Genshin Impact: How to get dandelion seeds to improve a character

The dandelion seeds (engl. Dandelion Seeds) are an important material in Genshin Impact to help a certain character ascend, use alchemy, and complete quests. Dandelions are easy to find, but collecting them can be more difficult. We at MeinMMO will tell you what you need to know about the material.

Here you can find dandelion: Dandelion is a regional specialty of Mondstadt. However, you can find it in many places in the region. So finding dandelion won’t pose a big challenge.

Collecting, on the other hand, is a bit more difficult. Dandelion is a special plant because when you have found it, there is no command to collect it on the screen.

You first need to use an Anemo skill on the dandelion to blow the plant away. We reveal more about the elements and their association with the characters here. After that, you can collect the released dandelion seeds.

Dandelion on the map: We have put together a map with some spots for collecting dandelion:

The red circles mark the positions of dandelions.

Dandelion Seeds for Characters, Crafting, and Quests

What do you need dandelion seeds for? The seeds of the plant have various applications in the game:

  • The character Jean needs the dandelion seeds to ascend.
  • In alchemy, you need the seeds for potions and gadgets related to the Anemo element.
  • Dandelion seeds belong to a world quest with Flora in Mondstadt.
  • They can be required for daily tasks.
  • They count towards the weekly task of collecting 100 Mondstadt specialties.

As you can see, dandelion seeds have a wide range of tasks in the game.

With Patch 1.1, a new material was also introduced: the Enriched Resin. You can create it through alchemy, and it brings some benefits. We at MeinMMO will tell you everything important about it here:

WoW: “Strange Rune Stones” – This is how you complete the damned quest

The quest “Strange Scourgestones” poses some WoW players with problems. We explain what the Black Scourgestones are all about.

The pre-event for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is currently starting. The first set of quests is available and presents some players with challenges. Upon arriving in Icecrown, there is the mission “Strange Scourgestones”, which does not have a clearly defined objective. We explain how to complete the quest and what you need to pay attention to.

How does the quest work? The quest “Strange Scourgestones” in Icecrown wants you to collect “Black Scourgestones” and “Darkened Scourgestones”. You can obtain these from pretty much all enemies in Icecrown that belong to the undead.

  • Darkened Scourgestones can be dropped by all servants of the Scourge in Icecrown. You can simply farm them by continuously killing enemies.
  • Black Scourgestones are rarer, dropping in large quantities from various rare mobs. Individual ones sometimes drop from regular enemies.
WoW Zombie Event Human Mage Cower title
Simply farm the undead – they will drop enough Scourgestones for “Strange Scourgestones” sooner or later.

This is how quest progression works: The quest Strange Scourgestones works a bit differently than quests in WoW usually do. The quest does not require you to collect a specific number of stones, but has a progress bar. If this progress bar is not displayed, interface addons may be to blame. But relogging can also help in displaying the progress bar.

The progress of the quest is also rather untypical. You fill the 100 % this way:

  • Every time you loot Darkened Scourgestones, progress increases by 10 %.
  • Black Scourgestones increase progress by 20 %.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands – Gewinnspiel
von MeinMMO

It is important that the amount of looted Scourgestones does not matter! For example, if you loot 30 Black Scourgestones at once from a rare enemy, it only counts as “looted once” for the quest – the bar would only fill by 20%. Thus, you need to gather the Scourgestones in multiple looting actions.

Also important: Scourgestones collected before accepting the quest do not count towards the progress. Only Scourgestones that go into the inventory after accepting the quest are counted.

What does the quest bring? The quest Strange Scourgestones rewards you with 5 Argentum commendations every day. You can exchange these for various rewards directly next to the quest giver. These include special pets, an enchanted broom, or a nice armor set, which is especially worthwhile for second characters or transmog collectors.

Are you enjoying the pre-event and have you completed all the quests? Or are you still uncertain if you should get WoW: Shadowlands?

7 Gaming monitors to make the most of PS5 and Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X and the PS5 support 4K, as well as 120 Hz at lower resolutions. However, to fully enjoy this, you need a suitable monitor. What you need to consider when purchasing and which screens are suitable, MeinMMO presents here.

The new next-gen consoles offer significantly more performance than the previous consoles, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. This means you can play not only at much higher resolutions, but also enjoy significantly higher frame rates.

For gamers, a high refresh rate is especially important. Higher refresh rates make games run smoother. Latency also decreases, giving gamers a significant advantage especially in competitive gaming.

First, we will explain what you need to consider when buying a monitor or TV. If you are not interested in the explanations, you can go directly to the featured monitors.

What You Need to Consider When Buying a Monitor

Gaming Monitors and HDMI 2.1: Many gaming monitors (still) do not support HDMI 2.1. However, many manufacturers such as Acer, Asus, and Samsung have already announced devices that will also offer HDMI 2.1 starting in 2021.

What Does HDMI 2.1 Offer? HDMI 2.1 mainly offers significantly higher data rates and various functions that are interesting for gamers. These include higher, variable frame rates and low latency, which are important for gamers.

What HDMI 2.1 means for next-gen consoles has been explained extensively here:

More on the topic
PS5 relies on HDMI 2.1 – What you need to pay attention to
von Benedikt Schlotmann

HDMI 2.0 and Gaming: With HDMI 2.0, you can play at 120 Hz even at 1440p, but only 60 Hz is available for 4K. Many modern titles like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will not offer 120 Hz at 4K at launch anyway.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla currently supports only 60 FPS at 4K resolution on the Xbox Series X and upscaled 4K with 60 FPS on the PS5 (via 4players.de). Watch Dogs: Legion will also run only at 60 FPS at 4K on the next-gen consoles (via wccftech.com). The MMO shooter Destiny 2 also offers only 60 FPS in 4K.

What is DisplayHDR? DisplayHDR is a certification that indicates how high the brightness of the screen is. This seal is intended to show buyers that the respective device can also display HDR content. Currently, there are three levels: DisplayHDR 400, DisplayHDR 600, and DisplayHDR 1000.

What is VRR? Variable Refresh Rate or VRR is a function provided by HDMI 2.1 and is also offered by FreeSync and G-Sync. This allows the console to adjust its refresh rate between 30 Hz and 144 Hz freely, thus avoiding disturbances known as screen tearing. Screen tearing occurs when the device’s signal does not match the output device’s frequency, resulting in “tearing of the image.”

Buying a Gaming Monitor for Xbox or PS5 with 4K: If you want to buy a gaming monitor, you have three options:

  • You can either wait for gaming monitors that support HDMI 2.1, which will take until 2021.
  • Or you buy a 4K monitor that at least supports HDMI 2.0, so you can either play natively at 4K with 60 FPS or at lower resolutions with correspondingly higher FPS. With HDMI 2.0 you can also enjoy games at 1440p with high frame rates up to 120 Hz.
  • Alternatively, you can go directly for a TV set, where some devices already support the latest standard.

Recommended 4K Gaming Monitors for PS5 / Xbox Series X

What Are We Presenting? Below, we will present several gaming monitors that support 4K and at least HDMI 2.0. This way, you can play at high settings and at least in Full HD and WQHD with 120 Hz.

As soon as the first gaming monitors with HDMI 2.1 are released, we will update our article for you.

Asus ROG Strix XG438Q (43 inches)

Asus ROG Strix Gaming Monitor 43 inches

What the Monitor Offers: The ROG Strix XG438Q is a 43-inch device that offers 4K and 120 Hz. FreeSync is responsible for synchronizing the frame rate. However, the screen only offers HDMI 2.0. If you are playing at lower resolutions than 4K, you can still use 120 Hz here.

The gaming monitor offers a lot of features that you need as a gamer. These include FreeSync, which avoids image disturbance, ShadowBoost, which allows you to brighten individual areas of the image to see opponents, or GameFast, which aims to minimize latency. The picture quality is also successful. The illumination is somewhat weak.

PCMag states in its conclusion: “If a TV or a Nvidia ‘Big Format Gaming Display’ is too large for your games, but a normal monitor is too small, then the 43-inch Asus ROG Strix XG438Q is a desirable alternative for serious gamers. It is not cheap, but its panel is agile and striking.”

LG 27UK650-W (27 inches)

LG 4K Monitor

What the Monitor Offers: The device offers you high contrasts and an RGB color space with HDR 10. Additionally, it has a fast response time that is interesting for gamers.

The monitor only offers “60 Hz”, but for those who play continuously at 4K, 60 Hz should be sufficient. Because maintaining a stable frame rate at 4K is also a feat.

The screen supports FreeSync, but is also G-Sync compatible. Therefore, if you are using a Nvidia graphics card (GTX 10 series or newer), you can also use the monitor. According to Rtings.com, however, the HDR performance is only mediocre. Testers give the device a gaming score of 7.8/10.

Recommended WQHD Monitors for Xbox Series X|S

The Xbox Series X|S supports WQHD resolutions, unlike the PlayStation 5. MeinMMO presents to you the ASUS TUF VG27AQ, the Samsung Odyssey G7, and the LG 32GK650F-B.

All the devices presented offer you a WQHD resolution, a fast refresh rate of at least 120 Hz, good response times and additional benefits such as support for FreeSync or G-Sync.

ASUS TUF VG27AQ

Asus TUF Gaming Monitor

What the Monitor Offers: The Asus monitor offers you a low response time (1ms), good viewing angles, and a pleasant size. According to Techspot, it is a “good monitor with some excellent features and other capabilities.” This includes Asus’s proprietary Extreme-Low-Motion-Blur-Sync technology (ELMB-Sync), which offers you particularly fast response times.

The downside is that the brightness of the screen cannot be set particularly high and deep black does not look good on the device.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Samsung Odyssey G7

Samsung Odyssey G7 Monitor

What the Monitor Offers: The Samsung Odyssey G7 is considered by Rtings.com as one of the best gaming monitors for Xbox Series X at a resolution of 1440p.

This is not only due to its size of 32 inches but also to its fast refresh rate of 240 Hz. The picture quality is also high and offers a pleasant contrast. The device provides strong gaming performance with low response time (1ms) and supports both G-Sync and FreeSync.

According to Rtings.com, the HDR performance and viewing angles of the device are less convincing when viewed at an angle.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

LG 32GK650F-B (31.5 inches)

LG QHD Monitor

What the Monitor Offers: The LG 32GK650F-B is a gaming monitor that offers a VA panel with deep black colors. It delivers strong performance especially in dark rooms and is well protected against reflections. Additionally, the monitor supports FreeSync, which offers VRR.

According to Techspot, it concludes that “For the price, LG does not present any glaring errors and offers the best value for 1440p gaming. The 32GK650F is easy to recommend.”

The downside is the poor viewing angles of the screen. Depending on how you look at the display, the image may appear slightly worse.

Best 4K TV for PS5 and Xbox Series X: LG CX OLED

LG OLED TV

What the TV Device Offers: The CX OLED series from LG offers extensive features and excellent picture quality – whether you want to play games or watch movies on the TV. Light reflections that hit the screen are hardly noticeable.

Thanks to FreeSync and G-Sync support and a 120 Hz refresh rate, gamers also get a smooth and responsive image. The testers from Rtings.com give the TV a very good rating for movies (9.3/10) and gaming (9.1/10).

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Alternative: Best LED 4K TV with HDMI 2.1: Samsung Q80T

What the TV Device Offers: Similar to the LG CX, the Samsung TV device also offers excellent contrasts and HDR colors. The 120 Hz refresh rate and support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is something gamers will especially appreciate. This allows your console to control the refresh rate in conjunction with the monitor, which benefits a smoother image.

The device also supports HDMI 2.1. Some testers criticize that the device looks quite dark at the edges.

The Samsung Q80T also offers a good price-performance ratio starting at 1,250 Euros.

Gaming Monitors 2021: What the Future Offers

Some manufacturers are currently preparing gaming monitors for 4K resolutions. These include, among others:

  • Philips Momentum 328M1R: The monitor is expected to come in early 2021 and offers DisplayHDR 600 (brightness), an integrated sound system, and a response time of 4 ms. It also features HDMI 2.1 and FreeSync support.
  • Acer Predator XB323QK: The monitor is expected to be available in late 2020/early 2021 and should offer “RGB LightSense” dynamic lighting effects. In addition, the device offers G-Sync, multiple HDMI ports, a USB-C port, and a USB 3.0 hub.
  • Viewsonic Elite XG320U: The monitor offers 32 inches with 144 Hz and is certified with DisplayHDR 600. It also supports FreeSync. Furthermore, the device features HDMI 2.1. The Elite XG230U is expected to start in early 2021 at a price of around 1,000 Euros.
  • Acer XV282K: Acer has announced a monitor that offers HDMI 2.1, 144 Hz, and 4K resolution. The IPS panel offers DisplayHDR 600 and built-in speakers. The monitor is officially available from January 2021. Additionally, the device supports a variable refresh rate (VRR) from 48 to 144 Hz.
  • ASUS ROG “HDMI-2.1 Monitors”: Asus also presented new gaming monitors with HDMI 2.1 certification at the end of August. These should offer HDMI 2.1, provide 4K at up to 120 Hz, and also become available at the end of 2020 or early 2021.

This means that in the future there will be several new and powerful devices on the market that can also handle the corresponding resolutions.

Player finally gets his Xbox Series X - But the package says: "PlayStation is better"

In recent days, many fans have been waiting for the delivery of their “Xbox Series X” consoles. One of them received a note from the delivery driver along with the package, which absolutely no one asked for.

What happened? On November 10th, it finally happened. The release of the first next-gen console Xbox Series X had come. Many gamers around the world headed to the stores to pick up their pre-orders or eagerly awaited the delivery truck to finally show up with their loot. Due to the currently raging corona pandemic, many customers prefer to have their console delivered.

Even reddit user smash1031 waited for his Xbox Series X delivery, which was supposed to be made by the delivery service FedEx. But when the package arrived, he found that the driver had left his opinion on it unasked.

On the delivery note, it said “PlayStation is better”. Obviously, the driver was a PS5 fan and wanted to let his customer know.

How are other players reacting? The image of the FedEx package has also made its way onto reddit and social media. In the Xbox Series X subreddit, the thread has received 2323 upvotes and 278 comments (as of November 12, 2020, 11:00 AM).

While some responded to the message with “UPS is better than FedEx” to take a small jab at the delivery service, others took it in stride. Reddit user gated73 wrote:

I never get FedEx people with a sense of humor.

Other users shared their own experiences with the FedEx delivery service. The drivers wished them a lot of fun and a “Happy Xbox Day” upon delivering their consoles.

The recipient himself also did not take the message too seriously. In the thread, he wrote:

[…] I have no problem with him leaving his opinion. He is obviously a gamer who just likes Sony more and decided to have some fun. I found it funny and wanted to share it with you. Have fun with your consoles, guys.

On November 19, 2020, Bethesda will release a background video about the Steel Brotherhood. The video will be released one and a half weeks before the release of the last major Fallout 76 update of 2020 “Steel Dawn”.

Preparing for the Steel Brotherhood

  • Brotherhood Scouting Tower
  • Barrier with BoS logo and warning lights
  • Barracks locker for clothing worn under power armor

In addition to new items for your locker, there are also emotes and other items. What those will be can be seen in our gallery:

What to expect next: In addition to the Steel Brotherhood, the update will introduce instanced C.A.M.P. shelters, your own vaults. Three accommodations will be available, allowing life underground:

  • Vault Supply Room: Available for free for all

The plasma weapon is a one-handed melee weapon, and players above level 50 can unlock the blueprint through quests within the daily operations. The drop chance depends on how quickly you complete the mission.

  • Initiate: under 16 minutes – 0.22% drop chance
  • Paladin: under 12 minutes – 0.44% drop chance
  • Elder: under 8 minutes – 3.56% drop chance
Visible in the approach: The “Plasma Cutter” is a melee weapon and available from level 50.

Bethesda celebrates 2 years of Fallout 76

How is the birthday celebrated? On November 14, 2018, Fallout 76 officially launched. The then B.E.T.A and the release caused strong criticism of the game and Bethesda.

There is a hefty 25% discount on her secret selection of legendary 3-star weapons and armor. Murmrgh has set up her shop in the Rusty Pick.

Starting November 24, players can expect another event “Treasure Seeker Hunt”, where players of all levels will have plenty of rewards.

What players can expect in December: During the Christmas season, there will also be celebrations in Fallout 76. With the “Steel Dawn” update on December 1, the double S.C.O.R.E points week begins.

Destiny 2: Get the new exotic Grip of Salvation – Everything about the quest “Stasis Prototype”

In Destiny 2, you should quickly obtain the exotic weapon “Grasp of Salvation”. Because it is a requirement for many tasks that await you on Europa in Beyond Light.

This is the exotic in question: The exotic grenade launcher Grasp of Salvation (eng. Grasp of Salvation) has been newly introduced in Destiny 2: Beyond Light. It is a weapon with the new Stasis element and special attributes.

MeinMMO provides you with a detailed guide on how to unlock Grasp of Salvation and what you need to consider for the associated quest “The Stasis Prototype”. Because the new exotic is an important part of your arsenal.

Here’s why the weapon is so important: Once you have completed the story of Beyond Light, the journey is far from over. Now you need to improve your new Stasis abilities and clear the DLC location Europa. For both, you need the exotic Grasp of Salvation.

Grasp of Salvation Salvation Destiny 2 Beyond Light stasis

So if you are looking for the Entropic Shards on Europa and want to master the quest “Aspect of Control” at the Exo Stranger, you’ll need the new Stasis launcher.

Master the quest “The Stasis Prototype” in Destiny 2 Beyond Light

Are there any special requirements? Yes, to obtain the new exotic and to find the quest “The Stasis Protocol”, you must first complete the story of Beyond Light. This can only be done by owners of the new expansion.

So play through the campaign on Europa until you need to visit Zavala in the Tower. Once you fly into orbit, the post-story begins and various NPCs will present themselves wanting something from you.

This is how you start the quest: Visit the Drifter in the Tower. You’ll find him in the “Gambling” area which even has its own landing zone.

Important Tip: Accept the quest “Recapture Europa” from Variks in parallel because

  • the two tasks overlap
  • this will save you a lot of time

Simply complete the smaller tasks from Variks while you are in Europa and working on your exotic Stasis launcher. They are all marked by quest markers or consist of simple collection and kill tasks.

Step 1: Collect kills on Europa for the Grasp of Salvation

The Drifter will send you back to Europa. Here you need to take out certain enemies:

  • Defeat 10 Fallen Captains on Europa – these are the teleporting Fallen with a shield
  • Defeat 10 Servitors on Europa – these are the large floating orb enemies that give shields to others

Step 2: Complete “Recapture Europa”,”The Dark Priestess,” and “Fall of the Empire”

As announced, the tasks of Variks and the Drifter now overlap. To continue your Exo quest, you must first assist in the Recapture of Europa. Complete the three above-mentioned missions.

Then your quest “Stasis Prototype” will finally proceed. Here you need to defeat Stasis-infected enemies. This means for you:

  • Defeat enemies directly with Stasis or freeze them and finish them off
  • Tip: The task does not have to be completed on Europa. For quick progress, visit the Blind Well in the Dreaming City or participate in public events – take the flag there at the start to fill all abilities

Step 3: Obtain Skiff Codes

Now you need to locate a specific Lost Sector on Europa.

  • Enter the Lost Sector “Hidden Void” in the northern area “Asterion Abyss” of Europa – the entrance is underground
  • The area hosts some high-level enemies, so be careful.
  • Defeat the sector boss normally and open the loot chest – then the force field behind it opens and you will find a captive NPC
  • The NPC “Spider’s Ally” will then hand you the needed Skiff Codes
Europa Sector Void Destiny 2 Beyond Light
At the yellow arrow, you will find the underground Lost Sector “Hidden Void”

Step 5 – Complete the mission “Stasis Theft” on Europa

Now visit the Drifter in the Tower. He has the mission “Stasis Theft” for you. Don’t worry, you will master the quest soon.

  • At Variks on Europa in the area “Charon’s Crossing,” you will find the mission – it is marked with a quest marker
  • You will find yourself in a Fallen stronghold – so do what Guardians do and smash everything
  • Still in the mission, you will receive your new exotic “Grasp of Salvation”
  • Equip the new power weapon – there’s enough ammo supply in the area to win the final battle

Visit the Drifter one last time in the Tower to fully complete the quest and earn a triumph along with your new exotic.

Here’s a video from Venero TV showing the quest in action:

Grasp of Salvation – What can the Stasis Exotic do?

The reward for your efforts: “Grasp of Salvation” is a heavy grenade launcher and therefore requires power ammo. The exotic fires at a rate of 120, slower than its exotic cousin Anarchy, but has a better magazine size of 8.

What’s special about Grasp of Salvation is that it possesses the new Stasis element. Additionally, it has the following two exotic perks:

  • Cryo Cannon: The projectiles of these weapons create Stasis crystals and freeze nearby targets. You can hold down the trigger to charge the weapon
  • Flash Freeze: Charging this weapon increases the freeze radius and the number of Stasis crystals created.
Exotic Ice Launcher Beyond Light Weapon Destiny 2
Grasp of Salvation is your Stasis Super in pocket format

You do not fire regular explosives, but have the new Stasis super equipped in the power weapon slot. You also need the weapon to destroy some quest items on Europa.

Was our guide helpful or have you gotten the new Stasis exotic already and formed your first impressions? Let us know in the comments what you think of Grasp of Salvation.

If you missed exotics from previous seasons, they are not lost. Because in Destiny 2: Beyond Light, you can simply purchase the best weapons from back then at the kiosk

Copyright penalties for streamers – Twitch admits: “This is on us”

More and more streamers are being banned on Twitch. The reason is copyright allegations from the music industry. Now, there has been a statement from Twitch regarding this, in which the streaming service admits some serious oversights.

What is the situation? Currently, streamers are being banned due to copyright complaints from the music industry. The reason is usually music playing in the background of the stream for which the streamer does not have rights. Twitch is then contacted by the rights holders and has to deal with bans against the violations.

Several well-known streamers, including Voyboy or Papaplatte, have been banned for such reasons.

To avoid penalties, many streamers have had to delete their entire library of clips. This equates to the destruction of a life’s work. However, even such measures were sometimes not enough, as bans were still issued for already deleted clips.

All these issues have led to great dissatisfaction among streamers, and there is anger towards Twitch, as this tweet summarizes well:

Link to the Twitter content

It is insane that Twitch informs partners that they have deleted their content – and that there are more pieces of content that violate the guidelines, even though there is NO identification system to find out what it is. Their solution to the DMCA issue is for creators to delete their life’s work. This is pure gross negligence.

Specifically, many streamers complain that they received only vague emails that did not clarify which clips and music pieces were actually involved. For a long time, they were left in the dark and often did not know why they suddenly received warnings or were even banned.

Now, there has finally been an official statement from Twitch in which the company admits some serious mistakes.

Twitch was taken by surprise

This is what Twitch says: In a lengthy blog post, Twitch explains the situation and admits what they could have done better:

We have heard your feedback about how frustratingly little information we have provided, and we should have made this warning email much more informative and helpful.

In recent months, we have done our best to address this situation on behalf of both the rights holders and the creators. One of the mistakes we made was that we did not develop adequate tools that would allow creators to manage their own VOD and clip libraries. You are rightly upset that the only option we provided was a tool for mass deletion of clips, and that we only notified you three days in advance that you could use this tool.

We could have developed more sophisticated, user-friendly tools quite some time ago. The fact that we did not is our fault; that is on us. And we could have given creators a longer period to adjust their VOD and clip libraries – that too was a failure. We sincerely apologize for these mistakes, and we will do better.

This is supposed to improve: Currently, Twitch is working intensively on methods and opportunities to avoid such situations in the future.

  • Finer methods to find and delete clips with copyright content, rather than just simply “delete everything“.
  • Control over which audio data from your live stream can ultimately be found in the saved clip.
  • Direct insight into the copyright complaint for streamers, including info on what exactly it is about, who is complaining, and why. This way, streamers can justify themselves directly and possibly resolve the situation themselves.

What should streamers do now? Until all these measures are implemented, it will still take a while. Therefore, Twitch currently advises the following measures to avoid further trouble and bans:

  • Currently, it is best not to use any music in streams unless you own the rights to it.
  • If you want to play music, use services that hold the copyrights, including Soundtrack by Twitch or music libraries such as Soundstripe, Monstercat Gold, Chillhop, Epidemic Sound, and NCS.

How is this received by streamers? Streamers are not happy about the situation and that Twitch seemingly took the problem lightly in the past and still has no tangible solutions months after the first statement on the issue in June. The fact that streamers had to delete their works and are now given the advice “just don’t stream music” annoys many.

I just don’t understand why the site has to almost explode for you to be motivated to communicate with us and to say that you MUST develop tools soon. Lately, I worry less about whether I will still be here in the future, and more about whether Twitch will still be here in the future.

This is also not the first time you have waited for the pot to boil over. You cannot simply ignore, minimize, and sweep these problems under the rug and hope they will go away.

Too much damage has been done for you to simply talk your way out of it.

The current bans due to copyright violations do not only concern music rights. In a particularly bizarre case, it involves the virtual streamer “Project Melody”. She uses a virtual avatar for which she allegedly does not have the rights. Therefore, the alleged creator claims “your body belongs to me!

Pokémon GO has secretly improved the Rocket Balloons – But not for everyone

Players have been calling for an update for the Rocket Balloons in Pokémon GO for a long time. So far, there have been no items as rewards, unlike battles at PokéStops. But for some selected trainers, this seems to have changed.

What’s going on with the balloons? The user BufoAmoris created a reddit thread where they report additional rewards for defeating a Rocket Grunt.

The Rocket Balloon they challenged provided the trainer with 15 Pokéballs as an additional reward.

The Rocket Balloons were introduced with an update in July 2020. They fly through the world and when you click on them, you fight against a Rocket Grunt or one of the bosses.

Does everyone get the new reward? The Pokéballs for defeating a Rocket Balloon seem to be available only for selected players. In the thread, many players report not receiving any additional rewards.

The region does not seem to play a role. BufoAmoris is from the USA and another player who received Pokéballs is from the Australian time zone.

On the other hand, players from the USA, Canada, and Australia also reported not receiving the additional reward.

Rocket Balloons could become mobile PokéStops

Why is this so interesting? Trainers have been wishing for the Rocket Balloons to function as a kind of mobile PokéStop for a long time. So far, the random battles against Grunts or bosses have not been worthwhile for many.

At least the issue with the missing item rewards seems to be addressed now.

What are the initial reactions? The reddit user jedispyder is happy about the additional balls and especially about their large number:

That corresponds to spinning 5 stops (since I only seem to get 3 balls per normal stop). That’s pretty good news.

Many other users on reddit view the adjustment positively. However, there are also a few players who actually have too many balls and are discarding them.

Pokemon GO Rocket Balloon
This is what the balloons look like in the game. By clicking on them, you can then battle them.

Balloons as mobile PokéStops? While many are excited about the new rewards, the user erto66 is a bit more reserved. For him, it would be important that the balloons not only provide rewards but also count for daily spins:

I think players who want them to function like one-time PokéStops are also hoping for daily spins. Of course, we could all use more items, especially Pokéballs.

But there are people who cannot go outside at the moment, and that means they have no chance to spin 7 stops in a row. An important game mechanic for obtaining evolution items, for example.

Whether the balloons will actually be changed to function as PokéStops remains open for now.

In addition to the adjustments to the balloons, Niantic is currently also working on experience points. The new system primarily brings more XP for great throws:

The MMORPG Albion Online bans over 600 players

In the MMORPG Albion Online, 604 players were banned. These players had purchased the in-game currency Silver from third parties.

What led to this ban? The developers explain that they had to ban 604 accounts of the currently very successful MMORPG Albion Online because these accounts had purchased in-game currency Silver from third parties. This is prohibited according to the terms of use.

In most cases, these purchases were said to have been made using stolen credit card information. The developers discovered this because the payments did not go through, and the studio was then hit with refund requests.

It is actually not necessary to buy Silver, as this video shows:

Link to the YouTube content
There are other ways to legally obtain Silver. In this video, you will find 10 tips.

Did the right ones get caught?

What is the problem with purchasing Silver? According to the developers, buying in-game currency from third parties harms the studio. After all, the studio also sells Gold as premium currency, which you can then exchange for Silver in the game. This way, the studio earns revenue from those sales. This revenue is then used to further develop the MMORPG Albion Online.

Additionally, the studio wants to protect the in-game economy. This can only be done if an overview of the Silver sales is available.

How are players reacting to this? Generally, the community welcomes the actions taken against individuals who violate the terms of use. After all, fairness must be maintained.

In the case of these bans, however, there are now calls in the official Albion Online forum for the publication of the players’ names. There is a specific reason for this. Some in the community believe that those who bought Silver from third parties are alternative accounts. If these are banned, it does not really affect the “main players” who continue to play with their regular accounts.

Moreover, some are also somewhat annoyed that the biggest RMT players, i.e., the real-money traders, are still roaming the game unhindered. There is a sentiment that harsher measures need to be taken to also ban the “real” offenders.

What is the use of Silver anyway? Silver is the currency in the game that you can use to buy items on the marketplace, for example.

Albion Online is also among the 5 best MMORPGs for those who are not into classic games like WoW.

Destiny 2: Unknown Exotic Discovered – Reminds of Cult Weapon Gjallarhorn

In the data from Destiny 2, observant fans discovered a new, completely unknown weapon exotic after the launch of Beyond Light. Some see parallels to an iconic weapon from Destiny 1, the rocket launcher Gjallarhorn.

Where does the information come from? A few days ago, Destiny 2 launched with the new expansion Beyond Light and the new Season 12 into its now 4th year. With that, various new content has been introduced to the game – including new exotics.

Bungie likely already showcased most of the exotic novelties in the exotic trailer. However, after the new content went live with Update 3.0.0.1, an exotic weapon was discovered in the databases of Destiny 2 that had not been seen in any trailers or promotional material.

A mix of Gjallarhorn and Wardcliff Coil

This is the new Exotic: It is a rocket launcher, thus a power weapon. It is called “Eyes of Tomorrow” and comes in a futuristic look that fits well with all the high-tech facilities of Clovis Bray on the new location Europa.

This new weapon can do: The exotic perk is called “Everything in Sight”. With this, the rocket launcher can track and fire at multiple targets simultaneously.

This is complemented by another special perk – namely “Adaptive Munitions”. When you eliminate 4 or more combatants with a single salvo, the damage of the next salvo increases.

Furthermore, data already indicates that this new exotic will receive a masterwork catalyst. However, what this actually does is currently unknown.

This is what players are saying about this weapon: Many are curious and skeptical at the same time. On one hand, this weapon reminds some of the infamous Gjallarhorn from Destiny 1, which unleashed a whole salvo of its homing Wolfpack rockets after impact.

destiny-gjallarhorn
The Gjallarhorn from Destiny 1

As Bungie does not intend to bring back the Gjallarhorn, they think that in this way, they could at least get a comparable, nostalgia-infused weapon.

For many, the new exotic shows strong similarities to the Wardcliff Coil – also an exotic rocket launcher. The coil also fires volleys of rockets with light homing capabilities.

Many players see “Eyes of Tomorrow” as a mix of Gjallarhorn and the coil – practically their baby. For some, there’s even a slight touch of Truth – also an exotic rocket launcher with distinctive, aggressive homing. Some are already hooked on this mix and are very curious about how the weapon will ultimately perform in practice.

The Wardcliff Coil

On the other hand, some are skeptical whether Bungie is really producing a strong weapon here. Some fear, for example, that the damage of individual projectiles may be low, so that the weapon will not be as overpowered as the Gjallarhorn once was – especially against single targets.

Is this the reward from the new raid?

This supports the theory: The prevailing opinion is that this weapon will be the raid exotic from the new raid in the Deep Stone Crypt.

The rocket launcher is not visibly tied to a quest; all “regular” exotics have likely been introduced by Bungie by now. The exotic weapon from the season pass has already been released as the shotgun Duality, and the iconic hand cannon Hawkmoon will be brought into the game through a quest during Season 12. There are not many more options than the raid.

Furthermore, this weapon is connected to Clovis Bray and the BrayTech company, which is now focused on the new expansion and has an important base on Europa. The Deep Stone Crypt appears to be a secret research facility of BrayTech. Therefore, there are indications that “Eyes of Tomorrow” could indeed be the exotic reward from the new raid.

Speaking of the raid. It starts on November 21, and the recommended power level is 1,230. So, if you want to level up considerably by then, check out this article: Players wait a year for Destiny 2 Beyond Light, reach level cap in an hour

Fortnite: All Tasks of Week 12 in Season 4 and how to solve them

The challenges of week 12 in Season 4 (Chapter 2 Season 4) in Fortnite have been leaked. We show you which challenges are likely coming your way and how you can solve them.

What kind of leak is this? Weekly, Fortnite presents its players with new tasks in a Season. This allows them to level up their Battle Pass, which contains many different cosmetics and V-Bucks.

Update 3:10 PM: The challenges for week 12 are now here. The dataminer’s leak has been confirmed. We have summarized all the tasks for you here and provided tips on how to solve them.

Before the challenges are officially introduced this afternoon, on November 12, a leak had already circulated. This comes from dataminers who have closely examined the game data.

Tasks of Season 4 Week 12

What tasks could await you? The dataminer FireMonkey, who has reliably leaked challenges multiple times, found the challenges for week 12 (via Twitter). This is what the extravaganza challenges are likely to entail:

  • Deal damage to opponents with shotguns (3 stages)
  • Eliminate opponents with weapons of rarity: common, uncommon, and rare (7 eliminations per rarity)
  • Deal damage to opponents with choppa rotor blades (3 stages)
  • Catch fish
  • Catch fish with a professional fishing rod
  • Catch fish with an explosive weapon
  • Shoot at a gas canister thrown in the air by a teammate before it hits the ground

These are the tasks that will likely keep you busy in the near future, but keep in mind that this is just a leak and the challenges may change.

How to complete the tasks of week 12

This is what you need to do: This week, it seems we won’t have any challenges that require visiting a specific location that is hard to find. This week you should focus on getting eliminations, dealing a lot of damage, and doing a bit of fishing.

Deal damage and get eliminations: Since you are supposed to deal damage with shotguns, you can grab one in the rarities gray, green, and blue and rack up kills. This way you can complete both tasks at once and get to your goal faster.

fortnite og skins cheeky title
Team up with your squad and deal as much damage as possible

Deal damage with a helicopter: This task might be a bit harder because it’s not enough to just fly a choppa against an opponent. You will likely need to try several times and fly as low as possible near the opponents.

Catch fish in 3 different ways: This task shouldn’t be too hard, but it can take time. It’s best to find a quiet spot where you can fish and get started. There are plenty of fish in Season 4, as they were secretly introduced:

More on the topic
Fortnite: 4 secret things from Season 4 that you probably don’t know yet
von Eilyn Rapp

Catching fish with explosive weapons works best if you drive to the fishing spots with a motorboat and shoot from there with the built-in rockets.

Hit gas canisters in the air: Here you should team up with a teammate to find a gas canister. Then ask your teammate to throw it in the air. After that, you need to be quick and shoot at it.

If after completing all these tasks you still need more experience points for your Battle Pass, you should complete the secret challenge of Season 4. There, the dwarves try to blow up the map and you need to stop them. The whole mission rewards you with 90,000 experience points.

The killer feature of the Xbox Series X has a problem, Microsoft is working on it

The Quick Resume feature of the Xbox Series X is a really great innovation. But unfortunately, it doesn’t always work. Microsoft wants to address the issue.

What does Quick Resume offer? With Quick Resume, you can leave a game on the Xbox Series X at any point, play another, and simply return. You continue exactly where you left off. This allows you to switch seamlessly between multiple games – as long as the feature works.

Quick Resume doesn’t always work

What is the problem? There are reports that Quick Resume apparently does not work with every game. And this is not only the case with Xbox One titles played through backward compatibility. It seems to occur with the following titles:

  • Borderlands 3
  • Destiny 2
  • Dirt 5
  • Forza Horizon 4
  • NBA 2K21
  • The Falconeer
  • Watch Dogs: Legion
  • Yakuza: Like A Dragon

What happens with these games? If you leave the game and want to return later, you won’t find yourself at the spot where you stopped but at the home screen. Then, you need to load the last save game.

Why is this annoying? Quick Resume is the “killer feature”, a function that no other console offers. Being able to pick up exactly where you left off is incredibly convenient. Therefore, it is unfortunate if this feature does not work as expected.

What does Microsoft say about this? The company has already commented on this issue. On the official website, it is already listed under the “Known Issues” of the Xbox Series X/S. It states:

Although Quick Resume is fully functional with thousands of games, we are aware that there may be issues with this feature in a select number of optimized titles. To ensure the best possible experience for our fans, we have disabled the feature for these titles and are working to remedy this as quickly as possible.

When will the fix come? Currently, there is still no date for an update. Microsoft is working on it. This means players will need to be patient for a while.

Players let their Xbox Series X smoke – Microsoft asks to stop this

Since the release of the Xbox Series X, images and videos of consoles producing heavy smoke have circulated. Some players claim that the new next-gen console is overheating. However, these appear to be fakes, linked to the standby function of the Xbox. Microsoft asks users not to do this.

Update – November 12: Microsoft has responded to the trend and the videos. They ask that such actions not be replicated.

What are these images? On Twitter, YouTube, and other social channels, there are recurring posts and reports of smoking Xbox Series X consoles. The clips show thick smoke or vapor streaming from the openings at the top of the console.

These videos often have titles or descriptions like: “The Xbox Series X is overheating and smoking on launch day”. This can be seen in the embedded video from Para Seoul:

Link to the YouTube content

In the videos, it appears as if the smoke is coming from hardware that overheats during use. In some threads on Twitter, users even create and share various memes about the smoking Xbox.

However, these are mostly fakes. Previously, a tester measured the temperature of the console and determined: The Xbox Series X is cooler than the Xbox One and PS4.

While the smoke is just fake, the problems surrounding the Xbox Series X’s drive seem to be real.

Apparent smoke is just trend vapor

What’s behind this: As some users have noted, the “smoke” from the consoles is far too dense and heavy to be from a fire. Apparently, some players are just having fun with their e-cigarettes and vaporizers.

This tobacco alternative produces thick and heavy vapor through various “liquids”. When this is exhaled into the fans of the standby Xbox, it later rises from the console’s fans.

This creates the corresponding effect. The user @mraftw on Twitter explains in a short clip exactly how this works:

https://twitter.com/mraftw/status/1326521567984148480

This is what Microsoft says about it: In a tweet from the official Xbox Twitter channel, the developers write: “We can’t believe we have to say this, but please do not blow vape smoke into your Xbox Series X.”

Apparently, the Xbox Series X is not meant to be whimsically filled with vapor.

Here’s how the release of the console really went: Since November 10, the Xbox Series X has officially launched. While some players received their console earlier, a few of them unfortunately received the wrong Xbox.

In general, the launch went relatively smoothly. There was an issue with the Xbox Live service, which was quickly resolved and did not affect all players.

The sentiment among players is also positive. In the first reviews of the Xbox Series X, users express their joy over the performance of the console and the significantly shorter load times for their favorite games.

Even the size, which was previously mocked, has surprised many players. The Xbox Series X is actually smaller than expected. MeinMMO editor Patrick Freese has one of the new consoles at home and has tested and reviewed it extensively. You can find his conclusion in our review of the Xbox Series X here on MeinMMO.

WoW: In the pre-event you can get the largest bag in the game

In the pre-event of WoW: Shadowlands, there is a huge bag for your inventory. We reveal how you can get the 34-slot bag.

The pre-event of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is currently in full swing. While there is some frustration over the long wait for the rare mobs, a few small highlights are also hidden in this enemies’ loot table. One of them is “Papa’s Like-New Bag”. You can get it from the rare enemy Bronjahm in Icecrown. The bag boasts a proud 34 slots, making it the largest in the game.

Where can you find Bronjahm? Bronjahm always appears at the same spot, namely in Icecrown at coordinates 70 / 37. An addon to display coordinates is helpful here. It is a little south of the Argent Crusade’s tournament grounds at “Sindragosa’s Fall”. However, Bronjahm is only rarely seen, so you must be present at the right times.

WoW Bronjahm Map
Here you can find Bronjahm – if he is there.

At these times you can find Bronjahm: Bronjahm is one of 20 different rare mobs of the pre-event. Since the rare enemies rotate every 20 minutes, a cycle takes a whopping 6 hours and 40 minutes. So, you have to wait almost 7 hours to try again after a Bronjahm kill. If you’ve just missed Bronjahm, it’s particularly annoying.

At what times does Bronjahm appear? For European realms, the following spawn times for Bronjahm likely apply.

Update: The times were updated Friday (12:00 PM).

  • Thursday (11/12): 05:40 AM, 12:20 PM, 06:00 PM
  • Friday (11/13): 00:40 AM, 07:20 AM, 03:00 PM, 09:40 PM
  • Saturday (11/14): 04:20 AM, 11:00 AM, 05:40 PM
  • Sunday (11/15): 00:20 AM, 07:00 AM: 01:40 PM, 08:20 PM

Note that there may be shifts and delays in the times if an error creeps in or if Blizzard changes the spawn behavior of the rare enemies. If in doubt, just ask in chat how the situation with Bronjahm is.

Papa's Like-New Bag
The chance for the drop is almost 24% – so it may take a few attempts.

Why is the bag so good? The bags available in the conventional way have 32 slots. This means that Bronjahm’s bag is 2 inventory slots larger, making it better suited for extensive adventure trips. While there is also a 34-slot bag available for purchase in the game, the baggage of the insane, it costs a staggering 500,000 Gold. This amounts to an effort of several days or weeks to earn such sums.

von MeinMMO

Does the bag always drop? No, unfortunately, it is not a guaranteed drop. There is only a chance that Bronjahm will drop it. If you don’t get lucky on your first try, just come back during one of Bronjahm’s spawn times and try again. However, the bag is also unique, so you can only use it once with each character.

Have you already received the bag? Or are you not even trying at these spawn times?

Luckily, there are several other rewards in the pre-event.

Destiny 2 disables one of its most popular Exotics – This is the reason

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:

Link to the YouTube content

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.

By the way, even though the launch of Destiny 2: Beyond Light was extremely rocky, it was also very successful.

The Xbox Series X drive has issues – What is going on?

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.

Problems diminish an otherwise good launch

How did the launch of the Xbox Series X go? On November 10, the next-gen console was released and received a positive response. In the first reviews, users are pleased with the short loading times and improved performance.

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.

MeinMMO editor Patrick Freese had no issues with his Xbox Series X. He has unboxed it for you and has already tested whether it is worth it for multiplayer fans.

FIFA 21 TOTW 7: The new Team of the Week in Ultimate Team – featuring Messi

In FIFA 21 today we continue with TOTW 7 (Team of the Week). Here you will find out which players made it into the new Team of the Week.

After leaks about the new Team of the Week had already circulated today, the team is now officially known. We show you the fresh Inform cards and how strong they are.

What is the Team of the Week? EA Sports selects the best players of a football matchday once a week, based on the real performances of the players, for a spot in the Team of the Week.

These players then receive upgraded Inform cards in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

When does TOTW 7 come out? The new special cards are now available in packs. From 7:00 PM they are in the game and will remain there for a week until they are replaced by the next Team of the Week.

If you don’t have pack luck, you can also get the cards on the transfer market or draw them in the Weekend League rewards from Player Picks.

This is the Team of the Week 7

The best cards in the new TOTW: Contrary to the fears of FIFA players, Messi is indeed represented in the current Team of the Week and with an overall rating of 94, he is by far the strongest card in TDW 7.

However, the new Inform cards from Bruno Fernandes (89), Thiago Silva (86), Lozano (85), and Sergi Roberto (85) are also very strong.

FIFA 21 TOTW 7

These Bundesliga players are involved: There are a total of four cards from the Bundesliga in the current TOTW:

  • ST: Kruse (84) – Union Berlin

LoL: A German could be the next big star in American LoL

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.

Thus, PowerOfEvil succeeds the LoL legend Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg, who played for TSM for many years and has now retired from his career. He is now taking on the role of coach for Team SoloMid.

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:

The best raids until Shadowlands: Which raid in WoW did you find super?

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.

WoW Arthas Bastion Lichking title title 1280x720
Arthas is your favorite villain in WoW – But maybe he wasn’t that evil.

Having already learned from you who the greatest villain in WoW is and which expansion you like the least, we now want to know which raid you enjoyed visiting the most or which one you simply find the most beautiful.

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.

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.
