champions: If you play an AD Carry with very little mobility, such as Jinx, Miss Fortune, or Xayah, you should look at Gale Force:
+55 attack damage
+20% attack speed
+20% critical strike chance
Unique: GALE FORCE (ACTIVE): Jump in the target direction and fire three projectiles at the enemy with the lowest health near your target location (prioritizes champions). Deals a total of 180–315 (level ≤ 10–18) (+45% additional attack damage) magic damage. The damage increases against low-health targets by up to 50% (90 seconds cooldown).
MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 3% movement speed.
The item costs a total of 3,400 gold
The best items for Supporters
Supporters in League of Legends can again take on various roles in Season 11. These include tanks, healers, or even aggressive supporters who want to deal damage as well.
Tank Support: If you like standing in the frontline with champions like Leona, Braum, Tahm Kench, or Nautilus, you should get the Amulet of the Iron Solar. This provides a lot of defensive capabilities while also protecting your teammates:
200 health
20 ability haste
30 armor
30 magic resistance
Unique – DEVOTION (ACTIVE): Grant nearby allies a shield equal to 250–420 (ally level 1–18) that degrades over 2.5 seconds (90 seconds cooldown).
Unique – CONSECRATION: Grants nearby allied champions 5 armor and magic resistance.
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items an additional 2 armor and magic resistance for “Consecration”.
The item costs 2,700 gold.

40 ability power
200 health
20 ability haste
+100% mana regeneration
Unique – GRACE OF STARDUST: When you hit champions in battle with normal attacks or abilities, you heal the most wounded nearby ally for 30–60 health (ally level 1–18, 2 seconds cooldown). With each second you are in combat with champions, this healing effect increases by 37.5% (max. +150%).
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
AP Supporter: If you play an aggressive supporter who needs ability damage and mana, you should use the item Imperial Mandate. It provides exactly what characters like Nami, Yuumi, or Seraphine need:
40 ability power
200 health
20 ability haste
100% mana regeneration
Unique – MARK OF HOSTILITY: Abilities that slow or immobilize a champion deal an additional 60–100 magic damage (level 1–18) and mark them for 4 seconds. Damage from an allied champion will trigger the mark to explode, dealing 60–100 additional magic damage (ally level 1–18). You and your ally will then gain 20% movement speed for 2 seconds (6 seconds cooldown per enemy).
MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 15 ability power.
The item costs 2,700 gold.
Seraphine fits well with this item and is a good support, but still unpopular with many players. We will show you why this is and how great the frustration really is here:
Just before the release of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, Blizzard is making changes to the most important system: the Covenants. More specifically, the Kyrian Covenant. They have been considered an absolute top tip among experts. That might change now.
What kind of Covenant is this? The Kyrians are the first Covenant you will encounter in the new expansion Shadowlands. The orderly beings are somewhat like the law of the Shadowlands and ensure that everything runs according to the rules.
What made it so strong? The reason was the NPC Pelagos. He is one of the companions with whom you can form a Soulbind. Soulbinds are a new mechanic that strengthens you by granting you various buffs.
Most NPCs with whom you can form a bond offer either:
two potency conduits and one enhancing ability
or one potency conduit and two enhancing abilities
Potency conduits enhance your class-specific abilities by granting them bonus damage, for example. Enhancing abilities are, for instance, abilities that improve your secondary stats for a time.
Pelagos was the only character who offered both two potency conduits and two enhancing abilities. For almost every DPS specialization, the Kyrians were therefore considered a pro tip. However, this is changing now.
The abilities at the top and bottom as well as the slots with the crossed swords are the reason for Pelagos’ strength.
Nerf for Pelagos – Which Covenant is now the strongest?
This has been nerfed: The ability “Letting Go of the Past” originally granted you a bonus to versatility. Instead, each stack of the ability now reduces your magic damage taken by 1%.
This means that “Letting Go of the Past” no longer enhances your damage, as was the case with versatility. Pelagos will be a bit weaker than before. Additionally, two of the Necrolord NPCs will become stronger.
What should I play now? Due to the changes, the Kyrians are likely no longer the “top Covenant”. However, they have previously only been the best on paper. Effectively, the difference to other Covenants was only a few percentages.
The Necrolords of Maldraxxus have received a buff. Maybe they are worth it for you now?
If you want to get the maximum out of your character, you should take a closer look at all the Covenants. There is likely no longer an “absolutely best Covenant”. In our special on MeinMMO, you can find all abilities and rewards of the Covenants.
Otherwise, the best option is to play what you enjoy. The difference is hardly relevant for your progress in Shadowlands. It’s more important to understand how the dungeons and mechanics work. If you still need help, you can find out with our quiz which Covenant suits you.
With the nerf to Pelagos, Blizzard is addressing the criticism of some players, according to which the Kyrians were too strong and a “mandatory choice” for progress players. Additionally, the Covenant is now placed on a level with the other Covenants, and you are no longer “worse off” if you prefer being a blood-sucking Venthyr.
In our podcast on WoW Shadowlands on MeinMMO, we also talk about the Covenants, their history, and their function in the new addon. You can find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes, and on our podcast page. It will be released on November 25, shortly after the release of Shadowlands.

Now the next ban has followed, but this time it was about a conversation about sex that he had live in stream with his viewers.
Ban after “Sex Talk” – MontanaBlack finds it unfortunate
What is the reason for the ban? MontanaBlack talked about the topic of sex in his livestream and, according to his own statements, “explained/showed to his viewers how he likes to have sex with women.”
He also demonstrated some movements that he makes while doing so to his viewers. On Twitter there is a corresponding clip. However, we warn you that these scenes are not suitable for children.
What does the streamer say about his ban? MontanaBlack himself finds the ban unfortunate. He says: “I find it a bit unfortunate, as I talked very respectfully about the topic of sex and the female sex in this ‘sex talk.’ In the end, it is a 3-day ban because I streamed ‘sexual content’ while I was reenacting a few examples of good sex…”

Here are the rules on Twitch: The guidelines from Twitch state that sexual gestures are prohibited. MontanaBlack did not adhere to this, which is why there is now a short ban.
However, MontanaBlack has not been banned in the past for sex content. He had already received another ban for insults prior to his scandal ban from his vacation in Malta:
Nvidia has commented on the availability of the RTX 3080 during a conference call. According to Nvidia, it may take some time before you can get an RTX 3080. There are various reasons for this.
Nvidia has released a very strong graphics card (GPU) for gamers with the RTX 3080. Accordingly, the demand for the very fast GPU is extremely high. However, they can barely keep up with the supply. There is also speculation about a possible memory upgrade for the RTX 3080.
Where does the information come from? At Nvidia, there was an “Earnings Call”. This is a conference call where a corporation discusses the financial results of a quarter. Several people from Nvidia spoke during this event.
Who spoke? Colette Kress, the Chief Financial Officer of Nvidia, explained during the call that it might take some time before there are enough graphics cards available again. The first devices were sold out immediately:
Many of our retail and online partners were sold out immediately and the RTX 30 series was the biggest launch we have ever had.
Although we expected strong demand, it even exceeded our highest expectations. Given industry-wide capacity constraints and long cycle times, it may take several months before product availability matches demand.
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang also stated that they would be pleased if the supply could increase more quickly. But due to COVID, they are currently in a difficult situation. He said: “But we would welcome shorter cycle times; we would welcome more flexible supply chains.” However, it may take some time before the situation improves.
Sony, Microsoft, and AMD also affected by high demand
Nvidia is not the only company currently facing challenges with high demand and low availability. Alongside Nvidia, Sony, Microsoft, and AMD are also struggling with this:
AMD has been struggling with high demand since the launch of the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT. The graphics cards were sold out immediately and there is still high demand.
Microsoft’s Xbox Series X|S is also currently sold out. Meanwhile, the Xbox chief has stated that this will not change quickly until there are enough consoles.
Sony’s PlayStation 5 was also sold out immediately shortly after pre-order. However, there is often a replenishment. Overall, the devices are also in short supply here.
If you’re interested in an RTX 3080 or RTX 3090, then check this out: Here we introduce all the shops where you can normally buy an RTX 3080 or 3090. Currently, however, there are hardly any graphics cards available.

The AK-74u is an MP variant of the famous AK-47 and was a hit in the alpha version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. After the nerf of the MP5, it might receive more attention again. MeinMMO shows you a strong setup and the comparison to the MP5.
Why should I try the AK-74u now? If you were looking for the best weapon for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in the first days after release, you often found only one answer: the West German MP5. Many gave a recommendation, and a good part of them even demanded its quick nerf.
And so it happened. 6 days after release, an update nerfed the MP5. It lost 33% of its damage range, and according to developer Treyarch, they also adjusted the recoil of the first shots.
If you are looking for a solid alternative for the MP5 after the nerf, which even surpasses the German model in some aspects, then MeinMMO provides you with a strong setup for the AK-74u and the comparison to the MP5 in the most important values.
Cold War: AK-74u setup that easily competes with the MP5
What does a strong setup look like? SMGs are close combat fighters and are supposed to quickly take down enemies at short distances. Therefore, you need a high aim-down-sight speed to get on target quickly, a few extra shots to respond to multiple enemies, and good hip fire:
Muzzle: Suppressor
Barrel: 9.3 VDV Reinforced
Underbarrel: Foregrip
Magazine: 40-round Drum
Grip: GRU Elastic Wrap
What does this setup bring? The suppressor supports your advances behind enemy lines and keeps you hidden from detection when you take fire at enemies. However, this comes at the cost of your damage range, which you balance out with the reinforced barrel.
On top of that, you get 80% more projectile acceleration so that the bullet travel time at short distances is hardly noticeable. This value is much more important in Cold War than it was in Modern Warfare and becomes particularly noticeable with SMGs at a certain distance. On average, their bullet speed is only half that of other weapons in Cold War. Not so with the AK-74u, which reaches 900 meters/second.
The foregrip helps you with horizontal recoil control and provides a secure feeling while firing. The drum magazine also gives you more security when fights last longer or multiple enemies appear in your line of sight asking for bullets in their faces.
With the grip, you then reduce your aim-down-sight time to 210 milliseconds but lose a bit of movement speed and take longer to go from sprinting to firing.
AK-74u setup with Gunfighter compensates for drawbacks
What else can I attach with Gunfighter? With the powerful wildcard “Gunfighter,” you can even equip 8 attachments to a weapon. You can choose the following:
Optic: Microflex LED – If you find the Iron Sight (Rear & Front) difficult
Body: Steady Aim Laser – Improves your hip fire
Stock: Wire Stock – Partially compensates for the sprint-to-fire delay from the grip
This gives the weapon a little more boost to its hip fire and movement, but you have to forgo the other strong wildcards.
AK-74u beats MP5 in 2 important values
What makes the Soviet SMG special? Two things you should definitely know about the AK-74u:
Its bullet speed is at least twice as high as that of other SMGs
It has the potentially lowest time-to-kill of all SMGs
These facts already made it one of the strongest weapons in the alpha, and even in the full version, it can benefit from its stats. With similar setups, the comparison to the MP5 in these important values looks like this:
Time-to-Kill: AK-74u – 258 ms / MP5 – 280 ms
Damage per bullet: AK-74u – 38 / MP5 – 32
Shots for kill: AK-74u – 4 / MP5 – 5
Projectile acceleration: AK-74u – 900 m/s / MP5 – 450 m/s
In direct damage comparison, it outperforms the MP5 at the shortest ranges. Additionally, the risk of missing a moving target due to bullet speed is lower. Compared to the MP5, you also save bullets since the damage per projectile is about 16% higher.
What can the MP5 do better than the AK-74u? However, the MP5 is also no slouch after the nerf. The reduction in range has hurt it, but it hasn’t broken it. Here are important values in which the MP5 has the edge with a similar setup:
Aim-down-sight time: AK-74u – 210 ms / MP5 – 192.5 ms
Damage range: AK-74u – 7.85 m / MP5 – 9.45 m
Due to the reduced range, the MP5 remains in the race against its fiercest MP competitor, but the difference between the two is now virtually just a matter of taste. This also applies to the damage range over 8 or 10 meters. Because even here, the AK is a bit faster in TTK (both around 350 ms).
More tips & tricks for Cold War can be found here:
Which one should I take? If you want to minimize your aim-down-sight time, go for the MP5. If you find TTK more important, the AK-74u is your choice. Also, opt for the AK if you notice that the low bullet speed of the SMGs bothers you.
Your preference for fire rate may also play a role. If you prefer a high fire rate so that a missed bullet costs less time, the MP5 wins. With the AK-74u, you save bullets and need to sink fewer bullets into your target to take them down.
If you want to stick with SMGs, compare the two in your matches and find out for yourself which one hits the hardest.
Not for me! What can I use instead? If you are struggling with the low range of the MP5 and the AK-74u is no longer an option for you, consider another Soviet product: the AK-47.

The release date for Shadowlands is November 24. But when does it start exactly? We have all the info.
At the last second, Blizzard practically delayed the release of World of Warcraft Shadowlands. For a long time, fans were left in the dark about when the 8th expansion would arrive. Just a few minutes ago, Blizzard announced the new release date of the addon. Shadowlands will be released next month.
When does World of Warcraft Shadowlands come out? The new release date for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is Tuesday, November 24, 2020.
When does Shadowlands come out? Time: In Germany, this will be at 12:00 AM, so in the night from Monday (November 23) to Tuesday (November 24). From then on, players can venture into the Shadowlands and start their journey to level 60 to later join a covenant.

