Here you can find the best talents for the positions CAM, CM, and CDM in FIFA 21. MeinMMO shows you affordable midfield players with high potential.
Central midfield players are the engine of every football team. This is often where the most creativity arises, and the success of an attack is not infrequently dependent on a strong pass from midfield. This also applies to the Career Mode in FIFA 21.
In football simulations, there are also 3 roles available in central midfield:
CAM – Central attacking midfielders often lack physicality, but they are fast, can dribble, and pass.
CM – Central midfielders are all-round talents and can do a bit of everything.
CDM – Are a bit bulkier and bring more physical and defensive strengths into the game, but they often lack technical skills.
So that you can choose the best and/or the cheapest talents with potential at the start of your career, here on MeinMMO you will find the large overview of talents in central positions.
Some of them are among the talents with the highest potential in FIFA 21, but they also require a corresponding budget. Others are cheaper, but need some time to develop. This list has something for everyone. You can find even more talents here:
Best midfield talents with the highest potential in career mode
First, here are the highest potentials at a glance. There is a bunch of young, lively talents in the midfield market, for which you might need to dig deep into your pocket. Others are relatively affordable for their potential but come with low strength and require a lot of playing time to discover their inner strengths.
For the players, you will also find information about age, price, and additional positions here. However, keep in mind that some still need to be trained to the position before they can be effectively deployed. So take a closer look at the professionals in the game:
Jadon Sancho – The Dortmund winger can also play center and feels comfortable next to LM and RM as well on CAM. With a market value of €124,000,000, the 20-year-old is certainly not a bargain. His rating starts at 87 and can go up to 93.
Kai Havertz – The young German joined Chelsea this season and is 21 years old. His starting rating can rise from 85 to 93 and he can be deployed as CAM, RM, and ST. But his price is as high as his talent: €121,000,000.
Francisco Trincão – The Portuguese is a nifty 20 and offers you a starting rating of 78. However, his strength can still increase considerably – towards 91. His market value is €34,000,000, and he can also play on both wings (RW and LW) alongside CAM.
Sandro Tonali – The Milan player feels comfortable a step further back and plays as CM or CDM. The value is €24,000,000, and for that, you get a 20-year-old Italian with a rating of 77, which can rise to 91.
Federico Valverde – The 21-year-old is contracted to Real Madrid and already has a rating of 83 to offer. This can even rise to 90, but for that, his market value is a respectable €73,500,000. He is purely a central midfielder (CM).
Martin Ødegaard – The next Real player comes from Norway and is 21 years old. He also offers a starting rating of 83 but doesn’t reach as high as Valverde – his potential is at 89. However, he can also play as CM and CAM – market value: €58,500,000.
Takefusa Kubo – The Japanese is just 19 and has a rating of 75 that can rise to 89. For €13,500,000, you get a talented Asian who can play RM, CM, and CAM.
Thiago Almada – The Argentine is also just 19 years old and masters two midfield and one wing position (CAM, CM, LW). His market value is €8,000,000, which is a real bargain compared to others on this list. His rating starts at only 73, but it can still rise to up to 89.
With the right negotiation tactics, you can sometimes get the talents cheaper.
Affordable midfield talents with the best value for money
Here we list talents that offer at least a potential of 88, but for which you should not spend more than €100,000 per potential point. For comparison: Sancho or Havertz would cost you more than €1,300,000 per potential point.
Rayan Cherki – CAM / RM / LM: €3,200,000 is the market value of the 16-year-old player with a rating of 67, which can rise to 88.
Florian Wirtz – CAM / RM: The value is €3,300,000, and his values start at 68. His potential is 88.
Jude Bellingham – CM / LM / RM: The market value is €3,500,000 for a 17-year-old with a strength of 69, which can rise towards 88.
Pedri – LM / CAM / CM: Here’s a 17-year-old with a rating of 72, who achieves a potential of 88. Market value is €6,000,000.
Augustin Urzi – LM / CM / RM: The 20-year-old midfielder can also be deployed on the outside and comes with an overall value of 73, which can rise to 88. The value stands at €7,500,000.
Thiago Almada – CAM / CM / LW: The Argentine midfielder is not only among the best talents but also one of the cheapest in relation. He starts at 73 and has a potential of 89. His value is €8,000,000.
All young midfield talents U21 with potential 84 or better
Best talents for CAM, CM, CDM: Finally, here is a large table with all central talents who are 21 or younger and offer at least a potential of 84. You can sort the data by columns by clicking on the respective label.

In the new instantiated content Bozjan Southern Front in Final Fantasy XIV , brave heroes fight against giant robots, hordes of monsters, imperial soldiers. And a Chocobo.
What happened? Since October 13, many FFXIV players have been exploring the new content Bozjan Southern Front. The new zone is a large battlefield where the Bozjan resistance fighters engage in battle against the might of the IVth Imperial Legion to free their homeland from enslavement.
Blood is flowing, death lurks around every corner, it is true war. But the one boss that truly obliterates the players in the instance is a sweet bird. His name is Red Comet and with his meteors, he chases the disturbed and frightened players into the next century.
This looks like in practice:

In the video, you can see players desperately trying to survive the boss fight for 12 minutes. However, they cannot hide from the countless explosions and AOE areas of the murderous bird.
On reddit and social media, players are sharing horror stories about encounters with the red Chocobo on the battlefield of Bozja. The massive amount of explosions and AOEs has left some with lasting damage.
Twitter user @VirunSeptimus wrote:
You can’t use words to describe the bloodbath that happened when we attacked this bird. EVERYONE died. It was horrible. Bodies were scattered everywhere. Achievements for resurrection were earned. I don’t know exactly what happened, but it was BAD.
It was so bad for the Japanese that the hashtag “Red Chocobo” even trended for a while in the top trends of Japanese Twitter:
“Red Chocobo”
Other players are trying to deal with their traumatic Choco-Meteo experiences with memes and humor. They referred to the boss fight as the new Ultimate mode, the hardest mode in FFXIV.
On reddit, user HouseofDegenerates posted, for example:
“I fear no one… But this thing. It scares me.”
The FFXIV team seems to be well aware of the horror effect of the red Chocobos. The official English Twitter account of FFXIV tweeted today “Hi” along with the icon of a red bird.
The tweet received over 200 replies, many of which were disturbed and horrified.

Can you defend against it? Fortunately, players have now found a counter against the nasty bird. With the spell Reflect, you can negate the damage from the meteors.
The special ability is randomly obtained from the unexamined Frontline Shards of Devotion left behind by the enemies in the Bozjan instance or awarded as quest rewards. Alternatively, you can buy them at the market board.
Red Chocobos have been spreading fear and terror since FF Tactics
What kind of bird is this? For many long-time fans of the Final Fantasy series, the name “Red Chocobo” sends a shiver down their spine. These seemingly cute birds have been terrorizing anyone who dares to encounter them in a random battle since FF Tactics.
Their special ability is called “Choco Meteo” (also optionally Choco-Comet or Choco-Meteor). Depending on the game, it deals very high damage, and fans are now fully experiencing the power of Choco Meteo in Final Fantasy XIV.
Red Chocobos are affectionately referred to by some players as “Murder Chicken.”
Chocobos were really nasty beasts in FF Tactics.
There were also red Chocobos here: This is not the first time players have been annihilated by red Chocobos in FFXIV. To unlock the Ridoranna raid during the Stormblood expansion, players had to get past several such birds.
They also threw meteors around, leading to a real massacre:

In Pokémon GO players are eagerly awaiting which raid boss Niantic will announce for the Halloween event 2020. A leak may have revealed the secret.
What is it about? In October, Pokémon GO celebrates the Halloween event annually. In 2020, there will be another event, which Niantic has already confirmed.
The information many trainers are impatiently waiting for is: Who will be the event boss? Because Niantic has hinted at the detail that an announcement about a raid boss will follow. They wrote on September 23:
“Soon, information about a special raid boss that you can challenge during the Halloween event will follow.”
A start date for the event is also still pending. However, a new leak from data miners suggests who this mysterious raid boss might be that Niantic hints at.
In the latest analysis (via reddit), they show that two new attacks are coded into the game:
The fire attack Incinerate
and the dark attack Sleep Talk
The special thing about the dark attack is that Sleep Talk is Darkrai’s special attack.
Could Darkrai be the raid boss for the Halloween event?
This is what the players say: For many trainers, it is now obvious that this attack is a hint at the raid boss Darkrai for Halloween. This is not yet officially confirmed. However, the dark Pokémon Darkrai would thematically fit well with a Halloween event – after all, the Pokémon was already the raid boss for the Halloween event 2019. The attack Sleep Talk could be specifically activated for this event.
“Darkrai is obviously the special raid boss for Halloween,” says trainer Pycrow on reddit
“Darkrai with Sleep Talk is obviously the special raid boss. However, there is also a small chance that they will organize a Darkrai raid day, like before with legendaries, and bring an exciting special boss for Halloween,” says l3g3nd_TLA on reddit
Which Pokémon would you prefer as a special raid boss for Halloween and why? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other players.

In October, the MMORPG RuneScape will be released on Steam. The game was originally released in January 2001 and has been the entry point into the genre for many players. Even 19 years after its release, it remains very popular, partly due to the close bond of the community.
What is RuneScape?RuneScape is one of the oldest still-running MMORPGs. In it, you explore a large fantasy world where you can complete quests or explore dungeons. You are never alone, but always interact with other players.
As you adventure, you improve your hero, who becomes stronger through skills and obtains increasingly powerful equipment. Crafting also plays a significant role. However, the story and single-player content are considerably less extensive compared to many modern MMORPGs.
RuneScape is fundamentally Free2Play and can be played endlessly. However, you only have access to about 20% of the total content. Some areas and skills are missing, and existing skills can only be leveled up to level 99. To experience the full offering, you must subscribe monthly.
When will RuneScape be released on Steam? According to the Steam page, the release is planned for October 14 at 5:00 PM our time. Old School RuneScape is set to follow in 2021.

How has the game’s development progressed? Over the last 19 years, the MMORPG has undergone many changes:
The original version was released for browsers and was revised in 2004. After a major engine update, it was referred to as “RuneScape 2”.
There was later another update, RuneScape HD.
This was in turn replaced by “RuneScape 3” in 2013. This is the current version that is also coming to Steam.
Together with RuneScape 3, Old School RuneScape was also released. This is a standalone game that is set around the version before RuneScape HD. This game is also constantly being developed.
That year saw more new players acquired than ever before in the franchise’s 19-year history.
Old School RuneScape was downloaded over 8 million times as a mobile version.
At peak times, 1.1 million players had an active subscription in RuneScape. This was the highest number since 2010.
According to Jagex, there are 285,579,812 registered RuneScape accounts. That is a significant number.
A large part of the success is the strong collaboration with the community. For example, in Old School RuneScape, players decide which content is added to the game and which is not. New features are put to a vote, and only if a feature receives 75% approval from the community will it be implemented.
The RuneScape community is also very close to the game and is invited by the developers. There are regularly contests, events, and this strong exchange. We experienced this ourselves when we participated in the RuneFestival 2019 organized by MeinMMO.
RuneScape is its own world, complete with livelihoods and mafia clans
What makes RuneScape special? The old MMORPG has now become part of life for many players. However, this also leads to curious situations:
The Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Gresziek (26) is considered a shooter god and human aimbot. He apparently thought he was already a big player in the MMORPG Runescape at the age of 10. But the look at his inventory was sobering.
This is the situation: shroud is one of the biggest and most successful streamers on Twitch. Unlike entertainers like Dr Disrespect, he is mainly known for his solid gameplay: He is just very good at video games.
shroud became famous for his skills in shooters like CS: GO or PUBG, but in his heart, he is passionate about MMORPGs like WoW Classic. That’s where he originally came from. Even though these games aren’t that suitable for Twitch, he enjoys grinding in an MMORPG for days.
“Impossible that I achieved so little as a child”
What’s the deal with MMORPGs? shroud logged back into the MMORPG Runescape after more than 16 years. He created an account there at the age of 9 or 10, which had long been dormant. When he wanted to play Runescape again, he couldn’t believe that Jagex still had his old account.
He gushed to his chat that he still remembers what he did in the game: He chopped branches in front of the trees near that one town and oh…
When he logged in again and walked to the bank, however, he was in for a rude awakening. shroud exclaimed at the sight of the pitiful inventory:
“Is that all? Is that all I’m worth? Is that all I could achieve at 10?”

The streamer clicks through his inventory, but it just doesn’t get any better. Some low-tier items and junk are staring back at him from the screen. shroud struggles with it: He can’t believe how little he must have achieved and owned in Runescape back then.
Even minutes later, he complains about the situation, which does not match what he remembers at all. Ultimately, he concludes: Someone must have hacked him and picked the valuable loot from his inventory.
It can’t be that he ran around with such crappy items back then and actually completed tough quests with a “Bronze Hammer.”

Here’s what’s behind it: Normal players deal with returning to an MMORPG on their own, while shroud is watched by a few thousand people. When shroud notices that he lacks money to buy an item, a viewer quickly hands him a few million.
The exciting thing about shroud is the flashback of what it’s like to log in to an MMORPG after more than 15 years. Everything has changed, and the memories from back then are not as vivid as they used to be.
Normally, players react with slight dismay upon viewing the graphics: In memory, the old MMORPG looked much better than it does now in the present. But that doesn’t seem to bother shroud at all. On the contrary: He is impressed by what Runescape has become over the years.
But you can see how shroud tries to figure out if he really achieved so little back then or if someone hacked him and stole the best items later. With “hacks” and items, a part of one’s youth seems to be lost.
shroud loves MMORPGs and is willing to spend for it.
How deeply shroud is addicted to MMORPGs was evident in April 2020. He was right in the middle of a raid phase in WoW Classic, but he was also traveling around the world. To be on time back home with his raid team, he dipped into the streamer’s wallet, which apparently was well-filled after his stint with Mixer:
Patch 9.0 of World of Warcraft is starting with issues. Many players cannot log in or are kicked out of the game immediately. Error 51900123 is a factor.
Update 10:13 PM: In the meantime, the issue seems to be resolved and most players can log in without problems.
Original report: For several hours, the Patch 9.0 has been live in World of Warcraft. The major pre-patch for the upcoming expansion Shadowlands brought numerous innovations, but also a whole lot of issues. Many players are complaining that they cannot play at all.
What is going on? Today, on October 14th, was the infamous patch day in WoW. The old saying “Never play on patch day” seems to hold true again this time, as there are already problems with logging in. There are constant connection drops and players are being kicked from the server. Those who are in the game and log out may not be able to log back in.
The heroes mourn – Not all can log in right now.
The problems manifest as follows:
The login is not possible at all. The game cannot establish a connection.
Error 51900319 appears. This is just another term for the failed connection to the server.
When logging in with a character, the loading screen remains “endlessly” long. After several minutes, the connection is lost.
While playing, there are long lags and freezes. Sometimes it continues after that, sometimes the connection to the game breaks.
However, not all players are experiencing these issues. Many can play normally and are currently exploring what Patch 9.0 has to offer.
What is Blizzard doing? Blizzard has already responded to the problem. They announced via Twitter that they are investigating the issues leading to failed logins. Normally, such problems last only a few hours before corresponding errors are resolved.

