Wild Spawns & Habitats
On Saturday, there will be four different habitats that change every hour for all trainers, regardless of whether you are playing with or without a ticket. Ticket holders who set incense during this time will also attract additional Pokémon. The chances of finding a shiny are increased for ticket holders, especially on Saturday.
Pokémon that you can encounter in their shiny form are marked with an (*).
On Sunday, the Pokémon from Saturday will also spawn wild again. So you have another opportunity to secure missing monsters.
Pokémon from Raids
On both event days, the raid bosses will also be adjusted accordingly. Especially Milza will be particularly interesting for many trainers during these days. The new raid boss is already known:
To keep track during GO Fest 2022, you should ideally already think in advance about which Pokémon are particularly important to you. The following monsters are worth considering:

Geronimatz*
Bithora*
Icognito B, G, O and U*
Galar-Pantimos

Special Research on Shaymin (Landform)
How can you get Shaymin (Landform)? During GO Fest 2022, ticket holders can look forward to a special research task. This revolves around the mysterious Pokémon Shaymin, which you can encounter as a reward in its land form.
Players without a ticket, however, do not receive this special research and thus cannot hope for an encounter with Shaymin (Landform) during the GO Fest.
With a ticket, you will receive Shaymin (Landform) in the special research
GO Fest with or without a ticket?
How does the event differ? Those who want to save the nearly 17 euros for the ticket to GO Fest 2022 can also participate in the event without a ticket. For players without a ticket, the announced Pokémon will also spawn on Saturday in the various habitats.
You can also participate in the various raids without a ticket. On Sunday, you will additionally gain access to a short special research. You can also support the global challenges on that day.
However, you will not benefit from the 9 free raid passes as well as the exclusive spawns through incense and the increased shiny rate. You will also have to forgo the special research, especially the one related to Shaymin (Landform).
What the specific differences are between having a ticket and not during the event is detailed in the following article:
To ensure that the GO Fest is a great success for you, you should prepare a bit in advance for the event. Below we have summarized the most important tips. 6 detailed tips for preparing for the GO Fest can be found in our accompanying article.
Clear space: Already create space in your Pokémon and item bag before the start of the event. This way, you won’t have to sort your items and monsters during the GO Fest.
Poké Balls: The most important thing on these two days is that you don’t run out of Poké Balls. It helps to have a generous supply in advance.
Incense: If you have purchased a ticket, make sure to have enough incense available to secure the exclusive spawns during the various habitats.
Plan your route: If you want to catch many Pokémon at this event, it is advisable to plan a good route in advance. Also, make sure there are enough PokéStops and gyms along the way.
Prepare for raids: Keep enough potions, revives, and raid passes ready for your raids. Ticket holders can benefit from the additional raid passes that will be available during the event. Also, coordinate with your friends about which raids you want to participate in together.
Power banks: If you want to play all day, it’s best to use a power bank to recharge your smartphone while you’re on the go. Make sure to charge all your necessary technology in advance.
Here we show you when the live event for Fortnite starts, when Season 2 ends and when Season 3 could begin, and what content you can expect in the new Season 3.
We summarize here when the next season begins and what we know about it.
Update, June 4: We have written an article about the current server down situation. This includes all current leaks as well as the assumed season start of Season 3. We will continue to update this, so check back:
The live event is over, but we have embedded it here for you, in case you missed it:

When does Season 2 end in Chapter 3?
What is known: In the game, Fortnite indicates that Season 2 in Chapter 3 will run until June 3. June 3 is a Friday. Although new seasons are usually released on a Tuesday, the release of Chapter 3 has also shown that nothing is certain for a new season on weekends.
So far, it has been: Typically, a new season starts right after the end of an old season. Therefore, we assume that Season 2 will end on June 3 and that Season 3 of Chapter 3 will start on June 4, 2022. That would be a Saturday.
However, a timer dates the beginning of the new live event to June 4, Saturday at around 10 PM. Since you can expect downtime, the new Season 3 is likely to be ready only on Sunday.
Usually, new seasons in Fortnite start on a Tuesday. However, the first season of Chapter 3 started on a Sunday. It’s quite possible that the next section will also begin on a Saturday or Sunday.
Expect there to be downtime between the seasons during which the game is not accessible. A prolonged downtime like with the Black Hole is not expected, as a new chapter is not starting, but only a new season within a chapter.
Season 3 Chapter 3 Battle Pass, Live Event, and Start
What is known so far: There are currently no official information about which content will be included in the new season. However, data miners already have an idea. In the next lines, we will talk about leaks regarding Season 3. If you want to be surprised, better check one of the following articles:
What do we know about the new season? So far, not much is known. In the new data from Fortnite, leakers have only discovered hints about the upcoming live event. The large mech leader is slowly being built by the Seven to be used in the final battle against the IO.
A new Battle Pass has also been released, but this should be taken with caution as it has not been confirmed by Epic Games.

Much remains unclear beneath this. In the quest of Jonesy, it becomes clear that the sisters, two followers of the Seven, do not have entries in the IO. These were deleted by the possible leader of the Imagined Order “Genõ”.
Whether all three characters are planning a conspiracy against you and you will be shot into space with the rest of the Seven in the live event remains unclear.
It is also possible that the disclosure of who or what Genõ is will finally happen, as Fortnite’s story is approaching its end and Epic has not yet revealed the puppeteer.
As for the new map, not much is known either; many parts of the Chapter 3 map have been affected by the battle against the IO. A complete renovation of the map for Season 3 Chapter 3 could be conceivable.
The apocalypse machine of the IO could still bring a lot of destruction, so stay tuned for what changes will follow.
Are you excited about the end of the story around the IO and the Seven, or do you want it to continue? Let us know in the comments how you feel about it!

The live event “Collision” took place on Saturday, June 4, in Fortnite. We from MeinMMO were live at the event marking the end of Season 2 in Chapter 3. Here we report how the battle against the doomsday machine unfolded.
Here’s what it all built up to: In Fortnite, the Imagined Order caused many problems, turning the entire map into a battlefield. Despite this, players and the Seven were able to push back the IO troops; however, as a last resort, they aimed for the destruction of the current reality.
Did the players, with the help of the Seven and the newly built mech, prevent worse? We’ll show you!
We are also currently informing you in this post about when the Fortnite servers will be back online:
What happened during the live event marking the end of Season 2: First, the hatch where players stand in the lobby was opened, and they slid through into the head of the newly built mech.
Players got a glimpse of the moon base while the timer counted down to the start. To prepare, players could enter the gunner capsule located at the back of the mech’s head.
Here you can watch the epic battle in full:
Start video

In the capsule, players could spend time shooting at asteroids with various weapons and listening to the Seven chat.
Now that players were briefed about the origin and the paradigm, the mech’s engines were started, and they flew through space towards reality and the current “Chapter 3” map.
Players in the mech preparing for battle
Through a wild melee and plenty of IO soldiers, the mech fought its way from station to station with the help of players. However, the mech faced such heavy resistance that its shields broke, and Schali supported us in battle with his driving skills.
The funny banana brought the mech a barrel full of slurp shield, and players could advance further towards the world destroyer.
Just before the mech could charge its blade and deliver the final blow to the massive IO weapon, players fell into a chasm. Jonesy, who is now called the Legend, helped you out of the broken mech, and you had to walk on foot to the nearly collapsing Zero Point.
During the battle up to the Zero Point, glimpses of different realities could be seen, including the shape of a being that calls itself Geno. The Foundation and Jonesy jumped into the reality of the IO chief while players deactivated the world destroyer, thus saving reality.
The mech unleashes a fatal attackThe mech is crashingNow we finally know what Geno looks likeOn the way to Geno
Now players look at an animated image with mushrooms, accompanied by lobby music. Below is the designation “To be continued”.
When does Chapter 3 Season 3 start: So far, there is no information. We will keep you updated if something new is released.
Now that the live event for Chapter 3 Season 2 is over, we ask ourselves how you found the implementation and appearance of the mech? Did you expect the Seven to succeed? Let us know in the comments!

In Fortnite the big live event “Collision” will start today, June 4th. We at MeinMMO will be live covering the events of the live event as well as the server downtime for new Season 3.
What kind of event is this? At the end of a season or chapter, Fortnite regularly starts big live events. Players can participate live in Fortnite simultaneously and experience the event together, or they can watch it in the stream with the big Fortnite streamers and follow their reactions to the spectacle directly.
When does the live event start? Today, on June 4th, the big live event takes place before the start of Season 3 Chapter 3. You can participate in the event at 10:00 PM German time. This time is confirmed by Fortnite itself with a countdown, which you can find in your lobby.
Did you miss the live event? Then we have the video for you here:
Start video

Game Mode “Collision” – How to participate
How you can participate: If you want to experience the event live in-game, you should log in on time. Depending on how large the demand is, there may be overcrowded servers, which could lead to waiting queues.
At the finale of Season 2 Chapter 3, there will be an event mode called “Collision”. You will be able to start this mode only from 9:30 PM. You will then be matched with three other players. When the live event starts, the hatch beneath your skin will open and you will be part of the final confrontation between IO and the Seven.
Can you repeat it? No. “Collision” is a one-time event and does not offer an option for repetition. If you want to see the end of Season 2 Chapter 3 again later, you should record it yourself or refer to YouTube videos. If that’s too tedious for you, you can of course also watch a video of the event on MeinMMO in a timely manner.
You will receive rewards: As a reward for your participation in the “Collision” event, you will receive a special loading screen and lobby music. So fighting against the IO is worth it for you.
Streams of the live event “Collision” before Season 3
You can watch here: If you yourself do not have the opportunity to follow the live event in the game, you can also watch the big Fortnite streamers.
This is known: Fortnite itself has already released a teaser trailer for the event “Collision”. You can expect a fight against the IO and the apocalypse machine. This heralds the end of Season 2 and the start of Season 3.
In the trailer, we see characters belonging to the Seven bravely walking towards the giant waking “Bear-Mech” to confront the IO.
Sloane, the leader of the Imagined Order, could not assert herself with her troops on the Island of the Seven and was gradually pushed back and stripped of her occupied places. Now she has no choice but to once again destroy a reality with a giant machine. The Seven therefore pull out the newly refurbished Mech, which is supposed to put an end to the haunting once and for all:

There are also already leaks concerning the new Battle Pass of Season 3. If you want to learn more, we have the suitable articles for you:
Many people are unsure about what will happen with the new map and what destruction players will witness again. Since the Mech has to face the IO and the apocalypse machine, it is clear that the Seven will unleash all their weapons to contain the threat. Fans even speak of such an extreme live event that the map could be blasted into space.
Stay tuned for what Epic has in store. Will you be part of the new live event for Season 3 or would you rather watch a streamer and not risk your relaxed weekend for an event? Let us know in the comments!

The Pokémon GO Fest 2022 is in full swing, along with the research on Shaymin. At the end of it, there’s already a teaser for what awaits us tomorrow.
Warning, Spoiler!If you are currently still playing the GO Fest 2022 and do not want to know what to expect at the end of the special research with Shaymin, then do not read further. Instead, check out our complete guide to GO Fest 2022 .
This is the research: Saturday is dedicated to the research on Shaymin, where you can choose different paths. Each path leads you to the mysterious Pokémon – and of course to Professor Willow, who comments on the whole thing as usual.
This is the hint for tomorrow: The talkative professor congratulates you at the end of your encounter with Shaymin – and notes a strange hole in the sky at the end.
He mentions that it reminds him of Hoopa – at least distantly. But to him, it looks more like a wormhole that has opened up.
And thus it is basically clear what awaits us tomorrow as a secret raid boss.
There is a hole in the sky!
This will probably be the new 5-star raid boss for GO Fest 2022
This is what the wormhole means: Recently in Pokémon GO, the Ultra Beasts were announced, which you may recognize from the Sun and Moon games of the main series. They are the enemies of the Island Guardians, who appeared in the game over the past few weeks.
These monsters also travel through dimensional portals. “Wormholes” indeed, just as they have appeared above the good professor’s head.
This monster is likely to be your opponent tomorrow
The first of these Ultra Beasts was the jellyfish monster “Anego” in the main games. This was last referenced in connection with Pokémon GO. By now, it is a pretty safe bet that this monster will also appear as a boss tomorrow. Niantic has been keeping quiet about it so far.
What further supports this is your Pokémon storage: If you send multiple monsters there and include legendary monsters as well, you get a message saying: Beware, your selection includes either legendary, mythical Pokémon or Ultra Beasts.
Of course, one of the other Ultra Beasts could also appear as a boss tomorrow. However, this is currently rather unlikely.

On Amazon, a 4K TV from Samsung is one of the bestsellers. But how good is the device and is it worth it for PS5 and Xbox Series X?
What are these bestsellers? The retailer Amazon creates “bestsellers” for various products and categories. These figures are based on the most orders and are updated hourly by Amazon. This makes it easy to see which products are currently popular among potential customers.
In 2nd place for “Televisions” is currently (as of June 4, 2022) a television from Samsung. Especially the price of less than 400 euros (as of June 4, 2022) is likely to appeal to many users. But is the device worth it or should one invest more money?
The television offers great picture quality and good colors, but hardly any gaming features
For currently under 400 euros, you can get a 43-inch television with 4K resolution. However, the device is also available in sizes up to 85 inches, for which you currently pay around 1300 euros. The device offers HDR, HDR10+, and HLG. Additionally, the device supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), which is particularly important for those who want to use the TV for gaming. This automatically reduces the latency when gaming.
The device also features 2 HDMI 2.0 ports on the back, one of which supports eARC. eARC is designed to provide high speed and bandwidth for audio signals. This means you can easily send complex audio signals to a receiver or a soundbar without sacrificing sound quality, unless you want to game with a gaming headset anyway.
How good is the device? In the test, the online magazine Rtings praises the television mainly for its excellent picture quality and good contrast ratios, which are typical for VA panels (via rtings.com). Criticism mainly comes from the absence of a dimming function on the television. This means you cannot improve the black values. Also, the brightness at HDR does not always impress.
On Amazon and other sites, some buyers criticize that the sound of the television is very poor. There is also criticism for the menu bar, as you cannot customize it. When you navigate through the menu, you have to see a long list of services and advertisements every time.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
One of the best 4K TVs under 500 euros, if you have extra speakers and “only” casually game
Is the device worth it for gamers? Despite the good ratings, the device is not necessarily recommended for gamers. This is because the device only offers a VA panel with 60 Hz and features like variable refresh rate (VRR) and HDMI 2.1 support are completely missing.
However, it must be added that no television in this price range offers these features. The response time is also not perfect according to Rtings. Very fast movements may look slightly blurred on this television, so if you particularly want to play fast-paced shooters, keep this in mind.
If you are looking for a television that offers very good picture quality and is primarily worthwhile for dark rooms or for the evening, then you should consider the Samsung television. Despite the lack of gaming features, Rtings ranks this television among the best 4K TVs available for under 500 euros.
Other televisions for PS5 and Xbox Series X: The Samsung TV does not convince you or do you want to know more about televisions for the new consoles? Then take a look at our buying guide. Here we explain what you need to consider when purchasing a TV for PS5 and Xbox Series X:
The new action RPG Diablo Immortal has been available for PC, iOS, and Android for a few days now. MeinMMO has taken a look at how the title performs in the first tests and impressions.
Diablo Immortal continues the dark series on mobile and has been available since June 2nd. There’s even a PC beta running in the Battle.net launcher, making the action RPG available for iOS, Android, and PC.
MeinMMO gathers some opinions from early tests and press impressions and provides insight into what Diablo Immortal does well, what doesn’t go so well, and why Pay2Win is such a big topic in the game.
The most important thing to know about Diablo Immortal can be seen in our video:
Start video
Everything you need to know about Diablo Immortal – in 3 minutes
The Good – It’s a complete Diablo on mobile
Let’s start with the positive points: Diablo Immortal meets expectations in terms of gameplay and content, and even surpasses them in some areas. Especially the control on mobile is well received by many testers.
As noted by colleagues from GamePro: “the controls work excellently […] a very intuitive touch control” (via gamepro.de). Good controls have a significant impact on the combat, which takes on a high importance in an action RPG.
Even the graphics on mobile are a plus point. Comicbook.com states: “My iPhone 11 got a little hot in 60 FPS mode, but it looks too good to turn off” (via comicbook.com).
Time and again, it is mentioned that many testers have played around 20 hours without spending a cent, and that the game is worthwhile just for the desire to play Diablo again.
IGN mentions in its initial assessment on Metacritic: “Having enjoyed more than 20 hours of microtransaction-free gameplay, there is clearly enough content to enjoy before you consider spending money” (via metacritic.com).
The latest Diablo offers a lot for a free-to-play title. The gameplay is nice, the controls are not an issue, and the content looks good. The negative points only begin to show when looking beyond that.
Already heavily discussed beforehand, after release the big criticism of the game remains: Pay2Win. Diablo Immortal offers a small help in almost all progression mechanics – for a certain price.
No one has yet made a final judgment about the actual impact of the monetization mechanics. The game has not been on the market long enough for that. But no test, no initial impression can get past the specter of Pay2Win.
As noted by “Ars Technica” on Metacritic: “The aggressive microtransaction offers make me pessimistic that Activision Blizzard will change anything in the coming weeks” (via metacritic.com).
The author wishes that it would be fair without paying in the endgame as well, but currently thinks that this will not be the case.
Shortly after release, the PC beta also causes stress. GameStar titles: “In this state, the Windows version of Diablo Immortal cannot reconcile PC players with Blizzard” (via gamestar.de).
Performance weaknesses, crashes, and missing settings are the biggest points of criticism. But the developers are likely to address these issues.
Despite the problems on PC and the pitfalls of Pay2Win, Diablo is a solid action RPG that attracts many players. Time will tell whether the balance of monetization is right or if the endgame is strongly dependent on it.
DrDisrespect is one of the most well-known streamers and is now on YouTube. Now the shooter Escape from Tarkov brings an item from him into the game, but the community reacts cautiously.
Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore shooter that focuses on PvP battles and full realism. The game is so realistic, that you can find real phone numbers on the weapons, which unsettles some players. Otherwise, the shooter offers little explanation and even one bullet can mean death for you.
The Tarkov developers recently announced a new game:

What is happening in the shooter? The shooter is now introducing a new item into the game. A developer introduced the item on Twitter with the phrase “You all know it” and caused a big discussion. Because most users immediately recognize the iconic jacket that DrDisrespect always wears in his streams. But the reactions are cautious.

The community is divided: “He doesn’t deserve it. He hardly plays, nor does he understand the game.”
How does the community react? DrDisrespect is controversial, yet many appreciate him for his cool and crazy content.
However, finding the iconic jacket of the streamer in the game is not only a source of excitement. Many believe that other streamers would deserve such an item much more than DrDisrespect. One user explains on reddit that such an item shouldn’t cost the developers much time:
While I agree that the Doc does not “deserve” a streamer item because he has only played on/off, I would rather see others get theirs first. But it is quite clear that this is literally just a color-changed PACA with some minor visual adjustments. I doubt it took a significant amount of time.
One even goes so far as to write: “He doesn’t deserve it. He hardly plays, nor does he understand the game.”
However, some players also point out that this is not about playing or success, but solely about attention. Some users even claim that the developers are bringing this item into the game only to attract new players to the hardcore shooter (via reddit.com):
Anyone who says that other streamers deserve it more is 100% right. But he has not paid attention. It’s all about the money. Doc will play again because of this (most likely) and that will generate new players and money for BSG.
Currently, things don’t seem to be going well for DrDisrespect. Because while YouTube showers many Twitch stars with money, the former Twitch streamer receives little of the YouTube money. And he doesn’t like that at all. At least the star on YouTube has managed to resolve his problems with his gaming PC:
This is what Dr Disrespect’s jacket looks like, which is coming to ‘Escape from Tarkov’ soon
Escape from Tarkov is considered a big winner on Twitch in 2022
The hardcore shooter was among the biggest winners of 2022, as many players started playing this year and numerous streamers played the game. For us at MeinMMO, Escape from Tarkov is one of the best multiplayer shooters you can currently play.
Especially the unique gameplay attracts many hardcore fans to the shooter. Many aids that other shooters rely on are not available in Escape from Tarkov. There is no display showing how many bullets are left in the magazine, and if you are out with friends, they are not marked. In the worst case, you might even shoot your own friends.
If you want to dive deeper into the world of Escape from Tarkov and want to know why this shooter is still so popular in 2022, check out the following article. Here we explain what makes the shooter so unique:
The survival shooter Rust has now received a major update. It comes with a lot of changes to the gunplay.
Rust is a survival game. Your goal is to gather resources, build your own shelter, and of course, survive. In 2021 and 2022, Rust also gained great popularity on Twitch and set new records in player numbers.
This week, Rust received a major update that primarily changes the gunplay. The reactions from players are mostly positive.
The developers are changing weapon recoil and introducing a crosshair
What are the biggest changes? The biggest and most important change is the new recoil that has been implemented for almost every weapon. According to the developers, the recoil is supposed to be easier to learn. The new recoil is also supposed to prevent scripts from handling it easily – making cheating harder.
The recoil is replaced by a target drift. If you use an automatic weapon, it will become less accurate the longer you hold down the trigger.
For the first time, there is now also a crosshair in the game. You no longer have to cheat with your gaming monitor, but can use one directly in the game. When using rifles or a crossbow, it will be displayed automatically.
Depending on what you do, the crosshair will get larger or smaller. If you run across the map, the crosshair gets larger and less accurate. However, if the crosshair bothers you, you can easily turn it off in the game settings.
What else has changed? If someone attacks you, you will see blood splatter in your field of vision. This shows the player from which direction you were attacked.
Two other changes may also be of interest:
There is now a new ammunition mixing table where you can craft basic ammunition much faster than before.
Additionally, the Hapis Island is making a return with this update. The previous update removed the buggy map, which is now returning revised.
In PvP, you can now also use an extended magazine. This gives you 25% more ammunition than before.
Many users praise the update for Rust, but there is also criticism
How is the community reacting? In several threads on reddit, users are discussing the new update (via reddit.com). Some believe that Rust is finally becoming more accessible and that the new recoil makes the game significantly better.
Other users who have already invested hundreds of hours into the game feel taken aback by the changes. After all, they have invested dozens of hours to perfect their weapons and handling, and now everything is different.
Another user comments on this sarcastically, writing:
Games need changes and updates to evolve, and that’s how Rust changes the recoil to shift the focus from gunplay to gameplay feel and team play.
If you can spend all 2,000 to 3,000 hours learning the old AK spray, then you can easily spend <100 hours learning the new one.
What do you think? Have you tried the new update in Rust and are you convinced by the changes?
Do you want to start playing Rust again or have you become curious? Then check out our beginner guide to Rust. Here we present 5 tips that make it much easier for you in your first hours in the survival shooter:
Diablo Immortal offers you many activities for leveling shortly after the start of the campaign, but the story is best suited for that. However, you will quickly face an XP wall and must reach level 40 to continue the story. We show you how to overcome the XP walls on MeinMMO.
What is meant by XP wall? The story missions of Diablo Immortal are tied to different areas, and the individual areas are divided into different levels. Once you finish the story in one area, you need a certain minimum level for the campaign in the next area.
If you don’t have the appropriate level yet, you will face the XP wall. You will then see a quest notification – “Reach level 40”. Only then will the story continue.
The story missions advance you the fastest in leveling, but you will need to grind a bit to reach the new level. MeinMMO has some tips for you on how to reduce the XP wall a bit and which activities are worthwhile.
You can find our complete leveling guide with tips and leveling classes for levels 1 to 60 here:
The Battle Pass is a strong ally in combating the XP wall, as you receive a nice amount of experience points for every level up. This applies to both the free and premium versions.
However, you should not always accept the Battle Pass levels immediately. With each level, the XP yield from the Battle Pass increases, and you should activate the levels only when you need XP.
So wait to redeem until you are facing an XP wall.
2. Continue playing the Codex Guides
Through your Codex, in addition to story missions, you receive additional tasks and quest lines that allow you to repeat activities in an area or require specific milestones from you. Such as “Equip a second legendary gem”.
Complete the missions as far as possible and gather a decent amount of experience points.
The best part: when you are facing the XP wall, you already know the areas of the Codex tasks. You can use auto-navigation and sit back and relax while your character runs to the corresponding quest locations.
3. Complete Bounties / Daily Tasks
Determined players with a focus on quick leveling already take on daily missions and hope to complete them along the story. However, you should not take significant detours to complete the tasks.
When you are facing the XP wall, these side tasks become exciting. Especially, the bounties and daily missions are worthwhile. Later, when you join a faction, they will provide you with more daily missions.
Here, too, you have the advantage of already knowing the areas. Click on the bounty in your mission window, and your character will immediately head to the area where you can find the monsters for your quest.
Barbarian, Demon Hunter, and Crusader are the best classes for leveling. You can see an overview of all classes with gameplay in our video:

4. Play Dungeons / Elder Rifts with a group
Time flies when grinding with a group. Choose a dungeon that you can work on for a while or play the Elder Rifts in Westmark.
Shortly after release, it’s still unclear which of the two methods is the fastest. Some swear by the rifts, while others prefer the dungeons.
You can also start the Elder Rifts without using an emblem.
5. Grind solo specifically in Elder Rifts
For lone wolves leveling, there is also a method with the Elder Rifts. Start a rift without an emblem and explore the rift without focusing too much on enemies. You will only kill the blue monster groups shown on your mini-map.
These groups drop extra experience points and are particularly worthwhile. The enemies that followed you to the blue group can also be eliminated.
Once you’ve explored the rift area and see no blue monster groups left, exit the rift through your map to Westmark and start again. This way, you can also level up within an hour at higher levels.
If you want to see the method in the video, we will link something appropriate here. From minute 1:50, you can see the method:

Diablo Immortal brings everything that makes a full-fledged Diablo. However, the mobile character can still be felt in many corners, such as with the XP wall at the end of the area campaigns.

In Pokémon GO, the GO Fest 2022 started on June 4th. This includes the special research with Shaymin, which is divided into the paths Explore, Catch, and Battle. There are three difficulty levels. We help you with your decision.
What kind of research is this? In the special research, you will get the chance to catch a Shaymin for the first time in Pokémon GO. You will receive it in its Land Form.
Through the different paths and difficulty levels, trainers can customize how they want to play the research. We will show you the rewards and differences here so you can easily decide which path is the best for you.
Which path should I choose for the Shaymin research?
The choice depends entirely on which items you want to be rewarded with. In the Battle path, you will receive potions, TMs, and revives that you don’t get in the other paths. Lucky Eggs are only available in Explore and Catch. Incubators are only available in Explore.
We will show you an overview of all rewards and tasks further down – this will help you decide easily. Because depending on the research, the tasks change. Sometimes you will need to battle Team Rocket, sometimes you will walk, and sometimes you will spin PokéStops.
Once you have decided on a path, you should also choose your preferred difficulty. It should be noted that the rewards hardly change – only the color of the stickers that you want to attach to gifts. By choosing higher difficulty levels, you create a greater challenge for yourself.
At the end, you can show off as a “Master” with gold stickers. If you play “casually,” you will only have bronze stickers.
Choosing the difficulty has almost no impact on your rewards. The only change is the stickers you receive in the last chapter of the research. At the “Casual” difficulty, you receive bronze stickers; at “Standard,” you receive silver stickers; and at “Master,” you receive gold stickers.
Which path of the special research with Shaymin are you choosing? Join our survey here and vote for which path you decide on.

On June 6th, just in time for the holiday in Germany, the new major expansion for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online arrives. It is named High Isle and is based on medieval Europe. In the short MeinMMO check, you will find out if the expansion is something for you.
What is High Isle anyway? The new major expansion of The Elder Scrolls Online is named High Isle and will come into play on June 6th. You can already purchase the expansion, but you will only be able to download it on release day.
It brings a completely new area to the MMORPG that is inspired by medieval Europe. You will also encounter the Bretons, who are at the center of the story of the new expansion. Unlike what you may be used to from previous expansions, there is no new PvP content this time.
Instead, the following highlights await you:
The new area “Systres Archipelago,” which is based on Europe and features various biomes and two different maps
A new story that centers around the Bretons and offers about 30 hours of gameplay
With the Dread Sail Rifts, a new trial for 12 players comes
A new collectible card game called Tales of Glory
When and where does ESO: High Isle appear? The “When” is not entirely easy to answer. The expansion will be available on June 6th as soon as the server maintenance is completed and the game is back online. After that, you can download and play the update. To keep better track of this, you can directly check the ESO Server Status online.
Regarding the “Where,” there is also not a clear answer. On PC and Mac, you can start on June 6th, but those playing on Xbox and PlayStation will have to wait until June 21st. Then you can get the expansion through the usual channels.
A precise list with all the information about High Isle can be found here:
To give you a compact overview, we have prepared 10 statements for you. If you answer 8 of them with “Yes,” High Isle is definitely worth a look. If you are still unsure or can agree with fewer statements, there is a summary below of what awaits you in High Isle.
I like MMORPGs with a story focus and strong characters
I enjoy exploring vast landscapes and like immersive worlds
Leveling and grinding for the highest gear score is not important to me
Side quests, like a card game, are often more fun for me than fetch quests
I haven’t played ESO in a long time and am looking for a reason to dive back in
I have no problem with additional bonuses for real money that make my life easier
The entry price of €40 just for the expansion itself is not decisive for me
I enjoy housing and like to spend a lot of time doing it in MMORPGs
I am looking for an MMORPG where I can easily enter the endgame years after release
New PvP content is not important to me, I prefer to play PvE anyway
You can see gameplay from High Isle in our video:
Start video
ESO shows the first gameplay trailer for the new expansion High Isle
The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle – Who is it worth it for?
Why should I check this out? That depends entirely on whether you have ever been in the world of ESO. If so, High Isle meaningfully continues the story and shows you, with new areas, the card game, and the great open dungeons, why you love Elder Scrolls games.
If you haven’t been in Elder Scrolls Online yet, High Isle offers a good starting point for you. You do not necessarily need the other expansions to play High Isle. You also avoid the annoying leveling to finally experience the content there, because here you automatically adapt to the areas you are in.
However, High Isle is aimed a bit more at veterans of the MMORPG than at completely new fans. The expansion lacks a unique feature that attracts completely new players or brings back people who have left the MMO for a while.
If you are still actively playing ESO, the purchase is already worthwhile for the story, the new areas, and the current sets of the expansion.
Which edition should I buy? That alone can already be a bit confusing for new fans, as the major expansion is being released in four different versions:
ESO Collection: High Isle for €69.99
ESO Collection: High Isle CE for €89.99
ESO High Isle Upgrade for €39.99
ESO High Isle Upgrade CE – €54.99
All four versions include the new expansion. However, the two upgrade versions do not include the base game, only High Isle. Therefore, they are not interesting for you as a new player. The Collection offers the base game with the new expansion for €69.99 and would be your starting point as a newcomer.
The two CE versions, on the other hand, include both High Isle and all 5 previous expansions. So you are getting the full load of ESO.
What exactly is in High Isle?
New Maps and the Card Game
What is it about? In the current expansion, you explore a part of Nim that has never appeared in any Elder Scrolls title before. In two new maps, you will uncover the legacy of the Bretons, which symbolizes the entire year 2022.
The namesake High Islands are a tropical area surrounded by bright cliffs and home to several dense forests as well as medieval fortresses. It visually differs significantly from the second new map Amenos. The latter relies on lava flows and introduces a completely new world event with the volcanic vents.
The High Islands often look welcoming
The two maps provide room for a story revolving around political maneuvering between two alliances. At its heart is a dubious knight order that threatens safety and peace on the High Isle.
High Isle tells, as you are used to in ESO, the story not directly to the end. It will be narrated throughout the year in four upcoming DLCs. The prologue of the story is already in the game:
What kind of card game is this? Tales of Glory is a card game that introduces a completely new game system into the MMORPG. You can play this quick tavern game against NPCs as well as other players, unlocking new achievements and collectibles along the way.
The focus of the Tales of Glory is on different cards and decks that you can collect and assemble. The individual cards represent famous events and personalities from the universe of The Elder Scrolls.
What kind of characters are these? Since the Blackwood expansion, the companion system has been introduced in Elder Scrolls Online. These are NPCs that you can unlock, train, and then equip as you wish. They then take a place in your group and can explore the open world with you. You can also use them in dungeons and trials, but the NPC friends have to stay out of PvP.
High Isle brings two new companions named Isobel and Spark. Both have their own quest lines, tailored personalities, and individual skills.
Spark is one of the cat-like Khajiit and often gets into trouble, from which you have to rescue her
Isobel comes from a good house and leads an orderly life, yet she is not a typical noble
The backstories and even the voice acting of the two companions are said to be more refined and interesting than was the case with the previous NPC allies.
Left Spark, right Isobel. You will explore their stories in High Isle.
New Items and Antiquities
What else is new? What cannot be missing in an expansion are of course new rewards. There will also be numerous rewards in High Isle, including new antiquities, collectibles, and more.
New sets and Mythic items have also been a major part of recent expansions. Although they are not explicitly announced for High Isle, we can assume that this addon will also have new equipment for you.
Additionally, an elf has already been shown as a new assistant, a brand-new two-player mount, and even a underwater house. So there is still plenty to do besides the main story of High Isle.
However, a new class is not included in this expansion and is not planned. Although the last class, the Necromancer, was released three years ago in 2019, fans are once again left empty-handed regarding new class mechanics with High Isle.
What do you think of the announced features? Is ESO High Isle something for you, and did our checklist help you figure that out? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.

Today marks the first day of the Pokémon GO Fest 2022. Here you will find all the content that awaits you on Saturday at a glance.
When does Day 1 start?The Pokémon GO Fest 2022 starts on Saturday at 10:00 AM and ends at 6:00 PM. It continues on Sunday, also at 10:00.
How can I participate? There are two options. Either you buy a ticket and get access to all the content of GO Fest 2022. Or you play without a ticket – but in that case, there are only limited features. For example, you can participate in raids, but you will not receive extra raid passes, exclusive spawns, or special research.
The Special Research: On Saturday, the special research begins, through which you can secure the mysterious Pokémon Shaymin in its land form – but only with a ticket. The research will offer you various paths to solve and some rewards.
The Habitats: On Saturday, various “habitats” will change hourly, where you will encounter different Pokémon. These are the habitats “City”, “Plain”, “Rainforest”, and “Tundra”. You can play each habitat twice on the GO Fest Saturday if you take the entire duration.
Global Challenges: Every hour there will be a global challenge that all trainers around the world must solve together. Once completed, a special bonus will be unlocked for the remainder of the hour – this can be extra XP, Stardust, and more. Additionally, the “Ultra Bonus” for a future event will be unlocked if enough challenges are completed.
Raids: On Saturday, various raids with interesting Pokémon will take place. Specifically, the 1-star raids with Dratini, which is otherwise very rare. There will also be a costumed Pikachu for GO Fest 2022.
In the legendary raids you can expect Kyogre and Groudon. Important: You can also challenge the raids even if you don’t have a ticket.
The secret raid boss announced for GO Fest 2022 will only appear on Day 2.
Exciting Pokémon and new Shinies: In the wild, you can encounter certain monsters that are usually not found very often, by using a ticket and incense. You also have a chance at different Shiny monsters.
5 Pokémon even celebrate their Shiny debut:
Dratini
Swablu
Gulpin
Shuckle
Dratini
Additionally, you can encounter the Incognito B, G, O, and U – also in their Shiny form.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
And here you can find the habitat spawns again at a glance:
All spawns in the habitats of GO Fest 2022 on the first day
During GO Fest 2022, trainers with tickets will receive several collector tasks, for which you need to collect the monsters from the habitats. Therefore, you should keep track of when which Pokémon are available.
All shiny opportunities are marked with an asterisk*.
If some monsters evade you on Saturday or you simply can’t find them, you also have another chance on Sunday. However, the Pokémon won’t appear in a timed manner, but randomly.
If you want to plan specific catches, be sure to check when each habitat takes place. You can find all other content of the Pokémon GO Fest 2022 in our guide.

These listed Solar changes will go live with hotfix 4.1.0.2 next week. Also, check in with Ikora. She is now also selling the last two fragments for your Solar super.
What will happen to the Iron Banner now? The Iron Banner has been transformed into a big event and will disappear for many weeks after the weekly reset on June 7. Bungie thus has enough time to adjust the listed bugs before the last Iron Banner of Season 17. Until then, Guardians will probably continue to struggle with the issues over the weekend.
What do you think of the terse TWaB regarding the Iron Banner? Would you have liked more information about upcoming adjustments, or are you even looking forward to the Solar 3.0 changes? Let us know in the comments!
The new TWaB from Destiny 2 has been revealed and many players hope that Bungie will finally address the serious issues in the tough PvP mode “Iron Banner”. But instead of naming upcoming changes, firstthe PvE is polished.
What’s going on in Destiny 2 right now? The Iron Banner is burning and the players too, as with the new mode “Rift” many Guardians had to change their play style to team play and also fight against many bugs.
Update on June 4 / 00:30 AM Bungie mentioned nothing about a quick hotfix for the issues in the Iron Banner event in the official blog post. However, dmg04, the Community Manager, gave players hope on Twitter. The team might possibly offer some solutions before the current Iron Banner event ends. This has now happened.
The following quick fixes have just been brought into the game by Bungie: – Challenges now grant reputation bonuses as intended, up to a maximum of 4 daily challenges. – Due to this problem, double Iron Banner reputation was activated for all players until the weekly reset. – The emblem “Heavy as Death” now correctly contributes to the Iron Banner reputation bonuses. – Step 5 of the “Forging Iron” quest now continues correctly even when Iron Banner ornaments are equipped.
Countless matches have either been won or lost decisively, and players are complaining about brutal bugs that make a relaxed and smooth match impossible. These problems include the following:
Unfair matchmaking – Mostly fights against 6-man teams that tear you apart
Teleport bug where you are stuck in a black screen
The spark disappears and can no longer be picked up
Various visual bugs during teleportation
These problems are so severe that fans of the loot shooter are resorting to threats against the developers. Therefore, players hoped that Bungie would finally list fixes in the new TWaB and plan them in advance, as the current Iron Banner event is ending soon. However, the development team is focusing, according to the latest announcements we know, primarily on PvE.
Solar 3.0 will be improved first
Bungie reports on the Iron Banner and clarifies how the new mode is intended. A focus on team play, where most kills are not the winning factor, but the cohesion of the squad.
It has been explained how to earn the most Iron Banner rank points and that Bungie’s team is working on the reported bugs and issues.
But whether and when these errors will be fixed was not mentioned. Instead, Bungie first addresses Solar 3.0 and at least offers adjustments for various classes there soon.
Were there problems with Solar 3.0? The Solar 3.0 praised by Bungie led to disillusionment for many Guardians, and Bungie acknowledged that the new abilities “didn’t blow anyone’s face off.” Especially, Warlocks suffer from the adjustments and nerfs of the fiery class.
The Warlock is struggling with his support
Where once a Well of Light provided an overshield, it now only regenerates your health. With Solar 3.0, the Warlock has thus been dethroned from his support throne. However, this is set to change with the upcoming adjustments.
Bungie has announced the following changes for the Warlock and Titan:
Warlock
Aspect adjustment – Heat Wave
Consuming your grenade unleashes a wave of restoration on you and your allies. Consuming a healing grenade enhances the healing effect. If you even use the aspect “Flaming Touch” and then consume a healing grenade, you will receive ongoing regeneration and additional bonuses.
Aspect adjustment – Icarus Dash
Enemies killed by your weapons or super while you are in the air heal you.
Super adjustment – Dawnblade
Each projectile of the Dawnblade adds 10 Scorch stacks to your enemies. This effect can be increased to 15 stacks with the fragment “Ember of Ashes”.
Titan
Super adjustment – Brandhammer
Damage is increased by 25% in PvE
Aspect adjustment – Roaring Flames
While Roaring Flames is active, your uncharged melee applies Solar damage to your enemies. Additionally, you can leave your enemies with 30 stacks of Scorch per melee, which can be increased to 40 stacks if you have the fragment “Ember of Ashes” equipped.
Aspect adjustment – Consecration
You can carry two fragments. The second flame shockwave of your melee is increased by 25%. This allows you to hit your enemies more safely who do not manage to dodge in time.
These listed Solar changes will go live with hotfix 4.1.0.2 next week. Also, check in with Ikora. She is now also selling the last two fragments for your Solar super.
What will happen to the Iron Banner now? The Iron Banner has been transformed into a big event and will disappear for many weeks after the weekly reset on June 7. Bungie thus has enough time to adjust the listed bugs before the last Iron Banner of Season 17. Until then, Guardians will probably continue to struggle with the issues over the weekend.

Welcome to Destiny 2 for a new edition of “Xur-live!” The exotic vendor with an affinity for the number Nine will arrive today to extract Legendary Shards from the Guardians. MeinMMO has picked up the trail to show you his offerings first.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? While the new story of Season 17 hasn’t revealed anything truly captivating yet, the Guardians are taking their time to calmly complete their collection of exotic armors.
The botched launch of the Iron Banner event with “Rift” has also led many PvP players to express their frustrations openly and even threaten Bungie employees. The players feel that their wishes have been ignored for too long, and some Guardians are dissatisfied with the changes and the current state of the space shooter overall.
Bungie will likely have to do a lot to regain their trust. A fix for the issues in Iron Banner might even come this week, as dmg04 revealed on Twitter. But that’s not certain. Because Bungie also announced that they would first address the problems in PvE, related to the underwhelming new Solar 3.0 abilities:
All info about Xur on June 3, 2022 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur come? The most famous vendor from Destiny 2 starts his show every Friday at 7:00 PM. Anyone who brings a few Legendary Shards and other materials for trading can browse his offerings.
Where is Xur? This is his location for the weekend
Xur’s location: We do not yet know where exactly Xur will be this week. However, MeinMMO knows the locations of Xur and has already tracked him down. This week you need to go to Nessus to the Guardian’s grave.
Xur is on Nessus.
Xur’s inventory from June 3 – June 7 – All Exotics at a glance
What does Xur have to offer? For all Guardians who do not know Xur yet: He is an exotic vendor of the “Nine”, an ominous race in Destiny 2, and delivers new weapons and armor to players every week on their behalf. All characters, including Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans, can shop with him.

Nexxoss Gaming gives you a closer look at Xur’s inventory.
Xur also sells Legendary items and offers unique rolls for Exotics from no longer available exotic missions from past DLCs every week.
Currently, he has these two weapons on offer:
The exotic hand cannon “The Last Word” with the perk “Hip-Fire Grip”
The exotic scout rifle “The Tale of a Dying Star” with the perk “Vorpal Weapon”
The cost of the weapons: For these two Exotics, the price is 1 Ascendant Shard, 1 Exotic Engram, 125,000 Glimmer and 200 Legendary Shards.
Xur always has: You can always get an Exotic Engram for 97 Legendary Shards from Xur, as well as the weekly quest to obtain an exotic code.
“In the dark age, we called that ‘fun’.
This weekend, there will still be no “Trials of Osiris” taking place. Valus Forge, the new Cabal name of Lord Saladin, awaits you in the Tower for the Iron Banner.
The Trials of Osiris will start for the first time in Season 17 on June 10.
At least the wait is worth it because, unlike the Iron Banner, the Trials of Osiris have been equipped with a new loot package during the “Season of the Haunted.” This includes new weapons as well as armor, a Sparrow, and a ghost shell.
Will you drop by Xur tonight and check his offerings or do you currently have no interest in the Destiny universe? Feel free to leave us a comment.

The Pokémon GO Fest 2022 not only brings wild spawns but also different raids on both event days. Which ones are particularly worth it?
What role do raids play at GO Fest 2022? Basically, there is a new monster pool for the raids on the GO Fest weekend on June 4th and 5th. You will encounter a few monsters that are otherwise not available.
The interesting thing is: You can also challenge these monsters even without a GO Fest ticket. At the same time, with the GO Fest ticket, you get up to 9 raid passes on Saturday and Sunday when you spin gyms. Then raiding is definitely worth it.
What raids are available? Here we show you the complete list of raids available over the weekend and then take a closer look at 5 monsters that are really worth it.
Possible shiny encounters are marked with an asterisk*.
Raids on Saturday:

Raids on Sunday:

Which 5 raids are really worth it?
Here we look at raids where your raid passes are well spent.
Milza
Milza and its evolutions
This is what makes Milza special: The little dragon has been one of the most sought-after Pokémon in the game over the past few months, as Milza has been extremely hard to obtain. With the 1-star raids, Milza is now really easy to get for the first time – although you still have to find them, of course. You can also get its shiny form with a bit of luck.
By the way: On Saturday, the monster is also supposed to spawn in the wild during the GO Fest 2022 when the habitat for the plain is active.
However, Milza is particularly exciting not only because of its rarity. Its final evolution, Maxax, is among the best dragon attackers overall and is only surpassed by a few monsters in this category – including the next one on this list.
Brutalanda
Brutalanda is a strong dragon monster
This is what makes Brutalanda special: Brutalanda is listed above Maxax among dragon attackers and is definitely worth a raid if you still need a good specimen. Additionally, you can also get a lot of candies from the raid if you already have a good Brutalanda.
For those who have missed this monster so far, the raid is definitely worthwhile. A small downside: You cannot obtain the shiny variant in the raid.
Kyogre
Kyogre and its shiny form
This is what makes Kyogre special: The legendary water Pokémon is one of the absolute best water attackers in Pokémon GO and thus one of the best monsters at GO Fest.
When it comes to Kyogre, your raid passes are never wasted – unless you already have perfect specimens of the powerful water monster. But even then, you can still hunt for the shiny variant, which is available in raids.
This is what makes Groudon special: Groudon is the counterpart to Kyogre and can also boast very good stats. It is among the best attackers in the game and has a really striking shiny variant.
But whoever it will be, it is likely to be worth a raid – if only because a new Pokémon can be caught here.

What about the other raids?
This is what makes the other raids special: The remaining raids at GO Fest 2022 are not necessarily bad, but many are more situational and do not impress with super strong monsters.
Therefore, let’s take a quick look at these raids:
Costumed Pikachu: This is for collectors, but it doesn’t bring much in raids or PvP. Shiny hunters can try to catch the shiny form.
Arboretoss, Marikeck, and Miezunder: These are the second forms of the Alolan starters. All three were very easy to obtain during the Alolan season, as the starters were frequently seen in the wild.
All three are currently outclassed by other monsters in their respective types. Currently, only Marikeck with the evolution Primarene is really interesting, as it is a strong water attacker. Additionally, you cannot obtain any of these three as shiny.
Wuffels: Cute Pokémon that evolves into a cool Pokémon, but is currently not particularly interesting in raids or PvP. The shiny form can be caught – which may be an incentive.
Shardrago: Is rather useless in raids and only fills niche roles in PvP. However, it has a shiny form that can be caught.
Relaxo: Is a popular gym defender and has its uses in PvP – but is not particularly good in raids. You can also catch its shiny form with some luck. It is only included in this part of the list because it is now quite old, and many may already have it. If you are still missing one: Go find it.
The Weekly Reset brought in Destiny 2 the rework of the Iron Banner event and the PvP mode “Rift”. After an already weak start to the current Season 17, the Guardians hoped for some fresh wind. But when that didn’t happen, the frustration among some players led to a few extremely angry reactions. MeinMMO tells you what happened.
What did the community criticize? Already after a few matches in “Rift” it was clear for many: This is not fun! The PvP mode would play worse than Control or other activities that were once part of the Iron Banner.
Update from June 3rd / 5:50 PM: On Twitter, Liana Ruppert, Bungie’s Community Manager, has just released another, more detailed statement regarding the incidents.
In it, she addresses the hateful comments again and states that many studios have a strict “No Talk” policy with social networks exactly because of such behavior from players. Many of the things that Destiny players wish for are already in progress, but cannot be discussed yet because things change, plans fail, or sometimes no longer make sense.
As far as the Bungie team is concerned, they will continue to listen to player feedback and continue discussions about the future.
You can read the complete feedback from the Community Manager on Twitter.
Some players were correspondingly frustrated and angry. Others shared possible improvements with Bungie, such as:
The black loading screen when teams are ported to the starting point
A missing match display between rounds showing individual performance
The number of rounds currently played in Rift mode
Bugs that cause the spark not to spawn and make the game impossible
As well as difficult-to-understand information on challenges, which caused confusion
The Community Managers of Destiny 2 received the Guardians’ feedback on Twitter and Reddit, as well as in the official Bungie forum, inquired about further points of criticism, answered questions, and also gave helpful tips.
Among them was not only Dylan “dmg04” Gafner, the Senior Community Manager, but also Liana “Hippy” Ruppert, Bungie’s newest Community Manager.

Player frustration turns into pure hate: What initially was solely criticism of a gameplay mode later turned into insults and vile slurs directed towards Bungie and its employees.
This became known when Liana “Hippy” Ruppert reported on Twitter the consequences of the physical threats against her. She reported threats and “honestly atrocious” insults.

At this point, parts of the Destiny 2 community had clearly crossed the line between constructive criticism of a game and pure hate driven by personal frustration and anger.
As Liana Ruppert writes in a recent Twitter post: “It’s not just ‘mean words’, […] I don’t care. It’s the ones who have stalked me and put me in the hospital, sending images of dead women to my address, and so much more”

After the Community Manager’s post, it was understandably important for many Destiny 2 players to publicly distance themselves from the behavior of such toxic threats.
Like the player wtfixur, who tweeted:
The people who work hard to develop our favorite games deserve respect, and those who support players even more. It is perfectly acceptable to have complaints about the game: However, address them respectfully through the right channels. Attacking individuals is NEVER okay.
And the Destiny 2 player PDark also commented questioningly on Twitter:
The sheer anger that people can show over… mistakes in a video game that burns so bright and hot that it has to be directed at the employees of this game is incredible. How do they do it? How can they become so angry and toxic?
Destiny 2 between constructive PvP criticism and pure hate
#BeBetter – Threats don’t make sense when constructive criticism is called for.
For some time now, some players have been dissatisfied with Bungie and the provided content in Destiny 2. Their criticism relates not only to the currently available content but also to the activities of the current Season 17, which some Guardians find disappointing.
The current issues of “Rift” in Iron Banner have stirred old emotions in some players that have maybe been building up for years.
The fact is that the community is largely so toxic and ungrateful that, no matter what Bungie does, it’s all wrong […]. I don’t understand the people who say: “Bungie has messed up everything since Shadowkeep”. “Bungie has been ruining everything since D2”. As if you’ve been playing a game for 5 years just to hate it. Then just leave the game and free up the servers.
The incident also highlights a growing problem that extends beyond Destiny 2 and has been present for years: Both game developers and their employees have to endure increasing personal insults, hostility, or even threats while doing their jobs.
Frustrations are one thing, but the current discourse surrounding the new mode Rift could not be further from being productive.
Bungie has already announced that they will address the above and other player criticisms regarding the Iron Banner and the PvP mode “Rift” as soon as possible. Whether that will be enough for the players remains to be seen. However, if Bungie announces concrete fixes or changes, we will inform you.
Dylan Gafner (dmg04), Senior Community Manager, also wrote on Twitter: “We’re listening” is always the first step when it comes to feedback.”
In the coming days leading up to the Weekly Reset on June 7, Bungie intends to utilize the constructive and further feedback from players while addressing the already known issues.
The Community Manager also points out that the newly integrated mode “Rift” will have a “learning curve” in Destiny 2 and “defeating enemies is only a small part of the puzzle”.
What do you think about the hate from the community? Do you agree and believe Destiny 2 is no longer a place you want to be? Or do you believe in the Destiny universe and trust that Bungie will find viable solutions for players and that deep-rooted hate makes no sense? We would love to read your opinions on this topic in the comments.
