In Remnant 2 has a lot of archetypes that you can equip as classes and that give you new skills and options. One of these archetypes is the Engineer, which is difficult to find. How to unlock it is shown here:
How to unlock the Engineer in Remnant 2? To unlock the second archetype Engineer in Remnant 2, you need to find the alien device. You can then exchange the item with Wallace at Station 13. But the item cannot just be found while exploring.
What can the Engineer do? The Engineer provides you with a turret, a flamethrower, and everything related to heavy weapons.
Where to find the alien device? You need to be far enough in the story of Remnant 2 to travel to N’erud. The area is filled with dense fog through which you can hardly see. When you enter the fog, you continuously take damage and die if you stay there too long.
But that’s exactly where we need to go for the item. Specifically, to the Vault of Aeons. At the edge of the map within the fog, you can find the item. If you start at the spawn point, you need to walk along the edge of the map without being in the fog.
The item is located in a small spot outside the cliff. While searching, you will find a path with a cliff on the left and sharp stones on the right. Behind you is a spaceship. Between the cliff and the stones, you need to go in and find a platform slightly outside the map.
You will vomit upon entering the fog and slowly take damage, but that’s not a problem; you just need to grab the items quickly before you die.
Jump onto the small, lower platform outside the map
There you will find a technician’s armor
On the left, you can drop down again and then find the alien device
You will die here, but upon respawn, you will have both items in your inventory
Once you have found the item, you can buy the engram “Drzyr’s Dial Caliper” from Wallace at Station 13. This additionally costs 10 Luminien Crystals and 1000 Scrap Metal. Then you will have unlocked the additional archetype “Engineer”.

In Remnant 2 gibt es eine besondere Kiste in Zimmer von Ford, doch diese ist verschlossen. Wir zeigen euch, wie ihr sie öffnen könnt und was drin steckt.
Where do I find the chest? Um die Kiste finden zu können, müsst ihr vorerst das Tutorial abgeschlossen haben. Nachdem ihr nun in Station 13 angekommen seid, könnt ihr Zugriff auf die Truhe bekommen. Geht dazu in den Raum, indem Ford und Clementine einen Streit hatten. Rechts vom Eingang befindet sich dann eine große, leuchtende Truhe, die mit einem Zahlenschloss versehen ist.
So sieht die Kiste von Ford ausHere you can find the chest
How do I open the chest? Um die Kiste zu öffnen, müsst ihr euch die Taschenlampe, die euch Ford bei eurer ersten Mission gegeben hat, genauer anschauen. Remnant 2 steckt voller Geheimnisse und die Lösung ist meist vor eurer Nase. Geht in euer Menü und öffnet euer Inventar. Inspiziert nun die Lampe und schaut auf die Unterseite.
Alle Items in eurem Inventar können ein Schlüssel
Dort findet ihr den Code 0415, der das Schloss von Fords Kiste öffnen kann.
What is in the chest? In Fords Kiste steckt ein Schlüssel, der eine Tür zu einem Frachtraum aufschließen soll.
Where do I find the cargo area? Der Frachtraum befindet sich zum Glück nicht weit von Station 13. Begebt euch raus ins Freie und geht an Dwell, dem Reliktfragmenthändler vorbei. Spaziert nun gerade raus an den Betonabgrenzungen entlang bis ihr an einen offenen Zaun ankommt und folgt dem Weg entlang der Container bis ihr in einen kaputten Frachter kommt.

Im Frachter angelangt, steht ihr bald vor einer verrosteten Tür. Diese lässt sich mit euerem neuen Schlüssel öffnen. Dort angekommen, wartet auf euch die MP60-R Maschinenpistole auf dem Tisch. Sollte euch eure Handfeuerwaffe nicht ausreichen, könnt ihr mit dieser neuen Waffe eure Gegner schneller in die Knie zwingen.
On Reddit, numerous communities and even large Twitch streamers have been battling for pixels since July 20, 2023. We at MeinMMO explain what r/place is all about.
Note: This article was originally published on July 25, 2023, and we updated it on July 26.
What is r/place? It is a huge community project hosted by Reddit, the homepage of the internet. The name refers to the subreddit where the project takes place; alternatively, it is simply referred to as “Place”.
r/place starts as a blank canvas of 1,000 × 1,000 pixels. Reddit users can then place a single colored pixel on this canvas. They must then wait a few minutes before they can color the next square. Together, users create impressive works of art.
Even Twitch streamers like Félix “xQc” Lengyel are participating in the event.

The Unique Appeal of r/place
What is special about r/place? Countless people come together for this project to immortalize themselves on the canvas. However, space in r/place is fiercely contested.
Time and again, communities try to compete for space and overwrite each other’s artworks. This leads to epic battles between the groups.
In other cases, communities band together into alliances. They promise not to attack each other’s works and even defend one another. You can see a timelapse of the entire event here:

What is behind r/place? It all started on April 1, 2017. Initially, r/place was a kind of April Fool’s joke by the Reddit admins. However, individual communities quickly began to organize themselves and deliberately embellish certain sections.
By the end of the experiment on April 3, 2017, over 1 million Reddit users had participated and placed approximately 15 million tiles in total.
On April 1, 2022, r/place surprisingly returned. This time, the event lasted a full 5 days.
How r/place 2023 Went
How long will r/place last? This year’s r/place did not start as usual on April 1 but after several delays on July 20. The event ended in the early hours of July 26, our time. As in previous editions, users could only place white squares instead of colorful pixels to return the canvas to its original state.
When will r/place 2024 take place? It is not yet clear whether there will be another edition of r/rplace in 2024. Originally, the event was designed to take place only every 5 years so that internet culture can change in the meantime and new memes can emerge to fill the canvas.
Some users suspect that the event was brought back earlier in 2023 to distract from the bad mood. If r/place returns in 2024, it will probably start again on the usual date of April 1.
How do Twitch streamers fit in? r/place is particularly interesting for streamers because they can work live with their fans on artworks and immortalize themselves on the canvas.
If a content creator manages to successfully assert themselves against another community, it is a kind of recognition: I am the cooler streamer because my fans put in more effort.
Many new horror games on Steam draw inspiration from Resident Evil or games like Outlast, where you must survive without resistance. However, a new Steam game reminds of the not-so-old Scorn and aims to impress with puzzles and an unusual atmosphere.
What kind of game is this? In Unholy you actually live peacefully with your child. But one day that changes when your child is kidnapped and sacrificed by a cult. You were once part of this cult and this ritual is the key to their world domination.
As a mother, you now have to try to save your child’s soul. For this, you puzzle through both reality and a nightmarish institution full of bizarre opponents. The highlight, however, is the unusual atmosphere reminiscent of Silent Hill.
If you enjoy an atmospheric world in other genres as well, then perhaps the co-op shooter Remnant 2 is something for you.
You can see a trailer for Unholy here:
Start video
Unholy – Trailer for the atmospheric horror game
“The oppressive horror atmosphere is almost perfect”
How does Unholy play? In the first-person perspective, you must explore and solve various puzzles. You need to figure out codes for locks or rotate objects to gain secret information.
In doing so, you absorb the mysteriously unusual atmosphere and its story. Visually, the game mixes classic Gothic horror aesthetics with Lovecraftian influences. For a small indie game, a great audiovisual experience has been created.
But similar to Scorn, the gameplay and combat leave something to be desired. The Steam reviews also criticize the gameplay but praise the fantastic atmosphere.
Májkül: Terrible stealth segments, a clichéd story, and crazy character design, but the oppressive horror atmosphere is almost perfect.
Failmore: Although the gameplay and combat are buggy, I recommend the game for its fantastic art design, sound quality, and story.
kopierkatze: Unholy was a real surprise for me. I had fun from start to finish. The graphics are really good, the atmosphere and sound work hand in hand to draw you in.
If you expect good gameplay, you might want to steer clear of the game. But if you want to be captivated by a dense and dark atmosphere, then Unholy is worth every glance, as both positive and negative reviews agree and praise the audiovisual experience.

The endgame of Diablo 4 lures with the nightmare dungeons, which are more difficult versions of the normal dungeons in the game. A player found the content of the action RPG not so “action-packed”, so he compiled statistics on how much action is really in the dungeons.
How did the player calculate this? The reddit user Ohh_Yeah explains in a post on Reddit how he calculated the numbers:
He used the recording program OBS and completed the nightmare dungeons on tier 5-15 once each, totaling ten runs.
After the run, he stopped the time he spent running and fighting and calculated the respective percentage.
He calculated the fighting time by taking the moment when his brain switched from “running” to “fighting” as the starting point. Small mobs he ran past were not included in the statistics.
Diablo 4 features huge bosses like an MMO – And they drop really good loot
What numbers has he found? The user was surprised to find that he only spent 43% of the time fighting, including preparation time. In contrast, he spent 57% of the time running around.
His worst run had only 21% fighting time, while in his best run, he spent about 65% fighting. In the first case, he unfortunately had to run back twice because he did not reach the objectives of his quest to progress.
He had only a few dungeons with a boss at the end, but all bosses made up a maximum of 10% of the fighting time. On average, it was even only 5%.
How do other fans perceive these numbers? The creator of the statistics feels that the low fighting time feels “bad” to him. Many agree with him, and a user even calls Diablo 4 a “non-action RPG”. And the blame lies with the nightmare dungeons, at least the lower levels.
We have gathered some opinions that illustrate that players feel a lack of fast-paced action:
iiTryhard: “It’s no fun to overlook a prisoner that you have to free, and then have to run back through 10 rooms that you’ve already cleared. If this is the endgame, then playing is pointless for me.”
Responsible-War-9389: “Now consider inventory management, time in town, and loading screens.”
ManlyPoop: “Nightmare dungeons define the endgame. You need them to progress, and they determine the replay value of the endgame. Right now, they are objectively boring.”
Users do not enjoy overlooking quest objectives and therefore running back into rooms they have already cleared. The main problem for many is the backtracking, which costs an enormous amount of time and slows down the game.
Additionally, other classes are at a disadvantage. The buzzsaw hunter is among the best classes in Season 1. For example, a necromancer would not be able to complete the nightmare dungeon as quickly because he is even slower.
Healers in World of Warcraft often have a hard time. But currently, it is worse than it has been for a long time – at least that’s what many healers find.
That there are mainly damage dealers in World of Warcraft like sand at the sea is an old hat. Tanks and healers, on the other hand, are often sought after for a long time – and the problem seems to have only gotten bigger. Because dungeon groups are searching longer and longer for a healer who can take them through the instance. But the healers are no longer interested. The current season of Dragonflight has only intensified the problem.
What is the problem of healers? Healers have, especially in MMORPGs and in World of Warcraft specifically, primarily one thing: blame. And that always. It doesn’t matter if the damage dealer parked in the fire area for twenty seconds or if the tank turns his back to the boss and wonders why the health bar gets wiped out.
If someone dies, then it is the healer’s fault – at least that is often the common view in random groups. Especially in high ‘Mythic+’ dungeons, this can be very frustrating for healers. Because if you stand in an area in a ‘Mythic+20’ where you shouldn’t be, you are usually dead so quickly that the healer can’t prevent it.
The truth is that players are usually to blame for their deaths when they don’t play mechanics correctly – but still, the healer is often assigned the blame. So, boopkmb writes in a post titled “Rant – Where are the healers?” on Reddit:
I need to vent a bit, because I was just in one of the most toxic dungeons this season.
I am a healer main. I have a rating of 2,600 on my Holy Paladin and 2,800 on my Restoration Shaman. I am currently working on 2,500 on all healers. Normally, I do 20 to 23 dungeons, sometimes only 16s when I want to fill my weekly chest, because I have infinite Aspect Badges anyway. Regardless, I’ve done hundreds of dungeons this season.
It’s easy to understand why no one wants to heal this season. When every mechanic (especially on “Tyrannical”) one-shots people standing in them, dungeons become increasingly frustrating. Combine that with people who don’t want (or can’t) learn mechanics, and you just don’t want to heal anymore.
He then reports about a run in the dungeon Depths of the Abyss, where mechanics were not played correctly at the final boss, and the whole group blamed him for not healing better.
He concludes the post with the summary:
No need to mention this, but relentless mechanics + the inability or unwillingness of people to learn these mechanics lead to healers not wanting to heal anymore.
Boopkmb receives a lot of agreement from the community, especially from other healers.
What solutions are there? In the post, the user firewolf397 has a good idea on how to take some pressure off the healers. The problem is often that DPS players think the healer made the mistake while they themselves were standing in some deadly mechanic. His idea: As in Final Fantasy, simply give DPS debuffs when they fail a mechanic:
I believe Final Fantasy XIV has the right idea for tough content. Tanks are simply wiped with 1000 million damage when they make mistakes, and DPS get a non-removable debuff that lowers their DPS to nonexistent levels, even if they survive the hit and don’t solve the mechanic correctly.
You have to be insane to blame the healer when it’s not their fault because there are clear identifiers of who has failed. Debuffs that reduce damage for failed mechanics would, I believe, be a great motivator for people to play mechanics correctly.
There is a lot of support for this idea:
Suddenly, all DPS would play the mechanics perfectly.
Are you healers in WoW and currently no longer interested in groups with unknown people? Or are you indifferent and able to handle such situations?

In Diablo 4, a player has selected 3 skills for their level build that make them a powerful killing machine. We will show you which skills these are and how powerful this build actually is.
In this, the user summons a continuous beam of fire on their enemies while simultaneously throwing some “Frozen Balls” at them and igniting the ground. The enemies have hardly any chance and perish in an inferno.

How does this build work? Anyone wondering how KaisCloud can summon a continuous beam of fire needs to look at their weapon. The Reddit user uses a wand for their attacks. This allows them to continuously summon the skill “Flame Death.”
Here we embed a preview of this level build:

Additionally, KaisCloud has found that in this combination, you can summon the skills “Firewall” and “Frozen Balls” more often and thus overwhelm your enemies with attacks. According to the Reddit user, this build has a significant advantage especially because:
The biggest advantage is that the trigger of the frozen balls moves to a random target, then stops and begins to explode, while firewalls appear on the target. You can also see that it costs almost no mana to constantly spam the ability with regeneration and janky gear.
What do the players say? Players find the build cool and show it with 1,500 upvotes (as of July 26, 10:40 AM), despite many complaining about how Blizzard has ruined the wizard. The level build may be good, but what good is it if the class gets wiped out by monsters at higher world levels.
However, many still enjoy the wizard if they can keep the mana costs under control, as creepy_doll writes: ‘The Sorc gameplay is fun when you can control mana. The numbers are just not there, but that’s only a problem at endgame. Furthermore, it’s annoying when you can’t control mana and are forced to adhere to pretty strict conditions.’
What do you think of the wizard? Do you still play the class at all? Let us know in the comments!
With Tarisland comes a new MMORPG (PC, Mobile) from the gaming giant Tencent. It visually resembles WoW and its classes strongly, but focuses on fewer abilities and is Free2Play. It is set to release not only in China but also in the West. The developers have now commented on the topic of Genderlock.
What does Tarisland offer? Basically, it offers everything a typical theme park fan desires:
It features a Western fantasy setting with colorful graphics that resemble the style of WoW somewhat.
There is a choice of classes including Warrior, Paladin, Mage, Hunter, Priest, Bard, and a type of Demon Hunter with two glaives.
The combat system utilizes tab-targeting, but you only have 8 abilities that can be modified. Each class gets trees with 40 to 81 talents.
In PvE, you follow a story told through quests. In the mid- and endgame, there are dungeons and raids for 10 players.
The PvP is said to take place in arenas and battlegrounds and be “balanced”. PvE fans should not be affected by PvP, according to the FAQ.
This is all financed through a shop, which is supposed to be completely free of Pay2Win elements.
Although it is being released for mobile, there will be no autoplay and no automatic moving to quests.
However, the MMORPG received somewhat negative attention for its Genderlock. Priests can only be played by female characters, while Warriors can only be played by male characters. However, the developers seem to be reconsidering this.
Here you can watch the trailer for the Closed Beta:
Start video
The new MMORPG Tarisland presents itself in the trailer, starts into closed beta – Here’s how you participate
Developers are looking at Genderlock, do not want to be a WoW clone
What do the developers say? In response to the inquiry about whether the Genderlock could be lifted, the developers replied on Discord:
Even though our original intention was to offer a larger selection of classes with limited development resources, we did not fully consider all needs. Due to the high development effort, the team will carefully review this demand and decide based on current progress and workload how player needs can be met.
This sounds like they are at least seriously considering the topic. However, it was not promised that the restriction would be completely lifted.
However, the developers also commented on further requests. Players wish for an optical adjustment of their character with the change of equipment. This will not be able to be “quickly adjusted”, but they want to bring more visual variety to the game.
Is the game worth it? Tarisland has left a positive impression with its tutorial. There, you are directly thrown into a raid group with NPCs and a ready check. Also, the later dungeons looked very good.
The combat system feels dynamic, as you can move freely while using abilities, even though it is tab-targeting. I myself was able to play for about 5 hours in the beta and was pleasantly surprised, especially for a mobile MMORPG: Tarisland looks so good that it can also convince us.
A release in the West is definitely planned, but the MMORPG is still in an early stage of development, and adjustments will still be made until release.
What do you think of Tarisland? Does the game appeal to you? Or are you waiting for a completely different title – and if so, which one?

League of Legends rarely releases new modes, and there are actually no new “fun modes” anymore. But now a new mode has appeared in the form of Arena. Why I find the new mode so good, and even better than a simple fun mode, you will find out here.
Those who have only joined LoL in the last few years might not know all the creative modes that Riot offered us for a short time. In Doombots of Doom, you could fight against incredibly strong bots with unfair abilities in a team. In Dark Star: Singularity, all players had to somehow catapult themselves into a black hole as Thresh and be the last one standing.
However, in recent years, it has been rather quiet regarding new modes. We received a rotation of One for All, Urf, and Ultimate Spellbook. Nexus Blitz was also quite fun, but that was already 3 years ago. However, last week Riot finally brought us a new mode, and it is so much more than the previously mentioned ones.
What is the new mode about? The mode is a 2v2v2v. You fight against a different team in each round. Between the rounds, there is money to buy items, or you can choose random augments that can change the gameplay.
In this mode, there are no minions, no lanes, but arenas with different walls or random factors in the arenas, such as a Lux that attacks people with her ultimate from the center. The fights in the arena are never long, as after a certain time a circle closes that deals damage outside of the area, like in a Battle Royale.
Why do I find the mode so great? This is mainly due to the augments. These offer interesting mechanics that can change the playstyle, in addition to simple stat improvements or dragon souls. One augment allows you to deal damage to the opponent when you heal. Therefore, you can use Master Yi’s W to deal damage.
The chaos and the unpredictable possibilities are what excite me the most. When you suddenly get an augment that can make an unassuming champion strong, that’s when the most fun begins for me.
The second reason is the opportunity for champions that are not played in the normal game to shine in Arena. Combos that only work in 2v2 become important here. Taric, for example, is one of the strongest champions in the mode. A meta independent of the main game emerges, which will need to be maintained in the future.
Of course, balancing is also an issue here, and in the long run, Riot will have to address this, as many champions are simply too strong, but the augmentations offer a lot of potential for “hidden gems” that suddenly turn out to be stronger than expected.
One criticism, however, is the ranking system where you rise. Each match gives or removes points from your rank. At certain point milestones, your rank increases. However, this causes many players not to experiment with champion combinations but to only use the “overpowered” combos.
A simple division into a ranked and standard match would already solve the problem. But as in all modes, Riot must maintain the mode with patches, otherwise, it will eventually die like Dominion or Twisted Treeline.
What do you think of the new mode? Do you like it, or would you rather stick to classic LoL? Let us know in the comments.
With the new mode, a new champ has also appeared, but not where Riot wants him to be played:
Do you want to help pretty pets in World of Warcraft and the war-torn people of Ukraine? A special package makes this possible.
In the past, Blizzard has occasionally entered into special collaborations in the event of disasters. Therefore, it is only natural that World of Warcraft is also launching such an offer in the case of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. For nearly a month, you can purchase a special pet package for 20 euros. With the purchase, you support an aid organization that provides humanitarian assistance in Ukraine.
What kind of organization is this?BlueCheck Ukraine was co-founded by actor and activist Liev Schreiber and sees itself as a collective of various experts in the field of humanitarian crisis response.
Specifically, it states:
The mission is to quickly identify, vet, and support Ukrainian grassroots organizations that are doing vital life-saving and humanitarian work on the ground. The organization provides urgent financial assistance to partners who provide medical care and rebuild damaged healthcare facilities, care for orphans and children with special needs and evacuate them, provide food, water, and shelter for people displaced from their homes, assist elderly citizens, and respond to many of the other urgent needs of the war-affected Ukrainian population.
More about this is revealed in their own video:
https://youtu.be/S78TMdXlH2w
What are these pets? The first pet is Sonni, a small Golden Retriever with (so far) a unique model. Sonni is quite lively, likes to chase its own tail, or take a nap if you stay in one place too long.
The second pet, Flurky, is only available in WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Classic. It is a blue-yellow Murloc holding a sunflower (the national flower of Ukraine). The little Murloc leaves a sea of colorful flowers on the ground with every step it takes.
How much of the money goes to the organizations? If you purchase the pet package between July 25 and August 29, the entire purchase amount – minus taxes – goes to BlueCheck Ukraine.
Can you still get the pets later? Whether the pets will be available again in the shop at a later date is not entirely clear – but it is conceivable. However, those who want to help a good cause and people in need while also looking for a loyal companion in WoW and WoW Classic should consider buying now.
Will you get the pets?

Remnant 2 is like its predecessor a co-op shooter that you can play with your friends. Despite its genre, it is not easy to meet up with your comrades for a round. We show you how you can invite your friends on any platform.
Update, 26.07: For the release of Remnant 2, the developers have now activated the friends list for PS5 players, but you still cannot invite friends. We will keep you updated as soon as there are any news.
How do I invite friends on PS5? Players on the PS5 will have a tough time, as fans have found that an important option is missing in the game if you played the game in early access and want to specifically invite your friends.
Even the developers are aware of this and are working to fix the issue as soon as possible. (via remnantgame.com)
Despite this, you can temporarily join random players after you have completed the tutorial. Now interact with the world stone and activate the “Join Game” option.
Touch the world stoneNow you have the choice
Now you will see various active worlds and the option for a quick game. This is how you can join other players on PS5.
If there is a fix, we will inform you.
How do I invite friends on Xbox and PC? To invite players on Xbox and PC, you need to complete the tutorial just like on PS5 first. Now you can open your settings and access your friends list under “System”.
Now select the friends with whom you want to play and solve puzzles and invite them. Up to 2 players can join you in a round.

Is there crossplay? At release, there will be no crossplay to fight monsters with other platforms. The developers have not provided any information regarding this either. However, it may be possible that such a feature could be implemented in the near future. For now, you will have to be content with your own platform.
In Pokémon GO movement is part of the game principle. Those who walk a lot encounter many different pocket monsters along the way, and they can also receive rewards like balls or hatch Pokémon eggs. A “Pokémon GO” trainer recently impressed on Reddit with a screenshot showing how many kilometers he walked during working hours.
A Pokémon trainer named “Chandler107” showed in a post on Reddit that he walked an impressive 102.3 kilometers within a week and took over 150,000 steps. Chandler107 claims to work in a warehouse – a stressful job where employees walk a lot.
To achieve the impressive weekly result, he only needed four workdays and the activated feature Adventure Sync, which allows you to collect rewards and hatch eggs without actively holding your smartphone in hand.

When asked about the rewards for his impressive performance, the trainer replied: “I probably got a few balls,” and added, “Also, two eggs. One was a fantastic five-kilometer egg.”
With this, Chandler107 has a significant advantage over players who have to find time in their leisure activities to walk such distances and can collect rewards without having to restructure his day.
When asked how many Riolu eggs the trainer had already hatched, Chandler said: “A whole bunch,” while transferring duplicates.

A recorded route is supposed to help other trainers find nice paths for a walk – but some players are currently still dissatisfied with the feature.
It is no secret that the new Twitch rival Kick wants to secure one of the biggest German streamers, Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris (35). He has now mentioned specific figures regarding how much the platform has offered him for a switch.
What is the situation with Kick? The new streaming platform aims to compete with Twitch and is actively poaching streamers. Already, two of the biggest names from the English-speaking world have switched: Félix “xQc” Lengyel and Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa.
But Kick is also on the hunt for streamers in Germany. Already in March 2023, MontanaBlack reported a million offer, which he declined. However, Kick did not give up easily, as the 35-year-old reported in a recent stream about a second offer and mentioned specific figures for the first time.
With that money, MontanaBlack could surely have given his mods a raise:

Kick offered MontanaBlack a four-figure hourly wage
How much money should MontanaBlack receive? The Twitch streamer reports that he has received a verbal offer for a switch. While he can’t remember the exact amount, he stated: “It must have been between 13 and 14 million euros for a period of 2 years.”
However, that was not all, as MontanaBlack just revealed, there was a second offer. This time, Kick reportedly offered to pay him per hour instead of a flat sum: the 35-year-old was said to be worth 5,000 € per hour to the platform.
What does the streamer criticize? In addition to MontanaBlack, other content creators have publicly turned down offers from Kick. However, critics suspect that some may not have been completely honest. The accusation: Streamers would mention inflated sums to profile themselves as having rejected so much money from the evil Kick.
MontanaBlack holds little of this; he finds it “unsympathetic.”
I find one thing in the situation just really annoying: profiling in public by saying “I rejected such and such a fat offer” to gain sympathy points from the community.
For him personally, it is of course a different matter: he doesn’t mention his rejected deals to gain sympathy points; he already has that.
While MontanaBlack was mainly concerned about his good reputation, another streamer thought primarily about his community when he turned down a million deal. You can read here how he fared with his decision:
Many MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV are increasingly introducing solo content so that players can enjoy the titles on their own. A single-player game on Steam is now taking the wrong approach and trying to mimic an MMORPG from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
Which game is it? We are talking about Erenshor, which is set to be released in 2024 for PC via Steam. The game is described as a single-player experience that draws on MMORPGs from the past. Thus, it differs from classic MMOs that offer separate single-player content.
The title cannot be played with other players, but it has many features from classic MMORPGs. This includes:
Monster hunting
Completing quests
multiple character slots
a shared bank
login screen
The open world is said to offer unique areas that can be approached at one’s own pace. The regions are dotted with cities, dungeons, forests, caves, and much more.
In a video, developer Brian Burgee from Burgee Media presents what he has been working on for the past four months:
Start video
Erenshor – The Steam game presents itself in the trailer
At first glance, the title looks like an MMORPG. But looking behind the facade, we find that it is a pure single-player game. Although numerous players roam the environment, they are merely simulations.
The NPCs behave just like real players would. For example, they can send us group requests to take down a boss together.
It goes even further: It is possible for us to create a guild and have NPCs join it. We can earn the favor of the NPCs, for example, by killing other NPCs that the guild member does not get along with.
It is indeed possible to kill every NPC and eliminate entire towns. Don’t worry, we won’t miss any quests because every NPC can respawn. However, they won’t be very pleased with us anymore.
So why not a proper MMORPG? Brian Burgee dedicates the title to all players who have too little time for a real MMORPG and can no longer adhere to fixed schedules for raiding. Many of you indicated in a survey that you usually play MMORPGs alone instead of in groups.
With Erenshor, players who prefer to play alone can once again immerse themselves in the world of an MMORPG without being dependent on others.
Furthermore, there will be no transactions, as is often the case in free MMORPGs.
Many guardians have not hesitated long and already made their armor shine in Destiny 2. However, the free Solstice event is not over yet and is only entering its second week. MeinMMO reveals what else awaits you this week in the loot shooter.
This week: The story in Destiny 2 has grown quiet. Ahsa, the brand new NPC, is currently sleeping deep in the methane sea under the Arcology on Titan. Guardians can currently take it easy and just do what they want.
Some are completing a few triumphs or titles, finishing their collection, leveling up catalysts, or hunting for missing exotics.
Story-loving guardians are listening to the veil-related lore texts to Lightfall in the containment on Neomuna to learn more about this object.
Others have attended the campfire party despite the complaints about the event and continue to make their armor shine until the end of the Solstice event on August 8.
And there are also guardians who have put fishing from Season 21 on hold and are using the time for a bit of Destiny holiday. A break from the hard grind and the Destiny trott is certainly good.
No matter what activity the guardians choose, the weekly reset in Destiny 2 offers a new week and thus brings further opportunities to secure a few chests in the world of the loot shooter. We will tell you what awaits.

Vanguard: Nightfall – The Trial by Fire
The Lightblade, in Savathun’s Throne World
This week, players will fight against the “Lightblade” in the Nightfall strike. He is considered Oryx’s potential successor and can achieve a decent speed when angry. Defeat him before he uses the light for the wrong purposes.
Earn this Nightfall weapon this week: In the Lightblade, you can secure Explosive Light with the grenade launcher Agile GL3 this week. You will receive the master version of the weapon from the top-ranking.
Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity
The two modes Zone Control and Momentum Control are running this week in PvP.
Where is there a bonus this week? Additional rank points are available this week in Gambit.
Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation
Farmable endgame on a weekly rotation: As the endgame progresses, the legacy rotations await. Both the rotating raid and the rotating dungeon are farmable. This means you can complete the individual encounters repeatedly to receive various items and complete your collection, including any exotics available in these contents.
The weekly legacy raid is the “Glass Vault” with the Exotic “Vex Mythoclast”
Additionally, in the dungeon “The Broken Throne” extra top loot and the exotic bow “Wishender” are available.
Bungie will further expand activity rotations of content starting in Season 22. Then players will not only be able to play raids and dungeons as “legacy”, but also old exotic missions.
Some guardians are currently enjoying the relaxed Season 21 of Destiny 2, doing only what they want
Weekly Activities
With the weekly reset, several activities and challenges have once again been updated that offer players a variety of rewards and progress and make better guardians out of them through repetition.
In the new Season 21, guardians need to dive to the ocean floor of Titan, which is infested by Taken and the Hive. They are searching for something at the bottom of its methane ocean. This promises the solution to ancient secrets and more information about the origins of the Witness.
Lightfall – Weekly Campaign Mission
“Downfall”
Secure the Radial Mast before Calus and his troops “the Veil” arrives.
Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City
If you still need triumphs from the Dreaming City, pay attention: The Corruption reveals new access to you with a sip of “Queen’s Leaf Tincture”.
Petra Venj can be found in the area of Rheasilvia in the Dreaming City. The zone is currently in the 3rd curse week. The 4th Ascendant Challenge is to be mastered.
All Sources for Top Loot in Season 21 of Destiny 2
To make sure you know where to effectively grab your top loot, we offer you a quick overview of activities each week. Here we list the currently known activities that can quickly bring you to the power level cap – unless you have already reached it.
In Lightfall, new guardians start at power level 1,600.
The soft cap is at 1,750.
The powerful cap at 1,800.
With top loot, you can reach the hard cap of 1,810.
Many guardians from Destiny 2 are already wishing there were no power levels at all, and some revelations even seem to indicate:
Weekly Lightfall campaign mission on Legendary (+2)
Hawthorne’s clan quest: Give 5 appreciation cards to other guardians (+2 and 7 enhancement cores)
Trials of Osiris (+2)
Glimmer Highlights in the Eververse
Almost every emote, ornament, or exotic vehicle eventually ends up in the glimmer offer. Therefore, it is always worth it for guardians to regularly earn this in-game currency to gradually complete their collection. This week there is again something new to buy in a summery look.
How about this iconic bumper boat for the summer? It’s definitely fun to cruise with it and costs only glimmer, no silver.
The bumper boat needs skilled guardians who enjoy floating.
Exotic emote “Flag on the Field”
Exotic Sparrow “Bumper Boot”
Exotic ship “Scouting Zeppelin”
Exotic ghost shell “Fin shell”
Exotic weapon ornament “Sudden Gust” for the hand cannon “Storm”
Legendary emote “Roller Dance”

You can find more offers at Ada-1 in the Tower’s annex. It’s also worth a visit here if you still have gaps in your collection.

Destiny 2 has announced Update 7.1.5.1, which brings several changes and improvements. However, in order to apply these updates, the servers must be temporarily taken offline. MeinMMO will keep you informed about everything regarding the planned maintenance.
What you need to know today: Update 7.1.5.1 for Destiny 2 is scheduled for today, July 25, during Dive Season 21. The maintenance works are routine and should not take long. However, players will also be temporarily unable to access the game.
8:11 PM: In the meantime, the download of the update has worked. The download size is 119.4 MB on PC.
7:45 PM: It wasn’t a smooth start this Tuesday during the Weekly Reset. After the upload of Update 7.1.5.1 was not possible, Bungie just reported via Twitter that the downtime has been extended. Further updates on this issue are expected around 9:00 PM.
7:00 PM: In the meantime, the servers should be back online. However, logging in is not possible. An upload is also missing. Bungie has attached the patch notes that we will link to you at the end of the article, and one of the currently disabled mods has been reactivated.
5:15 PM: Bungie has taken its servers offline. Maintenance has begun, and you will have to wait a while before you can get back into the game.
4:00 PM: Destiny 2 has started the maintenance. Players should prepare for being kicked out of their ongoing activities in about an hour. We have provided you with the exact maintenance times further down in the article.
We will keep you updated here with a live ticker during the server downtime. So keep an eye out for updates to this article.
A new in-game messaging system? This latest support message from Bungie was communicated via Twitter “X”. However, since the service’s takeover by Elon Musk, unregistered users can no longer see tweets on the platform and must create an account first.
Players have inquired with Bungie whether an in-game messaging and update system would be a better solution. The developer responded that they are looking for solutions.
In the game, the summer event is currently shining, especially with the new armors. However, some guardians had to look closely to even notice their white glow in 2023.
In this video, you can see the latest elemental armor glow:

Maintenance on July 25 – All times for server downtime
These times are important today: Today’s update will, as always, appear for all platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, as well as PC. According to current planning, the planned downtime is 1 hour and 45 minutes. Last week, this schedule from Bungie went extremely smoothly.
MeinMMO will track the server downtime and regularly update this article with the latest information from Bungie support. Also, if there are any changes to the times.
This is the exact schedule for today’s maintenance in Destiny 2:
4:00 PM: The background maintenance begins on all platforms.
5:15 PM: Bungie will take the servers offline. Players will be automatically kicked out of the game.
During the downtime, Update 7.1.5.1 will be installed and gradually rolled out.
7:00 PM: The expected login should be possible again in time for the Weekly Reset.
The maintenance will continue in the background until 8:00 PM. This means that you should expect a slight “server hiccup” during this time.
Important: As long as the background maintenance is running, there may be connectivity issues in the game. Additionally, right after the update, there may be queues when logging in.
When Destiny 2 is offline, guardians cannot log into the game for a while.
What the hotfix bringstoday: As always, Bungie is working on the list of known and confirmed issues. Here’s a brief overview of what Bungie might fix today:
The event challenge “Flame Keeper” shows an incorrect symbol on the event map.
The rocket launcher “Crowning Dialogue” is not displayed in the collections.
The sunlight armor sets are not displayed in the collections.
There is an issue with igniting armors that prevents some players from completing their Solstice quests and generates a permanent popup window with instructions.
Several mods are currently disabled in the game:
All-Purpose Kickstart: A sphere of power grants 1 temporary armor charge.
Detonation Boost: Grants class ability energy on damage with a grenade.
Impact Induction: Damage with melee attacks reduces grenade cooldown.
Momentum Transfer: Damage with grenades reduces melee cooldown.
Focused Attack: Grants class ability energy through damage with melee attacks.
The defense with the Arc Staff super, while using the hunter’s exotic helmet “Blight Ranger”, inadvertently consumes extra super energy.
Certain scopes of the hand cannon “Judgment” have lost their red dot.
The Guardian Games Sparrow “Glowing Paragon” cannot be acquired from the collections. The exotic bow “Wishender” does not reliably shoot through the shields of the Cabal and Hydra.
Player name changes are not infinitely customizable via bungie.net. Several “Number Guardians” are still waiting for the option to change their username again, instead of receiving the message “You have no name changes available.”.
If you notice any errors in the game that are not listed here, please feel free to share them in our comment section.
What’s in the patch notes? Bungie publishes the list of all changes for maintenance 7.1.5.1 in the form of patch notes. However, these will be released later today and provide a complete overview of all resolved issues and improvements.
As soon as they are released, we will link them in this article, as there may still be changes to them afterwards.
In addition to maintenance and updates, cheat providers are also a problem for Destiny 2. Some of them are unwilling to give up the lucrative business of hacks and cheats:
With the Malevolent Hearts, Diablo 4 changes Builds and mechanics in Season 1 of the action RPG. How to quickly farm the hearts, you can find out here.
How can you quickly farm the Malevolent Hearts? There is a little trick that gives you many hearts in just a few minutes. Diablo expert Rob2628 was the first player to reach level 100 and has uploaded a video on the heart farm.
However, you need the quest “The Cold Hard Truth,” one of the quests from the Season story. You have to go to the “Velkhova Church.” If you no longer have the quest because you have already completed the Season story, you can also be invited to do the dungeon together.
This is how you farm Malevolent Hearts:
Enter the dungeon and run through it
Next to a health fountain, you will find a corrupted bubble – with some luck, it is already a “Malevolent Monster” that will give you a heart
Continue to the boss fight, perform the ritual, and defeat the boss
You will receive a guaranteed Malevolent Heart here
Important: Do not speak to the NPC in the boss cave after the boss has been killed and you have the heart. Then you will continue the quest and you cannot repeat it.
Leave the dungeon and try to restart the quest cave with the reset button in the menu. If the button does not work, then log out and back in briefly.
How well can hearts be farmed here? If you have gotten the hang of it and are preferably playing with teammates, then you can pocket at least one heart in 2 minutes. If there is a Malevolent Monster in the corrupted bubble, you will get two hearts directly in just a few minutes.
You can watch the English video from Rob with the farming strategy here:

Many actors are currently on strike in the USA, fighting for better working conditions. The SAG-AFTRA Foundation supports striking actors with financial assistance. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has now donated a substantial amount of money to the Foundation.
Since July 13, 2023, SAG-AFTRA has been on strike in the USA. This is an actors’ union that particularly demands better working conditions for unknown actors.
The SAG-AFTRA Foundation works with the union but is not part of it. The Foundation provides financial aid to striking actors to help them get by during the strike.
With a large donation, mega-star The Rock has stepped in to support his smaller colleagues.
What was the amount of the donation? In an interview, the president of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Courtney B. Vance, and the executive director Cyd Wilson discussed the strike and Dwayne Johnson’s donation (via variety.com).
Vance promised not to disclose the exact amount of the donation. However, it is said to be a seven-figure donation. The amount is therefore somewhere between 1 million and 10 million US dollars.
According to Director Wilson, this is the largest donation ever received by the Foundation from an individual.
What will the money be used for? In the interview with Variety, the heads of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation discussed some numbers. Wilson clarified: The strike is not about Oscar winners.
It concerns the smaller wheels that sit in the background of a restaurant, contributing a part of the picture that is often unseen but would leave something missing without them. These people often have two or more jobs and must figure out each month, each week, how to continue financing their lives.
The SAG-AFTRA Foundation helps support those who cannot earn money due to the strike. The SAG-AFTRA union has a total of 160,000 members, and many of them currently need financial assistance.
The money is used to buy food, fill up cars, and keep the lives of these individuals running.
How did the donation come about? The SAG-AFTRA Foundation sent out 2,700 letters to the Foundation members at the start of the strike, who are known to earn the most.
How much has been donated in total is not disclosed by the officials. But The Rock has made the largest contribution.
Courtney B. Vance also uses the interview to express gratitude: ‘It was a love fest […] I want to thank Dwayne for his enormous generosity, compassion, and initiative to step up in such a significant and meaningful way for our community. On behalf of the thousands whom his historic donation will help, thank you, thank you, thank you.’
The gaming streamer Adin Ross has reportedly switched from Twitch to Kick for a lot of money. However, the 22-year-old was missing for a few days and skipped his streams on Kick. This sparked wild speculation on Twitter.
Who is Adin Ross?
Adin Ross is a controversial streamer who built a career on Twitch with live shows and NBA 2k. He was extremely successful on Twitch, especially in the wake of the controversial misogynist Andrew Tate, earning over 180,000 € a month solely from subscriptions.
The streamer switched to Kick in February 2023 – as he himself hinted, he received a lot of money for it, allegedly the “best deal in streaming ever.”
Adin Ross is reportedly getting even more money from Kick than xQc:

From Overwatch professional to number 1 on Twitch to 100 million $ – Who is xQc?
Ross does not stream for 5 days on Kick – despite strong contract
This was the situation: Although Adin Ross allegedly signed a huge contract with the new streaming service Kick, he was offline for several days: between July 19 and July 24, his channel on Kick remained silent.
This might be due to a conflict with his “mentor” Andrew Tate with whom he had a falling out: Tate criticized him for taking drugs and spreading narrow-minded, false views regarding LGBTQ+.
This tweet went viral, even though it had no basis in fact.
Tweet was completely made up, meant to “scare Adin Ross”
What’s the problem with this tweet? The tweet is completely made up, there is no statement from Kick.
The tweet was apparently intended as a joke. Just minutes after the original tweet appeared, the user posted a second tweet with a picture of Spongebob and the text “Hopefully, this will scare him enough to stream again.”
But the tweet went viral and many took it as a serious announcement that Adin Ross was losing an extremely lucrative contract.
How did Twitter react? They added a “context note” that one could mistakenly take the tweet as a fact. The tweet is misleading: Kick did not terminate the contract.
Does Adin Ross really earn $180 million? No, the details of his contract with Kick are not clear:
There was once a rumor that Ross would receive $150 million for his switch over 2 years
This rumor was denied by Kick insider Trainwreck
Adin Ross himself stated that he has not disclosed any details about his contract
The $180 million was apparently another ironic exaggeration from the Twitter user, who seems to have overestimated Adin Ross’s followers’ ability to recognize irony on the internet.
