Fortnite: Battle Royale brings back the prehistoric bows. There’s also a new event focused solely on bows. It’s called “Bow Boom” and offers you 5 quests that you should complete using bows. What these quests are, how to complete them quickly, and where to find the bows, you will learn here on MeinMMO.
What kind of event is this? On February 22, 2022, the Bow Boom event (in English “Bow-Nanza”) started in the 3rd chapter of Fortnite. However, it is not a separate mode, but a series of quests that you can complete until March 1 at 2:59 PM.
What are these quests? As the name suggests, it’s all about bows and you get the opportunity to complete certain quests using bows for the week until March 1. You will temporarily receive the cool prehistoric bows that were last available in Season 6 of Chapter 2.
Hit IO personnel with the prehistoric flame bow (7) – 8K points
Knock away wildlife in different matches with a mechanical shockwave bow (2) – 8K points
Hunt wildlife with a bow (3) – 8K points
Deal damage to players with a prehistoric stink bow (250) – 8K points
Eliminate opponents with a mechanical boom bow (3) – 8K points

Are you into shooters? These new shooters are coming early 2022.
How to complete the quests
All these quests are easy to complete in regular Fortnite matches alongside. The 8K points each are not too exciting, but you can easily collect them while playing regular Fortnite.
Note in the quest with the IO personnel that you do not need to kill them, but only hit them. Therefore, avoid fatal headshots to land as many hits as possible. You can find IO personnel in the IO camps, which are located in the middle of the map as well as in the south and north.
You can also complete the quests with wildlife on the side. It’s best to use the shockwave bow to knock the creatures away and then kill them for the “Hunt wildlife” quest.
The last two quests are ideally completed in the squad modes, as you will encounter many more opponents and have respawns here.
Unlike in Season 6 of Chapter 2, you do not have to painstakingly assemble the bows from scrap. Instead, the bows are available as regular loot in chests, and the corresponding arrows can be found in ammo boxes.
The bows are indeed quite slow, but they deal good damage and when you shoot with them, you have helpful aim assistance.
By the way, the bows are only available in regular matches. The items of the “Bow Boom” week are not available in competitive game modes.
Cool, when you use bows: Fortnite has a quirky control method with which you can aim well without aim assist.

The latest major patch of World of Warcraft is finally live. The end of eternity has begun and brings many new contents.
It was one of the more strenuous content droughts in World of Warcraft, but now it has come to an end. The latest update is finally live. The Patch 9.2 End of Eternity has been deployed on the servers and the realms are accessible again since 10:30 AM. After you have installed the patch, you can start right away.
What’s in Patch 9.2? Basically, Patch 9.2 appears rather classic. There is a new area, Zereth Mortis. However, those expecting a small area the size of Korthia are mistaken. Zereth Mortis is significantly larger and more extensive, resembling Nazjatar. There is thus much more area and therefore much more to discover and accomplish day by day.
The tasks include weekly and daily quests, a new reputation faction, plenty of rare mobs and treasures, as well as numerous rewards in the form of mounts and battle pets.
While there are no new dungeons, fans of “Mythic+” can enjoy visiting Tazavesh, divided into two smaller dungeons, each with 4 bosses.
The Tower of Torghast has been expanded with new layers and even a new game mode. In the “Jailers Gauntlet,” you must overcome a series of increasingly challenging boss fights, for which cosmetic rewards await.
The story of Zereth Mortis also affects the dungeons – with the new affix.
What’s coming next? In the upcoming weeks, more content will be unlocked. Besides the additional chapters of the Covenant campaign, Shadowlands Season 3 for PvP and Mythic+ will start. Additionally, the raid Mausoleum of the First with a whopping 11 bosses will open. As usual, this unlocking will happen progressively – we have all the dates for the Mausoleum of the First here for you.
Also new is the feature to soon be able to wear 2 legendary items at the same time. This will significantly boost character power and drastically simplify progress in the new raid.
More news about Patch 9.2 in WoW can be found here:
What comes after? How exactly World of Warcraft will continue after Patch 9.2 is still not entirely clear. However, it is certain that 9.2 was the last major update and the saga of Shadowlands will be concluded. A smaller Patch 9.2.5 has already been confirmed, which primarily brings “Cross-Faction Play,” allowing Horde and Alliance to visit dungeons and raids together.
How it continues with 10.0 is currently unknown. But perhaps the cinematic at the end of the raid “Mausoleum of the First” will provide an answer.
Are you already in Patch 9.2? How do you like Zereth Mortis and the other new content?

