In Destiny 2, players who own the Witch Queen have the chance to obtain exotic glaives. Bungie teased some amazing shots beforehand, showcasing how cool the hybrid weapon is. However, players have tested the glaives and are disappointed.
What have players complained about? Players had already complained about the nerve-wracking grind. Certain weapons essential for the glaive quest simply did not drop. Guardians farmed for hours in the new activity “Urquell” – but to no avail.
Now that the Worlds First is over, Guardians have the opportunity to acquire the blueprint for the class-specific exotics. But when the forging began and players could test the new glaives, disappointment set in.
Tough grind for bad weapons
What is so bad about the exotic glaives? Unfortunately, the glaives cannot compete with their legendary versions. Many aspects are simply not refined yet:
To use the special ability, the glaive must be charged.
Charging requires 5–7 shots on an opponent to be fully charged.
If you use the special ability, all energy for blocking is wasted.
You have to sacrifice ammo and the ability to block in order to activate the glaive’s ultimate.
Glaive ultimates are too weak and not worth it for end-game content.
The new weapon class glaive
Many Guardians remain loyal to their legendary variant and prefer to stash their exotics in the vault. Since the hybrid is exotic in this case, players see no reason to waste their item slot on it. Instead, they opt for other exotics with better DPS potential, such as the Gjallarhorn or The Epic Prelude.
What exotic glaives are there? There are three exotic glaives that players can earn for each class.
Blade of the Accord – Hunter – Creates Arc shockwaves
Blade of the Action – Titan – Creates a small Titan bubble
Blade of the Intention – Warlock – Creates Noble rounds that seek and heal players
What do players say? Guardians are unimpressed with the exotic variants. They feel Bungie has launched a test run to see how the weapons are received in the community. Reddit user Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo states:
Whenever we get a new weapon type, it feels less like a weapon type and more like a beta test. This is probably because they [Bungie] are never sure how the community will react. To avoid spending too many resources on full implementation, like sandbox additions, they are left in the dust like the sidearms.
Despite the community’s negative opinion, Bungie could still make many changes to make the glaives viable in the PvE meta. The Witch Queen is just beginning, and Bungie still has plenty of time to change the community’s opinions.
What do you think about the exotics? Do you also find them too weak? Or are they perfectly balanced and just need the right build? Or are you still waiting for the necessary weapons to drop from the Urquell? Let us know in the comments.

In FIFA 22, the new Title Update 7 has been announced. However, it seems quite small and brings hardly any new content or changes.
When is the update coming? Title Update 7 was announced on March 8th via Twitter. You can download it now for the PC version of FIFA 22 (via Twitter).
On consoles, players will likely have to wait for the new update. It usually takes a few days or even a week for new Title Updates to be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
Overall, the update isn’t very large either. The patch notes only list a few changes that will be implemented with Update 7 in FIFA 22.
What’s included in the new Title Update 7 for FIFA 22?
This is what the new update brings: The patch notes are extremely concise. Only three points made it onto the list:
A new animation for the skill move “Heel Chop” has been added.
Some player portraits have been updated. Which ones, however, are not yet known.
And a bug has been fixed where “EA Trax Audio” was playing over the sound of EATV videos, even when the video was viewed in fullscreen.
Currently, no further changes are planned. Neither the gameplay nor other aspects of the game will be adjusted with Title Update 7. Accordingly, players are surprised that this is even classified as a Title Update.
This is what players are saying: On Twitter, the first reactions to the update seem rather puzzled. Normally, the patch notes for Title Updates in FIFA 22 are quite extensive and address things like gameplay changes, new content, and more. User “Mitch” simply commented on the new patch notes with “Is that it?” (via Twitter).
Other players commented that they wished for better passing accuracy or bug fixes. Especially considering the new feature of “Live Tuning Updates” in FIFA 22, which allows for smaller adjustments, players are wondering why a Title Update was released for these changes.
“Why is this even an update,” asks user ‘Gurps’, “what happened to Live Tuning Updates? This doesn’t need to be classified as a Title Update” (via Twitter).
Are there changes you wish for in FIFA 22? Or are you satisfied with the current gameplay? Let us know in the comments!
Since yesterday, a roadmap for Lost Ark has been circulating online, which, however, contains outdated information that is therefore incorrect. We at MeinMMO explain what it’s all about.
What was that roadmap all about? The currently circulating roadmap for Lost Ark contains information about the upcoming content until June. Specifically, it mentions updates in March, April, and May. However, the information available there is outdated and incorrect.
The content plan showed new Guardian Raids, the continent of South Vern, Legion Raids, and Abyss Raids. The Destroyer and the Arcanist were also announced as the first two new classes in the roadmap.
The situation regarding the big March Update with new story and new raid is currently somewhat unclear. This was also part of the roadmap, but was already announced in a separate post beforehand. Currently, we assume that this update will be released as planned.
The PR from Amazon confirmed to MeinMMO that all information in the circulating roadmap is outdated.A new roadmap is expected to follow at an unspecified time.
How is Amazon responding? Last night, the official Twitter account of Lost Ark posted a message. It states that they are revising the current roadmap and adjusting it better to the players’ progress.
Amazon also apologizes for the delay and announces a more up-to-date roadmap that will follow after the March update. The same information can also be found in the Lost Ark forum, communicated by community manager Roxx.

What are the players saying? The false roadmap and Amazon’s statement currently dominate the forum and reddit. Many users, however, were rather less enthusiastic about the announced features and are now happy that something can still change.
Other fans, however, saw in the roadmap exactly what they wanted and are now worried that other classes or content might come first. The only thing everyone currently agrees on is that they do not find Amazon’s communication optimal.
Furthermore, the community seems united in wanting to invest more money. The biggest demand right now is for new skins and cosmetic content for Lost Ark, immediately followed by new classes. Especially the Lance Master is often requested.
What are the fans saying? Many fans on reddit are worried about the pace at which Amazon is releasing new content. This could also be one of the reasons why the roadmap is being adjusted afterwards.
imthedan writes: “People are not reaching T3 as quickly as [Amazon] hoped. I think Western players are not as hardcore as the Koreans and enjoy horizontal progression more and in detail. I can well imagine that more classes and new power passes are now coming to the forefront.”
Robin_Vie further speculates: “I think it has to do with the supposed reworks of the classes. The Destroyer was supposed to get a rework in Korea in April and then appear with us right after. Maybe something has shifted there.”
Drennet sees it differently: “Most people haven’t even played through the content that is there; new T3 stuff would be pointless. Just give us more skins and more classes.”
What do you think of the whole situation? Were you satisfied with the roadmap or are you more on the side of those who want different content? When do you think we can expect the current roadmap and what would change? Feel free to write it to us in the comments here at MeinMMO.
In Pokémon GO today, on March 8, 2022, there is a spotlight hour featuring Owei. Additionally, you can expect a special XP bonus when evolving Pokémon. We at MeinMMO will show you when the event starts, whether there are Shiny-Owei and if the event is worth it.
What is a spotlight hour? Every Tuesday evening, Pokémon GO highlights a specific Pokémon for one hour. You can then find this Pokémon almost everywhere in the game. Furthermore, the short event is rounded off with a special bonus.
Today, on March 8, 2022, you will encounter the Grass and Psychic Pokémon Owei during the spotlight hour. In addition, you will receive an XP bonus during the event.
Spotlight Hour with Owei – Start, Bonuses & Shiny
When does the spotlight hour start? As every Tuesday, the spotlight hour will also take place today starting at 6:00 PM local time. You then have one hour to catch as many Owei as possible and make the most of the bonus until the event ends at 7:00 PM.
Additionally, you will receive double experience points (XP) when evolving your monsters throughout the entire event.
Is there a Shiny Owei? Yes, you can catch a Shiny Owei with a bit of luck. You can recognize it by its golden-yellow body.
Owei and Kokowei each normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Is the spotlight hour with Owei worth it?
How strong is Owei? Owei belongs to the Grass and Psychic Pokémon of the 1st generation and can be evolved into Kokowei with the help of 50 candies. Owei is not particularly strong, and its evolution, which has a solid attack, plays rather a minor role in raids and PvP battles.
Is the spotlight hour worth it? The spotlight hour is particularly interesting today for Shiny hunters. If you are looking for a strong attacker for raids or the GO Battle League, you might not be happy with Owei.
For trainers who are still on the way to level 50, the XP bonus when evolving is worthwhile. If you were already planning to evolve some monsters, you should take the opportunity.
You receive double experience points for each monster. If you combine that with a lucky egg, you can double that again for 30 minutes.
Are you participating in the spotlight hour today? Or is that not really your thing and would you rather skip today? Feel free to share your opinion with us here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.
It took a long time, but World of Warcraft finally has a dance studio. Not quite as it was announced back then – but still quite funny.
There are a number of running gags in World of Warcraft that have persisted for years and now even decades. One of them was the implementation of a dance studio, which was originally intended for “Wrath of the Lich King”.
It only took six additional expansions to finally make this dream a reality. Because World of Warcraft now has a dance studio that you can get at the Darkmoon Faire.
How does the game work? As you walk through the fair almost to the end, a new tent has opened on the left side. In front of it, you’ll find the NPC Simon Sagan (Simon Sezdans), who lets you participate in a new game for tokens.
Basically, the mini-game is based on the game “Simon Says”, where you have to replicate the order shown exactly to get full points.
At the Darkmoon Faire, there is a new game.
In World of Warcraft, this is represented by different runes. Depending on the difficulty level, you have to dance back a different number of “pre-danced runes” in quick succession. This game repeats multiple times, and the more precise you are, the more points you get.
Your dance partner might, for example, indicate this combo: Blue – Purple – Blue – Yellow – Purple. After that, you have a few seconds to dance back exactly these runes in the same order.
What kind of dance studio is this? The original idea of a dance studio was that players could create their own dances for their characters. It was supposed to function almost like an additional character customization option but was ultimately discarded with the release of Wrath of the Lich King – just like some other features. It simply did not work as the developers had hoped.
Now there is at least a – albeit somewhat different – dance event in World of Warcraft.
You can only complete the achievements with a perfect score.
What does it bring? The mini-game is, like most activities at the Darkmoon Faire, associated with numerous achievements. At three different difficulty levels, you can dance for quite a while before you’ve collected all the achievements. To achieve the achievements, you need to complete the dance game 10 times at each difficulty with a perfect score.
In the end, as a reward, there’s even a “Darkmoon Dance Party” toy (“Dance Dance Darkmoon”), with which you can dance anywhere in the world! This means you now always have your “dance studio” with you.
When can you play the dance game? You can only play it when the Darkmoon Faire is open. This is usually from the 1st Sunday of the month until the following Saturday. So you still have time until March 12 if you want to get the achievements.
From now on, you can at least regularly dance at the Darkmoon Faire and even earn a dance studio toy while doing so. Unfortunately, the item is not yet classified as a “toy”, so it must be carried in your inventory.
Blizzard will certainly change this with one of the upcoming patches – after all, most of the other Darkmoon items have been converted into toys.
How do you like the dance game at the Darkmoon Faire?

Former LoL pro Doublelift has become an 8-time champion in the US league of League of Legends, the LCS. He is known for his massive ego and the legendary phrase: ‘Everyone else is trash.’ After a disastrous career ending, he is now a full-time streamer on Twitch. At 28, he is now planning a comeback as a pro, but he is not as self-assured as he used to be.
This is Doublelift:
The American Yilang ‘Doublelift’ Ping was a powerhouse in American LoL from 2011 to 2020. He won a total of 8 championship titles and received individual awards as MVP and Finals MVP. Alongside midlaner Bjergsen, Doublelift was the big star in the USA.
This is what Doublelift says: In a podcast, he says he feels the urge to compete again and prove himself:
I feel the urge. All the time. It’s romanticized in our heads. But it’s so satisfying. And it’s something I truly love.
Legendary ADC known for huge confidence and harsh remarks
How does he envision his return? Previously, Doublelift carried a massive ego, seeing himself as the greatest. He would say things like ‘Everyone else is trash’ or ‘If the world champion can do it, so can I.’
But this confidence is currently absent. Today he says:
If I were to say right now that I’m coming back and going to crush all ADCs in the LCS easily, I would be totally out of my mind. Of course, you need a lot of time to come back and develop your skills. Can I compete again? Sure, but there’s a caveat to that statement.
According to Doublelift, his old friend Bjergsen did it just right. He told his teammates: Guys, I was out for a year, I’m not going to be that good right now, but I promise you that I can become really good again. I just need time.
According to Doublelift, that is the ideal mindset for a comeback.
Bjergsen plays again in 2022 – Doublelift wants to follow him.
On the other hand, Bjergsen returned at 26 after a year off and things are going quite well. Team Liquid is behind Cloud9 in 2nd place in the league.
In any case, acquiring Doublelift would be a huge PR coup for a team, but to play an international role, it probably wouldn’t be enough.
Ironically, it could be his old team, TSM, that would probably need Doublelift the most. They completely fell apart after the departure of Doublelift and Bjergsen and are currently in last place in the LCS with a 2-9 record.
In Diablo 3, the new Season 26 can be tested on the PTR server starting Wednesday. The season temporarily brings back the old feature, Rift Trials, in a new and better version, and makes changes to the Greater Rifts. We present the new features and the previous patch notes of update 2.7.3.
What does the new Season 26 bring? The theme of the season is “Echoing Nightmare.” This is a new endgame activity that you can only enter with seasonal characters. You will face waves of monsters that you must defeat.
To enter the activity, you must obtain the item “Petrified Scream” from guardians in the Greater Rifts. You can then transform this in Kanai’s Cube to open a portal to the activity. Only one player in the group needs to have such a cube.
The waves will become stronger from round to round. There is also a time limit, so you lose if you do not defeat a wave quickly enough.
Rewards include experience points, legendary items, Blood Shards, Gems, and a brand new Legendary Gem: Whisper of Atonement. This can be used to upgrade old legendaries.
Additionally, the Greater Rifts are being overhauled. Three new maps are being added, while two will be removed in exchange. Furthermore, the probabilities of certain monster groups have been adjusted.
When will the new season be released? Season 26 and patch 2.7.3 will be released on March 10 on the test server. There you can test the new features until March 24.
The release of Season 26 is expected to take place in April.
Echoing Nightmare is a new version of Rift Trials
Does Echoing Nightmare sound familiar to me? Yes, a similar activity was already present in Diablo 3. In 2015, the so-called Rift Trials were introduced. Back then, you were supposed to face waves of monsters and survive as long as possible. However, neither the players nor Blizzard themselves were satisfied with it.
“The Trials are not good. We don’t like them. I don’t like them,” said Wyatt Cheng, Senior Technical Game Designer at Blizzard at the time (via reddit). After that, they were removed. With Season 26, they are now returning as a seasonal event.
Changes to the Greater Rifts and Items – Patch Notes
What exactly is changing with the Greater Rifts?
3 new maps are being added: Fields of Misery, Desolate Sands, and Briarthorn Cemetery
2 old maps are being removed: Sewers of Caldeum and Hidden Aqueducts
The probabilities of the maps have been adjusted
The probabilities of monster groups have been adjusted
Various monsters have been adjusted to grant more progress and XP
Players can talk to Orek to close an active Greater Rift. This option is only available in single-player mode
What is changing with the items?
Barbarian
Legacy of Raekor (4-piece bonus): The Furious Charge now gains the effect of every rune and deals 1,000% more damage. For every percent of health you are missing, Ancient Spear deals 2% more damage.
Legacy of Raekor (6-piece bonus): When you hit enemies with Furious Charge, the damage of your next Ancient Spear is increased by 5,500% and it releases multiple spears. This effect is stackable and consumed by each spear released. Only a maximum of 5 stacks can be consumed at the same time.
Arreat’s Law: Weapon Throw and Ancient Spear deal 150-200% increased damage
Weapon Throw generates up to 25 additional Fury stacks, depending on the distance of the hit enemy.
Ancient Spear returns up to 25 Fury, depending on the distance of the hit enemy.
The Three Hundredth Spear: Increases the damage of Weapon Throw and Ancient Spear by 150-200%.
Skular’s Salvation: Increases the damage of Ancient Spear by 150-200%. If your Ancient Spear – Boulder Toss hits 5 or fewer enemies, the damage is increased by 100%.
Crusader
Thorns of the Invoker: The attack speed of Punish and Slash is increased by 100% and deals 67,500% Thorns Damage.
Norvald’s Fervor: Increases damage by 200% while using Steed Charge and for 5 seconds after its end.
Monk
Bindings of the Lesser Gods: Enemies hit by your Cyclone Strike take 150-200% more damage from your Mystic Ally for 5 seconds.
What do you think about Season 26? Are you excited about the changes, or does the season not meet your expectations? Feel free to write it in the comments.
For those currently playing in Season 25 of Diablo 3, here are the best classes and builds:
In Lost Ark, you not only receive your own fortress with a house where you can engage in housing activities throughout the story, but you also get an entire island. But how do you even get there? We at MeinMMO explain it to you.
What is your island? Once you have unlocked it, your island with your fortress on it is available as a retreat for all your characters. But you can do more there than just hang out with your friends.
You can also craft healing potions, explore, mine resources, and even go hunting. Additionally, it is possible to decorate your entire island and add more buildings and items. So you can really make it cozy and even get some benefits out of it.
Furthermore, there is the Dispatch Station on your island from which you send your crew on self-built ships to complete tasks for you. They give you loot and can even replace your dailies.
How do you get to your island? For the first time, you arrive at your island and thus in your fortress right after you have unlocked it. This happens as soon as you have freed Luterra and King Thirain gifts it to you. Afterwards, you receive a tutorial quest that will lead you to your island for the first time.
To do this, you use the Song of Hearth and Home, which teleports you directly to your fortress at any time, allowing you to manage your island. You unlock this song for all characters on your account after completing this quest.
This is also important because you will no longer receive this quest with a second character. So you will not be shown how to enter your island anymore.
This song always brings you back to your island
How do you get other characters onto your island? You only need to play the Song of Hearth and Home, which you have unlocked for the entire roster. Additionally, you do not need to reach level 27 or Luterra with a new character; you can use it directly at level 10.
Just press F2, select the song, and press play. Just a few seconds later, your character will be on your island and can benefit from all its advantages.
How do you get to your fortress? In Lost Ark, “island” and “fortress” are two German words for the same thing. When the game refers to your fortress, it means your island. Strictly speaking, you could also refer to your fortress as your main house, which is located centrally in the middle of your island.
Elden Ring is considered, just like its spiritual successors, a tough nut to crack. The bosses are absolutely deadly, even normal enemies can send you packing with just one mistake. That’s why many players are proud of what they can achieve. However, Steam now shows that not that many gamers are so tough.
However, the reality for most players looks quite different. Steam indirectly tracks progress through achievements. These are earned for all sorts of feats, including defeating bosses.
Looking at the list of Elden Ring achievements on Steam, it can be seen that only about 54% of players have even passed the first boss (as of March 7, 2022):
54.3% of players have the achievement for defeating the shard bearer Godrick
between 1 and 3% of people have unlocked one of the endings of Elden Ring
at least 66.3% have defeated Margit, the so-called “first” boss for many, although he does not carry a shard

What about the PlayStation? Since the Soulsborne series is traditionally a controller game and at home on the PlayStation, the numbers here are also interesting. However, the trophies of the PSN do not paint a better picture of the elite players:
48.3% of players have the Godrick trophy on the PS5 (via PSNProfiles.com)
Elden Ring and Soulsborne Games – A Status Symbol
Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne are considered particularly difficult games. They fundamentally punish mistakes with death, and bosses often have a steep learning curve. Anyone playing them needs a high tolerance for frustration to avoid biting their controller.
Accordingly, those players who seem to find everything easy are celebrated. However, behind that often lies years of training, for which they are then celebrated. Or they provide laughter, when they flee from an insect in full concentration.
Whether one can really play Elden Ring wrong was also discussed by our experts in the MeinMMO Podcast:
However, as the numbers show, you shouldn’t be too proud to seek help. Besides the difficulty, Soulsborne games, especially Elden Ring, are famous for their story and worlds. There is much to discover, and it would be a shame to miss out on all of that just because you are too proud to use magic.
Especially as a “casual,” a little bit of help isn’t a bad idea. After all, even the absolute pros sometimes get stuck:
By completing special research and special tasks, you can battle Giovanni in Pokémon GO. But how do you defeat him and what are the best counters in 2022?
How to find Giovanni? The boss of Team GO Rocket appears through events in the game. To do this, you need to solve a special research or complete other quests to secure the Super Rocket Radar.
With this, you can then track down and challenge Giovanni. The battle will then proceed just like against the other Rocket bosses.
We updated this article on March 8, 2022, for you. We brought the guide up to date. His team has not changed since November.
How to defeat Giovanni in Pokémon GO in March 2022
What Pokémon does Giovanni have? Giovanni’s legendary Pokémon changes regularly. He battled with a Ho-Oh in June. However, he suddenly disappeared with the start of the new season.
After being switched out for a few weeks, he has now returned. Since November 9, 2021, his new team has been active. As a legendary Pokémon, there will be Crypto-Lugia.
His complete team looks as follows:
First Pokémon
Second Pokémon
Third Pokémon
Snorlax
Nidoking
Lugia
Kingler
Rhyhorn
These are important prerequisites: You should ideally align your team against Giovanni’s Pokémon. Snorlax and Lugia are always included by the boss. Therefore, you should always have suitable counters, which we have summarized for you using the overviews from Pokebattler (via pokebattler.com).
Moreover, Giovanni always uses his shields during your first two charged attacks. So initially, you should focus on fast charged attacks to lure out the shields.
How to counter Snorlax
Against Snorlax, one should use Lucario with Power-Up Punch. This attack can be executed very quickly, allowing you to take away both of Giovanni’s shields with his first Pokémon. Lucario is among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Alternatives to Lucario:
Tyranitar with Stone Edge and Crunch
Machamp with Counter and Cross Chop
Terrakion with Stone Edge and Rock Slide
If you want to use a Mega Evolution, then Mega-Gyarados with Bite and Aqua Tail would be a good choice.
How to counter Nidoking
The Poison and Ground type Pokémon is particularly weak against Psychic, Water, Ice, and Ground types. The best Pokémon here are:
Excadrill with Mud Shot and Drill Run
Empoleon with Waterfall and Hydro Pump
Jirachi with Confusion and Wish
Kyogre with Waterfall and Surf
For Mega Evolutions, you can use the following counters:
Mega-Gyarados with Waterfall and Aqua Tail
Mega-Latios with Confusion and Psychic
Mega-Blastoise with Water Gun and Hydro Pump
Mega-Gengar with Dark Pulse and Shadow Punch.
How to counter Kingler
The Water type Pokémon is weak against Grass and Electric types. So rely on such Pokémon. A good choice would be:
Grotle with Leaf Blade and Leaf Storm
Leafeon with Bullet Seed and Leaf Blade
Zarude with Vine Whip and Leaf Tornado
Palkia with Dragon Tail and Aqua Tail
Otherwise, you can also use the following Mega Evolutions:
Mega-Venusaur with Leaf Blade and Floral Healing
Mega-Ampharos with Volt Switch and Thunderbolt
Mega-Gyarados with Dragon Tail and Aqua Tail
Use Mega Evolutions to defeat Giovanni
How to counter Rhyhorn
Rhyhorn is a Ground and Rock type Pokémon. Therefore, you should use counters of Grass and Water types. It is also sensitive to Fighting, Steel, Ice, and Ground types. It is best to use the following counters:
(Crypto-) Torterra with Leaf Blade and Sandstorm
(Crypto-) Gyarados with Waterfall and Aqua Tail
Swampert with Mud Shot and Hydro Pump
Kyogre with Waterfall and Surf
For Mega Evolutions, the following counters are suitable:
Mega-Gyarados with Waterfall and Aqua Tail
Mega-Venusaur with Leaf Blade and Floral Healing
Mega-Latios with Leaf Blade and Meteorology
How to counter Lugia
Lugia is a legendary Psychic and Flying type Pokémon. Here, you should use Pokémon of the Rock, Dark, Electric, Ghost, and Ice types. A good choice would be the following Pokémon:
Pokémon
Moveset
Melmetal
Thunder Shock and Rock Slide
Zacian
Play Rough and Thunder Fang
Yveltal
Play Rough and Dark Pulse
Caesurio
Play Rough and Dark Pulse
(Crypto-) Magnezone
Spark and Thunder Fang
Regirock
Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
(Crypto-) Raikou
Thunder Shock and Thunder Fang
(Crypto-) Tyranitar
Stone Edge and Crunch

More good counters against Lugia can be found in our counter guide:
The battle against the Rocket bosses and the mechanics in the PvP mode are somewhat more complicated. Therefore, we provide you with some tips that will help you in battle and in the PvP League. This way, you can catch many special Crypto Pokémon in the future and expand your collection with more strong fighters.

The next expansion of World of Warcraft will be revealed soon. The developers have announced a fixed date for it.
In World of Warcraft, most players are currently experiencing Patch 9.2, the End of Eternity. But fans have long been craving the next expansion, which hopefully brings the heroes of Azeroth back home. Now Blizzard has released a roadmap for the coming weeks – and we also have the announcement of the next WoW expansion there!

When will the WoW addon be announced? That will happen on April 19, 2022 – so in about 6 weeks. Until then, a lot will happen in World of Warcraft, as there are still 1-2 cinematics awaiting players, the World-First race against the Jailer is coming up, and several chapters of the story campaign are still outstanding. There’s plenty of content to ease the wait until the announcement.
What kind of expansion will it be? So far, there are only speculations. Many supposed leaks and initial datamining suggest an addon focused on dragons. We have extensively presented a possible scenario for “The Dragon Isles”.
The coming weeks and months are likely to be a feast for Blizzard fans and will further fuel the anticipation for future content – if the developers manage to hit the nerve of the community.
Are you also looking forward to the announcements? What expansion would you like to see?

A 19-year-old woman reached out to the public on the internet for help: Her boyfriend would rather play Elden Ring than share affection with her. Many online can relate, saying they have also been neglected for Elden Ring. Men, however, seem to admire the young man’s steadfastness, as he is apparently “maidenless.”
What kind of post was that? Last week, a woman addressed the audience of a subreddit for “relationship advice.” She said she was 19, her boyfriend 22, they rarely find time to spend together and hadn’t exchanged affection in a month and a half.
But then there was an opportunity for a date, which was very nice, but when they went to his house, he only had eyes for a “new computer game” – she let him play for two hours, but then sought his company, yet he was completely engrossed in the game. When she offered him affection, he only said “Oh” and kept playing.
Ultimately, she wanted to give him a little more time, but then fell asleep at 2 AM without having cuddled at least once.
When she sought a conversation the next morning, he simply said it was “a new game.” She is now asking on Reddit if this behavior is normal. He is her first boyfriend, and she wonders if her expectations for a relationship are too high.

“I too have been neglected for Elden Ring recently”
These are the reactions: In the relationship subreddit, people immediately guess that the game must be Elden Ring. The 19-year-old confirms that. It is Elden Ring.
It is then said that the young woman’s situation is apparently widespread. Elden Ring is reportedly testing relationships worldwide:
A fellow sufferer says: “I too have been neglected for Elden Ring recently.”
Another regrets giving her husband Elden Ring.
A third says her husband is a gamer, but not someone who ignores the family. At least that was the case until he discovered the damn Elden Ring.
In the game, you are repeatedly referred to as “maidenless.”
In the relationship subreddit, some older people also chime in, who have been in a relationship for a while, where one partner likes to play. It’s noticeable that mutual understanding and consideration are crucial for a relationship to work.
A user says:
“These days, I don’t let the game dictate my whole life anymore. I play when it doesn’t bother my wife too much. Still, I now have 35 hours in Elden Ring and my sleep schedule is totally out of whack, but my wife doesn’t mind because I help her around the house.
How do gamers react? The story also spread to the subreddit for the game, Elden Ring. Here, people say that the 22-year-old behaves “absolutely maidenless.” The term “maidenless” keeps appearing as an insult in Elden Ring. The oddly archaic insult has developed into a meme in the community.
Overall, there is much understanding for the 22-year-old. Elden Ring is apparently so good and so all-consuming that one gives up quite a bit for it.
Our chief editor Leya also has a lot of love for Elden Ring:
A large hacking attack on Nvidia has resulted in many data being seized by hackers. Among them are certain certificates that could also pose a problem for many users. MeinMMO explains what this is all about and where you need to be careful.
What kind of hack is this? Nvidia became the victim of a ransomware attack a few days ago. According to reports from the group, data amounting to more than 1 TB were stolen from Nvidia’s servers. This includes information about the new graphics cards and other trade secrets.
The hack also resulted in code signatures falling into the hands of hackers. With this, these individuals could deploy malicious software and push this software onto unsuspecting users.
Malicious software could soon come with Nvidia signatures
What are these signatures? Developers give their software a certificate to make it fundamentally more secure. If you want to install a driver or other important software, Windows requires a certificate. If the certificate is not present, Windows refuses the installation or doesn’t even open the file at all.
Now here’s the problem: The hackers now have the ability, thanks to the hack, to supply software with an Nvidia certificate. Windows accepts the certificate and does not question where the software might originate. According to Techpowerup, there is already software in circulation with the forged certificate (via techpowerup.com).
This way, hackers can gain access to computers without users even noticing. These trojans, which can annoy you remotely, are also called Remote Access Trojans (RATs).
That’s why you should be careful: You could find fake Nvidia software on the internet in the future. If you are quickly looking for the right software or a user supposedly offers you the right download link, you should be cautious and always question such things, unless you already did so. Because the best protection on the internet is common sense.
Use the automatic update of GeForce Experience
This is how you can best protect yourself: The best way to protect yourself is to download the updates for your Nvidia software directly through the in-house tool “GeForce Experience”.
“GeForce Experience” is installed alongside the graphics driver unless you manually uninstalled the tool. You can use the tool to adjust your system’s performance for your games.
In addition, “GeForce Experience” offers you the option to automatically update your driver software. To do this, switch to the “Drivers” tab and then click the “Check for Updates” button. If there is new software for your graphics card, it will be automatically downloaded.
This is what happens if you’re not careful: You can also read on MeinMMO about what can happen if you use supposed software from the internet: Here, miners tried to circumvent the mining lock of the Nvidia graphics cards. But instead, the miners installed malicious software on their systems:

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is a standalone multiplayer from the acclaimed action hit and currently available through PS Plus at no additional cost. However, the title confuses the PlayStation Store on PS4 / PS5 and may lead to higher costs when fully purchasing the title – or the game becomes cheaper.
Some players, however, warn: The download prevents you from getting the PS5 version at a discounted price and may block the purchase of the Director’s Cut
In fact, the PlayStation Store is so confused that you can also get the Director’s Cut at a lower price
What can become more expensive?
On the discussion platform reddit, some players warn against downloading the multiplayer standalone of Ghost of Tsushima with PS Plus.
The available version is called Ghost of Tsushima: Legends and according to some players’ experiences on reddit, it seems that the “game licenses” do not favor this version (via reddit.com).
Players report that after purchasing the Legends version, they can no longer upgrade their PS4 version to the PS5 version at a discounted price.
Legends counts as ‘trial version’ and confuses the PS Store
This service is available for Ghost of Tsushima for owners of the PS4 version and it actually costs €10. An upgrade to the Director’s Cut is also no longer possible.
Then you would have to purchase the corresponding PS5 versions at full price to enjoy the polished versions.
The developers have already reacted to the error on Twitter and recommend contacting PlayStation Support (via twitter.com)
You may need to contact PlayStation Customer Support (or @AskPlayStation) and they can hopefully sort this out.
— Ghost of Tsushima 🎮 Legends in March PS+! (@SuckerPunchProd) March 1, 2022
Is there a solution to the problem? In the thread on reddit, some users also provide a solution, but you apparently need to involve PlayStation Support.
If you want the discounted upgrades, the PS Support can revoke the license for the multiplayer standalone and reset everything to the start.
After that, the PS5 upgrade and the ‘Director’s Cut’ edition can be purchased normally again.
If you have the desired upgrades, you can use Ghost of Tsushima: Legends without any issues.
What can become cheaper?
And it gets even better. We also looked at the Legends version in the PlayStation Store and found that the Director’s Cut becomes cheaper with the purchase.
This only applies if you do not own any version of Ghost of Tsushima at all.
Before activating the download, we would have needed to pay €79.99 for the Director’s Cut. With Ghost of Tsushima: Legends in the game library, suddenly €20 less was required – the PS Store only wants a flat rate of €60 for it.
Will it stay that way? Currently, no statement from PlayStation can be found on the matter. However, it is clearly a mistake and the PS Support is already aware of it.
If you have the problem, you can directly contact PlayStation Support (via playstation.com).
If you want to buy the game right now, then do the opposite and get the Legends version first before the action hit lands in your shopping cart to save a few euros.
MeinMMO has conducted an interview with the Creative Director of Dead by Daylight – after all, a real horror classic is coming into play with Ringu.
In Dead by Daylight, the release of the latest chapter “Sadako Rising” is imminent, which implements the Ringu franchise into Dead by Daylight – a true Japanese horror classic is thus entering the world of the Entity.
We at MeinMMO had the opportunity to conduct an interview with the Creative Director of Dead by Daylight, Dave Richard, on this occasion.
In the interview, much was discussed about the new killer Onryō, but also about criticism from the community and the question of whether it is not becoming increasingly difficult to create new killers and perks. Have fun with it.
MeinMMO:You have worked on several major horror franchises, such as Halloween and Stranger Things. Now, the Japanese horror classic Ringu will also be a part of Dead by Daylight. Can you explain how the cooperation with the franchise owner went? How much freedom does the DbD team have when working with characters like Sadako or Yoichi, in terms of story or powers of the characters?
Dave Richard: Adapting Ringu has been a big dream of ours for quite some time. We are excited to be able to work with the Japanese entertainment giant Kadokawa to bring this iconic franchise into our world.
When we integrate existing franchises, our goal is to implement the original characters in a way that respects the source material as much as possible while giving them the “Dead by Daylight touch” so that they fit perfectly into our game.
Throughout every step of this process, Kadokawa has ensured that we represent Japanese culture as accurately as possible. For example, with Sadako, we’ve adopted the way she stands and moves, the position of her arms, and so on – this is a bit different from what fans might know from the American adaptation of Ringu. In summary, we can say we were guided through the entire creation process while also having a lot of freedom.

Dead by Daylight: The ‘Ringu’ Killer Sadako crawls out of your TV – Trailer
When Dead by Daylight brings new characters from existing franchises, it usually takes them from the time of the films, but Yoichi has aged and several years have passed. This seems to be the first time this is happening in Dead by Daylight. Why are you doing this now?
Yes, you are right! Yoichi is the first licensed character for whom we’ve been given the freedom to develop his backstory and appearance.
Yoichi is the only character in all adaptations of the Ringu franchise who survived the torture by Sadako. Therefore, Yoichi was an obvious survivor for us and he offered us a pretty interesting path that we could explore. In addition, due to the nature of our game, we decided that all our survivors must be adults.
A lot of the inspiration you find in Yoichi’s backstory and traits – even his appearance – is either based on or at least inspired by his father and mother. Therefore, the survivor you see in our game is in a certain way a mix of three characters.
What is Ringu? Ringu is a Japanese horror franchise. In Europe, most people probably know the horror film “The Ring”, which is an American remake of the original Japanese film – the original “Ringu”. The story revolves around a video that kills its viewers within 7 days. The cursed girl, Sadako, whose face is usually covered with hair, is someone most people have likely heard of at some point.
This means that Dead by Daylight not only takes well-established characters but also adds story and shows new things that Ringu fans cannot get anywhere else. This not only expands a well-known horror franchise in terms of story but also in a new medium like a video game. How does it feel to be able to work on something like this? Is it a burden? A wonderful opportunity? A bit of both?
The fact that Kadokawa has allowed us to publish new story for these characters within a video game speaks clearly to the importance of this medium in today’s world and we feel honored by their trust.
I wouldn’t say that working on a big franchise is a burden, but the bigger the franchise, the higher the expectation from fans regarding quality, and so we need to make sure that we deliver something of the highest possible quality.
Can we expect to also get a book about Sadako and Yoichi, which will reveal even more story for both?
It’s still very early to say, but nothing is impossible! We released our first book, inspired by a licensed character, in January with SAW, and our fans were thrilled! We have definitely noted this enthusiasm.
The “SAW” monograph was very well received by the players.
In the last few years, Dead by Daylight has received many more story elements, especially through the Archive and sometimes through special events, like the “Hallowed Blight” event. Are there plans to further expand the story in the game, or will tomes remain the primary source for story in the foreseeable future?
We love letting the Dead by Daylight universe slowly progress and expand with each chapter and tome. From our early beginnings, where the story was mainly told through little snippets of add-ons and perks, we can now take the time and space to delve deeper into the characters through the Archive. Expanding the DbD universe is a core part of our game, and even though I can’t announce any fantastic new features today, it’s our goal to expand the universe through the tools we have today and maybe through some others in the future.
Many players like the Onryō, but there is also criticism of her powers. For some players, she feels like a mix of various existing killers: – Stealth like the Spirit – Teleportations like Freddy or the Demogorgon – Phase distortion like the Ghost – Alternative killing method with buildup, like Pyramid Head or The Pig Do you agree with these people? Or do you think she is clearly different from other killers?
If I may allow myself a culinary analogy here, the same ingredients can be used to create many highly different dishes. It is true that the Onryō may appear similar to other killers at first glance. But upon closer examination, you’ll see that her ‘ghost world’ abilities do not look or function like the Spirit’s stealth, that reacting to and using her television manifestations is completely different from the teleports of the Nightmare, or that her method of curse buildup is unique compared to other killers.
We can talk about similar mechanics, like how the Trapper and the Witch both use trap mechanics, but still play very differently. In summary, we believe that the gameplay as and against the Onryō represents a new experience.
The game is approaching the milestone of 30 killers – will it be more difficult to come up with new and unique powers or perks?
It won’t necessarily be more difficult, but yes, the gameplay space is a finite thing. However, we are still very far from having exhausted all possibilities. There are still many ways we can provide fans with more gameplay options. For example, adding the concept of blessing totems or scourge hooks allowed us to create new opportunities. Players who have been with us for a while know that we occasionally introduce new mechanics and thus new gameplay space, along with related powers and perks.
How much time passes between the first “Yes, we are doing Sadako” and the final design of her power?
Several months pass between the first decision to integrate a licensed universe into the game and the release. However, this really depends on the respective license; these are all unique stories. The actual development from pre-production to release typically takes three to five months, depending on the project.
While tomes are a good way to continue bringing story content for players who play the game for months or years, the amount of tomes is becoming overwhelming for new players or players with less time. These players struggle to even complete the current tome that grants cosmetic rewards, and so they never get around to tackling older tomes if they don’t want to miss out on rewards. The result is that these players never get to see and hear the older stories or they simply watch them on YouTube. Are there plans to make older tomes easier to complete so that one can tackle, for example, a current quest and one from an older book simultaneously?
The positive aspect of a live game is that we can adapt. Whether we’re talking about the situation you mentioned or a character that’s too strong or too weak, we are flexible to a certain degree. So when we reach a point where we believe certain content or processes are no longer adequate, we will rethink our approach. Our top goal is that our players have fun. If anything is particularly annoying, we’ll see if we can fix it.
The Onryō and the Spirit meet in the fog. Best killer friends or bitter rivals?
Haha, excellent question! Maybe we should ask the players?
When does the chapter release? The new chapter “Sadako Rising” will be released on Tuesday, March 8. From then on, you can drive your survivors into the curse as Sadako or try to escape the Onryō once again with Yoichi.
Are you looking forward to Sadako as the “Ringu killer”?

The action MMORPG Lost Ark has firmly caught the top streamer shroud in its claws. Since he got hooked, he can’t stop and has to grind his quests almost daily. By now, he regrets ever having installed Lost Ark.
I will play this game for the rest of my life. I have to do my dailies. When I wake up and know that I have daily tasks and they aren’t done, it really feels like … I should never have installed it. If only I’d never installed it! I should have stayed out there.
shroud sighs and groans heavily, and probably a bit self-deprecatingly. Nevertheless, it still sounds like shroud is quite addicted to the action MMORPG from Smilegate and Amazon.
Why is shroud suddenly so obsessed with Lost Ark? After shroud’s initial arguments against Lost Ark – he found it boring – this extreme focus seems rather bizarre. However, fundamentally, shroud primarily criticized the seemingly dull leveling phase. There wasn’t much for him to do and the grind was too boring even for shroud.
In the endgame, however, things seem to be different for him. He now appears to have found the necessary content diversity that he initially missed in Lost Ark.
How about you? Are you still actively playing Lost Ark or is the game already over for you? Let us know in the comments.
The Ash of War is a new feature in Elden Ring, which allows you to give your weapons new abilities and attributes. The Ash of War “Bloody Slash” has developed into a hidden gem within the community, many even find it OP. MeinMMO tells you how to find it.
What is Ash of War? While playing Elden Ring, you regularly collect new Ashes of War. You receive these as drops from specific bosses or from white-glowing scarabs.
With an Ash of War, you can equip your standard weapons with new, detached skills and change their attribute scaling. Standard weapons include all weapons that you can upgrade with ordinary smithing stones. Weapons that use dark smithing stones cannot use Ash of War.
How to use a weapon talent: Every weapon has a talent by default. For standard weapons, you can also swap this out with the Ash of War.
To use a weapon talent, you have 2 options:
Equip your weapon two-handed and then press L2 (PlayStation), LT (Xbox) or Shift + Right Mouse Button (PC)
Use a shield with the talent “No Talent” and press L2 (PlayStation), LT (Xbox) or Shift + Right Mouse Button (PC)
However, not every Ash of War can be equipped for every weapon type. Ashes of War that belong to the affinity “Heavy” only work with swords, axes, and hammers; Ashes with the affinity “Solid” only work with swords and spears.
Which Ash of War is the best? Clearly, among the best Ashes of War in the game is the Ash “Bloody Slash” – many also believe that it is far too strong and needs a nerf.
We tell you where to find it and why it’s so powerful.

Elden Ring: Finding the Ash of War Bloody Slash
Where to find the Ash of War? You can find Bloody Slash in the Haight Fortress. This is located at the eastern end of Limgrave. Thus, you can pick up this powerful Ash of War quite early.
In the Height Fortress, you must make your way to the top of the fortress wall. There a knight awaits you. Once you have defeated him, the Ash of War will be yours.
The Haight Fortress is not an exceptionally difficult task, so you should be able to handle the knight early in the game. Dodge his slow attacks and try to get behind him. This way, you can perform a very strong backstab attack and win the fight quickly.
However, you should still find the grace point near the fortress before venturing in. This is slightly hidden, located just west of the fortress. You can see the exact location on the map above.
What is the downside of the talent? The only real downside of the Bloody Slash is that you lose some HP when you use the attack. If you are not careful, you could end up killing yourself.
So you need to be more cautious, not to be too greedy with the high damage of the attack, and therefore risk too much.
However, with a strong talisman that you can also pick up very early in the game, this downside can be well compensated. This talisman passively heals you, allowing you to regain lost health points without using a potion.
What does the community think about the Ash of War? Whether on YouTube, reddit, or Twitter: Most users think that the Bloody Slash is too strong. However, not everyone necessarily has a problem with it.
In numerous posts on reddit and in the titles of many YouTube videos, fans say that this Ash of War is OP.
The reddit user NicolasCageDouble states that with it, most bosses would “melt away”.
In a YouTube comment, one says: “The Bloody Slash is the only reason I was able to defeat most bosses.”
Red_Blast says on reddit, therefore: “Just be quiet and let me enjoy my OP weapon talent.”
Whether FromSoftware sees it that way, and whether the Ash of War will get a nerf, is currently unclear. In the past, however, the developers have already toned down OP builds and combos in Dark Souls games.
If you want to take advantage of this power in time, you should quickly head to the Haight Fortress. How to properly use the map to find this location and every other one in the Lands Between, we will tell you here:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, strict regulations still exist in many countries. This is also the case in South Korea, which has now come up with a creative idea to properly welcome their newcomers. The block game Minecraft plays a significant role in this.
To comply with the Corona regulations, Yeungnam University in South Korea has come up with something great for new students.
Since only a limited number of people are allowed to gather in one place, the university invited its students to participate in an opening ceremony in Minecraft.
To celebrate the ceremony appropriately, older students helped create a suitable environment in the block game. Not everyone could participate, but those who could had a lot of fun, reported a helper.
This is how the ceremony was held: First, the newcomers were welcomed in a lecture hall with a speech, while all students lined up with their Minecraft figures at their seats.
In addition, a game was played where students had to answer questions with true or false. With a wrong answer, the ground beneath the figures disappeared. Those who remained at the end won.
But that was not all, as even fireworks were launched at the end and you could see the Minecraft figures happily bouncing around.
Not the first Minecraft ceremony: A Minecraft ceremony has already taken place at an elementary school in Japan due to Corona (via Gamerant). There, elementary students were farewell who were transitioning to a higher school.
Minecraft ensured that during dark times, students had at least a little experience of gathering and celebration instead of having to stay home alone.
What do you think of the arrangements made by the school and the university? Would you have celebrated something like this as well? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

In Pokémon GO there is currently a free battle ticket in the shop. It unlocks a limited research that promises stardust. However, the ticket becomes increasingly useless the more you play it.
What ticket is it about? In the Pokémon GO shop, there is currently a ticket themed “Battling” available. It is mainly aimed at PvP players and you can pick it up for free. So, it’s not entirely useless, as it gives you bonuses and costs nothing at all.
You will find the ticket among the paid accesses in the shop and can simply pick it up. However, keep in mind that it will take up a space in your inventory for the event duration of 3 months. So if you don’t play PvP at all, it would be better to skip the free ticket.
What does the ticket bring? It starts a research limited to three months called “Battling”. It presents you with new challenges and rewards you with stardust, although it may not necessarily be worth it.
Because while the tasks for each stage of the research double, the rewards unfortunately do not. On the first level, you still get a hefty 1,000 stardust extra for a win, but at level 4, you have to win eight times and only get 4,000 stardust for that.
Recommended editorial content

Why will the ticket soon not be worth it anymore? The requirements for you double with each level, while the gained stardust only increases by one thousand. A reddit user has found out that the rewards eventually become almost ridiculously low.
While you receive 1,000 stardust for the first win, after a total of 4,095 wins, you only get a meager 19 stardust per won match.
After 511 wins, you only receive 88 extra stardust per won match, which is less than you get for catching a Pokémon. You could say that the ticket is not worth it at least from level 9 onwards.
But that’s not all, you actually can’t complete the ticket.
What problem do the fans have? Most researches in Pokémon GO are actually meant to be completed. With the new battling research you get from the ticket, that is not possible at all.
Since the requirements for the next stage double each time and the limited research is only active for 3 months, you cannot complete stage 12. For that, you would need to win a total of 4,095 times.
Even with a win rate of 100%, that is not possible at all, because in 90 days you can play a maximum of 2,500 PvP matches. You can only reach that number if you play the full 75 matches possible on all 3 event days.
The second to last level of the battle ticket is statistically hardly achievable. It requires that you win at least 2,047 of the 2,500 matches. The 11,000 stardust for this achievement will therefore only be claimed by very few trainers.
Players are in conflict: While some say on reddit that it is absolutely fine that not every achievement is meant to be completed, other users are upset about it. Many also complain about the low bonuses, even though the ticket is free.
JJ3595 writes: “The stardust rewards are really a joke when compared to the time you would have to invest for them.”
Also, DRE is not very enthusiastic: “Stardust for free is great, but if you’re relatively good in terms of stardust, the daily time simply isn’t worth it. I wish I could delete the ticket again. I definitely won’t do this again.”
Others are more relaxed, as MarkusEF writes: “Everything above 1,023 total wins is almost impossible to complete. Since you cannot complete the entire research anyway, I’m not getting worked up about it.”
What do you think about the battle ticket? Are you actively playing PvP and happy about the free stardust, or would you prefer to delete the ticket from your inventory? Or did you not get the good piece at all because you don’t play PvP anyway? Please let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
