Pokémon GO: Field Research in March 2021 – These 6 Are Worth It

Noah Struthoff 2. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are new field research tasks to complete for March 2021. MeinMMO shows you all the quests here and reveals which tasks are particularly worthwhile.

What’s new: March has started, and in Pokémon GO there are new field research tasks. You will find quests at PokéStops in the game that were not available before or other Pokémon are included as rewards.

The focus of the new quests is not on special Pokémon, yet there are several monsters that are worth catching.

All Field Research Tasks in March 2021

Here are the details: Diligent trainers in the Subreddit of TheSilphRoad have gathered and compiled all the quests. This list was created based on that.

Keep in mind that individual events in March might bring additional field research tasks to the game. We haven’t listed them here, but you will find them in the respective articles about the event.

Quests with Throws

Land 5 great curveball throws in a row
- Reward: Encounter with a Pandir #8*
Land 5 good throws
- Reward: Encounter with a Voltobal*
Land 3 great throws
- Reward: Encounter with a Nebulak*, Anorith* or Liliep*
Land 3 great throws in a row
- Reward: Encounter with an Onix*
Land 3 fabulous throws in a row
- Reward: Encounter with a Kaumalat*

In March, the Pandir form #8 is waiting for you. Always take the quest with you, as it is rare and Pandir is one of the rarest Shinys in the game.

The task with Voltobal is also recommended. The Pokémon appears extremely rarely outside of events in the game and is easy to obtain through the quest.

Additionally, you should take the quest with the 3 fabulous throws. It’s a bit tricky, but it rewards you with Kaumalat, which is a very rare Pokémon and can also be Shiny.

All Pokémon marked with an * can appear as Shiny.

Quests with Catching

Use 5 berries while catching Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Hubelupf
Catch a Dragon-type Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Dratini*
Catch 5 Pokémon with weather boost
- Reward: Encounter with a Quapsel* or Vulpix*
Catch 10 Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Karpador*
Catch 5 Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Ledyba*
Catch 10 Bug-type Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Yanma*

The task “Catch 5 Pokémon” is quick and possibly rewards you with Shiny Ledyba, which has been quite rare so far. So you should take advantage of the opportunity.

Quests with Battles

Win a raid
- Reward: Encounter with a Larvitar*
Defeat 2 Team GO Rocket Grunts
- Reward: Encounter with a Blanas
Win 5 raids
- Reward: Encounter with an Aerodactyl*
Win a level 3 raid or higher
- Reward: Encounter with a Kabuto* or Amonitas*
Win in the GO Battle League
- Reward: Encounter with a Quiekel

You should take the quests related to Larvitar. The evolution Tyranitar is one of the best attackers in the game and is definitely worth it.

More Quests

Send 3 gifts
- Reward: Encounter with a Porygon*
Use a incense
- Reward: Encounter with an Alola-Sleima*
Land a snapshot of an Electric Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Frizelbliz*
Trade a Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Schwalboss
Evolve a Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Waumpel* or Evoli*
Earn 5 hearts with your buddy
- Reward: Encounter with a Piccolente
Use 5 power-ups on Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with Squirtle*, Bulbasaur* or Charmander*

The quest related to the snapshot and Frizelbliz is worthwhile. The Pokémon is quite rare in its Shiny form, and taking a snapshot is quick. So you should make use of it.

What you should know about the Pandir form: This month, Pandir #8 is available to catch. You can also obtain it as Shiny. If you don’t have this Pandir yet, you should look for the quest.

How long will these quests be available? Normally, developer Niantic changes the field research tasks at the beginning of each month. Therefore, new field research tasks should be available on April 1st at 10:00 PM German time. However, this is not confirmed.

Research Breakthrough in March 2021

What’s in the research breakthrough? In March 2021, you will receive a Kaumalat as a breakthrough. You will be able to catch this rare dragon Pokémon until April 1st.

With the new month, there is also a new season in Pokémon GO. This has also brought many changes. We show you the new spawns and adjustments in the overview:

2 of the best weapons from CoD Warzone can only be found with luck

Maik Schneider 2. March 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, there are 3 guns that you cannot use in Battle Royale Warzone, even though both games share the weapons. Currently, you can, however, find the RAAL LMG and the MP CX-9 with some luck and benefit from their great strength.

The era of Modern Warfare is long over, yet new weapons from Call of Duty 2019 are stirring up some dust in Battle Royale Warzone.

Since the start of Season 2 of Cold War, you have pretty good chances of finding two fresh weapons in Warzone that have come “new” from CoD MW to Battle Royale. Both are really strong, but only available with luck.

CX-9 and RAAL LMG shouldn’t actually exist

What kind of weapons are these? These are the Light Machine Gun RAAL LMG and the submachine gun CX-9. Both weapons can be unlocked and used in the cooperative survival mode of Modern Warfare. You can even level them up and unlock attachments here.

However, that does not apply to Warzone. In Battle Royale, the weapons have never officially appeared, even though they have been usable in the survival mode since December 2020.

How can I still use them? You can currently find the powerful firearms as ground loot in Battle Royale. There have been reports some time ago that at least the RAAL LMG could be found in Warzone as ground loot, but since the start of Season 2, players are seeing the weapons more often.

Therefore, a bit of luck is required to get your hands on the two latecomers from CoD MW. Both weapons can be found as orange, legendary blueprints, bringing some attachments with them.

Both weapons belong directly to the top tier

Are they really that strong? Now that so many players assume that the weapons will be completely added to Warzone, the Warzone weapons expert “Truegamedata” has been looking into the values of the firearms. Both weapons come with an pleasantly vertical recoil, and their Time-to-Kill (TTK) is impressive:

The LMG has an “Open-Bolt-Delay”, meaning it fires 50 milliseconds after you pull the trigger. Nevertheless, this stable piece of equipment is on par with one of the strongest all-round weapons in the game, the CR-56 AMAX. The RAAL combines heavy damage with high stability – the basic recipe for meta weapons in Warzone. While the LMG is slow and may not offer the crucial mobility in Warzone, fans of weapons with high stability, range, and damage could find the RAAL to be a real powerhouse.

The CX-9 is very similar regarding SMGs. In the TTK comparison, the SMG lands just behind the MP5 from Modern Warfare. If you add the “Open-Bolt-Delay” of the MAC-10 of 50 milliseconds to the TTK of the popular MP, the CX-9 is even stronger with chest hits than the currently most used MP. Additionally, the CX-9 comes with a higher range and is very stable. This weapon would also be directly in our list of the best weapons in Warzone.

You can find a more in-depth analysis on the channel of the CoD YouTuber “Truegamedata”. We have embedded the English video here for you:

Weapon release remains unclear

Will the weapons come for loadouts in Warzone? You can’t really say for sure right now. While there are indications of a Season 7 in Modern Warfare and a release in this context is possible, the weapons might only come for CoD MW, if at all. Currently, it is rather unlikely that the guns will come to Warzone. The impressive stats, combined with their outstanding stability, would likely be too strong for the Battle Royale.

However, now that blueprints of the guns are regularly found as ground loot in Warzone, the release rumor persists, and “Truegamedata” would also be happy to cruise through Verdansk with the powerful weapons.

You mentioned there are 3 weapons. Which one is the third? The third weapon in the bunch is the Sykov. This is a pistol that is also known from the survival mode and sometimes available as ground loot in Warzone. The release of this firearm is still uncertain – however, the Sykov would also be far too strong for Warzone.

Buying a PS5 has become a hunt – For the thrill and for quick money

Noah Struthoff 2. March 2021 Reading time 5 minutes

Buying a PS5 has now become a hunt, where it is no longer just about gaming. No console from Sony has been as sought after as the PlayStation 5. A real community is forming: Some just want to finally get their console, while others want to make even more money with the PS5.

This is the situation with the PS5: On November 19, 2020, the PS5 was officially released in Germany. However, it was hardly possible to quickly buy the console at the nearest electronics store. The Corona crisis brought about two things:

The demand for the PS5 increased because more people than ever are playing and want a new console. Due to the lockdown, many people spent their newly available time on gaming.
But Sony could not increase the supply of the PS5 to the necessary extent, as materials for semiconductors are lacking: These are currently in demand worldwide.

Due to the high demand and low supply, fans of the console are practically on the hunt for new drops. Buyers on standby are refreshing provider pages and actively exchanging information in communities.

The hunt for the PS5 has been ongoing for over 3 months, and there is currently no end in sight. On the contrary: The desire to finally buy a PS5 has become a real thrill for some people.

Between excitement and crashed websites

This is what we observe: We have been maintaining an article for weeks on MeinMMO regarding the purchase of the PS5. The ticker is constantly being updated: We check for you all the links and pages that might sell the coveted console.

In the comments, we are experiencing a response like we have rarely seen before. However, there is also much frustration, as some users still cannot get a PS5 even after their 10th try.

We have developed a real community among ourselves, as well as in numerous reddit threads, all sharing a common goal: Finally buying a damn PS5.

We are including here some comments from our users:

Maximilian writes: ‘I would like to sincerely thank the MeinMMO team again! Thanks to you, I was able to order a PS5 (Disc) from Euronics on 17.02.21, which was finally delivered this past Saturday. Without you, I would have never managed that! So, 1000 thanks for your great work and all the updates! Keep it up! I wish everyone else much success and, above all, patience.’
Artur says: ‘I finally managed to order a PS5. Thanks to the MeinMMO team. I succeeded in ordering one at Media Markt on Tuesday. I felt like I updated the shopping cart for an hour and was occasionally one step further, but I got kicked back to the shopping cart about 15 times. In the end, I did manage it.’
Ralf is frustrated and says: ‘Tell me, is it possible that the CEO of Sony is just messing with us? He said there should be enough available in stores, but that’s a joke. Nothing at all. No matter which online retailers and no matter what time. Nothing to buy for months. One wonders: What are they doing all the time?’

More on the topic

Man buys 25 PS5s, sells them at a high price: “I am just trying to help others”

von Tarek Zehrer

Some just want to finally have a PS5

This is how things are developing now: The global demand for the PS5 is immense. Not only in Germany are there sporadic drops that are stormed by hundreds or thousands of users. The rush is sometimes so great that websites crash. Within a few minutes, the stock of the respective retailer is exhausted again.

It is a struggle to get your PS5. The Polygon website quotes the reddit user MafaMoon. He said after he managed to buy a PS5: ‘It will only be here in a few weeks, but the fact that I know my struggle is over is liberating.’

Another user quoted by Polygon says: ‘When I got my first PS5, I felt euphoric all day.’

A third, successful PS5 buyer says: Finally being successful in the hunt for the PS5 feels like defeating a tough boss in Dark Souls.

Sony itself has also commented on the extreme demand. The CEO of the company explained that the interest in the PS5 was greater than expected. They had already sold over 4.5 million consoles in the first months – more than at the PS4 launch. But the Corona crisis is also to blame. Some components, such as semiconductors, cannot be delivered easily.

Some just want to make money with the PS5

This is the downside: One of the reasons why the PS5 is sold out quickly at retailers is scalpers – meaning resellers. They buy a PS5 faster than the average user with bots and then resell it at a higher price on platforms like eBay. This was especially a problem in the first few months. There are certainly some private sellers involved who smell quick money and have luck with their orders.

Currently, PS5s are being sold on eBay for over 700 euros. That’s at least 200 euros more than the actual price of the console with a disc.

Polygon quotes a scalper who says: Many buy a PS5 in the range of $800. Some users even thanked him for not raising the price of his PS5 consoles even more. He has no illusions about how he is perceived:

‘Yes, I see myself as a scalper. And I am fine if people don’t like it. I’m not doing it to make friends. I’m doing it to make money.’
A scalper to Polygon

The incredible demand and the currently low supply also attract people who want to make quick money. To the detriment of the fans who finally want to play on the PS5. eBay has therefore restricted the sale of PS5s, effectively driving away scalpers, but consoles can still be bought there.

How is it going with the Xbox? Also released in November 2020, Microsoft launched their new consoles: The Xbox Series X and S. There was similar hype at the beginning. The consoles were quickly sold out.

Currently, the market for the new Xbox has calmed down a bit. The Series X is still sold out in many places, but a new drop usually remains online longer than with a PS5. The Xbox Series S, on the other hand, is still available at some retailers and can be purchased normally and without much stress.

What’s next? This is currently uncertain. The demand to buy a PS5 is still high and will certainly not be satisfied in the coming weeks. So, you will have to expect a struggle in the coming weeks.

Eventually, however, Sony will probably produce enough consoles for all fans. When that will happen is still uncertain.

Until then, we recommend our ticker for the PS5. There we will inform you quickly when a new offer regarding the PS5 becomes available:

WoW Classic: Because Blizzard does not deliver, players fulfill their great wish themselves

Cortyn 2. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

More than 4,800 players of WoW Classic are starting “fresh” on a realm. Will you be there to experience the “launch feeling” once again?

Starting fresh in World of Warcraft Classic, on a realm with like-minded players – a dream that many gamers have. But at BlizzCon, the developers stated that there will likely be no “Fresh Start” realms for the launch of Burning Crusade Classic. Those looking for a complete fresh start into Classic will be disappointed.

However, the WoW community knows how to find a solution: More than (so far) 4,800 players simply want to take over one of the “dead” realms and create their own “fresh” experience. They call it “The Fresh Crusade”. The number of players wishing to participate is steadily increasing.

What is a “Fresh Start” realm? The community refers to a new server where players have achieved nothing yet. There are no characters at level 60, no one has a huge inventory full of gold, and bots have not yet taken over the economy. A “Fresh Start” would be exactly that – a new beginning, an opportunity to start anew with like-minded individuals who all begin from scratch.

Why do players want this? For some players, it’s not just the endgame in WoW Classic that is interesting, but especially the excitement at the beginning of the game. Starting together on a realm, leveling in groups, or playing dungeons at low levels is appealing to many.

On the current Classic realms, however, this is hardly possible. Most players are already level 60, and leveling in the traditional way is hardly done. Those wanting to power-level a second character often rely on a friendly mage and get “boosted” through dungeons to reach level 60 almost effortlessly.

Moreover, bots and thus gold inflation are massive problems on many realms. Those who want to farm resources or earn gold compete with a multitude of bots that Blizzard finds difficult to control. This leads to many players possessing several tens of thousands of gold, and items in the auction house cost astronomically high prices that newcomers can hardly afford.

How can you participate? If you are interested in joining the “The Fresh Crusade” project, simply visit the Discord server of the project. There, you will also find information about the chosen realm at the end, as this will be revealed only at the last moment to prevent anyone from starting too early. It is already known that it will be a EU realm.

However, the players want to start on a PvP realm. If you’re not into PvP in the open world, this project is probably not for you.

When does it start? It is supposed to start this Friday (March 5, 2021) at 7:00 PM. Then, the over 4,800 players want to start together on one of the rather “dead” realms, thus revitalizing it and ensuring a nice leveling experience with a healthy community.

What do you think of the idea? A cool thing? Or is the project doomed to fail because it is not “really” a fresh start?

Twitch streamer quits GTA 5 RP because played job becomes real: „It is brutal“

Schuhmann 2. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The Twitch streamer Chance “Sodapoppin” Morris has become so immersed in the roleplay at GTA 5 Online that the job he performs in the game has become overwhelming. The 27-year-old is now quitting the game. He feels like he really has to work there.

Why does Sodapoppin feel so much stress in GTA 5? Sodapoppin plays GTA Online on the extremely popular “No Pixel 3.0” server, where roleplay is taken seriously. If someone doesn’t put in the effort and just flirts with women cheaply, they get kicked off the server.

The streamers play a fixed character and live their life when they are online on Twitch. While in normal GTA 5 criminals engage in wild chases with police and deal drugs, on the roleplay server, you can also play someone who goes to work every day and grills burgers.

Sodapoppin’s character is named Kevin Whipaloo, a businessman who runs a restaurant and keeps getting accidentally tangled in crimes. But the problem is: Sodapoppin took the businessman role so seriously that he felt like a real manager with employees, customers, and issues. In a live stream, he now says:

“GTA RP, in the position of Kevin, is a real job. It was actually work. It was brutal. It was: manage this, manage that, damn employees want something, I have a problem with the cops.”

Sodapoppin has to serve customers who want burgers:

Sodapoppin is overwhelmed by everything in GTA 5

Sodapoppin says he no longer has any fun in the game. Usually, he likes to do really stupid things, just escape and hop on a bike and ride off. But that is no longer possible because he has “damn employees” and “damn customers.”

It all overwhelmed him. He says:

“The fault lies mainly with me. I maneuvered myself into a situation with serious commitments. It brought me to a point where I no longer enjoyed it. I overestimated myself, I don’t like it anymore. It’s too much.”

The 27-year-old Chance “Sodapoppin” Morris is one of the most popular and successful streamers on Twitch. He has been doing this for 10 years, starting with WoW, but has long been a variety streamer. Some of his adventures have been covered on MeinMMO:
– Tens of thousands laugh at the ban of a Twitch star who got lost in the sex dungeon
– A stupid mistake in the auction house cost the streamer all his gold in WoW Classic
– Twitch streamer sleeps while playing WoW Classic – Should have done better

What happens now with the character: Originally, Sodapoppin had planned for someone to dramatically kill Kevin Whipaloo. But that did not happen.

The server operators even offered to get rid of people who were harassing him because he is such a big streamer – but he didn’t want that either.

The Twitch streamer also considered coming up with a complicated in-game explanation for his absence, but he discarded that idea as well.

Sodapoppin is now simply quitting the role-play and taking an indefinite break.

Always these customers complaining about the burgers:

When games feel “accidentally” like real jobs

This is what’s behind it: It’s amusing that a Twitch streamer accidentally slips into a “real job” like many of his viewers have, and it becomes too much for him.

People with “normal jobs” have to deal with being in a situation with many obligations that isn’t always fun for them. But Sodapoppin can quit and go back to doing “stupid stuff.” Not everyone has that option.

Sodapoppin had too few scenes of “stupid roleplay” in his job:

What Sodapoppin experiences in GTA 5 is a phenomenon in many MMOs, even without roleplay: When you engage in a multiplayer game, you make social commitments. Anyone who has raided in games like WoW or even taken on a guild leadership knows this. You quickly end up with a lot of obligations, have to stick to fixed dates, have tasks to complete, and expectations to meet.

That indeed feels like a second job.

Valheim: Vikings turn the sea into a giant trampoline

Andreas Bertits 2. March 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

Players of the survival hit Valheim are trying all sorts of curious things in the game. Among them is a flight with a ship over the sea, which went quite bizarre.

What was this experiment? The Valheim player HotGuuuuu built a gigantic ramp on the side of a mountain. At the top, he sat in a ship. This was supposed to launch him spectacularly into the water. However, the journey ended a little differently.

As the player released the restraints, the ship rushed down the ramp into the depths and ultimately took off at the end. The ship hit the water in such a way that it was catapulted like a trampoline, sending it back into the air.

The ship hit the water again and bounced up very high once more. Eventually, the journey ended in a tree.

What happened to the player? Nothing. He remained completely unharmed. The ship also seems to have taken no damage, neither from hitting the water nor from landing in the tree. This is partly because the player keeps repairing the boat during the flight.

In the video, you can see exactly how the flight took place:

https://youtu.be/zDMijNABfiM

How could this happen? The physics system of the successful survival game Valheim created a curious situation here. It is unclear why the ship bounces off the water. Was it the angle at which it hit? Or did it possibly hit an object beneath the water surface?

It seems a bit like throwing a stone over a lake, which then gets repelled by the smooth surface of the water and flits across the water.

What do players think of the video? The Valheim community is discussing on reddit what might have happened here.

RBC_Ante suspects that it has something to do with the shipping system (via reddit): ‘I suspect it is because the water physics are programmed so that the boat bounces back to its original position, as if it is bobbing up and down on the water. That’s why it also jumps to this incredible height when it falls so deep again.’
LuxuryBeast finds the video very funny (via reddit): ‘And 1,000 years later, archaeologists find the longship and wonder how it got there.’
WTFSpeeder16 is also thrilled (via reddit): “It makes me laugh so much that the game is programmed to have the boat bounce on the water.”

It’s amazing what players in Valheim do that has nothing to do with the game itself. That is surely one of the reasons why the survival game has become such a hit on Steam.

What do you think about this video? Have you ever tried something like this in Valheim?

What did Blizzard say about the alphas? Lead Producer Chris Lena explained in an interview with PCGamesN that players will participate in two alpha phases. The first one will focus on the single-player part of the hack and slash Diablo 2 Resurrected. The second will be a multiplayer stress test.

Blizzard hopes for a lot of feedback on Diablo 2 Resurrected

When do the alphas start? There is currently no date. It is only said that they will take place before the release of the action RPG, which is planned for 2021.

What is the purpose of these test phases? Players should help shape the future of Diablo 2 Resurrected, which was announced at BlizzCon 2021. For example, the team hopes for a lot of feedback on balancing, which can be adjusted based on the testers’ opinions.

It is important to make the game exciting and interesting through feedback, especially for modern player communities.

How to register for the alphas: Even though there is no date yet, it is already possible to register for the test phases. You can do this via the official website of Diablo 2 Resurrected. There you click on the button “Sign up for the technical alpha” and then log in with your Battle.net account.

With a little luck, you will be selected for the tests as soon as they start, Blizzard will notify you then.

In the 6-minute gameplay video of Diablo 2: Resurrected, you can already get an impression of how the new old game looks.

What can you expect with Diablo 2 Resurrected? The hack and slash is a remaster of the classic from 2000. Blizzard basically just wants to modernize the graphics, for which a nice 3D engine will be used.

The gameplay of Diablo 2 is intended to remain intact. You will experience the action RPG basically the same way you remember it from before, just with better graphics. The levels will be exactly rebuilt as they appear in the original. We will find out how it plays in the alphas. There will also be a few quality of life improvements that can make gameplay easier for you, including a shared loot stash.

Everything you need to know about the release of Diablo 2: Resurrected. These quality of life improvements are optional for you as a player. If you want, you can also activate the old experience of the game at the push of a button and immerse yourself fully in the nostalgia.

With the next patch, Hearthstone will receive a ‘Turbo Mode’

Cortyn 2. March 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

Does Hearthstone take too long for you? A new card could soon bring the Turbo mode – if both players want to.

Amid the flood of bigger announcements during BlizzCon, Hearthstone revealed some pretty cool details about its future. In addition to the Mercenary game mode and the new expansion “Forged in the Barrens”, the remnants of the core set were also presented. Among these are some real bang cards that promise plenty of variety and cool moments.

The core set will soon replace the Standard and Classic sets, bringing fresh air into Hearthstone. This also means that some brand new cards are being created, and old classics have been revamped. We would like to briefly introduce some of these highlights to you.

Nozdormu the Eternal has the potential to give Hearthstone a whole new “Turbo mode”. He is basically an evolution of the old Nozdormu, who reduced turn length to 15 seconds while he was in play. However, Nozdormu the Eternal works differently. Essentially, he is a solid minion with stats of 8/8 for only 7 mana, making him a good choice.

However, his effect is interesting. If both players’ decks contain Nozdormu at the start of the game, then all turns in this match will last 15 seconds.

You read that right – this is then a permanent effect, which will not change even with the death of Nozdormu. Anyone who wants to play “Speed-Hearthstone” should integrate Nozdormu the Eternal into their deck and hope that the opponent has done the same. This promises stressful but also extremely interesting rounds.

Mages can look forward to the legendary minion Aegwynn the Guardian. For stats of 5/5, this fine lady costs 5 mana and brings spell damage +2 as well as the deathrattle effect: The next minion you draw inherits these effects.

This means that you will have the “spell damage +2” effect and the transfer permanently in play until a corresponding minion is silenced.

This card ensures that Mages can basically always build a spell damage deck, even if they do not have many cards from the latest expansion.

The dragon lady Alexstrasza also gets a redesign with “Alexstrasza the Lifebinder”. For 9 mana, she still brings stats of 8/8 to the battlefield, but her battlecry has changed. Instead of setting a hero’s health to 15, she can now either deal 8 damage to an enemy or heal 8 health points to an allied character.

This makes the new Alexstrasza a pinch healing and a cool finisher at the same time. From turn 9 onward, everyone will have to expect to be burned by Alexstrasza.

Malygos also receives an overhaul and becomes “Malygos the Spellweaver”, which is quite interesting for all spell decks. Instead of, like his old version, increasing spell damage by 5, he has a different effect. The player draws as many spells until their hand is full.

However, this should be used with caution, as with a cost of 9 mana for the 4/12 dragon, there is little room left to play something else. This increases the risk of having too many cards in hand next turn and having to burn some.

This can also be worth it for decks that have very few spells and want to guarantee them in hand. Malygos the Spellweaver allows for many new combinations and will likely play a role in many decks in the future.

The black dragon aspect Deathwing also receives a small rework. Deathwing the Destroyer still costs 10 mana and has stats of a massive 12/12. Instead of annihilating all minions and discarding the player’s hand, the effect is a bit more targeted.

While all other minions are still destroyed, the player only has to discard one card for each minion killed. This gives Deathwing a tactical component and makes him playable even when you don’t have to destroy any more minions.

The core set is free: The best thing about the core set is that it is completely free and available immediately for all players. Only those who have not leveled their heroes to level 10 yet need to catch up in order to unlock all cards of the core set.

The innovations with the core set should ensure that Hearthstone feels fresh every year and that existing meta decks need to be significantly restructured. In the future, it will no longer be enough to only swap out a handful of cards each year – because with a rotating core set, that is simply not possible. That’s why the basic set is being thrown out.

What do you think of the new cards and the core set? A cool thing or does it bother you?

Fortnite: English Patch Notes for Update 15.50 – What’s Inside

Eilyn Rapp 2. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

Today, on Tuesday, March 2nd, the Fortnite servers went down across all platforms (PC/Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Android). During this time, the new update 15.50 was applied. In the patch notes, we now show you what has changed in the game.

What is happening today in Fortnite? Today, the update 15.50 is being applied in Fortnite. This was announced on Twitter by Fortnite Status. The patch is supposed to bring some changes.

Update 11:50 AM: The update 15.50 has now been applied. There were no major changes, but we have collected the most important new features for you and will summarize them here.

Patch Notes for Update 15.50

What is different now? Update 15.50 brought a few changes to the game that may not be immediately obvious. Here is what to expect after the download:

The “Rapid Fire” SMG has been unvaulted
Jelly and Rift fish are back in the game
The Egg Grenade Launcher has been added – in rarities: rare, epic, and legendary
LTMs: “One Shot (Duo)”, “Points Royale” and “Team Rumble: From the Vault” are back
The Zero Point has changed – will it explode soon?

Players have noticed after the update that the Zero Point has visually changed. It now seems to absorb the aura around it. Could this be a preparation for the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6?

Here is how the Zero Point looks right now:

Here you can continue with the original server down article.

Fortnite Servers Going Down – When and How Long?

Downtime Starts in the Morning: The downtime for update 15.50 starts today at 10:00 AM German time. At 9:30 AM, you can join a new match for the last time, after which the servers will go down and Fortnite will be temporarily unavailable.

How long will the maintenance take? Based on experiences from recent weeks and months, the work should be completed by around noon at the latest.

Technical problems or other delays could lead to an extension of the maintenance work. If this happens, you will find out right here on MeinMMO.

When will the patch notes come? Based on the experience of the last updates in the new chapter of Fortnite, it is likely that there will again be no or only superficial patch notes for the battle royale mode.

However, should major changes be applied, we will collect these for you and create a form of English patch notes. We will then publish them here on MeinMMO for you.

What new content does update 15.50 bring?

What new items will there be in battle royale mode? Fortnite Status has also presented a couple of new features in the announcement of the update on Twitter. These two things are sure to expect after the downtime:

New weapons being unvaulted (Update 15.40 brought back the Flintknock)
New island size in creative mode

The update 15.50 doesn’t seem to bring many changes – at least they weren’t announced. You will probably soon be able to experience the return of a few old weapons.

In a few hours, we will see what else is in the patch. Perhaps further hints about the crossover with Family Guy that players are still waiting for?

ESO: 4 Things You Absolutely Should Do Before the New Update 29 Is Released

Alexander Leitsch 2. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

On Monday, March 8, the new update “Flames of Ambition” for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) will be released on PC. This comes with major changes to the game. Therefore, we have compiled 4 things you should do to prepare for the patch.

What is special about Update 29? With the upcoming update ESO will completely revise the Champion System. In the future, you will only be able to select a certain number of effects and the trees will branch out more intensively.

This also means that your distribution of points will be reset and some builds will play differently in the future. To ensure you are not completely surprised and can prepare perfectly, we have gathered some tips for you.

1. Note down your current builds

With Update 29, not only your Champion points but also the distribution of your attribute points (Magicka, Health, Stamina) and your skill points (weapons and passive abilities) will be reset.

You will start completely from scratch with all your characters, except of course for the levels earned in skills and guilds.

To ensure that you can get back into the game as quickly as possible and don’t spend forever restoring your builds, you should at least note down your current distribution in bullet points. Especially if you play multiple characters actively.

Also note: Some users currently possibly have more skill points than they should due to bugs. So don’t be surprised after the update if the number turns out differently than before.

2. Experiment with new builds before the release

Update 29 will not only revise the Champion points but also make some changes to existing skills. Especially with passive skills related to armor, there will be some innovations and even some negative effects.

So don’t be surprised after the patch if your build might not be “up to date” anymore.

If you want to familiarize yourself with the new skills now, you can do this on the PTS test server. There you can create a pre-made character (there is a drop-down menu at the top right when creating the character), which is already at the maximum level.

Additionally, there is already a Calculator from ESO-Hub. There you can already experiment with the new Champion points and create a new build that you can play right at the start of the update.

3. Collect new gear in your collection

Our tip number 3 is in line with the experimentation of builds. With the DLC Markarth, collections were introduced to the game. Here you will find already unlocked sets that you have either analyzed, destroyed, or sold to the merchant.

However, if your build changes in the future, you can easily reconstruct the old set and switch to a Magicka build instead of Stamina and wear the appropriate gear directly.

To restore a collected set, you need to visit a transmutation table and use the new menu “Sets” there. Here you will find the previous items. However, a reconstruction costs transmutation crystals.

4. Collect your XP Scrolls and Potions

With the revision of the Champion points, the required experience should also be adjusted, so that newcomers can catch up better to the veterans.

This ultimately means that everything will likely go faster. So if you are considering reaching the Champion point cap before the patch, you might as well wait until after the update. Then it should go faster.

Theoretically, you could even make money right now by crafting and selling Ambrosia experience potions. The prices have been rising significantly lately.

MeinMMO editor Larissa Then presented you with a way to level up quickly after the release of the update in this article: I always thought grinding was stupid – But in ESO leveling is actually fun.

Do you have any further tips for preparing for the patch? Are you looking forward to the adjustments? Let us know in the comments.

With Flames of Ambition, the first major update of 2021 is released. It also heralds the story of the entire year and thus of the upcoming expansion Blackwood. More about this here:

CoD Warzone: All bunker locations on the map and how to open them

Benedict Grothaus 1. March 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone there are several bunkers on the map Verdansk, which have been scattered across the map since the beginning and have puzzled players. MeinMMO reveals all locations of the bunkers and how you can open them.

Update from February 15, 2022: If you are looking for the bunkers that appeared with Warzone Pacific Season 2 on Caldera, you can find the info here:

More on the topic

CoD Warzone: All 7 Bunker Locations on Caldera – Here you’ll find the finest loot

von Marko Jevtic

Update from March 1, 2021: With the new Season 2 of Warzone and Cold War, most of the bunkers have been closed. We will tell you which ones you can still enter and where you can find loot.

Update from August 5, 2020: At the start of Season 5 in Call of Duty MW and Warzone, the red access cards for the bunkers are back.

Update from August 26, 2020: More bunkers are accessible. We have updated how you can enter them.

What are bunkers? The bunkers have been a mystery in Warzone for quite some time and players have been puzzling over them for weeks. Meanwhile, we know: They are storage rooms full of loot.

MeinMMO explains in a short and handy guide where you can find the bunkers and which ones you can enter to stock up on loot or get enough cash to buy important items for the round.

Where are the bunkers in Warzone? Locations

Here you will find the bunkers: The bunkers are conveniently numbered, starting from 00. The locations are:

Bunker 00: at the southwestern shore, south of Zozsni Spomenik
Bunker 01: at the western edge, between Kart Racing Track and Junkyard
Bunker 02: in the west, north of Junkyard
Bunker 03: through a trapdoor right next to Bunker 02
Bunker 04: in the mountains in the northwest, east of Gora Dam
Bunker 05: centrally located in the north, right at Crash Site
Bunker 06: at the eastern edge of the map, above the tunnel between Lumber Yard and River Quarry
Bunker 07: through a trapdoor northeast of Stadium
Bunker 08: right next to Bunker 07
Bunker 09: all the way in the southeast of the map, slightly northeast of Prison
Bunker 10: centrally located in the south of the map, east of Styor Spomenik
Bunker 11: relatively central in the north, northwest of Military Base

All bunkers on the map: For illustration, here you can find all bunker locations on the map again:

CoD Warzone Bunker Map all bunkers with numbers — The Warzone map with the locations of all bunkers.

Which bunkers are still open in Season 2?

As of now, all bunkers in Verdansk are closed and inaccessible except for Bunker 10. Additionally, there are now missile silos that are filled with loot similar to the bunkers.

The code for Bunker 10 (just below Park) is 60 27 45 13, although it is not entirely clear if the code is still needed.

The silos are simply open and you can enter them; just remember your parachute so you don’t die from the fall.

In addition to the silos and the bunkers, the secret loot rooms in Stadium are now open and accessible without a keycard. While these are not specifically bunkers, you can at least quickly grab strong loot here if you survive the trip.

Since it is unclear whether the bunkers can be reopened in the future or if players might find tricks to enter them, we are archiving all locations and access types for you in this article.

Open bunkers with keycodes (inactive)

How do I open bunkers with keycodes? For some time now, there has been a scavenger hunt for Easter eggs for the upcoming CoD Cold War, where you can open new bunkers in Warzone.

You do not need a special item for this, just a combination of numbers. A total of three bunkers and three additional doors have a keycode.

Which bunkers can be opened? You can open the following bunkers with the associated number combinations:

Bunker 01: 97264138
Bunker 02: 87624851
Bunker 10: 60274513
Cabin east of TV Station: 274953810
Room in Farmlands: 49285163
Cabin southwest of Prison: 72948531

A map with locations and their corresponding codes has been created by the reddit user HUX3L:

Open bunkers with the keycard (inactive)

How do I open a bunker with the keycard? Before you trek to one of the “old” bunkers, you should make sure that you can enter it. You cannot open all bunkers, and for those you can enter, you need a red access card, which was introduced before the bunker update.

You can find the keycards with a bit of luck in a loot crate. Take them with you and then head to one of the keycard bunkers. There, you can simply open the door with the keycard.

You do not need a special card for the different bunkers – one keycard can open some bunkers, similar to the loot vaults in Apex Legends.

Which bunkers can be opened? With the red keycard, you can open the following bunkers:

Bunker 00 in the south
Bunker 04 at the dam
Bunker 05 south of the Military Base
Bunker 06 in the northeast
Bunker 09 at the prison

A big exception is Bunker 11. This can be opened, but not with keycards. Here you must solve a puzzle to enter the bunker.

Bunker 11 is also now closed, and some players suspect that all of this is part of the Warzone story. With the new zombie outbreak and the opened weapon silos, they believe that Verdansk might soon be destroyed by a nuclear strike – and maybe very soon: Everything points to a huge explosion in April.

Streamer says the N-word – But some of the biggest on Twitch defend him

Schuhmann 1. March 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

The Twitch streamer Mason “Symfuhny” Lanier said a racist word during a stream of Call of Duty: Warzone for which one would usually get banned from Twitch. But streamers like xQc and Myth defend him. Symfuhny himself says: He couldn’t have said the word because it’s not in his vocabulary.

This is Symfuhny: The 21-year-old Mason Lanier is one of the big winners on Twitch in recent years. Although he has been on the streaming platform since 2012 and became a professional in H1Z1 in 2016, he only really became famous in the last few years:

In 2019, the American made a name for himself in Fortnite
In 2020, he switched to “Call of Duty: Warzone” and fully embraced the hype
Currently, Symfuhny has 3 million followers. This earns him the 38th spot on Twitch
When he streams, an average of 14,120 people watch him

This is what he did: In a clip from CoD Warzone, you can clearly hear him using the racist N-word while talking to his friend Myth. However, it isn’t emotionally charged at all. He rambles, jumps from thought to thought, and somehow uses the word as an address for Ali “Myth” Kabbani, one of the biggest streamers on Twitch.

Link to the Twitch content

While Symfuhny didn’t seem to register it at all, many users immediately wrote in the chat: “N Bomb” – “What the fuck” or simply “????”

Clip receives 300,000 views, sparks discussion

These are the consequences: The clip in which Symfuhny says the word has now over 300,000 views. The clip was shared and discussed on Livestream Fails, a large subreddit (via reddit).

Because usually, the N-word results in an immediate Twitch ban:

MontanaBlack was banned in 2019 for saying it in the background of a friend’s stream when he was very upset about FIFA.
A young Fortnite player was suspended from his team for the word and sentenced to a corrective measure.
Many Twitch streamers have already been banned for using the word. Everyone knows: You must never say that word.

However, nothing happened to Symfuhny.

On reddit, they compare the case to that of Pokimane. She is considered a favorite of Twitch and seems untouchable. Old clips are circulating in which she has also used the N-word.

“I don’t have that word in my vocabulary”

This is what he says: Symfuhny says many people believe he said it. But he did not. He does not have that word in his vocabulary. One could ask anyone.

He speaks quickly, stutters, something came out that sounded like he said it, but he didn’t. Symfuhny says: He also doesn’t know what else he can bring up in his defense. He didn’t say it, and he will never say it.

However, Symfuhny does not explain which word he actually meant to say. In comparable cases, streamers have assured that they were misunderstood due to their unclear speech and actually wanted to say something else:

A LoL streamer said he actually said “Anivia” and Twitch misunderstood it
A WoW streamer was banned for “Fuck it” as Twitch apparently understood it as “Faggot,” another word for which you get banned
The Swede Forsen complained that he was banned once only because of his bad accent

A fan defending Symfuhny says: The streamer might have mixed up the words “Myth” and “I think uh” in his head so that something like “Myguhh” came out.

“That was just a bug”

This is what other streamers say: Myth, to whom the word was directed, says:

“Even though we heard it, he did not say it.”

That it was a bug, claims Myth. Symfuhny cannot speak properly and mumbled something.

Myth promises his fans: They can be sure that if Symfuhny ever slips the word, Myth will be the first to talk to him about it and have a serious discussion with him.

Colleague xQc says: He can relate to that. He experiences the same thing, where he has an idea in his head of what he wants to say, then another idea flares up and a word comes out that was somehow misdirected.

The political commentator HasanAbi says: “Based on my [limited] experiences with Symfuhny, he is a very nice guy. He does not seem to me like someone who would just drop the N-word.”

Another Twitch celebrity, Sodapoppin, says: “I really don’t believe he is racist. I have to say it like that.”

Many other big streamers vouch for Symfuhny’s good character. Jack “CouRage” Dunlop supports him: He lived with Symfuhny for a year and says that he doesn’t have that word in his vocabulary. He wouldn’t harm a fly.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Twitter content

Are there also people who criticize his behavior? Yes, there are. Many do not believe Symfuhny’s explanation.

While it’s acknowledged that Symfuhny said it ending with an “a” and not with a “hard R” (which is the clearly worse variant), many have no doubt that he said it and that he should admit it.

A user on Twitter writes: “Don’t piss in my pocket and tell me it’s raining.” Symfuhny clearly said it.

A Twitter user says: “That’s the worst excuse I’ve ever heard. A boy with blond hair, blue eyes, and pale skin clearly says the N-word – in exactly the context that he intended to say it, and the excuse is: He mixed up words?”

This is the background: It seems that Twitch actually considers the context of the ban and does not view the matter in isolation. The word was apparently not meant to be hateful and intended to hurt no one.

In instances of hateful uses that resulted in bans, the respective word was almost always used in an emotionally charged context: as an insult or curse.

The difficulty is that Twitch has banned players in comparable cases even if the respective word was not used as a slur – for example, the CS:GO star s1mple, who was banned multiple times for a word he used as harmless teasing towards a friend, which Twitch deemed “hateful.”

Once again, it seems that Twitch’s “ban” or “non-ban” policy resembles a coin toss. Sometimes they are right, sometimes wrong.

It is noticeable that Twitch generally behaves more leniently with top streamers in the top 50 or 100, while the ban hammer hits smaller streamers hard:

Twitch’s ban policy is becoming increasingly ridiculous

This is what a base in Valheim looks like after 200 hours solo

Benedict Grothaus 1. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

Valheim offers the opportunity to fully express creativity and build your own home. One player has apparently set a large goal for himself and has fully utilized the possibilities for building a base. He worked for 200 hours on his castle – with a beautiful result.

This is the base: The reddit user and YouTuber FallenQsnow has presented his construction project to the Valheim community (via reddit). According to him, he invested about 200 hours into it, completely alone and without the help of admin commands.

The result is almost a small village with a city wall, guard towers, a proper moat, and various buildings. FallenQsnow has two large warehouses, a crafting area, a kitchen, and a trophy room in his fully stone-paved city.

At the heart of it all, on a hill, sits his palace with a huge throne room, a small living area, and a portal room, from which he can probably travel anywhere in the vast world of Valheim. He even made a little video of the whole project:

As he himself says, he is not even close to being finished after these 200 hours: The castle will likely be expanded.

The low frame rate of the video is due to the number of building parts he has used there. FallenQsnow himself says on reddit that he usually has around 80 FPS while playing. However, in his base, he only gets about 10-20 FPS.

The title image is from FallenQsnow on reddit.

The best food in Valheim and how to prepare it

von Benedict Grothaus

Dozens of hours for grind and building

What took so long? For the base, FallenQsnow needed immense amounts of wood, stone, and metals, as well as rarer materials like dragon tears, Surtling cores, and chains. He also had to defeat all the bosses – alone.

If you’re having trouble, you’ll find tips in our guide on how to summon and defeat all bosses in Valheim.

He gathered all the raw materials alone, without the help of friends or admin commands. Every stone and piece of wood were manually gathered, as he says. Just for the wood stacks at the entrance of the base, he needed 300 units of wood – and those are only for decoration.

Through the work and gathering of raw materials, he was able to bring some of his skills to level 100, like mining. It was also essential to increase combat skills like archery so he could actually kill the bosses.

The bosses are important to obtain new materials, such as more ores or access to the workbench. He had to carefully make sure not to die, otherwise, he would lose 5% of his skills. He died only three times – twice while building.

Can I do that too? FallenQsnow apparently has a lot of experience with the building system in survival games. On his YouTube channel, there are dozens of videos from Minecraft showcasing his skills. Some of them are more than two years old.

He can therefore draw on a lot of expertise in building in such games. Don’t expect that you can achieve this as a newbie after 200 hours too – but with some practice, you can create your very own creations. Our guides will help you:

Valheim and Minecraft are not the only games that enable such massive projects. Base building and housing are important themes in many games, especially in survival games. Here on MeinMMO, we have presented 7 MMOs with base building where you can really get lost.

Outriders: The Technomancer is the all-rounder class, but how do you play it?

Tarek Zehrer 1. March 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

In the loot shooter Outriders, you can choose from up to 4 classes. One of them is the Technomancer. But what can he actually do? MeinMMO introduces you to the all-rounder.

Since February 25th, players can try out the demo of Outriders. It features the four different classes playable, including some skills. These include:

The Assassin (Trickster)
The Pyromancer (Pyromancer)
The Devastator (Devastator)
The Technomancer (Technomancer).

The latter may pass as an all-rounder. He stands out because he primarily uses gadgets and relies less on the crazy abilities that the other classes have. The Technomancer is considered an all-rounder by many. MeinMMO will show you why.

The Technomancer can do almost anything

What exactly makes him an all-rounder? The Technomancer has a balanced selection of skills, base bonuses for weapons, and self-healing, along with a powerful healing ability. This combination makes him mighty as a supporter and damage dealer. Played correctly, he can also withstand quite a bit.

These are the base attributes of the Technomancer:

Melee attack: Enemies can be frozen.
Healing mechanic: Converts a portion of the damage dealt into health points
Standard bonuses
- Increased ranged damage (+15 %)
- Increased lifesteal from abilities (+15 %)
- Increased lifesteal from weapons (+15 %)

These are the playable abilities: In the demo, four abilities are playable, and a maximum of three can be equipped at the same time:

Shrapnel: A proximity mine that deals damage to enemies in the vicinity and interrupts bosses when using abilities.
Freeze Turret: An automatic turret that deals damage to enemies and can freeze them. It can be destroyed by enemies or will disappear once the duration of the skill ends.
Tormentor: A stationary rocket launcher that can be placed and fires a wave of rockets forward. Each rocket deals massive damage and interrupts enemies.
Pestilence Bullets: Your next magazine deals poison damage and inflicts 50% more base damage. The poison effect is also spread to nearby enemies.

His skills are thus well-suited for freezing, poisoning, and stopping larger groups. The Tormentor rockets and the mine can also deal explosive damage.

You strengthen your skills with equipment

What equipment should be used? Even in the demo, you can create powerful combinations with appropriate weapons and rare (blue) equipment.

For example, you can have up to two movement mines, significantly enhance your rockets, or properly upgrade your turret. Here are some examples of possible modifications available in the demo:

Headgear
- Initial explosion: Tormentor causes an additional explosion that deals 100 damage to enemies within 5 meters.
- More Traps: You can drop an additional Shrapnel mine before the cooldown activates.
- Higher Damage: Your Freeze Turret deals additional damage per hit.
Upper Body
- Hail Shot: The damage of the Freeze Turret is increased based on your skill damage.
Lower Body
- Reserve Magazine: Grants an additional magazine for Pestilence Bullets before the cooldown activates.
Gloves
- Frost Storm: Tormentor rockets gain a freeze effect
- Surprise: The Freeze Turret explodes before it is destroyed, dealing damage in a radius of 6 meters
- Enhanced Rockets: Each Tormentor rocket deals 16 additional damage.
Shoes
- Critical Analysis: Increases critical hit damage with Pestilence Bullets by 30 %
- Supplies: You can drop an additional Shrapnel mine before the cooldown activates.
- Higher Range: Increases the range of Tormentor rockets by +60 %
- Bonus Duration: Increases the lifespan of the turret by +30 %

Although there are no legendary armors in the demo yet, you can already take a first look at the powerful loot.

Free selection of weapons

Which weapons are suitable? At first glance, ranged weapons like automatic sniper rifles, rifles, and repeaters are best suited for the Technomancer. This is not wrong. Especially rifles come with lifesteal and can thus additionally enhance your self-healing.

However, essentially you can play whatever suits you. What’s important is that you deal consistent damage to continuously heal yourself. The modifications of the weapons also play a role.

What mods are interesting? There are also powerful modifications for weapons that fit well with the Technomancer. The selection in the demo is already impressive. Here are a few examples:

Shield Maiden: Shots generate a shield – especially on rifles, this skill provides good protection with self-healing, allowing you to shoot at enemies for longer.
Lord of Parasites: Killshots increase lifesteal from weapons by 20% for 20 seconds – so if you get kills, your healing from hits increases even more.
Poison Bullets: Shots cause a poison effect on enemies. The cooldown is 8 seconds. – If you omit Pestilence Bullets, you can still poison your enemies with weapons.
Ash Bullets: Shots cause an ash effect on enemies. The cooldown is 8 seconds. – Similar to a freeze effect, enemies are slowed by ash effects, giving you more time to shoot.

Maybe you’ll get lucky and find a legendary weapon already in the demo. There are already a few ways to farm them there.

You can check how the Technomancer looks in action in the video by YouTuber True Vanguard:

These are additional skills: In the finished game, there are a total of eight different abilities. The remaining four will be unlocked at higher levels, which are not available in the demo yet.

It is known that the Technomancer receives the skill “Tool of Annihilation,” which unlocks a rocket launcher and a minigun. Later, a skill will also follow that heals your entire group. It is the only healing skill for the whole group in Outriders. With later equipment and the missing skills, there is still much more to come.

Pokémon GO: Important change makes the next Community Day better

Max Handwerk 1. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO a new update brings some changes. These include adjusted catch rates, which are just right for the upcoming Community Day.

This is what is happening in Pokémon GO: In Pokémon GO, the legendary season has just begun, and the associated update not only affects the spawns.

As the data miners from Pokeminers have found, there are some adjustments to the catch rates in the game’s GameMaster. One of the adjusted Pokémon is Dartiri, which is also the focus of the upcoming Community Day in March.

This is how the catch rate changes: According to the data miners in a post in the Pokémon GO subreddit, Dartiri’s catch rate will be significantly increased. While the rate was previously only at 20%, it has now been raised to 50% (via reddit). This means that the little bird will break out of your Poké Balls significantly less often.

This is how the Community Day improves: Already at the launch of Generation 6, players complained about Dartiri being rather difficult to catch. Now that it will be the event Pokémon on the upcoming Community Day, there were concerns that it could be quite a tough day that would cost many Poké Balls.

Now, with the catch rate adjusted, the Community Day should be much more relaxed than feared. By the way, the catch rates for Dartiri’s evolutions Dartignis and Fiaro have also been adjusted. If you encounter the Pokémon, the rates are as follows:

For Dartignis, the rate has been raised from 10% to 25%, and the flee rate has been reduced from 10% to 9%.
Fiaro’s rate was 5% and is now 12.5%. Furthermore, the flee rate is now 5% instead of 10%.

Both Pokémon were not previously found in the wild. It’s possible that these catch rates will become interesting for players who buy the additional research for Dartiri on Community Day. In the past, these researches offered encounters with the event Pokémon’s evolutions.

Even more improved catch opportunities

What other changes are coming? With the bird Pokémon, it’s not over yet. More Pokémon opportunities are set to be adjusted in the new update according to the Pokeminers. These include:

Gelatini (from 10% to 40%)
Scoppel (from 20% to 50%)
Leufeo (from 30% to 40%)
Pyroleo (from 10% to 20%)
eF-eM (from 30% to 40%, and the flee rate has also been lowered from 10% to 9%).

Although these changes do not directly affect the Community Day, they should bring joy to players, as the Pokémon can now be caught much easier in the wild. Back in January, there were complaints regarding the catch rates for Gelatini or Scoppel, which some trainers considered unjustified. Now, for example, you can find the bunny monster Scoppel with a green ring in the wild.

Speaking of hard to catch: Raid bosses can also pose their own challenges. You first have to take them down before you can even catch them. Here you can find all raid bosses in March 2021 and which are worth the effort.

Apex Legends is suddenly in the top 5 on Steam – What makes it so good in 2021?

Benedict Grothaus 1. March 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

The Battle Royale Apex Legends has set a new record. In February 2021, more players played the online shooter on Steam than ever before – and there are also players on other platforms. We take a look at what makes the game so great in early 2021.

The current situation of Apex Legends: Apex Legends set a new record with 196,799 players simultaneously in February 2021 (via steamcharts). On average, between 100,000 and 120,000 players played in the past weeks.

This makes Apex Legends significantly stronger than in January. In the list of the top games on Steam, Apex Legends is ahead of well-known giants like GTA V, Team Fortress 2, and the rising star Rust. It is only slightly behind the new Steam hit Valheim.

These numbers only account for Steam. Apex Legends launched on Steam in November 2020 along with Season 7 and has grown there since. Additionally, there are players on PlayStation, Xbox, and via EA’s own launcher Origin. In our list of the best battle royale games, Apex Legends ranks 3rd.

After the successful launch on Steam, the numbers have grown again. Just in time for its second birthday on February 4, the new Season 8 started, which is likely responsible for the significant increase.

Season 8 causes a surge of players

Where do the player numbers come from? Apex Legends was released on February 4, 2019, almost out of nowhere and without any announcement, only to shortly thereafter explode in popularity. In 2021, the new battle royale has launched its eighth season.

The trailer for Season 8: Mayhem.

What’s new in Season 2? As usual, the new season brings numerous changes and innovations. The biggest new feature is the legend Fuse, who has made it directly into the A-tier of our tier list for Apex Legends. Fuse is an explosives expert who handles various explosive skills:

Grenadier (Passive) – Fuse carries one more grenade per slot and can throw them farther, faster, and more accurately.
Knuckle Cluster (Tactical) – Throws a cluster bomb that explodes at the target location and causes further explosions in the air.
The Destroyer (Ultimate) – Bombards an area and surrounds it with a wall of flames.

Additionally, the 30-30 Repeater is a new weapon that can be fired quickly or charged for more damage. In the weapon, each round is loaded individually, allowing for sustained pressure even at long distances.

For many other weapons in Apex Legends, there are now golden magazines that automatically reload the weapon after a while of being stowed away.

The first map of Apex Legends, Kings Canyon, is also changing with Season 8. A huge ship has crashed, opening up a new area of the map. Additionally, adjustments have been made to many familiar locations and new lookout towers for reconnaissance or snipers. The developers have extensively described all the changes in their blog (via EA).

In addition to the major gameplay changes, there are some minor adjustments to the game:

Improvements to the HUD and the popular ping system
Adjustments to the hitboxes of the legends
Adjustments to weapons and rotation of the arsenal

You can find the full patch notes on the Apex Legends website. However, a special event was also launched for Season 8, which likely also contributed to the influx of players.

Anniversary event brings great rewards for a limited time

For the anniversary of Apex Legends, the developers brought a limited-time event into the game. From February 9 to 23, players could earn rewards with a special playlist, games, and challenges.

Among the rewards were popular skins and cosmetics from past events in a new look and the ability to earn enough shards for an heirloom of choice. The game mode “Loaded and Unsecured” dropped players directly into battle with equipment and removed common loot from the loot pool, resulting in more action in the rounds.

The major changes since release

What else has changed? Since Apex Legends launched two years ago, a lot has changed. Anyone who hasn’t played since February 2019 will encounter many new features. Some of the biggest changes include:

many new legends with unique abilities and synergies
new weapons and a rotation to provide variety
a new ranked mode to showcase your skill
two new maps, with two of the three maps available each season
map changes for all maps with constant adjustments
special map features such as loot vaults, environmental hazards, and more
various events that continuously bring new challenges and cosmetics to the game
new battle passes

Is Apex Legends still worth it in 2021? Even though the anniversary event is long over, Season 8 brings many innovations that are still exciting. Additionally, Apex Legends continuously introduces new events to keep the game refreshing.

Anyone looking for an alternative to Fortnite or CoD Warzone will find Apex Legends is still a great fit and apparently enough players. The battle royale even supports crossplay, allowing you to play with friends on different platforms if you wish.

The success of Apex Legends comes primarily from its continuous development and the quality it has consistently delivered:

the game was already good at launch – the gameplay loop and core gameplay are strong
Apex Legends has been well and solidly developed over the course of 2 years with many features and new legends
events and battle passes keep players engaged
and when Apex Legends gives players the opportunity to earn coveted cosmetics for free, it generates a strong player boost

The gameplay itself appeals to something that especially shooter players and action fans enjoy: varied rounds with intense fights against other players and adrenaline from the pressure of the closing circle. Various weapons and characters round out the experience.

On March 9, Apex Legends will even be released for the Nintendo Switch. So for those who prefer gaming on the portable console, they can soon take the game on the go and play it anywhere.

CoD Warzone secretly changes essays and destroys strong weapons from Cold War

Maik Schneider 1. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

Season 2 of Call of Duty: Warzone nerfs important attachments for “Cold War” weapons with range, making some strong weapons almost unusable. Which firearms you should leave in the closet for now and why this will change again soon, you can find out on MeinMMO.

Update March 4: An update has brought back the old strength of the suppressors. You can now use Cold War weapons without any downside.

Original message – Which attachments are affected? It is about the popular suppressor attachments for weapons from Black Ops Cold War. Specifically: The muzzle attachments in slot 6 that you unlock last:

Agency Suppressor
Wrapped Suppressor
GRU Muzzle Brake

These parts are essentially the counterpart to the “Monolithic Suppressor” for weapons from Modern Warfare – one of the most important attachments in Call of Duty: Warzone. A secret change with Season 2 made the attachments significantly weaker, and thus also the weapons that benefited from them.

MeinMMO shows you which weapons you should avoid in Warzone for the time being and how you can replace them. Additionally, we will show you what the developers say about the change. If you want to watch an analysis of the attachments in the video, check out the English YouTuber and Warzone expert “JGOD”. We’ll embed his video for you here:

Many weapons from Cold War suffer significantly from the adjustment

What happened to the attachments? Before Season 2, you could use them to increase your bullet speed and range, in addition to the silencing effect.

Currently, the suppressors reduce your bullet speed by a staggering 45%, putting some strong Cold War weapons in Warzone under pressure. The attachment was very important for range weapons from Cold War to keep up with their competitors from CoD MW.

Which weapons should I avoid for now? The best submachine guns in Warzone aside, you should currently avoid the “Cold War” weapons. All-round weapons that offer you a bit more range currently have a disadvantage compared to the guns from CoD MW. The most important ones:

Groza – Assault Rifle
FFAR 1 – Assault Rifle
Stoner 63 – LMG
DMR 14 – Tactical Rifle
M16 – Tactical Rifle
Pellington – Sniper Rifle
Tundra – Sniper Rifle

But all other assault rifles, LMGs, and tactical rifles also suffer from the change. Only the FFAR 1 can still hold its own somewhat for now, as it is effective at shorter distances. But keep your hands off the nerfed suppressors.

Look for alternatives, but don’t say goodbye

What can I use instead? Currently, you should instead rely on the arsenal from Modern Warfare. Our suggestions:

Replacement for all-round weapons with low range: Assault Rifle CR-56 AMAX
Replacement for all-round weapons with high range: Assault Rifle M4A1
Replacement for tactical rifles: DMRs SP-R 208 or Kar 98k
Replacement for snipers: Sniper rifles AX-50 or HDR

If you don’t want to be at a disadvantage with your weapon power, then use the guns from CoD MW for now again. But don’t put your FFAR too far back in the closet. It’s very possible that you can use it again soon.

What do the developers say about this? The CoD makers have indeed commented on the nerf:

Link to the Twitter content

Tweet translation: “We will bring the Agency/GRU/Wrapped suppressors back to their former glory in the next hotfix.”

The adjustment is also found on the Trello board of CoD. Here, the developers collect known bugs and show what is currently being worked on. The entry regarding the suppressor nerf has the note ”Fix planned” and has thus already passed the “Research” phase. An adjustment could come as early as this week. However, there is currently no set date.

In Season 2, not only weapon changes bring fresh air to the Warzone. There are new missile silos to marvel at, NPC zombies to incinerate, and some strong loot areas are now open and passable without a key card. This not only shakes up weapon selection but also your route in the battle royale a bit – make sure to check out the new features without “Cold War” weapons.

New alien glider in Fortnite has a secret feature – Here’s how to activate it

Eilyn Rapp 1. March 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is currently a new alien glider in the shop. However, it has a secret feature that can be activated. We will show you what that feature is and how you can activate it.

This is what’s happening in Fortnite: In Season 5 – Chapter 2, some crossovers with other games and movies are taking place. This is because Agent Jonesy is assembling a crew made up of characters from different universes. They are meant to guard the Zero Point together.

Through these crossovers, we have already seen some characters from The Walking Dead, Terminator, Predator, and Tron.

The latest crossover is currently taking place with the “Alien” film series, and you can buy various items and skins to match in the item shop. This includes the alien glider, which comes with a hidden feature.

Alien glider has a secret feature

What can the new glider do? The “Cheyenne spaceship” is part of the Alien set and can be obtained individually for 1,200 V-Bucks or in a bundle in the shop. The glider is quite large, and as soon as it opens, the wings are unpacked with rocket launchers.

However, some players have noticed that the glider is reactive, and the wings can be folded back while flying, as this clip on Twitter shows:

How can you activate the feature? Since nowhere has it been stated that the glider is reactive, some may not know this feature yet. You can only change the glider if you press the shoot button while flying – then the wings will disappear.

This won’t give you any advantages, like with all cosmetic items, but it is a fun, hidden detail. So, if you’ve bought the glider, you can show off the secret feature while the other players can only look on in amazement.

Cosmetic items should not give you any advantages in the game. However, this is not always the case, as there have already been skins and items that were called Pay2Win. This is also true for the superhero skins, which have been causing problems due to their appearance for some time now.

New Free2Play RPG launches on Steam: Features beautiful women, receives ugly reviews

Schuhmann 1. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The online action RPG League of Maidens launched on Steam last week: The focus in its advertising is clearly on the women of the game, but many Steam reviews emphasize the ugly sides of this pseudo-MMORPG.

This is how League of Maidens presents itself: The game emphasizes mainly that it is free-to-play, and it repeatedly showcases its female characters. There is hardly an official image of League of Maidens without a woman posing. The focus is often on the breasts, but the characters’ rear-ends are also prominently displayed.

In the Steam presentation, it says: “League of Maidens is a FREE online action RPG featuring beautiful women with weapons and superpowers.”

When we first introduced the game in October 2019 on MeinMMO: League of Maidens fully relies on sex and optics. It officially launched on Steam on February 25, 2021, albeit as an early-access title.

“Everything in the game is behind a paywall”

What are the reviews on Steam? We will first quote some of the negative reviews:

“The game combines all the negative things a game can have: loot boxes, premium pass, battle pass, many microtransactions, an energy system, time gates, and so on […] Everything in the game is behind a paywall. The character editor is good, but most is locked.”

A player from Germany calls League of Maidens a “glorified mobile game with exaggerated character creation” – He says: A simple hairstyle costs 1000 gems or around €4.99.

Players who have been following the game since early access criticize: The development of the game is slow. The gameplay is dull, everything takes longer than necessary, and the monetization is genuinely terrible.

One review states: League of Maidens feels like an NSFW casino – everything is flashy, and when you click on something, you’re asked if you want to buy it.

League of Maidens: A “Waifu Simulator”

Are there any positive voices? League of Maidens started with poor ratings. However, it recovered over the weekend. The game now holds 41% positive reviews on Steam, which is rated as “mixed.”

The positive voices essentially say:

League of Maidens is a “waifu simulator”.

The character creation is detailed: One says he spent 4 hours creating a “sexy vampire maiden” or a “fox lady”.

The in-game currency can also be earned through hard grinding, and you can earn the 5000 units needed for a piece of clothing in 2 dungeon runs that take 15 minutes each.

However, even the positive reviews say: The game is repetitive in its current form and urgently needs multiplayer and significant development.

League of Maidens is currently a single-player game with “multiplayer” features like online lobbies. You must be always online to play. The team anticipates adding additional multiplayer features if they can secure the resources for it.

Pseudo-MMORPGs rely on grind and cash shop

What’s behind it: League of Maidens is a type of game that attracts MMO gamers, even though it does not offer multiplayer: A kind of pseudo-MMORPG that focuses on grinding and quests, on items and leveling, and above all on the cosmetic customization of one’s character.

These are all aspects that MMORPG players love and yearn for, since the “real MMORPG market” has dried up. Many mobile MMORPGs are structured after this pattern: Thus, the comparison to the “glorified mobile game” actually fits.

Even the surprise hit of 2020 “Genshin Impact” relied on many mechanics that are actually known from mobile games.

More on the topic

A YouTuber invests a lot of money in Genshin Impact so you can see how stupid that is

von Schuhmann

In principle, players always have a choice:

Either I pay money and get what I want immediately.
Or I invest a lot of time and earn it.

The topic of free-to-play games and grind divides the MMO community:

Some completely reject grind and find this pay-to-“get what you want” mechanic terrible. They want diverse games that impress with systems and innovation.
Others, however, actually like the grind and enjoy repeating the same thing over a longer period to earn the item they want – They find the grind relaxing, even meditative. Achieving the goals is satisfying for them.

Snoop Dogg is live on Twitch for 15 minutes, plays, gets upset and leaves

Patrick Freese 1. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

Rapper Snoop Dogg attempted a livestream on Twitch over the weekend. He played Madden NFL and had enough after just 15 minutes.

What was the stream like? The rapper, producer, and actor Snoop Dogg is regularly seen in livestreams. Sometimes he appears in Xbox streams or even plays on his own channel.

On Sunday, he started a stream of Madden NFL 21, the football game from EA. He played on his Xbox and had a webcam showing him in a gaming room. But after 15 minutes, he had enough of the game. Then he swore after a play, hit the table, and turned off the console. He then left the room. His stream continued for more than 7 hours after that.

Snoop Dogg as a Gamer: In Germany, Snoop Dogg is mainly known as a rapper or actor. Under various names like “Snoop Doggy Dogg”, “Snoop Lion”, or “Snoopzilla”, he released numerous tracks and albums. These span various genres from rap to reggae to funk to gospel.

In recent years, the rapper has frequently been seen in connection with games. He appeared at events like E3 or played in streams himself. He played the survival game SOS in a livestream while smoking grass.

How Snoop Dogg’s Ragequit Happened

This is how it went down: Snoop Dogg started his stream with the title: “Sit Back, Relax and Chill it’s a vibe in here”. So quite in the spirit of: Grab a chair and switch off for a bit. We’re chilling together here.

But his match in Madden was not going according to his expectations. After the opponent scored a touchdown, the rapper shouted “FUCK” and looked angrily at his monitor. At the same time, he opened the Xbox menu. It took a few seconds before he finally turned off the console.

Accompanied by a “Fuck this shit” and two slams on the desk. He continued to curse about the game, took off his headphones. Then he stood up and left the room. All captured by his webcam, which remained active.

His stream title of “sit back and chill” was not fulfilled by the stream.

Interestingly, the stream ran for over 7 hours more. A total of 7 hours and 37 minutes after the stream started, Snoop Dogg returned to the gaming room to turn off the stream.

How many were watching? At the beginning of his stream, there were between 200 and 400 viewers watching live. While the rapper was afk, the numbers climbed to over 4,000 concurrent viewers (via TwitchTracker). The clip of the ragequit was viewed by over 230,000 people (as of March 1 at 11:17 AM).

Snoop Dogg is known as an emotional gamer

This has happened before: It is already known that Snoop Dogg plays the football series “Madden NFL” from EA. In 2019, he founded the “Gangsta Gaming League” and plays tournaments there with his friends, which are then broadcast live on Twitch and Co.

In 2019, Snoop played Madden 20 with a duo partner. The two lost the match and were interviewed afterwards. He was asked how he felt after the hard defeat and emotionally responded:

“How the hell do you think I feel? Don’t ask such stupid questions. I feel like shit.” When he was then asked who should win the tournament, he ended the interview and snapped at the reporter. Telling her to stop asking such annoying questions.

This fascinating Twitch clip shows how Snoop Dogg handles a defeat.
