The head of Electronic Arts, Andrew Wilson, praises the success and quality of Dragon Age: The Veilguard at an investor conference. This marks a return to form for BioWare. At the same time, he takes the opportunity to point out the weaknesses of the 2019 released and failed SF-MMO Anthem.
This is what Wilson says about Dragon Age: The Veilguard: On October 29, Electronic Arts held their quarterly call with investors, presenting the quarterly figures for Q2 2025. Wilson praised the quality of Dragon Age: The Veilguard to the investors:
Dragon Age is a return for BioWare to the things that made the studio great.
The role-playing game represents a crucial turning point: BioWare has now returned to developing “typical BioWare” games and has found its old BioWare strength again.
The new game would show that BioWare has again gathered around what made BioWare a studio that fans love, with a brand that fans cherish.
Wilson resorts to superlatives: It is an “incredibly rich world, with incredibly nuanced characters, a truly powerful storytelling about camaraderie, friendship, and relationships, with choices that influenced gameplay.”

Anthem was a puzzle whose pieces never fit together
What does he say about Anthem? Wilson only speaks of the 2019 hyped and then abandoned MMO shooter Anthem as a negative example of how not to do it.
Anthem was the game people remembered when they think of games that didn’t really meet what a BioWare game should be.
BioWare did something with Anthem that was “completely, completely different” from what people normally expected from a BioWare game.
The shooter used really different mechanics and modalities that then played out in a BioWare world. But “the pieces of the puzzle never really came together, at least not in the way BioWare had hoped.”
Ultimately, fans of the game, of which there were many, hoped that EA would give the SF-MMO a second chance and let the BioWare team in Austin, Texas, develop an “Anthem 2.0”. However, EA decided in February 2021 to abandon these revival attempts after a year, effectively giving up the “10-year game” after just a few months.
Other studios, such as Bethesda with The Elder Scrolls Online, Square Enix with Final Fantasy XIV, or Ubisoft with Ghost Recon, were willing to invest many resources in live-service games that had a rough start. These games improved significantly over the years. EA failed to do this with Anthem and deliberately focused its resources on other games like FIFA, The Sims, Apex Legends, or Dragon Age. That now, 5 years after disappointing fans, Anthem, which was treated so poorly by EA, has to suffer again is unfair: Anthem is dead – The short life and long death of EA’s “next big thing”

In line with the current season, several thrillers and horror movies are naturally appearing on Netflix. A new movie combines both genres and is produced by horror legend Sam Raimi. The film seems to be well received, as it is currently ranked number 1 in Germany.
Which movie is it? On October 25, 2024, Don’t Move was released on Netflix. It blends elements from horror and thriller films. The film was produced by Sam Raimi, known to horror fans primarily for the Evil Dead series. The direction was taken by Brian Netto and Adam Schindler, both of whom are still relatively unknown.
Iris, played by Kelsey Asbille, wants to take her life after her son dies in an accident. Just before it happens, she meets Richard, played by Finn Wittrock. He stops her, but as it turns out, he is a serial killer.
Iris tries to escape from him, but he has administered a poison that paralyzes her in 30 minutes. Slowly, she loses the ability to move and speak.

Don’t Move – Trailer for the nail-biting thriller on Netflix
The currently most popular movie on Netflix
What is the appeal of the film? In Don’t Move, the premise is mainly the big factor of the film. How do you escape from someone when you can slowly no longer move or scream? The setting in the woods creates a certain survival aspect.
The thrill of the film can arise when Iris, growing weaker, encounters dangerous situations, like a waterfall or an anthill. While one shouldn’t expect an innovation, not every film needs to offer that.
How is the film received? On Netflix itself, the film seems to be quite popular. It dethrones a French comedy in Germany and is currently ranked number 1 on the film charts.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film receives mixed reviews. With 31 reviews, the film has a critic score of 71%. The premise is seen as a disadvantage by many critics, as it does not reach the potential that is promised. However, positive voices praise the simple plot and entertaining experience.
With a comfortable length of nearly 90 minutes, one can expect a simple and entertaining, but probably forgettable film.
Are there any other recommendable thrillers on Netflix at the moment? If you have already seen Don’t Move or are in the mood for something else, we can currently recommend the following thriller:
Ubisoft’s loot shooter The Division 2 is now in Year 6 and continues to receive new content. Season 2 has just been released, allowing you to hunt a new target.
What kind of season is this?
On October 29, 2024, Season 2 of Year 6, titled “Rottöne” (eng.: Shades of Red), started in The Division 2.
Season 2 is free to play for all players of The Division 2.
The main goal of Season 2 is to locate and secure the hacker Theo Parness.
New content in the season includes seasonal modifiers, a new season pass, and bonus XP events.
What is the season about? The main villain of the loot shooter, Aaron Keener, has surrendered and is now in custody at the White House. However, for Keener to share his knowledge with the agents, they must locate and secure his team.
First, you need to search for the hacker Theo Parness. However, he does not trust the agents and therefore presents various challenges for you.
Here is the launch trailer for Year 6 Season 2:

The Division 2 Shows Year 6 Season 2 in the Launch Trailer
What does the new season bring? Ubisoft has changed how seasonal content is structured with this season. The season now consists of a series of missions that players must complete, all containing a challenging objective.
Additionally, there are now seasonal modifiers that are intended to give each season unique gameplay. There are four types of modifiers: Global, Active, Passive, and Hostile. The global seasonal modifier for Season 2 is called “Straight Ahead” and gives you a damage bonus depending on how far you are from your enemies.
Moreover, players can take on “a scout” each week to advance the story. Each scout consists of 3 activities. To unlock the individual activities, a puzzle must be solved. Those who complete all scouts and eliminate the main target of the season can achieve a new difficulty level.
This new difficulty level is supposed to present an even greater challenge for you and may reward success with special rewards. These rewards include a unique, exotic item.
What does the community say about the season? So soon after the season launch, there is still no clear opinion from the community regarding the latest update. On YouTube, players are surprised in the comments under the trailer that the loot shooter is indeed still getting new content.
Creeper_ofDoom writes: “[I am] amazed that they are still supporting the game.” One user asks: “Oh wow, Division 2 is still running?” After a long period where it seemed that Ubisoft was not working on new content for the loot shooter, many players are visibly surprised now.
However, there are also players who are not satisfied with the new content. One commentator wishes for a new raid or a dungeon.
The beta of Monster Hunter Wilds is already running on PS5. However, a new feature concerning the players’ beloved companions is not being well received.
Who is it about? The Palicoes are cat-like companions in Monster Hunter. They assist you in battle, help you gather resources, and look adorably cuddly while doing it. Many players have truly grown fond of the Palicoes, and they have become an indispensable part of Monster Hunter.
The beta of Monster Hunter Wild is currently running on PS5. The beta will also start on PC. For the first time, players will experience how their cat companions behave in the new installment of the Monster Hunter series. And what they see does not please them.
Here you can watch the fifth trailer of Monster Hunter Wilds:

Goodbye Meow – Hello Human Language
What is changing in the new installment? In Monster Hunter Wilds, your companion cats will take on a more significant role. They will become story-relevant characters and will therefore gain the ability to communicate with you in human language.
Your cats will start chatting with you. It’s so bad that gaming journalist Morgan Park said about his cat in the game on PCGamer.com: “He is a bit snippy, and even when he tries to be helpful by calling out a few herbs nearby, he comes off as sarcastic and almost punchable.”
The cats could already speak before, but only in their own cat language, which sounded like purring and meowing to human ears. Now, however, the companions speak to us in perfect, fluent human language.
While it is a nice thought that the developers want to do more with the beloved characters, instead of experiencing the grind with “Meow” and “Purr,” players now hear their cat’s human voice non-stop. However, there is a setting that changes everything back to the old way.
How do you teach the cats to say “Meow” again? To bring the Palicoes back to their old form, you need to specify during creation that your companion should only speak the language of cats.
If you skipped that step, you can access your companion’s editing through the main menu and change the cat’s language setting there. Besides your cats, you will also meet other players. Up to 100 players can even join a lobby, what that means can be found here: Monster Hunter Wilds promises 100 players in a lobby – But what does that mean?

The free Update 44 has been released for the PC version of The Elder Scrolls Online. MeinMMO had the opportunity to talk with lead combat and PvP designer Brian Wheeler about the new features.
This time, the new features mainly revolve around the PvP area of the MMORPG, which is why it made sense to talk to lead combat and PvP designer Brian Wheeler about the new update of Elder Scrolls Online.
What about the console version of Update 44? On Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, you will have access to the new content of Update 44 starting November 13, 2024.

The official trailer for the battlefields from Update 44 for Elder Scrolls Online:

Elder Scrolls Online: Conquer the Battlegrounds – Trailer introduces the highlight of Update 44
The main new features revolve around the heavily revamped PvP battlefields. Due to this clear focus, many players miss out on exciting new developments, which poses a risk for the developers.
Furthermore, the two new companions – a potential highlight for PvE fans – are offered for purchase through the Crown Store or ESO Plus. Additionally, some players criticize the design of one of the companions (via Reddit).
Also unfortunate: The new reward system for Golden Goals will only be activated around mid-November (via elderscrollsonline.com).
On Steam, the average rating is 83 percent (all reviews) but drops to 74 percent (last 30 days). We want to know from Brian Wheeler how these criticisms have been received in the team and how he particularly assesses the feedback on the PvP focus.
The developer emphasizes in his response how long it has been since fresh content was delivered to the PvP community. Update 44 is likely to be the largest PvP package since the introduction of battlefields in June 2017 (with the Morrowind chapter).
We are always trying to find a balance in delivering new content that is relevant to as many of our players as possible. And yes, it’s true, there are significantly fewer PvP players out there compared to PvE players. However, our goal is to change that and engage more players from the large pool for PvP.
Many players are concerned that they might get beaten badly in PvP or simply have a frustrating experience. Therefore, our attempt is to make this experience a bit more accessible. […] We just want to bring more people to the battlefields.
Brian Wheeler in interview with MeinMMO
A problem with the old 3-team battlefields was that there was always an enormous pressure on all players, Brian Wheeler continues. One mistake or an action at the wrong time was enough to end up defeated on the ground. This pressure is something they mainly want to remove in the new 8v8 mode of battlefield PvP.
On launch day, the PvP designer was able to play already seven or eight battlefield matches on the live servers. From his experience, the queues for 8v8 were very short, and the first feedback reaching the developers was consistently positive.
The battlefields of ESO now feature new team sizes and maps.
Battlefields for a new target audience
With seven new maps and various PvP modes that now need to work for completely different team compositions, optimizing must have been very complicated. We want to know from Brian Wheeler how much time was spent internally and on the public test server testing the battlefields.
The internal tests included checking whether the old maps still work for two teams at all. […] Based on the experiences from these tests, we decided to design entirely new maps for 4v4 and 8v8 respectively. […]
Four of the new maps are designed for 8v8 because we want to offer a PvP experience for a broader audience here. While the 4v4 maps feel much more competitive. We have many in the team who play PvP competitively. […]
During our internal testing, which lasted one and a half to two years, we were able to try out different layouts, map sizes, and much more. And if we take the PTS, there was a lot of good feedback there regarding game modes and queues.
Brian Wheelerin interview with MeinMMO
According to Brian Wheeler, the original plan was to go live with only two queues, one for 4v4 and one for 8v8. However, experiences from the PTS showed that more like four queues are needed: 4v4 (solo), 4v4 (group), 8v8 (solo), 8v8 (group). Accordingly, you will find these four options in the group search at the launch of the update.
That the new power-ups are only available in the 8v8 mode was also clear without large tests. In 4v4, they want to offer the pure, competitive form of battlefield PvP, where skill and the experience of a team ultimately make the difference.
In the 8v8, there is room for unpredictable, chaotic moments where a beginner with the right power-up might catch a veteran off guard, or a healer might suddenly deal lethal damage. For this reason, the 8v8 area is for the developer the optimal place to take a first look at ESO’s PvP.
For the start, I can only recommend 8v8. The experience there differs significantly from Cyrodiil, with siege weapons and large battles … but the more people there are in your team, the easier it is to stay in the background, survive and first assess the situation. […]
And the mode is simply more forgiving of mistakes. Because of the power-ups, you can compensate for weaknesses in your own build or equipment. […] It’s fun, it’s relaxed, and you can earn a lot of new rewards.
Brian Wheeler in interview with MeinMMO
Golden Goals and Cyrodiil
The Golden Goals are set to offer another incentive starting mid-November for players to try out the PvP of Elder Scrolls Online, not just battlefields, but also Cyrodiil or the Imperial City.
However, before the objectives of the goals are finalized and released, the developers want to wait for initial feedback on the battlefield changes from Update 44. No one should be put in a situation where they cannot complete a goal of the Golden Goals due to launch issues.
Lastly, Brian Wheeler reveals that the developers have not forgotten about Cyrodiil at all. When implementing new content, one has to be very careful. Seemingly small changes can have a severely negative impact on the overall performance of the war zone.
However, the PvP designer is a huge fan of the Cyrodiil battles and would love to see the fight for the Imperial City someday adapted into a video game, series, or film: “That would be fantastic, I would love it.” Unfortunately, he has no say in Hollywood. We would be in favor of it. Would you?
How many players are playing ESO?
As a final note, we have an official number for you: According to the Discover page from elderscrollsonline.com, since the launch, a total of 25 million players have played Elder Scrolls Online. In January 2024, it was still mentioned that there were 24 million players.
So, it can be assumed that in the past nine months, nearly a million new adventurers have ventured into Tamriel. However, these are not necessarily active players.
In Black Desert Online, players can level up for many thousands of hours without even coming close to an end. The first player in the world has now reached level 70, even though he entered the race 3 years after everyone else.
What is the significance of leveling in BDO? In Black Desert Online (BDO), you can essentially level up infinitely. While the process up to level 60 goes quite quickly, it slows down considerably from then on. The game’s end-level is usually considered to be level 66. However, there is no real end.
The MMORPG allows you to continuously collect experience points and level up. However, the experience points required for leveling increase significantly. For instance, you need about 20 times longer to level up from level 66 to 67 than you did from level 65 to 66.
Level 66 is considered the end level because, from there on, the experience points required for a level-up no longer increase, and you have to grind for thousands of hours for a single advancement. This makes it all the more impressive that the first player has now reached level 70.
Over the years, players in Black Desert Online have experienced many beautiful moments. You can watch them again in the following video:

First Player Reaches Level 70 Despite 3-Year Disadvantage
Why was he at a disadvantage? The first player in the world has now reached level 70 in Black Desert Online. He is likely from Brazil and plays on the South American version of the MMORPG.
Black Desert Online only launched its South American servers in 2017, 3 years after the servers were released in the West. The Brazilian, who has now reached level 70 first, achieved his goal with a handicap of 3 years during which everyone else was already leveling up.
Who is behind this? There is little known about the player. He shared his success on the platform Twitch, where his channel has only the standard description and currently just over 100 people follow him. There is only one broadcast available, which is the one in which he reaches level 70 first.
Who was previously considered the favorite? The achievement of level 70 came as a surprise to many. In recent years, the American player Breeya repeatedly managed to be the first to reach the new level. He was probably considered a favorite by many in the community to be the first player to reach level 70.
Plunderstorm in World of Warcraft returns. But this time a few things are different – as there is a shop where you can buy rewards.
Last year, World of Warcraft tried out many new things. The two biggest innovations were probably Remix: Mists of Pandaria and the Plunderstorm mode. The latter returns at the beginning of 2025 and this is likely to split the community into two camps once again. At least: This time there is a shop, which should make everything better.

WoW: Plunderstorm – this is how the battle royale mode works
Battle Royale in World of Warcraft
What kind of game mode is this? Plunderstorm drops characters either solo or as small teams onto the map of Arathi Highlands and lets them compete against each other in a battle royale. However, there are not the normal WoW abilities, but a whole set of new skills that you acquire throughout the match – or can steal from other characters. Who remains alive last wins the round.
The main goal here is, however, to collect loot (“plunder”). This not only increases the character level in the game mode but also grants the currency with which rewards can be unlocked.
What is different this time? It is still unclear whether the game mode will play out differently and if there will be new abilities. What is clear, however, is that there are no glory rewards to be unlocked gradually this time. Instead, you should be able to spend the loot in a kind of shop.
Even though no details are known yet: The advantage here is clearly that you can specifically buy the rewards you want and leave everything else aside. There should also be the possibility to earn the rewards from past events.
Why was the mode controversial? Players of World of Warcraft are “creatures of habit” in many ways and often struggle when something new appears in the game that seems to clash with the previous gameplay. A battle royale that comes with completely new abilities and even its own controls has therefore not been to everyone’s taste – in addition to the fact that it is a purely PvP event.
However, there is also a quite large part of the community that is already looking forward to the return of the mode and hopes that there will be even more variations in the future. Because the mode also provided a lot of fun.

In Pokémon GO you can evolve the Pokémon Iscalar. However, to evolve it into Calamanero, you need to pay attention to something. We at MeinMMO have looked into how the evolution works and will show you.
What kind of Pokémon is this? Iscalar is a monster of the Dark and Psychic type. It comes from the 6th generation and has been available in the game since September 8, 2021. Additionally, it can evolve into Calamanero. We will show you how this is done.
How to evolve Iscalar
Unlike other Pokémon, the evolution of Iscalar is something very special. Niantic had already hinted in their announcement that the usual 50 candies for evolution will not be enough (via pokemongolive.com).
Already on the Nintendo 3DS and on the Nintendo Switch, players had to turn the device upside down to trigger an evolution for Iscalar. This is now similar in Pokémon GO. In addition to the 50 candies, you must also turn the monster and thus your smartphone.
As you can see in the following YouTube video from M S Gaming BD, you first open the Iscalar you want to evolve. Then you turn your smartphone 180° so that you can see everything upside down. After that, you click the “Evolve” button as usual. This will deduct the 50 candies and the evolution into Calamanero will be carried out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1gT1LTbTXw
If you do not turn your smartphone upside down, you will receive a corresponding message when clicking the Evolve button that Iscalar needs help to evolve.
To be able to evolve Iscalar, you obviously need this monster and must also collect a corresponding amount of candies. Therefore, you should catch as many as possible. Iscalar has been found in Pokémon GO since September 8, 2021.
It spawns more frequently in the wild during the event period of the Psychic Spectacle. Additionally, you can encounter it in Level-1 Raids or receive it in the special quests for the event. It is currently unknown how often and where Iscalar will be available after the end of the Psychic Spectacle. If there is new information about this, you will find it here on MeinMMO.
What do you think about this unusual way to evolve Iscalar? And how do you like its evolution Calamanero? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.

Training was the downfall of numerous employees of an international auditing firm. They wanted to learn too much at once.
Why were the people dismissed? The global auditing company Ernst & Young internally reserves a week each year for continuing education called EY Ignite Learning Week. During this week, employees of the company headquartered in the UK must achieve a set score through attended trainings. These take place online in the form of webinars that are broadcast live and cannot be made up at a later time.
A not-specified double-digit number of employees, however, behaved incorrectly in the eyes of their employer. They did not attend one session, but instead participated in two seminars simultaneously via web browser. Ernst & Young responded to internal audits with termination of employment.
Reports on the case summarize, among others, Fortune or CBSNews. The Financial Times originally brought the story to light and spoke with both the company and those dismissed.

Clever multitasking or fraudulent negligence?
What does Ernst & Young accuse the dismissed of? The company accuses them of violating the code of conduct and US teaching guidelines. Furthermore, they express themselves to the Financial Times as follows:
Our core values of integrity and ethics are at the forefront of everything we do.
For all upcoming training weeks, Ernst & Young has explicitly adjusted the internal guidelines. In the future, only one session may be attended at a time.
What do the dismissed say? According to the Financial Times, the interviewees confirm that they watched several sessions at once. However, they had no ulterior motives, such as wanting to shorten their work time, as points can be accumulated more quickly this way.
Instead, they claimed to behave exemplary by following the mantra of multitasking that is supposedly upheld at Ernst & Young. Furthermore, they stated that the course material was of interest to them in all cases and they did not want to miss any of the sessions running in parallel.
Problems in the past at Ernst & Young
Does the incident have a backstory? We do not know all internal processes, but an event from 2022 sheds light on proven offenses by employees. At that time, several auditors at Ernst & Young cheated during an audit in order to renew a government license. The company had to pay a fine of around 92 million euros, as explained in more detail by Fortune.
The industry in which the company operates requires a high level of trust from the state in the corporation and its employees. It involves billions in revenue each year and a multitude of tax regulations that must be adhered to in America, Europe, and beyond.
Harry Potter: Magic Awakened should unite fans of the wizard and MMO players. The mobile game was released in June 2023, but now, around a year later, the servers in Europe and America have been shut down.

How are players coping with the end for Harry Potter? On Reddit, there are many threads where players are actually switching to an Asian server. However, it doesn’t feel great for some to switch to a server that is actually meant for the other side of the world:
For some players, the time difference is a problem, which comes into play during events.
The servers might feel fuller than in the West, which could be due to the spam of emojis and GIFs in the chat.
The new server would not feel like “home.”
One user even writes that a part of him died with the shutdown of the servers. Many commenters feel similarly. They are sad that the servers for Harry Potter: Magic Awakened have been closed.
What kind of game was Harry Potter: Magic Awakened? The mobile game offered many features such as a turn-based combat system, a campaign, and PvP duels. It was even possible to participate in Quidditch.
Various characters appeared in the game that fans know from the books. No wonder, as the mobile game took place only 10 years after the events of the books. Thus, the game started alongside Hagrid.

N’Golo Kanté played a strong game against Al Riyadh and secured the 1-0 final score with his goal. If he receives a TOTW card, it would be a perfect addition to the new Diaby card.
The gaming company Ubisoft has been flirting with the idea of using the controversial technology blockchain for years. Now they have released their first game utilizing this technology. Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles (PC). The in-game micropayments are NFTs: The most expensive one costs nearly 59,000 euros, the price of a mid-range BMW.
The technology suggested that players could create “real values” in a game, acquiring uniquely signed digital items that could be traded and increase in value. However, NFTs turned out to be a short-lived trend that was sharply criticized by gamers. Even showcase projects saw massive losses and proved to be a money pit.
Nonetheless, Ubisoft has now launched Champions Tactics. According to Ubisoft, it is a “tactical RPG for PC focusing on PvP.”
The game revolves around collecting figures of various warriors in the fantasy world Grimoria: With three of these warriors, players embark on a journey and fight in turn-based combat against other players.

Launch trailer for Champions Tactics, Ubisoft’s NFT RPG
Game reflects the look of tabletop miniatures
What does the trailer show? In the trailer, it is clear that the look of the game and how the game figures are represented resembles a digitized version of tabletop miniatures, as seen in Warhammer: digital miniatures. Little of the actual gameplay is visible.
Shop poses ridiculous prices for miniatures, but no one buys them
This is the idea behind the game: The in-game marketplace (via championstactics) of the new game from Ubisoft sells miniatures that cost between a few euros and 59,000 euros. For that money, you could get a new BMW 5 Series sedan.
However, for 59,000 euros you also get the “Swift Zealot” in the game.
In principle, the game is free to acquire. However, the expensive miniatures do not seem to be selling well. At first glance, the most expensive limited miniature sold so far appears to be the figure “Thorned Diviner,” available for about 300 euros.
Is anyone interested? There is often an initial gold rush sentiment at the release of such games because this is where the lines between game and investment blur. Potential investors see these games as opportunities to make quick money if they hit gold. The Twitter account of Champions Tactics has a rather impressive 108,000 followers.
However, the launch trailer has only about 3,200 views – that is very low. The comments are correspondingly vicious.
Ubisoft seems to be investing significantly in influencers to promote the ultimate Web3 turn-based RPG by Ubisoft.
However, one must warn against investing in such projects: Often, players who enthusiastically jump into such projects lose their money after an euphoria-filled initial phase and do not get it back.
What lies behind it. NFTs are actually an idea that seemed buried in the mothballs of the video game industry. The entire system was harshly criticized. The gaming industry wanted to explain to players that they could only create real digital values with NFTs and blockchain.
GTA 6 will be one of the groundbreaking titles of the coming years for many players. Many fans are already looking forward to the new title from Rockstar Games and can hardly wait for the release. A former GTA developer says that things were different in the past.
What kind of stress is Rockstar under? GTA 5 has sold across multiple console generations and set new standards in the video game industry. Many players and experts therefore have high expectations for GTA 6.
In addition, there are many details that Rockstar has to deal with:

How was a release back then? Vermeij reminisced about the “good old days” and recalled the launch of GTA San Andreas, which took place about 20 years ago. Back then, releases were handled differently, and the stress subsided about 6 weeks before the actual launch.
Obbe Vermeij worked at Rockstar from 1995 to 2009. He experienced the release of GTA Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, GTA 4, The Lost and Damned, and Chinatown Wars as Technical Director. Today he is the owner of GabberGames and Learnia Inc.
The turning point, at which the stress lifted from the team, was the moment when the DVD was produced. This was approximately 6 weeks before the actual release.
From that point on, the developers could not influence much anymore, which is why they were much more relaxed at the launch than they would be today.

According to him, most developers even took vacations during the release and thought about the next project. There were no Day-One patches, and players did not know much about the game because, aside from a few trailers, there was no information available.
According to Vermeij, leaks were hardly a problem back then. In contrast, GTA 6 is struggling with many data leaks, through which numerous pieces of information have already come to light. As a result, we already know more about the game than Rockstar would prefer. All information about GTA 6 can be found in the MeinMMO hub: GTA 6: Release, Trailer and Map – What we know so far about the action game

The League of Legends world championship is currently taking place. For days, players have been fascinated by a clip showing the world champion of LoL, Faker on Sylas, battling one of the best players in the world, Chovy.
Veteran Faker (28) played the champ Sylas. At the beginning of the clip, he has very little health left. Normally, his only option would be to teleport back to base. Faker is considered the best and most famous LoL player ever, but it has been said for years that he is past his prime.
Faker outplays the 5 years younger star player Chovy
What does the clip show? Even though Faker has so little health that any mistake he makes could be fatal and Chovy just needs to hit him once with Ahri, Faker plays the situation perfectly.
He dodges Ahri’s attacks while striking back precisely with a hit-and-run tactic and is safe again when Chovy goes on the attack.
In the end, Chovy must retreat to the safety of his own tower, as Ahri loses the duel significantly.

Faker’s clip is not shown in the big broadcast, yet goes viral
This is how it is commented on: The 20 seconds in the clip were not shown in the official broadcast, but the scene was so significant that it was discovered and spread first in South Korea and then worldwide. On Reddit, the scene was the most popular clip of the past week.
Here, it is also analyzed why Faker seeks the fight even though he has so little health. The strategic situation on the map requires that Faker binds Chovy in the mid lane so that he cannot support his team on other lanes.
On Reddit, people believe that Faker played a “mind game” throughout the series with the younger Chovy and implied through his playstyle that Faker is still the alpha of LoL and plays in a league of his own. He even chased Chovy in another scene down to the groups. This has reportedly unsettled Chovy and thrown him off his game, according to discussions on Reddit.
Players are also impressed by the scene because Faker has shown weaknesses throughout the year but seemingly reaches his top form when it matters.

On Twitter, some chuckle at the scene that shows Faker’s perspective of the fight. That can’t possibly be real. Everyone knows that when Faker is playing LoL, he also has 3 other games open and is doing his taxes. This refers to a quirk of the South Korean player, who can rapidly change perspectives in LoL to keep everything in view: Normal people see Faker’s screen during a World Championship game – Can’t handle it

Step 1: Build the Jetgun or pull it from the Mystery Box
The Jetgun, also known as Thrustodyne M23, is an important wonder weapon you need for the first steps of the Easter Egg. With it, you can pull components from distant points on the map to assemble them later.
You can either pull the Jetgun from the Mystery Box with some luck or assemble it at the workbench with components in motel room 202.
Here is the Motel room 202The workbench is in the room, but you need the components
Since not every player is that lucky, we will show you the components and their locations that you need for assembly:
Find the water valve
The first component for the Jetgun can be found at the store “Lily’s Flowerpot”. In front of the flower shop, which is directly across from the bank, there is a pipe with a green water valve. Interact with this using the Square button (PS5), X button (Xbox), or F key (PC). You will now be able to pick up the valve.
The water connection is directly in front of the storeYou need to steal this green water valve nowThe water valve now belongs to you
Next, head to the bowling alley. There you will find a yellow box for water pressure on the right lane next to a wall. This is where you will place your valve. Open the box by shooting it with your weapon.
Here is the bowling alleyNow you need to shoot the yellow box
While you secure the valve, zombies will constantly spawn. So you’ll need to turn the valve while being hunted, without getting killed. Make sure to gather all the zombies, destroy them simultaneously, and then turn the valve for a few seconds.
You can use flashbangs and monkey bombs to stop and distract the zombies to give you more time when turning. Once the valve is fixed, you will receive the water pressure gauge as your first component.
The water pressure must rise, but watch out for the zombies behind youThe next component is the water pressure gauge
Find the handbrake
The handbrake is the second component. You can find it in a shed near the church. To gain access to this shed, you first need to eliminate the graveyard keeper at the graveyard to the right of the church.
The graveyard keeper must not escape!After defeating him, he drops the shed key
This is a zombie wearing a hat and overalls. He spawns randomly with a purple lightning bolt in the cemetery, checks the grass, and disappears again. So you have to be quick to not miss him. Once you defeat him, you will receive the shed key.
With this key, go to the shed and open the door. On the wooden table, you will now find the handbrake.
The shed is located to the right of the graveyard behind a houseOpen the door and collect the handbrake
Find the power cable
To find the power cables, you need to acquire a Mangler Cannon. These are dropped randomly by Manglers. However, you can also obtain one for scrap – use a crafting table and switch to the “Support” tab. The cannon costs 1250 scrap.
Equipped with the cannon, you now need to visit the store “Radio House”. The electronics store is firmly locked, but with a shot from the cannon, you can blow the door open.
You can buy a Mangler cannon for 1250 scrapWith the cannon, you now shoot the door open
In the store, interact with each cable pile on the floor until one of them spawns power cables. Collect these and head to motel room 202 to pick up your Jetgun.
Search through the cables for the last componentEventually, the cables will spawn from one of the pilesBack in room 202 to build the Jetgun
Be careful when building: You should build the Thrustodyne M23 or Jetgun only at the end of a round. Many zombies spawn from your room, and you can quickly be surrounded.
Step 2: Interact with the SDG Generator in the church
With your Thrustodyne M23 in tow, you can now interact with the SDG Generator in the church. Use the same button as when picking up items and listen to Panos’ conversations. The generator is located on the right side of the church against the wall.
Step 3: Find and assemble the parts for the LTG device
The next step will have you go on a treasure hunt. You need to build the LTG device, but for that, you need three components scattered throughout Liberty Falls. Now your Jetgun comes into play. With it, you can pull these scattered parts from their “hiding spots” to you. You must now visit these locations:
Location: First LTG piece (church)
The first LTG piece can be found directly in the church. Look up at the ceiling, you will find a round part there. Pull it in with your Jetgun.
You can find the first piece directly above you in the church
Location: Second LTG piece (comic book store)
The second LTG piece can be found in “Olly’s Comics”, the comic book store. Go into the store and head towards the cash register. At the ceiling by the broken paneling, you can suck in the second piece.
Look at the ceiling, there you will find the second piece at the opening
Location: Third LTG piece (barber)
The last LTG piece can be found on the first floor of the barber’s/hairdresser’s. To do this, go onto the roof of the barber’s and jump from there onto the roof of the white van that is directly opposite the barber. Aim at the right open window of the barber and suck in the last piece.
Aim directly at the barber’s window
Assemble the LTG parts
To assemble the parts, you must go to the roof of the bank. Buy one of the gondolas that are located in Liberty Falls. We recommend taking the one at the cemetery. On the northern side of the roof, you will find the workbench.
Follow the arrow to the LTG workbenchBuild the LTG and collect it
Step 4: Capture the first HVT with the Aether canister
Equipped with the LTG, you now need to return to the church and interact with the SDG Generator to collect the first Aether canister. Note that the canister will slow you down once equipped.
Collect the first canister at the generator
Now head towards the spawn point and place the canister near an Aether trap. You can recognize this by its round design and wiring.
Now head towards the Aether storm that is nearby. There, drop off the LTG. A sequence will start where you need to protect the LTG for one minute. So kill every zombie near you.
Pay attention to your integrity and kill all zombies near you
Once the minute has passed, a special zombie will spawn. Lure him towards the Aether canister and activate the Aether trap. Now defeat the Mangler while he is within the radius of the activated trap. Once he is defeated, his soul will be loaded into the canister and you must pick this up.
Now a timer will appear. You need to return to the church as quickly as possible and deliver the canister at the SDG Generator. So ignore every enemy and run as fast as you can.
Ignore everything and hurry to the church to deliver the canister
Step 5: Activate all sensors with the Strauss counter
After you have delivered the first canister, the SDG Generator will hand you the Strauss counter. With this, you will only go to the three installed sensors and calibrate them.
The sensors are located at the following positions:
On the grassy area opposite the Perk-a-Cola “PhD Flopper”
Across from the shed where you picked up the handbrake (next to the graveyard)
On the roof of “Yummy Freeze” – To do this, go to the roof of the bank and buy your way up
You need the Strauss counter for the next step
Interact with one of the sensors. A colored light will now turn on, which can be either red, green, or yellow. Now take out your Strauss counter and check what color the counter shows you. Depending on what you see, you have to change the color of the sensor by interacting as follows:
If the Strauss counter shows green, the sensor must be red
If the Strauss counter shows yellow, the sensor must be yellow
If the Strauss counter shows red, the sensor must be green
The counter shows green, so the sensor must be redThe counter shows yellow, so the sensor must be yellowThe counter shows yellow again, so the sensor remains yellow
If you have set all sensors correctly, you need to return to the spawn. There is a machine next to the gas station “Pump & Pay” that holds the second Aether canister for you. Collect it.
This machine holds the second Aether canister
You should note: If you fail during your first attempt and try the Easter Egg again, you will encounter different colors for the sensors and the Strauss counter. They always cycle and are never the same.
Step 6: Capture the second HVT with an Aether canister
Take the second Aether canister with you and head to the road that leads up to the church. Place the Aether canister near the Aether trap again. Now return to the first Aether storm and collect your LTG device there. Take it to the second Aether storm located at the cemetery next to the church.
Defend your portal before it gets destroyed by zombies
Now you need to defend your LTG device for one minute while it charges. Afterward, another special zombie will appear, which you must defeat within the radius of the Aether trap. After your victory, the soul will jump into the canister and you must once again run with the canister to the church and plug it into the generator.
The special zombie is hunting youThe HVT was pulled into the canisterQuickly bring the canister to the church
Step 7: Preparation for the final fight
Now comes an important step before triggering the final battle of the Easter Egg – preparation. The fight will send you into a tight room with no escape. So you need strong perks, weapons, and items to support you in the fight, as many zombies and elite enemies will rush at you. Here’s what you should accomplish first:
Pack-a-Punch your weapons to at least level 3
Weapons you should use are either the Ray Gun or Mustang & Sally
Get a revive
Buy or find a mutation package to make yourself invincible for a short time in a critical situation
Use the following colas:
Juggernog
Speed Cola
Stamin-Up
PhD Flopper (to avoid killing yourself with a Ray Gun or Mustang & Sally)
What is the Mustang & Sally?
The Mustang & Sally is a legendary weapon that has been featured in almost every zombie mode. In Black Ops 6, it is the GS-45 in Akimbo, which can then be transformed into Mustang & Sally at the Pack-a-Punch. The weapon is one of the strongest imprints in the game – it fires grenade launcher ammunition that deals high explosive damage at any distance.
Step 8: Activate the SDG Generator
Once you are prepared, you need to activate the generator. After that, the doors of the church will close, and you must defeat all enemies that spawn. Eventually, the red Mangler that you defeated in a previous step will appear. You must defeat him again.
Activate the machine as soon as you are ready
Then, more groups of zombies will attack you. Eventually, the captured Abomination will appear – you must defeat this as well. Once you’ve dealt with both, you will be “killed”, before a short video sequence appears. If that happens, you have successfully completed the Easter Egg.
Rewards for the Liberty Falls Easter Egg
Those who have completed the Easter Egg will receive the following rewards:
Banner
PJ-SRU ray gun (skin for the ray gun)
5,000 XP
The golden skull is only awarded to players who completed the Easter Egg first
If you also complete the Easter Egg before the start of the story mode, you will receive an alternative version of the banner with a golden skull. This is meant to show other players that you were one of the first to complete the Easter Egg before it was simplified.
The games for PS Plus Essential in November 2024 for the PS5 and PS4 have been officially announced. We will give you a brief overview of the games. The games will be available starting November 5, 2024.
What PS Plus games are available in November 2024? In November 2024, there will again be three games that you can get with the PS Plus subscription:
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged (PS4/PS5)
Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS4/PS5)

PS Plus games available: November 5, 2024, around 12:00 PM.
These are the games in November 2024
Everything important about PS Plus Essential in November 2024
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged: Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 is the sequel to the first installment but with new features. In addition to new racetracks, you can perform cool moves and stunts while racing with the toy cars.
Ghostwire: Tokyo: The game from Bethesda sends you to Tokyo. The entire population disappeared thanks to an occultist and now you must take revenge. With various powers, you fight through the wet city and defeat various creepy creatures.
Death Note Killer Within: In Death Note Killer Within, you must survive or eliminate players in a similar system to Among Us within the Death Note universe. The game is new and will be released on November 5, 2024.
What else do I need to consider? Once the new games are available, the old ones will be removed from the selection. Until then, remember to add the current PS Plus games for October 2024 to your library.
If you want to get the games, you must have the paid “PS Plus” subscription for your PS4 or PS5. Sony significantly raised the price for PS Plus at the end of 2023. If your subscription is still active, you are not affected by this yet. For the three free games, the basic Essential subscription is sufficient; you don’t need Extra or Premium for that.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, up to 100 players are supposed to be in a lobby together. MyMMO has found out how many players there really are in the new installment.
What is the deal with the lobbies? In Monster Hunter Wilds, there should be lobbies with up to 100 players, as promised by an image on the game’s website. This is an unusually large number of players for the “Monster Hunter” series, where usually only four players interact with each other.
Accordingly, users on Reddit were also confused. The image was shared there and caused uncertainties for many. However, not much will change about the known system.
Here you can watch the 5th trailer of Monster Hunter Wilds:

100 players, but not really
Will Monster Hunter Wilds become an MMO? The 100 players in a lobby initially sound like a lot, but they are not. A lobby in Monster Hunter Wilds serves only to connect players with each other.
Even in Monster Hunter Wilds, you will continue to experience most game content with a group of four hunters. At each base camp, you will meet up to 15 other hunters with whom you can team up.
However, if you go to another base camp, you will meet new players there again. These new players at the different base camps are all in the same lobby as you. So you will not be able to hunt monsters with 99 other players.
How many players can you roam with? Despite the 100-player lobbies, Monster Hunter remains true to its known system. If you are not currently engaged in raid-like hunts such as the World’s Kulve Taroth Siege Event, you will be hunting together with three other players.
As in the other parts of the series, you can also play independently and do not have to stick together like in an MMORPG.
How can you play with your friends? If you do not end up in the same lobby as your friends, that’s not a problem. Monster Hunter Wilds offers what are called Link Parties for this purpose. Link Parties can consist of up to four players.
The players you are in one of these groups with can play with you, even if you are in different lobbies. Additionally, players from Link Parties stay together even after the completion of quests, receive a notification when someone starts a quest, and have the option to join in as well as a dedicated chat and voice chat for communication.

In Throne and Liberty, the Halloween event is currently taking place with the event dungeon Haunted Labyrinth and the event boss Embergourd. MeinMMO will tell you how to conquer the event dungeon.
Haunted Labyrinth: In Throne and Liberty, there is currently the new event dungeon Haunted Labyrinth. It is a level 50 dungeon that you can only enter with a strength of 1,600. Opening the boss chest costs you one Candy Corn. This is the new event currency that you can earn during the event.
To reach the event boss, you must first navigate through a labyrinth with various tasks and complete them. Additionally, the boss Embergourd has three mechanics and a fixed attack pattern. MeinMMO shows you the way to the final boss and reveals how you can defeat him.

The Path Through the Labyrinth in the Halloween Event Dungeon
Finding theKey: To reach the event boss, you first need to overcome a parkour full of tasks. First, you should find the key in a room full of pumpkins. It’s best to have a tank with you who attracts and distracts the monsters while the others search for the key in the pumpkins. Once a player finds the key, everyone will receive a notification.
Pumpkin Cart: After that, you will reach a pumpkin cart that you can continue flying with. However, it runs out of gas on the way. The pumpkins around will refill it. Run to a pumpkin, carry it to the cart, and interact with its mouth to fill it with pumpkin fuel.
During the further journey with the pumpkin cart, two pumpkin soldiers will appear, executing a charge attack. You must block it; otherwise, you will fall off the vehicle and die.
Mini-Boss Mechanic: Then you will encounter a mini-boss. This mini-boss summons three pumpkin heads that will chase individual players. These must be lured to the gravestones.
Additionally, he will pick a random player and throw small pumpkins at him. If other players are nearby, the pumpkin will jump to them. So keep your distance from your teammate.
Furthermore, he makes two lines appear on the ground and then places a pumpkin that will subsequently emit a cone-shaped fire blast. Be sure to pay attention to the markings on the ground and dodge them before the pumpkin spits fire.
Then you have defeated the mini-boss and may continue in the dungeon.
Rolling Pumpkin Trap: The final hurdle resembles something from Indiana Jones. You must roll as a pumpkin through a long corridor. However, a large pumpkin is coming towards you, which you can avoid by squeezing into the indentations of the windows in time. This way, you can pass the large pumpkin without being caught. If even one member of the team makes it to the end, everyone can roll safely along the corridor afterward.
After that, the event boss Embergourd awaits you with three mechanics and several attack patterns.
Haunted Labyrinth: Embergourd Halloween Event Boss Mechanics
The event boss has three different mechanics that MeinMMO presents to you so you can defeat him.
Pumpkin Lanterns
Three lanterns are placed in the arena while the boss envelops itself in a shield. The players must push the lanterns toward the boss to break the shield and inflict damage on the boss.
If the players fail to do so in time, the lanterns will explode, stunning the group and causing significant damage. Additionally, the boss retains its shield, which must now be destroyed through many attacks.
Pumpkin Wave
The boss unleashes three waves of pumpkins on the players. It’s best to position yourself at the back to get the best overview. Some of the pumpkins are lighter than others, and you need to run towards those to turn into a pumpkin yourself.
If you are not a pumpkin by the end of the waves, you will be caught in the massive explosion that can cause significant damage.
Fly Transformation
When the boss has low health points, he transforms all players into flies and places them at the edge of the arena. Your goal now is to fly to the boss as quickly as possible while avoiding the bats that cross your flight path.
A circular light appears on the ground; if this reaches the small ring around the boss, you must press the designated key in your skill bar to use the new skill that allows you to land on the ground. This prevents you from being caught. Press the key again to continue flying.
If you fail to reach the boss in time before he unleashes his attack, you will take damage. In fact, you can time it to the boss without having to land with the extra ability.
Emberground is the final boss of the Haunted Labyrinth.
Haunted Labyrinth: Embergourd Halloween Event Boss Attack Patterns
Apart from his mechanics, the event boss follows a certain attack pattern that maintains the same order:
Fireballs > Pull > Fireballs > Magma Cannon > Fire Cone
Fireballs
The boss throws three fireballs in succession at the person marked with an orange light. This is his basic attack. The healer could keep an eye on the marked person to assist them if needed.
Pull
When he raises his hands, he pulls all players towards himself. After that, an orange area lights up on the ground around the boss, which explodes. This is followed by another orange ring along the outer edges of the first circle, causing damage. Sprint away from the boss quickly after the pull and then run back to him to escape the second orange ring so you are not hit. You can also use abilities that teleport you.
Magma Cannon
This is the boss’s charge attack. He charges a magma cannon and fires it at random players. You can parry this attack with your block ability.
To block correctly, you need to time it when the large purple circle becomes smaller and touches the inner purple circle. If you achieve a perfect block, you can even attack with an extra ability on the same key afterward.
Fire Cone
A player will be marked with a light, then the boss raises his lantern, says “Trick … or be eaten!” and places a cone-shaped marker on the ground. Fire then spreads across the area, causing damage. Stay away from the marked person and the area on the ground.
Now you know how to complete the dungeon, how to defeat the mini-boss, as well as the attacks and mechanics of the event boss. Therefore, nothing stands in the way of your event enjoyment.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 there is a perk that is particularly strong right now and gives you a unique advantage in PvP.
What are perks in CoD? In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, you can equip up to 3 extras in your multiplayer loadouts. These are perks that give you various advantages on the battlefield, such as increased tactical sprint duration or quieter movements.
If you equip three perks from the same category – that is, 3x Executioner (red), Recon (blue), or Strategist (green) – you receive a fourth, particularly good perk: the Combat Specialty.
Start video
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 shows its new multiplayer in the trailer
Free Wallhack at Every Spawn
Which perk dominates multiplayer? The Combat Specialty “Recon” is currently particularly strong in Black Ops 6. You can use it if you have equipped three blue extras.
“Recon” allows you to see enemy players through walls for a short time after respawning. In plain terms, this means: You get a wallhack after spawning that lasts for several seconds and marks every opponent in red through all walls.
With the perk, you can even see which direction your opponents are running and either intercept them or use this information strategically to take an objective where there are likely to be few or no opponents at all.
What do players say about the perk? The specialty is equally loved and hated by players. On one hand, they complain on social media that the perk is too strong and needs to be nerfed.
User RellicNooc writes, for example, on Reddit: “The wallhack effect needs to be nerfed, it is way too overpowered!” There is much agreement in the comments. In a small poll on Reddit, the result was that the perk is not good for the game.
On the other hand, the perk is currently very popular – especially among players who care about winning or having a good KD (kill-death ratio). You can find the specialty particularly among esports players, streamers, and the player at the top of your scoreboard.
To reach the top of the scoreboard yourself, you not only need the right perks but also a good weapon. The submachine gun “KSV” is currently one of the best weapons in the game. Here we present the meta build for the KSV: CoD Black Ops 6: KSV Build – The best loadout for the meta SMG