An advertisement image for one of the upcoming events of Pokémon GO might have revealed which is the next mysterious Pokémon to be released in the mobile game. We show you the image and the community discussion here.
What is it about? The Niantic team regularly releases new Pokémon in the mobile game Pokémon GO. This type of Pokémon doesn’t have to be particularly strong but is usually extremely rare and obtainable through specific research.
With the announcement for the upcoming air event, which brings costumed Pikachu and Corasonn, the Pokémon team has shared some advertisement images. Among them is one that shows previously unreleased monsters. For trainers, a hint: they could be coming next.
Release of Shaymin in the Spring Season?
This is the image:
Here you see the costumed Pikachu and also Corasonn, both of which are part of the air event in Pokémon GO. However, you can also recognize the Pokémon Sankabuh from the 7th generation (the sandcastle with the shovel, to the left of Pikachu) and Shaymin at the top right in the clouds.
Who is Shaymin? This is a mysterious Pokémon of type Grass (and in its Sky Form also Flying), originating from the fourth generation. Shaymin exists in Land Form and Sky Form – the latter can be recognized in the artwork.
There are also more exciting images that are available as promotional material on the website flying-pikachu.com.
This is the discussion: On reddit trainer duskyxlops shared one of the artwork images that is currently being discussed. He wrote the assumption “This artwork was used in connection with the upcoming air collaboration event and features Shaymin and Gen 7. This could mean that Shaymin [the reward] for the next mysterious task series in spring is.”
With over 700 upvotes, many trainers agree with the theory. However, there are also some concerns. User Byotan wrote “In 2022, they showed Mega-Lucario and Mega-Mewtwo in the promotional images and they have not been released yet. Knowing Niantic, I would keep my expectations low.”
In response, user ZekromFPS: “We should also remember that the anniversary artworks were made for Niantic. These air collaboration artworks are not for GO; they are for the whole thing that should have started 8 months ago. I see everyone focusing on Shaymin, even though Curelei, Sankabuh, and Lusardin are visible in the same image. But Alola isn’t coming anytime soon. It’s just artwork.”
Other trainers suspect that Shaymin might become part of the seasonal research like Hoopa.
What do you think? Is Niantic going to release new Pokémon from the 7th generation in the upcoming season in March, and could Shaymin become the mysterious Pokémon of this chapter, or are you skeptical and don’t believe that this Pokémon will come?
Let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss it with other trainers.

In Destiny 2: Witch Queen, the Exotic weapon “Osteo Striga” was included in the Deluxe Edition. However, it was not immediately unlocked at the Cryptarch upon logging in, but must be obtained through other means. We will show you how.
What kind of weapon is this? This submachine gun, which looks like a hermit spider from past times, was promised to players of the Deluxe Edition of Witch Queen. However, once Guardians logged in, there was no sign of the Exotic along with its catalyst and ornament.
Thus, we will show you what the weapon can do and, most importantly, how to obtain it and if you can get it even without the Deluxe Edition.
How to obtain the Exotic weapon – Osteo Striga
As a pre-order or latecomer of the Deluxe Edition, you will not receive this new Exotic submachine gun as loot for completing the story quest as usual, but you must forge it. To do so, you must have unlocked the enclave on Mars.
This is the new poison syringe – Osteo Striga
However, you also need the right materials and the blueprint for crafting. To unlock the blueprint, you must own and complete the story of Witch Queen. Only then can you forge your poison syringe in the enclave.
Can I obtain it without the Deluxe Edition? Not for now. The weapon was “given away” in the Deluxe Edition package. Therefore, you must either own it or purchase the “Season Pass” bundle later.
What can the weapon do? You fire homing, poisonous projectiles with your weapon. However, you must aim at your opponent for the bullets to track them.
If you have killed your opponent with a dose of poison, it will release poison to surrounding enemies. They will receive moderate poison damage over time. Similar to the Exotic Arms of the Warlock “Necrotic Grip”.
How do I obtain the catalyst? You can obtain the catalyst when you level up your forged Osteo Striga to level 10. You must continuously play with it and achieve kills to reach this level.
What can the catalyst do? If you have filled your catalyst, you will receive ammunition back for every poison kill. This can be especially advantageous for large groups of enemies.
What do you think of the Exotic weapon “Osteo Striga”? Have you got it yet? Or did you not get to play at all yesterday? Let us know what you think of Witch Queen so far!

Lost Ark received a hotfix on February 23 that resolved several bugs. The focus was on matchmaking and a trick with the Crystalline Aura, which no longer works.
Another important change concerns the login rewards on the EU-West region servers. These previously provided 44 free days for the Crystalline Aura. However, the update changed the rewards so that there are now additional completions for Una’s Tasks and a rare engraving instead of the Aura and the crystals.
However, those who had already reached the three logins before could keep their extended Aura.
Additionally, a display bug with the “Launch Event” rewards and a bug with the Battle Item Bundle were fixed.
When does the patch come out? The patch was applied at 6:00 AM German time. There was a server downtime of two hours, but since just before 8:00 AM, all servers are active again. So anyone who wants to play now can start right away.
Applied a fix to help address matchmaking issues. We will continue to monitor matchmaking closely after tonight’s hotfix.
Fixed an issue with the Launch Event showing an item level 1420 Rapport Chest as the Day 15 reward.
Fixed an issue where the [Weekly] Battle Item Bundle stated it can be claimed 10 times. This has been changed to reflect the actual purchase limit of once a week.
Fixed an issue with the 10 day Attendance Event on the Europe West region. The Day 3 reward has been changed to Una’s Tasks [Daily] +1 x10, and the Day 6 reward is now Rare Combat Engraving Recipe Selection Pouch x10.

The PPSh-41 submachine gun is completely out of control in Call of Duty: Warzone. Due to a bug, the weapon deals way too much damage. Now the developers are stepping in – for now, the weapon remains strong.
This is the situation:
Season 2 came out just over a week ago and brought a ton of weapon changes
It took a few days, then players discovered that the PPSh submachine gun is completely “overpowered”
Now the developers clarified: This is a bug that will be fixed soon
Is the weapon really that strong? Absolutely, it’s exaggerated. The time-to-kill of the PPSh from Vanguard can drop to 400 milliseconds with close combat setups – without headshots.
500 milliseconds are already considered very strong in Warzone and the PPSh can offer less in many situations and is very easy to use.
If you want to take advantage of the OP power in the next few days, here are 2 setups for your enjoyment:
How long will this last? Unfortunately, it’s not possible to say for sure at the moment. The developers are talking about a “problem” and not a “bug” with the balancing.

The increase in damage was not intended and the problem is still being investigated. Therefore, unfortunately, it can’t be said for sure how long the broken gun will remain in the game.
However, it shouldn’t take too long, and you can expect a nerf this week or, at the latest, next week.
The broken PPSh submachine gun in Warzone is now one of the most unpopular weapon metas and the power has only been known for a few days.
Right now, while a double-XP event is currently running, such overpowered weapons are annoying, because you can really only rely on the OP gun to keep up in close combat.
In the new survival horror game Dying Light 2, a curious Easter egg is currently causing a stir in the community. It involves a soccer ball, fireworks, and a dancing zombie. We at MeinMMO summarize.
What is this Easter egg? The curious secret is hidden in an abandoned soccer field in Dying Light 2. There, you can find not just the usual abandoned buildings and containers, but also a soccer ball. The goal of the field is still somewhat intact.
You can probably guess what happens next. You have to kick the ball into the goal. To do this, you need to place it in front of the goal and then use your kick function to send the round object into the square.
If you succeed, it triggers a kind of electric fireworks around the goal. This is not just visually impressive, but it also drops a sword into the goal that you can take with you.
If you pick up this sword, a large zombie will appear and scare you. This is a kind of mini-boss, but only at first glance. After a few seconds, the zombie starts dancing and cheers for your goal.

Where can you find the goal? The goal is located on a secured level in the north of the Saint Joseph Hospital. From there, you can go to the soccer field and find the ball in front of you that you need to kick into the goal.
The community celebrates the hidden gimmick
How do the fans react? The Easter egg appeared in the afternoon of February 22 on reddit and generated 216 upvotes within the first 6 hours. This is relatively high for the subreddit.
In the comments, users celebrate the soccer game and are already wondering how many hidden gimmicks are still hidden in the survival horror game. Many also make jokes about how they could make the Easter egg even more bizarre and funny.
User GalacticRabaut writes: ‘Instead of playing alone, you should do this at night. Then you can attract a lot of zombies and play goal hunt with them on the field.’
chunksofstuff is thrilled: ‘Definitely not! This is just genius!’
sixyoutraitor is a little confused and writes: ‘What the hell did I just see?’
Have you found funny Easter eggs in Dying Light 2 or are you more into other games? What do you think of the dancing zombie and the little fireworks above the goal? Or do you think that such things have no place in a horror game and are rather annoyed by such things? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
A ban wave has rolled over the World of Warcraft. Numerous players have lost access to their accounts – and items.
Some players attempting to log in today for Patch 9.2 “Eternity’s End” might rub their eyes in disbelief – as their accounts have been temporarily suspended. A ban wave has rolled over World of Warcraft, excluding numerous players from the MMORPG. The cause is likely assistance in the Mage Tower, which violates the terms of use.
What happened? Yesterday, on 22.02.2022, an outcry went through the various WoW forums and the game’s subreddit. Numerous players reported that they or their friends had been banned. The bans range from a few days to several months. Particularly bitter is the fact that a new patch is on the agenda today, which these players will miss.
Why were the accounts suspended? The reason for the ban dates back several weeks, as it concerns the Mage Tower. Apparently, many players have sought help in completing these tasks by sharing their account details with other players, who then completed these tasks for them.
In the Mage Tower, some players apparently sought help – and shared their account.
If Player A shares their account with Player B to complete a task, then this is account sharing. This is not only dangerous, as it involves sharing login credentials with others, but is also prohibited in the terms of use.
Account sharing can usually be easily proven, as Blizzard can see from the IP address when an account logs in from two widely separated locations in a short period of time.
Which items are involved? Blizzard has since confirmed that they will remove the items obtained through account sharing from the respective accounts. Specifically, this concerns the Mage Book, a special mount that was awarded for completing all Mage Tower challenges.
Additionally, individual sets associated with the Mage Tower successes will be removed from the affected players. They will need to achieve the successes and the associated rewards again after the ban expires – this time without outside assistance.
For more news about World of Warcraft, click here:
Community Manager Kaivax explained in the official forum:
It’s important for me to clarify that the prevailing opinion in this thread exactly reflects what we will do. We do not believe that it is enough to simply impose a temporary suspension and then let players log back in with their unjustly obtained rewards.
We will remove both the rewards [sets, mounts] and the kill evidence [achievements] from all players whose accounts have been sanctioned.
What do you think of this approach? A good step that Blizzard is taking a hard stance? Or is the punishment too harsh for “10 minutes of account sharing”?

The exotic quest “Salutations from the Past” has been moved to Variks in Europe.
Ikora Rey
From her vantage point in the Tower Bazaar, Ikora will now teach all classes about Void abilities, aspects, and fragments they have not unlocked on their characters yet.
However, learning new Void abilities has its price: every new learned ability requires large amounts of programmable matter (glimmer) and a nearby meditation device to advance the process.
For returning characters with Void focus, most abilities will already be unlocked upon login.
The use of grenades that were not available for a class before the launch of “The Witch Queen” must still be learned from Ikora.

Jason Schreier is a well-known gaming journalist who regularly shares insider information. In a new report, he says that there will be no new installment of Call of Duty in 2023. It would be the first time since 2005.
What exactly does Schreier say? According to his sources, Schreier claims to have learned that Activision Blizzard is skipping a new installment of the shooter series next year.
Since the first installment of Call of Duty in 2003, over 400 million copies of the franchise have reportedly been sold.
Why was this decision made? The latest installment of the series – Call of Duty: Vanguard – has underperformed expectations for Activision. Some executives are said to have concluded that new installments are being released too quickly.
Also, Warzone, the free-to-play game of Call of Duty, is said to have drawn players away from the premium versions. The studio that was supposed to develop a new title is reportedly assisting with Warzone instead. More seasonal updates are planned here.
When is the next installment coming? According to Schreier, there should be a new installment in 2024.
Warzone is successful and likely to get a second installment in 2022
When is CoD: Warzone 2 coming? It has been confirmed that Warzone will get a sequel. This new game is expected to address ongoing problems that cannot be improved technically. Warzone 2 will thus represent a restart of the game on new and better hardware.
It is currently unclear whether Warzone 2 will be released in 2022 alongside Modern Warfare 2 or a few months later. This was the case with Warzone, which was released in March 2020 – several months after the release of Modern Warfare (2019).
The latest information from Jason Schreier suggests that Warzone 2 will be released in 2022, thus closely following Modern Warfare 2. However, there is still no exact date for both games.
The shooter MMORPG Global Agenda: Free Agent was gone from Steam for years and even the servers were dead for a while. Now the first game from the Smite developers is back and is even receiving good reviews on Steam.
What happened to the game? Global Agenda: Free Agent has had an exciting development. In 2010, the game launched as the large and first project of Hi-Rez Studios, the same developers behind Smite and Paladins. However, Global Agenda could not convince in the long run.
Just 14 months after the release, the developers changed the payment model of the title to Free2Play to become more accessible. But the big turnaround did not happen. Between 2014 and 2015, the title completely disappeared from the Steam platform. However, the game’s servers remained online until 2018 before they were finally shut down, and no one could play Global Agenda anymore.
A planned Global Agenda 2 was also canceled in 2012. Since then, things have been quiet about the game. In 2018, the news came that the last servers would also be shut down and that the game would not only die on Steam, but would be completely taken offline.
A petition from fans wanting to bring the title back failed with only 31 signatures. Apparently, the sci-fi MMO was simply not meant to be.

What is new? Surprisingly and without prior announcement, Global Agenda has been back since February 1, 2022, exactly 12 years after its release. At least partially. Because while fans report that the game can be downloaded and played, many complain that some services are not functioning and that login issues occur repeatedly.
Additionally, the game is listed as hidden on Steam. This means that you cannot find it when searching for Global Agenda. But if you click the link to the shop page, it works, and you can at least download the game.
According to a note on Steam, it is a request from the publisher that is the reason why the MMO cannot currently be found and does not appear in the search. According to fan statements, nothing has been changed about the game itself. It is simply back without any announcement.
The community loves the game – After all these years
How are the players reacting? Global Agenda receives exceptionally good ratings on Steam. The overall reviews of the title are 81% positive. Even more interesting, however, are the ratings over the last 30 days. Here, the title fares even better with 91% good ratings.
However, Global Agenda does not have a very large community. You can also tell by the fact that these 91% come from a total of 37 reviews. It is also notable that a large part of the reviews comes from people who have played the game before and invested well over 1,000 hours.
Only three reviewers from the last 30 days (as of February 22) have played less than 100 hours. Of these, two are positive and one is negative.
What do the fans say? You can find some old fans of the title in the comments and reviews who wish that Hi-Rez would resume the development of Global Agenda:
As Sidoniss writes: ‘In 2022, it’s actually not worth playing anymore. Nevertheless, I would like to leave a good review here, because maybe HiRez will finally make Global Agenda 2, that would be really cool.’
Also, BAMMIN writes: ‘A great game that definitely needs a remake or a comeback. The community is great and the game is just too good to go away.’
iShayne is simply happy and writes after 5,541 hours: ‘The game is back on Steam, the servers are online again – come back Agents, there’s work to do! The best game that Hi-Rez has ever made is back!’
What kind of game is this? Global Agenda is a sci-fi MMO shooter that focuses heavily on PvP and grinding. The game has no level restrictions, and despite the Free2Play model, it is possible to obtain all items in the game without spending real money. The colleagues from GameStar tested the game back at launch.
Similar to New World, you fight for control over areas in an open world, only as an agent in 2155. There are various PvE content such as dungeons and raids for 4 to 10 players.
The game also included PvP content. This came in the form of open-world PvP zones, 4v4 and 10v10 modes. A guild vs. guild mode is also present in the game, and in the ‘Double Agent’ mode, you have to fight against both players and NPCs in PvPvE.
Did you play the game back then and are now happy that it is back? Or will you give Global Agenda 2022 a chance for the first time? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.
League of Legends released the new supporter Renata Glasc last week. She can revive an ally for a short time. How powerful this can be is shown in a video clip where the supporter brings Olaf back to life three times in 30 seconds.
What happens in the clip? The video shows a team fight involving all players from both teams. At the start, things look promising for Blue as they manage to take down the opposing AD Carry, a crucial source of damage.
The two manage to turn the team fight around together and are the only ones to survive. The fight impressively demonstrates how strong Renata Glasc can be.

What exactly is happening with Renata and Olaf? With the ability Bailout (W), Renata Glasc can increase an ally’s attack and movement speed for a short time. If this ally dies while under the influence of the buff, they are revived for 3 seconds. If they manage to get a kill within those 3 seconds, they remain alive permanently.
That is exactly what Olaf accomplished in the team fight three times.
You can find all of Renata Glasc’s abilities here:
How are players reacting to the clip? On the League of Legends subreddit, the clip is currently one of the most discussed threads. However, Renata Glasc is not being received well there:
Antinomy_Magnus finds Renata far too strong: “In the late game, Renata’s ‘W’ has a cooldown of only 6 seconds. That’s absolutely crazy.”
User DwooMan simply writes: “That’s… that’s not okay!”
TheWarmog is even really frustrated with overpowered champions: “I would really appreciate it if we could stop creating broken and mega-frustrating champs, at least for a season. Senna, Aphelios, Samira, Yone, all within a year. Please, for heaven’s sake, make cool champions that don’t have frustrating mechanics.”
What’s special is that Renata Glasc can also use the ability on herself. Focusing her in a team fight is a good solution, but it doesn’t guarantee that revival will be absent.
However, many users already expect nerfs in the next patch. A simple adjustment could be, according to user 2legittoquit, to set a cooldown on the revivals of the same champion. Then not much would need to be changed about the ability itself.
Have you encountered Renata Glasc yet? Do you find her too strong or is this video an extreme case? Feel free to write it in the comments.

The streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla was banned on Twitch. The exact circumstances of the ban are still unclear. The last time the German streamer showed a special event was on February 14.
Update February 22: Knossi has since explained why he was banned. The reason is alleged moaning in the role-play of GTA. The streamer accepts his ban:
Because of GTA RP. Because of moaning in GTA RP. Yes, rightly so. I would like to apologize at this point. Ignorance does not protect from punishment […].
I obviously deserved this ban. It was right. I felt that if I was in GTA RP and others were pretending to me, it was okay.
Update February 16, 8:00 PM: Knossi has been unbanned. The ban lasted only 24 hours.
What happened? The website Streamerbans reported that the account “TheRealKnossi” was banned on Twitch. The ban took place on February 15 around 8:00 PM.
Why Knossi was banned is still unknown. We also currently have no information on the duration of the ban.
However, a bot on Twitter reported that the ban is likely only temporary (via Twitter). The reason given is a violation of the Terms of Service. However, this is very vague and could mean almost anything.
Some users speculate that it could be related to the fake break-in that was shown in the last stream (via Twitter).
Another user suspects that in the last stream, when Knossi carried his wife, her underwear was accidentally visible (via Twitter).
What does Knossi say himself? The streamer has already commented on Twitter . There he stated that he is celebrating an “extended Valentine’s Day”. This refers to the fact that he cannot stream today and thus has “time off”.
However, he has not commented on the reason or duration of the ban.
However, he repeatedly manages to attract celebrities with large formats. Highlights of his career include the fishing and winter camps he hosted with Sido and Manny Marc, as well as his own series on RTL, which, however, was discontinued in early 2021.

In Destiny 2, the last major downtime before Witch Queen is approaching, before players will start in Witch Queen and the new Season 16. MeinMMO will continuously accompany the server downtime and will also inform you in advance about the exact times.
Tomorrow evening it will finally happen. The latest expansion of Destiny 2 is starting and players have really had to wait a long time for it. Witch Queen will pay off narrative threads that date back to the first Destiny and “The Taken King”. However, before you can start in Season 16 to thwart Savathun’s plan, there will still be a server downtime.
Update History – Live Ticker:
7:30 PM: Content creators are already showing the first Witch Queen gameplay. We hope you could also log in and test your Guardian’s new movements. Visually, the “Witch Queen” expansion has also given Destiny 2 a new look. First “blueberries” sighted while leveling!
7:25 PM: Hardly in the game, players have already discovered an interesting weapon in Witch Queen through the collection. Is this maybe the new raid weapon, which actually shouldn’t be online yet? What do you think?
7:09 PM: Bungie keeps their word and ensures a surprisingly swift login into the game. More and more players can log in, and our Destiny 2 authors have already made it into the game. How about you?
7:00 PM: The maintenance of Destiny 2 is complete. Bungie’s community manager dmg04 reports that logins for Witch Queen are going smoothly. More and more players are able to log in. Bungie is monitoring all charts to ensure a stable experience. It looks like many players can already enter at the start of the new expansion on the first evening.
6:50 PM: Has something changed in performance? Players report that Destiny 2: Witch Queen runs smoother and looks cool. And the Hunters among you can now even slide “backwards”.
6:30 PM: The first Guardians have successfully logged in and reached the Throne World. Logins are proceeding quickly, and while queues are present, Bungie has everything under control.
Feel free to look around in the Tower, we are receiving reports that the Vanguard has completed renovation work here. Additionally, a Cabal ship has docked in the hangar.
Another reminder for all PS4 players: You should now be able to start the download. Previously, Bungie reported an error here, which caused this delay. We still hope everything goes smoothly now.
6:20 PM: Important note from Bungie’s community manager dmg04. All Guardians are asked not to leave the queue, as you will lose your place in line otherwise. Bungie ensures that more Guardians can log in with every second.
6:00 PM: Ready to go! The first Guardians have already attempted to log in to have their audience with the Queen. Unfortunately, the servers are still overloaded. Expect queues, as 1 million other Guardians want to do the same.
5:45 PM: Only 15 minutes left and then the servers should be available again. We are curious if everything goes smoothly.
5:10 PM: The patch notes for update 4.0.0.1 have been released. A lot to read, but we have summarized the most important details for you.
4:00 PM: Bungie has just released a new trailer for Season 16 “Season of the Risen”. We will embed the video below the update box. What do you think of the new impressions that Guardians are now fighting side by side with the Cabal?
12:00 PM: PS4 players are “not amused” about the fact that they will clearly be the last in line at the start of Witch Queen. Are you affected?
9:00 AM: On Twitter, Bungie has already informed players to expect wait times ahead of the release. However, they will do everything to get you into the game as quickly as possible. (Community manager dmg04 via twitter) Prior to that, some known issues for entering the game have been disclosed. We have added this information further down in the article, in the patch notes.
8:30 AM: On PC, the download is 22.07 GB. For PS5, it is 18.995 GB (version number 1.037.000). But even if you have downloaded the update, you can officially only play from tonight at 6 PM, if everything goes well.
8:21 AM: Bungie is reporting an issue with the preload for Playstation. It has now been announced on Twitter that the download will start at 6 PM for Sony console players. The download will have 72 GB specifically for PS4 players.
Check out the latest trailer for Destiny 2 – Witch Queen and the new “Season of the Risen” here, if you still have to wait in line.

What you need to know today: There will first be a “server down” that will start in Germany on February 22 at 04:00 AM. Afterwards, the servers of Bungie will be offline for a full 14 hours. So you won’t be able to play Destiny 2 until the evening.
But don’t worry, there will be a preload so that you can download the new content of the new DLC Witch Queen and the upcoming Season 16 during the server downtime. So you should be ready to go at the start.
Will Warlocks with Void 3.0 be the best class in Witch Queen?
When does the preload start exactly? The preload for Witch Queen will be available on February 22 at 04:00 AM on all platforms. How much storage space update 4.0.0.1 will require is not yet known.
Before that, there will also be a longer downtime for Destiny 2. Bungie is currently planning for just over 14 hours, which you should also take into account.
MeinMMO will update this article throughout the evening to keep you informed.
Maintenance on February 22 – All Times and Server Downtime
These times are important for Witch Queen:
On Tuesday, February 22, the servers will be taken offline at 03:45 AM. You will not be able to log in and some services on Bungie.net will also be unavailable.
From 04:00 AM on February 22, the preview for Witch Queen and the update 4.0.0.1 will be available on all platforms.
It is planned that the Destiny 2 servers will go online again on February 22 at 06:00 PM. If everything goes well, you will be able to play the update 4.0.0.1 on all platforms and regions afterwards. The new expansion will then go live.
On February 22 at 07:00 PM, the maintenance of Destiny 2 is expected to be completed.
It is important: Even if you have downloaded the update, there may be connection issues until the end of the maintenance work around 07:00 PM. Bungie has already pointed out on Twitter that the API will be offline for a while on launch day, which limits the ability to transfer items via the companion app or other third-party apps. So it’s best to plan ahead today and equip your favorite weapons on the character you want to start with in Witch Queen.
You should also expect that times may change again and that there may also be login queues.
Information for PS4 players: Bungie also pointed out that players who play the PS4 version of Destiny 2 must download all required Destiny 2 content before they can play The Witch Queen. Earlier today, an error occurred that caused additional problems for PS4 players.
The Witch Queen awaits you.
What Changes with Update 4.0.0.1 in Season 16
This is what the update brings today: In advance, Bungie has already given a preview of the changes through update 4.0.0.1 (via Bungie.net).
This was announced in advance:
Weapon crafting will be available. You can shape your Godroll yourself.
40 new Legendary weapons and eight Exotics will come into the game.
In addition, there are general “quality of life” adjustments and bug fixes.
UPDATE: These problems are already known at the launch of Witch Queen:
Season passes will be applied, platform-dependently, to the first characters that log in.
The recommended power level for the “PsiOps Battlegrounds” playlist will not be displayed at the start of the activity. However, the recommended power is 1500.
Artifact mods for overload (auto rifle and submachine gun) do not successfully interrupt the health regeneration of overload champions after a stun.
There may be missing related symbols for certain player buffs and debuffs.
Enemies with the instability debuff (Void 3.0) may not count towards loot progress when defeated with area damage.
Opening the character screen on Xbox consoles with a full inventory can lead to a significant drop in frame rate.
Glaive melee kills do not count towards kill tracker progress and certain melee-triggered perks.
Certain ghost tracking mods do not show target materials or chest locations when you explore the new Throne World this evening.
Patch Notes for Hotfix 4.0.0.1 in Destiny 2
What is in the patch notes? What further changes will be made will be published by Bungie in the official patch notes. These should likely be released on the evening of February 22.
Are you excited that it’s finally happening? How do you personally start the new DLC? Feel free to let us know what your clans or friends have planned for the start. Or are you completely relaxed, trying not to get spoiled, and planning to really dive into Witch Queen on Wednesday?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Destiny 2: Witch Queen is finally playable and ready to be explored, yet there are no signs of small queues. You can find out how the servers are currently doing and whether you have a chance to dive into the Throne World today here on MeinMMO.
What do the servers look like? In Destiny 2, Guardians have had to wait patiently since today from 4 AM until 6 PM. The servers were shut down, and players could not log in until then. Now that the downtime is over, players are waiting patiently in line until it is their turn.
Long wait times or short phases?
The image before which many players are standing
Are the servers overloaded? If you have managed to complete your download, you can calmly enter the queues. If you now have images in your mind of Guardians having to walk around in a virtual waiting room for hours, you are mistaken. There are occasional crashes, and Destiny 2 also experiences FPS drops and long wait times when loading menus, but once you’re in, you can enjoy it.
Our freelance author Christos Tsogos has also managed to log in and has not spotted any Baboons or other zoological error messages so far. Destiny 2 is running well, considering a large influx is underway. This time Bungie has kept its promise and is possibly introducing players gradually into the “Destiny 2” universe with small waiting groups.
A cutscene awaits the starving Guardians with a new breeze of content and sends them straight into a selection of the story mode. However, we won’t spoil too much for you; you should experience the magic of Witch Queen for yourself.
What do you think of Witch Queen so far? Do you like the atmosphere, and what do you think of the revisions? Let us know in the comments how you feel about it!
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In Destiny 2, the new expansion Witch Queen has just been released. First players have overcome the queues and are checking out the many new features. One player has found a new Exotic named ‘Peer Pressure’. However, it shouldn’t actually be there yet.
However, the reddit user TJchio accidentally found this weapon among the ornaments. Surprisingly, the weapon is already listed there, even though it shouldn’t be in the game yet. The name of the ornament is ‘Finality’.
Players suspect that Peer Pressure will be the new raid weapon
What is known about the weapon? Not much. So far, we only know that it will be a pulse rifle, as it can be found in the corresponding segment among the ornaments.
TJchio also speculates that the weapon is a Void weapon:
If I had to guess, I would say it’s Void, as it has a purple hue, but that’s just my assumption.

What do the players suspect? On reddit, many players assume that the weapon will probably come into the game with a future update. A possible time would be the release of the next raid.
How is Witch Queen going so far? At 6:00 PM, the new expansion Witch Queen started, but there have already been some problems with the download and long queues. It doesn’t matter whether you’re active on PC or PlayStation.
We will provide you with all the important information about the launch and the queues in our live ticker:
Finally, the long-awaited launch of the new expansion “The Witch Queen” has arrived in Destiny 2. While the servers were offline all day today, the excitement among the Guardians has been growing. Even though there are still some unknowns, we will tell you what to expect from the activities this week.
This is happening this week: Guardians will play the new campaign of Witch Queen for the first time today. The latest trailer has already confirmed our collaboration with the Cabal, and both races will fight side by side in the new Season 16. If you don’t know it yet, we’re linking the trailer here:

Additionally, Guardians will also learn the new weapon crafting today. Bungie will gift you the initial materials for this. After the crash course, you will soon be able to forge your own desired weapons, but you will also have to “pay” for them yourself.
You can also expect interesting new exotics with diverse abilities and intriguing weapons:
As the first strike in the new Season 16, you will face another Witch in her fortress. Hashladun, the daughter of Crota, has designed the red Hive Bastion to harness the energies of the Pyramid that lies buried in the abyss below. You are to drive her out from her refuge in the strike and thin out the descendants of Oryx.
Playlist strikes have these modifiers:
Void Singe
Stasis Burn
Earthed
The burn modifier will accompany you throughout the week, the others will change daily.
In the Glass Chamber, the challenge “The only Oracle for you” takes place. A challenging task and somewhat demanding. The goal is to shoot each Oracle only once. Good communication and organization are essential.
As a reward, the Time-lost weapon “Praedyth’s Revenge” is waiting in Challenge Mode. This sniper rifle will then definitely come with 2 perks per slot.
The armor focusing in the raid this week is: Strength
Crucible – These are the PvP playlists:
Private Match
Rumble
Control
Elimination
Glory Survival
Glory Survival: Freelance
Dynamic Control
Ascendant Challenge:
Petra Venjhas the 2nd Ascendant Challenge for you this week. You can find Petra and her quest offer at the location “The Shore” in the Dreaming City. Here, Savathun also has her fingers in the pie, as the curse begins to reclaim the holy city of the Awoken at level 1.

The new MMORPG Lost Ark has been struggling with heavy queues since its launch. Now, a statistic from players shows which European servers are currently the hardest hit.
What does the statistic show exactly? This table shows the number of players in the queue on all servers in the Central Europe region. It focuses on the day of February 21, 2022. The exact data was collected between 14:24 and 22:52, but it provides a good overall picture.
Which servers are affected? The statistic shows that, contrary to what many German users perceive, the Asta server is not the busiest in Europe. In fact, the unofficial German server Asta is only in 3rd place and even relinquishes its position during the evening hours.
From around 22:00, Asta ranks only 6th among the full servers in Europe, at least concerning the queues in the new MMORPG.
The largest queues are currently on Zinnervale and Kadan, which alternate between the top two positions depending on the time of day. Also among the top are the servers Thirain, Trixion, and Neria, which significantly increase in the evening and night hours.
Here you can take a look at the statistics yourself
On which servers are you in good shape? The Calvasus server stands out particularly in the statistics. As one of the smaller servers, it has almost no queues in the afternoon and at night, but you should expect to wait significantly in the early evening.
Next come the servers Wei and Slen, which are the emptiest original servers. The servers that Amazon later provided all have significantly lower queues.
Beatrice, Sirius, Sceptrum, Pocyon, and Mokoko are almost idle, with no queues exceeding 4,000 players at any time. For comparison – If you log in on Zinnervale at 15:30, you must leave approximately 19,000 fans behind.
Which servers are completely empty? On the newer servers Inanna, Thaemine, Antares, Brelshaza, and Nineveh, there are currently no queues at all. If you want to restart the game, you can play here most comfortably without switching to another region.
The servers of the newly added region Europe West are not included in the statistics. However, we assume that you will also only encounter limited queues here and you won’t have to wait too long, if at all, to play the new MMORPG.
How is the information perceived? On reddit, fans of Lost Ark express their disappointment in the thread regarding the still enormous queues. Especially the broken matchmaking frustrates many users, as they can’t even play properly, even when they finally log in.
As the matchmaking and the shop operate regionally, or rather do not operate, servers without queues face the exact same issues with endgame content as players on Asta, Kadan, and Co.
Furthermore, many people are complaining on reddit about an increasing number of bots and people who place items on their mice and keyboards to remain logged in, even though they are not actually there. Similar issues have already occurred in New World. Overall, the mood in the community is currently rather gloomy.

In this podcast, the MeinMMO team discusses how Lost Ark feels after 30, 60, and 120 hours.
What is special? Regarding the statistics, some are surprised that different servers have various peak times. This is despite the fact that most players likely play in the same time zone. For instance, Zinnervale peaks at around 15:30, while Thirian reaches its peak only around 19:00.
The worst time to queue on Asta, by the way, is around 16:30, right at the end of the workday.
What do you think of Lost Ark and its queues? Are you currently playing the game actively or can’t you, because you keep getting stuck in some queues, whether in matchmaking or logging in? We are curious about your opinion, please feel free to write it in the comments here at MeinMMO.
Nightingale is a new survival game being developed by former BioWare developers. Due to the prominent cast and the good reveal trailer, players have high hopes. It has now been revealed that the gaming giant Tencent also shares this interest. They have now directly purchased the entire studio.
What kind of game is this? Nightingale will be a survival game for PC set in a Victorian world inspired by the 19th century. In this world, elements of fantasy, steampunk, magic, and real history will be mixed.
You play as a Realmwalker, a mage who can travel between worlds. Your task is to seek a new home for humanity, as the old one is threatened by a massive catastrophe.
You will be able to build your own base and even collaborate with other players to create settlements to help each other.
You will be able to craft weapons and tools to aid in survival.
There will be a “nearly infinite number of fairy worlds” that you can explore and settle.
So far, everything suggests that it will be a pure PvE game.
When will the game be released? There is currently no official release date, but Nightingale is expected to enter Early Access sometime in 2022. Nothing is known yet about the payment model and the duration of Early Access. However, Tencent is strongly focused on free-to-play titles, but it is still unclear whether Nightingale will follow that model.
A first glimpse of the game can be seen in this trailer:

Trailer convinces fans, now Tencent buys the developer
How is the game being received so far? The announcement trailer for the game was released in December 2021 and has since gathered over 2.4 million views. Many players in the comments express their excitement about the chosen setting, the graphics shown so far, and the fact that former BioWare developers are working on the game.
The CEO of Inflexion Games is Aaryn Flynn, who served as General Manager for titles including Dragon Age and SWTOR. Leah Summers, Director of Production, and Tyler Lee, UI Director, were also previously active at BioWare for many years.
Additionally, the press release states that Improbable will continue to work with Inflexion Games, as their technology is still in use there.
Who is Tencent? Tencent is a vast tech company from China and one of the major publishers in gaming. They have developed games like PUBG Mobile and Arena of Valor. They also own well-known developers, including:
They also own stakes in several companies, including 80% of the developers of Path of Exile, 48% of Epic Games, 5% of Ubisoft, and 5% of Activision Blizzard. With Inflexion Games, they have now acquired a new studio for their portfolio.
Such a beautiful sight of Nightingale in the first screenshots.
What do you think of Nightingale? Is this a good step for the studio? And how do you feel about Tencent acquiring more gaming studios?
The acquisition of Inflexion Games will not create as much of a stir as other acquisitions in recent months. However, the purchase of Bungie by Sony promises some positive news for MMO fans:
