When it comes to the wishes of the player base of World of Warcraft, there are many ideas and suggestions that have accumulated over the years.
There are many suggestions and improvement ideas that players have brought up in World of Warcraft over the years. Some are often heatedly discussed, as rarely is every idea purely positive. One of these points is the idea of account-wide reputation. This would bring many benefits and make playing alternative characters easier. It is a desire that has been increasingly heard from the community in recent years. But is this really just a good idea?
What would account-wide reputation be? Account-wide reputation would essentially mean that players would only need to earn reputation with a faction on a single character. Once that character reaches the “Exalted” level, all other characters could also benefit from this reputation level and enjoy corresponding rewards and advantages.
What supports account-wide reputation? There are several arguments in favor of account-wide reputation. The most commonly cited argument is that farming reputation represents a significant barrier when a player has to play another character.
Those who have farmed all currently relevant reputation factions to exalted with their main character will think multiple times about whether this effort is justified for another character as well. Since farming reputation is generally associated with quite simple and often tedious grinds, this presents a massive hurdle.
This would not be a problem if the reputation factions were not tied to player power and only provided cosmetic rewards.
What speaks against account-wide reputation? However, there are also some peculiarities that speak against account-wide reputation, particularly in cases where players have to decide on a faction.
The best-known example would be the Aldor and the Scryers from Shattrath in The Burning Crusade. Players can only join one of the two factions and are hostile towards the other. Here there would need to be exceptions so that characters do not suddenly become popular or unpopular with both factions due to account-wide reputation.
Furthermore, there are also players who want a true fresh start with a new character and enjoy grinding reputation multiple times. This possibility would disappear if reputation were forced to be account-wide.
This is how the community discusses it: In the WoW subreddit, a post has surfaced again that revolves around the account-wide reputation.
Vitrudian sees a clear advantage in it to keep more players engaged in WoW:
I wish they had done this a long time ago. Remove the barriers that prevent players from wanting to play alternate characters. They could have retained so many more players.
Wheelywagon also wonders why this has not been worked on yet.
The real question is why this hasn’t been introduced into the game yet. Why hasn’t the absolute minimum been met and at least the increased reputation bonus [from Pandaria] been granted when a character is exalted.
The user malignantmind already has concrete plans:
Make it so that if one character is exalted, all other characters on the account are also exalted. If no character is exalted, then each has their individual reputation progress.
This ensures that they do not have to create account-wide limits for daily/weekly reputation farming and should resolve all issues, such as alternate characters not being able to return to loot bay just because one is farming the title “The Insane” on a character. It would probably make the title easier in the long run – but who cares about that anymore?
What do you think about account-wide reputation? What are good reasons for it? What speaks against it?

Lost Ark is a complete and standalone MMORPG and aside from the perspective, it has little in common with Diablo. However, one endgame activity significantly changes that and it brings real enjoyment to MMORPG fans. MeinMMO author Mark Sellner has already played the endgame of Lost Ark for several hours and reports.
What is the Tower? In the endgame of Lost Ark, you can expect many different contents. Some of them can only be completed in groups, such as the Guardian Raids or Abyssal Dungeons, while others are meant for you alone.
Solo contents include, among others, the ranked Arena PvP and also the Tower. You can only conquer this alone and it somewhat lightens up the whole game. You will find it after completing Vern in every larger city. You don’t need to complete any extra quest to unlock it.
For in this tower, Lost Ark almost forgets all MMORPG elements that otherwise set it apart from other action games. There is no flirting with NPCs, no housing, no group elements and buffs. Here, you will simply take down monsters and demons by the various heads.
Who is writing here? Mark Sellner is an MMORPG author at MeinMMO and a total Lost Ark nerd. Since he first saw the game in 2014, he absorbs all information on it. He had the opportunity to test the endgame with a level 60 character during a press preview and spent over 50 hours there.
What is the Tower good for? However, as an MMORPG player, you should not completely ignore the Tower, as it brings you significant advantages in the further course of the game and is actually a must for every hero of Arkesia who wants to keep something of their status.
For you can take rewards with you from the Tower for every floor you complete. Every 5 floors, particularly tough opponents await you, who will bring even more loot.
The most important thing are the skill books that you can receive occasionally from the floors. With them, you can gain more skill points, even though you have already reached the maximum level.
If you still want optimization for your character but currently don’t feel like farming better gear, the Tower should be your first point of call.
So far, 2 different Towers are available for you
How does the Tower work? Basically, at the start, you will expect two versions of the Tower. Shadespire and Fatespire. You will begin with the former, which requires a gear score of 302.
Overall, you will fight your way through 50 floors and receive better rewards each time. Once you clear a floor, your health points will be replenished and the cooldowns of your skills reset. You have a time limit for each individual floor, which lies between 3 and 5 minutes.
However, the requirement for your gear score increases with each floor, making the Tower not only more difficult but even unapproachable. While you only need a score of 302 for the entry and floor 1, level 5 already requires a gear score of 340 from you.
Additionally, you are not allowed to use healing potions during the fights, and changing your equipment is also not permitted in the Tower. Once you have conquered all floors, the next Tower, Fatespire, awaits you.

Why does it feel so different? In the Towers, Lost Ark plays like a completely different game. It refreshes and is fun. Moreover, the mechanically rather dull setup brings fresh air and variation to the MMORPG.
The individual floors of the Towers take place in very small arenas, so you do not have the opportunity to simply run away, as often happens in Lost Ark. Nevertheless, the stages boast partially surprising and exciting mechanics.
Why is this so good? One of the levels surprised with about 70 archers standing around the edge of the arena. Within seconds, my character became a walking ball of arrows, as they stuck into my Scrapper’s body.
While I initially found this amusing, I quickly became stressed because these archers hit really hard and I could see my health points melting away.
Before I enter the arena, health points are replenished and cooldowns reset
Everything about this Tower feels completely unlike Lost Ark and that is a positive aspect. You have variation within a game. No longer in the mood for Lost Ark? Then just play Lost Ark – or at least the Tower.
Especially since the MMORPG has often been compared to Diablo due to its perspective and action-packed combat system, it’s nice to see that they can hold their own in the main area of the action competitor. Even if Lost Ark otherwise has nothing to do with Diablo, this little homage in the form of the Tower is a welcome breath of fresh air in the game.
What hinders the fun? The only annoying thing is the relatively useless gear score lock of the Tower. With a level 50 character and gear score 302, I can clear the first four floors of the Tower in no time and without major difficulties.
However, you are no longer allowed into the 5th floor because the game requires a higher gear score from you. You would like to continue playing at this point and find out how far you can go and what challenges you can overcome. But first, you have to farm items again to try the next levels.
This message hinders my gaming fun
It would be such a great incentive if the gear score were just a recommendation. How good would it feel to clear a level that you shouldn’t be able to? But Lost Ark does not allow that at all, which is a big problem for the overall feel of the Tower.
What do you think of the Tower? Have you perhaps even played it yourself and had as much fun as I did? Or do you think a solo mechanic has no place in an MMORPG? What do you think about the fact that you actually have to conquer the Tower if you want to keep up at the end? Is it reasonable or rather disruptive? Feel free to write it to us in the comments here at MeinMMO.
In Destiny 2, the new weapon crafting primarily means one thing: if you want the best weapon, you have to play a lot. MeinMMO has already had an exclusive look at the exact details and costs, revealing what to expect and why it’s still worth it.
When the Guardians begin crafting their personal wish weapons in Witch Queen on February 22, it will indeed be a lengthy and time-consuming endeavor. Players could see new details in the new ViDoc from Bungie.
Players must first find the appropriate weapon pattern.
Then, you need a “Deep Sight Resonance” weapon with the desired perk.
To extract the perk, you must play with the resonance weapon and complete the task.
Players need new materials to shape their weapon.
Only those who play the weapon extensively will receive a complete masterpiece from a fully shaped weapon, leveling it up in the process.
How costly it will be for you, what grind awaits, and which materials you will soon be able to earn in the new expansion Witch Queen, MeinMMO has already discovered exclusively in advance at Bungie.
The journey to the perfect weapon is a long one.
New materials need to be farmed: In addition to the known Ascendant Shards for armor, there will also be a special Ascendant currency for weapons: the so-called “Ascendant Alloy,” a type of Ascendant alloy. From what we know so far, it will also be limited to 10 pieces and can only be obtained in challenging activities.
Various other elemental materials and alloys will also be available:
“Neutral Element”
“Energetic Element”
“Adroit Element”
“Mutable Element”
“Ruinous Element”
“Resonant Alloy”
The costs for your wish weapon are high
Taking the seasonal legendary 540 RPM Pulse Rifle “Piece of Mind” from the upcoming “Season of the Risen” as an example. If we focus on the most expensive options when shaping the weapon, with upgraded perks, crafting this weapon at the “Sci-Fi Fantasy 3D Printer,” as Joe Blackburn calls the relic, would cost you:
Final costs to forge the weapon: = 5x “Resonant Alloy” + 10,000 Glimmer + 750x “Neutral Element”.
You will also need to get the same weapon repeatedly to extract all desired traits from the relic. Once players reach a certain level, they can, for example, gain +10 points to “Handling” or “Range”.
Players will thus need to engage intensively with weapon crafting.
The costs for the normal perk “Murderous Wind”Finalizing a weapon will also cost something
Forming an exotic weapon, such as the submachine gun “Osteo Striga,” costs even more. Here, you will again need to cover the costs for the perks and, of course, for forging the weapon itself. This will also cost you considerable materials.
7x “Resonant Alloy”
15,000 Glimmer
2,375 “Neutral Element”
1x “Ascendant Alloy”
70x “Ruinous Element”
The cost of forging an exotic weapon. (excluding the cost for the traits)
This example shows how much the costs for a “weapon of choice” would ultimately be. Please keep in mind that costs may change slightly before the release of Witch Queen.
What are “Improved Traits/ Perks”?
These perks or traits will have better abilities than the ones found on randomly dropped weapons. You can also use the material “Ascendant Alloy” to further enhance these traits.
Your first “shaped” weapon will be the Glaive: The Glaive is a projectile weapon, a shield, and a melee weapon in one, and will use special ammo. All necessary materials will initially be provided by Bungie, and players will also be guided through a quest to shape weapons.
You can read here how this first quest to unlock weapon crafting in the Enclave works:
The materials come from various activities: After that, you will have to earn all new materials for your crafting yourself. Sometimes you will receive them in general activities, but sometimes only from specific challenges. Essentially, they will come from the same activities you are currently playing: Raids, Dungeons, Strikes, and Trials of Osiris.
This will ensure that the Guardians have a lot to do for their wish weapon and that they will have to play for a long time. Whether the materials later will also be available for purchase is something we do not yet know.
However, even if the grind is high and the content will be extended, it could prove to be much more worthwhile than it was before Witch Queen.
The relic will empty your pockets on the way to your wish weapon.
That’s why weapon crafting will still be worth it
Of course, the costs are not to be underestimated. But this will not be just the price for an individual weapon. This change will indirectly also provide Guardians with more space in the vault. Joe Blackburn, Game Director of Bungie, has already hinted at this in an interview:
A side effect of a deterministic loot system is that players will no longer have to store hundreds of versions of the same weapon in their vaults. The outcome should be that players will be able to adapt relatively painlessly by creating a new roll when the meta changes regarding weapon archetypes or perks.
You can “reshape” your own wish weapon repeatedly and change it as you desire. Of course, this comes with costs and effort. But players will know exactly what they will get in the end starting February 22.
The chance for a God Roll will soon be 100%: Previously, a God Roll was purely luck. Players invested hours into an activity in the hope that the one weapon they wanted would drop. Whether it drops, no one knew, and many Guardians are still waiting for their wish weapon today.
Grinding activities will soon be more rewarding than ever.
Some Guardians have long wished they could work more purposefully towards their desired weapon instead of relying solely on luck. Bungie’s first step in this direction was the Umbral Decoder. Here, players could already significantly narrow down the weapon they would get. With the new weapon crafting, even more will soon be possible.
All craftable weapons will also have at least one origin trait. You can read here what that’s all about:
This could, despite high costs and a lot of grind, lead to significantly more engagement from Guardians when it comes to crafting their very own God Roll. Those who enjoy the Destiny 2 system and have no problem pursuing long-term goals in a game will definitely appreciate the system.
Here’s what to expect in Destiny 2 for Witch Queen:
This system, by the way, is not entirely new: This crafting principle that Bungie introduces with Witch Queen is not new. In other games, such as Warframe, players also know exactly what they will get for their grind in advance.
Bungie will also bring many more perks into the game in the coming seasons. Thus, new perks for the forge will continue to be added over time, increasing the variety.
What do you think? Do you find the costs for your own wish weapon reasonable? Is the extra effort in grinding acceptable to you when you know exactly what you’ll get in the end? Or do you think the costs are way too high and only reachable for heavy players? And do you believe that the imminent overflow of Guardian vaults will no longer be an issue in the future? Please leave us your opinion in the comments.

Destiny 2 just released the ViDoc for Witch Queen. Despite the clear content, some Guardians among you may have overlooked a few important things. We at MeinMMO were able to analyze the ViDoc exclusively in advance and show you all the content that you might have missed.
This video is about: Today, on February 8th, Bungie released the ViDoc, the traditional video documentation, on Witch Queen. In it, the Destiny developer goes into detail about the upcoming expansion on February 22nd.
We see a mix of cutscenes related to the DLC’s story, and developers as well as other Bungie employees, like Joe Blackburn or Chris Proctor, present new mechanics.

For the Warlock, that was the gauntlets “Osmiomancy”. The Warlock receives an additional Ice Grenade with improved tracking. However, another previously unknown Exotic was shown in the ViDoc.
These are the new shoes for the Warlock
What can they do? In the video, the leg armor was also shown in action, where the Warlock used a different Rift that no one had seen before. The Rift increases your damage and heals you at the same time.
It may be a season-specific Exotic, as a new charge of armors is added to the loot pool each season.
2. Gigantic World
How big is the world? What was shown in the ViDoc suggests a gigantic world. The Guardians fight through the winding areas of the Throne World followed by the gardens of the Witch Queen.
This is only a fraction of the world of Witch Queen
Additionally, the Guardians will also be able to explore the Bayou, a type of swamp, and finally the Palace of the Queen. However, this was only observed from a distance. How large the map is compared to other locations is still unknown, but it seems as big as the Dreaming City.
On this map, players can also expect a new strike, and they can choose between the “Classic Campaign” and the “Legendary Campaign”.
3. The Enclave is from the Darkness
What indicates this? When you take a closer look at the Enclave/New Forge in the ViDoc, you realize that neither the Hive nor other known enemies constructed this workshop. The colors and designs resemble those of the Darkness and its pyramid ships. The name “The Relic” also suggests something ancient, left behind.
Doesn’t that look like the Darkness? The dark rock formations
If you follow the quest to the forge, associated with the new ability “Deepsight”, it is quite likely that the Darkness built and hid this forge long ago. It was then inexplicably shut down and may now linger as a hidden remnant from the time in the Mars area.
We also have a post for you on how much the forge will cost, but it will still be worth it:
4. New Wing in the H.E.L.M. – A Lab against the Hive?
What was briefly shown? Bungie often showed small snippets of new content and places in the video. One of them was particularly interesting, namely a corridor that resembles that of the Tower.
A new lab for the Guardians?
In this corridor, small details can be seen, such as:
Water-filled cylinders with creatures in them.
Pipes and a gloomy atmosphere reminiscent of a secret laboratory
It is possible that in this snippet the new wing in the H.E.L.M. was already shown. This may serve to study the Hive, as well as certain experiments with the light-infused brood. And perhaps the Guardians will also receive their quests and tasks there.
5. Exorcism
Where is the exorcism of Savathûn? The ritual for Savathûn has been awaited for months, and yet a scene was shown in the ViDoc that looks very much like a ritual.
The exorcism in the Dreaming City
In this scene, Mara Sov, the 14th Guardian, and other individuals are in a building of the Awoken. The crystal of the Witch Queen is also present. This begins to glow brightly and ends with a scene change.
So far, no exorcism has taken place. But this scene shows an episode in Destiny 2 that has not yet been classified. Whether this was really the end of Season 15 and then abruptly transitions into a cliffhanger is uncertain.
6. Ikora carries something unknown – Remnant of Osiris?
Which scene is meant? In one scene, almost all NPCs like Lord Shaxx, Lord Saladin, and Zavala are in the Commander’s office, staring silently at Ikora. She moves slowly towards a door, with her back turned to the viewer.
Everyone is in Zavala’s office
During her movement, she holds something in her hands. This scene was not known before the ViDoc and certainly shows a scene after the exorcism.
Neither Osiris nor Mara Sov are present. Is this an indicator that the Witch Queen has deceived the Guardians and has disappeared? Maybe Osiris is really dead, and this was a small confirmation of that.
These were all “hidden” things that Bungie incorporated; do you have any things that we haven’t mentioned? Let us know in the comments and discuss with other Guardians here on MeinMMO how you found the ViDoc.

In Halo Infinitee continues an old tradition that dates back to the first Halo game: the “Tea-Bagging.” What is it exactly, and why is this toxic gesture considered commonplace in games like Halo or Splitgate? MeinMMO provides you with the answers.
Whether in Call of Duty, Battlefield or Halo – anyone who plays shooters online has surely seen this toxic gesture at some point. When an opponent is killed, the victorious player repeatedly crouches over the corpse of the opponent – preferably right above the head.
Experienced players garnish this gesture with melee attacks, shots at the corpse, spinning movements, or turn it into a team activity.
This is called “Tea-Bagging,” which metaphorically describes a vulgar act with a scrotum. Especially in Halo Infinite and comparable games like Splitgate, this actually toxic gesture is extremely popular. But why? And why do players from the communities take it so lightly?
The reasons lie in the rules of a subculture that has been established since the first Halo in 2001.
Toxic gesture is considered good form in the community – with grading notes
Why is Tea-Bagging associated with Halo? Tea-Bagging is an integral part of the Halo community, and it has been since the first part of the series. The first Halo in 2001 featured a unique characteristic: When you die, you can still see your own corpse for a few seconds.
When it moved to online lobbies with Halo 2 in 2004, and online shooters on consoles became a major phenomenon, Tea-Bagging also became a massive trend.
This trend permeated the entire culture surrounding Halo and console gaming. It was part toxic power demonstration; part cheeky gag at the opponents and teammates that everyone could laugh about.
The popular comedy series Red vs Blue by RoosterTeeth, created entirely within the engine of the Halo games, also used Tea-Bagging as a gag:

How do players see it today? In Halo Infinite, Tea-Bagging remains a popular gesture, enriched with new gadgets like grappling hooks adding new facets. As it is now viewed more as a cheeky prank rather than a vile humiliation, players are searching for new forms of mockery – with moderate success (via Kotaku).
For Halo players, Tea-Bagging is thus mostly just harmless fun. The community, however, takes the form seriously:
You young *** all need to learn how to properly tea-bag. It makes me angrier than anything else in this game. I don’t even get mad when I get tea-bagged, I love it because it’s hilarious.
But when you tea-bag, I expect you to drag your *** across my face. None of this crappy crouch-spamming where you barely bend your knees 10 degrees. Get your butt down and bury your *** in my throat, with a few hits to boot.
Those old-timers know how to do it right, you young bucks have no idea.
This post shows that there are humorously intended grading notes for this actually toxic gesture. It resembles etiquette courses:
Tea-Baggers in Halo receive private messages via Xbox, but instead of the expected toxic hate, they get tips on proper posture: “Please do your next tea-bag correctly, don’t go up and down, do it slowly and calmly. Make sure to really swipe those balls, we want to feel them. Have a good one!”

Splitgate turns gesture into a game mode: What extent the culture of Tea-Bagging has in arena shooters is also shown by the competition from the game Splitgate. This F2P shooter, which is a conscious homage to Halo, celebrates Tea-Bagging almost.
In the stats menu, Splitgate players not only see their kills, deaths, and gameplay time – they also see how often they have tea-bagged someone. Players who have been tea-bagged hear the laughter of an audience like in a sitcom. And in the game mode “Teabag Confirmed,” your kills only count if you humiliate your victims sufficiently and correctly.
What is “Tea-Bagging”?
Why is it called “tea-bagging”? Literally, the term refers to the act of dunking a tea bag into a cup. But this is only figurative – in reality, this term describes something else.
During “tea-bagging,” the character’s scrotum is dunked on the face or into the mouth of the deceased opponent. That is why tea-baggers prefer to aim for the head of opponents. However, this does not mean that female characters must use a different technique – the rules of “tea-bagging” apply to all.
Why is it so widespread? Nowadays, emotes are particularly used to mock opponents or bad teammates. In Fortnite, for instance, the dab or the orange-justice dance is popular, while in Destiny 2 an ear-cat dance drives players to madness.
However, emotes are a relatively new phenomenon in shooters. Therefore, players who wanted to be mocking had to resort to other means. And since the controls of most shooters are quite simple, the crouch button had to be repurposed. The fact that a vulgar image arises from a simple gesture has turned it into a toxic trend.
What do you think about Tea-Bagging? Do you find it funny, or offensive? Are you perhaps a passionate tea-bagger yourself? How are your grading notes on tea-bagging? Let us know in the comments.

Dying Light 2 mixes survival elements with a large story campaign. There you will encounter several factions, of which especially two play a major role. You will repeatedly be faced with the choice: Peacekeepers or Survivors? MeinMMO introduces them to you and shows you how your decisions influence the game.
What factions are there in Dying Light 2? To be precise, there are three major factions, but you can only directly influence two of them with your decisions. While they are more or less “the good ones,” the third is strongly linked to the main antagonist of the story.
Survivors: Something like the freedom-loving hippie community in the more rural district of “Old Villedor.” They rely on peace through community and as much freedom as possible, so there are few rules to live by.
Peacekeepers (PK): This faction is more militarily organized and relies on order and discipline. They see themselves as law enforcers and want to rebuild the world according to old models.
Renegades: They are not as organized as the aforementioned factions, and you cannot ally with them or make decisions that directly affect them. So they play no real role here.
Throughout the story, you will work directly with the Survivors and the PK and also meet their leaders. They represent different ways of life and are essentially even “enemies,” living in a loose truce and repeatedly getting into conflict with each other. As a pilgrim, you are moving somewhere between the fronts and must continually decide which of the two groups you support.
Your decisions almost exclusively relate to the PK and Survivors. Both factions provide you with different advantages. What those are, you will find out here.
Start video
Everything you need to know about the new survival game Dying Light 2 – with gameplay
Dying Light 2 separates decisions between story and gameplay
How does it work with the factions? Dying Light 2 takes an interesting step that is not common in every story-driven game with choices.
The survival RPG separates your faction decisions made in the story from those you must make while playing in the open world.
For example, you can choose against the PK at a certain point in the story, but conquer a certain district for exactly that faction.
One has an influence on the course of the story, while the decision for the district makes gameplay differences.
If you conquer a district for a certain faction, you can unlock further advantages with each new district, which differ depending on PK or Survivors.
These can be mobility aids that Survivors set up in the game world or additional weapons and traps that can be built by the PK.
To unlock additional perks, you must activate water towers and power plants
This is how it works: For each conquered district, you receive another unlocked bonus from the respective faction. To conquer these districts or areas, you must find power plants or water towers.
You can thus choose anew for one of the factions with each district and decide whether the game world is dominated by one faction or whether you maintain a power balance and distribute districts evenly.
What is worth it the most? Regardless of which faction you prefer: You should firmly decide on one. Because the bonuses are unlocked linearly, like perks or skills. The more you receive from one faction, the stronger the bonuses become.
You should hand over all districts to one faction to gain the maximum benefit from the respective group. By the way, each of the groups has 7 perks.
Bonuses from Peacekeepers
The PK bonuses mainly consist of traps that can be useful to you in combat. Additionally, you receive a crossbow from them.
Car bombs are distributed in the city.
The PK sets up razor blade cannons.
They place electric traps in passageways.
The PK hangs up Molotov lanterns that you can activate with a knife throw.
You can unlock pendulum traps.
UV traps serve you in the fight against zombies, but also for replenishing your immunity.
Bonuses from Survivors
If you conquer districts for the Survivors, you mainly receive bonuses that aid your movement through the game world, in the form of airbags that can be used as trampolines or through other additional mobility aids.
These are the bonuses of the Survivor faction:
Additional zip lines in the game world.
Survivors distribute airbags that can launch you into the air with jumps.
Landing bags that can save you from falls.
If you die from a fall, you will be rescued by a Survivor.
Opens additional ventilation shafts, allowing you to stay in the air longer with your glider.
Increases the force with which airbags launch you into the air.
Which faction should I choose? Well, that mainly depends on your playstyle. While the PK offers more combat-oriented bonuses, the focus of the Survivor bonuses is on the parkour system.
If you particularly value traps and want to take down as many enemies in a crazy and tactical way as possible, you will probably do well with the bonuses of the PK.
Overall, it can be concluded that you will spend most of your playtime moving through the city and flying or running over the rooftops. Here, the bonuses of the Survivors provide the greatest advantages.
The traps of the PK are nice but are extremely situation-dependent and can actually be of little use due to tools that players commonly carry anyway. Bombs also have the disadvantage of attracting zombies.
But how do you see it? Which faction did you choose and why? Share your experiences with us.
In an interview with the Twitch channel Crown, the head of Lost Ark was asked what the content plans for the European version of the MMORPG look like. And you should be excited.
What does he say about new content? A major aspect of the developers seems to be that they do not want to accidentally release new content too quickly. This is particularly exciting because fans had long suspected that we would have to wait what feels like an eternity for new classes.
According to that, there should be new content and new classes every 2 to 3 months. The focus will be on getting new Legion Raids into the Western version of the MMORPG as quickly as possible.
We should receive the Argos Raid in just a month, and only a month after Argos, the next Legion Raid, Valtan, should come. They want to keep an eye on how quickly fans progress through the new content. In any case, the endgame of our version will be fed quickly.
When will new classes be available? The German version of Lost Ark will launch on February 8 for pre-orderers and on February 11 as a free-to-play title. Initially, we will have 15 different classes to choose from, while there are already 22 classes in Korea with 2 more on the horizon.
However, while Korea receives new classes approximately every 5–6 months, our Western version should be much faster to keep up with the original version.
You should not have to wait longer than 3 months for new classes, as the Western version of Lost Ark will receive a new class every 2 to 3 months.
What classes are coming next? First, we can expect the Summoner. Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, it seems the most likely. After all, the Summoner was still in the game during the beta and was later removed for the launch.
What happens next is pure speculation. Overall, our version is still missing the classes
Reaper
Scout
Lancemaster
Painter
Destroyer
Arcana
Summoner
Announced for the Korean version is a kind of weather mage as well as a female version of the Berserker. The greatsword-wielding lady is expected to enter Arkesia by the end of 2022 or early 2023 and be available to all.

At some point, there should be only one version
What else does he say? His dream would be to have a global version of Lost Ark that receives all updates simultaneously. So it can be seen as an overarching plan to catch up with the Korean version of Lost Ark.
When that will happen or is planned, he did not reveal. However, the big Lost Ark event LOA ON is also supposed to be held internationally and not just in Korean.
He also responds to the question of how important feedback from Western players is by expressing that he appreciates the fanbase and regularly follows Reddit and YouTube. However, he does not let out how much this feedback influences the development of the MMORPG.
What’s also exciting? For new players, he advises playing the game at their own pace to get the best possible experience for themselves. Furthermore, no one should feel pressured to purchase anything. Lost Ark is also meant to be completely open to free-to-play players.
When asked whether it will eventually be possible to play ranked PvP with friends and not just alone, he gives no clear answer. They would monitor the PvP and are working on improving it. So it remains exciting.
What do you think about this? What classes would you like to see next for our version of the MMORPG? Or are you satisfied with the 15 classes available at launch for now?
Are you also worried that too much new content will come too quickly, or is this exactly what you wanted to hear? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
The developers of Lost Ark have revealed today that you can get not just one, but two Power Passes. All you need for that is a character at level 50+ and the completion of the story.
How do I get more characters to level 50? You can get a boost directly to level 50 with acceptable gear for the first endgame content through the so-called Power Pass.
You get the first pass when you bring a character to level 50 and complete the story with them. You need to complete all quests that have an orange arrow as the quest marker. The last quest is named “Ealyn’s Gift”.
Once you have completed this quest, the first Power Pass will be unlocked on your account. You can use this when you have created a new character. In the character selection, you can then click on Power Pass.
As soon as you have boosted a character to level 50, you will automatically receive a second Power Pass. This is new and was only announced on the night of February 8th. That way, you can quickly have three characters at level 50.
In the character selection, you can activate the Power Pass.
Can I get more Power Passes? Yes. These are available to you after you have brought at least one character to level 50 and completed the story, in the in-game shop for real money. You can get only these two passes for free.
Note: Originally, it was stated in the patch notes for the release that you must not have skipped any cutscenes in order to get the pass. This is incorrect and has already been corrected by the developers.
Automatic leveling is also possible with in-game currency
Are there other ways to boost characters? Yes, there are. Once you have a character above level 50, you will unlock a quest on your island. You can pick up this task near your main house, and it will lead you back to your island through several detours.
In the end, you will receive a small robot on the beach, where you can order the automatic leveling:
A boost to level 50 costs 600 gold and 8 hours of waiting time
After that, you can buy further boosts, which also cost gold and waiting time. This will skip further levels and story content.

In World of Warcraft, you need pretty “Lucky Charm Bracelets” for the Valentine’s event. We will tell you where you can farm them best.
The Valentine event “Love is in the Air” has started again in World of Warcraft. Many players are searching for the best farm spots to farm lucky charms, which can then be exchanged for great rewards. We will explain what the event offers and where you can get really good yields.
Farming Pretty Lucky Charms – Here’s How
To farm Pretty Lucky Charm Bracelets, you first need a special item, the “Lovely Charm Collector’s Kit.” You can obtain this from the event merchants in the main cities. Just look for the flying goblin “Qixi Q. Pido,” talk to him, and say that you want to have such a collector’s kit – then it will land in your inventory for free.
As long as you have the collector’s kit in your inventory, you can farm “Pretty Lucky Charms”. These drop from all enemies that give you experience points (or theoretically would, if you are already level 60).
Get the collector’s kit, otherwise the charms won’t drop at all.
You can then combine 10 of these pretty lucky charms into a “Pretty Lucky Charm Bracelet” and exchange it with the event vendor for a “Love Token”.
With the Love Tokens, you can purchase the numerous rewards from the event. These include not only transmog but also mounts and toys.
Or to put it simply: You can farm pretty lucky charms to ultimately buy most of the event’s rewards.
But where is the best place to farm the lucky charms?
The Best Places to Farm “Pretty Lucky Charms” in 2022
First things first: There isn’t a single perfect spot for farming. This is mainly because the locations vary depending on your character level, Blizzard often nerfs the most efficient spots within hours, and other factors are at play that you cannot influence. A really good spot loses a lot of its usefulness when several players are farming here at the same time.
We therefore offer you a small selection of places that have proven to be efficient.
Torghast at Level 1
Yes, you read that right. The Tower of the Damned is particularly suitable for the Valentine’s event. Simply visit the tower and go into one of the currently available wings at level 1.
In Torghast, you can collect the lucky charms without competition.
The list of benefits is huge:
No competition: In Torghast, no one will take your mobs.
Endless enemies: You can start Torghast infinitely and always have a source of enemies to farm.
Weak mobs: At level 1, the mobs in Torghast are designed for item level 130. Even a character newly at level 60 with only world quest equipment can take these enemies down with ease.
Anima powers and the Box of Infinite Things: The anima powers from Torghast and the bonuses from the Box of Infinite Things further increase your character’s power and speed. You will breeze through the enemies.
But be careful: Not all enemies in Torghast can drop lucky charms. Lesser creatures, like skeletons or maw rats, almost never leave behind a pretty lucky charm. The fewer of these creatures appear in your runs, the greater your yield will be.
Torghast is not “broken” as a farm spot but is extremely reliable. Without competition or the need to exert yourself particularly, you can farm a solid amount of lucky charms per hour here.
Ardenweald
You can find the second solid spot at level 60 in Ardenweald.
Simply travel to the coordinates 62 / 47. Here, you can look east from the road and see a permanent battlefield. The Tirnenn are constantly fighting against incoming enemies known as “Possessed Chargers.” These mobs spawn every second, and there is virtually no waiting time. As soon as a charger is defeated, a new one charges in.
Here there is an endless flow of mobs – great for ranged classes.
This is particularly worthwhile for ranged classes, who don’t even need to move. Dot classes can simply apply spells to all enemies and grab the lucky charms – looting the corpses isn’t necessary and isn’t even possible since the mobs don’t leave any normal loot.
Since this spot is located in the open world and is now quite well known, there could be a lot of competition. However, the respawn here is usually so fast that it doesn’t matter much, even if three or four players are farming here. Only with an even larger number of players might it be worthwhile to switch to another spot.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
Warning: This spot is suitable only if your character is still at level 50. However, it is significantly more efficient than comparable spots at level 60.
Travel to the Broken Isles, the setting of the Legion expansion. Now fly south from Dalaran to the island “Eye of Azshara.” This specifically does not refer to the dungeon in Azsuna, but to the island that you can also fly to in the open world.
A solid farm spot – but only until level 50.
On the island, there are some elite enemies, which shouldn’t pose a big threat to most characters. Tanks should have hardly any problems here.
The primary goal is to find the small “Salt Sea Droplets,” which bubble around in groups of 6 to 8. Each of them has a chance to drop a lucky charm.
Where do you farm the lucky charms? Do you have a tip you’d like to share with the community?

In Fortnite there is a story that is told on the sidelines. Since the emergence of the underground organization “IO” and the appearance of the Foundation in Chapter 2 Season 6, the name Genō has been mentioned. This being holds something that the leader of the Seven wants. We will show you everything that is known about Genō.
What is Genō? To understand who Genō might be, you need to know who IO is. “Imagined Order”, also known as IO, is a background organization that stands against the Seven.
They want to use the power of the Zero Point to possess an inexhaustible amount of energy that allows them to travel through different timelines and parallel worlds. This way, they maintain control over everything and everyone.
In Chapter 2 Season 6, since the Foundation nearly beat up Jonesy, he promised to show him where Genō is located. He assured Jonesy that the Sisters would be there too. At that time, Jonesy was a defector from the IO and was fighting himself on the front of the Zero Point. Previously, he was an employee of the Imagined Order and surely knew about the internal hierarchy and their processes.
By Sisters, it is presumably meant two more followers of the Seven. Hypex, a well-known leaker from Fortnite, has released concepts for new skins. Four variants of skins were shown that resemble the appearance of the Seven.

The two women on the right side could be the Sisters
If Genō is holding the Sisters, then this is an enemy of the Seven. This could mean that IO and Genō are in cahoots.
Another aspect supports that the mysterious person is working with IO. In the comic “Batman/Fortnite: Foundation”, it was mentioned that Genō possesses the Zero Point. So, connecting the fact that the Imagined Order and the mysterious being possess the Zero Point, one can assume that they are working together.
Since IO is the obvious organization that acts on the forefront, Genō could symbolize the leaders of the organization. They operate in the background and lead the organization from the shadows.
However, these are still speculations and logical conclusions; it is not exactly clear who this Genō is. What is certain, however, is that Epic will gradually reveal the secrets that are still unresolved throughout Chapter 3.

In early February, the release of Season 12 of the Battle Royale hit Apex Legends is coming. It features a new legend, an additional game mode, and many adjustments to the gameplay, including a brand new mode called ‘Control’. You can find out all the details here on MeinMMO!
Update: On February 8, we updated this article with the latest information about Season 12.
When is the release of Season 12? Season 12 of the popular Battle Royale Apex Legends will start on February 8, 2022. The season is titled ‘Defiance’, which means ‘defiance’ or ‘resistance’. The title clearly refers to the rowdy anarcho-rebel Mad Maggie, who will join as a new legend.
The start of the season is expected around 7 p.m. our time.
What’s included in Season 12? You can look forward to the following features in Season 12:
New legend Mad Maggie
New game mode Control
The map Olympus returns with a few changes
Diverse gameplay fixes, including nerfs and buffs to weapons and legends
A brand new battle pass
More details on these points can be found in the following paragraphs.
Start video
Apex Legends: New Legend Mad Maggie in the Trailer – Release in February
New game mode, Mad Maggie, and other gameplay changes
Who is the new legend? We now know that it will be Mad Maggie, especially since the fantastic trailer for the new legend was released. We learned about her during Season 8 when the hero Fuse, who hails from Australia, was introduced, as his archenemy Mad Maggie was already known.
The rowdy anarcho-warrior was also a host of a special event, where her harsh and loud remarks drove many players to the edge.
By now, we also know that Maggie will be a very offensive character. She is particularly agile with shotguns and can throw an exploding ball as her ultimate, distributing speed boosters. However, her most-discussed skill is the ‘Ruckus Driller’, which has the potential to break the ‘Gibby Shield Meta’.
What is the new game mode ‘Control’? For the first three weeks of Season 12, there will be a new mode called ‘Control’. It is a version of ‘Domination’, similar to what you know from games like Call of Duty.
You are supposed to capture and hold as many of the three capture points as possible to win after a certain time. There will be infinite respawns, and it will be a battle between 2 teams of 9 players.
What new weapon is coming? So far, nothing has been announced about a new weapon. So it may be that there will be no additional gun this time.
However, there are new hop-ups, which are weapon upgrades. These include the “Kinetic Feeder” for the shotgun Peacekeeper and the sniper Triple Take. This upgrade allows the weapon to reload automatically while you slide around. Ideal for the fast, aggressive playstyle of Mad Maggie.
Will there be a new map? There will not be a complete new release here either. However, we know that the popular map Olympus from Season 7 will return. There will also be a few significant changes to the map. What these are is still unclear; however, fans are expecting widespread devastation, as can already be seen in the trailer for Mad Maggie.
Olympus is coming back, but … differently.
What else is changing? As with every season, there will be changes to weapons and legends. It is already known that:
In the weeks after the release of Season 12, there will be three legends given away for free – ideal for all newcomers who do not yet have them!
The legend Crypto is currently the least popular. The developers announced a buff for him some time ago, which is supposed to make his drone more useful. More is now known about this. Crypto will now use the drone passively and can even stick it to objects. This makes Crypto more versatile and allows him to scout effectively without direct drone control.
The playstyle of Gibraltar is likely to change due to the counter with Maggie’s Ruckus Driller.
The trapper Caustic is getting an obvious nerf, as you can now destroy his gas canisters even after they have been triggered.
The popular weapons Longbow and Flatline will only be available in Season 12 through the replicator, no longer as ground loot.
The well-known Twitch streamer JustAMinx was banned from Twitch yesterday after pleading with the moderators of the site not to do so. She claimed it was not her, but her demons who had said the offensive term.
What happened?
JustAMinx is an Irish streamer who gained fame mainly through the Twitch show “Love or Host.”
Twitch did not ban Minx for the first time. During the first ban, it was for allegedly offensive statements. She said “Simp“, which refers to someone who gives excessive attention to another person.
Twitch is now invoking the ban hammer again. She allegedly used an extremely offensive term once more.
JustAMinx says “Cracker” and is banned for a week
This is why Minx was banned: The well-known Twitch streamer JustAMinx must take a forced break from Twitch. Twitch justifies the ban due to the apparently racist insults. In her stream, Minx repeatedly used the word “Cracker.” Cracker is generally considered an insult towards white people — by the way, Minx is white.
The current ban is already the second for Minx, which is based on derogatory remarks. In 2020, JustAMinx had to take time off because she was banned for the words “Simp” and “Incel.” Twitch had only recently added those to the list of bad words. The streamer uploaded a video on YouTube explaining why she was banned from Twitch.

Read more about our privacy policy.
When is Minx back live? Her ban lasts for seven days, meaning JustAMinx will be back on Twitch on February 14.
Are there more banned streamers? For using the word Cracker, Twitch has already banned streamers before JustAMinx. The most well-known Cracker case is probably Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker’s. In one of his streams, the outspoken anti-capitalist discussed whether Cracker has a racist background or not. The mere open debate was enough for Twitch officials to issue a ban.
The second streamer who was banned for using the C-word is named Froste and is a member of the e-sports organization 100 Thieves. The justification for Froste’s ban in December 2021 was: “Hateful speech.”
What is the origin of the word Cracker in a racist context?
Cracker or Cracka primarily refers to the poorer white rural population in the southern USA. The word is also characteristic of the early settlers in the US states of Florida and Georgia, who were maliciously referred to as Florida and Georgia Crackers back in the day.
However, which other origins may lie behind the C-word is somewhat unclear. Various sources provide different explanations as to why Cracker is racist or why it is not.

Season 12 starts in Apex Legends. So you can jump right in and dive into the new content, we are giving away 5 codes with 11,500 Apex Coins each. Join in!
This is what’s currently happening in Apex Legends: Season 12 in Apex Legends does not bring a new weapon or map, but it changes a lot about the current meta gameplay. The main reason for this is the new legend Mad Maggie, who specifically counters the commonly used tactics and thus brings a fresh breeze to the game.
Additionally, there’s a new game mode called “Control,” which is not a battle royale but a kind of domination mode like Call of Duty. Since you have infinite respawns and freely selectable loadouts here, this mode is ideal for newcomers who are just starting with Apex Legends now. Season 12 releases on February 8 at approximately 7 PM.

Dying Light 2 gives you the ability to distribute skill points and learn new abilities. One of them is very popular in the community – because it can overpower almost any enemy. Even bosses tremble at the special kick.
What is this skill? The Dropkick is one of the skills from the combat tree. You can unlock it relatively early with enough health points. The Dropkick is among our skills you should get early in Dying Light 2.
With the ability, you can perform a kick in the air while sprinting and jumping. Aiden hits the enemy with both feet and sends them flying back a good distance before he lands on the ground himself.
As a prerequisite, you must have learned the air kick and possess at least 180 health points. If you still need health points, you have to level up through inhibitors first. You can find inhibitors in key crates or the secret safes scattered throughout the world.
What makes the skill so strong? Even though the Dropkick initially sounds like a “nice gadget”, it is actually one of the strongest abilities in the game. With the Dropkick, you can:
kick enemies off rooftops and thus send them to their death
kick enemies into spike traps and instantly kill them
cause good damage with the skill and push almost any enemy away from you
The skill works even without a weapon, making it an optimal “last resort”. The effect works against almost every enemy except the mutated Goliath zombies with heavy clubs. A user says on reddit that he has defeated almost every boss of the game with it.
Moreover, you do not just hit a single enemy. If your foes group up properly, you can even hit multiple at once – and push them off rooftops or into spike traps:

Are there any downsides? Yes, you land on the ground after each Dropkick and are vulnerable to attacks. So if you already have low health points, you should think carefully about when to use a Dropkick and whom to show your soles to.
However, if utilized correctly, you can eliminate enemies before a fight in the open world and no longer face such a strong overpowering force against you. Just make sure to hit your target, otherwise, you’ll be totally defenseless for a short time.
If you prefer to focus on other combat maneuvers or miss firearms in the game, you can make use of an Easter egg in the game. Because there are actually firearms in the game, or at least something similar. And at least one of them is just as powerful as the Dropkick:
While a streamer League of Legends was playing, he was suddenly permanently banned by Twitch. The reason seems to be his inappropriate username, which Twitch sees as a violation of the guidelines. MeinMMO reports on who it is and what exactly happened.
Who is it about? It is about the LoL streamer “Doaenel”. He could captivate an average of 1,000 to 2,000 viewers with his streams. He currently has around 3,000 subscribers on Twitch.
He exclusively streamed League of Legends on the live streaming platform for 10 to 14 hours a day. Doaenel aims to become number 1 in the game – no matter the cost.
With poetic, motivating tweets and his match statistics, the streamer tries to push himself and show how well he is currently performing in LoL.
Doaenel refers to himself in his Twitter bio as the best Hecarim in the world. Hecarim is a playable character in the MOBA League of Legends.

Twitch bans the streamer because of his name
Why did Doaenel receive his permanent ban? On February 6, Doaenel tweeted the reason for his sudden ban: his username. Twitch sees the name as “do anal”.
The streamer immediately stated that his name has nothing to do with that, and he has had it since he was 16 years old. The name consists of the following criteria:
The first 2 letters of the last name
The first vowel of the first name
The third letter of the middle name or the name of a parent, if there is no middle name
The last consonant of the last name
Adding the suffix “iel” or “el”
Doaenel intended to create an angelic name.

In a YouTube video, he shared his story and how he got into Twitch.
Previously, Doaenel, according to his own statements, had already tried to get banned from Twitch; he swore wildly in streams and behaved badly. He was in a bad mental state, according to Doaenel. However, Twitch did not take any action and let him continue streaming.
However, there has already been a ban: In 2020, he sexually harassed a female streamer and asked her if she wanted to have sex with him. As a result, Doaenel received a temporary ban from Twitch.
It is unclear whether the increasing reach or previous streams are to blame for the current ban. Perhaps Twitch has only now noticed his username. There has been no official statement from the live streaming platform yet.
Doaenel seems determined to continue and will surely appeal to Twitch to contest the ban. “I promise you, I will keep fighting. I promised myself to keep fighting. And that’s exactly what I will do (…)” said Doaenel at the end of his video.
Apex Legends is one of the best free-to-play shooters on the market, but getting into the game is complicated and especially frustrating for beginners. However, after 3 years and the start of Season 12, Apex Legends finally offers the perfect opportunity for all interested newcomers to start with a lot of fun and success. Find out here on MeinMMO why this is the case!
What is Apex Legends? Apex Legends launched unexpectedly on February 4, 2019, and revolutionized the currently booming battle royale genre with a range of fresh ideas that have since been adopted by almost every other game in the genre.
At its core, Apex Legends is still a very fast-paced battle royale game where you participate in a kind of futuristic game show where you shoot each other. The team that remains at the end wins. To ensure that enough players meet, the play area shrinks regularly.
Who is writing here? Jürgen Horn is a long-time Apex player and has played in every season so far. Therefore, he knows the game well, but has always felt that getting into Apex is not particularly easy. However, with the upcoming features of Season 12, this should all improve.
Why has it not been easy to get into the game so far? However, Apex Legends has a very fast pace and even the excellent gunplay relies on the fact that you are well acquainted with the various weapons.
As a newcomer, you are at a severe disadvantage in combat against experienced players and have to “fight your way through” multiple times before you really know how to handle the weapons and the skills of your characters. Many newcomers end up losing the fun and uninstalling Apex Legends by then.
But Season 12 brings multiple reasons to give newcomers a promising start. This includes a new mode and a drastic break in the meta.
Start video
Apex Legends presents new character in an action-packed trailer
That’s why Season 12 will be the perfect time to start with Apex
What kind of mode is this? With the start of Season 12, there is a new game mode called Control. This is basically the Domination mode known from CoD and similar games. You need to capture and hold up to three strategic points on the map. This earns you points, and the first to reach a certain limit wins.
Meanwhile, you receive unlimited respawns, can choose your characters anew each time, and weapons are set in a starting loadout from the beginning of the game.
This mode is ideally suited to calmly familiarize yourself with the game and gunplay as well as the various characters. Especially the respawns and fixed loadouts allow for a lot of personal experience and experimentation.
What’s the deal with the new meta? If you eventually end up in the battle royale or arena mode, you will encounter experienced players there; however, they will not be superior in every aspect at the start of Season 12. The developers have changed much of the established meta gameplay with the new legend ‘Mad Maggie’ and a few buffs and nerfs.
This means Maggie can counter a previously particularly effective tactic, and one of the best weapons is now significantly rarer in the game. This means that even the pros will have to reacquaint themselves with the game, and their advantage won’t be as great.
When does Season 12 start? Apex Legends will therefore be much friendlier to newcomers with Season 12, but when does it finally start? You won’t have to wait too long, as today, on February 8, at approximately 7 PM, you can start the download for the major Season 12 update.
The new MMORPG Lost Ark launches this week and brings a whopping 15 classes right at release. Which will be the first one you level up?
After many years of waiting, Lost Ark launches today for the pre-order Founder’s Packs in the West and fans can dive straight into the adventures.
The MMORPG offers tons of content, thanks to its release in Korea, such as the Tier 3 content. You can therefore travel to additional continents and complete dungeons. But with which class will you do it first?
The 15 classes of the EU version are:
Pistol Lancer – A “tank-like” class that fights with a spear and a shield and can buff the group.
Berserker – A warrior who fights with a massive sword. In his Berserker form, he can deal massive damage.
Paladin – Paladins use a sword and a book in combat to cast holy magic on their opponents. They can also protect the group.
Magician – The mage class relies on elemental magic in battle, causing area attacks and sweeping opponents off the field.
Female Bard – The bard attacks her opponents with the power of her music and can buff and even heal allies. This makes her a strong supporter.
Deathblade – A fast melee class that can use either daggers or a longsword in battle.
Shadow Hunter – This assassin class relies on both normal physical weapons and the power of chaos that lives within her.
Death Shooter and Art Shooter – These two classes are essentially identical but have different genders. They can switch between pistols, shotguns, and a sniper rifle in combat to utilize different skill sets.
Sharpshooter – The classic archer can set traps in battle and also use his hunting falcon, which deals considerable damage.
Artillerist – The class with the really big cannons. The artillerist can use bazookas and flamethrowers in combat.
Spirit Fist – Similar to Dragon Ball, with Soul Fist you can unleash energy beams and balls in addition to normal physical attacks with your hands and feet.
Battle Monk and Warrior Dancer – A fast and acrobatic monk class with very high attack speed.
Scrapper – Scrapper specializes in melee combat and switches between two skill sets in battle, requiring the resources Ki and Shock.
The classes are “genderlocked”, which means there is only one gender per class. Thus, all mage classes are female and all warriors are male. The developer Smilegate has started to loosen this restriction. They are releasing new classes that feel almost identical to the existing ones, but have a different gender. Examples of such classes are Death Shooter (male) and Art Shooter (female).
This is how the release will go: The servers of Lost Ark will go online today, on February 8, for the owners of the Founder’s Packs at 6:00 PM. Free2Play players will start a few days later on February 11.
All information about preload, download size, and launch in general can be found in our article:
The MMORPG Lost Ark celebrates its release today, on February 8th. Accordingly, the patch notes for the launch have been published. In them, you can find all the differences compared to the beta in November 2021.
What has changed since the beta? Since the beta in November, there have been some new contents that made it into the game, including.
A new max level of 60
The expedition level is now called squad and has increased from 100 to 250
Three new continents have been added
7 new abyss dungeons have been introduced
12 new raids have been launched
The Tower of Destiny is available as a new activity
27 new islands can now be explored by ship
However, there are also some adjustments regarding “quality of life”, including the improvement to DirectX 11, adjustments to the UI, and the fact that players can now add friends to their account-wide friends list. Previously, this was only possible with individual characters.
Additionally, there were some adjustments to the shop, which were not all explained in detail. We will likely only find out the specifics once the game is live. However, for chests that give random items, a precise chance for that item will now be displayed in the future.
Thanks to player feedback on the new prologue during the closed beta, we’ve added an additional “Welcome Challenge”. This welcome challenge helps new players through a series of optional missions. The first missions assist and convey the gameplay mechanics and become increasingly complex as you progress further into the later areas of the game.
The welcome challenge becomes visible after you reach Prideholme with a new character.
Character and Squad Updates
The level cap has been raised from 55 in the closed beta to 60. Each level reached after 50 grants the player additional skill points.

The summoner has been removed, and the sorceress subclass has been added.

Planned Activities
Players can access 4 types of content via the Procyon’s Compass (the widget that shows active content) or via the calendar in the top left of the HUD. The activity times are based on the local time in the server’s region.
If you exit or leave the area while participating in these activities, the reward counter will not increase and you have another chance to earn a reward.
Field bosses, chaos portals, and ghost ships
Following the weekly schedule, the field boss, chaos portal, and ghost ship activities take place every hour between 10 AM and 5 AM the following day.
You can participate every hour, but you will not receive additional rewards once you have exhausted all opportunities to earn rewards. The limits are:
1 reward per day for field boss and chaos portal activities. The possibility to earn rewards resets every morning at 11 AM CET (UTC + 1).
1 weekly for the ghost ship. The opportunities to earn rewards reset on Wednesdays at 11 AM CET (UTC + 1).
Adventure Island
According to the schedule in the game’s calendar, the same adventure island will be unlocked 3 to 4 times a day.
On weekends, a total of 2 groups of adventure islands will appear in the game schedule. Example: Whispering Island / Lagoon Island / Snowpang Island x3 and Monte Island / Harmony Island / Island of Phantom Butterflies x3.
Adventure Island has two kinds of rewards
Permanent rewards: island tokens and skill runes, available once per squad.
Repeatable rewards: gold, silver, card packs, and pirate coins, available once daily per squad.
Fortress Content
With the knowledge chamber of the fortress, you can transfer progress you’ve already made with one character to another character of the same account.
You can use the knowledge chamber by completing the following steps:
Complete the fortress quest “First Steps”
Get a character to level 50
Complete North Vern’s main quest “Ealyn’s Gift”
Complete the quest “For Cynics, nothing is impossible!” offered by Adeline, the fortress’s maid
When you receive a knowledge transfer, you can only transfer knowledge for 1 continent at a time. Transfers occur in the order of the storyline, starting with North Vern.
Once the knowledge transfer has started, you cannot cancel it. You cannot complete it immediately.
Characters receiving a knowledge transfer cannot use a power pass.
The knowledge chamber will be available for North Vern up to Feiton.
Enhancement and Quality of Life
Improvements to support player safety, including reporting for messages and entity names.
The UI/UX menu interface has been updated.
The store interface has been redesigned and updated.
The ability to add an account as a friend has been added (similar to adding a squad) and show which character they are currently playing – friend lists are no longer bound to characters.
The ability for players to show themselves as AFK and send a message to other players attempting to interact with them has been added.
Integrated presets have been added, allowing players to create presets consisting of various function-specific settings (maps, skills, equipment, gems, and more).
DirectX11 support has been added as a default setting. A player can switch to DirectX9 mode if they feel their performance is affected. When you are in the game, press ESC to access the game menu, click on the gear icon for settings, and go to the “Video” tab. The DirectX 9/11 mode can be switched at the top of this settings screen.
New Features
We offer 15 playable classes.
In line with the release of the sorceress in Korea, we will also introduce the advanced class of the sorceress, which replaces the summoner from the closed beta.
The monk class has also been introduced since the closed beta.
The global chat has been added so players can communicate with others in different worlds of the same server region.
Each chat room can accommodate a maximum of 100 players.
Players can see the previous chat logs before entering the room and chat messages sent while logged out.
The Korean original version has been added as a DLC pack on Steam. Please note that this only pertains to spoken dialogues, allowing players to experience the original version of the game. Text options are restricted to English, French, German, or Spanish.
A complete list of new accessibility features can be found in our article on accessibility options.
For reading chat messages, text to speech (TTS) accessibility is available. Additional improvements have been made based on feedback from the closed beta. To utilize this feature, players must enable Windows Narrator outside of the game. When the “TTS” setting is enabled in-game, chat messages or typed text are read by the speaker.
For transcribing voice chats in a group or raid, speech-to-text (STT) accessibility is available. To use this feature, players must activate the setting under game settings >> community >> chat and participate in a party voice chat.
Room of Growth added, accessible after completing the North Vern world quest “Shadows of the Past of the Rift”. With this feature, you can experience and learn additional gameplay modes that Lost Ark has to offer, such as mounts, pets, crafting, engraving, dismantling, and refining.
Procyon’s Compass added. Adventurers find a menu accessible via a widget that displays active field bosses, ghost ships, chaos portals, and current adventure islands.
Adventure Island added – this is a new activity that leads users to islands that are only available at certain times. Upon arriving at the island, you receive a co-op quest and must face a boss to obtain various rewards.
Custom PvP matches and spectator mode have been added.
Adjustments to the Western Market
Focus on free-to-play
As we mentioned in previous patch notes, Amazon and Smilegate RPG have worked together to fine-tune the content. One example is that the “show more” fields in raids are now available for gold instead of crystal.
Moderation:
Mechanisms and notifications have been implemented to ensure player safety and keep Arkesia free from behaviors that violate our code of conduct.
Language filtering:
After the feedback we received in the closed beta, further improvements have been made to our language filter. We will continue to monitor this post and make adjustments as needed.
Currency Exchange
The currency exchange has been updated so that you can better understand what is traded and earned in auctions.
Power Pass/Adventurer Path
There are two ways to unlock the power pass for adventurers:
When the player completes the main quest (Ealyn’s Gift) from North Vern, a single Vern Power Pass Token will be provided via in-game mail.
After using the first power pass, a second power pass will be granted to players via in-game mail.
After two power passes are received, you will not be able to earn a third power pass this way.
Only two power passes can be purchased per game account.
The adventurer’s path can be started immediately after consuming the power pass with another character.
This feature compresses the level 10 – 50 section for an alternative character and is a story told by Beatrice.
It guides you through the basics and progression of your class and allows you to swiftly relive the content with this character.
Upon completing the adventurer path questline, your character will be equipped with the appropriate gear for the Vern contents.
Store
After the closed beta, we worked together with Smilegate RPG to fine-tune the products to suit the western market.
The entire store will open at the early access, including Marie’s Secret Shop, which has its own opening hours.
Crystalline Aura will be available at launch and is the exclusive premium service for western users.
This service allows adventurers to utilize a range of convenience features. These benefits differ from other countries and can be viewed in the shop list for each pioneer package.
At launch, the crystalline aura will be expanded with additional features.
Information on probabilities
Some products purchased with crystals or royal crystals that can be bought in the store include random rewards. The breakdown of probabilities for receiving these rewards will be available online on our chance page.
You can also access this link through the in-game shop.

In Destiny 2, many Guardians have been waiting for months for new story fragments about the “Worm Exorcism” of Savathûn. However, seemingly nothing has changed for weeks. But now clever Guardians have found out that Bungie is conducting secret construction work that may have something to do with the end of the season.
What is happening behind the scenes? Many Guardians are crossing their fingers and hoping each passing week that new story elements will finally appear. Savathûn, the petrified Witch Queen, is still on ice, and obviously not much else has happened.
At least that is what the Guardians thought, as Bungie has been building a narrow bridge to a tower in the Dreaming City for weeks. This construction went unnoticed by the Guardians so much that no one noticed the change. However, it could be seen in the activity “Astral Alignment”.
Does the bridge lead to the exorcism?
The reddit user TheTealMafia has compiled a photo collage documenting the stealthy construction.
After today’s reset, it was seen that the bridge has even been completely finished. The way to Savathûn is now open, as the well-known PvE player Esoterickk shows in a recent YouTube video:

Anyone who knows Bungie knows that something is implemented into the game for a reason, without being useful in the future. Looking at the change, one can notice that the bridge is stealthily making its way to the demolished Awoken Tower.
This tower could soon be used as a ritual site for the exorcism, yet something so obvious has hardly gone unnoticed.
What are the Guardians doing instead? In Destiny 2, many Guardians have already given up hope of playing the final mission. Every weekly reset, they would go to Savathûn to possibly trigger a cutscene or mission and finally complete the longest season. This has not happened to this day, yet everyone is waiting for a cliffhanger that will finally propel the story forward.
What could happen after the exorcism? Nobody can predict yet what the consequences will be for the Guardians when the Witch Queen is “freed” from her worm. However, looking at the trailers where Savathûn appears, it does not seem that the worm has been removed. She still possesses the bright green glowing eyes that the parasitic worms also have.
Osiris is also missing, and many Guardians, especially Saint-14, hope for a happy ending and the decisive return of the Vex fanatic. However, one can infer that there will be no good ending for either party; it remains to be seen what Savathûn has planned.
What do you think of the secret construction of the bridge? Do you find it shocking that Bungie has “hidden” something so obvious right before the eyes of the Guardians? Let us know in the comments!
