In Pokémon GO, you can now purchase tickets for the event featuring Galar-Pantimos. At the same time, it has now been revealed how strong the Galar-monster will be. We will tell you if the ticket purchase is worth it.
This is new: In the Pokémon GO shop, the ticket for Galar-Pantimos has now appeared. It costs 8.99 euros and takes place on December 19 and 20.
Niantic has now also brought the values of the Galar Pokémon into the code of Pokémon GO, so we now know how strong the monster will be. We analyze for you whether purchasing the ticket is worth it.
Galar-Pantimos for 9 euros – Is it worth it?
Here are the values: Only the evolution of Galar-Pantimos, namely Pantifrost, becomes really interesting. Therefore, let’s look at its values:
Attack value: 212
Defense value: 179
HP value: 190
Maximum CP at level 50: 3196
This is Galar-Pantimos and Pantifrost
With these values, Pantifrost is solid but not a top attacker. Ice attackers like Mamutel or Snibunna are significantly better. The same applies to psychic attackers like Mewtwo or Espeon.
From a strength perspective, you don’t need to secure Pantifrost. You won’t miss anything.
Is it worth buying the ticket? Those who buy the ticket get access to Galar-Pantimos and enough candies to evolve Pantimos into Pantifrost. Otherwise, you won’t get Galar-Pantimos for now.
So, if you want the Dex entry now, you have to buy the ticket.
In addition to Galar-Pantimos, there are other rewards as well. These include encounters with 8 different Pokémon and various items that are worth more than 5 euros in total.
Now you have to weigh it yourself: Do you often spend money on the game? Then the purchase is worth it, as there are also items you would buy sooner or later. If you rarely spend money, you can save the 9 euros. Of course, you will miss the Dex entry, but it can be assumed that Galar-Pantimos will return later.
If you don’t buy the ticket, you won’t miss anything except Galar-Pantimos. The spawns that appear around this event are also available to trainers who haven’t purchased a ticket.
Currently, there is also stress in Pokémon GO about a new shiny:
A new event is upcoming in the RPG Genshin Impact. The little Paimon has the leading role – and will likely put the players to the test.
In Genshin Impact, most players are already mentally preparing for patch 1.12, but the developers still have something prepared before the release. Because tomorrow, on December 18, 2020, a new event is supposed to start in Genshin Impact. We will reveal all the info about it.
What kind of event is this? The developers announced the event “A Thousand Questions with Paimon” on Twitter. The event is set to start on December 18, presumably after maintenance at 4:00 AM.
In the announcement, it says:
Since they have experienced so many adventures in Teyvat, the Traveler must know a lot about the world by now!
The “A Thousand Questions with Paimon” quiz event starts on December 18! Don’t miss your chance to win Mora!
Interestingly, the event is announced as a “Beta.” This suggests that it is more of a test, which could explain why only Mora is advertised as a reward. Apparently, the event is to be tested live with the players.

Are there already any details? No. Aside from the start date, there is only the tweet from the developers, which at least vaguely suggests that it’s about a guessing game. Presumably, players will have to prove their knowledge about Teyvat and answer various questions. Here, players who have closely followed the quests and read the numerous in-game books should be successful… or simply Google the answer.
Paimon is usually lively – only sometimes really tiring.
Such quests, where one must shine with knowledge, have existed before in the game. For example, in one of the daily missions, one had to prove to a guard that they master the rules of the guards in Mondstadt. The more answers one gets correct, the better the rewards. It is therefore likely that the Paimon event will run very similarly.
However, we will probably only receive specific information tomorrow, on December 18, when the event actually goes live. Until then, you may eagerly leaf through the books of the game.
Hunters in WoW are currently completely overpowered – at least for the Night Fae. The Tank DHs can one-hit other players.
In recent weeks, many players in the PvP of World of Warcraft have considered Subtlety Rogues too powerful. They have also recently received a massive nerf. But another class can currently deal ‘oneshots’ in PvP – the Demon Hunter. Once again, the player Rextroy captured this in a video, taking out other players in the arena, in open-world PvP, or in battlegrounds with a single strike.
What is to be seen? A Demon Hunter seems to use only a single ability to charge at an opponent and send them from 100% HP directly to death. He repeats this over and over again, as the ability has a low cooldown of 90 seconds.

How does it work? Rextroy has brought his Demon Hunter to the Night Fae Covenant. There, Demon Hunters get the ability “The Hunt,” which is considered rather subpar. An offensive ability that, especially for the Tank Demon Hunter, causes massive spikes in damage. This is because the ability scales with the mastery of the Tank specialization but not with the DPS specialization. On a critical hit, this leads to damage numbers of up to 30,000 damage in a single hit. This is mainly because “The Hunt” does not deal physical damage, but nature damage, effectively bypassing armor.
The attack can be used together with other abilities such as Abyssal Strike and Flaming Corruption.
More about the fun class of the Demon Hunter can be found here:
Is this intended? Quite surely not. If a class can take out another player with roughly equal equipment in PvP within 2 seconds, it is highly likely that this is not what Blizzard intended. Therefore, it can be assumed that “The Hunt” will be adjusted in the coming days so that it does not deal as much damage for Tank Demon Hunters in PvP.
Have you also found such a strong combo with the Covenant abilities?
To kick off Season 1 ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and CoD: Warzoneall players on PS4 and PS5 with a PlayStation Plus subscription can now secure a new exclusive cosmetic bundle – the “Halfshadow” Combat Pack. The mini-DLC comes at no additional cost and is waiting for you in the PS Store. MeinMMO explains what’s included in the new Combat Pack DLC and how you can obtain it.
And for all players on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 who are PS Plus members, there are traditionally some exclusive contents. As a bonus, there is now a new mini-DLC with some additional cosmetic extras waiting for them in the PlayStation Store – the new Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War Combat Pack (Halfshadow).
Black Ops Cold War Combat Pack “Halfshadow” – The Contents
This is what to expect in the new Combat Pack for Season 1: This item bundle includes almost exclusively cosmetic items.
The contents of the new Combat Pack for Season 1
Here’s what’s included:
an epic operator skin for Sims
a legendary LMG blueprint
a legendary watch
a legendary calling card
an epic emblem
an epic weapon charm
Token for 60 minutes double XP
What are all these items for? These contents can be used in both the new CoD: Black Ops Cold War and in Warzone – also in the standalone free-to-play version.

How to get the new Cold War Combat Pack “Halfshadow”?
What you need: To use the operator skin, you must first own CoD Cold War and play on PS4 or PS5. You also need an active PS Plus membership. Because the pack is exclusively reserved for PlayStation Plus subscribers. For the other items, it is enough if you play Warzone on PlayStation.
This is how to get the new Combat Pack: This content can now be downloaded for free – without any additional cost. Here are 3 ways to do this:
Keep in mind that you must be logged in to download the pack.
Alternatively, you can also download this mini-DLC from the PS Store on your PS4/PS5 or secure it through the in-game shop of Cold War or Warzone.
What about other platforms? Players on Xbox and PC will not receive this free DLC. However, even on PlayStation consoles, you can’t access it without PS Plus. For how long – it is currently not known.
Note: With PS Plus, the standalone version of Warzone is completely free. Without PlayStation Plus, you must pay a one-time fee of 25 cents for age verification before the first download of the Battle Royale on PS4 or PS5.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Another point of criticism from players is that some of them do not own Modern Warfare at all. They previously played Warzone in the free-to-play model. Their tokens are thus useless unless they purchase the old Call of Duty instead of the new Cold War.

What do the developers say? Currently, there is no statement from the publisher Activision or any of the developers of Call of Duty.
However, it is possible that the missing XP tokens could be a bug and the frustration is unjustified. After all, significant changes have been made to Warzone, so the tokens may have been overlooked.
We from MeinMMO have already asked Activision for a statement on this.
In Call of Duty: Warzone, Season 1 started with Black Ops Cold War. Old XP tokens that players had collected in Modern Warfare were not carried over. Many players are venting their frustration on reddit. However, it could also be a bug.
Update December 19: You seem to have your XP tokens back. Many players are reporting that the tokens are back in their inventory and we also have the XP boosters back.
Many players wanted to use their XP tokens that they had saved up over weeks and months to level up the new weapons and their rank.
But these no longer work in Warzone, only in the multiplayer of Modern Warfare, as players report.
Tokens were purchased with real money and have now disappeared
What is the criticism? There are currently several threads in the Warzone subreddit that are in the top 10. Many users are angry because they cannot use their tokens. The user ourosoad summarizes the situation as follows:
So, I bought the Battle Pass for Warzone, earned tokens to use them in Warzone and now I can’t use them in Warzone anymore?
Warzone hasn’t suddenly become a new game or a successor, it is the same damn game.
The user received over 1,600 upvotes for his statement. Some players reported having more than 30 hours of buffs left that are no longer usable for them.
Another point of criticism from players is that some of them do not own Modern Warfare at all. They previously played Warzone in the free-to-play model. Their tokens are thus useless unless they purchase the old Call of Duty instead of the new Cold War.

The MMO New World has received a new update in the Alpha. This update focuses on adjustments to the combat system and a new weapon, the hatchet.
What is currently happening with the MMO? After a playtest event in August, New World disappeared again into a closed Alpha. Because there was quite a bit of criticism about the game and alongside the quests, the combat system in particular didn’t fare well.
In the latest blog post, the developers explained what has happened in December. In this, the next weapon, the hatchet, was introduced. Additionally, there are several adjustments to the combat system that are supposed to make it more action-packed and dynamic. Many changes sound as if New World is getting the combat system it deserves.
More dynamics through less waiting time and quick cancellations
What has changed? The list of changes is long. We present to you the most important adjustments that will make the battles more dynamic and interesting:
There is no longer a global cooldown on abilities of different weapons
Hit detection has been improved so that players do not hit nothing
A stunlock, as it was possible for a time with the axe, is no longer supposed to exist. Light and heavy attacks no longer interrupt the target
The recovery time after sustaining hits has been shortened
The recovery time after certain abilities (generally known as aftercast) has been reduced
You can now cancel abilities, attacks, and dodges earlier and more precisely to execute another action
Some animations have been adjusted to make combat smoother
You can now easily heal yourself by holding the “CTRL” key while using the ability
There is now a specific sound for a critical hit
Additionally, there have been balance adjustments for the bow, making it slightly weaker overall. However, it should still be the case that allied players can intercept the arrows with this weapon. Exceptions should now be large bosses that can still be hit.
The hatchet is the newest weapon in the repertoire of New World.
What is new? In addition to the adjustments to combat, the new weapon hatchet was also introduced. This is primarily supposed to perform “sweeping attacks”:
The Marauder skill tree focuses on high damage and multiple hits, with which you can carve through your opponents.
The Reaper skill tree focuses on controlling groups of enemies and preventing them from fleeing. With these abilities, you can control the course of battle while your allies finish off the enemies that have fallen for your trap.
Additionally, there is a quest for the legendary hatchet “The Reformation,” which players can start from level 60.
Another new feature introduced in December is the duel system:
All players over level 10 can start duels, regardless of faction or PvP marking
Duels cannot be started in settlements or during wars or invasions.
Players can start duels by hovering the mouse over another player’s name in the chat or menu and clicking “Invite to duel” or typing “/duel [player name]” in the chat.
If there is outside interference, the duel will end.
You can duel either solo or in groups of up to 5 players.
Since you do not get completely killed in a duel, there are no disadvantages and players can get used to PvP.
Until the release of New World, quite a bit seems to be happening with the MMO. When exactly the game will be released is still unknown. You can find all previous info regarding the release here:
Getting a PlayStation 5 is not that easy. Accordingly, the first prize in the upcoming Fortnite tournament is likely to be quite coveted.
That’s the thing with the PS5: Anyone who has been following the gaming world a bit over the past few weeks will have noticed fairly quickly: Getting one of the next-gen consoles is quite difficult.
If you really want one anyway? Then the upcoming Fortnite tournament might be worth a try. But, it should be said beforehand: Snagging the PS5 there is likely to be quite difficult as well.
The PlayStation 5 is hard to come by
This is how the tournament for the PS5 in Fortnite works
What kind of tournament is this? The “Fortnite Generations Cup” has been announced in Fortnite. It takes place on December 18 in a total of 7 regions around the world. In Europe, the tournament will be held between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
Who can participate? The tournament is not held on all platforms, but only on the PlayStation variants – that is, on the PS4 and also the PS5.
Another limitation: All players who have already reached Level 30 and have two-factor authentication activated can participate. You can find more about the tournament on the Epic Games website.
PS4 players can try to earn an upgrade, and PS5 owners will receive a second console. A PS5 would make a great Christmas gift or could be sold at a high price.
This is how to win: In each of the regions, there is a PS5 as the main prize. This means: One has to score the most points on a European-wide level to secure the console. Therefore, anyone who wants to get it will have to leave a lot of competition behind.
For placements up to 2,400, there are at least some cosmetic items in the form of a new outfit and back accessories to be won.

The 3 Best Players in TOTW 12
Here are the top players in TOTW 12: Looking at the overall ratings, several players stand out again. We will focus here on the top players in the current TOTW.
The highest ratings in the current TOTW 12
Toni Kroos has the highest card in the new TOTW 12 in terms of overall ratings. The 89-rated midfielder excels in passing, and his shooting and dribbling are also very strong. Only his pace of 55 severely hampers the Real Madrid player.
Jamie Vardy, on the other hand, does not have a pace problem. The Englishman received an 88-rated card that should be absolutely deadly in the attack. His pace, shooting, and dribbling are extremely well developed.
However, Vardy is not the fastest player in the TOTW. That title goes to Hirving Lozano, who received an insane pace value of 98. The Serie A winger is generally quite popular among FIFA players, and the new TOTW card (overall rating 86) is likely to be found in many teams with Serie A players.
The Bundesliga in TOTW 12
Some representatives from the Bundesliga made it into the current TOTW. Who is in this time?
Two Bundesliga players are involved
Matthias Ginter received an 84-rated card that shines especially in the defensive and physical areas. However, pace is again a drawback.
Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig gets his second Inform card, which has good stats for passing, dribbling, and shooting. The pace could be higher but is not catastrophic at 74 and can be improved with Chem Styles. The card could be a useful number 10 for Bundesliga teams.
With the two, that’s it from the Bundesliga, but with Sascha Mölders, another representative from the third league has made it into the TOTW. The striker from 1860 Munich received a card with an overall rating of 75.
Pokémon GO has introduced Shiny Geronimatz this week. However, many trainers are upset about the implementation, as the Shiny seems to be incredibly rare again.
This is the new Shiny: Pokémon GO has launched an event around Shiny Celebi, which will be available through a special research. Besides the hype surrounding the mysterious Pokémon, another Shiny has nearly been overshadowed: Geronimatz.
You can now encounter the monster in its shiny form. The problem, however, is that it is far too rare for many trainers.
Shiny Geronimatz – The new Kapuno?
What trainers are complaining about: There are several triggers that are the reason for the criticism:
Geronimatz cannot be found in the wild – only through raids or eggs, which can become costly in bulk
The raids for Geronimatz are incredibly rare – luck is needed to find one at all
The shiny rate seems to be poor – many trainers show their rates
Geronimatz is now available as Shiny – but it’s too rare for many trainers.
Here lies the big problem: Most shinies are introduced in Pokémon GO through the wild. During an event, you play a lot and have a good chance of getting the new shiny, as the spawn rate is usually increased.
With Geronimatz, however, this is not the case. You only get it through raids or eggs – meaning you need raid passes and incubators. If you want to increase your chances of getting a shiny, you have to invest real money. Otherwise, you can only do one raid per day and hatch only a few eggs depending on your play style.
On top of that, the raids are incredibly rare. Even if you want to spend raid passes, you often can’t find a Geronimatz raid.
In general, trainers are annoyed that a new shiny is hidden behind a paywall. Only those who spend money have better chances of encountering the shiny. Pure gameplay is not rewarded.
There was a similar case: Some trainers are already comparing Geronimatz to Kapuno. The shiny form of Kapuno was introduced in the summer, but it could only be incredibly rarely obtained from eggs. Many trainers accused Niantic back then of only wanting to make money from it and demanded that they finally disclose the drop rates of the Pokémon – just like with loot boxes.
This is what trainers are saying now: There are numerous threads on Reddit again that complain about the shiny rate of Geronimatz. Here are some examples:
BlueMysticNA: “My raid group has done over 500 Geronimatz raids in total. None of them were shiny. How about you guys? Niantic and these loot boxes…. what are the chances?”
reaper36a: “No Geronimatz raid has been sighted today in our city.”
Neilkd: “2 people in my community of 400 people have caught it [Shiny Geronimatz]. Although about half of us did at least 3 Geronimatz raids yesterday (we live in a big city).”
Environmental_Eye_61: “It’s pretty much the same fiasco as with Kapuno, but they’ve ensured to cover up the fact that Geronimatz doesn’t just occur in eggs this time, but also in raids.”
So you probably need a lot of money or a lot of patience and luck to catch a shiny Geronimatz. It remains to be seen whether Niantic will respond to the trainers’ criticism and make access to Geronimatz easier.
There is good news for trainers regarding spawn points:
ARK 2, the successor of ARK: Survival Evolved, was announced during the Game Awards 2020. The game will be released exclusively for Xbox Series X/S and PC. The community hopes that developer Studio Wildcard can address the performance issues of the predecessor.
What happened? During the Game Awards, ARK 2 was announced with a Cinematic Trailer. Reactions to the trailer, featuring Vin Diesel and recorded in the future engine, are mixed. Many users on reddit are already speculating and hoping that the performance in the new installment will be better than in ARK: Survival Evolved.

These are the community’s concerns: On reddit, the announcement of the new ARK 2 trailer was met with mixed feelings. In the thread with over 2,300 upvotes, there are numerous voices from the community.
The majority of users hope, as NicoTheBear64 and BradyT1314 do, that the trailer shown was indeed recorded in the game engine and that the game itself will be better optimized from the outset than ARK: Survival Evolved.
User Snow0031 is convinced: “In the trailer, you can see flickering shadows on a person in the background; it is 100% in-game!”
In another thread on reddit, concerns are raised that the shown orcs distract too much from dinosaurs and the actual theme of ARK. Users also doubt whether the balance between casual and hardcore survival players can be found in ARK 2.
ARK 2 will be released exclusively for Xbox Series X/S and PC. Through the collaboration with Microsoft, many users hope that the performance on next-gen consoles will be significantly better than in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This is what players are excited about: The appearance of Vin Diesel has been very positively received. Vin Diesel is not only the protagonist but also the executive producer of ARK 2 and the also announced series “ARK: The Animated Series.”
A small hype arose on reddit when it was announced that the Hollywood actor would be involved in ARK 2. Under the post by Scotte8797, a collection of quirky and funny ideas emerged:
Vin Diesel kills all mobs on the beach with his level 10,000 wyvern
He will guard metal deposits on his giga
A dodo or penguin army will definitely not follow Vin
In a tweet, Studio Wildcard confirmed that ARK 2 will have a full focus on next-gen. ARK 2 will feature an online multiplayer function, which will likely function as a sandbox similar to ARK: Survival Evolved.

ARK has been struggling with performance issues for years
The early access release of ARK: Survival Evolved in June 2015 was actually quite well received. Studio Wildcard continuously released new updates over time and brought more content to the game.
Between 2015 and 2017, Studio Wildcard continuously worked on the dinosaur survival. Many players complained during that time about FPS drops, long loading times, and overloaded systems. The community hoped at that time that performance would improve with the full release.
On August 29, 2017, ARK left early access and was released as a full-priced title on Steam. The negative reviews on Steam after release consistently report on lags and performance issues.
Steam user “Pusteblume” sums it up in his review of ARK: “After so many years still massively full of bugs… countless gameplay errors that just aren’t fixed […] The game is still in an alpha/beta state.”
In the last 30 days, ARK: Survival Evolved still received 89% positive ratings on Steam. Nonetheless, many reviews complain about poor performance, lags in multiplayer, and bugs.
With ARK 2, Studio Wildcard aims to deliver a next-gen spectacle not only for ARK veterans but also for dino and survival fans.
With top performance and a well-told single-player campaign, both ARK veterans and new players could be convinced. Those who had difficulties with the predecessor might dare a fresh start with ARK 2.
Despite all performance issues, ARK remains one of the best survival games. This is primarily due to the large community and a variety of mods. It remains to be seen whether ARK 2 can build on this popularity and solve the major problems of its predecessor.
What is your opinion on ARK 2? Are you looking forward to the new title from Studio Wildcard, or do you have concerns about the massive undertaking?

In Destiny 2, baking rewards you with gifts and event weapons. However, you will need a lot of Dawning Essences. MeinMMO tells you where to get them quickly.
What do I need Dawning Essence for? In Destiny 2, Christmas traditionally revolves around baking and giving cookies. To properly fuel your Festive Oven 2.0 during the 2020 Winter Event, you will definitely need Dawning Essences.
Only those who generously share their homemade treats throughout the system will be rewarded with gifts from the numerous NPCs in Destiny.
How baking works exactly and which recipes and ingredients await baking-enthusiastic Guardians this year can be found in the guide on MeinMMO:
That’s why baking is worth it: In the gifts, you will find upgrade materials, resources, and Glimmer. There is also Dawning Spirit, which you need for the Community Challenge 2020 and for your personal Christmas quest from Eva Levante – during which you pimp your exotic ship. There is also something for Triumph Hunters.
Additionally, there are 3 event-exclusive weapons in the gifts. Included are the two guns from 2018 and 2019 with new rolls, as well as a brand new weapon: the fusion rifle “Glacioclasm”.
How to get the important Dawning Essences in 2020
Do you want to bake as quickly and as much as possible to pile up lots of gifts to unwrap? Especially at the beginning of the event, there is a shortage of Dawning Essence on the account. And every recipe requires the essences.
Where do you find essences? Throughout the 3-week celebrations, you can collect essences simply by completing various activities. Upon completion, these will go into your inventory – but that takes time.
This is how many Dawning Essences you get for completing an activity:
Strikes: 20-25
Legendary Lost Sectors: 15-17
Woken Hunts: 10-15
Dungeons: 9
Crucible Match: 10-15
Strikes: 5-15
Public Events: 1-5
Patrols: 1
Farming Dawning Essences in Destiny 2
If you do not want to wait, there are also options to quickly farm Dawning Essences. We show you ways for solo players and team players.
This is what solo Guardians should do: Even without a fireteam, you can easily and quickly complete the Woken Hunts from Season 12. Thanks to the latest update for the Cryptolith Lure, you can now store up to 5 charges and go hunting multiple times. In just a few minutes, a hunt is finished and you are richer by 10-15 essences.
.The new Woken Hunts from Season 12 go quickly and you harvest many Dawning Essences
Alternatively, assuming a high power level and good gear, you can farm the Legendary Lost Sectors alone. Here you can farm 15-17 essences per run and even the new exotics from Beyond Light.
This is how to do it faster in a team: With one or two Guardians in the fireteam, the Legendary Lost Sectors at 1,250 go really fast. While you won’t have a chance at exotics, you can secure a charge of essences in 1-2 minutes.
Immediately break the activity as soon as they drop to save a few seconds before starting again.
Prepare for champions and equip some artifact mods or, for example, the exotic sword The Lament – this makes runs no problem.
Alternatively, start a Woken Hunt as a team.
It is important that the host who starts the hunt with their lure does not defeat the target.
Thus, you can leave the hunt afterwards, restart it, and the whole team will receive essences each time, without having to recharge the lure or search for the wounded target first.
A player has no problems against the boss alone
However, quickly farming Dawning Essences is only half the job. Clever Guardians also significantly reduce their essence consumption.
Upgrade the Festive Oven to Masterwork and Save a Lot
As already mentioned, each baking process consumes your precious Dawning Essences. However, you can significantly reduce the costs involved.
You need to upgrade your oven to Masterwork.
Then a batch of fresh cookies costs only 10 Dawning Essences instead of the regular 15.
To obtain a Masterwork oven, you must have baked each of the 21 recipes for the Dawning event 2020 at least once.
If you have been diligent in the past years, your oven remembers the recipes.
The oven consumes fewer Dawning Essences for each baking process as a Masterwork
This is how you should proceed: So first bake each recipe at least once. That way, you’ll quickly have the Masterwork oven. Then it’s enough to bake only the sweets you have the most ingredients for, or those that fit your playstyle.
If you like to swing your Solar sword The Lament and thrash Cabal, you’ll quickly gather “Sharp Flavor”, “Unbelievable Heat”, and “Cabal Oil”. This way you can bake delicious vanilla swords for Lord Shaxx on repeat. From his gifts, you will then draw the event weapons and resources.
Are you taking your time with baking or do you want to bake all the cookies as quickly as possible and grab the gifts? Do you even have more tips for the MeinMMO readers? Then feel free to share them in the comments.
The Tower Torghast in WoW: Shadowlands is causing criticism. Players are dissatisfied with the latest changes – rightly so?
The Tower Torghast is one of the new endgame features of World of Warcraft Shadowlands. Players can work their way through increasingly challenging levels to obtain Soul Ash for crafting a legendary item. However, what meant fun in the first weeks has now become a burden for many players.
What is the problem? The Tower Torghast was massively praised in the first weeks of WoW: Shadowlands, but not much of that remains now. The reasons for this are a series of hotfixes implemented by Blizzard. In recent weeks, Blizzard has:
Nerfed particularly strong anima bonuses
Significantly increased the health points of almost all enemies
Increased the strength of bosses and final bosses on levels
In summary, Blizzard has made the enemies stronger and the players weaker, resulting in longer runs and tougher battles.
Torghast – for many it has become “Choreghast”.
Here are the opinions of the players: For many, Torghast no longer feels like fun, but like mandatory work, or a “chore”. Therefore, some are now calling Torghast “Choreghast”. There are several reasons for this, but the buffs to the enemies that Blizzard has rolled out in recent days weigh the heaviest. On almost all levels, enemies now have more health points, extending individual runs.
Some players are extremely frustrated. For instance, user Justin_ml reports in the WoW subreddit that he spent nearly 90 minutes on Layer 7, only to be killed by the final boss within 5 seconds and be completely hopeless – with an item level of 198, which is currently quite good. Other players agree and have had similar experiences that lead to massive frustration.
In the WoW subreddit, there are now numerous posts with up to nearly 10,000 upvotes pleading to Blizzard not to ruin Torghast and to make it the fun game mode it could be again.
Are there dissenting voices? Yes. Some players believe that Torghast should indeed be difficult and that you should occasionally lose. This is simply part of “roguelike” games. These players argue that no one is forced to complete Torghast at the highest possible level. Those who fail on level 7 or 8 should simply play a lower level. After all, the highest levels grant only a small amount of Soul Ash and are therefore probably only really mandatory for participants in the “World First” race.
More updates around Shadowlands can be found here:
How can Torghast be saved? The community has many ideas on how to make Torghast more appealing and interesting again. Firstly, it is requested that the last hotfix be reversed – it had equipped enemies with significantly more health points. Secondly, players wish that the bonus abilities become a bit crazier and more powerful. After all, Torghast is a closed area, and here one could completely forget about balance and try out crazy abilities and feel overpowered.
Are you still having fun in Torghast? What do you think about the buffs that Blizzard has made?
The Cayo Perico update in GTA 5 Online introduced 3 new weapons that you canunlock. However, not all of them are easy to find. We will show you where to find and unlock them.
This is what’s happening in GTA Online: On December 15, the “biggest update of all time” was installed. This brought the new Cayo Perico Heist, new vehicles, and 3 new weapons.
The weapons are associated with the heist and can only be unlocked if you play the heist. We will show you the new guns and how to unlock them.
These are the new weaponry: In total, there are 3: a military rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol. Here they are:
Military Rifle – 397,500 GTA$
Combat Shotgun – 295,000 GTA$
Perico Pistol
Especially the Perico Pistol is hard to find and appears in a golden variant. However, once you find it, you can use it immediately and don’t have to buy it first.
How to get the weapons
How to find the Military Rifle? You can get the first weapon quite easily. You just have to start the Cayo Perico Heist. After starting, the weapon will be automatically unlocked for you.
Now you can go to any Ammu-Nation on the map and refund the Military Rifle for 397,500 GTA Dollars.
This is the Military Rifle.
How to find the Combat Shotgun? You should find the shotgun during the heist finale. According to the reddit user Timely-Speaker-8590, he found the Combat Shotgun leaning against a beam between walls. However, there seem to be various locations.

If you find the weapon, you can interact with it to “steal” it. Once you do this, you should be able to buy it at Ammu-Nation for 295,000 GTA Dollars after the heist.
The Combat Shotgun from the Cayo Perico Heist
How to find the Perico Pistol? Now we come to the last weapon from the new heist. You can steal and use this one right during the heist. You will find the pistol in El Rubio’s office during the heist finale:

The Perico Pistol is located in a drawer that you can only open with a key. You can find the key in Los Santos, but you can only start looking for it once the event is unlocked for you.
You should pay attention to the map while playing, as a blue dot will appear there. Go there to get the special key. Once you find it, you can start the Cayo Perico Heist and look for the pistol there.
The new Perico Pistol from the heist
Once you have completed all these steps and purchased the weapons, you can use them against other players. At first, they will probably be rare since they are not easy to get. So if you hurry, you might still brag with them for a while.
With today’s server restart, a hotfix for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has been applied, adjusting class balance. Death Knights, Druids, and Hunters are receiving heavy nerfs, but even the top PvP killers are affected.
Additionally, some adjustments for classes went live. Particularly Unholy Death Knights, Balance Druids, and Marksmanship Hunters are affected:
Unholy Death Knights lose 20% of the effectiveness of their “Mastery: Dreadblade”
Balance Druids lose 6% damage from “Starfall” and the legendary effect “Balance of All Things” loses strength
Marksmanship Hunters lose 5% damage each from their abilities “Aimed Shot” and “Arcane Shot”
For all three classes, the nerfs hit the most important tools for damage dealing. In the DPS ranking of Shadowlands, all three were previously in the top 3. The nerfs could change that.
In particular, with the Night Fae ability “Convoke the Spirits,” which randomly casts 16 spells, Druids could achieve significant damage peaks quickly with the legendary. However, the Night Fae are still likely to be the best covenant for Druids.
“Mastery: Dreadblade” increases the damage of pets and the shadow damage dealt for the Unholy Death Knight. Since nearly all of their damage comes from these two elements, the nerf hits particularly hard. Overall, Death Knights should expect 5-7% less damage.
Death Knights will face significantly less damage.
For the Hunter, “Aimed Shot” and “Arcane Shot” together account for nearly 50% of their damage. Therefore, the nerf affects them for about 2-3% of their total damage.
This is how strong the classes still are in the ranking: Druids and Hunters may lose a place in the DPS list, but they could also hold their ground since no other class has been significantly buffed. They have good chances to remain at the top.
Death Knights, on the other hand, could face larger losses. From the former first place, they could fall to as low as fourth place due to the nerf. However, it remains to be seen how strong the different values are for Unholy Death Knights and whether other legendary effects might be more beneficial.
What changes: In addition to the PvE nerfs, Rogues are getting a nerf in PvP. This mainly affects Rogues who have chosen the Kyrian as their covenant and Subtlety Rogues in general. The main changes are:
The Soulbind ability ‘Combat Meditation’ grants 50% less mastery in PvP.
The effectiveness of the Kyrians’ medium ‘Echo’ has been reduced by 50% in PvP (previously 30%).
The initial damage of the Kyrian ability ‘Resounding Retribution’ has been reduced by 50% in PvP.
‘Shadow Blades’ now deals an additional 30% damage to player characters (previously 40%).
This should prevent Subtlety Rogues from being able to kill opposing players in the arena, battlegrounds, or open PvP in just a few seconds despite defensive cooldowns. This has previously been a major point of criticism in the community.
How the PvE changes will concretely affect the ranking and gameplay remains to be seen. Currently, the “Mythic Race” is running, where the USA has already killed 7/10 bosses before Europe even gets to start. However, at least Death Knights are still favored there as they bring a very useful ability with “Death Grip.” We eagerly await to see who wins the race and how.

Today, on December 16th, the legendary Pokémon Kyurem returns during the Raid Hour in Pokémon GO. We will show you how to defeat the Pokémon.
This is the Raid Hour: Typically, the Raid Hour occurs every Wednesday. The current 5-star raid boss is highlighted during this time. It appears in almost all gyms within the hour.
In the current month of December, this legendary boss is the Dragon-type Pokémon Kyurem. If you want to catch this monster, you need just a Raid Pass or a Remote Raid Pass to participate in the raid.
If you don’t have a gym nearby where Kyurem might appear, you can still take advantage of the hour through remote raids. For example, friends can invite you to raids they are participating in. It doesn’t matter where you are – as long as you have a Remote Raid Pass.
Raid Hour on December 16th – What is the benefit?
When does the Raid Hour start? As usual, the Raid Hour begins at 6 PM local time. Before that, the raid eggs will appear, which will hatch right on time. The raids end again at 7:00 PM, and the usual spawns will return.
Why should I participate? Primarily, the hour is beneficial for you if the boss is still missing from your collection. During the Raid Hour, many trainers are often battling, so there’s a good opportunity to quickly find a raid with enough people for Kyurem. The Remote Raid Passes are also useful here: Just look on the map for a suitable raid and join a sufficiently large group.
Even if you already have the monster, the hour can still be useful. Because: With legendary raids, you accumulate an unusually large amount of XP. They can give you up to 10,000 XP, or even 20,000 XP if you’ve activated a Lucky Egg. Kyurem doesn’t require too many trainers, so you can quickly gather XP here. Additionally, you can increase your friendship level through joint raids, which also brings XP.
Besides that, the raids also help you progress from level 40 to 50. There are various tasks related to raids or legendary Pokémon, where you can benefit from the Raid Hour. You can find the detailed level guide here.
How many trainers do you need? Kyurem can already be defeated with teams of two trainers if you use the right counters and are at least level 40. If you can’t access that, you shouldn’t have any problems with four trainers.
What counters should I use? As an Ice/Dragon-type monster, Kyurem has several weaknesses that can be exploited. It is weak against the following types:
Fighting
Rock
Steel
Fairy
Dragon
The top counters therefore also come from these types. For example, use these monsters:
Pokémon
Attacks
Lucario
Counter and Aura Sphere
Metagross
Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash
Meistagrif
Counter and Dynamic Punch
Dialga
Metal Claw and Draco Meteor
Machamp
Counter and Dynamic Punch
Missing these monsters from your collection? Then you can find more tips for the raid battle in our Counter Guide against Kyurem.

In Fortnite you can find two new exotic weapons in Season 5 that appear only at specific locations on the map. We will show you the locations of the grenade launcher “Big Chill” and the sniper “Dragon’s Breath”.
The Dragon’s Breath: an exotic sniper rifle with a flame design
The Big Chill: an exotic grenade launcher with a rustic design
You can find both weapons on the map. However, they do not randomly appear from loot chests like other weapons, but only at fixed locations. If you want to get the new weapons, you will need to travel there specifically or eliminate an opponent who is carrying one of these weapons.
When you travel to the locations, you need to bring gold with you. You will have to purchase the weapons.
To save you from searching for a long time, we will show you the location of both weapons here.
Location of the grenade launcher “Big Chill”
Use this map: We are embedding the map of Fortnite here, which shows the exact location of the weapon:
Here you need to search: The Big Chill is found at exactly one location. In the far southeast of the map is a snow-covered mountain. At the top, there is an ice cream truck and a picnic table. Right next to it, a frosty Fortnite skin is selling you the Big Chill.
The Big Chill costs 1455 gold bars. This is comparable to other exotic weapons in the game.
Use this map: Here we are also embedding a map of the locations. Unlike the Big Chill, there are two locations for this sniper, and it only appears at one of the two. If you don’t find it at one location, you will need to head to the other:
Here you need to search: In the west of the map, you need to climb up a small hill. There, wooden structures are assembled, and the NPC Blaze is waiting for you. You can buy the Dragon’s Breath from her.
Alternatively, you can travel to the far northeast of the map. There, on the cliff, are two broken houses. In the right house, you will find Blaze again, who will offer you the sniper.
The rifle costs 1213 gold bars and is therefore slightly cheaper than other exotics.
If you still don’t know how to collect gold bars in Fortnite, then check here:
What do you imagine the MMOs of the future will be like? We have discussed what we will all be playing in 10 years in our new MeinMMO-Podcast.
What is it about? The MMO genre has undergone some major changes in recent years. Various sub-genres have developed, smartphones have emerged as a new platform, and a new generation of gamers has come into the target audience.

We show you all 10 antennas you need to repair for Still Slipping Los Santos on the map of GTA 5 Online. This will allow you to secure the new radio station, GTA dollars, and other cool rewards.
What are these antennas? The latest update that introduced the Cayo Perico Heist also brought the new radio station “Still Slipping Los Santos”. However, this is only locally accessible unless you help find and repair the antennas.
If you want to listen to the new trendy music from Los Santos unlimited, we will show you where all the broken antennas are located.
Antennas – Locations on the Map
Where should you look? The antennas are spread across 10 different locations on the map. Some of them are on rooftops of buildings and are therefore not immediately visible.
At the red markers you will find one of the antennas each
In detail, you will find the antennas at:
Paleto Bay, on the roof of a building located southwest
the tram station of Mount Chiliad
the Rebel Station in Grand Senora Desert
on the roof of the Kortz building at Pacific Bluffs
the communication towers in Vinewood Hills
next to Trevor’s trailer in Sandy Shores
on the roof of the shopping center at Burton
near the workout station in Vespucci Beach
on the roof of a building in the middle of Cypress Flats
What do you need to do? To start the antenna mission, you first need to go to a specific location: Mirror Park. This will be indicated to you with a “J” on the map. It’s best to mark it so that the way there is shown to you.
Once you arrive there, the mission should start right away and you can begin your search for the broken antennas. As soon as you find an antenna, you just need to interact with it to repair it.

If you want faster access to all antennas, it would be good to travel with an aircraft. This way you can quickly reach all the rooftops and the mission shouldn’t take too long.
Once you have found and repaired all 10 antennas, you can listen to the new radio station “Still Slipping Los Santos” unrestricted in your vehicles. You also get 250,000 GTA dollars and 10,000 RP.
If you want to collect even more money after the mission, you should check out the time trials. We explain how you can now earn 600,000 GTA$ in 5 minutes.

Directly at the start of Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and the Battle Royale CoD Warzone, 2 new weapons are entering the game: the submachine gun MAC 10 and the assault rifle Groza. Here you will find out how to unlock them.
In this context, 2 new weapons will also enter the game, which you can start unlocking and then use in Black Ops Cold War as well as in Warzone. But how do you get them?
The MAC 10 in action
How to unlock the 2 new weapons from the Season 1 Battle Pass
A total of five new weapons will be added to Cold War and Warzone during Season 1 – two of them right from the start. However, they need to be unlocked first.
These are the two new weapons: Right at the start of the first season, the following weapons will be available through the new Season 1 Battle Pass:
the MAC 10, a submachine gun
and the Groza, an assault rifle
Both are available through the free reward branch, meaning they can be completely unlocked and obtained for free by everyone. The weapons are also relatively easy to unlock, although it still requires some effort and time.
The MAC 10
How to get the MAC 10: To unlock this new submachine gun, you basically only need to do one thing – play.
Because you unlock the weapon without any special challenges or tasks at level 15 in the Battle Pass. You just need to diligently collect XP and level up the Battle Pass. Even players with little time should easily achieve this goal during the season.
The Groza
How to get the Groza: The situation with the Groza is similar – only that you need to play a bit more to get this weapon. This assault rifle will be unlocked at Tier 30 (Level 30). However, even with moderate but regular play, this should be achievable during the new season for almost everyone.
Here’s how to do it faster: You can also obtain the two new firearms in a less time-consuming way, but it will cost you.
This option involves getting the Battle Pass Bundle for 2,400 CoD Points. This includes 20 tier skips, which allow you to jump 20 levels, and with that, you can essentially secure the MAC 10 right away.
Then, you only have 10 more tiers to reach the Groza at Tier 30. You can also purchase this if desired. One tier skip costs 150 CoD Points, which is equivalent to €1.50. So, for those who find their time too precious or too tight and are willing to spend money for it, they can also buy immediate access to both weapons. Whether it is actually worthwhile and truly worth it – that’s something everyone has to decide for themselves.
In 2020, no American team made it out of the group stage of the Worlds in League of Legends. Teams from Korea, China, and Europe dominated the tournament. In 2021, this is supposed to change, and adjustments to the regular season for the teams are being made.
What happened? As Riot Games announced, there will be adjustments to the American LoL league LCS in 2021. According to the developers, this change – along with adjustments to the amateur scene – is meant to make America “the competitive region that everyone desires”.
In general, there should be more games per week during the regular season, the Spring, and the Summer Split.
The Spring Split will once again become more important regarding participation in the Worlds.
Furthermore, new tournaments are planned to be played during the season.
LCS starts the new season with a tournament
How does the new season begin? Instead of starting directly with the Spring Split, as has been customary, the league will begin with the LCS Lock In. This is a tournament that runs from January 15 to 31 and offers $150,000 to the winner.
All teams in the LCS will participate, with TSM and FlyQuest, the best teams from the previous year, starting in separate groups.
The new Lock In tournament, which takes place right at the start of the season.
Following the tournament, the regular Spring Split will begin. It runs from February 5 to March 14. New is that on three days – Friday, Saturday, Sunday – five games will be played each day. Each team is therefore required every day.
MSI and Summer Split: After the Spring Split, there will be the Mid-Season Showdown. There, it will be determined which team gets to represent the region at the international Mid-Season Invitational.
Six best teams from the Spring Split will participate in this tournament. The format will be Double Elimination.
After that, the regular Summer Split will take place from June 4 to August 1.
At the end of the season, there will be the LCS Championship. There, the 6 best teams of the entire year will compete against each other. The standings of the Spring and Summer Splits play an important role.
Other changes compared to the Summer Playoffs include:
The new system is supposed to ensure that teams that have already played against each other will meet again only later.
There are different dates so a team does not play multiple times a week.
The team coming from the upper bracket always has side choice.
The best teams from the LCS Championship will then represent America internationally.
The new LCS Championship.
Adjustments to the amateur scene
What is changing in the amateur scene? Academy teams and amateur teams will now meet in a large tournament, the LCS Proving Grounds, to determine the best team outside of the LCS.
To do this, a completely new tournament system has been created. This will run parallel to other amateur tournaments carried out by creators or players in general.
How the format will work exactly has been summarized by Riot in a graphic:
This is what the new season looks like for Academy and amateur teams.
Whether this new system will actually help strengthen the American scene will be shown by the Worlds 2021. One of the world champions from 2019, DoinB, sees a different problem in America than the tournament system:
