World of Warcraft offers a lot of secrets that players must uncover. One of these secrets has now been revealed by chance and subsequently confirmed by ambitious seekers: the secret mount Slime Snake.
What kind of mount is this? The Slime Snake is a massive worm with teeth. Visually, the mount resembles “N’zoth’s black serpent“, only with a green-yellow, slightly paler color.
The hunter player Durandil discovered this while actually recording footage for a completely different video, namely on how to complete Plaguefall on Mythic difficulty solo:

What do I need to do? There are essentially only three steps you need to follow to get the snake:
Visit the dungeon Plaguefall on Heroic or Mythic difficulty solo
Defeat the last two bosses – you can skip the trash and the first bosses
Pet the Slime Snake
After defeating Baroness Stradama, you will find a “Strange Slime Snake” in the boss room of Domina Venomblade in the Plagueborne Pools. Approach the snake and pet it.
It is important that there can only be one player in the dungeon at all times. Apparently, it is possible for a player to defeat all trash and Domina Venomblade, then leave the dungeon to allow a second player to get the kill on the final boss and thus the snake.
According to experts from the Secret Finding Discord, this is currently the only reliable way to assist your friends. Otherwise, it all works only reliably if you are solo (via Discord).
Why it is difficult: At the moment, most classes have trouble completing Plaguefall solo. Apparently, only tank classes and Beast Mastery hunters can do it without major issues.
Other classes, especially those with few survival options such as mages, may have greater difficulties. However, since the mount is account-bound, you can also try it with a corresponding twink.
Is there no other way? At the moment, the aforementioned method is the only one that works reliably. Any attempt to acquire the snake with a group has failed.
However, it is conceivable that there is a specific trigger that is simply easier or is always triggered when playing solo. In other words: perhaps teammates unintentionally sabotage the attempt to tame the snake.
Those who really want the snake are probably well-advised to level up a tank – such as a Blood Death Knight. That might still take less time than finding another way. And truly determined players are not deterred by some grind:
In the League of Legends, Hampus “promisq” Abrahamsson made it to the finals of Worlds 2019 with G2 Esports. Two years later, it turns out that the 27-year-old Swede is a hard flamer, even by LoL standards.
Therefore, promisq is well-known: The Swede was part of G2 Esports in 2019, one of the most successful teams in Europe in recent years. The team managed to win the LEC in 2019 and later almost became world champions. G2 only fell short against “SuperCarry Doinb” and his team FunPlus Phoenix in the finals of Worlds 2019.
promisq stepped in as a substitute supporter for G2 because there were concerns about a recurring injury to the main supporter, Mikyx; thus, he was part of G2 from March to November 2019, but was ultimately rarely needed.
At the moment, he plays for the team “Astralis” as starting supporter in the LEC: They finished second to last in the regular season.
The top team of G2 in 2019. promisq is the 2nd from the left.
“Brain-dead Asperger child”
This is now coming to light: A high-elo player has publicly revealed how much of a flamer the Swede is. He allegedly pressured him to play the champion Renekton in a ranked game. If he didn’t, promisq would sabotage the game on purpose.
After the game, the high-elo player asked what problem promisq had with him. He replied curtly: ‘Hope you get cancer! Have a nice day.’
The player says: One must have a huge ego to say something like that. Because he thinks the only meaningful thing promisq has ever achieved is “to win a tournament he didn’t even play in.”

Subsequently, the strategy coach of Cloud 9 came forward and shared his experiences with promisq. He says he has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. This is generally known.
promisq then asked him in a match how “hard he had been dropped as a baby” and called him a “brain-dead Asperger child.”
Team says: The behavior does not align with our values
This is how his team reacts: Astralis has distanced itself from this behavior in a statement and condemned it. It does not align with the team’s values.
They will now resolve the matter with promisq internally.

promisq is already 27 and things did not go well for Astralis in the Spring Split at all. It could be that promisq is leaving the professional scene of LoL on this highly unfavorable note.
In LoL, flaming is somehow part of the culture. Riot Games once explained in a video series why the players of this MOBA often tread this dark path:
The MMORPG Tower of Fantasy (PC, Mobile) is hosting a Closed Beta in China. Several gameplay videos have now been uploaded on YouTube from this test. The game visually resembles Genshin Impact, but with a combat system that places a strong emphasis on action.
What does the new gameplay show? In China, there was a Closed Beta that was not region-locked. Therefore, players from all over the world were able to create videos of Tower of Fantasy.
Notably, the action-packed combat system and the dark storyline distinctly set this MMORPG apart from Genshin Impact.
You can check out the introduction to the MMORPG in this YouTube video by Steparu:

Gameplay focused on the combat system of Tower of Fantasy.
In addition to the battles, exploring the open world is a focal point. There, you can jump particularly high, climb, glide, swim, and also use mounts.
Since Tower of Fantasy is set in a rather modern world, you can use motorcycles as mounts, for example.
What is the story? This is currently hard to say, as the game was only playable in Chinese. However, in the first gameplay video, you see a female character who guides us through the tutorial dying. Overall, the story appears darker than in Genshin Impact.
The beta was not locked for western players, but release is still uncertain
Will the MMORPG come to us? Officially, the developer Hotta Studio and publisher Perfect World have not yet commented on this. Currently, it is only known that Tower of Fantasy is set to launch in China in summer 2021.
However, Perfect World has already released games such as the eponymous MMORPG, Neverwinter, or Magic Legends in the West.
It is also positive that the beta of Tower of Fantasy did not have a region lock. Anyone could play in the West if they wanted, but only with Chinese texts and corresponding voiceovers.
