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.
Are you noticing a decline in your guilds due to Diablo 4? Then let us know in the comments.
If you are just starting with Diablo 4 and want to level up quickly, check out our level guide for Diablo 4.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Diablo 4 brings some new features compared to its predecessors. One of them is elixirs, which you can use for limited-time bonuses. However, these elixirs are often forgotten, especially by veterans.
What do I need to click? You have a special tab for “Consumables” in your inventory. This is where elixirs and later keystones for Nightmare dungeons are collected.
You can find elixirs in all kinds of chests, receive them as quest rewards, or you can craft them at the alchemist. The elixirs have various effects and strengths, but always provide +5% experience points. They last for 30 minutes.
Due to the effect, we recommend in our guide for fast leveling, to always use elixirs. But also for Paragon and to get through endgame content more easily, it is worth using them. Just don’t forget that you have them, which can happen quickly.
However, with a quick hand movement, you can significantly reduce the chance of overlooking them by simply putting the elixirs on the emote wheel.
Diablo 4: Immediately activate these 2 settings, otherwise you will miss important equipment values
Putting elixirs on the emote wheel for quick access
This way, you remember the items more easily: By pressing the “E” key (PC) or the up directional pad (Xbox, PlayStation), you can access your emote wheels. You have a total of 3 available, which you can freely assign functions to.
Through “Customize,” you can assign one of your elixirs to any slot using the “Consumables” tab. If you want even quicker access, you can assign a hotkey to each slot in the emote wheel through the key mapping in the options.
By clicking on “Customize” or the corresponding key, you can assign your wheel.
Which elixir should I use? It doesn’t really matter as you mainly want the experience effect. However, you can also significantly ease your gameplay with the elixirs. It’s best to choose based on what you want to do at the moment:
for dungeons, take an elixir that strengthens you against corresponding enemies – like animals or undead
There are also elixirs that generally strengthen your offensive stats, such as critical hit rating, or those that increase your maximum resources. These can even be useful for certain builds in the absolute endgame to further boost your damage. You can find tips on this in our tier list:
In Pokémon GO an exciting weekend is just around the corner. We from MeinMMO are giving you a brief overview of the upcoming days and showing you which highlights you shouldn’t miss.
Which weekend is it about? The weekend of June 10 and 11 is already on the horizon and will be quite eventful. The developers of Pokémon GO have planned quite a lot for the upcoming days.
In addition to a strong Community Day featuring Milza, Crypto-Articuno will also be waiting for you in the Crypto Raids. To conclude, you can look forward to a Raid Day with the Lake Trio, which will be held as a replacement event. When each highlight will take place in the game and what you should know about it, we have summarized for you below.
All Highlights on June 10 and 11 in Pokémon GO
In addition to the Water Festival, which is already active in Pokémon GO, there are additional features coming to the game in the next two days. What they are and when they will take place, we have summarized for you in the following overview:
What kind of event is this? Starting June 10, Crypto Raids level 5 will return to Pokémon GO and will occur every weekend thereafter. After in May catching Crypto-Mewtwo in this Raid format, you now have the opportunity to encounter the legendary Crypto-Pokémon Articuno. With a bit of luck, you may even encounter it for the first time in its shiny form.
Keep in mind, however, that Crypto Raids are only possible on-site. Therefore, your Remote Raid Passes cannot be used. It’s best to coordinate with your local community friends in advance to arrange your battles.
Normal Articuno (left) and Shiny (right)
When does the event take place? The Crypto Raids level 5 with Crypto-Articuno starts on June 10 at 10:00 AM local time. The legendary Pokémon will then be available every weekend. So, you can still challenge it on Sunday, June 11, until 8:00 PM before it disappears again for the next few days.
Is the Raid worth it? Articuno is a legendary Ice and Flying-type Pokémon from the first generation of games. It has solid attack stats and strong defense and stamina stats. In its Crypto form, it is even slightly stronger in attack.
With a moveset of Ice Breath and Ice Beam, it ranks on the list of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. For this reason, you should secure the Crypto Raid Boss for your team. Moreover, shiny hunters will also benefit from Crypto-Articuno.
What kind of event is this? On Saturday, the Community Day June will take place. During this event format, a specific Pokémon is highlighted and will be found everywhere. Your shiny chances are also good on that day. So, you can expect plenty of encounters with the Dragon-type Pokémon Milza.
Besides the numerous spawns and the high shiny rate, the event will come with additional bonuses. This time, these will mainly be Candy bonuses and an XP bonus that you shouldn’t miss.
Normal Milza (left) and Shiny (right)
When does the C-Day take place? The Community Day with Milza will happen on Saturday, June 10, between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM local time.
Is the event worth it? Yes, Milza has a really strong evolution. Maxax is among the best Dragon-type attackers in Pokémon GO and can also hold its own in the GO Battle League. It should definitely not be missing from your collection. Be sure to also secure the special event attack available when you evolve Milza during the C-Day.
With the numerous Candy bonuses, you can enhance your stock and level up strong specimens directly. Moreover, shiny hunters will also be fully satisfied. For trainers on the way to level 50, it’s also a good chance to farm significant XP.
What kind of event is this? Following the Community Day with Milza, special level 4 raids will take place in Pokémon GO. In these, you can encounter the Dragon-type Pokémon Sharfax, the first evolution of Milza. Just like the Crypto Raids, you can only participate in these battles on-site as well.
If you win the raid, you will not only have an encounter with the Dragon-type Pokémon but will also unlock Milza spawns near this gym for 30 minutes. Its shiny rate will be as high as it was during the actual Community Day. However, Sharfax cannot be caught as shiny.
When do the raids take place? The level 4 raids with Sharfax will run on Saturday, June 10, from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Are the raids worth it? The raids against Sharfax are especially worthwhile for trainers who couldn’t fully utilize the Community Day with Milza or simply can’t get enough of the little dragon.
With the additional spawns, you also have the chance to encounter a shiny Milza or secure a strong specimen for raids or PvP battles. Additionally, this way, you can also collect some extra candies.
Replacement Event: Raid Day with Vesprit, Selfe, and Tobutz
What kind of event is this? On Sunday, a sort of scaled-down Raid Day with the Lake Trio Vesprit, Selfe, and Tobutz will finally take place. This is a replacement event held due to a poor shiny rate.
To make up for this, the trainers were refunded the invested passes and a replacement event was set up. As a result, the legendary Pokémon will spawn in their respective regions in level 5 raids during the event period.
In Germany, you will thus meet Vesprit more often. To get the other two monsters, you need to be invited abroad. Keep an eye out for raids in America for Tobutz. Selfe can be found in Asia. The limit for Remote Raids will be raised on Saturday from 12:00 PM to Sunday, 11:59 PM local time to 15 per day.
Selfe, Vesprit, and Tobutz normal (above) and as Shinys (below)
When do the raids take place? On June 11 from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM local time, the legendary Pokémon of the Lake Trio will spawn more frequently in their respective regions in level 5 raids. If you want to be invited abroad, you need to pay attention to the respective time zones.
Are the raids worth it? Vesprit, Selfe, and Tobutz are not particularly strong and do not have strong evolutions. Therefore, they are mainly interesting for shiny hunters.
What is your highlight of the weekend? Are you participating in all events? Or are you only interested in specific content? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.
Since October 2020, Baldur’s Gate 3 has been in Early Access. Now, the developers confirm the final release date and entice with a new trailer that provides a glimpse into the story and the city of “Baldur’s Gate”.
What kind of game is it? Baldur’s Gate 3 is a tactical, turn-based role-playing game in isometric perspective. It is the third part of a legendary series that has existed since the 90s. At the same time, it is an official offshoot of the world-renowned role-playing game “Dungeons and Dragons”.
By the end of 2021, Baldur’s Gate 3 was already one of the bestsellers on Steam, even though it hadn’t really been released yet.
What is the trailer about? The developers of Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios, released a new trailer on June 8 that offers a glimpse into the story of the new installment. The Belgian studio is primarily known for its Divinity series.
The trailer features Lord Enver Gortash, who aims to conquer Baldur’s Gate and bring it glory.
The highlight of the trailer is probably the city itself, as Larian Studios presents its interpretation of Baldur’s Gate and allows us to return after 20 years.

Baldur’s Gate Comes to Life
Many of us surely remember when we could finally cross the “Lindworm Bridge” to enter Baldur’s Gate, at least if we paid the mercenary of the Flaming Fist gold and told him our origin.
At the map’s edge of the bridge, we selected the first section of Baldur’s Gate to enter. We were greeted with a small cutscene.
What was presented to us in Baldur’s Gate 1 in 10 seconds, underscored by a typical melody of the game, takes on new dimensions in the trailer. Baldur’s Gate comes to life.
What is shown in the trailer? The colorful glass dome, the statue, and the building that transitions into a ship look picturesque. The images shown make you want to set out on an exploration tour right away. Who knows what characters, places, and side quests are waiting to be discovered there.
How are fans reacting to the trailer? On YouTube, some fans under the trailer find the scenes impressive. Vital Vector writes (via youtube.com): “I can’t wait to walk on the rooftops of Baldur’s Gate. I think I will stop every 10 seconds to look around. The idea of exploring the vertical expansion of the city is very exciting!”
Other users are also eager to explore the city. This is certainly the case for most fans of the popular role-playing series.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is set to be released on August 31 for PC (Steam & GOG) and PlayStation 5. There will be a multiplayer mode where you can team up with up to four friends.
With Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, a new survival game set in the world of The Lord of the Rings is set to be released in 2023. At the Summer Game Fest, a new gameplay trailer was revealed. Fans compare the game to a popular co-op shooter.
What kind of game is this? “Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria” is an upcoming survival game set in Tolkien’s world of “The Lord of the Rings” that can be played cooperatively with up to eight players.
In Return to Moria, you will be sent as part of a chosen group of dwarves to return to the great dwarven realm of Moria. You will encounter various dangers and monsters that you must fight to secure your own survival. Generally, the focus of the game will likely be on PvE and exploring the Misty Mountains.
Furthermore, farming various resources will play an important role. There are ores and precious metals that are procedurally generated in 3 different mountains. However, mining these resources makes noise, such as the clanging of your pickaxe on solid rock, waking things that are better left sleeping.
At the Summer Game Fest 2023, we saw new gameplay for Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. You can watch the corresponding trailer of the event here:

LotR Return to Moria – Summer Game Fest Trailer
When will the game be released? With the new trailer, there is also a new release window. Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is expected to be released in fall 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and on PC in the Epic Games Store.
An exact release date is currently not known. A Steam release is not planned at present.
What do fans say? Many fans express concerns about the game in the comments on YouTube under the trailer and on Reddit, mainly due to the disappointing release of “The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.” The game released on May 25 struggles with very poor reviews and is considered a major flop.
However, there are also some players who find positive words about the trailer and the game on Reddit:
Croswynd: “Unlike many others, I really like this. Dwarves are my favorite race.”
NKevros: “I think it looks really cool and I love the idea of being the dwarves who may have dug too deep.”
MuchosCarpinchos: “Super excited for this game. I love LOTR and crafting/survival games, and setting it in the Fourth Age is honestly a really cool and interesting time period that we haven’t seen much of in LOTR media.”
Other players compare Return to Moria to the popular shooter “Deep Rock Galactic” (97% positive on Steam). For example, one user describes the title on YouTube as “Deep Rock Galactic, Fantasy Edition.” Another jokingly asks: “Did they just give us Deep Rock Mordor (via YouTube)?”
Even in Deep Rock Galactic, you take on the role of dwarves and must gather resources and fight various creatures with different weapons – even if in Deep Rock Galactic they are aliens and not giant spiders or the like. Likewise, in Return to Moria, you will likely rely more on swords and bows rather than flamethrowers and rocket launchers.
The creators of Deep Rock Galactic are already working on a new game that will neither be a shooter nor a survival game. The release is planned for 2023:
Call of Duty has collaborated several times with well-known movies and series to deliver special game content: for instance, the Terminator or two characters from the Netflix series “The Umbrella Academy” made their appearance in the shooter.
3 seconds into the new trailer for CoD Warzone Season 4 announce another collaboration with a well-known series: this time with the superhero series “The Boys” from Amazon.
Season 4 may include a special operator skin
During the Summer Game Fest on June 8, 2023, a trailer for Season 4 of CoD: Warzone was shown, in which the new map Vondel was introduced. For a brief moment, the “The Boys” logo can be seen on the wall of a building.
In the trailer, you can see the logo of the Amazon series on the left side of the building at minute 01:01:

CoD Warzone shows Season 4 with new map in the trailer – Fans are excited: “Probably the best season”
What is The Boys? The Boys is a superhero series from Amazon that follows the revenge quest of Hughie Campbell. His girlfriend died in an accident caused by a superhero. Hughie joins the group The Boys, led by Billy Butcher, to take a stand against the superheroes – where the term “hero” is not always appropriate in the series.
Are there any further hints about the collaboration? The collaboration with The Boys is also teased on Twitter. On June 8, 2023, the official Twitter account of Call of Duty posted the trailer for the new season of CoD, which starts on June 14, 2023.

Subsequently, the official account of the superhero series responded with a screenshot of the trailer, showing the logo of The Boys and a cheerfully smiling Homelander, who is a brutal Superman-like character in the series.
What exactly will the collaboration look like? What exactly the collaboration between The Boys and CoD entails has not yet been announced. However, it is suspected that it could be an operator skin designed as Billy Butcher.
Because Call of Duty announced an operator bundle for Season 4 named “Butch”. The appearance of the new skin is currently being kept secret.
Officially, it has not yet been revealed whether it is indeed the leader of the group or perhaps the superhero Homelander, whom the Amazon series had reacted to.

In Fortnite the servers will go down on Friday, June 9, 2023. The game will be unavailable on all platforms during this time (PC, Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, Android). After the maintenance is completed, the update for Chapter 4, Season 3 will go live.

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.
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:

Star Trek: Infinite – Teaser Trailer
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.
When is the release of Star Trek: Infinite? Star Trek: Infinite will be released in autumn 2023 for PC and MacOS.
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!’
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.
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:
Lost Ark shows the new class in the trailer – Swing the brush against Brelshaza
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.
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.
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.
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.
The best counters against Crypto Articuno in raids
Crypto Tyranitar with Smack Down and Stone Edge
Mega Aerodactyl with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Rhydon with Smack Down and Stone Edge
Rhyperior with Smack Down and Rock Wrecker
Crypto Stoutland with Smack Down and Meteor Beam
Terrakion with Smack Down and Stone Edge
Crypto Ampharos with Rock Throw and Stone Edge

Crypto Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash
Crypto Geodude with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Ampharos with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Alola Geodude with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
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.
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.

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.
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:

5 games on PS4 that are so beautiful that you don’t need a PS5 yet
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.
In the accompanying video, we have also compiled five games that still look beautiful today:

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:
Update, June 9, 10:32 AM: The signs are strengthening that Uzi is returning. Several social media posts indicate this. EDG itself and people close to him, like his wife, have made statements that could be understood as hints that Uzi’s return is imminent.
This is being observed and hotly debated on Reddit. Especially in China, this is a big deal.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
Date
Event
From June 1
Research breakthrough with Zobiris*, Tanhel*, Ohrdoch*, Coiffwaff*. Viscora or eF-eM*
June 1 – June 15
Raids with Selfe, Vesprit, Tobutz (depending on the region)
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.

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.
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:
