An extreme Pay2Win mechanic of Diablo Immortal is only seen when you have already paid

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 4 minutes

Since release, new Pay2Win accusations have been surfacing, and the image of Diablo Immortal has suffered greatly. However, a little-known mechanic takes it to the next level: gem resonance. MeinMMO takes a closer look at the mechanics.

The most important points at a glance:

  • With Diablo Immortal, the action-RPG series has gone mobile and celebrated a strong launch with many players.
  • However, even beforehand, testers and players were concerned: Many mechanics in the game seem to lead to an extensive Pay2Win system.
  • After the release, it became clear: Diablo Immortal gives you many ways to buy strong advantages with real money. But an extreme mechanic is only just becoming known: gem resonance.

von Cortyn

Gem resonance takes Pay2Win to a new level

What does gem resonance bring? Through this mechanic, the controversial legendary gems can be further improved and expanded. Through the merchant “Master Jeweler,” you then have access to a whole new menu that promises additional strong bonuses.

This menu only appears when you own the following items:

  • Legendary gem at rank 10
  • Legendary item at rank 6
  • Real money item “Awakening Echo”

This item combination can be “awakened.” This gives you an immediate boost to the legendary effect of the equipment item. With the shoulder equipment “Sorrow’s Spike” from the Necromancer, the awakened effect immediately provides 10% more damage on “Corpse Explosion.”

More on the topic
Legendary Gems: How to Get the Best Items in Diablo Immortal for Free
von Benedict Grothaus

The bonus is additional to the normal legendary effect and differs for each legendary item. Even before the release, the “Awakening” garnered attention. But an additional mechanic takes this to the extreme.

Because it is closely intertwined with the legendary gems. Once you have a gem at rank 10, you can insert other legendaries into this gem, unlocking extra bonuses. These bonuses correspond directly with the advantages of the gem, providing an even stronger boost for your build.

The “Awakening” brings Pay2Win and your character to a new level:

  • The resonance increases, enhancing all attributes in your build
  • The combat rating increases
  • The gem effect is enhanced
  • Additional effects by inserting gems

The awakened effect is then considered an upgrade and can be transferred to other equipment.

More information about the legendary gems can be found in our video:

Start video
Diablo Immortal: What are legendary gems? Facts and locations in 3 minutes

Extra menu only appears when you pay

How does it work? As a Free2Play player, gem resonance is theoretically attainable, aside from the item “Awakening Echo.” However, you need a lot of luck with the legendary gems or be skilled at trading platinum.

To level up the legendary gems to a new rank, you need the same gem again and gem power, which you primarily obtain by breaking down legendary gems. However, the gem does not need to have the same number of stars.

For the ?/5-star gems, which you can only obtain via legendary emblems, it becomes really expensive. You need to upgrade the gem to rank 10 again: once to rank 3 and twice to rank 5. You must also upgrade these items with gems and gem power beforehand.

More on the topic
The best legendary gem in Diablo Immortal and why everyone wants it
von Maik Schneider

Once the gem is at rank 10, it can be further upgraded via the “gem resonance” menu. For that, you need specific legendary gems that must also be at rank 5 or 10 for additional bonuses. These vary with each legendary gem.

However, you must first upgrade the gem with the item “Awakening Echo.” This costs about 15 euros and unlocks the above-mentioned menu with the Master Jeweler.

diablo immortal gem resonance jessirocks
YouTuber jessirocks shows the “hidden” Pay2Win menu. Source: YouTube

Over €1,000 for the complete package

What does it cost? Based on the probabilities that Diablo Immortal shows for legendary gems, we try to estimate the costs for a fully awakened item:

  • Find and upgrade legendary
    • No costs: €0
  • Buy Awakening Echo
    • Real money shop: about €15
  • ?/5 gem found (4.5%)
    • Around 20 legendary emblems: about €20
  • 20 ?/5 gems for upgrading
    • Around 400 legendary emblems: about €500
  • 12 ?/5 gems for gem resonance
    • Requires specific gems: estimated €500

If your luck roughly matches the given probabilities, you still need about €1000 to bring a ?/5-star to rank 10 and reach maximum resonance.

For the weaker 1-star and 2-star gems, the process is significantly cheaper. But for the ?/5-star gems, one can spend an incredible amount of money before reaching the maximum bonuses.

If you want to go after the big fish and fully commit to a 5/5-star gem, it becomes really expensive. The streamer Quin69 spent €15,000 on the game before he received the 5/5-star gem he was searching for. After that, the Twitch streamer deleted his character.

Guides to Diablo Immortal on MeinMMO:

Diablo Immortal offers a lot for Free2Play players. If you just want to play a bit of Diablo and slay demons on the go, then the action RPG provides many hours of entertainment.

However, the mobile hit also has plenty of ways to increase your power with real money. For players with high standards, the only option left is to reach for the wallet to secure those big numbers and bonuses.

Player buys a weapon that exists only once in his MMORPG for over 15,000 €

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The German MMORPG classic Tibia Online is known for things working a bit differently than in modern MMORPGs. For special occasions, the developers release items that can’t be found in the game otherwise. One such weapon is the Blessed Shield. It has now been sold for approximately 15,690 euros.

What kind of weapon is this? The Blessed Shield is one of the best weapons available in Tibia. It was handed over to the player Elleshar by the developers in 1999. Elleshar had previously helped with the graphic design for the game.

A few times, the shield was sold, until its trail was lost. There was even speculation that the shield no longer exists. However, it has now reappeared and was sold for 12 billion gold.

How much real money does that equal? In Tibia, there is the possibility to trade in-game items for Tibia Coins. These coins, in turn, can be purchased for real money.

12 billion gold corresponds to about 450,000 coins or approximately 15,690 euros. That is a lot of money for a single item. This makes it one of the most expensive items ever purchased for real money in MMOs.

Tibia 15.000 Euro
This screenshot shows the trade of the item (via YouTube).

The buyer has the Holy Trinity of rare items together

Who is the buyer? The buyer is the character Rei dos Antica. This is a druid at level 7. However, in reality, it is said to be one of the most well-known traders in Tibia Online, who likely possesses more than enough gold.

For Rei dos Antica reportedly owns not only the Blessed Shield but also two other items:

  • The Magic Longsword, which was accidentally introduced into the game and then given away in a nerfed version. The sword was sold for 5.5 million gold years ago, but its value is likely much larger now.
  • Crown, a helmet that was distributed on the Antica server in 2000. This weapon also exists only once.

In a screenshot from the house of Rei dos Antica, one can see the icons of the two items. He has thus collected something like the Holy Trinity of rare items from Tibia.

More about MMORPGs on MeinMMO:

What makes Tibia so special? The MMORPG Tibia Online was released in 1997 by the German studio CipSoft and is still very popular today. This is also due to items that tell special stories. In addition, there are always mysterious puzzles or secrets that players have not solved even after years. Moreover, there have been regular updates for 25 years.

We spoke extensively with the developers about their MMORPG in our podcast:

Blizzard’s partner postpones the release of Diablo Immortal in the crucial China – Has trouble

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In the West, Diablo Immortal has been released since June 2nd. However, in the crucial market of China, the release has now been postponed indefinitely. Blizzard’s partner there, NetEase, has co-developed the game, but is now announcing a delay due to the desire to improve the game. There are also apparent issues with the Communist Party.

This is the situation:

Release of Diablo Immortal in China is postponed at short notice

This is now the announcement. As NetEase itself announces, the release of Diablo Immortal in China was originally planned for Thursday, June 23, but is now postponed indefinitely.

On Sunday, NetEase said they wanted to make some changes, including ‘improvements to the gameplay experience’ and ‘various optimization adjustments.’

They apparently want to unlock the game for more devices and make the online experience “smoother and better.”

They are also preparing a “thank you package” with legendary gear to reward Chinese gamers for their patience (via di.blizzard).

We show you the 6 classes of Diablo Immortal – in our tier list for Diablo Immortal you can see who is currently leading:

Social media account banned 3 days before release

What could also be behind the postponement? This is not entirely clear at the moment. As the news agency Reuters reports, NetEase actually received the necessary license for the distribution of Diablo Immortal back in February 2021.

However, in recent months new regulations and rules have come into force that have resulted in no new games being approved in China for nine months. They are talking about a “freeze.”

It was already noticeable that Diablo Immortal received a license so easily: after all, the game involves killing demons and witches, themes that are problematic for Chinese games because violence and religious content are considered sensitive.

Diablo 3 already had to be significantly altered for China.

winnie-the-puh
This meme has led to Winnie the Pooh being unpopular in China.

Is a comic bear to blame for the trouble, or is it the pay-to-win issue?

This could also be problematic: The game’s social media account on Weibo was banned 3 days before the release and cannot make public postings anymore.

However, it is not entirely clear what happened. There are rumors that the Weibo account may have posted a reference to “Winnie the Pooh” (via resetera): The comic bear is considered taboo in China. He is seen as a negative reference to Communist leader Xi Jinping.

This is apparently due to a comic in which the portly and somewhat clumsy Winnie the Pooh was compared to Xi Jinping during an appearance with Barack Obama.

Other people suspect, however, that the Chinese community of Diablo has reported Diablo Immortal to the Chinese government so often for “unfair gambling elements” that it led to trouble.

Even if Diablo Immortal is not yet released in China, the game is already performing excellently:

Outriders Worldslayer in Preview Test: The expansion offers more of the same, but better

Marko Jevtic Marko Jevtic Reading time 6 minutes

On June 30, Outriders Worldslayer, the first major expansion for the brutal loot shooter, will be released. MeinMMO author Marko Jevtic had the chance to play it and had a lot of fun. However, there is a major catch.

Outriders is my favorite among all the loot shooters on the market. It feels as if it was tailor-made for my shooter taste: whether story or gameplay, this game is brutal, aggressive, and uncompromising through and through.

Not only are the abilities of each class a firework, but you truly feel as powerful as the story describes.

I have already played Outriders Worldslayer, and I was not disappointed. Everything I liked about the original game is here too. Just more of it, and better. However, there is a slight bitter aftertaste: the price of €40.

In this detailed spotlight video, you can see what the Outriders expansion has to offer:

Spotlight zur Enthüllung von Outriders Worldslayer

Outriders Worldslayer gives you more reasons to play as usual

The Worldslayer expansion aims to convince you with the following innovations:

  • The story campaign continues, with a new villain: the fearsome Commander Ereshkigal.
    • The story content is said to provide between 4 and 10 hours of gameplay, plus the new endgame.
  • The new “Apocalypse Items” give legendary and epic loot an additional mod slot, making these weapons and armor even stronger.
  • There are 2 new upgrade paths for your class:
    • In the Pax skill tree, you can invest a total of 5 points in insanely powerful class improvements.
    • The Ascension skill tree works like the Badass Ranks in Borderlands – for each level after max level 30, you can slightly improve individual stats.
  • Apocalypse Ranks are the new difficulty system that replaces the world tiers. They go up to rank 40 and can be increased with any type of content.
  • In a new endgame activity, you can work through various challenges and grind for your desired loot. The structure with branching paths leading to bosses is reminiscent of roguelites like Hades. This endgame is hardly manageable solo; it is clearly designed for 3-man teams.
  • There are many new enemy types and plenty of new loot.

The new mechanics, as explained in the game.

If you were hoping for new classes or abilities, you will unfortunately be disappointed in this expansion. Because the fundamental principle of Worldslayer is clearly for the familiar, but better.

Basically, not much is changing with the expansion in Outriders, but everything plays even smoother.

Outriders has always been a game where the incredible “power fantasy” is at the center. As a cold-blooded quasi-god in a broken world, it only matters to deal more damage than any other creature in the game.

von Tarek Zehrer

Who plays the most aggressively lives the longest thanks to self-healing from damage. This was a successful formula a year ago, and it still is. And exactly this will be pushed to the limit with the expansion, thanks to the new upgrade options in the game.

The Apocalypse Gear and the new upgrade paths sum up perfectly what you can expect from the Worldslayer expansion. You don’t really get fundamentally new toys of destruction, but can absolutely tear apart your favorites even more spectacularly.

Here, the new enemy types also deserve praise. In the first hours of play, you will face several enemies who want to make your life hell in close combat with hefty axes or knives. These villains not only visually resemble enemies from Diablo or Elden Ring, but you also have to dodge their attacks skillfully, much like in those games, to crack them.

My personal highlight in the first hours of play was therefore the mission in a dilapidated fishing village, which atmospherically reminded me of the last level from the Bloodborne DLC with its horror atmosphere and ghost stories revolving around the vengeful spirit of a fisherman.

There was nothing comparable in the base game, but it fits perfectly into the already brutal and nihilistic world of Outriders.

Worldslayer offers good content at a steep price

The innovations in Outriders Worldslayer are very good, even if they don’t even try to reinvent the wheel. Together with the “New Horizons” update, the loot grind is now more fun and effective than ever.

When I found two apocalyptic armor pieces with my Technomancer that together granted four powerful mods for my minigun, the power trip after an hour in the expansion was already bigger than in the endgame of the base game.

The developers at People Can Fly clearly understand what makes their loot shooter fun: big magazines, bigger explosions, gigantic damage numbers. If you enjoy that, you will be well satisfied with Worldslayer.

Especially in comparison to the loot shooter king Destiny 2, Outriders plays significantly faster, more aggressively, and more brutally. There is still no PvP in Worldslayer, but anyone wanting to destroy even better in PvE should still have a lot of fun with Outriders in 2022.

More on the topic:

The contents of Worldslayer seamlessly continue the story from the base game. You must have reached the endgame of Outriders to start Worldslayer. You have two options:

  • You can take your old max-level character into the new campaign and start the new campaign from your stash.
  • You can create as many new characters as you like, starting directly at level 30, and thereby immediately dive into the expansion.

This allows both newcomers and veterans to jump right in if you want. Trying out new classes will be easier than ever.

However, the price is disappointing. Worldslayer costs €39.99 as an upgrade to the base game, and both together without discounts cost about €80. For big fans or very interested newcomers, this price point might still be justifiable. But if you are not firmly convinced in advance that you want to play Worldslayer, then this expansion offers too little that is truly new to be convincing.

Pro
  • Many new content improves the base game
  • More options to perfect your builds
  • New enemies and regions are varied and fun
  • You can dive directly into the expansion
Contra
  • No new classes or abilities
  • Doesn’t really play differently
  • Relatively steep price

Outriders Worldslayer is exactly what I wished for from the expansion: the intense, aggressive gameplay of the loot shooter is further rounded and polished with new challenges, better loot, and higher stats.

As a fan, that is completely sufficient for me. Because in hardly any PvE game have I had so much fun playing the same things repeatedly, as in Outriders. Just the fact that each class heals itself through hyper-aggressive gameplay is still genius to me. Therefore, Worldslayer is exactly what it officially is: a good expansion of what I already love.

However, it is not a reinvention of the game. Outriders is still Outriders, now there is just more of it. If, like me, you loved the previous content and don’t necessarily need a new class or anything like that, you can buy it without hesitation. However, if you never fully warmed up to Outriders, you will probably find few new reasons to learn to love the game.

Especially for the comparatively steep €40 that the expansion costs, I can currently recommend Worldslayer primarily to Outriders veterans or very interested newcomers.

Marko Jevtic
Freelance writer for MeinMMO

The release of Outriders Worldslayer is on June 30. If you pre-order the expansion, you can start collecting loot on June 28.

If you haven’t played Outriders in a while, you should also know that the loot system has been drastically changed. Here’s what happened:

EA knows exactly: Some will play The Sims 4 now just because they find werewolves so sexy

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The long-running ‘Sims 4’ has a new expansion centered around werewolves. At EA, they know exactly which community this particularly delights: furries. This is a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animals – and not just in a purely scientific way.

This is what The Sims 4 is known for: The game ‘The Sims 4’ by Electronic Arts was originally released in September 2014. Because EA has a knack for squeezing the most profit out of a good idea, ‘The Sims 4’ is known for offering an absurd number of expansion packs and DLCs. The game now has after 8 years

Werewolves since ‘Twilight’ somehow differently exciting

What stood out: As the site PC Gamer writes in the article “I WooHooed an Alpha Wolf and then betrayed him in The Sims 4 Werewolves”, the expansion ‘Werewolves’ is somehow sexually charged – perhaps because werewolves have been sexualized since Twilight.

In an article on PC Gamer, the author describes how she created a female Sim and just wanted to hang out in the new neighborhood, but then ‘Kristopher Volkov’, the alpha wolf of the Moonwood Pack, started flirting with her.

The author writes: This led to a drama that could serve as a template for a teen romance.

EA plays into the “Furry Thirst” of players

What tweet is being discussed now? EA seems to be very aware of the status of “werewolves as objects of desire”. In a tweet, the Sims’ social media account was asked if the glitch that makes werewolves invisible has been fixed.

EA replied unusually suggestively:

“We can confirm that the cases of invisible werewolves have been resolved. All players will be able to satisfy their furry desires tomorrow.”

They used the term “Furry Thirst Trap” – a term from internet slang that describes a sexually charged message or image designed to elicit how much others feel attracted to the object of desire.

How is this being discussed? Normally, gaming accounts refrain from commenting on any sexual innuendos in their games. That EA is now so openly addressing this in the family-friendly The Sims 4 seems somewhat strange.

Twitter users find it quite amusing:

  • One says: “I don’t even have The Sims 4, but I find it hilarious that you just said that.”
  • Another user speculates: “I’m totally convinced that the person running this account is really a furry and a very lustful person.”

The Sims 4 has a PEGI rating of 12+. You can find harder games here:

The Ukrainian professional gamer is often referred to as the best CS:GO player in the world and has held the position of AWPer in the Natus Vincere team since 2016. In addition to his successful career as a professional gamer, he also streams on Twitch.  

Even though his team recently won the big tournament “BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022”, the pro player is in a crisis. 

The war in his home country Ukraine is weighing on the pro player. In February, s1mple issued a peace appeal to Russia on Twitter. 

The consequences of the war between Russia and Ukraine have led to problems within Natus Vincere. s1mple said: “When the war began, we were mentally destroyed” (via hltv.org).

Russians and Ukrainians successfully play together in CS:GO at Team NAVI

Who is behind Team Natus Vincere? Team Natus Vincere (lat. Born to win), short Team NAVI, is a Ukrainian professional eSports team in the CS:GO area.  

The active players include: 

  • s1mple 
  • electronic 
  • b1t
  • Perfecto
  • sdy

The team is composed of half Ukrainian and half Russian players.

Team kicks out Russian captain

This NAVI player came into focus: The Russian professional player Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhaylov had been the in-game leader (IGL) for NAVI since 2019 and was extremely successful in this role. He earned over a million US dollars in prize money at Natus Vincere.

However, the turning point in his career came in May 2022. He was removed from the roster as an active member of NAVI. The reason for his dismissal was said to be, among other things, his residence in Russia and statements made by his then-wife, who had supported the war in Russia on Instagram.

s1mple expressed his regret at the departure of Boombl4 at the time and emphasized his importance for the team’s success:

Shortly after NAVI’s dismissal, Boombl4 and his wife Anzhelika Ezieva divorced. He proposed to her on stage in November 2021 after winning a tournament.

After the separation was announced, his now ex-wife published image and video material of the pro player: She released a video showing Boombl4 allegedly consuming drugs.  

Currently, electronic replaces Boombl4 as IGL for NAVI.

– War in Ukraine: Russian troops take over Chernobyl, Great Britain decides on extensive sanctions against Russia (via nzz) 
– Vote in the Russia Crisis (via auswaertiges-amt) 

Top player s1mple is mentally exhausted: “We just lost against ourselves”

This is the situation for s1mple: At the IEM Katowice tournament, NAVI reached the semifinals but then lost to G2. In the Major Finals in Antwerp, the team was again defeated, this time by FaZe Clan.  

“We just lost against ourselves.” With these words, s1mple explains the team’s setbacks in a conversation with HLTV (via hltv).

In addition to the war in Ukraine and the rift within the team, s1mple currently has no permanent residence, which adds to his stress. Now the e-sports player is contemplating taking a break for several months and settling down quietly. Spain or Portugal are among the possibilities. 

Here you will find more articles about s1mple: 

What happens next with Team Natus Vincere? 

It remains uncertain whether s1mple will actually take a break and what the future holds for Team NAVI. After the defeats at IEM Katowice and Antwerp, things seem to be looking up with the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022. Here, NAVI was able to successfully assert itself against the competition and bring home the victory.

A success that might give the team a bit of hope again in such difficult and challenging times:

5 achievements in MMORPGs that hardly anyone has achieved because they are ridiculously difficult

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 5 minutes

Achievements play an important role in MMORPGs, whether officially awarded by the game or documented by players themselves. But which achievements are among the hardest? We at MeinMMO will reveal it to you.

What kind of achievements are these? In this list, we have gathered achievements that are difficult to obtain. These are not necessarily the rarest in the game, as rare achievements often require a lot of grinding. Especially achievements that require defeating many players in PvP are often only achieved rarely, such as Warlord of Draenor in WoW or God/Goddess of the Arena in GW2.

We have also excluded some achievements that were only available temporarily. One example is the achievement Scarab Lord from WoW, which required participation in the opening event of Ahn’Qiraj.

The achievements selected here are not only related to grinding and thus belong to the hardest achievements in their respective MMORPGs.

[toc]

The Legend – Final Fantasy XIV

What is this achievement? For this achievement, you need to defeat the boss in the raid Endless Shadows of Bahamut (fatal). This raid was introduced with patch 4.11 on October 10, 2017, and is aimed at players level 60.

How many have achieved it? So far, 6.1% of all players have completed this raid (via FFXIVCollect). However, the number has only increased slightly in recent weeks. In November 2021, prior to the release of the Endwalker expansion, only 4.8% had defeated the last boss of the raid, even though it had been available for four years.

What makes the achievement so difficult? The boss has several challenges:

  • After 14:04 minutes, the boss enters a hard enrage, making defeat almost impossible
  • The combat arena is surrounded by a wall that instantly kills players upon contact – and the boss has a knockback ability
  • There is a tornado ability that kills players instantly
  • A player at a distance is hit by an AoE they must quickly leave, otherwise they die immediately
  • There are several other abilities that players must know precisely, including a laser that must hit multiple targets, or else the targeted player dies

Additionally, the raid is an ultimate raid. You will always be scaled down to level 70 and the values from that time. This makes the Shadows of Bahamut a challenging boss even today.

Theoretically, the achievement can be bought if you find a group to carry you through the raid. However, this practice is frowned upon in the community.

You can watch a video of the boss fight here:

His True Face – Tibia Online

What is this achievement? His True Face is one of the most mysterious and enigmatic achievements in Tibia Online. For it, you must be teleported to a specific room during a quest.

How many have achieved it? This is not known. However, it took over 10 years for someone to record this achievement on video.

What makes the achievement so difficult? No one knows exactly how the achievement works. In mission three of the Blood Brothers quest, you will be teleported to another room with some luck and then receive the achievement. How one gets teleported and what the requirements are remains unknown – even though the achievement was discovered in 2010.

That an achievement is completely opaque or hard to understand is not unusual in Tibia. There are still hidden achievements that players have not solved even after decades. In March, we reported on how players solved a riddle that they had been struggling with for over 5 years.

This video from 2021 shows how the His True Face achievement works:

Enemies will soon not kill me anymore in my favorite shooter on Steam after I have already won

Mark Sellner Mark Sellner Reading time 4 minutes

For MeinMMO author Mark Sellner, Hunt: Showdown is the best shooter on Steam, and he would have preferred not to play anything else. However, a serious error in the game made him take a break from Hunt for the last six months. Now the fix for the game’s most serious problem is coming, and new excursions into the bayou are finally no longer frustrating.

It should be no secret to readers of my articles that I’ve developed a bit of a love for Hunt: Showdown. Last year, I spent over 700 hours in the shooter and encouraged you to do the same.

However, shortly after this article during the Christmas season of 2021, I haven’t touched my favorite shooter anymore.

The reason for that, however, was not the new map DeSalle or the much fewer night maps, which I still miss very much. No, the new ammunition types and nerfs to various weapons didn’t bother me. I could live with the common bugs in the game, especially since they were usually fixed pretty quickly.

But one thing drove me completely mad in almost every round of Hunt: ping abuse. Unfortunately, I don’t mean teammates who use the ping function a bit too often to mark a location. It’s more about the deliberate abuse of a poor internet connection.

This trailer provides a first insight into the game:

Start video
Hunt: Showdown Launch Trailer

Because in Hunt: Showdown, a bad ping is your ally. It annoyed me so much that I uninstalled the game, which I previously played daily, for months. I’d be happy to explain in detail why this frustrates me so much.

Who writes here? Mark Sellner is an author at MeinMMO and enjoys playing shooters along with MMORPGs. He is particularly in love with Hunt: Showdown, in which he spent over 750 hours. His KD is a solid 1.9, and more than 2,400 opposing hunters had to yield to his ambitions. His preferred weapon is the Mosin Nagant Bayonet.

I won, but I’m still dead

If you have a high ping in Hunt, meaning a bad connection to the server, it’s good for you. Because even if you’re technically no longer in the game, you can still cause damage.

This led to bad pings being abused, with players from Asia or America intentionally playing on European servers to have a worse ping in the match.

If you then play against someone with a ridiculously high ping, it often happens that you get killed by your enemies even though you’ve already won.

Just imagine an opponent coming around the corner while you’re waiting for him with a shotgun drawn. You’re playing alone against a team of two players, but your chances are good.

Then the enemy finally rushes in, you neatly shoot him with a load of shotgun shells. He goes down, you’re happy, want to keep running, and then you die too. The enemy who killed you was the one you just took out of the match.

Why does this work? He has a higher ping. His shot is sent to the server later and arrives even though the user can’t shoot anymore on the server.

Shotguns are an extreme example because a single shot is enough to kill in close combat. But also with high rate of fire weapons, not just in Hunt, bad pings lead to unwanted advantages:

von Maik Schneider

The ghost shot colleague is then comfortably picked up by his teammate and continues with his match while you are out and have lost everything you had due to the permadeath mechanic.

These so-called ping abusers became so frequent for me in early January that I ended up closing the game more often with the exit combo Alt+F4 than in a normal way. To make this clear, you can watch the following video, which shows a mild form of ping abuse.

Developers address the problem… somewhat

Now, over half a year after I left Hunt in frustration, Crytek announces that they will fix ping abuse with the upcoming update 1.9. I happily downloaded the game again and have even spent a few hours back in the bayou in recent days. However, I died again against ping abusers, which further drives my anticipation to finally return.

But how exactly the studio wants to solve the problem, they have remained silent so far. They want to assure players not to be punished for poor internet and that they should still be able to play with friends from all around the world. A commonly requested solution idea by players was simply to prohibit players from playing in other regions. Currently, they can choose and switch regions at will.

However, how they plan to stop ping abuse specifically remains uncertain if none of these functions should be restricted.

Nevertheless, not only I am relieved, but so is the community. Of course, there are other problems and bugs in the game beyond exploiting ping that are massively disruptive. For instance, weapons are unintentionally strong, buildings are unexpectedly transparent, and some players are seemingly banned unjustly.

But I have hope. Hope that I can spend time in my favorite shooter again with the new update. And even have fun. Because I would really like to recommend to you again, to definitely try out Hunt: Showdown.

More about Hunt: Showdown on MeinMMO:

What do you think of the changes? Do you think Crytek can effectively eliminate ping abuse? Have you played against such abusers yourself and then angrily quit the game? Are there other bugs that are currently disturbing as well? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO. See you soon in the bayou!

Catch Rattata in Pokémon GO – All information about its evolution, location and Shiny

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO you can now catch the new Alolan Pokémon Reißlaus. We at MeinMMO show you all the information about its evolution Tectass, the locations, and whether the monster is available as Shiny.

What kind of Pokémon is it? The small Alolan Pokémon Reißlaus made its debut in Pokémon GO with the start of the Crossover event for the trading card game. But where can you actually encounter the monster? And does it have an evolution? We have addressed the most important questions about Reißlaus and summarized them for you below.

Reißlaus – Locations, Evolution, and Shiny

What is Reißlaus as a Pokémon? Reißlaus is a Bug and Water Pokémon from the 7th generation of games. It visually resembles a silverfish with its small, scale-like, silvery body and long antennae.

With the help of 400 candies, you can evolve it into Tectass. The monster is significantly larger than Reißlaus. It stands on two legs and has large claws. But even here, the silvery, scale-like body is reflected.

Pokémon-GO-Reißlaus-Tectass
Reißlaus and Tectass

Can you catch Shiny Reißlaus? No, the shiny variant of Reißlaus is unfortunately still not in the game.

Where can you catch Reißlaus? The Alolan Pokémon can be found everywhere in the wild during the crossover event for the trading card game. You can also look for the monster in level 1 raids. Additionally, you can encounter Reißlaus in the event field research “Spin 5 PokéStops or Gyms”.

Whether and where Reißlaus will be available in the game after the event ends on June 30 at 8:00 PM local time is not yet known. As soon as we have more information on this, we will update the article accordingly.

Is it worth catching Reißlaus?

Reißlaus and Tectass are this strong: The stats of Reißlaus itself are not particularly strong; however, its evolution Tectass has a solid attack value. And its defense is also respectable.

Moreover, it features a very fast moveset with Fury Cutter and X-Scissor. Thus, it is a strong Bug attacker that competes with the best attackers in Pokémon GO. However, in the PvP league, Reißlaus and Tectass do not play a significant role.

More about Pokémon GO:

Why should you catch Reißlaus? If you’re looking for a strong Bug attacker for raids, Tectass is the right choice. However, to evolve it, you need 400 candies, so you should collect some Reißlaus.

If you’re not interested in that and prefer to rely on other strong attackers, you should still secure Reißlaus and Tectass for the PokéDex while the Pokémon is more common. Shiny hunters, however, will not get what they are looking for, at least for now.

How do you like the small Bug and Water Pokémon? Have you managed to secure a Tectass yet? Or do you not care about Reißlaus at all? Let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.

Are you looking for a strong legendary Pokémon instead? We will show you how you can get Mewtwo.

With a simple setting, you can prolong the life of your graphics card

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

You purchased a graphics card from AMD or Nvidia and want to use the GPU for as long as possible? Then make a small adjustment: It will only take you a few seconds, but it can give your hardware many months.

Anyone who buys a graphics card often invests a lot of money and wants to game with it for the next few years. With a simple setting, you can conserve your graphics card without having to compromise on performance. MeinMMO explains how it works.

Limit your FPS to conserve your expensive hardware

You probably know the situation: You’re sitting in the main menu waiting to connect to the game server. While you wait, your hardware is already working at full speed. Suddenly, in the main menu, you have thousands of frames per second (FPS).

In practice, you can start here since you can’t do much in the main menu. Some games might even show you more than 1000 FPS in-game. However, in practice, you won’t notice much of this if your monitor can’t display more than 240 Hz.

FPS indicates how many frames per second are displayed. The more frames you receive per second, the smoother the game runs in theory. 30 FPS is the magical limit. Anything below that feels choppy and unplayable for many users.

What is the problem? The higher the FPS in-game, the more stress is put on the hardware. Your graphics card has to calculate the FPS. Hardware under stress becomes loud and hot quickly.

If you let your hardware run under such stress all the time, it theoretically has negative effects. In reality, you gain nothing from these absurdly high FPS values since you won’t notice a difference when exceeding 300 FPS.

Moreover, you can only utilize high FPS numbers if you have a monitor with a refresh rate of 240 or 360 Hz. If you only have a screen with 144 Hz or even 60 Hz, you won’t benefit from your hardware running hot under stress.

In the worst case, your hardware could even be damaged, as the discussion of damaged graphics cards in the MMO New World shows. Here, Amazon Games implemented an FPS limiter as a solution.

How to limit your FPS with an AMD or Nvidia graphics card

How much should I limit my FPS? A good decision-making aid is your gaming monitor. If you have a display with a refresh rate of 144 Hz, you should set that as the limit for your FPS. Ideally, test various settings until you find one that suits your play style best.

Limiting FPS with an Nvidia graphics card: If you own an Nvidia graphics card, proceed as follows:

  • Select the NVIDIA Control Panel in Windows. Alternatively, you can right-click and choose “Nvidia Control Center.”
  • In the left menu, navigate to 3D settings and click on “Manage 3D settings.” In the new window, select “Global Settings.”
  • There you will find the option “Max. Frame Rate.” This is usually disabled. You should enable it and select your desired maximum frame rate.

Limiting FPS with an AMD graphics card: If you want to limit your FPS with an AMD graphics card, proceed as follows:

  • Open the AMD Radeon Software, either through the Windows search or by clicking on it in the taskbar on the bottom right.
  • In the software, select the small gear icon at the top right and then choose “Graphics” from the submenu.
  • Scroll down to the bottom and select “Advanced.”
  • Enable “Target Frame Rate Control.” Here you can adjust your desired maximum frame rate using a slider.

More tips regarding graphics cards: There are also other ways to give your graphics card new life. For one trick, you only need a screwdriver and some basic DIY skills. You can read how it works in the following article:

3 things you must try in Season 17 of Destiny 2 before they get nerfed

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2 there are also cool and powerful items, mods, or weapons in Season 17 that are absolute game changers and bring a lot of fun. However, especially the things that provide players in Destiny 2 a lot of enjoyment because they are very strong, could quickly land on Bungie’s nerf list. To help you enjoy the fun for as long as possible, we reveal three things that you should definitely try out right now.

The start of the current Season 17 was rocky because Solar 3.0 introduced some changes as well as several bugs into the game, which Bungie is still working on.

However, several options have now emerged in the “Season of the Haunted” that not only provide a lot of fun but are currently quite strong. Perhaps even too strong.

That’s why we are revealing our top 3 today and saying: Use them while you can!

Titan Exotic “Lorelei Splendor Helm” – The Easy Mode

loreleihelm-destiny2-season17-meta-fusionsgranaten
The Titan Exotic “Lorelei Splendor Helm” makes you nearly immortal.

Titans currently have a great time in Destiny 2 while resting in their Sunspots in the midst of enemies. But only if they own the Exotic “Lorelei Splendor Helm”.

In combination with Solar 3.0, it unfolds enormous capabilities and heals its wearer almost constantly. This makes it nearly impossible to die and significantly simplifies some activities in Destiny 2.

What makes this Exotic so strong? In short: Sunspots.

  • Cauterizing Flame: When you are critically wounded with full class ability energy or use a barricade, you create a Sunspot with improved restoration effects at your location. (via light.gg)

This makes it really hard to die in the game, even if you are surrounded by your enemies. You may not sustain in a top-tier Nightfall constantly, but the damage reduction and healing are still enormous and somehow crazy.

If you want to know how the Titan build with the Lorelei Splendor Helm is constructed, we recommend this guide:

This build gets even better when you combine it with our next tip. However, this option is also something that every other class can utilize.

The Improved Weapon Perk “Incandescent”

If you like the weapon perk “Siphon”, but you want even more and bigger explosions? Then in Season 17 you can get just that with “Incandescent”.

What makes this weapon perk so strong? The weapon perk is incredibly strong in combination with Solar 3.0 because it has perfect synergy with it. You can spread Scorch among your enemies and deal continuous damage to them. This is something that Void 3.0 cannot offer, which is why you should definitely integrate a weapon with “Incandescent” into your Solar builds.

  • Weapon Perk “Incandescent” – Defeating a target spreads Scorch to nearby targets. With more powerful enemies and hostile Guardians, Scorch spreads over a larger radius.

The perk is available for example on the 900 RPM submachine gun “Calus Mini-Tool”. You can craft this weapon in the Enclave on Mars and attach “Incandescent” as an improved weapon perk to it.

  • “Incandescent” Improved: Increases Scorch stacks from 40 to 85.
A crafted Calus Mini-Tool with Improved Perks

By the way, this is not a seasonal mod. You can still get and use this perk on weapons in Season 18 and beyond.

What makes the perk even stronger: If you want to become absolutely rage-inducing in Destiny 2, you should not only look for a weapon with “Incandescent” but also equip the weapon mod “Siphon Specification”. This combination significantly increases the initial explosion damage and explosion radius, as player Nodnahs demonstrates here:

“Incandescent” with “Siphon Specification”

The Linear Fusion Rifle “Stormchaser”

The Linear Fusion Rifle “Stormchaser” is currently considered not only a weapon insider tip in Destiny 2 from the latest dungeon “Duality”. It is also the new boss killer. Whether this was intended by Bungie remains a matter of speculation. So, now is the best time to quickly equip this monster in PvE.

“Stormchaser” – The Arc Linear Fusion Rifle from the dungeon “Duality”

What makes this weapon so strong? The weapon features an “Aggressive Frame”, which means it fires a three-shot salvo. This allows you to kill faster and deal nearly 40% more damage to a boss. By combining it with the right perks, you can counter its minor disadvantages and create a killing machine for the Power slot.

How strong “Stormchaser” is was impressively demonstrated by YouTuber and Destiny 2 player Above, who took down all raid bosses in Destiny 2 with it, commenting “Holy shit, that thing is a monster!”.

The new “monster” in Destiny 2 comes from the dungeon “Duality”

How to get the weapon: If you want to secure this new monster in Destiny 2, you need to visit the dungeon “Duality”. It can drop in both the second encounter, the “Vault”, as well as with the final boss. The second additional loot chest provides another chance.

Which perks are recommended for the power weapon? In our tests, the weapon’s recoil was sometimes a bit too strong, which is why we recommend a roll with “Arrowhead Brake”. This also provides a boost to handling.

Check out this news about Destiny 2 as well:

If you get the weapon in this roll, it hits your enemies in PvE like a truck:

  • Masterwork: Reload Speed
  • Arrowhead Brake
  • Liquid Coils
  • Clown Cartridge or Flared Magwell
  • Tap the Trigger

For optimal boss damage in the endgame, you should also have the perk “Vorpal Weapon” in reserve for Stormchaser.

Have you already discovered these things for yourselves and are actively using them, or did you not have them on your radar at all? Do you perhaps know other really strong options that might soon appear on Bungie’s nerf list? Feel free to leave us a comment about that.

Twitch streamer spends 15,000 € on Diablo Immortal, finds wonder item, permanently deletes character

The Twitch streamer Quin69 attempted to find a perfect gem in Diablo Immortal during an experiment. After spending €15,000 on boosted runs, he finally found the jewel. But the 31-year-old permanently deleted his character in Diablo Immortal and uninstalled the game. He urged his fans to do the same.

This is how it ended: Even in the same stream, Quin69 decided he had had enough of Diablo Immortal. He deleted his level 60 monk, into which he had put so much time and money, and uninstalled the game.

He stated:

“F*ck Blizzard. F*ck this dog shit game. F*ck the crap Everyone should stop playing. Delete your accounts! Let’s get out of here – I have no time for this nonsense.”

The enraged Twitch streamer, who gave the camera the middle finger, continued: Diablo 2 Resurrected can stay on his PC, Diablo 3 is already on thin ice, but Diablo Immortal has to go.

Protest through intense gaming and spending money

This is what’s behind it: Quin69 has spent 114 hours in Diablo over the past weeks – now he is turning to “The Quarry” (via gamepro).

Diablo Immortal has a unique position because it comes from Blizzard, a historically “good developer” in the PC space that has set standards for many years. Diablo itself is considered one of the cornerstones of PC gaming.

That’s why Diablo Immortal is being scrutinized so intensely.

Several Twitch streamers have already engaged intensively with the Pay2Win mechanics of Diablo Immortal, deciding to play the game intensely and invest money, hence fully capitalizing on the traffic rather than boycotting it.

Besides Quin69, Asmongold has also chosen this path: expressing his protest by spending a lot of money in Diablo Immortal.

Fortnite has one of the best stories, but unfortunately hardly anyone notices it

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite exists one of the best and most dramatic stories, yet many players in Battle Royale do not even know that it exists. Therefore, our MeinMMO author Christos Tsogos believes that the story of the BR shooter deserves a separate mode.

What story is it about? In Fortnite, players are constantly forced to battle in the Battle Bus. Chased by the relentless storm, players must win the match in Battle Royale to survive. If you win, you return to the same battlefield to fight against opponents and the storm.

This is not a coincidence or just due to the “Battle Royale” mechanic. In fact, this perpetual cycle is controlled by the power of a mysterious being in Fortnite.

You are held in a time loop by the being Geno so that it can absorb and exploit the power of the Zero Point. The Zero Point grants it the power to plunge into different realities, thus being able to subjugate everything and everyone.

But a group of freedom fighters, the Seven, has made it their mission to save every reality and free the Zero Point from Geno’s clutches.

Geno cannot enter the fight himself. Therefore, he sends his underground organization, the IO, as his representative to the front lines. They eliminate everything and everyone that could get in the way of Geno’s plan.

Yet, despite a deep story that has been ongoing for years, hardly anyone knows what is happening in the narrative. Many live events at the end of a season are celebrated, yet not everyone understands why this is happening.

Captivating story, but no one notices it in Battle Royale

In Fortnite, there has been an ongoing story since Chapter 1 that has continued through Chapter 3. Epic Games has spared no effort and has created and adapted Battle Passes and live events around the story.

However, not every player notices that behind the wild Battle Royale shooter lies a profound story. If you are in Battle Royale, there are few hints about the events happening in the background.

Why does Fortnite have one of the best stories? The story in Fortnite’s Battle Royale offers everything that the heart desires – suspense, drama, comedy, action, and a mysterious villain. Additionally, guest appearances bring laughter and unforgettable moments when characters like Spider-Man or The Rock drop by.

Despite the colorful setting, the narrative also feels dark and gripping. You want to know who is behind the time loop, how to stop it, and whether good will ultimately triumph over evil. Therefore, it is a shame that such a story is only told on the sidelines.

How can Epic Games change this? Fortnite’s Battle Royale is among the best on the market, but it is not built for storytelling. To provide players with a better platform, a new, separate mode would be an interesting solution.

A PvE mode, like Save the World. This should not focus on zombies but retell the story of Chapters 1 – 3 and relate it to the current events in the game.

Cool and diverse missions in the fight against the IO or even boss battles could keep players engaged in the long run.

As a reward, older cosmetics from the respective story phase could be offered, allowing players to chase them. Previous live events could continue to take place on the Battle Royale map.

This way, Fortnite fans can experience the story in one piece without having to scour the internet to gather and piece together story fragments. Many players would welcome this, as the story in the current BR mode often seems opaque.

What do you think of the story in Fortnite? Do you also find it a pity that Epic Games does not convey the narrative directly to you, and new players cannot experience it? Should Epic Games create a separate mode where you can experience the exciting story all at once? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

German gaming streamers from Twitch cook on TV – But ‘Celebrity Dinner’ flops pretty hard

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

On Sunday, the “Celebrity Dinner” aired on free TV on Vox featuring two well-known German gaming influencers: Twitch streamer Papaplatte and voice actress, streamer, and influencer Lara Loft. However, the show failed in the ratings – apparently, many fans of both simply don’t have a TV anymore.

What kind of show was it?

  • On Sunday, June 19, at 8:15 PM, the show Celebrity Dinner aired on Vox, which is a spin-off of the show “The Perfect Dinner”.
  • The aim of the show is to prepare a “perfect dinner”, cook well, and prove oneself as a host. The invited guests rate the host on a scale from 0 to 10.
  • Normally, the candidates cook for each other over 5 episodes – but in the Celebrity Dinner, all individual dinners are recorded and then edited together in one show.

von Noah Struthoff

Who were the guests? For the start of a new season, Vox specifically invited “the Social Media Generation”. The 4 guests were:

lara loft cyberpunk 2077
Lara Loft is one of the largest German female streamers on Twitch.

Papaplatte narrowly loses with “legendary MontanaBlack noodle casserole”

How did it turn out? The gaming streamers lost against the YouTubers:

  • MAX and Malwanne each scored 27 points and shared the victory.
  • Papaplatte landed in 3rd place with 25 points with the “legendary MontanaBlack noodle casserole” as the main dish (via YouTube).
  • Lara Loft ended up last with 24 points.

MontanaBlack presented his “noodle casserole” as a secret recipe a few years ago:

Poor ratings for Celebrity Dinner with German Twitch stars

How were the ratings? The ratings were really poor – the extremely low numbers were highlighted in a separate article by an industry magazine.

According to dwdl, only 350,000 viewers watched the show, which corresponds to a market share of just 1.6%. Even among the “younger viewers”, it only reached a market share of 3.9%.

The show was overshadowed among the 14-49-year-olds by the crime scene on ARD (21.3% market share), Suicide Squad on Pro7 (12.3%), and San Andreas (8.4%).

Apparently little overlap between Celebrity Dinner and gamers

What was the reason? Looking at the social media posts of the influencers who promoted the show reveals the issue: Many viewers of Lara Loft and Papaplatte simply don’t have a TV anymore.

Again and again, people ask where they can “watch it online”? They haven’t had a TV for years. If they watch anything at all, it’s only Netflix or Amazon Prime.

By the way, you can watch the whole show online on tvnow.

https://twitter.com/LexaEmi/status/1538589832892620802

Moreover, it seems that influencers polarize greatly: Among the regular viewers of Vox, many don’t even know who these people from the internet are or find it hard to connect with them, as indicated by the posts of people watching Celebrity Dinner, regardless of who’s cooking.

It also seems that Vox has little contact points with the influencers. There are repeated reports of astonishment about this “Social Media Generation”, as if they were strange beings from an uncharted parallel world.

Regarding Papaplatte, it was said that he is “one of the 10 largest gaming streamers in the world”. This is somewhat exaggerated: he ranks 159th in followers among all Twitch channels.

TV networks have often tried to see if what works on Twitch can also succeed on TV. So far, with rather mediocre success:

The survival MMO Conan Exiles will likely receive its biggest expansion in 2022 – revamping almost everything

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In the last few months, there has been little news about the survival game Conan Exiles, which is playable on Steam, Epic, PlayStation, and Xbox. However, a video has now surfaced showing the developers presenting a new expansion. Age of Sorcery is set to bring magic into the world of Conan and includes dozens of revisions. The release is scheduled for later in 2022.

Update June 22: The expansion has now been officially confirmed. We have replaced the video accordingly.

What’s included in the new expansion? According to the developers, Age of Sorcery and its associated patch 3.0 will be the biggest update for Conan Exiles to date. This would also surpass the Isle of Siptah expansion, which was released in 2021.

The focus here is on magic. However, it should fit into the world of Conan the Barbarian and be ‘grounded’:

  • Players choose an “Aura of Power” that allows them to use rituals and perform classic spellcasting abilities. Each Aura of Power brings different abilities and spells.
  • Spells are supposed to be “traditional” abilities that you can cast.
  • Through the rituals, you can utilize servants, mounts, and a fast travel system. However, rituals require a “Sacrificial Stone” at your base, reagents, and human sacrifices.

In addition to these spell-related contents, several revisions are also planned, including adjustments to attributes, a completely new fast travel system, and a rework of monetization.

You can view the complete announcement here:

Start video
Survival MMO Conan Exiles presents the new expansion in detail in the video

Conan Exiles plans many revisions with Age of Sorcery, including monetization

What will be changed? Almost everything. In the video, the developers present adjustments to the following contents:

  • A new attribute and perk system
  • You can now corrupt your attributes if you give in to the Void, unlocking entirely new perks
  • The building system is completely reworked. All buildings are now found in a menu, benefiting controller users
  • Traveling is supposed to become easier through a teleport system

However, one of the biggest changes concerns monetization. The game will soon receive a battle pass and an in-game store. These are designed to include purely cosmetic innovations and offer no gameplay advantages. There will also be free rewards in the battle pass.

In return, the paid DLCs are being abolished. These were previously released regularly and primarily brought cosmetics as well.

More about new MMOs and online games on MeinMMO:

When will the expansion be released? Age of Sorcery is set to be released in the third quarter of 2022. This includes the months of July to September. There is currently no exact release date.

What do you think of the new expansion? Are you excited about the announced changes?

Conan Exiles is still one of the best MMOs out there for us. It received 78% positive reviews on Steam from over 50,000 ratings. To find out which games are still on our top list, click here:

MMORPG Lost Ark kicks out over half a million ‘players’ – Shows the extent of the bot problem

Mark Sellner Mark Sellner Reading time 3 minutes

Most players should have realized by now that bots and the trading of real money in Lost Ark is a massive problem. However, Amazon is bringing out the ban hammer once again, and this time effectively. We at MeinMMO summarize.

What is the situation? In Lost Ark, bots have increasingly become a problem. They farm massive amounts of gold, which they then sell for real money to other players. This process is called RMT (Real Money Trading) and is prohibited in the MMORPG. For a long time, Amazon seemed powerless against it, as a botter on reddit even showed how he operates over 100 accounts simultaneously.

Due to the rising prices in the game, as more gold was in circulation and due to the lack of consequences, more and more players resorted to RMT and bought gold from the bots. And where there is demand, there must be more supply, which led to even more bots. Some areas of Lost Ark were hardly playable normally.

From the outside, the MMORPG did not show the problematic situation. Even on June 13, the game had 865,000 simultaneous active players on Steam, making it one of the largest genre representatives on the platform. However, how many of those were bots could only be speculated.

It is known that situations like in this video were common:

How did Amazon react? For a long time, not at all, which is why the bot plague in the game continued to grow into the biggest problem of the game. On June 15, community manager Roxx announced massive consequences in the forum. She promised the players that Amazon would address the problem in the course of the next week and ban numerous accounts.

Those affected include not only bots but also players who participated in RMT. They receive a temporary ban in some cases, but must then work off their debts.

The week of the ban wave is now coming to an end and recording huge successes. The MMORPG had to lose over half a million simultaneous active players on Steam, and as wrong as it sounds, this is the best thing that could happen to Lost Ark.

Why Lost Ark is so successful at all, you can see in our video:

Start video
The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark

“Strange, suddenly everyone wants to get rid of their accounts”

How is the ban wave affecting? Currently, the player numbers of Lost Ark show that the problem with bots and RMT was even more widespread than even pessimistic estimates suggested. In the 7-day comparison, Lost Ark fell from 865,709 simultaneous active players at peak to 268,854. Therefore, at least 600,000 accounts were temporarily banned. There is currently no overview of how many bots and accounts are generally affected from Amazon’s side.

The economy has also already seen its first minor effects. A glance at the websites of gold sellers quickly reveals that the price for gold in Lost Ark has skyrocketed. Even in the RMT forums, fear is currently reigning over the valuable accounts. This, in turn, pleases the “real” players on reddit and gives them hope.

The community breathes a sigh of relief: For a long time, many fans thought that Amazon was simply powerless against the bots and RMT. However, the massive ban wave of the past week significantly improved the mood on reddit, in the forum, and on Twitter. Many are still skeptical whether this success can be maintained and whether the bots will not simply return with new accounts, but currently, things look very good for Lost Ark.

More about Lost Ark on MeinMMO:

Numerous threads on reddit are currently dealing with the topic and are celebrating that the RMT users are probably panicking to sell their accounts before they get banned. We would also like to let you read a few quotes:

  • Nightwolf writes (via reddit): “Reading all the screenshots from the RMT forums gives me a warm feeling of schadenfreude.”
  • JnazGr writes (via reddit): “Suddenly, all RMT people want to get rid of their accounts, with supposedly family reasons, strange.”
  • Breloren writes (via reddit): “Oh sweet, sweet justice. More fear for the RMTers.”
  • KevinGFX writes (via Twitter): “Not a single bot in Rethramis on the UNA server. Good job, Lost Ark, it works. Hopefully, it stays that way, even if the fight continues.”

What do you think about the current ban wave in Lost Ark? Have you also noticed that the servers are getting emptier or that the economy on your server is slowly improving? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO, we look forward to discussing with you.

WoW: With this overview, farming mounts becomes child’s play

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Do you enjoy collecting mounts in World of Warcraft? Then this website recommendation will be your most loyal companion that you won’t want to miss.

While many players in World of Warcraft mostly find enjoyment in raids, dungeons, or PvP, there is also a large number of collecting enthusiasts who primarily gather mounts, pets, or toys.

However, with over 8 expansions, there are now so many mounts, pets, and toys that even veterans are slowly losing track. Fortunately, there is a website that can help you out and make collectors’ hearts race: Simple Armory (link to the website).

What kind of website is this? Simple Armory is, as the name suggests, a significantly simplified view of Blizzard’s official Armory. Here you select your character and then get a handy overview of which collectible items – like mounts – you already own and which ones you still lack. The mounts are categorized into different groups, such as the various expansions or individual addon features like raids or Torghast. This way, you can see at a glance which mounts or pets you already have and which ones are still missing from your collection.

A simple, small overview of all the mounts available.

Where do the data come from? To get your data and read it, Simple Armory does not require you to provide Battle.net login details or anything similar. The site simply accesses Blizzard’s official Armory, where almost all characters are stored anyway.

While there is the option to manually add more data, such as to import the list of missing toys – because the Armory from Blizzard cannot do this yet, and thus Simple Armory cannot access it either. To do this, you would need to use the interface addon “Simple Armory”.

More about World of Warcraft can be found here:

What else can the website do? One of the best features of the website is that it greatly simplifies your search for mounts. You can simply tick “Show Planner” at the top of the respective page, and you will be shown a new page. Here, it lists step by step which actions you should take in what order to farm as many missing mounts with maximum efficiency. The list even specifies which portals and routes you should use or where you need to bind your hearthstone to save as much time as possible.

Just enter your character on the site and see which animals are still missing and what you should start with.

What do you think about this website? A cool tool that can structure a collector’s day in WoW significantly?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The new Weekly Box starting June 20 in Pokémon GO is known. You will receive these 42 items this week for 1 coin in the Event Box.

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

Through data miners who work with the contents and changes of the game, it is already known what contents you will find in the box starting June 20.

1 Coin Box starting June 20 – Contents

What’s inside? In the box, you will find:

  • 20 Razz Berries
  • 10 Nanab Berries
  • 10 Silver Razz Berries
  • 2 Snorlax

The box mainly revolves around berries, which you can also obtain by spinning PokéStops and through other activities in the game. The new contents of the Weekly Box were shared by the Twitter account of PokeMiners.

When will the box be available? Around 06:00 AM on June 20, the box should be unlocked for you. If you can’t see it, it is recommended to restart the game once. After that, the package should be visible to you.

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

More about Pokémon GO

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

One week later, on June 27, there will be a new box bringing different contents. What will be inside remains to be seen.

What do you think of the contents of the 1-coin Event Box this time? Let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and tell us if you can make use of the berries and Snorlax, or which items you would prefer to have in the Weekly Box.
