Twitch streamers earn millions € with gambling deals – their viewers go bankrupt

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

The US site Bloomberg has examined the crypto casino Stake in a report: It is supposed to make special deals with Twitch streamers to offset their losses in online gambling. They also spoke with viewers of the streamers who followed their role models like Félix “xQc” Lengyel or Trainwreck and have gone bankrupt because of it.

What kind of report is this? The site “Bloomberg” looked into the crypto casino “Stake” and spoke with several streamers, players, the casino itself, and Twitch.

However, they encountered a wall of silence from the streamers. No one wanted to reveal what deals they had closed with the casino (via bloomberg).

Streamers like xQc promote the casino but don’t reveal how much they are getting

What is the casino like on the streamers’ side? Bloomberg asked several streamers like xQc or Trainwreck, but none wanted to comment on the deals they made with the crypto casino Stake. However, it is known:

  • The streamer Mizkif was offered 19 million US dollars in a year if he plays on Stake in front of his audience. Mizkif says: When he saw that a 14-year-old viewer was playing on a site he had promoted, he stopped streaming gambling because he just felt terrible.
  • The streamer xQc shared a promo code from the casino in May 2021: It is not known how much money he received for it. According to his own statements, xQc has now wagered over 685 million US dollars at the casino Stake (via twitch). The Canadian says, he is addicted to gambling.
  • The streamer Trainwreck said six months ago that he makes “much more than a million US dollars a month at Stake” (via twitch).
  • The rapper Drake is said to have started with a balance of 9 million US dollars – it is also unknown what deal he made with Stake.

Bloomberg explicitly criticizes this lack of transparency: The streamers do not explain to their viewers what their deals with Stake look like. It is unclear how much money they receive from the casino and how much of their losses at the casino are real and which are compensated.

Twitch viewers go bankrupt because they follow the streamers

What is Stake like from the viewers’ perspective? Bloomberg spoke with 26-year-old Enneric Chabot, who became aware of Stake through xQc. He signed up there using a promo code from the Canadian.

In a conversation with Bloomberg, he says: At first, he bet 1 $ on the gambling machines and it made him happy, but it quickly went downhill:

I started losing and losing.

Enneric Chabot

Within a few months, Chabot had lost 40,000 $, then took out two bank loans of 20,000 $ each and blew them as well. In the end, he had to declare personal bankruptcy.

He says, although the decision to bet was his own, the joy of Twitch streamers while gaming tempted him to do so.

Twitch streamers actually have other ways to make a lot of money:

“Twitch streamers give viewers a false sense of losing and winning”

Bloomberg also speaks with Indian Vaibhav Kumar (25). He also found his way into online gambling through streamers sponsored by Stake. He says:

As the initial excitement wore off, watching someone gamble so much money turned me off and made me sick. It gives viewers a wrong idea of winning and losing.

Vaibhav Kumar

Kumar says he mainly watched streamers who were sponsored by Stake until he realized that the losses were offset by lucrative promo deals.

However, he had to bear his own losses completely.

Twitch monitors gambling closely

What does Twitch think? Slots, or gambling, is now a large category on Twitch, but that doesn’t have to last forever.

To Bloomberg, a Twitch spokesperson said: They are currently closely monitoring gambling behavior. They have now prohibited posting such promo links like the one xQc promoted for the casino in May 2021.

Now it says:

We take every possible risk to our community very seriously. Although gambling content only accounts for a very small part of the content on Twitch, we are closely monitoring it to ensure that our approach keeps potential dangers away from our global community.

New regulations end gambling hype in Germany

What does it look like in Germany? Even in Germany, some big streamers like MontanaBlack or Knossi have indulged in gambling on Twitch for years and built up a large audience.

There was also significant criticism of their behavior: The ZDF Magazine Royale has extensively dealt with Knossi and uncovered dubious connections to Malta, which seem very similar to what Bloomberg is currently criticizing.

Due to new regulations, gambling on German Twitch has significantly decreased in recent months.

Some of the biggest streamers in the world showcase gambling on Twitch

What is it like in the USA? In the USA, the phenomenon has increased significantly in recent months:

  • Trainwreckstv is number 19 in the world. He showed 148 hours of gambling in the last 30 days
  • ROSHTEIN is number 13 in the world – He showed 262 hours of gambling in the last 30 days
  • xQc remains number 1 worldwide in viewed hours for the last 30 days – he spent 44 hours gambling, making it his “most streamed category” after Just Chatting
  • Overall, slots is the 8th largest category on Twitch by average viewer numbers – trend strongly increasing.

Although Knossi and MontanaBlack stated that they had stopped gambling for moral reasons, we at MeinMMO spoke with lawyer Christian Solmecke a few days ago to explain the situation regarding gambling on Twitch in Germany:

Lost Ark: Berserker Guide – The Best Builds

Anny Anny Reading time 7 minutes

A great sword and endless damage. If you want to play the classic warrior, choose the Berserker in Lost Ark . MeinMMO author Anny Bader has taken a closer look at it and explains what matters.

The Berserker is a subclass of the warrior and wields a gigantic two-handed sword through the world of Lost Ark. His opponents suffer a lot of damage, and the Berserker certainly does not lack AoE attacks.

He is a pure DPS class and can take the least damage compared to the other warrior subclasses. However, the Berserker deals the most damage.

On the Tier List from MeinMMO, the Berserker is in the S range for PvE and is under A for PvP. He is useful for both.

Pro
  • Very high damage
  • High mobility
  • Easy to learn in the early game
  • Plays a useful role in the endgame
Contra
  • Slow animations
  • Little room for error in the endgame

[toc]

This is how the Berserker plays

This is the special ability of the Berserker: With every attack, you accumulate rage, which gradually fills the identity gauge. When it is full, you can press Y to activate Berserker mode. 

In this mode, you deal more damage and have access to the skill Bloodlust, a powerful AoE attack. Additionally, attack and movement speed increase in Berserker mode. 

All skills of the Berserker: If you want to read through all the skills, you can expand this list:

All Skills
  • Finishing Strike: Bring your great sword down on the opponent.
  • Aura Blade: Attack distant enemies with a wave of energy.
  • Mountain Rage: Stomp the ground and deal damage to enemies in a 4-meter radius.
  • Double Strike: Swing your great sword in an X-shape.
  • Hell Blade: Ram your sword into the ground. Hold for a total of 6 hits.
  • Chain Sword: Diagonal upward strike that throws enemies into the air.
  • Powerbreaker: Cause AoE damage and push enemies back. 
  • Maelstrom: Ram your sword into the ground, shockwave pulls enemies in.
  • Red Dust:  Swing your sword upward. Affected enemies suffer an additional 12% damage for 6 seconds.
  • Storm Strike: Move 4 meters toward the opponent, throwing him into the air. Usable multiple times, ends with a downward strike.
  • Strike Wave: Split the ground in front of you. Hold to deal more damage.
  • Shoulder Charge: Attack and rush 7 meters in your line of sight.
  • Blade Storm: Cause a storm of swords while spinning.
  • Heavy Crimes: Strike enemies into the air, then slam them down.
  • Storm Blade: Diagonal strike.
  • Drop Kick Strike: Jump 8 meters and strike enemies into the air. 
  • Wind Blade: Swing your sword and rush through enemies. 
  • Whirlwind: Spin around and deal damage.
  • Bloodlust: AoE attack that can only be used in Berserker mode. 
  • The awakenings, or ultimate skills, of the Berserker are Chain of Vengeance and Berserker’s Wrath. You obtain them at level 50 in North Vern.

The Berserker in the Level Process

How should I allocate my first skill points? When allocating points, it is important that you never need to raise the skill levels above level 10. Skill Level 4 is needed for the first tripod, Skill Level 8 for the second, and Skill Level 10 for the third.

To level up as effectively as possible, you can allocate your points as follows: 

  • Level 12: Initially put 4 points each into Shoulder Charge and Finishing Strike.
  • Up to level 20: A total of 48 points into Finishing Strike.
  • Up to level 25: Now add 20 points into Whirlwind.
  • Up to level 31: A total of 48 points into Whirlwind and additionally 4 points into Storm Strike for more AoE damage.
  • Up to level 35: 4 points into Drop Kick Strike and 20 points into Hell Blade.
  • Up to level 44: Distribute 48 points into Red Dust.
  • Up to level 48: Further points into Hell Blade until you reach Skill Level 10.
  • Up to level 50: The remaining points go into Strike Wave.

By the way, you can reset skill points anytime and for free if you don’t like a certain playstyle. 

The best Berserker builds in the endgame

As with all classes in Lost Ark, when you reach level 50, you can choose a class engraving and thus a playstyle for the Berserker. There are the engravings Berserker’s Technique and Mayhem.

Class Engraving A: Berserker’s Technique

What does the engraving do? The first of the two possible class engravings focuses on critical damage. At level 3, the engraving increases this damage by 50%. Additionally, your critical rate increases. 

The cooldown for filling your identity ability no longer exists. 

For stats, you should focus on specialization and critical, with specialization being the more important of the two. The more specialization your character has, the faster the gauge for his identity ability fills up.

What engravings do I use? As a class engraving, you have already chosen Berserker’s Technique. In addition, you choose the normal combat engravings. Here, first level up Master of Ambush to level three. For other engravings, choose from Awakening, Spirit Absorption, Overlord, Reckless Weapon and Supercharge.

If you want to read up on how the engraving system works, you can take a look at our engraving guide.

As an awakening, you choose Chain of Vengeance in this build.

What does the rotation look like? At the beginning of your rotation, it is important to use the attack Red Dust, as it causes your opponent to suffer more damage for a few seconds. 

To quickly switch into Berserker mode, spam Wind Blade, Strike Wave, and Mountain Rage. Shoulder Charge and Hell Blade serve as fillers until the other attacks are recharged. 

If you are currently fighting a boss, Chain Sword serves as your counter-attack. You can learn how to counter boss attacks in this guide: How to Counter Boss Attacks.

Which collectible cards are important? In Lost Ark, you often receive collectible cards that you can integrate into your character’s card deck. Certain cards in combination yield helpful bonuses; the more cards, the more useful they become. A deck consists of at least 2 and a maximum of 6 cards.

To maximize DPS from your Berserker, the card set Light of Redemption is optimal. It consists of Shandi, Azena, Innana, Nineveh, Wei, Balthorr, and Thirain. Unfortunately, the set is quite expensive.

Alternatively, you can initially go for the deck Howling Rocks. It consists of the cards Armel, King Thirain, Seria, Kharmine, and Delain Armel. Howling Rocks gives your Berserker a crit boost.

More about Lost Ark on meinMMO:

Class Engraving B: Mayhem

What does the engraving do? With the second variant of the Berserker, you choose Mayhem as the class engraving. You have a permanently full rage gauge and can switch to Berserker mode anytime. There is no cooldown.

In this mode, your HP is at 25%, but you also take 65% less damage. Additionally, your character benefits from 18% more damage and 15% more movement speed. 

For stats, you focus on crit and agility.

Which engravings do I use? In addition to your class engraving Mayhem, you also select your combat engravings. Level up Champion’s Persistence to level three. This engraving gives you 16% more attack power when you are below 50% HP. Since this is the case all the time, this engraving is immensely strong for the Berserker with Mayhem. 

After that, focus on Cursed Doll, Reckless Weapon, Overlord, and Master of Ambush.

What does the rotation look like? Here too, your rotation begins with Red Dust to inflict more damage on the opponent with the following attacks. For the most DPS, follow with Finishing Strike, Blade Storm, and Hell Blade. Then start over with Red Dust.

To counter boss attacks, use Chain Sword here as well.

Which collectible cards are important? The card set with class engraving Mayhem is also effectively Howling Rocks, but Light of Redemption is optimal as mentioned above.

What do you think of the Berserker? Have you already tried him, or has his huge two-handed sword intimidated you so far? If you play him, feel free to tell us in the comments which class engraving you chose!

Pokémon GO: New Hyper Bonuses for 2 Events Revealed – Here’s What They Bring

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The great challenge at the GO Fest Sapporo has been successfully solved by you in Pokémon GO. Niantic now rewards Hyperbonuses for the Bug Catching Event and the Community Day featuring Galar Zigzagoon. We show you the new bonuses in an overview.

Why are the events being improved? Last weekend, the GO Fest took place in Sapporo, Japan. Trainers on-site had various tasks and players around the world could help unlock Hyperbonuses during a Global Challenge.

It seems to have worked out well, as Niantic announced that the new Hyperbonuses are confirmed and will be active at the events.

Hyperbonuses for Bug Catching + Community Day announced

What changes for the Bug Catching Event? Thanks to the Hyperbonuses, Unown in the T-form and a regional Pokémon will be available globally at the event. Additionally, there will be content that affects candies, XL candies, and more.

  • Additional candies when you catch Pokémon with a nice, great, or fantastic throw
  • Trainers from level 31 have a greater chance of obtaining XL candies with nice, great, and fantastic throws
  • In raids, you will encounter Unown in the T-form. With some luck, even as Shiny
  • The regional Pokémon Vegimak appears worldwide in the wild and in raids. With some luck, you can catch it as Shiny
  • During the event, a limited research task will run, where you need to catch Bug Pokémon. For this, you will receive items, Mega Energy for Scizor, and encounters with Pokémon
  • You can find all content of the Bug Catching Event here

What changes for the Community Day? In August, the Community Day featuring Galar Zigzagoon will take place. Thanks to the Hyperbonuses, there will be more XP, candies, and trade improvements.

  • Double XP for catching Pokémon
  • Double candies for sending Pokémon
  • You can make two additional special trades per day. In combination with the bonus of the Season of GO, you can then make 4 special trades on the event day
  • Trades that you conduct during the event will cost 75% less Stardust. This bonus replaces the old saving bonus for Stardust and will not be added on

What do you think of the changes to the events? Were the events already good before and are now even better, or did they only become worthwhile through the changes? Let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.

We also have a trick for you that you can apply immediately. Many players complain that opening gifts in Pokémon GO takes too long – with a trick, it’s faster.

Pokémon GO: New Weekly Box brings you 1 item – Here’s what’s inside from today

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The new weekly box starting August 8 in Pokémon GO is known. You can get this item in the week from August 8 to August 15 for 1 coin in the event box.

What is this box? Every week a new box is available for the purchase price of 1 PokéCoin in the Pokémon GO shop. Until a few weeks ago, it contained Remote Raid Passes, but now the contents change regularly.

The dataminers from Pokéminers have reliably predicted which contents will appear in the boxes in recent weeks. Thanks to these dataminers, it is now known which item you can expect in the new weekly box starting August 8.

1-Coin Box starting August 8 – Contents

What’s inside? In the box for one coin you will receive

  • A rainy Lure Module

For which Pokémon and evolutions you can use the rainy Lure Module, we reveal on MeinMMO.

In recent weeks, the 1-Coin Box has always been quite modest in terms of the number of items. It seems that Niantic is still experimenting with which items players want in these packages. While there were still berries or balls in recent weeks, this box focuses on a single module. The last box had an Ice Lure Module. The new contents of the weekly box were shared by the Twitter account of the PokeMiners.

When will the box be available? Around 6:00 AM on August 8, the box should be unlocked for you. If you can’t see it, it is recommended to restart the game. After that, the package should be visible to you.

You will find the box next to the other packages in the shop.

More about Pokémon GO

How long is the box active? You can find the box in the shop for one week and have enough time to tidy up your inventory and make room for the items.

A week later, on August 15, there will be a new box that will bring different contents for you. What is inside cannot be estimated yet. Maybe another Lure Module.

How do you like the contents of the 1-Coin Event Box this time? Write us your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and let us know if the module is worth the 1 coin for you, or if you are saving the box this week.

Attack on the large boosting communities of WoW – Discord server closed due to cheating

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

With boosting, you can earn a lot of gold in World of Warcraft. However, at the beginning of 2022, there were rule changes from developer Blizzard that were supposed to restrict “professional” boosting. After an initial decline, everything went back to how it was before the change, and now someone has taken matters into their own hands. It certainly wasn’t Blizzard.

In World of Warcraft boosting, you let other players guide you through content to complete it faster. There are entire communities in WoW that specialize in boosting.

They charge gold for their services and in the past were able to earn quite a lot. However, at the beginning of 2022, (theoretically) large-scale boosting activities were over. Developer Blizzard changed the rules and prohibited boosting.

However, boosting was not completely banned. If you want to offer boosting services on your server, you may still do so in the trade channel. It is important that you participate in the boosting run yourself.

More on the topic
WoW: Boosting ban confuses players – Blizzard must provide tutoring
von Cortyn

Large boosting communities, however, offer their services on many WoW servers. The players posting the boosting offers in the channel are, however, rarely or not at all participating in the boosting runs. Or the whole thing is organized directly outside of WoW – for example, on Discord.

After the rule change, a decline in boosting was observed, but after a while, everything returned to its usual course – as if the new rules didn’t exist.

Apparently, someone didn’t want to accept that. According to consistent player reports, Discord servers and Discord accounts that were associated with boosting communities were banned.

However, this only affected EU communities. The biggest names that lost their Discord server:

  • Twilight
  • Nova
  • Dawn
  • Oblivion
  • Sylvanas
More on the topic
WoW: The most famous guild in the world is said to be involved in illegal activities
von Schuhmann

As a reason for the ban, Discord stated: “Your account participated in the sale, promotion, or distribution of cheats, hacks, or compromised accounts” (via wowhead.com).

However, only bans occurred on Discord – some servers and accounts of the server admins. The WoW accounts of the affected players remain active. In addition, there were no Discord bans among US communities.

This leads to the assumption that developer Blizzard had nothing to do with the bans on Discord. The attack on the boosting community apparently came from somewhere else. At the moment, it is completely unclear what led to the bans.

More about WoW on MeinMMO:

What do you think, how did the curious bans occur? Is there perhaps a single person behind it, or has a larger group come together to draw Discord’s attention to the boosting servers?

Do you find the ban even justified? In a survey on MeinMMO, we found that some readers have no issues with boosting itself.

Cute MORPG on Steam looks like Nintendo games you played as kids 

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 5 minutes

The MORPG Leafling is available on Steam in Early Access and is an indie project that can be played for free. It is developed by a small team and targets fans of nostalgic 2D visuals from old Nintendo and Sega RPGs.

What kind of game is this? Leafling is a free theme park MORPG in Early Access on Steam, developed by a small team. MORPG with an M, because the developers do not label it as “massive”. In it, you take on the role of explorers who have arrived on a new continent that emerged from the ocean one day.

Leafling provides its players with a 2D pixel art style reminiscent of old Nintendo RPGs like Secret of Evermore or RPG Maker titles such as Underway in Düsterburg and Vampire’s Dawn. Games that many of you will be familiar with from your youth and childhood.

leafling artemia first map
Welcome to Artemia. You start your adventure in Leafling on this map.

Classic 2D RPG in Multiplayer

This is the world of Leafling: Artemia is divided into different areas that are somewhat reminiscent of Super Mario World in structure. You start on a beach map and then move across the world map to the next area, which is a city.

To enter new areas, you must first reach the appropriate level. Along the way, you will encounter other players, who can be found in the areas as well as on the world map.

leafling world map
The world map of Leafling. The individual icons on the map represent their own areas.

In the areas, you will find cities, grasslands, beaches, mountains, deserts, and everything that a classic RPG typically offers in terms of terrains. This also includes dungeons, which you can tackle in normal and “challenging” difficulty. The first one can be completed as early as level 10.

This is how gameplay works: At the start of the game, you choose one of 4 base classes, customize your character a bit, and are thrown directly into the world of Artemia. You start on the beach and must slowly work your way through the various areas.

You do this by playing through the main quest of Leafling. It introduces you to the gameplay basics, explains individual mechanics, and also tells a story that is not too complex or exciting.

The gameplay is simple and offers all the fundamental mechanics of a classic RPG. You complete quests, beat up monsters, collect EXP for your levels and gear for your character. You are not stuck with your starter class, but can try out a whole range of different and sometimes unusual classes, including an “Aquamancer,” a “Miner,” and even a Time Weaver.

Various maps in Leafling

The combat system is action-oriented, and you need to aim to hit the enemies. The skills that you can bind to your hotbar are learned through the equipment you wear. Weapons give you attack abilities, while armor provides you with defensive skills.

For those who enjoy crafting, Leafling also offers a collecting and crafting system, where you can farm materials from which the local blacksmith creates useful items. These can be classic weapons and armor. Or you can cook food by the campfire that grants you various bonuses in battle.

leafling tank classes
leafling support classes
leafling dps classes
leafling collector classes
The classes in Leafling are traditionally divided into tanks, support, and DPS. There’s also the collectors.

Leafling also offers open-world PvP, which can only occur with mutual consent. So you don’t have to worry about being taken out by a griefer as a novice.

This is how Leafling finances itself: The game is also free-to-play in Early Access and can be tried by anyone at any time. However, it features a cash shop where you can buy premium currency called Crystals as well as the “Elite Status,” a one-time package with a title, an aura, and access to the VIP lounge.

The crystals can be used to purchase cosmetic items and “small conveniences.” The team emphasizes that they are strictly against pay-to-win and that their store will not offer gameplay advantages. The premium currency can also be purchased by other players for in-game currency.

leafling shop
The cash shop of Leafling: “You should never feel like you have to spend money to be successful.”

Relaxed grind with poor server stability

This is what the previous reviews say: On Steam, this small MORPG seems to be doing quite well. Of the slightly more than 600 reviews, 72% are positive. The calm atmosphere of the game is praised, allowing for relaxed grinding. The visuals are also positively highlighted because they are inspired by classic RPGs from the Super Nintendo era.

However, it must still be considered that the game is still in Early Access. You will encounter bugs and issues, as well as content that is not yet finished. Some NPC dialogues will lead you into dead ends or certain features will not function properly.

More about MMORPGs on MeinMMO can be found here:

Particularly problematic is the stability of the servers, which the positive Steam reviews also warn against. There are frequent crashes and “rubberbanding,” meaning the character suddenly teleports backward to a previous position. So if you want to try the game, prepare for things not to work perfectly.

According to reviews, there is also a problem that Leafling’s endgame content is designed for 20 players. Currently, according to Steam charts, it is actively played by only 14, which is not surprising for a small, lesser-known indie game. So fans of endgame content in MMORPGs will not get their money’s worth here.

How does Leafling sound to you so far? Will you give it a try, or is it not really your thing? Or have you perhaps already tested the game? Let us know in the comments.

In a perfect world, the biggest MMORPG today would be World of Warhammer

3 legendary birds torment trainers in Pokémon GO – catching is so difficult, one must hope for weak levels

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

For almost two weeks, the Galar forms of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres have been causing trouble in Pokémon GO. But they are really difficult to catch.

How can you catch the monsters? On the night of July 26, 2022, “daily adventure incense” was released. This sends trainers on 15-minute exploration trips, where ideally, they can encounter rare monsters.

The biggest carrot in front of you is the Galar forms of the three legendary Kanto birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Currently, they can only be discovered during adventure incense walks. But: Even that is already very difficult.

So far, there is no guaranteed way to encounter the birds with the incense – you need luck. So it is very possible that you have not encountered any of the three to this day, even if you have been using the incense daily.

But even if one of the monsters does spawn, you shouldn’t hope too much to be able to add it to your collection. Because the beasts really want to stay rare in the ball.

“I didn’t realize you could actually catch them”

How difficult is the catch? In the Pokémon GO subreddit “TheSilphRoad” (via reddit), a graphic from GamePress is currently being discussed. According to GamePress, the birds have a catch chance of only 0.3 percent and furthermore a flee rate of 90%.

This means: It is very likely that the bird will not stay in the ball and will look for a way out right after breaking out.

Furthermore, GamePress has calculated what the chances look like when using a Ultra Ball, a golden razz berry, a curveball, and a Platinum medal – so ideal catching conditions.

The result looks like this:

Link to the Reddit content

If you throw a really good “Excellent throw” with the smallest circle possible, the chance is slightly higher than with a bad throw – but still not high. The best chance you actually have is when you encounter a really, really weak specimen of the three birds. Because the lower the level, the higher the chance of success.

For an Articuno at the lowest level, for example, you can apparently achieve a perfect throw under ideal conditions with a chance of 35%. That is still not much, but at least more than 0.3%.

However, you first have to find such a low-leveled legendary Pokémon – not to mention that they are hardly appearing anyway.

What players are saying: In the discussion, some trainers talk about their experiences so far. Overall, there are many who still haven’t seen any of the birds – and on the other hand, few who can actually report a catch.

  • User “MrMoogle314” found a 127-CP Moltres and met all the ideal conditions. The monster fled anyway (via reddit).
  • “I had a Zapdos with 44 CP that I fortunately caught,” user Ballthax13 had more success (via reddit).
  • “The most important insight is that you shouldn’t stress if you don’t see them or they run away, and just wait for them to appear in raids. They are not really meant to be caught in the wild at these rates,” believes user “aznknight613” (via reddit).
  • “Honestly, I didn’t realize you could actually catch them,” says another user (via reddit).

Another user emphasizes that the difficult catching conditions have now spoiled his adventure incense: “I understand that they are rare and hard to catch. But why do they have to exaggerate EVERYTHING?” criticizes the user (via reddit): “The whole idea with the incense was great. I even felt like going for a walk. But this is ridiculous.”

On the other hand, there are also some trainers who have managed to catch at least one of the birds – and are very happy about their luck. In addition, there are also other monsters in the incense that are worth catching. Some trainers already proudly showed off several days after the release of the item .

But even here, luck is required. What do you currently think about the incense feature and the legendary birds? Does it work for you, or would you wish for an adjustment? Tell us in the comments!

One of the best players in Europe wants LoL to completely remove a champ: “It is so disgusting”

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

League of Legends has numerous champions with unique abilities. However, not all are really popular. A cute little kitty, for instance, does not sit well with G2 jungler “Jankos”.

Who is speaking? Marcin “Jankos” Jankowski is a long-time LoL pro who plays as a jungler for the team G2 Esports.

The LEC Summer Season is currently underway. In a post-match interview with Jankos, the jungler also discussed some tweets from the community.

One of these tweets stated: “Removing Yuumi would improve the state of the game in every patch.” And Jankos said: “I totally agree.”

Cute cat becomes unpopular: “Flawed design”

What kind of champ is this? The support champion Yuumi came into the game in 2019 and has a special feature: She can attach to other heroes, heal them, and even become invulnerable herself. The other champ then takes over the movement for the cat, who can rely on her abilities.

This has already led to curious situations over the years. A streamer even controlled Yuumi with his feet to play two champs simultaneously.

What does Jankos think? Marcin Jankowski is clearly not a fan of the support cat. For him, LoL would be better off without Yuumi: “I believe the champ’s design is flawed. It’s super unfun to play against,” he finds.

With the right partners, he finds her far too strong: “Either she is useless because her team is useless. Or she is massively OP, hugely OP, because she can’t be killed. She just moves as a little parasite on the back of another champion.”

This protection and feeding seems to clearly rub the pro the wrong way: “Many champs synergize so well with her that she simply can’t die. Perma-heal, so much damage, CC – how do you play against that? I think this champ is flawed in design and should be removed or banned.”

In conclusion, he adds: “At least from pro games. If people want to play her in solo queue because they like her, cool. I don’t care. But I think in pro play it’s just disgusting.”

More about League of Legends on MeinMMO:

Is he alone in this? No, numerous players are not necessarily enthusiastic about Yuumi – and have not been for a long time. Already in 2020, one of the best LoL players, “Perkz”, demanded that Yuumi must disappear. He said back then: “I would really wish that Riot admits they messed up and simply removes the champ from the game.”

He referred to her as “unskilled and anti-fun” back then – precisely because Yuumi can simply jump invulnerable from hero to hero.

Also, in the LoL subreddit, there is again a discussion about Yuumi following the Jankos interview (via reddit). There, Yuumi is referred to as an “easy” champ, for whom you don’t have to do much – and that is not well received. Furthermore, playing against or with Yuumi is neither fun.

Some players there may not directly wish for her removal, but at least an adjustment of the cat. What do you think about this topic? Do you like Yuumi, or is the champ nothing for you? Let us know in the comments!

The MMORPG of The Lord of the Rings promises better graphics – Outdated content should become the most beautiful

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

The Lord of the Rings Online was released in 2007. Now the developers talked about the future and promise improvements in some areas.

What kind of game is this? The Lord of the Rings Online takes place in the world of Middle-earth and is one of the best-rated MMORPGs on Steam 2022.

For its 15th anniversary, the game took a remarkable turn by offering numerous content all at once for Free2Play players. This also led to a jump in player numbers.

What’s next? On this topic, Executive Producer Rob “Severlin” Ciccollini spoke in a Q&A about the future of “Lord of the Rings Online”.

In a video lasting about an hour, “Severlin” answered various questions from the community. The discussion mainly focused on the big planned autumn update, in which the game is expected to receive some additional content.

Improved graphics, more endgame – What HdRO plans

HdRO on the graphics: In terms of visuals, the game aims to improve, but there are difficulties. “We are currently looking into something that will refresh our graphics code and some artwork,” explains Severlin.

“Our goal is to tackle and update some outdated art so that it becomes one of the best.” However, one should not expect results too quickly: “I can tell you that it is incredibly slow to arrange a large project like this, and I apologize for that,” Severlin said. Legal and organizational issues would slow down the process.

There is also ongoing work on character creation, specifically on human races: “We are working on a large number of customization options for characters,” said Severlin. Part of the art update will also concern avatars, “making them look better without changing them too much,” said the producer. They should look “very good,” but not completely different. However, everything is still a work in progress, just like improvements to the user interface.

What about the endgame? Here Severlin was a bit more specific. The Executive Producer admits that there has been too little to do for endgame players lately. But that is set to change: “We are in a transition phase because we have hired many new people who are now stepping up and whom we are training, which is very exciting. The result is that we are in a different situation than with a small core group like we had in the past,” Severlin explains.

This now enables us to deliver more for the endgame: “In the next updates, we will try to get a handle on that. We like to have mid-game content, but we can’t have so much that your main character feels like there is nothing to do. So we definitely need content for the endgame.”

More on the topic at MeinMMO:

The update in autumn is expected to be roughly the size of the “War of the Three Peaks” expansion. Plans include a new 6-player dungeon, a new skirmish, and the so-called “Delving System”. The latter involves the ability to adjust difficulties and obtain better rewards for missions.

Additionally, a new leveling experience for levels 1 to 30 is planned, along with server improvements. However, more information is expected soon: A major announcement about The Lord of the Rings Online is planned for the end of August, with DevCom on August 22.

The most broken Exo in Destiny made Bungie so crazy that they had to give up on it

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny has a huge collection of weapon and armor exotics that Guardians can collect throughout their careers. Some of them worked perfectly at launch, while others had to be adjusted repeatedly. So far, Bungie has managed to tame every exotic except for one and we’re not talking about the “Queen of Bugs” Telesto.

Which exotic is it? It is the solar fusion rifle from Destiny 1 named “Infinity”. This weapon from the Rasputin factory caused horror and terror in the first year of the loot shooter, although not many Guardians had access to this weapon. At that time, year 1 exotic weapons were bound to quests that could only be obtained randomly by completing loot runs.

Destiny-1-Unendlichkeit
An unassuming fusion rifle

Only eager loot run hunters got to enjoy this fusion rifle and its untamed destructive fury. Therefore, hardly anyone remembers this exceptional talent.

An untamable exceptional talent of an exotic weapon

Why was the exotic so powerful? Those who know fusion rifles know that they must first charge up to fire rounds. Depending on the weapon, this can take longer or shorter. However, this was not the case with Infinity. Once charged, this fusion rifle fired the entire magazine without delay.

Even in the case of missed shots due to the heavy recoil, Guardians had nothing to worry about, as they were refunded in 90% of the cases. And as if that wasn’t enough, Guardians also had a total of 8 shots available in the magazine with this fusion rifle.

If this doesn’t sound wild enough for you, we dug up a clip from 2014 for this case:

Link to the YouTube content

In PvE as well as in PvP, no one stood a chance against this weapon until Bungie intervened and tried to tame the beast.

Bungie had to pull the plug once and for all: In the first year of Destiny 1, Bungie understood how powerful the weapon was and tried to rein it in. Adjustments, such as reducing the magazine size and changing certain perks, aimed to address the issue, but it was not enough.

The weapon’s dominance was simply too strong. Ultimately, Bungie decided not to allow this weapon a comeback in years 2 and 3 of Destiny 1. Thus, it slowly became a fleeting memory of Destiny 1’s weapon history.

You can find more Destiny 2 in these articles:

In Destiny 2, Infinity made its way back. However, in a less brutal form, of course. There it is known as “Merciless”. The fully automatic firing mode was removed, but a rapidly increasing rate of fire was added, with non-lethal shots. Missed shots are also not refunded this time.

Interestingly, Merciless was also able to dominate Calus, the raid boss of the Leviathan for a while. But Bungie quickly put a stop to the fusion rifle, and it was easier than with Infinity in Destiny 1.

But enough of the nostalgic storytelling. Were you around at that time? And if so, did you cause terror in Destiny 1 with it? Feel free to let us know in the comments how you felt about this weapon or whether this fusion rifle should stay where it is.

Pokémon GO: Everything we know about the GO Fest Final 2022

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

At the end of August, the final of the GO Fest 2022 will take place in Pokémon GO. We summarize all information about the global event.

When will the GO Fest final 2022 take place? The closing event for the Pokémon GO Fest 2022 will run on Saturday, August 27. After three local GO Fests in Berlin, Seattle, and Sapporo, this will again be a global variant for all players worldwide.

Do I need a ticket? The event will bring content that will only be unlocked for ticket holders.

  • If you have already participated in the global GO Fest in June 2022 with a ticket, you do not need an additional ticket. You will receive the closing ticket at no extra cost.
  • Alternatively, there is a separate ticket for the closing event. It will cost $10.99 (approximately 10 – 11 Euros) and will be available at a later time.

Do I need a ticket for all bonuses? There has been no detailed announcement of the bonuses that will be available during the closing event. However, it is conceivable that some bonuses will also be obtainable without a ticket – at least that was the case in past GO Fests.

What does the closing event of GO Fest 2022 bring?

This content is already known: After the first appearance of the first Ultra Beast at GO Fest 2022, various monsters appeared at the local GO Fests over the past weeks.

So far, all these monsters have been event-exclusive. However, they will return for the global GO Fest and all 4 will be catchable.

Pokemon GO Fest Ultra Beast
The Pokémon Presents stream showcased the 4 beasts.

In addition, it is expected that the Zenith form of Shaymin will play a role. Although it has not been specifically announced yet, it was shown in the Pokémon Presents stream in connection with the GO Fest.

This Shaymin form has also only been catchable at the local GO Fests up to now. The regular Shaymin version, however, was already catchable at the global GO Fest.

Pokemon GO Shaymin Zenith Form

It is certain that there will be a special research for the closing event that all players with a ticket can complete. It is likely that Zenith Shaymin will be included.

Return of the Professor? In terms of story, we will probably experience the return of Professor Willow – or at least find out what exactly happened to him. The conclusion of the story surrounding the Ultra Research Team member “Rin” and Willow has been announced for the event.

More about Pokémon GO on MeinMMO:

Are there additional bonuses? These are all the known contents so far, but it is to be assumed that further details and bonuses for the event will be published ahead of the GO Fest closing event.

As soon as more information is available, we will keep you updated at this point!

But first, the next event in Pokémon GO is coming up: The Bug Week will focus on monsters like Genesect and Mega Scizor. You can find all information about the Bug Week here.

Lawyer must compensate Activision after lawsuit because he didn’t play enough Call of Duty

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

In 2021, a bizarre legal dispute arose in the state of California. A company sued Call of Duty, claiming to have discovered copyright infringements in the story campaign of “Infinite Warfare”. The lawsuit was so far-fetched that the responsible lawyer had to compensate Activision – for not having played enough CoD.

Infinite Warfare was the Call of Duty from 2016 and took place quite far into the future. The story features outrageous scenes in space and plays with the fear of getting lost in the vastness of space.

Perhaps this was not the most original idea even at the time of its release in 2016. However, a company from the USA took it a step further. Brooks Entertainment sued Activision-Blizzard, the corporation behind Call of Duty, for damages: They claimed ideas were stolen.

Developers have allegedly been copying League of Legends boldly and successfully for years – But Riot has no desire to keep watching this
von Dariusz Müller

This was the accusation: The suing company and their lawyer claimed that the main character of Infinite Warfare, Sean Brooks, is based on the CEO of Brooks Entertainment: Shon Brooks.

Furthermore, they claimed that ideas from two mobile games of the company were used in Infinite Warfare. According to Brooks Entertainment, they own the rights to the financial mobile games “Save One Bank” and “Stock Picker”.

The lawsuit described several situations under which they intended to assert copyright infringements.

The plaintiffs described a scripted combat scene taking place in a “High Fashion Couture” shopping mall, where they allegedly saw the CEO “Shon Brooks” in the role of the CoD character “Sean Brooks”. There were several such comparisons.

von Britta ♤ BeAngel

This is how the case turned out: The lawsuit was dismissed by the court. Moreover, the lawyer of Brooks Entertainment was instructed to compensate Activision-Blizzard for the unnecessary effort.

In the USA, there is the option for a defendant to file a motion for the sanctioning of the plaintiff if the lawsuit is unnecessary and based on random or false evidence (via Kotaku.com).

If this motion is approved, the subject of the proceedings cannot be brought to court again, and compensation for expenses is also possible.

More about Call of Duty on MeinMMO:

Why does the lawyer have to pay? The accusation was too far from the truth, and it could have been easily verified whether copyright infringements occurred.

The court stated that the plaintiff’s lawyer should have played Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare more before filing the unfounded lawsuit. Only the first 1.5 hours needed to be completed for verification.

Thus, Sean Brooks is not actually the main character of the game, but Commander Nick Reyes. Furthermore, the character Sean Brooks was not involved in the combat scene in the shopping mall, as claimed in the lawsuit.

Additionally, Infinite Warfare was referred to by the plaintiffs as a first and third-person shooter, even though it is purely a first-person shooter.

All in all, the court saw no reason for the lawsuit and even stated that it was a waste of resources.

WoW: Old Gods in Dragonflight? Many prophecies have now taken on a new meaning

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 5 minutes

Is it just the Old Gods hiding behind the story of World of Warcraft Dragonflight? Many prophecies fit well with the story of the new expansion …

When it comes to the story of World of Warcraft, numerous theories continually arise. Especially the whispers of the Old Gods from previous expansions are frequently referenced when it comes to major developments in the history of Azeroth. This seems to be the case again with the new expansion Dragonflight.

Many of the old quotes are now being wildly discussed again – and they seem to fit exceptionally well.

Which quotes are we talking about? Mainly quotes from Il’gynoth. He was a boss in the “Legion” expansion and later again in “Battle for Azeroth.” He is a servant of the Old Gods and thus belongs to the cosmic force of the Void. The Void has the ability to see all possible future variants but cannot recognize which of them will truly come to pass. Therefore, it is quite possible that quotes from these creatures are complete nonsense that will never come true – or exactly what the heroes of Azeroth are soon to face.

Since their introduction, these quotes have been wildly discussed time and again, and that is also the case with Dragonflight. In the World of Warcraft subreddit, some details have been compiled.

Il’gynoth talks a lot when the day is long. And some of it just fits way too well.

„Five keys to open our way. Five torches to light our path.”

(“Five Keys to open our way. Five torches to light our path.”)

The number 5 appears repeatedly in World of Warcraft. For example, in Legion there were already 5 Pillars of Creation, in Shadowlands 5 leaders of the major covenants, and in Dragonflight there are 5 Dragonflights with their 5 aspects.

The quote is particularly interesting in connection with a second quote, as Il’gynoth later says:

„Five lanterns, now darkened. The flame they seek will light the masters’ way.”

(“Five lanterns, now darkened. The flame they seek will light the masters’ way.”)

This also fits exceptionally well with the aspects. They lost a significant part of their power with the end of Cataclysm – in other words, their “lantern has darkened” in a metaphorical sense. With the return to the Dragon Isles, the aspects are also trying to regain their power in order to watch over Azeroth once more – they are seeking a new “flame” to rekindle their strength.

„Its surface blazes bright, masking shadows below.”

(“Its surface blazes bright, masking shadows below.”)

This quote also fits wonderfully with the cinematic of the Dragonflight expansion. After all, the beacon of Tyr shines brightly, and Azeroth itself, as seen at the beginning by the sea, glows with magical brilliance. It is quite possible that this refers to the corruption that is gnawing at Azeroth underground and slowly but surely bringing it closer to complete corruption.

Start video
WoW: Here is the spectacular cinematic for the new expansion Dragonflight

„From the earth, he draws strength. Our earth. Our strength.”

(“From the earth, he draws strength. Our earth. Our strength.”)

There are mainly two possible candidates for beings that draw strength from the earth. The first is Galakrond. This gigantic dragon has been dead for many millennia, yet his skeleton still exists. Datamining discovered years ago that there is a new map of the Dragonblight where the skeleton is missing – even though this has never been implemented. However, the NPC Rafaam has also appeared, who had already awakened Galakrond in Hearthstone. He might intend to do the same in WoW …

The second candidate could be Wrathion. He is one of the remaining black dragons, who traditionally were the Earth Warders. Like Neltharion (Deathwing), he draws his strength from the earth and could thus connect with the corruption – after all, the earth is tainted by the Old Gods, which could also fit with the next quote:

„The boy-king serves at the master’s table. Three lies will he offer you.”

(“The boy-king serves at the master’s table. Three lies will he offer you.”)

Although in the past much pointed to Anduin, who is already referred to as the “boy-king”, the title would also apply to Wrathion. For Wrathion is still extremely young but might be able to take control of the black dragonflight and thereby become a “king”. Through his connection to the earth – and thus possibly to the Void – he could become a servant of the Old Gods.

WoW Anduin Wrathion Finger Point
Wrathion and Anduin are friends – but is one of them corrupted?

„At the hour of her third death she ushers in our coming.”

(‘At the hour of her third death she ushers in our coming.‘)

For a long time, it was suspected that this referred to Azeroth – but it could just as easily refer to Queen Azshara. She “died” the first time when her kingdom fell and she made a pact with N’Zoth. The second time she “died” in battle against the heroes in Naz’jatar and was taken to Ny’alotha. From there, she escapes (thanks to our help) and declares that she must go “to the true throne of power.” A throne that may lie deep beneath the Dragon Isles. After several years, Azshara will surely reappear sooner or later.

The Theme of “Awakening”

One last point is the overall theme of the Dragonflight expansion. Blizzard has already explained that it will be about “awakening” – at first glance, about the awakening of Azeroth, the awakening of the new power of the dragons, and generally the elemental energies that are slowly flooding the planet. However, in previous expansions, the theme always had a second, darker meaning, which in this case would be the awakening of something dark.

Who knows if the forces of the Void will stir again and if the end of Dragonflight won’t later lead to the next cosmic threat of the Old Gods. After all, Blizzard generally alternates between “cosmic, large-scale” threats and then returns to a somewhat simpler, Azeroth-based theme.

More interesting information about World of Warcraft can be found here:

How likely is all of this? Ultimately, this is of course just speculation, as it has been in past years. However, there are already hints in the game data of the Alpha that we will push underground into the Dragon Isles during the course of the expansion and likely find quite a bit there – thematically at least aligning with the Old Gods and their corruption, as well as a possible return of the gigantic primordial dragon Galakrond.

But even if none of this comes true, the entire quotations show an interesting detail: They are quite well-written and ensure that one can always spin new theories that never mention anything concrete but are specific enough to allow many interpretations. Just like cool prophecies should be.

And finally, speculating is simply fun. After all, there are many possibilities for how WoW could now develop …

What do you think, in what direction will the Dragonflight expansion develop? Will it be about Old Gods, Azshara, or Galakrond? Or will Blizzard steer clear of these themes for now?

How to rock Vantage in Apex Legends – We asked the developers for tips

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 5 minutes

MeinMMO interviewed the developer team of the new legend “Vantage” in Apex Legends. We discussed the best strategies for Vantage, the most effective counter-play, and her adorable companion Echo.

In Apex Legends, the new season “Hunted” starts on August 9th. Players have already gotten a glimpse of the new legend coming with the new season: Vantage.

Vantage and her male bat Echo are true survivors. Vantage is a young sniper participating in the Apex Games to fight for justice for her mother.

MeinMMO spoke with the developers of Vantage and asked questions about the new legend. The interviewees were:

  • Chris Winder – Lead Legend Designer
  • Kevin Lee – Senior Writer
On the left, you see Chris Winder (Lead Legend Designer) and on the right Kevin Lee (Senior Writer)

“Some players will take some time to get used to her”

MeinMMO: At the beginning, what type of Apex player would you recommend Vantage for? More for beginners or for advanced players?

Chris Winder: With Vantage, we wanted to create a character for players who want to utilize greater distances in the game […]. So we definitely recommend it to players who like to lean back a bit and support their team, maybe scout the area, keep an eye out for other teams, and share their information with their team.

And I think the other group that will appreciate Vantage are players who enjoy moving around. She has her tactics that allow her to access many different places, not just vertically but also laterally when needed. The ability to explore new movement mechanics in Apex – we already have some of those – players who enjoy that will find joy in Vantage.

Start video
Vantage im Apex Legends Charakter-Trailer

MeinMMO: You’ve already talked about Vantage’s strategies. Could you give us some tips on how to use this movement mechanic and her strength? How can you play Vantage most effectively?

Chris Winder: I think some players will take some time to get used to it, unlike other movement mechanics that are executed immediately upon initiation. With the hero Horizon, you start right away, you throw an item on the ground and float upwards. Or you grab onto a building with Pathfinder’s hook the moment you see it and take off. Vantage takes a little time. For one, to charge her tactical ability to initiate the launch, but also to place Echo [her bat] in the right position.

He [Echo] is quite fast, so you can get him to where you need him in time. But I think over time, good Vantage players will start to think about where they should position Echo in every situation.

So if I need to get away or need to gain height at that moment, I know that is the best spot. So either on top of a building or maybe along an exit corridor, in case the team is on my tail, so I have an escape route. Or I might position Echo toward my team when they are destroying a few shields or I’m dealing some damage, then I can rejoin my team.

If you think strategically in advance and place Echo in those positions, you’ll get the most benefit from the tactical ability compared to others.

In the launch trailer for “Hunted,” you can see Vantage in the Apex Games

Start video
Apex Legends – Hunted Launch Trailer

What to do when playing against a Vantage?

MeinMMO: If there’s a Vantage on the other team. What is the best counter for me? Which legend would be the best to beat Vantage?

Chris Winder: […] We definitely had some good Vantage vs. Vantage fights during testing […]. Sometimes you see a Vantage targeting another, so they can effectively engage at equal distance. That is an interesting mechanic made possible by the ultimate ability, because the damage does not remain the same but multiplies.

This is Vantage’s ultimate: “Sniper’s Mark” – After a first successful hit, the opponent remains marked for 10 seconds. After that, the damage of each subsequent shot on the target increases. The damage from other teammates to the marked target also increases.

If you make the first shot, then the second shot is significant. Sometimes you can let yourself get hit by the opponent’s first shot and if you believe you are safe enough to fire your own second shot before the other does. […] So that is one way.

I think another counter would be other movement legends that can close the distance to Vantage. Maybe you can isolate her if she is in a position where she is a bit separated from her team, and in such situations, you could attack her.

Some characters could take advantage of that. However, they need to be quick because Vantage can, as I mentioned earlier, get out of that situation if she finds herself in trouble. But yes, those could be some good counters.

MeinMMO: Some players – myself included – have noticed some parallels between her and Bloodhound. […] Was that intended?

Kevin Lee: Yes, I think when we were working on it, it was somewhat inevitable. We saw those parallels already. And at first, we thought: “Oh no. We don’t want Vantage to be designed just like Bloodhound.”

But then we realized that she is so much different, and that created a lot of interesting character dynamics between the two. Because even though they have the two similarities of being hunters and having pets, they are very different. Bloodhound is very serious, with a strong focus on honor and bravery. And Arthur is not exactly the cuddliest raven you can imagine […]

Echo in Stories from the Outlands: Survive, YouTube

In contrast, Vantage is funny, optimistic, and very capable. She is not naive, but simply not as experienced and skilled […] as Bloodhound. And Echo is just a somewhat playful creature, funny and with a broad personality range.

And so we found that while there are overlaps, there are also enough differences that create a really interesting character dynamic between the two. We are really convinced that she could bring forth a lot of great stories and things.

More about Apex Legends is here:

Last but not least: Echo!

MeinMMO: Have you already planned Echo’s personality, or should the player give him some personality?

Kevin Lee: It is definitely balanced. We wanted him to be somewhat cute and sweet so that everyone falls in love with him. But we also wanted to emphasize that he is a wild creature. Just like Vantage came from a very survival-oriented lifestyle and is now experiencing civilization for the first time.

Echo has a similar journey. He has lived in the wilderness all his life and is now in this situation with the Apex Games, and that’s why he is sweet and cuddly with Vantage. But he is […] incredibly protective and is still a wild creature. He listens to the whistle, but he doesn’t “sit” or “stay” (laughs).

We thank Chris Winder and Kevin Lee for the interview and wish them much success in developing new legends for Apex Legends.

What do you think of Vantage and Echo? Feel free to write it in the comments.

This was not the only interview MeinMMO conducted recently: Here you can find an interview with a drag queen on Twitch, where we asked about their biggest issues and wishes while streaming.

Victims and perpetrators describe the biggest scam in the MMORPG EVE Online – “He was my best friend in the game”,

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 5 minutes

In the brutally tough SF MMORPG EVE Online, pilots fly valuable ships and trust no one. But a video from August 2022 now tells the story of a legendary pilot who entrusted a fraudster with his most valuable ship. The surprising thing: this one story in the otherwise heartless MMORPG EVE Online actually has a happy ending.

What kind of video is this?

  • The site PCGamer has created a 16-minute video in which those involved look back at a legendary heist in 2017. They describe in detail how the fraud occurred, why they acted as they did at the time, and how they view it today (via PCGamer).
  • Fraud is part of EVE: The space simulation does nothing to protect players from fraudsters. On the contrary: a clever scam is something that is respected and cherished in EVE. Many stories revolve around legendary incidents of fraud and betrayal. But the large scam of 2017 was different in many respects. The fraud extended over 16 months and, in the end, even made the fraudster feel remorse.
  • The fraudster himself wrote a post about the incident on reddit: “The 300 billion ISK heist, of which I almost wish I had never committed.”

Pilot and his unique spaceship become legends in EVE Online

What was the scam about? In EVE Online, the famous pilot TikkTokk Tokkzikk flies: After years of playing, he fulfilled his dream and bought an extremely rare ship, a “Chremoas Frigate”: a special reward for the “Alliance Tournament XI” event from 2013, which is therefore only available in limited numbers in EVE Online.

The ship is designed with a cloaking device for “small group PvP” and is actually totally overpowered, as even the EVE developers admit.

Normally, such a ship is so valuable that it is hardly used: For every battle, there is a risk that the ship will be destroyed forever.

But TikkTokk was such a good player and could assess the risks so well before each battle that he collected 400 kills, which were reflected as markings on his ship. He gathered these kills without losing the ship. His Chremoas became legendary.

eve-chermoas
The spaceship itself is already valuable – but with 400 kill marks, it became unique in the EVE Online universe.

What was the scam? A player infiltrated the group of pilots called the Amamake Police with the character “Samantha Myth” and became part of the elite PvP unit. This is unusual because the elite PvP unit does not let anyone in easily and every elite player in EVE is notoriously paranoid.

In the video, Samantha Myth mentions that the difficult part was getting into the group at all. It would have caused too much distrust if he had actively sought out the close-knit group of pilots to which TikkTokk belongs. So, he just hung around passively for a long time, hoping to be approached by a member of the Amamake Police. Eventually, that happened.

A friend of TikkTokk, Casper24, invited him:

I met Samantha Myth in an in-game channel where he linked a few pretty cool kills that you can click on to see what ship he used and what he killed. And I thought: Okay, he looks like a really nice guy and so we invited him to fly with us. We decide who flies with us this way, as we don’t want to be scammed.

Casper24

TikkTokk says: Because Casper was flying with the “new guy”, he assumed that Samantha Myth was fine – after all, he was now a friend of his friend.

Fraudster becomes the best friend of the later victim over 18 months

Over 18 months, Samantha Myth gained TikkTokk’s trust, becoming his companion in the game and his friend. His tactic was to be a “solid, reliable player” who was always approachable and available for any task.

To prepare for the scam, Samantha Myth bought himself an expensive ship for a lot of ISK, the in-game currency, a “Whiplash”, and then started lending this ship to crew members for free.

By bringing in this “why don’t you try flying my ship this week” thing to the group, he established a new practice, as he says.

After 18 months, it was time for TikkTokk to trust him with his own ship. By that time, it had become normal to fly each other’s valuable possessions and lend their own.

There are also legendary stories in other MMORPGs like WoW:

Pilot learns from the forum that he has been scammed for months, is bitterly disappointed

This is how TikkTokk learned about the scam: The pilot woke up one morning thinking everything was fine: In a few days, his friend would return the ship to him, but friends alerted him that he should definitely check reddit.

Thus, TikkTokk read on reddit about the scam he had fallen for. He knew immediately: This is real, I was betrayed by a friend. Even by his “best friend in the game”, as he says in the video.

TikkTokk wrote on reddit: Worse than the loss of the ship is the loss of friendship. Because the fraudster had become his best friend in the game over the last year and a half. Yes, even more than that – playing with Samantha Myth at his side had become part of his EVE Online experience.

eve-samantha-myth
The player behind Samantha Myth continues to appear only through his game character and remains anonymous.

Today, TikkTokk explains in the video: After the scam, he seriously considered quitting and leaving the MMORPG. He doubted everything in 2017:

  • Had the friend lied to him for 18 months?
  • Was nothing real, was everything just played?

He even feared that this betrayal could change who he is. Because up until then, he had been a trusting person. The betrayal made him doubt his own beliefs.

Fraudster returns the money to the victim to get his ship back

This is how the story ended: The special thing about the story is that Tikktokk’s disappointment at having lost a friend was so sincere and authentic that the otherwise merciless community of the MMORPG took his side.

Normally, in EVE it is said, “The honest person is the fool – and the fraudster is the hero”, but now TikkTokk was seen as the real heart winner.

The fraudster was also moved by the words of the victim. Ultimately, the fraudster approached TikkTokk and returned the money he had received from the sale of the ship, allowing TikkTokk to buy back his beloved ship.

After I talked to Samantha Myth on Skype for 2 weeks, he asked me if he could do anything to repair our friendship. I told him that I just wanted my Chremoas back and if he could help with that, I wouldn’t hold any bad feelings toward him. Then he sent me 120 billion ISK, the sum he received for the sale of the ship.

TikkTokk

This is how victims and perpetrators view it today: The fraudster said that ultimately, he just wanted to show that he could pull off the scam; it wasn’t even about the money:

When it was all over, I said: Hey, let’s handle this cool. You have to understand that I didn’t do it for the money or to be a jerk. I just did it to prove I could.

Samantha Myth

TikkTokk says today: He always knew that the day would come when he would lose the ship.

What he didn’t expect, however, was the immense support from people who empathized with him. Ultimately, one can never say how people would behave. Today he is almost grateful that he was scammed back then, because it made him realize how many people in the game cared about his well-being.

To the fraudster, he says: “If we ever meet in real life, you owe me a beer.”

HandOfBlood’s LoL team wanted to win the European Masters within 2 years, but is already out in the playoffs

Lydia Lydia Reading time 3 minutes

In November 2021, YouTuber Max “HandOfBlood” Knabe, also known as Hänno, announced his intention to establish the LoL team Eintracht Spandau in eSports. Since then, they have been mixing it up in the Strauss Prime League. But Hänno wanted more, announcing that he aimed to win the EU Masters within 2 years. Now, the playoffs have come to an end.

What’s the story with Eintracht Spandau?

  • In his role as president, Knabe leads Eintracht like a football club – including press conferences and public viewings at the local bar
  • The fans love it; they cheer for their team over Twitch and at public viewings
  • But it’s not just about storytelling; the gameplay performance should match
  • No later than in 2 years, they want to win the EU Masters, says Hänno
  • After a rather mediocre summer split, Eintracht made a strong comeback, winning the big Berlin derby against BIG
  • However, it ended in the playoffs against Schalke 04

In the video, we introduce you to the LoL team of HandOfBlood:

After a strong start, they couldn’t capitalize on the advantage

This is how the playoffs work: Up to 5 rounds are played, and whoever wins at least 3 of them wins. The match Eintracht Spandau vs. Schalke 04 was exciting until the end, although the Royals were able to win the best-of-five.

This is how the game went: Spandau got off to a strong start, securing the first game confidently. On Eintracht’s Twitch channel, where the matches are commented on by their in-house streamer Broeki in the “fan mile”, they appeared confident of victory:

They asked the chat whether they prefer to win 3:0 or 3:1. After all, the latter would offer more content.

But in the second game, the tables turned. Schalke picked up momentum, repeatedly winning in team fights. They equalized and eventually took the lead in game 3.

Eintracht played aggressively, confidently going into fights. They took many risks that didn’t always pay off. However, in the fourth round, Eintracht fought their way back into the game.

Even in the decisive fifth round, they managed to gain an early advantage. But S04 secured an early Baron buff and a gold advantage. In the end, they managed to prevail in the top lane. With the advantage in numbers, they ultimately claimed victory.

Why is this disappointing? Especially bitter is the exit in the playoffs, especially after having already reached the Masters in spring, even if only to the group stage. They would have certainly liked to build on that strong first season with another entry.

An additional disappointment for fans is that there will now be no derby against BIG in the playoffs. Instead, they will compete against S04 on 09.08. Some fans might even come up with the idea to cheer for the Berlin rivals this time. (via Twitter)

Did you wish for a victory for Hänno and his Eintracht, or was the defeat against Schalke 04 deserved? Will you follow the European Masters even without Eintracht?

Final Fantasy XIV: 5 crazy mounts and where to find them

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 5 minutes

Final Fantasy XIV offers players a wide variety of mounts. Some of them are so crazy that they are actually great. Here are 5 more of them.

In the years since the release, over 200 different mounts have appeared in Final Fantasy XIV, which can either be earned or purchased in the MMORPG shop.

With such a large number of noble steeds, there are always a few that are not quite so noble. Or, on the contrary, really crazy. In this list, we present you with another 5 of them and explain how you can obtain them.

The first article on the craziest mounts in FFXIV can be found here:

Hippowagon

ffxiv hippowagen

Chocobo carriages are a proven and widely used means of transport in Eorzea, whose popularity naturally also attracted imitators. Imitators, such as the hippowagons, which are not pulled by cute yellow birds, but by hippos.

Even though the hippos are not exactly the epitome of elegance when running and flying looks quite crazy, they are capable. Despite their considerable weight, a hippo in real life can reach speeds of up to 50 km per hour. Woe to the one who is unlucky enough to get in the way of a hippowagon.

How do I get the Hippowagon? The carriage is available from the NPC Ghanta in Thavnair X: 21 / Y: 28 for 18 Arkasodara-Pana, once you have reached the corresponding reputation level with the Arkasodara tribe.

You can conveniently earn Pana through the Arkasodara tribe quests. You earn one Pana per quest.

Wivre

ffxiv wivre

We humans are strange beings. We always want exactly what we cannot have or what we should not have. And in the end, we get it anyway. This was also the case with the Wivre mount.

The ungainly creatures not only look strange with their horn, but are also notorious for being vicious and unruly. It is a well-known fact that taming a Wivre is a long, annoying, and often deadly process. However, after the Mamool Ja managed to tame a few animals, there was no stopping for the adventurers of Eorzea.

How do I get Wivre? The difficulty of taming a Wivre is reflected in the difficulty of obtaining one. You need a whopping 50,000 two-colored gemstones for the horn, which you earn by completing FATEs in Shadowbringers and Endwalker areas. You get a maximum of 14 stones per FATE.

However, since you can only hold a maximum of 1,000 stones at a time, you will need to regularly exchange them for trading certificates, which you can trade with the gemstone vendors in Endwalker areas. You need 500 of such certificates for one Wivre.

Or you can let someone else do the work and buy the item at the market board.

Papa Paissa

ffxiv papa paissa

Actually, the story of Papa Paissa is quite tragic. He and his wife were so hardworking that they ended up having a total of 8 children. The problem was that you have to feed all those hungry mouths somehow, and Gil unfortunately doesn’t grow on trees.

To secure his large family financially, Papa Paissa offered his services as a mount to wealthy adventurers. So, if you don’t mind having to cling to the fur of the Paissa like a madman at dangerous heights to avoid falling to your doom.

How do I get Papa Paissa? The mount is available in the FFXIV cash shop. It costs €16.80 there.

Monitor

ffxiv level checker

FFXIV is notorious for having many things and beings that can fly that really shouldn’t be able to. The long list, which so far has included pigs, tyrannosaurs, giraffes, beds, and other mounts, is now expanded by a screen.

The Monitor is a mysterious machine developed by the Omicrons that seems to be used for analysis. However, how it is able to shrink and absorb its riders for transport, so that they are inside of it, is a mystery. Use at your own risk.

How do I get the Monitor? To obtain this mount, you first need 12 Chi bolts, which you can turn in at the NPC Nexvaaz in Radz-at-Han (X: 10.6 / Y: 10). You get bolts by successfully completing the FATE “From the Memory of: Destruction.”

This occurs in the area of Ultima Thule (X: 34.4 / Y: 21.4) and is a rare FATE. If you want the Monitor, it is advisable to join a hunt contact circle. The spawns of such FATEs are usually communicated there, even across servers.

Snowman

ffxiv schneemann mount

While with most other mounts, you can at least roughly see what they are, with the snowman it’s a mystery surrounded by many questions. Is it a living being or a machine? How exactly can it fly? Why is it hollow inside? And above all… how cold is it to ride it when it is prepared with Everfrost Crystals?

The questions about how to even see where you are riding can easily be answered. To avoid crashing into the nearest monitor or hippo-wagon while riding, you have to keep your head held high and bounce around that way. Not a particularly elegant way of movement, even though the snowman itself is actually quite cute.

How do I get the Snowman? Originally, this mount was one of the rewards for the Starlight Festival 2020. By now, you can find it in the FFXIV cash shop for €8.40.

If you want to grab a snowman but are patient, you can wait for a sale event. At the latest, with the start of the next Starlight Festival in December, the old rewards in the shop will be temporarily reduced in price.

Which mounts do you find funny or crazy? Let us know in the comments.

In August, several events are taking place in FFXIV. You can find all the info in our ticker:
