Surviving in Sons of the Forest can be cruel. Players have found this out and are increasingly surrendering to their dark side. Sometimes significantly more than they would like.
Sons of the Forest is a huge hit on Steam, primarily due to the many ways the game can be played. At its core, the game is still a survival game, meaning: you have to face dangers, and manage hunger and thirst.
But how you do that is up to you. Are you trying to make your way peacefully through the woods without drawing attention? Or do you slaughter everything you find to get food – including other people?
Some players have apparently discovered the path of violence and are now marauding through the woods, spreading fear and terror. This raises moral concerns.
Video producer Anna Alberg from MeinMMO was also quite reckless. Her crew even has the friendly mutant Virginia on their conscience:

“I started doing terrible things”
User Bamfcah started a thread on reddit, listing his misdeeds. He reports how he mutilates human opponents in Sons of the Forest or even lets them watch while he eats their body parts – while they are still alive.
(Other) cannibals seem to be his preferred and only targets. The player explains that he frees mutants that are locked up somewhere in cages and watches as they destroy the humans’ camps. He then leaves the mutants alone.
The reason: the cannibals have apparently attacked or even killed his Kelvin. The companion is an absolute favorite in the community. And apparently, many other players agree with Bamfcah that they would react similarly.
I would never let anything happen to Kelvin – I would even resort to disobedience:
Others report that they deal with cannibals in a similar way. Maybe not as extreme, but still quite ruthless and brutal. Some at least ponder their actions afterward.
The thread is one of the larger ones in the subreddit of Sons of the Forest with 79 comments. A question that many apparently ponder is: “Are we actually the bad guys?” Another user responds:
“I asked my crew the same question last night. We stormed through a camp and slaughtered everyone. As we ran away, we heard a whimper and saw a woman mourning over a corpse. I shot her in the head and realized… yes, we are the bad guys. But hey, I now have three new, fancy watches and some extra ropes.”
One of the major features of Sons of the Forest is the AI. Opponents react according to your behavior. This means: as long as you leave them alone, they usually don’t attack you either. At least up to a certain point.
They also mourn for killed friends, return to corpses and weep over them – or come to you and take revenge. While this can be mechanically exploited, some apparently find it quite burdensome.
Moral decisions, like how cruel one must be to survive, make the appeal of Sons of the Forest. Even if the game offers little in terms of story content, such tales are the reason why it is so hyped:
World of Warcraft is in a crisis that many players find frustrating. WoW demon Cortyn explains why the endgame currently has huge problems.
World of Warcraft is doing a lot of things right with Dragonflight. Many features are well-received, the reduced need for grind and general “twink-friendliness” are clear plus points. Because even though WoW has fewer players, it has become better. But the more time passes since the release, the more it becomes apparent that the endgame of the former MMORPG giant is struggling. The part “Mythic+” has turned from a fun undertaking into a torture, annoying different roles every week.
So it’s time again for me to vent a bit about the problems that have built up over months and years.
Mythic+, or: Every week a different player hates it
For those who are not familiar with WoW, here’s a brief summary: “Mythic+” is a system where you have to complete certain dungeons repeatedly at increasing difficulty. A “Mythic+12” is harder than a “Mythic+6”. With higher levels, not only does the difficulty increase through health and damage, but additional effects, known as affixes, are also added.
Affixes rotate every week, so you essentially have a different combination each week. This is meant to keep dungeons “fresh” and “interesting”.
In fact, they ensure that ranged damage dealers, melee damage dealers, or healers collectively do not want to play in the corresponding week in varying order.
In the past, there was even the affix “Necrotic”, which reduced the healing received by tanks. This forced tanks to constantly “kite” and only run back and forth in panic. The affix was so unpopular that tanks completely refused to play during the corresponding weeks – and it was subsequently removed.
This frustration that “Necrotic” caused for tanks has now spread to all other player groups.
Tanks that were just running away – a particularly annoying affix that robbed many of their enjoyment.
“Raging”, “Volcanic”, and “Thunderous” require ranged damage dealers to essentially be in constant motion and to interrupt every second or third spell – not to mention channeled spells.
This week, “Bursting”, “Tyrannical”, and “Terrifying” suddenly have all healers facing acute internet problems that will likely only be resolved next Wednesday.
Affixes are no longer an enhancement but ruin the enjoyment of a class. A shadow priest who has to interrupt every second spell due to some super annoying affix mechanic simply isn’t fun. A healer who has to click on fireballs the whole time is also far from the fantasy one actually enjoys.

WoW Dragonflight: All Dungeons of Season 1 in the Ranking
Why are people only complaining now?
The first question that inevitably arises: Why is this suddenly a topic? After all, World of Warcraft has had affixes and the “Mythic+” system for many years. Why is the community suddenly noticing that this system is annoying?
This is probably mainly due to the fact that WoW has had very different, bigger problems in recent years. The overload of different systems, the narrative difficulties, and the twink-unfriendly mechanics especially in Shadowlands led to criticism being focused on completely different aspects.
Mythic+ stood out as “solid” at that time. It was never exceptionally good, but also never particularly bad. It was an acceptable pastime. A constant that always brought good loot and a clear incentive to improve.
With Dragonflight, a lot has changed. WoW is more twink-friendly than ever before. Dragon-flying has made travel interactive again. The game world is more open, and goals are more purposeful to achieve. The reputation factions with smaller tiers feel more rewarding and no longer so overwhelming.
Or in other words: The majority of World of Warcraft has shifted from “bad” to “good”. But Mythic+ has remained in the “medium” range – and stands out as a negative example.
A look at the subreddit or the forums of World of Warcraft reveals every day one or more threads that increasingly receive more approval. It is a problem that has long simmered and is now flaring up.
WoW fans are fed up with affixes – they need to change fundamentally.
How can Blizzard fix the problem?
Because “just complaining” is something anyone can do and is rarely productive (but often fun), I want to present some possible solutions as well.
Option 1: Positive affixes for more fun
In the WoW community, the idea of fundamentally reworking all affixes has been circulating for a few weeks. Instead of the affixes only being negative aspects to be avoided, they could have positive effects for the group if played correctly. The Reddit user “MrKny” had the following ideas for all affixes:
Bloodied: Now heals everyone standing in the pool of blood.
Encouraging: Also boosts players, even if only briefly.
Explosive: Destroying the orbs grants 1% haste per orb, the buff lasts 30 seconds and is stackable 20 times.
Terrifying: When the effect is removed, it gives the dispeller or the last healer a random 10% buff to haste, crit, mastery, or versatility for a few seconds.
Bursting: Also deals reduced damage to nearby enemies.
Enraged: Also applies to players below 30% health and remains for 10 seconds afterwards.
Raging: Slams all nearby enemies when the effect ends.
Stormy: Grants players and enemies 5% haste per tornado nearby.
Volcanic: Can now also hit enemies and give them a debuff, causing them to take extra damage.
Surely this change would require a rebalancing of the dungeons, and some fights could indeed become harder. But that’s okay. At least I want to fight against the abilities of the mobs and bosses in a dungeon, and not against the “weekly bullshit” that’s thrown in my way this time.
Option 2: Abolishing all affixes except the seasonal one
A second option that could simply be tried out would be the abolishment of all affixes except for a seasonal affix. This way, the “flair” of a specific season could be retained, and small accents could be set. Whether that’s “Thunderous” or “Awakened” or something completely different. With a limitation of only one affix, Blizzard could also think significantly more creatively and larger – or simply keep it to a small “side effect”.
More about World of Warcraft can be found here on MeinMMO:
Another option would be, instead of affixes, to give bosses (and perhaps also trash) new mechanics from a certain level (about “Mythic+10”). This could be a new boss ability in every fight. In parts, this is even already present in WoW, if somewhat unintentionally.
Here I explicitly mention positively the Academy of Algeth’ar, at least two bosses. Because both Crawth and the Echo of Doragosa have mechanics that only become truly relevant in longer fights.
The bird Crawth is initially a simple fight. You dodge a cone-shaped attack and heal the area damage that comes in every few seconds. Especially at lower levels, you can blow this boss away before anything else happens.
But at higher key levels, you must also shoot gates. This applies a debuff to the player, resulting in the area damage from the boss being reduced again. At the same time, it covers the entire battlefield with negative effects for the rest of the fight. Permanently falling fire fields, tornadoes, and winds that slowly shift the character are the consequences. Basically, a mechanic that only becomes relevant at higher levels.
Doragosa and Crawth are examples of fights that automatically become more difficult at higher levels.
Even more drastic is the case with Doragosa. When we first fought the Echo of Doragosa at “M0”, we were visibly confused. The fight was over very quickly, and apart from “Everyone gets pulled” and “The dragon breathes towards a target,” nothing else happened. For a final boss, it was astonishingly boring and uneventful.
However, this changes dramatically at higher levels. Because every time you are hit by Doragosa’s abilities, you receive a debuff. Once you have 3 stacks of this debuff, you leave a harmful area on the ground that not only takes up space but also fires arcane orbs through the room every few seconds, spreading the debuff further. What starts out manageable becomes a chain reaction that creates more and more areas with longer fights.
This ability is basically a “new” ability that only appears at high key levels. Such mechanics that continuously become harder can be wonderfully utilized for M+.
For me, it’s relatively clear that affixes in their current form are no longer sustainable, and at least my guild has already drawn consequences. From two nights of “Mythic+” per week, it has now become one – and they are also only playing as much as “absolutely necessary” for a good reward.
And that is incredibly unfortunate because the dungeons themselves are so much fun for me that I want to visit them many dozens of times.
But at least I have hope – because in recent months Blizzard has been very diligent in responding to player demands.

In April 2023, the big gaming event CAGGTUS will take place in Leipzig. Our FYNG team will be there. Find out here what is planned.
What is a CAGGTUS? The “CAGGTUS” is not named so because it is a homage to spiky desert plants. Rather, behind the quirky name lies a proper gaming event with Germany’s largest LAN party, an entertainment area, booths with merchandise, and a cosplay competition. So, an event by and for the gaming community. The big bash takes place from April 14 to April 16, 2023, at the Leipzig Messe.
And somehow, it does have something to do with cacti. Because at the predecessor event Dreamhack, green spiky plants were always placed at the LAN party. This trend also continued in other events organized by the responsible parties, and now the power of the cactus is so massive that the thorny plants lend their name to a big new event. The GG in CAGGTUS stands for “Good Game,” the traditional farewell greeting after a good gaming session.
What is FYNG actually? Behind FYNG (Find your Next Game) is a format in which we present you high-quality content about gaming. Among others, the Webedia sites GameStar, GamePro, and MeinMMO are involved.

The CAGGTUS offers something for every player type.
Where can you find us? We have set up an epic studio of 160 m² on site for our FYNG CAGGTUS. You can find us in the USK 12 area in the entertainment section. Our planned streaming times are daily from 10 AM to 6 PM, on Sunday until 5 PM.
What do we actually do there? According to the FYNG motto “Find your next Game,” we will introduce you to games and let you discover them. This way, you might find the one or other hidden gem that you haven’t had on your radar yet.
In addition, there will be more exciting content that FYNG is currently shaping. A major highlight will be our live podcasts, where we talk about new trends and timeless gaming topics. There will also be community interaction, including live voting on topics.

In Destiny 2, a conflict is currently raging on two fronts – on Earth and Neomuna. But even in the Last City, a special surprise awaited the returning Guardians in the form of a monument that was four years overdue. MeinMMO takes you back to the past.
This is how Destiny 2 surprised its players: Currently, the Guardians in Destiny 2 have their hands full. A war is raging on two fronts that must be won. Both on Earth and in the new Lightfall location, Neomuna.
The Tower, the main social place in Destiny 2, is still standing and not only renovated in Lightfall, but also become a place of community. Enemies have turned into friends, and now one can conduct their Guardian business there among Cabals, Eliksni, and Awoken.
But in the now most beautiful corner of the renovated Tower, Bungie has finally placed a overdue monument for a once very popular NPC of the loot shooter – Cayde-6.
Unmissable: The new monument for the former Hunter Vanguard, Cayde-6
This is what his monument looks like: After the first battles, the Guardians flew back to the Tower to be surprised by Bungie’s “renovations”. The old Tower has been renovated, and a few of its holes that testified to the last battles were patched up.
In a newly created area, right next to the Commander of the Vanguard, a small idyllic corner has emerged, and a tree has been planted. There stands the overdue monument of Cayde-6. Players could also listen to several voice lines about him from still-living NPCs.
The new monument is a bust with a plaque that shows his weapon, the Ace of Spades. Below it, his name “Cayde-6” is written in concrete, making him more present than ever. Until now, there were only very hidden memories of him in the Tower.
One memory was the Ace of Spades plaque, before going to Zavala. But it was so inconspicuous that Guardians walked over it without noticing.
The second was in the ramen shop on the marketplace by Ikora. But again, you had to know exactly where to look because there was no further explanation.

The Ace of Spades is Cayde-6’s trademark in Destiny 2
What fans loved about Cayde-6: The Forsaken DLC in Destiny 2, the very first expansion, is long forgotten, and along with it one of the biggest gunslingers that has graced the loot shooter.
As Hunter Vanguard, he last worked in the Tower next to Zavala and Ikora in 2018. He never liked the job, but he dedicated himself to his Hunters with great passion.
His trademark: the Ace of Spades. Both as a symbol and as a weapon. To this day, the Ace of Spades, Cayde’s exotic hand cannon, remains one of the top weapons in the game that many players appreciate.
To this day, the Ace of Spades is a weapon that many players appreciate
Although Cayde served absolutely dutifully, he always longed to get back out, away from the Tower … to be a free Hunter. But his duty rarely allowed him that.
But Cayde-6 was not only quick with the gun. He was also quick-witted and was regarded in Destiny as the “jokester with heart”. He always had a relaxed quip ready that made many players smile and did not take himself too seriously, whether in Strikes or story missions.
With his Exo charm, it was no wonder that he quickly won the hearts of many Destiny fans. And that was surprising, considering he never wanted to be a hero.
This is how Cayde-6 was killed: The Destiny gunslinger was not only brave and adventurous but also completely crazy and reckless. And that ultimately cost him his life in 2018 in the Forsaken DLC. He only wanted to blow off some steam with Petra Venj in the Prison of Elders. But, as it goes, it went horribly wrong. At that time, even the Guardians could do nothing about his fate and had to witness his execution.
Essentially, a gunslinger who had to die to become a hero:
Particularly ironic in this context is the personal message from Crow that Guardians can listen to at the monument. There, he says:
I wish I could have met him …
says Crow in a voice line at the Cayde-6 monument
In a way, he has already met him – just not personally, but fatally with the hand cannon Ace of Spades.
The most dramatic moment from Forsaken: Uldren Sov (alias Crow) kills Cayde-6
New Light Guardians don’t even know Cayde-6: In 2023, hardly any Guardian knows the tragic fate of Cayde-6. Many players don’t know what to make of him or his name. They neither know his fate nor him. But apparently, Bungie wants to change that in Lightfall.
Is there perhaps still a Cayde comeback?
This is why Bungie might want you to know Cayde-6: With the monument, Bungie is once again drawing attention to a dead character after four years. One has to ask: Why?
It could simply be a special gesture to fulfill a long-awaited wish of the veterans.
Or Bungie might have something planned with Cayde that makes it necessary for as many players as possible to have already heard his name.
Whether there’s a comeback or not – in the end, time will tell. In Lightfall, Guardians still have four seasons of fresh content ahead of them. And also in “The Final Shape,” the last DLC, there will certainly still be a few “good old stories” to tell. Perhaps with particularly popular characters.
Did you know Cayde-6? And what do you think of the idea of the monument? Was it long overdue, or not worth mentioning? Feel free to write it in the comments.

In the Korean League of Legends league (LCK), the best players in the world compete. In the game between T1 and KT Rolster, the supporter Ryu “Keria” Min-seok used an extraordinary champion. He played Varus as support.
Who is Keria?
Keria is one of the greatest talents ever seen in LoL. He was discovered at the age of 16 by coach cvMax at “Kingzone Dragon.” The controversial coach is known for having a knack for talent but is rough with his players: He allegedly once choked one of his players.
Keria made his breakthrough in 2020 at DRX, which reached the Worlds. After the tournament, the highly talented team fell apart.
Keria joined T1, the team of three-time world champion Faker. Things went mediocre in 2021 – in the middle of it, they even fired the coaches, but managed to reach the semifinals of the Worlds. However, in 2022, T1 made it to the finals.

What does Keria warn about? During the 2022 World Championship, there were many enchanters in the support role. However, the meta has changed, and currently, the role is shaped by many ranged champions. Champions like Ashe have been seen occasionally in that position, but Keria took it further and played Varus as support.
After the game against KT Rolster in spring 2023, Keria and Oner gave an interview. The question was raised about what advice Keria would give to players wanting to imitate his pick.
In the interview, the player smiled and warned players very emphatically. “You are not Keria. Your teammates are not from T1. Keep that in mind.”

What does this mean for you? As the best support player in League of Legends, Keria has the opportunity to try out unconventional play tactics. And even though his answer in the interview seems harsh, he makes a valid point. He regularly plays and trains his skills on various champions. His teammates are also among the best players in the world.
For this reason, you should carefully consider whether Varus as support is right for you. Your teammates in solo queue are usually not among the best players in the world. So keep Keria’s warning in mind when deciding which champion you want to play as a supporter the next time.

Microsoft CEO Bill Gates was passionate about playing Minesweeper. With a trick, he could finally be freed from it.
The small game Minesweeper is still known to many. This small, graphically inconspicuous game was installed on every Windows system back then. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates was almost obsessed with this game and achieving new high scores.
The story of the Minesweeper addiction and the trick is told by journalist Kyle Orland in his book, which you can currently support on Kickstarter.
To free him from his addiction, his colleague Bruce Ryan came up with a trick. As soon as you click on a field in Minesweeper, all the fields in the surrounding area without a mine are revealed. With a certain layout, where all mines were positioned in a particular corner, you could win the game directly with one click. But to do that, you have to play for hours until you hit the perfect combination.
Ryan wrote a macro with the Windows software “Macro Recorder” that always clicked on a specific corner and then started a new round of the game.
I set it up there and then went to a meeting for a day, and four hours later it had [won in one second] while I was away. I felt very efficient because I did that while I wasn’t even in the office.
He then sent a screenshot of it to Bill Gates, whom he explained that his old record had been broken and that he surely couldn’t beat the new 1-second record. Gates replied that these things were going too far:
My critical skills are being overshadowed by a computer. This technology thing is going too far. If machines can do things faster than humans, how can we still preserve our human dignity?
Today, technology is capable of much different things than it was 20 years ago. For example, the company OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, wanted to find out if an artificial intelligence could play Minecraft. And it actually works, but the path to it is long and difficult:
In Diablo 3, you deal so much damage with your attacks that almost the entire screen is covered with it. This makes it hard to track which ability causes how much damage and which enemies are affected. In Diablo 4, this is supposed to be different, the developers revealed in a livestream.
What did the developers say? In a livestream on February 28, Blizzard employees discussed some details about Diablo 4. One topic was the damage numbers. These are not supposed to be as absurdly high as in the predecessor, but instead significantly smaller.
Lead Systems Designer Meng Song explained that initially, the health points in Diablo 4 were steadily increased:
If we want to increase the defense of a monster from level 31 to level 32 by 10%, that means the level 32 monster will have 10% more health points. If you do that from level one to level 100, you end up with a very large number, even in the billions or trillions.
Game Director Joe Shely said that the numbers then are “hard to understand,” especially because the combat system is so fast and action-packed. The interface is also completely overloaded by these high numbers.
That’s why Diablo 4 focuses on higher armor values for enemies that avoid incoming damage, rather than simply increasing their health points.
How bad and confusing the numbers already looked in Diablo 3 is shown in this screenshot. You neither know which damage belongs to which enemy nor can you read the numbers well. This should not happen in the successor:
Discussion about armor design and new areas in the GameStar video
What else happened in Diablo 4? In the livestream, the developers also discussed the design of the gear and showed the rewards for reaching level 20 in the beta.
Overall, the video is received very well by the community, and there is praise for how the developers communicate with the players. You can watch the one-hour discussion on YouTube.
In addition, our colleagues at GameStar released a new video about the game on February 27, summarizing the key information about Diablo 4 and especially showing new areas and new monsters.
What do you think about the adjustments to the damage numbers? Do you find it important or do you not care about the overview and just value slicing through the enemies? Feel free to share it in the comments.

Three former playtesters told a gaming website how an entire team of 200 people was laid off in a single Zoom call by Electronic Arts (EA).
Apex Legends is a well-known shooter that enjoys great popularity worldwide. For Electronic Arts, it has been the bright spot in financial reports among shooters in recent years, after the MMO shooter Anthem was discontinued early, Star Wars: Battlefront was phased out, and Battlefield was struggling.
However, over 200 QA testers (“Quality Assurance”) at Electronic Arts were reportedly unexpectedly fired without warning in a Zoom call. The team worked in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Three former employees told the gaming website Kotaku exactly what happened and what transpired after the layoffs.
Here you can see a trailer for Apex Legends:

Apex Legends: Revelry Gameplay Trailer
The entire QA team in Baton Rouge has been laid off
What do the employees say? Three employees told Kotaku about how the layoff unfolded. They wish to remain anonymous as they were not authorized to speak with the press.
On Tuesday, February 28, 2023, the QA testers were invited to an unscheduled meeting with Magnit Global, their contracting agency, via Zoom. They were advised to join from their personal phone or PC.
Then the entire QA team was laid off. The team there was responsible for quality assurance for different EA games, but had been involved with the shooter Apex Legends since its launch in 2019.
Allegedly, the news came as a surprise not only to the laid-off employees but also to the full-time supervisors, who reportedly had not received any information in advance.
The laid-off employees were allowed to take their personal belongings from the offices, but only under supervision of security, and are reportedly receiving a financial severance for 60 days.
What does EA say about this? A spokesperson for the game publisher replied to Kotaku via email as follows:
Testing games is an essential part of providing our players with the best experience. As part of our ongoing global strategy, we are expanding the distribution of our Apex Legends testing team and ending the testing operation that has previously been concentrated in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which affects the services provided by our third-party vendor.
Our global team, which also includes remote testers in the USA, enables us to increase the number of hours per week that we can test and optimize the game, and reflects our commitment to understanding and better serving our growing community worldwide.
The layoffs seem to be due to a broader distribution of playtests to a global team, allowing EA to create increased testing capacity. Additionally, this is meant to better tailor game content for players outside the USA.
The easiest tasks in the trading post can be completed quickly. We reveal how you can finish the missions in World of Warcraft particularly fast.
Even in March, the trading post of World of Warcraft has cool rewards again, and you obviously want to grab them as quickly as possible. However, to do this, you need to collect the monthly 1,000 trader’s currencies. These are available when you complete various tasks for your “travel diary”.
As before, there are so many tasks in March that you only need to complete a fraction of them to get the coveted 1,000 points. Therefore, we show you which tasks have proven to be particularly efficient and require only a little gameplay time to receive the maximum rewards.
In total, we have listed a few more tasks than you actually need for the 1,000 points – this way, you can still make your own selection and skip one or another mission. However, all the tasks we have chosen are easy and quick to complete.
The best tasks for the trading post in March 2023
Task: Complete the optional storylines on the levels of Ohn’ahra. Reward: 150 travel points
Most of you will have already completed this task on the side. You just need to complete all side quests in the area of Ohn’ahra, which also grants you a good reputation. This task will also be counted retroactively!
Task: Defeat Kael’thas Sunstrider on the Terrace of the Magisters. Reward: 150 travel points
The mission is self-explanatory; you just need to defeat the final boss Kael’thas Sunstrider in the Terrace of the Magisters. This is a dungeon on the island of Quel’danas, which you can reach from Shattrath. At level 60, you can run through the dungeon solo, as the enemies are many levels below you and almost die just by seeing you.
Task: Complete a PvP world quest on the Dragon Isles Reward: 100 travel points
Activate war mode in Valdrakken and then look for PvP world quests on the world map. Usually, you can complete these quests without really engaging in PvP – as there is almost always a “PvE objective” as well. These are easy-earned points.
You have probably already completed a few tasks automatically.
30 quests sounds like a lot, but it’s relatively quick to complete. Especially weekly profession quests accumulate quickly – especially if you play multiple characters.
Task: Complete 15 world quests Reward: 150 travel points
You can combine this with the previous task, as world quests also count towards the 30-quest goal.
Task: Gain 4,000 reputation on the Dragon Isles Reward: 150 travel points
You will also complete this task on the side while achieving the goal for world quests or normal quests. Just the combination of these three tasks will give you almost half of the necessary points!
10 crafting orders may sound like a lot – but you just need to assign orders to yourself. This can be done with twinks or guild mates, who will hand you particularly simple orders. This can be done in a few seconds.
Task: Defeat a world boss of the Dragon Isles Reward: 100 travel points
You want to defeat a world boss at level 70 anyway – if only for the world quest reward. Just find a group in the group finder; it’s done quickly.
Task: Use the Over-Justified Corgi Glasses Reward: 50 travel points
These glasses are a toy and are available every year during the World of Warcraft birthday event. Simply use them if you have them and secure the easy points.
Task: Earn 7,500 honor Reward: 200 travel points
If you enjoy playing PvP, you will complete this task easily on the side; others may need to overcome themselves. However, earning 7,500 honor is quick. Remember to consider the weekly PvP quests that grant additional honor.
Since the Early Access release, Sons of the Forest has attracted hundreds of thousands of players. However, the game still has several issues, bugs, and feels somewhat unfinished. Now the second hotfix is here, addressing some things that apparently were overlooked.
During the release weekend, 411,804 players played simultaneously (via steamcharts). Meanwhile, the number has dropped significantly, partly because there is a lack of content.
A problem with the game is that it was released in Early Access instead of as a full release as planned. How much longer it will be further developed until Sons of the Forest is “finished” is still uncertain.
However, it’s not just potential content that is missing. Some features were overlooked and are now being added, one week later, with the already second patch.
What are these changes? The post with the patch notes on Steam includes only 5 points:
there is a hotkey system, items in the inventory can be assigned to hotkeys by pressing the keys 0-9
relevant tips are now in loading screens
the reminder that a scene can be skipped now appears when a corresponding key is pressed
a tip for heavy attacks can now be seen in loading screens
the function “Back” (default on Escape) now closes the tutorial book, the building notebook, and the backpack
While the changes sound minimal, they are exceptionally well received by the community.
Are you just starting with Sons of the Forest? Here are 5 tips for a good start:

Update brings cheers: “Good job, devs”
On reddit, the currently biggest threads in the subreddits of The Forest and Sons of the Forest are the messages about the hotfix. All changes have been well received, especially the ability to close certain menus with Escape.
“Sons of the Forest has become 50% better” says one user, who receives much approval. Others explain that they often died because they couldn’t put away their backpack in panic.
While the changes are small, they still bring joy and thanks to the developers.
Endnight Games has already promised that Sons of the Forest will be continually developed over the coming months. How many new contents are still to come is still unknown. But I am already sure: Sons of the Forest is important for the genre:
In Pokémon GO begins a new season called “Rising Heroes.” In a brief overview, we show you the most important content of the season.
In this article, we introduce you to the key features of the new season. Detailed information on the individual features can be found in the articles that we have linked at the relevant points.
Start of “Rising Heroes”: The new season starts on March 1, 2023, at 10:00 AM local time.
End of “Rising Heroes”: The season ends on June 1, 2023, at 10:00 AM local time.
The most important content of Season 10 in Pokémon GO
A new limited research starts in Pokémon GO, but you need to buy a ticket. The overview of the “Willow’s Outfit” research we show you here. Highlights include new clothing for your avatars and a Melmetal encounter.
All Pokémon can now also be encountered in sizes XXS and XXL. This feature was already active before the season.
In the teaser for the season, three special trainers were hinted at, each with one Pokémon per team. It is possible that this is related to the event “An Everyday Hero & Team GO Rocket takeover.” This will take place from March 21. Whether it is about the 3 trainers is still speculation.
Additionally, a tree-felling Pokémon was hinted at. It is currently not appearing yet in the season, but it could come.
A serious bug in World of Warcraft has left many characters naked – and mounts have also been “stolen” from them.
Update 11:40 AM: The bug seems to be fixed. Transmogs are available again for many players, and mounts can also be selected correctly again.
Original report:The trading post of World of Warcraft is a popular feature – at least until a few hours ago. Because a bug now means that players have lost their beloved rewards. They have apparently simply been removed from the game and are no longer usable.
What kind of bug is this? An obvious bug has led to all rewards from the trading post in February disappearing. And not just “disappeared” in the sense of “no longer available” – but actually removed from the game data or re-encrypted. Those who previously had a pink cape or the pirate set as a transmog suddenly find themselves naked and can run through the air.
Strange encounters in the morning in Stormwind. Flying naked people!
WoW: Trading post rewards are gone, causing bugs
Even more absurd is the case with the mount “Ash’adar, Herald of the Dawn.” The mount still appears as an entry in the characters’ collections but has no model anymore. So you can “mount” the flying mount – but no mount appears.
Ash’adar has disappeared – and now people are running naked at turbo speed.
The result: You can run 100% faster without a mount or run “through the air” at 310%. It looks highly ridiculous, but it’s also quite funny:
Naked people running through the air – that can happen quite often right now.
If you have a lot of absurd encounters with nudists and apparent “exploiters with speed hacks” in WoW today – save yourself a ticket. It’s just a bug.
Are the rewards gone forever? That is unlikely. Typically, unlocks are stored in the account data. It should just take a small bug fix from Blizzard to decrypt the items again. After that, you should be able to get your beloved transmog and mount back.
As soon as there is a statement from Blizzard or the bug has been fixed, we will update this article.

Guild Wars 2 released the new expansion End of Dragons in February 2022. After that, the focus was on reviving old content. But that has now come to an end. With “In Deepest Depths”, the MMORPG receives a new area, new story content, and numerous new rewards.
New story revolving around a dark threat discovered during mining in the jade quarry
The new meta event “The Jade Crisis”
Numerous achievements that you can complete
A new Luxon weapon set that you can earn completely
Additional rewards, including a holographic cloak and a Grinning Tahkayun mask
However, the update skips instanced content like a fractal or a strike mission, which is a shame. After the last announcement, it sounded like instances would be a bigger factor again and would appear more often.
When will the patch be released? It has already been released. You can watch the trailer here:
Start video
Guild Wars 2: In the Deepest Depths – Trailer
Mysterious Diseases and References to Guild Wars 1
What can I expect in the update? The new story sends you to the area Gyala Sink, which is roughly located where the Gyala Hatchery with siege turtles was in the predecessor. A major difference, however, is that jade mining in quarries has become a lucrative business.
However, a mysterious disease is spreading in these quarries. Apparently, a mysterious threat was unleashed during the work. Some workers have completely disappeared.
The setting of the area is exciting. While everything initially looks quite harmless, you will later explore dark depths. Along the way, you will also encounter special creatures from the predecessor Guild Wars 1. You will unlock the map piece by piece during a meta event, similar to the Dragon’s Stand in Heart of Thorns. However, you will need some teammates for that as well.
The story will occupy you for about 90 minutes, as usual, and is now listed directly under “End of Dragons” in the story journal. After that, you can still spend several hours completing achievements, participating in the grand meta event, and farming the new rewards.
Rewards include, among others, a holographic cloak that billows in motion, a throne that can be summoned anywhere as a chair, and a new weapon set, of which we have included examples such as axe, greatsword, and bow:
First New Content Since February 2022
What happened in the last 12 months? Guild Wars 2 regularly released new updates. The main focus was, however, on the return of Living World Season 1. The contents and story instances at that time were designed to completely disappear from the game after a few weeks because something completely different happened in the same location. The game world was indeed alive.
However, this created a huge gap in the story, which was particularly problematic for newcomers and returnees. In 2022, this gap was closed by several updates. The old content was also supplemented with new achievements and rewards. A highlight is, for example, the return to the old Lion’s Arch.
In addition, regular events such as Halloween, Christmas, or the Festival of the Four Winds were held again. In August, the release on Steam finally took place, bringing new achievements for newcomers as well.
These updates were all important but did not bring any real new content for veterans. They had to wait until today, February 28.
What do you think about the new update? Are you satisfied or rather disappointed by the scope?

In Pokémon GO you can buy a ticket for $5 that grants you an outfit styled after Professor Willow. You will also receive an encounter with Melmetal, which knows the move Double Iron Bash. Is it worth it?
What kind of research is this? Starting March 1 at 10:00 AM local time, a new ticket will be available for purchase in the shop. It costs $4.99 and unlocks a Timed Research. The ticket will be available in the shop until June 1 at 10:00 AM. It will thus be available during the new season “Rising Heroes”.
The special thing about this research is that it has only one chapter with 6 tasks, and these can be completed quickly. As a reward, you can customize your avatar’s appearance with new clothing and receive a Melmetal that knows the new move Double Iron Bash. We will show you the research here and what the trainers advise about it.
Willow’s Wardrobe 1/1
Task
Reward
Catch 10 Pokémon
Professor Willow’s Glasses
Catch 20 Pokémon
Professor Willow’s Gloves
Catch 30 Pokémon
Professor Willow’s Pants
Catch 40 Pokémon
Professor Willow’s Jacket
Catch 50 Pokémon
Professor Willow’s Boots
Send 30 Pokémon
25 Meltan Candies
Reward: If you successfully complete all 6 tasks and collect the respective rewards, you will receive an additional 809 experience points, 809 Stardust, and an encounter with Melmetal that knows the Charged Move Double Iron Bash.
Before you buy: Is it worth it?
This is what the trainers say: The ticket is actively discussed in the community (via reddit). Essentially, the advice is: Wait before buying. In the future, Melmetal will be able to learn the special move Double Iron Bash outside of this research with a TM.
When this point will be reached in the future is unclear. However, there are already event leaks for the coming weeks. One of them mentions that the event starting on March 21 will bring Melmetal with the Double Iron Bash move. Keep in mind that this leak is not confirmed. However, you can still wait to purchase the ticket. If there’s no Melmetal at the event, interested players can still buy the ticket.
So make your purchasing decision more dependent on whether you are interested in clothing styled after Professor Willow.
There is fresh loot at the Trading Post of World of Warcraft! We have all the loot that you can get this month.
With March, a new month has begun and that also means a pleasant change for World of Warcraft. The Trading Post has been filled with new rewards that you can collect starting now. This article shows you all the loot you can pick up in March.
What is the Trading Post? The Trading Post is a new feature from Patch 10.0.5. Every month, players with an active subscription can earn 1,000 “Trader’s Tokens” and purchase unique cosmetic rewards with them. We have all the details about the Trading Post in this article.
Set: Bells of the Darkmoon Harlequin Category: Transmog Set Cost: Not for sale. Will be unlocked when the maximum number of Trader’s Tokens for the month of March has been earned.
As usual, it will not be possible to buy all rewards in a month – so you should save your 1,000 Trader’s Tokens carefully and see how you can best use them. But also keep in mind that you always have the opportunity to “freeze” an item, so you can buy it in the coming month… if other items don’t demand your attention again.

The American Kyle “Danny” Sakamaki had a fantastic debut season in League of Legends in 2021/2022. The ADC was considered one of the greatest talents that US LoL has ever produced. The now 19-year-old even became a champion with Evil Geniuses. But then, before important finals, he disappeared from the spotlight. Now it’s clear: He is not coming back.
This was what made Danny special:
The USA has major issues developing strong LoL players. For years, Korean veterans like Impact or European import players, especially Scandinavians like Bjergsen, Jensen, or Zven, have dominated the league.
However, the team “Evil Geniuses” took a new approach in 2021: They gave young North American talents a chance, not parking them indefinitely in the Academy teams, but placing 2 young North Americans in the pro team: Botlaner Danny (19, USA) and jojopyun (18, Canada).
To shape these 2 young talents, Evil Geniuses formed a team that even became champions of the LCS in April 2022.
So successful was Danny: The then 18-year-old Botlaner had a dream start to his professional career.
In the final of the Spring Split 2022, Danny outperformed everyone, even superstar Bjergsen:
Danny secured 111 kills in the playoffs – no one had ever achieved more kills in the final round of an LCS season. The old record had stood for 9 years until then.
Throughout the season, he secured the most penta-kills: He achieved four pentakills in the current season.

What was the turning point? Even in the regular season of the next year, Danny played strong LoL. But in the playoffs, he began to struggle.
The opposing teams identified Danny as a key player for Evil Geniuses, focusing their efforts on taking him out of the game.
Although Evil Geniuses could utilize this focus on Danny and let other players win the game, Danny’s performance deteriorated.
Surprisingly, Danny announced in September 2022 that he would be taking a break from professional gaming and would not participate in the final matches. Immediately, Evil Geniuses was eliminated 2-3 against 100 Thieves.

Fans speculate: Danny might have fallen out with the team
What happened next? Danny also did not play in the Worlds 2022 after the season. But many fans expected to see him back with Evil Geniuses at the beginning of the new season 2022/2023. However, that simply did not happen.
Instead of Danny, Evil Geniuses suddenly played with FBI, a 24-year-old Botlaner they had brought in in November 2022.
Fans speculated: There might have been a rift between Danny and his team. And Evil Geniuses might be stopping him from switching to another team, which is why Danny is sitting out his contract now. But that’s not the case.
Danny says: The pressure was too high, led him to “Breaking Point” – will now be a full-time Twitch streamer
This is what Danny says now: Months after his sudden disappearance, Danny, now 19, speaks up on Twitter with a short message.
He says: No one should blame Evil Geniuses, it was solely his decision. The pressure of being an esports pro overwhelmed him and led him to the “breaking point.” His team always supported him.
Danny says he loves LoL and wants to provide the community with unique insights, which is why he will now become a full-time Twitch streamer in the content team of Evil Geniuses.

This is what is special: It is already common for LoL pros to choose to become full-time Twitch streamers after a long esports career. In Germany, former pros like Tolkin or NoWay4u have taken this path and are successful. In the USA, there are many examples of former pros among streamers.
Typically, players do this in their late 20s, after a several-year career and when they realize they can no longer keep up with young players. That Danny is ending his career before it has really begun is rare.
It reminds one of the case of the footballer, Sebastian Deisler, who was considered one of Germany’s greatest talents but ended his career at just 27 years old.

In World of Warcraft, significant changes are coming once again. Three classes are receiving strong buffs that are impressive.
Even though the first season of World of Warcraft Dragonflight has been running for almost 3 months, Blizzard is still not completely satisfied with the balance. Therefore, there are continual buffs and nerfs for some classes and specializations to make them more competitive in certain situations. Once again, changes are scheduled for this Wednesday (01.03.2023). This time, three classes will receive buffs that they can all be happy about.
Which classes are affected? Death Knights of the Blood specialization are receiving Blizzard’s “all-around carefree” package, as their damage is simply increased slightly in all areas. Paladins can also look forward to a bit more healing and damage. However, the real winners are Shamans, who are getting quite drastic buffs in PvE. In one case, there is even a 80% increase in damage, while other abilities are only increased by 6%.
Shamans are getting significant buffs!
All buffs from March 1, 2023 in World of Warcraft
Death Knight
Blood
The damage of all abilities is increased by 3%.
Paladin
Holy
The healing of Light of Dawn is increased by 10%.
Protection
The damage bonus of Greater Judgment on the affected target is increased to 40% (previously 20%).
Hammer of Wrath deals 30% more damage.
Hammer of the Righteous deals 20% more damage.
Shaman
Elemental
The damage of Lightning Bolt is increased by 10%. Does not apply in PvP.
The damage of Lava Burst is increased by 6%. Does not apply in PvP.
Earth Shock deals 6% more damage. Does not apply in PvP.
Elemental Blast deals 6% more damage. Does not apply in PvP.
Ice Fury deals 80% more damage.
Ice Fury now grants Frost Shock an additional 14 Maelstrom (previously 8 Maelstrom).
When do the changes go live? The improvements will go live on March 01, with maintenance occurring in the early morning hours. So from today, you can benefit from the buffs and show the whole world how powerful Elemental Shamans and Tank Paladins are now – if you haven’t done so already.
Are you excited about the changes? Or does it “once again only affect classes you don’t play anyway”?

Finally, the long-awaited launch of the new DLC “Lightfall” has arrived in Destiny 2. While the servers were offline for 24 hours, the excitement among the Guardians has grown larger. We give you an initial overview of the activities in this first Neomuna week.
This week: Guardians in Destiny 2 will explore the new Neptune city of Neomuna for the first time this week. And there is a lot to discover, as the city is huge.
There will be a new campaign for the coolest story in the universe.
Lightfall brings a new ability called “Strand” into play. With it, players can swing through the air and explore not only Neomuna but all locations of the shooter freely.
Brand new enemies will challenge players and try to take the light away from them.
Additionally, Destiny 2 is a game that never stands still, as Bungie reliably supplies the shooter with fresh story content, new loot, and cool missions every three months.
Season 20 starts today: Along with the new DLC, the content from Season 20 will also come. The Witness and Calus have expanded their influence over the planet Neptune and begun the invasion of Earth. It is time to draw a line, and Mara Sov will help you with that.
This new trailer for the “Season of Resistance” gives you a first taste of Season 20:
Start video
Destiny 2: Lightfall – “Season of Resistance” trailer
Grandiose endtime story impresses players: In Lightfall, exactly what has been announced since the days of Destiny 1 is happening. The Traveler must face its enemy. Light against Darkness. And this is not only exciting for Destiny veterans.
Bungie is currently concluding the largest story in the Destiny universe in its loot shooter. Players can expect a grand showdown in space with everything the studio has to offer in terms of storytelling and visuals. So, if you’ve always wanted to be part of the downfall of the universe – Lightfall is the best opportunity for that.
The most important information about activities from 28.02. to 07.03.
We will list all known weekly information for you here. However, please note that many aspects of the new DLC are still in the dark. MeinMMO will therefore gradually update the article for you with the relevant details so you can keep it current.

Vanguard: Nightfall – The Trial by Fire
Trial Grounds, in the massive land tank of the Cabal on Nessus
Guardians have proven themselves on Cabal battlefields and have beaten their way through the ranks of the Cabal to finally face the champion of the Emperor in the “final trial”. But he throws seeking solar balls and uses his Cabal bubble for protection.
This week’s Nightfall weapon is: The Legendary Scout Rifle “Disagreement SR4”
Playlist Strikes have the following modifiers this week:
Stasis Wave
Heavyweight
Void Threat
Power level disabled
Even in the new Season 20, Zavala will be involved in a battle at the Tower
This changes in Lightfall with the Nightfalls: The Vanguard challenges will be adjusted to incorporate these changes in Lightfall. In addition, Bungie will integrate scoring into the Vanguard Ops playlist.
The higher your score, the larger the multiplier for your Vanguard rank.
To complete the weekly Vanguard challenge, you now need to do the following:
Complete Vanguard activities with the Strand focus.
These can either be the seasonal Strands for Nightfalls or the weekly Strands for Vanguard Ops.
Complete five activities.
At higher difficulty levels, there will be more progress.
A single pinnacle Nightfall also completes this challenge. However, it will not be available in the game again until April 11, 2023.
Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation
The weekly legacy raid is “Last Wish” in the Dreaming City
In addition, there is extra pinnacle loot in the dungeon “Prophecy”.
Bungie will expand these content rotations further starting in Season 22. Players will then be able to play raids and dungeons as “legacy”, as well as old exotic missions.
Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity:
Equip your new Currulli weapons and attack opposing Guardians in “Rift”
Weekly Activities
Here come the most important activities of this week. Guardians will be able to explore the new Lightfall campaign starting now. In Year 6, the Witness, instead of Savathun, is now in charge as the main antagonist in Destiny 2.
Neomuna – Weekly Campaign Mission
“First Contact”
In the first mission, you make first contact and get to know Strand for the very first time while wandering through Neomuna with your Guardian. Strand is the new subclass from Lightfall, and there’s still something you need to do…
If you need triumphs from the Dreaming City, pay attention. The third tier of corruption reveals new avenues with a sip of “Queen’s Leaf Tincture”.
Petra Venj can now be found in the Dreaming City right at Rheasilvia – as always during the 3rd curse week. At the same time, the 1st Ascendant Challenge is active.
All Sources for Pinnacle Loot in Season 19 of Destiny 2
To let you know where you can effectively grab your pinnacle loot, we give you a quick overview of activities every week.
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 gear is 1,810. Thus, the power level at the start of the new Season 20 has increased 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.
The powerful cap at 1800.
With pinnacle loot, you can bring yourself to the hard cap of 1810.
We will list the currently known activities that offer you pinnacle loot and thus power level, so you can level up quickly.
This pinnacle loot raises your power level to 1,810:
