The community celebrates the roadmap of Lost Ark: “These are the best changes ever”

Mark Sellner 6. April 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

The roadmap in Lost Ark has been a hotly discussed topic for a long time. Now it is finally official and live, the schedule for the next months is set, and apparently, Amazon has done everything right because the community is celebrating the upcoming content – if there weren’t one thing. We from MeinMMO summarize.

What’s wrong with the roadmap? It was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, topic in the “Lost Ark” community over the last few weeks. When are new classes coming and which ones? When will there be new content? These questions occupied the fans almost daily.

With the published roadmap, there is now at least an answer for the next two months, and it makes most players happy. Because alongside new events, skins, and so on, new raids, classes, and a new continent are also coming to the MMORPG.

To summarize, the following contents will definitely appear by the end of May:

The new class Lance Master
The new class Destroyer
The continent South Vern from gear score 1,340
New skins, costumes, and hairstyles
A whole bunch of quality-of-life improvements

What exactly is still on the roadmap can be found in our article about it.

The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark

Autoplay

The roadmap incorporates everything the community wanted: A few weeks ago, a roadmap appeared on the internet that contained outdated information. It promised, among other things, the class of Arcana and new raids as early as April. This information heated up discussions within the community even more.

Many fans did not understand why the Arcana was chosen, although in most polls, the Lance Master was clearly ahead of most other classes. Furthermore, players wanted more quality-of-life features and were dissatisfied that high-end content came to the game too quickly.

The new schedule from Amazon is set to bring the new high-end raids only at the end of May, if at all. They say that player progress needs to be monitored for that, and these contents will only appear in May under reservation.

Nevertheless, most fans feel addressed by the changes. The two new classes excite many players within the community, and the announced quality-of-life changes also bring great joy.

This seems to have temporarily saved the new roadmap’s mood in the community and even managed to bring back some people who had already quit the game. As a fan confirmed on Reddit: “I actually had quit, but now I have to come back.”

This is what the fans say: To get a bit closer to the mood in the Reddit of Lost Ark, we would like to share some statements from the community:

Cloudyworlds writes about the QoL changes: “Oh my God, this will save me so much time. This is really genius.”
EristicMeow is excited about the new class: “I can’t wait to be one of thousands of new Lance Masters!”
BankaiPwn writes: “These are the best changes ever, great job!”
MyPostForAiur is also excited: “Okay, the Lance Master is coming, I don’t need to know anything else. I’m so incredibly happy about this!”
MadMeow wishes for new mages: “One sorceress. The 5th martial artist and the 4th warrior are coming, and we still only have one real sorceress. That feels wrong.”

What do you personally think of Amazon’s roadmap? Are you excited about the Lance Master or would you rather have something else? How do you assess the situation of the sorceresses in Lost Ark? Is the sorceress enough for you? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments here on MeinMMO, we look forward to hearing from you.

In the MMORPG Lost Ark, you can expect years of new content – we show you what else is to come

Furthermore, they listened to the community and replaced the Arcana with the Lance Master, which positively resonates with fans on Reddit. However, some love the numerous quality-of-life features even more than the new classes.

“I can hardly decide what I like best”

The community celebrates the announcements: The feedback from the players in Lost Ark is overwhelmingly positive according to the announcements. The thread of the roadmap gathered over 3,500 upvotes and 1,100 comments on Reddit within a few hours, most of which are positive.

The only disappointment comes from fans who are still waiting for mage classes. Because with the Sorceress, there is currently only one real mage in our version of Lost Ark. Both the Summoner in beta and the Arcana in the wrong roadmap have been postponed for the time being, which annoys some players.

Nevertheless, most fans feel addressed by the changes. The two new classes excite many players within the community, and the announced quality-of-life changes also bring great joy.

This seems to have temporarily saved the new roadmap’s mood in the community and even managed to bring back some people who had already quit the game. As a fan confirmed on Reddit: “I actually had quit, but now I have to come back.”

The heads of Diablo Immortal say: “Diablo Immortal is a large and ambitious MMO”

Leya Jankowski 6. April 2022 Reading time 7 minutes

In a world exclusive 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) explain what changes are to come between beta and release, and how the balance between PvE and PvP content looks.

On the occasion of Find Your Next Game and the upcoming release of Diablo Immortal, we still had questions about the big mobile offshoot of Diablo, such as: changes from beta to release, the balance between PvE and PvP content, loot, and social features.

In the first part of the interview, we discussed the main campaign: This is how long the story campaign of Diablo Immortal lasts.

MeinMMO: Diablo Immortal already feels quite “finished”. What still needs polishing and at what point do you say: Now we are done?

Cheng: The goal is to launch in the first half of 2022. So we are already on the final stretch, and I think we can do it. The main focus we are currently trying to address is incorporating feedback from the last beta. There was feedback about:

the Paragon system, allowing players to continue leveling after reaching the maximum level
the strength of set items that were introduced there and which players obtain from dungeons
the social system

Diablo Immortal is an MMO, which differentiates it from other Diablo titles, especially Diablo 3. You could play Diablo 3 in multiplayer, but many still played solo. Immortal aims to make social interactions rewarding and interesting. We have looked at how players behave to see how often they visit dungeons in groups, how many friends they accumulate or join clans. Such activities should be worthwhile, and we are now adjusting that.

One of the biggest changes since the beta is to facilitate social interaction

MeinMMO: What were the experiences with the social components in the game? Were they used often or were you not entirely happy with them?

Cheng: The biggest change we are making is to the Cycle of Strife, our biggest feature. There is a faction called “Immortals”, a group of about 300 players who have defeated all other challengers in PvP. That’s why they are the Immortals and can do special things that no one else on the server can do – like a special raid for 48 players, Kion’s Ordeal.

To become an Immortal, you first have to join the “Shadows” faction. The Shadows have the opportunity to challenge the Immortals once a week to claim the title.

One of the biggest changes is happening here. When you wanted to become a Shadow in the beta, you had to join the faction and then become part of a “Dark House” with other players. If your group was successful, all houses were dissolved, and a few people became Immortals. If they were then overthrown, they returned to being adventurers. But a week later, when the houses reformed, you had to find everyone again.

We are now getting rid of that system of having to find the groups again. Instead, we are using clans. These are permanent social structures that you can join. The entire clan starts as adventurers and can then become a shadow that can challenge an immortal clan. If you are successful, the whole clan will become the new Immortals. This way, you can stay together for as long as possible without having your groups constantly dissolved and needing to find your friends again.

MeinMMO: That actually sounds reasonable, considering how social systems work in MMORPGs. But we were also curious about the system and were surprised that PvP constitutes such a large part of the game. In the predecessors, there were really crazy builds with super strong synergies. How will the balance work in Diablo Immortal, especially in PvP?

Grubb: The advantage is that in Immortal we don’t have 1v1, but group fights. This allows more freedom in balancing. Everyone on the battlefield has a role and an influence on the fight, without a small detail that gives the advantage. Everyone can participate and influence the outcome of the battle, regardless of the level of their build or skills.

“We do not want a guild to reign endlessly“

MeinMMO: In faction-based PvP MMORPGs, there is sometimes the problem of power guilds – players who simply dominate the server and only accept the best players. How will you tackle that?

Cheng: We have 2 measures against it, but first a point: If there are strong players who team up with like-minded people, then that means there is something to team up for. So I don’t see that as entirely bad.

Still, we do not want an immortal guild to reign endlessly. That’s why shadows become a bit stronger each week, depending on how they perform. They receive about a 5% damage increase in PvP. And after a few weeks, this bonus can become strong enough to overthrow the Immortals.

Another rule in the game states that you cannot become an Immortal if you were one in the previous cycle. There must be at least 100 new players coming to power.

In extreme cases, you have 2 guilds alternating. But since the dark clans also fight against each other for the right to become Immortals, we expect more like 4 or 5 clans. We observed this in the beta as well.

For everyone who is not interested in this complex 100-player PvP and just wants to play with their friends, there are “Warbands.” This is a feature that focuses on you and your group of 8 close friends. This is meant to feel more like family. Because in MMOs with large clans of 30-100 players, you rarely get to know the people well. You usually have 4-8 really good friends, and for them, we want to create a unique social structure.

MeinMMO: So, if I’m not interested in the big Immortal war at all, can I just go with my friends and do dungeons?

Cheng: Yes, that’s right! Dungeons and especially raids. We have raids for 8 players. So you can play these raids up and down with your 7 friends.

Grubb: The Warbands are meant for PvE-oriented goals and do not play a role in the Cycle of Strife. And as Wyatt already said, we want to create an endeavor for the Warbands with raids and dungeons.

How powerful does my smartphone need to be for Diablo Immortal? The specs: The MMO will offer large PvP battles, for which the phone must have corresponding performance. We asked about the specs that Blizzard provided to us after our conversation.

iOS
– iPhone 6s and better
– iOS 11 and better

Android
– Android 5.0 and better

CPU: SDM450 Snapdragon 450 / Exynos 7884 and better
GPU: Adreno 506 / Mali-G71 MP2 and better
RAM: 2GB and better

*Note: These are expected but not final specs, as the game’s optimization is still being worked on.

As an MMO, Diablo Immortal will constantly be expanded with raids and bosses

MeinMMO: We also found the balance between PvP and PvE particularly interesting. We had the feeling that the endgame is very PvP-heavy, but we also know that there are many people who place more value on PvE. What does the balance look like, how much PvE is there and how much PvP is there? Can I still have fun if I only play PvE?

Grubb: Immortal is designed to last for several years and receive updates – including raids. We have only shown a few of the Helliquary bosses so far and tested them in the beta, but more will come with higher difficulty levels. Just as players are used to from MMOs and endgame raid content. Evergreen content that we can continuously expand and renew.

MeinMMO: Are there other loot that can be obtained from different activities? Or: Do I need to engage in PvP and PvE to get everything?

Cheng: Good question. [He thinks for a long time.] I actually wanted to say that you can get everything in PvE. But I have to think briefly about whether that’s really true. I believe you get everything from PvE, yes.

But there are rewards for PvP, which is why I hesitate so much. You get additional drops or more currencies for the vendors. The currencies can also be obtained elsewhere, for example in the Battle Pass. So yes, I believe you get all rewards from both areas. PvP is more of an alternative way to obtain them.

Grubb: I believe the only thing PvP offers that PvE does not are the buffs at the end of the cycle. They depend on your performance in the previous cycle. But these are not buffs intended to significantly modify your character. So you don’t need them for PvE content.

Wyatt Cheng, Game Director of Diablo Immortal

MeinMMO: What do I need these buffs for then?

Grubb: They are more of a reflection of your participation in the cycle. If you performed well, defeated many opponents, you receive a buff that shows that. Like a PvP title.

Cheng: Shadows and Immortals are part of the PvP system, but that doesn’t mean you as an individual have to participate. You can join the shadows and complete a few “missions” to help your Dark House. This way, you receive a buff at the end of the cycle without ever entering an 8v8 battle.

MeinMMO: Assuming I wanted to be one of the players who want to get the absolute maximum out of their character. What would I have to do?

Cheng: Every item can drop anywhere. We stick to the traditional Diablo experience of randomness. I think the best way is the raid content. But you never know where you will ultimately find your items.

Diablo Immortal is a large and ambitious MMO

MeinMMO: One last question to conclude: Mobile games have a reputation for being casual, although they are becoming increasingly complex. Some people are wondering how “hardcore” Diablo Immortal will be. On a scale from casual to core, where would the game be?

Grubb: It’s a Diablo game, and that’s core. That it runs on mobile doesn’t change that. It’s a full-fledged Diablo experience. Everything fans had in previous titles regarding the depth of the game is brought back.

Cheng: Immortal is a large and ambitious MMO. When you look at other MMOs, you find a wide range of different player types that take different things from their games. One likes PvP, another goes raiding, a third stands around in town making new friends. And all of that has its justification.

We have many different activities for players. And hopefully, the different types here will find something to do. If you want to slay monsters, you can go into an Elder Rift. That takes about 5 minutes. If you’re into group play, you can raid with your warband and face tricky bosses.

I assume players will find something they enjoy and want to do.

MeinMMO: Thank you for the answers and your time!

In our beta test, our editor Benedict concluded: Every MMORPG fan should definitely check out Diablo Immortal

Elden Ring: Summoning and Upgrading Spirits – Here’s How It Works

Tarek Zehrer 6. April 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

A new feature of Elden Ring is the summoning of spirits. These can assist you at certain difficult points in the game. How to summon and improve them is revealed by MeinMMO in our guide.

What are these spirits? You can find so-called spirit ashes in Elden Ring. With the corresponding item, you can use this ash to summon spirits.

These are NPCs that take the form of various enemies from the game world but fight on your side.
You can use them against Margit, the 1st boss, which we also recommend in our guide.
The probably most powerful spirit is the Mimic Tear, which takes your form and makes boss fights significantly easier.

The key to everything is the Spirit Calling Bell. You receive it early in the game from an NPC who can be easily overlooked.

Update, April 6: The article has been updated.

Finding the Spirit Calling Bell and Summoning Spirits – Here’s How

You receive the Spirit Calling Bell from the witch Renna.

Where can Renna be found? You can initially find her in the Church of Elleh, which you discover right after the tutorial. There is also a merchant and a blacksmith’s anvil to perform the first upgrades.

However, Renna only appears there after you have activated the grace site at the ruins before the gate. If you do that, you will also receive Torrent, your spirit horse.
Now you just have to fast travel back to the grace site at the church and find Renna on a wall, to the left below the church tower.
Talk to her and confirm that you are the Accursed.

If you missed her, there is a second way:

If you take too long to get your mount, you will not find her there anymore.

But that’s no problem. As soon as you find yourself at the table of grace, you can buy the bell from an NPC for 100 runes.

Here you see the merchant from whom you get the bell.

Here’s how to summon spirits: Throughout the game, you can find many of these spirit ashes and gain many useful helpers in your collection.

Then you need to have enough FP, or mana, to perform the summoning. To increase your FP, you can level up the “Spirit” attribute or use certain talismans.

You cannot summon the spirits everywhere.
This is only possible in certain areas, where you encounter particularly many or tough enemies.
Furthermore, summoning is possible during most boss fights.

Where can you summon spirits? You can recognize it by a gravestone symbol that is shown at the bottom left of the screen, above your quick items, when you enter such an area.

In combat, however, you must be careful, as the summoning has an animation and can be interrupted by enemy attacks.

Also, be careful not to accidentally step out of the area during a fight. Otherwise, the spirit will disappear and you’ll be left alone.

So be sure to stay close to the original summoning point.

Where can I find ash? Some can be found in the many optional dungeons, and some are dropped by certain particularly tough enemies.

If you are looking for locations, we recommend this video:

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

You will automatically encounter them during the game if you keep your eyes open. There are spirits that support you with buffs, can fight from a distance, and can even fly or be summoned in large groups.

But remember: You can only activate one summoning at a time. Also, be aware that you can only use the strongest spirits if you have enough FP. So you will need to increase your spirit attribute.

Improve Spirits and Complete Roderika’s Quest

To do this, you need to find Roderika and complete her quest. You will first meet her at the grace site “Stormveil Shack”. Talk to her there.

