With Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt, a new battle royale with a vampire flair was released just a few weeks ago. The developers have now announced that the ranked mode will disappear for now. Players on PS5 simply have no chance.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt is a free-to-play battle royale that celebrates its full release on April 27 – on PC and PS5.
With a mix of vampiric abilities, some guns, and heavy melee weapons, you will shake up the night in Prague and fight against other bloodsuckers for the throne of the last survivor.
Until recently, the game also offered a ranked mode. However, the developers explained that players would have to do without the mode for the time being. This is in consideration of players using a controller.
We’ll embed the release trailer of Bloodhunt here:

The developers want to improve aim assist
On Twitter, the developers explained:

“After careful consideration, we have decided to temporarily pause the ranked mode until the new update is available. We hope that the new balance changes and gamepad improvements will increase the popularity of the mode and make matchmaking usable again.”
In the preliminary patch notes, the developers continue: The aim assist for controllers is too weak, and the game is too difficult on the PS5 as a result. In the blog post, the developers explain in detail what is wrong with the assist and how they plan to fix it (via bloodhunt.com).
What is a ranked mode? These are modes in competitive games that feature very strict, skill-based matchmaking. Only players with similar skill levels end up in the same lobbies.
There are often additional rules – for example, in CoD Vanguard, some weapons and equipment are banned. In the MOBA League of Legends, there is a special champion selection before ranked rounds where you can ban characters from the opponents.
What do players say about it? The developers’ decision is understandable after looking at the comments under the tweet.
Quickly, disappointed controller players express how much they find the game, but that they have no chance against players with mouse & keyboard:
@mikebellanova: “Playing the game on PS5 is so painful, man. Starting a game without active crossplay is also impossible. I have learned not to take the game seriously and now laugh when I’m the last controller player against 3 PC players with precision weapons and katana, lol.”
@huntergsmith95: “Remove crossplay entirely. PS5 players are leaving the game due to the unbelievable advantages of PC players with mouse and keyboard.”
@MwOctober1983: “Good to see that you are trying. But it might already be too late for the console. Without crossplay, the matchmaking times are longer than ever before and everyone I started with is no longer playing Bloodhunt.”
Many comments express a certain disappointment. Bloodhunt is a solid battle royale and has a lot of potential for them. But if as a controller player you are just getting destroyed and cannot find a match without crossplay, it doesn’t matter how good the game is. It’s no fun.
However, a stronger aim assist could lead to other balancing issues. Working with the mechanics has become a tightrope walk due to the crossplay trend.
Since gaming has existed, there have always been people who do not want to pay for games. Developers have always struggled against pirates and crackers, sometimes with simple copy protection, but also with very creative solutions. Thus, the head of Cricket 22 has decided to troll the pirates.
This is how the CEO trolls the pirates: Normally, copy protection serves to keep pirates out and deny them a game. However, Cricket 22 does it differently: here, they let the pirates in and then troll them with apparent “bugs”.
These lead to digital pirates seeing a white screen between matches. Symons dismissed complaints about this “bug” by advising people to simply buy his game. Then it would go away.
Ross Symons, the CEO of the company behind Cricket 22, promises on Twitter even more surprises for pirates that will be coming in the next few weeks. Among them:
100% loss on a coin toss
automatic disconnection from the controller with a message that the battery is empty
endless rain
Heavy rain leads to canceled games in cricket, and that is exactly what is supposed to happen in Cricket 22. As soon as the players are up, heavy rain starts, which continues until the game is over.
He has a whole range of things he could do to the pirates. The mere fact that some players complain about the “bugs” makes them out themselves as pirates. The CEO says that pursuing this path is also the right decision for him.
Are you not familiar with the term “software pirate”? Then you might need some tuition with 14 terms that every gamer should know:

Do you not understand your gamer friends? Here are 14 terms you should know
300% increase in sales since the protection is active
Is it worth it for the developer? According to Symmons, sales on Steam have increased by 300% since he activated the protection. His philosophy: excluding pirates from the start is a lost sale.
However, letting them play and then encouraging them to buy can convince them. He even offers people to keep their progress if they switch from a pirated to a legal version.
This is what players are saying: On Twitter, there is considerable backlash. Many people are complaining that the developers should give them access to the game. They might not have money, and pirated copies are their only way to play.
Others support the approach. Creative solutions are better than plain bans, and a few laughs at the expense of the pirates provide entertainment.
Cricket 22 is a small sports game on Steam.
On Steam, the game is doing well. With 72% positive reviews overall and even 95% recently, the game is mostly very positive (via Steam). Cricket 22 has an average of 150 players (via steamcharts.com), not a huge number of fans on Steam, but at least it has a player base.
Creative copy protection – always a part of gaming
Cricket 22 is not the first game with a creative protection against piracy. There have been ideas in the past like wheels that you had to decode to even install the corresponding game. But this was quickly bypassed as well.
Some developers therefore relied on more clever solutions. Among the most curious are:
Alan Wake: The protagonist wears an eye patch with Jolly Roger in a pirated version
The Witcher 2: In all sex scenes, Triss and Co. are replaced by old grandmothers
Serious Sam 3: An invincible giant scorpion spawns after a while and chases you through every level
Particularly nasty is the game Earthbound by Nintendo. Here, pirates can seemingly play normally, there are just harder random encounters. However, when defeating the final boss, the game simply crashes and deletes the save file.
By the way, it is not just developers who troll pirates. There are also some clever “cheat” developers who ensure that nasty cheaters are punished in an extremely satisfying way:

In League of Legends there are currently 159 champions. Some are very popular, while others are hardly played. A developer from LoL now explains which character was the least popular in the history of the MOBA: The old version of Urgot was so unpopular that Riot had to completely rework the character in 2017.
What are the least popular characters now? Characters are typically considered extremely unpopular when they have a pick rate of less than 0.5%. According to an article by MGG, the currently least popular characters are:
Skarner with 0.41% – a scorpion that can drag opponents but is considered relatively slow
No one wanted to play Urgot, even though he was incredibly strong
What was the problem with Urgot? In his personal Twitch stream, August “Riot August” Browning, the Lead Champion Designer of LoL, talked about the least popular champ in the 13-year history of the MOBA.
He says the old version of Urgot (2010-2017) had such a bizarre combination of skills that he didn’t feel like a part of League of Legends at all. He was a mix between a marksman and an attrition mage that simply didn’t work.
Even the parts of his abilities that were fun, like his ultimate, didn’t fit him at all, says Riot August.
Ultimately, Urgot was so trapped between roles that he didn’t work properly in any position unless the meta favored him.
But it didn’t really matter whether he worked in the meta or not: Urgot just wasn’t fun for players. Some could even dominate SoloQ with him but couldn’t maintain it or establish a trend:
If you see Jinx in the pro league, you want to play Jinx. If Akali has a 52% win rate, you can bet that everyone will jump on the bandwagon. There are certain champions that everyone plays when they look good. Look at Kai’Sa, everyone is currently looking for a reason to play Kai’Sa.
But there are also champions like Aurelion Sol, who hardly anyone plays, even though he is greatly showcased by the pros.
In a similar position was Urgot back then: He could literally win every game, but no one played him because he didn’t fit into LoL. His skills contradicted each other, and his vaguely defined role made him unattractive to many players.

The new Urgot stays on opponents and takes them out.
What did Riot do? In July 2017, Riot completely overhauled Urgot. All his abilities were fundamentally changed:
The “old Urgot” was a low-range marksman who had the ability to gain higher range when he hit with his E ability. He relied on reducing his opponents’ damage and making them more vulnerable to damage.
The “new Urgot” is a kind of walking death machine whose idea is to stay on an opponent, wear them down with increasing damage, slow them, and ultimately take them out.
How is Urgot now? After 2017 and a thorough overhaul of his abilities, Urgot is still a strange fantasy of a mechanical spider with traces of human-like qualities, but he works: He appears in about 2.8% of all games now.
Well, let’s see how we talk about Bel’Veth, the new heroine in LoL, in a few years:
In V Rising, you play as a vampire – a motif that is rarely explored in video games. The new indie game, however, exploits some folklore prejudices instead of portraying vampires as purely bloodthirsty beasts. This results in some interesting mechanics and one of the best features one could wish for in a survival game – notes MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus.
If you want to quickly and easily empty your bags and fill your chests in V Rising, there’s a simple button for that. In your inventory, you have the function “compulsively count.”
With a click, you can sort all items in your inventory into the opened chest, as long as at least one unit of that item is already in the chest. So if you’re coming back from the hunt for cotton for threads, just a push of a button and your inventory is empty again.
Sorting chests is often a big hassle in many survival games. Especially in clans and groups with multiple players, there’s always that one chaotic player who simply dumps their inventory in the next chest, ruining any order.
A click on “compulsively count” is enough to place all items in the chest of which at least one is present – and ONLY those!
V Rising provides a very simple feature to alleviate this, which is so clever that every survival game should have it. But it makes sense particularly in V Rising, as vampires, according to folklore, actually have an obsession that explains all of this.
Vampire prejudices lead to innovative features
What does this have to do with an obsession? According to folklore, vampires suffer from an obsession known as arithmomania. This compels vampires to obsessively count everything that can be counted.
According to legends, it even goes so far that one can kill vampires with a bowl of sunflower seeds or rice. If you pour the bowl in front of them, they must count every single grain – even if the sun rises and they burn.
This obsession also explains why Count von Count from Sesame Street is a vampire. With this prejudice, Bram Stoker addressed in popular literature how a vampire truly is, as a vampire expert explains in an interview with Tagesspiegel.
During my literature studies, I also dealt with folklore and legends. While vampires weren’t one of my core themes, I often wandered into that corner of the library.
Vampires are an exciting subject, which is why I also acquired the legends and myths about bloodsuckers in my spare time. Many of the facts listed here come from my own knowledge. However, keep in mind that these are always folk tales and traditions, which can change and vary greatly over time. More information about vampire myths can also be found on the website of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh.

V Rising also plays with further prejudices surrounding the undead. Of course, vampires are primarily known as bloodsuckers, and therefore everything revolves around blood. There are about 6 different blood types that strengthen you in different ways.
Moreover, vampires are depicted as classic villains who like to keep humans like cattle – even though some less sadistic players may try to oppose this. However, there are even more mechanics in the game surrounding the entire mythology of vampires:
to rest, you traditionally sleep in a coffin
garlic weakens you, which is why many people hang garlic at their doors
silver burns you, which can be deadly if you carelessly pick it up – and of course, people only pay with silver coins out of caution
if you stay in the sun too long, you burn. Therefore, you should only conduct major raids at night or hope for plenty of shade
holy symbols – often simply represented by Christian crosses in folklore – stop you and consecrated ground can kill you quickly
vampires can supposedly transform, so we also have different forms available in V Rising, such as wolf, bear, or rat
In folklore, there is also the belief that vampires must untie every knot they come across. While we do not see this in V Rising, the yarn balls and spools are all remarkably neatly rolled …
Furthermore, vampires supposedly have no reflection. However, we can build mirrors to adjust our appearance. Also, they can usually only enter houses if invited – and considering how often we go raiding, one wonders how much truth there is to this.
The YouTuber Marc “Thats.Me.” Eggers interviewed various Twitch streamers, YouTubers, and Instagram stars during a Red Bull event. They revealed how much and what they spend their money on.
What did the influencers say? When Eggers asked the internet stars what they spend their money on and how much, they were very open.
Most talked about personal expenses, such as the frequently mentioned rent. YouTuber and Twitch streamer Mr_Reeze stated that rent takes up most of his expenses of 2,500-3,000 Euros. Streamer starletnova also mentioned that she spends 2,000, with 1,600 Euros alone going towards her apartment.
The well-known YouTuber Sarazar, who used to be the counterpart to the biggest gaming YouTuber Gronkh, also mentioned rent but emphasized that food costs him a lot: it should be around 1,000 Euros monthly. Additionally, his private insurance takes a hefty amount – his total expenses amount to 4,000-5,000 Euros a month.
For streamers, Twitch Prime is definitely a significant source of income. Check out everything about it in our video:

Prime Gaming, the secret behind Twitch’s success
But it gets even higher: TikToker sophodoph apparently spends a significantly higher amount, estimating between 8,000-10,000 Euros. Travel is said to be the main reason for the influencer’s high costs.
TikToker theocarow and YouTuber Marius Angeschrien stayed more in the business realm. theocarow spends around 14,000 Euros, with 7,500 Euros solely going to his cameraman. Marius Angeschrien estimates about 10,000 to 15,000 Euros monthly for videos and production.
The standout was the visibly intoxicated Ron Bielecki, who claimed to spend 100,000 Euros a month – mostly on alcohol.
However, several more YouTubers, Twitch streamers, and TikTokers were surveyed.
All influencers, expenses, and statements summarized:
All links in the names lead to the influencers’ social media channels.
YouTubers and Twitch streamers previously revealed their account balances
Previously, Marc Eggers interviewed famous internet stars while he was at the boxing event “The Great Fight Night”. In the interviews, Knossi, MontanaBlack, Julien Bam, and many others stated how their account balance looks.
While some had around 30,000 Euros, one was even 1.2 million Euros in the negative due to real estate investments.
Many players do not delve as deeply into the gear mechanics of Elden Ring as Elon Musk’s example shows. The fun counts and the desire to experience something extraordinary.
Elon Musk has long been known as a fan of Elden Ring and often tweets about the action game. Now he showed his build with a screenshot, and his equipment doesn’t look good.
The tech billionaire Elon Musk is considered the richest man in the world (via forbes.com). With the sale of the payment service PayPal, Musk made a lot of money and subsequently founded or acquired many companies with some visionary ideas.
These include the electric car manufacturer Tesla, the rocket company SpaceX, or the tunnel boring/Hyperloop company with the clever name The Boring Company.
Musk’s stakes in the companies are worth billions, and the entrepreneur seems to be constantly moving forward in search of the next innovation.
Many players who delve deeper into Elden Ring are almost confused about how Elon Musk plays Elden Ring. On Twitter, for example, @Zoey_Cakes says: “What the hell kind of build is that? I thought the guy was a genius?”
What is already laughed at on Twitter often ends up being ridiculed on reddit. There, Elon Musk’s build should not be missing:

After nearly 4 hours, the thread on reddit already has over 600 comments and continues to grow. Many confused but amused users can be found there, criticizing the tech billionaire’s build.
We have collected a few comments for you:
ParadigmEnigma99: “The entire equipment is just funky. I could forgive that with the armor and the stuff because of Fashion Souls. But the rest looks like something my 10-year-old cousin would use.”
Bazzle-zazzle: “The two shields frustrate me the most.”
ihaverocketlegs: “Oh man. It looks like he is trying to recreate 4 different “MOST OP BUILDS” from YouTube at the same time.”
BigSilky71: “I thought the guy worked 25 hours a day and slept on the factory floor. How does he find the time to play Elden Ring with such a build?”
The discussions in the thread are diverse and lively. Many players exchange their own build approaches, explain why the build isn’t so strong, and some are grateful for the tips.
As so often, Elon Musk manages to inspire others and amaze with his actions – even if this time in a very different way than usual.
Why is the build so bad? As the comments on reddit suggest, almost nothing makes sense in the build. Here are a few of the most obvious oddities:
He is so heavily equipped that he suffers from so-called “Fat Rolls” – slow dodging movements that should almost always be avoided.
Fat Rolls can be fine if you have enough poise in exchange. However, Elon Musk only has 54, which is extremely low for the heavy load.
He has 2 shields in the left hand, both serving almost identical purposes: 100% physical block, no talent.
His glintstone staff, on the other hand, is not used in the offhand but with 2 similar swords in one slot.
He has 3 (weak) spirit ashes in the quick-select bar, but no HP or mana potions or the horse.
He has gone over the wisdom soft cap but doesn’t use any strong spells.
Despite the heavy weight, he has invested little in strength and endurance, while 60 strength is almost a must in the endgame.
A comment on reddit summarizes the apparently hastily assembled build: “He may level in wisdom, but that’s not a smart build.”
Many players do not delve as deeply into the gear mechanics of Elden Ring as Elon Musk’s example shows. The fun counts and the desire to experience something extraordinary.
World of Warcraft has released the patch notes for patch 9.2.5. And it shakes up the principles: Starting with the new update, you can collaborate with your old enemies from the other faction.
When is the patch coming? The update 9.2.5 will be released on June 01, 2022, in World of Warcraft. That means it’s only a week away – and it brings some exciting changes.
These are the main new features: It was first announced in February, and now it is indeed happening: Players of the Alliance and the Horde will soon be able to form mixed groups to tackle dungeons, raids, and PvP elements together.
For this to work, you must be Battle Tag or Real-ID friends or a member of a cross-faction WoW community.
In the dungeon browser, the leader of organized groups can decide whether mixed groups are allowed.
Guilds and content with random player assignments will remain open only to one faction at a time.
However, some instances are excluded and cannot be played cross-faction:
Trial of the Champion
Trial of the Crusader
Archavon’s Chamber
The Icecrown Citadel
Baradin Hold
The Siege of Boralus
The Battle of Dazar’alor
Doomwalker Citadel (Dungeon on the Isle of Exiled)
In the open world, you will generally remain unfriendly towards each other, but you can communicate in group chats.
What else is in the patch notes for WoW Update 9.2.5
What else does the patch bring? In addition to cross-faction gameplay, the update brings several other features. Among the patch notes is an important change to the “Mausoleum of the First”.
On one hand, two classes receive new quest lines to unlock new rewards
Blood elf characters receive the Transient Emerald Hawkstrider after their quest line. Blood elf paladins receive the thematic ensemble: Devotion of the Blood Knight
Dark Iron Dwarves get the mount Grim Howl and the thematic arsenal: Lava Smith Weapons.
In addition, there is a new arena in PvP, the “Enigmatic Maw”.
What do you think of the changes? Are you excited to play together with your friends from the Horde or the Alliance? Or is that a chasm that should not be crossed? Let us know in the comments!
It has only been six months since a new project was announced: an AAA MMORPG set in the Marvel universe. But already, the superhero dream has been dashed – instead, the money is being funneled into other projects.
What was this project supposed to be? The Marvel MMORPG was being developed by the creators of DC Universe Online, a kind of competing venture.
Project leader Jack Emmet has apparently been trying to launch a Marvel MMORPG since 2006. But just like the “first attempt” – “Marvel Universe Online” – this new MMORPG will also not come to fruition.
After the holding company behind the project, Enad Global 7, announced new projects in November and this Marvel project as well also, the whole project is now already finished.
Marvel resources are to be redirected to other projects – including LOTRO and DCUO
This is why the game is not happening: As EG7 announced in a press release, it was decided to cease the further development of the Marvel project.
According to EG7, several factors played into this decision: They reassessed the risks of development and the extent of the investment, and then decided to shift priorities.
Over the next three years, EG7 had planned to invest around 47 million euros in the Marvel project. This sum will now be redirected to other projects within the group.
Interestingly, this includes not only DC Universe Online but also the Lord of the Rings MMO “Lord of the Rings Online.” It has recently received a comprehensive update and now offers significantly more F2P options compared to before.
Moreover, they want to continue working on their own original IPs.
The money will then go to Gandalf instead of Dr. Strange
What players are saying: The development is already being discussed in the “Games” subreddit.
“The only reason I can think of is that the licensing fees were too high, and they didn’t expect to break even,” guesses user Vichnaiev (via reddit).
“Damn. DCUO was one of my favorite games, and I was looking forward to diving into the Marvel game with old friends,” comments another user (via reddit).
Overall, players are surprised that the game is suddenly disappearing from the scene, especially since it hasn’t even truly launched yet.
When it comes to Marvel, there are now plenty of alternatives, even if the MMO front looks rather bleak. For example, Spider-Man players on PlayStation are always worth keeping an eye on, and Wolverine is also set to receive its own game soon.
However, it also happens that players are fed up with superheroes. This is the case, for instance, with some Fortnite fans who no longer want any Marvel crossovers.

In FIFA 22 the TOTW 36 is now available. Who made it into the Team of the Week this time, you can find out here on MeinMMO.
When will TOTW 36 be released? The new Team of the Week will be available starting Wednesday evening, May 25, 2022, at 7:00 PM in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.
Which players receive TOTS cards? A TOTW card is given to players who have impressed with strong performances in real football during the past week.
These special black cards have improved stats and can also fetch higher prices on the transfer market.
These players are in TOTW 36
The best players in the new TOTW 36: Although numerous top cards are currently being released in FUT with the TOTS event, the new TOTW 36 surprises with a few strong cards, thanks to their strong stats are nearly at TOTS level.
For instance, Son (92), Robertson (91), and Di Maria (90) receive decent inform cards, which should at least be significantly cheaper than the TOTS variants.
The Mid-Season of Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone is live, and the patch notes are known. The changes are extensive, affecting almost every aspect of the battle royale. Raven Software aims to provide more counters, better movement, and more playtime in matches. Highlights and info about update 1.58 can be found on MeinMMO.
Call of Duty: Warzone has survived the attack of the giant monsters and enters the next phase: Mid-Season 3 is live. And there are a lot of changes to the game – in terms of content and balance adjustments.

And again, Warzone brings a mega package with innovations in gameplay and adjustments to many weapons. Since the start of Season 2, the battle royale has been stepping on the gas and maintaining an unusual pace.
Additionally, in Season 3, there was the big event with Godzilla and King Kong.

For technology, you can spend a lot of money, especially as a tech enthusiast. However, Twitch streamer Mizkif recently came across a setup that left him speechless.
Who is it about? Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo was still working as a cameraman for the controversial Twitch streamer Ice Poseidon in 2018. Today, the 27-year-old is one of the biggest streamers on the platform. Mizkif recently made headlines after he rejected a pretty lucrative deal.
The streamer has over 2 million followers on Twitch. He streams in categories such as Just Chatting, but has also recently shown games like Mario Kart or Counter Strike.
In one of his latest streams, Mizkif watched various videos from viewers who conducted small tours of their rooms and showed their PC setups.
A viewer caught Mizkif’s attention with a $500 donation – because he really wanted Mizkif to check out his setup.

Cameras, Monitors, PCs, and Lights – “Why?”
Mizkif engaged with the viewer, who claimed to have the best room of all. He asked on Twitter: “Who has setups better than mine? I’m waiting.”
Mizkif felt challenged. He doubted that any viewer could have a better setup than him. So, he watched the video.
This is what the viewer shows: The video features a kind of production room filled with unusual lighting and a lot of technology. The viewer points out various tech toys, but also really expensive devices that he uses for his streams.
You can see how that looks here in the video:

Among other things, the viewer speaks of four Red-V-Raptor camera production kits, each costing over $30,000. Additionally, there are numerous monitors and a total of four PCs with two 3090 and two 3090Ti graphics cards, which are not exactly cheap either.
Additional cameras from Sony, lighting, and more complete the picture. Among other things, there is also decoration that the viewer particularly highlights: various collectibles in the background, as well as so-called “Nano Leaf” lighting, which is arranged in a detailed manner to illuminate the setting.
Furthermore, the viewer points out a cloud-like ceiling, pandas riding doves, and a moon in the background, which is meant to give a little “Japanese Forest vibe” – along with cherry blossoms and leaves on the wall.
Additionally, the name “SniperPanda” is visible again and again – that’s what the viewer calls himself.
This is how Mizkif reacts: The room of “SniperPanda” definitely caught Mizkif off guard. He repeatedly looks in disbelief at what is being shown to him: “Why the hell do you have leaves and trees in your room?”, he asks. The sheer number of cameras shocks the streamer: “What the hell do you want to do? Do you want to film heads, shoulders, knees, and toes? What is the point?”
The viewer has more cameras than Mizkif’s entire production company, the streamer claims: “I didn’t know cameras could grow. He harvests those cameras,” Mizkif comments on the camera garden. The many monitors also confuse him: “What is the reason? Why do you need a TV on the floor?”
For the streamer, the room seems to have too much of everything somehow:
I would always prefer my setup. Instead of these antennas, soundboard, keyboard. That’s wasting money. I don’t want to be rude. Do your thing. But that looks like so much work. I just find that it’s not necessary. You have more cameras than the entire production of OTK. What’s that good for?
For Mizkif, all this technology is pointless: “That’s probably worth half a million dollars,” the streamer estimates. In his view, it’s not needed: “Is that better? No. But man, you have a lot of tech. If you ever have a garage sale, let me know.
Also, the comments mainly express confusion about why one would need such a large amount of high-end technology at all.
What is the setup good for? Mizkif is still searching in his stream for the viewer, to find out who he actually is. The viewer turns out to be “Neon Sniper Panda” – a streamer who is also active on Twitch.
He also counts more than a million followers on the platform, but his viewer numbers are in a significantly lower range. In his production room, he primarily produces a podcast – among other things, with other streamers, but also with e-girls.
“I always say, other people have streams, we have productions,” he commented on his setup at the start of the video. On Twitter, he also reacted to Mizkif’s criticism:

The MMORPG “Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen” brings hope to all players longing for the old MMORPGs like Everquest, where PvE against gigantic bosses was the focus in group play. In May 2022, MeinMMO takes a look at the state of the PvE MMORPG.
This is the idea of Pantheon: The crowdfunding MMORPG aims to deliberately bring back an “old-fashioned” feeling with some new systems: The “Oldschool MMORPG” is supposed to be far from the dungeons of a modern WoW, where players simply rush through like a horde of crazed goblins while shouting “OGOGOG” and hammering the key for the “I deal as much damage to as many enemies as possible” skill.
The idea for the game originated in 2014, when it was launched with a crowdfunding campaign.
Here are 10 minutes of gameplay from Pantheon, the MMORPG hope for PvE fans

Here are 10 minutes of gameplay from the alpha of Pantheon, the MMORPG hope for PvE fans
Key ideas of Pantheon include:
A climbing system that allows players to explore the world vertically
A perception system that enables players to discover secrets in the world
A high level of difficulty. The developers state: There is no easy mode; you need friends for everything. Dungeons cannot be rushed in 5 minutes with AE damage; everyone must fulfill their role; otherwise, you simply won’t progress.
For years, Pantheon was the baby of Brad McQuaid, a key developer of Everquest, and the mind behind the MMORPG Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. However, McQuaid passed away in 2019. Since then, Pantheon has become quieter.
Pantheon hires 4 new developers, is in the midst of development
Where does the game stand today? In a newsletter from May 2022, the team reports on its progress. Visionary Realms has now onboarded 4 new employees, primarily for animation and graphics. The rest of the team is currently working on the zone Wild’s End.
A “roadmap to Alpha” shows that while the team is making regular progress, there is still a lot of work ahead. Only a few rudimentary steps, such as “NPC Combat Awareness” and “Asset Streaming,” have been completed.
The team is currently working on key systems such as class development, reworking the network system, or crafting systems.
Many other, more supplementary areas such as factions, the perception system, or things like swimming and climbing have not yet been started.

Alpha is supposed to start in 2022 – but that doesn’t seem certain
Is there a schedule for when it can be played? It seems that Pantheon will remain in a “pre-alpha” state for the foreseeable future.
In December 2021, it was announced, that they would spend 2022 preparing the game for an alpha and conducting it within the year – but whether this will actually happen seems questionable.
Crowdfunding MMORPGs like Pantheon are notorious for repeatedly and often drastically shifting their schedules: This has also happened to Pantheon’s “colleagues” like Crowfall, Chronicles of Elyria, Camelot Unchained, or Ashes of Creation.
For Pantheon, it was crucial in May that they have – as promised – hired new developers who are already working on the project.
In any case, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen remains an interesting project for MMORPG fans. However, whether it will really enter alpha in 2022 seems questionable. The moment when it will be “truly playable” is still far off even 8 years after its announcement.
This seems to be the crux of crowdfunding MMORPGs: They go public early with fantastically sounding concepts to raise money and excite fans. But by that time, they only have the ideas on paper and sketches; it takes a good decade or more until they can be admired with keyboard and mouse.
For hardened MMORPG veterans, Pantheon is one of the absolute hopefuls:

After just one week, the new survival game V Rising is celebrating huge success. Tens of thousands of players, a million copies sold. Now the development team is fulfilling a major wish of the fans by introducing a new feature, just via a hotfix.
What is this feature? It’s about offline play. With the new hotfix, you now have the option to play without an internet connection. Among other places, on reddit, there were often requests for an offline mode; it is one of the most requested features.
The excitement was somewhat dampened at release. On the one hand, there were complaints about the game’s time mechanics as well as the online requirement. V Rising could only be played if there was an internet connection.
For players with unstable connections or temporary internet outages, playing was not possible. This was changed with a hotfix on May 25. Now V Rising can also be played offline.
In the video, you will learn everything you need to know about V Rising in 2 minutes:

All info about the new vampire survival MMO ‘V Rising’ on Steam – in 2 minutes
Playing V Rising offline – Here’s how
How do I play offline? To start the offline mode, you unfortunately still need an internet connection first to connect to Steam. Follow these steps:
start Steam
switch Steam to offline mode (Steam → Go Offline …)
disconnect your internet connection
After that, you can start V Rising regularly, but without needing an internet connection. Additionally, you can have a LAN mode this way. If you want to play locally with friends, you can join a shared server with the “-lan” parameter on your server and by checking the “LAN Server” box.
Unlike in a simple private game, you will not be thrown out of the game in offline mode due to fluctuating or lost connections. If you foresee issues with the network, you can simply go offline and continue playing safely.
In solo play, you are also not exposed to nasty players. Many fans find PvP to be too unfair, which is why solo servers or offline games are a good way to get to know V Rising.
What else is in the hotfix? With the patch, the developers also fix some bugs and introduce the option to send server-wide messages. In addition, there are some new admin commands. You can find the full patch notes on Steam.
Even though V Rising has been playable for a week, you don’t need to worry about getting started. Other players may be many hours ahead of you, but in most cases, you won’t have a significant disadvantage:
Are you eager to finally buy a PS5? Today, you might have the opportunity to do so at GameStop after a long time. MeinMMO presents all the important information you need.
Update May 25, 4:23 PM: It seems that this may have been it. However, since there have been no PS5 drops at GameStop for a year, it is still difficult to assess whether a few more allocations or returns might be released. We are, of course, keeping an eye on that for you!
It is still extremely difficult to get a PS5. The last few months have often been marked by longer dry spells regarding PS5 drops and sales actions.
Moreover, some retailers completely exited the online business with the coveted console last year and focused entirely on brick-and-mortar sales. GameStop is one of them.
Thus, the PlayStation 5 could only be purchased from the company as part of local sales events, where a lot of luck was also needed since the allocations were usually very limited.
After over a year, GameStop is selling the PS5 online again
But now the big surprise: On the occasion of the Days of Play, GameStop is actually selling the PS5 online again for the first time in over a year!
Didn’t get a PS5? If you didn’t get a PS5, check our ticker. Here we keep you updated daily and explain how to best get a PS5 and show you drops around the coveted console.

In World of Warcraft, the streamer “Nalipls” has undergone a horror trip. One of her moderators (29) allegedly mutated into a crazy stalker after a meeting at BlizzCon 2019, forging and distributing naked photos of her, as well as harassing her permanently. The behavior became increasingly protective over the years. Blizzard wanted to protect her. Ultimately, the FBI got involved.
Trigger Warning:The post describes a frightening and threatening situation related to harassment and stalking that Twitch streamer Nalipls encountered. This may be unsettling or distressing for some readers.
This is what the streamer says: On January 27, 2022, Twitch streamer “Nalipls” posted on Twitter, describing that she has been harassed and threatened by a former moderator of her Twitch channel for 2 years.
The person had been a member of her community and a moderator of her stream for a long time (via twitlonger).
After a personal meeting at BlizzCon, the moderator becomes a stalker
But trouble began when she first saw him at BlizzCon 2019, where she signed autographs. After this meeting, his behavior became “concerning.” He wanted more and more attention from her, donated more money, and wanted to talk to her privately on Discord.
When she made it clear that she was already in a relationship, he tried to visit her in Canada. Additionally, he began to publish “inappropriate comments” about her photos. Apparently, he used several accounts for this, as the Twitch streamer writes.
Man forges naked photos of the streamer and sends them to everyone
This is how it escalated: The situation apparently escalated when she confronted him about his increasingly bizarre behavior. Now he allegedly threatened to commit suicide – Nali alerted the police.
When the police officers determined that the man was fine, she cut off contact with him and revoked his mod privileges.
“He completely lost it now. He started harassing me and my moderators with numerous fake accounts on Twitter, Twitch, and in WoW […] It was at that point when he started photoshopping my face onto the bodies of naked women and paid others to do the same. He then took these photos and sent them to my friends and followers. At that time, I also had to go to the emergency room due to stress-induced heart problems.”
Nali says that she even had to stop streaming in February 2021. Her heart problems worsened continuously. The harassment became more and more severe.
Under each of her posts, the man packed countless naked images. Every time one of his accounts was banned, he simply created a new one. He must have hundreds of accounts, suspects the Twitch streamer.
Ultimately, Nali even obtained a restraining order against him, but because he lived in the USA and she in Canada, this proved to be difficult and costly. Despite a GoFundMe campaign, Nali had to pay $4,000 out of her own pocket.
Ultimately, Nali’s legal costs became overwhelming and for the procedure, she would also have to provide her address, which she didn’t want to do. Ultimately, the lawyer of the stalker made her an offer of $2,000: If she lifted her restraining order, then the man would also stop harassing her. She signed the out-of-court settlement, which she regrets today – the man simply continued and now had her address because she had to provide it for the restraining order.
Stress brings streamer to the intensive care unit
The stress increasingly affected Nali’s health. She had sleep problems and went into therapy:
“In August 2021, I became very ill with heart problems. I almost died. […] I spent a week in a Canadian intensive care unit. I had to completely withdraw from the situation. I was told that any stress could lead to a recurrence of the problems.”
Nali withdrew from the public eye, from WoW, and from Twitter, focusing on her studies.
As Nali describes, it was primarily her partner, Borngood, who kept her afloat during that time. But now the stalker began to harass him and his family as well – as Nali had gone offline, she was now out of his reach.
When she started back with WoW after her break, the situation escalated to the next level. She says: Now the stalker even started paying people to create “deepfake porn videos” of her.
His messages had also become increasingly threatening. He had already written to her boyfriend Borngood that he should get a “coffin for Nalipls,” it would be an “event at a convention that would make the news.”
Important Notice:If dark thoughts are plaguing you: You are not alone. Please seek help. For example, at the telephone counseling service at 0800/111 0 111 or the online counseling where you can also use a chat. This is free of charge and applies nationwide.
This is how it ended: According to a statement from the California District Attorney’s office, the man was arrested on May 24: He is a 29-year-old former airport police officer. He is accused of stalking a professional online player in a multi-year harassment campaign.
The statement states that FBI agents apprehended the man and he is scheduled to appear in court for the first time in Santa Ana on the same day.
The report recounts the story:
In November 2019, the victim traveled to Anaheim to attend “BlizzCon,” an annual gaming convention focused on various video game franchises, including “World of Warcraft.” The victim met the accused personally at a meet-and-greet with fans at the Anaheim Convention Center.
After the convention, the accused allegedly asked the victim if she wanted to be his “Valentine.” When she replied, she politely told him that she had a boyfriend.
The FBI searched the man’s apartment in March 2022 and found “many photoshop-altered naked images” of the streamer, as well as evidence that he owned email addresses from which the streamer received harassing messages.
According to the district attorney’s office, the man is accused of continuing to stalk the victim despite a restraining order in February 2021 and despite an agreement to stop the harassment.
It is said, however, that these are currently only allegations against the man of having committed a crime. Every accused person is presumed innocent until proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The man is charged with stalking. If convicted, he faces up to 5 years in federal prison, the district attorney’s office reports. The FBI is investigating the matter.
As the US site Polygon reports, WoW developer Blizzard also banned the man multiple times from WoW and even from the Battle.net platform. Blizzard is said to have even hired its own security force to protect the Twitch streamer at events.
Stalkers seem to be becoming an increasingly big problem for influencers:
When Destiny 2 launched into Season 17 yesterday, it literally set the house ablaze. Players were able to try out the new subclass focus Solar 3.0 for the first time, and it really shines across all three classes. MeinMMO joined in and gives you an overview.
For three years, the subclasses Void, Solar, and Arc remained unchanged in Destiny 2. Only with Witch Queen, when Bungie released Void 3.0, did things change.
In Season 17, the “Season of the Haunted”, everything revolves around the ability Solar 3.0, which is supposed to melt your face off, as Kevin Janes, Sandbox Discipline Lead at Bungie, put it. So say goodbye to your eyebrows.
Titans can now literally “burn the world”. They unleash the power of the Sun’s Wrath with the enhanced Hammer. Confronting a Solar 3.0 Titan feels like the end of everything.
The Hunter scores with radiant weapon damage and generates a few improvised Solar bombs with the Light of the Traveler if anything wants to crawl away.
The Warlocks become Archangel-Pyromancers, triggering chain detonations and throwing lava grenades while applying healing patches to their fireteam.
Warlocks are likely flicking one of the deadliest sparks with Solar 3.0.
All new Solar 3.0 aspects at a glance
Hunter
HUNTER ASPECT “Gunpowder Gamble”
Defeat targets with abilities, Solar debuffs, or Solar weapons to charge an improvised Solar explosive. Throw a solar explosive that can be launched to create an ignition.
HUNTER ASPECT “Take Them Down”
Your Solar Supers are enhanced. Golden Gun – Deadshot has increased duration, Golden Gun – Marksman has increased damage resistance and duration, and Blade Barrage fires more projectiles. While you are radiant, final hits with the equipped throwing knife fully refund your melee energy.
HUNTER ASPECT “On Your Mark”
Precision final blows grant you and nearby allies increased weapon handling and reload speed for a short duration. Stacks 3 times. Activating your class ability grants immediate maximum stacks of “On Your Marks”.
Titan
TITAN ASPECT “Consecration”
Activate your charged melee ability while gliding to launch a wave of solar energy forward that damages and scorches targets in front of you while you jump into the air. Activate your charged melee again in the air to slam down and create a second larger wave of harmful solar energy. If the wave hits a scorched target, they ignite.
TITAN ASPECT “Roaring Flames”
Final blows with solar abilities or ignitions increase the damage of your solar abilities. Stacks 3 times.
TITAN ASPECT “Sol Invictus”
Final blows with solar abilities, impacts with Hammer of Sol, and defeating scorched targets create sunspots. Your abilities recharge faster and your super consumes slower while standing in a sunspot. Sunspots scorch and deal damage to targets inside. Entering a sunspot applies restoration.
Warlock
WARLOCK ASPECT “The Heat Rises”
You can fire weapons, melee, and throw grenades while gliding. Consumes grenade. Final blows in the air increase the duration of Heat Rises and grant melee energy.
WARLOCK ASPECT “Icarus Dash”
Dodge quickly in the air. While Heat Rises is active, you have an extra dodge.
WARLOCK ASPECT “Touch of Flame”
Healing, solar, firebolt, and fusion grenades have enhanced functionality. Healing grenade has improved healing and restoration, solar grenade increases duration and fires lava clumps, firebolt grenade increases target-seeking radius and amount, and fusion grenade explodes twice.
Players have received several options through the new Solar 3.0 aspects to create burning good builds and test them against the enemies of humanity and other guardians.
Additionally, there is a variety of new Ember Fragments, such as Ember of Eruption or Ember of Torches. Bungie also has four unknown fragments in the game, which will likely be revealed only after the release of the new dungeon “Duality”.
What the best options will ultimately be is already being discussed on reddit.
I can’t emphasize enough how damn cool the gameplay loop looks, putting a foe down with the [Hunter] grenade and then igniting them with the knife. […]
Bungie has brought Solar in Destiny 2 to an uncomfortable yet engaging level. In the latest Bungie Insight, the developer also gave a behind-the-scenes look at the development of Solar 3.0. We have linked the video for you here:
Start video
Destiny 2: Season of the Haunted in the Developer Insight
New movement for all three classes: In addition to the hot new abilities, the movement of all three classes has also changed with Solar 3.0.
The Hunter tumbles in the air to make his teammates shine.
The Titan makes a sliding uppercut to then slam his two Solar hammers down for fiery AoE damage.
And the Warlock probably “snaps” one of the deadliest sparks in the game from their fingers.
All information in Destiny 2 for the new Season 17 can be found here:
Old raid becomes a patrol area: Guardians can currently try out their new abilities on the returned Leviathan. While NewLight players wander around in awe, Destiny veterans are already quite familiar with the area.
Bungie has refurbished the “Leviathan raid”, which was old and vaulted, for the “Season of the Haunted” along with Circus, Throne Room, Underbelly, and pleasure gardens. It has become a large, overgrown patrol area that can be explored. However, not much of the former glory is left, as the Egregora plants of darkness have spread everywhere.
What do you think of the new Solar 3.0 abilities in Destiny 2? Which class did you start with and which aspect do you like best? What do you think? Which class will become the strongest damage dealer with Solar 3.0 in Season 17? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

Cotton yarn and cotton are occasionally needed in V Rising recipes. Especially when you want to craft better gear, cotton yarn will come in handy. We at MeinMMO show you how to get your hands on it.
Where can you find cotton? To craft cotton yarn, you first need cotton. You can primarily find it in the Dunley Farmlands.
You can only harvest cotton if you possess merciless copper weapons. You get these by looting or researching the recipe for them.
Note that you receive the garlic debuff as soon as you come near a settlement or a cotton field. It weakens you and you take more damage. Over time, the debuff becomes increasingly dangerous as it stacks.
First, you need to locate and defeat Beatrice, the seamstress in the village of Dawnbreak in the eastern Dunley Farmlands. Alternatively, you can track her blood trail at the Blood Altar to find her.
She is at level 38 and not particularly hard to defeat, as she spends most of her time fleeing and does not deal damage to you. However, local patrols can cause trouble.
Beatrice will provide you with the necessary know-how for the loom and cotton yarn. You will then need to place your cotton in the loom to craft the desired cotton yarn.
How much cotton do you need? It’s best to stock up on cotton, as you need 20 pieces to craft 1 cotton yarn. However, you can reduce the cost to 15 cotton if you place a sewing floor covering.
So you need a lot of cotton to produce enough cotton yarn. You don’t have to always go to the settlements and slaughter the hard-working people, as you can also grow your own cotton.
How do you grow cotton? Every time you harvest cotton, you have a chance to obtain corresponding seeds. You can then plant these at your base and diligently harvest them after they grow.
Netflix announced today, May 25, 2022, that the streaming service is getting 4 new games. Three of these games are available today, and these are not the first games on the platform. But how do you even play games on Netflix?
Which games are being added to Netflix? Netflix is adding three new games to its selection today, May 25, 2022. These games are Dragon Up, Moonlighter, and Townsmen: A Kingdom Rebuilt. On May 31, 2022, the release of the fourth game, Exploding Kittens, will follow.
Requirements for Playing Netflix Games
Do I need a Netflix subscription to play? To play a game on Netflix, an active subscription to the streaming service is required. You play the games through your Netflix account and Netflix profile.
As with series and movies, the Netflix games can also be downloaded and played on different devices with the same account. The games cannot be downloaded with the kids’ profiles.
If you reach the device limit and receive the related notification from Netflix, you must log out of an unused device to free up a slot.
Since an active Netflix subscription is necessary to play, the included games do not contain ads or additional costs in the form of in-app purchases.
On which devices can I play Netflix games? The games that Netflix has in its repertoire can only be played on mobile devices with iOS or Android systems.
Netflix games cannot be played on a TV, laptop, or PC. The same goes for game consoles with the Netflix app. This means that playing Netflix games on, for example, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One is not possible.
The following types of mobile devices support Netflix games:
How do I install Netflix games on my device? To play a Netflix game, you need to install the Netflix app on a compatible device and log in with your active Netflix subscription.
Then, select the “Games” section in the Netflix app. You should find it at the bottom of your screen in the left corner. The “Games” section is located directly next to the “Home” tab.
If you discover an interesting game in the “Games” section, click on it. A presentation of the respective game will then open with trailers, a description, and various images.
You can now either share this game via “Share” at the right edge of the screen with your friends through WhatsApp, Instagram, or similar services, or download it using the “Download Game” button.
If you click on “Download Game,” the “Google Play” store will open on Android devices with the game’s store page. There you will see the age rating, the number of downloads, and ratings, as well as the “Install” button, which you can use to install the game on your device.
On iOS devices, the installation works similarly, with the difference that the App Store opens and you need to click on “Get” or the cloud symbol.
You can find the Netflix games in the tab we highlighted in red named “Games”
In addition to a growing selection of mobile games, Netflix also offers other exciting content for gamers. While RPG fans can already look forward to the second season of The Witcher, we still have to wait for a second season of Arcane.
The series based on the successful title League of Legends received extremely positive feedback from viewers, which is why fans of the series were concerned in April about a second season when Netflix announced it would significantly reduce the budget for animated series.
In V Rising, you play as a vampire, essentially becoming the monster that you typically fight against in other games. This comes with certain peculiarities – namely, that you are indeed quite evil. Some players apparently do not like this.
What are prisoners in V Rising? In the new survival hit on Steam, you have the ability to capture humans. You can simply charm them and then lock them in a small cell, where they can barely stand, perhaps still sit.
The goal is to drain their blood as needed. In V Rising, there are 6 different blood types with special effects and various qualities. If you find a human with 100% pure blood, you will want to “milk” them as much as possible. You can simply lock them up and draw blood.
Prisoners lose health when bloodletting and gain “Misery.” Misery increases the damage they receive when drained. To ensure they serve as a blood supply for as long as possible, you need to provide your prisoners with food and keep their misery low. So, treat them “well.”

“Give us a kitchen to prepare meals”
What is the problem? Unlike your vampiric servants, prisoners need food. Currently, you can only provide your prisoners with 4 items:
Rats for healing
Fat fish for stronger healing
Rainbow trout to reduce misery
Wise fish for strong healing and also reducing misery
As you can imagine, life as a prisoner is accordingly not particularly pleasant. Additionally, villagers with certain blood types (Workers and Scholars) are often just unfortunate souls begging for mercy.
The reddit user AngryMobster thinks this is a bit too cruel. He has captured a Scholar with 100% pure blood and wishes he could treat her better:
I understand that it’s part of the vampire lore to treat humans like cattle. But my playthrough became so much better once I found the 100%-Scholar. […] So, of course, I want to treat my prisoner better. Not just keep her alive, but well enough that she stays in my service.
He jokingly refers to her as his “waifu,” meaning “wife.” Many people jumped on this, but his point is actually quite different.
We also have an involuntary blood donor. The blood can be easily stored in bottles.
This is the player’s idea: AngryMobster suggests creating meals in a kitchen. This would also justify a dining hall, which should actually be present in every castle.
The meals could increase loyalty. And once that reaches the maximum, prisoners could simply roam around the castle. As a bonus, it would then be possible to drink directly from them, not just drain their blood.
The system would also prevent the need to go fishing. Some players seem to be bothered by having to use this feature, because fish and trout are usually obtained from lakes. However, it is tedious to have to find exactly these 3 types.
The post has gathered over 224 upvotes within a day. For the subreddit of V Rising, this is an unusually large amount. What do you think about the idea?
Despite the fact that prisoners in V Rising are in a pretty rough situation, their blood is extremely important for the game. We want to know from you: Which blood type do you prefer to drink?
