Several days ago, we wanted to know from our readers which of the missing 7 classes should be brought to the western version of Lost Ark first. One class is clearly in the lead, while places 2 to 5 are very close together.
A total of 4,949 people participated in the survey, and here are the results:
Lance Master – 976 votes (19.74 %)
Scouter – 858 votes (17.33 %)
Reaper – 858 votes (17.33 %)
Summoner – 756 votes (15.27 %)
Painter – 754 votes (15.24 %)
Destroyer – 387 votes (7.82 %)
Arcana – 360 votes (7.27 %)
The Lance Master in first place is not surprising. He is considered a strong and fun class in PvE and especially in PvP, where he works well as a counter against the powerful Deathblade and the Paladin. However, there are also some surprises in the survey.

Lost Ark delivers intense action with 15 classes – See here in the video what they look like
Summoner was very popular before release, only ranks 4th
What is noticeable about the survey? Lost Ark currently has very few mage classes in the western version. Anyone wanting to play a damage mage must play the Sorceress. The only alternative is the Bard, who is more of a support role.
Also surprising is the positioning of the Destroyer. He was mentioned multiple times in the comments on the survey. Our reader Scaver wrote:
First the Destroyer. Being able to swing a big hammer is just cool. Swords are boring.
Are you surprised by the result? Or does it reflect your expectations? And which class, that doesn’t yet exist in Korea, should Lost Ark definitely get? Feel free to write it in the comments.
As long as it takes until we get the first new class in the West, it shouldn’t be too long. The developers promised a new class every 2-3 months:
The Ogres already show how such a thing can look – but they are only a DLC. It is particularly annoying that we can already say exactly what is still to come.
We already know what is missing – and that bothers
Every Total War of the Warhammer trilogy has always had DLC factions. That’s nothing new. Warhammer 3 was even released with the Ogre Kingdoms as DLC for pre-orderers. However, the visible, unplayable factions in the game already show us what is still to come.
After all, these factions are already finished. And it has already been confirmed, that “Mortal Empires” will come – a large giant campaign that connects all 3 Warhammer parts. There, all factions from the other games should also be playable.
There are even leaks from the game data suggesting that Chaos Dwarfs will be the next faction. Admittedly, they are not in the game yet, but they are already in the game data. Just: why the Dwarfs and not one of the already existing factions?
What fans find particularly brazen about Total War is that blood is coming as DLC. Yes, you read that right: those who want bloody, brutal effects that actually belong to Warhammer have to pay. Unless you have previously purchased the blood DLC for other parts.
I personally love Skaven and once had the chance in co-op to control one of their armies as support. A wonderful feeling that only makes me mourn that they are not playable as a race. Because most factions already deal with them when I play.
In co-op, Total War: Warhammer 3 shows what it can really do – just not everything yet.
An MMO problem ruins Total War for me
Anyone wondering what the title actually means: This is all a problem for which particularly MMOs and MMORPGs are criticized. When players in MMOs notice that content is missing, they often become suspicious.
If an update or DLC is released shortly thereafter, which is ideally still paid, they get angry. Understandably, in my opinion. Who wants to pay for a game where something is obviously missing, which is then sold later for an additional fee?
Service games often pursue such strategies to be able to deliver content over a longer period. Often, work is already being done on content that will only come later, and as players, you usually notice nothing of it.
But it becomes particularly annoying when the content – as with Total War – is obviously already in the game. Just inaccessible. This often results in leaks. Apex Legends had similar problems with leaks.
The loot shooter Destiny 2 also had similar problems. Here, already known content from the first part was removed for the sequel and later brought back as DLC – such as the raid gear from Shadowkeep or the strikes from the Warmind DLC.
In many cases, it is difficult to say which content was intentionally not released and why. Fans often see the greed of the developers in wanting to charge money for such DLCs later.
Sometimes there is simply a lack of time to finish the respective content and implement it properly. Only Total War has already shown that the contents are there – just not accessible to me and not even if I pay for it.
“Balanced” reviews on Steam – but it’s still fun
Total War: Warhammer 3 was released for PC on Steam, Epic Store, and in the Microsoft Store directly in Xbox Game Pass for PC. The ratings, at least on Steam, amount to just 65% positive votes, which is merely “Balanced.”
The biggest criticism is technical deficiencies that were quickly fixed within a few days through hotfixes. However, even the praise shows that part of the players feel the same way I do. From SleepyCat, for example, it says: “Good game. Poor campaign. Waiting for Mortal Empires.” At least 952 people agree with that.
It bothers me immensely that I am directly shown what I want – but I cannot reach it. Damn it, just give me the factions that are already there! At least for skirmishes or something else. Actually a reason to wait for Mortal Empires.
So why do I still keep playing? On the one hand, I love Warhammer. On the other hand, Total War is still better than Age of Empires 4. In multiplayer, the campaign is a lot of fun. And as repetitive as the campaign is, I am still interested in the story of the factions.
They are just not as exciting as Skaven. But fortunately, I know that I can play them. Some day …
As soon as I no longer have the patience to push through Nurgle’s diseases and Slaanesh’s orgies, I will probably wait for the Mortal Empires. Until then, I will immerse myself in one of the other 12 best strategy games of 2022.

Would you buy a delicious cream puff, where the delicious cream filling is sold separately for an extra charge? Probably not. This is exactly how Total War: Warhammer 3 feels to MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus. He is disturbed by a huge problem that is otherwise criticized in MMOs.
Yes, you haven’t stumbled upon GameStar: MeinMMO is actually writing about Total War. We have several strategy nerds in the editorial team and have also taken a thorough look at the new Warhammer 3. I can already boast over 60 hours and still want more.
For those who don’t know the game: The Total War series is a mix of turn-based strategy, grand strategy, and real-time strategy. With one of many factions, you conquer land, complete tasks, and engage in huge battles for cities or fight skirmishes in real-time.
Together with Age of Empires, Civilization, and Co., Total War is considered one of the best strategy game series. The Warhammer trilogy takes place in the familiar fantasy setting of the epic. You play as vampires, greenskins, ratmen (Skaven), or – as in the new part – the dark gods of chaos. Part 3 was released on February 17, 2022, for PC.
As good as Total War may be, for example, in the test by the colleagues at GameStar, we couldn’t help but notice a flaw while playing. The new masterpiece has a tremendously annoying characteristic: it was released unfinished.
See the GameStar test in the video.
Total War: Warhammer 3 needs at least 5 more DLCs before it is complete
Total War: Warhammer 3 was released as a full-price title on February 17, 2022. The game was supposed to be complete and offers a (repetitive) campaign with 7 different factions.
Those who pre-ordered or played the game in the first few days through Xbox Game Pass get an 8th faction to choose from: the Ogre Kingdoms. In multiplayer, two additional campaigns are available with different objectives.
This may sound like a lot at first, but it does not hide the problem that something is simply missing. At the latest after the second playthrough of the campaign with two different chaos factions this becomes clear. The game is noticeably designed with the thought of bringing more factions.
Total War: Warhammer 3 is not complete. Players see fully developed factions that cannot be controlled. They are obviously there, and you can control them in co-op under certain conditions. However, they cannot be selected, and at least 5 of them are clearly finished and playable:
Vampires
Empire
Beastmen
Lizardmen
Skaven
Total War already has what is obviously missing in the game. There are contents that should actually already be in the game. I miss substance in the story, something that is truly different. Something that distinguishes from humans and chaos demons.
The Daemon Prince is already pretty cool …The Legion of Chaos unites the Chaos factions.Taste magic and gunpowder from Cathay!Of the 8 factions, 5 are quite similar – something is simply missing.
I even know exactly how they will play. Vampires and Empire were present in Part 1, Skaven in Part 2, and they are exactly what I would wish for in Warhammer 3 now. The predecessors were refined over the years, and that is currently missing. You can feel that.
In many cases, it is difficult to say which content was intentionally not released and why. Fans often see the greed of the developers in wanting to charge money for such DLCs later.
Sometimes there is simply a lack of time to finish the respective content and implement it properly. Only Total War has already shown that the contents are there – just not accessible to me and not even if I pay for it.

The MMORPG Tibia Online is known for incorporating puzzles that players have to chew on for a long time. At the end of February, a Spanish player managed to solve a puzzle that was introduced in July 2017. In the end, however, he stands directly in front of the next challenge.
What was this puzzle? The Summer Update 2017 introduced the Museum of Tibian Arts into the game. This is a place where strange things happen.
While the first floor looks like a normal museum, the statues come to life starting from the second level at night. The museum then turns into a kind of puzzle dungeon.
There is a skeleton that changed when you stepped on it
There are several mysterious skulls
There is a room with two thrones
Some monsters drop blood samples
For years, players could not figure out how all of this was connected. A Spaniard, along with his friends, has now solved the puzzle and was teleported to a new room where a demon and a chest were waiting. And a new puzzle.
You can watch the entire story on YouTube. The video was recorded in Spanish, but the English subtitles are good enough to follow the story:

A second skull remained undiscovered for a long time
Why did the solution take so long? Players quickly found out that they had to bring blood samples from monsters to a skull in the basement. There, they received a broken compass for a quest.
Although the puzzle dungeon appeared overall unsolved and there were clues pointing to further puzzles, players already left the museum with a reward.
Only now has the Spaniard discovered that there is a second skull next to one of the thrones. If you also provide this skull with a blood sample, the teleport occurs.
So what is the problem now? In the final chest of the puzzle, there is another blood sample. It is still unclear what this will be used for. Players have solved one puzzle but stand directly in front of the next one.
How do you find such puzzles? Should modern MMORPGs also focus more on hidden mechanics, or would you rather be annoyed by chewing on a puzzle for a long time?

Today, on March 5th, there is a battle day in Pokémon GO. The focus is on the Pokémon Jurob, which you can develop to learn exclusive attacks. However, the bonuses do not last all day, unlike the battle day.
What kind of event is this? In Pokémon GO the mid-season started on March 1st in PvP. It will remain active until June 1st and offers many content, from special cups to battle days. Three different battle days are planned. Today, on March 5th, the first one is taking place.
During a battle day, there are various bonuses. Today you will have guaranteed encounters with Jurob. If you evolve it within the event time, it can learn special attacks. However, there is an extra time window that you should keep in mind.
Event Overview – Special Jugong attacks are only available for three hours
When? The battle day runs from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM on March 5th. Special bonuses are available only from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Bonuses: Throughout the day, you can participate in 20 battle sets instead of just 5. In total, you can engage in 100 battles today.
If you complete a battle set today at any rank, you will unlock the Gladiator shoes for your avatar.
From 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM: The first victory reward in each battle set (standard battles) is a Pokémon encounter. The rewards for the second to fifth victories do not change.
In premium battles, all victory rewards are Pokémon encounters.
Jurob appears as a guaranteed Pokémon reward (can appear as shiny)
If you evolve Jurob into Jugong during this time, it will learn the fast attack Ice Shard
If you evolve Jurob into Jugong during this time, it will learn the charged attack Ice Storm
Which leagues are active? You can battle in the Super League and the Johto League.
If you want your Jugong to learn the special attacks, you must evolve Jurob between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Trainers from New Zealand pointed this out in the community. For them, the battle day had already started, and some players assumed that the bonuses would last all day. They were surprised after 2 PM to find that some bonuses were only active for a short time.

This is what Bungie has already communicated about changes:
The artifact mod “Suppressing Glaive” has been disabled in all activities until further notice.
If you encounter problems in the game, it is recommended to report them directly via the official Bungie Help Forum to make them aware.
Patch Notes for the Update in Destiny 2
What is in the patch notes? For today’s update, the patch notes are yet to be published. Traditionally, the information is released together with or shortly after the update itself. As soon as we have these, we will add them here as a link.
No patch notes are available for this update yet.
Bungie is currently actively collecting feedback on the latest expansion. Via Twitter, they frequently inquired about the “well-being” of the Guardians. They hope that players will express their wishes so the team can respond.
Players have taken this opportunity and not only addressed the issues encountered but also suggested further fine-tuning they wish for in the future:
Paul Tassi pointed out to Bungie that the many red frames around the new resonance weapons are driving him crazy. He wishes for a golden outline for fully formed weapons so he can distinguish them better.
Players miss one of the best weapon types in the new weapon crafting and have asked: “Why can’t we craft a single hand cannon?”
We hope this will be the last maintenance before the new raids, which start tomorrow at 7 PM. Do you find it unfortunate that Bungie has disabled certain items for the Day One raid? Do you think the new glaive mod is indeed too strong? Let us know your opinion in the comments.

Today, the vendor Xur returns in Destiny 2. He sells exotic items to the players on behalf of the Nine. MeinMMO recommends a visit and tells you what he has to offer on the first weekend of March.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? The Throne World is currently the top landing spot for all Guardians. The hidden secrets and quests there ensure that players enjoy roaming in Savathun’s garden. It is even more fun, when a mod makes everything explode.
If you want to know what is going on with Savathun and the Witness, you should also take a look at the raid launch this weekend. Even though Bungie has locked some items for it, the Guardians will unveil a further secret in the raid “The Oryx’s Curse”. It starts on March 5, that is Saturday, at 7 PM.
Many Guardians have rushed through the content at breakneck speed and have unashamedly exploited game bugs for it. Content creators have also ensured that these exploits spread rapidly, looking at their clicks.
All info about Xur on March 4, 2022 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur come? Xur visits Destiny 2 every Friday precisely at 6:00 PM. His offerings include exotics and he supports you in completing your exotic collection. On Tuesdays at 6:00 PM, he packs up again and chills until next week.
Where is Xur? This is his hideout for the weekend
Xur’s position: No one knows exactly where Xur lands. He has strange maps and routes, and we now believe he lets fate decide where he lands. This time, he is waiting for you in the Tower Hangar. We have marked his position on the map for you.
The Tower is in the Tower and awaits you.
Xur’s inventory from March 4 – March 8 – All exotics at a glance
What does Xur have to offer? Xur sells an exotic weapon and armor for all characters every week, so for Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans. This is his current offering until March 8.
Weapon: Merciless – Solar Fusion Rifle for 29 Legendary Shards
UPDATE: Bungie provides information on the issue with low armor values As Bungie announced today, March 5, the issue is currently being investigated where some armors from vendors have low overall values. Once details about a fix are available, players will be informed. Bungie also noted that this does not mean that Xur will have the highest stat rolls every week after the issue is resolved. They should be higher than 48 but. (via Twitter)
Titan: One-Eyed Mask – Void Helmet for 23 Legendary Shards
Instead of adding exotics from the removed season missions to the “Monument of Lost Lights,” the weapons will appear in Xur’s inventory every weekend since the launch of the new expansion Witch Queen.
Xur will offer you a unique roll for the exotics “Hawkmoon” and “Bequest of a Guardian,” which can be purchased by all players who own Beyond Light. We will also let you know in the future which perks he will offer.
Want the weapons? Then it will cost you:
1 Ascendant Shard
1 Exotic Code
125,000 Glimmer
200 Legendary Shards
The place for the elite – The Lighthouse
Trials of Osiris again from March 11
For all fans of the Trials, there are no news this weekend either. The 14th Saint continues to take care of Osiris, and that’s why there will probably be no Trials of Osiris. So there’s plenty of time to gild your “Unbroken” title in the normal Crucible.
When will the Trials return? As the community manager dmg04 said on Twitter, the Trials will not return until March 11. This is supposed to give players time to complete the Witch Queen campaign and make some power levels.
Are you ready for the raid? Or would you rather watch the Worlds First spectacle from afar? Feel free to leave us a comment.

The world of Lost Ark offers many different challenges for heroines and adventurers. Some try to complete achievements, while others want to maximize their character through fine-tuning. If you belong to the latter group, we have some tips for you.
What are these tips? This guide is aimed at players who want to take home the MVP (Most Valuable Player) title after a dungeon. Most of it is irrelevant for normal quests and exploring the world.
The article comes from our reader “Imperator” from the EU server “Thirain”. He has already reached a gear score of 1,330 in Tier 3 with his diligent progress guild “Empyrean” in the EU version.
However, some of the screenshots are from his account on the Russian server, where he had been previously active.
In this guide, we reveal tips to help you become the MVP.
1. This is how the equipment system works
Lost Ark distinguishes between:
6 pieces of equipment (helmet, chest armor, pants, gloves, shoulder armor, and weapon) in each of 25 item levels, which determine the base effects depending on the character class. Together, they result in the “level of equipment” or gear score (GS) or item level.
7 accessories (necklace, 2 * earrings, 2 * rings, ability stone, bracelet). The bracelet is only available from GS 1,490.
Each piece of equipment has a quality rating between 1 and 100, which greatly influences the granted bonus effects.
Additionally, the gear score is divided into 3 progress classes (Tiers). This is also the ticket to higher regions – Yorn only opens up at the end of T1, while Punika is only accessible at the end of T2. This ensures that in the highest possible region, items will always drop appropriate to your current gear score.
T1 (Tier 1 or Class 1) up to GS 600
T2 (Tier 2 or Class 2) up to GS 1,100
T3 (Tier 3 or Class 3) up to GS 1,575
Unlike many other MMOs, in Lost Ark players do not hope for a lucky item drop, but essentially, all players farm the same equipment. 10 skin slots determine the visual impression and also grant valuable virtue points.
All equipment pieces are available per progress class in 5 different ranks, ascending in power:
Uncommon (green)
Rare (blue)
Epic (purple)
Legendary (orange)
Relic (red).
For the higher ranks, you need reward tokens obtained in dungeons. In a grinder game like Lost Ark, you basically need patience, luck, or gold.
Comparison between two armor pieces.
2. General Tips for Equipment
Generally, the following applies:
A T2 blue piece is always better than a T1 purple piece.
To reach a new tier class, it is generally sufficient to upgrade all 6 equipment pieces to item level 15. However, the power of the purple and orange pieces is significantly better.
Additionally, there are class-dependent set bonuses with a certain number of set pieces. You can acquire these sets from the NPC “Abyss Trade” or “Abyss Equipment Crafting” for reward tokens from the dungeons. Which of the offered sets you choose depends primarily on your playstyle.
3. How to Get the Best Equipment
How do you get equipment? To obtain the best equipment, it is mainly worth running dungeons and guardian raids. However, each dungeon has a weekly visit limit. If you want to progress faster while collecting your sets, you should definitely buy the reward chest at the end for gold, as it always contains reward tokens.
When exchanging reward tokens, a new equipment piece is created, and its quality is determined randomly. For the purple T2 sword, the range of additional damage is between 5% (at quality 1) and 10% (at quality 100). So if you get an item with a quality below 80, you should immediately “dismantle” it in the inventory window to convert it back to original reward tokens and make a new attempt.
This way, you don’t lose any materials, and the fun only costs you a few small silver coins. You can only do this before you transfer the item level of the previously used equipment piece at the NPC “Equipment Enhancement”.
How do you enhance equipment? To make your equipment stronger, you need to use equipment enhancement. However, as the item level increases, the success rate continuously decreases. From item level 20, you can expect to spend between 60,000 and 150,000 gold for a single successful enhancement attempt (depending on luck).
The enormous element of luck – and the associated frustration factor during crafting in the late endgame is likely the Achilles’ heel in the long-term motivation of Lost Ark. Nevertheless, remember: during crafting, just don’t lose your nerve.
4. Buy a Strong Equipment Piece from the Marketplace
Many equipment pieces are soulbound and therefore not tradable. However, in the late endgame, with the orange T3 set (which you can obtain from gear score 1,340 only through countless Argos runs), you have the option to buy all pieces directly from the auction house for gold.
This way, you can easily acquire strong equipment.
In the auction house, you can buy a special set directly.
For each engraving, you can allocate up to 15 points (more does not provide any advantage) – there is a bonus at every 5, 10, and 15 points. There are also negative engravings, which are always displayed in red.
The points for these engravings come from engraving manuals (of which only 2 can be active at the same time), accessories, and the ability stone.
First, you should decide on a handful of engravings that fit your character class and playstyle. To do this, you can check the engraving overview with Alt+I to read about the different bonuses available. You can find a list of how to obtain the various engravings with our colleagues at Scentculture (via Scentculture).
Engravings play an important role.
Buying Engravings in the Auction House: If you don’t want to rely on luck, you can give it a boost yourself. To do this, do not go into the standard “market” activated in the auction house, but into the detailed search of the “Auction House” tab. There, you can search through all currently available equipment pieces for the needed engraving effects or preferred combat stats. Sort the results by quality and act fast.
For each acquisition in this tab, a certain number of Pheons fee is also due, depending on item level, in addition to the gold used. You can obtain these quite rarely in the game – thus, you should use this feature wisely.
Engraving manuals (books) are also available for purchase in the auction house. Naturally, it’s a supply-demand model, so the sought-after engravings quickly become quite pricey. Legendary (orange) books can cost up to 15,000 gold each, and you need 20 copies of the same item.
You can also buy ability stones in the auction house. However, their final usability only emerges after grinding them at the NPC “Ability Stone Mason” – which is a matter of luck.
This is how the detailed search in the auction house works.
Important Tip: You can even activate the same engraving manual twice – the points will also be doubled. Thus, it is also quite fast possible to bring the most important engraving to maximum level 3 even in T2 and thus reap significant bonuses.
6. Gems
At certain points in the endgame starting from level 50 (e.g., end boss rush), you can find gems. They are available in both T2 (all gems are blue) and T3 (all gems are orange) in 10 gem levels, categorized in the usual background colors: green, blue, purple, orange, and red.
There are essentially two different variants, each tied to a specific combat skill:
They either increase damage by a percentage depending on the gem level (these are the triangular ones)
They reduce the cooldown of the skill by a percentage depending on the gem level (these are the round ones)
At the NPC “Gem Expert”, you can randomly change the bound skill for a fee in silver. With increasing gem levels, this becomes increasingly expensive. In the late endgame, a change attempt costs more than 100,000 silver, and with 18 skills available, this is truly a lottery.
In your inventory, you can merge 3 gems of the same level into 1 gem of the next higher level using “Merge Gems”.
Important: The final version of the result is always random – you can merge two angular gems and one round gem and thus receive a round gem.
For higher-quality gems, the auction house is worth considering. Search for the appropriate gem through the detailed search and throw in some gold coins. Gems of level 7 cost about 1,000 gold.
From T2, gems also become important.
7. Understanding Combat Stats
Besides the base stats of the character such as attack power and health points, there are some combat stats whose deeper understanding can be quite helpful. You should adjust your investment in these points based on your preferred playstyle.
Critical hit chance
Specialization primarily affects class-specific combat skills, like how the Paladin increases the speed of piety growth
Mastery increases damage against impaired enemies
Swiftness increases attack and movement speed and reduces cooldown of your skills
Toughness increases defense, shield, and healing
Competence increases the duration and intensity of opponent debuffs (e.g., stumbles) and reduces your own received debuffs
The Roster Level: The progress of your roster experience will increase the main attributes of your character class and vitality at regular intervals, just like rewards through quests or collection tasks. Both make you stronger and more efficient.
The most popular Twitch clip of the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov is a short video where Bobuubi concludes a 9-hour stream. It shows the last minute before he leaves a bunker in eastern Ukraine and no one really knows what will happen next.
Trigger warning: This news is about a streamer in the war zone of Ukraine and his escape. It shows images of him saying goodbye to the viewers before a journey into the unknown. Some viewers describe these images as “heartbreaking” or as a “nightmare”.The content of this article may cause distress for some.
This is Bobuubi’s special situation: The Twitch streamer Bobuubi (or simply “Bob”) typically streams in front of 16 viewers, but he is in an extraordinary situation, as he describes (via tarkov.academy).
The Polish native wanted to build a life in eastern Ukraine. He established a family there, found a wife, and had two daughters. Back then, he thought the already ongoing war in eastern Ukraine would be over quickly and that he could build a good life there. But things only got worse.
With the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, his company went bankrupt. To avoid becoming depressed, he turned to the hardcore shooter “Escape from Tarkov”. Friends persuaded him to stream full-time on Twitch to support his family. He saw no other alternative in his situation.
“Bob” streams his favorite shooter in a rustic setting:
Bob did not want to stream from home to avoid disturbing the children but streamed from a military bunker where he brought supplies for a few days. He aimed to build a career as a Twitch streamer in a “authentic environment”. “Escape from Tarkov” is a Russian shooter that emphasizes realism and a brutally harsh scenario.
He hoped that the special atmosphere would attract viewers: He is streaming from a “real hideout” and fights for the “survival of his family”. However, he hasn’t had much success with this approach on Twitch in the two years he has been streaming. In 2021, Bob was seen for 3,700 hours, but on average only had 17 viewers.
This clip is now being viewed by so many: On February 23, Bob started a stream from his bunker that was intended to last 9 hours.
The stream ends with a passage that went around the world as a Twitch “clip”. The streamer tearfully says goodbye to his friends. It is clear that he wants to flee with his family at least from the worst crisis area and travel abroad.
He thanks his friends and viewers through tears for what they have done for him and then says:
“I just hope that it doesn’t spread to everyone from here.”

The clip has now received 230,000 views – making it by far the largest clip of Escape from Tarkov in the last 30 days.
The clip has received 26,700 upvotes on reddit/livestreamfails. This is usually a tough community that holds nothing sacred. But the clip has moved many. The life story of “Bob”, that he streams from a bunker because it’s the only way to provide for his family, impresses many.
People say it breaks their hearts to see it. It’s a “damn nightmare”.
He writes that he fled with his wife and daughters to a village with a friendly family of strangers who served them a home-cooked meal. He is overwhelmed by the love they are shown.
The title image comes from a YouTube video by the streamer.
Especially hard: At the time the clip went around the world, no one knew what would happen to the streamer after the stream ended. He had not been on air for days.

How is the streamer doing today? Bob has shared his recent days with his family through Twitter and Instagram. Apparently, everything has gone well. Although still in Ukraine, they are “closer to the border”: He shares images of his children playing with a dog.

Mood after the trailer: After YouTube’s changes, it’s hard to tell how the trailer is received in the community now. However, just one day after the release on September 10, there were about 12,500 likes against 21,000 dislikes with 346,000 views.
In the meantime, there are about 37,000 likes with almost 3.2 million views on the trailer on PlayStation’s YouTube channel
and about 65,000 likes on the trailer with 3.8 million views on Rockstar Games’ YouTube channel (as of January 12, 2022)
Players have already expressed criticism regarding the release, stating that the graphics hardly differ from the PS4 version. Many comments say that the video is disappointing.
3 different graphic modes on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
These are the modes: You can choose between three graphic modes on the new story version of Grand Theft Auto V.
Fidelity Mode – Here you get the best graphics with a target of 30 FPS. In this mode, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X support native 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled. The Xbox Series S supports a upscaled 4K resolution.
Performance Mode – Here you likely play the smoothest with a target of 60 FPS. The PS5 and the Xbox Series X support an upscaled 4K resolution. The Xbox Series S uses 1080p.
Performance RT Mode – This mode is only available for PS5 and Xbox Series X. It is a mix of fidelity and performance, providing an upscaled 4K resolution with a target of 60 FPS.
What changes does the new version bring to GTA 5 and GTA Online?
The technical improvements include:
A resolution of up to 4K and up to 60 FPS
Texture and visibility improvements
HDR options
Ray tracing
Faster loading times
Immersive 3D audio
Platform-specific features like improved haptic feedback for PS5 players
What changes in GTA Online? If you play GTA Online on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, you can now skip the prologue of the GTAV story mode for the first time. Additionally, there is a completely new tutorial in GTA Online. Players who are new to GTA Online can choose one of four criminal paths directly in the Career Builder: Biker, Executive, Nightclub Owner, or Arms Smuggler. These are all criminal paths that already exist in current GTA Online. Rockstar Games makes it easier for new players to get established and earn a lot of money quickly. But returning players can also create a new character and then use the Career Builder.
The new auto shop Hao’s Special Works is also part of the improvements for GTA Online. You can find it at the LS Car Meet. There you can performance-tune five new and five existing vehicles that “fully utilize the stronger console hardware.” How exactly this will show in the performance of the vehicles is unclear.
Hao’s workshop: New in GTA Online with the new versions is “Hao’s Special Works.” Here you should get the best tuning for your vehicles. There will also be new race classes where modified vehicles compete. Additionally, there will be a weekly rotation of time trials, along with a premium test drive where you can try out the new modified vehicles.
This is what Rockstar Games says: The new versions are supposed to bring technical and graphical improvements. There will also be performance boosts for selected vehicles in GTA Online. How exactly the vehicles will change is unclear.
Rockstar Games postponed the release of the new version to further polish the game and give it the final touches.
Appropriately for the release, GTA Online will also be available in March as a standalone version for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is still no concrete release date for this. It is only clear that the standalone version will be free for PS5 three months after its release. You do not need the base version of GTA 5 to play GTA Online.
For PC players: The improvements for GTA Online will likely be received by PC players just like the versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No further details are known yet.
Character transfer
Can I transfer characters from PS4 and Xbox One? Yes. Players coming from PS4 and Xbox One can transfer their story progress from GTAV and their character and game progress from GTA Online once to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Update from March 4: From today, you can start transferring your story progress by uploading a save file to the Rockstar Games Social Club.
How does this work? Open GTA V on your current console and go to the “Game” tab in the pause menu. There, use the option to upload your save file. You can only save one save file per platform. You can then download it for up to 90 days.
You can also bring your progress from GTA Online to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. You just need to start the game on the new console. You will then take all characters, your GTA Dollars, progress, stats, vehicles, properties, weapons, clothing, and player-created jobs with you.

In Destiny 2, it has become a hobby for players to find methods in the game to exploit bugs ruthlessly. What is called an exploit in other games is euphemistically referred to as “Cheese” in Destiny: An exploit in the new expansion “Destiny 2: The Witch Queen” has been circulating on YouTube since 24.02. and has been ruthlessly exploited to farm loot and reputation.
What is Cheese? Destiny has a long tradition of players figuring out how to exploit bugs in the game to fill their pockets with minimal effort, and Bungie eventually finds out and – much too late – does something about it:
Legendary is the “Loot Cave,” where players farmed mobs at a spawn point that seemed to come infinitely as long as no one took a step too far forward.
Later, tricks to kill strong bosses without them being able to defend themselves spread continuously. Notoriously, there was an exploit where a player had to pull the LAN cable, causing a boss to freeze and be easily slaughtered.
These exploits spread rapidly through certain YouTube channels within a few days. The downside of such exploits is that players finish Destiny 2 too quickly and then impatiently wait for more content.
Start video
Everything you need to know about Destiny 2: The Witch Queen – in 2 minutes
Just 2 days after the release of the expansion, the trick went viral
This was the latest exploit: It’s about the new Throne World in Destiny 2: Witch Queen. There is a possibility to farm chests to gain reputation and items.
On 24.02., just 2 days after the release of Witch Queen, the YouTuber KackisHD published a detailed guide on how to exploit this trick to the maximum. KackisHD is known for such videos where “INSANE” is often in the title.

Normally, players should find only a few of these chests.
However, due to the trick, it was possible to reset certain zones repeatedly and ruthlessly exploit the loot route by zipping through the zones like an acrobat.
Thus, players could maximize their reputation in the Throne World and grab many items in a short time.
As one knows from Destiny 2, other content creators also had the idea to spread the trick in their own variations.
Just the video from KackisHD has over 218,000 views and enthusiastic comments.
“Destiny 2 Finch Farm” is such a popular keyword that countless videos from various content creators can be found on it. German YouTubers also like to pick up such guides a few days later.

Typically, levelling the Throne World rank with the new NPC vendor Fynch goes significantly slower. Overall, there are 30 ranks in the Throne World, and for each rank, you need 1000 reputation points.
Opening chests grants you +20 to your Throne World rank with Fynch.
Daily bounties grant +50 rank points.
Additional bounties from Fynch grant +20 rank points.
Completing a Lost Sector gives +70 rank points.
Repeating the campaign nets +125 rank points.
“Altars of Reflection” and Urquell runs also grant +125 rank points.
Public events grant +130 rank points.
However, due to the chest trick, which granted +200 reputation points each time, players were already finished levelling their rank in a very short time.
We at MeinMMO generally refrain from publishing such exploits with “how-to” guides. But this has never significantly limited the spread of such tricks.
After about a week, Bungie reacts and simply disables everything
This is how Bungie reacts: They fixed it in a hotfix yesterday after a few days delay. They completely shut down the chest because it was “being opened significantly faster” than intended for reputation gain.
What else Bungie tackled in the hotfix, you can read here:
The “Iron Trials” are back in Call of Duty: Warzone – this time on the small map Rebirth Island. The rules are tougher, the fights longer, and MeinMMO shows you rules and tips for the hardest game mode in Warzone.
With the playlist update on March 3, the Iron Trials returned to Call of Duty: Warzone. The mode was already available for a few weeks on the old map Verdansk ’84 and was very popular there.
Players have higher health, headshots with sniper weapons are less effective, no free loadouts – those who want to survive here need “iron” nerves and must adapt to the new rules.
MeinMMO shows you here the modified rules and gives tips on what you should pay attention to compared to the normal battle royale:
The Iron Trials take place on Rebirth Island and can be played as “duos”. The mode will remain in the playlist until March 17 at 7 PM.
The basic rules correspond to a normal battle royale in Warzone, including Gulag and shrinking play area.
However, there are significant adjustments beyond the basic rules that change the game dynamics and combat:
Match time and play area circle
Compared to normal Rebirth Island, the circles last longer and the overall playtime has increased.
Loadouts
There are no free loadouts – if you want your weapons, you have to buy the box yourself.
Vehicles
There are only ATVs (quads).
Buy station increased prices
Armor bundle: 2,000
Gas mask: 4,000
Cluster: 4,000
Precision airstrike: 4,500
Self-revive: 5,000
Drone: 6,000
Loadout: 10,000
Specialist bonus: 30,000
Cash
Instead of keeping 20%, killed operators keep 30% of the cash.
Base health
Instead of 100, you have 250 health.
Healing starts after 7 seconds instead of 5.
Per second, you heal 40 health instead of 120.
Start equipment
Magnum and sawtooth (melee).
Loot pool
Ground and crate loot significantly adjusted.
Normal (gray) weapons
Normal weapons already have an attachment – usually a larger magazine.
Epic (purple) and Legendary (orange) weapons
High-tier weapons are more difficult to find.
Killstreaks
Are much rarer to find.
Cash spawns
Large piles of cash are significantly rarer.
Field upgrades
No “Dead Silence”, no “Special Ammunition”.
Sniper rifles
Headshots are only lethal within 30 meters.
Stun grenades
The stun lasts only half as long.
Stims
Healing is slowed down by 50%.
If you take damage, you only have normal health regeneration.
The adjustments result in a higher overall time-to-kill – even with sniper rifles and headshots. Movement, accuracy, stamina – while you have a better chance of surviving a short firefight, you must also put more pressure on your opponents.
CoD Warzone: Iron Trials Tips
In addition to the rules, we also want to give you a few small tips for your first rounds in the Iron Trials on Rebirth Island.
You will find here a selection of strong weapons and what you should pay attention to with your firearms. Additionally, recommendations for perks and a few thoughts on playstyle.
Weapons – Large magazines with substantial damage
Stable and accurate weapons are even more important in the Iron Trials than in the normal modes. You need to keep your enemies under fire longer, and the time-to-kill at range often exceeds one second.
So look for guns with large magazines, high damage per shot, and strong stability. However, you will have to make more compromises because something is always missing.
We have selected a strong selection for you:
Primary
Vanguard: Bren / MG42
Cold War: Stoner / AK-47
CoD MW: PKM / Bruen
Secondary
Vanguard: PPSh / Owen Gun
Cold War: AK-74u / Bullfrog
CoD MW: Bizon / MP7
Currently, Vanguard weapons are very popular and strong in Warzone. It’s best to choose one of the newer weapons. However, you can also succeed with the old CoD weapons.
Due to the large amount of health points and the long time before regeneration starts, the perk “Fixer” becomes central, while “Ghost” plays almost no role in the current meta:
Blue: Fixer / KRD
Red: Overkill / Fill Up / Points Friend
Yellow: Eager / Tracker
If you acquire an expensive loadout, you should always go for “Overkill” to have 2 adjusted weapons in the game. If you find a strong ground loot weapon, feel free to use “Points Friend” – it grants you more of the scarce cash upon mission completions.
For the yellow perk, “Eager” is very popular. The boost when switching weapons feels very pleasant. However, since enemies can often flee, “Tracker” can also be beneficial for you.
Playstyle – Easier to flee, harder to kill
Higher time-to-kill: Unless you receive a sniper headshot from 30 meters away, your high health points almost always allow you to react to gunfire.
Players with good movement are clearly at an advantage here, and the use of cover is extremely important. Overall, the pace of fights decreases, leading to prolonged engagements.
Therefore, be a bit more patient, coordinate more with your duo partner, and stay together as much as possible. Together, you have 800 health points including armor.
Less cash: Discuss beforehand what you want to buy with the scarce cash. Solo runs during shopping trips can be a significant disadvantage.
Weaker sniper weapons: Be more cautious during your advances, but not in terms of reconnaissance. Look over cover often and be aware of where the enemy is.
In the Iron Trials, you need to be much less afraid that a sniper will take you out of the match immediately.
Conversely: Plan your sniper shots better. Use a ping to check how far you are from an enemy beforehand. If the enemy is 40 meters away – try to get closer to 30 meters.
No free loadouts: The free loadouts on Rebirth Island have always been a mixed bag – they often land too far away to be accessed safely.
In the Iron Trials, however, your own weapons make a huge difference, especially at range. Be stingy, save for the loadout, or grab weapons from fallen enemies.
Whatever you do: Make sure to find a stable weapon with a large magazine for your match.
The Iron Trials are considered a kind of hard or ranked mode in Warzone. Those who survive here can pat themselves on the back – and even receive a special calling card.
If you have any tips for the trials, feel free to share them with us in the comments.
Asmongold has ventured into the latest WoW raid – but it was too difficult for him. He prefers to play Elden Ring instead, which seems to be more enjoyable.
In World of Warcraft, the first part of the raid “Mausoleum of the First” has been available for a few days. Many players are flocking into the raid on normal and heroic difficulty, which rewards a controversial cinematic at the end. However, some groups are struggling to get far – as the raid is exceptionally tough.
A similar fate befalls the streamer Asmongold. The raid apparently proved to be too challenging and not relevant enough for him, so he preferred to play Elden Ring.
Start video
Career and life of Asmongold in 3 minutes – What makes him special?
Who is Asmongold? Asmongold was for a long time the biggest WoW streamer overall, but also always a great critic of the game. In recent months, he has dedicated himself to many other games, including Final Fantasy XIV, Lost Ark or even Elden Ring.
What happened? Coinciding with the launch of the raid “Mausoleum of the First”, Asmongold ventured into the raid on normal difficulty. However, the raid evening was rather bumpy. After several desperate attempts at the boss Halondrus, Asmongold’s motivation hit a low point. Like his chat, he preferred to play Elden Ring instead of continuing with World of Warcraft.

If you want to hear the honest truth: I hate raiding. I really hate raiding. I hate having to rely on other people, and I hate that these people have to rely on me. I like to play for myself or in a small group. I hate it when a ‘Longshot’ [random player name in his group] dies, and […] then it’s just over. Okay, great. I didn’t do anything wrong, but I still have to do it again. And then you run all the way back to the boss, and everyone has to buff again.
[…] It has always been like this, and it didn’t bother me before. I just lose my patience for it immediately.
Asmongold then ended the WoW session for the evening and instead played Elden Ring, a game he apparently enjoys more at the moment.
The next day, Asmongold clarified in another video that he is not satisfied with the difficulty of the raid either.
I believe that WoW raids have simply become too difficult for the average player, it’s just too much.
[…] Again, I can do this, that’s fine. I’ve done all the Mythic fights up to Battle for Azeroth. Really, it’s not that I can’t do this stuff; it’s more that I don’t want to.
With that, Asmongold refers to the fact that he primarily does not want to invest the time that high-difficulty raids require. Because in World of Warcraft, most bosses require a lot of practice until tactics are internalized and refined, and every member of the group can play the fights flawlessly – in addition to the necessary performance, be it for DPS or healing.
The Mausoleum of the First proves to be challenging.
However, another problem for Asmongold is the lack of motivation. Gear no longer entices him since he knows that he will soon lose it again:
I believe that’s really another problem with the game; it doesn’t interest me at all whether I get new gear because I know it will just be replaced by something I find in the open world in the next patch.

Will the raid remain this hard? Blizzard has already made some nerfs in the past few days, and more are sure to follow. However, there is also the certainty that all characters will become even stronger in the upcoming weeks. There will be new tier sets with strong bonuses, and soon everyone can wear two legendary items simultaneously. That should significantly improve the performance of all characters, whether DPS, healer, or tank, and make currently seemingly insurmountable obstacles manageable.
Have you mastered the raid yet? Or do you see it like Asmongold, having no desire right now, or find the mausoleum too difficult?

Currently, there is a really strong special card in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team that plays a magnificent role in the CAM position and offers incredible stats. We show you the new card of Hany Mukhtar.
What kind of card is this? Hany Mukhtar is a former Bundesliga player who was under contract with Hertha BSC from 2012 to 2014 but did not make his breakthrough in the German top tier. He currently plays for Nashville SC in the USA and impresses with fantastic performances.
EA has now given the German attacking player a Squad Foundations card, and it’s really something special and relatively inexpensive.
This is why Mukhtar’s special card is so strong
This is what the card can do: The new special card of Hany Mukhtar is a CAM that every FUT player could wish for. He is really fast, strong in finishing, has outstanding dribbling stats (99 agility and 99 balance), as well as a physique that allows him to take on strong defenders.
Additionally, he has 4-star skill moves and 5-star weak foot, enhancing his already strong shooting stats significantly. If you apply the “Marksman chemistry style”, you get an absolutely dangerous CAM with incredible dribbling values and a strong physique, which only a few attacking players possess.
Many teams, however, might not find Mukhtar fitting due to his association with the MLS, but FUT players with Bundesliga teams are in luck. Thanks to his German nationality, Mukhtar should fit well into teams with Bundesliga players.
This is how expensive Mukhtar is: To include Mukhtar in your team, you need to complete a SBC (Squad Building Challenge) that costs about 55,000 coins. A real bargain, considering the extremely strong stats.
Is this card worth it? If Hany Mukhtar fits in your team, you should definitely get him. It’s rare to find such a good attacking midfielder for such a price and with such excellent stats. With this card, goals, assists, and strong dribbling should be guaranteed.
What do you think of the new special card of Hany Mukhtar? Are you bringing him into your team? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

As in its predecessor, you can also discover safes in Dying Light 2, which contain rare resources and more. MeinMMO reveals where you can find the safes and which combinations you need to open them.
Update, March 4, 2022: We have added new safes and codes. Thanks to all community members for the help!
What are safes? You can find the small lockers scattered all over the world of Dying Light 2. In them, you discover useful and rare items such as inhibitors or even powerful throwing weapons like grenades.
Safes can also contain collectibles such as tape recordings. Most safes can be discovered during a quest by taking a small detour. However, some are simply hidden in buildings. To open them, you first need the appropriate code.
Where can I find the safes? There are several locations on the map where safes are located, both in Old Villedor and in the Central Loop. You will always find them in houses, usually quite obviously on desks, which are often slightly off to the side.
All locations can be found here on the map:
All locations of the safes. Blank map via Gamesradar
Keep in mind that you usually need to enter one of the shown houses. If you don’t find anything right away, use your survival sense and look for containers nearby. The entrances are not always on the street, but may also be on roofs or require you to climb through windows.
List of all combinations for the safes in Dying Light 2
How do I find the codes? If you want to solve it yourself, you can usually find the clues to the combinations close by.
Talk to NPCs or examine your surroundings closely, then you usually find clues or even the codes directly. Alternatively, you can find here the codes for every known safe so far:

Everything you need to know about the new survival game Dying Light 2 – with gameplay
How do I enter the code? The safes are equipped with rotary locks, which means they have a different mechanism than you might know from combination locks or lockpicks. You need to turn the rotary lock in one direction and set it to the individual numbers.
Each number must be set one after the other and then confirmed. The order of input does not matter. If you have entered the correct combination, you can open the safe and take out its contents.
It is likely that more secrets and possibly additional safes will come to Dying Light 2 in the future. The developers have already released a roadmap for the next 5 years:
The new TWaB from Destiny 2 has been released, and players can look forward to hard facts about the new raid as well as positive announcements regarding existing issues. We will show you what Bungie has communicated.
What has been released? On the evening from Thursday to Friday, Bungie usually releases their highly anticipated TWaB. This blog post contains a lot of new information about what the development team is working on, what will be revised next, and what players can expect.
New information about the raid, as well as many adjustments regarding activities and crafting, has now been predicted. We will show them all to you.
Better loot drop for the Urquell
New activity with issues
What was the problem?Players complained that a certain weapon did not drop in the 6-player activity. They farmed for hours, but not a single copy of the automatic rifle “Event” dropped. Players protested and said that something is wrong with the drop rate. Therefore, Bungie looked into it and announced soon adjustments.
What will be changed? Bungie acknowledged that the drop rate was not quite right and is scheduling a new patch on Thursday, March 10, 2022.
There, the drop chance for standard or deep sight weapons will be significantly increased. You will also receive the increased chance to obtain Ascendant alloys in the master version of the Urquell.
What has been adjusted? The following weapons, armor, and mods have been locked for Day One:
Weapons
IKELOS_SMG_V1.0.2 – Legendary submachine gun
Imperial Needle – Legendary bow
Great Overture – Exotic machine gun
The Wardcliff Coil – Exotic rocket launcher
Armor
Wyrm God’s Touch – Exotic Titan gauntlets
Wanderer’s Greaves – Exotic Titan leg armor
Mods
Suppressive Glave
Furthermore, every player must have a light level of at least 1,530 to successfully complete every phase of the raid. Your artifact will support you up to the cap of 1,530. Artifact levels above the cap will not be added.
What else has been announced? Bungie points out that they are closely monitoring Gambit. They see the feedback and have three focuses in mind that might be addressed in future updates:
Use of heavy weapons
The frequency of invasions
Ancient phases (The hit points)
Bungie is still busy gathering feedback, and possibly adjustments will only take effect later. What do you think? Do you think it’s good that Bungie is locking the listed weapons for the Day One raid? Let us know!

Elden Ring offers poor performance on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on Steam. With some tricks, you can improve the performance.MeinMMO explains what you can do and what you need to consider.
The first, important Day One patch for Elden Ring only partially improved the situation on PC and PS5, and many users still complained about poor performance and a heavily fluctuating framerate.
But now there are two small tricks that you can use to noticeably improve performance at least on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. MeinMMO explains what you need to do.
On PS5, you’ll get more FPS with the PS4 version
Here’s what you can do on PS5: If you want stable 60 FPS on PS5, you need to install the PS4 version. This may sound paradoxical at first, but it gives you significantly better performance. This is explained by the YouTube channel “Digital Foundry” in its video.

While the PS5 version struggles with severe framedrops, the PS4 version runs on the PS5 with a stable framerate.
What’s the downside? The biggest drawback is that you cannot transfer your progress from the PS5 to the PS4 version. This means that if you’ve already started on PS5 and now switch to the PS4 version for better performance, you’ll have to start over.
On Xbox Series X, you don’t have to start over
What works on Xbox Series X? On the Xbox Series X, you can enable a small feature called “VRR” to significantly improve or at least stabilize your framerate. On the Xbox Series X, the variable refresh rate (VRR) is used over HDMI.
Here’s how to proceed: To do this, go to the settings of your Xbox Series X and navigate to “Video modes.” The following options should be activated:
Dolby Vision should be enabled
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) should be enabled
Low Latency Mode should also be activated
Finally, you should check via your TV or monitor whether VRR is enabled on your device. Usually, it’s enough to have AMD FreeSync enabled.
Monitor for PS5 and Xbox: If you don’t have a suitable monitor for your PS5 or Xbox Series X|S yet, take a look at our buying guide. Here we not only showcase suitable models but also tell you what to look for when purchasing:
Here we will show you when Season 1 in Chapter 3 of Fortnite ends and when Season 2 starts.
What’s happening in Fortnite? On December 5th Season 1 in Chapter 3 of Fortnite started. Chapter 2 ended with the whole map being flipped over and players flocking to the new map everywhere. But soon, the current season of Chapter 3 will end.
We summarize here when the next season begins and what we know about it.
When does Season 1 in Chapter 3 end?
This is known: In the game, Fortnite indicates that Season 1 in Chapter 3 runs until March 19. March 19 is a Saturday.
However, there is also a chance that Season 1 may end on March 22. That would be a Tuesday. Until recently, this date was still on the Fortnite website.
Since Epic is still keeping quiet about the new season, players are passing the time in what might be the last hours of Season 1 with their own teasers:
This is how it has been so far: Typically, a new season starts immediately after the end of an old season. We therefore expect that Season 1 will end on March 19 and Season 2 of Chapter 3 will start on March 20, 2022. That would then be a Sunday.
New seasons in Fortnite usually start on a Tuesday. However, the first season in Chapter 3 started on a Sunday. It is quite possible that the next part will also begin on a Sunday.
Expect that there will be downtime between the seasons when the game will not be accessible. A multi-day downtime like with the Black Hole is not to be expected here, as it is not the start of a new chapter, but “just” a new season within a chapter.
What content does Season 2 Chapter 3 bring? Leaks
This is known so far: There is currently no official information about what content will be included in the new season. However, data miners already have an idea. In the following lines, we will discuss leaks regarding Season 2. If you want to be surprised, then better go to one of the following articles:
This has been found: Data miner Hypex already showed a major find regarding Season 2 on Twitter back in December 2021. He found new characters that seem to be related to The Origin & The Sisters. These are the remaining characters still missing from the cast of “The Seven”.
Some members of the community also assume that there could be a larger conflict between The Seven and The Imagined Order. Both sides are currently fighting for control over the Fortnite island.
This possible conflict would also fit the tank vehicles that have already been found in the code. These are vehicles for two people (one driver and one passenger).

This is what the tank vehicles look like in the game
However, the function of these tanks is unclear. With the drill, it seems that you can work into the ground or through walls. But there are currently no details on this.
There is therefore much potential for the story to become really exciting in Season 2. What content would you be most looking forward to? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.
In Elden Ring runes are a central part of character progression. That’s why many players are interested in locations where they can farm them. A particularly good spot can be found in the east of the game world, near a gigantic dragon. However, you must not kill it.
Runes are the experience points and currency in Elden Ring. You can use them to improve your attributes or purchase all kinds of items from NPCs. Therefore, they are especially important and many players are looking for places where they can effectively farm runes.
A particularly effective spot is located east of the starting area Limgrave, in the neighboring region Caelid. There you can collect thousands of runes in a short time.

Sparing the giant dragon and killing its minions brings around quite a few runes
This is how you can farm runes there: Sooner or later you will encounter a gigantic dragon that has probably crashed. It lies motionless in the world and at first glance appears to be dead.
It has surely seen better days, but as soon as you approach, the dragon awakens. It can only move its head. The dragon then emits a roar that inflicts a debuff on your attack and defense.
In addition, several smaller dragon zombies awaken around it. These dragons are your actual targets. Because to kill the gigantic dragon, you must first eliminate its minions.
Each dragon has a lot of hit points but only a limited selection of attacks. However, these are particularly strong, so you must definitely block or evade them.
Otherwise, the dragons are not a big challenge, and each one gives you a few thousand runes.
Always leave the last dragon alive and return to the Site of Grace.
Now the dragons respawn, and you can start the whole thing over again.
If you kill all except for the last zombie dragon, you should collect a good amount of runes.

What happens if I kill them all? Then the giant dragon also dies and does not return in this playthrough. So you can only farm runes there again in New Game Plus.
It’s hard to say whether killing the dragon has any further impact. But currently, it doesn’t seem like the dragon has any connection to a possible quest or NPC.
If you kill it, you additionally receive around 25,000 runes. In total, there are over 100,000 runes to be obtained, especially if you also use the item Golden Finger. However, the death of the giant dragon “kills” this farming method as well.
If you have trouble with the smaller dragons, here are a few quick tips for the fight:
Avoid getting hit if possible, especially when you have few hit points left. Also, use a shield in case of emergency to block a hit.
Land heavy charged attacks. Sooner or later, you can provoke the moment for a critical attack. You’ll notice this when the dragons fall over and one of their eyes reveals a weak spot by glowing orange.
Pull the dragons slowly and individually away from the others. You don’t want to fight multiple at the same time. Fortunately, the dragons don’t seem to have particularly good eyesight or hearing, so it shouldn’t be a problem to take them out one by one.
Preferably fight on foot, as you cannot block attacks while on your horse.
Watch out for its stomp attacks when you should be attacking its legs.
The farming route is located in the east of Caelid
Where can I find the dragon? There are two possible routes. The first and easiest is to travel directly north of Caelid through a teleporter and ride south from there.
You will find the dragon southwest of the large tree that can be seen on the map:
Here you can see two possible paths to the Fort Faroth.
The dragon is gigantic and cannot be missed. Right behind the dragon is also the Fort Faroth.
There you will find a Site of Grace on the other side at the edge of the chasm. This way, you don’t have to go far to repeatedly run the route.
In Caelid, you will encounter many annoying enemies against which one item can be useful:
The spot is also located in Caelid, but all the way to the north. There you can simply work through a series of smaller enemies with your horse. However, this is not quite as effective.
What do you think of this method? Have you discovered it as well? Do you use something like this, or do you prefer to level up “normally”?
In League of Legends , Riot Games has now outlined update 12.6, which is set to arrive on the live servers on March 30. The patch will tackle one of the biggest issues currently plaguing League of Legends: healing is too strong, especially through lifesteal. There will be nerfs for many items. A popular rune will be completely removed from LoL.
How is Riot Games addressing this in patch 12.6? Riot has introduced a whole series of nerfs for powerful lifesteal items.
Lifesteal is consistently reduced from 10% to 8% on many items, including Vampire Scepter, Shieldbow, and Bork.
For the “Blood-Thirster,” an iconic weapon, lifesteal will drop from 20% to 15%.
LoL removes strong rune with omnivamp
This is probably the most important change: A problematic rune is being completely removed from the game by Riot Games. The rune “Ravenous Hunter” grants the player 6% omnivamp at 5 stacks. Omnivamp is a particularly strong form of lifesteal.
As Dotesports knows, the rune was so strong that it was used by many players.
Instead, a rune is set to be introduced that promises gold when you take down an opposing champion for the first time.

Today the pre-season 2022 starts in LoL – Here are the most important innovations in the video
Tanks with a lot of lifesteal should not deal a lot of damage as well
This is what Riot says about the changes: On reddit , an LoL developer explains the change:
In general, there should be a cost to equipping strong “sustain” items, meaning the ability to survive longer and heal back up.
Those who can deal a lot of damage must be prepared to fall quickly as well.
Those who want to play as a tank with a lot of lifesteal should not also be able to deal a lot of damage.
The changes brought by the patch should be seen as a “re-evaluation” of the value of “sustain.”
How are the changes being received? The general direction of the change is well-received, as healing in LoL is viewed critically overall. The ability to fully heal from a wave of minions through enormous lifesteal is seen as a problem by some.
However, some users say: the changes mainly affect ADCs, but they are not the problem, rather tanks with high health pools.
Right now, the patch is only on the test server, so several changes may still occur before it goes live at the end of March.
One champion illustrates the current problem of LoL well:
