The Xbox Game Pass is now expanding with 86 new games from EA. Among them are many multiplayer titles and MMOs. We at MeinMMO present to you the most interesting and trending multiplayer titles that have been newly added.
How can you get the new games from EA? As previously announced, starting November 10, 2020, there will be the opportunity to play games from EA’s subscription service EA Play also through Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass. Additionally, 86 new games are joining the Pass. You can play them for free while your subscription for the Game Pass is active. You can find the complete selection of EA Play games here on the Game Pass homepage.
However, to utilize EA Play, you must subscribe to the most expensive Game Pass, the Game Pass Ultimate for €12.99 per month. The cheaper versions do not include EA Play games.
To help you make the decision for or against the Game Pass, we have listed the most interesting multiplayer games from EA Play that are now available in the Game Pass.
The Game Pass will be expanded with 86 games from EA.
This is how we chose the best multiplayer games from EA Play: In our selection, we particularly paid attention to the fact that the games are also current. So don’t be surprised that games like FIFA 15 or Battlefield 1943 do not appear on the list. Another criterion is the overall quality of the game. The order of the games listed here is random and does not reflect any ranking.
Battlefield V – Still Current
What is it?Battlefield 5 is from the year 2018 and is the current game in the series until the release of the yet-to-be-named next Battlefield in 2021, even though there have been no new content since mid-2020. The setting is in World War II and offers the large battles typical of Battlefield with soldiers in various classes. Additionally, there is a large battle royale mode called Firestorm.

What are the features? Battlefield 5 offers different game modes, in which large-scale battles between two armies represent the most spectacular modes. In these, you engage in lengthy conflicts over supremacy across multiple maps to ultimately defeat the opponent.
In addition to various contemporary weapons, vehicles and aircraft are also used. This applies to the battle royale mode where heavy tanks roll around, and the terrain can be partially destroyed.
Who should play it? Battlefield 5 is mainly aimed at shooter fans who enjoy large battles with vehicles. Battlefield conveys a unique atmosphere and offers many tactical alternatives that leave their mark on the battlefield due to the destructible environment.
Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville – Fun Party Shooter

The contents related to the last major Star Wars film.
What are the features? In the game, you can expect several multiplayer modes. Everything from quick skirmishes to epic battles is included. Especially the maps, which depict the battle of Endor or the final showdown from episode 8, create a very dense Star Wars atmosphere.
Additionally, you can take on certain heroes or villains for special achievements in the match, including Darth Vader, Boba Fett, or Luke Skywalker.
Who should play it? If you like shooters, can cope with the fast pace of the game, and are also a Star Wars fan, then you should definitely check out Battlefront 2. The game is no longer actively being developed, but the existing content still offers plenty of hours of fun.
Which games are also interesting for multiplayer?
In addition to the major multiplayer games presented here, there are a few more games from the EA Play lineup that are interesting for multiplayer fans:
A Way Out: A co-op game where you break out of prison
Unravel 2: A beautiful platformer with a co-op mode
Furthermore, you can play the controversial loot shooter Anthem. It is currently being thoroughly reworked and is at least fun until the endgame. You can confidently try it out for free and if it’s not for you, switch to one of the countless new EA titles in the Game Pass.

In Destiny 2, the Cosmodrome is back, and so is the legendary loot cave from Destiny 1. It made headlines in 2014, but by 2020, not much was left of it.
What was the loot cave in Destiny 1? In Destiny 1, there was the region “the Cosmodrome” in Old Russia, where modern Kazakhstan is located. In the sub-area “Skywatch”, the legendary loot cave existed.
It was a cave from which dozens of Hive enemies continuously streamed in. When players kept their distance, waves of relatively weak enemies spawned and rushed towards the guardians. The guardians shot them down, reloaded, and sent the next batch to their Hive gods.
Once a few hundred Hive enemies were defeated, players could “loot” and collect many engrams and items. This gave players the feeling of making “a lot of loot” at once. The engrams were decrypted by the Cryptarch, Master Rahool – usually resulting in rather disappointing loot, but somehow that didn’t matter much.
Players gathered in random groups, anyone who could point a gun in the general direction of the Hive was allowed to participate: That was the loot cave.

This was the loot cave in 2014: “The newest and best way to farm.”
The irony was: Bungie had designed a huge open world with numerous adventures and portrayed Destiny as a fantastic adventure.
However, players preferred to stand stupidly in the same spot and mindlessly shot the same enemies over and over. It wasn’t even a particularly good way to farm, as Bungie later explained, but people just liked doing it.
Those looking in from the outside shook their heads at what a strange bunch the guardians were. The loot cave was immortalized in many memes and iconic videos: A legend was born.

This legendary video pays tribute to Master Rahool and the loot cave
In 2014, Destiny introduced many players on PlayStation and Xbox to the concepts of a loot shooter: such a supposedly super loot spot radiated incredible allure.
Later, Bungie closed the cave and new “even better and more secret loot caves” were discovered and promoted on YouTube.
The guardians had tasted blood and wanted their loot cave back.
So this is the loot cave now: With Destiny 2 “Beyond Light”, the Cosmodrome from Destiny 1 returned. The place where the loot cave used to be is back in the game, but there are no mobs there anymore.
Instead, Bungie has re-warmed the Easter egg from Destiny 1 that references the loot cave: There are some Hive corpses lying around in Destiny 2, and when clicked, one hears a voice croaking: “Millions of deaths are not enough for Master Rahool.”
A reference to how many Hive mobs had to die here so that guardians could bring the engrams to the Cryptarch, Master Rahool.

This is what the old loot cave looks like today in Destiny 2.
Beforehand, fans on reddit had imagined that Bungie must at least turn the “loot cave” into a mini-dungeon or come up with another Easter egg, but that didn’t happen.
Players discover “a new loot cave” in 2020
So is the loot cave dead? The original loot cave is dead. However, clever players have also found a method to progress quickly in 2020.
The new method to reach a new level cap in just one hour is also considered a loot cave. Some things never change.
From November 6 to 9, a beta test for Bless Unleashed took place on PC. MyMMO editor Alexander Leitsch took this opportunity to play the MMORPG.
What kind of game is this? Bless Unleashed is a new free-to-play MMORPG that claims to focus on action-packed combat and challenging bosses. You fight various enemies and follow a story told through quests.
In the endgame, you can expect many field bosses and dungeons as well as PvP.
What is this article based on? I played around 12 hours of the beta on PC and afterwards several more hours on Xbox. Additionally, I watched some videos about the game that I incorporated into this report. I played Bless Online for about 20 hours in 2019.

