The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has a vast selection of classes and races, each with its own advantages. However, depending on your playstyle, there are certain classes that may suit you better than others. We have compiled a few suggestions for you.
The Elder Scrolls Online offers a wide variety of class-race combinations. The “best” class is hardly distinguishable here. It depends on your playstyle and, of course, on your personal preference.
In ESO, you can also skill and equip each class differently. You are absolutely not restricted. Your heroes can wear any armor and weapons, and any class can take on any role.
These are the six playable classes in ESO:
Dragonknight
Nightblade
Necromancer
Warden
Templar
Sorcerer
You can skill these classes differently, but the main attributes are always Magicka, Stamina, or Health.
In this guide, we will provide you with some recommendations regarding which class may best suit you and your playstyle. Feel free to leave us a comment about your preferred combination and share your knowledge with new players.
This guide is up to date as of the Markarth DLC. It will be updated with upcoming patches.
Which is the best solo class?
If you want to fight solo in ESO, you should take a closer look at the Templar and Sorcerer. With these classes, you can level comfortably alone. They are both skiled in Magicka, although the Sorcerer is also a good choice when skillled in Stamina.
Magicka Templar
High self-healing
Good defense (depending on armor)
High damage to single targets
Strong area damage attacks early on
Magicka Sorcerer
High damage against single targets
Both melee and ranged damage
A strong pet (depending on skill)
Many area damage attacks
Good self-healing
Whether completely alone or with a companion, you have two good solo alternatives here.
Which class is the best DPS?
In the current DLC Markarth, according to tier lists, the Templar, Nightblade, Sorcerer, and Dragonknight are among the best damage-dealing classes. The Templar and Nightblade are represented with both skill sets, that is, Stamina and Magicka. Dragonknights and Sorcerers tend to perform better in Magicka, according to the list.
This is according to esologs.com: We retrieved the tier lists from the website esologs.com. Here, players can upload their combat statistics. They are stored and analyzed. Thus, data from real players can be evaluated rather than theoretical calculations. Based on this data, classes are assigned score points indicating how well they perform in specific situations. You can also view individual reports on esologs.com and even consider the equipment of the players involved.
Consequently, tier lists of the best classes are generated. Depending on the environment, for instance, in dungeons, healers and tanks are also represented, not just the DPSs. All roles and classes are given score points. Thus, damage is not the sole factor. However, with the DPSs that perform the best, one can expect the most damage.
This is the tier list for the Trial Kynes Aegis: The Magicka Templar is slightly ahead in the logs. The other classes often lie close together. However, if you want to specify, the Magicka Dragonknight and the Magicka Nightblade win. A more detailed listing can be seen here:
The tier list according to esologs.com based on percentage performance
This is the tier list for dungeons: If you check out the best DPS in hard mode dungeons, the Stamina Templar is at the top. The Stamina Nightblade is also noteworthy. Additionally, the Magicka Sorcerer and the respective other skill set of the Templar and Nightblade can score points here:
The tier list according to esologs.com based on percentage performance
In arenas or trials, such statistics can also shift. You can rarely just stand still and maximize your damage. However, the advantage of esologs.com is that real combat data is analyzed here. Furthermore, the maximum damage is naturally always dependent on your playstyle and practice.
Which class is the best tank?
As a tank, it is advisable to skill for health in ESO. However, this depends on your equipment. As classes, you can choose the Dragonknight, Warden, Sorcerer, or Nightblade. These are considered the best classes for tanks.
Dragonknight
Very good shield abilities
High self-healing
Good survivability
Very tough
Good support
High adaptability for all tasks
Nightblade
Good survivability
Very tough
Good support
High health
Medium adaptability
Warden
Good adaptability for dungeons and trials
Good stamina
Good self-healing
Good support
Sorcerer
Great stamina
Very good survivability
Incredible resource management
Good shields
Very good self-healing
Both the Dragonknight and the Nightblade, Sorcerer, and Warden are very tough. This is essential for tanks. Furthermore, they are all good support for the group.
The Dragonknight is somewhat more adaptable in terms of its skill set. However, the Sorcerer has proven itself well in the new raid Kynes Aegis.
Which class is the best healer?
If you want to play a healer in Elder Scrolls Online, it’s best to skill for Magicka. Among the currently best classes are the Warden, Necromancer, and Templar.
Warden
Well-prepared for all tasks
Very good healing
Excellent stamina
Good support
Necromancer and Templar
Well-prepared for all tasks
Very good healing
Excellent group support
High toughness
Great adaptability
Good survivability
The Necromancer, Warden, and Templar are similar as healers. They all perform very well in the latest chapter, and with all three classes, you can easily adapt to trials and dungeons.
Which class performs best in PvP?
In PvP, it’s most difficult to make a recommendation. Classes with high survivability and good burst damage are suitable for PvP. Additionally, it makes a difference what you want to play. You can engage in duels, small-scale or large group PvP.
It’s best to play a class you master well. Other players are less predictable than normal enemies. You can only win if you can play your class instinctively or are a natural talent.
The recommendations in this guide are subjective and depend on your playstyle and skill. Many classes are difficult to play and require considerable practice.
However, if you are new to ESO or want to try something different, here are some initial tips. And if you are wondering which race is the best for your playstyle, you’ll also find answers here from MeinMMO.

Just three days after the release of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, a group has not only defeated all mythic dungeons but also completed all achievements there. This rewards them as the first with a cool new mount.
What kind of achievement is this? The “Glory of the Shadowlands Hero” is a meta-achievement for which you must complete all possible achievements in the eight dungeons of the new expansion Shadowlands.
For this achievement, you have to put in quite a bit of effort.
What makes it so special? The tricky part is that these achievements can only be completed on mythic difficulty – the highest difficulty for dungeons available at launch. For heroic dungeons, you should already have an item level of around 155, and even more for mythic dungeons.
Currently, mythic dungeons grant the highest loot. Players would have to complete the achievements while they are still gathering gear and while others are still leveling up. After all, not everyone is level 60 after just three hours.
However, a group of players has completed all mythic achievements just three days after release. In a conversation with wowhead , the five revealed which achievements were the hardest for them.
This is what they found particularly difficult: The group’s druid, Dirtyb, mentions four achievements that were particularly tough. They are:
Death Blow in the Plague Depths: Defeat General Kaal while “Slam” is active. The buff is only available if you click a lantern before the fight that deals 1,800 damage per second.
Slime Ride in Plaguefall: Defeat all bosses while the effect “Plaguefall” is active. The debuff reduces speed by 10% and movement speed by 45%.
Remnants of Evil in the Plague Depths: Defeat 8 miserable captives with the effect “Remnants”. This effect also deals high damage to players.
ExSPEARted in the Pinnacles of Ascension: Hit Devos, the Paragon of Doubt, with five Spear of Duty. There apparently are bugs causing hits not to be counted correctly.
For completing all these achievements, they were rewarded with the mount “Greedy Gut.”
This mount was the reward.
How did they do it? The group consists of two hunters, one demon hunter, one rogue, and one druid. This gives them a strong damage class that also ranks high in the DPS rankings for Shadowlands.
However, they had to be clever with some achievements. For one boss in Plaguefall, for example, they skipped a healer and went into the fight with four DPS. At another point, they had to swap a player to bring in a second hybrid class.
This shows that a lot of planning is behind it. Even though the group needed just three days, it probably wasn’t easy for them. The choice of the right covenant certainly also helped them. The two hunters, for example, belong to the Night Fae, the strongest covenant for all hunters.

In the Western world, MMORPG fans are currently playing WoW Shadowlands. Looking to the other side of the world, in Korea, players there are addicted to a brand new MMORPG.
This is what it looks like in Korea: On November 25th, the MMORPG Mir4 was released in South Korea. The game is primarily aimed at mobile players and is currently dominating the app store charts there.
WoW Shadowlands, which is currently the MMORPG of the hour for us, plays a lesser role there.
New mobile game dominates Korea
What is Mir4? This MMORPG has only been released in Korea so far. It features a dynamic combat system and beautiful graphics.
Mir4 is set in the universe of the “Legend of Mir” game series, which is very popular in South Korea. To give you an impression of the game and the mechanics, we are embedding a gameplay video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLkbVJHyfSk
As usual, MMORPGs on the Asian market have been developed primarily for mobile. Mir4 is available for iOS and Android in South Korea. However, players can also play it on PC through an emulator.
So far, there is no information about an English version of the game.
How successful is Mir4: The website MMORPG.org.pl reports that the game became the most popular game in the Apple Store within a few hours and rose to the top 3 of the Google Play charts. The number of players is already counted in millions. The demand is so high that the developers had to open additional servers.
What is successful for us instead? Currently, every MMORPG fan is talking about the WoW expansion Shadowlands. Initial impressions of the game are positive, and players have been busy playing since November 24th.
All the more interesting is the contradiction in the Asian world. There, a new mobile MMORPG is currently dominating the market.
If you are a fan of Asian MMORPGs, then take a look here:
The next stream with the Producer’s Letter for Final Fantasy XIV will be entirely focused on the upcoming update 5.4. We will live-ticker it.
What is the Producer’s Letter? Before each major update for Final Fantasy XIV, the MMORPG’s director, Naoki Yoshida, hosts at least one multi-hour stream.
During this stream, almost all of the update’s content will be shown in detail. If the stream takes place shortly before the update’s release, a fancy trailer will be shown and the release date revealed.
However, these streams are usually held in Japanese. In this article, we will live ticker the event and provide the English translation of the new information.
When does the stream start? Today’s stream for the “Producer’s Letter – Part 61” starts at exactly 12:00 PM German time.
Where can I watch the stream? You can follow the stream on the following channels:
Live Ticker for the Producer’s Letter from MeinMMO
15:11: That would be all the information about patch 5.4 and other updates from FFXIV. Upcoming announcements include
Collaborations with Japanese brands Pusheen and Lawson
Black Friday Sale
an Mahjong tournament with Yoshida
With that, the stream ends.
15:03: On February 6, there will be an Announcement Showcase for FFXIV. The showcase will be held in both Japanese and English and streamed live, so you can conveniently watch it.
It is part of the 14-hour live stream that is usually held for FFXIV’s anniversary. The rest of the 14-hour stream will be exclusively in Japanese.
It seems to be a kind of substitute for the canceled Fan Festivals. There is a chance that the new expansion for FFXIV will be announced there.
14:53: A small quality of life update for Materia. If you want to attach Materia to an item, starting with 5.4, you will be able to select the option to use the entire stock of a specific type of Materia for it.
So, if you want to fill a forbidden slot in the gear, you don’t have to keep selecting the right Materia from the list; you just click once on “continue.” This will significantly speed up the melding process.
14:49: There are some new emotes:
14:44: Screenshots of the new furnishings and house decorations are shown:
14:36: More information about the new dungeon of the Bozjan Southern Front: To prepare players for the epic version of Delubrum Reginae, at the beginning of the dungeon, you will be able to exchange and equip your Bozjan-exclusive abilities.
At the end, each player will receive their own rewards from the treasure chest. Resurrection will be restricted in the hard version of the dungeon. Groups may gradually lose players.
However, this is not the last update for the Queen’s Watch quests. Another one will come with patch 5.5. If players fail to conquer the hard dungeon in 5.4, they can upgrade their weapons and armors in 5.5 and try again.
Delubrum Reginae will function similarly to a 24-man raid, but the trash mobs will be much stronger. New rewards and achievements will be available upon completion.
14:30: Further information about the quest line “The Queen’s Guard” and the weapons of the resistance. The next update for the quest will come with patch 5.45.
There will be a new dungeon named Delubrum Reginae. It will come in two different difficulties: Normal for 24 players and Epic for 48 players. The epic mode will run through the party finder.
The normal version must be completed to progress in the quest line’s story. In both versions, players will be able to use the Bozjan Front’s special abilities, and in the epic difficulty, according to Yoshida, they will even be necessary.
14:27: More information about the Explorer Mode: In the dungeons, you will also be able to summon a training dummy and try out your abilities on it so you can later take cool action screenshots.
This includes the Limit Breaks, for example. You will select from a menu the three different levels and can use them against the dummy.
Since it is still a dungeon, you can also enter in groups of up to 4 players.
14:16: The Explorer Mode for the dungeons continues. This mode will initially only be available in the Shadowbringers dungeons. Once you have completed one of the dungeons normally, you can enter it in Explorer Mode. This can be done just like through the content finder, as with a small party.
Yoshida shows the dungeon Chateau Cosmea in this mode and a new mount that will likely be available during the Christmas event.
With this mode, players can take their time exploring the dungeons and look at them closely. Yoshida mentioned that many details in the dungeons are often overlooked.
14:09: The reconstruction of Ishgard is set to be completed in patch 5.41. New Skybuilder rankings will be introduced, and the new items will increase your Seasonal Score.
The best craftsmen and gatherers will be awarded the same titles as in the last rankings, but the achievements for that will be new.
A monument will be erected in Ishgard for the crafting job that contributed the most to the reconstruction. It will depict the corresponding job’s tool. Thus, the monuments will differ across different servers.
14:04: There are changes to collectibles. Starting with 5.4, there will be items that can be directly dismantled as collectibles. Due to the adjustments from patch 5.4, the rewards for the current collectibles will be drastically reduced, so hand them in to the NPCs if you still have any.
In patch 5.4, there will be a special interface for collectibles.
The status “Wear” has been removed.
The abilities that increase the quality of collectibles have been revised.
Players must increase quality while paying attention to the condition of the collection point
Higher stats of the collecting job allow for more efficient harvesting of collectibles.
13:54: The dungeons of Lhe Ghiah, where players can hunt for treasures, will also receive an update in 5.4. The treasure map dungeon will get a similar update as the channels of Uznair had previously.
You will be teleported into a room and start a roulette there. Depending on where the circle lands, there will be fights, rewards, or surprises.
If you land on an Atomos field, the beast will throw you out of the dungeon, and you will have to look for a new entrance.
13:49: Next, we have information about the trial battle against the Emerald Weapon. The intro to the fight contains too many spoilers, so it won’t be shown in the stream.
Final Fantasy fans will know the weapon from FFVII. It was one of the toughest boss fights there.
The fight will have two phases again, and the second phase will differ greatly from the first. Similar to what was already the case with the Ruby Weapon.
13:47: We continue with the battle against Titan. This is supposed to be very difficult at level 80, almost like an additional epic raid boss fight. Therefore, there will also be new rewards.
The party finder will be adjusted accordingly, with the new feature that only players who have mastered the dream trial will be let into your group.
13:35: The stream continues now. The new dream trial is shown: Titan. The dream trial retains all the mechanics of the original extreme version of Titan but is at level 80.
No explicit changes have been made to the fight. So if players fall off the arena, they will not be resurrected.
Yoshida uses the developer mode to demonstrate the fight. You can see that Titan deals almost 30,000 HP damage with a normal attack.
Yoshida commented: “Every job will be very busy in this fight. Shields are very important.”
13:20: The stream takes a short break.
13:15: Triple Triad will have new official tournaments that will take place every 2 hours in the game. For this, 8 players who have registered will be grouped together and compete against each other. The one who wins the most “best-of-3” matches is the winner.
If no 8 players can be found for a tournament group, NPCs will fill the empty slots. The new draft rule will always be active in the tournament.
13:00: The next part of the update is the card game Triple Triad. First, the rules of the mini-game will be briefly repeated.
The update will make it easier to find cards that are not yet in your collection. For this, the interface will be overhauled. The missing cards will be marked with a question mark, and tips will be displayed on where you can find them.
Furthermore, the limitations for the game deck will be revised. Starting with patch 5.4, there will be no restrictions on the number of 1 to 3-star cards in your deck, and only one card with 4 or more stars will be allowed per deck.
New rules will be introduced:
Fallen Ace: Card strength A can be beaten by a 1
Draft: You do not have access to your card deck and must play with the cards provided by the game. You can also receive cards that you haven’t played yet.
12:51: We continue with the job adjustments. Yoshida says: “We haven’t nerfed anything.”
Samurais have not been nerfed
Bards, Red Mages, Dragoons, and Scholars receive slight buffs. Not all jobs will be buffed, but some will.
Monks receive very large changes revolving around the status Greased Lightning. The goal was to reduce the stress/ burden on players while maintaining the feel of the monk.
Greased Lightning will therefore become a passive skill that you obtain when leveling up.
The attacking power of the abilities will be increased to compensate for the loss of the Lightning buff.
The effects of the abilities that were influenced by Greased Lightning have been modified accordingly.
The new mechanics of the monk were demonstrated by Yoshida in the stream.

12:48: The last boss of the raid was designed by Tetsuya Nomura. The design is unique and will be kept secret. Yoshida noted that it would have been smart from a PR perspective to reveal the design and use it for the patch, but he wants players to have a “WOW!” effect when they see the boss for the first time.
According to him, fans should also not “expect too much from FFVIII, after all, this is FFXIV.” The epic difficulty is said to increase significantly towards the end. The first two boss fights are “as always.” But the 3rd fight could be a barrier.
12:42: Yoshida shows a fight from the new raid “Eden’s Promise.” It seems to be the Cloud of Darkness, which already appeared in a much larger form in the 24-man raid “World of Darkness.”
The music that plays during the battle is a remix of “Don’t be Afraid” from FFVIII. Yoshida comments that this is a different Cloud of Darkness than the one we know. However, the area looks like the World of Darkness?
12:38: New equipment from patch 5.4:
12:34: The Shadowbringers dungeons will receive an “Explorer Mode.” To unlock this mode, you must have previously mastered the respective dungeon normally.
The mode allows players to enter the dungeon alone and take screenshots, for example. There will be no enemies in the dungeon to disturb you. You will also be able to use your mounts and companions.
12:32: The next phase of the reconstruction of Ishgard will come in patch 5.41. It is expected to be the last update and will complete the reconstruction. However, new rankings will come with the new phase.
The “Crafting Relics” will receive a new upgrade level. They will have two different light effects per weapon.
12:30: Ocean fishing will receive new routes and new tasks.
12:25: Updates for the gathering and crafting classes:
Underused abilities will be adjusted
A new crafting condition will be added for high-level recipes.
The systems surrounding collectibles and Aetherial Reduction will be reworked.
The amount of collecting points will be shown on the map.
The skill Fish Eyes will be adjusted. It will no longer be necessary to catch fish. The difficulty of catching individual fish will be modified. The new version of the skill will allow players to ignore the time conditions for fishing.
12:22: Update on the Content Finder. Starting with 5.4, it will be possible to enter content as a small group while still maintaining the level restrictions. This is intended to make learning Blue Magic easier and more efficient. You do not need a full group for a level 50 dungeon as a Blue Mage.
12:18: Blue Mage will receive a major update in patch 5.45. In addition to increasing the level cap from 60 to 70, the job will also receive new job-specific equipment.
It will also be possible again to participate in difficult epic raids with a full Blue Mage group. According to Yoshida, they will be quite challenging. Fans can of course also expect new spells to collect.
12:13: A brief summary of the information known so far. You can find it further down in our live ticker.
The dungeon is the Atelier of the old Matoya, introduced in the Heavensward expansion.
The trial battle against the Emerald Weapon will be available in normal and extreme.
The new raid will conclude the story of Eden and answer all questions about Ryne and Gaia. You must have completed the story from patch 5.3 to unlock the new raid.
12:10: The Japanese trailer is shown again, this time commented by Yoshida and Foxclone.
The voice acting in this update is supposed to be especially cool, and in all voice outputs. Yoshida comments that fans are confused in the Twitch, YouTube, and Nico chats about the trailer: “Everyone is surprised. What is this? What is happening to the world?”
12:07: Here is the German trailer for patch 5.4 –

Welcome to the FFXIV live ticker on MeinMMO. The information and screenshots come from the FFXIV Reddit Discord, where a live translation is being provided in English.
What is known so far
What do we know about patch 5.4? By now, several things about the upcoming update are known. The release date was announced by director Yoshida for early December.
The chances are good that today we will not only learn the exact release date but also see the official trailer for the patch.
Here are the approximate contents of update 5.4:
Continuation of the main story of FFXIV
The final part of the normal and epic raid “Eden”
The new dungeon Matoya’s Atelier
The new trial “Battle against the Emerald Weapon”
Screenshots for patch 5.4
Later in patch 5.45, additionally:
Continuation of the quest line for the Weapons of the Resistance with a new massive battle
Quickly reaching the maximum level in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is useful for new players and veterans alike. With the tips from MeinMMO, you’ll find the leveling phase easier.
Leveling faster in WoW: There are many reasons to level a new character in WoW. Whether you need a twink for professions, raids, or PvP, want to play allied races, or are starting anew, it’s always useful to know how to quickly get your character to the maximum level.
[toc]
If you return, you might wonder what has happened to your characters, as Shadowlands introduced a level squish. Instead of leveling to 120 like in BfA, you now only level up to level 60 in the new expansion.
MeinMMO provides you with a practical guide to help you easily and quickly reach the new max level.
This article was originally published on July 4, 2018, and was updated on November 27, 2020, for the level squish and Shadowlands.
The journey from character creation has become significantly faster with the new expansion Shadowlands. If you put in the effort, you can even go from level 1 to the new level 60 within a day.
There are many different ways to level a character. We show you how to use these options effectively.
The Boost: If you purchase the new expansion Shadowlands, you instantly receive a character boost to level 50. With this boost, you can immediately set a newly created character to level 50 and also receive a set of armor and weapons. The boost typically costs 60€ in the store.
Story Lovers? As a newcomer, you will generally find it more challenging to level quickly and effectively in WoW, and you may miss a lot of the game’s storyline. If you’re interested in the world and the game, we recommend you to follow your own path. You can hardly go wrong.
Main and Twink: If your only goal is to quickly get new characters to the maximum level, use this boost immediately and establish the foundations with your main character. With a character at maximum level (this will be your “Main”), you can pave the way for new characters (referred to as “Twinks” or “Alts”).
Level Together: If you don’t want to tackle World of Warcraft alone, it’s best to find a partner. You can quickly find teammates in the MeinMMO Discord and our WoW communities.
Preparations for Fast Leveling
The fastest way to the highest level requires some preparation. Preparing everything for a new character can take some time. However, if you plan to level multiple twinks, the effort pays off – you only need to do it once.
A well-prepared twink levels faster!
Leveling Faster with Heirlooms: An important point for faster leveling is heirlooms. Heirlooms are pieces of armor and weapons that are account-bound and can be used by any character on the account, provided the armor type matches.
The Items Grow with You: Heirlooms level up with you and thus always have stats that match your level. They may not always be the best items in terms of damage and stamina, but the armor pieces provide a bonus when you wear multiple of them, known as a “set bonus”:
2 pieces: Recovery is consumed 30% slower
3 pieces: Increases regeneration in the outdoor world, in regular dungeons and battlegrounds, when not in combat
5 pieces: When you reach a new level, you deal damage to nearby enemies and gain 40% of your main attribute for 2 minutes. Killing enemies extends this bonus by up to an additional 2 minutes
6 pieces: Recovery is consumed an additional 30% slower
Since the pre-patch of Shadowlands, heirlooms no longer grant bonus experience; instead, they reduce the consumption of rest experience. Rest experience is gained in cities and inns and increases the experience gained from killing enemies. It is consumed up to a maximum value, and you benefit longer from wearing heirlooms.
Where to Get the Items? Heirlooms can be obtained from the guild vendor in the major cities and from Estelle Gaundry in Orgrimmar on the wall (Horde) and Krom Starkarm in Ironforge (Alliance). Some heirlooms require reputation with your guild and a guild achievement – it’s best to search through the guild browser for leveling guilds and earn reputation with quests or through PvP and PvE with other guild members.
Once you’ve purchased heirlooms, you can easily create them in your collection under the “Heirlooms” tab on any character. The crafted items go directly into your inventory, and you can equip them.
Unlocking Flight Paths: To travel quickly in the world during the leveling phase, you’ll need to rely on flight masters for a significant amount of time. However, you need to discover or unlock new routes first. Heirloom vendors also have items for this:
Alliance
Modernizing the Supply Lines of Azeroth – Eastern Kingdoms, 10,000 gold
Kalimdor, Following in the Mother of Earth’s footsteps – Kalimdor, 10,000 gold
The items are toys and only need to be purchased once. From then on, they apply to all current and future characters, making them a one-time investment.
Level Guide for Shadowlands – Here’s How
Shadowlands has completely reinvented leveling in World of Warcraft. Instead of fighting through different expansions, you can now choose an expansion via the “Chromie Time” feature and play through it to reach the starting quest for the new expansion.
Even in Shadowlands itself, leveling is different than what you’ve experienced before. As a new character, you have to play through the campaign there and have no choice over the areas. In the end, you join one of the new covenants, which will gradually introduce you to the endgame.
As a second character, you have the option to skip the entire story and directly join a covenant. This way, you can immediately complete world quests and other activities to earn experience points and work on your covenant’s progression.
If you start WoW as a completely new player, you will play your first 10 levels on the “Exile’s Island”. This is a new zone specifically for newcomers, where many mechanics of the game and your class are explained to you.
Here you complete numerous quests, earn your first levels and loot, and experience an exciting, small story. At the end of the island, there is a dungeon that introduces you to various boss mechanics.
The island is optional for those who have already leveled a character. If you do not wish to see it, you can instead choose the leveling experience of your own race during character creation.
Leveling with “Chromie Time” in an Addon of Your Choice
Upon reaching level 10, you can choose an expansion from Chromie in the major cities to level with. All six expansions prior to Battle for Azeroth are available – BfA is played automatically if you choose nothing else.
Your choice determines which starter quest you receive, allowing you to essentially play through the expansion again and level from 10-50 there. It also indicates which dungeons you are queuing for with the dungeon browser.
However, it can happen that not enough players are listed for your expansion. If you search too long, the search radius will be expanded to instances from all expansions.
In Chromie Time, you can choose your favorite expansion. Your location is marked with a large hourglass on your map.
Which expansion you want to play is entirely up to you. However, BfA is suitable for making the story connection, or Warlords of Draenor, where the density of bonus objectives and other extras can increase the leveling speed a bit.
Tips for Leveling from 1-50
Dungeons Leveling: Once you reach level 10, you can use the dungeon browser. From here on, it is advisable to always look for a “random dungeon”. Dungeons scale, just like the areas, with your level. Completing a random dungeon grants you bonus experience.
Important Quests: In dungeons, you will find dungeon quests that you should definitely complete. With full heirloom gear, a dungeon can roughly grant you one to two levels. However, keep in mind that a dungeon is generally only worthwhile if you can still complete the quests. If you have already completed them, quests outside of that dungeon are more effective.
The Waiting Times: Healers and DPS classes generally wait quite a long time for the next invitation. You can best bridge the waiting times by completing other quests in the world.
Warning: If you play a class that can tank but do not want to tank, do not take advantage of this option in the dungeon browser! It is unlikely that you can complete dungeons without a proper tank, and you will ultimately waste time for yourself and the other players.
The dungeon browser. Random dungeons give you more experience.
Leveling through Rare Enemies: You should not only limit yourself to dungeons while leveling. In the open world, you can earn similar experience, and also have another source of quick experience points: rare enemies (“rare mobs”).
Since the overhaul, rare enemies reward you with a significant amount of experience. Defeating a rare mob typically takes only a few seconds and you are rewarded with a bit over half the experience points that a quest would provide.
Rare mobs can be found throughout the world in various locations. Many players do not pay attention to them and ignore them, so you will often encounter them. If, however, a player from your faction is already fighting one, just join in. You both receive the experience. You can recognize the enemies by their silver dragon around their portrait.
Leveling through Bonus Objectives and Items
In Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor, Legion, and Battle for Azeroth, you have additional ways to quickly and easily gain experience beyond normal quests.
Valuable Treasures: In Pandaria, you find treasures everywhere that you also need for the achievement “…is the other’s bread”. Finding such treasures grants you gold, rare items, and always a decent amount of experience.
Bonus Objectives: Such treasures also exist in Draenor and later expansions. However, what’s even more interesting here is that there are “bonus objectives.” Bonus objectives are open quests that you do not need to pick up or turn in. You enter the designated area and complete the tasks. The experience from these objectives has been somewhat toned down, but they are still worth it.
The bonus objectives are displayed directly to you.
Invasions: Both in the areas of Legion and those of Battle for Azeroth, invasions (Legion) or incursions (BfA) occur repeatedly. These are marked on the map with a large symbol above the area.
This indicates that specific world quests are now available there. These grant plenty of experience, resources, and even a buff for 10% more experience for an hour.
Leveling Faster for Allied Races
What are Allied Races? With Battle for Azeroth, a new gameplay aspect was added to World of Warcraft through the Allied Races. Allied Races are new races with new abilities that join the factions and assist them.
Special Cosmetic Gear: Allied races start at level 10 regardless of their class. If you level a character from an allied race from level 10 to the maximum level without using a boost, you receive the “Heritage Armor,” special cosmetic gear that reflects the style of the races.
Especially for rare enemies and treasures, it’s beneficial to use addons that show you the locations or alert you to nearby enemies. Some addons are particularly useful for leveling.
With the useful addon manager WoWUp, you can easily manage your addons. In our guide, we explain how to install addons with WoWUp.
NPCScan: NPCScan is an addon that continuously searches your surroundings for rare enemies. It shows you the paths of rare mobs on the map and alerts you with sounds and flashing when an enemy is nearby. If NPCScan finds a rare mob, it marks it with a skull, and you can hunt it directly. You can download NPCScan from the curse website.
HandyNotes: HandyNotes shows you treasures on the map. So you don’t have to constantly check where the next treasure is that gives you experience, you can simply look it up in-game with HandyNotes. HandyNotes also adds small notes to the icons on the map indicating what exactly you receive from the treasure – this way you don’t run unnecessary routes just to grab a cape. You can also get HandyNotesfrom curse.

Leveling Tips and Tricks
With our guide, you already have a solid framework to quickly and pleasantly reach the maximum level. However, there are still some tips and tricks that can help you get even more from the methods.
Utilizing the Darkmoon Faire: You receive a significant experience bonus when the Darkmoon Faire is taking place. If you visit the island and ride one of the animals on the carousel, you receive the “Yippie!” buff for up to an hour. This grants you 10% bonus experience and reputation. The same effect comes from the Darkmoon Cylinder, which you can buy and consume (not stackable).
Learning to Ride: You should visit your riding instructor at intervals to travel faster. The faster you move, the quicker you can complete and turn in quests.
Novice Rider – 4 gold (level 10): You can ride ground mounts with +60% movement speed. Some classes and races receive this ability for free. If you do not obtain the skill for free, just find a riding instructor.
Skilled Rider – 50 gold (level 20): You can ride ground mounts with +100% movement speed.
Experienced Riding – 250 gold (level 30): You can ride flying mounts with +150% movement speed in the air and +100% on the ground.
Master Riding – 5000 gold (level 40): You can ride flying mounts with +310% movement speed in the air and +100% on the ground.
Enchanting Heirlooms: You can apply enchants to some heirlooms. Since Shadowlands, most gear can be re-enchanted.
Create the heirlooms on a character at maximum level and acquire the desired enchants. Attributes like strength can be enchanted on cloaks and chest pieces, while the Mark of the Hidden Satyr can be enchanted on necklaces to deal damage to enemies. The various expansions offer different enchants that might be useful for leveling.
You can then send the items to the character who will wear them – even across factions. The enchants remain on the items, even if their item level decreases.
For healers, the Mark of the Ancient Priestess is also worthwhile.
Buying Level Boosts: There is the option to purchase a level boost for 60€ in the in-game shop, which instantly sets your character to level 50. Depending on whether time or money is more important to you, this option may also be worth considering.
Shadowlands revolutionizes the leveling experience in WoW and it’s worth it even for veterans to start a new character to check it all out. With our guide, you can quickly and comfortably navigate through the leveling phase without missing anything.
As a newcomer, WoW can be a bit overwhelming, but if you take a little time to learn the important things about the game and prepare yourself, jumping in will be no hurdle anymore. In the MeinMMO podcast, editor Leya Jankowski, GameStar community manager Marylin Marx, and WoW expert Benedict Grothaus discuss whether it’s still worth it to jump into WoW after 16 years. You can find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes, and here on MeinMMO.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on December 10, 2020. There will not be a multiplayer mode available at launch. The head of CD Projekt Red, Adam Kiciński, now explains the current status of the Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer and what the plan is.
Where does the information come from? The statements come from Adam Kiciński, the CEO of CD Projekt Red. He addressed questions from capital representatives during an investor call on November 25 (via seekingalpha).
“We do not think of multiplayer as a mode”
This is the status of multiplayer: The CEO states:
However, the multiplayer is not completely detached from Cyberpunk. It originates from the world of Cyberpunk and is closely tied to the single-player Cyberpunk
At the moment, CD Projekt Red is only discussing the single-player mode of Cyberpunk and because they view multiplayer as its own product, they are not talking about it
Fans can expect new information on the multiplayer in Q1 2021. CD Projekt Red will present further plans for Cyberpunk 2077 then, including the DLCs. It is possible that they will also want to discuss the multiplayer mode.
What does that mean in plain language? There is a lot of evidence suggesting that “Cyberpunk 2077 Online” or whatever it will be called, functions in relation to Cyberpunk 2077 like Red Dead Online to Red Dead Redemption 2.
It will likely be an online game set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, overlaying the single-player world with its own layer of quests, tasks, and daily tasks. It will probably use the assets from the single-player game and add more. This would align with the CEO’s statements.
At the moment, the full focus of the public is expected to be on the single-player game. Introducing plans for the online mode now would dilute that focus.
Release of Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer likely still far away
When could Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer be released? It is interesting that the CEO speaks of a “large production.” In January 2020, CD Projekt Red even referred to the project “Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer” as its own “AAA project” – the second one they are working on alongside Cyberpunk 2077.
The question is how far CD Projekt Red is with the multiplayer mode already and when we can expect it. Likely, the single-player mode required all resources recently, to ensure the team meets the release date.
In July 2019, a Polish website reported that 40 employees were working on the multiplayer mode. It is quite possible that some employees from the multiplayer mode were reassigned to assist with the single-player mode, causing further delays.
In January 2020, CD Projekt Red stated that the multiplayer mode could not be expected before 2022. It is likely that the date will be pushed further back. But that is speculation.
We apparently will not know further details about the release before Q1 2021 when the dust around Cyberpunk 2077 has settled a bit.
For Cyberpunk 2077, the final phase before the release is now beginning. In the meantime, this phase has even become a bit hotter than the development team preferred, as a player has already streamed Cyberpunk 2077:
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War some players are annoyed that they seemingly hit nothing and their bullets drift through the air like in slow motion. Is it a bug or is it intended? Find out here at MeinMMO.
What’s the deal with the shooting behavior? In the multiplayer of Cold War you may have noticed that with some weapons, something seems off with hit registration. Especially with submachine guns (SMGs), it occurs that you fight at medium range, take aim at the enemy, shoot, and somehow your bullets go wide.
This may seem at first glance like a nasty bug, but it is actually an intentional “feature” that the developers are using to balance certain weapon classes in an unorthodox way.
Developers “balance” weapons with low bullet velocity
This is behind the “problem”: A look at the weapon stats quickly reveals where the issue lies. It is not an unwanted bug, but an intentional feature by the developers.
Since SMGs were likely too strong in the earlier testing phases of Cold War, they were adjusted downward in their stats to balance them against assault rifles, for example. The main adjustment made here was probably in bullet velocity.
This is generally lower in Cold War than in previous CoD games, and it is particularly noticeable with SMGs. Since your bullets fly relatively slowly and there is also a noticeable bullet drop at medium range, it becomes harder to hit anything with these weapons.

While this may serve the balance of the weapons, the strange and unusual shooting behavior of the SMGs makes players, according to the embedded YouTubers Drift0r and TheXclusiveAce, more confused and think essentially “My weapon is acting up!” rather than “Ah, the weapon shoots oddly because otherwise the balancing wouldn’t fit.”

Bullet velocity is the most important stat in CoD Cold War
How can you improve bullet velocity? According to the two YouTubers, there is a stat in Cold War that should definitely be prioritized in the gunsmith: bullet velocity.
Because certain barrels for your guns provide bonuses of up to 100 percent on bullet velocity. This makes the SMGs finally playable again without feeling like the weapon is somehow buggy.
A barrel like the 9.5 Ranger provides a 100% bonus to bullet velocity. That way, the MP5 shoots again so that it feels “right”.
Whereas in earlier CoD games, the weapon’s range was mainly decisive and was preferred to be boosted, in Cold War you should always focus on weapon attachments that provide a bonus to bullet velocity.
This also applies when you have a hybrid solution available that, for example, increases range, damage, and bullet velocity a bit. Focus more on bullet velocity, as you’ll have the best effect according to Drift0r.
Bullet velocity is not only for SMGs: While SMGs clearly benefit the most from improved bullet velocity, every weapon in the game is well advised to have a boost to this stat.
According to Drift0r, sniper rifles turn into quasi hitscan weapons, meaning guns with which you basically have an immediate hit as soon as you pull the trigger. So if you have the choice of which upgrades to put on your favorite weapons, always choose those with more bullet velocity!
But which weapons are currently good in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War? You can find the best weapons in CoD Cold War with setups here at MeinMMO. With this, you should be able to choose the ideal weapon for you along with upgrades. Have fun with it!

Item levels in an MMO not only indicate how powerful a weapon or armor is, but they also show what level you need as a hero to even be able to use that item. But how did this system come about?
What are item levels? Originally, item levels, or ilvl for short, indicated whether you could use the looted item with your level. So if you find a powerful sword, for instance, that has an ilvl of 30, but your hero has only reached level 27, then it is not possible to wield the sword. You first need to level up a bit more.
The ilvl also shows you how powerful this item is. You get an impression of how well you can fight with the new weapon as soon as you are allowed to use it.
Item levels exist not only in MMORPGs; online games like The Division also use the principle.
Where does the principle of item levels come from?
Even in the early days of pen-and-paper role-playing games in the 1970s, game masters or dungeon masters (DMs) wanted to give players loot they could do something with. After all, even today, finding better weapons and armor is part of the fun of the game. It motivates players to complete adventures. Players appreciate good rewards that help them progress.
In a pen-and-paper RPG, the game master can determine the loot based on the players’ level and whether it is time for a more powerful weapon. There were no item levels in the past. The DM could create the equipment themselves and thus decide who it is suitable for. Pre-made items might have had recommendations in the rulebooks regarding what level they should be used from.
Nevertheless, the DM could decide that a low-level player was allowed to wield a very powerful weapon. It was entirely up to their discretion. As a game master, it is always possible to intervene and change the game and the balancing.
More trivia articles about MMOs and MMORPGs on MeinMMO:
Video games do not have a dungeon master who can make their own decisions and adjust the campaign accordingly. Fixed rules must apply for balancing to work. Over time, players encounter enemies that become increasingly difficult to defeat and require the right equipment. So there needs to be a system in the background that determines at which player level certain items appear as loot.
One could say that item levels have developed organically and stemmed from a logical system. However, these systems were not evident, at least in the early days of role-playing games and MMORPGs. Item levels worked in the background.
In WoW, item levels have been visible since patch 3.2.
Diablo and WoW changed the way we play with item levels
Yet, the fact that they existed was shown by Diablo from 1997. The merchant offered items that you could not use right away. Some items were also dependent on the strength of the character. However, it was not clear at what level you were allowed to use “locked” items. In Diablo 2 from 2000, Blizzard continued this trend. While the ilvl was not yet indicated in numbers, it was shown in the quality of the items. Players then found their own ways to calculate item levels through complicated formulas.
Even in World of Warcraft, which was released in 2004, the ilvl was not originally visible. It wasn’t until patch 3.2 in 2009 that Blizzard made the item levels visible. However, they existed in the game before; players just couldn’t see them and had to calculate everything themselves. For example, there were even addons before patch 3.2 that calculated the gear score.
Other games adopted the principle, which has since become established – and not just in the MMORPG sector. Even loot shooters like Destiny 2 or The Division utilize the system. Through the ilvl, players know how much more they need to level up to finally use the new cool item. And they learn how powerful an item is. It provides motivation to keep playing to finally equip the weapon or armor and see how the hero improves through them.
In FFXIV, the item level can exceed the actual maximum level of the game. The daggers here, for example, are ilvl 360 at a max level of 70 (in Stormblood).
Nowadays, the item level goes beyond simply indicating at what level a character can use an item. It has become much more of an indicator of how powerful an item is. So it is not uncommon in MMORPGs for an item to have level 120 but already be wieldable by heroes at level 80. The ilvl does not necessarily indicate that your hero cannot yet equip the weapon or armor – but it does indicate how strong the item is.
The ilvl thus influences the item spiral. Players embark on a hunt for ever better equipment and see from the item level how good the weapon or armor they have found is. Updates and addons introduce new items that have a higher level, and the hunt for loot begins anew. Through the ilvl, players get a quick impression of how powerful the item is.
Ilvl thus describes two things: First, how good an item is compared to other items and when a character can use a piece of equipment. Both often function separately in MMOs.

In Pokémon GO, the tasks that you need to complete for Level 48 are now known. Players from Australia shared these. It is now clear: this is a big time sink.
What’s going on with leveling? Niantic recently officially announced that they will raise the level cap from Level 40 by ten more levels. The new Level 50 will then be the highest cap that players can reach. The system is currently being tested in Australia, and players are reporting which tasks are related to the level-ups.
After testers were to take snapshots with their buddy for a week for Level 46, the new tasks are now known.
Level 48 spans over eight weeks. Provided you are diligent. Otherwise, it could take even longer.
Requirements for Level 48
What has been shown? Trainer dabomerest shared a screenshot from Pokémon GO on reddit. It shows the four tasks that a trainer must complete to reach Level 48.
It also becomes clear that at this level, you need to accumulate 21,000,000 experience points.
The tasks:
Receive 20 gifts from your buddy
Earn 300 hearts with your buddy
Walk 200 km with your buddy
Walk 25 km in a week – eight times

This is the special part: The task with the kilometer requirement takes at least eight weeks to complete. Provided you actually walk 25 kilometers every week.
If you fail to do it in one week, you will automatically have to wait another week until the weekly rewards are credited to you on Monday.
What is still unclear: Some trainers hope that the task will be counted differently. They wonder: If I walk 50 kilometers in one week, does that count twice?
Currently, however, it is assumed that you should walk at least 25 kilometers for eight weeks. The tester from Australia, theesado, writes on Twitter: “I suspect that when they say ‘in one week’ they mean the Adventure Sync rhythm. I will try to quickly cover the next 50 kilometers if double counting is possible.”
How do you like the requirements for Level 48? Is it something that motivates you to walk many kilometers, or do you think it’s silly that it is going to be such a time-consuming task?

In September 2020, the Fallout 76 player Kytahl wished for a wheelchair for her own C.A.M.P. in a thread on reddit. With the Steel Dawn update, Bethesda fulfilled her wish.
How did it come about? In a thread on reddit, “Kytahl” reported on her limitation and wished for a “piece of herself” in Fallout 76. Due to two chronic illnesses, 23-year-old Kelly from the Netherlands has been significantly limited in her mobility for several years. The post received more than 2,800 upvotes on reddit in a very short time and much support from the community.
With the latest update “Steel Dawn,” Bethesda responded and implemented a wheelchair as a C.A.M.P. item.
How Kytahl reacted: The English-language website Kotaku contacted the player living in the Netherlands after the news broke. She was moved by the action:
“That one of my favorite games is listening to me and implementing something like this .. I am at a loss for words. I literally shed a tear when I opened the building menu and saw the wheelchair. […] I know it’s just a decorative item, but I hope we see more disadvantaged characters in the future of gaming.”
Kelly to Kotaku via Twitter DM
How the community reacted: From the Fallout 76 community, both Kelly and Bethesda received a lot of positive feedback. Twitter user Matt Lorden praises the action and says it touches his heart. Similarly, TipToePigeon200 expresses: “That is your stamp that you leave on our community. Great suggestion, I was very happy to see it today (in-game).”
Also on reddit, players are enthusiastic about the idea and implementation. Renacious writes on reddit: “I have followed the story to its source on reddit and celebrate the idea! I will place a wheelchair in my C.A.M.P. and hope it will be a symbol of inclusion.”
“I often felt useless and helpless”
Kelly continues, stating that due to her two illnesses, she had a tough time as a teenager and had a distorted perception of herself. She often felt useless and helpless. Fallout NPCs like Proctor Ingram, of the Steel Brotherhood, who lost her legs in battle and now wears a power armor, serve as her inspiration.
Kelly runs a small motel in Fallout 76: In Fallout 76, Kelly runs a small motel and welcomes visitors. The wheelchair has already received an honorary place in her C.A.M.P. So if you come across Kytahl’s C.A.M.P. in the game, you will meet a life-affirming and proud player. The screenshots of her motel look impressive and would have good chances to rank high in a community event .

The Horde in WoW is not amused when an army of cats overwhelms them. After all, the Larions from Bastion are actually so cute …
With the Shadowlands expansion, PvP in the open world is revitalizing a bit. Many players are out in war mode, and smaller and larger skirmishes happen often. But how the Horde met its demise this time probably led to some confused rubbing of eyes. Rextroy has once again discovered a method to completely dismantle enemies – with an army of actually cute cats.
What happened? Rextroy is still not satisfied with Shadowlands and is always looking for new ways to annoy the enemy faction (usually the Horde) and destroy them in the blink of an eye. This time, he cleverly uses the cute Larions from the new area Bastion. With a whole army of them, he sweeps through the area, drawing individual Hordlers into his huge Larion troop, which makes quick work of the victim.
Although Rextroy’s character is only level 52 and the Larions are within level range, they dismantle Horde players up to level 60 within moments. But see for yourself:

How do you get the Larions as companions? To get the Larions, you must complete the side quest line in Bastion that ends with the “Pack or Unity” mission. Here you choose the Larions. This allows you to buy treats for the Larions if you have previously looted a specific treasure. You can apply these to all neutral and hostile Larions in Bastion – including the elite Larions – to make them companions for 10 minutes. They will then fight for you.
There is no limit; in theory, you can have an infinite number of Larions as companions as long as the 10-minute limit doesn’t run out and you’ve bought enough treats.
More about Rextroy’s crazy feats in WoW can be found here:
Is this intended? Probably not. Normally, such items only work with a single companion. When a second is summoned, the first disappears. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case with the Larions, which allows the mechanic to be exploited to create a huge army that deals massive amounts of damage. However, it can be assumed that Blizzard will soon curb this with a hotfix.
What do you think of this action? A cool thing or just annoying to be overwhelmed by such a horde of cats?
Pokémon GO is sorting out Mega Raids! A total of 4 Mega Pokémon will disappear from Raids in December. We will show you whether these bosses are still worth it.
The bosses will disappear on December 1st at 10:00 PM.
Instead, Mega Sceptile will come into the Raids immediately afterwards and will be available for the first time. We will show you what to expect in December during the Mega Raids and what the changes will mean.
4 Mega Raid bosses are leaving – Why?
This is behind the removal: Starting in December, the “GO Beyond” Update will begin. This will also introduce the seasons, which will have an effect on Mega Raids.
Niantic has already confirmed that some Mega Pokémon will become stronger during a season compared to others. A Mega Sceptile will likely be boosted by the first season, and the removed Pokémon could become rather weaker. In the next season, this might change again.
Mega Pidgeot is being removed from the Raids
Which Mega Raids are there in December? Unless additional bosses are removed, the list of Mega Raids in December should look as follows:
Mega Charizard X

Mega Sceptile
The selection is therefore limited. However, you shouldn’t be hoping for a specific boss, as there is a much greater chance of getting your desired boss.
Are the bosses still worth it? The 4 bosses that are disappearing in December are definitely worth it. Mega Pokémon are generally stronger than their normal forms and are a good choice in Raids.
However, the effort required for a Mega Pokémon and the few hours that a Mega Pokémon is available speak against these evolutions.
For the Mega Dex, you should have possessed each Mega Evolution at least once. So, if you are still short on energy for the evolutions, you should quickly complete the Mega Raids.
If you find it hard to motivate yourself to play in winter, then take a look here:
Winter has arrived in Germany and for trainers of Pokémon GO, this means cold fingers. We show you how to play effectively in winter.
We show you this here: Anyone out and about playing Pokémon GO is currently having a tough time. Bad weather and contact restrictions due to Corona make playing difficult.
To ensure that you still succeed, we give you tips for playing. This way, you can follow the Corona rules, brave the bad weather, and still be successful.
Tips for Pokémon GO in Winter
It should be clear: Even we at MeinMMO don’t know a magic remedy to chase away the cold. However, there are some gadgets that can help you in winter or ways to avoid the cold.
Incense has significantly improved. So just stay at home and light an incense for an hour. The Pokémon will come to you and your fingers will stay warm.
Your buddy brings gifts, and in general, you can carry more gifts. This makes sending and opening gifts from home easier.
In 2020, it’s easier than ever to effectively play from home. Here are some tips:
Since summer 2020, you can do remote raids in Pokémon GO. This is perfect for playing from home, as you can sit on the couch while being invited to raids from the other side of the world.
Standing outside in the cold for 2 minutes until the lobby expires is a thing of the past. Remote raids are ideal for winter, and anyone wanting to play effectively should consider remote raids.
Tip 3: Move to stay warm
Anyone still going outdoors should always stay in motion. This is essential because otherwise, you get cold much faster. If you encounter a large spawn point with many Pokémon, you should rather select only your favorites and leave the rest.
If you prefer to catch everything, you should use the catching trick. This trick allows you to catch Pokémon faster. So you can empty large spawn points within seconds.
Tip 4: Clothes make the Pokémon Trainer
Wearing thick clothes in winter is of course logical, but if you want to show everyone that you are a Pokémon Trainer even in winter, you should choose the right clothing.
We are linking some stylish Pokémon items here that show other trainers your love for the game. There are even masks with Pokémon designs:

Use the right gloves: Cold fingers are the biggest problem when playing in winter. Therefore, we recommend that you wear touchscreen gloves. With these, you can tap and throw on your phone while keeping your fingers warm:

Is your phone winter-proof? In winter, it becomes evident whether your phone still works well. When it’s cold, phones tend to lose battery faster, which reveals a problem. We are linking here 3 phones that we recommend for playing Pokémon GO:

Tip 5: Use a GO Plus
If you still have cold hands despite wearing gloves, you can rely on a useful gadget from Pokémon GO: the GO Plus or alternatively the Pokéball Plus.
With it, you can catch Pokémon at the push of a button and keep your hands in your pockets. The phone can even stay in your pocket – as long as the gadget is connected to your device.
The GO Plus is not only helpful in winter. If you want to take a walk without staring at your phone, the GO Plus is a good choice.
Just be careful. These gadgets are often sold out. We are linking them here:

Tip 6: Play in PvP mode
The PvP mode is relaxed from home and you don’t even have to go out. Currently, the PvP mode is also perfect for all beginners, because you can level up faster than ever.
It’s definitely worth spending a PvP evening on the couch to grab those rewards.
Tip 7: Clear your Pokémon box
Trading Pokémon is important and brings you, among other things, luck Pokémon with good IVs. In this regard, Niantic is also testing an increased trading radius. You can trade with friends without being directly nearby.
So take advantage of this opportunity in winter and sort out your Pokémon box and trade any Pokémon that are useful but you no longer need.
The Level 50 is coming to Pokémon GO along with the Platinum Medals. These are medals that are even better than the Gold Medals. Furthermore, you need these medals to advance to Level 50.
You can work on the medals you don’t have yet during the winter. These could be, for example, the medals related to PvP battles or the medal for Wayfarer evaluations.
Work diligently on your medals, and you’ll have an advantage by the time the maximum level is introduced.
More information about levels from 40 can be found here:

The well-known e-sports team Team SoloMid has signed a new player in League of Legends: Hu “SwordArt” Shuo-Chieh from Taiwan. He is said to have been contracted for a sum of $6 million – a record in LoL, especially for a support player.
Who is the player? SwordArt has been suspected as the new player for TSM for some time now, most recently after the retirement of LoL star Doublelift. Now, team owner Reginald has confirmed that he is under contract with Team SoloMid (via Washington Post).
Now, SwordArt is supposed to help build the new roster of Team SoloMid in North America. They are restructuring after both Doublelift and star player Bjergsen retired to move into management instead.
The title image is credited to Riot Games.
Contract likely leads to record amount
How much money does SwordArt get? According to the Washington Post, the contract between TSM and SwordArt is for two years and the player will receive $6 million (approximately €5 million). That is $3 million per year.
This means SwordArt earns more than an average Bundesliga player. In 2018, the average annual salary of German football professionals was €1.4 million, with the median being “only” €821,000 (via spox.com).
Previously, the record contract was rumored to be held by “LoL retiree” Jensen.
Additionally, SwordArt is a support player. Traditionally, players in this role receive the least attention and the least money. The focus is usually on the top stars in the mid-lane or among the AD carries, and less often on junglers or top laners.
Elsewhere, things do not look so rosy at the moment. The most important LoL team in the world, T1, was supposed to get a new coach, 27-year-old Nick “LS” De Cesare. However, he was swept away by a huge wave of hate.

This is what happened: On November 26, the Twitter channel “StreamerBans” reported that the Twitch partner Forsen was banned. His channel on Twitch is also no longer accessible.
The exact reasons for the ban have not yet been disclosed by Twitch. However, some fans suspect that it is related to DMCA regulations.

Why was the ban imposed? This is still completely open. The streamer has not been involved in any major scandals in recent weeks, so a ban is unlikely to be due to that.
Both Forsen and Twitch have remained silent on the incident, and many fans are already discussing the cause.
The topic around DMCA regulations is repeatedly mentioned. It concerns the streamer’s clips that possibly contain music for which they do not own the rights.
On Twitter, some viewers of Forsen report that the PUBG stream of Forsen might have been a reason for the ban. Other players reportedly targeted the streamer’s lobbies and intentionally played music that could lead to a ban.
In September, another ban followed, which only lasted one day – the reason for this was his Swedish accent, which Twitch understood as a swear word he didn’t actually use.
Forsen is among the biggest streamers on Twitch with over 1.4 million followers. He shows a variety of games there. Recently, it has mainly been Tekken 7 and PUBG.
If you’re looking for variety on Twitch, check out these female streamers:
A family was hit particularly hard. The Amazon driver who was supposed to deliver the console had it in his hand, but then got back into his car with the package and drove away. The PS5 never arrived and was stolen by the supplier.
Amazon driver fired after theft
The theft filmed: The family father filmed the event with the delivery person. He then shared it on Twitter. We have included the screenshot from the magazine Eurogamer, who discovered the case on Twitter:
The video shows the delivery person distributing several smaller Amazon packages to neighbors. Then he places a larger package in the street, which he shortly afterward loads back into his vehicle. The PlayStation 5 was reportedly contained in there.
Here’s how it proceeded: Eurogamer reports that the affected family was in contact with Amazon’s customer support afterward. They offered the family a refund and gift cards as compensation.
However, the daughter of the family drove to the Amazon warehouse and showed the recorded material to the manager there. Amazon assured the family and also stated in a local press release that they would fire the driver and that they have high standards for their drivers.
This is how the launch went for many fans: The PS5 launch was chaotic for many fans. The demand was massive, and Sony could only cover a small part of it. The allocations were sometimes sold out within minutes.
Accordingly, the prices that sellers are now demanding for the new console on eBay are also high. There, prices are sometimes more than double the original price for the PS5:
Weapon leveling in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes a good amount of time. With a new update, it is now a bit faster, but you need to play the right mode.
Which mode now brings more weapon levels? You can now level your weapons faster in the PvE mode “Zombies”.
With an update on November 25, the developers at Treyarch actually revised an exploit that allowed players to gain more XP on their weapon during 2XP events than intended. However, the developers completely changed the weapon leveling in the Zombie mode and believe that it is noticeably faster now:
A problem has been resolved that allowed players to collect more weapon XP than intended in Zombies during 2XP events. The fix also includes general weapon XP optimizations, leading to faster weapon leveling in Zombies.
The developers do not go into detail about why it is faster or how much more XP the Zombie mode now provides. However, the CoD makers apparently see the complaints from many players who criticize the slow progression of weapon levels.
Update November 27: The YouTube channel “COD Zombies HQ” states that with just under 2,000 Zombie eliminations before the patch, you could reach weapon level 12, and after the update, you can get to level 16. The tests took place during a double XP event.
Cold War: Update on November 25 – More Patch Notes
The update from November 25 has even more to offer. The developers addressed stability issues:
A problem with crashes in the game mode “Domination” has been fixed
There were sometimes crashes when using the ping
There was a problem when loading into a multiplayer match that could lead to crashes
On these points, Treyarch also does not provide further details, but at least 3 causes of game crashes in Cold War have disappeared. A major update over the last weekend (November 20) already eliminated 20 such issues and changed 12 weapons.
In closing, the update also brought another game mode for the new chaos map “Nuketown”:
Hardcore Nuketown 24/7 was added to the “Quick Play” selection
Hardcore players no longer have to endure the normal modes if they want to jump into chaos on the small map. You can read the complete patch notes in English on the Treyarch blog.
This weekend, the online fair MAG 2020 will take place. We will show you what to expect and what content you will see there.
What is MAG? The MAG is a community convention that took place for the first time in 2018. The fair focuses on video games, table-top games, anime & manga, cosplay, merchandise, and streaming.
Normally, it would also take place this year in Erfurt. Due to the Corona pandemic, the traditional fair, like many others before it, had to be canceled. Instead, the organizers have come up with a hybrid solution:
The fair offers a streaming program
At the same time, you will be able to visit the “fairgrounds” digitally, like in a kind of fair MMO.
When does the MAG take place? The streaming program of MAG 2020 goes online on Friday, November 27 at 2:00 PM. It ends on Sunday at 9:15 PM.
What will be there to see? To continue providing visitors with a fair experience, MAG has relocated its “fairgrounds” to a virtual online world.
In the “MAG-MMO” by Super Crowd Entertainment, you can visit various areas of the fair with your character, which consist of 14 different themed worlds such as gaming, Japan, tabletop, cosplay, etc.
Each exhibitor has its own area that you can enter with your character. There, you have the opportunity to chat with the exhibitors, interact with various items in the world, or collect fan stickers and experience points.
In Destiny 2 Guardians long for powerful loot, and the Deep Stone Crypt fulfills this wish. You will find the new raid weapons here, including perk tips and fixed rolls.
If you master the challenges, special equipment that is only available in the Deep Stone Crypt will be your reward. With the new weapons, you can clear out and show off throughout the game.
MeinMMO introduces the new raid weapons to you here. You will learn what special perks the guns have, what the curated roll looks like, and what alternatives are currently available.
By the way, since the first Guardians managed to completely crack the raid, the game world has changed for everyone. You can read more about this here:
All stated status values are the base values of the weapon. So still without bonuses from perks. In comparison to other legendary weapons, the base values are undeniably high.
The curated roll is a special version of the weapon, which comes with a fixed roll rather than random perks.

Dusk – Hand Cannon
This is what the weapon can do: The new legendary hand cannon “Dusk” deals Arc damage and has a 180 rate of fire. This makes it very precise, has little recoil, and hits everything even in the air. However, the damage is relatively low.
In PvE, you will enjoy an easy-to-use weapon that avoids the annoying reload with nearly every perk or makes it faster.
In PvP, the 180s are not so popular, as their time-to-kill (TTK) is 1.0 seconds. However, they are perfect for learning hand cannons because they have very little recoil.
Origin: If this weapon breaks an enemy’s shield, it reloads from reserves – If the damage type matches the shield, ammunition is generated
One for All: Hits against three different targets increase damage for a medium duration
These are the stats:
Other strong perks include:
Vorpal Weapon: Increases damage against bosses, vehicles, and enemy supers.
Is there a good alternative? With update 3.0.0.3, another 180 hand cannon returned to the game on November 24: the Seventh Seraph Officer Revolver. It can create Warmind Cells on its own but has poor base values.
The following page continues with another primary weapon.
