Outriders guarantees legendary weapons – Here’s how to get 3 of them

Legendary weapons are the most powerful firearms in Outriders and can be very difficult to obtain. We show you 3 locations where you are guaranteed to find a Legendary.

What are legendary weapons? These are weapons with unique effects that can be found in Outriders. Normally, you acquire them through drops from enemies, but this requires a lot of luck. The world tier also plays a role – the higher your world rank, the better the loot that drops.

Legendary items are not necessarily the strongest in the game on their own, but they provide you with unique mods when disassembled. These can be installed in other items, allowing you to build your own top items. This crafting system significantly sets Outriders apart from other loot shooters.

Regardless of drops, there are some places in the game that will guarantee you a legendary weapon. Here we present 3 spots in the game.

Legendary Weapon through Story Boss – Here’s how it works

Here you can get the weapon: For this, you need to defeat the story boss Chrysalismutant (eng: Chrysaloid). You can find him in chapter six, in the forest, as the fourth boss. Once you have defeated the Chrysalismutant, you will receive a guaranteed legendary weapon as a reward, but only for the first kill.

The weapon that drops, however, is random. You will get a Legendary, but you won’t know in advance which one. Additionally, this drop is only guaranteed on the first victory over Chrysaloid. If you defeat the boss a second time, there is no guaranteed legendary weapon anymore. After that, the mutant is still worthwhile, for farming Titan.

Outriders Chrysalismutant
When the mutant falls for the first time, a Legendary is waiting.

The good thing about this is that you can defeat the boss even at world tier 1. So you don’t have to sweat excessively against the mutant; you can even take him down on the easiest level.

Maybe you will get lucky here and receive one of these 10 strong Legendarys:

Legendary Weapon through World Tier 12 – Here’s how it works

Here you can get the weapon: You actually don’t have to do anything but play. Once you reach world tier 12, you will receive a golden chest as a reward, which will give you a legendary weapon. For example, the report about the weapon “The Wicker”. This is a legendary SMG that you can equip directly after the drop. However, there are also other weapons as rewards.

World tier 12 is not so easy to achieve, though. You will need to spend several hours in the game to level up to that point. You level up faster in the world rank if you die less frequently. So if you often bite the dust, you’ll need to be patient.

Legendary Weapon through Quest – Here’s how it works

Here you can get the weapon: For this, you need to complete the quest “Big Iron”. There you have to find 3 weapon parts and eliminate some enemies while searching for them. Once you have found all the weapon parts, you will receive a legendary weapon as a reward. You must then return to Channa after finding the weapon parts to claim your Legendary.

The weapon parts are quite tricky to find, so you will need to search thoroughly. Be prepared to eliminate numerous enemies before you’ve gathered all the parts.

In the end, you will be guaranteed a reward and will not have to rely on a random drop. You will have the choice between 3 different weapons:

  • Aerie Master: A shotgun
  • The Landlubber: A sniper rifle
  • Grim Marrow: A light machine gun

Depending on your playstyle, you can choose one of the 3 weapons and use it to slay enemies in the future.

Outriders can be quite difficult on your own, and these easy methods are not necessarily trivial. Especially reaching world rank 12 can take a while alone. MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus learned this the hard way:

Because of Outriders, I shouted at my monitor for the first time in years

PvP of Destiny 2 is a dream for many – Save or let die?

In Destiny 2 PvP is not doing well. PvE players chronically hate it, and even Crucible enthusiasts are really angry. Bungie is now trying to save it, but is it worth it?

The special situation: The ways players of Destiny 2 spend their Guardian daily life can be very diverse. Casually traverse the different locations and complete a few quests for new exotics. Fight solo or in a team through missions and level up. Or would you rather be in raids or test your loadout for endgame suitability in the Trials.

Guardians can also compete against other Guardians. PvP is played in the Crucible or sometimes in Gambit (PvEvP). The PvP often plays a significantly more prominent role in Bungie’s loot shooter than in comparable games. The Division has the Dark Zone and PvP arenas, okay – but with Anthem, Borderlands, and recently also Outriders, PvP is not an issue. The focus is clearly on the cooperative “let’s mow everything down” experience.

However, this tightly interwoven PvP continually troubles Destiny players. And currently, the fights between Guardian and Guardian are really not going well. MeinMMO wants to hear your opinion on the Crucible and how Bungie should deal with it. Before we get to the survey, we’ll briefly address the topic.

[toc]

The fun mode that has only brought frustration since Destiny 1?

This is the PvE criticism: When a new exotic quest requires a trip into the Crucible, countless Guardians feel stepped on. Specifically, those who primarily play Destiny as a PvE shooter. They hate competing against others and find it unreasonable that Bungie constantly forces them into PvP.

Anyone who wants to save the Destiny universe from aliens, gods, and time-traveling robots is understandably annoyed that for the new super weapon they suddenly have to play a mode they have no interest in. We also read your frustration in the comments on MeinMMO (and that since 2014).

Only because of the alleged fun mode has the entire PvE been patched into the ground, killing the soul of the game.

Tomas Stefani via MeinMMO

The second major critique, which we also regularly see in the comments, is that PvP destroys PvE (also since 2014). In order to maintain the balance in the Crucible – which many say doesn’t exist – Bungie regularly pulls out the nerf hammer and excessively weakens overpowered weapons.

Often this resulted in the aforementioned weapon also being weaker in PvE. Instead of a god-slayer, Guardians then held a toy gun in their hands. Here again, the criticism is understandable. A mode that you only visit for quests should be responsible for making your hard-grinded favorite weapon weaker?

The 5 worst nerfs in the history of Destiny and Destiny 2
von Robert Albrecht

Crucible enthusiasts feel like second-class Guardians

This is why PvP Guardians are angry: One might think that only the PvE Guardians are complaining about PvP. But especially the Crucible enthusiasts have recently been the loudest in their protests. In Destiny 2, players are now rebelling against PvP – why?

  • There have been no new maps for PvP for over a year. With the Content Vault, some have even been removed. While PvE Guardians have recently received treats like a Creepy Ship and a new strike, there is no change in the Crucible in sight.
  • Especially on PC, cheaters are rampant and the PvP endgame (Trials) had to be canceled twice due to unfair practices in the current Season 13.
  • The Trials also have other problems that make the mode less attractive for “normal mortal” players. Unless the new super weapon is basically given away.
  • In the Iron Banner event, stagnation reigns; instead of fresh loot, there are only re-skins of old guns.
  • A constant issue is also balance. Many of the Guardians who enjoy PvP complain about the new Stasis abilities. For months it was either you play Stasis yourself or you lose.
  • There is also grumbling about the same old meta. Especially hated are the shotgun slides and jumping with shotguns, which seem to be intertwined with Felwinter’s Lie.
destiny-2-guardians-fight-pvp
Should Guardians fight each other?

In short: PvP players feel neglected by Bungie. And like the PvE Guardians, they have every right to be angry. Especially now, when the current season has spent a large part of its content load on PvE, the Crucible should actually provide incentives to play Destiny 2 during the dry spell. Or should it …

Bungie commits to saving the Crucible

After a long silence, the Destiny developer has spoken up. In the big plans for 2021, the new head, Joe Blackburn, also addressed the Crucible. Notably, Bungie is now really trying to differentiate between PvP and PvE balance. We can also track the long-awaited wish quite well in the latest patch notes.

What is going to happen or has already happened to save PvP:

  • Quests for new weapons allow freedom of choice whether to play in PvE or PvP (or Gambit)
  • They want to address Trials issues (like Three-Peeking) and have already brought some really hot loot.
  • Providing a Security Team twice as large to make it more difficult for cheaters. Additionally, they are already taking legal action against cheat sellers.
  • They have already reacted to Stasis. A whole series of patches and adjustments for the nasty ice abilities have now been made.
  • In the future, the dusty Light classes will be revamped to keep up with Stasis (also in PvE).
  • In the last Iron Banner, players were used as test subjects for a new algorithm.
The Trials want to lure you with strong weapons and stylish armor

Should experts take care of it? Additionally, it seems that Bungie is now seeking help from PvP professionals from the community. Recently, a secret meeting took place with streamers and content creators in attendance, discussing a “rosy PvP future”. We also read statements like “Bungie is really listening and actually making changes” on Twitter.

What is really behind this remains to be seen. Some of you expressed concerns on MeinMMO that not everyone feels represented well by a professional or streamer. Some even blame the streaming prominence for much of the current state of PvP.

Now we need your opinion

If you were in charge at Bungie, how would you deal with the ongoing contentious issue of PvP? MeinMMO wants to know this from you in a survey.

Here’s how to participate: Each reader has only one vote available. So choose wisely from the 6 options. Be sure to explain to us and the other Guardians why you voted the way you did. You can also post your own ideas for saving the Crucible in the comments.

Have fun with the survey and thank you for participating!

New sandbox MMO starts first alpha – Aims to convince you without dragons and magic

Myth of Empires (PC) will offer you a unique gaming experience. In this sandbox MMO, there are no fantasy elements. Instead, you will engage in massive battles where you can even command an army of NPCs. The first alpha is intended to show how this works.

What is Myth of Empires? Set in 3rd century China, you start as a nobody but can rise to become the emperor. However, you begin like in a survival game. You start with nothing, gather resources, craft basic equipment like weapons, and build a shelter. Along the way, you will have to deal with wild animals, bandits, and hostile players.

Over time, you will become more powerful and can even build forts with other players. It’s possible to recruit NPCs to assist you. They can work for you or you can train them to become soldiers.

Later, you will begin conquering entire territories. You will participate in massive battles where you not only control your own hero but also command your NPC army. As the ruler of a land, you will even have to rely on diplomacy to acquire necessary goods through trade.

Horse breeding is important. Horses play a significant role in battles, and your own horse is a companion that supports you and allows you to travel faster.

The trailer of the sandbox game gives you an insight into what to expect in the alpha:

An MMO without fantasy elements

What makes the game special? There are no fantasy elements in Myth of Empires. This means you have to do without magic, orcs, and dragons. The game aims to stand apart from fantasy MMORPGs.

This is how you can participate: Myth of Empires will enter an alpha phase on April 16. This will last until April 23. The alpha is intended to give you an initial look at the online game.

To participate, you can register now on the website (via Myth of Empires). With a bit of luck, you will be selected and can start playing on April 16.

If you don’t get lucky at the start of the test, the developers want to reassure you. They plan to send out more invitations during the alpha to gradually allow more players.

The alpha will be conducted in English and Chinese. The testing phase aims to try out the features of the MMO, find bugs, and gather feedback. So, you should not expect a final gaming experience.

You can watch livestreams and videos from the alpha, as there is no NDA. Or you can stream what you experience in the game yourself.

When will Myth of Empires be released? The MMO currently has no release date. However, it is said to be released on Steam. The developers have not yet announced whether it will be a free-to-play, subscription, or buy-to-play title. They plan to decide on monetization later.

Are you interested in other MMORPGs that are set to release in 2021 and beyond? We present you with 18 exciting genre representatives.

Pokémon GO: Dataminer shows 32 new Pokémon from Gen 6

Trainers are eagerly waiting in Pokémon GO for more Pokémon from Generation 6 in the game. Dataminers now show that something is changing in the code of Pokémon GO. A large wave of Pokémon has been added.

This is what happened: The dataminers from the group PokeMiners have previously revealed many contents of Pokémon GO before their actual release. They have earned trust with their findings. On April 7th, they shared a new discovery with the reddit community. It shows 32 Pokémon from Generation 6.

Here we show you which Pokémon these are and what this finding means for you.

The PokeMiners’ Finding

These are the Pokémon: In the leak, the analysts write, “Another wave of Gen 6 Pokémon has been added.” There is a graphic that shows 32 Pokémon and their shinies. We embed the reddit post here so you can see the new Pokémon.

Which Pokémon are these? If you are not very familiar with Generation 6, we will show you the corresponding names from the top left to the bottom right. If available, we will write the evolutions next to the pre-evolution.

  • Puponcho
  • Mähikel -> Chevrumm
  • Pam-Pam -> Pandagro
  • Gramokles -> Duokles
  • Parfi -> Parfinesse
  • Flauschling -> Sabbaione
  • Iscalar -> Calamanero
  • Bithora -> Thanatora
  • Algitt -> Tandrak
  • Wummer
  • Eguana -> Elezard
  • Balgoras
  • Amarino -> Amagarga
  • Feelinara
  • Resladero
  • Dedenne
  • Viscora -> Viscargot -> Viscogon
  • Xerneas
  • Yveltal
  • Zygarde
What does datamining mean?
Analysts regularly examine the code of Pokémon GO and look for changes. When significant changes are seen there, the dataminers typically compile the new information into summaries or graphics to share with the rest of the players.
This allows them to discover what’s happening in the game before the developers make official announcements, what functions are being worked on, and what could happen in the next update.

What does this mean for you?

You need to know: Just because these Pokémon were found in the code, it does not mean that you will all have access to them soon. A release date for these Pokémon is not yet foreseeable.

Partially, the Pokémon families in the shown overview are incomplete. The Pokémon Scampisto, which we know will be released next week with the Rivalenwoche in Pokémon GO, is missing in this overview.

On the other hand, we find some Pokémon from the graphic like Pam-Pam, Xerneas, and possibly also Feelinara on the new loading screen. This suggests that at least a small selection of the shown Pokémon in the datamining could be released soon.

So consider this leak with a certain degree of skepticism. Which of the shown Pokémon are you particularly looking forward to? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments what you wish for.

Many events are still coming up in April that you can participate in. You can find an overview of them here: All events in April 2021 in Pokémon GO and which ones are worth it.

CoD Cold War & Warzone bring a new, powerful sniper rifle – Here’s how to get it

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone brought a new sniper rifle into the game with a small update on April 7 – the ZRG 20mm. MeinMMO shows you the first information about the rifle and how you can unlock it.

What kind of rifle is this? The ZRG 20mm is a very slow-firing sniper rifle in Black Ops Cold War. The in-game description states that the weapon has a high bullet speed but a slow rate of fire. Additionally, it deals more damage to vehicles and has a very large one-shot range. A hit to the head, chest, shoulders, or stomach instantly eliminates opponents in regular multiplayer.

