The best Raid counters for Boreos in Pokémon GO help you win the battle as quickly as possible. We show you the best attackers and everything important about the Boreos raid.
What kind of boss is this? The legendary Pokémon Boreos is solely a Flying type. Therefore, its counters include attackers of Electric, Ice, and Rock types.
The special thing about this boss is that it has two forms. However, it can only be found in its Incarnate Form at first.
Update from March 8, 2021: We have updated this counter guide for you and added new attackers to the table. Since its last visit in Pokémon GO, there are new counters like Mega Ampharos that deal a lot of damage in battle against Boreos.
How long will Boreos be available? You can find the boss from March 6 at 08:00 until March 11, 2021, at 08:00 in raids in Pokémon GO. You can find more events for March 2021 in Pokémon GO here.

Notes: With Electric Pokémon, you are well served in this fight, as they are not susceptible to the attacks that Boreos can bring into battle.
Attackers like Ramides or Mamoswine are solid in battle, but are vulnerable if Boreos has the attack Uproar.
How many trainers does it take to fight? If you are equipped with strong counters, you can defeat Boreos with just 2 trainers. To be on the safe side, we recommend about 4 trainers.
This is still important: At the end of March 2021, the Therian form of Boreos will be available in Pokémon GO. Starting March 30, it will be time. Mark this date and make sure to get this form of the legendary boss.

In Destiny 2, an expert shares his top 3 strongest weapon combinations for PvE. Here you will find the locations and information about the guns that you should definitely try out in the Season of the Chosen.
You can find it here: In Destiny 2, you can always carry 3 weapons. But which legendary guns and Exotics make the deadliest combinations and can flatten bosses as well as quickly wipe out adds?
This is exactly the question that Destiny expert Ehroar from the Redeem Clan has asked. The clan holds multiple World-First titles and the famous Destiny streamer Gladd is also a member there.
MeinMMO presents in this article the 3 best loadouts from Ehroar for PvE in Season 13 and gives you the locations of the weapons and some tips on gameplay or synergy of the combos. The good thing is: you can play all the suggestions with any class and both on PC and consoles.
Since Destiny 2 finally removes the heavily criticized weapon sunset from the game, you can use the powerful loadouts at your leisure in the future.
Primary Weapon: Ehroar swears by the Extraordinary Performance. This is a 750 RPM submachine gun with kinetic damage. According to him, this is the best legendary SMG in the game.
You receive Extraordinary Performance after battlefield kills and can find it in focused Umbral Engrams.
For perks, focus on “Rampage” to receive a 20% damage bonus. You don’t even have to actively engage with the weapon. As long as you are in combat for 12 seconds, the perk activates. By the way, this perk is exclusively found on the new Cabal weapons of Season 13.
By the way, the recoil of some weapons was adjusted at the start of Season 13. This includes SMGs, which now play significantly better, especially on controllers.
Special Weapon: The star of the loadout is the grenade launcher Plunderer Salvo. This is claimed to be the best legendary add-clear weapon, according to the pro (without Warmind Cells). The breach-loader adds arc damage and decimates entire hordes through its chain reaction explosion.
The weapon always has fixed perks, basically an inbuilt god roll.
However, according to Ehroar, it is a myth that the mod “Dragonfly Spec” makes the weapon even stronger (via YouTube) – but Plunderer Salvo doesn’t need that at all.
You can, however, use mods like “Explosive Rounds” to quickly charge with light and become even stronger.
Power Weapon: Since you have the exotic slot free, you have a lot of room here. The exotic sword the Lament is recommended. This melee monster can heal you, slice through shields and even champion barriers, and if played correctly, the damage goes through the roof.
On the next pages, you will find 2 more weapon combinations that will let you decimate everything and that the pro swears by. One loadout evokes nostalgic memories – of the time before Beyond Light.

The What-If Event in FIFA 21 brought a strong card for Mattéo Guendouzi. You can obtain him through the Guendouzi challenges without coins – but not for too long.
This is “What If” Guendouzi: The Frenchman is under contract with Hertha BSC and fits perfectly into Bundesliga teams. Additionally, he provides good linking opportunities to other leagues.
His new What-If card has received a substantial upgrade of a full 10 points compared to the gold version. The new variant is perfectly suited for the CDM position and has particularly strong values in defense, physicality, passing, and dribbling.
Thus, he is suitable as a destroyer but also as a ball distributor for the offense. If equipped with a Shadow chemistry style, he is the ideal CDM.
This is how long the card is available: You need to hurry with Guendouzi. The challenges are only available until March 11.
The midfielder requires some effort but no coins
What-If Upgrade possible: The What-If cards receive an upgrade of 2 additional overall points if your club achieves certain goals. In Guendouzi’s case, Hertha BSC must score 6 goals in a total of 5 matches.
In the first match, Hertha already scored 2 goals, so 4 are still missing.
The upcoming matches are against Dortmund, Leverkusen, Union Berlin, and Gladbach.
The Hertha matches have not been very high-scoring lately, but there was a 2:1 victory against Augsburg. In the table, the Berlin team is in 14th place. The upcoming schedule is not the easiest – theoretically, however, just one goal per game is enough to secure Guendouzi the upgrade.
But even without further upgrades, Guendouzi is worth it. The midfielder can be obtained without the use of coins.
How to complete the Guendouzi challenges in FIFA 21 for the What-If card
This is what you need to do: In total, there are 5 challenges to complete for Guendouzi. All of them take place in the friendly match mode “What If – Classic”.
Score in 2 separate matches in the Live FUT Friendly “What If – Classic” with Bundesliga players.
Score in 3 separate matches in the Live FUT Friendly “What If – Classic” with midfielders.
Assist in the Live FUT Friendly “What If – Classic” for 5 goals with French players.
Win 5 matches in the Live FUT Friendly “What If – Classic”.
Score in 10 separate matches in the Live FUT Friendly “What If – Classic” with Bundesliga players.
The mode has some restrictions
Tips for the Guendouzi challenges: The “What If – Classic” mode has two access restrictions. You need 11 clubs in the starting eleven, as well as at least 3 leagues.
Looking at the challenges, it’s advisable to bring the combination of “Bundesliga” and “France” onto the pitch as often as possible – especially in the offense.
Examples of French players in the Bundesliga:
Moussa Diaby (LM) – Leverkusen
Kingsley Coman (LM) – Bayern
Lucas Hernandez (CB) – Bayern
Alassane Plea (ST) – Gladbach
Dayot Upamecano (CB) – Leipzig
Nordi Mukiele (RB) – Leipzig
Christopher Nkunku (ST) – Leipzig
Baptiste Santamaria (CDM) – Freiburg
Jean-Philippe Mateta (ST) – Mainz
Mattéo Guendouzi (CDM) – Hertha BSC
Remember that you can only use one player from each club. Otherwise, fill your team with additional Bundesliga players for the challenges and chemistry. However, make sure to incorporate at least two other leagues.
Use loan players: In the friendly match mode, you can use loan players without losing contracts. So if you have top players like Mbappé or Icons in the loan version, bring them into play here.
Moreover, it pays off to play offensively. Often, players in friendly matches give up early, as this has no effect on any ranks or rewards in Live Friendlies.
The yet to be properly released submachine gun CX-9 can be played in Call of Duty: Warzone with a lot of luck. And the CoD pro NICKMERCS is convinced that everyone will only play this weapon after trying it out, if it should indeed come.
This is the weapon in question: It is about the CX-9. This is a fast-firing submachine gun – apparently still from the time of Modern Warfare. Because it can, among other things, be unlocked and used in the co-op survival mode of CoD: Modern Warfare.
The special thing about this weapon: In Warzone or in Multiplayer of Modern Warfare, this weapon has not properly appeared yet. Currently, you cannot unlock, upgrade, and use the CX-9 there. Whether it will be completely released there at some point is unclear.
But with luck, you can already take it into the Battle Royale since the start of Season 2. And the consensus is: The gun packs a punch, and it would definitely count as top-tier; some even consider it OP.
This is how you currently get the CX-9 in Warzone: In Warzone, you can currently only find the weapon in a special version, namely in the form of the Serac blueprint – and only with extreme luck. It drops very rarely from the also rare orange/golden loot crates. It is also said to exist as a very rare “ground loot”.
Here is the rare Serac blueprint
If it is even close to how it is now, you won’t see anything else
This is what NICKMERCS says about the CX-9: Now the well-known streamer and CoD pro NICKMERCS has finally been able to try the weapon himself and was very excited – but also nervous, as he admits. Because regarding the weapon, the meta apparently worries him.
“I was only able to use the thing for half the game, but you can see why it’s so hard to get it,” says NICKMERCS almost reverently in his latest video. “The thing is a laser, at all distances. It has a crazy TTK (Time to Kill) that exceeds everything,” he continues.
“I look forward to when this weapon lands in Warzone, but I am also nervous again. If it’s even close to how it is now, you won’t see anything else on the map,” he concludes.
Here you see NICKMERCS with the CX-9 in action:

When will the weapon come? That is not clear. Not even if it will ever be completely introduced – that is, in the regular version apart from the Serac blueprint.
But as mentioned: With luck, you can currently play with the weapon in Battle Royale. And if you actually manage to get the CX-9 into your hands during a match, make sure to try it out. Right now it is really OP and definitely worth it – regardless of whether this potential top weapon eventually comes or not.
Have you been lucky enough to get your own picture of this submachine gun? What are your experiences with this gun? Would you like to see a regular introduction in Warzone?
The Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel (25) simply cannot play nicely with others. He has now been banned from the popular roleplay server for GTA 5 Online “No Pixel 3.0” after he exploited a glitch and shot two police officers from within a prison cell. As a result, the most-watched streamer on Twitch is now banned from the most-viewed game in March 2021.
This is the situation:
The server “No Pixel 3.0” is a privately run roleplay server for GTA 5, here many big streamers play on Twitch like Sodapoppin. This makes the ancient GTA Online 2021 once again the hottest game on Twitch, ahead of LoL, Fortnite, and Valorant.
The streamer xQc is by far the most-watched streamer on Twitch in recent days, playing GTA 5.
xQc is regarded as the “bad boy” of Twitch, who cannot follow any rules. “No Pixel” is a server that places great importance on rules and kicks players who do not adhere to these rules.
After an escapade, xQc received his second ban from the server, causing a lot of attention. There is hardly a bigger topic over the weekend than “xQc banned.”
xQc and GTA are currently dominating Twitch. Source: 7.3., Sullygnome
xQc smuggles a gun into the prison cell and starts shooting
This is what xQc did: The streamer was arrested in GTA 5 by other players. xQc used a glitch to equip a gun while in handcuffs, even though it had been confiscated from him.
In the cell at the police station, xQc then drew the weapon and took out two police officers with headshots. This caused an uproar.

The recently returned streamer Esfand reacted quickly with a ninja roll and shot xQc in the cell. He received a lot of applause for this.
The scene looks particularly amusing because the stocky Esfand, a former football player, has made his character Cornwood quite fat.
Esfand watches the scene in a replay and can hardly contain his laughter, as the stocky cop first stands in the corner to do his business and then takes out the criminal with a “John Wick” roll and a headshot.

Why is this causing an uproar? xQc’s behavior actually outrages some viewers. A reddit thread on the topic has over 1,600 comments.
xQc clearly “cheated” in this scene – this is against the roleplay rules. The cops said: “We searched him thoroughly”: He shouldn’t have had any weapons in the cell.
Exploiting glitches is already frowned upon, but it is particularly taboo on roleplay servers. There are clear rules that everyone knows and takes seriously.
Furthermore, it is roleplay-wise difficult to explain how the cops could get back up and continue after headshots. xQc actively and significantly interfered in their roleplay.
Moreover, it seems completely unrealistic that a criminal in the cell simply commits double police murder: How would the roleplay have continued from there?
Other streamers do not want to end up as victims in YouTube clips
xQc’s behavior is generally viewed critically. One of the “shot” cops is the popular Twitch streamer MOONMOON. He says: He has no interest in being exploited by xQc to create YouTube clips from his misconduct and contribute to xQc becoming even more popular.
MOONMOON says: xQc acts so badly only because he wants attention. He is deliberately looking to get banned. No normal person would behave like that. It is selfish and reckless.
No one behaves like you do. I refuse to believe it. I no longer want to be part of this. […] I refuse to be farmed for “xQc gets banned from No Pixel 3.0” clips on YouTube.
This is the consequence of the ban: xQc has been banned from the server for his behavior.
xQc himself wrote on Discord: He is banned for “a few days”, during which his character will go on a cruise (via twitter).
However, the clip has brought him a lot of attention: xQc is by far the most-watched streamer on Twitch. Fans enjoy his behavior as the “bad boy.”
This is the first time xQc has been banned from No Pixel at the end of February. He crashed into other players with his car and then fled the scene. This misconduct is known as VDM, “Vehicle Death Match.”
xQc feels harassed by cops
This is what xQc says: He apologizes for his behavior:
“What I did … is terrible. I should be banned for this, and I have been banned for this.”
xQc
xQc also admits that he would be furious if another person behaved that way toward him.
But xQc also believes that he was merely defending himself. He was already angry and past the “point of no return” in that situation.
He accuses the “cop” streamers on the server of taking far too long when arresting him or interacting with him. Or they would arrest him without engaging in any form of roleplay.
He believes: Cop streamers would intentionally take their time to have xQc in their streams and benefit from his fame.
Therefore, he finds it actually okay for him to defend himself in this way. Because this behavior of the cop streamers is just boring and no one likes it.
This is what it’s about: This is the same conflict that xQc had on the Rust roleplay server. xQc constantly wants action and to give his fans something. Therefore, he often takes on the role of a “bad boy” and imposes his style of fast action on other streamers. In doing so, he is not so concerned about the rules and streams of others. He mainly focuses on himself and his audience.
Other streamers who play by the “rules” apparently feel harassed by this.
xQc functions as an accelerant on Twitch: There’s a lot going on and there’s plenty of spectacle, but eventually, the place is burned down.
The streamer xQc shapes the current events on Twitch like hardly anyone else. Meanwhile, the former Overwatch pro still grapples with the platform, even though he once said, “The Twitch chat raised him”:
Cortyn from MeinMMO enjoys the long pause before the next WoW patch. Because this way, there is time to have fun without any pressure.
WoW: Shadowlands has been released for over three months now, and slowly but surely, all players have seen all the content. But instead of getting bored, I enjoy the game even more. Because the more “exhausted” the current content is, the more freely I can approach content that I genuinely enjoy.
So for me, it’s true: The longer Shadowlands is out, the more fun I have with the game.
The amount of mandatory content shrinks
With each passing week, the amount of content I consider “mandatory” shrinks. In the early days and weeks, it was still important for me to complete every single class quest to maximize reputation with the factions. My weekly visits to Torghast to collect soul ash have become rare outings since I no longer depend on the ash. The weekly completion of missions in the Maw to collect soul ash and Stygia is also coming to an end, as I actually don’t need either anymore.
This means I have complete freedom after logging in to do what I like. I used to always have that annoying voice in the back of my head pushing me to gather soul ash, farm Stygia once more, or finish that one world quest with the bonus reputation.
That is now completely absent. I can log in, think about what I would like to “work” on, and what goals I want to pursue. Especially with Anima, you can buy so many different things that I really enjoy the selection.
Again, the rule applies that one sets small goals to achieve. I don’t indulge myself in the illusion of having collected 300,000 Anima soon to buy everything. But maybe here I can spend 5,000 for a weapon or there a little 2,500 for a cool back transmog – that’s definitely doable.
I can also spend more time on pet battles again and catch up on some of the old pet battle dungeons from which I am still missing some rewards. This has been lacking much too long in the last months and now finally has space again.
A few obligations remain
Of course, I still have a few “mandatory appointments” that I have chosen for myself. After all, I am raiding heroically, and so far Denathrius still refuses to give up the ghost or give me Ramona Remornia as a sword. It will surely be a few weeks before he finally bites the dust, and that obligation also falls away.
There’s sometimes a bit of trouble in dungeons – luckily, it is always the others’ fault.
And then there’s Mythic+.
My group is certainly not part of the gaming elite at world rank level, but we try to make the best of it despite a rather relaxed play style. Currently, we have reached the range of “M+13” – with the goal of being able to finish M+15 in all dungeons from our own strength before patch 9.1 Chains of Domination to score the mount. Everyone is engaged and ready to improve without it degenerating into cliché “tryharding”.
Every week there’s a little improvement for one or two dungeons – it’s a mid-term goal, we are not in a hurry. Just a rather cozy approach to progress, without directly sitting on our hands.
Currently, everything feels much “freer” in WoW: Shadowlands for me. I can decide for myself what content I tackle and I no longer feel the pressure to lag behind in anything relevant if I let it slide for a day or two. My virtual wardrobe is definitely happy about the transmog sets that are being completed, and my pet collection is about to burst at the seams.
Patch 9.1 is still far away.
Even though the prospect of having to wait several more months for patch 9.1 Chains of Domination annoys some players immensely – I like it. A few months of peace, where nothing in WoW is running away and I can calmly do only what I really want to do.
I believe this would be beneficial to me and the game on a regular basis. And also to players who are similar to me.
What are you currently doing in WoW? Are you bored? Or are you using the quieter weeks to pursue personal goals?

The top PS5 games in February 2021 have been released. The list is quite colorful – from co-op shooters to sports titles to single-player hits, there’s pretty much everything included. Which games were downloaded the most from the PS Store, you’ll find out here.
What kind of list is this? The PlayStation Blog shared a whole series of numbers that show which games for PS4 and PS5 were particularly often downloaded in February 2021.
Among them is the list of the most popular games on PS5 in February – at least according to the official PS Store. We take a closer look at the top games.
The 20 games most downloaded for PS5 in February
Getting a PS5 is still not easy – even if more and more consoles are finding new owners. If you’re still looking for one, we recommend the PS5 ticker on MeinMMO.
However, if you already own a PS5, there’s a good chance you contributed to the following list. These paid games were downloaded the most for PlayStation 5 in the PlayStation Store in February 2021.
1. FIFA 21

The top spot in February goes to the sports simulation by EA Sports. In FIFA 21, it’s all about precise passes, exciting dribbles, and of course, scoring as many beautiful goals as possible.
FIFA 21 offers various modes, such as career mode for solo players or Pro Clubs and Ultimate Team in online mode. In FUT there are weekly competitions and the Weekend League where you can fight to earn the best rewards and build a really strong team. There’s also a PS5 upgrade with a new camera, better graphics, and DualSense support.
Not only Steam hit Valheim lets you swing the Viking axe: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was released back in November 2020 but still seems to attract a lot of players.
The game from Ubisoft transports you to medieval England, where the well-known AC formula is implemented a bit differently than usual. One difference from before is the new quests that are set up more like small mini-events.
The new Spider-Man spin-off was one of the games heavily promoted before the PS5 launched – apparently with success. Because in February, the single-player adventure secured the third spot in the PS5 charts.
The game does not focus on the original web-slinger Peter Parker but on the young Miles Morales, who evolves from a substitute wall-crawler to a real superhero. Once again, you can swing through the beautifully designed New York, which this time shines in a Christmas look and benefits greatly from a new graphics mode on the PS5. Spider-Man: Miles Morales impresses not only with great visuals and entertaining gameplay but also with a really good story.
The new Black Ops installment of the CoD series was released in November 2020 and sends you into the Cold War. The shooter regularly receives new seasons with fresh content and modes. Recently, Season 2 just started, which also brought the new outbreak mode for Zombies.
Closely linked to the game is the battle royale variant CoD: Warzone. Here you land in the war-torn Verdansk and try to survive until the end. Warzone is also a top contender in the ranking of free-to-play games.
Rainbow Six Siege is the oldest title in the top 5 of the new list but still manages to attract a lot of players. It’s a tactical team shooter where you face off as attackers and defenders.
There are numerous operators with various attributes and abilities that you can use. If you’re into team-oriented gameplay, you’ll still find Rainbow Six Siege to be excellent in 2021: it belongs to the 14 best multiplayer shooters of 2021.
Rank 6 – 20 of the most downloads on PS5 in February 2021
Below the top 5 are additional titles likely to interest multiplayer players. In 6th place, for instance, is Mortal Kombat 11 – a beat ’em up where you can challenge each other. In 9th place is Borderlands 3, a wild looter-shooter with an unbelievable number of weapons and just as many jokes. No Man’s Sky also secured a spot on the list.
Additionally, single-player games such as Demon’s Souls or Immortals Fenyx Rising are included.
Here you can find the complete ranking:

Are you a member of Amazon Prime or Prime Gaming? Then you can now snag some exotic rewards for Destiny 2. MeinMMO explains how basically anyone can secure this Twitch Prime loot for free and shows which items are available in March 2021.
What is Twitch Prime loot? Bungie has been collaborating with Prime Gaming for another year since November 2020. If you have an active “Amazon Prime” and/or “Prime Gaming” membership, you can claim some additional in-game rewards for Destiny 2 on all platforms – mostly Exotics.
In total, there are 12 monthly drops, each offering four special rewards – including exotic weapons, ghost shells, ships, sparrows, weapon ornaments, emotes, or other cosmetics from previous seasons.
Destiny 2 – The Twitch Loot in March
When can I get the new Twitch items? The March drop is currently available. It is already live and can be claimed – until March 24.
The following items are included this time: The March drop includes:
the legendary ghost projection “Imperial Projection”
the exotic gesture “Six Chambers”
the exotic sparrow “Warhorse”
the exotic ship “The Oviraptor”
The March drop from Twitch Prime
How to access Twitch loot
As an Amazon Prime member: If you are a member of Amazon Prime, you automatically get access to Twitch Prime. The only thing you need to do (if not already done): Log in there and link your accounts. Alternatively, you can also register directly with Prime Gaming.
If you are a Prime member and have already linked your Twitch account to your Bungie account, you can then go directly to the Prime Gaming site. Log in and look for Destiny 2 in “In-Game Loot and More” – it’s hard to miss. Then navigate to new content. There you can claim them.
If, as a Prime member, you haven’t linked your Bungie account with Amazon yet, you can do that on this page.
Without a Prime membership: Even without a previous Prime membership, you can still get this loot. Because Amazon Prime and/or Prime Gaming can be tested free and without restriction for 30 days. You can register for this on this page. The only requirement: You have not already utilized the free trial.
Amanda Holliday: She provides the items in the game
Where can I find the items in the game? After you have claimed the loot on the Prime Gaming site, you need to visit Amanda Holliday in the Tower Hangar in-game. She will hand you the respective items.
What do you think of the March drop? Is there anything in there that you absolutely want because you missed it before? Are you completely new, and thus every new exotic item is welcome? Or can you generally do nothing with such actions?

In Genshin Impact, Patch 1.4 is coming soon. It brings a lot of new mini-games – and at the same time the opportunity to take four of the characters on a date.
The developers of miHoYo are continuing to work hard to bring new content to the RPG Genshin Impact. In a few days, the release of Patch 1.4 is coming, and it is sure to bring a lot of spring feelings into the world of Teyvat. There will not only be a nice festival in Mondstadt, but also the option to spend a little “special time” with your favorite characters.
What is the Windblume Festival? In addition to several quests, the Windblume Festival mainly consists of several mini-games that you can participate in to earn various rewards. As usual, there are materials for character upgrades that can otherwise only be obtained with great effort from small mini-dungeons. The trailer already offers a first glimpse of the mini-games. These include:
Running a course while dodging obstacles.
A flying test where you must demonstrate your gliding skills.
Catching falling petals.
Shooting balloons charged with various elements.
So there should be something entertaining for all players.
Various mini-games keep you busy.
Are there any prerequisites? Yes. As usual, they are quite low, and most players should be able to participate without any problems. To celebrate the Windblume Festival, you must have reached adventure level 20 and completed the Archon quest “The Song of the Dragon and Freedom.” This is essentially the first act of the game and temporarily concludes the storyline about Mondstadt.
You can go on dates: A highlight for everyone who really enjoys the characters in Genshin Impact is the opportunity to take some of the characters on a date. These are special, small events where you spend a bit of private time with the respective character. At the beginning, this will only be possible with four characters. These are:

Especially interesting: These dates have different paths and lead to various stations and resolutions, depending on the player’s decisions. Who knows if such a date will turn into a romantic highlight or just a chaotic day full of terrible coincidences?
If your favorites are not included – no worries. In the future, such events should also be possible with other characters. These are just the first four that made it into the game.
When does Patch 1.4 come out? The patch will be released next week, on March 17, 2021. As usual, events are expected to be gradually unlocked over the following days.
New Character and World Level Changes
Patch 1.4 brings even more than just this event. There are new characters and also quite cool settings that should help frustrated players.
Rosaria impresses – naturally also visually.
This is Rosaria: As a new character comes Rosaria, a 4-star figure. She carries the title “Thorny Benevolence.” Rosaria is, like Barbara, a sister in the Church of Favonius and appeared in the last patch. She uses the Cryo element and wields a polearm. With her elemental skill, she can quickly switch between multiple enemies.
World level can be lowered: What is likely to be good news for many players: You can now lower the world level. So far, the world level automatically increases with your adventure rank or after completing a certain mission. You then had no way to reduce the level. This meant tougher enemies and better loot, but possibly also more frustration. Because for those who don’t have optimized equipment yet, dealing with an increased world level is difficult.
In Patch 1.4, you can therefore manually lower the world level – both in solo and in co-op mode.
Are you excited about the new patch? Which feature are you particularly looking forward to?

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) offers a lot of challenging content. For those of you who enjoy tackling it alone, we have the best solo classes for you.
In ESO, it is possible to play every class in every role – as a damage dealer, healer, or tank. You also have the freedom to use any conceivable weapon or armor.
This can make it difficult to find the right combination for yourself. The YouTuber Lucky Ghost has taken it upon himself to do some of that work for you.
Over the last few months, he has tested and refined all his solo builds, so he could create a video about his own tier list. There, you’ll find his best solo classes, and today we want to present his three top recommendations.
Of course, this is just a selection, and depending on your own preferences, other classes can also perform well solo. We at MeinMMO want to share Lucky Ghost’s tips with you here. According to the YouTuber, the builds are also suitable for really challenging content.

If you don’t have Leroy Fer in FIFA 21, you should consider getting the What-If card. An incredible game in the Eredivisie guaranteed this affordable player an upgrade.
That’s why FIFA players are currently watching the Eredivisie: Normally, only fans of the Dutch “Eredivisie” would likely be interested in the match between Feyenoord Rotterdam and VVV Venlo. But in FIFA 21, the “What-If event” is happening, bringing several cards that receive an upgrade if their team achieves certain goals in the real football world.
For offensive and midfield players, 6 goals must be scored within the next 5 league games. This creates excitement, as many players follow the clubs of their cards for several weeks – even if they aren’t actually fans of the club. But players who have got Leroy Fer can now stop.
Leroy Fer is already a strong card – and will get even better
That’s why Leroy Fer is a special case: For Fer’s What-If card, you don’t even need pack luck, you can simply get the player through a Squad Building Challenge. This requires only an 84-rated team and offers an 85-rated midfield card that is strong in all important stats. And the upgrade of the player by two points to 87 is now also already certain.
Because his club, Feyenoord Rotterdam, located in the South Holland region, crushed their opponent right away with a 6:0 at the first opportunity. Players Toornstra (scored twice), Geertruida, Linssen, Berghuis, and Bottegin gifted VVV Venlo the six goals. Fer didn’t even need to score himself.
Therefore, the question of a possible upgrade was quickly resolved, it should go live next Wednesday.
For the Leroy Fer SBC, you only need an 84-rated team
The nice thing about it: The SBC for Fer is still available until March 9. So you can still get the card now, even though it’s already clear that an upgrade is coming.
FIFA players celebrate, Leroy Fer celebrates too
This is how the community reacts: If you look at the FIFA subreddit, you can see that Feyenoord has likely gained a few fans at least temporarily.
“The crazy ones actually did it,” cheers one player (via reddit).
“Confirmed: The Feyenoord team consists of FIFA players,” comments one (via reddit), while another takes it a step further: “Confirmed: The VVV-Venlo team consists of FIFA players” (via reddit).
“I started the SBC when they were already 4 goals ahead. By the time I finished, it was 6” (via reddit).
This is what Leroy Fer says: Leroy Fer himself also spoke via the Feyenoord Twitter account.

