How to get as many rewards as possible before the event ends

  • Complete the daily area quests with your friends: You can each accept only one daily quest. However, that doesn’t mean you can only do that one quest. You can share the daily quests among yourselves and thus do each available quest once a day. With this add-on, you can even see what you are still missing:
  • Trade items in your community, guild, and with friends: Don’t be disappointed if you loot one of the rewards twice. Your friends probably feel similar. Many of the rewards are not bound. So you can easily trade them among yourselves.
  • If necessary, you can look for missing rewards in the guild store: Don’t despair if the last reward just won’t drop or if you miss out on the event. There will be plenty of event rewards in guild stores. And that even after the event has ended.

How to get your event tokens – daily area quests

To get your event tokens, you must complete daily quests. For this, you must go to the area of High Isle and Amenos. In the capital Gonfalon, you can find the quest givers when you walk past the inn to the Ancient Anchor on the right.

Crazy Waiting Times in WoW WotLK Classic: Player Cannot Start After Napping

The start of WoW WotLK Classic was really bad on some servers. A forum post makes it clear how long the queue lasted for some players.

On the night of September 27, 2022, the release of WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic took place. For us in Germany, the start shot was at midnight. In the USA, players could start depending on the location at 3:00 PM local time. Accordingly, the rush was great in the regions where people could play during the day.

We show you what experiences the players share about their starts.

Hours-long queues – Also in Germany?

A player writes: In the WoW forums, player Stonyj writes that he is still in the queue after a nap and still cannot play. He had probably chosen his sleep so that he could register in the queue beforehand and bridge the waiting time.

The user writes: “I got in line at 4:00 PM. Then I slept for 5 hours and I’m still in line for another two hours.” The post was made by the user on the launch day of WotLK Classic. “Holy Moly, what a long wait today,” he adds.

Other users agree and share similar experiences.

  • “Since I got off work, I’ve been in the queue. […]”
  • “That’s annoying. I joined the queue at a similar time and was able to get in around 9:30 PM.”
  • “I’ve been in the queue since 1:00 PM and now, 8 hours later, I’m still not in. The calculation shows that I still have 1.5 hours of waiting time before I can get in and play. Until then, I have to go offline and go to bed to be ready for work tomorrow. It will get better, but not anytime soon.”
  • “I joined the queue at 3:20 PM and then went to work. It’s now four minutes to 11:00 PM and I still have 40 minutes [in the queue] left.”

This is what it looks like when you get on the servers: Our WoW expert Benedict Grothaus couldn’t resist and directed to the servers right at launch. He logged in before the start and was able to wait at midnight along with hundreds of other players. Together, they all stood at the dock waiting for the boat that was to take them to Northrend. You can see how the huge group moved when the boat arrived and shortly thereafter docked in Northrend in the video:

Start video
At the release of WotLK Classic, hundreds of players are squeezing onto a boat and I am right in the middle

Were the queues just as bad everywhere? No. From personal experiences and conversations with our fellow players, we know that only the popular servers had such huge queues. This was to be expected. The servers with a low population had little to no queues at all.

However, on the popular EU server Venoxis, players should also expect queues days after the release. During peak times, one might still have to wait a few minutes today. On release day, September 27, the servers were packed – and so were the queues.

The best game on Steam is now even better – The smartest way to invest 10 € in gaming

Terraria is statistically the best game on Steam. Although it only costs €10 one-time, it has been continuously developed for 11 years: After the “last update” in 2020, another patch that excites fans has finally come: Labor of Love went online yesterday, on September 28th.

Why is Terraria considered the best game on Steam? Terraria has achieved something that no game before has: It received 1 million reviews and maintained the best possible rating: “Overwhelmingly Positive.” Currently, it stands at 97% positive reviews (via twitter).

No game on Steam has achieved this before Terraria: It is an incredibly good game that only costs €10 once and has been excellently developed over the years.

More on the topic
The 31 best survival games 2025 for PS5, Steam, and Xbox
von Benedict Grothaus

What kind of game is it? It is an extremely complex 2D open-world game where you enjoy maximum freedom. Terraria offers a huge sandbox where you can explore, build, survive, or mine for ores: It can be played in singleplayer and multiplayer.

Some call it a “2D Minecraft,” but that’s not entirely accurate.

2 years after the end of the game, a big patch arrives

How is the game getting better now? The developers had actually officially concluded the development of Terraria with the patch “Journey’s End” in 2020.

However, now with “Labour of Love,” an update is coming that sounds like they just want to make fans happy:

  • A new “Zenith” world is being introduced: The developers call it the “Magnus Opus of the Terraria World Seeds.” The world is supposed to have unique features from all other Terraria worlds and also new, yet unknown features.
  • It is also said that the world is harder than all previous ones.
  • Additionally, many more “Quality of Life” improvements are being made: Players can create 3 different loadouts, and most items stack up to 9,999.
  • The combat system is also being revised.
  • There are also 300 new items, 25 new block and wall types, and many other changes.

The patch is now live, and you can read all the patch notes here (via forums.terraria).

Terraria is his life’s work: Andrew Spins.

What do people say about Terraria? In the comments on PC Gamer, a user says:

  • “The $10 I spent on Terraria when it came out was the best gaming investment I’ve ever made and probably ever will make.”
  • On Steam, a tester says: “This game is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s so much fun and has so much content, and it’s crazy that it only has 280 MB. How is that even possible? I love it.”

Terraria seems to be an example of the much-maligned model “Games as a Service” that brings people a lot of joy.

We once had a very nice story about Terraria on MeinMMO. Google had dared to confront the game’s lead:

Guardians from Destiny 2 lure Hollywood star into the game – “Will never have time for new movies again”

Hollywood star Chloë Moretz is now playing Destiny 2. The passionate actress was looking for a new gaming challenge and was quickly convinced by Bungie’s space shooter. We will tell you what the community says about the famous Guardian, which class she plays and what her first impression was.

Who is Chloë Grace Moretz? Chloë is an American model and young actress who has already landed a few impressive film roles with her ambitious attitude. The 25-year-old is particularly fond of turbulent action films.

  • In 2010, she successfully played the notable role of “Mindy MaCready” aka “Hit-Girl” alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Nicolas Cage in “Kick-Ass”.
  • In 2012, she returned in the sequel, “Kick Ass 2”.
  • Further roles followed in “The Equalizer”, “The 5th Wave”, “Bad Neighbours 2” and others.

Besides acting and modeling, Chloë Moretz is also a passionate gamer. This is well known, especially through her own posts via Twitter.

When the CoD beta ended, she immediately asked her followers on Twitter for a new gaming challenge. It didn’t take long for her to receive a brief and questioning recommendation “Destiny 2?” from Guardian deRanged Shaman.

She promptly replied to him that she had just downloaded Bungie’s space shooter. Obviously, something about Destiny 2 made Chloë’s gamer heart beat faster quite quickly. However, she has not yet revealed exactly what that is.

Destiny 2 has quickly won over the actress.

Guardians are already joking: That’s it for the film career

Guardians from Destiny 2 know exactly what the actress can expect – fun, but also a lot of grind that will cost a lot of time.

Many in the community congratulated her on her choice. Additionally, the “Kick Ass” star has already received the first offers for questing together and invitations for various activities. Other Guardians joked with her.

  • Player Monroe Jigsaw predicted for her on Twitter: “Ohhhhh, this will be the best and worst decision you ever made in your whole life. Welcome to the madhouse!”
  • AwwwwD is excited and “can’t wait until you play nothing but Destiny, but at the same time hate the game”. 
  • And Crizy knows that one can sink many hours into Destiny 2 quickly. Therefore, he can imagine: “When she enters this universe, she will never have time to participate in a new movie again!”

And indeed, that was something that Chloë recognized shortly afterwards. The newly minted Guardian posted, having familiarized herself with the space shooter a little, laughing on Twitter: “You weren’t joking … Destiny is very demanding (consuming)”.

All Guardians had to go through this realization.

She is certainly not wrong. Without a guide, it is indeed challenging in Destiny 2 to understand which quest sequence is the correct one.

Especially which content corresponds to which expansion and how the gameplay flows can quickly confuse new players. Therefore, Destiny 2 remains a game in 2022 that, despite many improvements, you shouldn’t explore alone at the beginning.

However, while every other player has to painstakingly seek connection or help through videos and LFG, the actress has already received a lot of tips, enthusiastic clan invitations, and fireteam applications online.

Even content creators smell their opportunity: She is not only receiving offers from players. There are also invitations and tips from well-known Destiny 2 content creators, such as Datto, KackisHD, or Frostbold, which have already come in. The streamers are apparently sensing their opportunity to perhaps have the famous actress in one of their Destiny livestreams someday.

The applications were quite impressive:

Frostbolt would love to have a sweaty Trials match with Chloe.

You can assume that Chloë will keep her followers updated via her Twitter account about what she is doing in the Destiny universe and especially, how she finds these experiences. Just as she has done with her other games so far.

Not the only celebrity Guardian in Destiny 2: By the way, Chloë Moretz is not the only celebrity moving around in the Destiny universe.

  • The Xbox chief Phil Spencer has also spent a lot of time with Destiny.
  • Similarly, Lance Reddick, the voice of Zavala and star of series like Fringe, The Blacklist, or the successful John Wick, chapter 2 and 3.
  • Zach Braff, aka JD from Scrubs, shares the Destiny passion with his nephew.
  • And a few other famous stars who could have stood next to you in the game.

Which Destiny class did Chloë favor? Before she entered the Destiny universe, the “Kick Ass” star still had to choose her character class. It was either a powerful Titan or a sprightly Hunter?

After a short consideration and an exchange with Destiny players and the community manager from Bungie, she ultimately chose the Hunter. “The speed of the Hunter” seemed better to her. Apparently something that her followers also considered absolutely fitting for a true “Hit Girl”.

What do you think? Would you like to play a round with Chloë or would you prefer to see her in a stream with the Destiny content creators? Or perhaps you think the actress will soon throw in the towel anyway. So feel free to share your opinion with the community in the comments.

If the “Kick Ass” star remains faithful to the Destiny universe, then she will also soon have to do without this popular third-party app because Bungie wanted to ban cheaters:

New AI makes trainer dreams come true and shows you how you would look like as a Pokémon

For trainers in Pokémon GO, it’s all about the little pocket monsters. But how would you actually look as a Pokémon? A new AI makes this possible now. Our MeinMMO author Franzi has tried the AI for you and shows you the results.

Which program is it about? Those who want to dive into the world of Pokémon could previously do so primarily through the anime or through the main series games, the trading cards, as well as with the help of Pokémon GO.

A new artificial intelligence (AI) now allows trainers to dream of becoming a Pokémon themselves and creates a suitable graphic for that. We will show you how it works and what graphics I created.

How to Become a Pokémon

The creative minds at Replicate have developed a tool called “Text-to-Pokemon” that has the ability to create graphics from texts. To be precise, these are not just any graphics, but hilarious images that directly remind one of Pokémon. And the best part is: everyone can be part of it.

How does the AI work? Creating such a graphic is incredibly simple. If you want to see yourself as a Pokémon, you need to proceed as follows:

  • Open the Text-to-Pokemon website.
    There, you can first take a look at how the tool is set up and discover initial graphics.
  • Scroll down the page to under the input mask and click on “Sign in with GitHub”.
  • Now you have the option to register for free or log in if you already have an account there.
Here you can register (via replicate.com)
  • Once you’ve done that, you will be redirected back to the input mask that was previously grayed out.
  • There, you can now enter any texts and determine various parameters.
  • Then you confirm your input with the “Submit” button.
  • After that, you will see the progress of your image on the right side. Once it’s 100% loaded, the graphic will be displayed to you.
  • You can then download it using the “Download” button.
This is how you can generate your graphic (via replicate.com)

What Do Our Pokémon Graphics Look Like?

I had to try this tool on behalf of all Pokémon fans and generated graphics for the most important terms surrounding Pokémon GO. Of course, our team from MeinMMO had to be part of it as well. Here are the results:

Especially the graphics of Giovanni, Blanche, and Candela are, in my opinion, very accurately depicted. Even without a closer description, one could suspect who it is.

And the red and blue color of Pokémon-Ash’s body actually reminds of his clothing in the anime. Professor Willow, on the other hand, looks a bit angry, which we are not used to from him in this way.

For one graphic or another, you need to know what was entered, as it may not be directly recognizable at first glance. But the images are definitely ready for the Pokémon world. Now we just need the fitting names.

Personal conclusion: In my opinion, the AI is really great. The images are funny and provide a cool distraction. I could have spent hours creating new Pokémon graphics. So if you’ve always wanted to know how you or your friends would look as Pokémon, you should definitely try the tool yourself.

What do you think of the created graphics? Will you create one for yourself? Or do you find it just totally pointless? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.

In the coming weeks, there will be a lot going on in Pokémon GO. All events in September and which of them are particularly worth it have been summarized for you.

Twitch: MontanaBlack participates in the Wok World Championship – Takes along ‘Ballermann-Penner’ Knossi and Trymacs

Some of the biggest German Twitch streamers will be attending the Wok WM from ProSieben: foremost MontanaBlack: In a Twitch stream, he hinted at the participation months ago, but ironically. He said: He has no interest in it at all. Especially not with a ‘Ballermann loser’ like Knossi. Besides the two, Trymacs and Unsympathisch.TV will also be in the Wok.

What is the Wok WM? It was a show initiated by Stefan Raab, which Pro7 then held 13 times. It ran from 2003 to 2015.

Basically, it’s like luging, just with a wok: a device usually used for cooking.

More or less prominent individuals would luge down the track in the wok. For the overly ambitious Stefan Raab, it was another opportunity to compete with his rival Joey Kelly. In the end, however, the professional luger Georg Hackl typically won.

Already two months ago, MontanaBlack and Knossi talked about it in a Twitch stream.

Then Knossi asked his friend MontanaBlack how it would be if they went to the Wok WM. However, MontanaBlack completely denied it, although he stumbled at the beginning and almost let the cat out of the bag.

“How will the Wok WM be for us? – Oh, right. If we – ah, no. I imagine that to be crap. So if I go, I would go with cool people, not with you. […] With you, the show is over, brother. You’re no longer in the hype. You’ve become a Ballermann loser.”

A 10-year-old champion is currently destroying League of Legends – What makes Varus so strong in LoL?

More and more professional players are playing Varus in the mid lane. After Frederik “NoWay” Hinteregger showcased the pick in the bot lane weeks ago, the champion is a secret tip for the League of Legends Solo Queue. He can be played in two different ways, depending on the opponent team composition.

What makes Varus so strong? Varus has been played in the mid lane from time to time and has often been among the meta picks in the past. However, the current meta revolves mainly around common mages like Viktor, Taliyah, and Sylas.

And this is where Varus comes into focus. He deals incredibly high damage with his Q and W combination. Here you can see a clip of Cho’Gath, who takes almost 5900 health in a few seconds of damage:

Varus kills Cho’Gath in seconds with his combo

AP Varus can deal massive damage through combinations with his W ability and completely destroy opponents.

It suffices for the opponent to have taken 3 stacks of his W ability beforehand, which can then be activated by the other abilities. The main damage comes from the combination of Q and W abilities and is very painful for the opponent.

If you are interested in the World Championship, check out the Anthem of Worlds 2022:

Start video
LoL: Worlds Anthem 2022 – STAR WALKIN’

What should you consider while playing? Depending on the opponents, Varus can be played in different ways. There’s the full AP Varus, which focuses on ability power. This build focuses on the combination between the Q ability and the stacks of the W ability to kill opponents from a distance. 

The alternative focuses on dealing additional damage with each auto attack. In this build, you work a lot with attack speed and must pay special attention to how you position yourself on the map and move in fights.

Here we will briefly outline the two variants. Feel free to be inspired by the builds and experiment further to find out what works best. If you’re not sure yet, use the practice tool in LoL so that the ranked games are not seen as lost right from the start.

The right runes and items for your Varus build in LoL

The Full-AP Varus:

  • Your runes in the inspiration tree are: First Strike > Magical Footwear > Futures Market > Cosmic Insight
  • In the second tree, you can experiment. However, bone plating and lifesaver have proven to be effective so you can endure more and take control of the lane
  • The most important items are: Doran’s Blade > Nashor’s Tooth > Riftmaker > Rabadon’s Deathcap
  • The playstyle focuses on hitting with your ultimate ability or getting 3 stacks on the opponent before you shoot him with an arrow

The Attack Speed Varus:

  • For the attack speed build, the runes are: lethal tempo > triumph > legend: zeal > cutting down
  • In the second tree, it is essential that you take the runes cosmic insight and magical footwear. This provides Varus with additional cooldown reduction and more movement speed
  • The most important items consist of: Doran’s Blade > Infinity Edge > Blade of the Ruined King > Guinsoo’s Rageblade
  • In case the opponent team has a lot of ability power damage, buy the end of wisdom after the Infinity Edge
  • The important thing about this build is to stay in constant movement to avoid being caught off guard

Here you have a fight at the dragon, showing how effective Varus can be:

caPs showcases his Varus Midlane in the LEC and the casters are shocked

By the way, we tried the attack speed build for you. The game was played at Bronze-Silver Elo:

Test game of the Varus build

Who else plays Varus? The mid laner of G2, Rasmus “caPs” Borregaard Winther, plays off-meta champions from time to time in the Solo Queue. In his streams, he plays champions like Shaco or Zac mid lane. 

After NoWay played Varus mid lane, caPs adopted the pick and played it himself with success. It went so far that the mid laner of G2 played the pick in the LEC and this pick helped his team to victory.

Who is NoWay anyway? Frederik „NoWay“ Hinteregger (30) plays in the mid lane for No Need Orga (NNO) – he himself is the second largest German Twitch streamer ever. NoWay is now significantly larger than MontanaBlack.

So far, Varus’s pick rate doesn’t promise much. The win rate of Varus is currently still 49.35% (via op.gg). After G2’s strategy was published and Twitch streamer NoWay showcased the pick as a trendsetter, we can only wait and see when the nerf on Varus comes, as some Reddit posts already suggest.

Blizzard warns: Don’t miss the best quest in WoW WotLK Classic!

Just before the best quest in Wrath of the Lich King Classic , Blizzard explicitly warns. Those who can should skip an important piece of Warcraft history.

The launch of Wrath of the Lich King Classic went relatively smoothly, but there are some annoying problems. Long wait times on some realms spoil the fun, and now there’s this: The popular quest line “Battle for Undercity” is full of bugs and cannot be completed in many cases.

Worse still: Your character could get stuck in a phase where it simply cannot proceed. Hence, the appeal from Blizzard: Please do not attempt to complete this quest!

What kind of quest line is this? The “Battle for Undercity” is one of the major historical highlights in World of Warcraft. Sometimes also called the “Wrathgate” quest line, it involves a significant conflict between Horde and Alliance as well as a drastic crime by the Forsaken.

In the fight against Arthas and the undead Scourge, there is a joint assault by the Horde and Alliance on the Icecrown Citadel. However, the Forsaken apothecaries betray all sides and unleash plague upon the Alliance, Horde, and the Scourge. There are numerous deaths on all sides, including heroes like young Saurfang or Bolvar Fordragon.

Sylvanas denies any involvement in the betrayal by the apothecaries and shifts the blame to the dreadlord Varimathras and a solo act by apothecary Putress. The Horde and Alliance then march into battle to conquer Undercity, which is currently in the hands of the apothecaries. This very scenario is available to play there.

Start video
WOW WotLK Classic: Die Pforte des Zorns

What is the problem with the quest? It is apparently not a single problem, but several. Most often, it seems that the scenario “The Battle for Undercity” simply does not proceed past a certain point. There is no way to complete the quest, and players are stuck in this phase.

While Alliance players can only unsatisfiedly abandon the quest and leave the scenario, the consequences can be more severe for Horde players. According to Blizzard, it is particularly problematic for the Horde, as “this quest step puts characters in a phase they cannot escape from, which also affects vendors and trainers in Undercity and Orgrimmar.”

When will there be a permanent solution?? That is still unclear. Blizzard is already working on a short-term fix, which is only a temporary workaround. Within the next day, characters should have the option to simply skip the event in Undercity. At the same time, it should be ensured that everyone who skips the quest can catch up on it later.

Blizzard says in the official WoW forum:

It breaks our hearts to ask our players to skip this iconic content, and we will do everything we can to implement a comprehensive solution as quickly as possible to provide a more reliable player experience for those playing this quest for the first time, and to give players who were forced to skip it a way to catch up on it. But we cannot currently estimate when we will be able to offer a complete fix.

Blizzard’s main goal is, of course, to make the event error-free. However, that may still take a while and will probably “not happen in the next few days.” There are many problems coming together, and their resolution has likely been worsened by the increased number of characters per realm.

Those looking forward to the legendary “Battle for Undercity” quest line should be a bit more patient – or take the risk of spending a very, very long time in Undercity.

Overwatch 2 listens to your voice chat, converts it to text, and even analyzes it

Blizzard will now listen to your voice chat in Overwatch and even transcribe it – this is supposed to help filter out trolls and nasty people.

With Overwatch 2, Blizzard is doing several things differently. This affects not only content and gameplay but also monitoring methods and the collection of evidence when players act inappropriately. The voice chat in Overwatch 2 will be logged and evaluated immediately in case of reported violations.

What was said? In a lengthy blog post, the developers of Overwatch 2 described how they want to combat negative behavior more effectively. One method they have developed in recent months and years focuses on audio transcription, which is set to launch shortly after release.

In practice, this means that Overwatch 2 will temporarily save your voice chat communication. If a player is reported for their behavior in the voice chat, the software automatically creates a transcript (i.e., a written record) of the spoken words. The sound recording is then promptly deleted. The saved text is subsequently examined for violations and disruptive behavior using chat review tools. Based on this evaluation, potential sanctions will be applied.

The transcript is stored for a maximum of 30 days and is then deleted.

Overwatch 2 makes fans optimistic with a new trailer “Set high hopes for the game”

Why is Overwatch 2 doing this? Blizzard has committed in recent years to take significant action against negativity, insults, and harassment. Especially now, with Overwatch becoming a free-to-play game, there is a concern that the tone could worsen.

Therefore, Blizzard has proactively implemented several measures to create a friendly and positive environment in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch Defense Matrix Initiative
The “Defense Matrix Initiative” – this is how Overwatch refers to the totality of measures to combat toxicity.

Overwatch 2 restricts new players for 100 matches

What other measures have been taken? A whole series. Toxicity is to be significantly reduced, which is why the following points will also happen in Overwatch 2:

All Overwatch 2 accounts must be equipped with SMS Protect. Each phone number can only be linked to one account.

In addition, newcomers will experience some restrictions for the first approximately 100 matches. They will mostly play against other newcomers and can only select a few of the heroes. This way, they also unlock all game modes and features like voice chat and match chat. Thus, fresh accounts cannot troll immediately, but must first invest time in the game. These restrictions will be gradually lifted but are always disabled when the newcomer plays in a group with friends who have already progressed further.

Finally, player levels and the portrait frames associated with those levels are disappearing. Blizzard has found that the frames have often led to players being criticized – either because they are “way too low level” or, conversely, because someone does not meet the expectations associated with a high level.

What do you think of the measures? Do you think it is okay for Overwatch 2 to store your voice chat and possibly evaluate it? Or do you think that goes too far?

Player earns 614 million Mora in Genshin Impact – Is now the richest person in the anime RPG

HoYoverse, the development studio behind the popular anime RPG Genshin Impact, has showcased special player statistics and crowned the “King of Mora” as the richest player.

The anime RPG Genshin Impact is one of the most expensive games ever developed. However, in the latest special edition of the HoYoverse Teyvat Courier, it’s not about the money invested in the anime RPG. The developers celebrated special statistics in the fifth issue of the magazine and crowned the richest player of the game (via HoYoLab.com).

How was the richest player crowned King? Genshin Impact has a magazine called “Teyvat Courier” in the German version. In the Teyvat Courier, HoYoverse reports on special stories or events from the world of Genshin Impact.

In the latest special edition, the focus is on impressive statistics of individual players. One of them is called “King of Mora” and crowns the richest player of the action RPG.

How much did the King of Mora earn? As reported by HoYoverse in the Teyvat Courier, the King of Mora earned a total of 614,680,333 Mora in the last year, making him “the richest traveler” of the game.

What is Mora? Mora is the primary in-game currency of Genshin Impact and is needed for many things within the anime world. For example, you need Mora to upgrade your weapons or characters.

Mora is earned by completing main quests and side missions. If you are looking for tips on how to collect the in-game currency, our colleagues from GamePro have 8 tips on how to earn Mora in Genshin Impact.

Other “Genshin Impact” players are also making headlines: The impressive statistics of the players are not the only remarkable stories that the Genshin Impact community has to offer.

A player logged in to the anime RPG for 662 consecutive days and reached the highest level. Meanwhile, however, he didn’t invest a cent in the title because it was important for him not to lose his status as a F2P player.

Lost Ark receives a huge update, has 16 hours of server downtime today – promises strong gifts as compensation

Today, Wednesday, September 28, the huge September update is coming to Lost Ark. While there are no exact patch notes yet, there will be up to 16 hours of server downtime. However, Amazon promises many gifts as compensation.

What kind of update is this? The monthly update has always been adhered to in Lost Ark, but the September version is simply enormous. In addition to a new class and a new Legion Raid, there will finally be server merges.

The goal is to revive somewhat extinct servers by merging them with other servers. The technical framework for this was implemented in the game a few weeks ago, which resulted in a full day of server downtime due to technical difficulties.

Why is it taking so long? According to the developers, the long downtime is due to these server merges. They must simply move incredibly large amounts of data from one server to the next, they say in the forum.

Regions where no servers are merged will therefore only have 4 hours of server downtime and can play the new update much earlier. However, there will be merges in the regions of West Europe, Central Europe, and South America, so you should all expect up to 16 hours of downtime.

The regions will be restarted individually and independently as soon as the merges are completed. We will keep you updated on this article.

Update 1:30 AM: All servers are live again and the bugs have been fixed. We wish you lots of fun with the new patch!

You can watch the trailer for the September update here:

Start video
Lost Ark shows the machinist class and creepy clowns in the September update trailer

Many gifts for the downtime – Spread over 2 weeks

Compensation for the downtime: Due to the long server downtime, a two-week event will follow in the affected regions, where you can collect even stronger rewards than usual by logging in daily.

This special login event will start as soon as the servers are back online and is supposed to last until October 12. As a reward, you will receive 5 million silver on the first day, but the rewards otherwise are impressive too.

Many upgrade materials, card packs, and even 20 pheons are among the gifts, for which you just need to log in daily. A complete list of the gifts can be found directly on playlostark.com.

How the server merges work

Which servers are affected? Server merges will take place in both European regions. We will list which servers are exactly affected here:

  • West Europe
    • Shadespire merges with Rethramis
    • Petrania will be integrated into Tortoyk
    • Tragon merges with Moonkeep
    • Stonehearth merges into Punika
  • Central Europe
    • Sirius and Sceptrum will merge into Armen
    • Thaemine and Procyon will become Lazenith
    • Nineveh and Beatrice merge into Evergrace
    • Brelshaza and Inanna will be Ezrebet

What should you consider if you are affected? It is important to clearly distinguish between two groups of players. If you only have characters on one of the two servers, there’s actually nothing to consider. You can simply click on your new server today and everything should work as usual, just with a different name.

It gets complicated, however, if you already have characters on both servers that are to be merged. Then there are countless detailed rules that you can read in full at playlostark.com.

In principle, the “better” part of each server setup will be retained. Account storage will be merged, as well as materials. Many of your collected items and currencies will simply be added together.

What other content comes into the game with the big update, you canread about in a separate article.

Ubisoft delays the pirate MMO that they keep delaying for the 5th time – “Does anyone even want to play this anymore?”

The pirate MMO “Skull and Bones” promises naval battles in the style of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. However, Ubisoft keeps delaying the game. It has now been postponed for the fifth time. The release was originally planned for 2018, with the last date set for 2022; the current launch date is now March 2023. Players are starting to doubt whether the game will ever be released.

“Skull and Bones” was first announced in 2016. The promise: A standalone version of the naval battles from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. This resonated with many players, as the thrilling naval battles had left a lasting impression.

Now, 6 years have passed and the game has been postponed several times. During Ubisoft Forward in September 2022, a showcase event for the publisher Ubisoft, they promised Skull and Bones for the end of 2022.

But that seems to be off the table again. A new release date is March 2023. However, many players are beginning to wonder if the game will ever be released.

The latest trailer for “Skull & Bones” was shown during Ubisoft Forward in September:

“Does anyone even want to play this anymore?”

How are interested players reacting? The reactions are mixed. Some shrug their shoulders and say that whether they have to wait another six months doesn’t matter after so many years.

However, other players are resigned and ask whether anyone still wants to play the game. As it stands now, the game is already several years old and has 5 years of development time behind it.

Many fear that a game that keeps getting postponed can’t be good. After all, “Black Flag” is now almost 10 years old and was released on October 29, 2013 (via twitter.com).

Ubisoft has been developing the pirate MMO for 5 years, constantly changing content

Ubisoft was reportedly swept up in the hype surrounding the naval battles (via twitter.com). Many fans had demanded a game focused solely on such action-packed naval battles. Initially, they stated that Skull and Bones should provide content for at least 15 years.

But after the first announcement, it became surprisingly quiet regarding the pirate MMO. Ubisoft has reportedly made many changes behind the scenes. The focus was initially supposed to be on PvP battles, but now PvP is said to be just an optional component of the final game.

Particularly absurd is the thought that Ubisoft also announced a TV series for its pirate MMO. Since its announcement in 2019, not much has been heard or seen about this series.

And with the constant delays of the game, it remains questionable whether Ubisoft still wants to invest more money into this franchise when it’s already struggling with “Skull & Bones”:

Bungie bans operator of an important site for Destiny 2 unjustly – he is furious, throwing everything away

In Destiny 2, there was a wave of bans: Apparently, Bungie wanted to prevent cheating in the new, old raid “King’s Fall.” But some players seem to have been banned unfairly. One of them runs an important site called D2Gunsmith and is now quitting.

What was this ban wave about?

  • As Sportskeeda explains, Bungie wanted to combat “Net-Limiting”: This cheating technique allows players to manipulate data and achieve abnormal rates of fire with weapons.
  • When applying Net-Limiting, one creates a slow internet and lag, allowing one to easily eliminate even a powerful boss.
  • To address this method, which caused unfair conditions, especially in raids or dungeons, Bungie initiated a large wave of bans. They apparently aimed to specifically curb cheating in the raid “King’s Fall.”

Operator of the site D2Gunsmith gets banned – quits everything immediately

This player has been affected: One of the players that got banned is active on Twitter under the name aundra_kerr. He runs D2Gunsmith: a site where players can create their dream weapons.

Because Destiny 2 notoriously reveals very little information and makes everything as complicated as possible, such clear sites are popular among Destiny 2 fans: They can spend hours there imagining how their “dream weapon,” the God Roll, will look.

destiny-2-gunsmith-waffe
Destiny-2 players’ hearts soar: like a child in a candy store.

The operator of the site felt completely unfairly banned and furiously announced: That’s it for Destiny 2 and his site. He claims he has done nothing wrong, possibly some internet issues led to his ban. But he doesn’t care about that now. He has already uninstalled Destiny 2.

He didn’t want to know about anything. He also had no desire to file a complaint against the ban. He said: The last time someone was “falsely banned” and complained, they had to fight non-stop for 8 months to get unbanned. He really has better things to do.

Moreover, this is now an ideal excuse not to have to manage the website any longer.

The operator of the site announced that he would withhold open transfers from people, but he does not want to make the source code available to everyone. Otherwise, the site would be back online in just 2 days, but filled with advertisements.

https://twitter.com/aundre_kerr/status/1575103158132482048

Player gets unbanned after a short time, still doesn’t want to continue

What happened next? In fact, the man did not have to wait 8 months, but was free again just a day later.

However, he does not want to continue the site: He is annoyed by the whole situation. Because if he were not the type of person he is, he believes he would have had only a tiny chance of getting unbanned.

Moreover, he enjoys his free time and the state of Destiny 2 does not suit him anymore.

Players in Destiny 2 tell him they understand his frustration and thank him for the many efforts he put into his site for Destiny 2. But some are already disappointed that such a valuable site may soon not be updated and lose its utility. Especially the layout was appreciated.

Well, maybe he will gather his courage and return to Destiny 2 with a major expansion – just like some do who quit out of disappointment.

What’s behind this: It’s something very human. When people volunteer so much time into something, they expect recognition and perhaps privileges, even if they don’t say it outright. But in some way, they want to feel like they play a special role in the larger community.

But when they feel from the company that they are just a name in the system and are treated just like everyone else, it can lead to a dip in motivation. And apparently, the good man felt a type of relief after deciding to give up the website, being freed from the obligation.

For players, it’s always hard to get banned. Even worse if you really did nothing wrong – but even if you were a bad guy, a ban hurts:

  • Lionel Messi: The Argentine scored twice in the 3-0 win against Honduras and could secure a spot in TOTW 2. If EA includes him, FUT players can expect a formidable card.
  • Mohamed Salah: A similarly strong performance was delivered by Mohamed Salah in the match Egypt against Niger. Just like Messi, Salah scored 2 goals, ensuring a 3-0 final score. A place in the new TOTW would therefore be deserved.
  • Bruno Fernandes: The offensive midfielder of Manchester United delivered a strong performance in the match Portugal against the Czech Republic, managing a goal and an assist. It remains exciting to see if he makes it into the new TOTW.

LoL: Team NNO is trailing 0-2 games and 3:11 kills in an important match, it is dead as a mouse – Until a risky play changes everything

Last night, on September 27th, the duel between Hertha BSC and No Need Orga took place in League of Legends: It was about promotion to the Prime League: Everything was going for Hertha BSC, they were overwhelmingly superior, just a few minutes away from deciding the series and securing promotion to the 1st league. But one man refused to go down silently: Niklot “Tolkin” Stüber (24).

Why was the game so important? It was about promotion to the 1st Prime League:

  • Hertha BSC had invested a lot in the team, assembled a super roster, brought in players with a lot of experience, especially the Pole Mateusz “Matislaw” Zagórski, a 26-year-old midlaner. Hertha dominated the season in the 2nd league for the most part.
  • No Need Orga, on the other hand, consists of Twitch streamers, some of whom are former professionals who had actually put their careers behind them. Toplaner Tolkin had ended his professional career in 2020 and started a job as a caster – but had to quit now to play for promotion.

The match yesterday was a nice appetizer before the Worlds start in a few days:

Start video
The LoL Worlds 2022 have their anthem – Song shows e-sports as anime battle, excites the fans

Berlin is overwhelmingly superior – A few minutes before promotion to the 1st league

How did the match go? From Hertha BSC’s perspective, it was a walk in the park: The Berliners were overwhelmingly superior for two and a half games, able to do whatever they wanted on the map, securing every objective, and taking the seemingly scattered players from NNO apart at will.

It seemed like

  • Hertha played and acted as a unit
  • it seemed that NNO had 5 people playing together, each doing their own thing and unable to act strategically

Every Herald, every Dragon, every Baron went to Hertha, NNO had no chance to get into the games.

Especially the supporter of NNO, Karni, served as a side snack on Nautilus, getting snacked on repeatedly by Hertha BSC. Jungler Agurin could hardly make an impact. Midlaner NoWay appeared isolated and was ganked early by the opposing jungler Lamabear.

At Hertha, ADC Coldraa was in top form and got two quadrakills.

It looked really bad.

Especially against Jinx, NNO found no answer at all:

The first two matches were quickly lost, and in match 3, NNO was actually hopelessly behind at 25 minutes:

Hertha BSC led with 11:3 kills and had almost 6,000 gold advantage – the match seemed already decided.

LoL League of Legends Aatrox Title
Aatrox proved to be an important pick for NNO

Tolkin goes “All In” with Aatrox

What play changed everything? It was actually already in the bag, Hertha just needed to seal the deal:

  • Hertha had just snatched the Baron, although they lost the supporter, they also killed NNO’s jungler and chased top laner Tolkin away
  • ADC Broeki hit the opponents with a rocket, but there was too much distance to the enemies. Hertha was on their way to the base to regroup. The next attack would come with Baron buff, NNO could hardly stop it
  •  There was actually no more danger: NNO had no vision on the escape route and couldn’t catch the opponents anymore.

But top laner Tolkin on Aatrox turned the situation around with a single play: He used the “Flash” ability to blindly teleport into the enemies and caught 2 opponents on the run, the approaching NoWay secured the 3rd kill.

Why was the play so risky? The Summoner spell Flash is extremely important and has a long cooldown. If you “flash blind” and there’s no one where you expect them to be, you can end up looking like a fool wasting your important tool. Or Tolkin could have jumped into instant death, surrounded by 4 players ready to take him down: a highly risky play.

“Tolkin from Hell”

How was the kill perceived? The casters of the game had almost given up on the game but suddenly saw it as a sign of life from NNO. In the cast, it was said:

Tolkin from Hell, just goes over this wall […] even shot blind, I believe. Didn’t even see him. […] A ray of hope for NNO, who will probably secure the 2nd Drake because of it and that’s only because Tolkin – and this has to be said – really has balls of steel and just goes over there against 3 men.

This is what happened after the kill: As the casters said, it was actually just a glimmer of hope – just a nuance that normally shouldn’t make much difference: Then Hertha would win 5 minutes later. But no.

This one action from Tolkin completely changed the course of the match. Suddenly, all of NNO played two to three classes better:

  • It turned the other 4 players into “very good LoL players”,
  • but Tolkin, who was already playing strong before, became a hard-hitting killing machine, succeeding in every close duel and becoming the match-winner for NNO.

In the further course of the encounter, he scored another solo kill in the top lane, successfully tanked 3 enemies in the teamfight, and almost took down the base all by himself at the crucial moment.

When the series ended and the choice of who the MVP of the match was came up, there were 3 players to choose from: Tolkin, Tolkin, and Tolkin.

The players from Hertha, on the other hand, suddenly seemed to doubt everything. Although they had played so strongly before, it now looked as if someone had pulled the plug and they were resigned to their fate, “once again” facing a reverse sweep from this team that they had previously totally controlled.

Tolkin’s old pump almost exploded

What does Tolkin himself say about the action? The top laner is also one of the biggest Twitch streamers for LoL in Germany. In an interview after the match, he said:

Game 3 … it was rough. We were pretty outplayed by the vision and then we had bad teamfight positioning in that one fight and then … my heart almost exploded. We recorded the video, with us 2 as old men, Grandpa Broeki, Grandpa Tolkin – and my pump at that blind-flash play – I was. I was so scared it would go wrong, but I trusted myself in that moment and … hey, we pulled off the reverse sweep. It just worked. So – why not?

Why has such a strong player like Tolkin never made it to the LEC? Tolkin says he had the chance to work his way into an LEC team two times. But he “failed the promo” both times.

As Tolkin himself says, he was: “too good for the German scene, too bad for the LEC” (via youtube).

After missing the chance to move to the LEC, it wouldn’t have made sense to keep trying, so he went “into retirement”. However, if he can play 1st league Prime League again with his friends at NNO, that would be cool.

CoD Warzone: Ex-world champion wants to hunt cheaters, has notorious Twitch streamer in sight

In Call of Duty: Warzone there is a big discussion about cheating. The Twitch streamer Nadia Amine is suspected by many of secretly using cheats. Former world champion Doug “Censor” Martin wants to investigate this now. The topic polarizes the player community.

What is the conflict about?

  • People are currently obsessed with proving that the successful 22-year-old Twitch streamer Nadia Amine cannot really play Call of Duty.
  • When Amine had to play on a different setup at the “CoD Next” event, YouTubers made videos about how absolutely terrible the 22-year-old supposedly plays “without her hacks.”
  • However, they took videos out of context and edited them to show only one bad round of Amine, while not showing the better rounds. The streamer explained that during this round, in which she looked so terrible, she had some technical problems.

The streamer sees the criticism against her mainly as a sexist attitude. “Boys” simply cannot accept that a woman is better than they are.

Twitch streamer is accused of cheating in CoD: Warzone, defends herself: “Accept that a woman is better”
von Lydia

“Without her hacks, she can’t do anything!”

How is it currently going? Essentially, there is now this narrative: “The attractive woman cannot really play, and it’s all just fraud.”

However, the streamer fights against this impression, participates more in live events, and plays Call of Duty with the e-sports organization “TSM” to prove that she is really “clean” (via twitter).

cod-youtube
Nadia is in the crosshairs of many YouTubers.

But many fans still insist: No, she is only that good with cheats – without these cheats she is terrible.

Her defenders, however, mock the criticism and see it as sexism. How could Nadia cheat on a PC that is provided by TSM?

There is almost the same discussion in PUBG: Here too, a woman is very, very good at the game and some suspect: That can’t be true.

At the moment, everything is still going well for Nadia:

Despite the accusations, she is a successful Twitch streamer who is invited to events and a valuable member of society. This seems to infuriate some, who want to prove that she is just a “fraud.”

Former world champion wants to hunt cheaters – Says he has secret information

This is now the new level: The former world-class player Doug “Censor” Martin is now 28 years old and more of a content creator than an e-sports player. He is known as quite a poser.

Censor has now made it his mission to expose “cheaters” in Call of Duty: He says he has a list of several people who downloaded cheats last year and wants to reveal them now.

On September 27, Censor tweeted: He caught a cheater in ranked play with “Tylierish” and will continue to deliver “justice.” For now, however, he will focus his attention on Nadia (via twitter).

cod-censor
Doug “Censor” Martin is on the hunt.

What’s behind this: Doug “Censor” Martin may not be a brilliant CoD player like he used to be, but he knows the CoD community very well and knows how they think.

A hunt for cheaters is guaranteed to bring in many views. And if one is already hunting cheaters, one might as well throw the name “Nadia” into the mix – people will jump in immediately.

The first players are already warning Nadia: “Doug will get you.”

Since the release, CoD has had a problem with cheaters:

“CoD needs to fix this, otherwise Warzone will be dead in a week”

FIFA 23 Weekend League – When does FUT Champions start?

More and more players are gaining access to FIFA 23, building their Ultimate Team and wondering: When does the first Weekend League start? Mein-MMO tells you when you can compete against the best players.

What is the Weekend League anyway? FUT Champions is the mode in Ultimate Team that promises players the best rewards. However, one must first qualify to participate.

The competition is divided into Play-Offs (during the week) and Finals, which take place only on weekends and are thus referred to as “Weekend League”.

When does the first Weekend League start? Date and Time

When does the first Weekend League in FIFA 23 start? The first FUT Champions Finals begin on Friday, October 7 at 09:00 AM. This is revealed by the in-game menu of FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

You have until Monday, October 10 at 09:00 AM to complete your 20 matches and collect as many wins as possible.

How does one qualify for the Weekend League? To qualify for the Weekend League, you must first collect Division Rivals points. To do this, you play Rivals matches until you have collected 1,250 points. Once that’s done, you can redeem the qualification points to participate in the FUT Champions Play-Offs.

There you must climb the so-called “Ladder” to qualify for the “Champions Finals”. If you achieve that, you can finally get started with the Weekend League, and great rewards await you, assuming you win a few matches.

WoW: WotLK Classic – The best glyphs for your class in overview

With Wrath of the Lich King, the second expansion of WoW Classic, you can optimize your characters through Inscription stronger than ever before. MeinMMO explains how the glyphs work, what the optimal combination for your class is.

[toc]

What are glyphs? In Wrath of the Lich King Classic, glyphs are consumables that can be crafted by the new profession Inscription. With glyphs, you can tailor your class abilities to your playstyle.

They enhance certain abilities or even add new effects. Depending on the gameplay, you should use different glyphs. Unlike in modern WoW, you consume your glyphs upon use.

In WotLK Classic, glyphs are tied to your talents. When you learn a glyph, it remains active until you replace it with another glyph or redistribute your talents. If you replace a glyph with another, the original glyph is lost – similar to enchantments on items or gems.

Watch the new gameplay trailer for WotLK Classic here:

Launch trailer for WotLK Classic: Pure nostalgia in Northrend

How do glyphs work? Glyphs differ in two types: Major Glyphs and Minor Glyphs.

Major Glyphs change or enhance individual class abilities, such as the duration of a damage-over-time effect. Minor Glyphs can, for example, reduce cooldowns of abilities or ensure that certain spells no longer require reagents, and cosmetic effects are also possible.

You can use 3 major glyphs and 3 minor glyphs at level 80. You unlock the slots at different levels:

  • Level 15: Access to 1 major glyph and 1 minor glyph
  • Level 20: Access to the second major glyph
  • Level 50: Access to the second minor glyph
  • Level 70: Access to the third minor glyph
  • Level 80: Access to the third major glyph

Where does the information come from? MeinMMO has been on the lookout for the best glyphs for you, browsing through numerous guides, such as from wowhead, as well as class discords. Below you will find a list of the best glyphs for your class and specialization.

We also differentiate between glyphs that are suitable for leveling and those intended for max level. We focus on major glyphs since minor glyphs can usually be chosen according to personal preferences.

Where do I get glyphs? However, there is a peculiarity regarding both types of glyphs: Scribes cannot simply learn all glyphs from the trainer. Many glyphs must first be unlocked randomly through the “Northrend Inscription Research” skill.

So shortly after the release of WoTLK Classic, it’s quite possible that the glyphs we recommend are not yet available on your server. Especially if your trusted scribe is still in the queue.

Then you can either turn to a glyph that we recommend for leveling or choose freely at your leisure. It is always better to use any glyph than to use none at all.

What about minor glyphs? We recommend only major glyphs here, as these have the greatest influence on your character. While there are some useful minor glyphs, their utility is usually not that great.

However, keep in mind that this list is meant to be a guideline only. If you prefer other glyphs because they better suit your playstyle, that’s perfectly fine!
