Although there is loud criticism of Diablo Immortal, the new MMO seems to attract many players. One of them has now encountered a problem with one of the features: factions. Upon entering one, he was kicked out of the clan he had founded himself.
The user mrcaruthers writes on reddit that he founded a clan in Diablo Immortal for real money.
However, after he completed a quest, he was allegedly kicked out of his own guild without any warning.
How did the expulsion happen? The expulsion is related to the fact that the player joined the Shadows, one of the factions of Diablo Immortal. The quest to join the faction is available to players starting at level 43.
Since the Shadows are a special faction in the game, one must either leave their current clan or completely transform it into a Shadow clan.
Why should one become a Shadow at all? As a Shadow, you enjoy certain advantages like additional tasks and bonuses to character strength. However, you are no longer simply an adventurer, but rather an opponent of the ruling Immortals – other real players. You can learn more about the background in the story of Diablo Immortal.
mrcaruthers says he was not informed about this and that support was not helpful either. He was simply kicked out of the clan.
Blizzard’s response was: Since this involves in-game currency, a refund is not possible. This issue has now sparked a long discussion.

Factions make clans confusing
What other players say: There is now a discussion in the thread about the game mechanics. There is actually a warning when you join the Shadows. This is a semi-permanent decision, and at least as a regular member, there is a notice that the entire clan must switch.
Some players suspect that this is not the case for clan leaders like mrcaruthers. The response from Blizzard also surprises some players, as it mentions gold.
Founding a clan still cost gold during the beta, a pure in-game currency. However, it now requires platinum. This can be earned in-game or purchased with real money, as in mrcaruthers’s case.
However, it has already happened that players were removed from their clan without warning or because they did not pay attention. Some suspect that many simply type “Okay” without reading the warning more closely. Others believe a clearer notice would be appropriate.
If you are considering joining the Shadows, you should definitely leave your clan first or ensure that everyone switches together.
Why does a clan actually cost real money? Clans are one of the MMO features of Diablo Immortal, highlighting the game’s focus on social aspects. Up to 100 like-minded players can come together to tackle dungeons, raids, or PvP together.
The payment model is already under criticism, particularly regarding the discussion about legendary gems in Diablo Immortal. However, there now seem to be problems with the game’s systems, which are said to be not transparent enough.
The post by mrcaruthers is currently one of the strongest in the subreddit of Diablo Immortal, with 880 upvotes and 320 comments (as of June 8th, 9:00 AM). However, another discussion is even more dominant: the one about Pay2Win and especially how annoyed players are with the complaints:
In League of Legends the dream of a European super team has burst. For Spring 2022, the French team Vitality bought some of the best players in Europe: They played with a team consisting of a Croatian, a Welshman, a Czech, a Pole, and a Greek. But that was only enough for 5th place in the LEC league. Now they need a Korean. Additionally, they bring in a fallen giant talent from China.
This was the idea of “Team Vitality”: The French team wanted to violently buy their way to the top of Europe. They dug deep into their pockets and gathered some of the biggest stars that Europe has to offer:
Already half a year earlier, they had acquired Selfmade, a Polish jungler, who was considered an absolute top player in Europe and played a year with Fnatic.
The team was supplemented by the Czech Carzzy (Bot) and the Greek Labrov (Support).
The message was clear: This is now the new power in Europe. They would smash all other teams. They bought a super team.
So it actually went: Not so well. The two “US re-imports” Perkz and Alphari had noticeably fallen out of shape in the USA and struggled to acclimate to Europe.
In general, observers agreed: They are indeed super players, but as a team, it’s not working. In a LoL team, not everyone can be the star; it must be clearly defined which lanes have priority and how to win.
The result was that the supposed super team only showed up in 5th place and was eliminated early in the playoffs.
The German team “Eintracht Spandau” wants to be the somewhat different LoL team:

Team fires Selfmade, says: Super players, but it doesn’t fit
This is what they are doing now: Team Vitality breaks up the European core before the Summer Split 2022 in the LEC: Jungler Selfmade remains in the team, but apparently will no longer play a role. They are looking for a new team for him.
It is said that Selfmade is an incredibly talented player and also very popular in the team. But LoL is very complex and different playstyles must come together – if they don’t fit, changes need to be made.
They believe: Selfmade will surely shine in another team and promise to find him a team.
Instead of Selfmade, they have now signed Kang “Haru” Ming-seung for the jungle, a Korean. Additionally, Zhou “Bo” Yang-bo, a Chinese, as a substitute jungler.

Who are the new imports? Haru is a 24-year-old Korean who had his big time 6 years ago at age 18: He became world champion with Samsung Galaxy in 2017, taking the title from Faker and T1.
But Haru did not have a very stable career: He bounced from team to team in Korea, not staying anywhere longer than a year.
Since June 2021, however, Haru has not played in Korea anymore, took a year off, then returned to the LoL business in Latin America and in the second European league with Team X7 Esports.
This seems to be a typical “Not good enough for the top teams in the LCK anymore, but I want to continue making money with LoL and it fits for the West” career.
The 20-year-old Chinese “Bo” is probably the more interesting transfer: Team Vitality formally brings him in as a “substitute player”.
But Bo was regarded as an absolute mega-talent for the jungle in China and managed to make it into the starting formation of FunPlus Phoenix, a top team in the LPL. However, he only played there for a short time.
Because BO was then banned due to a match-fixing scandal and apparently fell from grace. He has not played since May 2021.
Now Team Vitality may be getting one of the world’s greatest talents for the jungle in LoL, who is also only 20 years old. Bo could perhaps become a big star in Europe in a few years.
Ready or Not was announced in 2017, but for a long time it was a complete joke among insiders. However, since December 18, 2021, the game is in Early Access on Steam and has been celebrating great successes since then and is considered a spiritual successor to the beloved SWAT games. MeinMMO reveals to you, as part of FYNG Summer 2022, what makes the game so good.
Even though the name sounds like hide-and-seek among children, Ready or Not is anything but a tender-hearted shooter. In fact, behind this name lies a realistic police simulation in which you want to arrest criminals as part of a SWAT team. And that if possible in handcuffs rather than body bags.
Because although Ready or Not is a shooter, you should avoid wild shooting. If you break the strict operational rules of the SWAT and take out everything that crosses your sights, you will be punished by the game.
The game is still in Early Access, but it already has a lot of content for the price of €35.99 on Steam. That is also why the gameplay trailer is a full 8 minutes long, as it explains in detail the methods you can use to bring law and order to this completely corrupt version of America.
Especially from minute 2:30, the trailer makes it clear how different and unique Ready or Not plays:
Start video
See the gameplay of the upcoming shooter Ready or Not
A whole game like the best level from CoD: Modern Warfare
The hardcore shooter thus strikes the same chord as SWAT 4, a game that made a small niche of shooter fans incredibly happy shortly after its release in 2005. Even ancient Rainbow Six games like Raven Shield or Rogue Spear are the clearer inspiration than franchise offshoots like Siege – not to mention the alien shooter Rainbow Six Extraction.
If you can’t imagine this because you missed these games or belong to the younger generation: Do you remember the best level in CoD: Modern Warfare (2019)? Where you as a special unit clear a house in pitch darkness with night vision scopes, which is simultaneously full of armed terrorists and innocent civilians?
Ready or Not is that level, expanded into a whole game. In a modern urban setting, you are a team of the best police officers, equipped with the latest military technology, and you have to make the right decision in extreme situations. Because situations escalate quickly and you can go down in a split second, the game is often more thrilling than the most intense horror games.
Seeing multiple opponents through the door camera is terrifyingThe shooter also excels in terms of atmosphere and graphicsReady or Not evokes the best moments from CoD Modern Warfare
Furthermore, all levels in the game have multiple missions to choose from, which vary in difficulty. Additionally, the distribution of enemies, civilians, and their behavior changes with each new attempt at a level.
Whether your mission is in a cluttered house, a school, or a nightclub: Your goal is to resolve each situation with as little bloodshed as possible. For this, you can sneak up on enemies, intimidate them by yelling, fire a warning shot into the air as a last warning, or incapacitate them with tasers. Only when all else fails should you shoot to kill.
To make that work, especially in the harder missions, you must assess the situation with your team in front of almost every door, devise a battle plan, and carry it out well-coordinated. You can do this either as a solo player with commands for your bot partners or in co-op with your friends.
More from FYNG Summer 2022 by MeinMMO, GamePro, and GameStar:
Some of these reviews say that Ready or Not is “what Rainbow Six Siege should have been.” Others go even further and say: “This is not what Rainbow Six could have been; this is better.” It is even said to be a kind of savior for fans of SWAT simulators, who have not received a truly new game of this kind since 2005.
But it wasn’t always so positive. In an alpha version, the game was considered “fraud,” which had taken €120 from gullible players to throw them a bad PvP shooter in the form of a CoD clone against great promises (via reddit). This reputation seems to have been shed by the game at the latest with its Early Access release now.
With commands to your bot colleagues, you can also play tactically soloYou can create complex loadouts for all 5 team members in advanceThe levels offer different types of missionsSome levels immediately evoke memories of SWAT 4
In addition to the gameplay, which is “simply a tactical delight” and “is fun with two or more players,” the Steam reviews also praise the continuous updates. Just a few days ago, a comprehensive update for June was announced (via Steam), in which primarily the AI opponents are to be made significantly smarter and more unpredictable.
The full release of Ready or Not is announced for around December 2022. Until then, more maps, weapons, as well as UI and gameplay improvements are to come. A PvP mode is also expected to be added.
Ready or Not fills a gap that benefits the market
Pros
Intense, realistic gameplay
One of the few modern ‘SWAT simulators’
Unnecessary violence is punished; tactical approaches rewarded
Fun co-op mode
Many loadout options
Cons
Still in Early Access
Very slow gameplay pace is not for everyone
German translation is unrefined and incomplete
Tutorial is somewhat hidden (‘Test Level’ in mission selection)
A tactical delight for fans of hardcore shooters
When I heard that Ready Or Not is supposed to be the spiritual successor to SWAT 4, my heart leaped. I played the Gold Edition of this classic for years, always trying to improve the same levels even better.
However, SWAT developer Irrational Games had a hit with Bioshock two years later, and the genre of realistic police simulation seemed to be dead, I thought.
Fortunately, Ready or Not shows me how poorly I can predict the future. Despite Early Access and a few related quirks, VOID Interactive offers me here a kind of unofficial remake of one of my favorite games.
With all the unique facets that every shooter fan should try at least once, this could also become your new favorite game. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer to play this intense simulation with adrenaline guarantee in co-op or solo.

Mads “Broxah” Brock-Pedersen is one of the best players in League of Legends and has played as a jungler for Fnatic, CLG, and currently Team Liquid. In a video, he explained why junglers often receive a lot of hate and toxic comments, regardless of whether they play well or not.
What exactly is the problem? LoL is considered a toxic game. If a match doesn’t go as planned or if one makes a mistake, it often leads to complaints and even insults in voice or text chat. We repeatedly report on MeinMMO cases where toxic behavior ruins the fun for players.
Pro player Broxah has now spoken about the issue of toxicity and how to deal with it in a video. As a professional, he also receives comments and remarks frequently. Junglers are often targets of such attacks. He himself has no hope that this behavior will improve anytime soon, and thus offers tips on how to cope.

“Even if you play really well, people will criticize you”
What does Broxah say exactly? In his video, the pro explains that it doesn’t matter what league you are in, there will always be flames and toxic behavior:
This happens to all junglers. It doesn’t make a difference. Even if you play really well, people will criticize you. […]. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have achieved as a LoL player. No matter what ranking, the behavior of your teammates will never change.
One reason for the many flames directed at junglers is said to be the misunderstanding of teammates. They should actually be able to handle their lane (Top, Mid, Bot) on their own, but often fail and then blame the jungler:
Because the players on the lane don’t understand that it is their job to play well on their own in the matchup. Their task is not to be a little child whining, crying, and waiting for the babysitter while the jungler does everything for them.
From Broxah’s perspective, it is therefore important to learn how to deal with these issues.
What tips does he have? In general, Broxah recommends muting players who start flaming in the chat. Because even if you don’t react, you still keep reading the chat and start to get annoyed.
It is also important to stay positive and hope for the best. Once you start to get annoyed or respond with flames, you enter a spiral and stop focusing on the game itself.
The players who flame you and ruin your game, you will probably never see again. Is it really worth it to insult back and let them ruin your gaming experience? […]. In the end, when it comes to achieving a higher rank, every game is important. You can win a game by simply ignoring people [who flame].
In the video, Broxah even managed to win a game where he was flamed right from the start.
Similar tips regarding tilt were shared in 2020 by LoL pro Marcin “Jankos” Jankowski, who has been playing for G2 Esports in LoL for years and also struggles with flames in SoloQ:
Do you really want to buy a PS5? This morning you might have the opportunity to do just that at Amazon. MeinMMO presents you with all the important information you need.
Even though the so-called “Prime Spoiler” – a known hint that has always reliably indicated a soon drop of the coveted console in the past (“Prime members have priority access to the PlayStation 5”) has not yet appeared on the product pages of the two bundles, the appearance of the new bundle with the Digital Edition could indeed be an indication that a drop could happen tomorrow.
When does the sale start on Amazon? It is expected that the PS5 consoles will be available on Amazon this Wednesday, June 8, 2022 – a typical day for dealer drops. The sale is expected to take place early in the morning, between 8:30 and 11:00 AM. You should therefore be near your computer, or at least have your phone within reach, especially in the morning, if you want to have a chance.
How can I increase my chances? Add the PS5 or the corresponding bundles to your Amazon wishlist now. Experience has shown that it is better to add the bundles from the wishlist to the cart. This usually leads to significantly fewer technical problems, as the product page is often overloaded due to the rush.
Prime has been a must for PS5 drops on Amazon
For the upcoming drop, you should be a Prime member. Although it is said that Prime members have “priority access,” the reality is that the offers are always gone so quickly that other people can’t buy at all. You can also try Amazon Prime for free for 30 days.
Didn’t get a PS5? If you didn’t get a PS5, be sure to check our ticker. Here we keep you updated daily and explain how you can best get a PS5 and show you drops related to the coveted console.

Darth Vader himself is the current top reward in the new Battle Pass of Fortnite. However, the powerful Sith Lord seems to have misplaced his lightsaber.
This is the problem: Darth Vader is not to be trifled with. Anyone who has seen the epic scene in Rogue One knows: When Vader’s red lightsaber ignites, it’s over.
Instead of his iconic weapon, Darth Vader has been gifted another harvesting tool: The “Emblem of the Empire” is a kind of staff with the imperial emblem on top.
This may not be quite the “Death Star on a stick” that fans dreaded beforehand, but it’s close.
Not the first case: The fact that players speculated about what kind of axe Vader would carry is due to his Star Wars colleagues Kylo Ren, Rey, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
They all received skins in the past, but none were given a lightsaber as a harvesting tool. Obi-Wan, for instance, is currently running around in Fortnite with a knife that was seen for a few seconds in the new series.
The “Emblem of the Empire” – Much better than a lightsaber (?)
In any case, laughter is spreading among Fortnite and presumably also Vader fans.
Fan suggests laser spoon as a replacement, teammates like it
This is what fans are saying: In the Fortnite subreddit, many images and memes have appeared since the release of the new Season 3, making fun of Vader’s stick.
For instance, a player posted the scene from the big live event, in which Obi-Wan and Vader briefly clash their lightsabers – but naturally replaced both weapons with a knife and the Empire’s staff.
Currently, however, the following post is particularly popular:

User “ReturnoftheSnek” suggests giving the dark lord at least a red lightsaber spoon to hold.
These little things were once included as a bonus in cereal boxes when Episode III – Revenge of the Sith hit theaters. And in the comments, some users even consider it a pretty good idea:
“I would love that unironically,” thinks user TonyThePapyrus (via reddit).
“That would have really been a very creative alternative,” says TheeDeputy (via reddit).
“Oh man, you just awakened a completely forgotten memory in me. I had one, the red one,” remembers swhipple (via reddit).
Of course, lightsabers come and go as actual weapons in the game, but only temporarily. There are still no laser weapons as permanent “harvesting tools”, despite all the Star Wars content.
In another post, players suspect that Epic is now deliberately joking with the players – because there is even “Vader’s lightsaber” as a small emote picture. Just not as a harvesting tool.
Fortnite: Season 3 in the gameplay trailer – brings new sawgun and old vehicle back
Nevertheless, it may be that we will see the lightsaber again soon. In the gameplay trailer for the new season, Vader is seen throwing it at enemies and using the Force to attack foes. It’s very likely that Vader will cause trouble as an AI boss on the map in the future.
At least, Vader can impress with his remaining cosmetics, like the “Imperial March,” which even features his iconic music.
Destiny 2 starts today in week three of Season 17and thus the current story will also receive a continuation.Players are once again exploring the past of the NPCs. MeinMMO is right in the middle and reports to you what is currently happening in the story and what activities await you this week.
This week: Currently, Bungie is setting standards with Season 17 – both positive and negative. Players are unhappy with the state of PvP as well as the new Solar 3.0 abilities. However, with the reset and today’s update, a few more bugs are expected to be fixed.
In addition, besides the regular activities this week, the seasonal story mission will also continue today. This means that players may once again visit the activity “Separation” on the Leviathan and face another nightmare. Initial leaks also suggest a cutscene with Zavala and his female nightmare Safiyah.
Will Zavala face his nightmare Safiyah this week?
What happened last week in the story? Last week, Crow had to endure further mockery and accusations from his nightmare and old ego Uldren Sov.
What was especially interesting here was the underlying message of Destiny 2. Instead of fighting these voices that tell you that you aren’t good enough, the game encourages you to try to accept them instead and therefore “transform” them. Pained nightmares become acceptable memories.
Thanks to his acceptance, Crow is now at peace with Uldren Sov. He even believes that he truly knows his purpose now. He wants to repay his debt from now on by continuing Cayde’s old patrols and being there for the Hunters. The application to Commander Zavala for the position of Hunter Vanguard seems to be just a formality. But whether the Guardians will like this in Destiny 2 remains to be seen. Especially since Ikora just had a visit from Cayde’s nightmare.
Key information about activities from June 7 to June 14.
Guardians of Nothing, in the former Prison of Elders
The objective is to find the “Mad Watcher.” He is a heavily modified Fallen Servitor that was used by Variks, the Loyal, to monitor the Prison of Elders. After the outbreak of the Scorn, he activated and now exhibits erratic behavior, which is why the Guardians must stop him.
This week’s Nightfall weapon: In the 3rd week of the “Season of the Haunted” you can pick up a fusion rifle.
The Nightfall offers you the fusion rifle Plug One.1 this week.
Additionally, you will also receive a boost to your Vanguard rank this week.
Playlist Strikes have these modifiers:
Arc Singe
Heavyweight
Iron
The singe modifier accompanies you throughout the week, while the others change daily.
In the “Oryx’s Vow” raid, the challenge “Quick Destruction” begins. To complete it, players must defeat all unstoppable champions simultaneously or within a few seconds.
As a reward for the challenge in the first section of the Grandmaster raid this week, there is a chance to receive a master version of the submachine gun “Suppression,” the fusion rifle “Redemption,” or the linear fusion rifle “Catastrophic.”
Weekly Activities
With Season 17, new activities have also been introduced to the game. Explore the Leviathan and face the nightmares or surprising boss opponents in the new patrol zone. Equip the Solar Sense there and defend yourself in the Nightmare Containment.

Thus, the power level at the start of the new Season 17 has increased by +10 power levels compared to the previous Season 16. All players have also been raised to the baseline power level of 1,350. Those who want to level quickly can also play the Legendary Campaign of the Witch Queen expansion and reach 1,520 upon completion, as well as get a new exotic.

The release of Diablo Immortal is overshadowed by the omnipresent discussion about Pay2Win. Almost nowhere can you find information without at least a mention. The fans who like the game are slowly getting fed up.
More and more people shout “Pay2Win!” – and now there’s the echo. Fans on Reddit are annoyed by the constant complaining.
Those fans who prefer to spend their time playing rather than complaining seem to be waking up after the release weekend. They are picking up the discussion and are even taking it humorously at times.
One of the largest threads on Reddit is currently a meme that makes fun of the reaction when you actually like Diablo Immortal:

Cynical comments come like: “Sorry, but I really enjoy the game. I played Diablo 1 and 2 in school, back in 2003. Diablo 3 since 2012, and now Immortal. And I manage to enjoy the game without microtransactions. Sorry.”
Others criticize that the Pay2Win discussion wouldn’t affect most players at all. Acceptable_Answer570 explains that the Battle Pass alone is “more than enough for the casual player.” It is available for free or as a premium version for €5. Those who play everything through in a very short time and then complain that there’s nothing to do are to blame themselves.
Generally, the Battle Pass and the gameplay are enough incentive for most players. They don’t need to pay anything. What matters more is simply being able to slice a few demons. That’s precisely the point. You can spend money in real life too, demons don’t kill themselves.

Diablo Immortal: All 6 Classes in Brief Overview with Gameplay
“I wanted builds and got a shitshow”
This is what fans are annoyed about regarding the discussion: Even on MeinMMO, there are some users who do not understand the discussion. The system had been known beforehand, and the shop is not even that intrusive. If someone just wants to play, they can do so. Our reader Tronic48 summarizes:
I don’t know what you all want. I think the game is great, will play it as long as it is fun for me, regardless of whether it’s P2W or not. I don’t care. And when the day comes when I’m no longer having fun, I’ll just stop and move on to the next game.
Particularly annoyed are those players who simply want to exchange thoughts about the game. While searching for builds and discussions about the game, they keep stumbling over complaints.
Those on Reddit find only a “shitshow” as TheoryOfSound bluntly complains. He doesn’t take the game too seriously, if he has to pay at some point, he’ll just stop. As long as it is a pastime for the couch.
Guides and more about Diablo Immortal can also be found on MeinMMO:
What exactly is the problem? The whole discussion arises, among other things, from the statement of Game Director Wyatt Cheng that no equipment will ever be available for purchase. Also in the interview about the future of Diablo Immortal he said that the best way to improve is always to play the game.
However, in the shop of the mobile game, indirect improvements for legendary gems and the jewels themselves can partially be purchased. For part of the community, this is already Pay2Win, as you get better stats for your character for money.
Cheng himself had to clarify his statement because of this:
For a long time, there has been silence about The Division: Heartland, but now new information about the F2P offshoot of the series has come to light. They present a bit more clearly what modes you can expect from the game.
What kind of game is this? In May 2021, The Division: Heartland was announced as one of several projects that are supposed to expand the Division universe. Heartland is supposed to be released as a free-to-play title and also stand on its own. Prior knowledge from previous offshoots is therefore not required.
At that time, players could sign up for a pre-test of the game on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Stadia. This is still possible today, but not much more information has surfaced since then.
A gameplay leak appeared shortly after the initial announcement and showed that the game would likely rely heavily on PvE – and two modes, Expedition and Storm.
This is where the new information comes into play: Apparently, the number of modes in Heartland has doubled since then.
Much PvE, but also PvP in The Division: Heartland
Here is the new info: The well-known gaming insider Tom Henderson has released new information about Heartland (via tryhardguides.com). According to his information, the game will feature a total of four modes instead of just two.
Storm
Storm is supposed to be the main mode where you land on the map Silver Creek and fight for survival together. You must look for loot, explore the surroundings, and survive – but both other players and AI will make your life difficult.
Additionally, a gas spreads across the map. But not like a classic battle royale circle from the outside in, but from multiple points on the map. This is to make matches differ more from one another. In the end, you aim to escape via helicopter.
Excursion
Excursion is the mode previously known as “Expedition” and acts almost like a tutorial mode for “Storm.” It plays out similarly to Storm, except that here you only face the AI, not real opponents.
Nightfall is the first of two currently unknown modes. This mode is also primarily focused on PvE, while at the same time you need to complete various objectives during the game.
Additionally, you do not escape via helicopter, but through an exit at the bottom of the map. However, this is only possible during the day and not at night. So if you aren’t out by sunset, you first have to survive the night against so-called “Vultures.”
Hunt
As for the second new mode, there is still hardly any information according to Henderson, but it is supposed to focus more on PvP than on PvE. This essentially completes the set of modes and gives everyone the opportunity to play Heartland against real or AI opponents as they prefer.
In addition to the new modes, Henderson also states that the game is supposed to be equipped with crossplay and is currently in an active testing phase. It is said to be close to completion. A release near the end of the year would be conceivable according to Henderson.
However, there is still a lot of time until then and official information has so far been scarce. If you are looking for a good shooter alternative: Here you can find the best online shooters of 2022.

At 6:00 PM German time, maintenance will begin in the background on all platforms.
From 6:45 PM, the servers will go offline and you will be automatically kicked from all activities.
Around 7:00 PM, the servers are expected to come back online and Hotfix 4.1.0.2 will be rolled out for all platforms. However, you can log in to play again right now.
Officially, the maintenance for Hotfix 4.1.0.2 will end at 8:00 PM.
It is important: Even if you have downloaded the update, there may be connection issues until the maintenance ends around 8:00 PM. You may also have to deal with login queues. Also, be aware that third-party applications and the official Companion app may not be accessible correctly.
The Iron Banner struggled with bugs this weekend as well
What changes with Hotfix 4.1.0.2 in Season 17
What the hotfixbrings today: After Hotfix 4.1.0.2, guardians can expect the start of the revamped Iron Banner event. However, Bungie will likely address some bugs and issues first.
MeinMMO here lists some of the issues that Bungie is already aware of, as well as those our readers have pointed out:
The teleport did not work in the Iron Banner and kept sending you into a teleport loop
The Rift in the Iron Banner simply disappeared and was not respawned
Some players experience low frame rates when in their menus or in the navigator. This slows down menu interactions.
For more known issues, you can visit Bungie’s website.
If you notice any issues in the game, it is recommended to report them directly through the official Bungie Help forum to make the developers aware of them.
Patch Notes for Hotfix 4.1.0.2 in Destiny 2
What’s included in the patch notes? Bungie publishes the comprehensive list of all changes for Hotfix 4.1.0.2 in the form of patch notes. MeinMMO links the latest change log here.
If you notice any other issues in the game that hinder your gaming experience, feel free to leave a comment. Otherwise, let us know if you will be participating in the start of the Iron Banner event this evening.

Diablo Immortal offers various activities for players to farm loot. One of these activities includes the Hidden Lairs. But what is it exactly and where can I find it? MeinMMO reveals the answer in this guide.
What is a Hidden Lair? In Diablo Immortal, you can discover small, hidden caves, which when completed, reward you with loot. These caves are called Hidden Lairs and are akin to small event dungeons that can appear at various locations in the zones.
At the end of each lair, a boss awaits, and the rewards include Normal Gems.
MeinMMO shows you maps of potential locations of the Hidden Lairs and additional information about the random dungeons.

Diablo Immortal: Hidden Lairs – Locations with Maps
The maps of the areas with the marked locations of a Hidden Lair: In the following gallery, you can see the maps of the various areas of Sanctuary, with markings of places where a hidden lair may be found:

Notification indicates a Hidden Lair
How do I find the hidden lairs? When you approach a hidden lair, a message appears on your screen saying “A Hidden Lair has appeared in the area.” This message indicates that you can now find such a lair in the area you are currently traversing. To find it, you need to roam the area and try to locate the lair.
Additionally, an icon will be shown on the minimap when you are near a lair. This marks the entrance to a Hidden Lair.
You can recognize the entrance by its design. For example, you might notice a blue glow at a position. This serves as a hint for an entrance to a hidden lair.
You can also inspect the entrance when you move your mouse cursor over it and quickly determine that something special awaits you at that spot.
If you are interested in more about Diablo Immortal:
Where can Hidden Lairs appear? A hidden lair appears at a set position. However, since there are numerous potential fixed positions, the location where a Hidden Lair appears is not always the same.
For example, in the Dark Forest, there are 9 different positions where a Hidden Lair can be. So if you receive the message that a hidden lair is nearby, you must check the positions where the lair can appear.
No Hidden Lair can appear in the areas of Westmark and Wortham. Here is a list of the areas where the small loot adventures currently (as of June 7, 2022) appear.
Why should I play Hidden Lairs? A Hidden Lair offers a quick way to obtain loot and rewards. However, this is only the case if you stumble upon a lair by chance. Actively seeking out Hidden Lairs is rarely worthwhile.
The small dungeons are a reliable source for Normal Gems and also grant decent experience points. However, they are often difficult to find.
Battlefield 2042 finally starts this week in Season 1, over 6 months after release. MeinMMO author Marko Jevtic got to test the new content and finds: it is going in the right direction, but too slowly. And the new map curiously has a lot of symbolic power.
Update: In the original version of this article, I quoted the developers saying that they identified “4 barriers.” After publication, I realized that they probably meant “areas” instead of “barriers,” and I misunderstood the developers. The content of this text has been adjusted accordingly.
On the evening of June 6, I was able to play the first season of Battlefield 2042 alongside other journalists and content creators. This finally starts on Thursday, June 9, after more than 6 months. And there could hardly be a heavier burden on this new content.
Because Battlefield 2042 has been in a real crisis since release. The developers at the preview event avoided words like “flop” or “failed,” but their carefully chosen phrases made it clear that they do not find the current state of the shooter to be good either. After some delay, Season 1 is supposed to change that.
Battlefield 2042 Season 1: “Zero Hour” brings map, specialist, and 2 new weapons
Season 1, titled “Zero Hour,” is DICE and EA’s biggest attempt yet to turn the tide. But is it enough to still save Battlefield 2042 contrary to my expectations? You can already decide in advance by watching the confident trailer for Season 1:
Start video
Battlefield 2042 explained with Season 1 of the Crisis – Shows new weapons, map, and combat helicopter in the trailer
Key innovations in Zero Hour include:
2 new weapons: a versatile DMR & a crossbow
1 new map: Exposure, whose main feature is the verticality
2 new stealth helicopters
The new anti-vehicle specialist, Lis, and her TV-guided rocket
1 new gadget, the smoke grenade launcher
After I was able to play for about 2.5 hours in advance, I have to draw a divided conclusion. For although I had a lot of fun with the new content, the innovations are too few in total to fully convince me. The numerous adjustments in response to negative feedback paradoxically emphasize how many fundamental issues have already gone wrong.
DICE identifies 4 areas for improvement in Battlefield 2042
When I listened to the developers’ presentation of Zero Hour, I had a very sobering thought. For with all DICE’s explanations of how many fundamental errors in Battlefield 2042 will be adjusted, I noticed:
I have never experienced a live service game where the live service is primarily a complete overhaul of the game.
DICE started the presentation by clearly naming “4 areas” that need improvement:
the maps
the game modes
the core gameplay
content
They want to radically improve these areas but, according to their own statement, need time to do so.
The Battle Pass works with weekly challengesYou can unlock all gameplay content for freeThe new skins aim to depict more realistic soldiersImpressions from the Battle Pass for Season 1
This is how the game is gradually to be “unleashed” from the major feature of 128 players, so that the focus for future maps is instead solely on 64-player modes. Old maps will get more cover (starting with Kaleidoscope in August). The future new maps will also be designed to be smaller.
Construction site on a pile of rubble: New map with involuntary symbolism
The developers from DICE proudly stated that Exposure is the best map in Battlefield 2042 so far. And after I played it, I can easily agree, even if the bar was certainly not set high with the original maps.
Exposure excels mainly due to its high verticality. You fight through deep gorges up to the peaks, with almost labyrinthine lab complexes and the associated tunnels in the middle. This vertical “cake design” works very well, as it clearly separates areas for vehicles and close combat areas for infantry.
On the new map, you can also see how much better Battlefield 2042 plays when the map is smaller and has more cover. Debris piles everywhere caused by a landslide and construction vehicles, which are supposed to restore order to the crisis area.
Tunnels like this offer a way through the high mountainThe most intense close-quarters battles take place in the Command CenterThe new map has significantly more coverExposure takes place in the Canadian Rockies after a landslideImpressions of the new map “Exposure”
But as good as it plays, this image of a construction site on a pile of rubble will involuntarily become a symbolic image of Battlefield 2042 in June 2022. Battlefield 2042 feels like it needs to be completely reinvented in live service, to the point where I couldn’t shake the feeling while playing that I was more in an active construction site than a finished shooter.
The UI is partially completely different from when it launched, the design philosophy of the maps has turned 180 degrees, even the specialists are now completely silent at the end of the game following disastrous feedback (thankfully).
Yes, these are all changes for the better, and you can clearly see how much the developers are now putting in the effort to eventually realize the full potential of the shooter. But it is exactly in this transitional process that the game feels even more fleeting, hollow, and at times even soulless. It’s as if you are watching live as a patient is being hastily put back together by a surgeon on the operating table.
Battlefield 2042 is going in a good direction, but in too slow steps
The other innovations in the game follow the same principle: the new content is in itself good and clearly shows that the developers under new leadership likely understand what Battlefield 2042 needs. But there is far too little content to eliminate all the fundamental problems with the game.
Let’s take the new weapons as an example. The BSV-M is essentially the AS VAL, which you can already use in Battlefield Portal. However, it is very flexible and adaptable thanks to the attachment system in Battlefield 2042.
Standardly, this weapon is a semi-automatic DMR that can deliver quite a punch at medium distances. With a few adjustments to the attachments and switching the fire mode, it turns into an aggressive SMG with a high rate of fire in just a few seconds.
The new weapon excels due to the flexible attachment system
This is exactly the strength of the Plus system and a great showcase of the flexibility I have always appreciated in Battlefield 2042. But it’s only one truly new weapon. The crossbow is primarily a neat gimmick for players who enjoy that kind of gameplay. At least the explosive arrows can also damage vehicles.
Even the best new weapon will not improve the old maps, nor will it make the specialists fit better into the gameplay. This also applies to the new specialist Lis, who is supposed to curb the dominance of helicopters with a steerable rocket and automatic markings of enemy vehicles. Like all specialists in the game, she falls into the category: nice idea, but it doesn’t fit into the game.
And that’s how it went in my play session. I initially had fun with the new content, but after about 1.5 hours, I lost interest again. Especially when the bots were activated for my last rounds, I knew again why I felt that Battlefield had lost its appeal for me.
The players are mostly gone and prefer to play 6-year-old shooters. That’s why I’m even shooting at dumb bots with the latest weapons. And this unsatisfying feeling of having to fight against AI soldiers because the player community hardly exists is unfortunately the reality in Battlefield 2042 before the launch of Season 1.

In the podcast, we discussed the situation of Battlefield 2042 in detail
The new content of the first season is good, especially the new map. But whether this is enough for real players to populate the servers instead of all these bots starting Thursday, I doubt. Also due to the generally catastrophic mood.
Season 1 of Battlefield 2042 with its new content will be released for free to all players on Thursday, June 9. The season will run for 12 weeks. If you want to get started, our weapon recommendation still applies:
Diablo Immortal has launched on mobile and PC. But will the action MMO also come to Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X? We summarize all the information for you.
Since June 2, 2022, you can play the new action MMO Diablo Immortal on PC, iOS, and Android. The game aims to bring the typical hack-and-slash gameplay to mobile devices. So you can smash plenty of enemies and then collect loot.
However, on Switch, PS4, PS5, and Xbox, you currently have to forgo Diablo Immortal. MeinMMO explains what you need to know about a possible console version.
No console version is planned yet, but there are hints
Is Diablo Immortal coming to Switch, PS5, and Xbox? For those eagerly hoping for a console version after the release of Diablo Immortal, we must first disappoint you. According to Peiwen Yao (Executive Producer of Diablo Immortal), no console version is currently planned. In the interview with MeinMMO, he explains:
We are launching on mobile and PC, and the controller support is intended for these two platforms. At the moment, we have nothing to share about consoles.
Is the game not coming to consoles at all? The developers haven’t completely ruled it out. Franchise General Manager Rod Fergusson of Blizzard explained:
I would like to point out that supporting controllers and supporting consoles are very different things. Basically, I’m someone who never says never, but we have nothing to announce or discuss today.
What speaks for a console version? Currently, you can also play all major games in the Diablo series – Diablo 3 and Diablo 2: Resurrected – on consoles. Some believe it is likely that Diablo Immortal could also come to consoles. In the end, the developers want to base a release on the success of the game.
Additionally, Blizzard had surprised many gamers with the release on PC. Many had assumed that the new Diablo game could only be played on mobile. In a stream, Wyatt Cheng, the Game Director, also explained that Diablo Immortal will be a AAA game intended to be accessible to as many players as possible. It aims to be the biggest Diablo yet. This statement also indicates that a version for Switch, PS4, PS5, and Xbox is not out of the question.
However, we consider a soon release of Diablo Immortal for Switch, PS5, and Xbox to be very unlikely. The development focus is clearly on mobile devices, as shown by the current beta on PC.
Diablo Immortal is “Mobile First” and PC is still in beta
When could a console version come? Definitely not in 2022. At the earliest in 2023, and that’s not certain either. The developers had already stated before the release that the focus would remain on mobile devices: They want players on PC to have a better experience than with an emulator, and in development, Diablo Immortal is being developed for Mobile.
This is also evident in the current PC version. Although Diablo Immortal was released on June 2, you can initially only play an open beta on PC. This means many systems are still being tested, and there may be errors. Also, some comfort features that we know from real PC MMORPGs are missing in the hack-and-slash game.
What do you think? Would you be excited about Diablo Immortal on consoles? Or is the game (for now) enough for you on PC and mobile?

Did Blizzard lie? Technically, Cheng did not lie when he said, “You cannot upgrade gear with money.” However, he took the question very literally and not figuratively.
The actual meaning of the question was rather: “Can I spend money to become significantly better in Diablo Immortal?”
He should have answered this question from the start with “Yes, you can.” Then the situation would have been clearer.
That Wyatt Cheng has to deal with this now, who already gained notoriety at BlizzCon in gaming history, seems bitter:
According to Cheng, there are still “a lot of misinformation” about Diablo Immortal circulating that he needs to refute. He accepts criticism of the game, but not misinformation.

The Twitch streamer Asmongold has made it clear in a clip how easily one can obtain gems by investing money. Thus, one cannot “directly” buy items, but indirectly significantly increase the chance of good items through financial investment.
This is a particularly harsh representation. As MeinMMO expert Benedict Grothaus says, this is not quite fair because even as a “F2P” player, one has opportunities to increase their drop rates. Asmongold deliberately portrays this harshly:

Did Blizzard lie? Technically, Cheng did not lie when he said, “You cannot upgrade gear with money.” However, he took the question very literally and not figuratively.
The actual meaning of the question was rather: “Can I spend money to become significantly better in Diablo Immortal?”
He should have answered this question from the start with “Yes, you can.” Then the situation would have been clearer.
That Wyatt Cheng has to deal with this now, who already gained notoriety at BlizzCon in gaming history, seems bitter:

According to Cheng, there are still “a lot of misinformation” about Diablo Immortal circulating that he needs to refute. He accepts criticism of the game, but not misinformation.

The Game Director of Diablo Immortal, Wyatt Cheng, has become known for his quote “Don’t you guys have phones?” Now he is faced with another statement. Months before the release, he promised: In Diablo Immortal (PC, iOS, Android), one cannot obtain items for money. However, in the eyes of many, this is not true. Now he has to justify his statement.
That was the situation before the release:
In the months leading up to the release of Diablo Immortal, many Blizzard fans had reservations about the game: They believed it could be a mobile game with nasty Pay2Win mechanics for the Asian market.
Game Director Wyatt Cheng repeatedly contradicted this. He said: The team invested years of blood and sweat into the game. It hurts him that so much “misinformation” is circulating.
Cheng stated: Many accusations were fabricated. There is no way to obtain or upgrade equipment in Diablo Immortal if you invest money.
Here you can see a new area in Diablo Immortal:
Blizzard says: We only talked about equipment, not about gems
This is what he says now: Cheng is confronted with exactly this statement he made months ago in a Blue post on the Blizzard forum. A streamer asks: What has happened in the past 4 months? Don’t gems count as equipment?
Cheng responds:
I was quite open in many interviews (but apparently not in this post) that when I talked about equipment, I meant the items in the 12 item slots. In many interviews, I made it clear that you can upgrade gems and legendary gems with money. I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear.
Cheng further states: For the team, it remains important that one cannot buy any of the 12 equipment items or XP in Diablo Immortal.

Canadian Félix “xQc” Lengyel started his professional career in Blizzard’s Overwatch. Now he is the most viewed Twitch streamer in the world, but he has his problems with the Steam hit Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. In a new Twitch clip, xQc proves to be the worst team member that one could have in CS:GO. Over 4 million people have watched the clip.
What kind of situation is this?
xQc is actually an experienced shooter player. But he gained that experience in games like Overwatch, which catered to all players, not just professional gamers. The game CS:GO (2012) is considered a tough e-sport shooter with an unusual gameplay style.
xQc is in a Twitch stream with a teammate in a match; they are both discussing their tactics over voice chat. Everything goes wrong for xQc, but he stays calm and doesn’t show how badly he’s performing.
xQc is a full professional, but every now and then he messes up and has to face the consequences:

The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused a lot of commotion
Every action by xQc harms teammates – In the end, he kills one
How does xQc make himself look like a noob? Right away, 3 actions go wrong for the star streamer:
He wants to throw a Molotov cocktail at the enemy, but misses his aim; the molly bounces off and puts his own teammate in a tight spot. However, xQc denies having thrown the molly when asked.
When the teammate asks him to throw his Molotov cocktail now, xQc instead throws a flashbang – once again hitting his own teammate, but he shows no signs of it.
While the teammate complains that “he’s blind”, xQc goes on the attack, but shoots his own teammate in the head – just seconds before he himself gets killed. The teammate wonders why the enemies can blind and kill him so accurately.

The comedy arises from the fact that his teammate attributes everything that happens to him to a superior opponent, while in reality, it is all the result of xQc’s mistakes.
The viewer and xQc know this – only the teammate does not, and remains unaware of it.
Even in the seconds after the clip ends, his teammate is still completely astonished at how extremely good the opponents were – they must have apparently been “real sweaters”.
xQc still shows no signs of it, just smiles at the situation and nervously chews on his fingers.
V Rising has conquered Steam and Twitch at release. Even now, tens of thousands are regularly playing the new vampire survival game. MeinMMO spoke with one of the players who invested a lot of time in V Rising.
Who is the player? mrdrpinhead is one of the first players to have achieved everything in V Rising. Shortly after the release, we reported on how he completed V Rising in 5 days with 9 hours of playtime per day. To “complete” the game, here’s what it includes:
the maximum equipment level of 85
all 9 servants with an equipment level of 83
the possession of all soul shards available on a (PvP) server
We asked mrdrpinhead some questions about how exactly he managed this and what difficulties he faced in his achievement. He also gives some tips for newcomers.
In our video, you’ll find everything you need to know about V Rising in 2 minutes:

All info about the new vampire survival MMO ‘V Rising’ on Steam – in 2 minutes
“Incredible for an early access game”
MeinMMO: Why did you choose V Rising and why do you play so much in such a short time?
mrdrpinhead: I had no idea that V Rising was coming out soon. When I saw a Twitch streamer playing it, I was immediately interested. I played so much because I really enjoyed the game and there’s just so much content!
MeinMMO: What do you think is the best feature of V Rising?
mrdrpinhead: It’s hard to name just one feature because the developers made so many good decisions. For an early access game, V Rising is really incredibly well made. But personally, I love how unique the spells are and the categories they fall into.
MeinMMO: How often were you killed by other players?
mrdrpinhead: When I started, I wasn’t killed by other players at all. I only started dying when I reached the endgame and started raiding other players. Since I leveled up very quickly, I was far ahead of other players, but I was also friendly to newcomers.
Later, I formed a clan with another endgame player, Erees, who was actually faster than me with the end bosses. When he saw that I was directly following him, we joined forces. At the start of our journey, we both went solo.
MeinMMO: How much progress have you lost through dying or being raided?
mrdrpinhead: I didn’t die until I reached the end, and when I was there, I was in a clan with Erees. We had so many equipment sets that we would have had to die over 100 times to really lose progress. Unfortunately, no one tried to raid Erees and me. Everyone was either friendly towards us or deterred by our 9 servants at level 83.
Only one weapon for victory – How do you get so good?
MeinMMO: What build did you use for leveling and later for the bosses?
mrdrpinhead: I played the entire game with the crossbow and with a “kiting” strategy. My spells were chaos bolt, blood bolt, and as ultimate the unstable spider. My travel skill was the chaos veil.
mrdrpinhead: I played solo on my solo/duo server until I reached the last 3 bosses. Only then did I meet Erees, who was the first to acquire all 3 soul shards.
MeinMMO: How long do you think it would take you on a PvE server?
mrdrpinhead: With everything I know now, I think I would be done in about 24-48 hours.
MeinMMO: Tips for beginners?
mrdrpinhead: Focus on having fun! I started because I was curious and the game turned out to be one of the best 20 investments I ever made!
MeinMMO: Thank you for the answers!

Stunlock Studios, the developers behind V Rising, already have plans for the future. They promise larger updates that will take longer but will also bring more content. No more small hotfixes with just a few improvements.
Another area is already visible in the east of the map, though it’s still uncertain what lies there. Possibly a new boss, a new tier of materials, and maybe even a new blood type will come there. But it’s still unclear when that will be.
If you’ve finished with V Rising, you might find alternatives in our list until the first big update appears:
In Final Fantasy XIV, a new content patch was released on June 7 that brought a number of new quests. However, many players’ focus was on a certain NPC that they would soon be able to undress.
This is the NPC in question: Ameliance Leveilleur is an NPC who first appeared on the stage of FFXIV with the Endwalker expansion. She is the mother of the two main NPCs, twins Alphinaud and Alisaie, who have accompanied the player character since its first moment in the MMORPG.
Together with the twins, players have experienced countless adventures and faced dangers. As the main threat of the story has been temporarily eliminated in Endwalker, things are now a bit calmer in the game, and Ameliance has decided to take on a small project.
However, she needs a skilled craftsman for this, and the Warriors of Light are eager to assist her.
These are Wish Deliveries: In Wish Deliveries, players bring high-quality collectible items to a specific NPC, which they can exchange for reputation, EXP, and crafter currency. Starting with patch 6.15, Ameliance is also one of these NPCs.
“I will deliver new siblings to Alphi and Alisaie”
This is what players say: Ameliance is a character that quickly became popular among players. Unlike her gruff and strict husband, Fourchenault, she is kind-hearted and does not let him dictate terms to her.
While her husband disinherits his children, she welcomes the twins and the player character into her house and has actually always supported them financially in the past. Accordingly, many players were very pleased that she is now available as an NPC for wish deliveries.

“Your marriage ends in 24 hours,” posted 24 hours before the servers come back online after the update maintenance (left: Ameliance, right: Fourchenault).
On Twitter and Reddit, FFXIV players shared their excitement for the update and the fact that they can now bring “Mommy” Ameliance everything her NPC heart desires. Fourchenault takes on the role of the jealous husband, who must watch as his wife is bombarded with gifts.
The official Twitter post promoting Ameliance as a delivery NPC received over 3,400 upvotes and comments expressing excitement for “the Mommy”:
“I will deliver new siblings to Alphi and Alisaie.” – @TrueVileblood
“Only 2 more days until everyone can wear their 2B stockings.” – @FFStudentLoans
“Yoshida will regret this decision.” – @saiyan_dave
This is what’s behind it: The crux of the delivery NPCs is that players were able to change their clothes once they reached maximum reputation (at least some of them). The selection of clothes for the NPCs was mostly unrestricted.
Basically, anything was possible as long as players had the items in their inventory, and the NPC matched the appropriate gender and race.
Accordingly, some NPCs quickly had almost all their clothing stripped off at the players’ request:

The announcement of Ameliance as a delivery NPC will undoubtedly lead to her being stripped by a portion of the player base as soon as it becomes possible, even if it may take a few months.
Because wish deliveries have a weekly cap on items that can be submitted. Therefore, it will take some time before players can reach the highest reputation level with Ameliance to be able to undress her.

A modder shows how Ameliance could look after the wish deliveries.
Actually, the update has even more content…
This content is also new: The wish deliveries to Ameliance are just one part of the update (via official site), which includes several quest lines:
The popular NPC Alpha receives his own quest line called “Omega (Epilogue)”, which starts with the quest “A Heartless Hypothesis” in Alt-Sharlayan (X: 10.9, Y: 14.3). However, players must first complete the Omega raid.
NPC Tataru starts her own manufacturing operation and needs help. Her starting quest is called “Prosperity That Connects the World” and starts in Alt-Sharlayan (X: 11.8, Y: 9.8).
The popular detective Hildibrand is finally back and once again spreads chaos in FFXIV. You can find his starting quest in Radz-at-Han (X: 12.3, Y: 10.7), called “What Shines and Has Manners?” You must first complete the previous Hildi quests.
The Arakasa people receive their own quest line, starting with the quest “The Rampaging Hippos of Thavnair” in Thavnair (X: 25.3, Y: 31.2).
In addition, ninjas and black mages receive balance adjustments in PvP and the new mode Crystalline Conflict:
Ninjas can no longer sprint invisibly because the “Hide” effect from Shukuchi has been removed. The healing effect of Meisui has also been reduced by 2,000 HP.
The 2 charges of Paradox and the movement speed debuff from Nightshade have been removed for black mages. The additional effect of Apokatastasis of Soul Resonance has been reduced back to 10%. This means that the devs have reversed some of the black mage’s crazy buffs from the last patch.
There are also new mounts and companions as well as furniture for players’ houses, and in FFXIV the “Gold Saucer” event is currently active, where you can earn more MGP for cosmetic items.
While some members of the community are looking forward to the wish deliveries at Ameliance, others are watching a group of WoW raiders tackle the hardest raid in FFXIV:
A company has introduced a unique keyboard. Here, you can assemble all the parts you want. However, this comes with a disadvantage.
Keyboards are among the devices that are most frequently customized. There are keyboards in different sizes, various key switches for gaming keyboards, and also keycaps in many variations.
A company has now introduced a keyboard that you can assemble like Lego. Here, you screw all the parts onto the mainboard yourself and insert the keys. However, the price starts at 250 euros and additional upgrades come at a significant extra cost.
Company offers modular keyboard for 250 euros
Who has introduced what? The company Work Louder offers keyboards that you can fully customize. The keyboard consists of a total of 3 main keyboards that you can arrange and insert on the mainboard yourself.
The set consists of a plate for the main part of the keyboard, as well as a nano pad and a loop pad. These individual sections can then be equipped with different keys or buttons, depending on what you want to do with the keyboard later.
Two views of the new keyboard from “Work Louder”
You can also buy additional keys or buttons through the shop, which you can also mount on one of the three keyboards. For the starter set of the base keyboard and the board, Work Louder charges around 250 euros.
If you want the whole package, including all three keyboards and additional keys, it will cost 400 US dollars (about 380 euros). This is quite a bit of money for customization.
Not a real product for gamers, but rather aimed at creative individuals
Who is the keyboard actually aimed at? Primarily, Work Louder targets creators and developers. The manufacturer offers some keys and buttons that are more work-oriented. For example, there are keys with a paintbrush or other symbols that you might recognize from Photoshop.
The layout of the keyboard may also be unusual for gamers. The keys are, unlike standard keyboards, not recessed but lie straight in line. The space bar is noticeably smaller, and keys like CTRL, Shift, or the Tab key are also smaller.
However, many of these keys are of course also suitable for apps and games, allowing you to program corresponding macros. While the product does not specifically target gamers, Work Louder has stated that you can adjust the RGB lighting.
Are you looking for a ‘real’ gaming keyboard for your desk? Then check it out here. Here we present the best keyboards you can currently buy:
Throughout the story of Diablo Immortal, you have to solve a puzzle where you light up 9 lamps at the same time. We will show you the solution on MeinMMO with an image. Additionally, a note on how to reset the lamps if you have lit one incorrectly.
The story of Diablo Immortal takes you through the entire world of the game and does not shy away from minor logic puzzles. They don’t take as long as the XP walls, but they can be an obstacle.
In one of the puzzles, you have to light up 9 lamps at the same time. However, the lamps not only ignite, they also extinguish each other.
The solution to the quest “Lost Runes” in Zoltan’s Library can be found here:
1. Lamp: Top left
2. Lamp: Bottom right
3. Lamp: Middle
4. Lamp: Top right
5. Lamp: Bottom right
We have also illustrated the solution for you in an image:
This is what the solution to the lamp puzzle looks like in the image.
If you have ignited the wrong lamp, you can reset the lamps at the altar next to the puzzle. However, you can also leave the quest area and come back later.
Diablo Immortal is a full-fledged Diablo on smartphones for iOS and Android. Additionally, a version for PC is available in the Battle.net Launcher.
As usual in Diablo, you fight your way through hordes of demons with one of 6 classes, while foregoing the usual courtesies. Everything revolves around loot, equipment upgrades, and demonic exorcisms.

This event is about: The Spotlight Hour takes place weekly, always on Tuesday evenings. During this hour, a specific Pokémon is in focus and appears more frequently.
The first Spotlight Hour in June features the monster Nasgnet. It belongs to the Rock-type Pokémon and comes with a candy bonus.
Spotlight Hour with Nasgnet – Start, Bonuses & Shiny
When does the Spotlight Hour start? As usual, the Spotlight Hour starts today at 6:00 PM. At this time, numerous Nasgnet will appear for 60 minutes, until 7:00 PM when it ends.
What bonuses are available? During the Nasgnet Hour, you will receive double the amount of Catch Candies. This applies not only to Nasgnet but also to any other Pokémon you catch. Accordingly, you can also earn double candies from Raid bosses or Meltan from the Mystery Box during this time.
Is there a Shiny Nasgnet? Yes, the Shiny Nasgnet is available in Pokémon GO. However, you need a lot of luck to encounter it.
How strong is Nasgnet: Nasgnet itself is not particularly interesting in Raids or PvP. However, its evolution Voluminas has at least a place in the Super and Hyper League – it ranks in the upper midfield of the best Pokémon there.
For whom is the Spotlight Hour worth it? In terms of stats, neither Nasgnet nor Voluminas are really standout Pokémon. Therefore, this hour is more for collectors who want to test their Shiny luck.
However, the candy bonus is very interesting. Especially if you want to obtain strong monsters in Raids, you can benefit from the double candies.
In addition to the Spotlight Hour, the Adventure Week in Pokémon GO also begins today. Here you can find out everything about the event.
