The world of Valheim is still full of secrets that players can discover. One of them is a secret fourth ship that no one has been able to build so far. As an admin, you can take a look at it, but no one knows the recipe.
What kind of ship is this? It is an unnamed “Trailer Ship.” It is comparable in size to the largest ship so far, the Longship. It shares the same shape and the same cargo space for loot.
The big difference is that on the “Trailer Ship” you have a kind of pavilion on the deck under which some crates and barrels are stored, and that round shields are attached to the railing. However, these are currently without texture and can only be seen as outlines.
The “Trailer Ship” (front) compared to the Longship. The design is identical, the empty circles on the railing are unfilled round shields.
You can board the ship, load it, and even take a seat, but you cannot steer it. The rudder is attached but cannot be used, so the ship must stay in place. The sail is always reefed.
How do I get the ship? Similar to the secret sword Dyrnwyn, you can currently only obtain the “Trailer Ship” through admin commands. To do this, you must be the host of your own server or enter your own world. You then get the ship as follows:
open the console by pressing F5
type “imacheater” and confirm to activate the commands
type “spawn Trailership” and confirm
the ship will appear in front of you and then fall to the ground, so you should only do this in water
Unlike Dyrnwyn, you cannot use the ship. With Dyrnwyn, at least with the fire cores, there is a metal that is likely used for the sword. Currently, there is no indication that the “Trailer Ship” can be built. If you destroy it, you get the same materials needed for a Longship.
The name of the ship may be an indication that it is a leftover from development. Presumably, the ship is only intended for demonstration purposes and is simply a “trailer” – not for actual use.
However, so far, only about half of the content of Valheim is actually in the game. More content is coming along with at least three new biomes, of which we already know: Mistlands, Ashlands, and the Deep North.
So the “Trailer Ship” might eventually have a purpose, after all, it is already in the game. It would be a shame to leave such a pretty vessel unused.
If you generally like the ships in Valheim but can’t use them as often as you’d like, there is a trick. To sail more often with your Karve or Longship, simply dig a canal across the islands. With the right technique, this can be done almost anywhere and even works for loaded ships.

The action MMO Warframe is getting new content in spring 2021. We spoke with a player who has over 7,800 hours on the clock. Here’s what she told us about the current status of Warframe.
This is Warframe: Warframe is one of the MMO games that have been on the market for years now and successfully brings one update after another.
Since its release on PC in 2013, the shooter has grown and has been released on Steam, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch. It is also playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S through backward compatibility. Currently, Warframe enjoys about 58,000 active players daily on Steam (as of 1.3.2021, via SteamCharts).
In the game, you take on the role of a “Tenno” who can use the abilities of powerful armors created by a fallen civilization: the Warframes. In action-packed battles of the MMO shooter, you slaughter your way through hordes of enemies to:
Play through the exciting story of Warframe,
Obtain and upgrade new Warframes,
Find stronger weapons, equipment, and mods,
Customize your ship “Orbiter” to your liking,
Collect cosmetic items and become the best-looking Tenno in Warframe.
What’s coming in Warframe: For spring, the developer Digital Extremes has announced new content. There are new enemies, missions, and a new Warframe. Therefore, we asked a Warframe expert from the MeinMMO community about the current status of the game.
Feynrath has spent over 7,800 hours in Warframe on Steam, of which 2,778 hours are pure mission playtime. So she knows the shooter inside out. Here’s what she had to say.

Here is the trailer for the new content in spring 2021
No end in sight
MeinMMO: What is the current status of Warframe from the perspective of someone who has been playing for a very long time? How is the game doing?
Fey: Actually quite good. The player community is still present. Players come and go like in any other game.
Through Epic, a large wave of new players has come in again. It feels like the average age of players is getting younger. Especially through the Epic Game Store, as many younger players play Fortnite through it.
A lot has changed since the release:
There are more cinematics in the main story, although it is still not fully completable. The game has gained a story over the years. It was completely without one in the beginning.
The content goals have become increasingly larger (for example: Eidolon Fields, Railjack), so the developers couldn’t keep up. Digital Extremes recognized the error and scaled back the size of the content.
Test servers have been implemented to allow players to test already programmed content and provide feedback.
Constant updates continue to regularly bring new Warframes and weapons (Prime Warframes usually every 90 to 120 days).
Otherwise, not much has changed in my view. The status is therefore still stable to good.
Prime Warframes and weapons are particularly stylish versions of the normal Warframes and weapons, which have higher base stats and are generally stronger. While the normal frames are based solely on the special technology of the fallen Orokin civilization, the Prime versions are genuine Orokin technology. Not every Warframe or weapon has a Prime version, but they are gradually being provided by the developers. For example, Octavia Prime was announced in the spring update.
MeinMMO: How is the mood in the community? Do you think players are currently satisfied with the content or not?
Fey: Mixed. There are many players who say that current content should be worked on first until it works mostly bug-free. Especially in Railjack and in some missions, there are still bugs present that have been around for years. According to long-time players, these need to be fixed.
Whether players are satisfied with the content is difficult to say again. New players do not grasp the abundance of content that Warframe offers. Older players quickly figure out what works how and then unlock the content for themselves.
What do the new contents in the spring update offer?
MeinMMO: Warframe developers presented a series of updates for spring 2021. What is your opinion on this as an experienced player? What are the highlights?
Fey: There are three. Railjack update, Corpus Liches, and the new Warframe Sevagoth.
Regarding Railjacks: I’m critical about the Corpus Railjack. Railjacks are huge spaceships with which you can engage in space battles against NPCs. You control them together with other players.
Railjack will receive another overhaul, which I hope will benefit the system. Players will be able to control Railjacks alone with the update, which was not possible before. They can also hire an NPC crew that they can equip.
New missions for the Railjack are also coming. What ends up coming out of it, I can’t say just yet. Railjack is not one of my favorite activities.
Regarding Corpus Liches: The Corpus Liches, special strong enemies, are also rather critical. They are supposed to be easier to handle than the Grineer Liches, but how this will be implemented is still to be seen. Honestly, I’m not particularly looking forward to it, as the Grineer Liches have already taken away a lot of “friends” or “anticipation” from me.
They simply take a long time. To kill them, you need to farm items that are randomly mixed each time. And at the beginning, you don’t know which items you need to kill the Lich.
This could also apply to the new Liches. So it may happen that depending on how well or poorly it goes, you could spend 4 to 5 hours on a single Lich.
The Corpus and the Grineer are two enemy factions in Warframe that you can fight against. The Liches belonging to these factions are special personal enemies that may appear in your missions. These enemies can only be defeated in a very specific and elaborate way.
Regarding the new Warframe: The new Warframe Sevagoth is coming as a quest frame, and I’m actually looking forward to it the most from the entire update. New frame, new gameplay mechanics, something new to color.
The concept is good so far. It is a ghostly Warframe that has a shadow form. The shadow form can be controlled by players and has three unique abilities of its own.
The implementation of the abilities and the frame remains to be seen, as it has only been presented once so far. Often abilities have been changed and adjusted during a testing phase.
Whether this will be a frame that can be completely farmed through the quest (which I would be very happy about) or a frame where only the blueprint comes from the quest is still not clear.

MeinMMO: Do you think now is a good time to start with Warframe?
Fey: Yes. But that’s actually always the case. With the new tutorial, it has become a little easier for new players to get into the game. Otherwise, the chat is still available for almost any questions and is usually helpful when something comes up.
MeinMMO: What would you recommend to new players who are just now starting in Warframe? Can you give 4-5 different tips?
Fey: Between 4 and 50 would have been easier (laughs). Ok:
Take your time. At first, it’s simply too much information to absorb all at once. The game doesn’t guide you very well after the tutorial, so set yourself a goal like “I will unlock the star map” at the beginning. That helps focus and not feel so lost.
Try to complete missions independently or with a friend of similar experience before the experienced players simply carry you through the missions and you learn nothing. So set the group search to either “Solo” or “Invite only”.
You start with 50 Platinum on PC, which is the premium currency in Warframe. Spend it most sensibly on a Warframe slot and two weapon slots. Cosmetic items can always be acquired later once you have enough Warframes and weapons. Also, the real-money currency in the game is tradable. Just don’t jump into trading too early.
Listen and read. Warframe gives an incredible amount of tips through Lotus and Ordis, mentioned in a “side conversation.” Especially in quests, they tell you exactly what needs to be done to complete the quest.
Everyone was once a beginner. Don’t hesitate to ask questions in the in-game chat. There’s often someone who takes the time for your questions.
Play in a way that you have fun. That’s the most important thing about it all!
By the way, we recommend Warframe as one of the best free shooters in 2021. You can find more in our article:
You can find it here: On the next pages, you will find all 12 focuses that you can equip in Season 13 of Destiny 2. We will start with what you consider the weakest class and move up to the ultimate PvE killer.
You will get a brief overview of the focus, its features, and which Exotics were specifically designed for the class. Since we had a similar survey in 2020, we also presented what has changed since then.
We wish you a lot of fun!
Rank 12 – Arcstrider (Hunter)
Arcstriders land with 65 votes (2.22%) in 12th and last place.
What distinguishes Arcstriders? This subclass represents the agility and skill known by all Guardians and feared by their enemies – no other focus is harder to hit. They wield a staff of pure lightning energy as a weapon.
These specializations have Arc Hunters:
Arc Staff (Way of the Warrior) – The specialization focuses on powerful melee hits and agile evasive maneuvers that complement each other perfectly and charge one another.
Arc Staff (Way of the Wind) – Do you always want your abilities faster than everyone else at hand and be able to escape in any situation? Then this is the specialization for you. Additionally, the closer you come to death, the more dangerous you become.
Whirlwind Shield (Way of the Storm) – With your skills with the Arc Staff, dodging becomes unnecessary. You can block even the strongest attacks and throw them back at your enemies.
Strike like the lightning, be terrifying like the thunder.
Description of the Arcstriders
Use these Exotics:
Raiden Flux: The chest armor significantly improves the duration and damage of your Arc Staff super and lets Hunters whirl across the battlefield almost indefinitely.
Handschlag des Lügners: The gloves turn Hunters into deadly melee fighters who have already beaten Raid bosses with them.
Placement 2020: Last year, the Arc Hunter also took the last rank. Back then it was 9th place with 7.12%.

In Call of Duty: Warzone there are numerous hidden areas where special items or strong loot await. Some of these areas are now completely accessible with the new Season 2 – for example in Stadium.
What kind of loot spots are these? It’s about the secret rooms in Stadium, which were originally intended for the secret Enigma blueprint of the CR-56 AMAX. Until now, players needed blue keycards to enter these rooms. These cards were scattered throughout the stadium.
Now the rooms can apparently be accessed freely. They are open even without the keycards and are filled with loot. This is shown by the reddit user errlloyd in a short clip:

What can you find here? Apparently the rooms are full of crates with legendary weapons, killstreaks and equipment. Some users under the post even demand that the creator delete the post again. They see their loot area in danger.
If you want to drop there yourself, you should be careful. It’s likely that word has spread that there is a lot to be gained in Stadium and you will quickly encounter opponents there.
This is the criticism: Players seem to be bothered by the fact that the Easter eggs from Warzone are being removed from the game. This severs the connection to Modern Warfare and shifts Warzone towards Cold War, as user DesignatedDonut1 argues on reddit.
This has been a problem for a while. Already in January, many players were angry about the integration of Cold War. Some of the weapons like the DMR 14 and the MAC-10 that the new installment brought are considered to be much too strong. They demanded that everything be removed again.
On the other hand, reddit user IamMrMacgee argues that the removal of MW Easter eggs is probably more due to the fact that the Verdansk map is soon to be retired. He believes that after the current Outbreak event, there will likely be an end to the map. So far, it looks like everything points to a massive explosion and a new map in April.
Where can I find more loot? Those who want to explore Verdansk a little longer now have even more opportunities to get strong loot with Season 2. There are new silos full of loot that work similarly to the bunkers on the map. Here, too, you don’t need keycards; the silos are simply open.
If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a bit more challenge, you can try to blast through the new zombies on the map. At the shipwreck, you will find a new event where you need to kill 40 zombies. For this, you will receive a yellow keycard that leads you to a special loot crate nearby.
What great loot areas have you discovered?

Shinies are rare and popular in Pokémon GO. However, there is often the question of why other trainers get a shiny and you don’t. We debunk the myth.
This is what Shinies are: These shiny Pokémon are extremely rare and differ from regular monsters. Instead of the usual color, the Shinies are different in color. They don’t have any special effects from the shiny effect, but they are rare collectibles.
There are some myths surrounding Shinies. The shiny probability varies among different trainers, you get fewer Shinies than others, and generally, new trainers are favored when it comes to Shinies. But is that true?
Shiny probabilities and the background
Why am I not getting any Shinies? To briefly answer this question: Because you simply have no luck.
There is no data suggesting that certain trainers are favored over others. It doesn’t matter whether you just started or have been playing for years. Every trainer has the same chance of getting a shiny.
Shinies usually have different colors, but they are also quite rare.
How likely is a shiny at all? It depends on the shiny. A normal shiny in the wild has a chance of about 1 in 450 to 1 in 512. Analysts are not entirely sure about this.
What is certain is that you have to click at least 450 potential Shinies to have an expected value of 1 for a shiny. This means that while you can get a shiny much earlier, it also means that you may not see a shiny on your screen until well after 450 checks.
However, there are also Shinies that are much easier to obtain. This is because they are only available in raids or hatch from eggs. There are also Pokémon in the wild that are significantly more commonly shiny. These include, for example, Scyther or Pidgeot.
For all details regarding the exact shiny chances of Pokémon and what exceptions exist, you can find out here:
You need to understand this: Just because you clicked on 450 Pokémon of one kind does not guarantee you a shiny. It can also go much worse, and you might only get a shiny after 1000 Pokémon.
It often seems that you have clicked on hundreds of specimens and still did not get a shiny. For this, check the Pokédex before the introduction of a new shiny and remember how many specimens you have already seen. Then go shiny hunting, and if you think a shiny is really overdue, check the Pokédex again. Were those 450 Pokémon you clicked on? If not, then you are not unlucky; you are still well within the probabilities. If so, then you actually had bad luck. Unfortunately, you can’t change that.
Are there tricks for more Shinies? In the console games of Pokémon, you can increase the chance of Shinies. For this, you should only catch one species of Pokémon to increase the chance. Unfortunately, this is not possible in Pokémon GO.
You always have the same probability, which also varies among different monsters. However, you cannot change this chance.
The result is: If you want more Shinies, you have to play more. But even that doesn’t guarantee more Shinies.
Here, we at least give you a few tricks on how to get more encounters with Pokémon, so you generally have more chances for Shinies:
Play in areas where many Pokémon generally spawn and plan your routes along these areas.
Clicking is enough – if you’re not quick at catching, you should rather do shiny checks. Just click on the Pokémon and flee again if it is not shiny.
If you still want to catch the Pokémon, use the catch trick – this helps you catch Pokémon faster and potentially allows you to click on more monsters.
Particularly rare are regional Shinies that you can only catch in specific locations around the world. An overview of all regional Pokémon in the game can be found here:
The YouTuber Corpse Husband has achieved his major breakthrough within a few months. Now he expresses his heartfelt thanks to his fans. They apparently saved him and kept his mother from homelessness.
Who is he? Corpse Husband has been active on YouTube for five years, but only achieved his major breakthrough in the last few months.
He can only play games that require relatively few movements. At least, privately, many things have changed for the better. Thanks to his fans, as he now emphasizes.
No one knows the exact identity of the popular YouTuber.
“A month later, I would have been done”
This is what the YouTuber says: In a stream, Corpse Husband thanked his fans, starting with the words “I want to tell you a little story.”
He then talks about the situation he was in before his streaming career took off: “I would be absolutely at the end right now if I hadn’t come up at the time I did and if you guys hadn’t helped me as much as you have.”
He then addresses his financial situation, which was apparently extremely critical at that time: “I would be completely broke right now, with [all the] medical bills. I’m now paying my mother’s rent, she is physically impaired and can’t work.”
“I would be in medical debt and would constantly be unable to attend my appointments. My mother would be homeless. You guys really came at the right time.”
How close things were for him is revealed again: “It’s crazy for me. A month later, I would have been done. So much crap. The timing couldn’t have been better. So, thank you guys, for everything.”

This is how the breakthrough happened: Corpse Husband stands out with his particularly deep voice and sympathetic demeanor – even though he never shows his face. The first videos published by the now 23-year-old Corpse Husband at 17 occasionally dealt with horror stories sent to him by viewers.
His breakthrough came with the release of the board game Among Us, which he played with major streamers like Valkyrae or PewDiePie. By now, the YouTuber has over 7 million followers.
What do you think of the story? Are you a fan of Corpse Husband? Do you know similar stories? Write them in the comments.
Developer People Can Fly has released an initial mini-update for the demo of Outriders on the servers. What does Patch 1.4 bring? Here are the patch notes.
Just a few days after the release of the Demo of the loot shooter Outriders a first update was released. However, this is more of a mini-update.
The patch notes may suggest that more updates could come before the official release of the game. MeinMMO summarizes everything about Patch 1.4 for you.
What’s in the Outriders demo update
The patch notes: According to People Can Fly, Patch 1.4 does not bring any direct changes to the demo itself. On their official Twitter channel, it merely states that the update brings improvements for fundamental systems.
It literally states: “We are bringing updated builds to PC and Playstation, Xbox will follow later next week. This way we can improve our backend analytics systems that are used for balancing and troubleshooting.”

What does this mean? Basically, the developers want to prepare to better track which content needs improvement in the future. So it is a kind of preparation for subsequent updates, presumably for both the demo and the release.
When was the update released? Patch 1.4 (1.004.000) was released on February 27 for PS4 and PS5.
Here are the download sizes:
PS4: 220.8 MB
PS5: 314 MB
What about the other platforms? The update should actually have already been applied on PC. However, there is no update available for download on Steam.
The version number has also not changed. It is possible that the update has already been installed in the background for you. The update for Xbox consoles is expected to follow next week.
This is currently unclear. The patch could indicate that more bugs are already being fixed in the demo. The demo has been struggling with some technical issues:
In Pokémon GO there is a new Special Research about the Rocket Boss Giovanni. We will show you all the steps and tell you how to solve them.
What kind of Special Research is this? In line with the Raid Day in Pokémon GO, the Rocket Boss Giovanni has also returned. To defeat him, you must complete the Special Research “Skyward Flight” first.
The research involves battles against Rocket Grunts and in raids. During the Special Research, you can earn a Super Rocket Radar, which gives you the opportunity to encounter Giovanni.
All steps for Skyward Flight in Pokémon GO
This is what the questline looks like: There are a total of 6 stages, each with 3 tasks. After completing a stage, there is always a set of rewards.
Now there’s an overview of all the individual steps awaiting you in the Special Research.
Skyward Flight 1/6:
Task
Reward
Win 1 Raid
15 Poké Balls
Defeat 3 Team GO Rocket Grunts
3 Hyper Potions
Catch a Shadow Pokémon

Stage Reward: If you complete all the tasks, you will receive 10 Razz Berries, 10 Nanab Berries, 10 Hoppip Berries as a reward for completion.
Skyward Flight 2/6:
Task

Catch 5 Shadow Pokémon
1 Sun Stone
Land 3 good curveball throws in a row
15 Ultra Balls

Defeat Rocket Boss Sierra
1250 XP
Stage Reward: If you complete all the tasks, you will receive 2500 XP, 1000 Stardust, and a Super Rocket Radar for Giovanni as a reward for completion.
This is how you accomplish the task: Defeating the Rocket Bosses can be quite tricky. We will assist you here with counter guides:
Stage Reward: If you complete all the tasks, you will receive 3000 XP, a Charged TM, and a Fast TM as a reward for completion.
This is how you accomplish the task: Here you must fight and defeat Giovanni. To do this, you need strong Pokémon that are effective against him. We show the best monsters against Giovanni in our counter guide:
Stage Reward: If you complete all the tasks, you will receive 2 golden Hoppip Berries, 2 silver Razz Berries, and a Raid Pass as a reward for completion.
Stage 6/6 is already automatically completed. Here you can only collect rewards.
What does Giovanni then bring? If you fight Giovanni, the Rocket Boss uses a Shadow Mewtwo until March 1, and afterwards a Shadow Articuno against you. You can catch this Pokémon after a victory.
We recommend that you do not purify Shadow Mewtwo or Articuno, but leave them in their shadow form. They are significantly stronger there, even if the purified form may have better IVs.
Do you need to solve more Special Research tasks? Currently, there is still a Special Research about Shiny Mew. However, you must have been a participant of the Kanto Tour. We will show you all the steps for that here:
The new video of the heroine Hu Tao in Genshin Impact is getting great responses on YouTube. Within hours, it has already amassed over a million views, and a day later it is nearing two million. Particularly, one word seems to delight many players.
What kind of video is it? The video shows a teaser for Hu Tao, the director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue. In the short clip, the lively, cheeky lady is seen trying to scare the viewers a little.
Hu Tao is known as a prankster who enjoys playing tricks, and this is reflected in the video. She is accompanied by a spirit, which apparently also belongs to her skill set in Genshin Impact. We have already summarized the gameplay details about Hu Tao shortly after the trailer’s release.
About seven hours after its release on February 27 at 5:00 AM German time, the video had already garnered over a million views (via PCGamesN). By now (February 28 at 11:30 AM), the counter stands at over 1.9 million. The teaser receives extremely positive ratings of 210,570 upvotes to just 951 downvotes.

What excites the players so much? Looking at the comments, it quickly becomes clear that many players are simply delighted by Hu Tao’s personality. Her cheeky demeanor seems to be very well received. However, two other details are also frequently mentioned.
The first of these is the word ‘Aiya’. This is a Chinese expression that conveys surprise or frustration or is used when someone is annoyed (like: ‘oops’ or ‘hmpf’). The word itself appears to be cute to many players, and they are delighted by the way Hu Tao pronounces it.
The second detail is Hu Tao’s companion, the little spirit. Players wish for it to be a companion in the game, and they apparently can hardly wait to finally play with it themselves.
Many players complain about patch 9.1 of WoW: Shadowlands, even though it is not out yet. However, Cortyn from MeinMMO is optimistic and explains why.
The BlizzCon was a little over a week ago, and the dust around the new information about World of Warcraft: Shadowlands and the patch 9.1 Chains of Domination is starting to settle.
But while many of you seem dissatisfied with the patch – which at least many comments in the WoW forum and subreddit suggest – I am quite satisfied. Patch 9.1 delivers everything I expected from the update.
But let me break that down for you in detail.
Sanctum of Domination – 10 Bosses Again
The centerpiece of patch 9.1 Chains of Domination will be the Sanctum of Domination; a new raid with a total of 10 bosses.
Especially, Blizzard is really stepping up here, even though the raid Castle Nathria was already quite good. If you listen to the community here, the general opinion seems to be that Castle Nathria was the best “first raid” that World of Warcraft has ever had in an expansion.
The Sanctum of Domination will have 10 bosses – just like Castle Nathria.
The fact that there will be big characters like Kel’Thuzad and Sylvanas Windrunner makes me even more excited.
Another raid with 10 bosses is quite extensive, promises an exciting “World First” race and enough content for players like me who enjoy raiding normal and heroic.
Of course, we still don’t know if the fights will be as cool as those from Castle Nathria. But the sheer number of bosses suggests that the Sanctum of Domination will be interesting for several months if the balancing is somewhat right.
The Story – Anduin Just Arthas 2.0?
It is also frequently read that the story writers from Blizzard are out of ideas and simply recycle old ones. This criticism is mainly directed at the latest cinematic “King’s Ransom”.
The transformation of Anduin as the jailer’s servant is dismissed by some mockingly as “Arthas 2.0” or “Arthas, but ordered from Wish.” This comes alongside the criticism that they are pulling out old stories instead of continuing the narrative.
And I truly do not understand this criticism. Of course, Anduin in his current position is something like Arthas 2.0. That was precisely the point of it all. Because the first Lich Kings (Ner’zhul, Arthas, and Bolvar) did not yield the results the jailer wanted, Anduin was now shaped into a weapon.
Just Arthas 2.0 – Yes … and no.
This is not “unimaginative” or “recycling” – but the logical next step for the jailer’s goals. He improves his methods, becomes more powerful, and exerts stronger control.
In addition to the raid, there’s also a new dungeon. Tazavesh will be a “mega-dungeon”, a smaller raid for 5 players in terms of size. It revolves around the Brokers and a secret market where the Brokers auction off various items.
The second part is then a wild chase to stop a particularly ambitious Broker from using a powerful relic from Azeroth.
There are voices saying that Tazavesh does not fit into the story of patch 9.1. And that is fundamentally true, just as Mechagon did not fit into the Nazjatar update back then.
Tazavesh is about the Brokers.
But it doesn’t have to. Tazavesh can be a nice “B-plot” and as the developers revealed, the mega-dungeon is intentionally meant to contrast with the darker storyline of patch 9.1.
This way, there are also some amusing, colorful contents and not just depressive darkness in the clutches of the jailer.
Long-term, the mega-dungeon is also good for players. Because by patch 9.2, you could expect that Tazavesh will return in the form of two new “Mythic+” dungeons, thus expanding the available dungeon pool from 8 to 10.
This benefits everyone who likes to complete mythic keystones and wants more variety.
Covenant Campaign, Soulbinds, and More
In addition to the two big content pieces for groups, there are also new contents for solo players. The small sub-zone of Korthia continues the Covenant campaigns, bringing new one-time and daily quests with fresh story in a new area.
Additionally, there are pets, mounts, and other collectible items. So basically a paradise for collectors, as it has been the case in Shadowlands so far.
Also, the existing Covenant features will be expanded. Soulbinds will get new abilities, the media will become stronger, and there may even be some brand new media.
New sets for all Covenants are also available.
The previously effective system of reputation (also called fame) remains unchanged. With 40 new fame levels, there is again progress to unlock. Latecomers won’t have to wait long but can catch up to the current point.
There’s little for me to complain about here. Experiencing something new each week and gradually getting stronger has been a positive experience – at least for me. Oh, and we are unlocking flying too.
Of course, there are still a number of unknown factors. It is quite possible that some of the new features will turn out to be less than expected.
If Torghast only gets 2-3 new cosmetic items with low drop chance, then I would see that more negatively.
The release date is also uncertain. Even if I calculate optimistically, I wouldn’t expect a release before the end of May – probably rather late in June.
This is likely to show that the COVID-19 pandemic has indeed caused some delays for the WoW team. But honestly, I can live with that, as it leaves plenty of time to earn some of the rewards that are already available in Shadowlands.
Primarily, however, I am optimistic. This is because Shadowlands is more popular than many of the previous expansions. In my opinion, the developers are on a pretty good path with Shadowlands – so why change the formula when small adjustments are completely sufficient?
But what do you think about it? What are you looking forward to and what annoys you about patch 9.1?
Usually, raids in Destiny 2 can be attempted with a maximum of six Guardians. Now players have discovered a glitch that allows you to start with more people.
What is this glitch? Normally, raids in Destiny are designed for groups of six players. With the help of a bug in the player matchmaking, players can now also start a raid with up to 12 Guardians.
In dungeons and nightfalls, smaller groups allow for up to 9 players. This is not the first glitch of this kind. In July 2020, Guardians ended up with up to 20 other players in a strike.
Apparently, the glitch has been in the game for a while (via Forbes.com), but it’s only now becoming widely known. How does it work?
Have you ever wanted to take down a raid boss with 12 people?
Timing is key
This is how the glitch works: To start the raid with 12 players, you must join through the matchmaking feature. Timing is crucial here.
You must join another player at the start of the desired activity with your team.
This must happen just when the timer counts down to 0 before the start.
This works best if you join directly with a team of 6 or 3 players instead of individually. Then only the group leader has to catch the right moment.
The easiest way to do this on PC is through the join codes, as you just have to enter the code and confirm at the right moment. The glitch also works on consoles, although it seems to be significantly more difficult there.
In the YouTube video by Cheese Forever, you can see how this looks:

If your timing is right, you can participate in raids with up to 12 players, and in Nightfall and dungeons with up to 9 Guardians.
However, you should hurry if you want to try this out. The community manager has already commented on the glitch on Twitter. Bungie is likely aware of the glitch and will probably fix it as soon as possible.
Under the community manager’s comment, however, many players wish that this does not happen. They celebrate the opportunity to start raids with more Guardians.
What do you think of the glitch? Have you discovered it yet? Should it stay in the game, or will raids then become too easy? Do you want a general increase in group sizes?
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, one can quickly become a noob when making certain mistakes repeatedly. This is something that MeinMMO author Eilyn Rapp has noticed, who after 3 years is still a noob. You should avoid these 5 mistakes.
This is my situation in Fortnite: Fortnite can be tough, as not everyone plays at the same level. One would think that experience would mean one plays well. However, this is not necessarily the case, as even though I’ve been playing for 3 years, I’m still a noob.
What is the reason? Are other players just getting stronger or could it be my own mistakes that prevent me from progressing? Even if one doesn’t want to admit it, yes, I’m to blame for still making these noob mistakes after 3 years.
These noob mistakes I still make
Here I present to you a few of the mistakes I’ve been making in Fortnite for years that make me a noob. Maybe you can identify with a few things or you can be glad you’re not making them and learn something from it. But as a tip: Don’t make these mistakes!
Wrong sensitivity settings
What does this mean? In Fortnite, you can set how quickly you want to turn around. This can vary from player to player, as it also pertains to one’s own reaction. This setting is important because it will determine how you react to an attack from an opponent.
If the sensitivity is not set correctly, you can quickly tell. The person either turns too slowly or too quickly. This behavior is often observable in noobs, and unfortunately, I am one of them, as I still haven’t managed to find the right setting for myself.
What does this mean? Noobs like me tend to waste a lot of time looting. Whether to avoid a fight or because one desperately wants to find the best equipment. This isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s not required.
If you spend almost the entire match looting, you’ll often end up against a strong opponent who eliminates you quickly. You feel almost like a loot supplier, right? Perhaps we could go directly into a fight where we at least have a chance, as you also get loot from the opponent and even a kill!
When there were treasure maps, I could search for ages just to get nice loot
Cannot land properly
What does this mean? When starting a round in Fortnite, you first get placed in a bus and then have to jump out over the map and land. It’s actually quite simple, but as a noob, the first problems already arise there.
If you don’t master the landing, you will always be the last at the landing spot and get ambushed by opponents. You should always pay attention to the display that shows how far you can glide down before the glider activates. Unfortunately, it’s not always so easy to implement.
What does this mean? If you want to be successful in Fortnite, you need to master building and editing. However, that is unfortunately not so easy, as you have to press countless buttons, and opponents are usually faster at it.
After 3 years, I still can’t build properly, even though there are several options in creative mode and maps where you can practice building and editing. Perhaps I should really use them more often if I don’t want to remain a noob forever.
I would probably take hours for such a work of art
Hiding before every fight
What does this mean? The round is in full swing, and you hear an opponent nearby – how do you react? Others would probably prepare for a fight and launch an attack, but I find a hiding spot and hope not to be found.
Hiding may help in some situations, but if you do get found, you’re trapped and can’t do anything against the attack. If I were braver, I might gain the upper hand beforehand and ambush the opponent.
This is probably how I look when I hide from opponents in a round
When looking at your own mistakes in detail, you quickly realize that you are to blame for still being a noob. I should probably work on these mistakes and finally take tips from better players. Instead, it often happens that I even have to lie to my husband because I am a noob in Fortnite.
How about you? Do you still make these mistakes or have you improved in them a long time ago?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The developer of the popular Steam hit Terraria has publicly taken on Google: Because they banned his account on YouTube, the App Store, and Gmail, he has simply canceled the release of Terraria on Google Stadia. This apparently showed effect.
This is the situation: Andrew Spinks (37) is the head of the indie studio Re-Logic, which had a massive hit with Terraria back in 2011. The game, with its pixel art style, was released for PC 10 years ago and has since made its way to practically every system: It has also achieved enormous success on Google’s mobile platform Android.
Google does not appreciate its customers and partners. One does not want to do business with such a company.
Because Google had suspended Spinks’ accounts three weeks earlier. He could no longer access his data on Google Drive, could not check his emails, and could not finish watching “The Lord of the Rings in 4K.” This apparently hurt him the most.
“You do not deny a man his Lord of the Rings Extended Edition in 4K and expect to get away with it!”
Andrew Spinks
From Spinks’ perspective, he had done nothing that justified the ban. His complaints and emails to Google did not get through. He wrote: The people at Google would just refer him from one to another.
So he angrily canceled the release of Terraria on Stadia.
Unmistakable art style: This is Terraria.
Google unbans accounts – Terraria is coming to Stadia after all
This is how it turned out: The developer’s company, Re-Logic, has now issued a new statement. It now says:
“After months of pressure (and thanks to the immense support of our fans), Google has finally contacted us and brought a lot of transparency to the situation. They have given us back access to all our accounts.”
Statement from Re-Logic
Now Terraria will actually be brought to Google Stadia – Re-Logic will use the latest build from DR Studios 1.4.0.5. That one is already at Google Stadia for certification.
No statement has yet been given by Spinks regarding his successful unbanning coup. He is surely busy finishing “The Lord of the Rings in 4K.”
Terraria is among our 25 best survival games that you can play in 2021:
The popular ARK: Survival Evolved on Steam and consoles will end in 2021 with the last DLC ‘Ark Genesis Part 2.’ However, the development of the final expansion is taking longer than expected. The new release date is May 26, 2021, for Steam, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One/Series X, and Stadia.
This is how the release date has changed:
ARK Genesis Part 2 was initially supposed to be released in 2020
That didn’t happen either: The new ‘even firmer and final release date’ is May 26, 2021, for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Stadia
Players deserve an “epic finale” and “something really special”
Why the second delay? The team says it’s due to the pandemic. Since the beginning of 2020, all dino developers have been working from home, and the transition to virtual working has proved challenging.
Furthermore, they want to put a lot of effort into Genesis Part 2 because it represents the last DLC of ARK. It’s a labor of love: They want to deliver something “truly special”. The players deserve an epic finale. And they are confident that the expansion will deliver just that.
What does the expansion bring? The DLC ‘Genesis’ is the finale of ARK Survival Evolved. Part 1 was released back in February 2020 – it too was delayed by several months.
Is ARK then over? The development of ARK: Survival Evolved will conclude in May 2021 with Genesis Part 2, but it has been known for some time that an Ark Survival Evolved Part 2 is coming. For the second part of the dino-MMO, Studio Wildcard even managed to get Vin Diesel on board:
Garena Free Fire is a battle royale for iOS and Android and is the biggest shooter in the world. Now more than a million cheaters have been banned there within 2 weeks. It is even broken down what exactly the hackers have done.
What is Free Fire? Garena Free Fire, also known as Free Fire Battlegrounds, is a battle royale from a company based in Singapore. The game was released on December 4, 2017, and has since become very popular.
Why do we hear so little about the shooter here? Garena Free Fire is a free shooter for smartphones. Its gameplay is similar to well-known games like Fortnite or PUBG:
You fight in an arena against 49 other players
The goal is to be the last survivor
You jump out of a plane and land at a location on the map
There, you search for weapons and other useful items to eliminate your opponents and survive longer.
There is even a German localization for the game. Nevertheless, it is relatively unknown here. This is primarily because shooters tend to be played on consoles or PCs here. CoD Mobile is a small exception.
An insight into the game is provided by the German YouTuber Black Rabbit
Cheaters and hackers love free-to-play shooters
Not only does Garena Free Fire have a problem with cheaters. The issue has also come up almost constantly in recent months with the shooter Call of Duty: Warzone.
The cheaters are often people who stay in the background. However, even among the pros and even on live camera, cheating has occurred. We have collected the most blatant cases here:
On Pokémon GO the Kanto Raid Day starts on Sunday, February 28. You can find out how to make the most of the event here.
When does the event start? The Kanto Raid Day begins on Sunday, February 28, at 11:00 AM and runs until 2:00 PM.
It is, in a sense, the endpoint for the last Kanto events: The Raid Day follows the Kanto Week, which ended on Saturday. Moreover, on Monday, the start of the Legendary Season will already take place.
Now the focus is on the Raid Day. And how to make the best use of it, we will look at in detail here.
These raids await you: During the three hours of the Raid Day, the legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres will appear in Level 5 raids. The shiny version will also be available – so it could be an interesting timeframe for shiny hunters. Overall, they belong to the list of strong attackers in Pokémon GO – especially Moltres.
In the past, Raid Days always brought a three-hour raid at each gym.
The right counters against Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres on Kanto Raid Day
How to defeat the monsters: To effectively combat the birds, you should rely on the right counters. While you can manage with three people, it’s better with 4 to 5 players.
Moltres is a really good attacker
How to defeat Moltres: The best counters against Moltres are primarily rock combinations like:
Rhydon with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Rhyperior with Rock Wrecker and Smack Down
Terrakion with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Tyranitar with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Gigalith with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Aerodactyl with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Landorus with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Ampharos with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Geodude with Rock Throw and Rock Slide
Charizard with Wing Attack and Ancient Power
However, you can also attack the Pokémon with water and electric monsters. Furthermore, the shadow forms of some monsters can inflict significant damage if you have them. This especially applies to Shadow Tyranitar. Mega Evolutions like Ampharos or Blastoise are also effective.
Zapdos also has problems with ice
How to defeat Zapdos: Against Zapdos, you should also use rock, but ice is also effective.
Use for example:
Rhydon with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Rhyperior with Rock Wrecker and Smack Down
Terrakion with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Mamoswine with Powder Snow and Avalanche
Galarian Darmanitan with Ice Fang and Avalanche
Tyranitar with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
Glaceon with Ice Shard and Avalanche
Landorus with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Mewtwo with Confusion and Ice Beam
Snorunt with Ice Shard and Avalanche
Here too, shadow monsters like Mamoswine, Tyranitar, or even Mewtwo can work particularly well. Mega Abomasnow is also a strong counter.
Even against Articuno, Rhydon is worthwhile
How to defeat Articuno: Against Articuno, you can also make good progress with rock, but you can also use fire, electric, or steel.
The best counters are:
Rhydon with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Rhyperior with Rock Wrecker and Smack Down
Terrakion with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Tyranitar with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
Gigalith with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
Ampharos with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Darmanitan with Fire Fang and Stone Edge
Alolan Geodude with Rock Throw and Rock Slide
Excadrill with Metal Claw and Stone Edge
Reshiram with Fire Fang and Rock Slide
Shadow monsters like Tyranitar, Ampharos, or Metagross are also effective.
In short: If you go out Raiding, you should just put together a really strong rock team – then you will be well prepared against all the birds.
Free Raid Passes for the Raid Day
How to get Raid Passes: To ensure you can participate in raids, there are up to 5 free Raid Passes during the event. You can obtain them by spinning gym and PokéStop discs.
Furthermore, between Saturday, February 27, at 10:00 PM, and Monday, March 1, at 10:00 PM, you can receive a box with 3 Remote Raid Passes in the shop.
What is Team Rocket planning? During the event, Team Rocket will also make an appearance. Even boss Giovanni is back – there will be a new Rocket Special Research where you can rescue a new legendary shadow Pokémon at the end.
The monster will be Shadow Articuno. Giovanni’s team will likely change as well. The best counters against Giovanni may therefore only be partially effective. For the battle against Articuno, a strong rock Pokémon is recommended again.
Even the Rocket bosses must be defeated
Defeating bosses: Before you reach Giovanni, you will likely first have to defeat the Rocket bosses Sierra, Arlo, and Cliff to assemble the Super Rocket Radar. The best counters against the three can be found here:
What about frustration? The problem with shadow Pokémon is that they usually only know the move “Frustration” and are not particularly useful. However, during the event, you can use Charged TMs to teach your shadow Pokémon a different Charged Move. Since shadows have an attacking bonus over normal monsters, this can be worth it.
The best Pokémon to unlearn frustration have been summarized here for you. Because some monsters can become really dangerous with frustration unlearned. This includes of course Mewtwo, but other shadows can also rise to be the best attackers in the game with a new move.
Another streamer has been banned on Twitch. This one was only playing in GTA Online. However, the place he was hanging out in was probably the problem.
What is it about? The streamer RatedEpicz is often on the well-known roleplaying server NoPixel 3.0 of GTA Online. Players move through the fictional state of San Andreas and the city of Los Santos, which is heavily inspired by Los Angeles.
The city is quite realistic, from the deserted suburbs where crime is everyday life, to the banking districts with their skyscrapers.
On this server, RatedEpicz was live streaming but apparently in the wrong place, because shortly thereafter he was banned by Twitch.
Role-playing is very popular in GTA Online. Many streamers regularly play on various RP servers. Many others watch as well. Recently, GTA Online even hit number 1 on Twitch.
Is the Vanilla Unicorn Twitch too risky?
Why was he banned? No official reason has been provided. The streamer suspects (via Dexerto.com) that his visit to the Vanilla Unicorn might have been the cause. RatedEpicz was there as part of his role-playing.
Was the streamer punished for visiting this establishment?
This is a strip club that solo players from the GTA 5 story might also know. So far, there are no known larger cases of problems for streamers due to visits to this club.
In the case of RatedEpicz, however, Twitch issued a ban as he writes on Twitter.
The displayed content could fall under the rules for “adult content.” Twitch frequently takes action against such content and issues bans.
However, the ban did not last long; after nearly a day, RatedEpicz was “freed” again. Nevertheless, many of his followers are now discussing Twitch’s banning policy.
tiotheberk writes, for example: “Twitch is literally trash…it’s sad to see how the platform that got me into watching streams treats its partners.”

Since February 25, players can try out the demo of the new shooter Outriders. There was a lot of criticism in the comments on MeinMMO, but our survey shows: The majority thinks the demo is good.
Here’s what it’s about: For a few days, shooter fans can try the demo of Outriders, the new game from Square Enix and People Can Fly. After the initial reactions were rather divided and a somewhat negative atmosphere prevailed in the comments on MeinMMO, we conducted a survey about the demo.
In various articles about Outriders, we asked you how you found the demo, and it seems it didn’t receive as much backlash as initially thought.
Here’s how you voted: A total of 2,173 readers participated in the survey. Each of you had one vote to cast. Here is the distribution of the votes.
“How did you find the Outriders demo so far?”
Good: 34.7%
Very good: 28.03%
Okay: 20.02%
Not so good: 11.64%
Really bad: 5.61%
Over 60% of all respondents liked the demo. While 34.7% rated it as “good,” 28.03% even found it “very good.” It was received positively by a large portion of the MeinMMO readers.
For another 20.02%, the demo was okay. Not exceptionally exciting, but not particularly bad either.
The demo was rated negatively by a total of 17.25% of MeinMMO readers. 11.64% found it “not so good,” while it was truly bad for 5.61% of you.
In the Outriders demo, you can try all 4 classes of the game.
“A mix of Destiny, The Division, and Anthem.”
What you said about the demo: In the comments on our Outriders articles and also on Facebook, you left numerous comments with your opinions.
Basically, many of you agreed that Outriders borrows many elements from other similar shooters. Comparisons to games like Destiny, The Division, Anthem, or even Gears of War were very common.
Sure, it reminds a bit of Destiny, The Division, and Gears of War, but that’s not a bad thing. […]
Chrisian G. on Facebook
“I didn’t expect a revolution in the genre.”
What the positive voices say: In the comments, some readers were positively surprised by Outriders. Some of you went into the demo with low or no expectations after being disappointed by other games in the past.
The shooter doesn’t stand out with particularly fancy graphics, innovative gameplay, or bombastic presentations, but it still managed to leave a good impression.
For my part, I feel quite entertained.
I certainly didn’t expect a revolution in the genre. […] I think it’s on track to become a solid title. Kind of like a tasty snack in between.
I’m looking forward to it and will definitely have some fun with my buddy. Hope they get the technical issues sorted out, and then we can get started.
MeinMMO reader Shoulderdeamon
From the positive comments, your hope also spoke that the technical flaws of the demo would be fixed by the release on April 1.
You are not overly hyped about the game, but you recognize and name the problems that Outriders should work on before the release, such as bugs or many loading screens. Still, some of you will take a closer look at the game when it is released in April.
There are rough edges, but all in all, it will be a casual co-op shooting gallery with friends. And since fun should be the priority, the game can already offer something in that regard. It’s not Gears […] and also not The Division, no, it’s Outriders and we’ve only seen a snippet of something that can be much better than currently suspected. And since nothing else is coming in April, it’s a solid game for a few hours.
MeinMMO reader Max Mustermann
What I really like is the setting – beautifully dark and dirty, and I also find the way the story develops at the beginning is nicely done. I don’t know what to complain about regarding the German dubbing; all professional speakers and well staged.
So all in all, I think the game is great, it just needs some polishing in certain areas – the cut scenes are supposed to run smoothly at 60FPS in the release version. […]
MeinMMO reader Maledicus
With a bit of fine-tuning and polishing, Outriders can become a solid game that entertains well. Even if it probably won’t take thousands of hours like Destiny, since it is not a “Games-as-a-Service” game.
More about Outriders on MeinMMO can be found here:
“Gameplay is not as good as The Division or Anthem”
What the negative voices say: However, the criticism of the Outriders demo was numerous. Especially the graphics, which do not meet next-gen standards, and the gameplay were criticized in many comments.
The demo unfortunately feels very rough on the PS5. The gunplay is quite weak; the weapons have no impact at all. It feels like shooting with water guns. The videos stutter and frame drops occur. The synchronization often doesn’t match the lip movements. Graphics pop up and jerk unnaturally (capes, etc.). Overall, it feels very unpolished.
MeinMMO reader Kornelius
I find the gameplay by far not as good as in Division or Anthem. The atmosphere also does not reach those two titles. The journey to the first end boss bored me as well. […] The level design was monotonous regarding the covers, even if the landscape around is nicely done. To be honest, I would rather replay Anthem from the beginning than buy this; I would probably have more fun.
MeinMMO reader Markus
In general, negative comments criticized that the gameplay feels outdated and not cohesive. Some also experienced performance issues and FPS drops that spoiled the fun of playing.
Other criticisms included:
The jumping was missed.
Aiming with the controller does not feel good.
Cut scenes are limited to 30 FPS. Although this cap won’t be in the finished game, it still bothers you.
The German player Kimimoto has released a curious video about League of Legends. In it, his champion Warwick defeats the jungle creature Baron. However, the player is not at the PC using his abilities but briefly goes AFK to the restroom.
What exactly happened? About minute 20 in a LoL match, the player decides to defeat Baron while he is actually AFK.
He simply clicks on the jungle creature, allowing his champion Warwick to perform the auto-attack. Within just 50 seconds, Warwick manages to kill Baron.
30 seconds later, the player is then attacked by another player. Just in time, Kimimoto returns to the PC and even manages to eliminate an enemy.

Why is this so special? Baron is the strongest jungle creature in League of Legends. Generally, you only attack it when you have an advantage on the map or are acting quickly as a group.
However, the player chooses to take down Baron solo and even goes AFK while doing so. A great risk, also because enemy players could notice this and kill him or steal Baron.
Both could turn the game from a fairly safe victory into a defeat.
Warwick benefits from insane lifesteal
Why does the solo kill even work? The champion Warwick has an interesting passive ability: Insatiable Hunger.
As a result, he deals additional damage with every attack.
If Warwick falls below 50% health points, he is healed for that damage.
If he falls below 25%, he even receives 150% of the damage as healing.
Additionally, the player has already done good preparation. He had 9 kills and 1 assist and therefore a lot of gold. Through the item “Blade of the Ruined King,” he gained even more lifesteal.
In the video, you can see in fast motion how quickly Warwick’s health points go up and down.
What criticism is there? In a reddit thread about the video, there are critics who believe that the entire action was staged. They are bothered by two things:
On one hand, the enemies do not react at all to the Baron kill. Only 30 seconds later does someone randomly walk by.
On the other hand, Kimimoto returns to the PC exactly at the moment he is attacked.
However, there are no actual signs of a fake. Even if the criticism were true, he still managed to kill Baron while AFK.
Curious videos about LoL are regularly published. Recently, we reported on a player who was just barely denied his pentakill. And the viewers suffered with him:
In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), many focus on the story and solo grinding at certain farming spots. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has leveled his newest character exclusively in dungeons, PvP, or world events, and was thus constantly with other players.
You can immerse yourself in the stories of the world of Tamriel for hundreds of hours, and especially aside from the main story, there is much to discover. That’s how I leveled my first character in the game.
But personally, I play MMORPGs mainly for the group aspect. Therefore, I built my newest character in a completely different way. I wasn’t involved in the story and didn’t just grind at certain spots, like my colleague Larissa Then.
Instead, I was constantly in groups and not only met nice people but also reached level 50 extremely quickly.
About the Author: Alexander Leitsch is an MMORPG expert at MeinMMO and has accumulated over 25,000 play hours in various titles. He is primarily active in games like Guild Wars 2, Black Desert, and The Elder Scrolls Online.
3 Methods that are quick and fun
How did I level up? Essentially, I did three things daily:
I ran a dungeon daily
I secured a victory in PvP
I visited the dolmens in the Alik’r Desert
With this method, I played only about 1-2 hours daily, but thanks to some leftover XP scrolls, I still gained 2-5 levels per day. Thus, I quickly reached level 50.
How does it start? Right from the start, I traveled to the Alik’r Desert.
You can do this by inviting a player who is already there into your group and traveling to them through the group menu. Alternatively, you can travel from Daggerfall to Stormhaven. From the city of Wayrest, a boat takes you to the desert.
You then complete the first levels just by doing the dolmens. These are massive world events that reward you with a lot of XP. Just type the phrase “+dolmen” in the general chat of the Alik’r Desert. This will usually get you invited to a farming group immediately.
The dolmens are world events where you must defeat enemies and destroy an anchor.
With the dolmens, you can hardly go wrong. The events are easy, the player counts are huge, and thanks to the group, you can always see which dolmen is being traveled to next.
The cool thing about it is that through these events, you not only connect with other players but often also with guilds. They often advertise in the chat. That’s how I found my current group. In addition, there were discussions in the group chat about the Super Bowl or other things, which I found very entertaining.
You complete the dolmens until level 10. After that, the random dungeons and PvP content will unlock, which you can access by pressing the “P” key.
Dungeons and PvP: For the activities, you can simply sign up with the appropriate role. As a damage dealer, you may have waiting times of 10 to 20 minutes, while it goes faster as a healer or tank. But please do not sign up as a fake tank, it is just annoying.
I usually used that time to complete more dolmens and thus earn half or a whole level.
The first dungeon completed daily usually gives you almost an entire level. If you also complete a dungeon for which you have not yet done the quest, you can gain almost 2 levels.
Also, the first victory in PvP rewards you with nearly a level. However, some experience is already required here, as otherwise, you usually lose and do not receive the bonus.
After the activities, I usually logged out and waited for the next day.
The group activities in ESO. Even after reaching level 50, they bring in good XP for champion points.
Why is this method so fun? For me, MMORPGs and fellow players are hard to separate. Even in Guild Wars 2, I always had the most fun with world bosses and massive map-wide events where a lot of players are around me.
With my method, I often conversed with others at the dolmens and dungeons, whether because I had questions or I could answer others’ questions, especially regarding boss mechanics in the dungeons.
My method is worthwhile if you play regularly but only for short periods at a time. It’s also helpful if you already have a bit of experience in ESO, especially for the dungeons and PvP. However, everyone can complete the dolmens.
Is it really not a grind? I must confess that there is a certain grind factor with the dolmens. However, with the dungeons, there is a large selection and corresponding variety. I also do not see PvP as a grind.
If you want to level up really quickly and get the most out of it, you can find the best grind spots and tips to get maximum XP here:
