Destiny 2: Xur today – location and offers on 27.05.

Today Xur will make his first appearance in Destiny 2 during Season 17. As always, he has his exotic items with him, and perhaps some other items that you miss in your collection. MeinMMO will meet with him to show you his offerings first.

What happened this week in Destiny 2? Bungie has launched its new Season 17, the “Season of the Haunted.” However, so far, the Guardians are only plagued by a drought of content and are asking: “Is that all there is?” Aside from the new patrol zone and the two activities with voice lines for the story, everything is actually quite sparse. Whether Bungie has an ace up its sleeve remains to be seen.

At least the new dungeon “Duality” is already on the starting blocks. Check out the current trailer here:

In the eyes of some players, this new dungeon offers visually cool loot. All weapons from the latest dungeon have a red aura and a unique design. Additionally, there’s the new weapon exotic, the sword “Heartshadow,” which can be earned in the dungeon, including the associated catalyst.

  • The launch of the new dungeon “Duality” is today at 7:00 PM, right after the weekly reset.

And for all explorers who haven’t said goodbye to this Season 17 yet, we have a tip on how you can get a little more loot – and even another “Calus bobblehead.”

The Trials of Osiris are taking a break

The new weapons from the dungeon “Duality,” which starts today at 7 PM.

This weekend, there are no “Trials of Osiris” taking place. Fans of PvP can have fun this weekend in Dynamic Control or dare into PvE and explore the new dungeon “Duality” along with the loot.

  • The Trials of Osiris will start for the first time in Season 17 on June 10.

At least the waiting time is worth it, as the Trials have been equipped with a new loot package in the “Season of the Haunted.” This includes new weapons, armor, a Sparrow, and a Ghost shell.

Additionally, the revamped Iron Banner event with Lord Saladin starts on Tuesday, May 31, at 7:00 PM. Players will then be able to discover and evaluate the changes that Bungie made to the popular PvP mode.

Do you believe Season 17 will gain some traction again, or do you see no hope for a refreshing breeze of content through events and new PvP content? Feel free to leave us a comment about your thoughts.

Vampires, beware: Cheaters in V Rising can destroy your progress

Some players currently complain in V Rising that they are losing their progress. The culprit is servers that disappear or are reset – even though they appear to be “official.” A helpful vampire explains how to prevent this.

What is the problem? Many players set up their own servers in V Rising, for instance, to avoid problems with the decay of castles. The servers can be freely named and some operators exploit this.

They describe their server as “official,” making it seem as if the game world is provided directly by the developers. However, it is not; it is in private hands.

This means: On the private server, an admin has the power to do whatever he wants. He can reset the server, take it offline, or change the rules. All players on it are affected.

How can I protect myself? The reddit user ImSavageAF explains that you can recognize whether a server is actually official or just claims to be by a small symbol. If you see a small, angular spiral before the name (the symbol of Stunlock Studios), then the server is directly from the developers.

V Rising no official servers
The Stunlock symbols (in green) indicate true, official servers. The one marked in red is not official.

In all other cases, it is a fan server that only calls itself official. Here, you risk losing your progress if the admin decides so.

There is a larger discussion in the thread. Many thank others for the hint, and some report that they have indeed lost many hours of work for this reason. Others say private servers are actually even better.

Unofficial servers also have advantages

What differences are there? Basically, the game runs the same on private and official servers. There may only be some differences in speed and rules under certain circumstances.

Private servers can use their own settings such as increased resources, more or less damage, different day and night cycles, and PvP rules. Additionally, you never know how the admin will decide the next day.

Official servers are always the same. They operate on the standard settings of the corresponding modes, and everyone has the same conditions. Here, you normally do not lose server-side progress, but players do sometimes report connectivity issues. Moreover, official servers are often very crowded, so there may not always be space to log in or to build in the world.

And what is better now? Private servers can be a gamble. As the reddit user dd179 writes: “Unofficial servers with a good community are significantly better than official ones. Official ones have no moderation and no punishment for those who grief you.”

Conversely, there is the experience of Excite_Throwaway: “Somehow I played for 2 hours with a friend when we were suddenly teleported to someone’s castle for a bloodbath. Everyone was dumbfounded.” Another time, the admin helped unsolicited with a boss. “I just want to exist normally, man.”

You must therefore decide for yourself what you prefer. If you just want to explore the game anyway and not play with strangers, you can simply start a private game. There you are alone or only with friends.

What else you need to know about V Rising can be found in the handy 2-minute video here:

Start video
All info about the new vampire survival MMO ‘V Rising’ on Steam – in 2 minutes

By the way, you can now also simply play offline or create LAN servers. This means you don’t even need an internet connection anymore. If you want to be completely sure that you do not lose progress, you can fall back on this option.

If you are interested in V Rising, you should not be put off by such stories. If you pay attention to where you play, you should not have any problems – especially if you start with friends. And even starting later is not too much of a hurdle:

Can I still start with the new Steam hit V Rising or will I get wrecked by everyone?

Twitch streamer feels the full wrath of hardcore football fans: “I have never divided people so much”

Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler is very successful on Twitch and YouTube, but sometimes causes discussions. There was quite a stir surrounding the soccer match Hamburger SV against Hertha BSC – before the game, Trymacs drew the ire of some fans with a ticket call.

Who is it about? Trymacs is one of the most successful Twitch streamers ever. The 27-year-old is active in all possible categories: from Clash of Clans to GTA Online RP to opening Pokémon card packs, it’s all there.

Trymacs finds many fans with his easygoing nature, but also has his critics – for example, because he poured a ton of money into FIFA packs.

In terms of events, Trymacs is also in demand. For example, he boxed against his fellow streamer MckyTV, which attracted many viewers, but also resulted in a wrist injury. In addition, he plans to assemble his own soccer team this summer.

However, during another event, some fans did not want to see him: the relegation match to the Bundesliga between Hamburger SV and Hertha BSC.

Ticket call brings trouble – big discussion about stadium visit

What was the problem? Before the second leg Hamburger SV against Hertha BSC, Trymacs called out that he wanted to buy tickets for the game – and offered 400 euros per piece. He also wanted to make a VLOG from the stadium.

This, however, did not sit well with some fans: there was some harsh criticism on social media from soccer fans regarding the call.

Offering so much money for tickets fuels the black market and would take away the chance for real fans to get into the stadium. Moreover, Trymacs, as a content creator, who is not really there for the game but only for the video, is considered out of place.

Why was this game so important? The game was crucial for HSV regarding promotion to the Bundesliga, while Hertha BSC aimed to avoid relegation to the 2nd league – so it was an incredibly important game. As a fan, this is one of those matches you tell stories about for years.

Accordingly, the demand for tickets is high – and it easily happens that tickets are offered at exorbitant prices. A suitable comparison might be the problem with PS5 scalpers, who secure numerous consoles to make a profit while “normal” consumers are left empty-handed.

Even in soccer, the potential of such a situation is comparable, especially for such important games – if not even a bit stronger, because many soccer fans are extremely emotionally attached to their club. Additionally, some differentiate between “true fans” and “event visitors” – that is, people who are wholeheartedly there and those who come just as a means to an end.

It doesn’t sit well when someone publicly offers a lot of money to still get tickets.

Link to the YouTube content

This is how Trymacs reacted: Trymacs addressed the issue in two videos on YouTube – in both, he mentions a “shitstorm” from HSV fans.

Many fans are “really angry”, he shares, and shows tweets where, for instance, the hashtag “Against Influencers in the Stadium” is used. It is mentioned that Trymacs is not welcome in the stadium, which sometimes leads to very heated discussions.

Trymacs himself commented that he used to often attend HSV summer camps, even had a season ticket, and followed HSV’s promotion fight: “And now I’m banned from the stadium because I’m a YouTuber,” says Trymacs (via YouTube).

He compares this to other matters where he has experienced something similar. The first time with Minecraft, Minecraft fans were upset, with GTA RP some GTA fans were mad, and some people think he shouldn’t box: “I want to play FIFA for the first time, I get a FIFA ban because someone has been playing FIFA since 2004. It’s the same in every game.”

He didn’t expect such anger with soccer. He does enjoy provoking people sometimes, but this time he didn’t want that at all.

This is how viewers react: In the YouTube comments, opinions from both sides can be found. Some think it’s good that Trymacs wants to go to the stadium – and also support the VLOG. That way they can at least experience some of the atmosphere if they can’t be there themselves. HSV fans also chime in, stating that they can’t share the hate, especially since he has had connections with HSV.

“Hello Max, I’m an HSV fan and was also there in Berlin, sadly I didn’t get tickets for our home game, it happens, we could have filled the stadium four times. I understand both sides and everyone should try to empathize, of course it has added value if Max comes to the stadium and makes a vlog, it’s cooler content. I believe the Ultras just want to create the coolest atmosphere possible in the stadium. And the likelihood that you will yell along at every chant is significantly lower than with other fans. That’s just how it is, I didn’t get a ticket either, but wish you a lot of fun in Volkspark💙🤍🖤

Timm Locke (via Youtube)

Others feel that influencers shouldn’t be there when they have nothing to do with the club because there are many fans who feel so much more. Just the fact of going to such a “deciding game” but not before does not sit well.

This is how it all ended

Ultimately, Trymacs managed to attend the game despite the criticism and recorded it as promised in the VLOG:

Together with MckyTV and his brother, Trymacs visited the Hamburger Volksparkstadion to watch the game live and take in some fan atmosphere.

At the very beginning of the video, he addresses the controversy once again:

People were discussing passionately; you can see that here as well. I’ve never split people so much. Many are really excited that I’m making a VLOG, they want photos with me. It’s ultra cool. The others keep shouting “son of a whore” and throwing trash. That’s definitely the contrast.

How did it go with the tickets? In the video, Trymacs explains that he ultimately did not buy any tickets – instead, he got them through a contact, which is why Micky is also there. “It was a fail that I said I wanted to buy expensive tickets,” he notes.

In the video, it can be seen how Trymacs walks through the stadium, interacts with fans, downs a beer or two, and ultimately stands in the stands.

During the game, the streamer was hopeful that HSV would still manage to get promoted to the Bundesliga despite being behind. In the end, however, it did not work out – Hertha BSC won the game and maintained their status.

In the realm of gaming, soccer often comes up – through FIFA, but also in other contexts: for example, a football coach played so much Football Manager that it helped his career.

The title image comes from Trymacs’ react video on YouTube.

You can now almost play Final Fantasy XIV as a single player – But is the MMORPG fun to play solo?

Final Fantasy XIV has taken a big step towards solo players with Patch 6.1, thereby approaching the origins of the popular game series. But how well does playing without other players work, and is it even fun?

How are solo players supported? Both Final Fantasy XIV and numerous other MMORPGs can present a frustrating challenge for players who prefer to go solo rather than experience a game in a group.

Players in Final Fantasy XIV can experience aspects of the game with a group of specially selected NPC characters instead of three other players through the so-called Trust system. This now even allows solo players to play dungeons from the expansions Shadowbringers, Endwalker, and A Realm Reborn.

Expert Opinion: Is Final Fantasy XIV solo playable?

Who are the experts? Is it possible for solo players to play certain content now without other players? But how well does that work in practice? The online gaming magazine IGN spoke with three content creators who can be classified as “Final Fantasy XIV” experts.

The following individuals are the experts:

  • Zepla/ Jessica St. John, YouTuber and Twitch streamer, 300,000 subscribers on YouTube
  • Quazii, YouTuber and Twitch streamer, approx. 60,000 subscribers on YouTube
  • MrHappy/ Michael Poveromo, YouTuber & Twitch streamer, approx. 200,000 subscribers on YouTube

What does Zepla say? One of these experts is YouTuber Jessica ‘Zepla’ St. John. In an interview with IGN, she stated that the Trust system is a good solo alternative to group content. However, she added that some activities like raids can still only be played in a group with other players.

One of her suggestions for improvement relates to the damage caused by NPC group members in dungeons. According to Zepla, this is significantly lower than that of an average player, causing solo activities to take noticeably longer.

What does Quazii say? According to Quazii, Final Fantasy XIV is primarily a single-player RPG, as he stated to IGN. Secondarily, the title is an MMORPG. He further says that the game’s biggest appeal lies in its storytelling.

Regarding the experience as a solo player, Quazii mentioned that it is possible to play the story of the expansion A Realm Reborn completely alone.

If you ask FF14 players what they enjoyed most in the game, the vast majority would say that it is the single-player quest experience. Especially when working through the main quest of the story. […] I’m not someone who cries at video games, but this game brought me to tears.

Content creator Quazii to IGN

What does MrHappy say? Content creator MrHappy believes that the Trust system allows solo players to experience the story of Final Fantasy XIV. However, he also believes that it will take a long time before players can play the entire main scenario of the title alone.

Together with Zepla, the streamer supports the retention of content that is exclusively meant for multiplayer. MrHappy expressed to IGN the assumption that maintaining such multiplayer content is meant to encourage players to play dungeons with other players.

Overall, Zepla and MrHappy feel it is good that Final Fantasy 14, as an MMORPG, is trying to provide alternatives for solo players, but they also think that group play should be promoted.

Conclusion from the experts: Is Final Fantasy XIV suitable for solo players? The three content creators agree with IGN that Final Fantasy 14 is suitable for solo players. MrHappy even thinks that MMOs can learn a lot from Square Enix’s MMORPG.

Zepla expresses the thought that creating new paths for solo players is crucial for the growth of the MMO genre, while Quazii finds it difficult to find a title comparable to Final Fantasy XIV in terms of its single-player story.

The entry into Final Fantasy XIV certainly has some hurdles. Players need to learn numerous game mechanics and classes before they can dive into the challenging content like dungeons and raids.

Especially for new players, it is helpful when experienced players share previously acquired knowledge. But even seasoned players can always learn something new. Good preparation is not only crucial for solo players.

Destiny 2: Nightmare Containment offers more loot than you think – Here’s how to find the additional treasure chests

In Destiny 2, most players have already completed the seasonal activity “Nightmare Containment” multiple times. But have you opened all the secret doors on the Derelict Leviathan? If not, you may have missed out on some loot. MeinMMO reveals how to find these extra treasure chests.

During the “Season of the Haunted,” Guardians in Destiny 2 can currently play “Nightmare Containment,” a free public event. It is one of the seasonal activities on the Derelict Leviathan and grants a regular loot chest at level 3.

What kind of extra treasure chests are there? In addition to this regular loot from level 3, there are also extra hidden treasure chests to be found during the Nightmare Containment activity that are not so easily discoverable.

These additional loot chests are behind locked doors that players must first search for. They can only be opened when players receive the prompt “Lock protocols in the Castell have been temporarily suspended” at the lower left corner of the screen.

This is what the prompt looks like when the secret doors open.

MeinMMO tells you how you can lift this lock protocol and especially where you can find the additional loot chests.

The public event “Nightmare Containment” on the Derelict Leviathan.

How to lift the lock protocol of the Nightmare Containment?

In order to lift the lock protocol, you must first play the activity “Nightmare Containment” up to level 3.

  • When you reach level 3 of the Nightmare Containment and defeat the boss, a 2-minute timer starts.
  • Now the lock protocol is lifted, and the message “Lock protocols in the Castell have been temporarily suspended” appears.
  • The prompt at the lower left of the screen informs you how many chests you can now find and open.

Here’s how to find the five secret doors

There are a total of five of these secret doors in the Castell on the Derelict Leviathan. They are quite hidden in niches, but still recognizable by the red lights. Each door also has a switch that you must activate to open it.

Once you know how many doors are unlocked for you at level 3, you can use the two-minute timer to find out which of them are open.

Whoever opens the secret door discovers a hidden loot chest.

Pay attention to the visual and audio cues: To make it easier, Bungie has added visual markers for you. Additionally, the switches of the doors emit a consistent beep that you can hear as you get closer.

Despite all these clues, it’s good to know where you need to run. Because the Leviathan is huge, and the time to open the secret chests is limited.

All locations of the secret doors in the Castell:

  • 1 Door: Left side next to the boss area of the Nightmare Containment in a side room
  • 2 Door: Right side next to the boss area of the Nightmare Containment in a side room
  • 3 Door: From the Castell spawn point immediately to the left
  • 4 Door: Above the round central area at the exit leading to the Gardens of Desire
  • 5 Door: Left of the spawn, near the curved ramp that leads downward

Destiny 2 players have already created a map of the Derelict Leviathan, where you can also see the locations of the secret doors.

By the way: Behind one of these secret doors is also a bobblehead of Calus that you need to complete the seasonal quest triumph “Biggest Fan” and the Season title “Reaper.” If you discover all the bobbleheads, the triumph rewards you with the “Eidolon” ghost shell.

Have you already discovered all the secret chests and picked up the extra loot? What do you think of the activity itself? Does the strong Season 17 storyline with the interesting event voicelines about exploring the “Duality of Existence” captivate you, or do you find it boring? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

School trains 3,117 witchers, must now close – Apparently due to a single woman

In Poland, there is a school that has been training live-action role players like Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher, since 2015. This was done for 7 years with a license from CD Projekt Red. But that is now over. The reason for losing the license appears to be the connections of a lawyer associated with the school to a Polish think tank with radical political views.

That was the idea of the school:

  • The idea of the school was for people to arrive and experience a completely immersive experience as if they were attending a school where they are trained to become a Witcher.
  • The school advertised that the experience was like in a movie, only that you could influence the events. They even guaranteed “real emotions” (via witcherschool)
  • One day at the school included class hours, lessons in archery or sword fighting, and of course the all-important monster lore.

School must close – loses the license

This is what the school says: In a Facebook post from the Witcher School, it is stated (via fb):

“It has been 7 wonderful years, 40 organized outings, many hundreds of participants worked on the event, 3,117 trained Witchers from 54 countries participated, and at least 2,841 monsters were slain.”

They started as children fighting with sticks and never expected that their own Witcher school would come of it.

Company believes false reports are to blame

Why is this ending now? The post sounds like a farewell because it is one: CD Projekt Red has revoked the license from the company behind the school.

As stated in a company statement (via FB), they lost the license because the wife of one of the founders worked as a lawyer to draft a licensing agreement with CD Projekt Red.

Additionally, the woman worked as a lawyer for various organizations, including “Ordo Iuris”, an “association with right-wing and Catholic views,” as described by the Witcher School.

In March 2022, an article appeared claiming that the lawyer was working simultaneously for the Witcher School and for Ordo Iuris. The school states that this is not true, as the lawyer has not worked for the Witcher School since 2019, but at the time the report with this claim came out, CD Projekt Red revoked the school’s license to the Witcher.

They wanted to clarify this with CD Projekt Red, but no agreement was reached. The Witcher School itself does not want to interfere in the private matters of its employees.

CD Projekt Red says: No comment

What does CD Projekt Red say? In a statement to Eurogamer, it is said that the cooperation was terminated in February, and three months later the deadline expired. They do not want to comment further on the matter.

Founder’s wife worked for think tank opposing abortion and LGBTQ+ rights

What is the problem now? What the Witcher School refers to as an organization with “Catholic views,” Ordo Iuris, is a controversial think tank that has earned a reputation as an organization opposed to abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and divorce.

Apparently, CD Projekt Red, which is itself in the crosshairs of public opinion, wanted no connection to such an organization – even if the connection is tenuous. The school also emphasizes in its statements that the lawyer is just one of hundreds of contributors and she has had nothing to do with the school for years.

The school apparently believes that press articles that established this connection have calculated this to lead to the closure now.

The Witcher studio, CD Projekt Red, is itself struggling with some problems:

Blizzard says the new social contract for WoW is “just the beginning”

In World of Warcraft there are many changes coming – and we are not talking about updates and expansions. The game is supposed to become less toxic, more welcoming for everyone. To achieve this, Blizzard has devised new rules and will soon require everyone to sign their “Social Contract.”

How will WoW become more enjoyable? Back in April, dataminers discovered that there will be a Social Contract in WoW. This mandates your signature and acknowledgment that there are certain behavioral rules in the MMORPG.

At its core, it states exactly what the terms of service say: Be nice and friendly to others, do not behave like an axe in the woods, and do not insult anyone. Now Blizzard promises in a blog post even more.

Among other things, the reporting system is set to improve. If you report a player to penalize toxic behavior, you will receive a thank-you email from Blizzard. If the player is punished, you will get another email.

If you have been reported yourself, you will also receive a message with information about it.

What does this mean for me? There isn’t a really big change, even though it sounds like a lot. When you log in, you will be greeted by the new contract that you must then sign – similar to terms of service and EULA.

The rules are not new but have always had to be followed. So you do not have to pay more attention than you already do; it just emphasizes them once again.

The reporting system is supposed to be a bit easier. After right-clicking on the player’s name and selecting the “Report Player” option, a popup appears. There you can, similar to a ticket, select a category and provide additional information for the report.

“This is just the beginning”

What else is coming? Blizzard talks about these measures being just the first step to making World of Warcraft better. It says:

These updates are just the beginning of our efforts to create a better place for you to spend your time. We know Azeroth is special for many of you, and we want to ensure it remains a place you call home.

It’s also about further improving the reporting system, but there is no concrete information yet about additional measures.

In our podcast, we discuss the pitfalls Blizzard is encountering – Can the new rules change the tone of interaction?

When will all this go live? Some of the changes are already in place, such as an improvement to the reporting system. More improvements and the Social Contract with the upcoming Patch 9.2.5, which will be released on June 1.

Signing the Social Contract will soon be mandatory if you want to play and will also be necessary for the upcoming expansion Dragonflight. Dragonflight is the next expansion after Shadowlands. We do not know exactly when it will be released – first, Season 4 is expected to come out in the summer:

Pokémon GO: Research Breakthrough in June 2022 with Klikk – Is it worth it?

In Pokémon GO, you can expect an encounter with Klikk as part of the research breakthrough in June. We at MeinMMO examined whether this Pokémon is worth it.

What is the research breakthrough? By spinning PokéStops, you receive so-called field research tasks that you can complete. These will be displayed in the “Field” view in the game and can also be redeemed there.

If you complete at least one of these tasks for 7 days, you will receive an additional reward in the form of the research breakthrough. In June, you can encounter Klikk. You can track your progress using the stamps above the field research tasks.

Research breakthrough with Klikk – Duration & Shiny

How long will Klikk be available in the research breakthrough? On June 1, 2022, at 10:00 PM local time, Klikk will replace the previous Pokémon Alola-Sleima in the research breakthrough. It will be available until July 1, 2022, at 10:00 PM local time.

What kind of Pokémon is Klikk? Klikk is a Steel-type Pokémon from Generation 5. It evolves into Klikdiklak through Kliklak. Visually, it resembles two silver gears that rotate and interlock. Outside of the research breakthrough, Klikk is usually only obtainable from 10 km eggs or occasionally from Level 1 raids.

Can you catch Shiny Klikk? Yes, Klikk is also available in its shiny form in the game. You can recognize it by its golden color.

Klikk normal (left) and shiny (right)

Is the research breakthrough with Klikk worth it?

How strong is Klikk: Klikk is not particularly strong for a Steel-type Pokémon. Its two evolutions are also not among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. They do not play a role in raids and PvP battles.

Is Klikk still worth it? Although Klikk and its evolutions are not the best monsters in the game, the research breakthrough is still worth it. This small Pokémon is not so easy to obtain in the game, as it does not spawn in the wild and only occasionally hatches from 10 km eggs or can be found in Level 1 raids.

So if you want to register Klikk or its evolutions in your PokéDex, this is an opportunity to gather a few candies you need for evolving. Additionally, with a bit of luck, you may even have the chance to encounter a shiny version.

What do you think about the research breakthrough in June? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments!

In the coming weeks, there will be a lot happening in Pokémon GO. We will show you all the events that you can expect in June and which ones are particularly worth it.

Fortnite: Live event has an official date – „Collision” will be the grand finale of Season 2, Chapter 3

Fortnite will host the big live event “Collision” next week to close Season 2, Chapter 3. We’ll show you all the important information, the date, and how to participate here.

When does the Fortnite live event take place? The live event “Collision” will take place on June 4, 2022. It starts at 10:00 PM. How long it will last is still unknown – in the past, it has usually been around a quarter to half an hour.

How can I participate? Basically, anyone who plays Fortnite can join the event. You just need to be there on time: to be safe, you should log into the game at least 30 minutes before the event starts – the playlist for the event should be unlocked then.

In the past, there have been issues due to full servers when joining later. Therefore, punctuality pays off.

Important: The event only takes place once and only at this time.

How many players do I need? The announcement mentions “teams of four players”. However, it is expected that there will also be the opportunity to team up with random players during the event. At least that was the case in previous events.

But what can we expect in the event?

Collision ends Season 2, Chapter 3 in Fortnite

What kind of event is this? The title Collision is likely related to the clashing organizations the “Seven” and the “IO”. Their conflict has been ongoing throughout the season and is expected to reach a new level in the event.

Because: Previous events in Fortnite have been “big” and often brought significant changes – such as a complete flooding of the map or flipping the island.

The official description states that the “fate of the Zero Point” will be decided. Accordingly, there should be quite some action in “Collision”.

That was a huge event back then:

Fortnite: The One Time a Black Hole Swallowed You All

What is already known? There isn’t too much information about the content yet. Leaks have suggested that it could possibly go to outer space.

In addition, two objects are known that will likely play a significant role:

  • Currently, there is a huge tower on the map, the “Collider”, which regularly shoots laser beams into the sky. This appears to be the ultimate weapon of the IO.

The Collider of the IO is already on the map

von Christos Tsogos

You should also receive a reward if you log into the game on June 4 starting at 2:00 PM: a loading screen and lobby music.

Furthermore, after the event, the current battle pass will also end. This is important if you still have resources to spend.

What should I do before the season ends? Make sure to spend any remaining battle stars from the battle pass on the rewards you want. Otherwise, they will be “automatically” redeemed for the rewards in the pass at the end of the season – in chronological order. Then it can happen that stars are spent on rewards from the first pages, although you actually saved for the later pages.

Additionally, you should spend your chips for the Omni sword. Otherwise, they will just expire.

Last but not least: Level up as much as you can – in case you want to grab some of the rewards from the battle pass.

LoL: The big update is live and changes everything – The 20 biggest winners and 25 biggest losers of 12.10

On League of Legends , the patch 12.10 went live on Wednesday: the so-called “Durability” update. Fights in LoL are now supposed to last longer: The champs have received more health points, can withstand more, but healing has also been reduced. After one day, there is a list of the champs and how their win rates have changed: 20 champs are the clear winners of the update, 25 the clear losers. MeinMMO looks at the results.

What kind of update is this? For months, LoL has been showcasing a major update, patch 12.10.

Essentially, the aim was to address a problem that Twitch streamer Doublelift once described as “health points ping-pong”:

  • Heroes fell from 100% to 0% health points incredibly quickly. They died without knowing what exactly caused it or what they did wrong.
  • On the other hand, heroes with low health points quickly returned to 100% because healing was too strong, especially through lifesteal.

LoL brings huge balance changes with the next update – Nerfs over 30 items
von Alexander Leitsch

The update 12.10 now had the goal:

  • To increase health points and resistances against physical and magical damage across the board
  • To reduce the damage of “tanky characters”: Heroes that can take a lot should not simultaneously be able to do a lot. Those who want to kill opponents in seconds in League of Legends must be willing to fall quickly themselves.
  • To reduce “healing” a bit, because otherwise, some champions like DrMundo would simply not be able to be killed with the reduced damage in the game

Ice Bird Anivia and Fire Fuzzy Brand are winners of 12.10

What is this ranking now? After the first day with the new patch, a user on reddit evaluated the game data. He created a list of champs whose win rate changed by 2% – he considers the “Platinum+” range. The numbers are based on the statistics page u.gg – and are a snapshot (via u.gg).

Riot already responds with buffs and nerfs

This is how Riot is already responding: Riot had previously announced before 12.10 that they would quickly respond to emerging balance issues after the patch. And indeed, there is already a response:

  • 6 heroes are now being boosted: Renekton, Yuumi, Kled, Vladimir, Diana, and Draven. 5 of these heroes had fallen in win rate. Only Draven is an outlier on this list.
  • 6 champions are being nerfed: Kayle, Anivia, Taliyah, Brand, Vayne, and Senna. Here too, 5 champs are clearly considered winners of the patch and have become significantly stronger. Only Vayne is not listed among the winners.

The poor supporter Taric, who according to the statistics is currently performing really poorly (43.59% win rate), is still waiting for special treatment. Even worse than Taric is currently the mage, Ryze – he is in a really bad spot.

It is evident that the balance in LoL is in constant flux and today’s winners can already be tomorrow’s losers.

For one hero in LoL, however, no balance changes helped:

No one wanted to play the least popular champ in the history of LoL, even if he won every match

The official release of Diablo Immortal is on Thursday, June 2nd. The servers here will go online at 7:00 PM German time, and you can play.

The game will be available for Android, iOS, and PC, with Diablo Immortal already possibly visible in the Play Store and the App Store beforehand. However, it will only be playable on June 2nd. If you want to prepare, you can preload the game now, at least on PC.

Can I preload the game? Yes, you can download Diablo Immortal now through the Battle.net launcher. The size is about 24 GB, and you will need an account at Battle.net for this.

Navigate to the “All Games” menu to Diablo Immortal, select the game, and click the “Install PC Beta” button. The download will then start, and you can download all the necessary data.

On Android, you only need 2.4 GB of free storage with 10 GB for the patch, and on iOS, 3.3 GB of free storage with 9.5 GB for the patch. Downloads will start on June 2nd. To play, you need a Battle.net account, which will also activate cross-save.

Everything you need to know about Diablo Immortal – Release, Costs, Gameplay

The release of Diablo Immortal is approaching, and many fans are asking: Is there going to be a beta? How much will the game cost? And what does the gameplay look like? MeinMMO answers the most important questions for you.

[toc]

With Diablo Immortal, the popular action RPG series officially arrives for mobile devices with iOS and Android for the first time. Moreover, the game will become a real MMO and aims to entice players with a ton of new features.

To make sure you know exactly what to expect and when you can finally get your hands on the new Diablo, we have gathered all the important info about Diablo Immortal here for you.

On May 26, Blizzard published new information about the release. We have updated this article with all current information and added the system requirements for all platforms.

Diablo Immortal: FAQ – The most important information at a glance

When is the release of Diablo Immortal?

On June 2, Diablo Immortal will officially launch for iOS and Android. The PC version will then enter beta. The servers will go live at 7:00 PM German time.

Will there be a beta?

There will be closed tests before the release, but no open beta.

What costs are involved?

Diablo Immortal is completely free-to-play but will have a shop. The developers have talked shortly before release about microtransactions.

Is Diablo Immortal coming to iOS or Android?

Immortal will be playable on both iOS and Android devices.

Is Diablo Immortal coming to PC?

Yes, but it will launch with a beta client and with the idea of ‘mobile first’.

Despite many MMO elements remains Diablo Immortal at heart an action RPG. You will have access to the six well-known classes from Diablo 3 at launch. There are already plenty of gameplay videos from previous tests.

The release date of Diablo Immortal

When does Diablo Immortal come out? On June 2, Diablo Immortal will be released for iOS, Android, and PC. Mobile users will already be able to play the launch version, while the PC client will still be in open beta.

Since the progress will not be reset for the PC release (there will be no “wipe”) and the game does not need to be purchased, we consider this a soft launch. Such things happen frequently with free-to-play titles.

In our special, we will tell you 5 things you need to know about Diablo Immortal before release.

Will there be an open beta and how do I participate?

Current status: The last beta ran from November 2021 and ended in January 2022 with a stream that revealed what happens next. However, there was no really new information provided there.

An additional test is unlikely to occur before the release, at least not during an open beta. You can already pre-register now:

You can already pre-download Diablo Immortal on your PC via the Battle.net app. Just select the game from the list of all games and choose the option “install PC beta.”

The system requirements for Diablo Immortal

It is now known what level your system needs to meet on each platform:

PC

  • Operating system: Windows 7/8/10/11 (recommended: 10 or 11)
  • CPU: AMD FX-8100 or Intel Core i3 (recommended: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5)
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460, ATI Radeon HD 6850, or Intel HD Graphics 530 (recommended: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 or AMD Radeon RX 470)
  • RAM: 4 GB (recommended: 8 GB)
  • Disk space: 24 GB

Android

  • Operating system: Android OS 5.0
  • Processor: Snapdragon 660 / Exynos 9611
  • Graphics processor: Adreno 512 / Mali-G72 MP3
  • Memory: 2 GB RAM
  • Disk space: 2.4 GB + 10 GB for patch

iOS

  • Operating system: iOS 11
  • Device: iPhone 6s
  • Disk space: 3.3 GB + 9.5 GB for patch

Price and costs of Diablo Immortal

What will the game cost me? You can play Diablo Immortal completely for free. The MMO will be free-to-play but, according to current information, will have a shop. You can buy various items with real money there.

In the last tests, some of these items were not purely cosmetic but provided certain advantages. For example, there are items that allow you to improve your loot from certain content.

There are currently big discussions in the community about possible pay-to-win mechanics. Reports suggest that it might take about 40 years to get the best items. However, it remains to be seen whether this holds true for the release version. Final prices and shop contents are still unknown.

Do I have to pay? According to community beta testers, you do not need the “best gear” to compete effectively. While there are PvP and tougher PvE content like raids, regular finds of items that do not require extra payment are sufficient.

A certain grind is necessary, but that is generally part of Diablo. Paying players can only reach the last few percentages of improvement faster. However, this is said to be only a deciding factor for very few players.

Furthermore, Diablo Immortal offers a battle pass, which, according to the latest information, includes both a free and a paid path. Here, you can earn certain content without paying for it.

Gameplay and content of Diablo Immortal

How does Diablo Immortal play? Diablo Immortal follows the tradition of the series and throws you into an action RPG or MMO with an isometric perspective (“viewed from above”). You control your character either using the touch screen of your device, with a controller, or on PC with a mouse and keyboard.

You currently have 6 known classes to choose from, which also existed in Diablo 3, as well as a possible additional class:

Our tier list for Diablo Immortal – the best classes at a glance

Unlike normally in Diablo and generally MMOs, you do not need alternative characters or “twinks.” You will simply be able to switch your class. According to recent information, this will happen “between each week and each month,” so not randomly or daily. The exact limit is still being determined.

The story of Diablo Immortal: Cycle of Strife, PvP, and PvE

What is the Cycle of Strife? The biggest feature of Diablo Immortal is the Cycle of Strife. Here, 2 factions battle against each other: the ruling Immortals and the attacking Shadows. The respective clans (guilds) fight for control in huge PvP battles.

Every week, the best Shadow clans can attack the ruling Immortals. In teams, they compete against each other. If they win enough rounds, they can challenge the leader of the Immortals. In a 30vs1 battle, they will then be a real raid boss with special abilities.

If the Shadows win here as well, it will be decided through a battle royale who the next ruler will be. Participants receive a special buff that showcases their skills. Immortals also gain access to special dungeons and raids.

More on the topic
Only a few of you will see the best mode of Diablo Immortal
von Benedict Grothaus

The Cycle of Strife itself is the actual story of Diablo Immortal. The Immortals were put in place to protect Sanctuary. The Shadows are meant to constantly test them so they do not become overconfident. The whole story takes place temporally between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3.

As the developers already revealed to us in an exclusive interview before the release, the Cycle of Strife is set to be fundamentally revised. The focus will then be more on guilds. However, we cannot say with certainty how this will look at release.

What other content is there? Diablo Immortal relies on MMO content with all its features. Accordingly, there’s a ton of content for groups. However, familiar content from earlier Diablo installments remains:

  • There is a campaign that is said to take about 10 hours if played continuously
  • Rifts and bounties will accompany you during leveling
  • Paragon levels are also returning
  • Dungeons are designed for 4 players
  • Raids are available for 8 players and with various difficulty levels
  • Immortals can participate in raids for up to 48 players
  • PvP is purely a group matter and intended for clans – but is also optional

Items can drop everywhere, as is customary in Diablo. Some activities inherently have higher chances of good loot, but you should not be forced into PvE or PvP to obtain everything.

Many systems like set pieces, paragon levels, and especially social components will continue to be refined until the release and beyond. MeinMMO held a world-exclusive interview with the developers. There, Wyatt Cheng and Joe Grubb revealed what is in store for Immortal:

The developers of Diablo Immortal say: “Diablo Immortal is a large and ambitious MMO”

ESO: Oh, the new chapter High Isle is coming soon – You need to know this

It’s almost time: The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is releasing the chapter High Isle on June 6 as the most important content patch for 2022. We will provide you with a brief overview of what you need to know about the release and when you can play it.

When can you download ESO High Isle? The major chapter is scheduled for Monday, June 6. You can purchase the chapter beforehand, but the patch can really only be downloaded at the release date. So, you will have to be a little patient.

If you want to play the new content on Xbox or PlayStation, you will have to wait until June 21. However, the date for the PC and Mac platforms is June 6.

From what time can you play? As usual, maintenance is scheduled from 8 AM to 2 PM. After that, you can start the download. How quickly you can start with the new chapter will depend on how fast you have downloaded the patch.

To not be completely on edge, you can comfortably check the ESO Server Status through your browser.

How do I get ESO High Isle? This question has several answers. Depending on what you want, there are 4 different versions of the new chapter. But before you get overwhelmed, let us briefly explain how to do it right.

Do you already own the base game? If so, make sure to purchase the upgrade and not the collector’s edition. Here you also have the choice between the standard or the collector’s edition. If you enjoy a bit of flair, the collector’s edition might be the right choice for you.

New PvP content makes way for a card game

For the first time with High Isle, the developers of The Elder Scrolls Online are releasing a game within a game. This is the Tales of Glory, a card game, which is supposed to be completely independent from the rest of the MMORPG. However, there will be no new content for PvP in ESO.

Here’s a quick reminder of what ESO High Isle has to offer:

  • new area
  • Volcanic vents as world events (similar to the anchors in the base game)
  • new story revolving around intrigue (approx. 30 hours of gameplay)
  • new feature: collectible card game “Tales of Glory”
  • new trial Dread Cell Reef (12 players)
  • expansion of the Blackwood feature: 2 new companions

ESO: Everything about the new expansion High Isle and the contents of 2022
von Alexander Leitsch

With the previous chapter Blackwood, companions were created who can also intervene in combat and support the individual player in their adventures. This will continue in the upcoming chapter. Companion fans can have a Khajiit or a Breton accompany them in the new chapter.

The upcoming chapter deviates from the habits of previous years. This is both in a positive and negative sense, as the community voices suggest. The planning for 2022 has caused several controversies.

What are the origins of the controversies in ESO? Both announcements of changes and new features have been received very differently. If you haven’t heard anything about this yet, then this is the perfect engagement until the chapter release.

Our interview with Game Director Rich Lambert gives you a brief but comprehensive insight into why, for example, the release of another class is not as straightforward as it seems.

Frustrated PvP players criticize Destiny 2 – A new map after 1,000 days is “sad and pathetic”

In the newly started Season 17 of Destiny 2, there is still discontent among PvP players. A new map after 1,000 days is “sad and pathetic” and just a drop in the bucket. Now, as Bungie’s Community Manager officially resets the “X days without a PvP map” counter on Twitter, all the frustration is released.

With the new “Season of the Haunted,” Bungie has finally introduced a new PvP map into the game after 1,000 days of waiting.

Although some players, after the story events surrounding Lord Saladin in Season 16, had hoped for a complete PvP season centered around the Iron Lords, this announced new map is at least better than nothing. It at least dampens some of the discontent about the developer’s lack of attention to its PvP.

This is what’s happening in PvP: When the Community Manager of Bungie posted a tweet on Twitter with a funny GIF showing a character saying: “Turn back the clock!”, the emotions of the PvP players boiled over.

This was a reference to the community countdown, which meticulously counted every day in which Destiny 2 did not receive a new PvP map. Similar to the “Accident Counter” on the Tower.

The Crucible is dear to many players in Destiny 2, and this tweet from Community Manager Dylan Gafner (dmg04) felt like pure mockery, even if it was obviously not meant that way, as he himself clarified.

This is what the new PvP map “Separation” looks like.

Some players considered the statement toxic and accused Bungie of inviting its players to toxicity. However, this incident also clearly shows, how much frustration currently exists among players regarding PvP and how little the new content could calm them down.

Player Althanash sees it this way and tweets in response:

Unintentionally or otherwise. It’s like pouring gasoline on an already raging fire.

Destiny 2 player Althanash via Twitter

The PvP community has simply been waiting a long time, mostly patiently, for Bungie to pay more attention to the Crucible again.

A new mode is supposed to save PvP in Destiny 2 – Is that enough?
von Christos Tsogos

They accepted the developer’s explanations that new Crucible content is not so easy to realize. For example, even an old PvP map for Destiny 2 must be “rebuilt” from scratch to work with the various engine updates that have been made since the release of Witch Queen.

How is the new map being received? Additionally, many players do not find the new map particularly successful. It is set in Savathun’s Throne World, is symmetrically designed, and has a base at each corner. You can also utilize many side paths and large open spaces in the back area.

But that’s also a problem. The map is simply enormous, and as a result, players do not get a true competitive feel. You fight more like a guerrilla fighter through Savathun’s Throne World and farm head glitches. It is apparent that it is rather designed for the upcoming “Rift” mode.

Additionally, some resourceful players have already uncovered exploits in the map.

Where can you play on the new map? If you want to explore the new map, you have to go into the Crucible. “Separation” has been integrated into the random map rotation of the Crucible, so you can encounter the map in all 6v6 and 3v3 matches.

In the Iron Banner, the map will also be used for the PvP mode “Rift” carried over from Destiny 1, which will start with the first Iron Banner event on May 31.

What do you think about the tweet from Bungie’s Community Manager? Do you see his statement as critical? And how do you feel about the new map? Have you already checked out “Separation” yourself? Then feel free to share your experiences in the comments.

Diablo Immortal chiefs talk about what everyone is eager to know: the shop in the MMO

Diablo Immortal is coming soon for Android, iOS, and PC. Just before the release, several journalists were able to speak with the developers. Some of the key topics: microtransactions and the shop. Because there was quite a bit of criticism.

Update: There is now new information about the release of Diablo Immortal. Blizzard released a new roadmap on May 26, but without further information about the shop.

What is being discussed?

  • Diablo Immortal could be played in several alpha and beta tests even before the release. Players were quite positively surprised, after many were critical of the mobile game.
  • Diablo Immortal will be Free2Play with an in-game shop. There have been larger discussions in the community about this. Some claimed that if you don’t pay, you would have to grind for the best gear for 40 years. There were items for purchase that could speed this up.
  • Influencers also jumped in and partly explained, “how crazy Pay2Win” Immortal will be. The developers responded to the criticism and promised to make changes to the shop.

von Benedict Grothaus

This is what the heads say: Joe Grubb is the Principal Game Designer of Diablo Immortal and has already spoken with us earlier about the changes since the beta. In an interview with the gaming website PCGamesN, the topic of the shop also came up.

Grubb promises there that microtransactions “will never circumvent the gameplay.” He says:

Optional purchases will always be a bonus […] One of our pillars is: “The best way to get more powerful in Diablo Immortal is to play the game.”

MeinMMO also had the opportunity to speak with heads and developers. We met with Wyatt Cheng (Game Director) and Peiwen Yao (Executive Producer). Cheng promised us something similar.

“We will never sell equipment”

How does the shop work now? In the interview, we briefly touched on the topic of microtransactions. However, Cheng promised us: in Diablo Immortal, there will never be equipment available for real money that makes you better.

If you want to get better, you have to be good. To be able to play the classes well, you need skill, and progress is made by playing – not by spending money. Cheng and Grubb agree on this. However, what exactly will be in the shop and what all this will cost, we will only find out at the release.

In our interview, the focus was mainly on the gameplay of Diablo Immortal and the future. If you are interested in how it will continue with the MMO after the release, check back on MeinMMO. The full interview will be published soon. A small teaser: we talked quite extensively about the battle pass and future content updates.

When can I play Diablo Immortal? On June 2, Diablo Immortal will be released for mobile devices and PC, albeit with a disadvantage there. You can then get your own impression of the free-to-play game and the shop, which is currently under criticism.

The developers already revealed to us that Diablo Immortal will continue to be developed as a living service game. So if there are still problems with the shop at release, it is not excluded that this will change again.

If you are itching to play, there are already some alternatives to Diablo Immortal to bridge the wait:

Speedrunner kills every main boss in Elden Ring with one hit – Turns himself into a glass cannon

The famous speedrunner BushyGames has defeated every main boss in FromSoftware’s action RPG Elden Ring with a single hit and uploaded a video of the run on YouTube. Some of the tough battles were fought voluntarily as a glass cannon with extremely low health.

What was the challenge: BushyGames played Elden Ring with the challenge of having to defeat every main boss with a single hit. For the speedrunner, only bosses necessary to finish the game counted as main bosses.

If a boss is not defeat-able with a single hit due to having multiple phases, the respective phase had to be finished with one hit.

BushyGames also imposed the rule on himself not to use the extremely strong spell Comet Azur, unless it was unavoidable for the success of the run. Other techniques and items like buff spells were allowed for the speedrunner.

If you want to see the nearly 50-minute video of the 1-hit run by speedrunner BushyGames on YouTube, we will embed it here:

Why is he a glass cannon? BushyGames used numerous buff spells in his 1-hit run and also the war ash Seppuku. With this, the user inflicts damage on themselves but gains some strong buffs in return.

By using some buff spells that inflicted self-damage, BushyGames sometimes fought battles with only 10% health or less. The speedrunner became a glass cannon because he sacrificed health for increased damage.

If you want to test the war ash Seppuku as well, MeinMMO author Marko Jevtic has a strong build ready that will make the blood flow:

Problems with Radagon and the Elden Beast

How did he complete the run? BushyGames started his 1-hit run with intense farming, leveling, and collecting runes and items.

The first boss fight was against the death bird in Liurnia, which he defeated with a single hit on his third attempt. In the first attempt, the speedrunner inflicted about 50% damage.

In the second attempt, the death bird barely survived. Between the failed attempts, BushyGames farmed again and leveled up his weapon. In the third and ultimately final attempt, the total playtime of the run was already over three hours.

For the complete run, including collecting items, leveling the hammer, and testing his build, BushyGames needed over 25 hours. The speedrunner particularly struggled with Radagon and the Elden Beast. For the Elden Beast, he even had to break his own rule and use Comet Azur.

What items and weapons did he use? BushyGames specifically collected some items in his run that helped him with the challenge. As a weapon, the speedrunner used the gigantic hammer Giant-Crusher, with which he literally flattened numerous boss opponents with a single hit.