Why is Bless Unleashed viewed so controversially? The controversy surrounding the game mainly lies in the fact that it is developed by Round 8 Studios. This is a subsidiary of Neowiz, which was responsible for Bless Online.
Bless Online was one of the big hopes for MMORPG fans in 2018. The game from Asia promised a lot and wanted to adapt to western fans. However, technical problems, lack of content, and unmet promises led to a quick shutdown. After just one year, Bless Online was dead.
Race-lock and PC porting spoil the action-packed start
This is how the start unfolds: In my opinion, the first steps in the game are very elegantly designed. I first experience a kind of dream, in which I play a max-level character and thus learn the game’s mechanics.
I slice through numerous enemies until a big boss fight awaits me at the end. The action-packed combat, which places a lot of value on combos, becomes evident early on.
The system also allows me to get to know a class. If I am not satisfied with this at max level, I can delete the character and create a new one.
What does Bless Unleashed offer for characters? At the start, I have the choice of 5 different classes:
Crusader
Berserker
Priest
Mage
Ranger
On PC, I chose a Ranger; later on Xbox, I played the Berserker. You have 3 free character slots available right from the start.
Notably, during character creation, Bless Unleashed has a race-lock that is partly linked with a gender-lock:
If you play as a Berserker, you must select a huge, male Varg.
Rangers, on the other hand, are only available as male or female elves.
For the other 3 classes, you at least have the choice of 2 different races – humans, elves, or Ippin, a small, cute animal race.
However, overall, the variety of races and classes during character creation is limited. Although the editor itself offers many options, Bless Unleashed does not stand out significantly because of it. I was even somewhat disappointed by the restrictions regarding races.
The character editor of Bless Unleashed is extensive, but slightly marred by the race-lock.
Fights and combos: The fights in Bless Unleashed do not play as well on PC as hoped. You can already see that in the tutorial. While button-mashing was enjoyable on Xbox, it feels wrong on PC that all combos consist of endlessly long sequences of right or left mouse clicks. Occasionally, the “R” key mixes in. However, the potential of a keyboard is not utilized at all.
I found it particularly annoying to break free from a stun. For this, I have to alternate pressing the left and right mouse buttons, which is not fun compared to using a controller.
On the left, you can see the combos of the game.
Moreover, I found the fights and aiming somewhat clunky on both platforms. The controls are not precise enough. Also, despite the action combat system, it doesn’t matter much where I aim, so long as I hit the enemy approximately.
The sometimes long animations during attacks often allow enemies to evade my attacks due to their own attack animations.
Additionally, there is an endurance system for dodging rolls and sprinting. However, this bar is quickly depleted and should definitely be adjusted. For archers, it’s also important to ensure that there are enough arrows in the quiver. If they run out, you become temporarily incapacitated.
The actually action-packed fights often feel static and frustrating due to these issues. And that is a shame for a system focused on combos and dynamics.
Navigation with the mouse: Another problem of the PC beta for me was the navigation with the mouse. The cursor lags significantly behind the actual movement, making quick adjustments impossible.
Sometimes, the mouse pointer may visually appear to be over the next item in the inventory, but the game still thinks it is over the old one. The click, in turn, activates at the wrong place.
Navigation through the admittedly rather ugly interface did not feel good. But that can be fixed.
These are, however, problems that should be resolved during the beta. Unlike the graphics, which did not convince me on either platform.
Beautiful graphics in the trailers, sobering in-game
While Bless Unleashed made a visually stunning impression in trailers, I found the in-game graphics significantly weaker. Especially the water animations looked washed out and the background unnaturally two-dimensional.
I also gave a big minus point for the immersion, which is repeatedly destroyed by invisible walls.
In this fight in the starting area, the city is on fire. However, you cannot touch the fire itself. It is simply behind a wall.
I couldn’t walk further than this point. And such walls I found quite frequently in the game.
Also, regarding colors, Bless Unleashed seems very pale to me. Everything appears somewhat brightened through the filters, and I personally find that unattractive.
Really nice armors: An optical aspect that I noticed positively in videos and reviews is the visual development of the characters.
The better equipment you gather, the cooler you look. There are also clear differences in the equipment, which I like – even though I am not a “fashion addict”.
Moreover, there are costumes and the option to overlay equipment with other, already existing skins and adjust their colors. Here, Bless Unleashed can convince.

Much grind, even in the mid-game
What is the gameplay loop of the MMORPG? In Bless Unleashed, much revolves around quests and tasks in the open world. This is actually well done. Events and world bosses continually appear, which need to be tackled. Furthermore, it actually feels lively, unlike many other MMORPGs.
However, grinding plays an important role in Bless Unleashed:
You gather XP to level up
You gather XP for certain skills
You constantly need a higher gear score to experience content
You primarily do this at the beginning through quests. These are divided into two types – blue for story quests and yellow for side quests – but are very uninspired and offer little variety. Especially in the early stages, much consists of running from NPC to NPC and mindlessly defeating monsters.
However, Bless Unleashed’s quest system does not feel well-developed overall. The quests often reward you with less and weaker equipment than you would actually need for your progression. You can even notice this already in the first hours.
The gear score is prominently displayed in the interface and plays an important role.
How do you grind? At this point, I can only rely on statements from players and other reviews. However, they mostly criticize two things:
You constantly need new equipment to experience the newest content. The gear score is usually too low.
For this, you often grind world bosses and hope for a rare drop of new equipment. But that very much depends on luck.
Alternatively, you use the upgrade system for equipment.
However, at some point during the upgrades, there is a threshold where the upgrades can go wrong. After that, you must repair the equipment before you can try to upgrade it again.
You can also use star seeds for these upgrades. This is a rare resource that you can earn in-game. However, you can also only use this one resource to trade with other players to obtain equipment.
The earned gold in the game can only be exchanged once a day for a specific amount of star seeds. Otherwise, the gold is primarily used for merchants. This makes the currency feel relatively unnecessary in the mid- and end-game.
Open-world PvP: If you wish, you can activate PvP in the interface in Bless Unleashed and attack other players outside of cities and starting zones. All areas from level 20 are considered PvP zones. However, there is the restriction that you can only attack players within +-5 levels.
If you attack players who do not have PvP activated, there is a karma system. This means that at a certain level, guards attack you, and other players can kill you without repercussions.
In addition to open PvP, there is also a battleground for 30v30.
So far, I have not really engaged with PvP.
Is it better than Bless Online?
In terms of performance, Bless Unleashed does significantly better than its predecessor. I had almost no issues in beta and was able to play smoothly. However, Round 8 Studios still needs to refine the controls on PC as I personally saw a lot of flaws.
In the gameplay itself, I still see many similar problems. Uninspired quests, a lot of grinding, open-world PvP, and clunky combat. Neither of the two MMORPGs have truly convinced me.
In fact, the strong race lock is even a small step back compared to Bless Unleashed.
Conclusion on Bless Unleashed
Pros
Very good start
Exciting boss fights
A truly open world without loading times and with many tasks
Cool visual options for characters
The performance is significantly better than that of Bless Online back then
Cons
Quite a strong race lock
The combat system is clunky and static due to the long animations
The quests are uninspired and simplistic
Grinding equipment system with possible failures
The port to PC is still in beta
Solid free-to-play MMORPG with a lot of potential that unfortunately is not being fully realized.
After about 5 hours of Bless Unleashed overall, my conclusion is rather sobering. The MMORPG can score points with its performance, very good start, and interesting boss fights. It is also fun to walk through and explore the world.
However, I already did not like the combat system on PC from the start. The combos feel uninspired, and the long animations take away any sense of dynamics and action. The monotonous quests and the race lock are also two downsides on my list.
While I have not yet delved deeply into grinding, what I have heard so far does not sound very appealing.
The problem I see with Bless Unleashed is the low chance of improvement. Similar issues were already criticized two years ago with Bless Online at the launch of the game on Xbox One. But apparently, little has been learned from that. Even though Unleashed is better than Bless Online, I would really wish that the MMORPG would step it up and improve upon the port to PC and the combat system. Because the game fundamentally has potential. However, very little of it is realized.

Overall, the mood is rather negative, the long wait brings down the spirits. The problem is also that the event was running much faster on the PTR. Rare enemies appeared in minute intervals there.
If you are interested in more about the pre-event in WoW, you might also want to check this out:
Players are demanding improvements: However, there are also some good ideas on how the event could be easily improved. For example, needconfirmation suggests that the rare enemies should function just like in the warfront areas:
I don’t understand why they don’t just work like the warfront rares. Set their spawn timer to a few minutes, but you can only loot them once a week (or once a day for this event). What exactly is better about this [large bunch of players] making every rare spawn a huge lag fest?
What do you think of the event? Are you patiently waiting for the rare spawns, or is it too annoying for you?

In WoW players have to wait a long time for the special enemies of the pre-event. This causes frustration. Players are demanding improvements.
In World of Warcraft, the pre-event for Shadowlands has started. Countless players are currently unleashing the zombie invasion, experiencing the cool cinematic with Nathanos or completing quests in Northrend. However, one aspect is greatly bothering the players, making the pre-event quite boring. There is a waiting time of 20 minutes between individual event bosses. This is extremely annoying.
What is the problem? In Icecrown, special rare mobs appear during the event. These are all bosses that players should already know from Wrath of the Lich King. The bosses drop different items, primarily twink gear and scourge stones for the event. The catch is: only one rare mob can be active at the same time. Once this one dies, a timer of 20 minutes starts before the next boss appears.
The second problem is that the bosses have a fixed rotation. A new boss appears every 20 minutes. Since there are 20 different rare mobs, a complete run takes about 6 hours and 40 minutes. Whoever misses the one rare boss they actually want – like Bronjahm for the 34-slot bag – has to wait almost 7 hours for another chance.
This is how the players are reacting: On the WoW Subreddit, the topic is already being discussed. Many players currently find the event too boring since they have to wait 19 minutes after each rare mob.
So writes Thekingdom99:
Kill the rare spawn – everyone flies to the next point = AFK for 19 minutes. This is not fun. No chance to do it on 3 or 4 twinks.
Many are displeased with Blizzard.
In response, Therealrobonthecob writes:
The fact that only one of the rares can be active at the same time is really strange. The game feels like a damn boring rollercoaster ride in Icecrown. Not a great world, not interesting… with a few small changes, this could be drastically improved.

In Destiny 2, players have found a way to reach level 1,200 effortlessly in just one hour. This way, even the tough story missions of Beyond Light can be mastered solo, where many have struggled.
The expansion Destiny 2: Beyond Light was released just last night, on November 10. Many players have been unable to log in due to server issues. However, inventive Guardians have already discovered a way to reach the first new level cap (Soft Cap) of 1,200 in just one hour.
Update November 12: Bungie has adjusted a key component of the power leveling method described here. The Destiny developer announced this via Twitter late on November 12:

The guaranteed drop rate of legendary items has been adjusted – you now receive them randomly like any other sector boss. You can still complete the Lost Sector quickly, but the jump to level 1,200 is likely to take significantly longer. Bungie reacted very quickly to this, as many suspected.
Here comes the original announcement.
Why should I level up quickly? The new story of Beyond Light brings the Guardians to Europa against Eramis. However, players complain that the level requirements of the missions have a very steep curve.
Just after a short time, solo players feel like they are running into a wall. Although all Guardians start the new season of the hunt for power level 1,050, below 1,160 the Fallen deal extreme damage and can withstand almost everything easily.
Eramis and her elite give Guardians a headache in Beyond Light
This is how power leveling works in Destiny 2 at the start of Beyond Light
The Destiny expert Aztecross has made a video showing how you can level up extremely fast and efficiently right at the start of Beyond Light. This is made possible by the Lost Sector “Widow’s Path” in the EDZ (European Dead Zone).
This is why it works so well:
Widow’s Path is a very short Lost Sector that can be completed in under a minute after a few runs.
The boss in the sector is a marked “wanted target” – he drops loot with +10.
With Beyond Light, changes to power level have been introduced – your level rises quickly up to the Soft Cap, and only from 1,200 does it become more challenging.
You can enter the EDZ on Earth without any DLC story prerequisites.
You will find the Lost Sector “Widow’s Path” in the “Trostland” area of the EDZ – right near the prominent church
This is what the process looks like:
Enter the sector, go down the stairs and rush to the boss.
Take out the Captain, who is accompanied by 2 Nightmares.
Grab his drop and loot the chest.
Exit the area until you see “Trostland” on the left side of the screen.
Repeat the whole process until you have gear with level 1,200 in all slots.
Anyone part of a fire team of up to 3 Guardians levels up even faster.
Also pay attention to these tips:
Have enough free space in your inventory – you don’t want your gear ending up at the Postmaster in the Tower.
You can also use your old gear; the level in the sector itself is not important – a mobility exotic makes you even faster.
With the sword “Falling Guillotine“, you can cut through everything in the sector despite the nerf.
The topic of power leveling has likely divided the community in the new expansion of Destiny 2: Are you taking advantage of the opportunity for fast leveling? Or do you think that now that it has taken so long for Beyond Light to finally release, one shouldn’t rush through it?
Do you find it even good that the story missions in the DLC are a bit more challenging, requiring a deeper engagement with your Guardian? Let us know in the comments.
Pokémon Home is now finally connectable with Pokémon GO. This way you can transfer your Pokémon from your smartphone to Switch games. However, there are some restrictions and the prices are not exactly cheap. This leads to misunderstandings among some trainers.
What is Pokémon Home? In Home, you can manage your Pokémon from various current games. This is intended to help you keep track of which Pokémon you caught in which game. Additionally, you can trade Pokémon from one game to another.
You can transfer your monsters from PoGO to Pokémon Home
However, you cannot bring monsters from Home to Pokémon GO. So be mindful of which Pokémon you want to transfer
Some Pokémon cannot be transferred, including your Buddys, costumed Pokémon, Shadow Pokémon, or Mega Evolutions.
Pokémon with lucky or purified bonus lose these upon transfer
To use the system, you currently need to be level 38. However, this level may be reduced in the future
Every transfer costs you transporter energy
And exactly with this transporter energy, massive resistance is currently growing among the trainers. Because it regenerates slowly or you can buy it for PokéCoins. And that can become very expensive.
A Pokémon transfer costs up to 10 euros
How does the energy work? You start with 10,000 energy, which is also the maximum. Each transfer consumes energy, with you regenerating 60 of it per hour. Total regeneration of 10,000 energy takes you 167 hours, which is nearly a week of waiting time.
Alternatively, you can buy 10 energy for 1 PokéCoin. So 10,000 energy costs 1,000 PokéCoins or roughly 9.99 euros in real money.
What do the transfers actually cost? The costs vary for each Pokémon, as the type of Pokémon, its CP and the shiny version each come with an additional cost. We have compiled an overview of the prices for you:
Standard Pokémon:
Base cost: 10 energy
Shiny: +1,990 energy
CP 1001-2000: +100 energy
CP 2001 or more: +300 energy
Legendary Pokémon:
Base cost: 1,000 energy
Shiny: +9,000 energy
CP 1001-2000: +300 energy
CP 2001 or more: +500 energy
Mythical Pokémon:
Base cost: 2,000 energy
Shiny: +8,000 energy
CP 1001-2000: +500 energy
CP 2001 or more: + 700 energy
Shiny versions of Legendary or Mythical Pokémon consume your entire quota of 10,000 energy. Alternatively, you can wait an entire week or pay for another transfer with PokéCoins.
How exactly the transfer works for Pokémon that cost more than 10,000 energy, we have not been able to test yet. However, we will update the article accordingly.
How do trainers react? The user @A_DV_NTT has already complained on Twitter that he would have to wait 3.5 years or pay 1,830 dollars for all his 183 shinies.
He merely comments on this with a terse “Yikes Niantic”.
However, some users are happy about the small rewards when transferring to Pokémon Home. These rewards revolve around Meltan and Melmetal.
Melmetal for Switch and Meltan in Pokémon GO
What do you get for a transfer? If you transfer a Pokémon from PoGO to Home, you will receive a Melmetal with Gigantamaxing as a thank you. However, you can only use this in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
With Rohan: Eternal Vengeance, an MMORPG returns that was just closed a few weeks ago. What has changed now?
What kind of MMORPG is this? Rohan: Eternal Vengeance is a re-release of the recently discontinued MMORPG Rohan: Blood Feud. Basically, it’s the same game, which has been expanded with some new elements.
When did Rohan: Blood Feud close its doors? The MMORPG was shut down on October 15. However, when it was announced in July, the team stated that the MMORPG was to be replaced by something new. What that was, the team did not reveal at the time. Now it is clear that it is a re-release titled Rohan: Eternal Vengeance.

When did the new game start? The launch took place on November 10 in the afternoon. Since then, you can create an account for the free-to-play MMORPG on the official website, download the client, and start playing.
What does the re-release have to offer? Rohan: Eternal Vengeance takes place after the destruction of the old world. However, the new beginning is marked by old hatred. And in the darkness, something evil lurks…
Rohan: Eternal Vengeance lets you create a hero from seven races just like its predecessor.
You still explore a vast game world where quests and battles against monsters await you.
Crafting is essential, as this is how you obtain particularly powerful equipment.
What has changed compared to the previous version? If you have played Rohan before, you will find yourself comfortably in the re-release. The core gameplay has not changed. However, some new features have been added.
You can fish through a new mini-game. For this, you first need a fishing rod and catch fish with it.
Crafting plays a bigger role than before.
The tutorial has been revamped. There are now navigation quests that gently introduce you to the game and differ by chosen race.
For every 20 monsters killed, you receive bonus EXP. This is related to another new system, the hunt.
The hunt – you set out to hunt specific monsters to earn titles that distinguish you from other players.

Destiny 2 Beyond Light has launched and introduced some new Exotics. We explain here how to acquire the exotic weapon “No Time to Explain” and what it can do.
What is happening in Destiny 2? In Destiny 2, on the evening of November 10, the new expansion Beyond Light and the new Season 12, the Season of the Hunt, have launched.
The new Season along with Beyond Light brings a variety of new content, including fresh Exotics. Some of these can be acquired quite quickly.
In addition to the new exotic shotgun Duality, the iconic pulse rifle “No Time to Explain” is likely to be among the first weapon Exotics players can grab.
“No Time to Explain” with its ornament “Frozen in Time”
How to get the exotic pulse rifle “No Time to Explain” in Beyond Light – Here’s how
Where can you find the weapon? This weapon is available only if you have purchased
the Digital Deluxe Edition of Beyond Light
Beyond Light + Season 12
or the physical “The Stranger” Edition of Beyond Light
.
Here’s how to get it: First, you need to complete the new campaign of Beyond Light. Once that is done, you must speak with the Exo Stranger at the new location Europa. Your location is already known from the campaign and is right by the landing zone in the lowest area “Beyond”. From her, you will receive No Time to Explain along with the Masterwork Catalyst.
Please note: If you have not purchased any of the mentioned editions, this new Exotic will be available only after Season 12 – and only with Beyond Light. How exactly remains to be revealed by Bungie.
What the No Time to Explain can do in Destiny 2
Many will remember this iconic gun from Destiny 2. This is the modified rifle of the Stranger, which now makes its entrance in Destiny 2 with the namesake Exo Stranger. The weapon is named after a famous saying from the Stranger, who had no time to explain why she cannot explain.
This is what makes this new exotic weapon special: The “No Time to Explain” is a pulse rifle for the kinetic slot. It has a rate of fire of 340 and features a 24-round magazine. The weapon fires in bursts of three – and it does so automatically when you hold the trigger.
The exotic perk is called “Rewind Again” and causes precision shots and shots on slowed or frozen enemies by Stasis to return to the magazine. This effect can stack.
Additionally, the weapon also has the special perk “Time Dilation”. At 10 stacks of “Rewind Again” a small portal opens up, allowing the weapon to fire additional bullets from an alternate timeline. Precision hits extend the duration of the portal.
Had “No Time to Explain” in Destiny 1, the Exo Stranger.
This is what the exotic Masterwork Catalyst does: If you upgrade No Time to Explain to Masterwork, the portal of the Time Dilation perk will fire more frequently.
The Kaira Pro by Razer is specifically designed for the Xbox Series X. We tested the wireless headset and will tell you for whom the device is worthwhile. At the end, we will also present alternatives..
The most important thing in brief:
The Razer Kaira Pro is a wireless headset and supports Bluetooth and Wifi.
Supported are Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Android, and PC.
The headset costs 169 Euros and is currently only available through Razer’s store.
In our test, the headphones provide very high comfort, even for eyeglass wearers.
Which headset is it? The Kaira Pro is a wireless gaming headset from the manufacturer Razer. Technically, it is most comparable to the Arctis 9X from SteelSeries or the Turtle Beach 700 Gen 2. All three offer similar connection types, Xbox support, and are in a similar price category (150 – 200 Euros).
In our test, we examined the Kaira Pro in detail for you.
Razer Kaira Pro Review: How did we test?
We were able to test the headset over several days:
We played games, listened to music, and chatted with friends.
The device was used via both Bluetooth and “Xbox Wireless”.
Razer Kaira Pro in detail
In the following section, we will present the gaming headset in detail. We will address the following aspects:
Scope of delivery
Design and build
Processing
Software
After that, we will explain how the headset performs in practice. Here, we will also cover audio and voice quality.
Delivery content of the Kaira Pro
Scope of Delivery
What accessories are included? In addition to the headset, the box also contains:
the removable microphone
a quick start guide
a “USB-A to USB-C” cable
You will not find a dongle or similar in the Kaira Pro’s scope of delivery. Therefore, if you want to use the headset not only on the Xbox but also on the Windows PC, you will need an adapter: either a Bluetooth adapter or an Xbox Wireless adapter. The headset cannot be used with the included USB cable; it can only be charged.
Our purchase recommendation for PC: Here, we would generally advise you to go for the Xbox Wireless Adapter. This costs around 20 – 30 Euros more, but the transmission quality is significantly better than with Bluetooth. The configuration of the Xbox Wireless Adapter is also very easy.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Design and Build
What does the headset look like? The headset features Razer’s characteristic green and black colors. The padding on the head and the boundary to the ear cushions are in green. On both sides of the ears is the Razer logo, which can be subtly illuminated but can also be turned off.
What buttons does the headset have? All important functions of the headset are located directly on the ear cups:
On the left side, there is:
the on-off switch, a slider to mute the microphone.
a jack port to plug in the microphone.
the USB-C port to charge the headset or connect it to the PC.
Additionally, there is a textured wheel to increase or decrease the volume.
On the right side, there are three switches:
a switch to establish the connection via “Xbox Wireless”;
a switch to start pairing mode for Bluetooth;
a textured wheel to increase or decrease the microphone volume;
How does the device fit? The Razer Kaira Pro is an over-ear headset: this means the headset is worn completely over the ears, and the ears sit inside the ear cushions. The latter cannot be detached from the headset. The microphone, on the other hand, can be removed and stored separately from the headset.
Drivers of the headset
Razer uses its own “Razer Triforce 50 mm” drivers for this headset. These use titanium-coated membranes, which are said to ensure clear voice reproduction and lag-free sound quality.
Processing
In general, the headset gives us a stable and well-processed impression. The headband is reinforced with metal, and there are no gaps or obvious workmanship errors. The function keys on the ear cups are made of plastic but provide good, clicking feedback. Two dials are textured and also feel good in the hand.
Software: Razer Headset Setup for Xbox
What we like about the software: On the Xbox and Windows PC, Razer uses its “Razer Headset Setup for Xbox” app. With it, you can create various sound profiles for sound and microphone.
The app is clearly structured. There is only a simple menu, and the settings for the crucial points lie directly behind the individual items. Everything works precisely and is wonderfully easy to handle: With two clicks, we are in the equalizer menu, and with one more click, we can configure the microphone.
Razer Headset Setup for Xbox: You control the Kaira Pro with this software
It is also worth mentioning positively that with the software, you can get more out of the sound. While music sounds very static without the software, some nuances can be drawn out from the headset using the equalizer: for example, the plucking bass from the jazz group has clear contours, while the singer shines above it.
This is less successful: The software can only be updated via the Windows PC. It is important to note that the firmware update only works via the Windows PC. Manufacturers like Roccat show how it can be done better: With the “Roccat Swarm Software,” the firmware can be updated directly through the software.

The Kaira Pro in Practice Test
So far, we have presented the general data and facts of the Razer Kaira Pro. But how does it perform in practice in terms of sound, wearing comfort, and microphone? We will present impressions and experiences from practical use.
Comfort
What we like: The Razer Kaira Pro does not have a bulky appearance like the competition. While the GSP 670 from EPOS | Sennheiser appears large and robust, the Kaira Pro looks significantly slimmer and more space-saving. Yet, the Kaira Pro weighs only about 30 grams less than the GSP 670 (398 grams).
EPOS | Sennheiser GSP 670 (left) and Razer Kaira Pro (right) in comparison. The GSP 670 looks significantly bulkier than the Kaira Pro.
Overall, the headset sits very comfortably on the head. The headband can also be adjusted in width; the headphones sit comfortably and softly, and nothing presses.
With the combination of a large head and glasses, the headset also remains comfortable over long gaming sessions, and we felt no discomfort from the device. Other testers also praised the high comfort of the headset.
The buttons on the headset are also easy to reach.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
This is less successful: It is only through the software that you can find out how full the battery of the device is. There is no acoustic indication like that of the GSP 670, which tells you how full your battery is. If you use the headset wirelessly and the battery is empty, the headset turns off with an acoustic signal. There is no warning or indication of a nearly empty battery.
With 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz, Razer attempts to cover all frequencies detectable by the human ear. Below 10 Hz, we perceive nothing, and the same applies above 20,000 Hz.
You can test which frequencies you can (still) perceive with your ears here at Funkkopfhörer.infos.de.
What we like: The overall picture is balanced. No frequency appears too strong or dominant in the base setting. In particular, voices are transmitted clearly and distinctly. This applies to music, games, and colleagues with whom we spoke. Deep voices sound warmer and more voluminous than high voices.
Razer Headset Setup: If you test a bit here, you can get a lot out of the headset. The presets like bass and FPS, however, are exaggerated.
This is less successful: Without an equalizer, music sounds clinically clean. With an equalizer, a lot of tonal nuances can be extracted. In the test, we raised the frequency ranges “Low-Mid” and “Mid-High” a bit, and immediately had a more contrasting sound:
For gamers, this means that details in the sound can be distinguished from one another: footstep sounds can be perceived better, and explosions sound even more powerful than before.
What impact does the software have? With the software, you can make fine adjustments. Besides the standard profile, the software also offers you two preset examples:
The “Bass” mode emphasizes the low frequencies. This makes the bass significantly stronger and more powerful, almost too dominant.
The “FPS” mode mainly enhances the mid frequencies.
In general, however, we would advise you to customize the sound individually. The preset gaming modes are only partially useful as the individual frequencies become far too dominant.
If you’re looking for more hardware for your Xbox, then read our articles about it:
What we like: The microphone connects easily and is recognized immediately. Our voice is clear to other users and sounds homogeneous and natural in conversations. In general, background noise and sound sources are not picked up by the microphone. When the voice is transmitted via “Xbox Wireless,” it is delivered clearly and without distortion on the other side.
Another advantage: You can adjust the microphone volume directly on the headset. When you change the microphone, the headset will give an acoustic signal.
This is less successful: Besides the microphone that we connect via “3.5 mm” jack, Razer has also integrated a small internal microphone. The quality here is significantly poorer and sounds more like a bad tin can phone. Therefore, if you want to use the headset for speaking, you should definitely connect the jack microphone.
The transmission quality is worse via Bluetooth than via “Xbox Wireless”. This is noticeable during phone calls when connecting the headset to the smartphone.
Kaira Pro: Connection Type/Connectivity
The Kaira Pro offers you a dual-wireless function. Thanks to dual wireless, the headset can connect to Bluetooth-enabled devices like smartphones while simultaneously being connected wirelessly to the Xbox. The headset thus allows you to listen to music or podcasts in addition to the game sound, which can be adjusted, or make calls in between. MeinMMO currently also offers the MeinMMO podcast.
What we like: The connectivity of the headset remained stable throughout the test. We noticed no connection drops and otherwise had no issues. Connecting with all compatible devices was straightforward, and the transmission quality was always flawless.
This is less successful: The transmission quality via Bluetooth is noticeably worse than via “Xbox Wireless”. If you’re mainly gaming on the Xbox, this won’t bother you – the same goes for PC gamers who own an Xbox Wireless adapter. Users who prefer to use the device primarily on their smartphone may find it frustrating at times.
Out of curiosity, we also tried connecting the headset to the PlayStation 4. The headset is recognized immediately via Bluetooth, but when attempting to connect, there is a message indicating that Bluetooth headsets are not supported. Therefore, it does not work. However, since the headset was specifically designed for the Xbox, this does not affect our test.
Conclusion
For whom is the headset suitable? If you are looking for a comfortable wireless headset with many function buttons and a good microphone, you should definitely consider the Kaira Pro. Also, pure gamers who appreciate high compatibility and device variety should definitely take a look at the Razer Kaira Pro. Pure music lovers may, however, find more convincing headphones in terms of sound quality. However, it should be noted that high-end models like the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO cost 423.00 Euros as well.
What alternatives are there? The biggest competitors for the Kaira Pro are the SteelSeries Arctis 9X and the Turtle Beach 700 Gen 2. Both gaming headsets offer you good sound quality, a decent microphone, and also dual wireless, allowing you to connect multiple devices.
While the Arctis 9X costs around 200 Euros but can currently also be found on sale for around 170 Euros, the Turtle Beach 700 Gen 2 is priced slightly lower with an RRP of 149 Euros. If you have a large head, you will generally be better served with the device from SteelSeries. The Turtle Beach 700 Gen 2 fits tightly on large heads.

If you do not want to opt for the 169 Euro Kaira Pro or equally expensive alternatives, you can consider the regular Kaira model. Here, you will have to forgo the internal microphone and Bluetooth. However, the internal microphone is negligible.

Listen to a discussion about the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on the MeinMMO podcast. Will the integration of Cold War into the successful Warzone succeed?
The location is known from earlier “Black Ops” installments and was a test area for combat agents, such as weaponized nerve gases. The roadmap for Season 1 of Black Ops Cold War shows a cut-off name here that players have identified as “Vozrozhdeniya Island.” On this island, Soviet experiments with such combat agents were indeed carried out in the past, bringing the circle back.
However, no further details are currently available. It remains unclear whether it will be a map of Verdansk proportions or rather a DLC map, like the “Alcatraz” from the first CoD Battle Royale Blackout. Leaks have already shown hints about this Blackout map in Warzone.
Here you will find more information about the connection between Warzone & Cold War:
When is all of this coming? So far, the CoD developers have communicated that Warzone will receive a wave of “Cold War” content upon the release of the first season on December 10. This especially applies to the new map, as a “classified Warzone experience” has been teased here.
However, perhaps you can already expect some new features in the Battle Royale with the release of Cold War on November 13. But the more likely date for this is currently December 10. If you are still unsure whether to jump into Cold War at release, then take a look here: 7 things you should know before buying the new Black Ops.
It is still unclear whether you can loot or buy the killstreak or if you can only get it through the contract.

How was this discovered? Both items are already completely functional in the game, but not yet available in public matches. Players found the new mechanics in Warzone training.
Currently, the killstreak does so much damage that it can knock out an opponent in one go. However, it is still unclear if this will remain the case until the gadget goes online. So far, there is no further information about the updates, and there was also no mention of them in the patch notes for the large update 1.29.

However, the sensor does not have height indicators, so you will need to carefully examine your surroundings to find the box. Once you find and open the box, you get a little dirty cash and apparently also another new feature of the Warzone in your pocket: the popular “Black Ops” killstreak RC-XD.
You will receive a special sensor in hand to find a box. Source: CharlieIntel
Cool killstreak from Black Ops brings new tactical options
What kind of killstreak is this? The RC-XD is a remote-controlled bomb, which has also been confirmed as a scorestreak from the new Cold War. A decent explosive load has been mounted on a mini pickup truck, along with a camera.
You control the remote-controlled car similarly to the drone, which you can also use as a mobile supply station. Upon activation, you cannot control your character and instead sit in front of a small screen, guiding the mini car towards the opponent.
This device offers strong tactical possibilities and adds a meaningful killstreak to the Warzone. With it, you can not only attack your enemies from a safe distance but also scout them out.
It is still unclear whether you can loot or buy the killstreak or if you can only get it through the contract.

The Call of Duty: Warzone gets a new “Cold War” style. The first content is already in the game, but not yet active.
What has been found so far? The Cold War dominated the global political climate for many years and seems to want to have a similar impact on the Warzone. Even before the release of the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, players already found some items and hints in the game indicating what Cold War has planned for the Warzone.
New killstreak already in the game: the explosive car RC-XD
A new contract comes immediately: radioactive search
Leaderboard for the new map is in the game: Rebirth
MeinMMO shows you what these new hints are all about.
Bomb car RC-XD comes with its own contract to Battle Royale
How does the contract work? With the new contract, you are tasked with searching for a box containing radioactive material. You will be given some time and a modified heartbeat sensor in your hand, which will guide you to the box instead of to the next opponent. The sensor takes the place of your field upgrade.
This device is basically a Geiger counter. Such devices work with a gas filling and react to ionizing radiation. This radiation affects atoms, and the reaction of the gas within a Geiger counter leads to a clicking sound, indicating ionizing radiation in the vicinity.
With this device, you can slowly work your way toward the box. The closer you get, the stronger the clicking will be. Once you are close enough, you will see the box as a point on the sensor, similar to the heartbeat sensor when an enemy is nearby without the “Ghost” perk.
However, the sensor does not have height indicators, so you will need to carefully examine your surroundings to find the box. Once you find and open the box, you get a little dirty cash and apparently also another new feature of the Warzone in your pocket: the popular “Black Ops” killstreak RC-XD.

Joey Chiu receives his signed PlayStation 4: Image source: Kotaku.com
Joey Chiu is the first PS4 buyer in New York
This is how Chiu bought the first PS4: In a conversation with Kotaku in 2013, Chiu explained how he went about it after the sales start.
He filled a thermos and made his way to the Standard Hotel in Manhattan, where the sale began. At that time, he did not expect to be the first:
That was fine with me because at the end of the day, there would be 444 units for sale, and I wanted to take one of those home, not necessarily the first [console].
User receives PS5 from Sony: This is how the community reacts
In the official PS5 subreddit, there is discussion about Sony’s gesture. Some can’t help but poke fun. For example, DaftFunky writes in the PS5 subreddit:
I’m cracking up, the guy who designed the damn console didn’t even get one from Sony, but they send this guy a free device.
What do you think? Do you appreciate Sony’s gesture towards him? Would you have stood in the cold for hours to be the first to get a PS4? Or do you not care when you hold your PS5 in your hands?
The MMORPG Crowfall has revised its skill system at the players’ request. Now everyone can create their own build.
What changes with the new update? The currently ongoing beta of the MMORPG Crowfall has received a major update called “The Revival.” This fundamentally revises the skill system of the MMORPG. This aims to allow players to create unique characters tailored to their play style.
In Crowfall, you fight effectively against AI enemies with your individually designed hero.
Create unique heroes in Crowfall
What exactly is changing? The developers want to give players more options for developing their characters so that they can easily express their personal play style. To this end, the team is expanding the character specialization system with an additional layer.
These are the domains. Domains provide players with the choice between 15 different bundles of disciplines. Depending on your class, you can select one discipline from a set of three.
Domains are thematically related to specific play styles, such as the Domain of War for fighters or the Domain of Shadows for assassins.
Disciplines can also appear in more than one domain. For example: If you want to wield the power of the ghost army, you need the primary discipline Grim Reaper. This discipline can be found in both the domains of Plague and Death… Thus, assassins, duelists, rangers, frost weavers, knights, and Myrmidons can choose it.
The new skill system in Crowfall allows you to play the hero you truly want to be.
What does this bring exactly? Through the domains, it is possible to further specialize your characters by combining the disciplines from one domain with other powers and the promotion class, a kind of specialization.
This then allows for example poison buffs, through which you can poison enemies or stack additional poison enhancements to increase the effect. Thus, two players with the same subclass can differ significantly due to their disciplines. Crowfall could truly become one of the most exciting new western MMORPGs.
What do the developers say about this new system: The team explains that the changes came about due to player feedback from the beta. They wanted more options for customization:
This update is a tribute to our players, as it was their feedback that inspired us to innovate the system. The system allows players to be the architect of unique builds for their character – the power lies in the hands of the players, limited only by their imagination.
At Destiny 2, the release of Beyond Light has finally arrived. The action MMO has recorded record player numbers, but many Guardians couldn’t even get into the game. How did it go for you?
This is what many Destiny players have been waiting for: Yesterday, on November 10, it finally happened, and after long delays, the release of the expansion Destiny 2: Beyond Light took place, as well as the new Season 12. At the same time, the start of Year 4 for Destiny 2 began, which Bungie discussed in an interview with MeinMMO.
The launch was so successful: Since Destiny 2 moved to Steam, we can see the exact player numbers there. And they are impressive at the start of Beyond Light:
At peak, 241,843 players played simultaneously
This placed Destiny 2 in third place on Steam, with only DOTA 2 and CS:GO being more popular
This is the second highest value that Destiny 2 has ever achieved here: the peak value of 292,513 occurred during the move and launch on Steam
Currently, on November 11 at 09:05 AM, 141,269 Guardians are playing Destiny 2 simultaneously
The sharp decline in the graph is explained by the long server downtime on 10.11.20 – Source: Steam
Despite preparation, Beyond Light had launch issues
To prepare for the launch of Beyond Light, players had to practice patience.
For 14 hours, the servers were supposed to be unreachable due to maintenance.
Only with the launch of the expansion on November 10 at 6:00 PM was it possible to log back into Destiny 2.
To relieve the servers and to make optimal use of the involuntary break, the massive patch for Beyond Light (60-70 GB) was already available as a preload in advance.
Just before the lights went out until Beyond Light, a live event took place – unfortunately for us in the German-speaking world in the middle of the night. Read here how MeinMMO author Philipp Hansen experienced the closing of “old Destiny 2”:
This is how the release of Beyond Light went: Despite the preparations, it quickly became clear that relaxed gaming of the new content was impossible on November 10 – at least for many players.
At the planned start at 6:00 PM, the lights did not come on. Around 6:20 PM, the message came that the servers were back online. The 20-minute delay was still bearable for this new chapter of Destiny.
But unfortunately, many Guardians couldn’t set foot in the new location Europa all evening:
There were queues where Guardians suddenly slipped from position 3,000 to 12,000.
Others couldn’t even get to the queue; they couldn’t get past the login screen of Destiny 2 and error messages.
Those who did manage to get into the game were often permanently interrupted by the message “Attention: Servers are being contacted” or were kicked out completely – only to find themselves back in the queue.
Bungie announced around 9:00 PM that the planned maintenance had to be extended by 4 hours.
At times, Xbox Live also had serious issues – annoying for everyone who wanted to test Beyond Light through Game Pass.
The wait for Beyond Light wasn’t over for many
How was the launch of Beyond Light for you?
Participate in the survey: We at MeinMMO would like to know from you: how did the DLC launch go for you? We have prepared a survey that you can participate in here.
Keep in mind, each of you has one vote in the poll, which cannot be changed. So choose wisely. We thank you for participating.
You can also share your experiences in the comments under this article with other Guardians and justify your decision.
How do you approach such a large expansion? Do you enjoy the story first, inspect all changes closely, or do you just start grinding?

Despite the new update, Marvel’s Avengers does not seem to be turning around. The new game is losing players on Steam, causing a downward spiral. Because those who are still there can hardly play properly now.
Today, on November 11, the game peaks at 717 players in the past 24 hours. At the lowest point, only 337 players were online at the same time, with a downward trend.
You can clearly see the downward trend in the chart from SteamCharts.com
A low player count is generally not a nice image for a game. For an MMO like Avengers, it’s even tougher, as players rely on teammates and multiplayer is a major focus.
Fewer players lead to even fewer players
This is the problem: In Avengers, almost all endgame content is designed for cooperative gameplay, meaning playing with other players. Some content can be completed with AI teammates, but for the toughest challenges, you need human players.
Co-op is an important feature for Avengers. However, it only works with teammates.
Since players can no longer find teammates, they cannot properly play some content. This leads to frustration—and ultimately to them also stopping playing Avengers. A downward spiral that results in even fewer players.
What’s next? The declining player counts are not advantageous for the studio and publisher Square Enix either. Already, Avengers has caused a multi-million loss—but Square has remained optimistic so far. Perhaps the player counts on PlayStation 4 are looking better.
Might Avengers also experience a new surge when PlayStation 5 is released and players can play in better quality? Owners of Marvel’s Avengers on PS4 ultimately get a free upgrade to a PS5 version. However, this will only happen in 2021.

In Pokémon GO you can now submit your own Stop proposals starting from Level 38. We will show you what you should keep in mind to ensure that the proposals are accepted.
What’s new? On the evening of November 10, 2020, Niantic announced a change regarding the submissions of PokéStop proposals. Previously, proposals could only be submitted once a Trainer reached Level 40.
This requirement has now been reduced by the Niantic team. You can now submit Stop proposals as soon as you have reached Level 38.

What does this bring? With this feature, you can influence how many Stops or Gyms appear in Pokémon GO. You can photograph important places in your vicinity and suggest them as Stops. If they are recognized, you will soon have another option in Pokémon GO to obtain items or fight in Gyms and earn coins.
How to submit Stops in Pokémon GO
What to do in-game? The function for submitting proposals is really straightforward.
Start Pokémon GO
Now tap on the Pokéball in the middle of the bottom screen
Select the “Settings” option
Scroll down
Almost at the bottom of the overview, you’ll find the category “Player Proposals”
Here you have the option to suggest a new Stop.
This graffiti is suitable as a PokéStop proposal in your area
After that, the game will guide you through the crucial steps step by step. You will mark the location for the Stop on the map, take photos, and write a description for players and the reviewers.
The reviewers are players from the community. They then check whether a Stop proposal complies with the rules and whether it should be approved. If you want to check and approve Stop proposals yourself, you can do so starting from Level 38.
What should I keep in mind when submitting a Stop?
There are guidelines: Niantic explains exactly what rules the Stop submissions must adhere to. There are places that are ideal for PokéStops:
Historical places with an interesting history
A piece of art or special architecture (statues, paintings, mosaics)
A hidden gem or a locally known place (restaurants, hotels, etc.)
Public parks, libraries, or cultural sites
Transit stations such as train stations or bus stops
Unsuitable are places that are not safe for pedestrians or are on private property. Additionally, temporary objects such as a Ferris wheel at a fair or other objects that will be dismantled after a certain time are also not suitable.
You can read the exact rules on the Niantic website. But we have a few recommendations for you on how to ensure the success of your Stop proposal.
Here are the good chances: We at MeinMMO have closely examined the Stops in Pokémon GO and analyzed them. We noticed 9 locations or things that almost always become a PokéStop.
Churches and memorial sites are important Stops in Pokémon GO that are connected to the history of a place. PokéStops are often created at these locations. City maps are often turned into Stops as they are important for players for orientation.
The release delay of the action RPG Cyberpunk 2077 from November 19 to December 10 still sits heavily on fans, and now the next rumor has emerged: Apparently, Cyberpunk 2077 is to be delayed for the 4th time. The developer studio has now commented on this alleged delay.
What is this rumor about? Insider Tiffany Treadmore Inc. posted a message on Twitter that led to speculation that Cyberpunk 2077 could be delayed again. The person asked: “What if Cyberpunk 2077 is delayed again? What if it doesn’t come out this year?”
Tiffany Treadmore is known mainly for leaks about Nintendo games and has often been right with her statements. This has caused quite an uproar in the community. A further delay of Cyberpunk 2077? So soon after the last one? Do the developers then have to crunch over Christmas and New Year?
How did the developers respond to that? After the rumor spread and speculation arose that CD Projekt Red would remove the release date of Cyberpunk 2077 from promotional banners, Community Lead Marcin Momont spoke out. He simply posted an advertisement for Cyberpunk 2077 on Twitter, showing December 10 as the launch date.
There is now also a statement from the studio to the website IGN. It says:
Generally, we do not comment on rumors or speculations. But I will confirm that we have only taken the time to update all our assets so that the new launch date of December 10 is reflected there.
CD Projekt Red
CD Projekt Red thus explains that they have adjusted the advertising for the game and, for example, also the date on the GOG.com platform to December 10 because this is the planned release date of the action RPG Cyberpunk 2077.
This clearly rules out that there could still be a fourth delay. However, it suggests that they are currently planning firmly for December 10.
Insider says: Delay to January 2021 still likely
What does the insider who spread the rumor think about this? Tiffany Treadmore Inc. reacted to the statement from CD Projekt Red but does not seem convinced by this quasi-denial. According to the person, there are internal discussions that it is very likely that there will be another delay of the release date of Cyberpunk 2077 to January 2021.
In Genshin Impact you can now craft Condensed Resin. But how do you do that and what is the benefit? We explain it in detail.
In Genshin Impact, the first major patch 1.1 is live. It brought numerous new features and also some improvements to the resin system. A new item, “Condensed Resin,” is currently a hot topic. We will reveal how you can obtain the new resin, what you need to do for crafting, and what benefits you can derive from this mechanic.
How to find Condensed Resin? You can craft Condensed Resin yourself. However, you first need to learn a new recipe for Alchemy. You will receive it when you reach Reputation Level 3 in Liyue’s new reputation system. Then you can collect the reward from the reputation character in Liyue.
Don’t forget to open and read the recipe in your inventory afterward so that it appears in your list at the Alchemy table.
At Reputation Rank 3 in Liyue, you receive the recipe – even if the tooltip in German is incorrect.
What does Condensed Resin cost? To craft Condensed Resin, you need several materials. For each unit, you must spend the following:
40x Original Resin
1x Crystal Core
100 Mora
Original Resin is the “energy” resource in Genshin Impact, which regenerates on its own over time. Crystal Cores, on the other hand, can be obtained from Crystalflies. Where to best farm the Crystal Cores is explained here.
In Alchemy, you can craft Condensed Resin.
By the way: When you craft Condensed Resin, this counts as “Daily Used Resin” for the Battle Pass, so you also make progress there.
What is the benefit of Condensed Resin? You can use Condensed Resin to pay costs at petrified trees (Spheres) and Elemental Bounty (Elemental Achievement). You do not need to use Original Resin, but can instead use 1x Condensed Resin.
The reward you receive in this way is then doubled. If an Elemental Bounty would normally grant you 52,000 Mora, it grants you 104,000 Mora when using Condensed Resin. Since crafting one Condensed Resin costs 40x Original Resin each time, the resin cost and reward are identical for both methods.
Nevertheless, Condensed Resin has two practical advantages for the player:
You save time. Instead of spending 8×20 Original Resin, you can simply use 4x Condensed Resin. You will then only need to play half as many Spheres but receive the same amount of loot in half the time.
You can save up Condensed Resin over days and use it on the day that brings you the most. As Spheres bring different rewards every day, you can always “save up” some Original Resin from Monday to Wednesday by converting it into Condensed Resin. Then, if a Sphere is particularly rewarding for your character on Thursday, you can play that Sphere multiple times to obtain coveted materials.
However: You can have a maximum of 3 Condensed Resins – after that, you must consume some before you can craft new ones.
You now have a choice of which type of resin you want to use.
Conclusion: Condensed Resin is more useful than it seems
Do you have little time on some days and want to avoid wasting resin? Then simply convert it into Condensed Resin. This only takes a few moments and can be done in under a minute. This way, you will have more resin available on days you want to play more.
It’s worth having a few Condensed Resins on hand to seize the particularly rewarding days and obtain rewards that your characters really need.

The new consoles Xbox Series X and S were briefly available and are already sold out everywhere. Unless you resort to outrageous offers from third-party sellers on Amazon, who sometimes charge triple the price or more.
What is the situation? The new Microsoft consoles Xbox Series X and the smaller S version finally hit the market on November 10, 2020. However, due to the high demand, the devices were quickly sold out. Particularly unpleasant were delivery issues with online giant Amazon, who sent hundreds of Xbox fans a letter instead of a console, regrettably informing them of the delivery delay by several weeks. You can find this situation and other reactions to the launch here:
However, those searching for the Xbox Series S or X on the US Amazon site will still find consoles, albeit at absurd moon prices.
$1,300 for a console? That’s how much the new Xbox is being sold for
What is currently being asked on Amazon? Besides the official Amazon offer, third-party sellers can also offer goods there. Therefore, some lucky owners of a new Xbox console are selling it as “collectibles” on Amazon. And at hefty prices, straight from the moon:
The “cheapest” Series X you can get for $985. Almost double the price of the retail version
The next offer already costs $1,297
The usual price is $1,399
The most expensive offer is going for $1,590. That’s more than triple the regular price!
What about the Series S? The little sister of the Series X is not doing any better. Absurd prices are also being demanded here. They range from $629 to completely outlandish “offers” over $1,423. Since the little Series S normally only costs $299, that would be almost five times the price!
By the way, similar situations have already occurred with the new PlayStation 5, which hasn’t even been released yet:
In the face of such outrageous offers, one can only hope that no one takes advantage of this opportunity and instead waits until Microsoft supplies new devices to meet the demand. If you want to buy a console, check out our article on the availability of the Xbox Series X or S, maybe you’ll get lucky and still find one.

What can the twins do? The twins are the first killer in Dead by Daylight that consists of two characters. At the beginning, you control Charlotte. She is basically a standard killer with a normal movement speed of 115% and a terror radius of 32 meters.
However, Charlotte can use her power to release Victor from herself. The little brother then climbs out of Charlotte and stays on the ground. If you press the ability button again, you take direct control of Victor while Charlotte remains motionless.
Victor is small and extremely agile. He can charge a leap attack to jump over some obstacles. If he hits a healthy survivor with his jump, then Victor attaches to them, injures them, and inflicts the statuses “Broken”, “Oblivious”, and “Mangled”. The victim cannot enter lockers or leave the map through the gate during this time. Auras of survivors nearby are revealed. The survivor can perform the action “Remove” to strike Victor down.
Charlotte and Victor – Aren’t they cute?
If Victor crashes into an object with his leap attack, he is briefly stunned. Even then, survivors can strike him down.
If Victor is struck down, he grows back into Charlotte after a short time, until he is operational again.
However, Victor can do even more. The killer can leave Victor anywhere and take back control of Charlotte. In that case, Victor reveals all survivors nearby with the “Killer Instinct” effect. However, Victor can also be struck down in this state.
A bit of gameplay from the new killer is shown by the YouTuber D3EA Plays:

Like all killers, the twins also have three perks that are initially only available to them. Once the teachable version is unlocked in the bloodweb, all other killers can also find these perks in their bloodwebs.
Hoarder: Two additional chests are created in the match, the quality of the items in those chests is reduced. The killer gets a signal when a survivor starts searching a chest within a radius of 24 / 36 / 48 meters.
Suppression: When the killer damages a generator, up to 3 additional generators are damaged. If survivors are present on these generators, they receive a hard skill check. This perk can only be used once every 120 / 100 / 80 seconds.
Last Rites: Every time a generator is fully repaired, the killer receives a token. He can use a token to increase the attack range of his next strong attack by 100%.
These are the perks of the survivor Elodie Beamount
Of course, the new chapter also brings a survivor, this time the woman Elodie Beamount. Like all survivors, Elodie has three unique perks that are initially only available to her. However, you can unlock them in the bloodweb as teachable perks and then also find them with other survivors in their bloodwebs.
Assessment: The survivor starts the round with 3 tokens. If a chest has already been opened, a token can be used to search that chest again. Additionally, the survivor opens chests 40% / 60% / 80% faster.
Deception: While the survivor is sprinting, they cannot enter lockers, but instead create a loud noise at the location of the locker. For the next 3 seconds, the survivor leaves no scratch marks. Deception can only be triggered once every 60 / 50 / 40 seconds.
Wild Escape: When the survivor is carried by the killer, they must escape up to 35% / 30% / 25% to activate the perk. Once done, the survivor can knock down an upright pallet nearby – if available – to stun the killer and free themselves. After that, the perk is deactivated.
Elodie is good at opening chests. Even when they have already been opened.
When will the chapter be released? There is no release date for the chapter “A Binding of Kin” yet. Usually, this is 2 – 3 weeks after the trailer, so around the end of November or early December. However, on PC, you can download the PTR via Steam to try out the new killer or the new survivor.
What do you think of the twins and their abilities? A cool idea? Or is it going too far?
Destiny 2 will run even better on the next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X than initially announced – but only in the Crucible. There, players can look forward to a high frame rate.
This should please many PvP enthusiasts: The new expansion Beyond Light as well as Season 12 have started for Destiny 2. This opens a big new chapter in Bungie’s action MMO.
However, many Destiny players can expect something big in the coming weeks and months – namely the switch to the new consoles Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. Many will continue their journey as Guardians on next-gen.
And now there’s some good news again – at least for those who like to play PvP in Destiny 2 as well. Because in the Crucible, Destiny 2 will run even better on the new consoles than previously announced by Bungie.
Destiny 2 on Next-Gen even better than announced – at least in PvP
This has now been announced: During the “Xbox Series X Global Launch” live stream, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons announced the good news together with Xbox head Phil Spencer. During a round of Destiny 2, it was stated that the Crucible, that is the PvP of Destiny 2, will run at 120 on the next-gen consoles.

Even though this happened in an Xbox stream – Bungie has already confirmed that alongside the Xbox Series X, the PS5 will also support 120 FPS in PvP.
By the way, the rest of the game apparently runs as announced at 60 FPS.
Therefore, this is so important for many: On PS4 and Xbox One, Destiny 2 runs at only 30 FPS. And since Destiny 1, at least 60 FPS have been one of the biggest wishes of many players. Upon the launch of Destiny 2, this wish was still unfulfilled, but with next-gen, it is finally being fulfilled – and even better than initially thought.
Because Bungie has already outlined the main data for Destiny 2 on the Xbox Series X as well as on PS5. Until now, it was stated that the game would run at 60 FPS and 4K and have an adjustable FoV. Now it has been added that in the Crucible it will even be 120 FPS – whether in 4K and immediately at the console launch (or only on December 8) is not known, Spencer and Parsons did not go into detail. But more details are expected to follow soon.
What do you think about this? Are you excited about this performance boost in the Crucible or do you not care about such things? By the way, the next-gen upgrade for Destiny 2 will not be available immediately at the launch of the new consoles. Details can be found here: Upgrade for PS5 & Xbox Series X only in December – Here’s what’s included
