Path of Exile has been the big winner of Blizzard’s series of misfortunes in recent years. While Diablo 3 received only a few updates and Diablo Immortal was not even a game for many hack ‘n’ slash fans, Path of Exile was able to shine. The major expansion Path of Exile 2 was even supposed to compete with Diablo 4. But now it seems that Grinding Gear Games has overstepped. The new season “Lake of Kalandra”, which started on Friday, is receiving negative feedback and immediately Path of Exile is facing the consequences on Steam.
What is happening with the reviews of Path of Exile on Steam? People are currently venting their bad mood in Steam reviews of Path of Exile:
Overall, the game has “very positive” reviews on Steam since its release on October 23, 2013 – 89% are positive
But in the last 30 days, it has received criticism: only 42% of the reviews were positive. Quite a disaster.
Path of Exile lets you create the levels of the new league yourself – “You always find a way to pull me in”
Players with more than 2,200 hours write negative reviews on Steam
What bothers players? Players are dissatisfied with the current patch. A user with over 2,200 hours in Path of Exile criticizes (via steam):
Everything nerfed. Enemies buffed to the moon: melee is no longer an option for players who only use uniques. I want to have fun instead of dying in a random stunlock or by oneshots.
Steam user Dan Massimo
Addictive – but not in a good way
A German-speaking user with more than 2,000 hours complains (via steam):
Sorry, I can no longer recommend it without reservations. Given the changes to the gameplay in the last 6 months, I must clearly advise against installing the game.
Steam user Exalderan
The user compares the game to alcohol or cigarettes: it is indeed addictive, but not in a good way. He also criticizes that the game has become harder and stingier in recent months. Compared to earlier, you get 90% less loot, while enemies have become 10 times harder than a year ago.
He even says that the developers only care about selling microtransactions – they have lost sight of the players’ enjoyment.
How does the criticism affect player numbers? Usually, Path of Exile experiences a huge surge in players with a new league on Steam and other platforms. This time there was also a surge in players: at its peak, there were 151,145 players online on Steam, but they did not stay this time.
As the site mmorpg.pl reports, the player surge fizzled out this time:
By Tuesday, only 55% of the players who started with the new league on Friday were left.
It is said: this is the largest player loss in the history of Path of Exile.
Developers seem surprised at how few drops there are now
How do the developers react? The developers seem surprised themselves (via poe) that the game is now allegedly much stingier with drops, as this loot shortage was not planned that seriously. They have made some changes, but this result surprises them.
The developers report that they want to examine this more closely and address the issues with the changes.
Some observers criticize the developers for already having their heads at “Path of Exile 2” and neglecting the live game. More about Path of Exile 2:
The Opening Night Live of gamescom 2022 is over and provided us some interesting trailers for new games. Among them is an RPG that looks like a Kung Fu movie and reminds of Ghost of Tsushima. But it also gives you the chance to take on a regular job.
Which game is it? The new role-playing game presented at the Opening Night Live of gamescom 2022 is called “Where Winds Meet” and is being developed by Everstone Games.
What do we know about the release? Currently, no release date for Where Winds Meet is known. However, we do know that it is only planned to be released for PC at this time.
What is the game about? As the publisher NetEase revealed in a press release, in this role-playing game you will forge your own destiny within Chinese history (via GamesPress).
The action-adventure places you in the “Era of the Ten Kingdoms” within Chinese history, dating from 907 to 960. According to NetEase, you will take on the role of a wandering swordsman, using your martial arts skills to survive in this time full of wars and conflicts.
The reveal trailer showcases various aspects of the gameplay. These include sword fights, stealth elements, parkour or climbing sequences, as well as shooting with a bow and arrow.
If you haven’t seen the impressive reveal trailer of Where Winds Meet yet, we will embed it here:

Where Winds Meet Reveal Trailer
Gameplay features sword combat, everyday jobs and building houses
This is how you fight in Where Winds Meet: One of the most important gameplay elements of Where Winds Meet is your character’s sword-fighting technique. You can counter enemy attacks and reflect using Tai-Chi.
In addition, various martial arts abilities as well as the character’s overall acrobatics can not only be used in fights but also to your advantage outside of them. Your character is capable of climbing walls, jumping across rooftops and sprinting over waves.
Besides melee techniques, you also have ranged weapons that you can integrate into your combat style.
In the combat itself, however, you will encounter not only human adversaries but also various wild animals and supernatural creatures. To defeat them, you will need to adapt your approach, according to NetEase.
These role-playing elements make Where Winds Meet special: The action-adventure not only gives you the opportunity to fight but also features typical role-playing elements. You should be able to decide whether to remain true to your moral code and try to protect the innocent in this war-torn world or to pursue only your own well-being.
Furthermore, the game allows you to take on various roles within society and perform regular jobs. For example, it should be possible for you to embody a doctor and save lives. Similarly, there is the opportunity to become a merchant and earn gold.
As the gaming magazine IGN learned in an interview with the developers, the special aspect here is an online component. Everstone Games reportedly said that you can perform these jobs not only in interactions with NPCs but also online with other players. For example, the doctor can heal both NPCs and players.
Another highlight of gamescom 2022 was Dune: Awakening, a survival MMO from the creators of Conan Exiles:
Building structures: Another highlight of Where Winds Meet is likely to be building structures. You should have access to an extensive construction system with over 600 components. These allow you to create and inhabit constructions in the world of Where Winds Meet.
In general, Where Winds Meet aims to create a “never-before-seen open-world sandbox experience,” where you are supposed to have countless freedoms in your playstyle.
What do you think about the role-playing game? Do you find Where Winds Meet interesting, or do you believe it all sounds too good to be true? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments!
Another game that offers a lot of freedom and lets you dive into Asian history is Sengoku Dynasty. There you build your own village in feudal Japan.
Yesterday, gamescom 2022 kicked off in Cologne, and over 35 games were newly presented or received new trailers. MeinMMO author Schuhmann looks at who won the unofficial “Battle for the Trailer” for him and which game already seems hopeless right now. This is Schuhmann’s impression of the gamescom Opening Night Live.
Which games were presented? A total of over 36 trailers were shown last night in 2 hours, of which only one game, Dead Island 2, had two trailers to itself.
Harry Potter has the biggest hype before the start of gamescom
Which game had the highest expectations beforehand? If you listened on social media before gamescom, most Twitter users were excited about “Hogwarts Legacy”, the game from the “Harry Potter” universe. For many Potter fans, this seems to be the game they’ve been waiting for – and Harry Potter is one of the biggest pop culture brands in the world, on par with Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.
Chief editor Leya Jankowski was in the hall and captured the mood of the audience for us.
3 games received a lot of applause in the hall
Which game had the biggest reaction in the hall? The gamescom in Cologne has a live audience for the first time in 3 years that could react to the trailers. The last major events were held purely virtually.
According to MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski, the biggest reaction in the hall was Dune: Awakening, a new survival MMO from Funcom, who had already developed Conan Exiles. Leya wrote to us that she was close to fainting after the announcement.
Similar positive reactions were also seen for Hogwarts Legacy; it was enough to mention the title, and the mood in the audience was good.
The pretty violent Callisto Protocol also impressed the audience in the hall.
The laughter was on the side of games like Return to Monkey Island or Goat Simulator 3. In the “You play a goat” game, even the title is a joke: There is actually no game called Goat Simulator 2. The developers are such trolls that they already allowed themselves the first joke with the title and broke the rules for the numerical designation of a game.
This trailer could excite the hall: Dune: Awakening

How are the views looking? About 20 hours later, the trailer views for these 3 audience favorites look like this:
Regarding views, we refer to the official trailers – game trailers often have many views through other channels as well.

Who won in the games? If it depends on the video views on the trailer and the upvotes on reddit , “Dune: Awakening” seems to have won the start of gamescom.
In the gaming-savvy audience, the SF brand “Dune” is even a bit hotter than among the Twitter public, where Harry Potter fans dominate.
Classic Rock or Metal makes every trailer better
Who was my favorite? I, Schuhmann from MeinMMO, especially liked the trailer for
The Lords of the Fallen – it has 154,382 views and 1,159 likes

This is not because I liked the game so much, or that I’m a Dark Souls fan, but I’m just totally conditioned:
Because the game with the somewhat silly name, like every “Dark Fantasy” game, relied on a rock classic, Danzig – Mother.
The combination of action trailer and classic rock has convinced me since the first Destiny trailer, where Bungie showed how much they love Led Zeppelin.
For me, one of the best hype trailers ever:

Unusual game walks on dangerous paths
Who is already the candidate for “The Game is Dying?” It is a bit sad because it was also received with applause in the hall and wants to appeal to core gamers and enthusiasts, but I must admit that “Moonbreaker” has poor chances of surviving long-term.
The game wants to be a “turn-based strategy game” and replicate the tabletop experience of miniature games like Warhammer; you should even be able to paint miniatures.
The trailer for Moonbreaker has 38,000 views and 535 likes.
The game wants to be a mix of “Xcom and Hearthstone”, combining two successful games.
However, it seems to me more like a mix of “Atlas Reactor” and “Battleborn”, two terrible flops. Although I actually liked Battleborn, it just didn’t work with its insane aesthetics, where every character was somewhat odd, it simply did not function.
In the comments on YouTube, some people are already saying that instead of playing something like this, they would rather just stick to the original.
The development team behind the game is known for drastic genre switches and surprises. With “Subnautica”, they had a pacifistic survival hit, but that Moonbreaker will be a success can already be doubted – even though I would genuinely wish for a “against all odds” success for the game.
But I doubt the game, also because “Mister Death Kiss himself” has already taken Moonbreaker into his heart: former MeinMMO editor Jürgen Horn said he liked the game, so he’s already sure it will die soon. Jürgen has some kind of little curse going on:
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a successful game from the developer studio Rockstar Games, which captivated its players with its extensive story. The YouTuber Kush Qrox found a hidden cutscene in the game files. The clip suggests: A huge part of content was withheld from gamers.
Red Dead Redemption 2 comes from Rockstar Games, which is also known for GTA 5.
The game is a western shooter set in a fictional version towards the end of the Wild West in America. The game is praised especially for its good story in the campaign and was very well received by gamers.
In the game data, a cutscene was found that suggests: The story could have been even more extensive. However, a large part of content was likely cut.
Want more western shooting? Here you can see a trailer for the new shooter Evil West:

The story might have gone differently
What content do we have in the game? In Red Dead Redemption 2, there is the side quest titled “A Fisher of Fish” (Fisher of Fish). In this, the player or the main character Arthur Morgan meets the fisherman Jeremy Gill, who challenges him to a fishing challenge. Here, Arthur has to visit various locations and catch certain fish specimens.
Certain fish can only be caught once the player reaches the epilogue in Red Dead Redemption 2 while playing as John Marston. Because: As Arthur, the locations Blackwater and New Austin are almost inaccessible. However, there are fish that need to be caught as part of the mission.
What content was removed? In the cutscene, it is suggested that Arthur is supposed to catch a fish in Rio Bravo. Therefore, one can assume that Arthur was also meant to travel to Blackwater and New Austin in the cut content.
This raises the question of whether the hunt and the near-death experience with the lawmen, as we know them in Red Dead Redemption 2, would have occurred in this form.
If the player tries to reach Blackwater as Arthur in the game, bounty hunters quickly spoil the plan.
What happens in the video? On August 20, 2022, YouTuber Kush Qrox released a cutscene titled “This unused cutscene proves that Arthur could explore New Austin” (via YouTube)
Here you can watch the cutscene:

What does the cutscene show? The scene seems to be not fully developed, which is why Arthur talks to an “invisible person”. However, Jeremy Gill can be recognized by his voice.
The fisherman wants Arthur to go to Rio Bravo, to which the main character asks if that is not in the desert. Arthur also expresses his discontent and says that he does not want to go there, but eventually gets persuaded.
At the end of the clip, Arthur stands in front of a lake located in New Austin.

A few days ago, Pokémon GO held a Community Day (C-Day) featuring Galar Zigzagoon which led to quite a bit of criticism. We at MeinMMO wanted to know how you envision this event in the future and we are showing you the results here.
What event is this about? On August 13, 2022, the monthly Community Day took place in Pokémon GO, centered around Galar Zigzagoon. Niantic gifted you a variety of bonuses, like increased Stardust and enhanced XP, along with a special research task.
However, while many were excited about the Dark and Normal Pokémon, there was also a lot of criticism surrounding the event. The reason for this was the event time planned by Niantic. Why this has led to quite a debate and how you envision future events is summarized below.
That’s why the event times of the C-Days are causing debates
Here’s the problem: As you may know by now, this event period also lasted 3 hours and therefore ran from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time. Thus, the Community Day was held exactly during lunchtime. Unfortunately, this led to problems with the prevailing weather conditions in some regions.
Many players complained about the high temperatures at that time. In some areas, there was even a warning against going outside because the sun was too intense. However, playing Pokémon GO from home is hardly possible due to the deterioration of the smoke.
For this reason, trainers have been demanding adjustments to the event times for quite some time now.
However, this has changed nothing and trainers have had to play within the designated 3-hour window since then to utilize all the content of the Community Day. And even the level 4 raids following the C-Day, which Niantic recently introduced, clearly couldn’t change this opinion.
Survey shows the majority wants a change in times
As there has been ongoing criticism of the current event times of the Community Days, we wanted to ask you in a survey how you envision these events in the future. So, whether you are satisfied with the current 3 hours or would like to change the times.
This is how you decided: As of today, August 24, 2022, at 2:00 PM, a total of 2,416 people have participated in our survey. And the results are quite clear. We asked you: “How should the Community Day look for you in the future?” and received the following responses from you:
44% (1,063 votes) for “The event should last 6 hours again”
33% (797 votes) for “The Community Day should last all day”
17% (414 votes) for “The Community Day should be a 3-hour window that you can choose yourself”
6% (142 votes) for “The event should stay at 3 hours”
What do the results show? Your voting shows that a whole 94%, or 2,274 people, wish for a change in the Community Day times. Only 6% are satisfied with the current times.
However, opinions differ considerably regarding the length of the event. The majority would be happy to see a return to a 6-hour event. However, a full event day is also conceivable for a third of you.
That’s why Niantic should adjust the times of the Community Days
No fixed time: Some particularly see a time-independent solution as a good idea. With this, players should be able to activate an event period of 3 hours for themselves on C-Day using smoke or tickets, depending on how it suits them.
Although this option only garnered support from 17%, or 414 trainers, in our survey, this idea keeps coming up in your suggestions. For example, here are some comments:
Wolve In The Wall: “Therefore, it’s best not to set a specific time window, but rather like ‘back in the day’ simply from 10 AM to 5 PM – or even better analog to raids (I believe 6 AM to 10 PM) conduct. 1. Then it’s actually a DAY instead of “Happy Hour” 2. Within this time window, everyone should truly be able to participate for 1-3 hours if they really want to 3. Whether one plays only an hour or three or the whole day is up to everyone themselves”
Ivan: “I am strongly in favor of a weekend ticket or smoke to choose for areas with few stops, that one can ignite for three hours. It would also be conceivable (if no smoke, because too individual) that one receives a ‘Mega Lure Module’ that one can activate at a stop or even at a gym and then spawn creatures in a radius of 300m.”
artigkeitsbaer: “So I played on that day, had some shady spots but realized after 3 hours that I had a headache. I think it was a mild heat stroke. I don’t think the time restriction is good at all. It would be better if they just let it run on that day and one could unlock it freely.”
Extension of time periods: But generally, many trainers in the comments believe that 3 hours is too little or that the event should at least be shifted to a different time. In particular, family and weekend work play a crucial role for some:
Daniel H.: “3 hours are too little. They say Community Day? A day has 24 hours”
Dietemar v. A.: “Yes, it should be changed. Also for those who work. The evening hours would be better.”
Isabell K.: “I preferred the 6-hour format over the 3-hour one. I often miss it or only come in just before the end.”
Stephanie L.: “And in principle, it would be helpful if not everything was always from 11 AM to 2 PM. Cooking and lunch slows down every C-Day for moms.”
Mo L.: “The old times (6 hours) would be better to avoid rushing when working during that time.”
However, not all trainers have a problem with the change, as they feel that the 3 hours are completely sufficient for playing. However, they cannot understand the outrage over the reduced event times and playing during lunchtime. Comments like on MeinMMO and in our Facebook group can also be found:
Ascy: “Due to the additional feature with level 4 raids, the 3 hours are now sufficient. Admittedly, I couldn’t last the full 3 hours because it got too hot for me. I completed my tasks and was glad to find some coolness. The thing is, it’s hard to find a time window that will fit. In the end, everyone will find pros and cons. It’s summer, so there will be 1-2 C-Days that will be quite warm…”
Vallo: “I don’t care. Put on a cap, take drinks with you and let the hunt begin. It’s only 3 hours and I lose interest after about an hour anyway.”
LadyH: “I find the three hours completely sufficient and the hottest time of day is not noon, but late afternoon.”
Sören L.: “You’re complaining as if there’s no shade… Putting phones on cooling pads helps too, otherwise just carry a power bank and drink enough.”
Oli255: “I passed by a tennis court while playing. The courts were occupied. I could see little due to the planting, but could hear the sounds of the balls bouncing. I also came across teenagers in soccer outfits, apparently on their way to the sports field. And that is real sports and not just walking around like in Pokémon GO. Oh yes, and there was also the weekend construction work on the train line, hard physical labor! This whole fuss about heat and health in Pokémon GO seems almost like a satire on our society of fear. You just can’t take it seriously anymore.”
Whether there will be a change in times in the future remains to be seen. If there is more information about this, you will find out at MeinMMO.
What do you think about the 3-hour event window for Community Day? Would you welcome a change? And what would that look like? Or is the time totally sufficient for you, and can you not understand the criticism of other players at all? Let us know in the comments.
Samsung presented a brilliant monitor at CES 2022. Now you can pre-order the device for 3,500 euros. But what can the monitor actually do?
Manufacturers regularly launch new products to convince gamers or other consumers to spend money. At CES 2022, the most important trade fair for consumer electronics, Samsung introduced a unique monitor.
Gaming monitor costs 3,500 euros and fulfills gamers’ fears
What kind of device is this? The new monitor from Samsung is a 55-inch monitor that features 4K UHD. Samsung also uses Quantum Mini-LEDs for the display. Additionally, the display is curved, with a 1000R curvature. This strong curvature is said to be closest to the human eye according to Samsung.
Curvature in Monitors: In gaming monitors, the curvature of the display is given in R. Many monitors start with a curvature of 1800. The smaller the number, the more pronounced the curvature of the curve.
The curvature in monitors is supposed to be better for the eye and also allows for a stronger “immersion” in the game.
What is special, however, is that you can rotate the monitor 90 degrees. Samsung refers to this as “Cockpit Mode.” This makes the monitor appear even larger and bulkier in front of you on the desk. During the presentation, some users referred to it as a spaceship.
In addition, there is a remote control that allows you to change the arrangement of windows on the display or the screen resolution. With such a large monitor, you no longer have to worry about whether you should buy a second monitor for your setup.
Various views of Samsung’s Odyssey Ark.
What did gamers fear? Already during the presentation of the monitor, many users suspected that the new monitor from Samsung would not be cheap. At that time, someone explained that they would buy the monitor immediately if the price did not exceed 2000 US dollars.
However, with a price of 3,500 euros, the price is well above their pain threshold, and many other users are likely to feel similarly.
You need strong hardware if you want to use such a monitor
If you really want to game on such a monitor and not just do office tasks, then you need sufficiently powerful hardware. You should at least have a GeForce RTX 3080 or an RTX 3090 if you want to take advantage of the 4K resolution.
Other Gaming Monitors: You can also find a list of the best gaming monitors you can currently buy on MeinMMO. If you’re still looking for a suitable monitor for your gaming setup or console, take a look at our buying advice:
In ESO Update 35 has been loaded onto the servers, but this led to an annoying bug with the new card game “Tales of Tribute”. ZeniMax had to step in to minimize the damage.
To contain the damage, ZeniMax eventually disabled the leaderboards and leaderboard games temporarily for the card game to get to the bottom of the problem.
Players receive lower ranks for nothing
Can I still play Tales of Tribute now? You do not have to worry, as casual matches of your beloved card game on High Isle are still possible.
Are you ready for a round?
Only the leaderboard matches were removed until a fix for the issue was found.
When will the leaderboards work again? This is still not known. The fact is that the development team is working hard on a hotfix. So, until its release, you will still have to wait.
What happens to my lost ranks? You don’t have to worry about that either, as the developers made it clear that when the hotfix is rolled out, every player will regain their old rank prior to Update 35. So if you lost any, you will get them back.
What do you think about the card game on High Isle? Do you find it varied and cool to be able to play tactical card games in ESO besides the bloody slaughter? Please let us know in the comments what you think about this and whether you were affected as well!

On August 21, the Berlin Major concluded in Berlin, one of the most important tournaments in the tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege. The victory went to the European team Rogue. One player stood out in particular: 18-year-old William “Spoit” Löfstedt even dropped out of school to make it there.
Which tournament is it? The Berlin Major recently concluded the second of three seasonal phases, with one more Major to follow, leading up to the World Championship in the form of the Six Invitationals. Thus, the tournament hosted by Ubisoft is one of the most important in R6.
From August 15 to 21, the 16 strongest teams in the world had the opportunity to compete against each other for a prize pool of around 500,000 €. It got so heated that the organizers had to come up with something to cool the players down.
Who are the winners? In the final, the European team Rogue managed to defeat the favorites from FaZe Clan. Until the last minute, everything was still open. The players from Rogue can now rejoice over a prize money of 200,000 €.
This is how the final unfolded: It was a real nail-biter. FaZe led on the first map and took the lead, but Rogue equalized on Villa, the second map. FaZe took the lead again, but Rogue equalized once more.
Then it came down to the final on the Clubhouse map. Although Rogue is usually very strong on this map, FaZe initially took a 2:0 lead. But Rogue fought back into the game, equalized, and then clinched the victory in overtime.
One player particularly stood out at the Major.
Player is barely of age, wins the Major right away
This is Spoit: The esports player of Thai and Swedish descent has only recently become a professional, and there is a reason for that: Due to the age restriction of the game, players must be 18 years old to officially participate in events (via R6 Esports).
Spoit only turned 18 on April 11, 2022. After that, everything happened quickly: On June 2, he joined Rogue. The Major was his first event. However, even before his 18th birthday, Spoit was working towards a career as a professional.
On September 22, 2021, Spoit announced via Twitter that he had dropped out of school. He wanted to focus entirely on his career as a content creator and future projects. He received much support for this, as school seemed to be more of a distraction for him.
At that time, hardly anyone probably thought that Spoit would compete with the best in the world and emerge as a winner just 11 months later. Only one person might have guessed it: Juhani “Kantoraketti” Toivonen, Spoit’s current colleague at Rogue, commented on the announcement and wished Spoit that the decision would pay off for him just as it did for himself. (via Twitter)
The bold step of dropping out of school seems to be paying off.
For Spoit not only secured the title with his team, he was also named MVP of the entire event by the online magazine SiegeGG. His K/D is +25, meaning he managed to kill opponents 25 times more often than he was killed himself. In terms of entry kills, the first kill (or death) in a round, his ratio is +11.
Here you can see Spoit’s statistics at a glance:

We will surely hear much more from the “European wonder kid” in the future.
This is how Rogue celebrates: Even the day after the event, the team could hardly believe the victory and had to process it first. The team is celebrated on Twitter. And there is also a clear statement: In response to the question of whether they can also win the next and last Major title of the season, they simply reply: “Yes.” (via Twitter)
Strictly speaking, the World Championship in R6 is the Six Invitational, yet the best teams in the world competed at the Major. However, the reigning “Six Invitational” champions from TSM were not present at the Major, as they finished only in a disappointing 8th place in the regular season in North America (via liquipedia). Not without reason, Spoit already feels a bit like a World Champion (via Twitter).
Did you cheer for the Major? Do you think Spoit deserves the MVP title or do you believe players like Cyber or Deapek were robbed? Feel free to leave a comment with your impressions of the tournament.
If you now feel like diving back into Rainbow Six: Siege, now is the perfect time. Because after the community has wished for a certain feature for 7 years, their demands were finally heard this year.

Which Exotics are there? In total, Guardians receive six new Exotics to chase. Three of them are armor pieces, while the others are new Exotic weapons. The following are known:
We will now go into detail and show you a brief overview of what the new Exotics in the loot shooter can do.

Quecksilbersturm
The new all-round auto rifle
Where do you get the weapon? You can acquire this auto rifle only by pre-ordering the “Lightfall” DLC along with the annual pass. That would currently total 99.99 € in official stores. If you have pre-ordered it, you just need to go to Rahool, the Cryptarch in the Tower. He will then hand you your pre-order items.
What can the weapon do? The auto rifle has a full stability bar and optimal range. With a fire rate of 720, its fire resembles a silver hail of bullets. But now, its exotic talents come into play. While you hit enemies with your weapon, a rocket is generated from your mercury barrel using nanotechnology.
This seeks its target and deals a significant amount of damage on impact. If you are more accurate, you can generate several rockets with one magazine.
If that weren’t enough, you receive a grenade launcher round for each rocket fired, which you can fire separately alongside your magazine. You can store three rounds in your reserves, independent of your magazine.
Zartes Grab
A small piece of abstract art
Where do you get the weapon? You can obtain this extravagant fusion rifle in Season 18 either at level 1 of the paid path or at level 35 of the free season pass.
What can the weapon do? This is an Arc fusion rifle with optimal stats. However, its unique feature is its projectile spread. When you aim, you fire a vertical shot, while firing from the hip gives a horizontal shot. Additionally, the weapon has a chance to create ionic traces when killing smaller enemies. When hitting Guardians and bosses, you always receive an ionic trace.
If you collect these, your weapon will charge up and shock your enemies when you fire next. With a good Arc build, this weapon can certainly tear through many opponents at once.
Boshafte Berührung
Unfortunately only the ornament, but still a decent weapon
Where do you get the weapon? Little is known about Boshafte Berührung. In Destiny 1, it was tied to a time-consuming quest. We believe you will receive the exotic scout rifle from the Kingsfall raid if you successfully defeat Oryx, provided loot luck is on your side.
What can the weapon do? In Destiny 1, it was a sadistic weapon. When you reached the last bullet in your magazine, the magazine wouldn’t empty, but you could continue firing merrily. The problem, however, was that the weapon would also brutally drain your life while firing.
For this agony, you dealt double the damage. So it was a good deal, especially in combination with the immortal bubble in the Kingsfall raid. Additionally, this scout rifle could fire fully automatically. We’ll have to see if Boshafte remains just as vicious in Destiny 2.
Gefallener Sonnenstern
A crazy helmet with a cool hairstyle
Where do you get the helmet? You can obtain the helmet from legendary lost sectors where exotic helmets can be farmed.
What can the helmet do? The Gefallener Sonnenstern enhances your ionic traces. They move faster and grant you additional ability energy. Allies also receive ability energy while you collect your ionic traces.
Harnisch des Jagdfalken
A stylish and highly useful chest piece
Where do you get the chest piece? You can obtain the chest piece from legendary lost sectors where exotic chest pieces can be farmed.
What can the chest piece do? This chest piece provides Hunters with increased damage when they become invisible just before attacking. If you eliminate an enemy with a finisher while invisible, you and your allies gain a reserve overshield and increased class ability regeneration. You can use the reserve shield when you activate your class ability.
Punktkontakt-Kanonenstativ
The Titan’s electric demolition hammers
Where do you get the gauntlets? You can get the gauntlets from legendary lost sectors where exotic gauntlets can be farmed.
What can the gauntlets do? This Exotic really packs a punch. With Arc 3.0, the Titan received a new melee ability called “Thunderclap”. This can be charged and unleash a powerful electric punch upon your enemies. With this Exotic, you greatly enhance your Thunderclap move.
You regain melee energy when you eliminate someone with Thunderclap. Additionally, surrounding enemies receive electric strikes when you use your move. And when you are boosted with Arc, the reach of the generated electric strikes increases.
What do you think of the Exotics? Which one is your favorite and which one can’t you wait to play with? Let us know in the comments!

In League of Legends the finals of the German LoL league, Prime League Div 2, took place yesterday, on the 23rd of August. 5 German Twitch streamers succeeded with their team “No Need Orga” in a Miracle Run.
The midlaner NoWay played from gamescom in Cologne. It was a spectacle with 70,000 viewers at its peak and several wild stories around it: For instance, the team Googled for the right counterpick against Olaf in the decisive Match 5.
What a game it was! The “Prime League” is the regional league in Germany. Yesterday, the finals of the 2nd division took place: It was a “Best of Five” for the championship in the second league of Germany.
With a spot in the finals comes the opportunity to prove oneself in relegation matches against the last teams of the 1st league and to get promoted to the highest German league. However, to enter the professional league LEC, one must buy in – a sporting ascent is not possible there.
Who was in the finals? The first-placed team of the regular season, Hertha BSC, played against the sixth-placed team of the regular season, No Need Orga.
The team No Need Orga consists of some of the most successful German LoL streamers:
Finals of the 2nd league break Twitch record for Prime League
How many watched the game? The finals of the 2nd league had a peak of 69,881 viewers, a record for the Prime League overall. The league has been on Twitch since 2019 – never had their channel seen so many simultaneous viewers.
The semifinals of the 2nd league had reached 70,000 viewers on Twitch: But they had been spread across two channels. For the finals, JustJohnny didn’t stream due to gamescom, hence a large part of the viewers landed directly on the Prime League stream and they were able to achieve this phenomenal figure.
In comparison: The finals of the 1st league on the 20th of August had about 30,000 viewers on Twitch.

NoWay seemed quite satisfied with himself and the world last night.
“And then they google their champions in a fifth game – that’s so bad”
How is the final being discussed? What is special is the circumstances under which the championship came about. Because the 5 players from “No Need Orga” are different from how LoL teams usually present themselves.
The botlaner Broeki explains: In the decisive match 5, Hertha picked the champ Olaf on the top lane and the streamers were apparently clueless about what to play against him. So they simply researched “Olaf Counterpick” and discussed the Google suggestions:
My mind is blown! I don’t just pick randomly […] and then they google their champions in a fifth game. What the fuck – that’s so bad.
Botlaner Daniel ‘Broeki’ Broekmann
The botlaner is completely outraged by this approach:

Another adds: It helps that NoWay and Agurin have been among the most talented players on the local EUW server for years.
2nd league in Germany 2022 bigger than the first
Why is the 2nd league so exciting? There is a huge viewer boom brought by the Twitch streamers when they are active in e-sports. We have seen this for several years – for example, with shroud’s valorant excursion. 5 Twitch streamers in a LoL team provide a significant increase in attention, as the numbers show:
The finals in the 1st league were relatively clearly won by the “Unicorns of Love” against Schalke 04 with 3-1 on the 20th of August. But that did not reach the attention of the 2nd league finals.
But in the 2nd league, a team of the largest German Twitch streamers plays with “No Need Orga”. NoWay is particularly huge in the German LoL scene.
For the team, things actually didn’t look so good, as they only placed 6th with 9-9 in the regular season of the league. Therefore, they played immediately “in the lower bracket” in the playoffs. There, however, they pulled off a miracle run.
The German YouTuber HandofBlood founded his own team “Eintracht Spandau” that plays in the 1st Prime League

What is a Miracle Run in LoL? The playoffs in LoL are arranged such that teams that finish first in the regular season have it relatively easy to win in the playoffs:
The team Hertha BSC, who finished first in the season, only had to win “two series” to claim the title
NNO, who came in as sixth, had to win 4 series to become champions.
If a team with such a poor starting position manages to claim the title against all odds, it is referred to as a Miracle Run.
The streamers, however, seem to be somewhat conflicted about their success, as promotion to the 1st league is uncertain:

After yesterday’s preview into the futuristic future of Destiny 2, one piece of information especially caught the guardians’ attention. Bungie officially announced the end of the Content Vault and promised that Destiny would soon be “fully playable from start to finish.” MeinMMO tells you what this exactly means, why it is only happening now, and which contents are now free.
Destiny 2 is heading towards an impressive future. For this reason, all interested gamers were invited to the big showcase worldwide yesterday. And Bungie indeed had quite a lot to offer. Most notably, a mega preview for Lightfall, the DLC, which is set to be released in February 2023.
Lightfall takes place in the new destination “Neomuna”, a futuristic, neon-glowing city.
A new race comes into play, called “Cloudstriders”, somewhat similar to the guardians.
Players will learn the new ability “Strand” and perform a Spider-Man-style movement.
Calus, the new minion of Darkness, is back with his newly formed army.
There will also be so-called “Tormentors”. Powerful enemies who will operate similarly to the Lucent Brood from “The Witch Queen” – but with different, obviously torturous abilities.
Additionally, there will be an in-game LFG system and a commendation system for experienced guardians.
And the Witness will bring everything he has to bring down the Light.
Bungie has packed Lightfall with new, cool things that guardians can expect in 2023. However, one piece of information from the showcase was almost better for many players.
Here you can watch the hot Lightfall trailer again:
Start video
Destiny 2: Trailer for Lightfall shows new race – Guardians get cool lasso, swing like Spider-Man
If you missed the entire showcase, you can watch it again on Twitch and experience the most emotional moments for yourselves.
In the future, you can always play everything
Joe Blackburn, Bungie’s Game Director, and Justin Truman, Bungie’s General Manager, announced that they have been working behind the scenes on the engine and that no expansions of Destiny 2 will be locked away in the Content Vault anymore.
We have been working behind the scenes on the Destiny engine, preparing our technology and our game so that it will last for many, many years. Because Destiny 2 is not going anywhere, and neither are your expansions. We want this story, since we first communicated with the Darkness on the Moon, to be fully playable from start to finish. Therefore, we are excited to announce today that we do not plan to stop releasing further expansions.
The end of the Content Vault is sealed: Some players had actually expected that Bungie would soon transfer the expansion “Forsaken” into the Content Vault. However, this will not happen after this announcement. They want to preserve the narrative of Light and Darkness that began in the DLC on the moon.
However, it does not mean that the Red War or Curse of Osiris will return. This change takes effect only now and applies only to the current content.
The DLC “Forsaken” will never see the inside of the Content Vault.
Was the second least popular system for years: Since the Content Vault became active in June 2020 with Destiny 2, players have been frustrated with its all-consuming nature. It took away some of the best expansions of Destiny 2, so they could no longer play them, which felt even worse than weapon sunsetting.
The reddit of Destiny 2 has been regularly flooded with complaints about the Content Vault for the past 2 years.
That Bungie even has a Content Vault is rather unorthodox.
After all, other games manage without it.
Comparisons with World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy were made as a better example.
Bungie should make this content permanently accessible through the timeline or legacies.
Hardly anyone understood the system, and some players even parted ways with Destiny 2 and stopped playing altogether because of it.
Why was the Content Vault nevertheless important? The main reason the Content Vault existed in the first place and was necessary is that Bungie needed to develop Destiny 2 further.
This led to fundamental changes in Destiny 2 that will positively affect the game both technically and visually in the future. Old contents and expansions were removed from the game, and a number of engine overhauls were carried out.
The lighting engine and some effects were updated
Much of the old “spaghetti code” was likely disposed of.
Afterward, Bungie rebuilt many parts of Destiny 2.
Speculations say they simply did not have enough time to rebuild everything.
Thus, the Content Vault was a viable solution for the developer but a poor one for the players who loved their old content.
The City of the Cloudstriders awaits players in 2023 in Lightfall.
After the introduction, many things improved: For example, the speed with which Bungie could now bring updates into the game. Visually, one could also see how Destiny 2 changed. It was obvious that there was quite a bit of work done behind the scenes. Fire effects during mockery changed, and environments received sharper and better details.
Players were still not happy, even though the bare numbers probably showed that the old contents were hardly played anymore. It was rather the fact that as a player, you suddenly had something taken away that you once paid money for.
Bungie was already working on the Destiny universe back then: After players could now look into the future of Destiny 2, it is clear: Bungie was likely already working on this new vision for the Destiny universe back then.
Destiny 2 will grow and transform into a vast universe. No Destiny 3, but much more than that.
We want the Destiny universe to grow, and we will continue to do everything we can behind the scenes to enable this with our game engine.
Justin Truman added to the announcement
Apparently, Bungie has now reached the point where the Content Vault is no longer necessary. The paths for a massive game world in an even larger Destiny universe are obviously set. And there was a small gift with this announcement.
Play Destiny 2 for a week for free now
Destiny 2 is now playable for free on all platforms for a limited time!
As a bonus, Joe Blackburn announced that Destiny 2 is now also available on the Epic Game Store since yesterday. Additionally, all Destiny 2 expansions will be free to play on all platforms for the coming week.
This means interested players can play all expansions of Destiny 2 for free until August 30, 2022.
In addition to the latest “The Witch Queen” DLC, this also includes “Forsaken” and “Beyond Light”.
Moreover, Bungie has confirmed to MeinMMO that you can keep all exotics earned during the free period.
What the Destiny 2 community is currently discussing:
If you are interested in Destiny 2, you now have the opportunity to get started. Perhaps a small recompense for the fans of the loot shooter disappointed by the Content Vault.
However, once the trial period ends, players will need to purchase the expansions to continue playing the content.
What do you think about Destiny 2 now abolishing the unpopular Content Vault? Can you now understand why it was necessary? Or are you annoyed that you couldn’t play the old content for 2 years just because Bungie had to rebuild? Let us know in the comments.
And at the end of this week, there will be even more free stuff when Bungie makes the most legendary raid of all time from Destiny 2 accessible to players:
In Pokémon GO most trainers primarily want one thing: to catch as many Pokémon as possible. However, the catching feature is currently being criticized in the reddit community. We at MeinMMO have looked into what it is all about and will show you.
Which feature is being discussed? The perhaps most important aspect of Pokémon GO is catching Pokémon. Especially when on the go, you can encounter numerous monsters that you certainly do not want to let escape.
With the new adventure incense, which brings you special spawns for 15 minutes daily while moving, Niantic is providing an additional incentive to go outside and hunt for Pokémon.
However, the catching feature is providing a lot of discussion material in the reddit community right now. The reason for this is the speed of catching. We will show you what it is all about.
Criticism of the Catching System – “Catching Pokémon takes too long”
What is the reason for the criticism? Like many others, reddit user Steampunk-Blooper is trying to catch as many monsters in Pokémon GO and snag shiny specimens. However, as he explains in his reddit post, he is not particularly happy with the speed of catching (via reddit.com).
The main reason for this is the numerous animations that Niantic has built into the catching mode. According to Steampunk-Blooper’s calculations, a normal catch, where the monster stays in the ball with the first throw, takes a total of 20 seconds, from the encounter to returning to the map.
To the reddit user, this clearly takes too long. In his opinion, the numerous animations, such as a wobbly ball or the displayed texts, could be omitted to drastically reduce the time.
Ultimately, it doesn’t just stop at the measured 20 seconds. Once a Pokémon dodges the ball or jumps out again, the catching process takes several seconds longer. There are also times when you select and feed a berry or choose a different ball.
Why is speed so important? The fact that the catching process is artificially prolonged by numerous animations can be especially frustrating when you have just lit an adventure incense.
With this, exclusive Pokémon appear approximately every 30 seconds, as long as you are moving. With a bit of luck, you might even encounter the rare but strong legendary Galar birds. However, due to a too-long catching process with the previous monster, it can happen that you miss the next Pokémon.
And even just standing still to catch is not a good option, as it also affects your spawns. While you won’t see another monster for the moment, you will receive fewer Pokémon overall during that time.
But even when many monsters are spawning in one location or you’re using a normal incense, the long waiting times can become annoying. Especially when you have to pause in places to click and catch all the monsters.
“The Ball Animation is Literally a Waste of Time”
What do other trainers say? As can be seen from the comments under the reddit post, Steampunk-Blooper is not alone in this view. Other trainers also find the animations in the catching screen, as well as in other parts of the game, simply unnecessary and wish for corresponding changes.
For some, the time spent and the use of various items to catch a monster does not correspond to what you ultimately receive. Often the caught Pokémon are not as strong as one would have hoped based on the difficulty of the catch. So you can read the following on reddit:
housevil: “The funny part is that it is immediately determined whether something was caught or not. The wobbly ball animation is literally a waste of time.”
SamR1301: “A lot of things in POGO are unnecessary fluff. Opening gifts, deleting items, checking stats, sending gifts, giving your buddy hearts…”
Numerous-Employment1: “What really gets to me is when I have to hit some random (non-Raid) monsters with several excellent Curveballs, only to get one with 1/1/1 IV.”
elgiesmelgie: “A Gyarados cost me 30 Ultra Balls, 2 golden Razz Berries, and mostly good throws. It was a 1 star. Out of anger, I named it ‘jerkface’.”
You should keep this in mind when using adventure incense: Since the long time to catch particularly affects your success with adventure incense, you should, as soon as you activate it, preferably only catch monsters that come from this incense.
The reddit user ThePostManEST, however, does not want to miss his chance to catch a special Galar bird and even takes it a step further (via reddit.com): “Honestly, when I use the daily incense, I don’t bother trying to catch anything that isn’t rare. The chance of missing a legendary Galar bird if it spawns is too low.”
What can be done against slow catching?
The Quick Catch Trick: To avoid the long waiting times caused by animations after the catch, some trainers recommend the so-called “Quick Catch Trick” in the comments. This trick has been around in the game for some time and allows you to leave the catching screen right after throwing at the respective Pokémon.
This way, you save yourself from the annoying animation. If you hit the monster with your ball and it stays in, it will automatically be credited to your Poké Bag. If the monster breaks free but does not flee, it will still appear on the map. You can then simply click it again and attempt another catch.
How the Quick Catch Trick works exactly and how left-handed players can use it optimally will be explained in our follow-up article:
Criticism of the Quick Catch Trick: However, for Steampunk-Blooper, the Quick Catch Trick is not the solution to this problem. He makes it clear in his post that while he knows the trick, there should be official ways to speed up catching. He writes:
I now know what quick catching is, and while it is definitely helpful to speed up gameplay, it should not be seen as a permanent solution. It is not a feature, regardless of how long it has been in the game, and the ability to exploit a glitch does not mean that the catching system cannot be improved in real, intended ways. If anything, the fact that people are relying on it only underscores how problematic the long catching times are.
Whether Niantic will address this issue and create solutions to speed up catching remains to be seen. However, other areas are also affected by annoying animations, such as opening gifts or hatching eggs. Pokémon GO has already made strides in this regard, which is why you can now open eggs faster.
What do you think about the speed of catching? Do you also have the problem of other monsters getting away because the animations took too long beforehand? And do you use the Quick Catch Trick? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss it with other trainers.
The Battlegrounds mode in Hearthstone is becoming Pay2Win and there is a new currency – fans are once again up in arms.
Basically, it was something that many Hearthstone fans had feared for a long time, but now it is finally coming true. Blizzard is overhauling the game’s monetization and is also targeting the popular game mode ‘Battlegrounds’. And it gets even tougher – there is simultaneously a new premium currency meant to replace real money purchases.
What is the Battlegrounds mode? The Battlegrounds mode is Hearthstone’s ‘auto-battler’ and has become the most popular mode among many fans in recent years. Here, you choose from a number of heroes at the beginning, buy minions, and let them battle semi-automatically against the minions of 7 other players.
What changes is Blizzard making? The Battlegrounds mode is being expanded and will have its own reward track with standalone rewards. Here, there are both free rewards on the ‘normal’ path and many affordable rewards on the premium path.
There will be dedicated quests for the Battlegrounds mode and numerous new rewards, such as emotes, hero skins, and finisher animations.
A new reward track – exclusively for the Battlegrounds mode.
What annoys the fans? The catch is that the additional choice of 4 instead of 2 heroes can only be purchased with real money or the new real money currency. Previously, it was possible to increase the selection solely by using earned gold. That will no longer be possible. So, anyone who wants the maximum selection of heroes will have to reach into their pockets.
Those who do not spend money will only have the choice of 2 heroes at the start; those who throw cash at the problem can choose from up to 4 heroes – a pretty big advantage, especially since the heroes in the Battlegrounds mode are currently rather poorly balanced and there are drastic differences in win rates.
For many, it is clear: More choice increases the chances of winning, and if more choice can only be obtained through real money, then it is pay-to-win.
Blizzard has a clear reason for the change and explains in response to the question of why players now have to pay real money for bonuses:
We want the Battlegrounds mode to be played for many years to come and remain popular among players. This change allows us to continue supporting the growing Battlegrounds community and create content for them.
Or in other words: They are currently not making enough money from the Battlegrounds mode to be able to support it long-term.
More about Hearthstone and Blizzard can be found here:
The second major change is the introduction of a new premium currency called ‘Runestones’. During the transition phase, purchases with both real money and runestones will be possible, but later most purchases will be handled via runestones.
In some special cases, such as the pre-order of a new expansion, the purchase of the Tavern Pass, or direct purchases of packs, the purchase will still be possible directly with real money.
In the community, the announcement is leading to many memes:

The biggest criticism is that Blizzard is obscuring the actual costs of purchases. Because if purchases are no longer quantified by a direct euro price but instead a ‘fantasy currency’ like runestones is placed in between, then the actual price of a purchase is often lost. When one has to convert how much a runestone is actually worth in euros or cents, the real price is obscured.
Blizzard promises that they will sell runestones in quantities that correspond to the most important product sizes, but that seems to hardly convince fans.
Especially flimsy is Blizzard’s argument that they can “thanks to runestones […] also offer smaller items, such as the individual Battlegrounds hero skins, that are coming to the shop with this patch.”
Here, Hearthstone critics note that these skins could also have simply been offered for a small cent amount in the shop instead of introducing a new premium currency.
Runestones will be available exclusively for money. They cannot be earned in the game.
When is the patch coming? Update 24.2 with the runestones and Battlegrounds season 2 including the reward track and the supposed pay-to-win starts on August 30.
What do you think of these changes? Good and reasonable? Or just a money grab?

Sony unveiled a new controller for the PS5 at gamescom 2022. It features enormous customization and also solves an annoying problem of the PlayStation controllers. MeinMMO presents the controller.
The first reactions are enthusiastic, as many users have been waiting for such a controller. MeinMMO presents the controller and the first impressions.
All games and impressions from gamescom 2022 can be found in the following article:
The DualSense Edge aims to offer the freedoms that PS4 and PS5 controllers could not provide
What kind of controller is this? Sony introduced the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller at gamescom 2022. This is a new controller for the PS5. The special thing about this controller is that you can fully customize it – a wish that many users have long expressed for the PlayStation. Until now, you always had to buy third-party controllers if you wanted to customize your controller more.
If you want to take a look at the DualSense Edge Wireless, we will link the presentation of the new controller here:

PS5 presents its own pro controller in the trailer
What features does the controller have? Sony explained in an official blog post that you can customize the controller entirely to your needs:
You can customize and remap every element, from the thumbstick to the buttons to the triggers.
You can also save your button mappings for each game and create profiles, if you want to play different genres.
The DualSense Edge also offers its own interface where you can directly adjust the setup of the controller. Therefore, you do not need to leave the game.
Another feature is the interchangeable stick caps and back buttons.
The stick modules are also interchangeable. So if you experience drift issues, you can simply replace the parts.
Otherwise, not much changes with the controller itself: The DualSense Edge Wireless Controller continues to offer the same features as the DualSense Wireless Controller in supported games, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone, and motion control.
The first images of the new DualSense Edge Wireless Controller.
What are the user reactions? Under the official YouTube video, viewers express their enthusiasm. Many have apparently been waiting for such a controller. Some comments include:
“I’ve been waiting for such a controller since the PS4.”
“The best controller in gaming is getting even better.”
“I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time.”
Another user explains below the video what many users are especially excited about:
The ability to swap out the stick modules is really something special. It means if your sticks start to drift and they are no longer playable, you can simply replace the whole module and it works like new again!
How great the interest in a pro controller is, another manufacturer already showed. They had introduced a pro controller for the PS5, but the device was already sold out after a short time.
DualSense Edge Wireless Controller: Release and Price Unknown
When will the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller be released? Sony has not announced a release date for the new PS5 controller. However, we suspect that Sony will release the controller for the upcoming Christmas season (November/early December 2022).
However, we cannot tell you how good the availability will be and if everyone interested can buy a controller.
What will the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller cost? Sony has not yet mentioned a price for the new Edge controller. However, the price will likely be significantly higher than the regular DualSense. For the Xbox Elite Controller, one pays about 150 Euros.
What do you think? Do you like the presentation of the new controller for the PS5? Will you buy the controller or do you prefer to look for an alternative? Tell us in the comments!
If you haven’t purchased any other controllers for your PS5 yet, keep the following tip in mind if you want to spend money:
Lost Ark may not have a true tank function, but there is still a tank. The Gun Lancer is indestructible and provides protection for his party members under his shield. MeinMMO author Anny Bader has taken a closer look and explains what it’s all about.
The Gun Lancer, in English Gun Lancer, is a subclass of the warrior. He is not particularly fast, but he doesn’t need to be. With his strong defense, he withstands most attacks that other classes have to dodge. As a Gun Lancer, you can continue to deal DPS in such situations.
In Lost Ark, there is no Holy Trinity; groups are not classified as DD, Support, and Tank as in other games. Therefore, you cannot play the Gun Lancer as a true tank. However, you can absorb a lot of damage and protect your party members, while a taunt skill can make the opponent’s attacks ineffective.
His abilities are divided into red and blue. The red ones are attacks with his Gun Lance, while the blue ones consist of regular attacks with the shield, buffs, and debuffs.
On the MeinMMO Tier List, the Gun Lancer is in the A-tier for PvE. In PvP, he starts in the B-tier and moves up to the A-area with a higher PvP rank. He is therefore well-suited for both PvE and PvP.
Pros
Strong defense
Popular in groups
Cons
Very slow
Dodges backward as the only class
The Gun Lancer in Action
This is the special abilityof the Gun Lancer: In combat, his identity gauge in the lower middle of the screen charges up. You can use this energy in two different ways.
If you press Y, you receive a strong shield. You cannot be knocked back, take almost no damage, but you are 50% slower.
If you press X, your entire party within a certain radius receives a shield that redirects their damage to you. Your defense is also improved. This also deals damage to the opponent.
All abilities of the Gun Lancer
Normal Attacks (blue)
Guardian’s Lightning Strike: A bolt from the sky that inflicts electrical damage on the opponent for 3 seconds.
Chain Hook: Pull enemies towards you and deal damage.
Nellasia’s Energy: All party members within a radius of 24 meters take 10% less damage.
Call of Hatred: Taunt that makes attacks from nearby enemies ineffective.
Shield Charge: Charge forward with your shield.
Shield Bash: Hit with the shield. Usable twice.
Shield Shock: Strike the opponent with the shield and reduce their movement speed by 40% for 4 seconds.
Smash: Stuns opponents for 3 seconds. Counter-attack.
Jump Attack: Jump 9 meters towards the target area and strike the ground.

Rushing High Shot: Strike at enemies while moving forward. Press again to fire a grenade. Counter-attack.
The Gun Lancer in the Leveling Process
When distributing points, it’s important that you never raise skill levels above 10. Skill Level 4 is needed for the first tripod, Skill Level 7 for the second, and Skill Level 10 for the third.
Level 12: First, distribute 4 points each to Fireball and Sharp Rifle Lance.
Up to Level 21: 48 points to Guardian’s Lightning Strike for AoE damage.
Up to Level 25: 20 points to Call of Hatred.
Up to Level 35: 48 points to Charged Spike.
Up to Level 42: Now allocate additional points to Sharp Rifle Lance, for a total of 48.
Up to Level 47: A total of 48 points to Fireball.
Up to Level 50: Finally, allocate your points to Jump Attack.
The Best Builds in Endgame
In endgame, you choose, as with most other classes, between two class engravings. You decide between the red and the blue abilities.
Class Engraving A: Solo Knight
What does the engraving do? As a Solo Knight, you focus on the red abilities you perform with the Gun Lance. You deal a lot of stagger and burst damage. Additionally, at level 1, your crit chance increases by 5% and your crit damage by 30%.
Positioning in combat is important. Most of your red attacks deal more damage from the front, so you should perform as many frontal attacks as possible.
The blue abilities remain available to you, but you can no longer use the battlefield shield of your identity ability that you could previously activate with X. So, there is no longer a shield for the entire group. When you use the shield with Y, your energy will be consumed twice as fast as before.
Ultimately, the Solo Knight deals more damage due to crit and the focus on red skills, but also takes more damage. Nevertheless, he remains robust and can withstand more than most other classes, though he can compete as a DPS class.
For stats, you focus on crit and swiftness, with crit being more important.
Which engravings should I use? In addition to the class engraving, you should rely on Supercharge, as the Gun Lancer has very long cooldowns. Master Blaster is also worthwhile, as it allows you to deal even more damage with frontal attacks.
If you want even more crit in your build, focus on Adrenaline and later, when your crit is very high, on Reckless Sharp Weapon.
Which collectible cards are important? As with almost all damage dealers in Lost Ark, you initially focus on the Howling Rock set to increase your crit rate. It consists of Armel, Seria, Solas, King Thirain, Kharmine, and Delain Armel.
The optimal set is the Light of Redemption set, which, however, consists of rare cards. Thus, it will be costly later, but it is worth it. The set consists of Shandi, Azena, Innana, Nineveh, Wei, Balthorr, and Thirain. With a 6-piece set and a 30 piece awakening, the cards will give you 8% more holy damage and convert all your damage into holy damage.

Then follow Cannon Burst, Rushing High Shot, Fireball, and Charged Spike.
After 10 seconds, Smash will be ready again, and your rotation can start over.
Class Engraving B: Readiness for Battle
What does the engraving do? With the class engraving Readiness for Battle, you focus on the blue skills of the Gun Lancer and have the strongest defense of all classes in Lost Ark.
Your normal abilities deal 20% more damage and your shield in defense posture lasts 30% longer. If you are hit in defense posture, you deal 4% more damage for 10 seconds.
This build is perfect for countering boss attacks, which becomes increasingly important in endgame. You can read how this works in our guide.
For stats, focus on specialization and crit, with specialization being more important to quickly recharge and use your shield.
Which engravings should I use? Additionally, you select the combat engraving Barricade. This causes your enemies to take more damage when your shield is active. So practically all the time.
Stabilized Damage is also worthwhile. This allows you to deal more damage when your TP is above 80%.
Afterward, you can choose between Master of Strikes, Adrenaline, Spirit Absorption, and Awakening.
Which collectible cards are important?
The collectible cards are similar to the other class engraving. To further increase your crit rate, you should initially focus on the Howling Rock card set. It consists of Armel, Seria, Solas, King Thirain, Kharmine, and Delain Armel.
The optimal set here is also the Light of Redemption set, which consists of rare cards. Thus, it will be costly later, but it is worth it. Which abilities should I use?

What do you think about the Gun Lancer? Do you see him as a tank or rather as an indestructible damage dealer? Did you choose the Solo Knight or did you pick Readiness for Battle as your class engraving? Feel free to share your thoughts with us in the comments here on MeinMMO!
If you want to carry a large firearm in Lost Ark and enjoy powerful AoE attacks, the Artillerist is the right class for you. MeinMMO author Anny Bader has looked into it and explains what matters.
The Artillerist is one of four subclasses of the Gunner. While he moves slowly, he deals a lot of burst damage by firing huge projectiles or launching enemies into the air with grenades.
As an Artillerist, you protect yourself with two different shields, allowing you to take a lot of damage. Additionally, you can take a seat in a turret to avoid getting knocked over and become even more resilient.
One problem with the Artillerist is that the damage from two powerful attacks is delayed. You fire them, and the enemy is only hit a few seconds later, meaning they could have moved in that time. Therefore, it is beneficial for an Artillerist to understand the mechanics of bosses well.
In the Tier List by MeinMMO, the Artillerist ranks in the A-area for both PvE and Low Rank PvP. He is well-suited for PvE and Low Rank PvP; however, in High Rank PvP, he is less useful and falls into the C-Tier.
Pro
High defense
AoE attacks
Contra
Slow
Delayed damage

How the Artillerist plays
This is the special ability of the Artillerist: In your identity display at the bottom center of the screen, you gather energy during combat. It is divided into three stages. When the firepower gauge is full, you can place your Artillerist in a turret and enter the barrage mode.
This gives you access to four additional attacks: a laser, a bomb, a shield, and a machine gun. Additionally, you cannot move while in the turret, but you also cannot be knocked over or pushed back.
All abilities of the Artillerist
Energy Field: Generate a shield that absorbs up to 15% of your HP for 4 seconds.
Flamethrower: Hold to deal fire damage for 4 seconds.
Frost Cartridge: Bullet that slows enemies by 60% for 4 seconds.
Gatling Gun: Spin towards the cursor while firing a machine gun.
Summon Turret: Call in a turret that attacks enemies for 10 seconds.
Gravitational Explosion: Create a field that pulls enemies in and then explodes, knocking them back and dealing damage.
Howitzer: Explosive cannon that launches enemies into the air.
Air Strike: Fire into the air. The projectiles hit random enemies.
Multi-Rocket Launcher: Fire 5 rockets in random directions.
Napalm Shot: Grenade that explodes and launches enemies into the air. The ground where it landed will burn afterwards.
Plasma Storm: Create a field that moves towards enemies and deals damage for 5 seconds.
Rocket Bombardment: Mark a spot on the ground. After 4 seconds, a rocket arrives and destroys everything in an 8-meter radius.
Shotgun: Shoot with a shotgun.
Swing: Swing your launcher and stun enemies.
Jump Bombardment: Jump high and bombard enemies below you.
Enhanced Cartridge: Fire a large bullet.
Forward Barrage: Fire a quick cannon.
The Artillerist in the Leveling Process
When distributing points, it is important that you never need to raise the skill levels above 10. Skill Level 4 is required for the first tripod, Skill Level 7 for the second, and Skill Level 10 for the third.
Level 11: First, put 4 points into Enhanced Cartridge to apply a debuff on the enemy through the tripod Armor Destruction.
Up to Level 15: 20 points into Gatling Gun.
Up to Level 19: 20 points into Flamethrower.
Up to Level 25: For maximum AoE damage, now put 4 points into Napalm Shot, 20 into Air Strike, and another 4 into Multi-Rocket Launcher.
Up to Level 30: Now max out Air Strike.
Level 34: Now maximize Multi-Rocket Launcher. Take the points from Enhanced Cartridge and Napalm Shot for this. Additionally, put 4 points into Summon Turret.
Up to Level 41: 20 points into Gravitational Explosion and 48 points into Rocket Bombardment.
Up to Level 50: Finally, maximize Gravitational Explosion and Flamethrower.
If you ever misallocate points, it’s good to know that you can reset your skill points anytime and for free. Thus, the MMORPG does not put pressure on you, and you can experiment and play as you personally prefer.

The Best Builds in Endgame
In endgame, you choose, like with most other classes, between two class engravings. Experienced players usually opt for the engraving Firepower Enhancement and advise against Enhanced Barrage. However, there are options for both variants of the Artillerist on how you can play the class. We present them to you.
Class Engraving A: Firepower Enhancement
What does the engraving do? With the class engraving, you focus on the firepower gauge. With each level of the gauge, your crit rate increases. At level 1 of the class engraving, you start with a 15% higher crit probability and can increase this by 5% with each level of the identity gauge. Then you have 25% more crit.
Additionally, you take 20% less damage. However, this number remains constant, regardless of how high you raise the class engraving and the identity gauge.
Which engravings should I use? Since your attacks do not have a bonus as frontal or back attacks, you can use the combat engraving Master of Strikes. This increases your attack damage when you do not attack from the front or back.
To further increase your crit, you can use Adrenaline and later Reckless Blunt Weapon. The latter only, when your crit rate is already over 70%.
Barrier is also worthwhile as an Artillerist. The engraving increases your damage when shielded.
Which collectible cards are important? To further increase your crit rate, you should initially focus on the card set Howling Rocks. It consists of Armel, Seria, Solas, King Thirain, Kharmine, and Delain Armel.
The optimal set is Light of Redemption, but it consists of rare cards. Thus, it becomes expensive later on; however, it’s worth it. The set consists of Shandi, Azena, and Innana, Nineveh, Wei, Balthorr, and Thirain. With a 6-piece set that has 30-part awakening, the cards grant you 8% more Holy Damage and convert all your damage to holy damage.

As an awakening, you use Rocket Salvo. This is essentially your ultimate.
What does the rotation look like?
First, use Energy Field to be protected during your rotation.
The most damage you deal now comes from Rocket Bombardment and Air Strike.
Next, use Napalm Shot, Multi-Rocket Launcher, Flamethrower, and Forward Barrage as fillers.
Once your firepower gauge is filled, you enter barrage mode and use Invincibility and Energy Cannon.
Now, your cooldowns should have expired, and the rotation can begin again.
Class Engraving B: Enhanced Barrage
What does the engraving do? Enhanced Barrage buffs your identity. Once you enter the turret, you deal more damage.
The engraving is slightly weaker than Firepower Enhancement and is much more stat and gear-dependent. Currently, there are hardly any players who use this class engraving.
If someone does, they typically use the following skills:
Summon Turret
Enhanced Shell
Forward Barrage
Flamethrower
Gravity Explosion
Enhanced Shell
Homing Barrage
Air Raid
Forward Barrage
Which engravings should I use? In addition to your class engraving, the combat engraving All-Out Attack is worthwhile. Furthermore, Reckless Blunt Weapon, Adrenaline, and Hit Master are advantageous. Generally, you should play the class engraving with as much crit as possible.
Which collectible cards are important? The collectible cards do not differ from Class Engraving A. Here as well, you use the set Light of Redemption, as the collection increases your crit, which is very important with Enhanced Barrage. The collectible card set consists of Armel, Seria, Solas, King Thirain, Kharmine, and Delain Armel.
Optimal is also the set Light of Redemption, which unfortunately consists of rare cards. Thus, it becomes quite expensive later, but it’s worth it. The set consists of Shandi, Azena, and Innana, Nineveh, Wei, Balthorr, and Thirain. With a 6-piece set that has 30-part awakening, the cards grant you 8% more Holy Damage and convert all your damage to holy damage.
What does the rotation look like? In combat, you initially use your normal attacks to fill the identity gauge. Once the firepower gauge is full, you finally use the corresponding attacks in the following order:
Bombardment: Howitzer
Bombardment: Energy Cannon
Barrage: Focus Fire
Bombardment: Howitzer
Afterwards, you can exit the mode and use normal skills again to fill the gauge once more. Your rotation then starts from the beginning.

A short special research that all trainers receive
In Diablo 3 the start of Season 27 is just around the corner. But which class should you play? Vote in our poll, consult the Wheel of Fate, and see which bonuses are coming for which classes.
What’s happening in Diablo 3? This week, Season 27 starts with a new season theme. The start is on August 26. Many players are now wondering which class they will begin the new chapter with.
In our article, we have a poll for you where you can vote for a class. If you’re unsure, you might benefit from the explanation of the season theme. Various class abilities will be enhanced in S27. Perhaps your favorite set is included. If you want to let “fate” decide, just spin the Wheel of Fate below and let it choose a class for you.
This is changing for the classes in Season 27
This is the theme: In S27, you can transform legendary items into Holy items. The Holy items grant each class one of three random powers. These correspond to various sets and bonuses that you can activate with the classes.
Vote here: Each of you has one vote that you can allocate to one of the seven classes from Diablo 3. If you plan to play multiple classes in Season 27, simply give your vote to the option you are most looking forward to.
Diese Umfrage ist geschlossen.
The Wheel of Fate helps with class selection
You can use this: If you don’t mind which class you play in Season 27, you can let fate decide. “Fate” in this case means that a digital wheel of fortune spins and randomly stops on one of the seven class names.
Those who are torn between two or more classes can use the wheel as a decision-making aid. Click the wheel to make it spin and bring you a result.
