The creators of the best SF strategy game on Steam are now making one about Star Trek – „What a wonderful surprise“

The creators of the strategy hit Stellaris on Steam today announced a new game: Star Trek: Infinite. The community is excited about the trailer and is looking forward to the new title of the sci-fi franchise.

Paradox Entertainment is a Swedish publisher known primarily for its historical strategy simulations in the gaming industry.

The company has also gained acclaim in the science fiction sector with Stellaris, a celebrated game among strategy fans.

This year, Star Trek: Infinite will follow as another space simulation from the game creators in collaboration with developer Nimble Giant Entertainment.

Here you can see the trailer for Star Trek: Infinite:

Become an intergalactic fleet captain

Star Trek: Infinite will be a large-scale strategy game where you command an entire space fleet. You can choose from four different galactic powers:

  • the United Federation of Planets
  • the Romulan Star Empire
  • the Cardassian Union
  • the Klingon Empire

Each of the powers has specific characteristics and backstories. The quests also vary depending on which of the four realms you choose.

As a commander, you will have to make tough decisions, explore other worlds, and engage with other civilizations. In terms of the story, Star Trek Infinite is set several decades before Star Trek: The Next Generation.

How is the community reacting? Under the trailer on YouTube, many users express excitement about the announcement of the new game, even though for some, the news came as quite a surprise.

Several users are also directly comparing the game to Stellaris:

  • Or Gluzman: ‘Wow, the new Stellaris DLC looks amazing.’
  • andromidius: ‘Finally a “sequel” to the classic game “Birth of the Federation 4X” from the 90s. A mix of Stellaris, Crusader Kings, and Star Trek: Armada would be perfect.’
  • Eschkabibbel: ‘Holy cow, what a wonderful surprise! To say I’m excited would be an understatement! I’ve been waiting so long for a game like this! I’m really, really excited! Thank you so much to Paradox and Nimble Giant Entertainment! I can’t wait!’

MMORPG Lost Ark makes one of its hardest raids easier – Are we too bad and too mean in the West?

Raids are necessary in Lost Ark to progress further. They provide you with new equipment and allow you to reach higher gear scores. However, they are tough and demand a lot from you. This is something that is set to change soon.

What will happen to the raids in Lost Ark?

  • Smilegate and Amazon have already announced that raids will be adjusted for us in the West.
  • In the beginner raids Argos, Valtan, and Vykas, mechanics have already been toned down, especially those that could wipe the entire group immediately.
  • Now another boss is set to be affected, the Clown Kakul-Saydon. The reason seems to be that players in the West are simply not good enough – and also too unfriendly.

What is changing? With the June update next week, Kakul-Saydon will be adjusted. However, the exact details of these changes are still unknown.

Community manager Roxx says: The changes do not focus on removing mechanics or making content too simple, but on making wipe mechanics less punishing. (via mmorpg.com) It is not explained how this will be possible without making the raid easier.

If you want to prepare for the clown, you can check out this guide. It’s surprisingly often that the phrase comes up: … otherwise everyone dies.

Changes only in the West – Are we too bad or too toxic?

Why are there these changes? Roxx further explains in the interview that this step is being taken to make it easier for new and returning players to catch up and reintegrate. This aspect is supposed to be the main focus of this year, according to the community manager.

The changes to the raids are also only happening for us in the West; in Korea and Russia, the bosses will remain as they are. The exact reasons for this are only speculation. However, the two most apparent reasons can be quickly explained:

Either Western players are simply worse players than in Korea. This assumption has often been hinted at, when Koreans laughed at us for the bosses we had trouble with.

Or our community is simply too toxic. That gatekeeping is a major problem in Lost Ark is no longer a secret. If worse players can trigger fewer or even no wipes at all, better players would likely be more willing to include them in their groups.

What other changes are there? Other raids will not be adjusted for the time being. Roxx states that they want to address issues like the aforementioned gatekeeping and other problems. However, there is no concrete information on this.

What do you think of the changes to Kakul-Saydon? Do you think it was necessary to tone down the boss? Or are you rather annoyed that even the toughest raids in Lost Ark are becoming easier? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.

Diablo 4: The Trail of the Pilgrim – Quest Solution

In the region of Kehjistan in Diablo 4 you will find a side quest called “The Pilgrim’s Footsteps”. This guide contains location and solution.

How do I get the quest “The Pilgrim’s Footsteps”? To obtain the side quest, you first need to find an old book. This is located in the Amber Sand region in Kehjistan, northwest of the imperial library.

If you have already conquered the stronghold “Altar of Despair,” you can ride or walk west from the waypoint that you unlocked.

Along the way, you will encounter numerous groups of enemies, especially if you walk along the map edge and thus along the water – so equip yourself well for that.

Here you will find the quest, northwest of the imperial library – our interactive map is happy to help

Once you have clicked on and read the old book, you receive the task to follow the pilgrim’s journey. The statue you are supposed to travel to is now marked on your map with a small blue circle.

Follow the route to the blue circle and you will reach the statue.

How do I complete the quest “The Pilgrim’s Footsteps”? To complete the quest, you need to use an emote, similar to the “Forsake the Mother” quest.

Here you need to stand before the statue and perform the emote “Follow.” If you cannot find this emote in your emote wheel, you will learn below how to customize it.

Once you have performed the emote, a chest with loot will appear. By opening this, you complete the side quest.

How to use and change emotes? Here are the keys for mouse and keyboard as well as controller:

  • Keyboard: Open the emote menu with “E”
    • Use the mouse wheel to switch the emote tab
  • Controller: Open the emote menu with “D-Pad Up”
    • Use L1/R1 or LB/RB to switch the emote tab

Once you are in the emote menu, press “Triangle” or “Y” on the controller or select “Customize” with the mouse. In this menu, you can swap your emotes:

What are emotes good for? With emotes, it is possible to communicate with other players in Diablo 4. Additionally, you can interact with various shrines to receive certain bonuses.

If you have questions about the emotes or the quest, feel free to leave a comment. We are also open to further ideas for Diablo 4 guides.

By the way: To quickly exit a dungeon, you can use your emote wheel.

Pokémon GO: Crypto-Articuno Counter – The 20 Best Attackers in the Raid Guide

The best counters against Crypto Articuno in Pokémon GO are summarized in this raid guide. We show you here on MeinMMO which monsters and movesets you should use to quickly defeat the legendary monster.

Which Pokémon is it? Articuno is a legendary Pokémon from the first generation of games, belonging to the types Ice and Flying. Due to the machinations of Team GO Rocket, it can now be caught in its Crypto form, which boosts its attack value by 20%, but simultaneously weakens its defense. This makes it particularly interesting for use in raid battles.

When can you get it? Crypto Articuno will defend Crypto Raids of level 5 starting on June 10, 2023. It will be available on weekends until further notice. However, you can only participate on-site – remote raids are not possible.

By the way: You can get Galar Articuno in the daily adventure incense.

The best counters against Crypto Articuno in raids

  1. Crypto Tyranitar with Smack Down and Stone Edge
  2. Mega Aerodactyl with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
  3. Rhydon with Smack Down and Stone Edge
  4. Rhyperior with Smack Down and Rock Wrecker
  5. Crypto Stoutland with Smack Down and Meteor Beam
  6. Terrakion with Smack Down and Stone Edge
  7. Crypto Ampharos with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
  8. Lycanroc with Smack Down and Meteor Beam
  9. Tyranitar with Smack Down and Stone Edge
  10. Mega Stoutland with Smack Down and Meteor Beam
  11. Stoutland with Smack Down and Meteor Beam
  12. Amagarga with Rock Throw and Meteor Beam
  13. Monargoras with Rock Throw and Meteor Beam
  14. Mega Blaziken Y with Fire Spin and Overheat
  15. Crypto Aerodactyl with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
  16. Crypto Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash
  17. Crypto Geodude with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
  18. Ampharos with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
  19. Alola Geodude with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
  20. Mega Charizard Y with Fire Spin and Overheat

Weaknesses of Crypto Articuno: Due to its type, Crypto Articuno is weak against Rock-type attacks. Alternatively, you can also focus on Steel, Fire, or Electric attacks.

Is there a shiny version of Crypto Articuno? Yes, with a bit of luck you might encounter a shiny Crypto Articuno after the battle for the first time. You can recognize it by its slightly lighter blue body.

How many trainers do you need? To defeat Crypto Articuno, you should be at least three and have enough revived gems besides the right counters. If you want to defeat Articuno without the Crypto items, you should look for a few more trainers for support.

We have summarized what highlights the current season “Hidden Gems” brings for you.

A new game for Steam, PS5 and Xbox looks like an old Diablo – Completely without live service

There are many action RPGs that are inspired by Diablo. A pixelated Diablo-like is finally getting a sequel and is set to release on Steam soon. Hammerwatch 2 (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch) offers many new features and completely forgoes live service.

What kind of game is Hammerwatch 2? Hammerwatch 2 is a classic action RPG in the style of Diablo. Its predecessor was already an action RPG; Heroes of Hammerwatch was then a rogue-lite.

In contrast, Hammerwatch 2 focuses on its direct predecessor and aims to expand on it significantly.

Hammerwatch 2 does not impress with next-gen graphics but offers a pixelated look reminiscent of the Super Nintendo era, like Chained Echoes.

Start video
Hammerwatch 2 Announcement Trailer

Open World as the centerpiece of Hammerwatch 2

What does Hammerwatch 2 offer? In a new developer video, some features were presented. Unlike its predecessors, Hammerwatch 2 is intended to be a larger action-adventure experience.

While the first part offered a rather simple class design with a few active and passive skills, the latest installment aims to expand the classes. Mentioned are things like

  • multiple damage types
  • a significantly larger selection of active and passive abilities with additional side abilities
  • each class is to receive a ranged alternative

Another character development feature includes the addition of loot and various weapons. While Hammerwatch 2 will not be as complex as Path of Exile 2, it still offers possibilities for development.

The mission structure is set to expand with decision-making options and fewer monotonous quests. However, the true centerpiece of Hammerwatch 2 is the new open world.

The new open world not only offers locations and NPCs from whom you can obtain quests and items but also diverse environments. The dungeons and areas you traverse are a mix of randomly generated and handcrafted locations.

Hammerwatch 2 aims to build on its two predecessors and expand many features.

When will Hammerwatch 2 be released? There is no specific release date yet. On the Steam page, it only states Available Soon. A release in 2023 seems likely.

The game will be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch in addition to Steam.

The Summer Games Fest 2023 also presented new games and trailers.

5 Games on PS4 that are so beautiful that you don’t need a PS5 yet

With the leap to the PS5, Sony’s latest games are becoming increasingly high-quality. However, there are still some graphical highlights on the PS4 that do not require the PS5 version. We show you which titles have particularly impressed the MeinMMO editorial team and offer us the most beautiful graphics on the PS4.

Many games are now hardly distinguishable from movies. Thanks to ray tracing and co., today’s graphics look almost like reality. As the lifecycle of the PS5 has just begun, many more graphic masterpieces will see the light of day in the coming years.

However, the previous generation already offered some graphical blockbusters: Ghost of Tsushima invited players to explore the picturesque landscape of Tsushima even on the PS4. And inFamous Second Son provided a true fireworks display of effects, leaving us in awe.

Therefore, we have compiled a video with some examples on the PS4 for which we do not need a PS5.

The top 5 of the MeinMMO editorial team can be admired here:

Thanks to the PS4 Pro, the performance of the console generation and thus the graphics of the games were elevated to a higher level. The cutscenes and the game itself offered a beautiful sight.

The same is also true for the PS3 era. There were also impressive games on this console that we would still insert into the console today because of their graphics.

LoL: A pro was physically so broken at 23 that he had to quit – apparently returning now and many are watching

The Chinese player Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao is considered the best ADC that League of Legends has ever seen. However, at just 23 years old, Uzi had to end his professional career in LoL; his body couldn’t keep up. Now, at 26, he is planning his return to EDward Gaming, as rumors suggest. It would be his second attempt at a comeback.

Why did Uzi have to end his career so early?

  • Uzi started playing professionally at the age of 15. He came directly from the solo queue to Royal Never Give Up and played with the team until May 2020.
  • Uzi was known for his “mechanical brilliance” – he clicked faster and better than any other ADC. His reaction time was fantastic.
  • However, his lifestyle apparently took a toll on him. By the age of 23, doctors confirmed he had the arms of a 50-year-old. He also suffered from diabetes.
  • Uzi ended his career in 2020, at the age of 23.

7 Facts about LoL that only true veterans know

This is the current state: As reported from China and confirmed by the CEO of Team WE, Uzi is currently negotiating his return to the Chinese professional league LPL with Team EDward Gaming, which finished second in the LPL Spring Season 2023. However, they failed in the LPL playoffs and finished third.

At EDward Gaming, ADC Leaver is under criticism after underperforming recently. EDward Gaming has already promoted “TheSnake” from the academy.

Uzi could face the currently best ADC in the world on Saturday

If the deal goes through and Uzi makes the starting lineup, his first game would likely be against Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk, the currently best ADC player in the world, who has just won the “MSI 2023” tournament with JDG Gaming. The first game would be on Saturday, June 10.

At EDG, Uzi would play alongside the strong supporter Meiko.

Will it work out? Nobody knows. Uzi returned a few years ago but couldn’t establish himself, failing against younger players and his own health. Ultimately, he only played 9 games for his new team before stepping back to stream.

At 26, Uzi is actually already too old for a LoL pro; few play into this age, and even fewer successfully return after a career break. The US star Bjergsen did not fully succeed in his comeback:

This is being observed and hotly debated on Reddit. Especially in China, this is a big deal.

Pokémon GO brings a replacement event on Sunday due to poor shiny chances – Trainers complain

In Pokémon GO there was recently a bug that affected your shiny chances in remote raids. Now Niantic wants to compensate you with a replacement event, but many trainers are not pleased. We at MeinMMO will tell you when the event takes place and why it is received poorly in the community.

Which raids are involved? Since the beginning of June, you can find the legendary lake trio in level 5 raids, but only in their respective regions. Vesprit, Tobutz, and Selfe are regional Pokémon.

While Vesprit dominates the raids here in Europe and can therefore be battled on-site, many trainers have completed remote raids for Tobutz and Selfe – hoping for a shiny specimen. But the shiny chances were relatively low, as the data collected by a Japanese website showed just a few days ago.

After the remote raids were recently downgraded, many players suspected a covert change by the developers. However, they promptly apologized on Twitter and stated that it was a bug. Now they have come forward again and you will be compensated for the issues with an event.

On Sunday there will be a replacement event with Selfe, Vesprit, and Tobutz

What kind of replacement event is that? As the developers announced on the evening of June 8, 2023, via their Twitter account, a special replacement event in the form of level 5 raids featuring the legendary Pokémon of the lake trio is set to take place this weekend.

Recommended editorial content

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

This is what the developers say (via twitter.com): “Trainers, we apologize for the technical issues that occurred during the last encounters with Selfe, Vesprit, and Tobutz. To fix this, Selfe, Vesprit, and Tobutz will appear in 5-star raids in their respective regions on June 11 from 11 AM to 5 PM local time.”

When will the event take place? The raids with the lake trio will run on Sunday, June 11, 2023, from 11 AM to 5 PM local time. So you have 6 hours to encounter Vesprit raids more frequently in Germany.

von Patrick Freese

Will there also be Selfe and Tobutz? The other two Pokémon of the lake trio will not be available in Germany. If you still want to catch them, you can do so via remote raid in their respective regions. You can encounter Tobutz in America and Greenland. Selfe, on the other hand, is active in the Asia-Pacific region. With a bit of luck, you might also catch it as a shiny this time.

Are there any additional bonuses? Yes, in addition to the numerous raids that will appear during the event period, the limit for remote raids has also been increased. From Saturday, June 10 at 12 PM local time to Sunday, June 11 at 11:59 PM local time, you can complete up to 15 remote raids per day.

Trainers who participated in remote raids of the lake trio from June 1 at 10 AM to June 6 at 5 AM German time will also have their remote raid passes replaced and will additionally receive another free remote raid pass as compensation.

Trainers disappointed: “That means fewer Crypto-Artktos raids”

However, the announced replacement event does not bring joy to every trainer. Many feel this compensation is simply insufficient or complain about the timing.

Criticism of the bonuses: Trainers particularly criticize the fact that the legendary monsters will also not be available in all regions during the special replacement event. Instead, shiny hunters have to rely on the expensive remote raid passes again. Additionally, trainers wished for an increased shiny chance as compensation (via reddit.com):

  • GhostHarvester: Raid day – yay; Still bound to their respective regions – not surprising, but phew.
  • Sad_Raspberry_5981: Not really a raid day. They don’t mention anything about increased shiny chances.
  • Seeteuf3l: I was pretty excited until I heard that they are available in their own regions.

Criticism of the timing: Another point of criticism is that the raids on the weekend coincide with the new crypto raids featuring Crypto-Artktos. The legendary monster will first be available in the special Team Rocket raids from Saturday but only on weekends.

For this reason, some trainers are concerned that there could be fewer crypto raids due to the replacement event, and they would miss out on opportunities for Crypto-Arktos. Additionally, Selfe, Vesprit, and Tobutz will still be available in raids until June 15, so from their perspective, there would have been plenty of time left to catch shinies. Comments like the following can be seen (via reddit.com):

  • Fillain: “It’s nice that they are giving back the passes, but what is special about this event? That also means fewer Crypto-Arktos raids…”
  • Pokefan317: “Yes, but we actually already planned to do Arktos raids on Sunday. The last of us got our Vesprit shiny on Wednesday, so we won’t even be doing Vesprit this weekend. So yeah, not a good thing!”
  • SilverbackGorillaBoy: “Once you’ve gotten a lake spirit from each of them, you’re done. They’re useless and will never be useful. They’re still in raids for another week, more than enough time for people who want to hunt shinies to get them in quite a few raids. Most of us were looking forward to Crypto-Arktos day, and instead they’re pumping these trash Pokémon out all day to overshadow Arktos.”

But there are also trainers who don’t find it that bad. Crypto-Arktos will also still be available in raids on the upcoming weekends, so some want to seize their opportunity then.

What’s your opinion on the replacement event? Did you wish for additional bonuses? Or would you have preferred to focus more on Crypto-Arktos over the weekend? Let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments.

There’s quite a bit happening in Pokémon GO right now. We’ll show you all the events in June and which ones are worth it.

Fortnite finally lets you ride dinosaurs – gameplay trailer shows heavy Transformers weapon and more for season ‘Wilderness’

Chapter 4 Season 3 in Fortnite is starting and it brings a lot of new features. This was now shown in the gameplay trailer.

What’s happening in Fortnite: The new season “Wilderness” in Fortnite starts on June 9, 2023 after a server downtime that brings the update. But while everyone is waiting for the start of the new season, Epic is releasing more information about the contents.

Also included is a gameplay trailer, which clearly shows what you can expect from the new season. In addition, there is a cinematic trailer for the new season in Fortnite.

We’re embedding the gameplay trailer here for you:

Fortnite: The Official Gameplay Trailer for Chapter 4 Season 3

What does the new gameplay trailer for Fortnite show?

In the trailer, there are some things to see that had already been suspected or even leaked. Wilderness seems to bring some new features. These include:

The new Transformers weapon: In the trailer, Optimus Prime is seen with the new “Cybertron Cannon”. It seems to function similarly to the minigun in handling, but fires a concentrated laser beam with great force.

The kinetic boomerang: A new weapon that returns when you throw it.

The infrared DMR: The DMR is also included in this season, but apparently in an infrared variant. This allows you to find your opponents even in chaotic areas – it should be useful in the jungle.

New rifle: The trailer also briefly shows the new “large drum rifle”.

The new biome: According to the description, the new environment will be located in the middle of the island, that is in the center of our map. Here you will now find a jungle that hides mysterious temples.

Riding Raptors: The Raptors are back but can now also be ridden. A helpful and probably deadly vehicle for the jungle.

Mud sliding: Apparently, the mud in the jungle gives you more speed while sliding, and you can also blend in better with the surroundings – as it seems to stick to you.

Tree sliding: You can see players sliding Tarzan-style over the trees in the jungle. This is likely to contribute to movement as well.

What else is new in the season remains to be seen – over the course of the day, more information is likely to come in. You can find everything important in our overview of Chapter 4, Season 3 in Fortnite.

FIFA 23 starts new event „TOTS Award Winners“ – leaks & info

In FIFA 23, the “TOTS Award Winners” are set to be released on Friday, June 9, 2023. What kind of event is this? We gather all leaks and information here.

When does TOTS Award Winners start? The start of the next event is already clear: It will be on June 9, 2023, at 7:00 PM – the typical FIFA event time. This is also announced by a corresponding loading screen in Ultimate Team. It follows the Serie A TOTS.

So far, players have actually expected that the “Ultimate TOTS” would come on this day, a collection of the best players from the past Team of the Season weeks.

Now it seems that there will be a new event called “TOTS Award Winners” instead, or at least in addition. But this also seems to go in a very similar direction.

What is TOTS Award Winners in FIFA 23?

What does the event bring? Officially, there is currently only the loading screen that indicates the event. The card design itself already points to a connection with the “Team of the Season”.

What do leaks say? Most of the information about the event comes from leaks, such as from the well-known leaker “Fut Sheriff” and the account “FIFA U Team” on Twitter.

Accordingly, the cards are said to feature players who have won various awards in the European top 5 leagues. These could include top scorers, the best goalkeepers, or even the “Players of the Year”.

This already significantly narrows the field of possible cards. According to “Fut Sheriff”, top players like Mbappé, Haaland, Osimhen, or Bellingham are expected to be featured in the event.

However, these cards currently seem to be only unofficial leaks. Whether and in what form these players ultimately appear in the event remains to be seen.

However, it seems these cards are now replacing the “Ultimate TOTS”, as some of them would have been clear candidates for that team.

As soon as more information about the event is known, we will keep you updated as usual.

What else is happening in FIFA 23? Recently, the football god himself made headlines: Zlatan Ibrahimović emotionally retired from his career. Now players are demanding a special card for him in FIFA 23.

Pokémon GO: Events in June 2023 – All Dates and Bonuses

All events in June 2023 at Pokémon GO in the overview with dates and details. We show you all known bonuses and which events are especially worth attending.

What does the overview show? Here you will find all already known events planned for June 2023 at Pokémon GO. Among other things, spotlight and raid hours will take place, as well as community days and special events.

For some, only the names are known, while for others, details are already available. In this case, we link to the corresponding articles.

In any case, the new season “Hidden Gems” in Pokémon GO will start in June 2023. You can see the trailer here:

All events in June 2023 at Pokémon GO in the overview

In June, you can expect four spotlight hours and four raid hours. In the raids, you can encounter Pokémon like Vesprit and Mega-Sumpex. Various themed events will start with a community day.

We show you the events here in the overview. Below we will detail the dates that could be particularly worthwhile for you.

DateEvent
From June 1Research breakthrough with Zobiris*, Tanhel*, Ohrdoch*, Coiffwaff*. Viscora or eF-eM*
June 1 – June 15Raids with Selfe, Vesprit, Tobutz (depending on the region)
June 1 – June 15Mega-Raids with Mega-Sumpex*
June 3Research Day “Goldsuche”
June 5Crypto-Raids return to the game
June 6 – June 12Water Festival: Beach Week
June 6Spotlight hour with Krabby*, Kabuto*, Krebscorps*, Scampisto* and Krabbox + triple catch XP
June 7Raid hour with Selfe, Vesprit, Tobutz (depending on the region)
June 10Community Day with Milza
From June 10Crypto-Raids of level 5 with Crypto-Arktos*, on weekends
June 11Replacement event: Raid Day with Selfe*, Vesprit* and Tobutz*
June 13Spotlight hour with Bithora* + double catch candy
June 14Raid hour with Selfe, Vesprit, Tobutz (depending on the region)
June 15 – June 29Anego in 5-star raids
June 15 – June 29Mega-Gewaldro* in Mega-Raids
June 16 – June 25Like day and night + Team GO Rocket takeover
June 20Spotlight hour with Sonnkern* + double candy for sending
June 21Raid hour with Anego
June 27Spotlight hour with Dodu* + double XP when evolving
June 28Raid hour with Anego
June 29 – July 6Heatran* in 5-star raids
June 29 – July 6Secret boss in raids

Which events are particularly worth it in June 2023?

These could be worth it: A large part of the events have only been announced by name, but there is already information on some that could be exciting.

  • Research Day “Goldsuche” (June 3): On this day you can encounter the Pokémon Raupy, Karpadorm Nasgnet, Zobiris and Schmerbe through limited research, whose Shiny rate will be increased on this day. So an exciting event for players who are looking for shiny monsters. Additionally, PokéStops can transform into golden PokéStops without the need for a gold lure module. This is how you get coins for Gierspenst.
  • Water Festival: Beach Week (June 6 – June 12): Here, among other things, the debut of the Pokémon Sankabuh will take place, as well as bonuses on strong throws. There will be extra candies. Additionally, the spawns will be mixed up considerably.
  • Like day and night + Team GO Rocket takeover (June 16 – June 25): The contents are still unknown, but it is clear that Team GO Rocket is launching a takeover. This raises hopes that during this period you can “unlearn frustration” and thus make some of the best Crypto attackers really useful.

Which further events will be added, and where more details will become known, remains to be seen for now.

However, it is certain that the new season “Hidden Gems” starting on June 1 will determine the events in Pokémon GO.

Diablo 4 Server Down, Queues, Error 300202 – What is going on?

Today, on June 8th, there are issues with the servers of Diablo 4. They have been intermittently unreachable. This results in long queues where players are currently stuck.

What is happening today in Diablo 4? A hotfix was released today that made changes to dungeons, world bosses, and an XP trick. However, since the release, there have been ongoing issues and brief server downtimes.

Some players report queue times over 30 minutes (via reddit). The message “Connecting to the Diablo IV services” also appears, sometimes causing the game to freeze right at that point.

What is the current status? At 11:50 PM, the servers are still problematic, with more and more players reporting they can now log in. Many are still stuck in the queue, and some are still experiencing error messages.

The problems affect both the servers in Europe and America.

What is behind error 300202? “An error occurred while logging in (Code 300202).” This is a message indicating that you cannot access the servers with your character.

It has primarily occurred on PlayStation and Xbox. It is now also appearing on PC, as well as code 1016.

A solution for the problem is updating graphics drivers, relogging, or checking your internet connection. However, the error message today is likely mainly due to the server crashes. We will keep you updated here.

What does Blizzard say? Blizzard has also recently added a note in BattleNet. It states:

We are currently investigating reports of login issues with Diablo IV and are working to resolve them as soon as possible.

While you wait for the return of Diablo 4, you can check out the new trailer for the biggest competitor. Path of Exile 2 showcased new gameplay during the Summer Game Fest:

Destiny 2: Server failure and emergency maintenance on 08.06. – A whole day full of error codes

In Destiny 2 has experienced increased server issues this week. The developer aimed to fix these and other difficulties today during a multi-hour background maintenance. However, what was supposed to happen unnoticed and without server downtime has caused the servers to be less than optimally accessible all day long. MeinMMO will keep you updated on the status.

Update history on server outages on June 8:

21:45: Our login was just successful. The servers are back online. Bungie will continue to monitor service stability as players try to log in.

21:00: The servers are now offline for the second time today for emergency maintenance. An update will be provided within 1 hour, which does not mean you can play again then. Apparently, the problems are deep and the support staff at Bungie are doing their best to get it all under control. Now we have to keep our fingers crossed that the second server downtime goes better.

20:30: Destiny 2 will be sent into emergency server maintenance for the second time today due to the ongoing error messages and will therefore go offline. Downtime begins at 21:00. An end time has not yet been announced. Players should prepare for updates.

19:00: The community manager of Destiny 2 has issued the following statement to players regarding today’s ongoing issues:

We know it’s frustrating, and the team is working as hard and efficiently as possible. The live service is difficult, to be honest, but the team will share further updates via @BungieHelp. Don’t forget about the new developer account, as feedback is being sought here: @Destiny2Team” wrote Liana Ruppert via Twitter.

18:30: Bungie has responded to player reports and via Twitter stated that they are investigating the renewed increase of various error codes. However, no further information is available on that yet.

17:00: The guardianship is divided. While some have been able to play again since this afternoon, others are still receiving error codes, such as “Chicken”. An error code that usually occurs when there are connection problems with Destiny 2. However, Bungie has still not made a statement regarding these new errors that have occurred for some players after the maintenance.

12:30: Some players are still facing issues. While we were able to enjoy the Crucible on PC without problems, other players are currently receiving the error code “Chicken” and still cannot log in. So far, there is no official information from Bungie about whether this will require further action from the developer. We will keep an eye on it.

11:30: Bungie has now also reported that the servers are back online. Maintenance is complete and web functions have been reactivated. If you still have issues, you can report them directly in the Bungie forum.

11:16: Good news. The login is working again. Bungie hasn’t yet reached out via Twitter. But the servers seem to be back online. It looks good that everything will soon be online again as usual. We will give the all-clear as soon as the info is official.

10:22: Bungie has just changed the status of the background maintenance to emergency maintenance. Another update regarding the issues is expected to be provided within an hour. Where were you when the servers died?

10:00: Bungie would have ended the background maintenance by now if everything had gone as planned. But the servers are still offline – no one can play. Via Twitter, it was announced that they are still investigating the login issues with Destiny 2 and players should prepare for updates.

09:03: Bungie is aware of the problem that players are currently unable to log in to Destiny 2. “Weasel” error codes continue to occur.

08:00: The background maintenance has just started. Shortly after, the servers were no longer accessible. Bungie asks for a bit of patience while they investigate the problem.

Read the original article here:

This is what you need to know today: Destiny 2 players have faced various error codes in recent days that kicked them out of the game and severely impacted their playtime. This led to frustration and dissatisfaction within the community.

Bungie has reacted and decided to address these issues today, June 8, in a multi-hour background maintenance.

What was supposed to happen in the background, without the need for the Destiny 2 servers to be temporarily taken offline, did not go as planned.

  • Since 08:00, players have been unable to log into the game. The servers are unreachable – and this is happening while today is a public holiday in some parts of Germany.

MeinMMO continues to inform you about the current situation in this article and let you know when you can play again.

Background Maintenance on June 8 – All Times for Server Downtime

From maintenance to emergency server downtime: Early in the morning, Bungie informed players today that they planned a harmless background maintenance.

Destiny 2 will undergo a full-day backend maintenance starting in 2 hours today. After the maintenance begins, players can click on “Orbit” at the end of the activity to return to the title screen. Players who log in again should not expect any further interruptions.

Bungie stated this around 06:00 AM German time via Twitter

Here is the exact schedule for the maintenance:

  • At 06:00 AM German time, players were informed about the background work.
  • At 08:00 AM, Bungie started the maintenance. There were brief server disconnects.
  • The expected login should then be possible again around 10:00 AM.
Important: While background maintenance is ongoing, players may experience connection issues in the game. You may also have to contend with queues at login directly after the update.

Additionally, consider that third-party applications and the official companion app might not be accessible correctly for a while, so you won’t be able to use them.

But it never came to that. Shortly after the background maintenance began, everything stopped working.

Error Codes, Emergency Maintenance, and 2 Server Downtimes

Destiny 2 is struggling with persistent error codes: The troubleshooting in the background did not go as planned. Instead of a brief disruption, the Destiny servers have been completely unavailable since 08:00 AM.

  • Players could no longer log in
  • During login, an error message appeared stating that the servers are currently offline with a Weasel.
Nothing worked anymore – The planned background maintenance led to a complete outage of the servers

While it can be frustrating to temporarily not have access to the game, it is important to keep in mind that this maintenance is ultimately meant to lead to a more stable and smoother gaming experience.

MeinMMO will keep you updated about the progress and updates related to the background maintenance and inform you when the servers of the loot shooter are back online and stable. Therefore, we recommend players to check back regularly to stay informed about the current situation.

What are your experiences with the increased server issues in Destiny 2 and how have they impacted your gaming experience? Feel free to share your opinion with us by commenting.

But despite the server outage, Season 21 in Destiny 2 has been quite relaxed so far:

Unique card in Magic: The Gathering was originally supposed to cost $100,000, but is now worth $1 million – Here’s why it’s so valuable

As TCG Magic: The Gathering still comes up with something special after 30 years to ignite the collecting passion of fans. A special card will only be printed once, and collectors spare no expense or effort to secure “their treasure.”

What is this card about? On June 23, 2023, the highly anticipated crossover of Magic: The Gathering and The Lord of the Rings will be released. In addition to familiar characters from Middle-earth, the edition also includes a very special treasure:

The “The 1 of 1 Ring” is a card that will only be printed once, making it a true unique piece. Collector hearts are already racing at the sight of the borderless illustration that shines in foil printing – and especially because of the serial number 001 of 001.

The well-known collector Dan Brock has already put a bounty of $100,000 on the card. However, he clarified that this was only a “starting price” meant to get people talking.

1 Million Dollars for The One Card

This is the current price development: The unique card has not yet been released, but collectors are already outbidding each other. Football player Cassius Marsh just raised his bid from $150,000 to half a million but has already been outbid (via Twitter).

Dave & Adam’s, a company that has been dealing in collectible cards, comics, and signed memorabilia for 30 years, has now put a bounty of one million dollars on the card.

The offer is valid only until July 17 – by then, the card must be found.

Conveniently, Dave & Adams is also selling the matching booster boxes in which the valuable card can be found – at a pre-order price of $424.95, which is just under €395. With 12 packs per box, that makes almost 33 euros per booster.

This price is indeed significantly higher than what one would normally pay for regular boosters, but not unusual for special editions.

For Dave & Adam’s, this is a win-win situation, as they profit from the sold boxes and might not even have to pay out the bounty – for example, if the lucky finder does not want to sell, only contacts after July 17, or there is simply a better offer by then.

Card shop makes unusual offer

Are there any other offers? There are indeed. LOTR fans, who are less concerned about money and more about the flavor, might also enjoy the “bounty” from Moxie Card Shop.

Because they are offering to meet around a cozy campfire with costumes and snacks and to let the card go up in flames together – as it should be.

Whoever finds the card hopefully does not make the mistake of showing it on YouTube beforehand. Because then the Wizards of the Coast will quickly become unpleasant and send the infamous Pinkertons after the supposed lucky finder.

Diablo 4: Deliverance of the Mother – Quest Solution

Near the town of “Ked Bardu”, in Diablo 4, you will find a side quest named “Reject the Mother”. This guide includes location and solution.

How do I get the quest “Reject the Mother”? To obtain the side quest, you first need to find a note. This is located in the Tusmaa Rift southeast of the waypoint “Ked Bardu” among smaller rocks and some enemies.

Once you have clicked on and read the note, you will be tasked with making your way to the statue and rejecting Lilith at her secret shrine. The statue of Lilith is now marked with a small blue circle.

The statue is hard to miss, as your quest marker leads you into a cave where it is surrounded by candles and sculptures.

How do I complete the quest “Reject the Mother”? To finish the quest, similar to the quest “Preserve the Ancient Traditions”, you must use an emote.

Here, you need to stand in front of the statue and perform the emote “No”. However, this emote is not included by default in your emote wheel. Further down, you will find out how to customize your wheel.

Here you will find the quest, southeast of Ked Bardu– our interactive map is happy to help.

How to use and change emotes? Here are the keys for mouse and keyboard as well as controller:

  • Keyboard: Opens the emote menu with “E”
    • Use the mouse wheel to switch the emote tab
  • Controller: Opens the emote menu with “D-pad up”
    • Use L1/R1 or LB/RB to switch the emote tab

When you are in the emote menu, press “Triangle” or “Y” on the controller or select “Customize” with the mouse. In this menu, you can swap your emotes:

What do emotes do? With the help of emotes, it is possible to communicate with other players in Diablo 4. Furthermore, you can interact with various shrines to receive certain bonuses.

If you have questions about the emotes or the quest, please leave a comment. We are also open to ideas for further guides.

And to quickly exit a dungeon, you can also use your emote wheel.
