After a long wait, you can now unlock the Prowler in Fortnite. We will show you the tasks related to the Spider-Man villain here.
Who is Prowler? “Prowler” is a villain from the Spider-Man universe. He appeared, among other things, in the movie “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” as one of the antagonists of Miles Morales. He also plays an important role in the game “Spider-Man: Miles Morales.”
Now you can get him as a playable skin in Fortnite. However, you need to complete a series of quests that you get with the Battle Pass.
What you need to do is shown here.
All Tasks for Prowler in Fortnite
In addition to the Prowler skin, you can unlock other matching cosmetics
Outfit “Prowler”: Complete 3 Prowler quests
Simply complete 3 arbitrary Prowler tasks, and you’ll have the skin.
Emote: “Scratch and Hit”: Complete 7 Prowler quests
Just like the outfit – you only need to complete all the quests for it.
Spray “Prowler’s Trademark”: Use a spray at The Daily Bugle
Banner Icon: Collect 3 different types of weapons that are at least epic during a match.
Glider “Sky Prowler”: Search 7 chests in a match before taking damage
You should try to land in a location as remote as possible, far away from the Battle Bus route. This way, you have the opportunity to collect many chests without being attacked beforehand. You can find good landing spots here.
Some of the highlights from the Prowler tasks
Harvesting Tool “Energy Pickaxe”: Deal damage to opponents while crouching or sliding (500)
Here, the “crouched” variant is particularly good, for example, by hiding in tall grass and taking out opponents from a distance.
Wrap “Prowler Style”: Get headshots on opponents with an infrared weapon (3)
You don’t have to do this within a single match. However, modes like “Team Rumble” work well for this, where opponents tend to run around more openly than in solo Battle Royale. The infrared assault rifle belongs to the best weapons of the current Fortnite season.
Loading Screen “Prowler on the Hunt”: Collect Bars (300)
Emoticon “Prowler’s Claw”: Modify a vehicle and then drive it for 500 meters within a match.
Here, for example, look at a gas station. You will quickly find tires to modify and suitable vehicles.
Generally, the tasks are not difficult to solve, and you should be able to complete them in a short time – especially if you use modes like Team Rumble.
Blizzard has announced the next expansion for World of Warcraft – it will be Dragonflight. We reveal what is included in the new addon.
The latest expansion for WoW has finally been revealed. Some of the leaks have been confirmed, others have not. But at least the name is correct:
Dragonflight
The 9th expansion of WoW revolves around the Dragon Isles and thus takes place on Azeroth again. Included are a new race and even a new class with quite interesting cosmetic customizations.
Start video
WoW: Here is the spectacular cinematic for the new expansion Dragonflight
New Areas: The Dragon Isles
The story of “Dragonflight” will take place on the Dragon Isles. Here, players not only level up to level 70 but also explore 4 completely new areas:
The Waking Shores
The Plains of Ohn’ahra
The Azure Span
Thaldraszus
There will be a lot to explore, especially “ancient wonders” and secrets of the Dragon Isles. After all, this is one of the oldest areas of Azeroth and gives developers plenty of room to create new stories and legends.
Alexstrasza – a key role in Dragonflight.
New Class: Dracthyr Evoker
A highlight of Dragonflight will likely be the new class, the so-called “Evokers”. They are bound to a single race – the Dracthyr! This is a new species that you can play with Dragonflight.
Similar to Demon Hunters, Dracthyr Evokers have only two specializations. They are:
Damage Dealer (Devastation): With various devastating breath attacks, claws, and fangs, Dracthyr descend upon their enemies – especially from a distance, as Devastation Evokers are a ranged specialization.
Healer (Preservation): As healers, the dragons support their allies and empower them in battle.
Dracthyr wear mail armor.
Especially cool: Dracthyr Evokers have extremely extensive cosmetic customizations. They have, similar to Worgen, a humanoid form in which they interact with the mortal races. Additionally, they have a dragon form that they adopt in battle.
Both forms can be freely customized. The humanoid form resembles a mix between humans and blood elves, along with numerous draconic features – scales, horns, and so on.
From a story perspective, the Dracthyr have just awakened. They experience the world almost from the perspective of newborns, being attentive and curious. Dracthyr Evokers start at level 58 and have a special quest line that introduces them to the game world, at the end of which they must choose to join the Horde or the Alliance – very similar to Pandaren.
Revamp of the Talent and Professions System
A rather unexpected yet welcome announcement is a major overhaul of the talent system. It is said to be the “most comprehensive update to the talent and profession systems in World of Warcraft since the game’s release”.
While not all details are known yet, the talent system will be redesigned so that there is a talent point at each level, so players will have to make a decision with every level-up. At the same time, the developers want to avoid making talents boring and nearly without impact, as was the case with the classic talent system.
Whether this balancing act will succeed will likely only be shown in the beta – but at least the ambition sounds good.
Yes, the ancestors of the Murlocs are back as well.
Regarding professions, Dragonflight also promises significant innovations. There are talks of “entirely new features,” new tools, and even profession gear as well as an entirely new specialization system. It seems that crafters can adopt a specialization and regain some reputation on their realm as a result. Exactly how that will look is not entirely clear yet.
New Feature: Dragon Riding
An expansion called “Dragonflight” naturally cannot be without flying dragons. This “Dragon Riding” will be a new feature that will initially likely replace flying in the new areas.
Every character can receive a dragon of the Dragon Isles and fly with it. You will be able to increasingly customize your dragons throughout the expansion – new appearance options will be the focus here.
It is also important that your dragons learn new abilities over time. Then they can fly faster and further.
It seems that Dragon Riding will temporarily replace flight mounts – at least initially. Players would then explore the areas with their dragons and could only fly briefly. This looks like a good compromise for exploring the world for the first time.
Aside from the major features, many other small details are packed into Dragonflight. The developers have announced a comprehensive overhaul of the interface – thus, the 17-year-old WoW interface has become outdated. Most players have already replaced it with add-ons anyway, but soon the standard will also be significantly improved. All elements are supposed to be customizable by default and offer many options. The developers have in mind “contemporary displays” – thus, they are orienting themselves to what add-ons already allow.
The first screenshots also reveal that many creatures will receive a significant visual overhaul. Centaurs, Tuskarr, and nearly all dragons seem to be getting a visual refresh as well.
Can you sign up for the beta?
Yes! The beta registration is now available on the Blizzard website. There is still no start date for the beta or even a release date.
Are you excited about Dragonflight? What is your first impression?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
As part of the reveal of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, the next expansion for WoW Classic was also announced. We at MeinMMO will reveal what is known so far.
When will WOTLK Classic be released?
There is no official release date yet, but the new expansion is expected to be released in 2022.
What is included in the expansion?
You can discover the areas of Northrend, level your character to 80, play the Death Knight class, and of course visit dungeons and raids. The highlight will be the battle against Arthas.
In the Classic version, all content of the popular expansion will be included, with two exceptions: In PvP, there will now be individual ratings for arenas, and the dungeon finder will be completely removed.
How can I play WOTLK Classic?
You only need a subscription for WoW. This also includes WoW Classic, WoW Burning Crusade Classic, and the current WoW except for the latest expansion.
Is there a character boost again?
Yes, just like with Burning Crusade Classic, there will be a boost for real money. This will catapult a character directly to level 70.

Why was a dungeon finder rejected? The dungeon finder is probably the most controversial change that Wrath of the Lich King brought at the time. Some even see it as the biggest mistake of WoW.
But in 2022, this will not be repeated with WOTLK Classic. The remake will do without such a tool. In the announcement stream, it was said in essence: The dungeon finder does not fit the Classic community, and those who want to use it can play the current WoW: Shadowlands.
What do you think about the changes to WOTLK Classic? Are you glad that they removed the dungeon finder? Or does the feature belong to this expansion for you?

The loot shooter Outriders originally didn’t plan to release any DLCs, but then changed its mind and is now facing the announcement of the first major story expansion “Worldslayer.” MeinMMO shows you the two previous teasers and what is already officially known about the DLC.
On April 21 at 6 PM, fans of the loot shooter Outriders can look forward to new information about the paid story expansion Worldslayer.
The developers have released a new teaser, revealing the release date of the expansion and giving a brief insight into the atmosphere. We’ll embed the teaser for you here:
Start video
Outriders Worldslayer Teaser
When will Worldslayer be released? The release date is not officially known yet. It has only been stated that it will come this year.
The new broadcast on April 21 is likely to reveal the date.
What does the DLC look like? There are currently no details about that either. It is expected that the expansion will address issues with loot and endgame content, similar to the major update New Horizons at that time.
Additionally, this is a story DLC, so the story of the Outriders on Enoch will likely continue.
There was also a mini-teaser in November 2020 about the story behind the new expansion. We link you the teaser on YouTube here. The corresponding part starts at 01:04 minutes.
The initial success led the makers of Outriders to develop further content and unleash Worldslayer on the fans.
We would like to know if you will jump back into the game or if you are looking forward to the expansion. Feel free to leave us a comment with your thoughts on the topic.

In Guild Wars 2, the first major update since the new expansion End of Dragons is being released today, April 19. This includes the first Challenge Modes for the Assault Missions and the first episodes of Season 1 of the Living World. And it is exactly these episodes that players have been waiting for since 2013.
What kind of update is this? The new patch will be deployed today, expected at 18:00, and can be downloaded directly. The update is free and there will also be no downtime.
The update brings some major new features, including:
The return of the first episodes of Season 1 of the Living World, which has also received some significant revisions.
New, unique skins and rewards.
A change to the Jade Bots, which caused a loot problem in WvW, will be reversed.
Above all, the Living World is eagerly awaited by many players. Although it was released in 2013, it was only temporarily playable. Since then, there has been a gap in the story of Guild Wars 2.

Guild Wars 2: Everything you need to know about the new expansion End of Dragons in under 3 minutes
Guild Wars 2 closes a major gap after 9 years
What was Season 1 of the Living World? This project was about a new update being deployed every 2 to 4 weeks. It continued the story and brought several significant events. Several areas were destroyed or changed due to attacks. The world was truly alive.
However, this content disappeared again after 2 to 4 weeks. Destroyed cities like Lion’s Arch remained, but the story could not be caught up. Anyone starting with Guild Wars 2 today faces a gap between the base game and Season 2 of the Living World and suddenly encounters characters that were previously completely unknown.
How does this return actually look? The new Season 1 of the Living World has been slightly adjusted, as the original version was not designed for the current chronicle system. Many contents will thus be in instances, which will also be more linear.
Additionally, the story and dialogues have been adjusted in some places to meet the modern standards of ArenaNet. After all, there were over 9 years between the first instance in January 2013 and the release now in April 2022.
With the new update, however, only the first episodes of Season 1 of the Living World will be brought back. In total, there are to be 5 updates spread out over the year. Update 2 is planned for May 24, as you can see from the new roadmap:
What do you think about the return of Season 1 of the Living World? Is this the right step, or should the developers have focused their time on new content?

In Lost Ark there are two specific engravings that appear in almost every build when you want to deal damage. These are Wrath and the Cursed Doll. Both can be quite powerful, but they might not be as good for you personally as you think.
What can the two engravings do? Both commonly used engravings massively increase your damage. Wrath gives you between 4 and 20% more damage against boss monsters, while the Cursed Doll promises between 3 and 16% damage against everything. However, both engravings demand a lot from you in return.
For Wrath also means that you take 20% more damage from all sources. Combined with the Cursed Doll engraving, which reduces all healing effects by 25%, you will become an easy target on the battlefield.
Why are they in so many builds? If you progress far enough in the game and master both your character and the various moves of the bosses, the negative effects of the engravings will no longer be a problem for you. Because if you are not hit at all, it doesn’t matter how much damage or healing you would receive.
Thus, the two engravings offer a total damage bonus of 36% on bosses. And if you have mastered the game so well that you hardly ever get hit, the engravings have no disadvantages, such as slower attacks or similar.
This makes Wrath and Cursed Doll the most powerful engravings in the game, making them ideal for professionals who want to get the most out of their character.
Start video
The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark
The big BUT
Why you should avoid them: As you can infer, you definitely should not use the engravings if you are not comfortable with your character yet or if you are seeing a boss for the first time. But there are even more reasons why the engravings may not be optimal for you.
Like every other engraving in Lost Ark, Wrath and Cursed Doll have three different levels. While the bonus damage increases with each level, the negative effects remain the same across all levels of the engraving.
This means that with Wrath at level 1 you still have to take 20% more damage, but only deal a measly 4% more damage. It’s simply not worth it. The same applies to the Cursed Doll.
When should I not take the engravings? If you cannot reach the third level of these engravings yet, it is best to leave them out of your build altogether. Because especially when you are still in the process of building your character, you often do not have all the engravings you want.
Players often do not tolerate negative effects that come with ability stones or jewelry. But if you trigger negative engravings just to get Wrath or the Doll to level 2, you have effectively lost twice.
This is how your build should never look, even if you might mean well (Source: reddit)
It doesn’t matter how well you can play your character or how well you know the boss – If you can’t use the engravings at level 3, you shouldn’t use them at all. The negative effects simply aren’t worth it and the additional damage from levels 1 and 2 can be achieved differently, with fewer disadvantages.
These engravings bring you more:
What alternatives are there? This depends a bit on the class you are playing. “Master of Ambush” is very well suited for many characters. This engraving increases your damage when you attack enemies from behind. At level 1 by 5%, at level 3 even by 25%. It has no negative effects.
If you have many area damage skills that cannot target from behind or in front, “Master of Strike” is a sensible engraving. It increases your damage between 3 and 16% when you do not attack your enemy from behind or in front. It also has no negative properties.
The engraving “Adrenaline” is also very well suited for many DPS classes. With it, you accumulate a damage bonus for each ability you use. Once you have reached 6 stacks of this ability, your critical hit chance increases. Especially with classes that use skills quickly and in large numbers, this engraving is very worthwhile.
The engraving “Spirit Absorption” is also recommended for almost all classes. It improves both your attack and your movement speed by up to 15%. The engraving also completely avoids negative effects.

Here the MeinMMO editorial team talks about how Lost Ark feels after 30, 60, and 120 hours
Good alternatives that may not work for all classes: The engraving “Precise Dagger” is also often recommended. Unlike the previously mentioned engravings, it has a significant negative effect and should therefore be used with caution. The engraving increases your critical hit chance by 4 to 20%, while reducing your critical damage by 12% at every level.
If you play a class that requires a lot of critical hits, but you yourself do not yet have a high critical hit chance, you should still use this engraving.
It is similar with the engraving “Daring Blunt Weapon”. It increases your critical damage by up to 50%, but comes with the downside that your normal attacks have a chance to deal 20% less damage. You should only reach for this engraving if you already have a high critical hit chance.
For gunlancers, artillery men, and other classes with many shields, the engraving “Barricade” is a perfect choice. It increases your damage while you have an active shield by up to 16% and does so without any negative effect. If you have a way to get shields often, this engraving is optimally suited.
Exclusively for berserkers who play the madness build, the engraving “Unconquered Persistence” is essential. It increases your damage by up to 16% if you are below 50% of your health points. Since you can have a maximum of 25% of your HP as a madness berserker, you receive 16% more damage from this engraving. And all without any disadvantages. Other classes should rather stay away from it.
What do you think of the two controversial engravings? Do you play them yourself, or are you rather surprised by all the people who keep asking why they are dying? Did we overlook a generally good engraving in the alternatives? Feel free to write it in the comments here at MeinMMO, we look forward to your opinion.
In Elden Ring, hackers and trolls know no bounds. This time, a new trick is circulating in the Lands Between, where pranksters can ruin your save game with just a pair of underwear. We will show you the details.
What are players complaining about? Many players are temporarily banned without any apparent reason. Therefore, the fans of Elden Ring are wondering what they did wrong. Reddit user Ok-Communication7125 investigated the matter and inquired with support regarding his sudden ban.
The reason for his ban – and possibly for many other players – is an item that should not be in his possession. It is the underwear of Fia, the NPC who gives you bad hugs and indirectly weakens you.
Hackers have obtained this piece of clothing and are now causing unjust bans.
Dirty laundry leads to bans – Be careful!
What is causing the problem? Ironically, a piece of underwear is responsible for the unjust bans. The item “Deathbed Smalls” comes from the NPC Fia, who can hug you at the Roundtable. The problem, however, is that this item is not supposed to be playable.
Hackers and trolls have found ways to secure items from the data in their inventories, which they then drop for players. However, these “gifts” have no place in the inventories of players and are tracked by the servers.
If one of these cut contents is found in your inventory, you will be temporarily banned. Reddit user Ok-Communication7125 reported dismayed that after 220 hours of gameplay, support instructed him to delete Elden Ring and his save files. If he does not do this, he will be completely banned from the game online for 180 days.
Who is affected? Any player on all platforms can be affected. Hackers also find ways to gain access to the data through modified consoles of the Xbox Series X and PS5 to give you these items.
How can I protect myself? Do not pick up items from players in your world that you do not know. If a hacker drops this item for you, you can kick him from your world and restart the game.
This will make the dropped item disappear and you do not have to worry about accidentally picking it up. As long as you do not possess this item in your inventory, nothing can happen to you.
What do you think about this new trick that hackers have come up with? Do you find it ridiculous that they are ruining the fun for players with such dirty tricks? Let us know in the comments how you feel about it!

The MOBA League of Legends now has 159 champions: With Zeri and Renata Glasc, the last two were added to the game in January and February 2022. But there are further plans. In a developer post, they hinted at the next 3 champions. A new jungler, top laner, and bot laner could join LoL in 2022.
How many new champions are added to LoL each year? Champions in LoL are in development for a long time and are released at different times. The plan is more or less to bring five new champs each year, ideally one for each role. This is working somewhat:
In 2019, there were 5 champs
In 2020, 6 new ones were added
In 2021, there were only 4
In 2022, Zeri and Renata Glasc have already been released, one bot laner and one supporter – Riot hints that 3 more new legends could be added in 2022, but they are not committing to it yet. These should be a jungler, another bot laner, and a top laner.
It now says in a new blog post:
In the course of the last champion plans, I mentioned that we would scale back the production of new champions a bit for a while. We want to ensure that each champion receives the time and attention it needs to shine upon release, even if that means we may not be able to develop a new character for each position every year. While we don’t yet know exactly how many champions we will release this year, it should be about the same number as last year.
Ryan “Reav3” Mireles, Lead Champion Producer LoL
So it could be that all 3 champions that Riot is outlining could come in 2022, making it 5 champions. But maybe it will only be 4 like in 2021.
The next jungler sounds like Kerrigan from StarCraft
This is known about the next jungler: The next new champion is set to be a jungler from the ‘Void’. It is said to be an empress to whom one must submit.
It is spoken of ‘true elegance, true beauty, and the true face of the Void’. It is set to be a ‘skirmish jungler’.
Already in January 2021, it was speculated on reddit that the new jungler in LoL could function like a ‘Kerrigan’ from StarCraft 2 and take over the map with Voidling creatures. Some kind of ‘evil brood mother’ that seizes everything.
This is what it looks like when the new champion takes over from LoL developer Mireles.
Cheerful but deadly – Is a sea otter waddling onto the bot lane?
This is known about the next bot laner: According to LoL, the next bot laner is set to be a ‘colorful but deadly stranger’ who has arrived from the sea to Runeterra.
Apparently, the new champion laughs a lot and has a ‘water and mist’ motif. In January, it was hinted that an ‘unconventional bot laner’ is what awaits us.
On reddit, there is a joke: This could perhaps be a laughing sea otter, with whom one can then go ‘full Disney’ by playing with Zoe and Yuumi.
In LoL, there are several champions that resemble animals like Volibear (bear), Renekton (crocodile), or Anivia (bird). An otter could fit in well.
Could it serve as inspiration for the next bot laner in LoL?
New top laner could fill a cultural gap
This is known about the next top laner: The last new champion is set to be a top laner, who is to be the ‘Pride of Nazumah’, a region of Shurima that has yet to be visited by anyone.
It is hinted that it could be a tank from a desert region. On reddit, it is speculated that it could be a proud warrior with a lion motif. Others hope to receive a champion that represents the iridescent region of North Africa.
Many seem to be waiting for such a champion, who could fill a gap in LoL.
New champions in LoL are delicate; Riot often doesn’t quite get the balancing right and has to adjust:
The Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek became known for shooters, but in recent months he has increasingly played MMORPGs like New World, Lost Ark, and WoW. In a livestream, he explained where the weaknesses of the two newest titles on the market lie. The mentioned reasons certainly play a role, but they are not everything.
Lost Ark, on the other hand, launched in February 2022 and created even greater hype. The game’s advantage was that it is free-to-play, eliminating the hurdle of having to purchase the game upfront. With over 1.3 million concurrent players, it ranks second on Steam.
However, both MMORPGs have significantly decreased in numbers in the months following their releases. Two months after release, New World had only 177,000 players at its peak (about 20% of the release numbers) and Lost Ark had 416,000 (about 30%).
The streamer shroud has streamed both games live on Twitch for several hundred hours. New World ranks second for him with over 480 hours among the most streamed games in the last 365 days – just behind Valorant (via Sullygnome).
In a new livestream, he explained why he thinks the two games are failing and why Lost Ark could face a similar fate as New World.
Cheating and Pay2Win discourage old and new players
What exactly does shroud say? First, the streamer talks about New World. When asked how a large number of players could return to the MMORPG, he replied:
A few new updates, then take New World down and restart it. Or completely new servers. I think new servers are important for New World as soon as they have fixed the game and it is in a better state.
Because of all the exploits that existed and happened, nobody really wanted to play New World when they saw everyone cheating.
He further explained that many players were so discouraged by all the bugs and cheaters that they did not want to start or return to New World at all.
He also draws a connection to Lost Ark and the Pay2Win allegations:
It’s a bit like Lost Ark, isn’t it? The pay-to-win elements in Lost Ark have a significant impact on the game. More than you think. It’s still doing well, and it will continue to do well. But the “Pay2Win” mechanics will discourage people.
However, many criticize the game more for a hidden Pay2Win through a backdoor. Because to upgrade equipment, a lot of materials are needed – and there can also be failures. These materials can be farmed or purchased from other players.
So whales can exchange their real money for in-game gold and buy items from the marketplace. Those who invest heavily will progress faster.
Players try new MMORPGs and leave if they don’t like them
Are cheaters, exploits and Pay2Win the only reasons? No, they are mainly problems that hardcore players and hardcore fans see. Many casual players simply try out a new MMORPG and see if they enjoy it both gameplay-wise and content-wise.
They then leave if they don’t like the game. Especially with free-to-play titles like Lost Ark, a high turnover is common.
However, such players rarely pay attention to problems in the economy or Pay2Win. They don’t dive deep enough to encounter these mechanics or simply don’t care as long as they have fun with the MMORPG.
Here, especially New World had problems keeping players engaged at the start, because many contents were simply missing or not fully thought out.
What do you think, why have the two MMORPGs lost so many players? And what do you think needs to change for you to return to the titles? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
For more on the current development of New World, you can find out more in this special:
A new MMO called Ring of Titans has launched in Early Access on Steam, focusing entirely on PvP. You fight against other players in various arenas. The concept and general structure of the game remind many of the arenas in WoW, as mentioned in the reviews.
What kind of game is this? In Ring of Titans, you play as a Titan, competing against other players in PvP:
You can fight in 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 matches. There are also bot rounds for training.
You choose one of eight different Titans, each possessing all skills, abilities, and talents right from the start.
You have access to 12 different abilities and can select two from 6 class talents and 6 general talents.
All players have the same gear, and there is no RNG, such as critical hits or random resistances. Only skill should decide.
There is a leaderboard that you can climb.
There is a spectator mode and replays for your matches.
The game does not include Pay2Win elements.
Ring of Titans has been in Early Access since March 1 and is free to play. The developers promise several updates before the full release, including new Titans.
How does the game get funded? There is a shop where you can purchase skins for mounts, armor, and titles. However, these have no impact on the gaming experience.
The YouTuber Snupy has checked out the game and made a video about it:

Plays like an arena in WoW, but without the grind beforehand
How is the game received? At the time of writing, Ring of Titans has 334 reviews, with 78% being positive. These reviews praise the action-packed and fun nature of the battles and especially highlight that there is no grind in the game. You don’t have to level or gear up a character like in WoW; you have immediate access to all content.
The user Zeecho writes in his review:
This game is perfect for arena lovers from all genres. No gear, no leveling, and no major preparation. Just log in, choose a Titan, and play. The developer seems fully committed to improving the game and actually listens to the community, making appropriate changes. Highly recommended!
The user Ape compares the game to Battlerite and calls it a “must play” for all fans of arena games (via Steam).
What do the critics say? Criticism is currently focused primarily on the very long rounds, balance issues, especially regarding crowd control, and the fact that the game seems too closely oriented to WoW. This negatively affects some players.
The user Volare writes:
This game is obviously still in an early stage of development, but given its strong resemblance to WoW Arena, one would expect them to have the foresight to consider WoW’s class balance.
However, they seem to lack this insight, and the apparent discrepancies in the classes, especially for 1v1, are very obvious from the start. CCs in this game are far too long, and it seems apparent that they could optimize such numbers immediately, but the fact that they haven’t already done so tells me that either they don’t play it, or they are simply unaware of how unbalanced they have made the game.
How many players are playing Ring of Titans? At peak, the new PvP game reached 430 simultaneous players. However, the numbers have already dropped significantly. At the best time in the last 24 hours, there were 21 players online at the same time. At the time of writing (April 19 at 1:00 PM), there were 5 active players.
What do you think of the game’s concept? Does such an arena setting appeal to you in general? Or do you prefer PvP in MMORPGs?
If you’re looking for a PvP MMORPG, you’ll find it in this list:
In Diablo 3 the new Season 26 has been running for a few days. We check the leaderboard to see which class has a lead just a few days in and how big that lead is.
What is happening in Diablo 3? On April 15, the new Season 26 started in Diablo 3. The main season theme is the Echoing Nightmare, which presents a new endgame activity. This means certain items drop from bosses in Greater Rifts, which you can use in Kanai’s Cube to open the activity.
We are now looking at the rankings a few days after the start. Which class is currently performing best?

What have we checked? We have looked at the official rankings of Season 26 in Softcore. We checked the EU servers for each class in the general overview (all sets).
As of now (April 19 at 1:18 PM), the placements are as follows:

Haedrig with Greater Rift 134 in ~ 14 minutes and 57 seconds (Link to hero profile via Diablo3.com)
Witch Doctor with Greater Rift 133 in ~ 13 minutes and 3 seconds (Link to hero profile via Diablo3.com)
Sorcerer with Greater Rift 132 in ~ 14 minutes and 30 seconds (Link to hero profile via Diablo3.com)
Necromancer with Greater Rift 130 in ~ 13 minutes and 35 seconds (Link to hero profile via Diablo3.com)
Barbarian with Greater Rift 130 in ~ 14 minutes and 30 seconds (Link to hero profile via Diablo3.com)
Crusader with Greater Rift 128 in ~ 13 minutes and 42 seconds (Link to hero profile via Diablo3.com)
Monk players have already established a good lead over the bottom of the pack. Many are using the Inna’s set, which is available right at the start from Haedrig’s gift for completing the season journey chapters. This quickly gives a strong build that ranks high on the leaderboards.
However, the final word has not yet been spoken. We are still at the very beginning of the season and much can still change. Especially with the increasing Paragon levels, there might still be movement in the rankings.
We from MeinMMO regularly check the rankings of the seasons and keep you updated. Whether the monks can maintain their lead until the end of the season or soon be overtaken by other classes, you’ll read about it here.
In Final Fantasy XIV, there have been issues with the new housing area in Ishgard in recent days. The lottery for purchasing the plots was completely broken for some participants. Now, the head of the MMORPG has released a detailed post regarding the situation.
Situation summary:
For the sale of plots in the new housing area in Ishgard, FFXIV has established a lottery system where players can apply for the plots.
The winners of the lottery then have the exclusive right to purchase their desired houses. Other participants will receive their deposited money back.
However, there was an issue during the draw last week, as for a whole series of plots, the winning number 0 was drawn, as if there were no participants in the raffle. No one could acquire these houses, and everyone went empty-handed.
The problem led to a wave of complaints in the official FFXIV forums, on Reddit, and also on social media. Ishgard is a popular city, and housing there has been highly anticipated by many.
Quickly, the head of the MMORPG, Naoki Yoshida, spoke up and provided a detailed response to the problem.
Winners are decided, but they do not know it yet
What Yoshida says: In a blog post on the official site, Yoshida explained that this is a server-side bug:
[…] During the investigation of this problem, we found that while the server responsible for conducting the draw was functioning correctly, the results were not being properly communicated to the server responsible for managing the housing data.
Once this error is fixed and the draw data can be smoothly relayed to this management server, we will be able to confirm the actual winners. […]
This means that the winners of the broken lottery are actually decided despite the error message. Once the bug is fixed and the management server has received the winner data, they should be able to receive their houses normally. A second registration for the lottery is therefore not necessary, according to Yoshida.
In addition to fixing the error, the head and his team are now also discussing the next steps regarding the lottery. For the houses where the zero was drawn as the winning number, the participants had to pick up their deposited money. It has been refunded to them.
However, since there is still a winner, the team is now considering how the money for the plot can best be deducted. This needs some further consideration.
We are currently discussing how exactly the Gil of the players who were mistakenly indicated as losers and have already received a refund should be taken. Details about this process will be released at a later time.
Once the bug is fixed and the lottery data has been restored, the housing servers will be overwritten, and the winners will receive their plots.
If you were unlucky and experienced the 0-bug in your draw, there is still hope. It could be that you were drawn as a winner, even if the management server did not register it that way.
The Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins had his big moment in 2018 with the online shooter Fortnite. But in 2022, he feels that he no longer plays a special role in Epic’s plans. He says he feels like the studio hates him right now. He is frustrated that he does not get the support other new content creators receive. Additionally, Epic has postponed the resale of his skin.
What is the deal with Fortnite and Ninja?
The game “Fortnite: Battle Royale” experienced a rapid rise starting in winter 2017, peaked in March 2018, and was at that time the biggest gaming topic in the world. In 2018 and for several months in 2019, there was a real “Fortnite mania”: the online shooter was everywhere: in children’s rooms, on Twitch, on television.
At the same time as Fortnite, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins became a star on Twitch. The notorious trash talker and overly ambitious flamer held back on cursing, put on a headband, chugged one Red Bull after another, and streamed Fortnite like a maniac.
Ninja reached new heights, was the first to have more than 10 million followers on Twitch, was invited to major talk shows, and dreamed of building a huge brand around himself – like David Beckham he wanted to be.
Even back then, Ninja said how much he benefited from Fortnite: This is how he earned enormous sums through the “Creator Code.” But from his perspective, it could have been even more in 2018 if the developers behind Fortnite, Epic Games, had properly supported him.
What was Ninja’s problem with Fortnite? Even at the height of Fortnite, Ninja complained that he was not receiving “the love” he felt he deserved.
For months in 2018 and 2019, he complained that he should actually receive an “own skin” in Fortnite. The implication was that he should also share in the sales proceeds. For months, Ninja jealously scrutinized every reference to other content creators in Fortnite.
It seemed as if Ninja believed that Epic was making a mistake by not placing him at the center of all actions to become “even richer.” Ultimately, Ninja got his “own skin” in January 2020 – in his view, it came too late, as the big hype was already over.
Ninja was the first creator with his own skin in Fortnite.
Ninja says he is “more sad than angry”
What Ninja is complaining about now: In 2022, Twitch streamer Ninja is no longer as big a deal as he used to be. A viewer recently asked him when his skin would return to the Fortnite item shop.
But Ninja appeared puzzled. He said it was actually planned for the skin to return to the item shop on April 11, but that was postponed at the last minute:
I feel like Epic hates me right now, seriously. I feel like I’m getting the short end of the stick.
Ninja
Thus, Ninja is frustrated that streamers Ludwig and Loserfruit are both getting events in Fortnite sponsored by Epic. However, he has not received an offer to do the same.
Perhaps Epic is trying to promote other content creators as well, not just him. But he and his team had promoted the return of the skin for a month, and now it had simply been postponed.
This makes him “more sad than angry,” he says.

What it’s about: It’s been a pattern with Ninja for years that he is extremely ambitious and has consistently complained about why he isn’t pushed further up, even when he’s already at the top.
From his perspective, Epic is following a wrong approach here by putting focus on multiple horses instead of just favoring him.
From the outside, it seems like Epic doesn’t want to clearly highlight anyone as a “super draw,” but instead bets on many faces. However, Ninja still seems unable to come to terms with this idea even after five years.
The popular survival game ARK: Survival Evolved will receive an update in September 2022 that improves the game to a newer version of Unreal Engine 4. However, the update will only be available for the Nintendo Switch.
Which platform is receiving the update? The Switch version of the popular survival hit will receive a major update in September 2022 with the release of “ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition”.
The update brings the Switch version of the game to the latest version of Unreal Engine 4, which is expected to improve graphics and performance.
The versions of the survival hit for PS4, Xbox One, Mobile, and PC will not receive an update for now and will continue to run on an older version of Unreal Engine 4.
The update for the Switch was not developed by Studio Wildcard itself, but by a third-party developer.
If you are interested in what ARK is and what content it offers, you should check out this video:

Everything you need to know about the survival game ARK: Survival Evolved
Switch players have had to endure significant losses so far
Why are the other platforms not receiving the update? A criticism that ARK has been facing for years is its performance. But mobile and Switch players have been particularly hard hit, having to endure massive content and graphical losses.
Studio Wildcard hopes that the update to the latest version of Unreal Engine 4 will bring the gameplay experience on the Switch to the level of PS4 and Xbox One.
The studio does not aim to improve the game across all platforms and update the engine, but to offer Switch players an experience comparable to that of other platforms.
Wildcard describes a completely revamped ARK experience, with all features, graphics, and functions of the other platforms. Players will even be able to keep their earned progress.
This new Switch experience will include improvements and upgrades to align it visually and functionally with the experience on Xbox One and PS4. We are excited about how it is developing and are sure that you will be too!
What engine does ARK usually run on? Epic Games generally releases an updated version of the current Unreal Engine every 2 to 3 months. The first release of Unreal Engine 4 was in March 2014.
The development of ARK: Survival Evolved began in October 2014. The survival game was first released in Early Access in June 2015. Studio Wildcard has not conducted an engine update since then.
ARK: Survival Evolved therefore runs on a version of Unreal Engine 4 that was released between October 2014 and June 2015.
Which version of Unreal Engine 4 does the Switch receive? As Studio Wildcard announced, ARK on the Nintendo Switch will receive an update to the latest version of Unreal Engine 4, which has been regularly updated.
With version 4.27, Unreal Engine 4 received another update in August 2021 (via unrealengine.com), which received a hotfix in December.
What content is the Switch receiving with the update? Among the content updates that the Switch version will receive in September 2022 is the “Scorched Earth Expansion Pack” along with the associated map Scorched Earth, which was already released on other platforms in 2016.
Moreover, it is planned to release further content updates on the Switch at 2-month intervals and to include the DLCs Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis Part 1 & 2.
Studio Wildcard is not only improving ARK on the Switch but is also already working on the sequel ARK 2. Everything you need to know about the upcoming survival title can be found on MeinMMO.
The stim glitch caused a lot of excitement and unfair victories in Call of Duty: Warzone. But currently, you don’t even need to cheat to secure easy victories with stims and gas items. The battle royale gives you enough tools for that.
What kind of tactic is this? Similar to the annoying stim glitch from Call of Duty: Warzone, you can survive long in the deadly gas and take out your opponents in the final moments of a match without being shot.
After half a dozen appearances of the glitch, the error finally disappeared. But by now there are many strong options to survive long in the gas even without cheating.
Waiting out the victory is a valid tactic
How does the tactic work? If you survive most of the match and approach the last circles of the play area, you can easily secure a victory with the right items.
With some items and a equipment perk, you can spend up to 2 minutes in the gas. In the end, your enemies die in the gas because there is no play area left and you are better prepared:
Gas mask (12 seconds)
Durable gas mask (24 seconds)
2 stims (about 10 seconds)
Ammunition box (about 10 seconds)
Perk: Replenish (about 5 seconds)
Field upgrade: PDS (about 13 seconds)

How long can you stay in the gas? Even without the support of a teammate bringing in an additional ammunition box, you can spend up to 1 minute in the gas without stress.
If you then have a functioning buy station nearby or a special place with plenty of loot and more gas masks, you can even make it for 2 minutes – as a nasty clip on TikTok shows (via tiktok.com).
If you make it to the endgame and prepare for the gas tactic, you can farm easy victories, but you also draw the hatred of your opponents.
Otherwise, we would also like to know how you feel about the subject.
Do you think the tactic is unfair, perhaps even cowardly? Or do you think it’s okay as long as the shooter allows such approaches? Feel free to leave us a comment.

Right now, as the only highlight of Season 16 in Destiny 2, the Guardian Games 2022, is approaching, players are increasingly wondering: “What comes next?” Only Bungie employees know that for sure, but apparently they are already more than excited about the new content. MeinMMO has gathered information and statements about the upcoming Season 17 for you.
The campaign surrounding the Witch Queen, the Witness and his student in Destiny 2 currently features many interesting storylines. While the experienced Iron Lord Saladin shows a young wolf the right path, players are mastering the new challenges.
This evening, the Grandmaster challenge in the “Oryx’s Vow” raid begins.
On May 3rd, the Guardian Games 2022 take place, kicking off the class competition.
And in the Trials, players will be able to vote over the map on May 6th.
Moreover, not much is known yet. It’s no wonder that players immediately perked up when some Bungie employees talked about the upcoming Season 17. And it certainly sounds like Bungie intends to keep the suspense in the story.
Where will the Destiny 2 story head in Season 17?
Who sparked the hype? The initial hype for the upcoming Season 17 was sparked by Hazel Monforton. She is a Senior Narrative Designer at Bungie and has recently started working, especially on seasonal content for Destiny 2.
When she posted on Twitter on April 17th, she immediately caught the attention of the Destiny 2 community.
Bungie employee on the new Season 17 in Destiny 2.
She teases the new Season 17 in her tweet as “phenomenal” and promises “you will love it.”
With this opinion, she seems not to be alone at Bungie. Clearly, the new Season 17 has also deeply excited other Bungie employees, like Ben Platnick. He is a VFX Artist at Bungie and primarily works on weapons and emotes.
Additionally, it also seems that players can expect another aha moment in Season 17, similar to what happened during the Witch Queen campaign.
Vince Ste. Marie, a Performance Test Engineer at Bungie, wrote in response to Hazel Monforton’s tweet:
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a scene while testing [Season 17] and responded with “Oh, holy shit.”
Vince Ste. Marie, via Twitter on Season 17 in Destiny 2
Is it all just PR or genuine excitement? Of course, one should assume that Bungie employees are excited about their own work. But it genuinely sounds like something that could make the upcoming Season 17 quite thrilling. Especially if you are already thrilled by the new way Bungie is currently building its stories.
This is currently known about Season 17 in Destiny 2
Currently, Destiny 2 is already planning a major update for weapons and meta. First information for players will likely be released on Thursday, April 21st.
Additionally, some details of Season 17 have already been mentioned by Bungie.
The Iron Banner will be revamped and perhaps enhanced.
What happens during Season 17 in the story? While a few upcoming contents are known, the development of the story in Season 17 remains a mystery. Especially since Bungie has currently left some storylines completely open, which would still make sense to continue.
Basicly, if we use the past as a benchmark, it is rather unlikely that Bungie will continue directly with the story of Savathun in Season 17. It is more likely that players will first wrap up a few other open story ends.
Will players soon learn the fate of the Leviathan?
Especially the exotic mission “Vox Obscura” has great potential for a continuation. Over several weeks, players could listen to some voice lines with Caiatl and Commander Zavala there. Perhaps players will soon learn what happened to Calus and the Leviathan.
Additionally, the fate of Lord Saladin is also interesting. Will he stay with the Cabal and soon have no time to come to the Tower? Does he then also determine the fate of Crow, who is currently deep in his debt? It wouldn’t be the first time that a Hunter Guardian takes a position at the Vanguard due to an old debt.
Or will we soon hear from Ana Bray again? After all, she continues to work in the Tower on the restoration of the Warmind “Rasputin”. Perhaps she has resorted to unscrupulous means and utilized the controversial S.I.V.A. technology to fully reactivate him?
There are plenty of open story ends for Season 17: Destiny 2, as always, has several options for a continuation in Season 17. But as it looks, we can only hope that Bungie employees do not promise too much and that the upcoming contents remain exciting for the players.
What do you think, what awaits players in the new Season 17? Are we expecting the return of old technologies? Or do you think they might still unfreeze the good Eramis from Beyond Light? Have you perhaps found hints in the game that leading you to future events? We’d love to hear your opinion on what you’d prefer in Season 17, so please share your comments.

Two legendary items should be the maximum. “Whatever”, some players of World of Warcraft think and simply equip 7 at the same time.
Legendary items in World of Warcraft are important – especially in the current expansion Shadowlands. They make up a large part of character power and even grant new, passive effects. Therefore, these items are also drastically limited. A maximum of 2 can be equipped by a character at the same time, and only in very specific combinations – one would think.
Some players simply equip 5, 6, or even 7 legendary items simultaneously and thus have nearly infinitely powerful characters.
What happened? In the Subreddit of World of Warcraft, a video of a Twitch streamer was shared, who confronted the Jailer in the “Mausoleum of the First” raid in mythic mode. Just before the battle begins, the paladin briefly opens his character window and appears to do something unusual:
He is not only wearing 2 legendary items, as it should actually be, but rather 7!
7 legendary items at the same time – a clear exploitation of an exploit.
Where does the bug come from? This bug is not entirely new. It already appeared on the PTR for Patch 9.2. There, many legendary items did not have the “Unique-Equippable” tag, which allowed players to equip multiple legendary items. The bug was fixed on the PTR, but evidently, another variant of this exploit has sneaked into the live version.
By exploiting a bug, it is possible to equip the “Unity” legendary in all possible slots. Although this only grants the associated passive effect once – the item level of 291 in many slots leads to massive character stats and an extremely optimized character. Such stats cannot be achieved with conventional gear.
Just the fact that one wears 7 items at item level 291 with exactly the best secondary stats makes the character much stronger than would be possible in the usual way.
Is it allowed to exploit this? No. It is impossible to stumble upon this bug “by accident” and then just as “accidentally” craft and use 7 legendary items. Anyone who exploits the bug should expect to receive a hefty account penalty in the coming days. Therefore, we advise all players against exploiting this bug if they care about their game access.
Of course, this is an unpleasant situation for Blizzard nonetheless, as one thought this bug had already been turned off on the test server.
It is only a matter of time before Blizzard fixes the bug and imposes account penalties.

The famous German YouTuber Julien Zheng Zheng Kho Budorovits, better known by the pseudonym “Julien Bam,” had an encounter with hackers during Easter. However, not only he but also at least two other well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers have fallen victim to the same hackers.
What kind of hackers were they? The fraudsters promoted scams related to cryptocurrencies. They renamed the hacked YouTube channels and advertised the Bitcoin scam in streams and posts.
What were the consequences? Julien Bam initially reported in Instagram stories that all of his channels, providers, and accounts had been hacked. Additionally, the scammers allegedly used his PC to mine cryptocurrencies.
Julien’s main channel is now empty; there are currently no videos on the 5.7 million subscriber YouTube channel. His second channel “Bulien Jam” and his third channel “JUcktmichnicht” currently show this message when opened: “This account has been terminated for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.”
Furthermore, he has therefore lost a total of nearly 40,000 subscribers across all three YouTube channels (via socialblade.com). Julien Bam already reached out to YouTube on Twitter to seek contact with the platform. YouTube has already responded and stated that they would discuss further steps with him via private messages.
Who else was affected? Tastelessly, the late Reckful on YouTube was also targeted, who was so beloved that a huge memorial service was held in WoW. A stream was also started for him, promoting the Bitcoin scam with a presentation from Elon Musk (via Twitter). However, a video editor from Reckful took care of the issue and was able to restore the YouTube channel.
Additionally, the Twitch account of former streamer Fedmyster was used to loop the video of Elon Musk (via Livestreamfails.com). The livestream platform took initiative and banned Fedmyster (via Twitter). An average of 800 people watched the scam stream.
So be cautious in the future if you notice that your favorite content creators suddenly promote cryptocurrencies.
Julien Bam will surely get his channels back. YouTube must have a backup that they can restore. It remains questionable how the hackers gained access, especially since at least Julien Bam had even activated a 3-factor authentication.
