Genshin Impact: Attention! Certain quests prevent your progress in the story

Some quests in Genshin Impact prevent players from progressing in the main story. Their characters are too “busy” and cannot participate in the events until the quests are completed.

These are the quests: Genshin Impact offers its fans numerous side quests that they can complete in addition to the main story quest. This also includes character quests.

They provide a deeper insight into the background stories of playable characters, and in most of them, you can play the respective characters even if you do not yet own them. To unlock them, you need special keys starting from Adventure Rank 32, which can be earned through daily quests.

You can own a maximum of 8 keys. This leads some players to unlock the character quests so that their additional keys do not expire. However, they do not complete them immediately, and this turned out to be a problem with the latest update.

“Nilou is busy”

This is the problem: The characters in Genshin Impact follow the game’s internal logic that they cannot be in multiple places at the same time. This means that if a character is already involved in a quest, it must be completed before they can jump into the next quest.

So if you have accepted Nilou’s story quest and have not completed it yet, then you will not get far in the new main quests. These quests require the presence of certain characters for their progress, but if they are already stuck in a character quest, an error message appears, and they are shown as “busy”.

“Sorry, no time right now!”

Diverse players were caught off guard on Reddit and social media when they wanted to dive into the new main quests after the last update on November 2. The characters that have been reported as too busy so far include:

  • Collei
  • Nilou
  • Tighnari
  • Cyno

If you wanted to leisurely play through the new story section over the weekend, be sure to check your quest list to see if there are any surprises waiting for you.

How do I avoid this? The simplest solution to the problem is, of course, to not accept character quests before the main story is completed. However, if you have already accepted such a quest, you have no choice but to finish it first. After that, you can continue playing the main story.

However, there seems to be another option for patient fans who have enough keys. Some posts on Twitter report that certain dialogues in the main story change if you complete the character quests beforehand.

It might be worth finishing all corresponding side quests beforehand to get the most out of the main story. However, this information has not yet been confirmed.

Have you also been caught or do you always complete your side quests immediately? Let us know in the comments.

Pokémon GO: Today the Community Day Classic with Dratini starts – Here’s how to make the most of the event

On November 5th, the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini will take place in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO will show you what bonuses to expect on this day and how to make the most of the event.

What event is it about? In addition to the monthly Community Days that take place in Pokémon GO, Niantic occasionally holds a so-called Community Day Classic. Just like the regular C-Day, a specific Pokémon is highlighted, which is then available almost everywhere during the event.

Unlike the “original”, during the Community Day Classic, you will encounter Pokémon that have had a C-Day in the past and are now entering the second event round. That’s why on Saturday, you can expect the dragon Pokémon Dratini.

We have summarized all the content about the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini for you below.

Community Day Classic in November 2022 – Start & Bonuses

What? Community Day Classic featuring Dratini
When? Saturday, November 5, 2022, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time
Pokémon of the Day: Dratini is more likely to be found in the wild
Exclusive Attack: Draco Meteor, if you evolve Dragonair into Dragonite up to 2 hours after the event
Bonuses:
– triple Stardust when catching
– incense and lures last 3 hours
– surprises in snapshots
Update: After the C-Day, you can expect golden stops and a new Pokémon

Just like the regular Community Day, the C-Day Classic also lasts for 3 full event hours. However, you can secure the event attack only until 7:00 PM local time.

What content is available in the shop? You can also find content for the event in the in-game shop:

Will there be group bonuses and 4-player raids? No, there will be no group bonuses or special event raids for the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini, unlike the regular Community Days.

How to make the most of the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini

How to prepare: If you want to play all day and catch a lot of Dratini, you should definitely make some space in your Pokémon storage. So sort out a fair amount now. The best way to do this is by using the filter function in the game. By entering “0*,1*,2*”, you will only see Pokémon that have a rating of 2 stars or less.

Pokemon Go Filter Pokémon-Box
Use the filter function in the game

During the event, you can also add the entry “Older0” to this filter to only see Pokémon that are no older than 24 hours.

Additionally, you should also have some items ready. So make some space in your item bag and stock up on the essential items.

5 items that are useful for the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini

Balls: The most important item for the Community Day Classic are, of course, balls, because without them you can’t catch the Pokémon. If you play the full 3 hours, you should have at least 200 balls as a supply, so you don’t have to order more immediately.

Here we explain how to get balls in Pokémon GO.

Incense & Lures: To attract a lot of Dratini, it is advisable to use incense and lures. Since both will be active for 3 hours again, one of each will be enough. If you want to equip more than one PokéStop with lures, you’ll need more accordingly.

Keep these items ready for the Community Day Classic

Star Pieces: Since you will receive a Stardust bonus during the Community Day Classic, it is worth having a few Star Pieces on hand. With these, you receive 50% more Stardust for 30 minutes. You need this if you want to level up Pokémon or trade monsters with a friend.

Sananaberries: If you want to take advantage of the event to collect a lot of candies, you should definitely have a stock of Sananaberries. With these, you get double candies when catching. This is especially worthwhile if you want to bring your Pokémon to level 50.

Activate the right Mega Evolution

Why is a Mega Evolution worth it? If the right Mega Evolution is active during the Community Day, you can earn an additional candy for each Dratini you catch.

Which evolution is the right one? Since Dratini is a dragon Pokémon, you need a Mega Evolution of the dragon type. Use one of the following Pokémon:

  • Mega Charizard X
  • Mega Ampharos
  • Mega Altaria
  • Mega Latios
  • Mega Latias

Is the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini worth it?

Are there shiny Dratini? Yes, Dratini can also be obtained in its shiny form in the game. During the Community Days, the chances of finding a shiny are generally increased, so you have a good chance of encountering a corresponding specimen on Saturday. You can recognize it by its pink body.

Dratini, Dragonair & Dragonite normal (top) and as shinies (bottom)

How strong is Dratini? The dragon Pokémon from the first generation of games does not have particularly high stats and is therefore uninteresting for use in raids and the GO Battle League. However, it can be evolved into Dragonair and then into Dragonite.

In contrast to Dratini, Dragonite boasts high attack and stamina stats, and its defense is solid as well. With a moveset consisting of Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw, it may not surpass the top dragon Pokémon Rayquaza and Dialga, but it is still among the best dragon attackers in the game.

And even in the GO Battle League, Dragonite is right up there with a moveset of Fire Spin, Dragon Claw, and Superpower, securing 2nd place in the PvPoke rankings.

We show you more strong attackers in Pokémon GO in the following video:

Start video
Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video

Who should take advantage of the C-Day Classic? The Community Day Classic is particularly worthwhile for players who are still looking for a strong candidate for raids or PvP battles. Especially in the Master League, Dragonite is well-suited for use, but it can also hold its own in raids.

Additionally, shiny hunters will be well served on this day. If you have not yet secured a shiny specimen, be sure to take advantage of this opportunity. With the Stardust bonuses, you can also significantly replenish your stock.

Why the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini is a must-attend event for many players, read here.

What do you think about the content of the Community Day Classic featuring Dratini? Will you take part in the event? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss with other trainers.

In November, there will be another event of this kind. We will show you what bonuses you can expect for the Community Day featuring Teddiursa in November.

New World Gold farming: With these 6 tricks you can earn Talers the fastest

Gold plays an important role in New World . You use it to pay for your houses and taxes, buy items from the auction house, and pay your crafting fees. But how do you actually earn the coins quickly in the new MMO? We at MeinMMO reveal it to you in our “Gold farming” guide to New World.

How do you earn gold in New World? Basically, you earn gold for almost all activities:

  • Quests
  • City projects
  • Loot from monsters
  • Dismantling items
  • Selling items or crafting materials to other players

However, there are also some tricks to earn coins particularly quickly. We want to present you with 4 of these tips in this guide.

This article was last updated on November 4, 2022, with a new tip.

Trick 1: Earn money through faction missions

What kind of method is this? The faction missions offer two interesting methods to reward you with gold:

  • On the one hand, you will receive bonus coins for the first 3 missions of the day, which makes the missions interesting in the endgame. Here, up to 700 coins are possible.
  • On the other hand, you will receive faction tokens. With these faction tokens, you can buy the Rune of Holding, which is worth it, at least on the Fresh Start servers.

The rune comes in various levels and for a different number of tokens. However, they all fetch a lot of money at the trading post, as the rune is needed to create new bags. And every player needs more bag space, as we all know.

New World Rune of Holding

How much can one earn? Basically, the small Rune of Holding costs you 1,000 tokens (about 3 to 4 missions) and 250 coins. The price at the trading post varies depending on the server and settlement. Currently, the rune brings between 280 and 350 coins, thereby significantly exceeding its costs.

With higher reputation levels in your faction, there are higher runes of holding available. These will yield more money.

Depending on the server, you should also check whether it is worth selling the rune directly or first crafting a bag and then offering it at the trading post.

Trick 2: Complete side quests

What kind of method is this? It sounds very trivial, but complete all side quests in the game. Unlike city quests and faction missions, they reward you with a decent amount of gold.

How much can one earn? That completely depends on the quest. However, even low-level side quests usually reward between 100 and 300 coins. Those who are quick can thus earn a lot of coins.

However, many quests can only be completed once, which somewhat reduces your income in the endgame. But then there are the endgame contents. There are, however, especially in the expeditions, repeatable quests that can be worthwhile for farming – with the right group.

Trick 3: Participate in Outpost Rush, Wars, and Invasions

What kind of method is this? In this method, you participate in the endgame contents Outpost Rush (Level 60), invasions (Level 60), and wars (here you need luck to be taken along). These contents reward you with many coins, even if you lose.

How much can one earn? That depends on the respective mode:

  • In Outpost Rush, you earn gold depending on victory or defeat, as well as your personal ranking on the leaderboard. Even with a defeat, you can come to 200 to 350 coins for a round, while the maximum for a victory is in the range of 300 to 500 coins.
  • In wars, you earn up to 720 coins if you are level 60, and as a loser around 400 coins.
  • In invasions, you receive 720 as a winner. In case of a defeat, there are 480 coins.

Additionally, there is a PvP reward track that regularly brings bags of around 500 to 800 coins. You also collect progress for this through Outpost Rush and wars.

Trick 4: Farm materials and upgrade if necessary

What kind of method is this? In New World, there are two methods to earn money through crafting:

  • You can gather materials and then sell them. Due to the special crafting system, even low-level materials are always relevant.
  • In the endgame, there are materials that you can only craft a certain amount of per day.

Lucrative endgame items include Runestones, Asmodeum, Glittering Ebony, Phoenix Weave, and Rune Leather. However, you need the corresponding professions at level 200 for this.

How much can one earn? That depends on the respective server. All materials can be sold for more than the individual components. People pay for not having to wait days.

Trick 5: Trade in the right trading post

What kind of method is this? Whether you sell materials or buy expensive items cheaply and then sell them at a higher price – known as flipping – it is important that you trade in the right settlement.

Because each town has different trading taxes:

  • On the one hand, you can lower costs by increasing your reputation in the area and choosing the bonus to reduce taxes.
  • On the other hand, the company sets taxes that control the respective settlement.
New World Trading Tax
Pay attention to the trading tax when buying and selling goods in settlements.

How much can one save? That varies greatly and depends on the respective servers and of course the owners of the settlement.

If you look at the taxes, you can save between 1% and 10% of the value of your sold goods. Those who want to earn their gold through trading should definitely keep an eye on all settlements.

Tip 6: Farm trophy components

What kind of method is this? In this method, you try to collect rare components for endgame trophies in housing.

You mainly get these from chests in Brackwater or Weaver’s Fen. You just need to find and open these. The chance for rare items can be increased, by wearing equipment with luck as a stat.

How much can one earn? This again depends on the servers. However, there are rare items that are worth hundreds to thousands of coins, such as loaded dice.

New World: Where should I best buy my house?

In New World, housing plays an important role. Houses serve as fast travel points that can be used for free and provide buffs for players through trophies. But where should you build your first house? And where the others? We at MeinMMO will tell you.

Where should you buy your first house? The best areas for the first house are Windkreis or Immerfall. They are very central, which makes them particularly useful as teleport points. They used to be the best spots for trading, but the auction houses are now global since patch 1.1, so you don’t have to worry about that anymore.

For several reasons, we recommend Windkreis for the first house:

  • There you will find the best spot for leveling harvesting
  • You have a relatively short distance to the first two dungeons
  • You can quickly reach the endgame area Brackwasser
  • You cover the southern part of the map well

Although teleport costs are not as significant anymore as they were at release, you can also travel to houses from anywhere, which is a big advantage.

What exactly housing is about and why it is so important, you can find out here:

More on the topic
New World: Housing Guide – All information about taxes, storage spaces and which trophies give you the most benefit
von Phuc-Thi Nguyen

The second house to cover the middle, house 3 in the endgame area

Where should I buy the second house? For the second house, Lichtholz or Webermoor are the best choices. This way, you cover the middle well and have short distances to the endgame areas.

We recommend Webermoor, as you can quickly get to Edenhain from here and also cover the third dungeon well. Additionally, there is a lot of oil in Webermoor, making farming easier.

Where should I buy the third house? Here there are also two spots: Either you buy a house in Ebenmaß or in Brackwasser. We recommend Ebenmaß especially if you bought your house 2 in Webermoor beforehand and like to do the farming and portal runs in this area. In Ebenmaß, there are plenty of endgame contents that players frequently run.

If you already have your house in Lichtholz, you will have a relatively short distance to Ebenmaß. Then a house in Brackwasser might be worth it. Here you have access to the dungeon Lazarus Instrument and several endgame runs like Sirens.

New World Map Houses
This is what our recommended map coverage looks like.

Where should the teleport point go? You set the teleport point in the inn at the end in Bruchberg. This way you have covered the whole map well according to our plan and have the teleport points such that you never have to walk more than one area on foot to reach everything on the map.

Where did you buy your first house? And how does your distribution look? Feel free to write it in the comments.

DOTA 2: 17-Year-Old Perfectly Explains to Mom Why He Will Become a Gaming Pro – Now Wins Tournament for 20 Million $

In Singapore, the tournament “T11” was played in MOBA DOTA 2 (Steam). “The International” is known for its huge prize pools: in 2021, it was about 40 million $, and in 2022, the prize pool is approaching 20 million $. The 25-year-old Neta “33” Shapira is part of the winning team this year and made his mother proud. Because at just 17, he perfectly explained to her what he planned to do with his life: He wanted to become a professional gamer and win a major tournament – by the time he was 25.

What kind of tournament is this?

  • “The International” is the world championship of DOTA 2. The MOBA is one of the biggest games on Steam.
  • “TI” is known for having extremely high prize pools, as the winnings are tied to a Battle Pass of the popular game.
  • In 2021, the tournament distributed a total of 40 million US dollars in prize money. This year, the pool is already around 19 million $ and will continue to grow.

On the occasion of the tournament, Gabe made a personal appearance:

A teenager wanted to become a gaming pro at 17 – Mom is so proud of him

This special story is from one of the winners: The team “Tundra Esport” (based in London) dominantly won the tournament in 2022: The casters said the team had cracked the code of Dota 2.

There are 5 players from around the world: a German occupies the midlane position, a US player is the supporter at position 5, and a Slovak is the hard carry at position 1.

The Israeli offlaner Neta “33” Shapira was one of the lucky winners. He plays at position 3.

As reported by Dotesports, “33” also invited his family on stage, and his mom was allowed to raise the trophy.

A Facebook post from his mother went around the world. She wrote (via reddit):

Since he was 12 years old, he played for hours on the computer. At 17, he showed us a documentary, “Free to play”, so we could understand what kind of game DOTA 2 is and what he wants to do with his life: He wanted to become a professional E-sport player. By the time he is 25, he wanted to win his first big international tournament, he said. Today, at 25 and a half years old, he has fulfilled that wish. Mom is proud of him.

Apparently, the last 13 years have gone perfectly for the then 12-year-old, and he is still right on schedule.

That’s a nice story – especially for gamers, many of whom struggle to explain to their parents why they “can’t just hit pause” and that it’s a real hobby like football.

There are always stories of pros who make their mothers proud, who believed in them:

Destiny 2: Xur today – location and offer on 04.11.

Do you play Destiny 2? Then you should know Xur. He is the NPC vendor who helps players complete their exotic collection faster. But only if you know where to find him. MeinMMO tracks Xur every Friday and tells you what you can get from him.

What happened in Destiny 2 this week? Things are getting quieter in Destiny 2 now that Season 18 has almost exhausted its potential.

The free Halloween event is still running for now, but that ends next Tuesday. If you still need candies or masks, the coming days are your last opportunity. And those who still need enhancement cores or glimmer will be well supplied at the event.

Additionally, two Bungie employees discussed in a podcast about weapons, raid vendors for craftable weapons, and craftable exotics. Even the magical words “weapons of the Black Armory” have been spoken.

The question of the best DLC in Destiny 2 is now answered differently. The once top DLC “Forsaken” from 2018 simply lacks the hard challenge. The new DLC top favorite among players offers that and thus rises to the top of the DLC hit list.

One more tip for PS5 players: It may be that PS4 players are not fully utilizing the potential of Destiny 2. Bungie specifically pointed this out in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog and showed a to-do on how you can change that.

When does Xur come? The exotic vendor visits Destiny 2 every Friday at 6 PM. Anyone who still has gaps in their exotic collection awaits him then, as he is the easiest way to get exotics. It only costs you a round trip and some materials as payment.

Where is Xur? This is his location for the weekend

Xur’s location: Xur can be found at a different location every week. So you never know exactly where to find him.

Xur is located in the European Dead Zone in the Shattered Coast.

Otherwise, Bungie fills the inventory of the 14th Saint with new Trials passes and bounties every weekend, allowing you to increase your glory in the PvP endgame.

Which map is this week? The so-called PvP trials always take place on a fixed map.

This weekend you will fight on Bannerfall.

If you are interested in playing the Trials in a fixed team, MeinMMO recommends the callout maps via Warmind. This way, you can effectively communicate where the enemies are located on the map, which is useful information for the entire team.

This is how you get your loot: The Trials of Osiris have a reputation rank system. Your top loot reward from the PvP matches is currently available for:

  • Seven wins
  • 50 rounds
  • as well as the infamous flawless run that leads you to the lighthouse

This is the reward for a flawless run: Every week, you can expect a special weapon at the lighthouse that you receive for your flawless run, meaning 7 wins, as a master version. You can earn the weapon until next Tuesday, November 8, at 6:00 PM.

As a reward, there is always an adept weapon waiting for you if you manage to reach the lighthouse safely.

This week, Aisha’s Embrace is waiting for you. So strike again, as the Void scout rifle will be leaving the game in Season 19.

All Trials weapons have a Trials origin perk: “Speed Demon” – Improves reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last surviving member of your fireteam or fighting alone.

You can target your Trials engrams at the 14th Saint for your desired weapon. Additionally, there are enhancement prisms and ascendant shards. Remember that your reward increases even further once you have a complete pass – even if you lost one or two games.

When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris begin today, November 4, at 6 PM and end with the weekly reset on November 8 at 6 PM.

So what do you have planned for this weekend? Are you still farming some candies or sweating out those extra calories in the PvP endgame with the new pistol meta? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

CoD MW2: If you change one thing about your gameplay, you will be better immediately

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has made many gameplay adjustments and plays differently than its predecessors. Therefore, MeinMMO author Maik Schneider has a little tip for you that was already good before and is now almost OP – run slower.

In this short guide, I want to give you an important tip that can improve your gameplay instantly:

  • Sprint less, be overall slower!

I will give you 3 good reasons to slow down in CoD MW2, so your killfeed can flourish.

By the way, Season 1 is coming up soon – here you can find all the info. You can find more about Warzone 2.0 in the video:

Start video
CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up

CoD MW2: Slower! – Movement mechanics are weaker

What does that mean? Compared to earlier CoD titles, movement has been heavily nerfed. You can see this in two important techniques:

  • Slide-cancel no longer in the game
  • Bunny hopping is hardly worth it anymore

Also, sliding itself is significantly slower than before and doesn’t allow you to shoot for a certain time. Overall, many actions in the game are slower, such as using equipment or activating killstreaks.

You shouldn’t completely stop sprinting – a quick run from one cover to another is still strong. However, if you suspect enemies nearby, always remain at walking speed until you are sure where the enemy is.

Also, pay attention to mission objectives in the individual modes – an important tip from MeinMMO user “Hosenschlange”. To collect tags in “Kill Confirmed” or to quickly get points in a position, sometimes a quick sprint is the only option.

CoD MW2: Leveling Weapons Quickly 2023 – 5 Tips for Maximum Weapon Ranks
von Christos Tsogos

CoD MW2: Slower! – Weapons have better stats

What does that mean? Sprinting makes your weapons worse. There are several modifiers that affect your aim down sights speed (ADS speed). The faster you are, the slower you aim, which leads to disadvantages in direct combat:

  • Normal running: Standard ADS speed
  • Sprinting: Decreased ADS speed
  • Tactical sprint: Even lower ADS speed

If an enemy comes around the corner at full speed, they have a significant disadvantage in their aim speed. Unless you’re using a battle rifle focused on range, you will aim faster and shoot the enemy out of the picture.

However, hipfire setups from submachine guns can still annoy you. They don’t need to aim and can shoot right away – but they have a limited range.

But always stay in motion – especially with a controller. Otherwise, the strong aim assist won’t fully activate – the keyword is “aim rotation”.

CoD MW2: Slower! – Steps and environmental focus

What does that mean? Steps are a valuable tool for detecting enemies even without visual contact. However, if you run around, the enemy’s steps are drowned out by your own. You simply hear enemies worse.

In addition, continuous sprints usually don’t allow for sufficient reconnaissance. You can’t check every corner, not every time quickly “left” and “right” when crossing an uncovered area.

Relax, use all your senses, and listen to every sound. Enemy footsteps sound different than allied footsteps. You can find the best settings for louder footsteps here.

I have been with the franchise for 14 years, and the movement has never been as relaxed as in Modern Warfare 2.

Optimal for my playstyle, my strengths – I could never get used to the CoD jetpacks, and I also recommend to my teammates to take it slow when things aren’t going well.

Also, a few relaxing snacks on the table, and the evening can happily run late into the night: 7 gaming snacks that taste good but don’t mess up the controller or clutter the keyboard.

How do Twitch Drops work for CoD: MW2?

First, you need a Twitch account. Follow the link to create an account if you don’t have one yet. After that, the further procedure differs depending on whether you have an Activision account or a Battle.net account:

Activision Account First, you need to create an Activision account. After that, you can link your Activision account with your Twitch account.

Battle.net Account If you don’t have an account with Battle.net yet, you can do this through this link: Create Battle.net account. Afterward, you need to link your Battle.net account with your Twitch account.

What’s next? Once you have successfully linked your account, you are ready to participate in the Twitch Drops.

To do this, visit the website Twitch.tv and navigate through the search to streamers who regularly play Call of Duty. Pay attention to messages in the chat that drops are active with these streamers. Streamers often write this in the titles of their streams as well.

Then you just have to watch them play Call of Duty for a while. You should receive a notification that the stream is enabled for Twitch Drops. If you have watched long enough, there will be a notification that you have earned an item. After one hour, you will have earned all the rewards.

Sometimes it may take a little while before you can access the rewards in the game. Just be patient; the items usually appear after a few minutes.

New MMO will be released in 2 weeks on Steam, reminiscent of a failed survival game, aims to do many things better

On November 17, the new MMO Frozen Flame (Steam) will start in Early Access and can then be played by everyone. The game impresses with a unique gameplay concept and beautiful graphics. We at MeinMMO summarize.

What kind of game is Frozen Flame? The survival MMORPG draws you into a world that is repeatedly destroyed and goes by the name Arkana. In it exists a magical flame that can curse living beings and turn them into deranged monsters.

Your goal is to survive only until the so-called Cataclysm occurs, which will annihilate your world and your character. Or you manage to prevent it.

To tackle this, you can play the following content in Frozen Flame:

  • Crafting elements as well as taming creatures and building structures
  • Survival aspects in the form of hunger, fighting against other players, and cold
  • An action combat system where you have to actively attack and evade
  • A large, open world where you can also climb and fly
  • PvP and PvE
  • Various classes and a customizable character

It resembles in many aspects and its aesthetic strongly to the failed survival game Rend, but aims to do many things better with its own ideas.

You can watch the trailer for the game here:

Exciting mechanics even win awards

How does the game work? While you are playing Frozen Flame and battling through the world with your character, a constant danger lurks behind you. You complete quests, craft, and defeat bosses, either alone or with up to 50 other players on the official servers, but you can also create your own.

The aim is to prevent the Cataclysm, which is triggered by a major boss in a fortress. If it happens, the game world and everything in it is destroyed, including your character.

Then you must start from the beginning but retain some of your progress, a few items, and your strength. You will thus get stronger at every world-end until you eventually manage to stop the Cataclysm.

This has been well received: For this idea, Frozen Flame has already won numerous awards. Among them, one for Best Game Design at White Nights 2018 and at the NYX Awards 2022.

Fans are also looking forward to the game, as can be seen from the reddit for the game in numerous threads. So far, there have only been a few betas for the game, in which one could participate with a bit of luck. But now the Early Access is finally set to start.

It has hit potential, just like this Early Access hit with “potato” in the name:

Start video
Brotato – Early Access Trailer

Early Access starts in November – with delay

Where does the game currently stand? Since July 10, 2020, the game has already been running in a closed alpha version. Several betas followed, the last one just on the weekend of October 29, 2022. Apparently, it delivered good results, which is why shortly thereafter the Early Access start on Steam was announced.

This starts on November 17, and from then on, everyone can participate. However, there is still no exact price for it. Access to the beta currently costs 24.99 €, so it is possible that Early Access will also be in a similar price range.

Why was it postponed? Originally, Frozen Flame was supposed to launch on Steam in the 4th quarter of 2020, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID situation and is now finally making it.

The game is expected to remain in Early Access for about 12 months and then become a full-fledged Buy2Play title, so you need not worry that your money is just for early access and the game will then become Free2Play.

What do you think about it? Do you think Frozen Flame can convince more than the survival game Rend, which had a similar approach?

While Rend has already died in 2020, 2022 has already claimed several games. Kritika Online has even been hit twice.

New World: First player reaches level 60 in the Fresh Start – After 18 hours

In New World, the “Fresh Start” servers opened on November 2nd. The first player reached max level after just 18 hours. He reveals how he accomplished this on reddit.

What has the player achieved? The Fresh Start in New World attracted tens of thousands of players, including returnees, newcomers, and veterans looking to level a new character.

Among the latter is player Vasya Uksus, who reached max level 60 after 17 hours and 52 minutes. He writes on reddit about how he did it:

  • He completed the entire main quest
  • He took all faction quests as well as some town quests
  • He leveled gathering professions mining to 60 and skinning to 150
  • He used buffs from musical instruments to progress as quickly as possible

He played the full 18 hours straight. He shared his success around 11:00 AM on reddit. In this screenshot, you can see the important moment:

New World Max Level

How long did the first player take at release? The first player reached level 60 on October 3rd at 3:00 AM German time. So he took about 2.5 days to do it.

However, a lot has changed in the leveling phase in New World, as we also noticed during the Fresh Start.

The leveling phase is more streamlined, requires less travel, and needs less XP

What has changed in the leveling phase? The first levels from 1 to 25 have been completely overhauled. There are many adjusted quests, more story, and significantly shorter travel distances. The required experience points from level 35 to 55 have been significantly reduced. Additionally, new quests have been added that can be completed on the path to max level.

God of War: Ragnarok looks great on the PS4, but pushes it to its limits

On November 9, the highly anticipated God of War: Ragnarök will finally be released for the PS5 and PS4. This is likely the last major exclusive title for the PlayStation 4. However, you will learn in this article why the console can retire not just because of that.

On November 9, it’s finally time: God of War: Ragnarök will be released as the sequel to the 2018 released God of War for the PS4. The latter is considered one of the best PlayStation 4 games of all time and has an outstanding rating of 94 points on the comparison site Metacritic (via Metacritic).

Since the PS5 has unfortunately been rather scarce so far, many gamers will probably play the sequel on the PlayStation 4. For this reason, it is interesting to take a look at the performance of God of War: Ragnarök on the last-gen console.

The launch edition with extra bonuses if you preorder the game by November 8 is now available at MediaMarkt for €69.99 for the PS5 and €64.99 for the PS4 (including PS5 upgrade).

God of War: Ragnarök on the PS4

One thing is clear: the PS5 is certainly the better platform for God of War: Ragnarök. This is mainly because of the better graphics and faster loading times, but also because you can play the game at smooth 60 FPS.

How is the game’s graphics on the PS4? In short: the game still looks incredibly good on the older hardware of the PS4. If the predecessor from 2018 was already a true visual delight, the developers have really upped their game for Ragnarök.

The game runs at a maximum of Full HD (1080p), but it is clear to see how Santa Monica Studios made sure that everything is sharp, readable, and easily recognizable, even on the last-gen console.

How many FPS does GoW: Ragnarök have on the PlayStation 4? The PS4 only achieves 30 FPS, but usually quite consistently. Only in larger battles with many characters and effects do you occasionally experience brief frame rate drops. Motion blur contributes to the overall smoothness of the game.

How does the game run on the PS4 Pro? On the Pro version of the PS4, you benefit from the console’s better technology. In calm moments and when wandering through the landscape, you can enjoy stable 60 FPS in Full HD with the PS4 Pro. However, it is important to activate the performance mode on the PS4 Pro.

However, once you are involved in action-packed battles, the frame rate noticeably decreases: then the console only achieves 40 to 50 FPS – significantly less than on the PS5. The draw distance is also lower on the PS4 Pro.

In this video from IGN, you can watch a performance comparison of the two versions for PS5 and PS4:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3UAEWgOexou0026ab_channel=IGN
God of War: Ragnarök performance comparison PS5 vs PS4

Are there drawbacks to playing God of War: Ragnarök on your PS4?

As good as the game may present itself visually on the old hardware of the PS4, unfortunately, it still shows that God of War: Ragnarök pushes the last generation to its limits.

This is mainly due to the fact that you will most likely never have heard your PS4 as loud as it currently is. The console literally works its “heart out” to deliver performance on the screen and thus sounds almost like a roaring engine.

The only thing you can do about it is to occasionally clean the console.

Tips and tricks on how to quiet and clean your PS4 can be found here:

God of War: Ragnarök is the farewell that the PS4 deserves

It is clear that God of War: Ragnarök will probably be the absolute peak of what the PS4 can deliver.

This is perfectly fine, as the universally acclaimed game (via Metacritic) is a truly worthy title to gradually lay the last-gen console to rest.

Since Sony has also announced that they want to significantly increase the production of the PS5 and the first effects of this are already noticeable here, you can safely say goodbye to your PS4 after the nearly 20 hours of gameplay of the last part of the God epic.

CoD MW2: All info about Crossplay – How to play with your friends on other platforms

Crossplay in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 allows you to play with friends across the boundaries of your platform. MeinMMO reveals the most important details about the feature.

What is Crossplay? Crossplay allows you to play with friends, regardless of whether you all use the same platform.

You can easily play with friends on PC or Xbox Series X/S even if you are using a PS5 or PS4. Crossplay is available for all multiplayer modes, whether you prefer classic multiplayer like Team Deathmatch or you like to play the coop modes of CoD like Special Ops and Raids or Warzone.

To use the crossplay feature, you need a Battle.net account or an Activision account. If you do not have one of these accounts yet, you can create one for free as soon as you want to play online for the first time. Alternatively, you can also create an account through their respective websites.

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Create a Battle.net account or an Activision account
  • Start the game and log in with the respective account
  • In the game, you need to navigate to the “Options” tab in the menu
  • (Only PlayStation) – Under the “Account” tab you will find “Crossplay” where you can enable or disable the option with a switch
  • To invite friends to play, you need to navigate to the “Social” tab in the menu
  • There you will find the option “Invite Friends”
  • Use the Activision or Battle.net ID for that
  • You can find your own ID in the top right corner of the main menu

In recent weeks, there have already been a lot of updates and changes for CoD: MW2. In the video, you can check out the latest information about Warzone 2.0.

Start video
CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up

Can you disable Crossplay?

Crossplay is always turned on by default – Currently, it can only be deactivated without issues on PlayStation.

To do this, navigate to the “Options” button in the menu. There you will find the “Account” tab and there “Crossplay”. With a toggle switch, you can deactivate the feature and reactivate it if needed.

On PC, you cannot turn off the option at all, on Xbox only for most modes:

More on the topic

von Christos Tsogos

However, it is definitely worth a look into the options, as with a few adjustments you can improve your gaming experience. Adjust your audio settings to hear your enemies from afar.

Can you add friends from other platforms? Yes, this is easily possible and very simple. To add your friends from other platforms to your friend list or group, you must first be logged in with your Battle.net or Activision account. Then go to the menu and navigate to the “Social” tab, where you will find the option “Invite Friends”.

The easiest way is to add friends using the Activision or Battle.net ID. You can find your own ID in the top right corner of the main menu. The ID is formatted as follows: Username#1235.

What about Cross-Progression?

Crossplay and Cross-Progression, what is the difference? Cross-Progression is another feature of CoD: Modern Warfare 2. It ensures that your game progress is saved across platforms.

This happens automatically through your Battle.net or Activision account and applies to both single-player and multiplayer. Thanks to Cross-Progression, you can easily switch from the console in your living room to the PC in your office without losing your progress – your game settings will also be transferred.

Now it’s your turn! What do you think about Crossplay? Is it great that you can play with friends from other platforms? Or would it be better if everyone stayed to themselves? Feel free to leave us a comment and share your opinion!

FIFA 23: A masterful Twitch clip just drives me crazy – MontanaBlack pulls Ronaldinho

The sports game FIFA 23 by EA has recently come under criticism for microtransactions. German Twitch streamers, however, are pulling packs endlessly. Our author Schuhmann came across a clip of the streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris, where the 34-year-old draws Ronaldinho and is impressed.

The 59-second clip from October 2022 is a total work of art and rightly the most successful FIFA clip in Germany over the last 30 days with 53,000 views. In fact, the clip is even the biggest FIFA clip in the world in October: But the drama between Adept and xQc somehow claimed the number one spot because Adept happened to be live with FIFA 23 in a bizarre scene (via twitch). Whatever.

The clip that fascinates me begins with MontanaBlack talking about heartbreak while absentmindedly opening FIFA packs in the chat with other streamers. It’s just clicked through, not really paying attention to what’s happening in the game.

But then comes the animation of a walkout, which is played when particularly strong cards are drawn from a pack. MontanaBlack knows immediately. “Something big is happening here.”

Then he receives several pieces of information in quick succession:

  • Even before he knows anything and just sees “Walkout,” he already jumps in his chair and shouts: “Oh my God, Legend, dude!”
  • Then he sees “Brazil,” the numbers skyrocket, and he recognizes the player’s position – he shouts excitedly with outstretched arms: “Brazil, CAM!”
  • Then Ronaldinho smiles at him, and MontanaBlack escalates into a roar: “Ronaldinho!”

Like a footballer celebrating a goal, MontanaBlack is now completely ecstatic, celebrating himself as if he had just scored the decisive goal against Argentina in 2014, not Götze.

Start video
Career and Life of MontanaBlack in 2 Minutes: What Makes Him Unique?

In a second, a lot of pathos – shortly thereafter: “Ronaldinho, you bastards!”

Here, MontanaBlack shows an underestimated reason for his success. He has a tendency for pathos and the grand emotions. Sometimes during the stream, you can see how MontanaBlack completely immerses himself in Phil Collins and creates his own movie to “In The Air Tonight.”

Now he roars: “Heartbreak explanation here, and then Ronaldinho comes and hugs me and gives me a kiss.”

So he seems emotional in that moment, but it only lasts tiny moments. In the same breath, he also shouts: “Ronaldinho, you bastards!”

It is absolutely unclear whom he means by “you bastards” and why he calls that out at that moment – somehow the feelings just had to come out.

Then the other streamers join in: They publicly express their annoyance in the chat about MontanaBlack’s luck: “What?” – “So?”

More on the topic

MontanaBlack goes through all goal celebrations he can think of while sitting

But MontanaBlack just keeps shouting “Ronaldinho,” first showing the Becker fist, then spreading his arms, distorting his face, and making a strange “Hrrng” sound. “The 89-rated – CAM!” he says proudly.

The other streamers simultaneously say: “What?” – “From which pack?”

MontanaBlack is already onto the next celebration: He makes finger guns and underscores it with sounds: “Pscht, Pscht” – apparently, he’s drawing on every celebration that comes to mind.

Then he holds a finger up to the camera and roars again: “Ronaldinho.” He only makes noises, simply calls out “Wooh” and again “dude.”

“And all of this for only €13,000”

While a colleague mumbles frustrated: “Just a second icon,” MontanaBlack now shakes his finger at the camera and grins with his new teeth, before an unexpected moment of self-irony overtakes him as he says: “And all of this for only €13,000.”

While doing so, he grins, aware of the absurdity of this statement, while a colleague ironically comments: “Bargain.”

As the situation in the clip seems to be over, you can still hear the voice of Trymacs, who arrives too late to the party, asking in disbelief: “Did you pull Ronaldinho?” The envy is audible – then the clip ends.

Distinctive language and authenticity are key to Twitch success

What I find masterful about the clip is the change of emotion. MontanaBlack switches from heartbreak to ecstasy and from “Ronaldinho gives me a kiss” to “you bastards” in the span of moments.

Also, the fact that he goes through every single goal celebration he can think of is great.

Until he then has that moment and self-ironically says: “And all of this for only €13,000” – it seems almost bitter in contrast to the “pure” joy he previously radiated.

The groaning of the colleagues in the background only makes the scene funnier.

twitch-boehmermann
Böhmermann ranted against FIFA 23 and its microtransactions.

You can see why MontanaBlack is such a successful entertainer: he appears authentic and has developed a unique way of phrasing and expressing himself. This might not appeal to everyone, but it has a high recognition value.

In that regard, MontanaBlack has a lot in common with ELoTRiX: he has also found his own language rhythm.

For the same reason, streamers like xQc in the USA are also enormously successful, even if he now speaks in a way that is hardly understandable anymore.

All three streamers can be recognized immediately by their voice and their way of expressing themselves after a few seconds. Each has also coined well-known phrases or expressions. For other “smooth” streamers, this is not the case to the same extent. They might convince with their gameplay or because they hit the right game at the right time.

The clip is also ironic because MontanaBlack had previously expressed very critical views about FIFA packs just a few weeks earlier and demanded that they should actually be banned:

As the situation in the clip seems to be over, you can still hear the voice of Trymacs, who arrives too late to the party, asking in disbelief: “Did you pull Ronaldinho?” The envy is audible – then the clip ends.

Record launch at Genshin Impact: Everyone wants to play the new heroine – What makes Nahida so popular?

In Genshin Impact, the new heroine Nahida celebrates a successful launch, earning over 5 million dollars on the first day. But why is she so popular among players?

Who is the new heroine? The new heroine in Genshin Impact is named Nahida. She belongs to the “Dendro” element and is the vessel of the Archon “Lessers Mistress Kusanali” – one of seven deities of Teyvat, each connected to one of the elements.

Nahida’s design depicts a young girl with white hair and green eyes, wearing a white dress adorned with green and golden decorations.

Nahida appeared in Genshin Impact with update 3.2 on November 2nd, immediately breaking the record for the most successful character launch.

Start video
Genshin Impact: Nahida – Preview of the Abilities

Nahida banner brings HoYoverse over $5,000,000

What is the record? Nahida celebrated a record launch and has the highest revenue 24 hours after the release of a banner.

In Genshin Impact, players obtain new characters by drawing from a banner. Luck is required in the drawing, making it random whether you acquire a new character on the first or only on the 90th attempt.

The banner that allows Genshin Impact players to unlock Nahida also contains the re-released character Yoimiya – a combination that earned the developer studio HoYoverse $5,268,000 on the very first day after release. This is a new peak value.

Close behind is the re-release of the character Venti with nearly $5.1 million, as well as the banner of Ayato and the rerun of Venti with $4,849,000 (via genshinlab.com).

Nahida impresses players with her overall presentation

Why is Nahida so popular? Overall, there is no single, specific reason for Nahida’s success, as seen in the comments from players on reddit.

Instead, the heroine impresses through the entire design of the character – including backstory, abilities, her element, and existing as an Archon vessel.

What do players say about Nahida? We took a look at the Genshin Impact subreddit and gathered various impressions that speak to Nahida’s popularity. For instance, the heroine has a skill that is particularly good for farming items (via reddit).

User LivingASlothsLife also mentioned “top-notch marketing in the form of teasers etc.” as well as the fact that she is the Archon of the new region (via reddit). TheCharge408 subsequently added that basically everyone in the game either wants all Archons or needs a high-quality Dendro support character (via reddit).

The reddit user evrien also states that Nahida is very popular in China, due to the design of a young girl with white hair (via reddit), and fantafanta praises the character development of the heroine (via reddit).

In general, Nahida seems to make a good impression as the new Archon. While Genshin fan Taezn identifies her as their favorite among the four known Archons (via reddit), CTMacUser believes that she does not feel like a “real Archon” but stands well in comparison to the last three (via reddit).

In summary, players praise not only her design and backstory but also the abilities and the character videos released by HoYoverse.

If you also want to play Nahida but haven’t had any luck yet, you could certainly use some Primogems. It comes just in time that Genshin Impact is currently giving away some.

What values does Schlingking have? According to current information, Schlingking can primarily benefit from an enormous stamina. Its attack value, however, is only average, and its defense is even rather poor. Therefore, it is expected to rely on the following values (via gamepress.gg):

  • Attack: 188
  • Defense: 99
  • Stamina: 440

What attacks does Schlingking use? At this time, nothing official is known about the future movesets of the new Ultra Beast. However, the Pokéminers, a group of data miners, have found initial hints about Schlingking’s attacks in the source code of Pokémon GO, which they shared on their Twitter account.

According to them, Schlingking is expected to have access to the following attacks in the future (via twitter.com):

  • Fast Attacks:
    • Standpauke (Dark Type)
    • Dragon Tail (Dragon Type)
  • Charged Attacks:
    • Wirbler (Dark Type)
    • Dragon Claw (Dragon Type)
    • Screech (Dark Type)
    • Sludge Bomb (Poison Type)

Thus, Schlingking would have two strong fast attacks that deal good damage to the opponent. Dragon Claw and Screech are also quickly charged.

However, these data are currently only leaks and therefore not official information. The attacks may still change before Schlingking’s release. Should there be new information, we will update this here in the article.

How to get Schlingking – Location & Shiny

Where can you find Schlingking? Like the Ultra Beasts before it, Schlingking will also be found in level 5 raids. There you can battle the monster from November 8, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time until November 23, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time.

Will there be Shiny Schlingking? No! Schlingking cannot currently be captured in its shiny form in the game. If that day comes, you will recognize it by its white body and orange teeth.

Is Schlingking worth it?

Compared to other Ultra Beasts like Anego or Katagami, Schlingking is probably not able to rank among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. Therefore, you should prefer stronger candidates in raids.

And shiny hunters won’t benefit from this monster for now. However, due to its attacks, it might be useful for use in the GO Battle League. Otherwise, Schlingking is mainly interesting for the Pokédex.

We have summarized a selection of the best attackers in Pokémon GO in the following video:

How do you like the new Ultra Beast? Will you secure Schlingking? Or do you find the monster rather uninteresting? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers on this topic.

In the coming weeks, you can secure more monsters in the raids. We will show you all raid hours and legendary Pokémon in November in overview.

A new action-horror game is coming soon to Steam – Feels like “a day in the life of a guard from Elden Ring”

On Steam , an action-horror game titled “Blight: Survival” is coming soon. It is a medieval game where the player must stop the spread of the “Blight,” which transforms people into zombies.

What kind of game is Blight: Survival? It is an upcoming action-horror game with a roguelite system. The setting takes place in the 14th century, an alternate version of the Middle Ages where zombies exist.

What is Blight: Survival about? War rages in the medieval game world. A new type of the so-called “Blight” is spreading and transforming people into zombies. You and your companions are knights on a mission to stop the spread of the Blight.

The website Gamesradar noted that Blight: Survival looks like “a day in the life of a guard from Elden Ring.” With a knight as the main character in a dark alternative medieval world, this association with the guardians in Elden Ring is understandable.

Here you can see the gameplay trailer for Blight: Survival:

Blight: Survival – Gameplay Reveal

Defeat zombies and enemies in co-op mode

What does the gameplay in Blight: Survival look like? The player can team up with up to three friends in a “violent” co-op to battle undead and humans.

The game focuses on brutal combat, but the trailer also shows stealth sequences where you can sneak up on enemies undetected and take them out.

If you die in the game, other players have the opportunity to loot your items – so you can lose all your stuff in a careless moment.

On a large map, you embark on a journey to explore the game world, uncover secrets, and earn some coins.

Depending on your play style, the equipment, consisting of weapons and armors, can be individually customized.

When will Blight: Survival be released? So far, no specific release date for the game has been mentioned. On the Steam page, it currently states that the game will be available soon (as of: 04.11.2022).

If you’re interested, you can already add Blight: Survival to your wishlist and receive a notification once the game is playable.

Here you can find a upcoming action RPG in which you lead epic sword fights but can also heal your teammate from their cold as a doctor.

Warzone 2.0: Explore the new map Al Mazrah now in CoD MW2 – A little trick makes it possible

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has many maps that are located in various locations. One of them is on the map of Warzone 2.0 – “Al Mazrah”. Therefore, we show you a trick on how you can get a glimpse of the new Battle Royale map already.

See Al Mazrah without having to be in Warzone 2.0: CoD MW2 and Warzone 2.0 are two different titles; however, they share the same mechanics and the same setting.

While many players have already earned most of the Gold camos in MW2 and the excitement for multiplayer is slowly fading, soldiers want to finally dive into Warzone 2.0.

For this reason, we have a trick for you on how you can already take an early look at Al Mazrah without having to be in Warzone 2.0.

A short video explaining why Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better than its predecessor:

CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up

How you can see Al Mazrah in MW2

So you can take a look at the new Warzone map, you need a little trick.

First, you need to create a private match for the multiplayer mode. The mode should allow for a team-based match. Then click on game setup and change your map to “Al Bagra Fortress”.

CoD-MW2-Al-Fortress
Al Bagra Fortress is the map

Once you’ve selected the map, go to the “Game Rules” menu. Here, switch to the “Team” tab and go to the “Spectate” option. Now you need to change this menu option to “Free”. This way, you can move the camera freely during spectator mode and are not bound to the playing team.

Start a match and wait for it to begin. Then, in the menu, select “Switch Team” and then “Spectate”. Now you take over the view of the spectator camera and can explore the surrounding map outside of Al Bagra Fortress.

Why can I see Al Mazrah? The map “Al Bagra Fortress” is also located in Al Mazrah. However, Infinity Ward did not put the map in a separate environment but merely locked it and downgraded the surrounding map textures.

Thus, Al Mazrah is still intact, but in a visually worse state. Most likely to avoid burdening platforms with loading textures.

When does Warzone 2.0 start? Warzone 2.0 starts on November 16. Additionally, the first season will be released for both new shooter titles of the franchise, so you have something to chase right away.

These were all the important details on how you can already take an early look at the new Warzone map “Al Mazrah”. Will you try the trick? And what do you think of the new map of Warzone 2.0? Feel free to leave us a comment at the end!

Greedy players are currently making WotLK Classic hell for those who are urgently needed in their group

Many players have already reached the endgame of WoW Classic in Wrath of the Lich King and are now farming gear in raids and heroic dungeons. However, some players apparently can’t get enough quickly enough – healers are raising objections.

These players are the issue: Healers have long been regarded as the most important members of a group in large parts of the community. Every player has their role in the group, but the success of the next enemy group or the next boss usually depends on the healer’s mana.

If the DPS players are bad, a dungeon simply takes longer. If the tank lacks gear, a good healer can usually compensate for that, as long as the tank doesn’t fall over after a hit.

Healers are responsible for keeping you alive. However, it has traditionally been the case in WoW for years: Everyone needs healers, but hardly anyone wants to play them.

So what is the problem? A part of the classic community plays extraordinarily performance-oriented, always looking for optimal groups and wants to spend as little time as possible on dungeons, raids, and quests.

Accordingly, players are in a hurry when they are in a group for heroic dungeons. In heroic dungeons, you can prepare for raids, which are among the most important activities at level 80.

In the currently largest thread in the WoW Classic subreddit, a user criticizes it with a meme. One must never stop, not even for a minute – dungeons must be mastered immediately and without a breather.

This particularly goes against the grain of healers. The thread has already accumulated over 6,000 upvotes and over 600 comments. The most popular comments come from healers who are complaining.

WotLK Classic is super popular. The first ship to Northrend in the middle of the night alone had hundreds of players on board:

“Dude, that’s not your decision”

A popular strategy in dungeons is called “Big Pull”, which means pulling as many enemies as possible together. For DPS players, this is a feast, as their damage numbers shoot up to insane heights. Especially new healers struggle with the high demands.

The problem here is that according to healers, mainly other players demand such pulls, even though they can’t handle that. One player describes his experiences as “interesting”, another elaborates on his experiences:

In my second heroic dungeon as a healer, one of the DPS told the tank: ‘You can pull more’, right in the second trash group. I quietly sweated and thought to myself: Dude, that’s not your decision.

Even as a healer with good gear, such a situation is difficult, another user reports. Currently, many off-spec characters are playing as tanks who still want to rush through the dungeon. This does not work when a healer needs to drink or resurrect other players at the back.

There are also ongoing complaints that some people have absurd requirements for the “Gearscore”, especially for raids. Staring at numbers and hoping for a slightly faster run drains the fun from the game, according to players.

Even some tanks agree. One had to deal with a DPS player who kept pulling more groups – until the wipe. Such behavior is not conducive to speed. Other tanks agree that they and the healers set the pace and depend on the healer’s mana. Another group had an unhealthy attitude towards speed early on and paid dearly for it:
