No one likes the traveler in Genshin Impact. Even the NPCs don’t have the patience to wait for cutscenes. This results in funny moments.
In the RPG Genshin Impact, there is a plethora of enemies. Most of them are not a big threat and are just trash mobs that you can easily deal with “in passing”. This must be quite frustrating for the corresponding enemies, which is why they have come up with a new trick. They simply beat up players while they are trapped in a cutscene.
What happened? The Reddit user mastocklkaksi experienced a rather peculiar situation in Genshin Impact. During the penultimate step of the questline surrounding Xingqiu, there is a somewhat lengthy dialogue in the wilderness. Some enemies appear that need to be beaten up. However, the cutscene begins with the dialogue as soon as you approach the location.
Usually, enemies are passive and wait patiently while the dialogue takes place – not in this case. While Paimon and Xingqiu are talking, the main character suddenly gets punched in the face by some looters. Shortly thereafter, the traveler is beaten out of the picture while the conversation continues peacefully.
Slapstick comedy at its finest: As if the situation wasn’t silly enough, the camera work plays a perfect role too. Now and then, the traveler gets shoved back and forth. In the last dialogue (second 43-47), you can even see her perfectly flying through the background – Hollywood couldn’t have done it better.
At the end, you can also see how mastocklkaksi is just quickly clicking through the dialogue to finish the sequence as soon as possible.
Genshin Impact has some problems – not all of them are bugs:
At least: Ultimately, the enemies were victorious and managed to beat the female traveler to the ground. The game resumes after the traveler is defeated and Amber is up next. A rare moment of success for the enemies.
Have you also experienced such a bug in Genshin Impact?
The DualSense controller of the PlayStation 5 is already receiving a lot of praise from the first testers – especially for its features. However, the design is also impressive, even under the microscope. Upon closer inspection, a cool detail can be seen, which is supposed to provide better grip.
However, the design and attention to detail are also praised for the DualSense. Why, as shown by Reddit user Thenadamgoes, who simply grabbed a microscope attachment and took a closer look at the surface of the PS5 controller.
The DualSense controller
Grip surface made of small PlayStation symbols
This is what the detail is about: A cool design detail comes to light. Although it doesn’t necessarily require a microscope to see it, it only becomes apparent upon closer inspection. Therefore, many may have completely overlooked it until now.
The surface of the DualSense is textured – but not just with a random grain or pattern, but with the traditional PlayStation symbols triangle, cross, circle and square, which you can also find on the buttons.
Here you can see the symbols: Under the microscope, it looks spectacular:

There are two layers of symbols. The two layers are highlighted differently.
What is the point? On the one hand, the textured surface is supposed to provide more grip, meaning more hold in the players’ hands. On the other hand, some suspect that Sony wants to make it harder for counterfeits and cheap copies. Because such a texture would not really be easy to replicate.
This is now different from the first images: That the new controller has a textured surface is not really new. This was already visible in some high-resolution images in mid-June. However, back then, some thought it might possibly be a showcase device, and that the final product might look different.

While the texture apparently remains, it still differs between the first images and the current DualSense. The old pictures show that the texture was engraved, meaning it went inward, and had only one layer. The current images show that the texture of the release version now has multiple layers and extends outward from the surface.
Multiboxing in World of Warcraft is history. New rules make it almost impossible to play multiple accounts simultaneously now.
There are only a few topics in World of Warcraft that have been discussed so passionately for years, like multiboxing. The “problem” is as old as the game itself, and over the years the conflicts have grown bigger. Now Blizzard is changing its rules and putting a stop to multiboxing. Soon it will be banned in WoW and can lead to bans.
What is multiboxing? Multiboxing generally refers to playing multiple accounts at the same time. It’s not just about owning multiple accounts, but also playing them simultaneously. A player can, for example, run through the game world with three, four, five, or even more characters at once and complete tasks that would normally require a whole group of players.
Through software, it was possible to transmit keystrokes from one WoW client to multiple clients. If one of the characters wanted to pick herbs, all characters of the multiboxer would do so.
Multiboxing when farming herbs – individual players dominate the entire market for herbs.
What is changing now? In the future, the use of software that transmits input commands to multiple clients simultaneously will no longer be allowed. Anyone using such software must expect sanctions against their WoW account. Penalties range from temporary suspensions to permanent closures.
Traditional multiboxing is no longer permitted or possible. In the new expansion Shadowlands, you probably won’t encounter these multiboxers anymore.
Why is Blizzard doing this? The reasons are stated by Blizzard in an official post. It says:
Over time, World of Warcraft has undergone a significant evolution. Likewise, our policies have evolved to ensure a positive environment in the game and address the needs of the players. We have taken a closer look at the use of third-party software for transmitting input commands, through which a single keystroke or action can be automatically transmitted to multiple game clients.
We have found that this increasingly negatively affects the game, as this type of software is primarily used for bots and automated gameplay. The use of software to transmit input commands that transfers commands simultaneously to multiple WoW game clients will henceforth be considered a violation of our policies. We believe that this policy is in the best interest of the game and our community.
Players who are proven to use such software will receive a warning in the coming days that the rules regarding this matter have changed.
There were multiboxers in PvP as well – it was never fair.
What is still allowed? It is still permitted to own multiple WoW accounts simultaneously and to play them in parallel. However, all keyboard inputs must be done manually. This would mean that the player has to tab out of one WoW client and open the second to control the character directly. This can still be useful for pulling your own alt characters through dungeons or farming specific rare mobs.
However, the effectiveness of farm multiboxers is likely to be massively restricted by this new regulation.
In Fortnite, the jump to the next generation is coming soon. But before heading towards PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, you can secure a piece of Fortnite history.
But before we look to the future, Fortnite wants to take a look back – in the form of a gift. Therefore, starting November 4, the “Nostalgia Pickaxe” will be available for all Fortnite players – completely free of charge.
The Nostalgia Pickaxe is the standard pickaxe that was available at the very beginning in Chapter 1 of Fortnite.
The Nostalgia Pickaxe represents the classic harvesting tool.
Some might still remember: Back then, you didn’t land at Stark Industries, but in the little house in the middle of Loot Lake, for example. Vehicles like jetpacks, boats, or cars were still a thing of the future. And instead of crazy axe variants like the “Groot Harvesting Tool” from the current Battle Pass, you just had the classic pickaxe in hand.
The Nostalgia Pickaxe represents the classic, unchanged pickaxe from the old days.
How do I get the pickaxe? To get the pickaxe, you don’t have to do much. The Nostalgia Pickaxe will simply be available to every player in the game when they log in between November 4 and January 15, 2021. You will likely retrieve it from the in-game store.
The pickaxe is completely free for all platforms. On PlayStation, you can alternatively use the PlayStation Store to unlock the classic pickaxe.
Fortnite on PS5 and Xbox Series X
This is what’s ahead for NextGen: If you prefer to look ahead, you can look forward to some new features in Fortnite when it comes to the new consoles. Among other things, the game will feature improved graphics and is expected to support 4K resolution at 60 FPS on Series X and PS5. A first glimpse of the new version was already showcased a few weeks ago:

Additionally, features such as shorter loading times, improved split-screen (at 60 frames per second), and enhanced in-game physics will be introduced.
On PS5, the haptic feedback of the DualSense controller will also be supported, and your favorite modes should be accessible directly from the PS5 home screen.
The different masks play an important role in Watch Dogs Legion. We from MeinMMO present you with the coolest and craziest masks and tell you how to acquire them.
How do you get masks? You can find masks in Watch Dogs Legion by exploring virtual London. Whenever you approach a location with a mask, it will be marked on the minimap.
There are a total of 38 masks. However, some particularly cool and crazy masks are hidden or only appear at specific times. That’s why we tell you how to get these.
In total, there are likely over 40 masks in Watch Dogs Legion. You can find 38 of them in this video from the YouTube channel Gaming with Abyss:

Defalt Mask – How to get the mask from Watch Dogs 2
What kind of mask is this? The Defalt Mask belonged to the DJ and hacker named Defalt from Watch Dogs 2. It has a corresponding background and is therefore very popular and sought after.
However, the mask is also relatively difficult to obtain. The right time plays an important role here.
Where can you find it? This mask is relatively hard to get. You must go to Cannon Street Station in London at 2:00 AM. It is located north of the Thames. Leave the station, turn right and head south until you reach the river.
There you will see a café, and to the right of that, there is a pedestrian passage. Halfway through this passage, you’ll find a ladder on the right, where you can jump into a water basin.
Again, to the right of the ladder is a hidden door. You can only open it when it is around 2:00 AM. Behind the door, there is a room, and the mask will be under the table.
Here you can find the Defalt Mask.
Skull with Candles Mask
What kind of mask is this? In Watch Dogs Legion, there are several skeleton masks, but this one is special. It has holographic candles that make the appearance even more interesting.
Where can you find it? This mask is the first one from the video linked above.
You need to go to Westminster and look for the construction site Perry Harris. There, keep an eye out for a drone calling station. Here, a construction worker or a member of the Kelley gang can help.
Use the drone and fly it to a ledge at the edge of the site. There, you can collect the mask.
Here you can find the “Skull with Candl” mask.
Box Mask
What kind of mask is this? In Watch Dogs Legion, there is a mask where you put a box on your head. You definitely need to get this!
Where can you find it? For this mask, you need to go to Lambeth and again require a drone. You will find the mask at the top of the building’s roof.
Here you can find the Box mask
Lion Gargoyle Mask
What kind of mask is this? This mask is a mix of a lion and a gargoyle. It also has a huge ring that goes through the nose. This moves back and forth while you roam the streets, making it one of the visually craziest masks.
Where can you find it? For this mask, you also stay in Westminster. You will find it in the basement of Somerset House in the northeast of the district. It lies on a wooden crate.
In the Somerset House, you will find the Lion Gargoyle Mask.
Golden Pig Mask
What kind of mask is this? In Watch Dogs Legion, there are several pig masks, just like there are with the robots. But the golden mask is of course the crown.
Where can you find it? To get this mask, go to Nine Elms and head to the US embassy. The mask is located across the street to the south, right on the balcony of a building. Again, you will need a drone to reach the mask.
On a balcony, you will find the Golden Pig Mask.
With this, you have found 5 really cool masks. Which one is your favorite? Or do you have another favorite? Let us know in the comments!
In addition to a guide to the mask, we from MeinMMO also revealed who the best members for your crew are:

These are the sources for Powerful loot in Season 11 of Destiny 2
This is how Powerful loot is divided in Destiny 2: Powerful loot comes in several tiers that grant you various power boosts. Accordingly, higher tiers grant you higher power boosts.
Tier 1 (up to +3 over your current power level)
Tier 2 (up to +4 over your current power level)
Tier 3 (up to +5 over your current power level)
pinnacle gear (+5 or more over the power level. The only gear that goes over 1050 and up to a maximum of 1060)
For your information: Power levels gained through the new artifact “Seed of the Silver Wings” will not be considered in the calculation of your drops. Here, the average of the gear and weapons is decisive.
Sources for Powerful loot in Season 11:
Tier 1:

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the Battle Royale spin-off Warzone, a new playlist update has gone live. This immediately attracts two of the players’ favorite modes.
What’s new: As Infinity Ward announced on Twitter, the playlist in both games will be thoroughly shuffled again. However, the update currently only pertains to the playlist, with no further patch notes available at this time.
Changes in Warzone: In Warzone, two new modes are landing in the playlist. The playlist now looks like this:
Battle Royale: Solo / Duo / Trio / Quad
Zombie Royale Trio: Instead of the Gulag, there is a zombification
Blood Money Quads: Plunder version where kills give more cash
Warzone Rumble: Large team deathmatch on the BR map
In multiplayer for Modern Warfare, however, there are a bit more changes. You will now find the following modes:
Tournament: 2vs2 gunfights in knockout tournament
Ground War: The big mode in the standard version
Blueprint – Custom Gunfight: 3vs3 fights with blueprint weapons
“Which objective?”: Objective modes where you also collect objective points with kills
Shipment 24/7
Shoot House 24/7
The modes Onslaughter and Gunfight are therefore being removed. Especially the addition of the modes Shipment 24/7 and Shoot House 24/7 will likely please many fans.
Update brings Shipment and Shoot House at the same time
This is what the modes are about: Recently, the modes were present in the form of “Shoot the Ship”, now they are available in separate 24/7 form. Both modes are very popular with fans and have almost traditionally been requested in the comments of playlist updates. This week, the request was fulfilled.
Shipment, probably the most popular map in Modern Warfare.
Shipment is a very small and fast map that stands for plenty of action. You don’t have to search long, but are almost constantly in combat. It is also great for gaining a lot of experience points.
Shoot House is also a rather small map, but it is a bit more relaxed than Shipment. Both maps are a good choice if you are into rapid continuous fire.
Meanwhile, preparations are advancing steadily towards the new CoD Cold War, which will be released on November 13. MeinMMO shooter expert Sven Galitzki is more uncertain than ever regarding the purchase of Cold War. “I’m more unsure than ever with Call of Duty.”

In FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, the first league/tournament SBCs went live on Monday evening. However, they were only available for a very short time: hardly had they gone live, and they were already gone.
Update, November 3, 6 PM: In another tweet, it was explained that they are currently investigating which players are affected by the problem. These players should then get their exchanged player cards back.
Additionally, it is announced that the SBC should be back later this week. However, no specific time is given.

These are the SBCs: On Monday evening, the Squad Building Challenges “Conmebol Libertadores” and “Conmebol Sudamericana” went live in FIFA 21. In the SBC menu, both could be selected under the new league SBC tab.
On Twitter, the two “league/tournament” SBCs were announced by the Direct Communication channel. It was noted that the SBCs would be published again after their expiration date in 30 days, possibly with new requirements and rewards.

This is the problem: Even the first round was apparently faulty. Not even an hour after the first, the next post appeared: The SBCs were temporarily taken offline. Players who had already been working on the SBC or had even completed it would get their exchanged player items back.

Where was the error? There is currently no official reason for the deactivation, however, players (e.g., via reddit) report faulty rewards. Instead of the announced 83+ and 86+ players, wrong packs were given as SBC rewards.
This is how players are reacting: While many players are frustrated with the error, there are also voices that see at least one positive side: Since players should get back the ones they redeemed, they can redo the SBC when it returns.
The main point of discussion regarding the SBCs is that the stronger packs in the challenge were untradeable. In fact, league SBCs are very popular among many players, as they can be effectively used to boost their club with players and coins. However, untradeable pack players cannot be used for trading on the transfer market.
As FIFA streamer Castro commented under the post: “Tradeable packs or we riot.”

Some players hope that this might also have been an error that led to the deactivation. However, that is still open; there is currently no official statement on this issue.
Are you still looking for good players for your Ultimate Team? Then you should take advantage of the low transfer market. Here you can find strong teams for the Bundesliga for every coin budget.

Data miners indicate that Niantic is currently working on the Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO. There is a change that many of you might appreciate. It is a major wish of the community.
What’s going on with the Mega Pokémon? When this new feature was introduced, many trainers in Pokémon GO were dissatisfied. Mega Evolutions temporarily make a Pokémon stronger for battles, but
it initially cost a lot of energy
the energy had to be painstakingly collected
the Mega Evolutions are only temporary – after the time runs out, they revert to “normal” Pokémon
A wish that was often expressed in the community was for “permanent Mega Pokémon”. These should remain in this form after the Mega Evolution and not expire after a certain time. And now there is new information on this.
Data miners find hints about permanent Mega Evolutions
This is shown by a leak: On reddit, the data miners of Pokeminers display their findings. They regularly search through the game’s code for changes. This allows them to find out what Niantic is currently working on and what might be activated in the game soon.
However, keep in mind that these data mining findings are not guaranteed changes that will actually be activated in the game. It may be that Niantic is just experimenting and might delete it soon or that the findings could be integrated into the game in a completely different way than expected.
Initially, the data miners show code related to locking temporary Mega Evolutions.
It is suspected that this code could be related to the following line.
MakeTempEvoPermanent
Make Temp Evo Permanent, meaning make a temporary Mega Evolution permanent. How this will be implemented and whether the interpretation is indeed correct will be revealed in the coming days or weeks when Niantic announces something in this direction.
What could this mean?
The most obvious assumption is that Niantic is changing the function of the Megas so that they remain permanent. A feature that could make many players happy.
What do players say about this?
“Sounds promising that they added something to make Megas permanent,” writes 47Dud3_ on reddit
“[…] I’m not sure if it’s the right way to handle the Megas. It would make more sense if they simply set the evolution costs to 0 after the first Mega Evolution. It should then last 4 hours and can only be used once every 24 hours […]” says Lambsauce914 on reddit
Other players speculate that one Mega Evolution per species could be made permanent. This would help keep track of them.
What do you think Niantic is planning with the Mega Evolutions and how would you prefer it? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.
On Twitch, some users seem to have problems with too many ad interruptions appearing in the middle of streams. Streamer Asmongold says: One of his viewers saw 20 ad clips in 3 hours. Twitch explains what the issue is. It appears to be a problem caused by the use of ad-blocking services.
This is the situation:
Ads on Twitch run automatically in pre-roll before watching a stream: The streamer himself can run “mid-roll” ads during a stream. However, only a few streamers do this, as advertising on Twitch is hardly profitable.
However, the problem is back. Some users are increasingly seeing ads. It appears to be due to the use of ad-blocking services.
Viewers complain about ad spam on Twitch
This has been noticeable in recent days: Apparently, there was a change at Twitch in the last few days that has led to more ads being shown in the middle of streams, which do not originate from the streamer.
This change must have occurred around the end of October 2020.
The well-known WoW streamer Asmongold says that some of his viewers have been bombarded with ad clips. They have seen 20 ad placements in 3 hours.
Other users on Twitter complain that they are now seeing increased ad placements. The ad clips cannot be bypassed any longer using an ad blocker.
A user states: Twitch is specifically targeting users of ad-blocking services and sending them an ad clip every 10 minutes. One has to disable the ad blocker to avoid this ad bombardment.
This aligns with Asmongold’s statement.

“Unexpected ad experiences” are due to external tools
This is what Twitch says: In response to Asmongold’s inquiry, Twitch says: They believe the “unexpected ad experiences” could be a result of using browser extensions or “third-party tools”.
Twitch recommends disabling these.

Twitch seems to have implemented a measure that clearly targets ad blockers. However, they do not openly admit this. They “believe” it only – “it could be so”.
However, the “unintentional ad experiences” that cause viewers to disable their ad blockers are unlikely to be unwelcome by Twitch.
Advertising causes anger on Twitch.
The peak of outrage over advertising on Twitch was reached in mid-September: Many streamers broadcast the big event for the PS5 reveal on Twitch. However, advertising was active at that time, which ruined the experience when ads were inserted in the middle of the presentation of a new game:
In Genshin Impact, you can obtain many of the strongest characters through a gacha system. Individual characters are highlighted for specific banners, ensuring they are guaranteed to appear. However, this can become quite expensive.
How can you get the best characters? In Genshin Impact, there are currently over 20 characters, with those having the highest star rating usually tied to the gacha system.
This means you have to spend premium currency to buy “wishes”. The primogems can be farmed in-game, but the easiest way is to buy them with real money. With the wishes you obtain, you might get a character—with a lot of luck:
The chance of getting a 4-star character is 5.1 %
The chance of getting a 5-star character is 0.6 %
However, there are guarantees given by the developers. For every 90 openings of the same banner, you are guaranteed to receive a 5-star character. Additionally, there is a 100 % guarantee for the newest character Klee. But even that can get really expensive.
Up to 440 euros for guaranteed characters
How does the guarantee work exactly? The banner “Flaming Steps,” from which you are supposed to get Klee, has a special effect:
If you pull a 5-star character, the chance of getting Klee is 50 %
If Klee is not there on the first pull, the chance is 100 % if you pull another 5-star character.
Statistically, you receive a 5-star character every 167 openings. However, the guarantee that there will be a 5-star character in every 90 pulls means you will get one more often.
Let’s assume that you do not have extra luck and the first guaranteed character is not Klee; you will need precisely 180 wishes for Klee.
Klee is the newest character, but it can also be expensive.
How much do the wishes cost?
One wish costs 160 primogems
Therefore, for all 180 wishes, we need 28,800 primogems
1 primogem corresponds to one creation crystal, which can be purchased for real money.
Even in the best value package, you get 6,480 creation crystals for 109.99 euros. Additionally, you receive 1,600 bonus crystals—so it’s 1.3 cents per primogem.
Calculating with the required 28,800 primogems, this totals to 374.40 euros. However, there is no such package available. Therefore, you would need to spend 109.99 euros four times, and you would still have 19 bonus wishes left. Even in combination with the cheaper package, a better value is not achievable due to missing primogems.
This is the cost of the creation crystals in Genshin Impact.
What does this mean now? Of course, you can farm primogems, you might get lucky and need fewer wishes, and yes, there are a few extra wishes depending on how many 4- and 5-star characters and weapons you get while opening.
But the value of 374.40 euros is the guarantee that the developer gives you for Klee if everything else goes wrong. Even for the 50 % chance, you would still need to invest around 180 euros.
And exactly that is, besides the original resin in the endgame, a major point of criticism for Genshin Impact. This has also been recognized by more and more content creators around the game.
Tectone is a content creator for Genshin Impact and warns about the gacha system.
YouTuber Tectone, for instance, mentions that he was once addicted to the gacha. Now he only buys the wishes in-game to save you from foolishness:
Guardians have one week left to prepare for the expansion Beyond Light in Destiny 2. MyMMO explains why you can barely prepare this time. However, it also gives you tips if you want to start the new DLC as well-equipped as possible.
Therefore, you shouldn’t level up anything anymore: If you want to spend your last days in Season 11 upgrading your gear and obtaining top loot to push your power level a little further, you should refrain from doing that.
Once Beyond Light launches, all Guardians will receive a power level boost to 1,050.
The current hard cap, the maximum limit, in Season 11 is set at 1,060.
Even new Guardians will thus run into the DLC almost as strong as the strongest players currently.
In Beyond Light, the soft cap is at 1,200: This means that every green drop will quickly advance your level.
So don’t waste your time leveling up.
In Beyond Light, you’ll quickly find better gear.
Collecting tokens also brings nothing: Until now, “rich” guardians could quickly earn a few power levels in a new DLC or season. This was possible through the token system – starting with Beyond Light, this will no longer be useful.
If you go to Shaxx or other NPCs in Beyond Light and expect high-level gear for your tokens, we have bad news: starting with Season 12, gear obtained from collections or for tokens will have a lower power level than in previous seasons.
Items you receive for tokens will be 20 power levels below your level.
Gear from collections will even be capped at power level 1,050.
As compensation, Bungie is introducing a new system where your favorite activities will yield significantly more for your power level. More information about power levels from November 10 can be found here:
Should I hoard bounties in preparation for Beyond Light?
Bounties have always been viewed as a safe bet when preparing for new content. However, you need to consider a lot this time if you want a real advantage.
The argument for collecting bounties
The experience you gain from redeeming a bounty does not directly affect your power level. However, the experience benefits two important aspects:
The artifact gives you a passive level bonus that adds independently to your power level.
In the artifact, you will also always find special mods – these are the best what the season has to offer and allow for strong builds.
2. The Season Pass:
The Season Pass also levels up through all XP sources, including bounties.
Rewards such as armor, weapons, engrams, and exotics await in the Season Pass.
This gear often has strong stats, and on the other hand, the gear is good for the power level.
Furthermore, it speaks for collecting bounties that the current Season 11, after its extension, has been running for 5 months. So you definitely don’t need additional experience or rewards anymore. Therefore, you can simply carry completed bounties into Beyond Light.
However, a few important things must be considered.
Bounties for Beyond Light: to collect or not? – Source: reddit
The argument against collecting bounties
Bungie knows which season your bounties come from. This means that many rewards will be at the power level of the season the bounty originated from.
If you redeem your bounties from the current Season 11 with Zavala in Beyond Light, his rewards will only be at the level of Season 11.
This way, you will lose the powerful reward from Zavala for the whole week.
In this case, you would be better off completing bounties you accept starting November 10.
This is how to bypass the problem: There is a little trick to earn experience from old bounties without missing out on new powerful rewards.
To do this, collect bounties now and don’t redeem them at the start of Beyond Light.
Instead, complete the new bounties first, and only when you have the powerful reward from an NPC do you redeem the bounties from Season 11.
This way, you will gain experience for your new artifact and the Season Pass, but without harming your power leveling.
Additionally, you should keep in mind: Some bounties you should not collect at all and take to Beyond Light:
It’s better not to collect any PvP and Gambit bounties from Season 11. In the past, these bounties could sabotage your power level.
For rank-ups where old PvP or Gambit bounties were involved, you will only receive old rewards.
Bounties from locations that will vanish with the launch of the DLC will likely also be lost – so don’t waste your time here.
Event bounties are supposed to disappear from the inventory, so complete them before the reset at 6 PM.
Some weekly bounties also disappear every weekly reset – this includes, for example, the EDZ.
What we really recommend as preparation is to secure the best weapons now. Because many of them will disappear when the new DLC releases:
If you’re an unyielding bounty hoarder, these bounties will keep you safe:
Strike: Daily bounties
Gunsmith: Daily and Weekly bounties
Eris Morn (Moon): Daily and Weekly bounties
Statues of Devotion (Moon): Daily and Weekly bounties
EDZ: Daily bounties
Nessus: Daily bounties
What now, to collect or not? Ultimately, you have to answer this question for yourself. However, Bungie has significantly narrowed down preparation. We only recommend putting in the effort if you really want to prepare for the opening of the new raid on November 21.
But keep in mind that all this collecting could be for nothing when the patch notes for Beyond Light are released.
Are you specifically preparing for November 10? Do you have any tips for other Guardians? Share them in the comments.
With Markarth, the 4th and final DLC for the Black Heart of Skyrim is now live. But how does the new DLC for Skyrim play in ESO? MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn was on location with the developers in Markarth.
Who was there? On my tour through Markarth, the ESO developers Jeremy Sera (Lead Content Designer) and Rob Garett (Lead Gameplay Designer) accompanied me. The two showed me the highlights of Markarth and other new features that have been added.
How my colleague Larissa Then found the city of Markarth can be discovered here:
The coolest city in Skyrim: The trip to Markarth and the vastness was a great experience for me. Because in Skyrim, the region around the city of Markarth and the city itself were one of my highlights back then. This was mainly due to the wild look the people there had. I wanted to portray my hero as wild and barbaric as possible, and the armor from this region suited me best.
Why are there bones lying around? Thus, I was particularly pleased when I visited Markarth in ESO with my two companions. Because wild, grim men and women are roaming everywhere. They are adorned with bones, horns, and antlers.
Markarth is a place full of contrasts.
“What’s up with all the bones and antlers?” I ask my companions. “It’s sort of a cultural thing,” is the reply. “The Reachmen are a wild, nature-connected people, that’s their way.”
A city full of danger: The city also has this wild style. Bones and other animal trophies are incorporated throughout the architecture. But it is clear that the city is not the original work of the barbarians from the West. The characteristic building style of the Dwemer, the vanished, mysterious race of Steampunk elves, is clearly visible in many places.
The developers are especially proud of the city, which is taller than typical cities in ESO. Therefore, I climbed with Jeremy to the highest viewpoint of the city. “From up here, you have the perfect view, take a look!”
The perfect screenshot from the viewpoint didn’t happen.
And yes, he was right. Below me stretches the glorious chaos of the crude style of the Reachmen and the old Dwemer. I want to take a particularly beautiful screenshot, but the UI was still in the way. And the perspective isn’t right. I adjust my position and suddenly plunge into the depths!
Jeremy is oblivious and continues raving about the wonderful city. “Were you able to take a good picture?” he asks me. “Where are you, actually?” he continues, noticing that I’m no longer there.
“I fell down! This city is deadly!” I lament my fate wretchedly! He then laughs and says, “Yes, the Reachmen don’t care much for safety precautions like railings. Only the strongest survive here.”
Greymoor was dark, Markarth takes it up a notch
As dark as Markarth gets: The whole scenery in Markarth, from the dark halls of the ruler to the arena, the desolate surroundings, and the new areas of the Black Reach below, feels gloomy, threatening, and hopeless.
In Markarth, you feel even less welcome than in the already quite unfriendly city of Solitude from Greymoor. More than in the large chapter expansion, here you have the feeling of being barely tolerated, right before it is decided to cut the throat of the unwelcome “guest” at night.
Markarth is an inhospitable place.
It doesn’t get any better as you dive deeper into the matter. “Deeper” is to be taken literally here, as the Black Reach, aptly named “The Black Heart of Skyrim,” plays a major role once again.
This is what the Black Reach under Markarth looks like: The Black Reach is the developers’ pride, and Jeremy explains enthusiastically what they have come up with: “We have several biomes, the “glowing crystal biome,” the “crazy mushroom biome,” and now the “mad cave biome” that you can see here.”
The “Mad Cave Biome” is dark yet adorned with colorful effects. Colossal, funnel-shaped mushrooms sprout from the ground everywhere, and the animals there look strange. “Why do the wolves glow in neon colors?” I ask naively. “That happens when you eat too many mushrooms,” my companions say. I make a note to avoid gathering mushrooms for buff food crafting down here.
The Black Reach has become even darker.
Every day greets the Chaurus: The glowing mushroom wolves are not the only danger in the Black Reach. While I am once again searching for the perfect screenshot, Jeremy suddenly yells: “Watch out, don’t go any further!” I just manage to stop in time and wonder what the good man wants from me.
I look around closely and suddenly I notice a strange black shape on a rock. And indeed, shortly thereafter the black mass moves, and I see a disgusting insect creature made only of black chitin, sharp mandibles, and malignant voracity.
A Chaurus! Exactly such a filthy creature had caught me off-guard during my developer tour for Greymoor a few months ago! These beasts are simply too well camouflaged. When such a creature catches you unexpectedly in the dark, you are just left stunned.
Do you see the Chaurus?
The crazy Dwemer ruins of death: The highlight of the underworld is, however, an ancient library of the Dwemer. On the way there, we encounter strange anomalies. It looks as if there is a rift in space and time. We can use these strange phenomena to teleport ourselves instantly to another location.
“Is that really safe?” I ask Jeremy. He just says nonchalantly, “Better not think too much about it, you know, a copy of a copy and so on…”.
The Black Reach with the old Dwemer ruin.
In fact, I seem to be not entirely wrong with my fears, as something is indeed wrong in the old library and its surroundings, and according to the developers, something is amiss down here.
So Markarth lies literally beneath a sort of ticking bomb from the Dwemer era, which further intensifies the atmosphere of threat and underlying danger. And I haven’t even had to deal with the creepy vampires that are also supposed to be here.
For me, Markarth is the crowning conclusion of the atmospherically dense 2020 campaign of ESO. The title “The Black Heart of Skyrim” is once again appropriate, as the connecting element remains the eerie beautiful Black Reach. The inhospitable surface becomes even more extreme in the underworld, and countless horrors seem to always be lurking just a few steps away in the shadows of the bizarre mushroom growths there.
All this was already strong in Greymoor and is even better in Markarth. As much as I liked the overall impression of Elsweyr, the price for the densest atmosphere clearly goes to the Greymoor campaign. And that is also due to Markarth.

After the unboxing videos of the PS5, we asked you how you feel about the size of the PlayStation 5. Over 3,000 people participated in the survey on MeinMMO. Here are the results.
What’s up with the size of the PS5? Last week, on October 27, 2020, first testers showed the PS5 in the unboxing. In front of rolling cameras, they recorded how they opened the console’s package and took out and set up the individual parts.
Many eyes, in particular, focused on comparison images of the PlayStation 5 alongside the Xbox and other consoles.
In images like the one from TheVerge, it is noticeable: Compared to other next-gen consoles, the PS5 is quite large.
This was our survey: Since so many comments focused on the size of Sony’s PlayStation 5, we started a survey on MeinMMO.
We wanted to know from you: “How do you like the size of the PS5?” As of now (November 3, 2020, 3:00 PM), 3,179 people participated in the survey. Everyone had only one vote to cast.
Many of you were willing to share your opinions. And a large part is not satisfied at all with the size. The distribution of votes currently looks like this:
How do you like the size of the PS5?
Not at all: 1,046 votes – About 34%
Not so good: 617 votes – About 20%
Okay: 375 votes – About 11%
Good: 243 votes – About 7%
Very good: 534 votes – About 17%
I don’t care about the size of the PS5: 364 votes – About 11%
Do you prefer to look at images? A screenshot of the distribution of the survey votes
If you combine “Not at all” and “Not so good”, more than half of the survey participants find the design of the PS5 rather bad than good.
“Better larger and without heat problems…”
This is what MeinMMO users say: In addition to the voting, you also actively commented on what bothers or pleases you about the size of the PS5.
tuShai writes: “Too big, the chat changes are anything but optimal. I’m really considering whether I should get a PS5 at all”
Tony Gradius writes: “The thing is not big… Papi’s first Sony Betamax video recorder, THAT was big. Fits easily in my lowboard in white lacquer. Will also be a great decoration element next to its function, the console.”
BavEagle feels that the PS5 is really big: “But that’s fine with me as long as the ventilation works and it doesn’t end up being an airport tower for jet fighters”
DerAdler writes: “The Xbox Series S looks like a speaker, the X like some black wooden block or mailbox, and the PS5 looks like it’s been bent. But I’d rather have it larger with proper ventilation than have heat problems like last time. I’ll take the size in exchange for that.”
Although many do not like the size, they understand that such a design can occur due to heat issues. Despite the aversion, people are willing to accept a larger device that hopefully plays their favorite games without overheating.
If you find the size of the PS5 okay, but wanted to change the side plates to a different color, you’ll need to come up with a different plan:
Those who watch the professionals of Call of Duty: Mobile will quickly realize: They play not only with their thumbs but with even six fingers at the same time. MeinMMO explains how you can replicate this so-called “6-Finger Claw” technique and improve in the mobile shooter.
What is this technique? The 6-Finger Claw refers to a hand and finger position where both the thumbs and index and middle fingers of both the right and left hands are used.
It is called “Claw” because the position resembles the claws of a crab, for example. The advantage is that you can utilize many more functions simultaneously and more precisely.
Most professionals play with six fingers—sometimes even more, and sometimes less. Professionals like the YouTuber iFerg use this technique especially on tablets. However, it is also easily usable on smartphones, as shown by the video from the professional Jokesta:

What does the Claw do? With it, you can aim, turn around, shoot, crouch, slide, or jump at the same time—something that players who only play with their thumbs cannot do. In short: You can do more things simultaneously.
This is useful for all situations in the game, whether in multiplayer or Battle Royale, and helps you become better with the best weapons in CoD Mobile. However, this requires a little preparation and a proper layout for the game.
6-Finger Claw: Settings, Layout, and Application
This is how your layout should look: CoD Mobile allows you to move all screen elements through the settings in advanced mode. If you want to play with six fingers, you should design the layout of CoD Mobile accordingly.
There are several approaches that can be adapted according to your own playstyle. We have shown you two alternatives here to give you some orientation for getting started:
Place the movement stick and bomb in the bottom left
ADS/Hip-fire button above it on the left
Jump button above it on the right
Look around on the right side of the screen
Alternative ADS button/Scope above it on the right (stacked)
Crouch and reload above it on the right
Operator skill on the right edge, above the center
Melee on the right edge
Weapon switch, pick up, and scorestreaks in the bottom right corner
A layout option for the 6-Finger Claw
The alternative variant uses an additional button for lying down. This is otherwise accomplished by holding down the crouch button:
Place the movement stick and bomb in the bottom left
Jump in the top left corner
Shoot also in the top left, to the right of the jump
Look around in the bottom right
Alternative ADS button/Scope at the top right (stacked)
Melee directly below
Operator skill to the right of melee
Lie down in the top right corner
Reload directly below
Weapon switch, pick up, and scorestreaks in the bottom right corner
Alternative layout with fire buttons at the top.
This layout helps you see more of the actual game events while having more control at the same time. Even if you use a different layout, you should ensure that the buttons for aiming and shooting are roughly in the left and right corners. You should be able to comfortably reach them with your index fingers or thumbs.
These are the settings you should use: The corresponding settings should be adjusted according to your own play feel. You can find some orientation in our 5 settings that you should use in CoD Mobile.
It is mandatory that you use all weapons except sniper rifles in hip-fire by default. It’s also useful to have the option “Quick throw grenade” to use throwing weapons immediately.
How does the Claw work now? The idea behind the Claw is that you can freely move and look around with your thumbs while shooting, reloading, or covering other essential functions with your index fingers (fingers 3 and 4).
With your middle fingers, you support your movement, such as jumping or lying down while moving and shooting. This works best by laying your tablet or smartphone flat on a surface and controlling it that way.
The 6-Finger Claw in action by Jokesta. This image and the thumbnail come from his YouTube video.
However, the technique requires a lot of practice. So take your time to learn it and don’t curse it if it doesn’t work right away. Over time, you will get used to it. Alternatively, you can also practice with fewer fingers first.
Alternatives for Beginners: 4 Fingers or Fewer
If you can’t quite coordinate with six fingers yet, you can first practice using only four fingers. Add the index fingers to the thumbs, which are meant for aiming and shooting. The layouts are similar to those shown above. It’s best to orient yourself on these.
It is important that you get used to using these fingers as well. The advantage of this “4-Finger Claw” is that you can still comfortably hold your smartphone in your hand without having to lay it on the table.
If you cannot use one index finger or for other reasons only want to use one, there is still the 3-Finger technique. It primarily uses the thumbs to control all functions. Only shooting is reserved for the index finger. How this works is shown by Jokesta in the video:

The transition to such a technique will probably take a lot of time—especially if you have never played on a mobile device before. Console and PC players may have some issues with it. To help you get along better, here are tips for getting started in Call of Duty: Mobile for PC players.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In the financial report 3/2020 from Activision Blizzard, the company highlights the success of its new model for Call of Duty. The current Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is statistically between 300% and 1000% more successful than the last one, depending on the statistics. But does this only bring advantages?
This is the unfair comparison: In an earnings call, Activision Blizzard compared the figures of Call of Duty in Q3 2020 with those from Q3 2019 (via seekingalpha). This is an unfair comparison:
In Q3 2019, the only current CoD title was “only” Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 from 2018, which experimented with the battle royale mode “Blackout”
In Q3 2020, there was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), which was significantly advanced, along with the two incredibly successful free-to-play titles Call of Duty: Mobile and Call of Duty: Warzone
Call of Duty: Warzone alone has 85 million downloads.
In 2020, Call of Duty has 10 times more active players on PC than in 2019
These are the success figures from Activision Blizzard: Therefore, the figures from 2020 brutally dwarf those from 2019:
With 111 million, there are 3 times as many monthly active players as in 2019 – an active player is defined as someone who logs into a Call of Duty title at least once a month
On PC, the number of active users has increased tenfold – the gain is therefore primarily from PC
Modern Warfare had the highest sales of any Call of Duty ever, with two-thirds sold digitally
With in-game sales, Activision Blizzard earned 4 times more on PC and consoles than in the previous year’s quarter
The new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold will now be shown to a “much larger community” than a year ago, Activision Blizzard is pleased
Is Activision Blizzard now facing the Ubisoft trap?
What is the catch? This very “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War” could become a problem for Activision Blizzard. Because the great figures of Call of Duty in 2020 indicate a new situation:
In previous years, Call of Duty was practically dead in Q3. Everyone was waiting for the new game to come out, and the anticipation was huge. It could create hunger for something new and hype.
In 2020, Call of Duty, as Activision Blizzard itself shows, is still alive. There is still something to eat. The hunger and hype for the “new Call of Duty” are absent or at least more muted than before.
This is a new situation for Activision Blizzard: It has never been like this before.
In 2019, Ubisoft bitterly felt what it is like when you develop and improve titles for a long time and then simply bring out “new parts in the franchise.” They experienced a pretty nasty shipwreck with this tactic.
The games The Division 2 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint flopped, because they were too close to The Division 1 and Ghost Recon Wildlands, which Ubisoft had cultivated and improved over the years. Ubisoft painfully analyzed and admitted this at the time.
Therefore, Ubisoft changed their release plan in 2019 and wanted to completely rethink their strategy. They realized:
those who improve and develop existing games over the years, earn money from them, and truly celebrate their success
have difficulty selling fans a new part that is “somehow the same, but different and better” than the previous one
It could be that Call of Duty with “Cold War” gets into a similar situation.
MeinMMO expert Sven Galitzki is a good example of the growing hunger for a new Call of Duty being smaller in 2020 than in previous years. In an opinion piece, he explains why he can’t get as excited about Call of Duty: Cold War as he could about earlier titles:
Call of Duty: Warzone is undoubtedly one of the best Call of Duty games and immensely popular. MyMMO editor Noah Struthoff prefers to play the smartphone spin-off Call of Duty: Mobile. Why?
Call of Duty has actually accompanied me throughout my entire youth. I grew up with it and have played almost every CoD title – some more, some less eagerly.
With Call of Duty: Warzone, a Battle Royale came along that thrilled thousands of players and initially hooked me as well. However, I have become somewhat bored with it now.
Instead, I found an alternative that I enjoy playing much more: CoD Mobile. On my phone, I regularly take out players and win rounds. I haven’t entered Warzone in weeks, but I still regularly play Call of Duty on my phone.
More Variety and Flexibility
What do I like about CoD Mobile? The possibilities in Call of Duty: Mobile are enormous. The developers continuously bring new updates, and every week it feels like I am experiencing something new. A lot has happened in the first year of CoD Mobile:
Compared to the release, there are now twice as many maps (23 in total).
There are 27 multiplayer modes that I can switch between as I wish.
The changes are noticeable, and I can play for hours without ever feeling like it’s repetitive.
Even though you play on a smartphone, CoD Mobile is an incredibly good shooter. It is realistically designed, and often you don’t even realize that you are actually playing on a phone.
Recently, the Halloween update brought fresh air to the game.
I’m good at it and it’s fun: Even though I have been playing shooters for years, I am not a professional. It’s rare for me to win a round or lead the scoreboard. But in CoD Mobile, that’s different.
The mobile game uses bots in the lobby, allowing even the biggest noob to march through the game and collect kills. That’s fun, because there isn’t a sweaty opponent lurking around every corner trying to take me out.
I have secured victories in Battle Royale and normal rounds and felt really great about it. I went from being an average player to a true expert – at least that’s how it felt.
What I like the most: I can really play CoD Mobile anywhere. If I only have a short amount of time and am still looking for something to do, I play CoD Mobile.
That is useful in many situations: during commercial breaks, while riding the bus, on my lunch break, and to unwind in bed. I just have to pull out my phone and I can get started.
I get the classic shooter feeling while being able to be anywhere. That fits me well because I feel like I’m on the go every free minute, and when I have waiting times, I quickly play a round of CoD Mobile.
I feel like a real pro in CoD Mobile – even though I probably am not.
That’s why I prefer CoD Mobile: Don’t get me wrong, Warzone and Modern Warfare are good CoDs, and I definitely had my fun with them. But especially Warzone feels the same to me after a while. You run around in houses for ages, collect good loot, and then one second you’re taken out by a sniper and you’re out. That takes away the fun for me in the long run.
CoD Mobile I can turn on and switch between dozens of modes – depending on my mood. Sure, Warzone is purely a Battle Royale, but CoD Mobile offers that and also more modes.
I’m not a big fan of long gaming nights either; I play a bit here and then resume later. Sometimes it’s not even worth it for me to fire up the PlayStation.
Here’s some criticism: If there’s one criticism I have, it’s the numerous prompts to invest money in the game. CoD Mobile still has that classic mobile face and you’re tempted to spend some money.
That is of course logical. After all, the game is completely free, and somehow the developers have to make money.
Nevertheless, I have to say that so far I have managed completely without real money and have been able to resist every temptation. So far I have not experienced any disadvantages and still won my matches. Most items in the in-game shop are cosmetic, like the numerous skins from Season 11.
This is what CoD Mobile offers me: In summary, I can say that I have a great Call of Duty compact on my phone that I can pull out at any time. It gets at least as many updates and innovations as Warzone and is overall significantly more varied.
The quality is also right. The mechanics work well, and CoD Mobile is far from a cheap knockoff on mobile. That’s why I prefer it to Warzone.
If you now want to start a round or two in CoD Mobile, you should remember the best weapons:
Activision Blizzard discussed the game Diablo Immortal in its latest quarterly report. According to their own statements, the first testers are very satisfied. New regions are also expected to be invited to these tests soon.
In August 2020, the first internal tests took place, where employees from companies not involved in the development could try out Diablo Immortal.
What do these testers say? In the “Earnings Call” regarding the quarterly results, Daniel Alegre, COO of Activision, spoke about the internal tests. These took place in the third quarter of 2020, and the first testers are said to be “extremely enthusiastic”.
However, Alegre did not reveal exactly what excited the testers. These testers were also employees of Blizzard itself.
During the development of Diablo Immortal, it was repeatedly emphasized that it should have the “usual Blizzard quality.” This points to actions such as the statement regarding completion in November 2019 and the hiring of Rod Fergusson, who is known as the “Closer” – and is supposed to complete Diablo 4 and Immortal.

What’s next for Diablo Immortal? Alegre also stated in the earnings call that Blizzard will “soon” expand the tests for Diablo Immortal. External players from various regions of the world will then be allowed to participate.
However, these tests are not expected to be public. Therefore, there will be no videos or livestreams of the current version.
However, how the testers are invited and which regions will be unlocked has not yet been revealed.
Besides Blizzard, Riot is also focusing on a mobile game: Wild Rift aims to finally bring LoL to smartphones.

All info about the Spotlight Hour with Tragosso
When does the event start? It begins at 6:00 PM German time. For exactly one hour, Tragosso will be found everywhere in the wild.
What bonuses are there? In general, the spawns are increased, and Tragosso appears significantly more often. This is typical for a Spotlight Hour.
In addition, there is double Stardust for catching Pokémon. You will receive at least 200 dust per Pokémon.
Is there Shiny Tragosso? Yes, for some time now you have been able to catch Tragosso in its shiny form. This will also be the case during the Spotlight Hour.
You can easily recognize the shiny because it is greenish and no longer brown:
Why is the bonus so good? Stardust is the most important resource in the game and is always worth collecting. With Stardust, you can power up your Pokémon, and only those who have really collected a lot of dust can have a strong team.
If you are looking for reinforcement in your team, you should first collect Stardust. This Spotlight Hour is especially worthwhile.
What’s next? In November, several more Spotlight Hours await you. There will also be additional events taking place this month. We have compiled the highlights for you here:
