Twitch is an indispensable part of the gaming landscape. The biggest content creators are active on the streaming platform, and games benefit from a large potential audience and a lot of reach. Especially the “Twitch Drops,” which allow players to receive extra bonuses in various games by consuming related content on Twitch, often pay off. But even monthly content that can be claimed “just like that” is popular.
This is also in store for Blizzard games in the future. This includes Hearthstone and Overwatch, but also World of Warcraft and StarCraft: Remastered are mentioned.
What is available in Hearthstone? In Hearthstone, you can expect card packs and even direct legendary cards. From now until September 14, Blizzard and Twitch want to distribute the following loot:
4 random legendary cards
3 standard card packs
You can claim the first legendary card starting now. However, those who are particularly clever will wait until April 12, as that is when the new expansion “Journey to the Sunken City” is released. This way, you’ll have a chance that the legendary card belongs to the new expansion.
You need to link your account – then you get loot.
What is available in Overwatch? Blizzard also wants to roll out some goodies for Overwatch through Twitch Prime. Until September 14, Overwatch players can expect some interesting rewards, namely:
4 legendary loot boxes (at least 1 legendary cosmetic)
3 standard loot boxes
You can claim the first legendary loot box directly and enjoy at least one new impressive skin or special emote.
What is available in WoW and StarCraft: Remastered? That is still not entirely clear. So far, it has only been announced that players of World of Warcraft and StarCraft: Remastered should also receive rewards through Twitch Prime. What those contents are is still pure speculation. However, in World of Warcraft, a whole range of possibilities would be imaginable:
Pets
Mounts
Toys
Transmogrification items or even sets
What Blizzard will come up with here will probably be revealed in the coming weeks – perhaps even with the announcement of the new expansion.
How does it work? To snag the loot, you must have a Twitch Prime membership. This is automatically included with an “Amazon Prime” membership, for example. Then you need to link your Twitch account to your Battle.net account – and then you can snag the loot.
Getting a subscription just for the loot probably isn’t worth it. However, anyone who already uses Twitch Prime and plays Blizzard games should consider linking the accounts and the associated loot.
Will you be claiming the loot? Or do you think this mixing is not good?

At the start of Update 2.6, you can secure a lot of Primogems in Genshin Impact. You don’t even have to do much for this – just make sure you don’t miss it. MeinMMO tells you what you need to do.
On March 30, the Update 2.6 for Genshin Impact was released, bringing some new content. Among other things, the new character Ayato Kamisato is included, as well as new reruns of the 5-star characters Venti and in 3 weeks Ayaka Kamisato.
Furthermore, the area “great chasm” is coming, which introduces a new boss. You can see all the content here in the video.

The new characters can only be obtained through a lucky draw in the Gacha system. However, if you’re quick, you can easily grab 940 Primogems right now. You don’t have to do much for this.
How to get the Primogem gift in Genshin Impact
How do I get the gifted Primogems? To obtain all 940 Primogems, you don’t have to do much. You just need to act quickly. Here’s how:
900 Primogems you receive via in-game messages. To do this, open the Paimon menu in the game and select the envelope symbol on the left side of the screen. This will take you to your mailbox.
In the mailbox, you should find 3 messages. All 3 contain 300 Primogems each.
300 Primogems are compensation for the server maintenance that takes place before each patch.
Another 300 Primogems are compensation for the “Vessel of Remembrance” not being available during maintenance.
Additionally, there are another 300 Primogems for issues in version 2.5. Among other things, this included unintended attacks by Yae Miko on random enemies and ability bugs while sprinting.
Important: Whether you were affected by the bugs is irrelevant. Everyone receives this compensation.
Click “Claim All” at the bottom left to instantly collect the 900 Primogems.
On the left side of the Paimon menu, you will find your messages.
You can also obtain more Primogems by trying out the current 5-star characters. This is also very simple:
Select the “Actions” field in the Paimon menu (the icon for this is a compass).
Under the “Trial” option, you should see Kamisato displayed. From here click on “Try” in the bottom right.
Complete the challenge and click on “Leave Dungeon”.
If you click on “Trial” again in the action overview, you should be able to secure the 20 Primogems, where it says “In Progress” on the image above.
You can also try the 4-star characters currently available in the banner in this way. While you won’t receive Primogems, you will get character-relevant materials for leveling up.
Until when can I get the Primogems? The 900 Primogems you receive via messages will expire 30 days after the start of Patch 2.6. You have until April 29, 2022 to secure these 900 Primogems.
With Patch 2.6, you not only get the opportunity to secure a lot of Primogems, but also to discover new content.
And: There are already hints for what might come next. New characters have already been introduced, which could be an exciting option in terms of support. These include the Hydro character Yelan and Electro ninja Kuki Shinobu.
In the latest quarterly report, Blizzard showcased new gameplay for Diablo 4. The developers also talked about the dungeons of the upcoming action RPG. There will be over 150. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus is skeptical.
A bit exaggerated, yes, but Diablo 3 is quite colorful for a Diablo game, even though it was supposed to be darker. As a fan of dark Gothic games and oppressive atmospheres, I welcome all of this.
And even more: in the new blog post, it is stated that Diablo 4 will feature over 150 dungeons! A great number, isn’t it? This is now also spreading through the press and community.
Unfortunately, this is a bit misleading. Sure, Diablo 4 will have that many dungeons. Even more, all of which are unique. But it’s absolutely ridiculous that this exact number is being widely circulated. It means nothing.
Start video
Diablo 4 finally brings back dark dungeons and creepy caves – Watch the video here
The dungeons of Diablo are all unique yet also generic
Why does this statement bother me so much? Quite simply: it creates a false impression. The developers are less to blame with their wording than those who interpret too much into it.
What was presented to us are so-called “tile sets.” These are not finished dungeons, but components that will later become dungeons, towns, and outdoor areas. Think of it like building blocks that you assemble into your own creations.
In Diablo, worldbuilding works in such a way that maps are created randomly and partly procedurally. The game connects components with specific requirements that fit together in some way. However, the exact layout is never the same, but calculated through changing variables.
So yes, Diablo 4 will have 150 dungeons and even more. But they consist of the presented “tile sets” and are scattered across the randomly generated maps. You won’t necessarily find every dungeon in every run – at least, if it stays the way it has been.
In a way, Diablo 3 already has countless dungeons since each one is newly created. However, calling them individual dungeons would be… strange. You also don’t play an infinite number of rifts, even though they are randomly created as well.
Blizzard has merely shown how the dungeons will look in the new videos, conveying their atmosphere. The moving images are quite appealing and promise wonderfully dark dungeons.
As an MMO gamer, you probably know dungeons as instances that always play out the same. In that corner back there stands the boss Schmirgelfax, and at the final boss, you find the Hammer of Eternal Suffering if you’re lucky.
Dungeons in Diablo are simply caves or catacombs that can be found in the randomly generated world. Certain bosses can only be found here, and such bosses may drop special loot.
If they were all unique, it would require an enormous amount of work. For comparison: World of Warcraft has accumulated over 200 dungeons in its 18 years of existence. Many of these are no longer accessible, have been reworked, or are double counted, so the actual number is significantly lower.
But Diablo simply does not have such dungeons.
I cannot say with 100% certainty that Diablo 4 will really not have 150 dungeons like World of Warcraft. Maybe that’s why the development is taking so long. But it’s unlikely, and the statement is misleading.
If Diablo 4 were to feature such a number of unique dungeons that do not follow a chance factor, it would likely be bigger than any established MMO at launch. And that’s not what the game wants to be in the first place:

Elden Ring is not lacking in NPCs that are strange, creepy, or mean. Friendly faces like the doorman Gostoc are a pleasant exception – apparently. Because this guy, who seems so helpful, brazenly steals from you after every death. MeinMMO reveals more.
Shortly after the tutorial dungeon, Elden Ring gives you many signals that you should stop by the Stormveil Castle. This impressive castle is pretty much the first thing you see in the open world.
If you then manage to get past the brutal boss Margit, the doorman Gostoc is your first encounter and feels like soothing balm: he is friendly, warns you about the ambush at the main gate, and helps you find a safer way deeper into the castle.
The NPC Gostoc is in a room to the left of the main gate of the Stormveil Castle, and he couldn’t be more inconspicuous. Pale skin, strained voice, and clothes that almost completely blend in with the wall – this doorman is the epitome of a wallflower.
Especially after the tough fight against Margit, his friendly and reserved manner is very pleasant. He wishes you luck, gives you compliments, and offers you well-meaning and honest tips that you can easily decline without any hard feelings. Perhaps after talking to him, you have a small grin on your face before losing it to the falcons with sword feet again.

Everything you need to know about Elden Ring – in 2 minutes
But if you die in the Stormveil Castle and then gather your runes again, you might notice something. For some reason, you collect fewer runes than you lost. This doesn’t happen anywhere else in the game, and it was never part of the Souls games. Everything you lose can be just as easily collected again.
Actually. Because that is not true in the Stormveil Castle. And you may already suspect the reason: The inconspicuous Gostoc brazenly steals from you after every death.
The doorman takes a full 30% of your runes after each of your deaths – without the game ever explicitly telling you that. You might not even realize that you’re being robbed of large parts of your valuable earnings. Because the inconspicuous Gostoc secretly waits for your downfall and helps himself without any shame.
Gostoc is sneaky, but it’s worth keeping him alive
Even if Gostoc lurks in the shadows, observant players can witness his sneaky behavior. If you look closely, you can often spot Gostoc behind your character:
On a dilapidated watchtower.
While crossing the side path.
Inside the watchtower.
On the roof of the castle chapel.

But that’s not all: when you enter the dark room with the rusty key, someone closes the door behind you. You hear a nasty laugh while you are locked in with a difficult opponent. It’s the laugh of Gostoc.
This happens regardless of whether you accept his help or not. As long as Gostoc is alive, he will steal from you in the Stormveil Castle. But you shouldn’t act rashly:
Even if Gostoc steals from you and shamelessly betrays your trust: it might not be worth cold-bloodedly killing him. At least not anymore since the patch.
If you do leave the sneaky coward Gostoc alive to buy his Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, you should use this valuable item for the right weapons. In our extensive tier list, you can find out which weapons are currently the best in Elden Ring:

With Pinball FX, a free-to-play game of the same name is starting soon in the Epic Store. However, before the early access phase begins, the community is quite upset due to the pricing structure of the in-game shop. MeinMMO summarizes why.
What is Pinball FX and what is the problem?
This is a free pinball game and the latest installment of the series of the same name.
There are several wacky tables with different themes and designs.
Pinball FX launches on March 31 in the Epic Store as an early access title.
Before the launch, developer Zen Studios presented the pricing model.
This revelation caused some frustrated and angry reactions in the community. The blame is on the prices, the chaotic model, and moreover a subscription model.
Players of earlier titles also have to swallow a really bitter pill. We summarize why this issue is causing so much anger.
Here you can watch the video on the pricing model:

The Pricing Model of Pinball FX Explained – It’s Complicated
Why is the pricing model causing trouble? A big issue here are the tables.
For players who don’t spend money, 2 tables are available for free on a rotating basis. Those who want to unlock tables and modes must pay money.
While you could buy tables in earlier versions, those previous installments were released on Steam and tables could be carried over with the account.
However, Pinball FX is now launching in the Epic Store and according to Zen, account linking is not possible. Therefore, players cannot simply carry over their tables.
A new pricing system is now being introduced. Previously, tables could be bought in cheaper bundles. This is now done through a ticket system. Tickets can be purchased in-game for real money. There are packages of 100 tickets for $9.99, up to 1200 tickets for $100.
If that weren’t confusing enough, the tables also have different prices.
These depend on whether they are “legacy” tables that already exist, or if you buy one of the new tables.
There are also differences depending on whether these tables were designed by Zen themselves, or come into play as licensed tables through crossover events.
Original tables cost 40 tickets (about $4) in the legacy version, while new original tables cost 55 tickets (about $5.50).
Licensed legacy tables cost 45 tickets (about $4.50), while new licensed tables cost 60 tickets (about $6).
There will likely be exceptions as well, since the latest pack is an Indiana Jones table, which is referred to as a premium table and is expected to cost $15.
What the prices will be for us is currently unknown. However, it is quite possible that they will be adopted 1:1.
Additionally, there is also a subscription model. This gives players access to “most” of the tables, but the Indiana Jones table is not included, for example. For this, $14.99 per month, or $99.99 per year is required.
If you have already exited, you do not need to feel bad about it. Many players feel the same way.
This is what players are saying about the pricing model: They are not enthusiastic at all. Long-time players have to buy their tables anew.
Others calculate how much the fun would actually cost if you had to buy all the tables. The result: You would have to spend about $150. And this only applies to the tables that have been released so far.
So more will likely be added. In the Pinball FX subreddit, this is currently the main topic. A user writes: “The new details are so full of consumer-unfriendly nonsense that it’s hard for me to understand them.” The new ticket system is especially criticized.
This would make it impossible to simply spend as much money as one would actually like. Players have also calculated that you currently have to spend $150 to buy all 38 available tables. These cost, according to a player, 1685 tickets.
But to buy 1685 tickets, players would need to purchase a $100 package with 1200 tickets, and additionally would need a $49.99 package with 575 tickets.
You would have 90 tickets left over, thus paying an extra $9. Players suspect that this is intended to encourage you to spend more money than necessary.
The subscription model is also getting its share of criticism. It is said to be “more expensive than a Netflix subscription” and is simply too expensive with 36 tables.
This is underscored by numerous annoyed or angry comments:
“The pricing is ridiculous and shabby. The fact that there is no universal account, so everything has to be bought anew on Steam, is ridiculous.” – Cardone19
“They have lost all respect and interest in their franchise… which is a shame because it is a great way to play old tables that you can’t find in some arcades… but they won’t get any money from me until they come to their senses.” – Shuoinked
“I wanted to download it on Thursday just to see how it is… but now I think I prefer not to contribute to their download numbers. I didn’t plan to buy tickets, but just wanted to try the game, but even that would be a win for them.” – DocBullseye
And such comments are read there on a regular basis. Many wish for the table bundles to return. Zen has already tried to calm the situation and explained the removal of the bundles. However, this has not been able to appease the players.
Bundles have been removed because players can buy the tables individually anyway in the future.
Players criticize that bundles were often cheaper, and that the ticket packages, due to their prices, prevent you from actually benefiting from the selection.
Whether the 33%-discount action at the early access launch will help remains to be seen. But what do you think about the debate? Do you understand the criticism? Feel free to share your opinions with us.
In CoD Vanguard a “Pay To Lose” skin has been discovered. With the skin “Alley” for Operator Arthur, your vision is almost completely obstructed when aiming. The reason is a simple thumb. MeinMMO tells you more.
In Call of Duty, all cosmetic skins should actually serve only to provide you with aesthetic options.
Sometimes these skins are very simple color changes, other times you can shoot as a famous rapper or anime goliath in World War II thanks to purchased skins. There shouldn’t be any gameplay advantages or disadvantages, at least in theory.
But now players have discovered a skin that even gives you disadvantages. Because if you’ve shelled out €10 for the Battle Pass for Season 1, you’ve also paid for a skin that obstructs your view when aiming the Panzerfaust.

The finger from the premium skin ruins the Panzerfaust
The “Alley” skin for Operator Arthur has been around since Season 1 of CoD Vanguard, but only now has a curious problem with it been found. This skin obstructs your view when aiming with a rocket launcher. The famous Panzerfaust has one finger too many, as this clip on reddit shows:

Since your character was completely dressed in black with this full skin, you could easily hide in dark niches of the map. Being able to remain undetected, even if only for a second, is a gigantic advantage in a game like CoD. That’s why the Roze skin was pay-to-win: Those who paid won more easily.
This skin from Season 1 blocks your view with a thumb
What does Pay-To-Lose mean? Pay-To-Lose is the exact opposite: An originally purely cosmetic skin gives you a clear disadvantage. It can be a skin that is too colorful, making you immediately stand out. In the case of the Alley skin in Vanguard, it is a finger that protrudes so far that it almost pokes you in the eye.
Because the finger on this skin rests differently for unknown reasons than with other skins in the game, it specifically obstructs your view when using the Panzerfaust. Thus, you either can’t see where you are aiming at all or you accidentally aim through the wrong hole in the sight. Then, as a commenter in the reddit post states, “you will probably kill yourself.”
There is still no official statement from the developers regarding this skin. At least you can no longer purchase the skin – it was only available in the Battle Pass of Season 1, but the second half of Season 2 just started.
Another form of “Pay to Win” recently cost a professional player his career. Because he gained unfair advantages in tournaments with purchased cheats. When he tried to prove that he plays fairly, he unfortunately achieved the exact opposite:

A new bug is currently causing trouble in Lost Ark and is annoying many players. However, especially the fans who were already playing in New World have a bad premonition regarding this error.
This is because the great concern that players had with the heart bug has come true, at least in part. Currently, it is possible for players to display their own HTML codes to a certain extent in the chat of Lost Ark.
Warning – We are not explaining here how the bug can be exploited, and even if you know how to do it, we ask you to refrain from elaborating on it in the comments. This serves for a better gaming experience for all fans.
It is still unclear to what extent this is the case in Lost Ark. However, it seems to currently be limited to minor inconveniences and crashing chat windows. That this error can also have particularly severe consequences was recently shown by another MMORPG from Amazon, namely New World.
There, players were even able to complete specific quests directly by entering a code in the chat due to a very similar bug, thereby farming gold. Or even generate an item link to an item that doesn’t exist at all. This then caused New World to crash completely and Steam to perform a repair.
Why is it about the sausage? It was particularly popular in New World to exploit this bug to make giant sausages appear on players’ screens. It was indeed possible to simply enlarge all images found in the game and post them in the chat.
In Lost Ark, we are currently seeing a similar development, just without the images. Right now, it is already possible to change the font and especially the font size in the chat of Lost Ark, and even the speech bubble above your head can be manipulated. This is often used to spread specific memes that occur in the MMORPG.
While some fans are currently just wondering why their chat window keeps crashing or why massively large letters appear in the small window, other players already have bad premonitions.
What you see here was not a graphic bug in New World, but an oversized image posted in the chat.
“Great, now I can be yelled at by bots”
How does the community react? A large part of the players is currently taking it easy and with humor. However, especially the fans who were previously in New World see the situation less calmly and are worried about what else could come.
Amazon itself seems to take the bug seriously; on reddit, many players are already reporting that they have been temporarily banned for exploiting this chat bug, even if it was just for fun. This also creates a good mood in the community and gives fans the feeling that Amazon is keeping their needs in mind.
Moreover, players are concerned that bots could soon figure out the trick and thus promote their dubious offers in enormous size. Besides these concerns, reddit is in a relaxed mood and completely follows the comment from Khalmoon: “I can’t stop laughing, how can Amazon let this happen TWICE?”
This is what the chat might look like for you just before it crashes. (Source: reddit)
A lot of humor and little understanding
What do the fans say? A highlight of the discussion about the error are definitely the rather funny comments in a reddit thread, where the topic recently came up. It currently has over 550 comments. Therefore, we would like to share some of them with you:
In response to a user comment stating that it doesn’t work with color, PrimitiveMammal replies: “Yes, it works great. I was only banned for 24 hours after I tried it.”
Mofu__Mofu writes: “New World players are already shaking” to which another user responds: “Prepare yourselves, the sausages are coming.”
Akaicewolf also writes: “The legend of the sausages is not yet fully told. They may no longer exist in New World, but they will live on.”
WolvesbaneYT thinks it’s even worse than in New World: “Hey, it’s even worse than there. We only had harmless giant sausages, you are crashing entire chats.”
Huehueleaguepro takes it humorously and says: “My LaiLais have just been officially improved!” (LaiLai is an insider from the Punika region of Lost Ark. You hear this term particularly often there.)
What do you think of the bug? Do you find the whole situation still amusing or are you also worried that this bug exists in Lost Ark to some extent? Have you personally noticed that this error is being exploited in the chat? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
After many rumors and speculations, Sony revealed the new model for PlayStation Plus on March 29. Subscription holders will be able to choose from three different tiers starting in June. In the new MeinMMO Podcast, we explain how exactly the new system will work.
This is the topic: Sony presented a new subscription model for PS4 and 5 on March 29, which includes three different tiers that users can choose from.
While there are no changes to the base model, two additional options are added that promote a large selection of free games for (almost) all console and handheld generations of PlayStation. These games change regularly, some rotate in, while others disappear.

The colleagues from GameStar describe the title in their presentation as a mix of Pay Day, Assassins Creed, and Hunt: Showdown, accurately capturing the essence of the dark adventure (via GameStar.de).
You and your friends carry out a medieval heist, all in a hostile PvEvP environment. Opponent players and NPCs are closing in on you and trying to prevent you from obtaining your well-earned riches.
When do the games come out? The games from PS Plus are available to you every first Tuesday of the month. This time it is April 5, and usually the games go live around 12 noon.
To craft the Expert Tools in Lost Ark, you need an Expert Crafting Set. We at MeinMMO show you where you can farm it.
The Expert Tools are the Tier-4 tools, which means they are legendary. At first, you receive the green Tier-1 tool; you have to craft the rest yourself in your stronghold.
To craft the Expert Tools, you need an Expert Crafting Set per tool, among other items.
How do I get the sets? There are secret dungeons in Lost Ark that you must traverse to obtain an Expert Crafting Set. You can get the maps through the main quest, through Chaos Portals, or you can craft them yourself in your stronghold.
As a reward, you receive a chest. Inside, there could be either an Expert Crafting Set or an Adept Crafting Set. Both are rare, so you will likely have to run more than one dungeon.
Alternatively, you can buy the Crafting Set on the market for about 1,500 gold.
What else do I need? To craft the legendary tools, you first need the blueprint. You can purchase it from the NPC Jeniff in your stronghold for 250 Adventurer Seals per tool blueprint.
In your workshop under the “Tools” tab, you will now craft the tools. Besides the Expert Crafting Set, you will also need 28x Tool Crafting Parts, 30x Strong Iron Ore, 20x Rare Relic, and 32x Ancient Relic. The crafting costs 250 gold and takes nearly six hours.
You craft the tools in your stronghold.
What do better tools bring? With each rarity tier, your tools have more bonuses. These include, for example, an increased chance of finding rare items, faster gathering, and – which is very useful – the effect that you are no longer interrupted while crafting when you are attacked by enemies.
It is worth crafting the higher-tier tools instead of sticking with the green Tier-1 tools.
What tools do you use to practice your crafting skills? Have you already crafted Adept Tools or even Expert Tools? What bonuses have you received? Or are you one of the players who completely ignore Life Skills? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!
Anyone who wants to buy a PS5 must be very lucky or rely on technical tricks. Sony has now come up with a new idea on how to make life difficult for scalpers. However, it remains questionable how well this new ‘trick’ will work.
Anyone who wants to buy a PS5 is currently having little luck. Many consoles are not being sold at the moment, and the drops are rather small. The drop from Saturn was a disaster and the PS5 drop at Medimax was technically chaotic as well.
Now Sony seems to have a new idea on how to make life harder for these people, but it doesn’t seem very convincing.
A small sticker is supposed to make life difficult for scalpers
What is this trick? Anyone who buys a PS5 or other hardware from Sony’s direct shop will find their packages sealed with a special holographic sticker. As soon as this seal is broken, the buyer knows that the hardware has already been used. Other manufacturers also use such stickers, and especially with expensive hardware, these “security hologram VOID security films” are applied.
Sony has now started distributing a similar sticker to retailers in Japan (via gamerant.com). This sticker is then supposed to be applied to the PS5 packaging and broken at the point of sale. Future buyers are then to believe that the console has already been used.
Because the holographic stickers cannot be completely removed, and worst-case scenario, even the packaging tears. Therefore, no one can hide that the package has already been opened.
What is this supposed to achieve? The intention is to force scalpers to sell the unsealed consoles as used, which should reduce the prices for PS5 scalpers. This is because there are legal regulations on what can be sold as “new” and what can be sold as “used”.
In theory, this sounds good; in practice, it is unlikely to deter most scalpers from buying PS5 consoles and reselling them at high prices. There are also no reports so far that prices for PS5 consoles have really fallen. And anyone who really wants a console and doesn’t want to wait any longer will continue to pay greedy scalpers for it. And scalpers are supposed to be able to live well thanks to the PS5.
Tips for buying a PS5: If you haven’t got a PS5 yet and really want to buy one, check out our ticker. Here we keep you up to date daily and explain how you can best get a PS5 and show you drops for the coveted console. This way, you don’t have to support scalpers:

On Saturday, April 2nd, it’s finally happening. The two German streamers Trymacs and MckyTV will face off in a boxing match. At the boxing event “The Great Fight Night”, other well-known faces will also compete against each other. You can find the most important information about the event here.
What kind of event is this? At “The Great Fight Night”, there will be a total of 3 boxing matches between German influencers.
In a professional setting, famous amateur streamer boxers will compete against each other – all for the enjoyment of the viewers and perhaps to settle a small, personal score.
The main fight of the evening will be between Twitch heavyweights Trymacs and MckyTV – together they have 4.1 million followers on Twitch.
Trymacs vs. MckyTV – Time and Information about the Main Fight
When does Trymacs fight MckyTV? The main fight starts as the last fight of the evening. Before that, there will be 2 other fights between streamers.
If you only want to see the boxing match of Trymacs vs. Micky, tune in on April 2nd no later than 9:25 PM – that’s when the starting gong is scheduled.
Fighter Details Trymacs Weight: 118 kg Weight Class: Super Heavyweight Age: 27 Twitch Followers: 2.9 million.
Fighter Details MckyTV Weight: 99 kg Weight Class: Super Heavyweight Age: 28 Twitch Followers: 1.2 million.
How did the boxing match come about? During a conversation between the two, Trymacs claimed he would knock Micky out. The conversation escalated and the small banter actually led to both training for weeks and engaging in a boxing match.
Actually, the fight was already scheduled for last year. However, Trymacs got injured and broke his collarbone.
At the press conference before the fight, Micky and Trymacs talked about their expectations and backgrounds regarding the fight. We’ll embed the YouTube video here:

You can find more information about the preparation for the fights on joyn. The mini-series “Road to the Great Fight Night” shows in 8 episodes the journey of Trymacs and MckyTV to the big fight (via joyn.de).
Rules of the Boxing Match
How does the match proceed? The two super heavyweights will compete in a total of 8 rounds. Each round lasts 2 minutes.
Normally, rounds in professional boxing last 3 minutes. And even though that may sound short, 2 minutes is already a significant challenge for body and mind. The number of rounds varies from fight to fight. 8 rounds are quite normal.
If the fight goes the full 8 rounds, a points system will decide the winner. Unblocked hits to the head and upper body count. The decision regarding a hit lies in the hands of 3 judges who independently count the hits.
The winner of a round receives 10 points, while the loser receives 9 points. If the loser of a round goes to the ground (knockdown), there is an additional point deduction. The winner always receives 10 points.
A KO (knockout) can end the fight earlier. If a fighter is unable to be ready to fight again within 10 seconds after a knockdown, it is considered a KO.
If the fight is stopped or a contestant gives up, it leads to a T.K.O. – a technical knockout.
A disqualification of a fighter is also possible, which is not considered a knockout. If one of the fighters does not adhere to the rules and repeatedly delivers illegal low blows, the referee can disqualify a fighter.
Are there any further events planned? Even beforehand, Trymacs and Micky announced a rematch. The second fight will see both streamers with the full 3 minutes per round.
“The Great Fight Night” in Stream – Fights, Schedule, Tickets
When does The Great Fight Night air? The mega-event will be streamed for free on the platform “joyn”. The stream starts at 6:00 PM, and the first fight is scheduled to take place at 6:05 PM.
The whole event will be hosted by Steven Gätjen, sports journalist Tobias Drews will be available as a commentator, and German boxing legend Axel Schulz will accompany as an expert.
When are the fights? A total of 3 fights between German streamers are scheduled for the evening:
6:05 PM: Rumathra vs. Vlesk
7:10 PM: Chefstrobel vs xHankyy
9:25 PM: Trymacs vs. MckyTV
Originally, streamers Rewi and Amar were supposed to fight as well. Therefore, there may be changes to the schedule. However, as of now, there are no official changes to the plan; an alternative filler program may be available during that time.
Where is the event taking place? The event will be held in Cologne at the LANXESS Arena. Up to 15,000 spectators are expected to watch the boxing matches on-site, while adhering to the locally applicable corona regulations.
How do I get tickets? Through the LANXESS Arena website, tickets can be ordered at the time of the article’s publication:
If you are under 18 but over 16, you need a “Muttizettel” to enter the hall. If you are younger, you need a “Muttizettel” and an adult supervisor over 18. One supervisor may oversee a maximum of 2 people under 16.
Fights between amateurs are hard to predict. Trymacs seems to have the physical advantage, being taller and heavier.
However, if he relies too much on his strength, he could run out of breath quickly, and Micky will take the advantage. Techniques of punching and movement also play an important role.
Colleague MontanaBlack is already hyped for the fight and places his bets on Trymacs:

In this raid guide, you will find a list of the 10 best Psychic-type attackers in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO have summarized what makes each monster special and why you should use them.
In raid battles, it is important to use the right counters. For this reason, you should rely on the 10 best Electric-type attackers against Water and Flying Pokémon. We will show you which ones those are below.
How did the ranking come about? In our ranking of the 10 best Electric-type attackers, we considered all Pokémon that you can hatch, evolve, or catch in the wild and through raids. We have excluded shadow and mega evolutions.
Zekrom is a legendary Pokémon from generation 5. It belongs to the Dragon and Electric types. Zekrom can score particularly well with a strong attack and good stamina. But its defense is also impressive.
With Charge Beam and Thunder Shock, it also has a fast attack combination that deals solid damage. However, Zekrom is not only a strong Electric-type Pokémon, it is also one of the best Dragon-type attackers.
Can you catch Shiny Zekrom? Yes, Zekrom is also available in its shiny form in the game. Occasionally, the legendary Pokémon can be found in level 5 raids. However, its shiny form differs only by a slightly different shade of gray from the normal variant. So you have to look closely.
2. Voltolos (Therian Form)
Voltolos (Therian Form)
Best Moveset: Volt Switch and Thunderbolt
Another legendary Pokémon is Voltolos. The monster is also from generation 5, belongs to the Electric and Flying types, and has two different forms: Incarnate Form and Therian Form. For use in raids, you should choose the Therian form, as it is stronger.
Voltolos (Therian Form) impresses with an enormous attack value, which is even better than Zekrom’s. With its moveset of Volt Switch and Thunderbolt, it also deals significant damage to the opponent in a short time.
However, Voltolos (Therian Form) scores lower in stamina and defense, which is why it only secures second place.
Is there a Shiny Voltolos (Therian Form)? So far, Voltolos (Therian Form) is not available in its shiny form. However, it is expected to be available starting on April 5, 2022, in connection with its return to level 5 raids. You will recognize the shiny form by its purple to pink decorations on its body.
3. Raikou
Raikou normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Best Moveset: Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt
Raikou has a slightly weaker attack value than Voltolos (Therian Form). However, this legendary Electric-type Pokémon from generation 2 can score points with strong stamina and good defense. It can hold out longer in battle.
With Thunder Shock, it has a fast instant attack. Overall, it deals slightly less damage than other attackers, like Zekrom or Voltolos (Therian Form).
Can you catch Shiny Raikou? Yes, Raikou is also available in its shiny form in the game. You can recognize it by its orange body.
4. Zapdos
Zapdos normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Best Moveset: Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt
The legendary Pokémon of the Electric and Flying type also ranks among the top Electric-type attackers. The bird impresses with a strong attack value, which is slightly better than Raikou’s. However, it is somewhat weaker in defense.
Just like Raikou, it has a fast instant attack. However, its charge attack Thunderbolt deals less damage than Thunder Shock, so its moveset is overall slightly worse than that of the other attackers.
Can you catch Shiny Zapdos? Yes, Zapdos can also be caught in its shiny form in Pokémon GO. Occasionally, it appears as a raid boss in level 5 raids. The shiny version is however hardly distinguishable from the normal form. However, you can recognize the shiny by its darker feet. So pay close attention.
5. Magnezone
Magnezone normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Best Moveset: Magnet Bomb and Thunderbolt
Magnezone is the final evolution of Magnemite. The Pokémon from generation 4 belongs to the Electric and Steel types. Like the other top attackers, Magnezone impresses with a strong attack value that is slightly worse than Raikou’s.
But it is also solid in stamina and defense. It can also score with the fast instant attack Magnet Bomb. With the charge attack Thunderbolt, it also deals significant damage.
Is there a Shiny Magnezone? Yes, you can catch Shiny Magnemite and evolve it into Magnezone. You can mainly find it in the wild during rain and snow and can also attract it with a Magnet Lure module. You can recognize Shiny Magnezone by its front blue spot.
6. Luxray
Luxray normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Best Moveset: Magnet Bomb and Thunderbolt
The Electric-type Pokémon Luxray comes from generation 4 and is the final evolution of Shinx. Its attack value is nearly as high as that of Magnezone, but it does not hold up as well in battle due to slightly worse defense values.
It can also score with a moveset of the fast instant attack Magnet Bomb and the strong charge attack Thunderbolt.
Can you catch Shiny Luxray? Luxray is available in its shiny form in the game. To get it, you first have to catch a Shiny Shinx and evolve it accordingly. You can recognize the shiny Luxray by its golden-yellow body.
7. Electivire
Electivire normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Best Moveset: Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt
Another strong Electric-type attacker is Electivire. The evolution of Elekid comes from generation 4. The Electric-type Pokémon has a strong attack value that is almost as high as Zapdos’.
With its charge attack Thunderbolt, it also deals significant damage to the opponent. However, it does not hold up as well in battle due to its stamina and defense values, which is why it does not last long.
Can you catch Shiny Electivire? Shiny Electivire is indeed available in the game, but to get it, you need to catch a Shiny Electabuzz. This Pokémon can be attracted with a Magnet Lure module or can be found in the wild. Keep an eye out for it especially in the rain. You can recognize Shiny Electivire by its golden body.
8. Alolan Golem
Alolan Golem normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Best Moveset: Volt Switch and Thunder Shock
In your raid battles, you can also rely on the Rock and Electric-type Pokémon Alolan Golem. The Pokémon has solid values in attack, stamina, and defense, but stands out with a strong moveset.
With Volt Switch and Thunder Shock, it benefits from an attack combination that deals a lot of damage and is also relatively fast.
Is there a Shiny Alolan Golem? Yes, you can catch a Shiny Alolan Geodude and evolve it. You can mainly find it in the wild during rain and partly cloudy weather or attract it with a Magnet Lure module. Additionally, you might find it occasionally in field research at PokéStops. You can recognize Shiny Alolan Golem by its brown body.
The legendary Alolan Pokémon Tapu Koko debuted in Pokémon GO with the start of the Alolan season. It is of the Electric and Fairy types. Tapu Koko benefits from an attack value that can compete with that of Zapdos.
However, its stamina and defense are somewhat worse, which is why it won’t hold out as long in battle. With Volt Switch, it has a really strong instant attack, and it also deals significant damage with Thunderbolt.
Can you catch Shiny Tapu Koko? No, Tapu Koko cannot currently be caught in its shiny form in Pokémon GO.
10. Jolteon
Jolteon normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Best Moveset: Volt Switch and Charge Beam
And Jolteon, one of the eight evolutions of Eevee, is a good choice as an Electric-type attacker. The Electric Pokémon can also score with a high attack value. In defense and stamina, it is not as strong, which is why it does not hold up in battle for long.
However, Jolteon has a really strong moveset of Volt Switch and Charge Beam. This attack combination is not only very fast but also deals considerable damage to the opponent.
Can you catch Shiny Jolteon? You can get the shiny version of Jolteon by catching an Eevee and evolving it. The shiny Jolteon is recognized by its green body.
What tricks you can use to evolve Eevee are detailed in our following article:
Shadow Electivire with Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt
Shadow Zapdos with Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt
Shadow Magnezone with Magnet Bomb and Thunder Shock
That’s why you should use Shadow Pokémon: Your Shadow Pokémon benefit in battle from a 20% higher attack value than other Pokémon. Thus, they deal more damage to your opponent. Even though their defense is slightly worse and they don’t last as long in battle, this attack advantage can be worthwhile for you.
The best Mega Electric-type attackers
Mega Ampharos with Thunder Fang and Thunderbolt
Mega Manectric with Volt Switch and Thunder Cannon
Why should you use Mega Evolutions? In Pokémon GO, certain monsters have a temporary Mega Evolution that you can trigger with Mega Energy. Mega Evolutions are stronger.
Additionally, they strengthen the attacks of their respective types in battle. So not only Mega Ampharos and Mega Manectric benefit from stronger Electric-type attacks, but also all other monsters using Electric-type attacks. It can therefore be helpful to use appropriate Mega Evolutions in raids.
Which Electric Pokémon do you like to rely on in raids? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.

After completing most story content and quests of the new expansion “The Witch Queen” in Destiny 2, and with only hardcore content left, Bungie is tuning the meta. However, the first adjustment caused quite a stir, as it rendered two weapon types much less interesting. MeinMMO tells you which ones and why.
What adjustments are we talking about? Especially PvP players and glaive enthusiasts need to brace themselves, as yesterday’s hotfix 4.0.0.5 revealed two weapon nerfs in the ongoing Season 16 for significant advantages.
For fusion rifles, the effectiveness of the perk “Like a Rock in Stormy Seas” has been reduced by 50%.
Glaives now fully charge only after hitting 4 successful projectile hits, and fighters are no longer indefinitely stunned when hit by a glaive melee attack.
The armor mod “Suppressing Glaive” now consumes (and requires) 10% weapon energy when suppression is applied with glaive melee attacks.
Fusion rifles remain strong: The nerf to fusion rifles, especially in PvP, could still be seen as justified, as they were able to achieve kills from 30m away in PvP. The perk “Like a Rock in Stormy Seas” was particularly popular on the new craftable Throne World fusion rifle “Pretty Suspicous”.
Despite the 50% reduction, the perk “Like a Rock in Stormy Seas” on fusion rifles is still a good option in PvP, showing just how strong this advantage was. Players should continue to effectively engage outside shotgun range with a consistent fusion rifle.
The end of the glaive? For glaives, however, the adjustment means a death knell for many players of the newest weapon type in Destiny 2. Suppression was the only thing that kept glaives even remotely relevant. Now glaives seem worse than any other weapon in the game, as the player Kryptokashless writes on reddit.
Glaives are now worse than any other weapon in the game. The only thing that would save glaives right now would be activating damage advantages for glaive melee, like Rampage.
Is it still enough to keep the glaive as a serious weapon in the game?
The effects of the glaive nerf
The nerf for the glaive also affects the powerful perk “Suppressing Glaive” from the seasonal artifact of Season 16.
If you deal damage to fighters with your glaive, they become suppressed and cannot use abilities for a short time.
With the nerf, the perk can no longer chain the suppression effect on enemies through repeated melee attacks. Instead, the glaive now consumes 10% of its energy. You will therefore need to score several successful ranged hits including ammunition to use the effect of the suppressing glaive. Currently, it takes 4 hits to fully utilize the glaive’s energy. Before the change, a melee hit would trigger the suppression and didn’t even require ammunition.
This change nullifies a large part of the effect of the artifact mods and leads to the new weapon type being relegated to the vault by players for good, or even disassembled indefinitely.
This is also the sentiment of the player Japjer, who commented on the hotfix article on reddit:
They could have simply added a cooldown of three seconds. Or a five-second cooldown. Damn! Almost anything would have been better than this.
Let me ask you all a question: Who asked for suppressing glaive mod changes? Why didn’t they [Bungie] use this development time to polish glaives overall instead of “fixing” a mod that is going to disappear in a month and a half? […]
For many players, this nerf also marks the final death knell for the use of exotic glaives. They were already hardly relevant in the game without this adjustment, as they offered too few advantages, leading to player disappointment.
Many hunters in Destiny 2 have already buried their “ninja glaive build” with permanent invisibility, as they are only granted invisibility if they have some energy left on their glaive.
Thus, the player Edel456 has already returned to his Warlock, which promises him much more fun.
Being a space ninja was the most fun for me with my hunter class. Now I’m back to being a space wizard with my Warlock, and it’s so much more fun.
The raid glaive “Lubraes Ruin” is also affected by the nerf.
Is the glaive weapon type still salvageable? As interesting as the glaive is, it currently has a bad reputation among players. In challenging activities, the glaive often feels weak and has thus been only usable in normal activities, like Gambit or in the campaign.
However, it should be noted with this nerf that if an enemy is already suppressed, whether by a shot, a melee, a grenade, or through a teammate, all glaive melee attacks against that enemy do not consume energy.
Nevertheless, some players hope that Bungie will perhaps give attention to glaives again after the hardcore activities of the Nightfall “Grandmaster” and that they might receive a buff in the future. Once the seasonal glaive mods leave the game at the end of Season 16, this could signal the final end for this weapon type.
What do you think about the adjustments? Has the nerf caused you to stop using your glaive, or was it already irrelevant to you? And what do you think about the adjustments to fusion rifles? Did you use the perk, or do you find the adjustment unimportant because other perk combinations and fusion rifles are better anyway? Please let us know your thoughts in the comments.

In Lost Ark, some life skills are waiting for you. But while you can simply walk past a tree or plant and press “G”, fishing is not that easy. Therefore, we clarify the question: How does one actually fish?
What requirements do you need? To unlock fishing, you first need to master life skills in general. This happens automatically when you follow the main story and then accept the purple quest in the village of Lakebar. It teaches you the first steps in the crafting world of Lost Ark.
This quest, however, initially only involves mining ore and chopping down trees. What is particularly tricky is that there is a spot in Lakebar where you can fish. The game just doesn’t explain how it actually works. If you press “G” at the fishing spot, you only get a message that your level is too low for that.
What does fishing bring? By fishing, you can obtain fish and meat in Lost Ark that you need for various cooking recipes. With these, you can then prepare delicious food in your fortress or even host large feasts.
With a little luck, you will also obtain rare pearls that can be effectively converted into money, and, as with any other life skill, you always have a chance to get valuable world tree leaves.

The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark
How to Fish – The Path to Becoming a Pro Fisherman
How does one fish? Once you have equipped a fishing rod, you can start fishing. All you need is a spot where you are allowed to catch fish. To find these spots, you can open the map with “M” and look for large blue fishing hooks.
You can find out if there are any on the map when you hover over the area on the world map. In the upper right corner, you can then see which resources are available on the selected map. If there is a fishing hook there, nothing can stop you anymore.
Now stand at a fishing spot and switch to life skills with the “B” key. Now hover your mouse over the water and press “E” to cast your line. After a few seconds, you can see a fish approaching your float.
If it bites, a red exclamation mark will appear above your float for about 2 seconds. During this time, you must press “E” again to reel in the fish. If you are too slow, you will end up empty-handed, but your crafting energy will still be used.
On the left, you can see how the fish approaches your float. On the right, you can see the exclamation mark, where you need to press “E”.
Levelling Up Fishing is Worth It
What are the fishing spots you can interact with for? You will often notice that you can press “G” at many fishing spots at a certain point. But this won’t help you much at first.
However, if you level up fishing, you will unlock fish traps at level 20 and nets at level 30. You can then place these at the predefined spots by pressing “G” and catch several fish without stress or attention. These skills, of course, also consume crafting energy.
Level 10 brings more loot: Additionally, you should level fishing, just like any other life skill, to level 10 as quickly as possible. This not only allows you to receive tickets for the platinum fields but also unlocks another skill.
With the skill at level 10, you can cast bait every 15 minutes. This bait lasts for 2 minutes and increases your chance of rare fish. Furthermore, the bait also doubles the crafting experience you gain from fishing for the entire duration.
If you have further questions about fishing or life skills or would like to provide general feedback, feel free to contact [email protected] or visit our Discord.

Yura is one of the few Japanese-inspired NPCs in Elden Ring. He wears a Ronin armor and carries the katana Nagakiba. MeinMMO reveals in this guide how to complete his quest and secure his equipment.
Yura is a wandering Ronin that you can meet early in the game. During his quest, you can obtain his katana, the Nagakiba, and also acquire his Ronin armor. He will also introduce you to the Dragon Communion.
So, if you have a penchant for Ronin and katanas and want to utilize dragon summons, you may be interested here. His quest can be easily overlooked, but it is still relatively easy to acquire his equipment.
We will show you step by step how to proceed to complete his quest in all phases. As is customary with other Elden Ring quests, you must speak to the NPC as often as possible until the dialogue repeats.
Note: The guide frequently mentions that you need to “reload your world.” This means that you need to advance the next steps of the relevant NPCs. This happens whenever you restart the game or rest briefly at a Site of Grace.
You may also need to choose “pass the time” as needed. This allows you to rest until morning, noon, or night.
The fastest way to reload a world is to exit your game in the pause menu and load back directly from the main menu.
If you only want the armor, it’s easy
If you don’t care much about the story of this quest and the individual steps, you can actually largely ignore the quest. So you can simply jump to the end of the quest.

Elden Ring: Yura Quest – All Steps Explained
You can find Yura in Limgrave, not far from where you start the game. There are two ways to find him. Yura is waiting in a gorge, north of Agheel Lake. You can either climb down into the gorge from the north or enter the gorge from the south.
The 2 Ways to Yura
This is the first route: The first way leads north of the gorge via a ledge. Once you reach the bottom, go south. You will find the Ronin under the next bridge.
If you encounter Yura via this route, he will warn you during your first conversation about a dragon at Agheel Lake.
This is what you need to note about the dragon:
If you kill the dragon and then speak to Yura again, he will tell you about the Church of Dragon Communion and show you its location.
If you exchange dragon hearts there, you can learn special dragon summons. Some of them are very powerful and particularly useful in boss fights.
This is the alternative way: You will need to travel towards the Swamp Cave. From the Site of Grace “Northern Side of Agheel Lake,” head east.
Ride around the lake until you find a spot to go down. You can easily reach the entrance of the gorge from the lake.
Here you find Yura for the first time.Here you see the entrance to the gorge when you take route 2.
On the left side, you will pass a campfire located at the entrance of the Swamp Cave.
Continue on, and you will be attacked by Bloody Finger Nerijus. If you defeat him, you will obtain the dagger Reduvia, one of the best weapons in the game.
Once you have defeated Nerijus, Yura will wait at another spot, further north under the huge rock arch. Speak to him until he repeats himself, and you can move on.
Note: If you kill Nerijus and have not defeated the dragon, Yura will wait again at his original location.
After Limgrave, it’s off to the Lake Region of Liurnia
You will now find Yura in the Academy of Raya Lucaria. There, you will find a red summon sign on the bridge north of the main gate. You will need to walk through the magical seal.
Enter his world and defeat the Bloody Finger Assassin. After your victory, you will find Yura again in your world, not far from where you summoned yourself. Speak to him until everything repeats and move on.
The next step gets you Yura’s Katana “Nagakiba”
You will now find Yura at the Second Church of Marika on the Altus Plateau. Speak to him, and he gives you the Nagakiba katana. Afterwards, you will be attacked by Bloody Finger Eleonora. If you defeat her, you will obtain Eleonora’s polearm and can proceed to the next step.
Kill Shabiri to obtain the Ronin Armor
Instead of Yura, you will now deal with Shabiri. He has somehow taken control of Yura’s body. You will find him at the ruins of Zamor, on the mountaintop of the giants.
Speak to him, and he will instruct you to find the Three Fingers below the royal capital. If you are after his armor, you can now attack him and claim it after your victory.
Here you see the armor and the katana.
Can you also get the katana without completing the steps? Yes. You can also obtain the Nagakiba if you never met Yura and only killed Shabiri.
You will find the katana at one of the three locations where you can meet Yura, so either in the gorge near the Swamp Cave, at the main gate to the Academy of Raya Lucaria, or at the Second Church of Marika.
What can the katana do? The Nagakiba is an interesting weapon and has the highest range of all katanas in Elden Ring.
Additionally, it has bleeding damage, which is very strong in Elden Ring. The weapon works best if you use it two-handed, or as dual katanas. This way, you can execute significantly stronger attacks thanks to “Power Stance” by wielding both weapons at the same time.
