The hack and slash Torchlight 3 faced heavy criticism upon the launch of its Early Access phase on Steam. Now, a large update with a new story act is being released. We take a look at how the action RPG is doing now.
How did the launch of Torchlight 3 go?On June 13, the Early Access phase of the action RPG Torchlight 3 began. However, there was a lot of criticism. Some players found the combat system too slow, and the areas were deemed simple and linear. Players also felt that character development was not complex enough, and the game, according to some, seemed more like a mobile game.

Torchlight 3 introduces its new act in the trailer.
Steam reviews increase from 34% to 43%
How is the hack and slash doing now? The rating on Steaam has improved from an initial 34% to now 43%. While this is only a small increase, it seems to be slowly getting better. The aforementioned criticisms still apply to some players and are being discussed in the community, but there are increasingly more positive voices.
Mendokusai writes on Steam: “I can only recommend this game in its current state. But only because the developers listen to feedback. If you really want this game to turn into Torchlight 3 and be worthy of the name Torchlight, then buy it, play it, and give feedback. Help the game grow.”
Burntp0pcorn says: “I love the game. But I’ve never played another Torchlight before.”
Misty_Roses explains: “I think it’s overall a good game and will be in the end. But I would advise for now to save your money until it’s a bit more finished, and we see where the journey goes. That’s the only reason I’m giving it a thumbs down. I love the Torchlight series, even though this game is a bit rough. I hope it gets optimized in the future and that the developers fix all the issues the game has.”
The Voltura are new enemies in Act 3 of Torchlight 3.
How is the game evolving? Today, on June 30, a major update for Torchlight 3 is being released. This brings the third act with the new setting Echonok into the game.
The story continues. You will learn how things progress with Veriss, who carries the Heart of the Void and can merge the world of humans and Netherim.
You explore new locations and dungeons by visiting the ancient halls of the dwarves and searching for treasures.
You fight additional bosses and enemies, including the Voltura, a mix of birds and machines.
You collect valuable loot.
It will be interesting to see how the rating of Torchlight 3 changes after the release of the Third Act.
The update was huge and also introduced a new 200-player mode in Warzone. The patch had a maximum size of 39 GB.
You can now earn the new sniper in the game and then lie in wait. MeinMMO shows you how to get it here.
How to get the new sniper in Modern Warfare
What you need to do for the sniper: The Rytec AMR can only be obtained through 2 ways:
In Modern Warfare and Warzone, a challenge awaits you. If you complete this, you will receive the sniper rifle as a reward.
Alternatively, you can buy the blueprint in the in-game shop and unlock the weapon as well.
How to complete the challenge for the Rytec AMR
What is the task? As a challenge, you have “Get 3 quickscope kills with snipers or DMRs in 15 different matches.”
You need to go hunting with snipers or DMRs and collect quickscope kills. In total, you need to achieve 45 kills this way. So this task is not completed quickly.
You can find the progress for your unlock mission in the weapon tab under the sniper rifles when you select the Rytec.
How should one approach the task? You can choose between sniper rifles and DMRs here. So you have quite a large pool of weapons to choose from.
If you’re using a sniper, we recommend the AX-50. It is currently the best sniper rifle in Modern Warfare. It is also ideal for quickscoping.
If you prefer DMRs, we recommend the MK2 Carbine. It is the best weapon of this kind and very precise. However, this only applies to the multiplayer of MW 2019.
The AX-50 is a good choice to master the challenge.
Which scope should you choose? In multiplayer, it’s best to use a smaller scope for this. This way, you are also stronger at close range, and the likelihood of hitting an opponent is higher. Additionally, your scope speed increases.
What you need to consider: When choosing your weapon in multiplayer, you should ensure that you choose a rifle that can kill with the first shot. It would be unfortunate if you land a quickscope, but it isn’t lethal. Therefore, a sniper is better, but the MK2 Carbine is also deadly at almost any distance.
Remember that you not only need to get kills, but you also need to achieve them as quickscope kills. So, it doesn’t help to camp in one spot and look for enemies through your scope. Stay in motion and always look for opponents. If you have a good eye on him and feel you might hit directly, then aim briefly and take a shot. In our tips for aspiring snipers, you will find some pointers on how to aim quickly through the scope.
Use these modes and maps: A good variant to complete the challenge is the hardcore mode. Most hits are lethal there, and you can also use more mobile sniper weapons, such as the Dragunov.
We recommend smaller maps, such as Shipment or Shoot House. They are tight, and you can more easily get a kill.
In Warzone, the task is significantly more difficult. Choose a mode with respawn, such as “Plunder”, and try your luck here.
How to buy the Rytec AMR in the shop
This is now available in the shop: In the in-game shop of Modern Warfare, you can currently buy a bundle called “Lost Souls”. This includes the new sniper among other things.
This bundle is currently available for purchase in the shop.
Inside is the blueprint “Damnation”. This is a special version of the Rytec AMR. The bundle costs 1,200 CoD points – equivalent to about 12 euros.
If you invest the 12 euros, you can use the sniper directly. Players report, however, that there is only the weapon’s blueprint. The normal sniper is not available this way.
The seasonal model and the power level grind of Destiny 2 simply do not harmonize, says MeinMMO shooter expert Sven Galitzki. At least for the seasons, a different solution would be appropriate in his eyes.
This is how I see the power level system currently: Season after season, expansion after expansion, the level cap goes up and Bungie keeps making Guardians grind for new power levels.
However, while the power or light level was once an expression of the Guardians’ power, the system has now become a cumbersome, almost pointless accessory and an artificial barrier, simply to stretch out or delay access to certain content – especially with the seasonal model. This became especially clear to me in Season 11.
What are the problems with the power level? The biggest problem in my view is that the power level currently serves almost no real purpose except to set an artificial barrier to certain activities.
The hunt for power level continues in Season 11
No matter how high you level, once you overcome a certain level barrier for specific activities, it essentially makes no difference how much further you push your power level – even though you can level it infinitely with the artifact.
There is also no sense of power or dominance. Even if I am several power levels above an activity, everything is scaled. The experience in strikes, Gambit, or old raids remains the same – regardless of whether I approach them with a power level of 750, 900, or 1080.
Unfortunately, really stomping through and feeling powerful and over-leveled is not possible, even though I would expect exactly that as a reward for my regular effort with a higher power level.
The super feels powerful. But our Guardians do it only rarely – even with a high power level.
Why the power grind fits well with DLCs – but not with seasons: In larger DLCs, the grind for power takes a back seat and somehow fits the setting.
We might run new strikes, new missions, enjoy ourselves on new multiplayer maps, or indulge in other new activities. Throughout this, we level up passively, become stronger, and prepare for new high-level activities like a raid. All of this while we enjoy new content. There is not really much to criticize about it. But this is where I see the big difference.
In the seasons, we are essentially doing the same. However, in old content. The seasonal power level grind constantly runs us through activities that we have also played in the seasons since the last expansion. And for what? So we can finally enjoy the few new and truly exciting contents like the new dungeon “Prophecy”, as in the current Season 11.
The new dungeon “Prophecy”
To effectively tackle this really well-done activity, you should be around power level 1040. And that is not something you can quickly achieve – especially if you cannot play for 8 hours every day. As a result, some players will see this excellently crafted dungeon only late due to this artificial hurdle – even though it will first disappear with the new expansion Beyond Light in the fall for now.
For beginners, this may not be such a noticeable problem. However, once you have a few seasons under your belt, as a veteran, you could definitely feel frustrated.
In short: While the power grind at the start of larger expansions or DLCs still fits reasonably well into the game and the context, during the seasons it is simply bland, very repetitive, and almost lazy from a gameplay perspective. The path to the “endgame” is thereby significantly more annoying and monotonous in the seasons. Additionally, you are artificially excluded from exactly the content you want to play.
Not everything is bad about the seasonal system. However, the power level system in its current state simply does not fit with it and feels more demotivating than promoting.
In DLCs like Warmind, the power grind felt different.
What improvements could be made to the power level system? The most important thing in my opinion would be to give the power level and the associated grind real meaning. That may sound trivial at first, but it’s exactly what the system lacks at its core.
If I could stomp through “older” content with a higher power level like an immortal god and truly feel powerful while doing so – even that alone should be very motivating for many Guardians.
Moreover, I do not necessarily have to collect top loot. But if I could access missing and interesting armor pieces from an old raid, dungeon, or the Menagerie, the power grind would already be much more attractive. This way, many things could be easier to catch up on, which you previously missed out on and for which it is no longer easy to find enough players.
Would you also like to rush through the heroic Menagerie with a power level of 1080?
Even when I eventually reach max power level and have driven my seasonal levels far beyond all new activity requirements with the help of the artifact, it would be cool if I could also power through the latest contents as an OP Guardian with 1-2 friends. Because that’s what you are leveling for, right?
Many would appreciate content for which a power grind is actually worthwhile. Through noticeable level differences and the possibility of being able to become OP (in older content faster, in current content only with a lot of effort), I believe this could be achieved quite easily without making the latest high level content obsolete.
Conclusion: Destiny 2 should really start considering improving the power level system – at least in the seasons. Because these will remain a fixed part of Destiny 2 for the foreseeable future, and it is especially there that the weaknesses of the system are most noticeable.
And after numerous conversations with many veterans who are still actively playing or have already dropped out, it has become very clear to me: this is what annoys many players a lot and is often responsible for players quitting Destiny 2 or taking breaks.
Moreover, some note that it is not exactly helpful for re-entry when one returns after a break and immediately encounters the monotonous and essentially pointless artificial power grind without a real goal. This can quickly dampen a Guardian’s desire to play.
In FIFA 20, the new Title Update 19 brings a long-awaited feature to Ultimate Team, providing more order in the chaos of special cards.The special card filter is finally here.
When will the update be released? The new patch has already been released for PC today, June 30, 2020. A release for Playstation 4 and Xbox One is expected in the coming days.
Patch Notes: What does the update bring?
What’s new: With the new Title Update, a function is introduced in Ultimate Team mode that FIFA fans have been waiting for years:
A filter for the numerous special cards in Ultimate Team. This is now indeed a reality and will soon be made available to all players by EA.
What can the new filter do? In the patch notes for the new Title Update 19, it is described that with the new “Special Quality Filter” the following is possible:
Searching for the exact card type (TOTY, TOTS, TOTW, FUT Birthday, etc.)
The filter can be used in the transfer market as well as within your own club
What was the problem: Finding certain special cards on the transfer market has often been quite a challenge in previous FUT editions. Without a filter, you could only search by player name and select that you are looking for a special card. There was no filter for the various special cards.
Finally, the desired card can be specifically found
What else does the patch bring? Otherwise, there isn’t much in the new Title Update. A small display bug in price comparison on the FUT transfer market has been fixed.
The FIFA fans can hardly believe it
This is what the community says: There is great astonishment on reddit (via reddit) about the release of this long-awaited feature. Especially because it has appeared in FIFA 20 and not in FIFA 21.
Here are some voices:
I can’t believe they finally added the special item filter after over 10 years.
The technology seems to finally be here
Wow, I didn’t expect this in FIFA 20, especially not in FIFA 21
A bit late, EA
I can’t believe how long they took for this. I’ve been waiting since FIFA 13
But there is definitely joy here, as the new filter should make FUT life much more enjoyable. We are curious to see what features and innovations await us in FIFA 21.

However, Blizzard is being criticized for this. Swifty is receiving support from the community, the allegations are being questioned, and it is criticized that Blizzard acted hastily:
This is what the leader says: The founder of the guild, Scott “Sco” McMillan, addressed the fans in a statement. He says that Method has disappointed the fans and he has disappointed them. He will have to live with that now.

He explains that Josh repeatedly assured them that the accusations were unfounded. They believed him. In retrospect, McMillan says, they simply buried their heads in the sand.
He says the player informed them that a police investigation was ongoing against him, but convinced the guild that it was unfounded. When he later proved that the investigation had been closed, Method took it as evidence that Josh was in the right and even advocated for him to be able to stream on Twitch again.
After the allegations in June, Method realized that there was no excuse for its behavior and expelled Josh. McMillan speaks of recognizing “the full extent of his depravity.”
McMillan says he will take time to think about his future and the future of Method.
People trusted him, he disappointed them; he will never forgive himself for that.
His NPCs were removed from WoW.
The popular WoW streamer Swifty has also come under fire. Blizzard reacted by removing 2 NPCs associated with him from the game.
However, Blizzard is being criticized for this. Swifty is receiving support from the community, the allegations are being questioned, and it is criticized that Blizzard acted hastily:
The Guild Method was considered the flagship PvE guild in World of Warcraft. Now dozens of players, streamers, and key leaders are leaving the guild. The leader Scott “Sco” McMillian takes responsibility and says he disappointed the fans and failed. They buried their heads in the sand and believed the wrong people.
This is Method: The guild Method was founded in 2005 by Scott McMillan. The guild focused on competitive raiding, competing with other top PvE guilds for World Firsts.
Method has long been considered the “leading guild” in WoW and has just begun to broaden its scope and expand. Recently, they parted ways with partner Red Bull to take over the marketing of World First kills themselves in the future.
Accusation: Inactivity Against Guild Member
This is why the guild is breaking apart: Method is accused of doing too little against the player MethodJosh. The player has now been accused by 8 different women via social media of sexual assault.
The accusations go as far as an alleged rape, for which MethodJosh was apparently banned from Twitch in 2019. The player even informed Method that a police investigation was ongoing against him.

The streamer Poopernoodle recounts an alleged rape.
Method has now excluded the player after the allegations, but that has been seen as insufficient by many members and partners. The consensus is that the guild should have acted against the player sooner and more decisively.
Numerous members, sponsors, and partners of Method no longer want to be associated with the guild and are severing their ties.
The guild Method is in dissolution.
More than 50 Farewell Messages from Method
This is what’s happening at Method: In a reddit thread, all departures from Method in recent days are listed (via reddit). It’s a long, long list of tweets and farewell messages. In total, over 50 of these messages accumulate:
The WoW streamer Esfand is leaving, along with many other casters, streamers, figureheads, and content creators
The top teams in EU-PvP and NA-PvP are already gone
Even the “Dungeon” team is gradually disappearing from Method
In addition, numerous pro-players from Method’s raid team are withdrawing
Sponsors like Corsair or MSI are severing their connections
Executives who were still trying to hold the organization together, like the general manager, have left the guild
Blizzard states in a statement that it does not work with Method and will not do so in the future (via PC Gamer).
Even a boosting community distances itself from the guild.
This is what the leader says: The founder of the guild, Scott “Sco” McMillan, addressed the fans in a statement. He says that Method has disappointed the fans and he has disappointed them. He will have to live with that now.

The MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria (CoE) might still be released. The development studio is restarting communication with the players and plans to further develop the online game with the help of fans.
What did the developers announce? The current update states that the forums of the MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria are reopening. For now, they are only open for reading and without the criticism that has poured in since March 24th, following the announcement of the game’s cancellation.
Additionally, players can once again view their purchases, and the development of the MMORPG is now to continue transparently. Furthermore, every backer is allowed to play the released pre-alpha course demo.
The MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria is actually supposed to be released.
Chronicles of Elyria is really supposed to be released
In recent months, we had to take stock during our ongoing discussions about the best way to deliver Chronicles of Elyria to you and revisit our previous progress in the game. Many tasks are already completed, but CoE is not yet ready for release.
Since we want you to be involved in this process, we decided to start a series of video contributions in which we discuss the state of development and can show you – what has been done, what still needs to be done, and what we need to improve before the game is ready for release; we also want to present our plans for the way forward. We will announce when it starts soon.
Jeromy Walsh, founder of Soulbound Studios
What does this mean? The development of Chronicles of Elyria continues. According to Jeromy Walsh’s statement, the MMORPG is definitely supposed to be released, but there is still a lot to be done.
Wasn’t the studio facing closure? In March, Soulbound Studios had to announce that all employees were laid off. At that time, it was stated that it was uncertain whether or when Elyria would reappear.
This led to a lot of criticism from the community. Players even demanded refunds, as some had spent thousands of dollars to retain their own kingdoms in the game.
Since Kickstarter’s terms of service stipulate that a developer studio must fulfill its part of the agreement and deliver a product, refunds would likely have been possible. However, there are currently some issues with these.
Now the studio is somewhat reversing its stance and explains that development on Chronicles of Elyria continued. It was apparently a misunderstanding. The MMORPG is supposed to be released.

This is what Chronicles of Elyria is supposed to look like.
MeinMMO author Andreas Bertits says: The situation naturally gives the impression that refunds are not possible for financial reasons. After all, it was said that Soulbound Studios had to close because there was no money left. So where would they get the funds to pay the refunds?
Now that work is continuing on the MMORPG, there is a chance that a product will be released. That’s why the demands for refunds might fall flat for now. Currently, it looks like Chronicles of Elyria is too broke to die.
We will soon see if work on CoE is indeed continuing and maybe an MMORPG is finally created.
Update 13.20 in Fortnite is here and brings a new weapon, a portable upgrade bench, a secret skin, and some bug fixes.
The patch notes for the Battle Royale mode in Fortnite have not been released by Epic Games. However, we summarize the biggest changes that have been noticed so far.
The Flare Gun is now here
What’s new? A new weapon was added with update 13.20. This is the flare gun, which was seen last year in the block party trailer of Fortnite. (via YouTube)
The weapon holds 6 shots in a magazine and behaves similarly to the new firefly grenades. They trigger a fire in their vicinity and cause damage to players.
Here you can see how the new weapon behaves in the game:

You can now carry upgrade benches in your bag
A Hero Comes to Fortnite
What is meant? In an email that Epic sent to content creators, they informed them about update 13.20. It was listed that a hero will soon be coming to Fortnite. (via Twitter)
Dataminers have found the name Captain America in the data and now suspect that this hero is indeed the Captain. The item shop will also reset at 3:00 PM. So the mysterious skin might appear then.
Is Captain America the mysterious hero coming to Fortnite?
Bug Fixes
What bugs were fixed? In addition to the new things brought by update 13.20, there are also several bugs that Epic has fixed, such as:
Players no longer take fall damage when jumping from ziplines into shallow water
Epic and legendary submachine guns can now be reloaded again
Chug Splashes should now heal again, even when thrown into bushes
Supply drops no longer push the contained loot under the map
You can find all other bugs that were fixed in the Fortnite Trello.

It includes a new hero, a weapon schematic, a back accessory, challenges with V-Bucks rewards, and access to the Save the World mode. The package costs €19.99.
These are the contents of the Metal Overseer package
This update already brought a new weapon into play, but there is another weapon that might be coming soon. Dataminers have already found some information about it. However, when this weapon will arrive is still unclear. We have summarized the found information about the new dragon shotgun that was leaked.

Today, on June 30th, maintenance for The Division 2 is taking place on PS4, Xbox One, and PC – including a multi-hour server downtime. This is preparing for the launch of the new raid Operation: Iron Horse. When is the downtime? And what is in the patch notes?
Update 11:25 AM: The maintenance was completed earlier than planned today. You can get started and look forward to the raid launch this evening. Good loot, Agents!

What is this update about? After Title Update 10 and the new Season 2 have already started in June, another highlight launches at the end of the month – the new raid.
But before Operation: Iron Horse opens its gates for the agents this evening, there is maintenance that brings the new content into the game. We summarize the most important points for you.
All Important Information About the Maintenance on June 30
These times are important today: According to Massive, today’s maintenance is scheduled as follows:
The maintenance work is set to begin at 9:30 AM German time
The downtime will also begin immediately, the servers will go offline
The estimated duration of maintenance is stated to be 3 hours. During this time, you cannot play The Division 2.
If no unexpected problems or difficulties occur, the servers are expected to be back online around 12:30 PM German time.
This will conclude today’s maintenance.
However, please note: This timeline may change throughout the maintenance, and some times (especially the end of the maintenance) may shift. This has happened occasionally over the last weeks and months. If anything changes in today’s schedule, we will update this article accordingly.
The Patch Notes for Maintenance on June 30
What is changing? The patch notes this time are quite straightforward. The main concern of the maintenance is apparently the preparation for the launch of the new raid:
A problem has been fixed that prevented the doors from opening during the “Break through the Black Tusk Forces” task in the “DARPA Research Laboratory” mission
Brings the new raid Operation: Iron Horse into the game, which will then launch today at 6:00 PM German time
Additional changes or fixes are apparently not planned for today.

Operation: Iron Horse is a new top-tier activity for PvE and the 2nd raid of The Division 2. Originally, it was supposed to be released in October 2019 but was postponed due to issues in the game. Now the 2nd raid starts today, June 30th, at 6:00 PM.
Since Operation: Iron Horse is essentially leftover content from year 1, neither the Warlords expansion nor the year 1 pass is required to take on the raid. It is therefore free and accessible to all players.
However, today, the level 40 version for owners of Warlords of New York launches first. The level 30 version for owners of the base game is expected to follow next week.
Hyper Scape could be a new free-to-play FPS battle royale. Ubisoft will present the title this week. Insiders have already revealed what the game is about and that the Twitch chat plays a role.
Where does the information come from? It seems that Ubisoft wants to enter the free battle royale shooter market with its own title. Similar to Apex Legends or Warzone, the developers could now announce such a title with Hyper Scape.
Details about the game come from eSports reporter Rod Breslau, who cites anonymous sources. Shortly after his “leak”, Ubisoft also released the first teasers for Hyper Scape.
What will Hyper Scape be?
This is what the leaks say: Ubisoft Montreal, the developers of Rainbow Six: Siege, are working on the new title “Hyper Scape”. A battle royale with fast-paced gameplay and integration through livestreams.
On Twitter, Rod Breslau states, “Hyper Scape is a free-to-play battle royale FPS set in a futuristic virtual world and will be released for PC and consoles.” Breslau cites unnamed sources.
When will the game be released? On July 12, during the “Ubisoft Forward” event, the game is expected to be presented and launched.
“Hyper Scape goes into closed beta next week,” writes Breslau. An open beta is also supposed to follow.

Hyper Scape is said to have been developed in full partnership with Twitch. It is said to have strong integration with the Twitch chat, “like you have never seen in a big game before”.
This also includes that streamers receive a share of the money when viewers purchase the bit currency of the Twitch platform during a Hyper Scape stream.
What does Ubisoft officially say about Hyper Scape?
These are the first teasers: On the evening of June 29, the website “Prismadimensions.com” went live. It mainly focuses on lore and background of Hyper Scape. It is mentioned that a presentation is scheduled for July 2. Probably the first official trailer?
Here at Prisma Dimensions, we can’t wait to present to you the first iteration of Hyper Scape on July 2 – along with the action-packed excitement of the Crown Hunt! Get ready to traverse the neon-lit streets of the world’s first virtual city: Neo Arcadia. Make sure you’re all set right from the start, as you’ll need every possible advantage to stay one step ahead of your challengers. Only the best make it to the grand finale. Will you claim victory or fall victim to the dangers of Hyper Scape?

The heroes of World of Warcraft are in danger. Four great leaders are kidnapped and taken away at the start of Shadowlands.
In the upcoming expansion Shadowlands, the champions of World of Warcraft head to the eponymous Shadowlands. But how exactly the entrance there plays out was not so clear – until now. Meanwhile, it is possible to play the intro on the alpha server and experience what Sylvanas is doing and what happens to the leaders of the Alliance and Horde.
Spoiler warning: This article deals with the intro and the story at the beginning of Shadowlands. You have been warned. The shown screenshots are from wowhead.
Right at the beginning, we are called to Icecrown. There, the fortress of the Death Knights, Acherus, is located. The events from the Shadowlands cinematic have already taken place, Sylvanas has destroyed the Crown of Domination, and Bolvar is recovering from these consequences.
However, in the background, Sylvanas has apparently done much more. Several important leaders of the Horde and Alliance have been kidnapped by her. Among them are Anduin Wrynn, Jaina Proudmoore, Baine Bloodhoof, and also Thrall.
Bolvar and the destroyed helmet.
At the top of Icecrown, the remaining leaders of the Horde and Alliance along with the Death Knights discuss a plan. They agree that they must rescue the leaders but do not want to risk the remaining leaders. Only Tyrande is angry about this decision and wants to seize every opportunity to follow the Banshee Queen and finally take her down.
The portal to the Shadowlands is opened.
Bolvar explains that Sylvanas became easily connected to this through the destruction of the helmet of domination. It is therefore possible to use the fragments of the helmet to locate the Banshee Queen.
As the Death Knights of the Ebon Blade already have experience with the Shadowlands, they volunteer for this mission, along with the player. It is made very clear that this will likely be a “one-way trip” – a return cannot be guaranteed. We enter the Maw – and Tyrande storms in as well.
Upon arriving in the Maw, players quickly encounter Darion Mograine of the Ebon Blade, but Tyrande is missing. Apparently, people were teleported to different locations.
It doesn’t take long before we find signs of other allies. Many servants of the Maw are frozen or pierced by frost bolts – a clear indication for Lady Jaina, who we find shortly after. She is trying to find a way out of the Maw but has repeatedly failed and always found herself in chains. Time and again, she has fled and tried to explore this place.
Jaina has left a pretty clear trail.
A short time later, we also encounter Thrall, who is also trying to escape. He reports similar things, but explains that something is going wrong in the Maw. Instead of housing only the darkest souls, many noble souls are disappearing into the Maw and being tortured until they are broken and become servants of the Jailer.
Visions of the Jailer, the Master of the Maw.
With the help of the Death Knights, an attempt is made to get one of the souls to speak in order to discover a possible escape option. While the Death Knights try this, the rest of the group searches for King Anduin. He is also in chains and is currently being mocked by Sylvanas. A cinematic is supposed to play here, but it is not yet included in the game.
After a longer battle, Jaina and the player rescue Anduin from the chains and return to the Death Knights. Meanwhile, they have succeeded in discovering that there used to be a way out of the Maw at a waystone – but it has long since gone dark.
Anduin in chains – mocked by Sylvanas.
The Escape from the Maw
On the way to the darkened waystone, the group crosses a river of souls and is attacked and thrown into the river by none other than Helya. This is followed by another (not yet implemented) cinematic, and we get a first glimpse of the Jailer. He is currently working on Baine Bloodhoof’s soul, which is almost broken. However, it is possible to save Baine at the last second.
Helya makes a brief appearance and throws everyone into the water.
The group continues to fight against the Jailer’s armies and makes their way to the waystone. It seems to react directly – but not to Jaina, Thrall, or the others, but specifically to the player character. What this means and why such an ancient relic reacts specifically to the hero is not explained at this point.
While the waystone is charging, a final great battle ensues. The Jailer sends all his troops to recapture the characters. However, he does not succeed, and thus everyone escapes through the portal. The Jailer screams that “Death seeks the soul of your world” – he apparently wants to “kill” Azeroth. Why he wants this and why Sylvanas is on his side is also left unanswered.
The waystone reacts primarily to the player.
It ends with the arrival of all characters in Oribos, the central city in the Shadowlands. Here sits the Arbiter, who has so far categorized the souls into different realms of the Shadowlands. Later, the player will be sent from here to the first quest zone, Bastion.
What does the intro mean for the story?
By the end of the quest, players no longer encounter Tyrande, although everyone is on the lookout for her. Where exactly the leader of the Night Elves is now is unclear.
Time works differently in Shadowlands: One detail from the intro experience is particularly interesting and supports many theories currently surrounding Shadowlands, especially regarding a possible time jump.
Although Jaina, Anduin, Thrall, and Baine were only trapped in the Maw for a short time, they apparently experienced it differently. Thrall and Jaina tell that they have already escaped from the Jailer “countless times” and always found themselves in cages. It seems as though they have spent a lot of time here, even though they have only recently disappeared in Azeroth.
How do you like the story of the intro? Is it enough to draw people into the exciting world of Shadowlands? Or would you have wished for something different?

In Pokémon GO the Spotlight Hour with Zirpurze starts this evening, June 30th. There is an important candy bonus to go along with it.
What is a Spotlight Hour? This event series takes place every Tuesday in Pokémon GO. For exactly one hour, a Pokémon is highlighted and appears everywhere. A suitable bonus rounds it off.
When does the event start? It starts today at 6:00 PM local time. The event lasts until 7:00 PM. After that, the spawns will return to normal.
What bonuses are there? The biggest bonus is that Zirpurze will appear everywhere. The spawns are massively increased.
Additionally, there are double candies when catching Pokémon. So you can earn at least 6 candies per Pokémon.
Are there Shiny Zirpurze? No, the Pokémon cannot be found as Shiny. Some trainers had hoped that it would be introduced as Shiny during the event, but that is not the case.
So the hunt for the Pokémon is not really worthwhile. In battle, it is useless, and without a Shiny form, it may not be interesting to many trainers.
What trainers are reporting: The event has already started in New Zealand. Many players report on reddit that they do not receive double candies.
There seems to be an error here. It remains to be seen whether Niantic has fixed this bug by 6:00 PM German time tonight.
What’s next? Currently, this is the last known Spotlight Hour. Events for July have not been released yet.
In July, however, there is an Event Marathon waiting for us. Until the GO Fest 2020, we must complete numerous tasks and tackle special research so that we can catch strong Pokémon at the GO Fest.

The Intrepid Studios talked about housing in the MMORPG Ashes of Creation during a livestream. It offers some special features.
How do you get a house? Each settlement offers plots depending on its size and level of development. You can claim these and build a house there as long as you have the necessary money.
If the settlement continues to grow, for example into a village, town, or metropolis, more building plots for houses will be added. Additionally, it is possible to expand already built houses depending on the status of the settlement.
In a city, there are larger and more luxurious buildings than in a small village.

Storage: You must build containers and place them for item storage. Different levels of storage offer varying storage capacity.
Furnishing: The houses offer you a different number of placeable decorative items that you can set up in the house.
Sell: You can also sell a house, but not the plot.
Gathering: Each house offers you different possibilities for gatherings. So you cannot use every house for large guild meetings, for example.
Destructible: Some houses can be destroyed during sieges.
Size: There are houses of different sizes that offer more space for storage and decoration as well as for gatherings, depending on the size of the settlement. From a small house in a village to a large villa in a metropolis.
What do houses cost in Ashes of Creation? There will be an initially set price. This depends on how many citizens live in the settlement. The more citizens there are, the higher the price. If you want to sell houses, you set the price yourself.
What happens if a house is destroyed during a siege? Only the house will be destroyed, but you will keep your decorations and the items you stored in it. The house can be rebuilt.
Do players have to upgrade their house as the settlement grows? No. You can, of course, switch to a larger building. However, it is possible to keep your old one.
What happens if two players争 for a house? In that case, an auction can start, where the highest bidder wins.
Only one player can own a house. Others can participate in financing if they are okay with only one being the owner. The other players are invited and allowed to do certain things in the house, such as placing decorative items, taking items from storage, and so on. Permissions will be granted for everything.
You can decorate your house in Ashes of Creation and use it as a storage place.
MeinMMO author Andreas Bertits thinks about housing: Ashes of Creation seems to be getting a very well thought out and interesting housing system. The fact that houses can grow with the settlement is fascinating and somewhat reminiscent of building games.
It also makes sense that houses can be destroyed during sieges. However, if this happens too often, it might be frustrating to have to rebuild the building repeatedly. We should wait and see how this works.
Anyone who is into housing in MMORPGs will apparently get a very robust system in Ashes of Creation, which does not take center stage in the player experience but still offers good features to make use of the system.

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare & Warzone the Mid-Season Update went live. “Season 4 Reloaded” brings unusually many adjustments for the weapons. Included is also the expected nerf of the Grau 5.56. MeinMMO summarizes the most important buffs & nerfs.
What did the Mid-Season Update bring? On June 30 at 8 AM our time, the big “Season 4 Reloaded” patch came and brought many changes to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & the Battle Royale Warzone:
New Warzone modes (e.g. 200-player mode)
New Multiplayer map
New sniper weapon
Massive weapon adjustments
Here you can find more about the modes and the fresh content. This article will now focus on the balance adjustments for the weapons. Because there is quite a bit to report on the weapon front. The strong meta weapons Grau 5.56 and MP5 have to deal with a nerf. Otherwise, there were nearly only buffs. MeinMMO summarizes the most important adjustments for you.
Update 1.23 on June 30 changes 15 weapons – Patch Notes
In total, the update specifically names 15 weapons that were adjusted. Thus, it is the largest adjustment of weapon balance since the launch of CoD MW in October last year. However, the changes also affect more weapons, as the attachment “no stock” has also been adjusted, which is available for many weapons.
Nerf of the Grau 5.56 and MP5
The most important adjustments are the changes to the meta weapons Grau and MP5. Both are likely to perform worse at longer distances now, and other weapons may soon come into focus:
Reduced damage at long distances with 10mm ammunition
Slight recoil reduction with 10mm ammunition
For the MP5, this is already the second nerf since the release. Whether the MP will withstand this adjustment as well as the first remains to be seen. However, with the nerfs of both weapons, the developers at Infinity Ward are responding to the wishes of many players who requested changes in this regard. Here are some current replacement setups for the Grau 5.56.
The Grau was considered the strongest weapon in the Warzone before the update. MeinMMO celebrated its possible farewell with some “Good Bye”-setups.
Sniper adjustments could have a big impact
These two prominent weapons are just a small part of the balance package. Also alongside, there are some innovations that could disrupt the weapon choice in the shooter. Above all with the sniper rifles:
AX-50 – Sniper Rifle
Increased damage range
HDR – Sniper Rifle
Guaranteed one-hit even with deep torso hits
Still unclear whether this applies to Warzone & MW
Also with the DMR Kar 98k, which is often used as a sniper in Warzone, there were changes:
Kar 98k – DMR
Increased ADS speed
Better hip-fire
Increased damage range
Together with the release of the new sniper rifle “Rytec AMR”, quite a bit could change with the strong sniper weapons with one-shot potential.
Due to the adjustments and the new sniper rifle, the hierarchy of the big weapons could be disrupted.
Comprehensive weapon adjustments, especially regarding ammunition capacity
The most important points would thus be covered, but there are still a number of smaller adjustments that should not be neglected:
Starting ammunition / maximum ammunition increased
CR-56 AMAX with M67 clip
SKS 10-round magazine
Striker 45 hollow point ammunition
Scar standard clip and 25-round magazines
Oden standard clip and 25-round magazines
M4A1 with .458 SOCOM ammunition
It will be exciting to see how the adjusted amount of ammunition affects the playability of the weapons. Especially in Warzone, large magazines and a lot of ammunition in reserve are important to maintain pressure or take down multiple enemies with armor plates at once. But that’s not all:
It will take some time to see if the important weapons MP5 and Grau have now really been weakened enough to reduce their usage rates. The Season 4 weapon CR-56 AMAX was considered a possible contender for the Warzone throne before the patch but also received a nerf.
How the adjustments will affect gameplay remains to be seen. Likewise, whether we will see any of the crazy map changes in Warzone that leakers have already found in the data.

In Destiny 2, the first Iron Banner of the Season of Arrival is now just around the corner – with some new features. We also show when exactly the PvP event will take place and what loot you can earn there.
Today is the day: Lord Saladin will visit the Tower for the first time in Season 11 and kick off the first Iron Banner of the Season of Arrival. For one week, players will then have the chance to have fun in PvP under the watchful eyes of the Iron Lord and measure their Light against other Guardians.
When does the 1st Iron Banner of Season 11 start? It begins with the Weekly Reset on Tuesday, June 30, at 7:00 PM. Until the weekly reset on July 7, you have time to make your way through the Crucible as part of this PvP event and grab the event-specific rewards. Control is likely to be the active mode.
By the way, throughout the entire Iron Banner week, there will be a bonus on valor. A great opportunity to push your rank and earn additional rewards.
Lord Saladin
What’s changing with Iron Banner in Season 11
The Loot: The Iron Banner loot for Season 11 is not really new. It consists mainly of returning weapons and armor pieces.
The “Iron Fellowship” armor sets from Season 5 are returning for all 3 classes – with a new look. However, you won’t have to complete a quest to obtain them; you can get them as drops or earn them through rank increases with Saladin.
Furthermore, the weapon pool will consist of 8 firearms:
The Forward Path – Auto Rifle
The Fool’s Remedy – Hand Cannon
Radiant Breach – Rocket Launcher
Ravenous – Grenade Launcher (with the best in the power slot)
Eagle Claw – Scout Rifle
Foxbite – Sniper
Orewings Hammer – Grenade Launcher (special slot)
Crimil’s Dagger – Hand Cannon
All of these 8 Iron Banner weapons will come this time with the maximum cap from the Season of Arrival. They will reach a maximum power level of 1,360 and will remain useful in Year 4 until they are then “retired” in Season 15.
New Perks: The Auto Rifle The Forward Path and the Hand Cannon The Fool’s Remedy have been reintroduced for the Season 11 Iron Banner and can now roll with new, Iron Banner-specific perks.
For The Forward Path, it’s the perk Iron Gaze. It greatly improves target acquisition at the cost of range.
For The Fool’s Remedy, it’s the perk Iron Grip. It significantly improves stability at the cost of reload speed.
For these two weapons, you first need to complete a short introductory quest.
The matchmaking: In Season 11, the skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) was also disabled in Iron Banner. This means your skill and stats do not influence which opponents you face in Iron Banner.
With this, Bungie aims to bring more fun to the PvP of Destiny 2. There should be shorter waiting times before matches, improved connection quality ensured, and above all a more relaxed and carefree experience. Guardians should not always feel like they have to “sweat” and give their best, but just have some fun.
The next raid of WoW Classic will open soon. Already next month, the gates of Ahn’Qiraj could open on your realm.
The Blackwing Lair has been available in World of Warcraft Classic for quite some time now, and players are craving new content. They are so bored that they are clearing Molten Core with 40 Paladins. Now Blizzard has finally revealed when Phase 5 of WoW Classic will begin, bringing two new raids. The gates of Ahn’Qiraj could already open next month.
When does Ahn’Qiraj start? Patch 1.13.5 for WoW Classic is set to be released in July. However, the event for the opening of Ahn’Qiraj will take place a little later, starting from July 28.
With the Weekly Reset (for us on Wednesday, July 29), it will be possible to start the Ahn’Qiraj event, which ultimately ends with the opening of the gates.
What happens during the Ahn’Qiraj event in WoW Classic?
This is what needs to be done: To complete the preparation for the Ahn’Qiraj event, the entire server must gather countless resources. This ranges from herbs to ores and leather. The whole realm must work together to procure the war supplies.
Donating resources grants badges that players can exchange for reputation. Perfect for easily earning a revered reputation – for example, with Darnassus. Only when all supplies have been gathered can the next phase of the event be initiated.
However, more needs to be done. At least one player must complete a very long quest chain that involves a lot of farming work. In addition to the hundreds of kills of Silithids, raids must also be completed in a “speed run” manner and additional resources gathered.
Only when both objectives are met can the chosen player ring the gong of Ahn’Qiraj to open the door. He will also receive the coveted title “Scarabaeus Lord” and a black drone of the Qiraji as a mount – the probably most exclusive mount that exists to this day in World of Warcraft.
As a reward, there is access to the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj. This is a pretty significant raid where a lot of new loot awaits, and especially at the end, the infamous final boss C’Thun – the first of the Old Gods that can be defeated in WoW.
The event could be over in a few days
Will the event be just like back then? Probably not. It is likely that the event will be significantly faster completed than it was the case on the “Vanilla” servers.
Many large guilds have started gathering resources for the opening event weeks and months ago. Many players suspect that the gates will already open on the full realms within the first week. The increased number of players per realm (compared to back then) is also likely to accelerate this process. Chaos is definitely guaranteed.
Are you looking forward to the opening of Ahn’Qiraj on your realm? Or are you not interested?

Today, on Tuesday, June 30, the Fortnite servers will go down on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, iOS, Android). During this time, the new update 13.20 will be deployed. What’s in the new patch?
Update 11:55 AM: The update 13.40 is now available in Fortnite. We will show you in the German patch notes what has changed in the game.
This is the first major update of Season 3 in Fortnite. So there may be new content on the Fortnite map.
Before players can go on an expedition, the servers will be taken down as usual.
Fortnite servers will be taken down – when and how long?
Downtime start in the morning: The downtime for update 13.20 is set to start at 8:00 AM German time. At 7:30 AM you can join a new round for the last time, after which the servers will be taken down and Fortnite will be down.
How long will the maintenance take? Based on experiences from the last weeks and months, the work should be completed around noon.
Before players can go on an expedition, the servers will be taken down
However, technical problems or other delays may extend the maintenance work. If this is the case, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
When will the patch notes come? Based on experiences from the last updates of the new chapter in Fortnite, it is likely that no patch notes will be released for the Battle Royale mode.
If this is the case, we will compile the most important changes and publish them in the form of patch notes.
What new content does update 13.20 bring?
What new features will there be in Battle Royale mode? In the post from Fortnite Status, there is a hint: “We are giving the game a bit more flare.” This could indicate the new shotgun that has already been leaked.
There are also some bugs that are to be fixed, such as:
Players take fall damage when they fall from ziplines into shallow water
Chug Splashes do not heal when thrown into bushes
Supply drops push loot under the map
You can see all the other issues that Epic is currently working on in the Fortnite Trello.
What does the update bring for the Save the World mode? The crypts will be removed from the game again today, June 30. So with this update, there could be a new quest line.
The crypts will disappear from the game again
Additionally, you should pay attention to the Fortnite map after the update, as it may be that the water is slowly receding. That would be another step closer to the new vehicles, which are still not drivable.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warzone and Modern Warfare today, on June 30th, a new update arrived for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It weighs between 22 and 39.5 GB and brings some new content, including a 200-player mode for Quad. We look at the patch notes to see what new content awaits us.
When does the update arrive? The update came on Tuesday, June 30th, at 8 AM German time and is titled “Season 4 Reloaded.” The Season 4 started 3 weeks ago on June 10th.
Update 1.23 will be between 22 and 39.5 GB large
The size of the update: The “Season Four Reloaded” update is between 22 and 36 GB large. Players on PS4 and Xbox One must also complete a second download of 3.5 GB and then restart the game to play multiplayer. This applies to owners of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
If you own the Free2Play version, that is, only playing CoD Warzone, you can expect an update of 22 to 30 GB. However, it will occupy less disk space with Call of Duty afterwards.
This is happening in Warzone: The update brings the 200-player “Battle Royale Quads” mode – the ultimate battle royale experience. 200 players battle against each other in teams of 4. The mode will only be available online for a limited time but will be available immediately after your update.
Additionally, new contracts are coming. The team has to run to a buy station and can then shop at a discount. These are the “Supply Run Contracts.” As a small “quality of life” change, all players on a team now receive the “Team Eliminated” notification in the kill feed.
On top of that, there are again new Gulag weapons. Instead of running through the respawn prison with automatic weapons, there are now semi-automatic weapons, sniper rifles, and a loadout that consists only of your bare fists and a throwing knife.
Here on the right, the spotter is seen marking the enemy for his sniper buddy.
The update also brings a new item to Call of Duty: Warzone, the “Spotter Scope,” which allows players to check the environment and mark enemies. This item was leaked a while ago, along with a crazy “Prop Hunt” mode.
This is happening in Modern Warfare – Patch Notes
What’s new in Modern Warfare: A new map, Cheshire Park, is coming. It is located in London. It is described as a picturesque garden with long, beautiful sightlines. How romantic.
The new mode “Team Defender” is returning to Modern Warfare after almost 10 years. The mode follows the format of “Capture the Flag.” However, there is only one flag that the teams fight over instead of two.
Update brings new playlist with 200-player modes
The new patch also directly changes the playlist of the two shooters CoD MW 2019 and Warzone:
Modern Warfare
Ground War
Gunfight Blueprints
Team Defender
Cheshire Park 24/7
Shoot or Ship 24/7
Warzone
BR Quads 200
BR Trios
BR Duos
BR Solos
Blood Money
This means both current CoDs get a completely new mode. While in Warzone the 4-player Battle Royale now starts with 200 players, MW has the new map for grinding as a 24/7 playlist. One of the most popular modes is also returning to the game – Shoot the Ship 24/7.
New weapon for Warzone and Modern Warfare
This is the new weapon: New in the game for Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone is a new weapon: the sniper rifle “Rytec AMR.”
A .50 caliber sniper that is unlocked in-game through a mission. It is presented as one of the “deadliest semi-automatic” weapons you can grab. If it brings a similar punch as the other snipers in the game, it should become one of the strongest weapons in BR directly in Warzone.
The preliminary patch notes already show the new content that comes with the update. With the 200-player battle royale mode and the Juggernaut mode, Infinity Ward seems to be setting new stimuli for Call of Duty: Warzone.
In addition to the new content, there comes a large pile of weapon adjustments. Included are nerfs for the powerful guns Grau 5.56 and MP5.
