LoL: Head of the European champion explains that 50% of teams cheat – Not just his, but he is the best at it

He himself is still “pretty fucking tame,” so quite harmless. However, he simply says he is “very time-efficient,” Ocelote laughs.

When asked about the accusations from MAD Lions in September 2021 that he attempted to manipulate players, Ocelote merely responds: “Yeah, whatever. The MAD Lions can fuck off!”

Back then, G2 supposedly tried to poach the ADC “Carzzy” of MAD Lions to replace their ADC Rekkles, who moved to the 2nd division.

Ocelote emphasizes:

The team we currently have was formed through discussions we had with people we were allowed to speak to. During these times. In fact, officially, every player who has ever been with G2 has never been poached.

How will it proceed? Unofficially, Ocelote says: Every good team in the league is currently confronted with poaching, both Fnatic and Rogue. Both teams have an “insane” strong roster. The top players are constantly approached on Discord.

The only way to change that would be to abolish the rule entirely. Until then, Ocelote and G2 will continue to make fun of it, even if it is difficult for him to discuss the topic.

It’s a strange topic. I don’t know. It’s an ugly conversation because everyone does it, and everyone knows that everyone does it. But every time someone is accused of doing it, everyone jumps up and says, “Oh, look at this guy!” Yet everyone is doing the same thing, it’s just an ugly topic of conversation and I think it’s better to just get rid of the rule entirely. But okay, that’s never going to happen. That’s just wishful thinking.

Ocelote

How is this being discussed? On reddit, LoL players are discussing the interview. Even if many see Ocelote critically due to his aggressive demeanor, most agree with the essence of his statement:

  • Even in “normal sports,” there is constant violation of corresponding rules. Either Riot must enforce its rules consistently (which is viewed as impossible) or abolish them.
  • To monitor compliance with the rule, Riot would have to thoroughly oversee every conversation, every Discord, every personal message over social media – that is simply impossible.
  • Ocelote is clearly right, they say. The “poaching” will never stop.

Ocelote has pretty hot views on LoL, as one can repeatedly see:

LoL: G2’s boss calls other teams “stingy” and their fans “damn crazy”

According to Ocelote, 50-60% of teams in the LEC poach; they do it constantly: players talk, come into Discords, jump into calls, and meet with people.

Ocelote has pretty hot views on LoL, as one can repeatedly see:

LoL: G2’s boss calls other teams “stingy” and their fans “damn crazy”

According to Ocelote, 50-60% of teams in the LEC poach; they do it constantly: players talk, come into Discords, jump into calls, and meet with people.

He himself is still “pretty fucking tame,” so quite harmless. However, he simply says he is “very time-efficient,” Ocelote laughs.

When asked about the accusations from MAD Lions in September 2021 that he attempted to manipulate players, Ocelote merely responds: “Yeah, whatever. The MAD Lions can fuck off!”

Back then, G2 supposedly tried to poach the ADC “Carzzy” of MAD Lions to replace their ADC Rekkles, who moved to the 2nd division.

Ocelote emphasizes:

The team we currently have was formed through discussions we had with people we were allowed to speak to. During these times. In fact, officially, every player who has ever been with G2 has never been poached.

How will it proceed? Unofficially, Ocelote says: Every good team in the league is currently confronted with poaching, both Fnatic and Rogue. Both teams have an “insane” strong roster. The top players are constantly approached on Discord.

The only way to change that would be to abolish the rule entirely. Until then, Ocelote and G2 will continue to make fun of it, even if it is difficult for him to discuss the topic.

It’s a strange topic. I don’t know. It’s an ugly conversation because everyone does it, and everyone knows that everyone does it. But every time someone is accused of doing it, everyone jumps up and says, “Oh, look at this guy!” Yet everyone is doing the same thing, it’s just an ugly topic of conversation and I think it’s better to just get rid of the rule entirely. But okay, that’s never going to happen. That’s just wishful thinking.

How is this being discussed? On reddit, LoL players are discussing the interview. Even if many see Ocelote critically due to his aggressive demeanor, most agree with the essence of his statement:

  • Even in “normal sports,” there is constant violation of corresponding rules. Either Riot must enforce its rules consistently (which is viewed as impossible) or abolish them.
  • To monitor compliance with the rule, Riot would have to thoroughly oversee every conversation, every Discord, every personal message over social media – that is simply impossible.

LoL: G2’s boss calls other teams “stingy” and their fans “damn crazy”

Carlos “Ocelote” Rodriguez (31) is the boss of G2 Esports, the European champion, in League of Legends. In an interview, he rants: Half of all teams in the European league violate transfer rules. Although he is often accused of illegally poaching players from other teams, he claims to be the most harmless, yet the best in this game.

Who is this?

  • Carlos “Ocelote” Rodriguez was a midlaner in the early days of LoL but switched to management early on and has built the most successful team in Europe with G2 Esports since 2014.
  • At heart, Ocelote remains a passionate gamer and speaks bluntly, which doesn’t sound like a CEO at all. He regularly goes off the rails and infuriates fans of rival teams. He sees the team “Fnatic” as his main competitor and aims to sabotage them. He has issued a clause that “his star player” Perkz cannot switch to Fnatic.
  • Before the 2022 season in LoL, Ocelote wildly restructured his entire team, firing many stars and replacing them with unknowns. However, success proved him right: In Spring 2022, G2 was again crowned champion of the LEC after wiping out the top favorites Rogue 3-0 in the finals.

Rules threaten lifetime bans for poaching contracted players

What rule do the teams in LoL allegedly violate? There are 3 rules in the “Esports Global Penalty Index” from LoL that prohibit “poaching” and “tampering” with players (via esports.assets).

In short:

  • As long as a player has a contract with a team, they cannot be lured by others to break that contract and switch teams.
  • “Poaching” is therefore prohibited – players under contract cannot be approached and certainly not poached.
  • All these offenses carry enormous penalties – we are talking about at least 5 months of game suspension up to a lifetime ban.

“Technically,” only players or coaches who are “free agents,” meaning those who currently have no contract, should be approached. During an ongoing season, discussions about transfers are strictly prohibited.

lol-regeln
The rules for Esports in LoL impose severe penalties for poaching contracted players.

“I play by the same rules as others – And I play better”

What does Ocelote say about this? The head of G2 states in an interview with Inven that practically no one adheres to this rule. Although he has been accused in the past of wanting to poach contracted players, G2 has consistently suffered from poaching itself:

  • For example, G2 lost the then-best bot lane in LoL, Zven and Mithy, to poaching in 2015.
  • They lost the supporter Hybrid in 2016 right before a tournament.

Ocelote says:

Ultimately, we have continually been hit by poaching throughout our existence. Officially, I tell you that I don’t poach. But just between us, I tell you that I play by the same rules as everyone else. And I play better!

Ocelote emphasizes:

The team we currently have was formed through discussions we had with people we were allowed to speak to. During these times. In fact, officially, every player who has ever been with G2 has never been poached.

Twitch streamer explains how much money she makes with a nude platform and why she is giving it all up

Twitch streamer Amouranth has explained how much money she currently earns per month on the platform Onlyfans: $1.8 million, around €1.66 million. But she also explains why those times are over. She wants to reach a broader audience that feels repelled by such ‘questionable performances.’

What is Amouranth’s concept? The Twitch streamer Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragua has a clear concept that has made her the most successful streamer on Twitch:

  • On Twitch itself, she makes the ‘most sexually suggestive content’ that is still allowed within the rules: She bathes in a bikini in her living room, plays with plastic balls, moans into microphones, and presents herself as provocatively as possible.
  • On the ‘public social media’ platforms like Instagram or Twitter, she posts pictures of herself in lingerie and beachwear. She flirts with the idea that her viewers would surely “have fun” with the pictures (via twitter)
  • She repeatedly links her account on ‘Onlyfans’: There, erotic content appears that would be forbidden on public platforms because it shows too much – Fans must pay for this content, while Amouranth’s content on Twitch, Twitter, and Instagram is free.

Since Amouranth has employees, her earnings on Onlyfans have exploded

How successful is she with it? The exact amounts she refers to are explained in a conversation with Devin Nash, someone who knows the financial side of being an influencer:

“I’ve done quite well. I’ve made about $300,000 a month – just with Onlyfans. But after I hired people and we all combined our skills, I was able to increase it to about $1,600,000 to $1,800,000. A month, just on Onlyfans. So… that was pretty crazy.”

Streamer knows there is an “expiration date” on how long she can make money with her body

Why is she stopping? Amouranth announced a few days ago that she would change all of her content and move away from Onlyfans.

But she’s not doing this because she is ashamed of it; rather, she cites other reasons why her time as a “shameless e-girl” (Amouranth on Amouranth) is now over.

She said back in March that she knows she has an “expiration date” on how long she can monetize her body. That’s why she has started investing in stocks.

https://twitter.com/G4TV/status/1502081896058015750

Amouranth has been “farming viewers” in recent years as a “constant grind”

Amouranth now says: In recent years, her content was optimized to “farm people” who wanted her suggestive content.

However, that was actually just a steady, laborious grind, into which a lot of time flowed: In recent years, it was all about bringing enough viewers to those platforms from which she makes money.

But in this way, it is hard to expand her audience enough to find viewers whose attention span is long enough for them to follow her even when she talks about her animal welfare plans. Because after the loss of a dog, Amouranth’s main focus is now on earning enough money to dedicate her life to animal welfare.

amouranth-dog
Amouranth says the death of her dog Viego motivates her today to work hard to save more animals later.

To reach these other viewers in the future, she needs to increase her ‘entertainment value’ and attract a larger audience. But that is hard as long as she does ‘questionable things’ that repel normal viewers:

Therefore, she now wants to increase the ‘entertainment value’ of her Twitch streams and appeal to a ‘mainstream audience.’ And not focus on delivering content that definitely does not appeal to everyone.

The transition from ‘Amouranth, the nudist’ to ‘Amouranth, the entertainer’ should be a smooth transition and take place in mid-2022. Until then, she wants to “turn it up a notch,” as they say. So with these ‘things that definitely do not appeal to everyone’:

Twitch tournament for €92,000 in Rust is prematurely canceled – Winner calls loser “softy”

A 48-hour “Twitch Rivals” tournament for Rust promised a prize pool of $100,000. Big names like xQc, shroud, and DisguisedToast participated. However, a Spanish team made loud and frequent complaints. Consequently, the tournament was prematurely canceled. One of the tournament winners, xQc, referred to the losers as “Soyboys”, wimps.

What kind of tournament is this? Twitch Rivals is a tournament series organized directly by Twitch. These are mostly tournaments for games that, while popular on Twitch, do not have their own esports scene. In Twitch Rivals, not only esports players compete, but also various variety streamers. What stands out is the high prize money available to win at Twitch Rivals.

The latest “Twitch Rivals” tournament for Rust was one of the biggest so far. $100,000, which is approximately €92,500, was up for grabs. It featured streamer giants like xQc, shroud, and DisguisedToast.

Rust tournament took place between North American and Spanish-speaking streamers

Twitch: Who were actually the first successful streamers?

How was the tournament supposed to proceed? For 48 hours, players were to survive and compete in specially set up servers for the tournament in the survival shooter.

The streamers were split into 2 teams: North American streamers with DisguisedToast as captain and Alexby11’s team. He led streamers from Spain and Latin America.

The teams were supposed to gather as many resources as possible while simultaneously building their bases and supplies. The tournament was to conclude with the ultimate showdown, where both teams would attempt to raid the opposing base.

What happened instead? However, this did not happen. On the second day, the news broke that the tournament was canceled. The teams reportedly came to a mutual agreement that DisguisedToast’s team should be declared the winners early.

Spanish streamers felt disrespected

Why was the tournament canceled? Already on the first day of the tournament, a significant controversy arose. Spanish-speaking streamers complained that the competition was unfair and that their region was not getting enough respect. They were seriously considering leaving the tournament midway.

The reason for these complaints was that the Spanish players had a clear disadvantage due to time zones compared to the North American streamers. This format was deemed unfair towards players from Europe. Additionally, the North American team allegedly showed them a “pitiful lack of respect.”

When xQc became aware of these complaints, he had strong words for the Spanish streamers:

“They could literally log in when they are the fittest while we are all sleeping. They could literally raid our base in the last 3 hours and just get $100,000.”

“But instead, they go on Twitter, cry to the admins, cry in chat, cry on stream, and meet in small groups to give up like wimps. Who the hell raised these idiots? Such soft losers, God in heaven.”

What exactly led to the tournament’s cancellation and whether Alexby11’s team actually gave up is unclear. However, the organizers of Twitch Rivals announced with the cancellation of the tournament that changes would also be promised:

“We have heard the community’s feedback and will clarify the rules in the future to avoid confusion, reassess the format, and reconsider the timing for global events.”

Did you watch the Twitch Rivals for Rust? What did you think of the developments? Did the Spanish streamers have a point, or do you agree more with xQc? Let us know in the comments.

Another famous personality on Twitch has also changed plans. Amouranth announced that she no longer wants to be an e-girl:

Final Fantasy XIV: Everyone wants to win a spot for their house – But the lottery is so broken that the boss intervenes

In the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, “Housing” has been a major topic for years: there are too few building plots, especially since Final Fantasy XIV has become so popular that it is bursting at the seams. With a lottery, they wanted to expand the housing system in Ishgard, but that failed. The main boss is now pulling the plug.

What is the problem with houses in Final Fantasy XIV? There are simply too few building plots. The places where you can set up your own home in Eorzea are limited and in demand. Since Final Fantasy XIV is experiencing such hype, the problem is getting worse.

This is how they wanted to solve it: With Patch 6.1, a lottery system was introduced in Final Fantasy XIV. New plots were also supposed to come in Empyreum, Ishgard’s adventurer residential area. In this way, 1440 additional slots per server were to be created, distributed via the lottery.

Final Fantasy XIV changes the housing and disappoints players – “My dream of having my own house is bursting”
von Tarek Zehrer

0 always wins

Why did it go wrong? According to reports on reddit, there are two major problems with the lottery for housing plots:

  • Some houses indicated that the number “0” had won, but there was no real player holding that number, so no one won the plot – even if only one person had bid on it.
  • Some houses indicated that there were no participants in the lottery, even when it was clear elsewhere that several interested parties had bid on the house.

According to reddit users, these problems occur with all building plots in the game, not just the new ones in Ishgard.

These errors were already acknowledged by Square Enix on Easter Saturday (via lodestone).

Boss stops the next cycle: “It’s very complicated”

This is what the chief says: The boss of Final Fantasy XIV is Naoki Yoshida, also Producer and Director of the MMORPG, a mythical figure who once led the game out of damnation and to great heights. He made a statement on Easter Saturday.

Yoshida stated:

  • They take the problems very seriously and are investigating them with high priority.
  • They apologize to the players, but admit that the situation is really complicated and they need to investigate further.
  • The current lottery cycle was supposed to end on Wednesday, but they will let it run and not start a new one until the problem is solved.

Pokémon GO: The 10 best Rock-type attackers in list format – Raid Guide

In this raid guide, you will find a list of the 10 best Rock-type attackers in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO will show you what makes each monster special and why they are excellent for use in raids.

To be optimally prepared for the upcoming raid battles, you should rely on the 10 best Rock attackers. These are particularly effective against Bug, Ice, Fire, and Flying types.

You can find more strong attackers of other types in our overview of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

The 10 best Rock attackers ranked

  1. Rihornior with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
  2. Rameidon with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
  3. Terrakium with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
  4. Despotar with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
  5. Wolwerock (Day Form) with Stone Throw and Stone Edge
  6. Brockoloss with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
  7. Aerodactyl with Stone Throw and Rock Slide
  8. Amoroso with Stone Throw and Rock Slide
  9. Regirock with Stone Throw and Stone Edge
  10. Stolloss with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge

How was the ranking created? In this list of the best Rock attackers, we have only considered Pokémon that you can already obtain in the game. All listed monsters can be caught through raids or in the wild, or you can evolve them from another Pokémon.

We also oriented the order based on the stats and movesets of the individual monsters. The best Crypto Rock attackers and the best Mega Evolutions of Rock type can be found at the end of this article in a separate overview.

1. Rihornior

Pokemon-Go-Rihornior
Rihornior normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge

Rihornior is the final evolution of Rihorn. It comes from the 4th generation of games and is of the Ground and Rock type. Rihornior benefits mainly from high attack and stamina stats. Its defense is also impressive.

With its moveset of Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge, Rihornior can deal significant damage to the opponent. However, note that Stone Edge is an event attack that you can currently only obtain through the use of a Charged TM.

Is there a Shiny Rihornior? Yes, you can catch Shiny Rihorn and evolve it into Rihornior. You can recognize a Shiny Rihornior by its yellow armor on its body.

2. Rameidon

Rameidon normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide

The Rock Pokémon Rameidon also comes from the 4th generation of games and is the evolution of Koknodon. While it has a significantly higher attack stat than Rihornior, it is not as durable in battle.

With its combination of Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide, it also deals considerable damage but cannot quite match Rihornior’s Stone Edge. For this reason, it secures a close second place in our ranking.

Can you catch Shiny Rameidon? To obtain Shiny Rameidon, you must first catch a Shiny Koknodon. You can find it in the wild during partly cloudy weather, but it also occasionally appears in eggs and research tasks. You can recognize a Shiny Rameidon by its red markings on its head and body.

3. Terrakium

Pokémon-GO-Terrakium
Terrakium normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide

Another strong Rock attacker is the legendary Pokémon Terrakium. It comes from the 5th generation and is of the Rock and Fighting types. Occasionally, you will find it as a raid boss in level 5 raids.

Terrakium has a slightly better attack stat than Rihornior but does not come close to Rameidon. However, it has solid defense and can also score in stamina, allowing it to endure in battle for a while.

In battle, you should best rely on its attacks Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide. This allows it to deal significant damage to the opponent, just like Rameidon. Furthermore, Terrakium is also one of the 10 best Fighting attackers in Pokémon GO.

Can you catch Shiny Terrakium? Yes, you can catch a Shiny Terrakium with some luck. You can recognize it by its brown body and red horns.

4. Despotar

Despotar normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge

The final evolution of Larvitar is the Rock and Dark Pokémon Despotar. This Pokémon comes from the 2nd generation and excels with high attack and stamina stats. It is also slightly better in defense compared to Terrakium.

Unlike other Rock attackers, such as Rihornior or Rameidon, Despotar relies on a moveset of Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge. However, it takes significantly longer to charge this charged attack.

Is there a Shiny Despotar? Yes, you can obtain the Shiny form of Despotar in the game. To do this, you need to catch a Shiny Larvitar and evolve it accordingly. The Shiny variant of Despotar has a purple belly and a different shade of green compared to the normal form.

5. Wolwerock (Day Form)

Pokemon-GO-Wolwerock-Tag
Wolwerock (Day Form) normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Stone Throw and Stone Edge

Wolwerock is a Rock Pokémon from the 7th generation of games. It evolves from Wuffels into its two forms: Day Form and Night Form. However, it is particularly suitable for use in raids in its Day Form.

Wolwerock (Day Form) particularly shines with a high attack stat, nearly as strong as that of Rihornior. It also has impressive stamina. With a moveset of Stone Throw and Stone Edge, it has a fast quick attack, but deals less damage than other charged attacks with Stone Edge.

Alternatively, you can also rely on its Night Form. This has slightly lower attack but endures longer in battle due to its higher stamina and defense stats. Here, you should also use the moveset of Stone Throw and Stone Edge.

Can you catch Shiny Wolwerock (Day Form)? No, to obtain the Shiny form of Wolwerock, you must first catch a Shiny Wuffels and then evolve it into Wolwerock during the day. You can recognize the Shiny variant by its blue body.

6. Brockoloss

Pokemon-GO-Brockoloss
Brockoloss normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide

Brockoloss also makes its way into the list of top Rock attackers. This Rock Pokémon from the 5th generation evolves from Kiesling. In contrast to some other candidates on the list, it has a slightly lower attack value.

However, with its moveset of Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide, it deals good damage to the opponent, just like Rameidon and Terrakium.

Is there a Shiny Brockoloss? If you catch a Shiny Kiesling, you can evolve it into Brockoloss through Sedimantur. You can recognize the Shiny Brockoloss by the light blue tips that extend across its whole body.

By the way: Sedimantur is one of the Pokémon in the game that you can evolve into Brockoloss for free after a trade. What you need to know about this and which monsters it also applies to can be found in our related article:

More on the topic
Pokémon GO: Trade Evolution – All Evolutions That Are Free After Trade
von Patrick Freese

7. Aerodactyl

Aerodactyl normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Stone Throw and Rock Slide

The Rock and Flying Pokémon can impress with solid attack stats. However, it is slightly worse than Brockoloss. Its moveset of Stone Throw and Rock Slide also deals slightly less damage. However, its quick attack is relatively fast.

Can you catch Shiny Aerodactyl? Yes, you may encounter a Shiny Aerodactyl with some luck. You can recognize it by its purple body.

8. Amoroso

Amoroso normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Stone Throw and Rock Slide

Amoroso is the evolution of Amonitas. The Rock and Water Pokémon has the same defense stats as Brockoloss. Otherwise, it also has solid values in stamina and battle.

Just like Aerodactyl, you should use a combination of Stone Throw and Rock Slide in battle. This may deal slightly less damage than the movesets of other candidates, but the quick attack is relatively fast. However, since Stone Throw is an obsolete attack, Amoroso can no longer learn it.

Is there a Shiny Amoroso? Yes, if you catch a Shiny Amonitas, you can evolve it into Amoroso. You can recognize it by its purple body.

9. Regirock

Regirock normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Stone Throw and Stone Edge

The legendary Pokémon Regirock from the 3rd generation can also rank as a good Rock attacker. The Rock Pokémon has no pre-evolutions or evolutions.

Regirock is particularly convincing due to its enormous defense stat. Its stamina is also solid, allowing it to endure in battle for a long time. However, it is weak in attack and has the lowest attack stat among the top attackers.

Like Amoroso, it relies on the quick attack Stone Throw, which is relatively quick. However, with Stone Edge, it has a charged attack that takes a while to be used. However, its damage output is significantly lower compared to other movesets.

Can you catch Shiny Regirock? Yes, with some luck, you may encounter a Shiny Regirock in one of the level 5 raids. You can recognize it by its dark brown body.

10. Stolloss

Stolloss normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

Best moveset: Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge

Stolloss is the final evolution of Stollunior. The Steel and Rock Pokémon from the 3rd generation also impresses with solid attack, which is slightly weaker than that of Amoroso.

However, just like Regirock, it can score points in stamina and defense, remaining by your side in raids for a long time. With the quick attack Rock Wrecker, it dishes out solid damage to the opponent. However, it takes a while for Stone Edge to charge.

Is there a Shiny Stolloss? Yes, you can catch Shiny Stollunior and evolve it into Stolloss. Shiny Stolloss is recognizable by its silver-green body.

Best Crypto Rock Attackers

  1. Crypto-Despotar with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide
  2. Crypto-Aerodactyl with Stone Throw and Stone Edge
  3. Crypto-Amoroso with Stone Throw and Stone Edge
  4. Crypto-Stolloss with Rock Wrecker and Rock Slide

Are Crypto Pokémon worth it? Unlike other monsters, Crypto Pokémon have a 20% stronger attack. This allows them to deal more damage to their opponents. Although they are slightly weaker in defense and therefore don’t last as long in battles, the use of Crypto Pokémon in raids can still be worthwhile.

Best Mega Rock Attackers

  1. Mega-Aerodactyl with Stone Throw and Stone Edge

Are Mega Evolutions worth it? It is also worth considering Mega Evolutions in raid battles. These are temporary evolutions of individual monsters. Their stats are higher, and their own attacks are also stronger in battle.

Furthermore, Mega Evolutions in raids also boost the attacks of other Pokémon if they correspond to the respective type of the Mega Pokémon. Therefore, it is advisable to include Mega-Aerodactyl in your team.

However, it is currently the only Mega Pokémon of Rock type. As soon as there are more Mega Rock attackers, we will update this list accordingly.

8 tips that quickly make you a PvE endgame pro in Destiny 2

Destiny 2 is a game of repetitions. Anyone who plays an activity over and over again automatically gets better at it. But that’s not the only reason why a player becomes a PvE endgame pro in Destiny 2. The Destiny streamer “Above” has captured this well and summarized it in an insightful video for the community.

Who is the Destiny 2 player with the good tips? The tipster is the Destiny 2 streamer “Above”. He likes to play activities as a so-called “Low-Man Challenge” and is always up for challenging endgame activities.

  • In his video, he not only gives important tips on damage buffs and resistance mods.
  • He also explains the 40/60 rule, which is barely known among Destiny 2 players.
  • Additionally, he has helpful advice on how to always have enough power ammo
  • and why it’s not always a solution to blame the game for everything.

MeinMMO has taken a look at his tips and summarized the most important ones that “Above” presented in his video for you.

The Destiny streamer “Above” shows you how to go from noob to pro.

Tip 1 – Understand the gameplay in Destiny 2 better

You won’t be told how something works in Destiny 2. Instead, Bungie loves to use subtle hints in the game to draw Guardians’ attention to specific things. You have to figure out for yourself how something works. The more difficult the activity, the more complex and interesting the mechanics usually are.

Moreover, a lot in the game tries to distract you from the truly important things. This is intended to make it additionally difficult to stay focused on the actual task.

Longtime players in Destiny 2 know that you should learn to ignore trivial things. This includes, for example, enemies that respawn repeatedly. Your focus should therefore initially be on your own actions in the game. They pay attention to changes occurring in the game.

  • When do which enemies spawn?
  • Does the music in the game change?
  • Are new hints or buffs appearing with certain actions?

It often becomes apparent that they initially focus less on DPS weapons, but rather on grenade launchers with flash grenades, to keep an activity running as long as possible. Only when they understand how something works do they optimize their loadout for damage.

Tip 2 – Stop blaming the game

Stop “Blaming the Game” and change your perspective.

This point is something that certainly every player has been guilty of, not just in Destiny 2. One blames the game for personal failures.

Of course, you get upset when you die, but that usually doesn’t happen because the game has a glitch. Rather, it’s because you either positioned yourself poorly or heroically attempted a reckless action that ultimately got you killed.

Even if “the Architect” in Destiny 2 sometimes disagrees, you should use every death to learn from it. Think about what you did wrong and then focus on correcting the mistake the next time.

Use your deaths for constructive adjustments: Destiny, as already mentioned, is a game of repetition, but if you refuse to use these repetitions for something constructive, you will struggle to improve. However, if you change this mindset, your gameplay will improve in no time.

Tip 3 – How damage stacking works in Destiny 2

brunnendesglanzes-warlock-destiny2-nerf-update340
Well of Radiance provides a 25% damage bonus for 30 seconds.

Many players still have little experience with damage stacking, i.e., stacking damage. This is complicated by the fact that there are tons of stackable buffs and debuffs, such as Charged with Light, Elemental Sources, Artifact Mods, and various damage perks.

There’s hardly a player who hasn’t been confused by this at one point or another.

Here are the basics for buffs and debuffs:

  • There are damage buffs that always stay in the game.
    • One example is the “Tectonic Harvest” buff of the Void Titan. The “Bubble.” The buff can also be renewed if you go inside the bubble again after it has expired.
    • Also, the Well of Radiance from the Solar Warlock belongs to the permanent damage buffs.
    • The higher damage value always takes precedence.
  • Debuffs make enemies more vulnerable to incoming damage.
    • Debuffs use abilities, such as the Shadowshot of the Void Hunter, and the Titan’s small hammer, which lasts for 6 seconds and deals 50% additional damage to a single target hit with the melee ability.
    • Alternatively, weapon exotics like the “The Tractor Cannon” and the “Divinity” can be used. They weaken enemies by up to 30%.
    • Debuffs themselves cannot be stacked; however, they can be combined with the aforementioned damage buffs.
    • Players can therefore always use a basic damage buff alongside at least one debuff.
A precise overview of all current damage buffs and debuffs can be found in this player-created online document, which is also regularly updated.
This is how to stack damage optimally in Destiny 2.

It gets more complex when various armor mods come into play. These currently include Light Mods, Warmind Cell Mods, and Elemental Source Mods.

  • Some of them, like the Light Mod “High-Energy Fire,” stack weapon damage. However, it does not work with the damage buff of the Void Bubble from Titans.
  • The Elemental Source Mod “Source of Power” and “Rasputin’s Power,” a Warmind Mod, do stack with the Void Bubble. Perhaps because they are more complex in setup than the Light Mods, so Bungie allowed them to stack.

Always use the seasonal artifact mods: Last but not least, the seasonal artifact mods offer additional options. These are seasonal and therefore temporary mods that change from season to season. As a result, they also have a significant influence on the game’s meta. Recently, the seasonal mods “Breach and Clear” and “Particle Deconstruction” have been absolute must-haves in the game.

  • Seasonal mods offer unusually large damage bonuses.
  • They stack with everything mentioned so far and can therefore make a significant difference.
  • They often also provide weapon-specific damage advantages that can also stack with other sources.

Some of the most popular options in Season 16 for optimal damage stacking are the combination of “Guardian’s Line”, “Vorpal Weapon”, and “One for All”.

With this knowledge, players can at least fundamentally stack buffs and debuffs that fit their playstyle and ultimately help their team optimize damage whenever needed.

Tip 4 – Understand and utilize resistance mods

For a long time, Guardians have been able to upgrade their armor with numerous so-called resistance mods. Some of them have become almost indispensable, which is why it is important to know and have them. To obtain all of them, you need to invest a bit of time.

Certain combat style mods help you survive longer in the game.

If you were wondering why you get one-shot killed by all enemies in the endgame, then equip yourself with a few of these mods in your armor. Afterward, you will ask yourself this question much less frequently. This includes, for example, the Light Mod “Protective Light”.

  • The mod “Protective Light” ensures that when your shields break and your health drops into the red zone, you get a free 10% damage resistance.
  • “Sniper Resist” can be a bit misleading. The resistance mod does not only protect against snipers. It protects you from attacks more than 29 meters away. So if you get shot from 28.5 meters away by a sniper, this mod actually does nothing for you.
  • The resistance mod “Flinch Resistance” applies to any AoE damage, including grenades, environmental damage from enemies like witches and knights, general fire attacks, and even boss stomp attacks.
“AoE damage” refers to “Area of Effect” damage. It means the area damage from individual enemies.

That’s why you should always equip resistance mods: All of these mods can also be stacked. This can provide you with additional advantages. If you combine it with “Protective Light,” you will even gain additional damage resistance.

Golden Gun Hunter Destiny
A noticeable difference in the game.

Where to get these combat style mods? You can buy all so-called combat style mods at the Tower. Ada-1 and Banshee-44 sell randomly selected combat style armor mods from the “Charged with Light”, “Elemental Sources,” and “Warmind Cell” mod groups each day. This allows players to gradually obtain all armor mods they do not yet own. The offerings of the NPC vendors rotate daily.

On the next page, you will learn how to always generate heavy ammo in Destiny 2 and how the 40/60 rule works.

Why is the loot always White, Green, Blue, Purple, and Gold?

Whether MMORPG or single-player game: In many games, we are presented with items in the colors white, green, blue, purple, or gold. But where does this well-known color code come from?

We players have been conditioned over the years to recognize the well-known color code for items that indicates their value or effectiveness: white is less good, while the best equipment is purple or gold. Some games vary their item colors, but many adhere to the code that has accompanied us for years.

This article originally appeared in 2019 and was last updated in Easter 2022.

Where does the well-known color code come from?

Many of you will surely think of World of Warcraft first when hearing about the well-known colors for items. However, you are only partially correct, as the color code was introduced in earlier games.

Item color codes were already used in games of the early internet. For example, there were the so-called BBS door games, which operated through computer systems known in German as mailboxes. One of the most famous BBS games, Legend of the Red Dragon, already used a color system to display the rarity of items.

legend-of-the-red-dragon
Early text adventures and graphic RPGs already used a version of the color code. Source: YouTube

The broader gaming audience was probably only introduced to the color scheme with the release of Diablo 2 in June 2000. The ARPG introduced a rudimentary version of the color code that is still in use today.

The code was expanded in the MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot, which was released in October 2001. However, the colors of the items were dependent on the level of the player’s hero: gray items were far below the hero’s level, while yellow items were optimal. Orange, red, and purple items were above the character’s level.

World of Warcraft sets the standard

The popularity of World of Warcraft since November 2004 is what drives players to chase after differently colored loot even today. Blizzard’s MMORPG introduced the code that indicates the quality of various items: gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, and with heirlooms, also yellow.

WoW Superloot Weltbosse

With the success of WoW, other games also adopted this color scheme, especially in MMORPGs and MMOs, the code is popular. In addition to WoW, others such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and Guild Wars 2 use colored items, albeit with slight variations.

As more and more games adopted the color code, players became accustomed to this system. The color scheme is now so well-known and easy to understand that many games still rely on the color code today.

In which games is the code still used?

In addition to classic MMORPGs, other games have also adopted the color scheme, so colored items now appear in a variety of genres. Shooter fans might recognize the code from Destiny 2 or The Division, but it is also used in the battle royale hit Fortnite.

Even in single-player games, colored items can be found: Among others, the action-adventures Kingdoms of Amalur and Darksiders 2 have adopted the well-known scheme from WoW.

Lost Ark starts event where you can quickly get 600,000 silver – But only on certain days

In Lost Ark, the new “Spring Fever” event has started. This offers you some nice rewards just for logging in. However, these rewards are only available on Saturdays and Sundays, and you must log in on both days to maximize your gains.

What kind of event is this? Today, on April 16, the new “Spring Fever” event started. During this event, you can earn the following rewards with one character per squad each Saturday and Sunday:

  • 3x Delicious Master Omelet [Masterwork]
  • 3x Light Currency Chest of Regulus
  • 10x Phoenix Feather

All you have to do to loot is log in and claim the reward in the event menu.

Lost Ark Event Silver
You will receive the new rewards with a click in the appropriate menu.

Keep in mind that the rewards reset every day at 12:01 PM. Therefore, you can claim the Saturday reward until Sunday noon, and the Sunday rewards until Monday noon.

How long will the event last? The event is expected to run until a weekend in mid-May. There is currently no exact date.

Silver Rewards Are Well Received

Is the event worth it? Yes, because essentially you just need to log in briefly for the loot. On the Lost Ark subreddit, the silver reward is particularly highlighted.

Each Light Currency Chest of Regulus brings 100,000 silver, and you can get a total of six of them each weekend.

The currency is especially important to upgrade gear and prepare for the latest Argos raid.

What do you think of the new event? Is that enough of an incentive for you to log in briefly on weekends? Or would you have played anyway?

The patch that Lost Ark released this week included hardly any new features. However, the update next week will be all the more interesting. It will likely include the new class Lance Master, which was mentioned in a teaser. More on this here:

WoW: Shadowlands has destroyed something that Blizzard will probably never be able to fix again

Death was the end of a journey and a permanent danger. But in World of Warcraft, that is no longer the case. How does Blizzard plan to save this story?

It is now no secret that Shadowlands has not exactly excited many players. One must not only talk about the gameplay, but just the story alone elicits derisive snorts from many.

One of the biggest criticisms does not deal with the “story itself,” explicitly not with the details that take place in the Shadowlands. It concerns a completely different problem:

Death is completely demystified.

The problem with the story of Shadowlands likely lies mainly in its long-term significance. Giving death in World of Warcraft a face and clear rules is on one hand a very cool thing.

To know what happens after death is a wish that not only the characters in the game have, but also most people in the real world every now and then nurture. Showing a clear definition of the afterlife with all its rules is fundamentally a cool framework for a fantasy setting.

WoW Shadowlands Jailer title titel 1280x720

However, these revelations are also likely to lead to the peoples and cultures in World of Warcraft undergoing massive changes in the coming years. When a paladin now tells his dying comrade, “In the Light, we will be reunited,” that is no longer faith, conviction, and wishful thinking, but simply factually wrong.

When a mage kills a wayward colleague who has become a warlock and declares in anger that “Only hell awaits him” – that is simply not true. Because presumably the warlock will land in Revendreth, play a few decades as an Anima battery, and then ultimately find peace in the afterlife.

The various cultures, whether humans, taurens, orcs, or draenei – they will all inevitably get a very clear picture of death in the coming years. What does that do to cultures whose beliefs go back many centuries or millennia? Can something like that even be convincingly represented in an MMORPG, not just for a single people – but for a whole multitude of them?

Pelagos is too nice to be the Grim Reaper

The next big problem is Pelagos. He became the new Soul Judge, which is fundamentally an acceptable story, although it was a bit rushed and difficult for non-Kyrian to comprehend. However, it has become quite clear that Pelagos, in his rise to Soul Judge, has hardly lost any of his personality. He is still a person who evaluates each being individually, and whose actions are mainly driven by compassion.

Blizzard has put itself in a very difficult dramatic situation with this decision. Because death, in almost all forms of storytelling, is a simple yet extremely powerful tool. It is the ever-present threat in the background, a driving factor of tension. Stories about adventures and seemingly insurmountable obstacles are often thrilling because when heroes fail, death looms. Series like “Game of Thrones” or “Squid Game” have shown clearly how much tension the mere possibility of death can evoke and how shocking it is when main characters are not spared.

Pelagos is “too good” – death loses its threat.

Some of the most emotional and powerful scenes in World of Warcraft are only so because death has such weight. Whether we take the slaying of the nightmare corrupted Ysera in Val’sharah, the brutal death of Garrosh in Nagrand, the last breaths of Vol’jin in Orgrimmar, or the heroic death of Saurfang.

All these moments had power because death was accompanied by uncertainty. Because death is a drastic cut that removes characters from the equation of the story. Sure, some characters reappear as souls or shades, are summoned by shamans, or similar. But those were always just brief moments or extreme exceptions that had a story-based reason for why their souls remained.

All of this is now destroyed – and probably irreversibly.

Just imagine how differently you would have experienced some cinematics in World of Warcraft. Would Ysera’s death have had the same impact? Would Varian’s heroic sacrifice have left you staring at the screen if you had known that after death they come to Pelagos, who judges their souls?

World of Warcraft Dragon Lore Yseras Fall
Ysera’s death was one of the most emotional scenes in Legion – difficult to achieve that now.

No, almost certainly not. The fact that Pelagos is not – like the previous Soul Judge – acting as a relatively objective “machine,” but as a being driven by compassion makes this situation even worse. Any character that is somewhat heroic or portrayed as “good” will end up as a soul before Pelagos and will most likely be sent to the “cuddle puddle paradise for good souls” due to his friendly and compassionate nature.

Of course, there are exceptions. Varian’s soul, for example, did not go to the Shadowlands, it was obliterated by fel magic, for fel magic destroys souls and has the ability to completely consume them.

But that death in the story of World of Warcraft is now only the end in exceptional cases and no longer the rule, could be a blow that will fall back on the storytellers’ feet in the coming years.

Blizzard will have to find a solution to this narrative problem. And the only obvious fix is to create an even greater threat that threatens both the realm of the living and the realm of the dead. Because only when souls would also be in danger in their afterlife would death again become a real threat.

But no one wants such huge, cosmic threats right now – and rightly so.

Dismantling the myth of death was a rather radical decision. And I hope that the writing team knew very well where they wanted to go with this. Because otherwise, everything in the Warcraft cosmos loses relevance.

New MMORPG mixes old-school gameplay with bosses that drop Bitcoin – Here’s what to expect after release

Rise Online is a new MMORPG that is meant to play like an old classic with modern graphics. It was released on April 15, but the launch generated hardly any attention. However, the players who are out there in Rise Online have some criticisms.

What kind of game is this? Rise Online is a theme park MMORPG that should remind players of old classics like Knight Online. It uses Unreal Engine 4 and can now be downloaded for free:

  • You create your hero from the classes Warrior, Mage, Thief, and Priest. Additionally, you choose from one of two factions, which applies to all your characters.
  • NPCs assign quests that you need to complete.
  • You must fight monsters to obtain better items and experience points.
  • There are various dungeons and a crafting system.
  • PvP takes place in special areas.
  • There are various mounts and pets.
  • You can join a guild.
  • There is localization in English and Turkish.

Since the end of 2021, there has been an integration of blockchain and cryptocurrency, through which you even have the chance to get Bitcoins as monster drops. However, the focus is on the Roco tokens. These can be used for trading on a special NFT marketplace or for purchases in the shop.

How did the game’s launch go? Rather uneventful. Hardly any MMO site reported on the launch of Rise Online. Even on its own reddit, things are somewhat stagnant.

However, there are some first impressions in the official forum. But they are mostly negative.

High potion costs, few mobs, and great hurdles for solo players

What is being criticized about Rise Online right now? The criticism starts with the entry into the game, as the first quests involve walking to various NPCs to buy potions, stones, wood, weapons, and armor, and then bringing them back to the first NPC.

The map is not very helpful, as it shows the mentioned NPCs in completely wrong locations. In the screenshot, for example, the bank NPC is to my left, but in reality, I have already passed him on the right a long time ago.

At least there is an auto-run function for the quests that helps you reach the correct NPCs.

Rise Online Map

Players who have been in Rise Online for a while complain mainly that the MMORPG gets boring very quickly.

  • The travel paths are long
  • There are too few enemies in the game
  • In general, the animations are said to be too static and uninteresting

The user Gensuke also complains in the forum about the high potion costs. The abilities consume a lot of mana and those who want to defeat the monsters in an acceptable time need mana potions. However, they are so expensive that you can’t make back the money through mob kills.

Additionally, there is criticism that from a certain level onward, you must constantly work in a group. While this is fine for many areas and is a core aspect of the game, solo players have nothing to do, says the user anil.

By the way, anyone who does not like equipment upgrades that can also fail should also stay away from Rise Online.

Rise Online ufwertung
Upgrades, apparently already at level +3, can fail and destroy the item.

How is the performance? There is also criticism for crashes and FPS drops. However, these are not unusual for a new MMORPG, but they make the overall picture of Rise Online a bit more negative.

Moreover, knowledge of Turkish is advantageous, as some content in the game has not been correctly translated into English. According to the forum, the opposite is also true, that English texts appear in the Turkish localization.

Premium buffs and XP scrolls, but for us, they are dirt cheap

How is the shop? Rise Online is free to play, but it relies on a shop. There, there is a premium buff that provides the following bonuses:

  • More experience points
  • More gold
  • Reduced costs for repair, teleportation, crafting, and upgrades
  • More inventory space
  • Free redistribution of skills
  • Premium mounts and pets

The shop also offers skins, potions, and scrolls that will instantly bring you to level 50 (the max level is 70) or give you additional stats for 1 hour.

The only good thing about the shop is the prices in Turkish Lira. So, the level boost costs only about 1.50 euros, the premium buff only 5 euros, mounts about 3 euros, and most skins about 6 euros.

The game targets old school fans, but even that is limited

Who should check out Rise Online? Rise Online does not aim to reinvent the MMORPG wheel but claims to cater to those who miss classic gaming experiences and want to relive such adventures like they did around 20 years ago. Examples from back then include titles like Metin or Knight Online.

However, these games have aged significantly worse than WoW Classic, EvE Online, or RuneScape. Pay2Win, clunky controls, and a model that favors hardcore players are core features of Knight Online and now also Rise Online.

New World reveals how the MMORPG is finally going to improve – With PvP arenas and dungeon finder

New World is getting a major update in May that focuses entirely on PvP. The highlight is the 3v3 arenas, but the outpost rush and the wars for settlements will also receive new rewards. In the new video, the developers also talked about the dungeon finder, server transfers, and shared interesting statistics.

How will PvP be revised? In May, the 3v3 arenas will finally be released. Additionally, the developers are introducing new rewards for PvP:

  • There will be a new reward track for PvP players. It fills up automatically when you participate in PvP activities.
  • Additionally, a new currency will be introduced: PvP Salt. This can be exchanged for various rewards.

You will receive these new rewards regardless of whether you participate in the outpost rush, wars for territories, the 3v3 arena, PvP faction missions, or the conquest of forts in the open world.

When is the patch coming? The PvP update is planned for May. There is no exact date yet. A new update focusing mainly on bug fixes and balance will be released in April.

PvP arenas will receive automatic match search and a fire ring

How exactly do the PvP arenas work? In the arenas, the goal is to eliminate the entire opposing team without losing all your players. To prevent the fights from lasting indefinitely, the arena is surrounded by a fire ring that continuously closes in, resulting in a showdown in a small area.

If you want to participate in the arena battles, you can sign up through the interface from anywhere in the world. There is no need to visit a specific NPC.

Registrations can be made alone or as a complete 3-person team.

You can gain insight into the developers’ statements in this video:

Dungeon Finder, server transfers, and crazy stats

What else was discussed in the video? At the beginning of the video, the developers talked about the April patch. They especially highlighted minor adjustments in the healing area and the new zoom function. When you are in settlements, the map will be automatically zoomed in when opened.

Furthermore, they talked about events, primarily the currently ongoing killer rabbit event. However, developer Phil Bolus indicated that after the end of the event (sometime in the last week of April), another event will follow.

Finally, the developers provided some additional insights:

  • Currently, a dungeon finder is being worked on.
  • Affordable server transfers will be coming.
  • Work is being done to allow full region transfers (from EU to NA West, for example).
  • The bow will be revised to allow for better gameplay flow.
  • Various stats were shared, such as 33,000 wars taking place and 8 million dungeons run. The toughest opponent in the game is Captain Thorpe from the dungeon Depths. He caused the most player deaths. Overall, there have been over 413 million player deaths in New World.

How exactly does the dungeon finder work? For this, you can walk to the entrance of a dungeon and create a group search there or join a group.

In the group search, you can specify exactly how many tanks, healers, or damage dealers you want for the group. Additionally, the attribute distribution and weapon proficiency of the players are visible to verify if they can fulfill their role.

The dungeon finder is planned for summer, along with another dungeon and new events. You can find more about it in the roadmap:

New World finally shows the roadmap for 2022 – Bringing PvP arenas this spring.

What do you think about the updates? Do you like the adjustments to PvP and the upcoming dungeon finder?

In a new shooter hit on Steam, you must behave particularly stupidly to avoid getting shot

Just Act Natural is currently emerging as a new hidden gem on Steam. This multiplayer shooter is partially free to play and resembles a mix of Fall Guys, Among Us, and Spy Party. MeinMMO tells you more.

The latest indie hidden gem on Steam is Just Act Natural, a game by indie developers Conor Garity and Liam Kerrigan. In this multiplayer shooter, the quirky clay figures are all handcrafted before being digitized for the game.

How does the game work? This crazy multiplayer game resembles a mix of Fall Guys, Among Us, and Spy Party. Up to 8 players gather in a match. One player looks over the entire map with a sniper rifle, while the others try to complete a task.

The twist: The sniper can see not only the real players but also a multitude of bots. The more foolish the real players behave, the less they stand out among the goofy bots – and the less likely they are to be shot by the sniper.

The German YouTubers Sterzik and Vlesk show you here how a round with 2 players can go:

Link to the YouTube content

Depending on the game mode, the task of the “hiders” varies.

  • In one game mode, players must stumble over a finish line first without being shot.
  • In another mode, players search for diamonds while the sniper is on the lookout for them.
  • Another game mode has no sniper at all; instead, you must eliminate each other like in the multiplayer of Assassin’s Creed.

Additionally, each player receives 3 power-ups to choose from at the beginning of a round. With these, you can gain a temporary advantage – or quickly blow your cover.

“Better than Among Us? Yes”

How is the game received? Since its release on March 25, the game has managed to find a real fanbase on Steam. Out of 1,182 reviews, 88% are positive. There are particularly many favorable comparisons to Among Us:

  • DOGCLOPS says in the reviews: “This is my favorite hiding game, it’s tons of fun with friends or in public lobbies.”
  • Another user says: “Better than Among Us? Yes, I think so. It requires a lot of skill.”
  • Yonkifer says: “This game is absolutely fantastic. Really fun concept, and I hope they make more maps and game modes.”

How much does the game cost? Just Act Natural is playable as a free-to-play title, although this limits your game modes. The premium version costs €6.59 and gives you 3 more maps, 3 more modes, and free updates with additional content in the future. The developers promise to bring new content every week.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands manages to make the most annoying fantasy cliché funny again

With a big dose of fantasy, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands has brought fresh wind to the Borderlands formula. At the same time, it takes the typical clichés to task – and precisely for this reason, it does not fall into an obvious trap, finds MeinMMO author Max Handwerk.

I love fantasy games. Really. But don’t you think that many things often feel very similar, especially at the start?

“Here you have your first rusty sword, a small fireball spell, and a flimsy leather armor. With that, you are perfectly equipped for the challenges that await you now! Terrible spiders! Nasty ghouls! And, of course: skeletons!”

Especially the good old bone men seem to stumble through every fantasy game I’ve ever played. Dust-dry, emotionless shells that mindlessly lurch at you, armed with sword and shield, only to end up as a lifeless pile of bones on the ground shortly after.

They have usually done their job as a light-hearted spooky introduction to the fantasy world of your choice.

Some skeletons want to welcome you into their club

Admittedly: In Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, the skeletons also have little to do with a challenge. They are just the typical fantasy enemy you encounter at the beginning of such a game.

But in the Wonderlands, the skeleton hordes have a secret weapon that makes our bony friends directly more interesting: an utterly over-the-top personality.

What fantasy worlds have always needed: motivated skeletons

As already mentioned: The skeletons in Wonderlands are not particularly strong or dangerous. But heavens, are they motivated to come at you. And they really let you know that loudly.

“You are already dead, you just don’t know it,” they roar at you, or “Every hero has a skeleton that wants to be revealed. Don’t worry – we’ll take care of that!”

That may sound more or less threatening, but you have to read it with a rather high, almost breaking voice – because the skeletons all have silly voices across the board. So it sounds more like a pubescent skeleton threatening you: “My ankle fits just perfectly on your ass bone!”

This fits with the crazy Borderlands humor, which is also unmistakably present in Wonderlands.

Start video

However, not all skeletons in the Wonderlands suffer from massive megalomania. Some prefer to crack jokes in the midst of battle, or become almost philosophical. It’s also nice when you hit the things with frost damage and they suddenly start shivering. Real attention to detail was paid here.

Almost tragic it becomes, however, when you send them to hell: “I still had so much planned in my non-life,” one skeleton complains. Or, my favorite: “Oh no, died. Again!”

From spooky captain to shivering ice block, the distance is often short

The skeletons are just one of many examples: When I first encountered the skeleton hordes, they hardly caught my attention. They’re just skeletons, which you expect in a fantasy game. But when they started rambling, I found myself smiling time and again. Too bad, however, that the voice lines get a little lost in the split-screen chaos.

Nevertheless: Wonderlands has managed to take a rather “boring” fantasy cliché and turn it into a fun, unique thing.

And thus, Wonderlands deals with all sorts of fantasy or tabletop clichés thrown at you. Time and again, details stand out that bring a small grin to your face – and it’s a lot of fun to keep finding more of them.

What do you think? Have you already ventured into the Wonderlands? What were your favorite moments in the game? Tell us in the comments.

And of course, there are also plenty of allusions and gags with the weapons. A good example: The Pan of Unbeatable.

ARK: 5 of the most extraordinary ways to tame a creature

ARK: Survival Evolved offers a variety of fascinating creatures. Many of these are of prehistoric origin, while others are fantasy beings. MeinMMO shows you 5 of these fascinating beings that you can tame or breed in curious ways.

ARK has some very extraordinary creatures, and some of them have very unusual ways of being tamed. We want to show you 5 of the most extraordinary methods to tame a creature.

What is taming in ARK? In ARK, it is possible to utilize creatures for farming, fighting, or other ventures. For this to work, they must be tamed by you.

There are 2 normal taming methods in the game: the knockout tame and the passive tame.

Start video
Everything you need to know about the survival game ARK: Survival Evolved

What is knockout tame? The knockout or K.O. method is an aggressive and active way of taming. You stun the creature with a bow, a rifle, or other comparably useful tools.

When the creature is stunned, feed it its preferred food (for example, raw meat or vegetables and berries). The taming progress increases the more the creature eats. Make sure there is a sufficient amount of food in the creature’s inventory and that the stun state is maintained.

What is passive tame? Passive taming occurs without stunning. You place the creature’s preferred food in the last item quick-access slot, approach the animal, and press the displayed interaction button to feed it.

Repeat the process until the taming is successfully completed. Some creatures only eat very specific food and exhibit special behaviors during taming.

But besides the two methods, there are also some other curious ways to tame creatures in ARK. Here are the 5 most extraordinary:

1. Chalicotherium – The Alcoholic Horse Creature

What distinguishes the Chalicotherium? Chalicotheriums are herbivores. If you want to tame one, you need a special drink instead of berries or vegetables, which you must brew beforehand: beer.

Chalicotheriums are passively tamed and cannot be fed with the usual food of an herbivore; they specifically want only beer.

ARK: Survival Evolved Chalicotherium
The Chalicotherium in ARK: Survival Evolved loves a good, cold beer

2. Karkinos – Knockout via Catapult

What is the Karkinos? A Karkinos is a very large crab. It can grab you with its claws and even pull you off riding animals. The Karkinos was introduced into the game with the Aberration DLC.

How do I tame a Karkinos? To tame the Karkinos, you must shoot it with a catapult. A shot to the crab’s back fills the stun bar. When this is full, the Karkinos becomes unconscious. You can then feed and tame it.

If you hit the Karkinos at another spot than its back, it takes damage and does not receive the stun effect. The challenge is not to accidentally kill the animal in the process.

ARK: Survival Evolved Karkinos
The Karkinos lives near waters and rivers

3. Tusoteuthis – Feeding Giant Squids by Hand

What is the Tusoteuthis? The Tusoteuthis is a giant and extremely dangerous squid. It can grab you with its tentacles and pull you into the depths of the ocean.

How is the Tusoteuthis tamed? Despite its aggressive nature, the Tusoteuthis is passively tamed. To do this, you need to get close to it and feed it by hand. The Tusoteuthis only eats the rare and heavy black pearls.

You need to approach the mouth of the squid and then feed the monster using the action button. The Tusoteuthis only eats when you grab its attention. For this, it must be aggressive towards you, which complicates things.

The Bait Method: To ensure successful feeding, players have established the “bait method.” Here, you take a Carbonemys (turtle) as bait.

If everything goes according to plan, the Tusoteuthis will attack the turtle. If this happens, you can safely swim to the mouth of the squid and feed it.

ARK: Survival Evolved Tusoteuthis
The Tusoteuthis is one of the most dangerous creatures in the depths of the ocean

4. Bloodstalker – The Vampire Among Creatures

What is the Bloodstalker? The Bloodstalker is an oversized spider-like creature that was introduced into the game with Genesis. The Bloodstalker is passively tamed and requires your blood to gain taming progress.

When you are within range of the Bloodstalker, it will pull you toward it with its webs. Then, the Bloodstalker will suck your blood. During this time, the creature’s taming progress increases.

How do I get enough blood for taming? Since the Bloodstalker requires a large amount of blood for a complete and successful taming, you need to have blood bags in your inventory.

You obtain these by draining blood from yourself or your sleeping friends with a blood transfusion kit. Once you have enough blood bags in your inventory, allow the Bloodstalker to grab you. It will then suck the blood from the bags and can be tamed.

Increasing the Effectiveness of Taming: If you only let the blood be drained, the tamed animal will have a very low effectiveness. Effectiveness determines how many levels the creature gains on its successful taming above its original level.

For other creatures, effectiveness starts at 100% and decreases over time as well as with damage taken during taming. For the Bloodstalker, you must first increase the base low effectiveness by letting the Bloodstalker kill creatures that you have tamed or bred.

This is suitable for shoulder creatures like the Jerboa or Bulbdog, but also larger creatures like the Parasaur, Ovis, or Raptor. It is important that the creature you use is small enough for the Bloodstalker to grab and pull toward itself.

ARK: Survival Evolved Bloodstalker
The Bloodstalkers were introduced into the game with Genesis Part 1

5. Reaper King – The Different Kind of Pregnancy

What distinguishes the Reaper King? The Reapers are extremely aggressive and dangerous creatures that were introduced into the game with the Aberration DLC.

To obtain a Reaper King, you must perform some extraordinary steps, which include being impregnated by a Reaper Queen. The Reaper cannot be tamed or bred in the usual way.

Step 1: The Impregnation

First, you need to find a Reaper Queen and fight her. You must weaken her with a light source to bring her health below 2,000 HP.

Once the Reaper Queen is below 2,000 HP, she signals you with a reddish-pink pheromone cloud that she is ready to mate. She will now try to grab and impregnate you with her tail. To make this happen, you must turn off the light source.

Once she has performed her impregnation attack on you, you are as good as dead and carry a Reaper embryo inside you. After the impregnation attack, the Reaper Queen literally buries herself in the ground and disappears.

ARK: Survival Evolved Reaper Queen
The Reaper Queen during the impregnation attack

Step 2: The Pregnancy

You are now pregnant with a Reaper embryo. This phase lasts about 12 hours at default settings. During this phase, the Reaper absorbs experience points that you collect.

This collected experience determines the effectiveness and results in your Reaper baby being able to be up to 75 levels higher than the Reaper Queen that impregnated you.

Step 3: The Bloody Birth and Rearing

After the pregnancy phase, the Reaper baby violently and bloodily bursts out of your chest in a larval form. Again, you survive this process only narrowly.

After the birth and during the larval stage, the Reaper baby is extremely aggressive. Additionally, it moves around at high speed and ignores your commands.

To imprint and feed the Reaper baby without being attacked or even killed by it, a Reaper pheromone gland is required. You must consume the pheromone gland obtained by killing a Reaper Queen. This will result in the Reaper larva behaving peacefully towards you.

Once the baby has reached a certain growth progress, the larva buries itself in the ground and remains submerged for a short time. It then digs itself out of the ground and appears. Now the Reaper has shed its juvenile larval form and taken on the form of the larger adult.

ARK: Survival Evolved has built up an impressive selection of different creatures over the years, along with increasingly creative taming and breeding methods.

Crazy Twitch streamer challenges the best LoL players in the world – Leaves position up to chance

Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp is probably the craziest streamer in League of Legends. After completing a crazy challenge in recent years, he now wants to reach the Challenger rank in Korea. He will let chance decide his position.

What is this challenge about? In his new project, Tyler1 wants to achieve the rank Challenger in Korea. Only the top 300 players in Korea can achieve that. This alone is already a huge challenge, as Korea is considered the strongest region in LoL.

However, he has imposed another handicap on himself. While most Challenger players are particularly strong in one position and have mastered it to the highest level, Tyler1 wants to let chance decide which role he plays – and that in every single match.

That’s why he will always register as a “filler”. He will only know which role he gets in the champion selection.

When does the challenge start? It starts at the end of April when Tyler1 travels to Korea. He will stay there for 30 days, which makes this challenge even crazier. He is traveling to Korea with a friend but will only play SoloQ.

Tyler1 started as a one-trick pony, now reaches Challenger in every position in America

Can he really achieve this? Tyler1 has great ambition and pursues his goals consistently:

The Twitch streamer has now mastered every position in LoL and has also gained experience with SoloQ in Korea. Since he plays and streams LoL almost daily, he has completed a huge number of matches.

Nevertheless, this challenge will not be easy to master, especially since he has only 30 days.

Has anyone done this before him? That’s not entirely clear. There are Challenger players who deliberately choose the fill position. However, none of them claims to have played randomly from 0 to Challenger.

However, there are also players who have reached Challenger on all 5 positions, including the Swede Carl Felix “MagiFelix” Boström.

If anyone wants to see some of Tyler1’s successes, here’s an interesting compilation by YouTuber Brendon Sims:

Renowned coach says: Even Gold players will give Tyler1 problems

Who has commented on the challenge? Nick “LS” de Cesare is considered one of the smartest coaches in League of Legends. He trained teams in Korea for many years. However, he believes that Tyler1 will not succeed in the challenge (via YouTube):

I don’t think Tyler will succeed. I don’t know how long he will stay. The thing is, Tyler has risen because he is smarter than the NA players and also has a favorable ping. The problem in Korea is that Silver and Gold players have better game mechanics than he is used to in his average games. They are still dumb, but they are mechanically better.

Do you believe in Tyler1’s ability to complete this challenge, or is LS right in his assessment? Will you watch the spectacle or do you prefer other favorite streamers for LoL?

One of the most interesting developments is currently taking place in the LoL leagues below the LEC. Interest in these regional leagues has significantly increased this year:

Fusion Pro Controller for Nintendo Switch in the test – Is it worth 107 €?

There are various different controllers for the Nintendo Switch. Mein-MMO author Lena has tested one for you: the wireless Fusion Pro controller from PowerA. It costs around 107€.

What kind of controller is this? The Fusion Pro is considered an alternative to the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons or the Pro Controller. It is also officially licensed and currently costs 107.77 Euros. Therefore, it is in the higher price range.

What can the controller do?

  • It can be operated both wired and wirelessly. A switch on the controller toggles between the modes.
  • The controller comes with a “Pro Pack” that allows you to map 4 existing buttons to the buttons of the Pro Pack.
  • The top shell can easily be changed between black and white designs.
  • Both joystick caps are interchangeable.
  • It has a 3.5 mm jack socket.

What can the controller not do?

  • It does not have a rumble function.
  • The controller cannot scan Amiibos.
  • The button mapping cannot be changed in the Nintendo Switch settings.
  • The Nintendo Switch does not display the controller’s battery level.

PowerA provided me with the “Fusion Pro” controller for testing, and I will tell you whether the price of 107.77 Euros is worth it.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

“Fusion Pro” Controller in Test Against the Pro Controller

I will introduce you to the PowerA gamepad in more detail. I will be comparing it repeatedly with Nintendo’s own Pro Controller. So it’s 59.99 Euros vs. 107.77 Euros. I will address the following aspects:

In the end, I will tell you whether I will set aside my old Pro Controller and switch to the Fusion Pro in the future.

Contents of the Package

What can you expect in the package?

  • The controller itself.
  • A case with a sturdy surface.
  • A cable to charge the controller or to operate it with.
  • 4 joystick caps.
  • 2 shells for the top of the controller.
  • The Pro Pack.
  • User manual.
Contents of the Fusion Pro Controller from PowerA
All parts fit into the provided case.

Handling + Design

How easy is it to switch shells and joysticks? I was positively surprised: pretty easy. The controller has a small notch that makes changing the shells uncomplicated. They do not get stuck and hold securely with the help of several small magnets.

The joysticks can also be easily replaced. With a small pull, you remove the caps and can’t really go wrong, as all joystick caps fit into both intended slots.

However, it should be noted that 2 of the supplied joystick caps are taller than the other two. For people with larger fingers, the additional length could provide a positive advantage. Since I have quite small hands and short fingers, I found the taller joystick caps less effective. The lower caps of the Fusion Pros were more advantageous for me.

Both controllers compared.

How to attach the Pro Pad? Also very easy. With the help of a push button, you can easily attach and remove the Pro Pad. Additionally, there is a small cover in case you don’t want to use the Pro Pad, but you don’t want to leave the back of the controller open.

How is the design? Well, that’s always a matter of taste, but the Fusion Pro does not look significantly different from the Pro Controller. I should mention that I only own the Smash version of the Pro Controller; normally it is just black-gray and has no white elements.

I like the design, both in the black and in the white version.

Configuration of the Pro Pack

How does the Pro Pack work? Once you have attached the Pro Pack to the back of the controller, it is ready to go, and you can assign existing buttons to the additional 4 buttons – they reminded me a bit of spider legs.

To configure the spider legs, you need to hold the button on the back of the gamepad for a few seconds. Then a small light will illuminate in front.

Then you press an existing button and then the spider leg that should remember the button. For example, I took the X button to assign it to the upper right button of the Pro Pack. The buttons can be reassigned anytime and also in-game.

Does the controller remember the configuration? Yes, it does. Even if you turn off the Switch along with the controller and then turn it back on, the configuration you made will remain. Even if you play on another Nintendo Switch.

What is missing? You cannot reassign the buttons in the Nintendo Switch settings. So if you have your own profile for your buttons, you cannot apply that with the Fusion Pro.

Practical Test

How did I test? First, I tested how the controller feels, how the buttons and joysticks respond, outside of games. After that, I tested in the racing game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the indie game The Binding of Isaac, and the platformer Super Meat Boy, how it feels to play with the Fusion Pro compared to the Pro Controller.

How does the controller feel in hand? Very good, although I have small hands and prefer smaller controllers. The rubber coating on the back of the Fusion Pro additionally ensures that I have a secure grip.

The Pro Controller from Nintendo is at a significant disadvantage, as it is only made of plastic. During longer gaming sessions, it tends to slip from my grip, especially during heated Mario Kart battles.

How are the joysticks? However, I prefer the joysticks of the basic Pro Controller. They are completely covered with non-slip rubber, while the Fusion Pro only has ribbed rubber on the edge and is relatively smooth on the surface.

Since I tend to place my thumb completely on the joystick and do not steer from the edge, I slipped a few times and had to get used to a different control method.

How are the buttons? All buttons have a high-quality feel and offer more resistance when pressed than on the standard Pro Controller, which I really like. I felt I had more control.

This is how it went in-game: First, I raced several cups in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. In doing so, I had to get used to the other joystick, but especially one thing came into play: the Pro Pack. Knowing that I struggled to reach the X button in Mario Kart, I utilized one of the spider legs and assigned the X button to it.

With the X button, you look behind you in Mario Kart. An important feature to annoy opponents behind you with shells or bananas. With my normal Pro Controller, I practically never used this feature, as I was otherwise unable to accelerate properly while braking.

The Pro Pack was incredibly helpful in Mario Kart, but not at all in Super Meat Boy or The Binding of Isaac. In those games, I could reach all the important buttons and didn’t need the Pro Pack at all.

However, in Super Meat Boy, I felt I could jump better and more controlled due to the increased button resistance. It was significantly easier for me to make smaller jumps than with the Pro Controller, whose buttons bottomed out quickly.

In regular, relaxed games, the Fusion Pro made no difference compared to the Pro Controller.

What was negative? Especially in rumble-intensive games like Mario Kart or The Binding of Isaac, I really missed the rumble, as I was accustomed to that from the Pro Controller. It gave me an additional indicator when I slightly went off track or got hit.

Rumble just makes you feel more part of the game. Other than that, I had recurring issues with the joystick that I just couldn’t get used to. Maybe it just takes more time since I’ve been using the stick in a certain way for over 20 years.

Since I didn’t need or want to scan Amiibos, I didn’t miss that feature. However, it can be considered a downside if you don’t want to rush to your Joy-Cons to quickly scan the figures.

Furthermore, I couldn’t check the battery level of the controller. The Switch does not display that. Although it does notify you when the battery is almost empty. However, I like to check how the battery is doing in between – especially if I plan to leave the house and take the Switch along with the controller.

All Important Pros and Cons Summarized

Pros
  • Easy handling
  • Additional control option through the Pro Pack
  • Buttons and joysticks respond well, precisely, and without delay
  • Additional grip due to the rubber coating on the handles
  • Battery lasts as promised: about 20 hours
  • Jack connection is practical when you prefer to listen through headphones
Cons
  • No rumble and Amiibo function
  • Joysticks are slippery, too smooth on the surface
  • Battery level not visible
  • Pro Pack could be in the way or annoying for larger hands

Conclusion on the “Fusion Pro” Controller

Will I set aside the Pro Controller?

Probably for certain games. Especially when it comes to precise control, the Fusion Pro has left a positive impression on me with the different button pressure. I noticed a significant difference in Super Meat Boy. However, for easy games like Pokémon or The Binding of Isaac, the Pro Controller is definitely sufficient for me. In Mario Kart, I am in a dilemma because I really missed the rumble, but the Pro Pack was incredibly useful. A mix of the Pro Controller and the Fusion Pro would be perfect. However, if I had to decide: Since I play more relaxed games, I would not spend the 107.77 Euros and would stick with the basic Pro Controller.

The most popular mod for Elden Ring gives you the easy mode that many fans radically reject

As with many open-world RPGs, there is also a mod scene for Elden Ring. However, the most popular mod for the game is quite controversial: a homemade Easy Mode. MeinMMO tells you more.

The website Nexus Mods is primarily associated with other open-world RPGs like Skyrim or Fallout. However, players can also find a variety of mods and tweaks for Elden Ring on this site that allow you to customize your gameplay as needed.

On Nexus Mods, players can download gameplay modifications for free that have been created by other fans. These mods can enhance graphics, fine-tune balancing, or introduce entirely new mechanics and items into the game.

The most popular mod for Elden Ring promises the radical change that many players wish for, but hardcore fans believe is impossible: an Easy Mode.

Mod for “Easy Mode” comes in 3 versions

How does this mod work? The mod “Easy Mode for Elden Ring” by user odashikonbu states that it has only one goal: to make “the game easier for frustrated players.”

There are 3 versions of the mod:

  • Version 1 – Only damage adjustments:
    • The player takes 50% less damage.
    • You deal 25% more damage.
    • Your attacks have double damage radius.
    • Health and mana potions are twice as effective.
  • Version 2 – Damage adjustments and 10x runes:
    • All adjustments from Version 1.
    • Additionally, players receive 10 times the runes.
    • Weapon upgrades only require one smithing stone.
  • Version 3 – Personal adjustments:

No matter which version of the Easy Mode you choose, you will have to forgo one important thing: the multiplayer of Elden Ring.

For a mod to work, the game must be started on Steam without anti-cheat – which in turn automatically disables multiplayer completely.

How popular is the mod? Currently, this Easy Mode mod is the most popular download for Elden Ring on Nexus Mods. It has been downloaded over 50,000 times.

Due to the topic, this mod is also discussed controversially. In 500 comments on the Easy Mode mod, a well-known question is being discussed again: Should a game like Elden Ring even have an Easy Mode?

“I believe I’m still getting the right Dark Souls experience”

The debate surrounding the difficulty level of Elden Ring is a heated and long-standing one. Since Demon’s Souls, the first FromSoftware game of this type, the community has been arguing about the accessibility of these games.

We also asked you about this topic – with a clear answer. In our survey, nearly 3 out of 4 MeinMMO users opposed an Easy Mode:

In the comments on Nexus Mods, the discussions are also very heated. A notable back-and-forth can be seen between supporters and those who radically oppose such changes.

User rykentharr thanks the creator of the mod:

Thank you very much for this mod. It has saved me an enormous amount of grind, stress, and frustration. […] I have already played through the game twice without mods and was completely destroyed mentally. This mod has made my third playthrough so much more bearable.

User NaraApricots also writes:

Thank you for this! I am a total newbie who has never played a game that requires dodging as a key component of the game, so this saves me a lot of trouble and I can slowly get used to dodging.

I still die a little, and I was thrilled when I defeated Godrick. So I believe I’m still getting the right “Dark Souls” experience.

However, another user responds: “You are lying to yourself, but that’s okay”.

Overall, there is a lot of rejection for this mod. AFlyingWilly101 states:

git gud, holding hands like a baby is not how you should play the game. You can honestly make it so much easier for yourself if you just play the game and explore the world a bit lmao.

What do you think of this mod? Do you find it appropriate, or does it contradict the “philosophy” of the Souls games? Do you believe that users of this mod still have the “true” gaming experience? Let us know in the comments.

MeinMMO author Christos Tsogos recently introduced another type of “Easy Mode” – his incredibly powerful mage build:

Diablo 3: Your favorite classes for Season 26 from most popular to least popular

In Diablo 3 Season 26 is now active and we asked you which class you are playing. You voted diligently and now determined the winners and losers.

What’s going on in Diablo 3? On Friday, April 15, the new Season 26 in Diablo 3 started. With the endgame mode Echoing Nightmare, the new chapter offers you content worth exploring with the different classes.

As with every season, players wonder which class to choose. We will show you which class you absolutely want to play in S26.

The most popular classes in Season 26

This was the survey: Here on MeinMMO, we asked you which class you will play in S26. You could cast a total of one vote for one of the seven classes in Diablo 3.

This is how you voted: On April 16 at 09:25, 3,114 people had already participated in the voting. We show you the results:

  1. Demon Hunter with 1,060 votes, about 34%
  2. Monk with 690 votes, about 22%
  3. Barbarian with 392 votes, about 13%
  4. Wizard with 320 votes, about 10%
  5. Necromancer with 249 votes, about 8%
  6. Witch Doctor with 217 votes, about 7%
  7. Crusader with 186 votes, about 6%

Especially the Demon Hunter class has captured your attention in Season 26. In the tier list, it has the marauder’s sentry build in S-tier. The advantage is that the marauder set is given directly as a starter set from Haedrig.

In your voting, the Crusader found itself in last place. This class also has an S-tier build with the Aegis of Valor, but it doesn’t seem interesting enough for you. By far, the Demon Hunter is in first place on your ranking list.

Do you stick with one class in Diablo 3 from start to finish of a season or do you switch around? You can see the winners and losers of the leaderboard from Season 25 here.
