A new hotfix has removed the cap for Soul Ash in World of Warcraft. However, this doesn’t really help Twinks.
What has been done? Just a few hours ago we reported that Blizzard is making massive changes to the tank classes. But the hotfix has brought another change that has gone live in the game immediately. The cap for Soul Ash has been removed from World of Warcraft – the cap is history.
Previously, players could accumulate a maximum of 8,000 Soul Ash, and any additional ash was lost. This limit has now been removed, so players can collect and hoard Soul Ash beyond that.
What do you need Soul Ash for? Soul Ash serves a single purpose in WoW: Shadowlands. You need it to create or upgrade legendary items. Crafting the best possible legendary item costs around 5,000 Soul Ash, allowing you to save up for about 1.5 legendary items – purely from the ash value.
You earn Soul Ash in Torghast. The higher levels yield more ash, and the rewards from the lower levels come along with it!
Players are confused and dissatisfied: Most players do not react well to the change so far. While many agree that the cap never made much sense from the beginning, the removal doesn’t change anything now. Instead, many wish for some kind of “catch-up” Soul Ash for Twinks. These often have to wait weeks before they can craft a good legendary and effectively play along.
Many wished that excess Soul Ash from the main character could be sent to a Twink – perhaps even with a bit of loss of Soul Ash along the way.
More news about WoW: Shadowlands can be found here:
Who benefits from this? That’s a good question. Currently, it seems that only a few players benefit from this who have already reached the cap. These could be players who are waiting for the drop of a special legendary power that has so far eluded them.
Otherwise, the change may only be interesting for collectors. Players who want to have all legendary items for their class in the long term can save towards this goal. However, since only one legendary item can be equipped at a time, no one is likely to be in a hurry to achieve this goal.
Thus, the only benefit currently seems to be the nice feeling of still getting Soul Ash after the weekly Torghast run, even though you could not accumulate any before.
What do you think about the change? Reasonable and good? Or is it as pointless as the cap beforehand?

In the German community for Pokémon GO, one name is especially well known: Daniel “Spieletrend” Schilling. The Austrian regularly provides his viewers on YouTube with new information and recently spoke in an interview with MeinMMO about the current development of Pokémon GO.
Who is Spieletrend? In the German-speaking area, there is no YouTuber dedicated to Pokémon GO who is anywhere near as big as Spieletrend. Since its release in 2016, the YouTuber has uploaded a video about the AR game almost every day.
Currently, Spieletrend has 359,000 subscribers and has uploaded over 1,600 videos on Pokémon GO. He is considered a voice and expert in the German community and is even a Niantic partner, so he always maintains direct contact with the developers.
We from MeinMMO had a Discord conversation with Daniel Schilling about Pokémon GO. The discussion revolved around the motivation for the game, the current development of Pokémon GO, and his own path on YouTube.
“I have never experienced such a hype before”
MeinMMO: Hello Daniel, first of all, let’s talk about your journey on YouTube. You didn’t originally start with Pokémon GO, but also reported on MMORPGs. Then, in 2016, Pokémon GO was added and at some point, you only showed Pokémon GO on your channel. Why did you make that switch and focus solely on Pokémon GO?
Spieletrend: Exactly, that’s correct. I started YouTube about 10 years ago – completely in the free-to-play world. The concept of MeinMMO was pretty similar to my concept. The free-to-play games, MMOs, and then Pokémon GO came out. It just fit: free-to-play, an app, mobile games were on the rise anyway. I thought I’d give it a try.
In about 6-7 years on YouTube, I grew my subscriber count to 100,000. Then Pokémon GO came, and I have never experienced such hype. You know what happened with Pokémon GO in 2016. And then, on YouTube with the clicks, it was just overwhelming for me.
I didn’t do it for the clicks, but when you compare it: a video on Pokémon GO with 50,000 clicks or a browser game with 2,500 clicks and people think, “Hey, just do Pokémon GO, that’s what we all want to see,” then I’d definitely rather make a video on Pokémon GO.
Additionally, the gaming world changed a bit during that time. There was a period when a new MMO was released every few weeks, and now that’s different. That’s why I stayed with Pokémon GO.

With this video, Spieletrend started his trainer career on YouTube.
MeinMMO: If you summarize everything now, including the hype in 2016, what does Pokémon GO have for you that other games do not?
Spieletrend: Clearly the AR aspect, that is, going outside. I have been self-employed for as long as I can remember, and you have to sit in front of the computer all day, writing articles, playing games. For Pokémon GO, I had to go outside, there was no way around it. That was such a positive boost for my business. It was killing two birds with one stone: I can work but also be outdoors at the same time.
MeinMMO: You are the largest YouTuber for Pokémon GO in the German-speaking area, so you have already achieved a lot. What is in store for you and your channel in the future?
Spieletrend: Yes, that’s a good question that I’ve asked myself often. I am the largest German-speaking channel because there are hardly any competitors. Many stopped after the hype in 2016, but I stayed on the ball.
My goal is to continue informing the community and not to let them down. I want to maintain my connection to the community and not lose it. However, I never have goals concerning numbers. Currently, I often have 60,000 clicks per video, but I would be more than satisfied with 15,000 clicks.
MeinMMO: Let’s look beyond Pokémon GO for a moment. It might not be around forever. Have you thought about what will happen when Pokémon GO is no longer available?
Spieletrend: Yes, quite often. Especially at the end of the year when I reflect on it. I always ask myself whether it can go this well for another year, but so far it has continued every year.
But I also have to take off the rose-colored glasses. Especially in 2020, Niantic showed that if they make a few wrong turns, things can go downhill quickly. Luckily, in my opinion, they managed to get back on track, but I’m aware that it can go downhill completely within a few weeks.
Because of that, I have already set up a few other legs to stand on and would definitely not end up on the street if Pokémon GO were to decline.
MeinMMO: You just mentioned that Niantic made some critical decisions during the pandemic. I can completely agree, I was even bored at times. How did you feel about it?
Spieletrend: I find the pandemic period really interesting. The past year has been a complete rollercoaster for Niantic and Pokémon GO. When Corona was not taken seriously here yet, Niantic, and I must really praise them, reacted extremely quickly. 30 incense for all players for free, increased PokéStop range, and numerous other bonuses. They immediately started programming remote raids.
I was really glad about that because I’m not a virologist and didn’t know how to deal with [the situation]. I have many viewers who see me as a role model. If I continue to go outside now, that’s not necessarily the best thing I can do.
During this time, things became tricky again. Suddenly, the bonuses disappeared, even though we were still in the middle of a pandemic, then there were a few critical events, such as the issue with shiny Kapuno, there were more and more paid passes, for a Pantifrost you had to pay 9 euros, and much more. It was an emotional rollercoaster, and sometimes I had to consider how the journey would continue.
But right now, I think Niantic has gotten back on track again. They have also, extended the lockdown bonuses by half a year. I can understand the criticism, like the mood surrounding the paid events. A few too many events, I have to say, and people don’t really understand them anymore. But at the moment, I’m basically satisfied.
MeinMMO: I still see numerous repetitions happening right now. For example, the Community Days don’t excite me anymore. I just miss useful monsters, instead, I get them from eggs and even on Community Days, there are repetitions. How do you see that?
Spieletrend: I can understand both sides here. Especially recently with Dartiri: The shiny was new, but the attack was useless. Some Pokémon have completely repeated, like Glumanda. Of course, Kapuno or Kaumalat would be candidates for Community Days at some point, but I also have to look at the other side.
I am quite sure that Pokémon GO is intentionally withholding the good things, which is why there are so many repetitions. Because in so many countries, the lockdown is still in place, and you can’t really go outside. A Community Day with Kaumalat will definitely come as soon as the situation calms down and you can enjoy Pokémon GO again to the fullest. I do believe that some people underestimate that who criticize this.
MeinMMO: What motivates you right now to go out and play Pokémon GO daily?
Spieletrend: I have to say that the “GO Beyond” update, which is the level expansion, was a completely new source of motivation for me. Just the fact of XL candies. I know there was also criticism because you only get them from level 40. But the fact that I can push all my Pokémon higher again, but have to put in something new for it motivates me. I was excited about every Pokémon I caught a thousand times in the past. I just wanted to have the XL candies.
With the “GO Beyond” update, a level expansion and the 6th generation were introduced to the game.
MeinMMO: Do you think that the hype surrounding the update will also last for you in the coming months?
Spieletrend: That’s a good point. The hype is slowly dying down when you already have many XL candies. I’ve also already reached level 50, so there’s no newness anymore. But, overall, a new basic motivation remains.
Another factor, where I am rather in the minority: the PvP mode. Every time a new event announcement comes, I think to myself: “Which Pokémon do I need for PvP?” There are also the daily sets that I play. So PvP is an additional motivation I have.
MeinMMO: Let’s stick to the PvP mode. You say that this doesn’t motivate all players. But what is the appeal for you and why should everyone try it?
Spieletrend: When we look at Pokémon in its essence, it’s about that. “I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.” This is measured by earning badges in gyms and fighting against other trainers. It’s about battling.
Of course, in Pokémon GO, you have Team GO Rocket and raids in the gyms for battling. But the aim is to fight and win against all other trainers in the world. That’s exactly what makes the PvP appealing to me, and exactly what players have been waiting for for years.
If you look at Niantic’s approach, it also presents a clear picture. All attacks from the community days are designed for PvP, and many events and updates have the PvP mode in mind. I find it difficult that they are rubbing it in people’s faces a bit, but I do believe that it is Niantic’s ultimate vision to make PvP bigger.
However, I can’t provide anyone who hasn’t played PvP with reasons why they should start. It’s a bit like soccer and basketball. Just because someone likes soccer doesn’t mean they must be a basketball fan. It’s a completely different game within the game. If someone doesn’t like it, then that’s how it is.
This is the PvP mode: This feature was introduced in Pokémon GO in Winter 2018. Since then, you can fight directly against other trainers in Pokémon GO.
There is also a league where you can rise in ranks and compete against increasingly better trainers. However, the league is often controversial as many bugs cause problems in battles.
Niantic’s communication is extremely important
MeinMMO: Lastly, a look at the future of Pokémon GO. What do you wish for from the game, and what do you think could still come?
Spieletrend: That’s an interesting question. I have to admit that I’ve been surprised so often in the past by Pokémon GO that I exclude nothing anymore. For example, I never thought that mega evolutions would come into the game.
If you think about what other large features exist in the Pokémon world that we don’t have in Pokémon GO yet, it’s breeding. That could come and surely provide some long-term motivation. I wouldn’t rule anything out anymore.
There is still so much in the Pokémon world, like thousands of different berries that still don’t exist. Or balls and other items.
If I could wish for one thing: what is extremely important to me is Niantic’s communication. Mistakes happen, even if trainers have spent money on it, but then they must react quickly and communicate: “Hey, the shiny rate was broken in the first hour, and here’s some compensation.”
If Niantic doesn’t communicate and then I’m a bit caught between the community and Niantic, that’s difficult. I prefer it when Niantic communicates clearly when something goes wrong. But they are currently on the right path.
MeinMMO: Communication is definitely a point of contention. Transparency is repeatedly demanded, “How likely is a shiny?” or “What exactly is in the eggs?” Eggs are even compared to loot boxes. Do you wish for something like that as well?
Spieletrend: That’s a topic that has existed since day one in Pokémon GO. Niantic has never stated which Pokémon appear where and with what probability. Various communities have summarized that up to now.
If Niantic would simply upload that somewhere in a wiki, the discovery aspect of Pokémon GO would be lost. On the other hand, items in comparison with loot boxes from other games is a sensitive issue. If they reduce the chances and introduce a shiny while advertising it, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to be a bit more transparent and simply state that it is ultra-rare. So yes, in this regard, there can never be enough transparency.
MeinMMO: Thank you very much for your time and the interview!

Destiny 2 has given Warlocks in Season 13 the “Cloak of Harmonious Combat” as exotic armor. It is now quite strong in both PvE and PvP. If you want your Super fully charged in 30 seconds and deal extra damage with weapons, you should definitely give it a try.
This Exotic is getting attention:Season 13 enriched Destiny 2 with a new exotic chest piece for Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters. In this article, we take a closer look at the Warlock exotic Cloak of Harmonious Combat.
It does pretty much everything you could wish for with its special perk “Absorption Cells”:
The Exotic charges the Super faster
Grants you more firepower
After the last update, it has become a real insider tip in both PvE and PvP
With this, Warlocks no longer have to be ashamed compared to Titans. The latter and their exotic armor Starfall, which turns you into Superman, were the shooting star of Season 13. MeinMMO clarifies how high the extra damage is, how quickly the Super charges, and why there are a few tips to keep in mind?
Do Warlocks have a new best exotic friend?
This is how you quickly get the Super: With the Cloak of Harmonious Combat, you charge your most powerful ability, the Super, significantly faster. This initially worked only in PvE, but was fixed by Update 3.1.1.1. on March 23 and now works in PvP as well.
Every kill you score with a weapon matching your elemental focus automatically gives you some Super energy. This means that if you use the Solar focus and shoot an enemy with a Solar weapon, the Super meter fills up. This applies to primary weapons with elemental damage, special weapons, and even power weapons. You will see the buff “Energy Drain” on the left side of the screen.
The buff lasts for 2 seconds. During this brief time, your Super charges faster. How much depends on your intellect value – a reduction of 2 to 4 seconds per kill. The lower the value, the more you feel the effect. Don’t be fooled by the small number. In PvE, you can stack the buff almost constantly because you get kills quickly. With additional spheres from masterwork weapons, it is possible to use the Super every 30 seconds.
In PvP, the advantage is somewhat smaller, but having the Super before the other team and creating spheres for your own team is a huge advantage. If you want to be really sneaky, use Chaos Reach, play with the Cloak of Harmonious Combat until about 80% of the Super meter, and then switch to the Geomag Stabilizers.
Once your Super is filled, the second ability of the Exotic activates: The matching elemental weapon now deals more damage.
After a kill, weapon damage increases by 20 to 22%
You can extend the strong effect with each kill – think of it like the Rampage perk
In PvE, the extra damage lasts for 6 seconds and extends by another 4 seconds with each kill
In PvP, the effect lasts 3 seconds (2 are displayed, but Destiny often does not count the last second) and extends by about 2 seconds per kill
You therefore have one of the best exotics for the so-called “neutral game”, that is, the everyday situations Guardians have to deal with. This slot is usually occupied by the Ophidian Aspect or Transversive Steps.
However, since the damage buff is not stackable with all other damage buffs, an exotic like Lunafaction Boots is recommended against raid bosses. However, the Cloak of Harmonious Combat can be combined with the new elemental sources that have very similar abilities:
This is what you need to keep in mind: It’s important to always keep in mind that the weapon used and your Guardian’s focus must have the same element. If you enjoy playing the Stasis Warlock, you only have one suitable Stasis weapon available – and that’s not even practical for killing.
For the future, Bungie has confirmed that more Stasis weapons are coming. Until then, you should equip the Cloak of Harmonious Combat with Solar, Void, or Arc focus.
How to get the Cloak of Harmonious Combat in Destiny 2
Search here: You can obtain the new exotic from Season 13 only through the Lost Sectors on “Legendary” or “Grandmaster”. You will find the mentioned sectors rotating daily on Europa, the Cosmodrome, or the Moon. Additionally, it should be noted that you must run the mission solo and the exotic category of the day must be chest piece.
What do you think about the Cloak of Harmonious Combat? Does nothing else save your Warlock in the universe? Which weapons do you recommend for which focus? Let us know in the comments.

League of Legends is getting another champion. Gwen is a puppet that enters battle with sewing thread, needles, and a pair of scissors. Additionally, the developer Riot reveals something about her backstory.
Isolde was a poor seamstress living in the kingdom of Viego. Obsessed with her beauty, Viego went mad after her death and now threatens to destroy the world.
It was Isolde who originally created Gwen “with much love.” But “a tragedy separated the two” and the puppet sank to the ocean floor, where she spent many centuries. The puppet uses the same tools in battle that her creator used for sewing.
On Twitter, some fans speculated that Gwen might possess part of Isolde’s soul and that’s why she has come to life. You can see a teaser trailer for Gwen and her story here:

What can Gwen do? Gwen is an AP Top Lane Skirmisher champion and is said by Riot to be more of a “Tank-Buster” than a “Carry-Killer.”
In the gameplay trailer for Gwen, you can get a glimpse of her ability kit, even though they have not been officially named yet. She seems to use the scissors as a normal attack and uses up to 5 needles as her ranged attack to hit fleeing opponents.
Another ability of hers creates a blue circle around her that follows her everywhere. It seems to be some sort of buff. While it is still unclear what exactly it does, it appears in the video that it would grant Gwen temporary immunity to CC effects.
Additionally, she has a dash ability that gives her more mobility and seems to have a buff that grants her higher movement speed. You can watch the champion trailer for Gwen here:

When is Gwen coming out? There is no official release date for Gwen yet. However, based on past releases, it is estimated that she could come out in mid to late April with patches 11.8 or 11.9.
More precise information about Gwen will follow after patch 11.7 on March 31. Riot promises that her first skin will be “groovy.”
What do you think of Gwen? Is she an interesting champion or completely boring? Please share your opinion in the comments.
In some countries, the subscription costs for World of Warcraft have risen drastically. Now players here are also concerned that the costs will increase.
World of Warcraft is one of the few games that still relies on a subscription model after more than 15 years. Those who want to play must pay for their game time. For some players, the price is also what deters them from WoW. Now WoW is raising subscription costs in several countries.
What has happened? In recent days, there have been some reports about changes to the sales models for game time at Blizzard. Some countries are facing drastic price increases, particularly regarding the subscription for World of Warcraft. So far, there have been significant price hikes in Russia and Brazil:
In Russia, the subscription costs for monthly payments will increase by 18%.
The longest subscription (6 months) will become 30% more expensive in Russia.
In Brazil, the subscription costs for monthly payments will rise by 25%.
The longest subscription (6 months) will become 34% more expensive in Brazil.
At the same time, Blizzard is slightly lowering the costs of additional services, such as character renaming or server transfer.
However, it should be noted: Almost all players have to pay monthly subscription costs; additional services are only of interest to a fraction of the players. Many people will therefore bear a heavier financial burden.
More cash for Blizzard – subscription costs are rising.
Is Germany also affected? So far not. In Germany, the subscription costs remain at €13 per month and are somewhat cheaper for those who commit for several months. Even after 15 years, the costs here have not increased. One can only hope that this will continue to be the case.
In recent weeks, reports related to World of Warcraft and Blizzard have been increasing again, portraying the company in a negative light: Many people were recently laid off at Blizzard while the CEO pockets a hefty bonus. Furthermore, the next Patch 9.1 seems to be a long way off.
All of this currently gives many WoW players a rather bad feeling, overshadowing even announcements like the start of the beta for Burning Crusade.

In an interview, MeinMMO author Tarek Zehrer spoke with the reader Pannakun about the demo of Outriders. He reached the highest achievement level 21 and played for over 100 hours. He revealed what motivates him, what was particularly annoying, and how he generally views Outriders.
This is the occasion: The release of Outriders is not far off with April 1. The demo version has been available since March 25 and is still a big topic for many.
Because the progress made in this demo can be transferred to the main game. Players can test the 4 classes of Outriders and play the first chapter of the story. Overall, you can achieve 10-12 hours of gameplay to get the classes to level 7, complete side quests, and play a major main mission.
However, MeinMMO reader Pannakun has achieved significantly more progress. He has invested nearly 100 hours and reached the highest achievement level 21, and now he even plays more and has over 120 hours. Thus, he has spent about three to four times the gameplay time in the first chapter than was actually planned for the main story.
What motivated him? And what does he think of Outriders after seeing everything from the demo? He reveals this to us in the community interview we conducted in writing via email on March 21.
What are achievements? Achievements, or also accolades, are the in-game achievements of Outriders. These are numerous smaller and larger tasks that players can complete in several stages. The more you complete, the higher your achievement level. With the content available in the demo, level 21 is the highest possible level before the release of the main game.
10 hours for a single achievement
MeinMMO: How many hours did you spend in the demo?
Pannakun: Overall, I spent 123 hours in the demo [Status: March 26, 2021]. I spent the first 10 hours mainly dealing with the story and side missions. Individual achievements took more time than others, with the level 5 health regeneration for the Pyromancer being the most difficult for me.
I had to play other characters out of frustration at times to spare my controller. This achievement surely took more than 10 hours.
Note: The mentioned achievement for the Pyromancer is based on his self-healing. The Pyromancer heals himself by marking enemies with specific skills and then dealing damage to them. This is not always that easy. The 5th level of the achievement requires particularly high health points.
Some achievements eat up quite a bit of time.
MeinMMO: Why did you invest so much time to achieve that?
Pannakun: I have very high hopes for the game. The genre of loot, collecting, leveling, and crazy shooting action is exactly my thing. I need a task that captivates and drives me, and the promise of reward amplifies that. […] Strictly speaking, I have not achieved all the currently possible achievements; I have only reached the highest level so far. […]
An example: 10 million total damage is massive but doable with the right motivation and time. But starting a new character repeatedly to then kill a “monkey” [referring to the beast creatures at the beginning of the prologue], which counts as an animal, 500-3,000 times, or collecting 25,000 Titans (10 per character), seems impossible to me, especially considering the release on April 01.
MeinMMO: Is it your goal to complete all achievements there as well?
Pannakun: I will do everything to be one of the first to achieve all achievements. However, I am fully employed and assume that I will not be able to keep up.
Level 21 is the maximum in the demo.
Tips for achievements and legendary weapons
MeinMMO:Do you have tips for people who are also planning to do this or who don’t have the patience for it?
Pannakun: Try to tackle multiple achievements simultaneously. Several examples: Use one type of weapon and make kills with your class abilities. Revives can be done in pairs.
While you are in cover, your necessary victim will repeatedly die heroically, and you can revive without any problems. If you need class ability kills, use the main quest just before the solar tower. The melee enemies will run after you and are easy prey.
MeinMMO:Have you farmed legendary weapons as well?
Pannakun: Yes, I have, and I am still farming legendary weapons. I wasted the first 20 hours doing that before I set myself the task of achieving the accolades. After that, I started combining the achievements with farming.
My recommendation is not to look for them, but to be surprised when you receive one [of the legendary items]. Otherwise, the frustration level rises to unimaginable heights. At some point, you won’t want to play anymore, and that ruins the joy in the game.
Currently, I have found 5 out of 10 legendary weapons. Just yesterday, I found two. If you want to look for them, then take the side mission “Wobbly Ground.” After you destroy the log barrier, kill the first sniper, run to the captain, greet him with gunfire, take down the second sniper and then let yourself be killed by the trash. […] I tried to meet the requirements of the accolades in all other respects, and it was completely useless for me.
This is one of the weapons Pannakun has already found.
Wouldn’t it have been better to transfer progress “I wouldn’t have invested so much time.”
MeinMMO:What do you particularly like about Outriders?
Pannakun: Outriders already has great potential. The abilities of the individual characters and the crazy weapons with their special abilities have impressed me a lot. Also, armor mods, which can change your playstyle, are in my opinion a clear sign that this game should not be ignored.
I also find it important that the demo progress can be transferred to the full version. Otherwise, I would never have invested so much time.
MeinMMO:What do you not like as much?
Pannakun: A clear flaw, which I hope will be improved, is marking items in the inventory. The respective item must be loaded first before it can be marked for sale/destruction. This takes time with many items.
The interrupting running at a tight radius or small obstacles is annoying. The cover problem has already been mentioned in another article, and I agree with that.
Pannakun: I have several suggestions for the developers. There must be a way to favorite items very soon to prevent accidental destruction. It would be nice to display the respective mod on the item in advance to quickly mark duplicate items for destruction.
Legendary weapons and later also armor parts must not become inflationary as in other loot shooters! They must remain the crown jewel. Do not patch the legendary items or the ability mods! Laboriously farming items that suddenly become worthless drives every player to the brink of frustration!
And most importantly: For the game to be successful, there must be enough endgame content. Raids, PvP, and solo challenges are just a few of my ideas. Only then will the old hands be able to motivate new players to play.
MeinMMO:Which class did you like the most while playing?
Pannakun: I had to play all classes, but I like the Assassin the most. Slowing down time to block enemy projectiles is totally my thing. With him, I can even manage a headshot. The Destroyer is also a lot of fun. What I plan to do with him, I don’t want to reveal yet.
MeinMMO:Will you play Outriders at release?
Pannakun: I will definitely play the game at release. I’ve been waiting eagerly. I’ve already pre-ordered the full version.
We thank Pannakun for his time and the interview. Good luck with the next achievements!
The company Razer is introducing a new product for gamers that fits perfectly into our current times. Project Hazel is a mask specifically designed for gamers and will feature special functionalities.
What kind of mask is this? In January 2021, Razer unveiled a new product that was to become a special mask for gamers. “Project Hazel” was not meant to be a classic mouth-and-nose protection, but rather to present special features that we know from Razer products.
Initially, it was just a concept, and it was uncertain whether it would actually be available. Now Razer confirms that they will go into production and fans will be able to acquire stylish masks in the future. You can see a preview of the mask here. Back then, it was still in the concept phase:

This is what Razer’s CEO says: Razer’s CEO Min-Liang Tan personally commented on the new product. In an interview with Yahoo Finance, he stated:
We believe that [this project] will remain relevant even after vaccinations and everything else is provided. […] We have decided, and I can reveal this to you now, that we will turn the masks into reality and they will be released.
We have realized that even with vaccinations, one still needs to wear masks, because there is still a risk factor. Even if you have received a vaccination, you must be extremely careful. […] There are also many countries where it is unlikely that they will achieve full vaccination coverage in one or even two years. Therefore, one must be very cautious while traveling. […]
CEO of Razer Min-Liang Tan
Therefore, Razer plans to release a mask that is both reusable and meets the company’s standards regarding safety and style.
“The smartest mask in the world” lights up in color
What functions will the mask have? Since we are talking about Razer, RGB lighting is of course a must for the mask. After all, almost all of the company’s products can glow in color. But it should not only look cool, but also fulfill all the functions and requirements expected from a protective mask, and more.
The mask is transparent so that the face can be seen
It has a built-in microphone that guarantees clear sound of the voice
In the dark, the mask automatically activates its lighting function. This function is separate from the RGB.
It has the air filtration of a medical N95 mask. The fans can be detached and filter “at least 95%” of airborne particles
There is also likely to be a function that prevents breath condensation on the mask, which occurs especially at low temperatures.
What is an N95 mask? It is a particle filtering respiratory protective mask. To qualify as N95, a mask must filter at least 95% of airborne particles that are larger than 0.3 µm (micrometers, 10-6 meters). This standard was established by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the USA. The letter N indicates that the mask is not required to be resistant to oily substances to meet the established standard. You can find more about it on Wikipedia.
Razer describes its new product as “the smartest mask in the world.” It comes with a special charging station that charges the mask’s battery while simultaneously killing bacteria and viruses with integrated UV light.

Home office brings a few new problems. MyMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann recently bought a lamp for just under 30 euros that has greatly simplified his daily work.
This was my situation: I enjoy working and gaming on my desktop computer and spend a lot of time at my desk. The same problem always arises: My desk lamp only illuminates the table in a spotty manner.
This is very strenuous for the eyes in the long run, especially if you want to game or finish writing an article in the evening. Your eyes start to hurt and it’s uncomfortable.
My colleague Schuhmann tested a screenbar from BenQ for MyMMO. That gave me the idea: “I want a lamp like that too.” However, I didn’t want to invest 130 euros in a lamp.
This is how I proceeded: It was important to me when choosing that I could mount the lamp directly on the monitor and connect it directly to the PC via USB if needed. I also didn’t want to spend more than 40 – 50 euros on a lamp.
This is the product I chose: After some searching, I decided on the “Anpro E-Reading” for just under 30 euros. In the long term, this has significantly simplified my daily work, and I feel much more relaxed at the end of the day compared to my old lamp.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
In this article, you will learn about my experiences and why I can recommend the lamp from Anpro.
The lamp is mounted directly above the monitor and takes up little space. With luck, the webcam can fit in there too.
The lamp makes everyday life at the desk much more pleasant
These are the advantages: In principle, the lamp is simple to assemble. You just have to pull apart the holder and attach it to the monitor. The mechanism then tightens and sits like a kind of vise on the screen.
Once mounted, the lamp sits firmly and remains straight on the monitor. The connection cable is also long enough, so the USB port doesn’t have to be right next to the screen.
The three color temperatures offered by the lamp are also good:
Warm light
White light
Cool light
Especially the warm light is very pleasant for the eyes and makes gaming or working in the evening less strenuous. The lamp illuminates the table broadly and the brightness can also be increased or decreased. The light is well dosed and does not glare.
Here you will find more interesting articles for the home office on MyMMO:
Compared to the previous spot lighting from my old lamp, this is a significant improvement.
These are the disadvantages: The lamp does not fit every monitor. This cost me a lot of time and effort at first. My 24-inch HP monitor is quite bulbous at the back, making installation more complicated, as the lamp didn’t want to hold at first. On a sloping surface, the vise mechanism has no proper grip.
The installation on the monitor can be quite tight.
I wanted to pack the lamp back up and return it when I noticed a sticky strip on the mount. Thanks to the integrated sticky strip, the lamp finally found its hold. The sticky strips do stabilize the device, but the screen should not be too wide.
The lamp itself is of good quality, but the switch for switching the light on and off feels cheap and not particularly valuable.
Additionally, you should note that the lamp requires space. If you have previously attached a webcam to your screen, you will need to rearrange a bit or place the camera on top of the lamp.
Pro
Easy to assemble
works without complicated setup
multiple color temperatures and brightness levels
decent workmanship
Power via USB
three color temperatures
Contra
does not fit every screen
does not work on all USB ports
cheap on and off switch
Who is the lamp recommended for? If you work a lot at your desk and want to make your daily life easier? Then you should take a look at the screenbar from Anpro. For me, especially warm light and improving everyday life were important, and I definitely got that.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
The lamp offers the essential functions and is easy to install and requires no significant effort. If you are looking for light effects or gaming functions, then you have the wrong expectations for this device.
A screenbar with gaming support would be the “Smart LED” from Yeelight, which you can admire in the following image.
The manufacturer Yeelight presented a gaming lamp at CES 2021. However, it’s not expected to arrive until the end of April 2021.
At CES 2021, some exciting innovations were presented, including a similar lamp for the PC. The Yeelight Smart LED with gaming support looks really cool, but it is not expected to be released until the end of April and costs over 100 euros.

On the next page, you will find a FIFA classic, an extremely fast sprinter, and also a small look towards icons under 200,000 coins.
In FIFA 21 there are so many player cards that sometimes you lose track. Here we will take a look at some of the best cards under 200,000 coins.
What is this list? In this list, you will find some players who are very well suited to help you secure goals or prevent goals in FIFA 21. None of these players cost more than 200,000 coins.
This already represents quite a lot of coins, so these are not players for beginner teams. These are more like reinforcements that should elevate your team to a higher level. To gather the coins, you might try your luck in the Weekend League and convert the FUT Champions rewards through trading into coins.
If you’re looking for players for fewer coins to improve your team, you will find them here:
Here are the players under 200,000 coins. Since FIFA players assemble a wide variety of teams, we have looked at different positions and leagues. So you will not only find the 10 best Premier League players or the 10 best forwards, but rather a colorful mix of strong players.
Note: Please note that the transfer market in FIFA 21 is dynamic and currently quite high – especially for TOTW cards. It is possible that the prices of the listed cards may fluctuate upward or downward in individual cases.
KrépinDiatta (WhatIf)
Cost: approx. 190,000 coins
This is not the first time one of the What-If players has appeared in one of these lists. No wonder: The players from the promo have partly received extremely good cards, and in some cases will become even better through upgrades.
One of these cards belongs to Diatta from the French Ligue 1. The winger is incredibly fast and equipped with very good dribbling and shooting stats . If you equip him with a Marksman style, he will be a deadly attacker. Additionally, he hasn’t even received an upgrade yet, but it looks very promising in that regard. The What-If-Tracker shows that Diatta could even receive an additional two points.
However, the prospect of an upgrade has also driven up Diatta’s price. At one point, the midfielder was at 110,000 coins and has now suddenly risen to 190,000. At one point, he even surpassed the 200,000-coin mark. Here, it is important to monitor the market. It is possible that the price will drop again – but if the upgrade comes, Diatta is likely to settle at this price level.
Timo Werner (TOTW)
Cost: approx. 190,000 coins
Timo Werner has only collected one Inform card so far in FIFA 21, which came fairly early with TOTW 4. His price remained between 250,000 and 300,000 coins for a long time, but is slowly decreasing continuously.
The striker currently impresses with good pace, as well as a very effective finish in front of goal. Especially with the “Finisher” chemistry style, Werner becomes an extremely dangerous attacker who can also exploit tricky situations thanks to 4 stars on his weak foot.
Since Werner’s price is currently falling, it is quite possible that it will become even cheaper.
Lautaro Martinez (TOTW)
Cost: approx. 198,000 coins
In contrast to Werner, Lautaro Martinez has already collected plenty of Inform cards in Serie A. His third TOTW card with a total rating of 88 has now fallen below 200,000 and is therefore within the target range of this list.
The Argentine has everything you need in attack, from pace to dribbling to finishing. Additionally, he has 4 stars on his weak foot and skill moves. The Argentine fits particularly well in Serie A teams, but can also be combined well with other leagues.
If you have a larger budget, you might consider looking at Martinez’s fourth Inform card; those with less can perhaps focus on the second (87).
Theo Hernandez (TOTW)
Cost: approx. 160,000 coins
Let’s briefly stay with the Inform cards in Serie A. Theo Hernandez already has two of those – and the first is now available for just about 160,000 coins. The 83-rated card is stronger than its overall rating might suggest. Thanks to his pace, Hernandez will hardly let any forward outpace him, and the physical and defensive values also fit well. Additionally, they can be improved further with chemistry styles.
Offensively, he is also quite dangerous, as he has a high work rate going forward. However, care must be taken not to create a gap in the defense yourself.
In addition to this TOTW card, Hernandez also has another Inform, as well as a Europa League and a Headliners card. All of these are considerably stronger but also significantly more expensive.
Joshua Kimmich (TOTGS)
Cost: approx. 189,000 coins
Do you need an aggressive midfielder with a lot of stamina to keep your opponents at bay? Do you want a player who can handle the ball and deliver passes? And do you want someone who, in critical situations, can also take a shot at goal?
Then the TOTGS card of Joshua Kimmich is a really strong option. The Bayern player is incredibly versatile and can be found all over the pitch. With his Champions League card, you basically get the whole package for under 200,000 coins. If you want even more upgrades, you need to look at his second Inform or even the TOTY card. However, that one is priced at 1.7 million and thus well outside the budget.
On the next page, you will find a FIFA classic, an extremely fast sprinter, and also a small look towards icons under 200,000 coins.

A hotfix for World of Warcraft will soon make tanks much more stable. They will become sturdier and will not fall over as quickly.
In recent weeks and months, there have been numerous discussions about tanking in WoW: Shadowlands. Many tanks complained that they could hardly withstand anything and were falling too quickly in mythic dungeons. Additionally, a bug with Demon Hunters made these tanks much stronger than intended. Now Blizzard is bringing a hotfix – and significantly buffs all other tanks.
What exactly is being changed? Blizzard grants all tanks, except for Demon Hunters, a bonus to their passive effects. Both the physical damage taken and the magical damage taken will be reduced by 10%.
For Demon Hunters, however, all damage taken will be reduced by 5%. While this sounds like a buff, it comes with a fix that has made Demon Hunters too strong until now. Since this bug will be fixed, it is essentially a nerf for Demon Hunters.
Demon Hunters get ‘a little nerf’ – all others become stronger.
What was the bug like? There was a bug with Demon Hunters that caused them to take significantly less magic damage than intended. A whopping 15% less magic damage applied to Vengeance Demon Hunters, making them the perfect choice for almost any dungeon. Coupled with their high mobility and solid self-healing, in “Mythic+” no tank could keep up with them.
This error will be fixed on March 31; it coincides with the buffs. This means that Demon Hunters will become a little weaker, while all other tanks will take less damage and thus can catch up to their colleagues filled with Fel magic.
While all other tanks benefit from 10% less damage taken, this is different for Demon Hunters. They will take (due to the bug fix) 10% more magical damage but will take 5% less physical damage.
What does this mean? In plain terms, this means that all tanks in dungeons will now become a bit sturdier and will take 10% less damage across the board – with the exception of Demon Hunters. The consequence is that higher key stone dungeons will become easier, tanks will have to kite a bit less, and may tank more “face-to-face.” This, in turn, lightens the load for healers who do not have to pay as much attention to their tanks and can participate a bit more in DPS.

In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S), you meet the Golden Trader. But what does she actually sell and where can you find her?
Who is the Golden Trader? Adhazabi Aba-daro, also known as the “Golden Trader” or simply “the Golden”, is an NPC who works a bit like Xur from Destiny 2.
The Khajiit trader offers different items for you to buy every weekend. Since her inventory changes, you should always be well-informed about what she has on offer. Some of the items are only available for a limited time.
In this video from YouTuber and ESO expert Alex Gaming, the Golden is also introduced to you:

Why is it important to buy the items right away? Some of the items may not appear again for a very long time. It can happen that you have to wait up to a year to be able to buy certain items from the Golden again.
If you miss an item, it could really annoy you.
When does she appear? The Golden Trader sets up her stand on Friday night to Saturday at 1:00 AM and disappears again on Monday at 1:00 PM. During this time, you can shop with her.
Where can you find the Golden? The NPC appears at the following locations in the Cyrodiil area. You must join a PvP campaign. The Golden appears at different locations for members of the individual alliances:
Aldmeri Dominion – Western gate to Elsweyr
Daggerfall Covenant – Northern gate to High Rock
Ebonheart Pact – Southern gate to Morrowind
You can already recognize the Golden from a distance, as a golden glow surrounds the NPC.
What items can you buy? As mentioned, the inventory changes from week to week. On the weekend of March 20 and 21, 2021, for example, the trader sold:
The Ring of Flame Blossom
The Shoulder Pieces of Grothdarr
The Ring of the Outcast
and a few other items
There are always four jewelry items of legendary quality, two of which come from oaths (repeatable quests) and two from specific locations. Also included are two monster sets, which can consist of head or shoulder parts.
Especially exciting is that the Golden also offers items that you can otherwise only obtain from DLCs or certain events.
So it’s worth visiting the Golden Trader in ESO when she appears on the weekend.
Have you ever bought special items from the Golden? Do you always visit her or do you tend to ignore her?
In the survival game Valheim you can “cheat” various advantages using admin commands. For many fans of the genre this is quite normal, while newcomers may be a bit confused by this practice. We now want to know from you: is cheating actually okay?
This is how cheats work in Valheim: The survival game offers the possibility to enter admin commands. These are essentially cheat codes that are entered via the console and then have an effect. For example, you can:
activate debug mode and fly or build for free
spawn resources and enemies directly in front of you
tame animals without having to go through the taming process for a long time
Many players, especially purists, do not like cheats, even if they are “just” harmless admin commands. The fact that cheats are frowned upon has even been noticed by the developers, who changed the command “imacheater” to “devcommands”.
Other players have no problem with it. After all, these commands only work on your own server – unless the operator of another server allows cheats for everyone. This way, even solo players can experience the entire game without having to struggle through the brutal boss fights and fail at them.
What are cheats actually? The word “to cheat” comes from English and means something like “to deceive”. Cheats are therefore tricks that allow you to gain advantages that are not intended by the game.
In video games, cheats or cheat codes (especially in older games) originated from development. They served developers to test certain things in the game without having to earn everything. The codes were often incorporated into the finished game.
Today, cheats are primarily known as external programs, such as in shooters, that spoil the fun for other players in the form of “wallhacks” or “aimbots”. In survival games, however, these developer commands are often still included and serve players to build creatively in their own games or overcome hurdles they cannot manage on their own.
Such things are of course easier with debug mode. And making annoying loot disappear from the ground is also useful – but technically it is a cheat. You can now vote on what you think about this.
The admin commands are not the only way to make Valheim easier. Many players now turn to mods that allow them to change or add certain mechanics or even make the whole game harder. We present you the 9 best mods for Valheim and explain how to install them.
But even without mods and cheats, meaning completely “vanilla”, Valheim is really fun – even for hundreds of hours. You just have to know how to keep yourself occupied. That’s why we asked a veteran player who explained to us how you can still have fun in Valheim after over 267 hours.

How much skill should you owe your teammates in an MMORPG group? Tell us what you expect from your teammates when you go into a dungeon or raid with random people.
Here’s what it’s about: Imagine the following scenario:
You’ve signed up for a dungeon or raid and are thrown into a group with random players. And suddenly, the big dying begins, even though all players in the group are experienced and there are no newcomers. You are making very slow progress, mistakes are being made constantly, and everyone is annoyed.
Then one of the players starts complaining that everyone should learn their classes and not waste the group’s time. One should engage with the game instead of being carried by others.
To which another replies that no one has the right to tell him how to play. It’s his account, and he can do what he wants with it. He has a job, family, friends, and no time to memorize the game.
In the end, everyone is frustrated, and the group falls apart. Anyone who has played an MMORPG for an extended period will probably recognize the situation. But who is actually right here?
MMORPGs are played together with many other people. And they all have their own ideas about how to play.
These are the two viewpoints: The two viewpoints opposing each other here are based on different mindsets represented in the gaming community. Especially in large MMORPGs like WoW or Final Fantasy XIV, which are played by many players, this is where opinions diverge.
One side says:
I have the right to play as I want
It’s just a game; you shouldn’t take it too seriously
I have a “real life” and no time to engage deeply with the game
It doesn’t matter whether you complete content in 10 or 50 minutes, as long as it is completed
The other side says:
I don’t want to carry lazy people in raids and dungeons
If someone wants to clear content, they should work and practice for it
You also have to consider other people’s time and not be a burden
Players who cannot deliver a certain performance in content have no place there
We want to know from you what position you represent in such situations. How much “skill” do you expect from your teammates in multiplayer? Should one be able to play how they want because their own enjoyment is the priority? Or should players engage with the game and not be a burden to others? Let us know in the comments.

In FIFA 21 the FUT Birthday event has started today in Ultimate Team. At MeinMMO you can find out what the event has to offer for FUT’s 12th birthday.
What is FUT Birthday? The FUT Birthday event has been held annually since FIFA 14. It celebrates the birthday of FUT, and there are numerous new special cards, SBCs, and challenges.
When does the event start? The new promo started today, March 26 at 7:00 PM in Ultimate Team.
What the new cards can do: The new FUT Birthday cards focus on stat boosts, especially upgrades to weak foot and skill moves.
Team 1 of the new FUT Birthday cards
These cards are included: With Thiago (92), Vardy (91), and Sané (91), the first FUT Birthday squad has some really strong cards. But the cards of Perisic (90), Lucas Moura (89), and Mendy (88) also have solid stats.
FUT players with Bundesliga teams will especially be excited about the new striker card of Hwang Hee Chan (85), which offers 5 stars for weak foot.
Thiago (92) – 5 star skill moves & 5 star weak foot
Vardy (91) – 4 star skill moves & 5 star weak foot
Sané (91) – 4 star skill moves & 5 star weak foot
Perisic (90) – 5 star skill moves & 5 star weak foot
Lucas Moura (89) – 5 star skill moves & 4 star weak foot
Mendy (88) – 5 star skill moves & 5 star weak foot
Inaki Williams (88) – 5 star skill moves & 4 star weak foot
Mario Hermoso (87) – 5 star skill moves & 3 star weak foot
Sambia (86) – 5 star skill moves & 4 star weak foot
Simon (85) – 4 star skill moves & 5 star weak foot
Hwang Hee Chan (85) – 3 star skill moves & 5 star weak foot
If you are interested in more about FIFA 21, you might also find this appealing:
You can unlock the FUT Birthday Podolski via SBC. He has a strong 90 rating as well as 5 star skill moves and 3 stars for weak foot.
Through the challenges, you can get a FUT Birthday card of Huntelaar into your team. This striker card also has a rating of 90 as well as 3 star skill moves and 5 stars for weak foot.
Additionally, EA has announced that more SBCs will be released in the next two weeks, mainly focusing on strong players from the past. They will then receive either 5-star upgrades to weak foot or skill moves.
The hardworking Vikings in Valheim continually create massive constructions that thrill the community. However, one player has now presented possibly the biggest highlight yet: a monument for Heimdall, the guardian of the Nordic gods – complete with a sword that is certainly 100 meters tall.
This is the monument: Player Di-zzy has built an enormous monument of the Nordic god Heimdall (also Heimdallr) on a mountain. The structure displays the head of the god along with a helmet and a giant sword.
The entire building is accessible and can be reached through a portal from a nearby peak. Di-zzy shows a short tour through the “head” of Heimdall in his video and stands next to the hilt of his sword.
Seeing the size of his character next to it and assuming a Viking is roughly 2 meters tall, the sword from the hilt to the ground should be about 80-100 meters tall.
The post has received over 11,000 upvotes, over 230 comments, and numerous awards on reddit within a day. It is one of the largest posts on the Valheim subreddit. We have embedded the clip here for you:
Many players are amazed by the achievement. Some note that they can hardly manage to build a hut, while players like Di-zzy create such monster constructions. The builder himself is quite humble and thanks the developers for the many possibilities that Valheim offers. In his gallery on imgur, you can find more pictures of the structure.
Heimdall, the Guardian of the Gods in Valheim
Why is the god so important? In Norse mythology, Heimdall is the guardian of the rainbow bridge Bifröst that connects the world of the gods (Asgard) and that of humans (Midgard). He protects and guards the entrance to the home of the Aesir.
One of his most important tasks is to warn the gods when Asgard is under attack. To do this, he blows his Gjallarhorn (no, not the weapon from Destiny) and thus announces the Nordic apocalypse: Ragnarök.
Why do players build such things? The building system in Valheim offers many possibilities to express creativity and build all sorts of things. Players use the system, often together with certain mods, to let their ideas run free.
For many players, the act of building itself is already the greatest incentive. Creating a home or realizing completely crazy ideas is particularly motivating for creative players. It is a pastime, and in the end, something beautiful to look at or show off comes out of it.
Today, on March 26th, the mysterious Xur is back in Destiny 2 again. Where the Exotic trader is hiding this time and which Exotics he is bringing for you, MeinMMO reveals. Read here everything about Xur’s location and inventory this weekend.
What’s happening in Destiny 2? This week, Bungie has made you guinea pigs, because you are supposed to test the new PvP algorithm in the Iron Banner. But it’s not only in this PvP mode that things are heating up in the Crucible: The Trials of Osiris have been able to record an all-time high upon their return – a single weapon is to blame.
In PvE, however, it looks a bit bleak: A new strike has come, but even the biggest Destiny streamer can’t get into the endgame at the moment:
All info about Xur on March 26th, 2021 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
Then Xur appears: As usual, Xur will appear today at 6:00 PM on a random planet. There he will stay until the next Weekly Reset on March 30th and sells interested Guardians his exotic items. Please note that you have to change the clock this weekend, as the reset times will shift back by one hour.
What does Xur have for sale? Is Xur selling strong gear pieces this weekend? And perhaps even a new rare weapon exotic? As always, he has a specific exotic armor for each class and an exotic weapon for everyone.
We will visit Xur and tell you what he is offering this time.
Where is Xur? This is his location this weekend
Xur’s position: This weekend, Xur can be found at the Tower near the Hangar.
Xur’s current position in the Tower

Weapon:Montage – Auto rifle for 29 Legendary Shards
The rise of players into the arena has already begun, with a shadow already looming over the playing field: the omnipotence of the prehistoric shotgun. This new weapon from Season 6 in Fortnite, which deals colossal damage with a sustained rate of fire, is making life difficult for the pros.
Which weapon is meant?The meta for the launch of Fortnite Season 6 is one of the most innovative so far. A whole array of new bows replaces sniper rifles and players have to upgrade their arsenal with bones and metal gears. However, one weapon has quickly come into the spotlight of competition – and criticism – and that is the prehistoric shotgun.
This large drum cannon, which requires no scope, has been identified by most professional players as extremely powerful.
How Fortnite pros react to the weapon: The pros are quick to express their displeasure when a weapon in the game is too powerful, and now they pointed fingers at the prehistoric shotgun. Too high a rate of fire, a lot of damage, and all this without requiring much skill. The new shotgun has even managed to push the epic and legendary pump shotgun to the back pages of Fortnite news: that says something!

It is unlikely that Epic Games will remove this new weapon any time soon, but we can expect a nerf to come soon.
No nerfs in the pre-season
For the first time, Epic Games has implemented a pre-season for the competitive scene in Season 6. This transitional phase lasted a week and served to gather player feedback so that the developers could quickly create hotfixes. Epic Games could be glad that they did not introduce any outliers in this first season meta, except that the prehistoric shotgun, so to speak, slipped through the cracks.
It will still be a few weeks until the Fortnite Champion Series resumes, so a nerf is conceivable by then. But the pros seem to be impatiently waiting for a nerf.

Call of Duty: Warzone is the best battle royale on the market, according to MeinMMO author Maik Schneider. However, the slow content flow is starting to annoy him. The community is also suffering. For Maik, it’s time that Warzone finally delivers more or at least openly says what’s going on.
What’s going on with Warzone? In short: nothing at all. The battle royale shines with stagnation. The last truly big thing was the integration of Cold War with nearly 30 new weapons and the introduction of the small map “Rebirth Island” in December 2020. And even that was poorly received by many players.
Since then, Call of Duty: Warzone has been more about, nerfing overpowered weapons, repairing their broken attachments, and complaining about a zombie invasion that has so far been a major disappointment.
The constant teasers, leaks, and hints are just plain annoying:
Currently, there is nothing from the official side that gives hope for better times, and that’s why I say: Do something! Offer us something! Or at least please tell us what we can look forward to.
Warzone becomes a love-hate relationship – A bad sign
Why is it so intensely frustrating? I have been managing Warzone for MeinMMO since the release and am an enthusiastic soldier of the battle royale. For a long time, no title in the genre could really hold me, even though I desperately wanted to settle into a battle royale. PUBG, Fortnite, Apex – all just short excursions over a few weeks with a few dozen play hours per title.
In Warzone, I have now played almost 800 matches and accumulated just over 200 hours. And for most of those hours, I had a lot of fun. That’s why it bothers me so much that there’s no progress. I would love to binge it again for a weekend, try out new tactics, or do a little nonsense.
But the battle royale does not provide an inviting foundation for that. Much of it is still the same as it was at release. And, as much as I enjoy the game, it has worn thin. Like an old controller that still kind of works but you don’t really want to use anymore. Sometimes, though, it’s really good to have it around – a classic love-hate relationship. A recent meme on reddit describes the situation very aptly:

As a sour cherry on top, there are the cheaters. The problems here are not quite as bad as on servers in other regions, but even here, hackers, cheaters, and exploiters are annoying side effects of the free-to-play Warzone. And here too, the developers come to us with their little “teasers” about anti-cheat updates, promising us something without saying exactly what is happening. Does it have to be like this?

A less elaborate way would be better communication. Even the release of Warzone was mysterious – the first trailer for the battle royale came out only a week before the launch. Prior to that, only leaks and uncertainty. And this has continued right up to today:
No clear announcements about new content
If there’s information, it’s cryptic and barely decipherable
Updates constantly secretly change weapons
No concrete statements about the fight against cheaters
You don’t have to serve the whole feast right away. But the current tidbit strategy is slowly making me starve as a player and fan. On top of that, constant changes to the weapons in secret. After an update, it’s hard to tell if your current favorite weapon is still good or if you need to set up a new one again. It’s really stressful being a Warzone fan.
So, Warzone, please: Tell us what you plan. Blow Verdansk up, bring a new map, do something with the old one – I almost don’t care. Just something exciting for once. But don’t troll us with an in-game teaser that bombs the map and then keep us waiting for weeks for something to happen with the zombies. Thank you.
What do you think about the topic? Do you also think that Warzone should try harder with content and communication or are you satisfied with the game and its conditions?

Tomorrow, on March 27, the raid weekend with Rayquaza starts in Pokémon GO. We will show you the best counters and reveal what to expect.
When does the raid weekend take place? It starts on Saturday at 10:00 AM. You can take advantage of the special event over the weekend until Sunday at 8:00 PM.
During the raid weekend, Rayquaza will reappear in level 5 raids for the first time after a long absence. We will show you what to keep in mind for its return.
The best counters and info for Rayquaza’s return
Use these Pokémon against Rayquaza: The legendary Pokémon is of the Flying and Dragon types, making it vulnerable to Rock, Dragon, Fairy, and Ice types. It even has a double weakness against Ice.
You should therefore use Ice Pokémon primarily. Here are the 5 best counters against Rayquaza:
Pokémon
Attacks
Mamoswine
Powder Snow and Avalanche
Galarian Darmanitan
Ice Fang and Avalanche
Snorunt
Ice Shard and Avalanche
Glaceon
Icy Wind and Avalanche
Mewtwo
Psycho Cut and Ice Beam
How many trainers are needed? Only 2 trainers are required to defeat Rayquaza in the raid. This can be quite easy if you use the right counters. However, if you want to be quicker in the raid, it is better to participate with 4-5 trainers.
Keep in mind that you can also invite players to a remote raid. This way, you only meet a few trainers on-site and can adhere to the existing Corona measures.
How much CP does a Rayquaza in the raid need? If you catch Rayquaza after the raid and it has 2191 CP or 2739 CP with weather bonus, then you can look forward to a specimen with 100% IV.
Are Rayquaza raids worth it? Definitely! The legendary Pokémon is the best Dragon attacker in the game. For that alone, you should secure at least one strong specimen.
Additionally, Rayquaza can also appear in its shiny form. The chance for that is about 1 in 19. Shiny Rayquaza is black and looks significantly different from the normal form.
How does the raid weekend exactly proceed? During the previous raid weekends, the chance of a level 5 raid at a gym was usually increased. This means you could complete significantly more raids than usual over the weekend.
Whether this will happen this time is unclear. However, it is already known that the Therian form of Thundurus will also continue to be available alongside Rayquaza. You can catch both legendary Pokémon.
What happens after the weekend? After the raid weekend, the weather week also ends. It will make room for the next events in April. Niantic has already shown a large list that has already scheduled many events. We will provide you with an overview of all events for the upcoming month: Pokémon GO: All events in April 2021 – Which ones are worth it?
