In this overview, we show you all the raid bosses that you can battle on Saturday.
Current raid bosses on Saturday, July 17th
These bosses are active: In the level 1 raids, you will find Galar Zigzagoon and also Galar Ponyta. Both are wearing their hats for the GO Fest and are therefore visually striking.

This is known: On the second day of GO Fest 2021, that is, July 18th, everything revolves around the raids. All legendary Pokémon that have appeared in the game so far will appear in the level 5 raids. Mysterious Pokémon are excluded. What sounds crazy actually has a system.
There are 4 “theme hours” that run twice a day
Different Pokémon are available in the 5-star raids at each of the theme hours
If you want to catch legendary Pokémon selectively, you can mark the following hours

The developers of Call of Duty: Warzone have introduced a new feature into the game with a secret change: Pre-Match Loadouts. However, this feature also brought along a serious bug, leading to the loadouts being removed the same day.
What kind of ability is this? It concerns “Dead Silence,” one of the best, if not the best field upgrade in Warzone. Dead Silence conceals the noises you make while walking and even sprinting.
Opponents can no longer hear you, making it almost impossible to notice you. This way, you can easily rack up kills or even secure victories.
How did the bug enter the game? The error was introduced through a secret feature called Pre-Match Loadouts. These were implemented without announcement and allowed you to adjust and set loadouts already in the lobby. With loadouts, you can select the best weapons in the game directly in Battle Royale and equip them without having to find them on the ground.
However, the feature led to a series of problems, including players starting a match directly with a loadout (via Eurogamer.net) or experiencing endless Dead Silence (via reddit.com). Thus, Raven Software disabled the feature the same day:

What were the loadouts even good for? The idea behind Pre-Match Loadouts was quite good. You should be able to set which weapons and equipment you want to play with before a round in Battle Royale.
The configured loadout will then be automatically selected when you find a loadout drop in Warzone. This saves you valuable seconds that could secure you a victory in a heated battle.
The developers announced that the feature will return to the game at a later date. However, there is no exact time for it yet.
Campers are annoying, but at least (mostly) honest players. Those often annoyed by cheaters should be especially pleased with a second change that took place behind the scenes – as the developers managed to strike against cheaters:
The wireless mode therefore seems a bit useless for MMO players, and even with good headphones, you should stick to wired mode. If you use other sound sources or connections, then the wireless mode can be used more often.
On PC, the wireless mode only works with third-party programs, and on PS5, it hardly works at all – there is significant latency in transmission. Overall, I could hardly use the wireless mode, and thus, I had no advantages from the higher battery life.
The lack of the LED bar between the triggers could be a problem for some PSVR players. The illuminated area is used to track the position of the controller using the camera.

Conclusion: A good alternative with back paddles if you play on PC and PS4
Who is the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 worth it for? If you’re looking for a high-quality PS4 controller with back paddles and PC support, you should keep the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 on your radar.
Even players with small hands looking for a controller with back paddles will find a good solution here.
The FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 is particularly strong in wired mode. The use on PC, PS4, and PS5 goes smoothly, and since you can easily detach the paddle module, the extra buttons don’t interfere with games that don’t require paddles.
If you’re looking for a “real” wireless controller that works well without a cable, the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 struggles. On PS4, the jack headset does not work, and PC and PS5 are not supported.
Comfortable and high-quality, but not really wireless: the FUSION Pro for PS4.
What are the alternatives? The regular PS4 controller remains a good choice and can now be equipped with a paddle module. The part costs around €30, and together with a controller, you’re looking at around €95. However, the module only adds 2 new buttons.
A similarly high-quality wireless controller can be found with the Razer Raiju Tournament Edition. The controller from Razer offers 4 programmable extra buttons and interchangeable controller parts. Some functions can also be controlled via an app. The Raiju in the Tournament Edition is available for about €100, but the overall range of functions is less than that of the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4.

Another strong competitor is the “SCUF IMPACT Custom Controller” from accessory manufacturer SCUF. In the basic version, you get the controller with all important PS4 features and 4 back paddles for €159.99 (via scufgaming.com). If you want adjustable trigger paths or a transport box included, you quickly end up over €200. However, SCUF controllers are unmatched in customization. If you spend even more, you can get a nearly customized controller with high quality. But at that price, you’ll be looking at €250 or more.

With the FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4, manufacturer PowerA offers an all-round controller for the PS4 that provides you with back paddles and PC support. MeinMMO shows who will benefit from the €130 device.
This is what you get here:
A detailed review of the FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4 – a controller for €130
The controller offers PC support, back paddles, and a stylish transport box, among other features
In practice, handling is particularly enjoyable, but the wireless function has issues
Which controller is it about? The FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 comes from the accessory manufacturer PowerA and is a licensed PS4 controller. The FUSION Pro Wireless offers almost all core features of a normal PS4 controller, but also brings you some extras, including back paddles, interchangeable thumbsticks, PC support, and 3-way triggers.
The controller comes with a custom-made bag.
The FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 is available for €129.99 (RRP), and if you want to inform yourself thoroughly about the device before buying, you are in the right place. MeinMMO tested the premium PS4 controller for 6 weeks and shows in which areas the FUSION Pro Wireless outperforms the original controller, what the extra features are capable of, and what didn’t work so well.

FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4: How did we test?
The test:
Everyday test over 6 weeks with more than 100 hours of gameplay
Wide range of games; including Call of Duty, Stardew Valley, FIFA, SnowRunner, Fall Guys
The test consists of 4 parts. With one click, you can go directly to the corresponding sections:
The tester Maik Schneider: Since I can remember, I have been playing on consoles and grew up with the controller in hand. My gaming passion and love for writing brought me to MeinMMO. I mainly cover the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone as a freelance author.
I have a special relationship with PS4 controllers. Since the launch of the PS4, I have amassed a decent collection of 11 controllers, most of which barely work anymore. Still, I have always remained loyal to the simple and good concept and never tried a costly premium model.
With the FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4, I’m venturing into new territory and comparing the licensed €130 controller with the original and over 7 years of experience with several thousand PS4 controller gaming hours.
What does “licensed controller” mean? Manufacturer PowerA defines a licensed product with 3 characteristics: 1. Quality: The licensing company, in this case Sony, specifies specifications to guarantee a certain quality of the products. 2. Design: Licensed products have access to PlayStation artworks, and thus the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 can use the real PlayStation symbols. 3. Reliability: To ensure compatibility of the licensed products, manufacturer PowerA and the licensing company test the products separately.
All functions at a glance: FUSION Pro Wireless vs. Original PS4
The FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 offers you almost all functions of a normal PS4 controller. From the touchpad, the jack input for your headset, to motion sensors and vibration – the important functions are included.
On top of that, there are a number of extras, but also some functions that the FUSION Pro Wireless lacks compared to the normal PS4 controller:
Extra functions FUSION Pro Wireless:
Robust design in black PlayStation look
Rubberized areas on the back
PC support
Removable paddle module
3 adjustable trigger lengths for L2/R2 triggers
Mouse-like front triggers (L1/R1)
Interchangeable thumbsticks (3 extra sticks included)
Battery life of up to 20 hours
Storage box for all parts
The size of the controller is closer to that of the PS5 controller.
Disadvantages compared to the normal PS4 controller
Headset only works in wired mode
Only the included cable fits properly
LED bar between triggers necessary for some PSVR games
Wireless mode not possible on PS5

In practice – FUSION Pro Wireless shines with extras, but annoys MMO players
Weight, quality, and handling
The buttons, thumbsticks, paddles, and triggers
Bluetooth, compatibility, and PC support
Weight, quality, and handling
What I like: The controller is larger, heavier, and all the buttons feel more precise. The FUSION Pro Wireless is very well made and feels high-quality. The initial qualitative impression was very good, and almost all elements give off a high-quality impression.
Thanks to the rubberized side parts, I have a secure grip, and the matte surface of the top provides even more grip. The controller always fits well in hand. However, the high weight is noticeable when switching from a PS4 controller – there are 210 grams (PS4) against 365 grams (FUSION Pro Wireless with paddles). The weight didn’t bother me, but I was also already familiar with the PS5 controller (278 grams).
It became somewhat uncomfortable with the paddle module. I was used to firing and aiming in a shooter with the front triggers (R1/L1). However, the paddles are not optimally accessible then. The transition took a few fussy gaming hours, but after a while, I got used to the back paddles and the operation felt good – comfortable extra buttons on the backside.
What are back paddles good for? These are buttons on the back of a controller. You can usually assign these extra buttons freely, for example connecting the circle button to a paddle. Circle can then be pressed either with the normal button or with the paddle. This means you no longer have to take your thumb off the right stick and can aim and press the circle at the same time in shooters.
What I don’t like: The modular system with the removable front and paddle module brings some uncertainties to the stable system.
The front part has a good grip and helps prevent slipping. However, it is held by a few small magnets in the controller, and in stressful situations, the front part slipped a few times. The top could be better secured, especially since currently, there are no other front parts for the controller available for purchase.
The paddles on the module are slightly wobbly due to the construction. This detracts from the otherwise high-quality impression.
Additionally, the paddles protrude significantly from the controller and are therefore activated quickly. Even when laying it down carefully, the circle button often wanted to leave the lobby. This, however, makes the back paddles accessible for small hands as well. However, I have to be extremely cautious of the flap for the module connection – leaving the module on is not really an option.
The module works well – but make sure not to lose the flap.
The buttons, thumbsticks, paddles, and triggers
What I like: The buttons triangle and co. sit tighter and thus also feel slightly more premium. In general, the control elements feel more precise. This is especially true for the R1 and L1 triggers, which click like mouse buttons.
This continues with the thumbsticks – upon first contact, I already felt that the stick offers more grip. The sticks can easily be swapped for other thumbsticks – 3 different variants are included with the controller. However, I haven’t seriously used any of them.
I find the easy adjustment of the back paddles strong – with 2 buttons, you can set a paddle to the desired button.
With the 3-way triggers, I can set the distance to the impulse point for R2 and L2. This means bullets fly out of the barrel faster – also the reason why I actually used R1 to fire. A nice extra, which sometimes brings problems in practice.
What I don’t like: Due to the 3-way triggers, I can fire faster, but the triggers are not fully pulled at the shorter distances.
Example Warzone: When I get into a vehicle, I can only give little gas with the short trigger distances as the trigger simulates the gas pedal. I then have to quickly operate the switch to set it to the longest distance. However, the switch is so tight that quickly switching is difficult.
I’m also not entirely satisfied with the back paddles. Although the wings at the back of the device sit well in the hand after some time, the construction causes problems. As all paddles can be removed individually, the module appears “vulnerable”. The materials are quite high quality and robust, but the design is prone to damage. Additionally, under stress, I came under the paddles a few times, and the wings stood up briefly.
On the back, there are switches for PC support and the 3-way triggers.
Bluetooth, compatibility, and PC support
What I like: In wired mode, the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 is a strong all-rounder and can be easily connected to PS4, PS5, and computer. The paddle module also works well all the time.
You should keep in mind that the FUSION Pro is recognized as a PS4 controller by a PS5. If you start a PS5 game, the controller does not work.
On the PS4, wireless mode is also no problem. However, it’s not as easy as with the standard controllers – I had to register the controller in the device settings. But that was easy to do, and the battery lasted about the 20 hours promised by the manufacturer.
What I don’t like: The biggest problem with the FUSION Pro Wireless is the lack of headset support in wireless mode. If I want to play with a jack headset via the controller, I always have to use the cable. At first, I thought my controller was broken – but the manufacturer support actually confirms that a headset only works in wired mode (via powera.com).
If you’re looking for a “real” wireless controller that works well without a cable, the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 struggles. On PS4, the jack headset does not work, and PC and PS5 are not supported.
Comfortable and high-quality, but not really wireless: the FUSION Pro for PS4.
What are the alternatives? The regular PS4 controller remains a good choice and can now be equipped with a paddle module. The part costs around €30, and together with a controller, you’re looking at around €95. However, the module only adds 2 new buttons.

What to expect tomorrow, on the second event day: Tomorrow, on Sunday, July 18, legendary raids will be the focus of the GO Fest 2021. For this reason, there will be no special spawns. However, you will have the opportunity to catch today’s Pokémon again as they will respawn according to Niantic (via pokemongolive.com).
Today, on July 17, the first day of the big GO Fest 2021 rises in Pokémon GO. Throughout the event, several Hyper Bonuses are to be unlocked. However, what is inside is still partially unknown.
What’s happening here? During the current GO Fest 2021, trainers around the world must master global challenges. These bring bonuses for the event itself, as well as the coveted Hyper Bonus.
This bonus ideally consists of three periods in the coming weeks, during which Pokémon GO will be filled with additional rewards. However, these goals must be achieved:
8 challenges for the first bonus (Time)
16 challenges for the second bonus (Space)
24 challenges for the third bonus (???)
The descriptions of the Hyper Bonuses have been relatively open so far. Trainers expect a return of Dialga and Palkia for the first bonuses, while the discussion about the ??? bonus is still open.
Now, the first rewards for the Hyper Bonus are known.
Hyper Bonus “Time” with Shiny Koknodon and Shilterus – Already achieved
This is coming with the Hyper Bonus Time: The first Hyper Bonus is expected to bring Pokémon from various eras. For example, from the past, present, and future. Accordingly, the first Pokémon are also now known.
Via Twitter, the Pokémon GO channel showed:
Shiny Koknodon is set to appear in the game for the first time
Shiny Schilterus as well
Additionally, Porygon will spawn

Today, on July 16, 2021, the Futties begin in FIFA 21. This event is full of strong cards – and makes a change to the Ultimate Team store.
When do the Futties start? The Futties start on Friday, July 16, 2021, at 7:00 PM. This event is known from previous FIFA editions, where it took place multiple times in the summer.
What do the Futties bring? Among other things, players can choose certain cards throughout the event, which then receive improved values. Also in FIFA 21, such a feature is back: A player choice between Carvajal and Manolas appeared, which can also be equipped with changed positions.
In addition, there is a colorful mix of previous special cards during the Futties in the packs. Among other things, the following cards are included. Overall, however, significantly more cards are contained in the “Best of”.
The first Best of Team
Furthermore, there are supposed to be special SBCs based on certain favorites from the past months.
Gifts for players: Depending on how much you have played FIFA 21, you will receive gifts.
Between 10 and 70 days in FUT, there’s a Jumbo Premium Gold Pack
71 – 160 days bring a Prime Gold Player Pack
161 – 235 days bring a Rare Mega Pack
Over 236 days there is an Ultimate Pack
Changes in the store and packs for the Futties event
This is changing in the store: In the Pitch Notes, EA Sports explained an overhaul of the store in Ultimate Team. In this context, the preview packs play a role.
These preview packs were actually only announced for the recently completed “Festival of FUTBall” and players suspected that they would disappear afterward. However, that is not the case for now.
This is what the mixed store should look like
This is changing with the packs: From the start of the Futties, both “normal” packs and preview packs will be available in the store. Therefore, it may happen that both preview packs and normal packs of the same pack type are available at the same time.
Why are these packs exciting? The preview packs allow players to see beforehand what is inside them. One can decide after the insight whether to really buy the pack. If there is no useful card inside, one can put the pack back and open another at a later time.
That they will now stay for a longer period is interesting. Because with that, they are no longer a completely event-bound feature for the Festival of FUTBall, but a feature that could appear again.
Such a plan has not yet been announced, and it is unclear whether preview packs will play a role in the store in the future. We will keep you updated on this at MeinMMO.
According to a survey on MeinMMO, you are really excited about Lost Ark, and many are even willing to spend money on the Free2Play MMORPG.
What is it about? In recent weeks, we have launched a survey online and asked you whether you will play the beta of Lost Ark. Although we knew that Lost Ark is highly anticipated here, the results surprised us as well.
About a month after the closed alpha of Lost Ark, many players are still excited about the MMORPG hit and the beta of the game. It is supposed to be released in the fall, and a beta was initially leaked for July, although time is running short. You can already sign up for this beta and even secure a spot in it.
Here’s how you voted: The survey started on June 29, and as of now (July 16, 2021, 3:25 PM), a total of 1,621 of you have voted. The voting was one-time only, so each person was allowed to cast only one vote, and you provided us with an exciting result. We asked: Will you participate in the Lost Ark beta?
Yes, I have a Founder Pack: 47.26 %
Yes, I signed up: 35.54 %
I don’t know yet: 11.90 %
No, I am not interested: 5.30 %
The survey clearly shows that the majority, over 80 % of you, definitely want to participate in the beta. Almost half of you, 47.26 %, have even purchased the Founder Pack.
What is the Founder Pack? Currently, you can buy three different pre-order packages, called Founder Packs, which offer some advantages at launch. The Founder Packs are available for €24.99, €49.99, and €99.99 and provide additional content accordingly.
35.54 % of our users are interested in the game but do not want to spend any money on the Free2Play MMORPG yet. You can sign up for the beta at any time, but access is not guaranteed.
11.90 % of you are still somewhat skeptical about the game from Korea. You voted and told us that you are unsure whether you want to participate in the beta. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you lack interest in the game. Some are concerned that Amazon will delete everything after the beta anyway. Additionally, the game has already been playable through alternative means.
Only 5.30 % of you have no interest in the Lost Ark beta at all. This can have similar reasons. Some users have experienced the alpha and have seen what they need to see before the release.
This is what you say: The mood of the survey is also reflected in the comments. Especially the reasons why you do not want to play the beta I found very interesting.
Our reader Ben writes: ‘I’m so excited, can’t wait for it to start!’
Reader Leyaa writes: ‘I’m still torn about whether I should participate in the beta. I don’t like it when all my progress is later wiped.’
User test adds: ‘I don’t know if I will play the beta extensively. I have played a lot on the RU server. There’s going to be a wipe anyway, so I will […] play the classes I didn’t play on RU.’
However, not only the survey results but also the number of participants in the survey show one thing: You are really excited about Lost Ark and can hardly wait for it to finally begin in the fall.
What do you think of the survey? Which Founder Pack have you bought, if you bought one? And what do you want to do in the beta?
Xur is visiting Destiny 2 today, July 16. Is there a God-Roll at the merchant or exactly the Exotic that you are still missing in your collection? All about Xur’s location and the current Trials here on MeinMMO.
What’s happening in Destiny 2? This week, the Guardians are hunting and leveling the special event armors. Some of the Solstice tasks are quite challenging this year. Then a leak about the new element “Vapour” caused a stir. The new damage type is expected to come with the Witch Queen expansion and reminds of 2 Exotics that we can already play.
Reliable armors, even of Exotic quality, are provided by Xur. Let’s take a look together at the inventory of the Destiny veteran that has been kicking off the weekend for years.
All info about Xur on July 16, 2021 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur arrive? Xur starts the weekend on Friday at 7:00 PM. The merchant appears on a planet of his choice and sells exotic goods. You can find Xur until the next Weekly Reset on July 20, before he retreats until the next weekend.
What does Xur have to offer? Xur brings you exotic weapons and armors for all characters. The items are random with every visit. MeinMMO always takes a look at his inventory and provides the essential data so you won’t miss any must-buy.
Where is Xur? This is his location this weekend
Xur’s position: You can find the merchant in the Tower. Look for Xur at the back of the Hangar on the stairs.
Xur’s current position in the Tower
Xur’s inventory from July 16 to July 20 – All Exotics at a glance
Weapon: Sunshot – Hand cannon for 29 Legendary Shards
Which map is active? Even during the Solstice, the Trials of Osiris lure you into the Crucible. Here, you can even complete some of the harder tasks for the Solstice armor. This time the map is Pacifica:
Remember: Be sure to get the endgame bounty from Saint-14 in the Tower. Even if you just lose, you will still receive loot for participating (or “dying”) for this week’s 3 wins. We will tell you which weapon or armor those are throughout the evening.
3 wins and endgame bounty: Igneous Hammer (Hand cannon)
5 wins: Leg armor from the Trials set
7 wins: Solas Narbe (Sword)
Curse of Exile in the Master version (Fusion rifle)
When are the Trials? Today, on July 16, the Trials start at 7:00 PM. Together with Xur, the PvP mode will disappear until the next Weekly Reset on Tuesday, July 20. Don’t forget to exchange all earned tokens with Saint.

The 19-year-old Pole Kacper “Inspired” Skoma is currently considered one of the best junglers in Europe in League of Legends. In an interview, he warns against playing solo queue in Europe if one wants to become a LoL pro. You don’t learn anything good there, but only get used to bad behavior patterns.
This is Inspired:
The 19-year-old Inspired has been the jungler for the LoL team Rogue since May 2019. They have been regarded as the fresh rising team in the LEC of League of Legends in recent years and have performed outstandingly well in the last 3 split-seasons.
Inspired is an important part of this team. He is known and feared for his play with champs like Kha’Zix and Lee Sin.
In an interview, he now reveals how he stays so good: He hardly plays solo queue in Europe, but watches videos from the Asian pro leagues for four to five hours every day, especially from the Chinese league LPL.
Everyone wants you to gank their lane and is super toxic
Why does Inspired warn against solo queue? In an interview with Hotspawn, Inspired explains why he hardly plays solo queue (via hotspawn):
„I feel that as a jungler, it’s pretty bad to play solo queue. You just learn the wrong stuff.”
Inspired, pro jungler in LoL
He then explains that the game in solo queue is very different from competitive League of Legends:
In solo queue, you are forced to gank as much as possible. Everyone is constantly toxic and pings the jungler to request a gank on every lane.
This would affect the junglers and they would develop bad traits.
As a jungler, you should rather play other roles to keep your mechanics fresh.
A “gank” is when a player (usually the jungler) comes to a teammate’s lane and unexpectedly kills the opponent in a surprise attack. This gives the teammate in the lane an advantage – but the ganker takes the risk of dying or falling behind.
In general, the rule in solo queue is: “If I lose my lane, it’s not my fault, but the jungler’s who didn’t help me enough.”.
4-5 hours of videos a day, 5 hours of practice games with the team – hardly any solo queue
How does Inspired improve? He says he watches a lot of videos from the Korean league LCK and the Chinese league LPL.
Especially the teams in the LPL are extremely strong, and one can learn a lot from the Chinese players, including which champions they play. To improve, you need to watch the best players in the world. From them, you can learn more than if you engage in solo queue and other nonsense.
He watches these videos for four to five hours every day and practices in scrimmages with the team for another five hours.
The jungler as a scapegoat for the mistakes of teammates
Do others agree with this? Yes, they do. One of the other strong junglers in Europe, the Spaniard Javier “Elyoya” Batalla (Mad Lions), explains the problem from his perspective (via dotesports):
“I agree with Inspired. When you play solo queue, it’s good for mechanics, but you don’t learn much about the jungler, because your top laner does not respect the opposing jungler’s gank at minute 3. That’s the most obvious gank in the whole game, which he does not respect, and from then on the match becomes unfair. Suddenly, you are forced into 2vs2 fights as a jungler that you’re likely to lose.”
Elyoya
Elyoya apparently sees the problem in that teammates expect their jungler to make up for the mistakes they make, as they play much more risky in solo queue than what is customary in pro LoL.
When you don’t see the gank coming and go down, you scream for help from your jungler.
What’s behind this: What Inspired says is interesting because many fans expect the pros to play as much solo queue as possible. Those who don’t are somehow considered lazy.
But as Inspired suggests, playing the jungler is primarily tactical. It is important that he serves the team and plays strategically. In solo queue, such considerations are foreign to the laners.
The Taiwanese Karsa is currently regarded as one of the best junglers in the world. He plays for Top Esports.
In pro LoL, the current meta has revealed the jungler as the dominant role: It is important that he levels up, gains gold and items to dominate the endgame. If you get used to playing everywhere as the firefighter and follow no plan, but just react, this is evidently the opposite of how a pro jungler wants to act.
The Twitch streamer Tyler1 is actually a bot laner. However, he found that jungler is actually the easiest role in LoL, but is played by too many idiots. He then wanted to prove to everyone that he has what it takes to be a world-class jungler:
Last week, there was a lot going on in various MMORPGs. We summarize the news for you in the latest episode of our podcast.
These are our topics: News related to MMORPGs has significantly increased in recent months, and it seems there is no end in sight, whether good or bad. In EVE Online, the lowest player numbers in the last 15 years were recorded last week.
In World of Warcraft, there was more trouble. The latest cinematic featuring Sylvanas from Patch 9.1 was received poorly by many players. With the entrance of the big streamer Asmongold into FFXIV, a large wave of WoW players migrating to the MMORPG from Square Enix is on the horizon. It is a sort of safe harbor for them.
There was also trouble in LoL, where players were upset about a sexy skin for an existing champion, despite there already being more than enough male champions with six-packs. Sony has reinstated Cyberpunk 2077 in the PS Store after its poor launch, and in China, kids are no longer allowed to play at night thanks to Tencent.
Besides the news, we also provide our expert opinions on the respective topics in the podcast, and you can share your own thoughts in the comments. Discuss with us!
This is important for you: At the beginning of July, the MeinMMO podcast was moved to the new platform Julep. Therefore, you now need to use the new podcast feed from Julep for your apps. The old feed will no longer be updated after the end of July.
If you follow us on a platform like iTunes or Spotify, then you don’t have to do anything. The platforms will automatically switch to the new feed. It may take some time, so please forgive us if the episodes appear a bit later.

AMD’s DLSS alternative is getting support from 2 popular game engines. This means that many players are likely to soon benefit from the technology. MeinMMO explains what AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution is all about.
Which player would decline if they were offered significantly more FPS at the same performance? Probably very few, as high FPS are, especially for many fast-paced games such as competitive games, an important requirement.
Nvidia’s DLSS technology (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) promise exactly that, namely significantly better FPS at the same performance. And many players are excited to get significantly more FPS in their games.
With a beta update for the Unity engine and a patch for the Unreal engine, the development and dissemination of AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution is progressing rapidly (via pcgamer.com).
AMD’s FidelityFX offers you more FPS in games at the same performance
What is DLSS and FidelityFX Super Resolution, anyway? With Nvidia DLSS, the game is internally calculated at a lower resolution and upscaled to a higher resolution, such as 4K, using an AI algorithm to increase FPS.
AMD has introduced an alternative with FidelityFX Super Resolution that also aims to provide a scaling technique. However, AMD’s technology is still in its infancy compared to Nvidia’s DLSS.
Thanks to FSR, the framerate can significantly increase depending on the game and resolution.
What is special about AMD? AMD relies on open-source technology and works with both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards.
Nvidia’s DLSS technology only works on RTX graphics cards, as DLSS requires specific computation cores known as Tensor cores on the graphics card.
How well does AMD’s technology work? So far, the new technology has been quite convincing. Especially the image quality suffers due to the so-called upscaling of textures. As a result, higher resolution textures, in particular, can appear slightly blurred.
Gamers Nexus has tested FSR thoroughly and is quite impressed. Although AMD’s FSR does not offer such a significant increase in framerate as Nvidia’s DLSS, the technology works with almost every modern graphics card.

Why is the technology so important? To be a seriously strong competitor for Nvidia in the graphics card market, AMD also needs a strong DLSS alternative. Nvidia currently has the upper hand in this regard and is a strong argument for purchasing an RTX graphics card. However, AMD could have the advantage that the technology could theoretically support any newer graphics card.

In CoD Cold War the battle against zombies rages in the new update Mauer der Toten in Berlin. But you don’t have to fight alone if you manage to assemble the helpful killer-bot Klaus. We explain here in a guide where to find his hands and the other parts of Klaus in the Mauer der Toten.
Who is Klaus and why should you have one? Those who know the zombie mode of Cold War may have already seen Klaus as an Easter egg on various maps. The harmless crash dummy was just hanging around in some corners, gathering dust.
But in the major zombies update “Mauer der Toten”, you can bring Klaus to life as a killer-bot. He will help you in battle, happily mowing down zombies and even reviving you when you go down. Ideal if you are out alone. In addition, Klaus is needed to unlock certain Easter eggs in the Mauer der Toten.
How to find the hands and all parts of Klaus in the Mauer der Toten
What parts do you need? You need three items to activate Klaus:
Microwave bowl
Battery
Mechanical hands
You need to use the items on Klaus. You will find him chained to a chair in the basement of the safe house. Where you can find these things in the Mauer der Toten will be explained in the following paragraphs or in the embedded video.

Here’s where to find the microwave bowl: This item is found in the trash piles on the map. You will have to rummage through the pile until you find the thing. You have particularly good chances in the trash in the Death Strip region and around the watchtowers.
Here’s where to find the battery: To get the battery, you need to survive until round 10. Then the feared Krasny soldiers will appear. They drop the needed batteries as well.
Here’s where to find the mechanical hands: The final parts of Klaus are his hands. Without them, he can’t operate any weapons. However, the hands are tricky to obtain. First, you need to select the ammo-perk “Brain Rot”. This allows you to briefly turn zombies to your side and make them allies.
This is essential at a certain point because there is a locked door in room 305 of the hotel. You can’t open it yourself, but if you turn one of the zombies lounging around here with Brain Rot, they will smash the barrier and you can enter the locked room.
There you will find an unfortunate dead agent who was probably strangled by Klaus. At least his mechanical hands are still tightly around the neck of the corpse. Take the robo-flippers with you and attach them to Klaus. Voilà, your very own personal killer-bot!
Member of the Bundestag and professional youth Philipp Amthor draws attention to himself with a post on Instagram. He holds a controller in such a poor and faked manner that it brings him much mockery and ridicule, but also the attention of gaming influencer HandofBlood.
This is Philipp Amthor: The 28-year-old Amthor joined the CDU at 16. Since 2017, he has been a member of the German Bundestag. Although not the youngest member of the Bundestag, he is the youngest to win a constituency.
In the years that followed, he earned a reputation as the “shooting star” of the CDU. Due to his bold demeanor, Amthor quickly came into the public eye and became a target for satire. Memes formed around Amthor: some referred to him as the “Harry Potter of the CDU” or “Fipsi”.
His otherwise steep career stumbled in 2019 when he was embroiled in an awkward lobbying affair. Consequently, Amthor withdrew his candidacy for the state chairmanship of the CDU in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern but entered the federal elections of 2021 as the top candidate of the state association.
Memes about Amthor often revolve around his conservative “law and order” image.

This is the new clip: In a clip from his Instagram account, the 28-year-old politician holds a controller and wildly presses some buttons. It is evident that Amthor
a) is not really playing.
b) probably holds a controller for the first time in his life.
c) apparently has never seen anyone else handle a controller.
Then he pauses, reflects briefly, and says: “So, enough of this nonsense.”
This phrase has already been used by Amthor several times, and it is supposed to become his trademark.

What’s behind the clip? The Young Union is planning a “gaming event” on July 21. Amthor is expected to play Fall Guys starting at 7 PM. The event will be live-streamed on Twitch.
On its own website, the youth organization of the CDU is looking for people who want to compete against Amthor (via jugaming.gg).
He promises to “destroy the nerds while gaming” and to “put an end to nonsense.”

This is how it’s discussed: One of the biggest German gaming influencers, HandofBlood, makes fun of the clip. He mentions the “Gamecube” controller that Amthor is holding, and the glasses.
Overall, there is much mockery over the strange finger movements that Amthor makes with the controller.
For many, it is clear that he is only pretending to game: “You can clearly see that he apparently has a controller for the first time in hand. You just can’t take that seriously.”
Others pity Amthor for lacking gaming experience: “I find the mockery here inappropriate. Philipp had friends in his childhood! They just were more interested in legal gray areas with tax loopholes.”
Another Twitter user adds: “That moment when you, as a politician, want to reach a new audience with sympathy, but are as far removed from the subject as the Earth is from the Sun.”
But one also says: “The bad thing about it, I only just realize now. I’m 99% sure he planned it that way. He wanted it to become a meme. Otherwise, no one would have cared here.”
Amthor uses “cringe” as a stylistic device
What’s behind it: The clip seems to have been created with a wink. Amthor is apparently aware of his image as the “oldest twenty-year-old in the world”.
Thus, a meme about him circulates: He is the first person to simultaneously receive child benefits and a pension. Amthor is also often compared to Benjamin Button, who ages backward.
Amthor is here apparently pretending to be a gamer and knows the “gamer language,” even though no one believes him. He is playing here – as in his reaction to the “Rezo video” – obviously with his image. He wants it to be clearly perceived as awkwardly trying hard to the point of being funny.
Handofblood is one of the largest German content creators. The largest German streamers on Twitch are introduced here. One can safely assume that Amthor will also make it onto this list in a few years:
The new MMORPG Elyon has not only announced a second closed beta but also a release date in autumn 2021. Additionally, the second beta is expected to offer more content than the first one. Whether the second round in Elyon is worth it, we at MeinMMO have examined.
What was announced? Developer Bluehole has announced a release window and a second closed beta phase for the upcoming MMORPG Elyon. Elyon is set to be released in autumn 2021 and shares this period with another highly anticipated MMORPG, namely Lost Ark. However, a precise date has not yet been established.
Moreover, a second closed beta has been announced, for which you can sign up from July 26 to August 11. The exact start of the beta will be announced following this period. The closed beta will last for five days and allow more players than the first beta.
What new content is there? The developers will provide us with a new version in the second closed beta, which is supposed to be closer to the Korean version. So you won’t be playing the same content as in the first beta phase. The new content includes:
How can you participate? You can sign up for the second closed beta directly on the Elyon website (via Elyon.Playkakaogames.com) or also through the Steam page of Elyon (via Steam). The possibility to do so will be enabled on July 26. You will then be notified via email whether you are allowed to participate in the beta.
Starting July 26, the game will also be available for pre-order. However, it is not yet known whether this will guarantee you a spot in the beta.
Why is the second round worth it? Due to the many new contents and a much more advanced version of the game, the excursion into the second beta is worthwhile even if you have already played the first one.
Since more players will be allowed, your chances of getting a spot are correspondingly increased, but there is no bonus for members of the first beta. For everyone interested in Elyon who could not participate in the first beta, the second beta is an optimal second chance to get a glimpse of the new MMORPG.
What do you think? Did you play the first beta and are you signing up for the second one? Are you excited about Elyon? Let us know in the comments!
The MMORPG Black Desert is finally getting a feature after five years that has long been standard in other representatives of the genre: a co-op dungeon. However, there is a catch.
What kind of dungeon is it?Atoraxion, the “last fortress” is a co-op dungeon in Black Desert. Players must solve puzzles and engage in battles together here. The dungeon is divided into four areas: Desert, Ocean Depths, Canyon, and Forest.
The first area is the Desert, with the subsequent themes becoming progressively harder. Each biome has its own challenges and battles.
Black Desert advertises that the dungeon is designed for five players – but that is only partly true.
How does Atoraxion work? The area is also integrated into the open world, like dungeons in the MMORPG so far. In most areas, you can encounter other players and explore together with them and defeat existing enemies. It serves as a “normal grind spot.” The official website states:
“While Atoraxion is a co-op dungeon, the areas outside the group-exclusive boss zones are an open combat field, similar to monster zones, where you can encounter other adventurers” (via playblackdesert.com).
Only the final boss of the area is instanced and can only be entered by your group of five players. Here you fight without randomly appearing other players, just like you know it from dungeons in other MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or ESO.

When can I play the dungeon? On Wednesday, July 21, 2021, Atoraxion will open its doors on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. All players will have access to the dungeon at normal difficulty, while players on the Elvia server will have a higher difficulty level available.
However, you must fulfill some requirements for entry:
reach level 57
complete the main quest “Black Spirit”
gain knowledge about the “Seal of the Black Sun” in the Mediah quest line
complete the quest lines for “Awakening” and “Succession” for your class
As a preparation, there is actually an event until July 31 with voucher codes for various content. You can find the codes and rewards on the official Black Desert website (via playblackdesert.com).
How it has been so far: Black Desert previously had no instanced areas for co-op gameplay, as you would know from other MMORPGs. While there were “dungeons” and “raids”, these were more open-world areas where players could farm together or alone.
Particularly stronger players with strong equipment and good skills often played solo here. Black Desert is often known as a sandbox game and grinder. Atoraxion is only somewhat different here.
If the boss idea of Atoraxion is well received, it could be likely that more content in this form will come or at least MMORPG players will be attracted to play with friends. If the dungeon does not excite you, you can find in our list on MeinMMO the currently best MMORPGs of 2021

In Pokémon GO starts the GO Fest 2021. Here we have summarized all the details about the date of the event and the ticket price. We also report on which Pokémon and bonuses you can look forward to at the big summer event.
What is the GO Fest? Originally, Niantic held this festival once a year at a previously announced location, like in 2019 in Dortmund. However, due to the Corona pandemic, this live event at a fixed location had to be canceled last year.
Instead, there was a global live event – and in 2021, the GO Fest will take place again in this form. You can once again look forward to exciting challenges, great Pokémon, and many bonuses worldwide.
Update on July 16, 2021: The GO Fest is just around the corner! We have updated the article with all current information.
Update on June 25, 2021: We have updated the article with new information about the legendary raids as well as the costumes and the selection of a band. It is now known that on the 2nd event day, July 18, 2021, you can encounter all legendary Pokémon that have been in the game so far in raids. We will also show you the costumed Pokémon that you can put together into a band.
What is the date of the GO Fest 2021?
Like last year, the GO Fest will again be available worldwide. You can play it at any location.
These are the dates:
Saturday, July 17, 2021, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Sunday, July 18, 2021, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Update on July 2, 2021: As Niantic has now announced, there will also be smaller live events in several cities worldwide this year (via pokemongolive.com). These will take place exclusively on July 17, 2021, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM outdoors, following the applicable hygiene measures such as social distancing.
In Germany and Austria, the following cities will participate:
Dresden (Germany)
Essen (Germany)
Hamburg (Germany)
Linz (Austria)
If you want to be part of the live events at the GO Fest 2021, you should be quick, as the spots are limited. Please register in advance via this link through Nianticlabs.
On site, there will be “great photo spots” for the participants. In addition, players will have the opportunity to make new friends or trade Pokémon. No further bonuses are known for the live events so far.
Pokémon GO Fest 2021: Tickets and Prices
How much are the tickets? To fully enjoy the GO Fest 2021, you need an event ticket. You can obtain these in the in-game shop of Pokémon GO. The ticket is available this year at a reduced price of 5.49 euros and includes participation for the entire event weekend.
This price is a big surprise, because last year the ticket was about three times as expensive. The reason for the reduced price for GO Fest 2021 is the five-year anniversary of Pokémon GO. We looked into it for you, for whom the ticket purchase is worthwhile.
How does the GO Fest work? The Pokémon GO Fest spans two days.
You will have the opportunity to use all features of the event between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM each day. The first event day this year is themed “Catching”. The second festival day will focus on “Raids”.
Event Day 1: Saturday, July 17, 2021

Jungle habitat
Desert mountain habitat
Sea shore habitat
Cave habitat
For all ticket holders, there will also be an exciting special research as well as 4 collector challenges and additional bonuses available. In addition, you can choose between a rocker and a star Pikachu. This decision will also determine whether you hear rock or pop music in the background that day.
Event Day 2: Sunday, July 18, 2021
Sunday is dedicated to raids, and there will be many of them on this day. This day will also provide trainers of Pokémon GO the first chance to encounter all legendary Pokémon that have been in the game so far.
As on Saturday, July 17, 2021, the Pokémon in the raids will change hourly. These will be divided into the following thematic raid hours:
The Wind Hour (10:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM)

A super incubator
A incense
30 Ultra Balls
As Google is the main sponsor of the GO Fest this year, this gift is only available to Google users. Unfortunately, Apple users miss out. When you can claim the gift and how it works is still not known. We will report on new information as soon as it becomes available.
Update on July 16, 2021:Further sponsored gifts are received by trainers in-game today via a pink balloon. This includes various items like berries, revives, and potions, but also stardust. What is included in each gift varies from player to player.
As Niantic has already announced, you can expect a variety of interesting Pokémon this year. Since the GO Fest 2021 is themed around music, there will also be corresponding musical monsters. You can choose between a costumed Pikachu as a pop star or a rocker.
Costumed Pokémon: In addition, Pikachu will be supported by costumed bandmates like Galar Ponyta, Galar Zigzagoon, Gardevoir, or Flygon. These will be dressed in a small hat during the event. Read here what the community says about the costumes for GO Fest 2021.
The costumed Galar Ponyta and Galar Zigzagoon can be obtained during raids on those days. Furthermore, as Pokémon GO announced on Twitter, these Pokémon are part of the planned experiences during the GO Fest (via twitter.com). You will be able to assemble your own band from the costumed Pokémon.
Costumed Pokémon for GO Fest band: Rock & Pop Pikachu (top), Galar Zigzagoon & Galar Ponyta (left), Flygon & Gardevoir (right)
Depending on which Pokémon you choose, this decision is likely to influence the further gameplay, such as solving tasks. However, what you can specifically expect when choosing the individual Pokémon is still unknown.
Kapoera, Trapinch, and Flygon will also be found in raids during the event. In addition, you can catch other musical Pokémon such as Whismur, Audino, or Palimpalim in the wild, alongside the costumed Pikachu.
Update on July 16, 2021: As Niantic has now announced, certain costumed Pokémon will appear for all trainers (via pokemongolive.com). You may be lucky enough to encounter a shiny Pikachu with a Meloetta hat. It is also now known which monsters can be found in which raid:
Level 1 raids: Galar Ponyta, Galar Zigzagoon with Meloetta hat, and Flygon (also as shiny)
Level 3 raids: Galar Weezing, Kapoera, and Trapinch
Which Pokémon do you get in which habitat? At the Pokémon GO Fest 2021, Pokémon from 4 different habitats will be available to catch. We have listed which those are below:

New Shinies like Hydreigon and Karadonis at GO Fest 2021
As Niantic announced, new shiny Pokémon will also be released in the game in connection with GO Fest. You may luck to encounter the shiny forms of Flurmel, Audino, Schallquap, or Palimpalim for the first time.
In addition, during the event time, Unown F, Hydreigon, and Karadonis will also spawn for the first time in their shiny variant. However, these will only be attracted by incense from ticket holders. According to Niantic, the chance of a shiny during Pokémon GO Fest, especially on Saturday, is increased (via pokemongolive.com).
Mysterious Pokémon at GO Fest 2021
Will there be a mysterious Pokémon? Niantic has confirmed that you can encounter a mysterious Pokémon at Pokémon GO Fest 2021. This will be a reward for successfully completing the special research. It is the singing Pokémon Meloetta, which was officially confirmed for the GO Fest.
Meloetta in Singing form
Meloetta is a mysterious Pokémon of the Psychic and Normal type. It is one of the monsters that can change its form. It can thus switch from singing form to dance form. This also changes the type from Psychic to Fighting. For Go Fest 2021, it is expected to be available only in singing form.
Update on July 16, 2021: Dataminers have discovered hints of another mysterious Pokémon in the game code just before the start of the GO Fest. This involves information from a special research, which is expected to be found in the game on the second event day.
As Niantic has already communicated on their page, the second event day, Sunday, July 18, 2021, will revolve around raids (via pokemongolive.com). They have announced that all legendary Pokémon in level 5 raids that have been in the game up to now will appear on this day. However, there will be no mysterious Pokémon in raids on that day.
Like the previous day, there will again be specific time windows in which the individual Pokémon can be found. When you can encounter which legendary Pokémon has been summarized for you.
The Wind Hour
The Wind Hour takes place from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM local time and from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM local time. During this time you can encounter the following Pokémon in the raids:
Mewtwo
Ho-Oh
Latias
Latios
Regigigas
Giratina in altered form
Cresselia
Virizion
Thundurus in Therian form
The Lava Hour
Following the Wind Hour, the Lava Hour begins at 11:00 AM and ends at 12:00 PM local time. It will repeat from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM local time. The following Pokémon will be in the raids during these times:

It will be frosty cold and wet in raids from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM local time and from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. During these times, the Frost Hour will take place, where you can defeat the following monsters in the raid:
Articuno
Suicune
Lugia
Regice
Kyogre
Palkia
Kyurem
Selfe, Vesprit, and Tobutz are also available in their usual regions
The Thunder Hour
The conclusion of the thematic raid hours is the Thunder Hour. This takes place between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM local time and again from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM local time. Defeat the following legendary Pokémon in the raid during the Thunder Hour:
Zapdos
Raikou
Registeel
Rayquaza
Dialga
Kobalion
Thundurus in Therian form
Zekrom
Xerneas
This large number of legendary Pokémon in one day offers many trainers the opportunity to catch previously missing Pokémon. This is thus your chance to acquire rarer monsters like Mewtwo. With a bit of luck, you might even encounter some Pokémon in their shiny form.
Update on July 16, 2021: To ensure that GO Fest 2021 is a success for you, you should be adequately prepared. So that nothing goes wrong, we have put together 6 useful tips for preparing that you should definitely consider.

The Chinese software giant Tencent has registered a patent in China for a service that will allow users to effectively bequeath digital possessions to their heirs. This delights MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn, as he can finally pass on his ESO mounts and skins from Apex Legends and Fortnite to his son.
What is this patent about? Tencent, the Chinese giant corporation with the friendly penguin, has recently filed a patent for a service that makes digital possessions inheritable, according to industry expert Daniel Ahmad. It’s basically similar to the digital inheritance system that Apple has already introduced.
It’s about being able to legally transfer the ownership of individual digital possessions from one person to another. So not just by bequeathing entire accounts (which could already be done simply by passing on the username and password), but by specifically passing on individual items to the heirs.
And I think that is also badly needed because I want to know that my most valuable possessions are in good hands after my death!

Digital possessions must be protected after one’s death
That’s why it’s so important to me: I have actually spent a lot of money on digital items. I even go so far as to say that I probably have more digital items than physical ones. Except for the necessary hardware and a few clothes, my immediate personal possessions are now almost entirely digital.
And while it’s relatively easy to distribute my few physical things to my heirs, it’s not that simple with my digital items. Therefore, I am glad that there are currently serious efforts underway that will allow me to bequeath my skins and mounts in Apex Legends, Fortnite, and ESO specifically.
It simply feels good to know that my beloved possessions won’t just be forgotten in data limbo when I depart from this earth. And I might be able to make my son happy someday when he pulls out daddy’s old rare Fortnite skins from Season 1.

In the free-to-play MMORPG Albion Online by the German developer Sandbox Interactive, PvP is a major focus in the endgame. Recently, thousands of players have clashed in one of the largest mass battles yet. The outcome is impressive.
What is it about? In Albion Online, player conflicts between different alliances occur regularly. This is because areas in the game world can be claimed for one’s own team. Other groups can then challenge this claim, leading to battles. This not only offers some in-game advantages but also prestige for the owners, to the extent that there is a real “politics” in the game.
What happened? In the past few days, there has been one of the largest territorial disputes on the continent “Outlands”. This is a pure PvP area and consists solely of “black zones”. In the black zones, there are several individual areas and fortifications that guilds and alliances can claim. Additionally, every player automatically participates in “open-world” PvP here.
The following video provides you with a glimpse of what such a mass battle, also known as ZvZ (Zerg vs. Zerg), can look like:

What makes this battle so special? Large confrontations between rival alliances occur regularly, but in this case, the scale was gigantic in all aspects:
The conflict lasted over 24 hours and consisted of several interconnected skirmishes
A total of 4,856 players participated
The number of players killed stands at 5,538 (some players were killed multiple times after being revived)
110 alliances and 438 guilds were involved
According to reddit user cheezyjaystick, on one side the alliances SQUAD, LAZYi, ARCH and POE fought together, while on the other side the alliances STEVE, SHREK, OOPS, CALL, BCTA and “NO ALLIANCE” allied.
And who won? That is indeed still unclear. The conflict between the numerous guilds and alliances continues, and the mass battle has yet to declare a final victor.
Are you playing Albion Online and have you ever experienced a similarly large “Zerg vs. Zerg” battle? Or would you like to participate in something like that? Albion Online is also available as a mobile version for Android and iOS tablets. If you are interested in other mobile MMORPGs, we have here for you a list of the 9 currently best mobile MMORPG titles.

The famous WoW streamer Asmongold has been adventuring in Final Fantasy XIV for about two weeks now and is generating a lot of buzz in the MMORPG community.
This is what happened: Since July 3, the WoW streamer Asmongold has been playing the MMORPG FFXIV almost daily. For a long time, he refused to touch the game. In the two weeks since his entry, he has already reached level 50 and fought his way through the endgame content of the base game “A Realm Reborn.”
And apparently he is enjoying it, as some peculiarities of FFXIV seem to be rubbing off on him. Right on the 4th day, Asmongold, like many players before him, succumbed to the allure of the popular character Y’shtola. It was notable that Y’shtola is a Miqo’te, a catgirl, which Asmongold had previously reacted to with “What the hell is that shit?” before his entry into FFXIV.

His opinion on mounts in FFXIV changed very quickly as well. Before starting FFXIV, Asmongold watched a video by YouTuber Zepla, in which she presented various mounts of the MMORPG. Some of the mounts received no particularly flowery comments from the streamer, including Xanthos and other elemental horse mounts obtained from the ex-primals battles of “A Realm Reborn.”
After Asmongold himself died to Garuda for about 2 hours and eventually obtained the mount, his opinion on the horse changed very rapidly.

Furthermore, it seems that Asmongold is making an effort to maintain a positive attitude, even when the raid group is collectively biting the dust. Instead of his WoW persona, known for raging and flames, he is trying to approach FFXIV with an open mind and diligently reads the story, even if he struggles with the correct pronunciation of NPC and place names.
His streaming colleague RichWCampbell, who also started with FFXIV, commented in a stream: “The guy [Asmongold] who made videos about ninja looting is now voluntarily foregoing loot! The game has changed him into a positive Andy. It rewired his brain in a millisecond.” (via YouTube).
“One of the most incredible streams I have ever had”
This is what Asmongold says about FFXIV: Besides the jokes and memes that are made about Asmongold both within his own community and among FFXIV players, the streamer seems to have found joy in the new MMORPG.
In a serious video, he spoke about his first impressions of the game. He noted that the truly worst aspect of the game lies in the fact that the FFXIV shop is very confusing and you have to rummage around for a long time to buy the game.

He was also touched by the reception he received from the FFXIV and Square Enix community. Although there were many stream snipers on the first day, blocking his view with large mounts, the situation quickly normalized after the ban of one of the griefers a day later.
Especially the banning of the stream sniper seemed to have surprised and pleased Asmongold. On his Twitter account, he wrote: “It’s incredible how easy it is to solve a problem when the company actually makes an effort.”
Also in the subreddits and on social media, a large part of the reactions to his streams was positive. FFXIV players and fans of Asmongold created memes and even fan art about his streams and had fun with it.

For the future, the streamer has set himself the goal of reaching level 80 in FFXIV and mastering all raid content in the game. This means that he also wants to attempt the ultimate raids Bahamut, Ultima, and Alexander. However, he still has a long way to go through the main story and other contents of FFXIV.
This is how Asmongold’s streams are going: Since his entry into FFXIV, Asmongold has also experienced a significant increase in viewer numbers on Twitch. While the streamer had about 40,000 to 60,000 viewers in June, the numbers skyrocketed from July 3 onwards.
With FFXIV, Asmongold reached his highest viewer numbers
On the first day, over 200,000 people watched him during his entry into FFXIV. Although the number declined sharply in the following days, Asmongold still maintains over 100,000 viewers. Additionally, the streamer gained 8,673 new subscriptions and over the entire duration of his FFXIV streams, over 100,000 new followers (via Twitchtracker.com)
With such high numbers, the streamer obviously did not expect it, as normally FFXIV is far below WoW in terms of viewer counts on Twitch. He expressed his astonishment in a tweet where he thanked everyone.

Accordingly, the pace at which Asmongold is slicing through FFXIV is currently not slowing down. Last week, he completed 3 extreme primals and the first part of the Bahamut raid. He did so at level 50 and with the lowest item level to truly experience the mechanics of the fights.
Further parts of Bahamut are also on the agenda, so we can expect that his FFXIV streams won’t slow down anytime soon.
However, there are certainly fans who wish to see Asmongold return to WoW. They currently seem to be in the minority.