Can you still participate in the beta? No, sign-ups have since been closed. However, you can register for the game in advance:
For this, you need an account on TapTap or the international version Tap.io
On both, you can register with a Western email address or phone number
Then, visit the subpage for Tower of Fantasy (you can simply type it into the search bar). On the page, you can register in advance
While the global release of Tower of Fantasy is still uncertain, the release of a new Chinese MMORPG has been confirmed for us. Swords of Legends will be released in summer 2021 on Steam and Epic for us. You can learn more about the game here:
Some players have found a glitch in Fortnite that allows them to survive in the storm indefinitely. Unfair players exploit this to secure easy victories in Fortnite, as seen in a reddit clip.
Players have now found a way to ‘copy’ items, thus giving them an endless supply. This advantage is quite unfair if used correctly. A similar situation occurred in Fortnite when players could suddenly spawn thousands of healing items:
Glitch allows players to survive in the storm indefinitely
What kind of glitch is this? The YouTuber “OrgangeGuy” shared a video on his channel showing how to use a glitch to copy an infinite number of healing items (via YouTube). The video has now garnered over 48,000 views and appears to be making rounds.
Players are now also showing on reddit how this can affect a normal match. One player lingered in the storm and copied floppers that he could then eat to regenerate health points. Normally, the storm would have drained all his health points and he would have been eliminated in his desperate situation – but the glitch allowed him to prevent this and even win the match.

This is why this exploit is a serious problem: In Fortnite Battle Royale, everything revolves around the epic victory. The goal is to be the last team standing on the battlefield.
However, if players are now using this glitch, the opposing teams have no chance of winning. This is quite unfair considering that achieving a victory is not easy. While the glitch requires a bit of practice, it can lead to unfair wins if an experienced player is behind it.
Glitches lead to unfair victories that can surprise any honest player out of nowhere
Is a fix for the bug coming now? It is possible that Epic will respond to this glitch and introduce a fix with the next update or even rollout a hotfix. However, there has been no feedback from Epic so far, and the exploit has not yet been listed on the Fortnite Trello.
Since the glitch provides unfair advantages, we recommend that you do not use it, as it violates the rules and could lead to an account ban.
Recently, Epic made some changes to the game primarily affecting weapon balance. A few weapons received a buff and now players should fear the new bows.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Slay Together is a classic MMORPG that focuses on the essential aspects of the genre and has transitioned from Free2Play to Buy2Play and now back to Free2Play. This has been well received by players on Steam.
What is Slay Together? The indie team Owl Tribe Entertainment does not aim to introduce major innovations to the MMORPG genre. Instead, the developers focus on breaking the game down to the essential elements of an online role-playing game and making them as fun as possible.
You create a character that does not belong to a class
By using weapons, you improve in the associated skills
You team up with other players to complete quests and fight monsters
It is important to collect loot to obtain new, powerful equipment
Equipment can be upgraded
You explore a vast game world, where you can use mounts
As you can see, it is basically about hunting monsters in a team, completing quests, collecting loot, and improving your character. It is a very simple game that anyone can easily get into and experience success relatively quickly.
What that looks like is shown in the trailer for Slay Together:
https://youtu.be/sRCMM6TpLOE
How do you join? You simply download the MMORPG Slay Together via Steam. It is a Free2Play game. The MMORPG started for free in 2019 but switched to a Pay2Play model in early 2020 to fund further development. Now you can play the title for free again (via Steam).
How is the game received on Steam? The 330 reviews are at 70% and “Mostly Positive” (as of April 19, 10 AM). It is still an early access title that does not yet offer all features and content. You need to be aware of this if you want to participate.
Here we summarize some voices from the community for you:
monx writes with a little wink (via Steam): “This is better than Fortnite!”
Medicinefox thinks (via Steam): “Overall a fun little game. It was made with a lot of love and is very engaging. It is definitely recommended for those looking for something fun and quick.”
Dakie explains (via Steam): “I really do not want it to fail. I have completed everything there was to do in the Early Access version so far, and it hit my MMORPG nerve. It was charming. It was straightforward. It has that old-school feeling that I really enjoyed. I can’t wait to see new areas, enemies, and equipment.”
Horny Alpaca is less enthusiastic (via Steam): “The game is very repetitive and not really good. It’s easy to play, but so far it’s quite boring. I understand, however, that it is still in Early Access.”
Who is Slay Together suitable for? You should not expect a comprehensive and complex MMORPG with many innovations. If you just want to fight through hordes of monsters, find loot, and have fun with friends, then Slay Together is worth a look. You should also keep in mind that it is still an early access title that is missing a lot of content.
It is said: They had started paying streamers for “Sponsored Streams” and felt like they had “set a lot of money on fire” when they could not even stream. Therefore, a quick decision was made – most streamers had not even asked for this and should not be blamed now.
Chris Wilson acknowledged a “clear mistake”.
The favoritism was simply a mistake. Instead of giving viewers something to watch while they waited, they just made those who wanted to get into the game angry:
They completely understand the players’ anger.
They will not do such things in the future, but focus on ensuring that the next queue runs better.
In streamer collaborations, Grinding Gear Games will ensure that they handle such situations better in the future.
No one likes people who cut in line
This is what it’s about: The problem here is that this favoritism is clearly visible to everyone, namely via Twitch. We also find it intolerable in real life when others “cut in line” or are treated better than we are. It’s no different online.
This was obviously one of those “quick, quick” decisions that were not thought through.
Hopefully, Path of Exile 2 is more thought out, they have some plans for the future:
There is already a conspiracy theory about Path of Exile that streamers enjoy special conditions, “streamer accounts” that receive much better drops than regular accounts – this has now been fueled further.
“The world is simply unfair”
This further heated up the atmosphere: On Reddit, players quickly got into a “pitchforks out” mood. Now clips of Twitch streamers were shared who wanted to cope with the attacks on them.
A streamer explained: Life is simply not fair. Everyone must clearly see that. If you are born in Africa, you have a high chance of growing up without clean water. That is also not fair. So it is just like this now with the “Priority Queue” for streamers in Path of Exile.
This did not go down well with the fans.

At the launch of the new season “Ultimatum”, long wait times occurred to access the servers in Path of Exile. However, the developers ensured that Twitch streamers could bypass the queue. This really angered the regular players.
Path of Exile regularly brings new seasons, which function like mini expansions. These are clearly the highlight of the year – the rush to the servers during a good season is enormous. Because at the start of a season, there are new leaderboards, the race starts over, everyone wants to play as much as possible as quickly as possible.
Streamers are paid to play and allowed to skip the queue
This was the favoritism towards the streamers: The rush for “Ultimatum” was so large this weekend that a queue had to be introduced to ease the load on the servers.
The developers had paid some streamers for “Sponsored Streams” at the start of the season to promote Path of Exile on Twitch.
In order for the streamers to access the servers, the developers allowed them to skip the queue, granting them “Priority Queue” and letting them onto the servers sooner.
Streamer Quin69 could hardly believe his luck when he suddenly found himself in Path of Exile:
This was the reaction: As you can imagine, the “regular players” were quite pissed off:
On one hand, they felt that streamers were “something better”. They could now watch them do what they themselves would love to do: play Path of Exile. Especially people who invested money in Path of Exile said: They are also important and support the game. Where is their preferential treatment?
On the other hand, they criticized the developers for creating a distortion of competition if streamers start the season early and gain advantages.

In Destiny 2, you should help decide which exotic weapons will receive new ornaments. Because for Guardians, not only combat power matters, but also appearance. We show you all 12 options and how to participate in the voting.
This is what you should decide: Bungie wants to give some exotic weapons a new look. However, the Destiny developer can’t quite decide which of the 12 Exotics needs a fresh ornament the most. This is where you, the Guardians, come into play.
You can vote and thus help decide which 3 Exotics will be able to go into battle with a new ornament in the future. It is already known that Guardians not only want to be strong but also want to look good while slaying aliens. Fortunately, real transmog is already coming from May 2021.
MeinMMO presents all 12 available Exotics, explains how the voting works, and shows you all the eligible weapons with their standard appearances.
What are ornaments in Destiny 2? What is called “skin” in many other games is “ornaments” in Destiny. Both legendary and exotic gear can change their appearance – sometimes drastically, as a weapon can turn into the Final Fantasy sword. If you just change the color or pattern of your gear, you, as a Guardian, use a “shader”. Both ornaments and shaders are almost always just cosmetic (Some weapons benefit from the alternative appearance).
These weapons are available for selection:
Crimson (Crimson)
Fighting Lion (Fighting Lion)
Graviton Lance (Graviton Lance)
Le Monarque (Le Monarque)
Merciless (Merciless)
Riskrunner (Riskrunner)
Skyburner’s Oath (Skyburner’s Oath)
Sunshot (Sunshot)
Sweet Business (Sweet Business)
Telesto (Telesto)
Trinity Ghoul (Trinity Ghoul)
Vigilance Wing (Vigilance Wing)
Scharlach, Löwengebrüll, Graviton-Lanze und Le Monarque
Unbarmherzig, Risikoreich, Himmelsbrennereid und Sonnenschuss
Arbeitstier, Telesto, Dreifaltigkeitsghoul und Schwingen der Wachsamkeit
When will the new skins be available? Bungie reported that they are still in the early development phase with the exotic ornaments (via Bungie.net). Guardians should expect the 3 winners of the voting in early 2022.
Which Exotic needs a new ornament in Destiny 2?
This is how you vote: Simply follow the link embedded below. You can only participate once, but currently, there is no date for when the survey closes.
Question 1: You should choose which class is your main.
Question 2: You should type in which weapon you prefer to play with – it doesn’t have to be an Exotic (what you write here ultimately doesn’t matter, even gibberish is okay).
For Question 3, you then select up to 3 options from the 12 mentioned Exotics. Since the survey is in English, we have provided the English names in parentheses above.
While some Exotics on the list already have 3 ornaments, the poisonous bow Le Monarque is still completely without an alternative look. You can change that now or do you prefer even more options for Sunshot or Crimson – somehow hand cannons always seem to get a special treatment in Destiny 2.
On Wednesday, April 21, 2021, the new TOTW 30 will be released in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. Who could be in the Team of the Week? We take a look at the TOTW Predictions.
What is the Team of the Week? Each week, EA assembles a new TOTW. This team consists of 23 players who performed strongly during the past football weekend.
For this, they receive a spot in the Team of the Week as well as improved Inform cards that can be found in packs for one week.
These are TOTW Predictions: The FUT community tries to speculate which players could make it into the TOTW. The performances of the players are closely examined and predictions are made.
However, it is important to note that the predictions are not a guarantee for the final TOTW 30.
The predictions provide an excellent overview and can also be used to earn some coins in FUT 21. What you need to do for that, we will explain here:
These Bundesliga players could be seen in the new TOTW:
Owners of the Headliners card for Erling Haaland could have reason to celebrate this week, as Haaland played strongly and scored 2 goals for BVB.
Christian Günter from SC Freiburg scored 2 goals in the 4:0 victory against Schalke. A performance for which the offensive defender deserves an Inform card.
Dayot Upamecano had a strong game in the draw against Hoffenheim and could have earned a spot in the new TOTW 30.
The Gladbach player Ramy Bensebaini impressed with a strong performance against Eintracht Frankfurt and even contributed a goal to the 4:0 final score.
Leon Bailey played really strong against 1. FC Köln and was involved in all three goals. He scored two himself and assisted the third. An Inform card seems likely to be.
Tomorrow, on April 20, the big Sustainability Week starts in Pokémon GO. We will show you all the bonuses and reveal what is worth it the most.
When does the event take place? It starts on April 20 at 10:00 AM local time. You can take advantage of the event for 5 days until it ends on April 25 at 8:00 PM.
During this time, certain Pokémon related to the theme of sustainability will appear in the wild. Additionally, there will be a campaign focusing on sustainability.
Sustainability Week brings Bithora and Shiny Unratütox
These are the bonuses: All bonuses are centered around the theme of sustainability. Here’s an overview:
A sustainability campaign is available (more information about it further down in the article)
Bithora appears for the first time in Pokémon GO
The following Pokémon will appear in the wild: Sleima, Rotomurf, Unratütox, and Kastadur
Shiny Unratütox is available for the first time
In 5 km eggs, you’ll find: Digda, Tangela, Goldini, Knospi, Kikugi, Finneon, and Rotomurf
There are exclusive quests and a limited-time research
A free T-shirt for your avatar will be available
This is included in the sustainability campaign: Something similar was already held in Pokémon GO in 2019. This time, you will be encouraged to do something good for the environment individually. You can clean up trash in your neighborhood or plant a tree. If you share this on your social media channels and use the hashtag #SustainableWithNiantic and tag @NianticLabs, the developers will evaluate your action.
If enough trainers participate, all players worldwide will be rewarded. The levels are as follows:
2,500 posts: Level-5 raids will occur more frequently
5,000 posts: A box with 3 free remote raid passes will be available in the in-game shop
10,000 posts: There will be double XP for catching Pokémon
Which Shinys are available in the event? The highlight is, of course, the new Shiny Unratütox. You can recognize it easily, as the shiny form is significantly darker than the normal Unratütox.
The spawns of Kastadur and Sleima will also be interesting. Especially, Kastadur appears quite rarely outside of events, so you should take the opportunity.
This is the shiny family of Unratütox.
What can the new Pokémon do? Bithora can evolve into Thanathora. Both monsters are of the Rock and Water types. However, they play no significant role in the Pokémon GO meta, as the stats of the monsters are simply too weak. They are more worth it for the Pokédex entry.
What’s next in Pokémon GO? While April is slowly coming to an end, a lot is still happening in Pokémon GO. This includes raid and spotlight hours, but also a friendship day and an event focused on New Pokémon Snap. You can find an overview of all events here:
Since April 1st, the new loot shooter Outriders has officially launched and opinions are quite divided – especially regarding difficulty. Some find even the highest difficulty level easy, while others struggle with the story. MeinMMO wants to know from you: How hard do you find Outriders?
You can adjust the difficulty in the story through a total of 15 World Tiers. Later in the endgame, there is a specific difficulty level in expeditions that you can also adjust.
Generally, the rule is: the harder you make it for yourself, the better the loot will be. And loot is what makes a loot shooter. Only those who really put in the effort will get to the coveted legendaries of the game faster.
However, it seems that Outriders is not easy or hard for all players in the same way. The difficulty level is a recurring topic of conversation.
What’s it about: The discussion about the difficulty of Outriders comes up repeatedly, both here on MeinMMO and even internally in our editorial team. Some players find Outriders easy or just right, while others can hardly reach the next difficulty level.
While the difficulty can be chosen, everyone has their own sense of how hard or easy something should be, especially if they know their gear and build. Therefore, we now want to know from you whether you find Outriders too hard, too easy, or just right.
How did you vote? And which class do you play? What do you think is the reason for the different perceptions of Outriders’ difficulty? Leave us a comment!
If you’ve already completed the story and are now tackling the expeditions, there are some tricks to help you get through:
In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online there are various types of status effects. In this article, we at MeinMMO explain what exactly lies behind effects like fear, stun, or burning.
In ESO, there are abilities that cause a so-called status effect. At the same time, there are also weapons and armor that interact with status effects. Therefore, it is important to know what a status effect is and how it works.
What status effects are there? In total, there are 17 status effects that can be divided into 3 types.
Type 1 are the “elemental” effects, which often deal direct damage or damage over time. What
You can remove status effects or “break” out of them
What can you do against status effects? There are 4 things you can do against status effects in ESO:
In principle, all status effects can be removed or “cleansed” with certain abilities. Especially healers can often do this.
By pressing attack and block at the same time, you free yourself from hard CC. This includes: knocked down, stun, disoriented, and knocked back. However, this will consume stamina.
Soft CC can be easily removed by dodging. Again, stamina is consumed.
However, the most effective way to deal with status effects is to prevent them just before they are applied. This can be done by blocking (except in the case of fear), dodging, or reflecting. This way, you effectively prevent status effects from negatively impacting you.
In ESO, the release of the new expansion Blackwood is coming soon. We have gathered all information about it here:
In recent days, there has been quite a stir about Path of Exile and developer Grinding Gear Games. This is related to accusations from a supposed player that turned out to be a troll action. What is going on?
The story starts with a reddit post from user poelegalthrowaway00. He accused the PoE developer of recently banning him. The reason was supposedly that he used macros.
According to his own account, the player is physically impaired and relies on macros to play PoE. This accusation quickly sparked outrage and anger among readers and spread like wildfire, first on reddit, then on Twitter.
Grinding Gear Games received numerous angry messages and complaints regarding the case.
What are macros? They are recorded commands or command chains that get called and then execute the stored sequence of commands. Therefore, macros are used not only in gaming but also in spreadsheets, word processing, or databases.
Macros can provide advantages in games through automatic inputs. For example, if you are playing a healing class in an MMORPG, you can assign the healing skill, mana potion, and targeting the desired team member to one key (via gaming-zubehoer.org).
Players with disabilities often rely on tools that allow them to fully utilize the game. We recently reported on a blind player who can use a voice input tool to access the chat.
Why are macros a problem? They provide a significant advantage in multiplayer and online games over other players and are therefore usually against the rules.
Ban for using macros?
This is behind the accusation: In the subreddit /legaladvice, user poelegalthrowaway00 asked for legal advice. He stated that he was banned in Path of Exile. He mentioned that due to a workplace accident, he cannot use one hand and some fingers of the other do not function properly.
Therefore, he relies on pedals and macro control to play Path of Exile. However, the developers banned him, supposedly due to the macros. In his post, which has since been deleted, he stated:
[…] I cannot use one hand and some fingers of the other due to an industrial accident. I do things on the computer using a mouse and three foot pedals. I play the game Path of Exile and in the game, you need to refresh four potion buffs every three to eight seconds. I physically cannot press all four keys every few seconds, so I use a macro that does it automatically for me.
I was recently banned for that, I have spent hundreds of dollars on this account. […] So my question is, should a lawyer look into this, or is it just a waste of their time?
The photo of the Reddit post has been published on PCGamer.com and comes from Discord. (via Discord). Although macros are prohibited in most games, other factors play a more significant role for players who are physically impaired.
The “cry for help” quickly spread from reddit to Twitter. More and more people sympathized with poelegalthrowaway00 and wanted to know from the developer how they justified this alleged ban.
The gaming website PCGamer.com contacted the developers at Grinding Gear Games and asked for a statement. However, they strangely could not find a ban that matched the situation described by poelegalthrowaway00.
Grinding Gear Games CEO Chris Wilson told PCGamer: “We are curious about what happened here, as a ban for such a thing does not align with our internal policy and we cannot find any evidence that it occurred.” So what was going on? In the meantime, the mood on Twitter grew increasingly angry, and the topic continued to spread.
For instance, Steve Sposh from Able Games spoke up, emphasizing their advocacy for gamers with physical impairments, calling on the developers to clarify the case. The waves grew larger until poelegalthrowaway00 spoke up again on reddit. There, he burst the bubble:
It was all fake.
“I am a teacher and did this as a demonstration”
What is behind the fake? In the reddit post, poelegalthrowaway00 states that he is actually a teacher and did this as a demonstration for his class. He wanted to show how easy it is nowadays to manipulate public opinion.
He chose the topic Path of Exile because it is small enough and most of his students are familiar with gaming. He provides advice on how users on reddit can better see through such fakes.
Shortly after the second post was made, it was edited. Allegedly, the account of the supposed teacher was hacked. A short time later, it was deleted, but screenshots remained showing the entire text (via Discord).
How the developer reacts: CEO Chris Wilson stated to PCGamer.com: “Honestly, this makes me a little sick. It undermines the legitimacy of real issues, and the Twitter thread has caused us some pretty severe PR damage.”
Steve Sposh writes: “Pretending to be a player with a disability to harass a company is worse than bad. People are already skeptical of others who claim to have a disability.
So, congratulations, troll. You did it. You’ve made it harder for people with real disabilities to draw attention from developers. GG”.
What do you think of the case? Do you believe the teacher story and find the alleged motives justified? Or do you think the action is just as stupid as Steve Sposh does? Let us know in the comments.
In Call of Duty: Warzone, some players recently trudged towards victory with ease. A glitch made them invincible. The developers are working on the issue.
What is this glitch? Normally, winning in Battle Royale, given the tough competition on the map of Call of Duty: Warzone, is a tough challenge. Absorbing absolutely no damage is understandably a rather helpful state.
And exactly that was achieved by some players due to a glitch. For example, you can see in this video how such an invincibility glitch made players – well, invincible:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJtZyD4yk0Q
The player is not stopped by ammunition, melee attacks, or anything else thanks to the glitch. For the other players, that is naturally a problem. Against such glitch opponents, one cannot even compete with the best mechanics that every good player should know in Warzone. Accordingly, the developers are now stepping in.
What are these contracts? The Most Wanted contract essentially places a bounty on your own team, making you the target of all other players. However, if you survive this phase, you receive a cash reward and all dead team members are brought back into the game. You take a big risk, but you can revive the entire team.
Developers disable problematic contracts
How the glitch occurred: As the player describes in his video, the glitch occurred in connection with a Most Wanted contract. He apparently became invincible right when he, at the end of the expiring contract, was supposed to die. The developers from Raven Software have since confirmed the connection via a tweet:

This is what the developers are doing now: As Raven Software explains, the “Most Wanted contracts” have been temporarily disabled in the Verdansk BR playlist. It is therefore currently a workaround to neutralize this “God Mode” bug. The problem is currently being investigated further. When the issue will be resolved and the Most Wanted contracts will return is still open.
In Pokémon GO you can earn a total of 50 coins for free every day. In this guide, we will show you how to get the in-game currency of the game.
These are coins in Pokémon GO: PokéCoins is the in-game currency of Pokémon GO. With it, you can buy raid passes, lucky eggs, incubators, and much more.
Every day you can receive 50 coins for free. That corresponds to 50 cents. If you want more coins, you must purchase them in the in-game shop for real money.
How to get coins in Pokémon GO – Here’s how it works
Here you earn PokéCoins: You must assign at least one of your Pokémon to a gym. For the time spent there, you will then receive coins, but only if your Pokémon is kicked out of the gym. So it is of no use to stay in gyms for ages, as you will only be rewarded with being kicked out. The system works as follows:
You earn one PokéCoin every 10 minutes or 6 coins for an hour.
There is a cap of 50 coins per day – you cannot earn more in one day.
You need to sit in gyms for a total of 8 hours and 20 minutes to earn enough coins for one day.
You will automatically receive PokéCoins when you leave the gym. As long as you are still in gyms, there are no coins for you. If you do not receive any coins upon being kicked out, then you have already earned 50 coins for that day.
What exactly is sitting in gyms? Each team can take over gyms in Pokémon GO. You have room for 6 Pokémon per gym. Once that number of monsters is reached, no other trainer can join. The other two teams can then attack and take over the gyms. They can then place their monsters in the gym.
Basically, you can place any monster in gyms, except for legendary and mythical Pokémon.
Are there other ways to earn free coins? No, you can only get the free coins by sitting in gyms. Niantic had previously tested another system, which allowed you to earn coins through small quests as well, but the developers discarded that option again.
Since then, you can only collect coins for free through gyms.
This is how you earn coins faster: When sitting in gyms, the total number of your hours counts. One Pokémon must sit in gyms for 8 hours and 20 minutes, but two Pokémon in two gyms only need to spend 4 hours and 10 minutes each in gyms.
The more Pokémon you place in different gyms, the less time you have to wait for your coins. So if you want to guarantee your coins every day, you should ideally take over several gyms. It is also not guaranteed that you will be kicked out of the gym that day. So spread out and hold several gyms.
When motivation is low, your Pokémon will be defeated faster.
How to best defend gyms? Sometimes it’s not so easy to get to your coins, as you are simply kicked out of gyms too quickly. We recommend that you use the best defenders in Pokémon GO. They at least make it more difficult for your opponents to take over your gym at the beginning. If you instead use weak defenders, gyms can be taken over faster.
But keep in mind that your Pokémon will lose motivation over time. If you place a strong monster with a lot of CP in the gyms, it will lose a lot of CP after a few hours, making it easier for other players to attack. If you definitely want your coins, you should feed your Pokémon in the gym in the meantime. A golden razz berry fully restores the monster’s motivation.
This is how you can also get coins: If the 50 free coins per day are not enough for you, you can alternatively buy additional coins in the in-game shop. The prices are as follows (may vary by platform by a few cents):
100 PokéCoins for 0.99 Euro
550 PokéCoins for 5.49 Euro
1,200 PokéCoins for 10.99 Euro
2,500 PokéCoins for 21.99 Euro
5,200 PokéCoins for 43.99 Euro
14,500 PokéCoins for 109.99 Euro
In general, you can say: The more money you invest at once in Pokémon GO, the more savings you get. It’s wiser to invest a larger amount at once than multiple smaller amounts.
To buy the coins, you need to go to the shop and scroll down to the very bottom. You will find the coins there and can purchase them.
Looking for more guides on Pokémon GO? Then check here for the best attackers by type:
Destiny 2 offers players over 600 exotic and legendary weapons. We show you which 10 of them are the most popular in the Season of the Chosen and what makes them so powerful.
You can find it here: Destiny 2 gives players the ability to always equip 3 weapons at a time. They can choose from 79 Exotics and over 500 legendary “toys” in Season 13 – not an easy decision.
MeinMMO shows you the top 10 weapons that most of you choose. We also provide information on where to find the guns and what makes the weapon so strong, as well as what justifies the high usage.
Where do the numbers come from? We refer to the data from the website Destinytracker.com (as of 04/18/21).
The database lists the percentage usage and also indicates how many kills the respective weapon is responsible for.
If the numbers seem low to you, consider how many weapons Guardians equip and how many ways enemies can be eliminated.
Rank 10: Trustee
The legendary scout rifle from the “Deep Stone Crypt” raid is used by 2.13% of all Guardians. The Solar weapon accounts for 3.31% of all kills in PvE.
Why is the weapon so popular?
Like all weapons from the Deep Stone Crypt, Trustee can also drop with the powerful perk “Reconstruction,” which auto-loads the magazine and doubles the size in passing.
The weapon also fires fully automatically, which makes it easier to use and allows the combination as a Solar gun with the strong kinetic weapons that appear later in this list.
In Season 13, scout rifles are additionally supported by seasonal artifact mods and are a safe option against annoying Champions.
Trustee is therefore not only the most popular but also probably the best scout rifle in Destiny 2.
Rank 9: Plunderer Salvo
The grenade launcher Plunderer Salvo is new to the game in Season 13. 2.75% of Guardians can hardly imagine a loadout without the weapon and a solid 4.53% of all kills are attributed to Plunderer Salvo.
Unlike many other legendary weapons, you have more freedom in perk selection. Because quest weapons always come with fixed perks, you can choose from 2 options depending on the situation.
This allows you to double the magazine, generate chain reactions after kills, do more damage against bosses, or choose “Demolisher” – which is often used for many builds.
Grenade launchers like Plunderer Salvo, which only have one shot per magazine, were also buffed in Season 13. They are now easier to use as the projectiles explode upon contact.
The easy availability and versatility have made this special weapon with Arc damage quickly one of the favorites.
Rank 8: Workaholic
Workaholic is a legendary precision shotgun that 2.93% of Destiny players always carry. However, the recorded kills are surprisingly low at only 0.68%.
Why is the weapon so popular?
The Arc weapon for the special slot fires only one projectile compared to conventional shotguns, instead of a wide spread charge – this is called a “Slug-Shotgun.”
These rounds have very high range and after their PvE buff are the strongest shotguns against bosses, which can be easily fired from a safe Warlock well.
Workaholic can additionally drop with really strong perks for boss fights. Standouts include “Vorpal Weapon” and “Self-Loading Holster.”
The high usage and low kills reflect the status as a damage dealer in heavy fights. Especially in the current raid against the final boss Taniks, many Guardians revert to using the shotgun.
On the next page, we will continue with a brand-new weapon but also deal with a Guardian favorite that will soon be nerfed.

Outriders has likely fixed the annoying inventory bug with the latest patch 1.06. However, there are still numerous other problems. Some of them are expected to be fixed in the next update. MeinMMO summarizes for you what we know so far.
What is the situation in Outriders? Last week, the inventory bug caused a stir. With this bug, players could lose their entire equipment. With update 1.06, released on April 15, the problem seems to be resolved.
However, there are still numerous minor and major problems that the co-op shooter is struggling with. Apparently, another patch is already in the works. The community manager confirmed this in the Outriders subreddit.
What could be addressed in the upcoming patch and the status of the restoration of items lost due to the inventory bug will be shown here.
Next patch is expected to fix buggy Assassin skill and many other problems
What do we know about the next update? Unfortunately, there is a lack of concrete information. So far, it has only been confirmed on reddit that a “larger” follow-up patch is in the works. This has been confirmed by the community manager thearcan (via. reddit).
It can be said for sure that the next update will include a fix for a buggy skill of the Assassin. This pertains to the skill Hunt Fever. It is supposed to teleport you behind enemies, but it seems to not function correctly for some players.
Other fixes have not been specifically mentioned yet. According to thearcan, the developers are bundling numerous fixes in the patch that were initially set aside due to work on the inventory bug. Here is the statement from the community manager:
“We are bundling lower-priority fixes into a larger follow-up patch while previous patches focused on the more serious issues.
If we had released the lower-priority fixes in the other patches, it would have significantly extended the testing time required and they would not have been able to be released yet.
What else could be included in the patch? There are numerous problems that could be addressed with the patch. Some of these are summarized in the official reddit post from the developers.
Console players are still struggling with the login screen, many are unable to log into the game at all.
The developers recommend completely shutting down the console and clearing the cache.
One player reported that a connection test helped on PS5 when he got stuck on the login screen. A complete disconnection helped others as well (via reddit).
Quest markers often do not show the correct path to the target.
Hit registration is faulty, especially in co-op.
General, numerous server and stability issues.
Enemy balancing, especially in endgame.
There is definitely enough to do for People Can Fly, and it remains to be seen what will be addressed next. Additionally, the restoration of items for players affected by the inventory bug is also pending.
More info about the restoration will be available early next week
This is the current state: Around patch 1.06, there was initially some confusion. Many players were disappointed when they found their inventory empty or could not load their characters after the download.
The patch was supposed to fix just the bug itself and not restore any items, as the developers also stated in the patch notes. However, work is still being done on a solution for the inventory issue. People Can Fly promise to deliver more concrete information on this at the beginning of the coming week.
The fix implemented with patch 1.06 seems to be successful at least. The developer is keeping an eye on the situation.

When can we expect a restoration? Although there is no concrete information on this yet, People Can Fly has at least narrowed it down. In response to a concerned fan, the developer wrote on Twitter: “You don’t need to worry – The process will not take a month. We just haven’t published details yet because our teams are working to improve, optimize, and test our solution.” (via Twitter)
How will the restoration proceed? This is what the developers have revealed so far:
The restoration will happen on a specific day and will be a major, one-time event.
Only the most valuable items will likely be restored, meaning epic (purple) and legendary equipment.
Rare (blue) equipment is likely not to be restored.
The restoration will add the items to your inventory.
It’s possible that the restored items will not have exactly the same stats as your old items.
What about compensation? As a gesture of goodwill, People Can Fly has announced a legendary weapon for all players who played from the release period of April 1 to April 11.
This compensation is still planned but will only be delivered once the players’ items have been restored (via Twitter).
What do you think about this? Are you affected by the inventory bug? What things should Outriders address in the next patch? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

In the new Director’s Cut of Borderlands 3, there are not only new contents but also a particularly emotional scene that was cut from the game. Players believe that this scene could have really benefited the story.
What kind of scene is it? Borderlands 3 released the “Director’s Cut” in April, after an unusual delay. The DLC includes challenges such as a new raid boss or some story missions involving a murder mystery. Additionally, there are several behind-the-scenes glimpses where you can discover concept art or artworks.
Among them is a voiced artwork of a scene cut from the main game. This scene portrays a particularly emotional moment in the story, which was completely missing from the finished game.
Warning: Spoilers for the Borderlands 3 story follow from here for anyone who still wants to play through the game.

The scene shows: In the scene, we can see how the crew of the Sanctuary copes with the loss of the siren Maya, after she was killed by Troy Calypso. We see how Lilith blames herself, and Ava, Maya’s student, seems to be nearly breaking apart from the loss. Then, it cuts to a funeral scene for Maya.
At a monument for the heroine, Lilith delivers a eulogy while the main supporting characters say goodbye to Maya. Even Krieg, who would later play a significant role in his own DLC, is present. You can watch the scene here on YouTube:

After the burial, we see a personal conversation between Ava and Lilith. Here, the sad Ava talks about how Maya’s death is her fault. She cannot comprehend that Maya gave her life for her student. Then both talk about what Maya saw in Ava – and that she now wants to fulfill her legacy.
Why is this scene so important? The handling of Maya’s death was one of the biggest criticisms players had of the Borderlands 3 story. After all, she was one of the most important characters – yet her death was treated very briefly and with little emotion before moving on to the next planet. Players could also not warm up to Ava, who primarily reacted with anger to the death. From their perspective, Maya’s sacrifice was not properly honored, and Ava did not do justice to it.
The deleted scene would have resolved these issues to a significant extent.
What fans are saying: Looking at the comments on YouTube about the scene, or in the Borderlands subreddit, there is great disbelief regarding the cutting of the scene. Only now, over a year later, is a cutscene in the form of an artwork within a DLC doing justice to this emotional moment.
“I think if this had been in the game, people would have been less angry,” writes one user (via YouTube).
“I have no idea why they didn’t do that and instead made Ava such a hated character. In this scene, she seems to regret her actions, but in the actual game, she takes no responsibility and doesn’t seem as emotional as she does here” (via YouTube).
“This may be the best-written scene in all of BL3, and it didn’t make it into the final game” (via YouTube).
Even if there was some criticism of the story of Borderlands 3, the game still manages to convince with its crazy humor, tons of weapons, and fast-paced gameplay. Especially in co-op, the loot hunt is a lot of fun. It remains one of the best co-op shooters with open world in 2021.

In Pokémon GO a new bonus is active after the big raid challenge. You should take advantage of it while you can – because it will soon be inactive again.
What kind of bonus is this? In Pokémon GO, you currently receive double the amount of Stardust for every Pokémon you catch. This is quite useful, as Stardust is one of the most important resources in the game: You use it to give your Pokémon power-ups or teach them a new move.
How long does the bonus last? If you look at the map of the game, there is a small new display in the upper right corner showing the duration of the bonus. It ends on Monday, April 18th, at 1:00 PM. So you have time to take advantage of the bonus until then.
The bonus lasts until Monday afternoon
How to maximize the bonus
How to farm Stardust even faster with the bonus: If you want to make the most of the effect, you should also equip a Star Piece. You can get this in the shop, for example. With an active Star Piece, you receive even more of the resource for 30 minutes. Tips on how to get more Stardust can be found in our guide.
It’s also a good idea to use incense when you play for a limited time: More Pokémon appear to catch, which in turn can earn you Stardust.
It’s worth heading out with a mostly empty Pokémon box. This way you won’t run into the situation where you have to sort out monsters while catching because the box is full. Especially when you’ve activated a time-limited item like the Star Piece or incense, it’s frustrating not to be able to keep catching consistently.
What is the problem? If you look at the “Today” view of Pokémon GO, a timer is displayed that indicates the end of the bonus for Sunday at 1:00 PM. However, this is a visual error, as confirmed by Niantic Support on Twitter. The correct duration of the bonus remains Monday at 1:00 PM.
In the “Today” view there is an incorrect timer
Why is this bonus even available? During the Rivals Week, trainers in Pokémon GO had to complete a total of 40 million raids together. This global challenge has now been completed and the bonus is active.
The survival game Valheim constantly challenges you to improve with its boss fights. By now, many of you have likely seen all the bosses – but which one was the hardest for you?
In Valheim, everything revolves around fighting and honoring the Allfather Odin. Currently, there are five bosses in the game that you can defeat in epic battles.
Unlike “normal” enemies, they attack you with special abilities, making them significantly tougher than simple Greydwarfs or trolls. Furthermore, they have considerably more health points, which can make a fight last several minutes.
Bosses are also a core mechanic in Valheim and serve as a kind of milestone for the game’s story. You must defeat a boss to advance to the next tier of equipment – at least that’s the plan.
The process is actually meant to be that you gradually prepare for the boss fight and then confront it with the best equipment available to you. This way, Valheim is loosely divided into chapters that can be played through and make boss fights feel incredibly rewarding.
But for now, we want to know from you which boss you found the hardest. Vote and tell us where you had the biggest problems. Even if you defeated all bosses with ease, you surely had a few tough moments somewhere.
Let us know in the comments which boss you found particularly difficult – or particularly entertaining. What new bosses and mechanics would you like to see in the future?
Some players find both the bosses and the whole game easier than expected. That’s why there are already crazy Vikings who set their own challenges – for example, defeating no boss other than the last one. Why not try that too if you find the bosses too easy?
Have you defeated all the bosses yourself? Do you want to keep playing for a while but don’t know exactly what to do? Valheim offers plenty of content that can keep you entertained for many hours even after defeating Yagluth:
Are you looking for strong players in FIFA 21? Especially with expensive players, you should think carefully about who to sign. Here you will find a whole bunch of top players under 400,000 coins.
What kind of list is this? In this player list, you will find very strong cards that can improve your team. However, they are not directly suitable for beginner teams, as they already cost a lot of coins. To obtain 400,000 coins, effective trading or strong weeks with good Weekend League rewards and Division Rivals rewards are required.
However, if you save consistently, you can certainly collect 400,000 coins. If you want to strengthen your teams more broadly with these coins, we recommend these lists on MeinMMO with strong players
Note that the transfer market in FIFA 21 is dynamic and may fluctuate depending on the day. Currently, many top players are decreasing in price, but some may also spike back up.
In the following setup, it goes up another 100,000 coins – into the range towards 400,000 coins. Here, there are a whole bunch of extremely good players. We are looking for players for different teams and positions to offer reinforcements for as many teams as possible. It is a general look at Ultimate Team.
Neymar (Gold)
Cost: approx. 300,000 coins
Neymar is one of the absolute best gold cards in FIFA 21 and is currently cheaper than ever. If you are lucky, you might even get a version of the Brazilian on the market that costs less than 300,000 coins. Offensively, he is incredibly strong, with 5 stars on skills and weak foot along with perfect attacking stats. He is considered one of the absolute meta cards in FIFA 21 and can be a gain for most teams.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Gold)
Cost: approx. 398,000 coins
Ronaldo is, similar to Neymar, one of the absolute top gold cards and has just fallen below the 400,000 mark. He is fast, possesses 5-star skills and a deadly finish. He also excels in dribbling, and Ronaldo has unique animations as well. In attack, there is little that exceeds the Portuguese – he is definitely worth the coins.
Kylian Mbappé (Gold)
Cost: approx. 380,000 coins
Another gold card, another top player. Mbappé is the cover star of FIFA 21 and the nightmare of many defenders. The Frenchman is lightning fast, skillful, and great at finishing. Anyone who has played against him knows: It is not easy to defend against Mbappé. He also fits well with Neymar when it comes to chemistry. If you can afford both, you have a brutal offensive duo on the pitch.
Alejandro Gomez (What If)
Cost: approx. 390,000 coins
Gomez received a card during the What-If event that combines almost all important offensive attributes. The Argentine was among the best cards in the promo – and has now fallen below 400,000 coins for the first time. If you need a versatile offensive player for your LaLiga team, he could be the right option for you.
On the next page, you will find more strong offensive players, but also an option for the defense.
