In Diablo 4 you can unlock many free skins and armor for your trusty horse, but the game does not explain where to find them. We will show you all the known locations and everything worth knowing about the skins.
Where can I find skins and armor for mounts? Players on Reddit have revealed their information regarding the locations of the skins and armor for mounts. The following sources are currently known:
There is also the option to purchase armor and skins in the shop for real money, but Diablo 4 already offers a diverse range of cosmetic items that can be obtained for free without the shop. You just need to invest patience and time.
Where can I find trophies for my mount? Very little is currently known about mount trophies. It is unclear whether they can be found in the world or if they can only be obtained through battle passes or the shop.
How can I activate the skins? To activate skins for your mount, you first need to unlock your horse. To do this, you must complete the quest “Donan’s Favor”. We have summarized everything important for you in a video:

After that, you go to a stable master and can decide how your horse should look and what armor or trophy it should wear.
What skins are available? It is still unknown how many mounts and armor for your horse can actually be obtained for free. We had already listed some of the previously published examples before the release of Diablo 4, so if you want to take a look at them, we will guide you to the list with this link.
What advantages does a mount bring? With the mount, you will be able to travel faster through the world of Sanctuary. It is beneficial to complete the quest so you can more easily explore the broken world and complete dungeons.
Diablo 4 has released its first major patch notes, and we will show you the changes from update 1.008 in English. Small spoiler: All classes are now weaker.
On the morning of June 3rd, a slightly inconspicuous update for Diablo 4 went live. It was again around 300 MB, which hardly makes a dent on the hard drive.
But the adjustments are significant. All classes have been nerfed, the Whirlwind build of the Barbarians has even been utterly destroyed.
If you are still on your way to the endgame, check out our video on leveling to level 100:

Diablo 4: Update 1.008 – Patch Notes
When is the update coming? The patch is already live.
How big is the update? You only need to download around 300 MB.
What’s included in the update? Adjustments for skills, Paragon glyphs, items, and aspects. Additionally, the developers provided an explanation of the thoughts behind the latest changes. You can find the explanation here under the patch notes.
Barbar Changes
Skill: Challenging Shout
Damage reduction at increased skill ranks from 4% to 2%
Aspect: Bold Aspect
Cooldown per enemy reduced to 1.0 to 1.9 seconds (previously 2.7 – 5.4)
Maximum cooldown reduction of 6 seconds
Aspect of the Dire Whirlwind
Critical Chance per second increased only by 3% to 8% (previously 5 – 10)
Maximum only 9% to 24% (previously 20 – 40)
Item: Gohr’s Devastating Grips
Explosion damage at the end of Whirlwind reduced to 16% to 26% (previously 50 – 70)
Damage against stationary objects no longer counts
Explosion damage increased only by the first 100 hits
What do the developers say about the adjustments? Blizzard explains that they are mostly satisfied with the overall class balance. The current changes fall into three categories:
There were synergies that kept some classes alive for too long
Some skills and builds were too weak, and they received a buff
Paragon glyphs are too strong, and adjustments were needed
As a result, many skills that were considered the best options for a class after release were adjusted. Consequently, all classes received substantial nerfs, but also some buffs that may lead to new strong builds.
Guardians in Destiny 2 fight against the enemies of humanity and acquire increasingly powerful gear to face numerous challenges. But caution is required, as not everything that the vendors offer in the game is worth buying.
In Destiny 2, there is a variety of NPC vendors where Guardians can buy weapons, armor, shaders, and other items to equip their characters.
One might think that all the offers presented are good. But beware. Not every item that you can buy in Destiny 2 is worth your materials.
Destiny 2 automatically rewards players with a variety of items while playing. Therefore, it is wise to learn which items are truly worth buying from vendors and which are not.
Here we list the items that you should better avoid, as you can often unlock them for free.

Destiny 2: New dungeon “Ghosts of the Deep” from Season 21 brings the Ghoul into play
1. Ascendant Alloy from Master Rahool
Ascendant Alloy is used in Destiny 2 for weapon crafting to enhance attributes. So those who frequently craft weapons need this material regularly. But sometimes it’s just not enough, and you quickly buy one from Master Rahool in the Tower to craft a weapon.
Much too expensive!
However, you should not do that. The Ascendant Alloy from Master Rahool is far too expensive, which is easy to overlook.
1 Ascendant Alloy costs Guardians a whole 400 Legendary Shards.
Too much when you consider that you would need to dismantle, on average, about 120-150 weapons to gather that amount.
It’s better to earn Ascendant Shards and Alloys. The Nightfalls or the Lightfall campaign missions at higher difficulty levels offer the option for Ascendant Shards, and the Witch Queen activity Supplicant offers Grandmaster Ascendant Alloys.
2. Enhancement Prisms and Cores from Master Rahool
Quite an expensive affair: Buying Enhancement Prisms
In addition to the Ascendant Shards, Enhancement Prisms are a rare and valuable item in Destiny 2. Equally important are the Enhancement Cores. Some players swim in them, while others have to painstakingly save them to upgrade gear for endgame content.
It’s tempting to buy them from Master Rahool in the Tower.
1 Enhancement Prism costs there 400 Legendary Shards.
1 Enhancement Core costs 30 Legendary Shards.
Don’t let the offers seduce you here either. Enhancement Prisms and Cores can be obtained much faster and for a small time investment for free. For example, through rank-ups in playlists, conveniently from the Season Pass, or from Nightfalls.
3. Glimmer for Always Here Pieces from Master Rahool
Master Rahool sometimes asks too much of you
The maximum amount of Glimmer one can have in Destiny 2 is currently 250,000. But you quickly notice: If you create many masterpieces, buy bounties, craft weapons, or treat yourself to a new Exotic at the Monument of Lost Lights, that sum can quickly disappear.
If you’re low on funds, it’s tempting to quickly swing by Master Rahool and buy Glimmer there, so you can perhaps take all bounties at the Tower stop.
There you can exchange Legendary Shards, Dark Fragments, Illusory Fragments, or Always Here Pieces for 10,000 Glimmer.
The exact price may change daily.
Anyone with enough Legendary Shards can do that. But you should really only sacrifice an Always Here Piece if you have plenty of those rare drops. Because you need them on Europa to buy bounties from Variks for the “Beyond Light” weapons, like the auto rifle “Arctic Mist” or the rocket launcher “Under Zero Salvo.” They each cost you 30 Always Here Pieces.
You need Always Here Pieces for Variks – so keep an eye on your stock before buying Glimmer
However, since Season 19, it has become much easier to get Glimmer, as Bungie activated the Glimmer Boost for that.
Guardians can earn between 10,000 and 12,500 Glimmer when completing Heroic Public Events.
And those are just the base values without Ghost mods that boost Glimmer and without activated bonuses. So there’s quite a bit more to be earned per event.
So the next time you’re low on cash, take a moment, hop out of your Sparrow, and help other Guardian comrades get some of that pretty shiny Glimmer for yourself instead of buying it at a high price.
Don’t know how events in Destiny 2 become heroic? Then check out this list:
4. Glimmer and Legendary Engrams from the Star Horse
Say hello to the “Price Gouging Horse” in Eternity
Don’t be dazzled by the glittering Star Horse offer in Eternity at Xur. Here too, some offers are pure extortion.
Apparently, the Star Horse is not only fond of sugar cubes but also of Strange Coins. It offers players two extortionate deals to acquire this valuable item from them.
So it wants a pitiful sum of 1000 Glimmer for 5 Strange Coins.
For 3 Strange Coins, you also get a Legendary Engram from it.
So be warned: None of these offers makes sense and is a waste of your Strange Coins. Especially the Legendary Engram is absolutely not worth this expense. You can get that for free in the Open World at any Public Event.
It’s better to buy the Paraversal Fragments. Because they usually drop more and better items, making this investment worthwhile.
On the next page, you’ll find out why you should also pay close attention to weapons from Banshee-44.

Currently, you can get Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales for PS5 and PS4 on sale in the PlayStation Store. According to Metacritic, the game is one of the best PS5 games of 2020.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an action-adventure game and a single-player title where you must prove yourself as a young aspiring hero.
The game was developed by Insomniac Games and released by Sony Interactive Entertainment in November 2020.
Here you can see a trailer for the Spider-Man game:

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Launch Trailer – PS5, PS4
Step into the shoes of Peter Parker as Miles Morales
The game picks up after the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. The teenager Miles Morales fights crime in Manhattan as Spider-Man just like his mentor Peter Parker.
A gang war between the Underground, led by the leader Tinkerer, and the private army of an energy company threatens the home of Miles, whose abilities as a superhero are put to the test.
In third-person view, you swing through the open world and complete missions where you capture criminals, rescue civilians, or destroy jamming devices.
Miles possesses special powers, like the “Venom Blast,” where he performs an electric attack. He also has the ability to become invisible.
Additionally, useful gadgets assist you in your crime-fighting, such as “Gravity Wells,” which can hold multiple enemies at once.
At the PlayStation Showcase 2023, several trailers for upcoming games were presented. Gameplay for Spider-Man 2 was also shown:
How much does Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales cost? You can currently get the action game with a 50% discount in the PlayStation Store. Instead of €59.99, you pay €29.99. The offer ends on June 13, 2023, at 00:59 (as of June 4, 2023).
How is the game rated? Marvel’sSpider-Man: Miles Morales scores very well on Metacritic, both with critics and players:
The Metascore for the PS5 version is 85, while the user score is 7.7. The Spider-Man game ranks 4th in the Metascore ranking of the best PS5 games of 2020.
Many players praise the beautiful graphics of the game as well as the fun gameplay, although some users feel the scope of the game is too small:
myskQl: “Beautiful game. Wonderful story and open world. There are many additional missions. The environment has become more lively and realistic”.
Ihead_shotu: “I would give it a 10, but 7 is appropriate because the story and gameplay are great. But what was not good was the length of the game. It felt like a DLC to me because it was so short. […]”.
Haydentheman: “I just got a PS4 and the first game I played was Spiderman Miles Morales. I’m a huge Spiderman fan and this game finally does him justice in the video game world since Spider-Man 2. This is my favorite game of all time and the graphics are stunning, even on a PS4. […]”.

Legendaries are a complex topic in Diablo 4. Effects can be extracted and then transferred to other items, but what should you keep in mind? An expert on Diablo made a big mistake and explains to you what you should pay attention to.
Who is the expert? DM: Diablo 4 is his name. He became known on YouTube through his videos about Diablo Immortal and has been active in Sanctuary again since the release of Diablo 4, streaming and informing players with useful guides about things to consider in the hack & slash.
This time DM made a mistake and now warns you not to make the same one. It’s about legendaries and their effects that you can extract at the Occultist.
Another mistake you can make is selecting the wrong world level. We show you why level 1 is better:
Start video
Diablo 4: That’s why you shouldn’t play on World Tier 2
A wrong decision can be very costly
What was the big mistake? Players can get legendary items in Diablo 4 and then convert them into aspects at the Occultist. Aspects are basically materialized legendary effects that you can imprint onto other rare or legendary items.
The problem, however, is that Blizzard does not explain to anyone how exactly the system works, whether aspects can be used infinitely, and how this relates to the values and their increase.
That’s why the YouTuber now regrets his decisions at the Occultist and warns you not to hastily waste your legendary aspects.
Aspects have their own tab in your inventory
What should you consider? DM: Diablo 4 advises you (via youtube.com) to be careful about when you use your legendary aspects, as these are consumed once the Occultist has fused them into other items.
If you remove an aspect from a legendary item, you can only use that aspect once – unlike the aspects from the Codex, which you find in dungeons.
If you don’t do this, you are basically wasting your aspect and, as DM: Diablo 4 says, even hundreds of hours if you waste an aspect that is close to perfect values and fits your build. The YouTuber has now played for 70 hours and already feels bad.
So take your time and don’t waste your aspects. Try to understand the system and secure your legendary effects in your chest before you accidentally consume or leave them behind.
As part of the Battle League updates, the move pool of some Pokémon will also be adjusted. New attacks are added, some moves become stronger, and some Pokémon simply get a few new attacks in their set.
This includes Tyranitar. It will indeed receive the move “Whirler” in its move pool. And with that, the monster becomes a must-catch for all trainers.
Start video
Pokémon GO shows the new season ‘Hidden Gems’ in the trailer
How strong is Tyranitar with Whirler
This is what makes Tyranitar special: Tyranitar is already a quite popular attacker, but with Whirler it gains a new quality. Because with the new attack, it is catapulted to the top of the Dark attackers.
The regular version of Tyranitar now ties with the current top attacker Trikephalo, while the Shadow version of Tyranitar with Whirler even surpasses it, writes Pokémon GO analyst Teban54 (via reddit). In terms of damage per second, the Shadow version is even slightly stronger than the currently unavailable Mega Evolution of Tyranitar itself.
However, you shouldn’t just look at the Shadow version of Tyranitar, as the upcoming Mega Evolution could also turn “normal” Tyranitar into particularly powerful raid attackers.
Here, you just have to wait until the evolution is available. And even if the damage per second will be slightly below that of the Shadow version, the Mega Evolution is more durable and also brings bonuses for the other battling Pokémon in raids.
This will make Tyranitar a damn strong monster in raids that you should add to your team – especially when facing Psychic or Ghost Pokémon. And even as a Rock attacker, it remains a very good option.
You must keep this in mind: To get Shadow Tyranitar, you first need a Shadow Larvitar and must evolve it accordingly – otherwise, you won’t get access. Additionally, it will be necessary to unlearn the move “Frustration” before you can equip Tyranitar with Whirler. Here, some effort is needed.
Mega Tyranitar, meanwhile, won’t appear until July. So, there is still some time left. Nonetheless, it’s already worth starting the search for a powerful Tyranitar that can eventually be leveled up.
By the way, you don’t need a Charged TM for Whirler. You can teach Tyranitar the move with a completely regular TM.
The MMORPG Black Desert will receive its new expansion “Land of the Morning Light” on June 14. This will do away with the usual grind spots and replace them with boss fights. Additionally, it offers some unusual innovations. We at MeinMMO will present you the contents in more detail.
What is included in Land of the Morning Light? A major focus of the new expansion is on the story. However, it is not told in a linear quest series, but instead features 15 different, small story chapters that you can follow in a new “Story Book” within the framework of 8 stories. As already in the “Eternal Winter” expansion, there will be cutscenes and spoken dialogues.
Typical grind spots, for which Black Desert is well known, will also be omitted. Instead, there will be the Boss Rush. In the new area, you can expect a total of 8(+1) bosses, each with 10 difficulty levels. The fights are designed to be challenging and equipped with various mechanics.
The interesting thing about the boss fights is that your gear does not play a significant role. Instead, you can level new attributes specific to these fights. This especially helps players who have not yet grinded for strong gear.
Moreover, the expansion brings:
New enemy types
2 new housing spots
A new ship
A new minigame for the life skills
New endgame equipment
You can watch the first trailer here:

Black Desert – Trailer “Land of the Morning Light”
Beautiful environment, immersive story and a new mechanic for boss fights
What is the setting of the expansion? The new areas are said to look graphically beautiful, with huge bamboo trees and colorful flower fields. You can also expect several new enemy races, including the Horang – two-legged tigers – as well as the Hare (rabbits) and the Tortoise (tortoises). Additionally, new workers and a production node will be included.
Black Desert’s Executive Producer Jaehee Kim said in an interview with us:
With Land of the Morning Light, players will be able to experience breathtaking new graphics that are inspired not only by the Korean Joseon Dynasty [the last phase of the royal era], but also have never been seen before in any currently available video game, allowing them to experience something entirely new.
We believe that the new expansion will bring a certain freshness to the game that goes beyond the weekly updates that Black Desert provides to players.
A part of this freshness comes from the story. This will be told in over 100 cutscenes and 5,000 voice lines. However, it deviates from the overarching story of Black Desert and focuses specifically on the island and especially the bosses there. Land of the Morning Light is therefore designed to function “standalone” and make sense even if one only plays the expansion’s story.
Overall, there will be 15 story chapters, all of which begin in the new city of Dalbeol Village. You will activate them via a story book. The order does not matter, but you can only follow one story at a time.
Although developing stories with such a focus is costly and requires various review processes and localizations, we will continue to face these challenges as we want our players to enjoy our game in an even more immersive and exciting environment.
Jaehee Kim
By the way, anyone who completes all 15 chapters will receive +1 AP and +1 DP for the entire account family – a nice little bonus.
This is what the new story book looks like.
What is behind the boss rush? The centerpiece of the new areas is the boss rush, which replaces traditional grind spots. There are 9 bosses, each with its own theme, 10 difficulty levels and its own attribute, including sun, moon, and earth.
You should be able to defeat the low-level bosses without the special attribute, but for the high levels, you will need to focus on that. There are the “Jewels of Light,” which you can collect in the new area. You can then invest these into an attribute. However, their number is limited, so you can only specialize in a few attributes and not be ideal for every boss. For 2 million silver, you can reset the distribution at any time.
According to the developers, about 90% of the damage and your defense comes from the new attributes and only about 10% comes from your normal equipment. This means that even players without ideal endgame gear can be useful.
The system is intentionally aimed at new players, the developers say. However, for veterans, there are leaderboards for speedkills. In this case, every little percentage of gear also matters. You can take down up to five bosses per week.
What other new contents are there? In addition to new endgame armor, life skills have also been worked on. There is a quest line for collecting plants, which then unlocks a minigame. This will randomly appear during further collection activities, and upon success, you will receive more loot.
For hunting, there is also a new Marni rifle, which deals more damage and gives more loot when you take down creatures with a headshot.
How do I access the new content? To be able to enter the new expansion, you must complete the “Abyss One: Magnus” questline. This consists of a total of 110 quests starting at level 15. However, for newcomers, this should be feasible in a few hours.
Land of the Morning Light will be released in the first half of the year
When will the expansion be released? In Korea, the expansion was released on March 29, while the western version will be released on June 14. The developers mention localization as the main reason for the delay between the two versions.
The localization process for Land of the Morning Light is proceeding more smoothly than in previous updates, and we expect it to be completed earlier than originally planned […].
Is it worth starting anew with the expansion? We also asked Jaehee Kim this question. He says:
Black Desert welcomes everyone in the world who wants to join our adventure. We want to provide an experience where every player can enjoy the game as they see fit, which is why we are always thinking about the experience of new players.
What we are really trying to achieve is to bring joy to all players, whether they enjoy fishing, gathering, or fighting monsters – so much so that they don’t even realize they are staring at the ocean all day, thinking how beautiful it is. […].
We hope that Black Desert becomes more than just a game: a companion and a place where players can come together and share their joy, sorrow, frustration, and happiness in life.
A good time to start in Black Desert is the new seasons. In them, you level up characters faster, get useful gear from quests, and PvP is temporarily disabled. Currently, the spring season is running until April 19. The next season is expected to begin in May.
What do you think about the new expansion? Do the ideas and concepts appeal to you? Or can you simply not warm to Black Desert? Feel free to write it in the comments.
Researchers attempted to depict and analyze player behavior towards the end of the (virtual) world in a study. They received support from the developer XLGames, who had provided data from a beta of the MMORPG ArcheAge for this endeavor. You can find out what conclusions can be drawn from this here.
How was the investigation conducted? The company behind ArcheAge provided data in the form of a MySQL database with a size of 45 GB. The database contained information on when and which activities users engaged in. Meanwhile, the developer is already working on ArcheAge 2.
The scientists studied the dataset and categorized it into 11 areas. These included:
Combat
Party
Dungeons
Battlefield
Siege combat (including guild vs. guild)
Raid
Family/Guild
Interaction with the game world (e.g., farming, wood gathering)
Creation of items
Housing
PvP
The dataset came from the fourth closed beta of the MMORPG ArcheAge and thus covers 11 weeks. Over the weeks, the game data was analyzed based on which of the mentioned categories players engaged in and to what extent.
Additionally, aspects such as the chat history during the closed beta or PvP, as well as virtual deaths, were examined during the testing phase. A total of 270 million lines of data were considered for the study. By the way, ArcheAge: War is gearing up for 2023.
Check out the trailer for ArcheAge: War here.
Start video
Trailer for the new MMORPG ArcheAge War
What do the measurements show? If we start with combat, players fought intensely through the game world during the entire time. Only in the last week, just before the end of the virtual existence, did the slaughter decrease.
Additional content such as dungeons was engaged with intensively starting in the third week, but was nearly abandoned by week 9 of 11. Raids, on the other hand, started in the second week but were not played further past the tenth week.
Players began experimenting with housing from the third week onwards. However, housing failed to generate further interest from the tenth week of the closed beta.
The creation of items, however, found favor with players well into the tenth week. Yet this category, like interaction with the game world, receded into the background afterward.
Grouping peaked early on, in the second week, but steadily declined over time. By the tenth week, there was also a lack of group participation and activity here.
PvP and battlefields started moderately in the third week and ended with similarly low intensity between the ninth and tenth weeks. Siege battles were hardly ever conducted.
Family and guild activities were measured highest at the beginning of the testing phase. However, these activities also disappeared from the tenth week onwards.
Interestingly, virtual deaths increased significantly in the last third of the closed beta. On the other hand, the guild chat stood out positively towards the end, as the content was friendlier than at the start of the closed beta.
What do the measurements say? The researchers conclude that many of us will be doing quite well should the end of the world loom.
The increased virtual deaths, however, are a sign that some of us players can become bloodthirsty beasts. Furthermore, players do not engage in their normal activities towards the end, but give up, or rather, the character development. This is evidenced by the radical decline in all activities during the last 2 weeks of the closed beta.
Certainly, this behavior is observed in a game, but according to colleagues at PCGamer (via PCGamer), these studies are based on the so-called mapping principle, namely: a behavioral and explanatory model.
The principle behind it allows us to transfer results from players of the MMORPG ArcheAge to the behavior of those individuals in a real situation. Of course, this is a theoretical model that is not 100% accurate. It merely offers a way to derive behavioral patterns in real-life situations.
In addition, it was noted that the chat assumed a more positive tone towards the end than at the start of the closed beta. In the end, it seems that tempers cooled down somewhat, and more attention was given to interaction among one another rather than the game itself.
Whether MMORPG players are better equipped for an apocalyptic scenario due to the complexity of the games is debatable. Nevertheless, the data reveals interesting details about how precisely a developer monitors a testing phase and how it unfolds.
What do you think of the study? Do you agree or do you doubt the transfer of behavior to real situations or an apocalyptic scenario? Please share your thoughts in our comments.
In Civilization 6, the strategy hit on Steam, 12 new leaders have been added since November 2022. And it seems like in real life: China is ahead and surpassing the USA. We look at the new fan favorite: Yongle.
What role do leaders play in Civilization 6?
Each civilization in Civilization 6 has special bonuses and traits. They are suitable for different play styles and determine what type of victory one aims for. With the Chinese, one particularly enjoys building wonders, with the Dutch, the focus is on trade, as the Macedonians, one wants to conquer the world.
The leaders set the additional rules under which one plays Civilization 6. They bring their own flair and bonus abilities to gameplay: Germany plays differently depending on whether you approach as Barbarossa or as fairy-tale castle king Ludwig II, who is rewarded by the game for placing foundations for wonders in the landscape that are never completed.
Since the release in 2016, more and more leaders have been added to Civilization 6, so that some civilizations now have multiple leaders to choose from that allow different playstyles. Some leaders even have “alternative versions”.

CIVILIZATION VI – Launch Trailer
This is now the most popular of the new rulers: Civilization 6 introduced the most popular rulers from the Leader Pass on May 31. The pass brought a total of 12 new leaders to the game from November 21, 2022, to March 29, 2023. Now, after 2 months, Firaxis evaluates which of the 12 is the most popular new hero:
In 1st place is Yongle, a Chinese ruler – he was added to the game on January 19, 2023
Abraham Lincoln comes in 2nd place – he joined Civ 6 in November 2022
Tokugawa takes 3rd place, he entered the strategy game in December 2022

Yongle can quickly unleash cities and grow an empire
Why is Yongle so strong? Even in January 2023, right at the release, the community agreed: “Yongle belongs in S-Tier” or “Yongle is simply OP”:
Yongle gives his cities access to 3 special projects that convert 50% of their production into food or faith, or 100% of the production into gold. When cities reach a population size of 10, they also generate gold, science, and culture for every additional citizen.
On reddit , it was already said in January that Yongle has insane potential:
You can either play tall with him (few but large cities) or wide (many but small cities)
First, you can found as many cities as possible and let them grow extremely fast due to the food bonus
Once they are large, the bonuses really kick in
Apparently, players of Civ 6 love that they can use Yongle so flexibly to prioritize food, faith, or gold depending on the situation. Once you have built a huge empire with large cities and see how the values explode, it feels fantastic:

In Diablo 4 you can gain advantages with elixirs, provided you do not die in combat while trying to consume one. We show you a small trick on how to safely consume elixirs in heated situations.
What is the problem with the elixirs? In Diablo 4, there is a wide range of potions that heroes can brew and consume to gain bonuses. These “elixirs” also provide an additional 5% more experience points for 30 minutes.
The problem, however, is that consuming such potions is cumbersome, takes many seconds, and leaves you motionless before you can break free from the menu. Moreover, it is easy to forget to regularly drink the elixirs.
In the worst case, you may die while trying to consume a potion because the enemies are chasing you and will tear you apart. But there is an easy way out of this misery: it’s your emote wheel.
You can also escape from enemies on a horse. We show you how to get one:
Start video
Diablo 4: How to unlock your first mount
Emote wheel saves you time and can store potions
How does the trick work? You can store any potion in your emote wheel to use selected elixirs with just 2 clicks. Here’s how:
Open the emote wheel
On PC with “E” and on console with the D-pad up
Now you can select the option “Customize”
Now a new window opens with various tabs – here you select “Consumables”
A list of all possible potions opens, now select a potion
Now you can assign this to one of the three available emote slots
Any potion can be assignedAny position can be adjusted
After the process, you have customized your emote wheel and can consume a potion of your choice faster. Now you just need to remember to take the elixirs as well.
What advantages do potions provide? Each potion offers its own advantages. Whether you want more armor or increased attributes, the potions assist you with that.
Nevertheless, many heroes consume elixirs to benefit from the 5% XP buff, as every elixir that can be crafted or found provides this buff.
In Diablo 4 it is all about the hunt for the next powerful equipment piece. If you play with the standard settings, you cannot see how powerful your pieces actually are.
What are these settings? In the options under the “Gameplay” tab, you will find the following settings:

Advanced tooltip information
Enable both options to get significantly more information about your equipment pieces.
What do the values mean? This unlocks important displays on the info panels of your equipment.
With the tooltip comparison, you get shown every time which values / affixes you lose or gain when you change your equipment piece. The change of a value is also visible.
The tooltip information is even more powerful. It shows you the range that the values of an equipment piece can have. Only then can you see if your piece has good values compared to the maximum value.
Additionally, there is information on whether a value is added (+) or if the values have multiplicative (x) effects.
The tooltip settings allow for a deeper insight into your own values and are essential for understanding which equipment pieces are truly strong. You need to see whether you are at the minimum of a value or if the piece even has a maximum value that cannot be better.
During the leveling process, this is not as important, but the further you progress in the game, the more you should know about your equipment and the possible values.
Hyper Light Breaker is set to release a roguelite on Steam in 2023, combining cooperative gameplay with a constantly changing open world.
What kind of game is this? With Hyper Light Breaker (PC), developer Heart Machine is bringing a roguelite this fall that you can play solo or in online co-op with friends. The anime-style title adopts a third-person perspective and action-packed gameplay that relies on both ranged and melee weapons.
What makes the game special is the open world, which changes with each new attempt and is procedurally generated. As is typical for roguelites, your new attempt begins with the death of your character, which will inevitably happen time and again.
In the ever-changing game world, there are various characters you can meet and biomes you can explore. Throughout the gameplay, you will also need to ask yourself whether you really want to explore the map or not, knowing that it will look different upon your next respawn.
To speed up travel within the open world, there are also gliders and boards that you can see in the gameplay reveal trailer of the game:

“When I saw this trailer, I fell in love immediately”
What do players say? On YouTube, some players have commented on the gameplay trailer of Hyper Light Breaker. Many emphasize how good the game world and combat system look.
satanicpuppyoverlord9054: “My most anticipated game of the year. I think about how much I wish it would come out every day. Roguelite, multiplayer, open world, character creation, Hyperlight universe, and the art style! I’m so excited!”
Aodan: “I loved [Hyper Light] Drifter, now in 3D, with co-op and action combat – feels like a good mix of the concepts behind it!”
Brixxter: “I’ve never seen or heard anything from your [Heart Machine] previous games, but when I saw this trailer, I fell in love immediately. I can’t wait to play this.”
While some players are excited about Hyper Light Breaker because they liked its predecessor, Hyper Light Drifter, which came in a retro pixel style and had no 3D representation, other commentators compare the game to Nintendo’s successful title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW):
penitentestudios1492: “In my personal opinion: I can’t wait for this game to come out. The open-world gameplay reminds me of Breath of the Wild, with a touch of cyberpunk. I also love the combat, it’s so satisfying, and I can’t wait for what else this game has to offer.”
stemike7956: “I know developers hate being compared to other games, but this looks like the best parts of Nier Automata and Breath of the Wild, I’m really excited about it.”
At the PlayStation Showcase in May, we also saw a survival game that already mentioned Zelda: BotW as inspiration for its gameplay during a Q&A session:
The standard edition of Diablo 4 costs 70 euros on PC. However, not all players have to pay for it if they draw enough attention to the action RPG.
Who gets Diablo 4 for free? Content creators who meet certain conditions.
A few days ago, Adam Fletcher, Global Community Development Director for Diablo 4, stated that creators can sign up for a campaign to receive a free PC code (via twitter.com).
You can find out what the conditions are here. If you’re still looking for leveling tips, check out our video:

Diablo 4: How to quickly reach level 100
How do you get into the club? Fletcher’s tweet leads to a page called “Woovit,” an influencer platform. Here are the general conditions for a free PC code:
Invitation from the publisher
Operate a Twitch account with “Partner” or “Affiliate” status
On YouTube, you need 1,000 subscribers, at least five times as many channel views, 5 published videos in the last 90 days, and 240,000 viewer minutes
The conditions can certainly be met by hobby streamers, but not by regular players who want to participate in the action quickly.
So you already need a certain community or at least 3 loyal viewers on Twitch who regularly support you during streams. The affiliate status on Twitch is probably the easiest to achieve:
Although “easy” is easy to say here. Even these numbers can be hard to achieve on the competitive streaming platform Twitch. Some small streamers have been trying for ages just to get the affiliate status.
All other players have no choice but to dig into their own pockets. After all, the tests and reviews for the action RPG look extremely good, and there are many fans here at MeinMMO.
Are you into action and plenty of cool fights? Then we have 5 anime for you that should definitely match your taste.
Although the anime medium is constantly trying to showcase to the world that there are also profound and demanding stories, sometimes you just want a bit of raw action.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen: Studio Mappa has proven with Jujutsu Kaisen that almost everything they touch turns to gold. If you’re into non-stop action with intriguing characters and an exciting story, Jujutsu Kaisen is a perfect choice. The anime has won numerous awards since its release and was even crowned “Best Action Anime 2022” on Crunchyroll. A definite must-see for every action fan.
Attack on Titan
Alternative names: Shingeki no Kyojin, AoT Genres: Action, Military, Drama Episodes: 88 (Final film coming in Autumn 2023) Stream available on: Crunchyroll
Attack on Titan tells the story of Eren Jaeger. He lives with his family and all other people within the protection of several large walls that separate the realm from the outside world. The reason: gigantic humanoid monsters, known as Titans, that inhabit the world and devour humans alive. His previously carefree life comes to a sudden end when one of these Titans breaks down the wall and the monsters flood into the city.
Eren loses his mother here and subsequently joins the army to stand against the Titans — not only developing unimaginable powers but also uncovering a massive conspiracy.

What to expect from Attack on Titan: Attack on Titan starts as a typical action anime, focusing on brutal scenes and even some horror elements. However, as the story progresses, AoT increasingly develops into a thriller with strong character development, where former heroes turn into villains. Few anime in recent years have managed so well to expand the world piece by piece. What begins as a small, isolated area gradually evolves into a world-spanning political thriller — yet it does not lose any of its action or brutality.

In Pokémon GO the new season “Hidden Gems” has begun and a number of new events have been announced. One of these excites our author so much that she even cancels her birthday party for it. Which one it is and why she doesn’t want to miss it, you can read here on MeinMMO.
Which event are we talking about? In the coming weeks, a lot is happening in Pokémon GO again. From powerful raid bosses to cool spotlight hours and special themed events, there is something suitable for every trainer.
One of these events has particularly caught my attention: The Community Day in June with Milza. But exactly on this day I actually had other plans than to play Pokémon GO. What I had actually planned and why I ultimately decided on the mobile game, I will explain to you below.
I would rather catch Milza than celebrate my birthday
What struggle do I have with the C-Day? One of the highlights in Pokémon GO are the monthly Community Days. During these, a specific monster is highlighted for a period of 3 hours, and the corresponding Shiny chance is increased.
Depending on which monster it is for the respective Community Day, it usually suffices for me to catch a few of them to secure at least one or two shiny specimens. However, for June, the developers have chosen a very special event Pokémon for the format: Milza.
The date could not be worse from my point of view, because the Community Day collides exactly with my planned birthday party. But that is no reason for me to miss out on the dragon Pokémon.
Why do I absolutely want to secure Milza?
While most other trainers would probably skip the three-hour event and rather celebrate their birthday with their families, I decided to play Pokémon GO on this day. Instead of coffee and cake with family, I will be diligently throwing balls. And I have a clear mission. What that is, I have summarized for you below:
My first Shiny-Milza: Even though Shiny-Milza has been catchable in the game for a good year and I completed countless raids at GO Fest 2022 to finally secure it, I was unfortunately not lucky so far.
But with the Community Day in June, my moment has finally come. And it doesn’t matter to me that the Shiny rate is particularly increased that day, and I will therefore be one of many who will finally call a Shiny-Milza their own.
Instead, I am looking forward to finally evolving my Shiny-Milza into Maxax. I really like the last evolution in the shiny variant with its black body and red horns.
Milza and its developments normal (top) and as Shinys (bottom)
Catching perfect Milza: Besides a Shiny-Milza, I hope on this day for a perfect specimen, one that has an IV of 100%. Even though Milza itself is not particularly strong and therefore has little use in the GO Battle League and raids, the situation is completely different with its final evolution Maxax.
The monster can score with an enormous attack value and also has solid defense and stamina values. For this reason, it is among one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. Therefore, it absolutely must not be missing from my collection.
We will show you more strong attackers in Pokémon GO in the following video:
Start video
Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video
Farming candies: The Community Day is also a good opportunity to farm candies. The dragon Pokémon from the 5th game generation belongs to the monsters in the game that can only be rarely encountered outside of certain events.
Due to this rarity, it is usually a small challenge to collect enough Milza candies. Through GO Fest 2022, I was able to significantly replenish my supply, but there is still room for improvement.
All the better that you can not only encounter the little dragon at every corner during the Community Day, but the event also brings double candies when catching. And the chance for XL candies will also be increased again. Therefore, I will not miss this opportunity and will try to collect the required 296 XL candies for a Maxax power-up to level 50.
With the reduced trade costs up to 5 hours after the event and the guaranteed XL candy that will be available during the current season “Hidden Gems”, my husband and I will trade the caught monsters after the C-Day and thus collect a few additional candies. Maybe a strong lucky Milza will come out of it.
If I achieve all three of my set goals, it would be a really cool birthday present for myself. Whether this will happen remains to be seen.
Are you also looking forward to the Community Day with Milza? What goals have you set for this day? And would you also cancel your birthday party for it? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
It’s Friday again, which means that the mysterious merchant Xur has stepped out of the shadows to offer the Guardians of Destiny 2 his exotic goods. So be ready to browse your collection of exotic armors and weapons and exchange Legendary Shards for them.
Update June 3, 2023: After a bug with the Titan Exo “Kephris Horn”, Bungie first disabled the Exo and then switched the Iron Banner mode to get the problem under control. So you will no longer play in the “Control” mode, but now “Eruption”.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? The Iron Banner event returned this week and gave the Guardians the opportunity to fight for glory and rewards in intense PvP battles. As it should for the relaxed Season 21 with the mode Control.
In addition, the Guardians have rediscovered an old love, as Bungie has blessed it with 8 buffs. That makes the old Exo Malfeasance a real monster and can even score in the endgame.
But other exotics are also back. Players are currently discovering options with the Arc shotgun “Legend of Acrius” and using the new, albeit ugly, Warlock helmet Zenopath Mask for surge rifles.
In the Lightfall story, a certain thing is becoming more and more apparent, which you may have already seen in the first trailer for the next Destiny 2 DLC The Final Shape: The River of Souls. Osiris learns about him from Nimbus and also reports to Ikora.
Start video
Destiny 2: Teaser trailer for the DLC “The Final Form”
All info about Xur on June 2, 2023 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S
When does Xur come? Xur, the Agent of the Nine, appears in Destiny 2 every Friday at 7:00 PM. His visit then ends again on the following Tuesday at 7:00 PM. During this time, Guardians can purchase exotic items from him.
Where is Xur? This is his camp for the weekend
Xur’s position: Xur’s location changes every week, making it a small challenge for the players to find him. MeinMMO is, however, always hot on his heels and posts his location every Friday, so you don’t have to search for long.
Here is where Xur is located: In the European Dead Zone, Twisted Cove
ETZ – Twisted Cove
Xur’s inventory from June 2 – June 6 – All exotics at a glance
What does Xur have on offer? Even in the Lightfall DLC, Xur does not tire of doing business. The nice “I am the messenger of the Nine” conversation is included for free, as every weekend.
And here it is certainly worth listening more closely, as the Nine seem to be getting a bigger role in Destiny 2 soon. At least if we believe the Vagabond in Season 21, who says they always knew where the journey was heading.
Xur’s inventory from June 2 – June 6.
Weapon: Workhorse, auto rifle for 29 Legendary Shards
Titan: Unyielding Lion’s Boots – leg armor for 23 Legendary Shards
Mobility: +6
Resilience: +8
Recovery: +20
Discipline: +20
Intellect: +11
Strength: +2
Total: 67
Hunter: Aeonswift – arm armor for 23 Legendary Shards
Xur sells not only the current but also Legendary items and offers unique rolls for exotics from no longer available exotic missions of past DLCs every week. However, please note: You can only buy the weapons if you also own the appropriate expansion.
Currently, he has these two weapons on offer:
The exotic hand cannon “The Lament” (Beyond Light DLC) with Moving Target
The exotic scout rifle “Tale of a Dead Man” (Beyond Light DLC) with Lawless
Lord Saladin will dominate the weekend in PvP
This weekend, the Guardians have to do without the sweaty Trials of the 14th Holy. Because it’s Iron Banner time and both events don’t mix well together.
Fight in the Iron Banner and become the Iron Lord yourself
Unlike in the PvP endgame, “Trials of Osiris”, the Iron Banner is not just about winning at all costs, but also about having fun.
The Iron Banner requires skill, strategy, and above all teamwork. Because those who fight alone will quickly realize that they have worse chances against collaborating enemies.
So grab your favorite weapon, howl in a pack and show everyone who the real ruler of the Iron Banner is.
Which mode is being played this week? Currently, you can experience “Control” in the Iron Banner. So quite classic, which is what many Guardians like best.
This loot is available in the Iron Banner: In the Iron Banner, Guardians can earn and also focus on many weapons.
These two weapons are currently available in the Iron Banner of Season 21
The Void grenade launcher “Raven Swarm” is returning with a rapid-fire frame. It is a guarantee for high damage numbers with smart grenades. All other perks are helpful but not a “must have”.
Additionally, a new weapon is coming to the Iron Banner, which will be a strand fusion rifle. What it can do, players will be able to discover from this evening.
In addition, the origin perk “Stealthy Wolf” ensures that with these weapons at low health and successful kills against guardians, you have improved radar and are removed from the enemy radar.
Furthermore, Lord Saladin offers armor focusing from old seasons, so you can now complete your collection directly.
When does the Iron Banner officially end? Lord Saladin’s PvP activities end with the weekly reset on June 6 at 7:00 PM. That is also the departure time of Xur.
That was all the info for the weekend in Destiny 2 and the offer from Xur and Lord Saladin. Specifically, the Iron Lord creates a pleasant competitive atmosphere upon his appearance as the players fight with him in a more relaxed atmosphere than in Trials for glory, honor, and exclusive gear.
What are your best exotic weapons or armors that Xur has ever dropped for you? And which mode is your favorite in the Iron Banner? Feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and recommendations with us and the Destiny 2 community.
Blizzard has experienced many highs and lows with World of Warcraft by now, both in the MMORPG and (unfortunately) outside the game. Nevertheless, MeinMMO author Jakob Gerden was entertained by WoW up to the expansion Legion. However, with the release of Battle for Azeroth, he eventually started looking for other MMORPGs. He reveals why he is playing WoW again here.
At the release of World of Warcraft, I was still playing the MMORPG Everquest 2. I liked leveling up my character there and improving it, and I swore my loyalty to both that and the game at the time. Unfortunately, I had not counted on my guild and friends.
One after the other started to drop out. While hundreds of thousands flocked to WoW, I found myself on a server with only about 3,000 people left. Naturally, I was also drawn to the world of the Warcraft games, which I have actively followed since Warcraft II.
When I finally looked at WoW with a friend of mine, specifically the side of the Horde, I found the world and characters, the entire look, simply coherent. Thus began my personal adventure in World of Warcraft.
Check out the most important features of the Dragonflight expansion here.

WoW shows the main features of Dragonflight in the gameplay trailer, fans praise: “Finally hype again”
The departure from WoW was a gradual process
This point was rather a gradual process, which became so pronounced by the release of the Battle for Azeroth expansion that I started looking for other MMORPGs.
I’ve always loved exploring the world of WoW, especially playing the story with its quests, which then led to dungeons. These could be entered together with other players, but first you had to form a group on site.
It was always a great experience to run the dungeons for others and their progress. This offered a unique sense of community to this day. But unfortunately, for me, the dungeon finder – a tool that I now find useful but back then ruined everything.
It became nothing special to travel to a dungeon. It also took away – admittedly, sometimes it was tedious – the need to cobble together a group. Now it was just a matter of choosing one’s role and off you went.
The chat was reduced to a minimum. It started with a Hi, but over time, the chat was used only for flames when the tank, for example, made mistakes in the dungeon.
Especially in the Battle for Azeroth expansion, the spectacle really picked up speed, where watching cutscenes during raids was ruthlessly punished by groups. In the end, it was all about how quickly one could get through the content.
At some point, Battle for Azeroth felt like work
It simply felt like work. The flat story in my opinion did its part. The island expeditions and the grind for Azerite for a few more traits didn’t appeal to me anymore.
In the end, it was all about random loot, which, it is rumored, had increasingly gained traction to balance new and old players. However, the grind became excessive for me, similar to Black Desert Online. Plus, I didn’t like having to complete raids often at fixed times.
Through Dragon Riding in WoW, I experienced open world anew
As the Shadowlands expansion also fell short of my expectations and the Shadowlands did not really convince me, I followed WoW from a distance.
The announcement of the Dragonflight expansion caught my attention. A new, colorful world, with the urge to explore it and ride dragons? Also a new story and many changes, including to the crafting and talent systems? Sounds like a radical cure – it seemed too good to be true.
Besides the new content, such as additional dungeons or the Dragonflight Expedition faction, I found the revamped crafting and new talent system, especially the dragon riding, particularly interesting. This now offers a specialization and a general talent tree in which points can be diligently invested.
Above all, I was fascinated by the open design of the Dragon Isles. Where mountain ranges previously enclosed and limited zones, they now appear, especially through the deliberate use of flying dragons, as beautiful additions and not annoying obstacles.
The Dragon Isles feel much more open to me, like a real open world, than any other zone I explored before my departure from WoW. Sure – everyone defines their ideal MMORPG differently.
However, the label of open world is for me what makes a good MMORPG. The freedom to do everything, whenever and wherever I want. That’s why I tried my hand for a long time at sandbox MMORPGs like ArcheAge or Black Desert Online.
Blizzard has succeeded in making me spend another €50 for the Dragonflight expansion again.
First steps in a new world
Excited, I climbed the tower before the gates of Orgrimmar to travel to the Dragon Isles with my freshly baked level 60 warlock. I almost missed the zeppelin and could only reach it in time with my flying mount.
Once there, the visuals immediately caught my eye. A world characterized by extremes unfolded before my eyes. First, there were the lands, crisscrossed by lava, including the camp of bloodthirsty monsters. On the other side, however, lush green revealed itself to me, dotted with ruins and mountains.
However, the mountains are no longer a problem due to the ability to fly in the Dragon Isles. It’s also a huge fun to take paths with your dragon. Adjusting the scaly mount is a nice little bonus as well.
Finally, I had something to do. Besides the side and main quests, other tasks presented themselves to me that I could fulfill, for instance, by defeating opponents, like the hearts in Guild Wars 2, which I could directly fill. First rewards beckoned.
Since then, I continue my journey in Dragonflight and look forward to the tasks of the Dragonflight Expedition and the new dungeons. I have already installed suitable add-ons like Hekili and others for this endeavor.
What is your opinion on the Dragonflight expansion? What aspects do you like, and which do you dislike? Is there anyone who has also re-entered with Dragonflight or has tried WoW for the first time? Please write in our comments.
