In Pokémon GO today, on Sunday, July 30, 2023, the next Community Day focusing on Quapsel is taking place. We will show you what content and bonuses you can expect.
What kind of event is this? During the Community Day, a specific Pokémon is the focus for several hours. In this case, it is Quapsel.
This is not particularly rare, but it offers a new move for its evolutions Quappo and Quaxo on C-Day. Especially the move Counter is interesting for Quappo and makes the Community Day surprisingly strong.
When is the Community Day with Quapsel? It starts on Sunday, July 30, 2023, at 2:00 PM local time and runs until 5:00 PM. You have three hours to participate.
Here we show you how to make the most of the event.
Community Day Classic in July 2023 with Quapsel – Start, Bonuses, Content
What? Community Day with Quapsel When? Sunday, July 30, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time Pokémon of the Day: Quapsel spawns almost everywhere in the wild Exclusive Move: The move “Counter” when you evolve Quaputzi into Quappo, or Ice Beam when you evolve Quaputzi into Quaxo. You have from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM for the evolutions. Bonuses: – Eggs hatch four times faster during the event – There are double catch candy and twice the chance of XL candy for trainers starting from level 31 – Incense and lure modules last 3 hours – Snapshot surprises – An additional special trade – so two per day – Trading costs 50% less stardust – The special research “Sliding Spirals” will also be available in the shop and costs one euro
After the event, bonus raid battles will also take place. From 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, Quaputzi will appear in level 4 raids, and after a victory, many Quapsel will appear nearby for 30 minutes.
Who is the Community Day with Quapsel worth it for?
Quapsel is not a particularly rare Pokémon, but due to the moves available during the event, it is worth evolving mainly to Quappo.
Can Quapsel be Shiny? Yes, you can catch the tadpole Pokémon Quapsel as a shiny variant. The chances are increased during the event and after a gym victory until 10:00 PM. Here you can check out the visual adjustments:
How strong is Quapsel? Quapsel itself does not play a significant role; its evolution is much more useful. Quappo is a strong monster in the PvP league. Thanks to the Community Day, Quappo can also learn Counter if you evolve it from Quaputzi during the event or up to 5 hours afterwards.
In the subreddit “TheSilphRoad” about Pokémon GO, this is generating excitement. A user explains that this would elevate a decent candidate in the league to an absolute meta pick (via Reddit). The PvP expert JRE47 also emphasizes based on PvPoke simulations that Quappo will be really powerful in the league (via Reddit).
How to prepare for the Community Day
Bring empty incubators: If you have any eggs hatching now, you should ensure that your incubator(s) are empty on Sunday. This way, you can select the eggs during the event and hatch them four times faster.
More items: Having enough Poké Balls for catching is important. We recommend having about 200 to 300 on hand. You can also use Razz Berries to grab more additional candies.
Mega Pokémon for more candies: If you have an appropriate Mega evolution active, you will receive more candies for your catches.
Since Quapsel is a Water type, you will need an appropriate Mega evolution of this type. The following are suitable:
Mega Blastoise
Mega Gyarados
Mega Lapras
Mega Swampert
Primal Kyogre
Clear space: Prepare space in your Pokémon collection so that you don’t have to send off many monsters during ComDay. Use the filter function. With the search term
“0*, 1*, 2*”
the game will show you only monsters that are worse than 2 stars.

Cross Tails is a tactical RPG for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch. Behind the cute anime aesthetics lies a solid strategy game with catgirls. On Steam, it has 84% positive reviews.
What kind of game is this? Cross Tails is a JRPG that lets you experience the war between two opposing races from both sides. Players have the choice between two protagonists: Felix Arens from the Dogians and Shaimaa Jerbi, a catgirl from the Felis tribe.
Cross Tails was released on July 20, 2023, on Steam and is also available for Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch. It regularly costs €29.99 across all platforms.
You can watch the official trailer here. However, the physical edition is expected to be available only in Asian countries.

Cross Tails – The Tactical RPG with Catgirls
Tactical RPG with the ‘Meow Factor’
What does the catgirl TRPG offer? Cross Tails is a tactical strategy RPG reminiscent of classics like Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem. The turn-based battles take place on 3D stages with an isometric view, allowing you to use the terrain and elevation to your advantage.
On its Steam page, the RPG promises:
Customization options with 24 class types. Each character can have a main job and a subclass.
A skill tree for each of the 24 professions
Passive equipment for the passive skills learned in the skill tree
Equipment upgrades for weapons and armor using rune stones
A belief system that grants bonuses for stats or special abilities
What does Cross Tails do right? Cross Tails is a beginner-friendly strategy RPG that impresses with its numerous customization options and cute character design.
For genre fans, it fulfills the need for a tactical RPG and presents a pleasant challenge for experienced players with its various difficulty levels.
What could be improved? There is criticism regarding the localization. Cross Tails is only available in English and Japanese, and the English translation doesn’t always shine.
Cross Tails seems to have flown under the radar of many players so far. On Steam, the JRPG has only 25 reviews, of which 84% are positive. We have summarized some reviews for you here:
Jedo: “Cross Tails is a relatively cheap tactical JRPG that offers you 30-50+ hours of content with impressive customization options.”
RuhRohRush: “Strong tactical game with some balancing issues. The Maniac difficulty level is a welcome challenge. Good replay value.”
Seraph: “Came for the story and the humans with animal ears. Stayed for the gameplay and the humans with animal ears.”
So, if you are looking for a relatively short tactical RPG to pass the time and are not put off (or even drawn in) by the anime aesthetics, Cross Tails might be worth it for you.
Not only games from the Asian region often struggle with criticism regarding localization, but also series. The German dubs of animes have a pretty bad reputation. You can find out what it’s all about here:
Blizzard held a livestream on Friday about the future of Diablo 4 and promised several changes that were well received by fans. However, a highlight was only announced a few hours after the stream.
What information was shared in the stream on Friday?
On Friday evening, Blizzard outlined Patch 1.1.1 for Diablo 4, which is set to release on August 8.
Overall, the livestream was well received, as Blizzard promised numerous improvements: Apparently, the new patch is a direct response to the last patch, where many things were nerfed, and which brought down the mood. We have summarized the main points of the patch here for you on MeinMMO.
However, one change was only presented after the stream, and it has received widespread enthusiasm.

Horses can break through annoying barricades
This change was announced after the stream: Game Director Joe Shelby revealed half a day after the stream, on Saturday morning at 11 AM our time:
“We will allow mounts to take a run at breaking through barricades. I noticed that I did not explicitly explain this in the Diablo 4 Campfire Chat.”

Blizzard acknowledges numerous complaints about tedious travel
Why is the change so well received? Breaking through barricades is generally perceived as a very welcome “Quality of Life” improvement, as it is simply annoying in the current Diablo 4:
The mount was supposed to provide fast travel
But the annoying barricades significantly slow down speed while exploring and traveling
Since the release, many complaints have been made that these barricades make travel unnecessarily tedious, as players have to dismount and destroy them.
Moreover, it simply sounds like a lot of fun to charge through a barricade with the horse.
The livestream with the changes there seems to have pleased many. The added bonus that Blizzard is giving horses more love has helped as well.
In Destiny 2 there is an interesting development on Steam: With the expansion Lightfall, Destiny 2 was able to reach more players at its peak than at any other time since its release on Steam in October 2019. However, just 5 months later, it becomes clear that Destiny 2 cannot retain the players.
What was so special about the launch of Lightfall?
The launch of Lightfall on February 28, 2023, caused a huge surge for Destiny 2. Even beforehand, the player numbers had shot up from a low point (38,158) to (72,137). At release, they then reached their peak with 316,651 at the top and an average of 135,102 players.
Compared to February, the player numbers increased by 63%: The interest in Destiny 2 on Steam was even higher at its peak than during the Steam launch: back then, they reached a maximum of 293,000 players – at the release of Lightfall, there were 316,651 players.
However, just a few months after the release of Lightfall, almost all new players have disappeared, and player numbers on Steam have fallen significantly. With an average of 47,766 players, we are almost back to the weak level from November 2022. Compared to the peak, 64% of players are gone.
Start video
Destiny 2: Lightfall – “Season of Resistance” trailer
Destiny 2 was able to build strong hype – However, it could not maintain this hype
What is the reason for this? The site Forbes analyzes dryly: Although Bungie succeeded in generating strong hype with Lightfall, in the end, Lightfall could not live up to this hype.
Qualitatively, Lightfall is worse than earlier expansions Witch Queen (2022), Beyond Light (2020), and Forsaken (2018). Only with the weak 2019 expansion Shadowkeep can Lightfall keep up.
The expansion, Forbes judges, lacks a good story, compelling characters, and significant expansions of the PvP.
What makes the decline now extraordinary: While a player drop after an expansion is normal and has often happened in Destiny 2: such a significant decline over 4 months is relatively rare.
Such a drastic decline in Steam player numbers over 4 months last occurred with the release on Steam in 2019.
They waited for help from Sony, but that seems to go into other projects
What is behind this: Since the release of Destiny 1 in 2014, it is known that the loot shooter is an extremely resource-consuming game, on which hundreds, even thousands of developers work, but never enough to satisfy the content hunger of the fans.
Therefore, Activision Blizzard had early on planned to support Bungie with additional teams.
The Forsaken expansion (2018) was also so strong because several other teams besides Bungie could work on the expansion.
However, with the separation from Activision Blizzard, the support studios also disappeared, and game director Luke Smith admitted in 2020 that Bungie could never again manage a large Destiny expansion like Forsaken. This turned out to be true. Instead of focusing on story, secrets, and new game content, Bungie focused more on grind, time gates, and content stretching starting in 2019.
A year and a half after the purchase, however, one must conclude that Bungie has more resources, but they do not necessarily flow into Destiny 2, but into new projects.
The exciting thing is that Destiny 2, even 9 years after its release with a new expansion like Lightfall, still has enormous potential to draw attention and set new records on Steam. However, it seems to lack the substance to retain a large part of the players in the medium term.
The MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV (PC, PS4, PS5, soon Xbox Series X) will receive 2 new DPS classes with the expansion Dawntrail in summer 2024: a melee DPS and a spell class. We look at the clues from the trailer and Naoki Yoshida’s T-shirt, and we considered the hottest fan speculations on which new job could come to the MMORPG.
This is the situation with the classes of FF 14:
Final Fantasy XIV now has 20 different jobs. With the last expansion Endwalker, the “Reaper” and the “Sage” were added.
With the Dawntrail expansion in summer 2024, a new melee fighter and a new wizard are expected to join the roster.
The mastermind behind the game hinted that almost all known classes from the “Final Fantasy” series are now in the MMORPG, so a completely new class could come.

T-Shirt clue shows the Ninja Turtles this time
Are there any clues? Usually, the game’s leader, Yoshi-P, gives a hint about which new class is coming to Final Fantasy XIV by giving a cheeky tip through a piece of clothing. He wore a Batman T-shirt in 2014 to hint at the “Dark Knight.”
In 2023, he wore a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” shirt. This is a hard-to-decipher hint, as classes like Ninja, Samurai, and Monk are already in the game.
It could be a class that uses a staff like Donatello
It could even be a class that uses multiple weapons of the Turtles
Perhaps a new scout class that uses nunchucks (Michelangelo) or sais (Raphael) could come
This is what the game’s leader looked like at the fan fest: Image source: IGN
In addition to Yoshida’s T-shirt, several images showing the Warrior of Light in a new outfit were spotted in the trailer for the new expansion. Many see this as a hint at the new melee class.
Three screenshots were discovered by users on reddit in the trailer:

Reddit speculates the “Corsair” as the new melee class
What new job are fans speculating about? The favorite on reddit appears to be the “Corsair”: A class that relies on chance in Final Fantasy and could use a sword/pistol combo in Final Fantasy XIV. Alternatively, it could be a pirate.
Most speculations focus on the melee DPS. There are significantly fewer speculations about the caster. Ideas like Necromancer or Pictomancer are circulating here.
The presentation of the upcoming ARPG Path of Exile 2 achieved what few can: An innovation even impressed the Twitch streamer Asmongold, who is known for always finding something to complain about.
What is this feature? At ExileCon 2023, the standalone successor to the major Diablo competitor Path of Exile was presented. In particular, the combat system is supposed to become more dynamic and brings some changes. With this, the ARPG wants to be both more beginner-friendly and harder.
One highlight for many players is probably the overhaul of weapon switching. This innovation even drew enthusiastic praise from the otherwise critical Asmongold.
If you don’t have money for Diablo 4, you can settle for Path of Exile 2, as it is free-to-play like its predecessor.

Twitch streamer Asmongold says: “Stop watching streams at 3 AM if you don’t have money!”
PoE 2 seems to have thought of everything
What impresses Asmongold? As the Twitch streamer watches the presentation of Path of Exile 2 with his viewers, he is impressed by the new weapon switching. Switching weapons was so cumbersome in the predecessor that it was rarely used.
As a result, the weapon switching in Path of Exile 2 is fundamentally overhauled: The player can equip 2 weapons, and both are displayed on the character. Each skill can now be assigned a weapon. When you use a skill, it automatically switches to the corresponding weapon.
Asmongold is pleased about this innovation but also immediately recognizes a significant problem: What about the Passives? But the developer Grinding Gears has considered that too.
The news that you can assign individual passive skill trees to the weapons, which also switch with the weapon change, earns Asmongold raised eyebrows and a nod of approval: “That’s pretty crazy.”

After the Twitch streamer recently expressed criticism of Diablo 4 and already said in Season 1 that he was “done” with the game, Path of Exile 2 could represent a welcome alternative. However, he will have to wait a little longer until the start of the closed beta in June 2024.
If you are in a similar position to Asmongold and have had enough of Diablo 4 for now, while the release of PoE 2 is still far off, MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has a hot tip for you:
MeinMMO editor Maik loves little tricks in games like Diablo 4. Best are those that are not so obvious, to perhaps show off a bit. But he would rather forget an inventory trick in Blizzard’s action RPG.
Do you know these teammates? The types who let you make mistakes three times before they rudely press a simple trick on you?
By now, you know one: Hi, I’m Maik.
Diablo 4 is yet another game that doesn’t fully explain many important mechanics, and due to my research for MeinMMO, I often have a small information advantage when it comes to weak equipment values or other important info.
However, there is one trick I won’t share privately because it stabs in my chest just thinking about it: it’s about leaving uniques and legendarys behind in Diablo 4.
I was particularly proud and rude about my first discovered trick after the release. However, it is also helpful, as you can see clearly in the video:
Start video
Diablo 4: Immediately activate these 2 settings, otherwise you will miss important equipment values
What kind of trick is that? Players of Diablo 4 must keep their inventory clean. This applies to the stash as well as the inventory on the go. There are some tricks for inventory management. You can socket gems because you get them back when dismantling items.
One trick recommends simply leaving unique items and legendarys behind. Just writing this makes me shake my head.
In total, 10 uniques and legendarys will automatically be sent to the stash. The next time you go to the loot stash, you can collect the “forgotten” items here.
And how terrible is that? I tried it for a session, and it hurt every time. Just leaving the best loot behind? The stuff that blinks and shines the most? That could be exactly the aspect I need?
Even though it’s nice that up to 10 items are sent after us. It is also terrible and cruel. Just like me when I laugh at a clueless teammate who has no idea. Apparently, I deserve that.
Choo Choo Charles is a game on Steam, in which players are hunted by a giant spider train. The trailer for this crazy horror game went viral in 2021, but what many didn’t know: Behind the hype was a young solo developer.
On December 9, 2022, the horror game Choo Choo Charles was released on Steam. The open-world game lets players explore a remote island while being chased by a creepy train with spider legs.
Behind the game is the young solo developer Gavin Eisenbeisz, who started developing his own games at the age of 13. As it turns out, the viral success of Choo Choo Charles was anything but random; it was precisely planned by Eisenbeisz.
Start video
Choo-Choo Charles – Release Date Trailer
How to develop games with limited screen time
So it all began: As a teenager, Eisenbeisz started developing his own games on the family computer. Instead of learning a programming language, he used blueprints to create games with the Unreal Engine.
In 2017, Eisenbeisz published his first computer game on Steam: Behind These Eyes, which he retrospectively calls “a terrible game” in an interview with the YouTube channel Noclip, but it earned him “a few hundred dollars”.
The young developer released more shorter titles that are mainly categorized under the horror genre and are available for free on Steam.
His parents supported his passion, but there were limitations: As Eisenbeisz reports to Noclip, they limited his screen time as well as his “developer time.” However, he regularly exceeded these times to test and play his games, his father reveals.
How did a hobby turn into a career? At the age of 16, Eisenbeisz began work on his first “real” commercial game, My Beautiful Paper Smile. The horror game is about children who must always smile and be “perfect” and comes in a unique, hand-drawn style.
However, the young developer had a problem: His parents wanted him to secure himself with a proper education before fully diving into game development. Eisenbeisz was supposed to go to university and study first.
To circumvent this requirement, he signed a publishing contract for My Beautiful Paper Smile – therefore he was contractually obligated to finish the game and had no time for studying.
But what Eisenbeisz needed was a hit to convince his parents that he could achieve commercial success with his games. When My Beautiful Paper Smile was released on October 14, 2021, the now 20-year-old had already begun work on his next project.
How to create a viral hit
This is how he built hype for his game: The young developer consciously started work on Choo Choo Charles with the goal of going viral. This started with the design of the titular antagonist of the game.
Eisenbeisz explains the well-known horror formula of taking something sweet and innocent and making it creepy. However, he noticed that not many games in the genre were inspired by children’s shows – yet everyone had seen them as a child.
He opted for “Thomas the Tank Engine,” which he claims was his favorite show as a child. The talking train with the friendly face was already the subject of numerous memes, some of which alluded to a certain creepiness of the locomotive.
Eisenbeisz was also inspired by the videos of animator Tom Coben, who gave the little locomotive long spider legs and turned it into a monster dubbed “Thomas the Nightmare Engine.”

Thomas the Nightmare Engine was an inspiration for Choo Choo Charles
The young developer had a fundamental game idea and a villain with high recognition value and meme potential. Within a month, he put together a trailer that showcased the game’s world, some gameplay mechanics, and of course, the creepy antagonist.
Did his plan work? His considerations paid off when Eisenbeisz released the trailer on October 1, 2021, and it instantly received thousands of views. At that time, he didn’t have a game yet, just a Steam page and a video that was about to go viral.
The day after the release, the trailer achieved one million views on Twitter, and Choo Choo Charles landed on the wish lists of thousands of Steam users. Now, Eisenbeisz faced the difficult task of developing a game that could live up to the hype.
How to develop a game in a year
How did the development of Choo Choo Charles go? To finish his game in time, the solo developer had to make some decisions and compromises. Eisenbeisz explains that many developers consider features essential that are actually not that important.
He always asked himself the question: “Will people write a negative review if I leave out this feature? Or will they write a positive review if I add it?” Moreover, he didn’t embed too many extras.
His goal was to meet expectations and slightly exceed them, he explains to Noclip.
So, Eisenbeisz invested a lot of work in the AI of the horror train but kept the actual gameplay loop quite simple and engaging. He also had to make compromises on aspects such as the facial animations of his NPCs.
Eisenbeisz invested a lot of work into the behavior of Choo Choo Charles
What problems were there? Eisenbeisz reports several issues during the development process. For example, Choo Choo Charles, due to its size and uneven terrain, was prone to getting stuck constantly.
Moreover, the developer had to ensure that the player could encounter the antagonist on the large open island.
During development, there were also moments when Eisenbeisz found his own game to be bad. Concepts were changed or discarded, and new ones were introduced.
In the final weeks before release, the developer then dedicated himself to marketing. He contacted content creators, produced videos for his channels on YouTube and TikTok, and prepared for the big moment.
How to release your game
This is how the release went: On December 9, 2022, it finally happened: Eisenbeisz started a stream in which he shared the live release of Choo Choo Charles on Steam.
Contrary to his fears, there were no major bugs at release (besides the giant spider train itself), allowing the developer to sit back and watch how his game was received. He spent the release weekend watching playthroughs and reading reviews.
How was the game received? The enthusiasm from critics was limited. On Metacritic, Choo Choo Charles received a score of 56, and IGN only gave the game 4 out of 10 points. But that was never the target audience Eisenbeisz had in mind.
The developer describes his work as “half meme, half serious.” It was aimed at an audience that could appreciate this mixture. And that’s exactly how Choo Choo Charles resonated with these people.

Fans created a working replica of Choo Choo Charles
Content creators like Markiplier or the German YouTuber HandOfBlood showcased the game, the latter naturally in conductor’s uniform. And the game was well received by players as well. On Steam, it holds a 92% positive recommendation rate.
Eisenbeisz explains: The people who should like the game did, indeed, like it. He describes the reactions from his fans as “phenomenal.” On YouTube, there are numerous comments from his subscribers praising him and the game.
He felt like a bomb had gone off, the developer said in a video six months after release. Fans created mods, songs, their own animations, and even recreated the horror train in real life. Most of it was pretty cool, according to Eisenbeisz. However, some fan works were described as “questionable,” as he says. Apparently, no one is spared from Rule 34, not even a spider train.
The solo developer was able to prove that he is capable of creating a viral hit and hopefully also soothe his parents’ concerns a bit. However, it remains to be seen whether he can generate hype for his next game in the same way as he did for Choo Choo Charles.
What’s next for Choo Choo Charles? For the time being, Eisenbeisz is still busy with Choo Choo Charles: After some minor bug fixes kept him busy at the beginning of 2023, the developer intended to focus on a console port and a content update throughout the year.
In a stream from mid-July 2023, he explained that he is currently working on bringing the spider train to PS4/5 and Xbox Series X|S. Eisenbeisz has not yet committed to a timeframe, but he cautiously aims for the end of the year for the console port.
It will still take a while until his next game, the developer states. He doesn’t rule out a sequel to Choo Choo Charles, but fans will probably have to wait a while for that.
With currently 164 champs, there are not only a lot of playable characters in League of Legends, but also a variety of skins for them. Some champions have as many as 19 skins, offering many ways to give your champs a new look. But what if someone buys them all?
League of Legends earns its money as a Free to Play game mainly through microtransactions in the form of skins or loot boxes, which can contain skins and similar items. Whether new or old champs, every patch brings new skins for the playable heroes.
Owning all skins is a goal that very few players aim for. Monetarily, it is unaffordable for most players and also quite pointless, since one probably does not need 17 skins for a champ, let alone all skins for all champs.
How does one obtain all skins? Most skins can be purchased with RP. This costs, with 1056 skins that can currently be bought in the shop, according to 3DJuegos 1,279,960 RP. You would need to invest €12,400 for that. But only if you buy 124 packages for €100. The ‘cheaper’ packages give you a lower RP value for your money.
These values are only estimates and do not include all skins. There are skins that you can only obtain through mystical essences or various loot boxes. However, you need luck for that. Some skins are only available during certain seasonal times, such as Halloween skins.
What happens if one has all skins? If you really possess all available skins, then there are no more skins available in the ‘Your Shop’, a regular event where you get skins specifically selected for you.
If you then contact Riot, you will have the opportunity to receive one of the following skins:
Rusty Blitzcrank
Pax-Sivir
Pax-Twisted Fate
Urf, the Manatee (A new version of Urfwick can sometimes be purchased with blue essences)
Riot-Singed
Mastery Riven (A 2016 version is occasionally available)
These skins belong to 45 skins that are actually no longer obtainable by players. This also includes skins from the Collectors Edition of the game that was also released physically, or King Rammus, for which you had to play the beta.
Accordingly, it is actually almost impossible to really own all the skins in the game unless you were there from the beginning and managed to snag the rare skins through various events. But that’s not a problem, as most players only want the skins they find good for their champions.
New champions are also released regularly, and the newest one is especially interesting for beginners:
Survival games are becoming increasingly popular and new representatives of the genre are regularly introduced. But which survival games are the most popular on Steam?

Everything you need to know about the survival game ARK: Survival Evolved
What kind of game is this? ARK: Survival Evolved mixes prehistoric creatures, mystical beings, and science fiction. You can build huts from straw and wood or rely on modern technologies and iron structures.
While you will be supported not only by other players but also by various creatures. They can help you with hunting, exploring the map, or farming resources.
Those who dare can challenge boss enemies in PvE mode that unlock special rewards. Alternatively, you can face off against other players and their dinos in PvP if the dangers of the wilderness aren’t enough for you.
How popular is ARK? ARK has consistently had over 40,000 average players since November 2021 and a solid spot among the most popular survival games on Steam. In the past 30 days, the dino adventure was able to boast over 47,000 players and secure the fourth position in the top 5 (via SteamCharts).
The full release of Baldur’s Gate is approaching, but some players have already extensively tested the title in Early Access. They noticed a setting that experienced D&D players might want to disable.
What is this setting? The Karmic Dice essentially allows you to play with loaded dice. This option affects all rolls in the game. It is actually intended to help players who are particularly unfortunate.
Those on a streak of bad luck should roll lower numbers less frequently with the Karmic Dice. However, players advise disabling the preset option as quickly as possible at the start of the game.

Players Warn About Loaded Dice
What was the problem with the Karmic Dice? As a Reddit user reports, he had built a tank for a series of defensive playthroughs in Early Access and quickly reached an armor class of 23.
This should have made it “almost impossible” for most opponents, according to his calculations, to hit him. Instead, the user akdavidxy observed a hit rate of 30 to 40%. He began collecting more data and found that the Karmic Dice seemed to compensate for his armor class.
He received significantly more normal and critical hits than intended. The Reddit user summarizes: With his tank, he took up to 4 times more damage than intended (via 3DJuegos).
According to Larian, this was a bug that should be fixed for the full release (via GameStar).
Why is it still worth checking the options? However, a Reddit user reports “a bunch of other” problems caused by the Karmic Dice, without going into further detail.
Other players point out that this is an option for D&D newcomers. They wish that the setting was not automatically activated or at least much more visible in the menu (via Reddit).
So those who value the “right” D&D feeling, including all frustrations, should first check on the release date of August 3rd whether the Karmic Dice option is checked and disable it if necessary.
Great value was placed on the right feeling in Baldur’s Gate that specialists from film and television were even hired to ensure that everyone involved felt comfortable, especially with the explicit scenes – of which there can be quite a few in Baldur’s Gate:
The new co-op shooter Remnant 2 offers tons of cool guns. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus discovered a crossbow early on, with which he played through the entire game. The weapon was just too good with too many advantages.
What kind of weapon is it? The Crossbow of Sorrow is a handgun and uses primary ammunition. Strictly speaking, it’s a “boss weapon,” although you don’t need to craft it directly with boss loot at McCabe.
You shoot bolts with the crossbow. The magazine only holds 5 shots, but with its special property, you can fire up to 15 shots in a row without needing to reload.
The damage is +7 at an upgrade with a DPS value of 450 (body) or over 800 (vulnerable spots). This makes the weapon by far the strongest weapon I have tested so far.
What the Crossbow of Sorrow can do: The special mod of the weapon is called “Lamentation.” The effect consists of several parts:
You call back fired bolts, which can recharge your magazine and even the reserves (up to 10 shots in the magazine)
returned bolts deal damage to the target and all targets on the way back
for each returned bolt, you heal for 2% of your maximum health
Therefore, the weapon not only deals enormous damage, but also heals you, and with the right items, the mod can be recharged almost immediately after use. This makes the Crossbow of Sorrow ideal against any boss.
The perfect transformation for the weapon is “Silence of the Dead,” which increases damage while aiming continuously. The only downside: the bolts are projectiles that are relatively slow. Against very agile targets, you might have some bigger problems.
Here’s a little gameplay of the weapon – with a hidden secret room in Yaesha:

Remnant 2: Gameplay of the Crossbow of Sorrow and Secret Loot in Yaesha
How to get the Crossbow of Sorrow in Remnant 2
Where can I find the crossbow? You can get the Crossbow of Sorrow basically after one of the first story bosses. In Yaesha, the world of the Pan, you will encounter the boss “Kaeula’s Shadow.”
Tip: The shadow is weak against fire damage, and you should look where red flowers grow on the water. These indicate where you can move without having to wade through the water.
If you defeat the shadow, you will receive the ring “Tear of Kaeula” as a reward, which increases your relic charge by 2. You then need to exchange this at Meidre at the Stained Clearing in the Far Forest.
When speaking with Meidre, it doesn’t matter what you choose in the test. You just need to have the ring. Meidre will then ask you where you got the ring from. If you offer the nymph to give her the jewel, she will give you the crossbow in return. Unfortunately, this does not apply to co-players in your game.
What do I need to consider? In Remnant 2, randomness determines which world you can visit first. For me, it was Yaesha, which is why I found the Crossbow of Sorrow right at the beginning and could upgrade quickly.
If you want the crossbow, it is recommended to choose Yaesha directly as the second world. You can unlock all worlds after your visit to the labyrinth.
Even the big studios release AAA titles that don’t always become major successes. EA experienced this in 2016 with the mech shooter Titanfall 2, which actually did everything better than its predecessor. Currently, you can secure this hidden gem on Steam for €7.50.
What kind of game is Titanfall 2? Titanfall 2 is a first-person shooter set in a distant future. The special thing about it is that you don’t just fight on foot. You have huge mechs that you can throw into battle. The focus in Titanfall 2 is on fast movement.
There is the option to wall-run and double jump, making the battles fast-paced and demanding. The game feels like a modern interpretation of classic arena shooters like Quake or Unreal Tournament, combined with modern virtues from CoD and others.
Titanfall 2 offers, like its predecessor, a multiplayer mode. However, the highlight of the game is the single-player campaign, which combines fast-paced gameplay with an interesting and exciting story. The game is developed by Respawn Entertainment, who released Star Wars: Jedi Survivor this year.
Even the last shooter published by EA had a rough time, and many demanded their money back:

Titanfall 2 is a true highlight of the shooter genre
Despite its financial flop at the time due to the simultaneous release with Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Titanfall 2 remained a hidden gem for shooter fans. On Steam the game still has an impressive 94% positive rating from 149,868 reviews.
WuppyDuppy: The game is very good and deserves more sales, more players, and more attention.
.senex!: One of the absolute best shooter campaigns I have played in a long time!
Reybunny: Titanfall 2 is a true highlight of the shooter genre and an impressive masterpiece of action
The majority of players agree and praise especially the gripping campaign, which is an exciting action spectacle.
How much does Titanfall 2 cost? Until 10.08.2023 you can get Titanfall 2 in its Ultimate Edition for €7.49 on Steam. The edition offers additional skins and unlocked mechs and pilots for the multiplayer mode, along with the game.
With Dawntrail, Final Fantasy XIV will receive a major new expansion in 2024. We will tell you what is included in the MMORPG’s add-on.
Where does the information come from? On July 28, the FanFest 2023 took place in Las Vegas. In a 90-minute presentation, Naoki Yoshida revealed what is next for Final Fantasy XIV. The absolute highlight for many players is likely to be the new expansion Dawntrail.
You can already catch a first glimpse of the add-on in a short teaser:
Start video
Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail – Trailer for the new expansion
What is included in the new expansion? In Dawntrail, players will be transported to the new continent of Tural, with the capital city of Tuliyollal at its center. Visually, the new region seems to be inspired by Mesoamerican and Indonesian cultures.
Content-wise, the new expansion is supposed to represent a kind of “vacation” after the events of Endwalker. Yoshida explains the idea behind Dawntrail as follows: “You have just saved all of Hydaelyn, but somehow the entire universe as well. So we thought we’d give you a little break.”
Thematically, “discovery” is supposed to be at the forefront, with Yoshida emphasizing that “diversity” was one of the focuses during the development of Dawntrail.
When will we go to the new region? Update 7.0, and thus the Dawntrail expansion, is expected to delight fans in the summer of 2024. Whether it is worth diving into the MMORPG beforehand can be read here.
What else has been announced? The MMORPG will receive two new DPS jobs. Rumor has it that this could be the Beastmaster, which has also been requested by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of the series.
With the update for dyeing armor, players will be able to dye each piece of armor in up to two colors. It should also be possible to equip glasses and helmets simultaneously.
Furthermore, Final Fantasy XIV is set to receive some major graphical upgrades that will be introduced in 7.0. Characters will be enhanced with updated textures for skin and hair, and reflective surfaces will be equipped with corresponding textures.
The Banished Vault is a new strategy game on Steam and just the right thing for anyone longing for a ruthless board game adventure for one.
What kind of game is this? The Banished Vault is a hardcore strategy game that sends you on a merciless journey through space.
It was released on July 25, 2023 on Steam and has 87% positive recommendations there. At release, there is a 10% discount until August 1, so The Banished Vault currently costs you €22.49. The strategy game is verified for the Steam Deck and can thus accompany you to the couch or the garden.
You can watch the official trailer for The Banished Vault here.

The Banished Vault – Official Trailer for the Strategy Game with Space Moons
The Incredible Journey in an Interstellar Monastery
What can you expect in The Banished Vault? The Banished Vault is the perfect game to satisfy your desire for an epic board game adventure when you have no players at hand.
The strategy game gives you control over a group of monks in an interstellar gothic monastery. They are the last survivors of a terrible catastrophe, the “Gloom”.
To keep it that way, you must safely guide them through hostile solar systems, manage resources, build outposts, and craft valuable materials to keep your crew alive. It is important that your monks never lose faith, or else it will all be over.
The solar systems your journey takes you through are procedurally generated and filled with challenges and dangers to overcome. The goal is simple: survive long enough to write down your story and relay it to the monks’ homeland.
In the Mood for a Little Math?
How is the game received? To get a better feel for whether The Banished Vault is for you, we have summarized some reviews for you here:
Lucid (recommended): “The Banished Vault says: ‘Hey kid, want to do a little math?’ and then laughs at me when I let my banished get stranded on the ‘Hallowed Planet’ because I had the hubris to think I could write our journey down there.”
Smiles (recommended): “The concept is pretty cool and the graphics are fun. I wish there were a little more lore and some interesting unlocks, but so far I am enjoying it.”
jurgioslakiv (not recommended): “I really wanted to like this game, and I think it’s well made, but it’s not for me. The other reviews that say this is a math game aren’t wrong. While there are some random elements, the ‘right’ way to play is to plan 15 moves ahead, make the necessary calculations for each move, and then execute them.”
The Banished Vault might just be right for you if you want to experience that certain board game feel, can appreciate the special hand-drawn aesthetics and dark atmosphere, and are a little bit masochistic.
If you prefer a somewhat more colorful space adventure, you can look forward to the release of Starfield. The single-player RPG from Bethesda is set to be released on September 6, 2023, but some details are already known:
The zoom factor has been a concern for players of Diablo 4 since its release. A player has revisited the topic, describing how he feels significantly restricted in his field of view – particularly regarding long-range attacks that are a fundamental part of his build.
A player has currently taken up the issue in the Diablo 4 subreddit and is criticizing it.
What is his problem? On Reddit, the user Fictionarious writes on July 26 that he would like to zoom out further while playing Diablo 4. He feels limited in his field of view and regarding his build, especially concerning long-range attacks.
To get the most out of your build, you should definitely activate these settings:

Diablo 4: Immediately activate these 2 settings, otherwise you will miss important equipment values
“I want my build’s effectiveness not to fluctuate so much.”
Especially when Fictionarious moves north and south through the open world, he feels very restricted in his field of view:
Another FoV option on the old scroll wheel that allows more visibility than the two currently available. Particularly so that I can see more than nine feet [about 2.7 m] in front of me when I move north, and more than seven [about 2.1 m] or so when I move south.
[…] You know, since I’ve accumulated those coveted statistic buffs for “damage to distant enemies” and I want my build’s effectiveness to not fluctuate so much when I choose (or am forced to) move south in a game with a fixed camera perspective.
Why is this a problem for him? Especially in battles, it’s important to have a good overview. With long-range attacks from enemies, you often don’t know who is attacking and with what. To see that, you have to get closer to the action in Diablo 4.
Furthermore, Fictionarious thinks it would be a good idea to temporarily hide the ability bar, as it also disturbs him in his field of view. He uses the buff “damage to distant enemies” and wishes that the effectiveness of his build would not fluctuate due to the limited field of view.
“The ‘horse camera’ would be perfect for normal gameplay.”
How does the community react? The user ohlawdhecodin notes in a comment that players with a widescreen monitor in 21:9 format have an advantage. “I’m not saying it’s unfair because it’s a cool thing. But the game already allows you to see ‘more’ when you have a larger screen. I see no reason why we should be restricted to the current zoom setting.” (via Reddit). For this, he receives almost 300 upvotes.
TobiasTX adds: “And on the horse, it even zooms out. The ‘horse camera’ would be perfect for normal gameplay.” (via Reddit). uwotm8_8 jokes: “They want you to see your characters up close so you’ll buy cosmetics.”
The user Mutex70 adds that many design decisions regarding Diablo 4 make more sense, “when viewed in the context of ‘we want to make more money’.”
The zoom factor was also a topic in yesterday’s Campfire Chat. The question of whether something will change about the zoom could not be answered in this round. However, it may be picked up again in upcoming streams.
However, with Patch 1.1.1, some changes and improvements are coming our way:
Riot Games regularly revises its champions in League of Legends. This happens with champions that are rarely played or whose roles and abilities do not function as Riot wants. Unfortunately, this also affects players who main only these champions.
The ultimate buffs to Ivern still do not satisfy everyone, as a Challenger Ivern player now describes on Reddit.
Start video
The Life of Faker – Why He is a Living Legend
Not a single change was good
In his Reddit post, garbocan, a Challenger Ivern OTP, complains about the changes. OTP stands for One Trick Pony and describes players who play only one champion. He describes himself as Ivern’s biggest fan.
After 2 months and over 350 matches with the “new” Ivern, his opinion on the update is very negative. Although Riot has buffed 3 of his abilities, they seem to have removed his counterplay.
He describes the updates to Ivern as catastrophic failure that should be reversed. He details why he does not find the changes to his W, E, and R good.
What does he find so bad? It’s not just about the changes for Ivern players, but also the new problems when playing against Ivern.
W ability:
Tactical utility has been removed as bushes disappear when the own team is not inside
While bushes enhance auto-attacks, they lead to mindless spamming of the ability due to the low cooldown
The original idea behind the bushes is no longer present
E ability:
Previously, Ivern was punished if he used the shield too early
Now, opponents must endure longer as the shield reactivates
This new feature still does not change Ivern’s preference for melee champions, as the explosion is triggered in close combat
R ability
Daisy should be buffed so players have to care less about her
Due to the new strength, Ivern’s focus shifts to his R ability, making control even more important than before
garbocan generally questions why it is bad to have to micro-manage Daisy
Overall, it seems to particularly annoy him that Ivern became stronger, but at the cost of tactical options both on his side and on the opponent’s side.
Whether Riot will change anything or even reverse the updates is questionable, as Ivern’s unusual passive ability to share buffs with his mates now applies to every jungler.
In Destiny 2 there are exotic weapons that offer hidden benefits in addition to their known properties. Understanding these secret perks can enrich your gaming experience in new ways and help you defeat opponents more effectively. In this article, we present 16 of these exotic weapons that have one or more such secrets.
Not all exotic benefits are immediately apparent: Currently, there are 110 exotic weapons in Destiny 2. However, when inspected, their full capabilities are not always evident at first glance.
It is precisely the hidden advantages that make certain exotic weapons so exciting that it is worth knowing and utilizing these secret bonuses or perks to dominate opponents in combat. Or perhaps just to show off a little.
Sometimes there are simple advantages that you notice but are not mentioned.
Or there are stat bonuses that you can only notice but not read about.
Other benefits are only discovered after playing with the exotic weapon for a long time.
Just like the Guardian Shadow. He has thoroughly examined the exotics in Destiny 2 in one of his latest videos and uncovered their secret abilities. MeinMMO shows you the best secrets he found in his discoveries.

These exotic weapons have hidden abilities
[toc]
Thunderlord – Machine Gun
The Thunderlord with ornament
The “Thunderlord” is an exotic machine gun that deals arc damage. Precision hits with this weapon create stunning lightning from above. It is also strong against overload champions.
This is the secret advantage of the exotic weapon: Those who use the “Thunderlord” also have a very pleasant hidden advantage. This results in increased stability and the reticle hardly jumps around anymore.
Zerberus +1 – auto rifle
Zerberus +1 – Auto rifle
The Auto rifle “Zerberus+1” fires unpredictable bullets from four barrels simultaneously. It also looks as if the weapon was haphazardly assembled from dozens of different firearms. And in one of the four barrels, a secret has also sneaked in.
This is the secret advantage of the exotic weapon: The projectiles of the auto rifle become stronger the greater the distance to the target. The behavior of the weapon is exactly the opposite. Normally, weapons gradually lose damage as the distance to the target increases.
Up to a distance of 20 meters, the damage continuously increases.
From 20 meters to 50 meters distance, the damage remains constant.
As the target moves further away, the damage will ultimately decrease.
However, Zerberus+1 is still not a convincing long-range weapon. The immense dispersion can be compensated for with the Exotic Catalyst, but not at such large distances.
Bad JuJu – Pulse Rifle
“Bad JuJu” or in English “Bad Karma”
The pulse rifle “Bad Karma” once had its own exotic mission in Destiny 2 in a hidden ascendant realm on the then still intact Leviathan of Calus.
Its special exotic property is that kills reload the magazine, increase the damage temporarily, and grant super energy depending on the strength of the perk “Curse of Rain”. But did you know that this weapon can also create explosions?
This is the secret advantage of the exotic weapon: The unmentioned advantage of this weapon deals immense damage but is also extremely strange.
To trigger it, you need to get exactly 146 kills with the weapon in a row. Without dying and without reloading. If you succeed, it will create a considerable and unique explosion to blow your enemies into the air.
Skyburner’s Oath – Scout Rifle
The Skyburner’s Oath is a Cabal ball rifle
The “Skyburner’s Oath” is a Cabal ball rifle. The weapon fires exploding balls.
If you aim, you have a slowly firing, precise weapon with explosive bullets.
Shooting from the hip turns the weapon into a lightly targeting fireball shooter.
This is the secret advantage of the exotic weapon: What is not revealed in the weapon description is that both modes have nearly unlimited range. Even if you are hundreds of meters away from the target, the damage hits without loss of damage.
The Navigator – Trace Rifle
“The Navigator” a trace rifle from the dungeon “Depths of Darkness”
If you only know the obvious details, you might consider the weapon mediocre. However, “The Navigator” has two hidden advantages that make it something special.
This is the secret advantage of the exotic weapon: The first advantage ensures that once you activate the exotic perk on the weapon to gain damage resistance, you receive free ammunition.
When the perk “Protective Armor” is activated, 5 shots are generated for you out of nowhere and automatically go directly into the magazine.
The second hidden perk is then activated when you have landed 20 hits on an enemy. Then the weapon automatically protects its bearer with “Woven Armor”.
Tender’s Grasp – Fusion Rifle
Tender’s Grasp – Fusion Rifle
“Tender’s Grasp” is a seasonal weapon from the Pirate Season 18.
Shooting from the hip fires a wide horizontal spread salvo.
With precision kills using this weapon, there is a chance to create ionic traces. Powerful enemies and hostile guardians also always produce ionic traces.
This is the secret advantage of the exotic weapon: The advantage here is the “wide horizontal spread”. Instead of 9, the weapon with the activated perk fires a total of 16 individual bolts. However, if you focus on firing from the hip in this mode, you also benefit from 20% more damage than with shots through the sight.
On the next page, you can read about the hidden secrets of the pulse rifle “Perfected Outbreak”.

It’s almost exactly 10 years since Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn was released on PC and PlayStation 3. To this day, the game is still celebrating its successes. Now the successful MMORPG from Square Enix is finally coming to Xbox Series X/S.
What was announced? Yesterday, on July 28, 2023, the FFXIV Fan Fest took place again. Alongside Dawntrail, the next expansion for Final Fantasy 14, a new console version of the MMORPG was also announced. Head of Xbox Phil Spencer even took the stage with Yoshi-P. The former announced an Xbox version back in 2019.
When will the Xbox version be released? The version for Xbox Series S/X is set to be released in Spring 2024. An open beta test is planned to take place with Patch 6.5 in September this year. The character and progress made in the game are also expected to carry over to the full Xbox version in Spring.
Whether it’s still worth getting into the game can be seen here:
Phil Spencer announces more collaboration with Square Enix
What other information is available about the Xbox version? Some information about the technology of the new version has also been revealed. The Xbox version is expected to offer 4K support and faster loading times. Additionally, Xbox players will be able to play the new expansion directly in the summer. As usual, crossplay between all versions is also expected to be possible.
