In FIFA 22 the new TOTW 22 is now available. Find out here which players made it into the Team of the Week this time.
What is the TOTW? Every week, the “Team of the Week” features the best players from real football equipped with enhanced Inform cards in FIFA 22. These cards have better ratings and typically generate a few more coins on the transfer market.
Additionally, special cards, such as the OTW cards, can receive upgrades with the TOTW.
How do you get TOTW cards? You can pull TOTW cards from packs, which requires a lot of luck. Alternatively, you can find the Inform cards on the FUT transfer market, but they cost a lot of money.
We show you how to get the necessary coins with our trading tips.
The TOTW 22 in FIFA 22 – All Inform Players
This is the TOTW 22: The strongest Inform card in the new Team of the Week 22 has been earned by Raheem Sterling with an overall rating of 90. The card boasts very high pace along with strong shooting and dribbling stats. Decent cards are also awarded to De Ligt (86), Reus (86), Visca (86), Fekir (86), and Mitrovic (86).
The featured player this week is Zaccagni from Lazio Rome, who receives a significant upgrade from 77 to 84.

The Bundesliga in the TOTW 22
Marco Reus had a strong game against Union Berlin and scored 2 goals. For this, he now receives his first Inform card in FUT 22, which has solid overall stats. The only area that could be better is the pace.
Benjamin Hübner from Hoffenheim also receives his first TOTW card. However, this is not really recommended. With a speed of 52, it should be hard to catch opposing strikers.
Ramy Bensebaini earns a solid LB card this week, which is more suited for beginner teams. The card has a good pace rating and solid defensive stats.
Gerrit Holtmann impressed with a strong performance against FC Bayern. However, his new card is unlikely to be found in many teams. Aside from his high pace, the winger has little attractive stats to offer.
In addition to the TOTW, you can currently acquire Future Stars cards in FIFA 22. Furthermore, Future Stars tokens are hidden in FUT, which you can exchange for rewards. We will show you where exactly to find the tokens here.

In League of Legends, the new Patch 12.4 went live today, Wednesday, February 16th. The update mainly introduces the new, rather mean LoL champion Renata Glasc. Riot Games is also taking initial steps to curb the “Supporter Top-Lane” strategy, which many find frustrating.
What kind of new champion is this? Today, the new champion Renata Glasc has been launched: She is a supporter. But unlike most supporters in LoL, who are sweet, squeaky, and nice, Renata Glasc is a grumpy and cynical capitalist.
Her meanest trick is “Hostile Takeover”; she can pit enemies against each other.
The gameplay concept of the new champion and especially her background have already been extensively celebrated before the release. Players see her as a welcome addition to LoL, an “older, muscular lady” – something that has been missing so far. And the idea of mowing down one’s own team also seems to appeal to many.
Start video
Today the pre-season 2022 starts in LoL – Here are the most important innovations in the video
What is this strategy that is annoying? In the last patch, a new meta especially established itself on the top lane, playing supporter Janna with the summoner spell Smite. The champion was rarely seen on the top lane but roamed around the lanes and was also found in the jungle.
Normally, a champion in LoL cannot simply neglect their lane, as they would miss out on too much gold and fall behind. However, with supporter items that grant passive gold and new mechanics, this strategy has now become possible.
Pros like Alphari complained about this strategy – for real top laners, who are used to playing tanks, it was inconceivable to now choose such an “improper strategy” and mess around as a supporter.
Strategy Oversteps Boundaries of What Constitutes a ‘Healthy Measure’
This is how Riot Games wants to curb it: With today’s patch, Riot Games is taking action against the strategy. It is said to “overstep the healthy measure”; something they want to observe in early game incursions.
They also announced that they will take stronger measures against this playstyle in future patches. It is stated: “The problem definitely requires a concrete solution.”
Initially, there are these changes:
GOLD VALUE BOUNTIES: Gold value bounties (i.e., bounties for CS) are now based on the number of gold-earning items for supporters in each team, rather than assuming that each team has one of these items.
OBJECTIVE BOUNTIES: Enemy gold leads now lead to significantly less frequent activated objective bounties when your team has at least two gold-earning items.
TRIBUTE/LOOT (PASSIVE) – PENALTY FOR FARMING MINIONS: You receive less gold for excessive (4 minions per minute) ⇒ (2 minions per minute until minute 5; thereafter 4 minions per minute) minion kills. This gold penalty is now also tightened during the first 5 minutes of the game. (Everything else unchanged)
You can read the full list of all changes with all nerfs and buffs in the sources.

On February 28, End of Dragons, the new expansion for the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 will be released. However, many features sounded rather unimpressive to MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch. Just before the release, the Jade-Bots were announced. They are really making him excited.
Much of the new expansion of Guild Wars 2 sounds like a “more of the same”. There are new areas, a new story, new elite specializations, and new world events. The only real novelty on paper so far was: fishing.
Personally, that was too little for me. Every expansion of Guild Wars 2 had a real highlight. In Heart of Thorns, it was the gliders, which gave the MMORPG a whole new verticality, and with Path of Fire the mounts, which are the best that the genre has to offer.
Fishing is okay, but there are clearly better systems in the genre. Additionally, fishing is basically only connected to crafting and the achievement system. And it’s not really an innovative feature either.
My colleague Mark Sellner was even so disappointed that he complained about it in an article:
But luckily, ArenaNet has now announced the Jade-Bots. The little helpers bring me cool side effects and can be improved over time. It’s a feature that finally generates a bit of hype for End of Dragons.
Who is speaking here? Alexander Leitsch has been playing Guild Wars 2 intensively for years and has logged more than 8,000 hours since the release. He has played every story, seen every raid, collected over 35,000 achievement points, and has even been a shoutcaster in PvP. He also invested over 10,000 hours in the predecessor, Guild Wars 1.
Useful companions and finally a task for jewelers
The Jade-Bots are cute robots that come with various useful functions. To use them, you need an energy core. This is displayed in a new tab in the hero menu and can be crafted by jewelers and even sold at the trading post. That alone is good news:
The jeweler has been the weakest and least interesting profession in the game so far. Like the scribe, it can only be leveled up to level 400. The other seven professions have already unlocked level 500 and can craft ascended items. Finally, he has something to do!
Since the energy core is tradeable, it can also be acquired by players who do not own the expansion. This is important to ensure that there is no gameplay advantage for buyers of End of Dragons.
The energy core has various levels from 1 to 10. However, you also need to level the corresponding mastery to improve your energy core. For a core of levels 9 and 10, you need the highest mastery.
The energy core brings various bonuses and increases your vitality depending on the level of the energy core and the mastery.
For example, you get a boost when gliding, higher speed when riding, or your Jade-Bot will revive you when you have died. The companion even carries its own waypoint that you can place freely.
Start video
Guild Wars 2 introduces new companions that can even revive you
Besides the energy core, each Jade-Bot has two equipment slots:
The “Sensor Array” serves to give you a bonus. This includes additional metal or wood when gathering, but also converting unwanted materials into currencies. This is similar to items like Mauldrey or the ascended star.
The second slot deals with so-called “Service Chips”. These improve the effects of your Jade-Bot. For example, the cooldown on the reviving ability is reduced, or you glide a bit higher with the boost.
Furthermore, at certain locations in the world, you can take control of your Jade-Bot using a console and fly around like a drone. A cool idea.
And the best part is: The Bots only appear when they are actually being used. This prevents dozens of companions from suddenly flying around, as was the case previously with animal companions and mini pets on the ground. Here, ArenaNet really thought it through.
While I have previously been quite skeptical of End of Dragons and its innovations, the Jade-Bots are really making me excited. What do you think of the new feature? Does it have the potential to be the best innovation of the expansion?
For those who want to learn more about the general contents of the expansion, here is everything important:
The Bot is unlocked through a story mission, so you won’t miss it at the start of End of Dragons.
Like with a drone, you can fly through the world and interact with things (image via YouTube).
A companion for leveling, exploring, and loving
For me, the Jade-Bots are the big highlight because they offer many possibilities:
I have a new task in crafting and leveling the masteries
I can unlock various boosters and bonuses
I have to make decisions for my playstyle, such as whether I need a boost for my mount or prefer to set my own waypoint in the open world
Additionally, the drone version has immense potential, such as for hidden achievements or puzzles that I can only solve by utilizing the drone version in between. For example, one could open a locked door by having the Jade-Bot find a secret switch. The possibilities here are virtually endless.
And the best part is: The Bots only appear when they are actually being used. This prevents dozens of companions from suddenly flying around, as was the case previously with animal companions and mini pets on the ground. Here, ArenaNet really thought it through.

Traders can provide you with all sorts of useful items in Dying Light 2. However, they often ask for hefty prices or rare items in exchange. One player has now discovered how to save properly – although it doesn’t look entirely legal.
What kind of trick is this? In itself, the trick is quite simple: You select an item you want to buy and move the cursor over it. Then you switch the tab to another category without moving the cursor.
This way, you have selected a cheaper item, for example, some component. Hold down the button/key to buy and switch back to the item you want just before the transaction.
The base price in money will still be deducted from you, but exchange items like trophies will not. This is shown by reddit user pyryii97 in his short clip where he tried the trick with blueprints:

How do I save time with this? The blueprints that pyryii97 bought actually require trophies from infected. As seen in the video, he doesn’t have these, but still gets the blueprints. You need blueprints to upgrade your items and tools, for example, the extremely useful grappling hook.
The trophies are rare, sometimes random drops from enemies. It can take many hours to farm the corresponding items for upgrading a blueprint. One user jokingly commented under the post: ‘You mean, I don’t have to farm 25,000 zombies for fully upgraded blueprints? WOWEE!’
While money remains an issue, as other users point out, the time savings are very welcome. Nobody has time for the grind, so this trick comes in handy – even if it probably isn’t entirely allowed.
“Trick” is apparently a bug – But is it also forbidden?
The trick is apparently a bug that is being exploited. Such a thing is called an “exploit” and is looked down upon by players in most online games, often even punished with bans by the developers.
We cannot guarantee that there is no penalty for exploiting game mechanics in Dying Light 2. If you want to be completely sure, you should avoid using this trick. However, Dying Light 2 is a very different type of game than, for example, Call of Duty.

In general, exploiting bugs in single-player games and games without competitive elements is not punished. Bugs are simply removed later, and corresponding exploits will no longer work. Players have already found other tricks of this kind, such as how to open locks without lockpicks – although it’s unclear if this is actually a bug.
The developers themselves come from a time when cheat codes and console commands were common, and these could even be found in popular magazines. They have included a secret developer room where there are unfair items available, which some players already see as cheating:

You want to play Lost Ark, but you don’t have the right hardware for it? MeinMMO introduces you to the cheapest PC if you want to play the MMO hit.
What is Lost Ark? Lost Ark is currently the most successful MMORPG on Steam. The gameplay is very similar to Diablo III, but it offers you a true MMORPG experience with dungeons, raids, and PvP elements.
Lost Ark is a huge success on Steam with over 1 million players simultaneously. Due to this great success, many users want to start playing the MMORPG Lost Ark.
Where can you play Lost Ark? Currently, you can only play Lost Ark on PC. So if you only have a smartphone or play only on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, you cannot enjoy it yet.
MeinMMO presents in this article how much money you need to spend if you want to buy a PC for Lost Ark.

The cheapest PC for Lost Ark currently costs around 500 euros
What are the system requirements for Lost Ark? MeinMMO has already introduced you to the system requirements of Lost Ark. The hurdle is lower with an Intel i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 / AMD HD6850 than with other MMORPGs.
What is the cheapest PC for Lost Ark? Depending on the offer, the cheapest PC that can run Lost Ark smoothly costs around 500 euros. For 500 to 600 euros, you can already get a computer with Ryzen 5 5600G and, ideally, even 16 GB of RAM.
The following PCs are already fully equipped and offer you both a hard drive and a pre-installed Windows 10/11. The second model is currently 15 euros more expensive but is more future-proof with 16 GB RAM than the model with only 8 GB.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
With the Ryzen 5 5600G, you can play Lost Ark smoothly on medium settings at around 40 FPS in Full HD. High settings are also possible, where you still reach nearly 40 FPS. You cannot play on full settings with the Ryzen 5 5600G; the Vega-7 graphics unit is too weak for that.
You can also see how the game looks on a Ryzen 5 5600G in a YouTube video.

The YouTube video shows how Lost Ark runs on a Ryzen 5 5600G.
Is it worth building the PC yourself? At this current time, with high hardware prices, you are often better off buying a pre-built PC. Furthermore, when it comes to the motherboard, you need to make sure that the motherboard supports Ryzen 5000 or at least has an update available.
The price for a Windows license can fluctuate quite a bit, depending on whether you buy a key directly from Microsoft or from a third-party vendor.
To compare, we have listed the prices for the hardware that you currently (as of February 16, 2022) would have to pay:
Older hardware, such as the Ryzen 5 2400G, is available cheaper when used, but you need to keep in mind that you cannot officially install Windows 11 on it. Therefore, you should check the supported processors directly from Microsoft before purchasing a processor.
Do I need a graphics card for Lost Ark? In the entry-level range, computers mainly rely on a special combo solution. These are processors (CPUs) that also provide a graphics chip.
A separate graphics card is therefore not installed; instead, an additional chip on the CPU is used. AMD refers to these processors as APUs, and you can recognize these processors by the “G” in the processor title. So you don’t need a “real” graphics card if you want to play games like Lost Ark.
Especially for older games, performance on such a processor with a graphics chip is still quite good. You can find more games that also have low hardware requirements in the following article directly on MeinMMO:
More alternatives if you don’t want to invest much money in new hardware
For example, you can try streaming services if you want to play Lost Ark. Here you pay a monthly fee and don’t need special hardware to play Lost Ark. However, there are still a few restrictions you need to consider.
Alternatively, you can also hope for the Steam Deck. This is a handheld device from Valve, on which you can play Steam games. The Steam Deck is like a mobile gaming PC. However, there are also a few restrictions and questions regarding Lost Ark just before the release of the Steam Deck:

The well-known streamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa is known on Twitch for her openness and revealing content. She rarely shies away from anything and often has a fitting quote ready. This is also demonstrated by the Twitch streamer in her latest video, where she verbally annihilates a bunch of her Twitch colleagues.
Who is Amouranth?
Amouranth started to become particularly known after she began her “Hot Tub” streams. While doing so, she sits in a pool and writes names on her body or the banana she occasionally sits on.
What happened? Amouranth released a video on YouTube, in which she gives Twitch colleagues Asmongold, HasanAbi, and Ninja a good verbal bashing.
Amouranth in the street fight against her Twitch colleagues
What is the video about? Siragusa has created a ranking of who she could defeat in a street fight or not. From 100% winning to 100% losing, there are various subcategories. She then sorts the given streamers into the ranking and has a few wicked remarks on her lips.

This is what Amouranth says about Ninja: When she moves Ninja into the “100% win” category, she says:
I would win 100% because Ninja doesn’t play with women. He would just leave the arena. I don’t even have to try. I would just stand there and his [Ninja’s] wife would sue me.
No question, I would lose 100%. And not because he is much bigger than me or probably much stronger, but because I am a woman and he would probably cheat on me.
With that, Amouranth touched on an old drama involving Dr Disrespect, as he reportedly cheated on his wife with 4 other women (via YouTube).
This is what Amouranth says about Asmongold:
I think I would give him a good beating. Asmongold plays WoW all day, and I respect the effort, but his grind doesn’t really give him time for fitness. Compared to me, I stream fitness daily (…)
Asmongold is one of the biggest MMORPG players on Twitch and streams an average of 10 hours daily.
I think I would give Hasan a good beating. Not that I think I would actually be able to beat up Hasan. But I think that because Hasan is a simp and he would probably enjoy it if I did.

With Season 2, 2 new weapons came to Call of Duty: Warzone, and especially the new assault rifle KG M40 stands out with its buttery smooth gameplay. MeinMMO shows you advantages, disadvantages, and a tested setup.
Season 2 brought a lot of weapon changes, new content, and 2 fresh guns to Call of Duty: Warzone – possibly a good time for you to switch your favorite rifle again.
If you mainly play Vanguard Royale, we now want to recommend the new KG M40 to you. The weapon is extremely stable, allows for a variety of setups and rocks even in regular Battle Royale.
MeinMMO gives you an overview of the weapon and presents a tested setup.
CoD Warzone: KG M40 setup is a precision tool
What does a strong setup look like? One of the advantages of the new assault rifle KG M40: you can easily create your own setups and almost always get a usable weapon out of it.
Only one attachment is essential: the perk “Tight Grip”.
The weapon is already very stable in its base version and plays wonderfully. This leaves you plenty of room for attachment experiments to suit your playstyle.
If you’re not a fan of experiments, then go with the setup of the Warzone YouTuber “P4wnyhof”:
CoD Warzone: KG M40 Setup
Muzzle: Recoil Booster
Barrel: Reisdorf 720mm Shrouded
Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope
Stock: Krausnich V12
Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
Magazine: 8mm Klauser 60 Round Drum
Ammunition: Lengthened
Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
Perk: Tight Grip
Perk 2: Fully Loaded
Attachments in English
Muzzle: Recoil Booster
Barrel: Reisdorf 720mm Shrouded
Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope
Stock: Krausnich V12
Underbarrel: M1940 Hand Stop
Magazine: 8mm Klauser 60 Round Drum
Ammunition: Lengthened
Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
Perk: Tight Grip
Perk 2: Fully Loaded
What makes the KG M40 so good? Particularly strong is the very low visual recoil of the KG M40. If you equip “Tight Grip”, the sight hardly moves while firing.
This allows you to attach very large sights to the assault rifle and you still hit your target even at high zoom levels. That’s why the large “3x to 6x” scope is worth it.
Additionally, there’s the relaxed horizontal recoil. The KG M40 hardly jumps left to right while firing, but has a very predictable recoil pattern that drifts slightly to the right.
Where does the KG M40 not perform so well? In terms of damage, the assault rifle cannot keep up with stable alternatives from CoD MW or Cold War.
It’s a weapon where almost every shot hits – but such guns also exist in the old CoD titles. And they sometimes have better time-to-kill rates in Warzone.
Looking at Vanguard Royale alone, the situation is different. With its low recoil and high chance of hitting your shots, it belongs to the top tier selection.
If you want to see gameplay of the KG M40 setup, we embed the video from Warzone YouTuber “P4wnyhof” here:

In Destiny 2, a deceptive Witch Queen has managed to convince both returning players and newcomers. For those who are still unsure, MeinMMO checks it out and reveals what the space shooter has to offer.
Many gamers have followed the recent releases of Destiny 2 with interest. The trailers for the upcoming expansion are indeed impressive, and Savathun herself is an interesting opponent with potential for cunning twists.
Is it worth starting fresh or returning now? Not all players are convinced by Destiny 2, and one often reads negative opinions from bitter players. Nevertheless, Destiny 2 continues to be a massive success, as shown by the now over a million pre-orders.
Savathun awaits the players – and no one knows what she has planned for the past 7 years.
A few years ago, Destiny was not the best game on the market. However, a lot has changed since Destiny 1. The studio has never let go of its fate project and has continuously put great passion into its development. Destiny 2 is now considered one of the best loot adventure shooters in the industry, and the reasons for that are simple.
The gunplay in Destiny 2 is unique. Each weapon feels and sounds different.
Destiny 2 has a number of incredible storylines that continue to evolve and change, including unexpected surprises. Expansions and seasons regularly bring fresh wind into the game.
The shooter has a beautifully designed world that can be explored alone or with friends (cross-platform).
Buy or play Free-to-Play?
Free-to-Play via New Light is a good first entry into the game. Bungie has reworked the introductory mission for Witch Queen. Compared to previous years, getting into the game has never been easier than it is now. The first mission is a boot camp where Bungie teaches new players their skills.
In the meantime, players can look around and start exploring the massive world. This way, they can quickly find out if they like the gameplay style of Destiny 2 or not.
In the free version, playlists such as Crucible (PvP), Strikes (PvE), and Gambit (PvPvE) can be tried out. Even a legacy raid from Destiny 1 is accessible for free.
Challenging opponents for brave Guardians.
This is what the paid versions contain: However, anyone looking for a good story should consider a purchase. Through Free-to-Play, players miss some of the best stories of Destiny 2 as well as many seasonal content and inspiring feats.
Specific exotics are also only accessible through the paid DLCs and seasons. Purchasing then offers the possibility to obtain better and faster equipment. At the same time, players gain access to higher-level content in all challenges and available raids.
Unique Gameplay and Weapons
This has never changed in Destiny: The unique and excellent gunplay and gameplay in Destiny has always been a highlight of the game.
In Destiny 2, every gun is slightly different, and you can feel it in the gameplay with the weapon handling and the detailed design.
Weapon designs are unique, including sound and sights.
Weapons come equipped with one of various masterwork benefits. They can drop with different perks. Armor can also be farmed with different stats, such as intellect or strength, allowing players to search for rolls that fit their playstyle. Until now, this was mostly random with weapons.
In Witch Queen, everyone gets their Godroll: With the new weapon crafting in Witch Queen, it becomes more personal. This means players are now able to shape their personal weapon Godroll. This will require some grind, but in the end, every player knows what they get for their efforts in-game.
Players who enjoy challenges can also earn special weapons and armor. This includes the time-lost raid weapons or the master weapons from PvE/PvP activities as well as improved armor from the dungeon.
Dark places to find and discover.
Crossplay – everyone can join
Many activities have a player search, but overall it is more fun to have a fixed team to go with. Being able to coordinate is also useful in more challenging difficulties and makes it easier.
You can find, invite or make new friends thanks to crossplay – the system is called “Bungie Friends”.
Destiny 2 offers fireteam finders on Bungie.net and via the official companion app.
Cross-platform text and voice chat is also available.
The missions in Destiny 2 are worth seeing.
Of course, you can also play Destiny 2 solo: Anyone who wants can easily play Destiny 2 solo. However, you’re never alone for long. Players find other guardians for specific activities through the automatic player search and progress that way.
There are also specific quests, missions, and challenges for which you need a team, such as raids or dungeons.
Especially in team play, Destiny 2 tends to play a little bit of space magic. Sometimes you fight solo in PvP against another guardian, and after a little chat, you end up gaming together every night. Others meet guardians in the large game world who then become good friends. The clans in Destiny 2 are also a point of contact for players who want to join a team.
The new location of Savathun’s Throne World
What makes Witch Queen better?
In recent months, Bungie has changed a lot that will shape the future of the game. They have learned from the last expansion. Savathun will therefore be a new caliber of foes in Witch Queen, compared to Eramis in Beyond Light. Players will also be able to discover and use some new things.
In addition to new equipment, a new weapon type is introduced: the glaive.
Along with the champions, Savathun brings a new army: the “Radiant Brood”. She will use the Light as a super weapon, just like the players.
All Light abilities will receive an overhaul, in Witch Queen, players will start with Void 3.0. Solar and Arc will follow by the end of the Witch Queen year.
Bungie brings more gunplay. Good weapons will become more important. Players can forge their own Godrolls.
It will be dark and mysterious, as the new Throne World offers not only a new location but also the “Deep Sight Resonance” ability.
New puzzles and secrets will be revealed. In Witch Queen, players will discover what Savathun has meticulously planned for the last 7 years.
Every three months there will be a new raid or a new dungeon.
With Witch Queen, several outstanding engine updates are also coming into the game, as Nate Hawbaker, Technical Art Lead, revealed at a press event to MeinMMO.
New players should dive into the story now
Bungie itself has called the expansion Witch Queen the optimal time to start into Destiny 2. Because now, the actual story of the game is picking up speed. After Witch Queen, players can expect two more expansions: Lightfall and The Final Shape. Anyone who wants to know what the Traveler is and what it means with Light and Darkness should dive in right now.
For new players, Witch Queen is also an ideal starting point. Bungie has summarized relevant story parts in various trailers and better supports new players to understand the world starting February 22. The Witch Queen campaign, starting February 22, is also meant to provide a good entry point for all future events.

Once you have done that, you will receive the spray. To get the pickaxe and the wrap, you need to place in the top 10 of 20 different matches.
To receive the emote, you must vote for one of the creative maps listed on the registered Epic Games page. Choose one and submit your choice. Additionally, you must play one of the listed modes. After that, you will also receive the emote.

The developers behind World of Warcraft want to relieve player frustration. Rare event mounts will likely become easier to obtain in the future.
In World of Warcraft, there are several hundred mounts. Some can be obtained from vendors, while others are rare drops from certain enemies. However, the most frustrating category consists of mounts that drop from specific enemies, which are only available for a few days each year, like the X-45 Heartbreaker rocket from the Valentine’s event. Blizzard acknowledges this frustration – and aims to change it.
What is the problem with the mount? The X-45 Heartbreaker (formerly “Pink Love Rocket”) is one of the rarest mounts in the game. This is due not only to the low drop rate but also to the fact that the mount can only be farmed during 2 weeks each year – specifically during the Valentine’s event.
The mount can only be obtained by characters above level 50.
The reward chest containing the mount can only be earned once per character each day.
The drop chance for the mount is 0.03% – meaning a chance of 1 in 3333.
The result of these figures is that many players now have several hundreds or even thousands of visits to the event boss and still do not possess the rocket.
The X-45 Heartbreaker – some are trying it countless times.
Moreover, the task is not only monotonous but also requires a significant time investment. Anyone visiting the event boss on 20, 30, or even all 50 characters of their account day after day must plan for 2-4 hours of playtime – and that daily.
What should change? There are no concrete changes yet. However, WoW developer Chimes has expressed his thoughts on the issue in the official WoW forum and shared his own experiences:
Yes, it’s no fun. I have done the event several dozen times a day on my characters over the past years and would probably do it again this year if I didn’t have so much real-life stuff to do.
Currently, if you want to maximize your chances of getting the mount, it’s in your best interest to do the event every day on as many characters as possible. While this is mathematically correct, it’s not a pleasant experience.
We hear your frustration, and the good news is that we are currently discussing this issue in the team and looking for possible solutions for holiday events in general. The bad news is that even if we implement changes, they will not arrive in time for this year’s “Love is in the Air” event.
It seems clear: developers want to find ways to mitigate mount frustration in the future. Possible solutions proposed by the community include:
A generally higher drop rate of 3% or more.
The mount as a purchasable reward for event tokens.
A “Bad Luck Protection” that gradually increases the drop chance.
Which of these solutions will come – or whether it will ultimately be something entirely different – remains to be seen.
More updates about World of Warcraft can be found here:
Not everyone is happy: However, there are negative voices in response to the announcement. Some players are already upset that they have farmed the mount for years and are worried that it will soon be practically “thrown out”. They feel robbed of their accomplishments – a devaluation of such a rare mount would occur.
Of course, this is not live yet, and it will likely not happen before the next major patch.

In Lost Ark there is a debate that female characters are almost exclusively designed to be sexy. Top streamer Asmongold sees hypocrisy here, as according to him, male heroes are also total models. His own “Giga-Chad” character is the best example.
Furthermore, the animations of the female characters while running look quite silly.
Moreover, it is criticized that all the male characters are fully clothed and their armors actually look like armor and not just hotpants and tight tops.
This, however, is vehemently contradicted by the famous streamer Asmongold.
“My hero is a giant, 2-meter tall Giga-Chad!”
This is what Asmongold says: Asmongold, who himself eagerly plays and streams Lost Ark, has a problem with the debate about too much sexualization and objectification in Lost Ark. According to him, the male heroes are equally affected. In a slightly angry speech in his stream, he says:
https://youtu.be/6hNa1j6rWF0
I find it strange that it is somehow perfectly fine and not even questioned that my character looks like a Mr. Olympia. He is a gigantic bodybuilder with a perfect head of hair. He is a giant 2-meter tall Giga-Chad.
At the moment a female character has more than D-cup breasts, people say: “Oh my god, can we stop with the objectification?” Hey, keep your mouth shut!
His hero, according to Asmongold, is just as exaggerated a conglomerate of displayed [male] attractiveness attributes as the female characters in the game. Therefore, this whole debate about too much sexiness and objectification is hypocritical.

Rather, he explained in another stream that he cannot imagine embodying a female character in the game. He would rather have a visual representation of himself in the game, even if this requires some work in the gym.
So much for Asmongold’s opinion on the whole debate about sexualization and objectification in Lost Ark. What is your opinion on the topic? Let us know in the comments.
All of Europe is playing Lost Ark. All of Europe? No! 2 unyielding countries inhabited by judges continue to resist the MMORPG. And right now, while Lost Ark is the hottest game on Steam.
What about Lost Ark?
Since February 8, Lost Ark has been playable for pre-order customers and since February 11 in the Free2Play version. Despite ongoing server problems, the game is a huge success.
In Europe, the game is so popular that the servers are completely overloaded and new ones need to be set up. Only in 2 countries are fans not allowed to play.
Where is Lost Ark banned? In Belgium and the Netherlands, Lost Ark is officially banned. This has been known since November 2021. This is particularly hard for gamers in these countries now.
Because Lost Ark is one of the biggest releases of recent times and obviously incredibly popular. Almost the entire editorial team at MeinMMO is playing the new MMORPG. Tough luck for the players of our neighboring countries, as a law is getting in the way.
Start video
New video about Lost Ark shows what makes the free MMORPG special
Belgium and the Netherlands without the new top MMORPG
Why is Lost Ark banned there? Belgium and the Netherlands have stricter laws regarding gambling. Since 2017, the law has also applied to loot boxes in video games, as was the case in the case of Overwatch and Battlefront II.
As a consequence, developers and publishers had to either change their model and largely refrain from loot boxes, or prevent the release in these countries. This is what has happened with Lost Ark.
No specific statement exists on which content the release fails. In the Lost Ark shop, there are jewel boxes and card packs that contain random items, which could be the reason.
For certain items, there is even a warning at the bottom of the screen in the shop.
The same has already happened to Bless Unleashed in 2021. Here too, the loot box rule spoiled the fun for fans. Whether anything will change regarding the system, at least in Belgium and the Netherlands, we cannot say at this time.
Lost Ark is actually free to play, but it is accompanied by a cash shop and premium content that grant certain advantages. Paying players, for example, have less cooldown on certain spells or need to pay less silver for some services. There is also a discussion about the unpopular login queues:
Roblox is still a hit with many children. However, the sandbox gaming platform has its problems. A new report reveals that shameless hackers are roaming there, targeting gullible kids and unashamedly scamming them. Find out here on MeinMMO how the hackers operate.
What is Roblox? Roblox is a kind of game-building kit. It looks like a mix of Lego and Minecraft, which is why it is particularly popular with children. Especially during the Corona pandemic, Roblox achieved great success. Users can create their own games via Roblox or play the creations of the community.
Everything is possible: From shooters, racing games, puzzle games, adventures, RPGs to MMOs. Among the most popular titles on Roblox are:
Murder Mystery 2 – A fun co-op horror game
Jailbreak – A game in the style of “Cops and Robbers”
Natural Disaster Survival – A survival game with a disaster theme
Scuba Diving at Quill Lake – It’s about recovering treasures during dives
Theme Park Tycoon 2 – A theme park building game
Work at a Pizza Place – Here you have to manage a pizzeria
If you want to cosmetically adjust your avatar or buy special pets, you need the in-game currency Robux. You can buy it with real money. However, it is also possible to sell virtual items in a shop.
And that’s exactly why hackers are targeting the accounts of kids in Roblox.

Since virtual items can be sold well – a funny hat has already earned over $13,000 in the shop – more and more hackers are trying to obtain kids’ items in Roblox using all available methods.
The site Vice has researched in this area and contacted both victims and perpetrators. Hackers are referred to as “Beamers” in the Roblox community. The fact that there is a specific term for them indicates that the problem is quite significant.
The Beamers use a wide range of nasty hacker tricks to fool their victims. The fact that they are dealing with children who often act more naively and cluelessly than adults makes it particularly easy for them. Common tactics used by hackers include:
Deceptively realistic phishing sites
Sim swapping
Fake PayPal screens
Extracting .HAR files

Deceptively realistic phishing sites: In Discord forums, Beamers often share links that initially look like an official Roblox site. However, if you log in with your credentials, the hacker obtains your username and password.
Sim swapping: Those who think they are protected from hackers through 2FAA may be in for a surprise. Some hackers use this technique to impersonate the actual owner of a mobile number to the provider and obtain a SIM card, which they then use to bypass 2FAA. The necessary data for this identity theft is then discovered by hackers through phishing.
Fake PayPal screens: Even if you try to recover the account, clever hackers are one step ahead and use fake screenshots of PayPal accounts to convince support that they are indeed the legitimate owners of the account.
Extracting .HAR files: One tactic that works particularly well with kids is to contact them and ask for help with a project. Alternatively, one might compliment them for how pretty or cool their avatar is and offer to make it even better.
For this, they only need a specific file from the game, which they should please share. However, this .HAR file contains login information, and although Roblox explicitly warns against sharing the file, gullible kids often fall for it.
The hackers are often ruthless and deliberately hunt for victims. One Beamer tells Vice that he specifically targets Discords where “rich fools” are found. He then contacts all of them, and someone will eventually fall for it and share sensitive data with him.
What can be done about it? If you have been affected and hackers have your data, they can cause significant damage, and Roblox support only offers one rollback per account in case of item losses. However, they are aware of the issues and are working on further solutions:
We have spent over a decade building a robust security system and policies that we are proud of and continuously improve as our community grows. In particular, the Roblox InfoSec team actively searches various sources for threat information, monitors malicious activities, and takes appropriate action.
In general, it is advisable not to share any personal information and also not to click on seemingly official links in Discord and similar platforms.
Also, dubious emails from the Roblox team should always be double-checked, especially if they contain links. Above all, parents should sensitively educate and inform their children.
The disaster surrounding Battlefield 2042 has forced EA to conduct a failure analysis. In an internal meeting on February 15, officials from the publisher reportedly discussed for about 20 minutes what caused the shooter’s failure. MeinMMO tells you the conclusion they reached.
After the disappointing launch of Battlefield 2042, the game has never been able to recover. Hundreds of thousands of players demand a refund in a petition, even cheat providers have given up on the shooter.
In a conference earlier this month, EA has already commented on the catastrophic state of Battlefield 2042. According to trusted insider Tom Henderson, there was again an internal meeting among the responsible parties at EA. After about 20 minutes of error analysis, they supposedly reached a conclusion.
The reasons behind the disaster of Battlefield 2042 include the pandemic, the surprisingly early launch of Halo Infinite, and PC gamers with excessively high expectations.

PC gamers with high performance expectations were identified as culprits
What was discussed internally at EA? Laura Miele, Chief Studios Officer at EA, led the internal discussion about Battlefield 2042. She reportedly stated that while EA had been successful in the past and present, it is “really important to admit when we make mistakes.” One of those mistakes is Battlefield 2042, “which did not meet the expectations of our players and also significantly missed our own expectations.”
In the eyes of EA officials, several reasons are said to be the cause of the catastrophic state of Battlefield 2042.
Unfortunate PC gamers are the reason for the failure: One of the factors that led to the failure of Battlefield 2042 is the Frostbite engine. Due to its outdated technology, it had to be fundamentally renewed for Battlefield 2042 to run on it. This update alone reportedly took over 18 months of development time.
Along with these engine problems came performance issues, which imposed a performance limit on PC gamers. This is said to have led to poor Steam reviews for the game, as affected players with good PCs found these restrictions “frustrating.”
These poor Steam reviews from disgruntled PC gamers with high performance expectations are thus partially responsible for the negative sentiment surrounding Battlefield 2042 since its release.
EA states: The number of bugs would have been acceptable, then came Halo Infinite
Halo Infinite is also said to be a reason: Competition from Microsoft is said to have disrupted EA and Battlefield 2042’s plans. Although early patches reportedly improved the bugs, the surprisingly early release of Halo Infinite cast a negative light on Battlefield 2042.
As Tom Henderson writes in his article:
According to EA, however, things took a turn, and that turn was the surprisingly early release of the “Halo Infinite” multiplayer ([Tom Henderson:] I wish that were a joke).
According to Miele, the comparison between the two games was unfavorable because Halo Infinite was a very polished title while Battlefield 2042 contained bugs and was not as polished.
While EA admitted that DICE games repeatedly had bugs and that Battlefield 2042 had them before and at release, the number of bugs in the latest Battlefield was “within expectations.”
It was assumed that DICE could adapt the game in live service by communicating with players and the community. However, Miele admitted that player expectations for live service games have changed. It was not the right decision to hold on to the presumably low standards of DICE compared to earlier games.
Fundamental problems of the game were only briefly mentioned
Another reason for the failure of Battlefield 2042 is said to be the pandemic. Regarding this, Miele is said to have stated:
When you combine all these new innovations and the ambition for the new project with a global pandemic in the middle of the project, where the game teams had to work from home, then we had more new variables in development than ever before.
However, the problems that primarily annoy the community regarding Battlefield 2042 were hardly mentioned. The oversized and boring maps, the specialists, the scoreboard, or voice chat were only briefly touched upon. In this context, reference was made to the promised improvements.
Whether these improvements will be sufficient remains to be seen. Season 1 of the shooter, which was released in November, is not expected to start until summer. Whether the game will still have enough players by then remains the big question. In some regions of the world, the low player count is causing curious issues:
In the MMORPG Lost Ark, extremely long queues are forming due to the high demand. What do you think: Should “premium users” be able to get into the game faster in such queues, or not?
This is the situation: Already during the Early Access phase, the servers of Lost Ark were overrun by players, and since the release of the Free2Play version, the number has doubled again.
About a million players are now active on the servers daily, causing massive queues sometimes between 17,000 and 20,000 players – especially on popular servers like the unofficial German Lost Ark server “ASTA” there are these huge queues. As a result, it often takes hours to log in and play a little.
And the queues start forming as early as 2:00 – 3:00 PM. So, those who want to play for a few hours after work around 6:00 or 7:00 PM have almost no chance on many servers.
Meanwhile, players during peak times even receive a message that they cannot even queue. An error message 10027 states that it is impossible due to the extremely high server load, and the game client closes automatically.
Accordingly, the frustration of many players despite promises and gifts from Amazon is great. Fans who were looking forward to the MMORPG or have even spent larger sums of money on it express their dissatisfaction in forums or on social media.
For example, owners of the Founder’s Packs reported that they could hardly play due to the queues during Early Access. Thus, the debate has arisen in the community about whether paying players, such as owners of founder packs or Crystal Aura, should be prioritized during the queues or not.
You can vote here: You can cast your vote as usual in the poll box below. Everyone can vote only once, and you cannot undo the vote:
So tell us: What do you think about the prioritization of premium players? Is it fair because they pay for the game? Or should all have the same chances for logins in a Free2Play game? Or should a completely different system be introduced for that?
Write to us in the comments and tell us which option you would prefer.
The Twitch streamer Ironmouse breaks the record for the most subscribers by female streamers on Twitch. The twist? Unlike many other streamers, she hides her face behind a V-Tuber model. MeinMMO reports on how she accomplished this.
This is how Ironmouse’s streams run on Twitch:
She usually watches videos recommended to her or selects them herself with her viewers. The V-Tuber reacts to the content of the videos.
Additionally, she plays various games ranging from Apex Legends to Mario Kart to Resident Evil. Ironmouse has not committed to any specific game.
The streamer averages 12,000 viewers.
Ironmouse uses a V-Tuber model that represents a cute anime girl. She never shows herself or her body during the streams. It is even more astonishing that she is now the largest streamer on Twitch, as the prejudices against female streamers suggest something entirely different: Looking sexy, bare skin, and daring outfits attract viewers, nothing else.
How did she do it? Ironmouse is currently hosting an unlimited subathon that has earned her all the subs. So far, the streamer has about 75,650 subscribers and the subathon will continue for at least 18 more hours.
What is a subathon? A subathon is an event organized by the streamer in which viewers can give subs, donations, or bits to the streamer on Twitch. This extends a timer by a certain period that the streamer must stay live.
Ironmouse structures her subathon as follows: The marathon stream can be extended by 15 seconds in three ways:
1 Sub (equivalent to 3.99 Euros)
5 dollars
500 Bits (equivalent to 7.34 Euros)
The cheapest option is with a sub if you want to see the V-Tuber live longer.
Of course, the streamer also sleeps during such a marathon. Ironmouse even streams this, letting a repeat of the stream run in the background while her character lies asleep in a bed.
Ironmouse has the potential to surpass her male colleagues
Why could she even rise to the top? Only 2 other streamers are ahead of her on the list of the most subscribed Twitch channels: xQc and Casimito (via Twitch Tracker).
While xQc currently has 84,103 subscribers, Casimito has a total of 98,250 subscribers. Ironmouse is “only” 8,447 subs away from xQc, which doesn’t seem too unlikely since she still has at least 18 hours of streaming left.
She gains new subscribers every minute, which automatically extends the stream. So far, she has gained about 5,000 new subs per day. If the trend continues, she will only need 5 more days to surpass xQc and Casimito.
Whether that really happens remains to be seen.
What do you think of streams with V-Tubers? Have you perhaps seen a stream from Ironmouse? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
The fresh Season 2 brought a new method for quick weapon leveling to Call of Duty: Warzone. MeinMMO shows you how this works.
Season 2 arrived on February 14 for the free Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone and brought a host of innovations and balance adjustments.
Included was the Deathmatch mode “Clash” and it turns out that this large battle of two teams is excellently suited for weapon leveling. But you have to be quick – the mode won’t be in the game forever.
CoD Warzone: Level weapons quickly with Caldera Clash
How does the method work? For quick weapon leveling, follow this 3-point plan:
Activate a weapon XP token in the lobby
Start “Caldera Clash”
Use the bounty missions
Then hunt your bounty target or let the corresponding enemy be taken out by your team. Since this is a deathmatch, the chances are good that your task will be completed quickly.
If there are only a few bounty contracts on the map you are playing, grab other contracts. While it won’t be as fast as with bounties, it still grants considerable weapon XP.
How quickly do my weapons level up? The method was discovered by players on the discussion platform reddit (via reddit).
The thread creator writes that he was able to level up his weapon from level 1 to level 23 in a match. He didn’t even need to fire his weapon – his bounties were always taken out by teammates.
It is estimated that with this method, it takes less than an hour to bring a gun to max level.

Which actions grant weapon XP? If you want to go full on weapon XP, then limit yourself to the following actions:
Kills
Assist
Contracts
How long can I use this? If there is no nerf from the developers, then you can use the method until March 3. On that day, “Clash” will be removed from the playlist.
Some commentators write in the reddit thread, “Can you delete the post now before Raven sees it and nerfs it?”.
What does the method bring for the other leveling systems? You also receive a lot of XP for the other systems – if you are already leveling, then activate other XP tokens as well.
Then also open many loot boxes, spend your cash at buy stations, and loot everything you can find. If you only want weapon XP, focus on the bounties.
For months, Guardians have been waiting for the Worm Exorcism in Destiny 2. On February 16, it finally happened, and players could finally select the last mission in the Dreaming City. However, many had their excitement for a cutscene ruined when a bug skipped everything.
What ruined everything? The exorcism of the Witch Queen was initiated after a long wait. Many Guardians had been waiting for this event for months, but after the secret bridge to the event was completed, Mara and her Corsairs could finally begin.
But the anticipation for the event ended for many with a black screen. Impatient Guardians assigned to your fireteam simply skipped the last and most important cutscene of the season, causing a lot of frustration.
Update February 18, 2022:
Bungie has since commented more on the issues on Reddit. In a recent reddit post by Community Manager dmg04, it was reported that Bungie has already identified some causes of the bug, but will currently not release a hotfix for it. The reason is that they are in the final phase before Witch Queen and providing a hotfix could cause some “hitches.”
To help affected players complete the mission, the first step in the quest will now be automatically completed. This should allow players to access subsequent story dialogues without issues.
However, to complete the Triumph, the activity must still be finished. This completion should be triggered when players remain in the mission until the cutscene begins. The Community Manager requests that players do not manually end the mission after defeating the boss.
A bug that could have been prevented
In previous seasons, Bungie had already shown countless cutscenes for Guardians in other activities. However, these could not be skipped by anyone in the fireteam. But in the last mission, which should herald the next major DLC, it was possible again, and this “bug” ruined the experience for many. Many players were understandably upset about this.
In Season 12 with Crow, the sequence could not be skipped by others
Since Bungie had a lot of time to plan the exorcism and check for issues, it is not understood how this could happen.
What happened in the mission? The mission was a modified version of the Astral Alignment. You had to prepare a teleport. Then slip through a portal and protect three Corsairs from Mara Sov together with the 14th Holy.
Xivu Arath, the sister of the Witch Queen, sent many strong and well-known troops that also had to be fought in the Astral Alignment. Towards the end, her new champion appeared, who was forced to his knees after a few hard shots.
Once all the troops were defeated, the Awoken Queen continued with the “operation” and cut out the worm. Then the cutscene was initiated. After bright light effects, only the long-missed Osiris was left on a pile of crystal shards, but the Witch Queen disappeared.
What do the fans say? Players on Reddit expressed their frustration in the comments. They criticized the poor loot, but also the skipped cutscene (via. reddit). As a result, the Guardians were forced to replay the mission.
However, things like the number of Corsairs in the event were also criticized. In previous missions, Guardians had to free seven of the Awoken, but only three were involved in the ritual. The Guardian questions “Dakotahray” what the point was in saving so many.
In the end, the mission was a good conclusion for the longest season in Destiny 2 so far. Despite the bug, the mission was well received by many, and it significantly boosted the mood for Witch Queen.
What did you think of the ending of the Season of the Lost? Did you think the mission was well done, or did you also look at the pipes and miss the cutscene? Let us know!
