You can quickly earn money in Red Dead Redemption 2 with gold bars. We will show you where to find them and how to sell gold bars.
If you want to earn a lot of money in Red Dead Redemption 2, gold bars are a good way to do it. Selling gold bars is one of the methods to earn money quickly in RDR 2.
Gold Bar Locations and Missions
You can sell gold bars for $500 each. Therefore, it’s advisable to collect these hidden bars and later sell them to the fence.
Gold bars are hidden: Because they are so valuable, you won’t find the gold bars just anywhere along the road. They are hidden in various spots and sometimes also rewards for missions. We will show you in this overview where to find the gold bars.
Completion of Chapter 2
One of the easiest ways to get gold bars is to follow the main story. As soon as you complete the second chapter, you will be rewarded with gold.
Gold Bars in Limpany
There is also a gold bar hidden in the abandoned spot of Limpany. The sheriff had stored it in his office and apparently did not take it with him.
You can find the gold bar in the sheriff’s house. Go inside and immediately to the left around the table. Under the desk, in a box, lies the bar.
The treasure maps in Red Dead Redemption 2 can be found scattered around the world or bought from treasure hunters. To do this, you first need to reach Chapter 2. If you solve them, you will be rewarded with gold bars.
You get 2 gold bars for completing the Jack Hall Gang treasure hunt
If you solve the Poison Path treasure hunt, you even receive 4 gold bars
The puzzle of the strange statues rewards you with 3 gold bars
The mission Le Trésor des Morts is exclusive to pre-order customers of the digital version and owners of the Special/Ultimate Edition. Completing it grants you 5 gold bars.
Look for the derailed train in Granite Pass north of Valentine. The search will be worth it, as there are 2 gold bars waiting for you. In the embedded YouTube video, you will see where to find the bars.

In the MOBA DOTA 2 (Steam), an incident shakes the global community of players on reddit. The Russian professional player, Andrew “Kom4rt” Ivanchikov (22), told a teammate to take a cue from the streamer “SexyBamboe” and kill himself. Players are demanding a permanent ban for the pro.
This caused a stir: A screenshot from a DOTA 2 game was posted on reddit:
In the screenshot, the Russian pro player Kom4rt tells the Twitch streamer xcaliburye that he is the bad player in Dota 2. He should take a cue from SexyBamboe and kill himself.
This causes a lot of outrage on reddit.
Some players demand that Valve permanently bans the pro player to set an example.

What makes the case so sensitive? The statement is widely regarded as extremely tasteless and even described as atrocious.
People are irritated that a human being, “SexyBamboe,” who passed away in December 2021, is being dragged into this, as his family requested not to speculate about his cause of death (via dotesports).
SexyBamboe played for numerous teams from 2011 to 2021, later becoming a professional caster and was popular among many DOTA 2 players.
The fact that the Russian pro now instrumentalizes his death in this way as an insult is very upsetting to many DOTA 2 fans.

Even hardcore MOBA players find the statement too far
What is the reaction? The players of DOTA 2 are considered tough, but the flame goes too far for many of them, especially since a popular Twitch streamer, XcaliburYe, is insulted:
“The guy has earned in his life with DOTA as much as Xcalibur makes in 2 weeks on Twitch” – Kom4rt has earned about 4,460 $ with DOTA (via esportearnings).
“I know I can annoy in DOTA 2 too, but I would never have even thought about something like that. The guy deserves a perma-ban.”
“This is not flame, the shit is atrocious”
“Talking about suicide is already a stupid thing, but dragging SexyBamboe into it crosses the line far. This guy should get a permaban from Valve to set an example.”
Important Note:If dark thoughts are troubling you: You are not alone. Please seek help. For example, at the telephone counseling service at 0800/111 0 111 or at the online counseling, where you can also use a chat. It is free and valid nationwide.

A new racing game on PS5 reminds players of their childhood as it lets iconic toy cars zip through a living room.
Which game is it? The trailer announces a sequel to Hot Wheels Unleashed with “Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged,” a racing game that lets you control the toy cars of the same name.
The racing tracks also visually resemble the tracks that could be bought for the toy cars. Like in the first part, there should again be a comprehensive editor that allows players to design their own racetracks similar to Trackmania.
In addition, the game offers online multiplayer and over 130 vehicles, whose designs players can customize according to their own ideas.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged will be released on October 19, 2023, for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
You can watch the announcement trailer for Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged here:

Hot Wheels Unleashed announces a successor in the trailer
What does the trailer show? In the trailer, we see a race with the iconic toy cars. The track features various obstacles such as a looping, various jump sections, and descending balls meant to knock the cars off the track.
We also see that the racetrack not only runs on the orange track parts but also leads the vehicles over a table in a family’s living room or through the garden. The cars must overcome not only stone tiles but also tall grass and a sandbox.
What do players say about the trailer? In the comments on YouTube, many players feel nostalgic and reminded of their childhood.
keyseronthewire2575: “Awesome! I’m so glad we’re getting games like this! Whenever I see the Hot Wheels I played with as a kid, I get so nostalgic.”
shiond123: “This hyped me more than the entire PlayStation showcase.”
kummer45: “I imagined this when playing with my toys as a child.”
giaourtoskordion9478: “The game I always wanted as a kid.”
spidermax9002: “Let’s be honest, we all miss our childhood when we see something like this.”
Although it seems some missed the first Hot Wheels Unleashed, the anticipation for the second part appears to be high.
If you are into not only Hot Wheels but also the Warhammer universe, you can currently test a racing game on Steam that lets you compete with armed vehicles against other players.
The start of the LCS was initially scheduled for June 1st, but it has been postponed due to some issues. Instead, today you can expect a LoL tournament with old pros who were once real celebrities in the LoL scene.
What’s going on in League of Legends right now?
Originally, the start of the LCS Summer Split was set for today, June 1st
However, pros announced a strike beforehand and wanted five demands met
So who will fill the evening program for June 1st?
Streamer has a bright idea: Even though the tournament’s original start date has passed, there will still be great LoL entertainment. Although not in the “true” sense, it will feature many familiar faces. They are at least well-known if you have been following the scene for a while.
Dyrus and Imaqtpie are playing for the LoL tournament
Who is hosting the tournament? The well-known streamer DisguisedToast. In a tweet, he announces: “Don’t worry, LCS fans – We’ve got it covered for tomorrow. DSG vs The Best NA Dream Team (Delta Fox).”
Who is playing? The Best NA Dream Team includes
Dyrus in the Top Lane (31 years old)
Many probably still know him from his time at TSM. Those who have been active in the LoL scene for a long time might remember his pillow, which he brought to some tournaments. He played for about a year in the Top Lane for Team Epik Gamer. He then switched to TSM in 2012. He played for the team for more than three and a half years. From 2015 to 2017, he was also active as a streamer for the team.
Imaqtpie in the Mid Lane (31 years old)
Many will still know him as one of the biggest streamers of League of Legends. In 2015, he regularly streamed for over 30,000 viewers during his LoL matches. He started his career in Team Dignitas in 2011, which lasted about three years in this team.
Shiphtur in the Jungle (30 years old)
He began his career at Team Dignitas in May 2014, which lasted over two years. He became known for his interesting picks and skills with mages.
Scarra as Support (33 years old)
Scarra became known in the LoL scene as a Midlaner for Team Dignitas. He played in the lane before Shiphtur joined the team and then switched to a coaching position. He remained in the LoL scene, like the other celebrities on the list, as an expert in official streams.
Voyboy as AD Carry (28 years old)
He was deployed as a player in Team Dignitas in 2011 and was active there for seven months. After that, he played for CLG and then began a nearly two-year career at Team Curse – initially as Top Laner, then in the middle.
They are playing against the new DSG team consisting of (via Reddit):
FakeGod in the Top Lane (23 years old)
Young in the Mid Lane
Tomio in the Jungle (19 years old)
Meech as AD Carry (21 years old)
Zeyzal as Support (23 years old)
These players are primarily young talents, many of whom are currently playing in academy teams. This is also interesting because the strike in the LCS is focused on the preservation of these teams.
30+ Party in Summoners Rift: Almost all of the veterans from the Dream Team are already over 30 years old. Except for Voyboy, who already had his nickname “the Kid.” I myself am also over 30 and started with LoL during a beta phase sometime in 2009. Back then, streams were slowly becoming bigger, and true fan movements developed around teams like TSM, CLG, and also Dignitas. People bought merchandise to support their teams. I was a fan of TSM. Especially Dyrus, with his calm demeanor, was always likable to me. The pros from back then, whose every game I hardly missed, seeing them together again in a showmatch makes me very happy. And many more LoL fans should feel the same way. And even if you don’t know the players from “back then,” you can look forward to great entertainment thanks to their personalities.
When is it happening? The showmatch is taking place tonight (on June 1st) at 11:00 PM German time (2 PM PST). Will you be watching the match live or as a VOD, or does only the LCS count for you and a showmatch cannot capture your interest?

When Sir Patrick Stewart received the offer for the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, he knew nothing about Star Trek. He took the role despite initial doubts. Stewart did not expect the television series to be so successful.
How did Patrick Stewart get the role of Captain Picard? The science fiction series took off from the original Star Trek from the 1960s. Stewart was offered the role, but he knew nothing about the series and involved his children as advisors, who encouraged him (via Mirror).
He remembers coming out of an afternoon performance of a play he was in and putting his children to bed before he had to return to the theater. On the television was “that thing on TV with those people in colorful T-shirts. […] And that’s all I remember,” Stewart said.
Here you can see the trailer for the current third season of Star Trek: Picard:

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Trailer (German)
He thought he could go home after 6 months
Why did Patrick Stewart have doubts? The creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, was actually against Stewart’s involvement in the series. Gene reportedly said to his team after the first conversation: “Well, that’s an actor we will never see again.”
This made Stewart very insecure. The fact that his wife stayed in London with the kids because she didn’t like Los Angeles didn’t help either.
However, producer Rick Berman insisted on casting Stewart after three audition dates.
What convinced him then? In an interview with “The Late Late Show”, Patrick Stewart stated that his agent told him that one could not resurrect an iconic series. He should go, shoot 12 episodes or fewer, earn money for the first time in his life, and go home (via Espinof).
The prediction for him and his role was therefore: 6 months, not longer.
You can watch the interview here. The mentioned statement can be found at 3:20 minutes:

Even after the start of filming, the doubts did not completely leave the actor. Patrick Stewart remembers his beginnings in Star Trek, which he apparently found quite difficult:
I was alone here during the first season – for 10 months – and I lived like a hermit, partly out of fear because I realized the enormous responsibility I had with the show, especially regarding the many lines I had to memorize every day and then forget and then learn anew scene by scene.
I was afraid that one day I would show up on set and not be ready. I didn’t want to be the one who goes on set and doesn’t know his lines.
How did it go after that? The prediction didn’t quite come true. From the “12 episodes or fewer” came seven seasons (1987 to 1994), four movies, and from 2020 another Star Trek series. Patrick Stewart received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1996 and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2010 for his contributions to acting.
Sir Patrick believes that the role of Captain Picard was his greatest achievement – on screen, but also off it. According to Patrick Stewart, Star Trek carries an immense responsibility: “There were so many letters and comments where people told me that this show helped them in their childhood.”
Another popular series has not left some actors with such fond memories:
Diablo 4 starts today for its Deluxe pre-order customers and opens the gates to hell so that you can greet Lilith. Everything you need to know about the launch in Germany, the time, and the game is summarized here for you.
When does Diablo 4 launch in Germany? Diablo 4 launches on Friday, June 2nd at 01:00 AM German time. Only players who purchased the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition can take advantage of early access. Players with the standard version will have to wait until June 6th.
Here in the article, you will find some important information, class-level builds, and guides for the launch.
If you are still unsure whether you should buy Diablo 4, we have an opinion from our Diablo expert Benedict Grothaus in the video:

How good will Diablo 4 be? The expert’s conclusion after the test
Everything Important for the Launch – Builds, Guides, and Tips
Tips for the launch: If you are experiencing Diablo 4 for the first time, we advise you to enjoy the game.
Blizzard has created a story that can keep you engaged for 25 to 30 hours – with various cutscenes, boss fights, and quests. The world also offers a large, interconnected area that is waiting to be explored.
So take your time on foot or with your mount and discover a dark side of Sanctuary.
If you prefer grinding and want to quickly level up your hero to his maximum level and reach the endgame, we have a detailed leveling guide for you:
When does Season 1 start? The first season is scheduled to release in mid to late July 2023. Until then, you have plenty of time to enjoy the story and get familiar with all classes.
In July 2021, the MMORPG Swords of Legends Online was released on Steam and in the Gameforge client. Initially, it was quite successful, but player numbers dropped quickly. The developers switched to Free2Play and even released an expansion. However, the shutdown has now been announced for the end of June.
What kind of game is this? Swords of Legends is an Asian MMORPG that places a high value on a traditional Chinese story. You experience a classic battle of “Good versus Evil”.
When creating your character, you have the choice of now 9 different classes
You level the class through a linear story while exploring various areas
In the endgame, there are dungeons and raids in three difficulty levels, housing, various life skills, and PvP in arenas, battlegrounds, or endgame areas
The equipment system was always fair, and nothing could break during upgrades
A successful start, but no consistent player numbers
What does Gameforge say about the shutdown? In an FAQ regarding the shutdown, the publisher spoke very openly about the biggest problem: player numbers. Although SOLO had a “successful launch” that was said to have exceeded expectations, the player numbers are now simply too low.
Swords of Legends Online was launched with the hope of providing our users with an exceptional gaming experience, and we are pleased to say that it had a successful launch, which exceeded expectations. Despite the initial joy and success, the required number of players for sustainable operation of the game could not be maintained.
Swords of Legends Online is developed by Wangyuan Shengtant Entertainment. The Chinese version will continue to run, but the shutdown is only in the West. However, it is not possible to transfer accounts. On the one hand, the Chinese version is at a completely different state, and on the other hand, the transfer is not GDPR-compliant, says Gameforge.
With the shutdown, the forums will also be disabled. The purchase of real money currency is already no longer possible.
Why couldn’t the MMORPG retain players? Actually, SOLO had a lot of potential. A beautiful game world, action-packed fights, a lot of story, a major focus on dungeons, and an extremely fair shop. It avoided typical Asian elements like Pay2Win, equipment destruction, or endless grinding. But success did not follow.
A major problem was already the leveling phase. It was quite monotonous, very linear, and was only fun during the first playthrough. However, for twinks, the exact same quests had to be played in the exact same order. Those who had already played the beta were hardly motivated to level in the live version.
However, you had to reach the max level to unlock relevant content like dungeons, life skills, or housing. At launch, there were also localization errors and some performance issues.
In the endgame, too slow content was provided for hardcore players, while there was hardly any new blood coming into the MMORPG. Moreover, achievements in a game that hardly anyone actively plays meant almost nothing. Races for world firsts eventually ceased.
What SOLO did well and where the issues were from the perspective of hardcore players were discussed in more detail in a player interview:
Also in terms of marketing, Gameforge lag significantly behind the larger titles that were released a little later, such as New World in September or Lost Ark in February 2022, which came just before the first SOLO expansion in March. Both relied on large Twitch streamers and contests on social media.
What do you think about the death of Swords of Legends Online? Did you expect it or are you surprised by the shutdown? Will you miss the MMORPG or had you completely forgotten about it?

There are ongoing discussions about World of Warcraft. This time, it’s about a community that offers its services for gold. They claim to have been penalized by Blizzard, as the developer of the MMORPG removed 5 billion gold from the players.
What kind of community is this? Specifically, it is a boosting community. Such a group is dedicated to offering help, called boosts, in the game for gold. This help ranges from dungeon runs to raids for various items and achievements.
These organizations also offer their services across servers by taking players into raids for gold so that they can obtain specific achievements or certain items, often over multiple runs.
Check out all dungeons for WoW: Dragonflight here.

Why are these unauthorized services? Last year, Blizzard changed its policy, allowing guilds to offer such services. However, they can only advertise them in a specific trade chat.
However, there are still outliers in the chat, and advertising continues in other channels. Players are free to report this advertising accordingly.
What happened with Nova-Boosting? The community has particularly focused on the EU, offering corresponding services for World of Warcraft here.
As announced on their Discord channel, Blizzard apparently deducted 5 billion gold from the responsible individuals of Nova-Boosting and set the accounts of the players to 0. A severe blow for Nova (via Discord).
They further explained via Discord that it is no longer possible for the community to continue their service. The statement was followed by the closure of the offer.
On Reddit, screenshots of a supposed exchange with Blizzard’s support were shown. Among other things, text excerpts indicate that due to the use of exploits, the gold or other items are permanently gone.
In addition, Nova stated that they have paid out players with a gold fee of 10%. What these players did with their shares of gold – meaning whether they also sold it for real money – is something Nova cannot say, as it is not their responsibility to determine what the players in the community do with their gold (via Discord).
Reddit User: Would expect Blizzard to also ban the accounts
How much money was lost? Assuming that 1 WoW token, which can be purchased for €20, currently brings 333,671 gold, it would be nearly €300,000 that one would have to invest in tokens to obtain 5 billion gold (via wowtokenpieces.com).
What was the community’s reaction? Some users, however, have a particular suspicion that it was not Blizzard who acted here, but the responsible individuals themselves, regarding why the gold has disappeared (via reddit.com):
Reddit user norielukas: Why should they be the ones targeted and not another community? Without any announcement from Blizzard (as they did with gallywix). There is a good chance that some guy thought, damn, I can sell all that gold and make real money
Reddit user raginglovecat agrees: Why does Blizzard still allow them to log in and play? I would expect them to permanently ban all those accounts and not take the gold from them one by one.
Thus, further comments similar to these can be found in the Reddit thread that assess the situation in a similar manner. Whether it was actually Blizzard who took the gold or if it was an excuse from Nova to perhaps sell it further cannot be verified at this point.
What do you think? Do you believe Nova’s statement or suspect something else behind it? Let us know in the comments.
Before the release, Diablo 4 was available to some testers. One of these testers made it his mission to complete the game – and he succeeded. Rob2628 not only reached the maximum level, but he also mastered the most challenging content.
Who is the player? Rob2628 runs a rather small channel on YouTube and streams on Twitch. The streamer was invited to test Diablo 4, which was available from May 16 to 26 for press and other guests.
Diablo 4 will be released on June 6, with Early Access starting on June 2. In our overview, you can find all information about the release of Diablo 4. You can watch Rob’s video here:

This is what Rob2628 has achieved: As the player shows in his video on YouTube, he has reached level 100 with his Barbarian. This is the maximum level of Diablo 4 and is supposed to require far more than 100 hours.
But that’s not all. Rob has also reached World Tier 4 and mastered a nightmare dungeon at level 100. Nightmare dungeons are harder versions of the dungeons from Diablo 4 and become increasingly difficult with rising levels.
For comparison: during the test, we struggled with World Tier 3 after about 30-40 hours, and I almost failed in a nightmare dungeon at level 1. Rob also secured equipment at the highest level.
The player used a Whirlwind build for the Barbarian, which is traditionally one of the popular playstyles of the class. In this, the Barbarian “whirls” through enemies and deals massive damage while healing himself.
The conclusion about Diablo 4 after the test can be seen here:

How good will Diablo 4 be? The expert’s conclusion after the test
“Doesn’t look fun”
The video was also shared on Reddit, where the community is actively discussing it with over 1,500 comments. Major point of criticism: the numbers. Damage numbers in the millions are visible, something Blizzard actually wanted to avoid.
The numbers remind players of Diablo 3 and are said to be “the worst part” of the game. They are inflated and, at this level, absolutely meaningless. And a build that relies 100% on the effect of an item does not look particularly fun.
Those who generally have little to do with numbers see nothing important there and do not know how to classify it. Sometimes you can’t even read them because there are so many at once and they pop up constantly.
The criticism itself is taken somewhat cynically by some other fans. You could just go back to Diablo 2, where there are no numbers and everything simply dies, which is of course “completely different.” There, you only care about when Baal reappears and laugh.
Also, the fact that one gets so hung up on this detail seems kind of ridiculous. It feels like wanting to complain just to complain. The numbers can anyway be turned off, and the pure gameplay of a Barbarian mowing through hordes of demons is pretty cool.
What do you think of the video?
If you also want to try being a Barbarian, here are tips for leveling:
Diablo 4 apparently attracts many players who grew up with Diablo. A fan from the older generation has started a call to look for other “old gamers” and received hundreds of responses, some with astonishing stories.
On Reddit, a 56-year-old player speaks up and asks: “Older gamers, please chime in.” Within a few hours, he receives over 800 responses, many from users who are even older than he is.
One player mentions that he is now 60 and can hardly wait for the release. The reaction of other users: “My father is 60 and doesn’t even know what Facebook is.” In another comment, an even older gamer speaks and says that games help him stay fit:
74 here. My body is falling apart, but my mind stays sharp when I hunt the Butcher and his brood.

“We should form the Old Lady Alliance”
In the most popular comment of the thread, a gamer explains that his mother has pre-ordered Diablo 4. She is now 75, and Diablo helped her through her divorce back when part 2 was released. Other women chime in, some “only” 40, others already 63.
The group is now considering forming a clan in Diablo 4, the “Old Lady Alliance” or the “Old Wise Lady Squad”, short: O.W.L.S. There, they would chat over tea with the grandchildren during the day and go demon-slaying in hell at night.
We even know from some users here on MeinMMO that older gamers and parents are joining in to play with their offspring. Ambrosia, for example, writes he is 48 and will go hunting Lilith with his 25-year-old son.
Why are “old gamers” fascinated by Diablo 4? The Diablo franchise has been a pillar of gaming since 1996 and is one of the most famous game series. Diablo, being quite a brutal game, already appealed to a more adult audience back then. Now, almost 26 years later, the latest entry in the series, Diablo 4, is set to release and apparently attracts many fans of the earlier parts.
However, some new features that have shaped gaming for years are not necessarily popular with a segment of this generation:
A young woman deceived elderly people out of their savings to buy Apple products. It’s about more than 150,000 euros. Now she has been caught and must go to prison for 2 years.
A 24-year-old Briton pretended to have a package for the elderly to ask for their credit card, and with the credit card, she went shopping at the nearest Apple Store. In total, she managed to defraud more than 150,000 euros. Now she has been sentenced to 2 years in prison and must pay back the damages.
The fraud began in December 2021. Here, the 24-year-old Briton contacted an 86-year-old man and obtained his credit card. In a first attempt, she tested the credit card and in the next step withdrew 8,000 euros to buy various Apple products.
In another case, she told a 70-year-old woman that she was from her bank and needed to take her card for verification. She withdrew 8,200 euros from this card and also bought Apple products with it.
In the following months, she refined her scheme to avoid detection. For this, she also changed regions to cover her tracks. In total, she is said to have defrauded more than 150,000 euros from elderly people to buy Apple products.
After her arrest, she pleaded guilty and was convicted.
Criminals often take advantage of the loneliness and willingness to help of elderly people
Fraudsters, especially target elderly people to get money. Because here, one often receives high willingness to help or people are happy about the attention.
The most well-known scams, according to the Police NRW, are the so-called “grandchild trick” or pretending to be a policeman. Financial problems are then fabricated or it is explained that a burglary is imminent.
The police always advises in such actions to first call the local police agency at the phone number 110 and explain the facts to them.
In Pokémon GO, you can evolve Evoli into Pokémon like Aquana, Psiana, and Feelinara. In total, there are 8 evolutions of Evoli. We will show you here which is the strongest and best development.
What is it about? In Pokémon GO, you can choose which Pokémon you want to evolve your Evoli into. The evolutions are:

The best evolution?
What matters: The best evolution of Evoli depends on your situation. It depends on what you need the evolution for. Do you mainly play PvP and don’t do any raids, or do you want the evolution just to support your raids?
Important about Evoli In Pokémon GO, Evoli is not a rare Pokémon. You can easily get the candies for it and evolve some of them. There is no super evolution that everyone must have. Much more, the evolutions are found in the midfield of attackers – an exception is Nachtara.
For PvP: Here, the choice should mainly fall on strong Nachtara if you don’t have one yet. In the Super League, it achieves a proud 4.5 out of 5 possible points according to Gamepress.gg. In the Hyper League, it reaches 4 out of 5 possible points (via GamePress.gg). Thus, it is not a top-tier attacker, but belongs to the stronger representatives in the leagues. The combination of high defense and HP value makes it a good tank there.
For Raids: Glaziola is worthwhile for many trainers as a raid Pokémon. This is also because there is a limited selection in the ice attacker sector. Moreover, there are many trainers who use dragons as defenders in gyms. With Glaziola, you easily put them on their knees. Of all Evoli evolutions, we see Glaziola as the best choice for raids.
Psiana is also a strong attacker for its type. However, the uses for psychic attackers in Pokémon GO are manageable since there are not many raid bosses of the fighting and poison types.
Feelinara is found in PvP in the midfield of the best attackers. It also does not play a crucial role in raids. It ranks between Togekiss and Gardevoir among the attackers.
Folipurba is still okay for raids. However, one finds attackers like Roserade quite frequently at Pokémon GO events. As a supplement, one can consider Folipurba but should make space for stronger attackers like Roserade.
Nachtara plays no role in raids in Pokémon GO as an attacker. In raids, you should prefer to choose Despotar or Snibunna from the dark type.
Aquana, Blitza, and Flamara can be a good choice for beginners. However, they are rather “intermediate steps” on the way to the right Pokémon needed for raids. An overview of the best attackers in Pokémon GO can be found here on MeinMMO.

The Spanish streamer Ibai still holds the record of 3.3 million viewers on Twitch. He now admits in an interview that he actually doesn’t like video games, but rather E-Sports.
Who is the streamer? Ibai Llanos now has over 13 million followers on Twitch. He has built a certain audience by streaming League of Legends, but then largely moved away from gaming and focused on E-Sports and entertainment.
Among other things, he organized and streamed a boxing event, during which he broke the viewer record on Twitch.
Here you can see 5 big German female streamers:

Ibai is about competition
Why doesn’t he like video games? In an interview, Ibai admitted that he doesn’t actually like video games, but rather enjoys E-Sports (via 3DJuegos). Although he still streams games like LoL and Minecraft on Twitch, he is more active in the “Just Chatting” category.
Ibai likes the competitive nature of video games, which is why he primarily enjoys multiplayer games like League of Legends or Valorant. He has no interest in games like Bloodborne:
I don’t actually like video games. […] I don’t want to play Bloodborne, even if someone would pay me for it. In fact, I don’t accept collaborations for video games. I used to do some with certain horror games, something I thought could be fun, but I don’t like video games. I like E-Sports. I played Call of Duty, I competed in Call of Duty; I played LoL and commented on LoL. Because I like E-Sports, not video games.
Ibai noted in the interview that there are many streamers on Twitch who are very good in Just Chatting but aren’t particularly talented in video games. Nevertheless, they create good content. And he also records great successes in the popular “Just Chatting” category.
He plans more streaming events. With the boxing event “La Velada Del Año” he broke two viewer records. The third will take place on July 1 in Madrid and will of course be broadcast on his Twitch channel.
When the streamer was awarded the German Computer Game Award as Player of the Year in May, it attracted numerous critics, including KuchenTV, who believed Shurjoka did not deserve the award.
Shurjoka will take action against defamation and threats
What is the current development? In her stream from May 24, Shurjoka said that she has filed a defamation complaint with the help of a lawyer. In addition to KuchenTV, the streamer also intends to address threats of violence, including explicit threats of sexual violence.
Shurjoka has the impression that since her criticism of Harry Potter, she has become a “target” for many. Now she is being attacked no matter what she does.
The streamer says that whenever influencers like KuchenTV talk about her, she receives a barrage of insults, slurs, and even threats from their communities.
She must endure discourse and other opinions, but no defamation: “I can’t handle that people put words into my mouth.”
Shurjoka also describes a kind of vicious circle; if she responds to criticism, others use it for their content: “I can’t defend myself either, because as soon as I say something, it becomes a new YouTube video.” That then leads to further attacks from respective communities.
Now she has initiated legal action because she feels she has no other way to help herself.
Legitimate criticism of her is fine and even welcome.
On Twitter, she summarized her position once again:
Streamer is bothered by the claim that she is “extremist”
In particular, Shurjoka is disturbed by the designation “extremist”, as this label implies that she is anti-democratic and willing to use violence. The streamer politically identifies as clearly left, but emphasizes that extremism is not simply a catch-all term for views one disagrees with.
Here at MeinMMO, our expertise lies in gaming and everything related. If you want to learn more about the topic of extremism, you can read the history and definitions of the term at the State Center for Political Education Baden-Württemberg.
Shurjoka explains that she has decided, in consultation with her lawyer, to make the legal steps public. For certain content creators, it simply comes with the territory to use criminal proceedings against themselves for their own content.
Before others make the complaint public, she would rather do it herself in her own words. However, she is aware that videos will emerge again from her stream on May 24.
Exactly that happened.

How does KuchenTV react? The content creator reacted in a stream to Shurjoka’s statements. However, he does not take much of the accusations against him seriously. He published the hour-and-a-half reaction unedited on YouTube. We have summarized some of the most important statements for you:
He denies having fixated on the streamer: “I just report on what there is to report.”
In his opinion, it is Shurjoka who has defamed and ridiculed him in reactions: “She can do that about others, but when others do that about her, it’s the worst thing in the world.”
KuchenTV denies that large parts of his community spread hatred against Shurjoka and threaten her with violence. If individual viewers behave that way, that’s “stupid” and he also hopes that the streamer will report these viewers.
The streamer can do nothing about individual messages from his fans and cannot take action against them.
KuchenTV says Shurjoka could have sought a personal clarifying conversation with him instead of filing a complaint.
Overall, KuchenTV stands by his statements. That Shurjoka wants to take action against him “just because of that one word” he refers to as a “clown show.” However, he admits that he could have expressed himself better.
Regarding legal consequences, the streamer remains remarkably calm: He has “the best lawyers in defamation law”.
In conclusion, KuchenTV states: “I just want her to lose.” For him, it’s very exciting, and he will keep his fans updated.
Additionally, KuchenTV published another video on May 31 about Shurjoka’s complaint, which he simply had to make. In the video, he criticizes the streamer for putting herself in a victim role and reiterates that he would have preferred a clarifying conversation.

Many players take extra vacation days to play their favorite titles right at release. Two Japanese men went a step further and even took a part-time job to get their hands on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom sooner. However, they committed a crime that was uncovered by the mother of one of the criminals.
What did the two do? The 21- and 24-year-old individuals devised a sinister plan, reports the portal 3djuegos. They accepted a part-time job at a subcontractor of Amazon about a month before the release of Zelda: TotK. The company specializes in the delivery of goods and receives the items to be delivered about three days before the sales start.
At the release of the game, the two were supposed to deliver the physical copies to customers, but they were nowhere to be found a few days before the launch. They had actually planned to play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom before the release and thus stole two copies from the warehouse.
One of the two crooks even went a step further and took other items as well. He stole a total of ten additional items such as a Pro Controller, another copy of TotK, Zelda amiibos, and an Amazon bonus spoon that was exclusive to Japan. He intended to resell the stolen goods to make a profit.
What excites the two criminals about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be seen in the following trailer:

How was the crime uncovered? Their boss called the mother of one of the criminals. The mother explained that her son was doing well and was just playing a video game. This revealed her as a heroine for the company.
The boss found out that this was about the new Zelda title and confronted the criminal. The game had not yet been released at that time, so he couldn’t have played it yet. Subsequently, the crime of the other crook was also uncovered.
What kind of punishment did they receive? The two crooks received a comparatively mild punishment. They were immediately fired and only had to replace the items they stole. According to reports, there was no police report filed.
The boss has confirmed to Japanese media (via bunshun.jp) that such incidents with part-time employees occur more frequently. This makes it difficult to verify which supplier committed the crime.
In Pokémon GO, a new season has started, including a trailer. In it, a green energy beam is currently causing excitement.
What’s going on in Pokémon GO? In Pokémon GO, the new season “Hidden Gems” began on June 1, 2023. It comes with various spawns, raid bosses, and events – and one of these events is the GO Fest 2023 in summer.
This GO Fest is already teased in the new trailer for the current season. And even though there is still a lack of precise information: One particular detail caught trainers’ attention.
If you check out the trailer at minute 00:51, you will briefly see a green energy beam being shot from a tower into the sky, just after the mention of the GO Fest:

For many trainers, this is a clear hint at one of the most anticipated Pokémon in the game: Mega Rayquaza. It has long been one of the most popular monsters in the Pokémon community and would also be one of the absolutely best attackers in Pokémon GO.
What does Mega Rayquaza have to do with the energy beam?
Here’s the hint: Not only the green color of the energy beam but especially the comparison to an epic scene from the games “Omega Ruby” and “Alpha Sapphire” is currently leading trainers to speculate that Mega Rayquaza’s debut in Pokémon GO is imminent.
A corresponding comparison image was posted by user “Dark_Lord_Cthu1u” in the Pokémon GO subreddit:

More and more trainers are now speaking up on social media, convinced that this is a hint at Mega Rayquaza.
The scene with the energy beam in Alpha Sapphire / Omega Ruby shows exactly that: Rayquaza lifts off within the beam towards the sky and transforms into its Mega variant upon entering space.
The signs are intensifying: In fact, the energy beam is just the next hint regarding Mega Rayquaza, as the arrival of Proto Kyogre and Groudon has already been seen as a step towards its debut. In the lore of the main games, these are indeed the two major adversaries of Rayquaza, which could only be contained with the help of Mega Evolution.
Now the assumption is that Mega Rayquaza might become the big monster at GO Fest 2023. Officially, however, nothing is known in this regard yet. So it’s a matter of waiting.
What do you think? Is the debut of Mega Rayquaza coming soon? Or could the energy beam indicate something else? Let us know in the comments!
ASUS introduced a huge curved monitor at Computex in Taiwan. It reminds one of Samsung’s well-known Odyssey series. The community is positively surprised.
Monitors have been getting larger for several years now, with some gamers even buying a big TV and connecting their gaming PC to it. Last year, Samsung made waves with a brilliant monitor.
Now ASUS has introduced a 49-inch QD-OLED monitor. The technical details sound promising at first, but some gamers are already worried that the device could be very expensive.
49-Inch QD-OLED Monitor with 4K Resolution and 144 Hz
Asus showcased a new 49-inch QD-OLED monitor at Computex. The new display comes with a resolution of 5,120 x 1,440 pixels. You can imagine it as if you were placing two WQHD monitors (1440p) side by side. ASUS opts for a 1,800R curvature to ensure that the user of the monitor has everything in view.
However, there is a weakness in the technical details compared to the competition: The QD-OLED model comes “only” with 144 Hz. The Odyssey Neo G9 for 2,200 Euros has a refresh rate of 240 Hz.
What will the monitor cost? So far, ASUS has not mentioned a price for the monitor. The Odyssey Neo G9 cost around 2,500 Euros at launch. The new gaming monitor from ASUS could cost similarly. For that amount of money, you could also buy a powerful gaming PC with a fast graphics card instead.
How are players reacting? Mostly positively. Some explain that they are looking forward to the new model, even though the price is likely to be quite high. Some comment (via reddit.com):
“The specifications are great, but if they could just move away from the red-black, gamer bro, plastic Ferrari aesthetic, I would be thrilled. They have maintained it for the last 15 years, so I’m not optimistic.”
“I have been waiting for something like this. The problem is, they will set the price unreasonably high, around 4,000 dollars.”
This is great news. I have been wondering when someone would bring an OLED version to the market.
There are already significantly more expensive devices on the market. Another model from Samsung costs around 3,500 Euros. MeinMMO introduces you to this model and explains what you get for that much money:
Hidden behind a waterfall on the Dragon Isles of WoW, you will find a 34-slot bag. We show you the location of the “Misty Pouch.”
What is the gift? In World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, you will be rewarded for exploring the world. Sometimes these are treasures that give you toys, sometimes they are just beautiful spots on the map, and in this case, it can also be a useful bag.
We found a “Misty Pouch” in the area “Coast of Awakening” on the Dragon Isles and will show you where you can loot the gift as well. This is a bag with 34 slots, bound upon equip.
Misty Pouch – Location on the Map
Where should you search? The waterfall behind which the bag is located is about in the middle of the Coast of Awakening. Directly north of the Ruby Life Pool and east of the Obsidian Citadel. Around coordinates 59.26 / 53.19.
You can see the waterfall when you look west. We have circled the location on the map:
The waterfall on the mapYou can fly through the waterfall at this spotBehind the waterfall awaits you this cave – In the Misty Chest is the Misty Pouch
What can you do with it? Once you have opened the chest and looted the bag, you can use it for yourself. However, it is only bound on equip and falls under the “Unique” category. Therefore, it cannot be equipped multiple times.
Update: Apparently, the bag has now been changed by a hotfix so that it is “bound on pickup.”
Unfortunately, gifting to friends or selling in the auction house is now not possible. This way, you can at least secure the bag for your own inventory or for your bank.
Have you found more treasures on the Dragon Isles, or are you looking for a specific item?

In the world of Destiny 2, players have long felt subjected to an endless grind that almost feels like work. However, with the current Season 21, the tide has turned, and the Guardians are instead enjoying relaxed fishing experiences – completely stress-free.
What are Destiny 2 players currently happy about? The power level system of Destiny 2 has been criticized for a long time as being too strenuous and demanding. To stay at the max level, the Guardians mostly played the activities that Bungie rewards with top loot, season after season. And that every week.
In Season 21, Bungie officially announced that they would not further increase the power or top loot cap in the “Season of Deep”.
Instead of the usual practice of raising the power level by 10 points to 1,820, it remained at 1,810.
This decision has led to a positive effect in the community.
For the first time, Guardians can experience the relaxed nature of fishing without the burden of constant progression pressure and enjoy a completely new freedom in the loot shooter. They are no longer forced to do anything and can do as they please.

Destiny 2: “Season of the Depth” lets Guardians dive into the water
Destiny 2 hasn’t been this relaxed in a long time
Season 21 is a bit like a vacation: Instead of a divided player base, where some Guardians meet the high demands of the grind and others are left frustrated, Season 21 has brought an atmosphere of collaboration and togetherness to Destiny 2.
This new feeling and its joy was shared by the Guardian Spartanx20 on the Destiny Reddit with the words ‘I love it when I can play [Destiny 2] on the side.’
At the same time, he asked how other players currently feel about this and received a lot of feedback. His post had already received 6400 upvotes and over 850 comments at the time of this article.
For the most part, he apparently is not alone in his opinion. Other players express similar sentiments and are glad that they no longer have to lose themselves in an endless grind.
For the first time in a long time, I said to my friend in Destiny 2: ‘What do you want to do?’, in the most casual way because I actually didn’t know what to do. And we just did ‘something’. […] That’s a huge relief.
Finally, I have the motivation to complete all the random quests in my inventory because I don’t have to grind for hours in activities that I don’t enjoy to play activities that I do enjoy. Good decision by Bungie.
writes OneRobuk on the Guardian’s question on Reddit
However, the ‘No-Grind-Season’ also has downsides
However, under the post on the Destiny subreddit, there are not only positive remarks. As is often the case in the gaming community, the opinions and needs of players are diverse. Especially since Bungie, through the elimination of the grind in Season 21, has also left out some top loot rewards.
For instance, there is no more top loot in playlist activities, but only powerful gear (level 1) in the form of an exotic engram.
Seasonal activities no longer grant weekly top loot and were reduced in Season 21 to drops for powerful gear of levels 2 and 3.
It is only good for players who were already at [the max power level] 1,810. Everyone else suffers even more because so many top loot sources have been removed.
Just having nothing planned and chatting with friends – how do you find that?
Of course, one could argue that raids and dungeons or the exotic Avalon mission still grant top loot. But that’s exactly where the problem lies.
Casual and solo players hardly play these endgame contents. They mostly rely on the Vanguard, Gambits, and seasonal activities for their power grind. And those have fallen away.
The hardcore players in Destiny 2, who love the challenges of grinding for top loot, are also negatively affected by the changes.
For them, the hunt for top loot and the constant raising of their power level to the maximum was an important incentive and part of the gaming experience in Destiny 2. The pure artifact level is not enough for them. That levels itself up anyway – no matter what you do.
Looking at the entire community of Destiny 2, it seems to be a challenging task for Bungie to find the balance between a relaxed gaming experience for casual players and meeting the needs of hardcore players.
Initial ideas of what such a power level system for Destiny 2 could look like may have already leaked:
What does the German Destiny community think about this? Do you think it’s good that there is no longer this hard grind in Season 21 and that you can go fishing leisurely for lucrative exo-fish by a pond? Or do you miss the sweaty hunt for top loot and the real power level in Destiny 2? Feel free to share your thoughts on the topic in the comments.
After all, it leaves time to focus on the hunt for the strongest weapons of Season 21, such as the exotic weapon ‘Breach of Duty’:
In the Tier List for Season 28 of Diablo 3, we present you with the best classes, builds, and items. We take into account the balance changes from patch 2.7.5.
What is happening in Diablo 3? Since February 24, Season 28 in Diablo 3 has been running. With patch 2.7.5, the new chapter began with the “Altar of Rites” as the seasonal theme. At the start of a new chapter, players start with seasonal characters from “zero” and then climb up to the maximum level 70.
In the Tier List, we show you the classes and builds that have the greatest potential in Greater Nephalem Rifts for Season 28.
What makes Season 28 special? With the “Altar of Rites,” a special seasonal theme awaits you, which acts like a big skill tree. There, you can unlock 29 powers – 26 seal powers and 3 potion powers. These increase your damage, affect damage reduction, or introduce gameplay features like double the amount of bounty dice. We have prepared all the powers and costs of the altar for you in the guide:
Who creates the Tier List? As a basis, we take the Tier List from maxroll.gg. The website develops this Tier List with extensive tests and mathematics. Behind it stands the team around Rob, Wudijo, Northwar, Facefoot, Raxxanterax, and Chewignom.
In the article, we will show you the Tier List as a graphic and go into the top 3 builds of each class on this and the following pages. There is also a link to the build so you can easily recreate it and understand the mechanics.
Diablo 3 Season 28: Tier List with best builds
What does Tier “S” to “F” mean? In general, you won’t find any “bad” builds on the Tier List. It’s about the potential for best performances in Greater Nephalem Rifts. In S-Tier, it is higher than in all the tiers below. Nevertheless, a build from the F-Tier is still strong, just with less potential on paper.
Use the Tier List here as a rough guide for the strongest builds. Ultimately, in Diablo 3, it comes down to who grinds more and has higher Paragon levels. Because with an incredibly high Paragon level, even weaker builds become strong.
This is what we show you here: On this and the next 6 pages of the Tier List, we show you the top builds for Barbarians, Demon Hunters, Witch Doctors, Crusaders, Monks, Necromancers, and Wizards. Click on the links behind the builds to read the complete explanation on the maxroll.gg website. There you will find all items, gems, abilities, and runes.
If builds are named “LoN” or “LoD,” these are abbreviations for the legacy bonuses. You can obtain these through a legendary gem or a set of rings.
S-Tier: Raekor Boulder Toss (via maxroll.gg): With the Raekor set, you enhance your Boulder Toss and are quickly mobile with this build. You don’t have to play entirely in melee. This is a good thing because the build is quite “soft” and you need to position yourself well.
A-Tier: LoD HotA (via maxroll.gg): The second strongest build for the Barbarian in Season 28 plays with the Hammer of the Ancients. The advantages of the build are that you can take a lot of hits and attack quickly. Your chance of crits is also quite high. However, it takes a long time to assemble the LoD build, and the playstyle is very one-sided. In Season 27, this build was still in S-Tier.
A-Tier: Savage Frenzy with Starter Set (via maxroll.gg): As a starter set in Season 28, Barbarians will use the set of the Ninety Wilds. This allows you to cut through your enemies in a relatively fast play style but has little big AoE damage. For groups, you bring good buffs but are bound by cooldowns.
Bonus: The popular Whirlwind build only made it into the B-Tier this time. While it is still strong, it has lost some potential compared to last season. If you’ve always wanted to test new builds of a Barbarian, Season 28 is your chance. If you want to stick with “Spin to win,” you can find the Whirlwind build on maxroll.gg here.
On the next page, we will show you the three best builds of the Demon Hunter in Season 28 of Diablo 3.