She will ask you to take a message to the Chrysalids in Stormveil Castle. However, you first need to get there and get past Margit, the 1st boss.

While exploring the castle, keep an eye out for a large dining hall. There you will find the item Chrysalids’ Memento, which you must bring back to Roderika.

Now you will meet Roderika at the table of grace and need to talk to her. You will have to repeat this a few times until she asks if she should ask the blacksmith for work.

Confirm, and she will later offer the option to improve spirits with spirit tallow at the blacksmith.

The spirits are especially useful for players who have trouble with the difficulty level of Elden Ring, but cannot call on other players for help. Especially for solo players, they can make your life easier.

However, you can also call on other players for help and benefit doubly. All information about the multiplayer of Elden Ring can be found in our overview.

FIFA 22: Showdown Mario Götze – How easily you can get the strong card

Max Handwerk 5. April 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

You can now get Showdown Mario Götze in FIFA 22. We will show you here which requirements you need to meet for the card.

Where is the card available? The new Mario Götze card was released as part of the “Showdown Series”. This means: You can obtain the card through a Squad Building Challenge and do not have to draw it from packs or buy it on the transfer market.

The special feature of Showdown Mario Götze: As part of the Showdown Series, the Mario Götze card is tied to a real game: Namely the Conference League quarter-final between PSV Eindhoven and Leicester on Thursday evening, April 7, 2022.

If Götze’s club, PSV Eindhoven, wins this match, the card will receive an upgrade of +2 points. If the match ends in a draw, the card will get +1 point – just like its counterpart, Harvey Barnes from Leicester. There will be no upgrade if they lose.

But even without an upgrade, Götze already has strong stats: He excels in almost all offensive attributes, but does not contribute much defensively. The card also has 4 stars for weak foot and skill moves.

The solution for Showdown Mario Götze is very simple

Getting Götze is that easy: Many squad-building challenges require a lot of cards from you, some of which are very expensive. But the Götze SBC comes with really very simple requirements.

At least 1 player from Germany
At least 1 TOTW player
84 team rating
60 team chemistry

These stats can be quickly achieved in an SBC, as 60 team chemistry does not require too many links. The 84 team rating is also relatively easy for many players to achieve by using existing cards from their club that are not currently in use.

The majority of the SBC costs will likely come from the required TOTW card if you don’t have a suitable one at the moment. We recommend buying a TOTW card in the range of 84 or 85 if you want to do it cheaply. Many cards in this range cost between 22,000 and 25,000.

Some examples are as of the current status (April 5, 7:40 PM, via futbin):

Marko Livaja (84, 22K)
Arnaut Danjuma (54, 24K)
Gareth Bale (84, 25K)
Steven Bergwijn (85, 24K)

Autoplay

Who is the card worth it for? Götze can of course fit well into Eredivisie teams, although they are unusual. However, due to his nationality, he is also a great option for creating hybrid teams in Bundesliga squads.

Of course, there is a risk that Götze will not get an upgrade if Eindhoven loses against Leicester. But if his team wins, you can secure a cheap 90-rated card here.

Götze doesn’t fit in your team? Then you might find a cheaper alternative here: We show you 5 gold cards in FIFA 22 that still hold up.

MeinMMO is tracking Hotfix 4.0.0.6 and will continuously update this article with fresh information.

Update 7:20 PM: If you have downloaded the update file, you will enter a queue and will be gradually allowed into the game. On PS5, you need to download 253.8 MB. We have added the patch notes.

Maintenance on April 5th – All Times and Server Downtime

These times are important today:

Maintenance will start at 6:00 PM German time on all platforms.

Changes with Hotfix 4.0.0.6 in Season 16

What the hotfix brings today: Bungie has already communicated a list of known issues to be fixed. Unfortunately, nothing is mentioned again about the poor armor values of NPCs .

However, Bungie did not reveal any details on what will be fixed today, April 5th. Only issues reported by the community are known.

These issues have also been reported by players:

The charging banners in the “Source” activity on Grandmaster and in the “Oath of the Student” raid don’t always work properly. Sometimes it takes a while for players to charge.
In the activity “Vox Obscura” on Grandmaster, there are bugs where players can fall through the map with the tank and have to start over.
The Raid Exotic “Eyes of Tomorrow” can, in some cases, track the weapon holder as a target and fire two homing rockets at them, causing them to die.

If you encounter any issues in the game, it is recommended to report them directly through the official Bungie Help Forum to bring attention to them.

Patch Notes for Hotfix 4.0.0.6 in Destiny 2

What’s in the patch notes? The patch notes for today’s update will be published later. As usual, the information usually appears together or just before the update itself. As soon as we have them, we will add the link here.

Fans claim: You need 40 years to get the most powerful items in Diablo Immortal

Benedict Grothaus 5. April 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

After several tests, Diablo Immortal is currently in the final stage of development. The MMO is expected to be released in the first half of 2022. But even now fans speculate about the mechanics of the game, leading to wild conjectures.

What items are we talking about? Legendary gems are among the best items in Diablo Immortal. They enhance your attributes and grant you special properties or abilities, similar to Diablo 3.

Each of these gems comes with different ranks and quality levels. The highest level is 5 stars, and the highest rank is 20. You can equip a total of 6 of them, one in each main slot of your gear.

Blizzard has already promised that casuals will have a fair chance in Diablo Immortal. Nevertheless, some players now suspect that it will take you 40 years or longer to fully upgrade the gems (via reddit).

Why does it take so long? Upgrading the gems required various items and materials in the last beta of Immortal. You acquire these from other legendary gems.

However, the opportunities to obtain these gems were limited in the last test. The reddit user Desperate-Army3618 breaks down how long it should all take:

a guaranteed gem per week as well as a 25% daily chance for another
the user estimates an average of 12 gems per month
50 gems are required to increase a 5-star gem by one rank
that corresponds to 4.16 months
at 20 ranks, it takes a gem alone 83.33 months – or nearly 7 years
for 6 equipable gems, that amounts to 500 months – or nearly 42 years

Another user notes that you would first have to obtain these gems. The chance for a 5-star gem is said to be 5%. With this information, the duration could even be 165 years.

No one knows yet how it will really be

Does it really take that long? Many players are now worried that they have no chance without paying. However, compared to other mobile games, they consider it likely that this is indeed intended.

The user teknofly explains, however, that some information was not taken into account. For example, there are limited events and sources like vendors from whom you can obtain the gems. Furthermore, it is still not clear what content will be changed.

In our recent interview with the heads of Diablo Immortal, they told us that lots of feedback from the beta is still to be implemented. Therefore, there will be many changes, probably including this – as the topic has been preoccupying the community for quite some time.

However, we have not received any new information regarding monetization. You can find the complete interview here:

Do I even need the items? According to user Chrisy_B, the gems at maximum rank are not necessary at all to participate in the endgame activities. Free2Play players are able to keep up without paying for upgrades.

All content, whether dungeons, raids or PvP, is also feasible through “regular grind”. Paragon levels and strong legendaries should not be underestimated.

How Diablo Immortal handles the whole situation in the end will only be decided at release or shortly before. There is still no date for this, but a very good estimate:

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 04/05. – A Week of Rituals

Britta ♤ BeAngel 5. April 2022 Reading time 5 minutes

While much of the Destiny 2 campaign of the Witch Queen has already been completed by players and therefore not much is left to do for them, this week the PvE hardcore players are gathering for their endgame. However, MeinMMO will show you what other rituals are planned.

This week: This week is all about rituals. First, the Freelance mode returns for PvP. So if you want to go solo in the Trials, as a lone wolf, this is your chance.

Perfect for playing the Trials solo: Normally, you can only play the Trials of Osiris if you have a full team of three players. However, after the reset at 7 PM, the Solo playlist will be displayed as an additional search node on the Crucible’s Navigator page.

There’s also fresh air for the dusty PvEvP mode in Gambit. The Gambit Labs continue and bring “Invasion Reversal” after the Freelance mode. This will change the known routine and determine who receives invasions during the particle phase of the activity.

This is what will change in Gambit: Labs: If a team reaches 25 and 75 particles in the bank, everything will be turned upside down and the opposing team will get an invasion. Bungie sweetens the test lab with double Gambit reputation gain.

And last but not least, the PvE endgame with Grandmaster starts after today’s weekly reset. While most players don’t have much left to do, this mode now attracts the PvE hardcore gamers into the Destiny universe. Here even a high power level doesn’t help, because the activity takes place in the so-called competitive mode.

What does competitive mode mean? The power level requirement is normally 1,600 but every player will be capped at a power level of 1,575. Anyone who completes all six strikes of this Season 16 and gilds their title is a true conqueror of PvE. It starts with the Fist of the Fallen and you will be rewarded with double loot for this.

Destiny 2 starts the hardest PvE endgame – Here’s how to defeat the Grandmaster in Grandmaster

The most important information about activities from April 5th to April 12th.

The Grandmaster: The Trial by Fire is the strike this week:

The Fist of the Fallen, on the Moon
- Hashladun, the daughter of Crota, has designed the red Hive Bastion to utilize the energies of the Pyramid that lie buried in the abyss below. You are to drive her out of her refuge in the strike and thin the ranks of Oryx’s offspring.

Playlist strikes have these modifiers:
- Arc Burn
- Grenadier
- Iron
- The burning modifier will accompany you all week, while the others change daily.

These weapons can be obtained from Grandmasters: Every week, players can acquire certain weapons from the Grandmaster strikes. Currently, there are eight weapons in rotation in the loot pool. Two of these are available each week.

The Palindrome – 140 Hand Cannon
Plug-One.1 – Arc Fusion Rifle

Grandmaster Grandmasters: After the reset, the hardcore mode will start in the Grandmasters. You can then earn the current Grandmaster weapon as an improved Master version (Adept). However, to start this trial, you will need a power level of 1,575 and you will fight in competitive mode. This means you are a full 25 power levels below the Grandmaster power level of 1,600.

This is happening in the raid “Glass Chamber“:

In the Glass Chamber, the challenge “Out of the Way” takes place this time. One of your teammates will be tasked with preventing the Templar from teleporting. The relic holder will stand on a glowing circle, the spot from where he teleports away.
As a reward, the Time-lost weapon “Destiny’s Bane” (Hand Cannon) awaits in challenge mode. The weapon will come guaranteed with 2 perks per slot. Keep in mind that hard and normal modes share the loot.
The armor focusing in the raid “Glass Chamber” this week: Intelligence

This is happening in the raid “The Pledge of the Learner”:

This week, the new raid in the Throne World enters the next round of challenges. Not all mechanics are known yet, however, the third challenge is called “Defense Failed”.

Savathun’s Throne World – Weekly Campaign Mission

“The Arrival” – Repeatable Witch Queen campaign mission
- This week you can once again play the first campaign mission on Grandmaster difficulty. You infiltrate the Cabal base on Mars and then investigate Savathun’s ship for clues about the Light.

Crucible – These are the PvP playlists:

Private Match
Rumble
Control
Elimination
Glory Survival
Glory Survival: Freelance
Cauldron
Trials of Osiris (April 8th – April 12th / 7 PM)

Active bonus this week: This week there are multiple bonuses. On one hand, you earn bonus Vanguard ranks, even in the Grandmaster. On the other hand, when the Gambit Labs are active, the bonus for Gambit ranks is doubled.

Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

Petra Venj has this week the 2nd Ascendant Challenge for you. You can find Petra and her quest offer at the location “The Shore” in the Dreaming City. Here, Savathun is also meddling, as the curse begins to reclaim the holy city of the Awoken at stage 1.

Sources for top loot in Season 16 of Destiny 2

This is the new max level: In the new season of the Resurrected, the maximum power level of your gear is 1,560. This raises the power level at the start of the DLC by +230 power levels compared to the previous Season 15. However, all players will also be elevated to a base power level of 1,350 at the start, and there are plenty of sources to level up quickly.

Those who want to reach a quick power level of 1,520 only have to finish the Legendary Campaign. One of the new Witch Queen exotics will also be gifted to you upon completion.

This top loot (Pinnacle Gear) raises your power level above 1,550:

Raid “The Pledge of the Learner” (+2)
Dungeon “Sog der Habsucht” (+2)
Reach in the Grandmaster: Trial by Fire with at least 100,000 points (+2)
Weekly Witch Queen Campaign Mission with at least 100,000 points (+2)
Defeat champions in the “PsiOp Battlegrounds Playlist” (+2)
“Source” activity at Grandmaster 1,580 (+2)
Complete the activity “Preservation” in the Pyramid of Darkness (+2)
“Trials of Eternity”: Reach at least 250,000 points or more (+2)
Defeat powerful Cabal in the exotic mission “Vox Obscura” (+2)
Complete 3 Gambit matches (+1)
Complete 3 Crucible matches (+1)
Complete 3 Vanguard Strike operations with matching focus (+1)
Hawthorne’s Clan Task (+1)
Trials of Osiris (+2)

Glitter Dust Highlights in the Eververse

Hardly earned, the in-game currency (Glitter Dust) has to go right away. We’ll tell you what grand things you can buy this week in the Eververse.

This week, here’s what else you can get for Glitter Dust from Tess:

Exotic Sparrow “Atlas Runner”
Exotic Ship “The Coffin Bearer”
Exotic Ship “Solar Sail”
Exotic Ghost Shell “Adonis”
Exotic Hunter Ornament “Sweet Embrace” for the armor “Omnioculus”.
Exotic Titan Ornament “Terminus Envoy” for the armor “Starfall Plate”.

Legendary Ghost Projection “Hourglass Projection”
Shader “Mediator”

How will you use the ritual week? Are you tempted by the Freelance in the Trials or would you rather stop by Gambit before tackling the Grandmaster Grandmaster? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

Rainbow Six is coming to iOS and Android – developer does not want you to switch

Max Handwerk 5. April 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

A spin-off of Rainbow Six Siege has been announced for iOS and Android with Rainbow Six Mobile. Here you will find all information about testing options and content.

What kind of game is this? Basically, Rainbow Six Mobile is oriented toward the great role model “Rainbow Six Siege.” The intense tactical shooter was released in 2015, but it remains one of the best online shooters of all time. Even now, it is still widely played and receives new content.

The new Rainbow Six Mobile will come with several elements that fans of the series should recognize:

Familiar, mobile-adapted maps from Siege will be included
There are ten operators – 5 attackers, 5 defenders
Tactical gameplay with various gadgets, destructible environments, and special abilities

However, the developers explain that there will also be differences: “We have invested a lot of effort ‘under the hood’ to adapt the Siege experience for mobile devices. This includes a completely new gameplay control system designed especially for mobile devices, as well as extensive optimization of the user interface and visual presentation in the game” (via Ubisoft).

There is no official release date yet, but initial tests have been announced.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

How you can test: In the announcement, the developers explain that the first of several live tests is set to start in the “coming weeks.” A specific date is not yet known.

However, you can already register on the official Ubisoft website to receive information and possibly be invited to the closed alpha.

This is possible with both Android and iOS devices.

Developers reassure Siege fans – Alternative instead of switching

This is what the developers say: The mobile team explains in the announcement that it consists of big Siege fans and that they want to implement the gaming experience as well as possible on mobile.

And even though they share the office in Montreal with the Siege colleagues, it is not the same team. The mobile team is independent and built from the ground up: “Siege fans have nothing to fear: The Siege developer team remains fully staffed and is working with full dedication on its own great game,” say the developers.

We don’t want you to stop playing on PC or console and switch to the mobile version. We know that nothing beats the adrenaline rush of a close match in Siege on the big screen or the precision of a mouse and keyboard. Since we can’t take our monitors everywhere, Rainbow Six Mobile will give you the chance to play your beloved game in short, easily accessible bursts, while also allowing millions of new players to enjoy the R6 experience.
The development team of Rainbow Six Mobile

Therefore, fans of the series should not worry about the “main game”: Currently, no resources are being drawn from it to invest in mobile development.

In principle, several games have already made the leap to mobile. Examples include the LoL spin-off “Wild Rift,” or Fortnite. And in terms of MMORPGs, there are options: The best mobile MMORPGs 2022 for iOS and Android can be found here.

Destiny 2 wants to overhaul the PvP – What does that mean for the Iron Banner?

Christos Tsogos 5. April 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

Bungie announced changes for the PvP mode in Destiny 2 in advance. However, not much was revealed, but a hint in the TWaB and a potential leak now suggest adjustments in the Iron Banner. We show you everything we know about it.

What did Bungie announce? In the new TWaB, Bungie announced that the Glory Rank reputation system will be revamped. Players will no longer have to go through the grueling grind, as for the rare seal “Unbroken”. Instead, the title will be removed in Season 19.

Players will then receive a seal that can be earned with less effort. More information will follow at a later time.

A small part in the TWaB, written in German as “heulen” in italics, indicates that the Iron Banner could also be affected by changes. Additionally, an alleged leak is circulating that hints at future changes in the Iron Banner.

Guardians who don’t want to be spoiled, even though the leak contains some inconsistencies alongside potential information, should avoid clicking on the following source link.

Update April 4: We updated the information on Bungie’s statement with new details.

Leak also hints at changes in the Iron Banner

What is this leak about? This leak was posted publicly on the page “pastebin.com“. It revealed not only changes for the Iron Banner but also bullet-point information about all Witch Queen seasons leading up to the “Lightfall” expansion.

What does the leak say about the Iron Banner? Season 17 is said to be a Siva season, according to the Pastebin leak.

Lord Saladin (now Bracus Forge) will go back to the “Contaminated Lands” to fight against a threat from Splicers. Data from 2020 also revealed content from contaminated Siva constructs in Destiny 2.

In the meantime, he appoints Crow to represent him in leading the Iron Banner event and overseeing the Iron Temple. Furthermore, there are indications of a whole Iron Banner season.

Parallels to the end of the current Season 16: This fits well with the current information from Season 16, where Lord Saladin leaves his sword and his medallion for Crow in the H.E.L.M.

In the battle against the Splicers, Saladin will find an ancient Warmind node with the help of Ana Bray. This will help assemble Rasputin back in his Exo shell so that he is operational again.

Along with the change of the new Iron Banner vendor, the reputation in the Iron PvP mode will also be increased more quickly. For players who enjoy collecting seals, a new seal for the Iron Banner will be introduced. This will be called “Iron Lord” and will require the same effort as the titles “Conqueror” or “Flawless”.

What does Bungie say about it? Officially, Bungie has not commented on this massive leak. However, we at MeinMMO have contacted Bungie, and on April 4th, they responded to us. They do not wish to comment on the leak.

What do you think of the leak and the potential upcoming changes? Do you like such adjustments, or would you prefer new maps and sandbox adjustments that shake up the current meta? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Elden Ring: Converted Edge Tower – How to solve the puzzle and enter it

Tarek Zehrer 5. April 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In the game world of Elden Ring, there are mysterious things to discover at almost every corner. This includes the wizard towers, which only open when certain puzzles are solved. MeinMMO shows you how to discover the Converted Edge Tower.

Where is the Converted Edge Tower located?

You can find it in the northeast of the Lakes of Liurnia. The path there is not easy to recognize, even with careful study of the map.
The fastest way is to start from the Site of Grace at the Artist’s House and travel north. Stay along the western cliff and follow it until the bridge gate that leads to the Academy of Raya Lucaria. Continue traveling until you are just before the Dectus lift and turn right towards the east.

Here you can view the Converted Edge Tower on the map:

But upon arriving at the tower, the path is blocked. The door is obstructed by a magical seal.

If you interact with this door, you will receive the message: “You need to solve the puzzle to enter.” There are no further explanations at first glance. But how do you get inside?

Elden Ring – Solve the puzzle in the Converted Edge Tower

This is what you need to do: You can only open the door with the right gesture and the right mask. You need one of the 3 Glintstone Crowns from House Karolos, House Olivinus, or House Twinwise.

The easiest mask to find is the one from House Karolos. It is also found in the Academy of Raya Lucaria. Start the search from the Site of Grace in the Classroom.

Enter the courtyard, cross it while keeping left. You will pass by a door, but ignore it. Now turn left and follow the path until you find the corpse with the item.

Now you need to obtain the gesture.

The gesture is the “Scholarship” emote that you receive from the NPC Thops in the Church of Irith. To do this, you must give him the Glintstone Key from the Academy of Raya Lucaria.
However, you can miss him if you progress too far in the game. Therefore, you should bring the key to him as soon as possible after you find it.
The required key can be found on the rooftops of the Academy. This is the large Legacy Dungeon, at the center of Liurnia.

Once you have handed over the key, you will receive the Scholarship gesture. Here you can watch a video on how to find the key:

Once you have the gesture and one of the masks, you can go to the sealed door. Put on the mask and perform the gesture. Now the door should open.

What is the reward? You will receive the two spells Haimas Cannon and Haimas Hammer. Haimas Cannon is especially powerful and also hits a large area.

User shows how a simple socket saved valuable hardware worth 13,000 euros

Benedikt Schlotmann 5. April 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

A user explains that they were very lucky: Instead of their expensive hardware, only a few sockets had to suffer during a severe storm.

Most users have expensive hardware and electronics at home. This includes not only computers, notebooks, or gaming consoles but also other household appliances. And these devices are particularly sensitive to strong power fluctuations and can break down as well.

Especially in a time when graphics cards are very expensive and PS5 consoles are hardly available, gamers want their hardware to be protected.

A user explained on Reddit that a storm had raged at their place. They were very lucky: Instead of their expensive hardware, only a few sockets had to suffer.

A cable for a few euros saves several thousand euros of hardware

What exactly happened? A user posted a picture and a sentence on Reddit: “Had a power surge last night, these [parts] saved me electronics worth 15,000 US dollars.”

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Reddit content

The picture shows two surge protector sockets. And these sockets probably saved their hardware. 15,000 US dollars are equivalent to 13,500 euros.

In a further post, they explained that there had been a severe storm. The sockets were completely burned out. The power indicator light was on, but the grounded and protected lights could no longer be turned on. The sockets also no longer supplied power to the connected devices.

Apart from the sockets, only “a stove, the air conditioning in the bedroom, and a digital clock” were said to be damaged. The rest would have been protected by the sockets.

More on the topic

5 Reasons Why You Should Turn Off Your Computer at Night

von Benedikt Schlotmann

Community debates how useful a surge protector really is

What are the reactions? There is a heated discussion about the post in the comments. Some users explain that such a surge protector has already saved their own electronics and advocate for such a power strip.

Others think that the investment of 10 euros doesn’t hurt anyone and in the best case, no lightning would strike their own apartment. In the worst case, one could protect several thousand euros with 100 euros. Therefore, one should not save in the wrong place.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

However, there are also users who consider the entire discussion nonsense. Because why should one invest money in such sockets if they have never had such problems?

Honest question: Where do you all live that you have to worry about surges?
In almost 30 years of my life, not a single electronic device has ever been damaged by a surge. I don’t even know if I’ve ever experienced a power surge. I have connected my PC to a (old, probably outdated) surge protector, but only to utilize the additional sockets. I have never really regarded it as protection.
(via reddit.com)

Basically, it’s worth being careful with your hardware anyway, to clean your PC from dust or maintain it generally.

What do you think? Do you consider such a socket a worthwhile investment or do you think it’s an unnecessary feature that you don’t need? Tell us in the comments!

Many users are also wondering if it can be a problem to completely cut off the computer’s power, for example, by turning off the power strip at the end of the day. MyMMO answers this question in a detailed article:

Black Desert is becoming more of a theme park MMORPG with the new expansion and that is great

Alexander Leitsch 5. April 2022 Reading time 9 minutes

The MMORPG Black Desert Online releases the new expansion “Eternal Winter” on April 6th. This brings new areas and a new class. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch tested the expansion as part of Find Your Next Game. He is primarily impressed by the new dialogues, the new entry, and the solo dungeon. With this, Black Desert is moving more towards theme park and will be better for newcomers.

What’s in the new expansion? In “Eternal Winter”, players are transported to a new, mountainous region. There, four new monster zones await you, where you can grind properly. However, there are also some new mechanics that have not been present in Black Desert so far:

Erethea’s Limbo is a puzzle dungeon that can only be entered with a special key. This dungeon will be completed by each player alone and is supposed to be randomly generated to provide a lot of variety.
In Winter Tree Fossil, you’ll face hordes of enemies, but in two different difficulty levels, so newcomers can farm there quickly.
Murrowak’s Labyrinth is a true solo dungeon, which each player can enter and farm in on their own. However, there is only a limited number of instances per server, so not all players can gather there.

The grind is complemented by a new story, presented in very entertaining and fully voiced cutscenes. You can experience these optionally with your high-level character or right from level 1.

This means Black Desert now offers two entry options: the original story in the Ancient Stone Chamber or a direct entry into the new areas.

If that’s not enough, you can try the latest class Drakania. It also appears alongside the expansion and relies on a sword and lots of lightning magic.

Black Desert Online: New Class Drakania Gameplay Trailer

Autoplay

When is the expansion released? It will be released on April 6th. Maintenance is expected to last from 10:00 to 14:00. After that, the expansion should be playable.

MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has already tried the new expansion on the test server and received an introduction to the new content from Community Manager Endlaive. For this test, he leveled the Drakania to level 1 through the Eternal Winter story and was able to also try the new class at level 62.

He summarizes his experiences here for you.

Who is speaking here? Alex is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO. He has spent several thousand hours in Guild Wars 1, Guild Wars 2, and ESO. Additionally, he tries out every new MMORPG, whether it’s Asian games like Elyon and Lost Ark or indie titles like Crowfall and Broken Ranks.

He has also spent dozens of hours in Black Desert and leveled some classes beyond level 60. However, interest tends to wane slightly after each season. Will the new expansion change that?

Black Desert finally becomes more beginner-friendly and better for theme park fans

At first glance, the expansion Eternal Winter sounds like a continuation for hardcore players. New areas to grind, a new gear level that further increases the strength of existing gear, as well as a new class.

But behind this first impression lies more than I initially thought.

Because right at the start with my Drakania at level 1, the new dialogues stood out positively. Like in a classic theme park MMORPG, I experience a story told by NPC characters. The dialogues automatically jump back and forth between the characters and are even voiced in English.

The characters are very entertainingly written. The “Talkative Old Man” has a unique and stubborn view of the events in the Mountain of Eternal Winter. After all, we are the “powerful Dragon Slayers” – what should we be afraid of?

On the other side stands a doubtful woman and the clumsy Lando, who struggles to play the role of a classic NPC quest giver. Four times he takes a run for his monologue, because he either stumbles out of nervousness or is simply not satisfied with his speech.

Black Desert Lando Dialog — Lando is our cuddly companion in the story, but he is not a good quest giver.

The dialogues also contain many references to already happened events in Black Desert itself, as well as to memes in the real world. I just say: “One does not simply walk into the Mountain of Winter”.

The dialogues, cutscenes, and story structure surprise me. Because Black Desert is actually a classic sandbox MMORPG and didn’t care much about quests upon release. They were more of a guide on where to grind next.

But Black Desert has been evolving more and more towards beginner-friendliness and theme park over the past few years. With the expansion, they have really capped it off.

By the way, if you start with a new character in Eternal Winter, you can later catch up on the other story quests from Calpheon, Heidel, and so on.

Many solo contents for players who don’t want to fight for grind spots

Also away from the story, the developers have done a lot to ensure that solo players and newcomers feel comfortable. In two of the new areas, there is an “Easy Mode” that you can enter with 250 AP (Attack Points in Gearscore). You should be able to reach that when playing one of the seasons and collecting all the rewards there. More on that later.

With Erethea’s Limbo, there is also a kind of puzzle dungeon, which, however, was not playable yet on the test server. Community Manager Endlaive revealed to us that the contents of the dungeon are randomly generated and materials for better gear wait as rewards. Additionally, the developers mentioned that this dungeon can be constantly expanded with new contents.

To access it, you need a “Forgotten Witches Token”. You can randomly drop this when killing monsters in the areas. A bit of grind is present here as well.

The second solo dungeon revolves around farming monsters. However, in Murrowak’s Labyrinth, only 6 players can be active on the server at the same time. If anyone wants to farm in that area in addition, they have to either wait or switch servers. This is easy to do in Black Desert, as every character can be played on any server.

The special thing about the dungeon is that if all 6 players are active and have defeated many waves of monsters, there is a chance that a spider queen will appear. This will then be fought by exactly those 6 players together and promises better loot.

Black Desert has done a lot with the expansion Eternal Winter to attract new players and fans of MMORPGs that are not so sandbox-like. For this, there is now a story with entertaining dialogues, more solo and instanced content, as well as the Progression Pass for players who want to navigate along a guide.

At its core, Black Desert is still a sandbox game in which you have to grind a lot and can engage in many side activities such as sailing, crafting, trading, and even building entire economic chains through NPCs.

The critical points continue to be the PvP in the open world and the chance of equipment destruction during the upgrade process. Only limited adjustments have been made in these areas, such as more materials in the new pass or the season servers, where at least temporarily there is a PvP ban.

Nevertheless, due to its breathtaking graphics and action combat system, Black Desert remains one of the best offerings in the MMORPG genre.

The new expansion has certainly made me excited about the story and leveling a completely new character. However, I fear that I will exit again after some time, namely when the grind for equipment becomes real work.

By the way, if you want to craft or just relax, you will find a small settlement in the new area with Eilton, where important NPCs like the bank are located.

The Progression Pass as a guide and important equipment source

Another adjustment is related to the Progression Pass. This has existed since the introduction of the seasons but has now been revised again. Essentially, it is a compendium of quests, tutorials, and achievements that you can achieve with a new character. These tasks include:

The completion of the main quest from various regions
The collecting and leveling of professions
The unlocking of mounts
The completion of game tips, such as how to improve gear, use buff food, or navigate menus

For each completed section, there is an individual reward, as well as a total reward for progress throughout the entire pass. So if you don’t know what to do in Black Desert, you can use this pass as a guide.

Rewards include items that prevent equipment from being destroyed during upgrades, increase the chance of upgrades, as well as currencies and buff food.

Additionally, there has been a compendium of all quests for some time now, in which you can start the various main stories to follow.

New players and returnees also regularly receive the seasons. There you level a new character on a special server particularly quickly, receive further rewards, and PvP in the open world is disabled on this server.

After a season ends, the character will be transferred to a regular server. These seasons have made Black Desert much more beginner-friendly:

New equipment and new enemies for veterans

Those who have been playing Black Desert for a while will also have plenty to do in the new expansion. The big new reward is Labreska’s Helmet. This helmet can only be crafted if you already have a Griffon’s or Giant’s Helmet at the PEN level. This is currently the best equipment in the game.

However, you will have to supplement it with new materials from the expansion area to create a completely new helmet that will become the “Best in Slot” item.

If you want to grind less, you can acquire the new artifacts. These are two completely new equipment slots. The artifacts themselves don’t provide bonuses, but you can socket two new Infused Lightstones into each.

There are over 50 different Lightstones, which provide you with various bonuses. This is aimed at enhancing the diversity of builds, emphasized Endlaive.

The Drakania is the competitor of the Gardia and brings a storm of effects

The Drakania is the 24th class in the MMORPG and impresses mainly with its powerful effects. In essence, every class in Black Desert has a certain degree of a storm of effects, but the newest class really goes wild.

Every attack – even the classic hit with the left mouse button and the accompanying light sword swing – has lightning effects. Some combos are so massive that the Drakania jumps into the air and hurls a storm of lightning at the enemies.

This looks impressive, but also somewhat slow and cumbersome. Already in terms of attack speed, the Drakania reminded me a lot of the Gardia, which received a lot of criticism for being too slow at launch.

Endlaive explained to me during the run that the two classes even have another connection. Because the two classes are direct enemies and compete with each other:

The Gardia is the emissary of Labraska, the golden dragon who once protected the Mountains of Eternal Winter.
The Drakania, on the other hand, represents one of the other dragons, which is why the two classes are at odds.

However, anyone who wants to know everything about the Drakania and learn all abilities will have to wait a bit. At launch, she will only be released with her Succession Skills. The Awakening line will take a bit longer because the developers want to take their time with it. More about the class lore will be revealed through the Awakening Quest.

WoW: Mega nerfs for the mega dungeon – Tazavesh will be much easier

Cortyn 5. April 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

Tazavesh in World of Warcraft is getting heavily nerfed. The dungeon was way too difficult – the adjustments are quite drastic.

The current 3rd season of Shadowlands has been running for a few weeks now, but the developers are still not completely satisfied with the balance in the dungeons of World of Warcraft. Especially in the “Mythic+” area, the two new additions, the Tazavesh dungeons, are still causing some problems.

Specifically, the first part of the dungeon, the “Streets of Wonder”, is too difficult, and many groups fail the timer even on lower levels. Blizzard is now making adjustments – and even removing some mob groups.

What will be changed? The most important change is that the composition of several mob groups in Tazavesh has been altered. There are now fewer trash groups overall, and they have fewer enemies that hit particularly hard. Along with this, the necessary percentage required to complete the dungeon has been adjusted, making the goal easier to achieve.

It’s also particularly noteworthy that during the “trading phase”, where you need to figure out the password for the oasis, the player character can now use abilities. Previously, all other players had to protect him, and only select defensive or movement abilities were usable.

What changes in detail? You can find the complete changes to the creatures in the Streets of Wonder here:

Armored Overseer has 20% less health.
Overloaded Elemental has 20% less health.
The express zone of the Elemental now remains active for 15 seconds (previously 10 seconds).
Carrying goods in the market area of the dungeon no longer prevents the use of abilities.
The Hyperlight Salvo of Experienced Spark Mage deals 20% less damage.
The maximum number of projectiles per Hyperlight Salvo of Experienced Spark Mage has been reduced.
The Hyperlight Bolt of Cartel Member now deals 20% less damage.
The Swift Blade of Cartel Assassin now deals 40% less damage.

What impact do the changes have? Simply put: The dungeon will be significantly easier from Wednesday (04/06/2022). Fewer enemies need to be defeated, and the time limit should be noticeably easier to manage. Additionally, a number of “pain points” have been alleviated. It should now be less common for a Swift Blade to take out cloth-wearers with a single hit or for a Hyperlight Salvo to mean certain doom for a teammate if it gets through.

What do you think of the changes? A good thing, or was the dungeon already perfect as it was?

New horror co-op game launches on Steam, immediately trending on Twitch

Dariusz Müller 5. April 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

The new horror co-op game from developer Vaulted Sky Games is showing strong viewer numbers on Twitch. Midnight Ghost Hunt even briefly outpaced the major genre competitor Dead by Daylight. MeinMMO gives you an insight into the launch of this co-op horror title.

What is Midnight Ghost Hunt? Midnight Ghost Hunt is a cooperative horror game developed by Vaulted Sky Games, available on Steam since March 31, 2022.

In the co-op game, you take on the roles of ghosts or hunters. As a ghost, you possess objects. As a hunter, you must successfully hunt the ghosts before midnight. Because at midnight, the ghosts turn the tables and the hunters become the hunted.

The gameplay is reminiscent of hide and seek. Unlike comparable genre representatives, it features a 4v4 format. This sets Midnight Ghost Hunt apart from Dead by Daylight or Friday the 13th, for example.

We are embedding a trailer for the upcoming horror hit here:

Midnight Ghost Hunt on Twitch just ahead of PUBG and Dead by Daylight

The numbers on Twitch: Midnight Ghost Hunt had a particularly strong release on Twitch. On launch day, March 31, 2022, the co-op horror game reached a peak of 66,000 concurrent viewers. Within a week, the game amassed a remarkable 1.39 million watched hours across all channels (via SullyGnome.com).

Notably, at the peak viewer count, only 160 different channels were streaming Midnight Ghost Hunt. In comparison, the “Battle Royale” giant PUBG had 19,500 viewers at that time, spread across 1,100 channels (via SullyGnome.com).

PUBGs peak viewer count later on March 31 reached 25,700, which at least rose to 56,400 the following day (via SullyGnome.com). While PUBG’s viewer numbers fluctuated, Midnight Ghost Hunt showed a decline in viewer numbers just a few days after release.

By April 1, the peak value was “only” 50,100 and by April 2, it was 33,200 viewers. (via SullyGnome.com). Thus, the high release value currently seems to be stabilizing. The resulting average viewer count for the last seven days (of the release week) was 9,699, spread across an average of 77 Twitch channels (as of April 5, 2022, 11:50 AM – via TwitchTracker.com).

How does it compare to genre competitors? One of the biggest genre competitors to Midnight Ghost Hunt is probably Dead by Daylight among horror co-op games.

The title from developer Behaviour Interactive had a day-specific peak of 38,100 viewers on March 31, the day of the “Midnight Ghost Hunt” release. However, at the time of the 66,000 “Midnight Ghost Hunt” viewers, the value of active viewers in Dead by Daylight dropped to 29,700 (via SullyGnome.com).

This, however, is not a bad value compared to the average viewer counts of Dead by Daylight. On average, the horror title has 28,400 viewers (as of April 5, 2022, 11:50 AM via TwitchTracker.com).

German Twitch streamer Dhalucard also played Midnight Ghost Hunt. He is known for regularly streaming Dead by Daylight as well. But also internationally famous streamers like xQcOW, forsen, and sodapoppin checked out this horror title.

In recent years, there have been several co-op games that attracted horror genre fans. In addition to numerous zombie or horror survival games, PvP titles especially have built their own fanbase.

Two strong representatives of the genre, besides the new Midnight Ghost Hunt, are especially the long-lasting Dead by Daylight and the now-defunct Friday the 13th.

Do you think Midnight Ghost Hunt can fill the gap left by the shutdown of the game featuring Jason Voorhees?

After 2 years of dying, Friday the 13th is finally dead

Twitch streamer is shocked by empty servers in New World – reveals how he would save the MMORPG

Alexander Leitsch 5. April 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

The streamer Asmongold is primarily known from WoW but has actively played and followed several other MMORPGs on Twitch in recent years. Especially in New World he was quite active at release. In a livestream, he logged back in after a long break and was shocked by the low player count. He also explained what New World does well and what it does poorly.

What was the stream about?

In March, Asmongold tried out the new dungeon from Heart of Madness on the test server with some developers and streamed it. Shortly after, he also showcased New World on his “real” account on Twitch.
However, upon logging in, Asmongold was shocked that hardly any players were present in the cities on his server. Overall, he expressed disappointment with the low player counts in New World.
During the stream, he stated that the MMORPG has an incredible amount of potential and he does not want it to die. After all, he has already spent over 900 hours in it.
Therefore, he explained what the major problems are and how he would fix them instead of Amazon.

New World needs less repetitive gameplay and new hype

What does Asmongold say about the problems of New World? The MMORPG streamer sees the “biggest problem” in the repetitive gameplay. You almost always hit the same mobs, constantly complete the same tasks, and crafting from level 120 to level 175 feels like real work.

They all thought crafting was great when they were level 24. Remember when I made all those videos back then and got so much hate for it? And that was because I was the only person who played the game far enough to recognize what was coming.

Additionally, he criticizes the issues surrounding territory battles. They provide too little incentive to really function as a core element in the endgame. Furthermore, there were too many bugs at launch.

He further criticizes the server problems and the chaos surrounding server transfers.

How would he solve the problems? Above all, the streamer would tackle three things:

The combat needs to be more dynamic and exciting.
There should be more and, above all, more varied endgame content.
The developers should complete their roadmap but refrain from releasing new content for now. Instead, they should hold back everything for a larger expansion to rekindle the interest of former and new players.

“I don’t want this game to die”

Does Asmongold think everything about New World is bad? No. Right at the beginning, the streamer praises the beautiful and aesthetic game world, the music, and the “chill vibe” that the MMORPG emits.

He also likes the basic gathering and crafting system, even though he is annoyed by some details and the excessive grind.

He sees huge potential in the game and emphasizes in the video that he does not want New World to die. After all, he has invested so much time in the MMO for a reason. He really had fun at the beginning, even with the chest runs in large groups.

However, New World is currently not a competitor to Lost Ark and Elden Ring. Both are “fundamentally better games” that New World “still” cannot compare to. Whether that will change in the future remains to be seen.

What do you think of New World and Asmongold’s arguments? Can you relate to his criticism and praise, or do you see it differently? Feel free to share in the comments.

What’s next for New World is shown in the developers’ latest roadmap:

Dying Light 2 announces “one of the biggest updates so far” – Promises the feature that everyone wants

Maik Schneider 5. April 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

About 2 months ago, Dying Light 2 was released, and the developers are still working diligently on the action-adventure. The next big update has now been announced, set to arrive at the end of April and brings a major feature that the community has been eagerly requesting: New Game+.

The zombie game Dying Light 2 is expected to receive ongoing development and content updates for a long time to come. The developers have announced up to 5 years of support, always considering the community’s wishes.

On the Dying Light 2 Discord channel, an announcement has been made that one of the biggest wishes will be fulfilled later this month – New Game+. What we already know about the update and how things will progress with Dying Light 2, we will show you on MeinMMO.

“One of the biggest updates so far” is coming in April

When is the update coming? There is no specific date yet, but the so-called “Patch 3” is expected to arrive at the end of the month for all platforms.

What’s included in the update? The developers are only talking about a few contents but provide a small outlook:

“New Game+” mode
Bug fixes in single-player mode
Bug fixes in co-op mode
- via Dying Light 2 Discord server

Whether further contents are planned can only be speculated at this time. However, since the developers are speaking of a major update, it’s quite possible that the list will get longer.

The complete patch notes will only be available with the release of “Patch 3”.

More on the topic

Dying Light 2: Co-op not working? Here’s how to play the campaign together

von Maik Schneider

Why is “New Game+” so in demand? After the release, a New Game+ was among the biggest wishes of the players. In a “New Game+,” you restart the game but keep your character progress from a save file with a completed story.

The difficulty increases, and there are many players for whom Dying Light 2 thus offers a higher replay value.

Since the release, this feature has been one of the top requests from the community. At the time, the ragdoll physics of the zombies was at the top – this problem was already addressed in another update.

When Dying Light 2 gave away its first DLC, New Game+ continued to be a priority for the players. In addition, bug fixes, higher difficulty levels, and manual saving are among the biggest wishes.

What’s next for Dying Light 2? In April, there should be some events, and in June, the first story DLC. We are including the roadmap here:

With the “New Game+” mode, some fans will now have something to do. What concrete content awaits you in the future is still unknown.

If you are still wandering in the zombie-infested open world, you can find many of the hidden safes here: Dying Light 2: Locations of all safes with codes – Here you can find strong loot

Is New Game+ also important to you, or do you wish for something else from the developers? Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion on the topic.

Players invest over 260,000 euros in NFT game that is now closing – What happens to the money?

Benedict Grothaus 5. April 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The NFT game F1 Delta Time has been discontinued. In the previous years, it sold NFTs that cost several hundred thousand euros. Players who invested are now left without support and will receive compensation in a completely different game.

What kind of game is this? Delta Time was an officially licensed racing game from Formula 1. The game launched in 2019 as one of the first NFT games ever. Players could invest in racing cars to compete in a top-down perspective.

On March 15, 2022, Delta Time announced in a statement that it would cease operations on March 16. According to statements, they could not renew the license and therefore will not continue.

Thus, the game was essentially closed overnight, and players had only one day to respond. If you are not quite sure what NFTs and crypto gaming are all about, you can learn more in our special:

NFT is the new trend in gaming, companies are worth billions of dollars – But why?

von Schuhmann

What are these NFTs? In 2019, Delta Time sold NFTs for 415.9 Ethereum, or over 102,000 euros at the time (via decrypt.io). However, prices continued to rise over the months and years.

In March 2021, a record price of over 262,000 euros was achieved for a single NFT according to racefans.net. However, the profit was donated to a fund for the fire disaster in Australia.

Compared to certain NFT stones that are worth much more, the cars were still relatively inexpensive. However, players hardly have anything left now, as the basis is missing.

Gameplay of F1 Delta Time.

NFTs worth 260,000 euros are simply exchanged

What happens to the NFTs? Essentially, all cars are still owned by the players. After all, the principle behind NFTs is that people actually own their digital items.

How the market around these vehicle NFTs develops remains to be seen. A complete loss of value for investors is possible. However, in the speculative NFT environment, further value increases are also possible – even if the vehicles can no longer be used.

Are players losing everything now? The operators of Delta Time promise players “replacement vehicles” for another game: REVV Racing. If players want to exchange their NFTs, there is an offer for that.

The compensation will be based on the original rarity and strength of the corresponding car from Delta Time.

These can be exchanged for a “Race Pass,” which allows players to trade or bet. In this way, they have the opportunity to receive REVV – an in-game cryptocurrency on the Polygon blockchain.

Players can exchange from April 30 to July 31, 2022. However, the prices at REVV Racing vary widely.

On the platform OpenSea.io, there are some offers for 100 trillion ETH (about 321 trillion euros), but these are unlikely to be serious. The top price for the otherwise most expensive cars is around 1,000 ETH (about 3.2 million euros). However, most offers are at 100 ETH or less.

Since 2021, NFTs and crypto gaming have been a growing trend that is often criticized. MeinMMO author Maik Schneider finds this unjust:

The harsh criticism of NFTs in gaming is unfair – they are more than microtransactions
