EA has just introduced the second Bundesliga POTM (Player of the Month) in FIFA 21. It is Robert Lewandowski. He will now receive an upgraded special card, and we will tell you how strong it is.
What is a POTM card? In FIFA 21, there are POTM cards (Player of the Month) once a month for various leagues. It started with Kramaric from TSG Hoffenheim, and now Robert Lewandowski has been awarded. He is the Bundesliga POTM for October.
This means he receives an upgraded special card in FUT 21, which can be unlocked through Squad Building Challenges (SBC).

This is how strong the card is: The new POTM card of Robert Lewandowski could, at first glance, also be another TOTW card of the Pole. Because the upgrades are rather limited. The new card is only one point stronger in the overall rating than his last Inform card from TOTW 2.
Is the Lewandowski POTM card worth it? Anyone who gets the new POTM card of Lewandowski will have the best Bundesliga striker in their team – no question about it. However, the improvements compared to his TOTW card are quite minimal:
Pace: 79 -> 80
Shooting: 92 -> 93
Passing: 80 -> 82
Dribbling: 87 -> 89
Defensive: 44 -> 45
Physical: 84 -> 85
Therefore, one should consider whether the slightly weaker TOTW card is the better purchase. This one is cheaper and also tradable, which means that you can sell it anytime on the FUT transfer market. POTM Lewandowski, however, is untradeable.
What does the card cost: Currently, the costs for the new POTM card are around 280,000 coins (via futbin), which is quite expensive. His only marginally worse TOTW card currently costs around 220,000 coins.
How to get the POTM Lewandowski card
How can you get the card? The new card is now available in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, and to get it into your team, you need to complete three SBC tasks. You exchange two 85-rated and one 86-rated teams.
Will you get the second Bundesliga POTM card? It is certainly a good addition to your Bundesliga team. However, if you play a Serie A team, then the new special card of Khedira is recommended.

Actually, the “City Spotlight” event was supposed to take place soon in Kyoto, Japan. Now, the team at Pokémon GO has decided to cancel the event – which hardly surprises the players.
What kind of event is this? On November 10, the “City Spotlight” event was announced for Pokémon GO. The plan: Trainers were to be sent on a kind of treasure hunt with their buddy Pokémon to very specific points in selected cities.
This was to include special research tasks and running-based gameplay – all in coordination with local health and safety guidelines, as emphasized in the announcement. Snapshots were part of the event plan, along with spinning and scanning PokéStops. There is a purchasable ticket, and special Pokémon are expected to be found, such as an Unown with the letter “C”.
However, this was overall an event that cannot really be played from home – which seems strange given the Corona pandemic. However, the event was supposed to take place in four cities, which until recently all had low Corona numbers:
Tainan (Taiwan)
Auckland (New Zealand)
Busan (South Korea)
Kyoto (Japan)
In Kyoto, however, the event will not take place. Japan has reported an increase in Covid-19 numbers in recent weeks, especially since the beginning of November (via World Health Organisation), which means the City Spotlight in Kyoto cannot be held.
The Japanese account reported the cancellation of the event on Twitter (via Twitter)
Already upon the announcement on November 10, the numbers in Japan had started to rise again. According to a report from “The Mainichi”, tourism in Japanese cities is currently struggling, and Kyoto is among the most visited cities in Japan (via Mainichi).
From this perspective, an event would have fit well: “As a city that is making efforts for safe and sustainable tourism, Kyoto welcomes the event. We want visitors to enjoy playing Pokémon GO while enjoying the beautiful autumn landscape of Kyoto,” is quoted from Kyoto’s mayor Daisaku Kadokawa.
Measures had been taken, but in the end, the cancellation stands.
What about the other cities? While the event in Kyoto is canceled, planning for its execution in Auckland, Tainan, and Busan is currently ongoing. The three countries Taiwan, South Korea, and New Zealand recently reported significantly lower Corona numbers, which is why executing the event here is likely still considered safer than in Kyoto. However, the numbers in South Korea have also recently shown a rising trend (via WHO)
This is how players react: Even the announcement of the event was viewed critically in the Pokémon GO subreddit, which is why the surprise over the cancellation is currently limited. An excerpt:
“It was not a great idea from the start,” comments a user (via reddit).
“Yeah, these events seemed a bit rash,” agrees another (via reddit).
“This should never have been a thing from the start…” comments another (via reddit).
At the same time, the rising numbers in South Korea are mentioned, and there are suggestions to simply postpone the event series. However, as of now, the events in the 3 remaining cities are set to proceed.
Pokémon GO has often been discussed in connection with the pandemic. Especially the rollback of some bonuses that were supposed to make playing from home easier was criticized. Recently, however, 2 of the bonuses returned.

Only a few days remain until the launch of WoW Shadowlands. We wanted to know if you are looking forward to the addon, and you quietly answered us.
This is what it was about: The release of WoW Shadowlands on November 24 is approaching, but there has been much criticism of the new addon in the comments under our articles and on Facebook.
We asked you how your anticipation for Shadowlands is. Are you even looking forward to it? Many of you responded.
These are the results: The survey ended today, on November 20, 2020. A total of 921 readers participated. Each could only cast one vote.
The question was “Are you looking forward to WoW Shadowlands?” The distribution of votes is as follows:
Yes: 62.87%
No: 18.89%
Undecided: 18.24%
The overwhelming majority of 62.87% answered clearly with “Yes”. Even though we often read dissatisfaction about Shadowlands and WoW in general in the comments, a large part of MeinMMO readers still seems to be looking forward to the new addon.
With 18.89%, the “No” answer is way behind, but it still represents nearly 1/5 of the participants who are not looking forward to Shadowlands, and 18.24% remain undecided. Some are critical of the announced content and prefer to wait and see what happens after the launch.
More information about WoW Shadowlands can be found in our articles:
These were the positive voices: Although the response option “Yes” is well ahead in our survey, the comments under the article are rather reserved to negative. Only a few of you have loudly expressed their anticipation on our site. This includes the reader Incursio:
I really look forward to it. The game is finally changing for the better (for me). I also find the pre-event great.
On our WoW page on Facebook, things looked a bit better. The comments there are also strongly mixed, but the positive voices are more represented.
And how! It’s nice to leisurely go through the story and then try raiding again since Cataclysm.
Generally, it seems that the MeinMMO readers who are really excited about Shadowlands keep their enthusiasm to themselves and vote “Yes” without comment.
Even though the majority of respondents are looking forward to Shadowlands, not everyone is
These were the negative voices: The skepticism and criticism were more pronounced compared to the anticipation. On one hand, there is still criticism of the contents of the new addon, and some users anticipate a lot of bugs, especially at the start.
For example, the Covenants are viewed with suspicion. There are concerns that it will be very difficult to balance them correctly and that players will be forced into certain Covenants:
Somehow, I’m also out of breath. The only thing I was looking forward to was Torghast. It just sounded too good. […] Also, the Maw looks just as terrible as Argus. And then there are the 4 factions next. Which is okay in itself, but apparently disadvantages players who do not join with the right class/spec combo.
On the other hand, a certain WoW fatigue is emerging from your comments, as well as negative experiences from previous addons. Players who were disappointed by Battle for Azeroth or Legion have either completely decided against Shadowlands or want to at least wait and see.
MeinMMO reader Zord is among them:
From my perspective, the experiences with BfA prevent any anticipation for Shadowlands. […] I will wait out the first few weeks, and when I am bored in January, I will decide based on the mood in the community whether I will give the Shadowlands a chance.
What about you? Did you expect such a result, or is it surprising?
GTA Online has now finally introduced its new heist “Cayo Perico,” which will take place on an island. This is the significant new location from Rockstar Games.
What happened? Today, on November 20, 2020, Rockstar Games officially presented the new heist that will enrich GTA Online starting in December.
This is now a whole new challenge waiting for you. Instead of saving the world from egomaniacs and robbing casinos, this time you will have to deal with an entire island.
What is it about? The island estate belongs to the most notorious drug dealer in the world. You, as the player, are tasked with finding a way to infiltrate the private island Cayo Perico. However, it is guarded by heavily armed security personnel.
The loot consists of artwork, gold, and drug money.
How many people do you play with? You can choose to play solo or with up to four players. This seems to be the first solo heist that GTA Online has unlocked for players since its release.
It is currently unclear how much the difficulty will adjust if you tackle the adventure completely alone.
For all heist fans, this is certainly good news, as it combines the often-desired solo content with the popular and lucrative heists in the online world.
You can now get a real impression of the new heist in the video.

When is the release of Cayo Perico? On December 15, 2020, it will be ready, and you can play the heist and the map expansion.
Keep in mind that these are not all the details you will receive about the new heist and the map expansion in GTA Online. Before the release, Rockstar Games will provide you with more information and introduce new details.
The biggest update of all time – How it has gone so far
An overview: In summer, the developers from Rockstar Games explained that the biggest update for GTA Online ever would be released in 2020.
They also teased a new location where players will gather.
After that, it was a bit quiet for a few weeks regarding the big update.
The casino in GTA Online
On November 12, suddenly construction work at the casino was seen in the game. Players were confused: Rockstar promised a new location. But the casino is not new.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a strong contender for the “Game of the Year 2020.” But how should one show that on Twitch without getting banned due to copyright violations? Cyberpunk has now found a solution: a clever streamer mode.
What is the problem? Playing music is currently risky on Twitch. Since May 2020, the music industry has sent “thousands of copyright infringement complaints every month,” as Twitch states. Twitch has no choice but to respond to these complaints, deleting clips and videos, warning streamers and banning them in the worst case.
Now Cyberpunk 2077 presents a solution to this dilemma: its own streamer mode.
Streamer mode replaces protected songs with others
This is the solution from Cyberpunk 2077: The communications director of CD Projekt Red UK, Hollie Bennett, recently explained the new streamer mode in a Twitch stream:
If you want to stream Cyberpunk 2077 or make a video about it, we want to introduce you to a new mode that allows you to disable certain copyrighted music pieces. We know that it can sometimes be problematic for content creators to use protected music.
With the new mode, you can disable a small number of selected tracks that could cause problems. They will be replaced with other songs: This helps you to avoid the issues.

This is how it is received: The solution is initially very well-received on reddit. Because a “Normal Streamer” mode, as used by FIFA 21, simply turns off the music completely. That’s a bit too dry. However, if the music is replaced appropriately, it seems that there are no complaints for now.
How good is Cyberpunk 2077 actually? The authors from GameStar were able to spend 15 hours with the new game as one of the few media outlets worldwide. Here is their exclusive review report on Cyberpunk 2077.
In general, however, people are also wondering on reddit why music in the stream is suddenly such a problem. Because for years it didn’t matter.
Twitch has come into the spotlight of the music industry in recent months:
Due to the Corona pandemic, many earning opportunities for musicians and rights holders have disappeared.
Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the most highly anticipated game of 2020. But recently some dark clouds have gathered over the game. There have been reports of harsh working conditions and a culture of overtime that raises concerns:
On Pokémon GO, the Community Day with Magmar begins on November 21. We provide you with an overview of the start time, Shiny Magmar, and the exclusive move.
During several hours, Magmar will be in the spotlight, and special bonuses will round off the event. Especially the numerous Shinies are a highlight.
Note that there is currently a risk of contracting the coronavirus. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying home as much as possible, keeping distance from others, and avoiding crowds.
All information about the Community Day in November 2020 – Start time, bonuses
What? Community Day with Magmar When? On Saturday, November 21, 2020, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time. Pokémon of the day: Magmar will appear more frequently in the wild Exclusive move: Thunderbolt Bonus: Distance to hatch eggs reduced to a quarter Bonus: Three-hour duration of incense Bonus: You can evolve Magmar up to 2 hours after the event to have Magbrant learn the move Thunderbolt Bonus: Magby will hatch from 2 km eggs that you get during the event
Since the beginning of the Corona pandemic, Community Days last for 6 hours, and you can enjoy them comfortably from home. For this, Niantic has also released appropriate bonuses. So you don’t have to go outside to play effectively.
What you can buy: Just like with Elektek, you can also buy a ticket for one euro this time, which gives you items worth much more. In addition, there is a special box available in the shop:
The Community Day box for Magmar includes a Premium Raid Pass, 3 Super Incubators, 3 Lucky Eggs, and 30 Ultra Balls. It costs 1280 coins.
The 1€-ticket is already available in the shop and is named “No Problem for Magmar”
Make these preparations: Collect items beforehand, as this will allow you to play comfortably from home or have no problems even when out and about. We recommend a minimum of 300 balls.
Use these tips while playing: Anyone wanting to catch Pokémon quickly should use the catch trick. This skips the catch animations and makes you much faster.
If you’re catching particularly many Pokémon, use a Star Piece. This will give you more Stardust per Pokémon and is worth it. You can accumulate Stardust, to later power up your Pokémon to level 50.
Finally, be sure to use an incense. This item is currently very strong and attracts a lot of Magmar.
What does the exclusive move bring? If you evolve a Magmar into Magbrant by 7:00 PM on November 21, it will learn the move Thunderbolt.
This move is interesting for PvP fans. It will make it more versatile in the league and can surprise some opponents. However, it won’t be a massive improvement for Magbrant, as the monster doesn’t play a significant role in the PvP league anyway.
For raids or gym battles, this move brings nothing, as Magbrant isn’t a strong attacker and has no use for Electric-type moves.
Shiny Magby, Magmar, and Magbrant
Are there Shinies? Yes, you can catch Shiny Magmar in the wild during Community Day and get Shiny Magby from 2 km eggs. We show you the shiny versions:
What is the Shiny chance? During Community Day, you generally have a Shiny chance of 1 in 25. So it should be the same for Magmar. You have the best chances.
During Community Day with Elektek, the chance for Shiny Elekid was also increased. So you can expect that the chances for Shiny Magby from eggs are also increased.
What do you think about the 2nd Community Day in November? Too many events or just great? If you can’t relate to this, you can look forward to the big GO Beyond update, which will be rolled out in December:
The head of World of Warcraft, Ion Hazzikostas, explains how the developers deal with numbers. And why highly played content is not necessarily popular.
In recent days, there have been a number of interviews with the developers of World of Warcraft. During a group interview, the Game Director Ion Hazzikostas spoke about an exciting topic. It was about Blizzard’s financial quarterly reports and what impact they have on the development of WoW. The answer was quite interesting and shows that the developers are very well aware of what this data means – and what it does not.
Monthly users are just a number: First, it’s about how developers interpret the figures from the quarterly “Earnings Call”. After all, there is a recurring opinion among players that developers want to please shareholders and therefore design a game such that players are doomed to spend as many hours in it as possible. However, Hazzikostas explains:
I understand that there is the opinion that people hear a financial report, perceive the numbers regarding player engagement, and then think that this drives us as developers. These numbers are shared with the investment community because they are a way to make comparisons between several games and franchises.
How do you arrive at a single number that encompasses the success of Candy Crush, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch? You don’t; you boil it down to playtime or daily active users.
Ion Hazzikostas, the Game Director of World of Warcraft.
Developers want what players want: Hazzikostas further elaborates that Blizzard’s financial interests align with those of the players. Because only those who create a fun game can motivate people to spend money on it:
At the end of the day, our financial interests and the interests of the players are aligned. We want to create a game that is fun to play. We want to create a game that we look forward to when we log in, and yes, that means we are creating a game that you think is worth paying a monthly subscription for.
Moreover, game developers are immensely pleased with praise and satisfaction from the players. There is nothing more beautiful for them than satisfied players who enjoy the game:
For all game developers, it feels best when you look at social media, watch streams, read Reddit, or talk to friends and receive praise and see that people are enjoying what we’ve poured our hearts into.
Hearing that someone did the same thing for eight hours and hated it the whole time… that is in no way rewarding. And it’s also not financially rewarding for the company.
Playtime does not mean fun: The developers are also aware that pure playtime is not an indicator of whether an activity in the game is fun. Just because players play something particularly intensively does not necessarily mean that it brings them joy. It could simply be the most efficient method to achieve a specific goal in the game or is seen as necessary to keep up.
We look at such numbers, but they are more indicators of what people spend their time on. If people log in less frequently and play less, it could be a sign that there is nothing for them to do and that they are receiving less value for their subscription. But it does not mean that players necessarily love something they invest all their time in.
Island expeditions were not very popular. Many players did not like them.
This is the “Mechanar Problem”: That numbers are not always a good indicator of whether a mechanic in the game is popular is also demonstrated by what Hazzikostas calls the Mechanar Problem:
We have been joking for years about what we call the ‘Mechanar Problem’. Back then in The Burning Crusade, [the Mechanar] was the most popular dungeon in the game. If we had followed the pure numbers, we should have made every dungeon like the Mechanar.
It was the shortest and easiest dungeon and had the best rate of tokens per hour, which is why everyone played it. But just because people ran island expeditions for weeks to grind artifact power doesn’t tell us that island expeditions were a success. We know that there is a lot of room for improvement here.
Back then in The Burning Crusade, visiting heroic dungeons still awarded tokens and badges that players could use to buy equipment. The fastest way to get these badges was the Mechanar, which is why many only played that dungeon. However, this does not necessarily mean that the Mechanar was particularly good or fun, but simply particularly efficient at achieving a specific goal.
A game should be fun: Hazzikostas concludes the response with a statement that may give some players hope:
At the end of the day, we want to create a game that brings fun and joy with a variety of activities for all play styles that players find fulfilling.
Whether this has been successful with Shadowlands will be discovered by the players in a few days, as the journey to the Shadowlands begins on November 24.

The Swedish CS:GO professional Robin “Flusha” Rönnquist got into a lot of trouble with the law. Because he did not declare over 100,000 dollars in prize money, he was even threatened with prison.
Who is it about? Flusha is a top pro gamer from the Counter-Strike scene. He achieved numerous victories for his eSports team Fnatic. Flusha was particularly powerful in 2015. He won at ESL One Katowice and ESL One Cologne. He brought his team nearly one million US dollars in prize money through his successes, of which he was entitled to a share. And that’s where the problems began for the 27-year-old CS:GO professional.
Counter-Strike professional convicted of tax evasion
What happened? According to Dexerto, Flusha received around 1.04 million Swedish Krona in 2015, which is about 120,000 US dollars, as his share of the prize money. However, the young professional forgot that in Sweden, prize money counts as income and is therefore subject to income tax. This tax is 57 percent on income over 675,700 Krona.
Fnatic at the award ceremony in 2015 in Cologne.
However, Flusha did not declare the money, and eventually, the matter came to light. Therefore, charges of tax evasion were filed. Flusha stated that he acted out of ignorance and without malicious intent. It was a failure on his part, and he did not intend to evade taxes.
How did the case turn out? Flusha was convicted of tax evasion and could have faced four months in prison at worst. However, the verdict was more lenient in the end. Flusha must:
repay the owed tax amount plus a fine of approximately 23,300 dollars
perform 120 hours of community service
donate about 100 dollars to a fund for victims of crime
Flusha claims he acted without malicious intent, but these professionals do not:
Flusha is not the only eSports professional who wins in the game but loses against the tax office. The winner of the 2019 Fortnite World Cup was also severely taxed by the tax office of New York City because he won large amounts of prize money in that city. The winner was thus stripped of more than half of his 3 million dollars in prize money.

In our level guide for season 22 in Diablo 3, we show you how to quickly reach the max level 70. This is a form of speed leveling. MeinMMO shows you the steps with and without Challenge Rift.
What does this guide show you? Here, we show you how to quickly level your new seasonal character to the max level 70 in season 22 of Diablo 3.
With our guide, we are primarily addressing experienced Diablo 3 players who have already participated in one or more seasons. Complete beginners who are just starting with this hack-and-slash should take their time leveling and not rush.
In the last seasons, we had good experiences with the leveling method that includes the challenge portal. Combined with Kanai’s Cube, you will receive strong bonuses early on.
We will introduce you to the method with and without the challenge portal here. If you have already completed your portal this week or just don’t feel like it, then skip the first part and read after the section about the challenge rift.
This is how it starts: After the start of season 22 in Diablo 3, create a seasonal hero. Enter the game with this character and then exit back to the main menu immediately.
Now open the game settings and select the challenge portal on the left. It is very important that you have selected your seasonal hero before entering the portal.
Note: This only works if you have already completed a Greater Nephalem Portal in Diablo 3. If you haven’t done that with your account yet, skip this step.
What does it bring? The great reward for the challenge rift helps you get a good start to the new season. You will receive the following for successfully completing the portal:
Bounty materials (15 each)
35 Breath of Death
475 blood shards
Crafting materials
and additionally 4.6 million gold
This is how it goes after the portal: The first part of the preparation is complete. Now it’s about implementing this advantage in the game.
Now go back to the game menu and select adventure mode on the difficulty “Master”
Once in the game, open the reward pouch you received for successfully completing the challenge portal – will be displayed in the interface
Now grab the weapon of the Templar or another companion – it is always stronger than the starter weapon of your class
Optional: Complete a boss bounty now. Especially suitable are Maghda, Zoltun Kull, Belial or the Skeleton King. If one of these bosses has a bounty, you should complete it. Strong items are waiting for you
Then head to Act 3 to unlock Kanai’s Cube. This is an important step to effectively utilize the challenge portal.
Obtain Legendary Item
After unlocking Kanai’s Cube, visit the town and go to your blacksmith. Fully upgrade him; you already have the materials for that. Now, depending on your class, craft a yellow armor or yellow weapon for level 70 at the blacksmith. In the table below, you can see what is worthwhile for which class.
Kanai’s Cube helps you with this leveling method
Thanks to your preparations with the challenge portal, you can now craft legendary items for your class. The yellow item from the blacksmith can be upgraded to a legendary item using a recipe in Kanai’s Cube. You can then extract the legendary power and assign it passively to one of the slots.
This has a huge impact on your strength even at early levels.
Class
Blood Shards
Cube Upgrade
Barbarian
Bracers (lvl 1)
Powerful 1H Weapon – 6/8 Powerful 2H Weapon – 3/6
Crusader
Shield / Bracers (lvl 1)
2H Mace – 6/8 1H Mace – 4/7
Demon Hunter
Bracers (lvl 1)
Dagger – 2/2
Monk
Shoes / Bracers (lvl 1)
Fist Weapon – 8/12 Dao – 4/8
Necromancer
Gloves (lvl 1) – Rings = risky
2H Scythe – 4/4
Witch Doctor
Mojo (lvl 1), Voodoo Mask (lvl 34)
Ceremonial Knife – 8/12
Wizard
Source (lvl 33) – Rings (lvl 28) = risky
1H Wand – 6/10
Explanation for the numbers: The Witch Doctor has 12 Ceremonial Knives with an affix that can be extracted, 8 of them are worth it. Therefore 8 /12
Depending on your chosen class, there are specific items at level 1 that you can trade with Kadala in town. You have received blood shards from the reward pouch. The level at which certain items drop for you can be found on D3planner.com.
Leveling to 70 – Let’s get started
With a passive legendary power, you are now better equipped for leveling.
Level 1 – 24
You decide: Depending on your preferred playstyle, you can either level up with massacre bonuses in the Halls of Agony from levels 1-3 or clear Nephalem portals and complete them.
Solo players should advance quickly with massacre bonuses. Group players can do this until level 30, but should then switch to regular Nephalem portals, as progressing as a group is usually faster.
With these methods, you will level up to level 24.
Every 8-10 levels, visit your blacksmith and try to craft a stronger weapon
Regularly visit the merchants in town. They might sell you rings or amulets that offer a “+ damage” affix. These are great for leveling
If you loot a head item with a socket, it’s best to insert a red gem there, which will grant you more experience points. If you have weapons with sockets, red gems are also suitable here. They provide more damage during the leveling phase.
During your gameplay phase, you should continually adjust the difficulty. Trash mobs should be easily taken down with 1-3 hits. If everything is almost a one-hit for you, then increase the difficulty. If you need significantly longer, set the game to an easier difficulty.
Level 24 – 40
From now on, you will level best with Nephalem portals.
Complete these as quickly as possible
Tip for groups: Assign a player who, after the death of the rift boss, will close the portal directly. In the remaining 30 seconds until closure, they will return to the group and everyone will keep killing mobs in the portal together.
Level 40 – 70
After reaching level 40, teleport to the town and visit the mystic. Fully train her now.
Now craft a yellow 2H weapon for level 70 at the blacksmith Make as many of these as necessary until one has a %-affix (% chance to freeze, stun, etc.)
Did you get such a weapon? No? Then keep going, farm materials, and try again. Yes? Then go to the mystic and roll the other secondary bonus (not the one with the %). You want to obtain a level reduction that comes as close to 30 levels as possible
Once you can equip these weapons, put them on and increase the difficulty significantly. Ideally, you should be using a level 70 weapon at level 40. Then set it to Torment 6 and gradually decrease if it’s still too difficult.
With the high damage output of the level 70 weapon, you should progress well now.
Leveling to 70: From now on, you can level well through Nephalem portals. Whether with or without a level 70 weapon is the right path now. With a level 70 weapon, ideally, at a high torment level – without a level 70 weapon, then at a difficulty where you can still quickly complete the portal.
Grind the portals until level 70.
What comes next after 70?
Which build you play now and how you approach the season journey depends entirely on you. As a reward for the season journey, you will receive starter sets in season 22, which play an important role in the Greater Nephalem portals.
Wild Rift is the mobile version of the popular game League of Legends and will soon launch its beta in Europe. In this article, we summarize all the information about gameplay, release, and champions.
What is Wild Rift?
League of Legends: Wild Rift is the mobile version of the popular MOBA. It was announced in October 2019 and is expected to start its beta in Germany later in 2020. Additionally, Wild Rift is planned to be released on consoles later.
How does Wild Rift differ from classic LoL?
– In Wild Rift, you get an adapted twin-stick control scheme that allows you to control characters on touchscreens. – At the beginning, there will be an adapted champion pool – The game features slightly adapted graphics and new animations – A match is expected to last between 10 and 20 minutes, making it shorter than in classic LoL – We reveal more similarities and differences in our hands-on report.
Yes, like LoL itself, Wild Rift will be free and will use a shop where champions and skins are sold.
Where can I download Wild Rift?
You can download the new game from the Google Play Store or from the Apple App Store but only after the release. Currently, you can only pre-register.
What are the system requirements?
For Android, you need at least: 1.5 GB RAM A Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor An Adreno 306 GPU
For iOS, you need: An iPhone 6 or newer
Can I play Wild Rift now via VPN?
For a while, it was possible to play via VPN from our region. However, Riot announced in a new blog post in November that they will now block VPN access from regions not approved for testing.
What about the console release?
In the original announcement for Wild Rift it was mentioned that console versions will launch shortly after the mobile release. No recent information is available on this.
MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has already taken a closer look at Wild Rift before its release during a hands-on event. His experiences are summarized here:
What game modes does Wild Rift offer? As in League of Legends itself, Wild Rift revolves around the map “Summoner’s Rift”. There are different modes:
Normal – Each player picks the champion they like
Ranked – Ranked matches where you register for a fixed position
Co-op vs. AI – Play against bots
Custom – Own lobbies where you can play with friends or other players.
Additionally, Wild Rift offers a training mode where you can test different champions and items. In there, cooldowns can also be removed and other adjustments can be made to experiment freely.

How does Ranked work? To participate in ranked matches, you must first reach Level 10 in Wild Rift. However, there is no specific number of champions required, unlike in the PC game.
The mobile version also does not use League Points (LP). Instead, you progress through a win/loss counter. The ranks are:
Iron
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Emerald
Diamond
Master
Grandmaster
Challenger
You can also play ranked with your friends, optionally with 2, 3, or 5 players. However, there is no distinction between solo/duo/flex queues.
A small selection of champions available in Wild Rift.
What champions does LoL Wild Rift have? Just like in LoL itself, there are a certain number of champions that are available for free. However, those who want access to all 47 champions must unlock them, either using in-game or real money currency.
As of now (November 20), you can access the following champions:
Ahri

Are there any other features? Unlike in League of Legends, there are daily login rewards in Wild Rift. These require you to complete at least one game per day within a specified time frame.
Through the login rewards, you can unlock Blue Essences, stickers, and even champions. In a video by YouTuber Healthcliff Gaming, Miss Fortune can be seen as a reward for Day 3 and the Cowgirl skin on Day 8:
New champions and many balance adjustments after beta launch
How do the beta and release of Wild Rift work? In July 2020, the first regions in Asia were invited to test Wild Rift. The tests there were immediately made public.
Over time, new regions were invited to the tests, including South Korea, Japan, and Indonesia. On December 10, we will join from Europe along with Russia and Turkey.
Finally, Wild Rift will be unlocked for North America. This is expected to happen in Spring 2021.
What has happened since the beta launch?
The new champion Lee Sin was added with Patch 1.0
There have been several balance patches to make the game and champions more balanced. There is expected to be a patch every two weeks, just like in LoL itself.
Riot has explained in several blog posts how difficult the game’s balancing is because players are already differently experienced.
A fun cinematic trailer has been released, which we have embedded for you:

When will the actual release of Wild Rift take place? When the beta ends and Wild Rift officially launches is currently unknown. However, it is expected to happen no sooner than a few weeks after the beta launch in North America. 2021 seems realistic based on the current status of the game.
How Wild Rift is received
In some regions of the world, LoL: Wild Rift is already very popular. As the Wild Rift News Twitter account reported, the game has achieved top rankings in download charts in several countries, including Myanmar, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
Even here in Germany, you can already check ratings from the App Store. As of November 20, the game has 4/5 stars with 14,300 ratings. However, there are criticisms regarding technical issues, disconnects, and long loading screens.
However, it should be noted that Wild Rift is still in beta.

Until you can download Fortnite again via the App Store on iOS, it will probably take until 2021.However, there will soon be a way for you to play on your iOS device again with GeForce Now. We will show you what you need to know.
However, Epic now seems to have found a way to bring Fortnite back to iOS devices.
Fortnite on iOS, thanks to GeForce Now
What is GeForce Now anyway? GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service, similar to Google Stadia or Shadow. The service requires a fast internet connection, so you can play without expensive hardware. You have to stream your own game library; there is no store like Stadia.
You can use the service for free for one hour or pay a subscription for €5.49. Then you can play for a maximum of 6 hours at a time.
You can find all information about GeForce Now here:
This is how it should work for Fortnite: GeForce Now is now available on iOS devices as a web app. It is intended to serve as a cloud service for other platforms, allowing you to play your already purchased games on your desired device.
To do this, simply open the website: play.geforcenow.com via Safari on your iOS device and follow the steps provided on the page. This will allow you to start GeForce Now directly from the home screen.
After that, you can link your existing Epic account and continue playing Fortnite with your usual progress.
You can install GeForce Now on your home screen here
Here is what else you should know: If you want to use this method, there are a few things you should be aware of:
Fortnite will not be available immediately at the launch of the web app on Thursday, November 19
A controller is required for playing (no touch version available yet)
If you want unlimited playtime, a founder subscription for €5.49 per month is needed
As already mentioned, Fortnite is not available yet, as GeForce Now is working with Epic to set up a touch version of Fortnite so you are not reliant on a controller.
Together with the team from Epic Games, we are working on a touch version of Fortnite, which is causing a delay in the availability of the game. (…) Members will soon be able to look for Fortnite on their iOS device.
As soon as Fortnite is available on the web app, we will create a guide here on MeinMMO, in which we will explain step-by-step how to play Fortnite with GeForce Now on your iOS device.
This seems to be the only way for iOS players to soon access Fortnite. The dispute between Apple and Epic seems to take a while longer. The CEO of Epic Games compared the dispute to the civil rights movement and was heavily criticized for it. This will not help speed up the decision.

The PlayStation 5 is available in Germany and you can also upgrade Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War from PS4 to PS5. MeinMMO shows you what you need to pay attention to and all the versions that are possible.
This is how Cold War looks on PS5: If you have been diligently playing the new Call of Duty: Cold War on PS4, you can now comfortably switch to PS5.
You can even partially do this with an update, which you need to download on PS5. However, to avoid any issues during the transfer, we show you all the available options here.
CoD Cold War – Transferring from PS4 to PS5
This is how the transfer works: It depends on which version you purchased on PS4. Whether digital or on CD – Cold War can be transferred. Here we provide an overview of all versions and the transfer methods:
Digital Standard Edition:
If you have this PS4 version, you do not necessarily need a paid update on PS5. Thanks to backward compatibility, you can simply continue playing on PS5 – but without next-gen features.
For an additional fee, you can also purchase a next-gen update – then you can use the digital version with all the features that PS5 has to offer.
Standard Edition on CD:
This version can also be played on PS5 without issues – however, your PS5 needs a drive for it, and next-gen features are not available.
For an extra fee, you can also apply the next-gen update here – keep in mind that to play, the PS4 disc must be in the drive, even though you are playing the PS5 version.
Digital Cross-Gen Edition:
Here, you can switch platforms without any issues. On PS5, you will also have the next-gen features available.
Cross-Gen Edition on CD:
Just like the digital edition, you can play cross-platform here. The next-gen features are also available on PS5. However, you also need a PS5 with a drive and the PS4 disc to play.
Ultimate Edition:
The same applies as with the Cross-Gen Edition. Without a paid update, you can play on PS5 and use the next-gen features.
Do I need to upgrade my PS4 version? No, you don’t have to spend money to play your PS4 version on PS5. However, you will need to download Cold War again on PS5 or install it via CD.
If you don’t want to invest more money, you can just continue playing the PS4 version on PS5. However, you also won’t be utilizing the features that PS5 offers.
If you want the full next-gen experience, you should install the paid update. Then you will basically be playing the PS5 version.
You can easily upgrade Cold War from PS4 to PS5.
This is how you can upgrade the PS4 version: It’s quite easy. We will show you the individual steps for it:
Select Cold War in your library
Now go to the head with the 3 dots
There you can then choose whether you want to download the PS4 or PS5 version
This is especially frustrating if you already own the Cross-Gen Edition and can upgrade to the PS5 version for free. So make sure you select the correct version.
In Destiny 2, the new DLC brings a lack of loot. Developer Bungie is now beginning to combat this. Players should feel the first effects as early as next week – but is that enough?
This is currently the main problem: On November 10, Destiny 2 began Year 4 and received its major annual expansion with Beyond Light. Moreover, the new Season 12, the Season of the Hunt, has also started.
However, players of the action MMO are primarily lacking one thing – namely loot.
Many players suspected that this could lead to problems and are now quite angry about the realization. The Destiny developer has promised improvements, and we will see the beginning of that as early as next week.
The first steps in the fight against loot poverty begin
Community Manager Dylan “dmg04” Gaffner and Destiny head Luke Smith have already commented on the loot issues. They clarify that Bungie is working on the problem, but that they are in the middle of a transition phase and plan to make larger changes season by season.
This is happening next week: On November 24, a new update for Destiny 2 will be released: the hotfix 3.0.0.4. Bungie has already previewed the content, which will bring the first changes to weapon variety.
All legendary weapons going into retirement at the end of Season 12 (infusion cap) will disappear from the loot pool
The legendary arsenal of weapons from Season of Arrival will return – this applies to the season pass weapons and the updated planetary weapons from Season 11
The newer an item is, the more likely it is to drop as a reward
A selection of Seraph weapons
The presented changes affect the world loot pool. These are all rewards that you receive, for example, from engrams or directly upon completing activities.
How should the loot changes be judged?
Well, as Bungie itself says, these are initial, smaller changes. They will certainly not silence the main critics.
Even though there are now newer and, above all, a few more weapons to loot in the world, they are still not new firearms. Furthermore, it is questionable for many why there are items in the loot pool that are set to expire at the end of Season 12.
It is very encouraging that Bungie has significantly increased their update and fix frequency. Whereas Guardians used to wait months for an adjustment, these now come within days. Even if some Stasis Warlocks might not be too happy about it: Destiny 2 nerfs new Stasis skills – How hard it hits your favorite class
These weapons are worth it: However, the added guns are definitely noteworthy and are must-haves, especially for returners or newcomers:
The Seraph shotgun and the Seraph machine gun are absolute top weapons – and visually, these guns are eye-catchers
It is also worth noting that these weapons can create Warmind Cells – and since Season 12, Guardians have a specific mod slot for that on all armor (including Exotics)
If Bungie makes popular weapons like the Fallen Guillotine or other guns from Season 11 accessible again, it can’t be wrong – after all, they wanted to reduce the FOMO aspect
What do you think? Are you happy with the quick response and do you believe that Bungie will continue to work on it in the future? Or are the changes just a drop in the bucket?
The PlayStation 5 has now also launched here in Germany. However, the launch went completely differently for players and interested parties, some didn’t experience it at all. And we at MeinMMO want to know: How was the PS5 launch day for you? Pure fun, frustration, or something in between?
In the USA and a few other countries like Canada, Mexico, or Japan, the PS5 was already available a week earlier, on November 12.
How the launch of the PlayStation 5 went
This is how many started their launch day: For most players and interested parties, the official launch in Germany probably began similarly – with waiting. Waiting for the delivery service. Waiting for new ordering options. Yet in the end, the launch day could hardly have turned out more differently for many.
Happy pre-order customers who finally received their PS5 on the 19th could now start their next-gen experience and finally try out the new console themselves – whether with one or another launch title or their favorite games from the PS4 through the backward compatibility feature. And according to early reactions, the PlayStation 5 is generally well-received by its proud owners – even if there were some isolated issues here and there.
Some are still worried about their seemingly secured PS5
Other players are still anxious. This even includes some pre-order customers from the first two waves, where the delivery date changed on launch day or the in-store pickup did not work out. Many might have imagined the start of the PS5 differently.
There was also some anger and frustration during the PS5 launch
Not everyone has a PS5 yet – many are frustrated and complaining
Others are not even worrying about whether they will receive their PS5 on time, but whether there will even be one for them this year.
Because the 3rd wave also went very chaotically. And all in all, after now 3 waves, not every buyer willing to purchase has been able to secure a PS5, even those who would like one. Not even for the launch, but generally. You can find some user comments about the course of the 3rd wave here:
In the tier list, we show you the best classes, builds, and gear for Season 22 in Diablo 3. New sets for the classes and changes from Patch 2.6.10 will be taken into account.
What happens in Diablo 3? The start date for Season 22 in Diablo 3 is Friday, November 20, 2020. All players who create a seasonal character will start at “zero”. Such a character begins at level 1. Without Paragon points, without gold, and only with the starting gear.
In Season 22, you can expect some cosmetic rewards again. Among them is the companion Deckard Cain as a book. What it looks like and what else you need to know about the new season of the D3 journey can be found in our overview: Everything you need to know about Season 22 in Diablo 3.
What makes Season 22 special? You can expect two important changes as seasonal bonuses:
Your characters summon shadow clones when triggering pylons and shrines
Who creates this tier list? For this article, we compared tier lists from the biggest Diablo 3 streamers, experts, and YouTubers. Among them are Rhykker (YouTube), Bluddshed (YouTube), and Raxxanterax (YouTube).
We base our tier list on Rhykker’s. He and other major Diablo streamers now use maxroll.gg to share their builds.
We embed the graphic of his tier list for Season 22 here. Throughout the article and on the following pages, you can find links to the current top 3 builds for each class.
What do the ratings in the tier list mean? In the categories S to F, builds are ranked according to their potential. It concerns which build has the best chances of reaching the highest level in Greater Nephalem Rifts.
Builds in category “S” are considered the strongest of the season. Those in category “F” are weaker.
However, you should only use this as a rough guideline. Ultimately, much depends on your Paragon points, and every build has the chance to reach the highest Nephalem Rifts with enough Paragon power.
With all these builds, you can easily conquer Greater Rifts of level 70. You need this milestone to unlock the ancient items. They are among the strongest items in Diablo 3.
You will learn this here: On this page and the next, we will introduce you to the three builds with the highest potential for each class. If you click on the name of a build, you will be redirected to the corresponding websites that show you all items, skills, and gems needed for that build.
LoN and LoD are abbreviations for the legacy bonuses. These are obtained through a gem or a ring set.
A-Tier/S-Tier – Waste Whirlrend (via maxroll.gg) – Depending on the tier list, you will find this build in the S or A tier. In recent seasons, the Whirlrend Barbarian has shown its strengths in speed farming and pushing Greater Rifts. A good all-rounder.
B-Tier – Savage Frenzy (via maxroll.gg) – This is the starter set that you receive through Haedrig’s gift. It is a solid build for your Greater Rifts. If you want, you can stick with this build or upgrade to the Whirlwind build from the S-Tier.
B-Tier – Mote Leapquake (via maxroll.gg) – This build received a buff from Patch 2.6.10 and climbed up the tier list. If you enjoy the play style, you can stick with this build. However, the starter set is significantly stronger.
On the next page, you will see the three best builds of the Demon Hunter in Season 22 of Diablo 3.

The PlayStation 5 could be pre-ordered briefly on the release day at selected retailers in the so-called 3rd wave. However, once again, it ended up being extremely chaotic, and many fans still got nothing.
What were the pre-order waves all about? The PlayStation 5 is in high demand, and both the first pre-orders and the 2nd wave shortly thereafter turned into a disaster. Owing to chaotic conditions, the servers were overloaded, orders were possible too early, or were not accepted at all. Other fans were assured a console only to later find out that due to a system error, many more orders were confirmed than could actually be delivered.
Those who hoped that the 3rd wave scheduled for 1:00 PM on the release day would run more smoothly were sorely disappointed.
This is how the 3rd wave of pre-orders went
While the lucky pre-orderers who had been assured a console in the previous waves received their console by mail or in-store pickup on November 19, 2020, there was still hope for PS5 fans who did not yet have one with the 3rd wave that same day.
Amazon, Otto, Medimax, and GameStop were among those offering a small allocation of PS5 for pre-order on the release day. However, it went horribly wrong again.
Due to the massive rush to the servers, even the shipping giant Amazon was hopelessly overwhelmed, and many users suddenly got booted from the system in the middle of the ordering process. In the end, they were left with empty shopping carts and no console.
Customers are frustrated
This is how fans are reacting: Disappointed fans vent their frustration and anger on Twitter.

Other users take it with humor. Since when searching for the PS5 on November 19 a system error only connected users to the controller, User Finn created this meme:
However, some users are also happy that Amazon at least offered consoles. According to User Yves, MediaMarkt couldn’t even manage to deliver the pre-ordered devices:

Profiteers from the console scarcity are meanwhile unscrupulous profiteers on eBay and Co. There, once again, exorbitant prices of up to 2,500 euros for the PS5 are being charged. One can only hope that no one is so desperate as to support such business practices and buys the PlayStation 5 from such profiteers.

Sami Khedira has a strong Flashback card in FIFA 21. It looks expensive at first glance, but the stats of the card make the SBC worthwhile.
This is the Khedira card: Normally, Sami Khedira is not a particularly popular card in Ultimate Team. The midfielder has only a pace value of 45 on his Gold card, which significantly slows him down. Accordingly, the normal card is only priced at 750 coins on the transfer market.
However, the new Flashback card is quite different. An upgrade of 30 (!) points in speed and further strong improvements in the other values suddenly make Khedira one of the most useful midfielders in the entire game.
The new Khedira card impresses in all areas
You can see this when looking at the overview of all players in the central midfield position. When ordered by total in-game stats, Khedira ranks alongside players like the Inform card of Bruno Fernandes (89) or icons like Gerrard, Seedorf, or Vieira.
Of course, the legends have the advantage of their extensive link possibilities, but Khedira is also versatile. As a German player in Serie A, he fits into all players of the Italian league – which should please everyone who felt neglected by special cards here.
But Khedira also fits very well into Bundesliga teams or Premier League squads that utilize players like Havertz or Werner. In short: The SBC provides a really strong, versatile midfielder.
FIFA 21: What does the Khedira solution cost?
What does the SBC cost? At futbin, the solution for the Khedira SBC is currently priced at about 150,000 coins if you need to buy all cards new. At first glance, this seems like a lot – but the Khedira card is significantly cheaper with its strong values compared to other cards in that performance range.
Therefore, one can proceed with good conscience. However, keep in mind that the card is not tradeable and is not suitable for trading. It must fit into your team.
Possible Khedira solutions: For the SBC, you need to complete two partial SBCs:
First, you need an 83-rated team with a Real Madrid player, one from Juventus (Piemonte Calcio), and a TOTW player. The chemistry is at 75.
Secondly, you need an 86-rated team with a German player and a chemistry of 70. This is the more expensive SBC.
In the community, there are already some solutions to the SBC. Here you will find two suggestions that work. You will find the formations here as well as a list of players. In parentheses, you will see the position they usually occupy – they do not necessarily have to be in that position for the SBC. Example: Bürki is actually a goalkeeper but is used as RB in the SBC.
SBC solution “Past and Present”
A possible solution for the first SBC (via futbin)
These are just two suggestions from the community; the SBCs can also be solved differently. Check which players you already have in your club that you can use for the challenges. This way, you do not need to buy all the necessary cards on the transfer market.
The new maximum level 50 is currently being tested in Australia for trainers of Pokémon GO. Especially the XP requirement is a shock for many players.
This is currently being tested: A few days ago, Niantic announced level 50 and some trainers can already reach the new maximum level. However, the tests are not being conducted in Germany, but in Australia.
Some trainers are now reporting on their experiences, and data miners have also found information about the new maximum level. The XP amount required for level 50 stands out in particular.
You need this much XP: You need a total of 176 million XP to reach level 50. For comparison: You only need a total of 20 million XP for level 40.
The increase is enormous. The data miners of “Pokeminers” have found this amount of XP for level 50 in the code and shown it here:

What does this mean for level 50? Even though there are only 10 additional levels, the way there is incredibly long. Especially for players who have just reached level 40.
You need to have reached level 40 almost 9 times to get to level 50. Additionally, there are tasks from each level that you need to complete. Comparing the requirements here, level 40 was almost child’s play compared to level 50.
This is how it works with XL candies: Not only the requirements for level 50 are hot but also the XL candies. You need them to level up Pokémon from level 40 and bring them to level 50. Normal candies can no longer be used.
You need 296 XL candies to push a Pokémon from level 40 to 50. Additionally, about 250,000 Stardust per Pokémon is required. If you want to level up all your monsters that are already at level 40, you should already start collecting Stardust diligently.
Here you can see the requirements for a power-up to level 49. Source: reddit
How do you get XL candies? In Australia, trainers can currently convert 100 normal candies into one XL candy. You would need 29,600 normal candies to obtain enough XL candies to push a Pokémon to level 50.
But don’t worry, there are also other ways to get XL candies:
Eggs yield XL candies – players report over 20 XL candies for a 10-kilometer egg, plus normal candies
Raids reportedly yield one XL candy for a Pokémon
Sometimes sending or trading Pokémon also gives one XL candy
Catching Pokémon in the wild sometimes gives XL candies
You don’t have to scrape together all your candy supplies to level up a Pokémon. However, you first need to earn the XL candies in the same ways you get normal candies and cannot push a Pokémon directly to level 50.
You should keep this in mind: So far, this is all just tests that Niantic is conducting. They are paying attention to player feedback and may make adjustments if necessary. So keep in mind that all this data may not be final.
What do you think of the new requirements for level 50? Are the challenges too great or are you looking forward to it?
On November 19, the PS5 was released in Germany, and with it came a 3rd wave of pre-orders. This again happened chaotically and left many interested buyers disappointed. However, for some who were able to snag a console at Otto, there was bad news this morning.
In addition to this user, dozens of other angry customers are currently reporting on Twitter and Facebook. The user @Mike48747365 even says that he would have preferred not to have received any pre-order at all than to have anticipation and then be canceled afterward.
Many are also angry because they had to make a deposit of 150 euros directly. However, according to Otto, the money is supposed to be refunded “in the coming days” (via Twitter).
What is behind the cancellation? As Otto mentions in the email regarding the cancellations, technical difficulties led to the problem. Apparently, the order was erroneously placed when the PS5 was already sold out:
Due to the high demand, there were technical difficulties in the ordering process. Although the PS5 was sold out, erroneous orders were still placed for a few seconds. Unfortunately, your order was one of them. We can fully understand your disappointment and would like to sincerely apologize to you.
Part of the email from Otto regarding the PS5 cancellation
More about the release day and the chaos surrounding the PS5:
What else leads to frustration? As many PS5 buyers report, they were not informed about the cancellation via email, but only found out by checking their customer account.
This is also advised by Otto’s customer service on Twitter. What is stated in the customer account should correspond to the truth. If you haven’t received an email yet, you should therefore check your account for safety.

Are there still problems aside from Otto? In Germany, it seems to mostly affect the provider Otto. However, there were also problems in other countries.
The shop Currys PC World from the UK promised to sell consoles at 9:00 AM British time. However, some users were able to order earlier, so there was no sale at all. As Pushsquare reports, the shop subsequently canceled the entire sale and canceled the early orders.
What happens next? Currently, there is no retailer in Germany that still has consoles available. Allegedly, Amazon is supposed to receive more stock later this year, but there is no official confirmation.
How it will proceed now is summarized for you here:
