In Pokémon GO today, on April 5th, the Spotlight Hour with Skunktank is taking place. The bonus gives you double candy during the event. We will show you the start time, shinies, and bonuses.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday, the Spotlight Hour runs in Pokémon GO. For 60 minutes, a specific Pokémon is the focus and spawns significantly more frequently. There is also a bonus that should make the event even more appealing.
Today, the Pokémon Skunktank from the fourth generation is in focus and brings a candy bonus.
Spotlight Hour on April 5th with Skunktank – Contents
When does it start? The Spotlight Hour starts today at the usual time at 6:00 PM local time. It will be active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? During the event, Skunktank will appear almost everywhere in the wild. If you want to catch even more specimens, you can light a lure during the event, which will primarily attract Skunktank.
Additionally, there is a bonus that affects sending Pokémon. For each Pokémon sent, you will receive double the amount of candy.
Can you catch Shiny Skunktank? No, the shiny version of the Pokémon has not yet been activated in the game. So you cannot catch it today.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today?
How strong will it be: Skunktank is not particularly strong and cannot really compete in this form. For 50 candies, you can evolve it into Skuntank. The evolution performs decently in the Great League and Ultra League, but it’s still not a “must-have”.
The Spotlight Hour today is primarily worth it to tidy up your collection and to earn the double candy.
Overall, the Spotlight Hour today is not particularly rewarding, but rather an opportunity to tidy up your Pokémon collection. We have for you the overview of all Spotlight Hours in April 2022 at Pokémon GO – There you can see what to expect in the coming weeks.

Important Times for Server Downtimes Today in Fortnite – When and How Long is it Offline?
This is the downtime in the morning: The servers are expected to be shut down at 10:00 AM our time to install update 20.10. The matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes prior, so you won’t be able to search for new rounds from 09:30 AM.
When can you play again? The servers are usually offline for several hours during such maintenance, making it impossible to play. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. The updates of the past weeks have shown this.
Of course, technical problems, bugs, and delays can always occur during such maintenance. If such complications arise, we will report them to you immediately here.
When will the patch notes come? Epic Games has long stopped publishing patch notes or provides very little information. However, community members usually find the changes quickly. If there are any important changes, we will also update this article for you.
What New Content Does Update 20.10 Bring?
What’s new for the Battle Royale mode? There are currently no specific statements from Epic Games regarding the content of patch 20.10. However, leaks and dataminers have often proven to be reliable sources in the past. The changes are official:
Unlocking Additional Styles and New Cosmetic Items
If you have treated yourself to the Battle Pass, you will also gain access to bonus rewards during the season. This tab in the menu is always equipped with a timer that shows when you can unlock the additional styles. Now that update 20.10 has been rolled out, you can admire the new content.

Epic has brought a weapon out of retirement again. With the heavy sniper, you now have three snipers to choose from to eliminate your opponents from a safe distance.
New Donation Campaign – MK7 or Combat Assault Rifle?
You can now choose to donate your gold at donation boards in all major locations on the map. You can choose either the MK7 with targeting sight or the Combat Assault Rifle. The item that reaches 100% first will be added to the loot pool immediately.
Balance Adjustments in the Game
Epic has also made some balance changes. These are as follows:
The damage of combat SMGs and submachine guns against players and structures has been reduced.
The headshot damage of combat SMGs has been decreased to be more in line with the submachine gun.
The damage of MK-7 assault rifles and combat assault rifles against players and structures has been reduced.
Titan tanks and cow catchers have been removed from competitive game modes.
Additionally, several issues have been fixed:
Wins are now correctly tracked in the career leaderboard tab.
A bug with the resistance missions has been fixed that prevented players from progressing in week 2.
A bug has been fixed where vehicles stuttered or drove unevenly when on flat terrain.
The fishing collection is now no longer reset between matches and saves progress as intended.
A bug has been fixed where last season’s missions appeared as tracked on the HUD when no other missions were being tracked.
Players can now use the ziplines between the wind turbines on Windmill Island.
To maintain optimal performance, Fortnite will now default to performance mode for certain legacy drivers and unsupported drivers.
Finally, Epic added competitive notes:
The heavy sniper rifle is not available in competitive game modes.
The winner of the vote between the MK-7 Assault Rifle and the Combat Assault Rifle will not be coming out of the vault for competitive game modes as soon as 100% is reached.
No battles will take place at The Daily Bugle in competitive game modes, but Hunt Master Saber has still changed his position.

MeinMMO shows you the statistically 5 most popular weapons with the most used attachments in Call of Duty: Warzone. In addition, we present the assault rifle Vargo 52, which is currently considered the strongest assault rifle, but is not among the most popular weapons.
There can be debates about the best weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone. Many prefer their weapons to function like lasers without recoil. Others prioritize mobility and want to get on target quickly.
When it comes to data-based statistics, it looks different. They provide information with a certain, comprehensible foundation. Fortunately, there is “WZRanked”, one of the best tools for Warzone, to keep you updated on the current weapon meta.
MeinMMO shows you the top 5 of the current weapon charts in Battle Royale with a brief description. Also, the assault rifle Vargo 52 and why you should definitely try it out.
WZRanked (via wzranked.com) analyzes a data interface of Call of Duty and thus examines the selected loadout weapons of players who have shared their data. This way, the site can generate usage statistics to determine the most popular weapons, the chosen attachments, and the fairness of the meta.
Rank 5: Robot – 4.42 %
What kind of weapon is this? The Robot is a fast-firing assault rifle with low recoil. It shines with a very large initial damage range and loses damage only at long distances. The time-to-kill leaves something to be desired – but you reliably hit your enemies.

Rank 4: Swiss K31 – 5.62 %
What kind of weapon is this? The sniper rifle is among the top sniper rifles along with the Kar 98k from CoD MW. It has certain advantages over the Kar, for example in reloading and chest hit damage. However, controller players should still go for the Kar 98k.

What kind of weapon is this? The Cooper Carbine offers you very stable setups for range, but can also perform well as sniper support. However, submachine guns are reclaiming their place in close combat, so we recommend the carbine as a stable long-range option with a decent time-to-kill.

Bonus: Vargo 52
What kind of weapon is this? The assault rifle surprisingly came from Cold War to Warzone and impresses with strong damage without bringing too much recoil. Currently, the Vargo is considered the strongest weapon on Caldera and Rebirth Island if you’re not specifically looking for a laser in an assault rifle.
After the introduction of the Vanguard weapons with their 10 attachments, the new guns have clearly taken over the weapon meta. Only the two mobile snipers from CoD MW and Cold War remain at the top.
We would like to know which weapons are currently popular among you. Do you agree with the list or do you have other favorites? Feel free to leave us a comment on the topic.
In an exclusive worldwide interview, MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski spoke with two leading developers about Diablo Immortal. Wyatt Cheng (Game Director) and Joe Grubb (Principal Game Designer)revealed among other things more about the length of the story campaign and how it will be structured.
The release of Diablo Immortal is expected to happen in the first half of 2022. In the last beta test phase, in which MeinMMO participated, the MMORPG was already very polished. Our impression after the tests was that mainly only fine-tuning is missing.
The release should therefore not take much longer. We took this opportunity to talk with Blizzard about Diablo Immortal in an interview.
The main story could be completed in under 10 hours if played linearly
When I asked Wyatt Cheng and Joe Grubb about the campaign length of Diablo Immortal, Game Director Cheng looked thoughtfully upwards and chewed on his answer for a while.
It was clear to see that he didn’t want to say anything wrong and that assessing the exact length wasn’t easy for him. Because the MMORPG doesn’t offer a linear experience in that sense.
Wyatt Cheng explained how the story campaign is structured: ‘Different people take different amounts of time. I hesitate with the answer because our story is structured with 8 zones. But you can’t just teleport to the zone, play the story, and be done.
The story in each area takes about 15 to 45 minutes. Or let’s say, about half an hour. But each of them has a level cap. The ‘Guts Marsh’ is for level 40-45. Once you reach level 40, you can experience the story there, which in turn continues the story of the previous zone and will be continued later.
Once you have completed the main story quest in this zone, you will find other activities such as Elder Rifts, bounties, or dungeons to gain enough EXP to reach the required level for the next zone.
If there were only the story without levels, you would probably be done in under 10 hours. But there is this whole other content that you can complete.’

‘Immortal is the biggest and most ambitious Diablo yet’
Principal Game Designer Joe Grubb added that there will be more story content than just the campaign:
‘Immortal is the biggest and most ambitious Diablo yet. That’s why there’s not just the one quest line, but a lot of content around it as well. Also story-driven content like side quests with characters you help. It really depends on how much you want to engage. If you ignore all this content, it goes pretty fast. But if you want to experience Immortal fully, then it’s a significantly larger experience.’
In recent years at MeinMMO, I have learned that many of you care about German voice acting. That’s why I asked whether there would be one.
Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you here. It is not planned for the release.
Cheng explained to me that there will be a voice-over for the main story in English and a few languages, but not including German. However, there will be German subtitles for the English voice acting and German text in the user interface.
However, keep in mind that Diablo Immortal is a live-service game that is supposed to be continuously developed. In the future, there may be a possibility that a German voiceover will come.
Raiding in World of Warcraft is an expensive affair – at least at the world rank level. The pros have revealed how many millions of gold they have spent.
The race for the “World First Kill” of the Jailer in the Sepulcher of the First Ones has been underway for a while. However, many of the pro guilds are now taking the time to farm gold properly again – for the next race and to pay off their debts. Because such a race costs millions of gold coins – in some cases even billions. We reveal what each guild has paid.
How much gold have the guilds spent? There are significant differences among them. Some of the most well-known – and successful – guilds have reported the following gold amounts they spent during the race in the Sepulcher of the First Ones:
Liquid: 723 million gold
SK Pieces: 680 million gold
Method: 480 million gold
BigDumbGaming (BDGG): 294 million gold
JiTianHong: 1100 million gold
Interestingly, many guilds have taken out gold debts and borrowed gold.
Not for the faint-hearted – only with a lot of gold can pro guilds manage this.
How much money would that be in real currency? The colleagues from wowhead have taken these gold values and converted them into real money. This can be done at least roughly, as there is a “WoW Token” in World of Warcraft, which allows players to exchange real money for gold or gold for game time. However, the prices for this WoW Token fluctuate continuously and there are significant differences between regions (EU, US, Asia). For example, gold is worth significantly less in the Asian region. Converted to euros at the respective gold rate for the region, this would amount for the pro guilds:
Liquid: €84,700
SK Pieces: €52,000
Method: €37,000
BDGG: €34,000
JiTianHong: €29,000
What is the money actually spent on? Gold serves several purposes in the World First race. After all, there are many things that can be paid for with gold:
PvP boosts to get strong items from the weekly reward chest
How do the guilds earn back the gold? Mainly through sell runs. After the Jailer has been defeated, most pro guilds sell their skills for a high amount of gold. Anyone who wants to be taken completely through the Sepulcher of the First Ones on heroic difficulty to collect achievements and loot pays a large amount of gold for it. Although the public advertising of such services across multiple realms has been banned, offering them in principle has not.
The wealth saved up will also likely be needed in the next expansion – because then the guilds will probably spend millions of gold again to be perfectly prepared for the next raid.
What do you think of such gold values? Absolutely insane what the guilds are managing? Should this play a role in the World First race? Is this just part of the WoW economy?

In Diablo 3 Season 26 has started with buffs and nerfs. We show you the patch notes for patch 2.7.3.
What’s new? Blizzard has now officially confirmed when Season 26 will start for you. There are also the final patch notes for patch 2.7.3, which outline all the changes of the new chapter for you.
When does Season 26 begin? On April 15 at 5:00 PM CEST, Season 26 begins. Patch 2.7.3, however, is expected to be released on April 12. That is just a few days after the end of Season 25.
Season 26 changes endgame – Seasonal theme, Haedrig’s Gift and changes
The seasonal theme: Season 26 comes with the seasonal theme “the Echoing Nightmare” and for the first time introduces a new activity as a theme of a season. You can imagine the Echoing Nightmare as an event where waves of enemies spawn repeatedly in a confined space. As you progress, the enemies become stronger.
Cosmetic rewards: As you know from past seasons in Diablo 3, there are some old cosmetic rewards in Season 26 for players who couldn’t earn them during the actual season. There are also new cosmetic rewards. Both can be earned.
The old items originated from season 14. These are:
The boots and pants of the exclusive Conqueror set
A series of portrait frames
A flag
For completing Season 26, you will receive the portrait frame “Rakkis’ Remembrance” and the companion ‘Nibble Demon’.
The rewards from Season 14The new rewards in Season 26
Haedrig’s Gift: If you complete chapters 2, 3, and 4 in the Season Journey, you will receive Haedrig’s Gifts, which contain parts of class sets. After completing chapter 4, you will have a complete class set if you open all gifts with the same character.
These sets are available in Season 26 from Haedrig’s Gift:
This is what the class sets from Haedrig’s Gift in Season 26 look like.
Achievements in Season 26: In every season, there are a few selected achievements that you can complete. A few of them are needed to successfully complete the Season Journey. In S26, these are:
Greed (Gold Greed HC)
Speed Demon (Streamlined HC)
Mineral Collection (I Gotta Catch ‘Em All HC)
Simply Divine (Heart of a Lion HC)
Portal Mania (Dynasty HC)
On the next page, we will show you the patch notes for Season 26 in English.

In Pokémon GO you have the chance to catch the Rocket Boss Giovanni’s Crypto-Latias for a few days now. We at MeinMMO looked at what kind of monster it is and whether it is worth catching.
What kind of Pokémon is it? In Pokémon GO you can currently meet members of Team GO Rocket more often. The reason for this is the current event “Rocket Team Outing”, which runs until April 7 at 11:59 PM.
In line with the start, bosses Arlo, Cliff, Sierra, and Giovanni have put together new teams. For this reason, you can now encounter the legendary Pokémon Latias in its corresponding Crypto form in battle against Giovanni and catch it afterwards.
But what kind of Pokémon is that and is it worth catching? We have summarized all the info for you below.
What kind of Pokémon is Latias?
Latias is a legendary Pokémon from the 3rd generation of games. Just like its counterpart Latios, it belongs to the Dragon and Psychic types. However, it has no pre-evolution or evolution.
Latias has already been found multiple times in Level 5 raids in the past. Now you can also meet it for the first time in its Crypto form with the great Rocket Boss Giovanni.
Is there a Shiny-Latias? Yes, Shiny-Latias is generally available in the game and has already been caught in the past. You can recognize it by its yellow-white body. However, in its Crypto form, it is currently not available in its shiny form.
Latias normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
How strong is Latias? The normal form of Latias can especially shine with a high defense value. But its attack and stamina are also solid. However, it plays a less interesting role in the PvP league (via pvpoke.com).
For use in raids, however, it is an option. It is among the top 10 Psychic attackers in Pokémon GO. However, there are also Pokémon that can perform even better, so you should prefer these in battle.
Is Crypto-Latias worth it?
Due to the Crypto form, which it will have after catching it from Giovanni, its attack value increases by 20%, but its defense also decreases simultaneously. This results in it taking damage faster in battle and not lasting as long.
Thus, this form is also unsuitable for the PvP league. Even though it can perform better in raids, it still doesn’t measure up to other Pokémon from the list of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Furthermore, you cannot get Crypto-Latias in its shiny form yet. So Shiny hunters will not benefit from Giovanni this time.
Should you catch Crypto-Latias? No, purely from its values and the fact that Crypto-Latias cannot be caught as Shiny, the new Pokémon from Giovanni is rather uninteresting. In addition, you only receive a single Super Rocket Radar, allowing you to defeat Giovanni only once.
So if you don’t particularly want Crypto-Latias to register it in your PokéDex, you should save your valuable Super Rocket Radar for another better legendary Crypto Pokémon in the future. Which monster will encounter you after Latias from Giovanni remains unknown for now.
How to get Crypto-Latias?
If you still want to secure a Crypto-Latias, you must first complete the new special research “Silent List”. This includes tasks around the members of Team GO Rocket as well as catching and purifying Crypto Pokémon.
As a reward on Task 4/6, you will finally receive a Super Rocket Radar. With this, you can track down the great Rocket Boss Giovanni. Once you have defeated him, you will have an encounter with Crypto-Latias.
What do you think of the new legendary Pokémon from Giovanni? Have you already secured Crypto-Latias? Or are you saving your Super Rocket Radar for another monster? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
You still play on the PlayStation 4 and want to know how to make the PS4 faster? MeinMMO presents you a handful of tips.
You still play on your PS4, but you feel that the console doesn’t run as fast and smoothly as it did at the beginning? MeinMMO presents you a series of tips.
We have sorted the tips for you by difficulty. First the easy ones, then the slightly more complicated tips.
Check if you have enough free storage space
Requirements: No special items needed | Time required: 10 minutes | Cost: none | Difficulty: Easy
One of the most common causes of declining performance on the PS4 is the lack of storage space on the hard drive. It is recommended to keep about 10% of your storage free to avoid performance issues. Game consoles need a certain part of the hard drive for virtual memory.
With the size of modern games and saved video recordings, available storage can quickly run out. Therefore, regularly check how many games you have installed and how much storage space you still have left.
If you want to check your storage space, go to the settings and then to “Storage” and then to the sub-point “System Storage”. The PS4 will take a moment and then you will see all your installed apps and games in a clear diagram.
In Elden Ring attributes and how you distribute your skill points for your build play a central role. Things can go wrong or plans can change. We’ll tell you how to reset them and what you need for that.
To receive a level-up and thus a skill point, you must first gather runes, which are both EXP and currency. You obtain them by killing enemies. The further you progress, the longer it takes to increase your attributes further.
They determine what qualities your character has and which equipment you can use. It’s all the more frustrating if, after many hours, you find that you have misallocated your points or want to try a different build.
That’s why we’re here to explain how you can reset your attributes in case of emergency, informally known as “Respec”.
Update, April 5: We have updated the article and added some details.
Here’s how you can redistribute your attributes in Elden Ring
To reset your skill points in Elden Ring, you must go to the second large area of the Lands Between, Liurnia, the Lake Land. In its center is also the second Legacy Dungeon, the Academy of Raya Lucaria, where the second main boss of the story awaits you.
This is Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. If the name sounds familiar, you may have already encountered an important NPC, who you meet early in the game.
If you manage to defeat her, she will still be found in the room, but from now on she will be peaceful and can even be useful to you.
You can now select the option “Rebirth” with her – this is the function for resetting your attributes. However, that’s only possible if you have a Larval Tear in your inventory.
Early locations for Larval Tears in Elden Ring
At these locations, you can find the item: Currently, not all locations for Larval Tears are known. However, we will give you a few known examples.
Larval Tear on the south side of Lake Agheel
Travel to the Site of Grace “South Side” and turn around. Before you should now be a path, behind it a high rock wall.
Walk to the foot of the rock wall and climb upward at the nearest point.
There awaits a foe who still looks quite human. Defeat him.
Once you’ve taken him down, the thing transforms into a giant bear that you must eliminate.
If you’ve succeeded, the Larval Tear will land in your inventory.
Larval Tear at the Fallen Ruins
South of the Site of Grace “Fallen Ruins of Lake Land”, you will find a huge lobster monster.
When you kill it, it transforms into a Plant Sprout.
Defeat the sprout and you’ll have the next Larval Tear.
Larval Tear in the Village of the Albinaurics
You need to travel southwest from the Site of Grace “Madness on the Lake”. Cross the mist until you land in a cave.
There you will find the Village of the Albinaurics. Follow the upward path and defeat some enemies.
At the end of the path, you will find a coffin behind which the item is located.
Larval Tear in Siofra, at the Isolated Merchant
First, you need to find the entrance to Siofra. It is located in the Mistwood of Limgrave, not far from the foot of the huge tree there.
You must venture relatively deep into Siofra until you can find the isolated merchant there in a hidden area.
How often can you actually respec? This is possible as long as you have Larval Tears. Per game run, you can respec at least 16 times; at least, according to the location list on the Elden Ring Wiki Fextralife, no further locations are known.
However, it is very possible that more will be found.
This is how the attributes of Elden Ring work: Overall, there are 8 different attributes that you can level up. With each level-up, you can distribute a new point.
The attributes not only affect your stats but also which weapons, shields, spells, and summons you can use. Most weapons scale with attributes like Strength or Dexterity, while some also benefit from Intelligence, which is especially advantageous for spells.
Others scale with Faith and are more suitable for builds that rely on summons.
Here you can find all main attributes at a glance.
Vigor: Vitality influences your health points and affects fire resistance and poison immunity.
Mind: Mind influences FP (Mana) and focus-related resistance. Important for magic and sorcery builds.
Endurance: Increases your character’s stamina and also increases physical defense. Especially important for melee fighters as stamina enables dodging and blocking.
Strength: Required to wield heavy weapons. It also increases the attack power of strength-scaling weapons.
Dexterity: Required to wield advanced weapons. It also increases the attack power of weapons that scale with agility. Reduces casting time of spells, mitigates fall damage, and makes it harder to fall off your horse.
Intelligence: Increases the spell power of intelligence-scaling spells and improves magic resistance. Also increases how often you can use spells.
Faith: Required for casting summons. It also enhances summons that scale with faith.
Arcane: Affects death resistance and certain spells and summons.
There are also other ways to increase your attributes. Through talismans and Great Runes, you can also gain some additional points.
However, in both cases there is a catch. The talismans reduce your resistances like focus in exchange.
The Great Runes, on the other hand, only work if you have an active Rune Arc. These are items you can find in the world of Elden Ring. They increase your health points and ability points, and they also activate the effects of the Great Runes you equip.
Have you discovered more Larval Tears? Have you had to respec your character? Or do you prefer not to use such options? What builds do you want to try in Elden Ring? Feel free to share your plans with us in the comments.
The MMORPG Lost Ark made a big splash at release. But the game offers you more than just a fantastic start, as it has content ready for many more years. We at MeinMMO give you a preview of everything that awaits you in Lost Ark.
What is Lost Ark? The new free-to-play MMORPG Lost Ark just launched in early February in the West. It features action-packed combat in an isometric perspective, delivering a kind of Diablo experience. However, it blends this experience with true MMORPG elements like relationships with NPCs, housing, and life skills.
It launched on Steam with over 1.3 million concurrent players and exceeded even the developers’ and publishers’ expectations by a long shot. And not without reason, as even around 2 months after the release of Lost Ark, not a single player has reached the maximum level of 60.
After Amazon apologized and promised to adjust the roadmap for future content, we want to look further into the future than just a few months.

Lost Ark has been running successfully in Korea since 2018 and brings many contents that we currently do not have in our version. Additionally, there is already a roadmap for most of the content that is slated for release in 2022 for the Korean version of the MMORPG.
While many of you already know what there is to do in Lost Ark, we want to discuss in this article what content awaits you in the upcoming months and years and why it should be your next game.
Who is speaking here? Mark Sellner is an MMORPG author at MeinMMO, having spent several thousand hours in various genre representatives. He has also been traveling in Lost Ark for 400 hours and looks forward to the content that lies ahead of us.

A ton of new, crazy classes
What else can you play? Although Lost Ark already launched with 15 different classes, which is quite a large selection for an MMORPG, there are still over seven more waiting for you. Furthermore, teasers for two completely new classes and ideas for many others have been announced, as Game Director Gold River reported in an interview with MeinMMO.
In the roadmap for April and May, Amazon recently announced that the next classes to be introduced in the Western version of the RPG will be the Lance bearer and the Destroyer. Both classes are among the most popular classes in the MMORPG in Korea. There is no exact date yet, but the Lance bearer is expected to appear in April and the Destroyer in May.
What are these classes about? We would like to introduce you a little more to the next two classes so that you can gain insight into their mechanics and know what to look forward to soon.
The Lance bearer – High-speed to top DPS
What can the Lance bearer do? The Lance bearer is one of the subclasses of the martial artist and is the only one among them that wields a real weapon. And not just one: the new Lance bearer charges into battle with spear and glaive, offering her a high level of versatility.
Depending on which of the two weapons she currently has equipped, she focuses more on area damage or damage against single targets. With her identity ability, you can, similar to martial artists and death shooters, switch between the two weapons. This gives you access to a different palette of skills.
The Lance bearer relies on speed and agility. She forgives you many mistakes because she can get out of situations well. Her swiftness is already close to that of the Deathblade. Therefore, the Lance bearer is considered one of the fastest classes in the game and is also feared in PvP.
The Lance bearer is swift and armed to the teeth.
The Lance bearer is also one of the lighter classes in Lost Ark. You are well equipped for every situation, and if not, there is usually a quick way out again. You can still deal substantial damage. All of this has made the Lance bearer a long-time favorite among fans.
What are her advantages? Thanks to her speed, the Lance bearer shines primarily as a DPS character, even though she has buffs for her teammates in her repertoire. However, these often cannot compete with those of other classes, which is why you primarily bear the responsibility for damage in your group.
In the DPS area, the strengths of the Lance bearer lie in short burst phases, as she can deliver a lot of damage very quickly. Thanks to the two weapons she has access to, she can handle this well against both single targets and groups of enemies. This adaptability and her speed allow her to stand well not only in PvP but also in raids.
In this video, you can see what the Lance bearer is capable of:

What can the Destroyer do? The Destroyer is a subclass of the Warrior and is one of the slowest classes in Lost Ark. He brings a massive war hammer to battle and literally pounds his enemies into the ground. He relies not only on a slow attack speed but also does not move particularly quickly. The Destroyer doesn’t need to due to his sheer force.
With his identity ability, he slowly charges energy, which you can see on the bottom of the screen. Once fully charged, the Destroyer can enter a kind of rage, which is considered one of the most feared attacks in PvP.
The mighty hammer of the Destroyer is as menacing as it looks.
During this ability, the Destroyer can only perform normal auto-hits. However, these are significantly enhanced and also faster than usual. As an added bonus, all enemies in your vicinity receive significant debuffs to attack and movement speed. Perfect for supporting your team or chasing down slow foes.
What are his advantages? The bulky warrior class is one of the strongest damage dealers in Lost Ark and lives up to its name. With his hefty hammer, you can literally annihilate your enemies and even sweep away normal mobs with a single hit.
His role is clearly assigned to the DPS classes, and he performs well in both PvE and PvP. However, the class truly shines in PvP, as his identity ability can put entire teams in precarious situations. Additionally, he can take a lot of hits and deliver substantial crowd control, making him a feared opponent in any PvP arena.

Five more classes will follow soon
What classes are coming next? In addition to the Destroyer and the Lance bearer, five more classes are waiting for you that will appear relatively quickly in our version. One of them even belongs to a completely new base class that does not currently exist in the West: the Specialist. This base class is modeled after a young girl and looks very childlike.
The other classes that await you in Lost Ark consist of:
The Scout – A subclass of the Shooter, who uses a combat drone and a submachine gun and can even transform into a kind of Iron Man.
The Reaper – This variation of the Assassin class dives into the fray with daggers and dark magic. She is even faster than her class colleagues.
The Summoner – She belongs to the Mage classes and was already playable in the beta. She defeats her opponents with temporary elemental summons with significant area damage.
The Arcanist – As a subclass of the Sorceress, she uses a deck of tarot cards as her weapon. She is powerful but very challenging, as her ability often depends on chance.
The Painter – As the first class of the new Specialists, the Painter wields a large brush in battle. She switches between black ink for damage and white ink for support abilities.
For the later future, two more classes have already been announced, but they do not exist in Korea yet. This includes a kind of weather mage, which is also supposed to belong to the Specialists. Additionally, a female version of the Berserker class is expected to come to the MMORPG at the end of 2022 or early 2023 to further lift the gender lock.
At this pace, Lost Ark would provide more content for at least 1.5 years, if not even longer. He also confirmed that the team still has ideas for numerous other classes. Lost Ark should hardly run out of steam that quickly.
But there is even more content than just new classes waiting for you in the MMORPG.
The best content is yet to come
What can you expect in terms of content? The endgame of Lost Ark is continuously being expanded, not only in Korea but also in the West. While we were already able to play the first Abyss Raid Argos in March, many more challenges are yet to come. Primarily those that make the game what it is.
Because not only new stories and continents can be expected but also numerous Guardian raids, dungeons, and really nasty boss enemies. The latter culminate in the so-called Legion Raids, which according to Gold River are among the best content in the entire MMORPG.
Legion Raids ramp up the difficulty
What exactly are Legion Raids? Admittedly, Lost Ark follows a strange naming convention with its endgame content. Between Abyssal, Guardian, and Legion Raids, one can get quite confused quickly. However, the Legion Raids are supposed to be the standout feature, according to the Game Director.
They not only increase the difficulty of the content but also augment the mechanical elements to a high standard, delivering the most spectacular battles in Lost Ark, which can stretch over an hour in 6 phases.
After the mistakenly published roadmap, Amazon also stated that they want to bring the first of these Legion Raids to the Western version of the MMORPG as soon as possible, as they would fundamentally change the experience of Lost Ark.
Valtan is the first Legion Raid we are supposed to get.
The Legion Raids get their name because you fight against the Legion Commanders known from the story, each leading their own army of demons. These bosses are particularly challenging to defeat and often split into several phases. Most of them will be tackled with two groups, meaning eight players.
They are characterized by requiring you to master complex mechanics and quick reactions to bring them down. They are the most difficult and, according to the developers, the best content available in Lost Ark. Of course, you will be well rewarded for this. Accordingly, they already belong to the endgame in Korea and are celebrated by fans.
When will Legion Raids arrive? When we can expect the first of the Legion Raids is still unclear. Amazon stated that they need to revise the roadmap regarding player speed. It is therefore conceivable that the first of these raids will take several weeks or even months to arrive.
However, most of you will probably need some time for this, as the first of these raids is accessible only from a gear score of 1,415. This is Valtan, whom you should already know from the story. You fight him for the first time in Luterra Castle shortly before Thirain becomes king.
The new version of Valtan, however, is far more challenging than the story boss who irritates you at level 28. Expect demanding mechanics and three phases you must master to bring down the Legion Commander.
The most recent of the Legion Raids, Abrelshud, is among the hardest content in the MMORPG and is even accessible only from a gear score of 1,470. Even a successful fight against this commander can last over 45 minutes.
In this video, you can see the complete fight against Abrelshud, which lasts 57 minutes:

For 2022, Lost Ark has already announced the next two Legion Raids, at least in the Korean version. What they will look like is still unknown. So it remains exciting.
The great sea will get even bigger
What else belongs to the best content? In an interview with Gold River, the Game Director told us that aside from the Legion Raids, the islands are also among his absolute favorite content in Lost Ark. More of these are supposed to be added to the game in 2022, but what makes the islands so great?
While many contents in Lost Ark often repeat after a certain point, the over 100 islands in the MMORPG are all unique. They tell exciting, funny, and sad stories and even introduce new mechanics.
Mechanics that would not work on a large continent and therefore on a truly grand scale find their place on the islands. Thus, you will often be pleasantly surprised when stumbling across the various islands in the ocean.
But the many islands in Arkesia are not only for fun; they also offer you a wealth of loot and provide you with unique mounts, skins, and other items. Additionally, you collect the valuable island hearts that bring new rewards across accounts.

In this MeinMMO podcast episode, Mark Sellner also talks about why the islands are a major highlight of the MMORPG.
What will the new islands bring? Smilegate is currently keeping this under wraps. However, we can assume that new stories and possibly new mechanics will await you once again. It is particularly exciting whether there will finally be tier 3 islands.
This is a frequently requested feature from the community, as all islands currently in our version are tier 2 in the game, which means in a gear score range between 802 and 1,100. Furthermore, the island quests provide players with tons of upgrade materials, which is exactly what tier 3 players are currently most wishing for.
If you already can’t get enough of the islands, you don’t have to worry about running out of content anytime soon. After all, the game director of Lost Ark loves the islands just as much as you do.
More fun for story and PvP fans – How does that fit together?
Story and PvP come together: After our version has already received new story content with the story of the Sideral Kadan, Lost Ark will really ramp up and even combine this with the PvP content of the game.
Don’t worry, story fans don’t have to constantly fight with other players, but a new continent holds an exciting twist. How this fits together and what you can expect will be shared without spoiling in this section.
New continents with more story
What continents are coming next? The story of Lost Ark is mostly told across the various continents. Currently, the story in Arkesia is far from complete, as a fan who speaks Korean reports that the developers of Lost Ark have indicated that we currently have only about 20% of the total story in the game (via reddit).
Korea itself is also not much further along in terms of the main story than we are. What awaits us next is the continent of South Vern, which naturally lies south of North Vern on the map. South Vern is part of the tier 3 content of the game and is accessible to you from a gear score of 1,340. The adventure in this region is also expected in April.
We certainly don’t want to spoil what the story in South Vern revolves around at this point. We can only say that the continent again stands out strongly, much like the previous ones, and sets its own setting to tell its story.
An initial glimpse shows the architecture of South Vern.
What is in store for the long term? In Korea, the new continent of Elgacia is set to arrive in 2022. Moreover, the continent of Voldaik is to be released in Korea later this year or early next year.
They are supposed to meaningfully continue the main story of Lost Ark, but much more is not yet known about the two continents. Whether the release of future islands will coincide with the continents is still a big question mark.
How does this fit with PvP? The most recent continent in Korea is called Rowen and is located in Northern Arkesia, left of Shushire. Rowen experiments with a system that you only know from islands and in a smaller framework: open-world PvP.
In icy Rowen, you can attack and kill other players without their consent. This is surprisingly well received in the Korean community, even though the PvP community there is still smaller than in the Western version. Additionally, Rowen brings some mechanics to prevent targeted camping and gang attacks, ensuring that no one has a disadvantage on the northern continent.
When Rowen will find its way to us is currently still uncertain. However, South Vern should be coming to the Western version of the MMORPG soon and continue the story of the lost Arks.
What can you expect in PvP? Currently, player versus player in Lost Ark is limited to duels among friends and three different arena modes that can be accessed normally in every city. However, this is not where it ends; Gold River announced this at LOA ON, a Lost Ark event in December.
We can expect exciting guild versus guild battles in the West, where you will compete as two guilds in a 20 vs. 20 format. The same rules apply as in duels with friends – combat items can be used, and healing potions will also work.
A siege battle mode, where a total of 96 players compete against each other on the battlefield, is also in development. In this mode, you and 47 other team members must capture certain points on a larger map. The longer you hold them, the more points you overall collect. After 20 minutes, the team with the most points wins the fight.
Speed and skill are also required in Lost Ark’s PvP, as this small clip shows:

Battle Royale in the MMORPG: Gold River also announced a kind of battle royale mode in Lost Ark’s PvP at the event. In this mode, each player is assigned a random class with an equally random build and must survive with it.
You don’t play with your own character, allowing you an introduction to the endgame of other classes, while you can have fun fighting with others, who are likely also overwhelmed. However, we don’t yet know how this will work in detail.
For the Horde! .. or another faction. The exact names of the two announced factions are currently unknown. However, there will soon be two factions in Lost Ark that will fight against each other. Gold River has not gone into detail about this yet.
This mechanic could possibly be a sensible addition, especially for the continent of Rowen, to make open-world PvP fairer for everyone and to support weaker players at the same time.
Feeling inspired? There’s more about Lost Ark here:
What else is there? In addition to the numerous major improvements and content that we have already announced, there will also be many smaller features that can and will significantly enhance the gaming experience.
One of them already exists in Korea, and fans in the West can hardly wait for it. Naturally, we’re talking about the direction indicator for various bosses. In Lost Ark, many attacks cause more damage when attacking from behind, from the front, or the side. However, it is often difficult to keep track.
The arrows will help you identify where the front and back of the boss are (via reddit).
This small quality-of-life feature will, upon request, equip the bosses with two large arrows that indicate to you at all times where the front and back of the enemy you are currently fighting are. In Korea, this small change is celebrated, and it will surely find great appeal among us here.
Additionally, you can expect the following smaller changes and additions:
More skins in the cash shop
Even more options for daily quests
Further expansion options for your own island
Many exciting events and mini-games in the style of Mario Party
Regular balance adjustments to keep the game fair
More user interface improvements
More Guardian Raids and Abyssal Dungeons
Existing raids and Abyssal Dungeons in multiple difficulty levels
Smaller stories revolving around known characters from the story
Lost Ark can accompany you for many hundreds of hours if you can handle the grind
After over 400 hours in Lost Ark, I am still having a great time every day. The emphasis is on the end of the previous sentence because if you really want to keep up, you need a lot of time.
Lost Ark is not an MMORPG that you can play well casually. Although it treats your time well and with respect, you need a lot of it to be able to compete. If you want to play the latest content, you will certainly need to invest 20 to 50 hours a month to keep your gear score current.
However, if you don’t mind that and have as much fun in this MMORPG as I do, you can expect content for the next years that will become better and more challenging with every update. Lost Ark has developed extremely well in the last 4 years in Korea, and we can assume that it will continue to improve in the coming years. In any case, I am looking forward to the further updates, and you might be as well.
Mark Sellner MMORPG author at MeinMMO
What do you think of the outlook on the changes and additions in Lost Ark? Will this MMORPG be your next game, or would you rather wait until the content is actually here? Feel free to write it in the comments here on MeinMMO.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
For some time now, the roadmap has been one of the biggest topics in the community surrounding the MMORPG Lost Ark. Now the developers are finally showing what awaits you in April and May. We at MeinMMO summarize.
But especially in the classes, there is a difference from the previously shown roadmap. Lost Ark is bringing a fan favorite as the first new class: the Lance Master, or as it will be called here, the Lance Bearer. In its place, the Arcana class, which was announced in the original timeline, must give way.
The Lance Bearer is expected to come to our version of Lost Ark sometime this month, April, and is the 5th advanced class of the martial artists. And the only one that wields a real weapon. She switches between a spear and a glaive, both of which have different abilities. The Lance Bearer has been highly requested by fans and is one of the most popular classes in Lost Ark. We have summarized more details about the classes in a large overview.
Here you can see the Lance Bearer in action:

The new continent South Vern will be the second Tier 3 area in our version of Lost Ark. You can enter it at Gearscore 1,340. Queen Ealyn of North Vern suspects that something is wrong in the south of the continent and sends you and Knight Commander Avele to look into it.
New login rewards.
New in-game events.
Some new skins and other shop updates.
A Feiton Power Pass, which pushes a new character directly to Gearscore 960 as soon as you use it. However, this only works if one of your characters has already completed the Feiton story.
Various quality-of-life improvements affecting chat and cooperative gameplay.
It is expected that the new events in the game will provide some upgrade materials. Although this is not officially confirmed, the developers write in the introduction of the roadmap that horizontal progression should still be the focus. They also want to find easier ways for characters to reach the desired Gearscore areas.
This first image is a preview of the continent South Vern
The Destroyer follows in May
What awaits you in May? The second new class coming to our version of Lost Ark is the Destroyer. This advanced class of warriors was previously promised in the first roadmap and is now actually making its way to the West.
The Destroyer is slow and swings a large war hammer into battle. He continuously fills his identity ability to ultimately slow down and weaken all opponents in his vicinity, only to literally destroy them.
However, the team behind Lost Ark is a bit vague about the other announcements for May, especially regarding the new raids. But first, let’s go to what is definitely coming to the game in May:
Introduction of the Trial Guardian Raids – Each week, 3 different guardians will be the focus that you need to defeat. These three special bosses will also offer special loot and will be adjusted to your Gearscore. However, note that you can only kill each of the three once per account per week. Overall, this means 3 loot opportunities each week.
Even more quality-of-life improvements, including an overview of already completed daily and weekly tasks, some UI updates, and new features for the marketplace and auction house, as well as new hairstyles for your characters.
The ability to summon a random mount so you don’t have to decide on one of the many different options.
Here you can see the Destroyer in action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlsS3AlQ5PY
What might await you in May? Amazon and Smilegate are still not completely sure about two special announcements for May. They pertain to the Guardian Raid Deskaluda (Gearscore 1,415) and the Legion Raid Valtan (Gearscore 1,415).
Thus, they announced the two bosses under condition. According to the publisher, players should be sufficiently prepared to face these bosses in May. If this is not the case, the two raid opponents will be postponed again. A statement that should be well received in the community.
Deskaluda is the Guardian Raid that you might expect in May
A look at the next roadmap
What comes next? Amazon emphasizes in the roadmap for the next two months that these are not all the contents waiting for you in Arkesia. They want to keep some surprises for the weekly updates, which will still occur every Thursday.
Another roadmap is expected to be released in June, once the contents of this announcement have been launched. Until then, Amazon wants to keep a close eye on player progress and analyze how the majority of fans continue to evolve in Arkesia, regarding both horizontal and vertical progression.
Furthermore, they want to collect player feedback to be even more flexible and responsive to fan wishes and events in the community.
What do you think of the roadmap for Lost Ark? Are you excited about the Lance Bearer or are you among those players who would have preferred the originally announced Arcana? What is your opinion on the two raids starting from 1,415? What do you think of the quality-of-life features? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
The Twitch streamer Kilian “Tanzverbot” Heinrich was on April 2 at the boxing event “The Great Fight Night”, where German livestreamers competed against each other in a boxing match. However, during the event, there was also a confrontation outside the ring between Tanzverbot and a “fan” of his.
How did the confrontation arise? It is not entirely clear. According to Tanzverbot, he was asked by drunk people at the boxing event if he wanted to take a photo with them. The streamer declined.
He was then apparently heckled, kicked, and shoved by the “fans”. Tanzverbot reported this in a tweet two days later.
A “fan” recorded how he asked Heinrich for a photo, which he declined and turned away. The person then insulted Tanzverbot several times. At some point, Heinrich turned back and pushed the “fan”.
After that, the two continued to confront each other, and the escalation was captured on video by an outside person. You can see the video and the clip of the “fan” here on Twitter:
In the clip, you can see how the “fan” was cornered while Tanzverbot pushed him against the fence behind him. He shouted: “Treat me like a normal human (…).”
Additionally, both exchanged various insults before security intervened and separated them.
What does the community say about the situation? While Tanzverbot notes in his tweet that he is now being criticized, most respondents are people who agree with the streamer and understand his reaction:
Hey Stan says: “Dirty internet, as always. You took selfies everywhere for hours and were always nice to everyone, but that doesn’t mean you have to stand ready for every jerk when you’re being heckled. Just look at the bigger picture.”
sech probably wouldn’t have stayed so “calm”: “What I would have done to that guy if I were you”
Mupf05 says: “No one who can think rationally criticizes you now. I think everyone should understand that.”
Haptic supports Tanzverbot: “You did everything right, most people will agree with you.”
Of course, there were also a few people who argued that he shouldn’t stoop to the same “gutter language” and should have just called security directly. Others think it would have been better if Tanzverbot had just walked away from the situation and not let himself be provoked further.
In the end, it seems that no one was injured during the altercation, as security arrived in time.
New World has had a difficult time. For months, the MMORPG recorded declining player numbers on Steam. At the end of March, the largest update since release, “Heart of Madness,” was released. This has a positive effect. MeinMMO shows you the current player numbers, which for the first time since release report an increase.
What does the trend look like? For months, New World lost thousands of players. As early as November 2021, the MMORPG recorded a loss of 62 % and approximately 255,000 players on Steam.
In the following months from December 2021 to March 2022, an additional 134,000 players turned their backs on New World. However, the current players, benefiting from the “Heart of Madness” release, are finally green.
With 21,379 (as of April 4, 2022, 15:45) average active players, an upward trend is evident. Compared to the previous month, approximately 340 players joined, representing a percentage increase of 1.62 % (via steamcharts.com).
New World player numbers on Steam. Source: Steamtrends (as of April 4, 2022, 15:45).
Are the new contents responsible for the increase?
Why the increase? With “Heart of Madness,” the largest New World update to date was released at the end of March 2022. In addition to several new contents in the open world, there was also a new weapon, the thunder rifle, and a new dungeon.
The new contents seem to be a good incentive for players to consider returning to New World or giving the game a first chance. MeinMMO shows you how the community reacted to the current player numbers:
u/HavucSquad via Reddit: “The perfect combination of a new weapon, expedition, and double XP for a quick boost. I play New World, so I would be happy if the numbers hold, but I’m not sure if that will be the case.”
u/Existence-ispain via Reddit: “[…] Maybe I’ll try it when the price drops. It’s nice to see the player count increasing.”
u/Mark_Knigh via Reddit: “In its current state, it’s not my thing, but for the industry’s sake, I really hope they can achieve a “Realm Reborn”-like turnaround.”
u/Elguan via Reddit:“Honestly, I came back this weekend at level 43 and am now almost 50. It’s not perfect and not really lively, but it feels better.”

New World presents the largest update since release in the trailer – with new dungeon
The MMORPG New World was released by Amazon Games in September 2021. In the early days, it impressed with high player numbers. The record for New World stands at 913,027 active players on Steam.
With a peak of over 37,000 players active on Steam within the last 30 days, the outlook appears positive for the first time in months. Do you expect another increase in New World’s player numbers?

2021 saw the release of a true gem for RPG fans on Steam with Solasta: Crown of the Magister. The indie title is largely based on the famous Dungeons & Dragons. Now, the RPG is getting a multiplayer mode. MeinMMO had the opportunity to try it out and tells you as part of Find Your Next Game, why Solasta is exactly the right choice for you in co-op.
Genre: Tactical RPG | Developer: Tactical Adventures | Platform: PC | Release: May 27, 2022
If you enjoy role-playing games, you’ll find a wide selection on Steam and other platforms. However, only a few games rely on famous templates or the pen-and-paper system upon which the RPG genre is actually based. Solasta was created specifically for such fans.
When Solasta was released in May 2021, the game was a pure single-player title. The community has since repeatedly asked for a co-op implementation. However, the indie studio behind Solasta, Tactical Adventures, was not yet ready to attempt the complex mode.
Until now. On April 14, 2022, the free co-op update will be released alongside the paid DLC “Lost Valley.” After Solasta already conducted a first but limited test for multiplayer, we were now able to get a Germany-exclusive look at the co-op and the new DLC together with the developers.

The DLC “Primal Calling” has already brought new content into the game, and the community is showcasing gameplay.
An RPG based on ancient models
What is Solasta actually? As a tactical RPG, you play Solasta mostly in turn-based mode. In each battle, the order of combatants is determined by rolling dice. One by one, you then use abilities, attacks, or spells.
The entire game is based on the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons, similar to the upcoming Baldur’s Gate 3. Dungeons & Dragons is a so-called “pen and paper” game, meaning it is an analog role-playing game enjoyed together with friends at the table.
Successes and failures are determined by dice rolls and corresponding bonuses. The available classes like wizard and barbarian mostly come from the rulebook, although some of the specializations are original creations from the developers.
The dice still exist in nearly every role-playing game today. They usually operate in the background, and you don’t notice them. However, every random factor is based on a dice principle, and damage numbers like 6 – 24 correspond to rolling 6 dice with 4 sides.
However, Solasta is not just about combat; it features its own story that you can experience. You assemble a party of 4 adventurers and complete quests. You explore numerous areas or use your skills to persuade, seduce, or steal from NPCs.
A party without a party
What is the problem with Solasta? The RPG focuses fully on the principle that an adventuring party travels together. The developers emphasized this point during discussions: You play a party, not individual heroes who come together – as seen in Divinity.
This should also be reflected in the game. Decisions are always made as a group, and as a player, you typically control all characters. While this corresponds to the D&D model, it does take away a bit of dynamism.
Competitors like Pathfinder or Divinity shine through the deep backstories of individual characters. This is lacking in Solasta and has been one of the criticisms so far.
However, the co-op mode completely eliminates this problem. You still play an adventuring party, but since there is a player behind each character, their role is suddenly filled with life.
Multiplayer feels like sitting at the table with friends
This is how multiplayer works: In multiplayer, everyone controls one or more characters – just as it would be in a tabletop RPG session. For example, when playing as a duo, each player creates 2 characters; when playing as a group of four, each creates one character.
You explore and fight together. Each person can largely decide where to go or what to do.
While the lawful good players of the group might be helping an old lady, the rogue could be attempting to meddle with her jewelry box. This is, of course, a purely hypothetical scenario…
Certain decisions like resting or fast traveling are made collectively. Either the entire group needs to come together, or the host makes the decision.
Cutscenes are also experienced together, so everyone can get involved in the story equally.
Why is the co-op so good now? In co-op, Solasta develops its own dynamic. Since you no longer control the entire group alone, each character logically has their own will.
Everyone decides for themselves whether they want to stay with the group, go explore alone, or split up tasks that everyone has to complete. Most prominently, this leads to chaos in battles.
If you play alone, you can plan a battle exactly as you envision it. However, as a group, you need coordination and communication. If this is lacking or a command is misunderstood, it can quickly happen that the wizard in the back row is suddenly overwhelmed by enemies because the fighters and barbarians all rushed forward at the same time.
Additionally, there is friendly fire in Solasta. A fireball hits ALL creatures in the target area, and certain abilities also affect both friend and foe. Those with particularly mischievous ideas can create quite a mess here and provide some laughs.
By the way, the developers are planning a sort of democracy system for conversation options, similar to Dying Light 2. Players will be able to vote on how to interact with NPCs. However, this was not yet available in our test.
You can see the gameplay from our session neatly summarized in this video:

What can I play in co-op? The entire game is supposed to be compatible with the new mode. Both the main story and any current and upcoming DLC can be played with friends starting April 14.
During discussions, developers revealed that even old save files can be used. So if you want to invite someone or need help, you can simply load your save file and open it for the co-op mode.
Solasta even offers the possibility to create your own dungeons and thus create your own stories. The mode is ideal for any “Dungeon Master” who wants to make their game a bit more interactive.
New DLC brings at least 20 hours more gameplay
The co-op mode of Solasta will be released along with the “Lost Valley” DLC. Here, you experience a story that runs parallel to the main story of the game, and you can start at level 1. The DLC features include:
a complete campaign, independent of the main story
various endings depending on your choices in the campaign
new areas and enemies
9 new subclasses
new environments for the dungeon maker
The biggest difference is the size of the map. You have vast areas to explore, filled with secrets and new enemies. You will also encounter various factions that you can support – and even must, if you want to survive.
According to the developers, the campaign is expected to take about 20 hours. Since you can experience various endings, replayability is also intended.
A major advantage of the co-op system is that only the host needs all the materials. This means: If you want to play a save file that includes DLC classes or stories, you do not need to purchase the respective DLCs separately.
The game master will provide you with their save file and all content used for it. You only need the base game to actually start Solasta.
If you enjoy playing games cooperatively with friends, you should take a closer look at Solasta starting April 14 at the latest. As someone who has been playing pen-and-paper for over 10 years and mostly D&D, I am really looking forward to the co-op mode.
Solasta has done a really good job implementing the rule set, and creations like the new sub-classes provide variety. I will definitely try to encourage my role-playing group to give the game a chance.
However, if you are among the lucky ones who still have a few people for meetups, a completely different genre may interest you: Board games. There are cooperative versions of those as well:
Many gamers use a gaming mouse on their PC. But is a 20-year-old mouse worth it? A well-known YouTuber gave it a try.
Most users game on their gaming PC with a gaming mouse. Manufacturers regularly release new products to improve their devices or equip them with new features. You can also find the best current gaming mice on MeinMMO.
But can you still game smoothly with old hardware today? A YouTuber bought a 20-year-old mouse and compared it to a top mouse from 2022.
YouTuber compares 20-year-old gaming mouse with top mouse
What did the YouTuber test? YouTuber Linus Sebastian from Linus Tech Tips compared the well-known G Pro Wireless from Logitech with the Razer Boomslang in his video.
The G Pro Wireless was among the most popular gaming mice among professionals in 2022. It is very lightweight, works wirelessly, and uses Logitech’s current top sensor, which delivers up to 25,000 DPI.
The Boomslang 2000 was released at the end of 1999 and uses a ball inside. This ball helps transmit movement to the computer. With a resolution of 2000 DPI, the mouse is far behind the G Pro Wireless.
How does it feel to play with both mice? Linus tests both mice using the Aimlab program. Here he must hit targets at a distance with a pistol within a certain time. He conducts the test sequentially with both mice:
With the G Pro Wireless, Linus hits 114 out of 159 shots, achieving an accuracy of 71%.
With the Boomslang 2000, Linus hits a total of 79 out of 132 shots, achieving an accuracy of 59%.
While he can hit numerous targets easily with the G Pro Wireless, Linus has greater difficulties with the Boomslang 2000. Overall, he is not very enthusiastic, which you can also see in his video:

The video from Linus Tech Tips on the Razer Boomslang.
He explains that the gaming mouse is extremely uncomfortable. After a short time, his arm, shoulder, and wrist hurt. He can only imagine how his arm would feel after two weeks.
With the ball, there is another problem: If you move the mouse strongly with the ball, you cannot control the movement of the ball properly because it keeps rolling a bit further. In everyday life, there is also a slight drift to the right.
Because of the ball, the entire mouse is also very heavy. While the Logitech G Pro weighs only 81 grams, the Razer Boomslang 2000 weighs 141 grams.
What does the ball actually do? The ball moves disc plates inside the mouse that are responsible for the X and Y axes (each a movement direction). An LED lights up through the holes of the disc plates. The sensor can then translate these light impulses into movements, and the driver on the PC takes care of the representation.
Of course, you can still game with an old mouse in 2022. However, Linus does not want to recommend the old mouse because there are simply too many good alternatives available in 2022.
Today you won’t find a ball in any mouse
What is used today? Today, all manufacturers use optical sensors in mice. Ball mice were prone to dirt, and you had to regularly clean the ball and the inside of the mouse.
Big manufacturers like Razer, Roccat, or Logitech now rely on their own developments in sensor technology or on well-known solutions from PixArt, which is one of the largest manufacturers in the sensor field.
More mouse stories: You can also read on MeinMMO how the gaming mouse got its name. Here we explain why the mouse is called that and tell you the story behind it:
A particularly fancy mount in World of Warcraft is easy to obtain. We will reveal how to unlock the noble jellyfish “Deepstar Aurelid” as a flying mount.
Zereth Mortis is full of mysteries, many of which remain unsolved to this day. However, some of the more obvious “Secrets” are the mounts that can be found there. Not only can you craft fancy mounts through the Protogenesis, but you can also earn a particularly beautiful jellyfish relatively easily. It’s the Deepstar Aurelid from Hirukon – but how do you get it?
Who is Hirukon? Hirukon is a rare mob in Zereth Mortis. Though calling him “Rare” is somewhat of an exaggeration, as he respawns approximately every 30 minutes after being defeated. The problem is, he cannot just be easily smacked down like other rare enemies. Instead, he sits deep in the water at coordinates 52 / 75 and is untargetable there.
The trick to lure him out of his hiding place is a special bait called “Aurelid bait.” We will tell you how to get it.
Farming Aurelid bait for Hirukon – Here’s how
The first step of the task is incredibly simple yet probably the most time-consuming matter: Fishing.
Everywhere in the pond where Hirukon resides, you can cast your line and catch various fish. The goal is to reel in a “Strange Slime,” which can appear as additional loot with every fishing cast.
The chance of getting the “Strange Slime” is roughly 1 / 1500. So you should plan to spend a lot of time fishing – or just watch a series on a second monitor in the meantime. Generally, it also helps to pass the time with other players on Discord or simply fish together.
Hirukon is deep underwater – not reachable by normal means.
A particularly high fishing skill is not required, nor is a special rod.
If you have pulled the “Strange Slime” out of the water at some point, you have already mastered the hardest part of the task – after that, it becomes significantly easier.
You now need to collect 3 more items that are scattered throughout the world of WoW. You can find all 3 in locations that hold special significance for Lady Vashj.
Travel to the Zangarmarsh (The Burning Crusade) and swim into the Lizards’ Cauldron. Before the instance portals, where you leave the water, you should see a special swarm. Fish here to obtain a “Stinking Blobfish” – this should succeed right after the first cast of your line.
Now travel to Nazjatar (Battle for Azeroth) and head to coordinates 73 / 24. There you should see a swarm of Finfish. Fish here as well. But beware! Once you catch the fish, it will “jump” out of your inventory and try to escape. You must click on it again in the game world to catch it permanently.
For the last item, travel to the Shimmering Expanse in Vash’jir (Cataclysm). At coordinates 35 / 75, you can click on a small green root to obtain the Spiralclaw Tentacle. This task is quite tricky since Vash’jir has multiple layers. You need to be on a sort of “balcony” on the middle level of the large palace. Above you is still a ceiling, and below you is not yet the ocean floor. Since the green root is on green ground, the search may take a little while.
Crafting the Aurelid bait
Once you have the “Strange Slime,” “Stinking Blobfish,” “Finfish,” and “Spiralclaw Tentacle” in your inventory, you can travel to Maldraxxus. Fly to coordinates 58 / 92 there.
The Naga lady stands by a pond and is fishing. Once you have collected all the items for her, she will exchange the Aurelid bait with you.
Now travel back to Zereth Mortis and to the pond where Hirukon is waiting. Use the Aurelid bait, and you will be able to see a special swarm called the “Aurelid swarm” for 15 minutes. Cast your line, and as soon as a fish bites within the swarm, Hirukon should emerge from his hiding place. This will be announced with an emote throughout the area, so expect that other players will join as well.
The mount looks quite stunning. Well, Pocopoc too.
If you were the one who used the Aurelid bait, Hirukon will drop the mount Deepstar Aurelid for you 100% of the time. If you just participate in the kill without using the bait, there’s only a small chance that you will get the mount.
Although the Deepstar Aurelid is a jellyfish, it also serves as a pretty cool flying mount!
By the way: You can collect the Aurelid bait from Vashj once a week. You do not have to fish for the items again. So if you still need loot from Hirukon or want to give your friends a chance at the mount, make sure to regularly collect the bait to summon Hirukon again.
Can you also get it without fishing? Yes, it’s possible. You have a chance to get the mount every time Hirukon is killed – even if you don’t possess or use the bait. It’s worth being present at a Hirukon kill daily if you still don’t have the mount and just have no luck with the bait.
This is also interesting for all sword-wielders, as Hirukon can drop one of the colorful energy swords, which are among the most beautiful weapons Patch 9.2 has to offer.
Have you farmed the bait for Hirukon yet?

On April 1st, Call of Duty: Warzone suddenly changed completely. On the day of the pranksters, the developers changed the rules in the main modes of the Battle Royale, which hit the mark for many players. MeinMMO shows you reactions to the nonsense.
What happened on April 1st in Warzone? The free Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone took itself and its players lightly on April 1st with ridiculous game modes.
In the normal Battle Royale, there were no parachutes and, accordingly, no fall damage. Additionally, explosives and incendiary grenades caused bouncy flight sessions.
On the smaller map Rebirth Island, however, there were crazy bonuses at the start of the match and a furious end. At the beginning, all players had the extremely strong specialist bonus and a free loadout crate.
Moreover, the “respawn timer” did not end, and both friends and foes kept coming back into the game as long as one team member was left.
The modes displaced the normal modes on April 1st, and Warzone players had to deal with it one way or another. Overall, this was very well received, but it also highlighted the problems with Battle Royale, which does not dare enough.
Pranksters went to Caldera, Sweat players to Rebirth Island
What were the players’ reactions? If you look at the subreddit for Warzone, you can find many positive thoughts about the April Fool’s prank of Warzone.
Users had a lot of fun with the following clip: “The update on the first of April is killing me” – reddit.com.
In the clip, a squad is having a great time with the crazy mechanics. The bouncy effect was also triggered by incendiary ammunition, and players could shoot enemies across half the map. The contagious laughter of the player in the clip kept the momentum going.
Many Warzone soldiers tested the limits of the mechanics, using grenades for vertical flights or just messing around with their teammates:
Equivalent_Minimum94 in the reddit thread: “I almost fell out of my chair last night. My friend and I were in a very small room and threw Molotovs on the floor. We bounced off the walls like rabbits on drugs. I had tears in my eyes.”
For those who found the outrageous rules on Caldera too crazy, Rebirth Island offered relief. Due to the strong bonuses at the start of the match and the lax rules on respawning, it was a sweat-fest like no other, catering to a different audience.
PM_Me_Frosted_Tits: “I played so damn aggressively. That’s why it was so much fun.” (via reddit)
BuddyBaja: “I’ve never had so much fun on Rebirth Island. Played for 10 – 12 hours straight yesterday.” (via reddit)
There were also some players who did not like all these rule changes. But most commentators at least liked one thing: the madness on Caldera or the insanity on Rebirth Island.
Why does it highlight a problem of Warzone? The Battle Royale took a risk on April 1st and suddenly brought in 2 totally wacky modes, which provided a lot of variety.
User “JadrianInc” summed it up well with his comment on reddit: “We don’t get enough limited-time ‘out of the box’ modes. Party modes in a Battle Royale are such a great fun!”
Special modes with crazy rules have actually only taken place regularly in Warzone during Halloween. However, many players believe that it doesn’t always have to be that complicated.
Just shake things up a bit, try out nonsense, force players to adapt to a different dynamic – that worked really well, provided variety and gave people something to talk about.
When the former biggest speedrunner Narcissa “NarcissaWright” Wright was banned from Twitch, she threatened on March 22 to shoot people at the livestream platform’s headquarters. After she spammed Twitter wildly and showed remorse, Twitch decided to lift the permanent ban and unban her after 22 days. “Classic double standards from Twitch,” say other content creators who find the handling unfair.
Warning: This article addresses the topics of mass shootings and suicidal thoughts. If such topics are uncomfortable for you, you should avoid this article.
This is the situation:After NarcissaWright was banned and threatened on Twitter to kill other people and herself, she wrote at least 40 more tweets, expressing her thoughts and stating that she urgently wanted to talk to Twitch about the “incident.”
Apparently she was successful and shared on Twitter that she was grateful. Below is a screenshot from the email from Twitch, which informed her that the ban would end after 22 days since Narcissa expressed clear remorse:
Her streamer colleagues and YouTuber Optimus find this “special treatment” anything but fair and believe that Twitch clearly has favorites on their platform.
“Twitch shows its double standards once again”
What do her streamer colleagues say about it? Streamer JiDion expressed that he wishes the streaming service would apply the same rules for all users on the platform. There are too many “special cases” that almost make the guidelines on Twitch unnecessary.
“Sometimes they follow their guidelines for one and sometimes they don’t for another,” JiDion said (via YouTube).
This is what the big Twitch streamer Mizkif says: Mizkif could hardly believe that the tweet along with the screenshot of the email from NarcissaWright was real (via Twitch). “This can’t be real,” he said in disbelief, comparing her ban to the permanent ban of streamer Destiny, who was apparently banned due to an inappropriate statement about a transgender streamer.
Mizkif further argues that Destiny has never said anything as bad as Wright. It is simply unfair. He compared the banning decisions at Twitch to darts: One would simply throw a dart at a dartboard at Twitch and the hit field would decide the ban.
What does opinion YouTuber Optimus say? In his YouTube video titled “Twitch shows its double standards once again,” he criticizes that many streamers are treated completely differently. He cited a past permanent ban where a streamer was banned because a weapon was visible while he was being robbed in his car.
The streamer had no control over the violation of the guidelines prohibiting weapons from being shown in livestreams, yet he was permanently banished from the platform.
Furthermore, he mentions the double standards between men and women on Twitch. According to Optimus, women are treated differently on Twitch and their penalties are not as severe as those for men.
He claims: “My butt would be in jail, I would lose my career and be permanently banned from Twitch” and continued: “Someone they like – a woman – did this, so that’s okay.”

The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused a lot of commotion
What does the community say about the change in NarcissaWright’s ban?
Under the tweet from Wright, many users are gathering who cannot comprehend Twitch’s decision. They write:
iFantomeN says: “Imagine threatening to shoot people and getting off with a light punishment. @TwitchSupport you should keep her permanently banned and take legal action due to the death threats.”
vvvvvictoria_ says: “Absolutely disgusting that they let you back on the platform.”
Sley addresses the double standards: “Terrible decision from Twitch. Nothing personal against you, but they have obviously acted biased.”
verne finds it unfair: “Meanwhile, my account that I created in 2013 is still banned because the username is ‘offensive.'”
Few voices support NarcissaWright’s unbanning and state that she acted out of impulse. Some say she deserves to express her opinion freely.
If Twitch’s decision does not change, NarcissaWright may go live again from April 12.

At a certain point in Lost Ark, you reach the quest in the main story that sends you to Rohendel. But how do you actually get there? We at MeinMMO will explain it to you.
How do you get to Rohendel? The more important question is rather when than how. Because “how” is easy to answer – you take your ship and sail to Rohendel. You can find the continent on the left side of the world map, above Yorn and below Feiton.
As a destination, you should keep an eye on the harbor of “Lake Shiverwave”. It appears on the world map with a small yellow anchor at the bottom side of Rohendel. There you can set your waypoint and sails.
But first, try to see if you can actually set your waypoint to Rohendel; if you cannot and an error message appears, the way to the continent of the elves is still blocked.
When can you go to Rohendel? In order to set out to Rohendel, you need to complete some preparatory work first. First, you have to accomplish the following:
Level 50
Completion of the continents Arthetine, North Vern, and Shushire
Reaching a gear score of 460 by upgrading your equipment
Completion of the quests “A New Journey” and “Wall of Procyon”
A conversation with the queen of North Vern
Once you have completed everything in this order, the way to Rohendel will be open to you, and you can continue your search for the Arks. If you need some help with the quests, just keep reading.
On the left side of the map, you will find the continent Rohendel
Tip: If your ship is below level 5, you should try to circumvent the dangerous waters or make use of the repair stations for 300 pirate coins; otherwise, it will be very tight.
Completion: A New Journey
How does the quest work? Once you reach a gear score of 460, you automatically unlock the purple guide quest “A New Journey”. It can only be accepted by a character in your roster, and your future heroes will not need to go through this effort again but can head directly to Rohendel.
The new journey sends you to the Island of Wisdom, which you might already know from Neria’s rapport quest. You will find the island south of East Luterra and west of South Rimeria.
Upon arriving on the island, follow the path into the big house and speak with the fairy Minerva, who will send you to look for the book “Sea of Balance”. It is located in the same house in the lower left corner.
Once you have found the book, you must speak with Minerva again; she mentions the Wall of Procyon, which is preventing you from reaching Rohendel. Then, you will go back to Vern to speak with Queen Ealyn. This is where the quest “A New Journey” ends.
Both quests must be completed before you can go to Rohendel
Completion: Wall of Procyon
How does the quest work? If you have already upgraded your ship a bit, it might be the case that you overlook this quest. Queen Ealyn gives you the task of improving your ship so that you can survive the stormy seas of Procyon. It is much rougher there than in the previous waters.
If you own an Estoque, a White Wind, or a Stormbreaker of level 2, the quest is considered complete, and you can set sail for Rohendel. If not, you will first need to go to a harbor and upgrade one of the three ships before you can speak with Ealyn again.
Once that is done, you can head to the harbor and set sails towards Rohendel. Try to circumvent the dangerous waters if possible, or make use of repair options at sea. The journey is perilous and will take a toll on your ship.
Have you already reached Rohendel yourself? What did you think of the quest line to get there? And how long did it take you to reach gear score 460? Feel free to tell us in the comments here at MeinMMO.
Wargaming, the developer and publisher of World of Tanks and World of Warships, has announced that it will leave Russia and Belarus. The reason is “a strategic review of global business operations.”
In a new statement, Wargaming mentions that as of March 31, 2022, the management for the live service in Russia and Belarus has already been transferred to Lesta Studio. The publisher will no longer be responsible for its games in these two countries.
The goal is “to have no businesses in Russia or Belarus anymore.”
During the transition period, the products will still be available through the new owner. However, Lesta Studio has no connection to Wargaming. Therefore, no profits will flow from Lesta Studio to Wargaming.
It is therefore expected that there will be “significant revenue losses.” Additionally, the studio in Minsk is currently being dissolved. Affected employees are promised “the highest level of support” from Wargaming.
MeinMMO has contacted Wargaming. However, at this time, the studio is not providing any further statements.
Our expertise at MeinMMO relates to gaming. Those who want to learn more about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine are recommended to inform themselves on official sites or news magazines:
– Ukraine Live Blog (via Zeit) – War in Ukraine (via nzz) – Solidarity with Ukraine (via foreign-office)
Important note:If you are struggling with dark thoughts due to the current situation: You are not alone. Please seek help. For example, at the telephone counseling service at 0800/111 0 111 or the online counseling, where you can also use a chat. This is free of charge and applies nationwide.
Publisher leaves Russia after war in Ukraine
Wargaming is known for its war games and simulations as well as for accurate details. For this reason, World of Tanks has been controversially discussed since the beginning of the war. Some of the most well-known streamers of the game used this to raise donations:
