In Pokémon GO there are many opportunities to spend money. In our survey we want to know anonymously from you how many euros you have already invested. Vote now!
What is this about? Since the release of Pokémon GO, new ways have continually come into play to buy content for real money. This can include tickets for real-world events like the GO Fest or items like raid passes that you can buy in the in-game shop.
Almost 5 years after the release of Pokémon GO, we want to know from you how much money you have spent on the game during this time. And whether you are satisfied with it.
How many euros have you spent on Pokémon GO?
We are embedding the survey here, where you can cast exactly one vote. Since there is no way in Pokémon GO to check exactly how much money you have spent, a rough estimate is sufficient here.
We roughly categorize here in the different money categories. From our Facebook group on Pokémon GO, we know that some players among you are very strict and do not spend any money on the app.
Others earn a little money for the Play Store with survey apps, which they then exchange for PokéCoins.
Some buy tickets for real-world events like safari zones or the GO Fest.
Vote here anonymously on how much money you have roughly spent on Pokémon GO so far. This includes purchases of coins as well as event tickets. Gas for the car you drive to the gyms does not count. Only items that are directly related to Pokémon GO.
If you want, feel free to write to us in the comments how much money that has been for you and what kind of items you spend money on in Pokémon GO. On the other hand, we would also like to know why you do not spend any money on Pokémon GO.

In FIFA 21 the TOTS is in full swing. At the same time, prices on the transfer market for many cards are dropping. So much so that some top players are now really cheap.
What’s going on? In FIFA 21, the Team of the Season is regularly bringing extremely strong new cards into the game. Every week, special cards with very high values are released and can therefore be quite expensive.
However, the transfer market also still features older cards from top players that are becoming cheaper. With some of these players, you can still improve your team – or at least use them in an SBC. That’s why we are looking at some top players who have become really affordable.
Virgil van Dijk (Gold)
Price: approx. 55,000 coins
Virgil van Dijk is one of the best center-backs in the world and also one of the highest-rated cards in FIFA 21. At its peak, his card was worth a full 540,000 coins, but it has been steadily decreasing over the past months. Currently, there are some cards that have surpassed the golden van Dijk – but the Liverpool defender is still a strong center-back.
Mohamed Salah (Gold)
Price: approx. 60,000 coins
Salah’s highest price was around 400,000 and now has only a fraction of that amount. This may appeal to many players who could use a dribbling winger on the right side. Salah’s gold card impresses with pace, finishing, and dribbling. Although he does not have 5-star skills, he can still maneuver into dangerous situations and finish successfully with his 4 stars combined with quick runs.
Joshua Kimmich (TOTGS)
Price: approx. 58,000 coins
With his performance in the Champions League, Kimmich earned a Team-of-the-Group-Stage card, which previously cost just over 250,000 coins. Today, it is available for about 60,000 coins, but it still impresses as a strong card in midfield. Kimmich can make an impact defensively and offensively.
Sadio Mané (Gold)
Price: approx. 55,000 coins
With Inform, Freeze, and TOTY nominations, Mané has created significant competition for himself through various special cards. However, the normal gold card still has the deadly combination of pace, finishing, and dribbling that defines Mané. It is now available for 55,000 coins – compared to the 500,000 coins he cost at the beginning of the game, it’s a real bargain.
Kevin de Bruyne (Gold)
Price: approx. 65,000
Kevin De Bruyne even has a 91 overall rating, primarily due to his fantastic playmaking skills in midfield. De Bruyne is the perfect playmaker and can also look for goal with significant power if needed. While the Belgian initially cost nearly 400,000 coins, he is now only around the 60,000 coin mark.
Robert Lewandowski (Inform)
Price: approx. 90,000
Robert Lewandowski is delivering one of the strongest Bundesliga performances in real life right now, which is why he has collected several special cards throughout FIFA 21. One of them – his first Inform card – has just dropped below 100,000. The goal-scoring striker is nearly a guarantee to score when he gets a touch in the box. For those looking to spend less, they should look for Lewandowski’s gold card.
Ilkay Gündogan (TOTS)
Price: approx. 77,500 coins
The impact of the current TOTS cards on the transfer market is evident as even TOTS cards come with prices that were hardly conceivable a few weeks ago. One example: Ilkay Gündogan, who received a really strong TOTS card. The ManCity midfielder has everything you could need in the center. The price: just 88,000 coins.
Michael Laudrup (91)
Price: approx. 81,000
Michael Laudrup represents another group of cards that actually had a rather stable price: icons. However, many legends are also dropping in price nowadays. Laudrup’s prime icon card has now reached 83,000 coins. The values of the CAM are quite usable, and like all other icons, he has the unique ability to link with all teammates.
Of course, other icons could fit your team or playstyle even better. The Icon Swaps 3 are perfect for that – there you can earn some really good icons.

In Pokémon GO a big challenge has started, and you should definitely participate. The bonuses you can unlock are really worth it for you.
What kind of challenge is this? In a few days, the big “Illuminating Legends Y” event starts with Yveltal and Team GO Rocket. During the event, you will encounter Yveltal for the first time, Pam-Pam will hatch from strange eggs, and some Dark-type Pokémon will invade the wilderness. But Team GO Rocket is also involved, and quietly a challenge started on May 15.
From now on, you have one week to battle as many grunts as possible. If you succeed, you will receive a significant XP bonus, a Shiny, and an addition in Level 1 raids.
Defeat Rocket Grunts and earn 3x XP
This is the task: The challenge has been running since midnight on May 15 for all trainers worldwide. Together, 25 million Rocket Grunts must be defeated. You have until May 24 at 01:59 to achieve this.
These are the rewards: If you reach the goal, the following rewards will be unlocked for you starting Tuesday, May 25:
Until the end of the “Illuminating Legends Y” event, you will receive three times the catch experience points
Until the end of the “Illuminating Legends Y” event, you will encounter Galar Zigzagoon in Level 1 raids
You have the chance to encounter Shiny Galar Zigzagoon. This bonus will also remain after the event ends
The “Illuminating Legends Y” event ends on Monday, May 31, 2021, at 8:00 PM local time.
Here you see the shiny Galar family of Zigzagoon with Geradaks and Barrikadax
What else is happening? On May 18, the event officially starts with Yveltal and brings Dark-type Pokémon like Hunduster or Kanivanha into the wilderness. There will also be a limited research task with Team GO Rocket that rewards you with Galar Zigzagoon. During the event, you can use a Charge TM to make Shadow Pokémon forget the move “Frustration”.
Starting from May 25, the second half of the event begins, which introduces the new Eevee evolution “Feelinara” into the game. Eevee and its evolutions will be the focus of the event during this time.
This is known: There was already a similar global challenge during the “Illuminating Legends X” event with Xerneas. You were challenged to catch 500 million Fairy-type Pokémon. However, the progress was not displayed in the game. Niantic explained on Twitter that updates on the current status would be communicated via tweet (via twitter.com).
It is reasonable to assume that the interim results of the Rocket Challenge will also be announced through Pokémon GO’s Twitter channel.
How do you like the challenge with the Rocket Grunts? Is this finally a reason to battle them again, or do you regularly fight against them and take on every battle?
A trainer showed his idea of how he would tackle the monotony of the Rocket battles. He shared his brilliant Squirtle idea with the Pokémon GO community and is being celebrated for it.

At the start of the new Season 14, many are annoyed by Stasis in PvP from Destiny 2 and are demanding further adjustments. Now a sandbox manager from Bungie has spoken out.
This is the current situation in PvP: The Stasis is a problem for many in PvP, which is nothing new and has been pretty much known to everyone since the introduction of the element. And even though Stasis has already been nerfed multiple times and was nerfed again at the beginning of the new season: The Crucible remains unplayable for many Guardians – whether they are casual or hardcore players – due to the icy powers.
In short: PvP has received very little to no love for years and Stasis takes away the last bit of fun for many. It has even gone so far that shortly after the launch of the season of the splicer, #NerfStasis trended on Twitter. Calls for further balance adjustments or even Stasis-free modes and playlists are growing louder again.
What is Stasis actually? Stasis is a relatively new damage type introduced with Destiny 2: Beyond Light and is present as both a focus for Guardian powers and as a damage type on a few weapons in the game. It embodies ice and frost. You gain these icy powers after completing the campaign of the Beyond Light expansion and mastering some additional tasks. Afterwards, you can unlock additional specializations of this power and tailor Stasis to your playstyle.
What is so bad about Stasis? Many players generally enjoy the PvP of Destiny 2, but Stasis is simply game-breaking. The Twitter user @Menakkee sums it up well for the prevailing sentiment: Getting frozen in PvP every 30 seconds just isn’t fun for most.

For some time, you’re either significantly slowed down or completely immobilized, unable to defend yourself or counter in any way. Using Stasis requires little to no skill, according to the criticism. Therefore, Stasis is virtually omnipresent in PvP, as it is still vastly superior to all other older focuses in terms of effectiveness and customization variety.
Work on Stasis continues – Your weapons should matter more
What does Bungie actually say about the whole thing?
Where do the sources come from? The studio has noticed the whole discussion and the renewed flare-up at the start of the season. A developer responsible for the sandbox, the Sandbox Discipline Lead Kevin Yanes, has now spoken out – someone who is basically right at the source.
This is what Bungie says about Stasis: Yanes said that he can’t say much yet, but Bungie is actively working on adjustments for the controversial element. The studio knows that Stasis is “too hot” and needs to be significantly toned down.
The next few balance updates are intended to shift the focus in PvP more and more [from abilities] towards weapons. More information will come.
Why this statement is important: Well, while Yanes might not say much, he does say something very important. One of the main criticisms of PvP for some time has been the excessive focus on abilities and that the use of weapons has, in the eyes of many players, too little impact on gameplay.
This is apparently something Bungie wants to change – even if they are not yet specific about how it should look in detail. But generally, Bungie’s plan seems to be: The focus is shifting from abilities towards gunplay.
What do you think about this announcement? Do you also wish for a stronger focus on weapons over abilities in the Crucible? And what are your current thoughts on Stasis? Do you think it also needs further nerfs, or should this element perhaps be completely removed from PvP (or at least from some modes)? Let us know in the comments section, along with other readers from MeinMMO.

Armored vehicles can often save your life in GTA Online. But which ones should you buy and for what situations are they suitable? MeinMMO presents the 5 best armored vehicles.
What are armored vehicles? These are cars that you can upgrade for combat situations, better protecting you and your vehicles from enemy attacks.
For this purpose, armor plating and bulletproof windows can be installed in the vehicles. However, this comes at the expense of speed. Armored vehicles are therefore not found on our list of the fastest cars.
What you should watch out for: Before acquiring one, you should consider that there is no “perfect” armored vehicle. Some offer strong protection against explosions, such as from rocket launchers. However, these have limitations when it comes to protection against firearms.
Others, on the other hand, are better protected against gunfire from weapons like assault rifles, while they can withstand little to no rocket hits.
We will show you the strongest armored vehicles and also give you tips on which of these vehicles excels in what situation. Keep in mind that there is no one “best” vehicle that fulfills all characteristics. Each vehicle has its own advantages and is suitable for different situations. Therefore, the ranking from 5 to 1 can be seen differently by each player, as the cars differ according to their intended use.
These are the key features: The Paragon R stands out with its twin machine guns, primarily due to its armament. Additionally, it is one of the fastest armored vehicles and overall solidly armored.
However, it does not provide comprehensive protection against explosions or gunfire. It will explode after 2 explosive attacks, and gunfire can break through the protective glass after a certain number of hits.
How to obtain the car? You need to complete all six Casino Heist missions as a host. Here you can find our guide to GTA Online: Casino Heist Guide – How to get rich
Pro
One of the fastest armored vehicles
Heavily armed
Free if you complete the 6 heist missions
Contra
Only 2 seats
Little resistance to explosions
4. Insurgent Pick-Up Custom
Price: 202,500 GTA$ as an upgrade at the Mobile Operations Center
Shop: Warstock Cache & Carry
Vehicle class: Off-Road
Vehicle type: Military/Civilian vehicle with armor
Seats: 9
These are the key features: The Insurgent is an especially thickly armored vehicle. Its greatest strength is its resistance to explosions and seating capacity.
It can withstand up to 11 shots from a rocket launcher when no player is in the vehicle. With passengers, the Insurgent can withstand significantly more shots.
However, players must make compromises when it comes to protection against firearms. The Insurgent cannot be upgraded with bulletproof glass.
In firefights, the vehicle is therefore only conditionally suitable, but it can defend itself in case of doubt with a minigun or turret. If you also want to transport many people, it is a good choice. With up to 9 seats, the vehicle offers plenty of room.
You need to upgrade the standard version in a Mobile Operations Center for the vehicle. The standard model, the Insurgent, costs 897,750 GTA$. However, if you complete the Humane Labs Heist, you will receive a discount and only have to pay 675,000 GTA$. Nevertheless, the investment is worth it: For these reasons, the Insurgent should not be missing from any garage in GTA Online.
Pro
High explosion resistance
Lots of room for your team
Can also be reinforced in terms of weapons with the pick-up version.
These are the key features: The Duke O’Death is particularly well armored against explosions. It can take up to 5 explosive hits before blowing up.
Additionally, it is quite fast. Although it has no armament, you can fire your weapons out of the window while driving. Overall, it is a robust car and reasonably priced. Returnees even have the option to get the car for free.
The Duke O’Death was part of the “Cunning Stunts” update for GTA Online, which introduced a crazy stunt mode to the game. This allows players to build all sorts of crazy tracks and test their driving skills.
How do you get the car for free? Anyone switching from an old console (Xbox 360, PS3) to PS4 and Xbox One gets the vehicle for free. All others must purchase the Duke O’Death in the shop.
Pro
Well armored
Among the fastest armored cars
Relatively inexpensive
Contra
No armament
Only 2 seats
2. HVY Nightshark
This is what the Nightshark looks like.
Price: 1,245,000 GTA$
Shop: Warstock Cache & Carry
Vehicle class: Off-Road
Vehicle type: Civilian vehicle
Seats: 4
These are the key features: The Nightshark is the fastest among the larger heavy armored vehicles. Although its armor is not as effective as the Insurgent’s, the Nightshark’s higher speed makes it more versatile.
You can find a direct comparison of armored off-road vehicles on YouTube in the video by Onespot Gaming (via YouTube.com). In time trials, the Nightshark is significantly faster than other armored vehicles like the Insurgent, Insurgent Pick Up Custom, Menacer, Nightshark, Barrage, and the Zhaba.
As with all heavy armored vehicles, the Nightshark lacks protection against firearms as the windows cannot withstand any hits. Otherwise, it is a fast and very robust SUV.
Additionally, it has stylish machine guns under the hood. Unfortunately, their damage is rather limited. Overall, you can’t go wrong with the Nightshark.
These are the key features: The Kuruma has long been one of the most popular armored cars in GTA Online. Although cars like the Paragon R or Duke O’Death can reach higher speeds, the Kuruma’s speed is sufficient.
Its decisive advantage is its nearly bulletproof armor, and the windows are almost completely sealed. However, the vehicle cannot withstand an explosion attack.
For heists, the Kuruma is ideal, as NPCs primarily attack you with firearms. With four seats, you can take colleagues along, and the armor also protects beginners from an early demise.
Pro
Fast
Almost bulletproof
Ideal for heists and other missions where vehicle battles with NPCs occur
Contra
No resistance against explosions
Ultimately, the choice also depends on your preferences and the purpose for which you need the vehicle.
Heavy SUVs like the Insurgent or Nightshark are particularly practical in open gameplay, as their explosion resistance can protect against rocket launchers from other players.
But they are also very helpful in heists, especially if you need more seats and want to keep your team together.
After the outcry from the community about the in-game shop in the MMO New World, the team is now speaking plainly. They address fans’ questions, explain what can be bought in the shop, and that they are considering a Battle Pass.
What’s going on with New World? A few days ago, a screenshot from the alpha forum was shared on Reddit despite the NDA. It shows how Amazon introduces the in-game shop of their MMO New World for the first time. Items like boosters for crafting and experience points quickly raised concerns among fans that it could be pay-to-win.
Shortly afterward, Amazon alleviated concerns regarding pay-to-win allegations. A few hours later, they wrote a text that addresses further open questions from fans and reveals the planned future of the shop model for New World.
Only cosmetics in the shop at launch, but more later
The team writes: On Twitter, the New World account published a message to the community, signed by Studio Director Rich Lawrence (via twitter.com). Initially, they clarify: The store of New World will offer players items that they consider fair and for which they would like to spend money.
At the same time, the team emphasizes that the items in the store should “never” feel like they are necessary for enjoying the game. “All players will have the opportunity to experience the full game without having to make purchases in the shop.”
Furthermore, they state:
At launch, the items in the shop will be exclusively cosmetic
In the alpha, the items in the shop and their value will be tested
The costs for shop items in the alpha are not final
Testers can provide feedback on each offered item in the alpha
What will the shop offer after launch?
This is still being tested: In the future, they want to offer “Quality of Life” items for mechanics like “Rested XP” and “Fast Travel”. These are planned to be available in the game and also purchasable in the store. When these items will be released depends on how players progress in the months following the launch, the team writes.
Our goal with all types of items is that they do not provide advantages that cause poor balance in the game. We understand that this is a matter of player interpretation. Therefore, we ask for your patience as we test in the alpha and listen to your feedback.
This is currently known: At the end of the letter to the community, it discusses a feature that is still being discussed. A Battle Pass. This should be valuable to players but not disrupt others who do not use it.
“To make plans for the future transparent, we are also considering a ‘Battle Pass’-like program that would periodically combine items from the shop. This will also be tested in advance to ensure it provides high value without disrupting gameplay for those who do not participate. There is also the possibility of optional expansions that would have a separate price.”
Why is Amazon now presenting the shop system so openly?
This is the story behind it: After a leak of the alpha shop reached the community on May 13 and players read about “boosters”, concerns about pay-to-win arose. Because Amazon’s New World is a buy-to-play MMO that had not yet commented on its shop.
After the first glimpse of the shop, players feared that such crafting boosters could be purchased right at launch. Which would allow players who invest more money to progress faster in crafting professions and sell crafted armor at high levels for high prices. The Pay2Win allegations were quickly denied by the developers of New World.
In response to these fears, New World emphasized in their new statement on Twitter that the purchasable items that players find in the shop at the start of the game are only cosmetic. So, boosters are not.
How do you like the insight into the plans of the New World shop? Would you like a Battle Pass system in the game, and if so, what should it look like? Please share your opinion here in the comments on MeinMMO.
At the Fan Festival of Final Fantasy XIV, the male Viera were announced as a playable race for the Endwalker expansion. The female Hrothgar were also mentioned.
Now their male counterparts have also been announced as playable characters. The male Viera, according to lore, live very reclusive lives. They stay deep in the woods separately from the women and are regarded as the protectors of the jungle.
Only the very young male Viera remain in the villages until they grow up and leave the village. They return to the women only every 3 to 5 years when it’s time to procreate. You can watch a trailer for the male rabbits here:

When will the male Viera be playable? The new playable gender will be available with the Endwalker expansion on November 23, 2021.
Why this is important: Although the announcement of the Viera and Hrothgar was a big surprise, it was received unfavorably at the time. Many players were upset that the two races had only one playable gender, thus having a gender lock.
Frustration was expressed on social media and forums, and the feedback was so overwhelming that the director of FFXIV, Naoki Yoshida, addressed the issue. He explained that adding new races is a very complex project.
Accordingly, it was impossible to implement the male Viera and female Hrothgar into the game during the Shadowbringers expansion.
This is what the community says: The surprising announcement of the male Viera has been celebrated by players in FFXIV. The official English tweet about it received over 15,000 upvotes, the most attention of any tweet related to the Fan Festival. Not even the announcement of the new job Reaper received as many upvotes.

In the comments, the mood is generally positive. Players are glad that the developers listened to the criticism from Shadowbringers and implemented the community’s wishes. Many players were enthusiastic about the announcement on reddit as well. The thread there is smaller (via reddit), but it still has over 1,300 upvotes and more than 500 comments.
And what about the female Hrothgar? The announcement of the male Viera now leaves only one race with a gender lock: the Hrothgar. However, director Yoshida had a few words regarding them as well.
The female Hrothgar are in development, but they will not be available in time for the Endwalker release on November 23. It will take some time before they become playable. Yoshida did not reveal how long that will be.
This week we have an item from World of Warcraft in our “Item Spotlight” for you, which allows you to assume different roles. Basically the carnival costume of Azeroth.
With tens of thousands of items and nearly 700 toys, there are plenty of fun effects to discover in World of Warcraft. Most of them get boring pretty quickly, as the effects are almost always identical. Not so with the Mask of Many Faces. It should provide new results even after the hundredth use.
What is the Item Spotlight? The Item Spotlight is a regularly recurring format on MeinMMO. Every few weeks we want to take a closer look at a special item from one of our supported games and clarify the most important questions. Where does the item come from? What use does it have? What is its story? We hope to point out some cool items that you may have overlooked.
What is the Coin of Many Faces? The “Coin of Many Faces” is a toy from World of Warcraft with a proud cooldown of 24 hours. The description is: “Transform into someone else.”
Exactly that is what the coin does. It transforms the appearance of your character into one of several hundred different characters. The transformation lasts exactly one hour.
But it’s not just the pure appearance that changes; other attributes of your character are also altered. If you type /joke in the chat, your character will tell a joke of the race it has transformed into. At the same time, this can lead to quite a bit of confusion, as the tooltip will show the new race for other players. If a human mage suddenly becomes a blood elf mage, that could seem rather strange.
Additionally, the transformation lasts beyond death, should you unfortunately perish in a dungeon or a battle.
However, the transformation has no impact on your faction or abilities. You remain a member of your faction (Horde or Alliance), and neither your abilities nor your racial abilities change. The effects are purely cosmetic with no gameplay advantages or disadvantages.
Especially cool: During the Hollow’s End, the cooldown of the coin is reduced from 24 hours to 60 minutes. You can then have the effect active permanently and immediately get a new one after the first transformation.
How do you get the Coin of Many Faces? The Coin of Many Faces can only be farmed during the Hollow’s End (October 18 to November 1). During this time, you need to go to Draenor and travel to Shadowmoon Valley (Warlords of Draenor). The coin drops on a small island west of Socrethar’s Wall. The highest drop chance is with Captain Bonechewer (4%). With other undead, the chance ranges between 1.3% and 2%.
Here you can farm the Coin of Many Faces – but only during the Hollow’s End.
The enemies present little threat to a well-equipped level 60 character and can be pulled in large numbers. On average, a coin drops every 15 to 30 minutes.
However, the coin is not bind on pickup. Since it drops relatively frequently during the Hollow’s End, many players sell it throughout the year on the auction house. Prices vary by realm and range from a few hundred gold pieces to five-digit amounts.
We have introduced more exciting items from WoW here:
A final tip: If you have gold on multiple realms, check the auction houses individually. Since the coin is a toy, it goes into your collection after use and is then available to all characters across all realms.
If you’re not in a hurry and are stingy, you can wait until the Hollow’s End in October and quickly farm the coin yourself. Everyone else can just buy it at the auction house.
Do you know of any other item that should definitely be highlighted more in the “Item Spotlight”?

With the new addon Endwalker, Final Fantasy XIV receives two new jobs. One of them is the melee fighter Reaper.
This is the new job: In FFXIV, Reapers draw their power from the Void, the 13th shard of Hydaelyn. They wield a scythe in battle and can even summon a non-ascendant to assist them in combat.
The Reaper attacks with quick strikes from their scythe and is a melee job. They wear armor with the affix “of the Maiming” and will share it with the Dragoon starting from Endwalker.
The new job actually comes from the antagonist Zenos yae Galvus, who will also wield a scythe in the new addon Endwalker. The exact mechanics behind the job are still unknown, but you can check it out in action:

When will Reaper be playable? The new job will debut with the addon Endwalker on November 23. However, pre-orders will allow players to access it starting November 19.
How do I unlock the Reaper? The requirements to unlock the Reaper are owning the addon Endwalker and having at least one combat job at level 70. The Reaper will also start at level 70.
The starting quest for the Reaper is located in Ul’dah. Its name is still unknown.

That’s why it looks like Bloodborne: The new job is definitely among the darker ones in FFXIV, alongside the Dark Knight. Accordingly, the appearance of the Reaper features a dark color scheme and a tattered look.
It heavily resembles the outfit of the Hunters from the action game Bloodborne. The cloak is dark and tattered, the hat obscures the face, and the job wields a scythe that is also available as a weapon in Bloodborne.
The Burial Blade is a special weapon used by a significant character in Bloodborne, and players can also acquire it if they are skilled enough.
As usual, Director Yoshida wore the Reaper’s armor as cosplay during the presentation of the new job. What do you think of the presentation of the new job from Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker? Does it visually appeal to you and gameplay-wise, or is it not for you at all?

Destiny 2 will have its first visit from Xur in Season 14 on May 14th. MeinMMO provides you with everything about his hidden location and the exotic inventory of the mysterious vendor. Read here which map is active in the Trials and which rare weapons are available this week.
This is what’s happening in the MMO shooter: Season 14, the Season of the Splicer, finally kicked off this week in Destiny 2. This means for you, new gear is up for grabs and new activities are waiting to be tackled.
However, when Season 14 started on May 11, Guardians first had to deal with severe server issues. Most annoyances have been resolved now, and you can set out to save the Last City from a Darkness simulation.
The friendly vendor Xur also brings you the necessary exotics this week. However, one highly praised exotic weapon is currently weaker than intended. Let’s find out if Xur’s gifts are all in top shape.
All information about Xur on May 15, 2021 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur come? In Destiny 2, Xur arrives every Friday at 7:00 PM. The mysterious NPC then chooses a planet of his choice, where he hides until May 18 at 7:00 PM – until the next weekly reset. If you find Xur, he sells you his random exotics.
What’s Xur offering? Xur always brings exotic weapons and armors. Which exotics these are exactly, no one knows in advance. If the Nine are merciful to you, Xur might have the gun you are missing or your favorite exotic with strong stats. MeinMMO takes a close look at his inventory.
Where is Xur? This is his location this weekend
Xur’s Position: You can find Xur this time on Nessus. Visit him on the tree in the area “Guardian’s Grave”.
Xur’s Location
Xur’s Inventory from May 15th to May 18th – A Summary of All Exotics
Weapon: The Jade Rabbit – Scout rifle for 29 Legendary Shards
Which map is active? The weekly recurring PvP mode Trials of Osiris always takes place on one map. This week, you will sweat on “Endless Vale”.
Remember that with the endgame bounty from Saint-14, you only receive loot for this week’s 3 wins just for participating (or “death running”). We will list what you can get for your wins and flawless runs throughout the evening.
3 wins or endgame bounty: Shayura’s Wrath (Submachine Gun) – a new 600 RPM SMG with Void damage from Season 14 (via light.gg)
5 wins: Eye of Sol (Sniper Rifle)
7 wins: Chest armor from the Trials set
Flawless: The Messenger (Pulse Rifle) as a master version
Shayura’s Wrath
When do the Trials run? Today, on May 14th, the Trials will start at 7 PM, coinciding with Xur’s arrival. You have until the weekly reset on May 18th to grind and collect the loot. Also, spend all your Trials tokens as they will expire.

In the WoW tower Torghast there will soon be new rewards. Most players will want them, as they enhance your character.
Torghast remains a feature that divides players of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands . Some love the tower and its absurd mechanics that make characters nearly unstoppable. Others get bored after the second visit, as everything repeats and there are too few rewards that have little value. But that could change. New rewards in Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination could make Torghast almost mandatory.
What has been discovered? With Patch 9.1, players can extend their stay in Torghast a bit longer – at least if they are in floors 9 and higher. If you achieve a good rating there and have unlocked the appropriate bonus in the box of many things, you will gain access to the Adamant Vaults. These are a few particularly tough levels with a new final boss that can leave behind rewards. And they seem to be quite valuable.
Torghast offers significantly more in Patch 9.1.
What rewards are there? In one of the last updates, the placeholder reward was exchanged. There are initial reports from testers who have received the following items:
Codex of Untapped Soulbinding: When used, you receive a random medium, selected from your currently lowest ranked mediums up to a maximum item level of 252.
Spatial Realignment Apparatus mk2: Adds a socket to an item that currently doesn’t have one. Can be applied to helmets, necklaces, bracers, belts, and rings.
So far, the items in Patch 9.1 could only be earned through a new rep grind with a new faction in Korthia.
More about WoW: Shadowlands and Patch 9.1 can be found here:
What does this mean? Currently, it looks like players have an additional option to obtain these two items if they don’t feel like grinding rep again. Those who already enjoy spending time in Torghast can also snag some upgrades for their character.
However, how high the drop chance for these items is still unclear. Blizzard will likely tune it so that the items cannot be farmed intentionally, but are rather a nice bonus. Perhaps you can already get a few sockets while farming rep.
Those who are not keen on much Torghast will play only until they can upgrade the legendary items and then focus on the new rep. However, players who enjoy spending time in the tower are likely to be pleased with the new features.
Please keep in mind that this information comes from the test realm. Things can still change before the release of Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination.
Do you think it’s good if Torghast brings more rewards that also have a benefit for player power? Or is it rather annoying, and Torghast should be purely cosmetic?

Players in Pokémon GO are reporting that there are currently few balls to be found. An important mechanic that especially village players loved is currently missed before the Community Day with Swablu.
What is it about? In Pokémon GO, there are currently complaints from players about a shortage of balls. Two topics are currently being hotly discussed on reddit that revolve around the problem. In this context, players express the desire for the function to return that buddy Pokémon bring balls.
Why such a feature is also important now for the Community Day with Swablu, you can find out here on MeinMMO.
Ball Shortage in Pokémon GO? Trainers say: Yes
What players are saying: On reddit, the topic of Pokéballs is currently THE discussion. One thread is titled “The shortage of Pokéballs is becoming extremely evident” (via reddit.com). There are over 419 comments on it. Many trainers agree and explain that they are missing the important items. This is what’s being discussed:
Despite opening gifts and spinning PokéStops, balls are scarce
Players in countries with lockdown almost never have balls
However, the topic is controversial. Trainers with access to multiple PokéStops say they can always fill their supplies quickly. It is suspected that trainers are catching more Pokémon during the current event and therefore are fundamentally slower in saving balls for events like the Community Day with Swablu.
Trainers demand that buddy Pokémon should bring balls again
It becomes clear, however, that more and more players in rural areas are complaining. They may have one PokéStop nearby or even none at all. The affected trainers have to travel long distances to spin a stop. Here, a wish arises that is currently being discussed in another thread on reddit:
“With the Swablu Community Day being held this weekend, there is an immense need for the reintroduction of buddy Pokémon that bring balls every hour” (via reddit.com).
This is the request: Here, user twolobster writes that he lives in a rural area in India, where strict lockdown is in place. He notes that he regularly experiences a shortage of Pokéballs. “Since I also play PvP, it was a nice gesture that legendaries were added to the reward pool; however, you need somewhere between 10 and 30 balls to catch one if you want to keep playing, which further depletes resources,” writes the topic creator.
He explains that Altaria is a Pokémon that requires 400 candies to evolve from Swablu. He says Niantic needs to bring back the buddy feature for this Community Day so that players stuck at home can have an easier time.
The solution was already there before
The buddy feature was also active during the Community Day with Samurzel (in May 2020). Regularly, your super buddy would run off and bring balls from stops. In the video by Cassie Rose, you can see what such a gift delivery from your buddy looked like:

This way, players in rural areas were also supplied with balls and could catch many Pokémon during the Community Days. It was really good for village players. But the feature was then disabled again. Instead, trainers are supposed to receive balls more frequently through gifts and stop spins.
This is the problem: In rural areas, there are only a few stops or gyms that can provide you with balls. Additionally, you also need to have some luck when spinning a stop to get balls. With buddies, there were guaranteed balls, but those have been removed.
Moreover, at the current time, COVID-19 is still active, and there are strict restrictions depending on the region. Therefore, trainers wish to receive balls again through their buddy Pokémon.
What is your situation with the Pokéball shortage? Do you notice it in your inventory or do you always have enough balls to participate comfortably in big catching events with the Community Day? Feel free to share whether you wish for the buddy feature to return, or if you are currently satisfied.

In Destiny 2, seasonal challenges are said to give 40 – 60 % less experience points than recently before. The Guardians are annoyed that the tasks in Season 14 promise significantly more experience and that the change to the XP happened secretly.
Destiny 2 just kicked off the new Season of the Splicer on May 11 to satisfy the content hunger of the Guardians. However, a new discovery regarding seasonal progress is now ruining the mood for some Guardians.
Is there now less EXP? One of the main sources of experience in Destiny 2 is the seasonal challenges. Week after week, up to 10 tasks from various areas are added, giving players a kind of guide through the season. Completing them yields large amounts of experience as well as the premium currency Glimmer as a reward.
However, this large amount of experience points is supposed to be 40 – 60 % lower than in the previous season.
On reddit, Guardians are calculating exactly how much experience they received from seasonal challenges just a few days ago and how stingy the new seasonal challenges of Season 14 are.

Players find this cheeky: The Guardians wonder if these changes to experience gain have been communicated by Bungie anywhere.
A glance at the patch notes of the new season reveals only: “A new XP bonus size system has been introduced for seasonal challenges.” (via Bungie.net). There is no mention of an XP reduction.
The seasonal challenges now promise a lot of experience. Here it says “extra XP” or even “2 times extra XP” – in the previous Season 13 it only said “+XP”.
The new description suggests a real downpour of experience points, while the actual amount is lower. This annoys the Guardians, making them feel cheated.
Has Bungie commented on this? So far (May 14, 1 PM) we have not found any statement from developer Bungie or any of the community managers regarding the XP issue.
It could also be a bug that incorrectly reduces the accrued experience points.
This reminds us of 2017: Bungie had real problems with experience points or not enough of them back in 2017. At that time, the Destiny developers remorsefully said: “XP issues in Destiny 2 made us look like greedy fools.” At that time, the community referred to an EXP disaster and accused Bungie of deliberate manipulation.
Why do you need experience? In Destiny 2, you do not need EXP directly to increase your character’s level. However, the experience benefits the seasonal artifact and the season pass.
In the season pass, there are 100 levels with rewards, including 2 new legendary weapons and the fresh Stasis exotic – which is only available to non-paying Guardians at level 35. Otherwise, you will find plenty of resources and stylish cosmetics here.
The seasonal artifact gives you access to powerful mods and even grants you a bonus to your power level – so you can better master endgame activities like the raid, at least in the current season.
Although EXP does not directly relate to your power level, that is, the power of your weapons and armor, you still feel a power increase through experience and earn new items faster through the artifact.
Since Guardians are naturally impatient, they are always looking for ways to maximize experience gain as quickly as possible. For many, part of the ritual in preparation for a new season is to hoard bounties and then bring the experience gained into the new season. And the perk that increases experience gains is already set for most.
What do you think, is it okay that seasonal challenges give less experience points? Or has Bungie really missed the mark with the new description?
On the other hand, the maximum power level this season has only increased by +10, so you don’t need too much support from the artifact. Some Guardians on reddit even say that you level the season pass in Destiny 2 too quickly and experience currently seems abundant – can you relate to that and wish for more grind? Let us know in the comments.
In Dead by Daylight players can currently hear strange noises. This is not a bug, but a small event.
Those who have played Dead by Daylight in the last few days may have heard a small, nasty laugh that occurs during the endgame collapse. At first, some players thought it was a sound bug, but that is not the case. It is a small, more or less hidden event that offers an exclusive reward.
What is that laughter? The laughter can only be heard during the endgame collapse, that is, after all generators have been activated and at least one of the gates has been opened. The laugh sounds quite close, as if the source is right near the player, but that is misleading.
What do you have to do? The laughter signals that Gnome Chompski has appeared somewhere on the map. He is a small garden gnome with a red hat and a long beard. He can be found and then “crushed” by both survivors and the killer. If this is done, the laughter usually sounds again after a few seconds. Then the gnome has respawned elsewhere and another player can crush him again.

What reward is there? If you crush the gnome as a survivor and then escape, you will receive the little garden gnome as a charm. Survivors can wear it on their belt. Killers, on the other hand, only need to crush the gnome (and probably let the survivors escape) to unlock the charm. They can use it to decorate their hooks.
Who is Gnome Chompski? Gnome Chompski (or “garden gnome”) is a recurring element in the Half-Life and Left 4 Dead series. Usually, the gnome is associated with some rather difficult achievements. In Left 4 Dead 2, players had to carry the gnome through an amusement park overrun by zombies. Over several maps, players had to carry the gnome with them. The problem: As long as the gnome was in their hands, no weapon could be used. So the player needed protection from their teammates.
As a little Easter egg, Gnome Chompski is now also available in Dead by Daylight. Get him while you have the chance.
The only 16-year-old Cody “Clix” Conrod is one of the biggest Twitch streamers of the online shooter Fortnite, but now there’s trouble with Epic Games: They have banned his lucrative Creator Code. The background is a bad joke.
This is Clix: The 16-year-old is today what Ninja was in 2018 and Tfue in 2019 for Fortnite: the face of the online shooter. When Clix is playing Fortnite, nearly 30,000 people watch him.
However, Clix has often caught attention for strange actions. For instance, he has developed a preference for betting real money in Fortnite and has already received a reprimand from Epic for it.
This is what Clix now says: The 16-year-old says he thought it would be clear as a joke. But he sees that he represents a company and shouldn’t have tweeted that.
This is behind it: What makes the situation so serious from Epic’s perspective is certainly the “I secretly put something in a woman’s drink” aspect: This shows parallels to rapes, in which women in bars are deliberately sedated with so-called “date rape drugs” and then abused. Therefore, women have been advised for years not to leave their drinks unattended.
Clix may not even be aware of this, but with the joke he clearly crossed a line for Epic Games.
The incident reminds of an absurd tweet from a major Destiny streamer who jokingly announced to have sex with hamsters, who died during the process:
That The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S) would be such a great success for so long, the team did not expect, according to Matt Firor from Zenimax Studios.
The long-term success of ESO was a surprise: The MMORPG ESO is a great success and continues to do very well even after seven years. According to Matt Firor, the team did not expect the game to be successful for so long, even though they hoped for it and certainly worked towards it. Firor states:
I think we all knew that ESO would still exist seven years after its launch. But none of us thought that the MMORPG would still be so successful after 7 years.
We managed to launch ESO in 2014 and to continuously develop the game over time to make it more accessible for the players. This has resulted in our later years, especially the last year, being more successful than most of the years before. In many ways, ESO is still growing, which we certainly did not expect.
The trailer for ESO: Blackwood reveals more about the new story.
ESO will run for a long time
How long will ESO continue to run? The MMORPG launched in April 2014 on PC and in the summer of 2015 on PS4 and Xbox One. With seven years, ESO is no longer the youngest online role-playing game, but there are significantly older genre representatives that are still active.
However, MMORPGs are occasionally discontinued, and the fans lose their second home because of this. Therefore, the question of how long ESO will run is interesting for the community. Regarding this, producer Matt Firor from Zenimax Studios has commented:
That is a question we keep asking ourselves. And, I think, the answer is quite simple. The community will tell us when the game starts to head towards its end. But that is not the case yet. We are still growing in many ways.
ESO is a global game. We have people from almost every country in the world that log in at some point. It is huge and played by a very, very diverse group of people. It’s not just “hardcore MMO fans”. … People will continue to play it, and we will continue to create content for them as long as they are there.
So as long as ESO has fans and is played with enjoyment, the servers will continue to run. That should be reassuring for the community. It will also continue after the Blackwood expansion.
ESO is not really an MMO? Matt Firor mentioned another interesting thing, as he states that the team does not see ESO as an MMORPG at all. He explains that the development of the game began in 2007. At that time, the goal was to develop an MMO for the popular role-playing series The Elder Scrolls. However, over the years, the gaming market changed. When ESO was released in 2014, the developers no longer saw it as an MMO.
It simply had too little in common with the MMORPGs that were successful at that time. It was not World of Warcraft, Dark Age of Camelot, or Everquest. The gameplay differed too much from these titles. For example, there was no tab-targeting, quests were presented differently, and there was not too much grinding. Instead, ESO was meant to be an online game where players could experience adventures together.
Matt Firor explains:
We wanted to let many people online experience the fun elements of a fantasy game, but we did not want the baggage of older titles.
Do you play ESO and does Matt Firor’s statement about how long the MMORPG will last reassure you?
WoW Classic is getting its first expansion, The Burning Crusade, soon – basically for the second time. However, TBC Classic will not be exactly as it was 14 years ago. There will be some changes, and one of the newer ones is good for all players.
This is the change: The developers have announced that the distance of nameplates in TBC Classic will be increased. Instead of showing enemy nameplates only up to 20 meters away as before, it will now be up to 41 meters.
According to Blizzard, this feature should have been in the game earlier, but the developers encountered technical limits back then (via Blizzard). In the beta, you can smoothly adjust the distance between 0 and 41 meters with the following command:
A similar command worked for a short time in WoW Classic but was disabled after a while. In TBC Classic, the feature is supposed to be implemented by default.
Currently, you still have to get quite close to the enemies to see the nameplates. A beta patch should change that.
What does the change affect? Many players are used to recognizing or targeting enemies through their nameplates thanks to the new WoW or addons. But with just 20 meters, it is hard to see which enemy is in front of you. So the change helps:
while leveling, to locate quest mobs more easily
in PvE in dungeons and raids, to see enemies better
in PvP for better overview of the battlefield
Especially mages and hunters will be pleased. The two classes have the highest range in the game at 41 meters and can now also see the nameplates of the enemies they attack before getting significantly closer.
TBC Classic will not be the same as 14 years ago
What else is changing: Although TBC Classic is intended to be as close to the original as possible, there are some changes to the game compared to before. Most of these are mainly quality changes, but balancing is also being adjusted. Some of the most important differences include:
Paladins of both factions have access to seals that were normally reserved for Horde (Seal of Blood) and Alliance (Seal of Retribution)
Arena teams can now comprise double the number of players as the list they play in (e.g. four players in 2v2)
Drums leave a tinnitus debuff, preventing them from being used for two minutes
The discussion on whether TBC Classic should remain completely the same or receive changes has been occupying the community since the announcement. At least the nameplates are received largely positively (via reddit).
When does TBC Classic come out? On June 2nd, you can once again cross through the Dark Portal and explore the shattered world. The pre-patch starts on May 19th. There you can even play the new races of Blood Elves and Draenei to prepare a character.
With TBC Classic, you can choose to continue playing your classic character up to level 70 or copy it so that it exists in both TBC and Classic. However, this will cost money. The costs have upset the community significantly and Blizzard has responded by reducing the costs by 50%.
