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.

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:
Start video
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.

During GO Fest 2022, you can encounter numerous Pokémon in the wild, as well as in raids. Some of the monsters will even celebrate their shiny debut. Below we have summarized which Pokémon you can encounter with and without a ticket and where you can find them.
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:
New Shinies: The following monsters will be available for the first time in their shiny form in the game, making this your chance to secure a corresponding specimen:
Magnetilo: Magnezone is strong in the Super League
Larvitar: Despotar is one of the best rock and dark attackers
Rotomurf: Stalobor is a strong ground & steel attacker and additionally shines in the Master League
Knilz: Kapilz is a strong fighting and grass attacker
Laukaps: Cavalanzas is a strong bug attacker
Tropius: is strong in the Super League
Quiekel: Mamutel is one of the strongest ice Pokémon and excels in the Master League
Meditie: Meditalis can make a big impact in the Super League
Seemops: Walraisa is among the best in all three PvP leagues
Arktip: can impress as Arktilas in the Master League
Robball: another top candidate in the Master League is Primarene
Galar-Flampion: Gala-Flampivian is one of the best ice attackers
Kyogre: the best water attacker in Pokémon GO
Groudon: is a strong legendary ground Pokémon
Relaxo: is one of the best gym defenders

More interesting Pokémon: In addition to the new shinies and strong Pokémon, Pokémon that you rarely encounter in the game will also be available during GO Fest. If you still need a specimen for the Pokédex or are looking for a shiny version, you should also keep the following Pokémon in mind:
Klikk*
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.

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:

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:

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.
