Buy AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT: Here you can order it

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

You can now buy the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. We show you where you can buy it and tell you for whom the purchase is worthwhile.

What time does the sale start? Since March 18, 2021, at 2 PM CET, you can buy the AMD Radeon 6700 XT.

When will the custom designs be available? The custom designs of the Radeon graphics cards have also been available since March 18, 2021. You can only order the reference model directly from AMD.

How much does the graphics card cost? AMD charges 479 euros for its reference model, but prices at various online retailers are usually between 900 and 1000 euros, effectively doubling it. One retailer had sold the RX 6700 XT even before the release for double the price.

Custom and reference model: The reference model comes directly from AMD. Custom models are modified graphics cards that offer a different (and often better) cooling design or are factory overclocked, thus providing more performance. RGB embellishments are often included as well.

How good is the Radeon RX 6700 XT?

In the first tests, the RX 6700 XT provides good performance and ranks between the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070. Thus, AMD achieves its goal of beating the RTX 3060 Ti but does not quite reach the RTX 3070. It is missing about 7 – 10% performance. However, the price of the RX 6700 XT is officially lower than that of the RTX 3070.

How important is ray tracing to you? If ray tracing and high performance are important to you, there is currently no way around Nvidia’s RTX 3000 graphics cards. They still offer you the faster ray tracing and DLSS.

Who is the graphics card interesting for? The graphics card is particularly interesting for you if you want to game in WQHD resolution with at least 90 FPS. If you only want to play in Full HD with high frame rates, you could also consider the RTX 3060.

Both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards are currently hard to come by.

If ray tracing is not that important to you, then the RX 6700 XT is a good alternative to the RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti. On one hand, it offers more performance than the RTX 3060 Ti and is partially just behind the RTX 3070. On the other hand, the Radeon graphics card has more video memory than the competition.

Especially DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a point that currently speaks for Nvidia. Also because AMD has now stated that FidelityFX Super Resolution will likely not arrive until the end of 2021 (via GameStar.de). Moreover, we currently do not know how powerful AMD’s DLSS counterpart will ultimately be. Here we need to wait for the first independent benchmarks.

What are DLSS and FidelityFX Super Resolution? With Nvidia DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), the game is internally calculated at a lower resolution and scaled to a higher resolution such as 4K via an AI algorithm to increase FPS. With the RTX 3060, the performance gain is up to 30%. AMD aims to provide a similar technique with FidelityFX Super Resolution and close the gap.

Tip: If you are currently looking for a new graphics card or need a new PC quickly, you can also take a look at the GameStar PCs from our colleagues. These offer you the Radeon 6700 XT ROG Strix, the new graphics card from AMD. Here you can check out the offer of the GameStar PCs on our sister site:

What other graphics cards are available from AMD? AMD had already introduced its new high-end graphics cards for gamers at the end of 2020. The RX 6800 (XT) and RX 6900 XT also provide enough performance for 4K resolution but have a disadvantage compared to Nvidia in ray tracing and due to the lack of a DLSS alternative.

Here we present to you where you can buy the AMD RX 6800 (XT) and RX 6900 XT

Explorer loves Pokémon so much that he names new beetles after them

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

In Australia, a professor and his student discovered new subspecies of beetles. Because of the student’s love for the franchise and the fact that they are so rare, they were named after 3 legendary Pokémon.

What happened? Professor Dr. Darren Pollock from Eastern New Mexico University and philosophy student Yun Hsiao from Taiwan discovered 3 new species of beetles together in Australia. These differ slightly in appearance but share one common feature: they are very rare.

Yun Hsiao, a Pokémon fan, subsequently named these 3 beetles after the legendary Flying Pokémon from the first generation:

  • Binburrum articuno (G) – this beetle has brown wings
  • Binburrum moltres (H) – the golden half of this beetle is clearly visible
  • Binburrum zapdos (J) – here the mix of black wings and brown body is conspicuous
Beetle named after Pokémon

This discovery took place back in 2020, but in March 2021, Eastern New Mexico University published an interview about it. Only then did the names become popular.

Student Discovers New Beetles, More Pokémon Could Follow

How did the discovery of the beetles happen? Dr. Darren Pollock reported that he met the student Yun Hsiao about 5 or 6 years ago. Together they worked on a third edition of the book “Australian Beetles”.

In the process, he stumbled upon a completely new genus, which he named Binburrum. The student, in turn, began a PhD position at the Australian National Insect Collection in Canberra. There he discovered 3 new subspecies that the two wanted to include in the book.

How does naming occur? Pollock explained in the conversation that naming is not as trivial as it seems. One must find a name that clearly distinguishes oneself from other genera.

Hsiao reportedly mentioned after that he had been an “aspiring Pokémon trainer” in his youth and suggested the names of the three legendary Flying Pokémon due to their rarity. Pollock agreed.

Akrtos, Zapdos, Lavados Pokémon
The beetles were named after these 3 legendary Pokémon.

What’s next? The two scientists want to continue searching for new beetles. According to the interview, more new species of the genus Binburrum have already appeared.

Pollock revealed that it is possible that these could also be named after Pokémon.

Animals are often Named After Pokémon

Are there other animals that have been named after Pokémon? Yes, there are. In 2018, we reported that a Japanese team of researchers named an ant species after Pokémon.

Interestingly, they used AR technology and thus spontaneously arrived at a connection to Pokémon GO. They subsequently had users on the internet vote on the names and compiled a list of insect Pokémon and fan favorites.

On the Amino website, a user has also collected additional animals named after Pokémon, including a dragonfly named after Charizard or a species of wasp that includes Hornliu in its name.

More curious Pokémon GO stories on MeinMMO:

Pokémon was originally inspired by insects: Naming animals after Pokémon is in a way a cycle. The creator of Pokémon, Satoshi Tojiri, was a passionate collector of insects in his childhood.

He even developed new techniques on how to attract different insects. Therefore, his childhood hobby is strongly reflected in his life’s work, Pokémon.

Anyone who wants to hunt for monsters in Pokémon GO can take advantage of the current Electric event. It runs until Monday: Pokémon GO: Quests, Raids, and a Surprise for the Electric Event.

Here you can find the new chests in Fortnite that give you such good loot

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 3 minutes

The start of Season 6 in Fortnite introduced new chests that offer particularly good loot. However, they are not easy to find. MeinMMO shows you where the bunker chests are located on the map.

What are these chests? The new bunker chests were introduced in Season 6 – Chapter 2. Anyone who finds one of these chests should definitely loot it, as it contains weapons in the rarities epic to legendary – including rocket launchers and the pump shotgun, which has made a return.

The locations of these chests are scattered all over the Season 6 map, but there is no guarantee that they will always spawn in their place in every round. This makes it harder to find them in matches. We will show you where to search if you want to secure the good loot.

All Locations of the Bunker Chests

Here you see the spawn locations where the chests are located
Image source: fortnite.gg

So far, players have found 20 bunker chests at various locations on the map. Some locations may still appear during the season. We will update the guide as more finds are made.

Currently, you can find the chests at:

  • The Shark – in the basement of a building
  • South of Stealthy Stronghold on the green hill
  • In Pleasant Park – in the basement of a building located to the southeast
  • In Craggy Cliffs – hidden in a bunker
  • Northwest of Steamy Stacks – on the top floor of the broken house (on a hill)
  • Underground of the building at Steamy Stacks, which is in front of the reactors
  • South of Colossal Crops on a green hill
  • In Retail Row on the top floor of the yellow house
  • West of Retail Row buried among flowers
  • Southeast of the map on the top floor of the wooden cabin
  • At Camp Cod in the western building
  • At Camp Cod in the house that is on a hill
  • Under the stairs in the small cabin located near the Apres-Ski cabin
  • Northwest of Logjam Lumberyard, on a green hill
  • In the ‘secret cabin’ of Weeping Woods
  • North of Weeping Woods on a green hill
  • In Sweaty Sands on the top floor of the house, which is located to the southeast
  • West of the map on an island located on a stone hill

If you are interested in more about Fortnite this might also interest you:

The chests that are located in open fields must be dug up with your pickaxe first. After that, they will be revealed, and you can interact with them to open them.

If you prefer to watch the exact locations in a video, we will embed a YouTube video here that shows 18 of the locations in more detail.

Is it worth seeking out the chests? If you want to equip yourself with strong loot, then you should target these new chests, as you will definitely be rewarded with the best weapons. However, since the chests do not always spawn, it is also a risk for you if you fly directly to them.

If there is no chest there, you can quickly get caught in the crossfire if other players are already faster equipped with weapons. However, if you happen to encounter the bunker chest, make sure to loot it!

If you do not want to hunt for the strong chests, then you also have the option in Season 6 to craft cool weapons yourself. With the new feature you can now craft prehistoric weapons that have not existed in Fortnite until now.

FIFA 21: Neymar has a team that you really don’t want to play against

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Assembling an absolute top team in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team is not that easy. Some players have now come up against the real football star Neymar. And his team is quite impressive.

Here Neymar’s team appeared: User “bentnose” shared a screenshot and several videos in the FIFA subreddit showing the team “Batmans Club”. On the left wing stood a special player: The Pro card of superstar Neymar. You can recognize it by the coloring and the consistently 99-rated stats.

Such a Pro card is received only by real football players – this is therefore the account of the real Neymar. And he has assembled quite a powerful squad.

Some of the best cards in the game

This is what the team looks like: You can hardly find better players in FIFA 21. The team is made up of some of the best icons ever, including Brazilians Ronaldo, Pélé, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, and Carlos Alberto. Additionally, there’s the top card of Gullit and Icon Moments Yashin along with center-back Maldini. While these are not the Icon Moments versions (except for Yashin), the team comes quite close to an almost perfect dream team in FIFA 21.

Messi’s and Van Dijk’s TOTY cards also contribute to this – and of course Neymar himself. Because even his normal card is among the best in the game and is highly sought after. An example: A streamer drew blind cards in FIFA 21 and thus missed his chance at Neymar.

The popularity is likely also due to the 5-star skills and the weak foot, as well as Neymar’s individual animations. The Pro-Neymar, who also has significantly improved stats in all areas, is likely to be among the best cards ever in the FIFA series.

Where does Neymar play? On Reddit, “bentnose” was not the first to face Neymar. Other players also shared screenshots of matches against the superstar, who apparently plays on PC and not on console.

Another user shared a different version of the team some time ago, which Neymar has apparently slightly adjusted since then. For example, you can see Garrincha in Messi’s position, and Kaká instead of Ronaldinho. By the way, Neymar has Pep Guardiola as the coach in both versions.

The Brazilian is also known as a gamer, who plays CS:GO extensively and is also active on Twitch. He also plays a role in Fortnite, where he will appear as a skin in Season 6.

Destiny 2 owes 337,000 players and is finally paying them out

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny 2 has been in debt with numerous Guardians since February 2021. 337,000 Guardians are waiting for a Glimmer refund that is finally being processed.

This is the debt: Numerous Guardians are waiting in Season 13 for Glimmer that they have actually earned but never arrived in their accounts. Players have been waiting for a refund of this currency for the Cash Shop since February 2021.

Those who completed weekly challenges in Gambit, the Crucible, and Strikes between 10.02 and 23.02 may have ended up completely empty-handed. Bungie promised to refund the full amount, but that could take a while.

This is frustrating: There aren’t many sources for Glimmer in Destiny 2. Many Guardians are chronically low on funds, yet the Eververse surprises them weekly with numerous cosmetics. Some of these can only be purchased for the earnable Glimmer currency for a few days before they either disappear or are only available for Silver, the real-money currency.

This is how you shop in Destiny 2 in the Eververse: Like many other MMOs, Destiny 2 has a Cash Shop: the Eververse. However, there are only skins or emotes – cosmetics, nothing game-changing.
Here, Guardians pay with Glimmer, which can be earned in-game. For example, through the aforementioned weekly challenges, some bounties, and Glimmer is also waiting in the Season Pass.
Alternatively, you pay here with Silver. This currency must be purchased for real euros. Some items in the Eververse are only available for Silver.
The Eververse is always filled with enticing cosmetics

337,000 Guardians to be reimbursed, it takes time

This is what Bungie is doing:

  • Already in February, Bungie noticed the problem of missing Glimmer (via TWaB). They promised that the entire missing amount would be refunded to the players.
  • By mid-March, on 15.03., it was finally time: On Twitter, it was said that the Glimmer would be credited to the Guardians’ accounts (via Twitter).
  • The players then received the message that the Glimmer would be refunded when they logged into Destiny 2.
  • Unfortunately, a look at the Glimmer balance revealed that Bungie was apparently delayed with the payment. Although it was mentioned on Twitter that there could be “delays,” discontent slowly began to spread.

The good news now on the morning of 19.03.: All outstanding debts have been settled.

There was a delay between the message sent in-game and the Glimmer due to the 337,000 players affected. But all the missing Glimmer has now been delivered.

Bungie via TWaB

The reason for the delay was thus the large number of Guardians who were in debt in Destiny 2.

The Eververse is under constant fire

This is why the Guardians complain: The Eververse has been criticized almost permanently since its introduction. It is said that Bungie manages to provide loot weekly to the Eververse, which is badly needed and missing in the main game. Moreover, players often complain that Bungie reacts quickly to errors that harm the Eververse – or its economy – and immediately patches any Glimmer loophole.

But for problems that affect the balance in the game or such a refund, they take too long. The accusation is that there are two different priorities at play here. Our MeinMMO author Sven Galitzki addresses all of these points in this personal open letter: How the Eververse is consuming the soul of Destiny 2: the loot.

destiny-tess-everis
Even in Destiny 1, Tess and her Eververse became the enemy of the Guardians

The Eververse in transition: Bungie has since tweaked numerous aspects to make the Eververse more appealing to players. Nowadays, there are almost all shop items available for the earnable in-game currency in events and seasons, usually as part of a weekly rotation. Those who are patient can usually obtain all the beautiful cosmetics without spending real money – if they happen to have the funds at the appropriate time.

Moreover, the Glimmer allocation is frequently being worked on. Since Season 13, players also receive Glimmer through seasonal challenges – once at the season’s end, even a significant amount if they have been diligent. The situation has improved, especially for players who only level up one character. However, Guardians and the Eververse will likely never fully warm up to each other.

Also interesting:

Are you also waiting for your Glimmer since February? What do you think about the Eververse? Has it evolved positively or at least tolerably? Do you see it as a good thing that Bungie is finally refunding all this Glimmer? Share your opinion with us in the comments.

A charity campaign by WoW rewards you with 2 pets and a good conscience

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Players of World of Warcraft can soon look forward to 2 really cool pets. At least if enough people donate for an important cause.

At Blizzard and World of Warcraft, it is a long-standing tradition to release a “Charity Pet” once a year. Typically, you buy a special pet with real money in the WoW shop, and a large portion of the money is donated to a good cause. But this year, Blizzard is doing it differently. You don’t have to buy anything in the shop – and you can even get both pets without spending any money.

Nevertheless, donations are required – though not necessarily from every player.

Who do we donate to? The donated money goes to the organization Doctors Without Borders (also: “Médecins Sans Frontières”). This is an international, independent medical relief organization that provides emergency assistance to people in numerous countries around the world. They particularly care for people affected by armed conflicts, epidemics, and various disasters who need medical care.

In this case, the money goes directly into a Covid-19 crisis fund. This fund was specifically created to fight the coronavirus, and the money is used to enable Doctors Without Borders to help the sick and contain the spread of the virus.

More about the exact purposes of the fund and Doctors Without Borders in general can be found on their website.

Daisy, or in other words: Damn cute!

How does this work? The initiative runs until April 26, 2021, and all donations will be totaled. If the total amount raised through this initiative exceeds certain thresholds, then all World of Warcraft players will receive these pets. The thresholds are as follows:

  • If the donation amount reaches $500,000, then all players will receive the pet Bananas.
  • If the donation amount reaches $1,000,000, then all players will additionally receive the sloth Daisy.

Here is the donation campaign (link to the donation page).

What kind of pets are these? The first pet is Bananas. This is basically not a new pet, but has existed in the game for ages. The little monkey was once part of the World of Warcraft trading card game, which was discontinued many years ago.

WoW Daisy Pet Ruecken
Daisy hangs on your back!

The second pet, the sloth Daisy, is significantly more interesting. It is the only pet of its kind, has a unique model, and also a special animation. When you call the pet with the emote /beckon, you can see Daisy attach itself to the player’s back and stay there for a while. Good, since sloths aren’t the fastest.

More updates around WoW can be found here:

Do you have to donate to get the pets? No. Even if you don’t want or can’t donate anything, you will receive the pets if the corresponding thresholds are reached. It is not necessary to spend money to benefit from the initiative in the end.

However, if you have a bit of money left and want to “buy” the pets – most likely – you should contribute to the donation campaign. After all, it is for a really good cause and, by the way, increases the chance that all World of Warcraft players will get two stylish pets.

What do you think of this new variant of WoW’s charity program? A good change? Or would you have preferred to just buy it in the shop like before?

Players love new weapon in CoD Cold War – Update makes it now twice as strong

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War released a new update yesterday, on March 18, including a playlist update, adjustments to League Play, and weapon tuning. Especially, the E-Tool, the melee shovel, benefits from a hefty buff. MeinMMO shows you the details.

What’s going on? Black Ops Cold War received a new update on its servers and brought a few minor changes to the game:

  • Buff for the killer shovel “E-Tool”
  • New maps for modes in League Play
  • Fresh playlists for multiplayer and zombies

The most exciting part of the current update is the buff of the E-Tool. The weapon is now, broadly speaking, twice as strong and knocks out enemies with just one hit. Here on MeinMMO, you can find the complete patch notes in English.

CoD Cold War: Update March 18 with a big E-Tool buff

What’s up with the E-Tool? The melee weapon was recently added to the game and can be unlocked through a challenging challenge. In the blog post with the patch notes on treyarch.com, the developers write that they have seen a lot of love from players for the death shovel in zombie mode, but also requests to make the melee weapon stronger in multiplayer. The requests have been heard – the E-Tool has been significantly buffed:

  • The shovel is now a one-hit melee kill (previously 2 hits)
  • Reduced swing time when striking
  • Slightly increased movement speed

This melee weapon is now significantly more attractive in multiplayer and should find even more fans. Plus, the weapon fits better with the heavy unlock challenge.

How do I get the E-Tool in Cold War? To unlock the killer shovel, you need to achieve a 3-kill streak with a melee weapon in 15 different matches.

What else did the update bring? The significant change to the E-Tool is the highlight of the update. Besides, there were adjustments to the maps in two of the game modes of the ranked mode League Play and new playlists:

  • League Play
    • CDL position: Crossroads Strike has been removed, and Apocalypse has been added
    • CDL Search & Destroy: Garrison has been removed, and Express has been added
  • Multiplayer playlist
    • Depot
    • Knife Fight 3vs3
    • History Moshpit
    • Gun Game
    • Nuketown 24/7
    • Gunfight
    • Showdown
  • Zombie playlist
    • Outbreak
    • Firebase Z
    • The Machine
    • Dead Ops Arcade Ego Perspective
    • Dead Ops Arcade

On PlayStation, there are also the exclusive Rush modes – in the normal version with map rotation, and two separate Rush modes that only run on Nuketown or Apocalypse.

Tips & tricks for Cold War:

Cold War Season 2 – What else is in the pipeline?

What can we expect in Season 2? In Season 1, three major updates brought new content to the game, and content is also known for the current season that should come before the end of Season 2 on April 22:

  • 2 new weapons are already known: The crossbow “Shadowhunter” and the sniper “ZRG 20mm”
  • The large multi-team map “Golova,” which is already included in the Outbreak mode
  • A map for the small Gunfight mode – “Mansion”

The current roadmap for Season 2:

cod cold war warzone season 2 roadmap

It is quite possible that the announced content will not be the only additions. Especially regarding the supply of 6vs6 maps, many players wish for a faster pace. So far, only “Apocalypse” has been released as a map for the “normal” multiplayer modes. Here, Cold War continues to fall short of expectations.

If you consider the new content from Cold War and the battle royale Warzone in Season 2, one could certainly call it a zombie season. However, this does not sit well with fans of the standard PvP modes. Because soldiers who can’t find anything appealing in the zombie mode of Cold War have only been offered little new content in Season 2 so far. However, the chances are good that the developers will make another push – as they did in the previous Season 1.

You should not take the Outbreak mode as seriously as a prisoner from England: Escaped prisoner wants to play CoD Cold War – ends up back in jail.

Diablo 3: Speedrunners crack Greater Rift in about 2 minutes – This is how the world record run went

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 3 a new speedrun has been set in a Greater Rift in the current Season 22. However, the community is not only excited about this.

What is this new record? The four players “Code” (Demon Hunter), “Sleepyjoe” (Barbarian), “Swaggur” (Crusader) and “Movingman” (Necromancer) completed a Greater Rift Level 150 in Diablo 3 with a time of 2:19 minutes. No one has been that fast before. Thus, they secure Rank 1 in the current Season.

Such speedruns are very popular in Diablo 3.

In this video, you can see how the speedrun went:

Link to the YouTube content

How did they achieve that? The four players are really good, as can be seen in the video. But they also had a lot of luck. They got a Greater Rift where they could summon the Guardian very quickly due to a high monster density and thus reach the end.

The Greater Rifts in Diablo 3 are randomly generated. Thus, players look for versions that are particularly effective during the Seasons. This usually takes many hours. Once they find one, they try to master it as quickly as possible to set a record.

Dark clouds hover over the speedrun in Diablo 2

How does the community react to this? The performance of the four Diablo players is recognized by many, because even with a good Rift, it is still a challenge to do it so quickly at Level 150. Nevertheless, it shows that the community is slowly feeling a bit annoyed by the random factor.

  • Mateo Diablo writes on Youtube about the video: “Does this even have any significance?”
  • Aza says: “Congratulations. You earned this with all the keys you spent for it.”
  • iluhju muju explains: “These guys are top players, regardless of Paragon, and they have to spend a lot of time searching for a Rift to enable a time like this.”

More about Diablo 3:

What also clouds the victory? The four players from Clan Zero Drama are accused of account sharing and botting. There was even a video two years ago in which a player from the clan was banned live (via YouTube). The clan has since been watched closely by the community. Therefore, there are players who also criticize this new speedrun.

  • CriticoolHit writes about the video: “This is a cheat run on shared accounts. Shouldn’t these guys be banned?”
  • Arkeon Sanath agrees: “It’s all just botting and account sharing. This is not a challenge!”

What do you think about this speedrun record in Diablo 3? Do you believe it is justified?

In the meantime, the end date of Diablo 3 Season 22 has been announced and a major update is coming.

At the “Festival of Fools”, you can level up much faster in ESO

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

Next week, you can take a break from the serious topics in the fantasy world of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S). The Festival of Fools is starting, where you can level up quickly.

What is the Festival of Fools in ESO? This cheerful event offers some fun quests and plenty of rewards. This is not a serious affair; you should just have fun and celebrate.

When does the festival start and end? It begins on March 25 at 3:00 PM. You have until April 1 at 4:00 PM to complete the quests and claim your rewards.

To start the festival, you need to visit the festival pavilions in front of the cities of Ebonheart (Stonefalls), Vulkhel Guard (Auridon), or Daggerfall (Glenumbra) and speak to the Jester’s representatives of the King of Scales.

Why is it especially worthwhile to join now? Just by completing the introductory quest, you will receive your first reward: the Jester’s Pie, which grants you 100% more EXP for two hours.

This cake is particularly exciting because 100% more experience points allows you to level up twice as fast. If you are new to ESO, you should grab this delicacy right away and can achieve a lot in the first hours.

Why is it also worthwhile for veterans? Update 29 has revamped the Champion Points. They are now acquired faster, but you also need more of them. So, even veterans can benefit from this event.

How to level up even faster in ESO

Once you’ve devoured the pie, you should quickly visit locations in the world of Tamriel where you can level up quickly. For example:

  • The Catacombs of Skyreach in the adventure zone of Kraggenmoor, found in the northwest of Cyrodiil.
  • If you’re already in Kraggenmoor, take advantage of the area Spellscar, where you can also quickly gather EXP.

That grinding doesn’t have to be a bad thing in the MMORPG ESO, MyMMO author Larissa Then will tell you. Also, we have put together tips for leveling in a group.

Destiny 2 improves chance for coveted Exotic – And it will finally be fixed

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Bungie finally addresses the broken raid exotic “Eyes of Tomorrow” in Destiny 2 and will fix the rocket launcher from the Deep Stone Crypt in the upcoming update 3.1.1.1. Additionally, the drop chance will also be adjusted.

What is the problem with Eyes of Tomorrow? Eyes of Tomorrow is an exotic rocket launcher from the Beyond Light raid Deep Stone Crypt and was introduced with Beyond Light, specifically Season 12. This exotic is very powerful in PvP, Gambit, and PvE and is therefore highly sought after. However, after the start of the current Season 13, players noticed, instead of an expected buff, that this weapon exotic seems to have been nerfed.

However, Bungie stated that they did not make any nerfs to Eyes of Tomorrow and wanted to take a closer look at the whole situation. Now there has been feedback.

Eyes of Tomorrow – What changes with update 3.1.1.1

What Bungie has announced: They have apparently found the problem and it will be fixed soon. Additionally, the drop rate of the coveted exotic will be adjusted. Although Bungie originally included a bad luck protection mechanism, which was supposed to increase the chance of a drop with each run without a drop, this mechanic reportedly did not function well or consistently. They have already identified the issue and promise improvements.

Eyes of Tomorrow is finally getting fixed: As Bungie discovered, there was apparently a modifier incorrectly applied to the weapon. This reduced its damage against mini-bosses, such as the final bosses of Lost Sectors. The problem with many bosses (Ultras) is that they are actually Majors, like the sector bosses.

The Warlock holds Eyes of Tomorrow

While there were also reports that damage against raid bosses seemed lower than in Season 12, the studio could not reproduce this during internal tests. In short: Nothing was found that could have been fixed; the damage against bosses is apparently correct.

Bad luck protection for drop rate will be fixed

There was also an error found with the bad luck protection after numerous reports that the rocket launcher would not drop for some players even after countless runs with multiple characters.

This mechanism was incorrectly applied per character runs instead of account-wide, as it should have been.

If you haven’t gotten your hands on this beauty yet: With the next update, all raid completions of an account will now correctly be combined into a single value. This will happen retroactively with the next update.

  • This will give you the maximum possible completions for the bad luck protection – and that since the raid went live and regardless of the characters with which you have completed the raid.
  • For players with only one character, this will have no effect, but for raiders with multiple characters, the bad luck protection will effectively double or even triple.
  • Such bad luck protection has also existed for other raid exotics: This is how Destiny 2 aims to help the Guardian who went into the raid 102 times and always had bad luck

When exactly is this happening? The changes will come with hotfix 3.1.1.1, which is scheduled for March 23.

Also interesting:

Are you looking forward to this exotic rocket launcher finally reaching its full potential? Some speculate that it could become one of the most powerful representatives of its kind. Do you need to earn Eyes of Tomorrow first, which hopefully will finally become consistently easier to do? Or are the raid and this weapon completely uninteresting to you? Let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.

WoW has become easier for melee fighters – Have you noticed?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

One of the most annoying affixes for melee players in World of Warcraft has been weakened. Malicious is no longer quite so evil.

In the last expansions of World of Warcraft, there has been ongoing criticism that melee players have it harder compared to ranged players. Especially in weeks with some nasty affixes, this has certainly been the case. Depending on the affix, melee players may not even be included in groups – one of them was the affix “Malicious”. It has now been weakened.

What is Malicious? Malicious is an affix that can appear in “Mythic+” dungeons. It causes slain enemies to leave behind a spirit upon death. The spirit targets a random player, slowly floats towards them, and deals massive damage with melee attacks. They can be controlled with stuns and similar effects, die from high damage, and expire on their own after a few seconds.

What was the problem? The strikes of the spirits deal massive damage, often taking down many characters with just 1-2 attacks. Especially melee players struggle because the spirits spawn from the corpses of enemies and are thus right in melee range of the melee players. When melee players are targeted, it is difficult to avoid the first attack.

Melee players were furious – no wonder, when the mobs take them down so quickly.

What was changed? Blizzard made a few minor changes that, although not listed in the patch notes for update 9.0.5 – like these 10 secret changes -, were noticed by some players. These include:

  • The melee range of the spirits seems to have been significantly reduced. Previously, players reported that the spirits could sometimes strike from over 8-10 meters away. This has apparently been changed.
  • Targeted players now have clear red eyes above their character to signal that they are being attacked. Previously, the eyes were weakly purple and harder to notice in the heat of battle.

These new changes are just minor tweaks, but they should make melee players’ lives significantly easier and lead to quicker reactions that are rewarded with fewer hits.

More about WoW can be found here:

Will melee players be taken along again? Whether melee players will be welcomed again in weeks with “Malicious” will have to be seen until all players have noticed this change. In general, the affix continues to be more problematic for melee players as the spirits still spawn within melee range.

But even a small improvement is still an improvement – every death less helps to master even high-level dungeons.

What do you think of the adjustments? Do melee players still need more “help”? Or are the affixes well balanced?

This is how gamescom 2021 goes – All information

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

The organizers of the gamescom have announced how the event will take place in 2021. Here you will find all the information regarding date, location, and concept.

On what date will the gamescom 2021 take place? The gamescom 2021 is scheduled to run from Wednesday, August 25, 2021, to Sunday, August 29.

Where will the gamescom 2021 take place? Due to the pandemic, the gamescom is planned as a hybrid event this year. There will be a limited event at the location in Cologne, but also a digital experience that is accessible to everyone.

However, the organizers clarify through a press release: “If the pandemic development makes an on-site implementation impossible, the gamescom will once again take place purely digitally.”

When are tickets available for the gamescom 2021? Currently, the start of ticket sales is planned for May 2021. However, the number of tickets will be significantly reduced compared to previous events.

This is how the gamescom 2021 will run online and on-site

The organizers are planning a concept that essentially includes a fair at two locations: once physically in Cologne and digitally online.

This is what to expect on-site: Here is an “entertainment area” planned for a reduced number of visitors. Here, trying out new games will be the focus. Queues will be managed using a digital management system.

As the organizers explain, a number of measures have been developed, including “hygiene and distance rules, regulations for stand construction, as well as solutions that ensure a safe fair operation, such as digital management at the stands.”

There will also be a space for e-sports tournaments and cosplay shows, as well as a business area for industry visitors.

This will happen digitally: Online, the concept of the last year’s digital gamescom will be further developed. Among other things, the following points will take place digitally:

  • The Opening Night Live will be broadcast digitally
  • Various events will take place online

The Opening Night was also broadcast live in 2020 and was where premieres and trailers were primarily showcased.

Moreover, the events “devcom,” a developer conference, and the “gamescom congress” are planned both on-site and digitally.

With the gamescom, we want to make an on-site event possible for gaming fans in late summer again. This year, we are focusing on the super fans and allowing them to try out the latest games on-site.

At the same time, the gamescom 2021 will reach millions of people worldwide again through the further developed digital offering. The results of the community surveys confirm this concept, which we have developed in close coordination with many of the major exhibitors. No question, the planning will be much more challenging for all involved in this special situation than usual. But the enthusiasm of the gaming community is definitely worth these efforts!

Felix Falk, Managing Director of the game – Association of the German Games Industry e.V.

As soon as there is more information about the event, we will keep you updated here at MeinMMO. Will you be participating in the hybrid event? Let us know in the comments!

Megalomaniac Vikings tame and breed trolls in Valheim now

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

In Valheim , only certain animals can actually be tamed to provide advantages to the Vikings. However, a player has now designed a mod that allows every opponent to be domesticated… even giant, hairy trolls.

What players are doing now: Valheim allows players to tame animals. In the game, only wolves, wild boars, and the large (but actually quite peaceful) Lox are planned.

However, one player has found a way to keep even significantly more dangerous creatures as pets – and even breed them. More precisely: He didn’t just find the way but simply made the possibility himself.

With a mod by the user “buzz”, it is possible to tame all kinds of opponents. This includes the giant trolls that roam the Black Forest and usually stomp around their caves.

What kind of mod is this? The mod is called “AllTameable” and does exactly what its name promises: you can tame all creatures in Valheim that you find. By default, only trolls and goblin brutes can be tamed with the mod.

However, if you delve a little into the config file of the mod, you can make all opponents in the game tamable – even bosses. You can also configure how long taming takes, how close you need to stand to the opponent, and what food you need.

Valheim Swamp Boss Boneback 3
The boss Boneback can also be tamed through the mod. If you prefer to take him down, you can find tips for that in our comprehensive boss guide to Valheim.

You can find the file at the path “steamappscommonValheimBepInExconfigbuzz.valheim.AllTameable.cfg” and you can open it with a text editor. In our guide, you will learn how to install mods in Valheim.

What are mods? A mod, short for “modification,” is an unofficial extension for a game. They often open up options that are otherwise not possible or even expand a game with additional content.

In Valheim, many mods serve to make the game a bit easier or to improve the UI. However, some players make it harder for themselves and install mods to turn Valheim into a true hardcore survival game.

Taming trolls in Valheim… but why?

What a troll can be used for: If you want to tame a troll yourself… go ahead. The giant brutes can certainly serve as very efficient defense for your base and can take quite a beating.

More about Valheim on MeinMMO:

However, keep in mind that mods only work on your own server – locally or dedicated. If other players are on your server, they also need to install the mod beforehand or obtain it from you for everything to work smoothly.

You can also make the game easier for yourself without mods, for example, through admin commands. These allow you, among other things, to build for free or have a god mode. Or a command to tame all creatures in the vicinity. You can find all admin commands for Valheim in the practical overview.

Fallout 76: Players create their own crime series and it looks great

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

One of the largest role-playing communities in Fallout 76 has launched its own crime series. Other players can participate and must find out what happened to some missing people. The series consists of six one-hour videos and is broadcast live on Twitch.

What is this series? The series is called “Responders Appalachia” and is styled after detective series and noir films of the 80s. Some people have gone missing and players must find out what happened to them.

During this, they can question “NPCs” – who are played by members of the role-playing group. Hired actors for the game, so to speak. The goal is to draw the right conclusions to solve the case.

What is role-playing? Role-playing (short “RP” or less commonly “RSP”) refers to players taking on a role in a game. This has nothing to do with classic RPG roles like tank or healer, but rather with roles as in acting.

For example, it is possible for players to choose to embody a doctor in Fallout 76 or even play an entire group of police officers that protect the wasteland. They are always “in their role” in the game and not wandering around as players.

The whole thing runs on the PlayStation 4, which is why only PS4 players can participate. Anyone interested can sign up via the tweet from the official Fallout Five-0 channel.

The pilot episode already lasts over an hour and looks really high quality. Every week, another episode will be aired on the Twitch channel of Fallout Five-0 and will subsequently be available as VOD on YouTube. We have embedded the first episode here for you:

Who are the players? The “New Responders”, also known as Fallout Five-0, are one of the largest role-playing communities in Fallout 76. They frequently take on roles to help other players or experience exciting stories.

In a larger plot, for example, they played out a real faction war where a gang leader of the raiders went through an actual trial with judges and lawyers.

Their willingness to help even extends beyond the game. In May 2020, a well-known player of Fallout 76 lost his house in a severe fire. The players of Fallout Five-0 then raised money through a donation campaign to help their hero.

More about Fallout 76 on MeinMMO:

Fallout also gets its own series

Responders Appalachia is a fan series set in Fallout 76, but an official Fallout series is also currently in development. It was announced back in July 2020.

There is still no exact information on when the Fallout series will be released. The announcement stated that Amazon is working with the creators of Westworld. You can find more details in our article:

FIFA 21: Big mistake made players buy packs only for real money

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 21 there was a serious problem in the Ultimate Team shop: Packs were suddenly only available through FIFA Points.

Update, March 18, 2021, 19:50: Apparently, the error has been found. If you log into the Companion App now, you will find the option to buy packs with coins again.

Here continues with the original article

This is the problem: When you look around in the in-game shop of Ultimate Team, you only find the option to buy packs for FIFA Points. The usual option to buy packs with coins is completely missing.

  • FIFA Points is an in-game currency that you can only purchase with real money.
  • Coins are the currency you receive as rewards for matches, or also from Weekend League rewards and Division Rivals.

The option to purchase with earned coins is currently completely missing

The error occurs in the game, but also in the web app and the companion app. Thus, the option to buy packs with earned coins is currently completely missing.

This is what EA Sports says: The team from EA Sports has already responded. Through the direct communication channel on FIFA 21, the team stated that the problem is currently being investigated.

Wild Rift: All 61 Champions of LoL Mobile

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

Wild Rift is the mobile and console version of League of Legends. However, it is supposed to be slightly adjusted for the platforms and will launch with fewer champions accordingly.

Update March 19: Since then, the champions Katarina, Xayah, Rakan, and 3 new champions with Patch 2.1b have been added.

Update January 5: With the new Patch 2.0, 5 Yordle champions were added: Corki, Kennen, Lulu, Teemo, Tristana.

Update December 8: With Patch 1.1, two more champions were released, Darius and Draven. We also created a tier list for all positions.

Update December 3: We have updated the list concerning the champions. There are now 47 in total.

Which champions are starting Wild Rift? The mobile version of LoL, set to be released in 2020, will start with 49 champions. This makes the selection significantly smaller, as the PC version currently has 152, with the next champion appearing in two weeks.

Most of the 49 champions come from the early years of the MOBA, and many were even available at launch, like Alistar, Jax, or Master Yi. However, there are also two newer champs among them, which many did not expect:

  • Jhin – Released in February 2016
  • Camille – Released in December 2016

In return, some of the 40 release champions of LoL are missing, including Cho’Gath, Gangplank, Singed, and Twitch.

Genshin Impact: Event with Barbara – Here’s how to unlock all endings and rewards

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 5 minutes

In Genshin Impact, a new event has started where you can hang out with some characters and grab rewards. We will tell you how to unlock all endings in the event with Barbara.

What kind of event is this? This mini-event is a so-called invitation event that is part of the new update 1.4. During these events, you can spend some private time with the healer Barbara and other characters.

In this, you play through a story where you can choose different dialogue options. The special thing about it is that the dialogue options influence the ending of your date. During the date, a heart display will tell you how Barbara is feeling. Bad answers can cause her to run away from you and your date to fail.

There are 5 endings, and each of them gives a reward, which is why you should try to unlock them all.

Warning: From here on, there are spoilers about the invitation event with Barbara. Read at your own risk.

How do I unlock the event? You can find the event for Barbara in the action overview under “Invitation Event”. The first quest is called “Sister Victoria’s Grief”, and to be able to play the event, you need:

  • Adventure Level 26
  • 2 Legend Keys
genshin impact barbara date
This is how the menu for invitation events looks like.

After unlocking, the quest starts automatically, and you can follow the instructions and markings on the map.

What rewards are there? When you complete the individual endings, you will receive travel logs. For each log, there are rewards that you can collect:

  • 1 travel log: 100 adventure EXP, 20 Primogems, 3 Guides to Freedom
  • 2 travel logs: 100 adventure EXP, 5 Wisdom of a Hero, 3 Varunada Lazurite Shards
  • 3 travel logs: 100 adventure EXP, 20 Primogems, 5 Fiery Stews
  • 4 travel logs: 100 adventure EXP, 5 Wisdom of a Hero, 3 Varunada Lazurite Shards
  • 5 travel logs: 100 adventure EXP, 20 Primogems, 3 Guides to Freedom

The different endings of Barbara’s invitation event

In this guide, we will show you which answers lead to which endings of the event. There is more than one solution path, and you can also experiment to see how Barbara reacts to different answers. Some of her reactions are quite funny. But the predetermined answers will definitely give you the corresponding endings.

Always follow the quest instructions until you are faced with the choice between different dialogue options. Once you reach an ending and have completed the quest, you can restart it.

genshin impact barbara event overview
On an overview map of the event, you can check which endings you already have and which ones you are still missing.

You can either start completely from the beginning or select the quest step on the overview map where you want to continue. This saves you from repeating many dialogues. It also doesn’t matter in which order you tackle the endings.

Source of Healing – Ending 1

genshin impact barbara ending 1

For the first ending, you need to choose the following options during the conversations:

  • Just wait here, we’ll go and send this person away.
  • Oh, so you collected all the berries…
  • Barbara is no longer here […]
  • How can you be so sure that she is on her way, […]
  • I’ve been here all day taking care of monsters in the area. […]

After the last dialogue option, you need to follow Albert and call out for Barbara. This will also give you the first and shortest ending.

Source of Healing – Ending 2

genshin impact barbara ending 2

For the second ending, you need to restart the quest and repeat the previous steps. So first, go back to Sister Victoria. Afterwards, choose the following answers to unlock the ending:

  • Let’s go deeper into the woods […]
  • Is your family not worried at all… […]
  • (Look at Barbara with an innocent expression)
  • I will help you
  • Leave it to us!
  • We found Barbara in the Wolfenlauf.
  • I would like to taste your special chili brew!
  • Okay, let’s split up.
  • We should look for her.
  • We thought something might have happened, […]
  • That seems risky […].
  • It doesn’t need any more words […]
  • Well, we were looking for sugar flowers…
  • What do you like so much about chili brew?
  • And that has… […]
  • Sounds to me like this bottle is… […]

This step is the longest and gives you the best ending. However, it also unlocks shortcuts on the quest map that will lead you faster to other endings.

Source of Healing – Ending 3

genshin impact barbara ending 3

After completing Ending 2, go to the quest progress overview and start from the point where you had to fight the treasure robbers in the previous step. It’s marked with “Knightly Bishop, ready for battle!” From there, the dialogue options are as follows:

  • I would like to try the chili brew from Liyue…
  • *cough*

Source of Healing – Ending 4

genshin impact barbara ending 4

For this ending, start at the quest map “Sudden Screaming” and follow the quest until the dialogues:

  • Wait a second, what is the Barbara fan club?
  • Wolfenlauf is a vast area […]
  • There could be some areas unknown to you […]
  • But can you still hear them now? […]
  • Leave it to us!
  • We found Barbara in the Wolfenlauf.
  • Overwhelming Sparkling Tea […]
  • Herman: Do you mind if […]
  • Schulz: Barbara is currently at work, […]
  • Susie: If you like Barbara’s style, you might… […]
  • They came to their senses, […]
  • A while ago in the city… […]

Alternatively, you can start directly at the step “Gratitude of the Bishop”. This cuts the path to Ending 4. However, you’ll miss some new responses from Albert and a new connection on your quest map.

Source of Healing – Ending 5

genshin barbara ending 5

For the last ending, you need to start again at the quest step “Gratitude of the Bishop”. The following answers will take you to your goal:

  • I would like to taste your special chili brew!
  • I think it’s better to […]
  • Quellingen is quite far away… […]
  • Wait Barbara […]

Other options during the dialogue chain will lead you to the ending with the chili brew. You can try them out to see additional scenes, but they won’t yield new endings with rewards.

By the way, if you need more Primogems, you can easily earn them in a browser game:

I thought Magic: Legends was like Diablo – I was completely wrong

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Magic: Legends will soon finally start its beta after some delays. MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus already had the chance to take a look at what the new ARPG in the Magic universe has to offer. He has discarded his initial expectations.

When I played Magic: Legends for the first time at PAX East in early 2020, I thought: this will be a cool alternative to Diablo 3 or Diablo 4. A strong hack’n’slash with the lore of Magic, the gameplay of Diablo, and some of its own mechanics.

Wrong thought.

The developers invited MeinMMO to take another look at Magic: Legends shortly before the beta launch, and I have to say: it has hardly anything to do with Diablo anymore. Yes, those who know and have played the series can draw on some experience. But that’s where the similarity ends.

Legends does so much differently that I felt pretty dumb at first glance at the mechanics – but also excited. Perhaps there is more here than just a pure alternative to Diablo. I hope for a new gem in the ARPG genre, but I also have my concerns.

Please note that I played a pre-release version. Much can still change before the beta or release.

The current trailer for the beta.

This is how Magic: Legends plays

This is the gameplay: My session included two missions as well as a little browsing in the shop, the decks, cards, and the equipment as well as an overview of all classes. Basically, because of that, yes, the pure gameplay is indeed very similar to that of Diablo.

In the missions and the world, I move my character and use one of four currently available abilities. I find masses of enemies, usually in larger groups, and kindly guide them to the afterlife with fire, summons, or other magic.

The only difference is that my spells are not fixed. The four active abilities rotate out of a total of twelve that I installed in my (pre-made) decks. If I use an ability, it gets consumed and the next “card” is drawn randomly from the stack.

This changes which abilities I have available when. This way, different synergies and possibilities arise for killing enemies. Ultimately, everything builds on me coordinating my skills and considering how exactly my abilities should interact.

That sounds like Diablo, right? Builds in Diablo work in a similar way. Sets and abilities create synergies, and eventually, a “meta-build” emerges that every player of a class then uses.

In Legends, however, that is expected to be different. Because of the sheer number of cards available to each of the five classes so far, countless different decks can be created.

But that’s not all. Magic: Legends offers, in addition to the cards and decks, equipment and artifacts. Equipment provides bonuses for attributes and abilities as usual. Artifacts are what makes the decks and synergies really interesting.

They provide effects in addition to the cards and the equipment, such as: every time I cast a certain type of spell, I have a chance to summon a giant dragon. During my playtest, I had up to three dragons on the field simultaneously, one of which can already handle dozens of enemies on its own.

Additionally, Legends is not strictly divided into levels and maps like Diablo. There are, although, individual missions that function similarly to dungeons in Diablo 3. However, the world, with its many layers, offers an open world that you can explore and in which you can even find player hubs (cities). In addition, every player has a personal sanctum.

Legends is more MMO than Diablo

What makes Magic: Legends special: All these features make Legends more of an MMO than Diablo can claim. Roughly speaking, it is reminiscent of the size of Path of Exile, only, in my understanding, it is focused even more on social aspects.

In short, Legends offers the following core features:

  • an open world that you can freely explore with portals for fast travel. There are several “layers” with their own cities that function similarly to Acts in Diablo 3
  • closed levels or missions where you pursue a goal and earn loot at the end. For example, I played a sort of escort mission as well as a mission where I had to defend an area against enemies for a while
  • continuous progress through more and more cards, equipment, and artifacts as well as the ability to upgrade them with farmable materials
  • Decks that determine how you play Magic: Legends
  • artifacts that enhance the effects of decks and lead to strong builds in the endgame

Levels work roughly like in Diablo. Once a mission in the story has been played, it can be completed again and again to loot better loot on higher difficulties or to help friends.

The upcoming ARPG Magic: Legends has released a new trailer for the soon-to-start open beta. MeinMMO informs you what you can play in the beta and how to participate.

When does the beta start? The new ARPG starts on March 23, 2021, in the open beta. The date has been known for some time. Now we also know what you can look forward to in the test.

What’s included? In a new trailer, the developers reveal what content will be in the beta. In summary, you can:

  • try out all five classes of the game
  • find and use over 170 spells, 50 artifacts, and 160 unique equipment pieces
  • explore the five levels of the world with their own stories
  • play on four different difficulty levels (normal, hard, expert, and master)
  • explore the world in co-op with up to three players in a group and even more players in the open world

One of the five classes can already be chosen when you create a character. The rest can be unlocked later through gameplay or purchased in the shop. All progress you make in the open beta will carry over to the final game.

We at MeinMMO have already had a preview of the beta of Magic: Legends and seen what the game will look like. You can read more about it here: I thought Magic: Legends was like Diablo – I was completely wrong