We will inform you as soon as the problem is resolved.
And what about the LUA errors? If you can log in and receive various LUA error messages, it is not fundamentally due to WoW. In this case, several of your interface add-ons are likely outdated and thus causing problems and errors that can affect the game. It is recommended to update all add-ons to the latest version.
If you want to be on the safe side, you should temporarily disable the add-ons completely to rule out errors caused by them.
During the Amazon Prime Day 2020, several gaming devices from Razer are on sale. We present to you the best ones and explain to you who should consider purchasing them.
Overview of Razer offers:
Razer Kraken X – Affordable headset with 7.1 surround sound
Razer Cynosa Lite – Entry-level keyboard with Xbox support
Razer Basilisk V2 – All-round gaming mouse
What are we presenting to you? Currently, during Amazon Prime Day 2020, there are many offers related to hardware and gaming. In this article, we present the five best gaming devices from Razer that you can currently get there. For the suggestions, we looked at reviews, critiques, and user ratings.
Razer Kraken X – Affordable headset with 7.1 surround sound
Wireless: No | Design: Over-Ear/Closed | Frequencies: 12Hz-28KHz | Features: 7.1 surround sound software, connection via USB cable | Compatibility: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Price range (according to Geizhals): 49 – 74 Euros
Who is the headset suitable for?The Razer Kraken X offers especially users with a low budget pleasant comfort, high sound quality, and additionally through software 7.1 surround sound.
What the Razer Kraken X offers:The headset from Razer is made entirely of plastic, but is relatively inexpensive. The build quality seems rather stiff and not very premium. The important controls, such as a switch for the microphone and a dial for the volume, are located directly on the headset itself.
The headset makes a good impression especially regarding comfort. It sits comfortably and offers a pleasant fit, even after long sessions, thanks to good padding on the head.
The Kraken X primarily relies on 7.1 surround sound. This is virtual 7.1 surround sound, which however performs well. To even use this, you inevitably need Razer’s Synapse software. A code for this is included with the headset. The basses are somewhat strong in the sound image, but otherwise, the headset offers a good and rounded sound image.
A disadvantage of the Kraken X is the microphone. The microphone cannot be removed, nor can it be fully folded away and offers only mediocre sound quality. The microphone cannot be controlled via software either. For in-game communication, it is sufficient, but for all other purposes, not really.
Console players, by the way, have to do without 7.1 surround sound, as they do not support Razer’s software that is responsible for surround sound.
Pro
affordable
high comfort thanks to good padding
7.1 surround sound – rare in this price range
lightweight
Contra
below-average microphone
Synapse software needed for surround sound
consoles only have stereo sound available
no braided USB cable
This is what users say: On Amazon, 10,027 buyers rate the headset with 4.3 out of 5 stars. Many praise the good sound quality (4.1 stars) and the very good comfort (4.5 stars) Some buyers find the basses too weak during gaming, which slightly disturbs the overall sound.
How much does the headset cost on Prime Day?The headset currently costs 36.96 € (59.99 €), so you save 38% compared to the normal price.

Razer Nari – good headset for under 100 Euros
Wireless: Yes (proprietary technology) | Design: Over-Ear/Closed | Frequencies: 20Hz-20KHz | Features: RGB Chroma technology; built-in microphone | Compatibility: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch | Price range (according to Geizhals): 89 – 119 Euros
Who is the headset suitable for? For just under 100 Euros, the Nari from Razer offers good craftsmanship and a decent microphone. As is typical for Razer, the Nari also offers Razer Synapse software again. Those who are familiar with it or already own Razer products will appreciate the headset.
What the Razer Nari offers: The Nari has a subdued but high-quality appearance. The power button, a micro-USB port for charging, and a volume control are found directly on the ear cup. The microphone is built-in, but delivers decent and interference-free quality without annoying background noise.
Razer Nari vs Razer Nari Essential: The Nari offers significantly higher battery life compared to the Essential and also two headbands (compared to the Essential which only had one).
The sound quality of the headset itself is very good; only the basses are occasionally too powerful, but this can be adjusted with Razer’s software. With Razer Synapse software, not only can the sound be adjusted, but the manufacturer’s logo can also be lit. Razer uses Chroma lighting in the same way as its other devices.
Pro
high comfort
premium look
manufacturers logo can be illuminated
Razer Synapse 3 allows sound configuration
interference-free quality of the microphone
Contra
very heavy basses,
7.1 surround sound is only usable on PC and requires Synapse software
mediocre build quality due to the high plastic content
This is what users say: The headset receives a rating of 4 out of 5 stars from a total of 3002 users on Amazon. Especially the comfort and sound quality are praised. Some criticize the cumbersome operation of the Razer software and the inadequate durability of the headset.
How much does the headset cost on Prime Day? The headset currently costs 99.90 € (149.99 €), you save 33% compared to the original price.

Interface: Wired | Key type: Mechanical | Key illumination: Yes | Programmable keys: No | Features: opto-mechanical keys, no number pad (Tenkeyless) | Price range (according to Geizhals): 149.99 – 220.18 Euros.
Who is the keyboard suitable for? The Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition looks simple yet elegant. Behind it hides a high-end keyboard for users who are looking for an especially fast and powerful keyboard. The keyboard focuses on the essentials and does without frills.
What the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition offers: Razer opts for high-quality PBT keycaps that are supposed to last long and an aluminum case. The keys also trigger early, which is practical for professional gamers. The keyboard is also connected via a USB-C plug. The cable is detachable. The simple keyboard features special opto-mechanical keys. These keys are comparable to Cherry MX Reds.
Elite vs Tournament: The Elite version offers clicky switches and a number pad, while the Tournament version features linear switches and a design without a number pad (tenkeyless). The Elite has 2 USB ports, while the Tournament Edition uses USB-C.
While clicky switches offer resistance and acoustic feedback, linear switches always feel the same, without resistance from the keys.
It is important to mention that the Huntsman Tournament Edition is only available in US and international ISO layouts. Razer does not offer a German layout.
Pro
simple, elegant design
extremely fast reaction times thanks to opto-mechanical switches
high durability of the keys (100 million strokes) thanks to PTB key caps
high comfort
detachable USB-C cable
Contra
meager equipment
uneven illumination
high noise level of the keys
only US layout available
This is what buyers say: The keyboard is rated 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon based on 996 reviews. Buyers are especially pleased with the performance in gaming, the great comfort, and durability. Criticism is directed at the minimal equipment, the relatively loud keys, and Razer’s Synapse software.
How much does the keyboard cost on Prime Day? The gaming keyboard currently costs 96.00 € (149.99 €), you save 36% compared to the original price. If you have previously refrained from spending significantly more than 100 Euros for the keyboard, now is the time to check out the offer.

Razer Cynosa Lite – Entry-level keyboard with Xbox support
Interface: Wired | Key type: Membrane | Key illumination: Yes | Programmable keys: No | Price range (according to Geizhals): 69 – 93 Euros.
Who is the keyboard suitable for? The Cynosa Lite features a membrane keyboard with smooth membrane keys, a cool lighting system, and Xbox One support, which is worth considering for console players. There is a discussion about whether shooters are better played with a mouse or controller.
What the Razer Cynosa Lite offers: Razer’s keyboard does not use mechanical keys but membrane switches. These provide less resistance than mechanical keyboards, but are less premium.
Cynosa Chroma vs Cynosa Lite: While with the Chroma, each key can be customized, the Lite only has a single zone illumination. In contrast to the Chroma, the Lite also lacks anti-ghosting for the keys.
The Cynosa Lite has single-zone lighting. This means you can set one color, but you cannot illuminate each key individually. However, to change colors, you need Razer’s Synapse software.
The keyboard also does not offer anti-ghosting support. Anti-ghosting prevents the keyboard from recognizing inputs correctly when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously.
The keyboard has no special multimedia or macro keys; however, it is compatible with the Xbox One. Razer’s software is not supported on the Xbox One.
Pro
affordable
compatible with Xbox One
good, smooth membrane keys
keys are illuminated
Contra
plastic frame feels cheap
no macro keys
no anti-ghosting
This is what buyers say: The keyboard is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon. The great brightness and comfortable pressure point are praised. The quality of the keys is criticized because the paint chips off after some time.
How much does the keyboard cost on Prime Day? The keyboard costs 29.36 € (48.09 €), so you save 26% compared to the original price.

What the Razer Basilisk V2 offers: Compared to the predecessor model, the Basilisk V2 gets a new, faster sensor (Razer Focus+), which resolves up to 20,000 DPI, and more durable mouse switches. Razer also increases the number of programmable buttons from 8 to 11, providing greater flexibility in gaming. Additionally, the manufacturer reduces the weight from 107g to 92g.

The Pre-Patch 9.0 of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is finally live and offers several new contents. Among them is a tribute to a deceased legend: Reckful. The largest WoW streamer on Twitch, Asmongold, paid him a visit in his first stream of the new patch.
Who was the legend? Byron “Reckful” Bernstein was one of the most well-known personalities in World of Warcraft. He won numerous tournaments and reached the highest PvP rank in 6 consecutive seasons.
He was regarded as one of the best rogues in the world and served as a great inspiration for many streamers because he was one of the first to make a name for himself on the streaming platform. Twitch itself called him a “streaming pioneer”.
Here stands Reckful now: In the today, on October 14th, the applied Pre-Patch 9.0 has given Reckful a tribute from Blizzard his own NPC. He stands with the same name and the character model of his rogue in the cathedral in Stormwind.
Players can visit him. Reckful serves in WoW Shadowlands both as a reminder of a deceased legend and as a trainer for rogues. Those who wave at him will receive a wave back and those who input the emote /love will receive a quick kiss from the character, and wings will appear on his back.
With the emote /love, there is a special interaction.
This is what Asmongold says: Since the patch was already available several hours earlier in North America, streamers like the largest WoW streamer Asmongold could play it before us. One of the first things he did was visit the deceased legend directly in his stream.
After briefly wondering about the repositioning (in the beta Reckful stood on the other side), he and some of his viewers greeted the NPC. Asmongold praised the tribute to Reckful and the Easter eggs like the wings with a: “This is really fucking cool”.
Subsequently, the streamer even showed himself to be quite emotional by his standards. The usually brash Asmongold was visibly affected: “It’s somehow sad. I don’t know, I’m trying not to think too much about it. But it really is somehow sad.”

Reckful’s death has already caused known streamers to have emotional outbursts. The streamer Alinity, for example, cried and lamented the hate culture on Twitch. Reckful was reportedly targeted on social media and in forums before his death, which also happens to her. People should become aware of what they can cause when they go so hard after people on the internet.

On October 14, the PlayStation Network (PSN) appears to be experiencing issues. Recently, the system software update 8.00 went live, but now there are disruptionsand error codes WS-44369-6 and WS-37505-0occurring.
What is the issue? On October 14, more users are reporting problems with the PlayStation Network since the late afternoon. The main features affected are social features. For instance, the friends list does not load, remaining empty.
The error message “WS-44369-6” is displayed after a short while.
Playing games with friends is not possible as usual.
Creating parties is not working smoothly (2:00 PM)
Update 7:00 PM: The official network server status of the PS4 now indicates that “Gaming and social network” are having problems. The developers are working to resolve these disruptions (via Status.PlayStation.com – as of 6:41 PM).
Update 5:00 PM: It seems almost as if the situation has worsened again. Currently, issues are occurring again, manifesting in the endless loading of the friends list, and creating parties results in error code “WS-37505-0”.
We will keep you updated at MeinMMO and will adjust this article with new information.
At lunchtime, the disruption reports skyrocketed – Source: Allestörungen
The problems are not limited to the German-speaking area. Complaints about disruptions are also increasing on international Twitter channels (via Twitter).
Firmware Update 8.00 responsible for the “PlayStation Network” issues?
What is the cause? According to the official service page of PSN, there are disruptions in the network. It indicates that there are issues with “PlayStation™Video”. However, this message is from 09/29/2020.
Today, the new firmware update 8.00 was launched. This was supposed to bring changes to party and messaging functions to the PlayStation 4 (via PlayStation Blog).
This could possibly be the cause of the issues and disruptions – however, this information is not currently confirmed by official sources.
You can read about all the functions in detail on our sister site GamePro:
How the community is reacting: Under the announcement for the firmware update, there is a flood of harsh criticism on the official Twitter channels of PSN. Disruptions are a hot topic under many posts from recent hours:

However, many users are also crossing the line with their criticism. Keep in mind that Sony is certainly working under pressure to resolve the issue. Nevertheless, it would indeed be nice if there were soon an official statement or even a resolution of the problems.
Can I play online with the PS4? Apparently, you can currently play online despite the disruption in social features. In our tests, automatic matchmaking in the Warzone of Call of Duty and Destiny 2 worked without issues.
Are you also affected by the disruptions? Have you found a way to still play online with your friends? Let us know in the comments.

The PTR phase of Season 22 in Diablo 3 is being extended. Update 2.6.10 is currently causing issues. However, players find it good to wait longer for the release of the season.
In the forum, Community Manager PezRadar writes that players are reporting latency issues and login errors on the PTR. For these reasons, the PTR will be “extended indefinitely”. Behind the scenes, they want to work on the issues now.
Additionally, they are asking for further help from players. They wish for more people to participate and play on the PTR.
Next, the developers want to test 2 things:
The shadow clones of the players, which arise from the seasonal theme, will be disabled for now
Once the shadow clones are back in the game, the fourth slot in Kanai’s Cube will be disabled. This is also a bonus of Season 22
This is what the players say: In the community, the news is being discussed. On reddit , user toasti3 writes: “These are good news.” He elaborates on what changes he wishes for the theme: “It would be nice to see that the clones are also useful in higher rifts or actually scale with the hero’s progress. If it turns out that the fourth slot in Kanai’s Cube doesn’t break anything, it would be cool to keep the feature in the core game.” He also suggests keeping the shadow clones as a legendary power in a later patch or tying them to a set.”
Due to the extended testing, the start of Season 22 in Diablo 3 could be delayed even more. It was previously assumed that it would be as early as the second half of October.
However, a date in November is now becoming increasingly likely. Especially since Blizzard usually announces it two weeks before the start.
The Elder Scrolls Online is offering you a free ESO Plus subscription for a limited time. This allows you to play almost all content, DLCs and chapters in the game for free. However, since the time is limited, you cannot possibly play everything. Therefore, we have presented the most rewarding content here that you should not miss during the free trial.
What is the ESO Plus trial about? From October 12 to October 19, 2020, ESO players can get the subscription called ESO Plus for free. This brings you many advantages, including more experience and gold, double the number of housing items that can be crafted, and the immensely useful crafting bag, where you can store an unlimited number of crafting resources.
The most useful feature of the subscription is, of course, access to almost all DLCs and chapters released to date. A total of 17 additional content items are now available to you in ESO Plus. Only the current chapter Greymoor (but the DLCs Harrowstorm and Stonethorn) is not included, and if you want to play the classes Necromancer and Warden, you also have to purchase the respective chapters.
How to get the free subscription? You just need to log into your ESO account and then select the Crown Store. There you will find ESO Plus and choose “free trial”.
The Greymoor expansion and two DLC classes are the only things not included in the subscription.
The Top 5 DLCs in ESO
Here we present you the best DLCs of ESO so that you can pick the best during the short subscription trial. We have selected the 5 best pieces of content and start with the 5th place and work our way to the top of the best DLCs you definitely should have played. Enjoy!
How was the selection made? The listing of the content is based on our own assessment of the MeinMMO editorial team, a survey on social media, and internet research. We have only focused on the zone DLCs here, not the much larger chapters or very short dungeon DLCs.
The chapters are all great but also very large. Therefore, at the end of the article, we have given a brief evaluation of the chapters and focused on the top 5 only on the smaller DLC areas.
5th Place – Thieves Guild
What is it about? Thieves Guild lets you become a member of the famous Thieves Guild. To do this, you first help a lovable elf and then later come to the desert region called “Hews Fluch” in the south of the Alik’r Desert.
There you will find a small quest area and a sprawling, winding city of the Redguards. Your task is to help the greatly troubled Thieves Guild regain its former glory and uncover the circumstances behind the recent decline of the guild.
The region of the Thieves Guild DLC has an oriental feel.
Why you should play it: The main feature of this DLC is clearly the membership in the guild and the new skills that can be used and levelled up. You will retain these even after the subscription ends. So if you want to wreak havoc in Tamriel as a thief and need more skills, this is the place for you.
In addition, there is a really nice, whimsical story about the Thieves Guild in Hews Fluch. Throughout the course of the story, you will experience funny and dramatic scenes and twists. However, there is a lot of sneaking around and breaking into houses. If you prefer to go in swinging, you might be less happy here.
4th Place – Dark Brotherhood
What is it about? This DLC introduces the feared Dark Brotherhood as a playable faction. Early on in the DLC, you will become a member of the brotherhood and can visit their hideout on the Gold Coast. This area around the city of Kvatch should still be well remembered by any player who played the good old game Oblivion.
In the ESO timeline, the area is ruled by a ruthless warlord who has declared herself a tyrant. But that is not even the main problem, as someone is hunting down the members of the Dark Brotherhood and murdering the murderers.
Here it’s all about sneaking and assassinating.
Why you should play it: Those who join the brotherhood gain a hugely important skill: The Blade of Woe. This refers to the mysterious dagger that every member can summon when committing a murder. And as members, you can now do this as well.
Simply sneak up on a target and activate the skill. A surprisingly brutal and bloody animation follows, sending your victim off to the dark god Sithis. This not only allows you to quickly complete the numerous murder contracts in the DLC, but you can also quickly take out many opponents in the game from behind and save yourself tedious battles against trash mobs.
Additionally, there are more skills for assassins, a really cool, spooky sanctuary, quirky NPCs, and a dark, twisty story. However, as an assassin, you must murder a lot of people and serve a dark cult. If you’re faint of heart, you might want to play another DLC instead.
3rd Place – Murkmire
What is it about?Murkmire is a huge zone DLC that introduces a vast swamp full of Argonians and their problems. Here you can expect a story that is fully focused on the mysteries and history of the lizardfolk. The story revolves around the ancient Ayleid people and how their machinations influence the lives of the Argonians in the present time.
The DLC does not feature new skills or features. Instead, you have a large new area full of quests. Especially the old temple complexes immediately evoke a classic Indiana Jones feeling. In addition, there is a group arena in the Blackrose Prison, where you can smash wave after wave of enemies.
Swamps, lizards, and old temples, what more could you want?
Why you should play it: Murkmire is a treat for lore fans. Especially if you have always wanted to know more about the Argonians. You will learn among other things, how the lizardfolk reproduce and what role trees play in it.
Additionally, there is an excitingly told story, which, however, unfolds slowly, but really scores and can convince towards the end. So if you enjoy ESO’s storytelling, you will get your money’s worth here.
2nd Place – Clockwork City
What is it about? This DLC brings a completely new, never-before-seen world into the game. The legendary Clockwork City, a dimension outside of Nirn, where the manic tinkerer god Sotha Sil has created his life’s work: A whole world of clockwork and metal.
But of course, not everything goes well in the Clockwork City, and your heroes must see to it that everything is all right. There, you explore the city and the surrounding areas. There – apart from Sotha Sil’s pilgrims – everything is made of metal, including the animals and plants. Lakes are filled with bubbling oil, and the spirit of the steampunk genre lives here.
Here, everything is made of metal.
Why you should play it: In Clockwork City, you won’t gain a new skill line, but you’ll be presented with a truly unique new setting. So if you are into steampunk and are familiar enough with the more tranquil areas of Tamriel, you are presented with something completely new.
Additionally, there is a nice story that is gradually told through the quests in the area. The plot of Clockwork City is a continuation of the story from Morrowind and the precursor to the story of Summerset. So if you want to play these two chapters, make sure to plan a detour to the Clockwork City in between.
1st Place – Orsinium
What is it about? Orsinium takes you to the namesake, barren land of the Orcs. There, the new Orc king is currently rebuilding the ancient Orc kingdom and has a lot of trouble with foreign invaders and various Orc clans, all of whom have different ideas about how the new Orsinium should look.
However, these problems are only the beginning of one of the best stories in ESO to date. For the story of Orsinium ultimately reveals what the repercussions of the main game’s story are, and even the Daedra shine here in a completely new light. Overall, it can be said that the story of Orsinium shaped the narrative arc leading to the chapter Summerset.
Orsinium brings you a rugged land with Orcs and more.
Why you should play it: Orsinium offers everything a fan of ESO could wish for. Don’t be misled by the obvious Orc theme; the story has much more to offer than just Orcs and their problems. That’s not to say that an Orc fan won’t find plenty to enjoy and learn a lot about the culture of these rugged but honorable beings, who incidentally belong to the race of elves (Orsimer).
Alongside the numerous quests and challenges that the vast land of Orsinium offers, there is the legendary Maelstrom Arena, where you can face increasingly difficult challenges and earn some of the most powerful weapons in the game.
Bonus: The best chapters in ESO
Three of the chapters released in ESO so far are included in ESO Plus. However, you only get the story and areas, not the classes like the Necromancer or the Warden. The chapters are all very large and extensive. Nevertheless, we present a ranking here:
Elsweyr: The penultimate chapter brought us a huge zone in the land of Khajiit. Just the exotic architecture and varied landscape are worth a trip here. Additionally, there’s a self-contained story about dragons that fly around and promise epic battles.
Summerset: Here we go to the island of the High Elves. There you will find those snobby pointed ears, as well as beautiful landscapes and dreamlike cities. But there are tensions beneath the shiny surface, and at the climax of the story, which began with Orsinium, the narrative finds its worthy conclusion here. Additionally, you receive the skill of Jewelry Crafting for free when visiting Summerset.
Morrowind: This chapter was the first of its kind and brought the island of Vvardenfell, a setting that especially players of the old game Morrowind will remember well in a cozy, nostalgic way. In Morrowind, you uncover the mystery of a god’s waning power and continue the story from Orsinium.
Elsweyr leads the ranking of chapters with dragons and a massive area.
So much for our ranking of the free content in ESO. If you have any comments on this, please feel free to write them in the comments. If you want to know where the journey will go in the new ESO chapter 2021, then check out our article about it here on MeinMMO.

The CR-56 AMAX is one of the strongest weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone, and the pro Nick “Nickmercs” Kolcheff recently showcased an interesting setup on YouTube. A few pros then spoke up and asked him to delete the video with the setup.
What was going on? As on almost any day of the week, the pro Warzone player “Nickmercs” released a video on his YouTube channel featuring a weapon setup he tried out in the Battle Royale.
Under the title “This will replace the Kilo! ? (Modern Warfare Warzone)” he showcased a setup of the CR-56 AMAX, which was introduced in Season 4 of Call of Duty. The heavy assault rifle inflicts heavy damage but is slightly more unstable than the weaker alternatives. Here you can find our weapon guide.
Two professional Warzone players then spoke up on Twitter:

The two streamers “averagejoewo” and “DiazBiffle” regularly participate in major Warzone tournaments and are not pleased that Nickmercs is now spreading the AMAX setup. Joe writes: “Hey Nickmercs, can you please delete your AMAX video? I would do anything, really anything for it.” Diaz adds: “I agree.”
The pros don’t want you to know this setup. MeinMMO presents the attachment combo and shows whether it is really strong enough to be kept a secret.
Pros demand Nickmercs to delete the setup video – Rightfully so?
What does the setup look like? Basically, it is a standard Warzone setup. It comes with a Monolithic Suppressor, long barrel, larger magazine, and large sight. However, as a small adjustment, he chooses the “Ranger Foregrip” instead of the Commando variant that is often seen in AMAX setups.
Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440
Sight: VLK 3.0x-Sight
Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
Ammunition: 45-Round Magazine
What’s its capability? This setup helps you gain better control over the strong vertical recoil.
The CR-56 AMAX is a heavy assault rifle and can best be described as a “tamed” AK-47. The AMAX is based on the Israeli army rifle Galil, which took many traits from the iconic AK-47. And it plays just like that – heavy. Compared to a stable Kilo 141 or the M13-Laser, you have to work much harder for your kills, as the AMAX is not one of the most stable weapons in Warzone.
The barrel, VLK sight, and underbarrel help you better control the weapon’s strong recoil. Overall, the two types of recoil are reduced by the following values:
Recoil Control – 49 %
Reduces the upward drift
Recoil Stabilization – 10 %
Reduces the side drift
Additionally, the setup increases the rifle’s range by 45 %, and the AMAX still inflicts its full damage at nearly 35 meters. If you want to see the build in action, check out Nickmercs’ English video:

Setup doesn’t perform wonders – AMAX remains more of a pro weapon
Does the setup really need to be kept secret? No, not really. The AMAX remains a sweat and pro weapon even with this setup, requiring considerable corrections while firing.
You can tell that the Commando Foregrip for horizontal recoil is missing. However, after a few initial shots, you have a relatively straight upward recoil that can be easily controlled through the attachments. This is where the attachment combo shines, but it is not truly outstanding or even “Overpowered”.
The CR-56 AMAX impresses with its damage in Warzone, not its good handling. If you haven’t tried the gun yet, you definitely should put it into one of your loadouts. When it comes to damage, no all-round weapon can rival it. Among the stable Warzone alternatives, only the MG34 is in the AMAX league, but the LMG comes with different disadvantages.

Original Resin is one of the most important resources in Genshin Impact. Therefore, farming Original Resin is particularly important. We will show you different ways to obtain this coveted resource.
Using Original Resin – What does it do? Original Resin is required for wishes. Through these wishes, you can unlock new characters. Thus, this resource is a fundamental component to utilize the gacha system in Genshin Impact. You buy intertwined fates or predetermined fates with Original Resin, and then use them for wishes.
As an alternative to wishes, you can use Original Resin to refill Original Resin. This resin is otherwise available every 8 minutes. If you can’t wait, you can use Original Resin instead. You need Original Resin for many actions and dungeons in the game – like the Coop event in October.
You can earn Original Resin through actions in the game and obtain it by using real money. To get the most Original Resin without spending real money, we will show you the best methods to obtain this coveted resource.
You can exchange Original Resin for fate items to make wishes.
Farming Original Resin – All Methods
How to earn Original Resin daily: You can earn Original Resin every day through specific actions. From Adventure Rank 12, daily commissions become available in Genshin Impact. You usually receive 40 Original Resin when you complete all these commissions.
Genshin Impact also rewards players when they simply log in daily. Sometimes Original Resin is included in these rewards. However, such actions do not occur all the time. Nevertheless, you should try to log into Genshin Impact at least briefly every day to potentially claim this bonus.
Complete all quests: In Genshin Impact, there are numerous main and side quests. Occasionally, these reward you with Original Resin. You can also see the rewards in the menu. If you are primarily interested in Original Resin, you should focus on the quests that provide this resource.
Generally, you will complete these tasks repeatedly throughout the game. Therefore, you do not necessarily have to pursue them just to receive Original Resin.
Reveal Teleport Points: Throughout the map of Genshin Impact, there are teleport points. You can quickly travel across the map using them. When you uncover these points for the first time, you will always receive Original Resin as a reward. The yield is not significant, but you will still receive a certain amount of Original Resin.
Even without the hunt for Original Resin, you should reveal these points. They will help you throughout the game, allowing you to travel quickly from point A to point B. So, Original Resin is a nice side income.
Open treasure chests: This task sounds simple, but you can find these chests everywhere on the map of Genshin Impact. You can also find Original Resin as a reward inside these chests. Often the yield is not significant, but since there are so many chests on the map, the hunt is definitely worth it.
You can also access the interactive map of Genshin Impact for this. All the locations of the chests are marked, and you just need to visit them.
Achievements grant Original Resin: You can view achievements in the menu. Typically, you complete them while playing without targeting them specifically. However, when you complete an achievement, you will also receive Original Resin as a reward.
Keep in mind that the amount of Original Resin is limited. Therefore, you should primarily complete achievements on the side.
Complete expeditions: There are numerous chapters in the expeditions, and for completing them, you can earn small amounts of Original Resin. You should complete the expeditions independently of hunting for Original Resin, as there are also other rewards that are quite strong.
Worship at the Statues of The Seven: When you worship at these statues, you must invest Anemoculus or Geoculus. Once you have done that, you will receive a substantial amount of Original Resin as a reward.
You should also utilize our guides for the Anemoculus and Geoculus to farm these and invest at the statues.
By using Anemoculus and Geoculus, you can receive Original Resin.
Use the Spiral Abyss: The Spiral Abyss is a significant source of Original Resin. However, you can only unlock the Spiral Abyss at Adventure Rank 20. In the endgame, this is likely the best place to farm Original Resin.
There are a total of 12 floors that reward you with Original Resin for completing them successfully. You can even receive up to 150 Original Resin per floor.
Floors 9-12 are especially challenging and suitable only for real veterans. However, if you master these, you can come back each week and try your luck again. This way, there is new Original Resin to earn every week. Keep in mind that there is less Original Resin on the last floor levels compared to the first ones.
Buying Original Resin – How it works
How to buy: You cannot buy Original Resin directly. Instead, there is the option to buy creation crystals in the merchant menu. You can then exchange these crystals for Original Resin.
You can exchange creation crystals for Original Resin.
If you want to buy Original Resin, you need to look for the creation crystals in the menu. For example, 60 creation crystals cost 1.09 euros. If you want a larger amount, you can also purchase 6,480 creation crystals for 109.99 euros.
The exchange for Original Resin occurs 1 to 1. You receive one Original Resin for one creation crystal.
Original Resin through monthly subscription: You can also subscribe monthly in Genshin Impact. This subscription grants you both creation crystals and Original Resin. The

When does the event start?The event starts at 6:00 PM local time. Most raids will hatch then and will remain active for exactly one hour. Some latecomers will end only after 7:00 PM.
What are the best counters?The Origin Form of Giratina is vulnerable to Dragon, Ghost, Dark, Ice, and Fairy types. So you have plenty of counter options.
Here is a list of the currently best counters:
Pokémon
Moveset
Rayquaza
Dragon Tail and Outrage
Palkia
Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor
Darkrai
Snarl and Shadow Ball
Zekrom
Fire Fang and Outrage
Dialga
Fire Fang and Draco Meteor
If you are looking for even more strong counters, check this out:
How many trainers are needed for Giratina?You can defeat the Pokémon easily with just 3 trainers – this is possible even at level 25.
For the Raid Hour, we recommend at least 5-6 trainers. This way, you will be much faster and can complete more raids in the hour.
Is there a Shiny Giratina? Yes! Since October 2020, you can catch the Origin Form of Giratina as a Shiny. You can easily recognize the difference, as the Shiny is bluish:
This is what the Shiny looks like.
Why this hour will be so great: On one hand, you have a good chance of getting the new Shiny. Many trainers are likely still missing this Shiny, and here you can complete over 10 raids in an hour.
Additionally, the Origin Form of Giratina is among the best attackers in the game. It is the best Ghost attacker and is useful for several raids. Moreover, it is also a solid attacker in the PvP League.

The editorial team of MeinMMO is launching its own gaming podcast. You will be able to listen to it here on the website, on Spotify, and iTunes – start right here with the first episode!
Attention, an important announcement follows: MeinMMO now has its own podcast! This is not a drill! I repeat: This is not a drill! And the first episode is already online.
What makes the MeinMMO podcast special? There are already some good gaming podcasts in the German-speaking area. But none like the one from MeinMMO! Just like on our website, we will primarily focus on the diverse world of MMOs and multiplayer online games. Be it a fast-paced MMO shooter like Destiny 2 or a classic MMORPG like World of Warcraft.
Our editors analyze individual games, entire MMO genres, the MMO market itself, and we are always close to the communities. We will also regularly invite experts on specific topics.
What is the first podcast about? In the first episode of our podcast, we decided to analyze Amazon’s upcoming big MMO more closely. New World has undergone drastic changes and several delays during its development. We are asking the following questions:
How did New World play at the big preview event?
Can the game convince with its game world and combat system after the many changes?
What are the chances of New World to succeed in the current MMO market?
Who is participating in the first episode? The first podcast show of MeinMMO will be led by Leya Jankowski from the editorial team. As the host, she will talk with our MMORPG editor Alexander Leitsch, whom you will recognize from the many articles he publishes every day on MeinMMO.
Additionally, we have invited a guest: Simon, who runs the YouTube channel “Entenburg”. On his channel, he mainly focuses on MMORPGs and online multiplayer games. He is also excited about New World and has watched the preview event.
Great! When will there be more? The MeinMMO podcast will now be released regularly every Wednesday. We will announce new episodes in the articles on the site. So keep an eye out.
A big thank you! At this point, we would like to thank:
Henning Oppermann, who has produced a custom intro/outro for us. The requirement was to create something EPIC, and he did it quite well.
Our colleagues from our sister site GameStar.de – they have already set up one of the largest German gaming podcasts and have supported us with advice and assistance in our first steps. Here you can find the GameStar podcasts.
Feedback? Suggestions for topics?
This is how you can participate: We are of course looking forward to constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement for our freshly baked podcast. Write us your opinion in the comments under the article or in our Discord and tell us how you liked the first episode.
But you can also make suggestions for topics for future episodes. Is there a game or a topic that is heavily on your mind? Would you like to hear specific guests? Then just shout out and put it in the comments.
We look forward to hearing from you!

The big WoW patch 9.0 is live. We will tell you what you should do first to enjoy the WoW update.
Actually, the maintenance was supposed to last until 3:00 PM, but by late morning, the WoW realms in Europe were back online. The big pre-patch 9.0 is finally live and brought a lot of changes and improvements. If you feel overwhelmed by all the new features, here’s a little guide on what you should check and tackle first.
1. Update Addons
The first login after a major patch is often a nightmare, as the interface is typically “completely messed up.” This is due to many interface addons being outdated and now having errors or not loading at all.
Currently, addons can either be updated manually, or you can use additional software. Right now, the Twitch app can still do this, but this feature will be removed in the future, and you will need to choose an alternative.
Right now, you can easily update addons through Twitch.
Keep in mind that it usually takes a few days for all interface addons to receive an update. It might be easier to simply do without addons for a few days until the creators have released the necessary updates.
2. Get Familiar with Class Changes
As is usual for a pre-patch, Blizzard has made significant changes to the classes. All 12 classes have new (or old) abilities, revamped talents, or even a new playstyle. Be sure to take a look at your spellbook and examine all abilities closely. You are sure to discover one or two abilities that hadn’t been dragged into the action bars yet. Additionally, there are likely new passive effects that will be important going forward.
Almost all classes have received major updates.
Since detailing all class changes for all 36 specializations would be too much, we refer you to the full patch notes for patch 9.0. There you will find all changes in detail.
3. Visit the Barber
Once the game is running smoothly, you should immediately take your characters to the barber. You can find them in major cities like Orgrimmar, Stormwind, or Dalaran – the guards will lead you there.
The barber also performs larger, surgical procedures.
Especially for Druids and Worgen, visiting the barber is practically mandatory since you can alter your Worgen or animal forms independently of the humanoid form.
But all other races should quickly arrange an appointment as well. Which Night Elf would want to go without leaves in their hair, and which human can now resist a proper full beard? We won’t even start on the new skin colors…
Additionally, throughout the quest lines, some interesting rewards in the form of cool weapon models will become available to you, which you can then also unlock for transmog. This way, even your old level 50 veteran can wield a cool Alliance hammer, or your burly Orc warrior can finally use a proper war axe.
On the Exile’s Reach, newcomers experience their first adventures.
The Exile’s Reach is a must if you want to introduce a newcomer to World of Warcraft. New players cannot avoid it – they must start on the island whether they want to or not.
5. Unlock Allied Races
One of the best new features is the ability to unlock the allied races of World of Warcraft quickly. You no longer need to achieve a revered reputation with the corresponding factions, but simply need to complete the respective quest line.
This saves you many hours of farming and allows you to easily enjoy new species with their own racial bonuses and customization options.
The allied races can now be easily unlocked.
Both newcomers and veterans who have previously avoided unlocking the races should now have no reason to shy away from it. So use the days leading up to the release of Shadowlands to unlock all allied races.
Is there more to come? Yes. In a few weeks, the big Scourge event will start, during which the first cinematic has already been pulled from the data. The event will seamlessly lead into the release of Shadowlands – whenever that will be. There is currently no official release date for the expansion.
But until then, the pre-patch will surely keep us entertained.

Many online games revolve around collecting better gear and becoming stronger. This plays a significant role, especially in battles against other players (PvP). This desire to be stronger than others and take revenge often leads to Pay2Win mechanics. However, Genshin Impact takes a slightly different approach and has achieved great success.
What is special about Genshin Impact? The new co-op RPG Genshin Impact takes a slightly different path than many free online games. While you can only obtain the best characters and weapons through a random gacha system, the incentives are meant to go beyond the theme of “best gear” – after all, the game does not offer PvP.
What do the developers say? Liu Wei, one of the co-founders of Genshin Impact developer miHoYo, spoke in 2017 at a conference about the company’s monetization strategy.
According to him, many mainstream games capitalize on hate and the competitive mindset between players:
At that time, mainstream games made money from the hate between players after a battle. The revenue came from competition between players. Players wanted to be stronger than others and become number 1 on a certain server.
But miHoYo wanted to stand out with a different method:
We asked ourselves why we want to pay for it: Because we love a particular virtual character, we are willing to pay for them. This payment impulse was the opposite of what mainstream games had to offer at the time.
A culture has formed around the characters in Genshin Impact with (not always age-appropriate) fawning, fan art, and memes.
Did it work? The concept of the Chinese company has succeeded. Already two weeks after release, Genshin Impact had recouped its total development costs of $100 million.
According to the South China Morning Post, miHoYo started in 2012 with a budget of $14,750 and 3 employees. By 2018, the company was said to have generated around $300 million in revenue. Additionally, around 1,500 people now work for the company.
What is behind Pay2Win? According to Urban Dictionary, Pay2Win refers to obtaining better items than other players through payment in a short amount of time. In extreme cases, this disrupts game balance so much that you can only win by spending money.
Pay2Win mainly occurs in free online games (Free-to-Play) and capitalizes on situations where players quickly become frustrated or angry:
I am facing a challenge that I keep failing. I need better gear to master it.
I was defeated by another player. Now I need better gear to take revenge.
Playing with the hate and frustration of players even works in smaller circles and without investing real money. In Vanilla WoW, for example, good gear items for characters around level 19 were sold for a high price in the auction house. They were acquired by players so they wouldn’t lose in the first battlegrounds, but could instead thrash enemies.
There were ongoing discussions about Pay2Win and real money investment around the MMORPG Black Desert.
Other games offer faster respawn or potions with extra damage. These bonuses need to be purchased and provide an advantage in PvP that non-paying players will never get.
Pay2Win is viewed very differently by players. Some are tolerant – for them, Pay2Win begins only when purchasing stronger armor or better abilities. Others see even larger inventories or XP or loot boosts as problematic.
“Clean Free2Play” is successful, Pay2Win harms MMOs
Connection works even without girls: The system that Genshin Impact uses to encourage players to pay is not exclusively tied to Pay2Win or “sexy” characters.
The shooter Fortnite entirely avoids Pay2Win yet manages to generate significant revenue with skins. Players want to “look cool”, belong, and wear the “latest clothes” – just like in real life.
By purchasing in-game content for real money, these lose their value, devaluing the efforts of “real players”. A prestige item is worth nothing if everyone has it.
The expert sees “clean Free2Play” primarily in skins like those in LoL and Fortnite as more successful and forward-looking, but also believes that developers have a responsibility to combat gold trading and similar issues.
Division Rivals in FIFA 21 distribute weekly rewards in Ultimate Team. However, it seems that for some players it is not worth playing as high as possible – what is going on?
What are Division Rivals? Division Rivals is a competitive mode within Ultimate Team. There are a total of 10 divisions, in which players are ranked based on their skills, the skill rating. Ideally, real FIFA pros are in the upper divisions while slightly weaker players are in the lower ones. This is meant to ensure that players with comparable skills meet. In the upper divisions, the rewards and especially the points for the Weekend League qualification per game are generally better.
Once a week, there are Division Rivals rewards. How rewarding these are is determined by the rank a player achieves within their own division over the week. There are a total of six ranks – the more wins collected, the higher the rank at the end. On the high ranks, the best rewards can be found. Theoretically, it is therefore worthwhile to collect as many wins as possible. Practically, however, it looks a bit different.
Is it worth playing as high as possible?
Division Rivals has a game limit in FIFA 21
FIFA 21 has an important change: Normally, in the past years, every single game played in Division Rivals counted towards the weekly ranking. This ranking is crucial for determining what rank a player achieves at the end of the week and therefore what rewards they receive.
In FIFA 21, however, only 30 matches per week count towards the ranking. This is part of the FUT changes. After that, only Weekend League points, skill rating, and coins are awarded – but the matches no longer affect the rewards.
This makes each individual win even more important. One can no longer reach the high ranks simply by playing as many matches as possible throughout the week. And this, in turn, seems to disturb some players so much that they prefer to drop a few divisions – that is, intentionally lose.
The highest division is not necessarily worthwhile
What is the problem? The community has been discussing the problem in many threads. One user on the FIFA subreddit described the situation: “Currently, I am a player in Division 1 with a skill rating of 1937.” This has been the highest he has ever had, and he has not been close to falling into Division 2 (via reddit).
He is not good enough to keep up with players who have a skill rating of over 2000, but too strong for players around 1800: “That’s why I will pretty much always remain at this low D1 level. That’s absolutely fine – that’s my skill level, and that’s okay.”
For rank 1, many wins are needed
The problem, however, is that with the new 30-game system he has no chance of obtaining the best rewards in his division: “With the current system, I will never reach rank 1 in D1 because I don’t win enough games in D1.” In the past, he could just keep collecting games until he had enough points – that is no longer possible with the limit.
This means that it would be more worthwhile for him to play in a lower division. He compares the reward for rank 2 in Division 1, which he can hardly reach, with rank 1 in Division 4, which would be easier to achieve due to weaker opponents.
Division 1, rank 2 would give him the options
55,000 coins
or 2 tradable rare mega packs
or 4 untradable rare mega packs.
Division 4, rank 1, on the other hand, would give him
65,000 coins
or 1 tradable rare players pack, 1 prime gold players pack, and 1 mega pack
or 2 untradable rare players packs, 2 prime gold players packs, and 2 mega packs.
This means: Three divisions lower, the player has realistic chances of getting better coins or packs. “Where is my incentive to stay in Division 1 for the next week?” asks the player in his post: “Why shouldn’t I finish my 30 games this week and then demote myself to D4 for next week, where I can easily land in first place without breaking a sweat?”
Basically, Division 1 is comparatively only worthwhile if one can truly reach rank 1 and score an ultimate pack or 80,000 coins there. However, that is quite difficult.
Division Rivals needs a solution
Apparently, some players have already figured out the math, as players often report opponents who intentionally give up matches and leave right at the start – presumably to downgrade. This is another problem because if the opponent gives up, one receives far fewer weekly points than if they win in a full match with many goals. Since one also has the 30-game limit, this is bad – after all, one wants to collect as many points as possible per game.
In FIFA 20, Icon Swaps caused intentional relegations
What could the solution be? Several users on reddit are demanding a seemingly simple solution: The rewards in the higher divisions must simply be more worthwhile than in the lower ones. Rank 1 in Division 4 should not promise potentially better rewards than rank 2 in Division 1. Here, the balancing simply does not seem to be right.
Additionally, it is requested that leaving matches positively impacts the “winner” at least (via reddit): “Twice now I have played a game in Division 1 where the other guy is trying to derank. He paused and left, and I only received the points for a draw,” reports a player: “In previous years, that was an annoyance, but now it has a significant impact on what rewards I can actually achieve at the end of the week.”

Rank 7 – Warden – The Lord of the Rings Online
The Warden in the MMORPG LotRO plays in a unique and tactical way.
What exactly is the Warden? Wardens are melee fighters who keep their opponents at a distance with spears. They also use shields for defense and wear only medium armor.
Wardens patrol the borders of civilized lands in the lore of LotRO and protect them from incursions by wild creatures.
What can he do? The Warden plays somewhat unusually for a fighter. He uses his spear from a certain distance to initiate combat, drawing the attention of an opponent. He then fights with a combination of spear and shield.

What makes the Warden so unusual? It is important to effectively utilize the versatility and combination possibilities of the Warden. The class must be learned as it plays differently from traditional fighters.
Wardens can initiate chain attacks through skill combinations that have devastating effects. The Warden is not easy to learn but offers enormous versatility, making it very enjoyable to play once you get the hang of it.
