CoD Cold War: How to get the rarest weapon skins in multiplayer – Here’s what you need to do

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 6 minutes

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War offers weapon skins for your weapons again, including the coveted Gold, Diamond, and DM-Ultra Camos. However, you need to complete challenges and grind quite a bit. We explain what you need to do in multiplayer mode to unlock skins for your weapons.

What are Camos? In CoD games, Camos refers to skins and camouflage for your weapons. To hold something other than the factory version of the weapon in your hands, you will need to put in the effort and complete a series of challenges for each weapon class. In this article, we only cover the Camos from the multiplayer mode. The zombie mode has different Camos.

Almost no one wants to run around with the standard skin

The tasks are the same for each weapon of a class, but you need to complete the challenges individually for each weapon. So focus first on your favorite weapons.

However, it is worth it, as this allows you to show your teammates how good you are and how much time you have invested in the game.

Currently, there are seven categories of weapon camos that indicate the pattern of the color. You unlock them one by one as you level up your weapon:

  • Spray Paint: Available from the start
  • Stripes: Weapon level 5
  • Classic: Weapon level 10
  • Geometric: Weapon level 20
  • Flora: Weapon level 30
  • Science: Weapon level 40
  • Psychedelic: Weapon level 50
  • cod cold war camos science
    The pattern “Science”
  • cod cold war camos stripes
    The pattern “Stripes”
  • cod cold war camos spray paint

  • cod cold war camos geometric
    The pattern “Geometric”
  • cod cold war camos flora

  • cod cold war camos psychedelic

How do you get camos? Each weapon has 5 regular levels in each of the above-mentioned Camo categories. The requirements are below in the challenge descriptions.

How do you get Gold camo? If you have unlocked all 5 Camos in all 7 categories for a weapon (so 35 Camos), you will receive the coveted Gold skin for that weapon. MeinMMO shows you what challenges you need to master to obtain all 35 Camos.

Ex-girlfriend of Riot employee says: She is the template for new LoL champ

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 4 minutes

A woman named Stephanie claims that the latest League of Legends champion Seraphine is based on her. This is said to relate to both visual and character aspects. She explains that she had a relationship with a Riot Games employee for a while, who wanted to impress her but took it too far. However, the developers themselves deny the accusation.

What does Stephanie claim? On Medium.com, Stephanie published a post titled “The Problem with Seraphine.” There, she talks about her past with the Riot employee, with whom she spent about 3 months, but also about the similarities between herself and Seraphine.

In this context, the player emphasizes that she is not thrilled to now be part of League of Legends. She is said to no longer enjoy the MOBA, primarily due to the new champion.

She describes the entire situation as very stressful:

  • People who do not know Stephanie at all are reaching out to her and pointing out the similarities with Seraphine.
  • Additionally, there is already a lot of pornographic material related to Seraphine.
  • The heroine is also controversial: people complain and get upset about Seraphine almost daily.

She feels disturbed by the many similarities in her privacy and is not happy that a large corporation is making a lot of money off of her.

What does Riot Games say about it? In an official statement, Riot denies Stephanie’s allegations. They emphasize that the character Seraphine “is not based on a real person,” including not on Stephanie.

The former Riot employee, with whom Stephanie had a relationship, is said to have left the company more than a year ago. He also worked in a department unrelated to character design.

Similar appearance and love for K/DA and cats

Stephanie continues to hold her allegations even after Riot’s statement. Although she does not believe that Seraphine was created solely based on her, she contests the claim that she is not based on a real person at all.

She sees this as justified by the fact that the developers themselves revealed via Twitter that Whiskies, a Riot employee with pink hair, may have served as inspiration.

What does Stephanie point out as similarities? For her similarities, she presents several points in her blog post:

  • The very similar name
  • The visual similarity. Before her first meeting with the Riot employee, she dyed her hair pink, just like Seraphine
  • Her love for the virtual band K/DA. Seraphine shares this as well. The champion has already sung their songs on social media and even got a performance in the song MORE
  • She herself wrote an essay about the relationships between the LoL factions Piltover and Zaun. The story of Seraphine also revolves around these two factions
  • Her rebellious phase. Before the first meeting, she moved to a completely new city and focused on her first job. Seraphine is also considered an optimistic character who is determined to pursue her dreams
  • Her love for cats. There is also a picture showing both characters and their pets in similar positions
lol Seraphine real person cat

Where do the similarities come from? Stephanie explains the strong similarities by stating that she had a brief relationship with a Riot employee in early 2019, whom she only refers to as “John” in her post.

Riot employee allegedly used Stephanie as a template

What kind of relationship was it? Stephanie is said to have met John in March 2019 through Tinder while she was at several job interviews. According to Stephanie, they communicated for several months, played LoL together, and occasionally met.

The relationship ended in May/June. Everything moved too quickly for Stephanie, and when she wanted to take it slower, John allegedly broke off contact.

More about League of Legends:

Hints about her and Seraphine: However, Stephanie reports that John made many suggestions during LoL matches. These included remarks like “we should implement that in the game” when she made jokes.

John then invited Stephanie to the Riot headquarters. There, he reported that the essay she wrote about Piltover and Zaun had been read by several Riot employees.

Additionally, she was shown an illustration of herself, in which she was drawn as a new skin for K/DA-Ahri.

John is also said to have promised her that there would be a surprise related to K/DA on her birthday. That is on September 19, which is the day Seraphine announced via Twitter that she was collaborating with K/DA.

What happens now? As Riot has already stated, there has been contact between the company and Stephanie’s lawyer. The facts are to be clarified there.

The situation between Stephanie and Riot Games is not the first criticism aimed at champion Seraphine. Her abilities have already caused trouble, as many saw them as a clone of the champion Sona.

LoL Seraphine Title
Seraphine is the LoL champion with the most dislikes on YouTube.

There have also been plenty of discussions about the character’s appearance, behavior, and lore. The flamboyant woman with purple hair and self-doubt does not fit for many into the harsh world of Runeterra.

The criticism has even gone so far that players find her too brutal because, according to her story, she has transformed other champions into magical earplugs:

Green blood, $100 million and Microsoft – PUBG Mobile seeks to bypass censorship ban

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The youth of India is crazy about PUBG Mobile (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile), but the authorities there have banned the game. Now, PUBG Corp. is making a new attempt to modify the game so that it can be played in India again. The special thing is: The changes are coming in record time and are radical.

What’s up with PUBG Mobile and India? India is not a traditional gaming market. Neither consoles nor PCs have really established themselves as gaming platforms there. Only powerful, affordable smartphones have opened up the vast country (1.38 billion inhabitants) as a gaming market in recent years.

The first big hit in India was PUBG Mobile. Especially the youth of the country was mad about the shooter. It has become a cult:

PUBG Mobile Title.v1
India is crazy about PUBG Mobile.

But authorities and media watched the shooter with growing skepticism. It was deemed “too violent” for some and not in line with the values of India, as reported by the media. Moreover, the mobile shooter appeared to be truly addictive to the youth, as critically noted.

There were reports on how harmful and even devastating “PUBG” was for the youth of India. There were even strange reports of deaths caused by PUBG: One teenager allegedly drank acid instead of water because he was so engrossed in PUBG.

In September 2020, India even banned PUBG Mobile, along with many other apps: The apps were said to threaten national security.

The accusation was obvious: The apps collected data and transmitted it to China. PUBG Mobile was distributed in India by Tencent, a huge Chinese corporation.

Apparently, tensions at the Indo-Chinese borders contributed to further inflaming the conflict.

India bans game that youth loves – Threatens national security
von Schuhmann

Tencent is out, Microsoft is in, and there’s a big investment

How PUBG is avoiding trouble from China: It quickly became clear that PUBG Corp. wants to bring PUBG Mobile back to India at all costs.

The PUBG Corp. announced shortly after the ban in India that it would part ways with Tencent. They have severed the connection.

As a “new partner,” they have now brought Microsoft on board. They want to use their Azure service to widely distribute PUBG in India.

According to a statement:

The safety and privacy of Indian players are of the utmost priority for PUBG Corporation: The company will conduct regular audits and verifications to ensure the safety of the personal information of Indian users.

It probably doesn’t hurt that the parent company of PUBG Corp. has announced a significant investment in India. KRAFTON plans to spend $100 million and invest in “video game infrastructure” in India.

They plan to open an office that will employ more than 100 people.

Mandatory clothing, game time limit, and green blood

How the game is changing: There are also three changes to the game to reflect “the needs and preferences of Indian users.”

  • Blood is now green in India
  • There is a game limit that allows for “healthy play for teenagers”
  • Players will no longer start PUBG Mobile in their underwear but with an outfit

When “PUBG Mobile India” will be released is still unclear at the moment.

Dr Disrespect and his “Mobile gamers are not real gamers”
von Schuhmann

What’s behind it: PUBG Mobile reached 50 million users per month in India before the ban and created a genuine e-sports scene. In India, there’s a YouTuber named “Sc0ut” who became famous through PUBG Mobile and is as well-known there as Dr Disrespect is here.

Therefore, it was extremely important for PUBG Corp. to bring the game back on the market as quickly as possible.

This shows that it apparently only takes a very short time to make such substantial changes and “adapt” the game for India.

Only 2 months have passed since the ban. Many players would wish that their game could also undergo radical changes that quickly.

PUBG Mobile
PUBG Mobile is extremely successful in India.

In 2019 there was a real campaign in Indian media about how dangerous PUBG Mobile was and that some Indian teenagers had already died because of it.

We picked up one of the reports here on MeinMMO, stating that PUBG was responsible for the deaths of 2 men at the railway tracks:

Liverpool forward Jota finds himself too weak in FIFA 21 – complains about unfair rating

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

In Liverpool, newcomer Diogo Jota is now a key player. However, his rating in FIFA 21 does not reflect this, which the player has now commented on.

For 45 million euros, the Portuguese winger transferred to Liverpool FC this summer. Since then, he has scored 7 goals in 11 matches for the English champions.

And even in the preseason, when he was still playing with Wolverhampton Wanderers, his performance was strong: He scored 16 goals and provided 6 assists. However, EA did not adjust his FIFA 20 rating and kept it at 80 for FIFA 21, even though he excelled in the Europa League with 8 goals.

This is exactly what bothers the player, as he reveals in an interview with a Portuguese TV channel.

This is Diogo Jota’s card in FIFA 21

Diogo Jota criticizes EA Sports for rating

This is what the professional says: In the interview, Jota said about EA:

I believe they were surprised that I transferred to Liverpool. They probably thought I would stay at Wolverhampton and did not bother to upgrade my card.

I have the same ratings as last year, even though I was one of the top scorers in the Europa League; they simply didn’t care.

However, the player became somewhat more conciliatory afterwards, saying: “As long as I get my 99 card, which apparently every pro can get, I’m happy.” However, this card will likely only be played by Jota himself.

That he would use it is very likely, as Jota is not only strong on the right football pitch but also on the virtual pitch. There he is probably the best FIFA player among football professionals:

But maybe Jota will be rewarded by EA for his good performances this season. With good performances, he could collect Inform cards and thus help his OTW card to get the first upgrades.

What do you think about Diogo Jota’s rating? Does he deserve an upgrade?

Here you can find the Bundesliga players who have received the biggest upgrades in FIFA 21.

Genshin Impact has launched the closed beta for Patch 1.2 in China. Leaks from the test show new playable characters and a new snowy area.

Where do the leaks come from? With the release of Update 1.1, the developer miHoYo immediately started working on the next upcoming content of Genshin Impact. Accordingly, the closed beta for Update 1.2 started on the test servers in China.

Some participants of this beta have posted on reddit and social media screenshots of what players can expect in the update. Additionally, more images have been datamined from the beta code.

Dragonspine Mountain as a new area

This is the new area: Along with the patch notes for Update 1.1, miHoYo also released a small roadmap of upcoming updates. Patch 1.2 is planned for December 23 and will bring a new area: Dragonspine Mountain.

On Twitter and reddit, there are now screenshots of the area and an image of the map:

This is Albedo: On the left side of the image, you can see the character Albedo, who has been mentioned multiple times in dialogues and the lore of Genshin Impact. He is an alchemist and the mentor of the character Sucrose. He also leads the Investigation Team of the Knights of Favonius as captain.

The “chalk prince” Albedo is considered a genius, well-liked in Mondstadt, and is said to be good with children. Even the impulsive Klee listens to his instructions. Gameplay-wise, he is a Geo character who uses a bow.

This is Ganyu: On the right side of the image, you can see Ganyu, who is the ambassador and secretary of the Liyue Qixing. You can encounter her in the game during the main story.

Ganyu is a calm and reserved character, deeply devoted to the Geo God Rex Lapis. Keqing suspects that such blind devotion was triggered by a formative event in the past. Ganyu also uses a bow, but with the Cryo element.

There are rumors that despite his youthful appearance, Xiao is thousands of years old. One should not be deceived by his polite nature, as he is said to be extremely dangerous and a powerful fighter.

Dataminers have found a whole range of other characters in the beta client of Genshin Impact, who may soon appear in the game.

Destiny 2 brings iconic exotic Hawkmoon back – How and when to get the weapon?

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, players are searching for the popular Exotic Hawkmoon. We now know how you can obtain the Exotic revolver in Season 12 – and we already have an initial idea of the returner’s overhaul.

This is what it’s about: The revolver Hawkmoon is an Exotic that players know and love from Destiny 1. Even before the recently released expansion Beyond Light, Destiny director Luke Smith got the Guardians excited about their “baby” Hawkmoon.

However, so far there is no trace of the weapon. Now it is officially confirmed when you can expect the Exotic and how you will obtain Hawkmoon. MeinMMO presents you with the latest info.

How to get Hawkmoon: You will not receive Hawkmoon as part of Beyond Light, but in Season 12. The Season of the Hunt has already partly started, but will officially kick off on November 17.

  • You will receive Hawkmoon as a quest reward in Season 12.
  • The quest is only available to owners of the Season of the Hunt.
  • We do not yet know exactly when the quest will start. However, Season 12 ends on February 9, and Hawkmoon must be in the game by then at the latest.

The coveted Exotic is therefore guaranteed and is not tied to your loot luck. You just have to be a little patient; it is also possible that the quest goes live right at the reset on Tuesday.

Hawkmoon Exotic Destiny 2 Season 12
Hawkmoon is available as a quest reward in Season 12

In the Season of the Hunt, you will acquire the coveted returner

Why do Guardians love Hawkmoon so much? One reason for its popularity is the aesthetics of the Exotic. Revolvers are already favored among Guardians. When the weapon is characterized by simple elegance and a hint of danger, it is gladly used.

Furthermore, there’s the power fantasy that Hawkmoon catered to: Random rounds in the magazine could deal enormous damage – but it was a kind of gambling. If Fortuna was kind, enemy Guardians would drop after a shot.

In the early days of Destiny 1, PvP was dominated by the “Trinity of Exotic Hand Cannons”. Guardians nostalgically remember this, and in Destiny 2, the Trinity is once again complete with Hawkmoon, “The Last Word“, and “Dorn“.

More about the new Exotics from Beyond Light and Season 12 can be found here:

How strong is Hawkmoon in Destiny 2? The exact perks of the Exotic are still unknown. However, we know that Hawkmoon will not rely on the high luck factor anymore.

In the trailer for Season 12, the weapon plays a prominent role:

  • Hawkmoon takes down an enemy Guardian in PvP with 3 critical hits – therefore, it is probably a 140 hand cannon (as it was in Destiny 1).
  • Immediately after that, the Exotic lights up and takes down the next Guardian with just one loaded shot.
  • Keep in mind, we do not know how many hits Hawkmoon landed prior or if the second Guardian had full health.

Less luck but other attributes

Are you looking forward to the Exotic and curious about the new version? Do you think it should slowly come to an end with the Exotic returners, or would you gladly make an exception for Hawkmoon? Let us know in the comments.

When the quest goes live in Season 12, we will provide you with tips or guides on MeinMMO as quickly as possible to master the task. If you are still struggling with improving your Stasis focus, you can find help here: Destiny 2: Here’s how to find all 9 Entropic Shards for “Aspect of Control”

Our special issue on WoW Shadowlands explains everything you need to know in the new addon

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 4 minutes

With Shadowlands, a lot is changing in World of Warcraft – from the new maximum level to a completely new leveling experience to the professions. With our new special issue, you have the perfect guide at hand to find your way around.

On November 24, the new expansion Shadowlands was released. With the new addon, Blizzard is not only completely revamping the leveling system – the maximum level is again 60, just like in Classic – but it also brings a lot of innovations.

Although Blizzard spoiled my favorite class with the changes, I’m already having a great time with Shadowlands. New raids and dungeons, a pretty cool story, and a reunion with old acquaintances … and then there’s Torghast, this huge tower full of crazy possibilities! In my 15 years of almost continuous play, this tower could be the best thing that has ever happened to the game.

We from MeinMMO – specifically, Cortyn and I – have teamed up with GameStar to put together a new special issue for you. You can already pre-order it now and have all the important information about the new addon practically in hand.

GameStar and MeinMMO are sister sites and both belong to Webedia Gaming GmbH. This edition of the GameStar special issue is powered by MeinMMO. There’s a little preview here.

Benedict from MeinMMO
Benedict Grothaus has been a freelance author at MeinMMO for 3 years and has been playing World of Warcraft for 15 years. During that time, he has experienced all expansions, played through almost every raid, and lost himself in Azeroth for many hundreds of hours. His favorite class is the Bard, which he hopes will come to the game since an April Fool’s joke from Blizzard. Until then, he is content with Rogues, Death Knights, and Warriors.

Class Changes and Guides

You already know that my beloved Outlaw Rogue in Shadowlands is no longer what I want him to be. Fortunately, every class has received updates, and many of them have become really attractive again.

Many old abilities have returned, and several specializations now have new ways of being played – like the Fury Warrior with one-handed weapons.

In the magazine, you will find a handy guide for each class with useful tips on playstyle, the most important changes, and the best talents to utilize for beginners. Ideal if you’re looking to try a new class with the new addon.

Legendarys – The Best Items You Ever Hated

Introduced in Legion with mixed feelings among players, legendary items return with Shadowlands. They are the best items you can obtain in the game.

The armors, rings, and necklaces come with various effects that enhance your class and abilities. In Shadowlands, however, they have a special twist: You simply craft them.

Instead of relying on luck and the right perk, you specifically choose what attributes your Legendary should have – including secondary stats. The system is closely intertwined with the new professions.

To craft legendary items, you first need the right base items. You can only get them from blacksmiths, leatherworkers, and other crafting professions. Both for the Legendaries and the professions, you will find detailed guides in the magazine that explain everything you need to know.

The Covenants of Shadowlands

The core feature of Shadowlands will be the four covenants you can join:

  • Kyrian
  • Night Fae
  • Nekrolords
  • Venthyr

You swear allegiance to one of these covenants and receive stylish cosmetics, mounts, and pets – and more importantly: new skills. Each covenant provides you with a covenant ability and another one for your respective class.

Cortyn explains to you in several pages how exactly it works and what you get for joining one of these exclusive societies.

Torghast, the (Almost) Endless Tower

The probably best feature WoW has ever received and may ever receive is Torghast. In this endgame content, you can spend hours farming materials for legendary items or simply cosmetics.

The tower offers high replayability with its roguelike approach and even had me playing a Mage in the Beta – I was so eager to explore this tower!

In the different wings and levels of the tower, you choose completely new perks that alter your abilities. Alone or as a group, you can come up with crazy builds and get to know your class all over again.

I don’t always agree with Cortyn, but even the cheeky demon says: “I was only in Torghast for an hour and became instantly addicted!“

Post-apocalyptic MMORPG returns via Steam, is about to be slammed

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

A new post-apocalyptic MMORPG called The Skies: Reborn has launched on Steam. However, players are not particularly enthusiastic.

What kind of game is this? The Skies: Reborn is the free-to-play re-release of the post-apocalyptic MMORPG The Skies, which launched in Early Access in 2016. However, the first version never made it past the EA phase.

In the game, civilization on Earth has collapsed due to increased solar activity. Now, 150 years later, the reclaiming of the planet is set to begin.

  • You can expect a large world of 12 km², where you will travel on foot and by vehicles.
  • You must fight against gangs and mutants, as well as in PvP against other players in fast shooter battles. To do this, you will improve your hero’s skills and craft or find powerful equipment.
  • Your weapons can be improved over time.
  • In dialogues with NPCs, it is possible to make decisions that will impact the world.
  • It is possible to become a merchant, clan leader, bandit, or even the mayor of your own city and boost the in-game economy together with other players.

The trailer for the MMORPG The Skies: Reborn should get you in the mood for the adventure:

The Skies: Reborn is getting a negative reception from players

How is the game being received? After launching on November 12, the game currently has a rating of only 14 % on Steam and is marked as “Negative.” Critics claim that it looks too poor for a game released in 2020, that it is not optimized, that there are issues with hackers, and that there are still many bugs. In addition, allegations of Pay2Win arise.

However, some players do see potential in the MMORPG.

What do players say about The Skies: Reborn? We have summarized some voices for you:

  • TRUMP: STOPTHESTEAL.US writes on Steam: “The game is absolutely terrible. There are speed hackers everywhere. There is Pay2Win. You can literally buy in-game currency and acquire everything to fully upgrade your character!”
  • •|•Berasedi•|• is quite disappointed: “I don’t know why anyone would publish such an unoptimized game like this. It feels like a 10-year-old downloaded an old version of Blender and Unity and tried to create a Fallout clone for his friends without any experience in game development.”
  • Crez says: “I spoke with a bartender and danced with a fat man with a choking collar, but unfortunately, that is not enough for me to overlook the poor voice acting, the graphics, the skill tree, and pretty much everything that makes a game a game.”
  • Chief Medical Officer Coitus sees it a bit differently: “To be honest? It’s okay. However, it definitely needs a lot more work.”

CoD Warzone: Players invented an improvised killstreak – Now it is officially available

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Call of Duty: Warzone has a new killstreak, a bomb drone. However, this has unofficially existed in the game for a long time, as players built it themselves. Now the developers have officially implemented it. Find out here how it works and where you can get it.

What is the bomb drone all about? Players of the Call of Duty series may be familiar with the many creative ways to use C4. In Black Ops 3, bombs were attached to remote-controlled cars and detonated in groups of enemies.

In Warzone, players do the same with reconnaissance drones. With some tweaking, you can also attach C4 or other objects to create a flying bomb. In this article, you can see how players have made spectacular kills with C4 drones.

The developers probably liked this idea, which is why there is now a secret new killstreak that provides you with such a bomb drone almost ready to use.

By the way, there’s also a new killstreak from Cold War:

What can the bomb do? Essentially, the bomb drone works like the improvised version. It just doesn’t need to be assembled first. Additionally, the explosion is larger than that of regular C4, and you can detonate the explosive on your own without needing to coordinate with a teammate. However, since the bomb is likely only found in special bunkers, it shouldn’t be overpowered.

What fans are saying: In the comments under the Reddit post about the drone, many fans are happy that the developers are honoring something that players originally came up with in this way.

User Freeshout420 summarizes it by saying: “Wow, they took a community tactic that wasn’t intended and made it part of the game. Cool!”

So far, the bomb drone seems to only be found in private and training matches. The developers have not yet brought it into the regular mode. It also did not appear in the patch notes. Private matches are one of the new features that came with patch 1.29 to Call of Duty: Warzone.

LoL: Hope for Faker – T1 buys him the best coaches money can buy

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

In League of Legends, some of the top coaches are changing their teams. The struggling T1 around superstar Faker has now secured the coaching duo from the world champions DAMWON Gaming. DAMWON, in turn, has brought in kkoma, the coach who made T1 world champion three times.

This is what has been happening with T1 lately: The legendary LoL team that became world champion in LoL in 2013, 2015, and 2016 has recently been in a crisis:

World Champion Duo Switches to T1

These are the new coaches for T1 now: T1 has finally announced who they have hired as coaches:

  • Yang “Daeny” Dae-in will be the new head coach; he previously worked at DAMWON Gaming and made them world champions.
  • Lee “Zefa” Jae-min will be the new coach; he was previously the head coach at DAMWON Gaming and had worked at SKT1 before.

The two will exchange their positions: At DAMWON, Zefa was the boss; at T1, it will be Daeny.

lol-daeny
He will be the new head coach and master strategist: Daeny.

It is said that the position change came at Zefa’s request, as he prefers to be a coach rather than a head coach. Daeny now has the task of rebuilding the “dynasty”; he will have full authority to choose players and set the strategy.

Zefa expresses how happy he is to be back at T1. He admits that “he received a good offer”, but what is more important to him is rebuilding the dynasty around T1.

lol-zefa
Zefa was previously at T1 in 2018 and 2019.

The two are likely the best you can buy for money in current LoL. Success proves them right. DAMWON played an outstanding Worlds in 2020, and at no point did it seem like they were faltering or struggling.

They first dominated the LCK in summer with a 16-2 record, then wiped out their opponents from DRX in the LCK playoffs with a 3-0, and at Worlds, they were similarly unstoppable. The European top team G2 had no chance against DAMWON, and DAMWON brought the world championship title back to Korea after it had gone to China in 2018 and 2019.

Who else is coming to T1?

  • The Starcraft coach previously mentioned actually comes on board as General Manager.
  • However, there is no mention of the American coach Nick “LS” De Cesare. Rumors suggest he might still join T1 as an analyst – or not at all.
  • Interestingly, Bae “Bengi” Seong-woong is returning to T1. He was the jungler in the legendary team that made Faker a three-time world champion. He will now coach T1’s academy team.
lol-begni
Considered one of the best junglers of all time: Bengi coaches the youth.

Typical Anime Situation in LoL

What is DAMWON doing now? The world champions from Korea are losing their coaching duo and, in return, hiring kkoma, the legendary world champion trainer from T1.

This is an action straight out of one of those anime where former characters return in new seasons, but in different roles.

LoL-kkoma
Let’s see what he comes up with for DAMWON.

It seems that if Faker really wants to become world champion for the fourth time, he must go past his old coach, who has Showmaker, Nuguri, and Canyon, three of the best LoL players in his team.

This could be challenging.

CVmAx-LoL
He has an incredible story behind him.

Coaches in LoL are mostly not in the spotlight for fans. They set the strategy and determine which player plays which champ. But usually, they tend to stay in the background. One coach from Korea has been more famous than his players in recent years – cvMax.

He was banned for life from LoL for allegedly choking a player, but he made a comeback:

A new dark fantasy MOBA is coming soon to Steam – Here’s what’s inside

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Do you prefer action-packed MOBAs like SMITE? Then the new Kingshunt might be interesting for you. Soon you will get to try it out.

What is Kingshunt? The game is officially referred to as an online multiplayer action game played from a third-person perspective, combining tower defense mechanics with hack and slash combat.

The trailer strongly resembles the MOBA SMITE, but with a significantly darker atmosphere. PvP battles are at the center, where two teams consisting of 5 players each face off against each other. The video shows how it goes down:

This is how the fantasy MOBA Kingshunt plays out.

Kingshunt mixes Hack and Slay with Strategy

What is special about the game? The developers want the battles to be action-packed yet tactical. You are actively attacking like in a hack and slash game, but you need to coordinate your attacks. For example, it is important to watch when the opponent drops cover to attack immediately. Additionally, it is essential to use special abilities strategically, as they significantly influence the outcome of a battle.

The battles are said to be somewhat inspired by Soulslike games like Demon’s Souls or Bloodborne. You need to find the weaknesses of your enemies and exploit them. This is supposed to lead to unique gameplay, where battles are not just mindless action, as this video proves:

https://youtu.be/dhBKYpduPhE
This is how a complete match in Kingshunt unfolds.

How do I participate? The alpha of Kingshunt starts on November 28. You can sign up for the test on the official website. With a bit of luck, you will be selected.

The MOBA is set to launch on Steam in Spring 2021.

What else is interesting? Just like in SMITE, you have the choice between multiple heroes, each with different skills and play styles. You choose the character that suits you best. It is important for the team to use heroes that complement each other due to their abilities.

Additionally, elements from tower defense games come into play. In the first phase of the game, you build defensive towers in strategically smart locations. In the second phase, it is necessary to lure the opponents so they can be caught by these towers. This leads to very strategic, yet action-packed gameplay.

Did Destiny 2 deliver with Beyond Light? Here’s how the players see it so far

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

Recently, the new expansion Beyond Light for Destiny 2 has launched. But how is it being received so far? What do the players say? We summarize the mood around Beyond Light after the first few days.

What’s the deal with Beyond Light? Beyond Light is the new expansion for Destiny 2, which started on November 10.

This expansion was highly anticipated, as it brings a new story, fresh gear, a new location, and cool new powers for the Guardians.

Now that many Guardians have fought through the new content and formed their first impressions of Beyond Light, the addon is being discussed vigorously.

The long wait is finally over

How is Beyond Light being received after the first few days?

This is the mood: Generally, many see the new expansion as divided; there is certainly praise, but also much criticism.

The general tone that resonates is: Beyond Light is a good expansion in itself, but it does have some poor or at least questionable design decisions that ruin the experience for many.

What is being praised: Many aspects of the new expansion are well received by the players.

  • The new Exotics are cool. The ones that have been able to be played so far are well received.
  • The new Stasis powers offer numerous new possibilities and are a lot of fun – at least in PvE. More on PvP later.
  • The new soundtrack is well received
  • The new icy location Europa with its snowstorms and mysteries is considered fantastic by many
  • New enemy units bring a breath of fresh air
  • Many find the story itself quite exciting
  • The new beginning for fresh players is well executed and better than the chaotic entry before.
The Guardians unleash themselves on the icy moon Europa

Here comes the criticism: However, there is also criticism – and unfortunately quite a lot of it. At the start, many were still in the honeymoon phase, but as one fights through the new content and spends time in Destiny, many negative points become increasingly evident.

  • Even though the launch was successful, it was also extremely bumpy.
  • On PC, many players are still complaining about performance issues after release
  • The effects of sunsetting, i.e., the so-called weapon sunset, are now really noticeable. This made a large part of the previous firearms useless for the new content, yet there is simply too little new to compensate for this circumstance. While it may improve in the future with new gear, many consider the current state untenable.
  • In general, the diversity of new weapons is criticized. Forsaken reportedly brought 98 legendary/exotic weapons into the game, while Beyond Light has only brought 31 so far.
  • Apart from armor pieces, there was no update of the vendors, whereby the respective new armors are only reskins of each other.
  • Legendaries that drop regularly in the game world are essentially the same as last season
  • In general, Destiny 2 currently offers just too little new loot as a looter shooter.
  • While the new powers are well received in PvE, Stasis breaks PvP and currently ruins the experience entirely for many players.
  • The Forsaken and Shadowkeep expansions still cost extra, yet essentially all of their gear, except for the raids, has been affected by sunsetting. The gear obtained in regular activities there can no longer be effectively utilized in the new content or pinnacle activities.
  • The free-to-play experience now offers a good starting point, but has hardly any noteworthy content. With the release of Beyond Light, New Light lost a significant portion of its content.
  • Once one is through Beyond Light, many players feel that Destiny 2 currently offers too few content for an action MMO. And while the content is indeed good – for how long will it last?

In short: As good as Beyond Light is in many of its new contents, some design decisions dampen the fun for many and currently overshadow even some of the positive aspects that the new expansion brings. Especially the omission of many contents, sunsetting, and not enough new in return – many experienced players seem to be struggling with this. For new players, however, this is less of a problem.

The mood may improve in the coming days and weeks. After all, Season 12 only really starts next week and is likely to bring additional variety – although it does not belong to Beyond Light. Additionally, next week, the new raid in the Deep Stone Crypt starts, which will also bring some new weapons or armor pieces.

In general, the current mood is: Beyond Light brings a lot of good but also some bad, with the bad overshadowing the positives for some, if not outweighing them. They certainly delivered. But whether and for how long that will be enough – remains to be seen. Shortly after launch, certainly not everyone is happy.

Stasis Ice Dark Class Element Destiny 2 Title

Guardians, now it’s your turn

What do you say? How do you view the new expansion after the first few days? Has it convinced you and are you having fun with it? Are you still unsure about what to think? Are you disappointed and possibly regretting the purchase?

Participate in our small survey and let us know. Keep in mind that you only have one answer option. Thank you for your time and participation.

Feel free to share your detailed opinion with us and the readers of MeinMMO in the comments.

By the way, the coming days and weeks may be important for Destiny 2. For many, Destiny 2 stands or falls with its new expansion Beyond Light. It will be exciting to see whether it can convince players in the long run.

Also, our chief editor Gerd Schuhmann has already addressed this topic: Destiny 2 has promised us the future for 6 years – it needs to come now, otherwise it’s over.

A current boss in WoW is so hated that players kill him even without loot

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

In World of Warcraft, players hunt the undead Nathanos Blightcaller. They kill him just for fun and satisfaction – it simply feels too good.

In World of Warcraft, almost everything revolves around loot. Whether it’s dungeons, raids, PvP, or world bosses – players engage with these contents to grab loot. Rarely is there any other motivation to accomplish something in the game. The current boss, Nathanos Blightcaller, represents a curious exception. Some players repeatedly send him to the afterlife just for the joy of it, even when it provides no gameplay advantage.

The Story of Nathanos Blightcaller

Nathanos Blightcaller is one of the oldest characters from World of Warcraft. He was already a boss in the open world in WoW Classic and waited in the Eastern Kingdoms.

His story was quite simple up to that point, although he was already a special snowflake back in the day. He was the only human trained as a ranger by the elves of Quel’thalas. When the Scourge invaded, Nathanos was killed and resurrected as an undead, which is why the Alliance wanted to eliminate him.

Sylvanas then freed Nathanos from the influence of the Scourge and made him her champion. From then on, Nathanos accomplished many tasks, commanded troops, and was also seen as a confidant of the Banshee Queen.

New short stories revealed more about Sylvanas and Nathanos’ past. A small romance between the two during their lifetimes is implied – feelings that, even after their deaths, still resonate at least subtly, although these emotions carry much less significance for the undead.

To further empower Nathanos, Sylvanas even helped him in the short story “The Dark Mirror” to obtain a new body, as his old one was rotting too much. Nathanos’ cousin was captured for this purpose, and Nathanos’ soul was bound into his body. Even today, Nathanos occasionally sees the spirit of his cousin in visions and speaks with him.

WoW Nathanos Mirror
Nathanos with a new body in the short story “The Dark Mirror”.

With his new body, Nathanos took on more tasks for the Banshee Queen. In Stormheim, he led the attack on the Alliance. During the Zandalari campaign, he delegated almost all tasks for Horde players. He was also responsible for the defense of Darkshore after the War of Thorns. Here, he faced great champions like Tyrande Whisperwind and Malfurion Stormrage – fights he survived and escaped from.

In the book “Rise of the Shadows”, the prelude to Shadowlands, Nathanos received another task from Sylvanas. He is to ensure, with the help of some allies, that the Loa of Death, Bwonsamdi, is eliminated. The Zandalari Empire is to be destroyed, thereby weakening the Horde.

Nathanos fails at this task, but is saved again from death. Just before the Alliance and Horde can defeat him, he is enveloped in shadows and taken to Sylvanas Windrunner in Icecrown, who had just shattered the Crown of the Lich King.

However, Sylvanas is extremely dissatisfied that Nathanos has failed in his task. She commands him to return to a location and wait – the estate of Marris. Nathanos must die to follow Sylvanas into the Shadowlands, which is practically his punishment for his failure. This is also where the world quest takes place, where players can fight Nathanos during the pre-event.

If you’re interested in more about WoW, you might also find this appealing:

Nathanos is extremely unpopular with many players

Why is Nathanos so unpopular? Nathanos Blightcaller has developed into an absolute hate character in the eyes of many players in the WoW community over the last expansions. This is due to several reasons:

  • He always has an annoying, arrogant speech in which he mocks everyone else.
  • He is constantly haughty, whether towards the Alliance or as a quest giver for Horde players.
  • He is seen as a sycophant of the Banshee Queen. In the community, he is also referred to as “Sylvanas’ toyboy”. Sometimes, he is even called the “first simp in WoW”.
  • He has escaped final death multiple times. Whether in Lordaeron, Stormheim, or Darkshore, even heroic characters like Tyrande and Malfurion could not defeat him.
  • Often, he escapes with the well-known “Enough!” exclamation. WoW bosses often do this when they are at low HP. Then they cast some sort of mass stun, deliver a small monologue, and disappear. This is something that players often criticize as a cheap escape.

Sylvanas’ little “toy” finally gets extinguished.

Nathanos is killed – Just for fun

Some players are really happy that they can finally fight Nathanos. They even kill the undead ranger multiple times, although there is no loot for it – simply for satisfaction. This was even the case weeks ago when Nathanos prematurely appeared in the Plaguelands due to a bug.

In the WoW subreddit, there were several voices explaining that they “have longed to finally kill Nathanos” – they didn’t care whether this would yield loot or not.

This exchange on the official forums regarding Nathanos from r/wow

Are the players now satisfied? Opinions are mixed here. Many players are happy that they can finally extinguish the life lights of Nathanos to take revenge for all his annoying speeches and “edgy remarks”.

Although not everyone is satisfied since Tyrande “steals” the kill and kills him, many can overlook this because Tyrande looks extremely cool doing it.

Is it finally over with Nathanos? Quite likely not. In the concluding cinematic where Nathanos is killed by Tyrande, he still retains his haughty demeanor. During one of his typical speeches in which he mocks the night warrior, he is killed by her. However, he states that she can kill him because it would send him “directly to Sylvanas”. Through Nathanos’ death, his soul was then sent directly into the Maw and thus into the Shadowlands. It can be assumed that he will appear again in Shadowlands.

CoD Cold War has now launched – Here are the first impressions of the multiplayer

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 5 minutes

The new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has had its worldwide release, and MeinMMO presents the first reactions to this year’s CoD multiplayer mode.

Since when can you play? The new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War opened its digital doors for players around the world at 6 AM (November 13).

Some streamers and content creators, however, were able to get in earlier and have been playing the new Black Ops for a few days, but they couldn’t access the multiplayer servers.

Since 3 PM yesterday afternoon, the servers have been open, and regular players in New Zealand were able to play a bit earlier. Some took advantage of this to play earlier. MeinMMO has therefore taken a look around and gathered impressions from the first hours of Cold War for you.

Players plagued by technical issues

What are the players saying? When Cold War went online for everyone this morning, there were some technical problems. PS4 controllers disconnected, some couldn’t access their weapon blueprints, and the first hour was plagued by server issues:

  • @dedmeat69 on Twitter: “On PS4, all controllers disconnected for me and my 4 friends. You have to restart the console.”

However, the technical problems of the servers do not seem to affect the German/European region. We were able to play right at launch and had no issues connecting to the game or a match. This may be due to the early release. In the USA, servers came online partly still on the evening of November 12, while here at 6 AM, fewer players rushed to the servers.

However, the first hours were accompanied by strong negative feedback. On Twitter, relatively few tweets can be found that speak positively about the release. Veterans know the issues at the launch of a CoD, but that doesn’t make it any better that the servers buckle under the release pressure every year.

Is Warzone a threat to CoD: Cold War?

Listen to the MeinMMO podcast for a discussion about the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Will the integration of Cold War succeed in the successful Warzone?

To the podcast on Spotify

Many improvements but little new content after beta

What are content creators saying? YouTubers and streamers have been able to access the servers for a bit longer and have been shooting each other with those first bullets. The CoD experts TheXclusiveAce and Drift0r have already published English videos with their first impressions.

This is what TheXclusiveAce says: The YouTuber TheXclusiveAce criticizes on his channel mainly the low number of maps. Cold War only offers 8 multiplayer maps for 6vs6 matches, which he finds too few. Especially since 4 of them were already present in the extensive beta, and 2 are just smaller versions of the 12vs12 maps that also made it into the beta.

He is satisfied with the development since the beta: visibility of enemies, weapon handling, aim assist – many points that bothered him in the beta have shown noticeable improvements. However, he cannot overlook the low content volume at launch and sees this as the biggest issue at release. He states that although CoD MW only offered 6 6vs6 maps, there was sufficient content around it, which he does not feel with Cold War.

Only CoD MW 2019 had fewer 6vs6 maps, but more alternative content. Source: YouTube

This is what Drift0r says: Like Ace, Drift0r had his issues in the beta phase – he had no fun. There were severe server disruptions during matches, which are no longer an issue after release. Drift0r also sees the developments since the test phase as positive, but he also talks about the low content in his English YouTube video.

He refers to the roadmap of Season 1 and the release of CoD MW in 2019. With the seasons, many maps were added, and shortly after release, hardly anyone spoke of Modern Warfare having so few 6vs6 maps as no other CoD before.

What he sees as negative is the performance of the game on PC. Drift0r recently switched to a dual-PC solution and now uses 2 PCs for streaming – one for gaming and one for streaming. However, even with his powerful PC, which is no longer burdened by streaming, he had problems with his framerate.

Especially on the large ocean map “Armada”, his framerates dropped to as low as 40 FPS, although he had expected at least stable 100 FPS. However, it’s worth mentioning that he chose quite high graphics settings and played at 1440p. Here, too, he expects an improvement with the next patches.

Summary of release impressions

  • Players are experiencing issues with the servers
  • The performance on PC could be better
  • The release content leaves much to be desired
  • The game has made significant steps in the right direction since the beta

TheXclusiveAce believes that this year at release, you can also recognize the “games-as-a-service” approach of the new CoD generations. The game still feels a bit unpolished for him, just like Modern Warfare did at launch. However, he is optimistic that the state of the game will improve over the next few weeks.

The low content at release could also be somewhat related to the Corona situation, which disrupted many workflows in 2020 and did not spare game developers. However, for players who actively participated in the beta, there are in 6vs6 actually only 2 new maps, which is quite little for a full release.

More information about the release of Cold War can be found here:

Personal conclusion: Better than the beta, but only 2 new maps for 6vs6?

Who is speaking? I am Maik Schneider and mainly work for MeinMMO in the shooter and Call of Duty area. I started with CoD 5 (2008) many years ago in multiplayer and have played every part extensively that has done without robotic features – just like Cold War. Particularly last year, Warzone was my favorite, where I spent hundreds of hours hunting for the next victory.

My wish was fulfilled: I had no server problems this morning, and my controller on PS4 didn’t cause any stress either. What bothered me the most were the many players who were already at a higher level and thus managed much better with the new CoD than I did. Shortly after getting up, I could have imagined something nicer.

But I immediately saw the improvement I wished for compared to the beta – better visibility of opponents. This was, in my opinion, one of the biggest issues during the test phase, as one could not directly recognize enemies in motion in dark areas or backgrounds corresponding to the colors of the operators. This was visibly better, although still not optimal.

Overall, after the first matches, I left the game with a positive feeling and look forward to the weekend to grind through the maps and modes. Even if the new content is indeed rather meager compared to the beta and somewhat diminishes my enjoyment.

But Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is not just about the multiplayer. The Zombie mode and the story campaign are also an important part. If you want to know more about the Cold War campaign, check out the GameStar colleagues’ YouTube video. For them, the campaign is different, but damn good.

Allegedly, the best LoL team in Europe is selling a star for 5 million $ to the USA

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

In League of Legends, G2 Esports is by far the best team outside of Asia. The organization is headquartered in Berlin: The team consists of the best players in Europe. One of them, the mid-laner and ADC Perkz, is now apparently set to be sold. The amount is said to be up to 5 million US dollars. Perkz is expected to move to Cloud 9.

Update 13.11.: G2 has reportedly reached an agreement with Cloud 9. Perkz is expected to play for the US club in 2021 and transition to the LCS. This has been verbally confirmed, according to Jacob Wolf (via twitter).

The deal will be announced on November 16, when transfers can officially take place. The current mid-laner of Cloud 9, Nisq, is expected to leave the team.

Original report from November 10:

Where does the rumor come from? It comes from Jacob Wolf of ESPN. This is “THE source of information” for transfers and contracts in League of Legends. He is quite reliable when reporting from his “sources”.

However, Wolf states: Currently, there are only talks about whether Perkz will be sold. Nothing is certain yet.

This is what the rumor says: Apparently, G2 and Perkz have sought talks with 6 LoL teams:

  • Cloud 9
  • Team Solo Mid
  • Evil Geniuses
  • 100 Thieves
  • Team Vitality
  • and Misfits

Apparently, G2 Esports is looking for a “buyout” of nearly 5 million US dollars. That is about 4.24 million €.

Wolf states: It is still unclear if anyone will accept this deal.

This is understandable: Because the buyout is huge. It is unusual for such high transfer fees to be paid in LoL.

LoL Zven ADC Title
This is Zven, the ADC of Cloud 9. He would reunite with Perkz.

Successor for Bjergsen or new partner of Zven

Which teams are in consideration? According to Wolf, the desired team is supposedly Cloud 9. There, Perkz would switch to the mid lane and form a strong duo alongside Zven in the bot lane. With Vulcan in the support role, they have another strong player on the team.

Zven originally came from G2 and played and won with Perkz in 2016 and 2017. Zven was considered a flop at one point but has rebounded remarkably in 2020. Until Cloud 9 then started to struggle and collapsed before the Worlds 2020.

Team Liquid lost their own star mid-laner Jensen in 2018. Currently, the Belgian Nisqy is playing in the mid lane. He is expected to be replaced by Perkz.

But Team Solo Mid would also be an interesting destination for Perkz: There, the Croatian would be the successor of Bjergsen in the mid lane, who recently retired.

At TSM, Perkz would play alongside Doublelift – an enticing idea. The two have previously streamed together and attempted a tower dive that went quite wrong.

The other 4 teams on the list are more like secondary teams in LoL, which Perkz could help to become relevant and competitive.

Perkz holds Record for EU Champion Titles

What makes Perkz special: The 22-year-old Croatian Luka “PerkZ” Perković is actually a trained mid-laner and has always been top-notch in that role. However, he could never surpass the strong Asians with G2 at international tournaments.

Therefore, Perkz switched to the bot lane in 2019 to make room for the Dane Caps at G2 Esports, who then went to the mid lane. G2 became a “super-team,” reaching the finals of the Worlds in 2019 and the semifinals in 2020. Europe finally became competitive and could keep up with the Chinese and Koreans.

Apparently, Perkz is now drawn back to the mid lane. In current LoL, the bot lane is not as influential as it used to be. In the Worlds 2020, the role of junglers proved crucial. The meta has shifted to “carry jungler.” However, the mid lane is still important and the most prestigious position in any LoL team.

What lies behind it: Perkz has been with G2 Esports for 5 years and has been the franchise player of the team. With 8 championship titles in Europe, he holds the record. He is considered incredibly ambitious and driven.

If he actually moves to the USA and achieves a selling price of 5 million $, it would likely be a new record deal. Currently, 1.5 million is considered the top transfer. That’s how much Cloud 9 reportedly spent on the support player Vulcan.

The coach of G2 is the German Fabian “Grabbz” Lohmann.

As a potential “replacement” for Perkz at G2 Esports, a German is considered: Elias “Upset” Lipp (20) could switch to G2, as he is regarded as the rising star in European LoL in recent years.

A move for Perkz to the USA would have a certain taste: In recent years, players have primarily moved to the USA to earn money.

The German coach of G2, Fabian “Grabbz” Lohmann, said last year: Anyone moving from EU to the USA gives up winning.

G2 is considered the dream team in Europe.

G2 has been together in its current form for 2 years and is considered a close-knit community and a favorite team for many fans. They have an incredible dynamic and harmony in team fights and strong personalities.

At the Worlds 2020, they had their strongest game in the quarterfinals. They not only beat the Koreans from Gen G but completely crushed them.

Twitch streamer likes Escape from Tarkov – explains why he no longer plays it

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The top streamer summit1g has recently celebrated successes with the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov. But now he announces that he will stop for the time being. The game stresses him out too much, he simply cannot play it anymore.

Who is it about? Jaryd “summit1g” Lazar is one of the largest streamers in the world on Twitch. He has over 5 million followers and is active in shooters like PUBG, Counter-Strike, Valorant, and most recently Escape from Tarkov.

In the Russian hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov, which is one of the top games on Twitch, he has also produced many streams. Since the game punishes failure particularly harshly by making you lose your hard-earned equipment, there have also been epic outbursts from summit1g while playing.

However popular his Tarkov streams are with fans, they seem to be quite unhealthy for the streamer himself.

“This is a stressful game”

What is the problem? In a recent stream, summit1g announced that he will stop playing Escape from Tarkov for the time being. He stated that the game is just too stressful for him:

Listen, it may be nice to remember EFT, the times when you win and shred the opponent. But the whole time in between, when you get taken out with a shot and have to re-gear, then lose a fight and have to re-gear, and then win a few fights and just be stressed out … This is a stressful game.

There are too many heart attacks. Not to mention the rounds where you just can’t find anyone. You hear gunshots, walk around, can’t find any shit. And then Jomo Scav comes in, shoots at you with a shotgun, almost kills you, and while you’re healing, a three-man team comes by and kills you.

So it sounds like summit1g, who often flips out spectacularly when he fails, does not benefit from playing a game that punishes failure so brutally. Therefore, his decision to stop playing this game for the time being is quite understandable.

Overall, being overwhelmed, stress, and even burnout among professional streamers are serious matters, as the fate of successful CS:GO pro Gla1ve shows. It is all the more important to slow down in time and to prevent it from getting that far.

Pokémon GO now increases trading range – but only for a short time

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, you can now trade with other players who are several kilometers away. However, this bonus is a test and will therefore only last for a certain period.

What kind of test is this? When you open Pokémon GO on your mobile device, you will immediately be greeted by a message from Niantic. It announces that the trade range has now been increased.

They are testing this to possibly reintroduce the bonus in future events. For this, the developers are now collecting data from the players who use it.

The tests started on November 12 at 23:30. The increased range is scheduled to last until November 16 at 19:00. So you only have a few days to try it out.

Why is Niantic doing this? The increased trade range is a change that trainers have long desired. Due to COVID-19 and the distancing regulations from other people, this topic has come back into focus. It is quite possible that the developers are linking both issues here.

What is the new trade distance?

Trainers notice: After the announcement, trainers immediately took to social networks to report their test results. Because Niantic omitted one piece of information in the event announcement: What distance can they now trade at?

According to player reports, the new distance must be between 10 and 15 kilometers. Reliable details are still being investigated.

In a reddit post, user Scorpionco explains that the limit is 12 kilometers. Even at 12.125 kilometers away from his trading partner, the trade was unsuccessful.

As reddit users report, the Korean announcement from Niantic actually mentions “12 kilometers” as the increased distance. It’s best to try it out for yourself and let us know your results here on MeinMMO in the comments.

Why you should trade almost every practical Pokémon with friends

It is quite possible that this trade range will be further increased during the tests if Niantic wants to collect more data in this area. Keep in mind that trading some species is more worthwhile than others.

More about Pokémon GO:

What do you think about this? Do you like this new distance and is it sufficient to trade with players in your vicinity now from a safe distance, or should the distance be increased further?

Elsewhere, the developers have secretly improved the balloons in Pokémon GO, but not for everyone.

Destiny 2: Season 12 fully launches next week – Trailer shows what to expect

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, the expansion Beyond Light has just launched. However, next week the Season of the Hunt will kick off properly.

What’s new: On November 10, the major expansion Destiny 2: Beyond Light Release was celebrated. Most Guardians are likely still engaged in exploring Europe and fighting for the new Stasis abilities. But Bungie already has the next hot topic on the agenda.

On November 17, Season 12, the Season of the Hunt, will properly begin. Some of the content of this Season launched alongside the expansion. However, the seasonal story and the big hunt have thus far been kept under wraps.

To get you in the mood for the hunting season, Bungie has released a new trailer. Check out here in German who will be available for elimination starting November 17:

In the Season of the Hunt, you will make a dangerous deal

The video shows:

  • The story of Season 12 ties into the final event where the Darkness swallowed half the solar system.
  • Osiris needs your help to investigate the effects of that.
  • The War Goddess of the Hive, Xivu Arath, wants to fill the power vacuum that has emerged – by the way, this nice lady is the sister of Oryx and Savathûn.
  • To deal with the new threat, Guardians will have to make a deal with the black market dealer Spider.
  • The trailer then hits us with hunting vocabulary like “Follow the trail” or “Track the prey”.
  • We then see the new seasonal activity “Wrathborn Hunt” in the Tangled Shore and the Dreaming City.
  • Afterwards, it’s about Exotics of Season 12: Duality and Hawkmoon.
  • It concludes with a little surprise regarding Uldren – here is what MeinMMO reported on: Destiny 2: Of all things, a dead enemy becomes an ally in the new Season 12
Dealing with Spider from the Tangled Shore to fend off the Hive

What is a season in Destiny 2? Destiny relies on two methods to provide Guardians with new content. Once a year, a major DLC, like Beyond Light, is released. Between the DLCs, there are 4 seasons per year that tell a story but are separate from the DLC.

  • Seasons provide smaller content bites over a specific period to give you reasons to log in repeatedly.
  • Season 12 runs until February 2021 – Bungie has confirmed, however, that the FOMO aspect will be reduced: You can still access certain seasonal content even after it ends.
  • The roadmap for Season 12 and the launch of Beyond Light can be found here.
  • You do not have to purchase Season 12 to play Beyond Light.
  • Many contents like the seasonal artifact, the Season Pass, or events and even new gear are free for all Destiny players.
  • However, purchasers of a Season (1,000 Silver – about €10) will receive additional loot from the Season Pass and access to quests or activities.

Are you looking forward to the hunting season finally kicking off, or are you still busy with content from Beyond Light? What do you think of the trailer – did Bungie deliver as usual?

Riot Games gifts streamer $125 over Twitch – He insults them

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp is one of the biggest and most controversial streamers on Twitch. He became known for League of Legends. In a livestream, the developers from Riot Games visited and even gifted him. His reaction was predictably outrageous.

What happened? In a LoL livestream by Tyler1, the developers gifted his viewers a total of 50 subscriptions.

These are subscriptions that viewers can purchase for about 5 dollars to support their streamer and earn various rewards like badges.

Riot Games thus indirectly gifted Tyler1 at least 125 US dollars. This is the minimum value of 50 % of the expenditures that go to the streamer. However, it’s very possible that Tyler1 has even better conditions and receives a higher percentage from Twitch.

How did Tyler1 react to the donation? Instead of immediately thanking Riot Games and celebrating the subscriptions with the viewers, Tyler1 first started insulting the developers and blamed them for his losses in ranked games.

“I don’t want your damn gifts… but thanks”

What does Tyler1 say? The short clip starts with the streamer expressing his amazement at the large number of gifted subs, but then he immediately ridicules it and follows up with an insult:

Riot Games with 50 gifts. Wow. Oh my god, that’s a lot of gifted subs. But you know what’s even more? The amount of LP [League Points in the ranking], that I lost today, you son of a b****.

He gets very close to the camera, so that only his nose and sometimes his eyes can be seen.

He follows up the first insult with more insults directed at the developers.

However, he ends his emotional speech with a short “but thanks”, which makes the whole situation even more bizarre:

You bastards, can you hear me? I don’t want your damn gifts, I want your damn LP… but thanks

Tyler1 was permanently banned in LoL but was pardoned

This is Tyler1: Tyler1 is seen very controversially, which is due to his style of entertainment. The toxic behavior and loud screaming doesn’t sit well with everyone, even though it is his entertainment style. He represents the typically aggressive manner that one often encounters in LoL. It is often unclear whether he is really that angry or just pretending.

However, he is successful with his style and even reached number 1 on Twitch.

The preseason 11 has started in LoL. This brings some changes:

The permanent ban: The interesting thing is that, Tyler1 was actually banned forever from LoL by Riot Games in 2016, because he was too toxic.

He was actually only unbanned because he was so popular and an employee of Riot had insulted him harshly. The designer was subsequently fired, and Tyler1 was allowed to return to the game.

LoL-Tyler1
“Reformed” was his motto for months. He had changed

Now the streamer celebrates himself even more and even claims that he is so important that Riot can’t ban him. This has some truth to it, as Tyler1 has now become so successful that he has a certain level of impunity.

However, he also has a softer side that he rarely shows. One special gift, however, melted his heart:
