LaLiga TOTS – Leaks about the new special cards
Somecards were released too early in packs: Players report on Reddit that some cards of the LaLiga TOTS have already made it to some players’ teams. Apparently, these were found prematurely in packs. EA seems to have fixed this issue already.
So the following TOTS cards were leaked by EA themselves: Lewandowski (97), Gabri Veiga (92), Merino (93), Marcos Llorente (93), Fekir (91), Valverde (93), Modric (97), and Balde (93).

As soon as the rest of the team is known, this post will be updated as soon as possible.
Here’s how to get the new cards: To obtain the new TOTS cards of LaLiga, there are various methods. The safest method should be the Weekend League. If you perform well there, guaranteed TOTS cards, albeit randomly, will be your reward.
Otherwise, you can hope for “pack luck” and open packs or try your luck in a TOTS SBC (Squad Building Challenge). Guaranteed TOTS SBCs usually appear on Wednesday or Thursday after the respective team has been released. There, you submit a number of cards and receive a random TOTS player in return.
If you want to know when the next TOTS come out, we have a TOTS schedule for you that shows all releases:
This Friday, Xur is back to visit Destiny 2. We at MeinMMO will therefore show you his latest assortment full of curiosities.
What happened in Destiny 2 this week? The Guardian Games have entered the final round. Things do not look good for Hunters and Warlocks, as Titans have a very generous lead. It is now almost clear who might win the Guardian Games 2023.
Additionally, our author Britta has summarized all the important leaks regarding Season 21 that you might experience soon.

When does Xur come? Xur, the Agent of the Nine, appears in Destiny 2 every Friday at 7:00 PM. His visit ends again the following Tuesday at 7:00 PM. During this time, Guardians can purchase exotic items from him.
Where is Xur? This is his location for the weekend
Xur’s location: Xur’s whereabouts change every week, which poses a small challenge for the players to find him. However, MeinMMO is always hot on his trail and posts his location every Friday so you don’t have to search for long.
Here is where Xur is this weekend: Xur is in the twisted bay in the EDZ.
Xur’s inventory from May 19 – 23 – All Exotics at a glance
What does Xur have on offer? The Agent of the Nine in Destiny 2 offers players a random selection of exotic items for purchase every week. His inventory is always changing, and you can obtain exotic weapons and armor from him to supplement and fill gaps in your collection.

Mobility: +16

PvP endgame sends you to the Trials of Osiris
Osiris is the original organizer of the Trials – Saint 14 only represents him
The PvP mode allows the best Guardians in Destiny 2 to compete against each other to achieve a perfect record of 7 wins without a loss. The goal of this challenge is the Lighthouse, an exclusive place only open to the most successful Guardians.
Which map is on deck this week? Unlike normal PvP where maps rotate, in the Guardian vs. Guardian endgame, there are fixed maps every weekend on which you play.
This week you play on the maps: The Dead Cliffs in the EDZ.
If you’re interested in playing the Trials in a fixed team, MeinMMO recommends the Callout maps over Warmind. This way, you can effectively communicate to your fire team where the enemies are currently located on the map. This information is useful for the entire team.
How to get your loot: The Trials of Osiris feature a reputation rank system. Your top loot rewards from the PvP matches are currently for:
7 wins
50 rounds
as well as the notorious flawless run that leads you to the Lighthouse
This is the reward for a flawless run
Every week there is also a very special weapon at the Lighthouse, which you can earn for your flawless run, that is, 7 wins, as a Master version. You can earn the weapon until the upcoming Tuesday, May 23, at 7:00 PM.
As a reward, there is an Adept weapon, provided you reach the Lighthouse with a flawless ticket.
This week’s Adept weapon is: the Immortal, the most unfair Strand SMG in the entire PvP.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris begin today, on May 19, at 7:00 PM and end with the Weekly Reset on May 23 at 7:00 PM.
Have you ever participated in the Trials or are you a regular customer at Xur? What experiences have you had and what items have you acquired? We would love to read your thoughts and opinions in the comments.
In the cooperative survival game Lost Skies on Steam, you explore floating islands alone or with friends on your self-built airship and engage in war against giant monsters.
What kind of game is Lost Skies? Lost Skies is a cooperative survival adventure where you can freely explore your surroundings alone or with up to six players. As the last survivors, you fight your way through a devastated open world and pilot customizable airships.
You explore floating islands using grappling hooks and parachutes, discovering the secrets of the civilization’s downfall along the way.
The sandbox MMO Worlds Adrift by the developer already featured giant airships and flying islands. Why the servers of Worlds Adrift were shut down, the developer explains in a video.
Content of Lost Skies will include exploring ancient technologies, weathering wild storms, and battling massive threats. The developers promise a wealth of features on Steam.
Here you can watch the announcement trailer:

Survival with Crafting among the Clouds
These features are provided by Lost Skies:
Massive open world with unique floating islands
Single-player experience or co-op adventure with an ever-expanding world
Islands offering battles, discoveries, and mysterious ancient technology
Complex shipbuilding system that allows for customizing every aspect
Survival experience without constantly needing to eat and drink
Plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings with a relaxed soundtrack or to build in peace
Various mobility options like grappling hooks, parachutes, and climbing abilities, allowing for a lot of freedom to explore the islands and make the most of the game world in the clouds
A complex crafting system taking into account the weight and properties of materials to achieve maximum performance
Epic aerial boss battles against giant beings responsible for the end of humanity that will test your skills
What’s the deal with the airships? The shipbuilding system in Lost Skies is unique and allows players to design the hull in detail. Individual parts can be placed freely, but you should consider the quality and weight of the materials used.
“Your skyship is not only your home in the clouds, but also your warship that you take into battle and fight for survival in treacherous weather,” says Bossa Games (via PC Gamer).
Early Access is Not Planned
When does Lost Skies come out? The release of Lost Skies is scheduled for 2024. So far, the developer studio Bossa, along with Humble Games, aims for a release only for PC on Steam. According to FAQs on the game’s website, no early access is planned.
However, it might be that the community will have access to alpha and beta versions before the launch to test features and gather feedback.
The developers’ focus is on providing a complete gaming experience at a fair price at launch. Free and paid updates are also planned to expand Lost Skies even after launch.
In the meantime, you can check out games that have already been released by Humble Games, because:
Yesterday there was a match for the ages in League of Legends. At MSI 2023, the South Koreans T1 with superstar Faker faced the Chinese top team JD Gaming with ADC Ruler. It was the spectacle that everyone had hoped for. The match went over 5 games. At its peak, 2.3 million were watching – a viewer record for MSI.
What a match it was!
MSI is the “Mid-Season” tournament in LoL. The best teams from around the world from all regions compete against each other.
The match yesterday was a pre-final: both teams had not lost in MSI yet and were now looking for the first finalist. It was the first time in MSI 2023 that China and South Korea faced each other.
The winner of the match would advance to the final. The loser drops to the “Loser’s Bracket” but still has a chance to beat the best team that has already lost and redeem themselves in the final.

The Life of Faker – Why He is a Living Legend
The encounter went like this: It was an epic “Best of 5” battle between the Korean super team T1 and the Chinese JDG.
No team could pull ahead clearly; the match was balanced, and it ultimately came down to a decisive battle in Match 5, which JD Gaming won after 35 minutes.
The decisive factor in the match was seen as the bot lane duel between Gumaysui (T1) and Ruler (JDG Gaming). In the end, Ruler excelled on Jinx with 12-1-3.
In fact, Ruler had predicted the outcome of the encounter and said they would beat T1 3-2 (via youtube).
How is the game being discussed? The discussion on Reddit revolves mainly around a team fight that T1 entered with a disadvantage and lost.
The Reddit users from their comfortable gaming chairs know better and say: T1 should never have gone in. Faker threw the anchor on Nautilus – he should have just left it alone.

The special thing about the match was: With 2.3 million viewers, the match broke the viewer record of all time for MSI. Never before has an MSI game had so many viewers.
According to Dotesports, this is due to the sheer star power of the match: With Faker involved, you have the superstar. The Uber-support Keria and Gumayusi are said to be the “stars” of the future.
Additionally, JDG also had a lot to offer with Kanavi, Knight, and the “best ADC of all time”, Ruler.
Hot guy: Keria.

The bundles always have a minimum price, and the more you pay, the more content you receive. For example, you might receive three games for €5, six for €10, and nine games for €15. You can choose the price within a certain range and thus gain access to a specific number of contents.
You also have the option to voluntarily pay more, as a portion of the amount you pay goes to charitable causes and a part is kept by the developers. Additionally, you can give a portion to the Humble team. How you distribute the shares is mostly up to you.
If you didn’t like the selection of games on Humble Bundle, there is currently an offer on Steam that features fantastic story games from BioWare:
Destiny 2 will make seasonal balance changes again in Season 21 that are meant to lead to fresh playstyles. While the Warlocks are still mourning their Starfire Protocol, one of the new Exo-combos is already hurting me badly because it could become incredibly strong.
Update on the article from May 19.: In the meantime, Bungie has also announced adjustments to the bow “Le Monarque” mentioned here. Eric Smith from Bungie communicated in the Firing Range Podcast that the overly strong Exo-bow “Le Monarque” will receive a mitigative nerf in Season 21.
The relevant weakening involves a reduction of poison damage over time, which now lasts only 1.5 seconds instead of 3.0 seconds. Additionally, the base damage of the bow will be lowered to adjust it to the performance of lighter legendary bows.
What will Destiny 2 change? Live-service games like Destiny 2 are constantly evolving. Players can usually enjoy outstanding exotics for a while. However, when one of these exotics becomes too powerful and dominates everything, its days are numbered.
And so Bungie will also make changes to a total of 24 exotics in Season 21. This is meant to ensure that other exotic armors that have been dormant in your virtual closets for years get their time to shine.
Thus, the “Starfire Protocol”, one of the currently most powerful Solar exotics of the Warlock, will be drastically nerfed because it was the only choice for many Warlocks.
For the Titan Exo “Point Contact Cannon Stasis”, the damage from lightning strikes will be increased by 50% in PvE to make it more interesting.
The St0mpees-EE5 will be freed from their imposed efficiency losses in the air but will also be tied to your dodge energy.
And there is also a small change for the Hunter, which could make an already strong Exo-weapon even stronger in Season 21 – especially in PvP.
Start video
Destiny 2: Lightfall – Gather all Guardians trailer
This Exo-combo is already hurting me
This already sounds potentially overpowered: In Bungie’s blog article, the change to the Hunter exotic “Oathkeeper” from Season 4 sounded rather harmless.
When a bow is fully drawn, there is a damage bonus against fighters that increases the longer it is drawn, but is deactivated after a few seconds.
Bungie did not reveal how much more damage it will have. However, even a small amount could already mean a significant and noticeable difference.
Legendary bows would definitely get a little more kick with this combo. The advantage will, however, also work with Exo-bows. It will probably be three bows that could particularly benefit from the buff: “Le Monarque”, “Wishender”, and “Leviathan’s Breath”.
With the “Wishender”, players have a legally usable wallhack in PvP, which has always been more effective due to the exotic arm protection “Oathkeeper”. Some enjoy using it.
Wishender offers a completely legal wallhack in PvP
The heavy bow “Leviathan’s Breath” could also become an interesting candidate for the armor exotic. Bungie has wanted to promote its use for a long time. Maybe this time.
However, the really nasty one would probably only be the poison bow “Le Monarque”. It has long been indispensable from player loadouts. Both in PvE and in PvP.
In PvE, it has proven to be an extremely effective disruptor against Overload Champions.
In PvP, it can significantly damage a Guardian’s shield with its nasty poison impulses after just one hit, though this varies depending on the level of resilience.
If the buff, after the bow is fully drawn, also affects the poison arrows, then the new meta for Season 21 would already be established.
Will you try this combo?
This could kill the mega combo: In the end, everything depends on the strength of the damage buff that Bungie will grant the Oathkeeper and how well it has been tuned. Fine-tuning is indeed a very delicate matter with this combo.
If the buff is too high and kills a Guardian with a single shot from Season 21, then the Hunter class with the Exo combo will become really dangerous.
If the buff is too weak, the combo could just as quickly fade into obscurity. After all, why would you hold your bow charge if you could fire two arrows that do more damage in the same time?
However, it could also be that Bungie forces you into a decision and the change has no impact on the exotic poison bow at all.
To get to the nasty poison arrows, Guardians must shoot the arrow within one second after the bow is fully drawn. So if you have to hold too long to maximize the new damage buff of the exotic “Oathkeeper”, you could lose the option for poison damage.
In the Destiny Reddit, players also discussed whether the new damage buff will even be active in PvP. The Guardian yotika writes: “It says ‘fighters’ [not ‘enemies’], so PvE. The bonus damage doesn’t matter in PvP.”
It won’t be long now, and the Guardians can find out for themselves. On May 23 at 7:00 PM, Season 21 in Destiny 2 will start, and we are sure that the combo “Le Monarque” and “Oathkeeper” will be one of the first players will try.
What do you think about the potentially overpowering PvP combo? Do you think the damage buff from “Oathkeeper” and “Le Monarque” could become too strong? Or do you think Bungie has adjusted cleverly to keep everything in check? Perhaps you also have a completely different Exo combo in mind for Season 21 that you consider particularly strong? Then feel free to share it with the German Destiny 2 community in the comments.
The Polish publisher CI Games has released a new trailer for its upcoming action RPG Lords of the Fallen. The title is regarded as a successor to the installment released in 2014, but it bears a striking resemblance to a very special game brand, namely Dark Souls. Check out the trailer here.
What kind of game is this? The new action game from CI Games has been in development for several years (via ign.com). It is based on Unreal Engine 5 and offers a semi-open world where you must stand your ground against all sorts of monstrosities. It is expected to offer these features (via Steam):
A parallel world awaits you, that of the dead as well as the living
A fast, fluid, and challenging combat system awaits you
Use magical attacks and buffs
Embark on shared adventures by inviting a second player
Experience characters that want to help you for their own reasons
Customize your character and choose from 9 starting classes, such as Knight, Rogue, or Fire Apprentice.
Check out the new trailer for Lords of the Fallen here.

CI Games presents the new Lords of the Fallen – Gameplay Trailer
What does the trailer show? The trailer opens the scene with a group of several protagonists walking through a hall of epic proportions, receiving a red glove.
In advance, it is explained that the demon god Adyr has defeated the army of Mournstead with his legion and brought it down. Nevertheless, there seems to be hope in the form of the Dark Crusader.
Especially the musical accompaniment contributes to the atmosphere
The following shows a hauntingly beautiful landscape with different biomes. Several scenes are added that showcase the gameplay with combat encounters and the use of a lantern along with divine power. Overall, the presentation reminds of the Dark Souls series or Elden Ring.
Notably, the musical accompaniment enhances the ambiance, making you crave for more.
Whether the action title will eventually follow the successful path of a Dark Souls or Elden Ring remains uncertain for now. However, the trailer promises an action storm of epic proportions that you can play either solo or in co-op mode.
For several weeks, fans of Pokémon GO have expressed their frustration towards developer Niantic after an update made remote raids more expensive. Now, Pokémon GO director Michael Steranka has commented on the matter.
However, Niantic did not respond to the matter in the following weeks, leading to further criticism. Now, Pokémon GO director Michael Steranka has addressed the issues in an interview with the portal Dot Esports (via dotesports).
This is what Steranka says: In the interview with Dot Esports, Steranka explains that they have heard the movement, “we read everything and see everything,” says the director. He means, they “prefer to let actions speak rather than words” and emphasizes: “And we, as a development team, have really worked hard to put together a whole bunch of new features that, hopefully, players will like over the course of this year.”
The decision regarding remote raids was also difficult for him, says Steranka, but he believes:
If we look at the overall state of the game and the kind of behavior that remote raids brought with it, then it simply did not fit the kind of experience we wanted to create. And I can honestly say that it even became an unhealthy way for me personally to engage with the game. I was just spending money on PokéCoins to spam as many legendary raids as possible.
And we are talking about legendary Pokémon, which are supposed to be the epic pinnacle of all Pokémon content. And this is something that players, myself included, do more than a dozen times a day, some even more than 100 times a day. So this is something that, to be honest, we let wait a little too long and ultimately had to correct.
They did not take the decision lightly, but it was necessary for the longevity of the game, explains Steranka. Currently, there are no plans to address the points of HearUsNiantic, “because we will stick to the decision made,” says Steranka: “But instead, we hope that players will see a lot of the hard work that the team has put into this game over the past year, because I think what we will release in 2023 will really blow people away.”
The discussion about the changes is being conducted very emotionally in parts. This has also caused problems within the community:

Twitch streamer receives hate messages for supporting Pokémon GO
How does the community react? In the subreddits about Pokémon GO, the statement is already being discussed in an initial reaction and is largely received critically (via reddit). Players express frustration that it seems that the concerns of the community are not being addressed.
“It is so sad to see this. They are aware of the complaints, they know that they are losing revenue, but they continue because the vision is apparently more important than profit and the well-being of the players,” writes user hoenndex (via reddit).
“This was obvious from the start. It is no secret that they never intended to reverse the changes,” says user nvdnqvi (via reddit)
“I want to be honest. I understand what they are talking about, and the P2W culture in games is a tough battle,” says user cjjones07 in another thread on the topic (via reddit): “But the execution and especially the fact that they do not show the community respect for the ‘HearUsNiantic movement’ to address the changes is a slap in the face.”
Whether Niantic can win back the angry players with new features remains to be seen for now. One of these new features has just been introduced: Soon, Pokémon GO will feature Crypto Raids.

After more than a decade, Scarlett Johansson is leaving the MCU. In that time, she contributed not only to impressive scenes as Natasha Romanoff but also to the female presence in Marvel films. She recently spoke about this in a podcast with Gwyneth Paltrow.
What significance did Scarlett Johansson have for the MCU? The superhero genre has changed significantly over the past 10 years, especially regarding the presence of female characters. It wasn’t until 2019 that Captain Marvel was released, the first film with a female lead at Marvel.
Since Iron Man 2, Scarlett Johansson has played the role of Agent Natasha Romanoff and is remembered for her skilled hand-to-hand combat techniques. Over time, she portrayed the character in eight Marvel films, showcasing not only her fighting skills but also her abilities as a hacker, protector, and spy.
Here you can see a trailer for Black Widow:

Marvel Black Widow Final Trailer
What was her start like at Marvel? Scarlett Johansson was warmly welcomed by her colleague Gwyneth Paltrow during her first appearance in Iron Man 2. Paltrow, who played Pepper Potts, expressed her joy at having another woman around:
“We were so excited that you were there, and I was so happy to have another woman nearby,” Paltrow said to Johansson in a podcast, according to our partner site 3D Juegos. Johansson recalls this and says: “You kept saying: Oh thank God!” and replied that she felt similarly later.
How did she feel as a woman at Marvel? When she was filming The Avengers, she was one of very few women. She felt the underrepresentation of female characters and describes the male-dominated film set as “a huge sausage party” (via Insider). She was one of the female stars advocating for a “purely female Marvel film.”
This group of actresses is incredibly powerful, and when they come together, it’s explosive and unstoppable. So yes, I advocate for it. I think the audience wants it, and I definitely belong to that.
In which Marvel films did she appear? Scarlett Johansson portrayed Natasha Romanoff in eight Marvel films. In another film, she appeared only in a post-credits scene.
Iron Man 2
Marvel’s The Avengers
The Return of the First Avenger
Avengers: Age of Ultron
The First Avenger: Civil War
Avengers: Infinity War
(Captain Marvel, post-credits scene)
Avengers: Endgame
Black Widow
Has Scarlett Johansson finished with Marvel? In the podcast with Gwyneth Paltrow, she stated that she has finished with her role as Black Widow. It thus seems unlikely that she will return to Marvel.
She said in the podcast to Paltrow, “I’m done. This chapter is over. I’ve done everything I needed to do.” Playing a character for over a decade has been a unique experience for her.
The scepter was passed in Endgame to her sister Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), whom we will see in Thunderbolts. And regarding female representation, we can look forward to The Marvels, which will be released in theaters at the end of this year.
Jackalyptic Games and NetEase have announced a new game with the Warhammer IP. There is not much information yet, but a clear direction can be derived from the developer’s key data.
What kind of game will it be? So far, there is no name for the game. NetEase and Jackalyptic Games have only stated in a press release that “a game based on a Warhammer IP” is in development in partnership with Games Workshop.
However, Games Workshop is known for selling the license for Warhammer games quite liberally to studios. In this case, however, some industry veterans with a lot of experience in the MMO field are behind the game.
Who is behind the game? Jackalyptic Games is led by Jack Emmert, who previously worked at Cryptic Studios. Emmert was involved in some of the most famous MMORPGs of the last 20 years:
Neither NetEase nor Jackalyptic are discussing what exactly the new Warhammer game will be. However, they emphasize that the studio is committed to “immersive online multiplayer gameplay for PC and console.” So probably no mobile MMORPG.

Science Fiction or Fantasy – What is coming?
The Warhammer universe consists of several parts, each with its own story. Accordingly, it is not entirely clear what kind of setting you can expect. Possible would be:
While the Fantasy IP would traditionally be more suitable for an MMORPG, a Sci-Fi MMO based on Emmert’s past would be more likely. However, according to reports, the game is still in early development.
Personally, this is great news for me. Warhammer is one of the best worlds ever for me, and whether it’s fantasy or 40k, I definitely want to check out a new Warhammer MMO:

This is what a conversation with AI-Amouranth is supposed to look like (via Dexerto)
What does Amouranth say about her AI counterpart? The Twitch streamer stated in a press release how excited she is about the project:
I am all about taking risks and pushing boundaries. Above all, it is important to me to be there for my amazing audience. AI-Amouranth is designed to meet every fan’s needs to ensure an unforgettable and comprehensive experience.
When will AI-Amouranth launch? The chatbot is set to launch today, May 19, as part of the Forever Companion platform from Forever Voices. In addition to Amouranth, AI versions of various famous personalities will also be available there.
Amouranth, who has always had a keen business sense, apparently has big plans for 2023. In addition to the AI chatbot, the streamer is also organizing events for Twitch and announced new content in collaboration with the paid platform OnlyFans – and they are supposed to be fun for the whole family.
Valve has issued new guidelines for gambling with skins in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and seems to be enforcing them rigorously. There is now a report on Twitter about a player who has been trading skins in CS:GO (Steam) for 9 years. Valve has permanently banned him from trading cosmetic items. As a result, items worth $185,000 are now worthless.
This is the situation:
CS:GO is one of the most popular games on Steam and one of the largest games in the world.
The shooter features cosmetic items: so-called skins. They change the appearance of weapons in the game. The trading of these skins on the marketplace on Steam is so widespread that any skin in CS:GO can be exchanged for cash at any time. It involves tens of thousands of euros.
Valve is cleaning up in CS:GO, apparently ahead of Counter-Strike 2:

This was discovered in the rules on May 10, 2023.
Apparently, Valve has decided to specifically target gambling with skins in CS:GO. Previously, Valve had positioned itself against “business activities,” but now gambling is explicitly mentioned.

Valve removes the ability to trade skins from traders with valuable inventories
These are the effects: A user writes on Twitter that one of his friends has been trading skins in CS:GO for 9 years. He has now been permanently banned from trading with the community.
This means he can still use the skins himself, but he can no longer sell them on the marketplace.
The man has already written 4 tickets but has encountered deaf ears at Valve and can no longer complain.

As the Spanish site 3DJuegos writes, the man owns skins in CS:GO that are worth $200,000 (about €185,000). He has also admitted to using such betting sites in the past.
His ban is now seen as a sign that Valve is seriously taking action against betting sites in CS:GO. There are warnings against engaging with any platform that is not recognized by Valve.
Standing Stone Games, the developer behind the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online, has now responded to the announcement of the new MMO from Amazon Games. In a post on their own forum, the developer comments on the supposed competition and explains how their own project will proceed.
What is The Lord of the Rings Online? The Lord of the Rings Online is an MMORPG based on the novels of J.R.R. Tolkien. The developer behind the game is Standing Stone Games (formerly Turbine). They have been providing updates to the game for 17 years, such as an updated graphics, while it is published by Daybreak Games.

Creators of the MMORPG HdRO: ‘The road goes on and on …’
What does Standing Stone Games say about Amazon’s Lord of the Rings MMO? The announcement from Amazon Games has been brought to Standing Stone Games by fans of The Lord of the Rings Online MMORPG.
Community Manager Cordovan took the opportunity last Wednesday to give a statement in the forum of the in-house MMORPG regarding the new Lord of the Rings MMO from Amazon Games. In it, he first reassures the worried community that HdRO will not disappear (via forums.lotro.com). Specifically, Cordovan shares:
During the past days, we have received a lot of hints from excited but also worried community members regarding the new MMO in the Tolkien universe from Amazon Games.
Like you, we and our partners at Middle-earth Enterprises are huge fans of The Lord of the Rings Online. It’s popular, it’s 16, it’s a classic.
HdRO is like the long-lived tree-herders, Elves, or Dwarves; and we mortals are the guardians of HdRO and its community. Standing Stone is pursuing every intention to grow and support the community. The road goes on and on …
The post concludes with a quote from an old travel song from The Lord of the Rings. It has received over a hundred reactions, including many likes.
What does Amazon Games say about HdRO? Christoph Hartmann, the head of Amazon Games, is meanwhile fighting back. Although he comments that he is a fan of HdRO – calling it not a bad game – he claims that Amazon’s MMO is worlds better (via Gamespot).
For the end of 2023, the next expansion was already announced in January (via lotro.com). It remains exciting to see which of the two titles will ultimately appeal most to fans of the Tolkien universe.
What do you think? Have you tried HDRO? Is it the optimal MMORPG for fans of The Lord of the Rings, or is there room for improvement? Write your thoughts in the comments.
Before the release of Diablo 4, dedicated players could receive some special rewards. That is not likely possible now and has led to the community teasing: Those who have the reward are obviously “better” than others.
What kind of reward is that? It’s about Ashava’s Cry. During the Server Slam, you could earn various rewards, including a cute wolf pup as transmog and a horn that you can attach to your horse: Ashava’s Cry.
While most rewards were available to everyone by simply reaching a certain level or a town, the horn was a challenge. The fairly tough boss Ashava had to be defeated at level 20.
This is the discussion: Shortly after the end of the Server Slam on May 14, the horn of Ashava was practically the sole topic both in the subreddit for Diablo 4 and in several forums. Mainly, memes were exchanged, such as Napoleon with the horn of Ashava or the famous Family Guy scene.
One user even states that his fiancée left him because he does not own the horn. There were also some complaints that Ashava was simply too tough and claims that one did not receive the horn.
This resulted in a certain division within the community, which at least in some parts has pushed hard against the boundaries of humor.
Diablo 4 features huge bosses like an MMO – And they drop really good loot
“You may play with us … over there”
In some posts, players are seemingly jokingly looking for guilds with pure “horn bearers” to distinguish themselves from the “rabble”. At least one of these threads has already been closed as it apparently aimed to trigger too much.
Others have opened the “Ashava Trophy Club,” which strongly resembles elite groups or nobility. In one thread, a user attempts to frame the situation a bit more critically, stating that this chokehold of “FOMO” is ridiculous.
FOMO, short for “Fear Of Missing Out,” describes the fear of missing something. However, the trophy’s effect is peculiar, as one hardly sees it in an isometric game. It has no gameplay benefit anyway. The top comment has almost even more upvotes:
Do not worry, for we at the Ashava Trophy Club have decided that, despite the fact that you have failed to achieve the greatness we obviously possess, we are willing to allow you to play this game with us … over there.
The fear of the players goes so far that some allegedly even demanded their money back and returned the game just because they did not receive the trophy. Whether that’s true is open to question.
Meanwhile, many fans show annoyance about the whole discussion. The meme feels too forced and clichéd: “beating a dead horse,” as they say in English. Even if all of this is probably intended as fun, a certain defensive attitude is forming here.
By the way, I belong to the Ashava Trophy Club and am therefore allowed to write about it.
At least away from this discussion, there is bright joy about the upcoming release of the game. The tests have thrilled thousands of players who are now waiting for the release. You can find all the information on this in the overview:
Netflix has an impressive selection of movies and series, it’s easy to lose track and miss out on some noteworthy titles. That’s why we’ve picked 5 series on Netflix with only one season that you can comfortably binge-watch over a weekend.
What are these series? When selecting the series, we made sure that they only have one season and a complete storyline. Thus, we only considered specifically so-called short or miniseries.
Series that were cancelled after the first season or where fans are waiting for a second season after a cliffhanger have been deliberately disregarded.
We will briefly introduce the 5 series, avoiding spoilers as much as possible.
Why is series “x” not included? We have limited our list to 5 series. Of course, there are other series that also have their fans and are worth recommending. If your favorite series is missing, you can certainly mention it in the comments.

What kind of series is this? Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is an anime series that takes you into the futuristic world of the role-playing game “Cyberpunk 2077” and is set in the city of “Night City.” The events of the series, however, take place before the actions of the game.
At the center of Night City is the drive for power and glamour. Most people in the metropolis live in poor conditions and dream of a better life, but their fates are heavily dependent on the choices of large corporations that control the city and its inhabitants.
The world of cyberpunk has undergone significant technological advancement alongside wars and disasters in the past. Many people are equipped with data chips in their heads and mechanical implants that give them unnatural strength, extreme speed, or even deadly weapons.
People with a particular interest in the use of such implants are called cyberpunks. They continuously have further enhancements implanted into their bodies in pursuit of power, fame, and wealth, escaping the life of an insignificant inhabitant of Night City.
David Martinez is also a so-called cyberpunk, who turns to military implants as a young adult after a family tragedy and shortly thereafter takes a path as a respected mercenary. In the process, David meets new friends with whom he collaborates, as well as his great love.
However, life as a cyberpunk inevitably brings about further tragedies, and the action-packed storyline of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners escalates at a pace that barely allows the audience to catch their breath.

Bonus – Black Mirror and Love, Death & Robots
In addition to some completed series that you can binge-watch over a weekend, Netflix also offers series with self-contained seasons or episodes that we want to present to you here as a small bonus.
Black Mirror – a science fiction series in which each episode tells a different story. The episodes constantly present a dystopian version of the near future and portray the effects that modern technologies and media could have on humanity.
Love, Death & Robots – a science fiction series that tells various stories in short episodes, each concluding at the end of an episode. In addition to sci-fi elements, the series also draws on fantasy, horror, and comedic aspects.
If you’re not only looking for new series that you can binge-watch over a single weekend but also looking for anime recommendations, MeinMMO author and anime expert Cortyn has some interesting titles for you:
From one blunder to the next. Blizzard aims to advocate for trans people while branding itself a “liar.”
In recent years, the “Pride Month” has gained increasing significance. While many use this time to raise awareness of diversity and fight for the rights and equal treatment of all people who identify as “LGBTQ+,” some companies also try to position themselves during this period and represent these values or polish their own image.
Blizzard has also attempted this – and made a bitter yet humorous mistake.
What is this action about? Between mid-May and the end of June, Blizzard sells a new collection in its shop. The “Blizzard Pride Collection” consists of clothing featuring various logos related to Blizzard, either in the colors of the rainbow flag or those of the transgender flag (light blue, pink, white).
The sale was promoted on Twitter with a somewhat “amusing” post. A shirt in the transgender colors with the lettering “Blizzard” is visible. However, the color choice is unfortunate because the letters “LI” and “AR” prominently appear in bright pink, forming the word “Liar.”
This was also noted by Twitter user @SouljaBoymoder, who pointed it out:
The response from the community is reflected in the likes on the posts.
The original Blizzard post has just over 1,400 likes.
The post by SouljaBoymoder has over 46,000 likes.
Why is the “Liar” so funny? Blizzard has had several significant scandals in recent years. Much of it revolved around sexism, bullying, or insults directed at trans people. These scandals resulted in many layoffs and numerous changes within the company. Since then, Blizzard has made increased efforts to champion diversity and represents these values more strongly in its games – especially noticeable in Overwatch.
However, many former fans do not believe that real change has occurred at Blizzard so quickly and criticize that the current actions are just about “cleaning up” its name. They accuse Blizzard of lying – and therefore find it particularly ironic that Blizzard, through the colors on the T-shirt, brands itself a “Liar.”
The shirt displayed in the advertisement can no longer be found in the shop, by the way.
Ultimately, this is probably just a mishap – but one that probably won’t occur again.
It is actually unfortunate that the whole action is cast in such a mocking light. Because the profits from the sales until the end of June will be donated to the “National Center for Transgender Equality,” which advocates for the equality of trans people.

Currently, the Mid-Season Invitationals for League of Legends are happening, and even in a professional tournament, bugs and errors can occur. Such an error happened in the game between BLG and G2. However, it was not the error itself but the resulting pause that caused an uproar.
What happened? In the fourth match of the opponents, the game paused at 6:40. The player ON from the Chinese team BLG requested the pause because he could not consume his biscuit in the game.
This is an item that appears in the inventory due to the rune “Biscuit Delivery” and restores health and mana when consumed.
The pause was deemed legitimate and executed by the referees. After a longer pause, the game continued.
Here are 7 facts about LoL that only true veterans know:

7 Facts about LoL that only true veterans know
G2 fans feel disadvantaged by the pause
What was the problem with this pause? Above all, the timing of the pause. The jungler of BLG “XUN” was about to die when the pause was initiated.
Although G2 did get this kill on Xun after the interruption – apparently outside the broadcasted stream – the flow of the game was clearly disrupted, and BLG was able to use the pause to recover.
You can see the moment of the pause in this Twitch clip:

The thirty-minute pause, during which the bug was not fixed at all, did not improve the atmosphere and caused discontent among the viewers. Especially the G2 fans felt disadvantaged by the pause.
How did the audience react? The audience was not pleased with the seemingly pointless pause and booed the Chinese team when the game resumed. The fact that the pause was deemed legitimate by the referees did not seem to interest the fans present.
Ultimately, the Chinese team BLG won against the European team G2 3:1, eliminating them from the tournament.
In League of Legends the big tournament “MSI 2023” for the fans of teams from Europe and North America has already taken place. It was the worst beating that many western LoL fans can remember. The gap to the teams from South Korea and China is wider than ever before.
This is the situation:
At MSI 2023, the best LoL teams in the world compete against each other: The 4 major regions each send 2 teams into the race.
With 3 rounds remaining, all teams from Europe and North America have been eliminated. It wasn’t even close.
The special thing: This time the tournament was so one-sided that even teams from North America did not compete against teams from Europe. These are the matches that western fans particularly look forward to, as there is a fierce rivalry between fans of the LEC and the LCS.

G2 plays 2-6 against Asia and is still in the best position
Who was the last to be eliminated? The European team G2 fought the hardest, managing to win at least 1 match in their loss against the Chinese team BLG, losing only 1-3. Previously, they had already secured a victory in a 1-3 loss against the favorites Gen G. with Chovy.
Thus, G2 has at least won 2 games against teams from Asia and lost 6.

In the USA, the “Golden Guardians” managed to win a single game in a 1-2 loss against BLG.
Another user on Reddit says:
This is the worst tournament the West has had that I can remember. There’s nothing to argue or debate about, we looked so much worse than the East this time. It feels like it was 10 years ago.
Before the tournament, he was still in a good mood:
Why were there no duels between EU and NA? That was just bad luck. In the Loser’s Bracket, the two regions did not play against each other, but rather against a team from their own region. G2 eliminated the MAD Lions, Cloud9 sent the Golden Guardians to the airport.
In the next round, however, both winners were eliminated by a team from Asia.

Meanwhile, more and more extremely strong young players have emerged in South Korea and China, forming top teams and challenging each other. The Asian players also seemed to develop much stronger and faster. While G2 could defeat young stars like Showmaker and Canyon in 2019, they were already hopeless in 2020.
In the last tournaments, the “skill gap” between West and East has only continued to grow. In this tournament, MSI 2023, teams from the West no longer play any role.
Chovy could become the star of the tournament.
Fans from Europe and North America are disappointed and bitter
This is what the fans say: They see it with gallows humor (via Reddit). It is said: One could add another loser round to the loser’s bracket and call it the “West Round”.
One user says: For years it has only been about who stinks less against the Asians. Europe or the USA? This time it cannot even be said:
From Europe’s perspective, one could argue: At least we have won 2 games against Asia and you only 1.
From North America’s perspective, one could say: At least we haven’t lost any games under 20 minutes.
One user says: Particularly tragic is that “G2” has renamed itself to “T1-Killers” and now does not even have the chance to play against the team they are supposedly the “fearful opponents” of.
Another user on Reddit says:

Yesterday, the first-person shooter Hawken Reborn was released. One day after the Early Access launch, there are already over 900 reviews on Steam – only 21% of them are positive.
What disappoints Hawken Reborn? In the reviews on Steam, the new free-to-play shooter is being criticized. The story, which feels impersonal to many players, as well as the environment, are particularly criticized. Some even found the graphics in the 2013 Hawken better than those of today. “yoshi” writes in his review on Steam:
I don’t mind that it’s only PvE, but what bothers me is that nothing resembles the previous game. The movement, the sound, the user interface, the animations, the weapons… everything is different and bland.
The display (HUD) is unintuitive and ugly compared to the original HUD. The movement and controls do not feel like they did before, when you could feel the weight of the mech.
Hawken Reborn: Return as a Single Player Shooter on Steam – Trailer
It is also criticized that the characters in the comic-style cutscenes look like they were generated by AI. In fact, the facial features look different every time, especially the mouth and teeth.
It also seems that the woman changed her earrings for each scene:
Boring Gameplay, Odd Controls
First opinions about Hawken Reborn were published on Reddit and do not sound much better. “hirmuolio” writes in a subreddit that the movement in the mech feels bad. The mouse speed seems to be buggy and remains too fast despite changes. The cockpit sways too much when moving, the turn speed is too fast.
The gameplay is boring. Enemies spawn, you kill them, until they stop spawning. This is the only goal, nothing changes even when you complete the actual mission objective. “hirmuolio” also finds the level design boring. It is an open field with few structures.
Mein-MMO author Nicole Wakulczyk got a brief impression: I can only agree with the opinions. My first impression was: Help, why is someone telling me what their tasks as a mechanic are while I am completing a mission, killing enemies, and learning the mechanics. The first minutes in the game felt incredibly hectic to me, even though I am not a shooter novice.
The movement felt strange, the mech only reacted shortly after I moved the mouse – and then way too fast. The missions also seem completely arbitrary and achieving the goals feels unsatisfying. After the first task, everything felt repetitive. Fly off, kill all enemies, come back, repair the mech, take on the next mission.
And someone was constantly talking without me even knowing who all these people are and what role they play. Meanwhile, a stressful music played continuously that reminded me of YouTube ads where mobile games are shown.
I find it unfortunate that the game only has English text and voice output. Even if you have good English skills, it is difficult to follow the texts while being busy with other things.
Is there still hope for Hawken Reborn? Since the developers have planned the Early Access for 12-18 months, it is quite possible that a lot will change in the game. However, whether players will still be interested in the shooter then is another question.
It is worth noting that the shooter is free. With its almost 9 GB, it also loads quickly – and can be uninstalled just as quickly.
From Wednesday, you can evolve Cosmovum into Pokémon GO into Solgaleo or Lunala. But which is better and what evolution is worth it for whom? Find out here.
When will the evolutions be available? On Wednesday, the event Astral Eclipse begins. As part of the event, you can finally evolve Cosmovum into Solgaleo or Lunala. This presents you with a tough decision, as so far you can only obtain one Cosmog through the Special Research “A Cosmic Companion”.
We will show you which of the two evolutions, Solgaleo or Lunala, you should choose.
How does the evolution work?
What you need to know: Before the start of the Astral Eclipse, you cannot carry out the evolutions. But after the start, Cosmovum can be evolved into Solgaleo or Lunala for 100 Cosmog candies.
How you can control the evolution will be explained here:
Currently, you only have one Cosmog that you can evolve. Therefore, we provide you with decision-making aids for the evolution in this article. Niantic has already confirmed that you will be able to catch more Cosmog in the future. When this will be and how it will be possible is unclear.
Solgaleo or Lunala – Which evolution is better?
Lunala:
Belongs to the types Ghost and Psychic
With a moveset of Confusion and Shadow Ball, it has quite strong DPS
If you want double Psychic attacks, Lunala is rather weak and ranks far behind the best Psychic attackers
Solgaleo:
Belongs to the types Psychic and Steel
Can really heat things up in PvP with its Fire attacks
Could become a new meta pick in PvP
Cosmog, Cosmovum, Solgaleo and Lunala
Although the Pokémon have strong base stats, they also need to impress with their movesets. So far, they have not quite succeeded in doing that. Moreover, it is still quite labor-intensive to gather candies for Cosmog, as it can only be caught through Special Research. Therefore, leveling up a Solgaleo or Lunala to participate in raids is intensive.
Conclusion: Based on the information available about Lunala and Solgaleo so far, Lunala is the better Pokémon as a raid attacker. It may be more worthwhile as an evolution for you than Solgaleo. It has the best use as a Psychic attacker in raids. However, it is by no means as strong as Mewtwo.
In PvP, Solgaleo, however, is the more exciting choice. In the Master League, it will find its best use. This conclusion is also supported by PvP expert JRE47, who explains the strengths and weaknesses of the two Pokémon in a larger analysis on reddit.
Have you already thought about which of the two Pokémon you will evolve? Maybe you don’t care about the battle stats at all and just go for the looks. Or maybe you have such a weak Cosmog that evolving hasn’t been worth it for you so far.
Vote here in our survey and tell us and the other trainers whether you want to evolve a Lunala or a Solgaleo.
If you like, share the reasons for your decision here on MeinMMO in the comments. Perhaps you can help other players who are facing this decision.
