Genshin Impact: 5 Things You Should Do Every Day as a Beginner

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 6 minutes

In the RPG Genshin Impact, there is much to do, and newcomers may feel overwhelmed. We name 5 tasks you should complete every day.

Even though Genshin Impact is at its core an RPG for solo players with a small co-op component, there are some parallels to MMORPGs. For instance, it is worthwhile to complete certain tasks in Genshin Impact day by day, reminiscent of the daily grind in MMOs. However, Genshin Impact provides long-term benefits.

So here we have listed 5 things that especially newcomers (but also veterans) should accomplish every day, time permitting. These tasks help you in the long run and speed up your progress, allowing you to advance faster later.

Complete the daily commissions from the Adventurers’ Guild

Basically, the name “daily commissions” already says it all, yet it should still be mentioned. Every day, you receive a random set of 4 commissions, either in Mondstadt or in Liyue. Typically, the commissions require only a few minutes of your attention but are extremely rewarding.

Each commission grants 250 Adventure Experience, 10 Original Resin, and some Mora.

If you complete all 4 daily commissions, you can then return to the Adventurers’ Guild to claim an additional reward of 20 Original Resin and 500 Adventure XP.

Genshin Impact Characters
For daily missions, you should set out every day. It will pay off in the long run.

Daily commissions are the fastest way to gather Adventure XP. Especially later in the game, this is important when quests are sparse, and you can only make noticeable progress through daily missions.

Spend your Original Resin

We have often reported on Original Resin. But no matter what you think of this mechanic, it is in the game and should be utilized. Original Resin is generated automatically over time, even when you are not logged into the game. You can have a maximum of 160 Resin; any additional Resin simply “expires” – you should not allow that to happen.

You can spend Resin by engaging in different activities and then claiming the rewards. Only for Resin can the rewards be collected. This resource practically limits how often you can obtain loot from certain sources. You can use Resin for the following:

  • Ley Line Outcrops: These are the “clouds” on the map. The yellow clouds provide Mora, while the blue ones provide XP items for your characters. Each Ley Line Outcrop costs 20 Original Resin.
  • World Bosses: The various Hypostases, Flora, and the Oceanid each cost 40 Original Resin. Since they drop good equipment and enhancement materials for your characters, you should regularly fight them and claim their treasures.
  • Domains: These mini-dungeons can be found everywhere on the map. They reward you with equipment or enhancement items for weapons or talents, and each run costs 20 Original Resin.
  • The big bosses: So far, there are 3 significant bosses in Genshin Impact: Stormterror, Tartaglia, and the Wolf challenge. All of these bosses can only be defeated once a week, and their treasures cost 60 Original Resin. The loot is worth this amount of Resin, so you should fight them each week.
Genshin Impact Noelle Resin
Original Resin regenerates over time – so always make sure to spend it.

However, keep in mind that many of these activities – especially the bosses – must be unlocked first. This happens automatically during the story. Once you have fought the bosses for the first time in the story, you can then challenge them weekly at increasing difficulty levels.

Resin can also be converted into Condensed Resin. We explain how it works here.

You can also use Resin to forge special crystals, but this is generally not recommended.

Complete the daily Battle Pass tasks

In addition to the daily missions, there are also daily tasks in the Battle Pass. This is unlocked only at Adventure Rank 20, but you should not overlook it.

Even if you are just a free-to-play player, there is a free reward path in the Battle Pass. When you reach a new level, you unlock useful rewards, such as Mora, experience points for your characters, or even Fate, which you can spend on wishes.

The daily missions are always the same:

  • Log into the game.
  • Mine 10 ores.
  • Complete 4 daily tasks.
  • Spend 150 Original Resin.

You should be able to complete the first three tasks every day without any problems, since you are completing daily missions anyway, and 10 ores can be collected “on the go”.

Genshin Impact Battle Pass Quests
The daily and weekly tasks in the Battle Pass can be rewarding.

Just don’t forget to collect the experience points for the Battle Pass so that they are added to your progress.

Send characters on expeditions

When you are at the Adventurers’ Guild, you should also send characters on expeditions. At the beginning, you can only send 2 characters, but over time, this limit increases to 5 characters.

Characters on an expedition can still be used in combat since Patch 1.1, so you don’t have to do without them. An expedition lasts up to 20 hours, and the longer it lasts, the better the materials found. It mainly concerns resources for the blacksmith (ores) or materials for cooking. You can also send characters for Mora, but the yield is quite low – it is rarely worth it.

By the way, expeditions also continue while you are not logged into the game. So it’s worth sending out a few characters before logging out, so they will be waiting for you the next day with their rewards.

Genshin Impact Expeditions
Expeditions bring you loot every day – you just have to click on them.

This is particularly useful if you let the characters look for ores. The ores found by your characters on expeditions also count towards the daily “Battle Pass” mission. Those who only log in and send their characters on missions can complete 2 out of 4 daily Battle Pass missions within seconds.

Collect local materials

In Genshin Impact, there is virtually endless collecting to do. Something is shining and blinking everywhere. After a short time, you feel overloaded and start leaving more and more items by the wayside.

But you shouldn’t do that. Many items that you don’t need at the beginning become very important later for upgrading characters. Items such as Dandelion Seeds or Philanemo Mushrooms should be collected whenever you see them.

The extra steps are worth it; otherwise, you will be slowed down later. At higher levels, characters may require 60 units of a plant or a special ore. Since these special plants and ores often have a respawn time of several days, farming can become frustrating.

Materials like Dandelion should never be left behind.

It is worth occasionally taking a detour to collect materials and have a well-stocked inventory in advance. Your characters will thank you during the next upgrade.

Many local materials can be found in the same places. Philanemo Mushrooms grow primarily in front of houses in Mondstadt, while Silk Flowers can only be found in the villages of Liyue, or Wolfhooks only near Wolfenlauf. It’s worth checking these areas every few days.

By the way, you also fulfill one of the weekly Battle Pass tasks by collecting 100 specialties from Liyue or Mondstadt. So it pays off doubly.

If you keep these 5 tips in mind, you should have no problems in Genshin Impact for the foreseeable future and easily reach high Adventure Ranks of 45 or more without encountering a special blockage in leveling your characters.

Do you have any additional tips and tricks for beginners in Genshin Impact?

Evil bots are now grabbing 1000 “Xbox Series X” consoles after PS5

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

After the PlayStation 5 had already suffered under resellers who snatched up consoles with bots, the Xbox Series is now also reportedly affected. Apparently, the same group that targeted the PS5 has once again attacked a large number of consoles.

Many gamers tried to get one of the new consoles this fall. However, both Xbox Series X and the PS5 generated huge demand and are currently hard to obtain. Another issue: In addition to “normal” gamers, other groups are also striking.

For example, on eBay there were downright ridiculous prices after successful console buyers decided to resell their new devices for a profit.

In addition, there are scalper networks like “CrepChiefNotify”. This group had already recently stated that they secured a total of 3,500 PlayStation 5 consoles. Members of networks like CrepChiefNotify use bots that buy up entire stocks of consoles (or other tech devices or products) that are normally hard to find within a very short time.

Xbox Series X follows the PS5

This is what has happened now: After the network had already extensively targeted the PS5, it is now reportedly also hoarding the Microsoft console in large quantities. As reported by “Dual Shockers”, CrepChiefNotify secured 1,000 consoles from an unknown retailer last Sunday. The group announced this itself on social media (via Instagram).

Now… we did it again! We just informed our members about a new Xbox Series X shipment from a very well-known online retailer. They have now managed to secure 1000+ and there are still many hours left.

Whoever snoozes, loses [You snooze, you lose]

crepchienotify via Instagram

Due to the pandemic, scalpers are supposedly profiting all the more as there are hardly any products offered in stores and bots online sometimes have better chances of accessing the contingents.

By the way, it’s not just the new consoles that are affected by scalping; other types of products can also be hit. For instance, the RTX 3080 graphics card was sold out very quickly – and ended up being sold at high prices on eBay.

Fallout 76: These 3 new features make Steel Dawn really good

Florian Franck Florian Franck Reading time 4 minutes

With the “Steel Dawn” update of Fallout 76 the Steel Brotherhood returns to Appalachia. MeinMMO presents 3 novelties that are really good and particularly noteworthy.

Steel Dawn was released a week early, already on November 24. The actual release was scheduled for December 1. The patch notes are extensive, and besides the Brotherhood, there are some interesting new features.

Why the new questline is not getting attention here: The return of the Steel Brotherhood is the highlight of the update. A brand new questline focusing on Paladin Rahmani, Knight Shin, and Scholar Valdez. In the first part of the story, you will learn more about the history of the Brotherhood in Appalachia. The quests will take you to new locations all over the map, and you will also encounter the Raiders in Crater and the Settlers in Foundation. With a character above level 20, you can start the new questline directly at Fort Atlas. Fort Atlas is located in the Savage Divide and can be reached via fast travel for free after initial discovery.

Highlights of the Steel Dawn update

With version 1.5.0.19, numerous changes make their way into the game. The update is released for all platforms and brings changes to balancing and performance, in addition to the new questline of the Steel Brotherhood. We would like to especially highlight three highlights of the update here.

Build your own vaults

These are the C.A.M.P. accommodations: With the update, the vault supply room was introduced, which is available to all players for free. The other two accommodations will be available starting Tuesday, December 1, in the Atomic Shop. 

If you want to build underground and let your creativity run free, travel to one of the numerous train stations and look for the accommodation center poster at the bulletin board. The short quest “Expansion of the Home” leads you to Vault 51. Upon arrival, you will descend into an existing vault supply room and receive an introduction to your personal vault from a Mr. Handy. The entrance to your personal C.A.M.P. accommodation can then be placed within your own C.A.M.P. Accommodations from other players will be marked on the map with an additional symbol.

Why C.A.M.P. accommodations are so good: The underground housing is instantiated, and items can be placed either freely or as usual in the grid construction. Each accommodation uses its own budget, which is independent of the C.A.M.P. above ground. This opens up completely new possibilities for players in designing their accommodation. If you have always wanted to build a jump’n’run course, you now have the opportunity to do so.

There are these three variants: 

  • Vault supply room: Available for all at no cost
  • Vault foyer: Initially only for Fallout 1st members, later in the Atomic Shop for everyone
  • Vault atrium: Available for purchase in the Atomic Shop starting December 1

In a video, Fallout 76 shows how easily you can build really cool vaults yourself.

Fallout 76 Shelters Megasloth
In C.A.M.P. accommodations, creativity knows almost no bounds.

Less hunger and thirst

Improvements in survival mechanics: In a post-apocalyptic world, hunger and thirst are probably ubiquitous. Even in Fallout 76, consuming pre-war food, such as the highly coveted perfectly preserved cake, or your own “delicacies” was a necessary evil for survival. That is over now. With the Steel Dawn update, the negative effects of hunger and thirst have been removed. Instead, there is now a bonus to AP regeneration, maximum HP, and disease resistance when you are partially nourished and hydrated. If you fill your stomach with Nuka-Cola and delicious food, you get a bonus of +1 endurance and strength when both bars are completely filled.

von Benedict Grothaus

A relatively simple survival mechanic thus becomes a useful feature. At least I, as a player, make sure to carry reasonable food through the world and not clutter it unnecessarily. MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus has collected some very helpful tips for inventory management for you.

Even before the release of Fallout 76, we at MeinMMO already reported on eating and drinking in Fallout 76. Many players were concerned that they would panic to a river every few minutes to drink contaminated water or that instead of exploring, they would spend all their time gathering food. After the release, it became clear that food intake is indeed an important factor, but not a decisive one.

The community on reddit is still divided on the issue of eating and drinking. There is a lot of pros and cons regarding the new mechanic. reddit user AFUSMC74 writes that Fallout 76 was never really a survival game, but only included survival elements. 

Some buffs and perk cards have become useless from the perspective of reddit user Arsenic_Touch, including legendary perks. 

New weapons and armor

What is coming now? The new weapons from the questline of the Steel Brotherhood are impressive. With the plasma cutter, melee fighters receive a new toy of death. Through modifications, the plasma cutter can also be equipped with a fire, electricity, or cryo blade. The respective plans for this can be found in the daily operations and are not tradable. 

You will receive the plasma cutter after completing the last mission of the new questline.

Fallout 76 - Steel-Dawn Update
One of the three new weapons: The plasma cutter

The Crusader pistol is a 10mm pistol that can be upgraded through numerous modifications. Players above level 50 receive the blueprint as a reward within the daily operations. The drop rates are fairly low:

  • Apprentice: 0.08 %
  • Knight: 0.17 %
  • Elder: 1.33 %

The less time you need to complete a daily operation, the higher your rank.

The Hellstorm rocket launcher: On its way to Appalachia, the Steel Brotherhood found Hellstorm rocket launchers in an unspecified government facility. Players receive the rocket launcher, which can fire four rockets simultaneously, within the new questline. What is unique is the ability to increase damage with both explosive and heavy weapon buffs. 

Which changes do you like best? Steel Dawn is the last major content update of 2020 and the best that could happen to Fallout 76.

On December 15, the third season of Fallout 76 begins and brings the new game board “Scholar of Avalalon”. With the game board, there are new rewards like unique items for your C.A.M.P., atoms, lunchboxes, as well as special paint jobs for weapons and armor, and much more. From December 1 to December 7, you will also receive double the amount of S.C.O.R.E. in daily and weekly challenges, ideal for all players who still need Season 2 rewards.

Destiny 2 confirmed: Two iconic Guardians are gay – And that was never a secret

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

For some, it has already been hinted, now it is official: 2 legendary Guardians from Destiny 2 are actually homosexual and in love with each other.

Bungie has now confirmed this: As there have been some discussions around this topic lately, Narrative Designer Robert Brookes from Bungie has made it unmistakably clear: Yes, the characters Saint-14 and Osiris are gay. And they have always been.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

Link to the Twitter content

On Twitter, Brookes stated that he has been writing these two characters as gay since he joined Bungie. Because that’s how they were lore-wise even before his time. It just has never been explicitly stated.

But when he saw how many uncertainties existed in the community about things like “Is Zavala a Guardian?”, he recently thought he should say something about this.

According to him, the fact that the two NPCs are gay is no secret, no speculation, or no puzzle that the community needs to solve. They simply are.

What was behind the speculations? Some fans have suspected this for a long time, but since the beginning of the new Season 12, attentive players have stumbled upon hints in the lore that the mysterious Warlock and the Vex-destroying machine Saint might be more than just friends. A lot seemed to indicate romance or even love between the two.

For instance, Osiris has found notes from Saint that he had hidden on his ship. There, Saint refers to Osiris as “his fiery phoenix.” Among other things, the Wandering also made remarks about the two in a dialogue – that they might be together.

The Warlock Osiris

Accordingly, there were some discussions in the community about whether there might really be more going on between them than just camaraderie, especially since Osiris breaks time to save his friend from death while risking the fate of the entire world.

With the new hints, it seemed more and more like love to some – and now we also have the official certainty.

This is how it is received: The community has been responding well to this news so far. Many see it as important – not only for the game but also as a general statement from Bungie as an open-minded studio that publicly stands for tolerance and diversity.

Although Destiny had already suggested homosexual characters in the past, none were as central as Osiris or Saint-14. Ana Bray, who has come back into the spotlight in the context of the “Beyond Light” story, has a relationship with another woman. The Awoken Queen Mara Sov has often been rumored to have flings with Lord Shaxx, but according to lore, her true love is Sjur Eido, who was killed during the Reef Wars.

Saint-14

Who are these two exactly? They are two important lore characters from the Destiny universe.

  • the Warlock Osiris – the mentor of Ikora Rey and former Vanguard Commander (before he was exiled by the Speaker).
  • and the Titan Saint-14 – one of the most famous Titans in the history of the Last City, who casually refers to himself as “the greatest Titan who ever lived”. He served as the first Titan Vanguard leader and was the right hand of the Speaker.

Both have a captivating, mystical backstory and became more prominent in the narrative during Season 9. There we had to help Osiris save Saint-14 (which the Warlock himself failed to do). Since his rescue, the 14th Saint has been in the Tower hangar leading the Trials of Osiris. And Osiris is back as part of Season 12 and is working with us and Uldren to take out new Hive constructs.

Also interesting:

But as we now know, the two are apparently connected by far more than just “the work as Guardians.” What do you think of this announcement? Do you see Saint and Osiris differently now, or could you better understand some lore pieces or story developments?

Steam gets a new MMORPG, but it sounds so hectic

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

A new MMORPG called Lands of Kehliel is currently being developed, which features a unique aspect for quests: You must hurry to complete them before other players.

What exactly is Lands of Kehliel? The MMORPG Lands of Kehliel places you in a fantasy world where you experience adventures from the capital city, Arquebus. The city serves as a hub where you can meet other players, build a house, equip your hero with better gear, and accept missions.

You can improve your heroes based on a Fame level. You gain Fame by successfully completing missions.

The MMORPG Lands of Kehliel features an interesting system for quests.

In Lands of Kehliel, you must hurry in quests

What is special about it? When you accept a quest, you team up with three other players. Now you must hurry: three other player groups want to complete this quest as well. The goal is to be the first group to master the given quest.

Since it is not possible to repeat quests, you must be quick and also strategic. For each trip to the outskirts of the city of Arquebus, you can accept a maximum of three quests. If you fail one, you don’t have to return to the capital immediately, but can try another mission instead.

You have the option between large and small contracts. Sometimes you may even need means of transportation like ships to reach your destination quickly.

Why is tactic necessary? You can stop and slow down other groups by fighting them in PvP. Imagine it like a round of Fall Guys: You need to reach the goal as quickly as possible before they do. Use any means necessary to eliminate and slow down your opponents.

Every killed player must respawn at the last visited city, losing valuable time in the process.

During your missions, you will also find resources to craft better gear in Arquebus.

Lands of Kehliel Artwork
In Lands of Kheliel, you need to complete missions and kill monsters before other player groups do.

How do the battles unfold? You play Lands of Kehliel from a top-down angle. This makes it somewhat reminiscent of hack and slay games like Diablo or the 2021 MMORPG Lost Ark. The battles are also fast-paced and action-packed.

When will the game be released? Initially, the team plans a Kickstarter campaign, which currently has no set date. Once the crowdfunding is successful, the Alpha phase is expected to start within a year. This phase will also last for one year. After that, a Beta for Lands of Kehliel is planned.

The release will then occur on Steam after this Beta.

Will the MMORPG also be released for consoles? A release on consoles is not currently planned.

We will inform you about other upcoming MMORPGs in the article “The 8 most promising new MMOs and MMORPGs for 2020 and 2021“.

Train in CoD Warzone offers a powerful tactic that you should try now

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone, there are many paths to victory – some are more efficient than others. A new tactic involving the loot train is among the more efficient methods. MeinMMO shows you the strategy and why an expert believes that it will soon be nerfed.

What is this tactic? In the Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone, it is all about finding the best starting position for the final decisive battle as the match progresses. This sometimes requires taking long routes, completing the right contracts, and gathering plenty of equipment.

At least the long routes can currently be avoided, as with the loot train tactic, you only need to maintain control of the Warzone train and still get what you need to potentially exit the round as a winner.

Currently, there is a reconnaissance contract to be found on the train that you must complete on the train. The special thing here: After completing it, the contract respawns, and you can complete it again and again without even having to leave the train.

CoD-Zug-Warzone
The loot train is unstoppable – A few crazies have still tried to stop it.

Why is this so strong? Recon contracts give you a preview of the upcoming gas circles in the match. You see how the battlefield develops over time. Completing more reconnaissance provides previews of additional circles.

With the loot train tactic, you no longer need to travel wildly through Verdansk, but you just need to “defend” the train and can then repeatedly start the next reconnaissance. This also brings you a ton of cash and loot as a reward for each contract completed.

Once you have earned enough preview circles, you can leave the train, pick up the best weapons in Warzone with your loadouts, and take a strong position for the final fight.

Here you can find more Warzone tactics:

Why isn’t it that easy? The loot train is an exciting mechanic in the game that promises you secure equipment at the start of the round. You will find good boxes, ammunition, and also the contract. A worthwhile target for many teams in the game.

Taking over the loot train is sometimes not that easy. If 2 or 3 teams rush to the rail at the start, the chances of taking a trip to the Gulag are often better than a leisurely city tour.

And even if you have taken the train, attacks can continue. The loot loc makes a lot of noise, and when it rushes past, many players glance at the mechanical monster and unload bullets on the soldiers aboard.

Why could the tactic be nerfed? The YouTuber and CoD expert JGOD presents the tactic in an English video and does not believe that the strategy will be possible for long. Here is his video on it:

He believes the advantages from the train tactic are just too powerful. The team has a much lower risk compared to if it had to move around the map to complete as many reconnaissance contracts.

In addition to the strong circle preview from the reconnaissance contracts, the team also rakes in massive money and equipment. In his opinion, this is not proportional to other Warzone tactics, and he thinks that the train tactic will soon disappear again.

To be successful in the Battle Royale, you should try out all possible tactics and take every advantage. This includes, for example, various loadouts that work better in specific situations than the standard equipment you usually carry. Here you can find 6 loadouts that you should always have with you.

ESO has a lot of content – This overwhelms some new players

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online has now reached an impressive abundance of content. However, since it cannot be filtered, new players often feel hopelessly overwhelmed and sometimes don’t even know how to play the story in the correct order.

ESO has been providing new content steadily for over 6 years, and those who buy the game now usually get all previous chapters included in the base game, including the current chapter add-on Greymoor.

Those who also subscribe to ESO Plus have access to all other DLCs, including big ones like Orsinium, the Thieves Guild, and the Dark Brotherhood. This is enough content to spend many hours in Tamriel, but especially for new players, it also brings problems.

What is the problem with all this content? The reddit user LemonLimine summarizes what many players may be thinking – namely that it is really difficult to follow the story in the chronologically correct order:

For example, you buy a DLC and start with it. This has been the case since Morrowind and is really annoying if you just want to play through the Vestige storyline [from the base game]. You have to struggle to start the main quest. This is obviously confusing for new players who just land at the spot where the last DLC is.

But when you actually try to complete the story in order (i.e., going to Coldharbour and meeting the Prophet, etc.) [it gets complicated]. Once you get out of the starting zones, there are a million quest symbols everywhere trying to urge you to start one of the DLCs. It’s frustrating to sift through so many quests when you actually just want to find the ones you should be doing if you want to follow the story in the correct order.

How complex the story of ESO can be and how to “play it right” can be found here:

How to play ESO “correctly” – The optimal order for all 17 DLCs and chapters
von Jürgen Horn

Players wish for filters for the abundance of content

Players are frustrated by intrusive NPCs: The thread by LemonLimine has resonated with many ESO players. He is by far not the only player who feels overwhelmed by the abundance of content and the annoying NPCs promoting it:

  • MadMartigan808 says: “The prologue quests are so damn invasive!”
  • TempestM feels similarly: “Yes, strolling through Vulkhel Guard with a new character is hell. So many NPCs [wanting something from me] at the wayshrines, the bank, etc.”
  • Gryphin even has a specific example of a particularly annoying NPC who insists that you GO to Elsweyr for dragon hunting NOW: “Do you know what you are going to do? I’m looking for you because of dragons in your homeland! – This comes up every damn time I port to the wayshrine in Vulkhel Guard.”
  • Player VayneArior started ESO with Morrowind and didn’t even know that the starting area was the DLC area: “I had no help when I started playing ESO, and I started in Vvardenfell, completely unaware that it was even a DLC.”

This is what players want: Since the problem annoys many, there were also various ideas in the thread on how to solve it. One user suggests perhaps using different colors for the quest markers from the different DLCs and chapters. Then at least it would be clear that the quest with the dragons does not belong to the base game, but to the Elsweyr chapter.

Additionally, new players should have the choice of where to start in the story. Because so far, you automatically enter the prologue of Greymoor and have to awkwardly search for the starting quest of the base game if you want to begin with that. Many players in ESO would like this choice. Another option would be to at least silence the annoying NPCs who constantly barrage you with the latest DLC quests.

By the way, if you want to return to ESO, this article might be helpful:

By the way, one player has a special suggestion: ESO should take inspiration from World of Warcraft. Because WoW also has tons of addons and a convoluted story. But thanks to the feature “Chromie Time”, you can selectively choose and relive past content. Such a feature would certainly not be wrong for ESO and its confusing abundance of content.

How to use the unusually large mushroom in WoW and get your frog mount

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is full of new secrets that players can discover and some of which they encounter quite early. One of these secrets is the “unusually large mushroom” found in Ardenweald. You can use it to obtain a secret mount. MeinMMO reveals how it works.

What kind of mushroom is this? The unusually large mushroom is an item that you will likely find fairly early during quests in Ardenweald. It has a duration of only 20 minutes and cannot be used directly.

You need it to obtain the mount “Forest Viper” through a hidden quest, a rideable frog. However, the mushroom itself looks rarer than it actually is.

wow shadowlands forest viper mount
This stylish frog can be yours as a reward.

Where can I find it? The unusually large mushroom drops everywhere in Ardenweald and in the associated dungeons, The Other Side and Mist of Tirna Scithe. The latter is among the three best dungeons in Shadowlands.

Every enemy there has a chance to drop this mushroom as loot. It is not particularly rare and you don’t have to explicitly farm it. If you simply complete world quests or other activities, you should find one quickly. Otherwise, you can defeat any enemies in the areas.

Frequently asked questions about WoW Shadowlands on MeinMMO:

Plant the unusually large mushroom and grab the Forest Viper

How to use the mushroom: Once you have acquired a mushroom, take it to the coordinates 32 / 30 in the northwest, northwest of Dreamsong Fenn. In our guide, we explain how to display coordinates.

At that location, you will find the object “Wet Clay.” Use the clay while you have the mushroom in your inventory and a “rapidly growing mushroom” will appear. This will transform into the rare enemy Ri’sig after a few seconds.

WoW Shadowlands Ardenwald clay location
Here you will find the clay to summon the boss.

Ri’sig has a considerable amount of hit points, so it is advisable to bring friends. It is sufficient for one person to plant the mushroom. Once you have defeated Ri’sig, he will definitely have the mount “Forest Viper” with him.

What other secrets are there? In Shadowlands, there are hidden quests, NPCs, or secrets around every corner that you can discover. One new NPC has reminded MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus of his saddest moment in WoW.

As we enter the realm of the dead with the new expansion, it offers many opportunities to reunite with old acquaintances while also taking entirely new paths. However, this does not seem to please all players.

Even though Shadowlands is full of content, there were particularly bad reviews at release on Metacritic. Although that is slowly improving, there are still dissatisfied players. How about you: is Shadowlands top or flop?

Where is Age of Wushu 2 currently, the beautiful new PC MMORPG?

The new PC MMORPG Age of Wushu 2 looked really good in the first screenshots. But how is the game doing that we haven’t heard anything about for a long time?

What was Age of Wushu 2 supposed to become? The MMORPG from Snail Games was planned as a survival MMORPG, although survival in this case should not be equated with games like Conan Exiles or Rust.

Snail Games explained that you have to survive in the open game world by forging your own path. You follow a Martial Arts school and learn their fighting style. Age of Wushu 2 was supposed to take place in ancient China just like its predecessor. Through your chosen school, you would have been able to access quests that would guide you through the world. Additionally, beat ’em up-like PvP battles against players from rival schools would have been possible.

Furthermore, you could have founded your own martial arts school and trained NPCs there. Therefore, it would have been very important to interact with the population, complete quests for them, and build a relationship of trust.

Age of Wushu looked really good in the first images.

No good news about Age of Wushu 2

Wait, why is this being told from the past? As it looks, Age of Wushu 2 is probably no longer coming. Currently, rumors are circulating that Snail Games has halted the project and its funding. Allegedly, the game lacked a clear direction. This has not yet been officially confirmed.

How likely is that? The rumors sound quite plausible. After all, there haven’t been any new information about the MMORPG for over a year. There hasn’t even been a trailer to see.

Why is that a shame? Age of Wushu 2 looked stunning in the first screenshots thanks to Unreal Engine 4. Although there was no gameplay seen yet, the images made you eager to explore and experience ancient China in its beauty.

Moreover, the predecessor (known here as Age of Wulin) had a fantastic atmosphere thanks to beautiful landscapes and fitting Chinese music. Experiencing these qualities in modern form with new gameplay elements could have been a lot of fun.

Twitch bans one of its largest streamers forever – Because of a picture

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

The streaming platform Twitch has permanently banned the streamer Sebastian “forsen” Fors (29). He is one of the 100 largest streamers on Twitch and a cornerstone of the platform. The reason for the ban is a picture that shows sodomy. Apparently, Forsen was set up by a troll. Fans criticize the ban and accuse Twitch of being inconsistent.

Who is Forsen? With 1.4 million followers, Forsen is one of the 100 largest streamers on Twitch. He is also an influential streamer: he has been on the platform since 2011. Many memes of Twitch culture have originated from his channel.

Forsen became known as a strategy gamer, but now he mainly showcases indie games away from the mainstream and does his own thing. He is known for his aggressive and trolling community. They have already driven other Twitch streamers like Dr Disrespect to despair. Now they have caused Forsen’s own downfall.

Forsen shows an innocent picture that becomes pornographic

What was Forsen permanently banned for? Forsen held a “React stream”. There, viewers send him links which he then watches and reacts to live. He clicked on an imgur link that was apparently sent to him by a fan.

This Imgur link actually shows an innocent meme but switched to a pornographic image after about 9 seconds, depicting a sodomitic act. The image featured a young woman and a horse.

You can see the incident with the image here. The image is censored here; otherwise, it would have been removed from YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f5iapecNU0

Forsen immediately closed the link and said, “That’s why we can’t have nice things,” meaning, “You ruin everything here.” But although it was only for a short time, he apparently received the permanent Twitch ban for showing this image, as he later confirmed on Twitter.

Forsen says: The ban came due to the “horse image.” The ban has no set end. He considers it “unlucky” – “bad luck.”

More about Twitch bans on MeinMMO:

Accusation: Twitch measures with double standards

This is the discussion: There is a discussion about this Twitch ban: Most of Forsen’s followers on Twitter feel that the ban is not justified.

Twitch CEO Emmet Shear has pointed out how important the context is in which a ban is issued.

Forsen did not show the image intentionally. Furthermore, Twitch is said to measure with double standards.

The streamer Pokimane accidentally showed porn on her channel and was only warned. However, Forsen was permanently banned. At Twitch, only “simps” seem to work.

One user says: It cannot be that Pokimane and Alinity are free while Forsen is banned.

The streamer Alinity has been accused of being too intimate with her dog.

“Horses don’t wear clothes!”

The perhaps best reaction came from the WoW streamer Asmongold.

He apparently didn’t know what the image really showed and assumed it just showed a naked horse. He then exclaimed: This is totally normal: “Horses don’t wear clothes.”

When he later found out what the image was really about, he laughed and remarked: “Well, that’s a bit different.”

Reaction streams as a permanent ban risk

This is what’s behind it: These reaction streams on Twitch work such that viewers send the streamer a link, and he clicks it, shows the appropriate material to his viewers, and reacts to it live.

Trolls repeatedly try to slip poisoned links to streamers, which then lead to trouble with Twitch. Streamers are aware of this and check the links beforehand or have them checked by mods.

The gif in question was a kind of ticking bomb that only activated after 9 seconds and went off. Apparently, Forsen was outsmarted this way.

Forsen has been banned more frequently lately. He feels he has been treated unfairly. The last time he said, he was banned just because of his Swedish accent.

So far, Forsen has only received temporary bans. This time, the “endless” ban is a different level.

In constant danger of getting banned: xQc

The most well-known “reaction” streamer on Twitch is xQc. He is also constantly at risk of being slipped a “poisoned” link by fans. In June 2020, xQc was banned for something similar to what Forsen is facing now. He had briefly shown two gorillas having sex:

Bungie has been developing new games for 3 years – Fans of Destiny 2 criticize this

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 4 minutes

The boss of Bungie spoke in an interview about the development of new projects for which they are massively hiring talent. Guardians are now wondering: does this have an impact on Destiny 2?

The CEO of Bungie, Pete Parsons, spoke in an interview about the studio behind Destiny 2 and their future plans. He proudly addressed that they have been working on other projects for 3 years, for which the studio is currently making significant investments. This is causing criticism among the Guardians.

This is what the interview is about: On November 27, Peter Parsons spoke with GameCentral (via Metro). Towards the end of the interview, the focus clearly shifted away from Destiny 2 and the new expansion Beyond Light, towards Bungie’s future as a studio and new projects.

They want to mix in a lot of “Bungie’s Secret Sauce” to the titles – the secret recipe that makes Bungie games so tasty. According to Parsons, they have been brewing on the new titles for 3 years, since 2017.

Initially starting the work with a small team, they have recently been hiring new employees at a breakneck speed. The “new talents” and the resulting team are the most important resource for Bungie in the entire studio.

Destiny-2-Pete-Parsons-1140x445
Pete Parsons

Even more important than releasing new games, according to Parsons, is the question:

How do we build teams that know how to work together and – most importantly – create magical things?

In the interview, it was mentioned that Bungie is hiring so many new employees that “almost a quarter of them have never set foot in the studio.” This refers to the fact that Bungie has been working largely from home for some time – Destiny 2 is being further developed from home.

The strong focus on new projects, the fruits of which we are supposed to see sometime before 2025, is also heating up the emotions of some Destiny players.

More about the studio behind Destiny 2 and its employees can be found here on MeinMMO:

Parsons has been the CEO of Bungie since 2016. His predecessor Harold Ryan has since founded a new game studio, which works with currently 100 employees on the revolution of blockbuster titles:

von Schuhmann

Because Destiny 2 is doing poorly, Bungie’s policies are receiving criticism

That Bungie is growing and evolving as a studio should be good news. However, instead, there is harsh criticism for Parsons’ statements and the plans for Bungie’s future.

Why are the Guardians angry? The tone of the criticism is unanimous (via PCGamer):

  • “So D2 releases are only the absolute minimum, they are diverting resources to another game.”
  • “It’s amazing to see how a developer can go from producing incredible games to a total crash within the span of two releases.”
  • “It must feel great to be part of the Destiny 2 team with the minimum support and resources available to them. As far as I know, the overwhelming majority of Bungie’s developers are focused on these new titles, with the D2 team receiving only minimal support.”

The Guardians feel betrayed, their Destiny 2 is being left behind and the new talents and investments benefit the new projects.

If Destiny 2 were flourishing, the reactions might be different. However, since the savior Forsaken launched in 2018 and the split between Bungie and Activision Blizzard occurred less than half a year later, there has essentially been a phase of constant criticism.

Whether the development of other games at Bungie will have an impact – positive or negative – on Destiny 2, is something that no one can say for certain at this time.

More on the topic
The head of Destiny 2 says: “Unlikely that we will ever see something like Forsaken again”
von Philipp Hansen

What do we know about the future of Destiny 2 and the new projects at Bungie?

The course for the future of Destiny 2 is already set for the next few years:

  • Recently released the expansion “Beyond Light” (November 2020), which serves as the beginning of a trilogy.
  • In 2021, the next chapter “Witch Queen” will be released.
  • In 2022, “Lightfall” will conclude the trilogy and (at least for now) bring the saga of light against darkness to an end.
  • What will happen next is still uncertain. However, we know that Bungie is committed to Destiny 2 and aims to develop it into an action MMO that combines the best of Destiny 1 and its successor. And apparently, the story of Destiny 2 is not yet fully told with Lightfall, as Bungie revealed to MeinMMO in an interview.
Will Beyond Light bring enough to appease the Guardians?

For many, Beyond Light is now seen as a kind of last chance for Destiny 2. If Bungie fails with this DLC, some players are threatening to hang up their Guardian careers.

New IP from the Destiny creators – what do we know about “Project Matter”?

Even though Bungie has been brewing on other projects besides Destiny 2 for 3 years, we are largely in the dark regarding that.

This is known:

What do you think? Do you think Bungie is neglecting Destiny 2, or are the new talents and the connected team benefiting the entire studio, including Destiny 2? Let us know in the comments.

CoD Cold War: A pro says SMGs are worthless – But what are the alternatives?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War pro player Envoy has no regard for the submachine guns (SMGs). According to him, they are currently useless in the game and far inferior to the assault rifle class. You can find out why this is the case according to the pro here.

Who is Envoy? Dylan “Envoy” Hannon is a 20-year-old pro gamer currently playing for the OpTic Chicago team in the CDL. Following the release of Cold War, the first e-sport rounds took place, and according to Envoy, a quite rigid meta-game seems to be developing.

What is Envoy’s opinion? Unlike Modern Warfare, where both assault rifles and submachine guns had a fixed place in the meta, it seems that the multiplayer of Cold War is leaning towards a brutal dominance of the assault rifles.

Link to the YouTube content
Starting at 1:44, the point about SMGs arises.

In a discussion with his teammates, the SMG player Envoy stated that “SMGs are simply useless in this game.” The reason for this is likely that they had a mixed setup at the start and were absolutely dominated by teams coming in with four assault rifles.

We faced [the team from] New York and they had four AK74s in Moscow. That blew my mind. The SMGs are much harder to play in this game. We then switched to the AK-74u, which is a bit easier to play, but the MP5 was just impossible.

The German submachine gun has indeed been nerfed recently:

More on the topic
CoD Cold War: Update nerfs best weapon – This changes with the MP5
von Sven Galitzki

What can one use instead of SMGs?

These are the reasons against using SMGs: As Envoy and his comrades stated, it is very difficult to compete against assault rifles on the maps with the current SMGs. The maps are also more designed for assault rifles. Envoy has said:

“So many head glitches, so many open alleys, and hills from which you can see them well.” This makes it partly impossible to capture some of the mission objectives.

Therefore, the meta-game is currently strongly focused on assault rifles. A good rifle that every player should get soon is the good old M16, for which we have written a guide here.

One of the reasons why submachine guns are currently so hard to play is certainly due to the strange bullet velocity that has been implemented in Cold War for these weapons. SMGs shoot significantly slower projectiles than in other CoD games. Why that is and what you can do about it, you will find out here at MeinMMO.

The fascinating case of the LoL coach who allegedly choked a player

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

In South Korea, there is an obsession with a case in League of Legends: The LoL coach Kim “cvMax” Dae-ho is alleged to have choked his player Choi “Sword” Sung-won. The case is being investigated like a court case. Now, 2 witnesses have been cross-examined.

This is the background: Coach cvMax is something like the “shining figure” in South Korean LoL. He is considered a “super coach” who discovers and nurtures talent. The newcomer guided the team Griffin from the second league to the World Championship. cvMax was however dismissed just before the Worlds 2019.

Allegations arose that cvMax had physically attacked and choked one of his players: the top laner “Sword”. He was considered the weakest link of Team Griffin and actually imploded upon elimination from the Worlds 2019.

LoL-Sword
The former top laner of Team Griffin, Sword.

cvMax was banned from LoL for life after the allegations against Sword, but the fans protested. Riot Games relented, lifted the ban, and ordered a new investigation. This investigation has been ongoing for almost a year now.

The team Griffin itself plays no more role; it was dissolved after a scandal in 2019. But cvMax continued in 2020 with two of his players at DRX, again made it to the Worlds, but this team also fell apart now.

Cross-examination like in a court drama

What makes the case so fascinating? The Korean site Inven has now published the transcript of two cross-examinations. Two assistant coaches from Team Griffin were meticulously questioned about the incident, whether cvMax choked the top laner Sword or not.

The interrogations read like scenes from a courtroom drama like “Law and Order.”

The prosecutor aims to prove that cvMax repeatedly physically touched his players and that this behavior is excessive. Other coaches would never behave this way.

The defender wants to prove that it was only in the best interest of the players and that they “somehow deserved” this behavior because they played weakly. The touching was supposed to serve as a coaching method, not as a loss of impulse control.

In December, there is supposed to be a fifth and final hearing: Apparently, another player will be questioned who followed cvMax to the new team, either Chovy or Doran. After that, a verdict is expected.

LoL-Drx.v1
Even cvMax’s new team, DRX, has already fallen apart.

After the end of Team Griffin, cvMax made a new attempt with DRX to become world champion. The team was successful under his leadership and quickly became number 2 in South Korea. However, this team did not last long either. After just a year, DRX completely fell apart:

LoL professional sadly recounts how one of the best teams in the world fell apart

The defender tries to discredit the witnesses’ reports as unreliable because they could not immediately recall details. It is about marks from choking on the neck.

According to the records, you said: “I think I saw that he touched your neck and shook you,” but in the questioning, they said they only saw him hit the chair.
When we went for food, I saw that Sword’s neck was red and swollen. I saw bloody imprints from fingernails on his neck.
When was that?
I think it was in the spring, but I’m not sure about the exact date. I told Sword to treat the area with ointment, but I didn’t apply it myself.
Sword did not mention any bloodstains on his neck. Did that just occur to you?
I said it before, but I don’t remember if it came up.
Did you see that cvMax did that?
I did not see it.
Did Sword say that cvMax did that?
Sword didn’t even know he had bloodstains on his neck.

The difficulty is that apparently no one really saw the actual incident, the choking. The coach is said to have held and shaken players by their shoulders. In addition, he is said to have hit the players’ gaming chair. This has happened more frequently; that seems to be agreed upon. But whether it escalated further and he really choked a player is the crucial point.

The defender constructs it such that top laner Sword was a weak player who died 10 times in a practice match and was later replaced by a better player, Doran. Sword would thus, it is implied, have a motive to frame the coach.

Cv-Max-Sword
Here, cvMax joyfully embraces Sword – but he is also alleged to have choked him.

What makes the case so delicate: The public sentiment in South Korea seems to be completely on the side of cvMax. He is seen as someone who is extremely ambitious and leads his team to success.

When cvMax was banned for life, the petition for his “release” garnered 200,000 signatures.

Sword is the “scapegoat” in the story, portraying himself as a victim because he was simply too weak. It is suggested: Sword has conspired and complained to the management to return to the team. But without the new star top laner and the brilliant coach, Team Griffin had no success at the Worlds 2019, according to the perspective of many fans.

In December, there is supposed to be a fifth and final hearing: Apparently, another player will be questioned who followed cvMax to the new team, either Chovy or Doran. After that, a verdict is expected.

LoL-Drx.v1
Even cvMax’s new team, DRX, has already fallen apart.

After the end of Team Griffin, cvMax made a new attempt with DRX to become world champion. The team was successful under his leadership and quickly became number 2 in South Korea. However, this team did not last long either. After just a year, DRX completely fell apart:

Politician explains how her hell in LoL helped her to become better at her job

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

In League of Legends there is the so-called Elo Hell, where many players end up. To escape from it, it requires a lot of patience and strength. U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared in a livestream on Twitch that she herself was stuck in this hell and is now benefiting from it in her job.

Who is it about? U.S. politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (31, also known as AOC) is considered the great hope of the political left in the U.S. The New Yorker won the congressional election in 2018, even though she entered without financial resources and as a complete underdog.

She made headlines in October 2020 when 600,000 people watched her play Among Us on Twitch. Generally, the politician is considered gaming-affine and it has been known for some time that she plays League of Legends.

In her second livestream on Twitch, AOC spoke about her experiences in the Elo Hell of LoL and how this experience even helps her in her job as a politician.

“It really strengthens patience”

What does AOC say in the stream? In the livestream, AOC played the popular indie game Among Us with others. However, during a waiting phase for more players, she was asked various questions.

In response to a question about whether her experiences in LoL would help her in Congress, AOC replied:

Being trapped in Elo Hell requires so much patience. I played… with about 12-year-olds who rage-quit the game after 5 minutes.

So yes, it really strengthens patience.

During the livestream, she talked about how much better it is once you have left Elo Hell. Then you can finally play with players who are as good as you are. From there, the games become really fun.

What is Elo Hell? Elo Hell (or MMR Hell) refers to a certain area in the ranking of competitive games from which it is difficult to escape. Most players usually find themselves there, leading to a highly fluctuating quality of matches.

Some of them think they are better than they actually are, while others play just for fun and do not want to improve. Additionally, many in Elo Hell rely on individual actions rather than good team performance, which can be fatal in LoL.

What rank is AOC in? It is currently difficult to say. She last shared her progress in July 2020. She reached Silver 3 and compared the “right Twitter” to fighting against 13-year-olds in LoL (via Dot Esports).

However, she revealed in the stream what role she takes in ranked matches. AOC prefers to play as support, usually with defensive characters like Janna, Lux, Morgana, or Sona. However, she likes to play them aggressively, which according to her sometimes backfires.

Over 100,000 watch the second livestream

How many watched AOC? When the politician went live for the first time in October, she had a peak of 439,000 viewers. That was a really strong number. Back then, she played along with well-known personalities such as:

This time, familiar faces were also present, such as DisguisedToast, HasanAbi, who dominated on Twitch during the U.S. election, or the well-known streamer xQc.

The second livestream peaked at 104,000 viewers. This places AOC in the top 10 of the most simultaneous viewers on Twitch in the last 7 days (via Sullygnome).

Twitch-AOC

However, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does not only spend her time streaming on Twitch, but has also tried to make the platform better from her perspective.

She wanted to prevent the U.S. Army from using Twitch to appear “hip and trendy” and thereby recruit young gamers for military service:

CoD Cold War: Beginner’s Guide for Zombies – How to Succeed in Your First Rounds

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 13 minutes

The first rounds in Zombie mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War can be shockingly confusing. MeinMMO shows and explains the most important mechanics for starting on the Zombie map “Die Maschine”.

The co-op mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War sends you to a spooky facility in Poland that is completely infested with zombies. Your task here: Uncover the dark secrets of the map “Die Maschine”.

But before you can solve any of the crazy Easter eggs on the map, you must gear up for the fight against increasingly stronger zombie hordes. MeinMMO shows you the basics of the Zombie mode and how to gather enough firepower to survive many rounds in this guide.

If you’re already familiar with the basics, you can head straight to the Guide for “Die Maschine” on page 2.

To create the guide, we watched beginner videos from CoD Zombie YouTubers and played a few rounds ourselves to better understand the mechanics. You can find the links in the sources at the end of a page.

Cold War Zombies: Beginner’s Guide with Tips for Survival

What is the objective in Zombie mode?

In the co-op mode of Black Ops Cold War, you should uncover the secrets of an old bunker facility hidden in the zombie-infested depths. The story is not linear, but hidden in puzzles and Easter eggs that you explore deeper with each new match.

What is the difficulty?

The zombies come at you in waves, and with each new wave, a greater challenge awaits. You can follow the story while also dealing with the undead or try to destroy as many waves as possible.

What does this guide help with?

To be able to follow the story, you need a certain base strength that you obtain through mechanics in the match. Without these upgrades, you will only survive a few rounds, as the zombies get stronger over time. The guide shows you the basics of the mechanics, how to get strong equipment, and the first quest steps up to the Pack-a-Punch machine.

Mechanics in Zombie Mode

The mechanics in Zombie mode differ fundamentally from those in multiplayer. The weapon damage depends on rarity, and zombies bring their own field upgrades and perks. Here are a few explanations of the basics:

Zombies

All enemies on the map are zombies and represent the main source of your currencies. They are not only in your way but also your source for progress.

During a match, you will encounter various types of undead, some more humanoid than others, and some also bring their own attacks and mechanics. With each round, the zombies gain more health and increase their damage over time:

  • Round 1 to 10: 30 damage
  • Round 11 to 30: 50 damage
  • from Round 51: 80 damage

This makes it increasingly difficult to withstand the hordes, and you need upgrades to stay alive while keeping the zombie horde dead.

cod cold war zombies the green disgusting creatures
You encounter different types of the nasty undead.

Currencies & Materials

There are 3 currencies in the match that are important for you to fight zombies more effectively:

  • Essence
  • Scrap
  • Premium Scrap

Essence is the main currency in Zombie mode, which you also earn with every zombie kill. You can use it to remove barricades, buy weapons, procure ammunition, or upgrade your weapons with Pack-a-Punch upgrades.

Scrap provides you with some items at the workbench, including tactical and explosive equipment. You also need the material to upgrade your weapons and armor.

Premium Scrap gives you access to supports that you can use in Zombie mode. These items provide a strong bonus, including a powerful combat bow, a lifesaving self-revive kit, or the zombie-slaying helicopter shooter that can even temporarily remove you from the map. You also need premium scrap to upgrade your weapons and armor to the highest levels.

How to obtain Aetherium Crystals?

You obtain the crystals by completing a certain number of waves in Zombie mode. After 10 rounds, you’ll receive the first crystal, and then another after every 5 rounds. If you let yourself be evacuated, you get one more on top of that. At higher waves, you can collect even more crystals.

With this currency, you can permanently improve your equipment outside the match:

  • Weapon classes
  • Field upgrades
  • Perks
  • Ammunition modifications

Go to the upgrade menu in the Zombie tab and select “Abilities”.

Weapon Rarity & Upgrades

In Zombie mode, you can use all weapons from multiplayer. However, your loadout weapons only help you in the first few rounds, as their damage is directly dependent on their rarity. There are a total of 5 rarities in the following order:

  • Red
  • Green
  • Blue
  • Purple
  • Orange

To improve your firepower, you have several options during the match:

  • Upgrade for scrap or premium scrap in the arsenal
  • Buy weapons with essence that are hanging on the walls (outline color indicates rarity)
  • Activate the Mystery Box to receive a random weapon
  • Complete quests to unlock specific weapons

The further you progress in the waves, the better weapons you’ll receive from the walls and the Mystery Box. The weapons also have attachments that improve the weapon’s stats. You can roll them again at the arsenal.

You receive the ultimate upgrades through the upgrades at the Pack-a-Punch machine and by adding ammunition modifications.

cod cold war zombies ray gun dimension
In Zombie mode, there are many ways to increase your firepower.

Field Upgrades

Field upgrades are active abilities that trigger strong effects. You select them before the match in your loadout. After use, they become available again after a certain cooldown:

  • Frost Shot: Spreads damage, makes zombies more susceptible and slower
  • Energy Mine: Proximity mine that deals high damage
  • Aether Veil: Zombies do not attack you for a few seconds
  • Heal Aura: Heals you and your teammates in the vicinity
  • Fire Ring: Creates a ring that boosts your damage and deals damage to zombies

All upgrades can be further enhanced with Aetherium crystals, receiving additional bonuses.

Field upgrades recharge after use.

Perks

The perks in Zombie mode are not selected beforehand; you have to buy them in the match – in the form of refreshment drinks. Scattered all over the map are 6 machines where you can buy the strengthening drinks for essence:

  • Jugger-Nog: Better health
  • Speed Cola: Faster reloading
  • Quick Revive: Faster healing
  • Stamin-Up: Increases speed
  • Elemental Limo: Shots can deal elemental damage
  • Deadshot Daiquiri: Aim assist for critical hits

The perks can also be significantly improved with Aetherium crystals. Every perk you draw from the machines within the match increases the cost of the next perk purchase. However, you keep the extras and can equip all perks in one match at once.

There are colorful perk drinks at colorful machines.

Ammunition Modifications

In the Zombie mode of Cold War, you have access to 4 different ammunition elements. Once you have activated the Pack-a-Punch machine, you can give your weapons an element at the device using essence:

  • Napalm Salve (Fire): Chance for more damage over time
  • Dead Wire (Electric): Can stun zombies
  • Kryo Freeze (Ice): Can slow zombies down
  • Brain Rot (Poison): Can briefly turn zombies into allies

With Aetherium crystals, you improve the elemental ammunition to cause more damage or enhance the effects’ potency.

Evacuation

At the end of your matches, you don’t always have to lie on the ground bitten. By being picked up, you earn a decent amount of bonus experience points and an additional Aetherium crystal.

Once you’ve completed round 10, you can request an evacuation at the start of round 11. After that, you can start it every 5 rounds from round 16 onwards. The terminal for evacuation is located in the first area, to the right of the door.

Only start the evacuation if you really want to end the match.

Once you’ve activated the request, the quest marker will guide you to a pickup zone that must be completely cleared of zombies within the specified time. If you don’t succeed, the pickup helicopter will explode, and the bonus rewards will be lost.

Workbench

Scattered around the map are workbenches where you can craft equipment from your scrap and premium scrap:

  • Tactical equipment that heals or distracts zombies
  • Primary equipment that deals high damage to zombies
  • Support equipment, including a revival kit and heavy weapons

The gadgets help you in the fight against the zombies and are some of the strongest items you can obtain. The revival kit acts as a respawn since zombies do not attack you in the KO mode. A well-placed C4 charge can clear a dozen zombies with the press of a button. As the cherry on top, you have the helicopter shooter that lets you terrorize the map with a minigun from a safe height for a time.

Arsenal for Armor and Weapon Upgrades

At the entrance to the “Die Maschine” room, there is a workbench that comes to life after you turn on the power. A friendly doll smiles at you and offers weapon and armor upgrades in exchange for the scrap and premium scrap you collect during matches.

Here you can get upgrades and repairs for your armor. Through the upgrades, you can install up to 3 armor plates to your vest, significantly increasing your health. However, the plates do not regenerate automatically; you’ll need to refill them with items from fallen zombies or here at the arsenal.

You can also upgrade your weapons to higher rarity levels and re-roll the attachments on the weapons.

At the arsenal, you enhance your survivability and weapon rarity.

Pack-a-Punch

To build your powerful firearms into the perfect anti-zombie weapons, you need to activate the Pack-a-Punch machine and spend your essence to purchase a weapon upgrade. With each upgrade, you must dig deeper into your pockets, and you can upgrade all weapons in the game up to level 3:

  • 5,000 essence for level 1
  • 15,000 essence for level 2
  • 30,000 essence for level 3

Your weapons become significantly stronger and more effective against zombies with the tuning, and the effect stacks with the rarity of your weapons. Therefore, spend the cash on upgrades only for weapons you want to upgrade or those that already have a high rarity level.

Other Mechanics

The following mechanics should also be known right from the start.

Ammunition Boxes

Here you can refill your ammunition reserves, which can quickly run out under the onslaught of countless zombies. Watch your ammunition and remember the positions of the ammo boxes, which you can also see on the mini-map.

Power-Ups

During a match, collectible bonuses appear every now and then that give you a powerful boost. “Carpenter” repairs all obstacles in front of barricades, or a “Nuke” fries all zombies currently on the map. Collect them before they disappear.

Barricades

Your progress in the game is initially hindered by barricades. These are sometimes doors, but often debris that is in the way. With essence, you can remove these barricades and access a new area of the map.

Mystery Boxes

Scattered throughout the map, you will find these mystery boxes that give you a random weapon for essence. The higher your current wave number, the better your chances for strong weapons from the boxes. They are a good source for guns with higher rarity, but it remains random what you get.

Zombie Loadout – Strong Weapons & Field Upgrades

Even before going into battle, you craft a loadout. Here you pack a weapon and choose a special zombie field upgrade.

Cold War – Zombie Mode: Strong Loadout Weapons

  • Gallo 12 / Hauer 77 – Shotguns work well against zombies
  • Light machine guns – Plenty of ammunition & damage, but slow reloading
  • AUG / M16 – The precise 3-shot bursts save ammunition and increase the headshot ratio

Cold War – Zombie Mode: Strong Field Upgrades

  • Aether Veil – You have a brief moment of complete peace from the zombies
  • Heal Aura – Several upgrades make it very strong for team healing
  • Fire Ring – Provides a significant bonus on weapon damage

However, you only have access to the weapons and gadgets that you have already unlocked through your military rank. If you are fresh to Cold War, you will need to unlock a lot first. Your level is not separated from your multiplayer level. With the start of Season 1, you can even increase your ranks in Warzone.

Repair broken barricades to gain points and keep zombies at bay.

Once you have the right loadout and the important settings of Cold War set, the slaughter can finally begin.

Wolcen was the Steam hit as a replacement for “Diablo 4” at the beginning of 2020 – Finally, it continues now

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The Hack and Slay Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem finally gets new content. Some fans see this update as a last chance for the game.

What is this update about? After completion of the major overhaul of the game, “Chronicle 1: Bloodtrail” is set to introduce new content to the action RPG Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem and make several gameplay improvements. However, the developers do not want to talk about the exact changes and innovations just yet. That is supposed to happen in the near future.

Wolcen finally receives a content update. Players have been waiting for this since release.

An important update with a downside

Why is this update so important? The fans of Wolcen have been waiting since the release of the game in February 2020 to finally experience new adventures. This is a long time without content supplies, which together with bugs has cost a lot of players the game. Thus, the Hack and Slay urgently needs this update, particularly in terms of new content, to satisfy the players.

There are already voices from the community that say this content update could be the last chance for the action RPG.

  • arielv82 writes on Steam: “This is probably your last chance to save the game. Good luck!”

Nevertheless, there are also players who are looking forward to the update:

  • ⭐⭐⭐Lenin⭐⭐⭐ says: “Looks good. Keep it up!”
  • aveferrum expresses excitement: “I am so hyped! Great job, guys!”
  • Owling [UA] is also thrilled: “Wow! We are alive! Thank you! I’ve been waiting sooooo long for this!”

What downside does the update bring? The developers explain that “Chronicle 1: Bloodtrail” resets the game economy. This means that anyone who wants to experience the new content and gameplay improvements must start over with a new character. Essentially, this is a wipe – and that after the official release.

This has already led to some criticism:

  • kolma84 states on Steam: “This update marks the start of a new Wolcen journey = now we are finally releasing version 1.0 of the game.”

More on action RPGs at MeinMMO:

Do you really have to start over? The developers know that many are attached to their characters and therefore introduce a legacy mode. This allows you to continue playing with your existing character on a separate legacy server. However, this also means that you cannot utilize the new content and gameplay improvements and that trading with players who play the new version is not possible.

When is the update coming? The team has not yet announced a release date. It is only said that it will be “soon”. Soon there should also be more information about the new content and the changes to the gameplay.

What is the current state of Wolcen? The reviews on Steam have improved to 70% and Mostly Positive over the past 30 days. However, the overall ratings still stand at 55% and Mixed.

Players are simply waiting for new content and there are still a few bugs that mar the gaming experience. With the new update “Chronicle 1: Bloodtrail”, the developers can now create a turnaround and perhaps finally make Wolcen the Diablo alternative that some have wished for.

Pokémon GO shows 677 and Psiau as a new monster – What can it do? 

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO we are likely to soon experience the debut of the Psychic Pokémon Psiau. The monster from Generation 6 is currently being teased as a new raid boss.

This is what happened over the weekend: Throughout the weekend, Niantic released small teasers that became increasingly clear:

  • Initially, there was a raid that is supposed to last 6 hours. This was accompanied by a raid egg, which will be visible on the arena for 44 hours.
  • Then they showed the number 677, which was pulled behind an airplane – this is the Pokédex number of Psiau.
  • In the most recent teaser, the cry of a Pokémon could be heard – the cry belongs to Psiau.

So we can assume that Psiau will soon appear in Pokémon GO. That makes sense as it comes from the 6th generation, which will be released starting December 2.

Psiau in Pokémon GO – What can the new monster do?

This is Psiau: This Psychic Pokémon is the pre-evolution of Psiaugon. It comes from the Kalos region and is not currently available in Pokémon GO.

Psiau Pokemon GO

This is how strong Psiaugon will be: Psiau itself is not relevant for the meta of Pokémon GO. Therefore, we look at the evolution Psiaugon. The stats are as follows:

  • Attack value: 166
  • Defense value: 167
  • HP value: 179
  • Maximum CP: 2124

A look at the stats is enough to see that Psiaugon will also not play a major role. The attack value is weak, and especially among Psychic Pokémon, there is significant competition.

You will only need Psiau and its evolution for the Pokédex entry. Otherwise, the monsters will not play a significant role.

More exciting articles about Pokémon GO

When will Psiau arrive? The raid timer in the teaser on Twitter runs out today, November 30, at 8:00 PM. At least the egg in the video will hatch by then.

It is likely that Psiau will also appear in Pokémon GO or at least be officially announced. The release of the new Pokémon won’t take long in any case.

Until the release of Generation 6, it won’t be long. We are looking here at the starter Pokémon of the Kalos region:

3 things that make WoW: Shadowlands really good for me

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 5 minutes

Cortyn from MeinMMO finds a lot of good things about WoW: Shadowlands. However, three aspects have been particularly well done in the new expansion.

It’s been almost a week since the release of WoW: Shadowlands. After I threw all reason out the window and played the game all night on release night I’ve been able to take a good look at everything in the last few days. I have now completed the quests in all areas, taken a few trips to Torghast, visited several dungeons, and unlocked quite a few secrets for my Sanctum.

To put it briefly: I’m having fun. So much fun that I think about what I’ll do in WoW later at work. So much fun that at 2:00 a.m. I find myself having the silly thought of “just one more hour,” even though after 15 years I should know better by now.

There’s so much to do and so much to experience in Shadowlands. But in particular, three changes and improvements have led to me grazing the 10-hour mark while playing almost every day and neglecting pretty much everything else.

Treasures feel like treasures again

One of the best changes has been made to treasures because they feel really good again.

In the last expansions, treasures were almost just loveless chests standing in the middle of nowhere, containing junk worth 7 gold. It didn’t feel like a treasure, nor did it seem like someone had put much thought into it.

In Shadowlands, it’s different. Almost all treasures are rewarding, containing a piece of armor, a toy, a mount, or a cool transmog – at the very least, some anima. Although you can already see treasures on the map beforehand, the path to them isn’t always easy. Often they are actually hidden behind a secret path or require solving a particular puzzle to be opened.

WoW Treasures Shadowlands
Behind many treasures lies a puzzle – this chest only opens when 2 players play a musical instrument.

For the Kyrians, you can only open a treasure if you are “pure.” The chest does not reveal more. To do this, one must first ring one of the bells and then stand under a waterfall for several seconds.

For another puzzle, one must find an “ancient offering.” A few meters away, two Provosts sit with an “ancient wine bowl,” which cannot be used without wine. When speaking to the Provosts, they give the hint that they are still waiting for someone to bring the wine. So you follow a small detective story until you have everything together to open the treasure.

Sure, one can simply look up the solution to the puzzle online – but that would somewhat ruin the game and the exploration for oneself.

More current news about Shadowlands can be found here:

PvP is fun again, thanks to obvious rewards

I’m not exactly a revelation in PvP – I know that. In rated PvP, I have never achieved a particularly high rating, even though I do enjoy watching arena matches and understand what it’s all about.

But I have always enjoyed the occasional “getting beaten up a bit” in WoW, whether in battlegrounds or in war mode.

However, I completely avoided battlegrounds in Battle for Azeroth. I simply found it no fun, mainly due to the rewards that were largely random. What I got at the end of a battleground was left to chance. There was no way to work towards something specific.

But now there’s a PvP vendor again – even if it was temporarily removed.

WoW Shadowlands PvP Vendor
The PvP vendor displays his goods directly – That’s a clear, easily understandable goal.

When I log into WoW now and look at my character, I can clearly say: My shoulder armor is not good yet, I need something better. The PvP vendor entices with an upgrade and the promise of being able to further enhance the item. I was able to exchange my outdated 135 shoulders for fresh shoulders from the PvP vendor and upgrade them directly to level 171. This is done simply through earned Honor with the NPC right next to the vendor.

This is straightforward, enticing, and rewarding. I know what I’m working towards and am confident that I will get it. With some victories, it’s quite fast, if I only incur losses, it takes a bit longer.

This would also be a tip for everyone: At least do your weekly PvP quest in the battlegrounds; it gives another 500 Honor and a bit of Anima.

wow pvp vendor gone title 01
PvP pays off again – even if you only need 1 or 2 items, the Honor vendor can help.

Yes, those who already have full equipment from mythic dungeons and do this all day will not get much interesting anymore. But those who have leveled a bit more leisurely or are currently exploring the vastness of Shadowlands will find a few easily earned improvements for their character in PvP. Especially at the beginning of an expansion, every improvement is still very noticeable.

World quests are better because they last longer

Yes, some players are bothered that world quests are now significantly longer. There are virtually no missions left that are just “kill a mob and vanish again.” World quests require more time, and those who want to complete them must invest time.

But honestly? I think that’s great. This panicked “fly from A to B and one-hit a mob” has always annoyed me. It didn’t feel like I was playing my character but rather a flight line aiming for maximum efficiency between landing points. Now world quests are longer, requiring the killing of numerous enemies, or even have different phases – just like the quests had during leveling.

There are fewer active world quests – but they last longer and are more extensive.

In general, I also have the impression that the world quests have more variety than before. Sure, the quests are still often “kill X” and “collect Y” – but that’s the main aspect of MMORPG quests. However, there are numerous world quests that mix things up a bit. Whether it’s the “Flappy Bird” mission for the Kyrians, the monstrosity slaying in Maldraxxus, or a parachute flight in Revendreth – there’s enough variety if you just want to do your 3 missions a day and aren’t into kill quests.

Conclusion: Much has improved with Shadowlands

After a week, I now have time to look at the game with a bit more calm and less “launch hype.” Just thinking about all the things I can do makes me smile with satisfaction. Even more so because very little of it feels like an obligation. I can decide quite freely what I want to do in WoW at any time and make progress everywhere. I’ve missed that for a long time.

In my opinion, Shadowlands has made a fantastic start and is doing a hell of a lot right. At every corner, it feels like the developers have learned from past mistakes and created an expansion where very little feels like work, and most is just open offerings and possibilities, with little turning into obligation.

If Shadowlands can maintain this course, it will keep me engaged throughout 2021.

Or what do you think?

The first week of Shadowlands is almost over – you should definitely take care of this!

FIFA 21 TOTW 10: The Predictions for the New Team of the Week

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

Coming soon in FIFA 21 is the TOTW 10 (Team of the Week). Here you will learn what the next Team of the Week might look like.

Update, December 2, 7:00 PM: The current Team of the Week 10 is now known and available!

What is the Team of the Week? For the Team of the Week, EA Sports selects 23 players each week who have delivered good performances in real football. These players are then rewarded with enhanced Inform cards that can be found in packs for one week.

What are TOTW Predictions? With the predictions, the FIFA community tries to estimate which players could make it into EA’s Team of the Week.

The real performances of the football players over the weekend are reviewed. The better the player’s performance, the more likely they are to secure a spot in the Team of the Week.

However, one should keep in mind that the predictions are not guarantees and can indeed deviate from the actual TOTW.

They provide a good overview and can also be excellently used to earn some coins in FUT 21. Here we reveal how to do it:

Possible Bundesliga players in TOTW 10 

These Bundesliga players could land in TOTW 10:

Kingsley Coman: In Bayern’s 3:1 victory over VfB Stuttgart, Coman was one of the strongest players on the pitch. With one goal and one assist, the Frenchman makes a case for the next Team of the Week.

This is how strong Coman’s first Inform card could be

Ellyes Skhiri: Skhiri had a strong game and secured Cologne’s first victory after 18 matches without a win. He scored 2 goals against Borussia Dortmund. An Inform card would therefore be absolutely justified.

Angelino: The left-back from RB Leipzig delivered a strong performance in the 2:1 victory over Arminia Bielefeld. He also scored a goal. A TOTW card would therefore be conceivable.

Florian Neuhaus: Whether Neuhaus will actually receive his first Inform card in FUT 21 will be revealed on Wednesday. One goal and one assist against Schalke 04 are certainly good arguments.

Looks like Destiny 2 is rebuilding its old tower – But why?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time < 1 minutes

Construction work has apparently begun on the old Tower from Part 1 in Destiny 2, which was destroyed at the beginning of the game. What could this mean?

This has been discovered: Observant players noticed after the release of Beyond Light and the start of Destiny Content Vault. However, taking a look reveals that construction work is currently underway.

Various yellow scaffolding structures are standing on the old Tower’s structure and extend quite high at the most damaged point.

Here is the old Tower where apparently construction is now taking place

There were already hints about this: Already at the end of October, there was a leak suggesting that we might eventually return to the rebuilt old Tower. An image for the free-to-play version Destiny 2: New Light showed the former and now destroyed social space in all its glory.

Moreover, recently, the new Iron Banner quest for the current season of the Hunt was discovered in the data of Destiny 2. And this also strongly indicates this direction. Because the quest is called “A Tower rebuilt”.

Why all of this? Some are now wondering: why? Why the rebuilding of the old Tower? And it’s not really clear at the moment. It’s also uncertain whether this is something building over time and is part of the living and evolving world of Destiny 2 – like once the Vex Portal in the Tower.

However, this seems too much work just for the Iron Banner or for nostalgia reasons. It would make sense, as the content that led us to the current Tower is no longer in the game. But completely refurbishing an old area just to redistribute a few vendors and give Guardians a nostalgic view? That sounds rather unlikely.

Destiny 2 new Tower

It’s most likely that the seasonal story could potentially develop in this direction – for example, when the Vanguard finally unites and reforms in the fight against the Darkness (the Hunter Vanguard still hasn’t had a new Commander since Cayde’s death). But for now, that remains pure speculation.

We’ll keep an eye on the situation and inform you as soon as possible about any new developments if any arise.

What is the significance of the old Tower? The old Tower is likely to be remembered by almost every Destiny veteran. It is the large social space from Part 1. However, it was destroyed during the campaign of Destiny 2, forcing the Guardians to relocate their headquarters to another Tower in the Last City on Earth.

Later, the old Tower could still be visited during the special mission “Zero Hour”. But since the release of Beyond Light, both are no longer in the game. However, it seems likely that a return to the old Tower is quite possible.

Also interesting:

What do you think? Why is Destiny 2 rebuilding the old Tower from Part 1? And in what context will we see it again? Let us know in the comments, along with other readers from MeinMMO. And by the way, what do you think of Beyond Light so far?

Only 2 weeks after launch, Beyond Light shows how good it really is