The weapon is also available in the battle royale Warzone. It says: “Sniper rifle with bolt action. High damage. Instant kills with head or upper chest shots.”

The base magazine of both variants offers 3 shots. The weapon was already announced through the Season 2 roadmap and has now been added to the game. MeinMMO shows you how to unlock the ZRG 20mm and what features it has.

Unlock ZRG 20mm with Sniper Challenge

How do I unlock the ZRG 20mm? You must earn at least 2 longshot medals with sniper rifles in 10 matches.

So grab the LW3 – Tundra or the Pellington in Cold War and go hunting for kills at a long distance from the opponent. Every 6v6 map offers you good opportunities for this, and you should easily achieve 2 longshot kills with sniper rifles per match. The nasty balcony on the Miami map or the long shooting paths on Nuketown’s outside lane are particularly recommended.

But make sure to complete the matches. There have been reports from players that weapons in Cold War do not unlock even though the challenge counter is full. This is considered a display bug, and it is recommended to always play through all matches where you take on the challenge.

You can also accomplish this well in Warzone, but you will probably need significantly longer for the matches than in Cold War’s multiplayer.

You can also directly purchase the ZRG 20mm in the real-money shop for CoD points. The new bundle “Jackpot Sniper” costs 1,200 CoD points (approximately 12 euros) and offers, in addition to the weapon blueprint, an emblem, a talisman, and a gambling-style sticker. However, keep in mind that you can only play with the attachments of the skin – you still have to unlock the base weapon.

ZRG 20mm interesting after initial tests in Warzone & Cold War

How is the weapon in Cold War? The ZRG 20mm fires slowly and has miserable movement speeds. However, you can take down enemies even with body shots – that’s the hallmark of the rifle. This makes the weapon generally interesting for every sniper player, particularly for beginners in quick-scoping. If you want to see more about the new sniper, we are embedding an English gun guide from the CoD YouTuber “TheXclusiveAce” here:

How does it look in Warzone? Judging by the initial tests of the weapon, it could become a strong competitor to the popular, large sniper rifle HDR. The ZRG 20mm has a high bullet speed, a better rate of fire, and aims down sights about as quickly as the HDR sniper rifle from Modern Warfare. An analysis comparing the stats has been published by CoD YouTuber “JGOD”. We are embedding the English video here:

How and whether the weapon will establish itself remains to be seen in the coming days and weeks. However, with the ZRG 20mm, an exciting sniper option has come to both games, and the chances are good that the rifle will perform well. Let’s just hope that the weapon does not turn out to be too powerful. The battle royale Warzone has just nerfed its best weapons, to bring some deviation back into the game.

Do you think bosses in Valheim are actually too hard? Vote with us

Bosses are one of the features that Valheim makes so special among survival games. The fights are cool and challenging, but for some players, they are too hard – for others, even too easy. Which camp do you belong to?

What are bosses? The strongest opponents in Valheim are the mythical bosses, which you first have to summon at their altars. Bosses mark the conclusion of a chapter in the game by granting you access to the next area.

Therefore, you should ideally face a boss only when you have upgraded your equipment as much as possible.

The partly gigantic opponents reward you with items that you need to obtain or process better materials. Accordingly, you need a lot of preparation for a boss fight.

The feeling of finally having defeated a boss and being able to continue in the game is the reason why boss fights in Valheim are so incredibly satisfying.

What bosses are there? Currently, Valheim offers five bosses for each of the currently playable biomes:

  • Eikthyr in the Meadows
  • The Elder in the Dark Woods
  • Bonemass in the Swamp
  • Moder in the Mountains
  • Yagluth in the Plains

Each of the bosses requires a different sacrifice and rewards you with different items. In our guide, you will find all bosses of Valheim and how to summon and defeat them.

Opinions about bosses vary widely

What makes the bosses hard or easy? Whenever we write something about bosses, there are differing opinions in the comments. The boss Bonemass, for example, is considered the hardest boss and was made even stronger after player complaints.

Valheim Swamp Boss Bonemass 2
Bonemass is considered the toughest boss. A player simply built a fortress around his altar.

It is so challenging because it introduces proper mechanics like poison and resistances that players must pay attention to. For experienced survival fans and RPG players, this is less surprising.

However, since Valheim also attracts newcomers, they find it harder to deal with such things. Accordingly, opinions about the bosses range from “too easy” to “too hard.” We now want to know from you: How hard do you find the bosses of Valheim?

Are there more bosses? The developers have already promised that each of the new biomes will also receive a boss. A total of nine are planned, plus additional mini-bosses if the opportunity arises. Three more biomes are already known:

  • Ashlands in the south
  • Deep North
  • Foglands

All three biomes are already in the game and can be explored. Currently, however, there is nothing there. However, there are already indications that you will find the next biome, the Foglands, really disgusting.

Twitch-Ripple wins big tournament in Minecraft, gets disqualified: “Fucking Hater”

According to Tfue, the “fucking haters” are to blame. If there were something like “fucking esports integrity”, his team would be awarded the first prize. Because they “fucking won.”

Tfue manages to use the word “fucking” 5 times in 60 seconds. He is well above the level of Pulp Fiction: The cult film by Tarantino had only 1.7 “fucks” per minute.

Other movies that Tfue would likely enjoy:

  • Goodfellas with 2.05 “fucks” per minute
  • The Big Lebowski with 2.4 “fucks” per minute
  • The Wolf of Wall Street – the film with Leonardo DiCaprio hits 3.16 “fucks” per minute. Almost Tfue level

Tfue has announced that he will now focus on role-playing in GTA 5. He wants to switch to the No Pixel server. Hopefully, the stress there won’t be too much for him, otherwise, the “fuck” count could keep rising:

Twitch streamer quits GTA 5 RP because his role-playing job becomes too real: “It is brutal”

This means that the change is not “regularly accessible”, but requires an editor. Technically, this is no longer “Vanilla”, but counts as a mod and was apparently sufficient for disqualification.

Tfue blames “fucking haters”

This is how Tfue reacts: He feels once again cheated out of a deserved success. He says: Whenever he wins a Twitch Rivals fairly, something happens to take that success away from him.

He says (via twitch.clip):

Bro, every time I win Twitch Rivals, someone has to come and complain about something “fucking” that doesn’t even matter.

Tfue has announced that he will now focus on role-playing in GTA 5. He wants to switch to the No Pixel server. Hopefully, the stress there won’t be too much for him, otherwise, the “fuck” count could keep rising:

Twitch streamer quits GTA 5 RP because his role-playing job becomes too real: “It is brutal”

Turner “Tfue” Tenney (23) is one of the biggest streamers in the world. He and his team have now won the important tournament “Twitch Rivals” in Minecraft , but were disqualified and fell back to 3rd place. For him, it’s clear: The haters are to blame. Nothing is given to him.

What kind of tournament is this? The tournament series “Twitch Rivals” is hosted directly by Twitch. These are well-funded tournaments, especially in games that are popular on Twitch but do not have a real esports scene. The tournament usually does not feature professional esports players, but streamers who are presented and promoted in a show.

The tournament “Twitch Rivals Minecraft Mystery Games” took place on April 6th. The idea was that teams of 4 players had to complete 3 segments in Minecraft, which they did not know beforehand.

The winning team of the tournament receives $12,000, but what is more important for most streamers participating in such events is that they are brought into the spotlight by Twitch itself.

For a Twitch star like Tfue, it’s simply about winning and earning respect. It’s known that Tfue is annoyed about having achieved the biggest reach frequently, but he has never won one of the coveted prizes and awards. And Tfue is ambitious.

Tfue is an outstandingly strong player: He managed to be the only “real Twitch” star at the World Championship in Fortnite in 2019. All other major Twitch streamers failed in the tough qualification.

Tfue rose to fame with Fortnite in 2018 and 2019, gaining over 10 million followers and certainly a lot of money, but has turned his back on Fortnite and is now playing Minecraft.

Due to a detail, Team Tfue was disqualified from victory.

Team Tfue is said to have altered brightness in the files – No longer “Vanilla”

This is why Team Tfue was disqualified: The accusation is that Tfue’s team did not play with the “Vanilla” settings as prescribed, but increased the brightness.

To achieve this increased brightness, it is not enough to just tweak something in the game settings, but one had to go into the files and change something, as a Twitter user explains.

Tfue has announced that he will now focus on role-playing in GTA 5. He wants to switch to the No Pixel server. Hopefully, the stress there won’t be too much for him, otherwise, the “fuck” count could keep rising:

Twitch streamer quits GTA 5 RP because his role-playing job becomes too real: “It is brutal”

According to Tfue, the “fucking haters” are to blame. If there were something like “fucking esports integrity”, his team would be awarded the first prize. Because they “fucking won.”

Tfue manages to use the word “fucking” 5 times in 60 seconds. He is well above the level of Pulp Fiction: The cult film by Tarantino had only 1.7 “fucks” per minute.

Other movies that Tfue would likely enjoy:

  • Goodfellas with 2.05 “fucks” per minute
  • The Big Lebowski with 2.4 “fucks” per minute
  • The Wolf of Wall Street – the film with Leonardo DiCaprio hits 3.16 “fucks” per minute. Almost Tfue level

This means that the change is not “regularly accessible”, but requires an editor. Technically, this is no longer “Vanilla”, but counts as a mod and was apparently sufficient for disqualification.

Tfue blames “fucking haters”

This is how Tfue reacts: He feels once again cheated out of a deserved success. He says: Whenever he wins a Twitch Rivals fairly, something happens to take that success away from him.

He says (via twitch.clip):

Bro, every time I win Twitch Rivals, someone has to come and complain about something “fucking” that doesn’t even matter.

LoL pro is so bothered by the defeat that he takes his job seriously and finally deletes WoW

The LoL player Martin “Wunder” Hansen (22) is considered one of the greatest talents in European League of Legends, but his passion for World of Warcraft seems to be getting in his way. After a painful defeat, the top laner of G2 Esports has now promised to train harder. First step: He has uninstalled WoW.

What’s the deal with Wunder and WoW? The 22-year-old Dane makes his living with LoL but has been addicted to World of Warcraft for years. Wunder is known for his love of Blizzard’s MMORPG.

In professional LoL matches, he often urges his team, G2, to “wrap it up quickly” because his raid in WoW is waiting for him. This has become a running gag; when G2 quickly finishes a series with 3-0, it’s said behind the scenes: Wunder must have a raid.

His passion for WoW is well documented: In 2019, his team was fined $1,000 by Riot Games. Wunder was simply playing WoW Classic during an official live stream of LoL. Riot Games did not find that funny.

G2 thanked Riot back then: Finally, they had a good excuse to ban Wunder from playing WoW.

Wunder loses important game in LoL, then deletes WoW

This is the defeat: Wunder plays for the European top team G2. This is nominally the strongest team in League of Legends by far, especially since they snatched the best players from the direct competitor Fnatic, Caps and Rekkles.

But G2 is inconsistent: In the playoffs, they lost an important series against the rival Mad Lions 1-3. Suddenly, Wunder proved to be a weak point: He fell short against the Turkish pro Irfan “Armut” Berk Türkek on the top lane. In the series, Wunder died 20 times in 4 games and only secured 8 kills.

G2 has slipped into the “loser bracket” due to the defeat and now must win everything to still become the champion in the Spring Season of the LEC 2021.

This is Wunder’s promise: After the defeat, Wunder merely tweeted: “Okay, I am uninstalling WoW now.” One could take that for one of the typical jokes for which Wunder is known.

However, his behavior clearly shows that he took it seriously: As DotEsports reports (via DotEsports.com), Wunder played 26 solo games in LoL in the last 3 days and won 17 of them. He is now seriously training his mechanics.

Prior to that, he hardly played privately and only completed 94 solo games, while his colleagues Caps and Rekkles had managed five times as many solo games in the same time.

Wunder has also changed his username to “NoWoWFreeWin” – the defeat seems to have motivated him to play the game he actually makes money from more.

The next top laner Wunder faces may encounter a new Wunder. G2 faces Rogue in the semifinals of the playoffs, who just knocked out Schalke 04.

Wunder is a man with clear opinions. He embodies the “For the Lulz” culture of G2 Esports like hardly anyone else. Once, he caught attention for complaining about the official League of Legends chairs and sounded far from diplomatic:

Bad advertising: LoL pro complains about “fucking shit” official chairs

Valheim provides a refreshingly honest answer as to why you can’t play on Mac

The Viking Survival Valheim has sold millions and fascinates countless players on PC. However, so far only on PC – there are no ports for the major consoles PlayStation and Xbox, nor a version for Macs, Apple’s computers. The Valheim team gave an interesting answer as to why this is the case.

What is it about? The survival hit Valheim is one of the most popular games in recent months. Although only a small team worked on the production, the Viking survival game has sold over 6 million copies (via Steam). And the game is still in the testing phase (Early Access).

However, the game is currently only available on PC and for the Linux operating system. While it is possible to run the game on other platforms – officially there are only the PC and Linux versions. A user on Reddit asked the studio about a version for Mac and received a refreshingly honest answer.

What did the Valheim team say about it? The user “AdministrativePast17” posted the response from his email regarding the Mac version on Reddit:

Translation: “We currently do not offer Mac support because we do not have a Mac computer in our office. Providing support, fixing bugs, and testing would take many hours of development that we do not have at the moment. However, it is possible that Mac compatibility will be added at some point.”

At the launch in Early Access on Steam, only five developers worked on Valheim and apparently there was no die-hard Apple fan among them. Because the main reason for the lack of Mac support is simply the fact that they did not have a Mac in the office, said the employee from the studio “IronGate”.

How did this go over with players? In the Valheim subreddit, the thread could garner over 11,000 upvotes and has more than 1,200 comments (as of: April 7, 6:00 PM). The most popular comment is from “bman_78” and has a remarkable 4,300 likes: “The honesty of this answer is refreshing.” Many users seem to be used to a different kind of communication from developer studios.

A discussion then developed about how the small development studio is evolving with its success, what opportunities arise, and what risks such a sudden success brings.

However, a large part of the comments revolves around the fact that this whole issue is about Mac computers. Time and again, one reads “Mac is not for gaming” and various expressions of surprise about why anyone would even buy a Mac. The Valheim discussion nearly becomes a side topic.

What does Valheim generally say about other versions? In the FAQs of Valheim (via valheimgame.com), the developers explain how ports to other platforms stand:

Question: On which platform will Valheim be released?

Answer: Valheim will be released for Windows and Linux. Adding Mac support, fixing bugs, and testing would require many hours of development that we do not currently have, because we are prioritizing the completion of the Windows and Linux versions. We receive many requests for Mac compatibility, so it is possible that support will come later. As for the console release: we are not currently considering it. But it could be something we look into at a later date.

From the Valheim FAQs

The plans for a Mac version are therefore more concrete than a possible release on consoles. However, there is neither a timeline nor a really firm statement about whether the ports will actually come.

Still play on Mac: There are a few ways to play Valheim on your Mac already. One of them is the cloud service “Geforce Now” (via nvidia.com). You can play your purchased Steam games through the app by streaming them from the cloud. There is a free version, but the premium subscription is $9.99 per month. Here you can find more info about Geforce Now.

If you are a little more patient, you can also take the long route: A petition for the porting to Mac currently has 1,000 supporters (via change.org).

For everyone who has been with Valheim for a while, the Mac port is certainly not an issue. It is probably more exciting to see how you can turn Valheim into a true role-playing game on PC. However, the developers’ outlook that Mac computers and consoles may eventually be supported will surely delight players on other platforms.

  • Fabinho receives his first Inform card with a strong 88 rating. Owners of his Headliners card can be pleased, as his CB Headliners card is now getting its first upgrade.
  • For Iago Aspas, it’s already the third TOTW card this FUT year. This fresh Inform card offers an upgrade to an 88 rating and improvements in passing, shooting, and pace.

The Bundesliga and 2. League in TOTW 28

In the current Team of the Week, there are a total of 5 players from the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga.

  • Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich receives an 84-rated right-back card, which has good physical and defensive stats.
  • A strong option for the left wing is the new Inform card from Kostic, which has a strong rating of 86. The speed, passing, and dribbling stats are particularly convincing.
  • Stefan Ortega from Arminia Bielefeld receives a strong upgrade of 6 points and now has an 81-rated Inform card at the goalkeeper position.
  • Thuram from Borussia Mönchengladbach gets a solid upgrade and can now show a card with a rating of 83, which scores with high speed and good shooting stats.
  • Fans of HSV can be happy about an Inform card from Aaron Hunt (79), which overall does not offer particularly strong stats.

If you are still looking for more players for your team, you can find here the best players in FIFA 21 under 300,000 coins.

The endgame of WoW is now significantly more pleasant for twinks

Since the latest update on April 7th, it is now easier to obtain important endgame items in World of Warcraft: sockets. This should especially please players who want to play a twink or switch to a new class.

What kind of grind is this? In the endgame zone “The Maw,” the NPC Ve’nari is located. Players must farm reputation over many weeks to reach the maximum reputation level “Exalted.”

Higher levels are needed for some important items that can be purchased from Ve’nari. Two of them are particularly popular among players who want to get the most out of their character:

  • Fragment of the Unbound Reality – Upgrades one of your media for soul binds with the lowest item level to item level 226
  • Apparatus for Spatial Realignment – Adds a socket to a helmet, ring, belt, necklace, or bracers

How the grind is now easier: With the new change on April 7th, the reputation with Ve’nari is now account-wide. This means that even fresh level 60 twinks have immediate access to the items while exploring the Maw.

However, they still need to farm the required Stygia. About 7,200 units of Stygia are needed for the apparatus, which can also take quite a while.

WoW Venari Reputation Inventory
My rogue has not yet obtained the reputation, but can still buy the items. Just missing the Stygia.

Easier grind makes playing twinks easier

Why was the grind so annoying? The reputation with Ve’nari is limited. Each day, the “Eye of the Jailer” watches everything you do in the Maw.

Most activities, such as completing quests or defeating rare enemies, grant reputation with Ve’nari but also attract the Jailer’s attention. The more intensely he observes you, the harder it becomes to survive in the Maw.

The Eye rises to up to five levels, with the fifth level triggering a stackable debuff. This reduces received healing by 10% per stack, and at 10 stacks, you regularly receive shadow damage.

Additionally, starting from level 5, you can no longer earn reputation with Ve’nari. This means that even if you play a lot, you can only farm a limited reputation with the Broker. For twinks, this has always been a significant obstacle.

What is a twink? A twink, also known as an “alt”, is a secondary character. Twinks typically benefit from players having a “main” character that supplies them with gold and equipment.

Twinks are usually played less than the main. They serve as backup characters or are equipped when a player wants to switch classes.

What benefits from the change? Many players enjoy playing secondary characters or want to try out a different class. This has been difficult, especially in the higher tiers of PvE and PvP.

Because the apparatus and the fragment are important for these areas. The media that are enhanced with the fragment are responsible for a large part of the strength of many classes. They enhance various skills through the soul bind in your covenant. The sockets allow for the final bit of power to be extracted from the character with gems.

With the change, it will now be easier to gear up and play a twink, provided the main has already earned the necessary reputation. However, you should hurry if you still want to play Castle Nathria and Season 1.

Because some evidence suggests that there will be a new grind at Ve’nari with an upcoming patch. Whether the new change will help there remains to be seen.

New MMORPG receives a huge graphics update even before release

The MMORPG Tower of Fantasy (PC, Mobile) has already been in beta in China and is set to be released there in 2021. Notably, the graphics have reminded many of Genshin Impact. A major overhaul of these graphics has now been presented, bringing it even closer to the RPG from miHoYo.

What is Tower of Fantasy? This game is an anime-style MMORPG. It emphasizes a large, open world that you can explore with your characters, quite similar to Genshin Impact.

In the game, you can:

  • complete quests and experience a story
  • climb, swim, and destroy various objects by throwing them into the fire, for example
  • face greater challenges in dungeons
  • talk to NPCs who are supposed to have interesting personalities

In addition to these special features, Tower of Fantasy relies on classic MMORPG elements such as character creation, guilds, crafting, and PvP. Unlike Genshin Impact, it is set in a futuristic world. You play on the planet “Ada”, 300 years after a catastrophe occurred there.

What has happened now? Back in November 2020, we reported on Tower of Fantasy and drew visual comparisons to Genshin Impact. Now the MMORPG is supposed to become even more beautiful.

The developer Hotta Studios, a subsidiary of Perfect World (Perfect World, Magic: Legends), has announced a significant graphical overhaul. You can admire this in this YouTube video for a direct comparison:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK5eKPwA5UA

Tower of Fantasy is getting even more beautiful and resembles Genshin Impact even more

What has been revised? According to the Polish website MMORPG.org.pl, almost all elements have been adjusted, including:

  • textures
  • general character models
  • character movement
  • user interface
  • game environment
  • water effects

With the smoother movements and improved textures, Tower of Fantasy now resembles Genshin Impact even more than it did before.

Is the MMORPG coming to us? So far, there has been no statement on this. Currently, it has only been confirmed that the release for 2021 in China is planned.

However, the game is published by Perfect World. They are also responsible for the publishing of the MMORPG Neverwinter. The company has already released games in Europe and the USA.

This is also supported by the great success of Genshin Impact and the fact that the Western market has a high demand for new MMORPGs.

This is also demonstrated by the collaboration of the Chinese developer Wangyuan Shengtang and the German publisher Gameforge. Because they announced the release of Swords of Legends Online, a successful Chinese MMORPG, on April 7th. More on this here:

The beautiful MMORPG Swords of Legends is set to be released in 2021 on Steam

You can build brilliant VR gloves yourself and they only cost 19 €

You can build these cool VR gloves for little money and even use them in Half-Life: Alyx. We will show you what the parts can do.

What kind of gloves are these? An inventor has been working on VR gloves for a few months. Originally, this was supposed to be just a project for quarantine, he says. But now, over 310,000 people follow the crafter and his project on TikTok.

With the gloves, he aims to make the VR experience even more realistic and provides updates on his progress in weekly videos. Now motors also play a role, making grabbing with the hand more realistic.

This is how the VR gloves work

Why is this cool? With the “normal” VR controllers, you have control through your hands, but it feels unnatural. And controlling each individual finger is often unnecessarily complicated.

As reported by PCGamer, reasonable prototypes of VR gloves likely cost thousands of euros (via PCGamer/roadtovr). The do-it-yourself project by hardware hacker lucas_vrtech looks exciting and costs only about $12 per glove. Approximately 19 € for the pair (then you have to add costs for Bluetooth and Force Feedback). And the parts even have “real” finger tracking. You can control individual fingers in games like Half-Life: Alyx with it.

This is what it looks like: Over 310,000 people have followed lucas_vrtech’s account on TikTok since last December. His videos have been viewed over 4 million times.

On the Hackaday website (via Hackaday.io), the developer writes: “Originally this was just a fun quarantine project to keep me occupied, but 200,000 followers later, this project is now much more than that. My goal now is to spread this project as far as possible and hopefully help more people fall in love with virtual reality.”

From video to video, you can see progress with the gloves. In his prototype #4, the project is already quite impressive. He installed haptic motors, like those from the new PS5 controllers “DualSense”. The motors in the gloves are supposed to create the feeling of actually holding something in your hand when you grab something in the game by the tension of strings.

Currently, the gloves are compatible with games like Half-Life: Alyx, Aperture Hand Lab, or the shooter Pavlov.

This is what happens next: Lucas plans to release a video on YouTube on April 7 at 11:00 PM (via YouTube).

Do you want to build this too?

This is known: The inventor has not yet published a detailed step-by-step guide. However, you can find drawings, parts lists, and an open-source driver for the gloves on the GitHub website (via GitHub).

Is this something you want to try out or do you not have VR at home yet? Share your thoughts on virtual reality here in the comments on MeinMMO.

For many VR games, you need a powerful platform, but where is the best place to buy? A tech YouTuber bought a gaming PC at a China shop – so much stress he had with it.

Pokémon GO: Trainers complain about unfair eggs in the spring event

In Pokémon GO, the Spring Event is in full swing and the centerpiece is special egg bonuses. However, the event eggs are under criticism. The desired Pokémon are once again much too rare, the accusation goes.

This is what the Spring Event entails: Those who hatch eggs during the event only have to walk half the distance. Additionally, there are special 2 km eggs that can be hatched. So for each egg, you only have to walk a maximum of one kilometer. With a Super Incubator, it’s even just 0.7 kilometers.

However, the contents of the eggs are currently causing a lot of stir. The really interesting Pokémon are said to be too rare, enticing players to buy more incubators.

Are eggs compared to the Kapuno Gate – Is that true?

Here’s what people are saying: On reddit, there are various voices expressing disappointment with the eggs. The main complaint is about the probability of Wonneira. The baby Pokémon from Chansey hatches from the eggs with a flower crown and can also appear in its Shiny form. For shiny hunters, this is a new shiny, as previously Wonneira only appeared without a crown in the Shiny form.

The user “AssociationNo6420” (via reddit) showed an overview of 113 hatched eggs in the event. However, only 2 Wonneira were included. The chance was thus 1.77% and is quite low.

Then there are some estimates on the topic. The user LNinefingers (via reddit) calculated that you would have to spend 600 dollars for a Shiny Wonneira. He calculated with one Wonneira in every 50th egg and a shiny chance of 1 in 60. All together, he comes to a shiny after 3000 eggs. If you use the incubators from the current Adventure Box, you end up with 600 dollars to invest in the game.

Other trainers see the chance of finding a Wonneira in an egg as even rarer. They believe that you should rather expect to spend 1000 dollars for a Wonneira. However, you should also consider that with all that money, besides the incubators, you will also receive other items from the Adventure Box.

These are the 2 problems with the eggs: It’s not the first time there’s been stress over the eggs and their probabilities. Time and time again, Pokémon are introduced through eggs that hatch very rarely. This means that players generally have to spend more money to get the desired Pokémon. Here, players repeatedly wish for more transparency. They want to see which Pokémon are likely to appear in the eggs.

The second problem is the incentive that Niantic places on the purchase of incubators. In this case, the desired Pokémon, Wonneira, is in the 2 km egg. No other egg hatches faster. Plus, there’s the halved distance, allowing for even quicker hatching. This way, even with minimal effort, players can hatch many eggs and are encouraged to hatch even more eggs.

What was the Kapuno Gate? This was an event from summer 2020. At that time, Niantic introduced Shiny Kapuno into the game and made it hatch from eggs. The chance of a normal Kapuno was already so low that trainers invested hundreds of euros and often only managed to get 1-2 Kapuno.

During the event, there were loud protests, and since then, more and more complaints have arisen when a Pokémon is particularly rare in eggs.

What happens now with the egg event? The event is now almost over, and so far, the chance of getting Wonneira has not noticeably increased. However, from the past, we know that Niantic does not react favorably. For example, Kapuno is still extremely rare in the eggs, even though there was a lot of stress about it.

If you’ve had enough of the Spring Event and the eggs, you can look forward to Rival Week. There, completely different Pokémon will be in focus:

Pokémon GO starts today’s raid hour with Boreos – Who is it worth for?

In Pokémon GO today, on April 7th, the raid hour with the legendary Pokémon Tornadus in its Incarnate Form is taking place. We will show you the best counters and explain who should participate in this event.

What kind of event is this? The raid hour takes place every Wednesday in Pokémon GO. The event starts at 6:00 PM local time and brings a legendary raid to nearly every gym for one hour. This is your chance to tackle many level 5 raids.

This week you will again encounter the Incarnate Form of Tornadus. We will show you here how to prepare and who should participate.

Best Counters and Info for the Raid Hour with Tornadus

When does it start? As always, the event begins at 6:00 PM local time and is active for one hour. You’re already familiar with this kind of event from the past or from spotlight hours that happen at the same time on Tuesdays.

By 7:00 PM, most raids should be completed. Then the bosses will return to the raids that were active during the Spring Event.

These are the best counters: Tornadus is weak against Electric, Ice, and Rock types. So you should focus on these three types. The best counters are:

AttackerMoves
Thundurus (Incarnate)Volt Switch and Thunderbolt
ZekromCharge Beam and Thunder Shock
RaikouThunder Shock and Thunder Shock
RampardosSmack Down and Rock Slide
ElectivireThunder Shock and Thunder Shock

Looking for more counters to boost your attack team? Then check out our counter guide for Tornadus in Pokémon GO.

How many trainers should participate? If you bring your best counters and a high trainer level, you can defeat Tornadus in its Incarnate Form with just three players. However, it is advisable to form a larger group of at least 5 trainers during the raid hour to complete the raids more quickly. This will give you the opportunity to engage in even more battles within the hour.

With remote raids, you can easily adhere to the contact restrictions currently in place due to the corona pandemic.

This is the story of Tornadus: Tornadus is part of the “Forces of Nature” trio. It represents the storm, while Thundurus stands for thunderstorms and Landorus for the earth. Tornadus is considered a fierce monster in the Pokémon world. It has devastated fields with gigantic storms, and farmers constantly worry about their harvest.

Is the raid hour with Tornadus worth it?

How strong is Tornadus? Tornadus in its Incarnate Form is a Flying type, making it rather uninteresting for raids and battles. It is only somewhat relevant in the Master League. However, there are much stronger alternatives, which is why Tornadus isn’t necessarily needed there.

Is there a Shiny Tornadus in its Incarnate Form? No, unfortunately not. So Shiny hunters have no reason to participate in the raid hour today.

Thus, the raid hour is especially worthwhile for players who want to complete their Pokémon collection and have not yet had the chance to catch a Tornadus.

Will you skip the raid hour this time, or will you collect one or another Tornadus? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and share your thoughts.

If you’re waiting for other events, there are many more coming up in the next weeks. You can find all events in April 2021 in Pokémon GO here.

Xbox Game Pass is getting better – PS Now counters with the flop Avengers

The PlayStation subscription program, PS Now, will receive new games in April. You will be able to play Avengers temporarily, among others. This brings laughter as a comparison to Xbox Game Pass is likely.

What’s going on with PS Now? A total of 3 games have been playable on PS Now since April 6. If you have a subscription, you don’t need to spend any extra money to play these games. The 3 titles are:

  • Marvel’s Avengers (until July 5)
  • Borderlands 3 (until September 29)
  • The Long Dark

PS Now works similarly to the highly praised Xbox Game Pass. You pay a minimum of 5 euros per month depending on the subscription model. In return, you gain access to numerous games that you can play without additional costs.

However, the new games in April earned PlayStation some ridicule. Thus, evil tongues noted: The Xbox Game Pass receives really great games, while PS Now presents the Marvel flop Avengers.

Game Pass is getting intense and PS Now is getting a flop

What’s happening with Game Pass? The subscription model for PC and Xbox gets better month by month. At the end of March, it was announced that the new shooter Outriders will be available for free at release on April 1 in Game Pass – but only for Xbox players. Now, a few days later, the Game Pass confirmed the return of GTA 5, another hit.

In addition, there are numerous high-profile titles, such as The Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, Minecraft, Rainbow Six Siege, or Destiny 2. If you also choose the Game Pass Ultimate for 12.99 euros, you get the games from EA Play, including FIFA 20, Madden 21, or Star Wars: Squadrons. However, one must consider that the games in the PC and console versions differ in some cases. Not every game from the PC Game Pass can be played with the Xbox Game Pass.

The Game Pass is extremely popular in the gaming world and is considered a good deal by many players. MeinMMO editor-in-chief and PlayStation enthusiast Leya Jankowski even mentioned in September 2020 that she would switch to Xbox because of the Game Pass.

What’s available instead at PS Now? A total of 643 titles are displayed when you look at the entire list of PS Now games. There are indeed some well-known games such as Bloodborne, God of War III, Detroit Become Human, or Horizon Zero Dawn.

But especially for multiplayer fans, the selection is rather thin. One could take Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 as an example. While it has a multiplayer, it is no longer entirely current. At least there are two worthy successors with Modern Warfare and Cold War.

However, there will be some new additions in April. With Borderlands 3, a celebrated multiplayer game is coming to PS Now and will be available until at least September. However, there is mockery and ridicule for Marvel’s Avengers, which seems less impressive compared to the new arrivals in Game Pass.

Moreover, with PS Now, you can play console-exclusive Sony games on PC. This works via streaming.

Compared to Game Pass, PS Now is also cheaper. There, you pay 5 euros per month for the cheapest model, while with Game Pass, if you don’t use tricks or promotions, you have to pay at least 9.99 euros after the first month.

What’s the problem with Avengers? Marvel’s Avengers was released in September 2020 and probably convinced very few players. Expectations were high, as Square Enix secured rights to Marvel’s popular franchise and also promised multiplayer.

In the end, however, the game was plagued by many bugs, the story was rather short, and there were many discussions about the loot. In addition, there was criticism regarding the Sony-exclusive character Spider-Man. Players who spent a lot of money on acquiring the game were disappointed. Since then, player numbers for Marvel’s Avengers have remained relatively low. On Steam, they even dropped to under 500 players at one point.

This is what fans say about the release in PS Now: The announcement by PlayStation that Avengers is now available in PS Now caused frustration among PS Now users and laughter from Game Pass users. Under the announcement posts on Twitter, many users say: The Game Pass is simply much better, and the flop Avengers reinforces this feeling.

However, there are also voices defending PS Now. After all, Borderlands 3 is a very good game, and you cannot really compare the two services. For example, both services cost differently. Moreover, PlayStation fans argue that the last hit of the Game Pass, Outriders, is currently receiving rather bad reviews and is plagued by server issues. Therefore, they are not really envious.

The beautiful MMORPG Swords of Legends will be released on Steam in 2021

In 2017, the MMORPG Swords of Legends Online (SOLO) was released in China. This year it is set to come to the West. The publisher Gameforge (TERA, AION) will release the game for PC in Europe and America.

What kind of MMORPG is this? Swords of Legends is set in ancient China and focuses on storytelling and quests. The story revolves around a magical sword that promises great power to its owner. However, this sword is controlled by a demonic creature.

Swords of Legends stands out particularly with its beautiful graphics and is expected to offer the following content at launch:

  • 6 different playable classes – Harbinger, Summoner, Bard, Sword Mage, Berserker, and Spearmaster – each with 2 specializations and no gender lock
  • An active combat system with dodging rolls
  • A game world with various large zones where you can encounter players and monsters from Chinese mythology
  • Fully voiced cutscenes in English
  • Housing where players can retreat
  • Various mounts
  • Dungeons and raids with up to 20 players
  • Various PvP modes where you can fight against other players

MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has already taken a look at Swords of Legends in Taiwanese and created a preview report:

All information about the release of Swords of Legends

When and how will the game come to us? As the publisher Gameforge has informed us, Swords of Legends is expected to be released in the West in summer 2021. The release is planned through the in-house client, on Steam, and at Epic Games.

Before the release, there will also be a closed beta. Currently, there is no exact date for that.

In line with the planned release in the West, Gameforge has already provided us with information and a German trailer for the game, which we have published on YouTube:

Is there a German localization? Yes, the MMORPG is expected to be released with German, English, and French texts. However, the voiceover will only be available in English.

Will the MMORPG be free-to-play? No, you will need to purchase access to the game once. Pre-sales start today, and you can choose between 3 packages:

  • Standard version (€ 39.99)
  • Deluxe Edition (€ 59.99)
  • Collector’s Edition (€ 99.99)

Pre-orderers will receive exclusive cosmetic items and access to the closed beta. Additionally, wish names can be secured even before the official release.

In China, Swords of Legends is a subscription-based game and completely forgoes an in-game shop and pay-to-win mechanics. How it will be with the shop here in the West is currently hard to say. According to a message on Steam, only cosmetic items and no gameplay-relevant content are supposed to be purchasable there.

What are the system requirements for Swords of Legends?

Minimum requirements:

  • Windows 10 64-bit or newer
  • GeForce GTX 760 / Radeon HD 7870
  • AMD FX-6300 / Intel Core i3-4130
  • 8 GB DDR 3

Recommended requirements:

  • Windows 10 64-bit or newer
  • Radeon RX 580 / Nvidia GTX 980Ti
  • AMD Ryzen 5 1600 / Intel Core i5-6600K
  • 16 GB DDR 4

When will there be further information about the game? Gameforge has already announced that there will be more information and news about Swords of Legends shortly. We at MeinMMO will keep you updated.

If you want to get a glimpse of the gameplay, you can check out the video from YouTuber TheLazyPeon. He has tried the Chinese version:

Diablo 3: Your favorite classes in Season 23 ranked from popular to unpopular

You have decided which are your favorite classes in Season 23 of Diablo 3. Two of them are fighting hard for the first place. The others are clearly behind. We will show you the winners and losers.

This is happening in Diablo 3: A few days ago, on April 2, the new Season 23 in Diablo 3 started. It is based on Patch 2.7.0, which fundamentally revised the companions. In addition, Blizzard made some balance changes, which altered the best classes.

We asked you before the start of Season 23, which classes you want to play. In our survey on MeinMMO, you actively participated and showed that especially two classes are particularly popular.

These are the winners and losers of the survey

How the survey went: We evaluated the survey on April 7, 2021, at 12:06 PM. By that time, 2,527 people participated in the survey and each of them could cast one vote. We asked: “Which class do you play in Season 23 of Diablo 3?” and provided the 7 classes from Diablo 3 as each one answer option.

The results: Based on the votes cast, it is clear that especially the Wizard and the Barbarian are popular among you.

  1. Wizard with 643 votes (approximately 25 %)
  2. Barbarian with 622 votes (approximately 25 %)
  3. Demon Hunter with 356 votes (approximately 14 %)
  4. Necromancer with 327 votes (approximately 13 %)
  5. Crusader with 275 votes (approximately 11 %)
  6. Monk with 159 votes (approximately 6 %)
  7. Witch Doctor with 145 votes (approximately 6 %)

What stands out: The Wizard received several changes to his Firebird set in recent weeks. Buffs, nerfs, and then buffs again. Even on the test servers, it turned out that the Firebird set combined with the Mirrors offers a lot of potential. Some of you seem to have thought so too and therefore chose the Wizard in Season 23.

Moreover, the Wizard is represented twice in the Tier list of Season 23 in Diablo 3 in the highest S-Tier.

In second place in our survey is the Barbarian. While it does not play in the S-Tier of the Tier list, it has a potent starter set that competes in the A-Tier.

But other players relied more on fate. As Sina wrote on MeinMMO: “Very cool. I haven’t tried a Witch Doctor yet, I want to try it out. Fate turned: Witch Doctor. It should be that way”

The losers – what is behind it?

Far behind in the survey were Monk and Witch Doctor with only 6 % of your votes each. Possible reasons for this could be that there have been few changes for these classes recently.

Diablo 3 Witch Doctor Question Mark Title

Witch Doctors were excited about the new Mundunugu set in Season 20. This skyrocketed the class’s popularity, as there was finally a new playstyle again. During the season, the Witch Doctor was played a lot. However, that gradually decreased.

In Season 22, the Witch Doctor and Monks were not incredibly popular either. The Demon Hunter was in demand due to its new GoD set.

It often shows with the favorite classes of the season that the builds and classes that experienced changes are the ones that are trending.

Please write to us in the comments which class you are currently playing in Season 23 of Diablo 3 and why you decided on it. Is it a class that you always play again, or are there balance changes that spark your curiosity?

Fortnite now rewards you when you get your friends excited about the game

In Fortnite you can now secure 4 cool rewards for a limited time if you bring friends back to the game. We will show you what it is and how it works.

What gifts do you get? As part of the “Reboot a Friend” program, you will receive 4 free items from Fortnite. However, you have to bring friends back to the game. Anyone who earns enough points during the event will get these items for free:

  • The Glider “Gift Shock”
  • The Weapon Wrap “Heartbeat”
  • The Pickaxe “Plasma Carrot” (with two different styles)
  • The Spray “Reboot a Friend”
You will receive these 4 gifts when you bring friends back to Fortnite

All these rewards can be unlocked for a limited time if you have met all the requirements. We will show you how this works.

Bringing back friends – Here’s how

What does this mean? After Fortnite tested the “Reboot a Friend” program during a beta phase, the event is back again. This program is about bringing back friends who haven’t played Fortnite for over 30 days. It’s called “Reactivation of Friends.” Participants will be rewarded with cool gifts.

This is what you need to do to participate: Unlike in the beta phase, everyone can participate now, even if you don’t have friends to reboot. However, you first need to go to the official program page and register there (via rebootafriend.fortnite.com). On the page, there is a button that says: “Get Started.” You should press this button.

Once you press the button, you will be asked to log in. Simply choose your desired platform or log in with your Epic account.

You should press this button to log in

After logging in, 3 fields will be displayed where you can reboot friends. Clicking on each field will bring up a list of friends who haven’t played Fortnite for more than 30 days. Select the friends you want to reboot and then start your matches together.

Important: If you don’t have friends to reboot (i.e., friends who have not played Fortnite for over 30 days), you can simply select a friend from the list and play various matches with them. This only applies if you do not have any friends that you could reactivate – otherwise, you must reactivate a friend to earn points.

This is how points are distributed: For rebooting friends, you earn points that are needed to unlock the gifts. The more friends you bring back, the faster you accumulate the points you need. Here’s how the points are distributed:

  • 100 points for the first match with each rebooted friend – a total of 300 points if you bring back 3 friends
  • 10 points per match played – for all further rounds you play with these friends

Players who do not reboot friends and only play matches with friends do not get the 100-point bonus. However, they can earn 10 points for each match played – which will take longer. If you want to speed up the process, you should play with several friends at the same time.

This is how many points you need to receive the rewards:

  • 100 points: Spray
  • 200 points: Wrap
  • 300 points: Glider
  • 400 points: Pickaxe

The gifts are not just for you, but also for the friends you bring back to Fortnite. So if you were thinking about starting to play Fortnite again anyway, now is a good time.

Until when do you have time for this? The “Reboot a Friend” program will be active until Monday, April 26, 2021, at 8:59 AM. Until then, you have time to unlock the gifts.

So if you want to play with friends who haven’t played Fortnite for a long time, now would be the ideal moment. If you want to unlock the special skins of Season 6, you will need to play a lot of matches anyway, and by participating in the program, you can even secure 4 cool gifts along the way.
