Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 3 minutes

On Steam, United Assault – Battle of the Bulge is now available for just 8 euros in Early Access. The title from the German developer Polygon Art is a WWII shooter. It already offers a campaign and promises a multiplayer and cooperative mode for the future.

What kind of game is this? United Assault – Battle of the Bulge is a first-person shooter set in World War II, released on April 7, 2022, on Steam and is also set to be released on Xbox and PlayStation.

You infiltrate enemy territory as a British soldier, traversing the open world in search of a secret German V2 factory in the Ardennes, Northern France.

United Assault belongs to the rogue-lite genre. If you fail on your mission, you lose everything and must start over. Battle of the Bulge is the successor to United Assault – Normandy ’44.

What features does the game include? The Steam store page of United Assault – Battle of the Bulge lists the following features:

  • A detailed open world based on the real location in the Ardennes

Planned Updates: Multiplayer & Coop

What content is still planned? After the particularly well-known YouTuber Ranzratte from the Battlefield community published a video about the game, the founder of Polygon Art commented under the video detailing his plans for the game.

There, he mainly spoke about the fact that both a multiplayer and a coop mode will come. Furthermore, he has announced the first content update for United Assault – Battle of the Bulge for the current 15th calendar week of 2022.

Polygon Art also emphasized that he is developing the game alone and therefore needs a lot of time for some things and depends on feedback.

Yes, the AI is not quite finished yet. However, a patch has already been released that further improves it. I’m developing the game alone, so some things just take a bit of time and especially a lot of feedback! And yes, a multiplayer + coop will come! This week will already bring Content Update 1!

What is the development status? United Assault – Battle of the Bulge is currently listed on Steam as an “Early Access” title. Therefore, the game is still in the development phase, and a full release is still pending. 

The store page of the game on Steam also states that it is still in alpha status. It is playable, but planned content is still missing, and it currently still has bugs and unfinished features.

The first reviews on Steam are positive

United Assault – Battle of the Bulge currently has nine reviews on Steam, of which seven are positive. MeinMMO shows you three of the reviews that received the most approval.

  • OldLu via Steam: “I don’t regret the purchase and will continue to support him (Note by the editor: the developer).”
  • Jodaikensi38 via Steam: “Highly recommended for single-player players or WWII fans. You’ll enjoy the accurate weapon models and the snowy winter map. It’s still a bit buggy as it is in early access, but it’s worth playing anyway.”
  • Naxar via Steam: “Nice game for a bit of fun. Let’s see what else comes in the future.”

If you’re interested in more shooters

With United Assault – Battle of the Bulge, the German development studio Polygon Art is facing strong competition in the shooter genre. The setting of World War II has frequently been chosen as the backdrop for several shooters.

A prominent representative of the setting, alongside Call of Duty: Vanguard and Battlefield V, is the game Enlisted. It impressed in 2021 with an innovative gameplay concept. Do you expect United Assault – Battle of the Bulge to achieve similar success when it’s finished?

On April 10, sennyk4 held a Twitch stream where he started a challenge for his viewers. As a prize, a subscription to his channel was at stake.

Who is the streamer? sennyk4 is an emerging Twitch streamer who was only able to enter into a partnership with Twitch in March of this year. He often collaborates with well-known streamers like Mizkif, Emiru, or Sodapoppin.

What was the challenge about? The challenge was to make sennyk4 laugh. Various viewers were invited to a Discord call, each taking turns. If they succeeded in making the streamer laugh, he would gift them a subscription on Twitch.

One viewer, “L00nyLouie,” was about to tell a joke, starting with “Two nuns were riding bicycles…” while sennyk4 seemed to be bored; however, suddenly Louie’s mother burst into the call: “Are you still on that damn computer?!” it echoed into the microphone out of nowhere.

What happened next? Some viewers said that the mother’s appearance must have been planned. “Whether it was staged or not, I don’t care. (…) He literally brought his mother in, that was – ” sennyk4 commented, laughing and applauding (via Twitch).

CoD Warzone: Bunker Code for Golden Vault – How to Secure Top Loot Now

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone there are now three Golden Vaults. When you open the vaults, you receive high-tier loot. MeinMMO tells you what you need to do to crack the Easter egg.

What are Golden Vaults? Golden Vaults are vaults that promise high-tier loot when you open them in CoD Warzone on Rebirth Island. There are a total of three on the map.

When you open the golden vaults, you receive high-ranking loot, such as weapons, armor, perks, and killstreaks with legendary rarity.

How do I open the Golden Vaults? To open the Golden Vaults on Rebirth Island, you need to follow some steps:

  • find 6 TV remotes with a red light in toilets in the prison block
  • press your interaction button at each remote to turn off the light
  • find the ringing phone in the middle of the prison block
  • listen to the code provided by the voice on the phone
  • go to one of the three golden vaults on Rebirth Island and enter the code

The Twitter channel @ModernWarzone also shows you a helpful video where you can see the individual steps in practice.

Finding Golden Vaults on Rebirth – Where are they on the Map?

For the Golden Vaults in Warzone, there are three locations on Rebirth Island. The first vault is located between the docks and the Bioweapon Labs on the northwest coast of the island.

You will find the second vault on Rebirth Island below the Factory.

The third and final Golden Vault is at the cliff wall between the Stronghold and the Living Quarters.

Warzone Rebirth Island Golden Vaults Locations
Warzone Rebirth Island Golden Vault: The three locations

Developers respond to vault glitch: Opening the vaults requires several steps and therefore takes time. This is generally limited in Warzone due to enemy players.

Some players, however, found a way to unfairly snag the loot without having to perform the necessary steps. They used vehicles, which the developers have now banned.

Everything about the glitch and how it worked can be read on MeinMMO: CoD Warzone disables all vehicles on Rebirth Island.

If you are interested in more about Call of Duty :

The Golden Vaults provide players with a good opportunity to obtain high-quality loot in an extraordinary way. But to open them, you need to follow very specific steps.

Do you think it is possible to open the vaults without instructions, or are the steps to be performed too specific to be discovered in normal gameplay with enemy players?

Destiny 2: Oath of the Scholar – How to Master the 2nd Raid Challenge ‘Basic Information’

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 there are new challenges in the current raid “The Oath of the Student”. We explain what this is and especially how to master the challenge “Basic Information”.

What is a raid challenge? All raids in Destiny 2 are a demanding group activity and are therefore part of the endgame. Players face tricky puzzles together in raids, overcome jumping passages, and ultimately defeat the toughest bosses, who then drop prestigious weapons and armor.

For those who find this not enough, they can also face a so-called challenge in a raid. While they still involve the classic raid mechanics, they also restrict certain play styles, requiring players to often adjust their team tactics to master them.

All challenges usually take place in a specific raid encounter or phase. In the raid “Oath of the Student” there are a total of four such encounters – the jumping passages are excluded.

destiny2-symbole.schwur-des-schuelers-witchqueen-raid
Symbols are important in the new raid

How to succeed in the challenge “Basic Information”

This is the second encounter: The raid challenge “Basic Information” takes place in the second phase of the Witch Queen raid “The Oath of the Student” during the so-called “Caretaker,” as the community affectionately calls it. Officially, however, this is the encounter of the Caretakers.

Previously, you had to pick up specific bounties from Hawthorne, but that has changed. The challenge is automatically active at the start of the raid. You will see the relevant information at the bottom left when you start the raid.

To specifically complete the challenge “Basic Information,” you may only collect and redeem one symbol for the obelisks. If you fail to do so, you will receive the notification “Challenge Failed.” To try again, you can simply die to restart the encounter.

To give you a visual idea of how to succeed and proceed with the challenge “Basic Information,” we recommend the video from IPhiniX.

This is how to get your extra loot

Tips for the Challenge

The challenge can be easily mastered if two runners take turns entering the room with the symbols. Like in a relay race, you alternate, pick up a symbol, and then redeem it at the obelisk. Always keep the door open for your partner so you don’t waste valuable time.

Also, keep in mind that you should ignore every enemy in the room with the symbols. They are only there to slow you down and ensure that you get overwhelmed by the Darkness faster.

Since there is no limit to how many symbols a player can pick up per rotation, the only restricting factor is that you can only carry one symbol at a time. For this reason, it’s good to send as many people as possible into the dark room to quickly delete the symbols.

Maybe you’re also interested in Destiny 2:

What do you get as a reward? If you successfully master the challenge, there is bonus loot. In addition to the standard chest at the end of the encounter, another chest will appear after a short time. This chest also contains top-tier gear. So it’s worth the effort.

Since each encounter provides you with special loot, this means that for this challenge, you can either get the “Resonance Fury” helmet, the gauntlets, or a class item, or the submachine gun “Submission,” the grenade launcher “Dissent,” as well as the linear fusion rifle “Catastrophic” and the pulse rifle “Insidious”.

Player accidentally discovers Pay2Win emote in Fortnite – „I clicked wrong“

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite has a large collection of emotes that is expanded with each season. However, some are considered so unfair that they are labeled as Pay2Win and even adjusted by Epic Games. A player has now discovered a new emote that allows you to dodge bullets.

What is this emote? This is the emote “Board Flair” from the icons series of “Chloe Kim”. When using the emote, your skin performs a backflip with the snowboard and then poses with a peace sign towards the spectators.

A player, however, published a clip on reddit where he accidentally used the emote in combat. This not only secured him an “Epic Victory,” but also allowed him to show off.

Dodge with cool moves and win

The reddit user Ryzii_Mode-_- published his video and asked the community whether the item shop sells emotes that do not provide in-game advantages. We have embedded his cool moves here:

Link to the Reddit content

The absurd thing is that the winner of the round did not intentionally use the emote. He accidentally stumbled upon the gesture selection in the heat of battle and chose his lifesaving moves from Chloe Kim.

What does the community say? Players on reddit are going crazy and cannot believe the insane stunt Ryzii_Mode-_- pulled off. They joke about the fight with comments like:

  • He then stopped playing the game and got back to his homework – Wabi-Sabibitch
  • Holy crap that was so sick and it’s even better that it happened by accident – Huqs
  • That was the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen in this game – Quantum_Helix

Have there been other incidents? This emote is not the only one that allows you to dodge bullets or gain an advantage in combat. In Chapter 1, Epic offered the emote “Deep Dab” for purchase.

Many players use this emote to dodge bullets while confusing and retaliating against opponents. After this incident, Epic introduced an emote cooldown that prevents you from immediately striking back after a gesture.

You can find more about Fortnite here:

But also in Chapter 3 Season 1, many use Spider-Man’s gesture to cling to ceilings, luring unsuspecting opponents into ambushes. This, however, was not nerfed and is still circulating.

What do you think about such emotes? Do you think it’s exaggerated that players see them as Pay2Win or do you not care, since you would have won a fight anyway? Do you also use such emotes to distract your enemies? Let us know in the comments!

Amazon Easter deals: Is the best-selling monitor on Amazon currently worth it?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

How good is a monitor for gaming that appears in the bestsellers on Amazon before Easter? MeinMMO took a look at the best-selling monitor on Amazon.

What are these bestsellers? The seller Amazon creates so-called “bestsellers” for various products and categories. These figures are based on the most orders and are updated hourly by Amazon. This allows for a good understanding of which products are currently highly regarded by potential customers.

A monitor from Huawei is currently a top bestseller on Amazon. MeinMMO explains to you why this device is not worth it for gamers.

A monitor from Huawei is currently a top seller on Amazon

What kind of device is this? The bestseller is the Huawei AD80HW or simply Display 23.8. This device is also the first monitor that the manufacturer Huawei has in its range. Until now, you would primarily know Huawei for smartphones and smaller gadgets like fitness trackers.

The screen relies on an IPS panel with low viewing angle dependence. A matte coating should ensure that you don’t have to deal with annoying reflections in sunlight. On the back, there is an HDMI and a VGA input, the monitor does not offer more.

What does the device cost? Currently, you pay 125 Euros for the Huawei AD80HW instead of 160 Euros. This is a saving of 21%. If you pay 6 Euros more (131 Euros), you even get a model with 75 Hz.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Huawei monitor not suitable for gaming

Why is the device unsuitable for gamers? The built-in IPS panel from Huawei only achieves 60 Hz. Especially in fast-action titles, the refresh rate would limit you. We would recommend gamers of fast shooters or action games a gaming monitor with at least 120 Hz. A YouTuber once tested whether a 144 Hz monitor makes gamers better shooter players.

Additionally, the monitor lacks an important gaming feature. The device offers neither Adaptive Sync nor FreeSync. Some testers explain that the response times are supposed to be quite sluggish (via pc-magazin.de). In practice, this means: With fast movements, there are ugly and uncomfortable streaks on the monitor.

The features of the Huawei AD80HW are also sparse. You get neither a USB hub, nor speakers, nor a headphone jack. The device also does not offer a Display connection.

Ukrainian Twitch stars stream the war for a Russian audience

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

As the war in Ukraine continues, some local Twitch stars remain online. They show their brutal everyday life in videos and images, mainly to their Russian audience. However, one of them had to flee and shares his experiences.

Despite the war, many Twitch streamers in Ukraine are still active. Vlad “lomaka” Lomakin was one of them before he had to flee with his family.

In an interview with Motherboard, the Ukrainian provided insights into his daily life as a Twitch streamer before his escape and how his colleagues are trying to enlighten Russian viewers.

Before his flight, Lomakin also shared videos and images from the war. He had around 93,000 subscribers, mostly believed to live in Russia. This gave them insights that they would not have seen due to local censorship.

Viewers react very positively – “Some people came and apologized”

Lomakin lived in Kharkiv, in Eastern Ukraine. The city has been under heavy bombardment by the Russian military for weeks, which is also mustering troops in the region. Therefore, he left the city and fled to his family in Dnipro, further west in Ukraine.

His pictures and videos until then documented the destruction of the city, which many now call a ruin. His young Russian viewers were very supportive.

These are the experiences of the streamer: According to Lomakin, most of his Russian viewers reacted in solidarity with the Ukrainians. The feedback has been predominantly empathetic.

“Luckily, my followers understand everything. They clearly see that this is a war, that civilians are dying, and many are forced to leave their homes. […] Many people in the chat apologized for the actions of their president [Putin, ed. note], even though they did not vote for him.

vice.com

The streamer believes that the Russian government has overlooked a gap with Twitch. While most social media in Russia have been taken offline, the streaming platform is still accessible without tools like VPNs.

YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook are just some examples of social networks that have been blocked in Russia.

The Twitch gap gives Ukrainian streamers the opportunity to convey the Ukrainian perspective and the consequences of the war to their Russian followers.

He and other streamers also published a video asking Twitch not to withdraw from Russia. Many Western companies have also withdrawn from the country without Russian prompting.

Through Twitch, there is a way to inform the young Russian audience about events outside their country without censorship or filtering by the Russian government.

Our expertise at MeinMMO relates to gaming. Those who want to learn more about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine are recommended to inform themselves on official sites or at news magazines:

– Ukraine live blog (via Zeit)
– War in Ukraine: Belarusian troops reportedly invaded Ukraine (via nzz)
– Solidarity with Ukraine (via auswärtiges-amt)

Important notice: If you are troubled by dark thoughts due to the current situation: You are not alone. Please seek help. For example, at the telephone counseling service at 0800/111 0 111 or the online counseling, where you can also use a chat. This is free and applies nationwide.

According to Vice, Ukrainian streamers have gained many additional followers since the beginning of the war. Most of them are reportedly Russian-speaking viewers.

Although more and more streamers have to go offline due to the war, the remaining ones stay active and continue. But not all Russian followers react positively to the accounts of the Ukrainian streamers.

At least that’s what Twitch streamer, former CS:GO champion, and Russian-speaking e-sports commentator ceh9 says: “That’s why the situation pains me. Many streamers from Ukraine cannot understand why their viewers from Russia don’t believe that planes are bombing their hometowns.”

ceh9 currently lives in Lviv. He was recently banned on Twitch for showing dead bodies in a stream, and someone reported it. His account was reinstated after he apologized, as it was an accident. He has around 700,000 followers.

Many now fear that Twitch could also be blocked in Russia soon.

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Scoppel and more XP

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there is a Spotlight Hour with Scoppel today, April 12. We show you everything about the start, Shinies, and bonuses of the event.

What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, a Spotlight Hour starts in Pokémon GO. For the duration of 60 minutes, a specific Pokémon is in focus, which the developers determine at the beginning of each month.

Today it’s all about the Pokémon Scoppel from the 6th generation. It brings a bonus that gives you more XP.

Spotlight Hour on April 12 with Scoppel – Content

When does it start? The Spotlight Hour starts today at the usual time at 6:00 PM local time. It will be active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.

What bonuses are there? During the event, you will find Scoppel almost everywhere in the wild. The Pokémon will also be attracted if you activate incense during the event time.

In addition, there is a bonus for evolving. For evolving Pokémon, you will receive double the amount of XP. This is especially worthwhile if you are still on the way from Level 41 to Level 50.

Can you catch Shiny Scoppel? Yes, Shiny Scoppel is in the game and with a bit of luck, you can catch one during the Spotlight Hour. However, the chances of finding a Shiny are not increased.

Shiny Scoppel Pokemon GO
Scoppel and Grebbit – In the bottom row, you can see the Shiny Pokémon

Is the Spotlight Hour today worth it?

Here’s how strong it will be: You can safely ignore Scoppel in PvP (against other trainers) and also in PvE (in raids). Its evolution, Grebbit, is quite strong in the Super League during trainer battles. With moves like Mud Shot and Earthquake, you have a really strong attacker.

However, Grebbit is not really worthwhile for raid battles and can be neglected.

More about Pokémon GO:

The Spotlight Hour today is interesting for all trainers who want to expand their PvP collection and need a strong attacker from the mid-tier for the Super League. If you have set aside a few Pokémon for evolving, you will get double experience points, which can also be worthwhile.

Will you participate in the Spotlight Hour today or skip the event? Let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.

Elden Ring from a new perspective thanks to special technique

The video shows: First, we see the entrance of the church of Elleh, right at the tutorial dungeon. We can see the game character in motion as he enters the church. There, we also see the merchant Kalé.

We also get to see the grace site, areas around the capital Leyndell, the massive stone bridge to the giants’ peak, and numerous other locations from the Lands Between.

Despite the perspective and filters, many exciting details are visible, and the game’s graphics fit surprisingly well. It also provides a brand new perspective on the level design by developer FromSoftware.

What technique does the creator use? 

  • In an interview with PCGamesN Kevin “Flurdeh” Hensen explains that he discovered the “Tilt Shift” technique back in 2015. In this technique, a part of the image is focused while the rest is blurred.
  • For cameras, there are special tilt lenses that bend the optical axis. This way, you can alter recordings as shown in the video.

Hensen explained back then in the interview:

A real tilt lens was too expensive for me. But around the same time, I started to get interested in virtual photography in games, and I tried to simulate that with screenshots. They didn’t look good at first, but over the years, I kept experimenting with different techniques. Eventually, I started making videos again, and when I wanted to try it out again, I thought: ‘Why not in video form?’

His tiny videos with tilt-shift were made for Red Dead Redemption 2, The Witcher 3, Days Gone, Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield 1, Skyrim, and many other titles.

This is how the video is commented: The commentators are overall excited. Many would love to play a game in this style themselves.

Others are reminded of the PS1 era, drawing comparisons with the old Resident Evil games. Others see parallels to newer games like Octopath Traveler or the Switch version of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

Second best player in CoD Vanguard explains after cheat scandal why he used wallhacks

Marko Jevtic Marko Jevtic Reading time 3 minutes

A Twitch streamer is ranked 2nd in the leaderboard of Call of Duty: Vanguard, then he gets caught using cheats. Now it is known how he explains his wallhacks, but the reason may not fully convince. MeinMMO tells you more.

In just 3 seconds, a Twitch streamer lost everything. pplehx is live on Twitch and is playing CoD Vanguard – the game where he ranks 2nd in the leaderboard.

Then he briefly has technical problems. For 3 seconds, his stream stutters. His capture program seems to lose orientation and doesn’t know what to film. The streamer complains about the stuttering, but his viewers see more than they should:

For 3 seconds, crystal clear wallhacks are visible in the stream. The viewers finally see what the player sees as well, namely red-outlined opponents, even through walls.

Here you can find all the details about this story:

3 seconds on Twitch destroy everything – The second best player in CoD Vanguard turns out to be a cheater
von Marko Jevtic

The new leaderboard mode in CoD Vanguard has a serious cheat scandal. The streamer then deletes his Twitter and Twitch accounts. However, images are circulating on social media showing how the cheater explains his wallhacks.

“I didn’t know how to turn them off again”

An image is circulating on Twitter from a Twitch chat. It shows the cheater pplehx reacting to a user.

pplehx apparently said that he only started using the wallhacks after he was already ranked 2nd. He was then asked why he needed cheats if he was already so high up.

The explanation raises eyebrows: “I used [the wallhacks] for the diamond camo and didn’t know how to turn them off again.”

The second-best player in the world is said to have used blatant wallhacks to help unlock weapon skins. Then he reportedly didn’t know how to turn the cheats off, and simply shrugged and accepted them.

This serious oversight was apparently well hidden by pplehx, as he never mentioned, explained, or asked for help regarding the “unintended” advantage before the fateful Twitch clip.

It has been noticed: In the clip showing the cheats, he doesn’t even use the diamond camo. His primary weapon even has the standard skin. Perhaps also because the diamond skins are not exactly pretty.

More about CoD:

For this explanation, pplehx is ridiculed on social media. FPS pro Ian “Enable” Wyatt doesn’t even need to explain why this excuse is ridiculous – he simply repeats it and garnishes the statement with 3 emoji:

In the meantime, the ranking in the game has been updated. Where pplehx was ranked 2nd yesterday, he has now completely disappeared:

CoD Vanguard Cheater away from place 2
pplehx no longer appears in the leaderboard.

The story of the wallhack user in the top 2 has generated a lot of discussion in the community. Some were shocked that someone so prominent could remain unnoticed for so long. Others, however, were not surprised at all – they even believe there could be more cheaters in the top 10.

Because the story of pplehx is not the only cheating incident in CoD Vanguard in recent weeks. One player even pointed a camera directly at his wallhacks:

Dog brings Amouranth through an adorable baby bunny – Stops her Twitch stream immediately to help

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

Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa is primarily known for her revealing and controversial content across all social media platforms. However, she recently did something good and interrupted one of her ASMR streams to help a little baby bunny that her dog “Bear” brought in.

While her Twitch colleagues believe that the streamer should even disappear permanently from the platform , Amouranth has now saved a baby bunny’s life.

On April 7, Amouranth held an ASMR stream where she licks microphones and makes other sounds intended to be relaxing for the viewer.

Meanwhile, her dog Bear found a completely beaten-up bunny and carried it in his mouth.

Siragusa immediately interrupted her stream, placed the little critter on a heating pad, and got some milk, she reported in a tweet:

How is the bunny doing now? On April 11, Amouranth posted an update on Twitter and wrote: “He’s eating solid food now and very cute.”

That little bunny was really lucky. It also shows how careful Bear must have been with it to carry it in his mouth without causing any injuries. Amouranth also called it a “miracle.”

The next WoW addon is coming: What do you definitely want to experience?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In a few days we will know how World of Warcraft will progress. But which features can save the game? What does WoW need to rock again?

For fans of World of Warcraft, a big day is approaching. On April 19, right after Easter, the future of Blizzard’s MMORPG will be revealed – in other words: The next expansion will be introduced. As usual, rumors have been circulating for weeks, and some promising leaks are going around that promise plenty of new features. Four new classes, housing, the abolition of the leveling phase – these and many other innovations are promised by the alleged leaks.

However, even though Blizzard accidentally leaked the (still unconfirmed) name of the expansion on their own website, there are still many unresolved details.

Opinions among players, however, are divided on what World of Warcraft urgently needs right now. For some, it’s the return of artifact weapons as in Legion, for others a more “grounded” story, which is supposed to have less Sylvanas, and others hope for major revisions to the combat system.

More about the future of World of Warcraft can be found here:

There are many opinions, and everyone thinks they know the one problem that World of Warcraft currently has and whose resolution would make the game much better.

That’s why we want to listen to the community and find out: What problems do you see, the readers of MeinMMO? What features does World of Warcraft absolutely need in the next addon to regain momentum?

We have prepared a list for you from which you can choose up to 3 features that would be particularly important to you.

If your point is not directly in the selection, please choose “Something else, namely …” and leave a comment under the article explaining what the next addon must definitely include.

Of course, you can also simply leave a comment and explain your choice – maybe your comment will then appear in a follow-up article.

CoD Warzone disables all vehicles on Rebirth Island – „I think we all know why“

Marko Jevtic Marko Jevtic Reading time 2 minutes

Developer Raven Software announced via tweet: In CoD Warzone all vehicles on Rebirth Island have been disabled. Although the developers did not provide reasons for this step, the community has a clear suspicion: the golden bunkers. MeinMMO reveals more.

Rebirth Island is probably the currently most popular map in CoD Warzone. Currently, you can only traverse it on foot.

As developer Raven Software announced in a tweet, all vehicles on Rebirth Island have been disabled. At 9:30 AM our time on April 11, it was stated: “We have temporarily disabled vehicles on Rebirth Island while we investigate an issue.”

The developers do not mention a reason for this step, but the community is quite sure they know the reason. “I think we all know what the issue is,” titles a reddit user.

This refers to the mysterious golden bunkers and a glitch that allows you to enter early.

Players have ruined surprise with vehicle glitch

Since the Mid-Season Update, there have been several secret bunkers on Rebirth Island. How you open 3 of them and grab the good loot inside is known.

However, there were also bunkers with a golden vault door that could not be easily opened. Initially, players had to complete a large community challenge and other secret steps before these golden doors would open.

But clever players have found a way to bypass all of that. Using vehicles, players literally force their way through the locked door to land inside the bunkers – and claim valuable loot.

As a result, players have not only prematurely destroyed a surprise. Those who exploit this glitch can quickly and easily obtain very powerful loot, giving them a huge advantage in the battle royale.

Even though Raven has not officially stated it: It is heavily assumed that this bunker glitch is the reason why vehicles were disabled.

When you can race in vehicles again across Rebirth Island is currently unknown. However, this step is unlikely to be a permanent solution.

Pokémon GO: 2 Researches in the Spring Event that are particularly worthwhile

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 4 minutes

In Pokémon GO the Spring Event starts today and brings you new quests and a new Collector Challenge. We at MeinMMO have taken a look at which tasks you can find in the game and which rewards are particularly worthwhile for you.

What tasks are involved? In Pokémon GO, around Easter there is a Spring Event under the name “Hop into Spring”. There will also be special field research tasks at PokéStops again. In addition, Niantic will unlock an additional Collector Challenge for you, which will bring you more rewards.

When does the Spring Event take place? The Spring Event runs from April 12, 2022 at 10:00 AM until April 18, 2022 at 8:00 PM local time.

Here are the 3 new quests for the Spring Event

As you know from other events, there will also be thematically appropriate research tasks for the Spring Event. In total, Niantic has provided you with 3 new quests.

How can you get the new quest? You can find the event research, as usual, by spinning the photo discs at PokéStops. Once you have spun the research, you can find it in the “Field” view in the game, which you can access by clicking on the binoculars.

The tasks are available at the stops throughout the entire event period. You have unlimited time to complete the tasks.

With the help of LeekDuck’s overview, we have summarized all tasks and rewards for you below (via leekduck.com). All monsters that you can also encounter in their shiny form are marked with a star (*).

TaskReward
Hatch an eggEncounter with
Pikachu (Flower Crown)*
Eevee (Flower Crown)*
Hatch 2 eggsEncounter with
Hapipor (Flower Crown)*
Hatch 4 eggsEncounter with
Chansey (Flower Crown)*

The Collector Challenge for the Spring Event

In addition to the new field research tasks, you can also find a Collector Challenge in Pokémon GO during the Spring Event. This will be displayed to you in the “Today” view and will be available to all players with the start of the event.

As you know from other Collector Challenges, you should also catch various monsters for this one. You need to look out for the following Pokémon to complete the task:

  • Scoppel
  • Nidoran female
  • Nidoran male
  • Pummeluff
  • Flurmel
  • Pikachu with Flower Crown
  • Eevee with Flower Crown
  • Hapipor with Flower Crown
  • Chansey with Flower Crown

Reward: If you have caught each of the mentioned Pokémon at least once, you will receive 2,000 experience points (XP), 2,000 Stardust, and an encounter with Togetic with Flower Crown* as a reward. In addition, you will receive a Collector Medal.

How long can you complete the task? The task will be available to you until the end of the Spring Event on April 18 at 8:00 PM local time. Until then, you can complete it and collect your rewards. Please note that your rewards will also expire after the end of the event if you do not claim them in time.

Which tasks are particularly worthwhile?

The tasks related to the new field research, as well as the Collector Challenge, should be relatively easy to complete during the event. According to Niantic, all mentioned Pokémon are supposed to spawn in the wild (via pokemongolive.com).

And the hatch distance has also been halved for quicker hatching. But which monster is particularly worthwhile? We will show you:

Togetic: The most worthwhile Pokémon is the Fairy and Flying-type Togetic from Generation 2. The monster will be found in the game for the first time with a Flower Crown, and additionally, with a bit of luck, you will even get it in its shiny form.

If you evolve Togetic into Togekiss, you will also benefit from one of the best Fairy attackers in Pokémon GO. Togekiss can shine in raids with solid stats and a strong moveset consisting of Charm and Dazzling Gleam.

And in the Master League, it is also among the top with its attacks Charm, Ancient Power, and Flamethrower (via pvpoke.com). You can also find Togetic in the wild during the event with a bit of luck. The Collector Challenge thus offers you another chance to secure a strong specimen.

Togekiss is particularly worthwhile as a strong attacker

Chansey: A Pokémon that you can find in the field research tasks is Chansey. The Normal-type Pokémon originates from Generation 1 and will also be found during the event with a Flower Crown. Just like Togetic, it will, however, spawn very rarely in the wild.

Even though Chansey is not particularly strong in attack and thus plays no significant role in raids or the GO Battle League, you should secure this monster. It can score points with enormous stamina, making it one of the best arena defenders in Pokémon GO.

Its evolution, Blissey, is even better. So if you’re still looking for a strong defender for your arenas, you should consider Chansey. With a bit of luck, you might even get a shiny specimen.

More about Pokémon GO:

Are the other Pokémon worthwhile?

Also, the other monsters are certainly not uninteresting for some players. For example, the costumed Eevee is especially worthwhile due to its numerous evolutions. And anyone who wants a costumed Lopunny in their Pokédex should secure Haspiror with a Flower Crown.

This will also be the first time with a Flower Crown in the game. However, you can also catch the costumed Pikachu, Eevee, and Haspiror more frequently in the wild.

What do you think of the research for the Spring Event? Which monster do you definitely want to secure from it? Or do you find all the rewards rather boring? Let us know in the comments.

With the start of the Spring Event, there will also be another research series in Pokémon GO for you. We will show you all tasks and rewards for the special research “Ula-Ula Adventure”.

MMORPG suffers from hacker attacks for weeks – Will be completely shut down a year after release

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

Warhammer: Odyssey was an MMORPG for Android and iOS that, however, did not include typical mobile elements such as autoplay. For several weeks, the game battled hacker attacks targeting its database. Since mid-March, it has been offline, and now it is clear: It will not return.

What is the attack about? On March 17, the developer Virtual Realms announced that the servers of the games Celtic Heroes and Warhammer: Odyssey were taken offline. The company cited a security breach as the reason.

The databases are said to have been hacked by one or more individuals. The complete code of the games was read and publicly leaked. Account data was not affected, as it was stored on the servers of Apple, Google, and Facebook.

Although Virtual Realms hired an external security company, it apparently did not bring the desired success. They have now announced via Discord that Warhammer: Odyssey will be completely shut down.

The developers apologized for the players not being able to access the servers and thanked them for their support until the shutdown.

Warhammer Odyssey Statement

What is happening with Celtic Heroes? The second game from Virtual Realms has been sold to a new developer. This developer is supposed to continue operating the game, although according to comments on reddit, there are still issues occurring (via reddit).

Reason for the attacks is unknown

Why was the game hacked? There is no official statement regarding the background. The website MMORPG.com reports, however, that the code from the game Legends of Elumia was also leaked, a Play2Earn game in which cryptocurrency plays a role.

This game is said to have also involved the studio Virtual Realms, although they denied being the developer of the game. Instead, the studio supposedly only acted in an advisory capacity. However, the leak showed that the code of the games is said to be very similar. However, the now-deleted whitepaper indicated that developers from Virtual Realms actively worked on Legends of Elumia.

Why Virtual Realms denied this collaboration and whether the hacker attack is related is unknown.

More about MMORPGs on MeinMMO:

Warhammer: Odyssey wanted to bring real PC feeling to smartphones

What kind of game is it at all? Warhammer: Odyssey is essentially a classic MMORPG that you play on your smartphone or tablet:

  • You create your hero from the 6 different classes.
  • You complete many quests, including side missions from well-known NPCs from the Warhammer world.
  • You explore locations such as the city of Marienburg or the Drakwald Forest, known from the Warhammer universe.
  • It is possible to establish a Mercenary Company. This is a guild.

The special aspect compared to many mobile MMORPGs is that you really have to play and fight actively. There was no automatic pathing to quest objectives or even automatic battles.

The map of LoL has a small detail that is currently driving many players crazy

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

In League of Legends a large part of all players regularly travel on the map Summoner’s Rift. However, this map has a peculiarity. There are differences in elevation depending on where you are on the map. But those can destroy skill shots, and you don’t see at first glance what went wrong.

What is the problem? LoL is played in an isometric perspective – you look from above at your character. Even though you can clearly recognize obstacles by their texture, the walkable areas also have an elevation profile.

However, this elevation difference is not shown or calculated in the skill previews. This leads to some abilities missing, even though they were executed and placed correctly.

Players are now demanding on reddit that this elevation difference be removed.

Player shows with Gangplank how problematic the elevation difference is

What does the problem look like exactly? The reddit user Bibbybobsen published a video where he places his barrels as Gangplank and detonates them. If the barrels are in range, the explosion jumps to the other barrels, even if a wall is in the way.

However, the explosion does not work when the height causes problems.

Recommended editorial content

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 Reddit content

What exactly is the problem? In the first 20 seconds of the video, the player shows how the barrels actually work. If the effect circles of the barrels touch, both explode. If they do not, only one explodes.

From second 22, he then places two barrels that touch each other but do not explode. Shortly after, he shows two barrels that do not touch, but still cause an explosion.

In the reddit thread, further videos have been posted showing problems caused by the elevation difference, for example a video with Ahri, whose charm significantly gains range due to the elevation difference (via Streamable).

Which area is particularly affected? The elevation differences are particularly noticeable at the transitions from land to river in the middle of the map. Besides the shown spot, the area behind the bush in the mid lane also plays an important role.

More about LoL on MeinMMO:

Players demand the removal of height

How is the video received on reddit? Many players are surprised by this fact. They apparently never noticed that there is this elevation difference.

However, nearly everyone agrees that this effect should be removed:

  • The user DevastaTheSeeker says: “The height should never have been included in the game. It is so hard to tell where it actually exists, and the game is played on a 2D plane anyway.”
  • Sash_lol writes: “The height difference never made sense in League. It’s rubbish, just a remnant of copying Dota.”
  • The user I_Am_Caprico points out that Dota fixed this issue a long time ago: “Dota 2 figured it out a long time ago. The indicators clearly show the height difference. I don’t even know why LoL has height, as it doesn’t even relate to gameplay, unlike in Dota.”

Did you know that this elevation difference exists? And have you ever taken advantage of it, or did you stumble upon it by accident? Feel free to write it in the comments.

However, what LoL does right is dealing with hackers. We took a look at this in a special:

New World presents new April update – Fixes a bug that everyone uses

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The April patch focuses on bug fixes and “Quality of Life” changes. The developers of New World want to solve some annoying issues to improve the game overall. However, the update will be significantly smaller than the previous ones.

What’s in the April patch? The official patch notes for the PTR contain about 50 bug fixes and adjustments. Highlights include:

  • The map in cities and outposts now zooms directly in, making it easier to find crafting stations and NPCs
  • There is a fix for the gravity well with the war axe
  • Upon entering instances, progress banners in crafting are no longer displayed
  • Many small objects now lose their collision, so you no longer have to jump over them in the animation
  • The bosses in the arena no longer focus on enemies that are not participating in the fight

Additionally, the body-blocking issue will be fixed, which is currently a major trend in dungeons. You hold a boss in a certain place to manipulate its mechanics, such as the cage with the first boss in the Garden of Origin. This makes the fight easier, but many forget the actual mechanics as a result.

There will also be dozens of smaller bug fixes and slight balance adjustments.

Are these all the changes? No. You can find the complete patch notes on the New World forum. However, there will be further changes in the coming days. If a major adjustment is made, MeinMMO will inform you about it in this article.

3v3 Arenas probably coming in May

What about new content in the patch? The April patch seems to forgo new content according to current information. Many had expected that the PvP arenas would be introduced with this update.

The 3v3 arenas are expected to appear according to the roadmap in “Spring 2022”. May seems to be the last month to which this description still applies.

For the summer, an automatic group finder and a new dungeon are planned, and in the autumn, a new area and the weapon Greatsword will come.

More about New World on MeinMMO:

When is the April patch coming out? The patch will be playable on the test servers starting today, April 12 at 7:00 PM. The release is supposed to take place sometime in April, with the time on the PTR being shorter than in previous updates.