The first official video teaser for the biggest update of all time in GTA Online has been released by Rockstar. Now we have the first images of the map expansion that awaits us. We show you what it looks like.
This is the teaser: After recent construction work at the Diamond Casino and speculation from players, there is now the first official video teaser for the massive update.
This is what could be seen in the teaser: In the “trailer”, various images flicker as if someone is switching through multiple security cameras. But you can recognize a city with several houses. Since this place does not currently exist in the game, it is likely the new location that awaits us.
Here you can see the new location, which is built with many houses
The island does not seem to be small, as there are still large fields scattered around and space for green areas. More images were shown by GTA Series Videos on Twitter.
But another hint in the teaser has players perked up. A small image with the outline of an island is visible. This strongly suggests that the new content will be located on an island. Players had already suspected this, as a corpse suddenly keeps appearing in various places on the beach.
Here the outline of the new island can be seen more closely:

The corpse that now appears on the beach also made an appearance in the mini-trailer. Although it is still unclear what happened to the person and why they were so badly beaten, we at least now know the name: John Doe.
Unfortunately, it is still not known when the update will be released. Only that it will be released in December 2020. Until more information about the biggest update of all time is available, players can still take advantage of the bonuses and discounts.
The Twitch streamer Micheal “shroud” Grzesiek reacted to the ban of his colleague xQc. He stated that he did not expect a ban and that such a suspension is the best scenario for big streamers.
This is what happened:
Last weekend, xQc participated in the Twitch Rivals tournament in Fall Guys along with other major streamers. There, he used stream sniping which gave him an unfair advantage.
The ban caused a big stir in the streaming scene. After all, xQc is currently the largest streamer in the world with thousands of viewers. Even shroud, who has vocally advocated for a ban, reacted to this.
shroud compares ban to a vacation
This is how shroud reacted: In a YouTube video, shroud revisits the entire topic surrounding the ban. There he says:
I didn’t actually think he would receive a ban. Many people said it was disproportionately exaggerated. I believe it was the opposite – I thought it hadn’t been exaggerated enough, and I thought Twitch would just let it go.

Afterward, he further explains this statement and claims that no other Twitch partner had done something like this before. He then adds:
The only people who stream snipe are non-partners, and then they get permanently banned and that’s it. I bet Twitch didn’t even know what to do.
He refers to the recurring rumor that major streamers are above the law on Twitch and can do whatever they want. In fact, some bans are somewhat controversial, as other streamers have not been banned for similar actions. The Twitch CEO even commented on this once.
This is what shroud thinks about the bans of major streamers: shroud claims that bans for major streamers are not a problem. As long as these bans are not permanent, they often come back even stronger, says the streamer.
This was the reason for Dr Disrespect’s ban in 2019.
He then said: “Would it really bother me if I got banned? Probably not, because a ban doesn’t really mean anything. You take a little vacation, and then you’re back in the swing of things.”
shroud even says that it is the “best scenario” for a streamer since it’s just forced vacation and then you can return to work normally.
shroud himself is not known for bans on Twitch. However, he spent some time on Mixer and only returned to Twitch this year:
Will players meet Arthas Menethil in WoW: Shadowlands? The Game Director provides insight.
Only a few days left until the new WoW expansion Shadowlands launches. The Shadowlands have already created a lot of buzz, as the cool cinematics were well received by fans. In particular, “Afterlife: Bastion” caused a stir. It not only showcased the hero Uther Lightbringer in his new role but also revealed the fate of Arthas Menethil, the former Lich King.
Many players are now wondering: Will we encounter Arthas in the Shadowlands? Does the story of the former Lich King possibly continue?
The Lich King – will he appear in Shadowlands again?
Is Arthas a character in Shadowlands?
Our colleague Marylin Marx from GameStar had the opportunity to interview Game Director Ion Hazzikostas and pepper him with questions. As Game Director, Hazzikostas is responsible for all major decisions in the game and sets the course. The conversation also touched on Arthas and whether we will meet the Lich King. After all, there was still no trace of him in the beta.
When asked when we would see Arthas again, Hazzikostas replied:
That’s a difficult [question]. We want to be very careful with Arthas. We know that he is probably the most iconic character in the entire Warcraft story. His story and the power he wielded and that affected him are definitely strongly connected to the story of the Shadowlands and what we will learn about the Jailor.
I wouldn’t necessarily plan on meeting Arthas directly and having conversations with him. (…)
But there’s no question that we will learn more about the nature of the Lich King and what it meant to be the Lich King. Or where this power came from and where it went.
Ion Hazzikostas, Game Director of World of Warcraft
No Arthas to touch: Even if the answer is somewhat vague, players should not expect to personally meet the soul of Arthas and be able to interact with him extensively. While Arthas and his story are closely tied to the Shadowlands and the Jailor, a personal intervention from the former Lich King seems rather unlikely.
So, if you were looking forward to a little evening chat with the former prince of Lordaeron, you might be disappointed in the Shadowlands. It’s a pity, considering that his sister Calia is slowly beginning to play a larger role.
Would you have liked to meet Arthas? Or do you think it’s good that Arthas remains more of a side character who doesn’t personally appear as a conversational partner?
At the Korean fair G-Star 2020, the publisher Kakao Games presented the game Odin: Valhalla Rising in detail. The game is a Nordic multiplatform MMORPG that is set to be released for PC and smartphone. It impresses at first glance with its beautiful graphics.
What is Odin: Valhalla Rising? The new MMORPG takes place in a world of Norse mythology. Well-known figures like Odin and Thor are supposed to appear in it, as well as the continents Midgard, Jötunheim, Nidavellir, and Alfheim.
You explore an open game world where plenty of adventures await you. Thanks to Unreal Engine 4, this world looks breathtakingly beautiful. This is also shown in the latest trailers for the game:
Various biomes can be seen, including snowy landscapes, mountains, green meadows, and huge forests. You can also explore cities.
In the world, you will encounter dangerous monsters, including dragons, giants, and a demonic creature with eyes all over its body.
You will be able to climb, ride, fly on dragons, swim, and travel on a ship in the world.

When does the MMORPG come out? The release of Odin: Valhalla Rising is confirmed for 2021 in South Korea and Taiwan. “Immediately after that,” the game should also be accessible to the West.
Kakao Games will take care of publishing, which is also responsible for the version of Black Desert in Europe and America.
What else does the game offer? In addition to the stunning graphics, the MMORPG focuses on:
Four classes: Warrior, Rogue, Priest, Sorceress
A Holy Trinity of Tank, DPS, and Healer is expected to play a major role
An open world completely without loading screens
Dungeons and PvP battles in the endgame
However, developer Lionheart Games is currently holding back on the details of the gameplay. It is only said that the fights are supposed to feel “brutal” to give players a sense of power. Additionally, it should be possible to inflict injuries on huge boss monsters. How exactly this will unfold is currently unknown.
We also do not know at this time whether there will be autoplay or a cash shop with game advantages.

Is the MMORPG only coming to smartphones? Initially, Odin: Valhalla Rising was announced as a mobile game. However, it is now supposed to be playable on PC as well.
There is supposed to be seamless crossplay between the two versions. This suggests that a special interface for PC will be omitted. Instead, the Nordic MMORPG could play similarly to V4 from Nexon.
Were MMORPGs really better in the past? And did WoW even ruin the “old feeling” a bit? With these questions, the editorial team discussed in the MeinMMO podcast
In addition to Odin: Valhalla Rising, another Nordic MMORPG in development is The Ragnarök. It also comes from Korea, but is explicitly designed for PC, mobile, and consoles.
As the developers emphasized to us, the MMORPG will receive a control adaptation specific to each platform. Here, too, the many movement options and action-packed combat are in the foreground:
In Pokémon GO you will soon be able to catch the first monsters from the Kalos region, which is the 6th generation. We will show you 3 Pokémon that you should remember.
This will happen: Niantic has announced the 6th generation for December 2nd. Then the first 17 Pokémon from the Kalos region will be available. We have already shown you an overview of which monsters are worth it.
A really big highlight hasn’t been included yet. Therefore, we now show you 3 Pokémon that are likely to be really strong and that you shouldn’t miss.
3 strong Pokémon from the 6th generation
This must be considered beforehand: The values of each Pokémon are calculated by a formula that was also used up to Gen 5. Therefore, we already know the strength of the Pokémon.
Furthermore, the attacks of the Pokémon are not yet known. This means that a Pokémon can have really strong values, but with the wrong attacks, it becomes completely useless. It will only show at the release of the monsters whether they are actually as strong as we suspect.
Volcanion
These are the values: Volcanion is a mysterious Pokémon of the types Fire and Water. Here are the currently known values:
Attack value: 252
Defense value: 216
HP value: 190
Maximum CP: 3628
This makes it so interesting: Especially the type combination makes Volcanion so exciting. It is the first Pokémon with the Fire/Water combo and is also quite strong.
It is not the monster with the highest attack value for both types, but you have a weapon here that can be used on both sides. If Volcanion receives strong attacks from both types, you only need one monster and a few TMs, and you can transform it into the other type attacker at any time.
Hoopa
These are the values: Hoopa is a mysterious Pokémon of the Dark/Ghost and Psychic type and comes in 2 forms. Here we look at the unleashed form with the Dark type:
Attack value: 310
Defense value: 191
HP value: 173
This makes it so interesting: The attack value of 310 is incredibly high. This gives it a higher value than Mewtwo, which was previously the best Psychic attacker. Among the Dark attackers, Hoopa is also at the top.
The downside here is the fragility. Hoopa can be defeated quickly and is therefore more of a glass cannon. Additionally, you need to wait for the attacks here as well, because only then can the mysterious Pokémon become truly strong.
These are the values: Zygarde is a legendary Pokémon and can appear in 3 forms. It is of the Dragon and Ground type; we take a look at the complete form:
Attack value: 185
Defense value: 211
HP value: 389
This makes it so interesting: Zygarde is particularly notable for its enormous HP value. Only Blissey and Chansey have higher values. However, these two pink Pokémon can be placed as defenders in the arena – Zygarde, as a legendary Pokémon, cannot yet.
Unlike Blissey and Chansey, Zygarde is also not too bad in attack. So if it gets strong attacks, it could be a real tank that can survive long in raids or in the PvP league and also deal damage.
When could these Pokémon appear? Mysterious and legendary Pokémon are not simply found in the wild. Usually, there are raids or special research for that. We have to wait until Niantic releases these bosses through these means. There are even legendary Pokémon forms from the 5th generation that are still missing. They might get priority first.
Until then, you can take a look at the currently best attackers. You can already strengthen your team there:
In FIFA 21 two new league SBCs are now available. However, the rewards are weaker than usual and frustrate the community.
These are league SBCs: These SBCs involve special tasks where you have to complete a partial SBC for each team within a league. Each challenge brings individual rewards, and completing the entire league SBC then brings special rewards.
These were always very popular in previous FIFA editions, as you could collect players over a long period to get rid of them in the SBC. The rewards were usually worth it, as the packs often brought enough return to recoup the investment. And at the end, there was a special player as an overall prize. Spoiler: This time it is not the case.
The new league SBCs are here – but with worse rewards
Now tasks for the French Ligue 1 and the Saudi Professional League have come in. However, instead of bringing joy to players who have been waiting for league SBCs, frustration sets in. Because the rewards are much worse than expected.
SBCs do not entice with exciting rewards
This is the problem: Whereas previously you could sell the rewards from the league packs on the transfer market through trading and earn coins, now many of the rewards are untradeable.
This is evident from the France SBC: Of the 20 partial SBCs in the Ligue 1 challenge, only half are equipped with tradeable rewards that you could convert into coins.
1 Premium Mixed Players Pack at LOSC Lille
1 Premium Silver Jumbo Pack at FC Nantes
1 Mixed Players Pack at FC Metz
1 Prime Mixed Players Pack (small) at Lens
1 Prime Mixed Players Pack (small) at Montpellier
1 Premium Silver Jumbo Pack at FC Lorient
1 Electrum Players Set (Small) at FCO Dijon
1 Premium Silver Players Set at Saint-Étienne
1 Premium Mixed Players Set at Monaco
1 Gold player (small) at SCO Angers
The PSG SBC, for example, is untradeable
The remaining 10 SBCs all deliver untradeable rewards, which are therefore valueless on the transfer market. Thus, coins are not easily gathered. To get strong players that fit into the team or at least contribute to difficult SBCs, you need a lot of luck.
Additionally, there are no special player cards as overall rewards. As a final reward, you receive a rare Gold Players Pack (small) and a Jumbo Premium Gold Players Pack for Ligue 1. For the Saudi Professional League, there’s a Rare Gold Players Pack. All three packs are untradeable. On reddit, a player compares the new SBCs to earlier editions – and he’s not exactly happy:

The rewards were simply worth much more than in the new version. Additionally, the SBCs are now equipped with time limits. Ligue 1 and the Saudi Professional League will disappear again in 31 days at current rates.
Overall, the mood in the FIFA subreddit regarding the new SBCs is poor. In several posts (via reddit) players are frustrated about the many untradeable rewards and missing player picks. Additionally, there is no way to secure duplicate untradeable rewards that you already have in your club – and then you still have to get rid of the players you received for free. Players wish at least for a way to secure duplicates (via reddit).
The new league SBCs are less worthwhile in their current form than before and face little support. After the deactivation of the first league SBCs, players had hoped that the following SBCs would feature better rewards than the Conmebol variants. However, this does not appear to be the case at current rates. Recently, a new task in FIFA 21 also caused anger.

A new bonus week has started in GTA Online. This brings the Autarch to the podium in the casino. Additionally, there are triple GTA Dollars in certain activities.
What’s on the podium? When you visit the casino in GTA Online right now, the Överflöd Autarch is spinning on the podium. This is a hypercar and it is one of the fastest vehicles that the online mode has to offer.
To receive the car for free, you just need to visit the casino and test your luck. Spin the wheel and you have a chance to win the Autarch. You can try it once a day.
Background on the Autarch:
The car actually costs 1,955,000 GTA Dollars in the Legendary Motorsports shop
It is a two-seater
You can find it at the dealer in-game since December 2017
How fast is the car? The speed of cars in GTA Online can be divided into two categories: the absolute top speed and the fastest lap times.
The Autarch cannot shine solely with its top speed, as it is around 202 km/h (this is not the in-game display, but measured time and distance). However, due to its strong traction, the car achieves good lap times. In our list of the fastest cars 2020 in GTA Online, the Autarch ranks 14th based on lap times, ahead of the Zorrusso and the Deveste Eight.
The bonus week in GTA Online starting from November 19
3x GTA$ and RP: If you participate in land races or super yacht missions during this new event week, you will receive three times the money and RP rewards.
2x GTA$ and RP: In contact missions with Gerald, the Diamond Adventure Modes, and in “Running Back Remix” there are double rewards during this event week.
After the Twitch app disappears as a manager for your addons for World of Warcraft with Shadowlands, Overwolf takes over. However, some players are not satisfied and are looking for alternatives. MeinMMO presents WoWUp and shows you how to install and manage addons with the manager.
What is WoWUp? The independent project provides an alternative to other addon managers for WoW such as current Twitch or future Overwolf. With it, you can update your existing addons or install new addons.
WoWUp has only existed since May 2020, making it relatively young. Its basic structure and features are somewhat reminiscent of the Twitch app, which will no longer support WoW addons from December. This is shortly after the release of the new expansion Shadowlands.
Like Twitch and Overwolf, WoWUp accesses Curse, the largest provider of addons in World of Warcraft. In addition, the manager sources addons from WoWInterface, TukUI, and directly from GitHub and can be used to manage the popular ElvUI.
Where can I get WoWUp and how do I use it? You can download WoWUp from the official website. There are versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The program is quite lightweight at just under 40 MB and requires no installation. You simply download the packaged file, unpack it, and start it.
Installing and Updating Addons with WoWUp
How do I install addons? The program should automatically recognize your installed WoW partitions, including the various versions like Retail, Beta, and Classic. If it does not detect them, you can manually enter the path to the corresponding installation via the options tab.
If you want to install new addons, navigate to the “Get Addons” tab. There you will find a search field in the upper right corner. You can search for the addon you want to install in this field. However, there is no keyword search or categories like in Twitch.
How do I manage updates? If you have already installed addons, you will find them in the “My Addons” tab. There you can click “Check Updates” to see if they are still up to date. This also happens automatically when starting the program.
If you see that an addon or several are outdated, you can either update them individually using the button next to the entry or click “Update All” to update all of them to the latest version automatically.
Why should I use WoWUp?
At the end of November, Curse is changing the provider from Twitch to Overwolf. This has already caused criticism in the community, as Overwolf has a bad reputation regarding advertising, which users complain about in the US forum.
Furthermore, the switch to Overwolf is supposed to take place right at the release of Shadowlands, which would mean that nobody can upload updates for existing addons at the start. However, Overwolf and Twitch have since agreed and postponed the move from Curse to November 30th. Everything should be up and running again by December 3rd at the latest, before the release of the first raid.
Nonetheless, the discussion about Overwolf has led players to search for alternatives. WoWUp offers this alternative and is already popular with many players, while others are increasingly looking for it. Moreover, the operation is really easy.

Far Cry 6 has been postponed, but when exactly it will come and where the new release date lies was previously unknown. Now a leak in the Microsoft Store has mentioned a specific month for the release of the open-world shooter. But is that true?
What is the situation with the release date of Far Cry 6? It was actually supposed to be Ubisoft’s new Far Cry title releasing in February 2021. However, due to the Corona pandemic, some releases at Ubisoft have been thrown out of order. Therefore, Far Cry 6 will now be released in the fiscal year 2021-2022. This begins in April 2021, but the release of Far Cry 6 is a bit later.

This is the alleged release date: While a concrete date is desperately searched for everywhere, there is actually a precise date in the Microsoft Store. It says “Available from May 26, 2021”.
So it seems that the new installment of Far Cry will only be coming in about half a year, a considerable delay.
How likely is it that this is true? Since the Microsoft Store has already announced the upcoming Ubisoft adventure Fenix Rising with such a leak, it initially seemed that the release date for Far Cry 6 would also be correct.
However, according to our partner site GamePro, which inquired directly with Ubisoft, the Microsoft date is probably just a placeholder and not a concrete date. However, that does not mean that Far Cry 6 won’t be released sometime in mid-2021. Officially, the fiscal year runs until September, and hopefully the game will be released by then.
Where can I pre-order Far Cry 6? In addition to pre-ordering at the Microsoft Store, you can also pre-order Far Cry 6 from many other providers.
What is Far Cry 6 actually? Far Cry 6 is an open-world shooter set on a Caribbean island reminiscent of Cuba named Yara. There, the dictator Anton Castillo rules a police state. In addition, he is trying to teach his rather indifferent son Diego the craft of dictatorship.
In the game, you take on the role of the guerrilla recruit Dani Rojas, who you can choose to be either female or male. For the first time in the Far Cry series, your hero is fully voiced and is also shown from the outside in cutscenes. This has never happened before!
Far Cry 6 will be released on PC as well as for the next-gen consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for the first time.
The PlayStation 5 has recently been officially released in our country, and many PS5 fans are eagerly awaiting the new console. However, some have gotten one early. Here on MeinMMO, you can find out how the lucky owners reacted to the new Sony gaming console PS5. Enjoy reading!

In Destiny 2 you can now outsmart an old witch who only gives one of the most coveted Triumphs from the dungeons to hardcore solo players.
This Triumph is about: In the popular dungeons of Destiny 2, you can prove your strength as a Guardian and, if you wish, fight through the activity completely alone. This is anything but easy, as even in old dungeons the difficulty scales up.
For all those who really push through there is a special Triumph and on top of that an emblem. So everyone can see what a tough cookie you are.
In the Shattered Throne from Forsaken the corresponding Triumph is called “Lone Thing”.
According to Warmind.io, only 0.7% of all Guardians have achieved it. Players must go from start to end of the fight solo.
The associated emblem is called “The Eternal Return” and references the lore of the endless curse of the Dreaming City.
This is the emblem “The Eternal Return”
All for one – how to achieve the Solo Triumph as a team
That’s why it’s easier than ever: As several players report (via reddit), the coveted Triumph is no longer only available for solo completions. You can play the Shattered Throne normally with 3 Guardians and at the end after defeating the final boss Dûl Incaru, you get the Triumph (title image).
Make sure to check it off in the Triumphs tab and receive the emblem – we won’t tell anyone where you got it. If you’ve never been in the Shattered Throne, we recommend the trip anyway. So gather your strike team.
Keep in mind: Players in the community report that the drop was not guaranteed for them or that not the entire strike team received the Triumph on the first attempt. However, it apparently doesn’t matter who is the team leader.
In the dungeons await diverse tasks and impressive bosses
Why are dungeons so popular?
Dungeons are considered by many players to be the best content that Destiny 2 has to offer. They are basically mini-raids that you tackle with a strike team of up to 3 Guardians. Here you will encounter nasty bosses, tricky jumping passages, and puzzles.
But above all, players love the thick atmosphere. So far, there are 3 such dungeons that differ completely in setting:
The Shattered Throne feels like a nightmare fairy tale world where you climb the highest tower and try to break an ancient curse
The Pit of Heresy is like an orc fortress from The Lord of the Rings, leading you deep beneath the surface of the moon and housing a massive knight with a burning sword
The Prophecy plays with reality, with up and down as well as light and shadow – here the opposites rule
If you prefer to play current activities, the Season of the Hunt offers you the opportunity to become a big game hunter and lure monsters with bait.
