To ensure you’re well-prepared, we created this overview so you know which weapons you should definitely unlock or obtain before the new expansion releases. The selected weapons include:
We will now show you where to obtain the weapons and what makes them so good.

Happy Ending in Call of Duty Warzone 2! When a player encounters a cheater in the final circle of the battle royale, the odds are against him. Every bullet from the opponent hits, and the player goes down. The situation seems hopeless, but then the anti-cheat kicks in.
A new map is coming to Warzone 2. Ashika Island brings back the popular Resurgence mode:

CoD Warzone 2: Ashika Island – Teaser
Cheater threatens to win Warzone, but then the anti-cheat kicks in
The Twitch streamer DyceTV successfully played a round of Warzone. He made it to the final circle, and only one opponent was left. Cautiously, the streamer surveyed the area: there was little cover around him. His opponent had the better position.
At the moment DyceTV peeked over a hill, the first bullets flew in his direction. Every shot was a hit. The streamer pulled back and put on armor plates.
When he came out of cover again, he was immediately fired upon. Then the streamer became suspicious, as something seemed off. In disbelief, he said to his viewers:
This guy just doesn’t miss! … You just don’t miss … Guys, this guy is cheating!
Yo! Why are you cheating? Why are you cheating?
DyceTV
With new armor plates in the vest, the streamer shot back. While he managed to get a few good hits, it wasn’t enough. He went down and tried to revive himself. At that moment, the cheater rushed at him to finish the job. But before the cheater could take the final shot, he disappeared from the game.
Apparently, Ricochet, the anti-cheat from Warzone, detected the cheating and immediately removed the cheater from the match. A last-second rescue and a happy ending for the streamer, who could hardly believe his luck.
Have you had experiences with cheaters in Call of Duty MW2 or Warzone 2? How do you deal with cheaters? What do you think of the anti-cheat? Leave us a comment and share your opinion with the community!
League of Legends releases an update to the live servers every two weeks. In the last attempt to update the game, however, they managed to delete the entire last patch.
In patch 13.1B, the developers had already addressed the reign of the terrible little kitty and reduced her stats. As a result, she was no longer effectively usable by professional players.
But everything took a different turn than expected. Because with the start of the implementation of patch 13.3, all changes from the previous patch were revoked. At that moment, chaos broke out on the live servers, and the leaderboards were locked server-wide for several hours.
If you are interested in the characters from Arcane, we have summarized them for you here:

LoL: We introduce the champions from Arcane in gameplay
What do the developers say about it? When the patch was deleted, all champion changes and item adjustments for the time until the fix were also lost. These still had the stats from the beginning of Season 13.
When the problem became known, Riot Games quickly made a statement. They said that they were aware of the issue, and that patch 13.1B had indeed been deleted. As long as they were working on a solution for the problem, no ranked games were possible.

Riot Ray Yonggi spoke on Discord, and according to him, it was due to the “hacky micropatch” 13.1B that was overwritten when a new patch was supposed to be introduced.
The community is divided: There are players who are not unfamiliar with the problems on Riot Games’ servers. They have commented on Twitter and questioned the budgeting of League of Legends. User OthavioDiass asked whether they could spare merely 10 dollars for the game.
Other users were happy about the short comeback of the kitty:

But no matter how you look at it: Riot Games completely messed up the game with this patch. The ensuing chaos lasted several hours, and many players had to wait for access to ranked games.
After the game was fixed again, patch 13.3 could be placed on the live servers. Here, players can try out the planned changes.
What do you think about the whole story? Was Riot’s backward approach a refreshing change, or did you wait hours for access to ranked games? Let us know in the comments.
The MMORPG Tibia is one of the oldest MMORPGs and also originates from Germany. Now a player has reached level 2000. In total, only 16 players have reached this level along with him.
In Tibia, there is now another person who has reached level 2,000. Our colleagues from MMORPG.org.pl are pretty sure that it must be a Polish compatriot, as the name of the character and the guild affiliation suggest.
Thus, “Blizu” is the 16th player to reach level 2,000. In Europe, he is even only the 4th person, as all the others likely come from South American countries. The 17th person is currently at level 1903 and will need a little longer to break the magical mark as well.
The German Tibia offers eternal progress and no limits
What is special about level 2,000? In the MMORPG Tibia, there is no level cap, like in WoW. Theoretically, you can level up for as long as you want, without the game having an end. However, the further you progress, the more experience points you need for the next level. To reach level 1,500, a player needed about 13 years.
Moreover, dying in the game is expensive, as you lose valuable experience points and also level tiers. A player exploited this and let himself die 300 times to achieve a success. He put weeks of grinding at risk with it.

5 old MMORPGs that are still actively played
Tibia is still actively played today: Tibia has been around since 1997 and is still played by a loyal community today. The game relies on 2D graphics, and although it may not be one of the prettiest games today, thousands of players log in daily. Therefore, the developers are still diligently providing updates for the German MMORPG. Just recently, players discovered a secret boss after 12 years that no one had ever found. And it is precisely because of such small details that Tibia continues to enjoy many fans.
Especially in South America, particularly in Brazil, everyone knows the game Tibia. That’s also why you find among the 16 players almost exclusively individuals from South America.
Tibia in interview: The developers from Regensburg told MeinMMO in an interview what makes them so successful and that the beginning was not easy:
At our “FYNG: Love Edition” event, everything revolves around love, friendship, and gaming. Therefore, we talked to a guild leader from WoW about her family guild that also meets in real life.
Interpersonal affection can take many forms. In gaming, it manifests through couples who meet online or through deep friendships that last for years.
MMORPG guilds are the perfect places for such friendships to form. Many of us can surely attest to having met good friends in games. This is also the case with a guild leader from WoW.
In an interview, she told us how she came to lead a guild with 71 members and about the real-life meetings that her guild organizes annually.
The path to having your own guild: “You were always labeled as the newcomer”
MeinMMO: Hi, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers? Who are you and what do you do?
Michelle: Hey! My name is Michelle – short Mimi – 25 years old and self-employed in the field of financial consulting outside of the online world. In-game, you can find me under the name Peristax or alternatively with the battle tag Perista#2418.
MeinMMO: Tell us more about your relationship with WoW: When did you start playing the game?
Michelle: I started playing at the end of the addon “Warlords of Draenor” in 2016. Since my mother also played WoW, I wanted to check it out and joined the same guild as her. WoW quickly captivated me, especially since my best friend had started playing again after a long break.
The guild in which I started playing showed me that the WoW community also had family-oriented players with whom one could quickly form friendships. Even today, I am still very good friends with many of them, even though the guild unfortunately disbanded. The friendships are one of the most significant reasons why I am still playing WoW today.
MeinMMO: How did you become a guild leader?
Michelle: The guild where I started unfortunately disbanded about 1.5 years later. We then tried to rebuild the guild. However, the conditions on the server were not very good at that time. There were simply too few new players on the server.
As a result, a few of us started playing on other servers together. That’s where I met my current life partner. We continued to play in other guilds, but kept noticing that you were always labeled as “the newcomer” and no one was really integrated into existing groups.
So, you continued to run with random people and got extremely upset when things didn’t go as planned. Eventually, I got fed up and decided to start a guild again where there’s no direct formation of cliques, where people know each other and just can have fun playing together, even if “new” players come. So, we founded the Shadow Warriors on Eredar back then – under which you can still find us today.
“What can’t be resolved online will be settled at the guild meeting over a beer”
MeinMMO: What do you enjoy most in your role?
Michelle: The most fun comes from progressing together with my comrades. The guys and girls really help me unwind from my relatively stressful everyday life. You learn so much from the people, form friendships, and always meet new people.
Of course, not everything is perfect, especially when so many gamers are in one place, there is occasionally potential for conflict. But I believe that’s exactly what defines us – we are a chaotic bunch that can stick together in the right situations. That’s what I always tell the applicants during the interview.
MeinMMO: How much work do you have as a WoW guild leader?
Michelle: Most people probably think it’s a lot of work. But it’s actually not that bad. I have good “officers” by my side who take some tasks off my plate and support me.
They serve as another point of contact for problems and questions alongside me for our fellow players. Otherwise, I am available for our guild members in the evenings on Discord and organize our raids, event nights like twink raids or M+-evenings, and I also take care of recruiting new members.
Events like guild raids or dungeon runs are of course part of it.
MeinMMO: What skills do you think a good guild leader should have?
Michelle: Definitely good people skills – it helps me immensely to assess whether a candidate fits my group or if I’m just bringing unrest into it. Of course, that’s never a 100% guarantee, but it can help avoid a lot of discussions and problems in advance.
Otherwise, a certain level of organizational ability is necessary for events in-game or offline – like our guild meetings. As long as that’s desired by the guild, of course. Additionally, one should be able to deal with conflicts and problems and resolve them.

We were in the middle of the chaos that represents the release of WoW Dragonflight: „I can’t accept anything here“
MeinMMO: Guild drama is a problem that probably every MMORPG player has faced at some point. How do you handle problems in your guild?
Michelle: In our early days, there were often problems – partly because we accepted every new player who wanted to join us. At that time, we had a different drama every few days. However, we quickly learned from that and also kicked out players who didn’t know how to behave. Insults and personal attacks are absolutely unacceptable and have no place with us.
Since we started conducting personal interviews with every new applicant on Discord and introduced trial periods, we have been able to almost completely eliminate these dramas. Sometimes there are still smaller discussions. We address those promptly and talk to those affected to find a solution.
The fact that almost all guild members have met privately and in real life makes things easier here. Therefore, our philosophy is “What can’t be resolved online will be settled at the guild meeting over a beer”
Guild meetings in real life: “We have members scattered across Germany and Switzerland”
MeinMMO: You mentioned your guild meetings earlier. What exactly can our readers expect from them?
Michelle: We do a big guild meeting once a year in the middle of Germany. For this, over the last few years, I’ve been searching for group houses, mostly with the girls from our team, and we’ve written dozens of emails with booking inquiries. In the first year, we had some planning difficulties due to Corona – but we found a solution there as well.
We have members scattered across Germany and Switzerland. From Kiel to Zurich, through Hamburg, Trier, Dresden to the depths of Bavaria, our members are spread out. To make it fair for everyone, we look for a place that is relatively central and thus easily accessible for all members.
During the large guild meetings, many people from all over Germany and also from outside gather.
Of course, anyone who belongs to our guild and looks forward to meeting us can participate. This year we will spend 4 days (Thursday to Sunday) near Frankfurt and are excited to grill and drink a beer or a wine and have fun with everyone.
MeinMMO: Tell us about your favorite experiences from such a real-life meeting. What stands out most in your memory?
Michelle: The first guild meeting in the guild’s founding year was incredibly funny. Gamers know the situation – you only know the voices and names through Discord, and then you see everyone together in real life. The voices and faces never match the first time, leading to very funny constellations.
The first evening has always been an absolute blast; we laugh, drink, dance, and scream together until we eventually fall asleep from exhaustion late at night. Some miss half of the next day in the morning until they’ve slept off their hangover. The funniest photos are taken when the group of guys crawls into Woodie’s bed in the morning for cuddles.
There’s always something happening during guild events.
MeinMMO: In your opinion, what are the most important things to keep a guild together over many years?
Michelle: The personal relationships among the members are crucial; they need to enjoy playing together. This also strengthens the sense of belonging. Apart from the guild meeting, guild members often come to visit us at home and spend a weekend in our guest room.
Joint activities also keep people together. Even if we feel like there’s no more content in WoW, we can meet up on Friday evenings on Discord, with the camera on and a good drink. There’s been more than one instance where someone has fallen off their chair in front of the camera. That can happen even in the best families.
Finally, the guild always thrives on one thing – its members. We regularly expand our guild with new people who want to join our crazy house. With our mixed age range and diverse personalities, we distinguish ourselves as a guild.
We want to maintain the old spirit and feeling of WoW in our guild by having a community that plays with each other and not against each other. This is exactly what makes an MMORPG.
MeinMMO: Do you have any final words for our readers?
Michelle: First of all, thank you to everyone who has read this far. If someone now says, “Hey, awesome! I’ve been looking for something like this forever” and wants to check it out, feel free to contact me on Battle.net or in-game.
But be warned, the Bazingas fly low in the Thunder Dome – you have to be at least as crazy as we are and be able to throw back some bad jokes. Because our guys can be quite good at that sometimes. It’s basically a rite of passage.
We sincerely thank Michelle for the interview and wish her and her guild much fun, both in WoW and in real life.

A gamer wanted to start his PC, but it just wouldn’t. Together with the community, he finds the problem and it’s smaller than he thought.
A gamer hadn’t been in the country for three months and had therefore unplugged his computer. Now he wanted to start his PC again after a long time, but nothing happened. The motherboard showed a memory error, but even after removing one stick, the problem persisted. Eventually, he turned to the community (via reddit.com).
Here, he was told that it could also be due to a small battery, the so-called ‘CMOS battery’ on the motherboard. After the user replaced it and left the memory out, the computer started again.
What kind of battery is this? The CMOS battery (in English: Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) is usually a button cell mounted on the motherboard of your computer and is often quite inconspicuous. This small part ensures that hardware settings, date, and time are saved even when the power is turned off.
If the CMOS battery is empty, your computer can no longer store the data, and you get an error message, and the date is incorrect. In the worst case, a dead battery can also cause your computer not to boot the operating system anymore.
Besides a dead battery, there are plenty of other sources for a computer that won’t start.
In general, you should first remain calm and not rush things. Because with every panicked reaction, you only make the problems bigger in the end. If you do several things at once, you won’t be able to check later where the real fault was.
Check the CMOS battery: Normally, the button cell lasts 2 to 3 years and needs to be replaced afterwards. With a screwdriver, it’s pretty easy, and the costs are in the single-digit euro range.
Check the power supply: Check whether all cables are properly plugged into the computer or if you have turned off the power supply at the back at the power socket.
Check cables in the computer: In the next step, check whether all your cables in the computer are properly seated. This includes the cable for the processor and the large connector on the motherboard. Additionally, you should check whether the small cables from the case are seated correctly. If, for example, the small cables from the case are not properly plugged in, then the power button for the PC will not work.
Remove memory: Damaged, broken, or improperly seated memory can also prevent a PC from starting. First, remove one RAM stick and test whether the computer starts now. Then do the same with the second stick.
In the next step, you can test other slots on the motherboard. Gaming systems usually offer 4 slots for memory. Also, check the manual for your motherboard to see if the memory sticks are in the correct places.
Test the graphics card: Normally, your computer will also start even if the graphics card is damaged or broken. Without a graphics card, you won’t get an image at first, but the computer should start without any issues. However, a broken graphics card can also short-circuit the motherboard and prevent a start.
In Pokémon GO the Limited Research with Luvdisc runs today, Saturday. We show you what content you can expect and why it can be worthwhile to play in the city.
What kind of event is this? Currently, the Valentine’s Day Event 2023 is running in Pokémon GO. This brings special Pokémon like Mega Gardevoir and shiny Swablu. Additionally, bonuses are active that grant you more stardust when opening gifts and increase the duration of lure modules.
A special day of this event is February 11, when you can dedicate three hours to Luvdisc.
Limited Research with Luvdisc
When does it start and end? The event starts today, February 11, at 2:00 PM. It is active for three hours and ends at 5:00 PM (local time).
What does the event bring? By spinning photo discs at PokéStops, you will receive field research that rewards you with Luvdisc encounters. There is a chance that you will receive a shiny during these encounters.
You will encounter the following Pokémon in the wild, as seen in the graphic:
What you need to consider: During Limited Research events, you benefit from having many stops in your area. In the past, many players in rural areas complained about receiving very few event tasks due to the few stops available. Thus, the encounters with Luvdisc were fewer.
If you plan to receive as many Luvdisc encounters as possible, you should play in places like parks or in the city, where you find many PokéStops.
Luvdisc and Shiny Luvdisc in comparison
No Timed Research: During the last event of this kind, there was confusion in the community. Many trainers waited for their Timed Research and complained that it had not been unlocked for them. The event is called “Limited Research” and does not unlock any Timed Research like Sweet Wishes for the Valentine’s Day event. You will receive the tasks only through field research.
Who is it worth it for? Luvdisc is by no means a strong attacker that you need for your collection. But shiny hunters can try their luck during the event and maybe catch a few yellow specimens of the Pokémon.
Additionally, the altered spawns in the wild might be a reason for you to play during the three hours.
The Future Stars Team 2 in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team is here. We look at the event and the new players.
What is Future Stars? Future Stars is the event in FIFA 23 where current talents are equipped with improved cards that are meant to highlight their potential.
A team of this kind has already appeared in FIFA 23, the Future Stars Team 1. Now the second round of super talents is coming for Ultimate Team.
When does Future Stars Team 2 come out? The second team was released on February 10, 2023, at 7:00 PM in Ultimate Team. It replaces Team 1 in the packs.
Who is in Future Stars Team 2?
Update, 7:00 PM: The Future Stars Team 2 is now available in FIFA 23. Here you can see all the cards at a glance:
Once again, the team features particularly exciting talents that have received a significant upgrade. This includes, for example, Jamal Musiala from FC Bayern, who has received a 92-rated card.
Musiala (CAM, 92)
Kvaratskhelia (LW, 90)
Araujo (CB, 90)
Fernández (CM, 90)
Timber (CB, 89)
Nketiah (ST, 89)
Fábio Carvalho (CAM, 88)
Fagioli (CM, 88)
Meslier (GK, 88)
Willock (CM, 87)
Vinicius Souza (CDM, 87)
Iker Bravo (ST, 86)
Tillmann (ST, 85)
Plata (MF, 86)
We updated this article at 7:00 PM with the current team. Here it continues with the original article.
How do I get the cards? The team will be included in packs, but the chance of getting such strong special cards is low. They can also be found on the transfer market, but the prices are likely to be quite high, especially for popular Future Stars.
Info and leaks about the event
FIFA 23 itself somewhat leaked a new Future Star, as players can currently find such a version of Iker Bravo in their clubs if they already had his bronze card. It has mistakenly been transformed into its Future Stars version.
Leaks about Future Stars Team 2: Players missed several strong talents in the first team of Future Stars. However, some of the anticipated players may be coming in now.
The well-known leaker “Donk” has shared some names on Twitter that are supposed to be in the second team.

These include Bayern’s super talent Jamal Musiala, who could receive a strong card. Also, the offensive player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is making waves in Serie A, could finally get the long-awaited special card.
In addition, names like Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea FC, Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal FC, or Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool FC are on the list.
According to the leaker “Fut Sheriff” (via Twitter), England midfielder Jacob Ramsey is supposed to be available as an Academy player in the objectives.
However, which cards will actually be in the team remains to be seen. The current leaks are just that – leaks. Official information from EA regarding which players are included is likely to be released only with the launch of the team.
Which talents do you think deserve a Future Stars card? Tell us in the comments!
Additionally, the Future Stars Swap is currently still running, through which one can earn rewards. You can find information about it in the Future Stars Token Tracker.

The 24-year-old Mareike “Sayna” Burg made e-sports history on February 9 by playing as the first woman in the First Division of the Prime League, Germany’s highest league in LoL. Previously, there had only been one female coach.
Who is Sayna? The 24-year-old’s real name is Mareike Burg and she is studying computer science in her master’s program. She gained her first competitive experiences in the university team at the University of Göttingen and has been active in e-sports for 4 years. The favorite champion of the bot laner is the battle mage Swain (via Twitter).
In a video, Sayna also revealed her goal of working full-time as a professional e-sports player. She feels particularly connected to her idol Judit Polgár: The Hungarian chess grandmaster was in a similar situation as herself and fought her way in a male-dominated discipline.
Now, Sayna has taken a big step towards her goal: As the first woman, she made her debut in the 1st Division of the Prime League, Germany’s top league, on February 9. We have embedded her self-introduction here:

Why is the debut happening only now? Although the current Spring Split of the Prime League started in January, Sayna had only been involved as a substitute player for her team, the Unicorns of Love, until now. On February 8, the premiere was announced via Twitter:
Sayna was to play as ADC in the match against Eintracht Frankfurt, taking the place of Johannes “Fun K3y” Werner. However, the team emphasized that both Fun K3y and Sayna remain part of the team, training and playing as such (via Twitter).
In the Prime League, Sayna will sooner or later also meet Eintracht Spandau under President Knabe.

Praise also came from YouTuber HandOfBlood alias President Knabe of Eintracht Spandau, as well as the e-sports organization Angry Titans (via Twitter).
Additionally, there were further positive comments, a few of which we have gathered here for you:
HollaDieWaldfee writes: “No fan of League but always proud to see women in e-sports and hope that it will eventually become normal”
Baso cheered: “Mega!! So cool to see more and more women in esports – lots of success to you!!”
A Twitter user named anja was one step ahead of the Unicorns: “Just talked the day before yesterday about how important this slowly would be. Thank you — mega that you are taking this path!”
How did the debut go? The first match ended with a 2:1 victory for Eintracht Frankfurt, but with 5 wins and 2 losses so far, everything is still possible for the Unicorns in the Spring Split. They currently stand in 2nd place overall, behind Eintracht Spandau (via primeleague).
Mixed teams, like the current lineup of the Unicorns of Love, are rather rare in e-sports. Instead, there are leagues in some games where only female teams compete. Such as the European team G2 Gozen, which triumphed at the first women’s major in Valorant.
In Destiny 2 Xur finally returns to the loot shooter today and offers his goods to interested parties. MeinMMO shows you what he has and where you can find him.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? Destiny 2 is getting greener. The new subclass, by far the most important feature of the Lightfall expansion, bathes everything in green shimmer. And Bungie is also quite talkative about it:
Destiny 2: Trailer for Lightfall shows new race – Guardians get cool lasso, swing like Spider-Man
All info about Xur on February 10, 2023 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S
When does Xur come? As a merchant of rare exotic goods in Destiny 2, Xur pays a visit to the universe every Friday at 6 PM. To shop with him, you just need some in-game currency so that the gaps in your collection can disappear.
Where is Xur? This is his camp for the weekend
The position of Xur: Although Xur only actively uses a few location spots on the destinations, no Guardian knows before 6 PM where he will land.
If you want to shop at Xur, fly to Nessus to the Guardian’s grave.
Xur’s inventory from February 10 – 14 – All Exotics at a glance
What does Xur have on offer? Even just before Lightfall, Xur will not tire of running his business. But unlike Spider, who often has crooked deals in mind, Xur supplies you with good goods at reasonable prices. The nice “I am the messenger of the Nine” conversation is free of charge.
This is Xur’s offer this week:
Xur’s offer from February 10-14
Weapon: Suros Regime – Kinetic Auto Rifle for 29 Legendary Shards
Legendary Armor Set: This week, Xur sells the “Anti-Destruction” set. A set that has always had good stats – so feel free to take a closer look at the distributions.
We have been collaborating with Nexxoss on MeinMMO for years, embedding his videos in guides and even during Xur’s weekly visit he shows you everything that is important today:

Xur also sells legendary items and offers unique rolls for Exotics from no longer available exotic missions from past DLCs each week. However, note: You can only purchase the weapons if you also own the appropriate expansion.
Currently, he has these two weapons on offer:
The exotic hand cannon “Fallen Dawn” (Beyond Light DLC) with the perk “Fixer Zug”
The exotic scout rifle “Tale of a Dead Man” (Beyond Light DLC) with the perk “Outlaw”
Trials of Osiris from February 10 – 14 – Map, Weapons and Info
After the Iron Banner Endgame PvP, the Trials are back this weekend – including the Freelance mode. So you can sweat in the PvP endgame again and even get bonus ranks for Trials.
What are the Trials in Destiny 2?
The Trials of Osiris are an endgame PvP activity that takes place every weekend. There is only one exception and that is when the Iron Banner event is active. Just like last week. Bungie will therefore open the inventory of the 14th Saint with fresh Trials passes and loot packages this weekend, so you can increase your glory in the PvP endgame.
Trials of Osiris
Which map is on this week? Unlike in normal PvP, where the maps rotate, in the Guardian versus Guardian endgame there is only one set map played each weekend.
In the rotation are the maps “Radiant Cliffs” and “Javelin-4”.
The PvP map “Javelin-4”The PvP map “Radiant Cliffs”
If you are interested in playing the Trials in a fixed team, MeinMMO recommends the Callout-Maps over Warmind. This way you can describe to your fireteam where the enemies are located on the map, which is useful information for the whole team.
This is how you get your loot: The Trials of Osiris have a reputation ranking system. Your top loot reward from the PvP matches is currently available for:
Seven victories
50 rounds
as well as the notorious flawless run, which leads you to the lighthouse
This is the reward for a flawless run: Every week there is also a special weapon waiting for you at the lighthouse, which you will receive as a master version for your flawless run, meaning 7 victories. You can earn the weapon until the upcoming Tuesday, February 14, at 6:00 PM.
Adept weapon always awaits you when you safely make it to the lighthouse.
This week’s Adept weapon is: The 140 hand cannon “Sublime Truth”
The weapon carousel turns again in the Trials – A new master weapon awaits.
All trial weapons have a Trials origin perk: “Haste” – improves reload, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last surviving member of your fireteam or fighting alone.
Your trial engrams can be focused at the 14th Saint for your desired weapon. Additionally, there are enhancement prisms and ascendant shards. Keep in mind that your reward increases even further once you have a complete pass – even if you have lost one or two matches.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris start today, on February 10, 2023, at 6:00 PM and end with the weekly reset, on February 14, 2023, at 6:00 PM.
Have you already completed Season 19 and are now waiting for Lightfall? Or can the Trials still entice you to visit the loot shooter?

WoW: Dragonflight offers you new ways to customize your gear. With embellishments, you can maximize your class and specialization. MeinMMO explains which embellishments you should use for your specialization.
With embellishments, you can add powerful effects to your crafted equipment. Embellishments can be crafted by artisans or found during adventures on the Dragon Isles. If you practice a crafting profession and want to create embellishments, we have a suitable guide for you.
Additionally, there are items, for example from raids or Mythic +, that already come with an embellishment. However, you should always keep in mind that you can equip a maximum of only 2 items with an embellishment at any time.
An exception is the “Alchemistic Aroma Bag,” which doesn’t count towards this maximum. It ensures that buff effects from food remain even after death. Therefore, it is recommended for all specializations and does not appear on the list.
You should carefully choose which effects you want to equip. But don’t worry, we’ve looked at various class guides, for example from wowhead.com and selected the best effects for you. Below we have listed the best embellishments for your role.
Embellishments and embellished items are also available in Mythic + dungeons. You can find all dungeons from Season 1 here in the ranking:

Bungie, the developers behind Destiny 1 and 2 are waging a fierce battle against many cheat providers and cheaters who dare to cheat in their games. How hard Bungie is going on this matter is shown by the current case of VeteranCheats. This provider is now sued for damages in court.
What does the indictment entail? Bungie has sued the company behind VeteranCheats for a total of 12 million US dollars, equivalent to 11 million euros. The costs consist of copyright infringements, circumvention claims, and attorney fees:
146,662.28 US dollars for copyright infringements,
11,696,000 US dollars for circumvention claims (sold cheats)
217,250.70 US dollars in attorney fees.
The circumvention claim is derived from the sold cheats. The company sold a total of 5,848 of these cheats for Destiny 2, and Bungie demands 2,000 US dollars per hack, which is equivalent to almost 1,900 euros.
A harsh penalty that Bungie demands from the provider, but it will take a while before this can be enforced or take place in court.

Destiny 2: Lightfall – Trailer for new weapons and equipment
The developers had presented evidence in court that could only have been obtained if it had been “stolen” from players.
While the final result of the proceedings is not yet known, one thing is clear: the battle for rights is a difficult undertaking. Only time will tell whether Bungie can hold the providers accountable and thus bring more peace from cheaters to the loot shooter.
Bungie wants to make Destiny 2 safe: Such lawsuits are not only costly but also nerve-wracking. However, Bungie wants to hold these wrongdoers accountable to make Destiny 2 a place where every player has the same chances.
A game infested with cheaters is not only damaging to business but also not fun. While guardians have to fight hard for their skill, these cheaters obtain kills and wins only by digging deeply into their own pockets.
Bungie wants to prevent this and make Destiny 2 a largely cheat-free place. To achieve this, these tough measures are necessary.
What do you think, will Bungie win this fight and be able to hold VeteranCheats and Aim Junkies accountable? Feel free to leave us a comment!
In EA’s new hunting game Wild Hearts, you fight against giant monsters known as Kemono. We from MeinMMO have summarized the currently known monsters in a list for you .
In Azuma, the world of Wild Hearts, there are various types of Kemono. So far, 10 of them are known. Additionally, there is some data on the beasts and the strategy you should best follow in combat.
[toc]
Lava Back / Jigokuzaru
What kind of monster is this? The Lava Back is a Kemono inspired by the silverback gorilla, also known as Jigokuzaru. However, instead of gray fur, the Lava Back, as the name suggests, has a volcanic body. This is cleverly used by the menacing gorilla.
Strategy: When facing the Lava Back, you should be prepared for anything. The gorilla can throw molten rock, attacking from a distance. Additionally, he uses his long arms to perform rapid strikes in close combat.
To succeed against the Lava Back, it is important to observe the environment attentively. You should be able to see where the ground breaks when the gorilla launches an attack. This allows you to anticipate the attacks and dodge in time. Furthermore, an effective strategy is to increase your character’s elemental resistance by using the elemental lantern.
What kind of monster is this? The Flora Grunter, also known as Yama’ugachi, is an oversized wild boar covered in plants, with menacing tusks the size of tree trunks. The Flora Grunter has a multitude of eyes, which it opens all at once when something enters its territory. Outside of combat, the Kemono keeps most of its eyes closed and relies on its sense of smell.
Strategy: The Flora Grunter is a rather slow Kemono with many weaknesses. If you manage to cling to its massive body, you can defeat it with the hunting arm.
To withstand the overwhelming attacks and follow-up assaults of the Flora Grunter, you should use various Karakuri techniques. You can use the bulwark when the wild boar charges at you or deploy the springboard when it causes the ground to shake.
What kind of monster is this? The Amaterasu is a giant orange bird reminiscent of a phoenix, worshiped as a deity since ancient days. However, every region that worships him is doomed to destruction.
Strategy: The Amaterasu absorbs the power of sunlight within its body to execute devastating attacks. However, while it absorbs the rays, it is particularly vulnerable at its wings.
Additionally, you can restrict the movement of the Amaterasu by attacking it with a harpoon Karakuri.
Frost Grim / Rasetsu
What kind of monster is this? Frost Grim is a wolf so cool that it can summon ice blocks even when there is no water nearby. Generally, there is a chilling cold emanating from the body of the dangerous Kemono. The wolf is known as “the terror of hunters” and possesses enormous strength. Additionally, it is very fast and can even be encountered in packs.
Strategy: In a fight with Frost Grim, it is important to keep an eye on the wolf despite its quick movements. An opportunity for counterattacks arises when Frost Grim creates an ice shield around itself. This is relatively easy to destroy and allows you to take the initiative and deal damage to the Kemono.
All previously shown Kemono can also be seen fighting against humans in the cinematic trailer of Wild Hearts. The Karakuri technique is also utilized:

We explain all the details about enchanting in Minecraft, so you can get started right away and significantly improve your armor.
Minecraft has grown significantly over the years, and some mechanics are more complex and extensive than one might initially think. One of these areas is enchanting. There are quite a number of them in the game, and a lot of rumors and half-truths circulate on this topic. That’s why we’ve created a guide for you that explains everything about enchanting.
The article is currently for Minecraft Patch 19.0.3.
[toc]
What are enchantments in Minecraft?
What do enchantments bring? Enchantments are the only way to add additional, usually useful effects to weapons and armor in Minecraft. For example, the armor value of chest plates can be improved, or weapons can deal additional damage. Tools can also be enchanted to have better yields when mining diamonds. Many items can be enchanted in Minecraft, which saves resources in the long run or drastically increases the effectiveness of an item.
Fully enchanted, your character can endure more and be more effective.
How do you get enchantments? You can generally obtain enchantments in Minecraft in 3 different ways, the first of which is the most common:
Enchanting an item at an enchantment table
Combining an enchantment book with an item on an anvil
Combining two already enchanted items on an anvil
This guide focuses mainly on using the enchantment table, but the other methods will also be briefly explained.
Creating an enchantment table
How to craft the enchantment table: To get started with enchanting, you need to have gathered a few resources, as an enchantment table is not cheap. You will need:
4 obsidian
2 diamonds
1 book
You can either mine the materials yourself, where our diamond farming guide will surely help. Alternatively, you might also find all the materials in NPC villages with a bit of luck. Obsidian and diamonds can sometimes be found in chests, and you can obtain books by “mining” the bookshelves in the city library.
Arrange the materials as shown in the image, and you can set up an enchantment table. The enchantment table has no durability, meaning it will last for your entire Minecraft life.
Improving the enchantment table: To ensure your enchantment table can offer the strongest and best enchantments, you will need 15 bookshelves. Arrange these around the enchantment table, each with a block of space in between – essentially the perimeter of a 5×5 pattern, as shown in this image. If everything went well, you should see small runes floating over the bookshelves to the enchantment table from time to time.
Bookshelves around the table enhance its effect.
Each bookshelf increases the effectiveness of the enchantment table, thus boosting the number and effectiveness of the enchantments offered. While upgrading isn’t a must, it should definitely be done to fully utilize enchantments.
Requirements for enchanting
Enchanting is generally quite easy. You will need 3 things:
An item you want to enchant
A sufficiently high player level (preferably 30+)
1-3 lapis lazuli (a large supply is recommended)
Which items can be enchanted? You can craft items of all kinds. Whether it’s an iron armor, a golden pickaxe, or a diamond sword – almost all equipable items can be enchanted, enhancing or extending their functions.
How to collect experience: Your player level is determined by experience points, which you earn by performing many actions in the game. This includes:
Collecting rare ores
Breeding animals
Smelting ores or cooking meat
Fighting and defeating enemies
By killing enemies, you collect experience points.
How to find lapis lazuli: You typically obtain lapis lazuli by digging deep shafts. It is a relatively rare material that mainly occurs between levels 1 and 32. Therefore, you will likely find lapis lazuli along your search for diamonds.
This is how enchanting works at the enchantment table
You simply need to open your enchantment table and drag the desired item into the designated slot. Then place 3 lapis lazuli into the second field.
Afterward, you can hover your mouse over the 3 fields on the right side. This will reveal one of the enchantments you are guaranteed to receive if you select it. There may also be additional random enchantments. However, this is not guaranteed and has a high random factor, which also depends on the material. Items made of gold can be enchanted particularly well but have low durability. Therefore, diamond or netherite is generally recommended.
You can already see one of the enchantments – but there may be more.
The 3 fields also indicate how expensive the enchantment you select is:
Field 1 always costs 1 character level and 1 lapis lazuli.
Field 2 always costs 2 character levels and 2 lapis lazuli.
Field 3 always costs 3 character levels and 3 lapis lazuli.
As you may have already guessed, the enchantments from Field 3 are usually the strongest, but also the most expensive. When enchanting high-quality equipment (such as made of diamonds or the new material netherite), you should always aim for the enchantments from Field 3.
The number on the right side indicates the character level you need to perform the enchantment. In the above example, you would need at least level 30 for the enchantment at the bottom, and 3 levels would be deducted for enchanting.
If none of the 3 offered enchantments appeal to you, it is worth “rerolling” the enchantments. To do this, simply select an enchantment and apply it to an item – it works best on a book. If you want to save resources, select an enchantment of rank 1 to “reroll”. You will then be offered new enchantments.
You can also bind enchantments to books to use later at the anvil.
When should you enchant? Generally, you should always convert your earned levels into enchantments when you reach level 30 or higher. Even if you do not currently need a new enchantment, it may be worthwhile to bind enchantments to books and store them somewhere. Because keep in mind: If you should die, you will start again at a low level. It would be a shame to waste those experience points. So, invest them regularly in enchantments.

Crafting and using enchantment books
If you have a high character level but can’t find an item you want to enchant, you should still invest your experience. The best way to do this is to bind enchantments to books.
Simply place a book in the enchantment table instead of another item along with the desired amount of lapis lazuli. Then select the enchantment – done. Now the enchantment is bound to the book and can be transferred to other objects from there.
Books serve as temporary storage for enchantments.
For this, you will need an anvil. Set it up and then combine the desired item with the enchanted book to apply the enchantment to the item. The book will be consumed in the process.
Enchanted books are thus a good way to “store” enchantments for a long time and use them later when you really want to.
Combining enchantments
If you are not satisfied with your enchantments, you can further improve the corresponding weapons and items. This is done using an anvil, which allows for two types of upgrades. Note that both methods consume player levels, just like the enchantment table. The more powerful the repair or merging of items, the higher the costs.
Uniting enchantments: Enchantments can be merged into a new level.
Example: If you place two iron swords enchanted with “Sharpness II” in the anvil and smelt them into a new sword, that sword will have “Sharpness III” – the next higher level.
Some enchantments can only be obtained in this way (like Sharpness V or Strength V).
Combining enchantments: A further method is to combine enchantments.
Example: If you have a diamond pickaxe with “Efficiency III” and another diamond pickaxe with “Durability III,” you can combine them into a new pickaxe that has both Efficiency III and Durability III.
This way, you can create very powerful items that are not obtainable via the normal enchantment table.
Finally, you can use the anvil to transfer enchantments from an enchantment book to an item.
Removing enchantments
It is also possible to remove enchantments from items if you no longer want them. For this, you need a grindstone.
You can either craft the grindstone yourself or find it in many NPC villages in the forge.
What does removing enchantments do? Removing enchantments resets the item to its original state, meaning the enchantments are removed. However, the player is credited with some experience points, which can then be invested into new enchantments.
This also works with enchantment books.
Enchantments can also be removed.
Basically, the higher the rank of the enchantment, the more experience points you will receive back. However, there is always a loss. You will receive less back than you originally spent on an enchantment.
Only the two curses cannot be removed in this way.
With this, you should know everything important about enchantments in Minecraft!
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is the Tera Raid with Titan Quajutsu playable. The first players have already successfully completed the challenge and shared their methods. We at MeinMMO provide you here an overview of various strategies that players could use to defeat and catch Quajutsu, as well as the attacks that the Titan Pokémon uses during the raid.
The guide was originally published on January 27, 2023, when the Tera Raid with Titan Quajutsu was available for the first time in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Since February 10, the raid is playable again.
What attacks does Quajutsu use? Titan Quajutsu uses its additional attacks “Double Team” and “Toxic Spikes” at the beginning of the battle.
Ice Beam
Hydro Pump
Nightslash
Garbage Hit
Additional Attack Double Team (so your attacks hit less effectively)
Additional Attack Toxic Spikes (poisons your Pokémon when they respawn after a K.O.)
What should you consider with Quajutsu?
Quajutsu resets your status values after the third round.
Quajutsu has the nature “Mild”, which gives it a lowered Speed value and an increased Special Defense value.
Quajutsu is a Special Attacker, which means that its Special Attack value is higher than its Attack value and it predominantly has special attacks.
What kind of strategy is this? The perhaps most effective method on this list uses a Vaporeon with the ability Water Absorb, the move “Water Ring” for HP regeneration, and a Stored Power strategy.
The move “Stored Power” becomes stronger with each stat increase of your Pokémon and consequently deals high damage. This strategy was introduced by the YouTube channel RageGamingVideo.
What do you need for this strategy?
Vaporeon at Level 100
252 EVs in HP, 252 EVs in Special Attack
Nature: Mild
Ability: Water Absorb
Moves: Acid Armor, Water Ring, Calm Mind, Stored Power
Item: Leftovers
Tera Type: Irrelevant/ not used
How do you proceed with the strategy?
Use Acid Armor (1x)
Use Water Ring (1x)
Stored Power
3x Acid Armor
6x Calm Mind
Call Move
Use Stored Power to defeat Quajutsu (about x3)
What do you need to consider with the strategy? If you are very unlucky, meaning really extremely unlucky, then Quajutsu can hit you three times in a row with a critical hit and defeat you with the third. If you want to make sure you are not defeated after the second critical hit, use the Life Call to restore Vaporeon’s HP.

Gastrodon with Stored Power against Quajutsu
What kind of strategy is this? The second strategy also uses the move “Stored Power” and is already known from the Tera Raid with Titan Cinderace. However, against Titan Quajutsu, you use a different item and should teach it the move Daybreak. You can see the strategy on the YouTube channel Osirus.
Update January 28: The article was originally published on January 27. We have corrected an error in the EV distribution of Gastrodon. Instead of 252 EVs in Attack, 252 EVs should be invested in Special Attack for Gastrodon.
What do you need for this strategy?
Gastrodon at Level 100
252 EVs in Special Attack, 252 EVs in HP
Nature: Mild
Ability: Irrelevant/ not used
Moves: Healing Wish, Iron Defense, Stored Power, Daybreak
Item: Leftovers
Tera Type: Psychic
How do you proceed with the strategy?
Use Iron Defense and Daybreak until Quajutsu resets the values
Use Iron Defense (3x)
Use Healing Wish (3x).
(If Gastrodon has low HP in the meantime, you must use Daybreak to ensure that it does not get defeated.)
Use Stored Power multiple times to defeat Quajutsu
What do you need to consider with the strategy? Gastrodon must primarily watch out for the highly effective move Nightslash, although it should survive several hits due to its high Defense.
Additionally, Quajutsu resets your values after 3 rounds. Until then, you should increase your defense with “Iron Defense” and keep your HP high with “Daybreak.” The goal is that Quajutsu cannot defeat you with the following attack after resetting your values.
What is this strategy? The Clavion strategy is also based on the move “Stored Power.” The strategy comes from the YouTube channel OG DNZ and makes use of Clavion’s Steel type. This means Quajutsu’s Poison attacks have no effect, and Nightslash only deals low damage.
What do you need for this strategy?
Clavion at Level 100
252 EVs in HP, 252 EVs in Special Attack
Nature: Mild
Ability: Strolch
Moves: Iron Defense, Metal Sound, Calm Mind, Stored Power
Item: Leftovers
Tera Type: Irrelevant/ not used
How do you proceed with the strategy?
Use Calm Mind (x2)
HP regeneration through Life Call
Use Calm Mind (x6)
(If necessary, use Iron Defense (2x) to further increase the strength of Stored Power)
Use Stored Power multiple times to defeat Quajutsu (if necessary, use Life Call again to regenerate HP)
What do you need to consider with the strategy? As with all Stored Power strategies, your Pokémon should not be defeated, as then the increased status values will reset. So keep an eye on your HP and use the Life function to regenerate health when the leftovers are not sufficient.

Finding Pokémon with perfect stats in Pokémon GO is not that easy. In a survey, MeinMMO asked: How many do you actually have? Now there is a result.
This was the survey: “Perfect Pokémon”, “Four-Star Pokémon” or also “Hundos” – there are several terms for monsters that are caught with maximum stats in Pokémon GO. However, finding them is not easy.
What were the results of the survey on perfect Pokémon?
This is the result: Initially, there was a clear leaning towards the higher numbers, but over the course of the survey, a relatively balanced picture developed.
21% of the votes were for 11 to 30 perfect Pokémon in the entire collection
20% indicated having 0 to 10 perfect Pokémon
Then, with 18%, players who have collected over 151 perfect Pokémon followed – a total of 621 votes
17% indicated having 51 to 100 perfect monsters
14% fell into 31 to 50 monsters
10% were at 101 to 150 perfect monsters
If you summarize the answers into two areas, you find 55% of players who have caught under 50 perfect Pokémon, but also 45% who have collected more than 50 – sometimes even significantly more.
Thus, the survey is balanced, but the numbers of individual trainers vary widely. How many perfect monsters one has depends not only on rarity but also on other factors. For example, how long one has been playing, how much one trades, or specifically tries to hunt for “Hundos”.
There was also discussion about the survey on our Facebook page for Pokémon GO and in the original post. Some describe how they obtained the monsters. Among other things, trainers had success with trading, hatching eggs, or rescuing when it came to collecting perfect Pokémon. Depending on the “source”, there are better chances for perfect stats.
For example, user “KarlDieter” writes: “Playing since 2016, actively since 2018 195,000 Pokémon caught. 167 4*, including 3x 4* lucky, 3x 4* shiny, 2x 4* crypto, 34x 4* rescued”
“D” writes: “I see myself as a casual player. But I have been playing daily since 2016. Have 79. But that also has to do with the fact that I don’t check every Pokémon. I neither use a tool nor manually.[…]”
“Ivan” writes: “I have 426 in the perfect Dex, but have been playing since 2017 with a map”.

The MMORPG Lost Ark arrived in the West a year ago. To celebrate its birthday, the developers are giving away a trophy, which only the hardest fans of the game have received. However, to qualify for this, one must put in so much effort that some are not even proud to have it.
What kind of trophy is this? On February 8, Lost Ark turned one whole year old in the West, at least for those who pre-ordered back then. They were allowed to start in the world of Arkesia three days earlier.
In line with this occasion, there is also a new achievement along with a pretty trophy to earn for your own island, if you truly belong to the hardcore fans of the MMORPG. To get it, you have to log in at least once every single day. If you miss just one day, tough luck.
Can you still get the achievement? From now on, the achievement is in the game for particularly ambitious players to catch up on. It’s called “365 days of perfect attendance” and can be used to track your progress.
The rules remain the same; you must log in for 365 consecutive days to claim the statue. By the way, it is quite possible that Amazon will introduce a similar achievement for 730 days next year, as similar achievements already exist in Korea.
The new continent Pletze is already available in Korea:

Lost Ark: Trailer tempts with new continent and another class – But players in the West still have to wait
It is currently unknown exactly how many people have managed to earn the trophy. We have asked Amazon directly and will update this article as soon as we receive a response. However, it probably isn’t too many.
And not even all of them are proud of it.
Fans make fun of hardcore players – “I don’t know if I should be proud or sad”
Nevertheless, the achievement was not announced to us beforehand. Many players react more with mockery and scorn to the trophy, even some users who have received it share this view. Some people sarcastically refer to the big gatekeeping problem in Lost Ark and joke that soon you will need the trophy to join good groups.
By the way, this is what the somewhat coveted trophy looks like in the game:

What do the people say who have received the trophy?On reddit many actually react somewhat surprised, but also with shame. One confirms in a comment that he has received the achievement, then adds to his comment: “I don’t know if this makes me proud or sad.”
Another says in astonishment: “I didn’t think I would get it. I guess I have to thank my fear of missing out for that.” This refers to the daily login rewards of Lost Ark, which many players claim daily.
Another user writes, “This is exactly the kind of achievement you shouldn’t tell other people you have.” However, there is generally a lot of humor in the comments and only a little negativity.
External circumstances ruin the achievement, say fans
What do other fans say? Among a handful of fans, anger over the trophy prevails. There are some comments from people who claim they should have received the achievement too, but haven’t. Others simply find the achievement itself not good. “Imagine you have something life-threatening and have to go to the hospital. Bam, achievement lost” writes user Akasha1885 on reddit.
Also, TessaraSorc shows annoyance at the achievement: “There are some people in my guild who missed it by a few days. Two members missed it because they had to attend funerals. Others missed the trophy because there was no internet in Canada for several days last year. The whole achievement feels bad.”
Other players, however, take the matter with a lot of humor and shoot out comments like, “You should touch grass again, if you still know what that is.”
What do you think of the achievement? Did you maybe even get it? Feel free to share it with us in the comments here at MeinMMO.
Meanwhile, players from Destiny 2 have had ample time to look at the new subclass Strand on paper with all options. While the Hunter and Warlock are absolutely satisfied with their new abilities, the Titan sits in the corner sulking. His criticism is absolutely justified, as Bungie once again only trusts him with the brutal brawler in Lightfall.
What are Titans criticizing? With the new subclass Strand, great new abilities will come into play for all three classes in Destiny 2. Just not for Titans. Those who hoped for innovation and a more elegant super with enormous penetrative power were disappointed. The message for the sturdiest class remains: “Titans like to hit things.”
The Hunter receives outstanding movement with Lightfall and becomes the master of deadly grace. In all the trailers, he dances thrillingly but unscathed through the enemy lines with his Strand Widow’s Silk.
The Titan, however, does what he always does. He receives two blades instead of fists with Strand, with which he can perform light and heavy attacks.
In the subclass trailer for Strand, you can see the Titan smashing to fulfill his role:
Start video
Destiny 2 shows new insights into Strand in its trailer – The focus in Lightfall
Titans do not want the Bud Spencer role: Despite the new subclass, not much changes for Titans. Even with Stasis, the last subclass added to Destiny 2, the Titan was out there with his fists, brutally shattering ice crystals. With Strand, the new task seems very similar and many Titans do not like that.
On Reddit, a big discussion has sparked about the fundamental class identity of the Titan. Especially because Kevin Yanes, the design lead at Bungie, mentioned in an interview about Strand that Titans are “the fist on the cover of the game”.
With Blade Fury, it is more about giving you the survival tools to really attack those guys and then giving you an option for range, which is usually not done with these roaming Supers to hang things from a distance and deal damage. That is their heavy attack, this “dual blade uppercut” that you see in the trailer. I think those are two of the most important ways we have tried to shift them. But yes, Titan main fighters, we love you. We do. But don’t forget that we are trying to enhance your core fantasy. And at some point, [your class] holds the fist on the cover of the game.
Bungie wants you to smash: Apparently, Bungie’s vision of the Titan is a wild, untamed force in the game. He is supposed to deliberately resolve every encounter using the most violent methods possible.
In this style, the Titan class is supposed to be suitably expanded in future seasons of Lightfall. And that does not please some Titans, as they want to be more than just the rough brawler who beats everyone up in their own sci-fi fantasy of the Destiny universe.
“Bungie, you have described Titans as powerful beings who stride across the battlefield and are confident that they are the hardest thing that is not classified as an orbital platform. And if you give them the power to change the fundamental foundations of reality, do you think we will want to hit more often? I want to like Strand, but I don’t play Titan to hit things.”
And Piemarai adds:
As a Titan main, I now feel that they are forcing us to look like we are compensating for something!
Other Titans have no problem with it, like JMaccleBot. He says bluntly: “Shut [your mouth] and smash. You’re wrong, it’s fun!”
This is what Bungie says about the Titans’ identity crisis
The Titans’ desire not to want another roaming super is a valid criticism. And Bungie has now reacted to their complaints.
They tried to calm the wounded Titans via Twitter. They understood the Titans’ wishes and ensured during development that the Strand Titan, despite its smash mentality, will also provide new gameplay possibilities. So it should also feel “fresh” compared to previous subclasses in Lightfall.

The Twitch streamer Tectone accidentally shared with his viewers how much he earned from a sponsorship with the MMORPG Lost Ark – and panicked at first. Now the clip is being discussed critically.
What kind of stream was that? In an otherwise quite normal stream, Tectone, a member of the organization One True King, was visited by his OTK colleagues Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo and Emily “Emiru” Schunk.
Together they took a look at the stream of the newcomer in the organization, Emily “ExtraEmily” Zhang. That’s nice, said Tectone, the three of them would welcome Emily to OTK, she would do great.
However, the nice moment was abruptly interrupted when an email appeared on Tectone’s screen that he probably did not want to share with his viewers.
35,000 Dollars for Lost Ark
What kind of email was that? A notification from the email service Outlook appeared in the stream. It clearly revealed the subject line as well as the beginning of the message itself: “OTK Media, Inc has transferred you $35,000. Memo: Inv #LostArk”.
By itself, Tectone earned almost 32,700 euros from his sponsorship deal with Lost Ark. For that, he spent a total of 118 hours in the MMORPG, most of it in February 2022 (via TwitchTracker).
However, it is unclear whether the payment refers to this playtime, as Tectone later noted that the sponsorship took place in November. It could thus be his share of an OTK event at Twitchcon (via reddit).
How does Tectone react? When the streamer sees the notification, chaos initially breaks out in the streams: Tectone screams loudly, quickly switches the screen to his facecam, and takes a celebratory lap around his room.
He keeps shouting how incredible it is. His colleagues are visibly confused by the sudden outburst.
We have embedded a clip of the reaction here:

However, Tectone also seems to quickly realize what he just showed to his average 3,000 viewers, many of whom can probably only dream of such sums. Once he calms down a bit, he says conspiratorially: “No one saw that, okay?”
Mizkif, on the other hand, apparently does not understand how this blunder could happen at all: “You show your emails on your main screen?” Tectone then exclaims that he does not know how to turn that off.
Do Streamers Still Need Donations and Subscriptions with Such Amounts?
How is the clip being received? The corresponding excerpt from the stream has already been viewed over 108,000 times and is thus one of the most-watched clips from Tectone. The recording also made its way to the LivestreamFail subreddit, the largest community for streaming topics on reddit.
A thread there has already received more than 630 comments (as of: 10.02.2023, 11:45). One of the most-liked comments questions the sense of giving streamers extra money: “Don’t donate to streamers, people!” (via reddit)
Some reddit users somewhat relativize this, saying that smaller streamers do deserve support.
The reaction of Tectone is also being discussed critically: he panicked when the notification appeared, and then pretended that the amount was something special for him. Reddit users accuse the streamer of presenting himself as less well-off in front of his viewers (via reddit).
The loot shooter The Division 2 from Ubisoft has been operating in a kind of maintenance mode for a while now, but wanted to continue providing its loyal fans with some content tidbits and innovations. Currently, however, this is not possible – the game is so broken that no updates can be implemented.
Update, 5:00 PM: The issue seems to be resolved now. The Division team has initiated maintenance (via twitter.com)
Original message: The game publisher and developer Ubisoft had written off its loot shooter The Division 2 very early on. After the major expansion “Warlords of New York,” it suddenly ended, with no further content planned.
Normally, the responsible parties then extend the current season, repeat events, and stretch everything a little more. But currently, Division 2 is so broken that not even this is possible.
