The well-known Twitch streamer shroud is considered by many viewers to be one of the best shooter players in the world. He has a reputation as a “human aimbot.” In Modern Warfare, however, he is overshadowed by 2 pros in Call of Duty.
Shroud himself is not bad and gets some kills, but in the end, he keeps getting eliminated by the same pros and cannot understand how they can play so well.
“How does he do that?”
Here are the scenes: A video compilation on Shroud’s YouTube channel shows the scenes. At minute 5:09, Shroud smiles and remarks: “Yeah, that’s a CoD pro!” and had previously been eliminated with his teammates:
At minute 8:43, the streamer becomes even clearer and says: “Dude, Scump is so good, it’s crazy how good he is. I don’t understand it, how does he do that?”
Throughout the video, Shroud is eliminated multiple times by the CoD pro Scump. The pro is considered one of the best players in the game. He has already won 27 tournaments and has dominated before.
Another pro has also caught Shroud’s attention: Priestahh. This pro has only been in the game for a few years but has already won 3 championships.
From minute 11:58, you can see the gameplay against Priestahh. Shroud already announced that Priestahh would showcase him and he was not lying. In the Gunfight mode, the pro and his teammate won 6:1 and easily took down the Twitch streamer.
Shroud was also a former CoD pro
This is what is so impressive about it: Shroud also has a past as a shooter pro; he was active in CS:GO. The Twitch streamer is therefore not bad at all; he is regarded as a player with exceptional aim skills and knows many tricks of the pros. Moreover, he has landed various crazy kills live on stream.
Nevertheless, it shows that he is no longer among the best players at this level, as there is a reason why he is showcased by the two current pros.
You can now also secure a free weapon in the beta. We show you how to do it:
In the latest patch of Overwatch , several heroes have been adjusted. However, two others have received undocumented changes that have significant impacts. Players have recently discovered this.
Which heroes have been adjusted? Both the healer Mercy and the DPS hero Torbjörn seem to have received hidden changes. This was discovered by attentive user Lighting_Laxus on reddit.
This is how Mercy got nerfed: Mercy experienced a major nerf to her damage-boost mechanics. With her alternate fire using the Caduceus Staff, she increases the damage of allied heroes.
If a boosted hero deals damage, Mercy receives 30% of the damage dealt to charge her ultimate “Valkyrie.” This applied even if the enemy heroes died immediately, for example, from a headshot by Widowmaker or from falling.
If Mercy, for example, boosted Lúcio while he was pushing a Roadhog off a cliff, she received 30% of Roadhog’s health points onto her ulti-meter. According to Lighting_Laxus, this no longer works.
This is how Torbjörn got buffed: Things look different for Torbjörn. Apparently, his ultimate “Melted Core” has become stronger, distributing large puddles of melted slag since his rework.
As a small gimmick, the slag inflicts increased damage on opponents’ armor – a total of 190 DPS so far. This damage has apparently been increased to a solid 250 DPS, and that, despite the fact that tanks already have a hard time.
Lighting_Laxus suspects that this is related to the armor overhaul. Armor is no longer supposed to reduce damage over time to prevent certain effects from dealing no damage at all.
For Torbjörn, this seemingly resulted in a hefty buff – and for a blind streamer in some great moments:
In Fortnite , there is a discussion about Mitr0, who is considered a top player in Europe. Three of the best Fortnite players in the world, Mongraal, Benjyfishy, and Tfue, suddenly tweeted #freemitr0: And indeed, the esports organization Team Atlantis releases him from his contract after the pressure became too great.
Who is Mitro? It is about Dmitri “Mitr0” Van de Vrie, a Dutch player. He is one of the best players in Europe. He became known as the partner of Kyle “Mongraal” Jackson. They secured 6th place and $450,000 as a duo in the Fortnite World Cup.
Just Tfue’s tweet received 30,000 “likes”. Many other tweets with the hashtag followed.
When he tweets something, thousands of people see it: Tfue, number 1 on Twitch.
Rumors about Mitr0’s terrible contract
Why does he need to be freed? Rumors surfaced that Mitr0 is under contract with Team “Atlantis” and they do not want to let him go. He allegedly has a “gag contract” and is completely underpaid.

This is what the team says: The statement also came. Essentially, Team Atlantis says:
They signed Mitr0 in 2018 when he was still young and paid him good money
Then he grew, and they gave him a raise in January 2019 as stipulated in the contract
However, Mitr0 continued to grow and reached levels that Team Atlantis simply could not afford – Mitr0 then stated he was unhappy with his salary
Team Atlantis then tried to sell Mitr0 to another Fortnite team, but no one wanted to pay a transfer sum that was reasonable for Team Atlantis
Therefore, they agreed that Mitr0 would stay in Team Atlantis for the last months and serve out the contract
Team Atlantis also stated that the contract is by no means as bad as it is rumored. They don’t take any of Mitr0’s earnings from Twitch and YouTube. The profit participation also corresponds to an “industry standard” that was agreed upon with Mitr0.
Team releases Mitr0 after protests
This is what Mitr0 says: Mitr0 was just as shocked as everyone else about what happened with the hashtag #freemitr0.
He says many rumors about the contract that were circulating were far from the truth and exaggerated. He signed a contract in September 2018 that he later became dissatisfied with. He has outgrown Team Atlantis.
He actually wanted to get out of his contract earlier. But the situation could not be resolved, so they decided to let the contract run its course.
Now, however, after the shitstorm, he has sat down with Atlantis again and decided to let the contract expire after the Champion Series. He wishes Team Atlantis only the best.
Mitr0 can buy his way out of the contract – Tfue cannot
This is what it’s about: Mitr0’s situation can be summarized as:
Someone signs a contract that he finds acceptable at the moment
then it develops such that he could get much better conditions elsewhere
now he uses the “weight” of social media to get out of this now unfavorable contract
To understand what kind of weight this developed, one must know that the situation with “gag contracts” in Fortnite is charged after Twitch star Tfue sued the FaZe organization.
