The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has an absurd amount of equipment items that belong to sets. Just before the release of the new DLC “High Isle”, a player has come forward on reddit showing that he has collected all 7844 set items. This impresses even hardcore MMORPG veterans.
Why does The Elder Scrolls Online have so many set items? Well, with this MMORPG, everything has somehow gotten out of control:
The MMORPG ESO has 3 different armor classes (light, medium, heavy), all of which need sets and that for the different playstyles and classes
There are many weapon sets, crafted sets, sets of monster masks, and trial sets
In addition, new sets have constantly been added with DLCs, and ESO has been running since 2014: The overview page for sets from Fextralife alone has 27 entries under DLCs.
Elder Scrolls Online brings relatively few new features or innovations: But it is an MMORPG that consistently releases content over the years. In summary, it can be said that Elder Scrolls Online simply loves to bring set items.

What the player has achieved now: A player named ch3m_gaming has come forward on reddit: He has collected all 7844 set items in the game. He has filled all bars and is done.
Why did he do it? The player says: He is a “completionist”, his goal is to completely “play through” The Elder Scrolls Online. He simply wants things to be done.
A “completionist” is someone who wants to have all collections completely filled, all achievements completed, and all bars filled to the brim in an MMORPG. He is the embodiment of the player type “achievers” in MMORPGs. Besides, there are killers, socializers, and explorers.
Corona lockdowns and 2 new features enabled success
How long did it take him? The player decided to complete the whole “album” when ESO introduced a new feature: About 15 months ago, the “Collection System” came to The Elder Scrolls Online: With this feature, it was enough to own an item to “save” it, then you didn’t have to keep it in your inventory. The player affectionately calls it the “stickerbook”, similar to a Panini album.
Additionally, it became easier to farm items in ESO with a new loot system. Because for a while now, bosses drop those items that you haven’t yet collected. This “curated loot” also helped him.
In recent months, there were also Corona-related lockdowns at his university, so there was a lot of time available.
Lots of farming and buying other items from guild traders
How did he do it? He simply farmed really hard. He says:
“I am a success-hunter and when I am done with all the achievements in a dungeon, I have already collected a lot of equipment from the dungeon. Then I might need another 10-20 runs for the rest.”
He has also bought some particularly hard-to-find sets from guild traders. Especially PvP sets he acquired this way, he tells the amazed ESO players in response to their inquiries.

What is his goal? The player has made it his goal to “play through” The Elder Scrolls Online – for that, he still needs 300 CP and about 500 achievement points.
Furthermore, he says: New stuff is coming with High Isles anyway.
Destiny 2 is great when it comes to fantastic designs and is especially detail-oriented. You can equip your Guardian with many different items and armor or use ornaments. But there are also some really creepy items in Bungie’s space shooter that I would rather never have received. Here are 5 of them.
Bungie’s space shooter has many armors and items designed down to the smallest detail. Bungie’s attention to detail knows almost no bounds.
Some armors and ornaments are dedicated to seasonal themes and have details like logos, symbols, or patterns that make them unmistakable.
Others belong to events, like the Solstice, and play not only with different fabrics and themes but also offer glowing effects.
And even with the jump ships of the Guardians, there are unmistakable unique items, such as a flying stone.
Every player eventually develops their own personal look. This consists of the most diverse items collected over the years that can be combined and shaded at will. In the end, it results in a mix of personal taste and prestige.
However, there are also armors and items in Destiny 2 that are truly so extravagant and ugly-funny that I don’t want to withhold them from you. Here is my personal top list.
1. The ‘Ugly’ Guy
“Oops, where did the face go?” That’s what some Guardians must have wondered when they saw the Forsaken armor design. The ‘Streuhorn’ helmet from Season 7 of Destiny 2 indeed has quite an unconventional look, just like the rest of the set, and raised a few puzzled questions in the community:
Why do I look like a ‘Space-Man-Bun’ with headphones?
Why does my butt look so opulent in this armor?
And why are we bringing a handful of plastic bags to the Reef?, referring to the rather generously bulging thighs.
I personally never really kept the ‘Streuhorn’ armor in my inventory for long. Instead, I preferred to chuckle at how much fun the design team at Bungie must have had coming up with this look. Which brings me to the next hit.
2. The Creepy Owl
This “creepy owl” (Nightmare Curse Hood of the Warlock) is looking at you.
Seasons and the DLCs make a Guardian’s collection grow quickly. Such was the case with the expansion ‘Shadowkeep’.
As the new player generation of Destiny 2, I was excited to explore the Moon in 2019 with my Warlock.
Bungie released a few images of the armors in advance, which were supposed to shorten the long wait for the release. But the first glimpse of the new armor for my Warlock instantly made me become a Titan.
While the Titan in the new ‘Nightmare Curse Set’ still looked somewhat cool, even if he was an astronaut from the ’70s, the Hunter got the look of a ‘melted meerkat’. No golden decorative headband could hide that.
The Nightmare Curse Hood of the Hunter – The ‘Melted Meerkat’
I still find it difficult to find words about the Warlock. For this armor, a few creepy owls must have modelled and also shed some feathers.
Due to the campaign, you had to wear all armor pieces in Shadowkeep for the quest to work. This caused me nightmares from opening the character menu in Shadowkeep. Using an armor ornament was definitely a must with this face.
Moreover, the longer you look at this three-eyed owl helmet, the more it grins at you. Give it a try. Speaking of eyes…
3. I have one, two, three… eyes on you!
After the Legendary armors, we are now taking a look at a very special Exotic armor. Here too, Destiny 2 does not only offer an enormous variety but has also created 108 quite unique creations for all three classes to date.
The armor Exotic that I’m about to show you even stared at me when I first got it. We are talking about the ‘Omnioculus’ chest piece for Hunters, which means ‘Small/All-seeing Eye’. This Exo was introduced during Season 13 (Season of the Chosen).
What are you looking at?
Despite the many, blinking little eyes (they really blink), you are consequently more invisible to your enemies than ever.
You have unshaded the choice between a few metallic, yellow Exo-eyes or, with the ornament ‘Distorted Mark’, the version with large, green ‘Hive-Watchers’.
The ornament ‘Distorted Mark’ for ‘Omnioculus’
Even though the Exotic is incredibly practical, especially when trying to escape Savathun’s annoying moth bombs in the top-tier ‘The Lightblade’, it’s still a little creepy.
The eyes constantly look around searching and even twist depending on the direction of sight. And of course, I don’t talk to my Exotic and wonder: “What are you looking at again?”.
4. The Alien Insect Hotel
If you listen to the veterans of Destiny 1 as a Destiny 2 player, they often rave about the cool, old Iron Banner armors. And yes, there are indeed a few armors from Lord Saladin that are cool, such as the current ‘Iron Trailblazer’ armor. It has a fiery armor glow.
However, there is also this small catch with an integrated alien insect hotel, resembling a trypophobic nightmare.
Somehow, Bungie not only forgot an old rag of the Iron Lords on my Guardian’s face. (Help, I can’t see anything!) One wonders, once you’ve looked at your character from all sides, “What is growing on my Hunter’s back? Is that still alive?”.
The cool cloak of the gunslinger seems to be the former home of a few alien insects with the ‘Iron Trailblazer’ armor.
Even with the other classes, the abandoned ‘buildings’ are hard to overlook. Not that I have anything against oversized insects. But this set is, for me, the ultimate proof that armors should not stay in Bungie’s basement for too long.
Since the armors can’t excite us, we might as well get a cool ship from an exotic mission that requires several weeks of grinding.
5. A Pile of Space Junk
Bungie often hides not only armors but also exotic Sparrows or ships in various missions, like currently in the activity ‘Vox Obscura’. Some items are guaranteed from Triumphs, others are random drops.
So it was also the case in 2018 with the exotic mission ‘The Whisper’. There, you could get the coolest ship in all of Destiny 2, the ‘Thousand Wings’. But only if you had no problem with daring jumps timed against the clock and heroic challenges over three weeks.
The Guardians rave about it, even though the ship cannot be shaded, to this day.
‘The Thousand Wings’ is truly a sight to behold and unique.
Then came the dawn of ‘The Zero Hour’ in 2019, where players earned the Pulse Rifle ‘Perfected Outbreak’, and of course, there was again, for three weeks of heroic grind and a tricky puzzle, an exotic ship to snag.
Motivated by the last cool ship acquisition in Whisper, I struggled over several weeks to master the configuration challenges of the ‘Zero Hour’. I jumped daringly and under time pressure along postage stamp-sized ledges on the outer wall of the Last City.
When I was finally to be rewarded, I was grinned at by the Nomad, who handed me ‘Scrap Metal CF-717-91’. This ship could be shaded, but it didn’t matter!
It is from all angles, as the name already suggests: Just rusty scrap metal. That’s why I only park it behind the moon – of course, left.
‘Scrap Metal CF-717-91’ in its full glory.
But at least, as the new owner of this rickety pile of junk, I could claim: “My ship has seen all the parts of this universe!” … at least some of its individual parts and hope that it survives every new flight to the Tower still somewhat intact.
All that’s missing is the sound of clattering and creaking metal when the ship starts to jump in orbit. Then this little pile of junk would be perfect.

Of course, my personal selection here is purely a matter of taste. Everyone can determine the appearance of their Guardian themselves and choose the ship they like best. Sometimes it’s also fun to combine completely crazy items. The best example of this is probably the “Patrick Star”-Titan.
Two things have nonetheless been achieved by all the items shown here:
They are not only creative but also unique and remind Guardians of old adventures. (Yes, even the cute ‘scrap heap’)
Moreover, they invite players to smile, and that’s certainly a cool thing.
By the way, there are not only crazy and funny armors and ships in shooters but also weapons. Among them, a unique grenade launcher from Destiny 2:
Now we want to hear your opinion in the comments. What is personally the coolest and ugliest armor in Destiny 2 for you? And which ship would you never fly? Did I hit the mark with my selection or do you find these things in Destiny particularly successful and wear them with pride?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Shortly before the release of Diablo Immortal, MeinMMO editor bought a new tablet. Just for the new game, which has been released on iOS, Android, and PC. He is satisfied with his investment, but would still not recommend it to anyone.
I am not a tech expert like my colleague Benedikt. For me, the choice was relatively easy: I wanted a gaming tablet and bought one that is affordable and has good reviews.
Additionally, mobile gaming is much more widespread in China than in the West, which is why I simply trusted the expertise of the manufacturers here. That’s how I quickly came to the TECLAST M40 Pro as an “ordinary consumer.” Here are some technical data about the device:
Weight
548 g
Operating System
Android 11
Display Diagonal
10″ (25.4 cm)
Resolution
1920 x 1200 px
Processor
Unisoc (2 Ghz, 8 cores)
Battery Life
8 hours
RAM
6 GB DDR4
Storage
128 GB
And what did you buy it for? Initially, I just wanted to test the game on several platforms. I had early access, through which I was able to provide you with my test of the Diablo Immortal shop. The test only ran on mobile devices, not on the PC.
However, the decision was made only after I had already played it. I simply wanted to see what Diablo Immortal looks like on a larger screen and how it feels to play it mobile with a controller. So, I spent 250 €, bought some accessories, and got started.
Here you will find everything you need to know about Diablo Immortal in 3 minutes:

Diablo Immortal on the tablet – Is it worth it?
First of all, I am completely satisfied with the tablet. While sitting at the desk, you can still see enough on the screen to game comfortably, and it remains small enough to easily fit into a backpack or laptop bag.
So why do I advise against buying a gaming tablet for Diablo Immortal? The question is not easy to answer, so I will simply present you with my experience with the pros and cons. For comparison: my smartphone is a Redmi Note 9S.
Pro
Pleasant to play during longer sessions
Feels like a cool “Gaming Station to go”
Contra
Touch control is better on the phone
In my case, the visuals are not a real upgrade
Controller control still needs to be refined
What I like about the tablet: Together with the appropriate case made of artificial leather, the tablet is easy to set up. It serves as a small gaming station, always and everywhere. Just that is a big plus that I greatly appreciate about the purchase.
The operation is also very easy. The setup takes only a few minutes thanks to the cloud connection with my Google account and backup. Many apps are not pre-installed. Immortal can be started quickly and easily.
So why do I still advise against the purchase? I had 3 important criteria for which I wanted to try the tablet:
a larger screen
more comfortable sitting than with a phone in hand
The point of convenience is fully met. The other two are not. Immortal looks not much better on a tablet than on a phone and the UI scales as well. So, you can’t really see much more.
The TECLAST M40 Pro also does not allow for a real graphic update. 60 FPS or high resolution are “not available on this device.” Only detail levels can be increased at the expense of the battery.
See a bit of gameplay from the endgame of Diablo Immortal here:

New gameplay of the last area from Diablo Immortal – No player has been here yet
The controls with the controller are not refined enough for my taste in Diablo Immortal. Many UI elements must be selected by “dragging” and cannot be selected by cycling through.
Also, aiming with abilities is significantly harder with the sticks than with the touch controls of the smartphone. Touch feels really good in Immortal. However, the sticks of the Xbox Series X Elite controller are too fast. I still haven’t found the right settings despite experimenting.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Those who play on PC don’t really need the tablet
All the advantages I have with the tablet, I can also enjoy on the PC. A larger screen, actually better graphics, and more comfortable sitting in the familiar setup. The only downside here: the client is still in beta at release, so it may have bugs.
So I could have saved the 250 €, but Diablo Immortal was released for PC only a day later, and I was impatient. So, I now have my tablet for mobile games and more.
For me, the purchase was not necessarily a mistake, but I would not recommend anyone to buy a tablet just for Diablo Immortal. It looks different if you can also use such a device for other purposes.
In conclusion, I want to say that I do not regret the purchase. Although it is not worth it to only use the tablet for Diablo Immortal. But since I have been considering it for a while, the new game was the perfect excuse for my purchase.
For reading longer texts on the go, for other games, or just for video chats with family, I find tablets quite practical. They indeed fill the gap between a laptop and a phone.
I will definitely use my new TECLAST more often – primarily for Diablo Immortal for now, but surely also on the go in the medium term. For example, when events like gamescom are approaching.
Until that happens, however, I will probably just continue playing on the PC and check out more of Diablo Immortal and the endgame. After all, the game is supposed to develop significantly in the future, as the executives have already told me:
The Twitch streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp has completed the hardest challenges in League of Legends for two years: No matter how long it took, for two years he ranked every role in LoL to the highest rank. However, the latest challenge of playing SoloQ from Korea to Challenger was too much for him. His temperament got the better of him.
These crazy challenges Tyler1 has completed:
Originally, the Twitch streamer Tyler1 was a “one-trick pony” in LoL: He was good in LoL but virtually only played the champion Draven, an ADC.
To prove that all junglers he plays with are really idiots who cannot master the extremely easy role in the jungle, he decided to play the unfamiliar role at the highest rank “Challenger.” He accomplished this after 3000 games: An achievement that shows his enormous stubbornness.
After achieving this, he brought all roles in LoL to the Challenger rank: He needed 2 years and 6000 matches for this. Riot even gifted him a chain. Tyler1 is anyway undisputedly number 1 on Twitch in LoL.
There, he aimed to reach the Challenger rank, which only 300 people in the region can achieve.
Tyler1 wanted to make it especially difficult for himself and always sign up as a “filler,” meaning he doesn’t claim any role for himself but plays what is needed at the moment.
By the end of April, his Korea adventure was supposed to begin.
Here Tyler1 was still in a good mood:

14 hours a day of LoL turns even Superman into just Clark Kent
How it went now: Almost 5 weeks after the start of his “Korea boot camp,” Tyler1 is totally done (via youtube).
In the last 30 days, Tyler1 played 427 hours of LoL, which is more than 14 hours a day, without a long break. About 35,000 people watched him, but the number steadily decreased over the month.
Tyler1 now seems just glad that the boot camp is coming to an end. He is totally fed up with Korea. In the chat, there was a request for him to stay longer in South Korea. But Tyler1 says:
Buddy, what do the “stay longer” kids want from me? Guys, what you don’t get: I’m jumping out of sheer joy, counting the minutes and seconds until I’m on the plane back home.
According to Tyler1, he learned absolutely nothing in Korea and is actually in the process of sabotaging everything he ever knew about LoL. He is getting worse in the MOBA. The trip to Korea was a “complete waste of time.”
Actually a tough guy, but Korea was too much for him:

How the Worst Troll from Twitch Became the Face of League of Legends
Bad reputation brings Tyler1 to his downfall
Why is that? The Korean SoloQ has a bad reputation: This is said by South Korean professionals like Faker. When Koreans see a “celebrity,” some apparently begin to play poorly on purpose to annoy and sabotage the professional. Faker prefers SoloQ in Europe.
According to Tyler1 himself, he has a special bonus problem: When people play poorly, he freaks out and flames them. He says he “tilts” then.
However, Koreans perceive such freak-outs as an insult, remember the player’s name, and then sabotage him in the next match when they encounter him.
According to Tyler1, this has apparently happened to him:

This is how it went for Tyler1: Tyler1 was able to climb relatively quickly in the lower ranks and reached the Master rank after 10 days and 200 games with a win rate of 60%, but then apparently hit his limits (via dotesports).
He is currently still at the Master rank with a win rate of 53% (via op.gg). Even with his signature champion Draven, he only has a win rate of 52%.
Even though he performed better in the last matches before his return home, he experienced a losing streak of 9 games in a row just yesterday. Apparently, even the hardest Tyler1 finds it hard to deal with Korea. The path to Challenger in South Korea remains barred for him.
More success in South Korea had Twitch streamer Thebausffs, who has a rather strange way of playing League of Legends:
At the GO Fest 2022, organized by Pokémon GO this weekend, there were supposed to be high chances for Shinys. But many trainers are disappointed. Are you too? Show it to us in the survey.
What is the problem? On June 4 and 5, 2022, the big GO Fest 2022 took place. Niantic had been advertising and announcing it weeks in advance to show the trainers what they could expect with the ticket for an almost 17 € price.
A compelling reason to buy for many players was the increased chance of shiny Pokémon (Shinys). Niantic had shown exactly which Pokémon might be encountered more frequently in the wild if one had a ticket. Collectors could therefore determine whether participating would be worthwhile for them. But during the event, there was hardly any sign of the increased Shiny chances. Trainers are upset.
Here we show you the voices of the trainers and a survey where you can show how many Shinys you found.
“Ridiculous” – Trainers express their clear thoughts on Shiny chances and demand compensation
This is how Niantic announced it: On the official GO Fest 2022 website, it is stated, “During the event period, there is an increased chance of encountering shiny Pokémon in the wild and when using incense. On Saturday, this chance is higher than on Sunday.” However, this bonus is reserved only for trainers with a ticket.
For players without a ticket, it says “For the first time, you can encounter shiny Milza, Knilz, Camaub, Laukaps, and Schnuthelm in Pokémon GO, if luck is on your side!” Niantic did not name specific Pokémon for which the chances of shiny encounters should be increased. Instead, they indicated which Pokémon ticket holders should encounter more frequently with incense and which ones they could catch as shiny.
Combined with the suggestion that there would be a higher chance of Shinys from Pokémon attracted by incense, many assumed higher Shiny chances from the displayed Pokémon.
These included Galar-Smogmog, Icognito B, G, O and U, Klikk, Milza, and Galar-Flampion.
This is how it really was: On the first day of the GO Fest, June 4, many trainers complained about the Shiny chances. Here with us on MeinMMO in the comments, on reddit, Twitter, and Facebook, the anger of many players who drew their conclusions after day 1 was evident.
This is what trainers say after day 1:
Aro-wanKenobi (with ticket) writes on reddit “I completed day 1 here in Japan. Only four Shinys after eight full hours of relentless catching and running in the summer heat. The worst GO Fest I have ever attended. Plus, there were several glitches with spawns that may have cost me some Shinys.”
Erroneus writes on reddit: 0 in 4 hours. I stopped playing. This is the first event where I do this, but it’s just a waste of time. A friend was with me, also caught 0 Shinys. Another friend 1, another 3.” They played in Denmark, all with tickets. “I won’t pay for any further events if they don’t announce the Shiny chances. Because that’s terrible.
On our platform, MeinMMO Angelika writes: “Two people, two Shinys. We feel cheated. ‘Buy tickets, there are more and new Shinys’ was a blatant lie.”
On our platform, MeinMMO caitokid writes: “I could play all day since we were out in the nice weather in Düsseldorf and Wuppertal (9€ ticket) :-). But I only caught 3 Shinys and didn’t see a single Milza as shiny. I did catch several.”
On our Facebook page about Pokémon GO, we asked trainers how their Shiny catch was on day 1:
Julia writes: “2 in 8 hours with a ticket! Ridiculous!”
Nastassja writes: “13 with a ticket in 8 hours and 24 km on foot”
Ines writes: “Caught = 0, Hatched = 1, with a ticket”
Mandy writes: “2 with a ticket in 8 hours”
Julian says: “7 with a ticket. I’m really disappointed”
Mike writes: “1 Shiny. The worst event so far. I usually had a good yield. Many Pokémon disappeared when clicking on them.”
Vote – How many Shinys were you able to catch at GO Fest 2022?
You are asked: We want to know in the survey how many Shinys you caught and whether you played with or without a ticket. Each user has one vote and can submit it in the survey here:
What is your final opinion on GO Fest 2022? Are you overall satisfied with the event, or were there aspects and issues that caused you frustration instead of fun? We’re curious about your opinion and look forward to hearing from you in the comments.

In Destiny 2, there was an absurd problem with a new PvP event. Among other issues, the rewards weren’t working. This was critical, as the event only runs for a few days. It ends on Tuesday. Now Bungie has rushed a fix and even doubled the reputation gains.
This was the problem with the Iron Banner: Bungie has brought a “new old” event live this week: The PvP event Iron Banner has been available since Tuesday with the newly revamped Rift mode. However, there were numerous problems:
If too many weekly challenges were completed, the reputation system was broken, and players were reset
There were so many difficulties with the Iron Banner Rift that the usually enraged Destiny players were even angrier at Bungie than usual and threatened the developers with violence
It got even worse because Bungie did not address the problems in the weekly blog post, instead focusing on PvE for the first time
What made it all critical? The Iron Banner is an event that occurs relatively rarely starting from Season 17. It only lasts for a week, until the weekly reset on Tuesday, June 7.
However, it is an event that must be played a lot to unlock the Iron Banner seal. Now, during Pentecost, people theoretically have time for it.
However, players were concerned that this time the Iron Banner was so buggy that it couldn’t be played properly, and therefore rewards would be missed.

Double Reputation Rewards, But Only Active for a Few Days
This is now the announcement: Almost at the last minute on Saturday, Bungie announced its solution:
The worst glitches with the reputation rewards have been fixed with a hotfix
Furthermore, all reputation rewards in this edition of the Iron Banner are simply doubled – the bonus stacks on all other bonuses, so it hits really hard
If you have time on the rest of Sunday and on Pentecost Monday, you should head into the Iron Banner now, as the invested time currently counts double for the reputation rewards.

How is it being commented on? Well, people are not really happy on Twitter. Some say: The “Rift” mode is so unpopular that some players are just picking up the coveted rewards AFK, sabotaging the fun of active players.
Others criticize: Skill-based matchmaking should be enabled to make the fights fairer.
It seems like something is seriously wrong with this mode.
The last change in Destiny 2 was not very well received:
A new Battle Pass has been released with Season 3 – Chapter 3 in Fortnite Here you can find all the skins, emotes, harvesting tools, and other content that you can get in the new Battle Pass.
Structure of the Battle Pass: As usual, the Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks. The Pass for the new Season 3 of Chapter 3 will have the same system as in Season 1 before. You have the opportunity to unlock your rewards with stars.
Can I get the last skin of the Battle Pass right away? It’s not that easy. First, you would need to unlock all previous pages. Many rewards often build on the style or theme of the previous reward.
The following pages can be obtained by either unlocking rewards or leveling up.
For page 2, you need to redeem 4 rewards or reach level 10.
Page 3 requires 10 rewards or level 20.
For page 4, you need 17 rewards or level 30.
This continues up to page 10. You can also watch the story trailer that we have summarized for you:

Patch Notes and New Content for Season 3
What we know: Epic Games has now officially released the patch notes, and we list them summarized and in detail for you.
The Reality Tree and its Forest
A magnificent tree surrounded by giant mushrooms
The Reality Tree spreads its positive energy across the entire island. Week by week, you will notice how trees turn purple and large bounce mushrooms spring from the ground. Near the tree, there are not only waterfalls and geysers but also secret hells waiting to be explored by you.
Reality Seeds – Loot seeds that you can plant
These seedlings provide you with loot
Thanks to the Reality Tree, there are now Reality Seeds on the island that you can plant all over the island. Your seedling will then grow from match to match and bring you more loot if you decide to harvest it.
The Ballers are back!
The Baller has some adjustments and new features
The Ballers have been reintroduced to the game along with some new features. This round vehicle now has more durability, can float on water, and is powered by batteries. So if you run out of juice, you’ll need to find another one.
The Ballers can be found in the Baller roller coaster at the amusement park. You can either take a ride on the track or derail and go your own way.
You can now ride animals
Wolves and boars can now be used as a means of transportation
Epic Games finally gives you the chance to use animals in Fortnite as a means of transport. If a wolf or boar is nearby, you can jump on and take off. If enemies attack you while on your animal, you can draw your weapon and shoot at your opponents just like in the Wild West.
New and old weapons shake up the meta
With Season 3, Fortnite also introduces three new weapons to the map. These are versatile and are as follows:
Two-Shot Shotgun
A powerful shotgun – Two-Shot Shotgun
The new pump fires in bursts and with the right handling can shred your opponents in the air. Maybe this new shotgun will shake up the meta.
Precision Rifle (DMR)
A sniper-assault rifle hybrid – called Precision Rifle or DMR
The DMR has characteristics of both an assault rifle and a sniper rifle. With the built-in scope and superior range, you can easily outplay your opponents with this rifle.
Hammer Assault Rifle
A fast rifle with good range – Hammer Assault Rifle
This rifle has not only the range of an assault rifle but also the rate of fire of a submachine gun. If you pick up this weapon, be aware of the strong recoil, which can help but can also lead to disaster.
More weapons that made it into Season 3 Chapter 3:
Hand Cannon
Revolver
Auto Shotgun
Striker Pump Shotgun
Stinger SMG
Combat SMG
Ranger Assault Rifle
Striker Burst Rifle
Heavy Sniper Rifle
Grenade
Firefly Jar
Harpoon Gun
Shadow Tracker (exotic weapon)
Marksman Six-Shooter (exotic weapon)
The Double (exotic weapon)
Boom Sniper (exotic weapon)
Shockwave Grenade
The Cow Catcher and the Repair Tool can also be found on the new map.
Beware – A storm disease is sweeping the island!
The storm disease can affect anyone
A disease has been added to Fortnite. You get it if you stay too long in the storm zone. The disease accelerates the damage that the storm inflicts on your health. So be careful not to stay in the storm for too long.
Snips – A skin to assemble
Snips – A mishmash skin
With Season 3, you also get the chance to customize Snips, a toy skin, to your liking. After unlocking it on the first page of the Battle Pass, it has various tasks that reward you with new parts for its body.
Improved Sliding
Sliding on a flat surface does not slow you down. You can slide infinitely. If your slide ends, you retain your speed when standing up.
Competitive Adjustments
Reality seeds, reality saplings, wolves, and Ballers are not available in competitive game modes.
Other wildlife (except wolves) and the Baller roller coaster are available in competitive game modes.
What do you think of all the changes you experience in Fortnite Season 3 Chapter 3? Do you think the new map is cool? And what about the Battle Pass? Let us know in the comments how you feel about it!

In Fortnite, the live event has concluded and now all players are staring at a screen with mushrooms, wondering when it will finally continue. We at MeinMMO share all the important information you need to know.
What happened today in Fortnite? In Fortnite, the live event marking the end of Season 2 ended with a chaotic battle and a thwarting of the diabolical plan of the IO. The mech and the Seven concluded the fight with a huge mech showpiece, and now all players are staring at the still image labeled “To be continued”.
Update June 5th, 2:00 PM: Many players report that Fortnite is now accessible and the servers are running at full speed. However, you will first have to get through the queues before you can enjoy the new Season 3. We have also listed the new patch notes and the battle pass for you:

Fortnite has now uploaded a video that is supposed to start at 9 AM. This is the cinematic trailer for Season 3. After that, the new update to Season 3 might commence:

Leaks for the new Season 3 Chapter 3
A fierce battle between two powers
Are there any news about Season 3? The only known information about the new Season 3 revolves around the leaked battle pass. This appeared on 4chan, a public forum. If the vision in the zero point with Darth Vader is to be believed, there could indeed be some truth to it.
Additionally, some leakers have released all the “Battle Pass” skins for Season 3, which are all fashionable and directed at the “Vibin style”.

Today, on June 5, 2022, Day 2 of the Pokémon GO Fest 2022 is running! Here in the live ticker, we keep you updated with current information about the spawns, special research, and other news about the event!
What it’s about today: Here in the live ticker on MeinMMO, we will accompany the Pokémon GO Fest 2022 all weekend long. Here you will find out what is happening at the global event, which monsters are on the move, and when there are various bonuses.
Today, the main focus is on the new boss Anego, the Ultra Beasts, and the special research tasks you get.
Live Ticker for GO Fest 2022 – Day 2 with Anego, Rhi, Raids
6:00 PM: And that’s it! It’s 6:00 PM, marking the end of the second day of GO Fest 2022.
The event brought many Pokémon and a completely new type of monster, but also frustration for players who hoped for more shiny Pokémon.
How will this affect upcoming events? After all, there are still several more GO Fest events taking place this year.
We will temporarily end the ticker here. Thank you for reading along, and have a nice evening!
Participate in our survey about Shinies at GO Fest (a tick further down!)
5:00 PM: Final stretch, we’re heading into the last hour. By the way, don’t worry if you’re short on time for the special research: You don’t have to finish it today.
4:26 PM: And for the second last time today, the raid bonus is active. The GO Fest wandering has brought me to the city center of Hamburg, where the “Ironman” competition is currently taking place. They swim just 3.8 km, followed by 180 km on a bike, and then still run 42 kilometers.
I don’t know how they do it. But the running distances from the special research now look very, very cute.
4:00 PM: The GO Fest Sunday is a bit slow, it’s heading into the second last hour. Tip: Anego can certainly be beaten in a duo with the right counters.
2:23 PM: The double bonus is active again – if you need XP, take advantage of it. By the way: Brutalanda also provides plenty of XP and is easier to beat.
2:02 PM: Half of the event is over. Time to take stock: Anego and the research tasks are clearly in the foreground, not much is happening around it. How about your shinies? I haven’t seen any yet.
More interesting articles about GO Fest 2022 can be found here:
1:52 PM: We are approaching today’s halftime and right now there aren’t many Anego raids going on. Technically, everything seems to be working well – except for that annoying smoke error.
1:24 PM: Once again, the bonus is active!
1:00 PM: 3 hours are over, and the bonus expires again. How far are you in the special research? Have you already unlocked the second one?
12:40 PM: It is quite frustrating that Pokémon attracted by smoke can still vanish. This is a significant disruption when one sees a cool monster, and then it suddenly disappears.
12:26 PM: The raid limit is back up and there are double candies for Anego, as well as double XP and dust from raids.
12:00 PM: It’s lunchtime, and that means the bonus is gone again. Trainers around the world need to complete raids for the double bonus to return.
11:45 AM: By the way: The first Ultra Bonus was successfully unlocked last night. This will give the adventure week in Pokémon GO extra bonuses – what they are is still unknown.

11:28 AM: The required raids have been reached – so you can earn good XP from Anego raids for about half an hour!
11:02 AM: If you want to participate outside of Anego – there are also other raid bosses today. In addition to Anego, you can find today:
Costumed Pikachu*
Milza*
Wuffels*
Snorlax*
Brutalanda
Shardrago*
Arboretoss
Miezunder
Marikeck
11:00 AM: One hour is up, and now caution is advised: The bonus is currently not active; it has to be unlocked again. 462,022 raids must be completed in the world for that.
10:30 AM: Keep in mind: The bonus is always only active until the next hour and must then be unlocked again. So pay attention to your timing!
10:26 AM: The bonus is now active! And this can be really worthwhile for leveling up: Anego raids provide 10,000 XP and thanks to the bonus now even 20,000. If you even activate a lucky egg and complete the raid during the bonus, you get 40,000 XP.
3 Remote Raid Passes after Event Start in the Shop (with Ticket)
10:24 AM: Check the shop if you bought a ticket. There is a free box with 3 remote raid passes.
10:05 AM: And a global challenge has started! Trainers need to fight in 812,022 raids to unlock double raid XP, double raid stardust, and double Anego catch candies.
10:01 AM: In the raid overview, do you see a wormhole instead of a raid egg? Those are the Anego raids.
10:00 AM: The GO Fest 2022 is entering its second round, and we directly say goodbye to Professor Willow. Instead, Rhi has now taken on the advisory role. The research team member came through the same ultra wormhole as Anego and will likely accompany us today.
9:45 AM: Today, you will encounter all the spawns from yesterday again – only mixed up, not organized into habitats. So keep your eyes open for Pokémon like Milza, Geronimatz, Qurtel, and Co.
8:55 AM: Overnight, Niantic reported two issues. The “smoke-monster-disappearing” error was said to be a “visual glitch” (via Twitter). The second issue might affect today – trainers were being kicked out of raids. This should also be resolved and hopefully won’t be a problem here (via Twitter).
There is no new information from Niantic regarding the shiny rate of the first day.
8:50 AM: Also, ticket holders should keep an eye on the shop today. Starting at the event start at 10:00 AM, there will likely be a free box with 3 remote raid passes.
8:30 AM: There will also be two special researches today.
8:15 AM: You’ve probably already seen it: A wormhole has opened in the loading screen and they will soon be seen in the game as well. The Ultra Beast “Anego” has been officially announced today as the new 5-star raid boss.
8:00 AM: Good morning and welcome to the second day of the live ticker for GO Fest 2022. Today there are no habitats, but a new raid boss is causing a stir.
Day 1 – Habitats, Tasks, Challenges
6:00 PM: Thus ends the first day of GO Fest 2022. Many monsters were caught, numerous raids were completed, and Shaymin was met – only the shiny yield was indeed lacking. Let’s just hope that goes better tomorrow.
5:45 PM: The end of Day 1 is near. But there is already a teaser for Day 2: Did you see the hint in the research?
5:30 PM: Despite the increased number, the bonus has been activated. Double candies, XP, and dust for catches!
5:10 PM: The GO Fest is coming to an end, and the research tasks should have been completed by many by now. How do you like the catch screen for Shaymin? It would actually be a good idea for other Pokémon…
Shaymin gets a special catch screen
5:01 PM: Also the same: The collector’s task. Here is an overview of all monsters:
Quiekel
Meditie
Plinfa
Amonitas
Petznief
Wailmer
Seemops
Robball
Wingull
5:00 PM: We go back to the tundra. A bit crazy: This time trainers are supposed to catch a total of 16,002,022 Pokémon to unlock the bonus. So more than twice as many as in the last hours. Final? The bonus remains the same anyway.
4:32 PM: And for the second last time today, the double bonus has been unlocked.
4:01 PM: The following monsters are still part of the collector’s task:
Bummelz
Chelast
Knilz
Toxiped
Laukaps
Hydropi
Bauz
Panflam
Samurzel
4:00 PM: The second last hour means a return to the rainforest. As before, it’s first of all about catching a lot of monsters before the bonus is active again.
3:30 PM: How is it going for you in terms of shinies? I currently have 2 – and one of them is Seemops, which was already available at C-Day. Did you have more luck?
3:28 PM: Once again, trainers around the world have unlocked the bonus. Thus, it’s back to double catch XP, stardust, and candies.
3:01 PM: And the collector’s challenge continues. If you are still missing something – here is the overview for the prairie:
Girafarig
Leufeo
Schnuthelm
Larvitar
Camaub
Knacklion
Rotomurf
Nagelotz
Bamelin
3:00 PM: New hour, new (old) challenge: 7,602,022 Pokémon need to be caught.
2:02 PM: And for the double bonus, we need 7,302,022 Pokémon worldwide.
2:00 PM: Welcome back to the beginning because the city habitat has returned. And now you can complete the rest of the collector’s task:
Burmy
Alola-Sleima
Dusselgurr
Mollimorba
Magnetilo
Unratütox
Flamiau
Nochchan
Puppance
1:25 PM: The next bonus is active and there are double catch bonuses again.
1:15 PM: Positively, there have been no connection problems so far. Only the strange disappearing of smoke Pokémon is still disturbing.
1:02 PM: The collector’s task in the tundra:
Quiekel
Meditie
Plinfa
Amonitas
Petznief
Wailmer
Seemops
Robball
Wingull
1:00 PM: We are continuing to the last habitat of the day. This time, the task is to catch 7,402,022 Pokémon – for the known double bonus.
12:40 PM: A disadvantage of being here on the ticker: You hardly have time to catch. So far, I’ve also had no shinies. How is it for you?
12:30: A bonus has been reached again! Catching brings double candies, dust, and XP again.
12:20 PM: Notably, this year, the global challenges apparently only require catches, no gifts or similar. This makes it easier – however, so far, there has only been the same bonus.
12:05 PM: Additionally, we are chasing a new bonus – again, there are double stardust, double candies, and catch XP.
The task: Catch 7,402,022 Pokémon. And go!
12:00 PM: We leave the prairie heading toward the rainforest.
11:30 AM: Again, the challenge has been completed – and thus, double catch stardust, 2x catch candies, and 2x catch XP are back!
11:20 AM: Progress is being made with the hyper bonus as well. Since trainers in other time zones were allowed to start earlier, half is already done:

11:05 AM: The collector’s challenge is as follows:
11:00 AM: Goodbye city, hello prairie! This starts a new global challenge: 8,202,022 Pokémon need to be caught.
As a bonus, there are again:
2x catch stardust
2x catch candies
2x catch XP
Problems with disappearing Pokémon
10:55 AM: The smoke brings more monsters, but if you have a ticket, there is currently a problem where some Pokémon simply disappear when you click on them. There still seems to be no solution for this.
10:45 AM: But don’t send too many gifts yet – in the past, there have also been tasks during the GO Fest where this was required.
10:40 AM: What is currently worthwhile:
Activate smoke (it apparently even brings more spawns if you’re standing still – at least with a ticket) for special spawns
Equip your buddy with Knursp if you have one
Perform mega evolution for more candies
10:32 AM: And here we go! The first global challenge is completed and the bonus is active. For about half an hour, there are now:
2x catch stardust
2x catch candies
2x catch XP
Which bonus is active for how long is also visible directly on the screen on the right side!
10:20 AM: Two-thirds of the global challenge have already been completed! Just a few monsters left, and the first is done.
10:10 AM: Raids are now live – and at least it seems Milza isn’t completely disappearing and is indeed appearing:
At least here the raids look good
10:06 AM: And the collector challenge is:
Burmy
Alola-Sleima
Dusselgurr
Mollimorba
Magnetilo
Unratütox
Flamiau
Nochchan
Puppance
10:05: The first global challenge is also on the way. The goal: Catch 14,002,022 Pokémon worldwide. So catch as much as you can.
As a bonus, there is:
2x catch stardust
2x catch candies
2x catch XP
10:03: Thus, the first event spawns are already on the way. Here, for example, Golbit and even Golgantes are running around! If you have a ticket: Remember to activate a smoke now.
9:45 AM: Little tip: In the clothing shop, you can find the new GO Fest shirt under “currently” – free for all trainers. It looks like this:
You can find the new shirt under clothing in “currently”
9:37 AM: Today, the global challenges are particularly important. They should ideally be completed as quickly as possible so that all players benefit from the bonuses.
9:35 AM: Additionally, there will be 5-star raids with Kyogre and Groudon today. You should definitely find some teammates for these, as they are not easy to beat.
Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video
9:30 AM: Welcome to the first day of Pokémon GO Fest 2022! Today is all about wandering through habitats, catching plenty of Pokémon, completing the Shaymin research, and of course, succeeding in the global challenge.
Quite a lot to do. Therefore, you should prepare:
Clean out your Pokémon storage again – today you might need space
Check if you have enough Poké Balls. You can get new ones from PokéStops, research, gifts, or from your buddy.
See if you have mega evolutions available. Depending on the habitat, these can bring you extra bonuses.
What else is happening today, you can see up in the ticker!

The latest patch of World of Warcraft is small – and yet it has changed a lot. For WoW demon Cortyn, this is the beginning of a new standard.
The 9.2.5 patch of World of Warcraft arrived on the servers last Wednesday and brought a lot of small but fine content, some of which even remained hidden from dataminers.
To be completely honest, I had classified the patch beforehand as a small “Nice to Have”. A number of small, not really significant changes that mainly bring the data for Season 4, so that ultimately the waiting time for Dragonflight doesn’t feel too dry.
But I was wrong. Although patch 9.2.5 still isn’t a big deal on paper, it has drastically changed my experiences in the game.
Especially the possibility of cross-faction groups has turned out to be much more significant in the first few days than I had thought. To be honest, this feature wasn’t that important to me. I usually play with a fixed group anyway, so it was secondary for me to now be able to invite players from the other faction.
Together into battle – much more freedom and many more old friends to hang out with.
But honestly: I underestimated how many people in my friends list feel differently. How many friends I have on the “other faction” who are now really happy to be invited and taken along. It opens up so many new possibilities and has already led to me having conversations and tackling instances with some players that I had little to do with before. It has really brought fresh air into my social experiences of World of Warcraft.
I am now increasingly playing twinks, forming mixed groups with players from both factions, and diving back into lower-level dungeons, instead of just ticking off my weekly M+15s.
And if we really put our hand on our heart: More and easier access to social interactions has definitely done World of Warcraft good. The argument “But the faction conflict!” just loses completely. No matter how often you scream in the trade channel that “it ruins WoW completely if Horde and Alliance are now living in peace and harmony in the game”.
Honestly? No, it doesn’t.
No one is forced to join such groups. If you as a Horde still want to give the Alliance “the smack down”: Let’s go, no one is stopping you. However, for a pretty large part of the player base, it is likely far more significant to now be able to play with friends with whom they otherwise wouldn’t have done anything. It didn’t ruin World of Warcraft. It made the game better because I have more incentive and opportunities to play with more people.
Blizzard is hiding better, bringing more surprises
But it’s not just the pure content that I like, but also that Blizzard has become better at hiding this content. Although dataminers were able to gather some clues indicating the release of “Dark Rangers” beforehand, none of it was concrete.
What is also quite interesting: The entire questline surrounding Lordaeron and the unlocking of Dark Rangers was not available on the PTR. This is very rare in World of Warcraft. When Blizzard “holds back” such quests, they usually consist only of “Talk to X” quests, where you hardly find errors. However, the questline about Lordaeron consists of a whole dozen quests with different tasks and even vehicle battles. The fact that this questline worked completely and flawlessly gives hope.
At the end of the questline, there was even a great cinematic between Calia and Lilian Voss:
Start video
WoW Cinematic: Lilian and Calia talk about their future with the Forsaken
Hope that Blizzard now has an internal test team that works efficiently and eliminates errors broadly. At the same time, it also gives hope that the developers are getting better at hiding content “from the players”, so that on patch day or weeks later, still details or quests can be discovered.
It’s just a great feeling to log in on patch day and not to know all the secrets that have been deciphered by dataminers beforehand. This keeps the game fresh and also leads to nice surprises during gameplay, which positively affects the entire atmosphere surrounding World of Warcraft.
Patch 9.2.5: A good sign for Dragonflight
I believe that Blizzard and World of Warcraft are on a pretty good path with patch 9.2 and 9.2.5. If these two updates are an indication of what improvements we can expect in Dragonflight , then I am really excited and looking forward to discovering many small details that were not revealed before in the beta or by dataminers.
In the past, I generally always knew what to expect in a patch, aside from one or two cinematics. That now, significantly more content can be “hidden” excites me a lot.
What do you think?

The Twitch streamer Asmongold is known for his criticism of Blizzard, microtransactions, and Pay2Win. He wanted to escalate this criticism with a ‘satirical’ stream, purchasing everything that Diablo Immortal offered him in terms of microtransactions. However, many of his fans did not understand this criticism – his reaction was to delete angry posts against him.
That was apparently Asmongold’s idea:
The Twitch streamer Asmongold is known for being critical of Blizzard and “Pay2Win” systems. He actually wishes for games where you can’t buy anything through microtransactions that has any impact on the game. However, he still fully embraces the hype around games like Lost Ark.
Therefore, he viewed Diablo Immortal, Blizzard’s new mobile game, critically from the start and often cynically lashed out against it. Cash shops are fundamentally an abomination to him (via twitter).
In a first stream, he wanted to demonstrate just how Pay2Win Blizzard’s new game, Diablo Immortal, is: He said he would conduct a “deliberately Pay2Win” stream, buy everything the game offers him, and run a dollar counter.
Diablo Immortal: All 6 Classes in Brief Overview with Gameplay
Asmongold becomes the largest Twitch streamer for Diablo Immortal with “Pay2Win”
This is how the first stream went. Asmongold showed two streams over the last 2 days on Diablo Immortal: In total, he was on air for 10 hours and had an average of 90,000 viewers. This is less than he achieved with his coverage of the trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, yet he was by far the largest streamer for Diablo Immortal. He was well ahead of Quin69 and shroud.
But Asmongold actually went through with his plan and, according to himself, already spent about 320 € in Diablo Immortal on his first day in 5 hours. He even stated on Twitter that he regretted spending so little. He would have liked to pay even more.
Viewers express disappointment in Asmongold, accuse him of hypocrisy
This was the reaction: Many of his viewers were angry at Asmongold for now doing exactly what he has always criticized: spending money in a cash shop.
For him, 320 € may be nothing, but for many others, that is a lot of money that they can’t easily spend.
Some people expressed their disappointment in him: What is he doing? This is hypocritical, to now spend money when he has always spoken out against it.

Asmongold deletes criticism from disappointed fans live on Twitch
This is how Asmongold reacted: In a Twitch stream about Lost Ark, Asmongold said:
“I will solve the problem the way I always do. I simply delete all threads and ban the people”.
Then it was seen how he went through reddit posts that criticized him for his Pay2Win stream, he marked these posts and deleted them later.
This leads to people now criticizing Asmongold for silencing criticism of him through deletion.
People say things like:
This shows how sensitive he is. One user calls him “Fragile Andy”.
Even Quin69 handles criticism better than Asmongold – that’s saying something.
A third says: Asmongold deliberately provokes conflicts. That creates angry reactions. But Asmongold cannot handle the controversy he generates and then needs to take a break. It’s as if he ignites a fire and then complains about the heat.
Mods apologize for their boss
The mods on reddit explicitly clarify in the wave of criticism that they are not the ones deleting the posts, but “their boss” – they can therefore do nothing (via reddit).

This is what’s behind it: If you follow his logic, Asmongold is fundamentally against Pay2Win streams and wants to address that by intentionally spending a lot of money. But even knowing that, one can criticize his behavior.
In any case, many “normal players” accuse Asmongold of using his special status as a “celebrity” to gain advantages, for example in WoW Classic, when players handed him gold and items just because he is Asmongold.
With his behavior, Asmongold sets an example for an audience of hundreds of thousands: It’s okay to spend money in Diablo Immortal. Because even Asmongold does it. For many, the fun and irony stop when it comes to money.
He is quite a controversial figure on Twitch, Asmongold:

How he then deals with criticism by simply deleting it is surely also meant to be ironic, but is not very funny.
The discussion about whether the game is “Pay2Win” currently overshadows the launch of Diablo Immortal:
On June 3, a LAN event took place in Dallas, DreamHack Dallas: There, players competed in the Fortnite Solo tournament for a prize pool of $25,000, with the winner receiving around €7,400. However, the match escalated: A Fortnite professional felt cheated out of victory by a young player and resorted to violence.
What kind of tournament was it?
The Dreamhack is a brand of ESL, specializing in on-site esports tournaments. People meet and play against each other on PCs, in LANs. This takes place in various locations around the world.
The Dreamhack Dallas featured a $25,000 tournament in Fortnite “No Build” . The tournament was open to anyone who purchased a ticket starting at $150. One had to be on-site between 10 AM and 1 PM to sign up for “Open Matches”.
The top 95 players from the “Open” made it to the finals. There were 6 games in total. The winner received $8,000 – the total prize pool for the top participants was $25,000.

Pro falls in first place in the last game – As a boy “lands on him”
How did the situation escalate? There is no recording of the stream, but according to accounts from attendees and from him, it seems that player “Diego Playz” was leading in the finals and was the first to enter the last match.
Diego Playz is a North American professional player representing Team Moon Unit. He played in May with the extremely strong player, Bizzle, in duos. So he can really play and was able to dominate the “normal amateurs” at the LAN.
But in the last game, while he was in first place, he was apparently targeted for “griefing”: A player who was already far behind and played no role in the ranking “landed on him”: seeking confrontation with him directly upon jumping on the map.
“Landing on someone” is considered a violation of unwritten etiquette in Fortnite. It’s roughly like a lapped driver crashing directly into the leader during a Formula 1 race. According to Diego Playz, the boy was also supposedly supported by a “whole group of friends”.

After the match, Diego Playz reportedly went to the other player’s PC and punched him in the face.
There is only a recording of the seconds after the incident, when staff were already clearing the situation with the announcement, “Don’t fight here, there’s expensive stuff around.”
In the clip, you can see that the boy (in the black hoodie) apparently wants to retaliate against Diego Playz (olive green shirt) and runs towards him, but is held back by a friend. A staff member calls out while the two fighters remain separated – Diego Playz is escorted away at the end of the clip:

Ninja finds “Loser” has compromised the integrity of the competition, somehow deserved it
This is the perspective: The overly ambitious Twitch streamer Ninja is on Diego Playz’s side when a friend tells him about the incident.
When Ninja hears the story, he says: It sounds good to him. While it’s not okay to resort to violence, the boy somehow asked for it.
That’s a “damn loser.” He summarizes it with “You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes” – a loser shouldn’t compromise the integrity of the competition.
This is how the pro sees it: Diego Play himself now has a different perspective. He says it felt terrible to be stopped right before victory at the LAN after he put in so much effort.
But despite everything, he shouldn’t have reacted that way. He now wants to apologize to the boy and his family – as well as to Dreamhack (via twitlonger).
This is what DreamHack says: They stated briefly on Twitter: There was an incident. They took care of it. The safety of the participants is extremely important.
They are just there to have fun and play. Dreamhack calls for: Let’s have a great weekend (via twitter).
This is what it’s about: Such incidents show that Fortnite is simply unsuitable as an eSport. The basic concept of Fortnite contradicts the idea of esports:
100 people play in “Everyone against everyone” format, from second one fighting is possible
But actually, it’s better to avoid fair fights, gather resources, and conserve oneself: Either you engage in only “safe fights” or try to stay out as much as possible
Because the game allows so much, and there are only “unwritten rules”, manipulation is easily possible
Because there are so many ways to play “wrongly”, which Fortnite allows, but somehow violate “unwritten competition rules”:
The game allows you to directly “land on someone” and try to kill them, even if it ruins your own chances of winning.
Similarly, it’s possible for pros to coordinate their routes and avoid each other for most of the match, thus increasing their chances of winning. Before the Fortnite World Cup, many future millionaires were with “a coach” who apparently coordinated the routes so that the chances of “cashing in” increased
Players consciously avoid each other, do not fight against one another to avoid wasting resources
All of these are significant issues that a “proper eSport title” would not allow. In games like LoL or CS:GO, such “griefing” is not possible. You can’t choose whether you want to fight or wait until another player eliminates an opponent.
Update June 6, 1:19 PM: The matter now has a peculiar after-effect:
In Fortnite, you can soon dive back into the battle either solo or with your friends. Epic has launched Season 3, and savvy dataminers have now discovered more information about the new map. We will show you more about it.
What is happening right now in Fortnite? All players are currently stuck on the loading screen due to the server downtime and are eagerly waiting to finally play Fortnite. Since the update file has already been released, savvy dataminers have begun to explore the new hidden content.
In the process, the “new” map was discovered, which players will use for months until the next season. We will give you a brief look at the new map in the game in the trailer:

Fortnite: Trailer for Season 3 shows crazy parties and a huge amusement park
We have also summarized the new Battle Pass for Season 3 for you:
In the west, there is a forest overgrown with mushrooms and dark green trees. A large pink Zero Point tree towers above it. Additionally, in the north, there is a huge amusement park with many attractions and a gigantic bear head.
Why are there hardly any changes? The battle between the IO and the Seven has ended, but a new threat seems to have set its sights on the map. A mutated creature seems intent on harming the peaceful Zero Point tree. So, weekly map changes could occur.
As Epic showed in Chapter 2 Season 8, even slow changes can bring a lot of variety. There, a golden cube caused trouble and moved through the map daily to initiate the plan of the Cube Queen.
But don’t worry, as the known POIs like Tilted Towers or Daily Bugle are still intact and can be visited by players. So, enjoy the integrity of the map while it lasts, as it won’t be for long.
What do you think of the map? Do you like it and do you also believe that Epic will gradually destroy the map? Let us know in the comments!

The second day of the Pokémon GO Fest 2022 introduces the new level 5 boss Anego. We show you how strong the first Ultra Beast is here.
What kind of monster is Anego? With Anego, a completely new type of monster lands in the game: The “Ultra Beasts”. These monsters from another dimension threatened the Alola region in the main games and were in battle with the island guardians – Kapu-Riki, Kapu-Fala, Kapu-Toro and Kapu-Kime.
Important: In the coming weeks, Groudon and Kyogre will be back in raids. Anego is likely to be catchable only today, on June 5th.
How strong is Anego in Pokémon GO
How good is Anego? Anego is an Ultra Beast of the Rock and Poison type, not Water as one might think. Don’t be fooled by its jellyfish-like appearance: The Ultra Beasts often look very different from what they are.
In terms of stats, Anego ranks high among Poison attackers and is actually the best monster there, except for Crypto and Mega Pokémon.
The problem lies in its move combination: Anego can learn the quick move Acid and the charged move Sludge Bomb in Pokémon GO. While Sludge Bomb is a good attack, Acid fails to impress. “Poison Jab” would have been the better move here – but unfortunately, Anego cannot learn it at the moment.
Moreover, Poison attackers are rather rarely needed in Pokémon GO raids.
Additionally, Anego completely lacks the ability to learn a Rock quick move, making it outclassed by numerous other monsters among Rock attackers.
Is Anego worth it anyway? Anego’s stats are strong, but its moves are only somewhat effective. Nevertheless, it remains a good Poison raid attacker, although it is rarely needed. In PvP, the jellyfish also plays (yet) no role.
Nonetheless, you should at least secure one specimen to complete your Pokédex. And who knows: Maybe the Ultra Beast can learn Poison Jab in the future.

What is Diablo Immortal? What makes the game special, and what are its chances for the future? We talk about this in the new podcast episode.
On June 1st, the mobile version of the new action RPG, Diablo Immortal, went online. The PC version followed the next day.
The announcement of the game at Blizzcon 2018 went anything but well, and many fans were disappointed that no Diablo 4 was shown. When the PC version was announced in 2022, requiring no emulators, there was renewed interest in Diablo Immortal.
While the action RPG plays much like a Diablo game at its core, it offers features typically found in MMORPGs. These include dungeons and raids, clans of up to 100 players, and a well-developed PvP system with rankings and events.
Diablo Immortal is Blizzard’s first new game in recent years, but does it have what it takes to become really big? In the new episode of the podcast, Benedict and Maik discuss what makes the game special and what its future might look like.
Here’s how you can help shape it: You can actively contribute to improving the podcast. If you have feedback such as suggestions or criticism, or if you simply want to submit a cool topic suggestion that needs to be discussed urgently, then stop by our Discord server.
