In the MMORPG Metin2, hundreds of players were banned. The team has now reviewed whether these bans were justified and apologizes to those affected.
How did the bans occur? The MMORPG Metin2, which is now also available on Steam, uses software called CheatBlocker. This is intended to prevent cheaters or bots from overwhelming the game. The software works automatically and bans players based on certain guidelines.
Now there has been a wave of complaints, as Metin2 fans cannot understand why they were banned. Even characters that were not played at all suddenly received a ban.

Metin2 is already over 16 years old but still receives new expansions.
Metin2 Team apologizes for unjustified bans
How did the team respond to this? The Community Management explained that they have received many requests and complaints from customers and therefore are now reviewing these bans. It is said that the CheatBlocker software will also be reviewed to better detect fraud cases in the future.
Furthermore, the team states that real cheaters were indeed detected, but there were actually unjustified bans in both December and during the current ban wave in March.
What will happen now? The team will review the accounts that were banned in December and March and will quickly unban any unjustified bans. However, this may take some time.
We will unban all accounts that were banned in March and December as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it may take some time until all affected accounts are unbanned, but the process has already started.
It is said that no inquiries should be sent to the team, as the support system could otherwise become overloaded. They ask for patience and apologize for the inconvenience.
Why the problem is even more serious: Now even banned accounts are to be reviewed that received a ban over the past year. It seems that the CheatBlocker software has not been working accurately enough for some time.
Additionally, we will look into previous bans (for example, from last year). We will announce further details as soon as we have the results.
This gives some players hope of getting their characters back after many months and thus being able to play the latest expansion.
What about compensation? The team wants to review compensation since some costumes, pets, or items may no longer be available. However, more details will be provided later.
What do you think about the situation? Do you still consider automatic bans to be good to keep cheaters and bots in check?

New World has released a new update in alpha named “The Empress of Ebonscale Reach.” It includes previously announced features such as the first dungeon and the PvP mode, but also several other adjustments.
What are the highlights of the update? The patch notes for the new alpha update in March contain over 7,000 words and cover basically every aspect of the game:
A new area called Ebonscale Reach.
The Garden of Genesis is the first dungeon in New World. Details and images have now been published.
There are new quests for levels 1 to 40, for armors, weapons, and fishing.
The UI has been adjusted, especially for the inventory.
There have been several balance adjustments.
The complete overview of the update can be found on the official New World page. We at MeinMMO will explain the new features and why they are important.
New content in New World has Asian influences
What is Ebonscale Reach? The newest area in New World is aimed at players level 51 or higher and is located north of Monarch’s Bluffs. The zone is named after a black mushroom that grows abundantly there.
Visually, it has some Asian influences, and you will encounter a fallen empress haunting the ruins of the city. She commands an army of corrupted beings against which you must fight in the area.
This is what the new area looks like.
What kind of dungeon is this? The Garden of Genesis is officially described as a “5-player expedition.” However, it features two boss fights, which are briefly introduced in the overview:
The Guardian: Beware in the murky waters of the realm of this once-gentle giant.
The Rotting Gardener: This soul afflicted by rot watches over the heart of the Garden of Genesis.
The entrance to the expedition is located in the northwest of the crater in Edenheim. Additionally, two prequests must be completed before one can enter the dungeon. You should be able to find equipment items marked as loot there.
Dungeons and general endgame content were a point of criticism in the first tests of New World. Previously, there was only an arena with a boss enemy in it. Now, two new areas and the Garden of Genesis have been introduced, which are important steps for long-term engagement.
New PvP area: Already during the postponement of the release date of New World, a new 20v20 PvP mode was announced. The Outpost Rush is now also in the game. Further information will be released in the future.
Here too, Amazon is directly addressing a point of criticism from the tests. The PvP in the open world was deemed unimportant, while the interesting fort battles only occur at fixed times. With the outposts, there is now new content for PvP fans.
New images from New World: With this update, several images of new contents have been shown. It is currently unclear whether these belong to the new dungeon, the PvP mode, or the area Ebonscale Reach:
According to the update, all quests in the main storyline up to level 40 have been revised. An English voiceover has also been added for the initial quests.
At the same time, Amazon has created 5 new armor quests and 3 weapon quests. The equipment is aimed at players at least level 40, but is not meant to compete with endgame gear. A positive aspect is that you do not need to farm materials but only need to complete the quests.
New quests have also been added for fishing. Additionally, there are new fishing gear and special fishing rods.
The required experience points from level 8 to 60 have been reduced by 10%
The experience points from PvP missions have been reduced by 5 to 18%
There are now 40% less EXP for monsters that are 10 to 19 levels below the player.
What changes are being made to the loot in New World? In general, the loot in the MMO is to become “more logical” and “relevant”. Chests will now always drop between 2 and 3 equipment items. Additionally, there should be more equipment from quest rewards.
At the same time, the equipment has been adjusted to bind to the player upon pickup or at the latest when equipping it. This is intended to keep the economy in the game intact.
The new inventory interface: The inventory has been visually revised and also adjusted content-wise:
You can now better view your equipped gear
Better drag-and-drop has been implemented so that you no longer accidentally throw away items
Values for equipment weight have been added to better perceive the limits
The new inventory in New World (currently only in low resolution).
Adjustments to the combat system, attributes, and balance
What else has changed?
As in previous alpha updates, New World has continued to adjust the enemy AI. These should now provide a better player experience.
The equipment weight now has new influences on your playstyle, bringing a damage bonus with light and medium load but a longer stun when wearing heavy gear.
Additionally, the attributes have been revised to now have a greater influence on the weapons. In return, the base damage of the weapons has been reduced.
Basically, every armor type and every weapon has received new balance adjustments with the patch. Assessing how they impact the game is difficult due to the NDA.
What do you think about the current changes in New World? Is there something that particularly appeals to you or do you miss a revision?
Cortyn will start complaining again. Especially in World of Warcraft, players love to pull out the “€13 joker.” And that is incredibly annoying.
Yes, a complaining Wednesday. It’s been a long time, but it’s about time again. Over the past weeks, months, and years too many topics have piled up that need to be addressed and about which I just have to rant a bit. It feels therapeutic for me and might be entertaining for you. So, you can roughly look forward to hearing me complain again every two weeks. Or reading it. You know what I mean.
Of course, we’ll start again with my main game – World of Warcraft. But we won’t talk about the game itself, but about a very special faction of players that you just can’t get rid of:
The players who like to pull out the “€13 joker.”
What is the €13 joker? For those who don’t know: World of Warcraft costs money monthly, after all, it’s a subscription game. In addition to the base costs for the current expansion, you pay a monthly subscription. A one-month subscription costs €13. Whenever something in the game isn’t how you’d like it to be, you can ironically pull the “€13 joker.” After all, you are paying €13 per month, so the game should please be exactly how you like it.
Dissatisfied and angry. Perfect candidates for the €13 joker.
By the Nether, these people get on my nerves.
No matter if in the official forum, on the World of Warcraft subreddit, in the game’s chat channels, or on any conceivable internet platform. Whenever anything is disliked, the €13 joker is pulled.
Maintenance work on Wednesday morning at 3:00 AM? What are you actually paying €13 for?
A bug at the launch of an expansion requires an additional 30 minutes of gameplay to be made up? What are you actually paying €13 for?!
Your class is nerfed because others complained about their performance in PvP? What are you actually paying €13 for?!?!
The Blizzard support only responds after a day and can’t restore your deleted item? WhAt ArE YoU aCtUaLlY PaYiNg €13 for?!?!
Other players won’t take you into dungeons because you are acting like an unsympathetic idiot? WhAt ArE YoU aCtUaLlY PaYiNg €13 for?!?!111
There is a very simple answer to what you pay €13 for: For access to World of Warcraft. For the game that the developers built. Nothing more and nothing less.
I actually don’t like the descriptions that start with “These are the same people who then …” But here it’s just so fitting. Because the €13 joker faction are likely the same players who complain every day in the trade channel that there’s nothing to do in WoW anymore and that the game is being led more and more towards the abyss.
Likewise, typical players, who are stuck in phase 6 of their WoW journey forever. After all, one is only here to witness the misery live and to watch all the “dumb sheep” let Blizzard pull money out of their pockets.
Or you are simply incapable of filling your free time with a fun hobby and letting go of old habits that haven’t brought you joy for a long time. Ah, sorry. Once again, thinking out loud.
I always wonder if these people also act like this with other services. Do they also pay for a Netflix subscription for 2 years, only to complain month after month that their favorite childhood series like Dragon Ball Z or Sailor Moon aren’t on Netflix? Do they still hold a season pass to the student cafeteria, even though it switched to strictly vegan food three years ago – while they would love to have meat every day?
At some point, doesn’t the point come where one simply realizes: “I’m paying here for something that no longer brings me joy. This €13 would be better invested elsewhere. Maybe I should take a look at another MMO or treat myself to a game on Steam.”
I have the suspicion: These people are not paying the €13 to play World of Warcraft. They are paying €13 to buy the right to be dissatisfied.
If all these players who are only dissatisfied and haven’t been able to detach themselves from WoW take their €13 and simply do what brings them joy, everyone would be helped. Them and all the annoyed fellow players who don’t want to hear the whining every day anymore.
The VR MMORPG Zenith showcases new gameplay. This makes a very interesting impression and shows how we might play MMORPGs in the future.
What is Zenith? The cross-platform MMORPG was successfully funded through a Kickstarter campaign and places you in a colorful cyberpunk world. In this world, many adventures await you, which you experience even more immersively with a virtual reality headset than with conventional online role-playing games.
There are no classes; you determine your playstyle through your equipment
The battles are fast and action-packed
You can glide and climb
Housing plays a role
You can craft your own equipment
World events, quests, and also raids bring variety to the game
The MMORPG uses SpatialOS technology to generate and manage the large game world. This is intended to eliminate loading screens
The MMORPG is set to be released for both PC and Playstation.
This is what the VR future of MMORPGs might look like

The video shows 30 minutes of gameplay from the VR MMORPG Zenith.
What can be seen in the new video? For 30 minutes, you will see gameplay showcasing how players explore the large, colorful world and fight against monsters. You will see how fast and dynamic the battles are.
A dungeon is also briefly shown, where the opponents are significantly tougher. Also interesting is the chat function. The chat pops up directly in your field of view, and you can then write regularly.
However, what is shown is still not much. Aside from fighting and running around, not much is possible at this time. Zenith is still in a very early alpha phase.
Nevertheless, it is clear to see how VR contributes to a deeper immersion in the game world. This shows how the future of gaming could look. We are closer to the action thanks to VR, experience the world more intensely, and feel even more like we are in the middle of it all. This elevates games to the next level.
How is the feedback? The reactions to the video are very positive. Players are really looking forward to finally trying out Zenith for themselves.
Gaming Robot x y w writes on Youtube: “I can’t wait to get my hands on the game!”
Shawdaw W Haicks wants to play finally: “It was so much fun to watch this. I can’t wait to enter the world of Zenith myself.”
Weed agrees: “I’m so excited and can’t wait to spend many hours in the game.”
VR-gaming is also excited: “Wow, could it be that this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for?”
Clestra cha is a bit more reserved: “It looks good, but some of the gameplay seems a bit simplified.”
How can you join?A pre-alpha has already taken place. On the official website, it is possible to purchase founder packages that grant you access to the alpha and beta. For $39.99, you can participate in the next early-bird alpha starting on April 19.
Is a VR headset absolutely necessary? In addition to headsets such as Steam VR, PlayStation VR, Oculus Quest, and Oculus Rift, the PC version will also allow play without VR hardware. So you don’t necessarily need a headset.
In Destiny 2, 6 new weapons are really rare, that has changed. Unfortunately, Bungie forgot to inform the Guardians about this in the patch notes.
What this change is about: On March 16, Destiny 2 received update 3.1.1. As always, there are extensive patch notes that address all changes. Only the information that playlist weapons now drop more frequently was forgotten to be communicated to the Guardians.
That these new and previously very rare weapons now land more often in your inventory after activities was confirmed by Community Manager Dylan “dmg04” Gaffner on Twitter. According to him, the team at Bungie prompted him to inform the players:

Why this is such good news: The aforementioned playlist weapons were added to the core activities Gambit, Crucible, and Strikes with the start of Season 13. They can only drop after completing the respective activity. However, the chance to get a God Roll is probably comparable to winning the lottery.
The guns are really rare, and some Guardians have already completed a full rank reset and seen only one of the new weapons or, worse: none at all.
Furthermore, the potential perk pool on the playlist weapons is huge, so you need double the luck: first, the rare weapon has to drop, then the perks must also be right.
However, really strong combinations are possible in balancing.
For all Guardians primarily wandering in PvP, the most important change since the start of Season 13 is expected next week. On March 23, Bungie will significantly tweak the Stasis classes and nasty Ice abilities that have turned the Crucible into a frozen nightmare.
How long does Season 13 in Destiny last? The Season of the Chosen started on February 9 and runs until May 11. Thus, it is a “typical” MMO shooter season that lasts 3 months. The next Season 14 will directly continue on May 11 and will bring, for example, the raid highlight from Destiny 1, the Glass Vault, back in a new guise.
This is how the community reacts: The community is visibly pleased that the weapons are supposed to appear more frequently. However, some predict under the Twitter post from dmg04 that the drop rate is still far too low.
Especially for the most attractive of the 6 guns, Last Dollar, the chance seems to be particularly low – some Guardians say. They painfully miss an exact number.
New weapons will not be thrown at you in Destiny 2
Is that it now? The Community Manager promised that they would continue to address the issue in the next season. And more playlist weapons are expected to find their way into the game in the future.
Previously, Bungie talked about why the weapons are so rare. They want to dangle a loot carrot in front of the guardians, and players should immediately check the roll with every drop. If they were to distribute the new weapons too generously to players, they wouldn’t feel like they found something special. In Year 1 of Destiny 2, players were flooded with exotics, which did not go over well in the long run – now they are taking the opposite approach.
Our goal in introducing these rewards was to create space for longer periods and ritual-specific goals for players while chasing the perfect roll of a weapon and to allow similar exploration of possible perk rolls on a weapon archetype as weapon designers do.
Chris Proctor, Weapon Lead at Bungie (via Bungie.net)
In this way, the guardians should feel a lasting reward when playing the core activities – now with the increased drop rate, this should hopefully finally be possible as Bungie intended.
Have you already felt something from the buffed drop chance or have you just been waiting for the “go” to diligently farm for God Rolls? Do you even understand the hype around the weapons or are you doing just fine without them? Let us know in the comments.
In Pokémon GO the very first Weather Week starts next week. It brings Shiny Formeo in the Rain Form, the Therian Form of Voltolos, and a Stardust bonus. We show you the details of the Weather Event on MeinMMO.
What has been announced? The Weather Week in Pokémon GO is said to be an event that will occur regularly. The bonuses and Pokémon will relate to the current weather. The first event brings the important Therian Form of Voltolos into the game, along with shiny Formeo in the Rain Form.
Find out here in the overview on MeinMMO how the spawns, eggs, and raids will change. And how you can earn more Stardust during the event.
Spawns, Raids, and Shiny in the Weather Week
When does the event take place? The Weather Week starts in Pokémon GO on Wednesday, March 24, at 10:00 AM and runs until Monday, March 29, at 8:00 PM local time.
How spawns will change: Generally, Formeo appears more frequently in the wild. In stormy weather or rain, Wingull and Piccolente appear. Those lucky enough might encounter Shiny Formeo in the Rain Form for the first time.
Particulars about the Weather Spawns: From the start of the event until March 27 at 10:00 AM, Pokémon like Aquana, Loturzel, or Flunschlick that prefer rain will appear more frequently. From March 27 at 10:00 AM until the end of the event, Pokémon that enjoy stormy weather will appear more frequently. This includes Panzaeron, Schwalbini, and Dusselgurr.
What’s in 5-km eggs: From 5-km eggs that you receive during the event, the following Pokémon can hatch: Enton, Quapsel, Wablu, Driftlon, Mantirps, Schallquap, and Piccolente.
Who will you meet in raids? Corresponding to the event, the bosses you encounter in the various difficulty levels of raids will change. Not all bosses have been confirmed yet. We show you here which ones Niantic has already mentioned:
Raid Level
Bosses
Level 1
Including Flegmon and Zapplardin
Level 3
Including Schwalboss and Pelipper
Level 5
Voltolos in the Therian Form
Mega Raid
Mega-Hundemon, Mega-Voltenso and Mega-Rexblisar
New Shiny: For the shiny hunters among you, the Weather Week will be exciting. You already know Formeo in Pokémon GO, but the Shiny Rain Form will likely be the shiny highlight of the Weather Week. In the following graphic, we show you the normal Rain Form and its shiny variant:
The Stardust Bonus
How does it work? The Stardust bonus affects the catches of Pokémon. However, this only counts for Pokémon with weather boost. If you catch Pokémon with weather enhancement during the event, you will receive “additional” Stardust for them. How much additional Stardust you get is still unclear.
How good will the event be?
What Niantic says: In the announcement, Niantic writes, “Look forward to the very first Weather Week, during which Pokémon that enjoy rain and storms will appear more frequently in the wild.” The fact that they mention the “very first” indicates that more will follow in the future.
For shiny hunters: You can expect a new shiny that you can primarily find in the rain. So take advantage of the “bad” weather if you want to catch the shiny.
The new Voltolos: The Therian Form of Voltolos is stronger than its Incarnate Form. Just a few days ago, data miners found new information about its moveset. With its high attack value, Voltolos in the Therian Form deals a lot of damage. However, its low DEF and STA values mean that it doesn’t last long in battles.
What do you think of the outlook for the Weather Week? Is this an event you would like to see more of in the future, or do you find it not exciting enough? Let us know in the comments on MeinMMO.
In the coming weeks, there will be a lot happening in Pokémon GO. This includes a special raid weekend where you can diligently battle bosses. Check our overview for all events in March 2021 in Pokémon GO.

In World of Warcraft you now receive 1,600 Gold “along the way” every week. A quest reward has been significantly improved.
With the start of this WoW week (03/17/2021), there is a new method to earn a little extra Gold. A quest that was essentially mandatory every week has now become optional. However, it gives a nice chunk of Gold that you can take with you almost effortlessly.
Which quest is it? It is the weekly quest of your Covenant, where you need to collect 1,000 Anima. Previously, this quest granted a renown level every week and was therefore important for character progression. Now, at Renown level 40, that is no longer the case, and the quest is irrelevant for progression. To ensure players still complete this mission, Blizzard has adjusted the quest reward. Anyone completing the weekly quest now receives 1,600 Gold.
Does this apply to all players? No, only to players who have already reached Renown level 40. Those who still need to catch up – especially on an alt character – will continue to receive a renown level as a reward. Only when the maximum renown level is reached will the Gold reward from the quest be given in the following week.
Collect Anima for the Covenant – now you get Cash for it!
Is it worth it? That is something everyone must decide for themselves. Generally, the effort of 1,000 Anima for 1,600 Gold is quite high. However, if you are already collecting your 1,000 Anima in the week – whether through world quests, dungeons, or raids – you should simply accept the mission and complete it on the side. Because who would leave 1,600 Gold lying around that you can simply get for free?
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
What other ways are there to earn Gold? Currently, there are a number of ways to earn Gold. Just completing world quests and daily calling quests already brings in a nice sum. However, there are also methods where players can allegedly earn up to 47,000 Gold per hour – it’s worth a try.
Are you taking the bonus Gold with you? Or will you forget the quest anyway now that it’s not mandatory anymore?

Starting Thursday, you can officially buy AMD’s RX 6700 XT. This means a wide range of new graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia are available to you. MeinMMO wants to know which graphics card interests you the most.
If you want to play demanding games or have high frame rates in games, you need a fast graphics card (GPU). AMD and Nvidia’s new graphics cards come at just the right time for us.
Because there have been some significant developments in the hardware market over the past few months:
AMD has introduced the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which will be available in stores starting March 18th. This is a graphics card aimed at gamers with WQHD resolutions.
Nvidia recently released its smallest RTX 3000 graphics card, the GeForce RTX 3060. This is a graphics card for Full HD.
AMD has also unveiled the Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6900 and released them at the end of November 2020. These are AMD’s new high-end models that aim to compete with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090. Nvidia had released these slightly earlier.
However, not everything is running smoothly at the moment, as many graphics cards are completely sold out, and many gamers have to either pay exorbitant prices or cannot get the desired hardware at all. In our last survey about graphics card prices, you surprised us with a high budget and you are indeed willing to pay a lot of money for new hardware.
Your opinion is requested: We at MeinMMO want to know which graphics card from the new generation interests you the most. A total of 11 graphics cards are available:
5 Radeon graphics cards from AMD
6 GeForce graphics cards from Nvidia
In our survey, you can select all new graphics cards and also the mobile variants.
Let us know in the comments why you made your choice and which graphics card you are choosing.
How can I vote? You can make your choice as usual in the survey tool in this article. Additionally, you can discuss with other readers under our article.

The mini-game “Guests at Wanmin Restaurant” in Genshin Impact has started. This can offer you some rewards – including Primogems.
What kind of game is this? It is a browser game that is supposed to be available from March 16 to March 25, 2021. “Guests at Wanmin Restaurant” places you in the namesake Wanmin Restaurant in Liyue. You are to assist the chef Xiangling in cooking. For your help, you can look forward to rewards that you can claim until March 30.

What you need to do: There are a total of 9 menus to prepare, each consisting of 6 dishes. Preparing the menus will earn you various rewards. Each dish preparation consumes one preparation opportunity, which you can receive daily. Overall, you can cook up to three menus during the event period and claim the corresponding rewards. Additionally, your character in the game will receive a portion of the dish via message.
From the 9 menus, you can select up to 3 if you play consistently. You can find the menus and their rewards here:

In a frantic battle around the zero point, various characters are going berserk. Fortnite agent Jones dives into the melee and is attacked by a Xenomorph, war god Kratos fights against a pancake man, and the Predator engages in a duel with a muscle ache. In short: things are getting quite wild.
In the midst of the chaos, a character who has become a staple in Fortnite waves at the running agent Jones. This is Schali – a banana-human hybrid, who originally came in Season 8 and later appeared in various versions multiple times. There was Summer Schali, Agent Schali – you can imagine it.
But the reunion of Jones and Schali is only short-lived. Because while Schali is friendly waving while staring into the camera, he gets hit from the right by a “Hadouken” – an energy ball from the Street Fighter legend Ryu.

The fight is pretty wild – and claims (at minute 1:18) a vitamin-rich sacrifice
The humanoid piece of fruit doesn’t survive that. Schali bursts and his insides are spread all over the stressed Jones. Ryu celebrates the treacherous attack in the background with a victory pose, but then he himself gets hit by a rocket.
In the Fortnite subreddit, Schali’s end is discussed in multiple posts. Some users believe, however, that the farewell will not be of long duration. Because this is not the first time that Schali has fallen victim to the events of the Fortnite story.
The Infinite Banana
Not Schali’s first death: Besides the fact that the banana skin will probably be shot down in countless Fortnite matches anyway, Schali has also successfully survived the story scene death.
When Season 9 started in Chapter 1, the piece of fruit was actually caught once before. At that time, the banana and the character Jonesy were stuck in a bunker. While they initially had a fun time together, at some point the supplies ran out.
At least Schali didn’t seem to take his demise too personally back then
At that point, Jonesy evidently decided to let any moral concerns fade away and made a smoothie out of Schali. He even fashioned a cape out of the peel. A rather brutal end to a short friendship, that MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn found really dark back then.
Later, the banana returned in a bony half-skeleton half-vitamin supplier version: for Fortnitemares, meaning after the blender incident, he returned as a horror skin.
The horror banana. Really… scary?
The blender death did not keep Schali from returning and then also – again in his original form – being part of the fight for the zero point. So … at least for a short time.
Does the tasks in FIFA 21 require a low driven shot? This is how to take the shot correctly.
What is the purpose of the low driven shot? Aside from the fact that this shot can be very effective for scoring goals, players also need it more often for objectives. These then require a certain number of goals using this specific shot.
The low driven shot is needed occasionally for weekly objectives or player challenges. It’s worth adding it to your repertoire.
The correct shot for the respective situation can be crucial
This is how to execute the low driven shot in FIFA 21
Button combination in FIFA 21: In the shooting overview, you will find the “low driven shot” under the name “Driven Shot.” The combination for this is very simple:
On PS4, you perform a low driven shot by pressing L1 + R1 + Circle simultaneously.
On Xbox One, this corresponds to the combination of LB + RB + B.
If you use this combination during a cross for a header, it will also be a low shot towards your opponent’s goal.
When is the low driven shot worthwhile? The low driven shot is quite versatile, but is especially suitable as a powerful finishing variant from close range. In FIFA 20, it mainly resulted in goals when shot into the near corner past the keeper. In FIFA 21, a low driven shot into the far corner can also be effective.
However, it is not particularly effective as a long shot. If you try to succeed with the driven shot from outside the box, it may end up trickling on its way toward the net and can easily be picked up by the keeper.
For GTA Online, a new patch is now live. It has reduced loading times, at least on PC. The change is now official, but originally came from a fan. Initial reports from players show that loading times are drastically shorter.
What is this patch? Today, on March 16, 2021, Rockstar released a new update for GTA Online. This includes among other things:
an improvement in network connectivity for PS4, Xbox, and PC
Loading times are now this short: The Twitter channel GTA Series Videos posted a short clip showing the new loading times of GTA Online. According to the tweet, starting the online mode from the intro screen now takes only one minute and 56 seconds.
If you are already in single-player mode, the start should even take only 36 seconds, which is significantly shorter. The embedded clip from Twitter provides the proof:

Long loading times have been bothering players for ages
Loading times between 30 seconds and 2 minutes are a significant improvement over the previous loading times. It often took between 10-15 minutes to get from the intro screen into the game.
At least on PC, that should now be a thing of the past. With the fix, loading times are about 70% shorter, even though initial reactions on Twitter mock that Rockstar took a whole 8 years to implement it.
Have you already downloaded the patch? How short are the loading times now for you?

Today, on March 16, it’s time for the Weekly Reset in Destiny 2 for the Guardians. This brings new weekly challenges as well as a fresh Nightfall. But what else is there for players to do?
What is happening in Destiny 2 right now? Today is Update Day in Destiny 2. This means that you must first download and install Update 3.1.1 before you can start the new Destiny week. Once you’ve completed that, you can prove how tough you are and earn the new Master weapons in PvE.
These are the sources for Powerful Loot in Season 13 of Destiny 2
This is how Powerful Loot is structured in Destiny 2: Powerful Loot comes in several tiers, providing you various power boosts. Therefore, higher tiers also grant you higher power boosts.
Tier 1 (up to +3 above the current Power level)
Tier 2 (up to +4 above the current Power level)
Tier 3 (up to +5 above the current Power level)
Powerful Gear (+5 or more above the Power level. The only gear that goes above 1300 and up to a maximum of 1310 – after that, the level jumps decrease by +1)
Destiny 2 receives Update 3.1.1 today, on March 16th, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, as well as on PC and Google Stadia. The patch brings maintenance and a brief server downtime. We provide you with the times and a preview of the changes.
What’s coming today: Before you can struggle in the Nightfall leaderboard or continue the assassination story of Zavala and the Cabal Empress from Season 13, a mandatory break is on the agenda today.
Update 6:05 PM: Update 3.1.1 is now available on all platforms. It is 492 MB on PlayStation 5.
The update 3.1.1 is released on March 16th and fixes many gameplay bugs. However, this is also accompanied by maintenance work and server downtime.
You will find all the important times and changes here. MeinMMO keeps this article updated throughout the day so you don’t miss anything.
Maintenance on March 16th – Everything about the process and server downtime
These times are important today:
At 5 PM German time, the maintenance work will begin.
At 5:45 PM, the servers will go completely offline. If you are still in Destiny 2, you will be kicked.
By 6 PM, the servers will be online again and update 3.1.1 will be available for download.
Once you have downloaded (and copied) the update, you can log back into Destiny 2.
At 7 PM, the maintenance work is expected to be fully completed as planned. There may be login issues or queues until the end.
As always, please note: The planned times are not set in stone. In the past, there have been deviations, which we will report on MeinMMO. Also, during maintenance, third-party applications or the official companion app will not be fully available.
What changes does update 3.1.0.2 bring to Destiny 2 today?
Bungie has already given a preview of the changes from update 3.1.1. However, if you expect balance adjustments for Stasis in PvP today, you will have to wait until March 23rd.
These fixes are coming today:
“Arbalest” has less aim assist, which should make precise hits in the Crucible harder.
In the strike “Fallen S.A.B.E.R.”, numerous problems have been fixed: The boss now appears correctly, issues in the mission dialogue and other annoyances are a thing of the past.
The strike “Devil’s Cave” should run smoother: The boss has a health bar, the physics of the mission and spawns work as intended.
These exotic armors receive fixes: “Starfall Harness” only grants overshield during Thundercrash, “Dune Strider” correctly triggers their shock now, “Omnioculus” grants melee energy as planned, and some faulty descriptions have been corrected.
For numerous weapons and their perks, descriptions or effect displays are now shown correctly.
The triumph “Double Trouble” from the Dreaming City can now be obtained.
Completing the Ascendant challenge “Shrine of Avarice” now provides correct progress for the triumphs “Ascendant Champion” and “Sharpened Edge”.
Especially on consoles, Arbalest has developed into a hate weapon for many guardians in PvP
What you should also know: Currently, players are having a lot of fun with a glitch that allows oversized fireteams in raids and nightfalls, for example.
Bungie humorously describes the fix: “A problem has been fixed where players could cram 12 people into an activity that clearly couldn’t handle the power of so many guardians.”
Bungie also reports that today, on March 16th, you will temporarily not be able to collect clan XP (until 8 PM). If you have errors scanning objects in the Signs mission, you must first completely scan the “analyzable set from the previous week” and receive the corresponding triumph.
What does the official list say? Bungie publishes official patch notes for each update. Here all changes are listed and only then do we know what has changed in Destiny 2.
In the meantime, we have the German patch notes. Here we have linked the change log:
We have linked the original English change log for you here:
What do you think of the changes? Would you rather have the Stasis changes today or is the nerf for Arbalest enough to take another step into the Crucible? Do you think Bungie will take note of the great popularity of the 12-player glitch and bring larger activities in the future?

The PC case protects sensitive hardware from damage. But who says the case can’t look cool? MeinMMO presents 7 PC cases that look really good and will surely make you jealous.
Why do people design such elaborate PCs? Designing or modifying PC cases has become a passion for certain individuals. This form of art is also known as case modding. Individuals (or “modders”) sometimes spend weeks or months of hard work on their computers.
There are even competitions held among case modders nowadays. At these events, or at gaming conventions such as E3 or Gamescom, the cases are presented. Here, not only a good idea counts, but also skill and a deft hand.
It’s not just about the case looking great; it’s also about the PC functioning properly so you can game without issues. What you see in the following images is therefore not just theory. You can fundamentally game with these computers.
What’s this article about? MeinMMO has looked at various cases and presents 7 cool PC cases. Take your time to check them out and tell us which one you like best.
We have consciously made a pre-selection. Since we can’t present dozens of cases, we have chosen 7 that we particularly liked.
And in the end, it’s your turn, because we want to know which of the presented cases you like best.
Fallout 76 Case Mod
What kind of case is this? The user “Pause_Hardware” calls his case “Fallout 76 Case Mod”. The modder chose the game Fallout 76 as his theme and presented the case on Builds.gg.
The original case is actually the Phanteks – Enthoo Evolve X. However, there is little recognizable from its original state. Modder Pause_Hardware only made small adjustments to the case. A perfectly coordinated build resulted.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
This hardware is inside the case: Powerful components are installed inside:
RTX 2080 Ti
Intel Core i9-9900K
16 GB RAM
Here you can see the case:
The Fallout case of modder Pause_Hardware. Source: Builds.gg
What we particularly like: The many details are truly impressive. If you know Fallout, you will immediately recognize much: The case primarily uses blue and yellow-gold, and you can see how deeply the modder is involved in the theme. For example, he has integrated the emblem of the Steel Brotherhood into the case, and on the side, you can admire a Nuka-Cola vending machine.
This is what you will see on the next page: You liked the Fallout case, but it looks too much like a real PC? Then head to the next page.
Here you will find another case that was inspired by Fallout. But this time, the “case” is something very special. Read on and let yourself be surprised.

In Fortnite Season 6 you must hunt or you will be hunted. The stronger survives and everyone has to cope with what they find in the wilderness to properly arm themselves. In this guide, you will learn how to craft superior weapon variants.
This is new in Fortnite: Hunting and crafting your own weapons are undoubtedly the two biggest gameplay additions in this new Season 6 of Fortnite. In this season of the battle royale aptly named “Prehistoric,” you can actually upgrade your weapons using animal bones and mechanical parts.
Weapon upgrades have been around in Fortnite: Battle Royale for a while, but never has the feature been so easy to access while in-game. Gone are the upgrade benches or even special NPCs. In Season 6, weapon upgrades can be performed anywhere and anytime. Just select one of your weapons from the inventory menu and upgrade it with the required resources.
Weapon upgrades now work easily if you have the resources for it
Each weapon base is then divided into recipes, allowing you to specialize your original weapons according to your preferences! The material costs vary depending on the rarity of the variant you want to craft.
Where to find the resources?
The components you need to upgrade your gear are: animal bones and mechanical parts. You can find the bones by hunting and killing the new wild animals that inhabit the game island. A pack of wolves will obviously provide you with more resources than a chicken. To find wild animals, it’s easiest to venture into the forests and meadows, away from the hustle and bustle of the towns.
Mechanical parts can be found with certain NPCs on the island.

In the MOBA League of Legends: Wild Rift, the new patch 2.1b introduced 3 new champions. They all have unique features and strengths that make them highly useful. We at MeinMMO reveal how good they are.
What happened? With the latest patch, 3 champions have been brought into the game:
Diana, the Scorn of the Moon
Leona, the Radiant Dawn
Pantheon, the Unyielding Spear
On reddit and also on YouTube, there are already initial assessments of these three champions. They are all considered strong and will likely be ranked in A or even S-Tier for their respective roles in the Tier List.
How strong are Diana, Pantheon, and Leona in Wild Rift
How does Diana perform? On reddit, there are initial videos showcasing Diana’s potential. The user Vorikx posted a video in which he easily achieves a triple kill with her.
The video currently has 225 upvotes and sits at number 1 in the subreddit. Numerous comments are gathering under the video praising this champion, as well as the other two:
ZmentAdverti says: ‘Her combo is so easy to execute, and her well-timed abilities make it practically impossible to win a fight/teamfight against her.’
Slicc12 writes: ‘All 3 new champions feel good and so strong.’
reasonable_pan is already expecting a nerf: ‘Nerf for Diana is definitely coming!’
Diana is played as an assassin in the mid lane and has a high damage output combined with a shield. She is currently rated as an S-Tier mid laner.

How strong is Pantheon? Pantheon seems to be the weakest of the 3 champions right now, but he enters the game with an incredible amount of flexibility. In a reddit post, user Raijino explains that Pantheon can be played both in the middle and top lane, as well as in the jungle and as support.
He sees huge potential in Pantheon simply because there is still no role selection in ranked play. So, if you log in Pantheon right from the start, you can essentially adapt him flexibly, allowing you to go to any lane in the end.
As a combo, he generally recommends the following playstyle: Use “W” (ability 2) to attack the enemy, immediately strike with “Q” (ability 1) without holding down the ability, and finish with the third ability. This ensures high damage. Additionally, Pantheon can block turret attacks with his “E” (ability 3).
Based on initial assessments, Pantheon could end up in A-Tier in the mid lane and as a supporter, and slightly weaker in the top lane and jungle. In the latter, he particularly falls off due to damage in the late game.
How strong is Leona? Leona is the newest supporter and brings a lot of CC with her. This is particularly effective against the new champions Katarina and Diana.
Leona has been a popular supporter on PC for many years, and in Wild Rift she is making a good impression based on initial assessments. She is being considered an A or S-Tier supporter.
How strong her CC is can be seen in the video by reddit user Vlantimir.

What has changed for the champions? In addition to the new champions, there were also numerous balance adjustments to existing characters:
Aurelion Sol received a nerf for his passive and ultimate ability
Yasuo gets less base health and less damage from his ability “Thousand Blades”
Ziggs has been adjusted so that his ultimate ability hits a larger area, but the damage to towers has been reduced overall
Additionally, there was a buff for the supporter Soraka, who now provides more healing with Astral Infusion and has a reduced cooldown for Equinox.
Katarina, however, also a relatively new champion, did not receive a buff, even though Riot admits that the win rate is currently very low. The development in the coming weeks will determine whether there will be further adjustments.
Katarina was only released a few weeks ago in Wild Rift.
What else has changed with the patch? With Update 2.1b, the towers have been revamped. Before minute 3 in the game, the outer towers receive additional armor and magic resistance, and even more resistances when 3 or more champions are nearby. This is intended to prevent the playstyle where players want to quickly destroy a tower in overwhelming situations.
Additionally, 10 new skins have been added, which will be released gradually. The rotation of free champions has been adjusted.
March 18 to March 24: Corki, Darius, Graves, Katarina, Malphite, Nami, Shyvana, Soraka, Varus, Ziggs
March 25 to March 31: Akali, Draven, Jarvan IV, Jax, Rakan, Sona, Wukong, Xayah, Xin Zhao, Zed
For 2021, several major updates for Wild Rift are planned. In addition to regular tournaments and the release in America, the popular game mode ARAM is also set to be implemented. More about the developments in 2021 here: LoL Wild Rift is getting a new game mode in 2021 that many have wished for.

In Fortnite season 6 started now in week 1, bringing the Lara Croft challenges with it. You need to find 3 golden artifacts near The Spire. We will show you the locations of the golden llamas.
This is the task: When you start Fortnite now and look at the missions of season 6, you recognize Lara Croft there. She gives you the quest to find 3 golden artifacts. Normally, this is the job of the treasure hunter herself, but in Fortnite, it is said that her GPS is broken and that’s why she seeks your help.
We will show you exactly where you need to search. This way, the task will be no problem for you and you will quickly earn experience points.
Locations of the golden artifacts
Here you should search: The Spire is one of the new locations on the map. Due to its position in the middle of the map, you will easily find the location. It also helps that there is a large tower there. You cannot miss The Spire.
These are the locations:
Here you can find the wooden wall that you can break down
The first artifact can be found behind a wooden wall at the bottom of the round staircase that wraps around The Spire.
Artifact number 1 can be found behind the wall.
The second artifact: To find the second artifact, you need to go to the northeast of The Spire. You will find it near a staircase in an open house. Enter the hut and look in the corner. The artifact is by a pot.
Artifact number 2
The third artifact: Go to the marketplace that you find between the P and the I of “The Spire”. You will immediately notice the glowing artifact under one of the stalls.
You cannot miss the third artifact at the marketplace
Once you have collected all these artifacts, your task is done. You don’t have to do anything more. It’s best to check for enemies nearby before collecting. Since the start of season 6, The Spire has been a popular landing point in the first minutes of matches.
How do you like the new challenges from season 6? Are you having fun exploring the new locations and seeing where the quests lead you? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other Fortnite players.

Mit Dark Alliance kommt ein neues Action-RPG in der berühmten Welt von Dungeons & Dragons für PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One und Xbox Series X|S. Wir konnten bereits einen ersten Blick darauf werfen und zeigen, was euch mit Dark Alliance erwartet.
Was ist das für ein ARPG? Das neue Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance ist der geistige Nachfolger zu Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 1 und 2 (2001 und 2004). Entwickelt wird das Spiel von Wizards Studio und Tuque Games („Livelock“).
Ihr spielt einen von vier Charakteren in der Gruppe um den Drow Drizzt Do‘Urden, der bereits in den ersten Teilen eine wichtige Story-Rolle spielte. Die „Forgotten Realms“ werden von dunklen Mächten bedroht und ihr sollt dafür sorgen, dass sie ausgeschaltet werden.
Dazu zieht ihr alleine oder im dynamischen Koop mit bis zu drei weiteren Spielern in den Kampf gegen Trolle, Eis-Drachen, Betrachter („Beholder“) und mehr. Ihr schließt verschiedene Missionen ab und sammelt dabei Ausrüstung und Erfahrung, um immer stärker zu werden.
Wir von MeinMMO konnten in einer einstündigen Session bereits eine der Missionen zusammen mit Kevin Neibert, Lead Game Designer bei Tuque Games, spielen und haben einen ersten Einblick in die Mechaniken des Spiels erhalten. Kevin beantwortete uns beim Spielen auch einige Fragen.
Beachtet bitte, dass es sich dabei um eine unfertige Vorab-Version handelte, die sich zum fertigen Spiel stark unterscheiden kann.

Das ist das Gameplay: Ihr startet im Basis-Camp, von dem aus sämtliche Missionen geplant werden. Hier gibt es Händler, eine Weltkarte mit einer Übersicht aller Aufträge und einen Teleport zu den jeweiligen Leveln.
Gespielt wird Dark Alliance in dritter Person. Das hauptsächliche Gameplay besteht darin, sich durch die verschiedenen Level zu schlagen, Gegner und Bosse zu besiegen und Geheimnisse zu entdecken.
Vergleichbar ist das Spiel deswegen grob mit Warhammer: Vermintide 2, nur dass Dark Alliance auf wenige und härtere Gegner setzt statt auf riesige Horden. Viele Gegner haben besondere Fähigkeiten, sie können sich etwa besser schützen oder Verbündete stärken.
Auf diese Weise ist es wichtig, zu planen, welchen Gegner ihr wann tötet. Immer wieder tauchen kleine Mini-Bosse wie Trolle auf, die einen härteren Kampf liefern.
Eis-Trolle sind die Mini-Bosse, die wir beim Spielen in unserer Mission getroffen haben.
Das ist besonders gut gelungen: Dark Alliance legt einen großen Wert auf das Kampf-System. Je nachdem in welche Richtung ihr euch bewegt, werden eure Angriffe anders ausgeführt. Bewegt ihr euch etwa nach hinten bei einem Angriff, nutzen die meisten Charaktere eine eher ausweichende Bewegung – mit Ausnahme von Wulfgar, der sich als Berserker nicht zurückzieht, sondern stets näher zu seinen Feinden will.
Dazu gibt es verschiedene Combos, wenn die Angriffe aneinandergereiht werden, mit denen ihr Gegner effizienter erledigen könnt. Außerdem könnt ihr, ähnlich wie in Dark Souls, gegnerische Angriffe blocken und sogar parieren, um ihre Deckung für starke Angriffe zu öffnen.
Was ist Dungeons & Dragons? Das Rollenspiel von Wizards of the Coast erschien erstmals 1974 (1983 in Deutschland) und gehört zu den bekanntesten Vertretern des Genres. Es handelt sich dabei eigentlich um ein Pen&Paper, das mit namensgebenden Stiften und Papier an einem Tisch gespielt wird.
Spieler nutzen dabei ihren „Charakterbogen“ und erleben ein Abenteuer, das vom Spielleiter erzählt wird. Angriffe, Schaden und Fähigkeiten werden mit verschiedenen Würfeln (auch dem berühmten „W20“) ausgewürfelt.
Dungeons & Dragons, oder kurz D&D, hat über die Jahre viele verschiedene Videospiel-Adaptionen erhalten. Die wohl bekanntesten davon dürften Baldur‘s Gate, Dungeons & Dragons Online und Neverwinter sein.
Koop, Klassen und ganz viel Fortschritt
Das sind die Features: In Dark Alliance stehen euch vier Charaktere zur Auswahl mit ihren eigenen Fähigkeiten. Jeder dieser Charaktere verkörpert dabei eine Klasse aus dem Rollenspiel:
Drizzt Do‘Urden (Schurke): Ein Drow, der mit zwei Kurzschwertern bewaffnet mit schnellen und hinterhältigen Angriffen im Nahkampf kämpft.
Wulfgar (Barbar): Ein Mensch, der sich vor allem auf rohe Stärke und seine Zweihandwaffen verlässt, um Gegner mit starken Angriffen zu vernichten.
Cattie-brie (Waldläufer): Eine menschliche Waldläuferin, die aus der Distanz mit Pfeil und Bogen kämpft, Gegner kontrollieren und ihre Verbündeten heilen kann.
Bruenor (Kämpfer): Ein Zwerg und der „Tank“ der Gruppe, kämpft mit Axt und Schild im Nahkampf und kann Gegner davon abhalten, die restliche Gruppe anzugreifen.
Jeder dieser Charaktere kommt mit eigenen Fähigkeiten, die das Spiel über stärker werden sowie ultimative Fähigkeiten, die nach einer längeren Auflade-Zeit im Kampf aktiviert werden können. Ihr werdet keine eigenen Charaktere erstellen können, aber dürft jeden der vier Charaktere spielen mit eigenen Fortschritten.
Ausrüstung kommt in Form von Sets aus je acht Teilen, die allesamt bestimmte Eigenschaften und Set-Boni haben – etwa Verstärkung bestimmter Fähigkeiten oder Resistenzen. Je nach gespielter Schwierigkeit der Mission und Seltenheit des Sets wird diese stärker.
Koop ist ein wichtiger Aspekt in Dark Alliance. Hier nehmen es Drizzt Do’Urden und Cattie-brie mit ein paar Verbeeg auf.
Wie funktioniert Koop? Dark Alliance könnt ihr entweder alleine oder in einer Gruppe von bis zu vier Spielern spielen. Dabei passt sich die Schwierigkeit der Gegner dynamisch an die Gruppengröße an, ähnlich wie in Diablo 3.
Jede Mission kann deswegen auch alleine gespielt werden, ohne dabei deutlich im Nachteil zu sein. Die Charaktere können sich untereinander unterstützen, indem sie Gegner betäuben oder die Gruppe heilen. Synergien wie ineinandergreifende Elemente, etwa einfrieren und zerschmettern, gibt es allerdings nicht.
Die Beute wird persönlich verteilt, Gruppenmitglieder können euch also nichts wegschnappen. Bestimmte Items wie Währungen oder Lore-Gegenstände werden in der Gruppe geteilt, sodass sie jeder aufheben kann.
Jede Mission ist eine eigenständige, abgeschlossene Story, die lose mit den anderen zusammenhängt, und bietet einen Bosskampf am Ende. Wiederspielwert erhalten die Level durch höhere Schwierigkeitsgrade und immer stärkere Beute.
Das Gefühl des Rollenspiels ist in Dark Alliance stark adaptiert worden. Ihr zieht nicht einfach los und tötet Monster, sondern habt stets ein Ziel und einen Fortschritt in Form von besseren Waffen, Rüstungen oder Fähigkeiten.
Missionen bringt euch und euren Charakter weiter, indem ihr Ausrüstung am Ende der Mission erhaltet, Erfahrung sammelt und neue Aufträge freischaltet. Verstecke Geheimnisse und Rätsel in den Levels bieten zusätzliche Beute oder Lore zur Welt.
Die Schwierigkeit kann in sechs verschiedenen Graden und in den einzelnen Missionen zusätzlich angepasst werden. Nach einem Kampf habt ihr die Möglichkeit zu einer „kurzen Rast“, meist bis zu fünfmal pro Mission.
Entscheidet ihr euch für eine Rast, werden eure Lebenspunkte und Tränke wieder aufgefüllt. Außerdem dient die Rast dann als Respawn-Punkt, solltet ihr in einem Kampf unterliegen. Entscheidet ihr euch dagegen, bleibt ihr geschwächt, aber die Gegner hinterlassen mehr Beute.
Gegner und Bosse belohnen euch mit besserer Beute, wenn ihr es euch schwieriger macht.
Release und Plattformen
Wann und wo erscheint Dark Alliance? Der Release von Dark Alliance ist für den 22. Juni 2021 angesetzt. Das ARPG erscheint auf PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One und Xbox Series X. Auf der offiziellen Website DarkAlliance.com könnt ihr das Spiel bereits vorbestellen.
Die digitale Standard-Edition kostet 39,99 €. Die digitale Deluxe-Edition sowie das Steelbook kosten jeweils 59,99 € und beinhalten jeweils die kommende Erweiterung „Echoes of the Blood War“ sowie kosmetische Gegenstände.
Wer sollte sich Dark Alliance ansehen? Im Anschluss an die Session beantwortete uns Kevin Neibert noch einige Fragen. Auf die Frage, wer sich Dark Alliance ansehen sollte, nannte er zwei Gruppen an Spielern:
D&D-Fans, die das Tabletop oder andere D&D-Spiele spielen, weil Dark Alliance „sehr authentisch“ sei und auf die Lore sowie die Regelbücher des Rollenspiels aufbaue
Spieler, die nie D&D gespielt haben und die ein action-orientiertes Koop-Spiel mit ihren Freunden spielen möchten
Today, on March 16, 2021, the Spotlight Hour with Voltoball starts in Pokémon GO. We will show you the Stardust bonuses and the Shiny.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, the Spotlight Hour (in English “Spotlight Hour”) takes place in Pokémon GO. However, every week the Pokémon in the spotlight changes. The bonuses that are active during the event rotate from week to week. During the event hour, almost all spawns in the wild are limited to the event Pokémon.
Today, on March 16, the Pokémon Voltoball from the first generation is in the spotlight. Here on MeinMMO, we show you the important information you need for the event.
Spotlight with Voltoball – All Info
When does it start? As usual, the Spotlight Hour begins today at 6:00 PM. The event is active for one hour and should, if all goes according to plan, end at 7:00 PM.
These bonuses are active: During the event, you will find Voltoball almost everywhere in the wild of Pokémon GO. This fits well with the Electric Event, which has been active in the game since today. For you, the hour in the evening is a good opportunity if you still need Pokémon or Shinies for the collection.
As a special bonus, you will also receive double Stardust for catching Pokémon in the game. Since this dust is one of the most sought-after resources for trainers, Spotlight Hours with this bonus always have many participants.
Is there a Shiny Voltoball? Yes. At the latest since the big Kanto Tour in February, you can catch all Shinies from the 1st generation in Pokémon GO anyway. But Voltoball has existed in its shiny form for a longer time. The Shiny returned to the game with the Safari Zone in Philadelphia. In the following image, you see Shiny Voltoball and its evolution Lektroball.
The Shinies of Voltoball and Lektroball differ significantly from the “normal” version – they are blue instead of red
How good are Voltoball and Lektroball?
Why you should take advantage of the event: Voltoball is primarily worth it for those of you who are still looking for the Shiny variant. As an attacker, it is quite neglectable.
For Lektroball, the worthwhile uses are also limited. Only in the Great League can you rely on it if you really don’t have any other Electric Pokémon. But there are enough strong alternatives that make Lektroball look old. Take a look at the best attackers in Pokémon GO, sorted by type.
If you are looking for reasons to participate in today’s Spotlight Hour, you should hold on to the Shinies and the increased Stardust. Important attackers for your Pokémon collection won’t be caught here today. But if you are participating and collecting Stardust, then it’s best to activate a Star Piece to increase your yield.
Are you participating in today’s Spotlight Hour or are you skipping the event this time? Let us know your reasons here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
