In week 5, there is a challenge waiting for you in Fortnite, where you need to distribute welcome gifts to the aliens now living in Holly Hatchery. MeinMMO shows you where to place them.
This is what the challenge is about: Before update 17.10, the POI mentioned in the challenge was still the idyllic place Holly Hedges. However, the village is now inhabited by aliens and has been renamed Holly Hatchery.
There is now a gravitational field, everything looks a bit alien, and there are numerous alien parasites present. In week 5, your task is to greet them with welcome gifts. We will show you where you can place the gifts.
Welcome Gifts in Holly Hatchery
What you should pay attention to: All gifts are located in Holly Hatchery, around the force field. So you don’t need to venture into the middle of the place. But still be careful, you will not be the only ones wanting to complete the challenge. It is quite possible that you will run into other players.
However, since you only need to place two gifts and there are a total of 10 spots where you can do this, you should still be able to complete this task.
Here are some locations:
How do I recognize the locations? You can recognize them by their blue silhouettes; they are usually placed on walls or bushes. Once you find such a spot, you just need to interact with it to place the gift.
The easiest spot is located in the southern part. Here, two of the spots are directly at the same house, one in the garden behind it, and one on the street.
What else is new? With patch 17.10, new alien nanites were also introduced into the game, which you can use to upgrade your weapons. They can also be used as a kind of gravitational weapon.
In the upcoming action MMO Lost Ark, the warrior class must certainly not be missing. The warrior can later split into three subclasses that differ significantly from one another. Read here what the warrior can do.
What is the warrior in Lost Ark? The warrior does not initially offer any major surprises. You get a big muscle-bound character who stomps around slowly and has a penchant for massive shoulder armor.
The warrior fights in melee – unlike the Sorceress – dealing damage with sword and shield. His role in the upcoming beta of Lost Ark mainly involves occupying enemies in close combat.
Berserker, Gunlancer, and Paladin – the Three Subclasses of the Warrior and Their Skills
Later, you can also further develop the warrior into additional subclasses. These significantly change his responsibilities.

What is the Berserker? The Berserker is a damage specialization of the warrior. With a massive two-handed sword, he swings even harder and primarily uses skills to decimate large hordes of enemies. He can spin wildly and chop down multiple enemies at once.
Alternatively, he can use the skill Hellblade to create fiery fissures in the ground that continuously wound enemies and eventually blow them away. He also has various skills that allow the Berserker to send energy waves with his sword, hitting enemies at close range.
If you like to clear out large numbers of small enemies, the Berserker is ideal.
What is the Gunlancer? Here, you trade your weaponry for a large shield and a type of cannon with a massive bayonet.
With this, you can shoot from medium range and still perform deadly melee attacks.
This subclass is no longer purely a melee fighter and has various skills for crowd control. So, if you enjoy tactical gameplay, this subclass is for you.
What is the Paladin? The Paladin, on the other hand, has a rather small sword, but he can support the group with buffs and blessings that act as an aura even on their own. Additionally, the Paladin can unleash the power of the gods in epic explosions.
If you enjoy supporting your group and still want to polish off plenty of enemies, then the Paladin is your choice.
In Destiny 2, you can get the special emblem “Spicy Ramen” for free. We will tell you where to redeem the code, why Bungie is in a celebratory mood today, and what Bungie Day 2021 has to offer.
Destiny 2 has a birthday? Not quite, but Bungie is celebrating its 30th anniversary. And the studio behind Destiny and Halo is of course celebrating on July 7th – the so-called Bungie Day. For you, this means among other things, that you will receive a new cosmetic for Destiny 2 for free.
All you need to do is know a code and where to redeem it, which MeinMMO will tell you here of course. Soon, a stylish emblem will be in your pocket, which you can equip in-game and pay tribute to a fallen hero.
To celebrate Bungie Day and the company’s 30th anniversary, there are also more small goodies, but only the emblem “Spicy Ramen” is free.
This is how you get the item: “A Classy Order” is hidden behind the code “YRC-C3D-YNC”. You don’t redeem the number combination in Destiny 2 itself, but on Bungie’s website.
Go to the “Redeem page” at the top right. First, log in with your profile and select your preferred platform. Then choose “Redeem Code” and enter “YRC-C3D-YNC” in the free field below – or copy the code here and paste it in.
These two links lead you directly to the appropriate place – just copy the code and paste it there:
Why is the emblem so special? The emblem is a direct reference to Cayde-6, the Guardian who passed away in 2018. The wisecracker, space cowboy, and lovable scoundrel was the favorite NPC of many players.
At the start of the celebrated Forsaken DLC, Cayde was murdered, setting the stage for the Western revenge story of the expansion.
Ramen was Cayde’s favorite food, and there is also a corresponding snack bar in the Tower.
Cayde-6’s successor has still not been found even now, nearly 3 years later. Although Bungie is putting everything in place to soon replace Cayde … with a candidate that many would rather see dead than alive.
Guardians celebrate Bungie Day every year on July 7th. The community started the tradition because Bungie is obsessed with the number 7. The Destiny developers then adopted the day. Thus, the 7 is hidden in logos, in triumphs, or also on medals in Destiny and the Halo series.
Every year, there are small gifts, thank you speeches, and fond memories shared for the unofficial holiday. This year there are also significant discounts in the official Bungie Store. Those who donate generously for a good cause will enjoy more emblems and other cosmetics for Destiny 2. Of course, they want to raise $777,000 for disaster victims. More about these activities here on the official Bungie site (via bungie.net).
For Bungie Day, the studio also announced an announcement, typically Bungie. We now know when we will learn more about the new expansion Witch Queen. Mark August 24th in your calendars, as the most important stream of the year for Guardians is set to air.
When will Halo meet Destiny? Many Guardians believed a leak that predicted that the 30th anniversary on July 7 would herald a crossover between Destiny 2 and Halo Infinite. Even talk of a new Exotic was mentioned.
Well, the missing Exotic is still missing, and there is still no trace of the Master Chief in Destiny. But the anniversary lasts the whole year. Who knows, maybe Bungie will still surprise us, for example, when Halo Infinite is released in the fall of 2021.
What do you think of the birthday gift that Bungie is giving Guardians today? Are you equipping the new emblem straight away and honoring Cayde? Have you secretly been looking forward to the crossover between Destiny and Halo? Let us know in the comments.
Anyone who wants to play Minecraft must be 19 years old. At least in South Korea. A law and Microsoft are currently causing players to take to the streets.
If you think of a video game that appeals to all age groups and is especially suitable for children, many will instinctively have Minecraft in mind. After all, the game offers extreme creativity, has child-friendly graphics, and is generally quite harmless. This should be the case worldwide – one would think. Not so in South Korea. There, Minecraft can only be played if you are 19 years or older.
What happened? In South Korea, Minecraft players have been informed that they will need to create an Xbox Live account if they want to continue to access Minecraft. The catch: Xbox Live is only permitted in South Korea for those 19 and older.
Why is this only happening now? In South Korea, there is the so-called “Cinderella Law”, which prohibits children under 16 from playing online video games between midnight and 6:00 AM. Despite this law, it has been possible to log in through the Mojang account (from the Minecraft developer) and thus circumvent this restriction.
This is particularly absurd since Minecraft was classified as “12+” by the South Korean equivalent of the USK.
Microsoft had already begun converting Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts some time ago. Therefore, these now fall under new rules – and so does Minecraft, which can now only be legally played by adults in South Korea.
More about Minecraft on MeinMMO can be found here:
A petition aims to change this: South Korean players are quite upset about the new rules and have even started a petition. It expresses concern that “South Korea will be the only country in the world where Minecraft is considered a game for adults.” This is particularly absurd since “Minecraft is seen as the epitome of educational and creative games.” The petition has already gathered over 91,500 signatures within a few days – it seems some players want a change (via gamesindustry.biz).
That Minecraft is classified for ages 19 and up is somewhat peculiar – but sometimes the laws in individual countries are indeed strange and create curious exceptions.

League of Legends is getting a new champion with Akshan. Theoretically, he can revive all 4 teammates at once. Many players are already fearing that Akshan will soon receive a nerf.
What kind of champion is this? Akshan is a new ranged champion intended for the midlane. He is supposed to focus particularly on duels and roaming between lanes. His model was teased in artwork a few weeks ago.
Riot Games has now officially introduced Akshan in a video. For the first time, the champion’s abilities were showcased.
Akshan can revive teammates and has other strong abilities
This is what Akshan can do:
Passive: Every third hit from an attack or ability deals bonus damage. If the target was an enemy champion, Akshan receives a shield. After an attack, Akshan fires a second attack with less damage. This can be canceled, granting Akshan additional movement speed.
Q – Avengerang: Akshan throws a boomerang that deals physical damage, reveals enemies, and increases its range whenever an enemy is hit. Enemies can be hit when the boomerang is thrown and when it returns.
W – Going Rogue:
Passive – Whenever an enemy champion kills an ally of Akshan, they are marked as a rogue. When Akshan is involved in a kill of a rogue (an assist is enough), he gains additional gold. Additionally, all allies killed by the rogue are revived at the base. All other opponents then lose the rogue status.
Active – Akshan becomes briefly camouflaged, and if he is near terrain, he remains permanently camouflaged. During this time, Akshan can see the trails of rogues and gains movement speed and mana regeneration while moving towards them.
E – Heroic Swing: Akshan fires a grappling shot that sticks into the first terrain it hits. As long as the hook is embedded in the terrain, he can reactivate the ability to swing in the direction of the terrain and fire projectiles that deal normal damage to the next enemy. He can also cast the ability again while swinging to jump towards the mouse pointer and fire a final shot. The cooldown resets when Akshan is involved in a kill.
R – Comeuppance: Akshan aims at an enemy champion and begins to channel his weapon to load projectiles. At the end of the duration or after reactivating the ability, Akshan fires all loaded projectiles, with each dealing normal damage based on the lost health to the first affected minion, champion, or building. Akshan can move during the channeling and use Heroic Swing.
You can watch his abilities in this video by SkinSpotlights on YouTube:

What are the initial reactions like? Most players on YouTube and Reddit assume that Akshan is too strong and will quickly receive a nerf. They particularly focus on his ability “W – Going Rogue,” with which he can revive teammates:
User Raikaria2 sees a huge problem in him: “He is literally game-breaking. As long as he has the revival in his abilities, he will be 100% picked or banned. He has an auto-win mechanic for games beyond 25 minutes.” (via Reddit)
RyanDoctrine even believes that the ability will be completely removed over time: “I can’t wait for the ability to change to ‘Akshan has to get the kill’ and then be completely removed in 8 to 10 months.” (via Reddit)
Matibohemio8 perfectly summarizes the situation for many players: “A lot of mobility and escape options that reset on a kill, plus invisibility and reviving teammates. Another champion that is a lot of fun to play, but super annoying when opponents have him.” (via Reddit)
What do you think about Akshan? Are you excited about the new champion or do you think his abilities are really too strong and frustrating?
A discussion also arose around Akshan regarding the appearance of champions. Many male LoL champs from recent years have been given the same look and a six-pack. Recently, this also affected the champion Thresh, who transformed from a creepy monster into a sexy E-boy:
If you’re looking for a crazy co-op game on Steam, you should put The Sabotage on your radar. The multiplayer co-op game takes elements from the indie hit Among Us. MeinMMO shows you what kind of game it is.
What is The Sabotage? It is a multiplayer co-op game developed by the studio Yeyuna, which also serves as the publisher.
In The Sabotage, you must dig for gold together with other players in a mine. You start a round with four players in a mine, and gold veins are placed at certain points.
However, there’s a catch that reminds you of the indie game Among Us: One of your buddies is a saboteur and must prevent you from getting to the gold.
Here is the trailer for the game:

Dig for Gold and Let Tunnels Collapse on Your Friends
This is how The Sabotage works: Each match takes place on a randomly generated map. A game lasts 10 minutes.
Each game consists of 4 players
There are three diggers and one saboteur
As a saboteur, you must not get caught
You can rely on tools like pickaxes, headlamps, dynamite, and batteries
If no gold is found by the end of the time, the saboteur wins.
As a saboteur, you can for example destroy support beams with an axe and make entire tunnels collapse. Dynamite is also available to cause even more destruction.
However, there aren’t many more details available yet. The description does mention that you can play specifically with friends or strangers worldwide (via Steam).
In WoW Burning Crusade Classic there is currently a big problem with the balance between Horde and Alliance. Because the Horde is so popular, Blizzard has even experimented with a new system in PvP. However, no solution seems to really satisfy the players.
What is going on? On many PvP servers of Burning Crusade Classic, there are currently more players who have a character in the Horde than players representing the Alliance. Currently, 61% of all characters are Horde and only 39% are Alliance (via Ironforge.pro).
This results in a noticeable imbalance in PvP and sometimes long wait times in the Battlegrounds.
Although this problem already existed in 2007 with the release of The Burning Crusade, at that time the players were not as focused on maximizing their builds as they are today.
Why is there a problem at all? Behind the balance problems of Horde and Alliance are two points:
On the one hand, the Horde offers more diverse races for many. With Orcs, Undead, Blood Elves, Trolls, and Tauren, there is something for almost every type of player.
On the other hand, there are special racial abilities that are simply stronger with the Horde. The Undead, for example, have the ability to avoid abilities like Sleep or Fear for 5 seconds. This makes them a strong PvP race.
Even in WoW Classic, there was a slight imbalance. Back then, about 53% played a character in the Horde. However, PvP took place mainly in the open world or in large Battlegrounds.
However, due to the new PvP arenas for 2v2 or 3v3 that Burning Crusade Classic has introduced, players want to get the most out of their characters. And that especially makes the Undead so popular.
In the WoW Classic subreddit, the topic of faction balance dominates the threads. 13 of the 25 posts with the most upvotes in the last week revolved around this topic (via reddit).
Of the 8 largest Burning Crusade Classic servers, 7 are dominated by the Horde. On Herod and Sulfuras, over 70% of the players are Horde (Screenshot from Ironforge.pro).
No solution is really effective: The imbalance, however, means that both factions ultimately lose:
If a server is dominated by Horde players, they gank the few Alliance players even more often.
The latter lose interest and transfer to a server with more Alliance players or directly switch to the Horde.
This, however, leads to fewer and fewer players being available for dungeons, raids, and other content.
A downward spiral begins for Alliance players, and therefore Horde players lack opponents in the open world and an enemy to focus on.
This also does not change with Blizzard’s latest update. Because especially when Horde players can compete against other Horde players in Battlegrounds in the future, there is even less reason to start a character in the Alliance.
The user Viaroka visualized the problem in reddit with an interesting picture:

The only real solution would probably be an intervention in the racial abilities so that Horde players no longer have an advantage. But that would be going too far for many Classic fans.
For Blizzard, it is currently almost impossible to solve the problems with faction balance.
What do you think about the imbalance between Horde and Alliance? Are you personally affected by the problem? And do you see a solution for it?
Aside from the balance issues, WoW Burning Crusade Classic is a good and interesting MMORPG. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus explains to you why getting started is worthwhile:
Destiny 2 has finally revealed when we will learn more about the new expansion Witch Queen. In August, Bungie will hold a showcase for the DLC in a live stream. MeinMMO summarizes the most important information for you.
When will the showcase take place? Bungie announced on Twitter that the showcase will take place on August 24. Then we can finally expect new information about the Witch Queen DLC.
We will summarize what we know so far about the DLC and what the reactions to the announcement look like. Here you can find the Twitter post announcing it:

The DLC has been postponed, but the enemy is already active in the background
What is the Witch Queen DLC about? In the major expansion, the Witch Queen Savathûn will be our adversary. She is the sister of Oryx, the Taken King. Veterans will likely remember him from Destiny 1. He was one of the biggest enemies in the game back then.
Since her death, she has been pulling the strings as a villain in the background, and even her indirect influence makes life difficult for Guardians. By now, we even know that she has already disguised herself among the Guardians in the Dreaming City.
In the DLC, we will likely begin the witch hunt and go directly against Savathûn. However, much more is not yet known about the DLC.
At least we might now have an idea of what the witch looks like. Game Director Joe Blackburn posted a strange image in a Twitter post that possibly shows Savathûn in the shadows:

When is the DLC supposed to be released? Originally, a release was planned for this year. But Bungie already postponed the date to 2022 in February. We do not have an exact release date yet.
Players hope for a date but remain cautious otherwise
How do players react to the announcement? Reactions on Twitter range from excitement to skepticism. There are also new speculations, because in the posted image with the witch symbol, it also says: “Survive the truth.” Here are some comments:
Darkwolf245542 belongs to the skeptical fans: “Yes, I am waiting for tests for this DLC because I don’t want a repeat of Shadowkeep and Beyond Light, both mediocre DLCs.” (via Twitter)
D1 Alpha Vet is already a lot more euphoric: “I don’t think my social life will survive this. I am ready!” (via Twitter)
Harry James Coulson directly addresses the speculations: “[…] probably this is the new season and the truth is about Osiris and how he was corrupted by Savathûn.” (via Twitter)
Through the photo of the supposed shadow of the witch, players now also suspect that there will be a first glimpse of Savathûn with Season 15. It remains to be seen whether that will actually happen.
When does the next season start? Currently, Season 14 is running, which ends on August 24, the same day the showcase takes place. Season 15 will therefore start on either August 24 or August 25. It is also the last season of this year; the next section will thus already be initiated with the new expansion.
Destiny 2 received on July 6 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X /S, as well as on PC and Google Stadia a new, extensive mid-season update – Patch 3.2.1. The servers are still causing problems a day later. We have all the times and information about what is changing and what new content you can look forward to.
In Destiny 2, Season 14 has been running since May 2021. The still unknown new season will start in August. But today, Bungie is providing the action MMO with an extensive mid-season update. This brings fresh air into PvP and new content for PvE.
Update 07.07. 19:15: Bungie announced (via Twitter) that they are currently investigating the login problems. There are now increasing queues and error codes in Destiny 2 during the reset time.
Update 07.07. – 7:00 AM: The Destiny servers are also struggling with issues and error codes like “Weasel” and “Honeydew” hours after the new patch 3.2.1. Bungie reported in the morning hours that players should expect queues until the reset on July 7 (7:00 PM):

The update 3.2.1 has been available on platforms since 7 PM. On PlayStation5, it is 637 MB in size. Here follows the original message:
But before you participate in the new summer event, test the additional weapons, or are annoyed/happy about buffs and nerfs, you need to download a new patch. Here you can find everything about update 3.2.1, which comes with a server downtime, thus a forced break.
MeinMMO will update this article throughout July 6, so you don’t miss any important information.
Maintenance on 06.07. – Schedule and Server Downtime
These times are important today:
At 6:00 PM German time, maintenance work will begin.
6:45 PM the servers will go offline and all players will be kicked out of ongoing activities.
From 7:00 PM, the Destiny servers will come back online and the new update 3.2.1 will roll out worldwide on all platforms.
To play Destiny 2, you need to download (and copy) the update, right after that you should be able to start.
The maintenance work is expected to be fully completed by 8:00 PM.
After the update, are you going to farm the new armors and weapons?
Don’t forget: Until the end of maintenance, there may be login problems and queues when logging in. If the update is not live at 7:00 PM on the dot, that’s completely normal. Also, during the maintenance period, third-party applications as well as the official companion app can only be used to a limited extent or not at all.
What changes are made by update 3.2.1 today in Destiny 2?
According to Bungie, today they are delivering the most extensive mid-season update to the Guardians ever. In other words, there should be as many changes as there are usually only at the start of a new season, and not like now in the middle of the current season of the Splicer. Here’s a preview:
In addition, some perks on your weapons will change, and troublesome bugs will also be addressed.
As a note, you should keep an eye on the Sleeper Simulant, it’s supposed to hit hard after the patch today.
At gunsmith Banshee-44 in the Tower, purchasable weapons should finally be able to be turned into masterworks correctly.
This is not all the changes that are coming to the game today. Only when we have access to the patch notes can we look at the overall picture of update 3.2.1.
The new update makes the Sleeper stronger, other Tales of a Dead Man weaker
What do the patch notes for update 3.21 of Destiny 2 say?
For every update or hotfix, Bungie publishes official patch notes. Here all changes, fixes, and new features are listed.
Currently, the patch notes for the latest update 3.2.1 are not available in German. The information should be provided by Bungie during the course of today evening. Until then, we have linked the original English change log here for you:
Did you expect such an extensive update deep into the current season 14 and are you looking forward to the changes? Or are you annoyed with every patch that it goes live exactly when you have time to play? Let us know your opinion in the comments.

A new insider report from journalist Jason Schreier speaks of a live-service model for the Assassin’s Creed series, which is traditionally a single-player experience. Schreier compares it to Fortnite and GTA 5 Online – and many players are quite unhappy about it.
This is the situation:
A forthcoming project from Assassin’s Creed is named “Infinity” and is expected to receive a live service, a “massive online platform” that evolves over time.
Infinity is said to combine multiple settings and will not be released before 2024.
The model is allegedly inspired by big hits like Fortnite and GTA 5.
The two Ubisoft studios, Montreal and Quebec, which normally alternate working on the AC series, are collaborating on the title.
Where does the rumor come from? Jason Schreier is considered a well-connected journalist in the gaming industry with close contacts to employees in many companies. In a post on Bloomberg, he reported on Infinity (via Bloomberg.com).
It states that the upcoming Assassin’s Creed is to become an “online platform” that links multiple settings together. These games are expected to differ in gameplay and appearance – however, there is no further information on this.
Further details get lost in the text, only a comparison with Fortnite and GTA 5 is mentioned, but this is solely regarding the service model. There is no quote from employees on this. Ubisoft has at least confirmed that Infinity exists and that the studios in Montreal and Quebec are working on it (via Ubisoft.com).
How is this supposed to work? Schreier does not elaborate further on what exactly Infinity and the live service model entail. In a tweet, he writes: “The core idea is that Infinity will be a massive online platform that includes various settings and games. I don’t know if multiplayer will play a role.”
It remains open whether Infinity will become an MMO or in what direction the live service will manifest. From the comparison with Fortnite and GTA 5, ideas emerge such as:
a battle pass with various contents
worlds where players can interact with one another
interactive collections to start other AC games from Infinity
social hubs where players can showcase their achievements
Assassin’s Creed has had social interactions between players before, albeit indirectly. In the latest installment, Valhalla, for instance, you can discover the corpses of other players and avenge their deaths. The map often features snapshots from the community.
There is even a feature in Valhalla that allows you to help friends: you can enhance your own “Joms Viking” and your friends can hire him for their own team. MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn even thought that Valhalla could make a good MMO:
The reaction of players to the announcement has been mixed to negative. In the subreddit for Assassin’s Creed, many players predict that this step will mark the end of the series (via reddit.com). Some see a problem in the collaboration between the studios – which harbor a certain rivalry – but above all the departure from single-player experiences is souring many. Over at GameStar, user dodo00d mentioned that he would lack the time for such an Assassin’s Creed:
“Yeah, that’s it for me. I’ve really played all the parts, even the spin-offs at least once, some even multiple times. But for live service, I lack the time and money. Requiescat in pace, Assassin’s Creed” (via GameStar.de).
However, some players can warm to the idea. Reddit user Nelmquist1999, for instance, wishes to explore the worlds of Assassin’s Creed with his friends: “It would be cool to jump between different eras with friends using the Helix menu. That would be really great” (via reddit.com).
A similar idea, that simply several AC games are connected in an additional environment like Abstergo or another world, seems plausible to many players. However, how and if the live service will ultimately be implemented remains open.
By the way, service models have been a significant topic for Ubisoft for a while now. Already in 2018, there was the idea of making games endless:
As the time for FIFA 21 is slowly coming to an end, the successor FIFA 22 is already on the horizon. But when is the new FIFA installment actually coming out? We at MeinMMO will tell you when you can expect a release.
In the past years, we usually knew about the release of the respective FIFA title by June. However, this time, it is a bit different. As of now (7th of July), there are still no official information about FIFA 22. Neither the release date, licenses, nor features are known at this point.
But that should change on July 22, because EA is hosting the online event “EA Play Live”, where new game titles from the software developer will be officially presented. There, FIFA 22 should finally be presented, and a release date announced. It would then be about a month later than in previous years.
When is the release of FIFA 22?
When could FIFA 22 be released? Since there is currently no official information about the release of FIFA 22, we can only speculate at the moment. It should be clear, however, that the new football simulation will probably be released in the fall between September and October 2021. This is a tradition, as the games have been released during this period since FIFA 2003.
Here are the release dates of the last years:
FIFA 21 on October 9, 2020
FIFA 20 on September 24, 2019
FIFA 19 on September 28, 2018
FIFA 18 on September 29, 2017
FIFA 17 on September 27, 2016
Based on the release dates of previous years, we assume that FIFA 22 will again be released around late September or early October. September 24 and October 1 sound like plausible release dates, especially considering the unusually late presentation of FIFA 22 and the fact that many FIFA titles have been released on Fridays.
We remain excited and will keep you updated. Are you looking forward to the release of FIFA 22? Let us know in the comments!
What we think should be improved in FIFA 22 can be found here:
The final video from the raid of World of Warcraft Patch 9.1 was not well received by many. There is fierce discussion.
Even beforehand, it was predicted that the cinematic for the finale of the raid “Sanctum of Domination” would divide the player base and be discussed controversially. And – not surprisingly – it turned out exactly like that. However, how big the dissatisfaction within the player base actually is can also be well seen from the ratings on YouTube, as the video performs quite poorly there.
Spoiler warning: This article discusses the outcome of the raid “Sanctum of Domination”. Those who do not want to be spoiled should not continue reading.
What does the video show? In the video, we see the end of the raid Sanctum of Domination. The Jailer achieves his goal, gets the final seal, and becomes whole again. He explains that he wants to create a new reality in which everyone serves him. This triggers a change of heart in Sylvanas. She realizes that the Jailer is not adhering to the common plan and is pursuing his own goals.
Sylvanas stands against Zovaal, but he simply stops her. Before he disappears, he returns a part of her soul that was taken from her earlier. The video ends with an unconscious Sylvanas and the heroes of Azeroth approaching her threateningly.

What are the YouTube ratings? Predominantly negative. At the current moment (07.07.2021, 15:15), there are about 3,200 positive ratings against over 7,300 negative ones. Roughly speaking, 70% of the people who rated the video feel negatively about it. Accordingly, the video is mostly discussed with negative and sometimes nasty comments.
The ratings are predominantly negative.
What are people saying: Mainly the critics vent their frustration under the video, sometimes quite unsubstantiated. Many comments like the following are accumulating:
“The only ‘redemption arc’ we need is for the story writing team of WoW.”
“The Jailer wants to reshape reality because even he knows how poorly it is written.”
“I really feel sorry that you all waited nearly 8 months for this.”
“Chris Metzen, please come back.”
“It’s fantastic that the official story has turned into a bad Sylvanas fanfiction.”
“Me, after playing Warlords of Draenor: Well, the story writing can’t get ANY worse. Me now: Surprised Pikachu face”
However, there are also some players who found the video quite good and are looking forward to the further development of the story.
“This is… better than I expected. Zovaal also looks really cool!”
“How can you find this ‘cringe’? Sylvanas has always strived for freedom, so it makes perfect sense that she doesn’t want to end up as Zovaal’s slave.”
“As expected, he [Zovaal] had a fragment of her soul. I love that!”
“You guys really need to relax and enjoy the story. I thought it was really cool.”
“I mean, everything pointed to the story going in this direction. It’s kind of weird to be upset about it now. I’m satisfied.”

Many nasty memes: Also in the World of Warcraft subreddit, there is lively discussion about the video. As is usual on Reddit, there are already plenty of memes that could best be described as “mean.” Here are some of the highlights with the most upvotes, like the one from matijwow:

Here is an overview of the DLC content:
“Crimes and Opportunities”: New missions and loot
Quick Draw Club with four new Battle Passes

Red Dead Online: Blood Money – Crimes and Opportunities
This is what you can expect: In “Crimes and Opportunities,” the main focus is on retrieving the new currency “Capitale” for your employers. This currency was originally introduced by Martelli to establish an exchange system and avoid tax laws.
This seems to have gotten out of hand, and a large portion of the Capitale is now in the wrong hands. You are to retrieve the Capitale for Bronte and Martelli. If you find Capitale, you will be rewarded by Martelli with criminal “opportunities” that bring you special loot.
How do you obtain Capitale? There are no details about this yet. Apparently, Martelli has entrusted some shady individuals with the location of the currency. You must seek out these contacts. This will unlock the “Crimes,” which will then offer various activities. These include:
Multi-part heists
Stagecoach robberies
Kidnappings
Debt collections
There are supposed to be more crimes that have not yet been presented. You can complete these crimes alone or with your crew. During missions, you can find Capitale in hidden boxes or the pockets of your victims who stand in your way.
Capitale can also be found in the open world on empty farms and in camps. Once you have collected enough, you will unlock an opportunity.
What is that? Opportunities are likely larger missions that you receive from Martelli. The goal of these opportunities is to stop a rising senator in the state of Lemoyne. He is a thorn in the side of Martelli’s boss, Angelo Bronte, as he influences his activities. Each opportunity offers a different mission type and is designed to undermine the politician’s position.
You will be sneaking, eavesdropping, and finding “the three jewels of the West” to bring to Martelli. However, not all three opportunities will be available at the start of Blood Money. Only the first one will be playable directly on July 13, with the others to follow later.
Quick Draw Club brings 4 new Battle Passes
What is the Quick Draw Club? It consists of four new Battle Passes that are to be released sequentially over the next months. Like before with the Bounty Hunters, there will also be exclusive benefits and rewards for buyers.
How much do the passes cost? You will need to pay 25 gold bars per pass. This amounts to about 10 Euros. You can earn these 25 gold bars back through the 25 ranks. Additionally, you will receive the Halloween Pass #2 for free if you buy all four passes.
What else is there? Additionally, some pocket and ability pamphlets are returning that were previously available in the Outlaw Pass. This includes, for example, the unlocking of fast travel from the wilderness camp. You will find these items for sale with the update at the fence.
Furthermore, outfits from the Outlaw Passes will return for those who missed them previously. This includes some outfits from the Van der Linde gang:
Marston’s outfit
Clelland outfit
Arthur’s Haraway outfit
Bill Williamson’s Dedham outfit
Javier’s Zapatero outfit
Moreover, the update will also introduce DLSS support for Nvidia’s RTX graphics cards in the game. This ensures better frame rates and performance.
What is DLSS? With DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), lower textures are scaled to higher resolutions. This can improve performance at high resolutions.
There is no more information available with the announcement yet. You can distract yourself with some bonuses while waiting for the DLC release.
Numerous bonuses until the release of Blood Money
This is how your wait will be sweetened: Until release, you have the opportunity to grab various bonuses. These include juicy discounts, bonuses on experience points, and cash prizes.
Here is an overview:
There are double experience points and RDO dollars in all Showdown modes and in “A Land of Opportunities”.
Additionally, you will receive a 30% discount on an ability card upgrade if you win a round in any Showdown mode.
If you complete “Kill Them, One by One” from “A Land of Opportunities”, you will receive a free treasure map.
If you win a Showdown mode and are a moonshiner with a rank over 100, you will receive a discount of 3 gold bars on a bar decor.
Players with a rank over 100 will receive a 50% discount on a weapon as a loyalty bonus.
For modifying a weapon, all players will receive a 40% discount on a revolver plus 200 rounds of express ammunition.
This week there are also no rank restrictions on weapons and pamphlets from the fence.
How long are these bonuses in the game? They are active until the release of Blood Money on July 13. So if you haven’t played for a while, you might warm up for the DLC.
What do you think of the new DLC for Red Dead Online? Will the new content bring you back to the game, or does it leave you cold? Or are you loyal players anyway? Let us know your opinion in the comments.

Fortnite: Battle Royale has been harshly criticized by a minister from Indonesia. He demands a ban on Fortnite in his country because it allegedly requires players to destroy a holy site of Islam.
What is the situation? Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of Indonesia, wants to ban Fortnite. The reason is religious in nature. According to a statement made to CNN Indonesia, the minister claims to have heard that one must shoot in the al-Harām Mosque in Mecca in Fortnite and even destroy the holy Kaaba (the central sanctuary of Islam) to obtain new weapons:
At least five times a day, we face the Kaaba, no matter where we are in the world, to perform the obligatory prayers […] I have been told that in this game [Fortnite], there are icons similar to the Kaaba that must be destroyed to obtain new weapons and to reach the next level.
This, in turn, is unacceptable for the minister, and he thus demanded a ban on the game in Indonesia. He referred to a fatwa from Egypt, which also calls on all devout Muslims not to play Fortnite anymore.
The game Fortnite is against noble, religious values. Therefore, I have instructed my team to immediately review and ban the game. Additionally, we want to issue a warning to developers to be more cautious in the future.
Fatwa? What is that? A fatwa is a recommendation issued by Muslim religious scholars advising believers on certain behaviors or prohibiting them.
What exactly does the minister mean? This statement may surprise Fortnite fans, as there have been and are no mosques in Fortnite. The uproar is mainly due to a map from the Creative Mode, which was released in 2019.
A fan apparently actually built a mosque with a block resembling the Kaaba in the center. In a video, however, only a (apparently German) user is seen admiring his creation and even uses a commendable emote aimed at the presumed ‘Kaaba.’

The minister wants police action against Creative Mode users
How did the situation progress? The Indonesian minister, in the meantime, requested a statement from the developer Epic. They assured via Facebook to the minister that Epic respects all religions and that the content that caused the uproar is not even an official part of the game. Furthermore, one cannot destroy the supposed Kaaba in the Creative Mode map.
This is how the minister wants to resolve the issue: On behalf of the minister, another Indonesian minister named Johnny G. Plate has responded regarding the further course of action.
Fortnite has clarified that the element in the video (similar to the Kaaba) is user-generated content (UGC) created by users in the form of Creative Mode. […]
As a follow-up to the dissemination of the content, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics is coordinating with the Indonesian National Police to track down the perpetrators who created the content and take action against them.
To what extent the Indonesian police can take action against a content creator in Fortnite internationally remains to be seen.
Legal entanglements surrounding Fortnite are nothing new. There have been several court issues in the past concerning Epic Games’ battle royale game. The latest being the epic lawsuit against Apple.

Today, on July 7, 2021, the weekly raid hour in Pokémon GO starts again. In the level 5 raids, you will encounter Deoxys in its defense form this time. We at MeinMMO have taken a look at whether the raid hour is worth it and which counters you should use.
What is a raid hour? Every Wednesday, an hour-long raid event takes place in Pokémon GO. During this short event, level 5 raids with legendary or mysterious Pokémon start in almost all gyms.
During the raid hour this week, you can encounter the mysterious Pokémon Deoxys. This Pokémon has several forms. However, you will currently only find the defense form in the raid. We have summarized all the information about Deoxys in the defense form for you.
Raid Hour with Deoxys (Defense Form) – Information and Counters
When does it start? The raid hour with Deoxys (defense form) starts today at 6:00 PM local time. You can already see black raid eggs over the gyms before it starts, which will hatch on time. The event lasts one hour and ends at 7:00 PM. The raids will then become less frequent.
These counters you should use: Deoxys is a mysterious Pokémon from Generation 3. It is one of the so-called shapeshifters, which is why there are several different forms of Deoxys to catch in the game. Besides the normal form, it also has an attack, speed, and defense form. The latter is currently available in level 5 raids.
Deoxys is a Psychic-type Pokémon, which means it is weak to Dark-, Ghost-, and Bug-type attacks. You should take advantage of this weakness and put together a corresponding team.
How many trainers do you need? If you have the most effective counters, you can defeat Deoxys (defense form) with just three trainers. However, we recommend bringing one or two more trainers.
If you find a larger group for the raids, it will definitely be a bit easier. You can also invite friends for remote raids or have them invite you.
Is there a Shiny variant of Deoxys in defense form? Unfortunately, the shiny variant of Deoxys in defense form is not yet available in the game.
Is the raid hour worth it?
According to the overview from PvPoke, the defense form of Deoxys has rather poor stats in terms of attack and stamina (via pvpoke.com). However, it performs well in defense. Since it is not impressive in attack, it is not a suitable candidate for use in raids.
However, the situation is different in the PvP league. Due to its high defense, you can confidently use it there. So if you need a strong Psychic-type Pokémon for the PvP league, you should definitely take advantage of the raid hour. It is also suitable for completing the Pokédex.
Shiny hunters among you will, however, have no luck regarding a shiny specimen. The shiny version of Deoxys in defense form is still missing from the game.
If you’re more interested in Pokémon GOthis might also interest you:
What’s next? You can continue to catch Deoxys in defense form in the game after today’s raid hour. It will still be available as a raid boss in level 5 raids until July 16, 2021, at 10:00 AM local time. Additionally, there is currently the anniversary celebration for the 5th birthday of Pokémon GO taking place. We have summarized what to expect at this event for you.
Will you participate in the raid hour today and secure a strong Deoxys (defense form)? Or have you already caught enough and are skipping this week’s raid hour? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments here at MeinMMO.

The update 17.10 for Fortnite is just a hotfix, but it still brings some new features to the game. These include the new alien nanites, which will be useful in combat. Additionally, there is a new mythical weapon and changes to some locations on the map. MeinMMO summarizes the new features for you.
What exactly is included in the update? The biggest new feature of update 17.10 is the alien nanites. With them, you can upgrade and transform your weapons. You can also actively use them in combat, allowing you to develop new strategies.
In addition to the nanites, Zyg and Choppy’s new mythical Ray Gun enters the game. Also fitting the alien theme, some POIs like Holly Hedges or Believer Beach will be revamped and altered with the update.
We will show you how the alien nanites work and introduce the other new features.
Alien nanites will be useful to you in combat
How do the new alien nanites work? The new item can primarily be used in two ways:
The weapon you receive depends on which weapon type you equip with the nanites. This works with assault rifles, submachine guns, and sniper rifles.
You can also use alien nanites as a tactical weapon. When you throw the item, a kind of force field is created at the place where it lands. In this force field, gravity is slowed down, and opponents also take damage. Players leaving the force field temporarily take no fall damage.
You can see what this looks like in action:

Where can you find alien nanites? You can find the new item in regular chests, or you can collect it as ground loot. However, they have an increased spawn rate near the mother ship. In competitive mode, nanites are disabled.
New mythical weapon – Zyg and Choppy’s Ray Gun
What kind of weapon is this? This is a stronger variant of the Kymera Gun, and it fires a powerful laser beam that deals significant damage.
Where can you find the weapon? Go to Hydro16. There you will find the boss in the building that you need to defeat for this weapon. But be careful, as he can take a lot of damage and uses the laser weapon against you.

What changes on the map? The biggest change has been made at Holly Hedges. The POI has been overrun by aliens. There are now heaps of parasites. The once-friendly village has turned into a full-blown alien village.
There are also changes at Believer Beach. The party there is apparently over, and only the remnants of the decorations are left. The map seems to be increasingly affected by the attacking aliens. It remains to be seen what will happen in the next major update.
When is the next update for Fortnite coming? So far, July 13 has been discussed as the release for 17.20. Some assumed that the patch was already released on July 6. However, that was update 17.10 and the hotfix. The next major update is still to come.
What can we expect? So far, three new features are known. There will be a skin for LeBron James, and new POIs will be added to the game. In the west of the island, there are expected to be further problems with the aliens. Here’s the overview: Everything we know about the new Fortnite update 17.20

The Chinese company Tencent wants to ensure that children and teenagers in China play fewer video games with facial recognition. The rules are strict: Playing is completely prohibited after 10 PM. There are also strong restrictions otherwise.
They are only allowed to play for 1.5 hours a day on weekdays.
On weekends and public holidays, their playing time is limited to 3 hours.
Playing between 10 PM and 8 AM is generally prohibited.
With these rules, the Chinese government aims to address the risk of gaming addiction. The government is concerned about the declining performance of the youth.
This is how Tencent really wants to enforce the law: The huge tech corporation Tencent has a market capitalization of 687 billion US dollars. This places the company worldwide in 7th place, ahead of Tesla and just one place behind Facebook (via companiesmarketcap).
Tencent has launched a new program in China: It is called “Midnight Patrol”.
The program requires “facial recognition” from verified accounts who want to play for a certain period after 10 PM.
Those who refuse to participate in this facial recognition or fail to identify themselves will be classified as “underage”. They will be kicked out of the system and will not be allowed to play after 10 PM.
The program is aimed at identifying children and teenagers who want to avoid the playing rules applicable to their age, it is said.
The “Midnight Patrol” is active in 60 games, including the popular mobile game Honor of Kings. The program is expected to be expanded to other games: likely also to League of Legends, which belongs to Tencent.
Observers believe the system could lead Chinese youth to use VPN services to bypass facial recognition and switch to unregulated servers in Taiwan or Hong Kong.
Tencent is also keen to enforce the government’s laws because they fear an even stricter regulation of the gaming market otherwise. For a while, no new games were allowed in China:
Are there also positive voices? Many users also note that the upgrades are indeed useful – especially for those who have not yet purchased a Switch.
The Switch OLED is considered good for anyone interested who has not yet bought a Switch and is willing to pay a bit more for a better display and a LAN connection. Everyone else will have to wait until Nintendo announces a true Switch Pro.
The MeinMMO community also discusses the new Nintendo Switch OLED
What does our MeinMMO community say about it? The presentation of Nintendo is also being hotly debated in our community here on MeinMMO. The new model is controversial on MeinMMO as well. Many are disappointed with the announcement, but there are also some who find the innovations quite positive.
Wow. Absolutely not worth it if you already have the predecessor model lying around. Not worth buying for me, as LAN port and double the storage space don’t make much difference. I like Wi-Fi instead of messy cables, and storage is already available thanks to SD card. The larger display also doesn’t matter if you generally play on TV instead of in handheld mode. Why would they even release something like this? To take fans’ money. Good luck.
Our user Namma also expresses disappointment on MeinMMO and writes:
Oh God, I now wish it had remained a rumor? I’m at a loss for words…. What a disappointment.
What do positive voices in the community say? However, there are also MeinMMO readers who cannot understand the disappointment. For instance, Scaver writes on MeinMMO:
Such nonsense. The Switch is great, and a performance upgrade is simply unnecessary! The Switch is great. The new upgrades are nice to have, but also not necessary. Nintendo will definitely not be harmed by this decision. Surely the stock won’t spike, but they don’t need it to right now.
As soon as new games require a performance upgrade, one will surely come. Either as Pro or in a new generation.
In our community, there are also enough people trying to smooth over the waves. Because Nintendo never promised such a performance upgrade. Many users likely had too high expectations of Nintendo, which inevitably had to lead to disappointment with the announcement.
The community expected things that Nintendo never promised
Where does the big disappointment come from? Nintendo has not officially promised a “Nintendo Switch Pro” or a possible “performance upgrade”, but only speculated by some users.
Fans, developers, and also journalists had actively speculated about a new Nintendo Switch Pro and had talked about various performance upgrades. Things that Nintendo never promised.
Instead, Nintendo clearly stated from the beginning that one should not expect too large upgrades. Nintendo explained that there will be no new model of the Nintendo Switch in the near future (via IGN.com)
In a conversation with Kotaku, Doug Bowser, the president of “Nintendo of America”, explained that they want to focus on existing formats.
The disappointment of users is understandable, as many wish for a more powerful Nintendo Switch Pro. However, one cannot blame Nintendo for not fulfilling its promises.
What do you think? Do you find the upgrades of the Nintendo Switch OLED sensible, or are you not really interested in the improvements? Discuss with us and other users in the comments!
A user has now shown how much potential lies in the Nintendo Switch. He played the MMORPG ESO comfortably on the Switch. For this, he installed a special operating system on his Switch.
Many also believe they will not buy the new Switch OLED. The upgrades are not worth it for a new purchase of the console or do not appeal to many.

Nintendo has introduced the latest model of the Switch with the Switch OLED. However, many players are disappointed as they were hoping for a major performance upgrade. Nintendo never officially intended to announce a more powerful console.
The most important innovation is the new display: Instead of the old LEDs, an OLED is now being used. This offers especially richer colors and more brightness.
Additionally, Nintendo is expanding the storage from 32 GB to 64 GB, improving the sound, and adding a LAN port to the docking station.
What are the first reactions? The first opinions on the new OLED model are cautious, as many expected a “real” Nintendo Switch Pro. We at MeinMMO have taken a look into the community and present the opinions.
The community is disappointed with the Nintendo Switch OLED and expresses their frustration
Where is the Switch OLED being discussed? In two large reddit threads and also here on MeinMMO, there is currently a discussion about the new Nintendo Switch. Meanwhile, the announcement thread has over 10,000 comments (via reddit.com)
Where does the biggest criticism come from? The biggest criticism mainly comes from users who already own a Nintendo Switch. Many had hoped for a powerful upgrade for their current console. Therefore, many users are not impressed with the new upgrades. For instance, user JaimeFockinLannister writes on reddit (via reddit):
For me personally, this is a pretty pointless upgrade, I hardly ever use portable mode and have a LAN adapter. Did I forget something?
Mickey_777 feels similarly. He writes (via reddit.com):
I use my Switch 95% of the time as a handheld, and yet it doesn’t feel like an upgrade to me. The white is nice, but I need a bit more than that and an OLED screen to justify buying a new [console]. Good for those who haven’t gotten a Switch yet.
Many also believe they will not buy the new Switch OLED. The upgrades are not worth it for a new purchase of the console or do not appeal to many.
Are there also positive voices? Many users also note that the upgrades are indeed useful – especially for those who have not yet purchased a Switch.
The Switch OLED is considered good for anyone interested who has not yet bought a Switch and is willing to pay a bit more for a better display and a LAN connection. Everyone else will have to wait until Nintendo announces a true Switch Pro.

A new MMORPG known as Chimeraland has recently been introduced for Mobile and PC. In it, you explore the mystical lands from an ancient Chinese literary work and create fantastic beasts as characters.
What is Chimeraland? Chimeraland is an upcoming MMORPG for PC, Android, and iOS. It will feature an open world that you can freely explore. Along the way, you will encounter all sorts of bizarre creatures and mystical places drawn from the ancient Chinese literary epic Shanhaijing.
Fantastic Beasts from Chinese Mythology
What are the highlights of Chimeraland? According to the developers, you can create a character from a multitude of options in Chimeraland. In addition to boring humans, bizarre beasts are also possible. So if you’ve always wanted to run around as a beastman, fox spirit, or strange bird, Chimeraland might be the game for you.
Additionally, you can find and catch all sorts of fantastic beasts in the game. According to the initial announcement, you can also somehow eat the creatures and thereby absorb their abilities, but this is said to be risky.

The rumor mill is churning, and a new leak speaks of fresh Icon cards for FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. We at MeinMMO reveal the leak and tell you which new Icon cards could be expected in the next FIFA installment.
This is what it’s about: Several FUT channels on Twitter report on a new leak regarding FIFA 22. It is said that EA has adjusted the FIFA code to add new Icon cards. Names of major football stars are being mentioned, who previously had no Icon cards in FIFA 21 and have already ended their careers.
This is a strong indication of new icons. However, it is unclear why the cards have shown up in the code of FIFA 21. Perhaps EA will release new Icon cards in an unknown event for FIFA 21? If that were the case, it is very likely that the cards will also be included in FIFA 22.
Will Mario Gomez get an Icon card in FIFA 22?
The following cards are being talked about: In addition to various big names in football, leaks also mention former German international Mario Gomez. He celebrated great successes in his career with VfB Stuttgart, Bayern Munich, AC Florence, and Beşiktaş Istanbul, and is set to return as an Icon in FIFA 22. He would be the second German forward Icon alongside Miroslav Klose.
But besides Gomez, other footballers are mentioned in the code of FIFA who could be introduced as Icon cards. There is talk of Brazilian defensive legend Cafu or Wayne Rooney, who hung up his football boots earlier this year . There might also be new Icon cards for Robin Van Persie or Iker Casillas if the leak proves true.
Here is the complete list of the supposed legends for FIFA 22:
Cafu
Iker Casillas
Wayne Rooney
Robin Van Persie
Alfredo di Stefano
Luis Fabiano
Mario Gomez
Whether there is actually something to the leaks cannot be said at the moment. We are certainly excited and will wait to see which Icon cards EA will present for FIFA 22. The legends we hope to see in the next FIFA installment are presented here:
