The supply of hardware, especially graphics cards, has been low for months. AMD recently sold a limited edition of the RX 6800 XT. But before most “real” buyers had a chance, it was sold out.
This is what happened: Hardware manufacturer AMD informed members of the “AMD Red Team” that they would be selling a limited edition of the RX 6800 XT starting April 7 at around 3 PM. With the email announcing the graphics card, they wanted to inform interested parties in advance.
However, a targeted protection against scalpers, who could snatch the cards from potential honest buyers, was lacking.
Gamers are disappointed about this
Here was the problem: The announcement of the “Midnight Black Edition” of the AMD RX 6800 XT graphics card was made via email to the AMD Red Team. Anyone who wants to become a member can register on the website (via amd.com/de).
AMD writes about the Red Team: “Subscribe to the AMD Red Team Newsletter to receive exclusive content on AMD product launches, the hottest new games, and community events you shouldn’t miss.”
The special edition of the graphics card only changes visually. The technology that lies underneath remains the same.
AMD then offered the “Midnight Black” edition of the RX 6800 XT for sale on the same website that bots, scalpers, and everyone else already know. In the shop section of the AMD website.
This means that bots, which are already keeping a close eye on this page, could directly see the new product and jump on it.
In the email, there was a link that was supposed to lead to the sales page. Apparently to make it easier for the Red Team members to find the card. However, users report that this link did not work. Many could not secure a card. User @Bounty_V shared a screenshot on Twitter and wrote: “That sums up the experience. The Red Team link led to a page where you could not buy. I only saw it through the main store and adding to the cart didn’t work. Cool. I feel very included in this exclusive offer.”

The tweet was published by the user only 54 minutes after the official start of the sale in the store
What could have been done differently? The Verge (via theverge.com) also addresses the issue and wonders why they don’t cater to the fans in the buying process when they are already announcing it for the Team Red members. Suggestions include
verifying the email addresses of buyers
sending unique passwords to interested parties via a preliminary email
or a raffle among the members
These measures might have given interested users a better chance of securing one of the popular graphics cards.
Our colleague Nils Raettig from GameStar believes that AMD showed no sensitivity with this “offer”. Why the limited edition of the RX 6800 XT was pure mockery for him, you can read on GameStar (via GameStar.de)
How expensive the cards are now being resold
Here are the prices: On the AMD website, the card was offered at the usual price of $649. In the meantime, some of the limited editions can already be found on eBay again. As you might guess, the prices there are skyrocketing.
Sellers are asking on eBay for sometimes three times what they originally paid for the cards.
Graphics cards are currently in high demand. Prices are soaring due to the low supply, and even smugglers have realized that they can make a lot of money from this.
With the Blackwood expansion, the Blackwood will be introduced into the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S). Zenimax Online has now presented this area a bit closer.
What is the Blackwood? The area represents the border between Cyrodiil in the middle of the Tamriel continent and the Black Marsh in the southeast. Here, beautiful forests and meadows transition into a dark swamp landscape, making this place particularly exciting and interesting. Art Director CJ Grebb explains:
We were excited about the opportunity to explore the gentle hills and the deciduous forests of the Niben, an environment that will be familiar to those brave souls who have spent much time in Cyrodiil. However, due to the spatial distance from the War of Three Banners, niches of tranquility have formed, allowing nature lovers to enjoy long stretches of untouched (yet dangerous) forests.
A video shows you what the area looks like:
A large new area full of killer frogs
How big is the area? You can expect a zone in the Blackwood expansion that is similar in size to the areas introduced with the Elsweyr and Summerset expansions in the MMORPG ESO.
You’ll expect around 30 hours of new content in the form of stories and quests. The missions will take you to the two cities of Leyawiin and Gideon, as well as six dungeons, two public dungeons, and a new trial for 12 players. You will face six bosses and also enter the Oblivion Gates. However, the developers want to talk about these world events at a later time.
You will explore ancient Argonian temples and Daedric dungeons. Numerous challenges and dangers await you there.
What new enemies await you? CJ Grubb reveals that the Deathjumpers await you in the swamps. They are giant frogs that bury themselves in the mud and then leap from their hiding place to grab their victims with their tongues and bite them to death with their sharp teeth.
In addition, wild dogs roam the swamps, and you will also encounter the reptilian Wamasu, who lay their eggs in the area.
What else is special about the Blackwood? As it is the border area between Cyrodiil and the Black Marsh, you can expect a unique culture mainly consisting of Imperials and Argonians. Since Elsweyr is not far away, many Khajiit also roam the Blackwood. In the cities, the races have learned to live peacefully together, even though there is war in Cyrodiil, which you experience in PvP. Zone Lead Jason Barnes explains:
The Imperials in Blackwood have come to terms with their separation from the main part of the Empire and want to lead a completely normal life – even if the odds may seem bleak for them. The Argonians here are more adventurous than their cousins in their homeland, and the city of Gideon serves somewhat as a border, allowing Argonians from the Black Marsh to leave the marshes and enter safer territory.
However, outside the cities, a different picture emerges. Because there are tensions between the races, and you arrive in the Blackwood at a time when the powder keg is about to explode. This will make it very exciting to explore the Blackwood when the Blackwood addon is released on June 1 for PC and on June 8 for the consoles PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

In Valheim, a creative player has started making “professional” commercials for their in-game farm. These videos have been well-received in the community due to the humorous texts and a voice that fits the advertisement.
What are these commercials about? The focus of the advertising is “Homestead Farms,” a farm in Valheim. Reddit user TheNarrator11 has already published two commercials about it and is working on another part in the background.
He parodies classic commercials with his videos and appears incredibly professional. This is due to both the images shown and the appropriate voice of the speaker along with the accompanying music.
The first video revolves around beets that were grown without pesticides and only through “sun, cultivated soil, and water.”

A video takes 90 minutes of work, yet excites thousands
What does the creator say about the videos? TheNarrator11 mainly enjoys the videos and sees them as his “personal endgame” in Valheim.
In an interview, he revealed that such a commercial takes about 90 minutes of work. He records the video himself and also speaks the text. Only the music consists of pre-made, royalty-free pieces.
Additionally, TheNarrator11 shared that he has modeled his speaking style after actor Sam Elliott and his accent (via Gamesradar).
How are his videos received? His first video was released on April 8 and received over 13,000 upvotes in the Valheim subreddit. This made the commercial make it into the top 10 of the last 30 days.
His second commercial about the sausages has already garnered over 3,000 upvotes and is currently in 3rd place in the subreddit with over 3,000 upvotes.
Under both videos, there are numerous positive comments:
y6n5 is totally thrilled with the videos: “OMG HAHAHA! So great! I love the camera work, the slow pans, the lighting… It’s all genius.”
User chaosrain8 credits the voice for the success: “This is very silly. But your voice… Your voice makes it professional. I’ll invest a stack of iron.”
woodchipsalad even finds the new spot better than the first: “I couldn’t stop laughing at ‘something that’s in all of us.’ These commercials keep getting better. Now I want all my YouTube ads to look like that.”
Additionally, many users under the first part requested another video. They have since received that.
What’s next? TheNarrator11 has already announced a new commercial. This will likely focus on alchemy and potions, as an initial screenshot shows (via reddit).
So, for those who enjoyed the videos, more parts can be expected.
In April 2021, numerous field research tasks await you in Pokémon GO. Here, we present 7 highlights that are always worth it.
We will show you here: There are plenty of field research tasks, and some of them involve Pokémon that are really worth it. However, since you don’t know what’s inside before completing the quest, we provide you with assistance here.
For this, we present you with 7 quests that all feature exciting Pokémon. They are, for example, strong or are hard to obtain in their Shiny form otherwise.
These field research tasks are particularly strong in April 2021
Catch 5 Pokémon: This field research task is probably the quickest to complete and rewards you with a male or female Nidoran. Sure, the Pokémon is not incredibly rare or strong, but the quest can be solved quickly and may reward you with a Shiny.
The two Nidoran forms are among the quest rewards in April.
Catch 5 Pokémon with weather boosts: This quest has been around for several years, but it never really gets bad. After completing the field research, you will encounter a Vulpix or a Quapsel. Both Pokémon can be Shiny and currently appear rather rarely in the wild. The task is easy to solve and may reward you with a Shiny – so why not take it?
Land 5 great curveball throws in a row: This task is a bit tricky but rewards you with Pandir, which you cannot obtain in any other way. So, if you’re looking for a Shiny Pandir, you should take on this quest and try to complete it.
Land 5 good throws: This is another task that is quick to complete and rewards you with a rare Shiny. Voltobal appears very rarely outside of events in Pokémon GO and if you are still looking for the Shiny, you should take on this quest – after all, the time investment is not large.
Land 3 fabulous throws in a row: This task is probably the trickiest on the list, but it also rewards you with the best Pokémon from this selection: Kaumalat! If you manage to get 3 fabulous throws in a row, you’ll encounter a Kaumalat, which may also appear as Shiny with luck. Kaumalat is extremely rare in the wild and belongs to the rarest Shinys in the game. So, you should test your luck with this quest.
So worthwhile is Kaumalat: Even for players who do not particularly value Shinys, Kaumalat is interesting. The final evolution Knakrack is among the best attackers in the game. As a Dragon and Ground attacker, this Pokémon is a great choice that should not be missing from any team.
Win a raid: Anyone who completes their daily raid should ideally also have this quest in their lineup. As a reward, there is Kastadur. The Shiny form of Kastadur was introduced through a regional event and we in Germany never had an event where you could chase Kastadur. This quest at least gives the opportunity for the rare Shiny.
Send 3 gifts to friends: This field research includes Scoppel as a reward. The Shiny form of Scoppel was only introduced during the spring event and is brand new to the game. If you had no Shiny luck at the event, you should use this quest. Maybe it will work out there. After all, you send gifts every day, so this field research can be completed quickly.
In addition to the new field research tasks in April, numerous other events await you. We provide you with a suitable overview here:
The first testers are already eagerly playing the alpha of Diablo 2: Resurrected. Viewers notice visual changes to the enemy Blood Raven that they don’t like.
What’s going on with Diablo 2? On April 8, testing for Diablo 2: Resurrected already started for some streamers. Blizzard announced the remaster at this year’s BlizzCon and received much praise for it. Basically, you are replaying the old Diablo 2, but with improved graphics and some quality-of-life changes.
While the new effects of the spells are celebrated, the design of Blood Raven is not well received by players. They claim it strayed too far from the original, the players write.
Difference between Remake and Remaster In earlier leaks about Diablo 2, a remake was mentioned. But Diablo II: Resurrected is a remaster. A remaster is technically based on the foundation of the original game. It is visually improved and brings a few optional comfort features. A remake, on the other hand, would be a version of the original title developed from scratch.
“It looks worse, just in better resolution”
This is the comparison: In the Reddit about Diablo, the alpha of Diablo 2 is currently the big topic. One thread discusses the design of Blood Raven. She is one of the enemies in Act 1, in the Amazon’s camp. For a quest, you are supposed to take her down.
The focus is on the design. User Cat5kable writes that Blood Raven has matured in the remaster and compares it with a before/after image showing the visual changes.
These images are shown by Cat5kable as a comparison (via reddit.com)
This is what part of the community says: The thread is popular and has already gathered over 480 comments (as of April 9 at 11:20 AM). User Jman5 writes (via reddit.com), that he never knew that Blood Raven wears a mask made from a raven’s head. “I wonder what other details of iconic characters will appear that were hidden due to low resolution,” he writes. Others add that it’s not just a mask, but actually the head of a raven.
Others write
“Good or not. This is not even close to the original Blood Raven.”
“As someone who played thousands of hours of Diablo 2, I wouldn’t even know what I’m looking at without context”
“This is not at all how my imagination filled in the gaps. I don’t like it.”
“Pretty disappointed with this change. It doesn’t really represent the old model well.”
“Honestly, I think she looks much worse, just in better resolution”
“To be honest, I’ll probably choose the original graphics instead of the new 3D graphics while playing. Blizzard takes so many artistic liberties when it comes to the characters in the game.”
Players are also complaining about physical changes to Blood Raven. Her bust size is said to have been significantly reduced.
How is the graphics received?
This is praised: Apart from the details about Blood Raven, there is much praise for the graphics of Diablo 2: Resurrected. Especially the spell animations receive a lot of positive feedback.
You can see the new effects in this clip from the stream of Monsters and Explosions with our colleagues Julius Busch and Ann-Kathrin Kuhls.

Also on YouTube, there is much praise for the remaster of Diablo 2. IGN released a 16-minute video with gameplay from the technical alpha (via YouTube.com). Below, players write:
“The music! So nostalgic”
“I had forgotten how good the soundtrack is”
“This looks amazing”
“Looks fantastic. So why do all new games in the genre think they need a bright neon color palette and exploding neon [colors] covering the screen?”
Now you probably want to jump in and see the new effects and revamped enemies in the alpha yourself? With a bit of luck, you might be able to do that this weekend. If Blizzard does not select you for the test, you have the chance for loot in the form of game keys at MeinMMO.
In the first days of Outriders there was an exploit that gave players an extreme amount of legendary items. It is said to be fixed now. However, the fix is quite spicy, as it involves side quests such as hunts and bounties. These are particularly popular among players who prefer a more relaxed experience. Now it is no longer worthwhile to help friends with the quests. The exploiters get away without penalties.
Here is the situation: In Outriders, there are “Hunter” and “Wanted” quests. In these quests, players must complete 10 steps, which are essentially separate side quests:
A quest takes about half an hour
Each step provides an armor or weapon epic
Once all 10 steps are completed, a legendary item is guaranteed.
These quests are popular with players who like to play without much time pressure. Because in the big endgame activities of Outriders, a timer counts down. This is simply too much stress for some.
While the expeditions are significantly more efficient for farming items, quests remain popular.
Exploit Gives 10 Times More Legendary Items Than Planned
This was the exploit: In the first week after the launch of Outriders, it apparently was possible for exploiters to obtain a separate legendary item for each of the 10 sub-steps of a quest.
This meant players did not receive 1 legendary item per hour – as planned – but 10 legendary items per hour.
To carry out the exploit, it apparently was necessary to exploit a specific multiplayer bug, as the developers of Outriders explain.

This is the fix now: Outriders has now implemented in a hotfix that players will not receive legendary items for “further completions of the quest” anymore.
This means:
Those who complete a quest for the first time still receive the guaranteed legendary item
However, those who complete the quest for the second time will no longer receive the item
This is the problem with the fix: The players of Outriders are now complaining that after the fix there is no motivation to help friends or other players complete a quest they have already finished.
Additionally, it is criticized that the players who exploited the bug are not punished. This means that the temptation for exploiters to exploit the next bug is high.
In any case, it seems that some players have already filled their pockets with legendary items in the first days, and the exploiters now have a significant lead over the other players.
Another major criticism of the patch is at the moment that it does not buff the “Devastator” class. This class is currently so weak that Devastators are being kicked out of groups:
Outriders offers plenty of ways to enhance your gaming experience to your liking. On PC, you can adjust the graphics to ensure even weaker cards deliver smooth gameplay. Here you will find settings for better performance and smoother gameplay.
What settings are available? In Outriders, you can change many options to suit your preferences. Here you will find adjustments for:
Graphics
Framerate (FPS)
Gameplay
With minor tweaks in the right places, you can get a lot out of each of these areas without sacrificing too much quality. Some issues can also be fixed this way.
What do the settings do? The goal is to improve both the FPS and provide a generally smoother gaming experience. This includes better cutscenes, more enjoyable gameplay, and improved graphical representation without sacrificing performance.
You can make a lot of settings in Outriders. MeinMMO shows you five of them that improve the game on PC.
The best graphics settings for more FPS
These settings deliver the best FPS: In the options menu, you will find the “Display” and “Display (Advanced)” sections. Make the following adjustments:
Window Mode: Fullscreen
Activate FPS Limit: off or 239
Limit Mouse to Window: off
Field of View (FOV): 80
Motion Blur: off
Quality Preset: Custom
Effects Quality: Medium
Texture Quality: High
Shadow Quality: Medium
Anti-Aliasing: off
Post-Processing Quality: Medium
View Distance Quality: Low
Foliage Quality: Low
You will hardly miss any notable visual details with these options. View distance and shadows, for instance, are rarely noticeably different in Outriders; textures are significantly more important. You should be able to get over 100 FPS even with a GTX 2080 and similar or older cards.
This is how beautiful Outriders looks with the settings on my 2080 and still runs over 110 FPS.
If you have a stronger card, such as a new 3080, you can also increase the details. Start with effects and textures and then work your way through the options.
What else can I change? You can disable VSync if you have trouble hearing shots. Some users experienced the problem of not hearing shots from enemies, and disabling VSync helped in this case. This was also the case in our test.
You should adjust the brightness if you are in a particularly bright or dark room. However, the setting is subjective, and you need to find your own optimal value.
By the way, there can be a bug in Outriders where you cannot hear enemy shots. In this case, disable VSync and the FPS limit to bypass the issue until it is fixed.
DirectX is a graphics interface that every PC gamer likely uses, even if they don’t know it directly. Some time ago, the latest version, DirectX 12, was released.
However, it often causes problems, as DirectX 12 does not run smoothly for some users. It results in stuttering in the game, almost like micro-lags, but continuous.
Outriders prompts you at startup via Steam to choose whether to use DirectX 11 or 12. If you notice stuttering, simply switch versions – it doesn’t matter which direction. This can help.
Here’s how to improve cinematics: To achieve better cutscenes, you need to adjust two settings:
Cinematic Camera Stabilization: 1.00 (under “Gameplay”)
Cinematic Max. FPS: 120 (under “Display”)
For stabilization, you can start at 0.25 and then work your way up if you lose immersion due to a too steady camera. With 1.00, the shaking in cutscenes is almost completely gone.
Why this is useful: Outriders frequently interrupts gameplay with cinematics where characters interact or landscapes are shown. There have been complaints about camera control since the demo, and scenes are limited to 30 FPS by default.

The image shakes constantly as if someone with a shaky hand and handheld camera is filming everything like in an amateur film. The effect is quite nice and fits the harsh post-apocalypse, but it can cause motion sickness or nausea for some players.
If you have an Nvidia graphics card, you can enable DLSS in the display options (“Deep Learning Super Sampling”). This allows your graphics card to constantly adjust while playing to how your settings work optimally for your needs. You have five options here:
Ultra Performance
Performance
Balanced
Quality
Off
Focusing on performance gets you more FPS out of your game, while quality makes everything look nicer. We recommend the settings “Balanced” or “Performance” if you’re playing with the graphics options mentioned above.
In general, DLSS helps to achieve smoother and prettier gameplay. However, focusing on performance may cause details like hair to suddenly look a bit messy. It’s best to experiment to find out which setting you prefer.
Auto-Loot threshold set to “Common” for better looting
In the gameplay options, you will find the setting “Minimum Rarity (Auto Pick-Up)”. This setting is set to “Epic” by default. We recommend changing this threshold to “Common”.
You can even dismantle loot on the go if you’re carrying too much. With the “H” key, you can pick up all loot in the vicinity above the minimum rarity. You can reassign this key in the “Controls” section of the menu.
If you want better loot, you need to increase the world tiers. There is also an option for this in the gameplay menu: Automatically set max world tier. Set this option to “On” and you will always play at the maximum possible world tier.
Although the game will become harder, you will also collect stronger equipment. And to reach further tiers, you will have to play on harder difficulties anyway. You can find more about this in our guide:
Today, we present to you seven MMORPGs that had to change their payment model: They switched from a subscription or purchase model to a free-to-play model. But did this change help the online role-playing games?
Until about ten years ago, free-to-play was a payment model that many gamers viewed with skepticism. Therefore, MMORPG developers tried to start with a subscription model: It promised quality and built trust – after all, titles like World of Warcraft made a lot of money with it. A subscription signaled stability and a steady flow of content.
Over time, the situation changed. Free-to-play became fairer, more players looked at titles that were essentially ‘free’, and the subscription model met with increasing rejection: players wanted to maintain only one subscription at a time. They felt that they were not getting enough ‘value’ for their money if they did not play regularly or even constantly.
Many games ultimately no longer had enough subscribers to ensure ongoing operations. The developers had to come up with something for their online games and changed many of them to a free-to-play model.
Update April 9, 2021: Some new information about the current status of MMORPGs has been added.
We look at seven MMORPGs that were converted to a free-to-play model and tell you whether this change was good for the game.
[toc]
The Lord of the Rings Online (LotRO)
Genre: Themepark MMORPG | Release date: April 24, 2007 | Initial payment model: Buy-to-play with subscription | Change to free-to-play occurred on: November 2, 2010 | Website: The Lord of the Rings Online on Steam
What payment model did the game start with? The MMORPG started on April 24, 2007 as a buy-to-play game with a subscription. At that time, this was basically the common method to release an online role-playing game.
After all, World of Warcraft had shown that an MMORPG with a subscription can run successfully for a long time.
Why was the change to free-to-play made? In June 2010, the developers announced they would change LotRO to a free-to-play model with an in-game shop.
The developers recognized the influx that the previously converted free-to-play MMORPG Dungeons & Dragons Online experienced and believed it was a good time to adjust The Lord of the Rings Online as well.
To promote further growth, the decision was made to introduce a free-to-play version. This also launched on November 2, 2010.

What happened to the MMORPG after the change? Thanks to the free-to-play model, The Lord of the Rings Online initially saw an increase in players. However, over the years, the numbers declined, which is probably also due to the age of the online game.
The change to free-to-play has surely helped ensure that The Lord of the Rings Online is still alive today and could be expanded and developed in a planned manner over the years.

Grinding Gear Games announced the new expansion Ultimatum for the action role-playing game Path of Exile (PoE). You can expect some new challenges where you must proceed very carefully.
Do you want to grab particularly powerful loot and risk losing everything you’ve earned, or are you satisfied with less?
In the game, the Trialmaster Chaos appears to challenge you to take risks. These are associated with valuable loot or harsh loss. The highlights are two Trials:
Risk it all: The Trialmaster presents you with a challenge where you must defeat powerful enemies. If you succeed, a reward awaits. Or you can continue and attempt to fight these monsters at a higher difficulty level. Then you will receive even more valuable loot. If you choose to stop, the earned items belong to you. However, if you keep going and fight against increasingly tougher foes, you risk losing everything. If you are defeated, everything you earned in the challenge will be lost.
Double or Nothing: This second Trial is based on a similar principle to Risk it all. You have to bring an item into the realm of the Trialmaster and master a challenge there. If you succeed, you will receive an item worth double. However, if you lose, your item is gone.
The trailer gives you a glimpse into the new league of Path of Exile:

What else is new? There are new items and skills in Path of Exile 3.14 that you can use to face the enemies. The following items have been introduced as new Uniques:
Glimpse of Chas Vaal Mask – the item grants you bonuses to life, mana, and energy shield, but reduces elemental resistances and has no resistance to chaos.
Mahuxotl’s Machination – you receive six Keystone Passive Skills at once. You can freely combine these, which the developers of PoE claim should have special effects.
Players find the overhaul of the reward system particularly exciting. Loot from previous leagues will be altered, and the general loot will also be revised. According to the developers, it couldn’t convince players as much as Managing Director Chris Wilson explains:
The “core drop pool” of items received from killing regular monsters wasn’t really convincing enough.
The new loot includes the extremely rare Reliquary Key, which you can use to enter a treasure chamber. There you will find versions of the new league items. Also, high-level monsters can drop very powerful items without you having to participate in special content like events.
Additionally, you can see the effects of enchantments before selecting them, and you now get a larger selection of items from the NPC Cadiro through the item Pandau’s Coin. The rewards from Incubators have been improved, new Beastcrafts are included, and the rewards from the boss Atziri have been optimized.
What do players think of the new league? What Grinding Gear Games has shown so far of PoE: Ultimatum is being received excellently. Here you can read some opinions from the community:
FearlessSpinner jokingly comments on the new trailer (via Youtube): “I hate how the game manipulates me. Me before the trailer: I will probably pass on the next league. Me after the trailer: I can’t wait! Let’s go!”
Geosgaeno is particularly excited about the revamped reward system (via reddit): “This is exactly what I love! Reworks!”
Malicharo writes (via reddit): “I don’t think I’ve ever been this hyped about a league.”
MrNiab explains (via reddit): “I am really very impressed with this update so far.”
When does Ultimatum start? The new league of PoE will start on April 16 on PC and on April 21 on PS4/PS5 and Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X/S. Then we will see if the announced innovations and changes are really as good as they sound.
What do you think of Path of Exile: Ultimatum? Are you looking forward to the new league?
In co-op mode of Outriders you might quickly be excluded if you play with the wrong class. This is currently the case for many players of the Devastator.
This is the situation in Outriders co-op: In Outriders you can experience the story together in 3-player co-op. If you don’t have friends who game, you can team up with random online players.
In a group with strangers, especially players of the “Devastator” class notice that they may have chosen the wrong class. The Devastator is so unpopular that they are kicked out of the lobby by other players.
We explain what makes the Devastator so despised by other players.
Devastator is simply too weak – Gets sorted out in co-op
What is the problem with the Devastator? This class is the tank in Outriders. They are supposed to withstand a lot of damage, but in return, they don’t deal that much damage themselves. This is a pain point for many players.
The problem for the Devastator is that for expeditions in the endgame, quick rounds are rewarded. The faster you complete an expedition, the better your chances for strong rewards. This is precisely why a Devastator is somewhat redundant. The players of Outriders want to win quickly and not particularly safely by relying on a tank.
When comparing the Devastator to other classes, it falls quite short – at least in terms of damage output. However, there is a Devastator build that makes you a tank that still deals damage. However, the damage output of most Devastators seems so weak that the class has now gained a bad reputation.
Players report: Generally, the sentiment is the same: The Devastator is simply too weak compared to the other classes. Players on Reddit consistently report that they are kicked from co-op rounds before the round even starts. Just because they are playing as a Devastator.
It is already said that the Devastator is at a significant disadvantage in the endgame because many rounds are simply held without this class.

A similar picture emerges on MeinMMO in the comments as well. For example, Pat says: “I hope they buff the Devastator. It is currently really disadvantaged regarding the endgame. I can understand my colleague’s frustration. How can it be that the class, whose skill tree is based on shotguns and bleeding, and is designed for close combat in the middle of enemy hordes, deals virtually no damage in the endgame and is even kicked out when others see that a Devastator has joined?”
If you are interested in more about Outriders, you might also find this appealing:
What does this mean for the Devastator now? If you have chosen the Devastator, there is currently little you can do. Especially in the endgame, there are recurring exclusions. You can avoid this by playing with friends who pay attention not only to the class but also to the person behind it.
Otherwise, one can only hope that the Devastator receives a buff so that they can compete with the other 3 classes and are not excluded anymore.
The first major patch for Outriders at least did not bring a buff for the Devastator. Instead, it included numerous other adjustments and even compensations for players:
One day before the new season of E-Sports for Hearthstone starts, Blizzard has banned one of the 48 Grandmasters, Paul “Zalae” Nemeth, from the tournament. This is referred to as “allegations” against him.
This is the short-term ban: On April 9, the new season of the “Hearthstone Grandmasters” begins. 16 selected players from each region will compete against each other. These are the Grandmasters, handpicked super players, of which there are only 48 in the world.
But in the “Americas” region, one is now missing: Instead of 16 players, only 15 will compete.
For Blizzard announced just before the tournament started:
“Hearthstone Esports is aware that there are allegations against the Americas Grandmaster, Paul “Zalae” Nemeth.
Until the investigation is complete, we have excluded Zalae from participating in all E-Sports events in Hearthstone.”

What are the allegations? Blizzard does not elaborate further. But it is obvious that they refer to allegations made three months ago by Zalae’s ex-girlfriend (via twitter).
On January 19, the streamer and community manager from Mythgard, Rini, published a post on Twitter and a video on YouTube:
The two had lived together and according to Rini, during the end of the relationship, there were situations where she felt threatened by Zalae: He had loomed over her and pressured her.
At the end of the relationship, he became so angry once that he grabbed her, threw her onto the bed, sat on her, and held a pillow over her face, so that she could not breathe – only when she shouted “I can’t breathe anymore”, did he let go of her.
The next morning, he woke her up early and told her she needed to leave the house quickly, as he no longer felt safe.

In the YouTube video, Rini talks about her relationship with Zalae.
Rini describes in detail the difficulties in the relationship with Zalae. The problem is that they had a strong connection with each other, but Zalae is a control freak who urgently needs anger management therapy.
After the ban of Zalae, Rini wrote that she now feels so “heard” that she is speechless.
Grandmaster was introduced as a participant, then banned
Why is the ban coming so late? It is unclear why Zalae was introduced as one of the 16 participants only to be banned afterward. Blizzard is refusing to comment to the parties who have inquired, stating simply: They do not discuss internal investigations.
However, Zalae’s ban is said to last for at least a year.
It can probably be assumed that a 16th player will be found for the big tournament in Hearthstone.
The problem is that there are only these 48 Hearthstone Grandmasters – these are the 16 best players in a region. It is difficult to be promoted to Grandmaster. Blizzard has also been criticized for the Grandmaster system: It only promotes the best players, while all others can hardly earn money with Hearthstone.
In 2021, Blizzard finds itself for the second time in a situation where they have to deal with allegations against a prominent player of one of their games. The former Overwatch superstar, Sinatraa, was also accused by an ex-girlfriend of serious allegations:
To Path of Exile 2, a new trailer and 20 minutes of gameplay have been released. The action RPG impresses with its gameplay as well as its beautiful graphics. Thus, it becomes a strong competitor to Diablo 4.
What can be seen in the videos? The trailer and the gameplay focus on the second of a total of seven acts that Path of Exile 2 is supposed to have. In this, the player follows his enemies through a desert, which is also the main hub of the act.
Throughout the gameplay, the scenery changes, so the player also has to fight through a cave and ancient ruins. Various weapons, enemies, and a miniboss are shown.
The beautiful graphics of the game immediately catch the eye. Especially the lighting, particle effects, and the general environments look great. In addition, there are sound effects perfectly matched to the actions.
Sound and graphics are also praised by viewers below the video.

What can be inferred from the video? In the 20 minutes, you can not only admire the environment, the fights, and the enemies, but also get some general information about Path of Exile 2:
The act 2 of Path of Exile 2 will not be linear. Thus, there are 4 quests shown in the video that players can complete in any order.
Mobility seems to play a big role. The player has to dodge repeatedly to avoid dying. With the spear, there is a skill that allows one to jump into enemies and then jump back out again.
In general, various skills of spear and crossbow are presented.
The bosses in the game are supposed to become more varied and, for example, interact more strongly with their environment. In the gameplay, there was a miniboss who collapsed a cave. At the same time, sunlight enters the cave, marking safe spots in the fight.
Another major innovation compared to its predecessor is in the game’s gem system. Previously linked to armor pieces, this meant that one had to go to a town after getting a new armor drop to rearrange the sockets and adapt them to the current build.
In Path of Exile 2, they are now detached from the equipment.
How are the reactions to the gameplay? The official gameplay video has over 63,000 views after just 12 hours and has been commented on more than 600 times. The comments are mostly positive:
The user Seriöser Kanalname is particularly impressed by the graphics: “The visuals look stunning and the art style of PoE never disappoints. I especially love the contrast between the relatively muted desert background and the colorful spell effects and the blood.”
The user Guillaume BProg noticed a special detail: “Did anyone else notice that the UI and HUD reflect the different light effects? I’ve never seen this kind of detail in a game before. Very cute.”
Rhyas9 is pleased with the gameplay changes: “Skill gems that are tied to the character and not to items. The one change I’ve longed for all these years.”
A special highlight that users discovered on reddit is the permanent health point display for bosses. This is also received very positively by many.
Criticism is generally only aimed at the fact that the player character with the crossbow keeps shouting what kind of bolts he is using.

Path of Exile 2 is set to release in 2022 and will be strong competition for Diablo 4
What is Path of Exile 2 anyway? Path of Exile 2 is not a successor in the traditional sense, as it shares much content with its predecessor. It mainly expands the existing Path of Exile and overhauls many old game systems, including the equipment and classes.
The game is set to release in 2022, although there is still no exact release timeframe. Path of Exile 2 will be Free2Play.
Why is the game a competitor for Diablo 4? Path of Exile is known for its complex skill system and the many regular updates that the first part has received. In this, and in the fact that they are building on the first part, the head of Grinding Gear Games, Chris Wilson, sees a big advantage.
Especially the balancing, the design of the classes, and the mentioned skill system are already based on an existing game that has proven itself. Diablo 4, on the other hand, comes with completely new content that has not been tested as intensively.
With the new gameplay of Path of Exile 2, the developers have also shown that they can operate on a higher graphical level than was the case with the first part.
In Diablo 4, the new class Rogue was announced at the BlizzCon.
2022 could potentially see a showdown between the two games, even though it is still unclear when the release of Diablo 4 is planned. Both titles already launch with a certain fanbase and both are ambitious. For ARPG fans, this can only be a good thing.
However, for those who can’t wait until then, here on MeinMMO, you can find a long list of other action RPGs that you can play until the release of both titles: Games like Diablo – Here are 11 current alternatives.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The first alpha test of Diablo 2 Resurrected is underway for the first testers and we at MeinMMO have a special raffle for you.

The classes Amazon, Barbarian, and Sorceress are playable
The test will still include the old cinematics, with new ones planned
The test will not offer multiplayer content, even though it is also planned
Also note: The test will initially only take place on PC and not on consoles.
During the alpha, the developers mainly want to gather player feedback and test various features. Your progress will therefore not be transferred to later tests or the final game.
When does the alpha run? The alpha test for Diablo 2 Resurrected starts today at 4:00 PM German time. It will run throughout the weekend and end on Monday, April 12, at 7:00 PM. Some streamers have been allowed to play since April 8.

Season 14 of Destiny 2 is starting soon, and Bungie is now showing some harsh nerfs that you should prepare for. Hand cannons, shotguns, and swords are in for some changes.
What you should expect: Season 14, which is still unnamed, will start on May 11, 2021, in Destiny 2. The MMO shooter will receive new content as well as numerous balance adjustments. Bungie has now given a preview of some harsh nerfs that are in store for many of your favorite weapons.
Bungie wants to communicate the changes to swords, hand cannons, shotguns, and strong perks early, so you can prepare for them. They will talk about buffs in April that will also come in Season 14.
MeinMMO lists the most important nerfs. We explain why this is happening and why it’s the revenge of the weapon standby.
Why do we say nerf? When something is nerfed in a game, it becomes worse than it was before. This is supposed to relate to the toy weapons of the company NERF, which fire foam projectiles that do not harm anyone (via esports.com). After a nerf, players have safer (or less harmful) weapons or skills at their disposal. The opposite of a nerf is a buff. A buffed item is represented as stronger after the patch. This refers to the English word “to buff,” meaning “to polish something.”
Destiny 2 reveals the nerfs you will have to live with in Season 14
What happens to hand cannons: Guardians have preferred to run around with revolvers for years. Hand cannons are almost always meta in PvP. However, the dominant 120s are now getting nerfed:
The distance at which damage and aim assist reduction starts will be reduced by 2 to 4 meters (depending on range stat).
This effectively partially reverses the range buff that 120s received in “Beyond Light”.
The slowly firing 120s have only recently become meta, since their range was significantly increased in November 2020. Representatives like The Last Dollar, Igneous Hammer, or Storm have quickly risen to become some of the most popular primary weapons in PvP. One shot could take half of an opponent’s health, quickly ducking for cover, all from absurd distances – that is (or was) the playstyle of revolvers.
For the currently best 120, Guardians grind through a previously unpopular playlist:
Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm is a well-known figure in gaming and was previously active on the streaming platform Twitch. He has now written a book about his life. However, it does not appear on the New York Times bestseller list, even though it is supposedly sold out everywhere.
What is going on? Dr Disrespect released his memoirs “Violence. Speed. Momentum.” at the end of March. The streamer has been heavily promoting this book on social media, YouTube, and in his livestreams over the past few weeks, emphasizing the great interest in it.
However, the New York Times has published a new bestseller list for April. Dr Disrespect’s book is not among the top 15.
Therefore, the streamer suspects fraud and is expressing this on social media.

What does the streamer say? In a tweet, Dr Disrespect vents his anger. He claims that a new book in the top 15 bestsellers is one that has supposedly sold less than 5,000 copies. However, it is unclear which book this is, as there are four new titles added.
His memoirs are said to have been pre-ordered more often on the first day after the announcement than this mentioned book. According to the streamer, “millions” have shown interest in his memoirs, and the pre-orders are said to have skyrocketed.
Therefore, he referred to the New York Times as frauds.
Additionally, there was another tweet, which has since been deleted, in which Dr Disrespect claims that his book is said to have sold five times more than one of the new books in the top 15.
He apparently expected a spot on the bestseller list.
This tweet has since been deleted (Image source: Dexerto).
How successful were the sales really? It’s hard to estimate. What is certain is that Dr Disrespect has a very large community and many followers on social media:
More than 2 million accounts follow him on Twitter
He has 3.3 million subscribers on YouTube
He has slightly more than 300,000 followers on Facebook
For several months, the streamer has been promoting his book and referred to it in February as the “most anticipated book of the century”.
However, he is also not appearing on other bestseller lists, such as Amazon or Publishers Weekly.

Dr Disrespect complains and polarizes in his usual manner
Why is the fuss not surprising? Dr Disrespect is a character. He is known for his high production quality, his fits of rage, and the many running gags. The man behind it, Guy Beahm, is just playing a role.
Dr Disrespect is known for polarizing and provoking others. This time, it targeted the New York Times. This also brings him more publicity, which could boost the sales of the book, regardless of how much interest there has been so far.
What is the book even about? The book’s blurb already promises a crazy story about the life of Dr Disrespect, which will certainly contain some true stories, but also many “embellishments”.
Specifically, it is supposed to be about the creation of the character along with an “unprecedented look at his rise to streaming superstar.”
You can expect plenty of references and jokes aimed primarily at his viewers and which will likely be hard to understand if you’re not within the realm of YouTube, Twitch, or the Doctor himself.
However, there is still a big mystery surrounding Dr Disrespect. It revolves around his Twitch ban, which was enacted in 2020. Recently, there was a new hot rumor about the topic:
PlayStation has announced a new survival game exclusively for PlayStation 5. Abandoned is set to utilize the performance of the next-gen console and provide more immersion with the new DualSense controller. The game is set to release in 2021, and there is already a first trailer.
What kind of game is this? Abandoned is a story-driven shooter and survival simulation in first person, heavily focused on realism. The gameplay is intended to be slow and feel tactical, not fast like an action shooter.
Abandoned is being developed by Blue Box Game Studios, who previously tried their hand at horror games like The Haunting (via IGN). However, The Haunting is now being developed and published by another studio and is set to release on April 27 (via Steam).
Abandoned will be released in the fourth quarter of 2021 exclusively for PlayStation 5. A specific release date has not yet been announced.
What is it about? The story unfolds around the protagonist Jason Longfield, who wakes up alone in a forest and has to survive. You find out that you were kidnapped and are to be subjected to a “dark purpose,” which is not described in detail yet.
In an initial trailer, the narrator already tries to instill fear in the viewer. She suggests loneliness and helplessness, asking what one would do if one were to become prey and somehow has to survive. The stunning visuals enhance the immersion:

The actual gameplay has not been shown much yet. Game Director Hasan Kahraman promises, however, that a full gameplay video will be released “soon.”
“Realism through immersion”
What makes Abandoned special? Already in the trailer, it is apparent that Abandoned relies on visuals and stunning imagery. The environment is detailed and realistic. The scenes resemble a survival simulation more than an ordinary survival game.
The graphics are expected to be supported by the performance of the PS5. The motion capture is said to be playable in 4K resolution at 60 FPS. The developers want to ensure that “the environmental quality is as close to reality as possible.” Load screens are to be kept minimal.
Additionally, the developers want to take advantage of the new DualSense of PlayStation 5. Every interaction should be felt through the controller, such as when you are hit by a bullet.
When you pull the trigger, you should feel a difference between loaded and unloaded weapons. If you try to shoot while you are out of breath, aiming becomes less precise.
Is there a multiplayer? Currently, there is no information on whether Abandoned will be a purely single-player title or if it can also be played together in co-op or even against each other in multiplayer.
The first images featuring a single protagonist suggest it may be a solo title, although The Forest has a similar setting. The Forest can be played with friends, so it is also possible that Abandoned has a co-op mode as well.
The developers of Outriders have announced server maintenance for Thursday, April 8, 2021. Along with the announcement, they also revealed that the first major patch is coming. This patch is set to fix several bugs and issues – including a particularly nasty bug that can delete all equipment.
What kind of update is this? With the first major update for Outriders, numerous bugs that have caused problems since the launch on April 1 will be fixed. The main points in the update are:
This is the first real update. Previously, there were minor hotfixes that only addressed specific issues.
When will the update be released? The developers mention that the update is expected to be released “next week”, likely between April 12 and 16. Apparently, the patch will come for all platforms, but it is still unclear whether it will be released at the same time.
Another server maintenance took place today, on April 8, between 6:30 PM and 6:45 PM. However, this has no direct connection with the major update.
Server Maintenance and Patch Notes – What’s included in the upcoming update
What’s included in the update: The upcoming first major patch brings a number of bug fixes. We have summarized the most important ones for you here:
Stuttering when using DirectX 11 and 12 should disappear (PC)
Diverse crashes should no longer occur, such as in multiplayer, during the mission “A Bad Day” or at startup. Also, random crashes should be less frequent.
Crossplay will be re-enabled when all platforms have the same version.
Additionally, a bug that leads to equipment loss will be fixed or at least reduced. You can find the complete patch notes in the developers’ post (via Steam and reddit).
What exactly is this bug? Until recently, there was a bug that caused players to lose their entire inventory. This primarily occurred when they tried to join the lobbies of other players.
A crash then caused the entire inventory to vanish and the character was left naked. Even after some issues with co-op were resolved, it was advisable to still play solo during this time.
This issue is expected to be fixed with the update, and players who have lost their inventory will receive a restoration of all lost items. The restoration is set to take place in the coming weeks.
Balancing and Nerfs for Some Classes
These are the balancing adjustments: In addition to bug fixes, there will be new balancing. The repeatable gathering quests (Hunter, Bounty, and Historian) will no longer reward you with legendary items when completed multiple times.
There will also be adjustments to the classes. Many of the so-called “Bullet Builds” that rely on a skill that enhances shots will be nerfed. One of these builds is the Technomancer’s Pest Control build, which is considered top-tier. According to our readers on MeinMMO, these changes are apparently already live.
The Technomancer is currently apparently too strong.
Which classes are affected? According to the developers, especially Assassins and Technomancers have been able to gain significant advantages from the builds without having to invest much. This should now become more balanced, but it remains to be seen how strong the changes will be.
The devs emphasize that the balancing is managed by a separate team. Progress on working on the patch is not affected by balancing and does not influence the elimination of bugs.
Developers’ Apology Package for the Botched Launch
This gift you will receive: The developers also apologize in the patch notes for the problems at launch, especially for connection errors that often led to disconnects. For these problems, there is a gift for all affected players:
a legendary weapon (according to character level)
Titan (amount according to character level)
the emote “Frustration”, which cannot currently be obtained in any other way
Every player who played between March 31 and April 11 or lost their inventory due to a crash will receive such a package. The rewards will be credited to the character with the highest level.
What’s next? In the coming weeks and patches, further work will continue on the stability and connection for multiplayer. So you should soon finally be able to play properly with friends.
Until then, you can also try your new weapons from the apology package solo. If you are not satisfied with the weapon you received, you can also definitely obtain other legendaries:
In GTA Online, the event week changes every Thursday. In the next 7 days, you can secure a free car and earn another one through the lucky wheel.
This is what’s happening in the game: A new event week is currently running in GTA Online. This week comes with the sports car Tropos Rallye from the company Lampadati for free. It usually costs 816,000 GTA Dollars.
Additionally, as part of the event:
Free Jock Cranley suits
A new car at the podium
Extra bonuses for GTA$ in certain activities
Get your free sports car
Here’s how to get the Lampadati Tropos Rallye: The free car can be claimed by any player who logs in during the event time. Here’s what you need to do:
Visit “Travel and Transport”
Select the dealer “Southern San Andreas Super Autos”
You will find the car available for $0
You have until Wednesday, April 14, 2021, to do this. Additionally, tuning will still cost money afterwards.
You can currently get this car completely for free.
How good is the car? The Lampadati Tropos Rallye is a two-door sports car. Compared to other models, it is rather mediocre.
Its potential doesn’t necessarily lie on pure asphalt tracks, but its very precise handling makes it more suitable for off-road tracks. It’s not an absolute highlight, but still fun. This is also confirmed by players on reddit:
Swordwizzard1011 writes: “I’ve been waiting for a deal on this car for a long time. It’s even better now that I get it for $0.”
Classic-Display-4321 also uses it as a rally car: “I bought one a long time ago and went fully into rally style with it. If I get another one now, I might use a street build for it.”
AvengerAssembled is really satisfied with the Tropos Rallye: “Great little car. Brings me a lot of fun.”
However, the Tropos Rallye has a slight tendency to oversteer. You should keep this in mind if you want to take the car out.
What has changed at the podium: Along with the event week, the podium in the casino has also changed. Now, the Blista Kanjo is waiting for you as a reward. You get it if you land on the car field during the lucky wheel spin.
“Tame the Wild” is a challenge from Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6. This challenge is part of the Week 4 challenges and grants XP for your Battle Pass.
What kind of task is this? This task is one of the “Week 4” challenges in Fortnite Season 6. You need to tame wild animals on one occasion. Simply put, you need to tame a wild boar, a wolf, or a dino somewhere on the island. There are different ways to approach this, depending on what devices you have on hand. The first step is, of course, to find animals that can be tamed.
Where can you find wild animals?
At these locations, you should encounter wild animals
Dark blue markings indicate wolves
Orange markings indicate wild boars
Frogs and chickens cannot be tamed, so it doesn’t make sense to focus on these animals. Note that taming velociraptors is also possible, although their spawns are much more random than other animal species. The wild boar spawn in the southern pen of Colossal Crops is highly recommended for completing the task quickly.
What do you need to do? There are various techniques to tame wild animals. The easiest way is to wear a hunter cloak, which is made from a piece of meat and animal bones. Once you have this item in your possession, you just need to put on the cloak and approach the wild animals carefully to tame them.
You can also lure them with food. Wolves love fresh meat: If you throw something near them, you can easily tame them once they are attracted to it.
Wild boars love fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms. You can gather these foods from gardener boxes or in the wild and then throw them near the wild boars. Just like wolves, they will become tame.
