In Diablo 4 there are certain items that can only be found rarely. Two of these items have so far been discovered by only a few players, which has led to discussions in the community.
While we were flooded with loot in the early betas of Diablo 4, the drop rate was reduced during the server slam. This has been maintained since the game’s release, as legendays are received regularly – unique items, however, are harder to find.
And two of them have hardly been obtained by any players so far. Under a tweet from community lead Adam Fletcher, the existence of the items is even questioned (via Twitter).
The grind for special loot is part of the endgame of Diablo 4. Here you get an insight:

Diablo 4: Insight into the Endgame
“Harlequin Crest” and “Grandfather”
What’s the deal with the “Uniques”? These unique items (“Uniques”) resemble the legendary items (“Legendarys”). They have special properties like legendaries, which cannot be transferred to other items.
One of the uniques is the helmet “Harlequin Crest”, which was very powerful in Diablo 2 and is referred to as “Shako” by the community. The coveted helmet gives you 4 ranks for each ability. Additionally, it increases your health by 1,000 points, grants you damage reduction, and reduces cooldowns.
The second rare item that hardly any player has found so far is the “Grandfather.” It is a two-handed sword that gives you a boost to your health, your damage, and your abilities (via Ginx).
How do you get the items? You receive them when you defeat certain bosses in Diablo 4 at World Tier 3. However, this is only possible from level 50, and you also need to complete a specific dungeon to increase the world tier.
The fact that both special items have so far been found by hardly anyone is causing discussions on social media.
“Some people’s patience has run out”
On the Subreddit of Diablo 4, u/Then-Lock-5964 notes: “People who complain about low drop rates for rare uniques will kill the game” and adds a comparison with farming items in Diablo 2:
If the developers listen to them and increase the drop rates for items like Grandfather and Shako (Harlequin Crest), the D2 aspect of farming for cool items will be destroyed, and people who want to spend more hours in the game will have no further incentives to keep playing.
There’s a reason why D2 lasted so long; a big part of that was the extremely rare items. Please understand, it’s okay if you as a player do NOT get EVERY SINGLE ITEM in the game on a silver platter. Damn it!
The post is from June 9 and already has 4,700 upvotes and 1,700 comments.
The user Dreadsock responds with: “LMAO (Laughing My Ass Off) about crying over increased drop rates less than a week after the official start.” and receives over 2000 upvotes for it. Many seem to share his opinion.
pp21 feels that “the patience and attention spans of many people are simply completely exhausted. Some people want instant gratification without having to grind through Diablo.” – 754 people agree with him through upvotes.
Others note that the comparison with looting in Diablo 2 is flawed. There, they had to put in hundreds of hours to even obtain valuable items, while here according to Gravijah, “some version of every item needed for the character, including uniques” has been acquired.
“The main difference is that in D2 I could trade a great unique for what I actually wanted. Here is a unique you don’t want, almost worthless. But yes, I agree that complaining so soon after launch is kind of silly,” adds Commercial_Juice_201 in the subreddit.
Most seem to agree that looting in Diablo 4 is good as it is and should not be changed.
Some people who spend a lot of time at the computer wear headsets – whether watching videos, gaming, or working. A gamer shaved his head live on stream on Twitch and discovered a suspicious dent.
What kind of stream was that? On June 3rd, the streamer curtoss held a charity stream on his Twitch channel. There, he raised money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, an organization for the research and treatment of blood cancers and lymphomas.
For charitable purposes, he shaved his head and discovered an elongated dent in the middle of his head.
How does the streamer react? curtoss immediately notes: ‘That’s the spot where my headset sits.’ He seems shocked and yells: ‘I have a damn dent from the headphones on my head! What the hell? I always thought that was just my hair!’
Here you can see his reaction in the clip:

How do the viewers react? Curtoss viewers react in the chat with laughing emotes and ‘HAHAHA’ spam. Some write that they also know someone who has this dent. Viewer NatoonieLive writes: ‘Oh, he has the gamer imprint!’
A viewer writes: ‘This guy has played so hard that his skull has changed because of it.’ Others note that he can simply wear a wig or a hat to cover the dent if necessary.

What do other gamers say about it? His clip is picked up and discussed in the r/headphones subreddit. There, some users note that this seems familiar to them. The comment from ADJ_Reflex gets over 150 upvotes:
‘This is nothing new, haha. Imprints from headsets have become a meme among many streamers. It’s nothing serious, just a temporary mark on the skin of the skull. Still, it’s funny to see how streamers react when they notice it.’
Is it dangerous? Since curtoss has hair over the skin, one automatically assumes that the imprint is only on the hair. However, the dent that shows underneath is only superficial because: more pressure is needed for a dent in the bone (via Kotaku).
Many of us will also have the ‘gamer imprint’. As several Reddit users point out, it is comparable to the imprint of glasses – also Daily Business for some of us and thus, it’s not a big deal.
The Korean Pokémon Association has permanently banned the 4 finalists of the South Korean “Pokémon Trainers Cup”. This also means that the players lose their ticket to participate in the World Championship, that is, the Pokémon World Championship.
Why were the players banned? The reason for the permanent ban is, according to the official Korean Pokémon website, that the players illegally altered their battle teams (pokemonkorea.co.kr).
According to “Nash,” one of the four banned players, they taught their Pokémon the move “Metronome” in protest – no other move (via Twitter).
When using Metronome, a random attack is chosen, whether or not the executing Pokémon knows it. Since the players’ Pokémon only mastered Metronome, the outcome of the matches was determined randomly. A tactical approach was not possible; everything depended on luck.

Why did the players protest? The players have been dissatisfied with the competition conditions in South Korea and other Asian countries for some time. In addition to suboptimal communication, according to DotEsports, the Best-of-One format is a heavily criticized issue.
While trainers in Europe and North America, for example, compete against each other three times (Best-of-Three) to determine who advances to the next round, players from some Asian associations are eliminated after just one match.
Nash, who was banned for his protest at the tournament in South Korea, also criticizes the competition conditions:
Our competition conditions were terrible this year. The organizers never talked to us and repeatedly made wrong formats/decisions. We registered Metronome teams in protest for the streamed final but were all disqualified and excluded from the Day2 invitation to the Pokémon Worlds.
Wolfe “Wolfey” Glick, a well-known YouTuber and Pokémon World Champion of 2016, also shared his thoughts on the incident as an outsider (via Twitter).
Wolfey believes the protest could have been a turning point if the Korean Pokémon Association had listened to the feedback and improved the competition conditions. It seems to him like an attempt to discredit the attention of the protest.
Additionally, Wolfey thinks the Korean Pokémon Association needs more oversight “if they make decisions this way.”
The four Pokémon players are not the only ones reprimanded by Nintendo for modifying games:
The special Nuke skin in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 was previously only available if you completed a tough challenge. Now the requirements have been relaxed, making the rewards easier to achieve. This has disappointed players who have already unlocked the skin.
What is this special skin? The “Nuke skin” is very rare, as you have to earn a Nuke in Warzone to obtain it. To even start working towards the Nuke, you had to complete a tough challenge and win five consecutive Warzone matches.
Once you lose a match, your progress was reset, and you had to start over. But that is now a thing of the past.
What has changed? The developer studio Raven Software, part of Activision, stated in a tweet on June 7:
“From now on, the Champions Quest is activated for all players in all Battle Royale modes! This week is your last chance to earn the current rewards of the Champion Quest before they expire. New rewards will come with Warzone2 Season 04.”

This means that the requirement to win five consecutive matches has been eliminated. Every player can now enter the zone and take on the Champions Quest.
However, the rewards are not just given out for free, as you still need to collect the necessary components to build the atomic bomb. After that, the bomb must be placed and defended.
By doing this, you secure the special Nuke skin, an emblem, a calling card, and a weapon talisman.
At least until the start of the new season on June 14, which will bring additional content. Including a new map:

“This is really not fair”
How does the community react to the change? Several users express their displeasure under the tweet. Streamer Cloakzy replies with a series of question marks, while content creator FaZe Swagg posts many L’s, which means L-Move, or Loser-Move.
Two short responses that still convey that both players are not exactly thrilled.
ModenasHD writes: “L-Move. This is really not fair for those who had to grind hard for the five victories. The skins are no longer a rarity.”
There is also discussion in the Subreddit “CODWarzone”. The user tallstan12 writes there: “It’s really frustrating considering so many players earned the 5 wins and completed the contract, even though the maximum number of Nuke attempts is limited to 4. Now they’re just given out to everyone and you have an unlimited number of attempts, lol.”
However, there are also opposing voices who view the change positively. Twitter user howtofeelnothin writes: “Actually, it’s a W (Win), as it was almost impossible for many players.”
Ashbach99 replies: “And that’s exactly the point, it shouldn’t be a gift.”
Good anime always need their own streaming service? Not necessarily. Because Netflix also offers some good anime.
If you want to watch the newest and most popular anime, you often have to rely on special streaming services – such as Crunchyroll, Hidive, Prime Video or many others. But even among the more general streaming services, like Netflix, there are some anime gems.
Therefore, today we present to you 5 good anime that you can simply watch with your Netflix subscription.
Romantic Killer
Alternative names: / Genres: Comedy, Romance Episodes: 12 (Loose End)
Anzu only needs three things in her life: chocolate, video games, and her cat. She simply isn’t interested in romance. But when she starts a poorly developed dating game, she suddenly encounters a strange creature named Riri, who declares Anzu to be “Test Subject 1” – with the goal of making her experience a typical “harem story” in real life.
Riri steals her chocolate, cat, and video games – and declares that she will only get them back if she engages with one of the many men that Riri now guides her towards. Anzu tries to resist the almost cliché encounters with her dream men, stumbling from one amusing situation to the next.

What to expect from Romantic Killer? Romantic Killer is one of those hidden gems that many have not noticed. But those who engage with the first episode will be rewarded with a surprisingly funny yet emotional story, full of laughs. Watching Anzu try to avoid all the “love traps” while only ensuring that the gentlemen fall even more at her feet is incredibly funny – even though the series takes on much more serious tones towards the end.
Vampire in the Garden
Alternative names: / Genres: Action, Fantasy, Drama Episodes: 5 (Completed)
A long time ago, vampires emerged from the darkness and multiplied rapidly. Within a few years, humanity was pushed back and now hides in a few large cities from the new rulers of the planet, shielded by huge walls and floodlights.
The young Momo has grown up in this sealed-off world, largely devoid of culture (like music and film), and only knows such things from stories.
The vampires, on the other hand, indulge in singing, music, and dance – while continuing the war against humanity. The aspiring queen of the vampires, Fine, participates in one of the final battles. When she meets Momo, who in her despair starts singing an old song, Fine is so enchanted that she abducts Momo. This is the beginning of a wild chase, a budding love, and the search for a way for humans and vampires to live together.

What to expect from Vampire in the Garden? The total duration of Vampire in the Garden is only about 130 minutes, so one can consider the series more as a “long movie” that can be easily binged in one evening. Most of you will do that anyway, as the world split between vampires and humans both fighting for survival is excitingly constructed. The relationship between Momo and Fine may follow the somewhat clichéd concept of “two friends from warring cultures” – but the characters are absolutely lovable.
If you enjoy modern vampire stories, action, and a (rather painful) touch of heartache, you will love Vampire in the Garden.

In a hotfix, Blizzard temporarily deactivated 2 legendary aspects in Diablo 4. The items were important for some of the strongest builds in the game. When they will return is still open.
What are those items? These are 2 legendary aspects from the game, both of which can be found in the Codex of Power:
Aspect of the Blade Master (all classes): Increases damage based on the available resource during the casting time
Aspect of Berserker’s Rending (Barbarian): Damage dealt during Berserk additionally inflicts bleeding damage
Aspect of the Blade Master is popular in many builds that rely on strong resource generation. The Barbarian aspect is even an important part of the Whirlwind build, one of the strongest builds in the game overall. With the appropriate build, a player has even achieved the world’s first kill on the toughest boss in Hardcore mode.
When will the items return? The items have been deactivated since an update on June 9th. So far, there is no date for reactivation. Blizzard will provide an update as soon as more information is available.
Why were the items deactivated? As Community Manager Adam Fletcher wrote on Twitter, there is a bug with the items. The damage is beyond anything that is realistic for the game. (via Twitter)
The aspects can still be used; they just currently have no effect until they are reactivated. You don’t need to throw the items away or bring them to the blacksmith for recycling right away.

When should I break down or sell items in Diablo 4?
The fact that such high numbers are possible at all is due to the combination of multiple multipliers that benefit each other. An important factor in this are a few unique gloves that can cause pretty absurd damage – or none at all:
In Pokémon GO you can currently secure a limited research that rewards you with rare items. However, it is not active for everyone. We at MeinMMO show you who receives it, what you can get and how trainers are reacting to it.
What research is it about? In Pokémon GO, a new limited research is active for many players since today. You can find it in the Today-overview of your game and it can be claimed there until June 30th.
The reason for the research is a bug in the Crypto-Raids with Mewtu in May. Many players reported that they did not receive XL-special candies after the raids. Niantic then apologized on Twitter on June 5th and announced compensation. This is now active, as the developers also announced on Twitter during the night of June 10th.

They write (via twitter.com): Trainers, thank you for your patience. If you completed a Mewtu-Crypto-Raid on May 27 and 28, you should now have a limited research in your ‘Today’ view that rewards you with XL-special candies, depending on how many Mewtu-Crypto-Raids you completed.
What you need to do to receive the reward, how many candies there will be, and who gets the research at all, we have summarized for you below.
How to secure the reward from the limited research
Who gets the research? Unlike other limited researches that usually occur in Pokémon GO, this is only available to players who participated in one of the Crypto-Raids with Crypto-Mewtu on May 27 and 28.
This is because the contents are supposed to serve as compensation for the players who played on those days and had issues with the XL-special candies after the rewards from the raid. Those who did not play will unfortunately miss out on the research.
What task needs to be solved? The limited research is incredibly simple, as you only need to catch a Pokémon to solve it. It doesn’t matter which one. Once you have done that, you unlock the reward.
What reward is there? Since there were issues with the XL-special candies after the raids against Crypto-Mewtu, you will also find these in the reward. Depending on how many raids you completed on those two days, you can look forward to different amounts. According to reports on social networks, the following reward levels are suspected by trainers: (via reddit.com):
The compensation is well received in the community, as many players can secure many more XL-special candies this way than they would have done through the raids. This is because this special item is not very common in the game.
XL-special candies are helpful because they can be used flexibly to level up strong, especially legendary Pokémon, to level 50. This is often a problem as trainers lack enough candies of the respective Pokémon, making special candies very sought after. Many positive comments can currently be found on Reddit (via reddit.com):
TonyValdivieso: I got 20 [XL-special candies] for 14 raids. Feels good, man.
FadedTony: Awesome! I managed 16, haven’t checked yet, but I should also get 20. Let’s go, early birthday present from Niantic to me.
AquaGemini123: I was wondering what this is. I only had time for one Mewtu raid, but I got 10 XL-special candies, yay.
Problems with kids’ accounts: However, there are also reports of issues with kids’ accounts regarding compensation. These are special accounts that parents can create for their underage children. Players report on Reddit that only they received the limited research in the game, while their children with kids’ accounts did not.
As the Reddit user Lurkeelurker writes: My husband and I both received 20 each. Our daughter’s account received none, and she completed all raids with us (she is level 36). She also has not yet received her remote raid passes from the Vesprit/Selfe raids. I wonder if kids’ accounts from Niantic are not rewarded.
And they are not alone, looking at the comments. So let’s hope that these accounts will also receive compensation. Whether and when that will happen is still open.
How do you like the limited research? Are you now getting more XL-special candies from it than from the raids? Or did you not play and therefore miss out? Let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments.
In Pokémon GO today the Community Day June with Milza is taking place, for which you can secure a ticket for the special research Tooth for Tooth. We at MeinMMO show you all the tasks and rewards and reveal who the purchase is worth it for.
Which ticket is it about? Today, on June 10, 2023, the Community Day with the Dragon Pokémon Milza is taking place in Pokémon GO. On this occasion, you will also find a ticket for a thematically appropriate special research in the in-game shop. This is called Tooth for Tooth, costs about 1 Euro and will be about Milza.
What tasks and rewards are behind it, we have summarized for you below.
“Tooth for Tooth” – All tasks and rewards
Where does the info come from? Even though there is still a little time until the start of community days with Milza in Germany, the event has already started in other time zones. Due to the time difference, trainers in these regions could already see the special research and shared the content on social networks.
The research typically includes 4 panels, each with three tasks, which revolve around the small Dragon Pokémon. With the help of the overview from LeekDuck, we have summarized the tasks and rewards for you below:
Research on Milza 1/4
Task
Reward
Land 5 good throws
15 Pokéballs
Catch 15 Milza
Encounter with Milza
Make 10 power-ups on Pokémon
20 Milza candies
Stage reward: If you have completed all three tasks and collected the respective rewards, you will also receive 3,000 stardust, a smoke, and an encounter with Milza.
Research on Milza 2/4
Task
Reward
Send 10 Pokémon
10 Razz Berries
Catch 15 Milza
Encounter with Milza
Evolve 3 Milza
30 Milza candies
Stage reward: If you have completed all three tasks and collected the respective rewards, you will also receive 4,500 XP, a Star Piece, and an encounter with Milza.
Research on Milza 3/4
Task
Reward
Land 3 great curveball throws
15 great balls
Catch 15 Milza
Encounter with Milza
Evolve a Sharfax
50 Milza candies
Stage reward: If you have completed all three tasks and collected the respective rewards, you will also receive 4,500 stardust, a Rocket Radar, and an encounter with Sharfax.
Stage reward: If you have completed all three tasks and collected the respective rewards, you will also receive 5,500 XP, 3 special candies, and an encounter with Maxax.
Is buying the event ticket with Milza worth it?
This is what you need to consider: If you compare the ticket price of almost one Euro with the value of the individual items, it quickly becomes clear that they would cost significantly more in the in-game shop. Normally, you would have to pay the following for this:
A smoke costs 40 coins in the shop, which is about 0.40 Euro.
For a Rocket Radar, you would have to pay 200 coins, which corresponds to about 2.00 Euro.
The Star Piece has a value of 100 coins, which corresponds to about 1.00 Euro.
In addition, you will also receive a lot of other interesting items, such as balls, berries, and special candies, as well as important experience points and stardust. In addition, there are encounters with Milza and his evolutions, which are usually a bit stronger from the research.
Who should get the ticket? The ticket is particularly interesting for trainers who wanted to buy the items from the research anyway. For them, it’s a significant savings. Those who are not interested in the items can also participate in the Community Day without a paid ticket. You will not incur any disadvantages.
How do you like the contents of the Community Day ticket with Milza? Will you secure the special research? Or will you be joining the C-Day today without a ticket? Feel free to let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.
Plenty of loot is both a curse and a blessing – players of Diablo 4 quickly encounter the problem of an overloaded inventory. One of them has discovered a clever trick to save valuable space.
That jewels clog the inventory has been a recurring criticism for some time now. Players are disturbed that they have to reserve at least 7 slots in the inventory if they want to collect all 7 types – even more when different qualities drop.
A trick comes in very handy.
What is the trick to free up space? On the Diablo subreddit, user u/Born_Pension_8210 notes in his post that you can save valuable space by combining items. Many equipment pieces have empty sockets into which you can place your jewels.
He writes:
If you need a few extra inventory slots to pick everything up before you head back to town, put jewels in equipment that you will dismantle. Dismantling items with socketed gems is free.
Here you see a before-and-after comparison. You can simply drag the jewels onto the equipment pieces that have an empty socket:
Many Reddit users are excited about his idea because it is quick, actually quite obvious, and super helpful.
“That’s actually pretty smart,” writes the user minor_thing2022 in the subreddit. Rubicon2-0 jokes: “HOTFIX in progress – Servers offline! People are starting to use too much inventory space! WARNING! WARNING!”
Here you get an overview of what you should process or sell:
Start video
When should I break down or sell items in Diablo 4?
Players complain about too many jewels, wish for extra bags
Why is loot becoming a problem? Of course, it’s always great when you find many weapons, armor pieces, jewels, and potions. Sometimes, however, after fights, so much is lying around that you have no more space in your inventory and have to sort things out.
Ideally, you would want to take all the loot with you. On one hand, you might need the items, on the other hand, you need the materials if you dismantle them. Selling would also bring in money, which you need for repairs and upgrades among other things.
Removing jewels from equipment you want to keep using costs gold. Dismantling items you no longer need, however, is free and leaves the jewel in your inventory.
On Saturday, June 10, 2023, the Community Day with Milza takes place in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO will show you everything about the content and tell you how to make the most of the event.
Which event is it about? Every month in Pokémon GO, there is a so-called Community Day, where a specific Pokémon is in the spotlight. This Pokémon spawns seemingly everywhere during the event and is also more likely to be found as a Shiny. The event is accompanied by various bonuses that are intended to enhance it.
On June 10, it will be that time again, and you can encounter the Dragon Pokémon Milza. What content and bonuses the Community Day with Milza also has in store for you and how you can utilize it, we have summarized for you below.
Update on June 10: We have added the in-game shop content for the Community Day for you and corrected an error regarding the candy during catching in the overview of the bonuses. You can receive double candies when catching Pokémon today.
Update on June 9, 3:25 PM: During the C-Day, the candy bonuses from the global challenge will also be active and can be combined with the event bonuses. We have included the corresponding statement from Niantic for you in the article.
Community Day in June with Milza – Start & Bonuses
What? Community Day with Milza When? Saturday, June 10, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time Pokémon of the day: Milza spawns almost everywhere in the wild Exclusive attack: Wave, if you evolve Sharfax into Maxax during the event or up to 5 hours afterward Bonuses: – triple XP when catching – double candies when catching – double chance of XL candies when catching (starting from trainer level 31) – Incense and Lure Modules last 3 hours (except Adventure Incense) – 5 surprises from snapshots – Event stickers from gifts and PokéStops
Additional bonuses until 5 hours after the event (10:00 PM local time): – additional special trade, meaning up to 3 on this day – halved stardust cost when trading
Thus, the event lasts for 3 hours again, bringing you encounters with Milza and some bonuses. If that’s not enough, you can also secure contents in the in-game shop or participate in special raids following the C-Day.
Contents in the in-game shop: In the game’s shop, you can look forward to some special C-Day contents that you can purchase. The following will be available:
Ticket for the special research “Tooth for Tooth” about Milza for about 1 Euro
Community Day box with 50 Ultra Balls, 5 Super Incubators, 5 Lucky Eggs, and a Premium Raid Pass for 1,350 coins
Event stickers for the Community Day
Special raids: As you know from past Community Days, there will also be special Level 4 Raids featuring Sharfax, the evolution of Milza, afterward from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM local time. Keep in mind that participation is only possible on-site. Remote raids will not work.
If you defeat Sharfax, you will secure additional Milza spawns for 30 minutes around the arena. Its Shiny rate will also be increased, just like during the Community Day itself. This is a good opportunity to collect additional specimens.
Who should take advantage of the Community Day with Milza?
Can you catch Shiny Milza? Yes, Milza can be found in its shiny form with a bit of luck. During the Community Days, your chances are particularly good as the Shiny rate will be increased. You can recognize the shiny dragon by its gray-green body and its pink collar.
Milza, Sharfax, and Maxax normal (top) and as Shinys (bottom)
How strong is Milza? Milza belongs to the Dragon Pokémon from the 5th generation of games and can evolve into Maxax through Sharfax. Milza itself is not particularly strong, but it has an evolution in Maxax that is impressive.
It has high attack value and solid defense and stamina values. Especially with the new charged attack “Wave” that you can secure during the Community Day, Maxax ranks as a strong Dragon Pokémon among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
And even in PvP battles, it can convince with a moveset of Counter, Wave, and Night Slash. It can enrich your team in any case.
We show you more strong attackers in Pokémon GO in the following video:

Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video
Is the event worth it? Yes, the Community Day with Milza is an absolute must-attend event for most trainers. In addition to a strong Pokémon for raids or the GO Battle League, especially shiny hunters get their money’s worth.
Since Milza is usually hard to find, it’s a good opportunity to obtain a strong and/or shiny specimen. Especially after monsters with a 4-star rating, you should keep an eye out.
Adding to this are the strong bonuses that the event brings with it. With the double candy bonus when catching, you can directly enhance your stock and level up a strong specimen accordingly. The XP bonus is also helpful for all trainers who are on the way to level 50.
Preparation and tips for the Community Day with Milza
Make space: To make the most of the Community Day, you should create enough space in your Pokémon storage beforehand. So sort out all the monsters you no longer need.
Preferably use the filter and tag function of the game. With “0*,1*,2*” you can easily display all monsters with a rating of 2 stars or worse and send them directly.
Perform a Mega Evolution: If you perform a Mega Evolution on the right monsters before the start of the event, you can secure additional candies when catching. Since Milza belongs to the Dragon type, the Mega Evolution must also have this type if you want to take advantage of it. The following evolutions are recommended:
Mega Altaria
Mega Ampharos
Mega Salamence
Mega Sceptile
Mega Charizard X
Mega Latios
Mega Latias
If you want to battle Sharfax in the Level 4 Raids afterwards, you can also benefit from these monsters during the battle. Mega Altaria is particularly recommended as it not only has the Dragon type but also the Fairy type, which Dragon attackers are particularly sensitive to.
Use the following items: To make the most of the event, you should use various items to get more out of the existing bonuses. The following items are particularly important on this day:
Sananaberries: Using these berries when catching can really pay off for you as they double the candies you receive afterward. Since there is already a double candy bonus through the event, you can get a lot and quickly power up Maxax.
Incense & Lure Modules: To attract even more monsters, you should use incense and lure modules. These last for 3 hours when activated during the event. Incense is particularly useful when you’re on the move. With the lure module, you can receive more spawns near a stop.
Lucky Egg: During the event, there will be triple XP for catching Pokémon. If you want to maximize this, use a lucky egg and double the experience points collected within 30 minutes. It is also advisable to utilize friendship level increases. However, it is best to coordinate this with your friends.
Update on June 9: As confirmed by Niantic at our request, you can also look forward to the candy bonus from the global challenge during the Community Day with Milza, which is already active in the game.
Therefore, you can receive additional candies for landing good, Great, and Excellent throws, and from trainer level 31 even more XL candies for successfully caught Pokémon with good, Great, and Excellent throws. This is really worth it. Niantic wrote to us in response to the question of whether the bonuses from the global challenge remain active during Community Day and can be combined with the event bonuses:
Yes, the currently active bonuses of the global challenge (copied below) are also active during tomorrow’s Community Day:
Global Challenge Bonus:
Increased candies for good, Great, and Excellent throws
Increased chance for trainers from level 31 to receive XL candies for successfully caught Pokémon with good, Great, and Excellent throws
Use lucky trades: If you don’t have a lucky Milza in your collection, you should also take advantage of the Community Day for this. On this day, you will encounter numerous specimens. Before sending them to Professor Willow, you should rather trade them with another trainer. With 100 possible trades, your chances are good of completing a lucky trade.
Thanks to the current season bonuses “Hidden Gems”, you also receive an additional candy and a guaranteed XL candy from trainer level 31, so this can also be worthwhile for collecting candies. Through the reduced trade costs up to 5 hours after the event, you also save a lot of stardust.
How do you like the content of the Community Day with Milza? How will you utilize the event? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange tips with other trainers.
Wudijo has fallen. One of the most famous and best players in Diablo 4 has lost his hardcore hero at level 100. An emote became his downfall in the toughest battle. In “honor” there is a cynical eulogy from Megan Fox.
The expert faced the boss for the first time. He had dared to enter the fight before, but fled after 24 minutes. He still had some tricks up his sleeve that saved his life.
Wudijo tried this again. But a feature became his downfall: the emote wheel. He opened it to use a quick slot, but accidentally triggered “the wrong wheel.” Instead, his character shouted: “Stop!” – and at that moment, he passed away:

That is why it is so tragic: The hardcore mode of Diablo 4 is a “permadeath mode.” This means: your character dies permanently and cannot be resurrected. Once dead, they stay dead, and that’s it.
Wudijo’s huntress was already at level 100, which alone requires many hours of grind. He also had a pretty strong build with good equipment. In total, 150 hours have been lost, as Wudijo estimates.
Do you also want to die as quickly as possible at the final boss? Here are leveling tips:
Blizzard then shares clips on the official Twitter channel of the game, in which Megan Fox comments on the death. In Wudijo’s case, she says: “Hey, great job, huntress! I liked the part where you panicked and were crushed like a tiny baby.”

Alongside Wudijo, well-known figures like shroud and Dr. Lupo have also received the dubious honor of a personalized greeting. However, the streamers seem to take their deaths with humor, even though a lot of effort goes into the grind.
Wudijo himself commented on his death live quite calmly and said: “Wow, she [the boss] is really dealing a lot of damage now.” Although he analyzed his death, he continued right away. And at least now he has found out that certain items can be bound directly to keys.
Previously, another huntress at level 50 was prepared, which he has since leveled up to over level 62. Another icon is meanwhile quite displeased with Blizzard:
It’s Friday and that means in Destiny 2 a new “Xur-prise” from the well-known Exo vendor. His exotic offerings may be drier than Vex humor. But still grab your Sparrow and stop by for a galactic shopping adventure with him. MeinMMO tells you where to find him and what he has on offer.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? While Season 21 in Destiny 2 is flowing smoothly, this week was mainly disrupted by annoying error codes.
During the weekly reset on Tuesday, players were kicked from activities and Bungie announced an investigation into the issues.
Player feedback was substantial. From “the servers are at the end” to “get your game under control already,” everything was there. However, the well-known Destiny streamer Datto clarified one thing:
[…] You shouldn’t act like you know how to solve the game/server issue, damn it!
Meanwhile, Destiny 2 is back online. However, the challenge now is to get teammates to interact with a ball in player search during dives so that everyone gets the best loot.
This is, however, not easy, as many Destiny players seem clueless or simply do not want to take on the hard challenge:

Additionally, you will find unique rolls for Exotics from no longer available exotic missions from past DLCs in Xur’s weekly offer. However, note: You can only buy the weapons if you also own the corresponding expansion.
Currently, he has these two weapons on offer:
The exotic hand cannon “Fallen Moon” (Beyond Light DLC)
The exotic scout rifle “Tale of a Dead Man” (Beyond Light DLC)
The 14th Saint wants to see you in PvP endgame
First shoot, then ask
Since this week on Tuesday the Iron Banner also ended and the Iron Wolf Saladin is now again scratching Caiatl’s back, the Trials can kick off.
The 14th Saint stands ready to test your nerves in the Trials of Osiris. So get ready for a fireworks display of frustration, curses, and possibly a few epic moments of triumph.
Which map is on this week? Unlike in normal PvP, where the maps cycle through, in the Guardian-versus-Guardian endgame every weekend there is only one fixed map played.
This week you play on the map: Burnout
The PvP map “Burnout”
This is the reward for a flawless run: For a flawless run to the Lighthouse, you will not only receive a special emblem. Additionally, a very special weapon that you get for 7 victories drops as an exclusive Master version. You can earn it until the upcoming Tuesday, June 13, at 7:00 PM.
The Adept weapon this week is: The glaive “Unexpected Return”
The Arc glaive “Unexpected Return”
Focus on what you want: Through the focusing system, players can also focus old armors and weapons from trials that they want or are still missing.
Your earned trial engrams can be specifically focused on your desired weapon at the 14th Saint. On top of that, there are enhancement prisms and ascendant shards.
Keep in mind that your reward increases even more once you have a complete pass – even if you lost one or two games.
Additionally, Bungie has changed the “Pass of Grace” for Season 21.
The “Pass of Grace” now forgives 2 losses if you haven’t gone flawless that week.
If you achieve flawless when resetting the pass, one loss will be forgiven on each pass again.
This gives everyone a better chance to go flawless for the first time every week, and for those who can go flawless without having to use both pardons, there are additional opportunities to earn extra rewards while your first pass remains flawless.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris start today, June 9, 2023, at 7:00 PM and end with the weekly reset on June 13, 2023, at 7:00 PM.
Which exotic or other goods would you immediately buy from Xur? Feel free to tell us in the comments what Xur would have to offer you so that you would fly to him right away. We are curious.
Until then, we will tell you which items you should stay away from in Destiny 2:
Rod Fergusson is the head of the entire Diablo franchise at Blizzard. In a “secret” tweet, he has now revealed which is the most played class in Diablo 4. Surprisingly, it is the class without a single S-Tier build at the moment.
This is the most popular class: With a wink, Rod Fergusson writes on Twitter that Sorcerers are the most frequently played class in Diablo 4. But we didn’t hear that from him, in case PR asks…
Looking at the tier list of Diablo 4, one sees that the Sorceress is precisely the class that does not quite play at the top. All other classes have at least one build in the best tier, only the Sorceress does not. She only plays in the A-tier.
Why is the Sorceress so popular? An official reason is not given, but Sorcerers have been around since Diablo 1 in every installment of the series. The Barbarian can only claim that, though he appeared in the first part only with the Hellfire expansion.
Moreover, Sorceresses have visually a lot to offer in Diablo 4. Whether with fire, lightning, or ice, their mastery over the elements simply looks damn cool on screen, and it is fun to play the class.
I recently built a build that no one else plays and I’m blazing through the enemies with it. Here you can see the Blizzard build in action:

A boss plays Necromancer, another would prefer Druids
By the way, Fergusson is by no means a fan of the class himself. As he explains in a video on YouTube, he is “Necro Main 4 life” – thus a Necromancer. Generally, Blizzard has quite different favorite classes.
Fergusson’s tweet receives a lot of approval, especially from Sorcerer players. However, some wish that there would be some cooler skins for the class.
In another place, the players are quite angry. Or rather: people who would like to be players but can’t play. This includes the famous Whoopi Goldberg, who apparently counts herself among the fans of the series:
The first season of the Netflix series “Wednesday” featuring Jenna Ortega as the lead became an absolute hit. Recently, the actress talked about the 2nd season and mentioned that an unpopular aspect from season 1 will not be included in the continuation.
Now 20 years old, Jenna Ortega began her career as a child actress and is currently one of Hollywood’s most recognized faces.
In 2022, she captivated audiences in the iconic role of Wednesday Addams in the eponymous Netflix series. A 2nd season has already been announced. As Jenna Ortega reveals, there will be a significant change in the continuation that makes her very happy.
Here you can see the announcement for the 2nd season of Wednesday:
Start video
Wednesday – Season 2 Trailer
“We have decided that we want to focus more on horror”
Wednesday lead actress Jenna Ortega spoke with Elle Fanning in front of the American magazine Variety about their lives as former child stars and her work as a producer.
When asked if the lead actress could reveal anything about season 2, Jenna Ortega responded: “It [the season] is still in the works, but we have decided that we want to focus more on horror. We are leaving out any romantic love story, which is really great. We will be bolder, darker.”
With the romantic love story falling away in the upcoming season, an aspect that the lead actress has previously criticized is being removed: the love triangle involving her character with Tyler and Xavier.
Jenna Ortega explained, for instance, that the love relationship made no sense to her. The actress even went so far as to slightly change her lines because she didn’t like the original script version (via Armchair Expert).
But many fans also couldn’t connect with the love story in the series and found it rather inappropriate in the storyline. Our colleagues at Moviepilot have an article explaining why season 2 of Wednesday doesn’t need a new love story.
Why is there this change now? Jenna Ortega is not only involved as an actress but also as a producer in the 2nd season of Wednesday. This gives her an influence on how her character is further developed. She shares:
“[…] With a character like Wednesday, who is so beloved, I didn’t want her to be misrepresented. So I tried to have as many conversations as possible with the writers. We then decided what works and what doesn’t. […]”
When does season 2 of Wednesday start? The series is expected to return in 2024 on Netflix.
Another actress was also dissatisfied with her script and nearly abandoned the project because of it:
In League of Legends the US professionals called for a strike to give more weight to their demands to Riot Games. But Riot Games held the upper hand and threatened to cancel the season entirely in the LCS. Now there is some agreement. The LoL season in the US will now start on June 14.
What was the dispute about?
In the US there was an “Academy League”, where professional teams had to set up “second teams” where they – in theory – should let young talents play. However, the system did not really work: hardly anyone watched the games, only a few talents made it up, as Twitch streamer Tyler1 explained loudly.
This system has now been ended by Riot Games and replaced with a new 2nd league, the NACL. Teams no longer need to provide an academy team.
This caused an outcry among the professionals: they saw jobs endangered and feared there would now be even less support from Riot Games.
To emphasize their demands, they went on strike and simply did not play at the start of the 1st league, the LCS.
This was Riot Games’ response: They clearly said “No”. It was stated that a second league could not be subsidized to such an extent. They understood the problems and the crisis in esports, but if the professionals did not play within 2 weeks, the season would have to be canceled, and then no team from the USA would go to the Worlds.
Players’ Union Finds it “Monumental” – Players Not So Much
This is now the compromise: Riot Games and the players have agreed on a compromise. The league now starts on June 14, as Riot Games wanted.
In principle, Riot Games did not fully meet any of the players’ demands, but there are some soft assurances and compromise decisions that have been made to strengthen the 2nd league.

The players’ union itself emphasizes success, stating that 90% of the players joined the strike. This is historic. The solidarity of the professionals with the amateurs is “monumental.”
However, they also admit to having achieved only a partial success. They will continue to work on it (via kotaku).
One user says: “So the requirement to form an academy team is still gone and none of the people who lost their jobs will get them back, right? And nothing here helps the scene to remain stable in the long term?”
The reddit user harshly concludes: the players’ union is incompetent.
In response, he is told: “What are you talking about? Riot held the upper hand. They should be grateful they got anything at all.”
This is what lies behind it: Indeed, “They should be happy they got something” seems to be the prevailing viewpoint. After Riot Games threatened to cancel the league entirely, it was clear that the players would give in.
Because Riot Games has three professional scenes in China, South Korea, and Europe that function much better than the one in North America – in Germany we had fantastic games in the third league last year. Riot Games thus has alternatives and could forgo the LCS for half a year to make a statement.
The players in North America, however, have no big alternative: if they cannot play for half a year and the Worlds are also out, that would probably be existentially threatening.
Ultimately, the strike had to turn out this way.
The “solidarity” of the players for the amateurs was not quite so solid:
And you can notice this in the game as well. There are once again wild raptors that you can even ride, muddy areas for sliding, and also trees that you can glide over. In short: it’s a real jungle.
At least in the center of the map, as the biggest change has occurred there. We’ll briefly introduce the new map changes here.
This is what the map looks like in Chapter 4 Season 3
This is the new map: If you check it out in the game, you will find the map in the following form. The grayed-out locations are where things have changed significantly – undiscovered spots, so to speak. You should visit these first if you want to get an impression of the new environment:
The map in Chapter 4 Season 3
Particularly striking is the large area in the middle. There, you will now find the new jungle biome, which also includes many of the gameplay changes like raptors, mud, and slide trees.
The jungle biome is shown very clearly in the trailer:

For many players, it may be crucial: The location Anvil Square has been completely removed from the map. Anyone who liked to land there will have to find a new place.
However, Mega City is still findable on the map. This was quite uncertain, as the “Mega” theme of the last season has disappeared. Fans of the futuristic city can therefore look forward to a return.
What changes can be found on the map in detail remains to be seen for now. They are likely to emerge in the coming days as more and more players explore the new season.
The season, themed “Wilderness,” also brings a new Battle Pass with numerous fresh skins, emotes, and more. A few of them, like Optimus Prime, you can already admire here in the trailer:

Yes, soon Optimus Prime can also fight alongside Ariana Grande and Son Goku in Fortnite – And everyone is celebrating it
Below, we will take a closer look at the Battle Pass.
Structure of the Battle Pass: The pass costs as always 950 V-Bucks and relies again on a star system. You earn these when leveling up and can then use them for rewards of your choice.
However, some rewards are tied to level requirements. So, you cannot just get the level 100 skin Optimus Prime right away, but must first reach certain levels beforehand.
All rewards in the Battle Pass for Season Wilderness
Who is the bonus skin? The bonus skin is the “Schnurrlaub-Muskelkater.” However, it will only be available later in the season, on July 6, 2023.
The YouTuber NeverKnowsBest created a video that summarizes the history of video games in six hours. However, the entire channel along with all its videos has now been deleted. Now he is fighting to get the account back.
What happened? The YouTuber suddenly received a message that his six-hour video was demonetized. This removed ads from the video and the creator of the documentary no longer received any money for it.
The reason for the removal was profanity in the title, thumbnail, or content of the video. The channel operator filed an appeal, but YouTube rejected the appeal.
His second channel KnowsBestNever has been hit even worse: The entire channel with all its videos was deleted, including the documentary about gaming. Here too, an appeal by the owner could not save anything. The reason here: The channel violated the guidelines on sex and nudity.
You can watch the mentioned video about the history of video games here:

In the past, NeverKnowsBest had already struggled with YouTube’s guidelines. Other videos of his have also been age-restricted and demonetized. For some videos, the YouTuber could even understand the procedure, but especially for titles like Dragon Age and NieR: Automate, he does not understand why they must be rated with an age limit of 18.
He assumed that YouTube would initially issue strikes before intervening. NeverKnowsBest is shocked that there was no communication beforehand and that he was not warned in advance. In his opinion, he did nothing wrong.
What is so frustrating about it? Especially his centerpiece, the documentary about the history of video games, is what troubles him the most. In the video, there are no ambiguities that would be inappropriate or controversial. It is six hours full of video game history, nothing more and nothing less.
The YouTuber explains that he spent a full three months creating the video. The video was one of the most popular on his channel and garnered him numerous positive messages in the comments section, but that no longer counts.
Sonic, the blue hedgehog, has also contributed to the history of gaming with his video game series. Now, after 10 years, a 2D Sonic is finally returning:

YouTuber turns to second channel
Is there a happy ending? NeverKnowsBest has not yet exhausted all possibilities to get his channel back. Therefore, it may be that he gets his channel back in the distant future. However, he is clearly affected by the situation and finds no motivation to tackle the problem.
At the end of a video message, he explains that he is very sad about it and feels like he has been defeated by YouTube:
You work for a long time. There is a lot of pressure, stress, and competition. No matter what you do, it feels like it’s never enough. […] It can be hard to make videos. And that’s without the fact that things outside your control can go wrong for no reason. I really feel defeated.
At least he was able to save all his videos and is now uploading them gradually to his other channel. But it could be a matter of time before this channel is also deleted by YouTube, as NeverKnowsBest does not understand what the reason for the deletion was.
We keep our fingers crossed for him and hope that his drama will have a good ending. It would be a shame if his six-hour documentary were to disappear into oblivion.
The 32-year-old Nick “Nickmercs” Kolcheff is the biggest Twitch streamer for Call of Duty: Warzone. Since May 31, he has had his own skin in the game. However, that didn’t last long. Activision Blizzard is now removing the skin after a critical tweet.
Who is that?
Nickmercs had his breakthrough on Twitch in 2018, alongside Ninja and Fortnite. At that time, his average viewership jumped from nearly 3,000 to over 17,000.
While Ninja lost popularity, Nickmercs became one of the hottest shooter streamers on Twitch in recent years, among others with Apex Legends and Call of Duty.
In the last 30 days, he was by far the biggest streamer for Call of Duty: Warzone on Twitch. With 1.9 million watched hours and an average of 14,500 viewers, he ranked first. Other well-known CoD streamers like TimTheTatman and DrDisrespect are now on YouTube.

These are the skins he received now: Nickmercs and TimTheTatman received their own skin bundles in Call of Duty MW 2 and Warzone 2 at the end of May for Season 3 Reloaded.
The bundle from Nickmercs was released on May 31 and included an operator skin, 2 weapon blueprints, a charm, and a sticker.
The 2,400 Call of Duty points you have to pay for it cost €20.

This controversy is now about Nickmercs: The United States of America are politically deeply divided, especially since the era of Donald Trump. In the USA, there is a constant debate between the LGBTQ community and its opponents, which we can hardly comprehend in this intensity in Germany.
The Call of Duty broadcaster, Chris Puckett, posted a video on Twitter on June 7 showing opponents of the LGBTQ community attacking demonstrators. The demonstration apparently revolved around whether a school acknowledges June as “Pride Month.”
Nickmercs wrote:
“They should leave little children alone. That is the real problem.”

Short Twitter statement triggers massive reactions
Why is the statement problematic? Nickmercs’ relatively vague statement seemed to many as if he was implying that transgender people or homosexuals are somehow pedophilic or want to “indoctrinate” little children, something along those lines.
In any case, it was clearly interpreted as a transphobic statement. Because the connection of LGBTQ+ to “little children” is something that is emotionally charged.
Thus, the Harry Potter author “J.K. Rowling” advocates the thesis that underage girls mistakenly identify as transgender because they want to move out of the role of women and prefer to be boys, as they allegedly have it easier in society. Rowling has been heavily criticized for this view.
This was the reaction to the statement: Nickmercs’ tweet was viewed 11.4 million times.
Individuals from the Call of Duty and esports community subsequently distanced themselves from Nickmercs.
Loopy, coach of Vexed Gaming, wrote:
“I will never watch one of your events again or work there. I cannot in good conscience work for a hypocrite. I am a Marine and I have sworn to protect and uphold the Constitution that protects the demonstrations and demands equal rights for all.
“Love and peace” for everyone, except if you are gay or transgender? What a loser!”
Activision Blizzard removes skin bundle from the shop
This is how Activision Blizzard responds: The official Call of Duty account said today, June 9, that they have removed the “NICKMERCS” operator bundle from the Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone store. This was due to “recent events” and new developments.
Activision Blizzard emphasizes that they celebrate Pride Month with their employees and the community.

Nickmercs does not apologize, meant the statement differently
What does Nickmercs say about it? He seems to find his tweet unproblematic. He did not mean to upset anyone.
He recently became a father, and therefore his perspective has changed. Teachers or a school should not “talk about these things.” He wanted to express with his tweet that he and his wife want to discuss “these things” with their children, no one else.

He does not find the tweet wrong and does not want to apologize for it. Only to the broadcaster Chris Puckett does he apologize afterward; after his reaction, he seems to have taken quite a hit. Nickmercs did not want that.
What’s behind it: Nickmercs’ tweet “They should leave the little children alone” is so vague that one can read anything into it, especially in the heated atmosphere in the USA.
If Nickmercs had written, “The school should not trouble little children with the topic. I want my children to explain this as a father,” it would have certainly been controversial, but certainly not in such a manner.
Activision Blizzard had to remove another skin based on a real person from the store. They had already done this with an Overwatch pro before.
Diablo 4 is a massive success and many players are currently sinking into the depths of Sanctuary. However, Diablo 4 is also a time-consuming game. If you want to be efficient, classic grind is on the agenda. Users on Reddit are now complaining that their guilds in World of Warcraft are dying because of Diablo.
Currently, it feels like everyone is playing Diablo 4. Even many people who are not Diablo enthusiasts are at least trying out the new installment of the action RPG series. In a Reddit post, some WoW players are complaining that their guilds are dying because everyone is playing Diablo.
The ARPG is having a considerable impact on the MMORPG World of Warcraft. Recently, the release of Diablo 4 caused the price increase of an item in WoW.
What is the problem? The user Alive_Advisor3612 posted a small post in the WoW subreddit. 6 people from his guild left last week because they are playing Diablo 4. Thus, the guild is missing players for regular raids.
Many users under the post are currently having similar experiences, but not everyone sees the problem as drastically.
wallzballz89: 90% of our guild is playing Diablo 4. Everyone shows up for raids, but does nothing else in WoW.
tallboybrews: I don’t know. I have Diablo 4 and I’m not even that into it, but it definitely took away my motivation for 10.1.
nukleus7: Diablo 4 can be very addictive, especially when Blizzard fixes problems and seasons are introduced.
Some say that they feel the air is currently out in WoW. They would probably be bridging their time with Diablo 4 and then return with the new update 10.1.5. There’s quite a lot in there, after all.
Diablo 4 is even trying to attract players in real life:

Users agree with the post. And even when players log in, it is only for the weekly raids and nothing else anymore. Other users acknowledge the problem but don’t see it as dramatic:
lovejac93: Once it’s the Diablo 4 grind, they will return to the WoW grind
jacktherdogo: Everyone will return in 1 or 2 weeks. If it’s just about the grind, most people will quit.
Hakunamateo: I feel like the Diablo 4 hype won’t last long
The other side thinks the problem is just temporary and that the hype of Diablo 4 will fade and people will return to WoW. The endgame of Diablo 4 is also criticized in the comments of the post and many believe that the endgame will eventually be abandoned.
