WoW: Those who do not play, do not win – Here is how you solve the quest

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Ardenweald, the quest “He who does not play, cannot win” awaits you in WoW: Shadowlands. To solve it, you should use emotes. We show you how to do that in the guide.

What kind of quest is this? In the north of Ardenweald, you will find an NPC named Playful Trickster. And he lives up to his name. Because in the quest “He who does not play, cannot win” (English: The games we play), you must be prepared for tricks.

These emotes are the solution for the quest

What do you have to do? While the Playful Trickster talks to you, you need to pay close attention to what he says. And then respond quickly.

Keep a close eye on the text boxes and then respond with the correct emote. Often, he already mentions the right actions in the text, like “dance with me,” where you should perform the dance emote.

How do you perform emotes? If you are still new to World of Warcraft and have never used them, you can learn here. Open the chat with Enter, type “/praise,” and confirm again with Enter. You type that without the quotes. When you confirm, your character will perform the emote. It doesn’t matter in the German client whether you type “Tanzen” in German or “dance” in English. The emotes will execute in both languages. However, the English client does not recognize German emotes.

Remember these terms for now:

  • /thank
  • /introduce
  • /praise
  • /strong
  • /dance
  • /cheer

Keep in mind that the order may look different for you.

TextEmote
I once managed to convince all Sylvari
in a glade that I am a
member of their court. The other Spriggans
cheered me for days!		/cheer
Oh, my legs are almost twitching with excitement!
I could dance forever. Dance with me!		/dance
At the courts of the Fae, manners are very
important. The slightest misstep can… have
horrible consequences. The presentation plays a
crucial role in the first impression		/introduce
We do a lot to help people. You certainly know
the stories. Mending shoes, plowing fields,
bringing separated lovers together.
And what do we get in return? No one praises
our deeds! Hmpf!		/praise
Many can use our talents, but
few earn them. Some give us
gifts that are always graciously accepted.
Some want to outsmart us and usually fail.
Some ask for
permission and always thank us for our
efforts.		/thank
We Spriggans have our own heroes!
Great hero Hollain is said to have
split a mountain with a single
thrust of his spear. Oh, what a sight
that must have been! How strong he
must have been!		/strong

Especially Ardenweald has much more to offer. Cortyn from MeinMMO crowns Ardenweald as the most beautiful area WoW has ever had.

MMORPG from Germany broke the taboo that WoW does not dare to approach: Players are allowed to sell chars

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In many MMORPGs like WoW, players sell their accounts for real money on platforms like eBay. This is against the official rules and, worse, it carries many risks for buyers and sellers. But the German MMORPG Tibia from Regensburg has been doing it differently since 2020. CipSoft has broken the taboo and allows trading of characters in the game. We at MeinMMO spoke with one of the founders about why this is the case.

This is how it is with WoW: Anyone who goes to eBay right now can purchase a WoW account on the Blackhand server for €160 with a Level 60 Priest and Warrior.

The seller assures: The account is safe, he has also earned about 100 mounts and completed the campaign to 3/7. Upon receipt of €160, he would hand over all existing data.

This is not an isolated case: in many MMORPGs, accounts are constantly sold back and forth. It’s not something people talk about much.

But probably every MMORPG player knows the situation where a friend in the guild says goodbye to everyone because he is quitting the game: Yet a few weeks later, his character logs in again, but it is no longer the friend playing the familiar hero, but a stranger.

A controversial feature in MMORPGs is the gender lock:

Account trading via eBay brings great risks of being scammed

This is the problem with this type of trading: This trade takes place outside the game and is not welcomed by Blizzard and other publishers: There is a real risk that the account will be banned later or that the seller will reclaim the account through an appeal when the next expansion launches.

The seller also bears the risk that the buyer will request a refund.

The trading of characters and items through platforms like eBay is not supported by MMORPG developers but rather more or less ignored. Anyone trading there does so at their own risk. Furthermore, the “entire account” is always traded there.

This is how it is in the MMORPG Tibia: In Tibia, the “Character Bazaar” has existed since August 25, 2020. Like on a marketplace, players can freely buy and sell characters there.

There are clear rules for the transaction: The character must be tidy, must not own a house, or be registered for certain character services.

From the Tibia coins that flow during trading, developer CipSoft receives a 12% commission.

For 23 years, account trading in Tibia was strictly forbidden

How was it all the time in Tibia: We at MeinMMO spoke in May with one of the founders of Tibia, Stephan Vogler. Vogler co-founded the MMORPG Tibia with study friends in 1997.

For more than 20 years, the golden rule in Tibia was that trading accounts was strictly forbidden:

For us, it was a sacred principle that one should not pass on the account: one should not simply buy the state of a level, but it must always come with time. Until August 2020, we said: No, accounts should not be traded. And if we noticed this, those accounts would be banned and punished.

Every top account was traded – it had already been the standard for years

How did that change? Vogler explains that at some point, they looked closely at the situation and asked themselves: How many of our accounts are not traded?

We then found that practically all high-level accounts that were in the top third – they were all traded. All. There was practically no one who played their character to that point. And through surveys, we found out: It is just normal for players to trade. They kept quiet about it and kept it secret from us and didn’t brag about it, but it had practically been standard in the community for years.

Vogler explains that CipSoft could see how strongly players were trading their characters illegally, as a certain system for “account recovery” had been triggered incredibly often. Buyers used that to ensure that the new character really belonged to them.

Vogler explains that they saw this and knew it was certainly related to the “stupid trading,” but they never really cared about it.

Ultimately, they came to the conclusion:

In the end, we said: Hey, if it’s already standard, then let’s make it official.

Character Bazaar is a great success for the MMORPG

The advantage of the Character Bazaar is now that players can pass on each character individually under safe conditions:

It’s really amazing how well this is received and how many transactions are conducted. And no one from the community has ever complained.

Vogler explains that in the “illegal trade” outside the platform, one always has to trust someone: the buyer trusts the seller, the seller trusts the buyer, or one must trust a middleman. The Character Bazaar makes the transaction safer overall.

Tibia is a highly interesting MMORPG that plays a significant role in some countries around the world:

New fighting game lets Tom and Jerry fight against Batman – Gets 93% positive reviews on Steam

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

On July 19, the game MultiVersus launched into Open Beta on Steam. In this game, various people and creatures owned by Warner Bros. battle against each other. At peak, over 60,000 players were online simultaneously, and the first reviews are very positive.

What kind of game is this? MultiVersus is a platform fighting game and loosely resembles successful titles like Super Smash Bros. or Tekken. The quirky part: You play against each other with the craziest characters. Among the options are:

  • Bugs Bunny
  • Shaggy from Scooby-Doo
  • Batman
  • Harley Quinn
  • Tom and Jerry as a duo
  • LeBron James, the basketball player
  • Arya Stark

Each of these characters has unique abilities that can also be combined with other characters. Furthermore, there are three perks that can be adjusted before the fight, adding more tactics.

You can play in co-op, 2v2, or directly in a 1v1. There’s also a free-for-all mode that accommodates 4 players. In addition to online multiplayer, there is also a single-player mode.

When will the game be released? The game is currently in Early Access for the Open Beta. The official Open Beta is set to take place on July 26. To gain early access, you need to pay 40 euros. However, the final game is expected to be Free2Play.

In addition to Steam, MultiVersus is also available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. You can get a glimpse of the gameplay in this trailer:

MultiVersus – Gameplay-Trailer zum neuen Fighting-Game

MultiVersus has more players than the top 10 fighting games on Steam combined

How is MultiVersus performing? Very well. In the last 24 hours, there were over 49,000 players online at peak, and on July 21, there was even an all-time high of 61,964 (via SteamCharts). Thus, the game had more peak players in the last 24 hours than the 10 largest fighting games on Steam combined:

  • Brawhalla had 17,298 players
  • Tekken 7 had 6,428 players
  • DNF Duel had 2,766 players
  • Street Fighter 5 had 3,108 players
  • Mortal Kombat 11 had 2,582 players
  • Dragon Ball FighterZ had 1,930 players
  • Guilty Gear Strive had 1,921 players
  • King of Fighters 15 had 813 players
  • Rivals of Aether had 618 players
  • Granblue Fantasy: Versus had 180 players

More about Steam on MeinMMO:

What do the reviews say? The reviews praise the game as well. Out of 1,001 reviews, 93% are positive. They particularly commend:

  • The generally good gameplay.
  • The crazy characters that can also be tested beforehand in a mode.
  • The many new characters that have already been implemented.
  • The fact that it is expected to be completely Free2Play in the future.

This makes MultiVersus a serious competitor to Smash Bros. for many, which costs money and can only be played on Nintendo consoles.

Some doubts still exist regarding the shop and balance. The shop is not implemented in the beta yet. According to some users, there are characters that are far too strong and need to be adjusted.

Have you already checked out MultiVersus? What do you think of the game and the characters? Will you try it out when it becomes Free2Play? Feel free to leave it in the comments.

  • Over 2 million people follow his survival and bushcrafting adventures on YouTube (as of July 2022)
  • His survival show “7 vs. Wild”, where he and six other participants faced the Swedish wilderness, was watched by up to 6.5 million people
  • In June 2022, he announced the participants of Season 2 – including gaming influencer Knossi
  • Recently, he has repeatedly come under criticism
  • He apparently seems annoyed by the criticism and expresses his views about the “softened do-gooders” on Instagram

Meinecke feels restricted – Fears backlash when he speaks his mind

This is what happened: Since mid-July, Meinecke has come under repeated criticism. During a bike tour in Hungary, he made a sexist remark towards a woman and used her face as a thumbnail for a YouTube video. (via Play Central)

During a Q&A session on his Instagram channel on July 25, 2022, he received the message “why always so toxic”. In response, Meinecke, who is currently on a tropical island, delivered a rant.

Meinecke opens his tirade with the statement that he often holds back a lot. If he were to actually say what he thinks, he would probably be banned everywhere. What we have seen so far is therefore just the tip of the iceberg.

Why does he hold back so much? Meinecke also mentions a reason for his perceived restraint: If he were to say what he really thinks, he would probably have no more partners for collaboration. He also fears a “whole new level” of the word “shitstorm”.

Clearly, he feels that he can no longer express himself freely. You can no longer offend anyone anywhere, you have to justify yourself for everything. He finds clear words for that and even underscores it with a vomiting emoji.

This overly softened do-gooder society really gets on my nerves. […] Always politically correct.

Fritz Meinecke via Instagram

What exactly bothers him? However, Meinecke elaborates further and comments on topics that are often discussed very emotionally. Among them are trigger warnings and the so-called gender language. He apparently doesn’t think much of either, nor of political correctness as a whole.

Now the anger over Meinecke’s statements is boiling over

These are the reactions: The post spread on Twitter, where it was shared by “Rocket Beans TV” moderator Simon Krätschmer, accompanied by the comment “Is this that 7 vs. child?” Discussions quickly arose under this and other posts. (via Twitter)

On one side, like-minded people are speaking out. They consider Meinecke particularly authentic as he apparently speaks to their souls. “I think and say exactly the same thing all the time,” states a Twitter user. (via Twitter)

What the critics say: On the other hand, there is a flood of criticism. Time and again it is mentioned how many sensitive topics Meinecke can cover in a single post. The Twitch streamer Kim, alias freiraumreh, sums it up well:

How do I best package gender language, toxic masculinity, trans, sexism, trigger warnings, softening of society, and ‘I’m still a man with real balls and I can’t express myself freely’ into one slide?

freiraumreh via Twitter

Others are bothered by the apparent double standards. After all, it is Meinecke himself who seemingly cannot take criticism and feels directly attacked.

Some have already announced that they will no longer watch the second season of “7 vs. Wild” and question the participation of internet personalities who otherwise stand for completely different values. (via Twitter)

Both sides feel strengthened by the statements of the other party. Those are exactly the people this is about.

Between the fronts, there are also some more neutral voices. They find the statements not good, but do not feel it is worth getting all worked up about, it is said. (via Reddit)

Meinecke addresses topics that polarize society

Why the statements are problematic: With his recent actions, Meinecke touches upon many controversial topics: such as trigger warnings and gender language. There are people for whom these matters are very important. Others find them unnecessary and disturbing.

Opinions on these topics vary widely and polarize society. The explosive nature of it was evident a few weeks ago when Fynn Kliemann complained about the “woke left scene”.

Even if Meinecke himself has not made direct statements of this kind, he addresses content that often appears in homophobic, transphobic, sexist, or discriminatory contexts.

Formulations like “do-gooders” and “You should still be able to say that!” are negatively connoted for many people.

Meinecke also plays on a fear of self-censorship: If he says what he thinks, he could get into trouble, which is why he constantly has to hold back.

The trouble could be, for instance, the loss of collaboration partners or the cancellation of participants for his show.

So far, there have been no official statements from the participants, but participant Starletnova liked a post on Twitter that at least expressed misunderstanding about Meinecke’s statements. What consequences will arise for the show remains to be seen.

Not only Fritz Meinecke is currently polarizing with controversial statements. The kickboxer and streamer Andrew Tate also regularly shocks with misogynistic comments. Now he was supposed to help a 17-year-old impress a peer. That however went terribly wrong.

Survival game on Steam makes you addicted to a strange green liquid – players compare it to the popular horror game Chernobylite

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

The Polish developer studio Game Island has presented a new survival game. Some players are already comparing it to a popular horror game. We introduce you to the title, here you can watch the announcement trailer:

The announcement trailer for the new survival game Serum

What kind of game is this? The new survival game by Game Island is called “Serum” – a horror adventure that makes you dependent on a green liquid. This liquid also gives the title its name.

In Serum, the liquid is crucial. You need to inject it into your character regularly, or else he will die, as our colleagues from GameStar.de learned from the developers.

What does the trailer show? The trailer for Serum shows a creepy landscape (minute 00:02 to 00:14), where the player is attacked by a dog-like monster (around minute 00:20). We also catch a first glimpse of the injection of the serum (minute 00:06).

“The Evil Ending of Chernobylite”

What do players say about the trailer? The trailer for Serum also appeared on the YouTube channel of the gaming magazine IGN. There, numerous players expressed their first impressions of the trailer. Many compared it to the popular horror game Chernobylite, which has 83% positive reviews on Steam. But other games like Metro and Fallout were also mentioned.

  • Mav Vynn: “The game seems to be very similar to ‘The Beast Within’ and ‘Chernobylite’.”
  • zeeshan aftab: “Metro x Systemshock x Chernobylite = Serum”
  • Joydragon Gaming: “Looks like a somewhat decent expansion for Fallout 4.”
  • Andrew.CP: “So this is what happens after we get the evil ending in the game Chernobylite…”
  • 2D OS Games: “Reminds me a bit of Bioshock, nice atmosphere!”

The Battle for the Green Liquid

What makes Serum special? Your task in Serum is not only to ensure your survival but also to find out more about the mysterious liquid. You are in a constant race against time, as you may run out of the liquid. Then you need to find supplies.

New serum can be found in certain locations in the hostile environment of the horror title. However, this world is as deadly as the lack of injection of the green liquid.

You must fight against various creatures to survive and arm yourself. In addition to the usual melee and ranged weapons, there are also so-called “serum-controlled weapons” in Serum.

But the serum is not only positive and can also change your character’s body.

If you want to see some first gameplay scenes from Serum, check out this video:

What do we know about the game’s release? Currently, no release date is known, but Serum can already be added to the wishlist on Steam. A release before 2023 is currently not expected.

Additionally, there is currently no information regarding a potential console release or a release via Epic Games Store. So far, Serum is exclusively available on Steam.

Serum is published by the German publisher Toplitz Productions, which has more survival games on its release list for 2022. One of them is Sengoku-Dynasty, which leads players to feudal Japan and allows them to build their own village there.

Large YouTuber tries class switching in Diablo Immortal, says: “Was a terrible mistake”

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

With the update from July 20, you can now utilize class switching in Diablo Immortal. One of the biggest YouTubers for the game has tried out the new feature, but is already sure: He won’t be playing the new class for more than a week.

Who is the YouTuber? DM: Diablo Immortal (short for: “DarthMicrotransaction”) is currently one of the largest content creators for Blizzard’s new game on YouTube. Since its release, his channel has grown, now boasting over 50,000 subscribers, many of whom came through Diablo Immortal.

His videos regularly reach tens of thousands of views, making them the most viewed of all channels that consistently produce content on Diablo Immortal. He shows guides, information, and tips – like that you are probably farming all wrong.

The YouTuber is also an extremely skilled player, impressing even in PvP with his abilities. He has demonstrated a crazy necromancer build without damage, designed solely to annoy opponents – and thus dominates.

Since update 1.5.2 from June 20, class switching has been available in Diablo Immortal. DM has checked out the feature and swapped his beloved necromancer for a monk, which he believed would be fun. But it turned out differently.

In our guide, you will find all information about class switching in Diablo Immortal. In the video, we show you where you can switch your class:

Diablo Immortal: So wechselt ihr die Klasse

This is what DM says about his new class: His video on the conclusion of the new class is titled: “I made a terrible mistake.” He explains in the video:

I may have made the worst choice ever. The necromancer is 1,000% better than the monk. What was I thinking?!

While he probably means it with a wink, he is certain that he will play the monk “for at most a week”. He shows scenes where he repeatedly dies in PvP or barely finishes a challenge portal with less than 5 seconds on the clock.

In his video, it is shown that he ranks third among the best monks on the server, yet he sees the significant weaknesses of the class. However, these weaknesses are not only inherent to the monk but generally apply to melee fighters.

“It’s not the classes that are bad, but melee combat itself”

What is the problem with melee combat? Unlike ranged fighters, melee fighters rely on being close to their opponents. They often get surrounded and cannot move without special abilities.

DM explains that he always has to keep his distance and can only attack when he has certain skills ready that can stun opponents, in order to deal some damage. Afterwards, he has to flee and wait.

According to DM, melee fighters have to wait for their skills, unleash them, and then wait again, while ranged fighters can simply keep firing with their primary skills.

Although the monk is “fun” with his agile gameplay, melee fighters generally have this problem. The video clearly shows how he struggles to even complete the challenge portal. He goes so far as to change his skills in the middle of the boss fight.

In our tier list for Diablo Immortal, the monk ranks last, and he finds himself on many tier lists. In the video, we show you gameplay for all classes in the game:

Diablo Immortal: All 6 Classes in Brief Overview with Gameplay

Is this true for everyone? DM plays at an extraordinarily high level, already over Paragon 116, and yet plays against enemies that require a higher combat rating. This means: Even for his skill level, the opponents are still “too strong,” and yet he defeats them.

As seen in the video, he is already comfortably playing on Hell 3. Most players are still stuck in Hell 2. At this level, it is all about playing nearly perfectly and getting the most out of the character.

For the majority of players, the difference between melee and ranged fighters may not matter much, and it is advisable to play what is fun. However, performance-oriented players like to look for what the pros currently consider the best.

However, the difference in class strength affects how well you progress. And this is currently causing larger issues in the game overall:

A player in ESO owns all DLCs without spending a cent on the MMORPG

Anny Anny Reading time 3 minutes

A player shares on the subreddit of The Elder Scrolls Online that he bought all DLCs with Gold instead of investing real money. Users ask him how he did it.

The post by player WagyuBeefCubes shows that you can progress in ESO even without money. He only acquired the base game and farmed the rest. He states that he has never subscribed to ESO Plus and never bought crowns, the real-money currency of ESO.

Already in the title of his post, he invites the community to ask him any questions.

Farming Gold for Crowns

“For all equally burnt-out/ poor/ financially challenged players out there: It’s possible, even without ridiculous grinding,” explains WagyuBeefCubes.

He exchanges his gold for crowns. In North America, the rate is about 1:1500, so one crown for 1500 gold. On the European servers, the rate is currently about 1:1800, sometimes even 1:2000.

How do you get crowns for gold? There are communities like Tamriel Crown Exchange that ensure players receive items from the Crown Store for in-game gold.

The Crown Store offers a gifting feature through which DLCs and other content can be gifted. So you pay another player to buy you content for real money.

Tamriel Crown Exchange ensures that the transfer is secure and that you are not scammed. However, there is no 100% guarantee that everything will go without fraud. So please be a bit cautious.

What crowns typically cost: You get 1,500 crowns for 13 Euros, 3,000 crowns for 21 Euros. Through bulk discounts, they become “cheaper” the more you spend. For example, you can buy 21,000 crowns for 125 Euros. There are several ways to save on crowns and DLCs.

This is what the DLCs cost:

  • Imperial City: Free
  • Morrowind: Free
  • Orsinium: 3,000 crowns (21 Euros)
  • Thieves Guild: 2,000 crowns (14 Euros)
  • Dark Brotherhood: 2,000 crowns (14 Euros)
  • Clockwork City: 2,000 crowns (14 Euros)
  • Horns of the Reach: 1,500 crowns (13 Euros)
  • Shadows of the Hist: 1,500 crowns (13 Euros)
  • Dragon Bones: 1,500 crowns (13 Euros)
  • Wolfhunter: 1,500 crowns (13 Euros)
  • Murkmire: 2,000 crowns (14 Euros)
  • Wrathstone: 1,500 crowns (13 Euros)
  • Scalebreaker: 1,500 crowns (13 Euros)
  • Dragonhold: 2,000 crowns (14 Euros)
  • Harrowstorm: 1,500 crowns (13 Euros)

To buy the DLC Dragonhold, for example, you would need to exchange 3.6 million gold at a rate of 1:1800.

However, expansions cannot be purchased for crowns, only directly with real money. Only the 3 DLCs released each year are available in the Crown Store.

Check out the trailer for the latest expansion High Isle:

Community Asks for Tips on How to Quickly Obtain Gold

In the comments, users are now asking how the player obtained so much gold. Allegedly without huge grinding.

“I’m doing everyone here a favor and asking the most important question: What source have you received the most gold from?” asks Turbulent_Dare3263.

WagyuBeefCubes replies that he mainly achieved this through trading. He buys items that are offered cheaply on the market and sells them for more. He is not the best trader in his guild but earns about 16 to 19 million gold per week through these sales.

Many of his tricks he learned from the YouTuber Arttea, whom he mentions multiple times in his replies.

How long did it take him? According to his own statements, the player needed about 6 months to be able to buy all DLCs with gold. Unfortunately, he does not disclose the exact hours played.

WoW: Youtuber kills a group of Horde players in less than a second – With a power

Anny Anny Reading time 2 minutes

The YouTuber Rextroy takes down entire groups as a mage in the PvP mode of World of Warcraft. He achieves this with a Kyrian legendary and the assistance of a toad, which causes his opponents to fall one after another.

Rextroy is known for finding glitches and exploits in WoW. In the past, he managed to kill his opponents with a single shot as a hunter.

Now Rextroy wants to take on entire groups instead of just single players.

How does it work? First, the player uses the item “Harmonious Echo”, which is the Kyrian legendary for mages. This expands the Kyrian covenant ability to deal area damage. He then fires at an opposing player, but due to the item, 4 surrounding players take 25% of the damage.

For the damage to lead to kills, Rextroy uses a level 1 wild animal: the gently pressed toad. It takes increased damage from players at level 60, including Rextroy. The damage then transfers to the surrounding players, causing the 25% to be extremely high and the entire group to fall. “I dealt 3.2 million damage,” he says laughing in the video.

Link to the YouTube content

How exactly does the kill play out? Rextroy becomes invisible and places the toad on the ground. A priest from his faction takes control of it through mind control and casts “Ray of Hope”, making it invulnerable for 6 seconds.

Exactly at that moment, the YouTuber uses “Time Warp” and quickly casts Radiant Spark on the animal. He also lets “Arcane Missiles” fly afterwards. The first hit applies a debuff on the opponents, and each subsequent hit kills 4 surrounding players.

The YouTuber is not only known for finding exploits, he has also defeated raid bosses solo.

Aren’t exploits forbidden? Basically yes. Especially the dissemination of exploits is frowned upon by Blizzard. In Rextroy’s case, however, he is in contact with the developers and sends them a report about each bug or exploit. His videos are usually released only after the error in the game has been fixed and can no longer be reproduced. Therefore, most of Rextroy’s “oneshot” combos can no longer be replicated.

What do you think of the exploit that Rextroy has found? Have you ever suddenly found yourself confused on the ground, like the poor players in the video? Do you sometimes use the toad to deal area damage? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!

Genshin Impact: Player takes 2 years for Max level – “I don’t want to lose my status as a F2P player”

Anny Anny Reading time 2 minutes

A player started with Genshin Impact at release and has logged in every day since. Recently he reached the maximum rank. He shares his experiences with the community.

“I am Shahar. I have been playing and loving Genshin Impact since the release,” he begins his post in the official forum as well as on reddit. He talks about how he started playing the game back then with his friends, who gradually stopped going online. Only he remained and didn’t miss a single day – he logged in for 662 consecutive days.

Even though the content becomes dry and he struggles to progress, Shahar logs in every day to not break the streak.

By now, he has reached AR60, which is the highest adventure rank. Here you can find his reddit post.

He didn’t spend real money on Genshin Impact

What makes Shahar’s story even more special is the fact that he didn’t spend a single cent on Genshin Impact.  “I was tempted to invest money, but I chose to maintain my status as a Free2Play player,” the player explains.

He feels that he has a special role and title – AR60 without spending money, which not everyone achieves.

It took about a year for the first players to reach the maximum rank at all. This already indicates how high the effort is, even if you invest money.

Is there a reward for the highest rank? Yes, but it is relatively laughable. For the eternal grind to AR60, players receive a few wishes, primogems, and upgrade materials for weapons and characters.

So if someone expected a special reward for reaching rank 60, they will be disappointed.

Nevertheless, Shahar thanks the developers and the community at the end of his post for the time he had and will continue to have.

What do you think about Shahar’s personal achievement? Could you manage to log in daily for 2 years without missing a day? What adventure rank have you already achieved in Genshin Impact?

German Twitch streamers discover a new trend that makes them sweat – The fans love it

Sayumi (Lena) Sayumi (Lena) Reading time 2 minutes

It is no secret that many Germans love football. Now, some Twitch streamers and YouTubers are discovering this passion as well. Recently, Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler and his team SSV Hardstuck played their very first cup match against the fifth division team Eimsbütteler TV.

What’s the deal with football and Twitch streamers? As early as the end of 2021, the biggest German streamer eliasn97 founded his club Delay Sports Berlin and already rocked his first games. His YouTube video reached number 4 in the gaming trends and so far has garnered 715,000 views.

Knossi also sponsored a football team, SC Baden-Baden aka the “Knossis Kickers”, and was present at the games (via YouTube). The viewers celebrated the video and demanded more such content in the comments.

Now Trymacs had his first cup match and had to face the fifth division team Eimsbütteler TV from the Hamburg Oberliga. His associated YouTube video also made it into the trends in the “Gaming” category – and even reached number 2.

On July 2nd, a huge football event took place on Twitch, attracting over 14,000 simultaneous viewers. You can find everything about the wild spectacle here:

More on the topic
Twitch: Soccer event with Trymacs was a huge success – Many goals, penalty shootouts and 3 injured
von Alexander Leitsch

This is how the match between SSV Hardstuck and Eimsbütteler TV went

The match was held entirely in secret and the fans were not informed, as Trymacs could not yet arrange for security. Many team members were absent for the game due to illness or being “not present”.

Additionally, the team had 2 wildcard members who were not permanently part of the team but were allowed to participate in the match.

The team was therefore “wildly assembled”, did not know some of the names of their teammates and Trymacs took it all rather casually. Nevertheless, he scored his 1st goal and also provided an assist. They ended up with a score of 2:5, which was not so bad, and they “performed great”.

  • Sondo81 is excited: “That’s exactly what I wanted to see! Really cool. Fouls, goals, and blind referees, that’s Kreisliga! Best to train endurance every day now, then I see potential for improvement! Jan did really well.”
  • A Certain Accelerator states: “I’m not really a football fan, but the video was very entertaining. Mega cool project and props to the editor.”
  • JohnXD7 remarks: “Mega good project. If your goalkeeper could actually move and dive (no offense), you could even become a really good team.”

Occasionally, some commenters even give tips on the lineup and advise the team to train. They see potential in the team and are convinced that with dedication they could even beat eliasn97’s team.

Steam offers its users the opportunity to own countless games in their libraries. How many games have you actually touched in your collection?

“Game backlog” is a term that many of us will be familiar with. The stack of games that we bought but then never even looked at. Especially with Steam, the risk of building up a backlog is extremely high.

After all, the PC platform tempts with countless free games, games that cost only a few euros, and regular sales where you can save a lot of money. It’s not uncommon for your Steam library to suddenly contain hundreds of games.

Maybe you even wanted to play them and not just add them to your collection, but who has the time for that these days? And so the stack of unplayed games keeps getting bigger. Or maybe it doesn’t?

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Meditie and evolution bonus – Is it worth it?

Mark Sellner Mark Sellner Reading time 3 minutes

Today, July 26, the weekly Spotlight Hour takes place in Pokémon GO. This week, the Pokémon Meditie is in focus. We at MeinMMO show you when the event starts, what bonuses are available, and whether it is worth it for you.

What kind of event is this? The Spotlight Hour takes place weekly on Tuesday evenings in Pokémon GO. During this hour, one Pokémon is highlighted, which appears more frequently than its counterparts.

This week, a Psychic and Fighting type Pokémon, Meditie, is in focus. Additionally, you will receive more experience when evolving Pokémon. Two weeks ago, Machollo, a strong fighting Pokémon, was featured in the Spotlight Hour.

Spotlight Hour with Meditie – Start, Bonuses & Shiny

When does the Spotlight Hour start? As usual, the Spotlight Hour starts today at 6:00 PM German time. From this time, Meditie will appear more frequently for 60 minutes, until the event ends at 7:00 PM with increased spawns.

What bonuses are there? During the hour with Meditie, you will receive a bonus on the experience gained from evolving Pokémon. This means that you can collect double the amount of XP for all evolutions between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM. This applies to all Pokémon, not just Meditie itself.

Is there a Shiny variant of Meditie? Yes, both Meditie and its evolution Meditalis are available in their shiny form in Pokémon GO and can be obtained during the Spotlight Hour with some luck. However, there is no bonus for shiny Pokémon during the event.

Pokémon-GO-Meditie-Shiny
Meditie looks slightly reddish in its shiny form

Is the Spotlight Hour with Meditie worth it?

How strong is Meditie: You can’t really do much with Meditie itself if you want to battle. However, things look different with its evolution Meditalis. Especially in the Super League in PvP, Meditalis can really shine.

Aside from that, the Pokémon isn’t particularly worthwhile if you’re only looking for strong attackers. In both Fighting and Psychic types, other Pokémon clearly outshine it when it comes to gym battles and raids.

Creative player improves his setup for the Xbox with only 50 € – Builds hardware from Lego

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

A gamer didn’t want to buy expensive hardware for his setup. Instead, he invested “only” 50 euros and presents the fascinating result to the community, which is impressed.

Anyone looking to improve or upgrade their gaming setup can buy a lot of cool hardware and gadgets.

However, especially special hardware like steering wheels often costs a lot of money. A user was not willing to spend much on hardware. Instead, he simply built a suitable steering wheel and pedals for his Xbox using LEGO.

User builds LEGO steering wheel and pedals for Xbox

What exactly did the user do? The gamer grabbed a box of LEGO from his childhood and built a steering wheel and pedals out of LEGO. In a comment, he explains that he only invested 50 euros in the entire result.

For that, the setup is impressive. He shows in a video how he can turn the vehicle on the Xbox with his LEGO steering wheel and increase speed with his pedals.

The complete setup can be viewed in a short video on Reddit, which we are embedding here for you:

Unfortunately, he doesn’t explain in his post how he exactly built his LEGO setup. So there is currently no guide for interested gamers who might want to replicate the setup. If you are impressed and want to build something like this, you will need to dig out your toys from the cellar and get creative.

In another post, he explains that he already has a lot of knowledge about technology and vehicles. He wants to start studying to become a technical specialist for cars in a few weeks. He is also currently working in a car workshop.

The community is impressed by the setup

How do users react? Many users are impressed by the ingenuity and the LEGO setup.

However, some users mock that the person only doesn’t have money for real hardware because he spent all his money on LEGO instead. Because LEGO can become very expensive depending on the model. But the clever inventor replies that he received most of the LEGO as gifts for his birthdays and only bought a little of it himself.

Others have also shown that you can improve your setup with LEGO. For example, a user came up with a particularly crazy trick and enhanced his gaming mouse with LEGO. With this, he created an upgrade that many gamers would consider a nasty hack:

LoL: The worst champ in LoL is getting worse, but people still play him like crazy

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In League of Legends, the blind monk, Lee Sin, has a terrible win rate that keeps falling: He loses more games than any other champ in LoL. Nevertheless, the champion is popular and continues to be played.

How bad is Lee Sin doing? Quite bad:

  • In the Platinum rank and above, his win rate was last at 45.53% – this was at one point the worst win rate in LoL overall. Thus, his already weak win rate has further declined, as the site Dotesports reports.
  • Similarly poor during that time were Pantheon (45.57%), Ryze (45.75%), and Miss Fortune (46.1%).
  • In the jungle position, Lee Sin is by far the weakest champion: his win rate is more than 2% lower than the “next-worst champion,” Viego.

LoL keeps introducing new champions. Riot Games has to strive to discover new game concepts:

Start video
LoL: Trailer shows new champion Nilah – Is so mobile that you can’t escape

Lee Sin: Popularity Top – Performance Flop

What is remarkable about Lee Sin? All other heroes with a win rate below 47% are played relatively rarely:

  • Only about 20,000 matches of Ryze or Pantheon are documented on the stats site u.gg in the Platinum range or above.
  • For Miss Fortune, there are even only about 12,000 matches.
  • However, Lee Sin has been played in 165,319 matches at the Platinum level or above, making him one of the 11 most popular champions in the game. In the jungle, he is the third most popular champion, with only Kayn and Diana being picked more frequently.

We have the phenomenon of many people playing a champion with whom they lose.

More on the topic
No one wanted to play the least popular champ in the history of LoL, even if he won every match
von Schuhmann

Lee Sin has already won world championships, but that was 3 years ago

What is the reason for this? Lee Sin is one of the most recognized jungle champions in LoL in recent years: Korean pro junglers like Tian achieved great success with Lee Sin in 2019 and made him an iconic champion. They demonstrated how excellent Lee Sin can function in the jungle – when real masters play him in a harmonious top team.

He is considered a strong “support jungler” who can initiate and decide teamfights. However, he depends on strong teamwork.

However, Lee Sin has fallen out of favor now, after many changes in the meta due to patches:

Lee Sin is considered a champion for absolute masters

How is Lee Sin discussed? On reddit, Lee Sin is regarded as one of the “most difficult champions to master in League of Legends”: it is said to be mechanically challenging to hit his skill shots, according to a discussion.

Moreover, he is simply not a carry champion: even if one plays outstandingly, one cannot decide a match alone if their ADC fails.

Lee Sin has an extremely high “skill ceiling”: exceptionally strong players can do a lot with him – but consistently achieving good performances with Lee Sin is difficult.

So it appears that Lee Sin is the case of a champion:

  • whom people love to watch professionals dominate with
  • whom they themselves enjoy playing because he embodies a clear “power fantasy” and feels “right”
  • but on average loses more than any other champion in LoL because it is quite tricky to fully master him

Similarly bad as Lee Sin is the poor Ryze in League of Legends:

A mage is currently the absolute worst champion in LoL – why is Ryze so bad?

Black Desert: First player in Europe reaches level 67 after 837 days of grind – Here’s how he did it

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

In the MMORPG Black Desert, there is no maximum level. However, the curve of required experience increases with each new level. The German player Florian aka RisingSun was the first European to reach level 67. We from MeinMMO asked him about his tricks and motivations for leveling up.

How long did it take him to reach level 67? In 2020, we reported that RisingSun was the first player from Europe to reach level 66. Now, just over two years later, he leveled up again as the first European to the next stage:

  • On March 27, 2020, he achieved level 66.
  • On January 11, 2022, he reached the milestone of 50% of the required experience points to level 67.
  • On July 8, 2022, he achieved the level-up.

It is noticeable that the first 50% took significantly longer than the second 50%. This is because there is a new, fast method for leveling up. Additionally, motivation increases as one gets closer to the goal.

You can watch the level-up to level 67 in this clip, as RisingSun is actively streaming on Twitch as PvEnvironment:

The first player to reach level 67 worldwide was, by the way, an American. He managed this back in March 2022.

A mix of active grinding and AFK hitting the dummies

How did RisingSun level up? In an interview with MeinMMO, the player revealed the three methods he relied on. He grinded the most at the Gyfin Rhasia Temple.

This location was revamped on February 9, 2022. The lower sections were changed to grind spots for solo players. Additionally, with the major winter expansion, a new equipment slot was added: the artifacts. Through these, additional EXP buffs can be obtained (via BlackDesertFoundry).

At the Gyfin Rhasia Temple, with all available buffs, one can achieve about 0.05% experience points per hour. Leveling from 66 to 67 there would thus require about 2,000 hours of grinding. Moreover, you need 300 AP and 380 DP to farm there easily.

The two other methods used were:

  • The Red Battlefield (PvP). To be successful here, you need to “snipe” rounds where you join shortly before the lock. This lock occurs 10 minutes before the round ends. This way, with additional quests, one can earn about 0.1% experience per hour.
  • The training dummies. Here you pay silver to then hit the dummies automatically for hours, without having to be at the PC. This brings about 0.008% of experience points per hour.

RisingSun also emphasizes that leveling on the battlefield is rather unpopular in the community. Many who are leveling are not very interested in the outcome of the round and often see no active PvP players.

More about MMORPGs on MeinMMO:

Why does he even put himself through this grind? To this question, RisingSun replied:

I always wonder if there has to be a reason for it. For me, the grind with several goals, that is, experience points and silver, makes more sense than pure grinding for money. The positive feedback from many people additionally motivates and confirms me.

In 2020, he emphasized in our interview that he could also distract himself well from the grind of the crap he went through. We from MeinMMO have experienced this ourselves:

While many players find grinding in MMORPGs annoying, I am really enjoying it right now
von Alexander Leitsch

If people want to grind to high levels, RisingSun definitely recommends the Gyfin Rhasia Temple. This is said to be the third best place to earn money and by far the best place to farm EXP. The level-ups from 64 to 65 and 65 to 66 are said to take only a few weeks.

Anyone who wants to get to level 61 can refer to our level guide for beginners.

In general, however, he recommends playing and enjoying Black Desert and other games in a way that brings the most fun.

Is RisingSun now leveling up to 68? No, at least it is currently not his goal to be the first to reach level 68. However, there is a possibility that we will report again in two years that RisingSun has set a new level record.

What do you think of this special achievement? Could you imagine grinding for hundreds or thousands of hours in one place?

While Black Desert is still a major success, a spin-off of the game is now being closed on Steam:

One of the biggest Twitch streamers about Lost Ark says: “There are no bad classes, you just play poorly”

Mark Sellner Mark Sellner Reading time 3 minutes

The streamer Albert “ATK” Kim is one of the biggest in his field when it comes to Lost Ark. In one of his streams, he talked about the western version and also mentioned that people should complain less and just play better. We at MeinMMO summarize.

What kind of streamer is he? The Korean Twitch streamer Albert “ATK” Kim is one of the largest streamers for Lost Ark. He has been active since the release in 2018 and streams the MMORPG several times a week on his channel.

He averages 2,321 concurrent viewers and currently has 91,000 followers on the platform. He has also been active on YouTube for years, publishing several videos per week for his nearly 50,000 subscribers that focus thematically on Lost Ark.

He often focuses on guides and unusual builds for all classes in Lost Ark. He likes to show that a Paladin can deal damage or that unusual engravings can work better than many think.

In one of his streams, he also addressed the criticism of many western players who claim that there are classes in Lost Ark that are simply too weak.

The latest class in the western Lost Ark is the Arcanist. See her in our video:

Start video
Lost Ark: Arcanist in the Trailer

“There are no weak classes”

What does the streamer say now? During a stream, ATK apparently got fed up with the complaining of western players. He still plays in the Korean version, by the way. He accuses the fans of the western version of complaining too much and thinking too much about which class might be too weak.

Instead, he says that there are absolutely no weak classes and that if you feel a class is too weak, you’re just playing it poorly. This is specifically a problem of western players, according to the streamer.

“Everyone complains a little, but in the western version, this happens continuously. You know, it’s constantly said that practically every class is too weak. And they don’t realize that this weakness of the class actually comes from them simply playing poorly, and not from the class itself. And we have to keep telling them this. “

You can see the excerpt in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6zIpomsdsQ

Community reacts divided but admits mistakes

What do the players say about it? In the comments under the video, a discussion breaks out on the topic, with some players also owning up to their mistakes.

  • NM Geek writes: “People who always play well are very positive about everything. People who play poorly, like me, complain about everything to hide how bad they are. It feels better to complain about other things than about my own inability. I should just be more positive, like you.”
  • DankeyKang sees it divided: “All classes are good, with a decent build, that’s a fact. But pretending that all classes are completely balanced and equally good, I don’t know, that’s really hard.”
  • Brian Reynolds simply left the game: “You can’t blame the class if you can’t unleash its potential. I haven’t found a character that suits me and that I can do that with, so I just decided to leave Lost Ark. And I did.”
  • LazyGuy sees it balanced: “I think you can’t push that onto all players. Some classes are just easier to play than others.”

Of course, there are also some voices saying that he is completely wrong and that the classes are indeed weak. However, there are many who agree with ATK.

More about Lost Ark on MeinMMO:

New classes every 2 months

What about the classes for us? Some people comment that the balance of the classes is based on Korea, and there are simply more classes there than here in the west. However, this may not be the case for much longer, as we receive a new class every two months.

Only with the July update did the Arcanist debut, and already in September we can expect the next new class in our Lost Ark. If AGS, as announced, keeps this rhythm, we can expect 2 more new classes this year.

Since we currently lack 5 classes to catch up with Korea, our Lost Ark should equal the Korean original in no more than two years. By then, the argument would be moot – but whether it will really happen remains to be seen.

What do you think? Do you play a class and feel it’s too weak? Or do you also agree with ATK that it’s always the player’s responsibility, not the class? We look forward to your comments here on MeinMMO.

Pokémon GO: New Smoke Brings 15 Minutes of Rare Spawns – Even the Legendary Galar Birds

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

Pokémon GO has a new item: the “daily adventure incense,” which also comes with a small special research. What makes the new incense special, we will show you here.

What kind of item is this? The “Daily Adventure Incense” works similarly to the regular incense: you can click on it to attract monsters for a certain time. However, the new item has a few peculiarities.

  • You get the adventure incense once a day and can only keep one at a time.
  • The adventure incense lasts only 15 minutes and works only while walking, meaning in motion.
  • With the adventure incense, it is said according to the announcement that you can “possibly meet Pokémon that are otherwise rarely found in the wild.”
  • You cannot activate regular incense when the adventure incense is active (and vice versa).
  • If you have fewer than 30 Poké Balls (or other balls), you will receive 30 additional Poké Balls when you activate the adventure incense.
  • At the end of the 15 minutes, you will receive a small overview showing which monsters you caught during that time.
  • Especially in rural areas, the incense is said to help with catching – that should be a welcome change.
This is what the overview looks like (via Pokémongolive)

When is the item available? The daily adventure incense was introduced and launched on the night of July 26, 2022. It will be rolled out gradually to all trainers in the game over the course of this week – so don’t be surprised if you can’t see it yet.

But if you are among the players, you can already use the daily adventure incense. There is only one requirement: you must complete the associated special research. You can find more information below.

Which monsters spawn with the adventure incense?

Trainers report on spawns: In the Pokémon GO subreddit “TheSilphRoad,” players are already collecting which spawns can appear with the adventure incense (via reddit). The pool of spawns seems to be very, very large and includes pretty much everything, including “ordinary” monsters.

However, there are also special spawns reported by trainers. These include evolutions like Luxray, Gengar, Charizard, or Altaria, but also unusual spawns like Spoink, Swablu, Trubbish, or Rockruff.

Most interesting are the reports that the three new Galar versions of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres can spawn with the adventure incense. They had not been in the game before but are now reportedly being encountered by several players in the wild.

This is the challenge: All three legendary Galar birds apparently have a very low catch rate and at the same time a high flee rate. Accordingly, it can happen quite easily that you encounter the monsters, but you will need a lot of luck to catch them, and in the worst case, they may flee.

It may be worth trying with Razz Berries and Golden Razz Berries and throwing strong curveballs to increase your chances.

What spawns do you encounter with the adventure incense? Let us know in the comments! But to get started, you must complete the special research.
