The Elder Scrolls Online – Release of the Blackwood expansion
Genre: MMORPG | Developer: ZeniMax Online | Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia | Release Date: April 4, 2014 | Model: Buy-to-Play
What type of game is it?The Elder Scrolls Online is a theme-park MMORPG from ZeniMax, set in the world of Tamriel about 1,000 years before TES V: Skyrim.
You can experience the story of the MMO with other players or complete it alone. Due to a special technology, the world adapts to your level and progress in the story, while other players may perceive it differently.
This way, you can start right away with the areas of the latest expansion or explore the world from the beginning. When creating your character, you can choose from 10 races and 6 classes. The system is complemented by skill lines from various guilds that expand your character’s repertoire.
On June 1, the new expansion Blackwood was released for PC/Stadia, and on June 8, it comes for consoles. With Blackwood, there’s a lot of new content, including:
New antiquities that were introduced with Greymoor
Additionally, there will be new stories, quests, houses for housing, sets, and much more. With Blackwood, the tutorial of ESO is also being revamped, so newcomers should give the MMORPG a chance. But veterans will also benefit from the many new contents.
I had to accept the nearly 250 € for the purchase – I also didn’t want to hold anything “cheap”
Attaching and detaching at the desk is much easier than I remember from my old steering wheel
I am now confident that my gaming experience has improved so much that it justifies the price
With the new steering wheel, I currently mainly play Bus Simulator 2018 and have already had to put up with many remarks. But since as a bus driver, I also take on a form of a racing driver and bring my passengers swiftly from A to B, I can only laugh at the remarks.
If anyone wants to watch me drive with the new steering wheel, feel free to grab a free ticket and please sit in the back. Don’t stand by the doors!

Have you also hesitated to buy certain hardware because you didn’t know if it was worth it?
Let us know your most important hardware purchases from the past months in the comments here and explain to us why they were so important. Maybe you’ll discover some tips or an argument that ultimately convinces you to make the purchase.
After years with the controller, I finally bought a steering wheel and pedals for my gaming PC and Xbox. I use it to play simulations like Bus Simulator, but also racing games like Project Cars 2.
I’ve had my gaming racing wheel for about three weeks now. And that, although I’ve loved and played racing games and simulators for many years. I hadn’t owned a steering wheel for my games for at least 15 years. I always thought it wasn’t worth it. “And then there’s the constant packing away when you finish the game.”
But I took the plunge and decided on the Logitech G920 after my research. Moving away from the controller, I went for the steering wheel + pedals. And what can I say? I love it. Let me tell you why the purchase was worth it for me and why I could throw my initial concerns overboard.
Why was the purchase so important?
This was the situation I was in: On my PlayStation 2, I played a lot of Gran Turismo 2 back in the day. For that, I invested my saved money and bought a steering wheel + pedals. It opened the door to a completely different world for me – before that, I couldn’t steer racing cars as precisely with my analog sticks.
But instead of later buying a PS3, I switched to PC. I played racing games there first with a keyboard, and eventually with a controller. Unfortunately, I couldn’t connect the old Thrustmaster setup from my PS2 to my PC, so it has been collecting dust by itself ever since.
My love for racing games remained. Need for Speed, GTA, Dirt – all sorts. Eventually, it expanded to simulators and as realistic games as RaceRoom Racing Experience. Today, I play GTA 5, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Bus Simulator 2018, and Project Cars 2.
That was the hurdle: I hadn’t bought a steering wheel for the PC all these years because
the good devices are quite expensive
they take up a lot of space on the desk and have to be put away again (inconvenient!)
I wasn’t sure if playing would actually improve so much that it justified a purchase
I often had Logitech or Thrustmaster products in my online shopping cart and thought: “Okay, it’s time.” But the points mentioned always kept me from buying in the end.
Then I bought a steering wheel: Upon closer consideration, I summarized what would speak for a purchase. My weekly gaming hours in ETS and Project Cars 2 were a significant factor. Plus, I was already eyeing Bus Simulator 2018, which my colleague Florian Franck made appealing (here you can listen to him philosophizing about bus simulators via (YouTube.com).
Now, everything spoke in favor of a purchase. I wanted to at least give it a try. If it’s not for me, it can always be returned or resold. Let’s Go!
There it is – Fresh out of the box
Which gaming steering wheel did I buy? Before I buy hardware, I first read up on the topic and decide beforehand where I want to land. It was clear to me: It can cost a bit of money, but I don’t need a professional part for more than 400 €. It should look “nice” and preferably also be usable on my Xbox.
After much back and forth, I finally decided on the Logitech G920. Initially, however, without a gear stick, as the paddles on the steering wheel are sufficient for me for now (and the set was not in stock at my trusted dealer).
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
If you’re interested now, you should wait a little longer. Because on June 21 and 22, the Amazon Prime Day is coming up. Many offers in the gaming sector are expected. We don’t know exactly what will be on offer yet. But there’s a chance that you might get the Logitech G920 cheaper then.
Conclusion: I should have bought the gaming steering wheel earlier!
After just three weeks of use, I can say that the purchase was worth it for me. Especially because my gaming experience in my favorite games has drastically improved. I was aware that there is a different driving experience between controller and steering wheel + pedals. What I wasn’t clear about was how much that would affect my enjoyment.
I now play my favorite racing games much more often, can steer much more precisely in corners, and have a better feel for using the gas, brake, and clutch in video games.
For me, the purchase was so important because I now get to know the games I play passionately from a different, better side. That overshadows the setup and teardown and the purchase price for me. The fact that I can now play my favorite games with even more enjoyment justifies for me the title “most important purchase.”
I immediately noticed that GTA Online is absolutely not made for it. Or it requires a lot of getting used to, being driven with a steering wheel. It’s probably a mix of both, but I’d rather stick with the tried and tested controller for now.
Playing games like Project Cars 2, with the vibrations on the steering wheel and a clutch. It always puts a broad smile on my face.

The Shadowbringers addon of Final Fantasy XIV has published its last major content update. Join us as we look back at the sections of the MMORPG and vote for your favorite.
Here’s the deal: With Patch 5.55, the last major update in FFXIV was released before the next addon. The story of Shadowbringers is complete, the transition to the expansion Endwalker has been established, and the final significant content chunks are playable.
We can now look together at the past chapters of FFXIV and consider how they fared in comparison. After all, the MMORPG has a history of 8 years and 4 major segments behind it:
A Realm Reborn: The base game ARR tells the first major chapter of FFXIV. Our character, the newly appointed Warrior of Light, arrives in Eorzea and finds themselves in the midst of a war situation, as well as countless political intrigues and wicked schemes.
Heavensward: After the events in ARR, the rocky path leads the player character north to the nation of Ishgard. For a thousand years, the Ishgardians have been embroiled in a war against the dragons, built on lies. After a difficult journey and painful losses, we finally manage to end the war.
Stormblood: After victory in the north, the journey continues east. The nations of Ala Mhigo and Doma have suffered under the yoke of the Garlean Empire for many years. They plan a rebellion to finally be free, and the player character rushes to their aid.
Shadowbringers: In the last addon of FFXIV, the player character even gets transported to another world. The balance of elements in the first shard world is lost and everything is flooded with light. The inhabitants suffer and are hunted by creatures born from the light. And only the Warrior of Darkness can put an end to it.
The major segments of FFXIV all had their characteristics and appealed to some players more than others. But what about you? Which chapter of the MMORPG did you like the most so far? Let’s rank them together.
Here’s how you can vote: You can vote for your favorite in the poll tool below. You have only one vote to cast, so think carefully about which of the 4 major sections of FFXIV is your number 1.
Your vote cannot be undone.
Tell us: Which chapter of FFXIV has truly captivated you? Do you have a clear favorite among the listed ones, or is it hard to decide? What did you particularly enjoy? Let us know in the comments and reminisce with us about the past patches.
Here’s what’s next for FFXIV: This fall, the next addon for FFXIV named Endwalker will already be released. The release date is set for November 23, but pre-order customers can get early access starting on November 19.
The addon will conclude the major narrative arc around the gods Hydaelyn and Zodiark. There will be a great final battle that aims to answer many of the players’ questions. The journey will take players to new areas such as the island nation of Radz-at-Han, the ancient Sharlayan, and even to the moon.
The maximum level will be raised from 80 to 90, and two new jobs will be added: the Sage and the Reaper. You can find everything about the release of Endwalker in our hub:
The strategic team battle game Pokémon Unite was released in July 2021. We take a look at the costumes and outfits (skins) that trainers and Pokémon can wear in the game.
What’s new: Pokémon enters the MOBA genre and brings with it Pokémon Unite, an arena battler for Nintendo Switch as well as for Android and iOS. Those familiar with games of this genre know that cosmetic modifications of characters play an important role. The so-called “skins” change the appearance of the fighters, but not their strength.
For Pokémon Unite, some of the outfits that trainers and Pokémon can wear are already confirmed. Snorlax with floaties is just one of the highlights.
Costumes for Pokémon in Pokémon Unite
Where does the info come from? Some of the outfits were briefly seen in the new trailer for Pokémon Unite. The Japanese website for the game offers a closer look (via pokemonunite.jp). Colorful graphics showcase which costumes Pikachu, Snorlax, Gyarados, Mr. Mime, Machamp, and other Pokémon can wear.
Here’s how they look:
Skin for Gyarados
Skin for Snorlax
Skin for Machamp
Skin for Venusaur
Skin for Pikachu
Skin for Mr. Mime
Skin for Gardevoir
Skin for Talonflame
Skin for Cinderace
The skins for
Gyarados
Snorlax
Machamp
Venusaur
Pikachu
Mr. Mime
Gardevoir
Talonflame
Cinderace
They were also seen in the new trailer for Pokémon Unite in the game
Here are the swim skins for Snorlax, Machamp, and Gyarados in the game
Additionally, an official press release for the game reveals more about the skins:
In Pokémon UNITE, players have the opportunity to customize the appearance of their character as well as that of the Pokémon. Therefore, in “Unite Battles” not only fighting skills but also individual styles can be showcased. Thanks to “Holowear,” a special technology that uses “Aeos energy,” even Pokémon can wear various outfits. Additionally, players can customize the appearance and clothing of their character as well as their accessories so that they always look stylish. Players can also add a “Unite snapshot” to their profile, featuring their character and Pokémon. This photo can also be edited by changing the character’s facial expression or pose or by adding stickers. “Unite snapshots” can be viewed before the battle begins.
Source: Nintendo press release
The Aeos energy mentioned in this text is obtained through battles. When you defeat wild Pokémon or opposing Pokémon from other players, you can then pick up the Aeos energy. You need it to score points for your team in the “goal zones.”
By competing in battles, you earn in-game rewards. These unlock more Pokémon, outfits for trainers, and Holowear for Pokémon.
Can it be purchased as well? The official website of the game states (via unite.pokemon.com): “You can also unlock Pokémon and purchase items with real money.” What items exactly this involves and what prices they will have is still unclear.
Costumes for Trainers in Pokémon Unite
In line with your Pokémon, you can also outfit the trainers in the matching style. This includes cool Snorlax hoodies, leather jackets, and casual outfits.
We also get a first glimpse from the Japanese website of Pokémon Unite, where we have already seen insights into the skins of the Pokémon.
How do you like the costumes for the trainers? Do they match your style or do you have specific clothing that your avatar absolutely needs?
Do you have wishes for how further skins for your Pokémon should look apart from the trainer costumes? Let us know your opinion and your first impression of these outfits here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss these contents with other trainers.

Usually, in FIFA 21, the excitement tends to wane a bit towards summer. But this time, it’s somehow different, says MeinMMO author Max Handwerk. The culprit is: The European Championship.
What’s going on right now? Oh, folks. Football is happening! And it’s crazy. Just three or four weeks ago, the Euro vibe was barely above “frosty” for me. The tournament was on the horizon, but somehow, the anticipation just wouldn’t kick in.
But just in time for the Euro kickoff, things changed. The sun came out, moods improved, and the football spark reignited. During the Germany – France match, I found myself glued to the TV, even jumping out of my seat a few times when a high-quality chance was missed.
Not that there were many, mind you. The ball found the net three times: once from Hummels stunningly kicked into his own goal, twice from offside positions of the French.
But when Gnabry sent the ball just over the bar, Gosens jumped wildly into a cross, or when Mbappé sprinted across the field at about three times Mats Hummels’ speed, only to be stopped at the last second by a centimeter-perfect tackle from the center-back – that familiar, thrilling feeling was back. Football!
And as it often is when enthusiasm grips you, you have to channel it somewhere. In my case, that’s: FIFA 21.
Even though it didn’t work out in the Euro match: Scoring against France is fun in FIFA 21
How the European Championship makes FIFA 21 better
Is the Euro important for FIFA 21? Theoretically, FIFA 21 and the European Championship have little to do with each other, apart from the tournament-related “Festival of FUT” event. FIFA 21 doesn’t have the official license for the tournament, and there’s no specific Euro mode. Practically, however, the Euro is still noticeable.
This is the effect the Euro is having right now: For me, it manifests itself in the fact that I suddenly feel like rebuilding my Ultimate Team. Of course, I tweak my team all year round – but mainly with an eye on which players could perform well in FIFA 21. In Division Rivals and the Weekend League, one wants to win, after all. Accordingly, the lineup is quite firm, with only minor adjustments to the team.
But as summer approaches, after the TOTS event, the FUT mode traditionally loses a bit of competitive spirit. Suddenly, you don’t participate in every Weekend League and don’t feel the need to optimize your team as much.
Normally, at this point, I would simply stop playing FIFA on a larger scale, maybe just throw in a few matches now and then. But the Euro changes that. Because suddenly, players come into focus who usually aren’t on my radar. You start to wonder: What can Robin Gosens actually do in FIFA 21? Is Czech Republic’s top scorer Patrick Schick an interesting player? And is North Macedonia’s forward Goran Pandev still in FIFA 21?
I suddenly find myself experimenting with the team – which is much easier compared to the past weeks. After all, a large part of the cards on the transfer market is now extremely cheap and easy to acquire.
Unusual, strong cards inject some energy into the team
Then there are things like the Flashback Götze card, which brings back memories (“Do it! Do it! He’s doing it! Mario Götzeeeeee!!!”). Such players have to be added directly to the starting lineup. Also, crazy SBCs like the new Nations Player Challenge, where you can secure significantly improved, unusual players of the Euro, invite you to joyfully shuffle your starting lineup.
And finally, it’s simply fun to play with the national teams against friends and speculate on Euro results. Just throw in a few fun FIFA matches, without keeping an eye on Division Rivals or Weekend League… you usually do that way too rarely.
This is how the community reacts: You can also pinpoint Euro enthusiasm in the FIFA subreddit. The aforementioned SBC in the Swedish version is described by a user as the “perhaps coolest SBC they have ever released” (via reddit). Another hopes for more variants for the remaining nations (via reddit), and yet another praises: “This is really great content. I love things like this. Good players from less significant nations and leagues outside the usual bubble of player SBCs we know” (via reddit).
The Euro matches themselves also spark discussions and good vibes in the community. One of the most popular posts last Wednesday was about the topic: “Base Hummels just overtook my TOTY Mbappé and perfectly tackled him from behind. Uninstalled” – a reference to the described scene from the match between France and Germany (via reddit).
Mbappé demonstrated during the Euro that his speed in FIFA 21 is not made up
Below, players amuse themselves over the comparison between FIFA 21 and real football. France is described as the nasty elite player from the Weekend League, who always just defends and plays long balls to Mbappé. A Hungary fan, on the other hand, describes that his team faced a Portugal team full of meta players and lost due to cheap goals and a penalty – all with a wink.
In short: Somehow, the Euro is creating a lot of space for fun in Ultimate Team, which you hardly notice when you’re only focused on getting good results in the Weekend League. And so FIFA 21 suddenly becomes exciting again, even though I actually expected to set it aside slowly.
Let’s just hope this effect lasts a bit longer. Let’s just hope that Joachim Löw has thoroughly studied the Euro meta and has prepared his team excellently!

Tyrande Whisperwind in World of Warcraft is getting a new model again. We show what the “new” Tyrande is all about.
Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination is finally on the way after many months of waiting. However, not all secrets are known yet, such as the 7-minute cinematics that we will see in the update. A small teaser shows a special highlight. The leader of the night elves is getting – once again – an update and shines in new splendor.
What was discovered? During a cinematic in Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination, Tyrande Whisperwind, the leader of the night elves and currently the Night Warrior, received a new model.
Tyrande’s new model in the cinematic – lots of runes.
Where was the model discovered? Basically, the model is not hidden but openly visible. On the official WoW website, there is a small video clip playing in the background of the presentation for Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination. This resembles the update’s presentation trailer but has an additional mini-scene. A camera move around Tyrande Whisperwind, the Night Warrior.
It is quite possible that the scene comes from an earlier version of the official trailer and was not meant to be on the website.
What do you see there? The round trip essentially shows only Tyrande’s face and parts of her upper body. She still has the black eyes of the Night Warrior, but she has a lot of blue glowing lines around her tattoos. Her body seems to be, apart from the tattoos, covered with the patterns of the Night Fae.
How did the model come about? So far, there is only speculation, as the final cinematic has not yet been released. However, we already know that the Night Fae covenant is trying to save Tyrande from destruction. Her powers as the Night Warrior are becoming increasingly unstable and threaten to destroy her from within. Therefore, Tyrande – partly against her will – is subjected to a ritual to contain the destructive powers of Elune.
It is likely that after this, Tyrande is covered with these blue runes, which visually also resemble almost all anima effects of Ardenweald. Presumably, these symbols help to protect Tyrande from destruction.
In Pokémon GO, trainers are struggling with the research “a seven-colored shadow Pokémon.” The task of battling another trainer in the Super League seems difficult to solve. We will show you how to do it.
What is it about? On June 17th, a new special research started in Pokémon GO. In the quest line “a seven-colored shadow Pokémon”, you are supposed to battle another trainer in the Super League in chapter 3. However, there are many questions regarding this task, as trainers in the GO Battle League are struggling to find the Super League.
We will show you how you can solve the research.
Fight against another trainer in the Super League
This is how you complete the task: You can easily complete “Fight against another trainer in the Super League” by challenging a friend to battle. You don’t even have to be in direct range of the player, but you can challenge them from anywhere.
Start Pokémon GO and open your friends list
Select a trainer who is currently online or one with whom you have previously arranged a battle
Then select the icon for “Battle”
When choosing a league, you should now select the Super League
Specify the Pokémon you want to use for the battle
Wait for your friend
Now fight each other
After the battle, the task will count as “completed,” and you can continue your research on Crypto-Ho-Oh.
What is the problem? On social media, you often read: “The Super League in Pokémon GO is not selectable” or “The Super League does not work.” The reason for this is usually that trainers press “Battles” in the game menu and then want to enter the GO Battle League.
However, in the Battle League, you currently do not have the choice between different leagues. The Hyper League is currently running, and that cannot be changed. Only on July 12 will the Super League be the focus of the Battle League again. So if you haven’t managed to battle a friend by then, you can complete the task in the Battle League.
Trainers are puzzled that Niantic has chosen a league as a requirement that is not currently part of the Battle League (via reddit.com).
The battles against the different team leaders in Pokémon GO do not count for the task. You must fight a “real” trainer for that. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. Just the battle is enough. If you want, you can also choose 3 Pokémon that have very low CP and defeat them in a few seconds.
This is what you need to know: Occasionally, trainers mention bugs where their task only counted as “solved” when they won the battle against the other trainer in the Super League. It’s best to coordinate with your Poké friends so that you can complete the quest quickly.
How do you like the new PvP task in the special research? Do you think it’s good that trainer battles are sometimes a requirement, or would you prefer to do without this type of content?

In Fortnite Season 7 Chapter 2 has started and thus the map has changed. Which 5 landing spots are now among the best in Season 7? MeinMMO shows you which places are particularly worth visiting and especially where to find a lot of loot.
This is what’s happening in Fortnite: With the start of Season 7, the aliens are now on the map and are apparently planning a major invasion – at least this could be seen in the Season 7 trailer. But also the map has received some changes and is supposed to continue to evolve throughout the season.
Now that the map has been changed again, there are new places that players can land at. But what about the landing spots now? Which ones are particularly worthwhile in Season 7 and what makes them so good?
Since the map of Season 7 is still quite new and is expected to change further, we give you an initial impression of the best landing spots – we will adjust the article if something changes regarding the landing spots and their advantages over time.
Landing Spot 1: Corny Complex
What makes this place so special? Corny Complex is not a new place on the map, but its name has changed in the new season. If you look closely, you will see that there is a secret IO base with some secrets beneath the location. Together with the base, Corny Complex offers about 40 chests that you can loot.
You will get even more loot from the IO guards who patrol there – they drop special weapons that are not easily found otherwise. In addition, there is the mythical impulse rifle at this location, which is particularly strong. A visit to Corny Complex could be worthwhile. However, keep in mind that there are many opponents here.
Pro
Lots of loot
Central on the map
Mythical impulse rifle
Restart bus available
Many story hints hidden
Contra
Many opponents
Stressful fight
Corny Complex
Landing Spot 2: Believer Beach
What makes this place so special? In Believer Beach you will find a lot of loot, as there are 36 chests at this location. The town offers various buildings and items that you can chop down – there should be plenty of building material here. Landing here is particularly worthwhile if you’re traveling as a team.
Moreover, there are good fishing opportunities at Believer Beach since you are right by the beach. So if you want to fill your fish collection, you’re well taken care of here. In Season 7, this place received a makeover. There is apparently going to be a party soon to welcome the aliens – maybe it’s time for a visit to Believer Beach?
Pro
Lots of loot
Restart bus available
Many fishing spots
Plenty of building material
Contra
Can sometimes attract a lot of opponents
Believer Beach
Landing Spot 3: Misty Meadows
What makes this place so special? Misty Meadows is a well-known town in medieval style. Here you can find good loot opportunities as there are about 32 chests in the town. A restart bus is also available so that you can respawn your teammates.
The place is usually rather quiet and does not attract many opponents. Landing here can be suitable for solos, as well as for duos and teams – the many buildings provide enough loot opportunities for everyone.
Pro
Lots of loot
Enough materials to collect
Few opponents
Restart bus available
Contra
Rather far from the map center – problems with the deadly storm zone
Misty Meadows
Landing Spot 4: Boney Burbs
What makes this place so special? Boney Burbs is also known from Season 6, but in Season 7 it is a good landing spot offering some loot opportunities. Overall, you will find 29 chests there. There is also plenty of building material, as you can break down various buildings and items.
Boney Burbs features several buildings that are spaced further apart. So you can land here as a team without disturbing each other while looting. If you need to revive your teammates, you will also find a restart bus here.
Pro
Good loot opportunities
Lots of building material to collect
Central on the map
Restart bus available
Contra
Less action
Boney Burbs
Landing Spot 5: Lazy Lake
What makes this place so special? Now let’s talk about a place that most of you already know very well. Therefore, you probably won’t have to search long for the coveted loot here. Lazy Lake offers a total of 32 chests – a lot of loot for you and your teammates.
In addition, the place is rather central on the map, which pays off when the storm zone approaches and you don’t want to take damage. If you need to revive your teammates, you will also find a restart bus here.
Pro
Lots of loot
Central on the map
Restart bus available
Lots of building material to collect
Contra
Can attract many opponents
Lazy Lake
The new map of Fortnite in Season 7 offers several landing spots where you can start a match. Depending on your play style, the landing spot may vary. We have selected some spots for you that are particularly worthwhile due to their high loot count or the advantages they offer.

In FIFA 21 continues with the EM event Festival of FUTball. We show you which players have received strong new FOF cards this time.
What kind of event is this? With the Festival of FUTball event, EA celebrates the ongoing UEFA European Championship and additional matches of the national teams. There are fresh, dynamic special cards that can become stronger throughout the tournament. Last week, the first team was released, and now, starting June 18, the second team takes its turn.
This is how the new FOF cards work: The dynamic Festival of FUTball cards can become better as long as the respective nation collects victories in international matches. Many wins mean jumps in rating, so cards with high 90 ratings are possible. Additionally, it is exciting that, besides the rating, the values for the weak foot and the Skill Moves are also improved.
This graphic from EA explains the system:
When will the new cards be available? The new FOF cards have been available since June 18 at 7:00 PM, in FUT packs.
This is what Festival of FUTball Team 2 looks like
These cards are particularly strong: The strongest cards in the new FOF Team 2 have Hazard (95), Roberto Firmino (95), and Pogba (95). However, Martinez (94), Sanchez (94), Wijnaldum (93), and Joao Felix (93) also receive extremely strong cards.
RF: Hazard (95)
ST: Roberto Firmino (95)
ZM: Pogba (95)

Today, June 18th, Xur arrives in Destiny 2. The mysterious vendor brought a surprising Exotic last week; what will he bring this time and where is he hiding? If you’re interested in the Trials, you can also see here what loot you are fighting for.
Let’s take a look at Xur. The mysterious vendor of course had exactly the Exotic that caused “problems” during his last visit: Old Exotic from Destiny 2 now melts the new raid boss in 4 seconds. Coincidence or as the Nine intended… what weapon does he have with him this time?

What does Xur have for sale? Xur brings you exotic weapons and armor for all characters. But no one knows in advance which Exotics they are. MeinMMO takes a look at his inventory every week as soon as it becomes available, providing you with the most important information. That way you won’t miss a must-have purchase.
Where is Xur? This is his location this weekend

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there will be a skin of Thanos from the Marvel universe. You can secure the skin for free in a tournament. We show you what you need to do.
What kind of skin is it? The Titan Thanos from the Marvel universe is making a return to Fortnite. Back in Season 4 – Chapter 1, you could become Thanos in a special mode and hunt players on the island. Now the character is coming back, but now you can equip him as a skin yourself.
Anyone who wants the skin has a chance to win it. However, you must participate in the Thanos Cup and be successful to get it before all other players.
Thanos returns to Fortnite after 12 seasons
Get the Thanos skin for free at the Thanos Cup
To earn the skin for free, you must participate in the Thanos Cup. We will show you how to join and what requirements must be met.
When does the Cup take place? The Thanos Cup, which is a duo tournament, will take place on Monday, June 21, 2021, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
You have 3 hours to play a total of 10 matches and collect as many points as possible. In the duo, you will compete against your opponents in “normal” rounds.
How to participate in the Thanos Cup
What do you need to do? Since this is a duo tournament, you first need a companion who will participate in the tournament with you. However, anyone who wants to participate in the Cup must meet these requirements:
The Fortnite account must have reached at least level 30
Important: These requirements apply to both duo partners participating together in the tournament and must be met by both.
What are the rewards?
What can be won for free? Anyone who can prove themselves in the Cup will receive a skin for free again. As mentioned above, the Thanos set is up for grabs in this Cup. The items included in the set are:
The outfit “Thanos”
The back accessory “Infinity Gauntlet”
Only players who place in the top 3,375 will receive the skin set for free and ahead of all others.
Additionally, all players who score at least 8 points in the tournament will receive the spray design “Thanos sees all”.
These prizes can be secured in the Thanos tournament
Can you also get the skin outside of the tournament? If you do not place in the top 3,375 players, you still have a chance at Thanos. The skin will be available in the item shop on Sunday, June 27 at 2:00 AM. However, the skin will only be available through the item shop then – players who want the skin will have to pay for it.
What do you think of the new skin? Will you try to get the outfit for free? Or would you rather focus on unlocking the skins from the Season 7 Battle Pass?

The Elder Scrolls Online has encountered another funny bug that turns you into a cat (or another pet). This bug delights players who are wondering “how do you do that?”. We have the answer!
What does the bug do? In a post on reddit, a user showcased an unusual character. It was indeed a cat. And no, not a humanoid Khajiit variant, but a regular house cat sitting there and nonchalantly licking its paws.
However, it appears to be a player, as the cat moves strangely and the odd, choppy sliding animations and bizarre glitches quickly make it clear that it is likely a bug.
But the ESO community wouldn’t be the ESO community if they didn’t celebrate such funny bugs and secretly consider them features. Therefore, there are numerous positive reports about the “bug” under the reddit post:
Quesothief: “This bug should be kept; it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen this week.”
DStrikeBlade: “That’s the funniest [bug] I’ve ever seen!”
DarkLordofChaos: “In the wise words of Todd Howard, ‘It just works!'”
Diverse users were so excited about the “bug” that they asked for instructions on how to replicate it. Unfortunately, there were only vague hints in the Reddit thread that it had to do with the preview feature of the Crown Store. But we at MeinMMO know more!

Here’s how the feature bug works: MeinMMO author and ESO expert MiezeMelli has already figured out how to actively use the bug. You just need to follow these steps:
Open the Crown Store
Go to the Crown Chests
There you can see previews of the individual rewards
First, show any weapon
Then switch to a pet that you display in the preview
Then exit the Crown Store menu and you can glitch as this pet in the world

Bugs are of course not unusual in huge projects like The Elder Scrolls Online. Through constant updates and adjustments, the game is constantly being expanded, and errors slip in as well. On the other hand, these updates are the reasons why, according to lead developer Matt Firor, there will probably never be a second part of The Elder Scrolls.

In general, the numbers of pentakills per game here are significantly higher. Clearly, everyone fights on one lane – the chance to kill 5 people within the time frame is greater. Additionally, players often use different builds in ARAM compared to ranked games.
But already with the next patch, everything could change. In the new update 11.13, Riot Games plans important changes to items and champions. Will it have so much impact that the update improves the ranking of the best pentakill champions? Quite possible.
Which champion do you think was the big pentakill winner in patch 11.11 at League of Legends (LoL)?
Where does the info come from? The team at Riot Games regularly talks about fun facts and hidden data around their MOBA League of Legends. In the “Ask Riot” format, the team recently also discussed the champions that stood out with their pentakills over the past weeks. We learn more about
the 3 champions with the most pentakills in ranked
champions that did not get any pentakills in ranked
ARAM, where everything is a little “more”
What is a pentakill? A pentakill is achieved when you eliminate the opposing team (or 5 players) alone within a short time limit. To get a pentakill, you need to secure 5 killing blows.
The most pentakills in ranked (patch 11.11)
This was explained: The Insight Analyst from Riot Games, kyrieFH, explains (via Leagueoflegends.com): Looking at the data from solo and duo ranked games in patch 11.11,
Samira has the most pentakills
followed by Master Yi
and Katarina
Per game played in LoL, Samira statistically achieves 0.018 pentakills, Master Yi also achieves 0.018 pentakills per game, and Katarina reaches 0.015 pentakills per game according to statistics.
These are the losers: Without surprise, Riot presents the losers from the data mentioned above and advises against playing tanks or supporters when you want pentakills. The following champions had 0 pentakills in patch 11.11 in ranked games in solo and duo queue:
Soraka
Braum
Rell
Taric
Didn’t get a penta in ranked? No problem, every champion gets one in ARAM.
The winners in ARAM: As Riot Games explains, every champion achieved a pentakill in patch 11.11 in ARAM games. Even Braum. However, Master Yi pushes Samira from the first place here.
In general, the numbers of pentakills per game here are significantly higher. Clearly, everyone fights on one lane – the chance to kill 5 people within the time frame is greater. Additionally, players often use different builds in ARAM compared to ranked games.
But already with the next patch, everything could change. In the new update 11.13, Riot Games plans important changes to items and champions. Will it have so much impact that the update improves the ranking of the best pentakill champions? Quite possible.
Thanks to the commitment of many Destiny fans, there will actually soon be an official toaster in Destiny design. How this curious device came about and how to get the toaster can be found here on MeinMMO!
How did the toaster come about? In June 2020, donations were collected for a good cause during the Gaming Community Expo. Bungie promised that if at least $777,777.77 were raised, they would build and offer a dedicated Destiny-themed toaster.
What else is there about toasters in Destiny? Why did Bungie choose a toaster? This is probably due to a popular weapon from the game, the Jötunn. This weapon, which is particularly feared in PvP, actually looks like a death toaster. Therefore, toaster jokes are popular in the Destiny community.

What can the toaster do? First of all, the toaster actually looks a bit like the Jötunn, including the hand symbol on the side. Otherwise, the toaster can do one thing mainly: toast bread! As a special feature, the toaster burns the characteristic Destiny icon onto every piece of toast.
In addition to the toaster, you will receive a practical sandwich holder that also bears the toaster’s logo.
The toaster has a maximum power output of 700 watts and has a type F Schuko plug in Europe. You will also receive an exclusive ingame emblem in the shape of a toast.
When will the toaster be released? According to the Bungie Store, the toaster is expected to be released between December 2021 and January 2022. It can also be pre-ordered in Europe and delivered at the specified time.
How much does the toaster cost? Those who absolutely want the Destiny toaster will have to dig deep into their pockets. The device costs 87.99 euros.
As cool as the idea of a Destiny toaster is, the content for the game itself looks problematic. There is currently not much going on and this is noticeable for the upcoming season. Season 15 could become a real chore due to the anticipated content drought.

In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, you must choose a class and a race during character creation. This can be difficult at first, as each race has certain bonuses. We provide you with an overview of which race is best suited for your plans.
Why is the race so important? In ESO, you gain 4 passive skills through your racial skill. You can unlock and improve 3 of these skills. Depending on what you want to do in the game with your character, a race can be more or less useful.
We from MeinMMO will therefore take a look at the different races and give you suitable tips.
[toc]
What races are there in Elder Scrolls Online?
You can choose between 10 races. Without a specific feature, the race is tied to a specific alliance in PvP (Cyrodiil). If you want to choose your race independently of the alliance, you need the “Away from Home” feature. You can purchase it for 2000 crowns in the crown store (via ESO).
These are the 10 races in ESO:
Nord
Argonian
Dark Elf (Dunmer)
Khajiit
Wood Elf (Bosmer)
High Elf (Altmer)
Orc (Orsimer)
Redguard
Breton
Imperial
Which race is suitable for which class?
It is a common misconception that there is a best race for each class. The class is independent of the race and the role (tank, DD, healer) you want to play. Instead, you should choose the race according to your role.
As a Magicka DD, for example, you might choose a Khajiit, Dark Elf, or High Elf. Whether you turn that character into a Nightblade, Dragonknight, Necromancer, Templar, Warden, or Sorcerer DD is quite irrelevant. Of course, sometimes one class is stronger than another, but that changes from patch to patch.
Depending on which role you want to play, it makes sense to choose the race that gives you the most advantages. Of course, you can also choose the race freely and independently of your playstyle. However, you should be aware that you cannot maximize your potential.
The racial passives at a glance
First of all, I recommend not to pay too much attention to the first passive ability of the races. Each race has an increased experience gain with a type of armor or weapon. However, this is only noticeable until your character reaches level 50 in that skill line.
And you’ll notice that it goes faster than you might think. Even when your character reaches level 50, there are still 3600 champion points waiting for you. Therefore, the playtime below level 50 is negligibly short. Here you can learn more about the champion point system.

The Ultimate Compendium for ESO Blackwood
148 pages of guides for new and returning players, including a free extra: ESO main game, Morrowind, and a 25% discount on Blackwood at Gamesplanet.
This race is currently probably the best choice as a tank. Its passive racial abilities give it increased maximum health and maximum stamina. Moreover, the resistances it gains are important for a tank. Through the passive skill Stalwart, the Nord also gains ultimate power when it takes damage.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Nord.
The Argonian
The Argonian was the first choice for a tank before the rework of the Nord. It remains a good choice. With its last passive skill, it is also a popular race in PvP. But even in PvE, this property can save your life once in a while. The skill Life Giver increases healing done, making a tank more resilient when the healer is not so reliable.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Argonian.
The Imperial
The race of the Imperials is independent of the 3 alliances. However, you need the DLC Imperial City to select it. But since you now get this DLC for free, there are no barriers. Here you can learn more.
As an Imperial, you gain a bonus to your maximum stamina, as well as your maximum health. Additionally, you have a general reduction in the cost of your abilities. Resource management as a tank can be a bit tricky, and the reduced costs could make it easier for you to get started.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Imperial.
Which race is suitable for a Magicka DD?
The Khajiit
The cat race has also been playable as a Magicka DD since the race rework and is currently even the strongest choice by a narrow margin. The skill “Feline Ambush” makes the Khajiit a strong choice right now as it increases your critical damage. You can also play it as a stamina DD.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Khajiit.
The Dark Elf (Dunmer)
The Dark Elves can be played as either Magicka or stamina DD. Currently, they sit just behind the Khajiit and offer you other advantages. The Dark Elf has a natural flame resistance, which can save your life in case of doubt and makes you more resilient to fire damage.
In addition, you receive bonuses to magic and weapon power as well as to your maximum stamina and Magicka. The Dunmer is therefore a good all-rounder.
The High Elf (Altmer)
The High Elves are born mages. The passive racial skills give you a bonus to your maximum Magicka and increase your magic and weapon power.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Altmer.
The Breton
The Bretons are suitable for both a Magicka DD and a healer. They are not the race with the highest damage potential, but they have very good sustain (good resource management). With the latest passive skill, you receive a reduction in the cost of your (Magicka) abilities. Additionally, you gain extra maximum Magicka and Magicka regeneration.
So your resources won’t run out so quickly.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Breton.
Which race is suitable for a stamina DD?
The Khajiit
The cat race is not only a good Magicka DD but also strong for a stamina DD. The skill “Feline Ambush” currently makes the Khajiit a strong choice as it increases your critical damage. And you’ll definitely need that for a stamina DD.
The Dark Elf (Dunmer)
Here I can only repeat myself: The Dark Elves can be played as either Magicka or stamina DD. They currently sit just behind the Khajiit and offer you other advantages.
The Dark Elf has natural flame resistance. This can save your life in case of doubt and makes you more resistant to fire damage. In addition, you receive bonuses to magic and weapon power as well as to your maximum stamina and Magicka. The Dunmer is therefore a good all-rounder.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Dunmer.
The Orc (Orsimer)
The Orc is well suited for a stamina DD. Its racial bonuses give it increased maximum stamina and increased magic and weapon power. Additionally, you heal yourself when you deal damage. This makes it a DD with resilience. As a Magicka DD, it is rather less suitable despite the bonus to magic power.
Due to its increased movement speed, it is popular in PvP. With the right class choice and certain sets, you can develop it into a super fast character.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Orc.
The Redguard
The Redguard is a sustain machine. Similar to the Breton as a Magicka DD, it doesn’t run out of stamina quickly. The costs of weapon skills are reduced and you have a chance to restore stamina when you deal damage. Additionally, there is a bonus to maximum stamina. It is no longer the strongest choice, but you won’t have to worry about resources.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Redguard.
The Wood Elf (Bosmer)
The Wood Elf receives bonuses to stamina regeneration and maximum stamina. In PvE, it is not the strongest choice, though. You see it more in PvP because regeneration is particularly important there.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Bosmer.
If you are interested in more about ESO, you might also be interested in this:
Due to the reduction in Magicka costs of abilities and the bonuses to maximum Magicka and Magicka regeneration, the Breton is wonderfully suited as a healer. You will notice that healing is a very resource-intensive role. So you need to pay very close attention to your resource management. The Breton makes it easier for you.
The Argonian
The skill Life Giver increases healing done, which is ideal for a healer. Additionally, you have a bonus to your maximum Magicka and maximum health. The restoration of all three resources when you drink a potion is also a good support.
The High Elf (Altmer)
The High Elf is not necessarily the first choice for a healer. However, if you also want to deal a little damage alongside (as off-heal), then this race is a good choice. You have a bonus to your maximum Magicka, which benefits both a DD and a healer. And the bonus to your magic power helps you deal a little damage on the side. The Magicka recovery also restores resources. You always need that as a healer.
Call of Duty: Warzone has brought a few new mechanics into the game with the launch of Season 4 – including satellite loot. Through the crashing technology, you can acquire powerful items like armored trucks. However, the motorized beasts were so broken that they were removed again.
What’s going on in Warzone? The new Season 4 has begun. On Thursday, June 17th, a new content cycle started, and the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone benefited from a handful of innovations that expanded the gameplay:
The crash event has a significantly high impact on the current gameplay in Warzone. Via uplink stations, you can acquire satellites from orbit to loot and collect extremely powerful items. This includes a free loadout drop, the H.A.R.P. killstreak for perfect reconnaissance, or heavy armored trucks.
However, the trucks went a bit overboard and were removed from Warzone in less than 24 hours.
Armored trucks trigger players and an old glitch
What can the armored trucks do? You acquire the trucks similarly to a loadout crate. You mark your position with a smoke signal, and a big aircraft delivers the armored vehicle to you via air. The base model is comparable to the usual “Berthas,” as the trucks are called by the community. However, the armored trucks have a machine gun on the driver’s roof that a player can occupy.
Thus, the armored trucks are already strong without upgrades, but that’s not all. At the rear section of the vehicle, you will find an upgrade console. Here, you can enhance the truck with a permanent recon drone or armor plates. You can even attach a built-in trophy system to the armored truck for cash.
Moreover, the trucks offer supplies. Through the console, you can purchase crates with armor plates or ammunition. Even repairing the truck is possible via the upgrade console. We are including a short clip where you can examine the upgrade console and the truck’s machine gun:

So OP and removed? The armored trucks were part of the normal “battle royale” mode and really extremely strong. Even without upgrades, the trucks allow strong strategies – with built-in weapons, a persistent drone, and extra armor, the vehicles are simply overwhelming.
However, that wasn’t the reason for the trucks’ removal. Developer Raven explained 14 hours after the introduction that the trucks would be temporarily removed from players due to an invisibility glitch:
The link in the tweet leads to a Trello board. Here, the developers note and show which bugs they are currently working on. Under the point regarding invisible players, the developers write: “The armored trucks were removed to avoid the problem. We continue our investigations to find a permanent solution.”
Invisibility glitch makes weaponized vehicles broken: Currently, it is rather unlikely that the trucks will return to the game until the end of the satellite event. The event runs until next Thursday, June 24th.
Because the attack helicopters are struggling with a similar problem. The armed version of the normal helicopters should actually have been in the game since the launch of the first combined season of Warzone and Cold War in December 2020. However, due to the invisibility glitch, the helicopters have not yet made it into the game – a second introduction attempt failed miserably.
What do players say about the trucks? Initial backlash has subsided since the trucks were removed from the game again. However, shortly after the first insane videos showcasing gameplay of the armored trucks in Warzone appeared, some players were already furious:
@M_M252J on Twitter: “Nobody wants weaponized vehicles… Stop trying to make it happen.”
@McQrow on Twitter: “Players: At least they reduced the Bertha spawns / CoD: so… let’s bring in an armored truck! lol”
For many players, the armored trucks seem too strong, and such a vehicle has no place in the normal “battle royale” mode. Some will likely be pleased that the glitch led to the trucks’ disappearance.
Season 4 has brought many innovations to Warzone and thereby allows new tactics to help with victory. However, due to the strong Season 3, where the weapon meta was as good as never before in Warzone, it sometimes feels like a setback. Because even the new LMG MG 82 is OP and many players logically want to benefit from the advantages of the new weapon.
If the developers remain committed to their open and thoughtful approach from Season 3, adjustments should follow shortly. However, with the introduction of the armored truck, they did themselves no favors. Even though it was really fun when you were behind the wheel of a souped-up truck.
Feel free to share your opinion about the armored trucks with us in the comments on MeinMMO.

With Bless Unleashed, the next MMORPG has announced its release for summer. It will be available in early August for PC and aims to attract fans of action-packed combat systems, world boss fights, and PvP.
Originally, the release was planned for spring 2021. However, the controls and the UI needed significant adjustments to work better on PC. The MMORPG was already released in 2020 on PlayStation and Xbox and has now been adapted for PC.
Why is it the “next PC MMORPG”? Several new MMORPGs have already announced their release for summer 2021:
Swords of Legends Online does not have a fixed release date but is expected to be available “in summer 2021”
Action-Packed Fights and Huge World Bosses
What type of MMORPG is this? Bless Unleashed is a free-to-play MMORPG that places a strong emphasis on its action-driven combat system. Attacks and combos are triggered by pressing the right and left mouse buttons. Additionally, there are several skills and a dodge roll to enhance the dynamics.
The game describes itself as a theme park MMORPG, and it follows a linear story told through relatively monotonous quests. Bless Unleashed offers you 5 different classes to dive into the adventure.
You can get a first glimpse of the MMORPG in the video by TheLazyPeon:

Which class in Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis (PC, Xbox One, Xbox X) best suits which taste and playstyle? Which classes are available in the MMORPG at launch? Learn more about the individual classes in our MeinMMO PSO2 New Genesis class guide for 2021.
The question of which class to play first occupies many online role players at the start of every MMORPG, and Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is no exception.
We have listed all six classes here and will examine their respective gameplay mechanics in more detail.
An Overview of the Six Classes of PSO2: New Genesis
What classes are there? The six classes in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis differ between ranged and melee fighters, as well as a supporter class. Each class has corresponding armor that emphasizes their respective class attributes. The races, by the way, have no impact on your character selection.
Can I change my class? A special aspect of the MMORPG is that it does not prescribe a fixed class. So once you feel it’s time for something new, visit the class NPC in Central City. There you can easily choose a new class of your choice without much hassle. You can change your class anytime and as often as you like.
Can I also combine classes? The Phantasy Star Online series is known for allowing players to experience different playstyles with their characters.
Rather, the roles are fluid, and as mentioned above, you can also add one of the predefined six heroes as a subclass. For example, you can start as a Ranger for ranged attacks, then switch to melee using the Fighter subclass and deal heavy blows to the enemy with your fists.
However, we will not delve into the subclass system of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis at this moment. The focus of this guide is on introducing the main classes in the game.
The vast world of PSO2: NG is rich in dangerous enemies looking to take your life.
The Melee Classes in PSO2: New Genesis
What melee fighters are there? The Hunter and Fighter are suited as melee fighters, attacking either with swords and pole weapons or using dual daggers, fist weapons, and dual swords.
The Hunter – Perfect Class for Beginners
What can the Hunter do? With the Hunter, you play the simplest class that easily guides you through the MMORPG without falling behind other classes in significant ways. The Hunter class offers a convincing performance in terms of playability, mobility, and damage, making it difficult for you to find a better class later on.
Hunters are melee fighters specializing in swords, partisans, and wired lances.
Swords have a slow but strong attack and the ability to charge stronger attacks.
Partisans are slightly faster and offer some utilities during combat.
Lances take some getting used to, but focus on area damage and many grab attacks.
What is the advantage of the Hunter? They are easy to learn and provide a lot of fun while not lagging behind the other classes at all.
What disadvantages do you have to accept? Unfortunately, the class is not as agile as others, but it is better armored.
The Fighter – Mobile Damage and Spectacular Combos
What distinguishes the Fighter from the Hunter? Fighters play more or less like Hunters, but they are faster and master devastating attacks. They take less damage but move nimbly and can evade better. Hunters rely on dual daggers, dual swords, and their fists in combat.
Each weapon plays completely differently, but is equally efficient in its own way.
With dual daggers, you are mostly airborne and attack the enemy with brutal combos. These are difficult to execute, and you need good reflexes for them.
Fist fighting is literally very down-to-earth, and you use fewer combos to attack – instead, you land heavy hits against your opponent. Your range is low, but you can effectively parry hits.
Dual swords play like a mix of fist fighting and dual daggers, but combos are not as hard to execute here.
Advantages of the Fighter: He is agile and has strong attacks. He is very effective in aerial combat.
Disadvantages: The class has weaker armor, and you need to avoid strong attacks.
PSO2: NG is most enjoyable with other players together.
Ranged Combat in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis
What ranged classes are there? PSO2 NG offers you four ranged fighters with the Ranger, Gunner, Force, and Techter, although one of them relies on close combat.
The Ranger – High Damage at Long Range
How does the Ranger play? If you want to stay at a distance from your enemies and kill them from afar, the Ranger is just right for you. You can either use rifles or rocket launchers to deal extreme damage from a safe distance.
Rifles are suitable due to their uncomplicated use, and with different ammunition types, you can cause different damage to the enemy.
Rocket launchers are perfect when your enemies are right in front of you. With large area attacks, you deal remarkable damage and can hinder your enemies with various effects, such as slowing them down.
Advantages of the Ranger: He is deadly at long distance and perfect for keeping enemies off your teammates.
Disadvantages: Once enemies come close to you, you are vulnerable and don’t withstand much damage.
The Gunner – Not for Beginners, but Loads of Fun
Why is the Gunner hard to play? The Gunner class is initially somewhat difficult to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a blast. Gunners primarily rely on a very fast play style and behave more like melee fighters than ranged ones. This is mainly due to their weapons, where you can choose between dual machine guns or assault rifles.
The machine guns allow for an extremely mobile combat style, and you will quickly find yourself hopping around the battlefield. The optimal distance for the Gunner is indeed close to the enemy. Once you master the mechanics, you will love it – guaranteed.
With assault rifles, on the other hand, you can keep a large distance from your enemies at all times and support your teammates with various abilities and ammunition types – a certain similarity to the Ranger is evident.
Advantage of the Gunner: He plays incredibly dynamically and entertainingly while you dash across the battlefield.
Disadvantage: The playstyle is not very easy to learn.
The Force – Strong Area Attacks Devastate the Battlefield
What is the Force? Typical for PSO2 are some magic-like classes. Force is the class for players who enjoy using techs. Techs are the PSO2 equivalent to spells.
A Force player has to maintain a safe distance from enemies at all times while casting powerful tech attacks. The Force classes rely on all sorts of elemental techs and use wands and talismans.
Both weapons work quite similarly here, although the talisman uses slightly more mobile techs and does not deal as much damage.
Advantages: It deals high damage on the battlefield.
Disadvantage: You must always keep your distance from your enemies.

The Techter – Supports Teammates but Also Deals Good Damage
What does the Techter offer? The Techter is the actual support class in PSO2 New Genesis. Your main task is to assist the rest of the team – but don’t think that you can’t defend yourself. Techters rely on a variety of weapon abilities and techs that can deal significant damage. However, not quite as much as a Force fighter.
Techters also use wands and talismans, and both weapons have their individual play styles.
Talismans allow for a more mobile playstyle but deal less damage.
The wands, on the other hand, are used as melee weapons that hit opponents while also utilizing some techs.
Advantages of the Techter: Supports groups and also deals damage to opponents.
Disadvantages: Damage is not comparable to the Force class.
It’s no secret that the current weather conditions in Pokémon GO play a significant role. However, soon the game is expected to look even more realistic. We have looked into how this will be achieved for you.
What is planned? Players of Pokémon GO know that the game is closely intertwined with the current local weather. For instance, certain Pokémon only spawn under specific weather conditions, like rain, or occur more frequently then. To visually convey this to trainers, the sky in the game adapts to the local weather conditions.
Players can see, among other things, clouds in the sky or a starry night sky in Pokémon GO. As Niantic has announced, there are a few new features planned for late summer (via pokemongolive.com). In this context, the local lighting and weather conditions are to be recreated in real-time using a new game mechanic.
What could the new weather feature look like?
Back in 2017, Niantic announced future improvements to the weather representation in the game. In this context, their graphic designer Dennis Hwang presented the company’s visions during the Game Developers Conference. The following YouTube video may provide insight into what trainers can expect with the current changes in the game.

As you can see in the video, it has long been Niantic’s wish to integrate a more realistic sky into Pokémon GO. Thus, the sunset in the game could look even more realistic than before. But also other weather conditions are expected to be better adapted to the real world in the game.
So far, there are unfortunately no confirmed reports on how the new real-time sky will look. However, this feature is currently being tested by select players. We will keep you updated on this topic and inform you when there are first images available.
Are there any other new features in Pokémon GO? In addition to the changes in the sky, Niantic announced that there will also be changes related to the Pokédex. New Pokédex classifications are to be introduced. Currently, however, no further details are known.