Tfue was in exactly the same situation as Mitr0 is now: he also signed a contract with FaZe as a “small fish” from which he rapidly outgrew – but FaZe did not want to release him.
They were good friends back then: Tfue and Banks, one of the heads of FaZe.
Interestingly, the hashtag “FreeMitr0” developed such weight on Twitter that Mitr0 got his wish and can leave earlier.
The interesting thing is that this tactic failed for Tfue because FaZe, as an established esports organization, apparently can take a much harder line than the young Team Atlantis. FaZe received more backing from its fans for Tfue to leave the organization that made him big:
While Team Atlantis evidently faced strong pressure from fans and had to back down
FaZe was able to simply withstand the situation with Tfue
The ironic thing is that Mitr0 will likely end up at FaZe – the organization Tfue is desperately trying to leave.
It is almost unimaginable: Brandon Tan, a player from Singapore, has now reached 1 billion XP in Pokémon GO. His journey there is impressive.
Who is Brandon Tan? This name should be familiar to many trainers. He is considered the best player in Pokémon GO as he has the most experience points worldwide.
Now the trainer from Singapore has reached an incredible milestone. He gained one billion XP. That is 50 times more than the path to maximum level 40. Many players haven’t even reached this, yet Tan has 50x more experience points.
The path to one billion XP
How did Tan achieve this? In a video on YouTube, the trainer explained his path to one billion. He took a whole hour to describe the individual stages leading to the billion.

The trainer reached level 40 back in October 2016. That is particularly early, as it should be noted that most XP were still gained through evolutions. Raids were not there yet, and they at least brought 20,000 XP each.
After reaching level 40, Tan really got started. Only 5 months later, on March 8, 2017, he already had 100 million experience points. That is level 40×5.
After this milestone, Tan leveled up even faster. Raids were introduced in the summer of 2017, and it became even easier to earn XP. In May 2018, Brandon Tan surpassed the half billion XP mark. At that time there was no friendship feature yet, which brings most XP to this day.
Raids brought the trainer with the most XP
With the introduction of friendships, Brandon Tan was also able to level up faster. In June 2019, he already reached 900 million XP. For the last 100 million, Tan took a bit more time. In September 2019, he finally reached 999,999,999 XP. That is the maximum. Pokémon GO cannot display one billion in the game.
What did he level up with the most? The main factor for Brandon Tan was definitely the raids. The trainer has completed over 14,000 legendary raids to date. There were days when Tan casually did over 50 raids, especially when there were good raid bosses.
He also mentioned that friendship levels were important. Tan already has 361 best friends. This means, if he always had a lucky egg activated, alone 72 million XP just for leveling up to best friend.
Brandon Tan has 361 best friends
Here are his statistics: Many of his medals are spectacular and perhaps unmatched so far. Some of them are presented here:
14,150 kilometers were run in total
695,900 Pokémon have been caught
100,600 evolutions have been conducted
30,200 eggs have been hatched
613,500 PokéStops have been spun
14,400 legendary raids have been completed
344,800 berries have been fed in gyms
33,900 field researches have been completed
55,500 Pidgeys have been seen and 39,800 of them have been caught
62,100 Rattatas have been seen and 42,500 of them have been caught
1,700 Kyogres have been seen and only 258 of them have been caught
Tan allowed other trainers to pay him to catch legendary Pokémon for them. This did not please Niantic, so they banned him for 30 days.
There are speculations: Some trainers repeatedly accuse Tan of not only playing his account, but also having other trainers play it. However, there is still no evidence for this.
Despite all the speculations and negative comments, reaching one billion XP is a huge milestone. He is the first known trainer to achieve this goal.
Pokémon GO has changed something about the 7km eggs. Here’s how you benefit from it:
Currently, layering in WoW Classic still helps to maintain gameplay enjoyment. However, Cortyn sees a big problem for the “endgame”.
World of Warcraft Classic has now been running for 3 weeks and slowly, at least the “big initial hype” is fading a bit. Although there are still waiting times on many realms during prime time and on weekends, they are no longer as severe as they were at launch. Waiting times of several hours have become just a few minutes in most cases.
However, I believe that the concept of larger realms with increased capacity will soon lead to a problem again: Not enough space for too many players.
Difference between Classic and Vanilla realms: Although World of Warcraft Classic is modeled after the original in almost all aspects, there is one huge difference: The capacity of the servers. Back then, a single realm could host only a few thousand players at the same time. Anyone attempting to log in had to queue.
We do not know the exact capacities of the current Classic realms, but Blizzard has said that they have “a multiple of the capacity of back then”. Back then, between 2,500 and 3,500 people could play on a realm at the same time – a relatively small number.
Too many players on a Classic realm?
The number was perfect, so there were never any major problems. The game world had an adequate size, allowing around 3,000 people to spread out and pursue their own goals. Of course, there were times when a popular farming spot for a resource was overcrowded. But that was an overpopulation of 5-10 players, still within an acceptable range, so at least one could get a little something.
With the “new” Classic servers, however, this will be difficult. It is obvious that these servers can accommodate many more players at the same time than was possible 15 years ago. Even without knowing the exact numbers, we can at least assume that 10,000 concurrent players are not a problem for the server – likely the number is even significantly higher.
But just because the realms can now support a larger number of players, it does not mean that the game world can as well.
Layering can lead to big problems
Once the layering system is completely abolished, these players will all share a game world that is highly limited in what it can offer players. Instead of having 100 players in the Eastern Plaguelands, there will be 300, 400 or 500 players. Resources in the form of enemies are limited here. When 2-3 players come to each mob, the fun of the game remains very limited.
My fear is that the chaos of the starting areas will repeat and solidify in the endgame.
The majority of players are thus stuck in the range of level 30 to 50. Here, the quest areas, despite layering, are still heavily farmed. A pleasant gameplay flow is only possible at many locations at night or early in the morning, unless one completely resorts to dungeons. In my guild, I keep hearing from players who lose their motivation to quest in the evenings because they have to fight over individual mobs even in a group, which drastically hinders gameplay enjoyment.
If this mass of players reaches level 60 and layering is permanently turned off, which is Blizzard’s stated goal, things will get tight. And very tight.
How will Blizzard solve the problem?
I am definitely curious to see how the chaos in the endgame areas will develop. And although I am currently having a lot of fun in Classic, I believe that we are heading towards a catastrophic state, for which there are currently only two solutions:
Either layering remains active even into the later phases of the game.
Or Blizzard “sits the problem out” until players lose interest because the endgame areas are completely overcrowded.
Honestly, I can’t really imagine either solution.
Maybe I am also overlooking the saving key or the yet-to-be-announced system that is meant to solve the problem.
But what do you think? Do you believe that this will all work in the endgame? Can classic WoW handle the increased player numbers?

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Kha’Zix is one of the key figures. Because he only has 1 star, he often reaches tier 3.
What is the problem with the combo? Many players find it too strong because there is little they can do against the damage and especially the True Damage of the void creatures.
On the other hand, there is a low chance of winning, as confirmed by the developer Mortdog on Twitter:
As promised, we checked the data this morning to see how the balance looks. Void/Assassin does not stand out. It is an inconsistent build that can work.
We stick to our plan not to bring a mid-patch.
Many players are not satisfied with this answer because they believe that the data is being misinterpreted.
The combo is so good that it stands in its own way
Where do players see the problem with the data? The combination of void creatures and assassins is currently popular and that is why the chance of winning is so low:
If too many players try to build the same combo, the number of these champions in the selection decreases.
Players receive champions of level 3 less often, which is why the combo often loses against weaker ones in the end.
Another problem players see is the interaction with the combo. They currently compare it to the quest rogue problem from Hearthstone. If someone successfully builds the combo, you can basically give up and that destroys the fun factor.
How do you play the combo correctly? If you now want to try to win with assassins and void creatures, you should keep the following in mind at the beginning of each game:
Collect a few void creatures, Zed, and Pyke.
Try to lose in the early rounds to collect some gold through a losing streak.
At stage 2-4 (round 7 in total), check how many players are collecting void creatures and assassins. If there are more than 2 others, change your strategy.
If you haven’t collected a spatula from the carousel by stage 2-4, change your strategy.
If you now want to stick with the combo, make sure to get Kassadin to level 3 and equip him with Youmuu’s Ghostblade.
With this champion, the origin’s function will also change. In addition, the patch will again bring many balance changes, including a completely new base item.
In August, 8 million players used the LoL client at the same time. Teamfight Tactics is likely also a reason why League of Legends is currently the most popular PC game in the world:
Shadowkeep introduces a new Nightfall mode. This will soon allow players to specifically farm Exotics. However, the path to this is not entirely easy.
How do you currently obtain Exotics? At the launch of Destiny 2, exotic items were not really rare and were almost thrown at players. Their actual purpose was therefore lost on many Guardians.
However, with the launch of Forsaken, the situation changed – exotic items became extremely rare. Only later in Year 2 did it become easier to obtain Forsaken Exotics, as the vendor Xur sold some of them.
Bungie now wants to revise the system again and create a way to farm Exotics.
How can you farm Exotics in Shadowkeep?Shadowkeep will not only offer brand new activities and exotic quests. There will also be a direct source for farming exotic items. However, players must be brave and prove themselves worthy in the new Nightfall mode “The Trial” by completing it on the Legendary or Master difficulty. This was revealed by the developers in a new video.
A new source for Exotics in Shadowkeep
This is how the new Nightfall mode works: The Nightfall mode “The Trial” represents a new variant of the Nightfalls. Here, players encounter particularly tough Champion enemies and must prove their strength. To keep up with the new adversaries, Bungie introduces seasonal artifacts. These are meant to help players with the power grind for the new endgame activities.
Because with loot alone, you can only reach a maximum of 960 Power Level. However, with the artifact, you can break this limit and rise in power unbounded.
The Nightfall mode comes with a total of 4 difficulty levels:
Adept – Power Level 750 is recommended
Hero – Power Level 920 is recommended
Legend – Power Level 950 is recommended
Master – Power Level 980 is recommended
In the video, you can clearly see the rewards for the Legend and Master difficulty levels. At both levels, there are Exotics as rewards for the player. These Exotics are marked as common and should drop quite reliably from the new activity. Thus, the developers create a direct source for Exotics where you can specifically farm them.
At the Legend difficulty, you can see that other rewards such as the Enhancement Prisms are “Uncommon”, meaning unusual and rarer. Exotics should drop quite frequently in the tough activities.
Weaker players also have a chance: The video does not show whether there are exotic rewards at the Adept and Hero difficulty levels. However, according to the developers’ comment, it will also be possible to obtain Exotics at the lower difficulties. The chance for this is, however, lower than at the higher difficulty levels.

What’s the idea behind this? Bungie wants to ensure that players can not only choose higher difficulty levels in the future but also be rewarded for it. Therefore, those who improve their characters and master difficult activities should be appropriately rewarded. This is why these Exotics drops are especially available at the higher difficulty levels of the new Nightfall mode, for which you have to significantly increase your power level.
Bungie, by the way, has plans that go far beyond Shadowkeep:
An impressive achievement was made by the Twitch streamer BlindlyPlayingGames. Although he is blind, he excels in Overwatch .
Who is it about? The streamer behind the Twitch channel BlindlyPlayingGames is actually known for his streams of World of Warcraft. Now he has turned to another Blizzard game: The hero shooter Overwatch.
What did he play? In Overwatch, he chose the character Torbjörn. He can set up turrets that automatically shoot at enemy players.
With this character, he was awarded the Play of the Game four times in a row. This is the play that is particularly highlighted in a match. In this first Play of the Game, you can observe a Quad Kill.

How does he manage that? While playing, BlindlyPlayingGames receives help from his viewers. They can write in his chat, and the streamer hears these messages with the help of text-to-speech. Things like “Turn around” can then be important in combat situations and determine the success.
The character Torbjörn makes sense in this combination with a blind player, as his attacks are not necessarily dependent on how accurately one can aim. As long as the turrets are set up, they automatically shoot at the opponents.
These are the other clips: In this clip, you see another Play of the Game. Although there is no Quad Kill here, the player receives 4 gold medals for the match, which recognize his special achievement in the game.

EA Sports has presented TOTW 1 (Team of the Week) for FIFA 20. Here you can find out which players will receive the first Inform cards of the new FUT season.
Today, September 18, not only the first Team of the Week in Ultimate Team is being released, but it is also the launch of the FUT 20 app. Once it is online, you can use it starting at 7 PM and already find the Inform cards in packs.
This is the Team of the Week: Every week, EA Sports releases the Team of the Week in Ultimate Team. For this, 23 players are selected who have shown outstanding performances in real football. These players are rewarded with enhanced Inform cards.
The strongest cards of TOTW 1: The cards with the highest ratings in TOTW 1 are those of Manuel Neuer (89) and Sadio Mane (89). But Mertens (88), Benzema (88), and Ibrahimovic (86) have also received strong cards in the first Team of the Week.
This Bundesliga player is included: In addition to Manuel Neuer (89), Delaney (84) from the Bundesliga is also part of the first Team of the Week.
Manuel Neuer’s first Inform card: This week Neuer receives his first TOTW card in FIFA 20.
All attributes have been improved by at least one point. The biggest boost was given to:
The release of TOTW 1: The new Inform cards can be found in packs starting from September 18 at 7 PM. They will be available for one week.
Why is the TOTW coming so early? Actually, FIFA 20 is not released until September 27, which means buyers of the Standard Edition will miss the first TOTW. However, owners of the Champions or Ultimate Edition have the opportunity to pack cards from TOTW 1. PC players with Origin Access Premier can even start even earlier.
You can find everything about the launch of the different editions here:
On the Transfer Market: If you would prefer to buy specific TOTW players, you can do so on the transfer market. However, these will still be extremely expensive at the start of the FUT season. It might be better to wait for a week with the purchase, as prices will have decreased somewhat by then.
Many players are slowly reaching the point in WoW Classic where they need to prepare for their first raids or have already gained some experience. For those who still need help, we will show you here how to start and complete the questline for Onyxia.
Why is the quest necessary? You need to complete the questline surrounding Onyxia if you want to enter the raid “Onyxia’s Lair”. At the end, you will receive a necklace that you must wear to be allowed in.
Our tip: Start the questline already in the leveling phase. This way you can complete the quests and gain experience in the many dungeons that you must conquer and for completing the quests.
After 19 years, WoW: The Burning Crusade gets a new cinematic trailer
The Onyxia questline for the Horde
Where does the quest start? As a Horde player, you start your quest at level 55 in the Badlands. Visit your base “Kargath” all the way in the west. In Kargath, you will find Warlord Goretooth, with whom you need to speak.
However, Goretooth will not give you a quest. Still, speak with him, and you will receive a letter from him directly into your inventory. This letter starts the quest “Warlord’s Command”, for which you need to kill three bosses in Lower Blackrock Spire.
In addition, you need to obtain the “Important Blackrock Documents”, which can be located at four different spots in Lower Blackrock Spire:
at the feet of Overlord Wyrmthalak
in an alcove next to War Master Voone
near Highlord Omokk
next to the offerings for Urok
What comes next in the questline? After you complete “Warlord’s Command” and turn it in to Warlord Goretooth in the Badlands, several more quests follow. We will show you shortly what they are called and what you need to do:
Part 2 – Eitrigg’s Wisdom: Speak with Eitrigg in Thrall’s chambers (start at Warlord Goretooth, end at Thrall in Orgrimmar).
Part 3 – For the Horde! Kill Rend Blackhand in Upper Blackrock Spire and bring his head to Thrall (start and end at Thrall).
Part 4 – What the Wind Tells: Listen to Thrall.
Part 5 – The Champion of the Horde: Find Rexxar. Rexxar roams in Desolace between Feralas and the Stonetalon Mountains (start at Thrall, end at Rexxar).
Rexxar’s path.
Part 6 – Message from Rexxar: Bring Rexxar’s Testament (provided) to Myranda the Kinswoman in the Western Plaguelands (start at Rexxar, end at Myranda the Kinswoman in the Western Plaguelands).
Part 7 – Oculus Illusions: Collect 20 Black Dragon Whelp Eyes from dragons in Blackrock Spire (start and end at Myranda).
Part 8 – Ashwing: Equip the Amulet of Draconic Subversion (provided neckpiece) and speak with Ashwing in the Marshes of Dustwallow (start at Myranda, end at Ashwing in the Marshes).
Part 9-12 – The Trials of the Skull: Complete three trials for Ashwing. You will need to kill four Elite/Boss dragons: Chronalis in Tanaris, Scryer in Winterspring, and Somnus in the Swamps of Sorrows. You will then receive the final test, for which you will need to kill Axtroz in the Swamp (start and end at Ashwing).
The location of Scryer.The location of Chronalis.The location of Axtroz.The location of Somnus.
Part 13 – Ascent… Bring the Dull Dragonfire Amulet (provided) to Rexxar.
Part 14 – Blood of the Black Dragon Hero: Kill General Drakkisath in Upper Blackrock Spire and bring his blood to Rexxar.
For completing this last quest, you will receive the “Dragonfire Amulet”, with which you can now enter Onyxia’s Lair.
The Onyxia questline for the Alliance
Where does the quest start? Unlike the Horde, you can start the questline on the Alliance side already at level 48. Search for Helendis Riverhorn in the Burning Steppes and accept the quest “Dragonkin Threat”. Riverhorn is located in a camp in the southeastern part of the map.
For the quest, you need to kill several dragons:
15 Black Whelplings
10 Black Dragons (Elite)
4 Black Wyrmkin (Elite)
one Black Dragon (Elite)
All dragons can be found to the north of Helendis, scattered across the steppe, at the edge of the eastern mountains.
What comes next in the questline? The Alliance starts the questline with a whole series of errand boy quests. So be prepared for a lot of running:
Part 2-7 – The True Masters: Deliver the message from Helendis Riverhorn to Magistrate Solomon in the Redridge Mountains. Turn in the quest and then bring the help request to Highlord Bolvar Fordragon in Stormwind. Complete the quest again and then speak with Lady Katrana Prestor directly next to him. Bring the received decree back to Magistrate Solomon. Complete the quest and take the next one to be sent to the Burning Steppes to Marshal Maxwell. Speak with the scruffy John for the next quest and listen to his story.
Part 8 – Marshal Windsor: Find Marshal Windsor in the Blackrock Depths. He is located in one of the prison cells (start at Marshal Maxwell, end at Marshal Windsor).
Part 9 – Lost Hope: Speak with Marshal Maxwell (start at Marshal Windsor, end at Marshal Maxwell).
Part 10 – A Crumpled Note: This step requires patience. From now on, every enemy in the Blackrock Depths has a chance to drop “a crumpled note.” Farm the enemies and pick up the note to start the quest. Bring the note to Marshal Windsor, who is still in prison.
The Dark Iron Dwarves in the Depths can be farmed particularly well.
Part 11 – A Glimmer of Hope: Kill General Doomsmith and Golem Lord Argelmach in the Blackrock Depths. Retrieve the information from them and bring it back (start and end at Marshal Windsor).
Part 12 – Prison Break: Escort Windsor out of the Blackrock Depths. Be well prepared, as you will be ambushed several times (start at Marshal Windsor, end at Marshal Maxwell).
Part 13 – Meeting in Stormwind: Speak with Reginald Windsor at the gates of Stormwind (start at Marshal Maxwell, end at Reginald Windsor in Stormwind).
Part 14 – The Great Masquerade: Escort Windsor through Stormwind. At the end, you must fight Lady Katrana Prestor, now in her true form as Onyxia, as well as several Elite Dragonkin. The guards will help you (start at Reginald Windsor, end at Highlord Bolvar Fordragon in Stormwind).
Part 15 – The Great Dragon Eye: Bring the fragment of the Great Dragon Eye to Haleh in Winterspring (start at Highlord Bolvar Fordragon, end at Haleh in Winterspring, southwest of Everlook).
Part 16 – Dragonfire Amulet: Kill General Drakkisath in Upper Blackrock Spire and bring the blood of a black dragon hero to Haleh (start and end at Haleh).
For completing this last quest, you will receive the “Dragonfire Amulet”, with which you can now enter Onyxia’s Lair.
Congratulations! Now you can fight Onyxia. However, if you encounter any bugs, you should report them and not exploit them:
In Borderlands 3 you can get cute pets at your home base through two quests: Pippie and Hermes. Our author Leya reveals to you which missions those are and how to get the animals.
The background: As I was traveling on the Sanctuary, I suddenly noticed a movement in the corner of my eye. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw a kind of little mouse sitting there, looking at me with its big, dark bulging eyes.
As I joyfully approached the little visitor, I realized that it could also be petted. When petting it, white hearts immediately appear above its head and it spits out ammunition.
I had never seen the animal before and, of course, had to find out what it was all about. My only clue: Its name is Hermes.
This tiny creature suddenly appeared on Sanctuary and gave me ammo
What kind of pets are these?
When I asked about the little creature in our MeinMMO Community Discord, our reader Luneras advised and explained to me that you take the pets home to the base from certain quests.
So far, we know two quests from which you get pets for the Sanctuary.
This is Hermes
Hermes is Ava’s pet. She is a monastery student who you first meet during the main quest “The Coming Storm” on Athenas.
Hermes is so small that you can only see him clearly through the scope
How to get Hermes: Once you have completed the quest “The Coming Storm”, Ava will come with you to the Sanctuary. She will bring Hermes with her, who will happily bounce around the spaceship from then on.
Since this is one of the early main quests, you will automatically encounter Ava.
By the way, you can now take the side mission “Violation of Privacy” from Ava on the Sanctuary. It is recommended that you have reached at least level 17 for this. During the mission, you collect the girl’s personal belongings and learn some background about her and the monastery on Athenas.
Ava also brings Hermes to the Sanctuary
This is Pippie
Pippie comes from the tropical planet Eden-6 and is here acting as a kind of truffle pig. However, he resembles more of a small raptor with long floppy ears.
Pippie is a mini-raptor with long ears.
How to get Pippie: You must complete the side quest “Witch’s Brew” on Eden-6. You take the quest from Murl, who has a spy mission for you.
During the quest, you will encounter Pippie, who is busy digging up mushrooms in a cave. However, Pippie is terribly afraid of the dinos in the cave and you must help him so he can keep digging.
Once you have completed the quest, you will encounter Pippie on the Sanctuary from then on. You cannot pet him, but you can see him hopping around.
Here you will find Murl with the quest (marked below) and the cave of Pippie (marked above).
There is one more thing with animals on the Sanctuary: If you take the crew mission “The Kevin Complexity” from Claptrap, you will also encounter animals on the Sanctuary. However, this story is full of horror…

To gain reputation for Darnassus in WoW Classic, there is a simple trick, namely a special quest. But beware! You must do this before level 60…
Currently, those playing World of Warcraft Classic, representing the Alliance, and who do not have a Night Elf character are likely considering the reputation with the Darnassus faction. After all, with a revered reputation, you can buy the Nightsabers, which look quite impressive due to their size, especially for Humans and Gnomes.
However, becoming revered with Darnassus is quite difficult and usually requires several thousand Rune Cloth or the cumbersome Morning Grain research. But there is a trick that allows you to gain thousands of reputation points already during the leveling phase – up to revered!
What is the problem? Gaining reputation with Darnassus is challenging. There are few quests for Night Elves, which means you have to rely on repeatable quests at max level that require a lot of Rune Cloth. Just buying the cloth could easily cost 1,000 gold or more, or it could take hundreds of hours of farming.
Farm the Flawless Yeti Pelt in Feralas
How can the problem be circumvented? Alliance players around level 45 should travel to Feralas. In the northern part of the area, there is a cave full of Yetis, which we have marked on the map.
Here you will find the right Yetis.
There you will find three types of Yetis, varying in level from 46 to 49:
Angry Yeti
Wild Angry Yeti
Old Angry Yeti
All these Yetis have a chance to drop the item “Flawless Yeti Pelt” (the chance is between 3% and 10%). Using this pelt starts a quest that requires you to return to Feathermoon Fortress and deliver the pelt. This not only gives 2200 experience and 70 silver but also a whopping 100 reputation points with Darnassus! Humans receive 110 reputation points due to their racial bonus.
The quest is repeatable: The best part is that you can repeat this quest infinitely. The Flawless Yeti Pelt can drop multiple times and be turned in. The problem is, however, that you can only carry one at a time in your inventory. So you have to return to the fortress after every Yeti Pelt, which takes about 7-8 minutes for both ways.
Quest is only useful up to level 58: But beware! As your character’s level increases, the reputation gained from this quest decreases drastically. From level 58, the quest only gives 10 reputation points. So if you want to maximize your reputation gain from the Yetis, you should grind here for a while starting around level 45 and keep returning to Feathermoon Fortress.
This farming spot is especially worthwhile for skinning. They get a lot of leather from the Yetis and earn a nice side income.
Tip: Those who bind their hearthstone at Feathermoon Fortress can sometimes save the travel time.
Is the effort worth it? If you consistently follow this method from level 45 to 55, you should easily reach a revered reputation with Darnassus. If that becomes too monotonous over time, you can of course stop beforehand and farm the rest of the reputation later in other ways – but this is hardly faster.
Are you also farming a revered reputation with Darnassus or one of the other factions? Or is it too much effort for you?
Developer BioWare has commented on Anthem regarding what the future should hold. The earlier plans to develop the online shooter in acts have been scrapped. The roadmap no longer exists. They want to focus on core issues. However, there is still no new information on long-term changes. This likely means: Anthem is playing it by ear.
This is the situation: The event “Cataclysm” was originally intended to be the first major content expansion for Anthem, which was supposed to start relatively soon after launch.
Cataclysm was originally planned for May.
This was the original roadmap for Anthem. Looked really solid.
However, that didn’t happen. Anthem had such severe problems with fundamental game systems (loot, player progression, motivation) at release that the start of Cataclysm was postponed.
This is what BioWare says in summary (via blog.bioware):
BioWare is proud of Cataclysm
They appreciate the many feedback provided by players regarding Cataclysm, which motivates the team – they have already implemented several changes
BioWare will scrap future plans for the “story acts”, abandoning this structure
They want to focus on the “core issues” of Anthem. This requires time and proper consideration, not a quick fix. A team is working on it and initial results are positive.
Therefore, they are now focusing on “seasonal updates” and events that they believe players will enjoy
Not ready to reveal concrete news
What’s next for Anthem? They want to be as transparent as possible, hence they state: We know we still have a lot of work ahead of us to improve Anthem.
However, they cannot provide any news about long-term plans at the moment.
They want to convince through actions and offer players a great game.
Much mockery for “future update” without news
This is how players are reacting: The blog post has received considerable mockery for Anthem (via reddit):
This is a blog post to tell us what’s next, without telling us anything – that’s more than transparent
Particularly, they highlight a point where BioWare states they want to be transparent, only to shortly thereafter say they cannot yet disclose how things will continue with Anthem
They wonder where BioWare plans to get the resources to continue developing Anthem
What’s behind this: The news comes from the “Head of Live Service”, which is already a concerning sign – normally, games like Anthem have a “Game Director” and significant expansions in the pipeline that the team, which developed the base game, is also working on.
However, such expansions were never planned for Anthem. And what was supposed to replace them, the acts, have now also been scrapped. Additionally, the original team is apparently now working on Dragon Age or has already left BioWare like producer Ben Irving.
He was one of the faces of Anthem and is now gone: Ben Irving.
The “Live Service” is essentially all that remains for Anthem. With the “Live Service”, one typically plays it by ear, trying to keep players entertained with events and smaller content updates.
The question beforehand was how Anthem could be a “10-year game” when it should come without expansions and DLCs. The

Mojang and Microsoft are planning a major overhaul of three areas in Minecraft. And this is despite the fact that the game is still extremely successful.
What is Microsoft planning? Three areas are set to receive a complete overhaul. These are “Swamp”, “Mountains”, and “Badlands”. New monsters, features, and gameplay mechanics are expected to be introduced. The developers aim to provide more details by September 28.

Necessary overhauls despite extremely high player numbers
Is it necessary? Recently, it was revealed that Minecraft has around 112 million monthly active players. This means it is extremely popular. Therefore, the question arises whether such a comprehensive overhaul is even needed. However, Minecraft is now ten years old. Even though it still ranks among the most popular games, it is time for a few new features and changes.
What makes this special? Mojang wants to tackle these overhauls with you. You can decide which of the three biomes should be revamped first. On September 28, Minecraft fans will have the chance to participate in a vote during MineCon Live.
However, there will be information beforehand about what exactly will be new in these areas. This will give you all the necessary information to make your decision.
Players desire a revamped swamp
What do the players think? Minecraft fans are already looking forward to seeing what the new biomes will look like. Many believe an overhaul is urgently needed. On Reddit, for example, discussions are underway about which area should be updated first.
The leading contender is the Swamp. Many want dangerous animals like alligators or swamp monsters, as well as fireflies and willows to create the right atmosphere.
In second place is the Mountain region, which could generally use a bit more excitement.
What do you think, which biome in Minecraft should be overhauled first?
In Fallout 76, a certain NPC is currently particularly unpopular with players. He causes annoyed reactions but also amusement and memes.
This is about the mayor: The “friendly” mayor of Grafton, whom most players will likely encounter fairly early in the game. He manages the town of Grafton located at the edge of the woods and Toxic Valley.
The mayor himself is an artificial intelligence sitting in a computer and re-elected at every period, meaning he has been in office for some time now. To do this, he repeatedly hires helpers to carry out tasks for him by tapping into the radio. This includes things like:
burying fallen heroes
cleaning up the surroundings for the upcoming tourists
What annoys the players so much? For some time now, his requests have been extremely persistent. Since the range of his transmission is quite high and he always seems to have something that needs to be done, he often bothers players right upon login.
He informs them about daily and repeatable quests or events, even if they have just completed them or are not near him at all. This leads some players to even turn off their sound for the first few minutes to avoid hearing him.
The mayor of Grafton – between frustration and schadenfreude
This is how the fans deal with it: Although many players are extremely annoyed by the intrusive mayor, others enjoy the rather harmless frustration of their fellow players. Some even mimic his announcements in posts on Reddit, where users are actually complaining.
What is Bethesda doing about it? According to a Bethesda employee on Reddit, the developers want to look into what is causing the increased requests from the mayor and address his friendliness. In the next patch, he should be a little less sociable.
Maybe the mayor should also better promote something more popular:
Tomorrow, on September 19, the next round of the Open Beta for Modern Warfare begins. Call of Duty is now even giving a weapon to especially diligent players.
What is the gift? You can earn the Hammer Shotgun, which will then be available to you in the full version of the game. The weapon is already fully configured and you can use it right away.
It should be another incentive to play a bit more in the beta. This way, you can get ahead of your opponents in the full version who do not possess this special weapon.
How to get the Hammer Shotgun in the Beta
What do you need to do for the weapon? You don’t have to complete any special tasks, just be especially diligent.
This is what the special Hammer Shotgun looks like
You need to reach level 10 in the beta by September 23 at 7 PM German time. If you manage that, the shotgun will be available to you at the release of Modern Warfare on October 25.
Level 10 is quite easy to reach. Many players wished for a level increase after the first day since level 10 was quickly reached.
Is the Hammer Shotgun exclusive? So far, there is no information about that. The shotgun is a modified version of the classic .725 shotgun, which you can already play in the beta.
Whether this configuration is only available exclusively to beta participants remains to be seen.
How do I participate in the beta? Starting tomorrow, on September 19, the beta will begin its last round for now. This time, not only PS4 players can participate, but all platforms have access.
The new update 10.31 in Fortnite is here. We show you in the German patch notes what Epic Games has changed in the game.
What does the update bring? The update brought a few major bug fixes. Items that were removed are back in the game.
Zip Lines are back in the game
Why was the Zip Line reintroduced? The zip line was removed from the game after it had a bug. Now it is back.
This is particularly important for players who still had open challenges with the zip line and want to complete them.
Weapons and Items
2 pickaxes are back: After a fatal bug was found with the pickaxes “Magic Wand” and “AC/DC”, they were temporarily removed from the game. The pickaxes dealt 56 damage per hit.
This error has now been fixed and both are now available in the locker again.
Gameplay Change – Storm Zone
Several players complained that the endgame zone would land in the new rift zones. This was a big issue as players suddenly started dancing at Greasy Grove and couldn’t defend themselves.
Now the storm phases will no longer end at these locations:
There is a new feature for Fortnite Mobile that allows players to see their friends at a glance and join groups.
This is supposed to make playing with friends even easier. Groups remain intact and can be easily found again.
Changes in Save the World
Weekly Mission: This week you are supposed to help the Ninja Cloaked Star in the second part of his journey to the radio station.
New in the shop: A new weapon that throws sound is soon available in the weekly shop. It is called the “Deciblaster”. It is supposed to knock back husks with its sound.
The husks then bounce several times on the ground and take damage with each impact. The weapon doesn’t require ammunition, but it doesn’t last very long.
In Destiny 2, a 7-year plan has been discovered. The current Destiny title seems to be around for a long time, and Destiny 3 is a distant prospect.
Here are the new details: Bungie has released a fresh ViDoc for Destiny 2 Shadowkeep, showcasing exciting gameplay and addressing some of the already known Shadowkeep innovations.
A particularly thrilling scene can be seen in the ViDoc from minute 5. Game Director Luke Smith discusses the future content of Destiny 2 on a large whiteboard – and the whiteboard shows Seasons 8, 9, 10, and 11 along with the next Destiny 2 years 4, 5, 6, and 7. You can see the most important excerpts here:
Destiny 2 is likely to remain relevant for many years
This is seen on the whiteboard:
The top row represents the season number, the row below it for the season name, and the third row for the “player fantasy”.
Season 8 is described as “Undying” with the player fantasy “Stem the Tide”. We know that Season 8 is called “Season of the Undying” and includes Vex invasions. These Vex invasions are likely described here as the “tide” that you need to stem.
Season 9 is referred to as “Dawn” on the whiteboard. Luke Smith already confirmed in the information about the new season pass model that the ninth season is called “Season of Dawn”. In the player fantasy, he writes “Fix the Timeline”. The Vex may be messing up the timelines that you will need to repair in Season 9. Or does that have something to do with the cycle in the Dreaming City?
Season 10 is called “Scene”.
Season 11 is called “Deleted”.
After Season 11, Year 4 is on the roadmap.
In another camera angle, it is clear that the roadmap extends to Year 7 on the whiteboard. However, the names of these years cannot be deciphered clearly.
Is Destiny 2 really going to last 5 more years? Years 4 to 7 might also refer to new Destiny installments, but then they shouldn’t be called “Year 4” etc. The Destiny franchise is already a few years older, and the 4th year and the following years refer to the years after the Destiny 2 launch.
Therefore, this roadmap apparently shows: Destiny 2 is running (at least) for 7 years, so now another 5 – Shadowkeep kicks off year 3.
What does the community say about this? On reddit, people are equally surprised and excited by this news: “Up to seven years of Destiny 2? My God, 7 years of Destiny 2,” one exclaims. Another guardian finds this great. This way, Bungie can create high-quality content rather than piecing something together quickly for Destiny 3.
They want to create something alive
What does Bungie say about this? In the ViDoc, it is repeatedly stated that Destiny 2 is to become something that is alive and continuously evolving. With Shadowkeep, they aim to deliver content for players who love the game. They want to show what direction Bungie is taking with Destiny 2 – where the further guardian journey is headed.
Luke Smith says: “Hey, we’re back, and this is the 5-year plan for the game” – which likely confirms the information from the upper whiteboard.
Shadowkeep will prepare Destiny for the next big changes. Destiny 2 is to become a world where players feel that their actions and those of the global community drive the Destiny universe forward in meaningful ways.
The vision for the game: To be a great action MMO, set in an ever-evolving world that you can enter with your friends everywhere.
This is what Smith says about future expansions: Every year, there will be an “expansion set” like Shadowkeep, which will bring four subsequent seasons. The expansions serve as an anchor that sets the new story part. Growth, evolution, and change of these new situations occur during the seasons. The seasons are story-connected.
It’s about a universe, Smith says, that is dynamic, that evolves and that gives you memories. Then you can say: “I was there when …”
This is what Bungie says about the upcoming seasons:
In the Season of the Undying, Season 8, it is about the Vex launching an invasion from the Black Garden. They fall upon the moon, and you must stop them.
In Season 9, things will begin to build on Season 8
And in Season 10, it is supposed to get quite intense. When Bungie talks about it, scenes featuring Rasputin, the Warmind on Mars, can be seen.
In Season 11, everything will come together – and according to Bungie, you won’t want to miss that. There’s never been anything like it before.
Shadowkeep is now a cornerstone for significant changes upon which many things will build. Luke Smith ends by asking, “Are we done?” and answers himself directly: “We’re not even close.”

What do we know about Destiny 3? Bungie has not officially said a word about Destiny 3 yet. Previous rumors all stem from leaks.
But according to recent statements, it strongly seems that Destiny 2 will be relevant for many years to come. A “Destiny 3” was not on the roadmap for the next 5 years. In previous months, the developers repeatedly assured that they are far from being done with Destiny 2.
Antares is a complex and highly ambitious sandbox MMORPG currently in development, created using SpatialOS technology.
What is Antares Open World? The game is described as “the concept & modeling of a morphogenetic procedural multi-domain field environment based on connectionist approaches of sub-symbolic type on an AOW-based IDE for world simulations.”
Not understood? No worries. Antares Open World (AOW) simply aims to be a groundbreaking, complex strategy-sandbox MMORPG set in a vast, simulated world that players can alter.
You find yourselves in the world of Antares, where nothing is as it seems. Reality and perception are far apart. Therefore, it is necessary to always be on guard. You cannot trust anyone and must uncover the secrets of the world, which may even lead to rewriting the history.

What makes the MMORPG special? AOW is extremely ambitious and offers interesting features. These include:
You can manipulate and alter the world and the objects within it
Animals and plants create an ecosystem that promises a lifelike world
Your decisions affect you and the world. You have to live with the consequences
The soul plays an important role, as through it you can “outsource” character values to trick death
When you are offline, you can assign tasks to your character so it continues to develop in your absence
Additionally, the game breaks with several elements that are usually common in the genre. These include:
no grinding mechanisms
no random events
no global auction houses
no health bars
no levels
no classes
no names above characters (tags)
no name changes
no classic chats or interfaces
no quest markers
no interaction markers
no teleportation (waypoints)
Developer Jan Ohlmann explains that the title is not for casual gamers; he plans to make Antares Open World one of the most complex MMORPGs ever.
How will the game be realized? The SpatialOS technology from Improbable will be used, enabling the creation of and management of huge online worlds.
What is the status of the MMORPG? AOW is in a very early stage of development. The team is currently looking for staff to help realize the extremely ambitious vision for the game. It will take quite some time before AOW is in a truly playable state.
Furthermore, the developers are planning a Kickstarter campaign to finance the game. There is currently no date for the crowdfunding.
Is the game overly ambitious?
What are the dangers? AOW sounds extremely ambitious. However, the team behind it is still quite small, and a planned Kickstarter campaign implies that funding options are being sought.
In Pokémon GO, the raid hour with Mewtwo has surprisingly been canceled for today. It was supposed to take place this evening, on September 18.
What is the raid hour? This event regularly takes place in Pokémon GO. For one hour, a legendary raid appears at almost every gym, and you can battle it for an hour.
In fact, such an event was already announced for today, but Niantic has now canceled the raid hour with Mewtwo.
Players from New Zealand reported this morning that no legendary raids appeared during their raid hour with Mewtwo. After the raids finally arrived with over an hour delay, many trainers had already gone home.
First trainers from Australia, where the raid hour starts after New Zealand, reported early Mewtwo raids. The raids appeared without an egg beforehand.
Now it seems Niantic has pulled the emergency brake and postponed the raid hour.
When will the event be repeated? So far, nothing is known about this. It is only said that the raid hour should be made up for at a later date.
This could cause difficulties: Mewtwo is only available in raids until next Monday, September 23. If Niantic wants a repeat during this period, they need to hurry.
Can you still battle Mewtwo? Even though there were difficulties during the raid hour, Mewtwo remains in the legendary raids.
So anyone who wants to raid actively can continue to battle Mewtwo. Only the raid hour has been postponed.
