Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok is the most famous LoL player in the world. He started his career in early 2013 with the Korean team SK Telecom T1, to which he remains loyal to this day. However, they recently surprisingly lost a duel against the currently worst team in the league. Faker then stated that he is struggling with an injury.
What kind of injury does he have? Faker said in a press conference that he has had problems with his arms lately. They are “in poor condition” and this has “great impacts”. However, the professional is already receiving treatment.
The LoL professional has reportedly been struggling with pain for about two weeks. During this time, T1 also lost a match against KT Rolster 0:2 and narrowly achieved a victory against NongShim REDFORCE, the team at the bottom of the standings, with 2:1. Faker did not look good against his opponent FIESTA in the mid lane.
It is unclear whether he will continue to play in the coming weeks or possibly take a break. T1 has two backup mid-laners on the team, who, however, have not convinced lately.
“People forget that T1 has practically participated in every playoffs and international tournaments”
What has Faker achieved in the last 10 years? Since 2013, Faker has been continuously playing in the highest Korean league, with a short break in 2021. In addition, there are many international titles.
His rapid rise began in 2013 when he unexpectedly won the World Championship with SK Telecom T1.
In 2015 and 2016, they celebrated two more World Championships and are so far the only team to successfully defend their title.
In 2017, they only came in second place, in 2019 they only made it to places 3/4, just like in 2021. Last year they again reached second place.
Only in 2014, 2018, and 2020 did Faker miss the World Championship.
Besides the successes at the Worlds, T1 and Faker have also secured other titles, including two wins and two second places at the MSI, as well as nine league championships in Korea. The Korean league also has more games per season, as they always conduct a Best-of-Three in the regular competition.
How are the fans reacting to the injury? They are showing concern. After all, Faker, at 27, is already one of the oldest active LoL professionals and he has had few breaks throughout his career. User Jozoz writes on Reddit:
Unfortunately, this is not a surprise with such a long career and very few interruptions. People forget that T1 was practically involved in every playoff and an insane number of international tournaments. And Faker was practically there the whole time.
He had very few opportunities to take longer breaks. That eventually takes its toll.
However, user forestcandle24 is significantly more worried. Because Faker usually keeps private matters rather private, which is why the injury could be more serious:
Faker has such a professional attitude that he usually tries to keep such things to himself. The fact that he spoke publicly about it (and also the fact that it has persisted since the BRO game, which was almost 20 days ago) probably means that it has actually affected him. I really hope for optimistic results in the match next week, but whatever it is, I hope T1 can be transparent with the fans. I’m sure everyone cares more about Faker’s health than anything else.
For the creators of Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, Starfield is also the first new franchise in 25 years, so comparisons to other Bethesda titles are inevitable.
There is also a heated discussion on the social network Reddit about how large Starfield will be and whether it can surpass Skyrim as one of the best role-playing games of all time.

Starfield – Official Gameplay Trailer
94 score on Metacritic and 60 million units sold
Which role-playing game does Starfield have to surpass? With The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Bethesda set a milestone. The role-playing game remains extremely popular and successful to this day.
Just in June, Starfield Game Director Todd Howard said in an interview with IGN (via YouTube) that Skyrim has sold over 60 million copies.
Additionally, there is a 94 score for the PC version on the review platform Metacritic and 94% positive reviews on Steam – with over 130,000 reviews.
“No doubt that Starfield will surpass Skyrim”
What do players say? On Reddit, a user posed the question, “Do you think Starfield will surpass Skyrim?” and received over 500 responses, mainly discussing which game will be better for them.
It should be noted that the question was asked in the Starfield subreddit – amongst players who already have a keen interest in the game. Nevertheless, there are some comments that emphasize that they also liked Skyrim very much.
For many users, the answer is that Starfield can surpass Skyrim for sci-fi fans. However, fantasy fans will likely continue to prefer Skyrim.
“Pretty much the only thing that could have made Skyrim better for me was to transport all the stuff into space, and that’s exactly what is happening now.”
“For people who have a strong preference for fantasy/high fantasy, probably not. For those who like both fantasy and sci-fi, it will probably [surpass Skyrim]. And for those who prefer sci-fi – definitely. Personally, I think it will blow me away, based on what has been shown so far.”
“I have no doubt that Starfield will surpass Skyrim in almost every respect. But as someone who has a preference for fantasy, The Elder Scrolls will always remain my favorite, no matter what happens. But even aside from that, and considering my bias, I would be extremely surprised if Starfield could match The Elder Scrolls V in terms of story.”
How good Starfield really is will only be revealed with the release of the highly anticipated role-playing game. In September, fans can therefore discuss the question again and decide whether their expectations were met or if they were disappointed.
The government of the Netherlands is preparing to take action against controversial loot boxes. With Belgium as a model, a complete ban on random boxes is being pursued. There, loot boxes are considered illegal gambling. A similar regulation is now to follow for the Netherlands.
On Twitter, Leon Y. Xiao shares a response email from the Dutch government. He inquired about the status of loot boxes in video games. So far, some games with loot boxes are banned in the Netherlands, but there is still no law for a complete ban.
Thus, Xiao wanted confirmation that Minister Adriaansens has plans to act against this form of gambling. The response in English can be read here:

It states that Adriaansens indeed wants to take action against loot boxes and plans to completely ban them in the Netherlands. This is intended to further improve the regulations for in-game purchases in the country.
What type of “loot boxes” is precisely intended to be banned here? Loot boxes include in-game chests that can be purchased with real money or in-game currency bought with real money. Before purchase, it is not apparent what the contents of the loot box will be. Some manufacturers indicate the percentage chance of certain items, but what ultimately comes out of the chest remains uncertain.
Which games are affected? If the loot box ban is actually enforced in the Netherlands, especially free battle royale games and some shooters could be banned. The video games that would become illegal due to the ban include:
When will the ban come for Germany? Currently, there are no plans to enforce such a ban in Germany. Although consumer organizations continually demand stricter rules, they are met with deaf ears by the German government.
In Pokémon GO you will be able to meet Shiny Mew again in just a few days. However, the mysterious Pokémon will not be available to everyone. We at MeinMMO will show you how to get it, who will have to pass, and how the trainers are reacting to this news.
Which Pokémon is it? One of the most popular mysterious Pokémon is Mew. The monster comes from the first generation of games and belongs to the Psychic type. It has no pre-evolution or evolution. Like other mysterious monsters, it does not simply appear in Pokémon GO but is part of special research.
Now trainers can secure a specimen again in just a few days, which will even be guaranteed to be shiny. However, the developers have made some restrictions here. What this is all about, we have summarized below.
New masterpiece research with Shiny Mew
When is Shiny Mew coming back into the game? Pokémon GO will be celebrating its 7th anniversary in just a few days. They are celebrating this with a big event called Party for the 7th Anniversary. The focus is particularly on the first-generation Pokémon, which can be found in the wild, in raids, and in research.
Mew will also be part of the celebrations and is returning in a paid special research All in one… No. 151. Trainers can purchase the content for 5 US dollars, which is about 5 euros, in the in-game shop. However, the research is not really new and therefore cannot be used by everyone.
Recycled special research: Normally, Niantic only uses special research once. However, this is different for the anniversary event with Mew. The mysterious Pokémon appears in research that was available for purchase three years ago during the Kanto tour. This is also the reason why not everyone can obtain the research.
Who doesn’t get the research? Trainers who purchased this research for the Kanto tour three years ago cannot buy it again. They can only benefit from the additional bonuses that will be unlocked for ticket holders during the anniversary event. You will receive:
double effectiveness of incense
double effectiveness of adventure incense
double effectiveness of lures
Trainers are angry: Why aren’t they making new research?
Trainers criticize implementation: Although Mew, especially in its shiny form, is very popular among trainers, many are not satisfied with Niantic’s approach. This is mainly because the developers did not take the effort to develop a new research that would be accessible to all players. After all, trainers would be willing to spend money again for a Mew research.
Additionally, there is criticism regarding a bug that occurred during the Kanto tour and could now have significant effects from the perspective of many affected. During the 2021 event, players were able to use ticket-required content even though they did not purchase a ticket for the Kanto tour.
Even though there was a replacement event for ticket holders for the Kanto tour, players now have concerns that the mentioned trainers could secure another shiny Mew because they officially never bought a ticket. That would be unfair to the players who invested money back then and now have no chance to buy another ticket. As can be read in the Reddit comments:
BARLYz: Seriously, this game is annoying. Why don’t they make a completely new research for everyone to get rewards…
SenseiEntei: I mean, fine. I already have a shiny Mew and was tempted to buy another one, even though I never want to give Niantic money again. This now solves my dilemma.
phillypokego: So are the trainers in half the world who mistakenly received shiny Mew for free without ever paying for the Kanto tour getting the chance to buy a second one?
Praise from trainers: However, players who missed the Kanto tour or were not active in the game at that time are especially happy about this return. For them, it’s finally a chance to secure the Pokémon.
As galeongirl writes (via reddit.com): I missed the GO Tour Kanto, so I’m glad that I can actually get the masterpiece research and shiny Mew!
How do you feel about Shiny Mew coming back into the game? Will you get the research? Or are you among the players who cannot buy it again? Do you also find that unfair? Let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other trainers.
The talents of a character in Diablo 4 are going to be really expensive to reset. A player at level 100 has taken his gold into his hands and has tried it completely to share his insights with the community.
this totals 8,846,335 gold to reset the entire board
According to the community, that is not too much. What is annoying is that each point has to be reset individually. This takes time and is unnecessary if there could simply be a button to reset all points, like with talents.
By the way, these also become increasingly expensive as you level up. If you want to reset all talent points, you will pay:
138,098 gold at level 52
2.5 million gold at level 91
4,358,642 gold or 75,149 gold per point at level 100 (via wowhead)
this totals just over 13 million gold for a complete reset at level 100
In the video, we explain when it is worth selling items:

When should I break down or sell items in Diablo 4?
13 million gold for a new build
While you will accumulate a fair amount of gold on your way to level 100, you will also urgently need it for other things like removing aspects from legendaries or rerolling items. Especially the latter can quickly run into millions.
To farm a complete reset, you probably need about 1-2 hours of pure farming at level 100, depending on class and build, more or less. You can find tips on this here:
When is a reset worth it? Even if a complete reset is expensive, the grind for the gold takes less time than leveling a new character to this level. So if you have little time but want to try a new build, it can definitely be worth it.
This can especially make sense if you are already considering builds for your new season characters or want to try it out on the eternal realm first. Because new legendaries and co. will also be available on the eternal realm.
You will have to farm gold anew in the season. To test a build, you can therefore use your equipped “mains” to experiment here before wasting gold in the season. You can find more on this here:
Since 2018, some MMORPGs have come to market that many of you may not have (anymore) on your radar. We take a look at the gems of the last 5 years of MMORPGs on Steam and explain where they currently stand.
How was this list created? The following titles are MMORPGs that have been released in the last 5 years. They must also be playable via Steam and have had a full release. Early access titles are therefore deliberately omitted from this listing.
The titles were selected by our MMORPG expert Mark Sellner, who has been involved in the genre for over 15 years and has played some of them for more than a hundred hours.

Albion Online
Setting: Fantasy | Developer: Sandbox Interactive | Platform: PC, Android, iOS | Release Date: July 17, 2017 | Model: Free2Play
What kind of game is this? Okay, before you say anything, 2017 was a bit longer ago than 5 years. However, the game only received its Steam release in May 2018, and we’ll let that slide with good will.
Albion Online is a fantasy MMORPG from an isometric perspective, similar to Lost Ark. However, the graphics lean more towards a comic style. Additionally, Albion scores points with a large sandbox and many options for your character.
There are no fixed classes, and you are always whatever you are currently wearing. To handle this flexibly, crafting and gathering play a major role in the world of Albion Online.
What makes it special? Albion impresses primarily with its realization of a sandbox world, where you can really do a lot of things. But the system of your equipment also makes the MMORPG interesting.
Your gear is sacred in many games, and everything you have farmed for the last thousand hours is valuable, but in Albion, it’s much more of a resource. You can and will lose your equipment in various ways, and you will need to reinvent yourself.

The German MMORPG Albion Online shows upcoming content – players say: „Great news for solo players“
What sounds discouraging at first works great in the gameplay loop. It creates a similar feeling to classics like EVE Online, where your spaceships are also more like consumables, much like your armors in Albion.
Since you can play Albion through Steam, the own launcher, and on mobile devices, don’t be deterred by the comparatively low player numbers on Steam. Albion is full of players, and it’s clear to everyone, especially in the first city.
Who is it interesting for? Albion Online is interesting for all players who are not bothered by open-world PvP and can live with the comic-like graphics. You get a solid MMORPG with a large heap of content, most of which is accessible for Free2Play.
However, if you really want to dive into the game, you’ll need at least the optional subscription that gives you various advantages for around 10 euros. If that’s not a problem and you generally enjoy sandbox MMORPGs, you can gladly try Albion.
Is starting in 2023 worthwhile? Yes, absolutely. In MMORPGs, one often wonders whether one can somehow catch up 5 years later. Albion is one of those games where this is hardly a problem.
In just a few days, you can have a usable endgame gear together and enough silver to get by. Since the game is a sandbox, you will set your own goals from there on. But content will not be denied to you. Theoretically, you can quickly join veterans or even defeat them in PvP.
Tower of Fantasy
Setting: Anime/Sci-Fi | Developer: Hotta Studio | Platform: PC, Android, iOS, Xbox, PlayStation | Release Date: December 16, 2021 | Model: Free2Play
What kind of game is this? Tower of Fantasy had an exciting development period. Initially announced, the MMORPG in the style of Genshin Impact was supposed to be released globally but was initially only available on the Asian market. Later, the developers revised this statement, and a western release was no longer planned.
Tower of Fantasy introduces Housing, comes with Update 1.5 – “It’s time to try this game”
What makes it special? For an MMORPG, it’s rather unusual that you play many different characters somewhat simultaneously. It relies on a concept very similar to Genshin Impact.
Also in Tower of Fantasy, you draw different equipment and new characters from Gacha packs, which you can either buy with in-game currency or real money.
Besides that, the game features a large, open world and a lot of exploration. Especially at the beginning of the MMORPG, you can expect a lot of story content and relatively little multiplayer. But that changes at the latest when it comes to the action-packed battles.
These play a bit faster and are equipped with significantly more action than in the template Genshin Impact. You need to specifically dodge with perfect timing to create a dome that freezes enemies. So the whole group benefits greatly from real skill.
How has it been since the release? That is difficult to answer. Tower of Fantasy was released several months after its original release on Steam, where trackable numbers are available. It was even later released on consoles.
How many people are currently playing Tower of Fantasy is known only to the developers. Nevertheless, since the release, there has been a noticeable decline in fans on Twitch and Steam.
On the positive side, it must be mentioned that the MMORPG continuously receives content updates. New areas, characters, and features are added at very regular intervals. Moreover, the story of the game is continued with each major update.
Who is it interesting for? Tower of Fantasy is exciting for all fans of the anime look. Especially now, while we have to wait until 2024 for Blue Protocol. The MMORPG offers a successful and fast combat system and can score points mainly with PvE and story.
It is not suitable for people who have a problem with the Gacha system. It is, as in the template Genshin Impact, basically unavoidable. For PvP fans, the MMORPG offers the so-called Apex-League, according to some reports on reddit, it is not in the best condition.
However, since Tower of Fantasy is Free2Play and available on virtually every platform, you lose nothing if you simply take a look at the MMORPG and decide whether it’s something for you or not.
Is starting in 2023 worthwhile? If the game itself appeals to you and you don’t mind lagging behind a bit, then yes, absolutely. However, Tower of Fantasy largely dispenses with catch-up mechanics that allow you to catch up to veterans.
You can draw legendary equipment and heroes from the currently active banner and are then theoretically at a similar level to people who have played since release, but the appearance is deceptive.
Because Tower of Fantasy relies heavily on weekly time gates, particularly for essential currency and upgrade materials. Currently, there is no catch-up mechanic, so if you start today, you will be many weeks behind veterans.

Legendary items in Diablo 4 are important not only because of their rarity but primarily because of their aspects. These aspects can be extracted to be used in better items. We explain why it is worth upgrading gear before extracting the aspects here.
What is the benefit of upgrading legendary items? At the blacksmith, you can upgrade any item regardless of its rarity tier in 5 levels. Various stats of the item are improved in the process.
As Reddit user Khamael_X explains in a post, the aspects are also improved. By upgrading an item, the item power of an item increases by 5. Every 10 item power also increases the value of the item’s aspects.
You can find more info on upgrading and item power here:
Diablo 4: Merchants are more useful than you think
Does this apply to all items and aspects? The upgrading only refers to aspects that have an absolute value. Aspects that have percentage values do not improve with the upgrading of the item.
Moreover, the upgrading only works for aspects that are in their original item. If you upgrade an item that contains a custom aspect from you, the value of the aspect does not change. Whether this is a bug, a display error, or intentional in the game, we cannot say.
As Reddit user Deftly_Flowing explains in the comments, even aspects from the codex are worth it at very high levels. From level 80 onwards, the aspects from the codex are said to have better values than many found ones.
But this too only applies to aspects with absolute values and not percentage values. The values from the codex scale with the player’s level, making them stronger at very high levels.
However, this does not mean that it is impossible to drop aspects that are in the codex with high values. The absolute values of the codex aspects are constant at high levels, while the aspects in dropped items scale with the item power.

The next expansion of World of Warcraft is surely already in development. A first teaser is now fueling speculation.
A few days ago, Blizzard announced that BlizzCon will return in November 2023. The company’s own fair could not take place at all or only in a limited digital form during the Corona pandemic years. However, this year it will be held again, and it seems practically confirmed that Blizzard will reveal the next expansion of World of Warcraft here.
A first small hint is provided by the “Key Art” for BlizzCon 2023. It features the orc Thrall. Following the tradition of the past, this is a first hint at the 10th expansion of World of Warcraft.
Thrall adorns the banner for BlizzCon 2023. What does this mean?
What does the Key Art featuring Thrall mean? The fact that Thrall was chosen for the Key Art is quite interesting. Because at the present moment, Thrall has no role in Dragonflight. Therefore, he has nothing to do with the current focus of the story.
At the same time, Thrall symbolically represents the “old” World of Warcraft, essentially the classic game world as we knew it from Vanilla. This would fit well with the theory that Blizzard is planning a major overhaul of World of Warcraft, essentially a “Cataclysm 2.0”, which would bring the world up to date with the current narrative and visually enhance it significantly.
In principle, there is also the possibility that Thrall has nothing or very little to do with the next expansion. However, looking at the history of the “Key Art” of BlizzCon, this seems rather unlikely.
What did the Key Art mean in the past? That the so-called “Key Art”, essentially the artistic centerpiece used to promote BlizzCon, prominently features a character has already been a clear hint in the past, even if little could be inferred from it.
In 2017, Jaina was depicted there. The expansion “Battle for Azeroth” was announced in which she played a major role and was appointed leader of Kul Tiras.
In 2019, Sylvanas Windrunner was featured in the image. At the time, it was assumed that she appeared due to her significant role in Battle for Azeroth, but she also became the great antagonist in Shadowlands and was then prominently depicted in the cinematic.
This is how things will continue with WoW next week:

What role Thrall will play in the next expansion of World of Warcraft will likely be revealed by early November. Until then, there is still plenty of time for speculation. So feel free to let us know in the comments what you believe the next direction of World of Warcraft will be.

In Pokémon GO there is a Spotlight Hour today, on July 4, 2023, featuring Geronimatz. We show you everything about Shiny, the start, and the bonuses of the event in the overview.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday, a Spotlight Hour starts in Pokémon GO. For 60 minutes, a Pokémon chosen by Niantic appears much more frequently in the wild and is accompanied by a bonus. The combination of Pokémon and bonus is set by the developers at the beginning of each month.
In today’s event, you will encounter the Pokémon Geronimatz and receive double Stardust for catching Pokémon.
Spotlight Hour on July 4
When does it start? As with every Tuesday, the Spotlight Hour today starts again at 6:00 PM. The event is active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? If you play during the event time, you will encounter Geronimatz almost everywhere in the wild. If you want to further increase the encounters, you can activate incense.
Additionally, you will receive double Stardust for catching Pokémon. So it’s a good opportunity to stock up on this resource.
Today marks the first Spotlight Hour of this month. Three more events are scheduled for you in July. In the overview, we show you what the next dates look like:
Can you catch Shiny Geronimatz? Yes, the shiny form of Geronimatz is already active in Pokémon GO and can be caught by you. However, keep in mind that the chances are not increased during the Spotlight Hour. So you will need a lot of luck.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today? Geronimatz is not particularly attractive as an attacker. Its evolution, Washakwil, unfortunately, is also not one of the strong Pokémon. It reaches barely the lower midfield in PvP at the Super and Hyper League. There are definitely stronger alternatives.
So participating in today’s Spotlight Hour is mainly worthwhile for the Stardust bonus.

Leya watched the animated film Nimona on Netflix and finds it much better than anything Pixar has delivered in the last three years.
Pixar has never made a bad movie. Not until today.
But the glorious times seem to be over. Since 2020, when “Onward: No Half Measures” was released in theaters, Pixar hasn’t had a real hit. Filmstarts describes “Onward” as solid.
Just solid! And that for a Pixar film. Solid is nothing when I think of the great Pixar classics: Just the first 10 minutes of “Up” made me cry so much that I had to pause the film because I couldn’t see anything with my teary eyes.
“Elemental” (via Moviepilot), the latest film from Disney Pixar, only made a meager 29.5 million dollars in its first week in the USA while it cost 200 million dollars. A sad milestone marking the worst theater start in the 28-year history of the renowned animation studio.
Elemental is already considered a flop.
Nimona has everything I expect from Pixar
When I see the trailer for Nimona, I know I have to see the film. A shapeshifter who befriends a disgraced knight and becomes his evil henchwoman? I’m in!
Start video
Nimona – Trailer
I expect a nice animated film that I can casually watch. Instead, I get a fascinating world that mixes medieval and cyberpunk themes.
I did not expect such a dark introduction to the story, and it immediately makes me stare in disbelief at the TV. Without wanting to spoil too much: The introduction has about the same weight as the death of Mufasa in “The Lion King.”
I immediately feel connected to the characters and follow them with all my heart on their journey. Especially the anti-heroine Nimona, who is outcast by society, reminds me of my youth. I remember what it feels like to be excluded with all your being.
The film lingers, and I find more and more reasons why I like Nimona so much.
Nimona could have belonged to Disney
On Rotten Tomatoes, Nimona currently stands at 94% positive user ratings. So I’m not the only one who perceives Nimona as a pretty great film. For Netflix, Nimona is currently a big success.
Nimona has a difficult production history. Originally produced by Blue Sky Studios, a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, the project was delayed several times after Disney’s acquisition due to the pandemic.
Ultimately, Disney halted the production of Nimona. About a year after the closure of Blue Sky Studios, “Nimona” was taken over by Annapurna Pictures. With the success Nimona is currently celebrating in contrast to Elemental, Disney might be regretting that now.
Fairly speaking, it must be said that Nimona wouldn’t have automatically been such a success in theaters. If you already have Netflix, the barrier to casually check out Nimona as a hidden gem is very low.
Nimona encourages feelings
The film deals with themes of same-sex love and gender fluidity.
But the great thing about Nimona is that these themes are not at the center of the story and don’t have to be mentioned explicitly. They are just part of the characters, influencing their emotional world and their lives.
But the film is provocative in many ways, which is why it stays in memory – it stands out.
Not your typical duo:
Nimona and Knight Ballister Boldheart
In the end, Nimona addresses a topic that concerns us all as human beings: acceptance. Not to fear the unfamiliar. To have the courage to stand by yourself.
The film also illustrates how easily mass manipulation via media can happen – and how quickly we are ready to pull out the pitchforks when presented with an image of an enemy. A topic that cannot be addressed too early in the age of AI manipulation.
Nimona challenges the smallest and the largest to think and feel – and that is what I have been missing from Pixar in recent years.

Fun Fact: In one scene, actress Joanna Cassidy (Zhora) wears a python snake around her neck. She had no problem with it as the snake was her pet named “Darling.”

In Inception, a group of thieves plan a special coup: they want to break into the subconscious of a businessman to manipulate his thoughts.
Inception is praised by many for its innovative and complex plot, which revolves around the human subconscious and dreams.
But also the visual implementation of the hard-to-grasp and surreal dream sequences full of well-executed special effects is impressive. At one point, an entire city curves in the sky or gravity is turned upside down during a fight.
This is what IMDb ratings say: With 8.8 out of 10 stars, IMDb users rate the film very well, with a total of 2.4 million reviews.
Fun Fact: In an interview with “Entertainment Weekly,” director Christopher Nolan said that he designed the characters of the “Inception” team based on actors known from the film world.
Thus, the main character is the director, while Arthur is the producer and Ariadne is the production designer. Eames represents the actor, Saito represents the studio, and Fischer represents the audience.
A new shooter on Steam is currently thrilling thousands of players. The developers have now talked about their plans for the future.
What kind of game is this? BattleBit Remastered is a first-person shooter where up to 254 players compete against each other in various PvP modes. The gameplay is reminiscent of the popular Battlefield series: it features chaotic battles with lots of players fighting on foot or in various vehicles.
By now, the shooter has over 35,000 player reviews and is doing really well on Steam. A strong 91% of all reviews are positive. Additionally, BattleBit had an average of 45,000 players on Steam during its release month in June and reached a peak of 86,636 concurrent players (via Steamcharts).
If you want to get an impression of BattleBit Remastered, you can watch a trailer here:

Battlebit Remastered – Announcement Trailer
Developers Reveal Future Plans
What does the shooter receive that Battlefield fans have wanted for 1.5 years? In a report from July 1, the developers of BattleBit gave a small glimpse of the content they plan for the shooter in the future.
The planned content includes community-driven servers with special game modes, maps, and rules that can be customized by the admins. With the introduction of community servers, players can rent servers independently and then decide which modes and maps are played under which rules.
Additionally, a so-called server browser will allow players to choose a server that offers rules, maps, and modes according to their preferences.
Such a server browser is missing in Battlefield 2042, the latest installment of the popular series, although it was a popular feature in previous Battlefield titles. Unsurprisingly, many Battlefield fans have been requesting a server browser for 2042 for months now (via Reddit).
What other new content does the shooter plan? Besides planning a server browser, the developers also spoke of other content that BattleBit Remastered is set to receive in the future.
According to them, they intend to
bring new weapons, maps, gadgets, and map remakes
introduce new game modes
recruit experts in cheat detection
While BattleBit Remastered celebrates a successful release and plans a hopefully successful future, Battlefield 2042 is already in its 5th season. You can find the trailer for it on MeinMMO:
The players are always looking for secrets and the best way to get good loot in Diablo 4. A fan has apparently combined both and swears by it: if you follow the rats, you will definitely get Legendarys. Now thousands of players are following the rodents.
What is the deal with the rats?
The hunt for ever better loot is the main incentive for most players in Diablo 4.
If you follow the rats in dungeons and kill enemies where they stop, it is said that Legendarys will rain down. At least that’s what one player claimed.
The community has tried this and wants to be able to confirm it. Now they are asking for confirmations from Blizzard, using rats as a meme and even searching for the secret rat level.
How should that work? The Reddit user zerger45 has raised the claim that rats lead him to good loot like their nose to cheese. One should not focus on the given path in dungeons at all.
Instead, it is much better to see where the little rodents are running. Rats can be found almost everywhere, but you have to be careful not to overlook them or even accidentally kill them.
zerger45 swears that he found a ton of Legendarys in 10 minutes this way. The rats show him which enemies have loot. He then kills them and collects the orange pieces.
If you want more chances for loot, definitely check out the many basements of the game:

“I followed the rats”
The post has quickly gathered over 8,400 likes and over 570 comments. Other players respond, posting screenshots of loot that they allegedly found through rats.
Others try to resist but fail and give in to the temptation to try it out themselves. One even claims to have found one of the coveted Uniques for the Necromancer:

Since then, rats have become a tip for anyone complaining about getting too little loot. It is always said, “Just follow the rats.” Parts of the discussions are even taken away from the original topic to talk about the rats.
Moreover, conspiracy theories have formed. For example, that “rats” reversed yields “star” and somehow relates to the S.T.A.R.S. from Resident Evil. Because there are also zombies. Please don’t think too much about it…
Does it really work? That is hard to imagine. Loot drops everywhere and often in Diablo 4. It is quite possible that a group of enemies, whom a rat runs to, has Legendarys.
However, the idea that rats specifically run to such enemies or increase the chances of loot doesn’t sound very plausible. Then again, it’s Blizzard, who include all sorts of strange Easter eggs in their games.
The whole discussion has now caused the community to follow the whole rat topic more closely. So much so that they sometimes think more about a secret rat level than the legendary cow level they have been searching for until now:
In Pokémon GO, you can compete against Mega Blastoise again starting Thursday, July 6, 2023. We at MeinMMO will show you which monster this is and whether it’s worth it.
Which Pokémon is it? On Thursday, there will be another raid boss change in Pokémon GO, and you can encounter Mega Blastoise for a few days. The temporary Mega Evolution of Blastoise is not making its debut in raids, as it regularly returns to them. It could already be found there in April 2023.
But is the evolution worth it at all? We looked into it in detail and summarized it for you below.
When do the Mega Raids with Blastoise take place? Mega Blastoise will enter the Mega Raids of Pokémon GO on Thursday, July 6, 2023, at 10:00 AM local time. You can encounter it until July 13, 2023, at 10:00 AM local time, until it is replaced by Mega Sceptile.
This is Mega Blastoise: Mega Blastoise is the temporary evolution of Blastoise. It evolves from Squirtle, one of the starter Pokémon of the first generation. To obtain a Mega Blastoise, you’ll need the corresponding Mega Energy, which you can gather by completing Mega Raids.
Once you trigger the Mega Evolution, not only do you enhance the monster’s stats during its activation, but you also gain a special boost in the raid where the water attacks of other Pokémon are enhanced. This can give you a decisive advantage in battle.
Additionally, there’s a special candy bonus during an active Mega Evolution. You will receive more candies for catching water Pokémon with Mega Blastoise.
Is there a Shiny Mega Blastoise? Yes, after the raid is won, you have a chance to encounter a Shiny Blastoise. This can also be evolved into a Shiny Mega Blastoise with the appropriate Mega Energy. You recognize it by its purple body.
Blastoise normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Is Mega Blastoise worth it?
How strong is it: Mega Blastoise, like its pre-evolutions, belongs to the Water type. It has high attack and defense values and also possesses solid stamina. This allows it to hold out in battle for a long time and remain with you along with its Mega boost for a little longer.
However, there are other water Pokémon, like Primal Kyogre, that are slightly better than the blue turtle in terms of attack. Still, with a moveset of Water Gun and Hydro Pump, it ranks among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
In the GO Battle League, Mega Evolutions are generally not allowed. Therefore, you cannot use Mega Blastoise there.
However, you can rely on a normal Blastoise with a moveset of Water Gun, Hydro Pump, and Ice Beam, which is a solid choice, especially in the Hyper League. But even here, monsters like Swampert are the better choice (via pvpoke.com).
For whom is Mega Blastoise worth it? Mega Blastoise is a strong attacker that should definitely be in your team. Especially for Trainers who are new to Pokémon GO, it’s a good entry Mega Pokémon for raids. This is also because you can often find Squirtle in the game, like at the Community Day Classic in July. This way, you can quickly gather many candies and level up strong monsters quickly.
Therefore, the raids with Mega Blastoise are a great opportunity to gather enough Mega Energy. Additionally, you have another chance to obtain a strong specimen. Shiny hunters also get their share with Mega Blastoise. Furthermore, like all Mega Evolutions, you benefit from the Mega boost in the raid and receive additional candies when catching monsters of the same type.
However, those who want to benefit from a better attack in battle should wait for the global GO Fest 2023, where Primal Kyogre returns to the raids.
Will you complete the raids with Mega Blastoise? Or do you find the Pokémon rather uninteresting? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.
In a blog post from June 30, the developers of ARK: Survival Evolved announced that the release of the ARK remaster will be postponed and the price will change – at least temporarily.
What is this remaster?
Since March 31, 2023, we know that the Steam hit ARK: Survival Evolved will receive a remaster called “ARK Survival Ascended”.
The remaster will bring ARK to Unreal Engine 5 and will be released for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5
Because the developers want to shut down the official servers of ARK: Survival Evolved with the release of ARK Survival Ascended, there was already strong criticism from the community shortly after the announcement
Players also criticized the price of ARK Survival Ascended as well as the fact that the DLCs should not be included. Studio Wildcard responded to the criticism in early April and changed the price and content of the remaster
ARK remaster will be released later and without DLC map
What changes with the release? The release of ARK Survival Ascended, originally planned for August 2023, is postponed. The remaster of ARK is now set to be released in October 2023.
Moreover, the release plan for the DLC content is changing. ARK Survival Ascended will be released – contrary to the original plan – only with the map “The Island”. The “Scorched Earth” DLC is supposed to be added in December 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, “Aberration” and “Ragnarok” are expected to follow.
At the beginning of April, Wildcard stated that “Scorched Earth” would be included in the game at launch. In the fourth quarter of 2023, “Aberration” was supposed to be added, and in the first quarter of 2024 then “Extinction”. Maps like Ragnarok and Fjördur were expected to follow throughout 2024.
With the giant bug “Rhyniognatha”, ARK recently received a new creature:

Remaster will be cheaper because contents will not be finished
What changes with the price? ARK Survival Ascended is set to launch in October 2023 as an “Early Access” title at a reduced price, as the studio cannot deliver the contents originally promised for the release of the remaster in time.
Instead of 60 US dollars, ARK Survival Ascended will now cost 44.99 US dollars during the “Early Access” phase. At release, there will be a discount, making the remaster available for 39.99 US dollars.
How much the ARK Survival Ascended will cost in euros is not yet known in detail. However, it is to be expected that the purchase price will not differ significantly.
Even weeks after the release, players are still occupied by Diablo 4 and Lilith, the game’s great antagonist. She exerts a strange fascination on fans who apparently overlook how evil the horned lady actually is due to her charisma.
What is the deal with Lilith?
Lilith is the daughter of Mephisto and a demon known for her penchant for sin, torture, and suffering.
Together with the angel Inarius, she created the world of Sanctuary and humanity. She is essentially the reason we even exist in the game.
Yet, we fight against her, and some players apparently do not understand why. A thread on Reddit with over 2,000 replies explains why.
Everything about Lilith can be found in our lore article:
This is what fans say: The creator of the post claims to see no evil in Lilith. No one in the story has a good point; we only fight her because she is a demon, and that is bad. However, she only wants to prepare Sanctuary for a battle with the great evils.
The post faces a lot of backlash in the comments. Some players cynically explain that it was not the best start to be attacked by Lilith’s “created” cannibals in the very first minutes. The comment from user ZZGooch with over 7,500 upvotes details the “details” that one might “overlook” a bit more elaborately:
there are piles of corpses everywhere
there are tortured victims on every corner
due to Lilith’s influence, dozens of people fight each other
Minor story spoiler
Lilith even unleashes a powerful demon on a helpless city
According to ZZGooch, it helps not to only stare at Lilith’s breasts during the cutscenes but to actually listen to her when she says something. It becomes quite clear that she is not exactly the ideal leader for humanity.
Lilith has captivated players early on:

Diablo 4: The Reveal Trailer with Lilith
“The only good comes from humans”
The discussion also raises Lilith’s actual plan, which we won’t reveal yet due to spoilers. While she officially wants to prepare Sanctuary for a war, she has rather strange methods to do so.
Lilith’s idea, or at least that of her followers, is to “eliminate the weak.” Therefore, all those who do not believe in her must die. In a world, where there are already practically no humans, that is probably not a good idea.
Even all the dangers that Sanctuary is supposedly exposed to come only from Lilith herself. Nothing of that has been truly confirmed. She could simply be lying and using people for her true goals.
Other players argue that the angel Inarius is no better. He only cares for his children when it suits him and does not shy away from murder and genocide against them.
User yogi-in-the-forest therefore ponders: “I think the story is that reality itself is evil and there is no good in angels or demons. The only good comes from humans.”
The discussion even veers off in some places, criticizing the Horadrim and praising one of the fanatics from earlier installments. One should have simply followed Zoltun Kuls’ plan and lead the humans back to their former power. If you need a refresher here, you can find the summary of the story here:
Throne and Liberty is set to release in the second half of 2023. However, there has been much criticism in recent months, particularly regarding the combat system and the PvP focus. A YouTuber was able to participate in a test and explains why he is very excited about the game.
What is happening with Throne and Liberty? In 2022, the new MMORPG sounded like a title that many players had been waiting for. Great graphics, stylish battles, a special weather system, and a large game world where you can climb and fly. Plus, the focus on PC and consoles.
Even we at MeinMMO are now skeptical, but we have not been able to play ourselves yet. However, the YouTuber Shikku participated in a test about which he is also allowed to speak openly. He is very enthusiastic about it.
You can watch the latest trailer here:
Start video
Throne and Liberty – Summer Game Fest Trailer
Throne and Liberty is better than you think, and I’ll explain why
What does the YouTuber say? In his video, he lists various things that he appreciates about Throne and Liberty. It starts with the graphics and optimization.
He describes the game world as very lively, atmospheric, and beautiful, and he had an incredible amount of fun running around and exploring. This is rather unusual for him, as his focus usually lies on battles and PvP. Even with large player numbers or many effects, the MMORPG had no major issues.
He also praises the dungeons, which are completely open. Anyone can enter them at any time. The further you progress in these, the more difficult they are supposed to become. They are important for leveling up well, as you can grind good EXP there. Shikku also explains that dungeons are closed during the night. You can only spend 3 hours at a time in them before night falls for an hour in the game world.
However, his highlight is that PvP is active in the dungeons, so rogues can intervene in fights at any time and rob other players of their progress. Overall, he was positively surprised by the PvP. Even though there are many safe zones, especially at the beginning of the game, there were constant PvP battles.
This is also because almost every event in the world of Throne and Liberty – including every world boss – automatically marks players for PvP.
You can watch the full video here:

The gathering of materials in the game world should be very simple: You see something, you pick it up. You do not need any special tools or skills for it. The YouTuber, who is not a big fan of life skills, likes this.
Crafting is also kept simple but is supposed to play an important role. According to Shikku, you can customize your items with your desired stats and only need to gather the appropriate materials for it. The stronger the equipment becomes, the more and rarer the required materials will be. There are also set bonuses, for which you need to collect certain items, something that no one managed to accomplish in this test.
There is also praise from the YouTuber for:
The guild halls and special guild bosses that need to be attacked together
The transformations into animals, like the eagle for gliding
The progression, which does slow down over time, but is overall not as bad as everyone has always claimed
The game punishes you for solo play
What does he say about the combat system? Shikku actually loves action combat systems with big animations and lots of movement. Therefore, he did not like Throne and Liberty at first. However, he has now become addicted to the combat system.
This is primarily because, as time goes on, it becomes deeper, you can switch between two weapons, and it places a strong focus on group play. You need a group for many contents, and through collaboration, a very special and much better gaming experience arises. However, solo players do not have this good experience.
The YouTuber even says: The game punishes you for solo play.
Also, for mass PvP in the endgame, the combat system is better suited because it is more tactical and – due to the smaller animations – less prone to desynchronization.
How are the reactions? Under the video, numerous comments are gathering that express their joy over the positive coverage. Many of them have played Lineage 2 or similar MMORPGs themselves and are unbothered by PvP or the high grind.
The user SharpAD writes:
It is sad that most Western players will not even make it to the endgame. It will be packed with so much social and fun content that it won’t get boring for many years. People who have played Lineage 2 will have a lot of fun with this. Sieges, battles for farming spots, battles for epic bosses, etc. It will just be epic.
For a specific target audience, Throne and Liberty seems to be just the right game. However, there is also criticism, especially due to the PvP in the open world. This does not appeal to many theme park and PvE fans. Lineage 2 itself was always a niche game in the West.
Some also criticize that Shikku did not comment on the shop or the autoplay.
What do you think after the video about Throne and Liberty? Do you still have hope for the MMORPG, or are you more put off?
In Pokémon GO the event Dark Flames has been running for the last few days. However, this has led to some criticism from certain trainers.
What was this event about?The Dark Flames event focused on the Fire and Dark Pokémon types.
In line with this, Pokémon GO introduced a rather unusual component to the game: Through a collector challenge, players could choose a path that determined which type of monsters spawned more from the smoke.
The tasks of the limited research were also influenced. Trainers were thus allowed to shape the event to some extent.
At the same time, Pokémon GO set a rather short timeframe for the event. It ran only from June 29 to July 2 and introduced Turtonator as a new Pokémon that players should raid.
For some trainers, it turned out that this timeframe was perhaps a bit tight.
Trainers still lack certain monsters, and the event ends already
This is what players say: The event has now ended, but some trainers criticize that they did not have enough opportunities to experience all the content. Especially the research was not easy for some to solve, as they simply lacked the right monsters.
Several posts in the reddit community for Pokémon GO (via reddit) report problems finding the required Dark and Fire type Crypto-Pokémon (via reddit). They were needed to complete the research in order to redeem them.
However, some players simply could not find the corresponding grunts that had Fire or Dark monsters within the short time. If one did not have a corresponding monster in storage, completing the task became difficult.

Other trainers, however, report that although they have monsters of the appropriate type, they do not actually want to redeem them – because some Crypto-Pokémon are very strong attackers.
I can hardly find grunts, let alone the types I need, says a user (via reddit).
I just looked for Fire&Crypto and had quite a selection. But I hate redeeming due to the Star Dust costs, and Cryptos are useful, emphasizes another (via reddit).
I couldn’t finish it, just because of that (via reddit)
That’s why you always hoard a little of everything, comments another (via reddit).
Additionally, the short duration of the event was criticized regarding raids (via reddit). Because if you wanted to utilize the raids but didn’t want to invest money, you needed either the coins from several days for raid and remote raid passes, or at least the opportunity to use the free daily pass.
How did you perceive the event? Was it suitable for you in terms of content and duration, or would you have preferred it differently? Let us know in the comments!
In Destiny 2 there is a weapon that every game developer and weapon design lead probably fears. Its name: Telesto. Its mission: To be buggy. After Bungie recently gave it a lot of attention with a mini-Telesto event, the queen of bugs is showing once again that she has no intention of giving up. Here is bug number 42 from Season 21.
What is going on with Telesto again? Having a truly unique weapon in a game is great. However, in Destiny 2, it seems a curse lies upon this very unique weapon.
The Destiny developers probably now have the utmost respect for this fusion rifle, because with the current bug, it is already broken for the 42nd time and seems unwilling to be tamed in the future.
It’s like a curse that primarily lies on the little purple orbs of Telesto. They are sort of like sticky mines and explode with a delay. The game can’t handle these things at all and is causing problems again in Season 21.
With Update 7.1.0.3, Bungie actually wanted to fix the bug that allowed both the workhorse and Telesto to damage enemies through walls or other geometry.
With the workhorse, that worked well. However, the fusion rifle Telesto has now become even stranger, as a player reports on the Destiny Reddit.

“Forget the Witness! Telesto will be the Final Form”
This is Telesto Bug number 42: One might almost think that it isn’t Destiny 2 that is working towards its final form in the upcoming DLC, but rather Telesto.
At least the persistence with which the weapon repeatedly causes problems is incredible. After all, the latest bug has not yet led to a deactivation.
As the player Treatments_157, who claims to know Telesto very well, reports, you can still equip the weapon and discover its currently strange behavior.
It seems that Update 7.1.0.3 has changed the collision hitbox with which Telesto sticks to objects while the hitbox for explosion damage remained intact.
This means that the bolts of the fusion rifle no longer sink into surfaces as usual and float oddly in the air.
The spread of the bolts is now much larger as well, which leads to greater damage variations and even causes targets to be hit less accurately.
With the traditional projectiles of the automatic rifle workhorse, Bungie’s solution worked well. But apparently not for the bolt-throwing Telesto.
The weapon is so crazy that it even once wanted to take over Destiny 2 completely:
Telesto is just cult: Some players take the situation with humor and see the many bugs as part of the weapon’s character. Consequently, the comments are also quite funny.
A player CelestialAxolotl comments on the Reddit post: “In reality, Telesto is working towards the final form, not the Witness.”
And when you look at the bolts of Telesto and the portal in the Traveler right now, you could actually draw suspicious color parallels.
The player BitterGreen even believes: “Telesto is the final form!” and beren0073 comments for Telesto by responding: “I am not trapped here with you, you are trapped here with me!”
After all, JJroks543 now feels comfortable in Destiny 2 again and says: “It feels so warm and cozy to have a new Telesto bug out there. It just hasn’t been the same without [Telesto] smashing the fabric of reality once per season.”
While the Destiny player MendigoBob believes he has stumbled upon a hot lead:
THIS is the missing piece of the puzzle. The reason why the servers are so bad this season. We haven’t had a Telesto bug! If we think about it, Telesto is the balance of the servers. It breaks so that the rest of the game doesn’t collapse.
One thing is for sure: Telesto has gained a certain notoriety for its numerous malfunctions in Destiny 2 over time. In the community, the weapon is often humorously referred to as the “Queen of Bugs”. Also because hardly any player in Destiny has not yet become “TelestotseleT”. It is like an unwritten Destiny law that needs to be broken.
What are your experiences with Telesto in Destiny 2? Have you also experienced the effects of its bugs or have you so far, despite the high number, been spared from them? Feel free to write your personal Telesto stories in the comments.
