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.

Because Borderlands 3 has a NextGen upgrade in store that has been available from day one.

On Xbox Series X, players have been able to cause chaos in the polished Borderlands for quite a while now, and PS5 players in Germany can join in starting today, the official launch day of the new PlayStation.
If you haven’t warmed up to the previous launch titles or the PS Plus Collection yet, and still have a penchant for crazy loot shooters, you should definitely check this out. And returning players can also look forward to new features.
1. Improved Performance
Borderlands is a hell of a fun but also wild game. Things go up in the air, there are flashes of lightning all around, and true hordes of enemies can lay down a barrage of fire on you. The PS4, for example, often hit its limit, leading to performance issues – especially in split-screen mode, it became less enjoyable at times.

On PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, even 4-player split-screen sessions are now possible (and a vertical mode is finally onboard). Menus also often took time to respond or lagged behind – not to mention the sometimes very long loading times. This is said to be a thing of the past on NextGen.

The NextGen version has been fully optimized and is said to run significantly smoother than usual. It advertises 60 fps in 4K resolution in single-player and online co-op. Reports indicate that a smooth 120 fps may be possible in performance mode, which Gearbox also addressed on Twitter:

If you have already collected all weapons, defeated every boss, and finished the DLCs, you can still look forward to new content. Recently, the first part of Season Pass 2 was released with new content. Although it is not included in the free upgrade, those looking to return to Borderlands may consider a purchase.
The “Designers Cut” has already been released, which includes new Skill Trees for your Vault Hunters along with the new Roguelike mode “Arms Race”.
There are new abilities for your Vault Hunters
Zane gets a new shoulder cannon
Amara gets a new Phase ability
Moze can now summon the Iron Cub
And FL4K now has a new trap and a Loader Bot to offer.
So there are plenty of new possibilities for you to try out with your Vault Hunters. The game is also continuously supplied with events, the Chaos mode offers a tough challenge even for pros, and in spring 2021, the Director’s Cut with new missions and content will be released. So Borderlands 3 remains interesting.
3. An Affordable Game for Launch
Getting the new consoles with a lot of accessories is quite expensive. The new games are not necessarily cheap either. If you want to save a little but still want plenty of content for your PS5, you can safely go for Borderlands 3. The best part is: The NextGen upgrade comes at no additional cost if you already own the game. And newcomers can also travel to the Borderlands quite cheaply by purchasing the game in its old version and then upgrading for free to PS5 and Xbox Series X.
How does the upgrade work? If you have the disc version for PS5 or Xbox Series X, you can simply insert the old disc into the console and then download the upgrade version. For digital PS5 or Series S, you need to access the store where you downloaded the game, and you can collect the upgrade there. Important: If you have a digital console, you currently cannot upgrade your physical copy of Borderlands 3.
The PlayStation 5 is finally officially available. However, some fans are left empty-handed, and the chaos during the third order wave is causing a lot of irritation among fans. Unscrupulous scalpers are looking to exploit this, offering the PS5 at absurd prices on eBay.
What is the current situation? Today, at 1 PM, the third pre-order wave for the PS5 was supposed to start at Amazon and other retailers. If you expected further chaos from the previous pre-orders, unfortunately, you will find yourself confirmed. Because currently (as of 19.11.2020, 2:30 PM) there is officially no PS5 available for purchase anywhere.
However, suddenly there are new consoles available through third-party sellers on sites like eBay, but at absurd scalper prices!
PS5 for 2,500 Euros!
What are scalpers asking for? On eBay, you can currently bid on various PlayStation 5 consoles. The problem is the prices. While the cheapest offer at 650 Euros is still somewhat affordable, prices quickly rise from there.
Various consoles are available for one and a half times the value at 750 Euros
Many PS5 models are going for 800 to 900 Euros
Finally, models are offered for 1,000 Euros or more
The highest price so far is 2,500 Euros, which a user is asking for a PS5 on eBay. However, they at least include the game Demon Souls and offer free delivery until November 24. Even to parcel stations!
Fans say: Of course, such scams are not well received by PlayStation 5 fans. Because these pre-order actions with limited quantities always attract unscrupulous entrepreneurs who want to profit from the desperation of fans who were left empty-handed.
Twitter user Marcus Tober summarizes well what many PS5 fans are likely thinking right now:

FIFA 21 will also be released for the next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X. Players can upgrade to the game for free if they already own FIFA 21 on the previous consoles. Here you can find all the known information so far.
When will FIFA 21 be available on next-gen? The FIFA 21 version for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will not be available immediately at launch, but a little later. From December 4, 2020, FIFA 21 will be available in its new version.

This is what FIFA 21 is supposed to look like on PS5 and Xbox Series X
How to transfer FIFA 21 to PS5 and Xbox Series X
Upgrade at no additional cost: FIFA 21 offers a “Dual Entitlement”. This allows players who own the PS4 and Xbox One version of the game to carry it over to the next generation – in its optimized form.
The important thing is: Xbox One players can only upgrade to Xbox Series X, while PS4 players can only upgrade to PS5. For example, it is not possible to buy the PS4 version and then claim the Xbox Series X version if you switch consoles during the transition to next-gen.
Which version can I upgrade? If you get the console versions with a disc drive, you can simply insert the old disc and download the new version. However, you’ll also need the disc to play the game – so don’t throw it away, give it away or anything like that!
The digital copy of the game can also be easily upgraded – no matter which console version you have.
However, if you buy the digital version for PS5 or Xbox Series S, you should also purchase FIFA 21 digitally. There is no way to upgrade the physical copies of the game to the digital versions.
How long is the offer valid? Players can secure the upgrade until the release of FIFA 22. After that, it will no longer be possible.
What about my progress? Transferring game progress is only limitedly possible. You can take over all progress, bonuses or items from Ultimate Team and VOLTA. However, this is not possible for other modes. Your achievements in the career mode, for example, will remain on the old console. By the way, this also works the other way around: You can continue to play FIFA 21 on the old consoles after upgrading, but you can only carry over progress from VOLTA and FUT.

However, Shadowlands seems to evoke little enthusiasm among some of you. In the comments under our articles, we often see skepticism regarding the addon or a lack of interest in the content. Even on our WoW Facebook page, players in the comments about Shadowlands were not convinced.
I have been playing WoW for 15 years and I usually play each addon for about 3-4 months. Except for Legion, that one held my attention longer. But for the first time, I feel no desire for the expansion… […]
MeinMMO reader Muchtie
The addon does offer features that are well-received, and in general, the community is rather positive about Shadowlands. This includes, for example, the dungeon Torghast or the return of long-missed class abilities, which were also appreciated here in the comments on MeinMMO.
Sounds very cool. I like it. Although I am currently not playing WoW anymore, Shadowlands sounds very interesting. I found BfA quite tempting as well, but stayed away because the content for solo players or small groups was somewhat too meager for me.
Therefore, we want to know: Is it just the impression that nobody is excited about Shadowlands, or is it really so? So tell us: What do you think about the new addon? What do you like about it and what not?
How can I vote? You can submit your votes as usual in the poll tool under the article. Everyone can only vote once. You also cannot undo your choice, so be careful which option you click on.
The poll ends on November 20.

Today, on November 19, 2020, it was expected that the PS5 could be pre-ordered at Amazon.de. The shipping giant even officially announced that there would be restocks available starting at 1:00 PM today.
However, if you now try to access the PS5 offers on Amazon.de, you are greeted with an error. It says, “We’re sorry. Error processing your request.” There is also a sentence stating they want to quickly address the problem.
Clearly, the rush on Amazon is so huge that the website is now hitting its limits. This happened around 1:00 PM. Everyone probably wanted to quickly secure a PS5 at that time.
This is the current situation: Various retailers are expected to have PS5 consoles available for pre-order today. These include Euronics and Medimax. At Otto and Expert, all stocks of the PlayStation 5 have already sold out today.
The AK-47 is the only assault rifle with a large 7.62 caliber in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, but it still feels very pleasant to play and deals a lot of damage. A pro from the “Call of Duty: League” now showcased his setup, which MyMMO presents to you here.
The Soviet Kalashnikov series is one of the most well-known weapon series among shooter players around the world. And although “Kalashnikov” actually stands for many different weapons, many probably think of a very specific model: the AK-47.
The automatic weapon has made it into many “Call of Duty” games and is back in Black Ops Cold War as well. It is the only assault rifle that competes with the large 7.62 caliber and clears out efficiently.
What makes the AK-47 strong? Unlike, for example, in the “Cold War” predecessor Modern Warfare, it plays really well this year, is manageable, and offers a decent damage output.
Pro player James “Clayster” Eubanks plays as the main assault rifle player this season for the New York Subliners and usually relies on the heavy assault rifle AK-47 in his scrims. On his Twitch channel, he now shows his best setup, which MyMMO presents to you here.
Cold War: AK-47 Setup tested by a pro
What does the setup look like? Clayster uses the wildcard “Gunslinger” for his loadout so that he can attach more than the usual 5 attachments to his weapon. In the end, he gets a really stable assault rifle with high range and a strong time-to-kill (TTK) that allows you to fire at opponents up to 95.25 meters in 300 milliseconds:
Optic: Microflex LED
Muzzle: Muzzle Brake 7.62
Barrel: 18.2″ Access
Body: Steady Hand Laser
Underbarrel: Speznas Grip
Magazine: 40 Rounds
Grip: Speznas Field Grip
Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock
What does the setup bring? The optic offers a 1.25x magnification, a nicely large field of view, and small edges, so that little is obscured in the immediate vicinity of your target.
The underbarrel and muzzle reduce the weapon’s recoil – vertically by nearly 12% and horizontally by 20%. With the access barrel, your damage range increases by a whopping 150%, allowing you to access your full damage in almost every gunfight.
The larger magazine gives you 10 extra bullets at the cost of some reload speed. In the first damage zone, you only need 4 bullets to take down an opponent, but with 40 bullets, you can apply even more pressure.
The Speznas Grip enables faster ADS speed and brings you into aim in 255 milliseconds. Combined with the TTK, the value here is at 555 milliseconds. Additionally, the grip provides 80% flinch resistance, allowing you to hold the weapon steady, even when bullets hit near you.
To compensate for movement and hip-fire penalties from the other attachments, the KGB Skeletal Stock and the Steady Hand Laser are added to the rifle, completing the pro setup for the AK-47 for Cold War Black Ops.
Here you can find more about the weapons in Cold War:
3 assault rifles compete for your loadout slots in Cold War
Which assault rifles still make it in Cold War? Shortly after release, the focus is on 3 weapons among the assault rifles:
FFAR 1: TTK – 330 ms / ADS – 255 ms
XM4: TTK – 333 ms / ADS – 255 ms
AK-47: TTK – 300 ms / ADS – 255 ms
In terms of time-to-kill, the 3 weapons are very close together. However, the AK has a slight advantage over the lightweight assault rifles with 5.56 caliber, being about 10% faster in time-to-kill, but it does feel a bit less stable compared to the XM4 and FFAR 1.
In WoW: Shadowlands you will be faced with a difficult choice. How will you decide? Which Covenant will you swear your allegiance to?
In World of Warcraft Shadowlands, there is mainly one big decision: the choice of a Covenant. The Covenant determines which of the four major factions of the Shadowlands you will fight for.
This not only influences your experience of the story but also the abilities your character possesses, as each Covenant comes with two unique abilities that even vary for each class.
Tied to the Covenant are also cosmetic rewards, such as stylish armor sets or different variations of “capes” – these can be wings, gravestones, or magical blades worn on the back. There are also additional fun elements, such as mounts and pets.
The choice of a Covenant thus significantly determines what you will experience in the Shadowlands and how your journey will change after reaching the maximum level.
If you are not yet aware of the Covenants, here is a brief summary of the individual Covenants.
Kyrian: You will meet the noble Kyrians in Bastion. They live according to strict guidelines and separate from the memories of their past life before they become Ascended. They help the souls of mortals transition to the Shadowlands so that they can be assigned their fate by the Soul Judge.
The Kyrians – one of the possible Covenants.
Nekrolords: The Necrolords of Maldraxxus may look like the Scourge, but they play an important role in the Shadowlands. These undead form the army of the Shadowlands and defend it against attackers to maintain order in the Shadowlands. Only the strongest souls with a warrior nature end up here to continue honing their skills and become perfect soldiers.
Night Fae: The Night Fae from Ardenweald take care of the souls of deceased nature spirits and ensure that they are reborn one day. In Ardenweald, harmony and care generally prevail, which is granted to nature spirits and particularly nature-loving beings. For druids, hunters, and tree huggers in general, this is likely heaven in the… well, heaven in the afterlife.
In Ardenweald you will meet the Night Fae.
Venthyr: When souls must atone, they come to the Venthyr in Revendreth. There, the souls are tortured and their Anima extracted until a final judgment is made. The vampiric Venthyr act as torturers but always have a possible redemption for the souls on offer – if one can endure the atonement. If you enjoy vampires and a dark setting, you will feel right at home here.
But now let’s turn to you! We want to listen to our community (that’s you!) and find out which of the Covenants has captured your heart. For that, we have prepared a small survey here. Keep in mind that you only have one vote, so please choose the Covenant you want to join with your main character.
This is how Epic’s CEO reacts: Sweeney reiterated his statement. He meant to say: “If the rules are wrong, then it is right not to follow those rules.”
It’s a good article. Hey critics, please read what I said and tell me if it’s actually wrong: When the rules were wrongful, it was right to disobey them. That’s the comparison to the civil rights movement. pic.twitter.com/WMomQXwEjr
This new rule was introduced by Apple: Even before the interview, Apple announced that they would now only demand 15% instead of 30% of the revenues from the companies using their services. However, this only applies to companies that make less than 1 million in revenue per year (from 2021) (via reddit). Fortnite would thus not be affected.
Tim Sweeney also reacted to this and suggested that Apple is likely trying to “divert as much negative criticism as possible to get away with their exclusion and the 30% claim in the App Store.” This seems to be what he wants to “fight” right now.
The dispute between Epic and Apple could last quite a while longer. For players who want to play Fortnite on their iOS devices, this means they will still have to wait. But it is also unclear how the court will ultimately decide.
The CEO of Epic Games “Tim Sweeney” spoke in an interview about the dispute between Epic and Apple regarding Fortnite. He compared the dispute to the civil rights movement, which fought for the rights of Black people. This did not sit well with some.
Subsequently, Epic Games sued Apple and Google. A dispute followed in which Apple threatened to close all developer accounts of Epic developers and eventually did so. This cut off the developers from the iOS and Mac tools, which had catastrophic consequences for games using the Unreal Engine. A court ruled that Apple had to restore access, but Fortnite remains excluded from the App Store.
The dispute between Apple and Epic seems to have no end in sight
Dispute compared by Sweeney to fight for civil rights
This is what the CEO of Epic Games said: In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Tim Sweeney talked about the dispute Epic is currently having with Apple. However, one of his comments drew attention.
The Epic CEO mentioned how Epic would stand up against Apple to defend their rights. He emphasizes this with a comparison to the civil rights movement in the United States.
Agreeing to Apple’s agreements is what is wrong. That’s why Epic has stood up against it, and you can hear that from them, and (…incomprehensible) to the fight for civil rights, when there were actually laws on the books and the laws were wrong. People stood up against it, and it was not wrong to disobey those laws, because agreeing with them would only have made them the status quo.
Tim Sweeney in interview
According to techcrunch.com, this strong statement reportedly caused eye-rolling among those present.
“White men love to pretend they are oppressed”
Here are the reactions: On Twitter, there are several comments critically addressing the civil rights comparison. With “Civil Rights Movement,” people in the USA primarily mean the civil rights movement that fought for the rights of Black people in the 50s and 60s. Many are displeased with the comparison of this movement to a dispute between two wealthy companies:
“This just makes me side with Apple even more”
“Rich white people love to act as if they are oppressed.”
“White men with more money than most will ever see think they are being punished for breaking rules to make even more money is the same as being killed for your skin color. Okay.”
“I love Epic, but saying that was just dumb.”
The site Gamerant reports that most comments pointed out that the comparison was not accurate.
Sweeney also forgot to mention that Epic violated a contract with Apple by implementing its own microtransactions.
