Only 2 days after the launch of Beyond Light, Destiny 2 disables a popular exotic weapon. Apparently, the reason is a damage bug in PvP.
Recently, the new expansion Beyond Light and the new Season 12, the Season of the Hunt have launched in Destiny 2. These bring a variety of new content, but apparently, they have also introduced some problems. Bungie has now been forced to disable an exotic weapon.
This is the weapon in question: The exotic grenade launcher Witherhoard is affected by the ban. It was introduced with Season 11 and quickly became one of the most popular exotics among many players due to its spreading “damage over time” effect. Many have also started the new expansion with it.
Witherhoard Disabled – But Why?
This is what Bungie says about the deactivation: Bungie does not specify exactly what the problem with this weapon exotic is. In a tweet from the Help account, it merely states that they have disabled Witherhoard due to a problem until further notice.

What is the reason now? Even though Bungie does not elaborate on the problem with the weapon, the exotic has apparently been removed to maintain balance in the Crucible, that is, in PvP. There are several reports from players who have mentioned a damage bug with Witherhoard in PvP following Update 3.0.0.1.
The YouTuber Cheese Forever has covered the bug in detail here:

The grenades from Witherhoard leave a kind of decay pool, poisoning an area. If opponents are in this pool, they take damage over time. However, due to the bug, the effect persisted even after leaving the pool. This resulted in one-hit kills in PvP if an opponent had been in the pool at least once. It is unclear whether this problem also affected PvE.
When will the weapon return? This is currently unknown. However, we will keep you updated on this here at MeinMMO.
This week the new Xbox Series X was released and many pre-order customers have already started playing. However, complaints about the console are also increasing. The focus is on the drive.
What is going on with the Series X? As various users reported on YouTube or Twitter, they are experiencing problems with the drive of the new Xbox Series X.
It is said to make funny “clicking noises” after it has pulled in a disc, or it does not pull in the discs at all.
The “clicking noises” are very clearly shown in the video by Twitter user @RWillows:

What does Microsoft say? Although many tweets and complaints are directed at Microsoft and the Xbox team, there has been no official statement about the problem so far.
But that does not stop the community from looking for solutions themselves.
The community finds solutions, but they don’t always work
What can be done about the problems? Among the tweets and videos regarding the drive issues, there are various tips and tricks that are supposed to help:
For some consoles, it has helped to stand them up or lay them down, depending on which position they were in before.
Others report that the clicking stopped after several insertions and ejections of discs.
The YouTuber Dante Lee writes in his video description that the drive improved after he forcefully inserted discs multiple times. Eventually, it started to pull in the discs correctly by itself.
You can watch how his console sounded before in the corresponding video:

Only the problems regarding logins at Xbox Live somewhat diminished the otherwise good launch of the console. And for some, of course, the issues with the drive.
Some videos talk about burning consoles – but that is fake.
Some problems, like a supposed overheating issue, are apparently fabricated. The Xbox Series X does not catch fire, as some videos and images claim. It is a trick with steam and the fan:

TSM is one of the most successful League of Legends teams in America. However, it did not go well at Worlds 2020. Following that, the Dane Bjergsen ended his active professional career. The midlane position is now apparently set to be filled by a German player.
Who is the new player? According to Jacob Wolf from ESPN, who is regarded as the information source regarding LoL, the German player Tristan “PowerOfEvil” Schrage is set to join Team SoloMid.
However, a signature will only come on November 16, when the official transfer period begins. PowerOfEvil has reportedly already informed TSM that he would like to join them. According to Wolf, he turned down an offer from Team Evil Geniuses, who are also looking for a midlaner.

Bjergsen stated that the switch to the coaching position has nothing to do with the performance at Worlds. There, TSM did not achieve a single victory in the group stage. Instead, he had been coaching the team alongside playing for a long time. Now he wants to focus entirely on coaching.
PowerOfEvil is considered one of the strongest players in the USA
Who is the new midlaner? PowerOfEvil is a 22-year-old German LoL player who has been playing in the American LCS since the end of 2017. He was most recently with the team FlyQuest.
His team achieved 2nd place in the 2020 Summer Playoffs and qualified for Worlds. However, they were eliminated in the group stage by the teams Top Esports and DRX, finishing with 3 wins and 3 losses.
PowerOfEvil definitely had a large share in FlyQuest’s success.
The FlyQuest team at Worlds 2020. However, they were eliminated with a 3:3 result.
What makes him so strong? In an interview, the player revealed earlier this year that many people have underestimated him so far. PowerOfEvil is an active and aggressive midlaner.
During the 2020 Summer Playoffs, he was involved in 74.8% of all kills of his team. This was the highest rate of all midlaners in the LCS (via Oracleselixir).
In the 19 games, he secured 62 kills, the second most in the playoffs. Only his predecessor Bjergsen was stronger in this regard. He achieved 90 kills, but in 25 games.
Moreover, PowerOfEvil had the highest average gold difference among all midlaners against his direct opponent. He is also strong in the laning phase.
Now, with Bjergsen as his coach, PowerOfEvil could become an even stronger midlaner.
PerkZ from G2 Esports could become PowerOfEvil’s greatest competitor.
Whether PowerOfEvil will become the best midlaner in the LCS next season remains to be seen. After all, there are rumors that PerkZ from G2 Esports may be moving to the USA. Cloud 9 is favored as the new employer. The only obstacle currently seems to be the transfer fee:
Raids are the pinnacle of PvE in World of Warcraft. However, in the nearly 16 years of the game, there have been better and worse of these massive instances. We want to know just before the release of Shadowlands: Which raid is your favorite?
Raids are, along with Mythic Keystone dungeons, the greatest challenge in PvE for WoW players. In the past, up to 40 players were necessary, but today an average of still 20 is required.
Since the introduction of the LFR tool, pretty much every player has the opportunity to see these massive instances that hold some of the best loot in the game. However, not every player finds every raid to be successful.
We present to you all raids from the past to choose from, from Classic to Battle for Azeroth. However, it’s only about the raids and not the expansions themselves. So if you’ve perhaps already stopped playing Classic, the Molten Core or Ahn’Qiraj can still be your favorite raids.
Raids that appear twice, such as Naxxramas, are listed separately for each expansion. Dungeons that can also be played as raids, like Grimrail Depot or Blackrock Foundry, are excluded.
You have only one choice, so you must specifically decide on one raid. It doesn’t matter whether you liked specific mechanics like the dancing in the upcoming raid Castle Nathria, the story, or just found the aesthetics the coolest: each of these criteria can be a reason to choose one of the instances. For easier navigation, we have listed the raids chronologically by expansion.
Which raid did you choose? What was your reason for this choice? Discuss in the comments!
With the upcoming expansion Shadowlands, a new raid will be released: Castle Nathria, which will open its doors as the first raid of the add-on. In our overview article, you will find all other important information and details about Shadowlands.

The virtual streamer “Project Melody” was banned from Twitch for a short time. The reason was a bizarre copyright complaint: the artist who created the avatar claimed ownership of the channel, as the streamer explained.
What kind of streamer is she? Project Melody is a virtual streamer modeled after an anime girl. She has blue hair and wears a band-aid on her nose. Her avatar is rendered in real-time by the Unity Engine.
In her biography, she claims to be an artificial intelligence designed to handle annoying tasks. However, she then evolved independently and began to take an interest in human sexuality. Artificial intelligences do this constantly, when they are not playing DOTA 2 – this is well-known.
Project Melody can be found on various platforms on the internet, as a content creator but also as a erotically performing camgirl, if one is inclined to such things. On Twitch, she has over 300,000 followers. She frequently appears in Just Chatting, but also plays Minecraft or Among Us occasionally.
She emphasizes that she is “a good girl” on Twitch.

What was the ban about? Recently, Project Melody’s channel was banned on Twitch. As it later turned out, the creator of the avatar filed a copyright complaint against the channel operator on Twitch, claiming that the channel operator was infringing on his rights.
Twitch subsequently banned the channel but later reinstated it.
This is what “Project Melody” says: In a tweet to her fans, the virtual streamer explained the situation:
The modeler claimed ownership of “her body” and asserted authorship on it – this led to the Twitch ban.
She had a deal with the 3D modelers DigitrevX for $5,000 to create the avatar.
After the avatar was finished, DigitrevX offered additional services – a payment for these additional services was rejected by the company.
Ultimately, DigitrevX wanted Project Melody to sign a contract for $40,000 a month with a partner company – which Project Melody did not want.
After that, DigitrevX allegedly wanted Project Melody to promote and boost their new project YFUBaby (12,000 followers on Twitch) – then they would be square.
However, after everything fell apart, the business relationship turned negative and led to this copyright complaint. The company felt cheated out of its services, while Project Melody felt pressured into a business relationship she did not want.

This is how it turned out: The streamer was able to prove that the artists who created the body acknowledged that Project Melody is the owner of the intellectual property and can therefore continue to appear on Twitch.
She was able to dismiss the copyright complaint.
The streamer says: Behind the scenes of the streams, she has been struggling with this problem for months. This has taken a heavy toll on her.
She says: They want to take everything away from her, even though she “paid for the body.” The brand belongs to her; he only created the model.
Project Melody has published numerous screenshots of chat messages, invoices, and contracts on imgur to prove that her depiction of the truth is accurate (via twitlonger).
There is no statement regarding the events on DigitrevX’s Twitter channel. They are still promoting “their new version” of an anime girl. However, it has not been as successful on Twitch as the original.
He has experience with virtual girls: Sodapoppin.
The story of the virtual streamer somewhat resembles the Twitch ban of Sodapoppin. The well-known streamer also received a ban from Twitch for having contact with virtual anime girls, with a succubus:
A crazy motorcycle stunt in GTA Online is currently exciting players. The rider glides under 100 trailers with his bike and then doubles it.
What kind of stunt is this? On reddit, the user TheRealMurda10k posted a video in the community. He published the first one on November 9 at around 8:00 PM and wrote: “My thumb went numb while doing this. 100 fuel tanks, in case you’re wondering.”
The video received over 270 comments and more than 14,300 upvotes. Players wrote in the thread that they admire his skill and how cool they find the stunt (via reddit).
This is what sliding under the tanks with the motorcycle looks like
How does it work? After jumping over a small ramp, the rider intentionally lands at an angle and then skillfully keeps his motorcycle in this tilted position. That requires a lot of practice, to not tip over or hit the highly explosive trailers.
The stunt gets even more extravagant – 200 trailers
Here’s what happened next: Inspired by his success, the stunt rider posted the next video on reddit about 24 hours later. And he stepped it up again.
He calls it: “You liked it when I did 100. So here are 200. I would do more, but 200 is the limit.”
Due to current technical problems with embedding reddit videos, you can view it here on reddit.com and watch it. Alternatively, we also found the video on TikTok and embedded this clip directly in the article. It’s best to lower your sound beforehand.

Even the new video with the 200 trailers is really well-received in the community and has already garnered over 14,000 upvotes. Players are demanding that the stunt rider should blow the tanks up at the end and create a new video from that.
Are you also stunt riders in GTA Online and push the cars, motorcycles, or airplanes to their limits? Or do you prefer to just watch such crazy stunts?
Or are you currently not active in GTA Online and taking a break?
Genshin Impact has many playable characters for players to choose from. The developer miHoYo reveals who is currently at the forefront.
What do the developers say? In an interview with the colleagues from Polygon, the developers named the character Fischl as the players’ favorite. According to miHoYo, the internal statistics show that the Princess of Condemnation is actively used by most players.
While the gap between the individual characters is not overwhelmingly large, Fischl still managed to fight her way to the top. Developer miHoYo said about this:
Every character will have their own fan base, and we believe it is best to let the players decide for themselves who their favorites are.
Why is Fischl popular? The Princess of Condemnation Fischl is a rather eccentric and mysterious character who was banished from the world of Immernachtreich. Since then, she travels together with her raven Oz through Teyvat and “watches and weaves the threads of fate”.
Fischl is also a really powerful character. She is an Electro user who uses a bow and is extremely mobile. Although she is “only” a 4-star character, she can still deal substantial damage. She is ranked among the S-tier characters and is one of the best supports in the game.
Some players in the Genshin Impact community call her “Machine Gun Fischl”, either because of her fast builds or due to the animation canceling method that further increases her damage output.
We at MeinMMO asked the developer miHoYo about Fischl’s popularity in connection with our survey. They have their own theories about why Fischl is so popular:
Thank you to all Mein-MMO readers who voted for Fischl! First of all, Fischl’s characterization, including her personality, movements, and dialogues, has been continuously updated by our team to make the character as vibrant and engaging as possible.
Moreover, the eccentric style of the character is likely very appealing to many players, and her handling in the game is relatively simple, which may also contribute to her popularity.
What’s going on in Genshin Impact? Players can currently look forward to the first major update in Genshin Impact. Patch 1.1 brought along
new characters
banners
weapons
continuation of the story of Genshin Impact as well as additional side quests
new world quests
There will also soon be an opportunity to obtain the popular and strong Fischl for free from an event. This will start on November 16 and end on November 30. So keep your eyes open and grab the useful Electro support.
In Destiny 2 the new Season 12, the Season of the Hunt, has begun with Beyond Light. This brings Guardians the special Exotic shotgun Duality (eng. Duality).
This weapon is about: The exotic shotgun Duality has been newly introduced in Beyond Light. It stands out because it combines both types of shotguns from Destiny. It can be used as a precision hunting rifle or as a spreading shotgun.
MeinMMO explains in this article what the Exotic can do, where to get it, and what the masterwork catalyst is about.
What makes Duality exotic: Duality deals Solar damage and fires with green special ammo. The magazine holds 6 rounds and it has a fire rate of 65. Particularly the range and handling surpass the competition.
The magic comes from the two unique exotic perks:
Compression chamber: Fires a hail of pellets when firing from the hip or a single high-damage round when aiming (Slug).
On black wings: Shotgun deathblows grant stackable precision damage and a reload speed buff. Precision hits with rounds (Slugs) extend the duration.
You have the choice: do you fire a widely spread salvo or aim and shoot a single projectile at significantly greater range? Thus, Duality directly competes with the exotic slug shotgun Chaperone. This one also fires a slug, but cannot use the normal shotgun pellets.
In PvP, you can take out an opponent from the hip at about 5 meters. The slug shot achieves a one-shot kill at about 10 meters, with precision buff even at 11.
How to obtain the cult weapon from Destiny 1 that has been reintroduced in the DLC, we have it here for you:
Get the new exotic shotgun “Duality” in the Season of the Hunt
Where can you get the weapon? The new shotgun comes via the new Season Pass of the Season of the Hunt. All Guardians can claim the Exotic. Season 12 launched simultaneously with the expansion Destiny 2: Beyond Light.
How to get the Exotic:
If you purchased Beyond Light along with Season 12 (or the Digital Deluxe Edition of Beyond Light), you can pick up a gift package at Level 1 of the Season Pass. Navigate to the Seasons tab and check the Level 1 field of the pass.
If you do not buy Season 12, you can still unlock the weapon through the free rewards branch of the new Season Pass. However, you’ll need to reach Season Level 35 there first.
At Rank 100, owners of the Season will receive an exclusive ornament for the weapon, that is, a skin.
Season buyers get Duality at Rank 1, others at Rank 35.
What about the exotic catalyst of Duality in Beyond Light?
How to make Duality a masterwork: Once you have obtained the shotgun, you need to visit Banshee-44 in the Tower. He has the quest “Fine Line” for you. As a reward, you will receive the exotic masterwork catalyst for Duality.
As a masterwork, Duality gets +20 range and increases the magazine size to 8.
What Banshee requires from you:
You need to calibrate the weapon – complete Crucible or Gambit matches for this. Alternatively, you can make progress in Strikes or Nightfalls. In the Nightfall, you get more points than in the normal Nightfall.
Eliminate 50 Guardians with the Exotic.
Defeat 100 enemies with Duality’s slug rounds.
Once you have mastered everything to the satisfaction of the gunsmith, you will receive the catalyst. However, you must level it up with 400 kills through Duality until you finally have the masterwork finished.
Have you already obtained the new Exotic? What do you think of Duality – shotgun in conflict or all-rounder?
Daniel Melville was born with only one hand. However, he has a bionic prosthesis that opens up new possibilities for him. Moreover, the arm styled like Metal Gear Solid looks pretty cool as well.
This is the Hero Arm: The so-called Hero Arm from Open Bionics is a bionic prosthesis for children and adults who have had an amputation below the elbow or whose arm has been in this condition since birth. The individual parts are made with a 3D printer.
However, a bionic prosthesis is not just a visual change. The trick of the Hero Arm is that it recognizes muscle movements in the arm through sensors and transmits them to the hand. This makes the prosthesis feel almost as precise as if it were realistic.
In addition to this multifunctionality, the prosthesis is also supposed to be affordable. And it should be incredibly stylish, so that one wears it with pride instead of shame.
For this, the Hero Arm comes with different covers to change the appearance of the prosthesis (via openbionics.com). Open Bionics collaborates with Disney for Star Wars, Marvel, and Frozen.
And now also with Konami for an arm with a cover like Snake from Metal Gear Solid 5.
The wearer, Daniel Melville, loves the new design of his prosthesis:

The new cover of the Hero Arm is inspired by Venom Snake. He is the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. He lost his arm in an accident, which is initially replaced by a simple prosthesis.
After some time, however, he receives a bionic arm from a Soviet engineer. This is initially white and then gets the famous red color of Snake. The color can be changed depending on the function of the arm, for example, yellow for a stun effect. The real-life version may not be able to do that, but the prosthesis is still cool.
The bionic prosthesis in close-up
This is the wearer of the arm: Daniel Melville, the wearer of the Metal Gear Solid prosthesis, is part of the Bionic Squad of Open Bionics. This is how the company describes the wearers of the Hero Arms.
According to his own statement, Dan has always been a fan of science fiction, comics, and video games. Even though he was born with only his left hand, that never held him back. He found his own way to approach things.
However, he had to face some setbacks as a child. His parents did not have the money to purchase a bionic prosthesis. So he wore many prostheses that had absolutely no function. At times he felt isolated from society and not good enough due to his missing hand.
Since he started wearing the Hero Arm, everything has changed. He can now handle everyday tasks effortlessly. For example, opening a bottle of water or gaming with both hands, a dream for the gaming fan.
This is how the journey began: The arm styled like Metal Gear Solid is not Dan’s first Hero Arm. He came into the media spotlight in 2018. Back then, it was for a bionic arm inspired by Adam Jensen from the game Deus Ex: Mankind Divided:

With this arm, he even set a world record. He was awarded in the 2018 Gamer Edition for the first prosthesis modeled after a video game (via guinnessworldrecords.com).
This is the team at Open Bionics: The brains behind the Hero Arms are the team from Open Bionics. Even at 17 years old, founder Joel Gibbard was fascinated by bionic hands and eventually founded the company Open Bionics with Samantha Payne. In 2018, they were even crowned the hottest start-up at the Europa Awards.
Based in Bristol, UK, the team works with customers to develop arms and hands that suit them. These include sports, board game, and gaming fans. And the customers are also enthusiastic about science fiction. So it is not surprising that such a cool video game cover for the Hero Arm was created, like the one of Snake.

Fortnite is now playable on the Xbox Series X, and players are already showing first gameplay on the new console. We show you how pretty Fortnite looks with the next-gen update and how it affects the higher FPS.
This is the situation: Since November 10, the Xbox Series X/S is available for all players. Epic had announced early on that Fortnite would be available on the consoles with a new next-gen version from day one.
This was a new version adapted for the new consoles and is expected to bring several improvements. Players are already showing the first gameplay with the prettier version of the game.
What has changed? Epic had already announced that several things would change on the new consoles. Improvements were expected in the following areas:
4K resolution with 60 FPS
Dynamic graphics and physics
Faster loading times
Improved split-screen
Players should especially notice a change in graphics and physics, as it affects grasses, trees, explosions, smoke, liquids, as well as completely new storm and cloud effects.
1. Gameplay recordings on the Xbox Series X
This is what it looks like in the game itself: The above-mentioned changes already sound exciting, but what it looks like in the game itself is the interesting part. YouTuber UnitedG shows right from the start of a round how Fortnite looks on the new console:

Right at the beginning, you can see the new cloud effects that Epic has introduced from the Battle Bus. Those who look closely will notice one or the other improvement right away.
To make the effects clearer, we show you here a few images created by Eurogamer.net. You can clearly see the improvements there.
Here you can see how the sunsets affect the skin and its pickaxe. The pickaxe glows even though it is not yet dark:

In the next image, you can see a skin from the Battle Pass of Season 4 that is equipped with neon wings on the back. As an outfit, she wears a silver “armor,” which immediately provides optical feedback on the wings. The light from the wings reflects significantly on the metallic surface and creates another effect:

Physics elements have a realistic effect
This is what it looks like now: Not only the graphics have changed, but also the physics, which then affect liquids, smoke, and explosions in the game.

On the Xbox Series X, significant improvements in animation can be seen. The smoke is clearly visible after an explosion and lingers longer in the air, which also makes sense.
Fortnite on Xbox Series X with 120 FPS?
Does this even work? The FPS (frames per second) were previously limited to 60 in Fortnite. This remains the highest value that can be set even on the Xbox Series X. The 120 FPS are currently only reserved for PCs.
Epic had also announced that Fortnite should run at 60 FPS on the Xbox Series X/S. However, no further increase was reported.
So those who already have an Xbox Series X at home can dive into the “new” Fortnite right away. Players are still waiting for the release of the PS5, as there will also be some improvements for Fortnite there. With update 14.50, Epic had already rolled out the next-gen update and provided more details on what will change on the new consoles.

What is praised: The beautiful graphics of A3: Still Alive are a highlight for many users. Kelly C writes:
I was completely blown away by this game. The graphics are stunning, the controls are easy, and the game is action-packed. This game was much more than I expected for a mobile game. I love it!
In addition, the fast-paced action and the scope of the game are praised, among others by user Gaurav Gandhi:
This game is packed with action. It has so many features like MMORPG plus Battle Royale, top-down camera like Ragnarok, 6 classes each with 18 unique abilities, huge weapons, skills, pets with unique abilities, etc.
What is not well received: Especially the optional autoplay in PvE is criticized by some users. The fact that the own hero does everything automatically like in an “MMO manager” and you only have to intervene to a limited extent has nothing to do with gaming for many players. User Shane Walch writes:
Another autoplay game. I can’t wait for this trend to die. What’s the point of these games? Why not just make a YouTube video of it playing itself, that’s just as entertaining and requires the same level of skill. Even calling it a “game” might be a bit far-fetched, since you could play it with your eyes closed by just tapping on the same area of the screen.
Other players think the game itself is great but would like more customization options for characters, including eliminating gender locks for the classes. Michael Finklea says:
I love the game wholeheartedly but I just wish there were more customization options. For example, changing the gender of the class and the body type of the character. And a few more hairstyles and eye colors would be good too.
Partially, bad performance is also criticized, among others by Joell Jansen:
So far pretty decent, but I keep disconnecting for no reason, and now I can’t even finish a quest, so I’m stuck. Even during the Battle Royale, this happens, preventing me from playing.
What about the Battle Royale? Regarding the Battle Royale, there was only sporadic criticism, but it was mentioned that it is “only” a kind of arena and that one would only win by massively spamming skills.

The Battle Royale of A3.
In summary, the game looks good, plays pleasantly, and offers plenty of content. On the other hand, some players are annoyed by the autoplay and the gender lock for the classes. But at least in PvP, the autoplay is disabled, and you have to take action yourself.
If you want to try A3: Still Alive, you can find it for free download in the App Store or on Google Play.

Genshin Impact has a new system. We explain how reputation works and how to increase your standing.
Patch 1.1 is now live in Genshin Impact and has brought numerous new features. One of the most important features is the reputation system – in the English version it is called “reputation”, although many players simply refer to it as “standing”. This system unlocks various bonuses, recipes, and rewards. In this guide, we explain what you need to do for a high reputation score, how to increase your standing, and what the best rewards are.
How to unlock the reputation system: To start collecting reputation, the system must first be unlocked. Depending on which of the two regions you want to collect reputation in, there are different requirements.
Reputation in Mondstadt: Reach Adventure Rank 25 and complete the quest line “The Stranger Who Caressed the Wind” (Prologue – Act 1). Afterwards, you can speak to Hertha in Mondstadt to access the Mondstadt reputation system.
Reputation in Liyue: You also need Adventure Rank 25 here. Additionally, the quest line “The Farewell Visit” must have been completed (Chapter I – Act 2). Afterwards, you can speak to Miss Yu at the Liyue harbor. A quest should automatically lead you to her.
You can identify the reputation NPC by the triangle symbol on the map.
How does one gain reputation? To increase reputation with the population of Mondstadt and Liyue, you need to collect reputation experience. You can earn this through four different activities that you can check with Hertha (Mondstadt) and Yu (Liyue). The four activities are:
Bounties: Find and defeat special enemies.
Requests from Residents: Help residents with their problems.
World Exploration: Explore the game world and loot treasures.
Quests: The quest lines in each respective area.
What are Bounties? Bounties are tasks where you must track down and defeat a specific enemy. These enemies often have special strengths and weaknesses. For example, a Ruin Guard might take less damage from Cryo and Pyro damage, but be particularly vulnerable to two-handed attacks. Study the task carefully to know the enemy’s weaknesses before the fight.
Harder bosses grant more reputation – so choose wisely.
Then accept the task and travel to the marked location on the map. Once you arrive, a time limit will be triggered. Usually, you must first pick up the enemy’s trail by activating your elemental sight and finding several clues that eventually lead to the opponent. Find and defeat the target within the time limit to successfully complete the mission.
Stronger enemies grant more reputation XP. Those who want to quickly increase their reputation should therefore accept the harder tasks.
Requests from Residents: These requests are various tasks from residents and can differ. Usually, you simply need to collect some items and bring them to the respective person to complete the task and receive rewards. What you need to collect can always be viewed in the task description.
Every week, residents have problems – luckily you can help.
Note that you can only complete 3 bounty tasks each week (reset on Monday). This limit applies to all cities combined.
Note that you can only help 3 residents each week (reset on Monday). This limit applies to all cities combined.
World Exploration: You typically complete world exploration while playing the game. You need to explore the game world, as the name suggests. This means primarily opening treasure chests and solving small puzzles in the game world. Gradually, the percentage that shows how much of the game world you have explored and raided will increase.
Exploration is typically unlocked in the process.
At steps 20%, 40%, and 60%, you can receive rewards. These include a medium amount of Mora and a large amount of reputation XP.
The rewards for world exploration can only be collected once.
Quests: The last category shows how many quests you have completed in Mondstadt or Liyue. Once you have completely finished a quest line, you can collect a reward here. Main quests reward 100 reputation XP, while side quests only grant 20 reputation XP.
Main quests now also grant XP for reputation.
The rewards for quests can only be collected once.
Need more tips for Genshin Impact? These guides will help you out:
What rewards does the reputation system provide? To make all the effort worthwhile, there are a number of rewards that can be unlocked through the reputation system. We show you all the rewards you can receive.
Whenever you collect enough reputation XP, you will level up in the reputation tier of Mondstadt or Liyue. You can then claim rewards.

After that, you can choose freely whether you want to increase your reputation in Liyue or Mondstadt first – or both at the same time.

Godfall is a new action RPG for PS5 and PC. It releases on November 12. However, even beforehand, some websites were able to test the game and publish their reviews in time for the lifting of an embargo around the PS5. However, on Metacritic, Godfall is not doing well.
What is Godfall? In the action RPG, which the developers themselves refer to as a “loot slasher,” you take on the role of a god-like warrior. As this character, you slash your way through hordes of monsters led by the insane god Macros.
What do the first reviews on Metacritic say? Before the official release of the game, several reviews have already appeared, of which 6 are also listed on Metacritic.
Besides the final ratings, there have also been numerous reports that are still being completed. In these, Godfall does not fare well either. However, further tests may still strongly influence the score on Metacritic due to the currently low number of tests.
The current rating of 62 is thus just a snapshot.
All reviews of Godfall at a glance on Metacritic
God is a Geek – 85/100
GamesRadar – 70/100
Shacknews – 70/100
Digital Trends – 50/100
TheGamer – 50/100
EGM – 40/100
What do the ratings look like in Germany? Currently, there are no reviews from Germany yet, which could be related to the fact that the PS5 launches later here. However, Shacknews claims to have access to a PC code for their test.
In Godfall, you take on the role of a powerful hero and slash your way through hordes of enemies and bosses.
This is what the critics say about Godfall
In this section, we summarize some reviews regarding Godfall and include conclusions that have not yet given a final rating.
What is praised? Great praise is given for the combat system. It is said to feel fantastic and to be responsive. One should really feel the impact of the attacks. It is said that Godfall comes very close to the battles of God of War.
The skill trees, which are said to bring variation to the playstyle, are described as diverse and deep. Furthermore, the boss fights and the general idea with the loot system are praised.
The website God is Geek also emphasizes the accessibility of Godfall.
What is criticized? Early in the game, it is said to become very grindy. Compounding this, all missions, tasks, and fights are said to feel the same. Reviews report that many enemies and mechanics are frequently reused, which leads to boredom quickly.
Even though the concept of a loot slasher is well received, the loot generally fails to impress. Digital Trends compared the game more to Diablo than Destiny, but the loot spiral simply does not impress.

The press quotes
God is a Geek: “Godfall is a massive surprise. It borrows the combat from God of War and has enough loot to make Diablo blush. It may look gaudy, but it is well designed and has that ‘one more go’ factor.
TheGamer: “Godfall is the epitome of a launch title. The polished PS5 exclusive showcases the power of the new hardware with its intricate, reflective halls of gold and obsidian, luminescent plants, and enemies exploding in a rain of particles. “The next generation is here,” it declares in a scream barely audible over the brutal swordplay. Yet underneath all that glitz and noise, there’s nothing new.
Shacknews: “Unfortunately, what appeared to be a fine jewel in the glare of the flashlight ultimately turns out to be just a shiny piece of glass that leaves much to be desired. If you’re looking for a rather pointless RPG experience that offers various weapons and gear to play around with, then Godfall will at least provide you with a few hours of fun.”
Digital Trends: “Godfall offers plenty of promise with its impressive visuals and impactful combat, but these highlights get lost in a sparse dungeon crawler that quickly wears out its welcome. It is very different from the clone that Destiny 2 fans expected, but the live-service style may have suited its loot-grinding style better.”
GamesRadar+: “An entertaining hack-and-slash looter that plays well despite its sparse and repetitive structure.”
EGM: “Godfall’s sluggish, overly complicated combat, the incredibly thin story, and numerous technical issues make it a lowlight of the PlayStation 5 launch lineup.”
What happened? In FUT 21, players can complete the “FUT Champions Upgrade” SBC and receive red Inform cards from previous TOTWs as a reward. Some players did this today and were quite surprised when previously unreleased TOTW cards appeared as rewards.
Because the cards distributed by EA as rewards suggest that they could be players from the upcoming Team of the Week 7. Especially since they can also be found in the current TOTW predictions.
For more information on FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, check out our articles:
These players are now known: It quickly became known on reddit that some players seemingly received TOTW 7 cards. This led FUT players to publish their incorrect SBC rewards:

However, keep in mind that these cards have not yet been officially confirmed by EA Sports. The official Team of the Week may differ significantly from these cards. We will know more this evening and will let you know which TOTW cards await you in packs.
What about Messi? Many players hoped for Messi in the new TOTW 7, but since a player from FC Barcelona, likely Sergi Roberto, will represent, this diminishes the chances for Lionel Messi.
If you are looking for further reinforcements for your team, you should check the transfer market. It is currently full of cheap players and allows for example strong Bundesliga teams.

After the launch of Destiny 2: Beyond Light, you can now claim your preorder and bonus items. But which ones exactly are they? And how do you actually get them?
What are these items about? Destiny 2 has finally launched the new Beyond Light expansion along with the new Season 12.
The now 4th year of Destiny 2 brings a lot of fresh content, such as new exotics, new gear, a new campaign, or a new raid.
Moreover, some players can also look forward to certain bonuses they have received from a specific version of Beyond Light or the preorder. But how do you actually get these goodies?
Here are the bonus items for Beyond Light
Claiming Preorder Bonuses – Here’s How
Items involved: Depending on the edition, there are some bonus items for buyers and preorders that are meant to sweeten the new Destiny content. These include:
the exotic sparrow “Every Other Horizon” from the Deluxe Edition
the legendary emblem “Beyond Light” for preorders
the exotic gesture “Tapping Means Freezing” for preorders
the exotic “Reef Crystal” ghost shell for preorders
The iconic pulse rifle “No Time to Explain” with catalyst and ornament is essentially a type of bonus item that only buyers of specific editions of Beyond Light receive in Season 12.
Here’s how to get them: This is still puzzling some players. However, it is actually very simple, though not immediately obvious.
Simply pay a visit to the cryptarch Master Rahool in the Tower. He is almost directly at the landing zone in the courtyard area of the Tower. After landing, keep to the right, and you won’t miss him. He is also displayed on the Tower map with a unique symbol. You can pick up all these items directly from him.
The Design Chief of Star Wars Battlefront 2, Dennis Brännvall, is stepping down and leaving EA Dice in November 2020. He was the mastermind behind the great success that Battlefront 2 eventually became. After 8 years in the studio, he is gone. Fans believe: This means EA Dice is focusing on Battlefield 6 and is not making a new Star Wars Battlefront 3 anytime soon.
This is what Dennis Brännvall says: The Design Director of Star Wars Battlefront 2, Dennis Brännvall, says on Twitter: Eight years ago, there were goosebumps and tears of joy at EA Dice when they found out that they had acquired the Star Wars license and could make these games.
Eight years later, his journey is over. He leaves EA Dice. Brännvall thanks the fans and may the Force be with them.

This is how Star Wars Battlefront 2 went: Brännvall has gone through exciting 8 years, especially the last three were thrilling:
Star Wars Battlefront 2 launched in November 2017 and suffered one of the biggest shitstorms in video game history. The game was accused of taking loot boxes to an extreme and thus tarnishing the good reputation of Star Wars.
In 2019 and 2020, Battlefront 2 transformed from the number one object of hate into a real feel-good story: A game that started weak but ultimately became good.
Fans believe: EA Dice is only making Battlefield, no Battlefront anymore
This is how fans are now reacting to Brännvall’s departure: On reddit, they are discussing Brännvall’s departure:
In the general forum, it is said somewhat cynically: Brännvall was the guy who had to take the “flak for EA”. He was rolled out by PR whenever things were getting bad with Battlefront. He did well.
For fans of Battlefront, Brännvall was someone they rooted for. It is great to see how far the game and he have come. In the Battlefront subreddit, they are thanking Brännvall (via reddit).
On reddit, they believe that Brännvall’s departure signals that EA is not planning a Star Wars Battlefront 3 anytime soon.
They believe Brännvall will likely seek a new project rather than contribute to another franchise. There is currently no word on a Star Wars Battlefront 3.
Battlefield vs. Battlefront – Battle in Stockholm seems to decide
This is what makes EA Dice special: The studio in Stockholm, Sweden, has about 350 employees, but developed two major franchises in recent years that compete for attention because they operate in the same genre:
the military shooter Battlefield (2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018)
and the Star Wars shooter Battlefront (2015, 2017)
Brännvall’s departure is now interpreted as a sign that they are fully dedicating themselves to Battlefield.
Anyone who reads EA’s business reports carefully will notice that EA’s hearts have been particularly loud for Apex Legends since 2019: The free-to-play shooter appears to have been chosen by EA as “THE Shooter” that they want to grow significantly.
According to EA, Apex Legends is to come to mobile and conquer Asia.
Battlefront was a feel-good story for fans, but probably not for EA. They still remember the shitstorm well. EA Dice seems to be focusing its efforts on Battlefield 6. In the past, they noticed that there was a lot of potential for bringing the fans’ anger down:
Today, on November 11, 2020, the pre-event for the upcoming expansion Shadowlands in World of Warcraft has started. It offers some content and rewards – including a rare mount that you can only obtain once daily.
What kind of mount is this? The blue proto-drake has been in the game since Wrath of the Lich King – that is, for more than twelve years. To this day, it remains one of the most popular mounts in the game.
The reason for this is likely that it is quite difficult to obtain. Or rather: It is damn rare. Because actually, you just need to complete the dungeon Utgarde Keep and defeat the third boss “Skadi the Ruthless” there.
The blue proto-drake is a coveted mount.
The chance of the dragon is so low that many players try in vain for months or even years to obtain it. This is partly because each character can only attempt it once daily, after which an ID is assigned to the dungeon.
With the current pre-event for the new expansion Shadowlands, there is another chance for everyone who still wants the dragon.
Pre-event grants double chance for dragon mount
So you have another chance: Right now, you can participate in the pre-event in Icecrown. In regular intervals, rare enemies will spawn, which you will see on the map as purple skulls.
These “rare mobs” are bosses from different dungeons in WotLK – including Utgarde Keep. Skadi is one of these rare foes and has the same loot as he does in the dungeon, just at a higher level.
Among them is also the blue proto-drake. So if you see Skadi, you can kill him and thus have a second chance at the rare mount.
Here’s the catch: The respawn timer of the enemies is about 6 hours and 40 minutes. So you might have to wait quite a while before you can kill Skadi with some bad luck. Additionally, many players are waiting for the bosses, and they will likely be dead within seconds.
Players are not yet sure whether the bosses can be looted multiple times a day. So with some bad luck, even with the event, you only have a second chance at the mount, but not multiple chances a day. As a rule of thumb: If the skull is on the minimap, you will probably get loot.
What else does the event offer? The blue proto-drake is not the only reward of the event. Each of the bosses has their loot, which can be quite useful. Additionally, there are rewards from the event itself. In our guide on MeinMMO, we show you which loot from the pre-event you should obtain.
In addition to the event and the bosses in Icecrown, the event also takes place in the Eastern Plaguelands. There you will encounter Nathanos Blightcaller, Sylvanas’ servant, who was already there in Classic. If you want to spoil yourself, you can already watch the cinematic about Nathanos’ fate here.

In Pokémon GO today, on November 11th, the raid hour with Lugia starts. We will show you the best counters and everything you need to know about the event.
What happens during a raid hour? An event of this type takes place every Wednesday evening in Pokémon GO. For one hour, the number of legendary raids in the game is significantly increased. You will find a level 5 raid at almost every gym.
This week, the event revolves around Lugia, the Psychic and Flying type Pokémon. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about the event and the counters to the raid boss.
All information about the raid hour with Lugia
When does it start? The event starts at the usual time at 6:00 PM local time. However, the eggs for the level 5 raids will appear a few minutes before this kick-off, so they hatch right at 6:00 PM.
What attack does it have? Lugia will remain in Pokémon GO until November 16th at 10:00 PM. If you catch it during this time, it will learn the special attack Air Slash.
Is there Shiny Lugia? Yes, the shiny version is already active in the game, and you also have the chance to catch it today during the raid hour.
This is what Shiny Lugia looks like in the game
The best counters against Lugia
To be well prepared for the event, you should put together a team beforehand. This way, the waiting time in the lobby won’t be too short.
Keep in mind that Lugia is particularly vulnerable to attacks of the Electric, Dark, Ice, Ghost, and Rock types because of its types. This creates a wide range of attackers that you can use to counter it in the raid.
Will you participate in the raid hour with Lugia today or will you skip the event? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and tell us the reason for your decision.
