German streamer discovers the most evil woman on Twitch – is speechless

The German streamer Sebastian “Rewinside” Meyer has been creating content on YouTube and Twitch for 10 years. He has seen it all, but there’s one streamer he can’t handle: Talyor_Jevaux is somewhat like “Amouranth in evil.” She appeared in a live stream on Twitch in a latex suit, but most of the time she is not visible at all.

Who is the streamer?

  • Rewinside is a successful German content creator with 1.7 million followers. He has been on the Twitch platform since 2013. Last year, he ranked 150th among German Twitch streamers based on viewing hours.
  • In the last 365 days, Rewinside primarily showcased Minecraft, along with GTA 5 and CS:GO. He is also active in Just Chatting.
  • The streamer’s actual home is YouTube: he appears in many videos created in collaboration with people like Julien Bam or Trymacs.

Rewinside discovers a streamer who is just as big as he is – But completely different

Which streamer shocked him so much? On March 27, Rewinside showed a screenshot from a stream of Taylor Jevaux on Twitter: She is a Twitch streamer with 1.7 million followers. So she is just as big as he is on Twitch.

Jevaux describes herself as a model and video artist. She has a passion for video games, technology, fitness, and looking good.

The streamer is wearing a “latex bikini” in the screenshot. According to the description of her stream, she is doing the exercise “Jumping Jacks”.

The video includes how many bits the viewers should donate. At the moment of the screenshot, over 3,000 people are watching her.

Woman in full-body latex suit shocks Rewinside

What problem does he have with the streamer? Rewinside seems to be shocked at first, which is possible on Twitch. Twitch had established itself over the years as almost a pure gaming platform, but for about five years, the offering has expanded: Jevaux streams in the “Just Chatting” category, where no games are played.

Through the skin-tight latex costume, the streamer bypasses the rules for nudity. The image apparently falls under “cosplay” or “body painting”. Since no nipples are visible, it seems to be okay for Twitch.

But Rewinside seems to wonder why there is no penalty from Twitch, but rather that the streamer is balancing on the rules.

But the people on Twitter react much more calmly than the streamer: There are worse things, like Nazis or conspiracists. A viewer says: “With all the Nazis, we actually have bigger problems on Twitch than a woman’s breasts.”

And that seems to convince Rewinside. He concedes: He doesn’t find it bad either, he was just surprised at first.

Streamer is known for not being seen most of the time

Why is the woman considered so evil? The streamer “Taylor Jevaux” is known for a devious technique that has been analyzed and criticized by several websites.

  • The streamer is usually live for over 6 hours.
  • However, she is not visible in the stream most of the time, and you can only see an arm or hear her voice because the streamer spends a large part of the time out of the camera’s view.
  • According to a statistic, she was only actually visible on camera for about 3% to 20% of the time over 3 days in November 2022.

Streamer is considered the “biggest baiter” on Twitch with countdowns to nothing

The site Dexerto writes that countdowns run in her streams until the streamer reappears – But when the countdown is over, nothing happens.

During a 6-hour stream, the streamer is often only visible for a few minutes, while viewers spend the rest of the time waiting for her to show up.

One website calls the streamer the “biggest baiter” on Twitch, while another speaks of “terrible tactics” and advises not to watch her streams at all. Those who find the streamer so fascinating should rather follow her on YouTube.

So Rewinside was apparently lucky to even catch her.

The strange thing is: Although watching the streamer seems incredibly frustrating, her strategy seems to be working. Apparently, Taylor Jevaux is extremely successful with her devious scheme.

With her appearance, she seems to be competing to be the most evil streamer on Twitch. This unofficial title was held until recently by “InvaderVie”. She once sweetly told her viewers not to be so fussy and to throw money at her, even though she had just lost her job. Being broke was no excuse.

It’s likely that Taylor Jevaux, like Amouranth, does not make most of her money from Twitch, but from other projects that she promotes through Twitch, Instagram, and Twitter. She has an OnlyFans account and also sells her own underwear on a site.

Destiny 2 now has NPC buddies who play better than you and can even kill bosses

In Destiny 2 there is an interesting new development: NPCs that can play the game for players. And often even more efficiently than the Guardians themselves. MeinMMO shows you how effective the new allies are and why the players find it quite amusing.

Which allies has Destiny 2 sent into the race? For a few seasons, the Vanguard has formed an alliance with the Cabal. This means Caiatl, the current Empress of the Cabal Empire, allows her troops to fight side by side with the Guardians. And that happens more and more often.

  • Since the Season of the Resurrected, the Empress’s Cabal forces have been supporting the Guardians. For the first time in the Psi-Ops Battlegrounds on the Moon.
  • In the Lightfall campaign, the Cabal troops defend the ominous Veil, the central object of the campaign, in an epic battle against the Darkness.
  • Now, in the current Season 20, the new Cabal allies can even be found in several places in the revised Strike “The Arms Dealer” – thus an active part of the playlist.

Sounds good. The only problem is that these allies either stand in the way or, in some cases, are even more effective than the Guardians themselves. They take away from the players the greatest pleasure, stealing the kill of the strike’s final boss right before their eyes.

Destiny 2: Lightfall – “Season of Resistance” trailer

Guardians only play second fiddle in Strikes now

Some Guardians are not happy about this, like the well-known Destiny 2 streamer Gladd. He complains on Twitter to Bungie that the new Cabal allies just stand in his way and that he can no longer play.

Contrary to Gladd’s streamer luxury problems, other Guardians in Destiny 2 recognize a much more important issue with the support from Caiatl’s troops, as player SneakyBeaver.

If NPCs now coldly steal the kills from players, even with precision skills that even outshine Cayde-6, then it effectively costs players their points. In the worst case, one might miss the successful strike completion of 130,000 points and need another run.

Accordingly, SneakyBeaver replied to Gladd with a comment, stating:

I actually had the opposite problem. I was trying to farm points and the Cabal allies take away your kills and you don’t get points if you didn’t shoot [the enemies] [yourself].

remarks SneakyBeaver to Gladd on Twitter

You can see how efficiently Caiatl’s troops operate on the “Grandmaster” difficulty level in this video clip:

There’s not much left for the Guardians from the final boss

In the strike “The Arms Dealer” in the European Dead Zone, playing Destiny 2 has almost become an automated process for the playing Guardians, allowing them to only do emotes.

The Cabal are meanwhile aggressively attacking their relatives and inflicting damage without pause. Thus, the Guardians have no choice but to watch the commotion from the sidelines and wonder why they suddenly play just second fiddle in Destiny 2.

Real help or annoying blockade? While Gladd feels blocked, there are other players who still find the new NPC allies useful.

Especially for solo players or players who struggle to manage certain activities, Caiatl’s troops could indeed be a welcome support. After all, their high effectiveness helps in overcoming difficult tasks and reducing playtime.

We would be interested in your opinions and experiences with the NPC troops. Are they no problem for you or are they just as annoying to you in the strike “The Arms Dealer” as they are to Gladd? Feel free to leave us your thoughts on the topic in the comments.

If you prefer to do something without Cabal support – how about farming resources?

5 Mounts from WoW Dragonflight that you can easily farm

There are many fancy mounts in World of Warcraft. We show you 5 mounts from Dragonflight that you can earn quickly.

In World of Warcraft Dragonflight, a major focus has been placed on the ability to customize your character to your desires. This naturally includes plenty of mounts from which you can choose a favorite for various journeys.

Even though dragons are primarily used on the Dragon Isles, a large collection of mounts is still useful. After all, the animals can be used as ground mounts in many dungeons, and in the old world, they can be used freely.

In this guide, we present to you 5 fancy mounts from WoW Dragonflight that you can all farm with relatively little effort.

1. Stormhide Salamanther

Time required: 10-15 minutes

At the beginning of the expansion, the Stormhide Salamanther required quite an effort. Farming a whopping 2,000 Elemental Overflow could turn out to be a multi-hour task. After all, you could only farm Elemental Overflow from a few enhanced mobs during a storm.

However, that has changed. Since patch 10.0.7, you can enter the Forbidden Island and will be showered with Elemental Overflow everywhere. Even simple mobs sometimes drop several dozen of it. If you look at the map and help defeat the rare elite enemies, then there’s even over 1,000 Elemental Overflow for each kill.

In other words: You only need to defeat 2 rare enemies on the Forbidden Island to afford the Salamanther mount.

You can buy the Stormhide Salamanther in Valdrakken from the vendor “Mythressa”. She is located at coordinates 38 / 38.

2. Temperamental Skyclaw

Time required: 10 minutes to 2 hours

The Temperamental Skyclaw is technically one of the riddle mounts from Dragonflight. However, the riddle was relatively quickly figured out, so shortly after launch, many players walked around with this mount.

The nice thing about this mount is that you don’t have to farm anything for it, as long as you have a few hundred gold pieces saved up. Because all the necessary items for this riddle can be easily purchased from the auction house. Usually, they are offered by the hundreds, as they drop during the leveling phase – albeit rarely in the required quantity. You need:

  • 20x Flashfrozen Meat
  • 20x Gnolan’s House Special
  • 20x Tuskarr Jerky

Travel with these items to the Azure Span to the troll Zon’Wogi, at coordinates 19 / 24. Offer him the various items – and just like that, the mount changes ownership to you and becomes a loyal companion!

3. Verdant Skitterfly

Time required: Random

WoW Mount Guide Verdant Skitterfly

The Verdant Skitterfly is relatively easy to obtain, but requires a lot of prior work. It is necessary that you have already reached Renown level 25 with the Dragonflight Expedition – the maximum.

Once this requirement is met, you can find the Verdant Skitterfly in any of the original areas of Dragonflight – specifically in the “Expedition Scout Packs”. These are the small backpacks that you can find all over the Dragon Isles.

The handy thing is that the small bags are displayed on the minimap, so you can often simply fly from one pack to the next.

Note that you should ideally not have shovels in your inventory, as this will also display the “disturbed earth”, which only increases your farming time.

The chance for the mount is quite low, but you can farm it conveniently on the side since you will encounter the Expedition Scout Packs from time to time. Sooner or later, the mount will be yours!

4. Zenet Hatchling

Time required: A few minutes

WoW Mount Guide Zenet Hatchling

The Zenet Hatchling is obtained from a rare enemy. The special thing here is that the corresponding rare mob “Zenet Avis” always drops this mount 100% of the time – for each character involved in the kill!

The mount is not dropped directly, but in the form of a “Zenet Egg”. You just have to leave the egg in your inventory for 7 days (it doesn’t matter if you are online or offline) and then the pretty bird hatches, who will serve as your mount thereafter.

You can find “Zenet Avis” in the Ohn’ahra Plains, at coordinates 32 / 64. Note that the bird flies a few meters elevated above the ground, so it is not on the ground level.

Another tip: If you don’t spot Zenet Avis, try it in War Mode (or in No War Mode if it has already been active). You can activate this in Valdrakken. War Mode and No War Mode are counted as two separate “instances” and can have different rare enemies active. It can be worthwhile to check both modes.

5. Lizi’s Reins

Time required: 5 days at 5-10 minutes each

WoW Mount Guide Lizi

Lizi’s Reins is one of the easiest mounts to obtain, as you only need to complete a small quest chain and have achieved at least Renown level 9 with the centaurs of Maruuk. Additionally, you must have completed the quest line “Initiate’s Outing” in the Ohn’ahra Plains.

The only “difficulty” is remembering to continue the quest chain. Because each day you can only complete one step of the quest. But don’t worry if you miss a day – you can always resume right where you left off.

Before starting the quest chain, you should go shopping at the auction house, as the quest chain requires several materials. However, these are offered for just a few gold pieces and should not pose a problem:

  • 20x Fluorescent Liquid
  • 20x Fiber-rich Leaf
  • 10x Thousandbite Piranha
  • 20x Woolly Mountain Fur

With these items in tow, travel to coordinates 56 / 77 in the Ohn’ahra Plains and speak with Initiate Radiya to start the quest chain. Day by day, you will need to complete different tasks until on day 5 you can receive the mount!

If you prefer mounts from Shadowlands, we also have 7 interesting mounts for you here!

A guy wants to smuggle 239 gaming processors and then makes a really stupid mistake at customs

A user wants to smuggle hardware worth nearly 50,000 euros past customs. However, it goes wrong. The airport police catch him and report the find.

The police at the airport are regularly confronted with strange ideas. For example, someone once tried to smuggle a knife in a laptop onto the plane.

Now, a man has come up with the idea of smuggling processors in large quantities past customs to China. However, he has not gotten far, as he behaved conspicuously.

Man caught due to strange behavior – police find processors

As colleagues from 3djuegos.com report, a man tried to evade customs control a few days ago. He used the green gate at the airport. In Germany, it says “Customs, Nothing to declare,” meaning you have nothing to declare.

However, his loose clothing and strange gait caught the attention of the security officers, who asked him to undergo a routine check. During the check, the security officers found 239 processors. All the CPUs were of the same model, namely the Intel Core i5-13400F. The popular mid-range CPU is currently available in stores for around 200 euros.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Not the first case of smuggling to China

It happens at regular intervals that people are caught trying to smuggle hardware past customs.

Just recently, someone was caught trying to transport 84 SSDs in an electric scooter to China. Again, the local authority was quite surprised by the ingenuity some people have.

With rising chip prices, it’s not surprising that many try their luck with hardware. There are heavy penalties for smuggling. For instance, PCGamer.com explains that such individuals face a “maximum penalty of 2 million dollars and a prison sentence of seven years,” as stated by the customs authority in Hong Kong.

During the boom of Bitcoin and co., some individuals even smuggled expensive graphics cards. Here, the Chinese authorities caught a gang with loot worth over 200,000 euros. This also shows what a great demand there was for such graphics cards back then:

ESO: Level up quickly for a short time & exciting rewards thanks to the Festival of Fools

What is the Festival of Fools? This is an event fitting for April 1st. It belongs to the events where there is also a 100% experience bonus. So if you have incomplete characters, you should take advantage of the XP bonus. The experience bonus can also be combined with potions and scrolls.

How exactly does XP farming work? You can learn more in our guide on how to earn a lot of experience (XP) in a short time.

How to participate in the Festival of Fools

If you have participated in the event in previous years, you can simply use the keepsake “Fool’s Pie” through your quick access. This grants you a 100% experience bonus for 2 hours.

Otherwise, head to one of the Fools’ pavilions in front of the capital of the starting areas (Dawn’s Watch in Stonefall, Vulkhel Watch in Auridon, or Daggerfall in Glenumbra). Speak there with a fool who has disguised himself as the leader of an alliance.

As a small help, you can receive the invitation quest for the Festival of Fools for free from the Crown Store. This will safely guide you to the Fools’ pavilion.

These rewards are available at the Festival of Fools

Look forward to the well-known rewards from the gifts for the Festival of Fools. You will receive these for completing a daily quest for the Festival of Fools. For the first such quest of the day, you will even receive a massive gift for the Festival of Fools.

These known rewards are waiting for you:

  • Festive Wondermaker
  • Cherry Blossom Confetti
  • Holiday Cake
  • Festive Furnishings
  • Provisioner Recipes for the Festival of Fools

But pay attention: It is advisable to only get the items from the Impresaria that you can only get from her. The other items can also be earned, and your event tokens may not be sufficient for everything.

In total, you can receive 3 x 8, so a total of 27 event tokens during the event. However, you can only have 12 event tokens at a time. So before you continue questing, it’s better to go to the Impresaria and exchange them for the special rewards that you can only get from her:

  • All three fragments for the Devoted Dancer NEW (companion):
    • Light Green Lily Leaves
    • Enchanted Silver Flute
    • Mystical Sheet Music
  • All three fragments for The Muse of Devotion (Personality):
    • Bottle with Silver Mist
    • Finely Crafted Wand of the Dancer
    • Pressing Lily Leaf Inserts

If you still have event tokens left, you can of course use them for anything else. Because who doesn’t know it, sometimes that one item just won’t drop.

How to get many rewards until the event ends

Do as many daily quests for the Festival of Fools as possible

To get as many rewards as possible, you should ideally complete all daily quests. You can also do the same quests with all other characters on the same day. However, do not expect much variety.

As an achievement hunter, you probably won’t get around this. Because you will also have to do activities multiple times for achievements related to the event. However, there are also some achievements that take place outside of daily quests.

So take a look through your records to see what’s still missing. But remember, ESO now has account-wide achievements.

Complete the daily event quests with your friends and guild members

The quests are simply more fun in a group, and you will of course also receive useful tips from other players or can fight through achievements together.

Additionally, you can share these daily quests within your group and thus complete them together in the same order.

Trade items with your community, friends, or guild

You will probably receive one or two rewards multiple times. But that’s not a problem, because you can easily trade with other players.

Special items in the Crown Store

For the Festival of Fools, there are some matching items available in the Crown Store for the next 8 days:

  • Personality: Jester – 1,000 crowns or 800 crowns if you have ESO+
  • House: The Princely Dusklight Palace
    • Furnished – 17,500 crowns
    • Unfurnished – 14,000 crowns
  • Headgear: Hat Package for the Festival of Fools – 700 crowns or 560 crowns with ESO+
    • Jester Hat and Mask
    • Butt Ears Jester Hat
    • Two-Toned Rooster Crest Hat
  • Event Token – 250 crowns

Are you looking forward to the Festival of Fools? What are your plans for the event? To stay up to date with ESO in the coming year, visit the ESO event ticker – This is how you get your rewards until the end of 2023. This post will be continually updated to keep you informed in the future.

New medieval MMORPG on Steam excites shooter fans – Focuses on huge battles

Anvil Empires is an upcoming MMORPG on Steam from developer SiegeCamp. They are also responsible for the shooter Foxhole and share many similarities, which is why the medieval MMORPG attracts its fans.

With Foxhole, SiegeCamp achieved success on Steam. The shooter places you as a soldier in a fictional world where a war has broken out, inspired by World War II. You become part of an army and take part in large battles.

Anvil Empires uses a similar principle, but is set in the medieval period. Users in the YouTube comments refer to it as “medieval Foxhole.”

Build your own town that you manage

What kind of game is this? Anvil Empires is not a shooter like Foxhole, but an MMORPG. You play in a medieval world where a war is taking place, and you are part of it. You play on PC via Steam.

Players build their own settlement, which gradually grows into a town. Similar to the strategy classic Age of Empires. There, you prepare for upcoming battles by crafting weapons and growing food.

Here you can see the trailer of the MMORPG:

Start video
Anvil Empires – Announcement Trailer for the Medieval MMORPG

Moreover, Anvil Empires focuses on additional content:

  • You travel on horseback on land but can also sail on ships at sea.
  • Players are encouraged to cooperate economically and establish supply depots and logistics chains. The economy will depend entirely on the players.
  • Along the way, you can raid villages.
  • Up to 1,000 players can participate in PvP battles simultaneously.

Shooter fans are excited

Under the trailer on YouTube, there are numerous users who are looking forward to Anvil Empires. Most of them have played Foxhole and can hardly wait to experience a similar scenario in another era.

We summarize a few of the comments here for you:

  • Nyanarchist: “I have long wished for a medieval game in the style of Foxhole where thousands of soldiers compete. Can’t wait.”
  • andrewmiller: “Looks great. Foxhole is also a fantastic game.”
  • CreepyBanana: “Finally, I can ambush farmers on the road as a bandit.”
  • Thekillerspartan716: “If done right and without a chaos of bugs, I see myself spending many hours on it.”
  • thehighhegemon: “So a medieval Foxhole. I’m excited.”

When will Anvil Empires be released? There is currently no release date for the MMORPG. Since the announcement trailer just came out, it may take a while. Information about the pre-alpha should be coming soon on their Discord server.

What do you think of the MMORPG? Do you want to try Anvil Empires when it comes out? Have you played Foxhole and are now looking forward to a similar game with a different setting? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!

Free MMORPGs: The 15 best free-to-play titles you can play in 2023

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.

Diablo 4 prevents you from creating absolutely ridiculous heroes – And that’s a good thing

In Diablo 4 you can finally decide how your hero looks. But Blizzard has determined that you do not have complete freedom in this regard. Some players are bothered by that. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus thinks it’s just right.

After the launch of the Open Beta of Diablo 4, I certainly spent 20 minutes creating my character. I love customizing every detail to make my hero appealing to me. That’s why I play MMOs.

In Diablo 4, there are plenty of customization options and each class already comes with a completely different appearance. However, there are people who complain about this.

Here, the Necromancer looks too skinny, the Barbarian is too much of a hulking figure, and Druids are way too heavy anyway. All kinds of complaints could be found especially in the first hours on Reddit and other platforms.

People wanted sliders, more detail settings, and to dictate how they look. However, Diablo 4 strictly prohibits this – and for good reason.

You can see how character creation looks in the video here:

Start video
Diablo 4: This is what character creation looks like

Crazy Dark Souls characters do not fit Diablo

By restricting what we can customize, Blizzard simultaneously sets a guideline for appearances. Meaning: No one can look like they simply do not fit into the world at all.

And that is fundamentally important for an MMO, even if Diablo 4 claims it is not one. There is a Shared World, which I, by the way, think is excellent, and other players regularly walk through the screen.

Even the crazy titles of Diablo 4 can disrupt immersion, so I don’t need anyone setting all sliders to the maximum to look as ridiculous as possible.

A game where this is often the case is Dark Souls. No matter which part: someone always looks as ridiculous as possible. And I always played offline because I didn’t want Sir Piggles (via Reddit) to come into my world, disguise as a chair, hit me, and then dance on my corpse.

I like the Shared World, but the characters there should also fit. Otherwise, the beautiful, dark atmosphere of Diablo is simply wasted.

The majority of appearance customization is handled later via Transmogrification:

Start video
Diablo 4: This is how the transmog system works

A few more options would be cool, but I’m satisfied

Admittedly, the restrictions are a bit too large. Four faces, a few hairstyles, and always the same hair colors can get monotonous over time. And at least a little control over body shape I would like to have.

Even as a stocky guy, I find Druids a bit too heavy, even if others like that. At least three body shapes for slim, medium, and robust would be cool. However, I wouldn’t really need that.

More on the topic
Player breaks into tears because her character in Diablo 4 looks just like her: “Thank you”
von Benedict Grothaus

Anyway, I mostly wear armor or run around as a werewolf or bear. And there are really cool armor and transmogs, especially with the shop offering new skins. I will certainly indulge myself there.

I find it more important that in OUR world, no one walks around who looks like they clicked “random” too often. Even if I fear that even with the Transmog someone will quickly find the best “clown skins” …

Nevertheless: thank you, Blizzard, for giving us freedoms, but not too many. The direction is just right. Here, Diablo 4 has only adopted the right things from Diablo Immortal:

PS Plus has shown the new free games for PS5 – But they can gladly keep the first one

As every month, MeinMMO editor Maik Schneider is eagerly looking forward to the new games from PS Plus Essential. One title has already been revealed earlier this time, and it’s even coming right on release. But “add to library” is really all he can do there.

On the first Tuesday of each month, the new games from PS Plus Essential arrive. Typically, the new games are unveiled the Wednesday before:

While leaks in the past months have usually let us know about games earlier, Sony has ensured this time that at least one title is already known: Meet Your Maker.

Ever since the first presentation of the game, I thought, “This won’t be good”.

I was at a roundtable interview with the developers, who are also responsible for the asymmetrical horror hit Dead by Daylight. I then presented a new dating sim by the DbD developers and not Meet Your Maker – that probably says it all.

Why the title makes me so skeptical, I explain below. Here is the PlayStation trailer for the Day-1 release:

Start video
Meet Your Maker: Release Trailer

Meet Your Maker – Hardly More Niche

The game is basically a mix of Mario Maker in gameplay and Doom in setting.

On one hand, you as a “Builder” create levels for other players that they should not survive. For this, you have many objects available to create environments, as well as traps and monsters to which you can assign specific movement paths.

On the other hand, there are the “Raiders”, who are not deterred by a few difficulties and try to complete the creative murder constructions of the builders. Raiders can assemble loadouts and choose different weapons and perks.

Certain progress is supposed to motivate both sides – Raiders unlock new equipment, Builders receive building resources and new toys for their “Outposts”.

All of this takes place in an apocalyptic setting that doesn’t take itself too seriously – as the trailer already wants to show, with its humorous approach. Additionally, a season system is planned, which is supposed to bring more content to the game.

meet your maker funny outpost
A “Outpost” in Meet Your Maker with creative masonry.

I am a big fan of Mario Maker. A platform with the potential to create endless Mario levels – a dream for all jump’n’run grinders who like to spend dozens of attempts on a difficult level.

But Mario is legendary, brings nostalgia with it and reminds of childhood. With Meet Your Maker, I am already deterred by the setting and the visuals. Additionally, the game mechanics are too complicated, and especially when building, you don’t really get that “gameplay kick” that provides satisfaction.

In my assessment, there are hardly any players who, at first glance, say: “Wow, this game will keep me busy all April.” This is, however, an important requirement if one wants to achieve long-term success with a service game.

The first weeks are crucial for building a player base, which is why the decision for PS Plus at launch is fundamentally good. However, it can also be a signal that the developers have already seen in their analyses that the target audience for Meet Your Maker is rather sparse.

I will stay away from the game unless someone from my multiplayer crew comes up to me and asks me to try their Outpost. Colleague Phillip Elsner from GameStar sees this differently, by the way, if you want to read a counter-statement (via GameStar).

The developers Behaviour Interactive have landed a massive surprise hit with Dead by Daylight, which still brings many players together and provides a strong financial foundation for the studio.

The self-confidence from this success apparently led to Meet Your Maker, in which they want to repeat this feat – leading a niche game to great success.

What I like about Meet Your Maker is the involvement of players in the game world. You create parts of the gameplay yourself, feel a certain connection to the game. To this day, I am proud of my only built level in Mario Maker.

However, Meet Your Maker is already visually not aimed at a wide audience and remains very niche in gameplay as well. For me, once again, a game from PS Plus Essential that they can happily keep.

However, I am also interested in your opinion about the game. Discuss with me in the comments about the new Meet Your Maker.

10 Tips on How to Effectively Farm the Most Important Resources in Destiny 2: Lightfall

Since Lightfall, Destiny 2 now has only 3 essential currencies that players need repeatedly to enhance their gear and acquire resources. MeinMMO shows you how to effectively farm these since Season 20 to always indulge in abundance.

What are the 3 materials? For the DLC Lightfall, Destiny 2 has heavily revamped its material economy because it had become too confusing. Until then, there were a multitude of planetary materials that made the game overwhelming for new and returning players.

So, the number of the most important materials or currencies was reduced to 3: Glimmer, Enhancement Cores, and Legendary Shards. They now serve as the 3 cornerstones of the general economy in Destiny 2.

  • Glimmer is the currency most commonly used in Destiny 2, needed for just about everything from buying weapons to armor to infusing.
  • Enhancement Cores are required for forging Masterwork gear or purchasing Upgrade Modules, making them necessary for item performance upgrades.
  • Legendary Shards are remnants of powerful items and are also used to enhance gear or exchanged for other items.

It is important that you always have enough of these top 3 currencies on hand, and our guide explains how to effectively farm each of these resources in Destiny 2: Lightfall right now – including some valuable tips.

How to farm Glimmer, Enhancement Cores, and Legendary Shards in Destiny 2

[toc]

Glimmer

Glimmer is needed for almost everything in Destiny 2. It is basically the currency of the Last City, and a Guardian almost needs it daily. Fortunately, it is not particularly hard to obtain Glimmer and there are many ways to do so.

Use your Ghost as a Glimmer Booster

This booster in your Ghost is worth a lot of Glimmer

Your Ghost in Destiny 2 can not only revive you. It also has some practical additional functions, like increasing your Glimmer yield through mods. If you need Glimmer, it is worth using the mod “Ultimate Glimmer Booster” in your Ghost. This grants you a permanent 65% increase in Glimmer yield from all sources – no matter what you do.

Now you can focus on all other sources for Glimmer and benefit doubly.

Find chests and planetary destination resources

In the open world of Destiny 2, you can repeatedly find chests and planetary destination resources. Especially the chests always grant you between 500 and 1000 Glimmer.

You can find chests with Glimmer and items on every destination world in Destiny 2

Use the Glimmer Booster in your Ghost and also equip the 4-slot “Treasure Hunter” mod. It detects the caches within a radius of 50 meters for you to find them faster. Meanwhile, you can also complete other activities, like patrols or public events.

Complete Heroic Public Events

The Heroic Public Events are currently the best source for a lot of Glimmer. They occur regularly, everywhere, and are quickly completed.

Even without the mods mentioned above that boost your yield, you can quickly gather a large amount of Glimmer with the help of Public Events. The important thing is to play them heroically. Otherwise, it’s not really worth it, as this list shows:

  • If you play a Public Event normally, that is, without triggering it heroically, you receive between 3,300 and 4,645 Glimmer upon completion.
  • However, if you trigger the heroic variant, which only requires a slightly higher effort, you can receive between 10,000 and 12,500 Glimmer from a Public Event.
  • With an additionally active “Ultimate Glimmer Booster” in your Ghost, you can then retrieve about 14,000 Glimmer per event.

How to trigger every Public Event in Destiny 2 is explained in our “Don’t Be a Noob” guide:

von Sven Galitzki

Make it rain Glimmer

Now let’s talk about the first little helper that can drop randomly and also literally cause a passive Glimmer rain. This includes “Rainmaker”.

Rainmaker item: Precision kills cause extra Glimmer to rain

This item usually drops randomly when dismantling weapons or armor and lands in your inventory. You should always have it activated while playing and needing Glimmer. The effect of Rainmaker lasts for 4 hours and ensures that your precision kills have the chance to drop extra Glimmer.

If you have this option active, you can also dive into Strikes or Battlegrounds and always benefit from an increased Glimmer yield.

The beta of Diablo 4 is over: Will you buy the game?

Last weekend, all interested players were able to try out the open beta of Diablo 4. How did it influence your purchasing decision?

You can vote here: Let us know in the survey tool below whether you will buy Diablo 4.

Have you pre-ordered already, or are you staying away from the game after the beta? Are you waiting to see how opinions will be about the endgame after the release? Or do you want to wait for a sale because otherwise the game is too expensive?

Share your reasons in the comments and have fun voting!

These reactions to the beta are: The general mood in the community seems to be predominantly positive after the two beta weekends. In the surveys conducted on MeinMMO and our sister sites GameStar and GamePro, the beta is rated as “good” or “very good” by the majority of users.

The gameplay, the dark and brutal world, as it should be in Diablo, and the fun classes received high praise. Even in the beta, some players were able to put together extremely strong builds for their characters with which they could even defeat the world boss Ashava solo, even though it only went up to level 25.

However, there was also criticism, and it was sometimes very harsh. Many of you found the dungeons too monotonous and repetitive, a criticism that arose during the first test. There are also ongoing concerns about the endgame and the cash shop, the exact contents and prices of which remain unknown.

Some of you also do not understand why, in a full-price game for which you already have to pay €70, there is also a shop and battle pass for which you are additionally asked to pay.

What was your opinion on the beta and how did it influence your purchasing decision?

Complaining Wednesday: WoW and the Ring of Developer Mistakes

WoW demon Cortyn complains about the new Onyx Ring. It is, after all, a constant “up and down” – and shows considerable chaos.

Patch 10.0.7 has been live in World of Warcraft for a week now and most of the new features are well received. The Forbidden Isle is entertaining, the Vaults of Zskera are interesting, and one or two secrets keep puzzle lovers busy. But the core feature, which should be interesting for all players, has sparked many discussions, doubts, and disillusionment.

Or simply put: I find it absolutely incomprehensible how the Onyx Ring could launch in such a disastrous state.

To bring everyone up to speed: The Onyx Ring is a “quasi-legendary” because it can be imbued with different effects. From more than 20 different effects, you can combine 3 of your choice to squeeze more performance out of the character – at least in theory.

I really understand that you can’t fully test everything on a PTR. Really. But that the Onyx Ring was released in a state where some specializations could clearly say “The Onyx Ring at level 424 is worse than a ring at level 372,” is just silly. It’s not even “close but missed the target,” it’s miles away.

WoW Ring Human Beg titel title 1280x720
The Onyx Ring – now quite strong, but still confusing for many.

All of this could have been avoided. Yes, I sound a bit like Cpt. Hindsight, who always knows better in retrospect – but I really don’t understand how the Onyx Ring could go live last Wednesday.

The ring is highly customizable but has a major drawback: it lacks secondary stats like mastery, haste, or critical strike rating. Anyone who equips the ring loses about 6% – 8% spread across 2 secondary stats. This is particularly devastating for specializations that scale heavily with these secondary stats. It just feels wrong to equip the “new super ring” and then realize that your character is now casting much slower or that the crits are significantly weaker.

What Blizzard messed up was the initial excitement at the launch of a new patch. Because the anticipation of the “cool overpowered ring” was greatly dampened when many classes found out that it wasn’t as cool and overpowered for them, and only a handful of specializations really benefited from it.

WoW Jaina Onyx annulet multiple titel title 1280x720
Many players carry several rings – and switch them for each boss.

Yet the rules and goals of the ring were so clearly defined:

  • All characters should look forward to the ring.
  • It should be extremely strong for the rest of the current season.
  • Shortly after the start of season 2, most players should replace it.

If you had this goal clearly in mind, you could have just gone “Yolo” and given the ring strong secondary stats along with the primordial stones. Maybe weaker than in the current variant, but in combination with secondary stats, there would have been no discussion about its usefulness at all.

Just to emphasize that again: The “lifespan” of this ring is limited to probably 8 to 10 weeks. Blizzard wants the ring to play virtually no role in season 2. Therefore, it would have been easy to make the ring strong and attractive enough that everyone immediately feels a clear improvement.

On the positive side, it can be noted that Blizzard reacted very quickly and made multiple adjustments to almost all sockets within 3 days. In some cases, the values were raised by a relaxed 72% (via wowhead).

But the fact that the “launch momentum” of the ring was messed up led to the initial excitement about the ring often being stifled in its infancy, leaving frustration behind. Because the numerous buffs caused certain powers to become very strong, which one would have completely avoided before. This is particularly annoying when you have dismantled corresponding stones, only to hear later: “By the way, this is now your best-in-slot – have fun farming again!”

At the same time, the Onyx Ring has brought complexity that is detrimental to the overall gaming experience. Because the ring is so varied in its power that you often find yourself in situations where it’s said: “So in a fight against 2 mobs, the ring is really good. In a fight against 3 enemies, you better take another. And in a fight against 4 or more enemies, then another completely different one.”

Instead of simply looking forward to the ring, for many it now feels like they just got another set of “talent points” that are primarily one thing: annoying. That’s why many players now have 3 or 4 Onyx Rings in their inventory to switch them out for every boss.

Blizzard has proven that they can actually do better with Dragonflight. The quick reactions are certainly good – but healthier for the game would have been if there hadn’t been anything to respond to in the first place.

  • Scout Specialist: Scouts take out enemies from a distance with a sniper rifle and can ping nearby enemies and chests. 
  • Artillery Specialist: Thanks to their explosive weapons, artillery specialists can make things fly up with a loud bang! They can also take more damage than other specialists. 
  • Supply Specialist: Supply specialists leave ammunition and materials for you (Note: In “No Building” mode, you won’t receive materials from them).
  • Medic Specialist: Hired medics heal you with drink packs that restore your health and shields. 

Super Styles have been unlocked: Players who are now over level 125 can unlock more skin styles for “Thunder”, “Imani”, “Renzo the Destroyer”, “Mizuki”, and “High Voltage”.

All skins that receive super styles

Sensitivity When Building and Editing

In V.24.10, options for sensitivity in building mode and sensitivity when editing were added to the “Mouse and Keyboard” settings in Fortnite. Thanks to these new options, you can now set the sensitivity when building or editing buildings to your desired speed.

OTHER UPDATES 

  • The turning radius of the vehicle “Rogue Motorcycle” has been improved at higher speeds.
  • Note: Epic has made some minor adjustments to reduce power consumption on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The frame rate in the lobby is now lowered to 30 FPS when you haven’t been active for a while, but will be raised back to 60 FPS once you touch the controller or join a match.

COMPETITION NOTES 

  • The chickens and eggs from Freaky Spring as well as the Egg Launcher and the reality expansion “Spring Gift” are not available in competitive game modes.
  • “No Building” cups, Duo Cash Cups, and Victory Cups will start this week. Good luck, competitors!

IMPORTANT BUG FIXES 

  • A bug was fixed that caused players to be prompted to install Save the World, even though the game was already installed.
  • A bug was fixed that prevented the owner of a kinetic blade from taking fall damage when using “Knockback Strike”. (Note: “Sprint Attack” still prevents fall damage.)
  • A bug was fixed that caused some mobile devices to be limited to 60 FPS, even though 90 FPS was available.
  • The grind rail interaction button no longer has a delay on mobile devices.
  • A bug was fixed that caused Epic Games to temporarily disable zip lines in Party Royale. Zip lines are now available again in Party Royale.

Fortnite: Server Down – When and how long are they offline?

This is the downtime in the morning: According to Epic Games, the servers are expected to be shut down at 10:00 AM German time to install a hotfix. Matchmaking is already disabled 30 minutes prior, so you won’t be able to search for new rounds from 9:30 AM.

When can you play again? This is a major update. It is therefore likely that Epic Games could bring the servers back online at 11:00 AM or even at 1:00 PM. However, this is not confirmed.

We will update this post as soon as a start time is known or if we have new information.

When will the patch notes be available? Epic Games usually releases a short list of patch notes on their page after the update. If that happens, we will summarize them here for you in a clear and concise manner.

What content could be coming with Update 24.10?

Epic Games reveals hardly any new information about upcoming content before a new update. Trustworthy leakers like Shiina have been keeping an eye on the hidden data for quite some time and know approximately what players can expect this time. You can expect the following:

  • New cosmetic items
  • An Easter event
  • New augments
  • The crew pack for April
  • A new “Smart Pistol” weapon?
  • More content for the battle pass and new collaborations

First (leaked) images of the content were shown by Shiina in the tweet:

Amazon: My absolute favorite gaming keyboard is currently available for 90 euros and it is (almost) unbeatable for the price

The Roccat Vulcan 121 is currently available in the Amazon Spring Deals for just under 90 euros. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann explains why the keyboard is (almost) unbeatable for the price.

Update: 30.03: The offer is valid even after the Spring Deals. Currently, you only pay 84.99 euros.

A good gaming keyboard accompanies you daily in your everyday life. With the Vulcan 121 from Roccat, there is currently one of my favorites on offer on Amazon. You are currently paying only 89 euros for the gaming keyboard with wrist rest.

Why I can recommend this keyboard without hesitation in 2023 – especially at this price – you can read in this article.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Roccat’s Vulcan is also a real recommendation for 90 euros in 2023

What kind of keyboard is this? Roccat focuses on a playful design and consistently high-quality workmanship with its Vulcan keyboards. The Vulcan 121 is no exception. And you have to like the playful, open design of the Vulcan series.

In fact, I ultimately bought the keyboard because of its great design. The fact that the Vulcan 121 is one of my absolute favorites is not due to the design, but to the switches under the keys. Roccat uses its own Titan switches. And I personally really like the tactile, brown Titan switches. I find them excellent for typing.

The combination of good workmanship, pleasant haptics, and great typing feel makes the keyboard an effortless recommendation for me. Especially since Roccat has addressed the issue with the peeling keycaps.

Heavy typers would probably prefer keyboards with blue switches, but I have felt the most comfortable on brown switches for years because I absolutely need the clear pressure point of the brown switches, while blue ones are almost always too loud for me. If you are confused now: There is a guide to keyboard switches on MeinMMO.

Are there also disadvantages? Yes, and one of them is the keycaps. They get dirty quite quickly, but are still relatively easy to clean. Nevertheless, I am not a fan of cheap ABS keycaps that look terrible after a few days. Another disadvantage is the rigid and non-removable cable. However, in the TKL and mini variant, it is removable. The successor again failed to make the cable removable.

Is there a successor to the Vulcan 121? I have also been able to test the successor, the Roccat Vulcan II MAX, for MeinMMO. Why this keyboard is really good, but loses valuable rating points in the details, you can read in the following article:

Diablo 4’s Chief says there are more and crazier Legendarys at release – Promises: They are “perfectly balanced”

After the open beta of Diablo 4, Associate Game Director Joe Piepiora talks about the most important feature of the game: the loot. Diablo 4 changes how you acquire the best items, but at release, there should be many more legendaries than you have seen so far.

Here’s what the boss says: In a tweet, Piepiora explains that there are many more legendary powers than people think. He says: ‘There are many bizarre, exciting, and completely balanced legendaries to discover,’ with the balancing likely written with a wink.

In the response to a question, it is stated that not even half of the available powers can be found in the Codex of Power. This means that you must find most items yourself and are not guaranteed to receive them.

Shely did not mention specific examples, but we have already found some of these effects in the beta itself. You can find them, for example, in our class builds for Diablo 4.

However, if you are spoiled by the drop rates from the beta, you should not hope for legendary drops so early at release. You found legendaries much more easily during the beta.

We also spoke with Piepiora from MeinMMO, but there about the multiplayer of Diablo 4. We explain the feature here:

Start video
In Diablo 4 you can play with players from all over the world – All information about multiplayer

Diablo 4 changes how you get loot in an ARPG

How does loot work in Diablo 4? The Codex of Power is a new feature in Diablo 4. You receive certain legendary powers simply as a gift by completing dungeons and defeating their bosses.

These powers, or ‘aspects’, can then be forged onto rare items to make them legendaries. Codex powers are always the weakest variant of a legendary, so found loot is always better.

You can also extract aspects from legendaries through a new NPC, the occultist. This means: if you find a legendary whose effect you like, you can simply remove it and apply it to another item.

However, the aspects obtained this way are only usable once. Codex powers can be used as often as you like. One advantage of the system is that powers are not bound to individual equipment slots but are always applicable to different parts.

Can I reforge every power? No. In a personal interview with Game Director Joe Shely, we talked about the many legendaries, and he also confirmed that many unknown aspects are waiting for us. And legendaries that you might already know from before.

As an example, Shely mentioned the legendary gloves ‘Magefist’ from Diablo 3. Unfortunately, you cannot use these ‘unique items’ to transfer legendary aspects to other items.

However, aspects should always be usable, even if they do not appear in the Codex. The corresponding items do not have unique names. You can find more from the interview here:

Oops! Pokémon GO accidentally reveals the spring event with new Pokémon

In Pokémon GO the spring event is starting in a few days and the reveal has apparently been published too early. We will show you what the event brings.

Update from March 30: Now all content of the spring event is known, including spawns, raids, and costumes. Find out all the details here.

Continuing with the original message:

What happened by mistake? As a user reported on Reddit, he suddenly saw the announcement for the spring event in Pokémon GO in the game. He took screenshots of it and shared them with the community. Shortly afterwards, the announcement was removed from the game again. There is still no official blog post available.

We will show you the details of the event here.

Jump into Spring 2023: Start, Content, Bonuses

When does it start? The event begins on April 4 at 10:00 AM local time. It will be active until April 10 at 8:00 PM local time. Niantic has already confirmed these dates in the event overview for April 2023.

What is included in the event?

  • Raids: During the event, you should encounter Lugia* and the incarnate form of Thundurus in the raids. Both have a chance to be caught as shiny.
  • In Mega Raids, you will encounter Mega Lopunny.
  • New Pokémon: You can encounter Wommel for the first time as a new Pokémon. This Pokémon belongs to the bug and fairy types and originates from the 7th generation of games. You will also be able to encounter its evolution, Bandelby, in the wild. Niantic has already teased the release of the Pokémon.
  • Eggs: Riolu is hiding in the 2 km eggs.
  • Bonuses: The Easter event is naturally focused on eggs. Therefore, you will receive double the amount of candy for hatching eggs. In addition, eggs only need half the distance to hatch. Lucky Eggs activated during the event will remain active for one full hour.

Further content is expected in the blog post, which is currently still unavailable (as of March 29 at 10:14 AM). We will update this article with the new information once it becomes known.

That the spring event of Pokémon GO will take place during this time has already been announced by the developers in the overview of all events for April 2023. However, initially without details. Apparently, the news was published in the game too early and was not supposed to be readable until a later time.

Twitch: Killer Cat Deletes Progress of a Streamer in Hitman 3 with Deadly Precision

The Twitch streamer Stormfall33 was playing the stealth game Hitman 3, without realizing that the true killer was already in her room: Her cat Momo quickly took care of her progress.

What did the cat do? The Twitch streamer “Stormfall33” had just been nearly 3 hours deep into a run in Hitman 3’s freelancer mode. She paused the game to read messages in her chat when her cat Momo walked across her keyboard.

In doing so, the kitty managed to press just the right keys to end the run and nullify the entire 3 hours of progress.

What’s the problem? The freelancer mode was added earlier this year as a free update to Hitman 3 and gives the game a roguelike component. In 8 consecutive missions, the leaders of 4 criminal syndicates must be eliminated.

More on the topic
What are ‘roguelike’ games and why are they called that?
von Irina Moritz

In freelancer mode, every decision must be carefully weighed: Optional challenges promise additional loot, but they also come with a lot of risks. To successfully complete a run, one must meticulously manage their resources (via YouTube).

If a mission fails – or the cat walks across the keyboard – one has to start all over again.

Cat proves to be the final boss

How does the streamer react? When Stormfall33 sees the start menu light up on her screen, she takes a moment to realize what just happened.

When she becomes aware of the full extent, she groans and frustratedly bangs on the table before telling her cat to get lost and shut up.

The house cat clearly communicates with some indignant “meows” how he feels about this treatment and then leaves. You can watch a clip of the whole tragedy here:

Particularly shocked seems the streamer to be by the precision with which Momo acts: It almost seemed – fitting the game’s theme – like a well-thought-out attack on the streamer’s progress.

He literally stepped on my escape key and pressed the enter key. He closed my game. He left the mission! How did you do that?

Ultimately, the streamer took it all in stride, gritted her teeth, and started a new run.

Many cat owners have always somehow suspected that behind the fluffy facade lurks a ruthless killer.

A gamer realized this at the latest when his house cat dismantled his setup in his absence. Desperately, he turned to the community. There it was said: Owners should finally teach their cats some manners.

Men shamelessly lie about what they do in “The Sims” – “Actually, you redecorated the bathroom”

Rod Humble worked for years at EA and was involved in The Sims 2 and 3. According to him, many men lied during surveys about in-game activities.

In life simulations, you can do all sorts of things and test various lifestyles, no matter how far they are from real life.

According to Rod Humble, players need their privacy. In 2010, he finally left EA and is currently working on his own life simulation titled “Life by You”. In it, he wants to avoid collecting in-game data, unlike what is done in the Sims titles.

Surveyed individuals lied about killing and starving Sims

Humble recalls in a conversation with PCGamer about a focus group, a kind of playtest. Young men returned to the room, and Humble asked them what they had just done in “The Sims 3”.

They replied that they had killed people, let them starve, and had affairs with everyone in town. However, they didn’t know they were being watched while playing. “Actually, you just redecorated the bathroom,” one was told.

According to the director, it’s important to be able to experiment but then distance oneself from it.

Here you can see the trailer for Life by You:

Start video
Life by You – Announcement trailer for the new life simulation by Paradox Interactive

According to Humble, players sometimes want distance from their Sims

“When you hear us talking about playing a life simulation, we often switch between first and third person,” says Humble. He finds it important to adopt different perspectives to experiment without immediately identifying with the character being played.

In the upcoming title Life by You, it should be possible to switch to first-person perspective and control the character from their viewpoint. However, players can always switch back to third person and gain some distance.

Additionally, Humble reveals more details about gameplay in his interview with PCGamer: players should be able to customize the distribution of Sims via pie charts. They can decide which Sims have which skin color, gender, or sexual orientation.

For example, EA knows how many millions of “WooHoos” were made in The Sims 4 last year. The developers collect such and similar data, but Rod Humble wants to do without it. “It’s very important for this community nowadays to know that this is a private experience,” he explains.

WoW: You can have more than one Onyx Socket Ring – Here’s how it works

The Onyx Annulet is currently the optimum for many classes in World of Warcraft. You can even own several of them – we will reveal how that works.

Patch 10.0.7 brought many small, new features to the Dragon Isles of World of Warcraft. One of the most important of these is the Onyx Annulet. You can equip this ring with numerous different effects, making it the “non plus ultra” for most specializations.

But what many players completely overlook: You can have multiple Onyx Annullets and thereby make things easier for yourselves.

How can you have multiple Onyx Annullets? It’s quite simple. First, you need to retrieve the normal Onyx Annulet and the jewel cutter’s devices from the vault of Zskera. After that, you can visit the NPC “Researcher Imareth,” who is also located on the Forbidden Island in the village of Morqut, at coordinates 35 / 58.

Onyx Annulet Guide Researcher Imareth
Imareth sells you more Onyx Annullets if you need more.

Imareth not only sells new primal stones for the Onyx Annulet but also several more Onyx Annullets! Here you can purchase an additional ring for each 10 “Inactive Primal Fragment.”

Why should you have multiple Onyx Annullets? The answer is relatively simple: For different types of content or different specializations. Depending on whether you are more into “Mythic+” or raids and whether you prefer to play as a DPS character, healer, or tank, you will want to use different primal stones. Furthermore, you can only exchange the stones in your ring on the Forbidden Island. So if you switch roles, you would have to travel back to the island to adjust your ring.

Multiple rings are the solution here. You can prepare several rings and simply switch them along with your equipment or specialization. This way, you are prepared for every situation, and the long adjustment of the ring is no longer necessary.

How many Onyx Annullets do you have in your inventory?

Gamer buys new SSD, finds surprisingly 800 GB of data that is allegedly worth several thousand euros

A gamer bought a new SSD for his gaming PC. But he is quite surprised when he connects the SSD, as the storage medium is not that “new” at all.

Anyone who buys hardware in a store or on Amazon expects to actually receive new hardware. Normally unused and in original packaging.

A gamer has now bought a new external SSD for his gaming system. But it’s not that new. Because when he connects the model to his PC, he finds 800 GB of data from the previous owner on the device (via reddit.com). Among them are programs worth several thousand euros.

A lot of expensive music software is on the new hard drive

Why is it so valuable? The user himself explains that the SSD mainly contains software for instruments. But this software is quite valuable. Because especially professional software costs a lot of money.

Some explain that software like Superior Drummer and Kontakt are worth 400 euros each. Someone writes (via reddit.com):

“It’s not just some hundred GB, but several hundred, if not thousands of dollars, if the license files are present.”

Some warn against using it: Not the entire community is thrilled about it. Some warn that all this stuff looks like pirated software. And you never know if there might be viruses or other unpleasant surprises hidden in the files.

Moreover, the buyer should preferably check with software like CrystalDiskInfo how many operating hours the “new” SSD has already on its back. Most agree, however, that he should return the purchased storage medium.

A heavily used SSD has a significantly shorter lifespan than a brand new model.

New goods may have been opened already

You buy hardware or other items and then find out when opening the shipping box that the goods have already been unpacked. Then you most likely have caught what is known as a return. Customers have the right to withdraw from the purchase within 14 days in mail order.

“If the previous buyer only checked the device, it remains new,” explains the lawyer Helga Zander-Hayat from the Consumer Center North Rhine-Westphalia (via test.de). In such a case, the packaging may be dented or damaged. As a customer, there is not much you can do about it.

Other people order RAM on Amazon and receive way too much. While that initially sounds really good, the story is not that simple, you can read more on MeinMMO:
