In Final Fantasy XIV starts a new “Mog Mog Collection” event, bringing many rewards. One of the main prizes is the Falcon, a mount that players could obtain for the last time 3 years ago.
About this mount: The Falcon is a small airship designed for one person and manufactured by the Garlond Ironworks. Originally, it was only available for a short time and only for players who had subscribed for 90 days between July 1, 2017, and September 30, 2017.
After that, the mount disappeared for a long time. It returned briefly 2 years later on September 30, 2019, along with a previous “Mog Mog Collection” event. At that time, players could earn the mount by completing certain content and collecting Uncommon Allagan Mythology Stones.
Left: Falcon in the air. Right: Falcon on the ground
After the event, there were 3 years of silence regarding the mount, but starting next week, the Falcon will again be obtainable.
How to get the mount: The upcoming Mog Mog Collection follows the same rules as the previous one. From December 12, the traveling Mogrils in the 3 starting cities will provide new rewards.
You can find traveling Mogrils at these locations. The rewards are the same at all 3 Mogrils.
The Falcon Key is an item that you can exchange from the Mogrils starting next Monday for 50 Allagan Creation Stones. The stones are available in the following content:
The content “Dun Scaith” and “Castrum Meridianum – Praetorium”: 7 stones per run
The 24-man raid “The City of Tears”: 5 stones per run
PvP maps “Hidden Gorge”, “Onsal Hakair”, “Field of Glory”, “Sharlayan” and “Outer Ruins”: 3 or 5 stones per run
Dungeons “Halatali (hard)”, “Brullvox’s Den (hard)” and “Castrum Meridianum – Outskirts”: 4 stones each per run
Content “The Nothing Arche”, “Porta Decumana”, “Fortress Dzemael”, “Sager’s Cry” and “Sunken Temple of Qarn”: 3 stones each per run
Trials “Duel on the Kugane Bridge”, “Revenge in the Ruins” and “Duel on the Great Bridge”: 3 stones each per fight.
The event is mainly aimed at new players in FFXIV and offers them a simple option to acquire cool cosmetic items. All the content where the special event currency can be farmed does not require characters at the highest level.
More about mounts in FFXIV can be found here on MeinMMO:
How long does the event last? If you want to farm the mount, there is no rush. The current “Mog Mog Collection” event ends with the start of Patch 6.3. Although the update does not have a release date yet, it was already mentioned in the last producer stream that it will not be released until next year.
You still have until about early January to get the Falcon, and can farm the mount at your leisure while completing your daily random content.
There are also the following: Aside from the Falcon, especially new FFXIV players can secure many cosmetic items. The “grand prize” is a Namazuo scarf (see image), which costs 100 stones. It does not have any status values or other bonuses, but it is a unique item that cannot be found anywhere else.
Other prizes available at the event.
Additionally, there is a whole range of mounts that can be obtained:
Blue Kamuy
Albino Karakul
Drake
Dark Wolf
Xanthos
Enbarr
Dark Lanner
Sophia-Lanner
For the lucky owners of a house or apartment, there are stylish furniture items like the indoor pond or the marble alcove bed. Fans of glamour can look forward to lost Allagan gear, which can only be obtained in PvP.
If you are more interested in cosmetic items from current content, we have something for you:
In the strategy RPG “For the King”, you embark on a journey to save a kingdom. In turns, you fight against evil creatures alongside up to two other players and explore the world. The game has received very positive reviews on Steam. A second part has already been announced.
What kind of game is For The King? The game is a strategy RPG with RPG and combat elements. It incorporates mechanics from tabletop games and is turn-based.
What is For The King about? The king has been murdered by an unknown assailant, and chaos has erupted in the kingdom of “Fahrul”. Overwhelmed by the crisis, the queen asks the populace for help to save the land from destruction. The players set out on a journey to end the chaos.
Here you can see the launch trailer for For The King:

For The King – Launch Trailer
Travel in threes through the kingdom and fight strategically
What does the gameplay in For The King look like? As a group of three adventurers, you set out on your journey. You explore the game world with its dungeons, defeat enemies, and travel to different cities.
The maps are always generated anew, as are events, missions, and loot. This keeps every playthrough interesting and different from the previous one.
You have various types of weapons and classes at your disposal. You can unlock additional items, classes, and events during gameplay that will make you stronger and better in subsequent playthroughs, as well as further enhance the experience.
Here you can see some screenshots from For The King
You can play the game both in single-player mode and with two other people. Each of you controls one of the three group members. The co-op mode runs online, but also on the couch.
In battle, you perform your actions in turn order within the turn-based system. Strategy is essential and can determine whether you survive or fail. Similar to DnD, dice are regularly rolled when certain actions are executed.
Individual members who fall in battle can be revived using saved lives. If the lives run out and the entire group dies, the game is over.
How do players rate For The King? Players rate the game on Steam very positively. Out of a total of 21,166 ratings, 88% are favorable (as of December 5, 2022, via Steam).
Particularly the co-op mode seems to be enjoyable for players. Especially for those who like DnD, For The King is recommended as a good digital alternative. The gameplay is quite challenging as a roguelike and is already quite difficult on the “normal” difficulty setting.

In Fortnite there is a new feature since Chapter 4 Season 1, namely the Augmentations. We will show you what they bring you, which ones are the best, and why you should use them.
What are Augmentations? Fortnite not only created wacky weapons, a new map and a Battle Pass for Season 1 with Chapter 4, but also implemented a new mechanic. It is called Augmentation and offers you many advantages in a match, the longer you survive in a match.
These advantages are comparable to perks from other games. They provide you with a damage bonus for selected weapons, increased regeneration of your health in bushes, or give you higher chances to acquire items. That is very practical, as it significantly increases your chances of survival.
Here we also embed the trailer for Season 1 Chapter 4, in case you haven’t seen it yet:
Start video
Fortnite: Gameplay trailer for Chapter 4 Season 1
The best Augmentations
How do Augmentations work? To activate the Augmentations, you need to stay in the match for a certain period of time. At some point, the message “Ready” will appear in the lower right corner of your screen.
In the bottom right, the symbol for selecting the Augmentation appearsNow you can either select two Augmentations or swap them outThis is how the selection of the Augmentation works
Now you can choose between two options which Augmentation you would like to activate. If neither of the two Augmentations available to you appeals to you, you can swap your selection for free once. Then two new Augmentations will appear. Each subsequent swap costs 100 Gold Bars.
During your match, you can even set up to four Augmentations that will assist you in battle. When the match is over or if you are eliminated, you lose all Augmentations and have to choose new ones.
Which are the best Augmentations? All Augmentations have their justification for existing, but some stand out more than others. We have looked at all the Augmentations and came to the following conclusion:
Bush Warrior – In dense foliage, your Health and part of your Shield regenerate
Slurp Medic – There is a chance to find Slurp Juices in every opened container
Storm Marking – When the storm rotates, nearby opponents are marked and highlighted
Rifle Recycling – Weapons that use medium ammunition have a chance not to consume ammunition
In which modes are Augmentations available? These Augmentations are available in Build and No Build modes.
How do I unlock new Augmentations? To do this, you just need to play until you have the option to choose Augmentations again. At some point, new options will appear in your selection that you can choose. Then select them to unlock them in your collection.
Why should I use Augmentations? It is up to you whether you take the offer or ignore it. However, the fact is that they provide you with strong advantages in battle that you would never receive otherwise. You just need a bit of luck or enough Gold Bars in your pocket.
Are these all Augmentations? No, so far Epic Games has only revealed 22 Augmentations, but Leakers have already informed us that more Augmentations will follow. A new perk will be called “Midas Touch” and will give you 40 Assault Rifle ammunition as well as Gold per shot when you hit bosses or enemies.
That was all the known information about the Augmentations. What do you think of Epic Games’ new mechanic? Is it worth it and fun or is it not for you and would you rather have the developers remove it from the BR shooter? Feel free to leave us a comment on this!

A gamer bought a GeForce RTX 4090. But the joy is short-lived, as his game cannot be played at the highest settings. Some in the community are familiar with the problems.
When upgrading their gaming system and purchasing a new graphics card, users typically expect to finally play their favorite games with all details and features. After all, many invest a few hundred euros in hardware.
A user had purchased the current fastest graphics card, a GeForce RTX 4090. But then the problems began.
Other gamers can’t even change their pants without the computer causing problems:
Game does not recognize the 2000-euro graphics card
What is the situation? A user explained on reddit that he had bought a new graphics card. He chose the RTX 4090, which is currently the fastest GPU you can buy.
But when he tried to start the game Fallout 4, he encountered a surprise: It only offers him “Low” as the recommended graphics settings. The problem is quickly identified: the game simply does not recognize his graphics card and then selects the lowest settings by itself.
Why is this a problem? If your graphics card is not recognized by the game, it can lead to a whole range of issues:
The performance in the game suffers significantly, and you have to play at a much lower frame rate.
Some features are hidden in the graphics settings, as according to the game, you have no graphics card installed.
In some cases, the game itself limits the frame rate to about 30 FPS.
Other users explain that they have had similar problems with other games. Fallout 4 also cannot be convinced to set the graphics settings higher. A user writes (via reddit.com):
I wasn’t even sure how I could get the game to run higher than 30fps after I had reinstalled it. It automatically set everything to low because it didn’t know what to do for the 4090, so I set everything to the highest quality setting, but the game was locked at 30Hz, so my GPU was pretty much idle, but the game ran horribly.
The issue is well-known among gamers
Is the problem known? Yes, it is not uncommon for graphics cards to not be recognized in games when the hardware is still very new. There can be various reasons for this.
However, in many cases, the problems resolve themselves after a few weeks or months. Either the developers release an update for their games, or the hardware manufacturers provide an update for their software. Someone writes that at the release of GTA4, it was possible to play with a GTX 1080, the fastest card at the time, but there were problems with support.
In other cases, the games are now so old that the problems can no longer be solved with an update.
The RTX 4090 is currently the fastest graphics card on the market, but the new cards are not as successful in retail as they could be. Scalpers are now desperate because they cannot resell the graphics cards at outrageous prices. This leads to a lot of schadenfreude among players:
The player Iron Hyger set a crazy record on December 2nd. He is the first player to max out all skills in Old School RuneScape – but not in normal mode, instead as an Ironman, which brings many restrictions. He needed almost 40,000 play hours for this achievement, or about 14 hours a day.
What exactly did Iron Hyger achieve? He has maxed every skill that exists in the game. These skills include Attack and Defence, as well as Cooking, Mining, or Fishing. The tasks are therefore diverse.
In total, there are 23 disciplines where he had to collect 200 million experience points each. This means that he needed a total of 4.6 billion XP.
This challenge is already very difficult under normal conditions, yet Iron Hyger accomplished it in Ironman mode. This mode means that you are quite on your own and brings several restrictions, including:
No trading with other players
No experience points from PvP
No rewards from certain group activities
No entering houses other than your own
No rewards for killing a mob or another player if even 1 damage point was caused by another player

At the time of the achievement, the second-place player dids had collected 4.15 billion experience points, which is already extremely strong. However, the gap to 3rd place is significantly larger.
He spent 12 hours a day on sometimes exhausting tasks
How impressive is the achievement? In the RuneScape community, there is consensus: The achievement is totally insane. In the comments, some users confirm that Iron Hyger has played for almost 40,000 hours.
The Ironman was introduced only on October 13, 2014, and about 71,280 hours have passed since then until the record. Moreover, the player started only just under a year after the introduction. Basically, this means that Iron Hyger has played around 15 hours a day for 7 years.
On reddit, players emphasize that the tasks were sometimes grindy but also exhausting. He is said to have farmed with incredibly high speed and efficiency. While classic RuneScape players can buy many items for crafting from other players, Iron Hyger had to obtain everything on his own.
Not only other players congratulated him on this achievement, but also the developers themselves (via Imgur). They wrote in an in-game message: “Congratulations, Iron Hyger. You are the first Iron player to achieve 200m in every skill. Now you can finally play the game!”
However, there is also criticism. Some believe that one should not put 15 hours a day into a video game or joke that he now has time to finally play through the real world.

5 old MMORPGs that are still actively played
What lies ahead for the player? After his achievement, Iron Hyger wrote a message in the chat: “What now?” This is a legitimate question, after all, RuneScape has determined his life for many years. However, it is unlikely that he will now quit the MMORPG.
What do you think of this achievement? Is it impressive, or is the criticism justified?
Just in November, we reported on a player in RuneScape who celebrated a significant achievement and then fainted:
Friendly Fire 8 is over and raised over 1 million euros. However, the Twitch streamers Gronkh, PietSmiet, and 9 others could not quite break the record of Friendly Fire 7. MeinMMO explains how much was raised and to whom the funds will go.
What was Friendly Fire 8? Friendly Fire takes place once a year and is a charity stream. Well-known German streamers and YouTubers raise money for a good cause. The stream ran for about 12 hours on December 3, 2022, and at its peak attracted over 86,000 viewers.
This year, the main sponsor was Bethesda with its game Starfield. MeinMMO explains how much money Friendly Fire 8 was able to raise this time.
Stream raises over 1 million euros, but misses the 2021 record
How much money was raised? Friendly Fire 8 raised exactly 1,087,542 euros on December 3, 2022. However, that does not break the record from the previous year. The stream alone collected over 1,283,704 euros through donations for various organizations.
Additionally, another 600,000 euros came from merchandise like T-shirts. The total amount of merchandise sold in 2022 is not yet known. Sales are still ongoing.
What organizations will receive the donations? The donated sum in 2022 goes to various organizations that will benefit from the funds. Here’s the list:
How many people were watching? At peak times, over 86,000 people watched the stream simultaneously on PietSmiet’s main channel (via sullygnome.com). Most of the event had around 80,000 viewers at any given time. It was only after midnight that viewer numbers started to decline continuously.
The charity event was also very successful last year. You can read about how well Friendly Fire 7 was and why such events are important here on MeinMMO:
In a pure roughly 40-minute long video, the developers of Ashes of Creation once again showed what the upcoming MMORPG holds. This includes gameplay of the Cleric class and an impressive day-night cycle. We at MeinMMO summarize.
What kind of video is this? On December 2, the developers of the upcoming MMORPG Ashes of Creation published a new video. It features about 40 minutes of new gameplay and also some information about the game.
The video not only goes into more detail about the Cleric class but also emphasizes the day-night cycle in Ashes of Creation.
How do the times of day work? The developers explain that the times of day in Ashes of Creation change in a specific rhythm. This means that both day and night last for several hours and transition dynamically into each other.
This alters not only graphically impressively how the world around you looks but also which enemies you encounter and where you can run into them. Even the behavior of certain enemies is supposed to change depending on what time of day you encounter them.
However, within specific instances, this dynamic change is not present. The dungeons and areas disconnected from the open world have their own times of day and do not follow the cycle of the normal world.
How dark the night is is still being clarified. They want to rely on player feedback for this. However, there should be a clear visual difference compared to day.
You can watch the entire video here:

Which class is shown there? In the gameplay video, you see the Cleric class. The developers show in detail how the class works, which was not entirely clear before. The character in the video showcases gameplay around level 14, so still not too deep in the game.
The Cleric builds up a resource called Conviction, which increases his damage and improves his abilities in combat. With more Conviction, the Cleric can heal more and his healing ability will bounce off more often, thus hitting more allies.
Additionally, the Cleric focuses on holy damage. This deals more damage to undead, for example. Thus, the MMORPG is supposed to have several damage types that different monsters react to more resistant or allergic.
More information about Ashes of Creation can be found in our video:

Ashes of Creation: The Most Important Things about the MMORPG in 49 Seconds
What other information was there? Otherwise, there were many side pieces of information that were mostly already partly known. The developers state that a character in the endgame is supposed to have access to about 20-30 abilities and that the MMORPG is generally considered somewhat more difficult than easier when it comes to battles.
In combat, there should still be synergies between different buffs and classes that can be combined accordingly to be more efficient and deal more damage. Additionally, measures will be taken to counteract the much-despised “stunlock” in PvP.
Stunlock refers to being hit by so many effects in succession that render you unable to act, resulting in standing around doing nothing and watching yourself die for a longer period. However, the details on how this will work are not disclosed.
What do you think of the video? Are you already looking forward to Ashes of Creation or do you think the MMORPG is being overhyped? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments here on MeinMMO.
We asked you in a survey about the best assault rifle in Call of Duty: Warzone 2. You voted and the result is surprising. We show you your favorite and what makes it so special.
What did the results show? All 9 assault rifles were up for selection. A total of 1,287 users participated in our survey (as of November 30). We now present all the results of the survey and explain why the outcome is so surprising:
Rank 9: M16 – 19 votes
Rank 8: Kastov 545 – 22 votes
Rank 7: Kastov 762 – 97 votes
Rank 6: Lachmann-556 – 104 votes
Rank 5: STB 556 – 117 votes
Rank 4: M13B – 127 votes
Rank 3: Kastov-74U – 143 votes
Rank 2: M4 – 310 votes
Rank 1: TAQ-56 – 348 votes
TAQ-56 surpasses the entry-level assault rifle
Our survey focused on the best assault rifle in Warzone 2. It had to consider which rifle is also effective at long ranges and, above all, accurate. The surprising part, however, is that a rather inferior rifle took the lead.
M4 is compared to the TAQ-56 and wins the race with better stats
The M4 is known not only for being one of the best assault rifles, but you can also equip and improve it right from the start. Additionally, the M4 has better base stats than the TAQ-56, yet you chose not to go with the M4.
Here’s a quick setup for the TAQ-56 so you can get started right away:
CoD Warzone 2: TAQ-56 Setup
Muzzle: Harbinger D20
Barrel: 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel
Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
Magazine: 40 Round Mag
Setup in English
Muzzle: Harbinger D20
Barrel: 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel
Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
Magazine: 40 Round Mag
Players who have played MW3 will know the TAQ-56 like the back of their hand. The rifle closely resembles the SCAR-L and plays just like it. Eleven years ago, the SCAR-L was a very solid choice in multiplayer mode. It could cover very long distances and was extremely stable. Very good conditions that the rifle also brings to Warzone 2.
More about Call of Duty Warzone 2 can be found here:
In addition, the TAQ-56 has a lower rate of fire than the M4, which allows for better recoil control. So if you are looking for a powerful rifle with strong stability and devastating damage, the new SCAR-L is a great choice.
These were the best assault rifles you chose. What do you think of the TAQ-56? Do you also think it’s the better rifle? Feel free to leave us a comment!

The servers are still unreachable.
There is also an issue on Android devices that prevents Update 23.00 from being installed. The team is already working on a solution.
Fortnite is now working with Unreal Engine 5.1. This means that next-gen features such as Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, and Temporal Super Resolution are now available. But only in Battle Royale on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and cloud gaming. But what does that mean?
Nanite is a high-resolution architectural geometry. Landscapes and materials such as stones are rendered in great detail.
Lumen affects the lighting. Light on objects and surfaces now appears differently.
Virtual Shadow Maps for very detailed shadows
Temporal Super Resolution as an upgrade for anti-aliasing
Below you will find example images for the new graphics of Chapter 4:

That’s it, the live event is apparently over. What players can see now in the game is a view of the distant new map. With a clearly visible snowy area and apparently different regions.
10:45 PM
A new trailer is running. This is the video that was also leaked by data miners hours before the event. Apparently, a teaser of the new map. Wait. Did Hulk just fly across the screen on a mini bike?
Okay, back to the topic, a waiting screen is now active.
Update: Of course, you won’t have to miss out on Biker Hulk. Here you go!
10:43 PM
Players are complaining about login problems in Fortnite. Anyone who got kicked out of the event or wanted to join too late cannot log in now. We have checked this and can confirm that the login issues are occurring on the PS5.
Initially, you enter a waiting line and are then notified of server issues.
10:38 PM
New parts are being added to the map again. There are still a few gaps, but everything is slowly coming together into an exciting structure with different zones. Now we see giant mushrooms. There were already roads and sand before.
The intervals between adding new parts of the map are feeling shorter and shorter. It shouldn’t be long before it is complete. And this should be the new map of Chapter 4 in Fortnite.
10:33 PM
Some players are now being kicked out of the game and must restart the game. For others, the map is being assembled a bit further. First roads and modern houses are now part of the map on which players can move. More flashbacks are available with a look at old zombie sieges.
10:30 PM
Again, the zero point is active and attracting more parts from outside. The environment of weightlessness is now becoming brighter. Our good friend Peely, the banana, is also present for a visit at the live event.
10:25 PM
The zero point is fishing more items from weightlessness. Piece by piece, the map continues to come together. Now you can also see individual parts with sand.
10:20 PM
Tasks in the event include finding flamingos and throwing snowballs. Apparently, an important part of building a new map in Fortnite.
You can interact with a flashback object and see snippets from past seasons. A big wave of nostalgia for the veterans.
10:13 PM
Individual elements are being attracted from afar by the zero point. Players are also flying towards them. Now you land on one of the many individual pieces of the island and can jump from piece to piece. Weightless parts are floating around, rocks are rolling. There is a calm and curious chaos among the present players.
Your task now is to stabilize the zero point. There are various tasks that need to be solved.
Individual fragments are now being gathered together. It looks like the players are now putting together the “new” map for Chapter 4 themselves.
10:11 PM
A bright light streams from the television in the waiting lobby. A trailer starts and shows tornadoes racing across the map. They spread a chrome trail. Rockets are briefly used to fend off the tornadoes and their leader, but the leader returns and turns the defenders into chrome.
Then the map seems to burst completely, leaving only the zero point:
10:09 PM
The servers appear to be stable, the event is starting!
10:00 PM
No mini-games visible in the lobbies. What a shame. The last 10 minutes before the event are running!
9:53 PM
Apparently, there should be mini-games for you in the lobby when there are 10 minutes left on the countdown, so around 10:00 PM, according to the rumors in the community. Basketball? We’ll see!
9:50 PM
The last 20 minutes of waiting time have begun on the television in the event lobby. The end of the new chapter is just around the corner. In the comments on Twitter, players are already discussing what the new map must offer to impress them. One point on which they all agree: A cool snowy area is necessary. Because it fits well with the season.
9:33 PM
The mode for the live event is now active. You can now join there, so you are in time for the start at 10:00 PM. The lobbies in this mode have a team size of 4.
The mode is called: Split: Finale of Chapter 3
This is what it looks like in the lobby of the Splitter mode. A countdown is running on the television, counting down to 10:10 PM
9:23 PM
In a few minutes, the mode for the live event should be activated. From 9:30 PM you should be able to join there. At least that’s what the official blog post from Fortnite says. Then you can gather there and at 10:00 PM it will start. If everything goes as planned.
9:04 PM
An official tweet from Fortnite went live at 9:00 PM. It states: “We have no certainty about how long it will take, but the island needs to be rebuilt and we will need help with that. ‘Split’ starts now!”

Players are eagerly waiting for the end of Chapter 3. This can also be seen on YouTube and Twitch. On the live streaming platform Twitch.TV, Fortnite is currently the second most popular category with over 220,000 simultaneous viewers. On YouTube, there are over 275,000 viewers at this time.
The numbers are likely to shoot up even more in the coming minutes as we get closer to the event start at 10:00 PM.
8:30 PM
Long before the start of the live event, there are already leaks about the event. Data miner Shiina has uploaded a video on his YouTube channel that is supposed to be the trailer for Chapter 4.
The leaked gameplay video
In the trailer, you can see Geralt of Rivia, whom you know from the Witcher series. The video shows how the map is divided into individual parts and is in weightlessness. Then the zero point draws individual pieces closer and assembles the new map. This is apparently the map you will play on in Chapter 4.

The leaks will be hidden in spoiler boxes for you.
When does it start? The live event starts at 10:00 PM German time. It is supposed to be active for about 40 minutes. How long the servers will be unavailable afterwards is currently unknown. We will keep an eye on the game for you and report on the latest events.
What you need to know: We have summarized all the information for you on how the evening will go, what you can expect from the live event, and what background information you need.
A new Battle Pass has been released with Season 1 – Chapter 4 in Fortnite . Here you will find all the skins, emotes, harvesting tools, and other content that you can get in the new Battle Pass.
This is happening right now in Chapter 4: The live event of Chapter 3 Season 4 blew up the map, along with all its inhabitants. The Zero Point didn’t take this lightly and formed a new one from old map pieces. Now Fortnite is back with a new season, cool mechanics, and especially a new Battle Pass.
Structure of the Battle Pass: As usual, the Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks. The pass for the new Season 1 of Chapter 4 will have the same star system as in Chapter 3 before. So you have the opportunity to unlock your rewards with stars.
Can I get the last skin of the Battle Pass right away? No, Fortnite ensures that you must first reach a specified level before you can unlock a collection of rewards.
If you want to buy a loading screen on page 3, you must first reach level 11.
If you like the skin on page 5, you must first reach level 26.
If the pickaxe on page 6 is exactly what you need, Fortnite wants you to reach level 29 first.
This continues until page 14. The old system from Chapter 3 has been retired. You no longer need to unlock a number of pages before you can obtain your desired item.
You can watch the gameplay trailer we have embedded for you here:

In addition to the Battle Pass pages, there will also be bonus rewards that you can unlock at higher levels. The Battle Pass thus offers a lot of new content to earn.
So, what do you think of the new pass from Chapter 4 Season 1? Do you find the skins and styles original, or is there nothing for you in this season? Let us know!
In Pokémon GO, you can accomplish a lot of objectives “on the side”, even if you’re not paying attention. That’s how it was for MeinMMO author Max Handwerk – until everything suddenly came together last weekend.
I’ve been playing Pokémon GO for 4 years and almost exactly 10 months. In early February 2018, in freezing cold and slush outside the door, my girlfriend and I thought it was a great idea to start the “get-out-and-catch-monster” game.
And even though the weather conditions in the village back then could easily have led to an immediate stop, I’ve stayed in the game until today.
Over time, more and more features were added, like the Battle League, Team Rocket, and more. All cool, but my favorite part of the game has always been collecting new monsters – which can sometimes be frustrating, when you keep seeing the same ones and new Pokémon are only released in small batches.
In addition, I always kept an eye on the level. I had once set the old max level 40 as a big goal. However, the seemingly ridiculous amount of XP required for that meant that I did it more “on the side”. I only vaguely had in mind that it should be about time for the 40 to drop.
And that’s exactly what happened last weekend.
With the arrival of the Ultra Beasts, everything came together
On November 27, the “Ultra Beasts Arrival” event started and I actually had no time that day to participate. However, it was the perfect event for the collector in me. Because I still needed a few of the Ultra Beasts, and even the regional Kaguron could be obtained through research tasks.
So we dragged ourselves out an hour before it ended to do some raids. The necessary raid passes were available, and you could easily defeat the Ultra Beasts in pairs. Moreover, there was an XP bonus on the raids, so I thought: Perfect, then I can crawl further towards 40. I checked my XP status and realized that the 7 raids should be enough to reach level 40.
Suddenly, motivation was awakened.
Now the steps were quicker, and we rushed from gym to gym to catch the Ultra Beasts. Within an hour, we completed all 7 necessary raids to finish the research tasks. This, in turn, meant that not only was the Ultra Beasts Dex filling up – no, everything else I wanted to accomplish in Pokémon GO also seemed to take care of itself.
We collected all the currently available Ultra Beasts. That was the most important thing.
On the side, I collected the necessary raids to meet the requirements for the Galar-Makabaja evolution – I also developed a Galar-Oghnatoll, which I’ve been chasing since Halloween.
The XP from the raids was enough to actually reach level 40.
And because the raids yielded a few special candies, I was also able to feed the last missing candies to eF-eM and evolve it. I had also been carrying it as a buddy for ages to collect candies.
Aside from the Ultra Beasts, the goals seemed to take care of themselves.
It was kind of a crazy hour, which I might have last experienced at the GO Fest 2021, when there was the Raid Day with all legendary Pokémon. For the collector in me, it was almost like Christmas. The Ultra Beasts Arrival turned out to be the perfect event for me – and I almost skipped it altogether.
At the same time, a big question mark remains for me. It feels a bit like the aquarium fish from “Finding Nemo”. They want to escape from an aquarium throughout the movie, eventually succeed, and end up hanging in plastic bags at the ocean’s surface – wondering: “Now what?”.
Yes, what now? Now it seems to be waiting. For the next Ultra Beasts, the next big research, exciting developments, or other new content. Let’s see what the game still has in store. At least there are levels 41 to 50 with special tasks and even more XP collecting.
The collector in me wishes for a slightly larger wave of new Pokémon – but hope is rather limited there.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The wait is over and the latest WoW expansion Dragonflight is finally here. The first fan has already reached the maximum level 70 after only around 2.5 hours. But that’s not all that has happened this week. More on that in the MMORPG weekly review.
Black Desert is changing some monsters in its PC version and starting the Christmas season (via massivelyop).

3. The perpetual complainer
“The same crap as every time, Blizzard just doesn’t learn from their mistakes and WoW just keeps getting worse.”
Everyone knows these people because they need to share their displeasure with the whole world. Whether it’s the new quests, the new areas, or the new features, everything is bad.
The dragon riding? It’s just flying with annoying restrictions.
The quests? They are the same monotonous mush as always.
The stories? You’ve seen them a thousand times; other MMORPGs do it much better.
There is absolutely nothing that brings these players genuine joy – except the “realization” that World of Warcraft is still just as bad as it has been for the last many years.
Everything is annoying and dull – who doesn’t know them?
These complainers were once enthusiastic players who genuinely liked World of Warcraft. It’s not the same feeling anymore, and somehow they can never quite figure out: Have I changed so much? Has the game changed so much?
Nonetheless, these players rarely manage to finally take a break. They stay in World of Warcraft and let everyone share in their displeasure. Because if they didn’t do that, there would be so many more hours in the day that they have to fill somehow.
4. The overhyped players
“OMG, did you do the quest with the dwarf? Did you see the dragon daycare? It’s so good!!!”
Where there are complainers, there is also the opposite extreme, which we’ll collectively refer to as “overhyped players”. They have been looking forward to the expansion for weeks and months and have oriented their entire lives towards fully immersing themselves in it and spending every minute of their free time – at least for a while – in it. Where the complainer sees only bad, the overhyped players can only see the good.
Every quest is absolutely grand and the best Blizzard has ever made.
Every area is beautiful and you want to look around for hours.
Every placement of flowers is practically godlike perfection.
Legitimate criticisms, such as bugs or balance issues, are simply swept under the rug and disappear under the wave of positive energy. Nothing can dampen the mood of these players.
Sometimes, so much positive energy can be annoying, but you can’t help but believe that these people are simply having the most fun in World of Warcraft.
Rumor has it that Cortyn is also one of these people.

“After 2 hours and 15 minutes, I should be in the second area, but first, I need to complete the TomTom route to the dragon glyphs in 16.3 minutes …”
A new expansion means that there are many new contents. But new content also means one thing: unfinished tasks. Everything is a list that needs to be ticked off, and efficiency is the most important thing ever.
Even before the expansion starts, everything is planned down to the smallest detail:
Which route is the fastest to the new maximum level?
Where are all the rare spawns and chests?
Which talents offer the greatest advantage when leveling?
Which features must be played immediately to gain an advantage?
Are there enough potions and flasks packed for leveling, and is the hearthstone properly placed?
The start of the expansion marks the beginning of fulfilling a large “to-do” list that is meticulously and efficiently completed. While others are still enjoying the scenery, the planner is already two areas ahead and has consumed all the content in a sprint.
Every step meticulously planned.
To others, it may seem like they can’t enjoy the content, but that’s not true. They derive satisfaction from having their quest log empty and their achievement list full. Once everything that needs to be done is completed, the planner is satisfied, even if it looks like it could hardly be fun from the outside.
Have you observed these player types at the beginning of Dragonflight as well? Or what kind of clichés do you encounter?

Have you observed these player types at the beginning of Dragonflight as well? Or what kind of clichés do you encounter?
In World of Warcraft, you encounter many players. Especially at the launch of an expansion, you meet certain clichés that you just have to love.
World of Warcraft has now reached its 9th expansion. But as with every add-on launch, all sorts of people appear who fulfill common clichés and evoke eye rolls or chuckles. We present 5 player types that you can encounter at every corner right now at the launch of Dragonflight.
1. The disorganized friend list roster
“Who the hell is Kouhai? Did I ever play with them? Why did I add them to my friend list and why are they in the Maw?”
Let’s be honest. Not every player on your friend list is truly a friend you know well. Over the years, you may have lost touch or added someone back in the day because you found them likable.
At the launch of a new expansion, it’s worth checking your friend list because you can find people you haven’t been in contact with for many years.
Disorganized players who are just now getting the “Heart of Azeroth”.
It’s worth reaching out to these people and initiating a conversation.
Often, these are players who have skipped not just one but multiple expansions and are now wandering through the world a bit disoriented. You might see some starting Dragonflight, asking when it will finally be about dragons.
This is an opportunity to help and integrate some old acquaintances into your friend circle or guild.
2. The quest text ignorer
“The quest is bugged. Has anyone else had a problem where it just doesn’t continue?”
Quests are part of the daily responsibilities of every adventurer in World of Warcraft. But completing quests means dealing with quest givers and, in some extreme cases – May Elune preserve us! – having to read quest texts to understand a mission.
In 99% of all quests, this isn’t very important. You simply click ‘Accept’ and then check the world map to see where it glows blue. Then you just kill everything or click on whatever sparkles. That works.
However, in about 1% of the quests, that isn’t the case, as something specific is required from the character. You may need to listen to a dialogue, use items in a specific order, or perform some other action that isn’t immediately obvious.
There is a way to solve these quests – you could simply read the quest text, which usually describes in great detail what needs to be done.
However, these players find it much easier to just ask in the general channel: “Is the quest bugged? It doesn’t work for me.”
Usually, there is also another player who takes over the work and writes the solution to the riddle in the channel – often because they have looked it up on the internet themselves.

The quests? They are the same monotonous mush as always.
The stories? You’ve seen them a thousand times; other MMORPGs do it much better.
There is absolutely nothing that brings these players genuine joy – except the “realization” that World of Warcraft is still just as bad as it has been for the last many years.
Everything is annoying and dull – who doesn’t know them?
These complainers were once enthusiastic players who genuinely liked World of Warcraft. It’s not the same feeling anymore, and somehow they can never quite figure out: Have I changed so much? Has the game changed so much?
Nonetheless, these players rarely manage to finally take a break. They stay in World of Warcraft and let everyone share in their displeasure. Because if they didn’t do that, there would be so many more hours in the day that they have to fill somehow.
4. The overhyped players
“OMG, did you do the quest with the dwarf? Did you see the dragon daycare? It’s so good!!!”
Where there are complainers, there is also the opposite extreme, which we’ll collectively refer to as “overhyped players”. They have been looking forward to the expansion for weeks and months and have oriented their entire lives towards fully immersing themselves in it and spending every minute of their free time – at least for a while – in it. Where the complainer sees only bad, the overhyped players can only see the good.
Every quest is absolutely grand and the best Blizzard has ever made.
Every area is beautiful and you want to look around for hours.
Every placement of flowers is practically godlike perfection.
Legitimate criticisms, such as bugs or balance issues, are simply swept under the rug and disappear under the wave of positive energy. Nothing can dampen the mood of these players.
Sometimes, so much positive energy can be annoying, but you can’t help but believe that these people are simply having the most fun in World of Warcraft.
Rumor has it that Cortyn is also one of these people.
More about World of Warcraft can be found here on MeinMMO:
“After 2 hours and 15 minutes, I should be in the second area, but first, I need to complete the TomTom route to the dragon glyphs in 16.3 minutes …”
A new expansion means that there are many new contents. But new content also means one thing: unfinished tasks. Everything is a list that needs to be ticked off, and efficiency is the most important thing ever.
Even before the expansion starts, everything is planned down to the smallest detail:
Which route is the fastest to the new maximum level?
Where are all the rare spawns and chests?
Which talents offer the greatest advantage when leveling?
Which features must be played immediately to gain an advantage?
Are there enough potions and flasks packed for leveling, and is the hearthstone properly placed?
The start of the expansion marks the beginning of fulfilling a large “to-do” list that is meticulously and efficiently completed. While others are still enjoying the scenery, the planner is already two areas ahead and has consumed all the content in a sprint.
Every step meticulously planned.
To others, it may seem like they can’t enjoy the content, but that’s not true. They derive satisfaction from having their quest log empty and their achievement list full. Once everything that needs to be done is completed, the planner is satisfied, even if it looks like it could hardly be fun from the outside.
Have you observed these player types at the beginning of Dragonflight as well? Or what kind of clichés do you encounter?
Are you a true multi-gamer? Test your knowledge of the 3 big publishers in our quiz.
When the gaming industry was still young, many companies tried to get a foothold in the rapidly growing entertainment sector and launch their own consoles. Most of them failed spectacularly and out of the many manufacturers, only 3 managed to establish themselves: Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft.

All have written gaming history multiple times and have significantly shaped the colorful landscape of video games. Therefore, we want to know: How well do you really know the 3 big publishers? Find out in our quiz.
How does the quiz work? In the quiz tool below, we have compiled 10 questions about the three major console manufacturers for you. Some of them you will find easy, others are trickier and require good trivia knowledge about the hardware and software of the “Big 3”.
In the end, you will get a score that indicates how many questions you answered correctly. In between, there are small trivia bites related to the respective questions, offering interesting information about Sony, MS, and Nintendo.

On the night of November 28th to 29th, WoW Dragonflight launched with some difficulties. MeinMMO accompanies you with the ticker through the release and keeps you updated with the most important current news.
Some players are having trouble completing the recurring events on the Dragon Isles – especially the siege of the Dragonflight Fortress often leads to confusion. Tip: The events start every hour on the hour and you will find a timer on your map. Log out and back in if you don’t see the timer. We’ve explained more about this in our guide for you:
Blizzard is currently providing hotfixes to address the most urgent bugs. However, the servers are running without major issues for most players. We will take a closer look at the situation from Friday evening and continue to accompany you further in the ticker from there.
Since November 30th, you can prepare for Season 1 of Dragonflight with mythic dungeons and weekly events. We have a guide for you with all the details:
The dragon riding continues to excite many players as possibly the best feature of the expansion so far. MeinMMO demon Cortyn believes that “normal” flying can actually be abolished:
The maintenance has been completed, and there have apparently been no major issues. Remember that from today you can complete mythic dungeons and grab weekly rewards.
By the way, we have also evaluated the survey on the classes you play:
The first release night of Dragonflight is proceeding without major issues. Currently, there are hardly any reports of problems with servers or connections, more with bugs and quests – but at least people are getting to play.
Remember the maintenance during the night!
7:30 PM
Tonight, from 3:00 AM to 4:00 AM German time, the WoW servers will be taken down for scheduled maintenance. Keep this in mind if you were planning a gaming night!
It’s slowly getting towards the end of the workday and so far there appear to be no major issues with the servers and the connection. At least, we currently find no complaints about lags and disconnects.
However, many players are exchanging ideas about the new features. Above all, dragon riding seems to be well-received. What is your favorite feature so far and how do you like Dragonflight in general?
5:50 PM
There are problems with certain quests. Blizzard informs on Twitter that you should abandon quests with the addition: “Craftsman supply” if you can’t hand in other quests.
There is apparently also a problem with the quest “The Stream of Time” if you use a non-English client. A workaround here is to change the language for this quest to English (via Twitter). You can find the solution for the problems in detail here:
Currently, there are no major complaints about login or server issues. Players are exchanging thoughts on social media and posting memes about the rough start and the first hours of the new expansion.
In the meantime, we have worked on the first assessment for a tier list of all classes:
Blizzard reports that the most severe connection issues should now be resolved (via Twitter). However, some players are currently having issues with the quest “Quickfire Plans” because it is not displayed on the map. You can find a solution in this YouTube video.
MeinMMO was live at the release. Despite the huge chaos with ships, lags, and disconnects, our video editor Anna Alberg explored the Dragon Isles with her guild and had fun doing it:
Some players are just now starting into the expansion and there is a lot going on in the first area of the Dragon Isles. However, there are also complaints from individual players who are experiencing lags or getting disconnects.
You can keep playing. All realms are live again, and the problems should be resolved … for now.
7:00 AM
The WoW realms are down!
Good morning! Did you game well? Blizzard is giving you a little forced break, because from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM all realms are offline for maintenance. It is likely that the errors leading to ships not sailing to the Dragon Isles will be resolved. We will keep you updated.
1:35 AM
Another tip from us: If you can’t log in on your main, try with a second character, ideally on another realm. We have observed that in most cases we were able to access previously unreachable characters afterwards.
However, the problems are slowly subsiding in many areas. The developers have not yet issued a statement.
We from MeinMMO say goodbye for today into the night. Tomorrow morning we will provide you with new information.
1:14 AM
There seems to be a partial solution. Part of the problem seems to be related to the War Mode. If you have activated this, the portal to the Dragon Isles does not work. In our tests, it worked 100% of the time without War Mode to access the islands.
1:08 AM
We were able to log in again and even the portal to the Dragon Isles worked. It seems to be slowly improving.
The developers are still working on the problem.
12:53 AM
There is now an official tweet from the developers. It says: “We are investigating a problem with our authentication servers. Slow or failed login attempts may be possible.”
12:49 AM
There is a Bluepost in the US forum regarding the issues. Customer Support Orlyia states that the developers are monitoring the login issues. However, we have not discovered a solution anywhere yet.
12:37 AM
There are reports that the world server is unreachable. We are currently still searching for a reliable solution to the problem that is preventing you from reaching the Dragon Isles. So far, it does not seem that there is a solution at the moment.
Some players have already reached the Dragon Isles, but report lags and long load times when looting and handing in quests. Many are simply farming resources because of this.
The Twitch streamer Naowh is already almost level 63. He is simply farming old content and currently grinding through Torghast with his druid.
12:25 AM
On social media, players from all over the world are sharing their connection issues. People are flying from their servers, can no longer log in, get stuck in loading bars, or are teleported back to their starting point. Even those who make it to the Dragon Isles are facing massive lags while playing. There is still no response from Blizzard.
12:15 AM
The plan of many Alliance players is currently to simply run to Orgrimmar and fly from there with the zeppelins. However, Blizzard has now activated portals that allow you to skip the ship/zeppelin ride. Apparently, there are issues with the transport methods.
However, numerous players are also flying out of the game and getting stuck when logging in. This has happened to us in the editorial office, for instance. We wish you good luck!
12:10 AM
While the zeppelins of the Horde have apparently already departed on many servers, Alliance players are still waiting in vain for their ships at the harbor of Stormwind. But even with the Horde there seem to be problems: Those who make it to the Dragon Isles are teleported back.
Have you already arrived on the Dragon Isles?
12:00 AM
Dragonflight is starting, and almost without problems! Unfortunately, the ships seem to be delayed… Punctually at 0:00, players must first wait a few minutes before the ships and zeppelins arrive at the Dragon Isles.
Don’t board the wrong ship to the wrong continent!
Just a little tip: if you take a break while leveling up, log through all your characters so that they can start gathering rest – just in case.
The pre-event of Dragonflight has already ended before release. The developers have confirmed, however, that you can still obtain the jewel after there were problems finding and looting certain bosses:
The last hour is dawning. So far, there is no information about problems with logins or queues. Nevertheless, you should log in if you want to start promptly – just in case.
If you’re still looking for entertainment, many streamers are also waiting for the release on Twitch. Shlorox for example, currently has a release LAN party underway with a fashion show in the game, while WoW expert Doctorio is preparing you with helpful tips for the launch of the new expansion.
10:25 PM
The last 2 hours of Shadowlands have begun. The expansion will soon be over, and on social media, people are saying goodbye, especially from Oribos – one of the probably least popular capitals in WoW history:

What are your best and worst memories of Shadowlands?
9:15 PM
We are visiting Tazavesh one last time (for now)! What are you doing before the release?
8:15 PM
Many players are already gathering at the docks and piers in their capitals to await the ships and zeppelins to the new world. The images remind us of the early moments during the onslaught to WotLK Classic before it completely escalated:
People are also pulling out their Chuck Norris jokes again: “When Alexander Bell invented the telephone, he had 3 missed calls from Chuck Norris.” Write your best versions in the comments!
7:12 PM
Depending on the realm, players are preparing quite differently for Dragonflight. On RP realms, there are even real recruitment events to explore the Dragon Isles and attract adventures, like in this example:

Less than 6 hours until the release of Dragonflight! A little tip: If you have a “24-hour disconnect” on your router, make sure it doesn’t fall around midnight – otherwise, there could be unpleasant waiting times when you want to log back onto the servers later.
Wow, the rush is already starting! Already when logging into Battle.net there are queues, and when you try to get onto the servers, you will also be greeted with a small wait:
If you have time, log in now and pass the time alongside. The logout timer in WoW is 30 minutes before you are sent back to the character screen. You will be separated from the game after 30 more minutes of inactivity.
3:35 PM
The last hours of Shadowlands have begun. With that, one of the least liked expansions of WoW disappears. Many players are saying goodbye and making it clear that they probably won’t miss the Shadowlands:

Good morning on the most important day of the year for every WoW fan!
Tonight, Dragonflight will be released, and we are live-ticker reporting. Here, you will read everything about current issues with servers and connections, news from the developers, and more about what is happening at the launch.
We will also accompany the launch throughout the day with news, specials, and guides. If there’s something new to read for you, you will find a short note in the ticker above.
When does Dragonflight start? The release of Dragonflight is at 0:00 German time, although it has often happened in the past that releases have come a few minutes or even hours earlier. When it starts, you will learn it immediately here.
In 2020, the streamer DrDisrespect was banned from Twitch and continued on YouTube. But he is unhappy there, as YouTube does not offer him a contract. Now he is the biggest streamer on the platform.
Who is this about?
The former CoD developer Guy Beahm has been performing as the macho persona “DrDisrespect” since 2010.
What is DrDisrespect doing currently? DrDisrespect is now active on YouTube, continues to stream games there, and is excited about the new CoD game. He is not particularly satisfied with his current platform, but he has now become the biggest streamer on YouTube.
DrDisrespect is the biggest streamer on YouTube – only two gaming channels are ahead of him
What do the numbers look like? DrDisrespect had 3.36 million viewers in November 2022. This makes him the biggest individual streamer currently active on YouTube (via streamcharts.com).
According to statistics, only two gaming channels have viewer numbers ahead of him
The official English-speaking Overwatch League channel became the most viewed gaming channel on YouTube Live in November, with over 8.6 million viewers.
The Vietnamese channel Liên Quân Mobile eSports – Garena is in second place in the rankings. In one month, it has had over 3.5 million viewers.
Both channels were able to benefit primarily from major events. In the Overwatch League, they competed for the “Overwatch League 2022 Grand Final,” while on the other side, the “Arena of Valor Premier League 2022” tournament was streamed.
DrDisrespect is unhappy, still receives no contract from YouTube
What bothers the streamer? YouTube has been pursuing an aggressive poaching strategy for several months: They are spending a lot of money to poach well-known faces from Twitch and sign them to their platform. In the past, they were able to poach some big streamers like Ludwig, Valkyrae, and TimTheTatman.
DrDisrespect feels betrayed by YouTube Gaming because Twitch streamers are making a lot of money on YouTube – but he is not receiving any of it. Especially when the streamers YouTube buys tend to be “playing under his league”.
This situation has not changed in recent months either. While YouTube Gaming continues to spend a lot of money on Twitch streamers, DrDisrespect still has not been offered a contract by YouTube.
And DrDisrespect says: He gives YouTube so much, yet they give him nothing in return. He feels used.
We show you the new map of Chapter 4 in Season 1 in Fortnite. You can expect POIs like The Citadel, Brutal Bastion, and Frenzy Fields.
What’s new? At the start of Chapter 4, there was a live event where players helped build a new map. They grabbed a few familiar and a few new contents and combined everything into a new map.
In this overview, we show you the new map as a whole and some glimpses of the new POIs.
New Island of Chapter 4
This is what the map looks like: In the large overview, you can clearly see the distribution of the POIs.
This is the map of Chapter 4
High in the north, you will find Lonely Labs and Brutal Bastion in the snowy and icy area.
In the northwest, the map looks more autumnal. Here you will find Breakwater Bay and The Citadel.
Additionally, you will find the places Shattered Slabs and Anvil Square in the autumn area (pretty much in the middle of the map).
In the greener spring area of the map, which stretches from east to south, you will find the locations Slappy Shores, Faulty Splits, and Frenzy Fields.
The new POIs: The developers of Fortnite briefly introduced new landmarks (POIs) with images and small texts.
You will find this venue surrounded by trees about in the middle of the map. A small town has been built here.
Brutal Bastion:
Brutal Bastion
Fortnite describes the location as “headquarters of the Reality Warriors.” You will find it in the snowy mountains in the north of the map. Hit the snow there with a pickaxe to form snowballs. If you want, you can then jump in and roll over opponents with them.
WoW Dragonflight delivers a ton of new mounts again. One of them is a flying fox with bat wings. You can get it quite easily, although the mount is a bit hidden.
What kind of mount is this? The Temperamental Skyclaw looks a bit like a fox or a large Vulpera, equipped with a saddle and able to fly. Its fur is orange with white patterns, a bushy tail, and pointy ears, just like a fox.
How do I get the Skyclaw? Basically, you just need to deliver a few items. You can get the Skyclaw from Stablemaster Zon’Wogi at the Tri-Falle lookout in the northwest of the Azure Mountains. When you talk to him, he will tell you what he wants:
20x Frostbitten Meat
20x Gnolan’s House Specialty
20x Tuskarr Dorr Meat
You can easily get all the items at the auction house, even before you head to the mountains to “buy” the mount directly. None of it is soulbound. If you want to save money, just farm the items in the regions.
Here are the locations for the items and the stablemaster. The addon “HandyNotes” shows you conveniently linked routes (white lines).
All items are dropped by Gnolls and you can find them according to wowhead in the following areas of the Azure Mountains:
Camp in Nowhere
Azure Archives at the camp by the lake (Twilight Gnolls)
It is not quite clear if you need prerequisites to be able to loot the items yourself. Some players report that they get everything easily. Others say that they had to complete the quests “True Survivors” or “Hit the Gnoll” first.
New mount that does not work in Dragonflight
The Skyclaw serves as a regular flying mount and cannot be used for dragon riding on the Dragon Isles. You can only ride it on the ground there; to fly, you’ll have to go to the areas of the old world.
4 Minutes of Gameplay for Dragon Riding, the new feature in WoW Dragonflight
In the community, it has almost unanimously been decided that dragon riding is already the best feature of Dragonflight, even though many players are struggling with it. Nevertheless, the system seems to be exciting.
MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus also enjoys dragon riding but finds Dragonflight largely successful. After the somewhat dry years in the past expansions, Dragonflight finally has potential:
The patch notes for update V23 in Fortnite at a glance. We show you all the changes from Chapter 4 Season 1 that you can now expect.
What happened today in Fortnite? In Fortnite, the live event marking the end of Chapter 3 concluded with the shattering of the Chapter 4 map and the assembly of the new Chapter 4 map. The servers are still inactive, however, Epic Games has already published its patch notes. We show you everything important in a summary.

Flying Loot Drop Spots are back
The flying drone full of loot
What are those chests? In Fortnite, starting from Season 1 Chapter 4, some locations on the map are randomly designated as “hot spots.” You can recognize them by the golden text on the map. In such hot spots, drones with rare loot hover in the air. You need to shoot them down and collect the loot. Veterans from Chapter 1 will remember these drones.
New mechanic: Capture Points
Capture Points have these banners
How does the mechanic work? On the new map in Chapter 4, there will be certain points known as capture points. These can be taken by teams to detect intruders and mark nearby boxes.
If a team takes such a banner, it will also be rewarded with loot. Note that other teams can outpace you and offer resistance.
Unreal Engine 5.1 – Everything more alive
Unreal Engine 5.1 makes everything look more realistic
With Chapter 4, Epic Games has transitioned to Unreal Engine 5.1. Players will experience more vibrant and realistic environments in matches.
What do you think of the changes Epic Games has prepared? Are you excited about the new weapons? Feel free to leave us a comment!
