The release of Diablo 4 is coming soon, but many fans fear that the launch will not go smoothly. What is behind “Error 37,” which everyone is dreading?
Diablo is expected by thousands of fans around the world, and the release is just around the corner. However, the upcoming beta could already be a test to see how many people are actually interested in playing Diablo 4.
And many fear that Blizzard will once again ruthlessly underestimate the influx of players. And then you might see “Error 37”.
Error 37 trended at the launch of Diablo III on Twitter
What kind of error is this? Error 37 was displayed in 2012 at the launch of Diablo III when you wanted to start the game. The error meant that the servers could not handle the influx of players. So those who wanted to play had to be patient and try again later. This frustrated many players back in 2012 who wanted to start the action RPG right at midnight.
Why are the same problems feared? Blizzard completely underestimated the influx for Diablo III back then and had to work hard behind the scenes on the servers to solve problems. Many believe this could happen again and that Blizzard might underestimate the high interest, reports the portal PC Gamer.
Why was this a hot topic? Blizzard relied on always-online copy protection for Diablo 3 for the first time. This means: You must always be online if you want to play the game. This applies even if you just want to play the single-player campaign. Even if you wanted to play completely alone, “Error 37” prevented you from starting your game.
Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime explained at the launch that it was important for Diablo to always be connected to the internet. This caused many players, who were having significant issues with the game at that time, to shake their heads (via pcgamer.com).
What do you think? Do you think there will be the same issues as with Diablo 3, or that everyone will be able to play without problems? Do you belong to those who are already waiting for the beta of Diablo 4?
By the way, you can now start the download for Diablo 4. However, it is not exactly small. Everything you need to know about downloading can be found here:
The American Tyler “Trainwreck” Niknam (32) became a huge success with casino streams on Twitch. After losing almost a quarter of his viewers due to new gambling regulations on the streaming platform, he moved to the new competitor Kick. Now he is actively trying to poach streamers.
What is Kick all about? Twitch introduced new gambling regulations on the platform in Fall 2022. With the new rules, it became forbidden to show or promote certain websites like the controversial online casino Stake during streams.
Stake representatives then invested in a new streaming site: Kick. The new competitor to Twitch attracts with a 95/5 split for paid subscriptions. Tyler “Trainwreck” Niknam, who was the biggest gambling streamer on Twitch until then, joined as a “consultant and non-exclusive broadcaster”.
A lucrative target group for Kick are streamers who have been banned from Twitch and are now streaming successfully but without an exclusive contract on YouTube. Such as the controversial IShowSpeed or the infamous DrDisrespect, whom you can see in our video:

Trainwreck shows how much one allegedly earns on Kick
How is Trainwreck trying to attract streamers? The 32-year-old never tires of emphasizing that Twitch does not adequately value its streamers. Everything is much better at Kick. In a tweet from March 10, he showed how much one could allegedly earn on Kick.
A screenshot shows the number of paid subscriptions for the ongoing stream and the resulting estimated earnings. With 57 subscribers and 3,470 gift subscriptions, over 16,000 US dollars are said to be accumulated – at Twitch, most streamers would only receive half of that.

Trainwreck refers to this as a “new era of streaming”. The post received more than 5.2 million views. In the comments, content creators express their admiration for the earning potential, openly consider switching, and inquire about options.
Is Asmongold coming to the dark side?
How does Asmongold come into play? Among the comments is Asmongold, the largest MMORPG streamer on Twitch. The WoW nerd is, however, a vocal critic of Twitch and has already lamented that excessive advertising would be the demise of Twitch.
Asmongold comments on Trainwreck’s earnings neutrally: That is much more than other websites offer in the live streaming sector. The casino streamer seems to smell his chance and even invokes the ruler of the high council of titans from WoW: Aman’Thul.
“If Twitch doesn’t lock you down with something nice, like you deserve, I swear to Aman’thul that I will,” replies Trainwreck, sounding a bit like he wants to buy an engagement ring for Asmongold.
if twitch doesn’t lock you down with something nice, like you deserve. I swear to aman’thul, that I will.
How does Asmongold respond? He has not yet responded to Trainwreck’s comment. For the MMORPG streamer, it seems to have rather been a harmless flirt with the competition, even though 32-year-old Trainwreck may have hoped for more.
Whether Asmongold is actually considering a switch is hard to say. However, he seems to adhere to the saying that competition stimulates business. Perhaps the new platform will prompt Twitch to show a little more generosity to its streamers to avoid losing them.
Many content creators are unhappy with the share that Twitch takes for itself:
Call of Duty has made several adjustments to weapons in the Mid-Season 2 of Warzone 2. Early analyses show that the weapons have come closer together again. Nevertheless, the ISO Hemlock can maintain its position at the top in terms of range. Here you will find a strong setup.
The assault rifle ISO Hemlock was introduced with the start of Season 2 and immediately impressed with good performance. However, the stable assault rifle flew a bit under the radar – the shotgun KV Broadsite was the “star” of Season 2, causing terror in close combat.
Now it seems that the big debut of the Hemlock is approaching, the stage is ready, and the audience has taken their seats. If you are looking for a strong alternative for your ranged kills, then enjoy the show of the ISO Hemlock in the Mid-Season.
MeinMMO has looked at the fresh weapon trends of the Mid-Season 2 and provides you with a tested setup from the YouTuber and Warzone expert “P4wnyhof” (via YouTube).
What makes the ISO Hemlock special? The Hemlock is a strong assault rifle for medium and long distances. The rather low fire rate of 600 shots/minute combined with controllable recoil allows for precise hits at great distances.
The visual recoil is quite noticeable with a 3.4 optic, but can easily be compensated for due to the low fire rate. However, you will feel the downside of the fire rate when you miss a shot – then the time-to-kill increases significantly.
In addition, the recoil has a “catch”, in the truest sense of the word. The first 15/16 shots have almost no horizontal recoil, only going slightly upwards. However, the next bullets drift to the right. But the vertical recoil decreases here.
Recoil without manual correction – ISO Hemlock Setup
Try to get used to the behavior or opt for 10-shot bursts. With bursts you can completely avoid the catch and start again at the recoil.
How can I further tweak the setup? If you often play at medium distance or are frequently on Ashika Island, then skip the high-speed ammunition and rather try an underbarrel for even better recoil. This provides a lot of safety when firing.
Also try a smaller optic if the visual recoil is too strong for you. That can make a big difference.
The ISO Hemlock has fought its way to the top, but Warzone 2 offers many strong options in assault rifles and range. Especially the LMGs are also strong here.
The MMORPG Lost Ark brings a new class today: The Artist, in English Painter/Artist, depending on the translation. We at MeinMMO show you how to play it and what to pay attention to.
The Painter/Artist is a brand new base class in Lost Ark – The Specialist. Specialists are female, childlike-looking beings with cat ears. Accordingly, the Painter is also equipped with cat ears and looks delicate.
By using other colors, e.g. red for damage, the Artist indicates to her group members whether she will deal damage next or support the others. Her casting times are quite long, so it is clear what she is currently doing.
Pro
Very popular class in Korea
Playable as DPS and Support
Mobility
Contra
Long cooldown times of the skills
Her shields are sometimes difficult to use
This is how the Artist plays
This is the special ability of the class: While dealing damage, her identity ability charges in the form of 3 balls. You then press either Z to trigger a group buff or X to heal yourself.
With the Z ability, the Artist can trigger a buff that allows the entire group to deal 10% more damage. Additionally, she applies a debuff to your target with her skills, increasing your damage again by 10%.
With her abilities, she can protect herself and her group members with 5 different shields. This significantly reduces damage and makes her ideal for boss fights.
Furthermore, the class provides its group with speed bonuses, mana regeneration, and healing, similar to the Bard.
In addition to support, shields, more damage, and general DPS attacks, the Artist has another special feature: She can create portals that teleport you to her location. This is useful in boss fights, as the Painter can already leave the danger zone and bring her DPS comrades back with a portal. This has the advantage that damage classes can continue to deal damage to the boss until the last second instead of fleeing from dangerous mechanics.
Here you can see the trailer of the Artistin Lost Ark:

The Artist in Endgame
From level 50 onwards, you enter the endgame of Lost Ark and use dungeons and raids to improve your equipment. Most players then choose a support build for the Artist.
Which engraving should I use? To play as support, you choose the class engraving “Full Bloom”. This adds an AoE healing field to your healing ability “Sunrise”.
What other engravings should I use? Additionally, the combat engraving “Awakening” is worth it, as it reduces your cooldowns. This also affects your identity, allowing you to use Sunrise faster again.
Furthermore, Expert, Drops of Ether, Vital Point Hit, Heavy Armor, or Explosive Expert are also worthwhile, depending on what you want to focus on. You can read more about it at Maxroll.

Which collectible cards are important? As an Artist, when healing, you use your own HP, so you focus on Max HP for your card set. For example, a set of Maneth, Tarsila, Sol Grande, Brealeos, Aporas, and Adrinne works well here. Alternatively, you can use Velcruze, Spear of Annhilation, Perkunas, Fjorgin, Navinos, and Vanquisher. You can read everything about the collectible cards here.
What do you think of the Artist? Do you want to test her as soon as the new update goes live? Which class do you currently like to play the most? What item level have you reached so far? Feel free to write it in the comments here on MeinMMO!
The entry into Lost Ark is currently more worthwhile than ever, even for returnees:
Rift reached over one million subscribers right at the start in 2011, which was comparable to the release numbers of Warhammer Online (800,000) or Age of Conan (around one million). However, both had a large franchise behind them. Scott Hartsman, the former head of Trion Worlds, explained how this was achieved and why the MMORPG then failed.
What did Rift do right at launch? One important pillar of the successful release was the marketing campaign. The MMORPG advertised with the slogan “We’re not in Azeroth anymore.” This was mainly aimed at capturing the millions of players who had turned their backs on WoW at that time.
Moreover, the slogan caused active WoW players to be “triggered” and thus talk about Rift. Hartsman recalls:
I was the Executive Producer and studio head, and I still vividly remember the day our marketing director David Reid came to my desk and said, “We have a few ideas for the release campaign. You are going to like some of them and absolutely hate one of them.” […].
The last page of the presentation shouted at us in capital letters: “WE’RE NOT IN AZEROTH ANYMORE!” The first words out of my mouth immediately were: “Oh, damn, no. We can’t do that.” Then a pause.
Then we both looked at each other and simultaneously realized: “We HAVE to do this.” “Do we really want to do this?” “I think we have to do it, right?” “Yes. We have to.”
He emphasized that at a time before influencers and only with magazines and game boxes, you needed a big bang to stand out. And that was exactly that slogan.
Hartsman also explained that he received an email from a former colleague who worked on WoW, which simply stated “Really?”.
Rift was one of the big WoW killers that ultimately failed. More on this in the video:

5 MMORPGs that Should Have Been WoW Killers But Failed
Rift could not maintain the live service as planned
But after the release, the studio encountered several issues. The head of the game actually wanted to increase the number of employees for Rift to bring live content while also working on an expansion. However, Trion Worlds was simultaneously developing two other AAA MMORPGs that were already behind schedule.
Financial problems then led to the team needing to shrink and a paid expansion had to be rushed to market as quickly as possible.
We were able to conduct the first series of patches very well and extremely reliably. We had even adjusted the game so that many balancing changes and small updates could be made without downtime. That was responsive and important work, but it did not push the major launches forward as planned.
Through our regular updates, we could add content for various segments of players, but they were small adjustments, not major breakthroughs. The regular updates were nowhere near what they should have been.
If we had fulfilled all three points [Good and fun content, stability, regular large updates], RIFT would have remained on the growth path that we all wanted. For that, the team definitely needed to grow and not shrink.
Rift is still around, but a shadow of its former self
In 2018, the German publisher gamigo acquired the studio Trion Worlds. They then decided to release many smaller patches instead of a few large ones. However, the concept did not work, and 2021 saw no new updates. At the beginning of 2022, gamigo announced an update that fans are still waiting for to this day.
Hartsman is still proud of the game. It is still online 12 years after release and still being talked about. After all, he only came to talk about the release again through an article from the colleagues at MassivelyOP (via Medium.com).
We all know it could have been more, and that each of us would have liked to have the chance to do better. But for what we achieved, we can really be very proud.
However, in 2023, things don’t look good for Rift. Revenues and player numbers are declining, certainly also because there is simply no new content anymore. For me, it belongs to the MMORPGs that won’t last much longer: I predict: These 6 MMOs will die in 2023.
But how do you see Rift? Did you become aware of this MMORPG through this campaign? And are such jabs at WoW good or too “cheeky”?

In the upcoming beta tests of Diablo 4, a feature will be available only at certain times. The only world boss you can fight will be available only in the morning and evening for 2 hours each. If you want to see him, you need to set your alarm.
Why should I play in the morning or evening? From March 17 to 20 and from March 24 to 27, the beta weekends of Diablo 4 will take place. During this time, you can create characters and level them up to level 25, explore the entire prologue and Act 1.
Additionally, one of the world bosses of the game will be available: Ashava. World bosses are opponents in Diablo 4 that you must defeat to unlock higher difficulties. They are designed for larger groups of players.
Since Diablo 4 offers a shared world, you should automatically be paired with other players when fighting Ashava. However, the boss only appears 4 times per test.
At what times does the boss appear? According to the beta guide from Blizzard, you can fight Ashava at the following times:
In the preorder beta
Saturday, March 18 at 18:00 and 20:00 CET
Sunday, March 19 at 06:00 and 08:00 CET
In the open beta
Saturday, March 25 at 18:00 and 20:00 CET
Sunday, March 26 at 07:00 and 09:00 CET (remember the time change)
For a victory, you will receive “rich loot”, presumably strong items, perhaps even legendaries. The fight is designed for 12 players based on current information. In co-op, you can already play with groups of 4 players – even in crossplay with all platforms.
Everything you need to know about the Open Beta in Diablo 4
World boss only at certain times – Everything else is free
What else is in the beta? You can see everything in the beta that you’d also see in Act 1 of Diablo 4. However, in the preorder beta, only the huntress, the barbarian, and the sorceress are available. In the open beta, you can play all 5 classes of Diablo 4.
You can level up to level 25 and already receive a reward for participating at level 20. Allegedly, you even need level 25 to fight the boss at all. So you’ll have to level up for some time before you can even get to that point. However, progress will carry over between beta weekends.
How long can I play? The beta ends each Monday at 20:00 or 21:00. You can already start the preload now, but you should hurry. With texture packs, the download is a whopping 85 GB.
Otherwise, there are no limits in your way. You won’t level up beyond level 25, but you can farm as much as you want. If you are still unsure which class you want to play, you can find an overview here:
Newcomers in World of Warcraft were bullied at level 30 and robbed of their gold. This is finally being addressed and should significantly reduce frustration.
Update, 03/17/2023: Blizzard has moved up the date for this change! As of Patch 10.0.7, you can fly in Battle for Azeroth starting at level 30 without having to complete the lengthy achievement.
Original report: New players in World of Warcraft have to endure quite a bit, which would immediately be a reason to quit the game in other MMORPGs. They are literally having gold pulled from their pockets for something they wouldn’t have purchased otherwise. It was about time Blizzard fixed this – and finally with Patch 10.1 Aberrus, the Shadows of Neltharion.
What is Blizzard changing? With the next major update (Patch 10.1), Blizzard is finally removing the restrictions for flying in Battle for Azeroth, that is, Kul Tiras and Zandalar. So far, it has been necessary to complete a Pathfinder achievement for this. After the release of Patch 10.1, this requirement will be permanently removed. It will then be sufficient to purchase the riding skill to be able to fly in Kul Tiras and Zandalar and complete quests much more quickly.
Why is this even a problem? New players are “forced” by World of Warcraft to level their first character in Battle for Azeroth. This is the smoothest player experience and offers a solid story with modern quests to quickly reach level 60 and then travel to the Dragon Isles. Later characters can then level in any other expansion using Chromie’s time – but the first hero must go through Battle for Azeroth.
While new players level in Kul Tiras and Zandalar, they receive a quest every 10 levels to return to the riding instructor and learn a better tier of riding each time.
Particularly, level 30 is an important moment because heroes are promised that they can ride flying mounts through the air in the future. Learning this skill is quite expensive for a fresh level 30 character (almost 300 gold) and will likely consume nearly all the gold that this character possesses.
All the more frustrating was it to return to Kul Tiras or Zandalar after buying the flying skill, only to find out that the flying skill cannot be used there. Because those who want to fly in “Battle for Azeroth” must first complete a very long Pathfinder achievement. This achievement is so time-consuming that new players can only receive it at a point when they have long passed those areas.
Worse still, WoW does not even clearly state why a character cannot fly despite acquiring the ability. New players feel cheated out of all their gold and confused. Especially in the “Newcomer” channel, there are always confused and then angry questions about what has happened.
Or to put it briefly: WoW expects new players to invest all their gold into a flying ability that they cannot even use at the location where they are playing.
It was about time that this finally became a thing of the past.

The classes available at the launch of Diablo 4 have already been decided. Nevertheless, we wanted to know from you which ones you would like to see in the upcoming A-RPG. Here are your answers in a ranking.
The beta tests for Diablo 4 are just around the corner, and the release is also not far off. After that, the first season of the game will begin. We thus wanted to indulge in a bit of future speculation with you and asked you in a survey which class you would like to see next in Diablo 4.
These are the results: At the time of evaluation, 4,700 readers participated in the survey. Everyone could only vote once. Here is the distribution of votes:
Rank 9 – Warrior: 2.61 % (123 votes)
Rank 8 – Mage: 3.91 % (184 votes)
Rank 7 – Assassin: 7.62 % (358 votes)
Rank 6 – Demon Hunter: 9.21 % (433 votes)
Rank 5 – Amazon: 9.79 % (480 votes)
Rank 4 – Crusader: 10.62 % (499 votes)
Here are also your top 3 of the most desired classes for Diablo 4.
Rank 3: Witch Doctor
13.7 % (644 votes)
This is the Witch Doctor: For most inhabitants of Sanctuary, the existence of the Witch Doctors is a mystery. Many consider them a legend, as very few members of the isolated Umbaru tribes fulfill the necessary conditions to attain the rank of a Witch Doctor.
Through long training, connection with nature, and their spirits, a Witch Doctor can establish a connection to the realm of the dead. They are sensitive to changes that occur there and hear the howling and lamentations of souls that have been violently torn from life.
In our survey, you chose this quirky class from Diablo 3 as Rank 3 in the ranking.
Rank 2: Monk
13.89 % (653 votes)
This is the Monk: The monks of Ivgorod are among the most feared fighters in all of Sanctuary. The body and mind of a monk are honed over many years through rigorous training and rituals, allowing them to maintain perfect focus in battle.
Only in rare cases are monks allowed to leave the halls of their monasteries and venture into the world. Those who do so without permission face the death penalty upon return. The few chosen ones set out on behalf of the patriarchs to use their excellent melee skills to maintain balance.
In our ranking, you selected the monk as Rank 2 of the most desired classes for Diablo 4.
This is the Paladin: For these holy warriors, their faith is both their shield and their sword with which they slay the minions of the Burning Hells. They consecrate their weapons with their own blood and must lead a modest life to resist all temptations.
In addition to physical weapons, the Paladins are also masters of sacred magic that they rain down upon their enemies. They can also enhance their body and strength through auras. However, most Paladin orders have since dissolved. Only a few remain to continue the eternal fight against evil.
With almost 30 % of the votes, the Paladin has emerged as the clear favorite among MeinMMO readers, taking first place in our ranking.

In Destiny 2, after the Lightfall release, you will increasingly encounter players who do not know exactly how to trigger the heroic versions of public events. This often leads to frustration among fellow players. However, with our overview, this annoyance can be easily avoided.
With Lightfall, returning and new guardians have joined Destiny 2. As an experienced player, you will notice this repeatedly in activities that pair you with random teammates – including public events.
Update March 16, 2023: We have updated this article with the new event on Neptune from the Lightfall DLC.
[toc]
Newbies often cause frustration when triggering heroic events
Veterans annoyed: Do you as a veteran know the problem? You are currently playing with three randoms in the Throne World to participate in the new public event “Resonance Shard” and want to activate the heroic version of the public event. But apparently, you are the only one who really knows what to do. With a heavy heart, you will have to settle for the completion of the normal event and less loot shortly thereafter.
Newbies overwhelmed: Or have you just joined and are experiencing the whole thing from the opposite perspective? You want to participate in a public event and have (still) no idea why others are running from one corner to another and shooting at random spots or spaceships? Hardly having started, the event is almost over without your involvement, and you have no idea how or why?

New gameplay of Destiny 2: Lightfall takes you to spectacular heights – “This moment was made for Guardians”
The interesting thing is that even experienced guardians have admitted that they do not know the exact details of some events or have performed some mechanics incorrectly up until now. So it is not exclusively newbies or returners who sometimes fail to trigger a heroic event.
For veterans, returners, and newbies: To avoid these problems, we have summarized all public events in an overview for you and explain how you can start the respective heroic version.
How to start all public events in Destiny 2 heroically
Currently, there are a total of 14 public events in Destiny 2 that are distributed across various locations. The name of the event will be displayed on the left side of the screen at the start.
The Glimmer Extraction – Destroy 3 Glimmer Generators
Location: ETZ on Earth, Cosmodrome, Nessus, Europa
Heroic Mode: To trigger the heroic mode, you must destroy three Fallen generators that appear around the extraction area. You can recognize them by the fact that they take damage as soon as the devices are targeted. You must destroy the generators before you take out the marked Captains.
Heroic Mode: To trigger the heroic mode, you should immediately take out all the small elite servitors that spawn shortly and protect their big brother with a shield. Be quick, as the small servitors will disappear relatively fast.
The heroic Fallen event rewards you with 2 runners
The Fallen Runner – Deactivate 3 Forcefield Domes
Location: ETZ on Earth, Moon
Heroic Mode: Here you must deactivate the three energy domes that spawn in the operational area. If you destroy a leg of the runner, it collapses and drops three arc orbs that you must place in the holders of the three domes (two per dome, for a total of six). Once you have deactivated all force fields, the event will trigger heroically.
Heroic Mode: To defeat the witches, you must deactivate their shields. This happens when you stand on the obvious seal plates. After the two witches die, stay on the plates and destroy the crystals above the witch portal on the right and left. This will trigger the heroic version of the event.
Heroic Mode: Three plates must be captured while the Vex sacrifice themselves at the Conflux. From the Conflux, three beams lead to the nearby platforms, making them impossible to miss. At the same time, be careful that not too many Vex sacrifice themselves in the middle (maximum 10), otherwise the event is lost.
The Possessed Blight – Destroy the Large Blight Sphere
Location: ETZ on Earth, Dreaming City
Heroic Mode: To trigger the heroic variant, you need to pick up a buff from a smaller blight sphere and then shoot at the large sphere. The buff lasts five seconds and allows you to deal damage to the large sphere.
Heroic Mode: If you want to trigger the heroic variant, you have to shoot at the opening valves of the Cabal machine after each eliminated Elite Psion. These shimmer orange and take damage when you shoot at them. Note that these valves are only open for a short time. Additionally, you take damage when firing at the valves since you must be in a dome that is burning on the bottom.
Heroic Mode: Kill the two witches with yellow health bars that spawn as the event progresses. Then take out the respective howler that opens after the witches’ death. Repeat this three times before you have secured the satellite 100%. Then the heroic version of the event will start.
The Ether Ritual – Kill the Mini-Boss, Destroy the Floating Ether
Location: Dreaming City, Throne World
Heroic Mode: Three Dredge Lieutenants spawn one after another. Each time you defeat a Dredge Lieutenant, “concentrated Ether” is released. This concentrated, floating Ether must be shot before it reaches the Servitor in the center. If you are able to fend off the concentrated Ethers of all three Dredge Lieutenants, the heroic event will start immediately.
Heroic Mode: At the end of each wave, Blights will emerge at three possible locations around the generator. Eliminate these Blights quickly. Once you have defeated three Blights, a large Possessed Blight will spawn directly above the generator along with three Possessed Witches. Defeat the Witches before the generator is destroyed, and the heroic event will begin.
Krux Convergence – The Fight Against Giant Bombers
Location: Europa
Heroic Mode: Find the trio of scanning drones, as you must destroy them. They fly around the three Kruxes. These drones are hard to hit and have a short time window, so speed is key. Once you have shot down all the drones, the heroic event begins, and a mega robot known as “Fallen Commodore” lands, which you just have to defeat.
The Resonance Shard event in Savathun’s Throne World
The Resonance Shard – Collect the Energy Orbs
Location: Throne World
Heroic Mode: While you escort the sled through the Throne World, some enemies drop small, orange orbs that you can collect. These are resonance charges. So grab the orbs whenever you can and throw them at the shard. Usually, 5-6 orbs are enough to switch the event into heroic mode. However, you need to look closely, as they are easy to overlook.
On Neomuna, Bungie designed the public event differently. While there are two Public Events on Neptune where the event symbol is displayed, these cannot be triggered heroically.
Only by closely inspecting the events can you find the special event
It is only important that you play it to the end, as only then will you get the loot.
Location: Neomuna
Active Event Zone: To participate in the event, you need patience, as it is random and does not appear often. You need to keep checking the map in the area of the Vex Assault Zone.
Now you need to defend yourself against hordes of Vex and six giant Vex Minotaur bosses within the time limit. If you play to the end, you will receive a loot chest that contains an exotic engram.
Note: The event does not drop exotic armor that players have not yet unlocked. Therefore, you cannot obtain any of the new Lightfall exotics before you earn them in a solo sector.
A gamer had bought an upgrade for his gaming PC. But Amazon is sending him way too much. Some consider him a lucky guy, while others warn of potential problems.
Now a user on reddit posted a picture of how he is holding an entire box of RAM in his hands – instead of the 2 sticks he officially ordered.
In the comments on reddit, the incident is being discussed lively and with amusement:
Some explain that such mistakes happen more often. One person writes that new employees are put under a lot of pressure at first and then accidentally pack too much. The error eventually becomes apparent.
Some people also question the purchase. One explains that the picture looks as if the poster works in the warehouse and could quickly post a picture of a RAM box on reddit and gain fame (via reddit.com).
Others explain that they never have such “luck.” One person writes (via reddit.com): “I order things from Amazon and they are marked as delivered but never appear. Other people order things from Amazon and get 10 times what they bought.”
As crazy as the story sounds, many initially consider it a huge stroke of luck. Because instead of just receiving the purchased product, there is also a huge bonus, and that rarely happens. At MeinMMO, we want to address the question: How should one behave correctly in such a situation?
Too much delivered RAM does not belong to the “buyer” at all
Can I just keep the goods? No, because the excess RAM (or double processor or whatever you received too much of) does not belong to you. After all, you only concluded a purchase contract with Amazon for a specific quantity.
Famous lawyer Christian Solmecke explained that you could quickly get into trouble. He says (via rundschau-online.de):
If the seller mistakenly delivers too much, you are obligated to inform him. Otherwise, you could have legal issues.
If it is a mistake, you must proceed as described above. If you sell, gift, or dispose of the item, the entrepreneur can demand damages.
Do I have to run to the post office right away? No, no one should expect you to run to the post office immediately and return excess goods. First, contact the seller and set a deadline for the return.
They can then either pick up the goods themselves or provide you with a shipping label. After all, you should not have to return anything at your own expense. After all, it is the seller’s mistake and not yours.
Especially with bulky products, like a mattress, you should opt for pickup. After all, the seller cannot expect that you carry a large mattress across the village.
It is definitely important that in the end, you do not pay for the return or get stuck with the costs. This is regulated in BGB§ 241a (3) (via dahag.de). The seller cannot demand money for excess goods since you did not conclude a purchase contract for them. Therefore, do not let yourself be pressured if the seller threatens you with additional payments.
Sellers almost always notice when goods are missing
Do sellers find out? The argument of such “lucky guys,” to do nothing and quietly keep the goods, is often that no one would know that they have received too much. So why report goods that no one knows about?
Often, sellers or service providers take precautions against such errors. Packages are weighed, and here it can already be noticed that the shipped package is too heavy. Sooner or later, the error will become apparent in the booking system. Expensive models are often secured.
In the case of the package with the RAM, the significantly higher weight is sure to stand out. Because even the buyer already noticed when unpacking that the package is too heavy for 2 simple sticks.
Therefore, do not rely too much on your “luck” and do not enjoy hardware that does not belong to you for too long.

Problems with returns: Sellers like Amazon do not always show goodwill or helpfulness when it comes to returns. This is demonstrated by the story of a family father. He received the wrong GPU on Amazon, but the seller refused a refund:
In Pokémon GO many trainers use raids to secure legendary monsters. Now, surprisingly, there is finally a new feature that could make this even easier soon. We at MeinMMO show you what it is.
What are Raids? In Pokémon GO, you can not only catch monsters in the wild but also face different bosses in raids, which you can secure for yourself after a successful battle. Especially the legendary Pokémon from level 5 raids are highly sought after by trainers.
Often, these cannot be managed alone, and therefore you need proper support from other players in battle. Now, Niantic has surprisingly introduced a new feature that could make it easier to defeat these bosses in the future.
New raid feature now allows you to invite more trainers
Until now, after entering the lobby, you could invite up to 5 of your friends to this raid to get support from them. However, the invited trainers did not always join the battle, which could mean several attempts before achieving the required number of participants for the raid. However, this should become easier now.
What is now different? As reddit user JRE47 shows in his video, you can now invite more than 5 people to a raid. He invites 5 friends as usual. After a waiting period of about 30 seconds, the invite button turns green again, and he can invite more trainers.
The previously invited players remain grayed out and therefore cannot be selected again. He repeats this process several times. He writes (via reddit.com): “I can invite friends to the raid every 30 seconds.”

What some trainers initially consider a bug and assume this might change soon seems to be intentional by Niantic. Looking into the help function from support, you can find the following note in the explanations regarding the invite function:
Keep in mind that the number of trainers who can participate in a raid is limited, and this limit also applies to invited friends. You can only invite up to 5 friends at the same time, but after a short cooldown period, you can invite more friends to the same lobby if you want.
What does the change mean for trainers? With the new feature, trainers finally have the opportunity to invite more players to this raid after a short waiting period. This is especially helpful when there are not enough participants to complete the raid smoothly.
Until now, trainers coped by leaving the lobby after inviting the first group, rejoining the raid, and resetting the invite button to select more friends. Alternatively, some players would also jump out of the lobby shortly before the start if they felt the group size was too small, only to re-invite again. This often led to frustration.
Now, you can easily invite more players after just a few seconds. With a little luck, you may generate enough participants for the raid this way. In this way, more trainers also have the chance to participate in one of these raids with popular monsters, as more players receive an invitation.
Would you actually cheat if you couldn’t get caught? Vote in our poll about it:
Trainer finds: “This is a lifesaver for people like me”
In the community, the new feature is particularly well received, as there has been criticism from some players over the years that every trainer could only invite 5 friends to a raid.
Many trainers see a significant advantage in that they no longer have to leave the lobby to invite more players, even though this takes a bit longer due to the 30-second cooldown.
As more invitations can be sent, there may also be more players to support in the raid. However, some still have concerns that this is just a bug and that it might disappear again soon. One can read the following on reddit:
gohanmahesh: “This is a lifesaver for people like me. I hated having to invite a second group, hoping there wouldn’t be any lag.”
POGOFan808: “Wow! No need to leave and rejoin?! This is huge because leaving and rejoining to send out the next group of 5 invites eats up valuable seconds […] .”
Mason11987: “This is a really significant improvement that brings no obvious drawbacks. I’m shocked and impressed!”
Matty8520: “This is fantastic! No more leaving the lobby and rejoining. […] Well done, Niantic. Please, please let this not be a bug.”
canttaketheskyfrmme: “Is this real?! You no longer have to leave the lobby to invite more friends? Undoubtedly the best quality of life update (overdue and simple) for anyone who raids, but especially for those of us who host!”
Can more trainers also participate via remote raid? In the comments, the question often arises whether the maximum number of participants in remote raids has changed as well. This is not officially known yet. So far, up to 20 trainers could be in the same raid lobby at the same time, of which only up to 10 players could use a remote raid pass.
However, according to some trainers, there have already been reports that players could invite up to 15 friends with remote raid passes (via reddit.com). To what extent this is true remains to be seen. Should there be new information on this, you will find it here on MeinMMO.
How do you like the new raid feature? Have you tried it and invited multiple groups to the raid? Or do you primarily play with a local community? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange your thoughts with other trainers.
Especially in 2018 and 2019, the online shooter Fortnite was enormously popular, especially among teenagers and children. However, the behavior of the developer Epic Games has almost five years later resulted in an expensive aftermath: The trade regulation authority in the USA has imposed a fine of 245 million $ (230.87 million €) on the company. Already in December 2022, Epic had to pay even more money.
How much money does Epic Games have to pay? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has now stated (via ftc) that Epic Games must refund 245 million $ to customers because they used “Dark Patterns,” designed to trick players into purchasing items they did not want to buy.
Moreover, Epic Games made it possible for children to spend money without their parents being aware.
Already in December 2022, there was an announcement that Epic Games would have to pay 275 million $ to settle violations of a statute designed to protect children’s privacy.
The new announcement from March 14, 2023, states that the decisions from December 19, 2022, are finalized and will take effect. After the FTC voted 4-0.

Children bought skins without parental permission with a single wrong click
What exactly is Epic Games being accused of? Epic is accused of applying a series of design tricks known as “Dark Patterns” to get customers to buy things in the game that they did not want to buy:
The system allegedly had “buttons arranged so confusingly” that players could purchase cosmetic items with a single wrong click.
The purchase processes were inconsistent and counterintuitive: thus extra confusing and misleading to wrong actions.
The company made it too easy for children to purchase things in the shop without having parental permission.
In December 2018, Fortnite made huge profits once again with special promotions:
Moreover, the company simply blocked people who complained about unauthorized charges.
This practice is now forbidden for Epic Games in the future.
Epic wants to be a leader in customer protection
How does Epic Games respond? They already stated in December 2022 that they want to be at the “forefront” of customer protection and explained numerous changes to their system that have been made since 2018 to better protect players.
Epic Games proved to be a master at making money with Fortnite in 2018. A key role was played by Twitch streamers:

GTA Online: Los Santos Drug Wars: The Last Dose – Trailer
What contents does the update bring?
What is known: In a blog post, Rockstar Games has already revealed a few details about the contents that the update brings today. It is clear: the drug theme remains.
In the story, you can expect “hallucinations, kidnappings, and revenge”. Five new story missions will bring you closer to the connection between illegal drug trade in Los Santos and the pharmaceutical industry. And the return of which story character fits in well here? Exactly, that of Dr. Isiah Friedlander, the psychotherapist of Michael and his family.
What we expect: As is customary with these DLCs from Rockstar Games, a few new vehicles should also find their way into the game. Some directly at launch, others in the coming weeks.
There should also be clothing and some bonuses for you.
Do you like these story updates for GTA Online or would you rather wish for bigger patches with new heists?

For the newest race in World of Warcraft, much is likely to change soon. At least that’s what Game Director Ion Hazzikostas suggests.
The Dracthyr are indeed a special folk in World of Warcraft Dragonflight. They are the only species that can become “casters”, and at the same time, that is the only class that a Dracthyr can choose. Every Dracthyr is a caster, and every caster is a Dracthyr.
However, this could change. For Game Director hints that Dracthyr will likely be able to choose other classes in the future.
Where does the information come from? In a group interview with wowhead and several WoW content creators, many questions were posed to Game Director Ion Hazzikostas. Although it mainly revolved around the upcoming Patch 10.0.7, other questions were asked as well. Wowhead has published a summary of the interview, which also touched on whether Dracthyr would only ever remain casters. In response, Hazzikostas said:
There is a high chance that Dracthyr will eventually be able to wield weapons and cast frostbolts.
Even though “frostbolts” clearly allude to mages, Hazzikostas likely meant to express that Dracthyr will be able to choose significantly more classes in the future. In the past, “a high chance” has almost always meant at Blizzard that the feature is already in planning.
On the other hand, this seems rather unlikely. The talent tree of casters is closely intertwined with the Dracthyr – and due to the dragon abilities, that would make little sense for other races.
What else was said? Hazzikostas also mentioned in the interview that they want to make more class-race combos accessible and add them over time. They aim to create as much diversity as possible while ensuring that the story also provides a logical reason why a specific race can now choose a corresponding class.
That makes sense, after all, many races have a long history and corresponding development. For instance, warlocks would likely be difficult to justify for “Lightforged Draenei”. Such restrictions also exist for some other races that would first need a story reason.
When will this come? When Dracthyr can choose other classes is still unclear. So far, there is no indication that this could be the case in Patch 10.1 Ashes of Neltharion – hence, the earliest possible date for that would be Patch 10.1.5, which is only set to arrive later in the summer. However, Hazzikostas may also have meant that new classes for Dracthyr will only be playable in the next expansion or even later.
However, it seems clear that this is coming – and at some point, significantly more Dracthyr will glide through Azeroth.

The manufacturer EVGA offers the X15, an MMO mouse. A lot of buttons are supposed to make the mouse interesting for MMO players. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has tested the gaming mouse.
MMO mice are rather niche and primarily appeal to specific individuals who need many buttons. Manufacturers such as Razer, Logitech, and Corsair have established their mice, with Razer’s Naga series being the most well-known representative and Razer confidently calling its Naga V2 Pro (Test) the “MMO king.”
The X15 from EVGA also targets MMO players and features a total of 10 buttons on the side and 2 additional buttons in the thumb area.
But how does the mouse perform in the test? I was able to extensively test the mouse and explain to you for whom the mouse is worthwhile and why it could be a real alternative for you to the market leader.
Who tested it?
Privately, I now own over 20 gaming mice and have tested over 15 keyboards. I also own over 10 sets of in-ear headphones. At MeinMMO, I have been testing hardware for our readers since 2019. Besides the PC and the PS5, I am also active on the Steam Deck.
EVGA provided me with the X15 for testing.

Contents, design, and structure
What does the package contain? Besides the gaming mouse, there is a manual in the box.
How is the mouse structured? The model features a black design:
On the top of the mouse are the main buttons and between them the four-way scroll wheel. Above the scroll wheel are two small switches that can be used to cycle through profiles, for example.
On the thumb side, there are a total of 10 buttons arranged in a circular pattern. Two of these buttons are placed slightly further forward.
To the left of the left mouse button, there are 2 additional buttons marked (as 11 and 12).
To the right of the right mouse button, there is an additional wide button.
The entire mouse is rubberized and feels quite soft, but provides a good grip in daily use. Even if the fingers get slightly damp during regular use, the mouse does not slip.
EVGA X15: Package contents of the MMO mouse.
Processing
The mouse feels well made. This is mainly due to the soft rubberized surface. The only downside: fingerprints are quickly visible on the rubberized surface.
Inside the mouse are optical switches and mechanical buttons which typically offer a longer lifespan than conventional buttons.
The cable is quite stiff and cannot be detached. However, the 1.8-meter cable is more than long enough.
Software
The EVGA X15 uses the proprietary “Unleash” software. The design does not seem very up to date, but the software works flawlessly and is pleasantly clear. All functions are easy to configure, and the software is also available in English.
EVGA avoids unnecessary clutter with „Unleash“ such as self-promotion for hardware or integration of additional software. This is something that annoys me a lot about SteelSeries, where free features and other bonuses are advertised. With Razer, at least many features can be installed or turned off optionally.
Moreover, EVGA does not require an online account or similar, which I find commendable.
In total, you can save up to 5 different profiles in the internal memory of the mouse.
Due to its small size, the software remains pleasantly lean and keeps a low profile. I appreciate such unobtrusive software: it does what it should without aggressively taking center stage.
On the next page, you’ll read all about the weight, ergonomics, and the buttons of the mouse. In the final conclusion, I’ll explain for whom the mouse could be worthwhile.

With yesterday’s Weekly Reset, the dungeon “Duality” has entered the rotation in Destiny 2. It offers players a rare chance this week to quickly and easily obtain the best gear in the entire game. MeinMMO tells you how it’s done.
Update 16.03/ 01:00 AM: This opportunity to easily obtain “Artful Armor” can no longer be utilized by players. After the option was made known to a larger number of players, Bungie reacted just a few hours later and announced via Twitter:
“Due to a problem, we have temporarily disabled the checkpoint for resuming the activity for the encounter with the Duality Caretaker.“
You can assume that Gahlran has to learn in the bootcamp from the first encounter of the Duality dungeon that one must not jump over dangerous edges and that the mechanic cannot be bypassed in the future either.
What can players obtain more easily now? The so-called “Artful Armor” from Destiny 2 is the best that players can currently obtain in the universe of the loot shooter. And this week, it only takes a few minutes to get such coveted loot.
This unique mod slot allows players to gain +3 for one of the character stats, such as Strength, Mobility, Resilience, etc.
Players who possess all 5 armor pieces in artful form have a maximum possible character stat boost of +15 to the option.
With the right distribution, this can create strong triple-100 builds. And at the Master difficulty level, armor pieces often drop between 57 to 68 max value, which is also advantageous.
Calus reveals an easy loot option to players this week
Here’s how to get the best armor in the game now
Only possible this week: The aforementioned customization options are really helpful in Bungie’s loot shooter and should be pursued by both hardcore players and new players.
This week, however, a special opportunity presents itself, as the YouTuber and official PvE god of Destiny 2, Esoterickk, has now shared a glitch trick. It shows you how to obtain the coveted armor as a solo player within minutes. However, it only works this week. So you need to hurry and bring a rope.
Here’s how to quickly get the “Artful Armor”: Normally, we would not share a glitch in the game. But in this case, it is a cheese that exploits a systemic flaw or an obvious design error.
You need to let the first boss in the Duality dungeon fall to his death. The deep abysses and the tether will help you. All options that are possible and do not require out-of-map or other unfair tricks.
You start the dungeon “Duality” at the “Master” difficulty level and equip yourself with tether specifically with the grappling hook.
Charge up, shoot the bell, and let Gahlran chase you over the abyss.
Normally, you would have to go through several damage phases with the Gahlran boss of the first Duality encounter to lift his immunity. However, he is not very attentive and will voluntarily plunge to his death with a clever abyss tactic.
While the boss falls into ruin, you use your grappling hook and swing back safely to grab your loot from the box containing the Artful Armor.
In the video, Esoterickk shows you how to best achieve this:

As I mentioned in the video, it can be done in a group or alone. The group is of course easier (both to stay alive and to maintain the checkpoint), but it’s also doable for solo players, as shown [in the video].
If you need even better gear, this gives you an easy option to improve or polish your Guardian stats a bit.
Will Bungie fix this? That can be expected. Normally, NPCs are placed back in their spots when they fall down. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case here. So it’s quite possible that Bungie quickly puts an end to this tether cheese and gives Gahlran a crash course on avoiding abysses.
What do you think of this possibility? And do you consider using it? What do your builds currently look like? Do you already have your triple-100 build, or do you not care about it at all? Feel free to leave us a comment.
If you want to know what else is happening this week in Destiny 2 and where to find top loot for reaching the top cap of 1,810, then we recommend our Weekly Reset:
CIG, the company behind Star Citizen, has apologized to players for the launch of Alpha 3.18: Lasting Legacies. They stated that they knew this ‘important milestone’ of the project would present some difficulties. However, how it played out in practice was unacceptable.
This is how Star Citizen apologizes: In the company’s weekly blog post, there is a clear apology from CIG for the catastrophic launch of patch 3.18 (via RSI).
The company says they knew a live release of the feature ‘Persistent Entity Streaming’ was necessary to see how the milestone feature would work at the scale of a live setting. Since the release on Friday, March 10, hundreds of thousands of players have checked in. However, many of them encountered issues that prevented them from logging in, and those players who could log into Star Citizen experienced a ‘less than ideal gaming experience.’
First of all, we want to apologize for the turbulence and frustration many of you have experienced since the release. Although we anticipated some initial hiccups and tried to set expectations accordingly, it is still unacceptable for us that so many of you were unable to enjoy 3.18 properly.
Please note that we are working hard to resolve the remaining issues and we are working to get things up and running as quickly as possible. While we are already seeing improvements in many areas, there is still work to be done – and the right people are working on it.
It was supposed to be a formidable weekend, but there were many issues. Here’s what’s in the patch:

Star Citizen Alpha 3.18 – Lasting Legacies
‘Embarrassingly bad – even by Star Citizen standards’
What kind of problems occurred? If you look at the forum and the game’s reddit, you read that some people have tried for hours to log into Star Citizen.
A player says: After dozens of attempts to log in, he got through once but then could not interact with anything in the game for 10 minutes. The terminals worked, the missions did not respond. And then he crashed out of the game again. That was ’embarrassingly bad – even for Star Citizen standards.’
But for a hardcore fan, that doesn’t deter them. The site PC Gamer quotes a player who says: ‘I am a backer from day one. I am not going anywhere.’
‘The patch has so much content – I am looking forward to it’
Other players even see the positive side in the bad release: ‘The people who are complaining now that they can’t play do not realize that there are so many bugs only because CIG released a patch with so much content. I am looking forward to it.’
Indeed, patch 3.18 was a big update, also because fans have been waiting for it so long. 11 months after 3.17, the patch has now arrived – the Alpha 3.18 was originally announced for 2022.
Kyedae’s fiancé is Valorant pro Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, who was participating in a major esports tournament at the time of the diagnosis. The streamer wanted to ensure that her long silence allowed him to focus on the game and his work.
Care package from Riot
What kind of package is this? Riot Games sent Kyedae two packages containing a selection of gifts and a letter with kind words. Kyedae read part of the letter during a livestream. In the letter, the developers of the tactical shooter wrote:
Hi Kyedae, our team has put together a few personal favorites that we love and find comforting. We hope they convey to you the same feeling of coziness and comfort that they do for us. This also includes some of our favorite items from Valorant and Riot.
The package included several collectible figures, which are limited to a quantity of 70, as well as a custom-designed bag.
How did the streamer react to the gift? The streamer was visibly happy about the gifts from Riot Games but was also emotionally touched by the words in the letter.
After Kyedae looked at the contents of the packages, she continued to read the letter but interrupted herself after a few lines with the words:
“Okay, I don’t want to cry. I will not read this anymore. I am just not in the mood to cry.”

Kyedae opens the package from Riot Games during a stream.
Kyedae is highly regarded in the Valorant community and has also stood out with a good heart. Nearly a year ago, in March 2022, she and her fiancé gifted a 15-year-old streamer a new PC after the girl’s father threw her long-saved computer into a pool.
