On April 21, Lost Ark will introduce a Battle Pass called the Ark Pass as part of the update “Battle for the Throne of Chaos” where players can earn additional rewards.
What is the Ark Pass? The Ark Pass is a Battle Pass similar to those in many games. You can complete additional quests and receive rewards at each Pass level. It includes a total of 30 levels. You can find the Battle Pass in the upper right corner of the screen, right next to the mini-map.
The quests are divided into regular missions and seasonal missions, offering different tasks. For example, you need to complete Guardian Raids, finish Unas tasks, or participate in PvP battles for the regular missions. For the seasonal missions, you need to use a beacon 20 times or play an instrument.
You can complete regular quests until you reach 500 EP. The EP are reset weekly, and you can do more tasks. The seasonal quests can only be completed once per Battle Pass.
You can purchase the Ark Pass from now until June 18. You have until July 14 to complete it fully.
How much does the Ark Pass cost? It is available in three variants:
Free
Premium for 1,500 royal crystals, or about €15
Super Premium for 3,000 royal crystals, or about €30
What rewards are there? As you collect EP, your Pass level increases. This happens either through the quests or by using blue crystals. At most levels, you can choose one of two success rewards. If you have purchased the Premium version, an additional reward is added at each level. Those with Super Premium receive an extra reward every 5 levels.
In the free version, you can receive upgrade materials, relationship chests, and card packs. At level 10, you can get the mount Vanguard of the Blue or Dark Soul. It has similar stats to the Ceberus from the Platinum pre-order package and is the best mount you can obtain for free in Lost Ark.
The premium reward includes additional upgrading materials. The super premium rewards include a profile background, skins, and a legendary relationship chest.
With Premium or Super Premium, there are more rewards.
Is it worth it? Every player should take a look at the Battle Pass from time to time, as most of the tasks are very easy to complete. There are also useful rewards for F2P players, and you shouldn’t miss the mount. If you want to get more out of the Pass, you can invest real money; that’s up to each individual.
In a previous post, we asked you if you would buy the Pass or not. 20% said they would not buy it, 22% said they definitely would. For the rest, it depended on what content the Ark Pass ultimately offers.
What do you think about the Ark Pass? Is it as you imagined it? Are you satisfied with the content of the Battle Pass? Will you buy the Premium or Super Premium version, or will you stick to the free content? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!

The roadmap for the new Season 3 / 2022 is online and shows the new content for Call of Duty: Warzone. Included are the biggest map changes on Caldera to date, an event featuring giant monsters, and a fresh gulag. MeinMMO shows you the content of the roadmap.
The new Season 3 of the free Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone starts on April 27 at 6 PM. With the release of the roadmap, it is now also clear what to expect:
Map changes
Fresh gulag
New weapons
Event with Godzilla and Kong
MeinMMO breaks down the individual points for you and guides you through the new content. We embed the roadmap here:
CoD Warzone: Roadmap Season 3 – All Contents
What does Season 3 bring to Warzone? The new season is called “Classified Arms” and is fully focused on the giant monsters Godzilla and King Kong. The event “Operation Monarch” starts on May 11.
But already at the start of the season on April 27, map changes will go live, there will be new weapons and a fresh gulag. We summarize the contents briefly for you. For a deeper insight into the new season, visit our big special on Season 3.
Map changes
With the new season, Caldera receives an entirely new location: Dig Site. In the west of the island between Ruins and Mine, giant bones rise from the earth. It’s a kind of excavation site for the skeletons of the giant monsters that will soon haunt the island.
In addition, 3 other locations will receive extensive revisions. The volcano peak will be remodeled, buildings rearranged, and the color scheme changed.
The location Runway in the northeast will also receive new and thus more buildings. Overall, the area after the reconstruction of this airfield will be clearer, as much of the jungle in the area disappears.
Furthermore, there will be adjustments to the Lagoon location in the west. New ships have docked here that you can explore.
Here you can find images of the revised locations. There is currently no image for Lagoon:
PeakRunwayDig Site
Mid-Season: Underground
By mid-season, more secrets around the underground of Caldera will be revealed. There is not much information about it yet, but there should be an entrance at the Peak location:
New Gulag
The new gulag Hold is a symmetrical battlefield in the belly of a ship, with a large area in the center and protected corridors on the sides.
2 new weapons at launch
Right at the start of Season 3, you can unlock 2 new weapons through the Battle Pass.
On one hand, the DMR M1916 comes – a semi-automatic rifle with 2-shot kills in multiplayer. Such weapons have been only rarely strong in Warzone so far – aside from the nasty peak of the DMR 14.
The second weapon is even more interesting as it features the assault rifle Nikita AVT. The weapon is defined by the highest fire rate of the Vanguard assault rifles and comes with noticeable recoil.
The Nikita seems like a good sniper support with elaborate attachments that should also allow for other use cases.
M1916Nikita AVT
2 weapons during the season
Later in Season 3, 2 more weapons will be added: the melee weapon Sledgehammer and the submachine gun H4 Bixen. However, there is not much information available about these two new weapons yet.
Operation Monarch from May 11
The highlight of the Warzone season is the crossover event with Godzilla and King Kong. The developers are not going into detail yet – but it is an event mode that is in the game for a limited time.
Operators have access to a large arsenal to fight against the monsters. So far, it seems that the two will actually cause chaos in Caldera and you are called upon to drive away the giant creatures.
If you want to take another look at the content along with the developers’ descriptions, you can find the English info here (via callofduty.com).
Season 3 focuses on the battle against the nasty movie monsters rampaging over Caldera. As soon as we have more information about the event, you will find it in our article about the Monarch event.
But for now, it remains exciting what lies behind the attack of Godzilla and Kong. Whether the two will actually run across the island and launch their powerful attacks against you or whether a scripted adventure is lurking behind it.

Recently, an event in Pokémon GO did not go as planned. The developers apologize for this and will bring a replacement event, but not for all trainers.
What event is this about? On April 16, a limited research event featuring Owei started in Pokémon GO. The egg Pokémon spawned significantly more often in the wild, and you could evolve it into Alolan Exeggutore during the event. Additionally, Alolan Exeggutore learned the powerful move Draco Meteor. To cap off the event, participants received double XP for catching Pokémon.
However, the event initially did not go as planned. The first players had trouble finding Shiny Owei. Niantic is now making it up to these players.
New Owei event for players in early time zones
What does Niantic say? On April 21, Niantic’s support reported on Twitter how the replacement event will look. They write:
Trainers, we will start a makeup event on April 30 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time as a Timed Research for the nine earliest time zones (GMT +14 – GMT +5), where the intended chances for encounters with Shiny Owei will be available.
During the makeup event, there will be a Timed Research rewarding you with 3 Owei encounters. Additionally, you can encounter Crypto-Owei in battles with Team GO Rocket.
More details will be available soon on our official channels. We apologize for the issues with the original event and thank you for your patience.
Which time zones does this apply to? If Niantic is very precise, Germany is not included. On Twitter, users showed on a map which areas could qualify for GMT +14 to GMT +5. The tweet indicates the areas inside the red line designated for the makeup event:

Germany would thus not be affected. However, there is hope that the affected areas will be expanded. Some people on Twitter say that Niantic should include more regions.
“After the early time zones reported that the Shiny chances were not increased, many trainers lost interest in the event and did not participate. Without knowing that the chances were then increased in their time zone,” writes Eheufaucan on Twitter.
Players on reddit also express that they wish for the makeup event to be worldwide. The reasoning is the same: They heard from early players that the Shiny chances were not increased and therefore skipped the event.
If so many players from the community are complaining, there is a chance that Niantic will indeed expand the event. But we can only say for sure once Niantic officially announces it.

Printed circuit boards like motherboards or other boards are often green. Even in the PS5, there is a green motherboard. But why are the devices all painted green?
If you dismantle an old computer or a mobile phone, you’ve surely spotted circuit boards or memory in a well-known shade of green. Because green printed circuit boards can be found in almost every electronic device. Even in the PS5, there is a green motherboard, as the technicians from Sony showed.
You can also find many green printed circuit boards on eBay. But why are printed circuit boards actually manufactured in green?
MeinMMO explains to you why manufacturers chose green and what considerations and ideas were behind it.
There are various reasons why circuit boards are green
Solder mask is applied to a printed circuit board as protection against mechanical damage and as a protection against corrosion. This solder mask is green and has been used in the industry for many decades. The so-called screen printing is used on the boards, which is better recognized with green paint.
Some suspect that the green color was chosen by the military. The military found that the green color was the most effective in adverse situations. The individual components can be more easily recognized and distinguished.
The color green has probably become the norm for printed circuit boards.
At that time, manufacturers did not only supply the military with printed circuit boards but also private customers, so they used the same color everywhere. Many people never saw the installed boards anyway.
In private settings, some also suspect that the manufacturer Intel may have coined the green color. Since many people associated the color green with Intel, they primarily bought green products and considered other colors like brown or black to be less valuable.
Another theory is that the green color is supposed to be more pleasant for the eyes. Optometrists had discovered that the frequency of green light put less strain on the eye. Additionally, the assembled parts can be more easily distinguished on the printed circuit board when it is green.
Today there are motherboards and circuit boards in numerous colors
Today there are various colors for motherboards. Gamers like to showcase their installed hardware and show what they have in their computers. Users often choose a motherboard with a color that matches the rest of their hardware. Some manufacturers also rely on unique color combinations to stand out from the competition.
Some users today are even willing to spend a lot of money on hardware. The manufacturer MSI has now presented a motherboard for which you have to pay over 1700 euros. With that money, you could already buy a well-equipped gaming PC. What you get for 1700 euros and what else is in the motherboard can be read on MeinMMO:
PlayStation Plus “gifts” you games every month as part of the paid subscription. Sony shares the new games for PS4 and PS5 only shortly before their release. MeinMMO shows you the schedule and potential candidates for PS Plus May 2022.
What does the schedule look like? Every month, the new games from PS Plus are released on the same day – the first Tuesday of the month. Everything else is currently pure speculation:
PS Plus: Games available from Tuesday, May 3
Typically around 12:00 PM
Possible announcement: Wednesday, April 27
Reveal of the games often around 5:30 PM
The times and dates of the reveals are based on experience and may still change. The only certain date is the unlock day on May 3.
In this article, we would like to mention some potential candidates for PS Plus in May, but there is currently no information about the actual games in the subscription. You can still secure the games from April until the new ones are online:
Which games could come in May? At the time of the article, there are no credible leaks about PS Plus. However, we have asked around in the community and present you with a few titles that could be potential candidates for games in PS Plus.
However, please keep in mind that these are not definitive pieces of information, but purely speculations and rumors circulating on the internet:
Lawn Mowing Simulator for PS4 – The garden calls
The lawn mower simulation has been available on PlayStation for a few weeks and fits the profile of PS Plus. The game is also currently available on Xbox Game Pass.
LEGO Worlds for PS4 – Forgotten Lego title with Minecraft ideas
LEGO is currently becoming more active in the video games market and could attract more attention with this title in PS Plus. In LEGO Worlds, you can create and destroy large worlds, similar to Minecraft. There are also tasks and missions.
Rust for PS4 – PvP survival without mercy
The survival hit had a mega hype on Steam in late 2020 / early 2021, but just missed the console release. There are still some big streamer events and with free availability through PS Plus, the title could greatly benefit.
Salt and Sanctuary for PS4 – Platformer with hundreds of weapons
The 2D platformer combines jump & run with RPG elements and hundreds of weapons. The indie game would be a typical game for PS Plus, scoring with gameplay elements despite its simple graphics.
Marvel’s Avengers for PS5 – Superhero MMO remains top favorite
As with the rumors in April, the speculations around Marvel’s Avengers remain hot. The game is a service game and is still being developed. A good way to generate more interest would be through PS Plus.
As soon as we have new information or leaks arise, you will find more about it on MeinMMO.
What does PS Plus bring? The subscription is important if you want to use multiplayer on your PlayStation. Because only a few games open the online mode without PS Plus.
In addition, you regularly receive cosmetics or in-game currencies from various games as gifts and have extra discounts on some games. Always check the PS Store and review the PS Plus section to ensure you don’t miss bonuses for games you find interesting.
Moreover, game saves can be transferred to the PS Cloud, and there are monthly games in the subscription. However, you can only use them if you are currently a member of PS Plus.
We are also interested in which games you would like to see in PS Plus or which titles you wish for. Feel free to leave us a comment with your suggestions.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands has introduced a major update. This not only brings support for the first DLC but also addresses many issues that players have faced since the release.
When will the update be released? The update has been available since 6:30 PM on April 21, 2022, and can now be downloaded.
One of the biggest highlights of the new update is the activation of the first DLC, which provides players with a new, difficult-to-defeat boss.
But besides the DLC component, there are also numerous improvements in the update that players can access without any additional costs. Many problems and changes are included in the extensive patch notes.

Loot Dice, Split Screen, and More – Long List Excites Players
What’s included in the update: A lot. The patch notes are filled with smaller and larger points that cover a whole range of complaints from recent weeks.
Here are some of the most important points:
The hidden loot dice, which determine your loot luck, will now apply to your entire profile – no longer per character. So you no longer need to search with each character. This was a change that many players requested.
You can assign new names to your characters and pets.
The cooldown for the Storm Slam ability of the Clawbringer class has been removed – and the damage has been increased.
The Chaos levels have been raised to level 35.
The moon orbs have been adjusted. You can now hold 16,000 instead of 4,000 and also receive more orbs in the endgame of the Wonderlands.
Several crashes have been fixed.
Issues in the split screen have also been addressed.
A shortened item card was shown to players instead of all the information, which made organizing loot incredibly difficult. At least collecting has been fixed – but this still seems to persist in the backpack menu.
Players were sometimes able to edit the menus of their teammates.
Audio issues and login problems on Xbox have been fixed.
In addition, there is a long, long list of minor fixes such as weapon adjustments, bug fixes, UI corrections, and more. You can find the complete list on the official site.
How players are reacting: In the Wonderlands subreddit, the update is received very positively. Many of the problems that hindered the game have been resolved from their perspective.
“Damn, they fixed everything,” writes one user (via reddit).
“They didn’t mention a few skill bugs, but overall they fixed a lot. Very impressive patch,” says user MonT_That_Duck (via reddit).
“Gearbox really went all out with this first patch, I’m impressed. I didn’t expect that loot dice tied to an account would be changed so quickly,” rejoices user “couchtimes” (via reddit).
“I was so excited that I launched the game just to check it out,” writes a user (via reddit) regarding the split-screen item overview: “Unfortunately, it was only fixed for items lying on the ground. The inventory and vendors still display shortened cards…”
So there are still points where the developers can improve. Nevertheless, the changes seem to be well received for now.
According to various sources, Ubisoft is reportedly working on a new PvP game currently titled “Project Q”. There, you will fight against each other in two different modes in smaller teams. We at MeinMMO reveal what is known about it.
What kind of game is this? Project Q is said to be an “innovative and modern PvP arena game,” as shooter expert Tom Henderson reports (via exputer). Information on this has come to light today, as first testers have been able to get hands-on with the game.
The focus of Project Q is expected to be on two game modes:
In “Showdown,” four teams of two players each fight for survival, similar to a battle royale.
In “Battle Zone,” however, two teams of four players each compete to be the first to reach 100 points. To collect these points, you must capture and defend specific areas of the map.
In these arenas, you will compete with your own hero, whose abilities and weapons you can determine yourself.
For weapons, you can choose from a variety of items, including hammers or paint cannons, but also a deck of playing cards or fireworks, which you can use to deal damage to enemies. In addition to the weapon, you can choose from a pool of variable abilities, including wings that allow you to jump and fly in the air.
Is there already gameplay? At least none publicly. However, Exputer reports that they have already received insights and that the art style resembles Knockout City by EA and Overwatch by Blizzard.

Project Q is likely an unannounced project that Ubisoft is working on
Has anything been heard about Project Q before? Ubisoft Bordeaux, which was founded in 2017, is reportedly working on an unannounced PvP game that is to be Free2Play according to its own website.
So far, there is no information available about the game. It is now generally assumed that Project Q could be that game.
When will Project Q be released? This is not yet known. However, the current test suggests that the development may take some time. According to Henderson, the game is still rough and unfinished in its current state.
Players love PvP arena games when they are well made
How has it been for games in this genre recently? In 2011, Riot Games hit big with its MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) League of Legends. Since then, there have been repeated attempts to clone the game or explore new avenues in PvP arena games.
Successful alternatives included games like Smite, which brought the LoL principle into a third-person perspective, or Rocket League, which focused on an interesting mix of cars and soccer.
In 2016, there was also much commotion around hero shooters when Paladins and Overwatch were released. These two titles have managed to hold on until today, but they are no longer as popular as they were at release.
However, there have also been some flops recently:
What do you think about the new Project Q from Ubisoft? Does the basic idea appeal to you or are there already enough PvP arenas that you have no interest in the game? Feel free to write it in the comments.

The new expansion “Worldslayer” for the loot shooter Outriders has been officially announced, including a trailer. What to expect in the expansion can be found here.
When is the “Worldslayer” expansion coming? The major expansion for Outriders will be released on June 30, 2022. It will be available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, as well as Google Stadia and GeForce NOW.
Pre-order customers will also receive 48 hours of early access.
This was announced in the current Outriders broadcast, after there was initially only a small teaser, now also presented with an official trailer:
Start video
Outriders Worldslayer Reveal-Trailer
New weapons and more skills prepare you for the fresh endgame
What’s included in the DLC? Basically, the expansion continues where Outriders left off: The game continues to rely on brutal shooter action combined with powerful abilities and loot hunting.
Among other things, you can look forward to a new weapon rarity: The “Apocalypse” weapons will be even stronger than the legendary weapons in Outriders – as they come with an extra mod slot. Furthermore, there will be new mods.
However, they will not be easy to obtain: Because the new “Apocalypse” tiers replace the previous challenge ranks and go up to level 40.
All of this is embedded in a new story that revolves around the day of reckoning. The last remnants of humanity left on Enoch face their final end – which of course you want to prevent.
To do this, you must travel through new regions, survive new missions, and further develop your skills.
Ice and snowstorms now plague Enoch. Not only are there new variants of enemies, but also completely new types of foes. As an antagonist, you will face the dark ruler Ereshkigal.
You can unlock a secondary skill tree, which provides your original classes with two subclasses.
Additionally, a new long-term progression system will be introduced, allowing you to enhance endurance, brutality, courage, and anomaly power. This way, your Outriders can become increasingly powerful – even beyond previous limits.
Lastly, there is a significant change to the endgame. Once you have defeated Ereshkigal and her minions, you can face the challenge of Tarya Cratar – but this will be introduced at a later time.
The daily goals in GTA Online are a great way to earn a lot of money. We’ll show you where to find the quests and what you’ll get for completing them.
What are these goals? Every day, each player is assigned three daily goals that they can complete. These are tasks like “Win a race” or “Steal a military vehicle.” The tasks can usually be completed quickly.
Here are the goals: You can find the daily goals by opening the interaction menu and selecting the “Goals” option.
On PC, press the M key
On Xbox, hold the view button
On PlayStation 4 and PS5, hold the touchpad
Why should you do daily goals in GTA Online? Is it worth it?
What the goals provide: Every day, you have three daily goals available. If you complete all three, you will receive 30,000 GTA dollars and 5,000 RP. You can recognize a completed goal by a checkmark in the checkbox.
However, the 30,000 GTA dollars are peanuts in the context of Los Santos, not really worth it at first glance. The daily goals become really lucrative if you stay on them.
If you complete the three daily goals for seven consecutive days, you will receive 150,000 GTA dollars and 20,000 RP. And if you want to win big, there is a further scaling.
If you complete the three daily goals for 28 consecutive days, you will receive a whopping 750,000 GTA dollars and 50,000 RP.
When do new daily goals come? The daily goals change daily around 07:00 AM to 08:00 AM.
You need to consider: For the 7-day and 28-day streaks, you do not need to log in for 7 or 28 consecutive days. Only the days you are online count. You can play on Monday, take Tuesday off, and play again on Wednesday, and Monday + Wednesday will count as two consecutive days.
With little effort, you can earn a lot of money in GTA Online.

Destiny 2 released the latest patch 4.0.1 yesterday. Alongside a few additional bug fixes and optimizations as standard hotfixes, there were also a few changes that nobody expected. MeinMMO has looked into the changes you should definitely know about and why an apparent Trials bug is actually a feature.
During the last Trials weekend, a report circulated in the Destiny 2 community that players could receive an Adept version of the then Trials meta weapon “Shayura’s Wrath” through the “Pass of Confidence”, despite losses.
Players could lose and just keep going. However, what was initially considered a bug that was supposed to be fixed with patch 4.0.1 has now surprisingly turned out to be a future Trials feature in Destiny 2.
Will these changes soon bring more players to the Lighthouse?
This is what Bungie communicated in patch 4.0.1: First of all, Bungie has fixed the issue where Master Trials weapons could drop for seven victories. Previously, obtaining the weapons was only possible if you had a Flawless Ticket.
“It’s not a bug, it’s a feature”: In the same section, the developer also noted that this bug was “ironically” a byproduct of an intended change that Bungie has been working on since the last season.
It is indeed intended that the drop rates for Master weapons in the Trials will be increased for players in the future. Accordingly, the following adjustment results.
Once players have been flawless in a specific week, they now have the chance to earn Adept weapon drops for every Trials ticket that has achieved 7 or more victories while the Flawless Pool is active, regardless of the number of losses. This resets weekly.
This will make it significantly easier to obtain the coveted Master weapons in the “Trials of Osiris”. Additionally, this change is expected to improve the player experience in the future and help the Flawless Pool feel more rewarding.
Besides this change, Bungie has also made other adjustments that players should be aware of. These include several buffs and weapon adjustments, as well as changes to weapon crafting.
Pistol stability improved: If you found the pistol from Savathun’s Throne World “Empirical Evidence” too unstable so far, you should test it again. It has been massively improved in stability and now plays similarly well as the pistol “Breaklight” from the Season of Dawn.
Some weapon perks have been revised: The exclusive raid perk “Lock and Swap”, where you can increase the damage of your weapon if you dealt damage with all equipped weapons within a short time, has also been improved with update 4.0.1.
“Lock and Swap” now grants a damage boost of a whopping 35% instead of 20%.
Bungie has similarly improved the Enhanced perks “Chain Reaction” and “Ready for Anything” to offer more weapon types benefits.
Unfortunately, how exactly these adjustments have been made has not been disclosed. However, it is quite possible that crafting weapons with these perks will have more advantages in the future that still need to be discovered.
The perk “Lock and Swap” on raid weapons has been improved.
Weapon crafting offers more extraction options: Bungie has already begun further adjustments in weapon crafting. Once you have unlocked a resonance weapon, you can now select an additional option for extraction. This now grants you 300x instead of only 200x Neutral Element. This allows you to avoid accumulating soon-to-be-removed crafting materials, such as Powerful or Refined Element. This also means that in the future, you will only need to tune 8 instead of 10 weapons to unlock an Enhanced Perk.
Frames in the inventory provide more clarity: Bungie has also made some visual improvements. Now all items in the inventory that have already reached the maximum limit are marked in a different color.
Bungie is bringing more changes tomorrow: For tomorrow, April 22, players can expect the next wave of changes in the “This Week at Bungie” blog, short TWaB. As Bungie’s community manager informed via Twitter, the TWaB already had over 9000 words and is supposed to include a comprehensive weapon update.
Perhaps this will also bring the nerf for one of the currently most popular exotics:
What do you think of the changes? Have you already noticed the new benefits? And most importantly, how do you feel about the adjustment that more players will soon have access to the coveted Trials loot? Feel free to let us know your opinion in the comments.

Once you have finished the first continent in Lost Ark, you will receive the quest to find all 7 Arks. We will clarify why this can lead to despair and where they are located. Warning: Spoiler alert!
Where are the Arks? At the end of the first continent, the quest “Find the Arks” will accompany you. It tells you relatively little, except that you need to find a total of 7 Arks in Arkesia.
Well, you cannot walk past them. If you follow the main story, which from now on includes light blue quests instead of the usual red-orange ones, the Arks will gradually come into your hands.
With the completion of the local story quests, you will then receive an Ark there:
The locations of the Arks:
In Luterra you will collect the 1st Ark
The 2nd Ark awaits you on the island Tortoyk
Once you have completed the storyline in Arthetine, you will receive the 3rd Ark as a gift
Defeating the demons in Shushire will then grant you the 4th Ark
On the continent Rohendel, you can pick up the 5th Ark
And in Feiton, the 6th Ark awaits at the end of the story
Once you have collected the Arks, they will be stored in Trixion. You can reach this place with the song of Trixion, which you can play from the menu by pressing F2. There you can view all collected Arks.
What’s next? First of all, nothing. Because the task of finding all 7 Arks is currently unsolvable. Lost Ark is an ongoing MMORPG, and its story is not yet finished.
Therefore, at this moment, neither in Korea nor in our version are all 7 Arks in the game, and for now, it is only finished with the 6 available.

The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark
How to hide the quest
Help, the quest is annoying: There are far too many other tasks in Lost Ark to be staring at a quest that simply cannot be solved all the time. But there is a trick for that too:
If you open the quest menu, by default with “J”, you will find the main quest “Find the Arks” under the tab “Arkesia”. If you now remove the yellow check mark from the box on the right side, the quest will disappear from your active tracker. Then you won’t have it constantly stuck on the right side of your screen.
How to hide the quest
When can you complete it? When the 7th Ark will actually come, or when it will be available in our version of Lost Ark, is still unknown. What is certain is that the story should not end with the finding of the 7th Ark.
In an interview, the Game Director of Smilegate, Gold River, confirmed that it must continue afterwards. He jokingly said that he also needs to earn his money somehow. However, he leaves completely open how it continues once the Arks are found. In any case, Lost Ark will accompany us for many years to come.
Every month, around 2 billion people use the video platform YouTube. Among them are numerous content creators in the gaming sector. We at MeinMMO present to you in the following list the top 9 largest gaming YouTubers in Germany.
The top list is based on the following criteria and is current as of April 21, 2022:
The ranking is determined by the number of subscribers

Zack “Asmongold” explained in a past stream why VTubers are intelligent. He also dispels the prejudice that he cannot stand VTubers. Furthermore, there are some well-known personalities who are “unjustifiably” taking advantage of the VTuber tag on Twitch.
What did Asmongold say? Asmongold spoke very positively about female streamers who use an anime-style avatar: “I think it’s funny, I think it’s clever, and I think it’s like a hack for female streamers.”
It’s a hack because many viewers assume that behind such a VTuber there is a “hot girl” and the streamer continued:
Meanwhile, the girl doesn’t have to wear makeup. She’s probably sitting there in a bun, hasn’t showered for 3 days, sits there in sweatpants, but she has this avatar that is a cat girl (…) and yes, obviously that’s a bit like a hack, but no one complains about it.
Asmongold
Furthermore, Asmongold said that he has no idea why people think he is against VTubers. He only finds concerning those who portray underage or even childlike characters, that’s just not his thing.

Big Twitch Streamers exploit the VTuber tag
The area of VTubers is becoming increasingly successful and well-known, so there are many streamers who want to take advantage of it.
What is the VTuber tag? On Twitch, streamers can choose specific themes that stand alongside the main category. This allows users to filter for the topics they want to see.
If you select a corresponding tag, all streamers outside of this tag will be hidden.
Big Twitch streamers exploit tags: Now several VTubers have spoken out, noticing that the tags are being misused by larger streamers. A Twitter user showed the big streamer xQc, who was streaming under the “VTuber” category:
Other well-known personalities such as streamer Amouranth also use the popular tag to gain more attention (via Twitter). Mizkif has also made use of it, and the Twitter user also warned that the improper use of tags violates Twitch’s guidelines (via Twitter).
Does it actually violate Twitch’s guidelines? Yes, it does. Under the section “Content Labeling,” it points out that intentional and extensive abuse of titles, tags, or games/categories is prohibited (via Twitch.tv). However, there have not been any consequences for the streamers so far.
What are additional problems with improper tag usage? Besides the problem that users do not find the desired content, smaller streams are further pushed down. It is already difficult to be discovered on Twitch when larger streams are at the front.
All those who use the VTuber tag are pushing out the real VTubers, making it harder for them to be found. Some also speak of the improper labeling being disrespectful.
In Elden Ring, FromSoftware turned the weapon meta upside down in Patch 1.04. Where katanas once dominated the battlefield, different rules now apply. We show you which weapons you should definitely try out.
What has changed? In Patch 1.04, many things were adjusted. Not only did magic and summons receive buffs, but so did all colossal weapons and many different weapon talents. FromSoftware did not nerf your Blood Builds but created new alternatives that overshadow the old meta.
Players do not have to abandon their Blood Builds with their favorite katana “Bloody Streams”, but can continue to use them profitably without hesitation. Nevertheless, players received better alternatives through the adjustments, allowing the creation of other builds. Therefore, we show you which weapons you should definitely try out.
5 Weapons You Should Definitely Try Out
In this list, we agreed on several types of weapons that benefited from Patch 1.04. We focused on weapons that stood out the most due to the changes. There should be something for various playstyles. Here is our selection:
Morgott’s Cursed Sword
Royal Greatsword
Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear
Greatsword of the Godslayer
Dark Moon Greatsword
We will show you the weapons, what improved after the patch, and where you can find them.
Morgott’s Cursed Sword
An underrated curved sword
What has been improved about the weapon? Morgott’s sword is a good weapon, but the weapon talent’s speed was too slow to compete with other weapons. In Patch 1.04, the speed of the weapon talent was significantly increased.
You can now quickly run towards your opponents, hit them with the Blood Curse Slash, and move back to safety without wasting much time in the animation. Moreover, the large curved sword is especially rewarding for catching fleeing opponents in PvP, as your talent activates faster now.
Where can I find the weapon? The weapon can be obtained from the memory of Morgott, the King of All. You must go to the two fingers in the Roundtable Hold with the memory. Once there, the Finger Reader will be waiting to transform your memories into equipment.
Royal Greatsword
Blaidd’s Greatsword
What has been improved about the weapon? The royal greatsword belongs to the greatsword category. These received a buff in their attack speed and damage in Patch 1.04.
You can hit faster with the greatsword now and are not stuck in a long attack animation. Additionally, the weapon talent “Wolf Attack” has also been sped up. You will execute your forward somersault, followed by the ice storm left behind when drawing the sword, faster. This makes Blaidd’s sword more agile and better in combat.
Where can I find the weapon? You can only obtain the weapon if you follow Ranni’s quest. You must fight against the rampaging Blaidd at a point in your journey, who drops this sword as a reward.
Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear
Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear
What has been improved about the weapon? This sadistic torture instrument also received a buff in the animation of the “Blood Curse Ritual”. You can execute your stabs faster, better dealing with the enemies around you. Additionally, this spear benefits from a widespread bleeding effect, making you a walking killing machine.
Where can I get the weapon? To obtain the weapon, you must kill Mohgwyn, who resides in his blood-soaked palace. After you defeat him, you can go to the Finger Reader at the Roundtable with his memory. She will lend you this spear in exchange.
Greatsword of the Godslayer
An impressive greatsword
What has been improved about the weapon? The Greatsword of the Godslayer can now not only attack faster and deal increased damage, but you can also cancel the animation of your weapon talent.
If you notice during your first fan slash of the black flames that an enemy or boss will hit you, you can dodge before your action. This stops your animation and allows for a more agile combat style.
Since the weapon already utilizes a wide attack surface, this sword becomes a very good option for combat.
Where can I find the weapon? You can find the sword in the Holy Tower of Caelid. There, you must fight against a boss. After defeating your opponent in the tower, you can proceed into a small room containing a chest. The sword is in this chest.
Dark Moon Greatsword
The icy sword of Ranni
What has been improved about the weapon? The Dark Moon Greatsword can now excel with lower FP costs for the weapon talent. If you have enveloped your weapon in ice due to the talent, your attacks will freeze your opponents faster. On top of that, your weapon can now shoot icy projectiles at your enemies more quickly.
Where can I find the weapon? The blade can be found during Ranni’s quest. You need to complete the quest to the end, and you will receive the sword as a completion reward.
Those were our recommendations to you. Nevertheless, there were a large variety of weapons that benefited from Patch 1.04. So don’t be surprised if one of your weapons is not included. Every player has their favorites, we just want to reveal another perspective to you.
What do you think of our list? Did we overlook a gem? Let us know in the comments if you’ve changed your build after the patch or if you still remain loyal to the Bloody Streams.

Player Zakkyyy shared a picture on reddit a few days ago showing his character with a Gearscore of 1,370 in Lost Ark. The remarkable thing is that he hasn’t invested a cent into the game. We at MeinMMO asked him a few questions about this milestone.
What exactly has the player achieved? With his gunlancer, Zakkyyy has reached level 54 and, most importantly, a Gearscore of 1,370. This value is controversially discussed because he is preceded by the so-called “Dead Zone”.
This zone ranges from the value of 1,340 to 1,370 and requires a high grind. Some users skip this grind by exchanging real money for in-game currency and thus purchasing upgrade materials in the auction house.
However, Zakkyyy has been playing since day one without spending real money and has also managed to overcome this dead zone. He had to endure several failures in his upgrades – 155 to be exact. We asked him how long it took.
This is the screenshot shared by Zakkyyy (via reddit).
Nearly 600 Play Hours and Few Additional Characters
How long did he grind? According to Steam, Zakkyyy had a playtime of 595 hours when he achieved this success. However, one must deduct the times spent in queues at release and some AFK time.
Still, he averages 9.3 hours per day online. About 64 days passed between the release and his success.
Aside from his main character, he has only brought one other character to tier 2. His focus was clearly on the gunlancer and not on investing hours into additional twinks.
Start video
The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark
Is he a hardcore player? According to his own statement, he is not. Zakkyyy has been playing MMORPGs for years, including Metin 2, TERA, and Fiesta Online, but has never been a true hardcore player. Even with Lost Ark, he took it relatively easy – at least regarding play style and goals. He has been waiting for the release since 2013 and now wants to experience everything as much as possible.
Those who farm deliberately will also be able to skip the hurdle of 1,370 in Gearscore much faster as a free-to-play player. In reddit, there are also some comments where users say they have already achieved a Gearscore of around 1,395 without spending money and that this is typically in the range of 300 to 400 play hours.
However, Zakkyyy shows that one can also comfortably master the dead zone as long as enough time is invested. Spending real money makes it faster but is not necessarily required.
How is your Gearscore doing? Have you reached this annoying zone yet or are you still much further behind? And how much money have you already invested in Lost Ark? Feel free to share in the comments.
Only today, the new class Lance Master was released in Lost Ark. Here you can find the patch notes:
If you wanted to play the shooter Space Punks, you previously had to purchase an “Early Access” pass. Now, the crazy mix of Borderlands and Diablo is starting its open beta and allowing free access.
What is Space Punks? Space Punks is a colorful multiplayer shooter from the Polish developer studio Flying Wild Hog. The quirky mix of Borderlands and Diablo is played in an isometric perspective.
With up to three teammates, you dive into battle against hordes of enemies consisting of malevolent aliens. You have four different characters to choose from, with which you can hack and slash your way through procedurally generated maps.
What is the isometric perspective? In the isometric perspective, you view the world from a tilted top-down angle. It often serves the purpose of giving players a better overview of the action in video games.
How can you play the open beta? The open beta of the co-op shooter has been available since April 20, 2022. You can download the exciting title from the Epic Games Store.
Since the open beta of Space Punks is free, you only need an Epic account and the Epic Games Launcher to play. How long Space Punks will remain in open beta is currently not known.
Given the description of the title in the Epic Games Store as “free-to-play online co-op ARPG”, it can be expected that Space Punks will also be playable without additional costs after the open beta.

Space Punks zeigt einen abgefahrenen Trailer zur Open Beta
From the alien insect to the humanoid pig
What characters are available? In Space Punks, you have the choice between four different characters:
Duke is an all-rounder, described by MeinMMO editor Jürgen Horn as a mix of Handsome Jack and Star Lord
Eris is a killer who deals damage with her nano-spikes
The technician Bob is an insect-like alien that sets up turrets
Finn is a humanoid pig with a mohawk hairstyle, fulfilling the role of the tank
To find out how Space Punks plays otherwise and what makes the game special, read the detailed review:
Teamwork pays off: Teamwork is an important factor that elevates your gameplay in Space Punks to the next level. This is because each character has two additional heroes with whom they develop particularly good cooperation and synergies.
The pig Finn, for example, grants Bob’s turret a shield when the tank is nearby. Thus, the characters help each other.
The mix of Borderlands and Diablo is an unusual combination that brought us a crazy co-op shooter in the isometric perspective.
With Lost Ark, we only saw another title in recent months that broke out of the confines of its genre and discovered the isometric perspective for itself.
Can you imagine another genre or even a specific game where the perspective would fit?

In Lost Ark the next major patch will be released today, on April 21. Highlights include the new class and a new continent, but there are many small changes in the patch notes that will excite players. We at MeinMMO summarize these and let you know how long the maintenance will last.
Update 1:27 PM: The servers are back online, as the developers announced on Twitter.
A new continent, South Vern, is introduced where the story continues.
A new Power Pass can be earned by players. This instantly boosts your character to item level 960 and completes Feiton if you’ve already done so with a character. Unlike the Vern Power Passes, however, the new Power Pass will expire on June 30.
A new event is starting where characters under item level 1,000 can be equipped faster.
Numerous “Quality of Life” changes, including adjustments to the Secret Maps, new controller settings, and bug fixes.
However, Thunderwings and the Chaos Gate are not included in the patch, which has been mentioned elsewhere. On Twitter it is stated that these will be added later, as many have not yet reached the required gear score.
How long will the maintenance last? The major April update will be deployed starting at 9:00 AM. The servers will also be taken offline for maintenance. The maintenance is expected to take 8 hours, so you can start playing again around 5:00 PM German time.
We will keep you updated in this news if there are any delays or if an earlier start occurs.
Currently, the official patch notes are only available in English. We will adjust them as soon as the German ones are available (via Lost Ark).
New class Glaivier
Practicing an artistic and deadly form of martial arts, the Glaivier slices her way through the battlefield, weaving together attacks with her spear and glaive. The Glaivier has two distinct skill sets which can be swapped between— Focus and Flurry— with each stance and skill set represented by one of her two weapons. The shorter spear is used to unleash a furious barrage in the Focus stance, while the longer glaive harnesses the Flurry stance for gracefully lethal strikes and sweeping attacks. While certain builds may focus your attention onto one of these weapons, an effective Glaivier can maximize their potential by creating balance between the two stances, building up energy in one stance which grants an impactful stat-boost when swapping to the other. Learn more about the Glaivier in the latest Lost Ark Academy.
New continent South Vern
Discover and explore a new region of Arkesia with the introduction of South Vern. The settlers of South Vern borrowed technology from many different races to turn this once-barren land into a place of abundant waters and green pastures. Hearing rumors of the dangers that plagued North Vern, the Senate shut South Vern down and formed a new knightly order. Suspecting that something was amiss, Ealyn, the Queen of Vern ordered Knight Commander Avele to investigate. What could be happening to this peaceful continent? Uncover the mysteries of South Vern as you venture into this new region, encounter new characters, and complete quests. The South Vern storyline will conclude in an epic battle, with the power to shift the future of Arkesia. South Vern will join Punika as the second Tier 3 continent, requiring an item level of 1340 to begin.
In addition to the storyline, South Vern will include the normal difficulty of the new Chaos Line activity. The South Vern Chaos Dungeons, Field Boss, and Chaos Gate will be added in a future update, when more players have reached the minimum item level required to participate (1415). We apologize for an earlier communication stating that Thunderwings and the Chaos Gate would be available.
Event – April 21 to June 30
Feiton Power Pass
Players will receive a Feiton Power Pass after completing Feiton’s main story quest “Will” during the event period, or, if you’ve already finished the quest before the update, you’ll get the Power Pass when the event starts! The Feiton Power Pass will function like the Vern Power Passes available to players in the launch version of Lost Ark— once you’ve completed the storyline through that continent, you’ll be able to use it to bring an alternate character to that point in the game. With a Feiton Power Pass, you’ll receive level 960 gear. This is an event Power Pass that will expire on June 30.
Express Mission Event
This new event will allow players to select one of their characters at combat level 50 that’s under item level 1000 to do “Express Missions”. That character will be granted level 302 gear, and have an opportunity to complete express and bonus missions for significant honing and progression rewards. The missions will be split up into four sections, corresponding to the major continents found in Tier 1 and Tier 2 (North Vern, Rohendel, Yorn, and Feiton), each granting an abundance of materials relevant to that tier to help players progress, such as silver, honing materials, major potions, Engravings, and much more.
For newer players, we hope this helps them catch up to friends while still learning Tier 1 & 2 and the game modes within them. For players already in Tier 3, this event can be used to quickly level up a new alternate character (maybe a new Glaivier?). Completing all the missions will grant a very impactful reward – so make sure to take advantage of this event while it’s around! Like the Feiton Power Pass, the Express Mission Event will be around until June 30.
Shop Updates
Ark Pass
The Ark Pass adds new ways for players to earn meaningful rewards just by playing Lost Ark. With the Ark Pass, players can complete missions to progress their Ark Pass levels— and with each level you reach, you’ll earn rewards. The regular Ark Pass is completely free, and grants a variety of helpful rewards, such as honing material selection chests, pirate coins, and even a mount! In addition to the regular, free Ark Pass, players can purchase two additional levels— Premium & Super Premium— that add additional rewards to the rewards track. Ark Pass progress is roster wide.
The Premium Ark Pass will add additional rewards at every level that players will earn alongside the free rewards. Some examples include more honing material selection chests, gems, rapport chests, and a Vertus Pet! On top of the Regular & Premium rewards, the Super Premium Ark Pass layers in selection chests for the Noble Banquet skin collection, the Noble Banquet Wallpaper, and some legendary rapport chests throughout the 30 levels of the Ark Pass.
The Premium pass can be acquired in exchange for 1,500 Royal Crystals, and the Super Premium (all rewards + Noble Banquet skins) for 3,000 Royal Crystals. The Premium and Super Premium Ark Passes will be available in the in-game store until June 18, and progress can be earned until July 14.
General Store Updates
Glaivier special packages have been added, including the Graceful Monkey skin set. The Noble Banquet skin collection has also been added to the in-game store for players interested in purchasing separately from the Premium Ark Pass.
A few other minor store updates will take place in the April Update. Some item quantities have been adjusted in Mari’s Secret Shop, and a few new Crystal bundles are available in the in-game store.

To unlock certain weapons or complete challenges, you are presented with specific tasks in the free Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone. Sometimes, it’s not very clear what is actually meant by this – like with ADS kills.
What are ADS kills? This refers to kills made through your sight.
In contrast, there are hip-fire kills. If the task is “Hipfire kills”, then you must not aim down sights.
To unlock the “Cold War” MP LAPA, you need ADS kills.
What does ADS stand for? The abbreviation stands for “Aim Down Sight” and every time you read ADS in attachments or challenges, it refers to your sight.
The more common term is actually the English abbreviation “ADS” – Aim Down Sight. In German, ADS has become ADS.
Why is this important? One of the most important values in Call of Duty is the ADS speed. This value determines how quickly you are fully aimed down sights.
Especially in close and medium range fights, a high ADS speed can save you from the Gulag. Even at longer distances, it pays off to pay attention to this value – so that weapons do not aim down sights at a snail’s pace.
Many attachments offer strong bonuses but reduce your ADS speed. Often recoil & range and ADS speed & mobility are competing factors. You need to find a good balance for yourself.
When it comes to translations from the original English to German in Call of Duty, there are often interesting results. Therefore, on MeinMMO, you will usually find the English attachments along with the weapon setups for Vanguard weapons.
The huge Twitch streamer Adin Ross has now been permanently banned from the platform after several bans. Rumors are running rampant, as the exact reason for the ban is not entirely clear. However, it seems that he was not even live during the guideline violation.
Who is Adin Ross?
Adin Ross was among the top 20 streamers on Twitch and currently has over 20,000 subscribers on his channel. At his peak, he had over 71,000 subscribers.
His streams attracted an average of over 43,000 viewers, while Ross was live about four times a week.
Through GTA 5, NBA 2K, and casino streams, he was able to build a following of over 5.8 million people.
Adin Ross has reportedly been permanently banned from Twitch due to a homophobic remark.

The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused a lot of commotion
Adin Ross was reportedly banned permanently due to a phone call
Why was Adin Ross apparently banned? This is not 100% confirmed, but many believe that the streamer was banned because he used an insult against homosexuals.
This did not happen during his own livestream, but while he was on the phone with his streamer friend yourragegaming – who was live at the time. In the tweet, you can watch the clip with the homophobic remark:

After the remark, yourragegaming reacted with babble to drown out the utterance and immediately muted his microphone. The clip went viral over the course of a week and may have led to Adin Ross’s ban. Previously, the streamer had received 4 bans – the 5th is likely now his last.
What does Adin Ross say about it? He commented on Twitter, but deleted the tweet shortly afterward. He stated that he did not know why he was permanently banned from Twitch and attached screenshots from the platform’s email. A Twitter user captured the streamer’s tweet in a screenshot:

What were the reasons according to Twitch? The platform cites hateful insults or symbols as the reason. Furthermore, the violation of the guidelines took place in a stream or VOD. These justifications would confirm the community’s suspicions, and the phone call during the live stream with yourragegaming could definitely be the reason for the permanent ban.
yourragegaming is now trying to protect his buddy on Twitter and wrote under the clip that it wasn’t actually Adin Ross on the phone, but a friend from high school. However, he received mockery for this, and the community responded that you can clearly hear that’s Adin Ross.
Adin Ross still has an inactive YouTube channel with 871,000 subscribers. Maybe this is the right opportunity to revive it.
The fans of World of Warcraft long for housing. But it is missing in the new expansion Dragonflight. However, there is hope, as the WoW lead explains.
The announcement of World of Warcraft Dragonflight was received quite well by many players. A somewhat calmer setting, dragons as the focus, and a lot of minor improvements as well as a completely new class. But during the announcement, it quickly became clear that one feature would likely remain just a wish: player housing.
The longing for a home in Azeroth is no longer just a small wish from a splinter group. In a survey a few days ago, “player housing” even landed in 2nd place of the most desired features.
In an interview with Game Director Ion Hazzikostas, the YouTuber and streamer Hazel (“Hazelnuttygames”) asked a question about exactly this topic. The desire for player housing is great. How is it decided whether such a feature will be included in an expansion or not?
Hazzikostas took the time to respond in detail and also provide some insights:
Player housing is a topic that comes up very often in the team. There is a lot of support for it in the community and also in our team. It is something that many of us would love.
When we compile the features for an expansion, it is a mix of “What fits thematically with the expansion”, “What will appeal to different types of players”, but also: “What would be necessary to create this feature at the level that players expect and deserve?” And: “What would we have to give up to make that possible?“
This “giving up” seems to be the big factor here, as a housing feature would likely consume thousands of hours of work that could not be spent on other features. Housing would require a lot of resources – not only pure developer work but also many employees from the art team, who would need to create textures and models for countless objects.

Player housing is a big thing. It is one of those things, if we want to get it right … it is a big project, a huge undertaking. I would say, if we do it, it would span multiple expansions. It is such a large feature …
Hazzikostas then interrupts himself and refers to an earlier feature – the garrisons. Some players viewed them as a kind of “housing light”, but not everyone was happy.
During the garrisons, back in Warlords of Draenor. Honestly, due to resource constraints, we were limited and constrained to say: “This is the Alliance Garrison” and “This is the Horde Garrison”.
And people back then said: “Well, but I am a blood elf. I want cool Silvermoon architecture in my garrison. Why can’t I have that?”
And the answer to that was, I mean, that was the original “That costs you a raid tier” joke – but honestly, that was true. It would simply take so many thousands of hours to do that.
That is what player housing must be, if and when we do it. The dream is still alive. It is something we want to do. But it is nothing we will do with Dragonflight.
Even though it is naturally disappointing that no housing is coming to World of Warcraft with Dragonflight – the developers regularly discuss this topic and the desire in the community is growing. Maybe one of the upcoming expansions will finally bring a place where our heroes can return after their work.
The hope dies last, as they say.
