Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 5 minutes

Destiny 2 is celebrating the Guardian Games 2022 starting today to determine who gets to brag about being the best class in the game next year. However, we will show you what you can expect this week and which stylish items are available for Glimmer.

This week: Destiny 2 kicks off the class competition this week. The “Guardian Games” event is an annual tradition that everyone can participate in for free. During the event, Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans compete against each other to prove which class is the best.

Especially the Warlocks have a score to settle this year as they are the only class that has not yet won a Guardian Games. It’s time for them to finally float elegantly and grab the gold medal.

If you are still considering whether to participate: Here are at least two reasons why you might not want to miss out on the Guardian Games 2022.

If you still want to know more about what players in Destiny 2 might expect in the upcoming Season 17, you should check out the exotic mission “Vox Obscura” this week. There, Zavala and Empress Caiatl reveal new information about the activities of an old acquaintance from previous Destiny days.

However, before you can start with the event and activities, you will have to undergo a small maintenance before the Weekly Reset. We will keep you updated on what adjustments Bungie has made there.

Check out the current trailer for the Guardian Games 2022 here. Small tip: Pay attention to the voice that supports the Hunters in the trailer with kind words.

The most important information on activities from 03.05 to 10.05.

The Nightfall: The Devil’s Lair is the strike this week:

  • Fallen S.A.B.E.R., in the Cosmodrome
    You must prevent the devils from gaining control of Rasputin’s war satellites again this week. If that were to happen, turrets from the Golden Age would be targeted at the Tower and the Last City within minutes.

Strike playlists have these modifiers:

  • Voidburn
  • Grenadier
  • Blackout
  • The burn modifier accompanies you all week, while the others change daily.

You can get these weapons from Nightfalls: Every week, players can obtain specific weapons from the Nightfall strikes. Currently, there are six rotating weapons in the loot pool. This week the rocket launcher is available:

  • The Hothead, Arc Rocket Launcher

Grandmaster Nightfalls: To start in the king’s discipline of strikes, the Grandmaster Nightfall, you need a power level of 1,575. You will also be fighting in competitive mode. This means you will be fighting 25 power levels below the Grandmaster power level of 1,600, so you will need to be tactically clever and work well as a team. Additionally, you will receive the Nightfall weapon in its adept version.

This is happening in the raid “The Oryx Raid“:

  • This week in the raid “Oryx Raid” the “Defense Failure” challenge is active. This raid challenge requires you to kill only one Besotted Knight with your Relic.
  • As a reward for the challenge in the third section of the raid on Grandmaster, this week you have the chance to obtain a master version of the submachine gun “Subjugation” or the fusion rifle “Redemption”. However, keep in mind that Normal and Hard Mode share the loot.

Sources for Top Loot in Season 16 of Destiny 2

This is the new max level: In the new season of the Resurrected, the maximum power level of your gear is 1,560. This increases the power level at the start of the DLC by +230 power levels compared to the previous Season 15. However, all players will also be raised to a base power level of 1,350 at the start and there are many sources to level up quickly.

Anyone who wants to reach 1,520 power level quickly only needs to complete the Legendary Campaign. One of the new Witch Queen exotics is also gifted to you upon completion.

LoL asks: What should our new MMORPG definitely not have? The largest Twitch streamer for WoW responds

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 4 minutes

Riot Games is currently working on implementing an MMORPG for League of Legends. The Game Director “Ghostcrawler” wanted to know on Twitter what players absolutely do not want to see in his new game. The well-known Twitch streamer Asmongold also joined this discussion.

What exactly did Ghostcrawler want to know? In a tweet, Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street, the head of the new MMORPG, collected feedback directly from players. It says:

Let’s take a moment to be a bit negative. Without disparaging other games, what features do you NOT want to see in the game we are developing?

By the game, he means the new LoL MMORPG, for which we have compiled all the previous information here.

In response to this call, over 5,000 likes and 1,000 comments accumulated within two days. Asmongold, known as one of the biggest WoW fans but also critics on Twitch and YouTube, participated in the discussion.

No character-bound progression, no setbacks, and meaningful levels

What does Asmongold want for the LoL MMORPG? In his first tweet, he mentions three things that the new MMORPG absolutely should not have:

  • Character-specific progress instead of account-wide. He is likely referring to things like achievements or shared bank usage.
  • Content that is intentionally unfinished to be reworked or improved as new content later.
  • Backwards-progression, meaning the loss of items or experience points that have been earned previously.

Additionally, he commented in another tweet on a statement from Twitch streamer shroud, who has been very active in New World and Lost Ark in recent months. The streamer goes so far as to say that he would like to play an MMORPG without levels. Instead, there should be a system where players become stronger through progress in the world.

Asmongold responded that levels in an MMORPG must have a certain value and praised New World’s crafting and item system:

I really liked how even the items and professions used and collected during leveling in New World have an impact on the overall economy.

While I think having a certain level of leveling is nice, it should have a purpose and lead one towards a larger goal in the endgame.

Who is Asmongold? Asmongold was for a long time the largest WoW streamer by numbers. He played World of Warcraft for many years but finally lost interest in Shadowlands. He used the time to play many other MMORPGs, such as  Final Fantasy XIV, New World  or  Lost Ark. With his strong statements and many discussions around MMORPGs, he often polarizes.

Time-gating, fast travel, and grinding are major discussion points

What are other players saying under the tweet? In the many comments, very different things are mentioned that players do not want in the LoL MMORPG.

Oftentimes, the point about time-gating is raised, meaning something is artificially prolonged because it cannot be repeated endlessly but instead has a certain time limitation. This includes daily tasks or loot that can only be collected a certain number per week.

Many are against time-gating and daily quests, while Ghostcrawler interjects that these systems are often meant to ensure that other players do not fall too far behind. Nevertheless, many hardcore players do not want their freedom of time to be restricted.

Daily quests exist in nearly every MMORPG, whether it’s Guild Wars 2, WoW, or here in Lost Ark.

The topic of grinding is also being discussed. Some find it good that one has to work hard for items, while others do not want the game to mutate into a “second job.” Developers need to strike a good balance here.

Another significant discussion point is fast travel. This is also viewed very controversially:

  • Some feel that fast travel destroys the immersion of the game. They want a griffon system like in WoW or to solve everything on horseback.
  • Other players say they want to spend their valuable time on gameplay rather than waiting.

Where all players agree is on avoiding Pay2Win and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), meaning the fear of missing something special. Both should definitely be avoided in the LoL MMORPG.

More on new MMORPGs at MeinMMO:

LoL MMORPG is still a long way off

What is known about the LoL MMORPG? Not much. It was announced at the end of 2020 and developers are still being sought. We know that it will focus on dungeons and raids in the endgame and generally is not supposed to appeal to every player. PvP will also be part of the game in some form.

The game is said to have a clear vision and has Ghostcrawler, the former lead designer of World of Warcraft, at the helm. However, it currently looks like the game will not be released anytime soon.

What do you think of the statements and wishes of the players? What should the LoL MMORPG definitely offer and what should it not? Feel free to write it in the comments.

Today Blizzard presents a new game about Warcraft – Here is what we know so far

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

On May 3, a new event by Blizzard will take place, where the new mobile game based on Warcraft will be presented. We at MeinMMO will reveal when the event takes place, what is currently known about the game, and what it is supposed to be according to leakers.

Update 7:30 PM: You can find all information about Warcraft: Arclight Rumble in this article:

More on the topic
Arclight Rumble: After 19 years, a new strategy game is finally coming to Warcraft
von Alexander Leitsch

Update 6:30 PM: We now know that the game is called Warcraft: Arclight Rumble.

Update May 3, 5:00 PM: In the Companies App of WoW, there is already talk of a strategy game based on Warcraft. This suggests that it could indeed be a game in the style of Clash of Clans that will be presented today.

When will the presentation take place? Warcraft Mobile will be presented on May 3 at 7:00 PM German time. You can follow the livestream on the official website of Blizzard.

We at MeinMMO will summarize all important information for you in an article immediately after the announcement.

What kind of game will this be? This is still not really known. However, there are already two interesting statements from Bobby Kotick about the game:

  • It is supposed to be a new premium product in the Warcraft universe
  • The aim is to maintain and grow the Community of World of Warcraft
  • Additionally, there was a job advertisement years ago looking for employees for an MMO-RTS as a mobile game

Whether it will actually be a strategy game or something completely different, we will probably find out tomorrow. However, players have several theories, and a well-known gaming journalist seems to be able to partially confirm them.

If you’re looking for a new strategy game from the makers of Warcraft, keep an eye on Spellcraft. Here’s a trailer for it:

Start video

Will Warcraft Mobile be its own version of Clash of Clans?

What do players expect? Here are the current player theories about Warcraft Mobile:

The well-known gaming journalist Jason Schreier claims that Blizzard is currently working on at least two mobile games. One of them is said to be a game similar to Clash of Clans, while the other is said to be inspired by Pokémon GO (via Resetera).

Which of these two games will be announced tomorrow is currently unknown. However, it is said that Warcraft GO has already been canceled, as editor Jez Corden from Windows Central claims (via Twitter). Everything suggests a type of Clash of Clans.

More about Warcraft and Blizzard:

What could a Clash of Clans style game based on Warcraft look like? When thinking of RTS and mobile, one first thinks of Clash of Clans. There, you build your own village with resources, walls, defense structures, and barracks and attack other players from there – or get attacked by them.

The basic idea therefore fits well with the Warcraft franchise and could even be combined with iconic characters from the world.

Moreover, the step would be logical for Blizzard, as Clash of Clans is a huge success and even has its own esports scene. The game was bought by Tencent in 2016 and helped the gaming giant to grow even bigger:

One gaming company is larger than Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft – and their logo is a damn penguin

Steam blocks free shooter set in World War II – Only German players are affected

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 3 minutes

Steam recently removed the free shooter Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (PC) from the German store. German players receive the message that the product is not available in their country. It appears to be a regional lock.

What game is it? It is Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. This is a tactical shooter set in World War II, developed by Splash Damage and published by Activision.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was released in 2003 as a multiplayer game, where the two opposing teams must complete objectives or prevent the opponent from completing theirs. Players can choose from five different character classes.

In Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, the Allies fight against the Axis powers within the WW2 setting. The maps are inspired by historical battlefields. Enemy Territory is an extension of the game Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001).

Reddit user discovers Steam restriction of Wolfenstein in Germany

How was the restriction noticed? The shooter just recently appeared on Steam because Bethesda is shutting down its store and is therefore releasing some of its old games on Steam. Alongside Wolfenstein, old games from the “Elder Scrolls” series also made their way to Steam. Thus, the shooter is considered “new” for Steam standards, even though it is actually 19 years old. Some players seem to have just taken a fresh look at the shooter.

Even though there was no official announcement from Steam regarding the restriction, it was noticeable that the shooter released in 2003 is no longer available in Germany.

For example, Reddit user u/LongJonSiIver shared a screenshot stating that the game has been banned in Germany.

Even on Steam itself, the restriction can be verified. There, German players receive the following message: “This product is currently not available in your country.”

MeinMMO has already inquired with Valve for a statement regarding the regional restriction of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory but has not yet received a response. We will update the article when new information becomes available.

Steam restriction Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory via SteamDB
The download of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is only restricted in Germany. via Steamdb.info

Where can you download the shooter? The restriction of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory applies exclusively to the German Steam store. In other countries, the shooter can still be downloaded via Steam without any issues.

The restriction of the shooter is thus a so-called region lock, where the game has been restricted for the specific region.

It is surprising that the development studio of the shooter, Splash Damage, does not align with Steam in excluding German players. On the studio’s website, the title is currently (as of May 3, 2022) still available without regional restrictions for German players.

Already in 2020, German players experienced special treatment on Steam: The shop pages of some adult games were specifically closed in Germany. At that time, Steam reacted to the filing of a complaint with the regional lock.

If you are interested in more Steam games:

In Germany, the Wolfenstein franchise is known for constantly facing restrictions. Well-known installments of the franchise such as Wolfenstein: The New Order or Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus received a separate German version.

In the German versions of the games, names and appearances as well as Nazi symbolism were altered.

FIFA 22: Learn these 6 tricks now to score more goals

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

In FIFA 22, it is somewhat more difficult to score goals. YouTuber BorasLegend has therefore presented some useful tricks to help you win your matches better.

Who is this? BorasLegend is a well-known FIFA professional and has been giving tips and tricks for years on how you can improve in FIFA.

The YouTuber has released several videos on FIFA 22, primarily showing tricks for better passes. Here we present a total of 6 tools to break through your opponents’ defense in FIFA 22, allowing you to score better goals.

Lofted Through Ball

This is how the trick works: You just have to hold L1 (LB) and tap Triangle (Y) twice to execute a high through ball. BorasLegend refers to this passing variant as one of the most effective ways to bypass the opponent’s defense.

Of course, you need to pay attention to several factors:

  • The timing of the pass must be correct
  • The position of your targeted player must also be ideal.
  • In a fast forward motion, the player should be just before the offside line when you make the pass.

With this pass, you can break through impenetrable defensive lines and send your player towards the opponent’s goal. It is simple, but effective.

Drive Cross

This is how the trick works: Hold R1 (RB) and press Square (X), then you can execute a drive cross. This offers several advantages. On the one hand, it is very precise, and on the other hand, powerful.

You can play this cross diagonally across half the field. However, you must ensure that there are no opposing players in the passing path who could intercept the ball.

If you have free passage and want to quickly switch the play, this variant is extremely useful and can serve as a can opener for new opportunities.

High Lob/High Cross

This is how the trick works: This variant is basically the counterpart to the driven low pass. In this case, you need to hold L1 (LB) and press Square (X).

This ball is played high but arrives at the target similarly strongly and precisely as the low pass. Thus, you can use it when you want to bridge several players and still push forward.

This variant is also suitable when your player in possession of the ball is under pressure and you want to free yourself. The pass is also very practical for switching sides.

Lofted Pass

This is how the trick works: This small but fine passing variant can be very useful in and around the opponent’s penalty area. You use the lofted pass by tapping X (A) twice.

Instead of playing a regular pass, you loft the ball over a short distance to your next player. This way, you can bypass opponents in tight spaces and create shooting opportunities.

Curled Low Pass with Direct Pass

This is how the trick works: This is a combination of the curled low pass (R1/RB + Pass) followed by a direct pass.

You play a curled low pass, and the receiver then plays the ball forward directly with a pass. If you hold L1/RB beforehand, you can send your player forward and play the direct pass right back to him.

This way, you can bring tempo to your offensive play and create goal-scoring opportunities through combinations. You can watch all these tricks and in-game examples in the video by BorasGaming:

Feint Shot – The Most Useful Skill Move?

This is how the trick works: One of the most useful offensive skill moves is Shot Cancelling or the feint shot. BorasLegend even suggests that this might be the best skill move in FIFA 22.

To feint a shot, you first need to start the shot with Circle (B), but before the shot is taken, hold L2 + R2 (LT + RT) and push the desired direction using the stick to cancel the shot just beforehand.

This takes a bit of practice and quick finger work, but it is well worth it. You can execute unpredictable movements that make you difficult to read in the offense.

This way, you can easily weave past opponents or suddenly change direction. When used correctly, this opens up numerous scoring opportunities, as BorasLegend presents in another video. (via YouTube)

Blizzard loses an astonishing 99% of its viewers on Twitch in 6 days

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The beta of Overwatch 2 set a record on April 27 with 1.5 million concurrent viewers. A week later, on May 3, Blizzard’s new shooter is lingering with 14,000 concurrent viewers. 99% of the viewers are gone – the hype apparently lasted only a short time.

That was the record:

  • On Wednesday, April 27, Overwatch achieved a seemingly huge and surprising success on Twitch: Over 1.5 million concurrent viewers watched the new shooter from Blizzard
  • Blizzard celebrated the success of the beta on Twitch: Overwatch 1 had not even come close to achieving that many viewers in the 6 years prior, Blizzard cheerfully tweeted (via twitter). The old viewer record from 2018 was shattered.
  • However, the record was apparently only achieved because many viewers watched Overwatch 2 to get access to the beta. Since that was through activated Twitch Drops. You had to watch for 4 hours.

These heroes are strong in the beta:

Already the day after the record, 19 out of 20 viewers were gone

What happened next? April 27 was clearly an exceptional day for Overwatch:

  • Already the next day, April 28, Overwatch peaked at just 69,000 viewers – 95.4% of the viewers had disappeared.
  • On May 2, it was only 27,000 viewers – 98.2% of the viewers were gone
  • Now on May 3, at the moment, Overwatch has 14,446 viewers left – that means: 99.04% of the record viewers are gone
More on the topic
Overwatch 2 dominates Twitch because Blizzard copied a trick from Riot
von Schuhmann

Time-limited action leads to time-limited hype

What does that mean? Well, Overwatch 2 is still in an early beta and only the PvP part is playable: For a fleeting viewer, the beta of Overwatch 2 looks exactly like Overwatch 1. The changes are mainly noticeable in the details and especially in one’s own gameplay.

But it already seems clear that the “trick” of Riot Games, to exclusively and randomly raffle the beta access to Valorant via Twitch Drops, only created a short hype for Blizzard.

In Valorant, the hype lasted for months back then, as the keys were also hard to get – that is not the case with Overwatch 2. The beta access to Overwatch 2 was guaranteed through Twitch Drops and the action only ran for a short time. Therefore, the trick only triggered a flash in the pan that burned extremely bright.

Whether Overwatch can establish itself long-term on Twitch and maintain viewer interest will be seen as the game progresses and the PvE part is revealed.

You can find MeinMMO’s assessment of Overwatch 2 here:

One of the most annoying problems of the Xbox Series X is finally solved – Save yourselves time and nerves

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Microsoft has finally addressed an annoying issue with the Xbox Series X. In the future, you will save a lot of time when you want to play your favorite games.

Anyone who wants to play on their Xbox Series X has likely faced the problem of the game shutting down by itself. Microsoft has now taken care of the annoyance behind it. This should save many players time and nerves in the future when they want to play their favorite game again.

Missing updates caused a lot of frustration for players on the Xbox Series X

What issue is being discussed? Anyone who starts a game on the Xbox Series X probably knows the problem. The game starts, only to shut down by itself afterwards. However, there is no error message. Only after several attempts to start or when you’ve waited, does the game want to do an update. Because without the update, the game does not start properly.

Especially multiplayer fans are likely to be familiar with the problem, as games like Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone require regular large updates. For example, for Season 3 in CoD: Warzone, you need to download around 40 GB on the Xbox. The update is similarly large on PC and PlayStation.

And exactly this back and forth with the updates caused a lot of frustration for users and cost valuable time each time. Want to start a session in Fortnite with your friends? The Xbox updater throws a wrench in your plans.

How is the problem solved? Previously, the problem was that the Xbox first had to calculate how large the new update would be. This took some time, and users tried to start their game unsuccessfully during this time.

Now you will receive a notification as soon as the update is available. The size of the update will still need to be confirmed, but you won’t accidentally start your game just to have the console shut it down again.

When will the update come? Currently, the update can only be used by Xbox Insiders in the “Alpha Skip-Ahead and Xbox Alpha” preview rings. You can only enter these update channels with a special invitation.

But depending on how stable the update runs, the update will become available for “normal” users more quickly. This should be good news for many users.

More on Xbox and Co. on MeinMMO:

More cool updates for the Xbox: Microsoft has been diligently rolling out updates for the Xbox Series X since its release. With one of the latest updates, a new feature was added to the Xbox Series X and S that you should activate. This way, you can spare your fellow players:

You should now activate the new feature of the Xbox Series X to avoid annoying others in multiplayer

For MMORPG players, for Diablo fans, and for lovers of shooters like ‘Escape from Tarkov’ or ‘Resident Evil 4’, one skill is essential: How to perfectly arrange the inventory? A new Steam game ‘Save Room’ trains this ability with a kind of ‘Inventory Tetris’: The game currently costs only €1.27. MyMMO author Schuhmann has tested it for you and joins the 93% positive reviews on Steam.

What kind of game is this?

  • ‘Save Room’ is a puzzle game where you must fit items known from shooters into an inventory across 40 levels: Various firearms and ammunition need to be placed perfectly in the limited and sometimes absurdly shaped inventory (via Steam)
  • You control the game using a keyboard or controller, grabbing, rotating, and placing items. Some items, however, are ‘fixed’, cannot be rotated, and others are just absurdly unwieldy, ensuring the puzzle solutions are not too easy.
  • The game costs a whopping €1.59 – it is currently 20% off. You can grab it for €1.27 on Steam.

And there is always too little space in the inventory

What is the gag of the game? The gag is that games like Diablo 3 or Escape from Tarkov have been annoying us from the very beginning with the fact that

  • there is basically too little space in the inventory
  • some items are so bulky that there would actually still be space in the inventory, but only if you arrange all other items ‘perfectly’ so that not a centimeter of space remains in the backpack and also the x-th healing potion fits perfectly

With this slight ironic torment, the puzzler from Fractal Projects plays. Especially players of ‘Resident Evil 4’ from 2005 see in the game a homage to the horror shooter from Capcom. But players from Diablo 3 should also feel at home right away and notice this slight scratching at the back of their heads, where experienced loot players recognize the call to arrange the inventory perfectly right away.

From Level 4, it becomes slowly absurd to arrange the inventory.

‘Loving homage to Resident Evil 4’

What do users say? With 93% positive reviews, the game is well received on Steam:

  • A passionate player says, Save Room perfectly emulates the aesthetics and mechanics of the inventory from Resident Evil 4
  • Another Steam user comments: A fun game to satisfy the craving for ‘inventory organization’ and a welcome dose of nostalgia

The only criticisms are that the game is rather short with 40 levels and that mouse support is lacking. It is a game solely for keyboard or controller.

Based on playtime, it can be said that most users probably spend about 2 to 3 hours with the puzzler before writing their critique on Steam – and likely either finished the game or closed it out of frustration.

Some MMO players develop an obsession with ‘order in the inventory.’

This is behind it: For some MMO players, it is almost an obsession to arrange the inventory ‘perfectly’. Some spend hours getting into it.

There are even cases of people passionately tidying up their friends’ inventories. For such people, ‘Save Room’ seems tailor-made. For others, it is an opportunity to put their skills in ‘Inventory Tetris’ to the test.

Diablo Immortal is coming to PC, but remains ‘mobile first’ – What does that mean for you?

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

We now know that Diablo Immortal will also be released on PC. However, Game Director Wyatt Cheng recently spoke about how that should look. It sounds like many systems still need to be adjusted and improved.

Where can I play Diablo Immortal? As announced during the release announcement, Diablo Immortal will be released on June 2 for PC, Android, and iOS. You can play the new ARPG on your home computer as well as on the go with a smartphone or tablet.

Originally, Diablo Immortal was intended only for mobile devices. The porting to PC came as a surprise, but it brings two important features: crossplay and cross-save. Here you can find the system requirements for PC.

You can play with all platforms together and continue your progress from on the go at home on PC – and vice versa. In our special, you will find everything you need to know about Diablo Immortal.

What should I pay attention to on PC? Although Diablo Immortal will be released on June 2, you can initially only play an open beta on PC. This means that many systems are still being tested and errors may occur.

However, since there will be no deletion after the beta (no “wipe”), we are talking about a soft launch. Nevertheless, PC is only the secondary platform for Diablo Immortal – we will reveal what you need to prepare for.

In our video, you can find everything you need to know about Diablo Immortal in 3 minutes:

“We remain focused on Mobile”

What disadvantages do I have on PC? Game Director Wyatt Cheng answered questions regarding the PC port in a Q&A (via wowhead). From his answers, we can derive some important information for PC players, including:

  • the PC client is still in beta – Cheng expects that some bugs will still occur
  • especially with regard to controls, Blizzard is relying on feedback from beta players
  • The goal is that Diablo Immortal runs better on PC than with emulators
  • the UI will not be scalable for the time being
  • Texts are sized on PC as they are on Mobile, so they will require some acclimatization, but scroll lengths are identical

According to Cheng, mobile devices should continue to be the focus of development. He states specifically in a response:

We want to remain focused on Mobile as the primary platform and see the PC as an enhancement of emulation. But not as something that costs too many development resources to make Mobile the best [experience] possible – like live content patches, etc.

Wyatt Cheng

The controls will work with both mouse and keyboard as well as with a controller. However, we do not yet know exactly how the mouse control will look. There are currently still tests missing. A port for M1 Macs and AppleTV is currently not planned, by the way.

5 things you should know before the release of Diablo Immortal
von Benedict Grothaus

What else should I pay attention to? Diablo Immortal will be a service game, continuously developed. You will receive content patches on both PC and Mobile. However, we do not yet know whether they will be released simultaneously.

Among the new content are new legendaries, new bosses, and even new classes. Data miners have already found a possible new class: a vampire knight. However, whether this will be added is still open.

Diablo Immortal is also supposed to be an MMO and rely heavily on social components. While you will be able to play solo, you will need a group for most content if you want to play it efficiently. We have already broken down what you need to know about this on MeinMMO:

Can you play Diablo Immortal solo and what content is only available for groups?

CoD Warzone: “Looking for an excuse to get rid of it for a year” – Chief developer wants to remove pro technique

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

The so-called “Slide-Canceling” is a movement technique in Call of Duty: Warzone, which is actually a kind of glitch. Nevertheless, the trick can be found in many CoD titles and continues to be controversially discussed. A senior developer of Warzone sees Slide-Canceling as a thorn in his side and is apparently seeking confirmation from the community to finally fix the glitch.

What is the problem with Slide-Canceling? The movement trick allows you to exploit a small error in Call of Duty: Warzone to skip the cooldown of the tactical sprint.

As a result, you can move faster and keep your hit zones in motion, making deadly headshots significantly more difficult for you. Here is a guide to Slide-Canceling.

The trick has been in the game since the release of CoD MW 2019 and is also part of Warzone. Through the professional players, Slide-Cancel has made its way into regular matches and is now a normal part of the gameplay.

However, it is actually a glitch, and the Senior Creative Director at Warzone developer Raven Software, Ted Timmins, has now commented on it. He would like to fix the trick.

Developer Seeks “Excuse” to Fix Slide Glitch

What did the developer say about it? The fan account “ModernWarzone” asked on Twitter in a survey: “Do you want Slide-Canceling in MW2 and Warzone 2?”:

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the Twitter content

Of nearly 35,000 participants, 59.4% were in favor of retaining Slide-Canceling.

But even before the end of the voting, the developer Ted Timmins spoke up. He wrote in several replies:

I have been looking for an excuse to fix Slide-Canceling for over a year. […] I have absolutely nothing against skill gaps, but I do have something against accessibility issues. Gaming and control schemes should be accessible to everyone. […] if the community wants us to remove the Slice-Cancel, we will internally discuss the pros and cons and bring a change with a future update.

Ted Timmins on Twitter

The survey by Modern Warzone shows how divided the community is on the issue of Slide-Canceling. Therefore, we also want to know from you what you think of the little trick:

The trick has been around for a while in Call of Duty and is particularly a strong gameplay element when combined with the tactical sprint.

With a possible return of the tactical sprint in the new Modern Warfare 2, Slide-Canceling would again be on the agenda.

More about Warzone on MeinMMO:

Whether Slide-Canceling will disappear from Warzone is currently uncertain. The survey by ModernWarzone showed a slight lead for the trick in the end.

We would also be very interested in how you feel about the “glitch.” Feel free to leave us a comment on the topic. If you want to read more about gameplay tricks in Warzone, then check here: An underrated item in CoD Warzone saves you from annoying zipline campers

This is the downtime in the morning: The servers are expected to shut down at 10:00 AM our time to install update 20.30. Matchmaking will already be disabled 30 minutes beforehand, meaning you won’t be able to search for new rounds from 09:30 AM.

When can you play again? The servers are usually offline for several hours during such maintenance, and playing will not be possible. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This has been shown by the updates in recent weeks.

During such maintenance, there may also always be technical problems, bugs, and delays. If such complications occur, we will immediately report them here.

Outriders returns after a tough 1st year with the big DLC Worldslayer – Who is it worth it for?

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 6 minutes

In June, Outriders is finally getting its first major DLC: Worldslayer. The large addon expands pretty much everything from the main game and brings numerous new content and features. MeinMMO gives you an overview.

What is Worldslayer? This is the first major add-on to the loot shooter Outriders, which was recently revealed. It expands the game in almost all areas:

  • The story campaign continues and brings a new main enemy to face. You will fight against Ereshkigal, who is also changed and thus has special abilities like the Outriders.
  • There will be new skills, armor, and weapons. Additionally, existing systems will be expanded and especially in the endgame, you should be able to further develop your character beyond what was possible in the main game.
  • Furthermore, there are new difficulty levels, and the existing challenges system will be overhauled.
  • There will also be some new endgame mechanics and activities.
When does Worldslayer come out?

The DLC will be released on June 30 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and Google Stadia.

What does Worldslayer cost?

The DLC costs 40 euros. Together with the main game, you will currently have to pay 80 euros.

How much playtime should the new DLC offer?

This is difficult to say due to the different difficulty levels. However, the story content should offer between 4 to 10 hours of gameplay, plus the new endgame activities.

What is known so far about Worldslayer can be found here in our overview. Before that, you can check out the reveal trailer for the DLC:

Outriders Worldslayer – All info about the DLC at a glance

What is the story expansion about? The anomaly, which already represents a major mystery in the main game, also plays an important role in the DLC.

To get to the bottom of it, you will be sent to new areas plagued by snow and ice storms. Many details are still unknown, but our new main enemy has already been introduced:

This is your main enemy in the Worldslayer campaign: Ereshkigal.

Ereshkigal is the leader of the so-called “Human Insertion” faction and will probably be the next major threat. She is also a “Changed” and threatens the existence of the humans who found refuge on Enoch.

To defeat her, you will need to venture into new areas, gather stronger weapons and armor, and further enhance your abilities. You will need them to face the new threats.

There will be new variants of already known enemies, but also numerous completely new foes and monsters. But besides the loot, there will also be a new progression system that allows you to further customize your character in the endgame.

Related topics:

The new Ascension system lets you improve your attributes

This is how it works: With Worldslayer, Outriders receives four new categories that you can further improve on your character thanks to the new Ascension system:

  • Endurance
  • Brutality
  • Prowess
  • Anomaly Power

In total, you can collect 200 Ascension points, which you can distribute freely across these four categories. Each category improves various attributes of your character.

As with the already known skill trees, you can reset and redistribute your points for free at any time. This makes new experiments possible and you can further optimize your builds.

Outriders Expansion

Here you can see some images from Worldslayer

New challenge levels, Apocalypse gear, and activities overhaul the endgame

Here’s what is changing in the challenge levels: The known challenge levels from the expeditions will be eliminated. Instead, there will be new Apocalypse tiers that go up to level 40 and are intended to be even more challenging.

Currently, we do not know exactly how this will work.

This is the new endgame activity: Besides the expeditions, the new activity “Trial of Tarya Gratar” is supposed to expand the endgame. We do not have exact information about it yet, but there is talk of an even greater threat. Since expeditions were not received particularly well by players, hopes are certainly placed on a meaningful expansion of gameplay here.

This activity is supposed to be a completely new mode in which you track down the civilization of the Pax and explore their ruins. These are the actual indigenous people of the planet Enoch, who already play a significant role in the campaign.

For loot collectors, the new Apocalypse gear should also be exciting. It allows you to obtain both new and old legendary sets with an additional perk.

You can now get 3 perks per equipment piece instead of the previously allowed maximum of two. This is supposed to significantly increase the build possibilities.

Here you can watch the complete presentation of Worldslayer:

Spotlight zur Enthüllung von Outriders Worldslayer

Who benefits from the DLC and how is Outriders doing in general?

This is the current state of the game: Outriders was one of the most controversial games of spring 2021. While gameplay, story, and loot system received a lot of praise, there were massive server issues, serious bugs, and glitches.

It took a while, but with the “New Horizon” update, Outriders is finally in a mostly flawless state. New features like a transmog system rounded things off. Additionally, a lot of community feedback has been implemented and the expeditions have been overhauled, for example. However, in the meantime, many players have lost interest.

Here you can find a detailed summary of the current state:

7 months after release, Outriders is finally good in the endgame
von Tarek Zehrer

Who is Worldslayer worth it for? Primarily, developer People Can Fly wants to bring back players who had fun with the main game and want more. But they also want to win back players who left in frustration.

During a playtest event, MeinMMO author Tarek Zehrer was able to take a brief look at a section of the new campaign. Here are his impressions after playing:

I was only able to get a quick look at the DLC, but even that surprised me positively. In my opinion, there is little to shake up in the core gameplay of Outriders; there were no major surprises here.

However, what stood out positively to me: The presentation of the story and the missions played was more epic and cinematic than a large part of the main story. The levels also seem to be more varied. Although I haven’t been able to extensively test the new features like the Ascension system yet, at first glance, the DLC seems to build on all the aspects that Outriders did well in the main game and improves them again.

But it’s still too early to draw a conclusion. I personally look forward to returning to Enoch.

Tarek Zehrer

Freelance author for MeinMMO

What is it like for completely new players? New players now find one of the most rounded loot shooters of the past years with the main game and could subsequently play even more content with Worldslayer.

Even if the DLC is aimed at “veterans,” there has probably never been a better time to start with Outriders. Outriders especially appeals to players who:

  • Are looking for an entertaining and off-the-wall third-person shooter.
  • Want to try out unique classes that differ significantly from each other and have really cool abilities.
  • Enjoy playing cooperatively with up to two other players, while Outriders can also be played solo.
  • Do not value PvP, as there is none in Outriders.

In the endgame, the game does become significantly more grind-heavy, but even if you’re not into that, you can spend at least 20 hours solo with the campaign, as long as you don’t rush through the game on the lowest difficulty.

Outriders is currently also in the Xbox Game Pass if you want to try out the shooter.

If you want to jump in directly with the DLC, you can also start with a new character at level 30. However, it is generally recommended to complete the main game first, especially if you value the story. If you are generally interested in Outriders, you can find all our articles on the loot shooter here.

The Gaming Week is running on Amazon – But are the discounts worth it for you?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

On Amazon, you can currently find hardware from Razer, Logitech, and others on sale. But are the discounts worth it for buying a new mouse, keyboard, or graphics card? There are even claims that there is a chance to buy a PS5 on Amazon.

Are you considering buying a graphics card or upgrading your setup with a new mouse or keyboard? The Gaming Week at Amazon comes at just the right time. But are the offers really worth it when you’re looking for new accessories?

We have looked at the offers for you and explain whether and how much money can really be saved.

Amazon Offers: Good Deals, but hardly the Best Prices

How good are the offers really? Currently, you can save up to 40% on hardware when buying from Amazon. We present a few representative offers that are currently available on Amazon:

  • The Basilisk Ultimate including dock is currently available for 89 euros. This is a good and fair offer but is not better than the sales of recent months. The mouse was available at similar prices before. The mouse is aimed at multi-talents who are not limited to any genre.
  • The Logitech G052 Hero Lightspeed is currently available for 72 euros. Also a fair offer for one of Logitech’s best gaming mice, and it is suitable for many genres. The free-spinning scroll wheel is unique. However, in April, the mouse was available several times for around 70 euros.
  • The Razer Black Shark V2 is a really good gaming headset for under 100 euros, currently available for 58.99 euros. The offer is good, but you have been able to get the gaming headset for under 60 euros since early April.
  • A similarly good deal is the Logitech G Pro X. You can currently get the Logitech headset for 70.99 euros. Only at the end of December 2021 was the headset 1 euro cheaper.

Are there any current top offers? A really good offer is a gaming monitor, namely the AOC Gaming C24G2U. Both the flat and curved versions of the monitor are among the best gaming monitors you can find for under 200 euros. Therefore, you can also find the device among the best monitors currently available for purchase.

The curved variant with Full HD resolution and 165 Hz is currently available for 149.00 euros. It has never been this cheap before. If you are looking for a Full HD monitor, this could be worth it for you:

Also a really good offer is the Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-45-R9YF). This is a gaming laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, 16 GB RAM, and GeForce RTX 3070. The device also features a 15-inch display with IPS technology and 144 Hz. You get a solid overall package for gaming for 1399 euros instead of 1599 euros. You haven’t been able to get the device for this price before (via geizhals.de).

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Amazon Offers: Graphics Cards and Consoles are Not Worth It

What about graphics cards? Anyone wanting to buy a graphics card or console will not find anything among the current offers. While you can get an RTX 3080 Ti from ASUS for 1552.72 euros thanks to Gaming Week and save 13%, the price is still significantly higher than for comparable graphics cards. An RTX 3080 Ti can now also be had for under 1300 euros (via geizhals.de).

What about consoles on Amazon? The same is true for consoles: An Xbox Series X or PS5 is currently not on sale, and the Xbox Series S is available for 279 euros instead of 299 euros on Amazon. However, the current best offer is at 269 euros, and in March you could already get the Series S for around 250 euros. You can also buy the Xbox Series X|S via subscription and save some money if you want to subscribe to GamePass.

Currently, it seems that you might be able to purchase a PS5 on April 4 at Amazon. Amazon always offers the PS5 at the suggested retail price. Therefore, you won’t pay exorbitant markups like with scalpers.

If you are still looking for a PS5 or Xbox Series X, check out our ticker here on MeinMMO. We keep you updated daily and explain how to get a PS5 most effectively and show you drops related to the coveted console. We will also inform you about drops for the Xbox Series X:

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Wingull and more candies

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO today, on May 3rd, the Spotlight Hour features Wingull. We show you everything about the candy bonus, start time, and the Shinys.

What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday, a Spotlight Hour runs in Pokémon GO. For 60 minutes, a Pokémon is in focus, selected by the developers for the event. This is accompanied by a bonus that should make the event even more exciting.

Today, the “Spotlight Hour” focuses on the Pokémon Wingull. It comes from the third generation of games and belongs to the Water and Flying types. Additionally, there is a bonus that affects your candies.

Spotlight Hour on May 3rd with Wingull – Contents

When does it start? As you may know from other events, the start signal will sound precisely at 6:00 PM local time. The event will then be active for one hour and will end at 7:00 PM local time.

What bonuses are there? You will encounter Wingull all over the wild. Its spawns are significantly increased. If you want even more encounters with the Pokémon, you can light a incense during the event, which will mainly attract Wingull.

Additionally, you will receive double the amount of candies when catching Pokémon. So, it can also be worthwhile for you if you complete raids during the event period and then receive more candies for the caught raid bosses.

Pokémon GO: All Spotlight Hours in May 2022 and their Bonuses
von Patrick Freese

Can you catch Shiny Wingull? Yes, the shiny version of Wingull is already available in Pokémon GO. With a bit of luck, you can catch it. In the following graphic, we show you Wingull and its evolution Pelipper in the normal form and in the shiny form.

Pokémon GO Shiny Wingull
Normal Wingull and Pelipper (in blue) and the shiny forms (in green)

Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today?

Here’s what to expect: You can’t really make use of Wingull itself in raids or trainer battles. Its evolution Pelipper is useful. It performs in the Great League and Ultra League at least in the mid-range – but there are better alternatives there as well.

More about Pokémon GO:

Thus, the Spotlight Hour today is mainly worth it for the candy bonus or if you want an “okay” performing attacker with Pelipper for the Great or Ultra League. The chance for Shinys exists, but it is not increased for the event.

In the coming weeks, many more events will start. An overview of all dates and events in May 2022 in Pokémon GO can be found on our site MeinMMO.

LoL: Korean becomes the best player in the USA and 2 weeks later is dismissed – After the high came the crash

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In League of Legends, the South Korean Park “Summit” Woo-tae (23) was voted the best player in the US league LCS. However, two weeks later, the top laner leaves his team Cloud9 again. He was only there for 6 months. No one really understands why he is leaving – but somehow it just didn’t fit. While the regular season went fantastically, the playoffs turned out to be a complete disaster for Cloud9.

Which player are we talking about?

  • The top laner Summit was only known to hardcore LoL fans in the West before 2021. He played for South Korean LoL teams like SanBox Gaming, which are not as prominent as the internationally renowned Korean teams T1 or DAMWON Gaming.
  • As part of a “Korea” experiment, Summit ended up at Cloud9, who fully embraced “Korea” with a new coach and conquered the US league with an innovative, somewhat crazy style. There was already talk that Cloud9 would become the outpost of the LCK in the USA.
  • Summit was voted the best player of the league after the regular season; he was Cloud9’s “win condition” and seemed superior to all other top laners in the USA. Viewers raved about the spectacle that Summit created with champions like Gnar, Camille, or Tryndamere.

There are also great stories about eSports in League of Legends in Germany:

Cloud9 was great in the regular season with Summit as the “win condition”

This is how the regular season went: Early on, a rift appeared at Cloud9: Coach LS, who was supposed to manage the Koreans and is considered a revolutionary thinker in LoL, left the topic early without anyone really knowing what went wrong.

Even without the visionary LS, Cloud9 still looked like a favorite for the championship. Although it didn’t go as brilliantly toward the end of the season as at the start, they finished in 2nd place after the regular season with a 13-5 record. Especially because of Summit, who was later crowned the “most valuable player in the USA”, the MVP.

Summit looked like the new face of the LCS.

Cloud9 completely sinks in the playoffs because everyone just targets Summit

This is where things went wrong: However, Cloud9’s weaknesses became apparent in the playoffs. Because Summit was indeed the “only win condition” for Cloud9.

It was enough for the opposing teams in the playoffs to fully concentrate on top laner Summit and take him out of the game early to put Cloud9 out of action. The playoff opponents 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses started several ganks into the top lane early in their games to keep Summit down.

Summit, the team’s strength in the regular season, now proved to be the Achilles’ heel. In the playoffs, Cloud9 was eliminated with 0-3 and 0-3 without winning a single game.

Summit leaves Cloud9 – Team promises to explain more later

This is the result now: Cloud9 announced that Summit is leaving the team again after only 6 months. This happens less than 2 weeks after he was voted the most valuable player in the USA.

The mid laner Fudge will switch back to the top lane. There is talk that the sidelined Jensen from Team Liquid will be moving to Cloud9 and shifting to the mid lane.

The Korean thanks the team for welcoming him so well. He is especially grateful to the management of Cloud9, who took care of him, even “after we terminated the contract.”

Explanations will follow later.

Why exactly the “Summit” experiment ended abruptly after half a year is not known. It sounds as if both sides are satisfied with the solution now.

From Cloud9, it sounds almost like they know how disappointed the fans are and promise “later explanations”.

The fans don’t seem disappointed by Summit’s performance, but rather that the Korean wore their colors for only 6 months. He was simply an exciting player, whether it worked out or not.

Cloud9 is currently a complete puzzle. Even the departure of the star coach fascinates the League of Legends fans:

Hunters in Destiny 2 are doomed to be a PvP class and their Exos are to blame

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, Bungie advertises a great variety of builds by polishing the old elements and subclasses. Yet despite this, the Hunter is doomed to unleash its true strength mainly in PvP, and that is solely because your Exotics force you to.

What is the problem with Hunters? Hunters have a long story of nerfs and buffs in Destiny 2. However, thanks to Void 3.0 and the fact that the other two subclasses are outdated, the most agile Guardian class often struggles to establish itself well in PvE. This is mainly due to the Exotics available to Hunters.

Every class uses its top-tier Exotics to gain special bonuses in combat. Without them, it is hard to succeed in endgame content. Therefore, Exotics are a must-have for every Guardian’s loadout of builds.

All ‘usable’ Exotics, however, that Hunters can equip at any time often shine in PvP. Improved sprinting, faster ability cooldowns while sprinting, and enemy tracking on foes you’ve hit. All these perks are primarily geared towards PvP. Currently, Hunters have hardly any opportunities to assert themselves strongly in Season 16 PvE.

Only two Exotics can strengthen the Hunter in PvE

Since Void 3.0 is the current meta in Destiny 2, only three Exotics are suitable for the Hunter in PvE:

  • Orpheus Rig – For add control or high boss damage
  • Omnioculus – For better survivability thanks to faster invisibility
  • Graviton Forfeit – For solo players
destiny-2-hunter-fight-pvp 2
Can the Hunter prove himself only in PvP?

The remaining elemental Exotics are practically useless as they have been stomped into the ground by the meta. They are not worth it and cannot perform well in practice.

What remains are all-round Exotics, such as the Wyrm Crown or the Shadow of Dragons, which provide you with bonuses when you dodge or sprint. These can be used in PvE, but their use is primarily worthwhile in PvP.

In fact, the Hunter could be an outstanding PvE player, yet it seems that Bungie has other plans for the agile combat machine. The selection of the current Exotics suggests that Bungie sees the Hunter more in PvP than in PvE.

In PvE, the Hunter can be a supporter, but he hardly assumes a core role like that of Titans or Warlocks. He can also be replaced effortlessly. However, the majority of Guardians play in the role of the Hunter. To not let them fade completely, Bungie needs to make some changes in the future.

Will this change? Bungie has announced that the overhaul of the other subclasses is underway. Thus, Guardians will soon be able to use more than just the Void Exotics. Consequently, Bungie will also feel pressured to rework some of the Hunter’s Exotics.

More about Destiny 2 can be found here:

Many are useless and unworthy of their Exotic rank. However, with Arc or Solar 3.0, Bungie will hopefully offer Guardians alternatives so that other builds can be constructed around these elements.

Sandbox work will take place, but how extensive or large this will be is up to Bungie. However, it will be exciting to see what options the Hunter will receive. Will Arc 3.0 ignite the era of Hunters where only they are sought after for raids? Or will the Golden Gun soon be able to wipe out every boss completely?

What do you think about the Hunter currently being only good in PvP? Do you find it ridiculous or do you also believe that the Exotics are to blame for Hunters primarily dominating PvP? Let us know in the comments!

Twitch loses important streamer and his crazy fans to YouTube – “The offer was damn insane”

Sayumi (Lena) Sayumi (Lena) Reading time 2 minutes

In his last livestreams, Sykkuno hinted that something bigger was coming. “I was very busy,” said the Twitch streamer, emphasizing how rarely he was live on the platform in April. Now his fans also know why: YouTube made Sykkuno an enticing offer, and he is now switching there.

Who is Sykkuno?

  • The 31-year-old is one of the top streamers on Twitch with 4 million followers and nearly 10,000 subscribers. At his peak, he had 39,447 subscribers – he was one of the highest-earning streamers on the platform.
  • About 15,000 people tune into his streams almost daily. From October 2020 to June 2021, he averaged 30,000 – 50,000 viewers.
  • In his streams, Sykkuno mainly plays GTA V, Valorant, or Fortnite. However, he also enjoys switching to Just Chatting to chat with his fans.
  • His fans are very devoted to Sykkuno. When the streamer Froste joked that it was not him but Sykkuno who was nominated for the Twitch Awards, they sent him photos of his house and threatened him.

PogChamp was probably the offer from YouTube for Sykkuno, what it means, you can see in our video:

Sykkuno’s streamer buddy talks about “absolutely ridiculous offer”

What did the streamer buddy say? The streamer KristoferYee, a buddy of Sykkuno, although he did not talk about exact numbers and possible sums, described the offer from YouTube as “crazy insane.” He suggested that they probably paid him between 1 and 29 million euros.

YouTube’s deal is apparently a few numbers larger compared to the “absolutely ridiculous offer” from Twitch. KristoferYee also does not understand why Twitch lets big streamers go who bring viewers to the platform.

While they save on not offering the streamers money to stay on Twitch, they lose in the long run. No one would switch to Mizkif now that Sykkuno has switched to YouTube, says KristoferYee. The thousands of fans are going with Sykkuno and potentially leaving Twitch forever. That’s a lot of money that the platform is losing.