“Hey guys, 6:0 win today. I hope you enjoyed it!” says Fer, holding a real version of his card in front of the camera: “My stats are going up! I hope you use my card in FIFA!”
At least the card should be a pretty good option for players betting on Dutch teams or those needing a strong substitute.
In June 2020, Twitch permanently banned the well-known streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm without giving any reasons. The Twitch streamer himself has never really clarified the background of the ban. Now a new theory is making the rounds in March 2021.
What was the ban about? Dr Disrespect had been a successful Twitch streamer for years:
There were numerous theories about the reasons – ranging from a PR gag to a business decision to a crime. However, to this day, no one knows exactly why DrDisrespect was permanently banned from Twitch.
Recently, things had been a bit quieter regarding the separation, but now a new, hot rumor is causing a stir again.
Who is Dr Disrespect anyway? Dr Disrespect is a character portrayed by streamer Guy Beahm, who previously worked as a community manager and map designer for Call of Duty. As Doc, Beahm broke through on Twitch in 2017. In the following years, he became one of the most important faces and poster boys of the streaming platform until he was banned in June 2020 and has since been streaming on YouTube.
The man behind the character: Guy Beahm.
Voice Actor from Call of Duty has connections to Twitch
Where does the rumor come from? The statements come from Jeff Leach, the voice actor of Ghost from Call of Duty. Leach recently spoke with Dan Allen on his YouTube channel DanAllenGaming about his role as Ghost. Allen’s channel is known for its interviews with various members of the “Call of Duty” cast.
During the conversation, they also talked about the ban of Dr Disrespect. Leach mentioned a rumor that he claims to have heard “from people who work at Twitch.” You can watch it in the video here:
https://youtu.be/tHrHts2p2XE
DrDisrespect allegedly deceived Twitch with a false Mixer offer
This is supposedly the reason for DrDisrespect’s ban from Twitch: According to Leach, it was about the negotiations of the exclusive contract between DrDisrespect and Twitch, which were concluded in March.
Apparently, the Doc used an offer from the streaming service Mixer as leverage against Twitch to negotiate a better contract for himself. This was a difficult situation for Twitch, as they had already lost Twitch streamers Shroud and Ninja to Mixer.
Apparently, Twitch gave the Doctor a higher contract than originally intended to prevent him from leaving.
DrDisrespect would have been the third major streamer to go to Mixer.
After a few months later, in June 2020, Mixer announced its shutdown, Twitch concluded that Dr Disrespect must have lied about the Mixer offer. It is very unlikely that a dying platform would offer a star a huge deal just before its shutdown.
According to the rumor, the ban resulted from a too risky negotiation tactic and a failed trickery on the part of the Doc. Subsequently, Twitch allegedly severed all ties and refused to continue working with Dr Disrespect.
Apparently, Twitch was disappointed with DrDisrespect: They had built him up to be a star on the platform and made him the “poster boy” of Twitch – now, after he lied to Twitch and had no other option after Mixer shut down, they said: “Okay, then goodbye,” Leach reports.
Another theory that the ban of DrDisrespect is related to the end of Mixer has been around since July 2020: At that time, a lawyer explained that DrDisrespect’s ban might stem from Twitch considering his contract “no longer marketable” after they lost their financially strong rival Mixer. In this theory, the misconduct was solely Twitch’s fault.
Note: This is just a rumor. Even if it may sound plausible – treat the whole thing with a pinch of caution. Because even the voice actor emphasizes that he cannot be 100% sure if the rumor is actually true – even though he assumes so.
What do you think? Could this be the actual reason for the separation of Doc and Twitch? If not – what do you believe was ultimately decisive? Let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.
New MMORPGs invite you to explore an unknown world and experience fresh adventures. However, MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch cannot enjoy that unless he has checked out the endgame first.
What is so special about new MMORPGs? New MMORPGs usually have something magical. You dive into an unknown world, need to get to know the controls and gameplay, and feel like a noob again. Just like back when you tried your first MMORPG and fell in love with it.
Many MMORPG fans wait for years for that one new game that will excite them as much as their first.
What is my problem? I am a bit different. Of course, I also felt completely helpless and aimless in my first MMORPG – Guild Wars 1. But the past few years have somewhat dulled me.
Instead of calmly exploring new MMORPGs and enjoying the world, I now rush as fast as I can towards endgame. Only later do I start to appreciate the story and graphics, and that is with my second character.
About the Author: Alexander Leitsch is mainly responsible for MMORPGs here at MeinMMO. In various titles, he has accumulated over 25,000 hours of gameplay. His main games include Guild Wars 2, Black Desert, and ESO, but basically, every new game on the market is directly tried out.
Only if the endgame is fun, can I have fun
What is behind this quirk? I am actually a huge MMORPG fan, but the last few years have been filled with many, partly personal, disappointments:
In 2014, the sandbox MMORPG ArcheAge was released. I had high hopes for it, but somehow the game could never hold my attention for long. In the end, it was too grindy for me.
All these games share the fact that I particularly struggled with the endgame or, in the case of Bless, didn’t even really make it to the endgame because the game had already lost me before that.
At the preview event, I played New World extensively, but in the end, I mainly tried to level up quickly in groups.
What has changed? Instead of enjoying the story while leveling and exploring the new world, I entered the mentioned 3 games with a completely different mentality:
I looked for tips and tricks for speed leveling
I preferred running dungeons effectively instead of questing
I sought out other players who ground with me or quickly leveled me up to max level in certain high-level zones
I urgently wanted to take steps into the endgame and see if I could even have fun with the MMORPG in the long term. If that’s the case, I create a second character and start enjoying the story and the world with him.
The crazy thing about it is that I don’t have to see all the endgame content at all. My goal is simply to develop a sense of whether the content could be worth it!
Why does that make little sense for WoW? While I could quickly level from level 1 to 50 with some good tips, my method in Shadowlands does not work at all.
There, I have to play the story of the various zones with the first character first before I can skip them with the second. To be honest, that has killed some interesting stories for me while I played alongside Netflix. The goal was ultimately a quick level 60.
Taster courses for endgame in MMORPGs?
The MMORPG Bless Unleashed, which is set to be released for PC in 2021, has an interesting feature. Right after character creation, you are thrown into a tutorial where your character has already reached max level. This way, you can directly learn the most important skills of your class.
In fact, I personally would wish for some kind of demo or taster course for endgame. There, you could enter one of the dungeons and a PvP battleground with a max-level character.
If playing at max level is fun for me, I could consider buying the MMORPG or subscribing, and then enjoy my first character as well.
Good endgame needs group and solo content.
What is good endgame for me? It is difficult for me to give a precise definition; often, it is more of a feeling whether I fit the game or not. However, positive aspects are in any case:
Good group content like dungeons and raids, but also huge world bosses with many players
Solo content that I can quickly log into
A feeling of progress, whether through achievements or light grind
Instanced PvP content that I can quickly jump into and out of
Regular content updates, so there’s always something to do
These criteria are currently best met by Guild Wars 2, ESO, and WoW for me.
What do you think? Can you still immerse yourself in new MMORPGs, or do you share my concern that they might disappoint in endgame?
At the beginning of the year, I also named MMOs that will not survive 2021. Which ones they are and whether I was right about any of them, you can read here: I predict: These 6 MMOs will die in 2021

Real top teams in FIFA 21 consist of strong players. Here you will find a selection of players that cost between 50,000 and 100,000 coins.
What is this list about? In this list, we have compiled players who cost between 50,000 and 100,000 coins but are worth the money. They can be the next step if you want to elevate your already well-equipped team to the next level.
If you are looking for cards for a smaller budget and are still in the team-building phase, you will find them here:
This list now contains players who are actually more expensive. 100,000 coins can be accumulated well if you consistently play a Weekend League and achieve about 11 to 14 wins. Then the combination of the rewards from the Weekend League and the Division Rivals rewards on Thursday brings enough coins and cards to reach 100,000.
Important: Currently, the transfer market is quite high due to some SBCs regarding players with high ratings. Therefore, you might be able to get some players from this list cheaper in the future than is currently the case.
Here you can find players you might want to consider.
Pierre Lees-Melou (What If)
Cost: approximately 98,000 coins
This is what makes Lees-Melou special: The Frenchman has probably the freshest card on this list, as he came with the What-If event into the game. He may seem inconspicuous at first, but his stats offer everything needed in central midfield. He also has a 4-star skill and weak foot combination. And, importantly: He might receive an upgrade.
Price development: You should be careful with Lees-Melou. He was about 120,000 coins after release, dropped briefly below 100,000 – but only barely. It’s possible that he might rise again – especially if his card receives an upgrade.
Riyad Mahrez (TOTW)
Cost: approximately 93,000 coins.
This is what makes Mahrez special: The Inform version of Riyad Mahrez has received a few small upgrades compared to the gold card that further enhance his strengths.
His best asset is the very high dribbling value combined with his 5-star skills. If you are looking for a strong dribbler in the Premier League, Mahrez is the right choice. And if you want to save money, the gold version can also help you – it is already available for about 25,000 coins.
Price development: Mahrez was previously available at a much lower price, but since January 2021, the price has been rising continuously. He has now dropped from around 100,000 coins back into the 90s. Could become cheaper again.
Nicolas Pépé (TOTW)
Cost: approximately 96,000 coins
This is what makes Pépé special: If you play a Premier League team but want speed on the wings? Then Pépé is a good choice. He primarily brings speed and good dribbling to the field. He has a few weaknesses in the physical area.
Price development: Pépé debuted with TOTW 23 and quickly achieved a price around 150,000 coins. However, this price has been continuously decreasing and recently fell below 100,000.
Joao Félix (TOTW)
Cost: approximately 92,000 coins
This is what makes Joao Félix special: The forward is one of the most popular players in FIFA 21. Especially his POTM card is often seen in the Weekend League. However, his 84 Inform card is also very dangerous. Félix has an excellent finishing ability and strong dribbling – including 5-star skills and 4 stars on his weak foot.
Price development: Félix’ Inform card was around 150,000 coins at release but then decreased. Since the end of December, it has fluctuated between 90,000 – 100,000 coins.
Raphael Varane
Cost: approximately 80,000 coins
This is what makes Varane special: Although there are many defenders with higher overall ratings, Varane is still regarded by many as one of the best center-backs in Ultimate Team – if not the best in terms of value for money. His speed, physicality, and defense are all spot on. Additionally, he has a unique body type that makes him hard to overcome.
Price development: At its peak, Varane was over 300,000 coins, but this has significantly decreased in recent weeks. Now, in March, we are in the 80,000 range, which should make Varane an option for more players.
On the next page, you will find two more offensive and one more defensive option. We will also take a look at two players to watch.

Are you troubled by teleporting enemies in Destiny 2? Especially now in Season 13, more pronounced and frequent than ever? Bungie now explains the reasons for this and promises improvement.
What is the deal with teleporting? Anyone who has played Destiny 2 for a while is likely familiar with this phenomenon: All of a sudden, an enemy that just a fraction of a second ago felt like it was moving 50 meters away from you is suddenly right in front of your nose. Or suddenly disappears completely from view. Or the scoundrel simply teleports right in front of your gun from somewhere.
This teleporting of enemies is particularly annoying in endgame activities such as the raid or the tougher Nightfalls, but has been increasingly noticeable in certain activities for some time now. But why? And is anything being done about it? Bungie has now addressed this in the latest edition of their weekly blog post, the TWaB.
This is what Bungie says about teleporting enemies
According to player feedback, teleporting has increased since the release of Beyond Light and even now in Season 13, it is still annoying. The developers have not gone unheard of this, and Bungie has taken a closer look at the whole matter.
With the release of Beyond Light, the teleporting of enemies has increased
Why are the enemies teleporting at all? There can be different reasons for this.
Among other things, it is apparently a kind of assistance mechanic in the game. Because as Bungie says: They would rather teleport a boss stuck behind a door than make it impossible for players to complete a mission due to this circumstance.
On the other hand, according to Bungie, it may also be due to the networking logic of the game. And it is exactly here that the focus of it all is seen.
The problem explained: The origin of the increase is said to be due to the Destiny 2 update 3.0.0, where Bungie made some changes “under the hood.” Already at that time, the studio warned that they expected some side effects as a result.
In this context, there were, among other things, changes to the network. Before update 3.0.0, the game had two “streams” of network traffic:
one for gameplay simulation things like AI
and one for processing activity-specific things like playing music, displaying mission objectives, or playing dialogues
The major update 3.0.0 came with Beyond Light
With update 3.0.0, these 2 traffic streams were combined into one. However, the effects of this merger were underestimated. Bungie illustrates this with a metaphorical example using the highway:
Previously, there were 2 highways with different types of vehicles.
Then one was closed, and a larger highway was planned for all vehicles.
However, they underestimated the incoming traffic and now have to add additional lanes to ensure smooth operation.
These activities and enemies are particularly affected: Additionally, there seems to be another factor that currently has a massive influence on this teleport phenomenon, causing much additional traffic on the highway – namely the numerous Cabal enemies. The enemies frequently use a flamethrower in the current Season 13. According to Bungie, these strain the network significantly – especially on the battlefields where many of them gather.
The Cabal: Not just in the game, but apparently also “under the hood” a danger – especially with flamethrowers
Generally, in the Season of the Chosen, there are several encounters filled with enemies. Making all these AI units appear quickly – as is the case on the battlefields – can also promote teleporting, as the networking pipelines are overwhelmed with traffic.
What about improvements?
Improvements are already being worked on. Among other things, some improvements for flamethrower units and their efficiency are expected to arrive in a new update – apparently still in March.
There are also supposed to be general revisions in some areas. Where enemies appear in unfavorable places and then teleport due to problems with their pathfinding.
In addition, work is already underway on improvements that are supposed to help with network traffic. It is expected that this will reduce teleporting. However, it will not be able to completely eliminate it – for example, due to player-side internet hiccups.
What have your experiences been? Are you regularly annoyed by teleporting enemies or are you hardly affected by this phenomenon? Let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.

The raid bosses of Pokémon GO have changed again today, on March 6, 2021. In this overview, we show you which bosses are now active and which are worth it.
What is new? New raid bosses for levels 1, 3, and 5 appeared today in Pokémon GO. The Mega bosses, however, remained unchanged. We’ll tell you which new Pokémon have come to raids and why some of them are worth it.
All current raid bosses in March 2021
You’ll see this here: In the following table, we list all the bosses you can currently find in Pokémon GO. Keep in mind that you can also catch bosses marked with an asterisk (*) as shiny. To see the shiny form, you need to be lucky after defeating them.
Which raids you should do now depends individually on your goals. We look at the raid bosses that serve well as attackers in your collection and are therefore worth it:
Kiesling – The evolution Brogloss is one of the strongest Rock attackers.
Boreos – Is available as shiny due to the event. However, it is not so strong in battle.
In the coming weeks, a lot will happen in the game. The developers have already announced that some events will take place. From spotlight hours to new raid bosses, to multi-day bonuses. You can find all events in March 2021 in Pokémon GO here.

On March 5, the Bundestag voted positively on an extension of youth protection in the internet and social media. Games with ‘gambling-like mechanisms’ are to be considered harmful to youth in the future.
What exactly is going on? With a reform of the Youth Protection Act, the government wants to ensure that children no longer come into contact with games that offer a high purchasing incentive.
Specifically, the paragraph concerning “developmentally harmful media” is to be expanded. This includes, for example, games with excessively frightening violence. A corresponding section should in the future be expanded to include this content, among other things:
This particularly includes risks from communication and contact functions, from purchasing functions, from gambling-like mechanisms, from mechanisms that encourage excessive media use, from the transfer of inventory and usage data without consent to third parties, and from age-inappropriate purchasing appeals, especially through advertising references to other media.
For the extension of the Youth Protection Act, the parties SPD and CDU voted in favor. The FDP and the Left voted against it, while the Greens and the AFD abstained. Thus, the adjustments were officially approved.
What could this mean? Games that currently offer loot boxes or comparable content could in the future only be approved for those aged 18 and over, as these contents could be classified as harmful to youth.
This was also stated by lawyer Julia Maris to the magazine Spiegel. It also states that Minister for Family Affairs Franziska Giffey wants clear symbols and signs of violence, but also traps for costs.
It is unclear how far the law will go and which games could be included. Because points like “communication and contact functions” or “purchasing functions” can be found in almost all online games. Also, there are significant differences regarding loot boxes depending on the game.
Loot boxes have been hotly debated in recent years
What are loot boxes? Loot boxes have been very popular in online games for several years and are used in many different games.
Loot boxes are chests or other items that can be opened, yielding random rewards – the loot.
Usually, loot boxes can also or even only be purchased for real money.
They contain a range of items, with the best or prettiest ones usually being very rare.
Often, there is no clear overview of what items are available and what chances one has to obtain them.
Loot boxes exist in many games, including Overwatch or Genshin Impact, which even heavily relies on the gacha mechanic.
What is the problem with loot boxes? Many players view loot boxes critically. Players see them as money-making schemes. Instead of being able to buy an item directly, one only buys a chance to obtain it, which is often not even made transparent and can be very low.
Another problem is Pay2Win, meaning that players can buy an advantage for real money.
In 2017, there was a huge outcry over the release of Star Wars Battlefront 2. The loot crates there could be earned in-game as well as purchased for money. However, initially, Star Cards were included. With these, the characters could be improved.
The loot box was therefore not merely cosmetic but also provided a gameplay advantage, which fans of the series saw as a Pay2Win mechanism. This led to a great debate and calls for boycotts.
What is Pay2Win? Pay2Win refers to buying strong advantages in games for real money, with which one can clearly outperform other players.
For some, this starts already with boosters for additional gold or experience, allowing players to level up or upgrade faster than others. For others, Pay2Win is only evident when players get an advantage with real money that players without spending money cannot obtain regardless of how much time they invest.
What do supporters of loot boxes say? Fans of these chests enjoy the element of surprise. You open a chest and do not know what to expect.
However, for many, the fun only goes so far when cosmetic rewards are received. In Pay2Win situations like in Star Wars, many see a boundary being crossed.
The exception FIFA? The situation with the sports simulation FIFA is somewhat curious. Here, there is a mode called Ultimate Team, where packs for the best football players can be opened and bought. The strongest are also very rare here.
In FIFA’s packs, many see a definite Pay2Win, which is somewhat more accepted for some reason than in other games. It is similar to collectible card games – whether online or offline. They generally meet with greater acceptance among the masses.
Children repeatedly spend a lot of their parents’ money
On MeinMMO, we have reported multiple times that children handle money carelessly due to their lack of understanding:
The satirist Jan Böhmermann targeted the game Coin Master in 2019. From his perspective, it was the perfect example of how children are taken advantage of.
The mobile game has no age restriction and relies on colorful and childlike graphics. However, players can invest money to progress faster. Moreover, the principle of Coin Master resembles that of slot machines. You can find the full story here:
Loot boxes are considered gambling in Belgium and the Netherlands
How do other countries deal with loot boxes? In Belgium and the Netherlands, loot boxes are already considered gambling. They may only be offered in games for players aged 18 and over. Game developers react differently to this:
In the MMORPG Guild Wars 2, certain content from the shop is no longer offered in these two countries, including the Black Lion Chests.
There has also been discussion about a ban on loot boxes in Germany. This came up in 2018 in connection with Star Wars Battlefront 2.
What is the future of the law? Although the Bundestag voted positively on the amendment, it does not mean it will come into force immediately. The Bundesrat can still impose a veto.
The law will only be officially enacted once the responsible minister or minister and the Federal Chancellor have signed it, it has been promulgated by the Federal President, and published in the Federal Law Gazette.

WoW: Shadowlands is still withholding some answers from its players. We will show which questions Blizzard definitely still needs to answer.
The starting content of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has largely been completed. Even the more casual players should have wrapped up all quests and mastered the raid Castle Nathria by now. However, despite a lot of story being handled in the Shadowlands, many questions remain unanswered. In many places, Shadowlands has even raised more questions than it has answered. We will look at the 5 questions that Shadowlands definitely still needs to clarify.
1. What happened to Tyrande Whisperwind?
While most covenants had a relatively focused story that concentrated on a single issue, the Night Fae campaign was an outlier. Here, the focus continually shifted between three problems:
The Drust as a threat to Ardenweald
Bwonsamdi and the souls of the Loa
Tyrande Whisperwind and her issues with the powers of the Night Warrior
While the Drust are defeated and the Loa saved, the resolution of the last point fizzles out completely. The fate of Tyrande Whisperwind remains uncertain. Night elf players had hoped for more here.
Tyrande’s fate is uncertain. Her daughter is desperately trying to help her.
So far, all we know is that the powers of the Night Warrior are slowly but surely consuming Tyrande and will kill her if no intervention occurs. Additionally, it is clear that she is currently in the Maw and in Torghast, searching for Sylvanas Windrunner.
It is conceivable that Tyrande will appear in the battle against Sylvanas in Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination. Hopefully, there will be more information here and a reasonable, provisional conclusion to her journey as the Night Warrior.
2. Which soul did the Jailer use?
During the Torghast questline, players were treated to several cinematics that revealed numerous details regarding the story of Anduin, Sylvanas, and the Jailer. Not only were important characters like Jaina, Baine, and Thrall rescued, but insights into the Jailer’s actions were also provided.
Whose soul does the Jailer hold in his hand? Is it even important?
Especially interesting was the forging of the Rune Blade. Anduin’s sword was reforged to become a runeblade similar to Frostmourne. In the corresponding cinematic, there is a brief scene that clearly focuses on the Jailer and his actions. He reaches into a rift and pulls out a blue crystal, presumably a soul.
There is much speculation about whether this was just meant to look nice or if it has a deeper significance regarding which soul was used.
The most common theory is that it is the soul of Arthas or Ner’zhul, both of whom were the respective Lich Kings before. After all, we know that Arthas’ soul was thrown into the Maw by Uther. Whether it will be used by the Jailer for his purposes is still unclear.
3. Who is the sister of the Winter Queen?
The main story of Ardenweald was quite gripping and was well received by many players. Especially the finale with the rescue of Ysera was rewarded with a really nice cinematic. However, a small sentence from the Winter Queen raised players’ eyebrows.
In an attempt to save the wildseed of Ysera, the Fae come to the Night Queen and plead with her to provide the wildseed with Anima. However, the Winter Queen does not seem particularly thrilled about it and states:
“That comes from my sister.”
“Why should I save her pet?”
In fact, the Winter Queen did not want to help at all. Because Ysera is the “pet” of her sister.
Although she ultimately agrees after some persuasion and helps Ysera to be reborn in Ardenweald, one question remains unanswered:
Who in the Nether is the sister of the Night Queen?
Essentially, there are only two candidates that really could be considered.
The obvious answer would be Elune. After all, it was the Moon Goddess herself who lifted Ysera’s soul to the stars at her death in Val’Sharah and then sent her to Ardenweald. If Elune were the sister of the Night Queen, it would mean that Elune also watches over a realm of the Shadowlands and is herself also part of the “Pantheon of Death.” There are indeed many more realms in the Shadowlands than just the four we visit.
This is also supported by the music played in the cinematic. The night elf music plays, and at precisely the moment where a female voice sings “Elune Adore”.
A second possibility could be Eonar. After all, it was the Titan Eonar who blessed Ysera (and Alexstrasza) long ago and gave her the power over the Emerald Dream. Since the Emerald Dream is a kind of counterpart (Ardenweald represents autumn, while the Dream represents spring), it is possible that Eonar is seen as a kind of “sister” of the Night Queen.
It is to be hoped that Blizzard does not keep the fans in the dark for too long. Because the interplay between the souls, Elune, Eonar, and the Night Queen could become quite interesting.
4. Where is the Primus?
Another unsolved mystery of Shadowlands is the whereabouts of the Primus. He is actually the head of Maldraxxus, but has been absent for quite some time. There are several theories about what happened to the Primus, but no final statements yet.
While many players suspect that the Runecarver might be the Primus, who was captured early on by the Jailer, there are still some doubts about it.
Is the Runecarver the Primus? It could be possible – but there are also counterarguments.
For example, the appearance of the Primus in his representation in Maldraxxus does not match that of the Runecarver. The number of fingers, for instance, differs. However, this could also be a mistake or a deliberate alteration to prevent the Runecarver’s identity from being immediately revealed.
Blizzard still needs to provide an explanation or at least reveal where the Primus has gone. Only then can all Maldraxxus followers sleep peacefully again with their monstrosity cuddled up.
Lastly, the biggest question of Shadowlands remains unanswered: the origin of the entire expansion.
After all, the Anima drought in the Shadowlands occurred because the Arbiter was attacked and disabled in Oribos. Where she usually partitions souls into different realms, now all souls are directed straight into the Maw.
The attack on the Arbiter first triggered the chaos.
But where did this attack on the Arbiter come from? Clearly from a world of mortals, as the “red shard” shot out from the heavens along with the flow of all souls.
This must have happened during the times of WoW: Legion because we know that Ysera was one of the last souls to transition into the Shadowlands before the system collapsed.
The collapse of the machinery of death must have occurred sometime during the course of the storyline of Legion. But which soul could have been the trigger? Was it even a soul from Azeroth?
Do you have any other questions that Blizzard definitely needs to answer? Which story’s outcome are you waiting for the most?

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has become the downfall of a fugitive prisoner in England. He risked and lost his regained freedom for the shooter.
Currently, it’s actually the new Season 2, new weapons, or the new zombie mode Outbreak that are the talk of the town in CoD Cold War. However, a curious incident has now occurred as CoD Cold War apparently made a fugitive prisoner end up back in jail.
About this fugitive: The 36-year-old Clint Butler had actually been serving a 17-year prison sentence for robbery and illegal possession of weapons – until 2024.
However, in November 2020, he managed to escape from the open prison of “HMP Spring Hill” in Buckinghamshire. Since then, he had been wanted by the authorities until January 13, 2021.
What exactly happened? Apparently, it became too boring for the fugitive in his hideout during the intensified lockdown measures over time. On January 13, 2021, he left his hideout and ventured out with a friend for a quick shopping trip.

During this, his conspicuous behavior drew the attention of police officers, and he was apprehended after a brief attempt to flee and a scuffle with the police in front of a store.
The curious part: Apparently, the reason for his outing was the latest CoD installment – that is Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. According to the police, Buttler wanted to buy the new Call of Duty because he simply couldn’t sit around during the lockdown anymore.
How did it all end for Butler? After Butler was caught, he was sent back to prison.
His outing to buy CoD Cold War earned him an additional 19 months in prison – 13 months for the escape and 6 more for the assault on police officers during his arrest in connection with his shopping trip.
It’s not the first time gamers have run into trouble with the police. A player violated his country’s COVID regulations because he absolutely wanted to play Pokémon GO:
