A hotfix for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has increased the drop rates for legendary effects. The memories you need will now drop significantly more often with the increasing difficulty of a dungeon. It will get even better in the future.
Here is the change: On the evening of December 3rd, Blizzard deployed a hotfix for World of Warcraft. This increases the drop chance for legendary effects depending on the difficulty of the dungeon you enter:
Heroic dungeons have a significantly higher chance than normal
Mythic dungeons have a significantly higher chance than heroic
Mythic Keystone dungeons have an even higher and increasing chance
The Keystone dungeons (“Mythic+”) can only be entered starting December 9th. According to the official post in the forum, the chance will continue to increase the higher you play the Keystone.
Heroic dungeons can be farmed easily and now offer more chances for legendary effects.
Why do I need this? The legendary effects are one of the resources you need for crafting Legendaries in WoW. They determine what effect the armor piece you are crafting has. You can find out exactly how it works in our detailed guide on crafting Legendaries in Shadowlands.
Legendaries: Easier to farm through heroic dungeons
Which Legendaries are affected? According to Blizzard, the change only applies to legendary effects you receive from dungeons. Torghast and world bosses are not affected. You can check if your top effects are affected in our list of the best Legendaries for each class.
Farming will now be significantly easier for many effects, especially since there is no daily lockout for heroic dungeons anymore. If you are still missing an important effect, you can run the “HC dungeon” as often as you like.
What does this do for me? With the change about a week before the raid opens and the start of Mythic+, you can now prepare in time for the new endgame content.
If you already have everything you need, you can use the time to prepare further or level up a second character to have a bit of choice. However, there is still plenty to do until Castle Nathria opens its gates. If you are feeling lost, here are 5 things you should do in week 2 of Shadowlands.

The submachine gun AUG was among the absolute top weapons at the release of Call of Duty: Warzone, but fell off after a nerf. 2 pro players show with their setups that it is still a blast in Battle Royale.
Why was the AUG so powerful at the release of Warzone? The submachine gun rumbled through the first weeks as a strong assault rifle replacement in Call of Duty: Warzone, boasting outstanding time-to-kill values (TTK).
A nerf put the weapon back on track: it maintained its top damage values but lost its outstanding control.
What makes it still strong? The AUG continues to benefit from its high damage and is very controllable at short range. It also offers better range than the top choice MP5 and is particularly interesting for Warzone players who cannot make use of the MP5.
It is one of the strong alternatives for combat distances up to 20 meters, along with the MP7 and the P90:
MP5: Best TTK, but low range and a bit wobbly
MP7: Nice stability and 60-round magazine
P90: Extremely stable, but somewhat weak TTK
AUG: Good mix of control and TTK
If you play with SMGs in Warzone as a secondary weapon, you should definitely check out the AUG. MeinMMO has found 2 tested pro setups for you, with which the submachine gun is absolutely competitive and ranks among the best weapons in Warzone at short distances.
AUG setups for Warzone that can compete with the MP5
Which setup should I try? To provide you with strong setups, we looked at how major Warzone YouTubers play the MP. We then tested the setups ourselves to assess recoil and overall playability.
The first setup comes from “Nickmercs”, one of the largest streamers and YouTubers in Warzone, who also participates as a pro player in many tournaments at the highest level. The second comes from “Swagg”, who also runs a significant YouTube channel with CoD content and frequently competes at major tournaments.
Warzone: Nickmercs’ AUG setup
Muzzle: Silencer (Monolithic)
Barrel: Extended 407mm Barrel
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Grip: Rubberized Grip Tape
Perk: Sleight of Hand
What does the Nickmercs setup bring? The AUG is quite rough without attachments for better aim and does not feel particularly comfortable to play. The barrel and underbarrel give the weapon the control it needs.
Together with the silencer, you also increase the range for the first damage range to nearly 18 meters. In this range, you take down enemies with 3 plates in about 570 milliseconds. The MP5, with its most popular setup from November 2020, already takes 680 milliseconds at about 10 meters.
The grip tape gives back a bit of the aim speed that you lose with the barrel and silencer. To not burden the weapon further, a larger magazine and sight are also missing. The Iron Sight (Iron & Sights) works fine at short ranges and the somewhat sparse ammunition in the magazine is balanced out again by the perk “Sleight of Hand”.
If you want to see the weapon in action, check out the English gameplay video from Nickmercs:

What does the Swagg setup bring? The pro Warzone player gets more damage on his bullets with the 5.56 conversion kit and also has 5 more rounds in the magazine. This makes the weapon a bit slower, but the tactical laser balances that out.
For better recoil control, the commando underbarrel is sufficient for this setup. Overall, the Swagg setup tends to go sideways a bit more but offers less vertical recoil. Both versions can be easily controlled, and you can easily engage enemies in the crucial 20-meter range of SMGs and maintain your aim.
The 5.56 goes a bit more sideways, the normal ammunition goes a bit more upwards. (approx. 15 meters distance)
To compensate for the somewhat small magazine, Swagg also relies on the perk “Sleight of Hand”. If you want to see some gameplay of that setup, check out the English video from Swagg:

Where does the AUG stand compared to other strong weapons? Especially the AUG with the 5.56 ammunition comes very close to the MP5 in TTK. However, you get a bit more range. In combat against strong shotguns, like the R9-0 with Dragon’s Breath, you can maintain enough distance from the enemy and still benefit from the strong first damage range. The AUG without 5.56 ammo is exactly on MP7 level:
Both options presented in this article thus represent excellent and stable alternatives to the sweat weapon MP5 and can easily compete with the other strong Warzone SMGs.
If you haven’t had the AUG in your loadout so far and are always looking for improvements that match your playstyle, you should try using the AUG in Warzone. However, once you exceed 20 meters, assault rifles or light machine guns with high stability usually take the lead. For that range, you can find the 10 most stable weapons in Warzone ranked here.

Especially for gamers who want to play in Full HD with very high frame rates beyond 100 FPS, the graphics card is a worthwhile investment.
RTX 3060 Ti: Alternate, Saturn and Co. Offer Limited Stock
Is the graphics card still available for purchase? Even among German retailers, there are hardly any available RTX graphics cards, as many are interested in the new graphics cards after the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 were quickly sold out.
Currently, as of 3.12.2020, Alternate is offering only the RTX 3060 Ti from Gainward; other graphics cards are not available at Alternate at this time:
But it’s not just Nvidia that has supply issues with the new GPUs. Competitors also face similar concerns. AMD has been struggling with high demand since the launch of the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT. The graphics cards were immediately sold out and there continues to be a large demand for the graphics card.

Nvidia releases the RTX 3060 Ti with high WQHD performance for 400 euros. However, the graphics card is sold out just a few minutes later. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition is also gone. This repeats the pattern seen with the RTX 3080 and the RX 6800 XT.
The RTX 3060 Ti is a fast, efficient graphics card that offers a similarly high gaming performance as the RTX 2080 Super, but at a significantly lower price.
Here’s the deal: Nvidia has released its mid-range graphics card, the RTX 3060 Ti. This is a graphics card that aims to compete primarily with AMD in the mid-range WQHD sector. GameStar praises the high performance of the new graphics card in their review.
However, many interested buyers will not get their hands on the RTX 3060 Ti, as the graphics card is sold out just moments later (via gamerant.com).
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti: Why It’s So In Demand
The main reason is the price of the new graphics card. Nvidia sets the original price of the RTX 3060 Ti at 400 US dollars, offering a very good price-performance ratio. This follows the same approach as with the RTX 3080. Nvidia’s high-end graphics card was also sold out shortly after its launch.
This is especially evident when comparing the graphics card with other models:
The RTX 3060 Ti offers a similarly strong performance as the RTX 2080 Super, which cost around 699 US dollars at launch, 300 US dollars more than the RTX 3060 Ti.
Additionally, the graphics card offers about 40% more power than the RTX 2060 Super, which costs about the same.
Especially for gamers who want to play in Full HD with very high frame rates beyond 100 FPS, the graphics card is a worthwhile investment.

The creators of Black Desert, Pearl Abyss, presented their second new MMORPG in 2019: Crimson Desert was set to be released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. It looked a bit like Game of Thrones meets Red Dead Redemption 2. Now there should be new information about the game, but it is now referred to as an “Open World Action Adventure.”
Pearl Abyss was set to announce a new engine and a whole lineup of exciting new games. The most exciting new project they introduced was Crimson Desert:
It was to be Pearl Abyss’s 2nd major MMORPG
Crimson Desert was supposed to be released for PC and “consoles,” actually hinting at a release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X
It was to be a “prequel” to Black Desert, set in the same world, but long before the time of the online role-playing game
It was said that players would lead a mercenary group in Crimson Desert and could interact with the hired fighters and other NPCs. Thus, the idea arose that the player would lead a “gang,” similar to Red Dead Redemption 2
In interviews, representatives from Pearl Abyss later said: The focus of Crimson Desert is on PvE, the story is more important than in Black Desert – although there is PvP, the focus is on fighting monsters
No more talk of “MMO,” just “Open World Action Adventure”
This is now new: Crimson Desert has released a new teaser trailer that points to a redesigned website (via crimsondesert). In the trailer and on the site, all references to “MMO” or “MMORPG” are missing.
In the YouTube channel description and on the South Korean website for Crimson Desert, it is now referred to as an “Upcoming Open World Action-Adventure.”
Welcome to the official YouTube channel of Crimson Desert, an upcoming open world action-adventure by Pearl Abyss.
YouTube channel description of Crimson Desert
In the first trailer, Crimson Desert was still clearly introduced as an “MMORPG” – such references are now completely absent.
In the YouTube comments, players demand a “better version of Black Desert,” but some are already asking: Is this still an MMO? (via youtube)
There is still no official statement from Pearl Abyss.
If Crimson Desert really is an action-adventure, then another MMORPG hope dies here before the release.
This is behind it: From the beginning, the concept of “leading a mercenary gang” seemed contrary to an MMORPG. The trailer also seemed to suggest that there was a fixed main character in focus: The young man who strongly resembles Jon Snow from Game of Thrones.
This character is in almost every focus of nearly every screenshot: Probably the main character in the adventure.
How an MMORPG with a “fixed main character” is supposed to work is puzzling. They can’t all look the same and act the same.
In 2019, Crimson Desert was still advertised everywhere with “MMORPG,” now a genre designation is deliberately missing: The “Open World Action-Adventure” is relatively well hidden.
The basic idea of Crimson Desert reminded us early on of “Red Dead Redemption 2” with a focus on NPCs and stories. It is quite possible that the game has developed even more strongly in this direction over the past year.
Actually, Pearl Abyss specializes in MMOs and MMORPGs. They have not done anything else so far. But the South Koreans have had a lot of success in North America and Europe. Maybe it is a conscious decision to “go west” and introduce an action-adventure in a fantasy world here. It probably has already reached South Korea that these do super well here.
We will probably receive certainty on December 10: A further presentation of Crimson Desert is scheduled during the Video Game Awards. Perhaps we will still see elements of an MMORPG or at least a multiplayer mode.
This is Lost Ark – many are looking forward to it.
For Crimson Desert, we can expect new information in 2020, but a release is not expected for some time anyway. Even if Crimson Desert is now dropped, 2021 could still be a strong MMORPG year:
If you want to buy a PS5 console on eBay, you have to dig deep into your pockets. Prices from €700 to €1,000 are not uncommon.
What’s going on eBay? Currently, many players are looking for deals to purchase Sony’s new PlayStation 5. Here and there, new consoles are arriving at retailers again. As on December 3rd in the 4th wave of the PS5.
However, the offers are limited and sold out within minutes.
The unfortunate part? People who managed to grab one of the coveted game consoles during the console shortage are selling them on eBay. They take them away from those who simply want to play and hold them out for sometimes more than double the purchase price.
This is what eBay shows: If you simply search for “PS5” on eBay, you will find numerous offers there. If you sort by “newly listed”, you’ll see consoles that were bought today, on December 3rd, and are already being put “in the bay”.
Some of these will only be available for delivery from December 19th.
In these offers, there is no secret that the consoles are still in their original packaging and even sealed. It is often clearly stated that the buyers are still waiting for the arrival of their order and want to resell it directly.
In the auctions, you can read sentences like:
“Bought at a well-known electronics retailer. Delivery is scheduled for December 18th. Shipping will occur no later than the next working day after receipt of payment via DHL.”
“The PS5 has just arrived, so NOW available”
“The delivery date confirmed by the Expert online shop is in KW 51. Therefore, this is the last opportunity to get a PS5 before Christmas.”
“The PS5 was only unpacked and tested for functionality – immediately available!”
For many people who simply want to play PS5, this is a problem. Because these “resellers” buy the console just to sell it at a higher price. Since they are unavailable from the big retailers, they exploit the scarcity.
What does eBay say about it? These “problems” surrounding the trade of the PS5 are not new. We already reported on this on November 25th. At that time, players were already calling on eBay to ban the gouging prices.
Subsequently, we from MeinMMO inquired at eBay and asked for a statement on the matter. They told us on November 25th that eBay had already responded this year with a new guideline regarding price gouging. However, this only applies to necessary items or things for daily needs.
We place great emphasis on reasonable pricing and ensure that current developments are always in line with eBay policies. Where this is not the case, we will take appropriate action. This year, we have introduced a guideline for price gouging.
This guideline applies exclusively to items considered necessary or items for daily needs, and only these items can be reported as price gouging. Since the PlayStation 5 does not meet the necessity of daily needs and no emergency is being exploited, this guideline does not apply here.
In Season 5 – Chapter 2 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, you can complete bounties and collect gold bars. This is a new feature that rewards you with the currency that can be used in the game. We will show you how it works.
This is the new feature: The start of Season 5 brought a new opportunity that you can try out in the game. You will now become bounty hunters and can carry out missions for characters on the map.
When you talk to the characters, they will give you a mission. This marks the hunt for a specific player who is in your game. The goal is to eliminate them before the designated time runs out.
Where to find the quest givers? To start a hunt, you first need to find the NPC characters. They are spread across various locations on the map. However, you can use your mini-map as a guide, as a speech bubble will appear when an NPC is nearby.
This is how it is displayed on the mini-map when an NPC is nearby
There are certain locations where there is a high chance of finding a character. Since they can change their location, it’s not always guaranteed that you will find them at a specific spot again. They should appear at these locations:
These are the locations where the NPCs should appear
How to start a hunt? Once you find a character on the map, you just need to stand in front of them and then interact with them. A selection wheel will open, where you can choose what you want from the NPC. To start a bounty hunt, select the “Bounty” option.
As soon as the mission is accepted, a timer will start. This will show you how much time you have to eliminate the target. Only if you succeed within the given time will you receive the reward for the job. The golden circle that appears on the map marks the area where your target is currently located.
Here you can see how such a bounty hunt takes place in the game:

Bounty hunting without NPCs: MeinMMO user “Wolve In The Wall” has another tip on how you can start bounty hunts in the game. This variant works without NPCs, by simply visiting bounty boards.
The boards are located in various places on the map. So far, the following locations are known:
North of Camp Cod, by the small wooden bridge (Grid F7)
Northwest of Dirty Docks (Grid H3)
West of Retail Row, by the green bridge (Grid G4/F4)
We at MeinMMO will continue to update the list as more locations for bounty hunts are found. If you find a board that is not listed here, you can let us know in the comments. We will then add it here.
The bounty board also gives you an option for the hunt
Important: If you fail to eliminate the target in time, the player will receive a gold bar for surviving. You go empty-handed and will have to start a new hunt.
This is the new currency: Bars were introduced at the start of Season 5. They serve as a currency that can only be used in a single game round. You cannot purchase them with real money – they do not work like V-Bucks. Data miners had found this currency some time ago in the data.
The new bounty characters accept gold bars as payment. The bars can be used for the following items:
Exotic weapons
Upgrades
Services: Bodyguards for protection
Information
The gold bars allow you to unlock cool things in the game
How to get gold bars? You can earn bars by successfully completing bounty hunts, eliminating opponents, or finding secret supplies on the island. Additionally, you earn one gold bar each time a bounty is placed on you, provided you survive the hunt.
For a successful bounty hunt, you get 70 gold bars
Search chests, as they also drop gold bars
Using your pickaxe, destroy items like beds, sofas, or cash registers to find more bars
Eliminated players also drop bars with their loot
Complete the challenges that reward you with gold bars
Important: The gold bars you find in a round can be stacked and carried over to the next rounds. You can collect as many as possible. However, in Arena mode, you lose all bars after a round.
Once you have collected enough of them, you can use them for cool weapons or upgrades. If you prefer bodyguards, you can hire them for gold bars.
In another challenge, you are required to find the Razor Crest. There you should also find an NPC who can give you a bounty mission. In our guide, we will show you where the location is, so you can complete the task and also start a bounty hunt.

In Pokémon GO the nests have undergone a major overhaul. Over 70 Pokémon have been removed as potential nest Pokémon. We will show you all the monsters that can appear in nests.
What are nests? These are places in Pokémon GO where a monster tends to appear very frequently. Almost all parks or green spaces that you have in your city are nests. A Pokémon then appears there more often, which is the nest Pokémon.
What has changed: Not all monsters in Pokémon GO can appear in nests. Previously, there were 100 monsters that could be considered nest Pokémon. A rotation occurred every 2 weeks, with new Pokémon coming into the nests from the list.
However, the nests have now been fundamentally changed. Instead of 100 possible monsters, there are now only 29 Pokémon that can appear in nests.
List of all possible nest Pokémon
This has been noticed: For the release of Generation 6 the nests were changed. Generally, the nests rotated one more time, but some Pokémon were completely removed from the rotation.
On reddit there is now a thread listing 29 Pokémon that currently appear in nests. Among them are also some monsters that have never appeared in nests before. Over 70 Pokémon have, however, disappeared from the nest list.
This is the list: We will include all the Pokémon here that have currently been found in nests:
Treecko Torchic Mudkip Poochyena Makuhita Shroomish (new as nest Pokémon) Corphish (new as nest Pokémon) Swablu (new as nest Pokémon)
4th Generation
Turtwig Chimchar Piplup Stunky Snorunt (new as nest Pokémon)
You should keep in mind: The data here only refers to a nest change. The list might look completely different at the next change.
However, previously each prior nest change had significantly more Pokémon discovered in nests. It is definitely interesting that there are now significantly fewer nest Pokémon.
Is such a change good? For the general player base, it is definitely a good thing. Many “junk” Pokémon have been removed from the nests. Starters from the 2nd and 5th generations no longer appear in nests. Those who have enough candies for them will probably be pleased about this.
All in all, there are now significantly more Pokémon in nests that can be shiny. Only a few monsters, like Phanphy, Swablu, or Corphish appear in nests but cannot be shiny.
For individual trainers who hoped for a specific nest Pokémon that was removed, this is certainly not good news. However, one can hope that Niantic will revise the list again later.
In December, you will find new field research in Pokémon GO. We give you the overview:
In just a few days, you will experience the end of the story of the online role-playing game Phantasy Star Online 2 (PC, Xbox One), before it continues in 2021 with “New Genesis.” We will reveal what the expansion is about.
What is New Genesis? Next year, Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis will be released. This will overhaul the old version, provide new graphics, and make it more modern. At the same time, there will be completely new game content.
New Genesis takes place 1,000 years after PSO 2 and starts a new storyline. Instead of traveling through small zones, there will be a huge open world. Everything related to EXP, skills, and techniques will be overhauled.
Players can experience the new content with their old character or create a new one. It should be possible to switch between the old content and New Genesis in the game, although not all equipment and cosmetics will function in both games. Additionally, content such as friends list, block list, and the premium account will be shared between both games.
A livestream on December 19 will introduce the concept of New Genesis in more detail.
https://youtu.be/3quyigmEEL8
This is what the remaster Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis looks like.
What to expect before New Genesis
Before the launch of New Genesis, the current story of PSO 2 will be completed. The new Episode 6 will be released soon. In this, you will engage in the final battle for the fate of the ARKs, which could even impact the entire universe.
Afterwards, “New Genesis” will be released in 2021.
These innovations await you:
You will encounter new enemies with new abilities and unique skills
New quests will be added to the game
There will be a special level-up quest that grants you a 200% EXP bonus and many rewards
Summoners can summon the two new pets Herbie and Vulcan
The level cap will be raised to 95
Quests will receive a new difficulty level, Ultra-Hard
The two classes Etoile and Phantom will be introduced
When is the update coming? You can dive into the adventures of Episode 9 of the online role-playing game Phantasy Star Online 2 starting December 9 and try out the innovations such as the two classes.
When will “New Genesis” be released? New Genesis currently does not have a release date. It was only said that it should be released in 2021 and that it will be available for Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
In addition to the online role-playing game PSO 2, 4 more MMORPGs were released this year. We have introduced them to you:
In Destiny 2, you now need to watch out for a “forbidden hunter technique”. We explain why it’s called that and how it works.
First, you need to be careful: Those who venture into the Crucible now will face numerous Stasis Hunters who can freeze everything. It’s already frustrating to see your opponent gleefully building up in front of you and then transforming you into a helpless ice sculpture that shatters into a thousand pieces.
But recently, a new stasis technique has been making the rounds that is even nastier. To die from the so-called “forbidden hunter technique” or “the Drewsky,” you don’t even need to be frozen. Even without line of sight, Stasis Hunters can knock you out with just one hit at any time.
This is how it works: Through a combination of aspects and fragments, the new Revenant class can create wide-ranging ice crystals and destroy them in less than a second. The resulting explosion is enough to instantly kill everything within a few meters.
Here, the Stasis Hunter performs the Shatter Dive
What you need for the new Wombo Combo in Destiny 2:
The Glacier Grenade of your Stasis Revenant: Creates a large ice wall
The Aspect “Shatter Dive”: You can rush down from the air and shatter all Stasis constructs in the vicinity
The Fragment “Whisper of Rifts”: Increases damage and size of the Stasis explosion when you destroy a Stasis crystal or defeat a frozen target
The Fragment “Whisper of Fragments”: Shattering a Stasis crystal temporarily increases your grenade recharge rate
What is a Wombo Combo?
In video games, the term “Wombo Combo” refers to a series of attacks or a chain of skills that, when executed correctly, are impossible to counter. Often, such a combination can take out the hopeless opponent directly. In Destiny, it has become customary to refer to the combination of Smoke Grenade and Void Grenade of the Nightstalker as a Wombo Combo, since the suppressed and blinded opponent cannot escape the grenade damage. However, the term originally comes from Super Smash Bros.
This is how you play it: Equipped like this, throw a Glacier Grenade in the general direction of enemies. Then activate the Shatter Dive from the jump and land near the ice wall. It will explode in a large shatter explosion, sending everything in the vicinity to the virtual beyond.
You can use the “forbidden hunter technique” again in a short time with the equipped fragments – if you can handle any hate messages from your competitors.
Those who want to can invest in plenty of discipline and use the exotic boots “Fr0st-ee5” to charge your grenade extremely quickly.
Will this last in this form for long, or will it soon be adjusted, like recently with the Stasis Warlock? How to unlock fragments and aspects for your Stasis classes and what they can do, you can read here on MeinMMO:
Why is it called “forbidden hunter technique” or “doing the Drewsky”?
The nasty Stasis combo was most recently prominently used by the streamer and YouTuber Drewsky.
Other content creators, like the friendly Destiny expert Fallout, have now picked it up. His video on the subject is titled “The New Forbidden Hunter Technique…”.
The PvP crack Ascendant Nomad, known as the Crucible Doctor, titled his corresponding video: “How to do the Drewsky Dunk”.
Here you can see Drewsky
That’s why it has tradition: Of course, Drewsky didn’t invent the combination, as he and the other content creators know. However, in the community, it has become a tradition to name such approaches after prominent users.
For example, “doing an nKuch” means quickly firing with a sniper rifle and immediately following up with a hand cannon.
So not sniping precisely, but rather landing a comparatively easier body shot, immediately switching weapons, and then finishing off the wounded target with the primary weapon.
It is named after the well-known YouTuber nKuch.
Check out how Stasis Hunters perform the “Drewsky Dunk” to funky music here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqSZRww90l8&t=41s
Have you already fallen victim to the new Wombo Combo, or are you using the nasty technique yourself? Do you think that the Stasis Hunter will soon end up like the Warlock and that Bungie won’t leave it like this in the game?
In 2017, the MMORPG Arcfall entered Early Access. However, it wasn’t well received by MeinMMO readers. Now, more than 3 years later, let’s see what has become of the title.
What is Arcfall? The sandbox MMORPG emphasizes community interaction, as every player should be an important part of the economy. While you explore the vast world, you gather resources and craft essential items for other players to sell. Additionally, you experience exciting adventures by fighting against monsters. PvP and guild wars are also important.
Arcfall has no classes. You can freely improve your hero based on skills. You can even acquire your own house and decorate it according to your ideas.

This is what the MMORPG Arcfall looks like in 2020.
The current status of the MMORPG Arcfall
How did the game resonate with you? When we introduced Arcfall in May 2017, your reactions on MeinMMO were as follows:
Longard wrote: “Brazen Albion Online clone. Might as well sue immediately.”
Nirraven commented: “The gameplay doesn’t look that great.”
Andy Boultgen thought: “This is going into EA and will stay there forever.”
He wasn’t entirely wrong, as even today, in December 2020, Arcfall is still in Early Access.
What is the current status of the game? In terms of player numbers, the MMORPG currently does not look good according to Steamcharts. The Early Access version on Steam had only 2.9 concurrent players in the past 30 days. The peak was at 9 players.
The release, which was initially planned for late 2020, will happen later. When, the developers cannot say yet. However, it is planned to definitely release Arcfall. Over the years, there have also been updates with new content.
These include:
more quests
instanced housing instead of building houses in the open world
the ability to quickly switch tools
seasonal dungeons and more
Further features are also planned. This includes giving players access to kingdoms where they can settle and further develop them. Additionally, players are expected to receive their own dungeons.
Arcfall still has a future, and we hope that players will give the MMORPG a chance.
The Tower Torghast in WoW: Shadowlands is popular among many players. But the ending is disappointing.
WoW: Shadowlands has been live for over a week now, and most players have left the leveling phase behind and have reached the endgame. Especially visits to the Tower Torghast are regularly on the agenda, to craft legendary items. But as much as Torghast is praised, the ending feels unsatisfying – at least that is what many players in the WoW subreddit think.
What is the problem? Torghast inundates players with cool abilities and challenging tasks that become increasingly exciting and demanding towards the end. However, the end comes without a cool climax. Instead of a summary of achievements or a chest containing loot, there is only the “Leave” screen at the end. This is quite unsatisfying and leaves a feeling of emptiness.
What players are saying: In the WoW subreddit, there is lively discussion about Torghast. A post by user Roar_of_Shiva has over 5,000 upvotes and a 99% approval rate. He writes:
It feels quite anticlimactic when you finish a run and are simply ejected from the tower. A recap screen would significantly enhance the experience of the tower, showing you what Anima powers you had, how many enemies you killed, and how much damage and healing you dealt.
There is a lot of agreement on this, along with further suggestions for improvement, such as from Erva420:
Yes, and it’s also strange that you kill the boss and nothing really happens. You simply go out through the portal. I mean, these are really the basics of roguelike games. Come on, Blizz.
Behind locked doors in Torghast often lurk bonus bosses.
The desire for a chest or similar conclusion is great, even if this chest only contains the Soul Ash that the boss would otherwise drop. Thus, Sheth1984 notes, receiving much agreement:
Lol, it’s fascinating and at the same time a psychological fact that a big fat chest with Soul Ash would fix this, haha.
Is more to come? Torghast is still not fully present in the game. The last section, the “Twisted Corridors,” will only appear with the start of Season 1. The Twisted Corridors are 18 levels each instead of just 6, making for a longer endeavor. At the same time, you cannot earn Soul Ash here, but you can get plenty of cosmetic rewards, such as pets, toys, and even mounts.
Would you like a different “conclusion” for the Torghast runs? What do you think the perfect ending would look like?
Cyberpunk 2077 is a strong contender for Game of the Year 2020. The release is on December 10th. But the retailer BestBuy shipped the Collector’s Edition too early: Now players fear that leaks about Cyberpunk 2077 could ruin all the fun.
That’s why there are so many leaks about Cyberpunk 2077: When leaks about a game appear, it’s often because some YouTuber messed up, an insider got a tip from a source, or a magazine broke its embargo and spilled something anyway.
But with Cyberpunk 2077, the situation is much simpler: The retailer “BestBuy” simply shipped the Collector’s Edition of Cyberpunk 2077 too early.

It immediately had consequences that some players received their packages so early. Yesterday, the first streamers happily started streaming Cyberpunk 2077 and shared their first hours in Night City with the world.
Cyberpunk 2077 kindly asks “NOT TO” show anything
This is how CD Projekt Red responds: They don’t think it’s funny at all. They announced on Twitter: They kindly ask people to STREAM NOTHING or do let’s plays.
Only starting from December 9th at 12:00 PM may players begin.

CD Projekt Red wants players to experience the launch worldwide simultaneously and spoiler-free.
The “friendly request” apparently manifests somewhat more harshly in the real world. CD Projekt Red is apparently taking strict action against spoilers. They are quickly disappearing from the internet.
The version that can be played “too early” is actually not the release version, as the Day-One patch is still missing.
This is how a streamer reacts: One of the biggest Twitch streamers in the world, xQc, expressly welcomes this approach by CD Projekt Red. He praises the ban on “early streams.”
Because if the company does nothing against “too early streams,” then as a streamer you would be forced to stream early yourself to keep up. He hints with smacking sounds and eating imaginary cookies that it is financially very lucrative to stream a game “too early.”
In previous releases, xQc always had to get keys from New Zealand, xQc explains – this time he can forgo such stunts. He finds that good for now.

This is how fans react: On reddit the news annoys people especially that now some have Cyberpunk 2077 in their hands already. They fear that before the release the entire story and all key moments will become known.
Players are already annoyed by previous releases that were ruined for them by spoilers: Last of Us 2 is often mentioned as a negative example.
YouTubers would then upload videos where
The title explains the most important thing
decorated with a thumbnail, an image that reveals key scenes of the story
Especially since many hardcore fans get shown everything new about Cyberpunk 2077 through the YouTube algorithm, this “early release” is particularly annoying for them.
Already on November 23, there was an incident where someone got their hands on Cyberpunk 2077 too early and streamed the game. CD Projekt Red had already announced serious measures:
Footstep sounds are a powerful tool in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War to detect enemies in the immediate vicinity. MeinMMO helps you find the right sound settings and even discover players with the stealth perk “Ninja”.
Why are footstep sounds so important? If you want to get better in the intense first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, you should take advantage of all the mechanics and benefits available to you.
The sounds of your enemies’ footsteps are definitely among them. The best weapons in Cold War won’t help you if the enemy knows about your location from 40 meters away while you’re not paying attention to their footsteps.
The YouTuber and CoD expert “TheXclusiveAce” has addressed this issue in a video, helping you find the right sound settings for your personal setup and explaining how the stealth perk “Ninja” affects footstep volume. MeinMMO summarizes his findings and provides tips on how to better hear your enemies’ footsteps.
The Ninja perk makes footsteps in Cold War quieter, but not completely silent.
Test the presets with your individual sound settings
How do I find the right sound settings? Many CoD soldiers are playing under various starting situations. There are countless different headsets, some play over their TV sound, and others have a solid sound system hooked up to their console. To find the optimal settings for you, you need to experiment.
Here, we embed XclusiveAce’s video, where you can listen to all the preset sound settings in the game to decide for yourself which ones work best for you. Play the video on your gaming setup at the volume you typically use for gaming. The test starts at 1:13 minutes:

Choose 2 or 3 of the settings that allow you to hear footsteps the loudest and play a few rounds with them. The setting with the loudest footsteps may not necessarily be the best for you, as you will encounter many distracting noises during matches, such as explosions or gunfire.
These sounds are also significantly amplified by settings with “boost” in the title, which can lead to poorer footstep detection overall. So don’t settle for the setting that seems optimal after your initial test; experiment to find the best solution for your sound setup.
What setting does the expert recommend? After some trial and error, Ace has decided on the standard setting “Treyarch Mix”. As a second option, he finds the preset “Treble Boost” useful.
He could also see this using his editing software for his videos. He can observe the frequency spikes of sound effects in detail. He believes that the other settings either do not amplify footsteps enough or that other sound effects overpower the steps too much.
If you’re looking for more recommendations on settings, check out our comprehensive special on the right settings in Cold War:
Information on footstep sounds – Without Ninja Perk
At what distance can I hear enemies? To determine at what distance you can hear your enemies, TheXclusiveAce conducted further tests. In a completely quiet environment, you can hear your enemies’ footsteps without the perk “Ninja” at the following distances:
Sprinting: From 50 meters / Loud from about 20 meters
Running: From 50 meters / Loud from about 20 meters
Crouched walking: Clearly audible from 10 meters
Walking in aim: From 30 meters
Interestingly, there is hardly any difference in footstep sounds between sprinting and normal running. Additionally, keep in mind that walking in aim is relatively loud in CoD Cold War. In CoD MW, walking in aim was one of the quietest movements. However, in Cold War, you are still quite audible.
Information on footstep sounds – With Ninja Perk
How does the Ninja Perk affect sounds? Another difference from its predecessor in 2019: There is a perk that allows you to walk more quietly. Players with the perk “Ninja” can be heard from the following distances:
Sprinting: From about 20 meters
Running: From about 20 meters
Crouched walking: Clearly audible from 10 meters
Walking in aim: From 10 meters, but quietly
Without the Ninja perk, you can clearly hear enemies’ footsteps from 20 meters. Approximately from this distance, enemies with “Ninja” will become audible to you. However, these footsteps are by no means as loud as without the perk. Crouched walking is not affected by “Ninja” at all.
However, the perk provides a significant advantage when walking in aim. With “Ninja”, you are significantly quieter when aiming than when crouching. However, you can still be heard by opponents who are attentive to enemy footsteps.
Optimize your audio setup to hear footsteps better
How can I hear footsteps better? If you have rarely used footstep sounds to determine enemy positions, you should start doing so. You will be surprised how often you can locate an ambush or an enemy around the next corner ahead of time. It requires focus, but it can give you a significant advantage, especially if the enemy does not pay much attention to these sounds.
If you already use footstep sounds in your game and want to improve, you often need a hardware solution. If you are currently using sound from your TV, monitor, or enjoying multiplayer battles on your home theater system, consider switching to headphones. This way, ambient sounds from the real world will hardly disturb you, and you will be closer to the action. You can find a buying guide with tips on what to consider when choosing a headset here on MeinMMO:
Recognizing enemy footsteps early is a powerful tool in Call of Duty. If you are attentive, you can locate almost any nearby opponent in advance and be prepared for any attack. What you also need are the right weapons. For instance, 3 guns stand out due to a good time-to-kill compared to automatic weapons. Here you can find out which weapons they are and what makes them so strong.

The first players can FIFA 21 already download for PS5 and Xbox Series X. How does the upgrade to NextGen work?
What kind of upgrade is this? FIFA 21 is released in an enhanced version on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. This brings, among other things, a sleeker look, new animations, and faster loading times. The official launch of the version is December 4, 2020 – but some players can already download and play the upgrade.
EA Sports announced this on Twitter:

The majority of players who bought FIFA 21 on the current-gen consoles [PS4 and Xbox One] can now download and play the version for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Global access will follow as we prepare for the official launch on December 4.
EA Sports via Twitter (translated)
Thus, the first players who already own the game in the “old” version can get the upgrade right now. In the community, such as on Reddit and Twitter, players are already reporting that they have successfully downloaded the new version and can play.
Others, however, are still reporting error messages when trying to load the game. It seems that it is indeed not yet available everywhere without problems. This should at the latest be the case on December 4.
This is how you download FIFA 21 for PS5 and Xbox Series X
This is how the upgrade works: The so-called “Dual Entitlement” gives every player who already owns FIFA 21 access to the respective next-gen version of the game. If they own it for PS4, they can download the PS5 version – and if they are already playing FIFA 21 on Xbox One, they can get the version for Xbox Series X.
If you only have the digital version of FIFA 21, the upgrade is simple:
Visit your console’s store
Select FIFA 21
Navigate to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S version. If the new version is not directly displayed, you can find it under the options of the Standard Edition
Start the download on your console.
However, keep in mind: It is possible that the update is not yet available for you and will only be unlocked at the official launch on December 4.
What about the disc version? If you own a FIFA 21 version on disc, you need it to download the new version. However, this will only be possible starting December 4.
Additionally, it is emphasized in the English FAQ on an EA site that you can have your disc purchase validated by EA Support to also use the upgrade on the digital PS5 or Xbox Series S, which do not have a drive.
What content can I transfer? Progress from FUT and Volta can be seamlessly transferred. The career mode, on the other hand, must be restarted on the new generation.
Crossplay between platforms is not available for the time being. If you want to play with your PS5 together with friends who only have the PS4 version, you will have to revert to the “old” version. However, you can switch between both versions at will.
In Pokémon GO there was a change in field research on December 1st. Until the end of the year, you will find new quests. We will show you all the tasks and tell you which ones are worth it.
What’s new: Amidst all the hype around level 50 and the first Pokémon from Generation 6, there was also an adjustment in field research. Since December 1st at 10:00 PM German time, there are new quests.
The tasks mainly revolve around the Ice and Fire types. This fits the current season, as Ice Pokémon appear mainly here and Fire Pokémon mainly appear in the southern hemisphere.
All field research in December 2020
Where do the quests come from? Diligent trainers have compiled all quests on TheSilphRoad . However, please note that particularly rare tasks may still be missing.
In addition, there are events throughout the month that also bring special quests. This includes the event for Generation 6. We will not list these tasks here.
Quest with throws
Land 5 great curveball throws in a row
Reward: Encounter with a Pandir #4*
Land 5 good throws
Reward: Encounter with a Voltobal*
Land 3 great throws
Reward: Encounter with a Nebulak*, Anorith* or Liliep*
Land 3 great throws in a row
Reward: Encounter with an Onix*
Land 3 fabulous throws in a row
Reward: Encounter with a Larvitar* or Kaumalat*
You should take the task around Pandir. It is rare and a bit tricky, but also worthwhile. After all, Pandir is among the rarest Shinys in the game.
The Voltobal quest is quick to complete and yields a Shiny that many trainers surely still lack.
Moreover, the field research with fabulous throws is strong. There you could get Kaumalat, which is certainly a very rare Pokémon. Additionally, it can be Shiny.
Reward: Encounter with a Quapsel*, Vulpix* or Shnebedeck*
Catch 10 Pokémon
Reward: Encounter with a Karpador*
Catch 5 different Ice-type Pokémon
Reward: 2 special candies
The task “Catch 5 Pokémon with weather boost” is quick to complete and brings 3 possible Shinys with it. So it’s worth it if you don’t already own these Shinys.
Reward: Encounter with Schiggy*, Bisasam* or Glumanda*
Earn 3 candies while walking with your buddy
Reward: Encounter with a Flunschlik
Fukano is currently available in a quest.
The task “Send 3 gifts” is quite quickly resolved and brings you a Hunduster, a Pokémon that is rather rare in Germany. If you lack the Shiny, you should complete the task.
There is also the Fukano quest revolving around buddy hearts. You could pick these up multiple times and then solve them together. Fukano is also rather rare in the wild.
What you should know about the Pandir form: This month, the Pandir form #4 is still available. So it hasn’t changed.
How long will the quests be available? It will likely be the last quest change of this year. So far, quests have always been active for a month. A change would therefore be conceivable on January 1st.
However, now there are the seasons, and it is possible that field research will only change when the seasons change. That would happen at the beginning of March.
Research breakthrough in December
What is available in the research breakthrough? This month there are 2 Pokémon in the research breakthrough: Lapras and Flampion. Both Pokémon will be available until January 1, 2021.
In Pokémon GO, there are also adjustments to the PvP mode. You can find all the information about this and whether it is worthwhile for you again in this article on MeinMMO:
Good news for some Amazon customers. The retailer is now shipping PS5 consoles ordered during the third wave earlier than planned.
This is new: On December 2, 2020, Amazon customers received emails about a changed delivery date. This concerns the PlayStation 5 consoles ordered from Amazon.de. During the 3rd wave, players could snag these coveted consoles from the online retailer. However, despite ordering on November 19, these were originally supposed to arrive only in the third week of December.
In the emails from December 2, the delivery date has been moved significantly forward. The console could now be delivered between December 4 and 5.
We are affected too
We from MeinMMO could also order a PS5 from Amazon during the 3rd wave on November 19. On the evening of December 2, we were informed about a change in the delivery date.
“There is a new estimated delivery date for your Amazon order. Once your items have shipped, we will send you a confirmation email.”
Additionally, the new delivery date is set for between Friday, December 4, and Saturday, December 5.
The email with the shipping confirmation has not yet arrived (as of 3.12.2020 – 10:03 AM).
This is what users show: On social media, PS5 orders continue to be a major topic. Users are talking about how Amazon also adjusted the delivery date of the PS5 for them. This appears to involve buyers who successfully ordered on November 19.

The MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online could be released for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This is at least suggested by information distributed to investors.
What exactly is the plan for a Next-Gen version of the MMORPG? The Lord of the Rings Online (LotRO) is currently only playable on PC. However, this could change in 2022. In a brochure distributed by the company EG7 to investors, The Lord of the Rings Online is also mentioned. EG7 is the company that is acquiring the developer studio Daybreak Games.
Regarding LotRO, it is said that visual and technical updates for PC and Next-Gen consoles are planned for 2022 to benefit from Amazon’s significant investment in a TV series related to The Lord of the Rings.
An excerpt from the brochure by EG7 to investors.
The Lord of the Rings could be released for Next-Gen
What does that mean exactly? The new owner of Daybreak Games apparently has plans to bring the MMORPG to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and enhance it. The planned TV series by Amazon is supposed to help increase interest in the online game so that more players want to experience adventures in the fantasy world of Middle-earth and then turn to LotRO.
To achieve this, the game, which was released in 2007, needs to be visually and technically overhauled and improved.
How likely is a release for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S? LotRO has now been around for over 13 years; by 2022, it will be 15 years. The MMORPG does not appear particularly modern already. This is not only true regarding the graphics but also about the gameplay mechanics.
Simply put, the cumbersome combat system with tab-targeting does not meet the modern, active, and action-packed fights that players are accustomed to from newer MMOs.
Thus, a lot of adjustments, optimizations, and improvements would be necessary for LotRO to make it “Next-Gen-Ready”. This raises the question of whether this work is even feasible.
Additionally, there is another MMORPG based on The Lord of the Rings in development, which is also being co-developed by Amazon. LotRO would have to compete with this game, which is being developed from the ground up, featuring modern gameplay systems and contemporary graphics. This could be very challenging.

What is the current status of LotRO? There are some information regarding the MMORPG that were also shared with investors. From this, the following can be inferred:
The Lord of the Rings Online has about 100,000 players worldwide (it is said to average 108,000 per month).
40 % of players are subscribers
As of September 30, 2020, LotRO recorded an annual revenue of 9.9 million US dollars
On average, a LotRO player invests 50 US dollars in the game monthly
80 % of fans have been around for more than 3 years
LotRO is doing quite well, and it is understandable that EG7, as the new owner of the developer studio Daybreak Games, wants to further tap into this potential.
What do you think? Will there really be a Next-Gen upgrade for The Lord of the Rings Online? Would such a game have a chance?
In Destiny 2, a new zone has now been discovered in an area that is three years old. It seems to be an Exotic mission that will reward you with Hawkmoon in Season 12.
What has been found: Players have now discovered a hidden area that you can enter from the European Dead Zone (EDZ). The newly discovered area is quite large and features a cave system, collapsed railway tracks, and remnants of the Traveler.
The zone is called “Hallowed Rift.”
Currently, players believe that this is the secret Exotic mission for the hand cannon Hawkmoon.
Can I enter the area myself? Yes, you can already take a look at the hidden area. However, getting into the area is not that easy. You need to glitch through walls and master quite complicated jumps.
Here you can check out the hidden zone and see exactly how to enter it:

Once you have entered the new area, you can move freely and explore everything. However, you won’t encounter enemies here, only a few annoying “Taken Pushers” are lurking around.
This is why it should be the Exotic mission for Hawkmoon
It has been officially confirmed by Bungie that the exotic hand cannon Hawkmoon will be available in the ongoing Season 12. There are now many indications that we will receive the popular weapon in the newly discovered area during a secret Exotic mission – just like the Whisper or the Outbreak before.
This speaks in favor of it: All weapons from the surprising Exotic missions with their own areas received 2 ornaments right at the release:
Similar to the Whisper mission from 2018, the new area is also located behind a Lost Sector. The zone is also structured similarly to the other mission zones. You just have to imagine a merciless timer and extremely difficult battles added to that.
It also fits from the story side: Uldren returns in Season 12 as the Crow and it is almost confirmed that we will receive the Hawkmoon quest from him. In the hidden area, you will find remnants of the Traveler. Anyone who remembers the Forsaken campaign knows that Uldren sought and attacked these in the EDZ.
Uldren as he captures a small shard of the Traveler
When should you get Hawkmoon in Season 12 of Destiny 2?
According to recent findings from data miners (via reddit), the ornaments are expected to arrive in the Eververse on December 15. Therefore, many now assume that the quest for Hawkmoon will be available then and that we will be able to enter the new area in the EDZ normally.
However, keep in mind that all this information has not been confirmed by Bungie. Therefore, it is speculation, even if the sources have often been correct in the past.
What do you think, have the players already found the secret mission for Hawkmoon here? Or is it a hidden area that has just been discovered after 3 years and has no relevance anymore?
Week 2 of WoW: Shadowlands is underway. We’ll tell you 5 things you should definitely get done before next Wednesday.
In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, the second week after release has begun. This means new unlocks, more progress for legendary items, and generally more to do to prepare for the upcoming raids. We’ll let you know what you should definitely get done in week 2 so you don’t fall behind. But don’t worry – even if you have limited time, you can only fall behind slightly in Shadowlands.
Visit Torghast
Even in the second week, you should make at least two visits to Torghast mandatory. This time the two wings “Fracture Halls” and “Mort’regar” are open. Together, both wings reward you with 610 Soul Ash, plus another 100 Soul Ash if you complete the quest from Bolvar Fordragon. If you were active last week, you should have gathered 1,250 Soul Ash by now and can start crafting your first legendary item. You can find all the details about crafting here. If you are still looking for the best Legendary for your specialization, this list will help.
You should check back in Torghast.
Weekly Quests for Ve’nari
In the Maw, there are not only two daily quests every day, but also two weekly ones that you can accept from the broker Ve’nari. These quests don’t take much time and can be completed in a few minutes. They grant a large amount of Stygia and reputation with Ve’nari. You need the reputation to unlock permanent upgrades in the Maw or Torghast. Later on, you can also unlock sockets and even legendary powers from Ve’nari.
Ve’nari sells many upgrades for the Maw and Torghast. You should follow up on this!
Try Out Your Covenant Feature
As in the first week, your covenant will again send you into the Maw to save 5 souls. The souls are grateful for their rescue and will serve you afterwards as “resources” to further develop your Covenant Sanctum. This allows you to finally utilize the special feature of your covenant:
With the Kyrian, you train your soul bonds for ascension
The Necrolords begin building their abominations
The Night Fae cultivate wild seeds and assist gods in rebirth
The Venthyr throw extravagant parties and fulfill the guests’ wishes
To make the party a success, you must take care of all the guests – for example with music.
Refill Anima Reserves
To continue leveling up in the glory of your covenant, you also need to gather 1,000 Anima again. This can be done through world quests, random dungeons, PvP battlegrounds, PvP missions, treasure chests, rare enemies, or adventures. Once you collect the 1,000 Anima and increase your covenant to renown level 5, your covenant campaign will continue.
You will then experience the next part of the extensive story and learn new secrets from the Shadowlands. Especially the Night Fae should be pleased, as they embark on a quest to discover the fate of Tyrande Whisperwind. But the other covenants also have cool stories that are now slowly coming to light.
If you’re interested in more about WoW, the following might also interest you:
When you are out in the Maw, you should also look out for the Jailer’s Fury. This is an event that occurs every hour and is clearly marked on the map. But join a group, as it is hardly beatable with fewer than 5 players.
After enough enemies have been killed in the marked area, the boss will appear and can be defeated. The boss has a chance to drop an item with an item level of 183. For druids, a legendary power might even drop.
However, keep in mind that you can only fight the boss for loot once per week. If you didn’t get anything the first time, you had bad luck and will have to try again next week.
If you have completed all the tasks mentioned above, you can certainly do much more in Shadowlands. After all, there are tasks, missions, and plenty of collectibles waiting at every corner. Why not try to farm these 5 mounts? Or just go out into the world and grab two of the coolest toys currently available in the game. Shadowlands has much to offer, and there’s something to see at every corner.
Finally, many players begin raid preparation. After all, next week the first season of Shadowlands starts, along with the raid Castle Nathria and the “Mythic+” dungeons.
Have you completed your tasks for the week yet? What goals have you set for yourself?
