Dead by Daylight doubles the bloodpoints. This is not only worthwhile for veterans, but also for newcomers it is the perfect opportunity.
Update 04/14/2022: The event has changed. Instead of double bloodpoints, there are 100,000 bloodpoints for login every day.
Original story: Easter is just around the corner and with it the time begins in Dead by Daylight to hunt colorful eggs nasty survivors. The developers want to give you a little more incentive to play as killers or survivors during the Easter holidays. Bloodpoints are raining again, allowing all players to make significant progress much more quickly.
A leak reveals that a “Blood Hunt” is coming up in the next few days. So far, the leak account “DbDLeaks” on Twitter has always been right – and the timing also sounds plausible. However, keep in mind that an official announcement is still pending.

What kind of event is this? At more or less regular intervals, Dead by Daylight hosts a so-called “Blood Hunt”. During this event, the acquisition of bloodpoints is doubled for all players. This applies to all bloodpoints that you can earn during a match.
Exceptions to the bonus are bloodpoints that you receive through quests, challenges, or codes.
How long does the “Blood Hunt” last? The event runs over the entire Easter weekend, from April 14th to April 18th. You can benefit from the increased bloodpoints for this duration and stock up properly – either for immediate new unlocks or with the next new killer and survivors.
Why is this particularly good for newcomers? The entry into Dead by Daylight is relatively tough. This is not only due to the many subtleties and details that you only learn over hundreds of hours of gameplay but also because of the grind that is initially necessary. Most strong perks are tied to specific characters and are only accessible through unlocking for all characters. This unlocking is done through bloodpoints – so receiving double the amount is a pretty strong bonus for beginners.
Of course, the double bloodpoints are also worthwhile for veterans who want to complete their perk collection or unlock some of the particularly bloody “Prestige” skins.
Are the bonuses combinable? Yes. The 100% additional bloodpoints can be combined with all other bloodpoint bonuses. So if you also use offerings or perks that increase your bloodpoint gain, then that can be combined and increases your bloodpoints even further.
Keep in mind that the bonuses are additive and not multiplicative.
Will you catch some survivors over Easter or try to escape the killer? Or can such an event not excite you?

Bayern Munich has been eliminated from the Champions League. This also has an impact on FIFA 22 Ultimate Team for some fans.
What happened in real football: On Tuesday evening, April 12, Bayern Munich unexpectedly exited the Champions League.
After the German record champions had already fallen behind 0:1 against the Spanish FC Villarreal in the first leg, the 1:1 in the second leg was not enough to advance to the next round.
Although Robert Lewandowski had given Bayern the lead, which would have been enough for extra time, a second goal to turn things around just wouldn’t come – on the contrary. Samu Chukwueze completed a counter-attack just before the final whistle to make it 1:1 – leading to Bayern’s elimination from the competition.
This is also noticeable in FIFA 22: Two expensive, strong Bayern cards in Ultimate Team were directly tied to the result of the match.

Bayern’s RTTF cards in FIFA 22 crash
These are the cards: In Ultimate Team, there are so-called “Road-to-the-Final” cards. These cards get better the further the player’s team progresses in the real Champions League. Bayern has two: Corentin Tolisso and Lucas Hernández.
Both cards are strong, but there are no further upgrades
Both cards are strong, but a large part of their high price was due to the prospect of further upgrades. Many players had seen Bayern as the favorites against Villarreal – and must now face a significant drop in value.
The prices on the PlayStation transfer market are currently as follows (via futbin):
Tolisso’s card peaked at about 280,000 coins and already crashed to about 210,000 coins after the first leg. Since the elimination, he is now only at 74,000 coins (as of April 13, 2022).
Hernández once cost over 700,000 coins, then dropped to about 500,000. After last night’s defeat, he now stands at “only” 230,000 coins.
In both cases, while the prices might rise again in the coming days – after all, they are still good cards – the shock of the defeat has given the prices a significant blow.
“And suddenly I have, just like that, a 90-rated fodder,” writes a user in the FIFA subreddit (via reddit). In FIFA, “fodder” refers to players who no longer fit into one’s own team but are only used as material for Squad Building Challenges.
“Mine went directly into the Lahm SBC,” writes another user (via reddit). That was just unlocked in the FUT Captain event.
“Literally the only damn RTTF card I had was Tolisso. And Bayern managed to lose. I didn’t even check the halftime score, so I couldn’t sell at the 1:0 hype,” writes user akira136 (via reddit).
At the same time, there is criticism that FC Villarreal did not receive any RTTF card from EA – despite the fact that the club has already eliminated Juventus Turin during the current Champions League season.
What else is going on in FIFA 22? In addition to the ongoing Captains event, there will also be a new update in FIFA 22. Everything about Title Update 9 in FIFA 22 can be found here.

Twitch streamer Alpharad played Pokémon with his community in the stream, but then went to sleep. The viewers continued – and meanwhile they hatched him a rare monster using chat commands.
What happened in the stream? Alpharad played a format called Twitch-Plays-Pokémon in the stream. In the game, viewers can control the game with chat commands. With certain commands, they can for example make the character run.
As it got later, Alpharad decided to go to sleep. To allow his viewers to continue playing without having to interrupt because of him, he stayed live and let the game continue.
Alpharad’s viewers, who were playing the “Pokémon Crystal” edition, received a so-called Odd Egg in the meantime. They then hatched the egg and got a rare Shiny Pii.
On Twitter, Alpharad shared a video of the stream where the successful hatching of the Shiny Pii can be seen:
Alpharad shares the clip of the hatching via Twitter
Why is the Pokémon so rare?
The rarity of Shiny Pii: The Pokémon hatched through the chat is a Shiny Pii. Shinys or shiny Pokémon are common Pokémon in unusual colors that differ from the normal case.
Shiny Pokémon are considered very rare and are therefore coveted by many Pokémon players. The chance of obtaining a shiny Pokémon from an Odd Egg is increased and is at 14%.
Nonetheless, Alpharad can consider himself lucky. The chance of getting a Shiny Pii from the Odd Egg is only 3% (via Bulbapedia.net).
Shiny Pokémon are rare and coveted beings in the world of pocket monsters. It is indeed something special to own one or even several.
Since April 12, the Spring Event has been online in Pokémon GO. Just in time for the upcoming Easter festivities, you have the chance to benefit from new spawns and bonuses, alongside Shiny ones. MeinMMO author Franzi reveals what you need to know about the Spring Event of Pokémon GO.
Rabbits are a good source to quickly acquire food in New World. During the ongoing Easter event, these rabbits even become real killers and provide good loot. We reveal where you can find rabbits everywhere.
Where can you find rabbits in New World? Rabbits can basically be found everywhere in the game world, often hidden in the grass. Those who keep their eyes open will find a rabbit sooner or later.
However, there are also special rabbit spawn points in the world where an entire colony can sit together. These spawn points are particularly interesting for the currently ongoing Easter event, as you can earn new items and Diamond Gypsum through them.
These are the large rabbit spawns in New World
Where is the rabbit spawn in the Unstable Coast? The spawn point in the Unstable Coast is likely one of the most famous in the game. You can easily find it just north of the town, and it is even marked as a spawn point on the map because there is the Rabbit Island.
Where is the rabbit spawn in Everfall? In Everfall, many rabbits simply appear around the town. There, you just have to wander through the grass. Another popular spawn point is to the left in the area Torn Coast:
Where is the rabbit spawn in First Light? In First Light, you can find some rabbits directly north of the settlement:
Where is the rabbit spawn in Brightwood? In Brightwood, you need to follow the road from the settlement southbound. At the Uncanny, there is a larger rabbit spawn.
Where is the rabbit spawn in Weaver’s Fen? In Weaver’s Fen, you need to go into the triangle of Brackwater and Unstable Coast. There, you can also find some rabbits.
Do you know any other good places to farm rabbits? And what do you think of the new Easter event? Feel free to write it in the comments.
Since the release, we have been accompanying New World with news, opinions, and guides. You can find all important guides for beginners and pros here:
On April 14, the weekly update of Lost Ark will be released, but players are already disappointed. Although the developers are accommodating fans, many players feel the lack of content. We at MeinMMO summarize.
Update 12:20: Surprisingly early and already after about 3.5 hours, the servers are back online. Originally, an 8-hour maintenance was announced.
What’s in the update? This week, the weekly update of Lost Ark is once again a bit smaller than we are used to. Nevertheless, the patch brings new gifts for you in the MMORPG and extends the login rewards for this month.
With this, Amazon and Smilegate respond to a discussion that flared up this week in the forum and on reddit. Players felt punished by the fact that there are too few gifts for their taste.
Otherwise, the update leaves much to be desired. Neither the still incorrect in-game clock was fixed, nor do new contents find their way into the game.
You can find the full content of today’s update here:
Some preparations are being made in the backend of the MMORPG to prepare the game for the contents of the coming weeks.
The login event is being extended by one week and 6 new rewards, and now ends on April 21.
The 6 rewards consist of a total of 500,000 silver, 3 combat item chests, 30 Phoenix feathers, 2x fusion material boxes, 3x jump essences, and 5 tickets to complete daily tasks immediately.
The update has received little support in the community so far. Because the bug that shows incorrect event times since the clock change in Lost Ark will not be fixed this week either. However, it was announced in the patch two weeks ago that work is being done on it. Furthermore, many players were expecting the new class and the new continent.
How long will the maintenance last? The servers will be taken offline at 9:00 AM German time and are expected to be offline for 8 hours. So you can only start again at 5:00 PM at the earliest.
We will keep you updated on the maintenance work in this article.
What do the fans say? Under the tweet announcing the update, the very first reactions to the patch notes are not very positive. Many fans are upset that the clock bug has still not been fixed. However, most players are more annoyed that the big April update is also not coming this week.
However, some players have hope that the patch next week will finally introduce the new class, the Lance Bearer, into the game. Users had this hope for this week as well because many expected that with the end of the login event, the big update would come. Since this update has been postponed by a week, some players are now expecting the patch next week.
Others praise Amazon for improving the game, even if in small steps, every week. They argue that you can’t expect something super exciting every week.

MightyKaseroo writes: ‘Oh man, this post is getting so much hate, I should have gotten popcorn. But let’s be fair, none of us thought they would release the April update in the last week of April.’
Eike sees it more positively: ‘Then at least I have more time to farm materials for my Lance Bearer, that’s nice too. I can hardly wait for the end of the month.’

Lost Ark has a Battle Pass in Korea and shows in a new developer video that it might soon come to us in the western version. We would like to know what you think about a Battle Pass and have created a survey for this.
What is the Battle Pass all about? In a video about the new season in Lost Ark, the text for a Battle Pass is briefly shown in the menu. Additionally, there are several places where the Ark Pass is visible. It is very likely that this refers to the same content.
The Battle Pass for the western version is unlikely to be a big surprise. Because there is already a Battle Pass in Korea, even in three versions:
A free version.
A premium version for around 20 euros.
A super premium version, which includes 500 additional blue crystals, an exclusive outfit, and a weapon skin. The pass costs around 50 euros.
The pass has 30 levels that you can climb by completing various tasks. Every 5 levels, there is a particularly interesting reward, such as a skin, a card pack, or exclusive pets.
The Ark Pass is visible here.
What tasks await in the Battle Pass? To reach new levels, you need to complete tasks that you would mostly do anyway, including:
Complete a raid
Do a dungeon
Kill bosses
This is primarily about additional rewards for completing typical tasks in the MMORPG.
Will you buy the Battle Pass? Since the pass has already caused considerable discussion in previous news, we would like to know from you now whether you will buy the Battle Pass or not.
You can cast your vote as usual in the survey tool below. Everyone has only one vote and the choice cannot be undone:
So tell us: What is your opinion on the Battle Pass? What speaks for or against it for you? How do you see the general development of Battle Passes in service games? Feel free to write this in the comments.
The Battle Pass is currently not part of the roadmap. This provides an outlook on the contents in April and May:
Since the release of CoD Vanguard, one of the biggest criticisms from the community has been the poor spawns. The latest update is supposed to finally improve this – yet the players are not satisfied. They demand even more improvements for the entire game. MeinMMO tells you more.
On the evening of April 12, Sledgehammer Games, the developer of CoD Vanguard, introduced a long-awaited improvement to the WW2 shooter.
After some test playlists and a survey, they have adjusted the spawn system in the game. On Twitter, the developers write that “with your feedback and the data we were able to analyze from the game, the spawn adjustments have proven to be an improvement”:

These changes were previously only implemented in experimental playlists. Now they have been rolled out across the entire game.
However, the community is not satisfied. On social media, they complain that the spawns are still poor – and that the game has many other issues. They are calling for significantly more changes in the game.
Vanguard has “the worst spawn system in CoD history”
What is the problem? Players who have been killed in CoD Vanguard often spawn too close to an enemy for their next life. This frequently leads to a “death spiral,” where one death leads directly into the next, leaving the player unable to properly defend themselves.
Even before the release of CoD Vanguard, the spawn system was one of the biggest points of criticism. Players referred to it as “likely the worst spawn system in CoD history” (via reddit).
This clip from the perspective of a user suffering from poor spawns illustrates how bad it can be:

Especially on small maps like Das Haus and Shipment, the spawns are an incredibly annoying problem. According to the developers, the latest update is supposed to help here, but the players are not convinced.
How is the community reacting? There is hardly any praise for the change in the community. Instead, there is a lot of disbelief that anything has actually improved:
@darryljoyzce1 says on Twitter: “Yeah, no, nothing has improved. The spawns for Das Haus and Shipment are still completely messed up.”
@JONNYTEE2010 says: “What a joke, I’m literally playing 4v4 on Dome and still spawning in front of or behind people, every update makes it worse.”
@freebandztrev writes: “lol try harder, I’m still a monster and destroying people at spawn.”
The developers’ analysis tools apparently show that the latest update is supposed to have brought improvements. But skeptical comments like these from the community reveal that not much has changed for the fans during gameplay.
There is also a lot of criticism about many other aspects of the game. Instead of praise for the changes, players are demanding improvements for latency issues, weapon balancing, or map rotations.
Cheating is also a major point of criticism. Here, the community desires a better solution, as unfair cheaters are present even at the highest level. Recently, a well-known player was exposed:
The last 4th challenge in the raid “Oath of the Student” was in Destiny 2 and players could secure another extra loot box. MeinMMO explains what the challenge “Loop Catalyst” is and especially how to master the challenge optimally.
What is a raid challenge? Each raid in Destiny 2 is already a demanding group activity and part of the endgame. Players face tricky puzzles together, overcome jumping passages, to ultimately defeat the final boss. This promises prestigious weapons and armor that can only be found there.
For those who find this already reasonable challenge not enough, they can face a so-called challenge or challenge in a raid every week. While they still include the classic raid mechanics, they also restrict certain playstyles. Depending on which challenge is currently active, one often has to adjust their playstyle slightly to master it.
All challenges usually take place in a specific raid encounter or phase. In the raid “Oath of the Student”, there are a total of four such encounters – the jumping passages are usually excluded from the challenges. They rotate every week but not in random order.
How to succeed in the challenge “Loop Catalyst”
This is the fourth encounter with the final boss: If you plan to play the raid challenge “Loop Catalyst”, your goal is the fourth phase in the raid “Oath of the Student”, which is at Rhulk, the final boss of the raid.
Previously, you had to pick up special bounties from Hawthorne for this, but that has changed. The challenge is automatically active at the start of the raid. You will see the corresponding information about which challenge is currently active at the bottom left when you start the raid. Additionally, MeinMMO will also inform you in the Destiny 2 weekly resets in the future.
Here’s how to succeed in the challenge: To complete the challenge “Loop Catalyst”, your team must maintain at least one stack of the buff “Siphoning Strength” before the damage phase on Rhulk.
Seen this way, it’s not really a big challenge, as this is already part of the usual strategy for most teams. The challenge can even be completed quite easily in a 3-player fireteam as long as the Guardian distributing the buff maintains it at any time.
If it fails nevertheless, you will see the notification “Challenge failed”. To try again, you can all die and the encounter will restart.
In this video, you can see the completion of the challenge “Loop Catalyst”, and Destiny 2 player IPhiniX will give you some tips:

How to secure the 4th challenge in the raid Oath of the Student
Tips for the challenge
Even if it sounds simple, we still have a few tips for you. You should proceed carefully when sharing the buff, as the final boss likes to focus its gaze on the center while you are on the plate.
Your raid team should keep an eye on the buff timers and always try not to die when you have your “Siphoning Strength” active. Especially in the first part of the encounter, this will be important, as you may need longer than the 45 seconds duration of the buff.
Once the final boss Rhulk starts climbing the stairs, you can execute your normal final boss strategy. Basically, that’s all you need to pay attention to, so it can be said that “Loop Catalyst” is one of the easiest raid challenges in Oath of the Student.
All challenges from the raid “Oath of the Student”:
What do you get as a reward? If you successfully complete the challenge, there’s bonus loot and it’s worth it. In addition to the standard chest at the end of the encounter, another box will appear after a short time. This also contains high-end gear. So you should always try to carry the challenges in the raid.
In Destiny 2, you can slightly influence the desired loot, as each encounter offers very specific loot.
With the final boss Rhulk, after a successful run, you have a chance at the raid exotic “Group Pressure”, an exotic pulse rifle.
Additionally, these weapons and armor can also drop in the final encounter:
Pulse rifle “Deceitful”, the glaive “Lubrae’s Ruin”, and the grenade launcher “Aftermath”
Armor: “Resonance Fury” helmet, “Resonance Fury” gauntlets, and the “Resonance Fury” mark.
You can find an overview of all available weapons and armor in the raid here:
Do you enjoy such challenges to get extra loot? Or is just the normal run enough for you? If you have already mastered the challenge “Loop Catalyst”, we would be pleased if you share your experiences and let us know in the comments how difficult you found this challenge.

In Destiny 2 there are new challenges in the current raid “The Oryx’s Curse”. We explain to you what that is exactly and, above all, how to master the 3rd challenge “Defense Failure”.
What is a raid challenge? All raids in Destiny 2 are a demanding group activity and thus belong to the endgame. Players face tricky puzzles in raids, overcome jumping passages, to ultimately kill the toughest bosses, who drop prestigious weapons and armor.
For those who find that not enough, they can take on a so-called challenge in a raid. These challenges still include the classic raid mechanics but also restrict certain play styles, so that you often have to adjust your team tactics to master them.
All challenges typically occur in a specific raid encounter or a phase. In the raid “Oryx’s Curse” there are a total of four such encounters – the jumping passages are excluded.
These weapons are available in the raid “Oryx’s Curse”.
How to succeed in the challenge “Defense Failure”
This is the third encounter: The raid challenge “Defense Failure” takes place in the third phase of the Witch Queen raid “The Oryx’s Curse” at the relics.
Previously, you had to pick up special bounties from Hawthorne for this, but that has changed. The challenge is active automatically when starting the raid. You will see the corresponding information at the bottom left when you start the raid.
To specifically complete the challenge “Defense Failure”, you may only kill one Taken Knight with your relic. If that fails, you will get the message “Challenge Failed”. To try again, you can simply let everyone die to restart the encounter.
To give you a visual idea of how the challenge “Defense Failure” is completed and works, we recommend the video from IPhiniX.

The challenge can be easily managed if you have already determined the “runners” and their order before starting the phase. So, coordinate when it’s your turn to kill a knight. For this, you need to swap the laser artifact in the various rooms once each to defeat the knights and master the challenge.
Players also report a total of seven knights that can spawn, but each member of the fireteam may only eliminate one knight. So, in this case, you need to leave one knight alive and proceed through the next rooms.
What is the reward? If you successfully master the challenge, there is bonus loot. Besides the standard chest at the end of the encounter, another chest will appear after a short time. This one also contains top-tier equipment. It’s worth taking on the effort.
Since each encounter offers you special loot, this means that for this challenge you can earn either the “Resonance Fury” chest piece or the boots, or you get the submachine gun “Subjugation” and the fusion rifle “Redemption”.
Do you like taking on such challenges for extra loot, or do you prefer a normal run? If you have already completed the challenge, we would be happy if you share your experiences in the comments and let us know how difficult you found this challenge.

Currently, a player in the Elden Ring community is particularly celebrated. This player has named themselves “Let me solo her” in the game, which means something like “Let me kill her alone” in German. They have taken it upon themselves to take down Malenia, one of the toughest bosses, for other players – Alone, naked, and wearing only a pot on their head.
What kind of boss is this? Malenia is one of the hardest bosses in the late game of the action RPG:
Malenia has very fast and powerful attack combos that can be deadly with just a few hits.
Additionally, she restores her own health with hits.
As if that wasn’t enough, she has a second phase, where she replenishes her health.
Then her attack pattern also changes, and she attacks you with the status effect Scarlet Rot.
Many players have trouble with her. But the player Klein Tsuboi has made it his mission to help them. As “Let me solo her” he not only stands by other players.
He kills Malenia solo, without armor, and only with a pot on his head. The community is already celebrating him as a legend, his video has gained a lot of attention on reddit .
Here you can see him kill Malenia without taking damage while two other players watch:

Naked warrior kills Malenia for others – “A champion among men”
Why is this so special? Aside from the fact that the boss is already considered difficult, Klein Tsuboi makes it even harder for himself.
Because without armor, he can’t take much damage. Moreover, the health points of bosses scale with the number of co-op partners. Thus, Malenia can withstand significantly more than she would otherwise.
As the video shows, Klein Tsuboi has no problem with Malenia’s attack pattern. He manages to avoid taking any damage throughout the entire fight.
This way he can gradually add frost and bleed damage to Malenia. He himself writes:
If you have played Elden Ring and tried to fight Malenia on PC, you may have encountered a summon named “Let me solo her”. I have helped countless tarnished defeat Malenia by going in naked except for a pot on my head. […] My sign will always be down for desperate tarnished.
This is how players react to his idea: The community is hard on Klein Tsuboi. A commenter on YouTube, for example, DaitoByte writes: “A champion among men. A hero in the dark. Legends are told of the man who wears nothing but a pot and wields two blades. The goddess of rot can only flee from the one who bears the name: Let me solo her!”
Many in the community are happy when players take such measures to support others. They also praise how easily he takes down Malenia.
On reddit OneOfManyDucks writes: “Is that it? Is that the legendary “git gud” that people talk about?” To which realfakedoors000 responds: “This man is born ‘gud’.”
shidmaster64 reminisces about a similar hero: “This guy reminds me of a guy when WoW first came out. A player named Swampy, an orc warrior, […] helped newbies and warded off alliance gankers. A true hero.”
Players also exchange their own stories and experiences in Elden Ring, discussing how to overcome certain areas or which tactics and builds work particularly well.
Klein Tsuboi’s post has now received over 1400 comments and around 29,000 upvotes (as of April 13, 12:57 PM). His YouTube video is also extremely successful and has over 85,000 views. Normally, his uploads there receive only a few clicks; his last video is 2 years old. Now the YouTuber has probably gained many new fans.

Today, the new Patch 1.4.2 is released for New World. This includes the new event “The Revenge of the Rabbits”, where you can earn gypsum, reward chests, and a new item for more luck in the game. Additionally, an exploit with a dungeon boss has been fixed.
What kind of patch is this? The update 1.4.2 is a small patch that focuses primarily on the event and important bug fixes. The main ones are:
An exploit with the bosses Neishatun and Isabella in the new dungeon Heart of the Stormwinds has been fixed. There, players could bypass the boss mechanics by lying down or entering a certain area where they could not be hit.
New measures have been implemented to prevent players from entering a restricted arena.
A bug has been fixed that caused elemental plants to not drop the correct resources when harvested.
When are the changes in the game? The maintenance for the patch began today, April 12th, at 8:00 AM. A first patch was rolled out at 12:00 PM. It is approximately 700 MB in size. However, the servers are still offline.

Killer Rabbits Raid New World for Two Weeks
What is behind the rabbit event? This special Easter event is expected to remain active for about two weeks. Since the launch of New World, players have repeatedly killed rabbits, but now these are said to want revenge on the players.
The rabbits have been tainted by Azoth and have become stronger. This somewhat resembles the turkey event in November. They are found in all areas and can usually be taken down with one hit. You can find all important spawn points here:
What rewards are there? You can look forward to three rewards that can be dropped by the rabbits:
Corrupted Hare’s Feet, an enchanted consumable that grants players additional luck for 40 minutes when used. You can get 5 of these per day
Corrupted Bunny Storage Chest, a rare item that increases housing inventory capacity by 1,050. You can receive a maximum of one per account, and it is not tradable.
What do you think of the idea of this bunny event? Or how do you generally feel about New World? You can find an overview of what has changed in New World since its release here:
In FIFA 22 the Title Update 9 will be released. This brings some new features to the game, but it also removes all Russian teams, as EA had announced.
When will Title Update 9 come to FIFA 22? Title Update 9 was announced via Twitter for “soon”. However, this currently applies only to PC. On consoles, players will have to wait a few more days before the update is ready for download.
Typically, it can take up to a week for the latest updates to also be available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
With Title Update 9, the following steps will be taken:
The selection of the favorite club has been changed to PSG if the Russian national team or another Russian team was previously selected.
The stadium of Spartak Moscow will be removed.
The selection of arena players and goalkeepers has been changed to PSG players if players from the Russian national team or another Russian team were previously selected.
In career mode, the Russian national team and other Russian clubs can no longer be chosen in new careers. They will also no longer appear as opponents in competitions.
In Pro Clubs, jerseys and stadium items will be changed if they were selected.
Some of the changes will be activated with a server update. However, that is not everything that Title Update 9 includes.
Patch Notes: What Title Update 9 brings to FIFA 22
What’s also in Title Update 9: Among other things, the update will affect the CONMEBOL content. Among other things, the competition structure for both the Libertadores and Sudamericana competitions in career mode will be updated.
In addition, clubs that qualified for the group stage of both competitions in 2022 will be added, and the rosters will be adjusted. However, these contents will only be activated after a server update.
In Pokémon GO the Spring event is currently running, and it brings you modified contents in the 2-km eggs. Now trainers on reddit show how rare the best Pokémon from these eggs really are. We at MeinMMO took a look at this and show it to you.
Which Pokémon is it about? Since April 12, the Spring event has been running in Pokemon GO. In this event, you can encounter not only some new spawns and wilderness but also the new legendary raid boss Kapu-Toro as well as modified contents in 2-km eggs.
This includes among others costumed Pokémon like Togepi with a flower crown, but also rare specimens like Riolu. The event has been underway for some time now, and many trainers have already diligently hatched event eggs. Now they are sharing their experiences on reddit and showing how often they really got Riolu from the 2-km eggs.
Chances of getting Riolu from the eggs in the Spring event
As the reddit user GothamReigns states in his reddit post, he has hatched 206 2-km event eggs so far and shows a statistic on how these are distributed among the individual Pokémon. He also included the frequency of Shinys in his data. His rates were as follows (via reddit.com):
Pokémon
hatched
rate
Azurill
39x
18.93 %
Fluffeluff
39x
18.93 %
Pichu
38x
18.45 %
Mampfaxo
31x
15.05 %
Togepi
18x
8.74 %
Wonneira
13x
6.31 %
Owei
11x
5.34 %
Riolu
9x
4.37 %
Klingplim
8x
3.88 %
Of these hatched Pokémon, he was able to secure a total of 4 Shinys: one each of Fluffeluff, Pichu, Togepi, and Riolu.
Are there further data? Other trainers also share similar results in the comments. They have also recorded the monsters from the 2-km eggs and show how often they have gotten Riolu. For example, DaybreakHorizon was happy to have 2 Riolu from a total of 54 hatched eggs (via reddit.com). This corresponds to a rate of about 3.7 %.
Other trainers, however, had less luck regarding Riolu. For instance, YesilFasulye could not secure a single Riolu from 60 eggs. The same applies to Own_Fortune_6940, who hatched 18 2-km eggs (via reddit.com).
Also among the reports of these trainers, especially monsters like Azurill, as well as Mampfaxo and Pichu were often present. Therefore, Riolu is thus alongside Klingplim the rarest Pokémon from the event eggs. This is also indicated by the overview from Niantic regarding the probabilities that you find under the 2-km eggs. So you will mainly have chances of Azurill, Fluffeluff, and Pichu when hatching.
Is it worth hatching the 2-km eggs with Riolu at all?
Even if Riolu is currently very rare to find in these eggs, you should still take the opportunity. The fighting Pokémon is the pre-evolution to Lucario, which is among the top 10 fighting attackers in Pokémon GO.
Normally, Riolu can only be obtained from 10-km eggs. Thus, the event eggs are a good opportunity to secure one or another Riolu. Additionally, the hatching distance is currently reduced.
Thus, you only have to walk 1 kilometer with a regular incubator to hatch a 2-km egg. Therefore, you can hatch significantly more eggs in a short time than is usually the case with 10-km eggs. Thus, you have more opportunities to encounter one during the event.
How do you find the current 2-km eggs for the Spring event? Have you managed to secure a Riolu? And maybe even succeeded in getting a Shiny? Share your experiences with us here at MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other trainers in the comments.
The revealing streamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa announced on Twitter the end of an era: She no longer wants to be an E-Girl and has probably invested huge amounts in Twitch content. MeinMMO reveals more about this topic.
Furthermore, she writes that she wants to stop with OnlyFans in June, give it her all before that, and disappear from the platform with a grand finale.
Amouranth plans completely new content on Twitch
In addition, Amouranth is also planning drastic changes on Twitch, as she has invested over 300,000 euros in the future content. Everyone is invited when she announces more about it at the end of this week. The announcement is likely to happen over the weekend, between April 16 and 17.
Amouranth mentions in the further thread that she is “ALL-IN”. This is the first time she is putting “real time, muscles, and money” behind her efforts. Either it works or it doesn’t, the streamer also said.
Amouranth wants to leave the internet: She also mentioned that this is just the beginning, larger investments are to come. “This is just the beginning (or the beginning of the end – of me disappearing from the internet),” she continued.
In the past, Amouranth revealed in a conversation with Mizkif on Twitch that she plans to retreat from the public eye at some point to invest in an animal rescue and spend the rest of her life that way.
Do the Joy-Cons of the Nintendo Switch slip out of your fingers during heated battles? But you also don’t want to buy an expensive Pro Controller? MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has found a small, affordable solution.
What is the problem? I’m in the middle of a heated battle and I just need to land one hit on the opponent. But exactly then, my Joy-Cons slip out of my fingers. When I’m under stress, my fingers get damp and sweaty.
An alternative would be to buy a Pro Controller. There are now many versions of it, but they can be really expensive. However, there are also some manufacturers that sell so-called “Thumb-Grips”. These are caps that you attach to the thumbsticks of your Joy-Cons.
But is the money really worth it for such “caps”? After all, you only pay an average of 10 euros for such caps for the thumbsticks. I tried it out and was positively surprised. In my article, I explain why such parts might be worth it for you too if you are looking for an upgrade for your Switch.
Thumb-Grips cost less than 10 euros
These Thumb-Grips cost on average 5 to 10 euros and are available in various styles. I immediately ordered two sets because these things look kind of nice.
The biggest disadvantage first: It’s incredibly fiddly to attach the caps to the Joy-Cons. Once you’ve gotten them on one side, they slip off the other side again. I cursed loudly more than once during assembly when the pieces flew off again. But somehow they fit in the end and sit really tight.
What does it bring in practice? The small caps not only look stylish but also give the Joy-Cons significantly more grip. I still have damp fingers, but while gaming, I now have a much better grip on the thumbsticks. For my large hands, the Joy-Cons with these attachments are much easier to hold.
Moreover, these parts really look nice, even though that – like RGB lighting – isn’t really game-changing.

If you are interested in more about the Switch, this might also appeal to you:
Who is it worth it for? Do you get damp fingers quickly while gaming like I do or are your thumbsticks generally too small? Then these Thumb-Grips are definitely worth it for you.
If you are still looking for a way to personalize your Switch further, I can also recommend these Thumb-Grips to you. Because they look really nice in some cases and stand out from the Switch.
Cap options in different styles: With claws and in Pokémon style.
More upgrades for the Switch: Are you looking for more tips and upgrades for the Switch? I recently bought an upgrade for the Switch that I can recommend to anyone who likes to game on the go:
Tier Sets in World of Warcraft are extremely powerful – and starting today, you can “craft” them. We will explain how to use the “Creation Catalyst”.
One of the major features of Patch 9.2 in World of Warcraft was the return of Tier Sets. They provide really strong bonuses and will soon likely be mandatory for almost all classes. But what about players who don’t raid or always have bad luck with drops? For these characters, there is now help, as today (04/13/2022), the Creation Catalyst is active!
What is the Creation Catalyst? The Creation Catalyst allows you to convert items into Tier Set items of the current Tier Set from the Sepulcher of the First. The items retain their original item level but gain the bonuses of the Tier Sets, their appearance, and their secondary stats. Socket slots, upgrade state, and tertiary stats (such as avoidance or leech) will be carried over during the conversion.
You will find the Creation Catalyst in Zereth Mortis. It is located in a floating complex at coordinates 48 / 88. You can simply fly to the Catalyst or use the teleporter under the building if you haven’t unlocked flying yet.
The Creation Catalyst helps you to obtain Tier Set pieces.
Which items can the Catalyst convert? Basically, a variety of items that you have obtained in the current season of Shadowlands. This includes the following list:
Items from the raid Sepulcher of the First
Items from Mythic+
Items from PvP
Items from the world boss Antros (Zereth Mortis)
Items from merchant Rafiq (Zereth Mortis)
However, keep in mind that only the 5 main items of the set grant their 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses, namely helm, shoulders, chest, gloves, and pants. All other items do not grant set bonuses, but acquire a new appearance, fitting with the Tier Set – which is of interest to transmog collectors.
How much does it cost? Using the Creation Catalyst costs cosmic flux. However, moderately active players are likely to have this resource in abundance, making the costs negligible. Depending on the equipment slot, the costs vary:
Equipment Slot
Cost in Cosmic Flux
Bracers
600
Cloak
600
Belt
800
Boots
800
Gloves*
1,200
Shoulders*
1,200
Chest*
1,500
Helm*
1,500
Pants*
1,500
Slots marked with * grant a Tier Set bonus.

How often can you use the Catalyst? The Catalyst can currently be used only once per character per week. However, the Catalyst receives a recharge each week. So, for example, if you skip this week, you can use the Catalyst twice in the following week. Those looking to catch up their alts in a few weeks can use the Catalyst multiple times in a row – as long as the necessary costs can be covered.
What do you think of this method of being able to craft Tier Set pieces? A cool, sensible thing? Or should Tier Sets, like before, only be available through raids?

Tower of Fantasy is a new MMORPG that will be released for PC and mobile. Visually, it somewhat resembles a mix of Genshin Impact and the highly anticipated Blue Protocol. The game is set to launch in the West in 2022 and will hold a closed beta beforehand, starting in April.
What kind of beta is this? The closed beta of Tower of Fantasy will take place only in the USA, Canada, the UK, and Germany. It starts on April 19, although there is currently no specific time.
However, all content of the MMORPG is expected to be playable in the beta. It is currently unclear whether there will be a German localization and if this will be included in the beta. The publisher in the West will be Perfect World, which is also responsible for Star Trek Online and Neverwinter in the West, both of which at least provide German text.
However, keys are frequently being given away via the Discord account and on social media. If you are interested in the game, you should keep an eye on those platforms (via Discord).
This video gives you a first look at the MMORPG:

Tower of Fantasy eschews classes, presents detailed characters of the game world
What kind of game is it? Tower of Fantasy is an Anime MMORPG. It will be free-to-play and powered by Unreal Engine 4.
In the game, you explore a completely open game world with your character, apart from the dungeons. You can design this character to your liking. The game does not rely on fixed classes; instead, the weapon and armor determine the playstyle.

You follow a story on the planet Ada, which humans have colonized in the future. The narrative is conveyed through various quests.
The trailer showcases an action-packed combat system.
You can climb, swim, and destroy various objects in the world.
It features typical MMORPG content such as guilds and crafting.
Endgame content includes dungeons and PvP.
The developers of Tower of Fantasy repeatedly highlight their NPC characters, all of whom are supposed to have unique personalities. On the Twitter account, you can already find several presentations of these NPCs, where birth dates, character traits, and appearances are discussed.

When does the game come out? Tower of Fantasy was released in China at the end of 2021 and is expected to launch for us in 2022. As of now, there is still no specific release date.
How is Tower of Fantasy being received so far? In the Chinese version, players rated Tower of Fantasy at only 3.6 out of 5 stars from 79,000 reviews (via TapTap). However, the ratings in the last 7 days showed an average of 4.2 stars, which is somewhat higher.
Criticism includes:
The difficult start during which there were constant server outages.
The high memory consumption and high requirements for smartphones.
The rather weak hit feedback.
There is a gacha system for the weapons of 1 to 5 stars, which is not well received because the chances for high-tier weapons are said to be very low.
On the other hand, praise has been given for:
The story and atmosphere of the game.
The ability to change and dye equipment items.
Many endgame contents.
Regular updates and many bug fixes that have been recently deployed.

This year, a new MMORPG with great potential is also set to be released:
The trainers in Pokémon GO want to catch as many Pokémon as possible, especially rare ones. But that’s not so easy. Now the community is demanding a new important feature that should make things easier for you in the future. We at MeinMMO will show you exactly what is being requested.
Which Pokémon are we talking about? In the wilderness of Pokémon GO, you can encounter various monsters, including rare specimens like Miniras or Milza. It is all the more frustrating when you miss them.
However, this is precisely the scenario reported by the reddit user chaarmanderchar. We will explain to you what exactly happened to her and why trainers are now demanding a new important change regarding the “Nearby” feature.
What is the “Nearby” feature? This feature acts as a kind of radar, showing you 9 selected Pokémon at nearby PokéStops in your area. If you want a specific monster from these, you can refer to this overview. If you click on them, you will see a kind of navigation on your map showing where you can currently find it.
Pokémon that you have not yet registered in your Pokédex will always be prioritized and also displayed within a larger radius on the radar. If there are no PokéStops near you, the feature will switch to wild spawns and show you a selection.
Why are trainers demanding a change in the game?
What happened? As chaarmanderchar reports in her reddit post, she was out with her boyfriend after the end of the Community Day Classic (via reddit.com). Through the “Nearby” display, which you can open at the bottom of the screen, she got a rare Miniras displayed in her area.
Her boyfriend, who has already registered this monster in his Pokédex, did not see this entry. The algorithm of this feature prioritized other Pokémon for him, which spawn much more frequently. Thus, he would not have been able to discover Miniras on the map if his girlfriend had not been with him, who still needed it in her Pokédex.
That’s why they are demanding a change: This experience made them think about how many rare monsters they might have missed just because they were not suggested as nearby spawns anymore.
Especially trainers with a well-filled Pokédex were at a disadvantage. For this reason, they are demanding a change in the way the feature works that would be helpful for all trainers.
How you can also obtain Miniras in Pokémon GO is revealed in our guide:
The trainer chaarmanderchar is convinced that the “Nearby” feature needs an important revision. She is calling for a filter that allows each trainer to set their individual preferences. She has thought of three different options that she describes in her post as follows:
I understand that this is advantageous for Niantic, as it encourages players to buy incubators to try to hatch rare gems like eF-eM and Milza. But I think we still deserve better control over the radar. Things like:
– Range filter: Determines how far the range of your radar should reach. This can be in increments from 2 km to a distance of 10 km;
– Type filter: Only show Pokémon of a specific type on the radar nearby. I know that would be much too complicated, but one can dream.
– Weather filter: Only show Pokémon that are currently boosted by the weather.
Through these settings, she hopes that even long-time players will again have rare Pokémon displayed on the radar and not be overshadowed by other uninteresting spawns.
What does the community say about this proposal?
In the community, many players can identify with this problem. Therefore, they would also wish for a revision of the current “Nearby” feature.
For many, this would even align with Niantic’s current vision, which they are already trying to implement through other changes, such as the downgrade of the smoke to get trainers back outside. Thus, in the comments, you can read the following suggestions from the reddit community (via reddit.com):
KingCheru: “I agree. I caught a 62 CP 1-star Miniras and now it never appears on my radar. I wish I had just left it!”
lewisisb: “We don’t even necessarily need complicated filter options; it would just be great if rarer spawns had priority on the radar. Niantic already knows which spawns are rare since they set the spawn rate, so it would be easy to implement. I don’t need to know that a Hoothoot is next to the PokéStop next to me. A small update of the radar algorithm would make the game much more exciting.”
FilthyHipsterScum: “They want us to explore outside? They want us to go out and explore? Tell us about the cool things nearby, not just the usual trash next to me.”
milo4206: “Here’s a simple idea: I select 5 types I prefer to have nearby. We could limit this to, say, the size of a city block, so it’s not extending to the farthest edges of my visibility in the game. But this way, I know if I am passing by a Miniras or Schlurp that it is nearby.”
krispyboiz: “That’s right. At the very least, they could do some pretty simple things. Let me go into the Dex and mark a few for priority tracking. Even if it’s just a few that one can mark at once, say 3-5, that’s much better than nothing. Then you’d have the same tracking distance and priority as unregistered Pokémon. This way, it’s definitely not so complicated and very feasible. And it would definitely fit with Niantic’s entire ‘exploration with others’ philosophy.”
However, some trainers suspect that such a change would be very labor-intensive and possibly also associated with high development costs, which is why they do not have high hopes. Furthermore, rare Pokémon should not be found too often.
Whether Niantic will implement a change to the “Nearby” feature in the future and provide trainers with more options remains to be seen. However, if there are new updates, you will find out about it from us at MeinMMO.
What do you think about the community’s suggestions that Niantic should make changes to the “Nearby” feature? Have you experienced that you only found a rare monster because a friend hadn’t had it yet and, therefore, it was displayed? Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with us here at MeinMMO in the comments.
The indications that Lost Ark could also receive a Battle Pass in the West are intensifying. A new video may have accidentally leaked some concrete evidence of this.
What is the Battle Pass about? Almost every major Free2Play game nowadays has a Battle Pass, or at least something similar. Don’t confuse this with the Power Pass, which already exists in Lost Ark.
There are usually free or paid options, and through them, different in-game rewards are unlocked. Lost Ark already has such a Battle Pass in the Asian region, and recently there has been speculation about whether a release for the Western version is planned.
So far, there has been no confirmation or denial from the Amazon Studios. A new video from the Lost Ark developers seems to have accidentally provided evidence for this speculation.
Video about the new season in Lost Ark possibly leaks Battle Pass for the West
What kind of video is this? The video actually revolves around the new season in Lost Ark. It mainly showcases the first competitive season of the Proving Grounds and classes that do not exist in the West yet. You can watch it here:
Start video
Lost Ark zeigt Battle Pass im offiziellen Video zu PvP Proving Grounds
In the video, you can also clearly see labels for the Battle Pass for a brief moment in the menu.
Coincidentally, the video also discusses the rewards in the competitive PvP season. It is likely that the video is based on a developer build containing features that are yet to come.
During the showcased gameplay, an icon labeled “Ark Pass” is visible multiple times:
This sounds quite clear regarding a potential Battle Pass. However, it is not known how it will look here.
How does the Battle Pass of Lost Ark work in the Asian region? Here too, players need to complete tasks to increase their progress in the Pass. Notable rewards are given every five levels until the Pass reaches its maximum level of 30.
The tasks are mostly limited to things you would be doing anyway while actively playing the game, including:
Complete a raid
Finish a dungeon
Kill seven bosses
There are three different versions available: A free, a premium, and a super premium variant. Whether these will be implemented here remains to be seen.
Since the topic of Pay2Win is handled very differently in Europe and the USA than, for example, in South Korea with its numerous gacha games, it could be that Lost Ark will receive a revised version for the West.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands has a lot of silly weapons. The latest piece of evidence: a legendary kitchen device that can save your life.
What kind of weapon is it? In Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, players can find the “Frying Pan”. And the name says it all: it is indeed a more or less normal, albeit somewhat battered and overly used frying pan.
The “Frying Pan” is a melee weapon that you can equip your character with. And while the thing can certainly deal damage with hearty blows to your enemies, it is rather the defensive attributes that are in focus here.
In the Wonderlands subreddit, some players have already found and shared the weapon:

What makes the Frying Pan so interesting in Wonderlands?
The Frying Pan brings the following effects:
While performing melee attacks, there is a 90% chance to reflect incoming bullets. At the same time, there is a 15% chance if you just have it equipped but are not holding it in your hand.
Furthermore, it reduces damage from bullets and projectiles from behind by 90% while you have it equipped but are not holding it in your hand.
This means: If you just have the Frying Pan with you, you can enjoy a good chance that sneaky enemies who want to attack you from behind will only deal a fraction of the damage.
If you actively use the pan, you can even catapult enemy fire back to the sender.
In short: The pan, which is actually not a shield, is one of the most effective shields in the game. And yes: This is probably a reference to the legendary frying pan from PUBG. Overall, frying pans seem to be a thing in games.
The description text “I think I’m getting the hang of this” is a quote from Sam in “The Lord of the Rings” films. He said this line in the Mines of Moria – when he was also attacking the local orcs with a frying pan.
Where can you find the Frying Pan? There is a chance to get the pan from the mini-boss Master Tonhammer. However, it can primarily be found as a world drop – and thus completely randomly.
It may be worth diligently collecting the loot cubes in the game. Because this increases the chances of rare spawns and could also bring you a little closer to the Frying Pan.
