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:

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.
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

Eguana -> Elezard
Balgoras
Amarino -> Amagarga
Feelinara
Resladero
Dedenne
Viscora -> Viscargot -> Viscogon
Xerneas
Yveltal

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.
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.

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.
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.
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:

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

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.

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.
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.
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:
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.

The 3 best Inform cards in TOTW 28
We take a closer look at the players with the highest ratings in the current Team of the Week.
Lorenzo Insigne receives his 4th Inform card in FUT 21 this week. The shooting and passing stats have improved, making Insigne a very strong option on the left wing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.

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.
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:
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
Are you looking for games you can play for free on your PlayStation? Then check out this list:
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.
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.

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.
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.
Wizard with 643 votes (approximately 25 %)
Barbarian with 622 votes (approximately 25 %)
Demon Hunter with 356 votes (approximately 14 %)
Necromancer with 327 votes (approximately 13 %)
Crusader with 275 votes (approximately 11 %)
Monk with 159 votes (approximately 6 %)
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.
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.
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?

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.
If you are more interested in Fortnitethis might also interest you:
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.

Of all times, there were urgent maintenance works on the PlayStation version of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) during the anniversary event and Easter holidays. The developers apologize for this and announce compensations.
Why was there a longer downtime? Zenimax Online explains that a service issue occurred between ESO and the PlayStation Network, which caused the maintenance to be extended last Monday, April 5th.
Unfortunately, this happened during the birthday event of the MMORPG and on Easter Monday. Some ESO players on PS4 and PS5 wanted to take advantage of the anniversary bonus and the event.
Zenimax Online wanted to resolve the issue by reapplying the last patch, which involved a new certification by Sony. This was expected to take 48 hours. However, things turned out differently. Together with Sony, a faster solution was found.
The service could be adjusted and restarted, which solved the problem. Nevertheless, Easter Monday was lost for many players as the servers came back online late at night.
Zenimax apologized for this situation, as the issue was caused by them.

How are players reacting to the situation? When the longer downtime was announced, players expressed their frustration.
Denys Doroshev is very frustrated (via Twitter): “This really sucks. Especially for players with an ESO Plus subscription. After all, you pay monthly for it and have no access to the game weekly […]”
Michael Bryant says (via Twitter): “I understand that such problems can occur, but the past year has been really tough with the lost days. I hope Zenimax will do something about it.”
But there is also understanding for the situation.
eeri is quite satisfied with the compensation (via Twitter): “Thank you. That’s just fair, after everything that has happened.”
Dr. Megan Victor finds the apology okay (via Twitter): “Thank you for the apology and the compensation. I really appreciate it.”
Were you also affected by the ESO downtime on PS4 and PS5? What do you think of the compensation?
If you want to earn money quickly in ESO, you shouldn’t miss the birthday event. Because there are some interesting bonuses for you that will help you get rich quickly in the game.

The new co-op shooter Outriders has been available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Google Stadia for a few days now. The first reviews are coming in from sites like Steam and Metacritic. The reviews are generally positive, but they show how much the game divides the gaming community. It seems to be a matter of taste.
Here are the raw numbers of reviews for Outriders:
If you only look at the numbers, Outriders looks like a typical mid-range game:
On Steam, Outriders has “mixed reviews” – it currently holds 64% positive reviews.
However, the fact that Outriders has already received 17,730 reviews in such a short time shows what a commercial success the title is.
On Metacritic, the professional reviews are in the 70s range. The PC version of the game received 76% – players rate the PC version 6.0 out of 10.
The PS5 version of the game receives 77% from the gaming magazines listed on Metacritic, while users rate the PS5 version 68%.
Outriders: “Not revolutionary, doesn’t want to be”
The reviews on Metacritic in detail: The reviews on Metacritic paint the picture of a solid shooter that does only what it can and takes few risks.
As Game Informer (90%) states: “Outriders is not revolutionary and doesn’t want to be.” The game is a well-thought-out shooter with an RPG twist, crafted by professionals.
A Turkish review explains (70%), a weak point of Outriders is that you have to be “always online” to play it. Outriders needs to improve on the technical side but is brilliantly playable. Players painfully noticed the “Always online” issues at launch: Over Easter, Outriders had severe server issues.
The site “TheGamer” (70%) criticizes that the campaign is too long and the endgame too short.
The German gaming magazine GameStar certifies Outriders in a preview test that the shooter hooks players with a death dance and spectacular effects right in the first hours of gameplay. The magazine is holding back on a rating until a feel for the endgame is gained (via GameStar).
Cheap version of “Remnant from the Ashes” or picture-perfect loot shooter?
This is what user reviews on Steam say: The user reviews on Steam show how Outriders divides the player base.
A user with 52 hours in Outriders gripes: The game is not worth it for $60. He says:
New mobs are just old mobs with different colors. The gameplay mechanic is “Soft out or die.” Anyone expecting a cover shooter should stay away. Cover is not designed for the player but for the enemies.
Another user with 32 hours draws the comparison to the 2019 surprise hit “Remnant: From the Ashes” and says Outriders pales in comparison. It offers no interesting bosses and only boring weapons.
However, there are also those who rave about Outriders. A user with 60 hours says: Outriders is a loot shooter like out of a picture book. It has definite addiction potential. Anyone who likes loot shooters should get Outriders.
Especially in co-op, Outriders shines, writes another PC player on Steam: He played Outriders with 2 friends and enjoyed every single one of his 22 hours in the game.
Readers of MeinMMO love looting, leveling, and Outriders
This is the opinion on MeinMMO: The MeinMMO community loves looting, leveling, and shooters. Here, Outriders is received much better than in the rest of the gaming world.
In a recent survey , the majority of participating MeinMMO readers were convinced by Outriders. 57% labeled the shooter as “super,” while 24% rated it as “good.” The negative reviews only accounted for 9%.
In the comments, it becomes clear: The users of MeinMMO had low expectations of Outriders. These expectations were then exceeded. The finished game is significantly better than the demo.
For many, Outriders may not be the big hit, but in such a barren genre as “loot shooters”, it is a light at the end of the tunnel after 2 years.
