The current final boss of World of Warcraft is getting nerfed again. A whopping 20% damage is being taken away from the Storm Eater.
That constant balancing is adjusted in the first weeks of a new expansion is normal. But only a few raids have received so many adjustments afterwards as the Vault of the Incarnates. Once again, the final boss Raszageth is under scrutiny on heroic and mythical difficulty. But there are also some nerfs scheduled in the “Mythic+” area. The changes are live now.
Nerfs for Raszageth
The current final boss of Dragonflight continues to cause problems. Especially on heroic and mythical difficulty, a single death in the early phases can already mean that the fight is a failure. This is now being changed and will occur less often. The damage from the boss fight is significantly reduced, and the DPS requirements for a particularly critical phase are lowered.
Raszageth (Heroic)
Chain Lightning deals 20% less damage.
Unstable Current deals 20% less damage.
Storm Surge absorbs 20% less damage.
The periodic damage from Remaining Charge has been reduced by 20%.
Raszageth (Mythic)
Chain Lightning deals 20% less damage.
Unstable Current deals 20% less damage.
Storm Surge absorbs 20% less damage.
Stormbolt of the Stormseeker Primalist deals 25% less damage.
The periodic damage from Remaining Charge has been reduced by 20%.
Fulminating Charge now slows players instead of rooting them. The tooltip will be corrected in a later patch.
In summary, the fight against Raszageth will therefore become significantly more forgiving, whether on heroic or mythical difficulty. Guilds that are currently struggling against the final boss may now receive the crucial push to defeat Raszageth before the release of Patch 10.0.7.
There are also some nerfs at the Azure Vault that will make the dungeon more enjoyable. These are:
The timer for completion on “Mythic+” difficulty is increased to 35 minutes and 30 seconds (previously 34 minutes).
The cooldown of the ability Sparkling Scales of the Chamber Guardians has been increased.
Azure Blade
The mana of Azure Blade drains over 60 seconds (previously 50 seconds).
Overall, the changes should ensure that the Azure Vault is completed more frequently within the time limit at higher levels. Not only do all have a few seconds more time, but some of the “most annoying” abilities that stretch fights have been weakened. This should give all groups a little boost who previously had issues here.
What do you think of the changes? Long overdue and sensible? Or is it time to stop with the adjustments?

For 23-year-old Elias “Upset” Lipp, the last few months in League of Legends have been a rollercoaster ride. The young man played fantastic LoL for Fnatic, yet was thrown out of the team and benched. Now, however, he has found a new team and is immediately back at the top of the league. With a KDA of 44.0, he leads the statistics, and his team is on a championship course.
This was the quirky situation of Upset:
The German ADC “Upset” made a name for himself at Schalke, later transferring to Origen. In 2020, he finally joined Fnatic as a young talent, replacing the legendary Rekkles.
He played for the team for 3 years and became the focal point of the team. As a cautious acting bot laner, Upset achieved fantastic statistics, repeatedly leading the rankings – he was considered the biggest talent in the bot lane in Europe, a top-tier player.
However, his team did not achieve the desired success and in 2022, Rekkles returned to Fnatic. Upset was benched. Although Fnatic played terribly without the German, Rekkles insisted on a starting position guarantee. Therefore, Upset could no longer play for Fnatic and was essentially redundant. He mainly streamed on Twitch thereafter.
This was now the turning point: After Rekkles had received his starting position guarantee, Upset finally transferred to Team Vitality, who needed a strong bot laner to relieve their star mid laner Perkz.
Team Vitality is a French project aimed at perhaps the biggest European star player, the Croatian Perkz. However, the project has not been functioning so far, every team combination fell short of expectations. Players were repeatedly swapped out.

3 games and not even dead once
How is it going for Upset now? Remarkably well. Team Vitality has won all of their first 3 games, including a stomp against Fnatic. With 22-3-49, they gave Fnatic no chance. Upset scored 5-0-9 on Xayah. Rekkles had 1-5-1 on Zeri. That was a thrashing.
Upset is playing outstandingly strong for Team Vitality:
After the first 3 games, Upset has a KDA of 44.0.
21 kills and 23 assists stand against 0 deaths.
The man hasn’t even died once.
He also receives high praise from his new mid laner. He writes: ‘Perkz farms in the middle and gets giga-carried by bot and the jungler. It’s like in Season 6 and I love it.’

After carrying the main burden of the team at Fnatic for years, he now has decent firepower around him at Team Vitality with Perkz in the mid lane, the German supporter Kaiser as his bot lane partner, and the Chinese mega-talent Bo in the jungle. The 21-year-old Bo also has a KDA of 44.0 after the first 3 games and has not died once either.
Upset and Team Vitality seem to be on course for the title and MSI.
His new jungler, Bo, has already experienced quite a bit in LoL despite his young age:
The huge forum “reddit” is offline on Tuesday evening, March 14th. The outage is worldwide. It started around 8:18 PM. The reason for the unexpected disruption is internal issues. We are monitoring the situation at MeinMMO and what reddit says about the outages.
Help, Tuesday evening is in danger. For many users in the gaming and tech cosmos, it is part of the evening ritual to check the platform reddit. But on March 14th, there have been problems since around 8:20 PM.
Those who want to access the platform find their browser freezing. Simply no page opens. This is not an individual problem with your PC or smartphone; the app simply isn’t working right now.
Even though reddit is responsible for a lot of positive things, the forum also has its downsides:
Problem occurred at 8:18 PM – Reddit has found the reason for the outage
What is the status of the problem?
Through the Twitter account “reddit Status”, the platform reported at 8:18 PM that they are currently investigating why reddit is offline. They are working on identifying the cause.
At 8:56 PM our time, the message came that reddit has identified the problem and is working on a fix.
The problem was apparently a bug in an “internal system.”

Tens of thousands report the outage of reddit on Tuesday evening
What are the effects of the outage? Reddit is known to be huge. Countless subcultures discuss their favorite topics on the platform: gaming, hardware questions, and events on the streaming service Twitch are also being discussed in the corresponding forums at a rapid pace.
You can see how many people are affected by the outage of reddit on Tuesday evening at the sites that deal with outages:
On the German site allestörungen there are already around 5,000 reports of an outage.
On the English equivalent downdetector, nearly 58,000 people are raising the alarm at peak times.

Update 9:19 PM: The current status of reddit shows “Major Outage” for the “Desktop Web” and “Mobile Web” apps. This is very rare. Both functions are actually online 99.9% of the time – based on the last 90 days.
Update 9:28 PM: The Twitter thread is becoming a replacement reddit. Just like on reddit
users are giving valuable tips (“Have you tried turning it off and on again”)
spotted around the area (“Did someone forget to feed the hamsters”)
or explaining why they urgently need reddit back (“I just thought of a good argument for the online discussion I was just in!”)
Update 9:30 PM: No official new message from reddit yet. We will report back at the latest by 10:00 PM with the latest status.

Update 10:53 PM: At 10:43 PM, reddit announced they have now identified a fix. However, “it will take some time” until the fix is implemented. In the meantime, users should remain patient.
An exact time for when the fix will come and when reddit will function properly again is not yet known.
Update March 15, 8:35 AM: Reddit reported last night at 1:41 AM German time that everything is back to normal.

The American Zack is the biggest MMORPG streamer on Twitch. In a stream on March 14, he ventured into the “Genshin Impact” category on Twitch and was promptly deceived by an apparently cute anime girl.
How did this situation arise? Asmongold became known as a WoW streamer but also deals with meta topics on Twitch and often reacts to content from Reddit during his streams. In a stream on March 14, he was just navigating his own subreddit when he came across a thread about the action RPG Genshin Impact.
In the post, a viewer brought up something that Asmongold had already addressed: the presence of Genshin Impact on Twitch does not correspond to the large community of the game, as there are hardly any big streamers (via reddit).
Asmongold promptly switched to the “Genshin Impact” category on Twitch to confirm the statements and watched the currently most viewed stream: “I don’t know if this surprises anyone, but the top streamer is a VTuber anime waifu.”
However, when he opened the stream, Asmongold was in for a surprise.

“Wait, this is a guy?”
What kind of streamer was that? Asmongold caught the stream of “OkCode,” one of the most viewed streamers of Genshin Impact (via sullygnome). OkCode is a Vtuber, so he does not show himself in streams but uses an animated avatar that reflects his facial expressions and movements.
However, OkCode is not a woman, which Asmongold quickly had to find out after he opened the stream and heard the streamer speak: “Wait, this is a guy?”
Why did OkCode look like an anime girl? Asmongold tuned into the stream at just the right moment, as OkCode was explaining that he could attract more viewers with a female model:
This chat [laughs]. I feel like by just switching to a female waifu model, I get way more views.
This is what OkCode usually looks like in his streams
OkCode was also pondering out loud about possibly doing a stream where he is not heard at all, uses a female avatar, and creates a suitable voice using artificial intelligence. “You should have done that!” Asmongold exclaimed.
The MMORPG streamer finally left the stream with the words: “That just ruined my whole day” and returned to his subreddit.

His viewers had little sympathy for the streamer and laughed at him in the chat for being lured in by a supposed anime girl: that one really got him good (via Twitch). Asmongold then didn’t want to hear any more explanations that OkCode normally streams with a male model.
In the past, Asmongold had dispelled the prejudice that he had something against Vtubers. In fact, he finds them quite clever because they attract their viewers with “hot anime girls”:
Veiled Experts (PC) is an upcoming tactical shooter on Steam, where campers have a particularly hard time. The final beta test will start this month.
What kind of game is this? Veiled Experts is a tactical shooter developed by Nexon Games, where two teams of 5 players each compete against each other, and it will be released as a free-to-play title on Steam.
In Veiled Experts, a variation of the “Search and Destroy” mode known to shooter fans is played, where one team must plant a bomb and the other team must defuse it.
Similar to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Valorant, you can also access a shop between rounds and purchase new equipment. You must also remain still when shooting to give bullets a better chance of hitting.
The major difference from CS:GO and Valorant is that Veiled Experts is played from a third-person perspective.
How are campers punished in the game? Even on the game’s Steam page, Veiled Experts emphasizes a gameplay aspect that the developers simply describe as “No Camping.” The shooter incorporates various mechanics designed to prevent long sitting and waiting. The focus is on action and movement.
For instance, there is a magnetic field that moves during the match, shrinking the map and forcing you to change your positions. If you are in the magnetic field, you take damage.
Additionally, there are various gadgets and agent abilities that allow you to scan the environment and reveal enemy positions or alter them using explosives and destroy cover options.
How can you participate in the beta? If you want to participate in the beta, you need to request access to the test on the Steam page of Veiled Experts.
If you are accepted for the beta, you will receive a notification via email. How generous the developers are with the distribution of beta keys is not yet known.
Just a few days ago, another action-packed shooter, “The Finals,” started a two-week beta test that attracted numerous viewers on Twitch on the very first day.
Today,on March 15th, the “Art of War” update comes to Lost Ark. Accompanying it is not only a new class but also the best combination of events that the game has ever offered. Especially for newcomers and returnees, the events are more than optimal.
What happens in Lost Ark? On March 15th, the first part of the “Art of War” update arrives in Arkesia. The second part will follow in April. And this update brings many new features, especially for newcomers and returnees.
On one hand, the Artist, a new class, which has already broken records in Korea. It is highly anticipated and is expected to bring some players back to the game. This is at least the current sentiment on Twitter.
To make it easy for these players, four events start on March 15th, making your return or entry as simple as possible.
Besides that, endgame players will also receive new content in March. For them, there is a new 48 vs. 48 player battleground on the continent of Rowen, where you can earn faction XP and fight with people on other servers.
An overview of the content can be found here:

4 Events for new players and returnees – What’s included
In addition to the content for endgame players and the new classes, there are 4 events starting on March 15th, specifically tailored for beginners.
We would like to introduce these events to you, so you understand how they are interconnected and how you can best take advantage of them.
Story Event for complete beginners
What is behind the Story Express Event? This event is best suited for newcomers. It picks you up right at the beginning and helps significantly to catch up with the current endgame players.
It works as follows:
The event can only be started on a character that is still below level 11
Only one character per account can participate in the event
It then guides you through the entire story, from level 10 to gear score 1,340
Along the way, you will receive assistance in playing through the story in the form of free equipment and other items, which often come from the cash shop
You even get a 2-week crystalline aura for free, the cash subscription from Lost Ark
At the end, you even receive a legendary armor piece for free. Normally, you would have to complete the Abyss Raid Argos for 2 weeks to get it
Power Pass grants you the second character afterwards
What is behind the Power Pass Event? Players who have been around longer can imagine what this is about. In this event, the game gives you a slightly modified “Punika Power Pass”. This can be used on one character and immediately raises them to gear score 1,340 and beyond the story of the continent of Punika.
To receive this pass, however, you must have completed Punika with at least one character beforehand. As a new player, you will dive into the Story Express Event, complete it, and thus trigger the Power Pass Event. This way, you have two characters at gear score 1,340 and are almost at endgame.

Hyper Express Plus gives you the ultimate boost into endgame
What is behind Hyper Express Plus? With “Hyper Express Plus,” the express events are already entering their third round, this time stronger than ever before. The Hyper Express Plus can be used on one character per account, which must have reached at least gear score 1,340.
The event picks you up exactly where the other two events have now placed you with two characters. You can seamlessly continue and receive even more gifts than before.
When you activate the event on a character, they receive valuable rewards every 15 gear score
Included are silver, legendary cards, engraving boxes, jewels, and of course numerous upgrade materials to facilitate your ascent
In the last express events, there was also a higher chance of successful upgrades. However, this has not yet been officially confirmed for Hyper Express Plus
The event helps you up to item level 1,445 and then grants you a bonus that, depending on the characters, would cost several tens of thousands of gold
What gifts are there at the end? Once you reach gear score 1,445 on the Hyper Express Plus character, you will receive not only a lot of materials and engraving instructions, but also some very nice gifts.
Similar to the last express event, there will probably be event jewels again. You can reroll these for free until they have the values you need. However, a new reward is even stronger. You can also select 4 engravings that are automatically and entirely free activated at level 3 on the character. Normally, this would cost you several tens of thousands of gold.
These engravings will remain active throughout the event period. When exactly the event ends is not currently known. However, through these interconnected events, you will have enough time and rewards to catch up directly to endgame and to players who are still active and veterans.
With gear score 1,445, you can hit Legion Commander Valtan directly in hard mode
Login event tailored for newcomers
What is behind the login event? Starting March 15th, there will also be new login rewards that are also aimed at returnees and new players. You will receive valuable gifts just for logging in every day.
The exact rewards for this are not yet known, but some hints have been made. You can look forward to legendary card selection chests and legendary engraving selection bags.
Both are items that are extremely valuable in Lost Ark and give you an advantage right at the start.
If you ever wanted to play Lost Ark, then now is the time
Conclusion
I have been playing Lost Ark since the release and have spent around 1,800 hours in this MMORPG. I regularly write articles about the world of Arkesia here on MeinMMO for you. And yes, I have tried to “convince” you to play Lost Ark a few times.
But these events are so well interwoven and promise you so many advantages that it is actually more worthwhile to start now than it was at release. The Story Express Event is so good that even I and my guild colleagues are starting new characters to take advantage of the rewards.
I can only warmly recommend to you: If you ever felt like playing Lost Ark, the March update is the best possible time to get started. You can catch up very quickly, and thanks to the Story Event, you will never be alone in low-level areas. Additionally, the Artist finally promises to solve the problem of missing support in the meta.
Likewise, the events are of course worth it for returnees and even for veterans like me. With “Art of War,” Lost Ark has hit the nail on the head for me and can hardly cater any further to the players. In this sense – see you in Arkesia!

Which events are most worthwhile in March 2023?
This could be worth it: Even though the details of most events in March are not yet known, we can still recommend one or the other event based on experiences from recent years. Therefore, you shouldn’t miss the following:
Catching Art Event: The one-day event promises you encounters with the fighting Pokémon Raboot and its evolutions Capoeira, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan. You have an increased chance of encountering them in their shiny forms, making it a must for any shiny hunter.
Community Day in March: The Community Day is always one of the highlights of every month, especially since you can collect tons of XL candies and shinies that day. So you shouldn’t miss this day. However, which monster will be waiting for you in March is still not known at this time.
A Daily Hero & Team GO Rocket Takeover: The event already sounds exciting because of the “Hero” in its title. It may indicate that you could encounter one or another strong monster here. This would also explain why Team Rocket will take over the game – they want to capture the monsters before you. In this context, you can look forward to new teams among the members of Team GO Rocket as well as a new legendary Shadow Pokémon from Rocket Boss Giovanni.
Top Raids: On March 11, a top raid will also take place again. This time with the new raid bosses Regieleki and Regidrago, who will accompany you in the season “Rising Heroes”. Both are making their debut in the game in this context. So this is your chance to secure those specimens.
In addition, you can again expect a number of spotlight and raid hours, where you shouldn’t miss one or the other monster. Moreover, these events will bring you the usual bonuses when catching, evolving, and sending.
What event are you particularly looking forward to in March? And what other content were you hoping for? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other players.
The term MMORPG actually holds the promise of “massive player crowds” hacking away at each other in huge battles with thousands of fighters. But the reality in 2023 is far from that in most games. Only in the MMORPG EVE Online do such battles still occur today – as now in the system X47L-Q: More than 6,000 pilots are fighting there, the developers proudly announce. But players are quite disappointed nonetheless.
How was it in the past with large battles in MMORPGs? “Large battles” were one of the defining features of MMORPGs in the 2000s:
The game took place in the open free world – there were no limits on how many players could be in one place
Often different realms battled for fortresses or relics like in Dark Age of Camelot
In WoW there were legendary battles for the capitals. At key locations in the open world, Alliance and Horde would attack each other uncontrollably
For many, these enormous battles with hundreds of players were what defined “MMORPGs”: the “massive” and the “chaotic.”
What is it like today? For many years now, these battles in the open world have disappeared from most MMORPGs. They have been replaced by “structured PvP”: players meet in a battleground with groups of 10, 20, or maybe 120 players each.
In most cases it is no longer a chaotic battle, but resembles a football match more. Each side brings the same number of players, there are rules, and it is no longer so sprawling.
Still, the industry knows that many MMORPG players wish for the return of such chaotic battles. Therefore, in games like New World, “massive battles” have been announced, but in practice, only sporadically has anything like that been seen.
Start video
EVE Online: Uprising Expansion – Trailer
Why are there no more large battles? Such battles with unlimited players have some disadvantages:
They are unfair – one side is often much stronger than the other
They do not meet the players’ desire to be a great hero. Because for every Robin Hood there must also be the third from the left on the wall who gets shot by Robin Hood with an arrow – and who wants to play that?
On consoles, large battles are impossible due to performance limits. The games would have to look graphically much worse – no one wants to take that risk
EVE Online boasts of large battles involving 6,000 pilots
Where are these battles still happening? Only one relevant and well-known MMORPG still offers these large battles today: the sci-fi epic EVE Online. It is played without limits on a single large server, and battles involving thousands of participants still occur, which the developers are happy to boast about.
On March 12, the Twitter account of EVE Online stated: More than 6,000 pilots from 4 alliances would engage in a battle in the system X47L-Q.

As the MMO site MassivelyOP knows, this is even bigger than the last “record battle” with 5,000 pilots, the so-called “Massacre at M2-XFE” but smaller than the “FURY at FWST-8”, which involved more than 8,000 people.
It seems that CCP is rightly boasting about this large battle on Twitter.
What is the catch? Many pilots are writing on Twitter that this large battle is not something CCP can boast about. Because the servers of EVE Online struggle with so many players. And that despite time lag, because in EVE time passes more slowly when so many pilots meet:
One player says: It is indeed fun, but the servers understandably have serious problems.
Another says: In “Breaking News” CCP at least got the “Breaking” part right: It implies the servers are breaking down.
Others immediately shout “Potato Server” or “Rip Server”
Another adds maliciously: 6,000 people trying to play EVE, thus breaking the previous record when 5,000 people tried to play EVE
CCP even promoted a Twitch account where players could watch the battle live… but even there, the behavior of CCP, to reset the battle, was viewed critically:

It is clear that even in the only MMORPG that still offers these large battles today, they are very controversial. Apparently, this requires technology and server performance that no MMORPG can currently provide.
It is a pity that the grand plans of Herman Narula are on ice:
Players in Destiny 2 can now not only appreciate each other. They can also become the ultimate role model in the community. But only if they complete several challenges within a season to reach Guardian rank 11. Therefore, MeinMMO reveals what hidden and tricky tasks you can expect at Guardian ranks 8-11.
Update March 14, 2023 / 7:00 PM: Today Bungie announced via Twitter that the Guardian ranks will receive an update to address player criticism regarding excessively high appreciation ranks.
As Bungie wrote: “To better meet our goals, we have reduced the required appreciation point total to fulfill the objectives in all Guardian ranks. The target descriptions will be updated in-game on March 16 to reflect the new appreciation requirements.”
We have already updated the new appreciation requirements in this article.
What are the Guardian ranks in Destiny 2? With Lightfall, Bungie introduced a new system for players to showcase their experience in the loot shooter. The Guardian ranks, as the system is called, offer them a lot of new tasks to complete.
There are a total of 11 ranks to climb on the way to “role model”.
Each rank contains multiple objectives in the form of challenges, and all must be completed before moving on to the next rank.
Unlike other ranks such as those of the Vanguard, the Crucible, or the Gambit rank, you do not automatically level up.
Ranks 1-6 are still relatively easy to achieve because they are intended to provide new players with a kind of tutorial on how Destiny works. Only starting from rank 8 does it get progressively harder.
However, those who want the ultimate prestige to be considered a “role model” in Destiny 2 must master several tough challenges and also possess the latest DLC.
In this article, we reveal exactly what tasks await you in the system.
From rank 8, things get serious – here it shows who a true Guardian is (via reddit.com)
All tasks to be completed for Guardian rank 8 to 11
Most Guardians have already started at rank 6 “Veteran”. Bungie granted this to its longtime players automatically. From rank 8 onwards, however, it gets serious for the status “Justiciar”.
Why should I complete this? The Guardian rank system is intended to be like a journey. Previously, new players went through the game with no plan on what to do. Now they have a roadmap to follow.
Those who complete the journey to rank 11 have basically done everything in Destiny 2. And those who have done everything, no matter how difficult, should have a good understanding of it. Because to achieve these goals from the ranks, you need more experience, repetition, time, and game knowledge.
Veterans can distinguish themselves as experienced players and showcase their status as “icon or role model of guardianship”, whom every New Light in Destiny 2 respects.

Don’t ignore your own appreciations
That’s why you should always evaluate other guardians: The appreciations received and appreciation points are not the same, even though they stand in relation to each other. Appreciations are solely from praise from other guardians. However, you also earn points for the evaluation itself.
These points are composed of the total number of appreciation points received and awarded in the current season through group activities. They are increased when you help players at lower ranks.
Consequently, those who give little or no praise to other guardians do not do themselves any favors and will noticeably have fewer of their own appreciation points.

Guardian Ranks are reset with each season
Can I keep my Guardian rank? Yes and no. Some of the Guardian rank objectives are outlined in Destiny 2 with colored boxes.
White outlined tasks are general in nature and not tied to seasons or DLCs.
Blue outlined are seasonal objectives that will likely be reset after season 20.
Gold outlined are DLC-specific challenges within the Guardian ranks.
This means that in each season, the Guardian rank will be reset. Especially since some objectives are tied to season 20. Some of these objectives will no longer be available in season 21 and will be replaced with new ones to be completed.
Guardian Ranks reset to rank 5 at the end of the season

Those wondering why they keep getting killed by NPC enemies in Neomuna, even though their power level fits, should read this:
Elden Ring is an RPG monster that wants to devour your character and your time – often the game is even successful in this. A player on the discussion platform reddit recently drew attention because she pumped 56 hours into a collection achievement and apparently got lucky.
What kind of achievement was that? Reddit user “KyraThressen” has collected all 308 weapons in Elden Ring. She states in a thread on reddit that it took her around 56 hours.
Elden Ring is huge, the open world packed with puzzles, nasty monsters, and NPCs constantly appearing who want to throw punches. Nevertheless, she persevered and could secure the achievement.
How she did it and which weapon was the most annoying to grind can be found here. If you want to know another community story, you can also start our video:

A half-naked player in Elden Ring became a community legend – This is his story
How did she do it? The answer is as simple as it is exhausting. Ultimately, you need 3 things:
An Arcane build
Very much patience
A large notepad
In the reddit thread, KyraThressen explains that there is no short way to achieve this success. It is pure willpower. However, one should inform themselves in advance and take notes on where and when to obtain which weapons. Additionally, there are “missable” weapons that would only be available again in NewGame+.
Moreover, a build focusing on Arcane is helpful. This slightly improves your chances for weapons that drop from certain enemies. KyraThressen’s build shows 95 Arcane in the reddit thread:

Which weapon was the most annoying? At the front is “Envoy’s Greathorn.” The gigantic weapon is dropped by certain enemies that are difficult to defeat. Additionally, the drop rate is abysmal.
Following closely is the Cleanrot Spear. While it is not so difficult to farm, it was very boring to farm the thing.
KyraThressen was not the first to secure all weapons in Elden Ring. Other equipment grinders chime in the thread. User “xxvkaxx” even calls KyraThressen a lucky person – he took over 150 hours. Maleficent_Ground372 even claims to have collected all armors as well.
When asked if the whole action is worth it, there is a clear answer: No. Although it is “incredibly satisfying to finish it,” it is not worth the time, according to KyraThressen.
So … how many weapons and armors do you have in your inventory in Elden Ring? How much time have you generally invested in the game? Leave us a comment on the topic.

On March 9th, a new anime MMORPG celebrated its global release. Shortly thereafter, it gained 30,000 players on Steam.
What kind of game is this? Summoners War: Chronicles is an MMORPG from the South Korean development studio Com2uS, which is available on Steam and mobile devices via the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Although Summoners War: Chronicles was released back in November 2022, it only celebrated the worldwide release of the MMORPG on March 9th.
The game features an anime style and is set in the world of the popular mobile game Summoners War.
What makes the game special? In Summoners War: Chronicles, you choose one of three playable characters, known as Summoners, each of whom has a unique role and brings its own skill set.
With your character, you have the opportunity to summon various monsters and form a team with them. There should be over 350 different monsters that accompany you on the battlefield and to whom you can give commands.
The world of Summoners War: Chronicles consists of various continents that you can travel. It also offers various dungeons and raids, as well as PvP battles in the arena – just like Summoners War.

Summoners War: Chronicles Cinematic-Trailer
How successful was the global release? The global release went very successfully for the MMORPG. While the game had only about 2,000 players on Steam in February, there was a player boom after the release on March 9th (via steamcharts).
The player numbers rose sharply and reached a peak of 31,277 (as of March 14, 2:00 PM). Cross-platform, Summoners War: Chronicles reportedly reached even 110,000 simultaneous players according to Com2uS.
How is the game received? The MMORPG has 2,500 ratings on Steam and is 74% positive. The reviews themselves are somewhat mixed. Some players report that they generally enjoy the game.
However, some players also criticize the gacha system behind the MMORPG. Although Summoners War: Chronicles is a F2P title, there are enough opportunities to spend money – including pay-to-win and pay-to-progress.
If you are instead interested in MMORPGs that do not have a mobile version, then Pax Dei might be interesting for you:
In Tower of Fantasy, you can not only beat up monsters but also cook delicious dishes. Therefore, we show you all known recipes, what ingredients you need, and what buffs they provide.
Cooking is important: In Tower of Fantasy, cooking is a crucial task that every player eventually tackles. With the cooking stations on the map, you can create delicious dishes that provide you with useful buffs and increase your satiety. However, the game requires creativity and the willingness to mix ingredients yourself. Recipes can only be learned if you mix the right ingredients.
To avoid wasting ingredients unnecessarily and to quickly compile a complete cookbook, we summarize all known recipes for you. To facilitate scrolling, we have added small steps for quicker navigation:
Where can I cook? To wield the cooking spoon, you need to travel to one of the cooking stations on the map. These are marked with a cooking pot symbol. The stations look like small space probes adorned with stickers. Travel to one of these stations and interact with it. Then the cooking window pops up and you can get started.

Important about cooking: Note that you cannot learn a recipe right away if you throw all the right ingredients into the machine. To increase your chances of learning the required recipe, you should add a larger amount of the used ingredients. This way, you increase your luck and then receive the required recipe. Once you have learned the recipe, you can cook your dishes with just one of the required components.

After a successful raid weekend in Destiny 2, today’s weekly reset brings movement to the seasonal story again. The third and final battleground will be opened, and the Guardians can take another step in the story.
This is happening this week: Last week there was an unplanned postponement of two activities in Destiny 2. On one hand, the endgame in the form of “Trials of Osiris” is being brought forward. In return, the traditional Iron Banner, which should actually start today, has been pushed back by a week.
In week 3, there is also a new battleground experience called “Orbital Prison” in the ongoing “Season of Resistance” in PvE. However, some Guardians are also worried whether the Queen of the Rifts, Mara Sov, can endure the strain of sharing her power. Because already now, she is showing clear signs of weakness.
For the most eager Destiny players, this week the completion of progress in the Guardian Rank system will continue. The tasks issued by Bungie are real challenges starting from Rank 8 that not everyone can or wants to pass.
Our tip: Don’t ignore the ratings and evaluate other Guardians. This indirectly makes it easier for you to reach Rank 11 and especially the 6000 appreciation points. When you evaluate other Guardians, you receive appreciation points in return.
New gameplay of Destiny 2: Lightfall takes you to spectacular heights – “This moment was made for Guardians”
Key information about activities from March 14 to March 21.

Vanguard: Nightfall – The Fire Trial
“Hyper-Net Current”

Changes in Lightfall for the Nightfalls: The Vanguard challenges will be adjusted to take these changes into account in Lightfall. Additionally, Bungie will integrate scoring into the Vanguard Ops playlist. The higher your score, the larger the multiplier for your Vanguard Rank.
Complete Vanguard activities with the wave focus.
These can either be the seasonal waves for Nightfalls or the weekly waves for Vanguard Ops.
Complete Nightfall activities.
Higher difficulty levels provide correspondingly more progress.
A single top-tier Nightfall also completes this challenge. However, it will not be available again in the game until April 11, 2023.
Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation
The weekly legacy raid is the “Deep Stone Crypt” on Europa.
In addition, there is also extra top-tier loot in the dungeon “Duality.”
Bungie will further expand these content rotations starting Season 22. Then players will be able to play not only raids and dungeons as “legacy” but also old exotic missions.
Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity:
Fight as a fireteam in “Team Scorched” and go after opposing Guardians
Where is there a bonus this week?
In week 3, Destiny 2 grants you a bonus in Gambit for your reputation ranks.
Weekly Activities

This is the new max level: In the new Season of Resistance (Season 20), the power level increases drastically. The maximum power level of your equipment is at 1,810. Thus, the power level at the start of the new Season 20 has risen by +210 compared to the previous Season 19.
In Season 20 of Lightfall, Guardians start at power level 1600.
The Soft Cap is at 1750.

Diablo 4 will be a service game that is to be supplied with new content over the years. Fans are already speculating about what might come and which new class is on the horizon. One class is particularly popular and is even very likely. The best part: most of you also want it.
What kind of class is that? Paladins have already existed in Diablo 2. The holy warriors fight with divine magic, sword and shield in heavy armor. They are the proverbial bulwark against the dark forces.
The idea of paladins was later continued in Diablo 3 and Diablo Immortal with the Crusader. The two classes share many characteristics, although Crusaders still have signature abilities with horses.
In our poll on which new class you want in Diablo 4, paladins are currently in first place with 29% of the votes. And it looks like the chances are quite good that you might get your wish as early as the first expansion.
Currently, only 5 classes are known in Diablo 4: Barbarian, Druid, Huntress, Necromancer, and Sorceress. However, hints about a 6th class were already found in 2022, including a leak from Blizzard itself.
Everything you need to know about the Open Beta in Diablo 4
Will the Paladin be the first new class in Diablo 4?
What speaks for the Paladin: At the end of 2022, an image appeared that shows the classes of Diablo 4 fighting against some demons and other opponents. No character is distinctly detailed except for the playable classes.
The same image was shown in 2019 when Diablo 4 was announced, but only with Sorceress, Barbarian, and Druid, the classes known at the time. The new image looks almost identical, except that three additional characters are visible.
Next to the Huntress and the Necromancer, a 6th figure in golden armor is visible, carrying a shield, possessing angel wings, and holding a spear in the air. The image was quickly removed, but a user on reddit has saved and shared it.
This image from 2019 was later expanded with additional classes.
Since then, rumors have been running hot, and players are wondering what kind of character this could be. They suspect an angel, which doesn’t fit because a face is visible. Angels don’t have faces in Diablo. Therefore, various classes are now being considered that could be possible:
Paladin
Crusader
Valkyrie (like in the Amazon skill from Diablo 2)
Templar
Another indication for the Paladin, according to fans and experts, is that a class of this archetype is still missing. There is currently no class that uses holy power and also no real shield bearer. For completeness, such a class would still need to come.
Do you want to vote yourself? Here is the poll on which class you wish for:
When could the Paladin appear? It would make sense historically for the class to come into play with the first or second expansion. In the story of Diablo 4, the gates of heaven are closed, so there is no help from angels.
However, if the story eventually leads to a point where players travel to heaven, as in Diablo 3, or otherwise make contact with divine beings, a corresponding class would thematically fit as well.
When exactly the expansion will be released, we cannot say yet. Some fans suspect that the first expansion or the first new DLC will be released before the end of the year. We also don’t know anything about the cost of a possible new class yet.
It is common practice in game development to think about potential new content long before the release, and some of it may even be partially completed. So it may well be that the new class is announced even before the release on June 6.
Since the announcement in 2019, a lot has changed in Diablo 4 – and some information has remained rather under the radar:
Destiny 2 has brought back one of its most popular SMGs with new perks in Season 19. We will show you what makes the IKELOS_MP_V1.0.3 so strong now, where to get it, and what its God Roll is.
What kind of weapon is this? This is about the IKELOS-MP-V1.0.3, a new version of the SMG that now drops with an origin perk and can even be crafted at the gunsmith with enough collected blueprints.
Update, March 14, 2023: Since Season 19 has ended, there is no direct source for obtaining the Ikelos-MP anymore. We recommend trying at Banshee, the gunsmith at the Tower. He occasionally offers weapons when ranking up – even the Ikelos shotguns.
Many Guardians still remember it from Season 10, when Warmind cells dominated the meta and annihilated all enemies with explosions in a massive radius. When those were nerfed, other submachine guns took over the rankings, and the Ikelos-MP slipped further into obscurity – until now.
New perks and the fact that players can now craft it make the SMG popular again. Therefore, we will show you which rolls are the best and where you can farm them for blueprints.

Destiny 2: Lightfall – Trailer Game Awards
How to build your God Roll for the Ikelos-MP
How can I farm the weapon? To generally farm the new versions of the Ikelos weapons, you have several options, but one is particularly efficient.
Start the story mission “The Investigation” and complete it 4 times until you reach your maximum capacity of 2000 Seraph key codes. You can speed up the process by switching checkpoints of the last phase among your teammates.
The Throne World awaits to be farmed
After that, head to the new heist playlist and open both chests at the end of the activity. Do this as often as you can until you run out of Seraph key codes. By opening these chests, you will receive a certain amount of resonance stems each time.
Then go to your inventory on the resonance AMP and use your resonance stems to create override frequencies and then use them at Seraph nodes.
Through these nodes, you will receive weapons and even have a chance to get weapons with red borders. After that, you can farm more blueprints via the H.E.L.M. and the perks from the Season 19 artifact “Seraph Cipher”.
In this video, Nexxoss-Gaming explains the process and, most importantly, where you can find these nodes:

Note that you must receive, tune, or dismantle the IKELOS_MP_v1.0.3 a total of five times with a red border before you can build it to your needs. That was all the information about the newly refreshed MP from Rasputin.

The new action RPG Diablo 4 was announced back in 2019. Since then, many new pieces of information about the game have been released, some of which have also changed. MeinMMO summarizes important content for you, of which you probably had no idea.
What are these things? A video by Diablo expert jessirocks made me aware that some information about Diablo 4 is not as widely known as one might assume.
That’s why I searched for details that have been rarely discussed, recently come to light, or have changed since the announcement in 2019. Those who have not followed Diablo 4 closely will at least not have known some of these things.
Some rune words were among the most powerful items in the game in previous installments. However, Diablo 3 no longer had the system. Diablo 4 is supposed to get it back, just not at launch.
In December 2022, the developers talked about the fact that while runes are still planned, they will not be in the game at launch. They will presumably be added later with one of the seasons or an expansion.
By the way: this also applies to sets. Sets will not be in the game at the launch of Diablo 4 but are expected to come after release:
The most important feature in every Diablo game is the loot. Diablo 4 gets the loot system from Diablo 3. However, you have some influence over what you want to farm and even how it should look.
Certain enemy types are more likely to drop specific items. You are more likely to receive crossbows and clubs from bandits, and pants from drowned enemies. However, any item can drop anywhere.
The appearance of the items, however, differs depending on where you find an item. The region determines the skin. For example, an otherwise identical chest piece with the same stats looks different when it drops in Scosglen than when you find it in the steppe. The known regions are:
Kehjistan: ruins of many wars and demonic invasions
Hawezar: a sickly swamp
Withered Steppes: as the name says, a barren steppe area
Hell: the home of demons, when and how we arrive here is still unknown
In the open beta, you will be able to explore the Shattered Peaks yourself. The other areas will be locked until the release on June 6.
The intro sequence already shows you a little of the Shattered Peaks:

3. Altars of Lilith permanently improve all your characters – Even new ones
While you are out and about in Diablo 4, you can find Altars of Lilith. These altars are located in every area. When you interact with them, one of your primary stats improves permanently. As it stands, you will receive one of the following stats:
+2 Strength
+2 Intelligence
+2 Willpower
+2 Dexterity
+8 maximum life
These improvements are permanent and apply to every character on your account, even those that have not yet been created. So if you want to try out a new class, you already have a small advantage at the early levels.
The altars function similarly to the Paragon system in Diablo 3, except that you must seek them out in the corresponding areas. We cannot yet say how many there will be in the entire game.
Still unsure which class you want to play? Our quiz will tell you which class in Diablo 4 suits you. Here you can find gameplay of Druid, Sorceress, and Barbarian:

4. You can trade, but only limited
Diablo 4 aims to make trading with other players possible again. This is primarily to promote the multiplayer aspect and cooperative gameplay. However, there will be no auction house; you will trade directly with other players.
While there is no time limit like in Diablo 3, there are some other restrictions, as the Diablo expert Rhykker mentioned in an interview:
If you enchant an item or add a socket, you can no longer trade it
Cosmetic items from the shop are not tradable
Blizzard wants to ensure that the best loot still comes from monsters, and that everyone can find it, not just buy it. However, since you can transform rare items into Legendary items through aspects, particularly good items are likely to be worth something.
5. Diablo 4 has a Battle Pass that costs around 10 Euros
Diablo 4 is a live-service game that will be continuously developed and updated with new content after the release. Regular new seasons will be introduced, as in Diablo 3, along with a Battle Pass.
In the recently released information about the Battle Pass, Blizzard confirmed that the Battle Pass will have two paths: a free one and a paid one. The paid path is expected to cost 10 US dollars, which will likely also be 10 Euros.
A Battle Pass or season is currently planned for 3 months, although this was occasionally extended in Diablo 3. Completing the Battle Pass is expected to take around 75 hours.
Certain boosts in the Battle Pass require a certain character level, so you cannot just buy Battle Pass levels to advance faster. The first season, however, will only be released a few weeks after the launch.
If you want to know what else Diablo 4 has to offer, you can find more information on one of the most important aspects of the game here:
Linus Tech Tips is one of the most well-known tech channels on YouTube. However, the channel could have looked very different if Linus Sebastian had accepted a deal.In a conversation, he explains that he has no regrets about the decision to this day.
Linus Sebastian is the head of Linus Media Group, which also includes his famous tech channel “Linus Tech Tips”. In a conversation in the latest episode of “Wan Show”, he explained that an unbeatable offer had been made for his then-young channel.
9-figure amount for YouTube channel, but how much, Linus does not reveal
He does not get very specific. He neither mentions a specific purchase price nor reveals the potential buyer. But he explains that he does not regret rejecting the offer:
No, no. I don’t really regret it, I was afraid that I would. I was worried. Have I ever said how much the offer was? Well, it was not six figures, and it was not seven figures. It was certainly not five or less… it was also not eight.
However, the offer is said to have been made to him before Linus Media Group grew to the size it is today. Now, Linus Media Group and the associated YouTube channels are likely worth significantly more.
Here you can see the entire conversation from Linus on YouTube:

Since 2013, a total of 9 different channels have belonged to the group, of which “Linus Tech Tips” is certainly the most well-known offshoot. The offer also shows how much money such a channel can be worth.
One of his last major actions was testing a gaming PC. Here he disassembled an expensive gaming PC from Starforge Systems. That is the company of Asmongold and other big streamers.
A feature of Throne and Liberty is supposed to be the character editor. The MMORPG relies on many options and realistic facial expressions. Additionally, an AI will create your desired character based on an uploaded photo.
What does the character editor offer? In Throne and Liberty, you can basically only play humans. However, you should be able to create them in great detail. There are dozens of hairstyles, colors, and customization options, including body and head shapes. This can already be inferred from the first videos and screenshots.
Especially exciting is the AI customization. You will be able to upload photos – such as of your own appearance – and the AI will automatically recreate the person in the editor. You will also have the option to make further adjustments afterward.
After games like New World or indie titles like Embers Adrift and Fractured, it seems that an MMORPG is finally coming again where you can spend hours in the editor.
Two images of the character editor from official videos.
Throne and Liberty looks good, but is that enough?
What else does Throne and Liberty offer? Considering that the new MMORPG is actually supposed to be released in the coming months, it’s surprisingly quiet. The last official news was three weeks ago when it was announced that Amazon would take over publishing in the West.
Many things are currently unclear, such as the scope of PvE, what role dungeons and raids will play, or how many weapons there actually are. Only the graphics have convinced both in trailers and captivated testers.
Here you can watch the latest trailer:

Recently, however, a lot has indicated that PvP will play a very significant role. It has also been officially confirmed that there will be open PvP at night without penalties.
Currently, monetization and a possible shop are completely unclear. It is only stated that the developers want to avoid Pay2Win as much as possible. When we will receive information about these matters is unknown.
What do you think of Throne and Liberty? Are you still interested, or does skepticism currently prevail? Everything that is known about the game has been collected here:
In Pokémon GO not only do the little pocket monsters play a big role, but also the numerous items that can be collected. A trainer now shows how to secure a “secret reward” every week. We at MeinMMO explain to you what the reward is and how you can get it.
What reward is it? Pokémon GO is a game where exploring is at the center. For this reason, trainers are rewarded as part of the so-called Adventure Sync when they cover a certain distance weekly.
This way, trainers can look forward to plenty of balls and stardust, but they can also receive special eggs through the system. However, a reddit user explains that this is not all that lies behind Adventure Sync. With a trick, you can also score a secret reward. We show you how this works and what to expect.
Trainer gets “secret reward” from Adventure Sync
What trick is it? Actually, the reddit user LunarScholar wanted to show in his post with a screenshot that the gyms in his area were colored white and he finds it spooky. But a detail in his picture sparked a completely different discussion in the community. Many were surprised that he has no egg in his incubator (via reddit.com).
The reddit user Lavender_sky77 joins the discussion and offers a possible explanation in the comments. He himself leaves his incubators unoccupied from Sunday to Monday. The reason for this is the “secret reward” in the form of special candies that he wants to secure from Adventure Sync on Mondays. He explains:
I don’t hatch eggs on Sunday/Monday so that I have my egg slots full and get special candies as Adventure Sync rewards.
Other trainers also confirm in the comments and other reddit posts that they collect special candies this way.
Many trainers know nothing about “Secret Reward”
Trainers are surprised: Many players are amazed that there is such a “secret reward” in Adventure Sync at all. Until now, they had mainly secured the eggs and knew nothing of the special candies, but they are happy that Lavender_sky77 shares this info with them. The user jasonandhiswords writes on reddit.com: “Holy shit, this is huge. After 7 years, I’m still learning something new.”
And ricegator agrees (via reddit.com): “That’s right. I knew that I sometimes received special candies, but I thought it was random and not a choice between receiving eggs. Useful information!”
Is it worth it? Special candies are very popular among players because they can be converted into all other candies. So if you are missing candies to evolve a strong monster or level up, they serve as all-rounders and can be invested accordingly. Therefore, it can be worthwhile to stock up on them.
Additionally, some of the monsters hiding in the eggs of Adventure Sync can also be found in other eggs or elsewhere in the game. Therefore, they are particularly worthwhile if you are after a specific Pokémon or shiny.
Which monsters are currently in the eggs from Adventure Sync, we show you in the following article:
Why are there special candies in Adventure Sync? Normally, the rewards from Adventure Sync include various eggs as rewards, provided that you have walked more than 25 kilometers in a week. To have enough space for these eggs in the egg storage, Niantic introduced 3 additional slots some time ago that are only meant for the eggs from Adventure Sync and for 12km eggs from Team GO Rocket.
However, if these and all other egg slots are occupied when the rewards are distributed, you cannot receive any new eggs. To ensure that these players are still rewarded for their traveled distance, there is an alternative reward in the form of items.
Are there additional rewards? Yes, in addition to the mentioned special candies, you can also be rewarded with silver pinap berries as an alternative.
How can you secure the secret reward? To receive the reward, you must have all egg slots occupied during the distribution. Players like Lavender_sky77 take advantage of this for themselves and make sure in advance that they have 12 eggs in their storage.
So that not a single egg hatches from Adventure Sync before the distribution, they make sure not to put any eggs in the incubators in the last hours.
How many candies & berries do you get?The reward from Adventure Sync depends on how many kilometers you have walked within a week. You will receive either 3 special candies or 3 silver pinap berries instead of a 5km egg. For earned 10km eggs, you can alternatively get 5 special candies or 5 silver pinap berries.
So if you have, for example, covered a distance of 50 kilometers, you would normally receive a 5km and a 10km egg. If your slots are all occupied, you could secure up to 8 special candies this way.
When can you claim the rewards? The rewards from Adventure Sync are always distributed on Mondays at 09:00 local time. You will receive them as soon as you log into the game next time thereafter.
What do you think of the trick to get special candies? Do you also make sure that your egg slots are always fully occupied on Mondays? Or are you more interested in the eggs from Adventure Sync? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.
In the MMORPG Oldschool Runescape (Steam), a player invested 20,000 hours into a character to rank first on a leaderboard. But now he has lost access to his character: a hacker took over the account and changed the character’s name to mock the player. He had used the same password for everything online.
What has the player achieved?The MMORPG “OldSchool Runescape” is known for players seeking very strange and time-consuming tasks to spend their lives on.
The player “Diddleboy” has set himself the task of playing a “Skill Pure.” This is what you call a character that develops no combat skills but solely increases non-combat skills. These characters are also called Skillers:
This player practically never fights to avoid gaining combat experience.
He focuses entirely on leveling up the other skills.

Player considers himself the “only true MAX Pure” in Runescape
By playing this way, it actually becomes impossible to increase the “Slayer” skill to the maximum value that is enhanced by killing monsters. But Diddleboy even managed to maximize this skill in 2021 by eliminating pests in the Varrock Museum for 8,000 hours.
This insane play has made Diddleboy number 1 on the “Old School Skillers – Hiscore.” (via twitter):
The player himself stated that most “Skillers” reached the maximum 15 times and would ignore “Slayer,” not considering it part of the challenge of maximizing all “non-combat skills.”
However, he is the first to have now reached maximum in 16 skills, thus being the first skiller who is TRULY at maximum.
Player logged out in the middle of the game and cannot access the account
This is what happened to him: On March 12th, the character was hacked and stolen.
The player himself says: He was logged out of the game, thought he only needed to re-enter the authentication, but then realized: His password was incorrect.
He writes: This is very serious. He has invested 20,000 hours into this account and has only this one single account.

What is the insidious part? The hacker had temporarily taken over Diddleboy’s Twitter account and wrote there: The player’s password was simply his Discord name spelled backward and he had no two-factor authentication on his emails.

The name of “Diddleboy” was changed to “SamePwEvrywr” – seemingly mocking him, as the hacker implies that the man uses the same password for everything.
Now there are fears that the hacker could even go to extremes and level the player’s combat skills so the account would be “defiled” forever.
A cruel thought.
“Years of life wasted”
How is this being discussed? Diddleboy is viewed quite critically. Some users on reddit say the guy has always acted out and has been toxic. He has acted like a “big fish in a small pond,” even in this niche community.
Diddleboy hasn’t even been able to protect his account – now “years of his life are wasted.” Though one user retorts: The years of life were already wasted with the decision to play Runescape this way.
Others add, that is the guy who has called himself the “one true Max Skiller.” What a tosser.
Others say: One must still empathize with what happened to him. He did not deserve this.
Again, other users on reddit add: This should be a lesson for all who deal so carelessly with their passwords.
Fear of losing the “purity” by the hacker killing too many monsters
What happens next? Diddleboy has reached out to Runescape support. He hopes to get his account back. Until then, he asks that perhaps it would be good to temporarily disable the account.
His nightmare is apparently that the hacker could indeed slay a monster with his “truly pure hero.”
