The best counters against Latias
Use these types: The Pokémon Latias belongs to the Dragon and Psychic types. Accordingly, attackers of the types Dragon, Ice, Bug, Fairy, Dark, and Ghost are effective.

This week, a new MMORPG called Crowfall was released, but hardly anyone noticed. Listen to the news of the week in a new episode of the MeinMMO Podcast.
These are our topics: This week, the new MMORPG Crowfall has been released. However, the interest was quite low. It is already facing some issues.
Another sad piece of news is about Schalke 04’s LoL team. This will definitely be discontinued, and the spot in the top league LEC has been sold.
However, there were also two positive news stories this week. The MMORPG Odin: Valhalla Rising started off strong in its first two days, and the Kickstarter MMO Camelot Unchained has released some announcements that should excite old-school fans.

Today, on July 9, 2021, the new MMORPG Swords of Legends Online (SOLO) celebrates its release. We at MeinMMO will tell you when it starts and keep you updated in case there are server issues.
Update 15:00: Due to the high demand, a new EU server has been created: EU2 – Huaixiu. Gameforge explains that there are cross-server functions (via Gameforge):
Most functions such as playing together in areas or dungeons work
Character names can only be used once across all servers (within a region like EU or NA)
However, trading with players from other servers and joining guilds from other servers do not work
Update 14:32: Some users have reported that they still receive an error message stating that SOLO is not yet live. According to Gameforge, they should restart the client. If the error message still appears, the game must be uninstalled and then reinstalled.

Update 14:21: The first 20 minutes are going really well for an MMORPG release. Apart from performance issues and the wait for quest mobs, which is simply due to the large number of players, there have been no significant issues so far.
Update 14:05: The developers have also released a list of known issues, including:
Missing English voice acting in the Weichuan Highlands and Huaixiu Village areas
Rare cases where the text in subtitles and dialogues is in Chinese
The animation that appears upon reaching a new level flickers under certain conditions
The text in the very first cutscene is still too fast to be fully read
The game updates the prompts for key combinations only after restarting the client
Update 14:01: The game is live, and so far there are no server issues. We are able to play at the moment. However, performance is somewhat affected by the large number of players in the area.
When does the release start? Swords of Legends Online will be released on July 9 at 14:00 our time. You can purchase and play the Buy2Play MMORPG via Steam or the Gameforge client. The simplest version costs 39.99 Euro.
What is Swords of Legends? SOLO is a Chinese theme park MMORPG that places emphasis on a story told through many English-voiced cutscenes and quests. There are 6 different classes, all without gender lock.
In PvE, you can expect world bosses, dungeons in several difficulty levels, and the first raids shortly after release.
For PvP fans, there are faction battles, a 3v3 arena with a leaderboard, and several modes that take place in arenas.
Other highlights include housing, a fair gear system, and a shop that is completely free from Pay2Win, but also without Pay2Convenience in the form of additional inventory or bank slots.
The highly anticipated MMORPG Ashes of Creation has updated its terms of service and aims to take a harder stance against Pay2Win. It should be impossible to purchase advantages in the game, and this should also be prohibited outside of the game. Account sharing will be severely punished.
What happened? The developer Intrepid, who is currently developing the new MMORPG Ashes of Creation, has amended the terms of service for the game. There will be severe penalties for sharing, buying, lending, or sharing an account. These penalties could lead to a ban of the involved account in the worst case.
What are unofficial accesses? By unofficial accesses we mean any access to the game that does not solely belong to you. Whether you borrow a friend’s account to play or found a cheap account/key on the internet. Any access that does not solely belong to you.
These penalties can even be imposed retroactively if it later turns out that the account was indeed affected. To prevent this from happening inadvertently, the developer allows you to change your password at any time and without restrictions, and offers two-factor authentication.

Gameplay of Ashes of Creation – so you know what it’s all about.
Adjustments for the Alpha Launch
Why is this happening? The developer has repeatedly spoken out against Pay2Win mechanics. This practice is now intended to be applied outside of the game as well. Even if the term Pay2Win causes confusion and is easily misunderstood.
The developer wants to prevent anyone from gaining an unfair advantage at all costs. If you share your account, you can play more, so that is prohibited. If you buy a high-level account, that is also prohibited. If you pay someone to play on your account, that is prohibited.
Everything that gives you an advantage that is not your own merit will be considered by the developers as a form of Pay2Win and can, in the worst case, lead to a ban of your account.
More games that will soon enter the testing phase:
What other effects does this have? It’s no coincidence that this is happening right now. Soon, Ashes of Creation will launch an alpha, and in various forums, keys and accesses to this alpha have been sold or offered for sharing. The effects of the new guidelines are expected to take effect even now.
While it is a common method among MMORPG developers to prohibit account sharing, viewing it as a form of Pay2Win is an interesting approach. Are you looking forward to Ashes of Creation? Have you ever shared your account in an MMORPG and were punished for it? Feel free to leave us a comment!
27-year-old Maurice “Amazing” Stückenschneider is one of the most well-known German players in League of Legends. After a longer break and positions as a coach, he wants to re-enter as a professional player in LoL, but only on his own terms.
This is Amazing:
The now 27-year-old Amazing is a “jungler” and coach in LoL. His biggest success came in 2015: He reached the semifinals of the Worlds with Origen. Recently, he played actively for Schalke and the US team 100 Thieves. In December 2019, he switched roles and worked as a coach at Misfits Gaming.
Since December 2020, Amazing has not been active in the esports scene, but works as an “influencer” for Misfits Gaming: He is a YouTuber and streamer. He also frequently speaks about socially relevant issues such as online hate.
In an interview, he now announces that he wants to return to professional play in a few months. He believes he can do it. However, he does not want to give up his newly gained freedom.
Burnout cured – Now Amazing wants to attack again
This is what Amazing says about a possible return: Amazing says in an interview with Inven (via inven): In recent months, he has had time to overcome some of the effects of his burnout he accumulated over the years. He had not noticed how burnt out he felt before: He has shed a lot of burden that weighed on him.
After having relaxed enough and recovered physically and mentally, he wants to re-enter the esports scene of LoL:
“I don’t know if I am already good enough for the LEC. I’ve been sitting at 400-500 LP for a while, but I still have 4 or 5 months to prepare properly for the next off-season, when new players are sought.
But I believe that I am at a point now, despite content creation, where I am still able to keep up with LEC players.
If I play again, I also want to perform, so ideally I want to be an 800 LP challenger and beat every other player I encounter about 40% of the time. Because I know that with my experience, I can then reach a 50% win rate in most teams […]
Amazing
Pro wants to keep his new freedoms, not get back on the treadmill
What are his conditions? Amazing makes it clear in the interview that he does not want to be a “pro” as he was before. He does not want to get back into the treadmill of an “LoL career”. He wants to maintain control over his life:
“I know that scrimmages are important, but I want to be able to: as soon as the scrimmages are over, manage my time freely and not depend on anyone. As far as the training programs are concerned: I would probably participate in them, but do my own thing and control myself, not depend on the team.
And of course, I would make sure that my social life is intact while I play.”
Amazing
Amazing clearly sees his expertise in “actively playing himself”; that is where his focus lies.
At 27, many pros think of retirement – He wants to start anew
What’s behind it: Amazing would be considered a relatively old player in LoL at 27. The junglers of the current top teams in the LEC are in some cases 8 years younger than him:
The probably best jungler in the world, the Korean Canyon, is only a tender 20 years old
While there are players who still have an active professional career beyond 25, most are already thinking about retirement at that age. Last year, the mid laner Bjergsen retired at the age of 24.
But from China it was said: American players are weak in LoL because they hold on to their old players for too long. The teams overestimate the recognition and advertising value of the “older players” and forgo the necessary performance, criticized a world champion player from China:
Once again this year, there will be a joint challenge in Pokémon GO. As a reward, trainers are supposed to receive a Hyper Bonus. We have taken a look at what this is about and will show you the theories surrounding it.
What has happened? As Niantic officially announced, there will be a joint challenge for the Pokémon GO Fest 2021 (via pokemongolive.com). As in the previous year, all trainers who have a ticket for the GO Fest will work together to achieve various task goals over the course of the event.
These goals change hourly and unlock a special bonus for the remaining hour if the task is completed. But that was not all. If the trainers manage to solve 8, 16, or even 24 challenges, then an additional Hyper Bonus will be unlocked.
What to expect with the Hyper Bonus
You can earn the Hyper Bonus by collectively achieving the goals of 8, 16, or 24 solved tasks with all trainers participating in the GO Fest. Depending on how many challenges are solved, you will unlock the following Hyper Bonuses:
1. Hyper Bonus: Time: If you together solve 8 challenges, then the 1st Hyper Bonus will be unlocked for you. This revolves around the theme of time. From July 23, 2021, at 10:00 AM to August 3, 2021, at 8:00 PM local time, you will encounter Pokémon from different eras.
2. Hyper Bonus: Space: If you collectively complete 16 challenges, you will be rewarded with the 2nd Hyper Bonus. This will take place from August 6, 2021, at 10:00 AM to August 17, 2021, at 8:00 PM local time. During this event, everything revolves around the theme of space, which is why you will frequently encounter Pokémon from different locations.
3. Hyper Bonus: ???: If you manage to solve a total of 24 tasks together, then the 3rd Hyper Bonus will also be unlocked for you. This will occur from August 20, 2021, at 10:00 AM to August 31, 2021, at 8:00 PM local time. The focus of this Hyper Bonus and which Pokémon will be available for the event is still unknown.
Based on the previous themes of Hyper Bonuses 1 and 2, there are however various indications and theories regarding what the 3rd Hyper Bonus will be. Particularly about the legendary Pokémon, there is a heated discussion in social networks. We have looked into the theories surrounding this for you.
The Theories of the Community
Anyone familiar with the main series of Pokémon games will have instantly thought of the fourth generation with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum in terms of space and time. Also, the themes of time and space play a central role in the Pokémon series and the related films. Films 10, 11, and 12 focus on the battle for space and time. Here, the Pokémon Palkia represents the ruler of space and the monster Dialga represents the ruler of time.
For this reason, the community assumes that the first Hyper Bonus will feature the legendary Pokémon Dialga in raids. Consequently, Palkia is expected to be present during the second Hyper Bonus. Both Pokémon have previously been available in the game.
Dialga and Palkia normal (top) and as Shiny (bottom)
Therefore, some users speculate that Niantic might introduce these in their shiny forms. A special attack could also be possible. The reddit user Kevsterific writes that he could imagine that the Shinies will be available now and the special attacks will come in November (via reddit.com).
Another reddit user, krispyboiz, would also welcome two new shiny variants in the game. However, he points out that both Pokémon are already sought-after monsters, which would receive a lot of attention in raids even without a shiny variant (via reddit.com).
Will Arceus appear in Pokémon GO?
For a long time, trainers of Pokémon GO have wished for the introduction of Arceus in the game. So far, this has never happened. However, the Hyper Bonus revolving around space and time gives the community a great incentive for speculation.
Besides Palkia and Dialga, Arceus also plays a central role in the films. It is considered the creator of the Pokémon world and can therefore assume all 18 types in the film. This legendary Pokémon could fit perfectly into the space-time theme of the last Hyper Bonus.
Arceus
reddit users share this view. Therefore, trainerTITs310 is sure: “This has to lead to Arceus, it is the creator Pokémon, it created space and time, and all Pokémon that have been available in raids will be in raids during the GO Fest. It must culminate with Arceus.” (via reddit.com).
The user Dreiko3927 also agrees with this opinion and writes that the Hyper Bonus strongly hints at Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina and he hopes for Arceus (via reddit.com). The Twitter community also shares this assumption and hopes for the introduction of Arceus (via twitter.com).
Is the 3rd Hyper Bonus tied to the Distortion World?
Beside Arceus, there is another Pokémon that could be involved in the 3rd Hyper Bonus. This is Giratina. This monster represents the Distortion World in the film and could also thematically fit into the concepts of time and space.
Giratina (Altered Form) normal and as Shiny
Giratina has been catchable in the game for some time now and is also available as Shiny. If Niantic plans to introduce the shiny forms of Palkia and Dialga in connection with the Hyper Bonus, then there would probably be no updates for Giratina.
Therefore, some trainers, like the reddit user soojiboy, consider Giratina unlikely. He writes: “If they release the Shinies, the Distortion World wouldn’t make sense since the Shiny has already been released. Arceus, perhaps?” (via reddit.com).
What Pokémon will actually await you during these three event periods is still unfortunately unknown. As soon as there is new information from Niantic, you will learn it here with us, at MeinMMO.
If you are interested in more about Pokémon GOyou might also find this appealing:
What do you think about the announced Hyper Bonus? Which legendary Pokémon do you hope to see during these time periods? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers on MeinMMO.
Additionally, you can expect further bonuses for GO Fest 2021 in Pokémon GO. We have looked into what they are and who can receive them.

Sony released a video where the PS5 was upside down. But now some users are wondering if their PS5 is positioned incorrectly.
The design of the PlayStation 5 seems to unsettle many users even months after the release. Because the design of the PlayStation 5 allows you to position the console in different ways:
You can either set it up vertically, and then it stands like a tower in your cabinet or on your table.
The second option is to set the console up horizontally. For this, you need to mount the included round stand on one side of the PS5.
So far, many users have assumed that the console should be positioned so that the disc drive is at the bottom when standing. But now some users are confused again.
In a short advertisement that Sony released, the PlayStation 5 could be seen in the TV cabinet. But it is upside down, which is typically recognized by the fact that the drive is on the top.
Sony quickly removed the advertisement without comment, but now many users are asking: Maybe we have always placed our console upside down?
Users are confused: Is my PlayStation 5 now upside down or insiders from Sony?
Some users on Twitter or Reddit reacted astonished and questioned whether the console in the ad might have been positioned correctly after all (via reddit.com):
What if… we are the ones who have our PS5 upside down?
Some point out that it is intuitive to position the drive upwards instead of downwards (via reddit.com). This way, it is much easier to access the drive.
While some users argue that the drive must be at the bottom of the lying PS5, there are concerns from users who own a Digital Edition. Because here you cannot align the PlayStation with the drive.
PS5 Design continues to confuse users months after release
Some users on Reddit have indeed confirmed that the design of the PlayStation 5 is confusing. User TM674329 explains (via reddit.com) that it took him an hour to position his PS5 correctly:
I spent an hour on my first night with my PS5 figuring out why it wouldn’t read discs. Thanks to Reddit, I learned that it was upside down and I’m very dumb.
Some even speculate that the advertisement must be an insider from Sony: Because the very first PlayStation often overheated and shut down. But if you placed the original PlayStation upside down, there were no issues at all (via reddit.com).
PS5 has been upside down before: Moreover, the PlayStation 5 has been seen upside down before. The PlayStation chief already caused a surprise with a tweet.
The PlayStation head previously had his PS5 upside down
A few months ago, PlayStation chief Hermen Hulst made headlines for positioning his PS5 upside down as well. Here, too, some users amused themselves that the PS5’s design must be so confusing that not even the official staff knows how to position the PS5 accurately.
Speculation arose here too about whether Hulst had intentionally positioned his PS5 incorrectly to see if anyone noticed it, or whether Sony was experimenting with the PlayStation 5. Hulst quickly deleted the post on Twitter.
What do you think about it? Is your PlayStation 5 lying or standing in your cabinet or in front of your TV, or have you not thought about how to position your console yet?
Haven’t received a PlayStation 5 yet and looking for a purchase option? Then check out our PS5 ticker on MeinMMO. Here we keep you updated with daily information.

The 26-year-old streamer Jenelle “Indiefoxx” Dagres has been banned from Twitch. However, she has found a way to still earn money through Twitch clips: She sells her “best moments on Twitch” as a type of digital trading card. Some of the “NFT” clips now cost up to €300 on the marketplace.
This is the situation:
The streamer Indiefoxx is known for controversial streams where she violated the rules for “sexually suggestive content” on Twitch: For example, during the “Earlicking Streams” where she moaned into a microphone. She was banned 6 times in 2021. Her last ban was apparently permanent because after ban number 6 Indiefoxx lost her partner status and thus the ability to earn money on Twitch.
The streamer is now selling her Twitch clips as “NFTs” through a website.
Allegedly, all clips were sold within 30 minutes. Prices on the open market now range between €8 and €300.
Twitch Clips as Limited Digital Trading Cards
What exactly is Indiefoxx selling? Indiefoxx has sold some “NFTs” through the site “Eternal.gg”: These are “Non-Fungible Tokens”: A unique, cryptographic token that is non-interchangeable and non-reproducible.
Essentially, an NFT is like a “digital trading card”, an item created and signed by a user. These items can then be traded like limited artworks. Indiefoxx herself compares them to “Pokémon” cards.
A well-known example of “NFTs” are the “CryptoKitties”, virtual cats.
Indiefoxx has offered her “best Twitch moments” for sale on a website. They are all of a “non-erotic” nature and show everyday scenes:
For $15, there is a clip where she shows a woman a strange “ghetto razor blade” weapon. The clip is considered “ordinary”, with 500 in circulation.
For $99, one can buy a Twitch clip where Indiefoxx sings “Eleanor Rigby” by the Beatles and accompanies herself on a guitar – the clip is considered “rare”, with 110 copies circulating.
A clip where she talks to a monk costs between $359 and $5000, with 50 copies available – the clip is considered “mythical”.
The lowest price for the “mythical clip” is $359, about €300.
Is anyone really buying this? Apparently yes: The streamer claims all her NFTs were sold out within 30 minutes.
Anyone who wants to buy a clip now can purchase it on the market from someone who acquired the clip from her.
Why would someone buy this? The NFTs apparently serve as speculative objects that one buys to resell for a profit.
Some view it very critically as a “bubble” or a “short-term trend” where one can burn a lot of money – for others, it’s a growth market they want to enter.
When Indiefoxx was banned for the sixth time, people were upset: Such a ban has no impact on the streamer. She uses it as free advertising. Now it can be seen that Indiefoxx is still making money with Twitch even after her ban:
In CoD Warzone helicopters are in acute danger. Because a bug turns the usually quite useless crossbow into a powerful AA gun. How can this be?
What is the deal with the anti-helicopter crossbow? The crossbow is actually a lousy weapon in CoD Warzone that hardly anyone uses voluntarily. The fired bolt is too slow and it deals too little damage on impact. You’d rather grab an assault rifle, like one of these top weapons from Season 4.
But due to a curious bug, the crossbow has suddenly become the ideal anti-aircraft weapon in the Warzone. As a user on reddit found out, bolts take down helicopters with just one hit. Even allied helicopters are not safe. One shot and the helicopter spirals down in flames.

How does the bug work? Behind the curious effect that bolt fire has on armored combat helicopters lies apparently a bug. Because the bolts seem not to be recognized as normal projectiles by the game, but rather as “world objects”.
The difference is huge, because world objects are usually things like walls, rock faces, or buildings. So all the things that can cause damage to a vehicle, like a helicopter, upon collision.
If a bolt hits a helicopter, the game interprets it as if the helicopter had crashed into a wall at high speed. Only, in this case, the “wall” is a fired bolt. Therefore, helicopters are also hopeless against this form of fire, and since it is technically a collision, you can also destroy your own helicopters this way.
However, there are no points for the kills, since you technically haven’t shot anything down. The helicopter has merely collided with a wall in the game’s view, and there is no reward for that.
Since this clearly constitutes a bug and exploiting it would be an exploit, we strongly advise against shooting at unsuspecting helicopters with crossbows. After all, you don’t want to risk a ban, which is something that only experienced cheaters typically face.

The new MMORPG Lost Ark has received a Battle Pass with the big summer update in Korea. It is still unclear whether Amazon Games will adopt this system for our version, but it is conceivable. Therefore, we at MeinMMO took a look at the Pass.
What is a Battle Pass? The Battle Pass, also known as a season pass, is an increasingly common business model. It works quite simply: you can level up the pass by completing tasks in the game within a certain timeframe. This timeframe usually extends over several weeks or even months.
How does the Battle Pass work in Lost Ark? Here, too, you need to complete tasks to increase your progress in the Pass. Noteworthy rewards are available every five levels until your Pass reaches the maximum level of 30.
The tasks largely revolve around things you are already doing when you actively play the game, including:
Complete a raid
Do a dungeon
Kill seven bosses
If you choose the free Pass, you essentially receive rewards for normal tasks. A good deal.
Lost Ark features a system in which the Battle Pass comes in three different versions. There is a free version, a premium version of the Pass for about 20 euros, and a super premium Pass for about 50 euros.
It is possible to upgrade the Pass with real money only at the end. So if you level up your Battle Pass to level 30 in the free version and then spend money, you will receive all the rewards from the premium or super premium version retrospectively.
In this stream clip from Saintone, you can see the new mount, which is also available in the free version of the Pass:

What’s in the Pass? To answer the most important question directly: No, the Pass is definitely not pay-to-win. We will reveal what exactly is included.
What’s included in the free version:
One million silver
The panther from the linked video, available in black or white
A whole lot of upgrade materials
A legendary card package
What’s included in the €20 premium Pass:
Everything from the free Pass
Even more (really much more) upgrade materials
An item to increase your affinity with an NPC
An exclusive pet
A T3 jewel box
What’s included in the €50 super premium Pass:
Everything from the premium Pass
An exclusive background for character selection
One more affinity item
500 blue crystals (one of the real money currencies)
What does the community say about it? The community seems to receive the Pass positively overall. Especially the free and also the premium version are well received by players. However, in the summer update, there were some changes in the upgrade system. Now, you need a lot more materials, but less gold than before.
It is still unclear how much the upgrade materials in the premium Pass are actually worth. Nevertheless, the mood is generally good.
However, the super premium Pass is not as well received. It costs about twice as much and only offers purely cosmetic content. What might sound good here, as there are no gameplay advantages for more money, is not well received by Korean players.
There is great perplexity about why one should pay so much money for purely cosmetic content. There is a palpable desire for more content for the super premium variant.
As the user Xibbas writes (via reddit): ” It looks like the free Pass also gets a lot of upgrade materials. The €20 more gives you even more materials […] the €50 Pass, on the other hand, only provides you with a limited costume and a background..”
What do you think of the Battle Passes? Which version would you buy? And how would you feel if a Battle Pass was also introduced here? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
The superhero MMO DC Universe Online will receive the new Episode 41 in August. This will bring a few new contents, but mainly focus on the overhaul of old content. The aim is to make the game more interesting, especially for users without a subscription and newcomers.
What are the highlights of the update? Episode 41 will significantly change DC Universe. The biggest innovations are:
A new headquarters will be introduced, a social hub where heroes and villains can meet, and which will be “tidier” than the previous hubs.
Old content will be adjusted so that it can scale with difficulty in the future and always provide meaningful rewards. The so-called Combat Rating Relevancy will be removed, which prevents players with a too high item level from receiving loot in old areas.
A completely new system will be introduced: the Allies. These are allies like Cyborg or Flash, who will accompany you in battle and can be leveled up by you.
A group search tool will be introduced for old episodes and current events.
Is there something for veterans as well? Yes, with Episode 41 new rewards will be introduced that veterans can earn through the new content “Save The Universe”.
In “Save The Universe”, old content will be highlighted for a certain time, fully adjusted to the current level, and equipped with a new currency. The content will be released in both a normal and an elite version.
As part of Episode 41, the contents of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman will be featured.
Free2Play players will greatly benefit from the update
What changes for players without a subscription? The biggest change is access to all episodes. Until now, players without a subscription could test new episodes for a short time, but could never play them permanently. That will change now.
Another innovation is the daily login rewards, which will now also be available for free players. Those who log in every day will be able to earn rewards worth about 20 dollars. Premium members, on the other hand, will receive additional rewards.
The new daily login rewards in DC Universe.
Additionally, the following changes will be made for free players:
Increase the maximum money from 2,000 to 50,000 dollars
7 additional inventory slots
Full access to the housing system and the utility belt (a bonus item for trinkets)
The Promethium Lockboxes, which contain random loot and can only be opened with a special key, will be completely removed
The developers have stated that their goal for DC Universe is that players should never feel forced to take out a subscription. However, those who play regularly should feel “silly” for not taking one, as the offer is so good.
What changes for subscription players? Those who subscribe will also benefit from new features, including:
Additional login rewards worth at least 60 dollars
7 additional inventory slots (28 total with the subscription)
8 additional bank slots (32 total with the subscription)
7 additional shared bank slots (7 total with the subscription)
In addition, subscription users will continue to receive the old rewards, including 10 additional character slots, some real money currency for the shop, and a 10% discount at the marketplace. However, there is no real gameplay advantage, such as additional XP or better equipment.
DC Universe plans further updates in the coming months
What happens with DCUO after Episode 41? The Episode 42 is planned for the fourth quarter of 2021. This should again be a “traditional” episode with more content for veterans. In addition, three events have already been announced:
The autumn event
Wonder Woman’s 80th
A winter event around Christmas
For the first quarter of 2022, another 3 events are also planned. Furthermore, Episode 43 and a special version for the PS5 are set to be released in 2022.
This is how DC Universe will continue.
DC Universe Online is one of the most important games from the developer Daybreak. At the end of 2020, the company revealed how many players log into their games each month. Almost 420,000 players are said to log into the MMORPG every month. This puts it well ahead of other titles such as Everquest, Dungeons & Dragons Online, or Lord of the Rings Online:
The upcoming Viking game Tribes of Midgard has recently revealed the first information about the gameplay and the content of the first season “The Wolf Saga”. Find out here what crazy ideas the developers have come up with for events and rune upgrades – one of them encourages you to carry less.
Wait, do I really have to be naked? You “don’t have to,” but in the first season of Tribes of Midgard, there is a bonus for each empty armor slot of your character. At least with the corresponding “Rune” – one of the systems to keep the survival RPG exciting. The developers shared this in new game information, which included new gameplay shown in the video.
What we already know about the gameplay: In a recently released new video, Community Manager Sydnee McLeod finally talks about more gameplay features of the upcoming survival MMO Tribes of Midgard. The game is said to have two basic modes:
Saga Mode: A session-based game mode where you specifically team up with a group of friends for a few hours of fun; in this mode, there are saga quests and exclusive season loot.
Survival Mode: A kind of sandbox MMO mode where you build a village with friends, explore the world, and fend off attacks from monsters and giants.
Moreover, it seems that how warmly you dress might matter after all, as the developers frequently mentioned in their blog that the eternal Fimbulwinter is approaching, and it will get cold. How does that fit with the nakedness bonus?
What we know about the classes: There will be 8 classes available at launch, but only two will be immediately accessible. The rest must be unlocked.
One of the two starting classes is the Ranger, a ranged fighter. Through a complex skill tree, you can further develop your hero.

Nakedness Runes and Rooster Event – How Wild Tribes of Midgard Will Be
This is how the runes work: You can upgrade your heroes by equipping them with gear. But there are also runes that provide additional bonuses.
One rune lets you deal more damage to giants, while another rune prevents you from losing all “souls” when you die. These souls are important for strengthening the world tree sapling, among other things. Furthermore, this indicates that you will likely have to face a significant loss upon death.
Especially amusing is the already mentioned rune that gives you bonuses for each empty armor slot. This means in the final interpretation that you will become an absolutely fearsome berserker when you charge into battle naked!
According to the community manager, in Saga mode, you will receive a random selection of runes at the start of each session.
This is what the events are about: In Saga mode, you will fight particularly powerful bosses with friends, and the first of them is initially chained in a cave. However, to find and defeat him, you must complete events in the world. All of which are quite original, especially the event with the three Ragnarok roosters.
For it has been foretold that the crowing of the three legendary roosters Gullinkambi, Fjalar, and a third nameless rooster is the first sign of the impending twilight of the gods. But what if you silence the three rascals beforehand?
Other events revolve around victims of kidnapping by dark elves or a meeting with a legendary stag. So if you enjoy Nordic mythology, you’re in for a treat here.
In addition to the regular gameplay, there will be regularly special seasons that are time-limited. While a season is running, various additional features will be available. As an example, in the first season “The Wolf Saga,” these include:
New classes
Exclusive loot
Special saga bosses
Cute little pets
These things are all exclusive to the current season, so if you miss one, you might never be able to obtain a certain item afterward.
When does it start? The first season “Wolf Saga” starts at launch on July 27, 2021. In September, there will be a mid-season update, and in November, season 2 will continue. This season will also have a mid-season update two months later in January 2022. It should therefore change something in the game every 2 months.
Tribes of Midgard will be available on July 27, 2021, for PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, and PS5. If you can’t wait that long and want to start Viking survival right now, you should check out the game Valheim. It offers a huge world to explore.

A little riddle mount caused frustration among players of World of Warcraft. Blizzard is now explaining it, but also changing how you can farm it.
In World of Warcraft, there are now quite a few secrets and processes that are not clearly explained by the game. Among them are also some mounts, where players think they know the exact solution – but that is not always the case. Therefore, Blizzard has now provided clarification regarding the mount “Maelie”.
What kind of mount is this? It is about the mount Maelie. This is a new mount that players can find on Korthia when they look out for the little horse with the same name for several days. You must find Maelie six times on different days to receive the item “Reins of the Wanderer”, which then unlocks the mount.
Maelie can be found, if it is present, every day at a different spawn point. Usually a little off the paths or well hidden among roots or bushes.
What did Blizzard explain? Contrary to what was claimed in many guides, Blizzard has now clarified that Maelie is not found in Korthia every day. This had frustrated players – especially since the NPC (“Tiny Bell”) prompts players every day in Korthia to go look for Maelie. Even on those days when you cannot find the escaped hoofed animal at all.
More about World of Warcraft on MeinMMO can be found here:
Blizzard changes riddle, increases spawn rate: Apparently, there were too many tickets with complaints or discussions from players. Because Blizzard stated in a blue post that it has raised the spawn rate for Maelie. In doing so, Blizzard also deviates from its usual silence regarding smaller and larger riddles. It is stated in the official forum:
As a general rule, we do not comment on spawn rates or drop rates, but I would like to confirm here that Maelie is not expected to be found in Korthia every day.
However, we will raise her spawn rate with a hotfix and change it so that Tiny Bell does not ask you to find Maelie when she is not present at all.
These changes should go live within the next two days.
This should make it somewhat easier for all players to find Maelie and add her to their mount collection.
Have you collected Maelie yet? Did you even know that this mount exists?

In Destiny 2, you can get a shotgun during the Solstice of Heroes 2021 for a minute and solve a riddle about a hidden cat. We show you what secret lies deep beneath the European Aerial Zone.
This secret is about: The event “Solstice of Heroes” runs until August 3rd in Destiny 2. Only during this period can you enter the area European Aerial Zone. Here, you fight against bosses, collect Solstice chests, and you can also find a little secret: a cat.
The cat, more specifically the cat statue, has been hiding deep beneath the Shattered City and has been posing riddles to Guardians since 2019. If you find the petrified house cat, you will unlock a legendary shotgun and an event triumph. MeinMMO shows you the location (also in the video) and reveals which weapon you will receive for your discovery.
Here’s how to find the cat: Finding the cat, claiming the triumph, and grabbing the weapon takes you only a minute if you know where to look:
Start the event activity “European Aerial Zone” (EAZ) in the Tower.
Directly when the round starts, you spawn on some floating rocks, your goal is straight ahead and to the left.
You will see a long crack in the ground just before the actual arena on the left side.
Jump into the spot where a tree lies across.
Let yourself fall one level down and look straight ahead, you will see a drainage pipe.
In the tunnel, keep left, you will see a teleporter – do not use it!
Continue exploring the dark room, on the wall you will see the cat statue, which you can interact with:
It says hello briefly and unlocks the triumph “Solstice Catnip”
Now use the teleporter and kindly help your team complete the run in the EAZ.
Here you will find the direct way to the hidden cat in the European Aerial Zone in Esoterickk’s video:

Where is the shotgun? You will receive the promised shotgun as soon as you redeem the triumph “Solstice Catnip”. You get it when you interact with the cat in the EAZ. Then check the triumphs menu under “Season of the Splicer” and select Solstice on the far right. And voila, the shotgun will wander into your inventory – this only works once.
The legendary Void shotgun is called the Retold Tale. The weapon has a 65 rate of fire, precision frame, and high range. Important: it is not a slug shotgun like the exotic Chaperone, but a weapon with spread.
With the Retold Tale, you can further increase the rate of fire with a magazine perk
This confuses players: The Retold Tale actually belongs to the weapon arsenal of the Dreaming City. With Season 13, the weapon has been overhauled and has received new perks and an endless infusion cap.
It’s somewhat strange for Bungie to give the Guardians a weapon from the Dreaming City, especially since the Solstice has also received a new shotgun as an event weapon: Windrose is also a 65 precision shotgun for the energy slot.
However, an explanation for the “Dreaming City” weapon in the EAZ can be quickly found: There are cat statues hiding in the Dreaming City as well. However, these are smaller and want a gift from the Guardians, not the other way around.
More hidden animals in Destiny 2: Bungie has it with hidden animals – in every DLC location you can search for cute animals as secrets and be rewarded with triumphs and small lore entries as well as loot:
Have you already visited the cat and collected your shotgun as a reward? Has the hidden statue haunted your dreams for 2 years and now you can finally sleep peacefully, or do you still think it has something to do with the 15th wish of the Dreaming City? Let us know in the comments.

The well-known YouTube streamer Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm has now offered to save Call of Duty: Warzone . The team from Raven has abandoned the shooter and is acting aimlessly anyway, but he knows the solution. He just needs a whiteboard and a marker, and he could solve all the problems of the game and make Activision Blizzard millions of dollars.
The 39-year-old Guy Beahm was in his previous life, before he became a character on Twitch and now on YouTube, a developer for Call of Duty and designed maps for the shooter. He still feels connected to Call of Duty, even though he struggles with the game from time to time.
Now DrDisrespect explains how he could save the battle royale shooter with his brilliance and mustachioed charm if only he were allowed to.
“I just need a meeting and a whiteboard to save Warzone”
This is what DrDisrespect says: He was again killed in CoD: Warzone by a player using the “Dead Silence” ability, making him unheard when he eliminated him.
Now the two-meter man built up to one of his popular rants in a video and explained: It is clear that the team from Raven has failed with Call of Duty: Warzone. They are just clueless and have already given up.
But for him and his Champions Club (his fans), saving Call of Duty: Warzone is a piece of cake. Because they are creative on a whole different level:
“I just need a meeting – that’s all I need. A big whiteboard behind me and a marker. It’s clear, it’s completely clear that they are clueless! They don’t know what they are doing, and they have given up. It just takes a few changes that are very easy to implement:
No one wants “Dead Silence” in that damn game. That would be the first thing I would write on the whiteboard!”
DrDisrespect
Subsequently, DrDisrespect then stated that he would bring Raven “millions of new players” back and thereby generate millions of dollars for the company.
What’s up with “Dead Silence”? It is known that DrDisrespect pays a lot of attention to sounds in shooters to orient himself by them. It is important for him to hear where the next enemy is coming from or from which direction he is being shot at.
“Dead Silence” temporarily suppresses the footstep sounds in Call of Duty: Warzone. This is an unforgivable error for DrDisrespect; after all, it contradicts his own playstyle, which is heavily based on hearing threats and reacting to them.
On July 9, the new MMORPG Swords of Legends Online (SOLO) was released. We at MeinMMO were able to play the Alpha and Beta and have compiled information and tips on leveling.
How does leveling work? Leveling in Swords of Legends is very linear:
You follow a main story that gradually leads you through the various areas where you can find side quests and further tasks suitable for your level.
In between, there are individual phases where you need to do a bit of grinding because your story quest only continues after reaching a certain level.
However, the story and quests are identical for each of the six classes, with the exception of some special training quests in specially designed areas for each class. Aside from that, there is only one area per level range where you can be active.
What is the max level? SOLO uses an interesting system where you first need to reach level “Scholar 36” and then complete an advancement quest. After that, you have reached the current maximum level “Student 1”.
In China, there was already an expansion that allows you to reach “Student 36” and then you get another advancement quest that takes you to a new level, which will probably be translated as something like “Master 1”.
How long does it take to reach max level? In the Alpha, we at MeinMMO needed about 16 hours of gameplay to reach Student 1. Depending on how closely you read quest texts and follow the story, leveling will take between 10 and 25 hours.
To reach the maximum level as quickly as possible, we provide you with some tips in this article.
Note: This article was first published on May 20 and was updated on July 9 for the release of Swords of Legends.
[toc]
Always complete all quests you can find
Why should you complete all quests? Besides the main quest that guides you through all areas, there are also side quests in each area and starting from a certain level, daily tasks (marked with a green question mark on the map).
You should pay attention to accepting and completing as many quests as possible while leveling. Because during the leveling process, it can happen that you lack a few experience points to continue the main story.
Then you will be frustrated that you didn’t complete the low-level quests beforehand.
Between levels 35 and 36, it can also happen that even with all quests completed, you may still lack a few experience points. Then the next tip will help you.
Use bounties, dungeons, and other tricks to get through the grind
For some levels, you will inevitably have to break out of the classic rhythm of quests, as there are simply no new quests available for you to complete. For exactly these phases, we have 3 tips for you.
Complete dungeons: The easiest method to gather experience points is by completing the dungeon “Cool Path” on the “Practice” level. It is designed for players from level 22 and can be accessed in the “Weichuan Highlands” area.
You can bring NPC companions along in the interface under “Enter Instance” alongside other players. You start with one and get a second NPC along the way. With them, you can blitz through the dungeon.
While at level 23 the enemies still give XP, you will later gain a bit more than 10,000 experience points for completing the dungeon starting from level 32.
The interface for entering a dungeon.
Defeat bounties: Another effective method to gather additional experience points is by daily completing bounties. You unlock the bounties through “Cultivation,” which we will go into in more detail later.
Bounties can be defeated starting from level 20, making them particularly suitable for grinding between levels 23 and 25. But you can still complete them easily later on.
Complete biographies: For those who enjoy stories and don’t want to rush to max level, they can use the biographies for leveling. These are special story quests that tell many background stories.
For their completion, there are relatively few experience points, but you will learn more about the game world.
What is cultivation? Cultivation is a kind of tutorial for the various contents of the game. Through this interface, you receive tutorials on:
dungeons
interface content like friend lists or alliances
life skills like bounty hunting, the Emerald Lantern, or fishing
biographies
PvP, mini games, and housing
Cultivations are essential to learn the various contents. Additionally, you must complete them initially in a fixed order, while later on, weekly events are added, and several tasks can be completed in parallel.
For each completed cultivation, you also receive rewards that you can collect in the respective interface:
During cultivations, you are given various tasks that introduce you to the different contents of the MMORPG.
Use your companions
In SOLO, there is a companion system that allows you to summon NPC helpers to your side. This works especially well in practice dungeons, through which, as mentioned in the tip above, you can level up quickly, but they also assist you in the open world.
In the leveling areas, you can summon them by using the “Summon” ability. This is found above your right action bar. There, you can select a companion and then press “Start Attack”. This will have them follow you in the open world and attack the same targets you are fighting.
To rise to Student 1, you need to fill the XP bar again
To reach the max level Student 1, you must fill your XP bar completely at level 36 to get the advancement quest. Again, you will have to resort to the various grind methods once you have completed the story quest at level 35.
Here too, the “Cool Wind” dungeon is recommended again, as there is no new dungeon available between level 22 and Student 1.
Bonus tip: You need max level for most content in the game
Why is leveling so important? The leveling phase in Swords of Legends Online is almost comparable to a huge tutorial. Most cool contents are only available at Student 1, including:
New endgame areas and the finale of the current story
While we do not recommend rushing completely through the leveling process, the MMORPG will definitely become more exciting once you have reached the highest level. This should be feasible for some during the beta.
For a long time, players could find a quirky emote in the Fallout 76 shop that had a broken name and no icon, but it did have an animation. That was not planned. Nevertheless, many used it. Now it is gone.
What kind of emote is it? In the Fallout 76 shop, the emote was simply called “RomanCandleCelebration”, which translates to “Roman Candle Celebration”. However, the emote itself apparently did not work as intended.
When players used it, they pulled out a long stick and lit it with a lighter – but without a flame. They then held the stick in the air and twitched it a few times as if a small explosion should be visible there.
Apparently, it is supposed to be a firework, just without the fireworks. No sparks, no colors, and no explosions, just the character waving a stick around.
Some players compared the emote to sad wizards or unsuccessful students who weren’t accepted into Harry Potter’s magic school. Although the emote didn’t work, it did entertain some of the users.

Can I still get the emote? No, “RomanCandleCelebration” has now been removed from the Atomic Shop of Fallout 76. With the new major update “Steel Reign” from July 7, the emote disappeared.
That players were able to get the emote was not planned at all. Due to an error, it was available for purchase, according to some users on reddit since February (via reddit.com).
A community manager from Fallout 76 confirmed that this was not at all planned – they wanted to ensure that the emote was taken out of the shop again (via reddit.com). Nevertheless, it was available until July.
New update removes emote but brings new content
What’s in the update: With “Steel Reign”, the story of the Steel Brotherhood in Appalachia continues, one of the best-known factions in the entire Fallout universe. The update was announced earlier and promised to be unusually dark for Fallout.
Along with the new story, several new features have come to the game that players have been waiting for quite some time:
you can craft your own legendary items with special components
the popular power armors are now also available in a legendary variant – players have been asking for this since release
legendary weapons, armor and power armors can receive new attributes
a new merchant with special offers for your gold bars has appeared
the limit for caps, gold bars, and legendary scrips has been increased
In addition, there is a new game board (Battle Pass) for Season 5 on which you can level up without limit for the first time. You can find the complete patch notes on the official website (via bethesda.net).
Over the years, Fallout 76 has continued to improve, and with many updates, new stories and features have been added to the game. Many players still enjoy playing and support each other when help is needed. Especially newcomers are always warmly welcomed. This is one of the reasons why Fallout 76 remains one of the best survival games for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox in 2021.

The GO Fest 2021 in Pokémon GO is approaching, and more information is coming out. Now the new Hyperbonus and more content for the event are known.
This is the Hyperbonus for GO Fest 2021: As last year, there will also be multiple global challenges at GO Fest 2021 that all trainers with a ticket to the event must complete together. Every hour there will be a new challenge that unlocks a bonus for the next hour.
If all 24 challenges of the GO Fest are successfully completed, the new “Hyperbonus” will be unlocked. It consists of several parts that will be active after the GO Fest and bring special content. The Hyperbonus 2021 looks like this:
Hyperbonus, Part 1: Time
Activated after 8 completed challenges
Runs from Friday, July 23 at 10:00 AM to Tuesday, August 3, at 8:00 PM
Content: Pokémon from different eras will appear more frequently because the “flow of time is disturbed.”
Hyperbonus, Part 2: Time
Unlocked after 16 successful challenges
Runs from Friday, August 6 at 10:00 AM to Tuesday, August 17 at 8:00 PM
Pokémon from different locations will appear because “space is being curved.”
Hyperbonus, Part 3: ???
Unlocked after 24 successful challenges
Runs from Friday, August 20 (10:00 AM) to Tuesday, August 31 (8:00 PM)
There will be “strange events” – more is not known.
The descriptions of the bonuses are still quite open – further information will likely be provided soon. The themes of “space” and “time” can give clues to the main Pokémon games: The legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia are responsible for time and space. Together with Giratina, they make up the “Dimension Trio,” created by Arceus. Arceus, however, is still completely absent in Pokémon GO.
Whether these monsters are directly related to the Hyperbonus is still speculation.
Pokémon with special attacks and more bonuses known
In addition to the Hyperbonus, the developers announced additional bonuses. These include Pokémon with special attacks, costumed monsters, special spawns in raids, and cosmetics. You can find the overview here.
Bonuses for all trainers
These monsters will appear in raids for all trainers:
Galar-Ponyta, Galar-Zigzagoon with Meloetta hat, and Krabby will appear in Level 1 raids (can all be Shiny)
Galar-Grimer, Hitmontop, and Kabuto will appear in Level 3 raid battles
These costumed monsters will appear for all trainers:
Pikachu with Meloetta hat (can be Shiny)
These Pokémon will receive special attacks for all trainers:
If you evolve your Kirlia during the event period on Saturday or Sunday, you will receive Gardevoir with Synchronoise.
If you evolve your Vibrava during the event period on Saturday or Sunday, you will receive Flygon with Earth Power.
These bonuses are also coming: Between Friday, July 16, 2021 (10:00 PM) and Monday, July 19 (8:00 AM), every trainer can conduct a special trade six times. In addition, there will be a free GO Fest shirt in the shop.
More about Pokémon GO and the GO Fest 2021 on MeinMMO:
In addition to the previously mentioned bonuses, there are also spawns and bonuses that are only applicable to ticket holders for the GO Fest.
Different Pokémon with additional special attacks can appear.
Star-Pikachu knows Thief, Rocker-Pikachu knows Star Strike. You can choose one of the two in the course of the special research for GO Fest 2021. The Pikachu variant you choose can appear in a snapshot after the special research on Saturday.
Trainers who choose Star-Pikachu will receive an iconic pose.
Trainers who choose Rocker-Pikachu will receive a rock pose.
Gardevoir and Flygon with Meloetta hat may appear and must be selected during the special research. Both have their respective Community Day attack. They may also appear in snapshots after the research.
After completing the research, there will be a Meloetta shirt for your avatar.
The Pokémon GO Fest 2021 is probably the biggest event of the year in the game. But overall, there is a lot happening this month. Here you can find all events in Pokémon GO in July 2021.

The main program will last 40 minutes and will specifically focus on games that will be released soon, including Battlefield 2042, Lost in Random, and more – including some surprises. The highlights of the previous streams are supposed to be summarized during the pre-show.
By the way, as was already known in advance, there will be no news about a new Mass Effect or Dragon Age.
What about you? What do you think of the new Battlefield 2042 so far? Already a must-buy? Or are you eagerly waiting for more information to decide? Or even only based on the first reviews after release? Let us know in the comments below and share your thoughts with other readers of MeinMMO.

Original Report:What’s happening with CoD? Next week on Thursday, July 15, the new mid-season update for Season 4 might go live and bring new content for Cold War and Battle Royale Warzone. The date is not confirmed, but at least part of the content is already known. Developer Treyarch indirectly confirmed the new zombie map ‘Mauer der Toten’ for the mid-season.
This is a large survival map for the zombie mode. You must grill undead and solve Easter eggs and quests on the side. Since the current timeline of Call of Duty is set in the 1980s, the backstory allows for a visit to the Berlin Wall during the DDR regime. And this is exactly what CoD apparently wants to offer its players. There’s already a short video teaser for this:

Like the other two survival maps in the zombie mode ‘Die Maschine’ and ‘Firebase Z’, the new map offers you a large, zombie-infested area that unleashes hordes of the undead on you and tells a story. With each wave, the zombies get stronger – hitting harder and taking more damage.
Through hidden puzzles, you will learn more about the background of the zombie attack and strengthen your weapons and gear to cope with the nasty zombies. This time, it’s set just around the corner – the story takes place in East Berlin and includes parts of the former Berlin Wall. The video teaser also shows scenes in a subway tunnel and a border checkpoint, which might also pull in the western part of the city into the mess.
In previous zombie modes of Call of Duty, the perk allowed you to carry one more weapon. And this time, the perk soda will likely give you another weapon. The label shows three pistols side by side in the middle of the can and generally many firearms firing in all directions.
What’s the information about the wonder weapon? The developers also published blueprints for possible wonder weapons on Twitter:
The device in the left picture is called CRBR-S and seems to be a customizable wonder weapon. The weapon could possibly be reconfigured into different versions. There are speculations that you can use the wonder weapon to launch projectiles from zombies. In an earlier leak, this weapon was called ‘Mega-Barrel’.
The right picture shows the ‘LT 53 Kazimir Prototype’. The descriptions on the blueprint suggest it is a portal device that opens a gateway to the ‘Dark Aether’. Some might remember the ‘Gersh Device’ – that was a grenade in previous zombie modes that created a small singularity, sucked in zombies, and randomly teleported players across the map. However, it could also be the case that the device is only part of the story.
A deeper insight into the speculations along with the leaks can be found with the English YouTuber ‘Matterz’ (via YouTube).
More specific information and a complete trailer for ‘Mauer der Toten’ are coming soon. The developers emphasized in an English blog post that the release of the trailer will not take long (via callofduty.com).
The zombie excursion to Berlin is an exciting change for German fans. You shouldn’t expect to recognize a street, but a German location can definitely be motivating.
