Overwatch 2 will be released on October 4 as a Free2Play title. As Blizzard has now clarified in a Reddit AMA, this also means the end of Overwatch 1.
In a Reddit AMA – a kind of interview with the entire Reddit community – on June 22, developers of Overwatch 2 answered fan questions. One of the most important pieces of information from this thread was the clear statement that Overwatch 1 will completely disappear, as soon as Part 2 is released on October 4 as a Free2Play title.
What do the developers say? In response to a question about the “Early Access” of the game, Director Aaron Keller explained: “When OW2 launches on October 4, it will be a replacement for the current live service.” This means that Overwatch 1 in its current form will no longer exist, but will be completely and utterly replaced by Overwatch 2. On PC, it will even run through the same file: Overwatch.exe.
For years, it was unclear what would happen to Overwatch 1
Why is this statement important? A tweet shortly after the reveal of Overwatch 2 caused years of confusion. It stated that players of Overwatch 1 and 2 will play together on the same maps. The community did not know if this meant that Overwatch 1 and 2 would be playable at the same time or if the successor would replace the original.

Now it is clear: Overwatch 1 will no longer be playable with the release of Part 2. For many players who have already been able to test the beta of the successor, this is not a problem. The changes in Part 2 are so good, that Part 1 seems “unplayable” in comparison.
Here you can see the gameplay trailer of the latest hero in Overwatch 2, Junker Queen:

There will likely not be an “Overwatch Classic”
Will Overwatch 1 come back? As the speculation that Overwatch 1 will be completely replaced has been circulating for almost 3 years, some fans hope for a kind of “Overwatch Classic” – that Overwatch will be made available as it was at launch, similar to what happened with WoW Classic.
In 2020, former Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan stated that a hypothetical Overwatch Classic “would be very costly from a technical and artistic perspective” (via Twitter). There have also been hints that Blizzard itself has not fully archived Overwatch in its old form, which means that such a restoration is unlikely to happen.
What do you think about this announcement? Do you want to continue playing Overwatch 1 or do you prefer Part 2 with all its changes? Let us know in the comments.
In Pokémon GO hints of three new legendary Pokémon have been found that are creating a lot of excitement among trainers. We at MeinMMO have looked into what these findings are and show you the community’s reactions.
This suggests that there will soon be even more new Pokémon from the 8th generation in the game. We have summarized below which ones are likely to be.
Who are the Pokéminers? The Pokéminers are a group of data miners. They regularly search the game code of Pokémon GO and try to find new upcoming content and changes. They then make this data publicly available to other players.
The predictions of the Pokéminers have been relatively reliable in the past, and much of it has indeed been implemented in the game. However, this type of data is not official information, which is why Niantic can still adjust and change this content or even decide against a release.
These are the findings on the legendary Galar Pokémon
As martycochrane shows in his current reddit post, the Pokéminers have made a new discovery in the game code. In addition to the image material for the three new Ultra Beasts and the Snorlax with cowboy hat, which are debuting at the live events surrounding the GO Fest, three more images have been discovered.
As you can see in the graphic below, these are the legendary Galar Pokémon Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.

What kind of Pokémon are these? Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are the legendary birds from the Kanto region. With the introduction of the 8th game generation, all three monsters have received an additional Galar form.
Visually, the differences are easy to spot. Particularly Zapdos has much more pronounced plumage in its Galar form than in its Kanto form. Additionally, their bodies are colored differently in the Galar region. For comparison, we have embedded an image of the three legendary birds from the Kanto region below:
Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno
The Galar monsters are not only visually different from the birds of the Kanto region but also differ in their types:
Pokémon
Kanto Form
Galar Form
Articuno
Ice Flying
Psychic Flying
Zapdos
Electric Flying
Fighting Flying
Moltres
Fire Flying
Dark Flying
“Hopefully, they will be released soon”
The trainers in the reddit community are excited about these findings. They look forward to finally being able to catch the three legendary Galar Pokémon and are already speculating on when the monsters might appear in the game (via reddit.com):
Dracarys1988: “I love all 3 Galar birds. Hopefully, they will be released soon”
ekromFPS: “Maybe the legendary Galar birds will be the most important hyper bonus unlocked after each GO Fest.”
repo_sado: “Maybe just part of the hyper bonus. The first hyper bonus was much better than the release of a new legendary.”
edwinodresseiron: “Do the shinys of the Galar birds have the colors of their Kanto counterparts? That’s cool, I didn’t know that! Also: How heavy will Galar-Moltres approximately be? I need a bunch of XL candies for my shiny-Moltres, so I’ve been waiting for it to appear in raids anyway.”
orhan94: “Moltres and Articuno will be harder since they both lose a double weakness. Zapdos might be easier since the top psychic attacker is offensively much stronger than the top rock or ice attackers, I think.”
Is a timely release plausible? In principle, it would be plausible that the Galar forms of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are indeed part of the hyper bonuses. In recent years, these bonuses have been obtainable during the global GO Fest and ultimately granted you encounters with new legendary Pokémon.
For example, Zacian and Zamazenta debuted in this context in 2021. The hyper bonus was changed in 2022 and you can now earn it piece by piece at the various events surrounding the GO Fest to enhance subsequent events. However, what specific rewards you can expect is still not known.
Thus, after reaching the hyper bonus, the GO Fest in Berlin will be enhanced for the upcoming birthday event. A release of the legendary Pokémon at the closing event of the GO Fest on August 27 would also be possible.
Whether and when it will actually happen, and you will finally be able to catch the legendary Galar birds remains to be seen. If there is new information about this, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
What do you think of the findings regarding the 3 legendary Galar birds? Do you hope that Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres will come into the game in this form soon? Or would you prefer to see other Pokémon released first? Feel free to leave your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange views with other trainers.

A raid in Wrath of the Lich King Classic will not be as easy as it used to be. Blizzard is making changes to the raids in WoW Classic.
In WoW Classic, the beta for Wrath of the Lich King has just started, but the developers have already announced that they want to make several changes. WotLK will not be exactly as you remember it. Some features, like the dungeon finder, will not be present at all. But there will also be adjustments to the raids. The first raid from WotLK will be harder than it was back then: Naxxramas.
What has been said? In the developer update for Wrath of the Lich King Classic, plans were discussed. There were some thoughts on what could be changed in WotLK Classic, such as a higher difficulty for heroic dungeons or the same loot in 10-man and 25-man raids. However, neither of these will happen. Instead, there will be an adjustment to Naxxramas. The raid will be harder.
What do the changes look like? Specific changes have not yet been mentioned, but at least the general direction has been indicated. Both the health points of the monsters in the raid are to be increased, as well as the damage they deal. In other words: fights will last a little longer and it will happen more often that a few players will meet their demise.
Why is Blizzard doing this? The answer is simple: Naxxramas was too easy back then and even significantly easier than Blizzard intended. Therefore, the difficulty is being raised. This not only makes the raid more interesting, but also stretches the time a little until the next raid tier launches with Ulduar. Literally, it is stated:
Our design intent for [Naxxramas in] 2008 was to make it a little easier than the original from 2006. But we overshot our mark and made it much easier than we planned. The slight increase in difficulty will provide for more exciting and interesting challenges […]
In fact, Naxxramas in Wrath of the Lich King was present mainly for two reasons. First, Blizzard didn’t have to create a completely new raid and could just “copy-paste” it, and second, only a fraction of players experienced Naxxramas in the original WoW before the expansion The Burning Crusade was launched.
If you’re more interested in WoW Classicthis might also interest you:
What about “No Changes”? No matter what changes are made to WoW Classic, there are always a few players who hope for a purist experience and view any change negatively.
However, Blizzard has long since deviated from this and seems to compromise from time to time, if it benefits the gameplay experience for the larger audience. The adjustments to Naxxramas appear to be one of those changes.
What do you think about Naxxramas becoming harder? A good thing? Or should Blizzard just leave balancing alone?

Lost Ark was supposed to receive the next big update in mid-June. However, this has been delayed by a few weeks. Now Amazon explains how the postponement came about. One reason was the removal of Yoz’s Crucible, a feature many players labeled as Pay2Win and protested against.
Why was the patch postponed? According to Amazon, the delay was mainly due to three reasons:
They wanted to introduce a new fortress research that will unlock at a gear score of 1,460, helping to advance additional characters in gear score quickly.
It is now certain that the big June update will be released on Thursday, June 30. One day earlier, there should be more information about the fortress research and the patch notes for the update.
For more information on the June and July patch, you can find it here:
Pay2Win content from Korea does not come to the West for now
What was behind Yoz’s Crucible? Yoz’s Crucible allows you to recycle skins that you no longer want. From this, you receive materials and can, by using Blue Crystals, roll for a new skin.
At the same time, the system introduces some epic and two legendary skins per class. The legendary skins grant you stat bonuses, thereby providing better attributes. The user birkholz calculated on reddit that this results in about 1.9% more damage.
To obtain these complete stat bonuses, you need skins from the shop and to use Blue Crystals. Ideally, you can achieve the whole set with €334, and with average luck, you require about €532. This, however, did not sit well with the players.

The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark
How is Amazon reacting now? The system around Yoz’s Crucible is already active in Korea, but it will not come to the Western world for now. However, whether it will be left out forever is unclear. However, it is mentioned in the blog post:
We want to avoid players feeling that the skins in Yoz’s Crucible are necessary for gameplay. Especially when these are associated with significant financial or in-game currency expenses.
To apologize for the delay of the update, players will receive additional gifts. One is a Mokoko skin selection chest and the other is a growth package containing the following items:
Destruction Stone Selection Bag x5 – with which one of these options can be selected from each chest:
Class 1 – Destruction Stone Fragment (Bound) x1,000
Class 2 – Destruction Stone (Bound) x1,000
Class 3 – Destruction Stone Crystal (Bound) x200
Guardian Stone Selection Bag x12 – with which one of these options can be selected from each chest:
Class 1 – Guardian Stone Fragment (Bound) x1,000
Class 2 – Guardian Stone (Bound) x1,000
Class 3 – Guardian Stone Crystal x200
Enhancement Selection Chest x10 – with which one of these options can be selected from each chest:
Class 1 – Harmony Shards Bag (L) x3
Class 2 – Life Fragment Bag (L) x3
Class 3 – Honor Fragment Bag (L) x1
The growth packages will also be available in the shop for one month.
What do you think of the removal of Yoz’s Crucible? Was the system problematic from your perspective, and was it overly dramatized? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
Amazon is currently working not only on Lost Ark but also on another online game. We have gathered everything known about it so far:
MeinMMO author Maik Schneider has been using PS Plus since the first days of the subscription service and has experienced many changes. With some concerns, he looked at the recent switch to the new system and worried about his wallet. But the best feature of the subscription for PS4 & PS5 remains: “Console Sharing.” He shows you how generous Sony is.
When we discovered this back on the PlayStation 3, up to five sharing accounts were possible. We bought all the games on CDs, which was still the norm. But for DLCs, “Sharing” was the trend – one person bought the content, and everyone else could join in.
Over time, the number of accounts suddenly dropped to three. With the switch to PS4, the system changed, and the “Primary Console” was introduced. This reduced the number to two.
I held my thumbs up until the last moment and am really relieved by how generous Sony is with the sharing of the new PS Plus subscriptions. Because you can really use everything!
More info about the new PS Plus is available in our video:

Everything you need to know about Sony’s new PS Plus model – In 2 minutes
PS Plus: Sharing of Extra and Premium contents is no problem
How does sharing work on PS4 and PS5? In the account settings on your consoles, you can set a “Primary Console.” This PS4 or PS5 can then use all games with all accounts on that console. On the PS5, this feature is now called “Console Sharing and Offline Play.”
The catch is: With your own account that purchased the content, you can also access the games on other consoles – as long as you are logged in with that account.
This also included PS Plus. On the “Primary Console,” all accounts could use the online multiplayer. Buy once, benefit twice.
PS5 settings > Users and accounts > Other > Console Sharing and Offline Play
How does it work now with PS Plus Extra / Premium? Right after I transferred the endlessly long list of over 500 Plus games from the PS Store to our game list on MeinMMO, I switched to the living room at my girlfriend’s PS5 to test the sharing features together with my console.
And what can I say: It works excellently. On the “Primary Console,” I activated two games on my account: one from PS Plus Extra for download and one from PS Plus Premium for streaming.
The account of my girlfriend, which is actually PS Plus-free, can use both games – regardless of whether the game is on the drive or coming through the streaming service. It is important that you first activate the games on the account that has PS Plus.
The streaming part is a bit strange. You have to completely start the game on the account with PS Plus. It’s not enough to quickly launch the game and exit at the streaming loading screen. Otherwise, a small lock symbol will signal that something is wrong on the game icon in the menu.
A strong feature of the PS5 in this context: When I log in with my account on the “Primary Console,” I am no longer logged out of my account on my own PS5.
This is still different on the PS4. Except for this nice quality-of-life feature, the sharing on PlayStation 4 works perfectly as well – I have tested this on both console generations.
Overall, I can supply four PlayStation consoles with PS Plus Premium, but only have to pay once – two PS5 and two PS4.
However, there is the limitation that I cannot play against myself in multiplayer with my own account. Here, only three consoles can be used because number 4 would be the second PS4 where I would have to log in as myself.
If you are now looking for information about the new PS Plus services, you will find all the details here:
Do all features of PS Plus work with sharing? There are a few restrictions. Some features can only be used with the account that actually has PS Plus activated.
Cloud storage for game saves
Share Play
Game help on PS5
The cloud storage weighs most heavily for me personally, but I don’t really mind that the feature is missing. As long as the games all work perfectly. I certainly won’t buy CDs anymore.
Feel free to leave me your opinion on the subject. You can also ask questions about sharing if there’s anything else I should test.
What do you think about spending so much money on a prop? Let us know!
Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo (27) participated in a live auction on his stream and bid over €9,000 for a prop from the movie Warcraft: The Beginning (2016), which is set in the Warcraft universe that became well-known first through three strategy games and later through the MMORPG World of Warcraft. He completely freaked out when he won the sword of King Llane.
Who is Mizkif? The Twitch streamer began his career in 2018 as a cameraman for the streamer Iceposeidon. He now has his own successful channel with 2 million followers on Twitch.
He streams a lot of “Just Chatting” content, but also plays games. His focus is mainly on Nintendo games and World of Warcraft.
This is how Mizkif got the WoW sword
Where did Mizkif buy the WoW sword? The website “Propstore Auction” offers props from well-known movies for sale. In a live auction, the sword of King Llane (played by Dominic Cooper) from Warcraft: The Beginning (2016) was auctioned off.
King Llane was the king of the kingdom of Azeroth during the war in the world of Warcraft. Image source: Wowhead
How did the auction go? Mizkif is repeatedly outbid. At one point, the streamer said he wouldn’t go higher, but he did anyway and finally won the WoW sword.
The auction begins: Mizkif’s starting bid is around €5,700
Outbid at €6,200 and €6,700
Mizkif bids €7,100
Another bidder raises to €7,600
Mizkif goes to €8,100 and claims he won’t go higher
Outbid at €8,600, Mizkif is irritated and curses the bidder
€9,000, Mizkif waits excitedly and wins the sword
How did Mizkif react to his purchase?
When the auction ended, the streamer completely freaked out. Overjoyed, Mizkif jumped up and shouted: “$500 saved! I got King Llane’s sword!”
Here on Twitch you can see the emotional reaction of the streamer:
Afterward, he explained that he had waited several hours specifically for this sword. He had set his maximum bid limit to $10,000 (approximately €9,500).
In March 2022, there was much concern in the Destiny 2 community. Unjustified copyright strikes threatened the existence of numerous YouTubers and harmed Bungie’s reputation. However, it quickly became clear that a fraudster was at work. Now Bungie has revealed the name of the suspect – and has sued him for a hefty sum.
YouTuber likely sought revenge for deletion of his own channel
Who is the alleged culprit? The perpetrator is said to be YouTuber Nicholas ‘Lord Nazo’ Minor, who wanted to take “revenge” on the developer of Destiny 2 and has publicly targeted videos on YouTube – sometimes with success.
Using fake email addresses, he pretended to be two employees of CSC. This is a copyright protection company that aims to protect Bungie’s intellectual property (such as the brand ‘Destiny’). So ‘disguised,’ he was able to harm other YouTubers in Bungie’s name.
Former friends of Nazo further revealed that he explained exactly what he was doing on Discord. He complained about how easy it was to spam fake takedown notifications.
In this video about Destiny 2, you can get a behind-the-scenes look and meet some developers at Bungie:
Start video
Destiny 2: Season of the Haunted in the Developer Insight
What are the alleged motives? As Bungie explains in the lawsuit, Lord Nazo’s motive was “revenge.” The documents describe the situation as follows:
Lord Nazo had previously uploaded “Destiny 2” music to his channel, which was then swept up by a wave of DMCA takedowns. Bungie and CSC took action against several channels.
As journalist Paul Tassi writes, this decision was highly controversial in the community at the time, but in most cases, the videos were deleted without further consequences. However, Nazo refused to take down his video, and eventually, YouTube deleted it for him.
He then uploaded new music from The Witch Queen to his YouTube channel, prompting Bungie and CSC to respond again. After a total of 23 violations, his channel was eventually deleted altogether.
As his own existence was threatened, the YouTuber sought revenge. By pretending to file such notices for Bungie, he was able to enforce 96 copyright strikes against other YouTubers and even Bungie.
This was possible because YouTube allows anyone to submit such complaints. There is no requirement to prove that the submitter of the complaint is actually the owner.
However, according to documents, Lord Nazo went a step further: he wanted to use this chaos to make it appear as if his takedowns were also part of this unjustified wave of fraud. He hoped that his channel would be restored. In a lengthy appeal to YouTube, he spoke about the situation he had orchestrated himself. His channel was not restored.
What are the consequences? Bungie was able to identify Lord Nazo by cross-referencing his YouTube and reddit accounts with his real name and IP addresses that created the fake email addresses. According to Tassi, his name also appears in a database of known cheaters.
Now Lord Nazo has been sued by Bungie for damages. The amount being discussed is 7.4 million dollars. They cite both attorney’s fees and the damage to Bungie’s reputation, as for a time, everyone believed that the copyright strikes against the community came from them.
However, it may take a long time before this trial is concluded. What happens in the meantime remains open. Recently, Bungie won another lawsuit:
Many players are likely looking for discounts now and want to see what is available in the sale. However, this also causes problems.
This is the Summer Sale disturbance: Currently, the Steam Store is accessible, but extremely slow. It can take a long time for content to load. In the Games subreddit, some players report that their wishlist cannot be accessed right now (via reddit). Other players say they couldn’t log in at all.
How long the problems will last is currently unknown. In the past, such difficulties during Steam sales usually settled shortly after the initial rush.
This not only disrupts the “shopping spree,” but also a special feature: Currently, you can complete a type of search quest during the Steam Summer Sale. So, theoretically.
What is this search quest during the Steam Summer Sale?
This is the quest: If you scroll on the main page of the store, a retro-style display shines at you among the games and game categories. It makes a clear statement with a big finger and the phrase “This way to free fun.”
If you click on it, you receive a message from a “time-traveling con artist” named Clorthax, who claims to have “stolen the 10 best games of the future” and wants to sell them on Steam. However, he doesn’t want to reveal their names but instead sends you on a search with hints.
Now you can search for the games in various categories. However, to participate in the game, you need to have a Steam account and log in.
This isn’t the first time Steam has created such a “mini-game” for the sale. In 2019, for example, there was a race that not everyone understood.
This is the current problem: Right now, solving the search is nearly impossible, as the content of the targeted categories may not load correctly. It looks like this:
Steam is currently loading very slowly or not at all for many
The hint “Rhythm makes you rich and fame has six strings. But the control can lead to the abyss” leads you to the music category, but you can’t progress here if the content doesn’t load properly.
These issues may be due to the high influx of people to the servers because of the sale. Once they are resolved, the search quest should also be solvable.
What do you think of the Steam Summer Sale and the quest? Do you have any games in mind yet? Let us know in the comments!

Diablo Immortal is receiving a lot of criticism for its Pay2Win aspects. Now, a player has found an unusual way to finance it: World of Warcraft.
This is how he did it: In the Diablo Immortal subreddit, user “daymeeuhn” (via reddit) shares that he used a total of 600,000,000 – that is, 600 million – units of WoW gold to improve his Immortal character. In the game, he calls himself “Naecabon”.
Getting that much gold in WoW is, in itself, already an impossible task, says Naecabo. It worked only because he could rely on codes from old loot cards that he had collected ages ago at Blizzard events, which had since gathered dust in a drawer.
But now the moment had come to use them: “I spent May exchanging old codes for spectral tigers and the like in-game for gold by using Discord markets,” he explains: “I never used RMT (Real Money Transactions) when it came to gold, and I had no interest in selling the gold for US dollars,” the player says.
He understands that gold can also be perceived as a currency with real cash value, but from his perspective, that is very difficult. Because selling WoW gold can lead to bans. It simply isn’t worth it. And also, selling the loot codes he describes as almost impossible based on his experience and one can easily be cheated.
After over 3 weeks of trading: “Cash whales, I’m targeting you”
The starting point was the announcement of the PC port, and over time, 600 million gold accumulated, describes “Naecabon”.
The entire WoW gold was exchanged by the player for WoW tokens. This took over three weeks.
He converted the tokens into Battle.net credit – about 15 $ per token.
This credit then flowed into Diablo Immortal.
In total, the player claims to have received 3,243 WoW tokens for his gold, which he converted, amounting to a value of 48,645 $ – or 46,236.59 €.
Diablo Immortal: What are legendary gems? Facts and locations in 3 minutes
The outcome: an extremely strong character. But why all this?
This is the reason: “I thought it would be really fun to try to create a ‘whale’ character in the game that uses WoW gold as its main source of funding. I find it funny to crush a cash whale as a ‘gold whale.'”
A “whale” typically refers to players who gain an advantage in games through very high real investments.
“My character is now a proverbial powerhouse that crushes cash streamers […] with eerie efficiency,” says the player: “There is no real reason for it, except that I want to have fun. If you see me fighting cash whales in battlegrounds, you should know that I attack them using ‘World of Warcraft’ currency as my main funding source,” he says.
He also refers to an example of streamer “JTisallbusiness,” whom he encounters in a battleground and promptly annihilates. The latter describes Naecabon as one of the currently best-equipped players (via Twitch).
If he ever has to “swipe” to remain relevant, he would weigh his options. But for now, he wants to “fight the good fight,” he says: “Cash whales, I’m targeting you.”
What do you think of the action? Do you find it good, or is it essentially the same as “normal” Pay2Win? Feel free to leave us a comment!
In February 2022, the real-time strategy game “Total War: Warhammer 3” was released on Steam. With a score of 86% on Metacritic, it is the highest-rated strategy game for PC that was newly released in 2022. In the 4 months since the release, it has only been reduced by a few percent on Steam for a short time. This will change with the Steam Summer Sale 2022, which starts this evening. A purchase at a good price might be worth it, believes MeinMMO author Schuhmann. In a few months, the game will become huge.
What kind of game is it? The “Total War” series has been recreating historical wars for 22 years and has established its own genre:
On a map, you move your armies around, recruit troops, and expand settlements – just like in a classic turn-based strategy game
In battle, however, you switch to real-time strategy and command your troops on the field, make tactical decisions, and actually fight the battles you’ve gotten yourself into
Over the years, the RPG elements in the games have grown: Commanders and heroes of an army developed character traits, could be equipped and customized
Normally, the Total War games take place in warlike times of Earth: In the Middle Ages, ancient Rome, Japan, or during the Napoleonic Wars. However, the series branch Warhammer refers to a fantasy world that also inspired “World of Warcraft”: Here, humans suddenly fight against elves, orcs, goblins, or the rat-like Skaven.
The series has built an excellent reputation since the year 2000, but over the years it had grown stale: That changed in 2016 when developer Creative Assembly gave itself more freedom, broke out of the strict historical framework, and dared to venture into the realm of myths and fantasy with Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Three Kingdoms.
Total War: Warhammer 3 is the third game in this branch after Part 1 (2016) and Part 2 (2017, which was extended for a long time).
How good is Total War: Warhammer 3? The game has received excellent 86% ratings from testers on Metacritic . It ranks almost as well as Total Warhammer II from 2017.
Testers called it the “crown jewel of the trilogy,” praising the “continuous development of the series” and the “exciting innovations to the known formula.”
With 86%, it is the best new strategy game for PC in 2022 according to Metacritic. Even the DLC “Royal Court” for Crusader Kings 3 only scored 83% – Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is at 81% (via metacritic).
Total War: Warhammer 3 still lacks the centerpiece of the game
What is the problem with the game? The problem with Total Warhammer III is a peculiarity that only becomes apparent if you know the predecessor.
Because the main campaign that Total Warhammer 3 starts with is not the mode that players want to play:
Players want to play the mega mode “Immortal Empires,” which they already know from Part 2 and which was popular there. In “Immortal Empires,” all factions from all 3 parts of the “Total War: Warhammer” series can be played on a gigantic map.
From the last part, we know: This mode gives players extreme freedom and packs many different factions and play styles into the same world. The mode offers endless variety and allows you to play with every known race from the Warhammer universe, in countless different shades.
This mode, however, will only come in the 3rd quarter of 2022. Until then, Warhammer 3 feels like just the appetizer, while the main course is still missing.
How huge will this mode be when it arrives? The dimensions of “Immortal Empires” will be even more significant compared to the already extensive mode from Total Warhammer II:
Instead of 401 settlements, there should be 554
Instead of 183 factions at the start, the number will rise to 278
Instead of 74 legendary lords, there are 86 (these are unique commanders of armies, often with their own special quests and features that can be unlocked)
As the developers announce, the number should even increase after the release of the mode over DLC and free updates (via totalwar).
Mortal Empires was a feast for all strategy gamers – Part 3 is set to be much bigger
What makes this mode so special? The diversity in the mode is enormous, as one knows from Warhammer 2.
Each race has peculiarities in its mechanics that lead to a different playstyle:
While playing as an elf, you tried to confederate other elf factions and incorporate them through diplomacy
you could run wild and plunder as an orc – opposing founding tribes were simply subjugated once you defeated their chief in battle
the Skaven undermined enemy cities and built their empire beneath the feet of their adversaries
Dwarves were constantly busy pacifying the next grudge – it is a very grumpy race
whereas a gluttonous orc focused entirely on assembling his next meal
a dark elf struggled with whether to let a demon take control of his mind
This mode in Warhammer 2 was a fulfillment for many strategy players, especially since it was expanded over the years and always brought new variations.
However, the “campaign” of Warhammer 3 feels like it restricts the player strongly and forces a specific playstyle on him that revolves around gimmicks (the realms of the Chaos gods), which can feel rather tedious in repeated playthroughs, especially when one is used to the extreme freedom of the “Mortal Empires” campaign.
The map of Immortal Empires is said to break all dimensions.
Total War: Warhammer 3 could be “properly” reduced in the Steam Summer Sale
Why should you buy the game today in the Steam Sale? Total Warhammer 3 has almost never been on sale on Steam. Only in a single week in early June, was the game available for €53.99. Otherwise, you always paid the full price of €59.99.
How cheap Total War: Warhammer 3 will be this evening is still unknown. However, it is known that the price will be reduced, and one can hope that the game will be cheaper to buy on Steam than ever before: On the shop page of Total War: Warhammer 3 on Steam, you will be able to buy the game at a reduced price later (via steam).
Although the user reviews are currently at a disappointing 57% due to the lack of the “main mode”, this should change once the new mode becomes available.
There are many indications that with the release of the mode “Immortal Empires” in the 3rd quarter of 2022, a truly monumental game is waiting for fans of strategy games.
The Twitch streamer Dan Gheesling is attempting the hardest boss in the game, Malenia, in Elden Ring, but unfortunately, it’s not going very well. After 2,000 “Game Over” screens, he then puts on a show for his viewers and loses his mind live.
Dan Gheesling is a variety streamer and has around 112,000 followers on Twitch.
Dan became known on Twitch through his friendship with popular streamer Northernlion. The two are good friends and often stream together.
Dan Gheesling is also known to the U.S. audience for other reasons as he is considered the best Big Brother contestant of all time, having won the internationally known reality show once and narrowly finished second once (via screenrant.com).
After 2,000 deaths against Malenia, the streamer complains in a ‘crazy’ way about himself
The streamer repeatedly fails against the blade of Miquella, using a very questionable build. A counter on the screen keeps track for him and his viewers of how many times he has died to her so far. When this number hits 2,000, Gheesling puts on a show for his viewers. It seems as if their streamer and the reality TV star has completely lost his mind live.
This clip has the simple title “Streamer Goes Insane”:

What do you see in the clip? With recorded “versions” of himself, he plays ‘critical voices’ that insult him live. Using altered voices, he mimics the criticism from his chat regarding his playstyle, his build, and his decisions.
“You won’t be able to defeat her without dual-wielding. Can you please dual-wield?”
“Yes, there’s no chance you’ll defeat her before the Cuphead DLC. You will still be stuck on her in 2023. You have no chance to ever defeat her.”
“You will never defeat her. Why do you keep getting hit? Just don’t get hit.”
As more and more ‘clones’ of the streamer fill the screen, the number 2,000 also grows bigger.
“He jokes about the comments, but they are also right”
What do the viewers say? On reddit, users find this action hilarious and call it the “healthiest possible reaction to 2,000 deaths against Malenia”.
Reddit user Notsldog states: “Dan is the most positive streamer I’ve seen in a long time. It’s so much fun to watch him.”
However, regarding his build, most people agree:
“I immediately thought that the chat was excessively unbearable, which it surely was, but damn it, with his build this fight is nearly impossible.”
“He jokes about the comments, but they are also right, so… what to do?”
That Dan Gheesling has so little HP is also due to a defiant reaction. His chat annoyed him so much in the early game about leveling his strength attribute that he does not want to invest points into it just on principle (via reddit).
Here you can see who the first successful streamers on Twitch were:

Twitch: Who were actually the first successful streamers?
Now he is in the mess that he is still stuck on the boss. But at least it seems to be good content: currently, Dan Gheesling is live and has 2,203 viewers (as of June 23, 2022, 5:35 PM). He still hasn’t defeated Malenia and has now reached over 2,100 attempts. So the reality TV star can also entertain well on Twitch.
Maybe he will soon learn a really strong trick to counter Malenia’s meanest attack easily:
The Twitch streamer Asmongold is known for his insights on MMORPGs like WoW, New World, or Lost Ark. Recently, he had great success with his streams on the controversial Diablo Immortal. But even though his career is going well, he hasn’t had the best luck with investments lately: The drop of many stocks on the stock exchange has caught up with him.
How much money has Asmongold lost on the stock exchange? The streamer stated in a livestream on Twitch that he lost over 150,000 $ (about 142,000 €) on the stock exchange in just one month.
In a conversation with his Twitch chat, he explains:
How many of you guys have lost money on the stock exchange – with the recession and everything? So I lost a lot … 20,000 US dollars? Nice if it were only that little! Should I really talk about how much I lost? *groans painfully* It’s over 150,000 $ in a month. It could be worse? Shit, sure, it could be worse. But I live off 2,000 $ a month, man.
Even conservative investors are facing the bad situation on the stock exchange
What is remarkable about that? There are often stories about streamers who lose huge amounts of money with risky investments:
However, Asmongold is considered a sensible investor who invests in “classic stocks” and growth industries. He holds nothing of things like “NFTs”. He thinks people have “lost their minds” when they spend thousands of US dollars to buy a picture of an ape.

But the looming recession of the world economy due to many individual problems has also hit such rather conservative investors hard in recent months:
The NASDQ 100 index has fallen by almost 30% in the last 6 months – this is an index with huge established companies like Activision Blizzard, Amazon, AMD, eBay, Kraft Heinz, Marvel, Microsoft, PayPal, or PepsiCo
The S&P 500, which includes the 500 largest publicly traded US companies, plummeted by 20.5%.
Actually safe companies like Amazon have lost 31%
Facebook has lost nearly 50% under the new Meta
Tesla is now worth 26.7% less than it was 6 months ago
Riskier currencies like Bitcoin have dropped by 56%
So it becomes clear that even “relatively conservative” investors, who actually handle their money reasonably, are not spared from incurring significant losses on investments, after a heated market cools down rapidly.

This is being discussed: Even more astonishing than the loss of money is perceived by fans that multimillionaire Asmongold lives on just two to three thousand US dollars a month, as he states.
In comments, many viewers praise the streamer for living so modestly despite his wealth and remaining grounded. Asmongold is said to be an inspiration for his fans, they say.
Interestingly, the “shameless e-girl” (self-description) Amouranth has a good hand with investments:

How much does PS Plus Premium cost? You can choose between three different subscription durations. The more months you buy, the cheaper the subscription will be for you.
With the new services, PlayStation maker Sony is bringing you a lot of gaming content. While there aren’t any brand new titles included, many older AAA games, co-op hits, and niche games are featured. With the Premium offering, there are over 200 games added.
Players on western servers of Lost Ark are disappointed that the June update has been postponed again. At the same time, they have to watch as Korean and Russian servers receive exciting updates.
Why the envy? While the western community has been disappointed for two weeks in a row, Korean servers are receiving new skins. The Legendary Skins are available in the shop and not only look cool but also buff your character. Here you can check out the skins (via exputer.com):
Whether the next class will be released as planned in July is uncertain due to the delay, but the publisher has at least adhered to the monthly milestones so far. Amazon also announced in the roadmap that the long-awaited Artist class will no longer come to the West in 2022. Thus, envy is also growing towards Russia and Japan, as the Artist is now playable there.
User rafaelsk summarized the community’s feelings on reddit within a meme:

DogOfBaskerville says: “Uff, that hurts… unfortunately quite true at the moment. But hey…lailai”
David_mtg says: “Right now, I deeply regret waiting for the western version and investing so much time. I wish I had just started with the Korean version, with a VPN or something. Hopefully, we’ll get the option for a server transfer someday.”
Ddevi_ quotes the developers: “‘You can look forward to the summer, it will be a good time for Lost Ark'”
_XIIX_ says: “The image describes my feelings quite well. If they had at least done a global release of the Artist, I wouldn’t be so sad about the whole situation now.”
Amazon is hardly reacting to the criticism. They only claim to have been “blocked” for weeks, but explain nothing in detail. The community manager Roxx commented on this in the forum but could not reassure the players, rather causing more confusion.
Instead of the update, there was a smaller patch on June 23. Additionally, Amazon has extended the login rewards by one week.
What do you think about the situation in Lost Ark? Do you think the anger towards Amazon and the envy of Korean players is justified? Do you think the update will finally be released next week? Feel free to write it in the comments here on MeinMMO!
World of Warcraft has finally announced its ninth expansion. WoW: Dragonflight is set to release in late 2022, and now all players are eagerly searching for the new dragon mount “Entwined Dreamweaver.” We show you what it looks like and how you can get it.
Which mount is being searched for? The ninth expansion of WoW is all about dragons, and so the exclusive dragon mount has also been designed. Entwined Dreamweaver is the name of the dragon and it is decorated in greenish hues. Its wings are made of green leaves held together by green-brown vines.
The green dragon is the Entwined Dreamweaver.
Its claws are made of wood and its tail has a scaly end that looks like a piece of debris. If you have always wanted a nature-themed mount, the Entwined Dreamweaver is the perfect one for you.
How do I get the mount? The mount can only be obtained through the purchased editions of WoW: Dragonflight. To secure the nature-themed mount, you must purchase at least the Heroic Edition for €69.99. The Base Edition does not include this mount.
YouTuber Krunt showcases the mount in one of his videos:

I bought the wrong edition, what now? Don’t worry if you only purchased the Base Edition for €49.99. If you realize during your Dragonflight journey that you do want the mount, you can upgrade your edition later in the in-game shop for an additional fee.
Everything important about WoW: Dragonflight can be found here:
That was the flying mount Entwined Dreamweaver, which you receive in WoW: Dragonflight if you acquire the right edition.
What do you think of the mount? Will you expand your collection and dig deeper into your pockets just to be in harmony with nature? Let us know in the comments how you feel about it and whether you have already pre-ordered.

The MMORPG Lost Ark is once again bringing a weekly update, which will disappoint some players. The big June update is once again delayed, thus shifting to the latest possible date so that it remains a June update. We from MeinMMO summarize.
Update 2:47 PM: The servers for Europe have been back online since around 1 PM. However, due to a bug, the in-game shop in both European regions will be turned off at 2:15 PM for about 30 minutes.
The in-game shop and all servers are online again. You can now play and have fun as usual.
What was announced? On Twitter and through their website, the developers of Lost Ark announced that the big June update is being postponed by another week. The patch, originally scheduled for mid-month, will now only hit the servers on June 30, thus at the latest possible time.
They want to explain the exact reasons behind this and what work the team has done in the meantime in a longer blog post later this week. Roxx said in the forum that Amazon itself is being blocked. One major point has been the fight against the bots that have plagued the game for a long time. They are working on a long-term solution for this.
What’s coming in the weekly update? This focuses on the so-called Super Express Event, which is currently running in the game. This event helps you get your characters to a higher gear score faster. Amazon is now extending this opportunity by 20 days, as the event will now stop on July 20 instead of as previously planned on June 30.
However, you must accept the event on one character and do so before June 30 to receive rewards.
Elgasia may not be coming in the June update, but you can already see the next continent in the trailer:
Start video

How long will the server be offline? As usual, the servers will go offline at 9:00 AM German time and will remain offline on June 23 for 4 hours. You can likely return to Arkesia at 1 PM.
We will keep you updated in this article when the servers are back online.

The patch notes for the weekly update on June 23 are currently only available in English. We will add the German notes as soon as they arrive.

The end date for the Super Express Event has been pushed to July 20 so that we can prepare the next Express Event. So you must complete your event missions before this date. Don’t forget that you need to designate a character for the Super Express Event before June 30 if you want to participate!
The issue with claiming rewards for the Hot Time Event has been fixed. Some players could not claim their rewards. To make up for the error, we will repeat the event from last weekend.

With the new services, PlayStation manufacturer Sony brings you plenty of game content. Although there are no brand new titles, there are many older AAA games, co-op hits, and niche games. With the premium offer, there are an additional 200 games.
You really want to buy a PS5? Today, on 23.06.2022, you have the opportunity to do so at PlayStation Direct. MeinMMO presents you with all the important information.
Yesterday afternoon, invitations were sent via email to PSN users to order a PS5 at Sony’s own store PlayStation Direct this morning, on 23.06.2022. In the past, this was followed by a public sale – and this is also the case today!
How can I order the PS5 at PlayStation Direct? Just a few minutes ago, a queue for a public sale at PlayStation Direct has been unlocked. The sale is expected to start around 14:15. If you’re among the lucky ones to access the homepage after the queue, you should land directly on the PS5 product page.
Also, it’s best to log in now with your account on the PlayStation homepage. If you’re lucky and get to the page, your order should ideally go through faster.
To complete the order, a credit card was always necessary. However, during the last sales at PlayStation Direct, payment via PayPal was finally possible as well.
When does the sale at PlayStation Direct start? Starting around 14:15 today, Thursday, you can click on the link in your invitation and order the PS5 console. As always, only one device can be ordered per customer.
No PS5? If you didn’t get a PS5, be sure to check our ticker. Here we keep you updated daily and explain how you can best get a PS5 and show you drops around the coveted console.
In Diablo Immortal, there are many names for attributes and effects, but one raises a question for many. Therefore, we will show you what resonance is, how to obtain it, and most importantly, how to increase it.
What is resonance? At the top of your inventory, you can find the value “resonance”. The yellow glowing sphere above your headgear shows you your total equipped amount.
The red circle marks the resonance symbol in your inventory
The higher your resonance, the better your equipment’s base attributes will be enhanced. The following attributes benefit from higher resonance:
Health – Your health points
Damage – Your damage per attack
High resonance increases your health points but also the damage you deal to enemies.
Everything you need to know about resonance – Location and effective increase
How do I obtain resonance? To obtain resonance, you need to socket Legendary Gems into your equipment. Only this way can you increase the base attributes of your selected armor. If you remove your Legendary Gems, you will lose your resonance points.
How can I increase my resonance? To increase your resonance, you either need to socket better gems or you can upgrade your existing ones at the jeweler. To upgrade your gems, you need either the same type of gem or gem power.
You can see how your resonance is increased during upgrading at the red mark
