How many hours does the campaign of Diablo 4 take, what is the max level, and what do we know about Paragon levels? Joe Shely from Blizzard has now commented on these topics.
Where does the information come from? The Director of Diablo 4, Joe Shely, spoke in an interview with Gamespot about the length of the campaign and endgame content. Just recently, Blizzard showcased more information about the game during the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase.
It is now clear how many hours you should roughly plan for playing through the story and at what level you will hit the cap.
How many hours does the campaign take?
This is what Shely says: In general, the Director spoke about the many freedoms players will have in Diablo IV. You can travel to various points in the world and choose what to do there. If you want to follow the campaign, you should plan about 35 hours for it.
“This is a 35-hour experience that is filled with stories and characters that are truly human and can be connected with on an emotional level. We have really worked hard on the campaign of Diablo 4 and are very proud of how it has developed,” explains Shely.
After completing the campaign, you should have reached around level 45.

How long do stories take in other Diablo games? In Diablo 3, you need about 20 hours to play through the story once. In Diablo 2, it is similarly long. Keep in mind that these hour estimates are based on starting as a new player who does not know the quests yet. An experienced player in Diablo 3 can complete the story in significantly fewer hours.
The level cap in Diablo 4 is level 100. Blizzard also confirmed this in the mentioned interview with Gamespot.
After reaching the maximum level, you unlock various endgame content. This includes the Nightmare Dungeons and also the new Bounty system “Tree of Whispers”. Additionally, there are the known World Difficulties, which allow you to adjust the environment to suit the strength of your character.

The Paragon System
This is known: In the interview, Shely also talks about the Paragon system. Players are already familiar with it from Diablo 3 and Diablo Immortal. However, the system in D4 differs significantly from that of D3. While in the older title you could simply allocate points to various aspects like critical hit chance, attack speed, vitality, or movement speed, the new system is somewhat like a chessboard – The Paragon Board.
The Paragon Board promises complexity for Diablo 4.
“Imagine it like a chessboard. It’s much more detailed than that, but for simplicity, let’s say a chessboard. And you have to find your way by unlocking squares as you move across the board. Each of the fields could grant +5 strength, another ability, or something else that improves your skills. And you can click these different boards together and carve your own path.”
Another difference in the Paragon Board of Diablo 4 is that the system is limited. This is meant to encourage players to distribute their Paragon points more intentionally and not to become infinitely powerful through grinding.
Do you really have to spend a lot of money in Diablo Immortal to be the best? 2 clans on a US server want to find out and are planning a showdown at the most important endgame event of the game.
Here’s what the showdown is about: Player War10ckGaming shared on reddit the plan of his clan to fight for server dominance. He is part of a guild of ambitious Free2Play players on a US server.
Their biggest opponents are a clan founded by a so-called “whale,” consisting of players who spend a lot of money on Diablo Immortal. The clans’ plan is now to determine who is truly better in the Rite of Exile.
What kind of event is this? In the Rite of Exile, the best players of a server fight against each other. The rite begins when shadow clans have completed a specific number of tasks. The game’s trailer already shows what this looks like:

In several rounds, it will be decided which of the clans has the right to fight for dominance. They will then challenge the current immortals. If they succeed in victory, new immortals will be crowned – basically the “rulers” of the server with certain advantages.
The event takes place this Sunday, June 19, on the respective server for the first time. The guilds are also fighting for the very first dominance ever. You can read more about it in our guide to shadows and immortals in Diablo Immortal.
Pay2Win clan pays “$10,000 per player”
How do the Free2Play players plan to win? The leader of the “Pay2Win” clan assured War10ckGaming that no one in his clan has paid less than $10,000 (about €9,500). Allegedly, he even kicked out everyone who didn’t pay enough.
Currently, the clan of War10ckGaming plans to provide their guild leader with platinum so that he can purchase some of the best legendary gems without them having to spend real money. The video provides more information about the gems:

War10ckGaming sounds quite confident. He says that while his guild is already defeating more powerful opponents in the Reliquary of Hell, the “Pay2Win” players are still busy clearing out AFK farm spots in the open world.
In PvP, resonance is an important factor that makes players stronger. This can be increased through good legendary gems, which can be obtained significantly faster through money. Accordingly, the “Pay2Win” clan theoretically has a significant advantage.
However, there has never been such a large showdown where only paying players faced off against only strong players with Free2Play accounts. It may be that skill ultimately prevails. At least that was also the developers’ promise:

Dead by Daylight is celebrating its 6th anniversary with plenty of rewards. We’ll show you how to unlock all bonuses.
A new in-game event is currently taking place in Dead by Daylight, the “Twisted Masquerade.” Here, Killers and Survivors can earn a variety of new cosmetic rewards, as well as new mission objectives and a ton of blood points for free. Those who do not take advantage of the time now have only themselves to blame.
Simply logging in for the first time during the event rewards every account with a whopping 600,000 blood points.
How do you unlock the masks? There are a total of 12 individual masks to earn for various characters. The way to obtain them is essentially the same, but there are slight differences between Survivors and Killers.

During the event, small pedestals spawn on each map, changing their location after a while. Whenever this happens, a special sound plays. Killers or Survivors can interact with the pedestal to receive an invitation to the masquerade ball. Once you’ve received it, that’s already the first requirement. Depending on your role, you then need to:
As a Killer, you must end the match. It doesn’t matter how many kills you earn.
As a Survivor, you need to survive until an escape route is opened. This can be the gate or the hatch. You do not need to escape; simply surviving until an escape route opens is enough.
But: if you are hanging on the hook at the moment the gate opens and die there, or you are already in the process of being murdered by the Killer, that does not count, and you will need to try again in the next round.
Which characters can get masks? There are a total of 12 different masks for the following characters:
Trapper (Killer)
Huntress (Killer)
Trickster (Killer)
Artist (Killer)
Deathslinger (Killer)
Spirit (Killer)
Ace (Survivor)
Yui (Survivor)
Dwight (Survivor)
Jane (Survivor)
Elodie (Survivor)
Mikaela (Survivor)
The mask you unlock is completely random. There is no correlation between the character played and the unlocked mask.
You can unlock all masks as a Killer or Survivor – or mix and match at will.
More cosmetics for new characters: Along with the masks, there are also new cosmetic rewards for the two freshest characters: the Killer Dredge and Haddie Kaur. Both can earn an exclusive cosmetic set in the temporary Tome. To do this, various challenges must be completed.
How long does the event last? A total of 2 weeks, from June 16 to June 30, 2022. The earlier you start with the tasks and unlocking the masks, the more relaxed you can simply farm blood points at the end of the event.
What else is there? In addition to the masks, there are also daily rewards just for logging in. Throughout the duration of the entire event, you can secure the following resources through daily login:
900,000 blood points
4,500 Shimmering Shards
35 Rift Fragments
Aside from that, most DLCs are currently discounted in price. So if you want to add one or more Killers to your collection, now is the time to act, as most chapters are currently available for around 4 euros.
Have you checked out the event and earned the masks yet? Or do you not find these rewards appealing?

The weekly update starts today, June 16, and grants you free items in the MMORPG Lost Ark. However, the update primarily postpones the Vykas release by another week.
Update 8:43 PM: On Twitter, Lost Ark announced that they are removing an item from the shop. This item is the Punika Growth Support Pack. This item was likely unintentionally patched into the game even though it is not yet finished. However, another server downtime is not necessary (via playlostark).
What happened this week in Lost Ark? The weekly update is focused on free items this week. For example, the “Wild Wings” event has been extended by a week, and the login rewards are now available for 5 days longer. However, this is probably in the context that the June update is a week late.
Normally, the major monthly updates are released at the end of the login rewards in Lost Ark. However, these have now been extended by a week, which suggests to most fans that the big June update is set for next week.
The update brings the new Legion raid Vykas as a challenge for players in the high gear score range, new login rewards, and probably also a new event. However, we will likely receive the exact patch notes only next week.
How long will the server status be offline? As usual, the servers go offline at 9:00 AM German time and are expected to remain offline for approximately 4 hours this week. We will keep an eye on Lost Ark for you and let you know as soon as the servers are back online and you can play.
Update 12:05 PM: The servers are back online almost an hour earlier than planned. We wish you good loot!
Inthis video, you can see why Lost Ark is so successful:

The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark
How is the update received? The rewards themselves are well received by the fans, but they also criticize the postponement of the June patch. This was originally announced for mid-June, and for some fans of the MMORPG, June 23 is definitely no longer mid-month.
Overall, the weekly update seems to be well received, and players are happy about even more free rewards that they just have to log in to claim.
An additional track has been added for 5 days with new login rewards. In addition to the new rewards, you can still earn the rewards from the previous month. This gives players who had issues with delays a bit more time to get their goodies.
The end date of the “Wild Wings Island” event has been extended by a week, as well as the date on which the related reward items will become invalid.
What do you think of the update this week? Were you looking forward to Vykas, or did you already expect the postponement? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
Although a new champion named Bel’Veth was released just a few days ago in League of Legends, all eyes are already on the next hero. According to Riot Games, this one is supposed to be a “non-traditional AD Carry.” A leak now gives a closer look at Nilah and her abilities.
As early as April, YouTuber Ryscu reported on an AD Carry that will be a kind of “water Yasuo with short range” (via YouTube).
Since June 14, there have been numerous tweets and messages sharing the skill set and a concept art of Nilah, the presumably new champion. The descriptions from Ryscu match, as does the statement that she will be an unusual AD Carry.
However, as with all leaks, it is important to note that the information has not yet been officially confirmed and that even correct information can change until the full release.
What abilities is the new champion supposed to have? Nilah is expected to be a ranged fighter with short range. She can attack from a distance of 400, which is roughly the range of Urgot and slightly less than that of Graves (425). For comparison: Classic AD Carries generally have ranges of 525 (Jinx, Kai’Sa, Kalista) to 650 (Caitlyn and Aphelios).
Nilah’s attack speed is expected to be low, but her passive allows it to increase with each hit (up to 6 stacks). Additional hits beyond the 6 stacks will then deal bonus damage.
Her “Q” is expected to be a short dash, after which she will hit twice with her next attack. The damage of the second hit is supposed to be higher if more enemies are nearby. Additionally, the ability passively causes the next 3 attacks to deal more damage after a skill has been used.
Her “W” is a projectile that explodes upon hitting an enemy or terrain, dealing damage and slowing enemies in a mist cloud around it. This cloud lasts for 10 seconds but dissolves after 4 seconds if an ally enters it.
With her “E,” she throws a whip at the opponent that remains over a range of 1,000. After that, Nilah can use the ability again to hit another enemy or a piece of terrain. If successful, the ability can be used a third time. Then all targets are pulled together, receive damage, and are slowed. Upon collision, enemies are stunned. You can hold the ability to pull yourself along with it.
With her ultimate, Nilah creates an arena that lasts for 7 seconds or until she leaves it herself. Nilah hits every enemy in the arena, regardless of the range, and gains bonus movement speed and ignores collisions. Enemies attempting to leave the arena will be thrown back to the center (once per enemy). The arena serves as terrain for her “W” or “E.”

What stands out? Nilah’s “E” strongly resembles an ability that was originally meant for Gwen but was removed during development. However, this is not unusual, as the champion Jhin was also primarily developed from abilities that were discarded for Kindred.
What are the reactions to the leak? Very mixed. On one hand, many players find the concept of Nilah very interesting. Many players are eager to try out the whip as soon as possible.
However, many have concerns about Nilah’s position. They do not necessarily expect her to be an AD Carry in the bot lane but rather see her as a mid laner, top laner, or possibly even a support who uses slows and the whip to set up enemies for the AD Carry.
Some are also afraid that Nilah could become a new Yasuo or Yone. Both are not popular in the community because it is often not fun to play against them, even though statistics show they are not overly strong.
What do you think of Nilah and her abilities? Would you like such a champion?
Nilah would also be another female champion, which has recently led to discussions. One developer explains why so many female heroes are appearing:
Dragons are among the most popular mythical creatures and are also frequently used in gaming. There is hardly an MMORPG without a huge and important dragon. We have compiled 5 of them for you.
There are hardly any other mythical creatures that are as widespread and well-known as dragons. In various parts of the world, legends about these powerful beings developed, which are sometimes friendly and sometimes hostile towards humans.
Countless books, movies, series, and artworks revolve around dragons, and game developers have also drawn from dragon mythology in numerous games. Especially in MMORPGs, there are often a variety of different dragons. Here are 5 of them that we find really cool.
Attention: Possible spoilers for WoW, FFXIV, Guild Wars 2, EverQuest, and ESO.
Deathwing – World of Warcraft
This is Deathwing: Deathwing is one of the most famous dragons in MMORPGs and was originally not evil. His real name was Neltharion, and he was the leader of the black dragonflight and an earthwarden.
He was seen as wise and just, but over time Neltharion began to hear voices. The old gods whispered to him that other dragons wanted to destroy him and his flight, driving him into madness. The old gods ignited a tremendous hate against other dragons in him and he began to devise plans on how to subjugate them.
In a massive battle, he was defeated by the other dragon aspects, who turned against him together. Deathwing had to flee and hid in Deepholm, where he remained for the next years.
In the expansion WoW: Cataclysm, he eventually returns and is stronger than ever. His arrival tears the world apart and destroys large parts of the land. In two massive raid encounters, he is ultimately defeated by players with the help of the Dragon Soul.
Midgardsormr – Final Fantasy XIV
This is Midgardsormr: Even if he may not look like one, Midgardsormr is actually an alien. Thousands of years ago, he fled from his home planet, which was ravaged by war, taking 7 eggs with him along the way.
After a long journey through space, he reached the planet Etheirys, where the goddess Hydaelyn offered him refuge. The dragon settled on the planet, and soon his 7 children, the first brood, hatched from the eggs. They multiplied and populated the various continents, their wisdom was cherished, and their power feared.
But peaceful times soon came to an end. His children became embroiled in the machinations of the Ascians, and some of them lost their lives because of it. Midgardsormr himself ultimately led the Dravanian Horde against the “invincible” fleet of the Garlean Empire in the battle over Mor Dhona.
He and his dragons destroyed countless ships, including the flagship Agrius. The explosion was so tremendous that it devastated the entire region and sent the father of dragons into a slumber that lasted 20 years.
Players could face Midgardsormr multiple times in FFXIV, against his spirit in the dungeon Keeper of the Lake and against his young and powerful form in the raid against Omega.
Lord Nagafen – EverQuest
This is Nagafen: The red dragon was long considered one of the oldest and most powerful dragons in all of Norrath. He led the armies of the Ring of Scales to victory against the Tarkish Empire of the Elves. Many did not even dare to speak his name aloud.
Only in whispers was he spoken of, and there were rumors about him. He was banished and no longer part of the Ring of Scales. Only the dragon himself and the oldest leaders of the Ring know the exact reason for his banishment; however, it is said that he broke one of the greatest commandments of the dragons.
After his banishment, he had the fire goblins build a dwelling for him in the fiery depths of the Lavastorm Mountains, where he has remained ever since. He made a pact with the goblin king, who has since served him faithfully.
For many years, the residents of the city of Qeynos had to offer him a young girl as a sacrifice every year until a priestess of the goddess of love Erollisi cast a spell to make the dragon fall in love with her.
Lord Nagafen is one of the original raid bosses from EverQuest, along with 3 other opponents.
Aurene – Guild Wars 2
This is Aurene: The female dragon Aurene is a close ally of the player character in Guild Wars 2. Players protect her from the minions of the dragon Primordus when she is still a small hatchling and form a telepathic bond with Aurene.
She is the granddaughter of the great and terrible dragon Kralkatorrik, who devours the magic of Tyria and corrupts living beings with his breath. However, Aurene stands against her grandfather and supports the players in the fight against him by participating in battles against his minions.
During a fight against Kralkatorrik, she helps to lure the great dragon into a trap and reveals his weak points. But the dragon proves to be too powerful, and Aurene seemingly sacrifices her life to save the player character, being impaled by Kralkatorrik’s crystals.
However, removing the crystals from her body revives her, and together with the players, she resumes the pursuit of her grandfather. In the final battle against the embodiment of inner pain, Kralkatorrik is defeated, Aurene absorbs the magic of 3 elder dragons and a deity, and becomes an elder dragon herself.
This is Kaalgrontiid: The massive ancient dragon is the main antagonist in the major chapter ESO: Elsweyr and the subsequent zone DLC Dragonhold. He is referred to as the lord of fury and terror and was long imprisoned in the halls of Colossus.
When he was freed after many years, he immediately set to work to achieve his ultimate goal. Kaalgrontiid wanted to become as powerful as the dragon god of time and ruler of dragons, Akatosh.
Thus, he set off to Elsweyr to absorb the power of Jode’s Core, a powerful moon artifact. He hoped this would make him the third moon and make him as powerful as Akatosh.
According to an ancient prophecy, however, the creation of the third moon would bring a time of darkness and the birth of a new overlord, and it would destroy time itself. In the end, however, the dragon is defeated by the united forces of Nahfahlaar, the Dragonguard, and Queen Khamira.
Which dragons from MMORPGs do you also find really cool? Let us know in the comments, and we will add them to the article in the future.
The Adventure Tome summarizes your progress on each of the continents in Lost Ark. It includes bosses, dungeons, viewpoints, and more. You will receive a new reward every 10 percentage points.
This is how you complete the Adventure Tome: Through the main quests, you fill up about 10–20% on each continent. If you want to play Lost Ark for completion, take the time to revisit some maps.
You should complete bosses, viewpoints, dungeons in both difficulty levels, triports, relationships, and collectibles to receive valuable rewards. By the way, the Adventure Tome opens when you press N.
All over Lost Ark, you will encounter NPCs with whom you can build a relationship. At launch, there are more than 70 of them. Through gifts, emotes, quests, and songs, you gain reputation and will eventually be rewarded by the NPCs. However, you only have a limited number of relationship actions available per day.
Additionally, you will surely find a few Mokokos you missed on your first run. Papunika provides you with an interactive map that allows you to easily find Mokokos, bosses, and hidden side quests.
The most important rewards: As you reach higher percentages, there are additional items to obtain on the continent. For example, you might have missed a dino mount, rare cards, or decorations for your stronghold.
As a final reward, at 100% completion of the Adventure Tome, you will receive the Ignea Token of the continent. In major cities, you can exchange these tokens for further rewards, such as a mount, a rune, or a skill potion.
Is your Adventure Tome already complete? How much percentage have you already achieved on the individual continents? Which rewards do you think are the most important? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!
Hobby-demon Cortyn has a new favorite game with succubi. They are exploited there and then executed.
“Hey Cortyn, I found another game for you!” “You know how big my Pile of Shame is already.” “It has succubi, it’s dramatic and quite dark.” “Bought.”
Yes, sometimes I get someone’s attention quickly and my friends slowly know what bait to use to hook me. After all, my last experience with a succubus game was the most disturbing gaming experience I ever had.
But since the trailer for “My Lovely Wife” caught my attention immediately, I gave the game a chance.
Let me put it this way: It was quite a wild ride. Double meaning intended.
But let’s start at the very beginning and begin with the trigger warning that applies to the game:
A Dead Woman and the Use of Carnal Essence
“My Lovely Wife” starts off quite calm and simple. You play as Jake, who has been hired as a private tutor for a young lady named Luna and will guide her life from now on. He accompanies her to various courses, takes care of her etiquette and social obligations. Over the years, the two fall in love and ultimately decide to marry.
But since that would be far too simple, Luna is killed one day. The exact circumstances of her death are not explained, but Jake is thrown into a pit. Luna was the great love of his life, and without her, he simply cannot envision a future.
Luna, the great love, is murdered.
In the midst of his grief, Jake is then visited by a well-dressed man who reveals to him that he is working on a solution to his problem: resurrection. He himself has a very similar goal and needs Jake’s help for that.
To enable Luna’s resurrection, Jake must collect large amounts of “Carnal Essence” – in German a bit more directly “Lustessenz”. It is found in every human, but unfortunately, it is incredibly difficult to extract.
But the stranger has a solution for that as well: We simply have to summon a succubus who will go harvest the lust essence for us. And, as forward-thinking as the guy is, he naturally brought us some materials for demon summoning.
Jake struggles a bit with himself but ultimately decides to do it. After all, he wants to be reunited with his Luna. Demons are creepy, and exploiting them feels wrong – but don’t succubi gather lust essence all day? So, they are doing what they would do anyway.
The first summoning – a complete success.
Succubus Manager or “Women Exploitation: The Game”
This begins the typical gameplay loop. A new day begins and I have to decide how to use my summoned succubus.
I can, as you might have guessed, simply send her to the brothel to work there. She collects lust essence while earning a few gold coins for me at the same time.
Alternatively, I can send her to the hotel to perform at “special shows” and impress with other skills. She collects significantly less lust essence, but much more gold.
If she has collected enough lust essence, I can also send her to the mysterious guy who extracts the essence from her and thus advances the research.
If I’m not satisfied with my succubus’s performance, I can also improve her skills and have several options for that:
In the “Charm School,” I can teach my demon more etiquette and thus increase her charm value. The value determines how good she is in various performances and thus how much gold she earns in the brothel or hotel.
Alternatively, I send the succubus to the “Academy Noire” for very special courses that increase her flair value. Flair determines how much lust essence the succubus can accumulate in different activities.
With the gold earned, I can expand Jake’s apartment so he can accommodate more succubi at once – or I can buy expensive summoning materials to summon other succubi species with better stats.
It doesn’t take long before I’m managing the day of 5 succubi at the same time, assigning different tasks to each. While I let Ida and Marie collect lust essence in the brothel, I send Louise to the hotel to rake in gold for me. I send Mollie and Maude to different schools to raise their charm and flair values so they can soon be of assistance to the others.
In the brothel, you can let the succubi collect lust essence.
Succubi as Dating Material
Up to this point, My Lovely Wife is “just” a somewhat twisted simulator game where I manage my “hero team” in the form of various succubi and plan their daily routines. Sometimes there are little pop-ups and events, like a special incident at the hotel or one of my demons gets a new perk – both positive and negative.
But now a touch of dating sim is added as well. As is typical for visual novels, I can also have conversations with the succubi and visit them at home in their rooms. I ask them about their day, listen to their stories, or let them insult me because that’s just their thing. After all, they want to get back home quickly to their beloved master, the king of demons.
Every day, there’s a little more story, one or two more dialogues – and then a barrier.
The dialogues with succubi are sometimes profound, sometimes silly – but always interesting.
Suddenly, Jake finds himself at a loss for words. He can no longer respond to what the demons say, and the response options are grayed out.
Of course, that’s when the mysterious guy shows up and asks me exactly that. “Mr. Jake, have you ever noticed how humans sometimes struggle to talk to demons and respond?” Yes, thanks. I’ve noticed.
But there is a solution for that too. I have to extract the lust essence accumulated in the succubus and use it for myself. And how do you do that? You guessed it right: You kill the demon with a ritual dagger thrust into the heart.
With a dagger, Jake must kill the succubi if he wants more talents.
The collected essence then transfers to Jake and serves as experience points, which I can invest in talents. Talents not only provide more response options, but also increase the maximum lust essence of newly summoned succubi, their earnings in hotels and brothels, or the rate at which they learn new things in schools.
As if that weren’t dark enough, I am told even more. I can gain significantly more essence and even rare summoning materials from killing if I ensure in advance that the succubus loves me. If I even manage to get the succubus to want to stay by my side forever, the murder brings an additional bonus.
By now, “My Lovely Wife” has reached a point that raises truly disturbing questions. It has become a dark mix of Jake trying to win back the love of his life by any means and Jake exploiting succubi in the worst “pick-up artist” manner and then discarding them once they give in to him.
“Consummate Love” – Bringing the succubus to your own bed and then executing her.
My views become darker and more efficient. I catch myself thinking:
“Today I will send Mollie to S&M training at the Academy Noire, then I will pump her full of lust essence in the brothel tomorrow before I shower her with gifts in the park the day after and then make love to her, to kill her and improve my talents.”
This, in turn, triggers a vicious cycle. The new talents also make Jake better at summoning, which means: Future succubi can reach much higher charm and flair values than the currently summoned demons. Just a moment ago, Mollie was stabbed to finally be able to talk to the adored Louise, and now Louise has suddenly become economically irrelevant overnight because she has such low stats that can’t keep up with the new demons – and it only takes three more days until she also has the dagger in her heart, and the cycle begins again.
A small anecdote on the side: When I wanted to take a screenshot of the killing, the game automatically saved immediately, and I killed my most beloved succubus, whom I wanted to keep until the end.
More quirky games that Cortyn has played over the years:
Dark Fun That You Shouldn’t Think About Too Much – But You Do
Honestly: One shouldn’t think too long about what one is actually doing. It would be easy to label the game as “Exploitation of Women: The Game” or to see it as the realized dream of all Incel forums.
But it is not that simple or at least not for me. Because as dark as the choices are, they are still hard for me. Every time I see the animation of Jake destroying another heart with his ritual dagger, it triggers discomfort in me. Every time the nameplate on the room of “Lyneth”, “Ida”, or “Bettevere” switches to “Empty”, it feels like I have lost something that I cannot recover.
Staying permanently by the side of a succubus is an option.
And I like that. My Lovely Wife forces ugly decisions. It forces cruel efficiency and to see the succubi as tools and not as independent, sentient characters – while at the same time offering dialogues with them that impose exactly the opposite.
I love it. The game is not perfect, and a few more detailed drawings, animations, or variation in sound effects would have surely benefited the game and rounded out the experience a bit.

Additionally, I could only touch on a part of the possibilities here. There is also the option to truly love a demon – and to choose this succubus instead of Luna and thereby bring the game to an end. Or one ensures that a succubus is transformed into a human through true love to then take her body as a vessel for Luna’s soul and eliminate the demon. There are many options. And all of them are dark.
For about €15 on Steam, My Lovely Wife captivated me quite a bit and has provided me with many interesting hours full of dilemmas and gruesome decisions – and along the way, 20 representations of succubi with their little quirks and entertaining dialogues.
And now, please excuse me, Mollie still needs a box of chocolates before I stab her to finally talk to Louise again…

During the crossover event for the trading card game, you can also encounter Ditto in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO have looked into which monsters the Transform Pokémon is currently hiding behind and will show you.
What kind of Pokémon is it? In Pokémon GO, you have the chance to encounter the so-called Transform Pokémon Ditto. This Pokémon can change its shape and thus take on the appearance of other monsters.
On the occasion of the currently ongoing crossover event for the trading card game, Ditto is now hiding behind various other monsters, in addition to the already known Pokémon. We’ll show you which ones they are.
With the start of the crossover event, the spawns in the wild have changed. And you may also encounter Ditto there with a bit of luck. According to current reports from Niantic, Ditto is now also hiding behind the following Pokémon (via pokemongolive.com):
Wurmple
Camaub
Bidiza
So if you are still looking for a Ditto, you should definitely catch these monsters. Whether there is a Ditto hiding behind them can only be seen after you have successfully caught the Pokémon.
Is there a Shiny Ditto? Yes, with a bit of luck, you may also encounter a shiny Ditto. You can recognize it by its blue body.
Ditto as Shiny (left) and in normal form (right)
Unlike other Shinies, you will also only see the shiny specimen after you have caught it. For example, you will initially see a normal Wurmple, which may change into a Shiny Ditto after being caught with a bit of luck.
Can a Shiny Wurmple be a Ditto? If a shiny Pokémon is shown immediately upon clicking, you can be sure that there is no Ditto hiding behind it. You will thus keep the Shiny.
Are you hoping for an encounter with Ditto during the crossover event? Or do you not really care about the Transform Pokémon? And what other monsters should it hide behind in the future? Let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
The big map Caldera has faced a lot of criticism since its release in December 2021. Call of Duty: Warzone has taken the feedback to heart and is revamping the map generously with Season 4 / 2022. Even Verdansk flashbacks have already been discovered.
How is Caldera changing? On June 22, the new Season 4 in Call of Duty: Warzone starts. The next content cycle will bring a new small map with Fortune’s Keep, but significant changes are also being made to the large map Caldera.
The very popular area “Storage Town” from Verdansk is returning and getting its own version on Caldera. Storage Town was known on the old map for a lot of action, loot, and exciting fights. The area will then be found to the east on Caldera.
What do players say about it? As usual, dissatisfied players express their wishes for updates under the tweet (via twitter.com). However, when commentators talk about the map adjustments, the mood is positive. Many well-known players and content creators are commenting on the subject:
@CouRageJD – Content creator: “Yes! 50% less vegetation is soooo good. I asked for that when I got to test the map for the first time a year ago. Great.”
@JGODYT – Warzone expert: “It just keeps getting better and better.”
Warzone had major issues with bugs early in the year, and the new large map was not well received by many fans. But since Season 2 / 2022, things have been improving – there have been many updates, innovations, and improvements to the free battle royale.
In Pokémon GO currently runs the crossover event for the trading card game, where there are new event research tasks again. We at MeinMMO have looked into what these tasks are and whether the rewards are worth it.
What tasks are involved? Currently, the crossover event for the trading card game is taking place in Pokémon GO. The reason for this is a collaboration between Pokémon GO and the Pokémon trading card game, where you will soon be able to get special expansions of the trading cards in typical Pokémon GO design.
Therefore, in the upcoming two weeks, numerous spawns, shinies, and bonuses are expected in the mobile game. Of course, the event field research should not be missing. Niantic has unlocked 7 new tasks for you. We will show you what tasks and rewards there will be.
When does the crossover event run? The crossover event started today, June 16, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time and will run until June 30, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time.
All new quests for the crossover event
During the crossover event, you will find special tasks at PokéStops that are themed around the event. To get them, you just need to spin the photo disk. You can find the quests in the “Field” view, which you can access via the binoculars on your map.
The event tasks will always be marked with the word “Event” so that you can distinguish them from the normal field research tasks from June. You have unlimited time to complete them.
But which new quests will there be for the crossover event? A total of 7 new tasks are available to you, all revolving around catching Pokémon, spinning at PokéStops, trading, or sending.
With the help of LeekDuck’s overview, we have summarized all tasks and rewards for you below:
Task
Reward
Catch 10 Pokémon
3x Razz Berry or 5x Nanab Berry
Catch 15 Pokémon
Encounter with Bulbasaur or Charmander or Squirtle
Catch 25 Pokémon
Encounter with Venusaur* or Charizard* or Blastoise*
Catch 40 Pokémon
Encounter with Snorlax* or Dragonite or Slaking
Trade one Pokémon
Encounter with Pikachu with Event hat*
Spin 5 PokéStops or gyms
Encounter with Reisslaus
Send 10 Pokémon
5 Poké Balls
Pokémon marked with a (*) can also be caught in their shiny form with a bit of luck.
Which tasks are the most worthwhile?
Spin 5 PokéStops or gyms: Particularly worthwhile in this event is the task to spin 5 pokestops and gyms. For this, you will encounter Reisslaus, which is making its first appearance in the game. It will also spawn in the wild and can be found in raids, but this additional task is worthwhile, especially since it is particularly quick and easy to complete.
Reisslaus is a Pokémon from the Alola region, which belongs to the Bug and Water types. With the help of 400 candies, you can evolve it into Tectass. For this reason alone, you should take the opportunity to collect as many specimens and thus candies as possible.
Moreover, Tectass can score with a solid attack and defense value. With Fury Cutter and X-Scissor, it also has a really fast moveset, allowing it to compete with the best attackers in Pokémon GO. However, it is not yet available as a shiny.
Other interesting Pokémon
Pikachu with Event hat: If you are looking for a shiny Pikachu with the Pokémon trading card hat, you can secure further chances with the task “Trade a Pokémon”.
This will only be available temporarily in the game, and it is currently unknown if and when you will have the opportunity again. However, you can also encounter the costumed Pokémon again in larger numbers during the Spotlight hour on June 28.
Snorlax, Dragonite, and Slaking: In addition, the task “Catch 40 Pokémon” can assist you in completing the 6 new collector challenges for the crossover event. With this, you will receive an encounter with Snorlax, Dragonite, or Slaking.
If you need these for the task, you will have the chance to complete them this way. However, which Pokémon you encounter will remain a random chance. Alternatively, you can encounter these Pokémon also in the wild or face them in level 3 raids.
What do you think about the field research for the crossover event? Will you try to secure Reisslaus? Or are you more interested in one of the other Pokémon? Let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.
Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. In early June, she revealed that she is being stalked. The stalker even flew from Estonia to America for this. Most recently, the stalker tried to gain access to her apartment and was arrested by the police after 44 days.
Trigger Warning: The article is about a female streamer who is being stalked. This may evoke dark feelings in some readers. If you are struggling with thoughts: You are not alone. Please seek help. For example, at the telephone counseling service at 0800/111 0 111 or the online counseling, where you can also use a chat. It’s free and valid nationwide.
He is said to have camped daily at the Starbucks next to her mailbox to see Amouranth.
He is claimed to have shown his stalking live on Twitch. Originally with 0 viewers, but the account allegedly spread. Although the stalker was banned multiple times, he constantly created new accounts with slightly adjusted names on Twitch.
On June 13, the stalker is said to have tried to enter her house. She then called the police, who initially rudely dismissed her, but after 33 minutes sent a patrol that allegedly arrested the stalker.
The stalker became increasingly intrusive, even though he realized himself that it was wrong
How does Amouranth describe the stalker’s behavior? Amouranth says that the stalker left everything behind to get to the streamer.
According to his own statement, he sold everything and left only scorched earth behind, giving up his life in Europe to embark on a hopeless and self-destructive journey. He pawned his worldly possessions, sold his house, his car, all his belongings, even his cat.
All according to his own admission and in a series of publicly posted and privately conducted (vlogged) videos.

He is said to have moved to a hotel near her mailbox. There, he was supposedly camped at Starbucks for over a month, which is also right next to her mailbox. From there, he streamed every minute in real time on Twitch.
He also allegedly sent messages and videos repeatedly. In one, he reenacted the “Buffalo Bill dance scene” from The Silence of the Lambs.
On June 13, he is said to have set off for her house. He filmed himself creeping around the house and showed this on Twitch. He allegedly mumbled, according to Amouranth, that it was wrong, but he had to do it.
When he then attempted to break into the house, the streamer called the emergency services. They reportedly first put her on hold, but after 33 minutes finally sent a patrol. Amouranth herself had an armed person as personal protection in the house, who had cameras, a security system, and a guard dog.

In the end, the stalker is said to have been arrested. The embassy of Estonia was contacted, and the man is said to no longer be in Houston. That’s all she can say for now.
Not only Amouranth is threatened by stalkers
Stalkers are a problem for female streamers on Twitch. Viewers can interact with them almost every day and build a kind of relationship. They develop personal feelings, even though they are complete strangers to the streamers. This phenomenon is also experienced with actors or musicians.
For some people, this escalates into pathological behavior. People become stalkers and even try to ruin the lives of streamers when their feelings are not reciprocated:
This stalking is not only frightening but can also lead to significant restrictions. A female streamer reports that she no longer dares to attend events like TwitchCon, even though she always enjoyed it and met friends and fans there:
A well-known modding group for Dark Souls 3 has announced that they will now also create a mod for Elden Ring. The original “The Convergence Mod” brought a lot of new content to Dark Souls 3 and was a kind of “unofficial DLC.”
What is The Convergence? The mod is a comprehensive overhaul of Dark Souls 3. The modding group that worked on it packed a whole lot of new content into the game.
This includes, among other things:
Dozens of new weapons and reworks of old weapons with new move sets
Hundreds of new spells
Redesigned areas and maps, with new enemies and better graphics
New bosses
New hostile NPCs based on speedrunners from the Dark Souls community who bring their own builds
Rework of the covenant system that plays a larger role in builds
The content of the mod is vast and it is basically a kind of “unofficial DLC.”
“I can’t wait!”
This is what the modders say: The modding group of The Convergence has announced on their Twitter account that they will also be releasing new content for Elden Ring.

On their Discord server, one of the developers, CouchJockey, already announced in April 2022 that the Convergence mod for Elden Ring will be quite large. At that time, the team was in the planning phase and gathered ideas for new content and revisions.
Now the development has officially begun.
I personally feel that this game [Elden Ring] needs a Convergence mod more than Dark Souls 3 ever did. The balance is completely off and the progression needs massive adjustments. I’m really looking forward to getting to work and have tons of cool ideas for the mod.
CouchJockey
Some examples of his ideas include:
new bosses meant to replace frequently used boss models from Elden Ring.
new spells that will greatly expand the existing schools of magic and complement their unique playstyle
new weapons and special effects for the armors to support different builds
It will be a substantial piece of new content that at least the PC players of Elden Ring can look forward to.
More about Elden Ring on MeinMMO can be found here:
These are the reactions: Fans of the DS3 mod have reacted euphorically under the announcement on Twitter. On the modding site NexusMods, The Convergence has almost 200,000 downloads and nearly 7,000 “endorsements,” basically likes. It enjoys great popularity.
The excited fans will probably have to wait quite a while for the mod. After all, the work has just left the planning stage.
How does the mod sound to you? Will you try it out or stick with “vanilla Elden Ring”? Do you perhaps even know the DS3 mod? How did you find it? Share your experiences and expectations in the comments.
In Destiny 2 there are some triumphs that are difficult to achieve for most players, but they also entice with cool rewards. If you want to increase your drop chance for the new exotic “Heartshadow” in Season 17 and earn a prestigious badge, you need to master the dungeon Duality solo. To help you succeed, MeinMMO has compiled 5 tips for you.
Which dungeon is it? The latest dungeon in Destiny 2 is called “Duality” and contains not only some secrets and the new exotic “Heartshadow” but also many challenges. Among them is the seal triumph “Solo Thoughtstealer”.
However, while the “Flawless Thoughtstealer” can still be completed in a fireteam to increase the drop chance for the exotic “Heartshadow”, for many players the solo run might be the biggest challenge on the way to the seal. Without a plan, the new dungeon quickly becomes a frustrating grind full of bullet sponges with stressful mechanics.
MeinMMO has ventured into Duality and extracted a few tips and tactics from Calus on how you too can conquer the dungeon solo. However, if you want to know beforehand what to expect, just watch the official trailer:
Start video
Destiny 2 shows new dungeon in exciting trailer – “I am the end”
Which class should you choose for a solo Duality run? You have complete freedom in this regard. Both Hunters and Warlocks as well as Titans are capable of mastering the dungeon, especially when equipped with the new Solar 3.0 buff “Restoration”.
As a Titan, you generally have better chances of surviving, especially if you use the exotic “Lorelei Splendor”, sunspots, and your little hammer. However, the other two classes can still keep up well with the right Solar 3.0 build.
“Restoration” is a buff that came into play in Season 17 with Solar 3.0. It immediately restores a portion of your health and shields upon activation. This is practically not interrupted by taking damage. If you also use the buff “Radiant”, it’s doubly beneficial.
Restoration: When the buff is active 2x, it heals you very effectively through Solar light. You generate health and shields over time, which cannot be interrupted by taking damage.
Radiant: Your weapons are empowered by the Traveler’s might and deal increased damage to enemies.
Essentially, this combination helps you withstand and deal more damage. In the new dungeon, this is extremely important, as depending on the encounter, hordes of enemies charge at you, and that doesn’t stop no matter how many Cabal you take down.
Additionally, appropriate resilience and a seasonal mod for Solar and Void resistance are highly beneficial in many parts of the dungeon.
If you additionally use the seasonal mod “Armor of the Dying Star” and “Sniper Resistance”, you will take a total of 67% less damage.
Dare you venture alone into the belly of the Leviathan?
Tip 2: Utilize Timing and Time Advantages
If you’ve completed the dungeon a few times, you might have noticed some time advantages and timings you can use and trigger solo.
If you want to save some time, you can skip a part of the first bell phase and jump straight into the last entrance. This saves some longer travel routes and gets you to the first encounter faster. In the PvE god Esoterrikk, you can see exactly how that works.
While the enemies in the dungeon spawn endlessly, they do so with a specific regularity. Use this to your advantage and take out these waves before they spread throughout the room. Then you can more safely deal with the mechanics.
For the final boss, you can gain more time for the damage phase by not only activating the mechanism of the large bell chain but also the small bell. This gives you about 5-8 seconds more time to clear the bell keepers.
Some enemies are not just annoying but also immune.
Tip 3: Bring a Sword!
Besides the fact that you can also shorten some paths in the dungeon with a clever bell mechanic, the choice of weapons is crucial.
With rocket launchers, you would blow yourself up, and a linear fusion rifle has proven to be too inaccurate because the constant sniper bombardment often leads to missed shots. Therefore, a sword is actually useful in all encounters and has proven to be extremely helpful for us.
These swords and perks are recommended:
“The Grievance” – The exotic sword deals Solar damage and heals the sword bearer through damage dealt to enemies. Intense attacks can easily be accomplished.
“Half-Truth”: The legendary Arc sword came with the “30 Years of Bungie” expansion and can drop with the perk “Bold Blade”. This is especially helpful in the second encounter when you need to quickly deal with the paths to the bell keepers and the flag. However, it requires a bit of practice to sword-surf successfully.
Optionally, a legendary sword with the perks “Whirlwind Blade”, “Unrelenting”, “Balanced Blade” and “Jagged Blade” can be an excellent option for more damage.
You can effectively deal with Gahlran’s nightmare using a sword.
Tip 4:Better safe than fastplay
In the dungeon “Duality”, a lot happens at once. You have plenty of enemies that won’t let up, plus time pressure and sometimes bosses that can harm you while you can’t harm them at first. It sounds like a lot at once, and it is.
In a fireteam of three, you can split the individual tasks of mob and bell keeper killing as well as two flag collectors well. But how do you do that when you have to do everything alone?
The tactic in the first encounter – “Bearer of Suffering”
Once you arrive solo at the first boss, you can choose between two paths, depending on how confident you are in the game and how quickly you want to finish. It’s important to remember that with the safe method, you will definitely take longer, which makes the phase more prone to errors.
The safe method: You take each of the flag essences individually and one after the other. This means you switch to the nightmare dimension, grab the first flag essence, defeat the bell keepers, and return to place the flag. Then you can clear room 1. Once that’s done, you shoot back over and clear the first wave of Gahlran’s manifestations so that he is exposed. You repeat this with room 2 to move into the damage phase. Time-consuming, but relatively safe.
The fast method: You switch to the nightmare dimension and grab both flag essences at once. When you return with them, you can clear the areas in both the normal room and the nightmare dimension more quickly and move faster into the damage phase. However, many things can go wrong with this method, which is why we recommend the safe route.
The tactic in the second encounter – “Vault”
The dungeon features daring jumping passages between encounters.
In the second encounter of the dungeon, you now have 3 smaller bosses, but they are less of a problem because they can be easily killed. An anti-barrier weapon has proven to be effective here, as it helps against the many Cabal Phalanx shields.
Which weapons are recommended for the boss fight? Since the focus is more on the other enemies, you should equip mob killers like “Witherhoard” or add-clear weapons like a crafted “Calus Mini Tool” with the upgraded perk “Rampage”.
The Titan can repeatedly use his little hammer excellently beside these weapons, heal, and use his barricade if his hammer gets lost.
Hunters can catch a breather with improved invisibility and escape the adds.
Stasis Warlocks use their turret to freeze the masses of enemies as well as Agers Scepter for the bosses.
To access the flag essences, you need some endurance since we recommend you only take one per switch between the dimensions and deal with them. This means you need at least 6 dimension switches solo in this second encounter to remove all boss shields and successfully finish it.
Keep in mind: First, always focus on the bell keepers and eliminate them. This ensures a smooth transition back to the normal dimension without risky fights against these fire demons. This also applies to the subsequent boss fight.
If you are not quick enough to reach your objectives, namely the bell keepers and the flag essences, use the sword “Half-Truth” with the perk “Bold Blade”. This will help you cover large distances better and shorten your paths.
Tip 5: Always focus on the bell keepers
Caiatl, the dungeon’s final boss, hunting for the next Guardian kill.
Your focus should always be clear on the bell keepers during encounters. Even when you reach the boss.
First of all, every Guardian at the spawn point in the boss room always has the option to take a breather. Caiatl likely won’t get too far back, and the two platforms also offer you some protection. Use this to your advantage.
When it comes to classes, it can certainly be said that the Titan has an absolute advantage over the other classes in the final encounter since Solar 3.0.
The Solar Titan can become immortal with his little hammer. Only pressure arises if he misses his throw and the hammer goes missing.
Warlocks should trust the Solar Well with “Restoration” instead of Stasis in the final boss fight or the Nova Bomb with “Devour” and a sword.
And Hunters ideally move more invisibly and evasively with their sword through the nightmare shadows to clear the adds and get away quickly.
Which weapon is recommended for the boss fight? Here again, we recommend “The Grievance”. With its healing, it is simply the best choice. This way, during the damage phase, you don’t have to worry too much about the Psion snipers. Especially since you’ll likely be busy positioning yourself optimally in the way of the fleeing Caiatl. If the opportunity presents itself, take out the snipers.
After successfully collecting and placing your 4 flag essences, position yourself best at the right or left bell in the boss room. This is important because from there you can see all six bell keepers in front of you, and you must clear all of them first. Hence, tip 1 comes into play:
To gain more time for the boss damage phase, you should not only activate the mechanism of the large bell chain but also activate the small bell. This gives you about 5-8 seconds more time to clear the bell keepers.
Don’t forget: You can only deal effective damage to Caiatl if you receive the buff from the smaller bells. To do that, you need to be standing right in the mist of the bell during activation. If you’re too far away, save your ammo. After all, you have 3 damage phases to utilize.
In the boss phase, focusing on the bell keepers is crucial. If you didn’t manage to pick up all the bell keepers effectively, meaning they still block bells, then just focus on the bell that Caiatl goes to. There you can stun her and keep her “standing”. Use the time to free the last two bells. This way, you’ll miss only one damage phase, not all three.
The rest of the boss fight is then a concentrated repetition of this process until you gradually turn Caiatl into minced meat and your nightmare fades away.
Of course, these are just recommendations, but they might help you find a better, tactical flow for your personal runs. If you have any further tips, we look forward to your suggestions to the community in the MeinMMO comments below this article.

By a glitch, you can attach the coolest skins to all weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone. Among them is even the Dark Aether skin from CoD: Cold War. How to trigger the glitch, you can find here on MeinMMO.
In Call of Duty: Warzone, weapon skins are as common as clumsy maneuvers are for every shooter. Players have now found a glitch that allows you to swap the best skins of the 3 CoD games that Warzone combines.
Damascus from CoD MW 2019 on the FARA from Cold War? No problem! Dark Aether from Cold War on the meta weapon StG44 from Vanguard? Why not? Here’s how it looks:
Mastery camos serve as rewards in CoD and allow for custom weapon designs. The only problem: Usually, the skins can only be unlocked for specific weapons and within a single game.
Dark Aether is one of the most popular camos from CoD Cold War and typically cannot be transferred to weapons in Modern Warfare and Vanguard. The exception: You exploit the following glitch to your advantage.
CoD Warzone: Glitch gives you the coolest skins
How does the glitch work? The process is quite simple. All you need is another person who also plays Warzone, and you both need the game CoD MW 2019.
Start Warzone while the other person is in a multiplayer lobby of CoD MW 2019
Select the weapon (1) that you want to have the camo on
Create a custom blueprint for the weapon (1)
Go into the weapon selection and to the screen where you can select the saved blueprint – but do not select the weapon blueprint (1)
From here, the other person invites you into their multiplayer lobby
Now select the blueprint
Exit the lobby and go back into Warzone
Go to the class with the weapon (1) and now pick the weapon (2) that has the camo you want to transfer
For the new weapon (2), go to the camos and preview the desired camo – do not select the camo, just the preview
In the preview, person 2 invites you back into the CoD MW 2019 lobby
Press “Back” in the preview and you are back to weapon (1) that you had selected in multiplayer
The camos of weapon (2) can now be transferred to weapon (1)
Then save the blueprint of weapon (1)
Important! There has been no developer statement yet on whether players can be banned for using the glitch.
However, there is a certain risk that you might be reported by other players, as they may not know about the glitch. This can lead to a shadowban.
If you want to see the glitch in detail in the video, we’ll embed a German tutorial for you here:

Does the glitch also work in Modern Warfare? Yes, you can also apply the glitch with weapons from Modern Warfare, which then use the skins in multiplayer.
In general, however, the rule is: If you want to glitch the Dark Aether skin in Warzone, you should be quick. It can always happen that the developers introduce patches in future updates, so that the trick no longer works.
Glitches can sometimes be incredibly annoying in games. However, with this glitch, players are happy that they can equip Dark Aether not only in Cold War. Many would wish to apply all skins to all weapons.
In Pokémon GO you can find 6 new collector challenges in time for the start of the crossover event. We at MeinMMO have looked at which Pokémon you need to collect to solve them, what you should keep in mind, and what rewards await you.
What kind of challenges are these? In Pokémon GO from today, June 16, 2022, the crossover event is taking place. This is being held due to the collaboration between Pokémon GO and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
In addition to numerous spawns and bonuses, you can expect a total of nine different collector challenges during the event, which will vary in difficulty.
The first 6 collector challenges will already be available to you when the event starts, the remaining 3 tasks will follow on June 23. You can find them all in the “Today” view of the game until the end of the event, and you will have the corresponding time to complete them.
Which monsters you need to collect to solve these challenges are summarized for you below.
When does the crossover event take place? The event surrounding the Trading Card Game runs from June 16, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. local time to June 30, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. local time.
Here are the 6 new collector challenges
The reason for the collaboration between Pokémon GO and the Trading Card Game is a special expansion of the trading cards in the typical Pokémon GO design. This theme will be picked up in the collector challenges on the occasion of the crossover event.
Thus, these tasks will contain Pokémon that will also exist as trading cards in the future. They are divided into six different areas that will mainly focus on the starter Pokémon of the first generation and their expansions.
Which monsters you specifically need to collect and what rewards await you are summarized with the help of the overview from LeekDuck below.
Not all Pokémon that you need to collect for the collector challenges should be caught. Some need to be traded with friends to fulfill the task. These are marked with an (*) below.

How to find the monsters to complete the challenges
As Niantic has already announced, the tasks vary in difficulty (via pokemongolive.com). Just like in the Trading Card Game, some monsters will be easier to find in the game and others will present a little challenge.

Bulbasaur
Ivysaur
Charmander
Charmeleon
Squirtle
Wartortle
Alolan Rattata
Pikachu with event hat
Slowpoke
Magikarp
Eevee
Spinarak
Dratini
Numel
Bidoof

Finding Snorlax, Slaking, and Dragonite: If you get lucky, you can also encounter these three Pokémon in the wild. They are expected to spawn there, but are a little harder to catch. To ensure you don’t search in vain, you can also find Snorlax, Slaking, and Dragonite in Level 3 Raids.
And they also hide in the Field Research for the crossover event. Look for the task “Catch 40 Pokémon”. But be careful: which of the 3 Pokémon you get from the reward remains a matter of chance. You will need a bit of luck to get the missing specimen.
The safest way would therefore be to complete Raids. If you don’t find any nearby, you can also be invited to a remote raid by friends.
Snorlax, Dragonite, and Slaking
How to get Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise: You can easily obtain these three evolutions by completing the collector challenges surrounding Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. They hide in the rewards there.
If that doesn’t work for you, you can obtain them through the event field research “Catch 25 Pokémon”. Just like with Snorlax, Slaking, and Dragonite, it will also be a matter of chance which of the monsters you get. Alternatively, you can also rely on the corresponding Mega Raids, where you can catch the respective Pokémon afterwards.
How do you find the new collector challenges? Will you solve them? Or do you find the tasks rather boring and therefore want to focus on other event content? Feel free to share your opinion with us here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.
After the disappointment of Battlefield 2042, fans of this shooter style are looking for good alternatives. Therefore, we want to introduce you to 3 popular shooter alternatives in the context of Find Your Next Game that the Battlefield community enjoys playing.
A few weeks ago, a player asked in the Battlefield subreddit: “What are Battlefield fans actually playing right now?” (via reddit). Because Battlefield 2042 has disappointed, and many fans have lost interest in the older titles of the series, players are looking for comparable alternatives.
The most popular answer in this thread was not even a shooter, but the action RPG Elden Ring. Besides that, particularly 3 shooters were mentioned most frequently:
Genre: Shooter | Developer: Black Matter | Platform: PC, PS5, Xbox Series S/X | Release: 06.06.2019 | Payment model: Pay2Play

Hell Let Loose im Trailer
What kind of game is it? If you had to summarize Hell Let Loose in two words, “relentlessly realistic” would be a good choice. Just the weapon behavior in this WW2 shooter makes it clear that fast arcade action is not offered here:
You die and kill with just 1-2 bullets
You won’t find a crosshair in the game
Your soldier moves very slowly and sometimes awkwardly
There are no hit markers or kill confirmations for your shots
Your weapons spew so much fire and smoke with each shot that it obscures your vision
At first, this doesn’t really sound like Battlefield, and that’s why MeinMMO editor Jürgen Horn described it back in November 2018 as a kind of “Anti-Battlefield”. But it is precisely in this contrast that Hell Let Loose finds great fans in the Battlefield community.
Who is the game suitable for? Similar to Old-School Battlefields, you choose one of many classes and find yourself in a squad of up to 6 players. There are 100 players on the servers, 50 per team. The two game modes correspond to Conquest and Breakthrough from Battlefield 2042.
But even more than in Battlefield, communication, coordination, and cohesion in Hell Let Loose are crucial. The difficult and confusing gunplay, an intentional resource shortage, and orders from higher-ranking soldiers automatically promote full, concentrated teamwork.
Those without a microphone or who like to play as a ‘Lone Wolf’ will not have much fun with this game. But for those who enjoy an intense and immersive war simulation, Hell Let Loose will be very rewarding.
Pros
Intense and immersive war simulation
Teamplay and communication are very important
Much strategic depth, with orders and resource management
Unique gameplay despite many similarities to Battlefield
Mostly friendly, helpful teammates
Cons
WW2 setting
Solo players will not find joy
Difficult entry for beginners
Not a direct Battlefield replacement, more of a ‘contrast program’
What does the game cost? Perhaps you have even snagged the game through PS+ for your PS5. If not, you will have to shell out around €40.
Insurgency: Sandstorm – Realistic battles in a modern setting
Genre: Shooter | Developer: New World Interactive | Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X | Release: 12.12.2018 | Payment model: Pay2Play
Insurgency Sandstorm reminds in the trailer of how intense the shooter is
What kind of game is it? Insurgency: Sandstorm is the sequel to the cult hit Insurgency. This intense shooter also relies on significantly more realistic gunplay than Battlefield, but places you in the modern war setting of the Middle East.
This setting also comes with many weapons that fans have come to love from games like Battlefield 4 or CoD Modern Warfare. Weapon attachments also play a big role here. Therefore, weapons fans should have a lot of fun because, like Hell Let Loose, the bullets are instantly deadly, the HUD elements are sparse, and the weapons are unyielding when fired.
What Insurgency: Sandstorm has over Battlefield 2042 or the other alternatives is the choice of game modes. From large battles with vehicles to smaller deathmatch battles that remind of hardcore modes in CoD, everything is offered here. Provided you enjoy a fast time-to-kill.
Pros
Intense hardcore shooter
Places great value on teamplay
Many classes and loadout options
Numerous, diverse game modes
New entry is quite pleasant
Cons
Community can be toxic and exhausting
Fast TTK can frustrate
Not a direct Battlefield replacement in the classical sense
Who is the game suitable for? Insurgency: Sandstorm attracts players who like to engage in military roleplaying. So on the servers, you will often find people talking in this jargon and giving orders. If you enjoy taking on this role or like participating in such scenarios, you will find fulfillment here.
Like Hell Let Loose, the game is less of a direct Battlefield replacement, but rather an alternative that also wants to simulate large battles with specific roles for soldiers in a more realistic way.
What does the game cost? Insurgency: Sandstorm currently costs €29.99.
World War 3 – A mix of Battlefield with Call of Duty
Genre: Shooter | Developer: The Farm 51 | Platform: PC | Release: 20.10.2018 (Early Access) | Payment model: Pay2Play
World War 3: Trailer for Beta aims to convince Battlefield fans
What kind of game is it? Among all 3 games mentioned here, the Battlefield inspirations are most noticeable in World War 3. However, it is also the least polished game on the list, even though it has potential. At least it has better reviews than Battlefield 2042.
World War 3 also plays in a modern setting, but the locations are more European here. The time-to-kill is very close to what you know from Battlefield.
In two game modes, up to 40 players can compete against each other:
Tactical Operations are basically “Conquests” from Battlefield, where two teams of 20 players each must capture control points.
In Team Deathmatch, you shoot at each other in teams of 10.
Battlefield is not the only inspiration for the game from Polish origin: The loadout menu visually and content-wise strongly resembles Call of Duty, and there are CoD-like killstreaks.
Pros
Fun mix of Battlefield and CoD
Very suitable for casual players
Inexpensive
Cons
Match search often takes longer
Sometimes seems uninspired and unpolished
Uses its own launcher despite Steam
Who is the game suitable for? Those looking for the most direct Battlefield clone and who also enjoy CoD elements should find World War 3 appealing. Accordingly, the game also appeals to casual players who are in the mood for a rather casual shooting round rather than intensive war simulations.
What does the game cost? World War 3 is still in Early Access and currently costs €12.99.
Have you played any of these games? What is your favorite? Or do you have another shooter that you play instead of Battlefield 2042? Let us know in the comments.
There is also a lot going on in the largest shooter series in the world. Soon, both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 will be released in Call of Duty. MeinMMO colleague Maik Schneider summarizes here for you what to expect in these two games:
A user demonstrates what can still be done with old hardware like floppy disks and the like. The musical result is truly impressive.
No one really uses floppy disks and old hard drives anymore, as the technology is considered outdated in the year 2022. Hardly a user will still have a floppy disk drive in their gaming PC today, unless they love the retro aspect or want to play old classics from floppy disks.
But what do you do with hardware that hardly anyone needs today? One user has bought hundreds of these almost worthless devices and turned them into a musical instrument. Sounds crazy, and it is.
YouTuber creates music only with sounds from old hardware
How can you make music with hardware? All devices make sounds. For example, your console beeps when you turn it on, or a hard drive rumbles in deep bass when you use it. It is exactly these sounds that the YouTuber Paweł Zadrożniak uses to create music.
Using software, he then fine-tunes how the sounds need to be activated so they produce the right sound or note at the right moment. The final result can be seen in a video lasting just under 4 minutes:

Paweł Zadrożniak makes music with floppy disk drives
What does the computer orchestra consist of? The YouTuber himself writes about what hardware he uses for his orchestra. Currently, he has:
512 floppy disk drives
16 hard drives
4 scanners
How much power does it consume? In his video, he also explains how much power his orchestra consumes. On average, the consumption is around 300 watts. That’s about as much as a mid-range gaming PC needs while gaming. However, he has measured a maximum consumption of over 1.2 kilowatts.
For comparison: With one kilowatt-hour of electricity, you can run a 9-watt LED lamp for about 100 hours or keep your TV running for around 7 hours.
Making music with hardware is not a new idea
The idea of making music with old hardware is probably almost as old as the hardware itself. There have already been other YouTubers who play music with floppy disk drives (via YouTube.com).
These individuals use not only computer hardware but also pretty much anything that comes their way. Quickly, an electric toothbrush or a kettle is repurposed into a musical instrument.
You can listen to how the main theme from “Pirates of the Caribbean” sounds on electronic toothbrushes in the following YouTube video:

And these somewhat different music videos are really well received by the audience. For example, a user writes under one of the channel Device Orchestra’s videos (via YouTube.com):
If someone had told me ten years ago that a toothbrush, an iron, a typewriter, a toaster, a PS3 controller, and two credit card machines would come together into an absolute masterpiece, I would have invented a time machine to get to this moment faster.
Due to high prices and scalpers, old hardware suddenly became valuable again
You won’t be able to make much money with floppy disk drives or ancient hard drives today. At least, older graphics cards were in high demand in recent years. As there were hardly any graphics cards available for purchase, some users turned to older models. Scalpers and resellers also noticed this, selling old, used graphics cards for immense sums.
Nowadays, you can often find Nvidia and AMD graphics cards at absolutely fair prices without having to resort to such strange offers. However, you should keep your eyes peeled, as the next generation of Nvidia and AMD is coming soon:
On June 16, 2022, a crossover event for the trading card game starts in Pokémon GO. You can look forward to plenty of spawns and bonuses. We at MeinMMO will show you what new Pokémon, spawns, shinies, and bonuses will be available.
What kind of event is this? The Pokémon trading card game and Pokémon GO are celebrating their cooperation. From July 1st, there will be a special Pokémon GO edition as an expansion for the trading cards. Of course, a corresponding crossover event in the mobile game should not be missed.
So you can expect numerous spawns and shinies, as well as one or two bonuses. Additionally, Reißlaus, Tectass, and Pikachu with a Pokémon trading card game cap will make their debut. You can also look forward to the return of Shiny-Meltan.
When does the crossover event start? The trading card event starts on June 16, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time and runs until June 30, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time.
All Spawns and Shinies for the Crossover Event
During the crossover event for the trading card game, there will again be plenty of Pokémon to catch. You can encounter them in the wild or battle against them in raids. The two Alola Pokémon, Reißlaus and Tectass, will celebrate their debut in the game.
There will also be a new costumed Pokémon: Pikachu with a special cap for the Pokémon trading card game. This blue event cap will also appear on the corresponding trading card (via pokemon.com).
Reißlaus, Tectass, and Pikachu with event cap
We have summarized where you can encounter the new monsters and what Pokémon are also available. Additionally, we have marked the Pokémon with a (*) that you might encounter as shinies with a bit of luck.
Wild Spawns for the Trading Card Event
In the wild, you can encounter altered spawns throughout the event. You will primarily come across monsters from the first game generation. However, other Pokémon like Reißlaus will also be found here.
Additionally, you can look forward to Lunastein and Sonnfel, which will be available at the event, regardless of the hemisphere, all over the world. The following wild spawns can be found:
Bisasam*
Bisaknosp
Glumanda*
Glutexo
Schiggy*

All Raid Bosses for the Trading Card Event
And even in the raids, you can encounter new raid bosses during the crossover event around the trading cards:
Attention: The legendary Pokémon Mewtu will also have a change in its charge move during the event, which it will have after catching. You will receive it until June 23, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time with the move Shadow Ball, after which it will have Psycho Cut.
Reißlaus and Tectass – The new Pokémon for the Crossover Event
With the start of the crossover event, you can encounter Reißlaus and its evolution Tectass in Pokémon GO for the first time. Both are from the 7th game generation and belong to the Bug and Water types.
You can recognize the small Alola Pokémon by its silver-gray body and long antennae. Visually, it resembles a kind of silverfish. Its evolution, however, is significantly larger and stands on two legs. Tectass again has the typical silver-gray scaly body.
During the event, you can encounter Reißlaus in the wild, in raids, and through rewards. Tectass can only be obtained by evolving Reißlaus. For that, you need 400 candies. Reißlaus will not be available as a shiny in the game for the time being.
In addition to the many spawns and shinies, you can also look forward to one or two bonuses during the trading card event. Especially activating the mystery box is worthwhile during the event, which is why you should wait until Thursday to open it.
Meltan can spawn as a shiny from it with some luck
