A champion is currently dominating the low Elo in LoL – What makes him so strong?

Alexander Leitsch 15. June 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In League of Legends, the new champion Bel’Veth was released about a week ago. However, the jungler is particularly a tough opponent for players in Elo up to Gold. Statistics show how dominant she currently is. Riot Games is responding and plans significant nerfs for the next patch. Yet, she can still cause chaos for one more week.

How strong is Bel’Veth? Statistics paint a very dominant picture of the new champion Bel’Veth in the ranks Iron up to and including Silver:

With a 55% win rate, she currently has the highest win rate in the game.
No champion is currently picked as often as Bel’Veth. She appears in nearly 24% of all matches.
In another 56% of games, she is banned. The second highest ban rate is Zed with nearly 35% (via LeagueOfGraphs).

This dominance is also perceived by the developers themselves. August, the lead champion designer of Riot Games, shared in a tweet that Bel’Veth is “very strong in low MMR.” Accordingly, patch notes for the upcoming nerf have also been shared (via Twitter).

So, anyone currently playing in low Elo as a jungler should take a look at Bel’Veth. However, she is not as present in high Elo, where the ban rate even rises to 61.4% in matches in Platinum or higher.

Autoplay

Bel’Veth Dominates in Low Elo

What makes her so strong? Bel’Veth has a strong mechanic to gank lanes.

She can jump in four different directions with her “Q,” with each direction having its own cooldown. If she hits an enemy with her “W,” the cooldown for that direction resets, allowing her to jump after the enemy. Her “W” also knocks the enemy up and slows them.

With her “E,” she can quickly take down objectives like the blue and red buffs, dragons, herald, and Baron. This is particularly important in low Elo, as teams are not yet coordinated enough and she can sometimes stay alone at such objectives for a longer time.

Moreover, her passive ability scales infinitely, providing her with constantly increasing attack speed. Combined with her ultimate, this makes her a strong champion.

What are her problems? Bel’Veth is weaker in the jungle than other champions. This allows good players to counter-jungle or even secure kills in a one-on-one scenario. This makes her weaker in high Elo, where opponents track the paths taken by enemy junglers more effectively and work better as a team.

Additionally, she heavily relies on her items. If she is not equipped quickly enough with good items, she falls behind in the mid and late game.

The renowned LoL coach LS referred to her as a “beast in solo queue,” but weak when it comes to team play and coordinated matches. This is consistent with the statistics, as from Diamond onward, Bel’Veth currently has a win rate of 48.6% – placing her 117th out of 160.

Nerfs are intended to make her more bearable in low Elo

What changes are being made to Bel’Veth? With the upcoming patch 12.12, Riot plans several nerfs to the new champion:

She will receive only 7 +0.7/lvl health regeneration (currently 8.5 + 0.85/lvl) in her attributes.
The value of attack damage per stack will be reduced.
A bug with her “Q” will be fixed.
The damage per hit from her “E” will be reduced from 8-20 to 8-16.
In her ultimate, the damage scaling with missing health, bonus attack range, and health points will be reduced.

In return, she will gain a slightly increased range with auto-attacks and can also gain stacks from large minions with her passive.

When will the nerf be released? The new patch 12.12 is set to be released on Thursday, June 23.

Are people happy with the nerf? No. The LoL streamer Christian “IWDominate” Rivera criticized that the changes are too focused on low Elo (via Twitter). For him, Bel’Veth is currently the worst jungler in the game.

With these changes, it could now happen that she will not play a role in high Elo or in tournaments.

What do you think of Bel’Veth so far? What are your experiences with the new champion? Is she really too strong or rather too weak? Let us know in the comments.

Junglers are currently having a tough time in LoL anyway. This is also echoed by the pro Broxah, who explains why even good junglers often receive hate:

Mark Sellner 15. June 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

The survival game R aft is not only known for being a relatively cozy representative of the genre, but it is also one of the most popular games of its kind. Now the game is finally “finished” and is receiving its largest update to date. We at MeinMMO summarize it.

What kind of game is this? The survival adventure Raft started in early access on Steam on May 23, 2018. Since then it has received constant updates and has become increasingly popular among fans. Of the currently 148,119 user reviews, a whopping 93% are positive, placing it among the most popular survival games on the platform.

You start in Raft with nothing and must build a life from there and try not to die. You will face dangers from animals and even sharks, as a large part of your playtime is spent on the namesake raft.

This raft can be continuously upgraded and transformed into your floating base, with which you navigate the world and sustain yourself. The graphic style of Raft is colorful and inviting and radiates a sense of calm.

What makes the game so good has also been aptly explained by my colleague Maik Schneider.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new update:

Included are numerous new features and an ending for the story of the survival game that fans have long been waiting for. Additionally, there are the following new contents:

New locations, including an underwater city, a village in the snow, and a high-tech city in a dome, as well as skyscrapers
New playable characters
Many new “Quality of Life” improvements
New enemy types

The fans already love the update

What is the mood in the community? As much as one might try, negative comments under the announcement of the update are nowhere to be found. The fans are excited for the grand finale of their raft adventure and can hardly wait to explore the new environments.

The mood is overwhelmingly positive, and especially the new locations and the developers are constantly praised in the comments. People are looking forward to returning to the game and having something new to do again.

What do the players say? Some of the comments that you can find under the announcement trailer on YouTube we would like to share here:

N0T_NOVA writes: “I am so hyped! Raft is an incredible game with a cool narrative and a great progression system. One of the best games you can play with friends.”
Matt Voelker writes: “I started a long time ago when the radio tower was the end of the story. It was a long journey and a fun outing. It’s always nice to see a game that you initially gave a chance, make it to the end. It feels like I backed the right horse.”
OPolo704 says: “Let’s go! Raft is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with video games. I’m so excited for the final chapter and will grind it hard!”

Do not break down Legendaries in Diablo Immortal: A very useful merchant is often overlooked

Maik Schneider 15. June 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

In Diablo Immortal, everything revolves around the best loot and the perfect equipment. In the game, there is a very useful vendor who is a great help in creating builds, but is not explained in the guide: Essence Transfer. We will explain what the vendor offers and why he is the best friend of Legendary hunters on MeinMMO.

What is Essence Transfer? The vendor “Zamina” is located in the south of Westmarch and is responsible for Essence Transfer in Diablo Immortal.

The mechanic allows you to save the legendary effects of each Legendary of a class and apply them to other Legendaries. It is actually quite affordable and allows you to reconfigure Legendaries.

For example, with the Necromancer, the legendary helm “Face of the Faceless” becomes the Legendary “Crown of the Golden Belt”. The new item takes on the attributes and magical effects of the old Legendary but has the legendary effect of the new Legendary.

The two Legendaries only need to be the same type of equipment – a helm remains a helm. Otherwise, the mechanic is very user-friendly and allows you a lot of experimentation. How exactly this works, you will find out here.

You can find out more about the important Legendary Gems in our video:

Diablo Immortal: Essence Transfer Makes the Best Legendaries

How Does Extracting Work? Take a Legendary that you no longer need and would normally break down. Open the map in Westmarch and look for the “Essence Transfer” in the legend on the left. Let yourself be navigated to the vendor.

Talk to the vendor and open the menu for “Essence Transfer”. Using the option “Extract”, you can save legendary effects. Under “Bestow”, you’ll then reconfigure the Legendaries.

Look for the Legendary in the extraction list that you have in your inventory and click on it. In the “required materials” field, place the item and confirm.

For 3,000 gold, you extract the effect, and the inserted Legendary is destroyed in the process. However, you can now always access the saved effect without restrictions.

How Does Bestowing Work? Once you have saved/extracted the effect, you can now turn any Legendary from the corresponding equipment slot into the saved Legendary.

Attributes and magical effects remain the same. But the appearance and legendary effect will be transferred.

Click on the Legendary you want to change in the “Bestow” menu, select the essence you want the Legendary to transform into in the next menu, and you now have the desired legendary effect on your item.

If the attributes and magical effects are correct, but you do not have the desired legendary effect yet, then put the item in the chest and take it out again once you have the essence.

When reconfiguring Legendaries, Diablo Immortal is very generous. You can save effects and reconfigure the items as often as you like – without additional costs.

Once the mechanic for class changing is in the game, however, you will lose your essence progress and have to grind the effects again. So choose your class wisely right now: Diablo Immortal: Tier List – Which is the best class?

You can’t break or lose anything here: Bestowing is free of charge, and you can reconfigure the item again. It is even possible to restore the Legendary back to what it originally was – without possessing the essence.

When Can I Break Down My Legendaries? Three things should fit for you to break down Legendaries without a guilty conscience:

You already have the legendary effect as essence
The attributes and magical effects on the Legendary do not fit
The overall stats of the Legendary are poor

Since you can reconfigure each Legendary, you should totally disregard the legendary effects when assessing the item.

If the attributes and magical effects are correct, but you do not have the desired legendary effect yet, then put the item in the chest and take it out again once you have the essence.

When reconfiguring Legendaries, Diablo Immortal is very generous. You can save effects and reconfigure the items as often as you like – without additional costs.

Franzi Korittke 15. June 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The legendary Pokémon Mewtwo is back in the raids of Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO show you the best attackers and their movesets in the raid guide.

When can you find it? Mewtwo will be available in Level 5 raids from June 16, 2022, to June 30, 2022.

Defeating Mewtwo in raids – The best counters

Mega-Gengar with Dark Claw and Shadow Ball
Shadow Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Mega-Houndoom with Overheat and Sucker Punch
Shadow Snorlax with Body Slam and Sucker Punch
Shadow Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
Mega-Gyarados with Bite and Crunch
Mega-Absol with Overheat and Dark Pulse

Mewtwo’s weaknesses: As Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Pokémon, it is particularly weak against the attacks of Bug, Ghost, and Dark types. Therefore, you should use these in battle to defeat it quickly.

Can you catch Shiny Mewtwo? Yes, with a bit of luck you might encounter a shiny Mewtwo after the raid. You can recognize it by its green belly and tail.

How many trainers are needed? To defeat Mewtwo, 3 trainers with at least Trainer Level 40 and the best counters are sufficient. However, we recommend having a few more trainers for a more relaxed battle.

Guardians mock the Lost Sectors in Destiny 2 – Hours of farming for nothing

Christos Tsogos 15. June 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, diligent Guardians can easily and quickly farm their beloved Exotics thanks to the Lost Sectors. They can be farmed daily in the constantly rotating sectors. However, the loot luck of many Guardians in these sectors is so miserable that they even make jokes about it now.

What is the problem with the Lost Sectors? Bungie introduced the legendary Lost Sectors to give players the opportunity to specifically farm for exotic armor.

Before the legendary Lost Sectors, Exotics could only be obtained from random sources, but with the new feature, that was supposed to come to an end. Players are to hunt for their personal God-Roll armor on their own and with a higher probability.

However, this is not entirely true in practice. While the chance of receiving a new seasonal armor piece is high, if you wish to farm previously acquired Exotic armors, be prepared for a long dilemma.

Players mock their terrible luck

How bad are the drop rates for an Exotic? Your luck in these sectors can be so poor that you could farm for hours without even seeing an Exotic.

The reaction from reddit user Samatari22 accurately describes the despair of many Guardians.

The Guardian fought through a legendary Lost Sector solo to have a chance at an Exotic. However, when he opened the chest, he got: Nothing. Absolutely nothing, not even a little Glimmer or an enhancement core. You can almost see the three big question marks over his head as he looks deeper into the truly empty loot chest. Still nothing! He describes his video as “Crazy Loot” that he managed to snag today in the sector.

Reddit user IamLeoKim comments under the video that the true treasure is not the Exotics, but the friendship developed up to the chest. Other Guardians are simply mocking this unacceptable state.

Although Bungie wants to provide players with a reliable source to farm Exotics, it feels like you have less luck in these sectors compared to the Open World.

There was even a Guardian on reddit who claims that players leave the sector too quickly and therefore do not receive loot. In his recording, he proves how many Exotics one could potentially receive if they simply stayed longer at the sector chest.

However, this is meant ironically, as it is just a trick that works thanks to the Destiny Item Manager. While he stands at the chest, he simply shifts his old gear from his own vault to his Guardian, creating the illusion of an endless flood of Exotic drops.

Despite this, it is a problem that affects the entire Destiny 2 community. Many simply want to farm their favorite Exotic with a fitting distribution for their build, but to not be rewarded for hours of effort is seen by many Guardians as an outrage.

What do you think? Do you find the loot luck in the sectors to be balanced and well-designed, or does it also get on your nerves and should Bungie do more? Let us know in the comments.

ARK: Survival Evolved surpasses 200,000 players on Steam – What makes the dino adventure so popular?

Dariusz Müller 15. June 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

ARK: Survival Evolved has been one of the most popular survival games on the market for years and still entertains numerous players in 2022. While fans await the release of the sequel, the player numbers of the dino adventure are skyrocketing. But why is ARK so popular in general?

What are the current player numbers? ARK Survival Evolved recently set a new record for player numbers on Steam. The previous highest value was 157,000 and came from March 2020.

On June 14, 222,500 players (as of June 15, 2022, via SteamCharts.com) were playing the survival title from Studio Wildcard. This is an enormous jump compared to the previous month of May, when player numbers on Steam peaked at 76,000 concurrent players.

Why is ARK being played more right now? There are three possible answers to this question:

Free promotion after the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase: The main reason for the current increase in player numbers is likely that ARK: Survival Evolved can be acquired for free on Steam until June 19, 2022 and can be retained even after this date.
New map and creatures: ARK recently received a new map called Fjördur and 4 new creatures, which is extremely popular among fans. The Fjördur release is especially an incentive for console players to return to the survival title. The map was already available on Steam as a mod version for months.
Delay of the ARK 2 release: The delay of ARK 2 has certainly had a small effect on player numbers, as players now know that they cannot expect an alternative to the game in the coming months.

“You can spend so much time in this game”

What makes ARK stand out? ARK offers survival fans a large selection of content in which they can invest time. Overall, ARK has 5 maps that must be purchased as DLC as well as 7 additional maps that have been officially released by Studio Wildcard but are available for free.

Additionally, the survival game impresses with a large and constantly growing selection of mystical creatures, dinosaurs, and other prehistoric animals. These can be tamed and bred, fought with or against, and ridden on.

Autoplay

Moreover, ARK is divided into PvP and PvE servers where you can either fight against other players or gigantic boss creatures. So there is more than enough to do, all within typical survival elements: you need to farm a lot of resources and craft almost everything you need to survive.

Additionally, there is support for mods created and provided by the community. This allows you to have a significantly larger number of maps, items, buildings, and creatures on Steam than the base game offers. In ARK 2, mods will even be available on consoles.

What do the positive reviews say: Anyone who has played ARK knows that the game has its problems. Nevertheless, player reviews are very good. Out of over 530,000 reviews on Steam, 82% are positive.

BamBam49 via Steam: “I can only recommend it. My grandson had ‘convinced’ me to play it, and now I play it with my daughter on a rented server. Although we are hundreds of kilometers apart, we meet daily on the island, hunt, tame, breed dinos, build, and have fun.”
Fate via Steam: “You can spend so much time in this game. Sure, it has its flaws, but which game doesn’t nowadays? There are also so many mods with which you can customize the game as you like.”
Sckorpiuss via Steam: “Ark is a great game since you have many options and there is a wide variety of creatures, most of which can also be tamed. […] There are also many free and paid DLCs that add more fun to the game. Unfortunately, it takes up a lot of disk space and requires good PC performance. Still, I can only recommend it if you are a fan of open-world survival craft games.”
blue-15 via Steam: “Dinosaurs are not really my thing. I played the game with my boyfriend and I really enjoy the joint hunting and building a base.”

If you are now starting ARK: Survival Evolved with the free offer on Steam and are looking for some tips, feel free to check out MeinMMO.

We have some helpful guides to the survival game from Studio Wildcard on the site, and we show you for example the 10 best dinos in ARK.

FIFA 23: Leak reveals an important detail that could make Ultimate Team much better

Max Handwerk 15. June 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The successor to FIFA 22 will apparently change how you can use your players in Ultimate Team. This is likely to have an impact on the formations in FIFA 23.

Where does the leak come from? The leak comes from Twitter user “FutSheriff”, who has proven to be particularly reliable with respect to events and new cards during FIFA 22.

On his channel, the leaker explains that FIFA 23 will likely introduce a change to Ultimate Team. Accordingly, the “Position Modifiers” are set to be changed.

This is how it has been so far: Currently, in FUT, there are various position modifiers – for example, from Striker (ST) to Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM), or also Left Winger (LW) to Left Midfielder (LM).

There are plenty of cards that could generally be used for any player, as long as he had the corresponding position on the card. With a lot of shuffling, you could even use a Mbappé as a Central Defensive Midfielder – which is nonsense from a real football perspective, but can be useful in terms of FUT chemistry.

Leak shows: Position changes will be more realistic

This is how it is supposed to be now: Instead of numerous modifiers, according to FutSheriff, FIFA 23 will only have a single modifier card that can be applied individually to each player.

However, these are not supposed to allow any position you want, but rather be based on the respective player. This would mean: Each player would have secondary positions in FUT 23 in addition to his normal position that he could switch to.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Twitter content

We already know these positions from Career Mode, where players often come with possible secondary positions.

How could this work? Let’s take the example of Mbappé: The forward has the positions “ST” and “LW” in Career Mode. He can thus be positioned as a forward, but can also switch to the wing.

This would now also be possible in FUT via the new modifier card and would open up entirely new possibilities in terms of formations – as there is currently no switch card for these positions. In the CDM, where he is sometimes found now, he is unlikely to appear there in the future, as this is none of his secondary positions.

Overall, this feature could bring a decent amount of realism to FUT if it is implemented as described. For some players, it would allow more freedom in position management, which could enable new teams. At the same time, it also takes away some options and you can’t push players into completely absurd positions as easily.

It should be noted that this is currently just a leak, not official information. Whether this feature will make it into the game as described and then be used as anticipated remains to be seen.

When exactly FIFA 23 will be released is still uncertain – but it is likely to be in the fall as usual. Will there also be new heroes? Here you can find 12 players who should appear as FUT heroes in FIFA 23.

Player compares how strong you will be in Diablo Immortal for 0 € – and how strong for 33,000 €

Benedict Grothaus 15. June 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

The monetization of Diablo Immortal is a huge topic that seems never to calm down. A player has now taken the effort to calculate exactly how significant the advantage is when paying. The result is surprising.

This is what the player says: In a thread on reddit, the user rwxwuxiaworld explains what advantages paying players have in PvE in Diablo Immortal. He addresses the large discussion regarding the Pay2Win factor in Immortal and places it in a somewhat better context.

According to his own statements, he has spent 1,000 dollars, approximately 950 euros, along with other players, calculated the strength of characters, up to an investment of around 33,000 euros.

The result is quite surprising. He says: The more you pay, the slower it goes. Or in other words: the more you pay, the more expensive it becomes on average to become stronger by one point in relation.

The combat rating limits progress

What is it about? Specifically, rwxwuxiaworld speaks of a system that is incredibly important in Diablo Immortal but is hardly explained: the combat rating. This determines how much damage you deal or receive.

In general, regarding combat rating: each point of rating that you are below the recommendation increases the damage you receive by 1%. Additionally, you deal less damage. Similar applies when you are above it.

In theory, it is possible to master challenges like higher portals or hell levels, but it becomes extremely difficult. To increase your combat rating, there are only limited options, as the user explains:

higher stats on the items – with resonance not playing a role
legendary gems that increase the rating
directly increasing the combat rating in the Hell Reliquary

This applies only to PvE. In PvP, the benefits are limited; systems like resonance count more, but that’s a completely different topic.

How far can I get without paying? Paying players have an advantage because they can more easily upgrade legendary items and gems. This provides a boost in combat rating. Rwxwuxiaworld lists the advantages you get with how much money:

completely Free2Play: combat rating of 1,368 possible, enough for Hell 2
Free2Play with Battle Pass: combat rating of 1,456
around 190 €: combat rating of 1,608
around 477 €: combat rating of 1,716
around 953 €: combat rating of 1,842
around 1,526 €: combat rating of 1,986
around 4,768 €: combat rating of 2,254
around 33,000 € (simulated, not tested): combat rating of 2,848

Keep in mind that these are not limits, but comparisons under similar conditions. He compares necromancers with similar gear at Paragon 30. However, with more money, better and stronger gems at higher ranks are possible, which affect the change in combat rating. Awakening legendary gems, on the other hand, has no impact.

You can also get the legendary gems for free. In the video, we explain how the mechanics behind it work:

What does that mean? According to the calculations, players who spend 33,000 euros would be at the same level as those who “only” spend 4,768 euros. Both would have to farm Hell 3 according to combat rating, with one just taking a little longer than the other. Hell 4 already requires a rating of 3,250.

From this point onward, however, a paying player would have to spend around 47 euros per point of improvement according to rwxwuxiaworld. At the beginning, it is only around 1-3 euros.

Limited grind is the big problem of Diablo Immortal

In theory, it is possible to progress further without paying. However, Diablo Immortal limits the grind through some restrictions.

For this reason, the actual character progress is capped as well. The higher your level, the slower you level up after a certain point. The reason is the so-called server Paragon.

Once you exceed the Paragon of the server, you receive less experience. At the same time, equipment is linked to a specific Paragon level, meaning you can only equip better items from these points onward.

Even paying players encounter these limits, and this is currently a significant concern for the community. MeinMMO author Maik Schneider has also addressed this issue:

I am now in the endgame of Diablo Immortal and suddenly Pay2Win is no longer the biggest problem

WoW: Shadow Priests receive a funny buff, can speak German again

Cortyn 15. June 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

An almost absurd-looking “buff” for Shadow Priests in World of Warcraft is on the way. When you think about it, it’s actually really important.

Shadow Priests in World of Warcraft deserve some buffs. One will be coming that nobody expected, as it does not affect damage, mobility, or survivability. Instead, it’s more of a communicative buff: Shadow Priests will learn to speak a proper language again.

Why was that a problem? The fact that Shadow Priests speak in the language of the Old Gods, Shath’Yar, while in their Void Form is a cool little detail. Instead of using comprehensible words in the say channel, they use the same language that the Old Gods like N’Zoth, Yogg-Saron, or C’Thun have used.

However, that can lead to problems when players rely on communication. Because: All other classes cannot understand the language of the Old Gods and only see gibberish in the Shadow Priest’s messages in the say channel.

The disadvantaged here are players who are strictly reliant on communication in the say channel. These include guilds that are not in voice chat, or players who simply cannot do so, for example, because they are deaf.

For these players, clear communication is important, and especially the speech bubbles in the say channel can generate a lot of attention and are a helpful tool for communication.

How does Blizzard plan to change that? The current plan is that Shadow Priests will again speak their normal language while in Void Form – either “Orcish” or “Common,” unless they use one of the special racial languages (Darnassian, Goblin, etc.).

Those who wish can restore the functionality and will then be able to use a new glyph. If this is used, the Priest will again speak in Shath’Yar during Void Form and can delight their allies once more with exclamations like “Mg’uulwi N’Zoth, eth’razzqi worg zz oou.”

WoW has also had some pretty absurd bugs in the past…

The adjustment is, by the way, one of the examples that were brought to Blizzard by the “Community Council.” Many feared back then that the Community Council would have no influence whatsoever or that suggestions would simply be ignored. However, the upcoming change shows the opposite.

What do you think about this change? A good thing that benefits all players? Or should this feature have remained mandatory?

Sweet Bunny temporarily takes over Twitter from Final Fantasy XIV – Fans plead: “Don’t leave us!”

Irina Moritz 15. June 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

The official Twitter account of Final Fantasy XIV was taken over on June 14 by the Loporrit Tweetingway, who had a day to play around there. Fans found the little role-playing action great and even started a petition for Tweetingway to stay permanently.

This is Tweetingway: On June 13, a tweet from the official FFXIV account announced that the entire community team would be busy the next day and that tweeting would be taken over by a special employee.

It turned out that this employee is a Loporrit named Tweetingway. The cute rabbit took over the official English account of FFXIV for one day and tweeted everything his little heart desired… Even though the first attempts were a bit wobbly and he had to check how tweeting actually works and how to post emojis.

What is a Loporrit? It is a race from FFXIV, created by the goddess Hydaelyn, that lives on the moon. They look like cute rabbits and have names that end with “-ingway” representing what they like or do. Puddingway loves pudding, Sleepingway likes to sleep, and Tweetingway posts tweets.

Throughout the day, Tweetingway posted a variety of tweets:

Polls about what type of carrots he should have for lunch (Spoiler: it was the red one),
asked players for their Loporrit names,
posted and retweeted drawings of himself, which triggered a flood of fan art,
looked for the Loporrit Puddingway, who had gone missing.

All in all, it was an eventful day. In the end, Tweetingway thanked everyone for the many kind messages and said goodbye again.

In the end I drew fanart instead, of you!!! pic.twitter.com/UgaRR6Qavs
— Shenpai (@AeroViro) June 14, 2022

“Please, don’t leave us!”

These were the reactions: The little role-playing action of the community team on Twitter was very well received by many FFXIV fans. The tweets of the “little rabbit” received thousands of likes, retweets, and positive comments, cheering and supporting the long-eared poster.

Link to the Twitter content

The introduction of Tweetingway received over 46,000 likes. A number that the FFXIV Twitter very rarely sees.

The action was actually so well received that under Tweetingway’s farewell post, many users begged the sweet rabbit to please stay longer:

“I will miss you, please come back soon!” – @TheManyMeteia
“Don’t go, Tweetingway, I will miss you” – @gunbreakmyheart
“Don’t leave us!” – @Archie_Knighty
“You were great, my friend! Please take care of yourself and I hope you tweet again soon!” – @SpotOfMummery

Some players even created a petition for Tweetingway to take over the FFXIV account permanently, although it hasn’t been quite as successful as hoped.

PLEASE, STAY WITH ME!!!! pic.twitter.com/TGjCVqXz4h
— Oh Cubus, We’re Really in It Now. (@VelFaros) June 14, 2022

Here’s what the numbers say: But even from the numbers, the action can be seen. On June 14, the official English Twitter account of FFXIV recorded some significant spikes in its statistics. The amount of replies to the tweets skyrocketed and the account gained almost 8,000 new followers. The statistics page Trendmap.com showed the surge in their graphs:

The second highest spike in new followers in the past 12 months was 3,465, so only about half. It happened on September 8, 2021, when the FFXIV account ran a giveaway with various cool prizes. But apparently, they couldn’t compete with a cute rabbit.

With such success, FFXIV fans can be sure that the Loporrit will visit them again in the future.

Tweetingway is the current favorite NPC of FFXIV players. Last week, it was a mother:

Tinkerer builds an aimbot for controller that no anti-cheat can stop

Benedikt Schlotmann 15. June 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

A user has built an aimbot using AI and a controller, demonstrating how effective this bot is. The presentation ignites a heated discussion among users about whether such cheats can even be seen in the future.

Among honest players, cheaters are despised as they use unfair methods to win. Usually, software is involved. Many developers therefore try to quickly ban cheaters from their servers to ensure that the matches remain fair and players can win honestly. In some cases, players supply cheaters with software that causes more frustration than victories.

But what happens when you build an aimbot out of hardware and connect it to a controller? An inventor has tried this and presented it.

Aimbot can recognize a new target in milliseconds

What did the user do? A clever user has now presented an aimbot in a short video on reddit. He built it out of a robotic arm and several small circuit boards and mounted it to an Xbox controller. He connected it with AI. The result is quite impressive.

How good is the robot? On a digital, square field, you have to balance a ball while always staying on a marking. And this marking changes position very quickly, so the ball needs to be repositioned. The artificial intelligence responds in milliseconds and realigns the ball to the marking. Probably, no human could respond to this change that quickly.

The video, however, does not show the full potential of the robot, as it only demonstrates the function on the square. An aimbot from another inventor is already significantly more advanced, as it can actually play shooters and hits better than many professionals:

Community is equally fascinated and shocked

How do users react? Many people on reddit express their fascination with the video and the machine. It is indeed unique how precisely the small robotic hand balances the ball on the digital tablet.

A user with the most upvotes explains what many might think watching the short video:

This is the kind of cheat that even a kernel-level anti-cheat system cannot prevent.

And another thoughtfully adds:

It’s sad to think about how many PvP gaming experiences are ruined by people who are somehow proud that their machines can defeat real humans.

In the next step, the inventor would now have to try his robot in a “real” game. And for that, he does not even have to lower the graphics, as many real professionals do. Because they significantly reduce their graphics settings to be able to play competitively. Why, we explain here on MeinMMO:

The best shooter professionals in the world play with the lowest graphics – you should do that too

Players are surprised by how ridiculous they now die in Fortnite: “Stones can move?!”

Christos Tsogos 15. June 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite has shown players many crazy ways to absurdly or remarkably eliminate their opponents. However, this time Epic Games has introduced a new method that tops everything else. One player demonstrates it.

What kind of death are we talking about? It’s about things that can crush, squash, roll over, or stomp you in nature. Players in Fortnite have known the method of swinging large logs to hit enemies over the head or rolling over them on the water.

All of this was possible thanks to the switch to Unreal Engine 5, because now Epic can create even more realistic effects.

Now, however, players have discovered that not only trees but also huge rocks can become your downfall.

Nature can also be dangerous!

How dangerous are rocks? The Fortnite player “Hugh-Jay-Ness” shared a clip on reddit, in which he is happily wandering through the new Season 3 map in the desert. However, during his wanderings, he accidentally killed a player, and that was only through a plain ordinary rock.

Like every player, Hugh was also gathering materials from his surroundings while wandering. Suddenly, he found himself in front of a rock that was held in place by a stone frame. The player destroyed this frame, but did not reckon that the boulder would then come loose and fall into the abyss.

Hugh then continued on the dusty mountain until he suddenly received a kill notification. Puzzled about this, he ran back and saw that the seemingly harmless rock had crushed and killed his opponent in the lower level. Only the remains of the opponent were visible.

Which rocks are now dangerous? For now, two types of rocks are known that can be dropped on your opponents.

The red desert rocks on the mountains
Gray round rocks in the grasslands

However, you must keep in mind that not every large rock can be dropped on your opponents. These specific boulders are set in a stone frame made by Epic Games. You will see and notice when breaking the small health bar how the stone comes loose and rolls away.

Can I avoid rocks? Fortnite has a battlefield full of dangers, so you must also move through the world with your eyes open. Neither walls nor other structural measures help you to stop the rolling stones. You either dodge the stones or get flattened.

Either way, this is a cool new feature that adds variety to the battles you can win. What do you think of the “Rolling Stones”? Do you think it’s cool, or have you already been humiliated like this by opponents and are fed up with it? Let us know!

Pokémon GO after criticism of GO Fest – This is what Niantic says about the Shiny chances

Franzi Korittke 15. June 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

On Pokémon GO, the big GO Fest 2022 took place on June 4th and 5th. However, the community had quite a bit of criticism, mainly due to the low shiny yield. Niantic has now commented on the shiny chances. We at MeinMMO will show you what they said.

What event is this about? A few days ago, Pokémon GO held the annual GO Fest. During the two-day event, trainers from all over the world were able to encounter special spawns, defeat interesting raid bosses, solve research tasks, and benefit from bonuses.

Those who purchased a special event ticket for around 17 euros could also expect additional content and thus should have received a higher shiny rate. However, this has been heavily criticized since the GO Fest.

Many trainers who purchased a ticket are now disappointed because they were able to catch hardly any or even no shinies at all. How poor the shiny yield at the GO Fest really was is also shown by our survey.

Michael Steranka (Director of Product at Pokémon GO) has now commented on the criticism in a statement to the online magazine dotesports.

What are shinies?
These are Pokémon that visually differ from their normal form by their color. For example, the shiny Gyarados is red instead of blue. Shinies are correspondingly rare to find in the game, which is why they are particularly coveted in the community.

“If shinies occur too often, it harms the game”

As Michael Steranka states according to dotesports, Niantic has acknowledged the criticism from the community regarding the GO Fest 2022 and received a lot of feedback on the event. They intend to take this into account for the planning of future events.

Furthermore, he specifically addresses the criticism of the shiny rate at the GO Fest 2022 and says:

We understand that some trainers judge the quality of a Pokémon GO event primarily by how many shiny Pokémon they catch. We have heard from trainers who told us how lucky they were this year regarding the number of shiny Pokémon they caught, while others had the opposite experience. If shinies occur too often, it harms the game in the long run.
Michael Steranka (via dotesports.com)

Steranka further explains that Niantic’s primary goal in hosting the GO Fest is for trainers to have fun with the event’s content for a weekend, such as catching, raiding, battling, exploring, as well as experiencing the storyline, special research, challenges, and items.

The goal, therefore, is for the overall experience of the GO Fest to be seen as worthwhile.

No reaction to other points of criticism: However, the shiny rate was not the only point of criticism from the trainers. Some players report that they had problems with the incense throughout the entire event. Pokémon that spawned due to the incense disappeared within seconds, making them impossible to catch.

Especially ticket holders were supposed to receive exclusive spawns from the incense, such as Galarian Mr. Mime, Incognito, or Dratini. According to dotesports, Niantic did not address this criticism about the GO Fest 2022 in their statement.

Trainers find “the explanation is just a slap in the face”

Niantic’s statement is particularly a topic of discussion in the reddit community. On the one hand, some trainers are reacting to Niantic’s response, but also to the fact that Steranka did not address the problems with the incense. Some responses can be found there (via reddit.com):

Runmindor: “They basically admit that the game is a casino (which we obviously knew); ‘we want you to keep paying for the chance to get shinies, but not too many to weaken our main source of income.'”

tklite: “Half of my incense spawns despawned as soon as they spawned. When I was in the game, incense spawns appeared, I clicked on them, and they despawned immediately. So many Dratini candies are gone.

JAZpfitts: “This is the worst reaction imaginable. They know that C-Day rates degrade shinies. […] It’s fine to say they don’t want people to get shinies too easily, but they shouldn’t sell tickets (or raid passes or egg incubators) based on increased rates and promote new shinies as a feature when they then turn around and accuse the community of expecting shinies. This is your event. You sold it for $15, and without shinies, it’s… not worth much. […] This explanation is just a slap in the face.”

The strong reactions caused by the GO Fest 2022 were already evident immediately after the event. Whether trainers were disappointed or relieved largely depended on two factors: whether they played with or without a ticket. There was also some positive feedback on the GO Fest 2022, although many players are rather frustrated by the new statement.

What do you think of Niantic’s statement about the shiny rate at the GO Fest 2022? Do you also think that shinies should be rare in the game? Or should Pokémon GO make an exception at such events? Let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.

June still holds a special surprise for you. The Community Day with Capuno brings back level 4 raids, albeit with a restriction. We will show you what that is.

MMORPG Lost Ark finally bans numerous bots – “Whatever you do, it works”

Mark Sellner 15. June 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

Lost Ark has had a problem with a massive flood of bots for quite some time now. The automated characters are almost overwhelming the game. Now Amazon is responding with a huge wave of bans, even if it might come at the expense of others. We at MeinMMO summarize.

What is the problem with Lost Ark? Since March, Lost Ark has been facing a massive issue with bots farming gold to sell it for real money. There have already been several waves of bans, with over a million such accounts being suspended, but the problem has continued to worsen.

In recent weeks, the problem reached its worst state yet, and players not only had to fight against rising inflation, bots in the game, and real money trading but also with queues to the servers that were flooded with automated characters.

These not only disrupt the open world, but also the economy massively. Amazon has long done little to address this, and a user on reddit even proudly showed how he operates over 100 bots simultaneously because they can do nothing anyway. But now the publisher is reacting and announcing drastic changes.

What is Amazon already doing? Just recently, a community manager confirmed in the Lost Ark forum that players using the bots for their own gain will also be punished. So if you buy gold from bots, you could not only lose your account, but also have to work off a lot of debts.

Minor bans and isolated temporary account suspensions were also common, but that was not enough, as Amazon now reveals, as they prepare for a comprehensive crackdown.

Why Lost Ark is so successful is explained in the video:

“The number of concurrent players is drastically decreasing”

How is Amazon reacting now? On the night of June 15, community manager Roxx announced a large-scale wave of bans in the forum. So many accounts are to be suspended that a drastic decrease in the number of concurrent players will be felt. These bans are to be implemented progressively over the course of the next week.

Some players are already reporting that the bans are having an effect and the queues are getting smaller. However, Roxx also emphasizes that it could happen that your accounts are also wrongfully shut down. In this case, you should contact support, which will be looking closely at these cases in the near future.

There are already reports from players in the forum about such false bans. However, the mood remains positive.

How is the community reacting? Quite positively. Next to the main thread in the forum, which can gather numerous good comments, other topics are also rising rapidly that rejoice over the announcement. Even the few reports about players who were wrongfully banned are written in a positive tone.

As long as you get your account back, people are glad that Amazon is finally doing something. Other users are already happy that the queues are decreasing. Especially on the US server Mari, the changes are already noticeable.

Another thread joyfully titles “Whatever you are doing, it’s working”.

What do you think about the changes? Have you already noticed anything on your server? Are you also curious to see how the player numbers change over the week? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.

WoW Dragonflight: New Class – All about the Dracthyr Summoners

Cortyn 15. June 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

World of Warcraft Dragonflight introduces a new class. We will look at what it can do and what makes it unique.

One of the biggest features of the new expansion “Dragonflight” is the introduction of a new class. The “Evokers” join the Horde and Alliance and are expected to bring new visuals and cool synergies, shaking things up in PvE and PvP.

What are the Evokers? The Evokers are not only a new class but also a distinct race. The Dracthyr originate from the Dragon Isles. The principle is: All Dracthyr are Evokers, and only Dracthyr can become Evokers. Thus, class and race are inseparably linked.

The Evokers harness the powers of the five dragonflights to cast spells, execute powerful breath attacks, or manipulate time for healing.

Similar to Demon Hunters, the Dracthyr have only 2 specializations:

Devastation: A ranged specialization with medium range. It uses various breath attacks and claws to deal significant damage.
Preservation: A healing specialization that utilizes the magic of the green and bronze dragonflights to invoke and accelerate healing.

What armor do Dracthyr use? Chain mail. This is the rarest armor type used so far, so it was only logical to give the new class this type of gear. They will thus compete with Shamans and Hunters for loot.

New game mechanic: Empowering – A new feature that only the Dracthyr have is essentially a whole new gameplay mechanic. Some of the Dracthyr’s abilities can be empowered and charged. To do this, you need to hold down the corresponding ability key instead of just tapping it briefly. As long as the key is held down, a progress bar charges up. If released at the right moment, the corresponding ability is empowered, resulting in additional effects or simply greater effectiveness.

What sounds like a minor change on paper drastically alters the play style and rhythm with which one plays World of Warcraft. It gives the Dracthyr a unique, varied twist and is likely to provide even long-time veterans with a new gaming experience.

Numerous customization options: Dracthyr resemble Worgen in a certain way, as they have two outward appearances. One is their Dracthyr form, in which they fight. Here, their body is more reptilian, covered in scales and embodying a very draconic being. The second form is humanoid in nature and resembles a mixture of human and blood elf in body proportions. Thus, women have narrower hips, and men are slightly less bulky.

There are plenty of customization options available. Whether it’s the shape and color of the scales, the intensity of the draconic traits, or even different, blended hair colors, everything is possible.

What is the story of the Dracthyr? The Dracthyr were once created by Neltharion, long before he was known as “Deathwing.” Neltharion tried to unite the powers of the dragons and bind them into the bodies of the primalists – thus, the Dracthyr were created. Lore-wise, the Dracthyr are a kind of “dragon supersoldiers” and thus a true hero class.

Despite their great power, they have a disadvantage: very little experience. Dracthyr are just beginning to find their place and role in the world, which is why they have a rather youthful, curious, and inquisitive personality that can at times veer into naivety.

Where do Dracthyr start? Unlike other classes, Dracthyr begin at level 58. They can join the Horde or Alliance and quest through a starting area specifically created for them. This starting area is meant to introduce the story of the Dracthyr and familiarize them with their unique playstyle – other starting areas simply couldn’t deliver that.

We will surely learn more about the Dracthyr once the beta starts. You can sign up for the Dragonflight beta here.

WoW: Unlocking Flight in Zereth Mortis – Here’s How

Benedict Grothaus 15. June 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In the latest update of World of Warcraft, you have to learn how to fly again. This is much easier in Zereth Mortis with patch 9.2 than before. MeinMMO explains what you need to do.

Why do I have to learn to fly again? On February 23, the new patch 9.2 for World of Warcraft was released. This brings you to a new area: Zereth Mortis, where prototypes for all creations are designed.

At the beginning, you cannot fly in this area yet and can only use ground mounts and the sparsely placed flight points. You need to unlock this ability first. Your ability to fly in the Shadowlands works independently of this.

When can I fly? From March 16, 2022, you can unlock the flying ability. The time restriction is due to the fact that you need to complete part of the story campaign.

This will only continue weekly, and starting from week 4 the corresponding chapter will be available. You can complete everything else beforehand. MeinMMO explains what you need to do.

Start video

Everything you need to know about the MMORPG World of Warcraft – in 3 minutes

Unlocking flying in patch 9.2 – Here’s how

This is what you need to do: To be able to fly, you need the achievement “Revealing the Secrets”. This is a meta-achievement that requires you to complete several other achievements:

Explore Zereth Mortis – Discover all areas of the zone
Suspicious Collections – Find 5 hidden treasures
Path of Enlightenment – Complete the stories “Problems with Small Pets”, “Not All Are Lost” and “Pilgrims Welcome Again”
Legends of Exile – Read all volumes of “Firim in Exile”
Adventurers of Zereth Mortis – Defeat 10 rare enemies in Zereth Mortis; here are 3 tips to quickly reach rare enemies
A Means to an End – Complete the storyline “A Means to an End”

How do I complete the tasks? You complete the campaign steps while questing in Zereth Mortis. Just follow the questline until you receive the achievements. The exploration and Path of Enlightenment should already be completed by simply completing the quests in Zereth Mortis.

Rare enemies and treasures can usually be found if you just wander around the area for a while, unless you are particularly unlucky. The addon “Handy Notes” helps you find the objectives if you are still missing them. On MeinMMO, you can find a list of the best addons for Shadowlands.

The Legends of Exile are partially hidden and not easy to find. If they are not there, the respawn time is roughly up to 10 minutes. We have created a map for you that shows you all the locations at a glance:

What’s next? In the week after unlocking flying, from March 23, you can get your second legendary item: Unity, the legendary effect of your covenant. You then wear this in addition to another legendary and thus receive a considerable boost to strength. Here are some useful links on the topic:

Later, you will also be able to craft set pieces if you had bad luck in the weekly chest or in the new raid by then. Details on this will follow, but it is already worth collecting strong items in the corresponding slots – especially if they have a socket.

So far, the new update has been quite well received, at least by active players. In our survey, most of you were satisfied with patch 9.2:

Steam hit Valheim is finally coming to Xbox – And to Game Pass

Max Handwerk 14. June 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

Valheim became a surprise hit on Steam in early 2021 and continues to captivate many players a year later. Soon, Game Pass owners will also be able to try one of the best survival games out there.

When is Valheim coming to Game Pass? As confirmed in a short video during the “Xbox Games Showcase Extended” on June 14, 2022, the popular survival game will be part of Game Pass.

Prior to this, it was on the list of all games scheduled to arrive in Game Pass in 2022/2023.

Valheim is expected to join the PC Game Pass already this fall, 2022.
“Early Spring” 2023 should see the game also coming to Xbox consoles.

Starting next year, you can also dive into the Viking world of Valheim on console.

This is the Steam hit Valheim

What kind of game is this? Valheim landed as an indie title on Steam, which wasn’t even finished yet. Nevertheless, the game attracted hundreds of thousands of players at its release, peaking at 498,478 active players.

This number has since declined, but Valheim can still impress many players. According to current steamcharts, there were an average of 18,677 players in May 2022, with about 34,000 at peak.

On the Steam store, it currently has an “extremely positive” rating with 95% positive reviews.

Autoplay

What makes Valheim special: Valheim is a survival game that gives you a lot of freedom. You can dedicate yourself to crafting, challenge oversized bosses, or engage in building. Especially, the building aspect brings crazy creations from players repeatedly.

There hasn’t been too much new content yet, with only the “Hearth & Home” update being really significant. Instead, the developers focused more on bug fixes and corrections to polish the game. However, some players took matters into their own hands and added new content through modding.

If you haven’t had the chance or urge to check out Valheim yet but own a Game Pass subscription, you will soon get the opportunity to catch up.

Valheim will also become an option for survival fans on console – but only next year. Luckily, there are some alternatives to bridge the time. Here you can find 7 new survival games to look forward to in 2022.
