The Sims 4 has been on the market since 2014 and continues to receive updates diligently. The newest expansion, “High School Years,” allows you to send your Sims through a pubescent torture. However, an update prior to the expansion is causing trouble – your Sims want to date family members.
Your Sims can now attend high school, earn a diploma, and relive the full range of embarrassing school experiences from your puberty step by step.
But it’s not just at school where things will be embarrassing. Family gatherings might also become a bit strange in the near future due to a glitch.
What is this glitch? More and more players are reporting that their Sims want family members as “girlfriend” or “boyfriend.”
The strange bug appeared after a preparatory update for the new expansion “High School Years” was installed.
Sims 4 is among the most expensive games on Steam with its many expansions. We embed the trailer for the High School Years update here:

On reddit, a Sims grandma wants to seduce her son Vernon. This is commented with “Grandma has a dark side” (via reddit.com). There are also “Game of Thrones” references with the lewd House Lannister.
At EA support, further examples can be found. Even twin sisters want to get closer (via ea.com)
A user reports to support that this bug may have been in the game since release. But now this “tendency” of some Sims is apparently also being triggered by the emotions system. Interactions are suggested that improve the mood of the Sims.
The strange bug has already been noticed by the developers and a solution is in the works (via twitter.com). In the tweet, it was also confirmed that they are working on the bug with rapidly aging Sims.
Let’s leave a funny comment on the topic or share your opinion in the comments.
A streamer on Twitch named G5_Sin reacted extremely aggressively to criticism of his methods. He displayed a gun live on Twitch and threatened another streamer that he would abduct him to New York and beat him up on the street. The threatened streamer reported G5_Sin, but heard nothing from Twitch for a month. Only after a larger streamer pushed the issue did the ban come.
What was the streamer criticized for?
G5_Sin is a small streamer on Twitch with about 40 viewers on average, who apparently uses some strange methods to grow.
It is said that G5_Sin makes “watch me, then I’ll watch you” deals with even smaller streamers, but does not necessarily stick to the deals. This is known as a “support for support” streamer.
A colleague of the streamer, JTX_Live, who also entertains about 40 viewers, has addressed and criticized this behavior in YouTube videos. He has dealt with dubious methods that some streamers use to grow – such as fake giveaways (via youtube).
Streamers can get banned on Twitch for misconduct:

The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused a lot of commotion
Streamer reacts to criticism of him with clear threats of violence
This is how G5_Sin reacted: The streamer referred to himself in a stream as a rap star and addressed the critic directly. This is reported by the site Kotaku. Videos of the incidents have now been deleted:
JTX, I’m going to beat the shit out of you so hard that your mother cries, bro. And if you don’t have a mother – you bum, I’m going to make your next of kin cry.
The streamer also said about the British streamer
I’m going to fly this motherfucker to New York City, to Manhattan. There’s no police there. I’m flying this guy to Manhattan and I’m taking him to an alley – do you think the cops care if I beat him up?
Threatened British streamer reports to Twitch – But Twitch does nothing for a month
This is how JTX reacted: He reported these streams to Twitch. The British streamer said: He actually intended to fly to the USA, but after the threats, he is more careful about whom he shares an address with.
Moreover, he did not want such behavior, simply threatening violence in response to criticism, to go unchecked on Twitch. Such behavior could frighten other users so much that they might disappear from Twitch forever, JTX believes.
This is how Twitch reacted: They did nothing for a month.
G5 was able to continue streaming for a month and explained on Twitter: He did not draw the weapon as a threat at all: One should ask much more what JTX actually did to provoke such a reaction. The video was edited in a misleading way.
Only when a larger streamer dealt with the case and critically inquired on Twitter why the streamer had not yet been banned did the Twitch ban suddenly come.
BBjess has about 640 viewers on average.

Twitch responds strongly to pressure on social media once again
This is so strange: The strange thing about this incident is that Twitch seems to respond strongly to social media pressure: If anything even remotely receives pressure on Twitter, Twitch seems to react immediately by issuing or revoking bans:
But precisely in such a serious case, where weapons are shown, Twitch seems to take an exceptionally long time to act.
This is also concerning because Twitch has already been linked to mass shootings and attacks.
But apparently for Twitch, showing a weapon is not a serious problem – while they immediately swing the ban hammer for a bit of bare lower back or – God forbid – the hint of a breast.
Big buffs and nerfs are coming to World of Warcraft. We will tell you which classes are affected and what changes are coming.
Season 4 of World of Warcraft Shadowlands is on the horizon, and some balance changes are coming with it.
Blizzard wants to adjust the different classes a bit to weaken particularly strong specializations and to support the currently weakest ones.
What is the main focus? First and foremost, Blizzard aims to eliminate some extreme cases with these changes. This means that Destruction Warlocks and Survival Hunters will lose some damage. These changes were announced weeks ago.
At the same time, Shadow Priests are to receive stronger options for situations with many enemies. Warriors should be able to withstand magical damage better, which is why “Bite the Bullet” will be significantly strengthened.
Nerfs and Buffs for Season 4 of Shadowlands
Here are the upcoming changes in detail:
Druid
Balance
The damage of Starfall has been increased by 15%.
Hunter
Survival
Raptor Strike, Mongo Bite, and Get in the Sack! deal 15% more damage.
(4) Set Bonus: The bonus damage from Firebomb has been reduced to 20% (formerly 30%).
Firebomb and all its variants deal reduced damage when hitting more than 8 targets. This change is not yet displayed in the tooltip.
Mage
Arcane
The duration of Freezing Traps has been increased to 20 seconds (formerly 15 seconds).
Monk
Windwalker
Whirling Crane Kick deals 5% less damage.
Paladin
Protection
Armor has been increased by 5%.
The block chance of Holy Shield has been increased to 20% (formerly 15%).
Priest
Shadow
Mind Blast deals 30% more damage.
Shadow Bolt deals 25% more damage.
Seething Nightmare deals 15% more damage.
Warlock
Destruction
Chaos Bolt deals 5% more damage in PvE situations.
Conflagrate deals 20% more damage.
Immolate deals 20% more damage.
Inferno deals 10% more damage in PvE situations.
(4) Set Bonus: Blasphemy no longer grants Rain of Chaos.
Warrior
Protection
Bite the Bullet absorbs 30% more damage and the maximum amount of absorption is now based on the amount of maximum health.
When will the changes go live? The adjustments will go live with the start of Season 4, on August 3, 2022. Other adjustments will come along with it.
Note that Blizzard might introduce additional changes. They particularly want to keep an eye on the performance of the Shadow Priest and possibly make more adjustments.
What do you think about the buffs and nerfs? Are they appropriate? Or is it again your class that was actually perfect that gets hit?

The big German Twitch streamer Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler wants to launch new projects that remind of the YouTube hit “7 vs. Wild” by Fritz Meinecke.
Who are the two influencers?
Trymacs is among the 5 largest German streamers on Twitch and also one of the most well-known YouTubers in the gaming sector. On YouTube, he has 2.12 million subscribers, while he receives an average of nearly 19,000 viewers on Twitch.
Fritz Meinecke is also a well-known German YouTuber, who has generated 2.04 million subscribers on his channel so far. Many streamers, like Unge, Knossi, and MontanaBlack, reacted to the survival videos of the 33-year-old, which further increased his reach.
What is 7 vs. Wild? The survival show was launched by Fritz Meinecke. He and 6 other candidates were individually dropped into the wilderness of Sweden. Each of them was allowed to take 7 items that would help them survive. Additionally, they faced a challenge each day.
Cameras captured the spectacle, emotions, and despair. The show was presented in episodes, resulting in a total of 16. No video received less than 3 million views and was a huge success. Thus, Meinecke has already announced Season 2, in which Twitch star Knossi will also participate:
Trymacs is looking for a coach for his hardcore survival projects
What did Trymacs say? He now wants to start several survival formats and make them “really hardcore”. After speaking with Fritz Meinecke, who is completely booked up, he is now looking for a survival expert.
Because Trymacs plans his projects with gamers, whom he calls “absolute noobs”, and needs someone who can coach him and his colleagues.
He wants to:
Cross the desert
Survive in the Arctic
Take a “fat” hike through the mountains in Chile
Travel through Iceland
The streamer has planned wild trips and is apparently already eager for it.

How did the community react? They are already excited and show enthusiasm. The comments come from the above-linked video.
GY OP praises: “This is what makes your channel so popular. Not just gaming, but also something different. I really appreciate it!”
AnKO-Omega says: “Correct, very good action from you guys. I’m already totally looking forward to the videos. Application has been sent out.”
Benedikt Sowada criticizes: “It’s going to be great. I just find it unfortunate that you now also want to do a survival project because it’s currently trending.”
Peter Marsch also says: “If you want to jump on the survival trend, at least wait for fairness until Season 2 of 7 vs. Wild (the real banger) is over. Then maybe you can draw even more ‘ideas’ for ‘your’ format.”
Several viewers expressed that it’s a shame that content creators now jump on various hype trains instead of coming up with something of their own. However, the majority of the comments are positive and look forward to Trymacs’ new survival project.
Diablo Immortal stays true to the series and lets you play a sort of tutorial up to level 60. Only after that does it really start and the difficulty increases. MeinMMO gives you the right tips here in the guide for leveling quickly from 1 to 60.
In the action RPG Diablo Immortal, you must go through a long leveling phase before the real endgame starts at level 60.
To get to the heavy and fun contents quickly, you will find here on MeinMMO the right tips to level up fast – if you want to. The guide is divided into 4 sections:
To become stronger, legendary gems are crucial. You can find more about that in the video:
Start video
Diablo Immortal: What are legendary gems? Facts and locations in 3 minutes
Diablo Immortal: Leveling Guide for Max Level 60
How long does the leveling phase take? You should expect at least 25 to 30 hours to reach level 60. Tends to be even more.
How do I get to level 60 quickly? In Diablo, the speed of your progress also depends on how much experience you have with the series – how pain-free you are already.
While beginners like to smash every opponent that crosses their path, veterans usually tackle only large groups of enemies or bosses in the zones. If at all. If you are still reading along with the story, the time until level 60 may easily double.
If you want to progress quickly, make it clear right away: You rush through the instances at full speed and quest texts are just a necessary evil in progress.
Always prioritize the campaign quests. They advance you the most. If you reach a point where you need a higher level for the next quest area, check the next section.
Don’t spend time on monsters or activities in the large, open zones. You might not be able to resist a treasure goblin or world boss, but otherwise, run straight to the target. Maybe even use auto-navigation.
Activate auto-loot
In the menu, you can set what kind of loot you automatically collect when you walk over it. This saves a lot of time.
Take one of the best classes for leveling
Crusader, Demon Hunter, and Barbarian are the best suited for leveling. Further down, you’ll find the appropriate skills for the 3 classes for leveling. If you don’t like your leveling class, there is now a class switch feature:
No matter which class you use – use the new ability at level 15. This is a so-called “movement ability,” which gives you a different speed boost depending on your class.
Take the best gear
In Diablo Immortal, you can transfer gear upgrades. Good gear ensures that you progress faster through the content. Don’t spend your gold with both hands, but treat yourself to equipment upgrades here and there.
When you engage in a fight or blaze through a dungeon, ensure long killstreaks. Every hit from your group on a monster extends the countdown until the killstreak expires and each killed monster in the streak gives a bonus on the experience points gained.
Keep an eye on the codex
Regularly check the notifications on the left to see if you have completed something in your codex or if a task requires you to do more than what the campaign offers. You complete many tasks during the campaign, but it’s worth going a step further here.
Use bounties and shadow faction
Always accept bounties and daily tasks. Opportunities often arise to complete these tasks “on the side.” But don’t get too distracted from the campaign – it always brings the most. The shadow faction also offers strong daily tasks.
Check the bestiary
Every now and then, take a look at the bestiary. You collect creature orbs during your adventure, and with 10 of them, you unlock a random creature in the bestiary, which gives you a nice portion of extra XP. But don’t specifically look for the orbs for leveling.
Leveling Guide: Overcoming XP Wall – Solo & Group
It often happens that you can’t play the campaign quest in a new area yet because your level isn’t sufficient. You then receive a corresponding quest, for example: “Reach level 35.”
Here you can find a separate guide for the XP walls in Diablo Immortal:
At this point, you can claim the rewards for the battle pass. They often give you a whole level per stage and quickly advance the process. Otherwise, solo and group players should go different ways:
Solo players
Avoid activities with group search, such as dungeons. Check your codex and play bounties or daily tasks for leveling. If necessary, side quests that are still pending can also be done.
Further opportunities for solo players arise from the elder portals. If you play this activity without emblems and specifically target the special enemies indicated in blue on the map, you’ll progress quickly. Once you’ve explored the portal and defeated all the enemies marked in blue, teleport back to town and start the portal again.
You can see how it works here in the English video (from 1:50 minutes):

If you have a strong group, you can go through dungeons together, gather high killstreaks, and thereby gain a lot of experience points. The best dungeon for leveling is “Forgotten Tower” – it can be entered from level 20.
Leveling Guide: The 3 best classes for leveling with skills
Crusader, Demon Hunter, and Barbarian offer you the best damage paired with strong skills to quickly eliminate many enemies at the start. Use the following abilities of the classes from level 15:
Barbarian – Level Build
Bloodbath
Whirlwind
Ancestral Hammer
Sprint
Whirlwind
Demon Hunter – Level Build
Crossbow Shot
Daring Swing
Multi Shot
Vengeance Rain
Suppressive Fire
Crusader – Level Build
Punish
Shield Charge
Strike
Quartering
Heavenly Execution

Finally, here are the activities you shouldn’t pursue in your fast leveling phase:
Elder Portals with emblems
Focus of the portals is on gear, not on experience points
Leveling in Diablo is a thing. You get to know the game in this phase, get used to the mechanics, and get an overview.
But for experienced players, this is usually tedious, and if the story doesn’t interest you, then “speeding through” is the best way to quickly reach the top activity in the endgame. This is where the game really begins.

Hunt: Showdown was released in 2018 but has since been regarded as a hidden gem among shooter fans. Now the game can excite more people than ever before. We at MeinMMO take a look at why this is.
How many players does Hunt have? More than ever before, that much is certain. On the evening of July 27, even 38,272 players played the horror shooter on Steam simultaneously. That’s even 4,000 more than the previous record in August 2021 (via steamcharts.com).
As a hidden gem, the shooter has not been for a long time now. More than twice as many simultaneous fans as New World are sneaking through the Bayou of Louisiana in Hunt. But where does the new record come from so suddenly?
The longest event so far: Part of the reason is the current Serpent Moon event. It started on July 27 and will remain in the game for 61 days. Unlike previous events, it doesn’t bring significant gameplay innovations.
A new legendary hunter that evolves the longer you play
A new leaderboard
Countless snakes
If you now think that doesn’t sound like much content for a 61-day event, you are not alone. While previous events scored with completely new weapons, a new boss, or a new map, the Serpent Moon somehow lacks the big highlight.
Here you can see the trailer for the event:
Start video

The player peak is not just about the event
Where are the players coming from? It would be too easy to say that the new event suddenly brings so many players aboard, or into the Bayou. Because if we look at the overall player numbers over the last months, the event doesn’t actually bring as much as it seems.
The real turning point for Hunt: Showdown happened back in March 2021 with the “As the crow Flies” event. At that time, Scrapbeak was introduced as the new fourth boss, and some theme-appropriate skins found their way into Hunt.
Sustained growth: While player numbers in the months from December 2020 to February 2021 reached a maximum of 15,500, Scrapbeak nearly doubled the player count to 32,288. And this peak should not diminish.
With few exceptions, Hunt usually remained around 30,000 players. The rise to 38,272 due to the current Serpent Moon is therefore not as relevant as it initially seems. Exceptions to this are the months of May and June 2022 when Hunt deviated significantly and declined sharply, which is why the event is now bringing back players who stayed away from the Bayou in the last two months.
A new legendary hunter enters the Bayou with the Serpent Moon event
Hunt: Showdown impresses, permanently
Those who play, stay: When further analyzing the player numbers, it quickly becomes clear that Hunt: Showdown has slowly but steadily grown since its release. The community is strongly attached to their game, which is immediately evident in comments on Reddit or Discord.
More often than not, you hear comments like “I’m buying the DLC now just to support the developers”. New events, Twitch streamers, and advertising are important to get new people to dive into the shooter.
But the numbers clearly show that those who are there usually stay. Although the core community of the game always has something to complain about, they remain loyal to their game and help Hunt achieve steady growth over the years that shows no signs of stopping.
Although the game is already a solid 4 years old, Hunt will continue to grow for the time being. This is also due in no small part to the currently popular extraction shooter genre, to which Hunt: Showdown belongs.
It is therefore also likely that we have not yet seen the last player peak with Serpent Moon in Hunt: Showdown.
The next big update should, according to numbering, at least be “Update 2.0”. Perhaps the long-desired crocodile boss, which players have wanted for a long time, is hiding behind it.
The best counters against Hisui-Washakwil in Pokémon GO in the guide. We show you the best attackers and movesets. So you can defeat the boss in raids.

Hisui-Washakwil and shiny Hisui-Washakwil comparison
How many trainers are needed? With the best counters at high level, you should bring at least 2 trainers. With lower levels but strong counters, you should rely on more trainers. To complete the raids quickly, groups with many participants are recommended.

On July 27, 2022, a new gameplay trailer for FIFA 23 was released. Many new features were introduced – but a curious bug is currently attracting players’ attention.
This is the bug: As the user “Raks-” pointed out and shared in the FIFA subreddit, a player in the FIFA 23 gameplay deep dive somehow stands out quite a bit.
While Bellingham in the foreground shows how “Technical Dribbling” is supposed to change the game, a player in T-Pose simply stands in the background. He holds his arms out to the side and stares blankly ahead.
You can see the exact spot in the trailer at 3:06 minutes:

“What do you think, this is obviously an intended gameplay feature”, says another (via reddit).
“Look, everyone thinks this is a “game bug”, but as a lifelong BVB fan, I tell you, this is just our defense in recent years”, jokes user cfbones (via reddit).
Additionally, user “HPfcp” (via reddit) noted another oddity. An animation of goalkeeper Alisson at 3:15 in the trailer is criticized for looking quite awkward when played slowly:

Besides these strange animations, there is also more serious criticism regarding the trailer and some gameplay elements.
The defensive behavior of the team is criticized right at the start of the trailer (via reddit). They are simply too far back, and it looks as if the penalty area is crowded with players while the space in front is ignored.
In the discussion post about the “Gameplay Pitch Notes” (via reddit), there are also concerns. While some elements are praised, such as
On the other hand, it is noted that there are again big terms like “Technical Dribbling”, “Composed Ball Striking” and similar. But whether there are really significant changes that are noticeably felt in the game, some players doubt.
Other players, however, show a positive attitude towards the gameplay (via reddit):
“Some of what they are doing is really good. There are a lot of bugs from EA and they are patching it a lot, which makes it less and less like the launch version, but you have to consider the sheer number of people playing this game, it’s hard to serve them all”, says user “KingTocco”.
In the end, only one thing remains for now: to wait. In the coming weeks, more content and details about FIFA 23 are expected to be revealed, which will provide more insight into what the game has to offer.

The new “Backbone One – PlayStation Edition” controller has been introduced on the PS Blog. What features does it offer, and what is missing compared to the PS5 controllers?
This is the controller: The “Backbone One – PlayStation Edition” clearly resembles the white DualSense of the PS5 in its exterior design. But that is not surprising – after all, it is an officially licensed product.
Accordingly, the square, triangle, circle, and X buttons are designed as they are known from the DualSense. However, in the center of the controller, where the touchpad would usually be, there is essentially nothing – just space for the iPhone.
And yes, indeed, the controller is apparently only meant for iPhones. While there is an Android-compatible Backbone controller on the official site, it is not designed in the PlayStation look.
A small trailer shows what the controller is supposed to look like in use:
Start video
Controller for iPhone with PS5 license – This is the Backbone One: PlayStation edition
What is the price of the controller? On the official website (via PlayBackbone), the controller is offered for €119.99.
What features does the controller have?
On the PlayStation Blog, Backbone CEO Maneet Khaira goes into more detail about the controller. It is supposed to not only match the PlayStation 5 well thanks to its DualSense-like design but is also compatible with accessories like the Pulse 3D headset.
A key argument of the presentation is the ability to play PS5 or PS4 games via streaming with the PS Remote App on your phone. The controller is compatible with that.
However, you need a very stable internet connection for that – otherwise, there can be unpleasant stuttering on the phone, especially in online games.
Besides the PS Remote App games, the controller is also supposed to work with games from the App Store. Examples include games like Genshin Impact, Diablo Immortal, or Call of Duty: Mobile.
Moreover, other streaming services like Google Stadia or Nvidia GeForce Now should work – they are listed on the official Backbone site.
The controller is also powered by the iPhone. You do not have to charge it – you just need to pay attention to the phone’s battery. The phone connects via Lightning port.
Additionally, features such as a recording function and button for screenshots and videos, collapsible design, and a 3.5mm headphone jack are mentioned.
Primarily, the lack of Android support is noticeable. As it stands, the controller is only compatible with iPhones.
Moreover, the controller differs quite a bit from the DualSense, even though the design is reminiscent of it. For instance, the familiar parallel stick position from PlayStation is not present, rather it has offset sticks – more like an Xbox controller. The D-pad is also not the same as on the DualSense and the PS Home button is missing.
Furthermore, the announcement does not mention any rumble functions or similar features. Especially due to the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, the DualSense sets itself apart from other controllers.
Diablo Immortal is controversial, ripped apart in tests, and the Pay2Win model is condemned. However, people are also spending a lot of money in the game. A report now shows that the controversial title has already generated over 100 million US dollars in revenue through mobile – only a major mobile adaptation of a well-known video game can top that.
Diablo Immortal needed a solid foundation after its release to avoid being blown away by the backlash from the press and many players. When it became clear that the initial impressions of the Pay2Win mechanics from the beta were confirmed, the outcry was significant.
However, this could not harm the mobile adaptation of the popular action RPG series Diablo. Diablo Immortal is a top hit for developers Blizzard and NetEase. A report from the big data site “SensorTower” now shows how intense the hit is (via sensortower.com).
100,000,000 US dollars were generated by Diablo Immortal in 8 weeks. Since the euro and dollar are almost at parity currently (July 28, 2022), this also amounts to around 100 million euros.
The discussion about Pay2Win in Diablo Immortal particularly revolves around the Legendary Gems. More about the controversial items can be found in the video:

Diablo Immortal: What are legendary gems? Facts and locations in 3 minutes
The report from SensorTower provides more insights and puts the high numbers into perspective.
First: These figures only reflect the revenue from the mobile version of Diablo Immortal on iOS and Android – purchases through the PC beta are not included. Therefore, a good chunk of revenue should still be added to the overall earnings.
Moreover, Diablo Immortal has been in 13th place of all mobile games in terms of revenue since its release. This is enough for 4th place among mobile RPGs and 2nd place among mobile MMORPGs.
The highest revenues are generated by Diablo in the USA, followed by South Korea and then Japan. 59% of the revenue came from Apple’s App Store, while 41% came from the Google Play Store.
Then SensorTower reveals another interesting fact: Diablo Immortal was able to reach the 100 million dollar threshold as quickly as only one other mobile adaptation of a well-known video game series. It is thus in 2nd place in the 100 million dollar race of major gaming brands.
In 1st place, by a wide margin, is a game we also know very well on MeinMMO: Pokémon GO. For the global release hype in 2016, the mobile adaptation of the monster hunt only needed 2 weeks to generate 100 million dollars.

In Pokémon GO the Hisui Cup has started. In the new PvP tournament, you can only use a limited selection of Pokémon. We will show you the top attackers in the Hisui Cup.
When does the Hisui Cup take place? The Hisui Cup takes place in conjunction with the current Hisui event from July 27 to August 3. You can currently select it if you are looking for new matches in PvP.
What is special about the Cup? There are certain restrictions for the Pokémon selection.
Pokémon can have a maximum of 1,500 CP.
Only Pokémon from the Hisui region and monsters with Pokédex numbers between #387 and #493 are eligible. These are the Pokémon from the Sinnoh region – the region that “Hisui” would later become.
Accordingly, only a limited number of monsters are available for your teams. We will take a closer look at which ones are the best for the Hisui Cup.
Which are the best Pokémon in the Hisui Cup?
The best monsters in the ranking: If you want to compete in the Hisui Cup, you have to do without some of the “usual suspects”. Instead, there are many other monsters that can come into play here.
For clarity, we will show you some of the favorites in the ranking here. With the help of the site “PvPoke“, PvP rankings for Pokémon GO can be created that are based on simulations of various monsters in battle.
Including the complete Hisui pool with crypto and XL monsters, the following ranking emerges.
Is there a best team? A “best” team cannot be definitively established, as it always also depends on what type of monsters your opponent uses. If they have exactly the right type distribution among their Pokémon to counter your team, you have little chance.
Therefore, it is worth building a team with a broad type distribution and covering many options. In addition, certain monsters perform best in different roles. Some are more suited for opening to draw shields, while others are better for closing the match.
Therefore, based on PvPoke, we will introduce good monsters for different roles here:
The 5 best monsters for opening – strong against shields:
The new Sniebel evolution is a strong option
Snieboss
Pachirisu
Rexblisar
Lucario
Luxtra (Crypto)
The 5 best monsters for switching:
Piondragi is among the top monsters in the Cup
Piondragi
Hisui-Baldorfish
Myriador
Lucario
Elevoltek
The 5 best monsters for closing – no shields for either:
A top attacker, even in the Hisui Cup
Elevoltek
Hisui-Lektrobal
Schlurplek
Burmadam (Sandy Cloak)
Cresselia
5 best monsters without shields when the opponent still has shields:
Bollterus can take a lot
Bollterus
Pachirisu
Gastrodon
Rexblisar
Cresselia
What you should keep in mind: If you are looking for strong options in your Pokémon collection, remember the CP limit of 1,500. Don’t power up your Pokémon too much. But they should also not be too far below the CP limit. Even a Lucario is quickly knocked out if it only has 300 CP.
In addition to the PvP league, you can currently search for various Hisui monsters in the wild. However, for Baldorfish and Sniebel, you should expect a bit more work if you want to evolve the Hisui monsters.

With the High Isle expansion, the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has gained two new companions. MeinMMO explains how you can improve your relationship with your companions Isobel and Funke.
What are the companions in ESO? Companions are NPCs that you can summon as allies in combat after unlocking them. They support you on your journeys through Tamriel.
In the companion system, you also build a relationship with your companions. They have their own character and may even leave you for a short time if you upset them often. On the other hand, a good relationship benefits you as well. It unlocks additional quest options, special abilities of the companions, and extra dialogues.
We reveal what companions Isobel and Funke like and what they don’t.
What Isobel likes in ESO
Isobel is a young up-and-coming talent among the aspiring knights. She stands for justice and order in her profession.
You should summon Isobel for the following activities, as it improves your relationship:

In New World, the big Summer Medleyfaire update is being released today, on July 28. This is the largest update since the MMORPG was released in September 2021. We at MeinMMO summarize everything for you.
What happens in New World? On July 28, the Summer Medleyfaire update will be released in New World, bringing improvements that will delight almost every type of player. It is the largest update of the MMORPG since its release.
While the patch brings numerous “Quality of Life” improvements, it also includes some real highlights. Among them is the new expedition Barnacles and Black Powder, which will only be unlocked a week after the update.
You will find the entrance to the new expedition at the Harvest Cutter Reef, where there will also be plenty of new tasks for it. Two weeks after the expedition’s release, it will then “mutate” and introduce 3 new mutations. The new expedition is the centerpiece of the big update.
What are the highlights? Aside from the expedition, everything else will be immediately available in the game after the update, including a few real highlights:
5 different musical instruments, with which you can play a total of 31 songs. These songs bring you gameplay buffs like reduced load, more gathering luck, or increased territory standing.
Guitar
Double Bass
Mandolin
Drums
Flute
A group search tool for expeditions and the mood balls have also been removed and replaced with time limits.
Wars now take place in their own instances, relieving the servers further.
You now receive more loot and can find more items when dismantling equipment.
Significantly reduced XP requirements for many professions and gathering tasks.
You can find all patch notes and more details directly at newworld.com.
All in all, New World improves for all player types, and this is being well received in the community.
A new weapon like the Thunder Rifle, which you see in the trailer, is not included this time:

Community celebrates the update and brings back old players
This is how the community reacts: In the New World subreddit, the new update is naturally one of the biggest topics lately. Several posts gathered over 100 comments, even though the subreddit was almost dead.
There, players are cheering over the new update, and even many people who had actually given up on the MMORPG announced their return to Aeternum. Especially the changes to the expeditions are being very well received. The group finder tool and the removal of the mood balls create a positive atmosphere in the threads.
But also the musical instruments, the new expedition itself, and the reduced XP costs for improving professions are hitting well with the users. Words of criticism about the summer update are hard to find.
This is what fans say: At this point, we would like to let the fans speak for themselves, as usual, so you can form your own opinion. The comments come from a reddit thread about the new update in New World.
Cripplechip says: ‘I am just trying the game again. I left shortly after the release, so it’s been a while. But I think it’s worth it.’
getZlatanized writes: ‘Since April and May, every patch has made the game so much better. I came back in May and have so much fun.’
Parvalesco says: ‘This is the patch of the year. Group finder, perk rework, summer event, new crafting, new expedition. It’s incredible.’
thekman says: ‘I haven’t played for months, but I am just installing New World and trying it again. The whole dungeon system was dumb, and I am so happy it’s gone now.’
What do you think of the update in New World? Are you also checking out the MMORPG again, or are you still playing actively? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.

In the card game Hearthstone , Blizzard has included a tough achievement, “Spicy Pretzel Mustard” – the most famous Twitch streamer for Hearthstone, Kripparian, took it as an opportunity to strike a deal. But not like many streamers with an energy drink manufacturer, rather with a mustard company.
What kind of achievement is this?
In Blizzard’s card game Hearthstone, there has been a mode “Battlegrounds” since 2019, where 8 players compete against each other until only one is left.
One of the hardest achievements you can attain in the mode is called “Spicy Pretzel Mustard” – it’s like “Spicy Pretzel Mustard” – in German, the achievement is called ‘Spezialknabbermischung’: To achieve it, you must be first in the mode and win every round. There’s also the achievement without Spicy, which only requires winning a game without conceding rounds.
As Blizzard revealed in June 2021, only 5.8% of all Hearthstone players have completed this achievement.
On reddit, a user explains: Hearthstone is played in a bar. There, there are often pretzels and with pretzels, one eats mustard. Well then.
Twitch streamer is much smaller than 6 years ago, still loves Hearthstone
Who is the most famous streamer for Hearthstone? The streamer Octavian “Kripparian” Morosan is a character of his own: Where other streamers capitalize on every hype, groaning into microphones or making a fool of themselves with loud screams, the 34-year-old has been playing Hearthstone for ages. He is known for his dry humor and calm, composed manner – of course, Kripp also complains terribly and gets “salty” when things don’t go his way in Hearthstone. That’s just part of the game.
When Hearthstone was a huge deal on Twitch – long, long ago – people often talked about Kripparian.
Nowadays, Hearthstone plays only a minor role on the streaming platform, but Kripparian remains loyal to Blizzard’s card game: With 1.5 million followers, he has built a large following.
On average, 4,300 viewers watch him today. That makes Kripp about 5 times smaller in 2022 than in 2016 when he had 21,000 viewers, but Kripparian loves Hearthstone and can’t help it.
The best WoW villain returns to Hearthstone, only to die again
“Kripp may be too salty – This pretzel spread is not”
This is now his new project: Kripparian has made a deal with a mustard manufacturer and is now selling “Kripp’s Spicy Pretzel Mustard.”
The 237ml can is available for $20.
On Amazon, we learn: “Kripparian wanted to bring you the taste of victory with a sauce that is a performance in flavor. This recipe for horseradish mustard has been inducted into the Mustard Hall of Fame in Middleton, Wisconsin. Kripp may be too salty, but this delicious pretzel spread is not.”
It is also assured that the product is vegan-friendly and the horseradish root has been trimmed, chopped, and peeled by hand.
First customers, in any case, seem enthusiastic: The product has already received 5-star ratings: “Tastes like Kripp,” says one buyer. Well then, enjoy your meal.
A similarly well-known streamer to Kripp for Hearthstone was Andrey “Reynad” Yanyuk. However, he has since become a boss himself:
Since the Hisui event, you can find and evolve the local variants of the Pokémon Hisuian Qwilfish and Hisuian Sneezel in Pokémon GO. However, there is a small click during the evolution that saves you 25,000 Stardust and even Candies. We at MeinMMO summarize.
What is new? With the new Pokémon GO event themed around the Hisui region, new variants of well-known Pokémon have also been introduced to the game. Two of them are Hisuian Qwilfish and Hisuian Sneezel.
You can even evolve both Pokémon, although the process is somewhat cumbersome. You must first take them as buddies on 10 raids or walk 7 km with them before you are allowed to evolve them. We explain how this works in a separate article.
Where can you save? You can save many Candies and Stardust, especially during the evolution of the two Pokémons. Or rather, if you do not proceed with it. If you want to utilize your Hisuian forms in PvP, a second charge move is advisable.
Unlocking this costs you 50,000 Stardust and 50 Candies for Qwilfish and Sneezel. However, during their evolutions, it costs 75,000 Stardust and 75 Candies. If you unlock this move before you evolve the Pokémon, you keep the slot and have saved a lot here.
If you want to know the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO, you can see them in our video:

Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video
Community is excited about the warning – “This is great”
What do the fans say? When the discovery on reddit regarding Pokémon GO came up, trainers were excited. Many are grateful for the tip that so many Candies can be saved, especially considering that Hisuian Sneezel cannot currently be found in the wild but only from eggs.
Every Candy counts, but the saved Stardust is a nice addition as well. However, trainers are also puzzled, as such a discount on a second move usually only occurs with baby Pokémon. Some therefore wonder if the Hisuian Pokémon are a bug that should be exploited as quickly as possible.
What do you think about it? Have you already been able to evolve one of the two Hisuian forms and are now annoyed? Or are you still walking and raiding and pleased about the helpful tip? Or are you not interested in a second move at all because you hardly play PvP? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.

What do you think of the ratings? Would you agree or would you have rated the players differently? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
The last season of World of Warcraft Shadowlands is approaching – and it’s doing some things differently. We reveal what you need to know.
With Season 4 of WoW: Shadowlands, Blizzard is launching a test balloon. There are dungeons from many different expansions, and all raids from Shadowlands gain relevance. However, many questions from players remain unanswered. What about new legendary items? Do you have to farm Torghast again? What happens to the valor points?
Blizzard has answered these questions in a lengthy forum post. We clarify the most important points for you, so you’ll be well-prepared for the start of Season 4 on August 3.
No new legendaries in Season 4
First things first: In Season 4, you don’t have to re-upgrade your legendary items. The maximum for legendary items remains at an item level of 291 in Season 4. If you already have these and don’t plan to try out other legendaries this season, you don’t have to worry about it.
If you are returning to WoW with the start of Season 4 and have trouble crafting legendary items, remember that we have a guide to legendary crafting, and you can now send cosmic flux to twinks.
A tedious grind for legendary resources is therefore not necessary if you just want to continue playing existing characters.
The two Tazavesh dungeons are the only ones from Shadowlands appearing this season.
Media at level 278 – available to everyone
There’s no need to worry about the media (“Conduits”) either. The maximum level of the media remains at 278.
Better yet, all characters can obtain an item for cosmic flux from their covenant vendor at the start of Season 4 that sets all media immediately to the maximum level of 278. In Season 3, you still had to complete certain achievements for that, but that’s no longer necessary.
For those who want to increase their media traditionally, they can do so. In the “Fated” raids, the media will drop at level 278, except for LFR. In LFR, the media level is 265.
Items from old dungeons remain powerful
In Season 4, there are a total of 8 different dungeons for the “Mythic+” content, but only 2 of them are from Shadowlands. The other 6 dungeons come from previous expansions.
This also means that there are items with quite unusual stats that were normal in previous expansions. For example, in Warlords of Draenor, there are rings that grant primary stats (Intellect, Agility, Strength), or the infamous rings from Mechagon, which could be combined to achieve special effects.
All these items will be available again in Season 4. The only exception is Azerite armor, which will not drop in the corresponding dungeons – after all, the Azerite system is disabled.
Blizzard has answered a variety of questions in the thread. If you really want all the details, you should study the post in the official WoW forum. Here are some of the remaining relevant facts:
Valor points will be reset at the start of the season
Cosmic flux will not be reset
The legendary bow Rae’shalara from Sylvanas has a higher drop chance
Many trinkets from Shadowlands will be revised and adjusted so that they compete better with the trinkets from the current dungeons
Mythic raids are available from week 1, even in cross-realm raiding
The creation catalyst continues to work and does not lose charges
Service medals of commendation will disappear and will be converted to 1,000 gold each
Socketing items from Season 3 are no longer usable and can be sold for 6,000 gold.
Sony has announced a new beta update for the PS5. Finally, it includes support for 1440p (WQHD). This is a popular resolution among gamers that many had requested for the PS5.
While the Xbox Series X supports all common resolutions like Full HD, WQHD, 4K, and 8K, Sony has lagged behind with its PS5. Until now, the PS5 has only been able to support Full HD, 4K, and 8K.
However, this will change with the upcoming update for the PS5. Sony has not only introduced some features but also WQHD resolution, which will be available with the latest update for the PS5 (via blog.playstation.de)
WQHD has become one of the most popular resolutions for gaming monitors. This is reported by GameStar in a survey about monitors. That’s why many gamers had specifically requested this from Sony for the PS5.
WQHD support fills an important gap for gaming monitors
What is WQHD? WQHD is the term for a specific display resolution and stands for “Wide Quad High Definition”. WQHD lies between Full HD and 4K and offers significantly more pixels than Full HD. More pixels also mean greater strain on the processor and graphics card.
Especially for many users who bought a new gaming monitor for their gaming setup and were already using WQHD and also own a PS5, this is likely a reason for joy. Because in the future, you can use the native resolution of your monitor and don’t have to use the smaller Full HD.
Why should one even use WQHD? 1440p looks significantly sharper and better resolved to the human eye, and the reason behind this is simple. A WQHD monitor, with its resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, offers 78% more pixels than Full HD with its 1920 x 1080 pixels.
If you currently have your PS5 connected to a WQHD monitor and are using the Full HD resolution, then you should definitely increase the resolution with the update. You will benefit tremendously without any cost to you.
If you want to know how worthwhile the difference is, you should check out the following YouTube video by “Dawid Does Tech Stuff”:

“Dawid Does Tech Stuff” shows the differences between Full HD and WQHD.
Is WQHD worth it? If you do not have a 4K TV or 4K monitor, then WQHD is definitely worthwhile for you if you are currently playing on a WQHD monitor with a PS5. If you are looking to get a new monitor, you can find the best devices in our buying guide for gaming monitors for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
More recommendations for monitors: You can read here on MeinMMO how significantly a monitor can change your everyday life. MeinMMO editor Patrick Freese explained in an article why a WQHD monitor is one of his most important purchases for his gaming setup:
The YouTuber and Twitch streamer Vyacheslav “Buster” Leontiev exchanged his skins in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for a customized BMW M5 worth about 59,000 euros through the Steam marketplace. He proudly showcased the car on YouTube.
That CS:GO skins can sometimes bring in a small fortune with a bit of luck is now well known in the gaming community. Online, the items can sometimes be sold for thousands of euros.
The YouTuber and Twitch streamer Buster took skin trading to a new level. He exchanged his items from CS:GO for a black BMW worth 59,000 euros.
Here you can see a trailer for CS:GO:

Counter Strike: Global Offensive Trailer
“Yes, yes, this is now my car. I bought it for skins from CS:GO. Cool, right?”
Who is Buster? Buster is a Russian Twitch streamer and YouTuber. On Twitch, he has 3.1 million followers and makes videos about games like Fall Guys, Mortal Kombat 11 or CS:GO (via Twitch). On YouTube, he entertains 2.72 million subscribers (via YouTube).
What is Buster’s video about? On YouTube, the video titled “The first acquisition of a car for skins in CS:GO in the world, what?” was released on July 27, 2022.
Buster in his new car
In the video description, it says in Russian: “Yes, yes, this is now my car. I bought it for skins from CS:GO. Cool, right?”
How did Buster get the car? He exchanged his skins for a BMW with another user through the Steam marketplace. In the video, you can see how Buster looked at the car, went through the CS:GO items with the user, and in the end took the black BMW.
Trade of CS: GO skins through Steam
Which skins did Buster exchange? Among the skins were some expensive items. These included:
AWP Gungnir (Factory New)
AK-47 Wild Lotus (Minimal Wear)
AWP Dragon Tale (Factory New)
AK-47 Gold Arabesque (Factory New)
There were also a few rare stickers. In total, the skins were worth about 56,000 euros.
The YouTuber hinted that he might raffle the car at an event someday.
Are loot boxes perfect revenue sources? For YouTubers and streamers, it sometimes seems very easy to make big money with CS: GO skins. However, the chance of valuable items is low, as a CS:GO player showed.
Viewers of such videos often do not realize how much money the YouTuber or streamer spent beforehand to acquire the items.
CS:GO loot boxes work similarly to gambling. The player must invest money in order to end up with a lot of luck receiving a higher winning amount than he previously spent. This can also go terribly wrong. Often, the losses at the end are greater than the earnings from the sales.
What do you think of Buster’s trade? Feel free to write it in the comments.
Zack “Asmongold” is the largest MMORPG streamer on Twitch. He became known with WoW, but he has also shown games like Final Fantasy XIV and Lost Ark. Recently, he went quiet as he took a short break. Now he returns with a message to his fans – and clears up some things.
Who is Asmongold?
Asmongold has been on Twitch since 2014 and with his over 3 million followers is the largest MMORPG streamer
He became big with World of Warcraft, but in recent years he has shown other games – resulting in trouble with his fans
In recent weeks, he has only streamed irregularly, now he returns with a message to his fans
More about Asmongold and his success story can be watched in the video:

Farewell to the legendary chaos room
This is what happened: On July 27, Asmon shocked his fans on Twitter by posting before-and-after shots of his room. For the first time in years, he cleaned up his room.

This is what the room is about: Among fans, the messy room has become a real meme. One fan even recreated the chaos in Final Fantasy XIV with great attention to detail – including the ubiquitous cups (via Reddit).
Some old videos from the years 2018 and 2019 still exist, in which Asmongold cleans his “cave” live on stream (via YouTube). However, since then, it seems he has not done much about it.
This is what the fans say: On Twitter, reactions are very positive. Many express their support and joy in the comments. They let him know that they understand and how proud they are of him.
Vtuber ironmouse cheers for Asmongold:
Space is looking good! Great work and im so happy for you! I know shit is hard sometimes. You got this! Also those weights look super heavy D:
Others cannot understand the excitement. Cleaning his room is completely normal. Some mock that the room is still dirty or even looked better before.
But it is not always laziness behind it: For people going through a tough time, even seemingly everyday tasks can become a significant challenge. And the longer one postpones it, the more unsolvable the problem can seem.
Many can probably identify with this, as the post has already received over 70,000 likes (as of July 28, 2022).
Important note:If dark thoughts plague you: You are not alone. Please seek help. For example, at the telephone counseling service at 0800/111 0 111 or the online counseling, where you can also use a chat. This is free and applies nationwide.
This is behind the cleaning action: Asmongold’s streaming schedule is currently quite irregular, his last stream was on July 15, so almost 2 weeks ago. During this time, however, the Twitch star was not idle.
On July 25, he contacted his fans via Twitter. In the post, he said his life had been spiraling out of control for almost a year. Now he is taking steps to regain control.
This likely includes saying goodbye to the chaos. He thanked everyone who had reached out to him. His message: “For the first time in a long time, I’m okay.” Apparently, something has been wrong for a while (via Twitter).
This is also supported by a tweet from July 17, in which he announced he wanted to get his sleep schedule back on track. He usually sleeps only 4 hours a day and feels sick, but still streams (via Twitter).
To the fans’ delight, Asmongold also announced that he didn’t have enough of streaming or would take a longer break. He wants to return to streaming as soon as possible.
